641  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: December 24, 2015, 06:45:06 PM
You can't really make anything from gambling unless you have a talent for gambling.

What does it mean to have talent for gambling? In which consist the talent for gamble? To be able to make a phone call to the luck and to convince it to come immediately at the casino or at the gamble online site when you want to gamble and to order it to make you to win? Or to find someone who is a close friend of luck in order that this close friend tell at the luck to help you to win? Or to pay the luck and then "him" gamble for you giving all the won money to you?

I cannot find other cases when someone can be named as a talented person in gambling. If are other maybe the OP can help me in writing some others here as a reply to this my post.
642  Economy / Speculation / Re: China stimulus effect on bitcoin price on: December 24, 2015, 02:51:03 PM
Reports recently about a new stimulus from China.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/recession/china-economic-slowdown/12063539/China-stimulus-hopes-lift-global-markets.html

How is this going to effect the bitcoin price? You think it will cause the price to go up or down?

I think that it will be any effect in the price of bitcoin every financial or economic move that can be made by Chinese Government. As for me bitcoin "he" is out of this kind or reforms. "He" is not part of the Chinese formal financial system and is in the hand of the simple people. This stratum of people is affected very few from this kind of reforms which are named otherwise macroeconomic reforms. Such kind of reforms have to do more with employment, formal national currency and other macro economical factors. Maybe can be some effect the change of value of Chinese yuan (the increase or decrease of its value in a significant percentage). But always maybe. Because, as I told above bitcoin is out of the above financial system and for more is a world currency. As such it is hard that only a portion of its users (even might are an important part of those) can affect in a considerable amount its price (changing it in more big amounts if the value of yuan will have big increase or the opposite case, affecting in this way the price of bitcoin). Anyhow China is the country of the big surprises. So it is not at all strange to have surprises even regarding bitcoin. Maybe they can fully regulate bitcoin and this can affect for sure its price. Increasing it.
643  Economy / Speculation / Re: Beginning of the trend reversal on: December 24, 2015, 02:23:33 PM
Today on the 20th of December the trend is reversing.
The bitcoin price is coming back down from its $450-$500 peak.

Today we are at 24 and the trend is the same. Any kind of reversal was happen. Even we can tell that is stable. This kind of behavior of bitcoin is a new thing as for me. We are seeing a bitcoin much more calm than before. Every its move is made with calm and not like before with high up and downs in big amplitude. So when move, move in and with calm (when it goes down or when if goes high) and when stabilize go around a close level of value. It a sign of more maturity compared to before or an occasional behavior? Will see.
644  Economy / Speculation / Re: Simple Poll - plus or minus $450 by mid-day GMT? on: December 24, 2015, 02:14:52 PM
Will the price be higher or lower than $450 by mid day Xmas day GMT?

Personally, I have no idea.

Good. I like it. First time I like a thread which have to do with the foreseen of the price of bitcoin in a determined date. And like it because of the answer given to his question the main poster himself. I have no idea. The most possible right answer according even to me. Me too have no idea. Cannot have. Who can command and oblige bitcoin to have one foreseen price by someone? Good. I feel pleasure read such main posts. Maybe I' am a rigid person in don't like this kind of games. Until are considered as a game I am in. But most of the "predictors" are sure about their foresees. What can be done with such people except be rigid?
645  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin related documentaries on: December 24, 2015, 09:44:07 AM
Anybody got some links to them or names so i can look them up?

Saw one yesterday, was very interesting.

I'm thinking of putting a database online with links to documentaries or stream them.

You can find all the videos you want if your do a simple search at youtube (or at google but adding the word youtube) using the word "bitcoin" or "bitcoin videos". It is very easy and yuo can find tens of those. With all the possible news or info on every of those. You will not find the time to see all these or to "swallow" everything that you will see and will hear.
646  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain transaction fee just got doubled on: December 24, 2015, 09:31:53 AM
Did anybody noticed blockchain now charge 20000 satoshi instead of 10000 for transaction done as quick send.
Is this necessary before block halving ?

I don't know this because i use Coinbase as wallet and all fees are paid by this wallet. Then I have not seen this possibility (sending quickly bitcoins) within this wallet. I cannot judge if this is a need or a desire to have more those who made the confirmations but I know to tell that is a reverse trend with that which was until today. In time, from the past in our days, the fees of the transactions were decreased. So to tell the right i cannot understand this inversion of tendency. Maybe is a need seeing that to many transactions need more time to be confirmed.
647  Economy / Economics / Re: Transaction fee on: December 24, 2015, 08:41:30 AM
Now value of transaction fee in fiat is unpredictable scaring commerce and blocking the whole bitcoin development.
Linking the fee through 5-10 biggest exchanges to consumer price index would solve a lot of problems and end a lot of discussions.

What is the connection between the fees of fiat transactions and the development of bitcoin only one person can know. The author of main post. I try to make a possible connection between those two totally different worlds but cannot arrive. As i know bitcoin is produced and exist in a digital way. It is decentralized (so its produced by everyone will wont in every nook of the world). The fiat is paper or metal and its produced only by Central Banks in totally secrecy and only by few chosen people. The only place when they meet each other is the exchange. Where are both together but not in contact with each other, Because it is impossible. This is the whole story. And I when read it cannot find any kind of connection like that write by OP. So the only remaining thing to do for me is to ask the OP: Can you explain better what want to tell with your posts? Then, maybe will give some thoughts (if I will have such).

It would be a totally other thing if is talked about the transaction fee-s during the send of bitcoin. But even in this case I don't see any connection as such mentioned by OP. The bitcoin development is made by the developers and their work have nothing to do with the mentioned fee-s.
648  Economy / Economics / Re: outside from bitcoin is network marketing profitable ? on: December 24, 2015, 08:05:38 AM
some one offer to me to join his network marketing company  is network marketing profitable ?

One Hero Member who make this kind of question is something shocking for me. So Hero Member a bitcointalk and have not even the minimum of knowledge about network marketing? Dear Hero, network marketing is something very large and you can learn everything about it only doing a very simple search at internet. Go at google search at type: network marketing. Will see thousands and thousands webpages with all the possible point of view about this "two words". You will have not time to read even half of those.

As for the profitable I can answer doing another or two questions: Is profitable a business? If yes for how many time?  My answer would be: Who knows? Depends from the business, depends from the field in which act, depends from its leaders, depends of the source of its resources, depends from the people who work on it, depends from other hundred unknown factors with which this business will faces during all its activity.

Had you the answer you waited? Was in some kind helpful this my post?
649  Economy / Speculation / Re: We're going to crash! Here's proof! on: December 23, 2015, 05:35:17 PM
I was looking at the tradeview charts when I noticed my autistic brother looking over my shoulder. He said "It's going to crash." I asked him when. His reply was "Soon, within a few days."

The thing with my autistic brother is he can be streaky, I mean, he gets in these moods where he gets everything right and then he gets in other moods where he can't do anything right. He's real good with numbers and patterns, though.

I just sold a few coins, I hope he's right.

So if I make a dream who tell me that I might became within 2 hours a big predictor if I drink a beer at the 6 p.m., it is for sure that, if I fulfill this condition, can predict everything will pass in my mind during all the day. Good this option. I will try it with all my dreams that I do every night. One night I am king. Another one make love with Cindy Crawford (but when was young not now). This last one seems a little impossible to be true but if we see the main post can be hopes. So, what remain to be dreamed other? I will try with having 1 000 000 bitcoin. And then with those can be made everything. Remain the question? What must to do to make this dream? I found what. Will do a pm to OP. He has its sources and for sure will be able to give me a good solution.
650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Capacity increases for the Bitcoin system on: December 23, 2015, 03:06:00 PM
Capacity increases for the Bitcoin system

    -Very soon libsecp256k1 will be used for verification, which speeds up initial sync time by 400%-700% and reduces CPU load for all full nodes.

    -A segregated witness softfork will be done ASAP (within 3-6 months, probably). This will at least double the effective transaction capacity (ie. it is equal to or better than BIP 102), and at the same time it will provide features important for safely scaling even more in the future.
    -There will not be any hardfork for at least the next ~year.

    -To pave the way for scalable hardfork max block size increases (which will eventually be necessary), and because it is already dearly needed, improved block/tx broadcasting technology such as weak blocks and IBLT will be implemented, hopefully soon after SegWit.

    -The BIPs necessary for efficient deployment of Lightning are already in the pipeline and should be rolled out in 2016. Lightning will allow for almost all of the security, features, and decentralization of Bitcoin transactions while drastically reducing the number of on-blockchain transactions that each individual will need to perform. This is expected to be the real eventual solution to scaling.

https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/capacity-increases

The improvements are welcomed and needed. First of all those who have to do with blockchain. There are every day more and more problems with it.  First was the problem of confirmations (without following the line). Which continue to exist. But are added others. Unknown before. Like the last one happen to me. I sent bitcoin in one destination yesterday and even are confirmed were not at destination. I am losing interests on this amount sent and no one know when my bitcoins will arrive. From the currency of freedom and fastness is becoming the currency of embarrassment and the problems. Why don't make the improvements before the problems appears and happen? Why wait that be problems to act? Cannot understand such behavior.
651  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to secure the bitcoin "life economies" ? The method. on: December 23, 2015, 02:43:55 PM
Very long post OP. And hard, very hard to be executed what is write there. Seems like the preparation for a plot. To not tell that seems even like a school lesson. From the boring ones. I can assure you that my bitcoin are very safe in one place, that is not my computer, and stored in much more easy way than that described by you in your main post. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't want to learn to no one my three year above told experience. Nor to invite someone to follow it. But if someone is interested I can tell only one name and who know it, will understand for what I am writing: Coinbase. Offer an infinity of securities and options which make me feel sure with them. Even are only a web wallet bitcoin. But I can assure everyone who don't know it to go at the homepage of this website and to read everything written there. Will find very interesting things according to me.
652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin related life on: December 23, 2015, 02:26:25 PM
God damn I love crypto but I hate it. When I first started I was making physical coins to sell, making a new crypto currency to help the world.... Gees doing everything with no money spared. Right now as I speak I am no better off than when I started in the slightest including savings... The only thing I made a profit from was selling Physical Bitcoins (this is more of a working hobby anyway) and the physical bitcoin thing will continue as its really great in many levels. I would say that if I spend 1 bitcoin on physical crypto coins that after a lot of hard work I am lucky go profit by 10-15%. It sounds bad but I actually enjoy doing it so its not that bad. ANyway over the last 3 years I have invested in THIS plan and THAT plan and always lost out?!?! I lost out in the way that if I weighed up what I was losing because of recomendation compared to the 15% profit I was making with physical coins I was becoming ILL in the head.

I have one main question which I personally effects many people:

WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE SO MANY SCAMMERS OUT THERE

AND WHY THE FUCK CANT WE STOMP THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS OUT?HuhHuh

You can do nothing against the scammers. They are born in this way. It is everything in their genes. Even in the life they had but basically is a "quality" becoming from the genes. As most of the other qualities everyone of us have. You like to do that you do. You feel good in doing that job. Because your are build within yourself to feel good doing that kind of thing. The same with the scammers. They feel good only when scam the others. Cannot be made nothing else except capture them and beat publicly telling in the same time even the reason of your action. Then send at the prison and forget about them in order that die there. Maybe i am very outrageous in telling these words but I really believe that this must the behavior with all this kind of people (not only the scammers but all the family of the bad people) because are able to ruin innocent life or sweated wealth. 
653  Economy / Economics / Re: Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc on: December 23, 2015, 01:53:15 PM
Does anyone have any idea how many people are using gold as a store of value vs btc?  And how long do you think until we have the same user Base as holders of gold?

I have not found such data but as for me, I think that the holders of gold must be extremely much more compared to them who hold bitcoin. Bitcoin has only 6 years life. It is know much more few compared to gold. Gold was a precious metal (and considered as such) since the old times. So it was requested since thousand years ago. I think cannot be comparison.
654  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Should I choose random faucet drips or average? on: December 23, 2015, 01:48:19 PM
In faucets that let me, should I choose to be always paid in average drip amount or random?

I would tell that you leave forever faucets (because are a waste of time) and don't worth the work made for that you have and commits here in bitcointalk with posts and learning more about bitcoin in order that when it will be the moment to earn some real bitcoins through signature campaigns you be ready. You can find signature campaigns even for your rank but that rank don't pay to much. Be active, increase your rank and you can have much more earnings than those you can have spending time with faucets. And in much more productive way for yourself. It is another thing to click the faucets and a totally another to do posts expressing your thoughts and yourself.
655  Economy / Economics / Re: Reuters:"2016 could prove to be the year that the price of bitcoin surges again" on: December 23, 2015, 10:35:11 AM
Very good. This is an important news. Bitcoin has arrived at Reuters and as a winner. It is speaking about its increase of value regarding the actual one. The readers of Reuters are between the most cultivated and influential people from the all the mos developed countries. If they known bitcoin will feel more interested about it reading the article of Reuters. Who don't know it and will have the first contact with it through Reuters and through such article will have curiosity to know more about it. For sure will have more spread of words and maybe even facts. Someone may want to "taste" "the touch" of this strange currency, decentralized, without owners, without having something behind its "shoulders" and yet with big value which, according to Reuters (yes, Routers) will go bigger during the halving. So maybe will want some bitcoin to have in its digital wallet. If so, the minimum that we will have will be the add of some very influential people in the "ship" led by our "capricious" Dear. Who will help in its increase of value and the known, much more fast.
656  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Say goodbye to decentralization on: December 22, 2015, 05:59:40 PM
Sill it's pretty scary to think that one single company could own 51% of the hash rate.
I'm not sure I completely understand the extents of it but doesn't it give them absolute power of decision over what is and what isn't recorded on the blockchain and how transactions happen?

There were be always other people who will mine. There were be always other businesses which will compete with Bitfury and will be always someone who will invent another better thing than that which have already Bitfury. As for the blochckchain cannot be made nothing that can affect it. He is totally independent and decentralized. Is the amount of all the transactions made from every person who send bitcoin from all around the world. So nothing can happen to it.
657  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Say goodbye to decentralization on: December 22, 2015, 05:49:52 PM
Mining is as centralized as ever, this day is now here. A single corporation owns the majority of the hash rate, bitcoin could be done any minute now. The argument "against their interest" doesn't stand as long as they have the chance to give bitcoin a fatal blow. Interests change and are affected by all sorts of sources, now it has to do with a multi billion dollar economy.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10774773

The most stupid thing I have heard. The OP before making such stupid thread must read and learn more about bitcoin. Then create threads about its actual and future status. Bitcoin was decentralized, is decentralized and will be decentralized. Even if one day will be centralized will be only by the desire of all the world countries with the aim to take care of it and managing it for its good. Thing this (the last) futuristic but much more verifiable than the variant given by OP. Bitcoin cannot be never centralized in the way mentioned by OP. Following is explained the reason. Since today are produced and are in circulation about 15 million bitcoin. Bitfury must mine for other more than 125 years and assuming that no one will mine even 1 satoshi during these years (variant this absolutely impossible)  Bitfury can have (if will be live the sons of actual owners of Bitfury) only the remaining 6 million (less than the half of all the bitcoin in circulation). This amount can make rich 100 generations of their sons but nothing else. They can try to use it for several reasons (that can affect even the price of bitcoin) but never will be able to own it. Who want can read everything told in this post here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply

Ita becoming clearer by the day u just have to be super

observant of whats happening around you and online!


I think that we are yer very, very, very away from that your have written in your main post. If even 10% of the world population will have knowledge about bitcoin and will want to have at least 1 bitcoin the price of it would be much more higher. You are confusing our hopes and our desires with the reality. Bring yourself on Earth because staying in the Moon can be dangerous. It is not there the environment on which it is possible to live.  Wink
659  Economy / Economics / Re: Graphs: Bitcoin volatility surging again, but not quite at early November levels on: December 22, 2015, 02:34:33 PM
I think that the main post has to many graphics but has lose the right interpretation. If we call volatility the trend of the price of bitcoin on the first 10 days of December then have no meaning to speak about this concept. The move within ten days cannot be called volatility even could be much more. Are only ten days. Have not any kind of importance in the price of bitcoin. There are to many other national legal currencies that are much more less stable in short periods like this. And must not be forgotten that are centralized as money. So have someone who cares about those. Who enter and act in market if see risk for that given money trying to stabilize it. Never happen to see such action for fluctuations within 10 or even 30 days. So have no meaning to speak about volatility for bitcoin for such short periods even if this currency would be centralized one. Not in the case when this coin is decentralized (no one care about that) and have any other factor which can affect and condition it except the market. Lets be more generous. Lets give to it some freedom. It's born free. Need that freedom. Lets make it a little happy now in order that it make us more than happy after.  Wink
660  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Bitcoin always be dependent on fiat? Is it? on: December 22, 2015, 01:40:28 PM
As the title says, will it always be dependent on fiat currencies like €, $, ...? Because right now, you always convert before paying. So when you buy a TV, it costs 800$ so that means 1.8 BTC. And by that i dont see how can it become independant? It is just like gold, which cannot be used by itself.

So is my thinking true, or can the prices in the future be projected just through BTC; like you buy a TV and the price is 1.8 BTC. You buy bread, price 0.003 BTC .

I really dont know about these things so thats why i want to hear your knowledge on this.

Bitcoin was not never, it is not already never and will be not never dependent of any kind of fiat money. Being dependent of those mean that its existence or its value be, in some way (whatever can be), dependent from some or one (whatever can be) fiat money. This has never happen, it is not happen now and will not be happen never (so even in the future). You cannot confuse our incapability to understand immediately the value of something in bitcoin with its supposed dependence (according to your post), from one or more fiat money. This is our problem not the problem of bitcoin. Bitcoin is the ONLY currency (except the other decentralized cryptos but that no one of those cannot compared with it in any way) which depends only by itself and the market. Every kind of fiat money is connected with the other similar ones. Controlled almost totally by at least one Authority (which own it). Bitcoin not. The only factor which can affect bitcoin is the demand (because the supply is well known and well defined). Increase of the demand bring increase of its value. Decrease of the demand decrease its value. That's all that can be told about its dependence. Simple and easy. Much, much more such than any other kind of currency (whatever can be).
