661  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin treated as money in Australia from 1. july on: May 13, 2017, 09:58:51 AM
I've just read that Australia will start accepting bitcoin as a currency from July 1st. Also allowing bitcoin to be integrated better into the economy and offers no tax on it. Anyone else read about this?

Nice. This just proves btc is a growing physical asset. Well its better for them because they are considered a 1st world country and they wont be needing tax. But in some 3rd world countries where taxes is a way for the government to give back for the country then it would take long period before the start to recognize btc. Business firms may adapt it but it's not easy for government to input tax on it.

Well that's rather new because i heard btc adapted by japan and why not a country making there own crypto currency?. And i think it's good to invest here because in time other countries would want to make there own currency and low chances of scams. But if these would happen countries that would make there own currency will make most transactions around the world in the blockchain or some the same sort and banks would be useless.

Please remove the pool.

Now most people got it "right" because it still open, so people can vote in the right result.

Also clearly the final will be Cavaliers v Warriors, the question is, how long will the series be?
Let's wait until the Finals will officially start, there will be plenty of surprises and I see the Spurs has a good shot against the warriors, just like when we are expecting they will easily be beaten by the Rockets when Leonard was announce out. For sure this series Leonard will be healthy again and we all love to see a very competitive and exciting game.

I think it also one of anticipating matches in the western series because these two are currently powerhouse in the west conference. The spurs still has the chance to dominate the warriors even they are the underdogs during these match. And also this is the first conference finals the spurs had eversince dunkan retired. They had a tough series so that is also a good training rather than just resting and playing with teammates.

If your an addict to gambling thats not good.
Because it may lost ur wealth.If you are an addict to gambling you never stop until you dont feel to stop
U never gain but always a loser.
You are not content on what you have,yoi just play a game no focus to win.

That's the disadvantage of being a gambling addict because you can have the chance to lose everything you've got and you should be aware of it. Because if you are not, you will lose everything.

Well everyone must've tried gambling either in life situations or just some petty local betting. You may lose money and if so your future and decision. No one can really say that did not have a risk even in simpler terms. Sometimes gambling also is a bit thrilling but it also is life threatening. Not dying but losing control of the addiction and it may turn ur life around. So if we gamble remember to set boundries and dont get overboard it.

i have done enrolling some poker tournaments several times ago and always got busted in the first step but if there is other tournaments offering good prize with free registering i would be glad to participate it
yes  i also take interested to be part of such tournaments, but tournament you have to face the oldest and expert investors. who play gambling in a very very smart way.

I think i just did this once. It's really hard and you have to be patient in your game because it's just like your are playing with any other bot. Live players dont just make bluffs and go all bet just for luck, sometimes its frustrating because you may have good cards but your enemies keep on folding. And the only action you can see is if both of you have at least trios or even 5 cards to have a sure win.
666  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Besides its speculation ,what is the real use of bitcoin ? on: May 12, 2017, 12:19:57 PM
All these alts with no use will die but BTC will not it will grow to become the universal currency. A fork is definitely needed at some time though to optimize the system while keeping everything else intact. BTC is king.

I thought fork is being generated as a solution for many and still increasing delayed transaction and higher fees?.

Now the world is crazy about bitcoin!

We talk about its price ,its mining all day.

Besides its speculation ,what is the real use of bitcoin ?

It's not bad to ask questions all over the forum but i think it's in your own initiative to search and go through pages and sections in the community. and sometimes there are FAQ's already answered and asked many times.
667  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Phenomenal rise of Bitcoin price! on: May 12, 2017, 10:58:47 AM
As we are already witnessing price rise. I think it will reach 6000$ milestone this year end. Do you agree? What do you think? What are the reasons behind this price rise?
With the way price is going, its not out of place or out of order to start assuming that it could get that high but the simple truth there is that can it actually reach that high without forces trying to curtail such influence. The issue is that bitcoin has been able to be potent against the news coming from China to wittle it down but in this case I see beyond China coming with the attacks and when it happens, will bitcoin be able to stand that and still maintain the increment in price?

Well also one potential of it to grow that countries may start to adopt it aside from Japan. Cause it already is affecting world economy and business worlds. What we can observe in the near future is that goods can now be transacted through bitcoin. Today it might have problems but i think that is expected to be fix because this is only just one of other problems btc may encounter.

I think some of the tradings too are that happens almost everyday is is sometimes managed improperly. And sometimes if there is a government agency intervening then you would know that a some of the budget is not directly being recieved by any of that agency. also some malpractices that's being mismanaged exchanges have the ability to create a tremendous impact on the cryptocurrency and the price discovery.

Mga boss? Ano po ba dapat kong salihan na sig campaign na pwede ako??

(Edit : i mean yung rank ko po)
Sali ka sa mga alt coin na campaign malaki ang bigayan.
hindi lahat ng altcoin malaki bigayan tyambahan lang din yan minsan tapos depende sa % na ibibigay sa bounty.

Bantay bantay lng bro sa coinmarket. At tsaka try mo din mag search search para d ka mawala at d agad masisisanti sa sig campaign. Minsan kasi pag nagaganahan hindi natin magagawa yung mga ibat ibang diskarte sa furom. Kasi mostly naman altcoin is not 100% profitable pag mahina ung bintahan at kung minsan schemes pa yung ibang masasalihan. Pero okay lng tanung tanung lng brad nasagot naman ung ibang infos mo is ibang ka members.
671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LiteCoin Officially Alive...Now Jumping on: May 11, 2017, 12:12:15 PM
I invest a little of my BTC into LiteCoin for the past month and so far so good. I got them at the $11 level and right now it shoot up to the $36 level...and I can feel that many LiteCoiners are so happy with the result more so that for the past three days or so it showed some red signs in coinmarketcap website.

Now...my question (and a prayer also) is this: Would it be possible for LiteCoin to reach the $100 level maybe 3 months from now?
Price of litecoin increased​ because of the activation of segwit on litecoin and it is good adoption in litecoin network
 many people made investments in litecoin up to marketcap of litecoin increased​ too,
in my prediction litecoin's price is still increasing up to $50/LTC because couples years ago resistance area around $50
and i am doubt it will be $100 in 3 months from now.
so this mean its better to buy alot of litecoins before the price hits up to 100$ i would like to invest to litecoin but sadly i dont have money right now i would invest to litecoin as long when i have money

Well at least we can hear litecoin in further bitcoin flucatuations. Honestly also it is just now that revently i am hearing about LTC's price in the market cap. Cause even then ethereum was the new one Litecoin and dogecoin where the ones next to Btc. Also probably this coins need more investors. Well this is also a good advertisement for litecoin. Lets hope it goes up in a month.
672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: About altcoin on: May 11, 2017, 06:33:19 AM
Altcoins are testnets for future altcoins or bitcoin (best case) or outright scams or even malware (worst case). None of it lasts very long and if you believe in any of these projects you're going to be a fool in the end. It's all smokes and mirrors.

Well the some of the downsides but also altcoins are tokens that can be mined just like btc. Bitcoin is the main reason this other coins started so they are all technically just some copycat of what a bitcoin is. There are other currencies that used in many different uses depends on how the creator made it. But i agree with earlier that most altcoins are just scams that sometimes talk advertise in nice ways just to gather investors and then suddenly stop projects.
673  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Reason Bitcoin will always be #1 on: May 10, 2017, 09:00:55 AM
And I'm not sure that bitcoin will always be a leader. Bitcoin has a big problem - unconfirmed transactions. And if this problem remains unresolved, bitcoin will lose popularity. There will be other alternative coins to be used

Well that problem is just the transaction fees and surely blockchain is doing something to reduce and the problem because of millions of transactions happening everyday, i think it is just as normal that this clog would happen, as long as transactions will not just vanish and its just ok. Btc still remains popular and it had many issues in the past.
674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 10, 2017, 05:24:56 AM
Kawhi Leonard or the claw, the downtown brothers Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, or the unstoppable LeBron James.
Well, the Eastern and western conference are packing things up. The Cleveland has a sure spot in the conference finals so does the golden state warriors. There are so many things and plays to consider on who will have a match up in the NBA finals. I think kawhi Leonard has the ability to guard LeBron but they will have to go pass through the Golden state warriors to do that ( not mentioning the beard is making them a hard time ).
Let's all see what will happen in the roll of the ball.

Yes, Kawhi Leonard can guard LeBron James. But how about his other teammates? Kyrie and Love is very hard to guard. I dont think Spurs's guards can keep up defend these two good players if ever they make it to the finals. Plus, Parker is injured. Its a bad timing for them. I hope coach Pov will do something about this. I want to see Spurs
On the other hand, GS have health and strong players. Also good bench players. Its a good match up if ever they reach the finals.

It's true that leonard can guard james, but i can also observe that other members of the spurs are good at defending and not just leonard. Especially at tough times just like ginobili defended harden during the last second. A teams toughness also can be measured by the clutch plays they could do just for the win.

GS even last year had good bench players that outplayed cavs last year and there was no big issues, and somehow coincedentaly cavs had good bench players and all the haters are saying that james is making his own superteam?. This is just crazy, it's just up to the coach on how he would utilize the bench players.
675  Local / Altcoin Announcements (Pilipinas) / Re: Naghahanap kaba ng Trabaho? Pinas o Abroad? Anung Trabaho? on: May 10, 2017, 02:46:11 AM
Naghahanap ko ng related na job para sa course ko pero ilan years pa ang hihintayin ko bago ako makagraduate sa college at makahanap ng trabaho. Gusto ko rin magtrabaho sa ibang dahil nga sa green pasture pero kung lumalakas naman ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas dito nalang ako. Medyo tinaas naman nila yun minimum wage dito local are namin. 

Well sabagay. Anu ba kurso mo?. Ang hirap kasi sa mostly din sa pinas is talagang sinusulong nila ang pag punta sa ibang bansa, d rin naman natin sila masisisi kasi ultimo government workers gusto din sana mag abroad. Pero matagal pa din bago umangat ang ekonomiya natin lalo na't kunti lng ang infrastructors na na susuportahan ng gobyerno dito. Kung maaprobahan dn ni Digong ung mga nuclear powerplant at ung wind turbine mas aangat ang ekonomiya ng pinas ng pauntiunti.

I guess they are not so interested in Bitcoin, but just to grab the opportunity to look swag in public by using money 3.0.
Smart advertisement for them, as if it success they will get a couple of good articles talking about this deal. Good ORM techniques lol

Nope the idea is that btc is tax free so at least if you buy it using btc then you could avoid some taxes and interest on both land and building. Plus it is also a good public closure or advertisement for business people who wants to invest in btc because minor advertisement don't attract them. Well this is just the start of the own economic prowess of btc.
677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC dominance decreasing. on: May 10, 2017, 12:46:53 AM
I personally think that is a good thing, first of all the decreasing dominance means there will be an alt coin that can become bitcoin rival which means we have a backup coin if in case bitcoin got problem, and then people who are investing in alt coin is only invest for short term, so the dominance for alt coin maybe its not correct, if there is no implementation in shop or business then no matter what is the number, alt coin will not dominance
It's not decreasing in a meaningful way though, and that's essentially the giant caveat for this entire thing. The entire market is being pumped to be way too valuable and there isn't enough support for it across the board, so there is nothing propping up the rest of the cryptos that are supposed to be competing. Ethereum is the only decent competitor and even then it has its own issues.
Bitcoin is still very secure in its dominant position and likely will not be dethroned for a while.

Ya i agree and it's not technically decreasing but rather many investors are getting into it that the supply is getting low. I think better comparison is that btc will become uk where a it is higher than price dollar but US still more popular than uk in terms of economy. Ethereum might become the next big thing but it doesnt change the fact that btc is still dominant over other coins.
678  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the next $10 Billion Blockchain? on: May 09, 2017, 11:05:34 AM
Over $25 Billion in the last 30 Days went to Cryptocurrencies. Marketcap is now above 51 billion usd up from 25 just a month ago and experts say it aint no bubble and it is natural growth!  When we will see Eth or Ripple at 10 billion marketcap? What other blockchain projects are candidates for 10 000 000 000 + marketcap?

the whole marketcap is still very low, if you compare to stocks and forex, crypto is way behind in terms of money invested, this need time to mature, i think ETH will be the next one, it's the only one that is already very near to reach 10 billions, litecoin is far away need to be x6 or 0.1 btc to have that marketcap, but if bitcoin go even higher they might reach the 10 billions cap much early, it depend on bitcoin

I think ethereum and ripple can also rich 10 billion. But btc's price is still going up high for how many consecutive days. These coins just need more investors cause what is being advertised is bitcoin and rarely we can see other alt coins. I also thought that these coins are not really directly targetting 10billion market cap this time but rather projects that could entice many investors.
679  Economy / Economics / Re: On what year crypto in general will be massively adopted? on: May 08, 2017, 04:55:16 AM
I think this year will be crucial because couple of big countries are in process to frame rules and let the status known regarding their stand on bitcoin which will clarify lot of thing and its future. Also bitcoin has reached all time high of 1600+$ recently which will attract more buyers attention towards it as a investment purpose.

Yes because at least if this rich countries adopt them bitcoins it would not greatly affect there economy, whereas other 3rd countries they would really need taxes to make there own budget for economic growth. i must also suggest that many millionaires disregarding countries are already getting richer in just investments alone. There are also countries who has their mining facilities so i guess other countries also would adopt crypto currency by mining.
680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 08, 2017, 03:42:29 AM
My Cavs keeps going, undefeated and unstoppable for now, there seems to be zero competition for them in the east conference. This was the most fought game of the series and it still was no contest. Irving put it away in the last quarter alone while Lebron just took a secondary role. I think Washington could prove to be a fiercer opponent since they had some great games during the season but I would be surprised if the Cavs lose more than one game before reaching the NBA finals.


I'm happy for what cavaliers had achieve so far, it will be a good momentum to carry in the east finals which I think they will not be having a hard time to deal with nay team they will face. Meanwhile, it looks like the Spurs and Rockets are getting more exciting, the series are tied now after dismantling the Spurs in the game 4.

Well this is expected for the cavs and i though the cavs added edy tavares in there rooster? I haven't seen him so much aroung during the playoff so far. Edy is also an accomplished d-league player and he is really a great center for the cavs with his height and reach. But nonetheless they are still doing great despite him not playing.

Spurs and rockets are having a tick clock showdown and each game they would dominate each other with points. But i think spurs is gonna win the series.
