Only Russia and china can stop US terror  Smiley

Then US companions won't let it happen, which their numbers are more than Russia groups. If you want to invade US, you should stop using US products like Microsoft, Dell, Facebook, Apple, etc. The products development make US is more powerful than other countries.

I just got some related articles

I think it has told by many articles that the main cause of HIV is have sex with multiple partners, so it can infect the gay too if the "husband" cheat on the "wife" with the other gay. If both gay and straight guy just have single partner, so the risk for them to get infected by HIV is tiny.

There have been so many surprises lately that betting on underdogs would possibly yield more profit  Cool

Yeah but I guess just few person who bet on underdog team. I think since the odds for good team like US and Mexico was small, then people just wanted to bet on other option like sum of goal, cards, margin goal, etc instead of bet on underdog team to win although its had high odds.

For tonight match, I'm sure both Costa Rica and Jamaica can beat their opponents. I will make parlay for them, and hope get winning  Smiley

Bitcoin or fiat, if you do nothing to grow them, you will lose them. Probably you'll have an emergency and will have to sell all your bitcoins at loss.

Money won't forgive your lack of attention, never

It can be a speculation then, if the price is higher or lower in future. If the price goes up, so we are lucky, otherwise we can loss it if its price goes down. The question is, until when you want to hold your money? In my opinion, don't too depend on prediction that state the price will be higher in 10 years later, just take a chance when a big event is happening, like greece crisis that change the bitcoin price immediately.
6765  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is the Chinese mentality so risky? on: July 14, 2015, 01:18:01 PM
I am less worried about their passion for making money than the cost of doing it. I see too many examples of Chinese people destroying nature and animals to feed their ever increasing needs.

Examples :

1. Rhinoceros - Rhino populations are facing serious threats from illegal trade (primarily poaching for traditional Chinese medicine) 
    https://www.savetherhino.org/rhino_info/threats_to_rhino
2. Tigers - {Tiger penis} https://news.vice.com/article/china-outlaws-the-eating-of-tiger-penis-rhino-horn-and-other-endangered-animal-products
3. Dolphins - Must say, more of this is done by the Japanese people.  {http://www.thecovemovie.com/FAQRetrieve.aspx?ID=37078}
4. Abelone - http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China_Business/NK10Cb02.html

And their thirst for energy and the impact on air pollution --> http://fortune.com/2014/11/05/the-cost-of-chinas-dependence-on-coal-670000-deaths-a-year/

It's as if they are slowly eating the world, with no consideration for the day of tommorrow. It's very sad.  Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

I'm not sure the actions was made by Chinese only, I think all of businessman in palm oil, pulp-paper, rubber, and other agribusiness sector have destroyed the nature too. But yeah several cities in China have dangerous level of air pollution.
6766  Economy / Economics / Re: Can bitcoin really save Greece? on: July 14, 2015, 01:06:17 PM
The blame game, lawlessness, perception, corruption, unproductive work, lying, dead entities, injustice, Tax evaders, overspending and ZELEVOUNAI are all reasons why Greece, one of the best countries in history is no more a real country.
How can the country where the famous philosophers was born and democracy principal began, lost its morality and did bad things like corruption etc. We hope the Greeks can struggle in this condition.

Bitcoins can only be used as an alternative for obvious financial restrictions for Greece. Even paypal also had to step back from dealing with Greece. As long as bitcoin is not banned in Greece, it could be helpful but not too much.
Atleast they can saving their money into bitcoin instead of saving it in bank, which they have full control on their money

The best option can never be leaving a country, if such an event is to happen, other countries will automatically disallow Greeks to travel to other countries, the population is as big as 11 million. Leaving a troubled country is never an option. High taxes must be paid in order to repay the debt, otherwise the country which is dangling on the edge will completely collapse.
It will be harder for Greeks to pay high tax since the price of almost everything become more expensive like food and petrol, and thousands Greek lost their jobs.

6767  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is the Chinese mentality so risky? on: July 14, 2015, 06:36:24 AM
Calculating risk isnt a way on how the chinese do their business, Chinese seldom calculate risk because they are more into speculation. They mostly take on their action without thinking too much which is why they love "gambling" in form of trading by buying through a speculation or hype.

So can we say Chinese is a pretty lucky person who always dare to bet all in anything? They seems never hesitated about high risk for high profit. I was curious about it, and when I was searching about chinese business strategy, I got this article http://www.china-ready.com/articles/SevenSecretsToBusinessSuccessInChina.htm
6768  Economy / Economics / Re: Can bitcoin really save Greece? on: July 14, 2015, 06:25:46 AM
There's more to to the Greece fault than corruption. And more than the politicians, I think it was more about the mistakes by the banks.

I think the most mistakes was made by the government, which they spent too much money when were running the country. The main cause was corruption http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/03/greece-corruption-alive-and-well

I'm sure bitcoin can save Greeks, not Greece, because Greece is run by the corrupt government. The better ways for Greeks is, don't live in Greece anymore, where the government there will always take high tax from them.

There is nothing wrong in your txid, and your transaction to 1ALfmoT5agaELa4ZoeLNJrgp2A8hXLYhq9 has got 9 confirmations. Did the bitcoin you have sent really go back to your wallet? It's weird if so.
6770  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC needs the trust of masses on: July 14, 2015, 05:07:53 AM
I'm not sure but there was an advantage beside its disadvantage about the fluctuation, where the traders took this chance to get high profit when the price was being not stable. But yeah it's a disadvantage for bitcoin development, because make most people still not sure about the potential of bitcoin since the price is not as stable as fiat.
6771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trending in greece! on: July 14, 2015, 05:00:31 AM
Actually I'm not sure bitcoin trending can raise the economy of Greece immediately, which the main reasons of why Greece got bankrupt were corruption and bribe in the government. The Greece people can switch into bitcoin, but they still can't avoid high tax from the government. But anyway, Greece has shown positive trend in bitcoin development there.
6772  Other / Off-topic / Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..." on: July 14, 2015, 03:52:39 AM
I don't know exactly whats the point to wait the price of bitcoin reach $1,000 or above. If you want profit, why we need to wait for many years. You will get profit if you can take advantage on the fluctuation price of bitcoin. Then its better for you to learn trading strategies and can get profit little by little in short time than waiting the price reach $1,000. For me, I would sell all my bitcoins if the price goes up atleast $50 higher, and buy it back when the price goes down.
6773  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ISIS reportedly gives away sex slaves as 'prizes' in Koran contest on: July 09, 2015, 06:45:50 PM
Jesus' support for the rules of the old testament: Mark 7:10, Luke 16:17, Matthew 5:18-19
You can read Romans 3:19

Support for slavery: Colossians 3:22, Luke 12:47-48
Have you heard about Ayyub who treated his slaves like him as human?

On women: Colossians 3:18, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, 1 Timothy 2:11-15
You should read the verses fully, don't just take one verse which its actually related to next verses. And since its begin to off-topic, then you can ask your priest about it next sunday Wink

May be. But I really believe that there is a tacit understanding between the ISIS and the Israelis. The reasons are:

1. ISIS hasn't attacked the Israelis till now.
2. Israelis have bombed the Syrian Army positions, in areas where they were fighting the ISIS. This indirectly helped the Islamic State to conquer these locations.
3. Israelis have shot down a number of Syrian Air Force fighter jets, inside the Syrian borders. All of these jets were shot down in regions where the Syrian Armed Forces are engaged in active combat with the ISIS.
Your theories seems reasonable. Then we only can wait what will be happened laters

U can win in online lottery. The possibility is low, but it still exists. http://casinomonster.ca/history-of-gambling-in-canada/ U can check it out. If u don't win, at least u can relax and gamble online. Good luck!
Not bad idea, but it will be hard to get rich in that way. But we can relax if lose, because too depend on this way to make us rich. I think the best way is make an online gambling site.

I have an inspirational quote
"Being rich isn't about how much you have, but it's about how much you give"
Well can you give me some bucks then?  Grin
6775  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ISIS reportedly gives away sex slaves as 'prizes' in Koran contest on: July 08, 2015, 04:07:13 PM
You can't ignore that those are there too. Jesus makes it clear that the laws of the old testament are still valid for one. Like killing your child if she disobeys you. As for slavery for example, he doesn't oppose it. Anywhere that I know of. Even though he had plenty of opportunity to. Slaves, or servants as the English translation of the bible calls them, are even told to obey their masters as they would god or Christ. Women are told to be submissive to their husbands as to god. They aren't allowed to teach or have any authority over men. In fact men touching women are considered to be defiling themselves. There's a lot of ugly stuff in there.
Can you tell me the verses?

I have my doubts. Why is the ISIS refraining from attacking Israel?
I think ISIS are 'clever'. They know that they haven't ready to attack Israel for now.

I don’t care what Abraham or Jesus or Mohammed said. But the fact is that their followers do try to increase the number of adherents by any means possible.
From your words, then I conclude that their followers are misinterpreting Abraham doctrines.

If you want to show bitcoin to the world, why don't you gather your community, make a big banner or create a mosaic of bitcoin logo on the supporters tribune in football match instead of tour de france, since football is the most favorite sport in the world  Smiley
6777  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: July 07, 2015, 02:27:02 PM
a simple method use buy people manufacturer something really cheap, give it value, create a demand from a sells point of view and sell it for x100 manufacturing price make sure you own the copyrights of course.

It's not easy to increase the value of manufacture, you must do patiently and it will take long time I guess. It's not same with the value of money, fiat, gold, or other commodity.
6778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your biggest problem with Bitcoin on: July 07, 2015, 02:22:41 PM
The biggest issue is the volatility and I think that's what scares a lot of people off, but at the same time its that volatility that is very attractive to speculators and thus the potential for profit. For the average user who may wish to use it as a currency though it can be scary for them.

This is what I thought for the first time Im doing trading bitcoin, I scare about the volatility but at last I think without any volatility I dont think I can get good profit. With this volatility we can earn every time and get much profit from it



The biggest problem is, I can't spend my bitcoin in any real shop that accept it in my city, so I must exchange it to fiat before if I want to buy a stuff. I hope there will be real shop that accept bitcoin sooner.

I dont know about your city but there are plenty shop that accept bitcoin as their payment out there and from what I heard they also build some ATM machine for some people to get their bitcoin too from a mall so I guess some shops will open in no time. Cheer up  Grin

Thanks for your information, but that's not useful for me. Do you want me to visit your city for just spend my btc or use ATM machine? If you can build one in my city, it sounds better then  Cheesy

I didnt mean it that way, because there are some country that build bitcoin ATM and I think in some few years later if there is a mass adoption of bitcoin or bitcoin becoming mainstream may be your goverment will try to build one of it. Because from my research there are quite good of adoption in this past years in some countries http://cointelegraph.com/news/114093/seven-cities-leading-bitcoin-adoption-in-2015. This will make bitcoin fast to grow in number of adoption and its price too

Don't you know these countries has legalized bitcoin and their governments let it grow rapidly? Actually I really wish the shop and ATM will be built in my city. Maybe just wait until 2-3 years later.

What if Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is a puppet obeying the orders of CIA and Mossad?
Do you really believe they are behind ISIS?

No. If you study the Abrahamic religions closely, then you can find that the ultimate aim is to increase the number of adherents by any means possible. The tactics which are currently being employed by the Islamic State does have eerie resemblance to the same employed by the Spanish conquistadors, when they discovered the Americas. Why go back to the 15th century? The Christian terrorist organization New Tribes Mission uses similar tactics even now, to get new converts.
Do you think Abraham teach us to increase the number of adherents with violation?

I'm not a religious person. I don't believe in any of it. But those bad parts aren't there only to tell people about the conditions in antiquity. Many are guidelines on how you should live your life. If you're Christian, you have a lot of bad parts in the new testament for example: slavery, murder, oppression of women, revenge, etc, etc.
Then do you think in new testament Jesus teach us to do murder, slavery, etc.?

Being rich or becoming rich is excessively over rated I mean money can't stop you from having a heartbreak? Leading a healthy and positive life is surely going to help a lot, more than money ever can! Instead of getting rich maybe people should Control their needs

We need spend much money to buy healthy food. Do you know the price of salad is more expensive than junk food? Then you should know how much the price to get healthy life. Eat salad and fresh fruit, go to gym, do yoga, etc.
