Hardly anyone knows about this technology. May be 1 or 2 in my friend circle knows about it. Offer all guys are dumb even if i explain them what bitcoin is then also they makes faces like money. There are still in world world. Bitcoin needs more publication and ads so that everyone would know about it.

Well, bitcoin is still not popular but I don't think ads or publications is possible because who's going to fund those?
Bitcoin is open source and decentralized and I think the "public" world is not ready for it yet.

Yeah its not possible to promote them at local or international level as it can be an expensive affair, people will become aware about it only if they find places to spend it either online or offline.

that could really help a lot in the bitcoin community as long as they hear the word of bitcoin then they would be curious about it and thats the time they start searcching it.! Advertisments really one of aspects that they can get information about bitcoin.

Gambling sites bankroll seems as an interesting idea although I prefer PoS coins. My favorite and preferable option s been DMD Diamond, that coins has never failed me and I have been profiting from it for almost 2 years. Still, always differentiate your investments, never put all your money in the same place.
I do not like gambling and do not want to recommend for the newbie because this in not profitable specially in the long run and in addition gambling is for person who have lots of money, i will recommend sports betting and trading method.

Yeah if you have knowledge of any particular sport then you can try your luck on sports betting as with good strategy you can make good money from it but the better choice is to go for trading.

Agree! Trading is the best unlike gambling because in gambling you can be addicted and you can loose your money in a short period of time.! I cant say that in trading you cant loose but if you know how to handle it when and what to buy and sell then you can earn a decent profit from it.
683  Other / Off-topic / Re: If Bitcoin price would fall to the bottom, what would you do next? on: October 17, 2016, 10:17:20 AM
i think i will sell all of my bitcoin before the price is fall to the bottom and the next thing is i will be become unemployment again like before and maybe i will find another way to make money like what i did with bitcoin.

You will never come to know when it will fall to bottom as it will not give you any prior notice before the downfall and that is the reason it makes bitcoins a very risky investment.

Yeah right but as of now we cant say that bitcoin is risky but in the future we could say that but now you cant because lot of people are investing bitcoin and lot of people learning it , earning and using it as in their daily doings so it wont happen. The demand of it is getting rising and it is getting famous.
684  Other / Off-topic / Re: When and why did you start using Bitcoin? on: October 17, 2016, 10:15:43 AM
i think there are two important reasons that  i start using bitcoin, first is that it is a safe investment, as it can even give me profit for simply holding my bitcoin and the second reason is that i can use bitcoin more easily and safely for shopping even in our local market..

I agree that holding bitcoin is one good investment and we all know that holding it for a long time will give us profit in return.  As long as we are investing money that is excess in our monthly budget, there is a high possibility of succes in this plan because we don't need to touch it or convert it as soon as we saw little increase in price of bitcoin.
But make sure that you are holding higher amount of bitcoins then only you will see some good profits as we don't know how high or low price can be in future and if price drops then holding will not give you profits.

Well i agree but it doesnt mean that you should have that big amount of bitcoin to because you can also have small one you can see also the profits from it but it is just low but it is okay than nothing earning while holding it. As my self im planning to hold bitcoin so that we could see how the bitcoin price rises
685  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: October 16, 2016, 05:48:50 AM
If I am in desperate need of money then I will sell part of my bitcoins to keep things moving and even I don't need to borrow from people around me which will keep my image intact.

Yea i agree also with you it is good to do that move withiut borrowing money.

It is also nice and good move selling something valuable to earn money without borrowing anything but if cant sell any goods or stuff what will you do? You'll end up borrowing but if i want to loan or borrow money i want to borrow on my friends, family or relatives so that i wont really pressure in paying it as fast as i can.
686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on sport = gambling? on: October 16, 2016, 05:46:38 AM
Betting on sport = gambling is definitely correct because once you bet in sportbook like in directbet.eu is consider as a branch of gambling and in short its gambling.

Yes, for me its also a gambling also. there is money involved and it cause addiction also like any betting game.But if you bet on regular season with a family to watch together,its a good bonding moments but doing it everyday just to think for winnings not a good sign.

Agree betting games is really belongs to gambling as long as money is involve it will called gambling. I do agree betting games like sports is really addicted like me when NBA playoffs comes i do bet frequently and now  the playoff season starts i start also betting but i keep loosing now .
687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about the idea of a bitcoin shop in big cities? on: October 16, 2016, 05:44:53 AM
I like to see lots of bitcoin merchants in every shopping mall i enter in all the places of world but for this to happen we may have to wait for few decade but i think this is possible.
It will definitely happen but not now as it will take some more struggle as we have to promote our bitcoin more and have to invite everyone to use bitcoin after that we will see everyone using bitcoin around us and we will see a lot of merchants around us accepting bitcoin.

Agree the only thing is if the bitcoin is famous then lot of stores pop up that accepts bitcoin as payments. Merchants is depending on the trending and the demand of the product so if lot  users or lot are using bitcoin then they are force to try accept bitcoin as payment. Lets hope that in the future lot of shops accepts bitcoin as payment
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: October 16, 2016, 05:42:34 AM
Yes girls are also gambling and I think its logical they are, why would they not, you even got some girls that are addicting to gambling so that is even pretty funny to be honest, right ?
yes there is no doubt about this that girls also do gambling, but their number is really too low as compare to men gamblers, i think it also depend on the area, in some area there is strong restriction for girls even to come out with their hose with out hejaab and only in a intense need, so there they even cannot think about gambling, while in other area girls can play gambling just like men.
Yeah culture i think also plays a part with girl gambling. I think in some cultures, girls are not given the same freedom given to men and its sad but i kniw in most places, yes girls do gamble

Well some of girls dont play gambling because the society dont accepts that kind of girl lot of gossips after she play but yes in some place girls plays gambling. Gambling is not for guys boys only its for all! We have a freedom as long as you have money to bet then you can play.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: October 16, 2016, 05:40:50 AM
Gambling brings be good and reliable profit because I'm investing in casinos bankroll. Gambling is made to bring profit to casino operators and by investing my money I'm becoming their partner and they share profit with me.

That's a very smart way to go about it for sure.
Yeah, if you're an investor or an operator then it's a good way of earning easy profit. It's a different story though if youre the one gambling Cheesy

Right if you are investors of the casinos and other gambling websites then you earn a lot of profit of it unlike gamblers it is another story of it. As a gambler it is not easy to earnn because you loose a lot annd a ton of money and if you cant manage your emotions and greediness then you loose pretty a lot.
690  Other / Off-topic / Re: use Bitcoin in daily life? on: October 16, 2016, 02:30:35 AM
I can exchange them fast and pay cash for my things
Yes.In place where bitcoin shops are not available,you can always convert them to your local currency or to USD and then USD to your local currency.This has opened many possibility for bitcoin users
But this adds lots of fees and every time you convert one currency to another you lose some money too and then you add banks fees as well, one of the purposes of bitcoins was to allow users to bypass fees.

The moment you convert your bitcoins the advantage of low fees is gone. And you are indeed better off by just buying it in fiat. Using a card helps but for me using bitcoin is mostly online, not as much as I wish I could but still i use it.
I think you will be benefited only if you are a gambling who regularly do gambling, like me since NBA has already started, I can actively spend my bitcoin in gambling and that is the major part of my spending online because I do not love to shop as well.
We can spend or coins not only in gambling, there are a lot of thing to buy with bitcoin, look at the services, goods and digital goods sections, you can buy videogames, gold precious stones, digital products, etc.


Agree! you can also convert or exchange it into yyour own fiat and buy some stuff in real life or you can also buy some online stuff that they accepts bitcoin as payment.! Though not all of the shops or online shops accepts bitcoin as payment but if you exchange it into yyour own fiat you can buy anything.
691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Many Millions of People Use Bitcoin? on: October 16, 2016, 02:28:33 AM
About 15-30 million given how many people join us from SE Asia, I'd say we have easily passed the 10million mark, but not all people are active users.

According to the chart shown below, only around 400k unique Bitcoin addresses are being used daily. On the one hand, an individual may have multiple addresses corresponding to a single wallet, while on the other, Bitcoin exchanges, for example, might have fewer addresses than the total number of their clients. In any case, we can assume that the number of active Bitcoin users roughly equals this figure, i.e. about 400k users. Surely, a far cry from millions claimed...



The chart is taken from here

Yes, that might be the case, although you have to see that most bitcoin users might trade their coins p2p, so you have to add up all exchanges + localbitcoins and other trading places.

So i'd say roughly 3 million active, and about 15 million in total who were active or are active but less active.

Even if it were 15 million worldwide, which it can't be, that's still sad considering Pokémon Go has 24 million unique daily users and it's just a game. The market cap for Bitcoin is only $10 billion. That's sad considering Walt Disneys cap is $147 billion and Coca Cola is $179 billion.

Give it time, those companies are 50+ years old, or even 100 I think.

Bitcoin is only 7 years old, what do you expect? It takes time to grow.

Pokémon Go is six months old and is only in the USA and has 24 million registered users daily. Bitcoin is world wide, is seven years old, can be used for purchases all over the web and a local game is beating it in popularity. WTF?  

Pokemon go is a game lot of users want to play that game because pokemon go is a world wide hit since we are child and we are still watching it thats why and bitcoin is a digital currency that child or young people aint interested on it. But bitcoin users are getting high and high over the years.
692  Other / Off-topic / Re: how bitcoin is popular in your country ? on: October 16, 2016, 02:25:04 AM
No one knows bitcoin in my country except few of them who are using it for gambling purpose and not trying to earn it in any other ways and in future if they don't have option to use it on gambling then they will stop using it.
yeah there are only a few groups just in my country knows about bitcoin, only a few people know about bitcoin, bitcoin is not too popular in my country

Same. Only few people know bitcoin in our country but right now it is getting popular so let see in the future what will happen but i do expect that most of the people know bitcoin and recognizes it as money and i do expect that we do have a shop here in our country that accepts bitcoin as payment.
693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: October 16, 2016, 02:18:05 AM
To play gambling smart, you need a lot of self-control and the ability to stop when you have got enough.
Self-control helps you in stopping when you lose and take more steps ahead to get the lost amounts back.
yes that is right and i think that is one of the most difficult rule in gambling to be follow. but if you limit your gambling then certainly you can minimize your risk of losing money in gambling.


Yes playing safe is the most effective strategy in gambling. Controling your funds and profit make it better to repel the lost of yours in gambling. Giving profit goal also makes you good in pursuing winning chance of your bet. Double or triple your bet sometimes if you lost in a row  makes you earn more in betting.

Controlling your bet is not saying that you are safe on any loosing streak in gambling but it reduces your loses. Gambling is there are no place that is safe any strategy loose and thing looses no one looses in gambling its just how you control your bets and money and also your emotions in loosing.
694  Other / Off-topic / Re: Currently, what's your way of generating Bitcoins? on: October 16, 2016, 02:01:37 AM
So, what about you guys? What's your "passive income", how are you mining bitcoins?
No, I am not into bitcoin mining. Because, I am well aware of bitcoin mining will not be profitable unless we are doing it in industry grade.

I just simply depending on signature campaigns to generate my bitcoins. I'm fully satisfied with my way of getting it. But I cannot call it as passive income, because I'm actively participating in this work for generating it.
Definitely mining would have been good but after the halving of Bitcoin it's turned out out unprofitable for small scale miners

And well after the halving a lot of "cloudmining services"ponzi, turned off  Roll Eyes
Big groups are mining all bitcoins, maybe altcoins is a goodway to mining solo.

Mining altcoin is good now a days and bitcoin is bad because it is hard to mine now unlike altcoins just pick the right altcoin then your hardwares and software then you are good to go. Because of the halving bitcoin is very difficult right now to mine unlike past few years it is easyy.
695  Other / Off-topic / Re: If i give you 10 BTC what will you do? on: October 15, 2016, 07:54:56 AM
just like other people i am also interested to hold it for the price increase, as it is expecting that the price of bitcoin is now going to increase in next few months therefore it will be good to hold bitcoin and not to invest it any where else. and with simply holding it we can even make good money.

Well that is what I am going to do and I will going to keep on holding it because I am still waiting for more price increase and I do believe that it will happen soon. And we can see that base on what is the fluctuation of bitcoins price, it is increasing a little by little. And after getting the right price, then I will going to sell it and going to think about a real business that I can build.

Holding  your bitcoin would  not be  a bad  idea hence you only  get the bitcoin  for free, as op said if  he gives us 10btc then  it  not really a regretting  thing  on what we  should do on that money because  we  dont have any risk on  lossing it all since its been giving for free only.

Yeah you are right sort of we got it for free then if ever it will loose something we dont loose any because it is free but sort of we do have that big amount of bitcoin then its just loose in a matter of second though we dont do effort on earning that but is something it hurts you a lot because that is really big!.
696  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why do you have Bitcoin? on: October 15, 2016, 07:46:12 AM
What is FOMO? Coud you tell me? i'm new here.

I hold btc because I strongly believe it's going up. Didn't buy drugs with it yet but it's not out of my plans  Grin


I have no clue what it means. But I do now why I hold bitcoin. For me it is being part f something big. Something historic. In time we will see how big bitcoin is, but for me it is already big. Just hoping for it to progress like it did, so one day it will be embedded.
Most of the people believe that bitcoin is going to be a great future investment and it's going to be future online currency, and it has been proven so now there are more and more people invest in bitcoin

Well im one of the people too because of i always thinking that you invest bitcoin right now and hold it for the future instances then it could make you earn a ton of profits out of it because now lot of people are investing and using bitcoin and bitcoin is getting famous all over the world.
697  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Skills vs Luck *poll* on: October 15, 2016, 07:43:29 AM
i think i will alway vote for luck. luck is the king and skill are the soldier , as soldiers can make the king more stronger, similarly skill can really make stronger the position of luck, as most of the people think that luck can be change by effort but to me effort cannot change the luck.

Problem is luck is just all made up. People from long ago dont believe in that. There is this only work and skill. If you rely too much on luck then you will also believe in a bad omen and so on. It just become traditional and passed on to generations.

Yeah! right! Rellying on luck makes you loose pretty a lot. Luck is not in yyour side forever like skill/talent you have as long as you enhancing it everyday unlike luck if you are lucky now then tomorrow your luck is gone and we dont know when it comes back to you.
698  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I grow my btc? on: October 15, 2016, 07:40:02 AM
Just do some nice signature campaigns and you will be done in no time because its easy and also nice to do if you are asking me.
I think its 100% profit you are making so that makes it even nicer,
Ths signature camp are not eligible for calling jobs because the payment is not enough and I think very small. I just like for call that only a bonuses for all of the users are active on this forum.
Maybe you are right because honestly that is not a big amount, we are just getting a small amount enough to enjoy our weekend if you campaign paid on a weekly or daily basis, but if you are good in managing your funds, you can take advantage on the opportunity here by growing your earnings in campaign if possible.

Agree Like investing your money into trading could make you a lot of profits or opportunity about earning more about it. Its just how well you manage and how wise you use your money enough to make it double or earn more about it. Trading is not of the best.
699  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has anyone ever lost bitcoins before? on: October 15, 2016, 07:37:56 AM
I have not lost bitcoin before but my friend has lost bitcoin before he has 2 coins in his wallet and the next day it was sent to an address not by him.
So either he got hacked online or he somehow slinged around his phone and got hacked like that.
Thats sad for you friend if you are not lossing bitcoin then you need to convinced you friend to secured his account never log into computer shops or any computer because sometimes they had key logger and do tell him. stop his activities if his doing gambling

He  had been definitely hacked by someone, and as you said  we  must  be aware and  cautious  on our actions regarding on opening  our wallet  on  public places   because  there are times that keyloggers are being installed  without  your awareness and could  able to hack your wallet and transfer funds immediately.
Yes key logger is everywhere in the computer shop maybe don't use another computer unless you checking it before you are going to use it some of computer shops are really had key logger on there computer and i think he forget to log out something like that so that ..

Agree we cant really know about the computers in the computer shop because we dont know they put something keylogger in that computer! We should be wise annd checking it before inputing those sensitive datas from us and for accounts.

I do not think that Bitcoin is going to die anytime soon right now because it is going to pretty good with Bitcoin at the moment I am still making some money.
I believe that Bitcoin is going to be around for times to come and it will not die yet.
the bitcoin ecosystem has been formed so well and strong , it wouldn't easy to make bitcoin taken down and die in the near future. but still there is a possibility this speculation happened as satoshi itself stated that bitcoin could be worthless or priceless all depends on its user.

We know that there is really a possibility that it will happy in the future w dont know why but it will . But for now it will not die just without a reason just die. So as long as bitcoin is still kicking then we should use it to earn more and learn more about it.
