I cant say that economy situation is good but I can say government is doing things to improve nicely.  Though expected fresh graduates didnt get a job easily, lack of job vacancy. So, unemployment become increasing yearly in my country. However, even this things happen, each one of us should do hard work and determination to achieve goals in life.
Well said my friend, I for example just graduate from college and I have decided to start working with the bitcoin instead of just going out there and looking for a job, because the normal employee in my country does not earn half the amount that I earn out of the internet, and this goes to show how bad the situation is not just in my country but most of the countries in the world.
6843  Economy / Economics / Re: 2016’s top cryptocurrencies + january 2017 on: February 08, 2017, 10:39:13 AM

Trumpcoin:

March 1 2016 : 160 sat.

January 15 2017 : 63462 sat.

An increase of 39563.75 % !! If those values are converted to dollars, the percentage increase is even higher.

That's the another shit coin, I won't be expecting a lot for the trump coin. It's fully with pump and dump. I don't ever seen an interesting innovation in there although  trump coin has based on the trump's hype. but in this time you know what's US feeling about trump.  Cool

The link the guy who started the thread posted shows cryptocurrencies in terms of how much their value increased, not in terms of which is superior technically. Trumpcoin's value since January 15 has plummeted but I think the creator foresaw this fad well. It may increase again in 4 years if Trump gets re-elected. Who knows? I'm sure there are cryptocurrencies out there that outperformed even Trumpcoin in 2016.
Well bitcoin has been growing a lot faster than any other currency out there, not just for the past few months but over the years, and I don’t think that trump’s coin is going to have a better rise rate, and probably by the end of his time it will go down, it is a cheap way to use his position to earn money and I am not finding any possibilities for its successes.

Dude, this is bitcoin. It is not same with any other kind of investment. There is nothing is too late to buy and hold bitcoin. Just because when you come to invest and the price is too high according to you, it's not the real reason to not invest on it. In 2011 the price is under $500 and at that time the price is too high for someone who new to this. If you know what I mean.

Nothing too late to buy and too late to hold because we are all thinking that bitcoins would run for decades or even centuries. We all see bitcoin as a long term investment instead of a bubble. To me, all types of investment is a bubble that can pop at any given time.

You might be able to think that you're going to live long and treat bitcoin as a long term investment but I really think that it's all about timing. Those people that bought bitcoins back then at 1,200$, they are all still waiting for the price to go higher than that so they can finally sell their coins. They might be thinking that the price is going high at that point so it must continue going high. This is the illusion that the concept of ATH has given us. In reality, everything that goes up will eventually go down. It will go down hard.
Bitcoin must be the best way to earn fast profit, deciding to buy bitcoin is already and investment in itself, if you buy at a low price you have the opportunity to make profit when the price goes up again, since the bitcoin price is not that stable means that it goes up and down relatively in a decent time that allows you to buy at a low price and sell at a higher one.

I heard that Starbucks already started to accept bitcoin as payment. I don't imagine how it work exactly, because of I have no place here that would accept bitcoin. But I think such transactions in place that work with bitcoin all operations provided as fast as with a card.

If all starbucks outlet in the whole world will accepted bitcoin all coffee drinkers who are addicted in coffee will become familiar with bitcoin for sure, even the uneducated person will become curious about it because they will see some of their co-customer are buying via bitcoin. Once they start asking about in bitcoin that's the beginning to get their interest. Which is not impossible to be happen, cheers!
It is true but not Starbucks only, but other popular and big companies if they start adopting bitcoin as a payment method many people will start using it and it will become more popular, especially when it comes to the things that people use every day like restaurants MacDonald for example. If walmart starts accepts then we can see a new revolutions.
6846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is no "proper" price for bitcoin on: February 08, 2017, 07:16:58 AM
Whoa! Thank God there is something to agree with. I love the fact that it was said "Bitcoin is a imagined community". It is true. It had no physical thing but still it works. Why is that? Maybe that could ecplain why no one here could really predict what price will be the next one.
Yes you could go near the prediction but still there is no basis for that. All of it are mere guess which will not be backed up by any facts.
True, the fact that bitcoin has no physical existence and it is limited when it comes to the resources and people are coming in every day means that the user base is getting bigger which means that the price is going to keep on rising, for bitcoin the sky is the limit and we can never really know what the price is going to reach.
6847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 65,000+ Unconfirmed Transactions, Why? on: February 08, 2017, 06:39:41 AM

I would like to ask the experts that why this is happening again and again?
Simple: Bitcoin is the victim of its popularity and we're reaching a point where the total weight of all transactions is such that blocks are full. That happens indirectly when the number of transactions increase, which in turn happens when new users join the bitcoin club.
From this point on there are three solutions: (1) either you're satisfied with the current situation and you accept to pay higher fees without doing anything (said fees will get higher and higher as new users arrive, until the point where they will be so high that no new users will join anymore, and then they'll reach a high and stabilize but there's no saying where and when this will happen), either (2) you join the big blocks club, or (3) you support segwit and the lightning network. Pick your side but pick wisely: each of them have their lot of downsides and advantages.

I personally advise against choice #2 as a hard fork would be disastrous for the unity of the network. We've recently had a glimpse of what would happen in case of a hard fork when one of them happened between ETH and ETC. Since it's happened most big blocks supporters seem to have stopped supporting them too. I mean, it would be open warfare between BTC and its fork and I'm sure that as an investor you and your money don't want to be caught in such an apocalypse. Also, as blocks would get bigger, security concerns would arise.
Totally true, with the bitcoin becoming higher in price and people are coming in everyday that only means more transaction and more traffic which means more work for the miners, that is why it is why the transactions take time to get confirmed if you want to ensure the transaction reaches fast you have to pay fees.
6848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts for Bitcoin in 2017? on: February 08, 2017, 05:22:37 AM
I guess bitcoin this 2017 will become more popular compare last year, its my thought anyway only. Maybe because bitcoin nowadays is very trend in online technology, so many of the people became curious about it.

Of course it will because that will make more people encourage to use bitcoin upon seeing its price. And I am very sure that many will look to bitcoins opportunity and will aim for more success in bitcoin because it can make their lives wealthier and they will be more inspired upon knowing that there are people who became rich with it already.
No doubt that the bitcoin is something that brings to much things to the table and make the lives of people easier gives them the opportunity to earn money online, and I think in 2017 that the bitcoin is going to get more popular and become used like PayPal or any other payment method, which will make its price higher.
6849  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make governments accept bitcoin? on: February 07, 2017, 09:27:47 PM
Governments are not going to be the people that want to accept bitcoin in the least as it's in the best interest to keep their fiat currency rolling and churning. Bitcoin is a nuisance to countries as they have to go ahead and pass regulations and such relating to it.

The only way to make them accept bitcoin is to force them into that relationship.
I think it's obvious that it will be very difficult to do this. especially if the government forced to accept bitcoi of course it would be detrimental to the government itself. so this will be an issue that will be long resolved

Rather than thinking about the ways to get the governments to accept Bitcoin, we should think about the ways for different companies and brands to accept it as a payment gateway or get more people into mining Bitcoin. That way, the popularity and the usability both will be increased and it will make a good future for the Bitcoin.  Smiley
If companies and brands accept Bitcoin, it will be easily used in the physical world. The government, however, does not like Bitcoin at all since they can not collect tax from the BItcoin users. Companies and brands are more likely to use Bitcoin because they can obtain the advantages from its technologies. Therefore, persuading companies will bring us more success
Agreed, even if many companies use bitcoin and accept as a payment method still governments will not accept as a legal currency, and the only way for them to accept it as so is to let them control it and like you said let them apply taxes on it which we don’t want because it means that we have to deify the main idea of the bitcoin, so it is better off like this.

I am always working with pivot point analysis for daily levels on bitcoin intraday trading. I am aware of candle stick recognization and interpretation with different moving ravage and its meaning of cross overs also get me accurate predicting capabilities. But most of my trades are highly depends on pivot point analysis's support and resistance levels.
6851  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bot Softwares for Trading on: February 07, 2017, 08:15:27 PM

I was interest to buy but I don't see proofs of how profitable their bots are. Is there anyone who sells their bots and has succeesfully tried to create a video on how it works live on some exchange like polo?

If its truly working hundred percent that they win more than 70% of its entry, the creator could be earning more if he shows a viseo of it wining a trade.
Never invest in this type of trading supporting things unless otherwise you will be having some solid proof on its performance for consistently profit making. Otherwise it will sum up again your trading losses to some extent. Personally I never prefer for any trading bots as I am completely satisfied with my manual trading performances.
6852  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE CASINO - CONGRATULATIONS TO WONTON FOR WINNING 300BTC on: February 07, 2017, 07:39:56 PM
i lost 1 btc at the old edition ,  it was very hard to win and no provably fair as now

It is just another losers who cant afford to lose their money on gambling then start to scream that the site is not provably fair or cheating players. If there is an easy way to win on gambling then there will be no gambling sites exist for long time.
People do forget about chances of accusing a gambling site without playing and losing with them. I just want to ask them they will complain if they had profited 1 bitcoins? Definitely no. Losers will always complain. There are lot of chances to check about provably fair system, there is no need to experience 1 bitcoin losses to check it.
6853  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I educate myself on bitcoin for investing? on: February 07, 2017, 05:47:31 PM
I've also found it hard to find credible information about earning more bitcoin and growing them.
Like any other opportunity, bitcoin investing is also coming with huge risk levels all the times.
So it would be very rare to find credible information about bitcoin investment opportunities. The better practice must be investing with your skills, yes working for yourself would be the right way for growing your bitcoins.
6854  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it still worth it to trade? on: February 07, 2017, 08:35:52 AM
of course it is still well worth. if you do a trade and see that its activity decreases, does not mean we should stop. it may just not yet. Well, in some time, it must go back to normal. Well, I think it is often the case.
But I believe we never worry about the fluctuations and activity of traders will get diminished in any near future as more number of new traders and investors are coming into bitcoin system now a days.

Some traders are worrying about the huge price levels of bitcoin right now is having, but one of the phenomenon of traders must be any price would be the right price to enter into market, because market will be having unlimited growth to fetch you the required profits for you. It is highly true with bitcoin trading too.
6855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: February 06, 2017, 08:23:17 PM
If you have a big bankroll, invest in a house is always the best solution. For small bankroll, gambling is the better way to make money, it is all about all-in or nothing.
Thats wrong, its not about your bankroll its about how important that bankroll to you. For some people 1 bitcoin is a big bankroll and more than their monthly salary which means they should not gamble that much and just invest it, not even invest but withdraw it possibly. For some people 1 bitcoin is nothing and they can lose it anytime they want and not feel bad about it.

So its all subjective, depending how important you feel about your bankroll. I have seen people losing couple hundred bitcoins on betting but they felt alright because they are bitcoin rich early bird people, if you are like that than go for it.
6856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: February 06, 2017, 07:50:39 PM
When do you stop? Do you have a daily limit or something?
I stop when I feel like the money I have in my hand is enough for something.
I usually gamble with faucets and small changes and signature campaign type of Money and if I lose that its all good but if I make it into a type of value that it can be usefull in my life than I stop playing withdraw the Money and pay for something.
6857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: February 06, 2017, 07:00:33 PM
I personally never invested in any gambling site as a bankroll so no such experience so far. But i have seen people investing in them and for sure the capital you are talking about is absolutely not in count. Because people with 1 or more than that bitcoins may earn some profits if the sites profits are in positive for that period of time, but if someone invested just 10$ in it then he might even don't get 0.1$ out of that.
Yes it is obvious, if we invest more, we will be getting decent profits. Still I do not find the any wrong in doing small investment because in long-term small and investment also will be fetching some decent profits. Only the time period will be differing. I always prefer small investment as it will reduce the risks with the one gambling house I will be taking.
6858  Economy / Economics / Re: What Will it Take For BTC to Reach $1000? on: February 06, 2017, 03:54:30 PM
current price looks will continue to rise, probably one of the main causes is the Chinese new year. We all know that largest owners of the bitcoin is the China, when they sold when Chinese new year needs hence it costs down, and now they are starting to buy more so much will bitcoin continues to rise. I'm sure the price of $1.500 will be easily accomplished in 3 months.
Still you are finding some other reason which is related to China again for bitcoin's recent price upsurge.
But this time bitcoin showed very slow and steady appreciation which was answering many experts who are all doubting about bitcoin's potential and its pump scenarios.

I am also hoping bitcoin will sustain above $1000 in upcoming days for the leap toward $2000 price levels.
6859  Economy / Economics / Re: Spending Bitcoins on: February 06, 2017, 02:34:55 PM
I agree with you,in order to increase bitcoin popularity,price and volume we need to get more businesses to accept it as a payment method. In my city I don't think there are any shops that adopted it. But the good part is that I see more and more bitcoin ATMs being installed in almost every neighbourhood.
Bitcoin ATM's a great to help get a bit of public awareness and help a few people get there first coins but the markup some of these machines charge for the convenience means that most people soon either stop using bitcoin or get more involved and find an exchange to purchase btc from.

Yeah it is a great thing if some country implement this bitcoin ATM but are you sure that many peolle holding their btc a lot enough to spend it on real life? May be for some people that have good amount is great but for others? What do you think if they have some fee on withdrawing it? Instead of giving some interest like usual bank, I think they will put some higher fee when we withdraw from their ATM
The bitcoin ATMs are not from usual banks so there would be no interest provisions from these banks for the account holders.

They are just a way to spend bitcoins easily. When we are having more number of bitcoin accepting merchants, there will be less significance and requirement for bitcoin ATMs. But as of now bitcoin ATMs work as free advertisements for bitcoin ecosystem.
6860  Economy / Economics / Re: First investments in bitcoins on: February 06, 2017, 12:43:38 PM
What do you think about investment in some bitcoins at this high Price ? Thanks guys
When you are considering about future prices of bitcoins, this is not a high price to invest into bitcoins. There will be lot of potential bitcoin have to unveil in upcoming days. The only requirement bitcoin yet to get is mass adoption if you start initializing that from now onward, then more people may follow you. Just remember, bitcoin may have millions of dollar value in near future. So, $1000 is not really a high price.
