I like paper money. I like to feel the buying power in my hands :p Bitcoin makes me feel like a robot. I am not saying paper money is better tho.

I also like to feel paper money in my hands, not virtual ones. Virtual do not bring such pleasure, they can not be touched and sniffed.
although you say feel more comfortable to use paper money but if the store no longer accept paper money. what would you do ? I think the era inevitably change. and everyone should follow it
I think it would be better to have both, there are stores that accepts bitcoin but I'm sure they will accept fiat also but most of the stores only accepts fiat. That shows how popular and strong fiat is, it has the confidence of the majority and bitcoin will only remain being used by the minority of population in this world, having said that the future is paper money is still good and will continue to be popular.

You already can see now that Bitcoin is already used all over the world and that is nice and I also think that the value of Bitcoin is rising slowly now so that is really nice.
But it will be really hard to know what the value will be later but it is nice if it will be more popular and used.
No, bitcoin is not being used all over the world, but can be use of all people citizens in all globally. But prediction was only a guess which has no accurate or assurance that it will happen.  Wink

Yeah we cannot expect that each and every person will start using bitcoins in future as there will be many people who will prefer to stay away from bitcoins and continue with fiat currency so its hard to believe that bitcoin can ever become a global currency.
I'm pretty sure the volume of people who would prefer to use fiat is bigger than bitcoin users, we do not need to sacrifice one another as both can be useful to our life. Bitcoin was solely created to aid the slow transactions of fiat and now that it is widely recognize, we have to take the benefits of using it. It is not solely for investment as others think, it's created to be spent and we will only make profit from our investment if the demand will continue to increase.
6843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: March 18, 2017, 10:55:04 PM
Sometimes for profits and some times for fun but most of the times I gamble to make profits as I need to money to take care of my expenses and gambling is the only way to make quick money.
We gamble to win, so probably that would already mean we do it for profit. Though it's hard to win but getting the profit when we are lucky gives extraordinary feeling of fulfillment, that is because it does not happen all the time so when we win we like to take the opportunity to enjoy our profit.
Those who gamble as business is another level in gambling and most of us are not professionals, we do not track our full record but only remember our  winning moment.

I miss betting in your site as there's plenty of odds with different games, but your sportsbook was down for a long period of time and I hope this time around it will be fully operational. Actually I haven't check it yet, if not because of your update I wouldn't know it's up now.

Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?
savings was the best things you can do compare to investing it online. There is big risky when you invest unlike when you buy bitcoin then hold and wait until the price increase at the higher value before selling our holdings.
Saving is actually good and a wise decision because in time you are in need you have savings to turn on to but for me and in my experience if you are not content or want to grow more your money its not bad to invest. although investing has risk it can also be a great way to get more from your money, but like others said it is risky and not everyone are ready for that consequences.
That's right, we save to ensure that we have something to spend in times of need in the future, not only that we also want to consider our savings as our capital for future investment plan. Nobody get rich of being just an employee, as a human we do not have satisfaction in life and we will risk most of the time to get what we want, I believe we can do that by investing here and since bitcoin is still new and lots of potential on it, we have to do what we feel is right.
6846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin 20 Years From Now on: March 18, 2017, 12:46:36 PM
no one knows future, bitcoin can grow up or dead. if bitcoin grow up until in 20 years for now, of course,bitcoin become a super currency. but bitcoin can disappear if the countries of the world make a rule which makes bitcoin disappear.
no one can prediction bitcoin the future.
20 years is too long and its hard to predict but if bitcoin is still alive in 20 years, I think it would become the new currency. It may also accepted in any store or any kind of transaction. But bitcoin can be dissapear when the value of it is continued to decreased or if it is banned in large country such as USA, China, etc. But just like I said it's hard to predict on what will happen in bitcoin in incoming future.
Nope,it wont be dead even if the largest country would banned it since bitcoin can free transact without depending on those countries if its being separated with USD there are still some currencies which do will surely make ties with it.20 years is really to long to predict on what would the possible things might happen.
That's for sure, bitcoin is decentralized and it was created by an anonymous person, the government could ban this but we know how big our support bitcoin and since it's only, everything is possible and we can make ways to continue the progress. I never think we will ever surpass the popularity of fiat because I'm already convince that are going to the successful path to be the leading only currency in the future.
6847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin money? on: March 15, 2017, 09:08:10 AM
bitcoin is cryptocurrency which has a price and rate in almost all currencies of the world and you can use bitcoin to buy stuff, I think it has been proven that bitcoin is money
Not that way, bitcoin has no value without money or fiat therefore it's not money. It is only a tool we can use to make a faster transaction online, a payment system is more appropriate way to call it. Normally money is subject to inflation but bitcoin is not, the longer it is use and in demand the value of bitcoin increases.
6848  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin benefit of saving for a long time? on: March 15, 2017, 07:42:36 AM
why so many people store their bitcoin in their wallet for a long time, whether the benefits will they get?

Come share your thoughts


There stored it because this is their belief into bitcoin, where someday it can give them a big savings in the near future on which once the price value meet the highest or peak value they can sell their holdings to get their rewards of waiting for That's on this long term basis it needs patience actually.
It's appropriate to call it as investment because possibilities to lose is still there, regardless on how many number of bitcoins you are holding in the future but if the price will fall, it will still not be worthy. This is an investment that we believe will give us great return as we are basing on the past result, we've seen the success and fall of bitcoin but still we are optimistic, hope our faith in bitcoin will pay off at the right time.
6849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: March 15, 2017, 07:12:47 AM
I think this is impossible, and you should not do it. We should not put ourselves at risk. Any strategy or method has a flaw. We can not do the perfect thing, that is the law of life. And when you put yourself into gambling, do you think you are putting yourself in luck or bad luck? You can make a lot of money every day, however you can lose everything in seconds. Be careful about it, a steady job is always better than gambling.
No question stable job is always better than gambling as it can guarantee you an income compared to gambling where most gamblers are losing their money. I just need to say that our expectation in gambling is not all about the money or the reward but mostly the fun that we get while gambling.
The fun along is already worth of the money you spend if you know how to control the risk of losing more than you cannot afford and prevent yourself from being addicted.
6850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: March 15, 2017, 05:52:22 AM
If money was no issue i would 100% still gamble just for fun though cause gambling can be fun when your not trying to kill the casino
Me too I will gamble too but sometimes I will buy some my wants in my life.
Gambling is fun especially in casino with my co worker and my friends.

Yeah, Gambling can definitely be a good source of entertainment. Money on the line does make it a bit more exciting though lol.
The bigger you bet the more you'll be excited, lol, I have experience that kind of feeling and that is really sucks when you lose. Anyway that was me, I'm not rich so I have that kind of intense feeling when I gamble. However, if time will come that money is not my problem anymore, I guess the thrill in gambling will be lessen since I will not feel the risk of losing a big amount of money anymore and I'm sure I will have something that I will be focusing my time with.
6851  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no competition on: March 15, 2017, 05:24:54 AM
it may take some time but there will be, either Eth or DASH will soon rise you to compete BTC with almost same price. the crypto market has been exposed to people who are looking for investment through the help of SEC and now they are gathering as much as they can. prices will soon rise.

I don't think so this will happen in next 5 years, Dash has tedency to increase their price but to compete bitcoin it take a long time. Replacement of bitcoin is possible but not as easy as you think, bitcoin will give tough time to one who wants to replace bitcoin.
It's not even happening, bitcoin is more stronger than Dash and it's obvious when you compare the value and the number of people adopting it. Bitcoin is still the most dominant crypto currency and will continue be the number one because we are supporting it. There are whales who are holding a big volume of bitcoins and they will not allow any crypto currency to surpass the popularity of bitcoin. Also, if you check on the services online especially the gambling sites, most of them are using bitcoin while only small number of sites are accepting altcoins at the same time.
6852  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin benefit of saving for a long time? on: March 14, 2017, 07:34:24 AM
big benefits if you have big amount of bitcoin in your wallet. all we know that bitcoin has a bright future that we can take advantage now until the value of bitcoin is affordable.
Well if you have the capacity to buy a lot of bitcoins then that would be better, that would only show that you trust bitcoin as you are willing to risk a bigger amount. However, most of us has no capacity to do that, we are just ordinary people earning a minimum amount of money for our daily expenses and that is why I see bitcoin as investment that has a good potential to change our life in the future due to our ambition to live a comfortable life. This will benefit our future if we believe, so as early as now it's good to start saving already even a certain portion of our income only.
6853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What type of sports you love in sports betting and why? on: March 14, 2017, 05:27:03 AM
My favorite sport is basketball and foot ball but I'm focusing right now with the season and series of NBA and as well as local basketball here in my country. I'm just a simple fan of basketball because it's very popular here in my country and it was my child hood favorite game. Every morning I use to play basketball and copying moves from my favorite nba players.

It is better for you to choose that sports where you have a interest.
But i want to ask Do you play in sports betting and how much time you win in basketball?
because you winning betting shows your interest or skills.
I mean i like to watch and to play cricket and i always do betting in matches, that's why i know to win in sports betting, and many time i won.     

Yes I will stick with my favorite sports now which is basketball when it comes to sports betting but when it comes to watching TV. Of course I keep on watching foot ball match as I just can't resist it. I would love always to watch those favorite games of mine. And there are times that I want to give my full support to my favorite teams by betting higher amount.
That gives additional fun when you are watching games while you are betting, I like to bet on games especially in live betting because I can tell which team is playing hard. Live betting gives value to bettors because you can analyze your bet as well and there are different lines to choose from.
When I bet on before the game, I can only get the odds like 1.90 as an equal chance of winning but with live I can have it like 2.00 and up.
6854  Economy / Economics / Re: Build a Bank Of Bitcoin on: March 14, 2017, 05:05:36 AM
I dont think it will be a great idea because we will not remain anonymous while using bitcoin for transaction because we will have to provide bank with our ID and also there's no guarantee that government will not interfere in the work of bank
yes i also think so that it is a good idea. as to me i am good with online wallet and if the bitcoin banks will introduce i think i will never feel the need to use it as i am good with online wallets.
I don't know why bitcoin bank is still needed when exchange sites are already here to be considered as our bank. For me it's safer to us even if we do not have the insurance like in real bank, our information is vital and we are not monitored by the government using online wallet only.
Bitcoin bank will defeat the purpose of bitcoin as it is created to do banking without the need of a bank.
6855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: March 14, 2017, 03:48:06 AM
Clippers @ Jazz:
Tonight, expect both teams to go head to head with the victory, as neither team has room for margin going into the last stretch of the season. With just about a month remaining on the season, both teams have to seal up their season with plenty more victories in order to advance to the playoffs. With a much better offense, take the Clippers to take the victory and even out their records with their rivals.
Rudy Gobert seems to be out injured and is a game time decision. If he doesnt play, I think Clippers have a great chance of winning the match. Clippers with all their players fit and playing good team basketball should be finding it easy in the paint against Jazz. If they keep Hayward quiet it will be an easy win for them.

According to ESPN there are no injuries reported for Utah Jazz and Clippers have only Diamond Stone out, but I don`t think it will make much of a difference. Right now the odds are even for both teams, so no favorite so far
Oh! I was checking http://www.rotowire.com/basketball/nba_lineups.htm . This is my go to site to check lineups and it is generally accurate but does get it wrong sometimes. If Gobert and Derrick Favors does play, I think it will be a close affair but Clippers might still edge it.
Gobert played actually and that is a good team because they won the game, Jazz are getting better now and this time they can secure a spot in the playoffs. The addition of Jonhson was for me a great move, another veteran that could make a good decision when needed especially in crunch time.
I'm happy today because I was able to take the Utah Jazz at home and the line seems very reasonable for me to get tempted.
6856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: March 13, 2017, 08:43:12 AM
Lakers seemed to have some ambition in building their team back a couple of years back but now it seems as if they have stopped pursuing their dream of being a top competitive team in the NBA. They are dead last in the Western Conference and their players show no passion to win a game. Last night they played against 76ers and cane to a point where they were leading in the last 2 mins, but they just coudnt play defense against a weak 76ers side. Not taking away the fact that Dario Šarić had an amazing game with 29points, 7 rebs, 5 assists, 2 stl, 1 block.

Lakers seems to have a very bad fate with this season but I don't consider them as dead. They just need to improve more and have the right chemistry on the court.

As a matter of fact, I don't consider 76ers as a strong team and too bad that they lost on that team.

It was a very close fight, building up the old LAkers I guess is not even possible now.
Lakers had their chance to win this game but it seems like the Sixers are a better team tonight, for this season the Sixers have showed more improvement though they are still the worst team in the league. Honestly, I go large with the Lakers tonight thinking that they have the advantage
as they are playing at home but I was wrong.

I believe Suns are a better team than the Sixers and they beat the suns on the road while not able to handle the Sixers as home. They need a break...
6857  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: March 13, 2017, 08:00:27 AM
First and foremost, fiat is already doomed since banks are doing their QE shit for quite awhile now just to hold things together and keep things afloat for the mean time. They started doing this way back 2008 since the financial crisis started. Idk how long would they keep on doing it but I know for a fact that that wouldn't hold for a long time and somehow, something's got to give lol. Bitcoin on the other hand is free from these type of scams and whatnot plus it has a potential to increase in value when everything else fails to do so.
They say bitcoin can be manipulated as there are whales who has the capacity to do that but we failed to see the reality in the fiat system, the government is more powerful than bitcoin and they have all the power to manipulate the people which they are doing already.

If you have seen news like corrupt officials, they are the people who are making this fiat system unfavorable for us, the value decreases due to inflation and that is because of them for failure to fun the economy in a progressive way. Bitcoin gives us the option to transfer our fiat and treat this as investment, we should not let the government take our freedom to do it, it's for our future and for the humanity.
6858  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE CASINO - CONGRATULATIONS TO WONTON FOR WINNING 300BTC on: March 13, 2017, 07:10:26 AM
There was a nice sized win of 100btc on 2x earlier nearing the max profit. What a sight to see and congrats to the user who won it!


What a damn lucky player, too bad we dont know who is the player as it is hidden. When a player set his username to be hidden means that only Alex knows who is he, right?
If I have to guess then I think this player is wonton.. Smiley
Wonton can change his name if he prefers and we will never know if Alex will not update us because it's their job as well to protect the identity of players especially the high roller. I could not won that amount because I do not have 100 BTC, just a big money, this guys really a big risk taker.
6859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: March 13, 2017, 04:13:18 AM
There is no need for using analysis for every gambling game we play. I use analysis only in sports, when I play poker each hand is new set of cards, in slots you just spin the wheel and after x number of loses you rise bets, but point is that there is no need for analysing previous results.
It's how I see the gambling, and my strategy is based on this point of view.


What you said is correct because not all games need to analyse before playing. But even with those knowledge-based games, it is quite hard to win just based on analysis because we also need some luck to support our analysis. Gambling is full of uncertain things and most of the time you will see unexpected results so one should need a luck to win money in gambling.
It's every gambler's job to do analysis when gambling, even what type of gambling games you are making, you have your mind and you need to use it to turn things in your favor. Luck is vital but that's is not something you can learn and develop, it will come at times you are not expecting hence it will not give a guarantee to win in the long run. Believe me, it's very fulfilling when you learn how to analyze games because that means you have matured.
6860  Economy / Economics / Re: Which one is good, trading or investing? on: March 13, 2017, 03:23:50 AM
It depends on the situation
For example if you are confident enough that investing into a service will surely make some profit then i would suggest go for it.
And if you don't have any then trading is a good idea
Not from the situation but from our analyzation, to determine the correct place to get into that place. and we must do a lot of the analyzation on the early stage. I think everyone should be done it.
Things will be easier if you are confident of what you are doing, also if you love it you will spend time to learn and master it.
Trading and investing are both good as there are people who made a fortune in doing it, therefore it's not impossible for us to go on the same path as this people is going. It's all about your passion and your will to success, a person who would devote his time has more chance of success and this is better than working and receive a paycheck as in investment and trading, it offer great opportunity for everyone to earn a decent amount.
