It's outdated thread, but you can see not only lost bitcoin, but also Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks and Scams at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=576337
Next time you better do quick search because i find it less than a minute Smiley
It is indeed outdated but somehow a good reference if you are really serious on compiling up on this kind of thing but generally speaking about list of lost bitcoin wallet address I guess it would really be a tough job since knowing that there are things that do happen without the notice of community specially on smaller scale of lost bitcoin but if we are talking about big stolen funds then we would really be able to aware on that one. This is why its somehow hard to pile a list on this one.
7022  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: August 20, 2017, 09:31:15 AM
addiction gambler is on wrong way unhealthy of looking at money and life, they have a mistake about two things. Then, for cessation must start from his mind. Busied yourself by doing different things than usual, or looking new acquaintances out there might help to reduce the temptation of mind to gamble. Slowly but surely you can quit from gambling addiction.

it is unhealthy because for someone like me that is addicted. I spend alot of time playing, atleast for 1 hour most of the day. Whenever I dont play, I keep thinking about it, I used to play for hours but I have changed into a better person these days. I only gamble to have fun with controlled amount whenever I play
I think 1 hour day isn't really bad at all compared to those some gamblers who do spent almost 5-10 hours depending on the game which they are playing. There comes to a point when I got addicted on gambling because it did affect my financial state already and later on I realize that I am already doing the wrong thing and I don't want to mess up my life because of gambling.
7023  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin benefit of saving for a long time? on: August 20, 2017, 06:13:13 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

Saving your bitcoin in a long period of time can benefit you in the future. So keep your bitcoin in your wallet for a long period time because we cannot say if tomorrow's the value of the bitcoin increases very high. It's better to save your bitcoin than waste it.
Bitcoin if you saved for a long time you can saved a big bitcoin for not to pay it in other store.
How about on bitcoins price might decrease tomorrow? We cant assume anytime that the price would really go together with our expectations we should not really forget the risk behind it and how price volatility works. Bitcoin saving is really a good habit since we can see that prices do soar up high and I would recommend this thing for those who earn bitcoin without the need on pulling up money on their pocket but for those people who do make use of their local fiat exchange to bitcoin we should only put on the amount that we can afford to lose up.
7024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: August 20, 2017, 04:45:10 AM
A combination of both. Most of the time, I play just to get away from the stress of the real world. But sometimes when I don't have any option to get some change.

Playing for fun, relieving stress and just doing something to get out of boredom is the very few reasons of the gamblers here why they gamble. But include me to those people that is gambling only for profit, fun is just a second thought because it's funnier when you had won a lot and you'll use that money for buying things you need/want.

At the end of the day, it will depend on each individuals preference - whether gambling is good for them or not. I have friends who are really doing well with  gambling and they are earning in fact, they are almost in the high rollers most of the time but I have several friends as well that are not really making money with gambling.
We have to respect whatever our reasons as for sure everyone has their own goal why they are gambling but I am pretty sure most gamblers are doing it for fun because they are smart and they understand that the risk is bigger if we will take it seriously. It's pretty evident that gambling industry is among the most profitable industry in the world and they are growing in a fast pace, thanks to bitcoin and the crypto world as well for giving a good contribution.
This is why gambling industry is booming up because of Bitcoin and yes it does really contribute big into it and for those casino owners would really have the advantage on making profits. We do have different reasons on why we do play gambling but mostly people do this because on the sake on making money and that's the reality on most players on the industry but there are some who do really just play for purely fun.
7025  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Still Go Up? on: August 20, 2017, 04:26:29 AM
Now that it's been proven there are many other alternatives to Bitcoin which have advantages such as quicker transactions, smaller fees, and higher mining profitability, I don't see a reason to think Bitcoin will get to $10,000.

Will the price of Bitcoin still go up? It seems so outdated when compared to its competitors.
Agreed, there are lots of coins as of now on which I has a great feature compared to bitcoin but the basic thing on which Bitcoin do have still remains strong on which the community still love to engage with it. Altcoins would really just remain as an alternative and theres no chance that they can surpass bitcoin speaking of mass adoption but well we cant say such thing because no one really knows on whats ahead.
7026  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will it fall? on: August 18, 2017, 03:45:13 PM
It's been on a high lately, and I would've guessed that it would've fell already, but it keeps climbing. When will it fall? When should we sell? Or should we hold through the next fall?
what comes up must come down.

Yeah, what comes up must come down for us to buy more cheaper coins  Grin. No one really knows on when the price would go down and expectations would really be there price corrections would happen but for now we are stabilizing on 4200-4400 range and cant able to breakout that 4500 resistance. Just have patience we would really see the price of bitcoin to go down its price, for now you should be attentive on when to sell out.
7027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can you tell if you are suffering from gambling addiction? on: August 18, 2017, 03:12:23 PM
When the person prioritize gambling over all important things then that is the first sign of addiction and when you asked him and he said his hobby is gambling then that person is already addicted, if the person spend a lot of time gambling, don't really care about eating or sleeping then that person is absolutely addicted
When somebody said about gambling is his habit then its definitely hes an addicted gambler knowing spending longer times on gambling will really make you a gambling addict anytime soon and as you have said if someone do already prioritize gambling rather than on other important things then that addiction is already severe since his mind don't know on what is right and wrong.
Habit is different, and addiction is different. Habit means they can play gambling whenever they want, and addiction means spending more time in gambling. There are some gamblers they will play gambling daily but not spend more time and not spend more money. How much they can afford that much money they can play this we can not call it an addiction.
Heres one: definition of habit: (a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.). Its different on the thing you have said and if you do make read on the definition you can still consider habit is nearly on addiction phase knowing that you are playing gambling on regular basis.
7028  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't Spend Too Much Time Trading? is that true? on: August 18, 2017, 02:09:39 PM
i'm one who spend too much time for trading. I made so many stupid mistakes because of thinking emotionally instead of logically. Cry
what is your opinion?

In trading you need to control your emotions because once it overtook you then you are bound to lose because you are not rational with your decisions. Since you are still new in trading, you should spend more time to have the experience necessary to be able to trade without the hindrance of your emotions because you can fully control it when you practice consistently. You can develop your own trading strategy and will know what aspects you need to strengthen to have a profitable trading.
Experience and Knowledge would really mold up along the way if we do make trading for longer periods of time and engaging with it simultaneously and as being said we would able to enhance our skills and at the same time that emotion that do affects us when we are still newbie would already be controlled.It really takes time and we should not really be in a hurry to make good trades there are lots of factors will surely affect you along the way.
7029  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should focus more on saving bitcoins than selling your bitcoins on: August 18, 2017, 01:25:40 PM
Bitcoin has become the world most valuable asset and the value keeps going higher!

Why not we should focus on saving more bitcoins than selling our last remaining bitcoins?

I read and hear from a lot of guys owning bitcoin saying, should I sell my bitcoins?

The issues is, if you sell all your bitcoins when are you going to buy at lower price?

There's no guarantee when exactly bitcoin price will surely come down.

Share your thoughts about what you think guys. Smiley
Depending on what kind of bitcoin user you are. Some may say that hodling would be the best move since bitcoins price continuous to rise up its price but some do have another way on earning more bitcoin on which on the way of trading.Selling high buying low is really a good way too on maximizing on the bitcoins you would able potentially to earn. Some may cash-out their coins because we do have different priorities in life.

7031  Economy / Economics / Re: Will you tech me please, What is ICO? on: August 17, 2017, 04:07:23 PM
Hello, everyone. I have some knowledge about ICO. But I want to know everything about ICO. Will you please teach me What is ICO? I don't want to know the Full meaning of ICO. I want to know details of ICO.

Advanced Thanks a lot, all of you who will comment here Cool
Quiet odd for a Senior Member to ask about on what is ICO but well I would answer you.. ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is one of the ways of the devs on scamming people  Grin This sounds funny but this is the reality because having ICO would really make them money and some of them end up on scamming people. This ICO works as a crowdfunding on a certain project.
7032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: August 17, 2017, 03:21:20 PM
I think that the worst mistake to do when you gamble is trying to make big profits in short period of time. Wining in gamble comes with smart moves and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Being greedy will only lead to one result; an empty bankroll.
perfect moment to strike , it's just part of superstition i think. you can't really rely or believe on something like that to get luck and win. greedy aren't the only one thing that worst . people too early say that , while there is worse thing more than that. it's when you have a lot of debts because of gambling and you can't survive to pay it all then decide to end your beautiful life terribly.
Expect the unexpected if you do make yourself engage too much on gambling. You are right it would really make our life miserable and terrible. Greediness is always been part on a human being and it would normally came out when we do play gambling. Worst mistake if we did let ourselves to be caught by addiction because once you have been hooked up for sure it will really affect your life.
7033  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Just doubled my investment on: August 16, 2017, 01:35:24 PM
Good for you. But I will never trust these new alts and ICOs. Some of them doesn't even have proper basics. Many of the new coins and ICOs looks to exploit the current excitement about Bitcoin.

BTW, I took a look at NEO. It has got a $2 billion+ market cap in almost no time. And the prices have increased by 250x (25,000%) during the last four months.

Yes putting hopes on new ICO's always dangerous if it is less than $1 then we can take the risk. But once it crossed this amount it is a risk to invest on that coin. Recently we saw BCH this also made people crazy 2 days but after that what was happened maybe something is going to happen this coin. Better now sell and make money.
I do really always check on its total volume and its marketcap and once I do see that it has a small volume chances of getting pumped would really be there but we wont really know on when to happen since chances do happen once in a while and we wont really know on when it would come. If you can able to risk money to earn money then its our choice and for those persons who do believe on NEO for sure cherishing the profits that they had made.
7034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin will survive after 100 year ? on: August 16, 2017, 12:37:43 PM
I am asking this just to see the different opinions of Bitcoin community about its long term potential

I know Bitcoin is actually strong enough and stable as well

But what do you think about it after 100 years ?
No one can tell since no one could able to predict the future and talking about 100 years all of us would be dead on those days for sure. Knowing that the last bitcoin would be mined would be on next 100 years (2140) as far as I remember if it could able to manage to last of into those years then I'm sure value is on the point on where we didn't imagine for sure and younger generations would able to witness such thing.
7035  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: August 15, 2017, 02:34:33 PM
It is truly possible because Bitcoin is not like those riches who are getting richer themselves exploiting poor people's hardwork, but Bitcoin gives opportunity to those lower or mid level type laymen too in order to think to invest in such a giant and make up a living...
Those who have had taken the opportunities and bought few even when the price was $250 once, they must be having at least 10x of what they sowed... Smiley
You said was right but this is just only good for those who did believe on bitcoin on earliest days and considering on the number of those people its just really a small count on the total population who do suffer poverty. I cant see that bitcoin would able to solve or end world poverty knowing that not all people do have knowledge about bitcoin and engaging on it would really require net connection which we can see that they don't even have a pc nor a mobile phone.
7036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I suddenly decided to leave gambling alone. on: August 15, 2017, 01:15:52 PM
I think if there is ever a time when gambling is negatively affecting your life then it's a really good time to say 'that's enough' & walk away.

OP I salute you for being strong willed enough to take control of your situation.
Its very an easy thing to say to someone and would able to say on ones self but doing this thing is really very hard and you would really need strong self control and discipline in able to do such thing. If you are really a wise person and a sensible one you would really feel these things and you will surely think up on whats ahead or the possible consequences that might happen to you.
7037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: Apple Store Start Accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum on: August 15, 2017, 10:44:08 AM
Quote
The “Apple cafeConnect” service center, which sells Apple gadgets and provides services for their repair has begun accepting payments in cryptocurrencies.
Oh. I got too excited there. Freakin clickbait articles. It's just an apple accessories store in Belarus named “Apple cafeConnect”, ladies and gentlemen, not Apple Inc. Still good news, but yeah. It's not the official Apple company that started accepting bitcoin and ethereum. Oh well, for now, one can only dream of such tech giants accepting cryptocurrencies for payments.

Not sure if OP actually read the article and not only the headline.
Ive fallen on the trap too. Grin I did thought that Apple Inc. do really announce that they do accept BTC and ETH. This is why I did click the link and ending up on reading the misleading information since its just an another store which do accept crypto for their Apple accessories same as you said. Good for them and for those people who do live near on that place. If this thing would happen globally or even on Apple Inc. Itself then it would really be a huge step-up.
7038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: August 15, 2017, 10:17:53 AM
If I won money ,I will put into investment for gambling to have more money after that I will buy important think in my live .


It is not at all a good decision to keep all the amount back into gambling because the winning chances are very less when you gamble again.
I tried many time like this and failed, so it is always good to find other investment farms where you can make money from it.
Maybe he mean about putting up those winnings on gambling site house which we can really consider it as an investment and theres no such thing that playing gambling again as an investment since its just for entertainment purposes. I can say that its somehow a good decision on putting on houses and we would really gain up even though on small percentage but much better than losing all of those winnings back again to the house.
7039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: August 14, 2017, 10:58:45 AM
Whatever brings the individual some sense of invincibility to themselves then it is not bad. But if in everything you do it life and you keeps superstition, of course it doesn't make sense. In gambling, there are a lot of superstitions, but its up to us if we want to believed on it or not. Some bring their belief in the casino and won, because they think that they are invincible which sometimes happened but we all know that luck has something to do with it and not superstitions.


I respect the beliefs and opinions of every person in superstition.When gambling at an online casino or land based casino, people often believe that can increase their chances of winning through superstitious practices, even when facing losing streaks. We can not rely on superstition,we need to put an action.

when we facing losing streaks that time only people go with this Superstition because our all actions will not work that time and people start to believe in this Superstition. Not only in a real casino and online casino while watching any sports with friends or relations our fav team is playing means that time most of the people will follow this method and they believe this method. But most of the time the resulting will support to those put trust on Superstition I don't know how it will affect the game result.
Superstitions wont really affect the game since its just a belief on what gamblers do have and believing such thing isn't really bad at all because its normal for a certain person to find ways that would work for him on playing gambling and it cant really be avoided and also to myself when I do play gambling even I don't have beliefs but when I'm in the middle of the game I can create my own ways which somehow acts as a superstitious belief.
7040  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will banks start a war against bitcoin on: August 14, 2017, 10:23:58 AM
This is impossible, they can't start a war against a cryptocurrency.
Btc don't have only one source or only one country or ...
It is all around the world.


That's not true. I think the banks would starts a war but only when market cap of Bitcoin is over $1,000,000,000,000 then they will pay attention to it because people aren't using the banks they will be using Bitcoin instead and this is not good for banks so they will try to fight against Bitcoin in that time, but not now it is way too early actually.
On that marketcap they will surely be worried about because people would really switch already into crypto without using banks anymore and they would really be worried about that but I cant think off on the way on how they would make a war against bitcoin? I guess it would really be hard since bitcoin is anonymous and tracing any single user of that wallet isn't possible as of now and this is really the beauty of bitcoin.
