7201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What type of sports you love in sports betting and why? on: January 24, 2017, 12:58:41 PM
Hi, guys , I am just wondering what type of sports you love in sports betting? Does choosing that type of game gives you more advantage than other sports or you just love it because that is your favorite sport?

Please do share some inputs here.. Grin
I like all game in sport betting handicap match Im always take it asian handicap but sometimes place a bet on over/under,rarely for me bet on moneyline due the risk you got when bet money line is more big than you can earn.
We have different sports at our choice and for me I love NBA Basketball, been watching it regularly, maybe I was just influence by the people surrounds me because we love basketball. Actually, I am really having fun while betting on NBA, I know almost all of the players due to the help of the internet now and it is also vital to handicap games. Some says, they love cricket, but honestly, I have no idea about that game.

Bitcoin was created to free everyone from the control of banks and governments. It is gives you the power to be your own bank! and now we got people asking to make a bitcoin bank, which I think is ridiculous! It against the entire idea of bitcoin, just think for yourself. Banks will centralize everything rather than decentralization.

yet i believe many people lie to being controlled as log as who control their funds offer them soem sort of protection, i can bet my ass that bitcoin banks will be a reality in the future

where average joe can store their funds safely, those same people can't keep safe their local wallet...and btw there are already some forms of bitcoin banks, like xapo wallet, and coinbase itself, they have insurance, they are solid and reliable
But are they guided by the banking system? Honestly, I do not put my bitcoins with the above mentioned, I have my money in my local exchange site and I feel it's not secured due to no insurance at all, however I minimize the risk by spreading my deposits in different wallets.

Bitcoin bank will surely help those who are holding big volume of bitcoins, they will feel safe with this bitcoin bank that is going to exist in the future.
7203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you still use Bitcoin if price would be stable for years? on: January 24, 2017, 08:17:47 AM
If bitcoin stand stable around the 350- 400 dollars and wouldnt go up or down them those, i would keep using and spending more my bitcoins than now, due the fact it would be easy to get new coins, and would be investment period, with the potencial that bitcoin does have, and the halving readjusting the value, people are starting to saving instead invest and make the coin circulate, that were one of the main reasons that made bitcoin be what it is now.
I doubt that you will continue using Bitcoin if the prices ever get stable around $400. You will definitely cry a lot because the prices drop from $1000 to $400 and due to this fact, you will sell all your Bitcoin as soon as possible in order to avoid losing more money in BItcoin
We can still use it, not all of us here are seeing bitcoin as a form of investment only. We have seen that price in the past and there is no problem with using it, as long as the system is still perfectly working, there is no reason for me to stop using bitcoin. If I cannot make an income by investing it, I can definitely use it in gambling and hopefully I could earn.
7204  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: January 24, 2017, 06:39:31 AM
Bitcoin is being used widely in porn sites, gambling and drug dealing sectors. Is that why the btc made for ? I have seen a lot of members in this forum discussing about buying drugs, gambling and enjoying porn with bitcoin. Is not it a misuse of a currency ? Block chain tech is a awesome tech and btc is getting popular. I hate these misuses of precious btc. It hurts me. This will lead into unhealthy society along with unhealthy future generation.

The general problem is the twisted mind of the humans.
Drugs, porn, gambling addiction, those are all things that are not welcome in the public society. Yet people want to have it.
So they search a way to get what they want, without anybody knowing.
The anonymity of a bitcoin transaction gives the people the solution to their problem.
I don't think that there is an option to stop that misuse.
I only hope that the legit use of bitcoin will become so dominant that the misuse will not be noticed anymore.
Yes, the problem is not the tool but the ones using it, I think the biggest problem has to do with the possibility of buying drugs with bitcoin since many don't see anything wrong with gambling and porn has become so ubiquitous thanks to the internet, however I don't think the problem is that big but the press keeps pushing the issue to misinform the public.
The mainstream media is sometimes corrupt, they published wrong news because they are paid to do that. But it's not a problem anymore, the internet is a more accurate place to get a reliable information and I know users of bitcoin are smart people and they will not be convince easily on negative news without a valid evidence to support it.
7205  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I'd like to get some bitcoins. Is now a good time to do so? on: January 23, 2017, 07:17:58 AM
It's always a good time to get Bitcoins, just that some times are more convenient then others. The price is moving between 800$ and 900$ recently and probably will stay so for a while. If you have free funds, buy Bitcoins, it's not very cheap at the moment but all expectations are that the price will go up again and if you hold the coins long enough you will profit.
What lesson's I learned when buying bitcoins is never hesitate to buy especially when the price is rising, and that is what is currently happening now. From a big price fall, we are back to to the top again and it seems like the price will continue to rise, you are right, if you have extra funds you should buy now. I would not hesitate if I were in your situation, this opportunity need not to be take for granted.
7206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: January 23, 2017, 06:54:07 AM
Of course i will playing with my profit only when i doubled my money. Immediatelly withdraw when my money got doubled, and gamble the left. If i lose, i'm just losing my profit and still have my initial balance, i don't lose anything then. I'll be lucky if i doubled my profit again and i'll withdraw again.
So what if you are going to lose in the first place with your capital balance? Then your aim for gambling for profit is going to be failed. That's why there are times that I am gambling for profit but not all the time because I know the risk that it can make me addicted. And that is why now, I just gamble to have fun so if I win and get profit that's better.
Your way of thinking will make you a satisfied gambler, it doesn't need to aim for profit all the time as we need to reserve some time to enjoy ourselves in gambling. When you are aiming for profit, you will have to sacrifice your emotion as it does not help at all and it will just be a bait to bet not base on your approved game plan.
7207  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we make more money? on: January 23, 2017, 06:28:00 AM
You can earn money by working.

What are the things to do to succeed in trade? What are you doing to make your business bigger?
How can we make more money?
first you need to learn is how to analysis of trading and expand information. The first to expand the business is introduce your business to the general public by creating campaign or ads.

Working is everything you need to make money. But to make a lot of it, you have to capitalize on what you are good at. You have to prove the best in your craft in that industry. If you know how to code, be the best coder and sell your service. If you want to make your business better, it is not just about ads and campaigns, if your business sucks then no one will care even if you advertise in the biggest television or buy all the ads you can on facebook or google.
Probably in the crypto world or online world it's the most in demand job, how I wish I know how to code so I could quit my daily job and just work at home. Anyway, I have to live on the reality, I don't know how to code but I'm good in analyzing that's why sometimes I can make profit in gambling and trading. Everyone has it's own expertise and if we use that on our passion we can definitely grow, let's work until we will be able to raise a good amount of money then we start to invest or do both.
7208  Economy / Economics / Re: How many BTC will make you a fiat millionaire in 5 years? on: January 23, 2017, 06:08:05 AM
I am in a positive side that bitcoin price will push through and unexpected will come in our way. Of course, you have to sacrifice your money now, make sure you don't withdraw it if you really want to become millionaire after 5 years if not, then you are just dreaming and just be happy for the success of others.
Well, if you expect to be rich with only 10 Bitcoin, i think it will never ever happen. We all believe that Bitcoin will increase but although I am a positive man, I dont think 1 bitcoin will equal to $100000. You need to buy more Bitcoin or obtain more Bitcoin from working or trading or even gambling
But some countries even with the current price only 10 bitcoins are enough to become rich or start a business and just think if that person will have that 10 bitcoins after 5 years then he will be able to start a factory with that money.
actually it depend on the price of bitcoin, if the price of bitcoin trading high then 10 bitcoin is really enough, but if the price of bitcoin is not so high then you will certainly need some more bitcoin to become millionaire.
Don't based it with the current value of bitcoin, we are talking here of 5 years and I am sure that time the value will substantially increase. If this year we can see $2,000 then probably the succeeding years are also gonna be successful. Hence, to make our estimate more reliable, we also need to consider the past price trends.

If every year bitcoin prices increase by 1000$ , then after 5 years  the current saved bitcoin will be worth 5000$ more. that could really make all of the current holders of bitcoins billionaire. The only question here is if we really gonna increase the value of bitcoins by 1000$. that something questionable and need some work to do done in order to achieve that.
We are not only looking of $1,000, it's good to see if the increase will always be 100%  per year and that would make the value of bitcoins grow. Banks offer like maximum of 8% per year interest rate for our deposits plus it's subject to inflation, compared to bitcoin, it is more profitable in bitcoin although a little risky though.
7209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin, is it worth spending time collecting it? on: January 23, 2017, 05:54:23 AM
It is worth collecting Bitcoin but not by quitting ones daily job

It is very much wise to collect bitcoins on the side.
Yes, collecting bitcoin can be good side job. We can do trading, minning or joining sign camp. I think keep collecting bitcoin is good because the price will increase. Do not forget to have fun with bitcoin by spending it.
that's good mate thinking that bitcoin can be big in the near future will let you enjoy collecting it in any possible ways, I'm still collecting btc coming from faucets and some service offers even i earn just little sat but combining it with my signature earnings and try to buy some alts while price really fluctuates and hopefully got some rise up to make some more earnings.
In any way, we should consider starting to collect bitcoins now, do it in a hard work and we will be benefited in the future. It might be small with the current price but as time pass by, the price will also increase, just don't think of how much you collected already but focus more on collecting constantly. I have my income in bitcoin and I make it a point that I will be able to set aside a little portion for the future.
7210  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: January 23, 2017, 05:18:18 AM
Those who have already bought bitcoin in its initial stage have already got rich. Even now, its not too late. Still bitcoin price is steadily increasing. Governments and banking sectors are very much interested in block chain technology. Many big companies are coming forward to accept bitcoin as payment. It has created a huge demand for bitcoins.But we should not expect short term returns and only long term investment will yield huge profits.
That's our speculation in the future and I believe it will happen, the price may not be big as we can see now but there's a great chance it will again double this year. If it was easy last year we could do this again this year, there's a sign already and we have reach to $1,000 which is a good break to probably surpass what has been listed as all time high.
7211  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: January 22, 2017, 02:24:13 PM
Currently I have lot Bitcoin and I transfer it to my bank account. So now I am back to zero and I set my goal that rhis year I will not cashout any of my bitcoin and I think I can have 1 bitcoin or more this year. I just want to see if how many bitcoins will I earn this year so I don't want to cashout bitcoin even 1sats Smiley I hope this year will be with me so I can have a good profit.
We have different definition of a lot for sure, I have mine as well and I cash out some when the price was at the rate of $1,000. 2016 was a good year for me as I ended up having a great profit. This year, I vow to take more risk, I have to make additional savings and be more aggressive as I like how this year starts and I have a very good feeling that this will be another monster year, surpassing the all time high and would easily double up the $1,000.
7212  Other / Archival / Re: Do you agree with idea "Bitcoin bank" ? on: January 22, 2017, 01:52:10 PM
I won't support this idea, simply because bitcoin has already many place to be put on and that is bitcoin wallet, 3rd party wallets. In my own opinion you dont have to make a tangible thing for a non-tangible one. So a non-tangble bitcoin is good for a non-tangible wallet. Good bye and let's not welcome bitcoin banks.
Maybe we have to think that the purpose on why bitcoin was created is because we want to have a decentralized transaction, banks will make it decentralized and we do not want that to happen, we can have our bank in real world while we also have a chance to use a decentralized system.

I don't know what would a bitcoin bank look like but if it's similar with the banking system in the real world, then for sure, lots of people will not support it.
7213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 22, 2017, 01:43:00 PM
Lol, please the Warriors only crush teams in the regular season, they will suffer against Grizzlies, Clippers, Spurs, Rockets and even Blazers if they get that far.

The Warriors have a lot of weak spots in their roster, just an injury to their big four (hell even Iguodala) will create havoc. And don't forget that it's all fine now but there is a lot of tension between Green and the rest.

You are really not an enthusiast of Golden State Warriors lol but Im agree to your sayings but exclude Los Angeles Clippers since they are inconsistent even with a healthy lineup. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are not the players today that still has a wild teeth back in their peaks.

Green is so much talktative that's why their target achievement last year have been spoiled by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Imagine after they take the margin to 3-1 last finals lots of boastful comments came from him. And now look at what happen. Cheesy (Please no comment about refs, take that to your dreams).
I think clippers will make it to the playoffs but I would agree that in first round they can't make it even cp3 and blake griffin will be playing again. About draymond he's so talkative because he's trying to ruin the player gameplay that was his strategies.
It's a different game you will witness once we reach in the playoffs, there are a lot of surprises that might happen, like big upsets. I tell you, never underestimate the Clippers, they have beaten the Spurs in the past playoffs but they lost to the Rockets in the west Semi-Finals due to a big comeback of the rockets.

I guess it's good to see that Paul and Griffin have injuries early in the season so we can hope it will not happen again and hopefully they can all play in the playoffs.
7214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: January 22, 2017, 12:36:11 PM
hello, I would like to try my luck from gambling.

what kind of gambling that you think is easy to make a profit? and what strategies are you using?
For me there's no easiest way to gamble if you really want to win play hard don't give up giving up means you accepted your failure in gambling don't stop when you didn't doubled your bank role also play with small amounts into big amounts this is my strategies always bets what your heart says.
I don't know how this strategy is helping you, don't give up means if we lose money we have to play until we get back our loss. This is not good move many times if we play like this we will end with the big loss. And don't think to double your bankroll in gambling easily it will take a lot of time. So you should stop your play at the right time otherwise, you will make you wallet empty in a single day.
It's probably one of the biggest reason why most of the gamblers failed in gambling, we let our emotion controlled us during gambling and we know it's not good as we can make stupid mistakes like chasing bets and the game plan that suppose to be executed will not be done anymore. In gambling, what we need is just to be smart and nothing else.

Those are some serious bets 16 and 24BTC. Wow. We got a whale in here for sure! I'll check out your casino tonight. Congrats Wonton.

Frank Lefty Rosenthal Signing Out.

Lmao!! This is small compared to WoW betting 150-300BTC but that was before it was still bitdice in the older version

Whales stays here because they trust the casino, it's very rare for me to see this kind of big bets but I admit I admire what this guy has made. It will help to attract people to gamble with Bitdice. I can only say congrats to Wonton and may you continue to gamble with Bitdice.
7216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: January 22, 2017, 11:33:42 AM

I couldn't agree more. Poker is really entertaining game, either you win or lose, playing for money or free you will have fun all the time. Just to watch someone who is playing poker is fun.


Watching people play poker is just another kind of gambling sickness for me. Why would I waste my time to do this kind of thing when I could join them and even make some quick cash from the table? Poker is not really entertaining though unless there is a huge money involved in the game for every hand

Oh give me a break with your nonsense. Lots of people are watching poker tournaments on TV, so all those people are sick? Where is your logic?
Just because you don't like something and you disagree with opinions of others you can't call people sick.
Everyone deserves to be happy and we have unique happiness, it could be sick for others but I am sure it's just an entertainment for most. Never blame gambling for anyone's misfortune because that is the result of irresponsible gambling and one must suffer for his mistakes.

However, the negative effect for some people doesn't mean that it will do with others, it primarily depends on how we handle ourselves to stay in the game.
7217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 22, 2017, 11:24:23 AM
I'll watch San Antonio - Cleveland game, it's the best of the night. I wonder what Spurs do in Cleveland without Tony Parker and Pau Gasol. Dejounte Murray will start as PG and David Lee as C. They may use smaller rotation but Kawhi and Aldridge should dominate the scoring weight. Before All-Star we'll see Kawhi vs. Lebron, it would be a finals match-up this year. It'll be exciting to watch.
This game can also be a preview of possible finals as san antonio also eyeing for another finals appearance its an interesting game to watch let see if cavs can take advantage playing in front of their fans and without parker and gasol.
It was a very intense game, as usual, we see another Lebron James who cannot close games relying only in outside shooting. They could have won the game since they have the last possession in the final regulation but the should did not fall. Good game for the spurs limiting the cavaliers in OT and I see Leonard going to own Lebron if they will possibly meet in the NBA Finals. Let's make this happen.
7218  Economy / Economics / Re: Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc on: January 20, 2017, 06:14:16 AM
Gold is finished, gold is dead. Everyone's money should be in btc, ltc doge and vidz.

Gold still has value since it is a precious metal that is used in many industries.
But what if someone finds a way to synthesize it? I've read about bacteria that can produce gold in very small quantities. Also, there may be large pockets of gold just waiting to be found and an emergence of such pocket due to an earthquake for instance might crash the prices. Gold may look like a solid investment, but you never know...
Nothing is certain in this world, gold may be the most valuable commodity fiat now but the future cannot be predicted and bitcoin has the potential to be very popular and will grow its value. Holding both would be great but if it's not possible, choose the one that you feel would be more valuable in the future. Since, we are positive about bitcoin's future, in that sense, I can always recommend bitcoin.
7219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin, is it worth spending time collecting it? on: January 20, 2017, 05:53:09 AM
Is it worth spending time to collect Bitcoin rather than having a daily job? What I mean is that can bitcoin be more economical? Has it ever happened that people lose their investment value rather than benefit from spending it on bitcoin?
Do you mean that instead of a daily job, you spend your time earning Bitcoin through things such as a signature campaign or gambling? If that is what you mean, then no. It is definitely not worth your time. It is smarter to keep your daily job and use the money that you save to buy Bitcoin. This way, if anything happens to Bitcoin, you will still have a job and be able to support yourself and/or your family. There just isn't enough ways to earn Bitcoin to make it profitable to only do that. I have never heard of anyone that has done that and hopefully you won't be the first.
Doing signature campaign does not really need a lot of time to do it and you can always do it in your spare time. Also, you have to consider your earnings as well, it's not worth not to look for a decent job. Further, gambling does not guarantee you profit, so do not consider that as a source of income. You might be lucky now, but in the long run you will be tested.
7220  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: January 20, 2017, 02:11:04 AM
Saving money for future, you will not lose your money and that is better than investment.
Because if you are making an investment than there will be a chance that you lose some money or earn some.
So i choose to save money Smiley
but to me i think that if you are going to save your money for a long time , then the value of your money is decreasing from time to time. and if you have invested your money for long term, so hope that after long time the value of your investment will be more high than its original price, therefore i will suggest you that long term investment is more better than trading.
That's the problem with just purely saving money, you will not get a good value of your money due to inflation. Saving and investment are both necessary if you wish to have a better life in the future, you just save enough while you invest more.
