Lol! I don't think I've ever posted on these garbage threads but maybe most a few more examples so I can make sure.
I'm not guitarplinker, but I'll list a few garbage threads. Not very hard to realize which ones. They usually have thousands of posts, asks a question, and usually doesn't have any discussion - just people repeating what hundreds have already said. No real value comes from the threads.
Is their any safe methods to gamble?
If you were rich, would you still gamble?
How much can you earn with gambling?
what fun in GAMBLING?
Instead of contributing to this campaign why not you contribute to this forum by reporting those threads to mods with some solid proof.

We have incidents of threads got locked when they got over spammed.

If you are not able to convince mods to lock those threads by showing proof, it is not a good practice to call a thread as garbage and to suggest here. (it indirectly doubts the responsibility of mods of corresponding section)


@guitarplinker
I believe it is not a common practice to have off-threads similar to off-sections for a signature campaign.

I respect your decision of campaign participants not to spam in those threads. But it shows some selfishness if you (or we) are not taking any steps to prevent others too not to spam there.

I think the price volatility, lots of incidents related to black market activities and many other anti-government activities are the major cause that's stopping people from using bitcoins.

I don't think BTC price volatility is the primary cause for not using it. But based on my knowledge as of now bitcoins are not accepted by many governments because they can't track the transactions and can't put taxes on to it so many businesses are not taking it as a payment method. Currently, bitcoins are used mostly in online gambling and for some limited online activities.
The price volatility of bitcoin is a concern for the merchants to accept bitcoin payments. When they are accepting bitcoin payments and if the price of bitcoin get lowered then they might incur losses. Also, the pending approvals from the government is a big concern for many people, and they are still waiting for any view from their government to start using bitcoins.
7283  Other / Off-topic / Re: In 20 years, what would you like to do with your bitcoin? on: July 28, 2016, 09:04:48 PM
I think that if the bitcoin in 20 years later
bitcoin will be the a big a payment in the world and we can use it for buy anything.
Today also you can literally buy anything in the world using bitcoins.
After 20 years I'll be probably using bitcoins for my day to day purchases.
Even now, bitcoin is only starting to be accepted worldwide and I'm guessing in about 5 years, there would be a lot of stores that are accepting bitcoins around the world.

But you guys really didn't answer the question. What I'd like to do with my bitcoin after 20 years actually depends on it's value. If it has stabilized permanently, then I might just go on a spending spree. If it's still volatile and really high in value, I'd just sell it and enjoy the rest of my life.
7284  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: July 28, 2016, 08:43:29 PM
I don't see a reason why I shouldn't accept bitcoins as a salary since you can exchange bitcoin in flat . It's a great thing actually. This is not an impossible because everyday bitcoin is getting popular.
yeah, a lot of people tell that it would be a problem to use it, but you can simply just exchange it all to fiat at the time you get your salary, i would definitely accept bitcoin salary
then it's not actually accepting salary in bitcoin form,it's just having salary in fiat even it's on exchanger,and by doing this you're wasting effort,times,and money for paying fees when you could get your salary directly through fiat
There are some problems that I can think of by accepting bitcoins as our salary.
First problem is that your company/boss/employer would have the need to know about bitcoins. If they don't, then either you introduce it to them or them finding about it some day. But it doesn't necessarily mean that they would agree with paying employees with bitcoins.

Next, is about the tx confirmation. Let's say that it's payday and you desperately need your salary then the tx isn't confirmed fast and it took hours. Fiat is better since you'll be receiving the money nearly instantly.
7285  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin worst decision you will ever make? on: July 28, 2016, 08:21:46 PM
One of the worst decisions would be buying an alt, watching the price shoot up and then still holding the coin when it plummeted, it can happen so quickly.

Best decision was taking up bitcoin in the first place.
That's not entirely true for all since I have actually made some profits from buying alts and selling them when they rise in value. Of course, it's not always that I make profit.
My only worst decision was that I never really trusted the opportunity I had when bitcoin was still at around $350.
7286  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: July 28, 2016, 07:45:01 PM
One cool thing I discovered recently was "bitcoin days destroyed"?
I saw a discussion about this here-
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/845/what-are-bitcoin-days-destroyed

and thought that this was a really cool metric.
Coins that haven't been moved in a while suddenly getting transferred is a very interesting topic.

I don't think its actually possible to know the exact number of people using Bitcoin because each person can have multiple addresses.
The concept of bitcoin days destroyed is only for measuring the volume but it does kind of give us a good opportunity to actually have a basis but that alone of an information isn't really enough. There's really no way to know the number of people using Bitcoin since we can't even know the average number of addresses each person owns.
7287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: July 28, 2016, 07:27:48 PM
As much as I hate to say it, I actually hope more people start buying drugs and other things on the darknet with BTC.
(As long as its not child pornography or weapons I have no problem with anything people want to buy with Bitcoins.)
It means that more people will buy coins and the price will go up.
Sorry but I'm greedy and want my investment to be worth more lol.  Roll Eyes

Anyways, drugs should be legalized.
The "war on drugs" is just a business. The people that started it knew that. They don't want the war to end because they make too much profit.
That's a whole different topic, though.
I'll focus mainly on the later half of your statement;

I think some drugs should be legalized, but not some others. Very basic and recreational drugs like marijuana should probably be legalized just because of the unnecessary amount of incarcerations for it as well as the relative lack of harm it causes. Other drugs like heroin and methamphetamine should not be legalized in my opinion, as those are much harder drugs with more dangerous consequences. But yes, the war on drugs is just a business for some people, and for the drug distributors they're making more than they would have before. It kind of goes both ways.
The thing is, those drugs are worth what they're worth right now directly because they are illegal.
Legalizing them would mean lower value of those drugs and we can probably implement a better control of supply/management on it.

However, I am in no way suggesting to do that, as I am only stating the possible effects of doing so.
7288  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: July 27, 2016, 08:11:26 PM
i use it everyday for work and personal life, love it
To use bitcoin in your everyday life, you must be living in a place where bitcoin ATMs are available to get bitcoins so easily. Because buying bitcoins is a very big task in my country. To use bitcoins, in your official work, you must be into bitcoin related job or you are offering any bitcoin based  services related business.

Please share more about your spending options of your both official and personal usage. We love to hear them.

Peoples are so eager to know how to use bitcoins effectively. But the big hurdle for most of the people who are looking to spend their bitcoins must be the spending options like different types of merchants accepting bitcoin for their daily needs.

If we are having a chain of super market which is accepting bitcoin payments all around  in the world then spending bitcoins is no more a big concern.
Yes, many people are watching this thread just because of getting some new innovative business ideas for their country specific.

When you are sharing like you are having options to use bitcoins through your exchanger for your mobile talk time purchase, that might trigger a new venture in a developing country by member here for his region.

Storing of Bitcoins is against Bitcoin.
No one will offer services for Bitcoin.
Spend Your Bitcoins.


Hi Vika, how does storing of bitcoins is against bitcoins? Where did you learned that? Can you please share to us the link or the article stating what you have mentioned. Because a lot of people is earning a lot of money through storing of bitcoins or in other other term , by holding them so they will be able to sell it in the future or when the time that its price will rise and as far as I am concern, nobody can require anyone to spend their money just because they say so.
The baseline of claiming storing bitcoins is against bitcoin must be storing is preventing the circulation of bitcoins get moved. It means it eliminates the chances of new ideas to be implemented to get new business to attract more people into bitcoin ecosystem. So basically storing Bitcoins turns against attracting new people.

Now say, will you appreciate that not attracting new people for the growth of bitcoin ecosystem?
I agree, when bitcoins are not stored and being used for new business, then it will contribute to the growth of bitcoin ecosystem. Still, storing bitcoin is a basic right of a user. We can not argue not to store. But, a large community itself stores, then it would be a big problem for the entire system.
7290  Other / Off-topic / Re: 2016, The Year of Bitcoin? on: July 26, 2016, 04:22:17 PM
Probably this is the best year so far, 2016 has a great record as it doubles the opening price in this year alone and considering that we have at least 5 months to end this year we might see another skyrocket of price again as the halving effect was not yet felt by the investors.

this year is not one and realistic price should be over 1000 by end of this year
Maybe even more after new year over 1500
I think if you think that this year will be the year of bitcoin if the price could go up and touch the price between $ 1000- $ 1500. I think this year is not the year of bitcoin. because it would be very difficult for bitcoin to be increased 2-fold within one year. $ 650 to $ 1,500. I think it is something quite impossible


You really think so? You are a senior. Did you not see how it doubled for just months? It didnt even take a year. Maybe we need a little more trust. It is like this thing happening also. Slowing down, rising and falling then it booms again for a larger price.

People here don't seem to care about how much growth we have already seen this year. They just want to see the price double from the current levels. That's all they care about. They probably missed the great opportunity to buy around $300-$400 not that long ago.
I for one, didn't miss the opportunity to buy coins when the price was still at $450. I bought coins that time because of halving speculations that the value would go up and it did seem to prove me right. Although it didn't really happen on the halving day but a few weeks before.
7291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Carry empty paper bitcoin wallets with you on: July 26, 2016, 03:36:18 PM
This actually is a good idea. I might actually have to have some empty wallets and have them printed out on a piece of paper so if they asked me about bitcoin, I can just give them the paper and the instructions on how to use it. That way, they have the opportunity to actually explore what bitcoin is and use it firsthand.
7292  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: July 26, 2016, 10:10:05 AM
At this time, no I wouldn't. Bitcoin is so volatile right now, the risks outweigh the positives. Yes, I could make 30% profit in fiat in a day, But I could also lose the same!
I too believe this is not the right time to get our salary in bitcoins. Until we are having all our life's necessary things are available for bitcoin, there is no meaning in getting our salary in bitcoins. Because getting salary in bitcoin and then converting them back to fiat for spending it has absolutely no meaning.

But, getting 10% or 25% of your salary in bitcoin, for the purpose of saving it for long term must be good idea as it has great meaning.
I guess it depends upon country where you are living in. In some countries already all your life's needs are available for bitcoin payments. But I really like your idea of getting some portion of our salary in bitcoin for the purpose of saving it for long term.
7293  Other / Off-topic / Re: 2017 Year of the Bitcoin on: July 25, 2016, 11:43:18 AM
There will be a time when every year will be Btc year, when everybody use it. Wink
That is a strange thing to explain to someone who is asking about bitcoin and when was the year it made it big.
In those terms then it will just be the norm if every year was a bitcoin year.  Wink
Well, it would be a different answer if they asked about the year bitcoin made it big.
Bitcoin year can not be every year since if people just started adopting bitcoin as a natural thing, then bitcoin is not going to be given some special views anymore since it is a natural. May be in a few years, that will happen.
7294  Other / Off-topic / Re: If i give you 10 BTC what will you do? on: July 25, 2016, 11:27:52 AM
If You give Me 10 Btc I will Do trading With it Because in Trading Not Much Risk is Involved so There Is Less Chances of Losing Funds Or I Will Hold this Amount For a Price Increase and then I will Sell this Amount At High Price...
Instead of going for trading, holding must be the best option in my opinion too. Because I hear recently many people are simply gambling their bitcoins in the name of trading. Both bitcoin trading and altcoin trading requires some skill and experience to get proper result with that. Otherwise, holding 10 BTC must be the best option to secure it for future use.
7295  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: July 25, 2016, 08:10:35 AM
I would really like to have my salary to be in Bitcoin but that would make life quite difficult for me since i wont be able to use it in my local area. If maybe at least 20% of my salary was to be in Bitcoin then that would make things a bit better. Then slowly i could make an investment and convert it into fiat later on.
When you are in need of converting bitcoins into fiat to use them, then it must be unnecessary thing to get your salary in bitcoins. But when everything is being available for bitcoin payment, then there must be no wrong in getting salary in bitcoin. I'm planning to get my salary in bitcoin as I'm having enough shops to to spend my bitcoins.
7296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Funny thing I'm learning... on: July 25, 2016, 07:32:15 AM
Lucky you! Just as everyone has already said, you might have received it from some sites that you joined in and forgot about it since the chances of a single address receiving coins from a random person is a lot less than winning the grand lottery.

But then again, someone must have felt that you deserved to paid that amount for helping them maybe? I don't know. You don't know. We don't know.

Anyways, keep it and use it for good! Don't just start giving it away, multiply it first then when you feel that you have enough, pay it back to those in need!
7297  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bank or Bitcoin Wallet? on: July 25, 2016, 06:38:42 AM
For me i choose both i used bitcoin as my other investment while in bank account you will less the risk of your money because bank have a physical can able to see while in bitcoin can disappear even in one click because it is online without assurance if your money back if they will disappear.
The disadvantages, what you are mentioning about bitcoin ecosystem, is also possible with banks, for example when you are coming out of bank ATM with cash, if you get robbed then there is no guarantee for returning of that money.

The advantages of bank is also possible with bitcoin ecosystem if you are ready to hold your bitcoin in cold storage for long term. In long, term you will have protection against price fluctuations and now a days physical bitcoin is also possible if physical thing is your big concern.
7298  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: WHAT CAN I DO WITH 0.1 BTC ?? on: July 25, 2016, 05:50:26 AM
You can invest into a double


thats what im asking for how to double it ?
many says gambling but i dont do that , am think ill try with altcoins in chaa lah i will double it  Smiley
i dont think that doubling with the gambling is a good idea because you will lose your money, i think the best way of doing that is just cryptocurrency trading and thats it
Peoples here either suggest trading in crypto-currencies or gambling. Obviously gambling is more dangerous for your 0.1 BTC. At the same time, trading also sometimes gives results same as gambling.

Personally I would like to suggest what I will do with my 0.1 BTC is simply holding it.
Because I believe in bitcoin and holding bitcoin itself will give you more benefits (than gambling nor trading) over time.
7299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: July 24, 2016, 08:18:21 PM
Is it wrong if people have to work hard to earn money? Gambling would always be introduced to earn for their living and it existed since BC.

It started with a game and then people started gambling their assets if they won and today it's become a craze where it is no longer a game but a life-threatening one where people take loans and gamble their money. Gambling in short exists in every form whether it's a business risk or a trade of property or jewels.
7300  Economy / Economics / Re: When do you buy Bitcoin ? on: July 24, 2016, 07:37:47 PM
i am continously buying bitcoin for last few months and i still believer that that it is still good time for buying bitcoin. because the price of bitcoin is still too low and i hope that the price will increase much in next few months.
Continuously buying is a good option rather than buying all at once. Because you will get more chances to average your buying prices when bitcoin prices getting low at the same time you will get more chances to keep on investing in bitcoin when bitcoin price increases from low to high.

I always do not have any specific plans to buy bitcoins. I will invest into bitcoin whenever I get some incentives. Otherwise, I will buy bitcoins and I will use them for online purchases.
