It's good to see players are increasing in the site, seems the update is working well and effective in attracting new players.  I do not know if it is just a none peak time whenever I visit the site, but I saw around less than 40 users every time I log in  before the update but now I seen an increase of around 35% users.  Btw, alex was in the chatroom and made it rain but well I missed the rain just a couple of minutes lucky me  Embarrassed.


Nah, you can't be more unlucky than me, regarding rain at BitDice.
I never been online when the rain occurs, so... Cry Grin

Hahaha, same here.

But still, you have made a nice amount lending out bitcoins, whilst I have gambled away most of my coins on Bitdice and Coinroll lol.

Must mean that you need to hang around in chat more often Tongue

The rains are happening at all times of the day so be sure to hang out more often lol
I didn't know there was a rain, not been active betting lately due to some personal reasons, but I'll try to be active in days to come.
I'm glad to know that Bitdice are progressing better, more games attract more gamblers and that active community really helps a lot.

There is no hope for the Boston Celtics, they lose 2 games in a row and at home, they are the number 1 in the east and it should be a big upset if they will even be sweep by the bulls. I will say now, this  team is a fraud, they cannot even beat the inconsistent Bulls, I'm tired of watching them, I'm discourage actually, not a fan anymore.
7303  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: April 18, 2017, 12:24:27 PM
Maybe this question should be changed to: "Why have a cryptocurrency instead of cash"? Most of us know that BTC has some gaps that are been dealt with by altcoins. The network capacity to process a huge amount of transactions is one example or even the confirmation time.
This thread was created last 2015 and during that time altcoins are not that strong yet, it is just recently when we see major altcoins like ETH and DASH are getting a good value along with the increase of price of bitcoin. If you summarize it, when  alts are getting the success, bitcoins gets more of it also.

Hello Coins.ph support Matanong lang po kung Pwede po bang gamitin ang Virtual Credit Card na nakalink sa paypal galing ng coins.ph. Pang verify ng Payment Method? Need kc nila ng Credit Card Information. Example ng site is Digital Ocean and Alibaba-cloud, aws.amazon.
Hindi na active itong support representative nila dito brad. Better na magtanong ka na lang directly sa support chat nila o sa email nila sa mismong website o dun sa mobile app. Wala pa ata nakakagamit dito ng vcc ng coins.ph at naglink sa paypal pero may mga nakita na ako na nagpurchase gamit yang vcc.
The problem with the support is not very active also, you need to wait for 24 hours before you can see some answer of your questions. Also, I am interested with the VCC or Virtual Credit Card but I only see some limited merchants link to the service, would that mean it is only limited to those?
Please educated me, I am new with this thing, I do not usually purchase online but since they have this system, I will love to try it.
7305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do any people gamble under the age of 18? on: April 18, 2017, 03:39:49 AM
Gambling is like drugs, though there's a law about it and you should follow it. People are still going to keep on abusing it even the minors. There are a lot of countries that has young gamblers and mostly in rural places because they think that it is the one that will save them from poverty, so while they are still young they gamble.
It is not a drugs or illegal drugs if what you meant, gambling is not prohibited but illegal drugs are. Kids can gamble anytime they want if they have the idea about bitcoin online gambling but that is not the responsibility of the site anymore, they do not have the capacity to verify, therefore parents should be monitoring their underage children.

Kids nowadays were too smart that they were able to do works and provide for their family living, so I think they can also play gambling online or even actual gambling, Young people now were also thrilled to play especially when there are rewards especially if its money, so I think its fine as long as they will not let their studies failed.


Gambling is for matured people, when kids learn to gamble there is a big possibility that it will affect his studies in a negative way, usually kids are not good in controlling their emotions and once they are hook up with gambling, it is expected that they will spend more time in gambling than their studies. Sad to see kids who are addicted in gambling, instead of schooling is their priority, they change it to gambling.
7306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin money? on: April 18, 2017, 02:40:37 AM
It is a relatively new technology, and with many aspects that need to be better defined. But for me it is clear the fact that Bitcoin is money. In addition to being decentralized, and having a more efficient issuance than centralized currencies, there are thousands of people using Bitcoin every day, be it to store value, or to pay bills and buy things.
Bitcoin is very precious to us hence it is clearly money, an internet money to be exact, but this money is different from fiat where it inflates over time, bitcoin is not subject to inflation and in fact it could give us a fortune when the price will dramatically increase due to the increasing demand.
Let's be more optimistic with bitcoin value and futuristic as well, the future is bright so it's good to have at least 1 bitcoin now.
7307  Economy / Economics / Re: USD vs BTC on: April 18, 2017, 01:44:18 AM
Till now bitcoin is not much popular than USD because USD is almost known in very country and every people know about usd,but in case of bitcoin only people who are at online only know about that but government accepting bitcoin may increase popularity of bitcoin

I'm not sure that bitcoin will someday be as popular as the dollar. They do not need to be compared. Bitcoin is an alternative coin. Not everyone will use bitcoin. It's all about trusting
Yeah, and I don't think we can have the same trust like how people trust fiat or USD for our bitcoin, right now the number of users is relatively low compared to the users of USD which I believe the most popular legal currency in this world. Bitcoin is a success already and there is no need to think of beating USD as in the end we will need fiat to convert our bitcoins.

Two easy games to predict:

Cleveland and Spurs wins

Spurs will cover the handicap, but Cleveland probably won't
Clevelend are not good in covering the spread but the over is easy since they are both good team offensively, it's in the 4th quarter now and the Cavaliers are having a double digit lead, I hope they can keep up the lead but I guess my over 210 is quite insured in this game. Thanks to the good shooting first half because they gave me a total of 121 points.
7309  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Currency on: April 17, 2017, 11:57:21 AM
Yes it's totally true that bitcoin is becoming a global currency, and bitcoin are now starting to be popular and known by many people. And some person are really treating bitcoin as a global currency because they believe that bitcoin can do such a thing.
to me  think bitcoin is already a global currency, because the user of bitcoin are available everywhere in the world, therefore we can clrealy say that bitcoin is a universal currency, hope that the users of bitcoin will increase more and more in future.
yeah you are right that bitcoin is already a global currency we can buy anything from anywhere around the world through bitcoin so we can say that bitcoin is already global currency.
We have the same thoughts. I think bitcoin is already a global currency because we can use it anywhere and any time particularly on big countries like USA and China on their online transaction. However in other countries, bitcoin is not allowed because they thought that it is being used by criminal.
We are into the right path, we are growing as days passes and that is a great sign for success. It is a global currency since it is globally accepted, there are no boundaries as even rich and poor countries has equal chance to enjoy the benefit of bitcoin. Further, the plus factor is that it is not only a currency but an investment as well.
7310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how strong is bitcoin really? on: April 17, 2017, 11:24:17 AM
bitcoin is built with a strong foundation and system comes with strong security so it is not easy for a thief to take over, the current weakness in bitcoin as possible about legality
Even Hacker is difficult to attack bitcoin network, becasue It does not has data center. so We do not uave to worry about bitcoin has strong security.
I think you're wrong because if the hackers cannot hack any related to bitcoin then what are the past incidents that happened? Like the blockchain has been hacked a thousands of bitcoin just got stole but the hacker give it back and also the hacked exchangers got hacked last year and stole a lot of bitcoins also. There is no safe in internet and anything can be bypass and hacked even bitcoin.
That's why bitcoin is very risky but still people are trusting it, we learn from experience and we are getting ready for possible hacks. This days, the hacking incidents has been lessened and that means the crypto currency community are getting stronger, one of the reason is that we are surrounded with smart people both (good and bad) but majority are good people and they will protect the interest of bitcoin because they are also making money on it.
7311  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: April 17, 2017, 07:28:08 AM
I used to gamble without any limit and lost some serious amount of Bitcoins which I cannot afford to loose. Recovered it through trading little by little and now I just have on sports that too rarely on some tournaments.
It's very tough to get out of the gambling addiction but it's ok now.
good for you mate that you able to at least lessen your risk and cope up inside trading , if you can continue doing this you will be able to gain good earnings and regarding to some sports game boxing and ufc are those who can give some interest too.
That is a good attitude to have, trading is the best answer to recover your losing in gambling, you have a matured thinking and I can say you will succeed with that kind of mindset. Betting is a hard job to do as only few of the gamblers population are successful in making money, most of us are losers that is why now I am just doing it for sole entertainment.
7312  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: April 17, 2017, 06:42:36 AM
Money is needed by all without exception. If you happen a situation when you urgently need a large sum of money, then either you don't know how to count your budget and will always experience such problems, or you want to buy something that does not deserve it. Is my opinion.

Budgeting is a simple yet clever way to combat any unexpected need for money like accidents (knock on wood) and the likes. If you have that little something that you keep off the shelf then you will not have to worry about borrowing money or hacking some of your items for cash.
Some people don't really have that choice though.  If you're too poor to be living with spare income or even disposable income, budgeting becomes very difficult and you'd still find yourself commonly in desperate situations.
I have been in the same situation and that was really hard when your income is not even enough to spend for your daily needs. However, we should not end our life to that status in life only, there are still more rooms for us to grow and we have to work harder in order to improve our life and we will not be in desperate need of money anymore.
7313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: April 17, 2017, 05:56:55 AM
The only thing that I can advice you is to take a self control. You must cut all the strings between you and gambling or much better to diverse your time to other things. As you said you always start gambling with a small amount of your money but ends up losing it all. You must set goals or lose point so that you will not get rekt.

Yeah, right, because if we are going to try some other thing where we could earn money in an easy way but is much safer in gambling, then we could probably quit gambling step by step, and we will just woke up one day, we quitted gambling already. Because in my opinion, being addicted on gambling is not really worth it, it is not bad to gamble as long as you have control in yourself, because if you don't have any, then you are just going to lose more than you could never imagine.
Once you are addicted already, you cannot enjoy gambling anymore, the urge to gamble is always in your mind and your life is not well balance when you are in the situation. For gamblers, we have to be very careful also despite we are having fun since gambling is a risky game and we have to avoid ourselves to be addicted, think of the risk to manage it.
7314  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: April 17, 2017, 05:43:25 AM
If you want to get a big profit per week you should have big amount to get 0.1 btc per week it is really hard if you are trying to get them from cloudmining or investing on altcoins

Don't even mention cloud mining as they are going to bust your capital for it. It will be fine if you are going to get this amount by working very hard for having a lot of source of income, combining your daily job plus other source from bitcoin can be a good combination for earning per week. And there's no secret for it unless you will work hard.
Yes all true ,there's no secret to earn 0.1 BTC a week you can possibly earn more than on that if you are doing the workout it in good investments. Cloudmining isn't profitable and it will need you a capital better if big because you can't feel your profit .
Good if you learn how to manage your money and you do it with trading, investing takes time for return and sometimes you will be scam if you did not make a good research prior to putting your money. Most of the people I know are making good money through trading so I guess it is really profitable, we just have to learn how to do it and master the art of trading.

7316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can u lose with gambling? on: April 16, 2017, 04:42:00 AM
Did you considered also gambling has taken all those precious time you have ,the days and nights? Do you even realize that time you've spent in gambling will never get back? It's not all about the money you waste, but how much time that needs to be used in a certain thing you must do. I don't want to lose anything and something in gambling again.

True, we can lose our valuable time too if gambling became our daily habit and we can't control ourself. When someone start ignoring other stuffs than gambling, there's a big chance for them to lose his job as well. There're still plenty of things that may be gone if gambling already became our main thing. Frankly, this forum is the best place for us to read other's experiences and thoughts about gambling. So, it can give a good warning to most of the members before they faced such bad condition.
I'd say that "wasting" time is actually fine.  People do a lot of things which are pointless in reality but they are enjoyable and that should be a point in itself.
It's  not called as wasting time if you are getting the fun, like in gambling despite the fact that we are losing we still cannot consider that activity we are doing as wasting time, as long as we are entertain in gambling that means we are having a quality time.
7317  Economy / Economics / Re: Spending Bitcoins on: April 16, 2017, 04:03:28 AM
To grow the adoption of bitcoin we need people spending it as a daily currency.
In my country there is not much I cant buy with bitcoins.
Granted not a lot of retailers accept BTC yet but with all the services available now they dont need to.
A bitcoin debit card can be very handy.

Nowadays if I need to pay a bill then I can pay any bill via a site called livingroomofsatoshi

Please list any reasons why you could not use bitcoin for day to day expenses and maybe we can find a way.

One reason i can pointout why  i cant use bitcoin in daily expenses is maybe the bitcoins is still developing in our country and bitcoins is still not well knowned and appriciate by other people here in my country.
Well, if you are not living in a develop countries like big countries you cannot fully enjoy spending your bitcoin. For me, I am already satisfied with my exchange since I can easily cash out my money and use it to buy things that I need, also when there are only few opportunity to spend, I was able to use my money in investing or trading which gives me a good return.
7318  Economy / Economics / Re: Which one is good, trading or investing? on: April 16, 2017, 03:41:54 AM
what is youre mean about bitcoin trading and investment trading
i think is not diference, trading goal is same investment get return

trading is buy low hold and coin incraese sell
Trading and investing is almost the same but the difference is the span of your holdings of a coin. Trading is more on like short term because you want to make profit in every kind of situation that you see in the market while investing is more on like long term because you want to make a lot of profit in longer period of time and you don't care for the current price or news right now because you are looking further.

Yeah i couldn't agree more with you dude, trading depends with the current price, when the price in the low level and possible to increase again in near time it's best time to buy. And sell it when the price high. In trading that's all doing in short time rather than investing. Different both investment and trading is Investment work for long time and trading in short time. In my opinion if have skill in trading better choose it because it give more profit.
Trading can give you more money with a small amount of capital while investing you need to start with a decent amount of money to gain a decent return. Both are risky therefore once should choose that will fit his skills, most people here are risk takers and they are willing to take bigger risk for bigger rewards and like me, I choose trading over investing with my current financial status in life.
7319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: April 15, 2017, 11:21:41 PM
Ceveland Cavaliers 109-108 Indiana Pacers

The first game was over and Cleveland went ahead 1-0 in the first game but there was another 8 seconds in the last minute. Paul George wanted to rust or if he had gone in, he would have fouls.


Lebron James finished the double double again and the free throws were not good this time. We watched a good match.

That was indeed a good match, 1 point game means that was a very thrilling game. Playoffs is more fun than the regular season so it's good to bet on this time also, luckily I wrongfully press the Cavaliers ML instead of point spread and that feels great even if the payout is really not that big.
I was not able to watch the game live since that early in the morning in our place and I'm still sleeping that time but I'll be watching the replay.
7320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? on: April 15, 2017, 11:07:37 PM
I was just trying to earn 5-10$ extra money in a week. But when i understood the potencial, everything was changed. Bitcoin and altcoins are now investment instrument for me.
That's very possible to earn that amount, I earn more than that daily so I believe you can also do that. In the crypto world there's a lot of opportunities where you can maximize your profit and that all depends on how smart you are and on how to dedicate your time with working or investing.
