7381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: April 08, 2017, 03:57:33 AM
I agree, might not be easy to stop gambling, but for a better future then we must immediately stop gambling now. Many others positive activities to avoid gambling like sports, social and more.

Of course that it is not easy to do that, but i don't think that you should stop gambling just to "think about your family", as you can still gamble and love your family. Most of gamblers lose their families because they lose all their money, but it is easy to stop that if you aren't addicted to gambling, just think how much money you can lose ( just in case you lose everything) and you will be fine.
i agree with the point that if a person want to continue to gamble and also care for his family then it is not bad to continue gambling. He have to spend a smaller time in gambling and then continue to concentrate for the better future of their family and for their facilitated life.
That's true. People when spend more time with the family members, sure they'll ignore if something worse happens through gambling too. No need to quit gambling if you have the willingness to set a schedule and grow with your family.
Well, maybe I would say that I'm a responsible gambler because despite of my gambling activities in life I still have time for money family.
It is just important to know how to manage your time properly and set your priorities, I am sure that gambling is not my priority but it's just part of my entertainment to release some stress in daily live struggles, I work hard for my family and I won't let that taken away by gambling addiction.

So how many more games does westbrook have to go to get the ultimate title?
I watched the Oklahoma Thunder game waiting for him to get that one last rebound to break it.
After that I lost interest to watch the next game and it is a work day if they did play on Thursday.
When is it tonight? If so then i will be watching it since it's a Friday night and can stay up this time to watch it until the end.

All remaining games is important for him since it's a big additional to his stats if in every game there will be a boost to his play. If he will missed even by one, it can be the reason for him being behind by his rival, James Harden.

There are only 4 games remaining to them. You can view their upcoming schedule by just typing "Oklahoma City Thunders" or a simple "okc schedule" at the Google search bar or for more detailed one you can check their subpages at the NBA site.

http://www.nba.com/thunder/schedule/

So Russell Westbrook will need just 1 triple double to break the record of Oscar Robertson. So basically 1 out of 4 games. I think he can break the record in his next game against Phoenix. When will be the voting for the regular season MVP starts btw? In the beginning of the season, I though that Durant or James or Leonard will battle it out for the MVP, but its down to Harden and Westbrook I guess.
Yes now I do see them playing the Suns tonight.
But now they are questioning whether he will even dress for the second quarter. So the streak continues. Grin
Westbrook got 7 turnovers already and he is the only one who got that with 5:39 minutes to play in the 3rd quarter. I guess he can have not just triple double tonight but a possible quadruple double with turnovers. Anyway, I'm excited to witness Westbrook making history.
7383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: April 08, 2017, 02:26:11 AM
Precisely small investment make sense in a way that it can still provide positive in fact to other investors because once small investment clicks in a matter of time it will definitely attracts more investor and this small investment in a matter of time might turn big.

Yes, even it would be only small investments that will make sense. It's also a challenge for those people that had small amount and wants it to grow. And I believe that big things are coming from small ones and once it started to show it's success that will end up to grow. Think about you'll start an investment with big amount and suddenly you'll lose.
Have you ever tried to invest before? No, aren't you? You don't know anything in investment, you need to learn how investment works, about their kelly, about how much bankroll of gambling sites, how big/small your investment will contribute to bankroll.
There is no such thing "big things are coming from small ones", in other words, you said you will be able to make 1 btc profit from 0.01 btc investment? Try it.
There is also no such thing "an investment with big amount and suddenly you'll lose.", unless you were invested your money in HYIPs/Ponzies sites.
Correct and even if there is an investment that offers such a thing then you need to know that such an investment is probably a scam or an HYIP, you are probably better off buying a lottery ticket with that amount of money and hoping to win with it.
All kinds of investment are risky and the have different risk depends on the level depends on the type of investment you are venturing.
When an investment offers great return it is normally a high risk investment but your performance really matters a lot because if you know what you are doing it will normally bring good results.
7384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your game and why? on: April 06, 2017, 06:02:37 AM
My favorite gambling game is slot machine, there are so many different ones, with so good graphics and nice bonuses, great prizes. But I don't have enough to play them all the time, slots require big bankroll. In mean time I play poker, sports, dices, I like roulette also. All gambling games are good to me just depends how my bankroll is and I choose game by that.
Do you often enough get a winning when you play slot machine? I don't think so.
Slot machine really feel so fun when you hit high multiplier , it is feel like a dream to get that prize.
The only problem is you cannot win too often , the chance very low and yeaaa when you play with small bankroll you will guaranteed ended up bankrupt.
This game should be played occasionally because it does not give you a good chance to win and if you will stick with it until the end, it's no surprise that you will lose your money. Games are fun really but that involves risk as well and in order to fully get the fun you need to learn how to minimize it and that is not to gamble so much on games that does not give you an edge or games with bigger edge than you.
7385  Other / Archival / Re: Do you agree with idea "Bitcoin bank" ? on: April 06, 2017, 05:50:25 AM
Why would you want the bank to store your coins when you can yourself. That's the point of bitcoin you are the bank.

Yes. You are the bank, the manager and the CEO. Who doesn't like that?
It would be more work if you want a bank. Calling them just for confirmation and other stuff that needed your attention.
Oh one more, the government could trace it, if you have stuffs that needs to be paid they will take it there without your consent.
That is how banks work with the officials. Is that cool? NO! That is stealing.
If you could prove that bank officials are corrupt I would agree with your statement, banks are operating based on the banking laws and that law was created to serve and protect the depositors. I do not think in any way that banks will steal as per your term but freeze in real term without any valid reason, I'm pretty sure they do that in compliance with the law and if one government agencies issues a freeze order against you and usually it's the AMLC.
7386  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: April 06, 2017, 05:36:45 AM
Fast transactions. Easy to use and the best is no bank needed.I feel empowered using bitcoin .
For me is cheap fees, I'm very glad if you send to different countries only charge $0.2, if using a bank transfer for about $20. Bitcoin is the best payment method and beat paypal.
And this is also faster than the bank, when you sign up to make a bitcoin wallet it's easy and fast while with bank they have to go through the process and will require you the necessary documents in order for you to get approved. That is the big difference on a centralized and a decentralized system.
7387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: April 06, 2017, 02:57:21 AM
Online gambling is the best and especially with bitcoins as you dont' have to disclose your privacy so people around you will never know that you are into the world of gambling which is never possible with real gambling but visiting real casino is always a fun.


Online and real has their own advantages. With what I can see on them, they are both the best. There are players / gamblers that loves anonymity and wants to remain silent while gambling online. And there are people that wants exposure and loves more the action at real gambling. It will always depend on the gamblers taste.
I think the trend now is online gambling, people are busy and they are more focus with their job to make money but still there are room to enjoy, we are lucky that bitcoin gambling sites are getting more and more popular because we can choose a lot of games to play. For me, I would prefer online gambling as there are no casinos in our place, and with just click away I can do it online so it's very convenient.
7388  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin benefit of saving for a long time? on: April 06, 2017, 02:23:56 AM
Most of the Bitcoin long term holders I've seen so far have not been disappointed by the currency. I think that seeing your holdings going up in value should be something good, but something even better is the possibility of having total control over your own money, without having to depend on third parties.
Yay, long-term holders of bitcoin except those are buying the bitcoin on the ATH. Bitcoin is full with the volatility, the result of your long-term hold depends on your early start to get on the bitcoin itself. Although those are still keeping his money on the SPV wallet and i can say if they are having total control of their bitcoin.
You need to have a long term plan if you go for saving bitcoin for a long time, it's necessary so you would not make a stupid decision when you see people are panicking because of the dump. It's normal to bitcoin that when there is a bad news the FUDDERS will play and if you are not fully educated, you might make an outright decision in selling your bitcoin in a cheap amount.
7389  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: April 05, 2017, 06:18:38 AM
Mostly I will divide my money into two because half of the amount I will save in bitcoin and rest of the amount I will withdraw them to my fiat currency because it is not a wise to save everything in bitcoin.

I think most people do indeed do this including me. Since we did have to save in the form of fiat and cannot do everything for bitcoin. too risky, even though we know bitcoin can be very profitable.
It's very important to take care of your needs first then the rest is for investment, the rule here is to invest what you can afford and although bitcoin is a good investment but you cannot eliminate the risk. The risk is it might not succeed and you will lose all your money, so if all is put in investment your journey will also end when bitcoin failed.
7390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to make a good amount with 0.01BTC? on: April 05, 2017, 06:09:58 AM
this is gambling we are talking about so there really isn't a fool proof method to make a certain amount of money with it. you just have to try and have the most fun you can while hoping you get lucky.

with 0.01BTC you can simply make 1 bet on dice with a 2x multiplier which is about 50-50 chance of winning and then win 0.01BTC easy in one click.

Or make your 0.01 BTC gone in an instant.  Gambling is like a double edge sword, can make you win or can make you lose but with the house edge it is more incline that we will lose. Anyway with 0.01, removing gambling from the scene, can give you a domain and a hosting, if you know how to blog then probably your 0.01 BTC will give you a good amount in due time.  Else you can trade altcoins or invest in ICO. 
I would not do it with gambling as I know how hard it is and the reality will strike that we lose most of the time. You want to grow your money and to grow your money you have to take risk but choose the risk that you can calculate and that gives you a good chance. Trading is the best option to me, buy altcoins, XRP and STEEM are cheap now, who know's you can make a fortune with that coins.
7391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: April 05, 2017, 03:21:42 AM
It's probably something that requires a lot of discipline and willpower, but I do not think it's that difficult. As long as you know to immediately recognize the limitations of this game, and the consequences of staying in it for too long, your mind will be able to make a greater effort to keep you away from it.
You are definitely right, it's only easy to enter in gambling but when you get addicted you will be having a hard time to quit. However, you have your mission and you must do that otherwise it will totally destroy your life, gambling is always good but being addicted with it is the bad thing.
For new gamblers, they should learn from the experience of others and instead of being aggressive, they have to slow down to control themselves.

Tanong ko lang po ahh, may chances po ba na kapag kagaya kong newbie may mapagkikitaan ako habang nagpaparank pa lang po ako?Salamat po sa pag sagot.

Oo basta may twitter ka o facebook. Sali ka sa mga social media campaign malalaki din bayad dun dipende at sa follower mo. May mga tumatanggap din ng newbie dun tsaka siagnature campaign may tumatanggap din ng newbie 777 sig ata. O gawa ka ng mga simple task sa service section babayaran ka nila ng maliit na halaga pero malaking tulong na yon sa mga nag sisimula palang
Take it for example the EDGELESS, they have a successful ICO and their bounty hunters are really happy now with the reward. I guess the reward of twitter bounty was scheduled for release already, actually twitter campaign is very easy unlike signature campaign but both gives great income if combine.
7393  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we Manipulate Bitcoin price? on: April 04, 2017, 07:50:08 AM
It gets harder and harder as the market cap raises, but we are still at a point where bitcoin is small enough to be heavily manipulated.
the price will be more difficult to manipulate when bitcoin scattered in many countries to all corners of the world. so it will be increasingly difficult manipulator to manipulate demand and supply ?
That's why we should focus more on the increase of adoption or volume than the increase of value, with huge volume of holders it will lessen the power of the whales to manipulate the price. I believe the longer bitcoin exist, it will continue to increase its popularity as it is the foundation of the whole crypto currencies, and as a foundation it should be the most dominant and the strongest among others.
7394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how strong is bitcoin really? on: April 04, 2017, 07:23:09 AM
bitcoin is not so strong enough in case of security and it can be hacked as it happen during the bitfinex attack. well the bitcoin is so strong that it can run without any government people and it can totally by itself for the world to keep going.
it is not about bitcoin, it is because bitfinex security system is not good enough and hackers attacked and change all the address. Dont blame Bitcoin, it is very good right now. If you do not like Bitcoin, you can change to another type of currency
That's completely correct, exchange sites are more prone to hacking because it is where a lot of money are stored, and because of that people lose their money not because of their negligence but because of a certain site. I hope that will serve as a learning experience for those who lose their money not to trust their money in one site only although it's a popular exchange sites.
7395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do with the people who don't like Bitcoin? on: April 04, 2017, 07:00:46 AM
Why force them to do anything ? If they dont want to use it, they dont need to. Most people who dont like it are in the first world and really dont have any problems that bitcoin can immediately solve for them.

We can't force them to like bitcoin, and it doesn't really matters if they like it or not. In my point, they must have a valid reason why they don't like bitcoins, or if they are even using it. And I don't think they hate bitcoin because it gives a lot of opportunities especially to business mans, entrepreneurs and investors.
Exactly, it's good to see if people do use bitcoin when they understand and satisfied with the system to bring benefits into their lives, most traders would not only rely with bitcoin as nowadays there are altcoins that has a good potential to compete with bitcoins.
7396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you store your bitcoins? on: April 04, 2017, 05:51:17 AM
Best way to store bitcoins is to store it in multiple wallets and you could store it as well in your computer and put some extra security features in it so that you know that your money is safe.
Well for me i dont really have lots of bitcoins to store lol
Right now, online security is getting stronger but it's not advisable to keep all your bitcoins online because it would be more safer if it's offline to minimize the risk. Also for online storage, it's good if you learn how to diversify your coins and put additional security features like 2FA if it's possible in your online wallet. Always monitor the site where you put your money and never trust it in exchange site as they are prone to hacking.
7397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: April 03, 2017, 07:34:07 AM
Well sometime ago i havent believe it would be possible to bitcoin to loose its power, but the last days the split that might happen, will damage a lot bitcoin, and we do saw the market is looking for another options to keep and protect their money.

Price is recovering again and its started to regain its position so I don't think that there will be any big issue related to the future of bitcoins as it will continue to survive even in near future as people are showing faith in bitcoins by putting their money into it so I don't think that people are looking for any other option.
It's good to see the price is rising while ETH and DASH who might replace bitcoin in the future is now down, it has a different results actually and this is fun because if you are smart enough you will be able to take advantage on the price swing and make money in a short period of time.
7398  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Taxation on the alts on: April 03, 2017, 06:26:07 AM
Hey

How do you calculate taxes on alt-coins bought and sold with Bitcoin? For example if i bought 10 bitcoins worth of Monero, and monero rose 10% and i decides to sell for that extra bitcoin, how does that become taxed? Furthermore if/when i decide to sell the 11 bitcoin i now have for fiat, how might that be taxed? Thank you in advance.

Of course you absolutely owe taxes on alt-coins. Don't let the fools here convince you otherwise and risk your profits.
So I'll assume your in the U.S.  In that case you owe capitol gains on the profits you made. It looks like your gain was 10%. If you paid $1 for your alt (I'm using $1 to keep it simple) and your alt rose to $1.10, then you owe a percentage of that $0.10 profit.
The rate (percentage you owe) varies depending on your tax bracket. It could be 0% or sometimes as high as 15%. But 10% is normal. In this example you owe $0.01 to the government.

If you failed to pay you could be charged penalties, late fees, interest on the penny, and may face jail time; and you still owe the penny. That's not likely for a penny, but there is absolutely no question of taxation on alts or any money you make.
Sure, it is an asset and you can be charged for it, but that doesn't change that it's pretty easy to avoid and tax.  You're only charged taxes because your earnings are in it, but you can always take them out somewhere for cash or go through some basic methods and avoid taxes without "evading" them.
To avoid being tax is like you are laundering your money for your favor, it is not good because if there is a law that really requires you to pay taxes you will have to follow it if you do not want your money will be compromise in the future. Though it's anonymous but it can be easily trace if the government will do actions to strictly impose it, remember that the government has all the power to do that.
7399  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: April 03, 2017, 06:20:59 AM
I think investing in reputed altcoins is the best thing to do as it is sure that they will not disappear in quick time and in long run can give us good returns on our investments and the other place where I am interested is to invest in good casino bank rolls to get regular returns.
however it does not provide certainty. because many famous altcoin which has a high price, but only a few days later their prices dropped dramatically. there is no safer investment in the world. famous altcoin not guarantee that we will reap the benefits.

If you want to make profits then you cannot think of the risk every time as it will always follow you in any investment and if you will never take any risk then you will never make any profits so profits and risk goes in hand in hand so doing a good research if mandatory before investing your money anywhere.
Risk is always part of the game even though it is trading or gambling or even investment there is always risk involved. Good research will do the rest of the things you need to finish, i.e good research will help you to decide faster than before and it will help to clear out things you may be confused about and last and the most important is, it will minimize the risk of losing money so it is a good practice to do research always.
Being fully knowledgeable will increase your chance of success in investment and it does not guarantee that you will be succcessful because investing is a gamble and luck also is a big factor. For me, the best investment is where you can utilize yours skills and interest because it will be considered as your passion which most likely will give you success.

Clear naman nakalagay sa fee's nila ang estimated number of hours para mag confirm.
Ako free lang ginagamat ko tapos umaabot talaga ng 24 hours bago mag confirm, di na sila tulad ng dati na instant and free lang.

uu nga boss unlike before na mabilis lang talaga ung pag send ng btc ngayon inaabot talaga ng 24hrs pero okay lang din naman kasi nag inform naman sila about this changes, well for me un lang naman ung nabago pero pag ung cash out same pa rin nman, at the best pa rin ung coins.ph para sa ting mga pinoy madami kang options.
I guess they are making that move to save on the transaction fees and since they are the best exchange site in the country they can do anything they want. Still for the coins.ph is the best as long the egive cash out is always working, it will give us convenient in cashing out our income.
