We have good economic now since we have new administration, I can say that the growth of economy is increasing that good.
For sure as the time goes by it will be more better.
in our country the the economic situation is not too good, but now our country economic situation is going improving and hope that in future it will be too good. because now our country security situation is improving.

Yes, and the economic situation is very difficult in my country. But I hope that the new government will correct this situation. I hope that there will be changes for the better in the near future
The fixing of that situation will take time and there is no assurance that a country will improve under a new government. I'm in a country where it's not that progressive but I'm seeing a solution to make money by converting my fiat to bitcoin, that way I will be able to store its value and grow it overtime.

Actually, bitcoin gives us the opportunity to solve that problem and if we can attract more people from countries with the same situation as we experience, it will help bitcoin grow due to adoption and that is a win-win situation in our part.

Trading is always the best and easy source of bitcoin, the thing is you can sleep with open trades because crypto world never sleeps, soo you may loose a good opportunity to make easy money at there, even know there are risks as well.

Trading is risky but the risk can be reduced if you do proper research before investing your money into it and trading is available 24/7 so if you actively participate in it then you can make good profits at any point of time but I don't think its that easy to make money from trading as sometimes you need to wait for a longer period of time even to make small profits.
Well, if you are not willing to take the risk then you should not be trading at all, that's how it goes and risk is part of the game. Trading although risky is a good source of income but only if you are doing well already, we can start with a small amount if we are still learning and that is a big advantage of trading altcoins as it gives even those people who are only having micro earnings a chance to start their journey.
7503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: March 04, 2017, 01:47:31 PM
An innovation always makes people active for a long. In such a manner people who truly understand the potential and strength it has in all forms prefer bitcoin over fiat though the acceptance is quite low at the moment.
I look at the entire scenario of the comparison, in general I prefer to the most valuable to the majority because they decide what should remain or what should be eliminated.

Fiat has served us for years already and we have no problem using it as a currency, and if you compare that to bitcoin as currency, you can already tell who are the most trusted and the easy answer is fiat all the time.

Bitcoin can only give us a benefits in life if we are an investor because of the demand which we can prove what is happening recently. But this investment or asset that we are trusting as still in it's risky stage since the government has yet to determine on how to officially regulate it.
7504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin the future of online gambling? on: March 04, 2017, 06:54:37 AM
it definitely is, because of anonymity. People dont want to pay with their credit cards online and things like Paypal are not secured at all

i think this is the good reason for the gamblers as they don't need to use their credit cards to playing gambling because using credit cards in online is too risky and could give bad experience when our credit cards data has been stolen. but if we use bitcoin, i think its a bit safe because we are not giving our details in any website and this is my reason when i want to make deposit in gambling sites.
Yes it was also the reason why I prefer to gamble with bitcoin than credit cards. Not everyone has a credit card and it is also risky as you said very vulnerable to data theft. If using bitcoin is very easy to use and my identity is very secret, so safe. Especially now began many gambling sites that use bitcoin, so it may be true bitcoin will be the future of online gambling.
When bitcoin was not introduced, we are really force to gamble using our credit cards or a bank transfer, worst scenario when your information get hack and chances are your money is gone. Bitcoin solve that problem and it's just it's just right to promote bitcoin gambling site to spread awareness of the people or gamblers who are tired of the conventional way. It's easier to gamble with bitcoin and they should be getting such convenience as what we enjoyed.
7505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Operating a BTC gambling site - Worth it? on: March 04, 2017, 06:37:14 AM
Don't bother, community is truly saturated with all kinds of gambling services plus a few of the best casinos are owned by admins and staff here so you'll probably need to advertise heavily, I noticed that you said no matter what we say you'll do whatever you want, so do whatever you like but be prepared to get rekt Cheesy
It's not good to lose one's interest in having their own, the business is not that saturated as you think, we are getting more adopters now. The competition will always make gambling sites serves the gamblers with the best because they will also want to be on top so they maintain or improve their business. But since this is a big business, you also need a bigger amount to start, otherwise just don't do it.

Considering the advertising cost would already cost your much, you much has some back up funds for your bankroll to attract gamblers.

Please everyone, do no think it's easy to run a business, establishing is the easiest part only but to maintain it, that's a bigger challenge.
7506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Win using martingale system? on: March 04, 2017, 06:06:55 AM
Martiangle is a great way to make quick profit so do not leave it for a long term or it will result loss
I'm ever try to use martiangle and I got significant profit but I was too greedy until I got loss streak in a row. I'm also try different method like high risk martiangle which more riskier than normal martiangle but the profit are better !

Sure, if we use martingale for a longer time, the chance to get long red streaks will be higher. It is better to run it for awhile and stop after we doubled our starting balance or try other method. But frankly, such trick won't work forever. Sometimes we can lose our starting balance before we able to get even a small profit.
That's not hard to understand, any method or you called it a trick will not work overtime, we should know what we are playing, if there's a house edge of course that will prevail over our so called trick. No one can beat the house in the long run, and that is the fact that everyone must know.
If you are still in doubt about that, check the gambling sites status now, they are staying profitably and that would already prove doubts.
7507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: March 03, 2017, 11:56:43 AM
Anyone gambling for profit is an idiot.

You  can gamble for the hope of winning, or the sensation you get when you win.
But gambling for profit is not only dangerous, it's also stupid.

Those words are harsh. If you don't gamble for profit then what else was gambling instituted for? The very house/bookmakers are there to make profit so if you have a different reason for gambling apart from what the house had then you better check yourself. If you bet for the sake of fun then you're better off donating your bankroll to an orphanage or social support where you can be congratulated by the less privileged and I bet they'd more fun than gambling.
I guess we just have to respect whatever our purpose here, as long as we are using our own money it's our right to decide on what to do. Gambling for profit is not stupid at all, not all people can just let go of their loses and be happy with it. We are living in a real world where money makes the world go round so basically we need money and one of the reason why we are gambling is because we want to have it instant and easy.
7508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: March 03, 2017, 11:47:33 AM
Chicago Bulls 94 - 87 Golden State Warriors
Phoenix Suns 120 - 103 Charlotte Hornets
Portland Trail Blazers 114 - 109 Oklahoma City Thunder
Kevin Durant was absent and Golden State Warriors have lost this game because of unstable in second half unlike the last L against Wizards. Are there some kind of connection between this? I hoping there somebody can explain this weird situation I got here, are Kevin Durant the future MVP of Golden State Warriors? At first, I was really doubt about his moving from Thunder to Warriors, but now his slam dunk and blocking shot skill is special for Warriors.

rare occurrence in the night, Golden State losing two consecutive games in the regular season.
 It was from 146 matches that had not lost two consecutive games in the regular season.
Certainly the absence of Durant has affected the result and even the little accuracy with shots from 3-points for S.Curry.
Golden State took Matt Barnes (36 years old) to replace temporarily Durant. He has already played Golden State between 2006 and 2008.
Durant is in a level of the superstars and Barnes is not on that level now, they need Durant because he is a big part of the offense of the warriors. There defense is not that good like the last season sense they prefer to get more offensive by sending plenty of players to different teams.
This loses should make them learn that they cannot be to overconfident despite getting the number 1 seed of in this season, and also never underestimate Bulls who loves to play with Elite team.

As far as I remember, they beat Spurs, Cavaliers, and now they have their revenge with warriors. No excuse for the warriors as when Bulls were defeated at their home, Wade and Butler were not able to play that time.
7509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I failed to make a fortune as an early bitcoin adopter? on: March 03, 2017, 06:20:51 AM

And everyone here right now is still an early adopter.

Looks promising today with gold parity being the headline today.
Very promising but despite the fact that I am not one of the early adopter, I was able to manage to ride with the success. Making money in short term trade is very good at this moment as seems like the price is very predictable which mostly moves in one direction only which is UP.
Time to hold on a little bit and though temptation is out there to sell but I am keeping my promise to hold on for better return.
7510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: March 03, 2017, 05:35:13 AM
I think investing is more risky than gambling because most of investing websites are just scam, but in gambling you have better chances to make your bitcoin grow. How about you guys what do you think?

Maybe in your statement it is just your opinion only and base on your knowledge was. Although I respect your view regarding this things. Investing is not better if you invest it in a ponzi schemes type, but if you invest it in the right business kind it will become profitable for you, which surely your capital will be roll up and grow.
You're right dude maybe he's just assumed that investing means you will invest your money in a ponzi schemes or hyip actually there are many ways for investing your money like investing on casinos online or invest in ICO coins in that way you could lessen the risk
If that is his understanding then he doesn't know the real definition of investment. That act of putting your money in ponzi is called gambling, that gives you bigger risk with good reward but the probability of success is very low as they will just go scam when they accumulated a good amount already.
Sure we can find different investment opportunity but let us make sure we will not get tempted and get fooled by investments with a too good to be true return.
7511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: March 02, 2017, 01:07:00 PM
I think, in gambling, fun and profit are two things that we can't separated. We won't able to enjoy the game if we can't win for a longer time just like any other games. For me, I play gambling for both fun and profit. But for sure, sometimes I can't get both of them.

Exactly, we can't achieve both things. When we win than definitely we get fun but when we lose than i don't think that anyone will be here who get fun from lose his money. And about profit, So i believe everyone play gambling because of profit. Profit is a main reason to play the gambling.
Having fun while getting a profit is our ultimate goal, however seems like it's very hard to achieve it due to the fact that we have no advantage over the house. For me, after doing it for several tries, I have already surrendered and accepted the reality that winning or losing we should be having fun, or else we will not enjoy gambling all the time.
7512  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: March 02, 2017, 07:44:50 AM
I use the fiat every day. I can not live a single day when I will not have fiat currency. That's why I believe in fiat. This may not be the most profitable currency, but I have to use it
So do I, that's why we should not be choosing between the two as both of them can give convenience to us. They have different purpose but they have one common purpose which is to give the people the convenience in transaction. For now, this is our means to transact so we have to enjoy using it and if there's a way that we can benefit from it through investment they we should gladly grab it.
Fiat is for transactions and without fiat we cannot transact easily, therefore we have to believe in fiat because everyday in our life we are using it.
Bitcoin for me is more on investment than a currency because it has no value if we do not use it, while fiat the value will remain because we are force to use it, see the difference, bitcoin gives freedom to us but fiat tied us to the governmental laws and regulation to comply.
Anyway that's life, fiat is invented first than bitcoin so it's more powerful and popular to the majority.
7513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: March 02, 2017, 07:21:46 AM
Tonight's Cavaliers vs Celtics match up is interesting. Cavs are without Love, JR. Smith and the new addition Andrew Bogut while Celtics are without Gerald Green. It is happening at TD Garden( Celtics Home) and they are bookmarkers favorites as of now but only slight. Head 2 Head, Cavs have won the previous 2 meetings this season but the games were close. I predict that Celtics take this one at 1.83x.  

They are already on the third quarter and Celtics has a lead of 3 points with the score of 74-71. And I don't know why Cavs is doing this things and keep on getting new players, aren't they good enough and they still need to get Bogut for their next games? I don't understand, still whatever they do they lost to GSW.
The players they have recently got is solely to improve the bench which isn't that great honestly. Deron Williams would cut it as starter for a lot of teams and he's the backup PG for Cavs now. Cavs also lacked a big man as I don't see a decent one other than the starter, Tristan Thompson. Bogut will bring the much welcomed additional height to the team for rebounds and a good bench player as well. I think these were really good acquisitions and could be Championship winning move.
well maybe a lots of adjustment still needed as the season now is getting closer to the play off the point of getting new players is good to math up with the western team cavs needed to make good blending of their newly hired members, i lost my bet considering lebron and irving are really trying to win that match but home court advantage really place the win for Celtics.
The absence of Kevin love is a big factor, with Love, the cavaliers can help them to win and probably can take a win even playing at Celtics home.
Also, I am quite hesitant to bet on the line because based on my experience, when cavaliers are not heavy favorites, they lost most of the time.
Anyway, too much excuses from me, I have to give credit to the Celtics who is the hottest team right now in the east, they are getting better every season.
7514  Economy / Economics / Re: Where can i invest my money? on: March 01, 2017, 02:18:08 PM
Put your money in an exchange site, buy altcoins and start trading.  Or you  can start investing your money in some legit investment site. But the most easy way to earn btc is through trading altcoins.

I'm not sure that is the best way. I think there is too great risks. You can simply buy Bitcoin. If you do it will hold, soon multiply your capital
You think that there is high risks in altcoin trading because you didn't try it yet. If you try altcoin trading then your beliefs now will change and you will fall in love in altcoin trading. I also do altcoin trading and i'm one of the proof that it is the best source of income and i already earned at least 5 bitcoins in that field.
There is risk in  trading but you have face it in order to conquer it, if you feel you do not have the courage to face it then just don't enter on it.
Trading can give us good profit but we have to risk our money to make money or literally to grow it. People will always say that altcoins trading is very risky because when they failed they do not try it again and just make a negative conclusion directly.
Sure that there are a lot of shitcoins but with enough knowledge, you can stay away from those and focus your funds in legitimate altcoins that could give you a good return.
Anyway, my experience was investing in ICO, and it's profitable.
7515  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: March 01, 2017, 01:50:31 PM
Like many people already said is that the paper money future is not so good because it has the digital word against.
Everything these days will get digital the world is really changing.
I think the future really will make paper money dies or no longer used. now even been seen that digital money is already starting to master in any transaction.
Yes indeed now digital money is already widely used for transactions but I think it will not make paper money is gone / dead. Digital money that is widely used now only as an alternative payment and it does not decrease interest in the use paper money. Paper money will always be there and circulate because there will always be used for direct transactions, until now the demand paper money is still high. For the next 10 years paper money is still will always be used.
It's better to always be conservative with our prediction, this world does not only run for selected people. We have a big population that composes of different status in life, digital money is very effective to those who need and wants to use it. But look outside the box, you will see that in the other side, majority of the population are still not into technology when it comes to online transaction and they will remain dependent on transacting using paper money.
7516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can u lose with gambling? on: March 01, 2017, 01:10:30 PM
I can afford to lose till i want to play maybe 0.2 bitcoin in a week or in a row i really enjoyed playing gambling because the excitement i get from it the experience the fun i get from entertaining people i met i don't problem loosing bitcoin because i had some business to do and to earn bitcoin with.

Wow, I can't afford to lose such big amount... You must be a European or residing on places near that because it seems that money is not that hard to earn for you...  Smiley

Anyway, I can't do that, and as far as I remember, the last amount that I remember being deposited in my bankroll was .01 only and nothing more than that... Usually I play with giveaways and from faucets and of course from tips...  Smiley
That proves that the definition of so much is based on our capital, like marcuslong, he can afford to lose that amount but for us it's already too much. Our status in life varies but we should be all sitting in the safe side, one can enjoy gambling regardless of the amount he puts as long as thrill and excitement is always there.
7517  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You only lose if... on: March 01, 2017, 07:49:52 AM
You only lose if you give your bitcoin first if your selling it because there are so much scammers online you can not trust any one. So if you do that i promise you will loose your bitcoin. And also do not sell it in cheap price because you may not know as it is beggining to be more papular its value is getting more expensive.
By just looking at the price movement or the price entirely, will not let you know if it's expensive or not. The smartest way to determine is to understand how that price arrive at the point, and you cannot determine that if you are just guessing when you invest and when you trade.
There are relevant news that is circulating on a daily basis, take it as you daily vitamins to feed yourself with relevant information, that way you'll understand everything and your actions always has basis. You'll then buy and sell at the right time.
7518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: March 01, 2017, 07:27:30 AM
when addictive gambling, it would be very difficult to get out of the game stretcher, especially when you're playing, you're probably not going to give up until you run out of money. Well, keep control of yourself when gambling.

It's all in the mind.

All man has his weakness, but when it comes to things that concerns our future, it should be strengthen.

Most of the time a gambler cannot quit because he is weak and probably not just weak physically, but weak in decision  making and lacks enthusiasm to be in the real world and of course, the famous reason, "laziness", they always have reason for anything which are most of the time not a valid one.
In the first place he should not be gambling at all, there is no room for success on weak people here, though it's fun but it's a very dangerous type of game. We nee to be aware of the risk to be able to control it by minimizing the risk, only when a person is responsible enough to manage both his losing and winning moments will make him safe even in the long run.
7519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: March 01, 2017, 05:47:45 AM
as far as I know in gambling you only win because of luck, but if you don't have it of course you will always loss most of the time.

You can win with luck and some knowledge of course. People that with suitable knowledge you can even conquer the world. You can win with investment on a gambling site. Thats how you win rather than relying on your luck when you gamble because we know that these kind of things wont really happen anyway

Luck is important along with knowledge and experience to be successful. People with expertise in analysis make better chance of winning than a person who just depending on luck. Investment in gambling website is different from gambling, because the risk of investing into gambling website is an assured profit compared to the gambling or risking our money.
That's correct and since investing in gambling sites requires a decent amount for great returns, almost majority of the gamblers cannot afford to invest as most of them want instant money which aims to double their money easily. Still there's always a chance to succeed although the chance are low, with good analyses in your end, you have a chance to be profitable in the long run but refrain from betting games with house edge as they are only good for fun.
7520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: February 28, 2017, 08:42:26 AM
If you are going to take gambling seriously for sure it can make your life controlled by it. It's hard to see people that are being manipulated by their own addiction and that isn't smart at all. But if you are going to let the game roll in your hands without any emotion but to have fun and have some small portion of winning, then you are doing it good.

Emotions definitely has nothing to do with being addicted. It is part of your brain that actually made it happen, when you think of it as a source of making money ( I mean the only source of making money ) then you are going to be addicted to it especially when you win quite an amount from the site

I consider that as emotion...  Smiley

Anyway, being smart in gambling has nothing to do with the way we bet, but rather with the way we get out of it and gain something.... With that said, rushing on betting when we win and lose would just make the process faster but that doesn't  guarantee profit...

Invest in the house, spreading your referral to as many as you can and avoid betting and if you can't resist, use only dust, that would make you gain more... Smiley
That will not fit to our purpose to be profitable in gambling, aiming for profit will require us to put a decent amount and we know the reward in gambling is bigger and faster than investing in gambling sites. Gamblers usually take bigger risk but only up to the tolerable amount as if we risk money that we can no longer afford, we know the consequences of it and we might end up living in the streets.
