7561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: February 01, 2017, 06:18:03 AM
many people don't have access to real gambling because in many countries it is not allowed. I usually play online gambling because just need computer and internet facility. but real gambling has the best experience
in real gambling while playing gambling in casinos, there is special kinds of feeling, you are always satisfied either you are making money or loosing. some people argued that they play gambling for fun and enjoyment, they become refresh from day work when they visit a casino, but i think these things are not possible from online gambling. although online gambling also have some advantages.
With the current situation that bitcoin is already popular in online gambling, I guess, many will prefer to do it online. Those who want to enjoy does not need to effort going to a popular casinos to play as they can do it at home, in addition, the security that we can get with bitcoin online gambling is pretty amazing, something that could attract sharks bettors.
7562  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Really The Future Of Money? on: February 01, 2017, 03:26:49 AM
Yes yes why not!?
Bitcoin is definitely the future of money.
Everyday the popularity of bitcoins is increasing and I assume that by 2020 almost 2-3 billion people will be using bitcoins as a source of their transactions.
This can happen as bitcoin is a very smart way of paying or receiving.
Not only bitcoin can be viewed as a source of trading but also as an investment due to the volatile cost of bitcoins.This would help people of earn fast money as a side word along with the job they do.
Trading via bitcoins is definitely a good source of having transactions as it would save the resources and labour used to create the physical form of a currency.
Thus ,we conclude that bitcoin may be the future of transactions and currency if all things from now go in favour of them.

Three billion people using bitcoin in 2020 seems a huge target. You are taking about nearly a half of the global population. I would be happy, and it would be a great achievement to arrive to the figure of 20% of people becoming bitcoin users around the world.
Not even that big, if you will know what percentage of people in this earth which are still under poverty, you will realize your figure is unrealistic, this people is not a potential user so 20% is still a big estimate. Maybe we should be happy with the recent achievement and a slow but consistent growth would already be vital for success.
7563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: February 01, 2017, 03:12:49 AM
The spurs are in a 2 losing streak, I have never seen them losing 3 in a row this season. This should be a game that they need to ensure a win, they are allowing big points lately but this time I think we can see a defensive Spurs. This is FUN!

As of watching now, Spurs is leading the game. They are now on 54 while Oklahoma City Thunders is on 42. But the game is still long and first half did just ended with that score. For sure they are now on fire and they want to get this game badly. And this is a good indicator that Spurs is playing well for this match, if they will play good until the end, losing streak ends.
Come one. Leads mean nothing in the NBA until the last 1:20 of play left at the end of the game.
I watched Pelicans have a 14 point lead at the end of the half as the visiting team. Then they screw it up in the third. Ends in OT with raptors winning.
So leads are not safe in the NBA until the last minute and a half of play.
It's different with strong teams, in this case, Spurs is a stronger team and we have seen them many times that they have the ability to manage their lead as they have the most intelligent coach in the NBA and players are so discipline. I like to put my money in Spurs because even if they lose, you will be still be satisfied as you know they fight til the end.
7564  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: February 01, 2017, 01:41:21 AM
After a big decline at the beginning of the year, bitcoin goes up and appears currently around 964$ on the main trading platforms.
Wait until March to see more clearly. According to experts the chances of success of the two ETF Bitcoin waiting for responses are rather thin, a double refusal should not be a disaster for the course (small decline still to be expected), on the other hand, if one of the two work, we can expect a good comeback. Grin
Let us ride to this one, the price is rising again and we will be near to $1,000. I guess it will happen soon, so I am not gonna sell my bitcoins now and wait until the price will start to be stable again. I like what I am seeing actually, I have been expecting this to happen and here it is, hope this will continue.
7565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: February 01, 2017, 01:23:46 AM
Some users choose gambling rather than investments because you can make a profit in the long run with betting but in putting it on investments it may lost with a blink of an eye cause there is more scammers than the legitimates on the world wide web.
Lol, on the long run you will lose when gambling. investing in trusted sites(not hyips but sites like crypto-games,bitdice etc or altcoins) is much better, the risk is everywhere whether you invest or gamble.
I think you have it the other way around. In gambling in one bet you will lose all your money in a blink of an eye. While in Investing even though we know it changes prices frequently but in the long run we will surely see a gain with it. You won't lose anything in investing if yoy don't sell your investments at a loss. Investing is also much safer and less risky.
You have a better chance in investing because you can learn along the way. In gambling, if your method is not working now and even you spend much time to improve it, you will not get the success if gambling is not for you.

Some are making money in consecutive period of time and they think they can abuse the gambling sites but they still failed in the end because gambling sites do adjust their system to defeat winners so in the long run they will be the one who still stand successful.
7566  Economy / Economics / Re: USD vs BTC on: January 31, 2017, 07:41:42 AM
not at all .usd is more popular than bitcoins .it is becoming more and more popular .as the price of bitcoins would increase day by  day it is becoming more and more popular but it would never go higher than usd.
but although bitcoin will become more famous in the future. it will not make bitcoin replace fiat fiat or even make disappear, the dollar will continue higher and popular than bitcoin
That's correct, bitcoin is already popular but not as popular as fiat or USD. I don't think it will be the mainstream currency of the world as this world is still manage and controlled by our government, they dictate things and implement what is right to be implemented. The government has their own fiat in digital form, so most likely it will be their version to compete with bitcoin.
7567  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When do you plan to sell? on: January 31, 2017, 06:12:50 AM
when I have a coin, maybe I will wait before selling all the coins I had. when my profits had remained above 30%, I would probably be selling it, because when you have a lot of coins, it would be an advantage very much for you. Well, then, you only have to wait for prices to go back down.

Its good to sell them for profits but make sure that you don't sell of them at once and keep some for the future as we never know where bitcoin will land in future and there is big chance that price of bitcoins will be much higher in future in compare to present so at that point of time we should have at least few coins in our hands to make good profits from it.
It's advisable to divide our investment for short term and long term, we can make profit with short team but most especially in the long term as the value of bitcoin is higher as time passes. Just never do anything like selling your bitcoins cheap, that prove you are part of the traders with weak hands, always keep your faith as that is your main key for future success.
7568  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we make more money? on: January 31, 2017, 05:55:30 AM
For trading, before the start I recommend you to watch the movement of altcoins. If you are already a market player you will understand easily but if you are not. It is not going to be easy for you. You have to understand to predict the movement, the speculations, stop-lost points, buy and sell timings. Believe me, it is not easy for a beginner.
Absolutely right, trading is not for a newbie and needs to learn and understand the market clearly and if enters into it without any knowledge and experience then it will bring huge loss for him in the beginning so if a newbie who still wants to go for trading without gaining knowledge is advised to start with small capital that he can afford to loose.
Trading are for those people who are interested to learn and want to earn, it doesn't matter if you are newbie because we all started as newbie and we come to that point that we are profitable because we learn along the way. Being newbie just needs to have some limitations with it comes to your capital, you are privilege you trade in crypto world since you can start with small amount of bitcoins.
7569  Economy / Economics / Re: You should never trust banks on: January 31, 2017, 02:48:51 AM
I still trust my bank, although you can't help but be skeptical at times, especially if you are entrusting them with huge amounts of money. Better to have more than one bank and diversify your deposits and transactions just so you can have more peace of mind. Also, today's hackers have leveled up their game and are more creative in finding ways to steal from these financial institutions. All the more that we should be careful with what we do with our hard earned money.
Banks do have insurance to protect our deposits, and if you want to ensure your money will be covered with full insurance, you need to read the terms and condition. It is right to diversify your deposits as they have maximum amount of insurance only and that varies from country to country. We should be aware also with our rights, as even if a certain bank break the rules, we can always go after them with the help of the authorities.
7570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Introducing bitcoin is not that easy on: January 31, 2017, 02:34:46 AM
Yesterday was a research forum of thesis school project and I actually did introduce in our system about using bitcoin as a payment processor aside from paypal,visa, bank transfer or whatsoever. I actually do assume it that no one actually cares so expected things did really happened.

 However there is this one jurry stated that bitcoin is really prawn to money laundering and he ask if how would a certain business owner risk it and that made me realize that he is somehow right and that leads to other quedtion about the exchanger sites which follows KYc policies to prevent or atleast minimize the risk of money laundering however it violates also the main feature of bitcoin which is the anonymous transactions

The only thing you need is the "trust" on the Bitcoin itself, if you don't even trust the Bitcoin how can you convince other people about it. If you already in doubt just because some statements/questions from a person, then you surely don't have enough trust on Bitcoin.
It is indeed hard to introduce Bitcoin to the mainstream people but if you believe in it, trust me it would be so much easier.

Convincing people around you would be possible only if you have good convincing power and good knowledge about bitcoin as its normal that people would be having lots of questions in their minds when you tell them about bitcoins and if you are not able to answer their question confidently then I am sure they will not trust bitcoins.
It would be easy to convince people who are potential that they can adopt with bitcoin, that is because the information is very transparent and one can access that in the internet in just a matter of seconds and he can do a deep research by his own so you do not need to explain further. However, there are people who really cannot comprehend with the technology and they will remain be using fiat.
7571  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Question: Parlay on: January 30, 2017, 07:31:58 AM
Parlay is good when you do not have enough bankroll to gamble in sports betting, I usually do this to raise a decent bankroll. I like to have a payout of at least 100 odds because with 0.001 minimum bet on one of my sports book it will give you BTC0.1. That will happen if you are lucky and I believe our luck will come at the right time. I did that because when I gamble with small bankroll, I became greedy and I end up losing in the end. This one is good because you can win big amount by doing constant parlay bets.
7572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: January 30, 2017, 06:44:47 AM
Yep, sometimes i feel shame for playing slots. And my gf makes me feel it even more, she literally hates me for that.

If it is already a relative of yours that's telling you, that means there is something wrong with the way you gamble... If it is your girlfriend, maybe she don't know that you are a gambler before...Don't worry about it, she'll get used to it once she saw you betting always... But if she is not comfortable because of it, maybe there's something that you need to change... A girl never reacts as long as what you are doing is not affecting here or if your gambling activity turns you into someone else that she don't know...  Smiley
but i think it is mostly relative with your society and your religion, if your religion and your society allow you to play gambling without feeling shame. but if you society do not allow you or your religion consider gambling as sin thn you must feel sham for that.
Is there really a society that does not allow people to gamble? if so, then they do not have the freedom. I am happy I live in a place where I can gamble anytime I want, I can do it with my friend and even with my relatives, that is how open we are because we always consider gambling as just a way of having fun. I even encourage them to gamble online and they are very receptive to it.
7573  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When do you plan to sell? on: January 30, 2017, 05:25:32 AM
My plan of selling is always changing, there are times that I'm saying to myself that I'm going to sell by the end of the year. But I can't avoid the emergency situations that I've been through and I don't have choice for it but to sell my bitcoins in order to make it as a solution to that problem, but still I manage to hold and remain some.
Emergency timing is good as at that time no one can stop to sell and provide money for that emergency but fro the other times i will say that t will be good if a person keep some price threshold for himself like if he keep that if the price reach to a certain level then he will sell then it is ok while keeping the time according to calendar is wrong and no one know that at which month the price will be high to earn us profit.

The bad thing about emergency timing is when the price is not good and you don't have choice because of your need, you'll sell at the price that you don't desire. I really did experience that for so many times and it always making me feel regret every time I'm going to sell but just like what I've said, I don't have choice but to sell.

A person who is full time into bitcoins and is the primary source of income then he will definitely sell his coins on regular basis as needs fiat to take of his living and basic stuffs and for the same reason he will prefer to sell some part of coins regularly but a person whose income is in fiat and earning bitcoins as an extra income will prefer to hold his coins for a long term.
If you consider bitcoin as your full time job then you are either be a day trader or online worker, or maybe both. You have to sell your bitcoins from time to time so you can buy your daily needs. However, you have a better chance to earn bigger income than in real life job because the opportunities you can find here are better than in real life. The competition is great but it is an honest competition and you will be rewarded by your real effort.
7574  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE CASINO - CONGRATULATIONS TO WONTON FOR WINNING 300BTC on: January 30, 2017, 02:04:05 AM
Annnd he gave back all he won unluckily, but he promised to be back. and remember his last words: "Luckily Bitcoins isn't real money"
I think he don't have any bitcoin ATM near by him, Bitcoin is real money by all sense.  Grin
It seems he don't care much about 100's of bitcoin but it is quite a lot for many of us.
Bitcoin is indeed money and i do agree on what you have said that he might not be interested on 100's of bitcoin because he does have thousands but he should withdraw that money he won on playing dice which is really big 300 bitcoin is not already a small amount on everyone of us here on bitcoin world.

It probably depends from country to country. But where I live BTC is not officially treat as money but an digital asset. That is actually good with such win since you could withdraw them and would not be taxable until you would convert them into money and would land in a bank account that resident in my country. 

Well if he gambled it back, then fro him dont really matter if BTC are real money or just a digital asset. He should not worry with paying taxes for it.
Every country for sure has the same definition, we think bitcoin is money but it is not really a real money. You are right, you will only pay taxes once you converted your bitcoin into fiat. So far, there is no regulation yet in our country so I can cash out my bitcoin into fiat without paying taxes. I just have to enjoy the moment since there is no law yet, I can gamble anytime and withdraw my profit, such a great opportunity to enjoy, right?
7575  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is Satoshi? Why did he hide his identity? on: January 30, 2017, 01:53:03 AM
I think it's not just hiding his identity, I think he wants to keep bitcoin decentralized, and if it has an "owner" it looks like any other government or country run currency.
This should remain anonymous and he should as well. Bitcoin is popular due to decentralization and the fact that the inventor is anonymous, there is no reason for him to show up, we love the current system and for me, it is best to stay this way.
Honestly, what would it do if Satoshi will reveal his personal identity when everything is opensource.

The government is doing what is right, we should not question their decision. In fact, we cannot use our bitcoin if we prefer to be anonymous online since if we choose to, we will not choose to convert our bitcoins to fiat which is made by the government. Exchange sites are like bank when it's regulated, they are directed to keep our personal or private information as a secret just like a bank secrecy law but required to submit necessary information to combat money laundering activities.
7577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Great way to make Bitcoin! on: January 29, 2017, 02:02:22 AM
The greatest ways to make bitcoins is from trading and from signature campaign and if you have any technical skills then it will be an added advantage as you can sell your services and can earn bitcoins regularly as you don't have to invest any money into it the only thing you invest is your time and efforts.
Trading is a good way to earn some money if you have the patience and the bank roll to enter the coin at the right time and to exit at a profit and multiply your coins but making money from signature campaign is not true as it is not easy to make the money as you say from a campaign as the rates are really low.

Yeah rates are very low and you cannot expect to make a huge money from signature campaigns as the payouts would be limited and won't take care of your living but its an good source of generating extra income which should not be spent and should save for the future and once you have saved enough coins then that should be invested in trading to make quick profits.
Probably it's a good start to earn since you will be encourage to be more active in the forum to get some kind of rewards, but along the way, we must mature and look for a better opportunity that could give us some decent amount of money. I like campaign but I can say it's not a great way to make Bitcoin.
7578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who here has the most Bitcoin? on: January 28, 2017, 11:56:43 AM
Anyone sane and still active will never tell publicly how much bitcoin he has if he has a lot. This is a question of security. If you say you have 10 000BTC do not worry that bad willed people will see it and will not let you in peace ! You will then be the target of daily attacks.
Probably those who said that they have that big amount of bitcoin are just making a joke, no one in its clear mind would ever do that. It requires certain intelligence and hard work to raise that amount of bitcoin and you could be very rich already. Rich people are not dumb to do stupid things to brag what you have, there is no need for others to know as there are plenty of hackers online and they are more intelligent that what you expected.
7579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: January 28, 2017, 10:53:03 AM
I want to know what you guys think about this, I have stopped gambling but still trade so does this mean I am still gambling?? I don't trade on basis of luck I trade using my skills would it still be considered gambling??

Please tell me what do you think.
If you trade with the knowledge you have acquired reading books and practicing then it is not gambling but an investment, but if you trade based on hunches or by relying on your luck then it is no different than gambling.

To take part in trading many people need lot of experience in market, he need to estimate when will price increases and when will price decreases. In gambling there is no need of any market estimation just we need investment to gamble.
Even if we do not have enough experience, we can still trade. We all started as newbie so most of us just learn from our experience to succeed. Trading is better than gambling in terms of earning money since in trading you can always analyze the real market and you will have a great chance if you are also lucky. Gambling is really different, you just have to consider it as a pure entertainment.
7580  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: [helping thread]Tanong mo sagot ko on: January 28, 2017, 03:33:25 AM
Hello sa lahat may gusto lang ako itanong kung may alam ba kayo na website kung saan pwede i cash out yung bitcoins ko thru smart money/padala? Kung meron man gaano katagal ang inantay nyo bago dumating yung pera?
Nakapag try na ako mag cash out thru smartmoney dati sa rebit.ph nag cash out ako ng umaga tapos 2 hours lang nandyan na. 5400 yun tapos may charge na 50. ewan ko lang ngayon kung magkano na charge nila.
Medyo mataas kasj fee sa rebit pero atleast legit site yun. If gusto mo less fee,or kung may smart money card ka pwede din peer to peer trade gawin mo hanap ka gusto bumili btc tapos trade kayo. Soon baka i add na din nang coins ph ang smart money sa cashout

mag gcash na lamang kayo mga sir kasi ako nakiki gcash lang sa barkada ko napaka bilis pa instant pa ito, or kaya mag security bank na lang kayo yun yung way ko para mag withdraw ng mabilis, baka ngayon nga kumuha na rin ako ng sarili kong gcash para hindi ako nakikigamit sa tropa ko.

ako security lang palagi kasi dumadaan ako palagi sa bangko e, sa security wala pang kaltas saka mabilis rin instant ang pag cash out mo. na try ko dati sa cebuana ay sos sobrang tagal pero nakalagay lang dun ay 10-30 mins meron na pero halos inabot aako ng kalahating araw bago ko makuha.
So far in terms of service, Egive cash is the best due to the fact that it is faster and no charge at all. I have been constantly cashing out my bitcoins and most of the time I used Egive cash and I have no problem with using it. Maybe I am just lucky because in our area, I am near with security bank's offices, may it be in my home or in my office.
