782  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with your Parents on: April 22, 2019, 12:41:05 PM
Gambling with your parents might be the unusual bonding of the family but I was able to experience this one before.

In my place, you can gamble on the wake which is normal and a form of sympathy. I was young that time and my dad was playing on the other table called "Mahjong", my Mom was playing "Bingo", and I'm playing card game (Tong-its) that time and it looks like my whole family are playing and aiming to win some money

When I grew up, gambling becomes our source of happiness but suddenly becomes our worst enemy because honestly my parents got separated because of gambling and until now they blame the addiction of my dad. I'm old enough now to realize that was a biggest mistake of my family, to let that addiction ruin our family. I promise to myself not to be like my dad, I will not expose my kids into gambling.

Will you do the same mistakes of my family or you will keep your kids or even yourself away from gambling?
In my family we used to gather around a table with my uncle and his wife and we play poker, we did not like gamble for money it was just for fun, like if he wins i got get him a beer and if i win i get 20$ nothing serious, maybe some people think that this makes you grow up and become a gambler, but those moments and those games that i played  were the best memories i have of my family and every time i gamble i remember those moments, and they did not make me addicted to it, but it guess everyone has a different opinion and different experiences.
783  Economy / Economics / Re: Undervalued Bitcoin Will Be a ‘Multi-Trillion Dollar Asset Class,’ Says Analyst on: April 22, 2019, 11:56:01 AM
I think that bitcoin has already shown the world how big of an asset it is, not only in terms of price when it reached almost 20k back in 2017 and everyone and their dog started talking about how big it is and how you must they invest in it, and how many people were able to make millions out of it, but also in terms of viability and the ability to take the concept of transactions to a whole new level and jump us into the future, i think that most of the people who are invested in it are just lurking around and holding it until something like that happen again, and others are just still hesitated because of its status with governments where they don't want to put their investment at risk and see it get banned by the regulation.
784  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Inheritance Planning on: April 22, 2019, 11:24:59 AM
Bitcoin is not at a state where it could become an inheritance, i mean you could teach your kids and your family about it so that is one day they could continue your legacy, but if you have a large amount of bitcoin stored than if you die, it dies with you because there is no legal way to record it and transfer it to your family after your death, maybe in the future when bitcoin becomes a mainstream and relevant or implemented into government's financial system we will able to do so, otherwise if there is such as third party service that does that i personally won't trust them.
785  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Deep Dive Into Bitcoin's Scarcity on: April 21, 2019, 06:36:52 PM
I have been always telling my fellow bitcoin investor friends. Bitcoin is scarce!. And it is scarcer than we think.

We mined 17.5 BTC up to the present. 1m BTCs is in Satoshi's account. 4m BTCs is lost.

Grasping this scarcity may help why BTC is still undervalued!

From the article below;

If you own just a single bitcoin, only 17 million other people will ever have as much as you.

We have never had true scarcity until now, and because of that, it's a concept that's hard to grasp.

Furthermore, and scaling up a little,  let's assume bitcoin manages to hit critical mass, and everyone on the planet tries to grab a piece of the action. There would only be 0.003 BTC for each person…


Check the article below;
https://www.chepicap.com/en/news/8455/a-deep-dive-into-bitcoin-s-scarcity.html
Well you know what that means, start holding your bitcoin, it is actually crazy i though that the supply was supposed to last us at least 100 years before all the bitcoin is mined, but with the supply running low this could lead to many thing not just people having less that 1btc in their wallets, but it will require a lot of machine power to mine what is left of it, meaning that transactions will take more fees and more time, which than may lead to micro transactions made through bitcoin impossible.
786  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Keep the HYPE alive on: April 21, 2019, 06:14:47 PM
People talk about hype as if it's not good at all for investors, I'm here today to share my experience  about how crypto hype helped me reach out for more profits
1)Hype has driven me to put in more efforts in hunting for more profits, even in airdrops hunting I am able to make better profits from ordinary airdrops
2)Hype somehow erased the lazy feeling off my body and I'm now able to detect fake projects and put in more efforts spending hours on bounty projects to decide whether it's worth promoting or not.
Now I'm willing to open doors to all opportunities available, hype is whats giving me more hope so HPYE is not what we can escape from, in fact it's part of cryptopians
But too much Hype could lead you to and things my friend, there were so many project and ICOs whom's devs hyped us up and promised us they their ways will make a change and their projects are going to add something to the crypto world that none other will, making faulse promises and making people hype and invest in it only to be meted by disappointment and ailed project where their owners only crated for the sake of greed and profit, that is why the ICO has lost its course and people lost their trust in it and stooped hyping up .
787  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do youtube "Expert Traders" keep asking money for their "premium tips"? on: April 21, 2019, 05:56:48 PM
I have been trying to watch some YouTube videos about crypto trading and also tried to read some articles to understand the different indicators but one thing that baffles me is that most of them claim to have made lots of money from day trading, and yet they continue asking people to subscribe for their Premium content for $100,$150 etc

If they claim to have made lots of money through their good trading strategies then why do they ask for money? Is it too much greed for more money, or they are simply lying about making money from their strategies?
Well it is as they say, if you are good at something never do it for free, well obviously these so called experts are only experts at lying and scamming people, not only they are lying about knowing what will happen in the market and the prediction that they claim about the market, but they lie about what they put in these courses, if they actually knew anything about the market they would keep it to themselves and the would be making millions.
788  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the economic growth of Bitcoin will show a positive impact in upcoming days on: April 21, 2019, 05:40:29 PM
Hey
We all know how essential it is for the audience to follow the stars they love, not only that they usually have the power over a lot of population given how commercial companies die to hire them , well we have a good news * Serena Williams just revealed her list of the compani that she was investing in and one of them list was related to the cryptocurrency*

What we can infer from here is * even Superstars are actively involved in the cryptocurrencies and now they are opening up about it , this is going to influence the price positively for sure, what do you think ?
Do you think that these so called Stars just post and reveal that they have been investing in cryptocurrency on their on will or out of nowhere, of course not, these people know the influence that they have and how many people follow them and if they do it they do it for their own benefit, so it is either because they got paid by some company to do so or their manager told them to do so, so they can influence the price and make people invest in it and then they follow up by investing as well, no one in this world does anything unless there is a benefit in it for them.
789  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John "fucking" McAfee: I will reveal Satoshi on: April 21, 2019, 05:27:28 PM
Come on no buddy believes this none sense, every now and than some one comes up to claim that he is the rightful owner and creator of bitcoin, hasn't McAfee had enough attention now he is claiming that he knows the true identity of satoshi, i don't think he actually knows, i just think that this is an attempt to get some attention, the attention that every time some faker comes out and says he is the actual satoshi nakamoto, people should know that satoshi will never come out and reveal himself because that will cause a lot of problems for him and for bitcoin.
790  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin prophesy has shown up again. Which side would you belong? on: April 21, 2019, 04:57:50 PM
With recent surge in Bitcoin above $5000, those prophets and prophetesses has come again to predict. All there predictions in late 2017 and early 2018 that Bitcoin will not rest and gasp for breading until it reaches $80,000 per Bitcoin failed to hold any ground. They have lead millions that are following there channels bankrupt in which they are yet to recover. That is why it is good to always do your own research and follow it strictly, even-though it failed, you will be more satisfied than shifting blames to someone that is directing your decision financially. I have found out that majority most times are always wrong.

Why all these stories, they are silent for over a year and suddenly re-appeared about a week ago. Now, there prophesy is that Bitcoin will re-traced to $4200 before we experience any tangible moves, telling there followers to place a pending order around that range. Personally, I don't agreed with them but have an opinion that they will join to buy in $6300 - $6700 range. Technically, on which side would the shift goes based on your justification.
Time and time again these people who call themselves experts just post some none sense and predictions that serve nothing but miss lead people, there is no telling what the future holds or when the price is going to change  and what these people says should not be taken not even with a grain of salt, whether to buy or sell or just hold is something that should made based on your own analysis and based on your beliefs, and not from people who are pretending to be experts.
791  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is urgent. Argentina is printing free money too on: April 21, 2019, 03:40:51 PM
It is crazy how government just manipulate the currency as they want, but does not this lead to their currency going down since they are printing it out, but obviously this is one of the cases where we knew about it, but for sure they have been doing it for years under the table the same as the other countries where money is being printed and put to banks, if this keeps going it will lead to a finical crisis, the same as the case of zimbabwae where they have a currency of 1 trillion dollar worth only 0.4 actual us dollar.
792  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Any free trading bots out there? on: April 21, 2019, 01:22:12 PM
I think there is nothing free in this world because of the benefits you will get after trading, some are free but this is only a trial without any benefit for you, if you have money then I recommend buying rather than searching for free but won't find it until and what you find is just fraud or whatever, doing your own analysis, I think it's good for you if you don't want to spend money on it.
There are free bots, but it is just better to either buy one or just not use it at all because some of these free bots that are available are not updated and not efficient enough, because the developer is making them with any motivation, trading bots are based on machine learning which takes a lot of effort and a lot of programming, so it is best not to use the free ones because they might mess up and make lose money, so if you want to use bots just buy them.
793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone + 3 years trading or investing? on: April 21, 2019, 12:56:36 PM
Hi,
I am curious if there is anyone who have traded or invested crypto more than 3 years?
and the profit is good?
I have been involved with the cryptocurrency seance for more than 4 years, and all i could tell you that this market is crazy, you just can't catch a break, you have to be constantly changing your strategy and adapting to the prices and situation, it used to be a lot more consistent and stabilized prices but ever since late 2017 where bitcoin skyrocket and cryptocurrency has got more attention, people went full insane and the market has been flooded with shitty coins that the developers only created for profit, so the charts are becoming more of a roller coaster than they have been and it is a lot harder to keep up.
794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What the future HODL? on: April 21, 2019, 10:26:12 AM
The problem with today's crypto is that almost everyone who is involved in it is just in it for the money and profit, ever since the prices started going up back in 2017 and it got popular for a while people have been investing and pumping money without even caring about the concept and the reason why the coin was made whether it was bitcoin or any ICO, and that is why at any sign of price drooping these people just ditch out, obviously this is going to be the case whenever prices go up, but when it comes to actually support and believe in the development and in crypto making an actually impact in our lives, only the people that support it when its down.
795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Southeast Asia’s Cryptocurrency Sector could be targeted by North Korea on: April 21, 2019, 12:41:21 AM
This is actually true there have been a lot of suspicions towards the North Korean activities and where they are able to get the fund to develop and produce nuclear weapons , and it turns out that a lot of the cryptocurrencies and cyber attacks that hit multiple banks and exchanges where millions and millions of dollars have gone to thin air, probably the most noticeable one was the Bangladesh heist where they were able to take 1 billion dollars only a couple of them were able to be retrieved and  the rest were traced down to north Korea, as well as other multiple heists.
796  Economy / Economics / Re: Things I learned through the years of Buying and Trading Bitcoin on: April 21, 2019, 12:12:33 AM
You forgot to add another thing here which is being patient and not being greedy, most new people come to investing and trading in bitcoin and cryptocurrency and they expect to immediately get profit and they invest all of their money and at any sign of price going down they panic and bail out, they think that that all those people who were able to make profit from it was just in night and day, they have waited and supported the bitcoin since the beginning through its ups and downs and to be able to be like them you have to be patient and actually support the cause of the currency and not just invest init for the money.
797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi Nakamoto was known in person on: April 20, 2019, 09:33:04 PM
It is a known fact that no one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is in person and no one can point at who he is.
This made me to wonder that, if he was known and seen physically, would cryptocurrency survive till now.
Without careful analysis, he might have been called all sorts of names, such as a scammer, an opportunist and the likes because they might not understand the right intention he has for the world.

I have come to the conclusion that this man called Satoshi Nakamoto has made a sacrifice for us. Not everyone can do this. Why? Lots of humans like to take glory for themselves.

Today, people now praise Satoshi Nakamoto, but he never for once came out to claim the glory ascribed to him. Well, we do not know if he is still alive or not, but I have this feeling he is still living.

If you were him, what would you have done? Huh
Why do people keep thinking that satoshi nakomoto is an actually person, every thing about bitcoin screams that it was created by a group of people who really wanted to change the sate of the transaction system, do you think that one person could have 1 million bitcoin all for himself all these years and all this time with anyone being able to locate him, even when it reached it all time highest back in 2017, i personally think that the people who created bitcoin have that 1 million splited between them and they are living like normal people, but if it turns out that it is an actual person than he will never come out because it will create big drama and a lot of problem for him.
798  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who sell? / How this happens? on: April 20, 2019, 09:15:40 PM
This can be made by someone who just had enough of the coin and just decided to bail out rather than just keep waiting since it seems that it is not going up significantly, at least not enough to make a huge profit from it, things like this happen all the time and people always think that some kind of trading bot that messed up the algorithm and went mad on selling, these high volume sells cause the price to dip and usually hurt the small coins and make everyone panic but it seems that it was not as bad in this case since it has recovered.
799  Economy / Economics / Re: How cash is becoming a thing of the past | DW Documentary (Banking documentary) on: April 20, 2019, 08:31:13 PM
the government have no policy towards eradicating the cash system and at that it systematic exits will come with a long time frame.
Most gov'ts don't, I agree, but hasn't Switzerland almost completely eliminated physical money?  There was a thread somewhere in this section about it.

Governments should realize that although many citizens prefer not to pay with paper money and coins, those instruments are still critical and should not be phased out.  A cashless society would be a slave to the electric grid, and most of us can recall times when the power has gone out.  And what do you do in a situation like that?  Even if you can find a store open for business, they are probably only going to accept cash.  No credit cards, no phone payments, no bitcoin.  Some say it is only a matter of time before a cyber attack on the power grid happens, and when it does cash will be more important than ever.

Electricity concerns aside, physical money still provides the most anonymity no matter how private any particular crypto claims to be.  I am concerned that people are abandoning their concerns for privacy, especially young people.  It is not a good thing when gov'ts and banks can see all of your financial transactions, even if you aren't doing anything illegal.
I actually agree with what you said, electricity is going to be a massive obstetrical when it comes to things becoming cashless, and it will make banks and shops vulnerable to cyber attacks where people's money is at risk, and will lead to a chaos, besides there are a lot of people who are not in favor of the cash and will always prefer the old simple way, and also people think that with governments replacing cash with digital fiat it will make thing better, it is not governments now print money and control the volatility of the fiat, with it becoming digital they will be able to do it with just a click, and people won't be able to do a thing about it.
800  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin Lead to the SIngularity? on: April 20, 2019, 08:04:07 PM
In 1993, professor Vernor Vinge of San Diego State University, published a paper predicting a point in the near future where technology itself would be capable of creating greater-than-human intelligence. This point, Vinge characterized, would see large computer networks and their associated users “wake up” as superhumanly-intelligent entities. In such a scenario, technology would be capable of improving upon itself in such rapid succession, that from the purely biological perspective, it would be seen as an “intelligence explosion”. This future point in time at which technological development irreversibly changes the conditions of human civilization, has come to be known as ‘The Singularity‘.

“This change will be a throwing-away of all the human rules, perhaps in the blink of an eye — an exponential runaway beyond any hope of control.

It’s fair to call this event a singularity. It is a point where our old models must be discarded and a new reality rules, a point that will loom vaster and vaster over human affairs until the notion becomes a commonplace. Yet when it finally happens, it may still be a great surprise and a greater unknown.”

– Vernor Vinge, Technological Singularity


Due to the rapid progression of fantastically powerful computer networks, this point of no return, the technological singularity, now appears more accurate and imminent than ever. The bitcoin network, for example, has demonstrated exponential growth in total hashrate since it first came online in 2009.


The uniqueness of the bitcoin network, and the manner in which the blockchain verifies large quantities of data, creates the perfect application for artificial intelligence to make sense of communication patterns (transfers of value) which appear seemingly unrelated to the untrained eye. Artificial intelligence will be capable of performing fantastic analysis of the data time-stamped into the bitcoin blockchain. These analyses will give rise to astonishingly accurate predictions.

Read Full Article: The Singularity Is Near - Diginomics
Blockchain is not self driven, it relies on the people who are making the transaction within the network to function, and without them it will stop, it is not intelligent in it self it is intelligent in the way it functions, but this does not mean that it is not the future, as you said that the technology is advancing more and more and eventually we will reach a point where AIs are self ruled, and i think that blockchain is going to play a big part in this advancement, for example maybe in the future we will have robots where they have brains that function through the blockchain where they could access millions of information at a fast speed.
