7981  Economy / Economics / Re: How would you double $100,000 safely? on: October 17, 2016, 03:24:09 PM
The safest way to double your money is to diversify your investment - don't put everything in one place.

And also research well and remember that patience is virtue.

Anything that will say they can double your money in no time is most probably a scam.

the problem with a lot people here is that they don't do any research about where they put their money in. it's all greed that makes them take bad decisions that lead to losses. trading is probably the best way if you know what you are doing. best is to avoid all investment sites that promise you certain rewards. they mostly turn into scams after a while.

Too good to be  true returns are  just a total scam anyway   because  theres  no such investment would tend  to grow your money on  high returns  on  a short period of time . As you suggested  its  better to risk your money on trading and would somehow  could able to gain profits in the long run and  just make sure that you are knowledgeable on it.
7982  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people use so many Bitcoin wallets? on: October 17, 2016, 03:22:19 PM
maybe they made a lot wallet to make a lot of clone accounts as well .. Grin
Maybe right Maybe theres are really something reason why people are using bitcoin multiple wallets because some of bitcoin wallet they don't want there services are receiving bitcoin from any gambling website this is one of the reason and thats the reason why they are creating another bitcoin wallet/

Now that you mention it, you are right. I also did that before. because one of the wallet I have do not accept bitcoin from gambling sites. It work out for the best because now my funds are more secure.

There are lots of reasons to consider from different people  on why they do have  multiple  addresses. As you mentioned  you  use other  web wallets  because there are  really some  local wallets which  is very  strict regarding their rules because  they would block you eventually if they know that you are  earning it on a particular  gambling site .
7983  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitminer.io real or scam? on: October 17, 2016, 03:20:41 PM
I join Bitminer.io sometime in August 2016, i decided to stay as free member until i make enough bitcoin to upgrade.
A free member must wait for 30 days to cashout, I reached cashout on 2nd of September 2016, but till this moment i have not been paid.
A member also cannot use his/her earning for upgrade.
My conclusion is that the site is a scam site. If you upgrade your bitcoin will be gone.

That clearly tells that they are not allowing free members to earn good amount to their website, because where they are going to get the bitcoin for paying those free members?

Of course they are going to prioritize the people who are going to invest to their scheming. And good thing that you have experienced that you aren't able to cashout.

This is fishy and scam.

If you could not able to withdraw  to your earnings and  you would need to  deposit first  money  in able  to do so then for sure  its a scam because   you would eventually know this  situation even  on commonsense thing  only because if  its free then you  could actually withdraw it without any investments.
7984  Economy / Speculation / Re: At what price we would be at if Btifinex disaster didn't happen? on: October 17, 2016, 03:18:56 PM
if no such incident hack, bitcoin prices might soar now and I am very confident that very many investors who will invest their money in the form of bitcoin. if it does not happen, most likely bitcoin prices above $ 900 and may be more so than at those prices.

 I don't think that is going to happen and I think the same price as we have today even there is no hacking incident because I don't think investors will invest.

Most of the investors won't buy bitcoins at the high price so I don't think that price will increase on that time.

They are just going to wait for the price to decrease before buying so the movement will be the same.

$900 seems  to impossible to  happen  even bitfinex hacked didnt happen after all, as you mentioned   investors would not intend to  invest  anymore   regarding  to its price  but   there are really big investors would really risk on the current  price  because they have high  hopes for bitcoin.
7985  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Do not play at Oshi.IO bitcoin casino, SCAM!! on: October 17, 2016, 03:17:23 PM
Hi Guys

Oshi have held onto my deposit and winnings for about 10 days now.
Full story and complaint has been submitted here

http://www.askgamblers.com/casino-complaints/account-possibly-closed-unknown-reason-still-missing-funds

A few other members have had problems withdrawing as well. They said they have made losses past few months, they might be going out of business. Play with caution. Seems anyone winning a large sum cant cash out.

As i saw on the  link this  is  actually a serious  claim against the site but  there no solid proof  in it  and  only the reports are just verbals and  cant even show a  solid proof even on screenshots which is  somehow   i could able  to think that the  problems  is  in yours only not to the site.
7986  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Was bitcoin designed to be global? on: October 17, 2016, 03:15:37 PM
Given the fact that there are only 21M bitcoins, one could wonder if bitcoin was designed for a few selected or first few adopters and not to be a global currency in a world with +7 billions people.

What happens 40 years from now when most of the people on earth turn to using crypto currency? simply use alt coins when they see bitcoin already in hands of a few hundreds people and not wanting to be manipulated by them or even by 1m coins of satoshi?

Can't we have a second version of same code with same team and the same credibility developing it?


Its  impossible  to manipulate even on bitcoin alone  because  no one  would able to make it except  to the  original devs and the  founder itself.  40  years is too long way to consider  because we dont  even know if bitcoin would still exist  or being replaced already by a new crypto.
7987  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What Happens if I lose my Bitcoins? on: October 17, 2016, 03:13:37 PM
If the OP meant the losing of the identifier or the password, then due to the advancement in several wallets it can be retained, but if he meant about the loss happening due to transfer to the wrong bitcoin address then nothing is possible. Only possibility is that receiver needs a Kind heart to return which doesn't belong to him.

If we are talking  money here, if you accidentaly  pass or  transfer  bitcoin to a random wallet for sure  say goodbye to  your  money  because  the chance  of  recieving  it back is   zero  unless if the  owner would  give it back which is  a really rare person to have  nowadays.
7988  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin died tomorrow on: October 17, 2016, 03:11:53 PM
If Bitcoin would die tomorrow then I would to mad because I still have Bitcoin that have to be sold and if the Bitcoin dies then they are worth nothing anymore.
Al of my hard work would then have been for nothing but I would have to accept it in the end.

Not only you but all  of  us  who hold bitcoins for sure  would get mad and upset if bitcoin would die  tommorow and if theres  one person that could able to know  that bitcoin would die tommorow then for sure  many would panic sell their coins  to get secure  profits.
7989  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoins safe? on: October 17, 2016, 03:10:37 PM
yes there is no doubt about this that bitcoin is a safe investment and that is the reason that i have invested more than my 70% assets in  bitcoin.
Its  not complete safe hence  the word itself  mean 100% no risk  if we  intend to say safe. As we all know bitcoins price is too volatile and we wont  know  on what would be the  price on the  future even  thinking on the price of tommorow because anytime  it could rise or fall. 70% in your assets  is somehow a crazy thing to do  for me.
7990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: October 17, 2016, 03:09:03 PM
I have noticed so many players are just gambling for the sake of profits only. But majority of them loses most of the games eventually as they are not smart players.

So how should we gamble in a smart way so that we do not get more frustrations due to continuous losses?

Don't be dumb and try to avoid luck based games. Most of the time all these dumb strategies don't work and you end up losing a lot of your money, better play poker or sport bets
Yeah, but most of gambling games are more on luck. We need to know what game will be fit to us for us to enjoy our game, so that even if we lose money it is just fine, as long as we enjoys our game.

Well, that is really what gambling should do to us in the first place - they give us entertainment. If we then abuse that and bet more than we should, then the problem occurs. Unless you are a professional gambler and all you do in your life is just gambling, then you are good to spend big amount of money because you know how to handle it.
If we just want to gamble because of entertainment it is fine to play as long as we have money to lose and afford to lose then it is just fine to play.
The gambling is made for our entertainment. The winning is an additional advantage in entertainment game that's it. So just play this gambling how much you can afford, if you are lucky you may make more profit and the entertainment will turn to your profitable activities. I will also play for fun, and i will be very happy. If I lose my bet, i just take that easy.
most gambling are actually luck-based so it really is inevitable that you're going to lose money more often than not. the smartest way would be to make sure that you limit those losses. never include emotions when you gamble as the more you lose, the more you'll likely bet more. so just keep a certain and amount and be strict about how you wager


Yeah,

I definitely agree with you,
Limiting your self especially on the way that you bet and the amount
that you put at stake will make a great effect on the results of the game.

Tolerance over yourself is one of the smart ways to play
gambling games.

Self control and awareness on your actions would be really important especially when you are gambling because  with this  things you could able to avoid  gambling addiction  because  you are already awared on the situation and   also to your  betting and  limits  which is  truly a smart way.
7991  Economy / Services / Re: $3.0 if you reach Full Member on: October 17, 2016, 09:50:42 AM
3$ for 300 posts is around 0.000016 BTC per post

There are open Newbie signature campaigns on bitcointalk that offer you more than thrice that amount. And that is not taking into account the fact that you'll get paid more as your rank increases, and you're more likely to get paid (ahem waiting 300 posts till you get paid is dodgy)

I agree with you, 300 post on $3 is just like suicide for me and much horrible on doing faucets in my own opinion. As you calculated pay per post is horrible and I try t visit the site there no so much traffic maybe thi promotion would somehow work if op would increase its rate. 300 post is no joke of your time and effort.
7992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: October 16, 2016, 07:19:33 AM
for me also gambling games are not fun, but I play gambling for fun with the aim to benefit. when I win, it makes me happy. so basically no game gambling fun than getting a victory.
There is fun in gambling most especially with friends if you play with friends of course that will be so happy even if you don't win. Because for me what more important is that the organization that we have. And I just play with small amount so that is fine even if I lose.

Yes indeed very fun if gambled with friends. But if the gamble itself actually think I also have fun. Because gambling is a game, we can play the game that we like to bet. If done with self-control and not for profit gamble I think it would be very fun.

Yeah agreed. It doesn't matter whether you're playing alone or with friends it depends on your preference. Whats important is that you're playing with the correct reason. Although money is still included when you gamble, it should not be the main reason as it would put pressure to win and not to lose money

Its  players preference if  he  intend to  play alone or with friends as  long   you  get your aims  and entertainment  when playing gambling  . You could  able to do both.  Gambling is  fun  when you  experience the enjoyment and thrill on each bet and  dont tend to  aim for profits.
7993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In what gambling games are you good at? on: October 16, 2016, 07:17:39 AM
Actually im not good   on any gambling games because i dont  have any luck on it no matter how  hard i play thats why i dont  intend to play hardly and put huge amounts. I do  only put  small amounts of  it  so that i would  not regret every time  i do suffer a loss. I do only  play  dice games.

I was just approved as a junior member, please can someone explain to me how to join signature campaign. Thank

Better not  to rush things  up, just continue  your participation on this  forum and do good quality  post  until you reach member account or full member thats the time  you would  join signature campaigns  and   you would also  know the  important   learnings  here  in bitcoin world.
7995  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What I love about Bitcoin on: October 16, 2016, 07:12:12 AM
What i loved about bitcoin is how easy it has given me to do the transaction online, the stability and the increasing value of bitcoin is also one of my reason to used bitcoin and i also believe storing bitcoin is better than put your money in bank, because the value of your investment in bitcoin is better than the bank's interest

Online transactions and  money transfers are the thing that  i love  with bitcoin same as yours and also the earning  opportunity that it gives   to its users  which you could able  to make  money  but still you need to work for it in able  to earn just  like on physical world.
7996  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is stealing Bitcoin illegal? on: October 16, 2016, 07:10:49 AM
The answer is so obvious here. Of course it is illegal. It is stealing, if this happen to you then you will see it at my own perspective. There is no legal stealing. Even Robin Hood is wrong in what he did.
Stealing is stealing  no matter how  big or small the amount is. You are right even robin hood  did good deeds but still its considered stealing and  its very  illegal. In the case of OP  he didnt intend to  generate new address  with  a bitcoin on it  but  the have no choice at all but  to get those bitcoin rather than to keep and  lost.
7997  Economy / Economics / Re: Loans too risky? on: October 16, 2016, 07:09:17 AM
All that do lend here the main interest wont never be get or sold the colateral, because usually those colateral are bitcointalk accounts, sure the lenders recover the ammount lended, or should recovery doing such, i dont understan some loans requests of 3-10 dollars, makes no sense at all ask for such ammount but well people dump their accounts doing those.
Yeah lending is risky if you are a lender you cannot recover easily to sell the accounts.. but many lenders are success to give loan to others thats why they are making a good profit to give loan.. every week depends how many people you are giving loan you can make a huge profit its more profit than you are just member of signature campaign.

Lending services is a really good investment though as  long you   handle the risk properly and  for sure you would really gain on it.  Loans are risky if you are  setting   not to strict  requirements  to someone  who  want to  request a  loan be sure  to have a good   collateral.
7998  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: did you put all your money into bitcoin? on: October 16, 2016, 07:07:12 AM
First of all why would you do that? You will need something left for buying your necessities. You dont want to be crying if ever the value of bitcoin suddenly went down. It is an investment not a gamble or a sacrifice.

Some people are really so dumb, that they seriously expect guaranteed returns from a (according to these people) very safe and risk free investment option such as Bitcoin. These people don't know anything about investments as they are just gambling with their entire savings. They should stay far away from any kind of investments.
Well we cannot blame them its their choice and its good for me to take risk but to take risk all of your money to invest in bitcoins is not a good thing to do.
Why would they stay away from investments? Investment is good but they have to take responsibility to.minimize their investments.
yeah i don't see the point in avoiding any kind of investments. I mean of course, you'll be taking a risk here but if you're smart, you won't go into an investment blindly. You'd be planning and researching before making an investment and i think it's a good way of doing something with some of your savings

As a wise person we would really not intend to invest blindly to other investments without any knowledge with it. Money is precious for us   and we wont let it to lose easily but there are really people  who always  lose their investments  because  of some  factors.
7999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The House always wins. on: October 16, 2016, 07:05:28 AM
may be not ever where but in some houses where there is always using unfair means by the the house, and where people are cheating bu the house.

Those types are casinos don't have a knowledge of casino business because if they do honestly, then they can attract more and more people and at the end they will be making a lot of money. But those guys just want to scam people for a small amount and runway with a small amount.

Expert gamblers / Veteran players  would  definitely  know a reputable gambling site  which  they would seek always for  a hash on which the site uses  with this thing  you could somehow assure your self that  results are not  manipulated by the house  thats why not showingthis hash seems  a shady site.
8000  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on sport = gambling? on: October 16, 2016, 07:03:49 AM
from the words itself betting its another form of gambling what's good here is you have some advantage if you really knew
the game well because in sports betting its easy to gamble just choose the best team.

Other all gambling games  sportsbetting   is somehow  a good  game though with  higher  chance of winning  on  selecting the best team. Back on the topic  Betting on sport is actually a gambling game because you are risking your  money to win  money and  thats considered already as  gambling.
