881  Economy / Economics / Re: Whether Getting Married At a Young Age Can Lead To Poverty And Make Poor Economy on: August 08, 2018, 09:57:00 AM
I see in my country many marriages at a young age and don't think about the economy in the future,
I know getting married at a young age is very beautiful,
but if the economy is insufficient, maybe should think again not to get married at a young age,
and I think from that marriage it can give birth to children and increase the population of the earth, and maybe in a few years the earth will be full of humans and surely there will be many other crimes to survive on this earth,

Is there a solution, to overcome this impending disaster

I think young marriages don't undermine economical situation of a certain country, it's a stereotype nowadays, that young people can't live a serious life and take care of themselves. Actually, I think it's quite the opposite: whenever young people start a family they learn to grow up and begin to seek for a job, try to become successful, which reduces the level of unemployment in country. Meanwhile people who aren't getting married can stay with their parents till their late 30's and don't work for the government's good.
The issue of the overpopulation is quite blurry in the modern world: lack of space for people to live? - skyscrapers, not enough space for farms?- vertical farms are on their way, possible meat deficit - scientists are working on lab grown meat right now. In any case, this problem isn't as bad, as the fact that lots of counties, especially developing category can have up to 70% of population over the age of 60, that is what really influences the economy, while younger families can reduce this number and make the overall population younger.

Gambling legislation is good news, however, India seemed like a more religious country to me, because as far as I know Hindu practices mostly disfavour gambling as a form of entertainment. Anyway it's probably for the best, something that is prohibited by the government always finds itself in the shadows and gives rise to black markets, criminality and danger. We can see it now on the example of drugs - whoever wants will find a way to but it, so it would be better to legalize it gaining two benefits at the same time: cutting off criminality and turning all that money that went to lawbreakers to the central government budget.

Sharia law prohibits economic activity that isn't based on real assets that are backed by something physical, not just a speculation, so all of the cryptocurrencies we know today including Bitcoin, ETH, etc. aren't allowed to Muslims, as they're digital and only. However, due to this issue, Islamic economy and finances experts in Dubai have thought about creating a cryptocurrency that will follow Sharia law and will be backed up by a well-known physical asset - gold:
https://qz.com/1247409/bitcoin-cryptocurrencies-for-muslims-backed-by-gold-are-popping-up/

If they manage to implement that kind of cryptocurrency that will improve situation on market - people will see that cryptos aren't coming out of the thin air, aren't a bubble or a Ponzi scheme. Maybe more projects like that will appear, this will not only lend credibility to digital money world, but also will reduce fluctuations and make the market more stable.
885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: August 06, 2018, 06:40:15 PM
If you were asked to teach gambling you can help out, but warn that it can cause addiction, but it's not like get someone hooked on heavy drugs, so I wouldn't worry that much. After all, if one of your friends feels like gambling you can't stop him/her with refusing to help - that will release you from responsibility for him/her playing and becoming addicted, but that won't change the situation de facto. That friend of yours will eventually ask someone else, or watch/read tutorials. However, if you know that he/she is the kind of person that easily gets addicted, but isn't rich enough to afford gambling addiction you can try to contact his/her family members to notify in advance.
886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STOP THIS DESPERATION FOR FREE TOKENS!!! on: August 06, 2018, 05:41:21 PM
First of all you shouldn't ever consider bounty or any other advertising-related jobs as money source and only, moreover - you shouldn't count on that, because this kind of work is unpredictable. If you're not really into crypto world and just want to make money - this kind of work isn't for you. I don't understand how one can manage doing bounties for ICOs if he isn't interested in crypto world (but I'm talking about sig campaigns/writing articles and that sort of job). If your job is just about adding subscribers and doing retweets - well, you shouldn't expect very high payment for that, it doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do. You're right though, most likely 100 tokens will turn into $5 in a best case scenario, but if you've participated in more than 30 bounties and have lots of different tokens there's a chance that several coins will become decent (or you can try doing daily trading and making some profit out of that).
887  Economy / Gambling / Re: Alive Casino: Join the ICO that’s making gambling come to life. on: August 06, 2018, 04:59:04 PM
It never fails to amaze me what kind of original ideas people come up with, VR online games are actually genius. I think the only reason people would prefer real casinos over online versions is lack of perception and tactile sensation. With your invention I think all of them will rather sit at home in their pajamas feeling most comfortable and enjoy games and tournaments at any given time. I have a question though, will this virtual reality work based on what people really look like (e.g. people will use their photos or webcams), or just a simulation?
888  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Should we believe the ICObench? on: August 05, 2018, 09:09:57 PM
Have you ever noticed that some ICOs refer on their score on ICObench during crowdsales. There are some experts that assess the ICO by follow criteria: Team, Vision and Product.

How useful is this score? Should we take it into consideration when performing a research on the ICO?

Team is the most important criteria. Nowadays there are so much advanced ICO scams, that make their websites and whitepapers look so realistic and only by people who develop the project you can really tell what they're up to. It commands confidence when there's a way to contact team members (to make sure that those are not just set up photos). If those people are into technology and seem to perform some activity during years that's a good sign, or, the better situation is when team members have participated in successful projects in past. I don't know what about vision and product though, sometimes that's the thing that attracts people to scams. If you're choosing between definitely reliable ICOs product still doesn't look like a good criteria, there can be from 10 to 20 different ICOs offering nearly the same thing, but only one of them will be successful, so it's 100% on team.  
889  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency could benefit the world's economic welfare? on: August 05, 2018, 08:10:12 PM
If the best economic improvements can be made in case when there is only digital currency, but no fiat currency then cash should be removed from world's circulation. If some countries are completely cryptocurrency accommodated while others only have cash money transfer systems it may cause some issues in export/import practice, like what currency should be used, which exchanges and what fees should be paid for transactions, etc. On the other hand - what changes if most of the countries just replace one currency type with another? Anyway, I think it's US and Canada for now because not every country can deal with cryptocurrencies and turn their implementation into economic gain for the government, as with the new system simply some private banks can do manipulations faster, than the government and take over the business.
890  Other / Archival / Re: Do i need a license if i want to create a crypto gambling site? on: August 05, 2018, 06:55:02 PM
I think if you want your crypto website to be popular you rather count on customers from all over the world, than just from one particular country. But it's not your problem whether gambling and online casinos are allowed in countries where the users will be from, or not. You need a license more as a warrant that your casino is legal, that you pay taxes (pay attention to that one) and, finally, that your site is trustworthy. However, different countries have different requirements as to legislation of an online casino and you have to choose an appropriate jurisdiction that corresponds your current needs and possibilities in order to issue your gambling website license, make sure that it meets all of the requirements (such as software, taxation policies, availability of some important information on your website, such as terms and conditions, etc.).
891  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: So, Crypto Market ALL RED Again!! on: August 05, 2018, 05:30:42 PM
Today All Crypto market get RED again!
I dont know why, may be nobody knows. What is going on people?!!

All top 10 coins decrease around 5%. ETH traded at $430, BTC at $7700.
I think ETH may continue dumping while BTC will stop dumping at $73xx then great again.
Crypto whales are going on vacation Cheesy But to be serious all the alts drop when BTC price drops, it's just how it works mostly and the way it was in Jan 2018. Recently (on August 4) Bitcoin lost 500$ for only 6 hours, which resulted in 7k USD. Even though the last time BTC price was like that about a month ago (on July 17) it's not a reason to panic. Bitcoin weekly losses are reaching 15% now, while monthly gains are around 5% (which, however, can't be said about ETH, that undergoes 15% monthly losses). But I think we can expect some good news in Autumn: BTC was brought to CERN attention recently, Starbucks is considering approving BTC, and ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) in thinking about creating a global ecosystem for digital assets. All of the above should improve Bitcoin's price.

892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sicodice scam on: August 05, 2018, 04:16:18 PM
Yes, that is very suspicious. It could've been bad luck though, however 100% lose must impossible when winning rate is that high. But maybe it's some kind of a bug, like it says 90% win chance, but programmed to 90% lose chance. The thing that really caught my eye is that the interface looks sooo much like Primedice. I know that lots of gambling websites try to be alike, because Primedice is so popular and attracts people, but this is too much, so it's probably a scam. There is also a video on YouTube from may 2018 that says it's a scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OG4_UdqE6s
Anyway, why do you stick to some shitty unknown website, when there are lots of decent and reliable websites. Check this list at least: https://bitcoinplay.net/bitcoin-dice/
893  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The hard Truth on: August 04, 2018, 03:00:49 PM
Gaining from trading is possible, you just have to learn a lot of materials and years of practice wouldn't hurt. First thing you need to do is decide will that be daily trading, or long-term trading. Investing is more risky, on the other hand it's not that time-consuming, just buy some coins and forget about them for 2-3 years. There are some obvious choices which you should consider as win-win if you believe that crypto market will live: ETH, XRP, Cardano, NEO. Especially have eyes for the ones that cost about a dollar, only think about it - you can buy 20-30 of them and who knows, maybe they'll be as popular as BTC now and you'll have a huge profit, if no - you lose 30 USD, what a pity.
For daily trading you have to choose 3 things accurately: exchange, coin itself, daily strategy. Now, exchange should be the one that charges lowest fees, this will bring you more profit (Binance, Bitfinex). Coin and strategy is up to you, watch some videos on youtube before you start at least and it's better not to change your strategy very frequently as this will reduce your chances of hitting the mark.
894  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is profitable coin? on: August 04, 2018, 02:09:30 PM
As for exchanges: CEX.IO (quick registration, instant buying/selling, different fiat options), automated trading is available and, the most important - only about 0.2% fees. Binance charges even smaller fees (~0.1%), but you may avoid it due to recent hacker attacks and interface is more complex there than in the previous one, so it's not for newbies. And finally Bitfinex - easy interface, small fees, you can also order some amount to borrow here, which is quite popular.
Cryptos for daily trading - it depends on your personal strategy, I guess. I prefer XRP, LTC, IOST, ETH, NEO.
895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes enough is enough on: August 04, 2018, 08:47:34 AM
Borrowing money on the other hand is much more common than you think. I've seen people borrowing money directly in a gambling site chatbox, asking/begging for someone to lend them some money.
Some gamblers just really need to watch "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" movie to see what borrowing can lead to. Long story short if you haven't seen that one - a guy who was really good at poker borrowed money from all of his friends and some gangsters too and lost the game (the main problem was that he was kinda good at reading people's faces and so he usually knew what cards they had on hands, but this time his opponent was cheating). Eventually, not only he has set up all his friends and owed LOTS OF MONEY to gangsters, but he was also threatened that if he doesn't return his debt he and his friends will be killed.  Cheesy
I don't know how realistic this situation is, but every gambler just have to keep in mind that owing someone may end up very bad, so it's better to be left with nothing.
896  Economy / Economics / Re: HOW BITCOIN BENEFITS THE ECONOMY? on: August 03, 2018, 05:16:53 PM
The government in most countries have decided to ban Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole. I begin to wonder why the government for these countries have taken such an initiative. Any idea on the benefits bitcoin offers to the economy? Help me convince my government to accept Bitcoin.

Where did you take that data from? As far as I know Bitcoin status is permissive in most of the countries (majority of them are counties with good economical situation, EU countries and US). In most of the developing and newly industrialized countries Bitcoin legal status is contentious (e.g. India, Indonesia, Georgia). And there are actually only few countries that consider Bitcoin as illegal, like Algeria, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nepal and some others. Now, there's a direct correlation between the economy level in a certain country and BTC status there. As you can see the least developed countries banned Bitcoin, which is quite explicable, as cryptocurrencies may undermine country's economy. If citizens prefer BTC over national currency (and they will, because in this case they'll have more freedom) the price of it will fall, eventually crushing the country's economy.  
897  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STO or ICO? on: August 03, 2018, 04:20:12 PM
Guys, what's the difference between STO and ICO? STO - security token offering. Some say that STO has other legal consequences, in contrast to ICO. Security token becomes like a stock share, unlike a token issued on ICO. Is it right? What do you know or think about it? Personally, my opinion is that STO does not differ from the ICO.
No, it's not the same thing. ICO is a type of decentralized crowdfunding system that can offer either security or utility tokens, so basically STO is a type if ICOs. Security tokens are prohibited by the US SEC (because most of them don't comply with the laws of security), these are the kind of tokens that pay dividends, share profits, pay interest or invest in other tokens or assets to generate profits for the token holders (examples: tZERO, Polymath). Utility tokens, on the other hand, aren't prohibited by the SEC, but you have to follow their regulations (that's the kind of tokens you are most likely familiar with, like Ether).
898  Economy / Economics / Re: The asteroid trillionaires on: August 03, 2018, 03:39:24 PM
I can agree with Musk here, it can be a total bogus, which scientists frequently use in order to attract investors for funding their projects. Another issue here is actually precious metals abundance, when there is too much platinum on Earth the price will automatically decrease. And also, who will they sell all those metals to? There's a potential of becoming a trillionaire, but not a realistic possibility. I don't get why going all the way to space for riches anyone hardly knows how to deliver on Earth, while there are places like South Africa, which are rich for the same metals.
Investing in rocket fuel stations will doubtfully bring a lot of money in the nearest future. And you have to invest some huge amounts of money to gain a decent profit. So I will probably stick to investing in cryptocurrencies for now.
899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: India to legalize gambling and sports betting on: August 03, 2018, 09:29:21 AM
That seems to me like a very desperate step towards increasing internal revenue. India surely has serious economic issues as a developing country, but I don't think gambling will change the situation, only due to foreign money turnover, especially considering the fact that the number of FTAs in India keeps increasing and has crossed the 10-million mark in 2017. However, the population in India is about 1.4 billion, so the foreigners make up only about 1%. While 80% of India population are professing Hinduism and gambling is specifically forbidden according to the most ascetic Hindu practices, even though there is no "sin" concept, ideas of karma influence the general attitude towards gambling for entertainment. Not even speaking of the poverty situation, 30% are extremely poor, while about 40% certainly aren't that rich to gamble as well.

900  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $1000 to spend on coins. 5 years exile on a desert island. what do you buy? on: August 02, 2018, 08:16:43 PM
That would actually be a great opportunity to buy as much Bitcoin as you can and keep yourself from selling it. I think that the price will increase significantly. After the first fall in 2013-2014 when BTC reached 1,000$ for the first time it took 2 years to recover the price again, and after that the price started to increase precipitately. My theory is that to everything that appears new on the market and attract people the interest (therefore demand) grows exponentially. So if it took 2 years then, now it should take about a year and this interim will only keep decreasing. Other investments (like real estate, stocks) are too risky, because they're fixed on something material and you don't know what can happen to it after 5 years, while BTC is digital and it's its main advantage in this case.
