Its a matter of CHOICE not by CHANCE.If someone wants to give details about him/her doing crypto then its their decision.If you choose to do it then save all data needed to know,so that the one inheriting it is going to be more responsible enough to handle such thing.Then if you do not want to partake something to your family then bring to grave anything that you've earned from crypto.Then die a selfish person.
That would be truly selfish not even giving a single person the details of your holdings and then dying away with it. No one knows tomorrow, death is inevitable, and it can happen anytime. At least even for someone who does not have loved ones, will it to charity. Grin ... My wife has been disturbing me anyway to write down all the access to my holdings, I just do not have the time yet, I guess I just have to consider it one of these days so as not to end up selfish and being punished after death for that cruel some act.

I think there are only two different views that may result to a couple who both gamble. One is that they will have strong bond that may result to stronger relationship. Their hobby, which is gambling may be a good experience that they may enjoy and share together. On the other hand, this may also be the cause of their misunderstanding that may affect their relationship
I have a little bit different opinion in this regard. Even if the couple has a strong relationship between them but when one will lose money or something else to beloved one, there will be a feeling of distrusting coming from inner side which will be saying to him that he’s not your faithful friend. I think that feeling will make their bond weaker than it was before gambling. I am saying this because I have experienced this thing many times in my life.

I don't really like this idea of having a partner with same disease as me.
That sounds like a great thought. Having your partner into a profitable business must be a good idea but not into same frustrating area where you may catch your life time failures too.
8963  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: February 08, 2018, 11:30:59 AM
As long as I want I have been avoiding gambling for almost 6 months now.
And I am doing well ,When ever I feel like I want to gamble I would start to play some video games or watch some movie to keep me entertain,
And sometimes I would just keep my wallet away from me or cash out all of my bitcoin so that I couldn't gamble.
I am sure either gambling has dealt with you before or it has dealt with someone very close to you. It is very funny though, knowing that the gambling industry is one booming industry, which totally means there are so many people gambling each and every day nonstop while making money into the gambling industry's pocket.

The crazy thing about the whole thing though is that, it is better to avoid from the start than to get in and find it hard to get out. It is like drug, so for me, once you know you cannot control yourself normally, it is better not to even gamble at all.
8964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: February 08, 2018, 10:58:31 AM
What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?

If my money left on me is for my transportation of course I'll stop gambling because I don't want to go home walking or with empty wallet.
It is hard to chase the money that we lose, it is better go home with small amount than nothing at all.
Gambling is very basic if you already won stop and walked away, and gamble only what you can afford to lose and comeback again another day. Maybe lady luck would smile with you in some other day.
I can bet some people who are so addicted can bet their transportation with the hope of getting lucky until they end up walking home alone in their pants. The thing is a lot of people just love to keep pushing their luck even when it totally becomes glaring that luck is not really on their side. Just like you mentioned, once you win huge, walk away, when you lose big, walk away, any other thing asides that is more like playing with fire.

Trying to chase loss is even what has given birth to so many addicts today and for anyone who could not control that moment of chasing loss from the first instance the impulse comes, then they are in for a nice journey to the addiction island.

One should always learn to have a particular amount set for gambling, once that is exhausted, and then they move on, if they win huge from that one, they also move on.
8965  Economy / Marketplace / Re: I've made 600k in Crypto - When to call it quits on: February 08, 2018, 08:19:02 AM
when you buy a house or car, tax authorities will get noticed. they check your paid taxes before vs purchases. this might result in investigations. so go the legal way, my advice.
This is just the best advice anyone will ever give you on the basis of getting out your cash the right way. Also, on whether to sell or not, the ball is definitely is in your court as you have the decision to make. Do not be greedy though and if you are a long term holder, you should at least have a little bit knowledge on following trends of a coin and knowing when to withdraw to fiat and buy back for long later on. Nevertheless, if you trust all the projects behind the coins you are holding, and then you are free to keep holding for as long as you want, if you really do not need anything to do with it for now.

Crypto is very uncertain industry..
Uncertain and volatility are the problems only for short term players but long term holders are enjoying along feeding to their greedy. What is looking like greedy right now, may become reasonable after some times. Because, this is how entire crypto world is working.
8966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How would we know which cryptocurrency would be Scam? on: February 08, 2018, 07:20:06 AM
Check if the volume is high enough and if the team is active. If they are releasing new roadmaps, partnerships and newer versions of wallets then they are very serious to make their project successful. If they don't have all those things then it can be considered as a scam.

But sometimes at the ico level, you can't really know their genuity. They flag off with high hopes but at the time of being listed in an exchange, they die down. Meaning they made enough of their money and never bordered to continue.

Basically, I think you can know a good coin when they have their own separate wallet be it web or separate blockchain. Also when in exchange, you observe an addition of coin in the max supply - you just know something is fishy. For example, we all know bitcoin has 21million as max supply. So, any time you observe an additional coin to that, you can begin to look for an exit door.
In fact, the ICO level is even the easiest time to flag down a project that is a scam or not. One thing I always say to people is that if your mind is not comfortable with the project and you are seeing the investment you are about to do as a gamble, then do not gamble it.

You can just wait for the project to hit the market, see how it fairs, which is if you have the desire to still want to hold. The team that has worked on a project before and have an old profile with some reputations on linkedin cannot be compared to a team that just opened a professional account. That is a clue to always detect fast before even considering digging further.
8967  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Low prices, are you excited about the situation? on: February 07, 2018, 05:08:17 PM
Good day! Bitcoin keeps going down and this is not to be exited of as for my part. I have  lots of altcoins and they of course goes down with bitcoin. If I have extra cash I'll buy the dip and hoping the crypto market will recover so I can recover my loses. This is a good time for those new in cryptocurrency because everything is cheap to buy.
I like people with this kind of concept. Well, this is a bear rally; most of the good alts have even bottomed out or close to it.
Best time is now, the profit time is over, the buying zones are here and anyone who cares to take the free ride when everything is low should better not miss such a chance now.

I see this as a good moment to always save up more for the upcoming rally as there will always be one, whether we like it or not. Market will not be down forever, and at a point the bears will get worn out.
8968  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buy when there is blood in the streets on: February 07, 2018, 02:26:30 PM
This blood bath will not go long and it will cool down shortly then again a big revival comes. This happens before also and it can also happens in future.
In fact, it has gone long enough and I am surprised that those who have been screaming this present value and waiting to buy when it ever tests below $8000 are nowhere to be found. Now, if they miss this chance we will start seeing another thread of regret being opened and wishing for another dip like this in value.

I see this as a very good chance for every investor who wants to go in for the long position and even if it goes lower, then buy more in margins.

Unfortunately, some panic and sell when there is blood on the street rather than going the other way round. I see this as a huge chance to always buy and wait for the sweet moments of profit. Every investor should even know better that as long as they did not sell when everyone was buying, they should not even bother selling when everyone have sold as that is normally the wrong move. Better to wait or buy more.
8969  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is the bitcoin price going down? on: February 07, 2018, 10:51:03 AM
Indian budget yesterday came in which they use sentence " Cryptocurrency is not legal tender " and people think " not legal means illegal " but Finance Minister already said , Not legal means we are still not in position to say anything about it.

Today if i am not wrong , they cleared we will think about it. As two big trade site are working in India , Unocoin and Zebpay.

But even after this news Bitcoin did not stop its fall. It is not stable, going up and down all the time. I suppose it will last for long, at least for a month.
This is going to be like the second longest correction so far, I guess. I really do not see how guys are not seeing the blueprint all over the wall. The whales want you guys to panic and dump what you have so they can benefit a lot from it, and then some of us unfortunately are busy giving them what they want. Nevertheless, I believe this will keep getting the market stronger as time goes on and as people started realizing their mistakes, while they grow in the community.
8970  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Can Pump again in this Month(February)? on: February 07, 2018, 08:44:39 AM
Somehow I known that every years first month bitcoin falling down, and then finished the January months bitcoin go with his own speed. So, first month (January) end, now 2nd month of the year 2018. Now can be rise as like 2017? or few months ago.
How says expert research!?

We're not off to a good start so far with all the reds.

However on the bright side, price is likely going to be reaching the bottom soon and there won't be at least as big crashes as before. In fact the chances are that bitcoin is probably going to start recovering soon, after this massive dump off.

And it's definitely possible for this to happen in February, if not february then probably March.

Though even if it does pump, it definitely won't break the all time high this month.
And even the bottom will not last as there would be a lot of pending buy orders waiting at that spot, so normally, it would be nice to just have a buy order at this point that we are and load up when getting so close to that point. Around $5500 is a good point to get in and I am looking forward to that position for the long term. Also, anything can happen with bitcoin and we have all seen it before, so the only thing that can always tell us would be the charts, so we just wait and see when it starts.
8971  Economy / Speculation / Re: $6200 I'm buying on: February 07, 2018, 08:02:50 AM
Ok, so this has gone on long enough, I've been short most of the time, but I'm buying all I can here ! Let's go! At least back up to $7200
Okay now! This is the kind of spirit that I love the most. I am already picking little of the prices gradually for a long position and if it drops lower, I will even go all in at once without bothering what happens afterwards. My target right now is $5500 and I really hope it does. Bitcoin right now is reaching a stage where the bears are running out of fuel and very soon, no matter how long it takes, we will start another journey to the moon, we only had to refuel along the road.

So do I. Going long on bitcoin right now, right before going to sleep. Best idea I've ever had  Grin
Oh sure! This is one good chance I would shoot myself for if I ever miss, 6k right now is good and lower is even better. Chances like this when you see bitcoin testing a huge bottom is like you having the chance to hit some gold mine and dash away with a lot of gold and then decide not to take it. There could still be a chance of a lower low once more and I won't even think twice before hopping into the jet. Let's have this ride mates!
8972  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you wondering what's happening with bitcoin? on: February 06, 2018, 06:10:20 PM
Unfortunately, a lot of people who are inexperienced traders will still at the end feed the whales no matter what. Some people are getting into alts that have already been pumped and then is in the verge of getting pretty dumped soon, and they just follow some whales blindly in telling them what to do.

Anyone who cannot analyze the market for a long term hold should not even bother themselves trading. It is best to find a coin that is undervalued, a good project with good team and invest in such for the long term and also know where to even get out of the market when the time comes.
8973  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin capital fleeing to Ethereum? on: February 03, 2018, 02:40:06 PM
Im still awiting for Ethereum to correct to $30. Its going to happen eventually. Like litecoin correcting from $50 to $1
Simple plain manipulation by the wall street dudes, that is all I am seeing in the market right now. For those who are opting in for profit or for whatever they may be thinking in their head, I really hope they get the benefit from it in the long run.

Unfortunately, we have the wall street guys in our midst now and I won't be surprised if they start using the news in favor of Ethereum to get another pumped up price for them to make some cool profit on it, so I will be very careful and take profit quickly when the time is right as there is nothing upholding that price.

Probably investors are switching into Ethereum for profit since it is presently in its uptrend while bitcoin keeps tanking. They are really both quite close and when I saw it on coinmarketcap, I just thought, what if we actually ended up seeing the moment of fight of market cap between the two. I guess we will never know now until we see it happen. However, I do not think we will ever get to that before bitcoin recovers, and then we will see a drastic switch over.
8974  Economy / Economics / Re: wait for bitcoin prices to go up on: February 03, 2018, 02:21:12 PM
will this year be the same as last year's year after the Chinese New Year's celebration of the bitcoin price rises again and even exceeds the previous high, I expect bitcoin to rise from this decline, and we as users should be able to keep the price in the way we do not panic at seeing a price drop because this is all just a matter of time

can bitcoin rise after the turn of the new lunar year later?
Till when will we continue waiting, or don’t you guys think we should just start investing and drive up the price ourselves. I know the price is down, but I just invested lately, and I know it might still go down, but after the Investment I made, I have decided to wait for sometime and see if it will go very low, then I will invest for the second time, and wait for whenever it is the price is going to go up. So I’m thinking others should do the same, if they can, cause I believe the reason price is still going down is because we are all withdrawing out of fear
8975  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do big corporations accept BTC? on: February 03, 2018, 01:27:15 PM
The big corporation accepts Bitcoin because it can help lower transaction fees. Unlike traditional method of transaction like credit cards, banks and Paypals, Bitcoin is faster and easy way to use. Since Bitcoin is one of the most well-known virtual currencies, many corporations patronize it.
Quite funny. Who said they are using it to avoid transaction costs? Even for the customers and the companies, it’s all the same transaction fees. I even think that they should reduce the transaction fees cause it’s quite. My friend wasn’t able to withdraw his money in Bitcoin yesterday, just because of the transaction fees, so he left it there. The transaction fees is much, and I know that others complain of it.

But in near future trends will be different as everyone is still learning about cryptos and its advantages. So, there will be no wonder if the whole world may come forward to accept bitcoins as a momentary system.
8976  Economy / Economics / Re: Another Good news about bitcoin on: February 03, 2018, 01:12:56 PM
For me it is not a good news, bitcoin is created to become decentralize it means no one really owns it even the goverment.
This thing is what i like most about bitcoin, then you say that theres a bank for bitcoin. It will make things more complicated.
Actually we have a bank for bitcoin and it is our wallet. So no need to use banks.
For now i am satisfied with wallet being our banks, because we can control it and it makes transactions more easier.
There have always been banks for bitcoin. Coinbase, Luno, exchanges that you can convert to fiat are all banks as far as I am concerned and that is exactly what that project was offering. The essence is just for conversion, even though it has wallet capabilities, but security wise, no one would ever want to leave their bitcoin one day getting dwindled on an exchange wallet. I really do not know why OP would be so happy regarding this anyway, not like it is a new thing.

And was sometimes bitcoin not created to become independent of banks? Banks have to comply with a lot of regulations and are under financial supervision. This causes the state to have control over the currencies. I don't think it's about the idea of decentralization.
Sorry to deliver the bad news. Exchanges are all going to be regulated as they serve as banks anyways. Unless you want to do without fiat, then you will always have a business to do with them. That has not stopped bitcoin or some other cryptocurrencies from being what they are, but until we can have a system where we can spend our cryptocurrency without having to convert to fiat, then we do not have anything to do about it.
8977  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ethereum reach the top? on: February 03, 2018, 12:59:24 PM
yes it can in the near future as of now the ethereum cannot keep at this time but maybe on the long term it has an ability to keep it up to the bitcoin as well but it will take years to make it to the top or maybe die in the middle of it
There is no such kind of technique available so far using which we can measure this thing that whether or not ETH will be able to reach the top or not. However, I have a strong feelings that ETH will keep making its name in the international market and that it will keep on helping more number of investors to get more money out of it. ETH is surely going to have a very colorful future in the coming years.

But no one cannot ignore the pitfalls associated with eth at the same time. It may fall down at any time as it lacks with real time applications. So, there will be only 50% chances for eth to make the top as another 50% is still in doubts.
8978  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What coins do you like besides Ethereum? on: February 03, 2018, 12:07:58 PM
besides eth currently i have a collection of fdx coins, bkx and h20 the coins have a good price, but nowadays coin prices have decreased drastically i will hold the coins till the highest price.
I also like you, now besides ethereum I also have other tokens like bankex, next, even anacoin,
hopefully the price of the coins can be like ethereum later.
Everyone has his own liking and disliking’s based on his own experience and knowledge which he is having about different kind of crypto coins. The most important factor which helps in making this decision of choosing any particular coin is trend of different coins in the international market. I analyze the market in detail before making any kind of decision and then decide that coin which suits me the most.
8979  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you truly believe in cryptocurrency on: February 03, 2018, 07:26:54 AM
what you say is very true and I agree with you people want to be rich but they need to develop the technology. In general, people lose their money because they want to be rich quickly.
It is not only you or me who believes in crypto currency, in fact all those who actually know about crypto currencies really believe in them and they are very well aware of this fact that it is none other than investing in crypto currencies which can help them in making their dreams come true. This is why there is such a huge increase in the number of investors who are there into the world of crypto currency.

whats the best way to get the knowledge in this field ?
thank you
You should regularly follow news about bitcoin. Regular monitoring helps you understand the market situation and market fluctuations. Thus, you can make the investment plan in time, avoid the risk when the market fluctuations
Before starting trading, it is very important to understand the nature of asset in which someone is planning to trade. Digital currencies have a volatile nature which makes trading a bit difficult profession. It tests the patience and trust of a person to a level that he cannot even imagine. Unexpected downfalls occurring at unexpected times creates chaos in investors. But if trader has a good knowledge of bitcoin, he would save himself from panic selling out.
