9061  Other / Off-topic / Re: Are you buying bitcoins? Why? on: October 12, 2016, 07:05:14 AM
Just stopped for a while because of the higher price. Maybe I will wait more time to sell then buy back if ever it will go down. If not then just earn it again.

I don't think that price is too high at a moment and if you can manage to hold them for next couple of years then I think this is good price to buy as  price will rise in future which will bring good profits for us.

If I must be honest I think that the price is too high to buy and that we should not do it right now with this future.
It will maybe go to a higher price but the fact is that its not worth due to the fact, the profit would be less more.

The price is still way below the ATH. So I think it is still safe to buy bitcoins right now if you are going to hold for long term anyway. The price may go back to 1K in a few years or even just 800 just like last April, it is still profit.
No doubt we can see a good price in the future and even if the price today is currently rising, we should see this a cheap price because this is not a peak price yet, we can still see more increase in the future as we are very active of attracting new comers that will make the community grow bigger.
9062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: October 12, 2016, 06:46:32 AM
You know I'm becoming convinced that these markets are manipulated. Why would a loser project like "pot coin" rise so hard and crash so fast like that? Nobody should have ever even heard of it. People were talking about FOMO on "pot coin". FOMO ON "POT COIN". What!?

I know this is probably not news to anyone but im naturally extremely skeptical of everything. So I wasnt convinced till now. But closely watching the rise and fall of "pot" has convinced me. I just cant comprehend an organic growth driven process for what that "pot coin" chart looks like. So I really think some group of people pushes these things up in large conspiratorial calculated moves.

If this is the case they probably did it to our baby monero too. They used and abused her. Most of the buyers almost certainly had no understanding of the potential like we do. And I mean the market leaders not just the whale chasing FOMO zombies. That's not at all why they were buying.

But hey they say no press is bad press. So we will probably settle at a higher level than we started thanks to this "pump" and we still have the organic adoption to look forward to.
This explanation had made me change my mind and now I will be holding monero and even but with it's current price now. Thanks for the very concise explanation, people like me who are just new in the industry gets some valuable lessons, very realistic analysis.
9063  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we Manipulate Bitcoin price? on: October 12, 2016, 06:38:13 AM
Most likely if you are with a lot of people you can manipulate the price without any doubts, and the fact is also that this already has been done back in the days.
I think there is a possibility to do this, so my answer is yes.

Yes we can manipulate the price of bitcoins if we are going to keep on demanding and supporting the usage of bitcoin.

But the ones who are able to manipulate the price of bitcoins are the whales, who are holding a lot of bitcoins in their wallets.

Maybe thousands of bitcoins or even millions.
A manipulation is only done by the minority who are holding a majority of share in the total circulation of bitcoins, with that for sure we cannot manipulate but they can, what we are doing is that we keep on buying so the price of bitcoin will rise for the benefit of everyone.
9064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: October 12, 2016, 06:30:57 AM
Nah, gambling isn't wrong as long as you don't gamble excessively. It becomes wrong when you gamble all that you have even the money that you should use to buy food. When you can't control yourself not to gamble specially when your losing. You should understand just gamble what you can afford to lose.

Oh well, that's what others forgot. When they gamble they are like horse and probably looking on just one direction without even leaning back. That's what makes gambling wrong. Sometimes a gambler even if they don't have food to eat they do gamble having a false hope that they will win.
You called them a irresponsible gambler who will prioritize gambling over their basic needs, I have seen that kind of people in my area all day and all they do is just to gamble instead of taking care the needs of their family, in the end they will blame the government for their negligence.
9065  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: October 12, 2016, 06:26:49 AM
I think people who want to leave their real life job and go full time on bitcoin is not because they could earn more money with bitcoin, but because they got stress in their workplace so they really want to  quit their job.

I don't think that can be a reason for leaving the job, because everyone likes to earn more money no matter how they get it so if they work more in their workspace and they also earn more from it then i don't think they will leave it just for that, but the reason behind that only can be less earnings than bitcoin.
A work is only stressful if you are not enjoying your pay because if you are earning well with your full time job the stress will easily be relieve as you have the money to spend in order for you to unwind sometimes and you can even gamble for fun if that will relieve the stress.
9066  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: October 12, 2016, 06:13:45 AM
I won't convince you to believe further on bitcoin because it's all up to you. This is risky. If you're brave enough, then go. I've experienced this before, I just go with my instincts. From then on, I always believe in the power of bitcoin even if sometimes it dissapoints me. It goes up, it goes down. Change is constant.
yeah exactly. everything is actually a risk but going with bitcoin, for me, is a well calculated risk. been doing this for around 6months and I can say it really has very good potential


Well even bitcoin is risky I will keep on believing it for I have proven that this is going to give me a good future only if I will going to keep on working with bitcoin. Because I will not going to spend my time longer into something that I won't benefit, so that is why I keep on believing bitcoin for it is beneficial for all of us.
Yeah there's a risk but if you dont take the risk you dont take any benefits of it and every risk you take you make more experience in the decision making.

Without risks there would not be money, if you have invested in the bitcoin you already took a risk..
I still believe in the bitcoin and I always will do this because it has a great future and will go to a high amount later.
Every investor is a gamblers by nature and since we are investing in bitcoin where we have no assurance that it will succeed or not, we can lose our investment also but because of our faith with bitcoin we are willing to risk any amount up to the amount that we can afford to lose.
9067  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why would customers use Bitcoins? on: October 12, 2016, 06:06:10 AM
If someone (bank for example) could block your money account, it means it is not your money. Nobody can block my bitcoin account, that is why I use bitcoin as a customer! We have to explicate what bitcoin is, why we shell not trust to banks.

Good point. But we shall not generalize banks. There are only some banks who does that. Of course you must be well-informed about their rules and regulations before you secure your money to them. If you did not like it, you mustn't have to accept it in the first place.
Banks are not stupid to block your account, you will only experience that if you are doing something illegal as bank are also required by the AMLC to monitor illegal transactions and suspicious transaction.
9068  Other / Off-topic / Re: If i give you 10 BTC what will you do? on: October 12, 2016, 06:01:10 AM
Wow, 10 btc for free and that also without doing anything? I will surely sell 5 btc instantly and convert it to fiat and buy a bike with that money and will take my girlfriend on a ride.

Nice plan pal and we would   surely convert it  to  fiat  since its  free anyway but  there are really people would tend to  keep it and put  up  to some  investments to make it grow  more. 10 btc would be decent enough  to make  investments and  also we could  buy our wants but  its wise to made such decision on long terms.

Converting is always available, you can do it anytime you want, but once you have converted and spent them then you wont have the chance of growing their quantity which is only possible by investing, and 10 bitcoins is really a great amount to be used as a capital in an investment which can easily grow the sum in a month or two, and after that you should convert the profits you have earned.
Exactly, you just loses the opportunity to earn money again because with fiat it will grow but subject to inflation.

The scenario here is if we are given 10 BTC then we should grow that amount and not cash it out, otherwise the person who gave that to us will not be happy of what we are doing.
9069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to win gambling with no lose? on: October 12, 2016, 05:48:53 AM
Hey! Good day! I really want to know the secret of how to win and not to lose because i am afraid to join the life of a gambler it might make me addicted to it if i lose. When i lose im the one who never gives up >.< im afraid to be addicted and i want to win no matter the cause  Angry Angry
Bro First Of All It is Not Possible That You Only Win...
Also I Suggest You That If You Want to Get Succeed In Your Life Then Leave Gambling And Do Some Other Business Because Gambling Already Wreck Many People Life.......
What if gambling is his passion? Maybe many have ruin their lives because of gambling but we cannot say it in general as there are still some who are making money with gambling and they are the exceptional one.
9070  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Minimum Amount To Start Trading? on: October 12, 2016, 05:33:42 AM
I will be using LocalBitcoins, if I have 0.5 BTC I can sell up to 85% of that in my own advert then the rest on another person's advert. Is there a way to make a profit this way? Or is 0.5 simply not enough to start with?

Im starting trading with amount arround 0.3btc then i trade it everyday and take profit as much as possible, after 2month now i have 1bitcoin.
i think the mininum capital to start trading is 0.1
Thats good for you .well i have 0.4 invested on different altcoins still waiting about 1 month .i hoping after two months to reach my first 1BTC cause the coins i inbestednis more on long term .
0.1 is good as long as you have a money but it is good to start low first especially if they are a beginner.
Well, if I were you that you can make money in investing I think there is no limit for our capital, the more the better as we have more chance to make profit once it succeeds, newbie could start any amount he desire as long as he can afford to lose it.
9071  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: October 12, 2016, 05:28:19 AM
For the most people it does mind but for me it matters and I also agree about the fact that if there was no price a lot of us not even invested in it.
I even think its very important!

Exactly, because we are not here if bitcoin does not have value at all. But because bitcoin has a good value and as of now the price is keep on increasing so we can say that it is will be more important and matters for all of us. I hope that the price will increase more in the future so that it is going to help us.
The price makes it exciting for us to stay here especially if we are seeing a good price increase like now, without a price we cannot determine the value of bitcoins we are holding as that is the only gauge we have to determine it, maybe we will just be reliance with fiat as we cannot be an independent currency.

Yeah that is why I am staying with bitcoins for it is the one that is making me stay more to earn with bitcoins as the price is increasing.

I can say that if I will going to keep on working at the good price of bitcoins then I will be able to have a good future.

So price really matters for this is the one that makes us work more.
And it will be more beneficial to you if you will save at the same time, what we have here is a blessing as we can work online and we can also participate in different investment opportunity here, we have to be a risk taker to increase our income here and not rely on working alone but it should be a calculated one.
9072  Economy / Economics / Re: How good are you at managing your money on: October 12, 2016, 05:25:25 AM

Managing money is not easy if you have a family 3 child and your wife have no works and you are the only who has job or source of income that you can live with your 3 child and wife.. you can not manage it well since my wife is too lazy and shes always eating without problem about bills every month because i am the only one who working for our family..
I can not save a lot in my salary thats why i collected bitcoins so that i have still a chance top be milionaire someday.

Thats true, if the father is the only provider its hard to budget your salary and in addition you have children who are in school. Daily expenses is rising, even though you are already done any kind of saving, but thats not enough. In todays time, you need to have an extra source of income to augment your family needs.

For me, I've learned my lessons and its really very important to SAVE. Differentiate needs from wants before buying an item.
I guess I can relate to this as I am a father myself, it is really hard if you only have one source of income as you need to cope up to the needs of your family, I have two children and my wife is not yet working so I need to work hard to give a good future for my family.
9073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: October 12, 2016, 05:08:36 AM
Think about how much you have lost already from the first time you gambled. Somehow it helps me to prevent from gambling again when I see the numbers that I have lost.
Nice strategy to prevent losing in gambling but for me its not enough to quit in gambling if you want quit gambling for good like I said just look another entertaining hobby that you can earn too.

If you realize that you lose a lot in gambling (time, money, friends/family) I think it will be effective, the only downside of that is when you don't find anyone to hold on to while quitting you would just go back to gambling as if you are in " self pity "... Working on day job is most effective to quit gambling... You could quit immediately in gambling if you really wanted to with no excuses and start working...  Smiley

Well people are not going to stop as long as they have money to gamble in their pocket and banks accounts. But I think the best way to quit gambling for your good is to make yourself bankrupt. So that you are going to see how money is very valuable if you don't have money anymore and you lose it with gambling. Maybe that will teach you a lesson.

That's too much... Draining your funds because of gambling and I don't think that you need to reach that point, by just basing on other peoples wreck life, broken family and broken life, that's enough... That is why it good to quit earlier and focus on money making since it is usually the main reason why we gamble...  Smiley
The thing is you can only realize that it is too much when you are done and you have no funds anymore, that's how addiction works and others may notice it but us being addicted failed to recognize that on our own and the worst thing is that we will wait for the time that we have lose a lot and will result to ruining our life.
9074  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: October 12, 2016, 04:34:08 AM
I think I read it and echoed this in another thread.  It would be very nice to invest in some of these exchanges, even if they were only listed as OTC stocks.  I think if they're properly regulated and can actually produce financial statements (gl with that one), they could go public.  Unfortunately, the ones we've seen like Mt. Gox & Cryptsy, they had much different plans.  But can you imagine if Yobit actually had an accounting team or a CFO?  I'm sure they and places like Poloniex do a pretty good business.  And that's what I wouldn't mind investing in.
Please let us know how would you invest in the operating exchange sites? Particularly yobit, I have not heard they are accepting any investment, I guess only gambling house and cloud mining here are accepting investment AFAIK.
9075  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: October 11, 2016, 12:10:02 PM
Holding bitcoin will be the best idea since it is expected to go much higher in the following months.i would advice to  keep more  bitcoins as saving and invest the rest of bitcoins in trading. but remember trading is risky.
Everything is risky here dude, even holding your bitcoins for a longer period of time has a big risk because in the first place we can never ascertain the future and there is a possibility that bitcoin will not succeed in the future, no easy way here because we only make profit when bitcoin also succeed.
9076  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: October 11, 2016, 12:05:54 PM
Best way for a steady income within bitcoin is difficult to answer I'd just say full time job but that's not with bitcoin obviously.
Most chance is probably trading or starting your own webdesign company for example.
I certainly agree with your statement, there is no steady income here because we are like gambling on the price of bitcoin here, when the price increases we are happy because our earnings will have a greater value and we can sell our bitcoins for a profit, but that does not happen all the time so it is not steady at all.
9077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Controlling your temper in gambling on: October 11, 2016, 12:02:09 PM
There's no point getting angry gambling, it will always lead to failure or alter your gambling tactics because of emotion. Try to stay calm at all times & don't take stupid risks.
It's easier said than done. i've had many gambling session most of them ended in a loss, you know it's hard to control oneself if you're losing. you'll try to bet big amounts to get back up to your original deposit/profit amount, it's uncontrollable lol.

You are correct, we could  able to say it directly seems to easy but  in the actual situation when  you are  already experiencing  lose then for sure you cant able to  control your emotions and  rage which could cause  for you to make  such wrong decisions and  end  up lossing. Its really  uncontrollable.
I have been to that many times and I have found the reason why I can do that in gambling, the reason I found is that when we are gambling the amount that we cannot afford to lose we will be force to chase our bets because we are dictated by our emotions to win it back.
9078  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: October 11, 2016, 11:55:56 AM
From all this answers I see we can choose between ponzi schemes, gambling, trading. But more or less everything of this things is a gambling, so maybe its best thing to try it. Find some good strategy, or you can check google for some tutorials and sites offering some winning strategies.

i think if we know about investment in gambling, its a good investment but you still be careful when you want to make any investment. for me, i am lending some amount of bitcoin into market exchange and i think i am making some of bitcoin and i can see its really grow although its not a big amount.
Actually it is, however you need to have a decent capital in order for you to make great profit, it is not that when we invest in a gambling sites our money will be double in a short period of time, it is like getting a certain percentage of growth on our investment in a monthly or weekly basis.
9079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: October 11, 2016, 11:41:30 AM
Gambling is not wrong, till one getting addicted to it as well becoming more greedier upon winning few events. Also it is wrong when considered it an source for living rather than using it for fun with small earning as well loss.

I agree with you, gambling is just simply business and entertainment. The people who abused themselves for not using gambling in the right way is making themselves wrong with gambling. Because they are not knowing what is their priorities instead of more important things to cover up first, they are making gambling as their first love.
I do not think that it is wrong to gamble because the adults can make there own decisions whether they want to gamble or not, nobody is forcing them.
If you cannot control your self then it is wrong for you to gamble.
Yeah those people who decide to gamble are grown and old enough to be thinking for them selves if they want to gamble they should.
If they are then end up wrecking there lives because of it it is also one them selves.

We have our  own  will on all thing  and decision that weve made as you said  we are old  enough and we  know on the things  might  happen when we intend to  play gambling and thats  being wrecked when  you  play excessively on it.  Gambling isnt bad but   if you already compromise many things because of it then its already considered .
But maybe just on yourself alone because we have different experience with gambling and basically it should be played for fun only but some people cannot really stick with that and they are those who suffers the consequences of irresponsible gambling.
9080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to win gambling with no lose? on: October 11, 2016, 11:37:17 AM
i think it is not possible to start winning without any loss.
Yeah even if you're a pro you cant win without facing any losses. gambling is a risky game and its hard to make profit unless you are really lucky. thats why if you had the chance to win its better to stop already so you can enjoy your earnings for the day.
You will win all the time if you know how to cheat but that will not succeed. In sports betting where I usually play my gambling hobbies, winning at least 53% would already give you a decent profit with a decent bankroll and professionals also are not hoping to have at least a 90% winning percentage because they know that it is impossible, however what matters to them is in the end they will in profit.
