961  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is It advisable to quit my present job for bitcoin? on: November 24, 2017, 02:04:29 AM
I would say it's only advisable if you make a lot of profit from trading, keep the money, invest it, start receiving a decent income from your earnings, diversify your funds into several investments, then you are safe to left your job and live from BTC income. Otherwise it's too risky, we don't know how will be the next day, caution is needed in life to have a stable one.
962  Economy / Marketplace / Solution For Services Who Want To Adopt Bitcoin on: November 23, 2017, 08:29:10 PM
It's a big concern from businessesmen to start accepting Bitcoins on their stores, restaurants, etc. And one of the main reasons is because the time the transaction takes to be confirmed is too long. Then I was thinking what could be useful for them: To let their customers open a account on the service's site and add BTCs to their balances.

Then, when the customer goes the place and buy/pay for something, the amount will be deduct from this balance. So you don't need to worry about sending low transactions paying expensive fees and about waiting too much time to have your transaction confirmed.

What do you think?
963  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: [POLL] No Captcha or No Timer? on: November 23, 2017, 07:43:14 PM
As no timer faucets are offering too low rewards, I prefer no captcha faucet. If many faucets adopt this we could claim faster, increasing the number of faucet users again. Anyway, I doubt it's possible as we have already to complete a captcha from the short-link feature...

It would be more like this: "What do you prefer, 1 captcha or 2 captchas without timer?"
964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth to pay $8200 for 1 BTC if you are a newbie? on: November 23, 2017, 07:39:53 PM
Even being a newbie I would buy BTC for $8200 price, at least I know Bitcoin can reach farther than this as we have already seen. Today you can think BTC price is too expensive, but I believe in few years you will regret about it if you don't buy now, like many people regretted about not buying BTCs on the last years because they thought the price was high on that time (like many people say about the currently price).
965  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Have people been forced to pay tax over Bitcoin yet? on: November 23, 2017, 03:47:43 AM
Tax imposed when it is legal but although bitcoin is not legal the transactions fees or charge serves us a tax in bitcoin when we withdraw it.There is no authority or legal regulations we should follow that they need a tax on bitcoin.It is controlled by us and not in the government or politicians.

Where I live they say we must declare it as an asset, Bitcoin for them is nothing in particular, just an asset like any other because it has a value and everything that has a value must be declared and taxed. I don't know if everywhere it works this way...

But the point is that Bitcoins aren't being tracked for banal reasons like that, so only criminals are calling more attention for them, people who use Bitcoin for illegal activities, legit users are secured. I have seen even countries which banned Bitcoin saying it's hard to track all its users, so sooner or later they will have to change the policy.
966  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why all the negative talk about bitcoin lately? on: November 23, 2017, 03:16:29 AM
Really don't understand all the negatives flying around about BTC lately - we are on the cusp of mass adoption and that will change the space forever in a positive way.

- Bitcoin futures and soon Ether futures
- Bitcoin legislation to make <$600 transactions non-taxable in the US
- Increasing adoption globally even after China ban

You could add so many more positives to the above, so bitcoin won't be dying anytime soon !
i dont get people who said negative about the bitcoin i dont know if they are paranoid only or it is truth because all they say is the bitcoin is destory soon , the price is dropping low again and in the worst case scenario bitcoin will be gone for this year. this is what i see in the other article but if it happen then we must accept and be prepared to less hurt. then the price dropping low is very normal to the bitcoin because the price of the bitcoin is unstable and fluctuating . all things have limits but don't be rush in that things. there are time

The concurrency is saying this and it's because they want to put their Crypto-Currency on the top. They have their reasons, like expensive BTC fees for an example,  but in my opinion it's not a valid reason to left Bitcoin and start holding/supporting another currency. BTC won't be destroyed so easily and for such reason (that has been happening since a long time ago and so far Bitcoin hasn't lost its price).

It's important to follow what people are saying about Bitcoin, but it's important also to don't be poisoned by this negative talk about BTC.
967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 67% of Bitcoin Holders Haven’t Sold It, 10% Want to Hold for 10 Years - Survey on: November 22, 2017, 06:00:51 PM
It's because they have seen what has happened to Bitcoin's price since it was created, there are stories about people who became rich in few years just by holding Bitcoins, people who bought it really cheap and grew their patrimony like never before. Common people becoming millionaires with cheap investments, that is amazing. And it's disponible for anyone, doesn't matter how rich you are.

Before Bitcoin I had not seen any profitable "open" investment for the mass. There were the low profitable investments for everyone and the good profitable investments, but just for people with a considerable amount of money to start or profitable business opportunities, but only for people with a high budget.

And now people think what happened to BTC price before will happen again, so they are convinced to keep holding it on long term.
968  Economy / Marketplace / Re: I only have 200$ per month ! on: November 22, 2017, 03:11:19 PM
If you receive only $200 wage monthly better to don't put all this money into investment. Keep some savings for emergency purposes. I would invest $100 in Bitcoins and hold. Or I would wait more one month and invest $200 at once, so you could use $100 per month to invest and keep the other $100 in fiat for emergency and miscellaneous expenses. I would start only with BTCs, letting a possible AltCoin investment for a future opportunity.
969  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin is Officially illeagal in Morocco on: November 22, 2017, 02:48:58 PM
Sad news, but even the government of Morocco knows it's not easy to control a ban on the country. People will find ways to continue using it without being tracked, it's a risk, indeed, but despaired people that are in need for money and don't have any other profitable investment or source to survive will have to take the risks and continue using Bitcoins. Maybe at some point the government will see the advantages of Bitcoin and revoke this ridiculous ban.
970  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: No Captcha Faucets | 100% captcha free claim on: November 22, 2017, 02:02:49 PM
Sadly I can't use it too. When I try to access your faucet I see the same message above, but I can skip it and claim the reward, the problem is that when I complete short-link and it redirect me to the faucet I can't open it anymore, even skiping the warning message it redirect me to the same message in looping.

Some time ago DwarvenBitMine was showing this same message of warning and that is what the site owner said about:

hey.....
your site is risk?
https://postimg.org/image/93cx1of6d/
No, there is no risk. It shows you this information because I am currently using a self signed certificate and your browser thinks it might be risky. I am going to replace the cert which has also a CA.

Maybe a similiar situation?
971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 88% of Japanese have heard of bitcoin -- how about your country? -- on: November 22, 2017, 04:32:44 AM
There isn't a search yet about this subject on my country, I think it's not so popular like in other countries like Japan, India, Philippines, China... Where I live I don't know anyone who uses Bitcoin and when I tell them about it they don't have much interest. What I know is that about 3 millions of people are using Bitcoin in the world at this moment, but I can't say how they are splitted among the countries...
972  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Brave Browser Now Allows YouTubers To Earn Cryptocurrency on: November 22, 2017, 04:06:31 AM
Seems a serious project with real professional people behind it. I understood their focus is to give more velocity and safety to internet users, but I didn't understand how innovative can this feature be about Youtubers earning in Crypto-Currency.

The browser blocks ads (what generate income for Youtubers) and the way this browser offers to earn Crypto-Currency is by donations from channels fans.
973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: healthy discussion about DICE on: November 22, 2017, 02:06:37 AM
The game works against people who aren't playing big and is set to block the richest, that's my personal idea.
If you had huge money to spend you theoretically could play the system even by martingaling 50 bets in a row, but you'd need a lot of money to do it. Casinos know that and are adding max bet limits. So if you are there to play low and can't go big after a number of small losses in a row you just can't get your money back and they can safely keep you at 49% win ratio and still make money.
It's not only an internet casino thing. I've seen pro players being kicked out of real casinos because they can't just limit your bets there so the only way is to stop you from playing.

To be able to lose 50 bets in a row you would need an insane amount of money it wouldn't even be worth it to bet in the first place. Even with bitcoins if you start with 1 satoshi bet, 40 bets in a row would need 5400 bitcoins and 50 in a row would need around 5.5 million bitcoins. Even if you have the money, keep in mind that you are betting 1 satoshi so even with a bot betting, you would need to bet for months and months just to win some money that compared to your 5.5 million bitcoins is still meaningless. As I showed above it's also better to just bet half of it at 33% and if you lose bet the other half at 24.75% because this gives you total odds 49.58% which is a bit higher than just 49.5% that you would get by making a single bet and you save all the time that would take betting at 1 satoshi.

The gambler can have thousands or millions of Bitcoins, at some point he will touch the maximum bet allowed by the house and that is the end of the streak. So he will need to continue betting the maximum allowed, or he will need to start again... Progressively losing money without chances of recovering it. And you can change the winning chance to 90% or 1%, doesn't matter, the result will be the same on long term.
974  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto is an Asset or Currency? on: November 22, 2017, 01:42:47 AM
Bitcoin is considered an asset by many because it worth to be held on long term. If fiat were so valuable like Bitcoin and if it got more price over the years, would you consider it an asset too? Because that is what happen with Bitcoin, it's just a currency that doesn't lose price within time.

Technically Bitcoin is a currency, but people discovered the advantages of using it like an asset and if it's more profitable this way so that is what most people will do at the moment.
975  Economy / Economics / Re: 1Bitcoin as a gift from someone on: November 21, 2017, 08:45:18 PM
I would love to have 1 bitcoin as a gift from someone .If it happened then it will depend upon my mood and the currenct price of bitcoin. If the price will be high at that time according to me then i will sell it and will convert it into cash but if the price will be low at that particular time then i will wait for it's price to rise and then i will sell.

Indeed a good gift and a good strategy you have. I think I would do the same: If BTC price would be high I would sell it, if the price wouldn't be so high, better to keep it for some time and see what happens next. Or I would try investing this gift with my other active ones hoping to get some passive income from this 1 BTC and enjoying the progressive profit it would generate on long term.
976  Other / Off-topic / Re: Are bitcoins only for the educated and knowledgeable people only? on: November 21, 2017, 07:55:16 PM
Bitcoins are not only limited to educated and knowledgeable people but it is an open to everyone, everyone can buy and use bitcoins you just buy it and use it so we cannot put limits on people it is just like fiat but we have to tell people about it guide them about it.

There are still limits on where you can use bitcoin, and same as users, some of those soon to be users really don't know bitcoin/how to use bitcoin, and because of that they are not qualified or they should not be using bitcoin until they are educated by those who know bitcoin well. Therefore, if you don't have knowledge about bitcoin and how to use it, then it is not advisable to use it, better use fiat.

I agree that it is free to use for all, but it should only be to those who atleast have a knowledge about computer, that way they would easily learn.

Educated and knowledgeable is subjective. Many unaeducated people are able to use a smart phone or a computer. These things can be learned outside an academic institution and that goes the same with bitcoin. As long as a person is interested and is willing to listem and learn about it, then it doesn't matter whether they're educated or not.

Academic education isn't needed, but there is a minimum level of education that is surely needed to make an individual be able to use Bitcoins. I know many uneducated people that are unable to use Bitcoins and even smartphones, computers... The only way they could have access to BTCs would be with the help of another person that could take care their money for them and manage their accounts online. But it's never too late to learn, as you said: if someone is interested and willing to listen, it's possible, but some education will be needed at first point...
977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Continue my losing streak on: November 21, 2017, 07:29:58 PM
Between start betting from zero x100 payout and continue your long loss streak with x100 payout is almost the same thing. It's not because you have already lost 572 times that you have more chances to hit profit next time. The chances are the same someone is starting the game from zero now.

The only difference is that your game is saturated, the person would need to start betting high with low winning chance, what isn't good. For a third one point of view it's more worthful to start from the beginning with a low bet like you started 572 bets ago. Seems you just want to recover your money using other people, but I believe it is not going to happen... Better to conform yourself about it and don't gamble with all your money next time.
978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is an altcoin on: November 21, 2017, 06:27:02 PM
The point is: These early technologies didn't bring the advantages people were searching for, the decentralization and the debureaucratization of the financial system. Surely those technologies were very helpful on that time, but since some time ago we had been waiting for something new that could bring more accessibility and then Bitcoin appeared, totally different from "Digital Cash" and "Web Based Money" as we knew. Bitcoin is surely unic and original, not an AltCoin.
979  Economy / Economics / Re: A step-by-step guide of the next developments on: November 21, 2017, 05:39:17 PM
To complete this fail prediction you should have added at the end: "- People move their funds to Bitcoin Cash".  Cheesy

Your prediction can happen or not, the possibility always exist, we need to be aware about all scenarios, but at this moment this is very unlikely to happen... If Bitcoin start losing price as you say people will buy more and keep holding, then the price will increase again. It's a visible chance of profit and investors, especially big ones aren't fools to lose opportunities like that.
980  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: OBitman - new BTC faucet on: November 21, 2017, 04:20:29 PM
I got only 8 satoshis, didn't receive extra 8 satoshis.

It will take a long time until reach 1000 satoshis to cashout... Especially claiming 8 satoshis every 15 minutes.
I think if you don't pay directly to FaucetHub.io after each claim it will be harder to get users to your faucet as people are avoiding threshold faucets fearing to be scammed.

1. Visit link and press skip ads to get 8 extra satoshi for a claim!
2. Solve the captcha and click on 'claim Bitcoin'
Summary: bonus 8 satoshi + claim 8-26 satoshi.

1000 Satoshi is typed in very quickly!

Ok, got it now.
Well, if a person is unlucky he will need about 60 claims to be able to cashout... Possible to claim 3 times every hour, so about 20 hours claiming to be able to cashout 1000 satoshis... BTC price is high, Ok, but still takes some time.

The positive point about your faucet is that it's clean and loads fast.
