its depend on how much you have your bitcoin, if its only 1 bitcoin, then i think you can not buy a house, but if you have 1000 bitcoin, then maybe you can buy a house. and its depend with how much the price of bitcoin too.

That is what OP is saying, that if the price of bitcoin goes as high that the bitcoins he has could cover the price of a house then should he buy it or not, and i would probably say he should, because i know that house can also be used as a business because someone buys a house today and tomorrow the price of that house increases 30-40% so that would earn him a lot of profits, and it also can be used for living if he is buying it for that purpose.

Yeah a house would be a very good investment but btc should go up pretty high and you should have very good timing for you to have a chance of purchasing a house with bitcoin.

Actually, i didn't put any money in bitcoin. I just got them free in a couple of ways. First, from faucets, Im earning a small portion of bitcoins by faucets and ads clicking. Second, by downloading an app that gives bitcoins when you do a certain task. And lastly, I got most ofy bitcoins by gambling. I always win in a gambling site and I can make 0.01 BTC without depositing a single cent.
Never put all of your money into the bitcoin because there will come some times that yoou will regret it becuae the bitcoin will not be so high in the future believe me you should sell them right now when it is possible.
You cannot dictate one on what to do as they have their own analysis and prediction as well to what will happen in the future. If they believe that the future of bitcoin is good then it is always good to invest for a long term as the more time you hold the more profit you will earn.
Well yeah it's ok if you invest a big amount in bitxoin as i also believe it will bear a lot of earnings for you in the future but to put all your money in it would not be practical and logical. Too much of a risk as you won't be left with anything if things go wrong
9923  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: October 18, 2016, 10:13:01 AM
I made 2000$ once out of gambling but then i lost 4k$. I always made my bets small since then, 100$ at most. I wouldn't be in this forum if i ever hit the jackpot.
I guess you are telling the truth people in this forum have mix interest but we are here for one reason, MONEY. If I also win in gambling like the jackpot you are talking, maybe I will use the funds to start my own business in our place and I will just put a logo of bitcoin to always remember that i have succeed due to bitcoin.
Well anyone who would win a jackpot would most likely have other things to do with their time than being here. Though for me the percentage of those people who actually got rich is a lot smaller than those who went broke. Not losing hope though, i'll still try those small betting lottery games that has huge jackpots. You'll never know when lady luck would find time to smile upon you haha
9924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: October 18, 2016, 10:07:58 AM
It is your own attitude and way of utilizing anything what makes it good or worse. Gambling where I was playing like mad by having only idea to break the house. Many people feel them lucky and something provokes them inside to keep playing more and more and this happened to me as well. I have lost big amount of money and that was awful. Now I changed my attitude towards gambling and now it is doing well for me for quite some period.
Yeah many times the house baits to to keep on gambling and gamble big. Initially you'll be winning but as you go on and as your bets get higher you start to lose. Aside from being one unrealistically lucky person who would win in lottery, i think gambling can only wreck you if you're not careful
9925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: October 18, 2016, 10:04:37 AM
It will take your Satoshi... Better mining than gambling... :3
I do not think that it is wrong to gamble because people should make there own choices and should decide for them self if they want to spend money on gambling.
If they become broke because of that then it is there owned fault because nobody forced them to gamble.
yeaaa actually gambling itself not wrong but people who used gambling they are.
some people think gambling created for entertainment and some people think gambling created for business so you cannot win over the casino.
i do agree on both opinions , gambling created for business and entertainment at a time , it is just the matter on how people to handle gambling habit to not become more than is necessary.
Well its really hard though once you're already engaged in gambling and once you know how it feels like to win. Its a normal reaction that you will continue to bet hoping you'll win more. Now when this feeling becomes excessive, it becomes greed. Now that is what's making gambling wrong in the eyes of a lot of people
9926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what fun in GAMBLING? on: October 18, 2016, 09:58:25 AM
the fun in gambling is losing money...Sad but if you win thats better:)
What is the funny on that you losing your money in gambling you fool your self because losing money in gambling is not fun. I think dont do gamble because its not fun
But much better to say that if you won in gambling  that is fun. So do fun if you gonna win in gambling.
Yeah i dont thinks there' s any fun in losing especially if the money you've lost is hard earned. I think with gambling ot's the excitement with that feeling of uncertainty that you may or you may not win. Just be careful because most of the time its the latter instead of the former
9927  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: October 18, 2016, 09:54:40 AM
You can better investin your money than saving it right now because i think that the bitcoins can last for ever and when you invest you will make the most off course.

It's important to not only focus on the investment aspect. If you invest all your money, and the investment turns out to be a very bad choice, then you'll hate yourself for not having savings aside. That's why you must have enough savings to get you through a certain period of time in case things go wrong.
Yeah that would be the smartest way to put it. When you invest there's a chance that it won' t go the way you want it to so to have savings would bail you out of misery
9928  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Skills vs Luck *poll* on: October 17, 2016, 02:20:15 PM
When trading What Matters More Skills or Luck?

Skills of course. Luck will just make the game easier but the main factor should always be skills. You cannot trade by just relying on luck or you are giving away your money.

in trade relying only on luck will be just like gambling where we cannot use our skills and we only rely on our luck. so before starting trade we have to make sure that we are skilled in trading and we have a good experience.
yup when it comes to trading, skill and experience would definitely be of more worth that luck. although luck is needed as well, knowing what to do with how the coins move will prove more beneficial
9929  Economy / Economics / Re: USD vs BTC on: October 17, 2016, 12:09:12 PM
As of now, dollar is popular than bitcoin. People around
the globe seems dollar being used than bitcoin because
bitcoin is not that well known in other country. But, bitcoin
also being introduced in other countries.



It is but not that widely accepted yet in most countries in general. I think in thw future it's going to be more of fiat vs btc as i think bitcoin will seriously challenge the fiat supremacy in the market
9930  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: did you put all your money into bitcoin? on: October 17, 2016, 11:25:58 AM
I save a portion of the money I have in bitcoin. and I save some gold. I still think that bitcoin is a short-term investment. but for long-term investment I do not think so.

I think otherwise though i never put any money into bitcoin at this point because im putting effort into it.  By joining Signature campaign and other tasks that paid in bitcoin, I am able to get bitcoin without buying it.  Im doing this because i believe that bitcoin will stay here for more than a decade and I want to take advantage on the opportunity bitcoin is offering us.
Well, if you will be able to save your earnings in signature campaign you can have a great savings for your future, with your current signature which I am in also, with our rank we can have a maximum of 0.006 BTC a day and that would be equivalent to 2.16 BTC in 365 days if we will strictly save all of it.
Wow that' s a veey god way to look at it though. I agree wirh you even with just signatuere campaigns you cab earn a considerable amount already without you placing any money on bitxoin
9931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: October 17, 2016, 11:20:16 AM
Gambling can both fix and wreck your life. It all depends on your strategy.
Excessive gambling will surely wrecks ones life, if we gamble moderately it'll neither fix or wreck our lives. as far as i can tell gambling can't fix lives, it only wrecks. so gamble for fun not for money with lowest amount possible. Wink

Yeah right. However, if you're paying with real money just to have fun, there are other games out there that you can play for free and indeed more enjoying than gambling. I think there is really an urge to earn there when we gamble, not just for fun.

You know, when there is a money involve, it adds the thrill in gambling. However, just only play an amount that you can afford to lose because chances are, you will eventually lose. That is the hard fact - casino is designed not just for giving players entertainment but also it is designed to win, that is why there is this what we called house edge.

Yeah you're correct in that everytime you gamble eventually you will lose so you have to limit the amount you bring to thw table. And i also agree with the other guy here that gambling doesnt fix lives but have a very good chance to wreck one when addiction is involved
9932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: October 17, 2016, 11:16:14 AM
It's impossible to rich in gambling unless if you are buying ticket in local lottery that has millions of jackpot prizes.If you are just gamble in poker or any game with low winning chance you can not be rich unless if you are the owner of the gambling casino..

The chance that you will win on that is very small, lots of people bet on lottery... Aside from that you have to choose more numbers which makes the chance of winning smaller and if you win sometimes it's not only you, there are also others that win along with you to get a share... So it is still nearing impossible to get rich on lottery...  Smiley

I disagree that is impossible to be rich on lottery because even your not only the winner or more realistic 3 person wins on lottery you will have a big amount in share and it depends on the jackpot i heared one time 2 person won in a jackpot of about $20,000 a half of $10,000 or likely lets say $8,000 you will also called rich man . On gambling its definitely hard to become rich only few lucky gamblers who wins the jackpot.

But the "chance" to win on those is very small, imagine how many people bet in lottery every day, some even have more than 2 tickets and yet no one win in a day or even in a week, if you start to hope that you will win in lottery then that's bonkers, there's no assurance that you'll get rich there even if you use all your wealth to bet you will never know if you will win, expecting something from it is a false hope..  Smiley

Correct. You will have more chances of getting struck by a lightning than winning in lottery - that how the odds plays against you and anyone that buy lottery tickets. Of course, the reward is very high but there is very little to know assurance at all that you will win. If you will win in lottery, then you are a very lucky one.
Our chance in lottery is very low but if we are lucky we can win millions, I guess this is a good game t be addicted as we cannot experience win most of the time which makes us not addicted in gambling, for sure the amount that we are putting is just a small amount so we can afford that loses.
Haha yeah i totally agree you've more chance of getting struck by lightning 3 straight times than winning the lottery. Although it' a not impossible as it already made quite a number of people rich, the chances arebthat slim that you' re better off just saving the money for other more important expenses
9933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: October 17, 2016, 11:11:40 AM
My advice is to get other hobbies,you also need to stop doing gambling daily. You must do it slowly, a smooth transition from addiction to non addiction, if you stop gambling out of a sudden you will enter in relapse mode and you do gamble over and over again.

In short, just take it slow. I really agree that you need to have some alternative things to do like new hobbies - it is like a glass of water, in order for new water to enter it, it needs to have emptied. Therefore, in gambling addiction, you will not get over it when you are not looking for diversions or other activities.
You got it on point dude. Stopping immediately will most likely leave you with withdrawals and the urge would be much stronger. So aside from doing thinga that would take up your attention, i think a slow gradual process would be a more efficient way
9934  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you like to pay bills using bitcoins while staying at home? on: October 17, 2016, 11:06:40 AM
iam very like is pay billing using bitcoin
iam always pay billing water , smarphone billing, electricity biling use bitcoin
in my country open service support pay billing use bitcoin is very much
Yes i am paying bill using bitcoin, every month im always converting my parents money into bitcoin then use that to pay our bills in house and it easy because i dont need to travel that far just to pay why to travel if you can easily pay online right.

The way the above mate quoted is really very hard and unnecessary, because only very few retail and other stores were accepting bitcoin right now. So once again he might convert bitcoin to fiat to pay his bills.

Yeah and if he need to convert his bitcoins to fiat to pay the bill then its better to pay directly with fiat and save bitcoins for future as every time he need to pay conversion fees to the traders.
Yeah i thinks thats what they meant. I don' t a lot of companies that cater to our daily needs accept bitcoin yet. Here where im from it's not accepted. If you really want to pay with your btc you have to convert it first, pay transaction fees then same thing you still pay with fiat
9935  Other / Off-topic / Re: 2017 Year of the Bitcoin on: October 17, 2016, 11:03:15 AM
and what do you think about the year of 2016. I think 2016 is also a year of bitcoin. you will see the price will fly rocket in few days. it may be possible to cross 1000 USD. so I think the present year is the year of bitcoin.
Nobody knows what is going to happen in 2017 with Bitcoin we can only speculate about it. The only thing that I can think of is that the value of the Bitcoin is going to be somewhere in the thousands.
It just has to happen we have been waiting a long time for it to happen.

That's for sure that no one knows if 2017 is going to be the year of bitcoin. But I would say that every year is going the year of bitcoin.
And this year also is going to be the year of bitcoin as the halving is going to happen.
The good results are going to happen for 2017.
I see people say this kinds of things all the time but I am not sure what to believe anymore because it is not even sure that 2017 is going to be the year of the Bitcoin.
I am just going to wait and see for my self what is going to happen.
Agreed that we need to wait what will happen in the end of this year and the entering of next year we do not know what will happen but me as long as i earn bitcoin i am satisfied in bitcoin.
Well there's nothing wrong with hoping for a good 2017 though. This year has been quite good for me personally, considering i juat started this year as well. Almost got 1 full btc Cheesy well almost.
9936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: October 17, 2016, 11:00:01 AM
I want to know that girls also gamble?

If yes then it looks like the number of female gamblers is negligible with respect to male gamblers. why?
I know that there are some girls that like to gamble as much as some men do but there are not many of them because for some reason women are not in to gambling like men.
I think that it is a good thing that girl do not gamble as much as men.
Well i don' t think they're not that much into gambling as men i think its just that men are more exposed to activities like gambling.
9937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice Games Are So Much Fun on: October 17, 2016, 10:52:21 AM
I am getting the hang of them more and more, and it's so hard not to bet everything away, LOL! My fav is freebitco.in though. Gosh... I have 20k sat there from the faucet, and all I want to do is use it all for betting, ha!

I am not addicted; the 20k is still there, but wow... I have an itch to scratch for sure.

Well if that is your opinion but for me satoshimine is much more fun than dice site. Because you just click the box and avoid the bomb and getting much higher earning in bitcoin as more box you click.
Can i get tips here for dice? I've tried it several times and i really can't get the hang of it and how people like you win that much. Iwas playing it when i started btc but then if keep on losing all my earnings. Is there like a style or technique you guys can share? Cheesy
9938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: October 17, 2016, 10:43:47 AM
The only safe gambling is to not gambling in my opinion.
But everything is life is a gamble, and nothing is 100% safe.
Huh? how can you say that it is a safe gambling if you are not playing? lol. That wont called a gambling. Gambling imo means you are playing, you are taking a risk.

Ha ha. What a freak statement. But I guess you experience gambling or playing games but hate in the means of you are always lost for everybet you take just dont be hasty in betting playing safe is just setting goal profit.
Haha yeah it's not really gambling if you're nit betting and i really don't think there's a "safe" way to gamble because just as you've said, gambling is all about taking risks. You can only gamble responsibly to avoid unnecessary losses
9939  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: October 17, 2016, 10:39:18 AM
Maybe not to get rich, but sure as hell to earn a decent amount of money with bitcoins.

How much money did you earn with bitcoins? Or did you lose some?

Yes I sure wanted to earn decent income with bitcoin that's why I am here. So far I am in the negative side which means that I lose more than earn. I am slowly getting back what I've lost because I am still newbie in bitcoin world so at first I was enticed to join these sites that give too good to be true returns and in the end I lost a decent amount because I did not research about it first and I just believed the people saying that this and that site is paying and I don't have to do anything but just deposit and every day I will receive a certain amount directly in my wallet. It turned out to be scam and so I learned my lesson never to invest in those sites again. I am trading now to slowly get back what I lost.
Well i think thay happens to most newbies but as you go along with it you should be fine. For me when i started, it was postings in signature campaigns and it was just a little at first, then i tried the services section and you also can earn there. Then study trading. I think this is where real earnings happen when you are already experienced and have a decent capital already
9940  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: October 17, 2016, 10:23:30 AM
Quit all and do what? What could I do to earn more, trading bitcoins, maining or what?


Lol, quit your job and focus on Bitcoin, anything that pays in bitcoin like trading, doing tasks or freelancing,  So basically, OP here is asking if you are willing to take the challenge of quitting your day job that pays in cash and focus your time, effort and money to bitcoin generating activities.


A person who is wise and who thinks practically will never prefer to quit his stable job for bitcoins as he is aware about the risk associated with bitcoins and if it disappears in future then he would be left empty handed.

Yeah logically, it won' t be a smarr thing to do except if you have a veey large capital, though that won' t assure you as well that you'll earn steadily as having a regular job. But hell we all take risks, some maybe successful of they quit their job to focus on bitcoin. I think it just depends on how much you're willing to risk
