Bitcoin is giving different chances to people to change their lifestyle by trading and investing through Bitcoin and also providing more career opportunities.  These days bitcoin is providing several services as trading, online shopping, online recharge etc. Bitcoin has converted user-friendly.
that is right, I think people here are earning a good amount of bitcoin from trading and other sources, a lot of people are even earning from signature campaign, there are so many other ways through which people can make good money. it is true that bitcoin is also providing different services including mobile recharge, utility bill payment and online shopping and even in some place people have the opportunity to use bitcoin in their local shops for shopping and even to use it in restaurant.

I prefer investing and trading since both of them are current profitable for now as most of investors are putting their money in crypto currency so it's a good idea to take an advantage of that.

It's always better to prefer both things. Trading is a good way for you to grow your knowledge while learning on how you will get into the market. While in investing, the risk is also there but you will not be the one who's responsible for your profit not like trading, you will work for your profit.
If you are trading you are also investing as well, you should know that because in both you are taking the risk.
Actually I have an investment which is for long term but I also do trading regularly, I live with bitcoin and I have to trade in order
to make an active income.

Trading is a way of investing your money but they have some differences. Just like what I stated above and since you know about it, then you are doing it the right way as you do both things. It's very profitable for everyone to invest while trading as you are maximizing your time and usage of your money.

I think both trading and investing have their own negative points but what you are telling is also good that while trading you can invest which will be more profitable.
to me i will choose trading, and the reason is that i have good experience in trading altcoin, so i fell more confident while trading.

Truly speaking is very difficult to control and restrain my emotions and probably most of the times I can not. Maybe I have to be trained to be cool in some way and perhaps the the best option is to set goals in profit and loss and follow them every time


There is no way you can train yourself to completely control your emotions. We are humans driven by instinct and intuition. Unless you want to be emotionally dead you'll have to experience emotions from time to time. Nothing wrong with that.

As for setting up goald and stop-losses that's a good thing, does not mean you have to stop feeling happiness or sadness though.
yes i think no one can control his emotions 100% , although if you try your best you will somehow control your emotions but cannot overcome them at all.  to me i do not have control over my emotions and specially when i play gambling, there i really find it very hard to control it and may be the main reason that i am not succeeded in big roll is that i cannot control my emotions.

investing for .1 btc ? try to ico launching projects or ICO bounty if you invest that small count is not mistakes but i can suggest if you invest btc makesure you have a more or lot of btc get to 5 or 10 btc for most high represent to good back earn for highest profit
yes that is righ to invest your money in ICO but  i think you need to have good knowledge about the project for which the ICO has be launched, you must have good study about it either if you will invest your bitcoin, is there any chance to get profit from it or not. all these question must you keep in your mind while going to invest your money bitcoin.
5  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Where can I buy a car with bitcoin? on: June 29, 2017, 10:50:10 PM
Until now I have not known car dealers who can accept payment with bitcoin, May be only in certain countries of car dealers who accept payments with bitcoin so we can buy them without having to spend cash.
i my country i also do not think that there is any such place where the car dealer are welling to bargain for car on bitcoin. but may be in some more advance countries where the users of bitcoin are more like in japan where more people may be using bitcoin and where i think the number of bitcoin users are more than other places, and they have already declare bitcoin as legal currency therefore we can expect that in japan may be some car dealers accepting bitcoin for selling a car.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you start gambling? (Because of BCT Promotion?) on: June 29, 2017, 09:37:57 PM
When did you start gambling online (and offline if you do not mind sharing)? Is it because of the awesome Games and Rounds forum at Bitcointalk?

Do you only start gambling after you use Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency) because you feel that you cannot be tracked?

I started gambling many years ago in a casino while I was on vacation. It was interesting and thrilling at the same time. Wondering if there is a way to consistently beat the casino at its own game, it kicked off my fascination with games of chance till this day.
i also start gambling years ago may be when i was in teen age, and now i am 36. i mostly play gambling with old traditional method but now it is gradually changing into modern method, using bitcoin while setting in my own house and play gambling online. although i was already playing sports gambling with local bookings using mobile phone, but now can use to play gambling online that is really fun.

8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SNC] SunContract - Decentralized Energy Market on: June 23, 2017, 11:58:25 PM
Here is a post I made on another similar project. Decentralization on the grid will never work for the following reason. Some of the facts could be beyond the scope for the project, but most of them apply.

Do Not Risk a Penny on this

Here is why:
1. This is not a new idea. I work for a utility company and we have been investing billions in microgrid projects. This is exactly what it is. You create a local community / local grid, where people can support each others energy demands. The only exception here is that they are creating a decentralized buying/selling system.

BUT utility companies are never going to allow this, because it does not pay to maintain the traditional grid infrastructure.

There are already laws in place for exactly this reason, that people cannot sell their electricity to other people directly.

What this company, and other similar companies like trans active grid are doing is creating a token to make that sell-buy to get around that law(which states money isn't to be used).

Here is what will happen after. Governments will realize people are trying a way around and will BAN any asset trading that would lead to violating that law. All the money invested in these companies  and their platforms will collapse.

Utility companies in the near future will be launching microgrid systems.

2. Volatility in the Token Market:  The token that the company is selling again is not real money. They will be used in the platform they are launching, which means people will be buying and selling it ultimately leading to a market for that token on an exchange.

So if I am a person in a small society looking to participate in a decentralized energy production and buying platform, I would firstly have to buy these tokens, and then sell it to meet my real life demands.

But this  token will be traded on an exchange, the price will be volatile just like bitcoin and hence a normal person would simply not be interested in such a technology due to the price variation in the tokens. Because that could mean losing money by selling to the platform as theilr sole incentive was to be informed on who they are selling to, and getting slightly higher price than selling to utility companies.

 3. No Need for Decentralization on grid : Governments around the world buy electricity on smart grids at competitive prices. There is really no need for decentralization of grids except in third world countries where there are problems such as energy shortage etc. because utility companies have a monopoly and benefit by power outages.

But I predict that as smart grids evolve, companies like Tesla will take care of the buying/selling platform by offering something like Uber. But again that requires privatization of the grid.

And all the subsidies and incentives government provides are only to those selling and buying from the grid. They won't offer it for a private microgrid.

4. Smart Meters:
Utility companies have started providing free smart meters to its customers. What this company intends to do is use the blockchain for accounting of the electricity produced and used. But it will require customers to install separate meters which would cost a lot. Things will go wrong, and will need to be fixed.


5. Storage: Storage is currently a big issue for solar. Installing a solar system is expensive, but installing a storage system/batteries is even more expensive. Hence most of the houses that buy solar, usually do it as to only satisfy 60-70% of their electricity needs. A lot of those houses usually do not generate an excess. This means what this entire project is relying upon i.e community buying and selling is not going to be a big thing in a neighborhood. 

What I am trying to say is , that blockchain and grids is a great combination. But utility companies have already started doing and investing in it. In general there is no reason for one resident of an area to see the production/consumption of another, which means that there is no need for a decentralized electric grid system. People have meters in their home and all the data relevant to them is already transparent.

All these companies are doing great work, but I don't think a Token sale is the way to go because once the token is on an exchange, it will kill the motivation of the local resident to even participate in that purchase/sale.  What these companies need to do is find investors for a direct investment than creating an altcoin to just get more money, which I feel is the scammy part.
i do not think that there is anything illegal here, i am sure that people are interested here and therefore the project will be a successful one and hope that it will give a good profit to the investors.

I have never experienced gambling addiction. I feel that gambling is just a game to find pleasure.
People who are looking for profits must have experienced this. I never consider gambling is a job, gambling is a hobby.
yes for the players who gamble only for fun it is not an addiction and they feel that they are playing without addiction. That is right but if the player do not waste much of his time and will give a good time to his normal life.

Sometimes gambling fornfun becomes too much and it can also result to addiction. I think a lot of cases start with people enjoying too much when they gamble. It's not about the profits or the losses but the "fun" the have while gambling. So it's really not safe to say that gambling for fun only can avoid you becoming addicted to gambling.
I think no, people who can have fun in their gambling will never be addicted to gambling because they gamble just for a moment after they will not touch gambling again for a few moments. if you want to know you are addicted to gambling or not, it's easy. you will play gambling in almost your all days.

You can never know, there are people who started gambling for fun and end up broke and bankrupt before they know it. When they have 0 money and still want to gamble and saying to themselves "it is just for fun" that is when they are addicted and they don't know that they yet. It's not that hard to get addicted, so the best thing to do is really to resist temptations.
yes most of the people here join the Casino just for fun and enjoyemnt, but with continous playing they become addicted and start  putting money there and gradually they make their bet bigger and bigger which really make the addicted and professional gambler and then it become too  much difficult for them to stop gambling any more.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: June 23, 2017, 11:10:41 PM
When Im in gambling if I feel that its not working and I saw my self into difficult situation I'd rather quit than to lost everything in my life.When I see theres no hope,why should I continue.But sometimes its really easy to say but its really hard to do.But if I wanna quit I really have to decide,decision making is the only way to leave at all.
but most of the people even they know that the game is not in their favour and ever after losing a lot of money, they do not stop playing gambling but increase it and make their bet more bigger, they become more greedy then want to recover their lost money and therefore they continue but in fact they continue losing money until they become empty handed and lose everything, even their watch, mobile and may more.
yes that is right most of the people do not know have any limit for their game, but they play continuously tell the lose every thing, for such people it carry no importance to know that when you have to leave the game. because they always have in mind to play again and again to recover their lost or to make more money. such people mostly have worst effect of gambling not only on his life but also on their children lives.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: June 23, 2017, 10:40:31 PM
Price matters a lot. Because if you make a polling of users getting into bitcoin, majority of them were into it just based on the increased pricing. So pricing is the one that makes the people into the bitcoin usage and the rest is upon their understanding about bitcoin.
yes no doubt that the price of bitcoin really matter in every field. for me bitcoin price really matter because i have invested a lot of money in bitcoin and if the price of bitcoin goes high it will surely give me good profit.

i think the price of bitcoin plays a very major role in the bitcoin popularity and progress because when the price of bitcoin was not very high before a couple of years ago, majority of the investors were not interested in bitcoin and now in this year the price pump up suddenly so a lot of people and investors attracted towards bitcoin.
yes that is right, no doubt that the price of bitcoin matter a lot and that is all because of the price of bitcoin that is attracting people toward itself. for example in some time when Doge coin was trading high people were giving more preference to it but now as the price of doge so much down therefore no is not even talking about it and not ready to invest a single dollar there. therefore we can say that the price of bitcoin matter.
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin now the strongest currency in the world? on: June 23, 2017, 09:50:09 PM
Bitcoin does not have the backing like other centralized currencies like the USD dollar, so we can not say that its the most powerful with other countries choosing not to recognise its existence and others going to the extreme to ban it but we are on the road to make it the most powerful
bitcoin is now getting a great support from their users, and hope that very soon it also get the support of different states and governments like Japan because most of the states are going to legalize bitcoin, although bitcoin is currently not the strongest currency of the world, but if we compare it with other cyrpto currencies then it is the strongest currency, and i can expect that very soon it will even become the strongest currency of the world, when people will adopt it.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this right time to buy bitcoin?? on: June 23, 2017, 09:30:16 PM
If you believe in holding it for a long term then I think the current price is the best price to buy bitcoins as very soon we may cross the price of $3000 and it may go even higher by the end of the year so at that time you can sell your coins to make some good profits in a quick time.
yes i am also in favour of holding bitcoin, the price is expect to gain acceleration again, because there is noting wrong or negative news about bitcoin instead we are going to hear some more good news which can also cause the price of bitcoin to increase more.  i am sure that very soon we are going to cross 3000$ and after that we will never come back to that price therefore even purchasing bitcoin in the present time is a good decision because the price of bitcoin is expected to increase more in next few months.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin digital gold or digital cash? on: June 23, 2017, 09:06:36 PM
Bitcoin is more like digital cash who has a value of gold. Cheesy
So its both of them in my opinion.
in fact it a digital cash that we have to use for online shopping and online business etc. but currently as people are using it as investment and for trading purposes therefore if we call it as digital gold it may not be wrong. in fact most of the people still cannot use bitcoin as currency and therefore they are changing it into fiat if they need it and want to use it, bu still to me as we are already using bitcoin for online purposes and hope that very soon we will become able to use in local shops also, as they still need to convince about the acceptance of bitcoin.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The power of Bitcoin on: June 23, 2017, 08:07:20 PM
The power of Bitcoin, $10,000 Bitcoin Investment in 2010 Now Worth $200 Million
Lucky for bitcoin early adopters who purchased it from almost nothing to Million, no wonder why many people regret didn't buy it.
But the thing is right here, right now : don't let the same mistake like in the past, purchase bitcoin, mine itu, earn and trade for bitcoin, then hold it for another 10 years. Consider bitcoin has constant increases such as last few years, bitcoin will worth more than $15,000 at that time obviously.
yes no doubt that those people who have invested money in  bitcoin in early stage they are now millionaire, but think even those people who have invested money in bitcoin in previous year, when the price of bitcoin was trading under 400$ they may also have got a good profit form it. and still those people who have invested their assets in bitcoin in very start of 2017 they have also almost increase their price 3 times and still i hopeful that those people who will invest their money right now in bitcoin they will also get a decent profit from bitcoin after some time, they just need to hold their bitcoin for some time.
16  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When do YOU sell? on: June 23, 2017, 07:32:35 PM
I will sell my bitcoin when the price is right.Because they predict that bitcoin for 2017 will be at 2000$.I have to hold my BTC and wait for the high price so that before entering year 2018 I build my own house.There should be a proof  that BTC makes changes especially in home finance that the stage of my life be level up.

At this point, im not selling unless its completely necessary or like an emergency. If i can use money aside from my btcs i would prefer to spend it as i realize how storing btc would be essential in making more profits once the right time for selling comes, which i don't think is here yet.

That's why its is important to invest only an amount that you can afford to lose. So you don't have to bother to sell it if an emergency has arises. As for me, I just invest just a portion every time I can. And not invest to big because it certain situation, I will not have to sell it. Just saying.
Keeping some money for emergency is better for those people who cannot withdraw immediately while those people who can withdraw immediately like who have their bitcoin debit cards then they will have to invest their money in bitcoin. As with bitcoin debit card they can cash their bitcoin within a minute from any ATM.

Even they can withdraw anytime, having the Bitcoin debit card, it's not a good idea. Because we don't know when emergencies will happen, what means it can happen while the BTC price is cheaper than the moment you bought it. So you will lose money by converting it to fiat on that moment. Emergency money should still continue in fiat, it's safer. Just sell BTC more expensive than you bought.
Yes, it is good to keep the emergency money into the fiat and to be honest the emergency money means that it should be something kept in the local currency so that it works immediately. If in case of emergency you go and look for the ATM booth to withdraw money from it then I am scared it is not something you are talking about emergency because emergency needs immediate response.
in fact some people invest everything they have in business and do not left anything with them. and when they need it they have noting left. then they try to get loan from his friend or from bank. and some time even he sell something precious he has with a cheap price. so it is most important that we must keep some money in cash so that when we need it in emergency we can use without any problem and do not feel the need to take loan from some person or from bank, or to sell anything precious for getting money.
17  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: did you place all your funds into bitcoin? on: June 22, 2017, 11:58:06 PM
I can't place all my funds into bitcoin because I was scared that one day bitcoin were declared bankruptcy. But I put enough fund as investment for the future value of bitcoin.
no never i will never like to place my fund in bitcoin but will put 70 to 80 % and that is only because i am sure that bitcoin price has too much potential to increase its price and it will surely give me a good profit. although i want to put all my fund in bitcoin but i want to save fund for my personal use so as to fulfill my personal needs with it, and can also help me in case of emergency if i need it.
18  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: June 22, 2017, 11:21:14 PM
Noo im not addicted on gambling because first of all i can control my self not to gambling that much secondly i can control my temper not to be greed and every time i made profit i secure that not playing too much will be more safer than to be addicted and to be greed all the time.
When we are not addicted to gambling, there is no guarantee we will always win every game we play, but I think, if we are not addicted, there is a guarantee for us not to lose more than those who are addicted. We can still control ourselves when it's lost, but the addicted tend to get out of control when losing and it's hard to stop.
i think addiction do not have any concern with your winning or losing, if you are addicted it mean that you find it hard to stop or quit gambling, in fact there are so many addicted people who are really making good money form gambling, a lot of people are losing money in gambling and they still continue playing gambling because they are addicted to gambling and they find it really hard to stop playing gambling, but the are welling to continue playing it.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: June 22, 2017, 10:51:48 PM
Do not forget the fact that it is also smart if we know our limitations.

How are you smart if you only know when to stop? You cant make money all the time and stop when you get the money. In fact if you want to be considered smart then you should gamble the smart way which is to play with EV+ betting. Thats the only way that you will be considered as smart otherwise there is no
yes to me one can be smart  in gambling if he have good experience in gambling and may have good gambling skill and tricks, he must spent good time in casino so that he may know the right time to play and when needed to stop. getting experience and gambling skill are also too much  important, and one can get such experience if he has spent a lot of time in gambling.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin may not be number one for long on: June 22, 2017, 10:19:33 PM
Bitcoin will always remain Bitcoin: the first, the original, the best. Ethereum will remain Ethereum, it will never replace Bitcoin.

yes you right bitcoin will always be bitcoin and yes it is the first crypto currency in the digital world and as compare to bitcoin ethereum is like the newest crypto currency and it has nothing to compete with bitcoin because looking at the price of bitcoin it is the number#1, looking at the popularity of bitcoin it is the first and also some countries has legalize bitcoin which prove that bitcoin will remain number 1 for long time.
no one know about the future that what is going to happen to bitcoin or any other currency, but if we study bitcoin and some other good potential crypto currencies we come to the conclusion that bitcoin will remain as number one for a long long time, because still the community of bitcoin is more than any other crypto currency, and on other side the popularity of bitcoin is also increasing more than any other crypto currency.
