Of course mate, it has been like this like forever, but you should know that even criminals are still using

Bitcoin, no doubt about that. what I don't get, is why are the speculators hurting the price, I mean the

Price is not what it should be, maybe government dumpers are doing this to dump the price just to buy

Back later? that I"m not so sure though.

You should know that every wallet has access to your funds if you don't control the private keys mate.
If you are using an app to store your coins you better to make sure they are not storing your private
Keys on their servers.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Related Crimes Surge on: November 07, 2018, 11:02:20 PM
Your post made me to go and watch "The first purge" again mate, fuck that movie is funny as fuck when
You think about it, that movie also has a new story, something new to look at something from a new angle
To have a night in every year to have the crimes completely legalized, including murder. nffa or new
Founding fathers. Bitcoin is the same in a way, it's a new idea and it has it's ups and downs without
A doubt mate. what people should know is that you should never tell other people if you have any
Bitcoins. when people don't know whether you have Bitcoins or not, they can never hurt you because
They don't know that you have any Bitcoins. all of these crimes happen because people know things
About you and your Bitcoins, they can't normally know if you have Bitcoins by looking at the transactions
In a site or block explorer, how they can find out is by knowing exactly who has those Bitcoins, when I
Think about it I can see that there is an easy way to find out and get this information by having the
Information from an exchange, the only way for others to know if you have Bitcoins is by having your
Information such as identity and related documents from an exchange, that's why you should make sure
Not to trust every exchanging services with your information, they can easily use that information to
Blackmail or hunt you down. how do you know if exchanges are keeping your information safe and are
Not using them to track Bitcoin owners and take their coins from them?
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to use bitcoin as a medium for collateral? on: November 07, 2018, 09:43:30 PM
Stable coins are nothing but scam coins, centralized coins are what people refer to as stable coins which
Are nothing but scam mate, exchanges make their own centralized coins to do exactly what you intend to
Do, to take money from people and giving them something with no value, true value is what Bitcoin has
Not the stable coins like what you mentioned. using Bitcoin as collateral is not a wise decision to make.
The value of Bitcoin or what people are used to call it as the price is not stable in a manner to make it
Feasible for a long term contract. maybe if the borrower could consent to have his or her fiat based money
Change value as the price of Bitcoins held in a collateral contract to also change value, yes of course
That could work.

6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin is most likely going to die, here is why... on: November 07, 2018, 04:16:19 PM
Mate, Bitcoin will be around for a long time, it's just something that people need, maybe not everyone
But many people will need Bitcoin, they actually need Bitcoin right now. it is something that could change
The way of our lives by helping us to decentralize a currency and have no need for the banks when there
Is no need for the banks. let me explain why we need Bitcoin. you could say that we need Bitcoin to make
Anonymous transactions, I agree with that argument, but what we need Bitcoin for is to have freedom
Over our transactions, if you want to send a million dollar to somebody in a sanctioned country, there is
No bank to do that because countries like the united states won't allow a bank to transfer money to some
Countries. with the help of Bitcoin now you can transfer even billions to any country, most importantly you
Could just send money to a different Bitcoin address without anyone knowing the true destination.
Yes...it might going to die, but I must say that it's not this century maybe the next century coming. But I might even come to your surprise that it might not even die at all.
If you have a good reason to tell us about how Bitcoin is going to die, share and tell the tale mate, next
Century? how could you predict what would happen in the future? if people could have predicted the future
They could predict a decade just about 10 years ago to see that Bitcoin is going to grow steadily with a
Few pumps and dumps along the way. now people say that Bitcoin is going to go much higher than what the
Price is now in the future, next 2 years the price of Bitcoin will more likely double because of the difficulty
Of mining, when you mine Bitcoin at a cost of $10,000 per coin you won't sell it for anything less, since we
Need Bitcoin for our future, we'll buy it at more than $10,000 after 2 years from now.
Perhaps bitcoin will dip into $4000 by the end of year.
Even the price of bitcoin will dip into $4000 in the end of this year it will not a reason die simply because the token will probably die if there is no investors or the value of token will become 0 on the market. Bitcoin will probably survive because the number of investors already become double and I hope it would not happen.
How do you know if the price is going to dip into $4000 by the end of this year mate? for what I can tell
Price went through the roof this year and became much more stable in the past few months, this is the
Natural progression of the price and it will go up every month instead of going back down.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain or Banks: Which has a Better Security for Financial Transactions? on: November 04, 2018, 10:05:46 AM
as long as the bank can't be transparent, we all don't know what they are doing with our money
whereas with the blockchain, it might be able to help us in tracing the flow of funds that we save in the bank, provided the bank has adopted blockchain technology
You do actually know well what the banks do with your money, they build their own fortune and give
You a tiny percentage and say that what they do is just business, they are somewhat right in many
Perspectives but what they don't tell you is that what you are getting by leaving your money with them
Is really a small percentage of what they're making themselves. let's see what is the best thing a bank
Can do? basically a bank would give out loans with high interest with a solid collateral worth more than
The actual loaned amount. what banks have is the support of governments, if you don't pay back the loan
They will have your collateral liquidated but if you were to do this on your own, you'd never be able to
Legally liquidate a collateral because the law doesn't allow you to act like a bank. banks never really keep
Your money inside their vaults, they constantly spend your money over and over to keep their own profit
From your money, all you do is that you give them your money because you are too stupid to work with
Your own money and earn all the profit, banks only work if there are enough stupid people in the world.
Is your money safe with them? absolutely because they are smarter and you are not.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: between terrorists, banks and crypto on: November 04, 2018, 08:05:34 AM
But we don't know the truth because when someone uses bitcoin for the transaction, we don't know who they are and what the purposes of the transaction.
I think that we could actually pretty much know why people are transacting and how much money is
Involved in every transaction mate, with every transaction if you will, there is a price, date and also
Sets of addresses linking them with each other no matter the amount. I can tell you that transacting
With Bitcoin to transfer money is a very difficult task for everyone, you first need a buyer to give you
What you need or want for your coins, then you have a few limited options to deal with, you could either
Do the trade in an exchange and have everything on the record and not just your information but all the
Information of the buyer such as bank accounts, names and addresses and a link to their real life identities.
Or you could set up a meeting with the buyer and have cash to coin transaction which is not something
That any terrorist would want to do, a terrorist would never want to do any of those things because just
Having your money delivered to you through shell companies is better than having everything out in the
Open for the world to see and know about. if you are a terrorist you must be smart and know that selling
Bitcoin is more difficult than it looks like, selling Bitcoin is not as easy as anyone thinks it is, people don't
Go and decide to buy Bitcoins on a daily basis, nobody actually sells Bitcoins in bulk or buys Bitcoins in
Bulk, not to mention that terrorists are not independent from governments, most of the governments around the world support terrorists groups in a sense, having other governments to know that you are
Helping terrorists is not a thing for them. that's what going to happen if you decide to fund terrorists with
Bitcoin, all the government agencies would realize sooner or later that you are helping them because
Most of the exchanges are regulated.
Unless terrorists love to suddenly lose a large amount of money over a short period of time, I can see
No reason as to why a terrorist group would want to have investment on something as volatile as Bitcoin.
I do think what they say is true.
Terrorist wont use something without physical attributes. They all prefer cash, specially USD which is the most popular of all.
It is like every arms manufacturer or bomb creator will prefer it that way since it can easily be exchanged to their own currencies.

It wont be bitcoin. They might not even know about it.
Saying that terrorists might not know about Bitcoin is rather being naive mate, of course they know about it.
What I believe is that most of them have Bitcoins and know everything there is about the technology like
Block chain, I'm even convinced they are investing vast amounts of resources into these new technologies. frankly if these terrorist groups are not in to Bitcoin and other exotic new technologies
I'd be surprised because no ordinary people become known as terrorists, they mostly have great ideas
About everything, they just don't know how to put them in good use in a way that everyone in the world
Could use and benefit from their ideas.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coin War: Can A Country Officially Back Bitcoin? on: October 31, 2018, 05:44:50 AM
What is officially backing the Bitcoin mate? I don't think that there is a such a thing as officially backing

Something like Bitcoin, what would it take to do that? what would China need to do in order to back Bitcoin.

It's not like they could ever control the supply of the coins and say that for every coin they have gold in

Store to back it up.
It would not have any impact other than both coins pumping hard while the others are left in the dark. It is a form of US concern about Bitcoin which is dominated by China. No matter how good XRP, of course we will consider Bitcoin to be the king of cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is not dominated by China, you think if most of the miners are in China that would make them

Dominating the whole system just because people are using the land and electricity of Chinese?
XRP is centralized. It's true.
Xrp is not even a real coin, it's a system where a centralized company has control over the supply.

You can't even mine it, it's not a crypto at all mate.
They can't control BTC like Rockefeller's.
Who told you that they are in control of Bitcoin? believing that a rich family has control over Bitcoin

Is being naive at best, do you really think they own Bitcoin?
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbook/Casino Owner "5Dimes Tony" found dead after ransom was paid in BTC on: October 30, 2018, 12:13:54 PM
This is why you should never tell people your real name if you are a casino owner with a lot of Bitcoins.

Casino owners and their identities should be kept a secret from the public to prevent these crimes, but as

Others have suggested it could be that someone close to him did this to him just to get the Bitcoins.

I can't really say who that person might be but people would usually go for the spouse, in most of cases

It's usually the wife or husband, or maybe a girlfriend or something but you never know not until they

Catch whoever behind this crime. the question is why would they kill the man if they were paid the ransom

As they requested? one possible answer could be that whoever was behind the kidnapping knew the victim

And had no other option than killing the man because if they let him go, he could've gone to the police

And tell them who kidnapped him, in most cases of kidnapping and asking for a ransom, people end up dead

Even if you pay them what they have asked, they say that if you go to the police they would kill the

Person, now they killed him anyways.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible Lightning Roulette SCAM ?!?!! on: October 30, 2018, 11:37:09 AM
I don't have the said experience at live casinos but I know that most of the casinos are not legit, there

Are a few and everyone knows who they are, they are popular here and have a long standing reputation

In the forum. live casinos use all sorts of cheating by rigging their games, most of the online casinos do the

Same if you don't know what you are supposed to look for, if some day you could find a provably fair casino

With the said roulette to actually give you those big wins then you should put them to the test by asking

Some experts on the matter of provably fair, there are some people dedicating their time to help out others

By determining if a casino is truly legit or not. in another post I was talking about the same issue with the

Terms like jackpot and lottery, jackpot is like what you said in your post mate, you would play as normal

But only when you hit a number which they have already told you if that number is hit you'd win big.

Roulette is more like the dice game, both of them depend on the luck, in dice for example if the house

Tells you that if you hit any of the following numbers you could win 60x or 100x, numbers like 7 17 27

In a roulette game it's just the same. provably fair dice or roulette is not a scam if you could find one

To play with similar odds mate.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cryptoslots - Provably Fair Cryptocasion with $1mil JACKPOT! on: October 30, 2018, 11:06:09 AM
How do we know for sure that they can pay out if said jackpot is won? Anybody know what their cold wallet address is? I always like to see proof of funds before I play any bitcoin based casino.
I'm having a hard time believing they have a jackpot worth a million dollar, if they however show that they

Have the said amount, that'd be something, but I don't believe it's real, having said that, if they have a

Jackpot then it shouldn't be like the poster above me just mentioned, you don't need to get any tokens

In a normal Bitcoin based casino, you should have the ability to just play as normal and get a ticket for

The jackpot, if they want to call their lottery a jackpot then it's on them because what they are actually

Offering is a sort of lottery where you get tickets or in this case tokens to enter the lottery. in a normal

Casino, you would only wager and play as usual and get to hit the jackpot by pure luck, having a token

To increase your chance at winning is called lottery and I think that they need to address this sooner or

Later mate.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons Why Bitcoin ETFs Won’t Be Approved Just Yet on: October 23, 2018, 07:11:11 PM
ETF for Bitcoin is not going to happen ever, they are not going to approve it because they can never know

Who has Bitcoin and who doesn't have Bitcoin mate. yes, maybe Trump says something, congress or any

Other government agencies say that in the future they might approve an ETF, but I don't think they ever

Approve it, you need to know that if they approve an ETF for Bitcoin, they'd welcome anyone to sell and

Trade Bitcoin under the law of the ETF, they would give their money to people they don't know or control?

I don't think so. if they say they are going to approve because they only wish for it to be approved but I

Really think that they will never do it, not any time in the future.

After some research I now know that I can help here, I am a member of several large telegram groups, groups with thousands of members. I also have a lot of telegram friends and could do this job.
I can speak English and know more Farsi. remember that there are more than 20 million Farsi speaking people using telegram everyday, I could do this if you let me.
My telegram handle is freebutcaged.
What I know about some dapps, I know of dice games, mostly the games I know are block producers, is this game similar to that?
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we stop Bitcoin's negative publicity?-Rebranding. on: October 16, 2018, 02:51:19 PM
its just a matter of time.humanity used many objects for trade even sea shells and they all took some time
That is what I think as well, time is needed for Bitcoin to be a thing, imagine the time it took for USD to

Dominate the market of the world, Bitcoin is going to do the same over a shorter period of time compared

To the USD, I would say that in the next two hundred years Bitcoin will be the currency of future generations.

Bitcoin certainly doesn't need a rebranding, what would we call it? we can't change anything about the nature

And the name, it's going to be a decentralized crypto currency whether people like it or not.
But I think a little rebranding is very much needed to put bitcoin in the good light.Try to focus on the good things of it, its qualities, maybe it will help it to stabilize or something?
Whats your say on this?
You can't stop Bitcoin's negative publicity because there are people who will put in their time to just to hate Bitcoin and mislead people. Rebranding won't do much to remedy the situation. Mjglqw's answer is one way to maintain the problem from getting worse but it won't fully stop others from saying bad things about Bitcoin. If you can't stand the negativity ignore them, eventually you'll get used to it that's what happened to me after reading several articles and threads.
Nobody can change the fact that Bitcoin is a really bad thing for the banks, that's the bad thing about

Bitcoin, it's really not good for banks and governments.

This wont work the way you think it would, there is no way for a few people to do this task efficiently

And successfully, what you need is a campaign comprised of several individuals working on platforms such

As twitter, facebook, telegram etc. in this way you could track every move people would make to promote

This game. if you ever decide to do a campaign with a set of tasks to be done instead of expecting us to

Just go out there and spread the word, I can help.
17  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you agree with me ? on: September 19, 2018, 03:53:23 AM
I have no doubt about that Bitcoin has made a big difference for many people over the past few years and it will do

In the coming years, yes, most of the jobs are for the IT, but you should also think about the dark web, dark money

And all the fuck ups going on in the real world, some even say that some governments slash agencies are using crypto

In particular, Bitcoin to do black-ops all over the world, some would even speculate that people are using Bitcoin for

Illegal operations such as contract killing etc etc. Bitcoin is not a fucking job, it fucks the people with paper money

It fucks the banks, governments. it's a fucking miracle.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can too many Altcoin's can become a threat to bitcoin's existence on: September 19, 2018, 03:38:41 AM
If you think about it, Bitcoin has a market cap of over one hundred and nine billion dollars while the rest of the coins

Have less. do you know how many coins we have?
So it does slow down adoption to some degree in my opinion.
You are wrong, having hundreds of coins with a combined market cap of less than Bitcoin's, is a competition and

Bitcoin has to think about the ways to compete more rigorously. in the future if Bitcoin wants to survive, it needs to

Offer something more.
19  Economy / Services / Re: who wants to contribute writing crypto related articles and reviews on: September 19, 2018, 03:20:45 AM
There are many people out there willing to do this by doing the good job at writing some high quality articles and

Reviews, there are also some lazy spammers or rather some plagiarizing spammers. you should never ask from them.

If you'd like, I could do some articles for you, of course for a good price.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin ever stop depending on fiat currency? on: August 25, 2018, 03:22:39 PM
If everyone in the world gets into crypto and cryptocurrency will become an official global currency, do you think bitcoin then will stop depending on fiat currency? Or will it just co-exist with fiat?
Would you exchange Bitcoin with something other than fiat mate? I bet the answer is a no, fiat is widely accepted and is

The best thing to get in exchange for your Bitcoins, even if you buy services with Bitcoin, the one selling you the service

Is going to sell the coins and get fiat for them to spend for something else.
it will be very difficult to replace banknotes in everyday life, what has happened for so long will be difficult to replace, but Bitcoin will compete with paper money, it may take a long time for bitcoin to replace paper money, for now it will probably be together until someone relents..
Bitcoin is not supposed to replace the paper money, Bitcoin is here to compete with fiat and banks eventually.
The ability to use bitcoin is still on the hands of the government though I don’t think bitcoin depends on fiat in the first place.
Who says that the ability to use Bitcoin is in the hands of governments? you can send and receive Bitcoin without the

Middle man, the governments have no hands in transactions.
