bitcoin still not reach to its goal but its stable and already gained full control of worlds future and btc will go ahead more in future and after accepting btc world wide i can say that will be the moment of reaching its goal.
Yes, I think bitcoin is still its developing stage and there are some aspects that need to develop further like transaction speed and flat rate per transaction to pay every miners. I say still not reach its goal because not all countries adapt crypto currency but I believe days come that the world realized the goodness of crypto and bitcoin will be the universal digital money.

The effects can always be good I took my bounty payment to 777 coin Blackjack and made .003 it was only like 20$ but still. It was a good effect!
You didn't make that money from playing in the casinos you just made it from promoting their project which is completely different from the gambling.The effects of gambling is not favour for everyone,for most of the people it will affect their family status so they need to be careful while betting their money.
Even though gambling have a bad reputation ever since but still it can give amusement and can release stress if only handled responsively and today's generation gambling is already a norm and mostly people from every corners of the world find gambling as a source of fun and leisure but be careful not to be addicted in gambling because too much of everything is dangerous.
183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin isn't a legit currency. on: July 01, 2018, 02:48:22 PM
Bitcoin is only used in online transaction as a currency and not all country are using bitcoin, maybe in the future if all country are agreed to used bitcoin as a legit currency but for now the adaptation is not easy.
The legality of using Bitcoins as a currency is totally dependent on whether the government of the country has decided to legalize it as a method of payment in the said country. As soon as legality is given to it, it becomes a legal currency.
The acceptance of every government makes a thing to be considered as legit and in a case of bitcoin even though it was not officially supported by most of the government on entire world but people recognize and adapt its system that makes it very popular, but in reality we know that bitcoin is not a legit currency and the fact that its only a virtual or digital currency having a virtual digital value with reference to a fiat currency.
184  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people are still buying BTC? on: July 01, 2018, 08:13:38 AM
Because they still believe in this coin, and they believe that in the future, the price of BTC will increase suddenly and that is the time they will sell to make a profit. I think we should not focus on new coins, buy BTC or ETH. These are the two most potent coins.
There are only two reason I see of why people still buying BTC and first because if you are a bitcoin believer then this is the right time to buy this coin because this time it has a very ow value with reference of its peak last previous months. Second is there are more people entering in crypto trading and they use bitcoin as their start up capital.
185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I bought on all time high on: July 01, 2018, 06:31:57 AM
Same with me, i bought my altcoins when on ATH.
Seeing the price at this time makes me quite frustrating. But we have no other choice but Holding until the price goes up rather than dumping.
Yes, we cannot avoid to meet that situation since crypto currency is very volatile and all things on it is unpredictable. The best thing to do is to monitor the movement of that particular coin and hold it until there is chances to have little profit or even at the height of your buying price to get back the capital investment and fine another coin that have potential for great profit.
186  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Will you trade Bitcoin to buy Altcoins? on: July 01, 2018, 12:55:02 AM
Yes.If the price of Bitcoin is maximum.I will convert my holding bitcoin into the trusted altcoin.Then holding both the remaining bitcoin and altcoin for my future.If the price increase,it will good news for the holding people.We can easily convert Bitcoin into Altcoin.
It seem always better to hold more bitcoin s or tether when the market is struggling (as it currently is). A mere 10 percent drop on the price of bitcoin  will  often lead to  up-to 15-20 percent drop in the value of most altcoins
Agree with you it is best time to hold bitcoin, thinking about holding altcoins is not a wise thinking and good planning, bitcoin is king of all altcoins, so how can you trade king to buy the slaves, hold your bitcoin don’t think about trading right now in this situation, infect you should buy more than making this wrong decision of trading bitcoin for the sake of altcoins, bitcoin falls 20% at single dip but it rise more than 50% with each pump.
Yes, holding bitcoin is good because we know that bitcoin is the most promising coin even since in history of crypto but in terms of trading I usually used my portion of bitcoin to buy those have profit potential altcoins, because as a trader I should have to grab all chances to gain even on its smallest profit.
187  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the future of virtual currency like bitcoin ? on: June 28, 2018, 01:59:13 PM
We are living in digital era, right now every people using smartphone with internet connection. I am believe peoples will leaving paper money and using digital payment because its more safe.

It is also more comfortable and secure, it is way easier to steal person's wallet when you just are in transport, or whatever else. But it is more hard to steal person's wallet, if it is virtual and secured with passwords.
Yes, but how about the time span for each transaction? we know that until now that is the bottle neck on crypto while making transaction. Like buying bread in the bakery or transportation payment then I think fiat still solve that situation. But I believe that virtual currency today was still in developing stage and someday all its cons will be addressed and crypto will run smoothly in the near future.
188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Wish I never bought altcoins on: June 27, 2018, 01:09:52 PM
There will be time for the altcoyins, they will fall and rise more than once, the market is prone to manipulation
Regrets cannot change what is happening in crypto market now, think that in crypto all coins are subject for being volatility there is a time that its value will go high and go low but that is not permanent since changes is always be a part in the market, instead of feeling regret try to have risk assessment and make some way to be profitable on this bloody market.
189  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How trade safely without any loss on: June 27, 2018, 07:10:10 AM
Lose is everywhere, every investment, project , or business has risk. Like trading once you invest to trading and buy different kinds of altcoins your money have possible to lose. Trading has less risk compared to the other invesment here in bitcoin or in cryptocurrency. There's a lot of people who earn money but they have only few who not eaen because they did not do trading well.
There is no guarantee in trading of having no losses because of coins volatility on a coin we hold and the the coin we want to trade, so as for me to minimize that occurrence the best thing to do is to compute the value of our coin with reference of the amount we buy buy against the actual output after trading and that way it can help to reduce risk of losing in trading.
190  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do we change the public's view of Crypto world? on: June 26, 2018, 11:08:59 PM
Guys we are very much aware how the crypto community through this great forum has helped most of us in terms of our finances but is so heartbreaking that the most of the public views only describes how insecure and unsafe the crypto community is. I do understand that cryptocurrencies are volatile and the issue of anonymity sometimes scares people away but y'all bear with me that if  crypto is explained to you and you really understand it properly you would not make wrong mistakes and get swayed away by panic sales or submit your private key as ethereum wallet address. Is it a public campaign or some other form of tutorial that we should organize to help explain crypto to the world because believe it or not the blockchain technology of cryptocurrencies is being admired by most organizations and some of them have decided to run their operations with the use of blockchain technology. What can we do as a community to help change the public view of Crypto?
I think we should first advise ourselves. Particularly those people who organise scam projects and steal people's investment. Also, the activities of people on the market that disrupts the smooth running of projects is also something we should work on. And then we should start teaching people about the good aspects of blockcain. I think with that, the perception will turn around
Decentralization of crypto currency brings a lot of advantages but it gives risk for the investors since there is no third party involve if ever something not good happen along the way of our investment and maybe that's the reason of most people of why they always look negative about crypto. I believe that if there is only a crypto agency that looks after about the legitimacy and maintain good order in crypto world then it will change public view's about crypto and gain trust for it.
191  Economy / Economics / Re: Beliefs about money and wealth on: June 26, 2018, 03:08:55 PM
Everyones hasn diferent beliefs about money and wealth. See for example 35 different ways of thinking about it here:
https://daringtolivefully.com/powerful-beliefs-about-money

One famous author, not my favourite, yet an influential one is Robert Kyosaki. In his book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", he examines two different beliefs and states that those believes will shape your success.

What of these do you agree with? What other beliefs do you have about money?

1 - Millionaires are greedy, that is why they become millionaires.
2 - Company managers just want to use the workers to make themselves rich and others poor.
3 - Having money is a question of luck, if not of "gods grace".
4 - Debt is always bad.
5 - To make money, you just need to have a great idea nobody thought off.
6 - Cryptos are the way to make money and be successful without having to put effort into it.
7 - To become rich I just have to believe in Bitcoin because many people have become rich doing that.
8 - To become rich I just have to be more clever and streetwise than everyone around to get my share of the cake.

Your turn to think ...

(EDIT: These are NOT my beliefs, at least not necessarily, is just a list to think. Is not the list by Robert K. either.)

I think Money will be there to spend. If you spend all the money you make, instead of saving and investing it, you will never create the financial abundance you can have. Spend money on the good things have its place, you have to enjoy a good lifestyle, But do not overdo it. It's my opinion.
Of course money is made to be spend for our basic needs and in order for us to gain more money we have to learn how to invest and make our money grow for us to buy the things we wanted to have. We all wanted to be rich to be able to afford everything right?
I don't believe on line 6 stating that crypto are the way to make money without putting effort on it because in the first place doing crypto requires time and attention to meet our required obligation and its a kind of work that spend mental activity so it can give stress if not properly handle and generally it should not sound like a passive income because we work for it, striving to allocate time and having focus to achieve one's goal.
192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can you still get rich with crypto? on: June 15, 2018, 01:01:02 PM
Things is really hard when it comes to investing but as long as you are investing on the good project then it has potential that can make you rich someday.

If you risk, invest in the cryptocurrency a lot, and after, you will be lucky to understand that the chosen altcoin has gained really much, you can become rich.
Taking risk is only have a 50% chances to be profitable, therefore before investing a lot we should have risk assessment to have contingent action if something happen and always think that in crypto the coin's fortune can tell and being lucky can give us much profit, but still I see crypto is profitable by making little by little profit in trading and if someone spend wisely from its crypto earning then being rich is not possible.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: How much money do people make with bounty? on: June 14, 2018, 01:49:40 PM
Well, there isn't some definitive amount of money one can make through Bounties. Either you can make a decent amount that might equals to what you get in your job or you could end up with little or no money in your pocket. So, what I suggest is, if you are looking for jumping in bounties, keep it as a side income. Don't waste too much time on it.
Yes, there is no proper and fixed measurement for the money that the people earn for the bounty since we are all different in skills and ability for bounty earnings. There are people that are multi skills and can join any kind of bounty program and others are only for signature campaign they have know and most of all crypto market are always volatile so earning are also in different value.
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: how to choose a good bounty ?? on: June 14, 2018, 01:49:19 AM
To choose a good bounty, you have to make a very good research on the list of available bounties and then decide which one you want to join, read through the whitepaper carefully to have an understanding of the project, check the roadmap and the bounty manager and his previous achievements and also observe the community on their social media platform before you join the campaign.
Yes, getting to know the project road map and the team's background is important but as for me the most important thing I consider and have to look first is the platform of the particular ICO and what is its benefits that can give to the world, because if it is reliable and beneficial to the people or can give at ease for the people in crypto then it will mostly succeed.
195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Future of crypto on: June 13, 2018, 01:50:09 PM
Crypto definitely has a very bright future. The only issue is mass adoption. But there are projects like carry protocol which are backed by organizations having their own stores doing 1 bil transactions and are launching their own tokens these days which will be used in their brick and mortar stores from day one and this make such tokens wantable by the existing customers of these stores. So yes, crypto in general has a very bright future provided these are more projects like carry protocol with which users/customers can start getting rewarded from day one.

Yes, future is very bright future. there are several further scenarios. There is no point in describing each of them. I will only say that it will come true 100%. The market of crypto-currency will recover, as it's still a child (look at the total capitalization and compare it with other markets, the difference is hundreds of times). Money just began to come in the crypto currency...
Even though the movement of cryptocurrency is unpredictable, I still believe that cryptocurrency has the good future and it will dominate in every corners of the world in the near future since the humanity's technology is fast moving and innovating as days goes by, the world is change by technology and so on the people and since blockchain is the product of world's advance technology then no doubt that crypto will rise in terms of monetary system.
196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How long does it takes for a Token to rise the price after ICO? on: June 12, 2018, 02:11:55 PM
Pumping schemes like some hypes from popular persons, the team itself or some groups of P&D, buyback programs, news, hype and trend to the community and the launching of the product, how long does it take? it depends on the ICO if you are going to participate in different projects, the price increases are different and it is situational so no one can pinpoint how long does the token bring you to the moon or worse to the bottom of the ocean.
Basically it doesn't measure by time because of its volatility, its journey in market is always unpredictable and no one can exactly told how it will look like after a long time of holding, as for me I have already tried to hold 1-3 months but still all result is in different and sometimes it goes up far beyond ICO price and there are times also that it is stagnant on its lower value.

I have seen some news regarding hackers, terrorists, and other criminals using bitcoin for illegal trades.
How the police can find about these transactions?
Even if is hard to track illegal transactions, I don't think that Bitcoin can be a danger to society, since the problem is the society and its people.
Since the beginning of the internet this is happening ( the bad people committing crimes)  and no one is willing to shutdown internet because of that, so in that matters Bitcoin should be equivalent. I think those illegal transaction are one of the reasons some governments and the media are trying to depreciate bitcoin, but the problem is not Crypto/blockchain or Bitcoin, is just the society.

Definetly your right bro,that bitcoin cannot endanger to the society,because the problem is the society and the people they use the name of bitcoin in order to satisfied there personal interest,thats why they doing an criminal act like,hacking,scamming,ponzi or fraud with using the name of bitcoin thats why the image of cryptocurrency became threats to the hearing of the good people,otherwise if they realy found out the real purpose of digital currency that to promote economic growth by means of capitalism and we have a wonderful social responsibility.
Due to the design of a  blockchain for being a decentralized system then mostly people have a thinking that monetary transaction through crypto currency is fast and easy without the trace of a real person since it will be done anonymously, but I think huge investment in crypto have also been filtered by means of KYC system and that alone is big help of minimizing money laundering.
199  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Insurance or cryptocurrency investment? on: June 10, 2018, 03:31:43 PM
Dont invest money you can't afford to lose every investment is risky especially if all of what you have is on the line. Crypto currency investment is very volatile so you might panic when things goes red then decides to sell due to your emotions and ending up losing than gaining. So i suggest to do some research first to avoid this kind of scenario's.
Insurance and crypto investment are both posses risk because even insurance company can be bankrupt and lost your money at all, but speaking of opportunity to earn big then obviously crypto is the best, so granting that you already have placement for insurance then much better not to withdraw on it and look any alternative means to invest on crypto.
200  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Reasons Why Many Families Are Feeling Extreme Financial Stress on: June 10, 2018, 06:07:27 AM
Quote
When the cost of living rises faster than paychecks do year after year, eventually that becomes a very big problem.  For quite some time I have been writing about the shrinking middle class, and one of the biggest culprits is inflation.  Every month, tens of millions of American families struggle to pay the bills, and most of them don’t even understand the economic forces that are putting so much pressure on them.  The United States never had a persistent, ongoing problem with inflation until the debt-based Federal Reserve system was introduced in 1913.  Since that time, we have had non-stop inflation and the U.S. dollar has lost more than 98 percent of its value.  If our paychecks were increasing faster than inflation this wouldn’t be a problem, but in recent years this has definitely not been the case for most Americans.

And unfortunately inflation is starting to accelerate once again.  In fact, it is being reported that inflation rose at the fastest pace in four years in January…

Quote
The prices Americans pay for goods and services surged in January by the largest amount in four years, mostly reflecting a rebound in the cost of gasoline that’s taking a bigger chunk out of household incomes.

The consumer price index, or cost of living, rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.6% in January, the government said Wednesday.

Meanwhile, our incomes have been incredibly stagnant.   In fact, we just learned that median household income did not go up at all during 2016.

This is one of the reasons why we consistently see families fall out of the middle class month after month.  Even if you keep the same job year after year, your standard of living is going to steadily go down unless your pay goes up.


The things that we all spend money on month after month just keep going up in price.  I am talking about food, housing, medical care and other essentials.  If there is one thing that we can always count on, it is the fact that things are going to cost more tomorrow than they do today.

Let’s talk about food for a moment.  Whenever I go to the grocery store, I am almost always shocked.  I still remember a time when I could get everything that I needed for an entire week for about 20 bucks, but these days you can’t even fill up one cart for 100 dollars.

That is because food prices have been rising aggressively for many years.  The following is a list that was posted on The Economic Policy Journal that shows how much some food and grocery items have increased over the past decade…


Quote
1. Tobacco and smoking products

-Price increase: 90.4%

2. Margarine

-Price increase: 63.6%

3. Uncooked ground beef

-Price increase: 46.3%

4. Shelf stable fish and seafood
-Price increase: 45.0%

5. Prescription drugs
-Price increase: 43.5%

6. Rice, pasta, cornmeal
-Price increase: 40.3%

7. Bread
-Price increase: 38.9%

8. Snacks
-Price increase: 38.4%

9. Miscellaneous poultry including turkey
-Price increase: 37.0%

10. Apples
-Price increase: 36.6%

11. Frankfurters
-Price increase: 35.8%

12. Canned vegetables
-Price increase: 35.3%

13. Salt and other seasonings and spices
-Price increase: 34.0%

14. Miscellaneous fats and oils including peanut butter
-Price increase: 34.0%

15. Miscellaneous processed fruits and vegetables including dried
-Price increase: 33.7%

16. Bacon and related products
-Price increase: 33.2%

17. Fresh whole chicken
-Price increase: 32.5%

18. Cakes, cupcakes, and cookies
-Price increase: 32.1%

19. Flour and prepared flour mixes
-Price increase: 32.1%

20. Canned fruits
-Price increase: 32.0%

And thanks to out of control government spending and reckless manipulation by the Federal Reserve, we have come to a time when inflation is starting to accelerate once again.

According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if honest numbers were being used the government would be telling us that inflation is rising at a 6 percent annual rate for the first time since 2011.

At the same time, evidence is mounting that U.S. consumers are simply tapped out.  Previously, I have explained that interest rates are going up, consumer bankruptcies are rising, and lending standards for consumers are really tightening up.

All of those are things we would expect to see if a new recession was starting.

And today we learned that the number of Americans refinancing their homes has fallen to the lowest level that we have seen since 2009…

Quote
A slowdown in refinancing pulled down the total mortgage application volume last week as changes to certain government-loan programs made refinances less lucrative. Refinance volume now stands at its lowest level since June 2009.

If you will remember, we also saw a slowdown in mortgage refinancing just before the great financial crisis of 2008.

For mortgage applications overall, they are now down almost 31 percent from where they were a year ago…

Quote
Total mortgage application volume fell 3.7 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis last week from the previous week, and are nearly 31 percent lower than the same week a year ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

A 31 percent decline in a single year is catastrophic.

If this continues, it won’t be too long before everyone is talking about a new housing crash.

And we also learned this week that FHA mortgage delinquencies increased during the fourth quarter “for the first time since 2006”…

Quote
Federal Housing Administration mortgage delinquencies jumped in the fourth quarter for the first time since 2006, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported Wednesday. The FHA insures low down-payment loans and is a favorite among first-time homebuyers.

The seasonally adjusted FHA delinquency rate increased to 9.02 percent in the fourth quarter from 8.3 percent in the third quarter, MBA data show.

So many things are happening right now that we have not seen happen in many years, but most people are choosing not to see the red flags that are popping up all around us.

None of our long-term economic problems have been fixed.  And even though Donald Trump won the election, the truth is that our economy is in the worst shape it has been since the last financial crisis.  I continue to encourage all of my readers to get prepared for very hard times, but just like back in 2007 we are experiencing a wave of tremendous optimism right now and most people think that the party can somehow continue indefinitely.

Whether Donald Trump won the election or not, the truth is that a major economic downturn was going to come anyway.  You see, Donald Trump is not some magician that can just wave a wand and somehow make the consequences of decades of very foolish decisions instantly disappear.

We have been on the biggest debt binge in human history, and there is going to be a great price to pay when this immense debt bubble finally bursts.

Unfortunately, most people are not going to acknowledge the truth until it is too late.

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/this-is-one-of-the-big-reasons-why-so-many-families-are-feeling-extreme-financial-stress

...

I think the main reason Trump won the election was Trump being the only candidate willing to address these issues.

These types of points relating to state driven policy failure and wealth inequality, regularly fall outside the mainstream media talking points and the degree of knowledge one can obtain by exclusively following mainstream sources.

Every other politician I've seen would have swept these issues under a rug and feigned ignorance until the next recession.

Well, you have almost listed the different why's and basically they are inevitable. So personally speaking, the lack of education leads mostly leads to poor employment that leads to poor salary. And we have this continuous increase in different goods etc.Also the lack of discipline on handling money is one of the biggest factors.
Literally speaking families are spending their money  so much more than what they've earn. For me that is not supposed to be happen we have to control those unnecessary things which are not important. Worst thing is save after we spend, you know which is right? save before spend. Salaries are very often to increase which is very contrary to the goods we need to buy. Inform your family with your bills at home so that everybody are aware of what is going on and they themselves will help to be economically thrifty.
