For now, the paper money is still the financial needs of the world community, they can not be separated from it, plus the infrastructure of bitcoin that has not been increased and growing, there are still many products - products that are sold in the market, has not received bitcoin as a medium of exchange trade
while there are some laws in some countries that do not acknowledge bitcoin as a medium of exchange trade

Actually, a lot of the world is starting to use paper currency less and less. There are many places in the world that still rely on using paper as a means of currency, but much of the developed world is switching to electronic payment systems over their physical counterparts.

In a marketing class last year, we had a big unit about logos and branding. The coloring of a logo is actually extremely important, because colors invoke a subconscious response from the viewer. Having gold as the color for Bitcoin logo would imply wealth and power to those who view it, which is much stronger and more serious than what is perceived by orange.

I made about .14 from betting on NFL today. Placed a 6 bet parlay on first quarter outcomes which accounted for most of the profit. For those who enjoy watching sports, I highly recommend giving parlay a shot. You can place very small bets and make potentially huge amounts. Very exciting to follow and even if you don't win, the entertainment is cheap.
1204  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's stopping people from using bitcoin? on: October 18, 2015, 11:01:38 PM
I think a big thing that's stopping people from giving Bitcoin a shot is the public's perception of the community that backs it. The average joe either doesn't know what Bitcoin is, or sees it as internet money used to buy drugs and weapons. The rest of the internet sees Bitcoiners as a cult and generally regarded as the laughing stock of the internet.
1205  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin ever goes mainstream on: October 18, 2015, 10:54:58 PM
It will be when I make my merchandise. Don't worry you guys. I'm gonna do everything in my power to make these items beautiful and draw dropping to give wonderful advertisement for Satoshi's work. All you have to do is give me a chance. I love you all very much from the bottom of my heart because you've honestly given me concepts to believe in, and I'll honestly do anything to contribute to the growth of this currency.

One day, bitcoin will be worth one million USD each, and we can all enjoy our success together.

If you can create artwork that pushes Bitcoin into mainstream, every day life; I will quit everything, pack my bags, and move to wherever in the world you are and work under you as your assistant.
1206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will grow, if we create opportunities for people to earn it. on: October 18, 2015, 10:45:53 PM
I've been advocating this for a while. One of the biggest problems with Bitcoin is all the influential Bitcoiners (see early adopters; hodlers) are so opposed to using their coins because they feel they will appreciate in value, causing a pretty small consumer base that is using Bitcoin. Personally, I never wanted to spend the Bitcoin I had invested. However, when I started earning Bitcoins through freelancing and other methods, I was very willing to spend it, as I saw it as my earnings rather than a speculative investment. A few months ago I purchased a new pc from newegg, and I plan on purchasing a hoverboard from Amazon as well

The more people who hold Bitcoin that was earned, rather than bought, the more consumer spending we can see, which will entice adoption going forward.
1207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2015, 10:42:48 PM
I came across this site that doubles bitcoins I just started using it and it looks promising you can check it out and judge for yourselves.             http://doublebot.com/?a=21340

I would advise staying away from this site. It's a simple ponzi scheme and makes no effort to cover this fact. HYIP is already super risky, but a site falling into this category that doesn't deviate from the norm is an even bigger red flag.
1208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The future of bitcoin on: October 18, 2015, 10:39:24 PM
in future im sure bitcoin will be stable at ~$500 (after mining ended)
more country will be use bitcoin, and bitcoin will be number 1 online payment

If the price of Bitcoin is just $500 per coin after practically all have been mined, then it means Bitcoin never caught on to mass adoption and is ultimately only used for speculation. $500 per coin puts Bitcoin's value at just 10.5 billion, and with consistent inflation I imagine that number is actually of lesser value than today's market value.

How was the tournament promotion? I saw the post on Reddit earlier today, and can't believe I missed it. Really was looking forward to it. Hopefully there is a similar event in the future? Smiley
1211  Economy / Gambling / Re: what gambling site does have a Bingo game? not lottery binggo.... on: October 17, 2015, 06:02:26 PM
if you are looking for normal bingo then try bitbingo.io. The site is quite nice but sometimes lack of players and besides that I absolutely have no idea if the site is still alive, here check this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=995094.0

I feel like Bitbingo is proof that there just isn't any demand for bingo in the Bitcoin gambling niche. The site is very well laid out, and the interface is intuitive and pleasing. It was the first site to fill the bingo void, but never really took off in any meaningful way.
1212  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the next big run-up in price? on: October 17, 2015, 06:00:09 PM
I want to think of this as the push in the right direction.. We saw Gemini launched and some new capital being injected and G2A.COM accepting Bitcoin, and I think this might have

bumped the price a little. We also have not seen any major scandals or scams while this has been going on, so the price could climb a little. I predict a steady climb to $300 and

then a slow decline to $260 again. The $300 level is just psychological price break for people who came in at $250 and are looking to speculate and take a quick profit.  Roll Eyes

http://data.bitcoinity.org/markets/volume/30d/USD/gemini?t=bar

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. People historically have loved to sell at the $300 mark, and the last few times the prices ran up to 300+, we saw it drop right back down to levels before the incline. Hopefully the trend can continue past $300, and if it does hold strong at that level I expect that it could continue up for quite some time.

Hmmmm, is there any information whatsoever as to how this site is paying out withdrawals? Outside of from new depositors of course.

Man, looks like this one is in for the long con. Wish I saw it when it first started but too late to ROI now most likely.
1214  Economy / Gambling / Re: Are you trying to find topics on bitcointalk? on: October 11, 2015, 06:22:35 PM
Personally I like to use this section to monitor any new and unique gambling opportunities that arise. It's good to see what's changing and coming to life in the Bitcoin gambling industry, and a lot of the new sites will offer promotions so you can give them a try without having to deposit, which is nice too.

However, if I am looking for a niche in particular, I would probably do some googling before I consult this section.

Oh my God, give it a rest guy. Your massively convoluted scheme got derailed, quit trying to take the community down with you. You are accusing him of doing the same things that you yourself have been accused of (with evidence), and you are just coming across as a hypocritical lunatic. Give it a break already.

Great ad hominem you got going there guy, I'm sure that will strengthen your argument and improve your chances of winning this little debate you organized for the rest of the community to participate in.
1216  Other / Off-topic / Re: New Math Challenge (may or may not be simple) on: October 07, 2015, 12:53:42 AM
If I solve this can I get a tap on a back? Wink Just kidding.. here is the answer.

Its not possible to get them all gray but they can collide at their maximum/minimum. Also animation doesnt spends 1s on gray so... min/max

Eevery 8s goes a birth and 12s death

We need a real/whole number to get max min. Lets focus on death bar. From begining it needs 3*12 to get full bar with birth and that means that when death bar goes 3 times full animation it will collide with max bar with birth.

Now we 3x death and match with One international migrant.

3*12/33 = 36/33 = 12/11... again we 11*12/11 and we get that 3*11*12 is the time when death birth and One international migrant collide..

Net gain of one person every

.. same thing and we add 13*(formla above)

13*396=5148s that all bars reach (max/min) or the GRAY area Wink

edit: This is example when it oscilates (amplitude) but knowing the exact time i need to count exact time for every of their pos. so i can tell you when it will accure. If you really want it tell me.

I thought that the answer would be every 8 X 12 X 13 X 33 = 41,184 seconds (686.4 minutes/11.44 hours).

It's true that when first started, three bars would be gray, with the death bar being 100% blue. Come to think of it, this may be a tad more difficult than I originally envisioned, but surely there's a unique solution.

Thanks for the input, bud. Let's tackle it some more.

It's actually quite simple, just look for the least common multiple of the four numbers. In other words, the smallest number that is divisible by 8, 12, 13, and 33. I'm not sure what the correct formula would be for this, but just by a bit of multiplication I found that all bars will turn gray every 3432 seconds, however it is possible that they could all become gray at a more frequent rate.

1218  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is it worth mining? on: October 05, 2015, 01:37:43 AM
Even if you have free electricity ROI is hard to reach if you spend money for miners

In 4 years with free electricity, one still may not make their money back? I'm personally not a miner, and I understand it's too late in the game for the general population to get involved... but that sounds ridiculous. With free electricity, OP still shouldn't expect to turn a profit?

Some are pretty anti-mining.   Best way to calculate ROI is something like this - https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator

OP add up all costs including if you have VAT, etc.   That will help you see how long a miner would take to pay off.   Also when you say 4 years are you talking about some kinda student housing where you just have one room?

Ahh I see, it makes sense that you would have to take other variables into account (like heat and bandwidth(?) I would assume). I've been in Bitcoin way too long to still have relatively no clue on mining, so trying to teach myself a little bit Tongue
1219  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bank or Bitcoin Wallet? on: October 05, 2015, 01:34:55 AM
For storing your money?

Let's not fool ourselves. Banks are infinitely safer at this point in time. Sure, we can all spread FUD about how evil and insecure they are, but in a bank, our money is Federally ensured regardless of the circumstance.

Tell that to Cypriot or Greek

My apologies, sometimes I forget this is a global forum.

I cannot speak for everyone on earth, but in the United States, your money deposited into banks are Federally ensured (up to $250,000 I believe). This is infinitely more secure than the 0 insurance associated with a Bitcoin wallet.


And when the banks introduce negative interest rates to save themselves again?

I was not aware this has ever taken place in the US? Of course, there were a lot of banking/credit issues that led to the Great Depression in the 40s, but in response a lot of regulations and safety nets were added in order for the public to regain faith in the banking system. And I do believe that there has not been anything in the form of negative interest rate since that depression.

Strange... not a single mention of Isle of Man in the entire thread. I'm not too familiar with the entity, are they not a nation? IIRC they do recognize BTC as their official currency.
