Received my payment. Pretty unfortunate the campaign is closing. I personally thought you guys were paying way too much for Sr's and Hero's monthly. Maybe one day you guys will return with lower rates for this campaign so it can continue. Good luck.

Very cliche, probably stated in this thread at least a few hundred times (lol), martingale. Most betting sites let you bet satoshi's at a time, so unless you flat out go on a 10+ losing streak, you can make money in short term. However, I'd only bet small amounts. I've been on dice sites too many times starting at .1 BTC trying to use the martingale strategy and I've hit some EXTREMELY bad losing streaks. Doubling your initial bet adds up very quickly, so start extremely low. Nothing above .01 imo.

Playing using martiangle eventually will lose. I'm ever doing martiangle with BTC 0.01 start from 1 satoshi. Guess what  Grin I'm let it bet with auto play for 30 minutes. First glance, I'm getting some profit but I'm looking for 2x profit so I let it bet for next 1/2 hour and finally house beat me down


That's why I suggest using it only for small amounts, adjusting to your own budget. Martingale will only earn you small amounts. If you set it on auto-bet you will lose 100 percent of the time, no matter what. You need to do it only in short bursts. Get a small bit of BTC, and cash out. If you expect to make multiple times your investment, martingale isn't for you.

Bitcoins will be hard for them to stop without shutting down the entire internet. Should a government act against bitcoin, it would drive the price through the roof.

The government of first world countries would never want their beloved currency to go to waste. They are already acting against it. They can't fully go through with it, however. It's a decentralized currency. The only possible outlet they have is putting place laws and regulation that make it harder to obtain or trade. NYC bitcoin LBC exchanges have pretty much been banned because you need a license (which is hard to obtain) in order to purchase/trade bitcoin. I wouldn't be surprised if more came.

I think there is a lot more difficulty in trading bitcoin with a fiat currency, as the fiat part can be tracked without too much trouble, and as long as financial institutions/banks carry out the government's will, it can make it a chore to trade.  What is very difficult to control however, would be bitcoin being used to buy and sell actual goods and services.  It is very effective at doing that, whether the government chooses to act against it or not.  In fact if they choose to be against it, then they will force bitcoin users to operate outside of the law, and that means that they won't be able to capture any tax revenue from sales.

The IRS already wants people to put bitcoin apart of their income if they have any. So it's not like people aren't already escaping the laws of the US tax system. Regardless, I would have to disagree about trading with Bitcoin and fiat currencies. In my opinion trading with BTC is much more easier than fiat currencies because of the fraud associated with sellers and fiat currencies. I'd only accept bitcoin when possible if I were to sell anything, especially online. I wouldn't have to worry about any type of bullshit going on with my money in terms of fees, chargebacks, ect. PayPal specifically coming to mind in terms of ecommerce and online dealings, they do nothing but rob you of your money.

Believe it or not...Chipotle Gift cards....It seems Gyft.com only provides the main retailer stores for gift card purchases. To buy gift cards, or even gas cards, I have to convert my BTC into a VCC or a physical card even which is a giant pain in the ass with ridiculous fees. I end up paying 120% the original price.
3506  Economy / Economics / Re: They want my dna, urine samples to buy Bitcoins In the USA on: September 09, 2015, 10:24:32 PM
Well what else do you expect? Credit card fraud is one of the biggest frauds the internet and ecommerce has ever experienced. Bitcoin, a decentralized currency, and credit cards, which are supported by the bank, simply don't mix. Besides the principle of the two interfering, the fact remains, credit card scammers will always want to find ways to cash out the funds on the card, into real cash. Bitcoin will always remain a target which is why exchanges will never take credit cards.

I'm going to assume you're taking about the accounts that get verified with a blue check mark? If so, you're rarely ever find one being sold. They're only given to notable people of importance. Convincing the owner to sell it is one challenge, and not getting it banned after the sale is another.
3508  Economy / Economics / Re: can gold be a short-term investment ? on: September 07, 2015, 04:02:04 AM
I do not see gold being a short term investment. The only way I see it's value increasing hugely over a short period of time to make it "short term" is some sort of economic meltdown. While it's been "predicted" for ages now, I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future.

People who buy coins like this won't just dump them straight away.

Agreed. I don't believe someone is going to buy a bulk amount of Bitcoins to have them thrown away on an exchange. The price right now is, in my opinion, super low for what the future could possibly hold. A person who would buy thousands of coins would more than likely see the same fate for Bitcoin making it foolish to dump them now when later down the line they'd be able to make multiple times the amount of profit.

What you do with BTC

Trade with it.

Where you spend?

Gyft.com for gift cards primarily. They have almost everything which usually gets me by.


Where you sell BTC ?

Exchanges.

Where you buy BTC ?

From peers. Usually I don't go to exchanges to buy bitcoin because the verification process is a pain in the ass, plus I'd rather no trust them with it anyways.

3512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Cryptocurrency Social Media Network on: September 06, 2015, 03:01:21 AM
It will never have a chance against Facebook, for many reasons. The amount of Facebook users is multiple times the amount of people that's apart of the crypto currency scene. Facebook appeals to the mass market, and that site has a central focus on crypto's. It's a neat idea, but if there are hopes to have it "combat" Facebook, you'll be disappointed.
3513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Need advices and help about Bitcoin's world on: September 05, 2015, 06:37:16 AM
Signature campaigns would give you a good amount of BTC for a "beginner", but considering you're a newbie, you'll make virtually nothing off campaigns. If you really want to make money off Bitcoin, I'd consider getting into investments using the currency. Probably the only serious way to make a good ROI nowadays. If you have some initial capital, I'd go with a direct investment of Bitcoin while it's still low if you want to skip the trouble of other capital investments using BTC.
3514  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: September 05, 2015, 02:11:47 AM
The example you say about the fiat currencies eventually tumbling to zero can be flipped on Bitcoin the exact same way. If Bitcoin were to reach 10,000 a coin, you assume that it would remain steady and that no one should convert to fiat, but realistically you can't be precise if the price wouldn't crash. When we were at 1,000+ a coin, many speculated we would be "to the moon" a year from that, and the direct opposite happened. I don't blame anyone for wanting to convert to fiat at 10k per coin. It's taking the safe way out (believe it or not) which isn't a bad thing.

People don't have to cash them out/ exchange for bitcoin. They could just buy things with it instead, but I guess there's only so much stuff people can buy or want. I think if bitcoin does reach 1k again a lot of people will just cash them out to recoup their losses but the mass dumping will likely send the price going back the opposite way.

They don't necessarily have to cash out to fiat. They could convert it to stock, or even precious metals like gold or silver. The point I'm making is that people will cash out to something a bit more stable if they were to get a giant ROI.

How is this "almost maxed"? You have all defensive buildings at TH8 levels besides a few, and your walls weren't maxed out for a TH9 or for TH8 either. You're basically selling a TH8 account here that's almost maxed. A few of your troops need work as well. I think you're asking for too much.
3516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NSA KNOWS on: September 03, 2015, 08:55:58 PM
It's fairly easy for the NSA or any other law enforcement agency to attach an identity to a single Bitcoin address. No matter how hard you try, you can't escape law enforcement entities like the NSA or even FBI. They know more about you than you do yourself. Seeing as Bitcoin is publicly logged for every transaction you make, it's fairly easy for NSA analysts to go through and single out your addresses.
3517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison on: September 02, 2015, 11:50:52 PM
Well I guess its true: Governments can't stop Bitcoin. They can just imprison its users instead.

Sorry for your Ross.

That's making quite a quick judgement. There are normal users of Bitcoin, then there are criminal users of Bitcoin who use it for it's anonymous and irreversible abilities. You can't tell me that he was wrongfully imprisoned for being involved in the biggest darknet market of trafficking illegal drugs and controlled substances. While a supporter, also a criminal...
3518  Economy / Economics / Re: Just wanted to post the break down of my investments on: September 02, 2015, 11:43:59 PM
I'd say a solid 2/3 of your investment portfolio will end you up losing money. Cloud mining has been unreliable in the past and I personally don't believe they give you a solid return on investment. I'm a bit ignorant on the revenue earnings in terms of actual numbers and percentages on ROI, but, overall, I'm almost certain you don't make your money back with the price of Bitcoin being around 230. Gambling, goes without saying, will always make you lose your money. Even if you're up, you'll eventually lose. No exceptions.

Im not aware of gift codes, but do you mean you want a 12 month netflix account?

If so theres, a bunch of accounts here that last more then a year and are given for free. I got like account I dont mind selling which is legit for the last 2 years so far if thats what you want?

Stores don't sell exact "12 Month Netflix" redeemable subscription codes per say, but they offer things like $60 or $30 Netflix "credit" codes that can be added to your account. The billing will continue to charge your "gift card balance" and take out the money monthly out of your account.

Netflix used to offer 12 month subscription codes.  I've used one before.  I think they stopped this practice a little less than a year ago.  Probably because of all the people who were giving them away and selling them for pennies on the dollar.

Yeah they've had a lot of trouble with fraud in the past. They've seemed to stop selling the 1 year subscriptions online and began selling them in stores to reduce the likelihood of fraud. Seeing as the cards are in store, OP, you shouldn't have a problem with fraud as you would two years ago.
