Cryptsy..
If you have most of your coins in Bitfinex.. there will be little mercy when they disappear.
You called it!  The warning was there if they did not believe you. I stumbled on this 1.5 month old thread and was surprised what you said. It was a revelation!  But on a serious note. Exchanges are not to be trusted with your coins. The rule in using them should be this: Trade them, gain from them and get them the flock out of there!  |

I don't think rushing into such change will be a viable option. Especially when it comes to dealing with money. If it did at some point replace the world's currencies then it would be a gradually and not all at once. People tend to test the waters when it comes to something that can cost them in the long run.

Ok, this should win thread of the year! Or at least thread of the month. Over the top guys. NOW, if OP sells panties worn by his mom, AND they sell, that would be HUGE.
ROTF!
Thread of the month. Really? I thought that would go to the 10k giveaway but that was not content driven like this one has been. That one just has the most hits and views in a 36 hour period until it was closed. This one is still opened and getting replies even after the item has been sold. This is one of those priceless threads that should get it's own plague for shock value alone.  |

^^ Your right connecting those two threads he did not heed the advice he was given and paid a hefty price for it indeed! Losing 1 BTC for nothing is not something to just brush under the rug. And in that amount of time to lose it makes it even a greater loss.  |

I use to gamble for fun but after a while it loses it's luster. So I try and put a wager on smart bets. Those are usually profitable but the odds are quite low. But better to bet on a wise bet and taking little to no risk then betting on a 50/50 bet and taking high risk then losing big. That to me is no fun at all!  |

It's a shame for Atletico that they lost in 2 recent CL Finals. It's almost like they're just not supposed to win it.
That just shows how good they are, not every team can get into the finals of champions league easily so they should be appreciated. Compare to the other team, they are still actually below the others like barcelona and real madrid however they managed to made it to the finals and beat barcelona last season They are so close but just not there yet. It is in fingers reach to get a cup. Just need that extra incentive to get it that's all. An offensive start player to fill that gap that they desperately need is the only answer to their question of becoming a finals cup winner! |

Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature Campaign
|

Its all about marketing, promotion, advertising. What signature campaigns really means is exactly that, promotion of something. How can someone gain from that is easy to explain, more people will hear about them and they will have chance to make nice profit with that.
*Earlier this year, Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent pledged to increase media spending and brand-building initiatives by up to $1 billion by 2016. Coca-Cola spends $565 million on advertising in the U.S., according to Ad Age Datacenter. The company reported spending $3.3 billion on advertising globally in 2013.
*That last one is breathtaking. According to their own Fiscal Reports, Nike spent $3.031 billion on what they call “Demand Creation.” Nike's a little fuzzy on what that means (marketing can be anything from a TV ad buy to a collaboration with a niche shop).
Now you can see how small is this forum, I know we cant compare with this big companies, but this is very good example why companies invest so much in advertising.
I will say that The Rio Games 2016 will be a major marketing event to have these companies who want to promote their brand. Who is the official soft drink company for them? Is that why you mention Coca-cola in your post as an example? I think they own the soft drink sponsorship of the Olympics for all time. |

Economy / Speculation / Re: BITFINEX crashed, bitcoin price falls. Will it recover?
|
on: August 05, 2016, 02:57:13 AM
|
probably the same as the case mtgox, when prices are falling. it will surely recover, but I do not know how long it takes, I hope that rapid rise, not too long at low prices.
the most important thing is the fact of how many coins there are stolen. if it's a relatively low number of below 1000btc, then i am sure the market will go up again. but if there are like 20,000-50,000btc stolen, then i think we won't see the price recover any time soon. let's wait for more statements from bitfinex. So the definite number of bitcoins stolen haven't been correct? There was 119,756 bitcoins stolen from reports that is why there was a huge upset in the bitcoin price. Thus that is why the recover time nearly 24 hours to become fairly stable at $590 now. So I think you got your numbers of the amount that was taken wrong. |

It is about time for Boston to lose at least one game. So tonight just might be your night. Just hope that Big Papi and Mookie don't have a hitting streak tonight and you should be okay with it. But Settle is Settle so don't expect to much out of them really.  But best of luck to you in the next 20 minutes when the game starts!  Bro I am a seattle fan and that hurts... Mariners... mmmmmmarinersssssss! Are losing in the bottom of the 2nd. So sorry for you hurt feelings but they are the Mariners. Don't know what to say except it is still early!  So best of luck to them! |

It is August now and we are well above the predicted amount that the OP has mentioned. It was a shocker yesterday as most thought it would reach under $500 today but it has recovered and is well back to what it was before the said incident of bitfinex happened. So now not to worry about seeing it reach $350 this month. I am pretty confident it won't since it weathered the storm pretty nicely so far. |

Invest but only in a system that you can surely say you can trust 100%. Because if you don't it is just as good as gambling with your money anyways. And gambling is not a 100% guarantee that you will ever see that money ever again. But in this case your bitcoin ever again.  |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Bitfinex Hacked] So , learned the lesson ?
|
on: August 03, 2016, 11:50:33 PM

No lesson learn from this for people will continue to use exchanges and store most if not all there coins in their exchange wallets. So this will happen again and again and again. That is the way human nature is. It is just a never ending cycle of insanity as this is what the definition of it is. Repeating the same mistake over and over again expecting a different result. No matter how people adjust, exchanges are the most convenience means of trading or converting their coins. If you are selling your coins, would you withdraw it the moment you log out? I bet no because you'll be waiting for it to be converted or bought and before withdrawing them. Kind of makes sense but why risk it is all I am asking.  There has to be a better platform to do this on where not all your coins that you have invested are at stake if the system is comprised in anyway. |

No half steam in the teams that are in this one. This is for pride and country! Let the games begin!  On Friday that is. |

Wow, nice run, OP. Very impressive.
And LOL at posters trying to give advice to OP on how he should manage his bankroll. Too funny.
even though i must agree that it is impressive i think he was just lucky and if he is going to keep on playing then he would just lose all his bitcoins But he says that he has a helper in his predictions. Allah gives him the advice on which ones will win and score the most or least amount of goals. If you can't trust your inner voice who can you trust? |
