1741  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading altcoin and holding bitcoin which one is more profitable? on: August 24, 2017, 08:29:46 PM
Trading bitcoins is actually more profitable, but with more profit comes more risk so we should also note that when trading. The market is a very scary market and only the serious ones should even attempt trading the currency.
Yes but it is very risky and costly. Normal people can not afford that loss. Sometimes the Bitcoin will give big loss for a long time. But now the time is a favor to bitcoins. Suppose if we lose today again tomorrow we will win. So investing in bitcoins is good. For day traders altcoin trading is best, and yes it is profitable.
Yes so the most important is to analyze whether bitcoin prices will increase or decrease. So with so then we can do the strategy appropriately. There is no harm to work hard and get satisfactory results, holding and trading also must have advantages and disadvantages of each. Do not be afraid to take action because we will be risking our future and also the family to be able to get a better life guarantee economically.
Trading and holding both are great but vary person to person. Trading does not suit everyone. Some people are not designed to carry on trading but others have very good understanding of trading. As far as holding is concerned, it is kind of better than investing because of little risk it offers.

The simple option in front of all of us, is investing into bitcoins and holding it for years. I guess it will be 100x better and profitable compared to trading altcoins as now a days most of the coins are coming with no proper reasons.

The op has asked for some easy jobs and not asking anyone's guidance to join any signature or social media bounty campaigns. So why are you all guys disheartening him ?
If he has skill on anything, there are many who are willing to provide micro jobs, irrespective of ranks. And yes, although very few, I have seen campaigns accepting newbies as well.

I have read from ETH News that the Central Bank approves licenses for two cryptocurrency exchanges. Do you think it is true? They said the implementing rules are still to come out. Is it really true?

How will it affect the Philippine banking system?
I don’t know if that’s true, because I haven’t seen anyone from Philippine say that such happened. I’m not used to believing these online sources, most of them usually fake news to broadcast and put people into confusion. But if such happens to take place, then it will make things quite easy for those using Bitcoin in Philippine. But I do feel bad about in a way- what if the government starts tax for it.
1744  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Is Not Really A Good Money on: August 24, 2017, 02:43:14 PM
Either we increase the issuance limit from 21 million, or we get a financial crisis and depression.  I imagine most of the developers will be open to talking. 
Developers have absolutely no real power whatsoever.

What makes BTC a much more free money than gold or silver is that anyone can run any client at any time.  You want 100 kajillion coins?  Go ahead, have them.  Good luck getting everyone else to run your stupid client.

The only power that developers have is producing a client.  If the economic majority want to increase the supply of coins, they'll run a client which increases the supply of coins.  If the economic minority still don't want to increase the supply, they can keep the supply and that's perfectly fine.  The same applies with all of the other consensus rules, such as the block size.
Another major weakness of Bitcoin is transparency.  In order for the public to hold the elites accountable for their monetary actions, however partially, the easier it is to observe and monitor the system, the better.
Handing gold from one place to another is almost 100% untraceable, just like physical cash.  Moving Bitcoin is many times more transparent because every single transaction is accessible on a public ledger.  That means that you could see banks shifting money between each other and all other economic activity that takes place.  BTC would massively increase transparency unless banks attempted to keep their addresses hidden, but that would be tough since people can see the addresses they deposit to (if they even deposit to a bank at all).
Lmao…truly for those old fashion men. Fools keeps on talking trash about Bitcoin; saying things that don’t even have meaning, while experts are a whole lot busy making money through Bitcoin. I’ve seen some people said all sorts bad words against Bitcoin, but are now investing into it. Let them keep on wasting time, while others quietly makes money.
1745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: August 24, 2017, 12:43:16 PM
It's really hard to control your greed on gambling as long as you win, you want to continue playing. You want more money, but if you lose you want to take your money back that's why you continued to risk your money. I think the best way to control your greed is to never start gamble or if you can't control yourself to start to gamble just give yourself a limit. For example, you can bet until 100$ of you win you can continue playing but if those 100$ lose that's the time to stop playing.

Human is greed. It is already rare that you can win because of the house edge. And when you win, you already know that you are on luck right now so you will naturally think that since you are able to get $100, you will be able to get another $100 and so on. This is the same as stock market also. You will keep pray that the stock price will keep going out so you can earn more and may overbuy with no balance profile.
Exactly it is! Your brain automatically think that you will always can get easy money.
As in the previous game you have won easily too , then why not to give another shot?
They don't know that the house edge will eat you! It will make you get nothing but only house edge get the profit.

Absolutely, our mind always thinking to make money and search the way where we could earn money in a less time. We are always greedy for money more than love, and in gambling we see that we could come true our dream of make money. Also i agree with you, when we win in a bet then our mind convince us to do more bet and more win. But we don't know the next step.
In our world now, money is almost everything already on which theres a point on which happiness can already be bought by money and as a normal part of a human being the feeling or being greedy is always been part of us in which we would really see on gambling that it is indeed the fastest way on making money in an instant but without caring too much on the possible risk of it.This is the thing on which most people do really fall.
Yes, it has become a common thought among all of us that money could buy you happiness and contentment in life. However, this is not the reality.

Having money or a good bank balance and being happy are two different things. If someone gambles and wins a huge amount just for the sake of his treatment and medications, then how could it be that he is happy with his present state?
1746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: August 24, 2017, 08:47:38 AM
Find something else that are brightly helpful to you, Because if you become an addict or already addicted unto it, it will be hard for you to quit and surrender it. The addiction was one of the reason why majority of the gambler can't leave the gambling sites. So, Why not change your game in PSP, or mobile android games, DOTA in desktop.
It is really hard to quit in gambling if we are already attached into it most especially if we can't control our ego, but if we can find something else that can make us entertained and not bored then that is also good. Online games can also help but maybe it is not that good, it is helpful if that addicted person can do zumba or jogging, or maybe go to gym for his/her fitness.
When you're that attached to.gambling, of course its difficult to quit. You have to have a plan on how to do it because if not, you're probably not going to sustain being out of it very long. Make use of time. Lessen the amount of gambling every now and then. It would make it easier than suddenly ceasing all gambling activity
Yeah I also agree, maybe they can quit little by little, slowly but surely, we cannot force ourselves to just stop especially when we are already attached into something. It is so hard to move on when we are addicted so we really need also a help of our family, relatives and friends. It can be possible if you just have a determination for quitting.

It is really not going to happen in an instant, I mean, quitting gambling? It is a very tough thing to do, especially if someone is really addicted on it. Just like what you have said, it could be done step by step, and every step must be planned and accurate. Maybe it would hard to do in the first time, temptation must be ignore, something like that.

But days will passed by, we will see that we are already over with gambling addiction, we started to realize that it is not worth it, and it is just a waste of time.
After having a lot of gamblers experiencing the failure in quitting gambling, it won’t be just meaningless to say that giving up on gambling is not a piece of cake at all. In my opinion, there could not be a step by step guide to give up gambling .if you are greedy enough and have made money with it, and then surely you would fail on the first step. The only way out of it is to be realistic and consider the harsh realities.
1747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Help Me! on: August 24, 2017, 08:21:19 AM
Just let go  your losses you can't recover it. It's your fault don't gamble if the money you'll bet is important.
Learn from this incident and don't be a die hard and thinks that you'll be able to recover it soon.
This is the world of gambling. He breaks one of the basic rules...

"Bet only that much amount of money that you can afford to lose"!

Now, if somebody breaks the rules, he has to face consequences and the best will be to not try recouping the damage by gambling again. It will be a desperate and fatal move. He must get the lesson out of it and give up on gambling now.
1748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: August 24, 2017, 07:34:18 AM
In gambling we just know about two things
These are
Win or lose
But the question is when you do betting
You always lose
You do realize about it but why we still go through on betting place?!!!
Apologoze if my topic have already exist it just about my interesting about your opinion about my experiences
In my own point of view people still gambles even they always lose is because they think that they can get back all of their money that they have loss and because it gives them enjoyment or it entertains them. That's why learning to gamble is very wrong because it can ruined your life by losing your money that you have work hard for it.
Yeah, the only reason not to give up on gambling even after repeated failures is being addicted to it. Most of the people start it having in their minds that it is just a way to enjoy their free time.

If someone is losing again and again without being dishearten, then probably he won’t quit it all through his life. The best way is to leave it if you are losing again and again instead of trying your luck again and again so as to win back your losses.

Thank you, this is a very interesting article !
So you read an article about bitcoin. Now let me tell you some more. If you want to know then forum like this are absolutely an option for that purpose but along with that if you don’t do practical work you will never be a master of bitcoin. I always insist on practical work whenever I tell some new person about bitcoin. Just get knowledge from internet or somewhere and implement it in your life. It will help you to know the behavior of bitcoin value in market which is the most important thing
1750  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I dont understand this market ! One day UP and one day DOWN on: August 23, 2017, 08:57:04 PM
Welcome to bitcoin. The 'hot mess supermodel'. When it works it's great.
When it don't she's a Banshee. If you plan on sticking around, you'll be
in this constant pattern

Bitcoin: Always Drama 🌪

Actually, Bitcoin is "Always Drama" only if you are spending all day reading the crypto sites for news, bitcointalk for postings and social media. If you are like a lot of other people who only bought Bitcoin and read about it in mainstream media, you would never realise even an ounce of the drama we hear and read about all the time.

This makes it no different from oil drama, or gold drama... etc.
Excuse me! You really need to get your facts straight. There is nothing drama about bitcoins. They are the most used crypto currency and most chased one. If you are having no bitcoin or gave up on them in their hard times, you have the right to talk such about bitcoins. But people know very well which currency is worth investing. 
1751  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: give me some tips about trading?? on: August 23, 2017, 07:53:45 PM
There are tremendous opportunities out there and if you can encash micro percent of it, you can still earn handsome profits.

Mainly you can go with simple pair trading like USD/BTC which is all about buying Bitcoin with USD (or your local currency) when the price is low and selling it when the price will be more than your purchase price. You can do it on any exchange, there is no big deal with it.

Alternatively, you can go with multiple pairs like BTC/ETH, BTC/LTC, BTC/BCC etc and replicate the same process which you do in normal USD/BTC trade. Since the crypto market is wild, there are comparatively higher chances of making profits (and even loss) due to sharp ups and downs.

The third method is again sticking with USD/BTC (or your local currency/BTC) but with more payment options for the buyers and sellers. Example: Buying bitcoins using multiple payment methods through sites like Localbitcoins and selling with same methods. If you can manage to handle multiple pipelines (payment processors) then you can easily earn up to 20% per trade.

Please do your own research before adopting any of the above-mentioned methods.
Trading requires good analytical skills and research. However, the most of tips you will make out in the practical field. Trading involves risk so first of all you need to stay calm no matter what the situation is. In start, invest with small amount to get some experience and buy coins when the prices are low. Stay patient and sell out the asset when it is in pumping phase.
1752  Economy / Economics / Re: When Bitcoin will be taxed, will it still be as in demand as it right now? on: August 23, 2017, 06:37:20 PM
First of all taxing bitcoin is a pretty hard thing to do as the owner of bitcoins can't be identified by address itself. But government can tax the bitcoins only when we sell them for bank transfer as there the KYC is necessary and banks are also involved, otherwise there is no way to tax bitcoins as far as I know.

At some point, you will have to spend your bitcoins or encash them for fiat. That is when governments will check if you have been regular with your taxes. If you have evaded taxes, you can get into trouble.
Getting taxed for the use of Bitcoin is unlikely to happen, but if it does happen, the situation people find themselves in will determine whether Bitcoin will be in high demand or not. If people happens to be making more profits than they’re being charged, then they continue. But if they feel like they’re losing, they will quit from it.
1753  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Should I Choose Bitcoin ?? on: August 23, 2017, 06:16:16 PM

The risk is big, the income is big, I mainly still do the competition coin Grin
It’s always good to see people discussing the reasons we should be making use of Bitcoin. My own very reasons are too many, but to mention a few, I would say it’s due to its fast transaction, being a safe platform for investment and savings, it’s cheap, out of control of the central government, your payment information can’t  stolen, no charge backs and a lot more.
1754  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we make more money? on: August 23, 2017, 03:34:37 PM
Can be successful in trading it depends on self confidence, especially we are not afraid to issue capital in the trade and can read the market price movements, of course that we can always benefit. Although in trade must suffer losses as much as possible we should be able to minimize such losses.
From the results of trading can be invested in sites that have been proven to pay, and the money we invest can be increased. From these two things we can become successful people by way of trade and investment.
Trading is good, but is mainly for those that has enough money with years of professional experience.Signature campaign is okay, since it’s free to join and you will also get to earn a lot too, if not much, at least a decent amount. For faucets, I would say that’s for newbies to get experience, but it won’t pay much.

There are also affiliate jobs, but I don’t know how it works. Working as a writer, UX/UI designer and other engineering jobs will help you earn more than enough; the sky is the only limit to what you can make from it.
1755  Economy / Economics / Re: How long could bitcoin last? on: August 23, 2017, 03:11:07 PM
As it is growing day by day we can say that it wont be ending and crypto market will be growing more rapidly as there are millions of peoples connect to internet, bitcoin and online stuffs which will make it running for years and years. 
LONG LIVE BITCOIN!!!!!
Same is what I think about crypto currencies. They have just started their journeys.
Billions of people are still not familiar with these currencies and the advantages they provide to the users. Still that time has to come when these currencies will be ruling the world especially bitcoins. So, I don’t think so they are going to be a part of past ever.
1756  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin a good way to invest your money ? on: August 23, 2017, 02:38:54 PM
Yeah Bitcoin is quite a good investment. It is so good that it is often compared with gold. The price of Bitcoin has always risen in the long-term. It rose from 10 dollars to a massive $US4700 in only ten years. There is guide on this forum. It tells you to buy some Bitcoin and “forget” about it for six months. The price of Bitcoin is rising so much that it is said that you will probably have doubled the original money that you had invested in.

If you have some money to invest, I would suggest you do it in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is an amazing investment. I have earned much from it and I completely suggest you to invest in it. It will almost definitely give you a profit.
Yes, bitcoins have increased in price drastically in last few years and have produced many new millionaires. The best strategy to be rich with bitcoins is not to give up on them when prices are dumping, rather just stay patient and wait for the time when bitcoins pump hard because it is the history of bitcoins, that after every dump they do pump hard.
Bitcoins are digital gold. Invest in them as much as you can.
1757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I suddenly decided to leave gambling alone. on: August 22, 2017, 09:17:05 PM
These kind of decisions would really normally come out when we already realize that we are already doing the wrong thing and as a person you would really think off on the responsibilities that you should do and prioritizing the important things into your life because if someone would only focus on playing gambling i would say that hes too selfish on doing such thing because hes just thinking of on his own happiness without thinking that hes already gradually destroying his own life together with his loved ones.
The best way to get out of gambling is to take a break, think about what gambling has done to his own self and how will it affect his future if he stays in it. I f someone truly loves himself then I think he would not gamble. Why to play with your own future and ruin it while you have the time to improve it. Considering examples of other failures will add oil to the fire.
1758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: August 22, 2017, 08:55:38 PM
Those games that are based only on luck can not bring constant profit, but sports bets that can be analyzed with the right approach can make a profit. But I do not consider this a good option for earning.

They are really not the best way to make money and of course in many countries they are banned as well and illegal. I think sports betting is better than simply betting on dice and other casino games. All EV- games need luck and no skills are involved there - either you are lucky or not. But in Poker and sports betting there are ways to outsmart the opponent and you can use your skills to win the games.
sports betting is definitely one of the ways you can reliably make profit, but it requires a lot of research and time to reliably predict outcomes.
From the available data, the outcome can be predicted but predictions can be wrong. Me and one of my friends use to bet on cricket years ago.

He was a big fan of cricket, knowing all the details and I hardly knew the name of whole team but still he only won two bets in whole life. He used analysis while I relied on my guts. However, now the success percentage is shown on the TV "during the match" and it is always right.

The scene in sports betting is also biased specially in cricket and the Indian cricket industry runs on match fixing. Everyone knows that still people go crazy over matches. Almost all matches are fixed and they are how the bookies are run. So the fixed matches are both easy and tough to predict  because in this case the luck factor comes into play and it becomes like dice unless the match ends in a draw - even then it may be fixed match no one will know it except the bookie.
Are you insulting Indian Cricket Industry? Well, if yes then I really don't care but it is true. Cricket has billions of the fans around the world and I think it is at number one in this matter so this can be true. If you can make more money by losing; then why to go through all troubles of winning! For normal people, betting is just pure luck.
1759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 21, 2017, 07:05:49 PM
I guess gambling will only be wrong if you won't be putting your own money at stake. If you will gamble amount you just borrowed from others then you won't be paying when you lose.

You'll never get wrong in gambling, if you set in your mind that in the end you have more chance of losing money than to win more. Gamble what you can afford to lose. Gamble for fun, if you win and earn money then you are a lucky one. It's all about pure luck ;-)

That's just my opinion, we all have different perspectives about gambling.
Gambling in my view is wrong in both the cases. Either you gamble with your own money or with the one that has been taken as a debt, it would definitely be harmful to you in the end.

I agree with you on the stance that while gambling, it should be kept in mind that there are greater chances of a loss than winning something valuable in return. Gambling being a luck based thing has nothing to do with the strategies or experience; it only pays you off if you really have a good day.

I dont think that BCH will be more in value than BTC by 2020. Its not public and trusted enough.
It is highly absurd to even imagine that bitcoin cash can surpass bitcoins by any means in the coming years. Bitcoin cash is another shitty coin and is hugely dumped few weeks ago. The bitcoin holders are never ever going to support this coin. Besides there is nothing extraordinary in this coin, that will make him over power bitcoins.
