If the site is legit I don't see any reason why that happens other than God hates you hehe! Try another casino or game maybe?
2602  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ● Why Bitcoin is Not Mainstream Yet & my Suggestions! ● on: December 08, 2015, 10:42:45 PM
The same question could be asked about internet. "Why didn't it become mainstream from the day it got discovered?"

People are just not aware of its potential, they're not informed, they haven't heard of it.
There's lack of interest as well, because of media hyping the "bad" things about it. How people buy drugs, or how they fund terrorist organizations, etc.

I don't think they haven't heard about Bitcoin, it is out there, it's just not needed at all. But maybe sometime it will be needed since we all agree its technology is unique and disruptive like the internet was in 90s.

And all you said well, we can't deny that Silk Road happened and there were many scandals. The black market still moves plenty of BTC per day every day. I know that fiat money does the same but still. With some more years and development under its belt I know it will evolve and become more stable in price (price volatility is still a huge issue in adoption, that's a fact).

Although I agree the are safety issues with online wallets, exchanges, credit cards and Paypal, I've never had a problem and if they really ban you then there must be something bad with your behaviour. These companies are serious and they don't go around robbing people, it would be an scandal.

2604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do people around you think about Bitcoin ? on: December 08, 2015, 10:33:55 PM
They think it's all BS and I sort of understand really, I'm not a fanatic and I can see their arguments. I don't really talk much about it since it's not a huge part of my life, it's just an investment for me in part. On the other hand I really like the idea and feel it is something special, but I'm not convinced Bitcoin is the final form, just the first steps into something greater.
2605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ● Why Bitcoin is Not Mainstream Yet & my Suggestions! ● on: December 08, 2015, 10:31:00 PM
Nice research but honestly it all comes down to just being too complicated and hard to understand for common people. Most of Bitcoin userbase is very tech savvy, they work with computers (not just using smartphone, but they are professionals in the field, engineers, web designers, developers, etc). It's a great unique and disruptive idea, similar to when Internet started but don't expect to be massively embraced anytime soon. Its technology is what's so great so maybe in 5-10 years the concept to new generations would be more innate.
2606  Other / Off-topic / Re: The maximum bitcoin you have in total till now on: December 08, 2015, 10:27:59 PM
The most I have had until now is 18btc. Hopefully I can get them back again in future without needing to withdraw to top up work money which just isn't enough Sad


Wow you are close to 21 BTC which is a nice round number. I had almost 0.70 but I bought some alt coins with a share of that, hopefully I can recover it soon with profits. In the meantime I'm trying to grow my current amount, 0.29 slowly.
2607  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Most paying signature campaigns? on: December 08, 2015, 10:25:12 PM
I just began with LuckyBtcCasino campaign, check their rates because they must be one of the top paying ones and use escrow. I can personally also recommend SecondsTrade, it has some sort of bad rap because there are a lot of users spamming but they always pay on time.
2608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many bitcoin address you have right now? why you have more than one? on: December 08, 2015, 09:15:36 PM
I have like 3 in different systems but my main one is from Xapo as of today and we all know they use dynamic ones so I don't really have access to it if I wanted to.

I recently have sent micro earnings directly to betting site address to avoid dealing with all the hassle back and forth. It's not much of course but I bet some and see if I hit a jackpot once in a while hehe.
2609  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Official Xapo Service Discussion on: December 08, 2015, 09:10:38 PM
I've never had any problems so far but as I keep reading and learning more about Bitcoin I don't like that one doesn't have private keys. Our money is supposed to be covered but it gives me doubts. If I had a larger sum I would not recommend it even if the system works ok. To me this is very similar to an exchange, it's just not secure enough.
2610  Economy / Services / Re: Signature Design Competition!! .3 BTC Grand Prize | ALL ENTRANTS GET 0.01 BTC on: December 08, 2015, 09:04:41 PM
Great entries so far. I'm a graphic designer myself, I'm not very familiar with signature designs and sadly I see I don't have much time left either. I don't want to rush my entry just to get 0.01 so good luck everyone!
2611  Economy / Lending / Re: [LOAN] Need 50BTC For 30 Days on: December 08, 2015, 08:56:15 PM
I click on these threads just for the lolz but then I realize many of them actually succeed and scam people. This one I think we are safe because no one in their right mind will lend 50 BTC, even 5 is a huge stretch.
2612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should people use Bitcoin? on: December 08, 2015, 08:43:58 PM
Definitely for gambling as others have mentioned and I didn't in my previous posts. I can see the advantage there instead of using credit cards in casinos all over the world. However there are and were plenty of not so safe Bitcoin sites, investments, casinos, exchanges that create a bad name as it's not really regulated. If this wasn't the case I'm sure Bitcoin gambling would be much bigger today since it's completely anonymous, in many sites you don't even have to create a profile/account, you bet right away.
2613  Economy / Speculation / Re: 400$ is the new bottom on: December 08, 2015, 08:38:43 PM
Not really sure if it's the new bottom since it's not established in my opinion but maybe in the next upcoming days. It can still fall back to $360-380 like some days ago. Predictions of more than $500 for the end of the year seem a little difficult right now but maybe there's a new pump coming.
2614  Economy / Speculation / Re: 10 BTC. Will I be a millionaire by 2030? on: December 08, 2015, 08:33:14 PM
It can go both ways of course, it can be valued at practically nothing or become a joke or it rise as high as 100k as many said, even more (not so sure about that but there's also a small chance there). If you are really serious and devoted (10 BTC is enough and a big sum) you can try to get 21 BTC like many others do.
2615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever win something big in demo mode and feel stupid? on: December 08, 2015, 07:09:17 PM
I did many times and something tells me it's an strategy of the casino hehe. On the other hand it never enticed me to play actual money if it happened that way because I felt like I already had my lucky shot.
2616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should people use Bitcoin? on: December 08, 2015, 06:01:37 PM
I don't think common people "should" use Bitcoin right now, it's very complicated for most, specially women and not tech savvy people. I don't want to sound harsh but that's my experience. Also to be honest everything can be done via credit cards or paypal, there's not an actual need for Bitcoin for them. Privacy is an illusion and credit cards have insurance, there's no risk and they are instant.

Bitcoin strengths are other things, like its unique technology, disruptive ideas that can be applied or used in the future but because of price volatility and difficult to get a hold of it hasn't found a niche yet.
2617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you play loteries ,did you won something on: December 08, 2015, 05:50:07 PM
I was always curious about Bitcoin lotteries but never played on one, I prefer straight betting if that's the case. The reason is that I know a lot of people that never won anything in a lottery (including myself). That's a lot of money if you sum it all up. Betting on casino games or sports while I'm not a serious gamble seems much more fun and enjoyable, even if you lose. In the end is all the same.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2015-16 Regular Season Discussion on: December 08, 2015, 05:43:45 PM
Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers under 216 points @1.80 as i think this match will get score around 210 points.

That's a safe bet in my opinion, I think the Pacers will slow the Warriors down a little bit (to keep them under 100 pts is practically impossible right now). Like I said in a previous post I feel this is the only game for the remainder of the year that GSW can lose. I don't see the Cavs winning at the Oracle they way they are playing on Christmas day.
2619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2015-16 Regular Season Discussion on: December 08, 2015, 02:05:16 PM
I'm thinking on placing a small bet on Indiana against Golden State today, what do you guys think? The Pacers may not be the best team in the league (or the East) but they are hard to beat at home and have an history of playing hard and slow tempo. If they can slow down Curry and the Warriors they may have a shot. For me this is the only game that the Warriors could lose until next year.
2620  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: Results!!! ★☆★My first time with bitcoin★☆★0.1 bitcoin bonus——from bitcoin kan on: December 07, 2015, 07:05:46 PM
I'm disappointed I didn't make the top 12 but congratulations everyone who did. Also good luck to the top prize winner, that's plenty of BTC   Shocked

Great app by the way, I have trouble withdrawing my balance though, it says I should adjust my local time when I enter my phone number...any suggestions?

Anything I can do about my problem? Thanks!
