1221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin's future on: December 24, 2017, 03:28:50 PM
Litecoin was regarded as silver to Bitcoin. However, its performance is much worse than Bitcoin.

What's your view on Litecoin's future? Will it catch up or continue to underperform?

I think it will definitely catch up, due to the latest transaction REGULAR fees required for BTC and the time it takes for the transaction to be completed and if I remember correctly litecoin blocks are generating 4 times faster, than bitcoin blocks, so right now LTC might be useful for fast transactions. And even though its price has been undergoing spiral downward for the past week, still it has gone up in price by 10 times since May 2017, so I still believe LTC will be highly sought.

What would you do if Saturday Morning you wake up  and Bitcoin Price Drops to 0.89 cents?
i dont think that is possible mate  😉 if it does happen then i would buy 25k BTC in that day cz i think that's the perfect opportunity to do so.  Grin


I like your decision. I would buy as much BTC as I can if crash that big happens. But it's very unlikely to happen because a lot of real market players have invested in bitcoin and I think won't allow such a crash to happen.
1223  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin Die Because of China? on: December 18, 2017, 05:44:42 PM
Bitcoin can't depend on china and bitcoin never die for china. Bitcoin is better without China. Actually china doesn't want a happy crypto currency, they always want to destroy someone. It is true that bitcoin never can die only for China.

Why do you think so? I agree that bitcoin can't depend on Chinese or any other government, but why do you so hateful about China in general? There are many different people living there, some of them support bitcoin and some of them don't, but isn't the situation the same in any other country?
1224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do if Bitcoin Price Crashes on: December 14, 2017, 05:15:15 PM
Crashing to 0.89 cents is a dream of many people here, and I am one of those people, because it would be a great opportunity to buy a lot of coins. We all know that bitcoin will go back to it's real value, which is definitely higher than $10k so buying under $1 is a dream. Although I don't have much money I would find a way to buy 100+ BTC in that case.
1225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which makes sense to buy a bitcoin or to buy a altcoin? on: December 10, 2017, 02:14:17 PM
I want to buy altcoin or bitcoin for investment purposes before January
Which one do you recommend to buy?
Or some bitcoin and some altcoin?

I would recommend you to buy both (60% and 40% bitcoin and altcoin, respectively). There's no doubts that bitcoin will rise in value sooner, or later, but with altcoins, unlike with btc, you should be careful and check its price every day, if not hour, because their price is much less predictable, but it all depend on which alt you choose, I would recommend ETH, it is stable, but there's no guarantee that its price will alter much.
1226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still support Ethereum? on: November 28, 2017, 06:41:40 PM
I can't name any other coin/token, which failed more times than ETH. It's not about loving or hating it, it's all about people losing money, because of situations which can be avoided. I would care less if these ETH based projects were not asking money from the masses, but that's not the case. And believe me when I'm saying that Ethereum has some powerful lobbyists. Otherwise its price would be probably 1/5 from the current one.

Didn't we had enough of this?

Yes. I will support Ethereum, I don't think it failed many times and it is involved in a lot of interesting projects, its price is pretty stable, also the smart contract applications are powered by ether. One of the best benefits of ETH, as for me, is its high transfer rate, which is, in average, 40 times faster, than that of BTC. And even if Ethereum has some powerful lobbyists, as you claim, it won't necessarily make people lose money.
1227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO is the best way to invest? on: November 28, 2017, 04:42:11 PM
Do you think ICO is the best way to invest in?

It is a very good way to invest, but you have to be careful and take into account some things:
  -as long as ICO is unregulated you can never know whether the project is fake or not
  -even if the project isn't a scam it could lack monetarily supporting, so it won't be popular and eventually will turn into nothing
  -you can never know which country could be the next to act like China in September 2017
1228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: right time to buy alts on: November 23, 2017, 06:56:11 PM
For me yes. 3 days ago i bought about 2K clam at range 50K and very unexpected, now its value has grown to 70K  Grin. It seems profits i got big enough. Provided we are observant to see potential of altcoin. This is a great moment to buy altcoin.

It was because the value of Bitcoins got stabilized at 7395 and was stuck between 7300 - 7500 and so, alts started to rise but still stay calm as these altcoins' bull trend could be a trap currently as BTC is not going to stop yet. It's always better to get out with 10-20% profits which are still better than waiting for long and seeing the same coins going down even below your buy price.

I agree, 20% is a good profit and waiting more to have bigger profit is not recommended. Even if the coin you sold when you had 20% profit continues to rise you shouldn't be upset because you have your profit. Don't be too greedy, be thankful you haven't lose your money.
1229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Waves future price on: November 21, 2017, 07:56:14 PM
Although I think that Waves has good potential I voted NO because expecting $200 by June 2018 is too much in my opinion.

I think in a best-case scenario Waves can reach $40 by Summer 2018 but not above that price.

Waves is a good coin which during almost a year and a half of its existence is showing rising in price from initial $1.20 to $5+ now.

What do you think about the fact that cryptocurrencies will literally be the future ? In a few years, it will exploded and, be rich if we hold many ?
I making money from money! Thanks to the bitcoin because I surpassed now all of my financial problems in my life! There are now also many things in my life that was changed! Bitcoin is really a big blessing for me.

Bitcoin is helping a lot to me too, I make around 50% of my monthly income due to bitcoin. But I can't say that all the crypto currencies are good either for investment or for obtaining salary with them. I worked once in a sig campaign which paid in BTC or in their currency if you choose to be paid with it. Luckily I decided to take BTC, but many others took that currency which has dropped 20 times afterwards.
1231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: November 19, 2017, 08:12:55 PM
Anyone thought why roulette tables set top limits for bets?

Martingale is very popular but you have to manage "Drawdown Limit" that could be enough to cover all your losing steps. These losing steps can/will cost huge amounts


Yes. Experience will matter because gambling can be strategized. An experienced gambler already know  or experience the different situations. It can be his or her advantage to formulate strategies to win that certain game. Just like in life, an experienced individual in a certain skill or task is called as an expert. If you have expertise you gain more knowledge into something.


Yeah it does matter of course, but not all of the time, sometimes, even if you are a skilled gambler, you just can't beat the house and you will find yourself the one who lose. Experience will just going to help you to make some strategies(if you are playing POKER, sports betting and etc.), also to know when to stop, because sometimes if you are going to be greedy thinking that you could win if you are going to continue and get back what you have lost is pretty naïve move.

The experience will help you to make money when you are playing gambling games, and also it will help you to save money by not losing more money, it will help you to control your emotions in gambling. When we lose money means when we lose our control on the game. So experience is matter in gambling.

Experience will not help you to make money from gambling but it can help you to stop at a right time so that you can save some money without losing all your bankroll. Remember gambling results always depends on only luck not on any method or experience and this applies to both skill-based games and luck based games.

But what about famous poker players who made millions of USD playing poker either online or in land based casinos? I think they are somehow differ from other gamblers because that's a fact that they make money with poker.

I agree with you in general because most people are not like those poker stars and indeed when they play everything depends on luck.
There are reasons I think why there are players that are in the high stakes. Probably they have sponsors to help them with the money. Rich people made investments to them and hoping they could profit from it. I think that really happens especially if it's in the T.V. shows, they make more money out of it.

Is this really happening? I mean why to give your money to someone to gamble if you can do it by yourself? Everything depends on luck anyway so what's the reason for sponsoring a gambler? Maybe you are partly right about T.V. shows though. If a known poker star wears an ad of a company, the company has paid for that that's for sure but we can't know how much, so maybe they are not investing in his game but just pay for the ad.
It is just solely purpose for the ad and not to expect there even more than on that.  Letting people do play on your money is really a dumb thing and i would rather choose up on losing my own money in my own hands rather than on other people because i would do feel justice and im comfortable or doesnt have any regrets if i do lose it up compared on losing it from other people.

Thanks for your support. I thought so too. Giving your money to someone to gamble with it is a stupid thing to do imo. If I was a great poker player and someone proposed to me their money to play I'd refuse because in case of losing I'd feel worse than if it was my own money.

1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How to start investing with 1$? on: November 13, 2017, 02:22:59 PM
With $1 you should invest in risky projects so you either lose it or make 100x profit.

I recommend investing in IOTA (MIOTA) and Ripple (XRP). Although we can't exclude the possibility of those coins failing there are chances they will rise 100x. Ripple can rise because of the good support and IOTA is a very promising coin from what I hear from some crypto experts I know personally.

I have the same provlem. Tried different platforms. Logged in only once, saw the wallet's balance but it was looking like it's loading without stop. I wasn't able to send BTC, so I logged out, but now I can't even log in, looks like the page doesn't respond.

Any tricks available in gambling to won the bet?

Yes!  The "trick" is to understand the math behind gambling.  If the math is in your favor, then take the bet, but if the math is not in your favor, then find a bet where the math IS in your favor.  <--- That's the "trick."  There is no better skill to have when entertaining the thought of gambling for the purpose of sustaining an income.  MATH*MATH*MATH ---> Don't take a bet if the odds are against you unless expect to lose your money---> Find the bets where the odds are in your favor!

Not sure I understand what you mean. For example if in a dice game I can make a bet with 95% win chance do you mean that I should make that bet because I will win most likely? Yes, math is in my favor but still I can lose, right? I for one prefer making bets with very low win chance because thus you have a chance to win much more than the size of your bet.

This is what I mean ---> say the game was heads or tails: if you are getting 1.1x return for playing heads and 0.9x return for playing tails, then you should play heads instead of tails because you are going to win in the long run playing heads and you are going to lose in the long run playing tails ---> it can't get any clearer than that in my opinion.

Thanks for taking your time to explain, but isn't the  heads or tails a typical 50/50 game? How can you get a different return for heads or tails? Also, if it even was like you said, wouldn't everyone know about the difference and then the reward would be greater for winning on tails?

1240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why people are sharing tips? on: October 24, 2017, 09:59:18 AM
So, I'm sure many of you have seen tipsters on this section, in your Twitter, in chatrooms and some other places - it's the people who suggest you to place bets on certain picks in sports. And maybe some of you have asked yourself a question - why they are doing it? Why they are giving us advises how to win money absolutely for free - and by doing this they decrease their own profit, since the winning pool grows bigger as people follow their tips. Can anyone explain this?

I’m pretty sure these guys benefit from what they do, one way or another. They wouldn’t waste precious time giving out tips just to help other people. It’s either they get paid somehow to do it, (that we are unaware of) or their simply just hoping to get tips from giving out tips to other people. Well yeah, we still can’t disregard the possibility that they’re doing it for free/fun.

Well, if you and anyone think that these guys have some benefits to sharing their precious tips then i think it is not necessary for every time, mostly gamblers share their tips without any reward, they share because they are sincere player that's why they do it. May be someone give you some tips for earn money otherwise i have no any experience, i see mostly gamblers share their tips and strategies without getting anything.

Tips are not given to get something in return for them, its just expression of happiness in moment of big win. I never shared tips in casino, I prefer to share winning with my close friends, when I win something big I give some to my friends that like to gamble too. Giving tips can be seen as a superstition, we give and we expect to have more luck and win more. On gambling sites with chat I saw many times how some people share tips after big wins, and some tips are very generous and some are little, I got tips few times.
People who tip others after big wins don`t have some benefit from sharing tips, as I said its just a kind of superstitions you need to give to get, but gambling will always be gambling, sometimes you will win and sometimes you will lose, giving tips has nothing with outcome.

I like what you said, but I think they are talking about other tips which are not money but suggestions on how to play dice or poker or on which team to bet in sports. People give those tips for different reasons but sometimes they mean if you win with their strategy you pay them from your winnings or you buy other tips from them to win more.
