I'm going with eBTC , could be a faster version of bitcoin on ethereum network, still very cheap, pretty high risk though.

Well, I don't think that eBTC is a good choice. Yes it's cheap, only $0.14, but it's falling right now big time. -37.20% in the last 24 hours. This coin is new and it was around $0.80 once, in October 6, but it's only falling since then. Like you said, to invest in this coin is a pretty high risk. Hope you haven't invested a lot in EBTC.
Why do people even "invest" in clones with no new tech?

Not every product has new tech, and most items and cryptos that people buy copy off something else.  eBTC is great because its a fast alternative currency to Bitcoin.  Some merchants have already started accepting it.  The community is the driving force that is what makes something valuable.  And eBTC was very fairly distributed.

Faster transactions is not enough for a coin to be able to rise in the future. For example I used Torcoin some time ago which was super fast and transactions were very cheap compared to Bitcoin's, but nevertheless the coin went from $1.20 to $0.06 in several months.

MSP - mothership
Nebl - Neblio
XRB - Raiblocks
IFT - Investfeed
EQT - Equitrader
BCO - Bridgecoin
Gup - Matchpool


Listen to this man...

But why? Can you please explain?

Mothership (MSP) is falling from the beginning of September. Neblio (NEBL) is rising but you can trade it only on Cryptopia so it looks like other markets don't accept this coin and maybe they have their reasons. RaiBlocks (XRB) is fluctuating big time since mid summer and also not accepted by big trading platforms. ... What all those coins have in common and why do you think they will rise 100x-1000x  in the future?

Hello, Nexchange.co.uk!

As I see questions from the participants arose and I think maybe that is because it isn't clear what amount will be paid to those who in this new campaign from Sept. 15, like me for example.

Could you please clarify it?

It looks like the site is down for several hours. Is it only me or others too can't access the site?

Maybe the freerolls attracted so many people that the server went down, idk.

People should check out Dimecoin it's probably the cheapest coin in the world right now, x1000 would make it 700 sats/coin

Dimecoin went up 217.27% in the last 24 hours so you were right about that the coin will rise. However, DIME is represented on only five markets, which are not the major ones, and the total trading volume was only 2.77 BTC in the last 24 hours so it was impossible to get a big profit from trading DIME. Also I don't think Dimecoin will ever go 1000x or even 100x from today's price because it doesn't look like the coin has enough support.

I got some good insider info that they're working on a few things, it'll go up bigtime this year

Well, I don't know, but Dimecoin is up additional 136.35% today so maybe you are right. Maybe you also know what makes this coin special, I mean why to choose it over other altcoins?

That's the thing, they don't have anything yet, just a coin, no niche. That's why prices are so low, and why volume is so low. Once their plans start rolling we'll see x10 increases in value within days

I don't know if that will happen. What I can see now is that it's falling from when you made your post. But who knows, maybe you are right, we'll see in the nearest future. What makes you think they will start doing something in the days to come?

They haven't released anything since then so it's normal Dime is also suffering from the current altcoin depression. I'm confident they're doing something because I spoke to the devs directly. I can't tell you what to do, but I'm holding, and i'm staying patient because what they're trying to create in collaboration with other entities requires a lot of time.

The falling continues but hopefully you are right and the devs will do something in the nearest future which will help to rise the price of Dime. Since you are holding it I sincerely wish you good luck.

Meanwhile it looks like we have another rising coin, Stellar Lumens (XLM). 87.46% 24h rise plus $251,188,000 trading volume are good signs.

1250  Economy / Economics / Re: If you have a lot of bitcoin, should you spend it or save it? on: October 10, 2017, 05:55:18 PM
both is important.
spend for our stuff that make us more convidence in world is good, but not spend all your coin, just for needs
saving is important too, for our future. if i have, i will invest in bank for long time
Different people have different thought and ideas about the future and especially about bitcoin. Some people think that keeping is much better because the price is growing higher and some think like you.
You are also right that in the future there is no guarantee for bitcoin to be rise higher therefore selling some of the bitcoin is a right decision and to hold some in your wallet for earning extra money.

I agree but the question is what part of our BTC to sell because most likely bitcoin will rise in the future. That's why I think the less you sell the better. Sell only the amount you need to exchange for your living expanses and hold the rest because even though there is no guarantee the history teaches us that bitcoin will rather rise than fall.
1251  Economy / Economics / Re: If you have a lot of bitcoin, should you spend it or save it? on: October 09, 2017, 02:54:15 PM
If I have a lot of bitcoin, then I will make the bitcoin as a capital for trading, and the profit I get from trading I spend to buy the things I want, so my bitcoin is not reduced and I can still have fun with the profit gained from the bitcoin

Theoretically you are right, but in practice how can you be so sure you will make money with trading? Trading is a risky business and you may also lose a lot if you don't know how to do it properly or, even if you know, just because of bad luck.

I'd recommend to OP to save as much as you can afford and to spend only what you really need to spend.

At least trading does not always rely on luck as in gambling, if indeed he is able to adapt to market analysis then he will be able to balance the balance and cash flow of the existing fluctuations. If it's just storing bitcoin, it will not be more profitable unless you keep actively moving in the campaign or anything else. If we are still able to struggle, it is appropriate to keep capital moving and gain a double advantage, risk is something that must be understood, not to be avoided.

To an extent I can understand taking risks when there's no way to make money otherwise. But why risk when having bitcoin? It has been proven that one can make good profits from just holding their BTC, especially when you have a lot of it, like OP said in the topic question. IMO it's better to avoid risk when it's possible, and when someone has a lot of BTC he's definitely not in a situation when risk is necessary.
1252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: October 09, 2017, 02:25:24 PM
You can't control your greed. No one can. If they tell you they can they are simply lying. Gambling is supposed to be an entertaining activity and not a source of income. Consider any positive balance 'lost' unless you withdraw it first.

In short - play for fun and don't chase goals. Any profit at the end of the day/week/month is just a bonus. Good luck.
I totally disagree with you. Greed can be controlled since it is among the seven deadly sins. You can control it the same you control your emotions and sexual desires. If you are just aware that you are greedy and realize it is a weakness that is going to destroy you one day, you can put limits to it and control it the way you want it to be. It is not quite easy, but you can do it in the end. You just need commitment, determination, willpower, and time.

I think you are right regarding the ability to control greed. We all greedy in a way and whether we can control it or not is what makes us different. For people with pathological greed it is better to never start gambling at all, but for others it's just a game where they can practice money management, greed control, anger control and other things. It's impossible to say exactly how to control greed because every person has its own way, but what is for sure is that greed should be under control.
Maybe some point in our lives we have been greedy whether it is concerned about money or just some type of valuable thing. We always want what's best for us for ourselves and that is human nature in my opinion. Controlling that may be hard but i think it is possible especially if you have the right mindset.

Yes, we all want what's best for us but that's not greediness. Greediness starts when we want more and more or when we desperately want something what we can't get whatever we do. I think it's a normal feeling when you want to win in gambling, but when you want to win so desperately that you risk all you have for that, it's not okay.

From what I know Primedice is a great dice site with the strong community which can be found here https://forum.primedice.com/ and with responsive support. I've never heard anyone complaining about withdrawals issues or that the site is rigged apart from obvious trolls or addicted gamblers who were just angry because they lost a lot. The reputation of Stunna, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=81292 ,  who represents PD on this forum speaks for itself.
1256  Economy / Economics / Re: Maybe governments can stop bitcoin after all on: October 02, 2017, 02:24:14 PM
What we can see today is increasingly invasive approach of the governments worldwide into the daily lives of it's citizens. I'm not too optimistic about the approach of the most of the governments. Big money has a lot of influence on that level and if it starts to see the bitcoin as a serious threat, we will see much more official involvement against the bitcoin. If it can influence it and to what extent is however a completely different topic.

Governments differ from country to country and in some cases their involvement is necessary. This doesn't include bitcoin which, of course, shouldn't be banned in a free society. And it won't be banned, I'm sure, in most of the civilized countries. They can start regulating it, yes, but they can't ban it.
1257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: September 29, 2017, 11:13:41 AM
Maths will definitively help you to prove that there are no profitable method for the player in simple gambling games based on luck/randomness (dice, roulette...)

Haha, exactly. Use math as it was intended to be used. To prove theories and give you answers. The answer in this case is that no matter how long you play you'll always play at a disadvantage Smiley.

I would add "the more you play" the higher the probability of losing. Unfortunately for them some gamblers think it works the other way around and that's why, when they are losing, they bet more and more "to increase" the chance of winning. Thus normally they only lose more.

Math can help you to understand only one thing: you can win in gambling if you are lucky, but whatever you do, you can't increase the chance of winning.

Yeah. As a former gambling addict I can attest to this way of thinking too. I could lose several thousand $ in one night and think to myself "I'm due a win now, I've lost so much that the win HAS to come now on the next few bets". It is a never ending cycle of problems that can quickly spiral out of control. Luckily I've moved past that now and can control myself with limits set in place Smiley.

Indeed setting the limits is a crucial thing if you don't want gambling to destroy your life. I'm glad for you that you can control yourself and thus enjoy gambling without major losses. And that's where math can also be applied. I think we can afford losing up to 5% of what we make per month to gambling. Which means we can lose not more than 0.16% of our monthly wage per day.
1258  Economy / Economics / Re: Maybe governments can stop bitcoin after all on: September 28, 2017, 02:10:06 PM
Governments prohibit a lot since hundrets of years and never ever were they able to stop anything of it!

Their action can only lead to a decrease of its use and maybe of the revenue, but nothing more.

yes i agree on that bitcoin is not really a probblem in a community in fact it is verry helpful to tbose people who really suffer from poverty and it is basicaly now an another source of income and it really work.so then why government stop bitcoin after all if the case is that it is verry helpful?
Because the system of the government isn't to help people but to draw the money out of them and transfer it to few rich man.

It doesn't work this way any more. Even if they want to act like you said, they can't because of the fear of revolution. They are bound to provide normal life for their citizens otherwise they will face resignation. Governments used to have a lot of power in the far past, but not now and that's why bitcoin is out of their control whether they want it or not.

1260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO Scam Question on: September 27, 2017, 04:32:33 PM
Is there a way that we can determine on how to know if an ICO offer is a scam or not?

No, ICO, by analogy with typical crowdfunding can only be based on trust. At the outside you can try to predict the probability of project's success, but even if it's successful it doesn't mean that founders aren't scammers. As for me, ICO seems like a scam, they attracted way too much money in a short period of time, at the same time for some really cool and promising projects, which have more evidences it isn't always that easy to find investors.
