You probably can buy airline tickets with credit cards. There are credit cards that use Bitcoin, get one of them and you can spend Bitcoins and get tickets in return.
But I wouldn't now, with the same amount of Bitcoin you may travel the world in some years
That's a good advice btw.  Just think of it. Now you buy a ticket for $600 worth of BTC and couple of years from now you might think: "Wow, I spent $3,000 worth of BTC at the current rate on that ticket!" |

Bitcoin's price was up and I felt like I missed the train, I had been involved in Bitcoin for a while but I had to exit my positions to get some liquidity. It was very frustrating.
It all started with a thread I started on Bitcointalk, right here in the gambling section. I suggested the readers to play on the gambling site in my signature and stated that KARMA would retribute those willing to play. A GOLDEN WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY HAD OPEN. A few curious readers tested by depositing 0.1 and came back to the thread saying they had win big.
It escalated from here and dozens of bitcoin gamblers started playing through my affiliate link. And some kept winning ! And they kept coming back to the thread saying they won. When i woke up I saw I had 1.031 BTC in my affiliate account, it was too sweet. I transferred it to a safe wallet and I was back in Bitcoin, thanks to KARMA and the community.
It could become true, strangers things have happen, luck doesn't only happen to others :-)
What a beautiful story! Congratulations to the winners and to you of course! Yes, like they say "stranger things happen", but still your story is very unusual and very life-affirming at the same time. I guess those people wagered a really big amounts if you got 1.031 BTC in affiliate. You were very lucky and they were lucky with their gambling too. This rarely happens in the world of gambling, I really enjoyed reading your post. |

Why is all the investment going into more blockchains?
We need more consumer focused applications to create the ecosystem. Having so many new blockchains is like having multiple internet / phone lines at home.
In contrast, we need applications like smart tv, netflix, spotify, web browsers...
If we put all the money into infrastructure and not in apps, this will inplode like the fiberoptic investments 20 years ago, that no telco made any money with.
How do we incentivize programmers to go program apps instead of another coin?
Because the apps don't make these scammers instant millionaire. Creating an app you won't become a millionaire instantly, that's true, but if many people will find your app useful you can become one in several months. Also I don't think that all the creators of sh*tcoins became rich from that, many people lost their money failing to attract enough buyers for their coins. So in my opinion OP is absolutely right, it's better to invest your money in creation of a useful app rather than in creation of a useless coin. |

Yes it's true but it will need some researching so you will know how everything works. If you already know that then its possible to make bitcoin as passive and stable source of income.
I don't think anyone on this planet knows how everything works, not in general, but even with bitcoin. What we can do is to hold and hope that the price will rise in the future. It looks like an easy job, because there are more chances that the price will rise indeed rather than will go in another direction, but sometimes we sell for some reasons, and regret it later when we see that the price has risen. |

It looks like a normal dice game, nothing specific, so you can apply any strategy from this thread. But remember that all of this is for fun purposes only, if you will try to start making money with any of the strategies you might end up losing big time. I believe his main purpose of his post is not to ask about strategy as I'm sure he knows very well that there is no specific strategies to win on dice game. His main purpose is to advertise the site (onehash) just like what is existing on his signature. Anyway it is a nice advertising strategy I think you are right considering his signature, but I'm wondering does he/she know that it is not necessary to advertise a site in your posts when you are working in a signature campaign? It is enough that you have their signature and avatar and also make quality posts to receive the payment. I have a dice strategy which I like to use mostly. I play with 10% win chance, and I increase the size of my bet 100% every three bets if I lose them. |

Why is it do you have to wait for August 1 in buying bitcoins? Why do it now when the price is low? Having a mindset saying "buy low and sell high" thats what a trader's mind should have to attain success. And what if bitcoin will have a huge pump at August 1? And you're going to buy it higher at that time?
I'm not sure about whether we'll have a huge pump at August 1, but what is most likely will happen is that the price of bitcoin will be around $3k or over. So yes, I agree, it's better to buy now than to wait until August 1. |

I've had good moments and bad moments in my life, but the worst moments is when I spent the entire day gambling and focusing only to winning money for this or that.
I'm tired, seriously, to win big and then fall in more deep "debt" because of greediness. I can't afford to have such experiences anymore, it makes me sad the fact that instead of saving those money I preferred to spend them on a gambling site, I was like oh ok it's just x, so If i can lose it it's ok, oh it's just a faucet, it's ok if I lose it. But when If even with the faucet I reach like 0.06 or more, and then I lose them it's still a touch to the heart, that makes you say if I start back with this amount I can magically make it 0.6, yes probably, cause I did that in the past, as my far record is been from 0.001 to 1.6 btc in 3 hours with roulette, but let's not dig that.
I prefer spending the money on what are my necessities now, than see my wallet drop in amount. Every single f*** time, every time I had the chance to buy btc, or doge whatever, I ended up expecting to win big.
EVEN if I win big, I repeat that, I waste the money afterward, because I think it's a good idea to bet bigger now if my budget supports it, and there it goes down the hole.
Why I decided to leave gambling anyway? I saw how rapidly I was going down in the past few days, and like an hot potato to keep sinking my butt on the wallet. I'm tired of that. I better move my butt and find something that used to keep me busy, like programming, I love programming. But then I got stressed and I started to gamble.
I hope you all understand. All my friends I made in these years on the gambling sites, thank you everyone for your support of my strong decision.
Thanks everyone.
Most gamblers do this same mistake and that's because they don't think they were just once lucky, but they think they know now how to win with gambling every time they play. You've made the right decision, just stick to it no matter what others say. I respect your decision to quit and I hope many on this forum in similar situations would look for a better way out and learn from you and this thread I respect the OP's decision to quit too. Hopefully he will stand by his word, because many gambling addicts just say the words but never actually quit. I really wish OP had serious intentions when he was writing his post and I wish he will have strength to abstain from gambling in the future. i hope so like you because to quit from gambling is really hard and we need more power in our mind to leave gambling. once we can leave the gambling, we need to search another thing so our mind will stop thinking about gambling anymore. and if we can really quit from gambling, then we can start a new life without spend our money for playing gambling only. True. To keep your mind busy with something else is a great idea. I think even video gaming can help some people and reading books or watching interesting movies can help others. Diversifying attention is one of the best way to keep ourselves from gambling. If we occupy our selves with works and keep busy, we will skip gambling and eventually forget about it. We can also save money to repair the damage done by uncontrolled gambling and we can be able to rebuild our lost self esteem and respect once again. It may take time but eventually all bad things that had been done will be forgotten and we will start as a new being far from being addicted to gambling. This happens in the best case scenario, but unfortunately, as I personally heard from some gambling addicts, they think about gambling even when in a retaurant, or in a movie theater, or when going to sleep. An activity should be really interesting to distract an addict from gambling. |

^im sure Ripple devs know about ,price, value ,supply and demand..but i dont they they know the short term and long term potential prices of XRP either. They speculate probably a bit better than some due to the understanding of there tech.. however things like margin trading and other things have a knock on effect on XRP price... this is where devs are a bit lacking due to the hours they have..they have dev work to do,families, socialise and importantly ....sleep lol They dont have time to sit and analyse the whole crypto scene daily, weeks months and years on end. i say, traders have better knowledge of where the markets are going and devs have better knowledge on where the tech is going. not all devs are gd traders and not all traders are gd devs only by combining our knowledge...its then we get a clearer view of the potential That's why I wanted to see the reply from JoelKatz since he's an employee of Ripple. Of course we all know that no one can predict the price of any coin with 100% certainty, but still we speculate expressing our opinions, and right, by combining our knowledge we have a chace to get a clearer view of the potential of XRP. But it looks like JoelKatz doesn't want to make predictions, and that's partly understandable because many educated people regard predictions as something very unreliable. |

zcash seems on the verge of breakout over $300 that should get it into $400s over next week or so.
Waiting & watching.
That is right. If it does break $300-320, 400 is the next target. Alright it's $330 right now, let's see what happens next. When do you think $400 will be reached? If it will go further with the currnet pace, which is 10% per day, it will take only a few days until we'll see $400. |

whenever this kind of uncertainty starts the whales start dumping to short bitcoin and make a lot of profit. and then the panic selling starts. these two steps have already happened. we saw the price fall and whales made a lot of profit. and again a new bottom formed around $2300 and showed a good resistance.
if you are investing in bitcoin these are the things you should also keep in mind. in order to be able to find a good time to invest and a good time to take the profit.
hint: it is already too late for both of them. sell time was >2800 and buy time was <2300
But if you are positive that bitcoin will be over >2800 soon (me too btw), then I think the buy time isn't over yet. It is $2,537 right now so it's still possible to have 10% profit if to buy now and sell at $2,800+. |

I wasn't using the site for a while but today I remebered that I have 120k satoshis there and that it's a nice site to play overall so I decided to pay it a visit. But unfortunately I keep getting this message when trying to access the site through Tor: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at penguinsyuo2gtvz.onion. What does it mean? Is the site down temporarily or is it not functioning anymore? you have to install TOR browser to be able to access the site,the link is https://www.torproject.org/download/downloadyou can also try and add .to at the end of any .onion link and get connected by the way,the site is very cool,I played there and can confirm it is legit and fun to play at:simple,but does exactly what it says on the tin-gamble money and have fun p.s. looks like the link https://penguinsyuo2gtvz.onion.to is not working,cannot have tor installed to try if someone here could test if the site is still online,please don't hesitate and post here  I already played on this site using the TOR browser many times, but last time I played was more than two months ago. I agree that the site is very cool, but unfortunately I can't access the site two days in a row. thats sad,probably the owner has either taken it down,because he has no resources to promote it,or has some technical difficulties either way,survival of the fittest,right? Yeah, that's sad indeed. Hopefully the owner will show up here soon and we'll know what's happening to our favorite site. He was last active on the forum on June 04, 2017. |

Most of the top coins are crashing, only ETC stays at stable price. Why? And will it pump when the market recover or just stay at this price level?
I really don't understand why are you saying this. Maybe it was staying at the yesterday's price in time you were posting but right now it's down -11.30% in USD and even down -6.74% in BTC which as we all know has dropped itself. yes, at this this time it's crashing too. If you looked at the charts yesterday you would understand me Yeah, I know, I believe you were right when making that post. Everything changes very quickly. Almost all the cryptos are falling like a waterfall these days. ETC has lost additional -17.28% in the last 24h. % Change (24h) on the coinmarketcap is all red. At the same time eth lost almost 40% .. That was right yesterday, but right now the situation is much better. ETC is up +10.68% in USD. Btw I hope you are not mixing up ETH with ETC, because they are different coins. Overall the situation has changed for better for every known crypto. We can see the eye appealing green color in the "% Change (24h)" on the coinmarketcap. |

Honestly,people are really not into bitcoin lotteries man.I'll tell you why ;-
->They have really really less chances of winning.I mean the chance decreases significantly as more people start buying the lottery tickets which is your primary objective.
->They can simply gamble away the same amounts, they still stand some chance to win something.
->Also,how are you planning to make money ? It's a risky business.
Yes. I agree. But this is only for lottery. We have decided to go ahead with that. The odds might be low. But I think 0.00001 BTC is low enough to take a chance. Oh, WOW! Thanks for taking my advice into account! - Shall we do a user registration using email or just using public BTC address? IMO just using public BTC address for a user registration is enough. Also if you really want to attract many users to your lottery you might consider starting a signature campaign here on Bitcointalk. |

So Ripple, the company, encourages using XRP, right? Then if this company is having success and many famous banks want to work with it, XRP, the coin should be successful too.
IMO it would be right to say that XRP and Ripple are different things only if there was no connection at all between the two.
Think about it this way: Ripple holds over 60 billion XRP. Given the way that's being escrowed, Ripple will almost certainly be the largest holder of XRP for the foreseeable future. For every penny the price of XRP goes up, the notional value of Ripple's XRP goes up by six hundred million dollars. Ripple can only materialize that value for its shareholders if that value and liquidity are preserved over the next several years. Sure, Ripple makes money by selling software to banks. But how many banks do you think Ripple would have to close to make six hundred million dollars in license/support fees? That would equal the value of a sustained one cent increase in the price of XRP. Thank you very much for your explanation! As an employee of Ripple what can you say on the predicitions about the XRP price this year? Some say it can be $1 or $2, while others say that holders should sell now before it's too late, at $0.26. What do you think? Hold! There is a reason why they hold 60 billion XRP. They still will hold it until they know its going to make them rich. A lot of those users who dumped because they listen to all those who said its centralized has weak hands. Its going to be big loss for you if you sell now. I agree with you, I personally think that Ripple can reach $2 this year, but I wanted to see a reply from an employee of Ripple. I think they know much more than we do in this field. I think if he'll say $2 this year is unrealistic then it's unrealistic indeed. |

Ah, if only we could foresee what s going to happen in two months, we d all be millionaires. All this is just speculation.
I think we ll have flawless implementation of SegWit2x and once this happens, the price will break all records. In the period before this event, speculators will try to dump the price as much as possible to fill their bags. However, this is just my personal speculation.
This is exactly what is happening now in my opinion. The price of BTC dropped from $2,700+ to $2,300+ in less than 3 days. So, OP, if you want to buy some BTC the time is now. Those who want to buy a lot of BTC cheap, the speculators mentioned by crazyivan, have done a favor for you. |

Once again I want to say "Thank you, Japan!"
Hopefully we'll see more news like this in the near future because what bitcoin needs right now is more positive publicity. If bitcoin adoption will continue growing the demand will rise and thus the price.

That's really shocking to hear such kind of experience. Bitcoin transactions are not so long to loose money on the price difference and bitcoin doesn't jump from 100$ to 2500$.
I thought a business which based on bitcoin is developing very profitable from a day to day. I remember a story when some guys were selling pizza per 20 BTC each! I doubt that their business ended the same like yours.
That depends on what they were doing with their BTC. If they were exchanging it for a fiat currency right away, they probably were losing money too. But if they were holding at least until bitcoin was $50 of course they were in profit. |
