1381  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is Signature Campaign effective for your business ? on: May 23, 2017, 11:45:56 AM
-snip-
So, for the marketer/advertiser who paying other members to put your ads on their signature space.

Im wondering, do the signature campaign effective ?
Advertising through Signature campaigns does give a project a lot of exposure around the community with proof of been effective coming from
successful ICOs as a result of using these services which justifies paying for them.

Quote
Like the senior member signature gave you better chance of conversion and everything ?

Using higher ranked signature space simply allows selling out more information to the potential investors what project is all about because its more colorful and noticeable .

If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, would you:

  • reveal yourself?
Not a single chance! Its better like this to promote decentralization than have the central role of control.

  • if so, how would you do this?
Get a new pseudonymous new and continue contributing to the community without revealing who i was

  • what would you think of Bitcoin today?
Bitcoin is slowly being acceptable by people around the world its a slow process despite all the hurdles but we getting there...

Quote
  • what would you think of altcoins today?
Feel proud of starting up the chain reaction of cryptocurrencies as the alts also support bitcoin indirectly.

Hi guys!
Gambling is nearly as old as the humanity itself. What was your way to start gambling?
How did it go? How long have you been gambling? Have you ever stopped for a while? Do you see any future in gambling?
Let others know and share your stories! Wink
I actually started gambling after seeing a couple of betting company advertisements during live TV soccer matches(2-3 years ago), I was a noob by then and got interested why they would run these ads and did a quick yahoo search about them  from there i was taken to the actual gambling site where i found nice ongoing deposit offers that tempted me to play and went ahead deposited some money and that is where it all started
1384  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you convince people into you using Bitcoin? on: May 23, 2017, 04:02:35 AM
For me the only person I can get to convince people to use Bitcoin is people who are actually interested in using it.
Interest is the main drive to convince them that bitcoin truly does exist and there others(us) and big community already using it

Quote
Because in my own experience no matter how hard I try to convince a person that lacks interest with Bitcoin, I will end up wasting my time to that person.
Its very difficult to convince most people out there especially when they just hear the "coin" word the think its completely worthless and we completely wasting there precious time  

Quote
Mostly people who are interested of earning money is easily convinced to use Bitcoin because I can say that it is a way to earn money online which is true.
Those are the best people to share bitcoin information with and they will put their own resources in researching more about bitcoin to get an understanding of what they are really all about
1385  Other / Off-topic / Re: Other than Bitcoin, How to earn money in online on: May 22, 2017, 07:47:25 PM
You have come a long way to give up now....you can try focusing your energy into crypto bounty hunting which has descent rewards at the end of it
you could also use you social media platforms to make part time money

i think blog/website is promising to earn money online. even need long time to build a good blog you can use CPC, CPA, CPI, CPM only with your website. to get more information google can help or join forum for blogger
 
Blogs are also a great way to earn extra cash but you will need good content on it to generate traffic and have people always coming back for your content
1386  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if I buy 3BTC now and forget about them for 10 years??? on: May 22, 2017, 06:58:21 PM
I am wondering, what would happened if I can get some cash to buy 3 BTC that means at the prices of this moment 1 BTC = 2,252 USD so would be 3BTC= 6,756 USD and forget that I Have them for 10 Years???
First you should understand bitcoin is not a free ticket to riches your might make 5 times your money or find the same value today after that 10yrs period but as long as demand will be there am certain you be a happy man when you check you wallet.

Quote
Will I be rich??
if you consider $30k rich yep you will be a rich man,good luck

Quote
Will I have lost all the money??
As i said already this is not a golden ticket to becoming rich hence the risk factor tied to it, there is a possibility of making a loss but chances are low for that to happen

Quote
Will I have just make a few extra dollars??

Would you do it??
What i can guarantee is a profit will be there, just don't know how much it will be
1387  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What are the highest valued crypto related companies out there? on: May 22, 2017, 04:28:30 PM

 I don't mean companies that accept bitcoin.

 I mean companies that are related to bitcoin.
If miners do count i honestly think these guys make a ton load of bitcoins per day

and because their rigs are constantly running especially those with alot of harsh power

Quote
Like blockchain.info , kraken, coinbase, bitpay, poloniex, primedice   and so on.

 Companies that are ONLY bitcoin related. Not just bitcoin accepting companies.
i would have suggested a gambling site but with the current high priced bitcoin

am certain these are not rainy days for casinos and sportsbooks imo i think exchange sites have the potential to fill this spot.
1388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BREAKING NEWS: SegWit by Sept - Buy BTC Now!!! on: May 22, 2017, 01:28:56 PM
Did not see this coming... considering we were getting the least support for SEgwit activation but looks like things went in favour of segwit over BU to save the great bitcoin of which btcs survival really depended on this implementation.
Good to finally have miners agree on something! Hope this soft fork doesn't disappoint either ,from now on next stop the moon.
1389  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you have any intentions of selling your BItcoin? on: May 22, 2017, 11:54:36 AM
Now that the price is increasing, would you sell your Bitcoins any-time from now for hard cash?
It should not be mandatory to sell just because the price is high..sell when you in need of fiat simple...

you do not want missing out on a big surge in the future because of an early sale

Did that once - regretted it ever since - unlikely to happen again
When you decide to sell its just right not to look back at your loss. Unfortunately you had to learn the hard way
1390  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is 1000 btc Possible on: May 22, 2017, 10:54:44 AM
Is it surely possible to earn that amount  from trading but you should be ready with huge capital to invest as if you have 100 btc to invest and if price goes even 10x then you will be making 1000 btc in a single btc but  that is very rare to happen as no one will invest that huge amount.
You are new here mate? What do you think the whales are doing, they can invest like 1000 BTC to move the price, there is
a reason why we call them whales.
Do you think Investing 100 BTC is a small matter, If we have 100 BTC then why should we think to double it in trading we can create our own casino site and make money. The site will give us double returns in few months no need to wait for a long time to make our investment double. I don't have any dream like this because I know it is not possible.

Very remote that a regular person can accumulate that much btc. And I agree, 100btc is already enough for a decent capital for a big business. I wouldn't want to risk that much with trading. we only have such number of btcs available and having 1k make you the owner of roughly 1/1000 of all btcs in the world and filthy rich at that


I know some personality that has almost 2000 plus bitcoin. he gain it as a trader on altcoins. this is possible if you just educate yourselfves in trading and have some knowledge on the coin you will be trading too. you must be seek every details so that you will have a less risk on having lose.
As quoted through trading it's possible to get 1000 btc. For this one needs to be highly skilled as well need to consider trading as a full time day job. If one can do this, then he can make good profit through the trading and the other way is gambling which needs skills to predict the result of games along with winning luck.
Not only skill will be needed to get to 1000 BTC, you will need a lot of discipline and all bad habits like gambling for fun should not be tolerated...
You shall need to be prepared to make some big risks if you want to archive that much of bitcoins and avoid trading experiments to avoid loss instead of getting a profit

-Technology has made it easy for criminals to stalk you and their is just less privacy with today's advanced tech including our smart televisions, you never know who is spying on you

-People no longer socialize with others in the real world like they use to back in the days
-New technology comes at a cost which affects our environments with pollution
1392  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: TaaS: Token As Service Bounty Thread - Support Us and Earn Reward on: May 21, 2017, 10:36:36 PM

How fast are TaaS transaction? Are the as bad as Bitcoin Roll Eyes
1393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: May 21, 2017, 09:24:56 PM
As you know that you need to stop and leave the game? How can you feel this moment. I almost always lose their money because they can't learn when to leave the game. I'm not sorry to lose. I have a lot of money not to lose, but I can't keep the winnings if I'm lucky.
If you can leave the game when you are ahead then that is the best moment, another good moment is when you are done having your fun, that way you can save some money and use it for the next time you want to gamble, and finally another moment is to stop when you are no longer getting any fun and instead you are getting frustrated.
One thing is for sure no one can have a good game playing while they are frustrated because we tend to become careless

 i strongly believe we are better at leaving the game when we have a profit or left with some change to avoid losing everything in one session

Keep in mind that if everybody was a millionaire then nobody would be rich. If you're one of the lucky few to have been blessed by bitcoin, don't end up like this guy:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/09/17/nevada-man-dies-with-200-in-bank-7m-in-gold-hidden-inside-home.html

Bitcoin is gods money, it's meant to be shared and appreciated.
oh boy really sad way to kick the bucket nobody could even checkup on him MHSRIP, at least gold has a physical form and can easily be found by those left behind unlike the precious bitcoin which goes down with you if bitcoin secrets are not shared.

1395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin transaction fees fair? on: May 21, 2017, 07:42:06 AM
Everyone wanted higher bitcoin price and we achieved this but another problem become transaction fees. When bitcoin's price was low, we had to pay also low fee and now when it rised, we have to pay high fee in bitcoins and plus that high fee is more higher with current price. Is this fair? The higher the price, the more money miners have with bitcoin exchange.
We got to comfortable with the low fees and now that bitcoin price is high its just fair to adjust them to pay our miners who afaik are the spine code
of the bitcoin network and we must not forget that too many transactions are going on every minute

Quote
To my mind when price becomes high, we have to pay low fee and when it becomes low, than fee has to be high. To my mind it had to be done like this from the begining.
Initially that is whats suppose to be happening but we the users are setting the high fees to get our transfers first priority leaving transactions with low fees clogged in the mempool
1396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If BTC really survives over the next days... on: May 20, 2017, 06:02:11 PM
One of reasons why bitcoin will keep surviving what ever is thrown at it is because all altcoin holders dump what they have in preference of bitcoin
killing the alt slowly and breathing new life into bitcoin

Another solution would be to start dropping the spam transactions.

Please enlighten us with some evidence that it's spam transactions what's filling up the mempool.

Eplain: Almost all of the lagging transactions from the last two weeks are backed with >120 Sat/B fee. Who's going to afford this expensive Spam?



For spam, you could try the forum search function to find the 10+ threads discussing, but this should get you started:

https://blockchain.info/address/3QQB6AWxaga6wTs6Xwq8FYppgrGinGu15f

The person holding lots of coin can afford the fees to spam, because the price keeps going up. BTW that's another plausible explanation of the spam, exchanges and whales using up blockspace to buy coins from themselves repeatedly, driving prices up.



in a way this could actually work maybe exchangers need to dish out some warning on this Roll Eyes or that is also a way for them to generate revenue but if it drives prices up maybe we need to be on the look out for a dump....

and do you mean to say this is an artificial price We currently seeing
1397  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price 1800$ on: May 20, 2017, 04:45:40 PM
Right now even a small price drop or a fluctuation causing a drop of price around $200 will easily create a panicking situation among the entire user network.
Maybe,maybe not. Bitcoin is on high demand at the moment i dont think a dip of $200 would even be noticeable because it would quickly recover and continue to rally

Quote
This helps the whales to profit out of it as everyone will be holding good volume of investment. Now at present the price is near $1996 and soon we'll reach $2500 based on the growth happening and the sustainability of growth.
Of course the whales will always be on the receiving side of cheap coins when ever the weak hands dump their bag of coins but right now bitcoin prices seem to be slowing down maybe holding would be the best option as we get to $2000+
1398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you positive or negativeO? on: May 19, 2017, 07:15:49 PM

1399  Economy / Economics / Re: Selling Bitcoin = Opportunity loss?! on: May 19, 2017, 08:20:01 AM
Many posts discuss the possibility of exchange earnings with selling Bitcoin (and buy later).
Just because the is a lot of untapped potential in the exchange business thus why most people talk about it which hasn't even hit optimal and afaik it has less risk since you know exactly wat you bargaining for, but timing is everything to sale when you expect a dip

Quote
Other posts discuss the Bitcoin exchange rate, it seems that many agree there is a strong upward tendency and the volatility is hard to predict. It seems dat selling Bitcoin results in a serious probability of an opportunity loss. Selling Bitcoin can only be motivated by an (partial) exit. Do you agree?
Yes i agree, volatility is what makes bitcoin fun to use because its unpredictable and it also influences the seller to hold or sale to have a gain or loss
1400  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin ever drop to $1200-$1500 on: May 18, 2017, 10:49:03 PM
I was planning to sell my coins for $2000,- /btc and then hoping that it would drop to around $1500,-.
if you have been reading crypto news you will know by now that the is a high demand for bitcoin every day and selling now will expose you to high priced bitcoins when you need to buy some again.

Quote
Is this realistic or is bitcoin not going to drop soon? If it's not going to drop, should I buy more? I dont really need my money now & can afford to buy more.
The prices of bitcoin looks to have stabilized and if it were to drop maybe 1670 should be the average dip

Quote
btw. Im a beginner Smiley

Thank you!
Your trading instinct will grow on you stick around
