I'm just wondering if I am inside the campaign now  Cheesy
So I know if I'm wearing the signature for something or nothing xD

sell drugs
Nice suggestion man, you are inviting people to spend their lives in jail for the rest of their life. Selling drugs will only provide you a temporary happiness as you can see an abrupt increase of your bitcoin but once you are caught, the game is over and your happiness is done.

I made 48% profit in betting, I am now crying, in joy tears Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
Good for you dude, I hope you happiness will last and I hope you will not experience the worst scenario in gambling where you will be selling your properties because of the addiction and desperation in gambling that they can take back their loses. Winning is good but the failure is very hard to accept.
1284  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: August 28, 2016, 02:28:04 AM
Today I bought some chips with 2 quarters, quickly getting out of the store to catch the bus. I love Bitcoin, but it's not going to replace being able to quickly hand in two quarters and then back out. Small purchases like those. I mean if I payed with Bitcoin, or even a debit card, which isn't accepted at the grocery store would have been much more inconvenient.
Why exactly not? With SegWit, Lightning Network and possible even more awesome upgrades to bitcoin protocol, transaction will be almost instantaneous.
And in that situation, you described if you would have bitcoin wallet in your smartphone installed you could scan QR code any cashier can generate and pay in matter of seconds.
We already have technology for that - all we need is will of people to know about this and change current system - which can be much harder.
People will only be interested to listen bitcoin when they have assurance which is very hard for bitcoin to provide. The assurance like the banks offer that when you loss your money due to banks failure you will be refunded by insurance. But let us see in the future as I am pretty sure more innovation will be made to have the confidence of the people to adopt.
According to statistics, more than half the population of the globe is the elderly and children. What do you think, what money they will enjoy if they offer a choice between Bitcoin and paper money? I think the answer is obvious.
well you are kinda right about it in my opinion, i think that in the future the bitcoin might actually replace it to be honest and that would be great
Paper money will still dominate in the future, it is the simple currency that does not need an internet connection to transact and we know in the internet you are not safe if you are not careful so people who does not really know how to secure there information would certainly chose paper money.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 28, 2016, 02:19:23 AM
You can earn more than yo can imagine but the way to that is very hard. Many have tried to earn big money in gambling but most of them failed to succeed. It is easy if you think but when you do it, you will realize your chances is not good to achieve it.
you are right, bitcoin gambling might be really profitable if you are lucky enough to win a lot of money with it, though such luck usually not happen
That would only mean that gambling is only for lucky people who wants to win, the big question is can we keep our luck to be with us all the time because what I know gamblers does not have a satisfaction of his winnings and he tend to gamble regularly to earn more money. In that sense, we still lose in the long run.
1286  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: August 28, 2016, 02:13:43 AM
That is long years but i think you need 200 bitcoin to do that and wait the bitcoin price up. Maybe in that years you have a lot of bitcoin and you can buy what you want for your retirement. All is nothing can say because we are not sure if bitcoin up or dump. If bitcoin up your are very lucky but if bitcoin dump better luck next time.
if you know that we can not predict the price of bitcoin in the future. is it very high or low prices. therefore you should keep more bitcoin than usual. may be more than 200 BTC. The question is is it you can reach it?
200 bitcoins would definitely not help if the price was at least the same size as it is now, for retirement you would need like a thousand
Thousands of bitcoin you dont need that amount to become rich is too high amount i think even 50 to 100 amount of btc is good amount of bitcoin to be rich and retire after 20 years..  even the price is the same as present price..
The figures varies on individuals needs, we do not have the same interest and satisfaction so for us we could be rich for owning at least 100 BTC but for the others it was just an immaterial amount that they are willing to spend for entertainment alone.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 28, 2016, 02:08:19 AM
hi

i am getting addicted to gambling.And i am loosing a lot of money.I am loosing what i can't afford to lose.its sad that when you start loosing its just busted me again and again.at last i gamble for fun but now when i am getting addicted i am loosing too much.

Any suggestions are welcome  Smiley

Find a new hobby some sports, a social activities, a job or priotizing studies or your career. Or putting your attention in your family or friends. Just have yourself available for new things not only on gambling. God bless may you get your goal in the future just keep trying to avoid gambling. It may be hard but it will be worth it.
If you are single yet, maybe you should marry someone so there will be someone who can help you with your addiction in gambling because once you love a person you will follow her advise and that would completely take you away from your gambling addiction which you have been suffering for a long time already.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: August 28, 2016, 01:58:33 AM
My 2017 MVP is Blake Griffin!

No doubt he has the best chance especially if he wants it. Blake cruises on 20/10 and can give u 24/12/5 if he really wants. I think with cp3 and Jordan and bg handling his business clips can be 2nd seed (over Spurs maybe) and win 58 games.
Sorry man but its impossible for Griffin to get the 2017 MVP. Yes, he is good, we are there but still its not enough to get ahead on James, Curry, Durant, Kawhi.
Griffin will become MVP if they will succeed this season, the problem with the clippers is they are good in the regular season and you can really tell the way they ca dominate their opponents and even beating good teams but in the playoffs their aggressiveness fades and they do know pay with sense of urgency.


I'll go for Paul George for the 2017 NBA MVP. With the improvement in their line up they can contend in the finals. Blake Griffin is just a showtime player for me. Even in the mythical five will be hard for Griffin.

While it's true that PG did get better, I don't think he'll ever go play on a superstar level again. Mental and emotional trauma scars you way longer than the physical.
That's true, what I saw how Paul George played, he was not consistent last season, one day he scores like 30 to 40 points but on the next day he can even barely reach 20 points in a certain game. It takes time to heal the wound, and it was a serious injury that PG had suffered so mentally and emotionally it was affected and you cannot take that forever.
1289  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: August 28, 2016, 01:50:16 AM
you can get rich its only your bussiner or investment
you can own company bussnis
in investment you can growth your money with trading, trading valas, bitcoin,altcoin , comodity or saham
Investing in stock and trading , would be profitable if has a good preparation and planning before investing on stock and trading.
Like choose the right stock or developed coins , but i will stick with trading than stock . Because i don't have an idea with stock , but i can learned something about trading , also trading has good community to join.
Trading is easy to understand because it is just like gambling where you bet on your prediction but it does not only need your luck to win because in order for you to constantly make money you need to be updated with all the information of a certain assets you are trading.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing investment on Gambling sites on: August 28, 2016, 01:45:49 AM
since i had heared by many friends that investing money at gambling site instead of gamble is more profitable if admin of gambling site is honest & pay honestly.

Yeah, that is certainly true. That all the investments made in gambling is far more profitable than having to do a gambling, as the investment does not require something or need a strategy. We only provide funds to developers and afterwards they will return our money with bonuses given (profit). But we can't get an advantage in a long period of time, so we cannot expect more than a gambling investment


Maybe yes and maybe no. It depends on the situation because its a gambling you cant assure that everyday is a lucky day, you may lose if a gambler gets a win in streak or the site where you interested get hacked you may lose money in one shot too or could be also if the site you invested runs your money. So be be very careful.

If you worried that site owners might scam you then you must choose trusted sites to invest and you can find few good sites to consider in this forum. All investments come with some risks and without taking risks we can't grow our money so to reduce losses from casino investments you should diversify your money into few good casinos than in the long run you will make some good profit. 


I have a feeling that you will skip on this, but can you please elaborate those few sites you are speaking? So we can have an idea about their existence.
I can give you some of the good example of the gambling sites that accepts investors, they are betking, safedice, and moneypot. That is the big three for me so if you are willing you could diversify your investment in three sites to minimize the risks. Anyway, there is no guarantee that they will last forever but as of today they are trust worthy.
1291  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I've got $20k to invest. Please recommend! on: August 28, 2016, 01:18:13 AM
This amount allow you to buy around 40 Bitcoins, that's huge for the long time, i suggest you just buy bitcoins with your fiat money and hold it into the wallet for the price increasing
Its a lazy way to earn a profit it is better to start a business online blogging or something worth site that you can advertise and earn for your visitors..
Its a large amount you can multiple business or even triple business for advertisement.. and promote your site in other forum or do seo to increase your organic traffic..

Holding Bitcoin isn't lazy, but it is probably the safest form of investing compared to trading or sticking your money into certain sites for lame rewards.
Definitely, you are right dude, how can it be a lazy thing when it is the best way to make more money. Our method should not be complicated so we can still do a lot of thing aside from bitcoin investing, I have a lot of jobs here so I prefer to hold my bitcoin as it does not need enough effort to manage my investment.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: August 28, 2016, 01:09:25 AM
From my point of view, gamble is not recommended, because it may cause you losses within hours, minutes... Investing in altcoins is more profitable, you just need to research efficiently before investing.

I think he's talking about investing in casinos, which is the same thing as gambling: you're gambling your money and you never know if you will ever see it again.

But investing on casino houses is not same as gambling, but it is high-risk investment product. If you don't monitor your investments, then you may lose a lot of money over the time, but you will not lose all your money instantly as it happens in gambling. In the long run casino bankroll investments usually give good profits, and I prefer investing on a casino is better than gambling.
Investing in a casino is a profitable kind of investment, I do not see it as a high risk investment. My understanding of a high risk investment are those type of investment that can give you a good return in a short span of time but investing in gambling sites does not give you that, the profit there is slowly but constant.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 27, 2016, 04:54:06 AM
Try to invest in casino bankroll is one method. Become an affiliate and spread your referral link throughout the internet and hope to get enough signups who will be high rollers. Otherwise since you can beat the House why not join the House?? Build your own casino.
Yes nice idea but it will need much time and capital for build our casino. It is bad for people who has low capital and it will need much time for return of investment.
yeah it would require a lot of efforts and time to be honest and even with it i dont think that you would be guaranteed to win a lot
Capital is the most important thing to build your own casino, when you have a lot of money everything is possible and you can buy people's time to do the job, most businessman especially those who are already rich, they just invest and let their money work for them.
1294  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your best investment strategy? on: August 27, 2016, 04:26:39 AM
My best investment strategy is same as many others have prolly already mentioned. I simply buy and hodl bitcoin, nothing else. It's been working for me since 2011. The great thing is I don't have to even think or worry about anything. Just buy the dips, hodl.
yeahb I think the key is that you can be patient after you buy bitcoin. because the key advantages of investing in bitcoin is to be patient. First you have to buy at prices that have the potential to rise. This depends on your skills and knowledge. then after that you can wait until the price rises. lucky if it lasts quickly
Short term and long term investment needs patient, you need to have that in your mind because even though you have a lot of resources to invest but you do not have the attitude that will lead you to success, you will still lose in the long run. Investing is profitable but not for everyone.
1295  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I've got $20k to invest. Please recommend! on: August 27, 2016, 03:58:54 AM
Hey folks,

I've finally got around $20k to invest in long-term. No, unfortunately I cannot put this on a bank to get like 10-15% per year, I'd need something way more good.
What would you recommend? Mining? Other crypto?

Investors, please get me some cool ideas.

Thanks in advance,
Marcell


Just read last posts ^^^^^.. Don't even try to trust to any of them! Every investition is your own decision! Don't ask about that on internet forums, because you will never get correct answer.. Here everyone can say what he want! Trolls will be trolling! Just my 2 satoshi Wink

I have saw a lot of suggestion at there, from which OP can get much benefit, some people really need suggestions for starting some investment, so for them the better is that they ask from some expert, and this a forum is full of some expert business persons so he will be directed to a better place.
With that amount of money involve, you need to carefully evaluate the recommendation you will read in this forum because that is your money in the first place and you bear the losses in case you will not succeed in your investment. The only investment I can recommend on my part is just hold your bitcoins.
1296  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you actively spend your bitcoins? on: August 27, 2016, 03:52:39 AM
Yes we used actively  bitcoin to pay our electricity  bill because it only can be used directly on the bitcoin our country . But if we want to buy can cash out of the bank, remittances , and much more . And this is what we use to buy we want using cash from bitcoin. So butcoin is really good to us because bitcoin can instant cash in a instant.
I guess we are in the same country because i also use my bitcoin to pay my monthly bills and loading my mobile phone. its a good thing local wallet has this feature and its for our convenience.

We are spending it for some online stuffs the fact is spending bitcoin is limited at a moment as there are not many place where we can widely used and that is a major problem.

Yeah this is a sad fact of bitcoin that we cannot use bitcoin it self in our real life.. but nowadays thanks to bitcoin debit/credit cards this problem is pretty much solved out.
you just need to get a credit card. fill up that with your bitcoin. go to super market and buy everything with bitcoin.. cheers.
In recent years cryptocurrency market has changed dramatically, but that does not mean that everyone can not only but also want to deal with bitcoin. Perhaps the possibility or even the prospects are good, but the reality is still different.
The reality is we are still in the early stage and for me it is the best opportunity to invest than spend since there are only few merchants that are accepting bitcoins as payment but in the future for sure we can see some substantial growth on the numbers of merchant so invest now and take your profit in the future.
1297  Other / Off-topic / Re: How kids can "earn" Bitcoin ? on: August 27, 2016, 02:30:09 AM
My kid wants to make some money.

I never cared much of those easy systems but seems it would work for him.

I gave him 2 faucets but i ALSO remember there was servers/games where one could make Bitcoin [or altcoin] just for playing.

Would you remind ?
He idolize you that's why he/she wants him self to become you someday thats why he asking you to help me where to start and ofcourse you need him to give some break to understand things much better if you are going to teach the basic one. Where you are going to explain what is the bitcoin and where the bitcoin comming from Cheesy
Well, how old your kid anyway? if he is under 18 years old I would not recommend you to teach him about bitcoins. I have my rule for my kids that they should only focus on their studies until they reach at that age because I know kids has no good decision making yet.
1298  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: August 27, 2016, 02:25:03 AM
Due to its inflation and high risk, I don't personnally recommend. In case you really insisted, you should have a 1% exposure, at most. Not more.

The high risk is if the project fails which i highly doubt. Look at the new capital spent in bitcoin start ups. Even the altcoins. Crypto is the future and bitcoin has the best papers to make it work.
Al alt's are just there for show and make the developers rich.
Not really, there are altcoins that has a great potential in the future and some developers are really good with the plan, the only problem is the marketing or the product or services because the image of altcoins is not really good compared to a more reputable bitcoin.
1299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: August 27, 2016, 02:13:29 AM
If I were rich I would certainly do something more lucrative as an investment. Because it would supplement my income properly. Although I gamble it is just to have fun and my entertainment.
That should be the way to gamble when you are rich, we focus on the fun and not on the money. Anyway, there is no sense in gambling when you are focusing on money when you are already rich, as long as there is a discipline rich people will enjoy gambling more.

I agree, if you are already rich then you won't matter losing anymore when gambling. You will just do it for your own pleasure without thinking how much you will lose. It doesn't matter to you if you win or not. Your only goal is to gamble in your heart's desire until you are tired doing it.

but if I can get rich from gamble then I will not gamble anymore, I will make my offline business and make investment on gold. but I think there just in my dream  Grin
yeah agree with you. maybe if I become rich someday. I would not use gambling to my bitcoin growing methods. because it would be very risky for my wealth. I will use a more secure method but if I just play for fun in gambling. maybe it's not a problem?




As long as you keep it under control and as a hobby, gambling for fun will not put a risk to your wealth, so donīt worry.
yeah in this way it is completely normal and i think i would still gamble because playing slots is really interesting for me and i get entertainment with it

I know some people that do exactly that, they play slots mostly to relax after a difficult week on their jobs.
Slots are actually entertaining and it is more entertaining when you play it in a real casino. Rich people do spend more money in gambling but it does not make them worry because they are enjoying it even though they are losing their money, very opposite to the poor people who are in gambling.
1300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: August 27, 2016, 02:09:51 AM
I have noticed so many players are just gambling for the sake of profits only. But majority of them loses most of the games eventually as they are not smart players.

So how should we gamble in a smart way so that we do not get more frustrations due to continuous losses?

To gamble in a smart way is the only to become expert in there, as f you will have good knowledge about any game and will have a good experience in there then you will be able to play it with good manner and will be able to win every game.
Even expert loses, expert are just good in managing their money in gambling but most of them are not successful. Only chosen people will become successful in gambling so we need to accept that reality that the smartest way to play in gambling is just to minimize your loses and enjoy.
