541  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does bitcoin need to improve? on: February 14, 2018, 06:51:44 PM
I like how Bitcoin is, I can't think about any other necessary improvement besides transactions fee costs at this moment.

It's more about what shouldn't be "improved" than what should be improved, considering some people believe any Bitcoin's legalization and regulations are improvements...

I follow some guidelines:

- Never sell most part of your coins;
- Withdraw profit progressively;
- Always buy when BTC price drops considerably;
- Always sell after a high and fast increasement in price (taking in consideration the first guideline);
- Don't become desperate if you have lost a nice profit opportunity;
- NEVER panic selling!

As you can see some countries have already banned Bitcoin, they don't want the digital currency being used on their countries by the local citizens. So I believe Bitcoin isn't going to be accepted in all countries in the future. Different countries have different views about many subjects and with Crypto-Currency it's not different, so there will be different attitudes towards Bitcoin depending the country... Some more friendly, some more hostile (ban).
545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: February 13, 2018, 08:42:56 PM
Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?

And where's the money aspect in that? Sure, online games played with friends or just random people are fun, but their purpose is completely different from the purpose of gambling. To give you an example, online gaming's main psychical aspect is rivalry and sense of accomplishment. You want to beat other people and feel that envy towards you, when others congratulate you or are angry because they can't handle the beating. You feel relaxed and happy, that's it. No real profit.
Gambling gives you similar sense of accomplishment, but it also fills your wallet.

Yeah you are right both give different levels of fun and pleasure,so we can't online gambling as an alternative for gambling.But most of the people doing gambling for money making so the fact is they need to risk their money if they want to multiply it.
I agree.People who play online games even at home just feel pure fun and pleasure.But with gambling in real casinos,the players don't just want to feel fun and excitement but they have also that eagerness to win and make some profit.Of course they will if they got the luck somehow but most of the time,they just go  home with their pockets empty but still wish to play again to win back their losses.

Even when their pockets are empty, gamblers would still want to play and relive the thrill of betting. This is something that an online game cannot replicate because there is no risk of losing when you are playing an online game. You may die in the game and have another life but when you are gambling, you put something at risk and hope for it to either multiply or to lose it totally, or even worse, lose more than that. Gambling provides a sense of satisfaction once you win which may not be experienced in online games.

Yes, it's purely for the excitement aspect. The feeling you have when gambling it's not the same while playing online games. It's not even about necessity to earn money, because money could be made by playing online games and selling accounts/game's money/items later for real money. And those more addicted that try playing online games to forget gambling will have difficult to do this, because inside the online games gambling also exists. There are real big gambling industries inside online games moving thousands of dollars daily...
546  Economy / Economics / Re: How does bitcoin works with traditional banks to stabilise world economy? on: February 13, 2018, 07:08:14 PM
There are two possible reasons why people use banks nowadays:

1. Because there isn't any other option;
2. Because they think their money is safe there.

With Bitcoin's introduction, people will have another option besides banks. But then it hits on the second point, security. Traditional banks are still considered safer than Bitcoin, so people will be in doubt about what to do... There are advantages and disadvantages on both sides and only time will tell what side people will take. Banks only need to worry if many people start moving their money to Bitcoin, and there is a chance it doesn't happen, taking people's fear in consideration.

And if people takes Bitcoin side, banks will have to offer an alternative more interesting for both parts, probably an alternative in parcery with local government, involving regulations and new rules to seem beneficial to bank's users at first impression, but that will be the same thing than before Bitcoin appeared... The same old fiat system with a new makeup.

548  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: February 13, 2018, 05:51:04 PM
winning a lottery prize with just 30 tickets, wow.  #thedream

That's why to win the lottery we need to be lucky then we can win even with just one lottery ticket. If one is not lucky then even buy 90% of lottery also can't win a big amount. I'm trying my luck for more than a year every week with few hundred lotteries but until now still waiting...
One of the reasons why you don't need to spend anything for the lottery is even though you are increasing your chances of winning the lottery there is no guarantee that at the end you will win the jackpot prize or even any of the prizes in the lottery on that matter. The best strategy for this is to get as much as tickets as you can without paying anything and you can do it with many ways from referrals to claiming its faucet.

Am I the only way who opted out the option of receiving 2 lottery tickets with every free roll? I changed this to receive 2 extra reward points for every roll, as this is more interesting in my eyes. Getting referrals is indeed the way to go, but as MinerHQ already mentioned, quite difficult to obtain referrals who stay active. Maybe with the name change there will a renewed interest in this site to get more referrals.

I thought about changing the option of receiving 2 lottery tickets for 2 RPs too, but even with 2 tickets you have some probability to win, it's a chance in a million and on long term seems it worth more than extra 2 RPs (2 satoshis) per roll. Those more addicted may claim 10 times a day at FreeBitco.in, it's 20 lottery tickets or 20 extra satoshis (20 RPs)... I think the free lottery tickets every hour are still more worthful.

I always accumulate my reward points to exchange them for a free BTC bonus (3200 RP = 1000 %), than you can gain +/- 250 satoshi/free roll.

Each RP is equal to 1 satoshi. By buying 1000% booster for 3200 RPs, you will claim 230-250 satoshis every roll, what is very good, but keep in mind it lasts for 24 hours only and if you aren't able to make 3200 satoshis profit from it, the boost won't worth at all.

What means you should claim at least 13 times a day considering you claim 250 satoshis every hour...
For very active users it will worth. I don't know if it's forbidden to share an account with another person, so the boost could be more enjoyable.
549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 5 countries that banned bitcoin on: February 13, 2018, 03:58:58 PM
Underdeveloped countries, in which the state controls everything.
I'm glad that this is not in Russia, but it may seem

Yes, plus, passive population that accepts everything that is imposed to them.

The reasons why these countries banned Bitcoin are ridiculous. It's like banning airports from the country because airplanes crash or to ban all the cars because they can cause accidents and kill people.

Every place where the most part of population is passive, it's a fertile soil for maniacs trying to control people's lives via the big state machine.
550  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: General use of bitcoin as a legal currency on: February 13, 2018, 03:36:18 PM
Take in consideration Bitcoin and its technology are something relatively new in the world and governments don't act without thinking a lot about the consequences first. For people of this forum, Bitcoin is already a well known currency, but for people out of this forum and probably out of internet, Bitcoin is unknown and many governments only discovered about it on the last year or so...

They are studying the best way to adopt Bitcoin and/or its technology. As was said here, they want a currency they can control and it's hard to control Bitcoin, so they must think about it: "Legalize Bitcoin or not? What are the another options do we have?"

By the end of this year we will have many news about this subject in the media.
551  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Money or Currency on: February 13, 2018, 03:09:21 PM
It's the same thing. Currency is "the money that is used in a particular country at a particular time".

Currency = Money.

I think we don't need to make this complicated. We understand Bitcoin as currency and as money since you can use it to adquire new items, to pay for services and to execute successful trades. Everything a traditional currency/money/fiat can do, Bitcoin can do as well, at least theoretically.
552  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If bitcoin is gone will the other coin survive? on: February 13, 2018, 06:17:01 AM
No, the existence of bitcoin will no affects the life status of the other electronic coin in the cryptocurrrency.
Bitcoin has a separate juridical personality among other coins; therefore they will not be affected what happen to each of them. They are independent to each other.

But when BTC price decreases, all the Crypto-Currency market loses value as well. The AltCoins success is interconnected with BTC success. By observing the market, what makes Crypto-Currency world survive at this moment is Bitcoin strength.
Maybe in the future it will change, but for now that is how it works...

I might say Bitcoin is the store of value of Crypto-Currency world, like gold and assets are the store of value of many countries.  Cheesy
553  Economy / Economics / Re: how many coke cans you can buy with one dollar in your country? on: February 13, 2018, 05:39:25 AM
Don't you buy coke in liters bottles in your countries? Everyone talking about 350ml cans...

With one dollar I can buy about 1 coke can of 350 ml, depending the place I can't buy even 1 coke can with 1 dollar...
It's more advantageous to buy a bottle of 2 liters, it stays aroud $2.28 dollars, at supermarket and depending the supermarket a bit less.
554  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: fauchet on: February 13, 2018, 04:43:47 AM
Faucets used to be a good source of Bitcoins few years ago, now it's not so good.

You won't find many good faucets around. It's not an extra income anymore, as it takes too much time to claim from most faucets and the rewards are low.
The only advantage of faucets is if you will save your satoshis for the future, so when BTC price skyrocket, you will see your little earnings from faucets gaining value. Let's say Bitcoin increases 1000% its price, so your earnings will value 1000% as well...

But if you want short term profit, faucets aren't for you...

It certainly is the case that it's worth holding on to your Satoshis to see what happens to the price in the future. But there are ways of increasing your faucet earnings to something meaningful. Building up a circle of referral is one way of increasing your income quite significantly.

It's true, with a good circle of active referrals you can have a nice passive income from faucets. The problem is that like us, our referrals don't like low rewards too and they won't claim if there aren't good faucets around. I don't know if owners of faucet lists/rotators are being successful in referring people to faucets, but the only faucet I managed to get few active referrals were FreeBitco.in, other faucets I get some referrals, but they become inactive really fast.
555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You can actually buy a lot of things with Bitcoin on: February 13, 2018, 04:21:40 AM
The problem is that Bitcoin is still too exclusive for informatic, digital goods enthusiasts. Those who aren't too connected to informatic and technology will have difficult to spend their Bitcoins, maybe the maximum non-informatic goods you will find are some online clothes stores accepting BTC. The ordinary user wants to buy useful items for their daily life (food, to pay bills, fuel...) and for those Bitcoin is still useless as currency, but fantastic as investment.
556  Economy / Economics / Re: Where you see a Crash, I see a Fire Sale! on: February 12, 2018, 08:10:30 PM
Although I agree with you, when you say that this is a great opportunity to buy bitcoin now, I don't think that focusing and justifying the buy based on bitcoin price is a good approach. I think that, is what put us in this this massive sell out in the first place. And if I'm completely honest, I guess that was what put us at the all time highs as well.

What I really want to see, is people talking about bitcoin development, and the progress that is being made in terms of regulation. This is what will get us the adoption we all want, because BTC is a solid project with tremendous potencial.

This is not the point. People are obsessed with the price and how much profit they can make. If this is important to them and they care less about the fundamental technology and the principle behind it, then we should promote that. They want profit, so we show them the potential to make that profit. <Buy low>

We have to remember, most people do not use bitcoins because it is cheaper or faster than traditional payment methods, they use bitcoin because they can make quick profits. <buying low and selling high> If we deny that, then we lie to ourselves.

Let them do what they want, it is always a WIN/WIN situation for us, whatever the reason might be for them to use Bitcoin. They will soon realize that Bitcoin is so much more than a Get, Rich quick scheme. ^smile^

It's true. We should bring everyone to adopt Bitcoin taking in consideration their particular expectations about the currency. If it's profit they want, promote the profit feature, if it's hype they want, promote the hype, if it's accessibility they want, promote the accessibility.

This way we aren't segregating any investor's profile, but uniting all these profiles around a common ideal, that is Bitcoin ascension.
When we say what must be the focus (taking our personal expectation as it should be the same for all), we are just moving away potential investors that could help increasing Bitcoin's demand.
Why would tell on separate informations? Their interest might be different but it would be much more effective if we do tell all the information's and the benefits that it gives rather than on mentioning just one. If he doesnt like the first one then you can proceed to another one until it caught its attention. Talking back into topic risk takers will always make a move when theres a crash since they do able to see the profiting opportunity later on when price tends to reverse.

You can tell all the informations, but would be smart on your part if you focus on the most interesting information for the person you are talking to. And in many cases it's not technical aspects that call people's attention, and it shouldn't be a problem, as they can have interest in Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies even if they don't want to invest mainly because the technology, what it represents, etc...

One of the main reasons people invest, as OP said, is profit, so take advantage of it, focus on the profitable side of Bitcoin to make your marketing.
Spread the benefits of a crash in BTC price, even laymen can understand how they can take advantage from it, starting the investment on the right time.

559  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is bitcoin worth? Welcome to discuss on: February 12, 2018, 05:09:42 PM
Someone has said bitcoin is of no value, in my heart I think they said is wrong, I always think that bitcoin is valuable, but I didn't understand what is the origin of the value of bitcoin, why accept more people, its value will rise? If you have other ideas, please discuss.

Bitcoin doesn't have intrinsic value, the digital currency isn't backed by anything, it fully depends on high demand to keep getting more value along the time. That is the origin of Bitcoin value: high demand. When it increases (when more people put their offers to buy Bitcoin), more the price increases.

And it's totally worthful, not only because it's a profitable investment, but because it's decentralized, you just need a virtual wallet address to start using and transacting Bitcoins. It's the perfect solution to receive online payments without need of giving your personal details online. Surely there are other digital currencies that could do the same function (AltCoins), but Bitcoin is more trustful, plus more profitable than any other currency. It's a advantageous combo.
560  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: BITCOIN IN AFRICA on: February 12, 2018, 03:34:37 AM
The way I saw today, Africa will be the next continent to be conquered by bitcoin. The only reason it will be difficult though because of their infrastructure. They have to put a better internet connections because they can actually used bitcoin and crypto. But some of the countries like Nigeria have been adopting bitcoin fairly quick. I think they are leading of amongst the top bitcoin users/traders in their. Again, with the vast population of Africa, each one of the government should step up their infrastructure program so that bitcoin can fully grow in their. We all know how bitcoin help South East Asian 3rd world countries to earn and make a decent living out of bitcoin. That model could also be adopted in Africa. Maybe along the 5 year mark bitcoin will be recognize more in that continent.

Yes, it could happen. But first people must learn how to use Crypto-Currency without wasting money with Ponzi HYIP investments. Also, Africa is a very poor continent, internet access there is limited for many people, what would affect a lot Bitcoin's adoption. The situation there is very complicated, too many conflicts in many countries, what makes the concrete development almost impossible to be achieved.

And in Africa it is already happening an interesting phenom. Bitcoin price there is much more expensive than at rest of the world. Seems the rich ones there are already ruling/controlling the market... Did Bitcoin experience in Africa fail?
