561  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: fauchet on: February 12, 2018, 02:03:17 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...
562  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are the best Bitcoin faucets in 2018? on: February 12, 2018, 12:38:28 AM
The only decent faucet I know right now is feebitco.in; though I really really don't suggest using faucets as they give little to no value. It could take weeks and weeks of collecting faucets just to cover the transaction fee itself. If you want to learn how to transact with bitcoin, I suggest buying a small amount like $2 or so. If you're looking at using faucets for monetary reasons, then I suggest that you work at a fast food chain instead; sure, the pay is bad, but not as bad as faucets.

This one is good, has extra features. I use always that possible.

I suggest OP using FreeDoge.co.in as well. It belongs to the same owner and has similar design. Payments are made in DOGE, but you have one chance every hour to win up to $150 in DOGE (easy to claim, clean site, no pop-ups, no short-links). At FreeBitco.in it's one free chance every hour to win up to $200. (exchange DOGE into BTC later, it won't hurt...).

Some other good faucets appear, but disappear after few days or even hours, as they aren't sustainable, so always check Micro Earnings section.
If you are lucky you may find a good flash offer.

Almost all of your points are about bribery and professional protesters... If people are fighting for a cause they shouldn't receive money for that, otherwise they will be just mercenaries. In the end, police and all other sectors of society are citizens too and must be persuated to join forces by the ideal behind the movement and not by bribery.

And we must be very cautious about it, because it's not always that protests are legit and have loyal ideals behind it. Some of them are leaded by other corrupt people to cause chaos in the country or just to defeat one corrupt party, but to put another corrupt one next...

It's a very complex subject, not so easy to deal with it.
564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The US to pay taxes with bitcoin on: February 11, 2018, 10:46:26 PM
I have read an article about it, seems it's true. Arizona can be the first US state to accept Bitcoin and other Crypto-Currencies as payment method for taxes. If it really happens it will be a nice experience on how effective Crypto-Currency can be in real world and how effective and fair can be the regulations over it. If the experience will be positive, it will be an example for another countries that want to ban or put heavy regulations over their citizens.
565  Economy / Economics / Re: Why we need price crashes and panic selloffs on: February 11, 2018, 08:13:32 PM
This is just a thought that occurred to me while reading some posts around here, feel free to discuss it or even criticize it. So if we want Bitcoin to rise in the future, we need it to crash first and many wannabe traders to sell off their coins at a loss when the price is low. If people don't close their positions in panic now and just wait out bad times, they simply won't let prices grow later because they will get out whenever the price rises just enough for them. But if they fix their losses, they will no longer have bitcoins to record minor profits and thus drag the price down in the future. As a consequence, the price can surge higher without a lot of selling pressure at bigger figures when the hype and buying frenzy begins anew.

The bottom line is that it is kinda required for Bitcoin to crash occasionally for the prices to rise higher eventually.

I think what you're trying to say is that crashes are needed to redistribute bitcoin to the strong hands from the weak hands. In order for the price to increase we will need people with a lower willingness to sell but that doesn't mean that we need a crash for such a thing to happen.

Crashes are useful in ways, take for example the last one, if we say 6k is the bottom, we now have many who bought in for large amounts at 6k, they will then be holding strong for a while more for a considerably higher price, whereas we maybe lost a lot of people who had initially bought in the 1-3k range and were willing to take their profit.

While I agree with the premise, the simplicity of it is that it all comes down to demand and supply at a certain price.

I believe the most benefited by crashes in price are the big investors and not the little ones. The strong hands become stronger, the weak hands become weaker and in some cases, the weak hands lose all their coins... Surely some new enthusiasts benefit themselves from crashes too, as it's a good opportunity to buy cheap and hold, but for each $1 profit a new enthusiast/little fish makes, a whale is making $100 or even more...

All depends demand and supply, we could skyrocket without any crash if the demand were always high.
566  Economy / Marketplace / Re: What is the most critical moments in Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin history on: February 11, 2018, 06:44:29 PM
In general I think the worse critial moment was when that exchange Mt. Gox crashed and BTC's price crashed as well... For me, personally, the worse moment was when I heared rumors some politicians were trying considering Bitcoin a criminal activity and consequently turning all its users into criminal ones in my country, however seems this project didn't go ahed on the congress so far.

Happiest moment was when I started in Crypto-Currency world, I was very excited, it was a new world for me, very singular sensation.
567  Economy / Economics / Re: US senators undecided in their attitude towards crypto-currencies and their regu on: February 11, 2018, 05:50:13 PM
I think they aren't so undecided about it.

Quote
The Arizona Senate passed a bill on Feb. 8 to allow residents in the state to pay their taxes with cryptocurrencies, public records indicate.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-arizona-senate-passes-bill-to-allow-tax-payments-in-bitcoin

Arizona is near to be the first state in the US to accept Crypto-Currency as payment method for taxes (not only Bitcoin, but Litecoin and even other recognized AltCoins by the department). Seems they are adapting themselves to Crypto technology, the regulation comes next, let's see how harmful it will be for Crypto enthusiasts or thinking from an optimistic point of view, if the regulations will be fair, it can be an example for other countries.

Well, if your cup of sand is really the original one, don't worry, it will skyrocket very soon!

Otherwise, if all the cups of sand were the same, why would the original one be so valuable while all the rest are behind?
569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever stopped or removed from casino on: February 11, 2018, 02:40:30 AM
Kindly share your experience if you ever being faced situation where either you where not allowed to enter the casinos due to either improper attire, age verification issue etc.  Also anytime till now have you being removed from the casinos? It could be due to any of reasons e.g - Misbehaving or fighting, getting high and creating ruckus, caught cheating etc.

Share your true experience if you ever had to face any such situations or related to it any incident that occurred with you.


I was travelling abroad and happen to visit casinos but i was in flip flops and as per the rules a proper attire was must. I was not being allowed inspite of me explaining I cam from abroad and will be leaving tonight and was not aware of such policy etc. But they where strict with the rules and I had to return back form their.

Yes, land casinos normally do have some restrictions on what you can wear and even what you can bring into the casinos. Better to do a bit of research on the casinos in questions before going there, to prevent any inconveniences.
They needed to implement this restriction to avoid some much bigger issue and also for their business to look professionally, we know by facts that inside a land base casino's more decent person are also playing and to attract them casino owners need to restrict and implement some house rules, so just like what you have said its really needed to research and review the casino that you are intending to visit so you know what you needed to do to enjoy your stay.

These casinos aren't for anyone. They want to attract more refined gamblers, those who play high, spend big money and that know and respect the local etiquette. But there are casinos for every kind of people, the poor ones, the average ones, the rich ones...
Even in countries where casinos are considered illegal, things work this way.

As you said, better to look for details about the casino you are intending to go to prevent desnecessary, uncomfortable situations.
570  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do you want high price of bitcoin after all? on: February 11, 2018, 02:11:09 AM
At first I want to say: Read my post carefully and don't spam.
We all wanted high price, higher than 1000$ and got it, we got even 19k and there people were hoping more than 20K, they think like it's infinitive.
Did so high price do a good job? No, higher satoshi/byte fees became even higher in value because of price rise, some exchangers closed registration and etc. In reality there was no need of 19k but I think currently it's best to see price between 5000-8000$. There isn't so much demand.
You want high price to get much from holding? Seems you hang on bitcoin and are only selfish.

People want to see their money gaining value, the opposite they see on their countries when using fiat. They want to have access to profitable investments, as their reality didn't allow it by now... By the moment Bitcoin appeared. Increasements in BTC price are positive events, it doesn't affect anyone negatively, so why those who are wishing this are selfish?

Bitcoin can be the opportunity for many to turn miserable pennies into a profitable budget, being possible to live decently, making this money grow even more and those who are focused on it aren't selfish, they have conscience their currently life isn't good enough and they want to improve it, surely not harming anyone to achieve what they want.

You may say higher BTC price = higher fees, but with improvements in BTC it's possible to reduce the satoshis/byte fee and if necessary, I believe it would be possible even to add more decimal houses to Bitcoin.

In my opinion selfish are those who don't want to see people developing their lives quality independently, via legit system's 'gaps', as I consider Bitcoin one of them.
571  Economy / Securities / Re: 👍I suggest the contribution of bitcoins at 25% per annum !!!👍 on: February 10, 2018, 09:39:02 PM
I can't affirm if your intentions are legit or not, but this offer doesn't seem solid and I doubt anyone would send you their Bitcoins. There are other investment offers around on the internet and that seem much more solid than yours...

If you are really able to make so much profit like you claim, use your own money, with such skills you won't need much time until you turn your savings into a decent bankroll. Good luck.
572  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Will be Zero on: February 10, 2018, 08:38:37 PM
nothing is impossible in this world. could be bitcoin to be no price or can be said zero. it will happen if there is no more enthusiasts bitcoin and other crypto. but if we look at the development of the era. this will not happen, because the sophistication of technology that is owned by bitcoi and crypto will be very we need in the future

Yes, nothing is impossible in this world... But to decrease Bitcoin's demand to zero it would be really hard, at least in our currently reality. In some decades we don't know what is going to happen, what technologies we will have at our disposal, what nation will be ruling the world, etc... Several big and little factors can influence Bitcoin's demand and consequently its price.

But I don't believe at present moment someone can influence the market somehow to defeat Bitcoin, leading it to Zero.

Tried the game here, worked fine. Congratulations for your job.

Keep improving it. I think this game could go to Micro Earnings section to gain more visibility, but then, you would need to offer some reward to players in the end. And as the game is more interesting than normal faucets, you don't need to offer big rewards, just a symbolic prize.
575  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin, how far it can go! on: February 10, 2018, 03:47:53 PM
In 2018, we are having a lot of issues relating to cryptocurrencies and most of these issues are regulations and governments trying to centralized Bitcoin by establishing control over it.
I am thinking if Bitcoin can actually fight on as we can see from the pricing of recent that Bitcoin has been dropping and it is finding it difficult to recover. How far can Bitcoin go? Has governments using the tools' of regulation to control Bitcoin pricing working for them? Your opinion will be appreciated and if you make a good view about what is happening you will get merit from me. Thanks.

Bitcoin is fighting on because traders are pumping the currency again, especially the whales, who have great influence on this camp.
We don't know how far Bitcoin can go, it's unpredictable, but nothing changed from past expectations, on short term everything can happen, on long term the chances are very good for Bitcoin's prosperity (to the moon!).

Governments are just trying to not lose their 'passive income', the abusive taxes citizens pay to them each new month and right after each purchase with fiat on their countries. They don't need to control BTC's price if they can turn Bitcoin into a centralized currency like fiat, and as it seems unprobable, they can just adopt another strategy and create their own Crypto-Currency.

577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shyness in gambling on: February 10, 2018, 02:40:37 AM
It's normal to be shy when you are new in a place. It's like the first time you go to school, you don't know anyone, everyone looks to you as you were from another planet, but slowly you start adapting yourself to the new environment. Maybe shyness in gambling isn't connected to fear on most of times, but just connected to the strange feeling when you start visiting new places that you aren't used to.
578  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Regulation Can Also Be Protection on: February 10, 2018, 12:01:26 AM
It's ok for me to regulate bitcoin exchanges if the purpose is to protect the users from any harm or illegal means. But if the government will later abused it or use by some people in power to be their source of money or use it in extortion activities, it is no longer beneficial to the users and to the people as whole. Excessive regulation is not also a good idea because the right of users will only be limited to a fewer choices. Good regulation will ensure the safety of users' transactions and may prevent someone from using the cryptocurrency in illegal activities. Personally I don't like regulation but if the government is decided to impose it then we have no choice.

Anything that is excessive can be not anymore good and this wisdom is quite true with almost anything we do or get concerned with in life. This is quite true with cryptocurrency. While there can be legitimate reasons to regulate, the same platform can be abused by anyone. And maybe that is the reason why we have to be vigilant always as there is no perfect government at all.

What would be a good regulation taking the exchange's example?

I believe it would be to have a 'clear', transparent exchange, which we would know the names of the people behind the site. The problem is that the governments charge a lot of money from services and consequently from its users (because the services won't have any loss, they will pass their outgoing to users), just to make the first ones regulated.

That is not fair. The right thing would be to not charge anything (maybe a little insignificant amount) from exchanges, let them operate like they currently operate, but just make them show their legit informations!

People aren't trying to hide themselves, they are just trying to not pay abusive taxes because their activities are regulated and a government's parasite charge a lot of money just to make the regulative job.

One thing for sure...if the government want to pass regulations then there is nothing we can do but follow not unless one is so mentally prepared for all the hassles going against the law.

If there were unity and discernment among the citizens of a country, only fair regulations would pass. What happens is that people against these regulations are minority in many places, so they are easily weakened by the local authorities.

what ever i earn i dont know what to do with them and in some time i loose them again...

So seems you don't know what to do with surplus money. Money that doesn't have a finality goes to gambling as don't have where to spend it, is it?
You should find a finality for this money that doesn't involve gambling games. Look for a smart investment, look for an activity you want to practice/learn, some people prefer to spend surplus money with collectibles, you just need to find what you really like in life. Addictions are a signal of empty life...

And he gives a good advice:

"I'd just put it into bitcoin," he says. "I think bitcoin is the safest cryptocurrency right now."

A good hint for those who are/were exchanging most part of their funds to AltCoins because BTC price was falling...
