I also think that this source is not reliable, news about Amazon accepting bitcoins are in circulation for years, and I will not believe in this until it finally happen. 16 days until the date, I would like this to happen, I will buy something on Amazon with bitcoins and I will see how that works soon as it happen. I think some people wrote to Amazon and they shared their answer, they can get many new customers with accepting bitcoins and they know it, that's why they will accept bitcoins one day.

This can be the best explanation for current rise. I don't know how I didn't remember that. People already forgot panic and fear before 1 August, now we know what will happen, there is no panic and people wish to have as much bitcoins as they can, not just dealers. Demand is going up and people are waiting hard fork before any unnecessary bitcoin spending.
Bitcoin holders will be better prepared for this fork, does this mean that bitcoin gold can have better start then bitcoin cash?

I think that crypto currencies are better then regular currencies. One government in collusion with bank sector can manipulate with money, they will still from people and rich people will get richer.
In decentralized system people from all over the world surveil one another, and its much harder to manipulate with money. Cause I live in third world country I know how it looks like when banks are using people, and this banks headquarters are located in Brisel, London. US, people in western countries live better cause their banks steal more money from undeveloped countries.
Technology is better then economy, and economy as we know it today is made to confuse us while rich people taking advantage. That's why crypto currencies are better, with crypto currencies we can have better future for all the people in this world and not just some.

I don`t believe this newbie about this, but there is something about bitstarz. Many people complain on them, my experience there is not good too.
I don`t play there cause I asked nicely about first deposit bonus, match bonus and free spins, they said I just need to deposit and that is it. I deposited a bit more then 50 mbtc, I got match bonus but I couldn`t play all the games, and I didn`t get free spins, reason for that is cause I`m from country that have some restrictions. I asked nicely before deposit, they didn`t said nothing about any restrictions, I wrote to support and I didn`t got nothing, that was my first and last time there.
P.S. Cause I was in the bonus I needed to play, I lost my money on their slots in couple hours.

Bitcoins is probably the best coins for trading cause its fluctuations, if you are dare to trade with high amounts bitcoin would be perfect coin with its daily fluctuations. I am buying some altcoins and wait them to rise in price more then month if I need to, some coins I keep even longer like DGB cause it will rise again on 1000 sat, now I'm buying for 300 when ever I can. Ripple is good coin with 1000 satoshi fluctuations, and many more.

Say goodbye to your bitcoins. Its easier to prevent something to happen, I say that cause one newbie is coming here to complain after losing coins, where were you until now?
I don't believe that he had this bitcoins in his possession in the first place, in all this time here I saw many similar threads and what we need to do know, to solve his problem?  
One more imaginary thread on this forum, moderators need to make one more section for this kind of topics, same as when newbies complain on casinos and how some casino took money from them.

You could try to gamble with them and make some extra money if you are lucky. Just joking, I didn`t have much bitcoins moment of work, little over 0.2 bitcoins, so bitcoin fork didn`t bring me some big amount of bitcoin cash, I exchange that for bitcoins and invested in some other alts. I don`t know will it be useless or not, its just my opinion about altcoins, I think that some other altcoins have better future and that I can make better profit
with some others altcoins. Bitcoin cash price in the start looked overpriced to me, I thought it will drop, for me its a surprise that price is holding on +300$.

I love to play slots, a lot! And I had some awesome wins. I think that I had luck many times, cause I played with limited bankroll, and when you play slots like that either you will have luck with some bonus spins, or you will lose all you have very fast. My last big win was on betcoin.ag, I played goblins, its a good slot, on bonus round he gave me 1.6 btc. I withdraw most of the money, with 0.4 I continued to gamble and I lost them in couple hours, with some slots I didn`t have luck and on slots bankroll is going down very fast with some higher bets.
My strategy is simple, find a nice slot that you like, start with minimal bet, feel the situation. I choose slots that have very good bonuses, I think I know most of them cause I had luck to win some good money on them. If you like the slot on minimum and you didn`t get some big win you should rise bets, its how I do it, and if I`m lucky I win something big if not I lose all bankroll, and that happened many, many, many times.

Sometimes its really hard to manage time for bitcoins. I can sit and spend hours on reading about bitcoin here and on other places, gamble on second window, check prices of bitcoin and several altcoins. I count that as a free time when I can sit in my chair, make coffee and enjoy for some time without
anyone or anything to bother me. How I manage time is hard to explain, sometimes its easy and simple, but there are days when I barely find one free hour in all day. Many of us here work, families or just girlfriends and friends, finding time for all that some days can be very tricky, sometimes I need tell to myself that I need to sleep more, and rest more, but where to find time for that.

Too 3 countries are fron South Amerman, I knew that they are involved in crypto world, but I didn't except they are so high on the list. Crypto currencies have much more influence in countries where there is huge problems with economy, people from there have more trust in crypto currencies then in their monetary politic and government. Bitcoins and other altcoins have a future, and every year more people are involved. In just one year this list will look different and numbers will be much higher.

"Gold is soft and does not tarnish or corrode, it makes excellent jewelery, it is a good material for filling cavities in teeth, and it makes excellent fine wire for electronics. Gold is very reflective, so it is used to protect spacecraft and satellites from solar radiation." You can find this info about gold on many places, gold is used for many things. Before, I mean long before gold was used as currency but now gold is precious metal used for things I mentioned already and many more things. Bitcoin can be used as currency, bitcoin can be used as investment, gold was currency and now we can invest in gold, but except this two connections gold can be used for much more things, bitcoin can`t. Gold can be used in dentistry and medicine, electronics, jewelry, and more, bitcoin can be used for this things,  how can bitcoin replace gold then? Can you put bitcoin in your teeth?

I think you are talking about provably fair gambling here, bitcoin casinos offers you to check their provably fair system, while fiat based casinos do not have that option. One more bitcoin advantage in my opinion is that we can move bitcoins more easily then we can move fiat. For moving big amounts of fiat you need to go to the bank and sign papers, ask for permissions, with bitcoins you are your own boss and you move them as you wish when ever you wish.
Week ago maybe I saw new advertise for new ico on twitter, they plan to build first land based bitcoin casino. I tried to search about them and I found CryptoChip - World's first land-based casinos cryptocurrency, this is not the one I saw first, so looks like there are two similar coins with similar business plan, this can be interesting, I don`t know are they scam or not, but this will be revolution in gambling industry if they build land based bitcoin casino.

Bitcoin still didn't found its place, in some moments demand is high and price is going up, in other moment we see panic made by some bad news people are selling bitcoins and price is going down.
Imagine someone paying with bitcoins and price drop, well that happened already but what happen if you as a buyer purchase something for 1 btc and that is 4.350 dollars and tomorrow you see price 15.000$, that sucks for you cause you overpaid that product and merchant is the one who is earning. Risk is something that is common for all of us.

I agree too, gold is valuable, visible and we can feel it in our hands, price od gold will be high always, probably in the future price will grow more, slow for sure, but it will grow.
Bitcoin is technology, we can't see bitcoins and feel it in our hands, but it's the future of money and price of bitcoin will rise much faster cause of adoption and rising popularity.
Its good to have both and save in both, at least who can. Price of gold is more stable and safe, bitcoin is risky but can bring more profit.

It`s like that now, but what will happen in the future? I would like banks to disappear, but they are to rich, they accumulated so much wealth that we can`t imagine that. They will just make some transformation, who stops them to buy servers and make some new alt-coin? Maybe some of them already did it, do we even know what are they doing behind closed doors. They are filthy rich, and they can do what ever they wish. Sadly we can`t do nothing about it, they are organized, and as people are divided. Any attempt to make people to work together is failed or destroyed in beginning, that`s why banks rule the world, it`s cause all the money is controlled by them.

I decided to do something about spam on this forum, and to give my contribution in fight against spam. This forum can be a better place, I believe that we can make better organization of our comments. Let`s try to create a system that we will follow in every section of this forum, to make easier for each of us to find good and valuable informations. This is my first try, have respect for that!
Let`s have 1 thread about this topic, not as many as we have now. We will keep track of one thread easier then  10 different threads with same headline, and hundreds of same or similar comments.
First of all let`s choose a topic where we will discuss about specific question or matter, we need to avoid new threads that newbies are making each day with same problems and same questions, avoid them or if you wish to comment something point that newbie where to find thread about it and stop there.
Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, everyone can change opinion, add new information`s. What I wish we to do is to stick with facts all the time, with verified informations, and after that to give our opinion on that.
Point is: LETS ACT AS CONNECTED COMMUNITY, NOT AS INDIVIDUALS.

System I have in mind is very easy to follow, I will give first example and I ask others to follow me in this!!!


Question is clear: Are ICO`s a scam?!

YES:
NO:
NOT ALL OF THEM: 1  Vote for this option.

Before 1 and a half year I had chance to invest in bitcoins and some alt-coins (in that time icos), I spent bitcoins other things, I missed my chance
to invest on time part cause I like more to gamble and I didn`t know much about trading, and part is cause many threads in that time and comments from all kind of members new and reputable ones were suggesting that this icos are scam. I missed my chance back then, now I try to have alt-coins that have future in my opinion and to invest in some new icos. That is my experience!

NOW PAY ATTENTION PLEASE- EVERY NEXT PERSON SHOULD DO THE NEXT:

-First copy/paste my poll and give your vote, and my vote stays the same, or if you vote for same just wrote next number.
-Second give your opinion and describe your experience if you have any.
-Third and not necessary if you think that I make any mistake in my comment, or I`m wrong with something please correct me.

IS IT HARD?!?! EVERY NEXT PERSON THAT COMMENT THIS THREAD SHOULD FOLLOW ME!
I will come back to see what is happening, I don`t wish to threat with giving negative trust to all who just post to be paid without reading anything!!! But if I see some very stupid comment after mine I will do that.

Hello to everyone! For all this time here on forum, and now I`m a hero member, this is my first comment in meta section. I decided to open a new thread and to try to explain everything that I`m interested to know on one place. I think about some things for some time already, and in last few days of "cleaning forum", I shaped my thinking a little bit. All this made me to open this new topic.
The best way is to start with myself and my experience. I like to be sarcastic sometimes, you can see that in many of my posts, some people understand that some don`t, I say that cause I will be a bit sarcastic, I think I prove something with that to those who understand it in the right way. Let`s start from beginning.

*How many threads in bitcoin discussion section have headline: where did you hear first time about bitcoin? Count threads with headline that is just formulated in another way. Clear answer is too many!
-Friend told me about bitcoins, he gave me some basic explanation and he showed me how to open a wallet and couple faucets that he use, with explanation how can I use them. Everything else I learned on my own. My first mbtc`s from faucets went to casino. I started with 1 satoshi minimal bets, in casinos that have that minimal bet of course, in that time some casinos were expensive for me. I was active on many faucets, to not mention them all, many of them are dead now. When I wait for time to claim again I was constantly typing in google how to earn freebitcoin`s. To make this story a bit shorter, that is how I found out about bitcointalk, from here I learned many, many things, l would need days to wrote about all the things I learned here, about things I tried and experienced on this forum and with bitcoins generally.
So basically that is it! This is the last time that I speak about how I started and how I heard about bitcoins. Later I will explain why.
*How many similar threads we see everyday in every section of this forum? Some newbies come up constantly asking same questions over and over again, some other newbies comment them along with other high ranked members, like it`s the first time they see it, and that is going on and on.
*To go a little deeper and ask how many similar comments can be found here on forum? Can we give any answer on this question? Or it`s again too many?!

Now truth is that most of us are making comments in all this threads. Here I don`t wish to go in deep discussion about why people comment many nonsense`s and what they comment, that is a deep hole. People who are aware of how things work here knows about what is all about here. I don`t wish to discuss it, cause I wish to stay on track. Let`s not deal with what we did and how we did, and argue who is right and who is not, let`s see what is happening, and if its bad lets try to fix it.

Now we came on SMAS, couple of managers, forum moderators made SMAS and they have black list. I`m thinking that is something, they are fight against spam and people who comment something stupid or something copied just to be paid, at least someone is doing something.
Now that doesn`t touch me in a way of signature campaigns, but I wouldn`t like to be blacklisted. Do they give any kind of warning (or to address questions directly to them cause I hope some of them will try to answer on some of my questions). How can I know that I am not a spammer? Sometimes I really feel like I am. I am trying to be active on so many places, sometimes I read comments in some new/old topic and I can`t resist to correct someone and to add my own experience (that is just repeating myself, I know, but I feel like "they didn`t see first time, second time, that`s why I feel I`m a bit spammer). I think many of us here faces with same, to call it a problem, or confusions?

I`m now in fixed payment campaign, this situation when post number is going down cause of "cleaning forum" ( I call it like that ) doesn`t affect me much. But I wish to know more about what is happening, can someone give more elaborated answer about what is happening, why now, who is creator of this "cleaning", about criteria`s, and can we as members of this forum help in any way??

I wrote that this is the last time that I wrote about my introduction with bitcoin. Even thou I always tried to give unique and as much possible different comments (if some manager can take a look on my profile and give me honest opinion about my posts I will appreciate that very much) many times I saw myself as a spammer, I just went with a flaw ( I don`t wish this to sound as an excuse, it more honest explanation ).
I`m sick of repeating some facts, in some moments I feel like I wish to start criticize many bad things that I see. I don`t wish to be HYPOCRITE, first I know my flaws, I started with a little more then basic knowledge of English, I think I improved myself a lot in all this time, I am constantly learning, reading about so many things, everything is on English, I use different translators, I read about English when I don`t know how to say some things, here comes a little question am I a copy paste guy cause I stole many good sentences from other people? I read so much and I read about so many good things and I can`t wrote it better, that is how I`m learning some life facts and I use them in real life as I use them here.

I wrote a lot!!! I`m sure that many will not read all that I wrote, please just don`t pull something from context. I am open for every discussion in a peaceful way, tell me where I made a mistake, where I`m wrong...

I said that I shaped my thoughts in past few months and that works for many things, one of the things that I`m sure in is that we need to be open for everything and to be open for learning how to do things better. We improve ourselves every day in many different directions. Let`s be open to each other and let`s share our opinions. I gave some start, its maybe its too much for some people but I refuse to believe in too much, we can be open and share our experiences in better way, I believe that we can make better organization but that is not one man work, we all need to take a part!

Once again I don`t wish to be hypocrite, I`m earning from signature campaign and I wish to continue with that in the future, that is good source for income for me cause I use that money for bitcoin gambling, trading, and other bitcoin related things. I got a lot from my campaign and even more from using all that bitcoins and I know how much can mean bitcoins earned from campaigns, I know. One more question is can we make some system that will work for everyone, for newbies and people who earn from campaigns, for people who just wish to learn, to organize things better.

I will stop now, I need to force myself to stop cause I have so many ideas, so many plans, I said I can wrote for days about bitcoin and this forum and I really can, but I also wish to hear what is your opinion???
I saw some propositions in the past, I saw how some people react on that, can we unite? Most important is can we learn from each other, same like some of us do, but in some better way. If you see that I made some mistake in my English, correct me nicely and I will learn, don`t judge me or anyone. Simply can we agree what is good and what is bad and to try to work together and not independent?
I gave you so many things to think about it, let`s see what will happen and how many responses will I have? How many people will understand me and at least try to connect all what I said? How many people will try to work with me on any idea?

To be honest I didn't read nothing about bitcoin gold, I saw it will be at the end of October and that's it. I opened this topic to see what people think about bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold and your comment is most interesting. Is it possible that we will be able to mine bitcoin gold with GPU? I think this is very interesting, maybe bitcoin gold doesn't have bitmain as daddy but many people missed that time when mining bitcoin was possible with GPUs, including me, and now we will have a chance with bitcoin gold.
I admit that this is interesting and in already thinking can I do it, there are many people who will try this. This move can make things interesting, I will search more about this I'm very curious now.

I think that mathematic can't help you in winning in gambling. First game that comes to my mind is black jack, but its not about mathematic, its about your memory, you need to remember all cards that passed and by that you know what cards are left in deck and with that your chances to win are high. Beside black jack other games are combination of skill and luck, there you need to play with some strategies but sometimes they work sometimes not, there is no universal method for winning all the time in gambling.
I don't know what can mathematic do in gambling, and to do some mathematic you need time, maybe some program can help but I doubt in that.
Gamble for fun, discover your own strategy and have good time. Don't think that there is winning methods, you will constantly be disappointed in the end.

Everything is OK, just for designing one blockchain technology concept you need to know a lot about programing. I am trying to define my thoughts but its hard, to understand bitcoin you need to have basic knowledge about technology and economy, laws are different in every country and new laws are created every day so you need to know something about that too.
Every active person on this forum is bitcoin expert, just levels are different. For higher levels you need to have a lot of knowledge about everything on global level, to be able to follow everything that is connected with bitcoin in economy, technology and laws, to be able to connect all the dots.
On this forum for a year and something more I learned a lot about  new technologies, economy, crypto currencies. Every day I learn something new here, and for some people I'm bitcoin expert for sure.
