Yes you should believe in bitcoin because bitcoin increasing its price too much faster and i think bitcoin much more stronger and safe currency than other currency and there is a lot of people investing their money in bitcoin because they know that bitcoin is very profitable currency and it will give us a big profit in the future so you should strongly believe in bitcoin.
Indeed mate. I also believe in bitcoins.. yes there are ups and downs when it comes to pricing but it's still good for investment especially in the long run. you just have to be careful where to put your bitcoin with or where to invest it in.
562  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can not replace fiat on: January 25, 2017, 06:57:53 PM
Fiat cannot be replaced by bitcoin. Even in developed countries like US, people are not totally converted to digital transactions and fiat is used still.Most people in developing countries dont even have a bank account. They dont know how to use a credit or debit card.Indian government tried to convert people to digital transactions by demolishing high value notes and people suffer a lot there. So fiat cannot be replaced, but bitcoin may become as a secondary payment option.

I agree and most likely that is whats going to happen here. For me bitcoin can't survive by itself at this time without fiat conversion. Most btc transactions are still converted to fiat. People are so used and reliant to this main currency that it would take i think more than a few decades before bitcoin could even compete with fiat in supremacy. Though as you've said it would be very beneficial if it could be a secondary option much like how we use credit and debit cards today
Many users convert Bitcoin to Fiat because they have no other options to spend their money. If you ask these users what they would prefer, most would probably say that they would like to use Bitcoin to pay the daily expenses. Some users say that Bitcoin is unstable, and this is true to a certain degree, yet many people prefer to store value in Bitcoin than in Fiat currency, especially in countries where the local currency is very unstable

I'm not sure of that

In fact, I'm very dubious that people would actually want to pay with bitcoins for their daily expenses unless they wanted to show off (which is not a good idea either). Folks may have to convert Bitcoin to fiat having "no other options to spend their money" if they literally had no other option, for example, if they had no fiat in their pockets. If you ask me, spending precious bitcoins on trivial things is a downright stupid idea since Bitcoin is a much better vehicle for speculation than fiat as well as a store of value

I agree with you mate. some people don't really use bitcoins as a mode of payment or use as for their daily expenses4.. they would still prefer to convert their bitcoins into cash so they can use it in stores or groceries. That's what I always do.

Saving is the key to success.. if you can't save enough money it's impossible for you to create side line business or make any investment. Once you saved money we can make a lot of options for investment and that's the way you can make more money in the future.
564  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Paypal a scam? on: January 25, 2017, 06:45:26 PM
i do not think that paypal is scam because we know that paypal is a biggest service and paypal was very famous before bitcoin and now a lot of people are using bitcoin for online shopping because bitcoin is more available in everywhere than paypal for online shopping .

I agree even if there are some issues with paypal but it still remains a good foundation in the business world. Issues or problems with subscribers are normal and it's part of their business to fix or resolve their issues with their customers.
565  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: January 25, 2017, 06:40:59 PM
i hope so that bitcoin will replace dollar sooner because bitcoin adoption increasing day by day too much faster and you can that maximum business company are also adopting the bitcoin for their business and we can say that bitcoin is getting more popularity in all whole world .
Even if it's getting even more popular and worldwide used it is still impossible for bitcoin to replace dollar soon or even in the future. There are so many things we need to consider in order to replace dollar.
566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: January 22, 2017, 10:07:38 PM
Then it will not be a problem to gamble if money will not be a problem. You can see a number of rich gamblers in casinos they have their income sources as their business but they still gamble with some of their money and they gamble for their fun.

Or maybe to kill boredom Cheesy
What I can say is they have a very expensive way of killing boredom, that's how rich does, they work to make themselves rich so they have the right to waste it and we might be seeing them as they are wasting but we do not know how valuable the entertainment factor they were able to get from gambling.

Yeah I wish I'm rich too so I won't have a doubt on betting my money when I gamble. Just like some rich people waste their money on some leisures.
567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: January 22, 2017, 10:02:29 PM
well I think it was just insane to use others money to gamble and hope it will be used to pay for debts, It was really depressing if you already lost your own money but if you lose someone else money It will be too depressing that you might even think to commit suicide better spent it on something more profitable than gambling
That's really quite stressful. Using someone's money just to pleasure yourself in gambling won't do any good. This will make your life miserable especially if you lose this money might hang yourself in the ceiling. Just kidding.
568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where and which part of day do you gamble? on: January 22, 2017, 08:13:32 PM
I only gamble from home at night when it is all quite and I can focus. It can get stressful. Sometimes I go out to a casino . it is nice to be out at night with all the lights and stuff to do and see and eat and drink. I gamble on my pc much later then that. Maybe midnight.
I also play the same.. always at night. It's peaceful and you are focus on a game where you  can decide good and win sometimes. I can't do that right now since my newborn baby came. But will gladly to do it again when he grow up a little bit.
569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: has any casino ever been hacked losing a lot of money? on: January 22, 2017, 08:08:30 PM
i do not hear any of casino has been hacked so far but i don't know for the real, and i am sure that the casino will be secure their sites and they don't want to get hacked and maybe they will rented some security advisor to secure their sites.
For casinos in real world there's no way for you to hacked them. Only seen it in movies. But thru online there are some casino sites that got closed because the bankrolls has been hacked I think that was last year. Everything is possible in net world so that's why hackers take advantage of it.
570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How did you started to gamble? What was your beginning like? on: January 22, 2017, 07:56:11 PM
My gf asked me to go on a date in a casino because she also don't also have experience with it. So I agree and we decided to go and try our luck in slot machines.. we won a little and play a long since the excitement is there and a feeling of a little greedy LOL. We ended up losing Cheesy but still happy on that day.
571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What type of sports you love in sports betting and why? on: January 22, 2017, 07:50:48 PM
I really love Basketball that's why this is the only sports that I bet with using bitcoins or even in real world. I never say that I always wins but the percentage of winning is really high and I think in gambling games this is where I always have the advantage.
572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: January 22, 2017, 07:46:27 PM

Don't call them as people that doesn't have intelligence. They are just deceived with their own feelings with gambling and makes them think that it is  faster way of earning money. But for us who have experience with gambling and we won for sometime and we lost a lot. Of course we know how gambling really works and we won't fall for it anymore.

It is quite fair for some people to think like that, there are actually several ways to get money from gamling is just know how to play smartly however in the end nothing beats investing assuming that nothing happened to your investment, everything goes smoothly as usual without you having to worry about

Yes there are a lot of ways to earn with gambling but playing smartly doesn't mean that there are sure ways of earning with it. Even the smartest ones are also experiencing loss when it comes to gambling. We really do have different perspective and ideas when it comes to things but as long as you think that it can benefit you whether it is with gambling or investing, just prove it.

I totally agree with you mate. Playing smart in gambling means that you just control the amount of bets that you use for playing so that why when you lose it's not totally a big deal since your using minimum amount of bets. That's why it doesn't guaranteed you to win.
573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: January 22, 2017, 07:41:58 PM
I never take gambling as the main source of income as it's the biggest mistake one would commit. Still, if I accidentally get any of my high-odds bets turned green, I get my kids what they want, but earlier. That's the difference it makes whenever I win on something.

What a very thoughtful dad to his kids. I will do almost the same thing with you with my winnings then, but since I'm not married and don't have kids. I'm going to treat my parents and my siblings to the restaurants that they haven't eaten and also will buy the things that they need and want to have. As long as I have enough winnings by that time.

Sounds like a very good plan mate. I will rent a resort and invite all my friend and relatives. Then treat them with good food. Then will get drunk for a whole day. Then come back to gambling and win another game Smiley
574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: January 22, 2017, 07:35:56 PM
Yes we must think of our loved one's because they're be affected if something happened through gambling like addiction. So you should quit for good so that you can give full time to them in work and in family.
I agree mate. But this would only work for some that can think and decide easily to quit gambling for good. But for those whose deeply involved in gambling and already loss a huge amount of money they think in a different way.. we can advise them to think of their loved ones but they will still gamble.
575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling get you into Bitcoin or did Bitcoin get you into gambling? on: January 22, 2017, 07:31:25 PM
I think Bitcoin get me more into gambling. I already gamble in real world but when Bitcoin introduces to me I never thought that there are online casinos available using your bitcoins.. I just discovered a little bit lately when I explore the world of bitcoin.
576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: January 22, 2017, 07:16:27 PM
This can be a very tricky question to answer.
Yes and no with gambling you have some idea what your up against.
In trading well it can be emotionally driven or be powered by speculative investment in things.
Which if they get scared well you could lose a lot of money ive seen it happen many times.

Well it can be said easily with, it depends on the person who is trading.  If the person is trading blindly, meaning that person does not have any knowledge about trading at all then it is considered as gamble.  He is betting on his luck in buying random stocks and wish it increase in price.
that is true we can call it gambling if you are totally depending on your luck, and you do not have knowlege and experience in trading.
That's why it's really important to have a knowledge and learn trading in a proper way otherwise your luck might change and make you in trading in the long run.
577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: January 20, 2017, 07:27:44 PM
The worst mistake I have done is investing my bitcoins on doubler sites even I know I would be scammed. Sometimes taking the risk is bad because you already know the possibilities  and still you let yourself follow to earn big money without any effort which is not good.

That's why investing BTC in casino sites is not recommended if you ask me. Because you can't really tell if the site is scam or legit and even if it's legit the assurance of making a profit from it is very minimal better to invest your btc by doing trading. Both have risks but in trading risks is lesser if you know how it works.
578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many money did you spent in gambling in a day? on: January 20, 2017, 07:17:09 PM
I don't have a limit spent in gambling but i can gamble large amount of betting small amount is enough for me i think around 0.03-0.05 btc this amount is  enough.. and i just gamble in sports betting and i am not gamble in other game.. unless if there are some promotion..
i believe you have a limit in gambling at first time, but then everything uncontolled . and you just say you have no limit spending money in gambling it could be mean you are addicted already, you can lost everything if so.

sportsbetting only works for those people who love sports and have knowledge enough.
Nope, some people will bet based on experts knowledge. But if you want to make a profit from sports betting better should have more knowledge on all sports and yes if you watch the games means you will get more new ideas about sports. And it will help you while placing your bets on sports.
It really depends on person's interest on which game do they play when they gamble. I also prefer to gamble in sports betting since I'm into sport and know how to analyze and predict the game result in a match. I'm not saying that I always win but the percentage of winning is much higher than losing.

579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lost $25,000 AUD in one fucking day on: January 20, 2017, 07:12:30 PM
This is a huge loss mate.. Feels like been struck by a thunder if this happens to me. Why gamble such amount? you can buy a lot of things with this mate. I won't gamble with this money and I would prefer to buy more important things.
580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I never made any profits in dice game.. whats is your opinion on: January 20, 2017, 06:58:26 PM
OP you are not the only one that have not made profit in dice game I am sure quite a number of people are in the same shoes but at the same time quite a number of people have made some winnings as well so we cannot not conclude its always the fault of the sites as some of them have even a mechanisms for provably fair system. So I guess its all about luck and chance that makes it that way and nothing else even though there could be element of human factor.
Indeed mate. We can't really make any profits in gambling especially in dice game because we can't manipulate the outcome of the game so that's why it's not a guarantee win. Most all gambling games are based on pure luck for you to win so it's not good if you're goal is to invest in it.
