I don't think that everyone will be looser's in the long run since it is not that all will be unlucky so as not to even have a single win.  Which means that there is a possibility that somehow someone will be able to get that lucky chance of winning and not even one time but two or more.  Thus it could not be everyone but could be almost everyone.

I dont think USD can dominate bitcoin trading online.Tho bitcoin can be obtained using your usd currency bitcoin has it own network and development and usd has its own too and besides it is different people who controls that two currency.Bitcoins controls most of all crypto coins online now and bitcoin trading is just for bitcoin and cannot be dominated by usd


I get what you mean. For the crypto currency's bitcoin is really the dominant one. But what I was trying to know if will the US Dollar dominate the trading of bitcoins over the Yuan, the Euro and other currencies?  So what do you use for trading bulk bitcoins?  Bitcoins?
43  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: June 08, 2016, 06:46:15 AM
it is quite difficult and requires time, or you can do it slowly. is supposed, if you do every day have a bad result, it can make you become bored and you eventually stop.

That's not what I think could happen if you get bored while gambling. Gamblers always want a thrill, so probably they would try something new or increase their bets after having a bad day in the gambling site, quitting gambling won't happen naturally, you need atleast to try to resist it from time to time til you get used to it that you are not almost visiting gambling sites.

Don't punish us, haha just kidding.  It is also true that thru resisting with strict self compliance it will be possible to quit gambling for good.  But with the proper guidance of another respected known person.
44  Economy / Economics / Re: Are electric cars bad for the oil industry? on: June 08, 2016, 06:36:53 AM
Oil is not renewable, one day it will be gone. In some areas oil reserves have depleted and some oil wells are already abandoned because oil is already  taken out. Switching to electric cars or vehicles is likely the direction that we all will do in the future but for now since there's enough oil for the world to consume we have to stay with driving our cars with fuel oil. Iran has been sending out oil like crazy because they we're not allowed to sell oil for a few years and that's the reason why oil price dropped to it's lowest level.


I can agree with that when oil will run out but still from the start of oil drilling in the middle east up to the present they are not slightly above the median level since they had already stopped the development of powerful machinery's instead they used the natural way and the old machinery's extracting it and it is successful thus decreasing the cost for new expensive technos to be made. And the whole drilling span of time is just around 60 years? So 60 years more is a way to go not including the trapped natural gasses that they have.  
45  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: June 08, 2016, 06:03:26 AM
I first got bitcoin from withdrawing from gambling sites.  I deposited with another method but could withdraw bitcoin so i did it.  Around that time bitcoin was around $220 usd or so and when i got it, i would then trade it for poker funds from other person etc because I didn't want to hold the bitcoins due to reading about price fluctuations.  However, isn't the value of bitcoin almost always going to go up so its best to hold it?  I know last year it was $600 and the highest was when it was more than $1000 per bitcoin.  But since it is all the way down to $200-$300, isn't having bitcoin always good?  Could bitcoin go all the way to 0 soon?  I had thought hey if you get bitcoin when its $230 when the price stayed like that for a long time, thats great b/c very hard for it to go below $200 because i haven't seen that.  But even if it does, isn't it almost always going to rebound and go back up?  Last time i had btc and it was $230 or so and now it went up to $260.  So if you have say 100 bitcoins... well... thats a nice $3000 profit or so.


I'm sure there are ppl that have thousands or bitcoins right and just hold on to it?  And many that would sell btc immediately if prices go all the way up?  If someone had say 500 bitcoin... then btc price went up $20 in say a week or so... selling it would net them $10000 minus fees right?  However if they sell it via localbitcoins or other method, they are going to get a higher profit right?  However if they do this, say sold all their 500 btc... then once bitcoin later in the year go up another $50... well that would be $25000 less they would have earned.



In general, isn't holding BTC always a good thing since the price of it is pretty low now?  Obviously if you bought btc at $600 or $1000 and thought it would went up and held on to your btc, that would been a disaster.  But since its in the $200-$300 range, isn't having BTC always good?

well it is even better to buy bitcoins now and hold them when they are cheap, as you can buy them now for very small price and sell them later for more, so it's good

and even if price would be large i think it would still be very good way to earn money as if you will sell at correct time you will get lots of money, this is great way to earn

Its good but I consider the price right now as pretty high due to this fact I think holding the bitcoin is way better right now but buying is also recommend although its pretty high now compared with the last months.


One way or the other what ever suits your capability in applying ways in utilizing your bitcoin as long as you fully understand the whole terms within the selected way to do it you can definitely proceed with it.
46  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Currency on: June 08, 2016, 05:55:01 AM
Bitcoin is indeed a global currency, and what is lacking is the number of users that is needed to support its global claim.  It is far more better than any automated financial addressing system used nowadays.  So to go globally bitcoin has to be recognized by even a fraction in the majority of individuals using the current technology.  At least a fraction of that will be a lot.
47  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Brazil has more than 150 stores that accept bitcoin on: June 08, 2016, 04:56:09 AM
150 stores is a lot if you ask me and I think that we can easily increase this number if the bitcoin will get more popular.
You can also see that other country's are also upcoming, as a example the Netherlands.

I guess it is not just 150 stores only, is there someone can give a link of how many stores already accepts bitcoin in a Brazil?
Or any brazilian there that can give a fact of it.
Not just Netherlands is going to accept bitcoins also the Philippines.


The Asia pacific region is a booming bitcoin region with most of its countries citizens utilizing bitcoins in different modes of investments.  It is a huge success for that region.  And hoping that in the near future governments in that region will facilitate our needs by using the bitcoin.
48  Economy / Economics / Re: What if US Dollar Crashes? on: June 08, 2016, 04:47:50 AM
The US Dollar will never crash as long as it controls the crude oil industry the biggest and most demand natural resource these days, almost all technologies invented and used today depends on crude oil and if your country will try to trade oil in different currency then that one is gonna crash.
49  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: LUCK!!! :) How does it feels? on: June 08, 2016, 04:31:40 AM
I don't know how it can be expressed, but its an awesome feel where the reality mismatches and gives a big change. At the same when this change provides you big profit the happiness felt is the the luck.


Really there is so much there that you cannot even express it in terms of happiness, it is really an awesome feeling like it is not the first time but it is for sure nothing like the first time feeling.  It could not be expressed
50  Economy / Economics / Re: Are electric cars bad for the oil industry? on: June 08, 2016, 04:24:59 AM
Even the popularity of electric cars is going to be on the trend. Still gasoline or oil will always be oil. They are not just being use for cars, and I think
they will still be used by electric cars as it won't be completely operated by electricity.
Some how it's other parts needed oil for its maintenance.
Don't forget that there's also politics behind it. There are numerous scientists out there who discovered a way to run car's using water, how come it did not go main stream? the government did not support it. In the Philippines, 1 scientist proved that it can be done and showed it to the Government, after a few weeks or months that guy died for unknown reason.


Opec has invested much in terms of crude oils concerns, developments and utilization backed by the big top country's that develops and invents technology powered by fossilized fuels.  They did invested in these using huge amount adding up also their huge debts to finance it.  They are still in the process of finding ways to upgrade of what they have started.  And they need to make upgrade cycle by selling the old tech to finance a study for a new tech.  And they are seriously focused on that big investments.  So they don't want to have competitors of a same thing powered by another source to have a share in the market.  They will keep and develop your ideas but will never bring it to the market.

What is the most useful strategy in trading?

Your question is too generic, and you`ll just get a loaded of different generic answers ranging from look at the charts, blah blah blah.

Or you`ll have people spitting out nonsense on its all about TA or some other bologne.

If you want to get serious into something, you gotta get dirty and do your own homework and observe whats going on this forum.

And your approach of not thinking the same as most people, cause to me trading is not just an exchange. Its anything thats bought or sold for bitcoin/fiat.


And also there are different ways to interpret your question.  That is why for points of view given by individuals here are mostly different from the other thus making you to make choices, confusing choices.
52  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: June 08, 2016, 04:01:16 AM
If you have a good discipline in investments you can start small in investing for your retirement.  Put bitcoins bit by bit into a certain wallet and sell it after the halving.  If you believe in the sky rocketing value of bitcoin in every halving cycle then go for it.
53  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Brazil has more than 150 stores that accept bitcoin on: June 08, 2016, 03:50:23 AM
150 stores is a lot if you ask me and I think that we can easily increase this number if the bitcoin will get more popular.
You can also see that other country's are also upcoming, as a example the Netherlands.


And what I see now is the fast circulation of bitcoins in these region not only because of the trading system but also for the sports that we love most.  Football betting time is up and don't even think of just watching the game.
54  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: June 08, 2016, 03:45:51 AM
Iannone are penalized for the crash with Lorenzo, started in the last position in the next gp.
now is a very dangerous driver, later the first gp with accident with his friend of team Dovizioso i think iannone not have more chance to continue in big team the next year

It was an accident and I dont see why he should be penalized with that. Accidents happen in a race and it was unfortunate for lorenzo to be the victim, it seems to me that this is a bad decision afterall. Lorenzo might be confronting and provoking for Iannone to be penalized, no doubt with that as he had done that to rossi as well


It was a high risk stupidity accident and looks like he does not know how to race defensively.  Or is someone behind that accident.  Could be intentionally.
55  Economy / Economics / Re: Sell Everything? on: June 08, 2016, 03:37:38 AM
Selling everything for what purpose it may serve will be quite good as long as it is beneficial to the ones concerned.  If the purpose of selling is to extend the investments reach or gain more profits it will be very progressive if you put the uncertainty to minimal percentage.  But if it is like a campaign then it just's need numbers adding you up into the strength.
56  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin better or paypal? on: June 08, 2016, 03:21:41 AM
Bitcoin has perks for merchants, not for buyers - obviously since if there was a fraud or faulty product on what they get youre screwed.

Vs having paypal, any faulty product can lead to a charge back which saves their money from false purchases.

You are right about the dispute system its a very nice system but paypal can be hacked easier at first sight and the fact is that its not anonymous plus not really controllable by yourself..

Are you for real? How come the operations is still on going if Paypal can be hacked easier?

Also didn't you get the point why the hell they want their clients information?

Study first before posting non basis post here.

Dude, I think paypal is easier to hack if you ask me, the fact is that its only protected by a username and password, I think that is already saying enough...


Yes it is true.  That is why we are promoting bitcoin because it is more better to have transactions done using bitcoin and its technology making it more easier and more secure than the other.
57  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? on: June 08, 2016, 03:18:15 AM
Make a good presentation about bitcoin and how it works. Include the current list of businesses or company that is using bitcoin as a payment method. Engage them in a definite example of receiving and sending bitcoins to one address to another. Last but not the least is to tell them that accepting bitcoin as MOP will surely result in increase of sales.

A compilation of ideas presented in this thread will give you a formatted sequence in presenting bitcoin as a whole.  And it is better if you can do the editing so as to make everything presented in proper order.
58  Economy / Economics / Re: How would you double $100,000 safely? on: June 08, 2016, 03:12:26 AM
A 100 thousand dollars would be a huge kick start if you will invest using bitcoins.  For small trading groups they could sell a $100k worth of bitcoins in a week and they do the trading cycle every week making a fat profit every month.  Thus you need a team to keep the trading cycle moving and keeping a strict monitoring on the trading sequence and the trading status in general.
59  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: LUCK!!! :) How does it feels? on: June 07, 2016, 04:12:31 PM
If you are lucky in gambling you have to be really happy and that is because it will be not that easy to win some money with gambling and that is kind of rare.
In the most cases there are a lot of people that is losing more money than they win so that is the baddest thing that can happen.

Yep, the chances of winning on gambling is lower compared to being lucky on some other things (like picking up a dollar in a street). There are really those people who are very lucky to win continuously on gambling games and because of that, other people imitate their ways of living (and playing) hoping for a quick win against the house.


Really, sometimes something's happen in such a manner not similar to the other and that is why luck strikes in different time with longer unequal intervals for some and for some it comes successively.
60  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you actively spend your bitcoins? on: June 07, 2016, 04:02:59 PM
Not really spending bitcoins intended for my investments.  Most of these bitcoins will remain as for the investments I am currently in with.  And what I spend comes from profits intended for spending on what ever I may want to purchase with it.
