81  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buying Products Using Bitcoin - Videos on: October 25, 2017, 10:43:35 AM
Thanks for sharing.
I really like the first video of buying popcorn at the vending machine.
Seems like it is an old one, and now there are much more vending machines who are willing to accept bitcoins.
Anyway, if you want to buy something that you can not buy with bitcoins, you can always convert it into fiat and purchase it with fiat, and then buy back the bitcoin later, which is a great support to the bitcoin network.



Yap it was nice to see countries innovating bitcoin even in local scenes. But i think you should have your own app in your caountry that has that instant transaction. So i really would transfer all funds in the countries exchange site rather than any exchange site?. Because those kinds of services are what i am looking for if i ever want to travel to other countries to avoid hussle in converting 3 times.
82  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how control my emotion?? on: October 25, 2017, 10:28:39 AM
I am starting trading some month ago.Bought some alta coin but now all alta coin are down and i donot understad what can i do?I get a big lose if i sell this.So how control my mind ? Cry Cry

thars called have minimal risk in your investment just relax youself and do not panic focus your mind into how to resolve your problem emotion can;t help to your problem, i suggest with you buddy do not sell your coins wait for the right time to become valuable again the price value of your coins in the market, the reason of altcoin falling down because bitcoin keep increasing the focus of the investor to buy bitcoin as investment.

Yap their is nor instant profit for any investing. Op should just wait for the right time to sell his coins, or even convert it to other altcoins. It is not easy because how i convert is i turn it to eth then i use that eth to buy other altcoin. I do this instantly for the price not to change a bit. Because not all altcoin are really that attractive and sometimes the owners are the ones mining it and selling it in the market.
83  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where do Bitcoin poker players play and why? on: October 25, 2017, 10:19:23 AM
Now i left to play poker because i am a sports gambler. But when i was play it, in that time i have no won a single game of poker, may be i have very bad luck in poker, that's why i left it after a big lose. But only Betcoin.ag is the biggest poker room. You could see it. No doubt in it many gamblers like poker and poker become a famous game in bitcoin online gambling. 
of course betcoin.ag is the biggest and best-selling poker site that receives bitcoin as a means of payment,, and after that nitrogen may be the second choice., as both sites provide the best service for poker gamblers,. but I personally choose nitrogen as a place to play poker..

As a gambler i really don't play poker that often because i dont really see at as a gamble but as a sport. Sometimes it is boring to play raises with other players. Because most players want to play all in instead of being smart on the plays. It's like just removing the call button and always all in in the game. I am trying to check then here comes the big stack bully always going all in.
84  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin from $6000 to $5500 on: October 25, 2017, 09:41:18 AM
I think it will drop to below $5000. That said - it will come back up again within 4 to 6 weeks to record highs once more.

There is possiblity for price drop in bitcoin because of the hard fork.The bitcoin gold is separation from bitcoin so it cause a little price drop but the bitcoin will recover from it soon.I hope the price will go upto $ 7000 by end of this year.

Even if it drops, i dont think it will stay for that long. Because that is a bit normal for the stock market. It is not always that the price should increase, a little bit of decrease then more increase. Because in just an hour, the price can go up or below 100$. And it is hardfork so meaning their is new update on the software and miners must update theirfore their is a high chance that the price will increase.

If you choose a good ICO, investing can make you richer, but if not you can just lost your money. You should have some point that are significant for you in choosing ICO. About Idea i think you should have to things in your mined - Are people need this idea? Do I understand it? If you have two YES, goes to list how to understand that ICO isn't a Scam. my list - Team and it background, Timeline of projects a clearly and easily to understand, Have partnership with fonds or organizations, in WP there is information abt amount of money to each stage, Good support in social media, and good customer service in official resources. Due to this reasons I choose Confideal and waiting for start their ICO

Sometimes it is not easy to find a good ICO but if you really are accustomed in ico participation then it is much easier fo find legit or not. Because their are always releases almost everyday in the market and depending if they are mine-able or not they could increase in prices. Because even if they are released in the market they dont really standout until their are some investors who make a good news out of that coin.
86  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Daily bitcoin price by email? on: October 25, 2017, 09:15:34 AM
Is there any service that will send you a daily bitcoin price report? I want an in depth analysis sent to my email every 12-24 hours insteas of looking theoigh serveral websites to get an accurate price. Im wanting to pay for it

Why don’t you create a bot to do that for you?, you could create a bot that scrapes the data of coinmarketap.com, I think they even have an api so that would make things easier, you could make your bot scrape the data of all the coins you want every hour and you could take screen shots and then create a report every 24 hours that is not that hard to do.

Well i guess that is much a hard job than actually paying. I think their is an app called bitcoinkan or something in the early days where it really gives real time update on prices and event recent news regarding bitcoin. I lost the phone i have downloaded it  i can't find it today. It was a great app and it really helps for lazy people like me who gets tired of visiting sites just to find news about bitcoin.
87  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Turning crypto into fiat or is that even nessesary anymore! on: October 25, 2017, 08:27:37 AM
On our country, it is more convinient when you have a fiat than crypto. My crypto earnings are converted into fiat to become usefull. Crypto currencies are not existed on our local market and you will need to convert it into fiat with some charges and that is the way i hated. Instead of using crypto hand on hand, i will obliged to pay charges on my own money to convert it. It is more economical if we have a fiat to fiat / crypto to crypto exchange.

Like you said if we convert cryptos into fiat currency it is more convenient to use it on local market to buy what we needed.This is because in many place no good internet which is important for crypto transaction and still many people don't know what is bitcoin.At present it is much needed to convert crypto earnings in to fiat to make it useful which includes many costs.But in future i think it is not needed because all people will start to accept crypto.
This is a valid reason as well don't have the facility anywhere to directly buy goods from cryptocurrency. Even if we get this facility anywhere still in my opinion converting crypto into fiat is more convenient for domestic shopping. On each crypto transaction we are charged with a transaction fee so, if there are different places where we shop from in a day we will have to pay the transaction fee for each one separately. Paying with fiat is more convenient inorder this regard. I feel the better way for small payments is fiat.

I see that their are already places acknowledging btc as a from of payment. But for us, it is hardly in the topic of any local markets if they are gonna accept it. I see some banners saying "bitcoin available here" but when i ask them, they have no idea what that it. It seems that it was just random banner given to them. I think it if better to pay iwht fiat because of the easy transaction rather than waiting for confirmation with just even 1 dollar item.
88  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Gold is Forking Off on: October 25, 2017, 08:21:00 AM
I can not wait for bitcoin gold, will it be better than bitcoin cash or BCC? but I'm sure bitcoin is the main choice although it will appear bitcoin gold.
Bitcoin Gold is clearly trash from their "Secret" Lead developer along with the mining of BTG coins. That is pure BS. They just want to Pump the coin and dump their pre mines, with that they can be rich and scam the BTG investors. Be aware.

I think the purpose of hardfork is not just to split but to update new softwares. Or even throw some old blocks that was mined. And it's too early to judge btg gold if it is scam or not. Miners and devs have risked things for the hardfork. It is not just easy to announce it as scam. It is in each user to face the risk in acquiring btg. Im sure most are already if its scam or not. And for me it is good to have invested btg gold in a wallet if i can acquire free btg. Scam or not its my fault.
89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happen if bitcoin build a headquarter bank on: October 25, 2017, 07:19:38 AM
Regarding to the topic,
If bitcoin build a headquarter bank, then the identity of bitcoin will not be the same as it is right now.
It will surely be implemented of having tax of bitcoin into its respective place where the HQ is built.
We all know that nobody owns bitcoin, (correct me if I'm wrong).
Maybe it is possible that there will be a bank supported by bitcoin payments.
Well as for as my opinion is concern so I think if bitcoin make headquarter bank so I think bitcoin can be increase with high price investors, traders and other people can be very high as well and it will be more easy for all investors to keep their bitcoins with them which will be more secure and I think that bank can also provide them some extra services like credit or debit cards.
As bitcoin is a decentralized currency therefore i do not think that such an attempt may be in favour of bitcoin. Bitcoin is the best crypto currency of the world because of decentralization property. If it will become centralize then i do not think that it will continue its present status in a good way. I think it is too much important for bitcoin to continue as decentralized and anonymous currency.

Yap and it is very hard to store it in one place. Seeing as most has anonymity, it is also hard to track down who ever has the bitcoin. It kind of defeats the purpose if they will become a bank. I kind agree with how it has gotten today, without interventions of any government entities. Because once it is in the grasp of government many transactions would be deemed illegal and a lot of services would be apprehended.
90  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Legal to gamble with Bitcoin in the US? on: October 25, 2017, 06:25:59 AM
To gamble with valuable things at an US based gambling site is only legal if the site has an US license. Best example is SWCPoker who was based in the US but had no license there.

If a player lives in the US but send bitcoin abroad to gamble, there is literally no way for US authorities to control this.

I dont even think if all US citizens are gambling in US based sites. Because as a gambler, most are trying any gamble sites that suits them. I for one do not really check if is it in the US or not but as long as i like the style then its ok form me. But i guess their are also sites that we're taken down for lacking a valid license or expired license. But for me i prefer gambling in sites outside the US to not be tracked if ever the site is tracked.
91  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Campaign does not pay on: October 24, 2017, 09:49:14 AM
Hello! I just want to ask a simple question that what if the campaign does not pay their applicants? Well I know someone that was not paid by his campaign here, incase this thing happen to me too what should I do? Any advice?

it happen sometimes but the main reason why they didn't pay is that you didn't follow the rules of you did not meet the qualifying quota of the task assigned to you, it happened to me lately, about my twitter campaign for almost 1 month of twitter campaign , i receive nothing just because of the single character of "#" instead of "@" during registration and i was overlooked for that, and the rule was strict that it can't be undone once the token was distributed, lesson learned, always be mindful of all the rules that might cost you all the hardwork.

Yap it is in the discretion of the manager if a user would be paid or not. Usually for breaking the rules but their are really their users who are not payed accidentally and they just prove something to the manager and as possible it would be solved in simple matters. But if for some reason a campaign does not pay, they are entitled to be hotsitted by the forum with the integrity of their ICO or token.
92  Economy / Economics / Re: Why economists say Bitcoin a bubble on: October 24, 2017, 09:36:37 AM
Nobody wanted to buy BTC when it was trading at 200 USD over 2 years ago and it was the SAME technology as it is today  Cheesy Now surprisingly people say its undervalued at 6k USD.

Remember that price goes up bot because it's a great technology buy because there is a demand (fomo) and big holders aren't dumping. As soon as some 100k+ holders will decide to cash out you will see BTC dumping to 1-1.5k USD.

Moreover BTC mining is very inefficient and consumes more and more energy plus with the rising price the cost of transaction is skyrocketing making BTC completely useless as a medium of exchange.

I think it is becoming popular because of how it is mined. Because earlier, it is time consuming and electricity burden. But more and more technology are being developed toreduce such certain problems. Now it us becoming more easy, people tend to regret it not either mining or buying btc in the early days. As many miners are being attracted the higher its value is increasing.
93  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you make money from ICO? on: October 24, 2017, 09:08:32 AM
Yes because there are alot ICO that appears and me i am just joining and joining campaigns, and about too many canpaigns that i have joined, i have collected many coins and other crypto and also it came from ico's. And just think of how many ico that appears every month, year and every week so thats why i have make money from ico

And depending on how much was the release, that will be the basis of the profit earned for campaigning their ICO. Im guessing not all campaigns are successful but also it is fulfilling to sell the Coins once they are released in the market. It maybe long term but at least it is a good profit. Depending on how much budget was allotted for the campaign is i think the basis for how long a campaign lasts.
94  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC--->USD day trading possible? on: October 24, 2017, 08:49:44 AM
Have you tried using Bitstamp? For starters, they charge 0.25% on every successful trades and this is subject to change as your account gets verified. So at the current market rates, that would be $15/1 BTC successful trade. You can also try Kraken and Poloniex if you think Stamp wouldn't cut the chase. Just be ready on verification of your identity so you can trade easily.
Bitstamp one of my favorite exchange , they are the oldest one too , no doubt about how good the service.
Coinbase is indeed sucks when it comes to taking fee , they are bunch of greedy people.
Just avoid to use poloniex especially when you planning to trade with big amount , my withdrawal pending for long time a lot of times.

I think coinbase just hasnt updated the fee since the price is increasing. But also become their problem. Most users also who had old accounts on some exchange sites needed to verify their accounts like me. I forgot my account and the info's i used was the legit ones. And i was shocked when i access to withdraw some old funds that needed verification which i already used in my new account.
95  Economy / Marketplace / Re: List of places to buy firearms for bitcoin on: October 24, 2017, 05:25:06 AM
Oh my i didn't know that there are sites that sell firearms i thought this is only accessible in the deepweb and darkwebs ive never expected that this is also accessible and available in the surface web. The only question is if this sites are legit have they even have customers that have succesfully received their products. Have you personally bought in this site ? do they do global shipping ? im just curious cause it might be just a scam to steal money after all governments would surely shutdown this sites if they found out.

I assume those are licensed shop because as far as i know, btc is not yet regulated and it will be hard for shipping if a certain country does not allow btc transaction. Because i would also want to buy everything via btc but the problem is shipping. It's gonna take days to arrive and sometimes if it arrives it was not the one i initially bought. I don't think those are scams but rather services that needs a lot of legal papers before they can proceed.
96  Economy / Speculation / Re: everyone says Bitcoin will tank after Gold fork. What if it's opposite? on: October 24, 2017, 04:31:55 AM
well if you look at the bitcoin price you can see that bitcoin price did indeed "tank" after the bitcoin gold "snapshot of bitcoin blockchain". but the things to remember is that these "tanks" are never as big as everyone says. it was just a small one (about 8%) and that was it. we are still at a very decent price.

in fact drops like these are good to buy more bitcoin and make some profit. you sell on top before the BTG fork and then wait 2 days to see it through and buy back more bitcoin that you have sold.

It could also be a good strategy seeing now the price is still low before the activation of btc gold. Most traders are now finding and storing btc to a good wallet or exchange site to preserve their bitcoin for the new bitcoin gold. Indeed the price might just 8% but that is already a good price profit for traders. It is not even easy to predict if the price will go any lower but it is better to buy now than later.
97  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How to get accepted to signature campaign? on: October 24, 2017, 04:19:08 AM
Isn't "Legal" one of the "good" boards? It is under the main Bitcoin Discussion board and directly related to Bitcoin? I thought that the excluded boards were the off-topic ones?

It's a good board but signature campaign managers does have their own preferences. Most of the campaign's are counting any post from that board but they do prefer to see their participants to post on different boards because signature should be visible all over the forum so the advertising for the company you are enrolled with shall be effective. And not only the off-topic boards/sections are the ones that mostly excluded, don't forget about the investor-based games and games and rounds boards.

And as a company, you really don't want your product to just be in one place. To advertise is to at least spread the product, so it kind of defeat the purpose of campaigning. The areas that managers are not allowing are blocked because it is too common and most investors or anyone who is finding a good altcoin  do not really go in those threads and mostly they are found in some bitcoin related topics.
98  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Interesting Case: Sell Bitcoins, Bank Account Blocked on: October 24, 2017, 04:04:53 AM
For large amounts or amounts that are out of the usual pattern of your account banks tend to treat this as suspicious and like to know where the amount came from, they need to make sure they are doing their best to counter fraud and so on but there does seem to be an issue with bitcoin transactions, this isn't the first time I have heard stories of accounts being closed due to bitcoin transactions.

I think it was just not recognized by the HSBC program as to where the money came from. Because it automatically assumed fraudulent. But still it has legal transaction record. I think it is really hard for now to make transaction from bitcoin if it is not recognized by banking programs, even if government allows it, it is not easy for banks to partner with bitcoin services. I hope their would be no more issues even if banks require more identity authorization, its ok for me as long as transaction with go smooth.
99  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who came up with the idea of Airdropping? on: October 24, 2017, 03:01:36 AM
I guess this is just designed to attract investors. Because off competition, it is not really easy to users by just mere advertising, some offer free coins in exchange of users depositing their money, the higher the deposit the higher the free token. But often than that, their are users who would acquire many airdrop from different coins, but also it is not easy for those tokens to be released in the market.
100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: October 23, 2017, 08:57:35 AM
Have you seen the game, Thunder vs Timberwolves today? That was a great game, the Thunder were down big but they manage to get back on the game but they came up short because Wiggins is too lucky to hit a game winner. The Thunder are already in the 2nd consecutive loss now and I understand because they are on a back to back game.

Next game will be on 10/26/17 and that is against the Pacers, they will have a good rest figure out what they did wrong and for sure it will be a dominant performance.

Well it's just too early in the season to say if any team are weak or just having no good chemistry. Plus their a lot of injury just in the 1st week of the season. Many wasted contracts. OKC and wolves are actually one of the healthiest teams because most of their star player are in good condition. I hope their are no injuries for other teams because their will be more reason if some certain team loses without their best player.
