Its very unfortunate that globalisation comes with its own ills and that have even add to the soci-economjc problem we have today. Although, you cannot control what people post online because not all of us have the same moral attachment to several issues but you can as well control what you receive to a large extent. I have had to defriend a friend on Facebook and ban him because he is always fond of adding me to useless group at the same time I have deletes so many groups that are not adding value. We can not stop them, but we can control the flow to us.

It was kind of funny reading this from a poker site regarding the worlds luckiest countries.
They have this kind of methology on how did they arrived on the conclusion.
If you will notice, Top 5 are the those 1st world country and the rest specially
the bottom 5 3rd world.

Here's the top 5 (out of 22). Just look at were your country at and you will
be the judge  Smiley

1. UK
2 USA
3. Italy
4. France
5. Japan.

Here's the link:https://www.888poker.com/infographic/luckiest-countries/
Enjoy  Grin

I will say their ranking is just based on the total number of participants they believe are coming from those countries they listed. It will not surprise me to believe that majority of their players might even be from the least lucky states but are using proxy to access their sites and the likes. And it could also could be that its where the popularity of the sites survey are based among other factors...
1443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are dice sites reliable? on: March 06, 2017, 05:20:58 PM
In my own opinion, when it comes to someone winning and the other person losing, there is really no reliability whether as the player or the site. In the sense that me as a player if I have my way will want to continue winning despite the fact that I know perfectly that its not possible which means I am not reliable and I believe dice sites too do that and then becloud us with the provably fair which is most times correct and we assume it will always be correct. So to a large extent dice sites are reliable but not totally and only those that have proven themselves to be so.
1444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ANY STRATEGY TO WIN IN GAMBLING? on: March 06, 2017, 04:52:43 PM
First thing first strategy in gambling to me is only applicable to some games and its only those ones that are dependent on skills such as black jack, poker, card reading and a host of others and the only strategy I know is to keep on playing to the point of mastery if there is anything like that and to the point of the loss that one can take. Other than that, games like dice or high and low are purely based on chance and no amount of strategy can beat that.
1445  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Advantages of bitcoin cloud mining on: March 06, 2017, 03:14:53 PM
What is cloud mining?

It is simply a way to keep your money that you dont have any use for, and you dont intend to have any use for...

You can participate in bitcoin mining without maintaining the hardware by yourself.
We would like to share with you the advantages of bitcoin cloud mining to the members who are interested in.

1. Start hashing immediately!
Escape the noise, costly electricity bills, and warranty headaches.

This is not totally true as majority of these mining sites are scam sites while the remaining ones who have tried to remain in business, it will obviously take till eternity to even ROI no matter how much or how little the amount invested. The days of profitable cloud mining business are over, if anybody cannot afford hardware mining in my opinion, the best is to stay away from mining...

2. Stable
Mining deployment on a global scale 99.9% uptime guaranteed!
Detailed statistics provided.

3. Flexible
Start mining with even just one gigahash.
Trade and transfer hashrate with ease.
1446  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How to get around Coinbase ban if you withdraw from (gambling) website on: March 06, 2017, 02:50:40 PM
When you set up a coinbase account and want to move your bitcoins to a gambling site or vice versa.

1. Create a desktop wallet on your computer. I use Multibit.
2. Send your bitcoins from coinbase to your desktop wallet
3. Then from your desktop wallet to the gambling site. Withdraw your winnings  Wink from the gambling site and send them to your desktop wallet, then back to coinbase.
That way coinbase sees the deposit from your desktop wallet rather than your gambling site wallet.

That your analysis is actually for a newbie who thinks when verifying you just go one step backward and that settles it. I guess a lot of people agrees it does not work that way. If it works for you, its because they are yet to flag your account maybe due to the amount and the volume of transactions going into it but I tell you when they are ready, they will not only go five steps of a transaction, they might even start from the beginning of all transactions that have flowed into your account...
1447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: March 03, 2017, 10:46:50 AM
To me, anyone is better  and its individualistic in nature in the sense that it is only me that knows and understand which one I will go for whether its the gambling part or the way of investing since both ways can bring either profit or losses. It now depends on how far I am willing to go that will determine which one I will go for in other to achieve my objective...
1448  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If you want to use, really use coin, you should use Litecoin on: March 03, 2017, 06:57:16 AM
Two days ago, I sent two transactions.
0.15 Bitcoin, 0.0001 fee, after 48 hours, still not cleared.
2 litecoins, no fee, took my chance, and it was done almost instantly.

I think, bitcoin is not practical to be useful now a days. In contrast, Litecoin can be sued as a currency, and its price is stable, although it keep going down and down.

Your argument is correct but comparing the value and quantity of transactions happening in the case of bitcoin to lite coins to me its unfair and for us to compare the two then they have to be on the same level by then we can then conclude which one is better.

At the bolded, why will I want to put money on a sure way I am going to lose, is it because of instant delivery or what?...

Its so unfortunate that things turned out this way for Qtum if they never knew before and on the other hand I am happy if they knew because a lot of investors would have been saved by this eye opening happening right before the ICO. After reading the release of Patrick Daily admitting that he was really involved in bit bay, I just found his excuse not convincing enough which I am sure will go a large extent in determining whether Qtum is dead on arrival or not...

Like others have rightly said, there is no other way to earn etherum rather than buying to me and you also nned to be following the price closely to make reasonable income out if it. I tried the faucets part when I just got aware of eth, I tell you its even worse than btc faucet after a while I had to just abandon  it all together because to gather 1 ETH might take forever...
1451  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin provide income on line? on: March 02, 2017, 09:06:22 PM
many of my friends did not work but a lot of money away was great when compared, to me that is still working in the factory, I was confused from where producer obtained from bitcoin?

There is actually a lot of ways to earn fro bitcoin which I am sure a lot of people would have suggested but don't just be carried away by the amount your friends are making but be also conscious of the risk they take which might be too much for you to bear  when you know that, then you are ready to make money and that is tjwe fundamental thing to know first...
1452  Economy / Economics / Re: Remember when Bitcoin reached parity with the $ it's now just passed Gold on: March 02, 2017, 07:51:52 PM
Bitcoin is now worth more Gold.  I can remember when it was a big deal when it reached parity with the US Dollar.  And now it is way beyond the dollar, do you think that we will be looking back in 8 years and saying "remember when Bitcoin reached parity with gold" and at that time it will be way beyond that.  Next thing is 1 BTC reaches parity with the Dow.   Shocked

It is true that's what we have seen in our faces and congratulations it happened in our own very life time still in this world but the most important is sustainability at that because when the price might fall, it won't notify anybody and might take another long while to recover to the feat that was achieved today but hopefully the price will be maintained and we don't get to witness any event that will take us back to the bad old days...
1453  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin has defeated gold on: March 02, 2017, 07:47:52 PM
Bitcoin: $1260/BTC
Gold: $1241/xau
Well, I can not believe that the Bitcoin prices has crossed over gold sooner than I expect. I thought the process would be finished in April. Wow, Bitcoin is truly worth and everyone who has sold their Bitcoin has made a huge mistake. Nothing can stop Bitcoin right now.

That's a good one though but I don't know if the same position will still hold by the time we hear one news that is unfavorable to the crypto-world and the price came crashing. I don't think price should be the only factor in considering which one is higher of the two. We should also consider stability because if that is the case, I am sure bitcoin still has a long to way to go in other to catch up with gold...

https://btc-e.com/bets

I really don't understand this. They are letting you bet on what the price of bitcoin will be in 5 minutes. How is this fair at all? Could a whale not bet and then buy/sell to take everyones money?

Its simple to me, everything in this world is based on chance and for that reason someone can win and another can lose simply by making a try. Right on this forum, I have seen a bet site that allows you predict the last number of your transaction id and if you correct, you win big and when you wrong, you lose all. its as simple as that when you are ready for it, just go with for it. But I am sure they will have a particular exchange site to serve as a model for their use...
1455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Problems That Must To Be Solved Or Dash Will Win on: March 02, 2017, 04:21:33 PM
I have read this article and my eyes opened:
http://www.buywithbitcoin.info/if-bitcoin-will-not-progress-dash-will-overtake-bitcoin

Now i know that Dash solved all the problems that bitcoin have.
I haven't send huge amount of bitcoins, but now i know that for big players it costs allot to send bitcoin, fees are growing, confirmation time growing...

What are your problems using bitcoin and how we can solve them as fast as we can?

From what I have seen, the problem that Dash is claiming to solve is attached to the fact that the price of bitcoin is increasing and the population is equally increasing which we are not sure same thing will not happen to Dash if it can get the awareness bitcoin has garnered today. Aside that the problem which Dash can solve to me then I can prefer it over bitcoin, is when its possible to reverse scam transactions if I can prove I have been scammed aside that, then no problem is actually solved...
1456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC low fee taking days (or more) on: March 02, 2017, 04:15:04 PM

With the price up and trading going up, fees are skyrocketing. Transactions a few days ago took hours which was too long. My now it's been 24 hours and still 0 confirmations. Besides the major annoyance and risk this causes, is there any way to fix BTC? I don't see it surviving unreliability.

Its so unfortunate that things had to degenerate to this level but the real fact is that there are no two ways around it. In as much we are happy that the price is increasing, and we are making more money then we should also be ready to pay more to the miners who makes this bitcoin available for us as well as the wallet providers who will have to do more in protecting our funds for those who have some funds kept there.

And that is the problem we are going to face, when a particular project with promising future fails, we tend to start generalizing and thats even a lesson to every developer that your mistake is not going to be paid by you alone but likewise other projects that does not even have anything to do with you because people will start being skeptical about projects. Thankfully Qtum has not started the ICO before the revelations start coming out whether its true or not, its left for investors to decide...
1458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we encourage anyone to develop self control in order to minimize gambling? on: March 01, 2017, 09:27:13 PM
I believe its one of the reason why some bitcoin gambling sites or gambling spite generally always ensure that anybody patronising their services accepted the terms that they are adult by the definition of laws in their respective countries because gambling comes with responsibility and anyone going into it by default should be able to exercise self control and not to lose what you cannot afford then start crying foul or scam all over... Not that I am supporting scam though by sites though...
1459  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think BTC will hit 2000 USD feb 17 on: March 01, 2017, 09:11:35 PM
Almost we're close to the month end. Now the price is quite stable without fluctuations happening often. This time the price for February seems to be $1200. Based upon the ETF proposals result we can expect changes in the price by the upcoming month.
There is a lot of hype about this, so part of the price increase certainly occurred due to speculation related to the ETF approval, but only that event would not be enough to get Bitcoin to where it is now, and remain stable above $ 1100. Much of the progress is due to real adoption, which is something that is still growing. There are no guarantees, but this could push the price in the $ 2000 range this year.

The hype that have even greeted the ETF decision is even enough to kill it because after a little time on this forum, most projects or news with great hype ended up not even living up to expectation as people are even particular about positive news for bitcoin not considering if it might dealt a negative blow on bitcoin itself. Before ETF price is gradually increasing and I am of the opinion that same thing might greeted it even after ETF...
1460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can u lose with gambling? on: March 01, 2017, 09:06:28 PM
I don't think there is limits on losing through gambling. Gambling is always to loss and one in ten will be lucky enough to win good through gambling. To the maximum I have lost around 0.5 btc in a single event. Till date I have lost more than 20 bitcoins, everything went wrong when I tried to compensate the loss.

And that's exactly my point, the gambling site themselves have been designed for you to even lose all but limit what you can win for example playing at 1.1 then for someone who puts $100 then he is risking $100 to win $10 which gives the maximum he can win but losing on the other hand means that when he loses, the whole $100 dollar is gone and even if possible if you have $0 gambling can still take it...
