March became my lucky month in gambling sites, I won 2 jackpots that made me feel shock a little bit.

My first one was 0.00763365 btc won, and my big one is 2.46873821 eth... How about you did you experience to won Jackpot while playing at your favorite gambling site?


You got lucky, that only happens once in a lifetime so congrats on your big win, i personally have been gambling for a long time probably for like a year a year and a half, and i have never won jockpot ever i always end up losing all the money that i put in gambling sites, i always play the dice and try strategies that seem to work at first and win a good amount and after a couple of round my luck turns the other way and i lose it all.

Why no one can track down the hackers who stole around $500million worth of NEM from japanese exchange. how do you keep your cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is safe, and what makes it so is the ability for addresses to change after very transaction, and also you are able to store you balance offline on a hardware wallet to avoid the online ones, online wallets have a 2FA which sends you a verification SMS containing a password each time you or somone logs in from a different IP to your wallet, and if you are keeping your crypto offline than the only way a person could hack you is by sending a virus or a keyloger to your computer.

What exchanges would you prefer to see your crypto coin listed on?  Smiley
I would prefer Poloniex, because it has a very large number of coins listed there which makes it easier to switch between them, they have instant exchange with minimum fees, probably the lowest between all the exchange sites, which makes more easy and forgiving to new traders who are looking to get into coin trading.
1264  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you trade? on: April 01, 2018, 05:18:18 PM
Are you trading on Cryptos? If so then what is the way you do? Is it better to use self created system or do you prefer automatic system? I mostly keep trading myself, but it is very challenging and if you are into the job, then it becomes impossible to focus, so automatic ways are vital.

I come across Gunbot from https://www.cryptodailytrading.com/index.php/en/, it is something that I have just started testing out and it’s awesome.

Have you used any automatic system in past or currently? If not then why or if yes then why for the system you are using.
I really don't fully trust trade bots because i had a bad experience with it in the past and they sometimes mess up , and on the other hand keeping track of the price changes and trying to make a trade is very hard and could be very challenging, so the best thing to do is have them both, when you are busy and not in front of your computer try trading yourself and if you are away for a few hours use a bot, and keep one thing in mind is that you always have to be wise and patient and never panic.
1265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Selling for a loss to buy cheaper crypto? on: April 01, 2018, 04:22:46 PM
Everyone recommends hodling but what do you think about selling cryptos at a loss to buy other cryptos for cheap? You might be able to profit from a more volatile altcoin, especially with all the big coins going down for some time now.

But then again, it might be a little late for that, what do you think?
I don't think it is a good idea because high value coins that you have already invested in when their price was up, are more likley to start climbing up again than the other small ones that are cheaper, take bitcoin for example even if it is down at the moment when it goes up it goes up by 100 $ or 400$ a day but the other ones it might take them days, weeks or even years to change to 1$.
1266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Etherium? on: April 01, 2018, 03:39:39 PM
I know it is an old topic. However, I would like to get some more fresh insights after the recent deep from experts and holders of both Bitcoin and Etherium. I have a little bit of both. However, I am hesitant with enlarging further my Bitcoin or Etherium portfolio. My brain says, Bitcoin will stay #1 for a minimum of few years. My heart says Etherium should grow significantly and finally overcome Bitcoun in the upcoming years. Not sure which one to chose as a long-term investment.
In terms pf practicality and development etehreum should be the first, because of in a short time it attracted a lot of investments due to its capability of providing and opening a whole window of ideas for developers and investors to implement the blockchain technology into many fields like transportation and social media and many fields through ICOs, and this where etehreum has advantage on bitcoin, bitcoin only focus on the finical field but since it has been on the field for a while it has become very popular and it has a strong base so it is not going to fall that easy, they are both great investments but with the recent banning of ICO related ads ethereum has been taking a hit and it is going to take a while before it comes back again, so bitcoin will always be the number one cryptocurrency investment.
1267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Possible to make alts move without BTC ? on: April 01, 2018, 02:51:33 PM
Hi to you all !!

Is it possible to make alts move without growth of BTC ?

I know it is possible just look at MC down to 280b today. And we can see a few coins going up when BTC is going down. Know many sell their alts moving to BTC when the market going down. What if we all stop doing this and just focus on the coins we believe in ?

If BTC drops 50% you will lose the same amount of $ if you hold BTC or another coin (know BTC will recover faster) if thats your excuse. I see many post topics about why do alts drop. But to answer that question do alts drop because most of the traders move their investments from alts to BTC when the market goes red.

Why dont we just stop doing this and change the crypto world together ?
It is called the cryptocurrency market not the bitcoin market or the altcoin market, when they move they move together its just happens that bitcoin was the first and that is why it has the largest investment cap in it, news and events that happen to this market are what effects the investments and the prices, as you saw over the last couple of months when the cryptocurrnecy had a lot debate from governments it affected every single coin not just bitcoin or the altcoins.
1268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO's in USA on: April 01, 2018, 02:14:28 PM
Although I know that residents of USA are restricted from participating in ICO's, I was wondering what exactly would happen if a USA resident does indeed go around it and still put their money into one. Would the SEC take the money, or what kind of consequences are there?
You can go around the country restriction for the ICO, by easily using a VPN, but the problem is that most of the ICOs require you an ID, and some of them even require to photograph that ID, because some people use ICOs for the wrong purpose like money laundering, you can make a fake ID to go around that but you have to be carefull of how much you are investing, if it is a small amount than you are fine, but more than 1000$ than that will raise suspicions.
1269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Today i declare, buying of all good altcoins on: April 01, 2018, 01:11:57 PM
It seems that altcoins this time is in RED mode, that means we need to buy. During the previous months Altcoins, they are rising up in prices, but 2018 is the falling down of all altcoins and bitcoin.

So 2018, will be the buying year. I declare to myself that i will buy as much as i can, since i am a long term investor.

I appreciate good comments. And please correct me if im wrong with my moves.
Well not all of the altcoins, i mean you have to pick the right ones, of course you might get a bit of profit from buying and holding some small altcoins but they won't give as much as the main big ones like bitcoin and etehreum, in my opinion i think if you want to invest and buy coins right now those tow should be your target, because no matter how long it will it take them but eventually  hey will rise and rise big.
1270  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How hard is it to pay with bitcoin? on: April 01, 2018, 12:42:35 PM
Bitcoins are easier to pay than a debit or credit card, which can be accepted without a merchant account. In your wallet application on your computer or smartphone, enter the recipient's bitcoin address and payment amount, and you can complete the payment by pressing the send button. To make it easier to enter the payee's address, many wallets can be accessed via qr code scanning or NFC technology.


Do you think it is convenient to use bitcoin?
No doubt about that, paying with bitcoin much easier and faster than paying with credit cards and in fact it has cheaper fees, but the biggest problem that bitcoin had and we all witnessed in last year is scaling, last year when bitcoin got so popular that a lot of people were using it the network was flooded and transactions were stuck for days and fees were at crazy values, and that made making any micro transaction made by bitcoin nearly impossible, in fact steam which was accepting bitcoin removed it from the payment method because of how high the fees were, bitcoin is great for micro transactions so if this problem gets fixed which should be with the LN, i am sure a lot of companies will accept it.
1271  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fall of crypto is near on: April 01, 2018, 12:14:03 PM
I am in immense pain to say that i foresee the fall. I would not be surprised if we lose from this point to 50-60 percent.
Accirding to my knowledge institutional investors are bidding out from crypto and stocks.
Stocks has already dwindling now and same will comeback to crypto.
I know some will say it is a fud but friends i am not joking. You are free to not  to buy my thoughts.
Hope i will save someone.
Thank you.
Price today: 7930 usd per bitcoin.

Ps: sorry for typos i am on smartphone and oil is in my hands, i saw something ehich i could not resist..so i decided to spread my words with you guys.
Well cryptpcurrency is not all about the money or how high the price it will get, we are the ones to blame for putting it in this situation, cryptocurrencies were supposed to be alternatives for the fiat, a better and safer ways for us to use money, instead e just held them and kept them in our pockets blinded by our greed for more money and profit, that is not what they were made for, cryptocurrency is an idea that only the dedicated and passionate people who will support even if they fall back where they started.
1272  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: day trading for quick profit on: April 01, 2018, 11:37:36 AM
Hello any suggestion for trade every day and make good profit ? like 50$ day.
i think the best pair are BTC USDT ? is possible to trade only this or need difference the crypto ?
Well in normal days i would say yes you could make 50 to 100 dollars a day from trading bitcoin, but given the circumstances and the price change that bitcoin had these past few months, day trading would be very very risky, because we really don't know where the price is going to whether it is going to go up or down, in the past every day bitcoin would take a step forward or a jump sometimes, but lately each step forward we take tow steps back, so until things get settled don't try day trading.
1273  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where to invest in Bitcoin businesses? on: April 01, 2018, 11:12:42 AM
Let's say someone need to find in the USA the best options where to invest in shares, stocks or in any assets available from startup companies or well established bitcoin companies today. Where that could be and why?
Well i think the one thing that i could think off on top of my mind is BTCjam, this a peer to peer bitcoin landing serveries, where you invest your bitcoin in small businesses or an idea or a startup, you go and look at the project descriptions and read the whole businesses idea and how are going to make it work, and they tell you based on your investment how much interest you will get on a specif period of time, this is a great site i have invested in a lot of these small businesses and everyone there pays
1274  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Big gains come with big losses on: April 01, 2018, 10:47:03 AM
To everyone complaining about the current situation crypto is in or questioning why its happening you need to keep in mind that if something triples in price in a relatively short period of time, it can crash just as hard in the same period of time.  I remember when eth had its climb up $1400 people were ecstatic and they thought that we were never gonna see sub $1k eth again when just a few months ago eth was just $300.  This greed brought on by the price influxes is blinding people from the reality that crypto prices cant keep going up forever.
I agree, with the prices going up t high values last year, this market gained a lot of popularity and a lot of reputation for making people rich, so many who have no idea about cryptocurrency and how it works jumped into it, in hope for fast and big profit, but they were greeted by disappointment, the people who got rich from it got it after many years of waiting and having the strength to keep holding and the patience to support the idea of cryptocurrency, they didn't not get it it between a day and night, so these people who complain about it are just no good for this type of market so they quit and say bad things about.

What do you think about this report ?? I lost 40% my capital with this storm , so sad !!  Cry Cry
Well this was the idea all along, governments helplessly try to ban cryptocurrency and bitcoin just because they are unable to get profit from it, because they can't make people pay transactions made by cryptocurrency, they say they want to implement the blockchain technology in their banks, but the truth is they can't because transactions made in the network must be anonymous and they can't do that, it is a trick to get more money from people.
1276  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin fair for those who buy for the first time now? on: March 31, 2018, 11:32:55 PM
As an economist, I worry about a lot of issues related to economies in this world.
Bitcoin is surely a revolution, but I worry that it is highly unfair for the older generations and the people who join Bitcoin in later periods.

Most people in the world do not hold Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. If they started buying it, prices would soar and there would be a huge purchasing power transfer from those who got later in to those who got in earlier. For these people, staying in Fiat currency will be the best option.

Also, there is the issue of scalability and of the timeframe of existance of Bitcoin.
Isn't it better to jump try an ICO? And following this reasoning why invest in an ICO now when something better may come later?

I think many of the discussions about cryptocurrencies leave out those of our society who have less access to information and new technologies.

What do you think?
Thank you.
This is probably one of the biggest issues of bitcoin these days, and that is scaling, in the past every time bitcoin got up in price it gave an opportunity for people to join in and get profit if they want to at a point where buying bitcoin to the average person became a really hard thing to do because of the price, so people started looking for other cheaper alternative which they found in ICOs, not only that but last between the tow last months the bitcoin network was a mess transaction were stuck for days miner fees reaching ridiculous prices, all of that because of the high flow of traffic and people that got into it, but hopefully with the lightning network things will get much better as it will solve this whole process by letting bitcoin be implemented in the instant micro transaction payment.
1277  Economy / Economics / Re: The market started looking green today. on: March 31, 2018, 10:35:06 PM
Not enough to say that bulls are in, just look at the market right now bitcoin is heading down again. Everybody on crypto world is waiting for the bounce.
It is true that it is not a big progress to say that it is starting to head in the right way, but it is a progress never the less, i think we only could say that bitcoin is out of its correction when we get to 9000$ mark again, from that point i am sure that the price will start skyrocketing just like last year, so all we have to do is to just stay calm, paitinet and wise about how we handle this bump in the road.
1278  Economy / Economics / Re: BITCOIN IS NOT BUBBLE!! on: March 31, 2018, 09:48:17 PM
I think so. bitcoin is the future currency. I am its natural thing if in btc development there are those who agree and who do not agree, but bitcoin cant dammed with negative news, so i believeif btc have bright future, so I believe bubble will not happen
Obviously there is no way to consider bitcoin a bubble because it is not having a sort of temporary market or is a currency that is limited by use or time. There is a big lot of people who are enjoying making wealth and living the lives of their dreams with bitcoin. Those who are kind of against bitcoin are those who do not know in detail about bitcoin and its working. Once they make profit with it, they would not go against it.
The real reason behind economist and wall street experts saying that bitcoin is just a bubble and soon it will collapse, is because they don't want it to become popular, they don't want people using it and getting profit from it, because simply it is against their interest if bitcoin goes up, because simply think about it if a guys who owns billions of dollars in a stock market where it involves around fiat currencies, like USD/Euro or something of that sort, and if people find interest and profit in cryptocurrency which they did it will take over the whole trading market and everyone who invested their money in other things will lose a lot, and that is why they say that and that is why they are trying their hardest to bring this whole thing down.
1279  Economy / Economics / Re: Government Furious on: March 31, 2018, 09:15:31 PM
The capitalization of bitcoin transactions reaches billions of dollars but governments of any country can not get revenues or income from these transactions and this makes governments in many countries complain of the existence of bitcoin because it is considered a threat to the economy of a country. Should tax apply to users who do bitcoin transactions? When are users comfortable with this situation? what is the right regulation to address these issues to help each country improve its economy?
The only way that govermments would start applying taxes to get profit from bitcoin transaction is if they accept it first, and at that point i think many poeplple would be totaly ok with it, because if you think about it, people right now uses bitcoin online and when they want to exchange it to fiat they have to go throw many process like finding an exchnage and somone to sell to which will take time and fees, so if we can directly go to the bank and exchnage our bitcoin instantly and use it when we want and just by paying a small fee than i see no harm if governments tax it.

The scammers and crooks finally won! Congratulations because even your fiat will be near worthless at some point too! The economic freedom of the people is once again destroyed by the animalia raised by bad handlers.

To the "Lending" companies (hey man, do you think I can get my money back soon), I salute you.

To Bitmain and "the plan", I salute you.

To Wall Street who always knows my future, I salute you.

To the newbie crypto-millionaires, who only like the part about making easy money, I salute you.

To the lower middle-class who borrowed all the equity in their homes to buy crypto and told everyone about it, I salute you.

To the SEC who will wait until every crypto is worthless to go after anyone, I salute you.

To the old school crypto nerds, who cashed out in 2017 when they saw what was coming, great job!


I still remember the days when getting anything over a 1% yield on a bank account was something to brag about.

One day I will tell my grand kids about the time in 2017 when everyone except politicians were happy and it was a joy to work at any job because you had real money that actually could make you more real money. Time to find the next bubble...
Just because some stupid people who have no clues about the cryptocurrency who just got into bitcoin just for the money as soon as they saw some people making profit from it, just because these people have quit as soon as the price went down doesn't mean that bitcoin will die because of them, bitcoin have made it all the way to the top with only a few people using it, the people who believe in it as an idea and who support it no matter what, so as long as those people still exist bitcoin will always live on.
