Your reason is just the best and the only thing that will make buy with btc is if the store is located in my locality as I can check and just return if I am not comfortable and not the one that I would probably wait for like 5 days to get the shipped cloths then if its not what I asked for as a result of error, then I wait another number of days to get it return and corrected couple with the premium I will have to pay for shipping expenses.

I will suggest you just move your Amazon to PayPal with that, you can easily get someone to trade for you. Also, since you're vigilant already to know about the scam accusation, I will suggest you still keep at it but the issue about PayPal here is the fact that its reversible unlike btc and this could make people not willing to go that route. You can give that a shot as well. Also dont forget to use escrow. Its fundamental to keep your funds safe.

Although no one can really know for sure the direction of which the price of bitcoin will slide towards because there are unfirseen circumstances that could totally change the ball game without giving anyone any heads up. At the same time, I would suggest you take time to study when the price will be relatively stable before making your decision.

Strategy in gambling? I dont have any I just do my thing and I don't think there is need for it in the first place if one had stick toother rules of gambling. Gambling is about chance and sometimes about luck which is not a respecter of any form of strategy so far its a provably firs system the same chance of losing is the same chance of winning just to pray to fall on the right side.

No one is sure of what the future holds for even bitcoin itself not to talk of ETH but based on my own view I think the future is still bright for ETH if developers can still continue to work on the infrastructure already established and still keep the hope alive. The reason for my position is that when I found my way into cryptoworld, some months back, the price was around 12$ and today, its hovering between 9$ and 10$ which means it has not faded out completely as the drop is still reasonable to a large extent.

I would say it possible in some places in the sense that for those who want to remain anonymous and bitcoin with government regulation coming and all this KYCs all over the place, then I see them overtaking bitcoin in no distant time but for the majority of the masses using bitcoin who knows nothing or who have nothing to do in secret or anonymously, then I see alts taking over practically.

17btc is a whole lot of amount to be made from the initial 7btc but its not impossible to make but at the same time it comes with its own risk which could mean even losing the whole or part of the 7btc.

it depends on the timing at hand, and the risk one is willing to take, if you are a risk taker and dont mind losing the whole investment then gambling in a reputable sites where you can be guaranteed of being paid your winnings if you happen to win, is the best way to go.

Another route to go is to partner with that fund to establish a service in popular demand which could generate that amount over a period of time.

No investment comes without its own risk and that is a responsibility that every individual must be a able to live with if one is really serious about making money. I will say it actually depends on you when you are ready to take the decision instead of waiting for people to tell you the course of action to take and I will encourage you to go for the one one you will be able to live with the consequences if otherwise sceneriao happened.

Its a possibility that its being manipulated but to the best of my knowledge, any anonymous story does not hold water and I am sure we will need more than that reported speech to actually believe what Op is trying to pass across. Another way to look at it is why is that its only China that its being manipulated with the number of users we have all over the world. That needs answer as well as what will be the volume of BTC they will hold to actually be able to influence price among other questions that remain unanswered.

Thank you manager, Luptin and Xbtfreelancer.I confirm that I receive payment for the last round and continuing for week.

Several reasons can be adduced to have influence bitcoin in the market place and I would say one factor will not be totally responsible because for a large market like bitcoin then its going to be mirage of factors which I identified in my own way:

1. The forces of demand and supply will go along way to influence it

2.Another one which is not too obvious is the issue of speculation, this has proven to have been obvious where some exchanges will be trading at a price forcing other exchange sites to follow.

That would really be painful with the increase in price that bitcoin has witnessed in recent time. That could really have made something this time. For me, I havent gather much since I can only make from Signature campaigns and bounties coupled with the fact that increasing in rank is directly related to what can be earned. So in all I have saved about 0.07btc and still hoping to make more as time goes by.

Paper money will never disappear not in this century, in before the increase in the dominance of internet which makes the use of electronic money as such, it has not even reduce the amount of paper notes being printed by the Central Bank. Paper money has being with us for ages and centuries and for any kind of currency to replace it means it has to be around if not that long then close to that or else, the worse that will happen is that they both co-exist.

I am very sure there will be an explanation to the way the banks related with you at the same time there are laws that guide their activities in which if you are not comfortable with, you can just sue them and ask for damages. Also, its a lesson to never to trust all your money in just one particular place whether banks or otherwise because you never can tell when you will need it the most and this people will start giving stories that touch.

For me, I see it as the three because the three characteristics enumerated by OP comes together to give it the popularity it enjoys today and we all at one point or the other use Bitcoin for one or all the three functions above. For example

1. As a commodity, this is common to those who are good in trading by buying low and selling high at different point in time.

2. As a store of value, this is common to people who buy to keep maybe for 6 months or 1 year even more and wait for it to appreciates significantly before disposing.

3. As a currency, here we is for people who acquire for payment of services offered such as design of banners or even payment for signature campaigns etc.

Putting all these together,I cannot separate one from the other.

The best way to quit gambling to me, is just to find other creative avenues to make money or for those who claim they are into gambling for fun, they should look for more other productive ways to catch fun that will not involve losing money. And another thing is that, one cannot even stop at once anyone thinking that is possible, is probably joking as the best way is to take it gradually and in no distant time, one drops the attitude.

Gambling will be considered as sickness only when the losing aspect of an individual  has turn him to something else and he is still not willing to stop then that is a big time sickness but that will not be said if an individual is making some money in gambling, will that also be said to be sickness? Anyone who can handle the pressure whether loss or win in gambling should go into it and just know the right time to stop.

It will actually work like this for me, the issue of having enough money from gambling is probably not a possibility and since money cannot be enough even the richest still go after more money, so I will still gamble. And for the question of gambling for profit or fun, if I want to have fun, I know where to go to and its not gambling or what is the fun is losing my money which probably take more energy to gather than losing in the first place.

For me, its the simplest thing to do by sticking my rules which is "bet what you can afford to lose" that is my watchword. The moment I have exhausted that limit of what I can afford to lose, nothing is making me continue and nothing is making me borrow to gamble with. Other times when winnings come my way and I cant afford to lose that winning, I am just stopping to wait another day where I can get to try my luck again.

Having control over whatever one is doing is a basic thing to be done whether good or bad with gambling inclusive for me, I will say I control myself more than anything because I dont go towards gambling for joke its for serious business which is to win and if I cannot achieve that in due time after I must have exhausted my budget for that particular period of time, I am definitely stopping no matter what. Another day with another free money then I am coming back.
