1  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin worth to you or not... on: December 23, 2016, 07:52:34 AM
Yes bitcoin is worthy to me and I wouldn't trade it's place for anything else currently. Hopefully we'll reach the 900$ mark by next week.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My 2017 predictions on: December 23, 2016, 07:49:46 AM
In. 2017 I foresee ethereum finally dead and Zcash taking over as the next big thing after bitcoins. Monero, litecoins and doge will also do their best.
3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: December 23, 2016, 07:44:29 AM
Yes, it's a good way to make money but there are better ways through trading but I'm assuming a lot of people don't want to spend the extra time learning all about trading so if that applies to you then you better buy bitcoins, hold on to it with the hope of its price rising and then selling back for more money.

Arsenal have already lost twice in a row, will lose again Vs. WBA? I don't understand this little thing always happens in every season.

Arsenal always disappoints when much is expected of them, I bet Arsenal will be settling for a fourth place again when they could fight for the title. I don't know what the heck is wrong with this team?
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice Games Are So Much Fun on: December 23, 2016, 07:28:04 AM
Dice games are fun but I find a lot as scams and ponzi's, you'll lose your money easily if you intend making profits rather than going for entertainment and the fun part.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: December 22, 2016, 09:32:43 PM
Not in the foreseeable future, but it's possible.
7  Economy / Exchanges / Re: US resident - bitcoin exchanges only take Wire Transfer? on: December 22, 2016, 09:30:58 PM
Coinbase? GDAX?

Ok fair enough.
Coinbase let's me buy bitcoin and eth.

I actually was interested in additional crytocurrencies.
But i wasn't clear about that in my OP.



Just try and convert from whatever cryptocurrency to Bitcoin and cash out from coinbase, that's if you want use else buy whatever alt coin with your bitcoins on any exchange out there.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto trading or gambling on: December 22, 2016, 09:10:31 PM
All are so risky but crypto trading is safer and less risky but I am used to gambling, so it depends on your preference.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: buy coins quickly with credit card on: December 22, 2016, 09:07:39 PM
I tried different sites to buy coins quickly with credit card.
Got them when I needed them. No wire, no waiting. The only site that is actually working is this: https://www.btc4cc.com/


Are you the owner of the website? Are you promoting it? A newbie account with this as your first post; look suspicious.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Portuguese League Prediction Thread (Primeira Liga) on: December 22, 2016, 09:04:51 PM
Ok it's my first time betting on the Portuguese league so I'll be cautious, I want to parlay Belenenses vs Sporting CP @ x2 and Chaves vs Estroli @1x
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: advantages of bitcoin on: December 22, 2016, 08:20:53 PM
Bitcoin has many advantages but I will list a few ;

Freedom in Payment- it is very possible to be able to send and get money anywhere in the world at any given time. You don’t have to worry about crossing borders, rescheduling for bank holidays, or any other limitations one might think will occur when transferring money. You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network.

Control and Security- Allowing users to be in control of their transactions help keep Bitcoin safe for the network. Merchants cannot charge extra fees on anything without being noticed. They must talk with the consumer before adding any charges. Payments in Bitcoin can be made and finalized without one’s personal information being tied to the transactions. Due to the fact that personal information is kept hidden from prying eyes, Bitcoin protects against identity theft. Bitcoin can be backed up and encrypted to ensure the safety of your money.

Information is Transparent- With the block chain, all finalized transactions are available for everyone to see, however personal information is hidden. Your public address is what is visible; however, your personal information is not tied to this. Anyone at anytime can verify transactions in the Bitcoin block chain. Bitcoin protocol cannot be manipulated by any person, organization, or government. This is due to Bitcoin being cryptographically secure.

Very Low Fees- Currently there are either no fees, or very low fees within Bitcoin payments. With transactions, users might include fees in order to process the transactions faster. The higher the fee, the more priority it gets within the network and the quicker it gets processed. Digital Currency exchanges help merchant process transactions by converting bitcoins into fiat currency. These services generally have lower fees than credit cards and PayPal.

It's a good investment now because it keeps rising and you can make some cool dollars by buying and selling.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers Have Stolen Millions Of Dollars In Bitcoin -- Using Only Phone Numbers on: December 22, 2016, 07:38:04 PM
That's why you need to download the entire blockchain and wallet and keep your private keys.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin died tomorrow on: December 22, 2016, 07:31:14 PM
If bitcoin dies , Zcash will up and running the show. It's just a matter of switching to an alt coin.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to Invest BTC? on: December 22, 2016, 07:23:39 PM
So where should we invest bitcoin to actually earn some profit and increase the amount of bitcoin we own, is there any legit place?
I mean cloud mining is a scam but there must be something else we can actually do right?

I will suggest you venture into trading or hold on to the coins you own at the moment, buy more if you can and then hope for the consistent rise and sell back for $ when it begins to decline and make profit while you stay alert for the decline until it becomes stable again and then you go buy your coins back, this time at a cheaper price. Hope you get my drift??
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people use/hold bitcoin in 2016 on: December 22, 2016, 07:12:57 PM
Im interested to know how many people are actually now involved in the bitcoin world, Is there anyway to find out a rough idea of the user base so that we can come to a conclusion on what kind of adoption we are currently at? It seems difficult to gauge since this forum alone has several duplicate accounts from the same people.

. /r/bitcoin has 180k subs to it so would it be safe to assume if we included all miners, users holders and whoever else that we are still at under 1 million users? If this is the case then we still have a long way to go.

Does anyone have any more accurate guesses or way to determine the market?

Ok I will help answer your question with some statistics, there are about 15 million people involved or holding bitcoins as at now and I got this statistics from a reliable source. Here we go;

1. 7.4 million bitcoin addresses with a balance .0001 BTC ($.0861)
2. 4.5 million bitcoin addresses with a balance .001 BTC ($.861)
3. 2.8 million bitcoin addresses with a balance .01 BTC ($8.61)
4. 1.2 million bitcoin addresses with a balance 1 BTC ($86.10)
5. 446,301 bitcoin addresses with a balance 1 BTC ($861.00)
6. 131,709 bit coin addresses with a balance 10 BTC ($8,610)
7. 13,698 bitcoin addresses with a balance 100 BTC ($86,100)
8. 1,658 bitcoin addresses with a balance 1,000 BTC ($861,000).
9. 121 bitcoin addresses with a balance 10,000 BTC ($8,610,000).
10. 1 bitcoin address with a balance 100,000 BTC ($86,100,000)

I hope this helps?
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you believe banks will work with Bitcoin, you're delusional on: December 22, 2016, 06:54:35 PM
I totally agree with what you have said. Banks will never accept bitcoin and they will never want people to use bitcoin for their own good. No bank in the world will be able to offer such type of return which bitcoin is giving to the people. Within a year, I have received over 70% profit from my investment. This kind of return banks will never be able to afford.

Also bank has a legal limitation about accepting bitcoin in to their regulated environment. Bitcoin is not controlled by any central authority. That is another main roadblock.

I bet to differ because the Bank of England made a consortium of 50 English banks; those that are completely rebuilt on a model based on blockchain technology. So I believe they will eventually integrate into a blockchain bank or something like that in the near future rather than a complete wipeout of the banks.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FUCK! The Bitcoin is dead again. This time for sure. on: December 22, 2016, 06:26:01 PM
FUCK! This stupid thread from The DGulari just refuses to die.
whenever the price of bitcoin goes up this thread reload, i think there must be something secret. otherwise why this thread needed here, as we can see the price of bitcoin is continuously increasing.

I doubt if bitcoins will be dead any time soon so I don't have qualms about those negative speculative fundamentalist.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin 20 Years From Now on: December 22, 2016, 06:22:12 PM
As a currency for the future, I foresee Bitcoin will enable Facebook to provide remittance, banking and person-to-person money transfer services to its users in 20 years and beyond. I also think every e-commerce website will accept bitcoins by then.

I also foresee Western Union and MoneyGram’s existing remittance businesses being decimated and bitcoins will fuel new, innovative micropayment-based online business models.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Effects of Banning Bitcoin ? on: December 22, 2016, 06:10:58 PM
I think it will rather have a positive effect on Bitcoin (i.e. It will activate the Streisand effect  ). I believe any attempt to ban Bitcoin by a government or a central bank can have the unintended consequence of making it even more popular especially among a demographic that had previously never heard of Bitcoin.
