I think and believe it is somewhat predictable and somewhat unpredictable. Predictable because you can follow market factors and economic movements which will help a trader to assume or somewhat predict to some extent, what might happen. Even technical analysis makes it somewhat predictable, if its done correctly
Now at some point it becomes totally unpredictable and becomes kind of gambling, but only if you trade totally blindly.
Moreover it not good to listen advises from others, better you make your own choices.

There are barely any physical credit cards for bitcoin which benefits the user as most of the cards
charge super high fees for paying another currecy that dollars or even for withdrawing money from an atm.
There are even super high charges for making a bitcoin card , the best thing to do is just withdraw your bitcoins to cash and make you local credit card payments with those cash

Bitcoin credit card is not available right now, and even IMO it will be very difficult to even make it available, as to provide a Credit Card, the applicant has to assure that he is capable of returning the money. And to verify, government support and help of some kind of Banking/Financial service who will supports Bitcoin will be required.
Japan and few others who legally accepted Bitcoin can only provide such kind of services I think as of now.

It's a piece of cake for Australia now. They would want to gather some good pace before playing to England and Newzealand. A runrate too will matter.
Well said, Bangladesh couldn't create any strong challenge against Aussies, 183 is not a big score to chase for batting side of Australia, Warner is playing well and Captain Smith is supporting him very much. but rain can be a factor for this match.. let's see..

As I had predicted, bad weather and rain kicking Aussies chance to make it through to the semi finals, that still need 100 runs more and it looks like rains not going to stop.
On the other hand Pakistani media is blaming their team for the worst performance and it looks like Pakistani players will have to take security to reach their homes.

Rain is creating problems for aussies, but I think they still have fair chances, but its getting tougher for them. You cannot say it can't stop,  Grin it suddenly comes and suddenly disappears  Tongue

It seems, Pakistani media cannot accept a casual game of cricket. One has to loose or win. It was a moderate performance, but their opponent gave wonderful performance.
1144  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $0.85 transaction fee is absolutely ridiculous! on: June 05, 2017, 05:41:21 PM
Am I the only one realizing that ~$1 fee to make a transaction is absolutely insane and defeats one of the core benefits of using bitcoin for daily transactions.

This is getting insane and is completely uncalled for, or am I wrong?

For a very long while I have been reading about fees and since I had not transacted for long really did not care to look into this aspect, for transferring 0.84 I was asked to pay a fees of 1-2$ it's absolutely ridiculous and I thought coinbase.com to coinbase.com was free but even that's chargeable what's wrong with Bitcoin when will this trauma end. Any idea how to beat it for good.

The fees have increased and sometimes feels annoying, but you stated 0.84, is it BTC or $. If its $0.84 and you are being charged $1-2, then its quite unnatural, but if its in BTC then $1-2 is still acceptable as pe the current valuation. Recently I was charged $1.5 approx., to transact 0.04 BTC.

1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: June 04, 2017, 08:36:55 PM
Here are my ratings for the top 6 coaches of Premier League 2016/17:

-Antonio Conte (Chelsea)  8,5: Victory of the Premier League

 93 points (2 less than the 95 points record) ; record of 30 wins in 1 season,13 consecutive wins.
He guessed the 3 purchases (Marcos Alonso, Kantè, David Luiz).
He regenerated the whole team and especially Hazard and Diego Costa
If he won the Fa Cup it would be a perfect season


-Josè Mourinho (Manchester United) 8: 3 won trophies: Europa League, Community Shield, Efl Cup,

Excellent first season for Mourinho, with 3 trophies won and especially  Europa league, the only title missing in the history of Manchester United. The players he chose were decisive: Pogba, Ibrahimovic, Mkhitarian


-Pochettino (Tottenham) 6+ : Second place in Premier League and qualification directed to champion's league group

His Tottenham was the only one to fight up to the end against Chelsea for the Premier League victory.
 Best Striker: Kane 29 goals; Best Attack: 86 goals; best defense: 26 goals.
Very bad in Europe: Third in his champion's league group and immediately eliminated in the Europa League against Gent.
In the decisive moments it is never decisive

-Guardiola (Manchester City) 4,5 third place in Premier League and qualification directed to Champion's League group

Bad season for Guardiola coming third in the Premier League has limited the damage. He had the strongest team but underestimated the Premier League this year. He was wrong about buying Stones (paying him exaggerated).

Next year I am convinced that it will be a great season


-Klopp (Liverpool) 4,5: 4th place  in Premier League and qualification at playoffs of Champion's League

Liverpool this year has been too discontinuous by alternating great matches against big teams and losing points with weaker teams. They have had a lot of insight into the bad season, injuries and players who started off for the cup of Africa.
Potentially Liverpool is a great team and plays very well.

-Wenger (Arsenal) 4,5:  Victory Fa Cup; 5th place  in Premier League and qualification at Europa League.
The Fa Cup victory avoided a disastrous season. The arsenal is out of the champion's league after 20 years.
I think Wenger was to be sent away.
 

I think Wenger should be rated higher due than Kopp and Guardiolasince he manged to win a trophy whiles they won nothing the only thing they can boast of is champions League qualifications.

I agree that Wenger is underrated than the other two. But I also believe the trophy is past, the current status should be considered. I think that is why he is low rated. But I think this season Wenger is going to do something positive.
1146  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: June 04, 2017, 06:44:13 PM
I have read an article about the prediction of some experts for this year, they are saying that it's still possible for bitcoin to reach $10k for this year

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-could-reach-10000-in-few-months-with-fund-managers-bullish-sentiment

I find it possible but it is too much. I'm only thinking that the price of bitcoin can possible get up only at $3,000 for this year.

10k usd?  There have to be a lot of major news for bitcoin price to increase that much.  My prediction for this year is bitcoin to reach $2000 and that one already achieved, so $3000 as stable price at the end of the year seems possible with 6 months to go.
I think so because the bitcoin still has a lot of ammunitions to shoot on the next ATH. I can say there is a possibility the price of bitcoin will over $3000 in the future. but we will need a lot of effort.
More adopters and buyers to pump the price of bitcoin.
Yeah I predict that bitcoin prices will continue to rise, because the number of bitcoin users currently can not be said big. Bitcoin users will continue to grow and prices will continue to rise


Most probably it will rise, because the acceptance is increasing by users and also various countries are making it legal which is booming the the price as well. Though its a kind of gambling, but in a positive approach, with maximum chance to be in profit. The price is going to shoot above $3000 pretty soon.

The rain is just kind of ruining the match, overs already got reduced a quite lot, hope it doesn't reduces more. Game started again, hope to see some fall of wickets. Grin



Didn't know that Yuvi is still capable of such an amazing innings, didn't follow up the IPL, maybe he trained himself within the league.

Shorter the game, more edge to the chasing team (Pakistan).

2 overs ain't just enough for Pakistan's edge.

Yuvi is in great form now. He played well earlier this year in the international games as well as in the IPL and hence it was not surprising. When he starts playing and is in form, he is capable of making 90-100 runs while today he got out before that. The best thing about today's game is that everyone performed well which is rare to see.


Yup the gameplay was really outstanding,all the top 4 of batting order showed their performance, but loved to see Yuvi comeback.
I think Kohli was waiting to perform for his nation rather than performing at domestic league, IPL.
 
1148  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: June 03, 2017, 07:14:36 PM
There has to be multiple options to acquire Bitcoin in order to reach that milestone every week, though its quite possible if its every month.
Basically I believe in trading and also some other services for which I charge helps me to reach around 10% of 0.1  per week at the moment. The amount still fluctuates. Hope to strengthen it as I get more experience. Tradin and other form of investments or providing service can only help one to achieve that amount.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: June 03, 2017, 06:48:35 PM
SA did well, though personally I didn't enjoyed it. Anyway, tomorrow will be a great match it seems. Everybody is quite excited, I think and believe India will win for sure. Hope to see tough competition from both the sides.
1150  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When do you plan to sell? on: June 03, 2017, 07:32:18 AM
Selling for me depends on the motive of my holding or accumulation. If I am taking it as an investment, I won't sell it now, would wait. And I also believe as others said, that it has potential to touch great heights. But I also have some Bitcoins which I earn or acquire, to use it to spend.
1151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: June 02, 2017, 06:44:47 PM
Australia require another 182 runs with 7 wickets and 24.0 overs remaining. Rain has stopped the play again . Required run rate now is at 7.58. If there is further reduction in overs than OZ will have an unfair advantage of wickets since they can easily chase score of even 9 in over in 15 overs as they have good batsman to follow if D/L comes in place again.



Damn it!! New Zealand would have won for sure. Now England got a good chance of moving into the semis with it's point lead.
Looks like South African players having some trouble in the team management. I would go with Sri Lanka for tomorrow's match. Let's see what happens in group B.

SA is a better unit and considering the Aamla form and their fielding SA has advantage compared to SL. But its a different game considering the pressure and playing away from home will make the difference. I hope it should be full 50 over match and should not be reduced due to rain,


Even if over gets reduced hope the match doesn't get cancelled as today's match. I also think South Africa has more chances to win as I see Sri Lanka being inconsistent in their previous few games. Imran Tahir is also in a good form. Wishing to watch ABD showing his extraordinary batting skills.
1152  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will we ever see bitcoin lower than 1000$? on: June 02, 2017, 06:22:36 PM
Dropping to lower than $1000 is not impossible, but as per the current portfolio and trend, its not gonna go down below $1500, max $1300. Unless any large issue takes place worldwide. A war can bring down the value or any other contrary incident takes place, which can affect the value, but casually, its gonna go up as per the current movement.
1153  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think ISIS uses Bitcoin? on: June 02, 2017, 05:52:16 PM
It is quite possible. As its not possible to know who is funding and who is receiving which makes it a great opportunity to hide illegal transactions, without involving any names. More over its increasing value also helps them raise their allotted funds.
And not only Bitcoin, they might use various other cryptos and also fiat.
1154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Cash is better than Bitcoin. on: June 02, 2017, 03:50:41 PM
I think bitcoin is more useful than your offline cash. Now days exchangers being deployed everywhere in the world. You don't need to have bitcoin facility from seller side. You can just put your exchanger account with your bitcoin from wallet and then pay the seller via PayPal payza or any other services. Also don't forget that you can always convert all the profits from your bitcoin to local currency and transfer it to your bank. Indirectly you will be using your bitcoins to shop and buy things.

If you are transacting online, Bitcoin is obviously better choice. But still cash is more favorable by small stalls/shops. They have to accept cash, Bitcoin is out of reach for them, they don't even have the facility to accept e-payments, such as Credit/Debit cards.
Recently in our country, wallet system is growing, but still most of them are preferring cash.
1155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Real life usage of bitcoin on: June 02, 2017, 12:14:11 PM
I use bitcoin to buy electronics devices. I bought mining PC-s with it. I bought the first one on November 2016 and with the money won from it mining, I bought second one on March and third one a few days ago. I intend to mine in a business scale, for the moment I am putting different mining PC-s in different places and keep track of them with teamviewer. I also buy occasionally games in steam and maybe gamble a bit with it. Bitcoin has truly many real life usages but the user have to use his imagination to see all the benefits of using bitcoin in real life.
very honestly in my area  we have only the facility to use bitcoin to recharge our mobile balance, we do not have any other user of bitcoin. but we can use it in so many places for online shopping, in fact i am living in a backward area of my country, and i do not think that in my area the number of bitcoin users may be more that 5, so  i think it can also be the reason that we cannot use bitcoin in local shops because he shopkeepers even do not have any idea about it. therefore they are not accepting bitcoin for shopping.

Kind of same here, there are no local shops, even towards bigger cities, who accepts Bitcoin. Moreover our government has made some speculation, which keeps people in fear who are newbie or wants to indulge with cryptocurrencies. Our local Bitcoin exchange supports recharge of mobiles and all.

But among friends its common to use them. And about online services, I am happy to be able to use BTC.
1156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin overcome Paypal? on: June 01, 2017, 06:35:42 PM
We cannot say if yes or not but for me i think yes because so many people or users use bitcoin and it so convenient when paypal and bitcoin is combined.

True, Bitcoin and PayPal are combined and can not be compared. They will exist both, because they are two different directions.
well to be honest they are not different at all  when you think about it. Both of them allows sending money from one person to another, both of them uses online currency to send over fiat (usually). The only fact that is different between them is that paypal needs third party in order to operate and bitcoin does not. That's why bitcoin is much better than paypal is and that's why it is going to become bigger soon.

Obviously their general purpose or usage are of same kind, but if Bitcoin cannot control their increasing fees, it will someday overtake Paypal fees.
And also it security shall be considered and Paypal provides a good Buyer Protection service.

But ofcourse if you know the seller or sending to your friends and family, currently Bitcoin is a far better choice. If BTC improves more and curbs fees to some extent, it will really be unstoppable.

England did well, broke a record of highest chasing win. England started slow, but consistently maintained their game, loved it.
Tomorrow quite a big game between neighboring countries, Australia vs New Zealand. Cannot say anything, but I think and want Australia to win this match.
1158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2017 Football Summer Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 01, 2017, 10:53:32 AM
Arsenal after officiating Wenger for another 2 years, seems to have a budget of at least 115M for the next market session.
Arsenal is pointing to these players: Lacazette, Lemar, Mpabbè, Bacca, Mahrez

Recently news are also about Onyekuru as well. Lemar and Mahrez can turn out beneficial if Arsenal can sign them in.
It seems Wenger is targeting to win the next season, its good to see. This will increase competition and the games will be enjoyable.

get some problem.

I get 1 referal and its writed "1" on my referal list. But after 1-2 hour. The referal its gone. I thought he deleted his account but after i check, it doesnt feature called "Delete Account" on setting.

Hope it will fixed asap.

the most likely case is you selfreferred and it got detected by the casino and your pseudoref got deleted
but hey it is just an assumption,there could me many more reasons as to why you ref is not displayed anymore
maybe he didn't wager at all to register as an active ref or tried to cheat the site and got deleted

If his account is detected for selfreferring, I guess that his account has been blocked already. In fact, his account is still active and he knows that his referral is gone so I think it is not about self-referring but a small glitch on the site.
Active or inactive referrals should not be deleted, no reasons for a site to delete inactive referrals as the referrals may wager in the future.
OP came here and he did not replied to this comment of the member. They have to take care of the issue so we all know about that what is happened to the member's referral and so we will prevent us from that issue in the future.

Might be he is busy in solving the issues and also other activities, give some time or also contacting the support gives faster response from my experience. Hope he will solve the issues.
1160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: May 31, 2017, 04:45:40 PM
Yes it's not easy. Although Gambling doesn't seem like the regular addictions like Cigarettes and drugs etc... but it's a heavy physiological addiction and the need for it for some might be the same like cigarettes to others.. You would need serious effort and if possible, some friends help and social activity to leave it.

For gambling is difficult because if it is addicted it means gambling has become addictive, where when something has become addicted will be difficult to abandon, because we are accustomed to do that, and when we do not do it, we feel like there is less. Habits may disappear, but we have to find something to do in order to fill the time we normally fill in our habits.

Yup, to overcome addiction, one might have to replace his activity with something else which will be of similar interest like gambling or the nature of addiction. Or else it would be quite tough to give up any kind of addiction. Though it also depends on the individuals mindset and also his mental strength. If determination is too strong, its not a big issue.
