Really hope that the campaign manager finds time to pay us for this week because the situation is very dire and I could really use that money.

4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain or Banks: Which has a Better Security for Financial Transactions? on: October 22, 2018, 03:17:58 PM
I think, everyone who understands blockchain will answer that blockchain is safer, faster and very simple.

the bank will become a secondary service, and the blockchain will be a primary service, bitcoin and other altcoins will be used for all sectors of our lives in the future.
With how the ledger for Blockchain is open for anyone to see and yet so that no one is able to manipulate it, I think it’s the ideal platform for a better security transaction.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your ideal transaction fee for Bitcoin transactions? on: October 22, 2018, 03:14:41 PM
For smaller amount of bitcoin transaction, the fee should be a specefic percentage (Ex. 0.5%) of the said amount so that bitcoin can go mainstream even with small transaction. Now for bigger transaction, the percentage should gets bigger also.
I concur the transaction rate should in the future be proportional to the amount that’s being transferred so that it’s going to fair in many regards.So that there will be equality in the whole thing .

Religion is certainly a force. but I don't think it's a bad one. Religion helps many people to find their place in this world and to understand it's structure. Some people try to use religion to separate people. But it is not the religion's problem. It is people business. So blaming religion in all the bad things that happen around us is dancing in circles.
Though I am a religious person, I do believe that so many religions have brought about division in people and If you doubt me look at all the terrorism going on these days, they can be attributed to religion.

If that's the case then there is the  possibility that a virus can also be uploaded in to the brain and I shudder to think how it's going to affect the brain. And this will also lead to the theft of information by hackers as well.

Though I agree with some of the crimes on the list, I think some of them are too severe and I am talking about the jailbreak here but if in the case of a jailbreak people die then I think it will be okay for the death penalty in that scenario.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/21/health/drug-report-un-failure-intl/index.html

Woo! Now let's see some drugs become legalized here in the states.  Roll Eyes

Fake News Network aside, this is finally a subject I agree with you on. The drug war is a failure. We need legalization, standardization, and medical treatment of addiction, not criminal treatment.
In all my life, there has been only one instance where the war on drugs actually worked and it was the President of the Philippines Dueterte who was able to make it work. And I say if we really want to win the war on drugs that's the only way to.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: India to legalize gambling and sports betting on: October 22, 2018, 02:33:20 PM
~snip
And now in India this has been being considered which is good for them. It's either they can't fight with those anymore and they just have to embrace the industry so at the same time, they are going to make money out of those gambler's money.

There's big money on gambling and they are for sure going to get a lot of tax cuts there. Still they have some conditions on what games to legalize.
Then it's a win-win situation for them, and that's just the start. When a lot of businesses/casinos have started, it would still add to the funds coming from it. It's always going to be the ones who believe that prosper, even considering the risk of gambling. Just like you said, they would need to work some things out in the contracts on how they are going to go about it, but in the meantime, they should gamble. lol
For the government usually it is a win-win situation for them, they are would just give requirements and other setup of arrangements for those gambling businesses to operate. Now that gambling seems to be adopted there though with some restrictions.

I'm looking forward for the time where they will integrate and consider cryptocurrencies. As we know, crypto gambling is another big industry that they should include to be legalized.
It is and I think it's a tactic to have them illegalize gambling then up the price of making a casino, so it's, even more, a win-win situation. I'm not sure if there are bitcoin land casinos now, but I know there's a topic that I read here that a famous casino in Vegas started accepting cryptocurrency.

What I don't want, in my opinion, is that they try to control that is something for the people. The purpose that it is decentralized.
What would you expect from the government? They can make any decisions into things if they saw that it can benefit them.If they accept and legalized gambling on a particular country then its a good
thing for those gamblers out there who do play illegally or on shady ways. Government always have that win-win situation.If they saw that gambling business is on demand then they would allow it
and impose tax at the same time, then we would know on what would happen next.
There is a lot of money to be made from the legalization of gambling and sports betting and it's not surprising that the governments decision to make it legal. Because people are going to gamble whether it's illegal or not so why not make legal and get money from taxation.

Arsenal faces Leicester City at the Emirates with 9 straight wins in all competition with two losses in all competition this season whiles Leicester City have lost four games and won the other four games.  Am predicting a win for the Gunners as well as goals over 2.5 in this game.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prediction ligue 1, france football league on: October 22, 2018, 02:22:01 PM
AS Monaco are having one of the worst starts in the Ligue 1 as they once again lost to Strasbourg meaning that they have lost all their last four games and have a single win in the whole season. Henry will have a lot of work to be do before they can return to winning ways.

I'm not surprised by the current situation of As Monaco, there're no quick fixs in football, if you didn't know many managers rejected taking over As Monaco as this was a sucidial mission. Henry as a player was top class but this is coaching something he's never done before, plus in middle of a season with a team low on confidence he can only pray for a miracle.
Maybe he think that he has enough experience when he was at the Belgium national team to effectively manage AS Monaco and take them out of their slump but if cafe is not taken he is going to go straight to relegation.

^  Being at home, Mou will most likely let United play more aggressively.  I hope we get to see the same squad he deployed vs Chelsea, or at least see Mata play the AM role again and Martial on the left (which he prolly will).  Grin
I think he should stick to the exact formation that he used for the Chelsea game and I heard reports that Sanchez didn't train today which means that he will not be featuring in the game tomorrow and he should be benched until he gets his form back.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 22, 2018, 02:15:44 PM
Oh now they decide to sell Bale.  Didn't Lopetegui want to sell him and the  sign one MF and a striker, to which Perez denied?

I wonder how Real fans feel about this. 
Florentino Perez should just give the managers the freedom to do whatever they want because his intrusion to their work is not good at all. He should be like Ed Woodward and manage the financial aspect of the and let the technical team do their worl.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why shouldn’t we be concerned? on: October 21, 2018, 08:49:55 PM
I don't need to worry about this year's market decline, I am patient and still believe the market will be able to rise and grow. Although many people are panicking because of current market conditions, I remain in the belief that cryptocurrency will be able to rise and be more popular in the future.
This is undoubtedly very tiresome for lots of investors especially those who invested when the value was around $20K but if only they become a little patient am sure they are going to reap their rewards very soon. Bitcoins has currently stabilized and it won’t be sliding down again for a very long time.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC payment only? on: October 21, 2018, 08:46:52 PM
BTC is actually not very practical for payments and transactions for 2 reasons :

* High transaction costs
* Slow confirmation times
The reason for the high transaction costs and slow confirmation times is because of the block size which is very small and thus makes the network congested with unconfirmed transactions which drives the costs up,
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best place to live if you are a Bitcoiner? on: October 21, 2018, 08:40:58 PM
I think I would like to live in Canada, the Netherlands or Japan. Here cryptocurrency is very well developed and has no restrictions on the territory of these countries.
Since the Chinese government ban on crypto currencies, Japan has become the haven for bitcoins and anything crypto currency in the entire world and with the last level of technological advancement in that country, it’s definitely the place to be.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US Senate hearings on Bitcoin on: October 21, 2018, 08:38:56 PM
I watched the whole discussion from the beginning till the end; the hearing was mainly focused on ICOs and global financial markets in payments. I was expecting much from Coinbase representative to speak more in favor of cryptocurrencies.
One might agree with Roubini on some of his stances against cryptos especially about the pump and dump method that people are using to get rich on the backs of others. But it seems all his negativity didn’t amount to much.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: October 21, 2018, 08:33:29 PM
Even the very rich are always eager to make money and they are very wise not to throw away a lot of money because of entertainment whiles there are numerous ways of entertaining yourself without losing a lot of money in the process. When people gamble it’s all about the money. It’s their primary concern and maybe entertainment or fun comes later.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Europa League/Champions League Lounge on: October 21, 2018, 08:29:22 PM
Though Manchester United are not playing very well at the moment they are still a powerhouse in European football and their game against Juventus is going to be very good to watch as long as Jose Mourinho doesn’t play defensively the whole game.
