I never played at OneHash. Biggest win is like 0.03BTC only. I just lucky that day. But then again I went back and lost half so I stop. 2 hours of playing and you won is not bad after all. Just don't be greedy because if you do, you will loss everything eventually in the long run.

Still wonder who among those who got their bitcoin free when it starting are still holding their Bitcoin,but we will not know unless post their story about their Bitcoin being one of the early adopters,yeah it's indeed surprising how Bitcoin has become over the years.

My friend told me that in the past when the price of bitcoins was too low there were many faucet sites that were paying huge amount of bitcoins after every 15 minutes so people who have managed to earn at that time and still holding would have become millionaire by now.

Don't believed your friend mate. And I doubt that those claiming faucets before can be millionaires by now. Maybe your friend has other means of earning bitcoin before but faucet, nah, I don't think so. If your friend said mining, yeah they should be millionaires by now.

As I have said before, for me saving bitcoin as investment for long term is a good choice for everyone. Why? Because bitcoin gives you that flexibility to save it as store of value. Then if you need money, then you can easily take hold of it, sell, then make the conversion to USD. For me this is the main advantage of having storing it for a long time.

This is it.

Cleveland Cavaliers sweep Indiana Pacers via 106-102 win. Lebron James and Kyrie Irving combined with 61 points. Kudos to Indiana Pacers. They really gave Cavaliers a nice defense to the last 4 minutes until the end. From double digit lead, Pacers able to get up and bring the score to a close one. What an effort.

With their elmination, I think this will be the last time we can see Paul George at Indiana Pacers wearing their jersey. Stay tuned as he is one of the hotter player on trade rumor next season.

Its a hard earned swept by Cleveland Cavaliers. For the most part, though, it was Lebron James and Kyrie Irving trying to hold things togethe. D Williams with 14 points, was the only other Cavaliers player in double figures. As for Paul George, this is one of his worst game in the series with just 15 points.
11225  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Reason Bitcoin will always be #1 on: April 23, 2017, 08:23:42 PM
Bitcoin will always be #1 because its the first crypto-currency that truly revolutionize how online payment platform should be. Anon, fast(?)de-centralized and now going global. Japan has proven it by getting it legal in their country so its going be mass adopted by other countries as well. No other alt-coins can matched bitcoin popularity.
11226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is winning the Race - Bitcoin or Paypal? on: April 23, 2017, 07:47:14 PM
Paypal is still leading the race in terms of online payment transaction but bitcoin is not far behind. But bitcoin has the possibility to overtake payment in a few years because bitcoin is going global and mass adopted soon. And people will learn about it being anon and fast(?) so they are going to shift to bitcoin.

Houston Rockets Vs Oklahoma City Thunder

I am still not convinced by Thunder's home win in Game 3 of the playoff. Thunder was trailing by more than 10 points at one point of the game and yet Rockets only lost by 2 points in the end. Thunder are more reliant on Westbrook than Rockets on Harden. You can see that Thunder only managed to win because they were playing at home and yet Rockets made it close. Rockets played better than Thunder in the regular season so I am going for Rockets +1.5.


This is actually one of the more exciting matchups this first round because of the russ/harden story and who's more deserving of the season mvp plum. Though i agree with you. It seems that westbrook is the only one willing his team to victory. Perhaps harden has better teammates but someone has to really step up if okc is to push this series further. Though really, two hands up for westbrook. The guys giving it all out every single night but his teammates should be more focus on doing their part for the team instead of having westbrook rake up the stat sheet

This proved the basketball is still a 5 man team. Not one person taking over the game. Westbrook is MVP caliber but he need the whole team to provide him support. Some of this team mates are just watching him doing his thing. Instead of doing screens or trying to get rebounds after he missed a shot. They won last game, but I think Harden and Houston will take the series.
11228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: April 23, 2017, 07:19:56 PM
Well for me i will invest the half one and played the remaining half so in the mean time whether i lose i can be gain profit in my invesment abd if i win when played, well its nice that it can be x2 my money since i had many experience playing in many casino i know now what i'm doing
What if neither works out? investment and gambling both are risky. it would be good to have some sort of savings don't you think?
stick with investing only, you will make money there! gambling is just for fun.

I agree mate. That's why I said in the other thread that I would rather invest bitcoin in the long run for profit. I know that their is risk of bitcoin price going down. But I would rather put it that way than lost everything in gambling, which we all know that you can't win in the long run.
11229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lost over 12 btcs gambling on dice on: April 23, 2017, 07:10:50 PM
Thats a sad year, i just lost 100% of my coins in just 4 months
tried a mix of strategy, safe ways, risky, playing just a few times per day
but results are always the same
you lose in the end
i feel cheated
its unbelievable
know
why the house always win?
And you see people saying "it happens, you can not win in a long run"
why not? why i cant win in a long run?
why we never see a casino losing and closing the doors?
why 999999999% profiles of the top gamblers are negative?  Huh
 Undecided
but you know what i like? I like when the house eat the shit back
when someone manage to find a bug and make 6-7 digits over it  Cheesy
the house cheat, thats it



Mate we all know that we can't win in the long run then blame the house for cheating you? That's a huge amount of btc to start with, so if you think you have lost like half of it then you should probably stop.

You can't win in the long run because the house has always the advantage. It will never change. And the longer you play, the chances of you winning is getting lower and lower. I hope you learn the lesson that in gambling no one can win in the long run.
11230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you save bitcoin for fun or for future purpose? on: April 23, 2017, 07:02:58 PM
As I learned more about bitcoin and bitcoin market. I'm now inclined to save bitcoin as a store of value. So I save it as wealth or investment and let it grow for a while then will only retrieved if the condition satisfies me, like I already make a large profit from my initial investment.
11231  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Will accept Bitcoin as payment, in exchange for IT services, or managed trading on: April 22, 2017, 08:51:36 PM
Hello all - this is a bit of an experiment for me, being that Bitcoin is so new and all.  To attempt to contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem, specifically to further the perception & acceptance that Bitcoin is 'money' - I have decided to offer some services for which I'll accept Bitcoin as the method of payment.

Specifically:

  • IT Services - a lot of you may be programmers or other uber-techies.... However  my offer of service is not for programming but for more basic things... troubleshooting some software issue, configuring your network [assuming at least your Internet connection works so I can remotely access], other consultations.. I can't do everything but we can try, and if you're satisfied, you pay me Bitcoin.  I will likely use some remote access software which you would control, in order for me to configure/troubleshoot whatever your problem is
  • Managed trading - I make my living trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, I specialize in derivatives trading.  Though I cannot guarantee any results, if anyone wants to diversify some of their money into something that can allow your money to grow, you could try with me if you'd like. If we can come to an agreement and you are satisfied, you could pay me with Bitcoin.

I'll add any other services I could provide as they come to my mind, but for now these are the two fields that a) I have professional experience in b) could probably be valuable to someone out there, and c) I can do remotely, in other words for anyone, anywhere in the world, thanks to the Internet.

If you are interested in either of these services I can provide, just contact me privately and we can discuss matters further.  If we can agree and make an exchange, great.  If not - at least you've made a new Bitcoin contact/buddy!  Smiley



I'm reopening a 7 years topic, but this annoucement can be the first of this kind in the world? The first person who intented to use for real bitcoins for buyings/selling?

Interesting, this was 7 years ago. I wonder what happened to the OP now? Early adopters of bitcoin? Maybe he is rich as f*uck now and no longer offering this kind of service. LoL.

I don't know if this is a first of its kind way back then, but surely it caught all our attention.

Edit: I just read his posting history and it looks like this guy has a lot of money already. He's talking about a 6 figure amount in Bitstamp in 2013.
11232  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Africa on: April 22, 2017, 08:43:34 PM
I say probably. We still don't have a clear picture on what influence bitcoin is really in African Continent. Maybe few countries there are using bitcoin now, but we still don't know. Africa has been struggling economically in the last decade or so, I can't say if they are ready for bitcoin. Maybe we need to wait for a more years to really say that they have accepted bitcoin or not.
11233  Economy / Services / Re: 1k$ daily - free tutorial on: April 22, 2017, 08:35:59 PM
Lol. Close this thread OP the smell of sarcasm is all over this place. I doubt someone will believe you. Just share your methods here and see if what you said is true.
11234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make governments accept bitcoin? on: April 22, 2017, 08:05:30 PM
Bitcoin will never be accepted by any government because of its de-centralized in nature. What the government can do is just put a regulation on the practice of bitcoin technology. And we, users of bitcoin doesn't want to be govern by a central administration like a government of a central bank.
11235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: April 22, 2017, 07:26:16 PM
If one got lucky and won because of superstition, then there would be no casino's today. Superstition does not have any effect of you winning. It only a myth and not proven by science. Its still up to you, if you are lucky then you will win. Its pure luck that you needed.
11236  Other / Archival / Re: Do you agree with idea "Bitcoin bank" ? on: April 22, 2017, 07:15:37 PM
I agree with the idea of bitcoin bank, with the bank then bitcoin bitcoin stored into a more safe and secure, otherwise it will create a bitcoin is legal and can be used in different transactions.

Well its possible for you to keep your bitcoin safe. You don't need bitcoin banks to do it. You can control your bitcoin by keeping the private key or the seed. At least you have total control of it. You can withdraw or deposit bitcoin in your wallet as well. So for me, having a bitcoin bank is useless. It defeat the purpose of bitcoin being de-centralized.
11237  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-04-22]Billionaire Investor Has 10% of His Money in Bitcoin & Ether on: April 22, 2017, 07:09:31 PM
I like how people that were totally not into crypto have made an important shift to allocate a serious percentage of their wealth/capital into Bitcoin and Ether. It doesn't happen quite often that people move out their comfort zone to try out something new with a massive potential. I hope more money from non crypto people will flow into Bitcoin, where I aim at them taking a long term position in Bitcoin (preferably as store of value).

I think Novogratz is investing in bitcoin as store of value like you said. He had enough money, so I don't think he is going to sell it just for the profit. I also hoping that there were be a lot of people seeing bitcoin as store of value, so investing in it in for long terms seems logical for those who have a lot of money.

11239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What type of wallet do you use? on: April 20, 2017, 09:41:32 PM
I find desktop wallet convenient for me to used like electrum and its so lightweight and you don't need to download the full blockchain filesize because it uses servers which index blockchain.

11240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: April 19, 2017, 09:43:51 PM
I don’t think anyone who gambles cares about sin or not. I mean if you are religious enough to wonder if it is a sin or not than you will probably not gamble anyway, not risk anything. If you are however gambling than you probably don’t care if it is a sin or not. Its not a deal about if its sin or not, it will ruin your entertainment if you consider it.

I don't think that gambling is a sin. Its just entertainment or just for fun that's it. If you became addicted to gambling, and like stealing money to support your addiction then its a you committed a sin. But gambling should not be considered a sin if you just play for enjoyment purposes only.
