Bitcoin Forum

Nowadays many people in our country are addicted to gambling. I have seen many people losing their huge amount in most of the gambling games. If all those people can be informed about bitcoin, how to earn money in bitcoin? I think they would have invested in Bitcoin and they could have made money from it.Besides, if they can discuss about Bitcointalk in detail, then I think they will learn about Bitcointalk besides investing in Bitcoin. In this, the person addicted to gambling could stay away from gambling besides earning money.

One thing to remember, I'm not criticizing gambling. I'm just sharing my opinion. thank you

Take note also that there lot of gambling that use Bitcoin to gamble  :D (I can relate) but some of these people we can't call gambling addicts.

To be honest, this good idea, if they bought Bitcoin to use it for gambling, they should just keep it and not touch or use it for gambling. It's kinda related to saving fiat currency and not touching it or use for gambling.

Gamblers and investors, traders are different types of people and you can not ask a gambler to be an investor. Some people will do both trading, investing and gambling but I implied about pure traders, pure investors and pure gamblers.

Gamblers are greedy and want to get rich quickly and see exponential growth curve of their asset with gambling. Asking them to wait months or years to get profit from investment sounds very stressful with them. Asking them to learn about trading, spend time in the market to get profit from trading is too much, they don't want to do so many things like such.

You can only advise those gamblers to reduce their gambling and aim at stop gambling entirely but it wont't be easy and they only can stop gambling if they are very serious and usually after they get rekted by gambling.

Gambling responsible is not easy to do for all gamblers.

          Well, depending on the point of view and the situation that the person is in, because it may be that the individual is in a controllable stage, or it may also be that he is in a stage of uncontrollable "vice". It's a good idea, but as I understand it, the main benefit would be that it will allow the person to leave the game and use or invest that time to earn money with bitcoin... as the colleague says GranArkansas :           There are people who only play as a hobby but if that person is very deep in that world I doubt they want to get out of it, as you yourself say they are "Addicted", It is encouraging to see that you care about those who are addicted to the game and seek effective ways help. It is true that investing in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin can present financial opportunities, but we must also consider the risks involved, such as: Affecting the mental and emotional well-being of the person and could even intensify their addiction.
          I think… in my opinion that, Instead of encouraging gambling “addicts” to invest in bitcoins, the first step is to provide them with support and access to specialized treatment programs. You may be able to overcome your addiction and achieve a healthy balance in your life with the help of these types of programs. Clearly it is not an easy task, but perhaps as improvements are seen or that addiction is overcome, it would be the exact moment to apply that excellent idea that you bring ;).

Gamblers are generally not interested in investments like Bitcoin or stocks. They basically want to either win or lose instantly and move on. Hence why they go to the casino or buy scratch off tickets.

No gambler wants to buy Bitcoin today and wait 5 years for it to double. Trading in general has little to do with gambling. Most people that buy stocks do it for their retirement account because they get some benefits. Are they considered gamblers? Obviously not.

At the core, it seems to be about replacing a high-risk activity (gambling) with another high-risk activity (cryptocurrency investment). Although, on the surface, both share similarities like the potential for big wins, they are inherently different in their operation and implications.

Bitcoin investment, unlike gambling, is not based purely on chance. It requires an understanding of economic principles, market trends, and risk management. While this knowledge can be acquired, the same personality traits that lead to compulsive gambling might exacerbate risky behaviors in cryptocurrency trading.

Not really. Trading, the more short-term and less informed it is, the more it resembles gambling.


Yes, but as I have just said there are also people who trade with little knowledge.

The fact is that they have a certain resemblance and recommending bitcoin as a way out of gambling is not a solution. Buying bitcoin in the long term is not going to take the gambler's mind off gambling, and short-term trading is too similar and can lead to the same type of addictive behaviour and to losing money just as much or more.

I don't think that's a good idea. They want fast profits, they will just lose money in Bitcoin at some point and nothing will change. Gambling should be treated, not just moved to other things.

Gambling addicts usually don’t have the patience to make an investment. These people gamble because they wants to see the results immediately. Bitcoin may return great profits in a year or two but these people can’t wait that long. At best they can wait a week or a month but we all know that making an investment doesn’t work that way. Investors wait year, sometimes decades to get a meaningful return on their investments. I don’t see gamblers having that kind of patience.

Well maybe if the players slowed down a bit and used those earnings to invest, it would help them in a certain way, but I also understand why they do it it's a means by which you can win almost immediately when you learn it  the strategies and you are very lucky, I would say that this advice could be directed more to those who bet with fiat currency, to them I would encourage them to invest instead of wasting their time on it but... there are also those people who play their games using bitcoin, and if these are seen from another perspective besides "game", it could be said that it would be a way to obtain more bitcoin quickly and with the same risk that would be taken with investments in this currency, which they include a bit of time and the possibility of losing too…..I think that in the latter case whether it would be worth it  a bit….

Lmao I think we're better off having them to have good stable jobs and fix their mindsets rather than letting them immediately jump into a speculative and volatile asset.


Lol traders who don't know crap about what they're doing are pretty much gamblers. Gambling isn't only applicable when talking about casinos.

Well that's a good proposition but don't expect gamblers to quit gambling just because they have invested in Bitcoin. Gambling is a habit which forms an addiction. Just like cigarette is smoked when the body needs nicotine. Similarly, gamers need adrenaline rush, it's not always about making money.  So investing in Bitcoin can't keep them away from gambling in any way. So they will have to take it as an investment which may fetch them some income when the time is right. Don't expect anything else.

Bitcoin is money > one of the ways to earn money in bitcoin spcace is gambling.

And fortunately bitcointalk respects the freedom of bitcoiner interests, the forum provides facilities for gambling lovers, here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0

You are wrong, gambling addicts should first get a therapist and financial consultant. Bitcoin can't help them get out of the gambling loop naturally.

Gamblers, mostly those gambling addicts, all they want is to gamble; for sure, they don't want to invest in bitcoin, even though they know it. Some gamblers use Bitcoin as their payment method to gamble on specific websites. Those gambling addicts really want to play and feel the emotions while playing it, unlike investors, who wouldn't feel it and for sure are not interested in it.

I have a few friends who invested in Crypto currencies, but they are also hooked on gambling. So, they will buy Crypto currencies and as soon as their money runs out, then they start dipping into their hoard.

The only way to stop gambling, will be self exclusion and then to get medial help for their gambling problem. Leave the advice for the professionals, because they know how to deal with addiction.  ;)

I don't think your idea is something that could work: people who gamble all the time have a serious problem, it's actually an addiction, they do it because they need to in a certain way. Bitcoin is not gambling, there is a lot of study behind it and I don't think that someone who likes to gamble would actually care to learn about bitcoin, it's too much work.

People who love gambling often like to risk their money. They care about the here and now. I doubt that you will find a gambler who is willing to wait several years to make a profit. On the other hand, Bitcoin lovers in general are people who know how to plan their actions, and I think that they are completely different in their type of temperament from gamblers. But of course, in both cases, there is a risk, but it is better when the risk is justified and people approach it with their own strategy.

Gambling addicts don't invest. If you give them money or crypto, they will just spend it in the casino.
Gambling addiction is a serious issue, which needs long term treatment and help from friends and family.
Thinking that you could miraculously cure gambling addicts by teaching them how to invest is simply delusional.
Bitcoin is NOT a way to earn money. Bitcoin is a financial asset/currency. I guess that you are talking about finding a job in the cryptocurrency industry as a way to earn money. I will have to disappoint you, but most gambling addicts don't have good skills and qualifications and no employer in the world would hire a person, that has an addiction.

Look at the what you said "addicted gambler" an addict are will always be carried away with his gambling activities and will use whatever kind of funds that he has fiat or cryptocurrency to gamble just to satisfy his emotion by chasing his loss. I have read of a forum member who out of boredom decided to kill time with gambling and before he knew it,he was unable to control himself and used all his bitcoin for gambling which he came here and tell us about his actions. This is how it will also happen to a gambler who is introduced to crypto,online casinos has made it easy for him to enjoy his gambling activities because they use cryptocurrency for gambling. It is hard for someone who is not a gambler to be able to hold his bitcoin investment portfolio for long,because that person is not used to savings or didn't plan a good strategy to enable him hold for long. Talk more of an addicted gambler.

This is a cryptocurrency platform meaning people are very much aware of bitcoin, but trying to solve peoples gambling problems with telling them to redirect those Bitcoins to investments isn't practical as this just delays their gambling habits!

But if we ask ourselves, what makes people gambling addicts? I think it has to do with fast profits that come from gambling 🎰  which can't be gotten from anywhere else and investments don't fit their money making profile as these take forever to be realized! But then again if you think about it, the reason we have too many people gambling is because of the ever advancing technology, these portable devices we have and the ease to jump on these platforms without much restrictions makes it a recipe for disaster and minors too are gambling...which is why parents and guardians need to be proactive to see what their kids are doing.

I beg to differ, this is easier said than done...investments are not an easy undertaking...people can have problems along the way that needs an immediate address and they can cash out these investments to sort out such issues, or price volatility can make one to bailout and try something else as profits won't be seen immediately... tbh investments arent meant for everyone !

I think he's talking about the gambling addicts for the physical casinos that accept fiat payments only and don't have idea about bitcoin or crypto.But there are many crypto casinos these days but those who are addicted to it already know they can invest that money but they can't control themselves.Investing needs patience to get to the actual profits but they are interested in gambling more to make fast profits even after they are losing money.We can try to motivate them but they also need strong mind to support themselves.

Not just Bitcoin but also altcoins too, I am a gambler, I am into mostly Roulette and Slots but I have made much more money from altcoin investments between the 2022 bear market till now, and what I've made from gambling is not even close to half of what I've made from few altcoins so far, I think OP is right, if you can gamble with altcoins you will make more money than gambling but we all like having fun in different ways so I am in no way going to discourage anyone not to gamble, there is money in gambling too if you are lucky.

Gamblers require quick money, which they cannot obtain through Bitcoin investment because the market is unpredictable.
To benefit from Bitcoin investment, one must hold it for an extended amount of time before selling it, whereas gamblers cannot wait so long to make money, so they cannot hang on to their Bitcoin investment.
If they really want a large return on investment in a short period of time, I believe Altcoins and some shitcoins may be a viable option for them to gamble on.

I don't think bitcoin is a good coin to gamble with. The price of Bitcoin is not volatile as other altcoins, so you might not make money within a short period. Gamblers are motivated by quick money and bitcoin hardly gives such an opportunity. To make money from bitcoin, you have to hold the coin for some time until the price goes up. Addiction is not good behavior, so I don't even encourage anyone to be addicted to even investing in bitcoin. Bitcointalk is a good place to get information about Bitcoin but you should also do your research from other sources.
Even as an altcoin gambler, there should be self-control. Addiction to altcoin gambling will still not be good for his finance because he might not make investments decision based on knowledge but because of his uncontrollable drive to gamble. Buying and selling altcoin for profit might be better than gambling but it should be done moderately because too much of everything is bad. Advising Op to switch to altcoin is a good one but helping him to control his drive from quick money will be better.

It's difficult to get the attitude of gambling away from someone who's addicted because they see everything also as useless until they are left with nothing they began to regret their actions but changing their mindset before introducing them to Bitcoin investment will be a better way of helping them invest in Bitcoin instead of wasting their funds gambling on daily basis. Take note, before you convince them to leave gambling to invest in Bitcoin, ensure they don't see Bitcoin investment as some money doubling scheme so they don't end up being disappointed when they don't make quick profit and also help them to get knowledge before they invest so they don't end up investing without proper knowledge that's another kind of gambling you know?

Buying bitcoins, and HODLing it is no fun. You have to restrict and hold back yourself from many financial temptations and wants that will want you to spend. It can even get boring unlike gambling, that is all fun even though people loose money from it. It will be easier to tell a gambling addict to try to also have some investments in bitcoins while they gamble, than telling them never to gamble again but then start focusing on only investing in bitcoins.

It took a long time and it involved a lot of people. Family support and a psychologist will probably help him. In addition, the main factor is the will from within. There are many ways but not all are effective. But if gambling makes you more devastated, then you should be more aware because you will live hard. Turning gambling addiction into crypto investing is also not easy. But sometimes gamblers who know crypto sometimes think more and have a clear plan and discipline. Sometimes even crypto enthusiasts do gambling just for entertainment.

There is a difference between a gambler and a gambling addict. It's not actually bad to talk to a gambler about bitcoin investment. But not to a gambling addict, because gambling addicts are impatient and unpredictable, they don't have the time to wait for their Bitcoin investment to yield meaningful returns. Some of them go as far as selling their personal properties just to gamble, so how do you expect such a person to be a Bitcoin investor? An addict might wake up one money, withdraw his investment and use it to gamble. It is only when the person has genuinely repented and turned from his ways, then can talking about bitcoin investment makes sense.

If a gambler wants to be an investor, they can do it with stocks, gold...or any other form of investment. Your idea makes me feel that you are looking at bitcoin as another form of gambling than an investment. Gamblers and investors are completely different, I don't think your idea will get the gambler's approval. Because gamblers just want to make quick money while bitcoin is a long term investment, how can you encourage them to give up gambling and switch to investing?

This is not a good idea, it may seem easy to just convince people to use the money they dedicated to one activity to another, but this is not so simple especially if we are talking about an addiction, even if you could convince those people to invest in bitcoin then they will just find a way to gamble with bitcoin on the markets, with this in mind it is better to not skip the necessary steps to help those people, so at first they need to stop their compulsive gambling on their own, understand why this is wrong, receive help, remain clean for months and years, explain how bitcoin and this market works to them and only then they could be ready to take the responsibility to invest in this market.

Gambling  addicts also using a Bitcoin with their gambling games we are a in the web 3 right now so not only with the bitcoin but also with the other coins they can use as their investment. Actually most of the gambling casino still using the way of amount of the bitcoin for example the deposit is in BTC and not in the dollar currencies so if the market goes up or even down their coins may varies and not fix as dollar rate I've seen this a lot so they can use their money as investment while playing gambling. Seems the perspective the same as their investment

People who want quick profits will not be interested in investing. Inviting them to switch to investing will be a tough obstacle especially since they are already addicted gamblers so the assumption that inviting is not the best idea is also not wrong because investing in Bitcoin requires a long period of time.

To save them from having a heavy addiction, motivating them by introducing Bitcoin is good in my opinion by providing a positive understanding of Bitcoin.
With Bitcoin they can at least do day trading if the knowledge is sufficient for them to do so that their time is no longer on gambling.

Bitcointalk can't solve gambling addiction problems and bitcointalk isn't the right place to look for money to solve your problem if you lack money. Don't promise any individual that they can make money by joining the forum. They can make money by investing in Bitcoin but it'll not solved their addiction problem. Bitcoin has no attachment like money and this might make them gamble more with Bitcoin as it's very comfortable betting on crypto casino.

Before introducing any gambler to investing in Bitcoin, make sure they're no longer an addict. If you don't do that then they'll be using the profits they got from Bitcoin to gamble and if hey're an extreme addict, they might use the capital that was invest in Bitcoin to gamble.

Investing in altcoins is considered a gamble, but investing in it also requires a lot of knowledge and experience, even more knowledge of investing in altcoins than bitcoin. So it can also be a barrier for gamblers because they are people who are not hard working and diligent in acquiring knowledge and taking the time to learn. But given what you've been through, it shows that investing in altcoins isn't as bad as many people are going viral, and I don't really hate altcoins either. To be fair, investing in altcoins today offers better returns than bitcoin, but many are denying it.

Let's just know that many of these people that are involved in gambling and bet and lose always are also aware of Bitcoin investment and other businesses that may bring them profit in the future, but due to their eagerness for instant profits they think that they will be making, they decided to choose gambling ahead of Bitcoin investment and other opportunities with less risk. So just believe that even if you try to convince them, they may never listen to someone because their quick way is to make money.
 
Gambling suppose to be seen as funny but not a way of getting rich, but many people see it as a way they can become rich, so with that mentality, they put more faith in the belief that one day they will make it through gambling.
 
I have seen someone betting throughout a season and did  not win even once, and when I try to tell him if he had invested all the money he wasted on gambling in bitcoin, how much did he think he could have invested in bitcoin by now and the profits he will make in future, he says that he prefers short-term profits. Let know that some people have Bitcoin but they are still selling it to gamble despite knowing it will bring them profit in the future. Let know that is not everyone you can convince to leave gambling and to start invest in Bitcoin.

It's easy as it may seem. If you're trying to advocate investing in Bitcoin for these gambling addicts, there's no assurance that they'd listen to you. I am sure that there have been other people that were concerned with them and gave them advice but, they never listened to anybody.
Much better is just to let remind them of what's good for them but don't force them to do something that they don't wanna do. It's good that you're spreading that investing in Bitcoin is good but, you're unsure if they might like the idea of it.

Those people won’t listen to you, according to me. As they are gambling in order to make money in a shorter period of time. So if you ask them to invest in bitcoins, they will simply deny it. Investments aren’t about quick returns. Hence, they will treat bitcoin investments as any other sort of investment. You need to make them realise the importance of bitcoins and how they have risen from 0. Once they see the profit in this, they will only invest a small amount in bitcoins. Moreover, don’t forget that Bitcoins are also used for gambling in many crypto casinos.

Most gamblers using crypto are also investing in Bitcoin, this is what I have noticed around me, few people that I knew are into crypto investment are also into crypto gambling, it's doable and it can also be called risk diversification, if one doesn't work the other will benefit.

It's also the same in my own case, I do gambling few times in a month and I still keep accumulating crypto projects and Bitcoin, I am opened to all kind of risks but gambling isn't investment, it's about trying your luck and it's fun.

If gambling isn't fun then you are passing your budget boundaries, you are using money you are not ready to lose or you are chasing a bigger goal, to me it's feels wrong.

Anything that deals with luck needs to be approached with minimal risk play.

If someone struggles with a gambling addiction, this person might need professional help. If not, an activity to substitute gambling can be good, but I don't think that investing in Bitcoin is a good option. Firstly, gambling is often about getting fast results, while Bitcoin investment isn't. You bet some money and get a fast result, learning whether you won or lost the bet. Then you do it over and over again. Buying Bitcoin like that, using small amounts and many iterations, can look as suspicious financial behaviour and cost a lot in fees. Also, there's no immediate result, as the price simply fluctuates.
Secondly, a big part of the problem with gambling is losing money, which is why I believe that investing in Bitcoin is a bad option. If a person is just buying and buying without being willing to sell, it's basically lost money. Not to mention that Bitcoin can be in the bear market for a long time.

The way to make money in Bitcoins is to encourage them to learn to trade or invest where they only need to buy Bitcoins over a certain period. If gamblers could divert their money to trade or invest in Bitcoin, they might get bigger profits than playing gambling.

But it won't be easy to impart knowledge or introduce Bitcoin to addicted gamblers. And instead, they can use Bitcoin to gamble in the hope of having more Bitcoin from their winnings. The first thing to do is open their horizons to other ways they can use to make money. But it takes a process until they realize that looking for other ways to make money is better than gambling.

They can distract themselves from gambling and find new activities from trading and investing. And they will also find more opportunities to make money.

No mate, plenty of gamblers wants to invest in Bitcoin but the other thing that stopped them from investment or draged them back from investment is because gambling sites nowadays also use Bitcoin as payment methods, just imagine the fact that a gambler has BTC that Worth's $100 and the same gambler lost $500 from gambling he/she will inventualy sell he's/her coin to gamble again because he thinks he can get back his loses from gambling.
Weldone OP, you did well by motivating a gamble addict to invest in Bitcoin

After all, gambling and cryptocurrencies are not the same thing. If a person cannot control himself, then he will probably not succeed in trading. In gambling, the result is immediately visible, while in trading it takes time, and sometimes a lot of time.
The idea is not bad, I think in some cases it can work

Gambling and Bitcoin investment may be confused. Gambling is addicting, while Bitcoin investing is strategic. It demands knowledge of both blockchain and the financial world. Frequent minor investments raising suspicion and hefty costs can be minimized. Research and choosing a competent trading platform helps reduce these concerns. Bitcoin "losing money" may be oversimplified. Though unpredictable, the cryptocurrency market has seen huge long-term profits. Hodling, or holding Bitcoin, has often yielded large gains in crypto.

Haven't you seen a gambler who sold their house to gamble and also haven't you seen people selling off their cars and personal property to gamble?
What then now makes you feels they won't still sell of their bitcoin if they invested it, well if you must know a gambler I say an addicted gamblers doesn't know how precious their property is when they are addicted to gambling because is easily to sell it off their belongings whenever they are in the mode to gamble.

Besides there are also online gambler who deposit BTC to those site to gamble, are you still telling us that such person as an addicted gambler won't still touch his investment of bitcoin to gamble with some fractions?
In general, gambling addiction is like a disease that refuses all medications, in some cases it takes time to be healed otherwise anyone who finds themselves in such condition may be hard to be controlled.

It is possible that finding new hobbies can make someone switch from gambling to investing.

but this can happen if the person really intends to leave the world of gambling. thus allowing them to look for hebits that can make money and investing in bitcoin is one of them.
so as long as someone has no intention of stopping gambling they will still play gambling even though they have found a new habit. Especially now that there are several sites that can pay via bitcoin, this can make it possible for even someone who has stopped will be tempted to return to gambling.

If you really want to really leave gambling and switch to investing, then stop your gambling activities, stop coming to the casino, control your emotions and finances and block all gambling sites. After you have successfully done this, all you have to do is focus on your investment, understand it and continue to analyze the market to minimize losses and increase the chances of getting profits.

It's hard to describe the color black to a blind person, that's for example convincing a gambling addict to make money investing in Bitcoin. There are many cases that occur among gambling addicts, they will do everything they can to make money to fulfill their desire to gamble. Often they sell assets to be able to gamble, it is possible that they will also sell Bitcoin if it is related to a habit that has become a staple food for them.

People who join Bitcointalk can't be separated from gambling, but the people who are here can still control themselves in gambling. Part of the money generated from the BTC Paid Signature Campaign will be allocated for gambling, then some will be used for other needs or for investing. Your opinion is very good for active gamblers to apply, but the facts that are happening on the ground are quite the opposite.

How sure you are that they are going to leave gambling and just invest their money in Bitcoin, that's no way to discourage gamblers to stop gambling, they will even continue to gamble more when they found out through you that they can play online using Bitcoin.

You cannot stop them from gambling and you will end up introducing Cryptocurrency casinos, maybe it is a good idea to introduce Bitcoin to gamblers through online Cryptocurrency casinos but you cannot shift from gambling to investors but they can be both.
Gamblers will always gamble until they realized that they are having too much of it and they are losing everything, they should have the effort to stop gambling

There is a catch, addicted gamblers are addicted because they have a plan all along, they want to make it in life taking the short cut route and brother, I believe you of all people should know that Bitcoin investment is a long term play, gamblers don't believe in such, maybe a few of them did but if majority of them believe that something like Bitcoin can change their lives in future I believe they won't become an addict to gambling.

It's going to be a tough work to confuse an addict to start accumulating Bitcoin, it's going to be like you are putting them in a suffering position.

A true successful Bitcoin investor believes in Bitcoin that's why they accumulate with their hard earned money, and apart from this, they do it for years, it takes a very well patience person to do this, addicted gamblers aren't one of them people.

How sure are you that they will made money if they would've invested their money into Bitcoin? Investing into Bitcoin = gambling if they don't know it. Yes we can inform them as well, but the question is, are they interested in learning it? There is a potential that they can earn money investing into Bitcoin yes, but do they like it? Or they would just prefer gambling their money. Like you, we also so lots of people losing their money in gambling as well.

We have a neighbor who got addicted into gambling as well, and now he's having a hard time sustaining his daily needs, and it came also to a point where he needs to beg to other people just to have something to eat.

Like what I said, joining this forum would be useless if they aren't interested in Bitcoin at all. If they are then they can join here, do research, and learn. There are lots of information here where they can learn anything about Bitcoin. On the other hand though, joining here in the forum doesn't guarantee that they will stay away from gambling.

With what you said, you're not criticizing gambling at all so no worries.
TBH, gamblers can become investors as well, so they can still gamble, but at the same time invest into Bitcoin. That's if they are rich. Maybe there are some gamblers out there who don't care about losing money because they're happy just by doing their hobby which is to gamble.

The "get rich quick" syndrome is part of the issue rather than betting for good reasons. Bitcoin won't make such people rich over night so they may not be attracted to it or stay long enough. This is why it's never a good idea to attract them to Bitcoin or even this forum for money, unsupervised.
First of all, let them know about the ideas behind Bitcoin, and where Bitcoin enthusiasts, fans, supporters, etc tend to gather to talk Bitcoin, and see whether they like the idea, if not, let them be else they will come & start chasing after money and gambling again in Bitcoin space instead of contributing to its growth and development.
 If you wish to help them financially, it's better to have a qualified person guide them or just manage their investments for them.
Only the disciplined ones or talented people who are passionate about Bitcoin ideals could be left in this space alone.

It must be remembered that addiction is a bad habit that is difficult to break, and when compared to gambling and investment addicts, the two are very different and it is not easy to divert gambling addicts by investing. And this will only make the gambling addict worse because he is not used to what he is doing every day, and his brain will continue to lead to gambling because he has become an addict.
and both have different ways of working so we can judge whether it works.
Gambling: To play in any game of chance to gamble, to gamble or bet money, or anything else of value, on the outcome of something involving chance. And if they become addicts they will continue to do so without control which will make them even more miserable.
Investing: Using money, through a purchase or spending, in something that offers a favorable return and this is not for short-term gain such as gambling or a short period of time. Because to get good profits they have to do it in the long term with patience and knowledge.

and it's a conflicting habit that I don't find easy or hard unless you're recovering from an addiction.

Your idea is great in fact, there must be many gamblers who might have left gambling due to the unpredicted risk it contains and addiction to gambling is the worst thing to happen to someone because it changes the lives of addicts. I agree with you, because if we taught them about BTC and how they can earn money through trading then they will definitely leave gambling and step into it. But you must know that there are many gambling sites in crypto too. Which might attract them instead of their good guidance. we might have provided them with another platform to gamble.

Which of course, is the opposite of what we wanted. So, to assure the shift of their interest toward BTC and Crypto we have to teach them and should lead them towards it directly. So that they would not fall prey to all the phishing and High return projects and Gambling projects.

I do not think the knowledge of bitcoin talk is that necessary because to be here you do not have to get knowledge about bitcoin talk as we know BTT is not a computer that we have to learn before usage but instead, it is a book that contains useful information about crypto and BTC.

But in fact, if the gambler is informed about bitcoins, maybe he will use bitcoins to deposit on gambling sites. Now there are many gambling sites that use bitcoins and altcoins. They don't need kyc so it's safer. Maybe, gambling addicts don't stop, they can even get more addicted :D

What do you mean about making money on forums about campaign signatures? Yes it is true but gambling addicts don't want money, all they have in their heads are jackpots and jackpots. Even though they already have a lot of money when they hit the jackpot, the money will run out again in the next game. It is very difficult to stop a gambling addict

However, if gambling addicts feel comfortable joining this forum, there may be other benefits, such as: learning bitcoin, contributing to forums, participating in signature campaigns, and being able to discuss in this forum. Maybe his busy life can make his gambling addiction slowly stop

You are right, it is always difficult to convince addicted ones to avoid an action to which they are addicted. But I think OP just wanted to say we might use BTC and Cryptocurrency as a tool to lure them into thinking that they would also earn money out of BTC but at a lesser risk as all they wanted to do is earn money by doing nothing. Because gambling and crypto have different levels of risk and gambling has the most risk involved.

Addicted gamblers will no doubt sell all of their savings and household things just to gamble more and there are many Crypto gambling projects there too, so we have to be careful while dealing with such sensitive cases. like, addicts. I think once we convinced them the benefits of investing in BTC over gambling then they might change their minds too but i know the possibilities are near to zero because only those can be cured who wanted to otherwise other gambler will just waste your time.

Gambling and Bitcoin are completely different things. The main work of investors is investing and the work of gamblers is gambling. But for the gamblers who are addicted to gambling, even though there are some obligations in gambling, it is completely different. But there is no assurance that you will get profit from investing in Bitcoin. On the other hand, there is no gambler who will win or lose in gambling. observing both of the two aspects a gambler and investor must prioritize what he wants.

There is a big difference between gambling and investing because while the investment is done with profits being the main aim,  gambling on the other hand is done mainly for cash fun,  unless for those who take gambling as a means of earning a daily income which is not possible to achieve., so for that I believe there is a mixup After all, some of the addicts can't get over the forces that control them.

For anyone to choose between the two it then means that you have to make predetermined plans for each,  it's more easier to gamble than invest because with a few cents, you may gamble but to invest one need a huge amount to buy a good amount of Bitcoin.

It has nothing to do with gambling, I think you are looking for a topic to involve the two worlds bitcoin and gambling, and!  Since we have a gambling board in the forum, you create the soup, excuse me, the topic.

If these guys of your idea are addicted and switch to trading, there is no difference, or let's say not to trading to buy bitcoin, well... surely they are obsessed with selling any belongings to buy whenever they can, and when the bitcoin goes up or down in price comes the lack of control and begins to manifest the same symptoms that you would have if they do bets.

That being said, we are entering a discussion away from this board, bitcon discussion, there is none, the fact that you target bitcon and bet in your context is not relevant to deepen, obviously there is a "reply" but to fall into the same thing, the addiction It is a disease.

This sets of people are very difficult to predict since they are routed into gambling they believe it would be more beneficial to gamble.
You know gambling may have a very big chance to hit a fortune from it than investment who might take years to yield a meaningful profits, so most gamblers may not love the idea to invest in bitcoin since is not faster way to make money.

Whatever games they play in fiat casinos, are also found in Bitcoin casinos. There is nowhere else they can go but will always be close to temptation.
But these addicts could be turned into a trader though. Its a more appropriate I think than to make them hold which they may not be able to resist the urge to bet especially if they find the games they like playing in popular casinos. Turning them into traders means they will have something to learn about and keep them occupied to learn about charts.

Although it could be a good idea and investing should really be ahead of gambling, this isn't really possible. Gamblers don't have the will or time to invest in something and wait for it to make a profit, it just takes the joy from them. The thing with gambling is that you can play many different games, gamble on different stuff and it is so flashy and attention getting, it fills the gamblers dopamine receptors so they can easily be addicted.

In any case, they get more fun out of it and they know the result of their bet almost instantly and if they win money - it just digs deeper. I think gamblers and investor are themselves for a reason, so there is no point of mixing them if they don't want to change. Also I don't think we should motivate them into anything before helping cure the addiction.

Yes you told correct, now a days many people in our country being addicted in gambling. For gambling need huge knowledge. Without proper knowledge anyone cannot gain from gambling. It is also true many people in our country lossing everything  from gambling. On the other hand Bitcoin is fully different. From Bitcoin investment people gaining from here. Many people has beed well established from here.

Yes people can easily learn about Bitcoin and gambling from bitcointalk. From Here anyone can learn easily. And it will be very helpful for take decision.

In my opinion those individuals who are involved in gambling cannot change their addiction because they feel like gambling is a quick way of earning but in reality gambling is a quick way of losing money.

If they are informed about bitcoin then first of all they will not believe and if fortunately they believe then they will put money into bitcoin without knowledge and will think as they will get profit according to their lucks like that of gambling so there will be no change in bitcoin or gambling.

Gamblers often use their emotions like if they loss money then they regularly use their money in hope to enhance their money one day so in due to this behavior they loss their whole amount of money and start borrowing money from others while that of in investment of trading emotions should be under control and after two consecutive losses first try to know your mistakes then again take forward step towards it.

Agreed, well i think then this discussion came to an end ( i know other members also shared their thoughts too which are valuable) between us only. Because it is damn difficult to safe them from gambling addiction but as i said only those addicts will be cured who really admits that they are addicts and wanted a way out of it.

And the numbers  of such addicts are considerable in the society. So, in order for them to leave the gambling they must need another way of income which might be provided by investing in BTac like maybe through holding or trading.

It will be challenging for a gambler to let go of the behavioral attitude that gambler addicts exhibit. That is greedy and hasty to earn rich.

It won't be simple to ask a gambler addict to switch from gambling to investing in Bitcoin at first since they have to let go of attributes like being greedy and wanting to become rich soon because they lose money. When people learn that investing in bitcoin involves patience to wait for profits as opposed to gambling, where they don't have to wait as long, that kind of advice will seem absurd to them.

In other words, it will be challenging to persuade a gambling addict to give up gambling. You may only advise them to reduce their attitude toward gambling. If they choose, they can invest in bitcoin

Gamblers will be gamblers though, did you know that the first use case of bitcoin is gambling itself? So for sure majority of crypto gamblers knows about bitcoin and it's history and it's potential to be a investment.

So there could be gamblers who invest here, but if you talk about gamblers in fiat, well we can't really say though, maybe they are don't know about bitcoin and crypto. But I will tell you that its hard to convince a gambler to be a investor, just saying.

So many of those people are interested in gambling not in cryptocurrency investment and especially bitcoin, gamblers believe that gambling or staking some of their money will make them get rich instantly instead of investment, I believe that some of them are not informed of bitcoin investment because its when you give someone the advantages of leaving gambling to invest in bitcoin  is when the person will be informed.

Gambling is actually very in demand and has become rampant these days. Regardless of their knowledge or skill, people go for gambling to try their luck and even chase for quick big profits. However, my only concern is that if these gamblers will be taught about bitcoin investing, which is certainly a long term investment, I don’t think they will be patient enough to wait for that long before they’ll gain massive profits. And might as well they’ll be investing like gambling in the end. But of course, some gamblers can easily shift their mindset from being a gambler into an investor. As everyone can invest, but not everyone is capable to make it succeed.

I think this just might work! Trading's a little too close to gambling anyway, just without those extra bells and whistles. So you could easily market trading as a means for these gambling addicts to redirect their desires to waste money on something that would really help them. Although what I'm concerned about is the gateway effect you know. Since trading's a little too similar to gambling, this may urge these gamblers to get back on to gambling anyway instead of learning piles and piles of learning materials just so they can trade effectively. Either way I see potential in the concept and I would love to see if people capable of making this happen will do so. Otherwise it's just going to be yet another of those ideas that we had in this forum which never really happened in real life.

There's nothing we can do about it since those gamblers wouldnt really be having other thing in mind but to gamble and also it would be better that you should not mind on what they are doing with their funds or money.
Its theirs and its their full control on what they should gonna do on which it would really be just that normal that they would really be doing on what they do like.It is really just that sad that they havent been able to realize on what are the things which would really be worth when it comes to income making but if those amounts are really that intended for gambling then it should be fine. Its none of our business if they would really be
spending that way because its our full rights on how we do spend it. It is really just that a waste but well if you do have lots of money or income source then those people would not really mind at all.

This is a very good idea and I'm implementing it now. I also have experience with gambling, indeed when we are addicted, our minds will always go there and hope to win and win and win, while defeat is right in front of our eyes, when we lose, no matter what activity we want to do there will be no enthusiasm because we want to continue gambling with a target. win.

It is indeed very difficult for people who are addicted to gambling to switch to bitcoin investment because bitcoin takes a long time to get profits while gambling can get profits instantly. To be honest, this is what I'm experiencing right now, so I'm very grateful to be able to get to know this forum at least my gambling activity can be reduced because I spend a lot of time here. Even though there are also many gambling services on this forum, at least my mindset has changed, before looking for instant profits, but now I can control myself when I gamble and make it just a hobby.

Well, Bitcointalk happens to be another platform housing a lot of gamblers, so I clearly do not see how their involvement on this platform will help a gambling addict stay away from gambling, but it will rather help the gambler discover online gambling with Bitcoin and other crypto currencies as mode of payments instead of the traditional fiat currencies they are used to.

And then, what would have made more sense is if you had said that here on bitcointalk, they will learn about bitcoin, and also have the opportunity to invest in it, while also gambling, atleast, having an investment in bitcoin, while gambling, give hope for the future, rather than just depending to hit it big one day though gambling, which might never happen.

gamblers here who are dealing with crypto in their gambling activities already know about the bitcoin's potential when it comes to investment. the usual dilemma is that gambling addicts won't stop playing up until all their coins are spent with their games. so one thing they can do for these regular gamblers is to invest in the bankroll of the casino, to receive dividends from the site.

Think of gambling as just a little entertainment to vent emotions when trading Bitcoin.
But remember that gambling will give bad results if not controlled. Better to increase investment than gambling.

Hope for the future comes from the right investments like Bitcoin and gambling too seriously will result in huge losses.

So what to rely on from gambling if there is only loss in the end?
Bitcoin should be the first choice and abandon gambling if it has a worse effect.

Even if they are in bitcoin don't forget that gambling can also use that and instead of investing I believe they will be more in gambling with bitcoin.
Besides, Gambling is just like smoking for some people maybe even for myself. So talking about investment and telling them to divert their gambling money to investment would they want to? I don't think so.
You will actually be considered a huckster when you say a lot of things to gamblers who are always at the gambling table or on online sites when telling them to stop and you might be invited to a duel because you don't really know them but telling them to stop gambling :D

People gamble because they want to. They simply gamble over investments because they think it would result to a more instant profit over investment. Indeed Bitcoin investment is profitable and so do gambling. Bitcoin investment has risk, likewise with gambling. But indeed and atleast, there's less risk in crypto investment especially if you can hold your assets and would be able to endure market price volatility, for a period of time. In the long run, the market price of Bitcoin is contonuously increasing which makes it profitable. But this is just how preferences work; some people are just happier and thrilled with bigger risk such as in gambling.

Honestly, I have not seen anyone who can make money and get rich from gambling, no matter how much experience and knowledge they have. Gambling should only be used for fun, but it is abused by many people, and considers it a place to make money without hard work. Gambling is not comparable to investing in bitcoin, it is silly to compare bitcoin and gambling. While I know OP's intentions are good, I really don't like bitcoin and gambling topics like that.

your idea is good actually but in my opinion if we introduce an investment or trading activity to someone who is already "addicted" to gambling it will not be as easy as you think.
someone who is already at the stage of gambling addiction they can no longer think properly and cannot limit their desire to continue gambling and spend their wealth.
there are various factors that in my opinion are not suitable if it is done by a gambling addict regarding their mindset and their habits, so it is certain that it will be difficult to talk about investment matters.
chances are your idea is good if that person has finished or has gone through therapy or treatment from gambling addiction.

it's not easy as you imagine, because they should learn from the beginning to know how to invest and make money with Bitcoin. They are already in gambling and sometimes make some profit from that, so that situation is hard also to leave the routine immediately or change the activity to be a trader. if I were you and have the chance to talk with them, maybe I can do it step by step to tell what they should to do to leave, don't force it, let it run as it is.

Is there any guarantee that gambling addicts won't gamble with Bitcoin later?Addictions are not easy to recover from and it will be challenging for a gambler to quit gambling.Bitcoin is not gambling but many people think of Bitcoin as gambling and I think gamblers can get away from gambling while gambling addicts make money by investing in Bitcoin. People who like gambling often like to risk their money and if they invest in Bitcoin  But for them, Bitcoin investment will create more volatility.First of all gamblers need to know about Bitcoin and how it works and how to access it.  And they need to understand that there are risks as well as benefits in investing in Bitcoin.

If they're already addicted to gambling, there's a higher chance that they'll get to discover crypto gambling sites as well so it would also contribute to their gambling addiction. Also even if they made profit from their Bitcoin investments, they would probably just use it to gamble so it wouldn't make any much difference I guess. It will only be a good thing if the person is dedicated to stop his addiction and wants to change his life.

Once you're addicted, the only thing you would want is to keep gambling. You'll find ways to make money so you can continue your gambling desires. And in crypto, they can discover new ways of gambling so they might just get worse. So I think they need to fix their addiction first before they can enter Bitcoin.

In theory, it's very easy, but practically, it's hard to convince an addict to invest in Bitcoin. The reason is that a compulsive gambler is only more concerned about the immediate money that they are making from gambling. They will not have the patience to hold their Bitcoin until it begins to generate profit; they cannot even bear to face the market volatility because they will always be under pressure to sell off quickly if the market is trending against them.



Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺

You're right, it's complicated to convince an addicted gambler to invest in bitcoin, which they know fully well that they won't receive their profits immediately, but they will have to wait for a week, month or even a year. Gamblers have no business with investing or holding bitcoin for long time. It's very important to know the mindset of addicted gamblers these set of people are capable of doing the unthinkable in gambling. They even go extra length to borrow money to use for gambling, so motivating them is not necessary in this case, they will only anticipate in what favours them or they find interesting to do.

Good idea. However, addiction is bad,  even if you're addicted to a good thing. So it doesn't matter if they're addicted to Bitcoin or gambling,  it's bad. 
Note:  not everyone who losses money in gambling is an addict.  It's gambling,  it's either you win or you lose.
I didn't think enlightening people about Bitcoin would stop people from being gambling addicts.  The reason is that Bitcoin is an investment,  it takes time,  while gambling is done within minutes or hours. So yeah,  they would invest in Bitcoin,  if they're smart enough,  but they will still be addicts in my opinion.  They didn't become gambling addicts because there was nothing for them to invest in.

When someone is addicted to gambling, it is difficult to get them to stop, especially if he has suffered a lot of losses. We can't deny that some people got money from it, which is why a lot of people still gamble. So, if you're going to advise them to invest in Bitcoin, make sure you don't insult him since he gambles. Maybe he'll be more profitable in investing than gambling soon, because I feel now is the finest moment to invest.

You may learn a lot about Bitcoin in this community; simply explore and search to find what you're searching for.

Gambling and investing are quite different things. While you can always lose in gambling and expect some instant wins, but with investing, you can always avoid yourself from losing as long as you know the potential coins to invest and how to make significant profits from them. Patience is the most important key when investing, which I think gamblers don’t settle on that seeing the fact that they don’t want to delay their profits and just want to be more lucky everytime they gamble so they can always win exceptional and huge profits.

Investment and gambling addiction don’t mix. It’s a recipe for disaster, if someone has a gambling problem and wants to solve his gambling addiction, the last thing that person needs is investing in bitcoin as a substitute for playing cards. I doubt any professional would recommend such methods. Bitcoin is a volatile cryptocurrency and the price can go up/down at any given time. How do you expect a gambler with no previous experience of bitcoin to react to his bitcoin investment going up to x2 or dumping? I think a gambling addict who is trying to work himself should be isolated from large sums of money and things that may trigger that need to gamble.

Remember there are some gamblers who know about Bitcoin more than you do and some of them invested in it already while some are even using bitcoin to gamble. It would be like a suicide mission if they join Bitcointalk where betting sites are being advertise in almost every single page and some of these site allow users to bet with bitcoin as well. Knowing or investing in bitcoin will not stop them being addicted to gambling if they choose to. It's thing of mind.

Actually this is a good idea. However, since you said if they are addicted to gambling, I think it will be quite a difficult step for you to wake them up and attract them to Bitcoin investment. Even if you say that investing in Bitcoin will provide higher profits, but usually people like them will prefer instant profits and they may hope to get rich instantly from Bitcoin investment. Even worse, they are afraid that if they do the same thing in Bitcoin, only invest for a moment and end up being very disappointed because the price of Bitcoin is very unstable. Maybe this will work for certain people who are involved in gambling addiction. However, it might not work for everyone and this will be a fairly difficult step. This is a fact, therefore efforts will certainly be needed for us to inform and make them understand and be interested in all the risks

For me, it’s actually a good move so they can easily divert their time from gambling into investing. That way, they will start minimizing their gambling losses while increasing their chance of making profits with bitcoin investment. However, we can’t just expect from them that they will never gamble again once they experience losses from their investment. Gambling addicts are even harder to motivate or even convince, and they will only divert their focus once they can prove to theirselves that investing is way more promising and is more profitable than gambling.

Most the gambling addicts will never have a thought on investment because to them it is not all about the profits but about the games they are addicted to, and if we say you want to advise them to invest in Bitcoin instead continues gambling it may look hard and impossible for them since losing money is already part of them. And if you are looking for to create a withdrawal alternative to gambling for the addicts it then means you may have to put in extra effort and introduce something that is less risky to them instead of investment because chances are there that they may use all the investment funds to gamble away again since they have access to the funds at all time being in the investment.

When they do gamble then it would be unlikely that they would really be thinking about investment or something that it is correlated to it on which it would really be just that normal that they wont care at all but

instead they would really be continuing on playing or something that they do really want to do because this is the primary thing that they would be having in mind on which they would really be pushing on doing so.

Motivating them to invest on Bitcoin? You would surely be getting ignored and you would really just get frustrated on what would be their reactions because they would really be just simply be
continuing on what they are doing because this is really that their interest. Just let them be and its better not to mind off others activities yet its their money and its their right
on what they should gonna do with it. We are the ones who would  really be molding up our future and if they would decide on spending up their money purely on gambling then its their choice.

Even if you'll be able to convince a gambler to invest of Bitcoin instead of gambling, it's a matter of time before they discover trading with x150 leverage, which is essentially gambling too.

The main appeal of gambling is making money both quickly and easily. Bitcoin investing is not quick, at best it takes months if you invest at the start of a bull market, but typically it takes 2-4 years to see high returns. For professional investors that's not very long, but for people who never done any investing this may seem like forever.

Lots of gamblers know about bitcoin, but the reason why i believe they are not interested in bitcoin is that they already made gambling as their source of income, they believe they can be making daily income from gambling which they will be using to sustain themselves, so they wont want to invest in bitcoin. If you are planning to invest in bitcoin, then you should be prepared to hold for long term, and addicted gamblers cant do that, they dont have patience.

Addicted gamblers are looking for fast money which they cant get in bitcoin investment, even if you introduce them to bitcoin, some of them will prefer gambling than investing in bitcoin.

I would have welcomed this as a nice idea since there is some kind of prestige given to a bitcoin investor more than a gambler even if both are risky. But on a second thought when you talked about introducing this forum to the gambling addict.

Have you checked around and see so many signature and avatar of casinos? This means that with a single click in any signature they are already in the gambling site. Introducing a gambling addict to this forum is setting them up for more addiction.

Even if they are banned from visiting the gambling boards which is not possible. When a gambler becomes a trader or an investor, they will still void the rule of not investing more than you can lose. You will see them going with high leverages and trading futures. It is better to quench the gambling zeal rather than to reclothe it.

The forum is a perfect example for casino which actually provide services for crypto. Gambling is a habit and i believe can be only stopped by the person and beside people are well aware of BTC as a means of investment but still decide to gamble because they are prone to easy and fast money of which gambling already provides for most of these gamblers. Once more its not an easy task to actually step once indebted to the act.

Currently people are more addicted to gambling than crypto investors. People think gambling is a site where they try to get rich quick by betting money. Basically people gamble to increase their money but many times this greed destroys them. But I think investing in Bitcoin is better than gambling because it is a long lasting virtual currency that can be trusted. Investing in bitcoins is low risk and long term holding gives good future returns. But gamblers never have this negative thought they always place bets hoping to get more profit in a short period of time. But I will always plan for the long term and stay away from bets, gambling addiction is very difficult to come back from. So I think if the gambling money can be invested in Bitcoin then surely there will be good profit in future and that will be a good side.

Most gambling addicts find it difficult to stop because they are not willing to lose and they want to return the investment that has been used up, so it is very difficult for them to stop because of the ambition to avenge their defeat. People gamble on average because they are looking for profit, I don't think it's difficult for them to stop if they already know Bitcoin let alone know this forum, I agree with Op's idea of wanting to make gambling addicts aware by introducing this forum or at least being able to learn bitcoin or altcoin investment to find profit.

Even though many people gamble on this forum, they can control themselves while gambling, because they have read a lot of advice from friends' discussions on this forum. So, if this is applied to gambling addicts, this will be the right solution for them to change their mindset from addicts to hobbies.

Gambling addicts are gamblers and not an investors so certainly it's going to be hard to convince them to invest in Bitcoin. Moreover, if they're an online gamblers it's likely they are already aware about Bitcoin existence (or crypto in general) as it is also an options for many online casinos to deposit/withdraw your money. They're into gambling because of quick profit and it's not easy to change what they used to.

In addition, it's true that this forum can help these gamblers to understand Bitcoin more since there are plenty of useful informations available. But remember that casinos are also advertise here to spread awareness so it can tempt them. Thus, before they can switch being an investors, an addicted gambler should overcome his addiction first so they can fully focus.

This is really difficult because gamblers want easy and fast money unless they really ponder that they are losing a lot in gambling, so instead they should now go to investing. But again, gamblers are not seeing this because they always think that they could get back all of their losses if they won big. That is why they still continue to bet and gamble because they have fun on it and it has a thrill while playing rather than investing because it takes time and they get easily bored on it.

Thats one way of promoting a casino to new users with the aim of having some BTC. It is however enticing them to gamble what they could earn and for gamblers its a pitfall.

Investors has to invest. If they are gamblers and will invest in BTC, they might have to avoid crypto casinos or they will just gamble the BTC. If possible they should just gamble in fiat casino.

They might end up losing their Bitcoin by gambling again! The first thing to do is make sure they are not addicted anymore. If someone is addicted to gambling, I believe they don't have patience. They always want to make a profit no matter how tough it is. If you ask them to invest in Bitcoin and say that Bitcoin will generate profit for them in the long run, I doubt they will be able to hold it for a long time.

They will end up putting their Bitcoin on bitcoin doubler websites and getting scammed. Moreover, almost all online casinos support bitcoin deposits these days; they will also end up gambling on it. The only solution could be depositing their Bitcoin in a time-locked wallet for a long time, and they may make some profit in the future.

That's very true a gambler will have more options to fulfil his/her addiction if they have invested money into Bitcoin because these days almost every online casino accepts cryptocurrency payments, and especially payments made with Bitcoin. Those casinos also offer huge deposit bonus for the users who deposit via Bitcoin and such addicts could end up spending their Bitcoin of such casino sites.

They will lose the money no matter even if the have first invested into purchasing Bitcoin because their addiction wont let them to earn revenue from their investment. However, if those people who are addicts of gambling treat their addiction first and then invest the money on Bitcoin then they will earn quite good returns in long term.

It's still a better choice to go with Bitcoin investment if a gambler knows that he/she wont touch that investment until they gain good returns from their initial investment. In that case their investment would grant them good returns if they hold it without touching it for a long time. The better option for those gamblers should be to invest in Bitcoin and hold those Bitcoin in a cold wallet, and that way they might be able to earn the profits and somehow give up on the gambling addiction.

I don't believe your story.

When someone turn become a gambling addict, he will not able to control themselves especially about financial. How can a gambling addict invest in Bitcoin when they're keep gambling every single cent they have?

Actually the reality is opposite, some of Bitcoin investors turn become a gambling addict because they're want to make money in instant way.

Yes, the people from your country who happen to be gambling may be invested in Bitcoin if they are informed about it but that doesn't mean they will quit gambling because the hardest thing to control is the gambling buzz and only gamblers that are mature enough to understand that concept of gambling is never to make money but to try the chance of making money or else they will be more addicted to gambling because crypto gambling is easier than physical gambling.

You don't start earning money (you should say profit) when you start investing in bitcoin. You need to be holding for long term to make any good profit. Gambling and investing is a totally different thing. Invest won't help a gambling addict. In fact it will harm them more. Imagine a gambling addict invested in bitcoin and wants to hold long term. He invests, the price drops and then his urge of gambling kicks in. He would be selling his coins in loss to feed his gambling addiction.

They should be talking to a professional and get their help before making any kind of investment. You must have a sane and healthy mind before you start any kind of investment or make any financial decisions.

what a gambling addict needs to be concerned with is whether he or she can remain silent in the long run, I think that's hard to do. we know to invest holding in the long term, whereas a gambler usually wants results in a short and fast time. but if you can get rid of the addiction it might be best to switch it from gambling to investing. but for them maybe learning to trade would be more suitable, as long as they want to learn to gain experience so they don't trade like gambling

Gambling is adventurous for many out there, they like exposing themselves to risk and such people always have the upper hand over every others, do you know that some prefers to be trader, gambler, and investor at the same time? So telling them to leave gambling for Bitcoin investment is half wrong, you should have ask them what they are into before motivating them to invest in Bitcoin, if they are investors how will you know? Maybe you know that they are into gambling, what other things do you know about them? Not all gamblers are useless, some of them are quite smarter.

I understand what you are saying, and I also have a friend like that, he is quite successful in business and loves to gamble. But gambling with him is playing for fun and entertainment, and he always knows to stop at the right time to not affect work and life. But as I understand it, OP is referring to people who are addicted to gambling, and they spend all their money on gambling. OP's idea is good, but applying that is not possible because bitcoin is not like gambling, and it cannot be profitable as fast as gambling. Meanwhile, gamblers want to make quick money, so giving investment advice to gamblers won't work, they will immediately refuse.
