We don't have to, but we can. I, for one, gamble almost every day, but I rarely lose more than $1 in the process. It's all about how big your stakes should be. In some countries even $1 is a good money, and people who live there should think first, "Can I buy something for the members of my family with the money I'm going to spend on gambling?" And the most dangerous way of thinking is something like "I will triple my money through gambling, and then I will buy presents for my family!"
Yes, some people think like that, and some others don't think like that. They need to take care of their family first before they decide to gamble, but unfortunately, many people won't do this, and they play gambling even with big money. For people who can think about family, they will not spend their money, and they will consider doing something for their family. $1 can be good money to buy something in some country but the reality, people sometimes don't think like that.Yes, when it comes to gambling some people stop counting their money, and they can lose even $100 in a second, forgetting how hard for them was to earn the money, how long it took, and what they could buy with the money for the members of their family. I'm not saying that we should always buy something for our family instead of relaxing(if gambling makes us relaxed), because we do need relaxation, especially when hard working, but if weren't buying presents for our loved ones for weeks or even months, while we were gambling away dozens of USD during that time, we should stop and rethink our way of life. Its a different story when you do already spend much money with gambling rather than with your family.Money isn't just solely for spending but also for saving for future purpose or plans.Gambling is for entertainment but if you already exceed the time and money spent then somethings wrong with you that should be changed up if you don't like to experience problems later on.I cant even afford to lose $100 for a single bet and my biggest budget for gambling if I do play is $20 and that's already enough for me and im ready to lose that amount without any stress and regrets. I can't afford to lose $20 that a lot of money in my country, and even $2 is a big amount of money, ill be thinking of it all night , even the day after, what have I done, this post is not only to ask how much money you need to spend on , gambling but also to know how you love you family and spend less on gambling , mostly others even depend how they gamble, but I do respect others because its their money

The reason I have come up with this topic now is for the fact that the value of bitcoin has been good from past one week or so and this is the time when most of the newbies end up buying at peak assuming they will get huge return on investment very quick just like they thought for 2017 bull run without understanding how crypto works and ended up being the losers or panic sellers. I urge everyone to take a moment and do research before investing.
Actually the value of bitcoin is on the right path, if you will see the value of bitcoin from the start until now its stable, from the looks of other only that the price is going down since they bought it in the higher price, but in the start of 2017 the value of bitcoin is $5000 if you look in the price now its $8000 the price has gone up not down, and its getting better, i disagree on people who is pulling the price pretending they know everything but in the historic data in the image ill show below shows its on the right path the curve lines higher than the black line are pump but with the black line as a path its going up this only shows that it will reach new all time high next year will be $9000 to $10000 stable price this only my analysis but i think i have a point since like what i said 2017 value is $5000 and now after 3years its $8000 its $1000 a year right see for yourself

Putting your keys in your email address is a very risky move indeed, simply because of your email got hack, even if you have backup in your local with the keys, still they can't open your wallet, before you even know it, i suggest here is the way to secure your wallet keys even online check the link https://bitcoin.org/en/secure-your-wallet#online

It's now 10 years since Bitcoin was created, yet many people are wondering who Satoshi Nakamoto might be. It's still today, where the creator of Bitcoin has hidden his/her identity well from the general public. All attempts in finding who created the world's most popular cryptocurrency have failed so far. But we all know that there's no such thing as 100% anonymity. A slight error in covering tracks, could expose your identity within the mainstream world. Now, imagine if the real Satoshi's identity is found. If he/she is still alive, governments would be on his/her tail to put him/her in jail or even pay a hefty sum of taxes. Once this happens, Bitcoin might fail within the mainstream world. Of course, the community is what makes Bitcoin great. But I'm sure that the reveal of Satoshi's identity will have an influence (either positive or negative) over the cryptocurrency's price and reputation worldwide. What are the odds of Bitcoin's survival once Satoshi is found? Will it continue to operate as is? Or will it fail in the long run? If satoshi is found he will be in big trouble, because not only the government will try to get the bitcoin and other crypto that he have but, also the syndicate that will try to get it also as they will try to get it , and they might kill satoshi also, its okay for satoshi to just , never shows up until he will be protected and never be prosecuted, as we know for the government, they will get what they want, no matter what

I've got wonder about the method of first miner's(in 2009) mining. I've heard that mining was conducted by only CPU at then. Did they used just Bitcoin v0.1 only?? Since I don't know the Bitcoin v0.1 looks like. I don't know the console window was existed at then. Is here anybody know about the first mining method??
The first to mine bitcoin is ofcourse our very own satoshi nakamoto here is the link and he just mine 50bitcoin, for the first block that is a large reward if only we can mine that big https://blockexplorer.com/news/genesis-block-first-bitcoin-block-mined-ten-years-ago-today/

Gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta sa mga post ko dito sa local at sa mga members natin dito na naging inspiration ko din na hindi pala imposible na maka earn ng malaking amount of merit, shempre nandyan na sila cabalism, bttzed etc. Nagsimula lang kase ako dito as bounty hunter tapos nun nag ka merit system nawalan na ako ng pag-asang mag rank-up kase napakalaki ng kailangan ko, hero ako natigil tapos and need ko ay 500 merit para mag rank-up. Bumisita ako dito sa local year 2019, at nakita ko ang mga active members dito at sobrang gaganda ng post nila, at ang lalaki ng kanilang mga earned merit, kaya pag katapos noon ay ginandahan ko na rin lahat ng post ko, nag post ng mga informative content kagaya nila, at nakakuha ng mga merit sa post na iyon. gusto ko lang linawin na ang 300 earned merits ko ay galing sa 10th anniversary art contest, at yun iba ay nakuha ko na sa mga individual post ko. Kaya sa mga newbie's dyaan o mga member ay wag kayong panghihinaan ng loob o mawawalan ng pag-asa kase posible talaga mag rank-up kung lalagyan nyo ng effort ang inyong post, meron tayo ditong mga tao sa local na masipag mag merit sa mga nakikita nilang deserving na post, at sa global din naman ay nag kalat ang mabubuting member na nakaka appreciate ng effort sa pag gawa ng content. Gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat ng mga tumulong saakin sa mga tumulong din saakin para makuha yun badge sa 10th anniversary art contest! thank you sainyo!! napaka gandang salubong ito ng 2020. Congrats yatsan ikaw ang susundan ko at salamat sa iyong mga guides s akin nagkaroon ang ng bagong inspirasyun medyo matagal ito pero pipilitin ko maabot kung anu ang iyong naabot contrats

I think a lot of people own bitcoin in america before 2017, i have heard news some use it to pay ice cream and some who accept it in their place but since 2017, i think they sold their bitcoins during bullrun year since they need money, maybe they think they needed the money in their daily lives , at the same time as we know china has the most miners in the world so probably thats the other reasons,

We all keep a lot of personal information on our phones and obviously don’t want to share our correspondence, cryptocurrency wallets, or contacts to become a part of the public domain. Nonetheless, in some cases, authorities can ask you to provide full access to your device. Is this even legal? Can you refuse to give your phone to law enforcement? How can you protect your cryptocurrency wallet? https://forklog.media/how-to-protect-your-crypto-wallet-during-phone-search/it depends on your country if its under the law , then there is nothing you can do but to follow the laws of your country, or you can encrypt your phone, and pretend you never knew or dont know about it, but im sure they can make you open your phone, either you choose rot in jail or open your phone

Since the introduction of the merit system, a lot of time has passed. Tell me, what are the most effective ways to earn merit in 2020?
Here are some of my tips There are lots of categories you can choose from: 1. Latest News about crypto currency 2. Tutorials like for example: How to open or create a wallet, and other helpful topics other than what i have say is never expect to earn merit, just continue to help and share information, one way or another they will notice your post, before you know it, you will see lots of merits , that is if you are contributing to the forum, so always post something with sense

you leave one of them here coinexchange.io , I see not only on that list even there are still many more out there exchanges that are closed because of bankruptcy from the bear market effect that occurred during 2018 to 2019, I think maybe the lack of altcoin trading volume due to the close of the exchange, maybe if the market have recovered they will come back to increase the trading volume on altcoin Im sorry but i only select 2019 exchanges at the moment ill be creating a new one for all of the exchange that closes from the start of crypto currency but it will take time thank you for your inputs

Jet Cash has tried to engage Newbies in many topics, but without much result. The ones who open useless topics are the ones the merit system is supposed to stop from ranking up.
i agree with this , they post a lot things just to reach a certain target post, but the content of the post has nothing , or sometimes a mile a way of the topic regarding the merit , i would like to suggest to start a topic then, all the newbies will be sharing their thoughts about it and if their statement or answers or good and helpful i think even other high rank will never hesitate to give them a merit, i really hate spamming since , its just covering the one comment that has all the thoughts about the topic
