1421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if all nations of the world started to use bitcoin on: May 24, 2017, 06:02:37 PM
I've heard that bitcoin is already being used in Russia and Japan, but officially I've yet to find citizens using bitcoin transactions directly. I think there is currently no official State using bitcoin.
Yes people are now interested in bitcoin. Especially for those people who are in the eastern. If all nations started to earn bitcoins it will be good. Because people will get interested on it. And they will invest their money. The bitcoin price will go higher because of the demand of the people.
both russia and japan legalizes bitcoin as a form of payment , it's doesn't mean a lot of people would use bitcoin there . just pushing people trust , once government make a public announcement , alot of investor would start to take bitcoin seriously as a place to invest and also some merchants would consider to adopt bitcoin as the payment processor. it's pretty clear could leading into bull market.

It seems to me that now is not the time to buy. The price is already very high and there may soon be a decline. But if you buy bitcoin in order to store it for several years, then you can buy.

Buying bitcoin now is not a good idea, it looks creepy looking at bitcoin prices now I'm becoming worried about the future of bitcoin.
what creepy? it's beutiful and full of opportunity,  i know how people always asking the same question over and over again regarding bitcoin price time to time, at the beginning bitcoin invented when it has value below $1 people asking like ' will bitcoin worth more than $10 later ' bitcoin hit more than that , then when the value at $10 they ask for another question ' will it reach $100 ? ' and so on until right now the price of bitcoin almost reach $2,500 ! just buy it while still cheap as bitcoin price would remain bullish imho.
1423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I suddenly decided to leave gambling alone. on: May 24, 2017, 05:22:48 PM
I've had good moments and bad moments in my life, but the worst moments is when I spent the entire day gambling and focusing only to winning money for this or that.
I'm tired, seriously, to win big and then fall in more deep "debt" because of greediness. I can't afford to have such experiences anymore, it makes me sad the fact that instead of saving those money I preferred to spend them on a gambling site, I was like oh ok it's just x, so If i can lose it it's ok, oh it's just a faucet, it's ok if I lose it. But when If even with the faucet I reach like 0.06 or more, and then I lose them it's still a touch to the heart, that makes you say if I start back with this amount I can magically make it 0.6, yes probably, cause I did that in the past, as my far record is been from 0.001 to 1.6 btc in 3 hours with roulette, but let's not dig that.

I prefer spending the money on what are my necessities now, than see my wallet drop in amount. Every single f*** time, every time I had the chance to buy btc, or doge whatever, I ended up expecting to win big.
EVEN if I win big, I repeat that, I waste the money afterward, because I think it's a good idea to bet bigger now if my budget supports it, and there it goes down the hole.

Why I decided to leave gambling anyway? I saw how rapidly I was going down in the past few days, and like an hot potato to keep sinking my butt on the wallet. I'm tired of that. I better move my butt and find something that used to keep me busy, like programming, I love programming. But then I got stressed and I started to gamble.

I hope you all understand. All my friends I made in these years on the gambling sites, thank you everyone for your support of my strong decision.
Thanks everyone.

When I read this is like it was talking about me. I also fell into the same trap and I have not recovered to this moment. I went into huge debt with an intention to recover what i had lost only to lose everything again. gambling can really mess your life if you put all your minds in it. If someone is thinking of gambling as a way to make quick money, think twice. You can win big now, but the next minute you will lose everything, never to recover again. That was a nice idea and I am also looking forward to the day i will quit gambling for good.

We all fell into the same trap. Huge debt, left and right, always short of money because we lost it all in the casino. And don't think of the basic necessities because we are all focus on winning. But unfortunately, all is lost. Then our life will be messed because of gambling. I salute the OP for making this one big decision to really quit gambling for good.
it's really a wise decision , when you successfully pass the hard option just like what op did and feel so peaceful , that time you have made a right decision. just try to do it , you would really feel have no load. it's different like when you keep chasing the losses immediately , you would always anxious, and most of them got a bad ending.
1424  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your game and why? on: May 24, 2017, 05:14:29 PM
I prefer dice and roulette. It's just simple better and easier with good odds. Best house edge of all games almost every single casino is like that. Roulette is worse odds because of the 00 so I don't play often. Roulette is more fun in an offline casino anyway.
dice are indeed the lowest house edge based on probability calculation , but frequently it's feel like rigged as you guys didn't play responsibly. you want an easy money but won't accept the risk to lost it quickly just like when you expected to earn . rather than to play on roulette always better to gamble on sports if you are fan of sports and have a lot of knowledge about data, statistics etc .
1425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do with the people who don't like Bitcoin? on: May 24, 2017, 05:05:43 PM
I do not care about people who do not like bitcoin. We could have given the basic understanding sense of bitcoin, but I'm sure it would be hard for them to accept. The best way is to leave them.
no i think they do not know about bitcoin, they need proper knowledge and education about bitcoin. i think we should introduce bitcoin to them in a good way, and i am hopeful that very soon they will start using bitcoin. because bitcoin is the need of the day and in very near future people have to start more preference to bitcoin and to use t for most of their activities. therefore it is most important that people may know about the use of bitcoin also.
never easy to educate a traditional thinker who hard to welcome advanced technology. bitcoin are an internet of money , its revolutionary . and they usually don't give a damn about it , i have been met a lot of people like that. don't ignore them, show them good things you can do with bitcoin gradually , and they might would start asking about it as they feel so curious.
1426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: May 24, 2017, 04:49:08 PM
As soon as i win I leave the game as I don't see any point in gambling longer after that and if I continue to gamble then there are higher chances that I will end up loosing whatever I have earned so far.

Leave the game on winning, it is too good, less-then we feel comfort because in gambling every ending is finish in lose. But should keep on mind, if we are not win in bet, then doesn't mean to continue it, at least whenever we do not win. In every first bet when we win than its mean stop on the time and enjoy with your winning money, and on the other hand if we lose in the bet, than it also mean leave the game, and play again in the next day with a new day with a new hope.

if we play with big amounts it doesn't matter to stop right away but what about if we play on small amount we only can keep it in our wallet and play again in another time, the best time to stop is when you already feel satisfied but unfortunately to get that feeling was very hard due our lust of getting more and more.
big amount doesn't mean that your going to win the game instantly whether we lose or not we must keep moving on what will be the result is. I always keep my game in short time only coz i believe playing in the long run maybe be too risk. Stoping means you already face your lose game.  It is true that we must keep playing on different gambling and not focusing on one.
i think what he means are about to play with huge bankroll and place piece by piece small amount. i just doubt anyone could successfully make it profitable in the long run , gambling are -EV , any games would have same result when you do it in regular time. to leave gambling in the right time means you have to get profit in the end and it's a big challenge that almost any player couldn't make it happen.

~snip~
i wonder if its only me who notice the patterns and sometimes its really works i did already win some amount might be .007 just by doing the drill but still i'm not claiming that it can be a bug or its just the timing maybe fj needs to update or check for some new patterns.
Wait, what?

You knew about patterns and bugs and you used them? You didn't report them?

In what games?
he didn't , and with the post above made by Caladonian i guess it was part of the report that there's something wrong/vulnerable . but he still unsure about that as it could be just coincidence or really a pattern that what lucky7btc campaigned recently. i personally really doubt about this matter , natalie have make an action regarding this by ask lucky7btc , let's just wait .
1428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: May 23, 2017, 11:49:20 PM
I have two years that I gamble,I have lost more then I have won.Now I am investing my money in gambling sites.You earn slowly but you earn definitly!!
This is a wise choice, if you cannot beat them join them, while the earnings are not that great when we add together the earnings you get by just holding bitcoin and the earnings you get from the casino then you realize that bitcoin is the best investment that you could do.

I agree.  It was a wise choice.  Chosing the better way to get an earning in a smart way.  Having our funds invested in bankroll, it will earn percentage depends on the clients investment and the casino daily winnings.
but then how much time required for you to become rich with this way? i believe thousands years still not enough. if you really want to become rich through gambling , then be a business man, build your own casino from the scratch. nothing better way to reach your dream to become rich but with a business. in this case a gambling business.
1429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: May 23, 2017, 11:30:42 PM
No, I think that if you put everything at once, it will be very risky and you can lose all your money and stay disappointed.

To bet everything with just a single bet is not recommendable. I don't think it's a smart way of gambling because it's like an all in play. Maybe this is a smart way when you are near to lose all your funds and you will going to completely depend on your luck by that time. And that's the only last resort that I can think.
better to do that rather than you have to get addicted later, when you do small amount bet and do it in regular time and often enough you might have a high chance to become an addict . not like when you go for a single bet only and walk away with no matter what the result it is. feel free to do this if you comfortable and to avoid addiction.
1430  Other / Off-topic / Re: Young people should go all in on bitcoin on: May 23, 2017, 11:22:18 PM
Every investment has its own risk level, and BTC and other cryptocurrencies are no different. You should be careful when dealing with this, and going all in sounds like a good idea if you are young, but you need to keep in mind that you can lose a great part of your investment. Caution is advised.
This is so true. Everything has the risk associated with it which ever asset class may be like equity, debt currency , bond market etc. All have the risk since those are depending on various factors local + global and which cannot be controlled. So its always said never put all your eggs in one basket. Distribute the amount accordingly so that you can mitigate the risk.

young people usually have a high and wild emotion , they are indeed always on fire, full of passion and have a high curiosity. not surprising if then they are go allin to do anything include invest in something like bitcoin. but yeah never be a good idea to do that as you need to manage your bankroll and some risk management to make your investment didn't end up in vain.
1431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: May 23, 2017, 11:15:23 PM
Who says giving up gambling is not easy? I invited my friend to do gambling and yet he won the game but in the end he end up his money with his greedisness on playing but he don't want to get back on gambling anymore he is now busy at the gym building his muscle lmao. If you really want you can do it by your self no one can help us to quit only our self.
You invite your friend for gambling and he gamble for that day and in that day he lost his money so it means then he is not addicted to gambling so if he is disappointed at first experience then he will never come again to gamble. It is a normal thing for any person in any field.
actually that kind people could still back to gamble , as they have experienced how good the winning amount you get , and think that next time you would have to control emotion to get the profit , no more mistakes. but instead the plan run smoothly , it would have the same story over and over again. but i can't avoid there's people with that attitude , i mean to learn one's lesson and just completely quit it .
1432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you risk 10 BTC at 80% to get a 1.2x payout? on: May 23, 2017, 11:01:36 PM
It is very tempting to win  2 btc in one roll but the idea of losing 10 BTC discourage me to do such kind of bet.  Aside from that even though the chance of winning is 80%, there is no telling what would be the result of the roll since 20% is still a big percentage and might be the one to come up making you lose 10 BTC.
since house edge would work effectively in this kind bet , you would feel have a 49% chance to win and the rest of it are about lost. if you can afford to do that huge amount bet , why not put it on a better payout rates? it's super hurting really when you have to get a lost with that low multiplier. sounds like easy money , it's a wrong thought. it was easy way to make you get frustated.
1433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you save bitcoin for fun or for future purpose? on: May 23, 2017, 10:53:09 PM
I am saving bitcoin to secure my future as bitcoin has an ability to make me rich in future so I am trying to save maximum amount of bitcoins so that I can sell them when price will reach to the moon.
i think most of the people have the same intention. they try to earn bitcoin and secure their future, i think very little number of people may be saving bitcoin for fun and enjoyment. As bitcoin is giving good opportunities to the people do make money from bitcoin and then save it for their future as the value of bitcoin is increasing from time to time, and therefore the saving amount of bitcoin will also be increasing from time to time.
Everyone is saving their bitcoin for securing their future as they think it as money and are saving money and some thinking it as an asset of trade so they are saving their bitcoin for the future profit and I do not see any person who is saving for fun.
there's some investors who did it actually , bought and save bitcoin for the sake of fun. they didn't convinced enough about how bitcoin work and doubt it could survive for long time , and then they make it as a fun way to invest their spare money in bitcoin. sooner or later those people who did this might could take bitcoin investment more seriously i guess.
1434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 23, 2017, 10:45:33 PM
The most gambling problem that people always encounter is when do don't feel to gamble they impulse to gamble also when they lose they always want to chase there loses from gambling they don't to try another luck on different gambling site there always a good site where they can test there luck and guts.

That happened to me as well but it was in the past. I lose alot of money and I even wager my last money in my bank account leaving me less than $100 to survive in a month. I was very stupid in the past and I dont even know what I was doing, thankfully that I am now a different person compared with few years ago
everything need experiment, and experiement can only be get by spending more and more time in a particular field. so in gambling we also need experience to become mature. most of the people while playing gambling in the very beginning lose money because of their immaturity in gambling, but after passing some time they become mature and learn the think and think in gambling. 
yeah experience sometimes teach us how to avoid the same mistake in the future , but there is a lot of people who never learn from the past experience. they just keep moving forward without any changes. problem in gambling like too early to make decision to chase the losses are normal actually , as long as you didn't do it too often .
1435  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are bitcoin cash machines becoming more popular? on: May 19, 2017, 06:12:19 AM
This site will track deployment and trends of bitcoin cash machines. its growing.

https://coinatmradar.com/
yeah it's growing , but on the same place and same country. i can't see there's a significant changes on how a new country installed their first bitcoin ATM or something. everything looks have a slower growth . people really not yet love to accept a new thing in their lives as a part of better changes for the future.
You will not see the significant changes, Too many people have realized about a high fee through using the ATM machine. That makes the spread of the machines being so low in my mind.

It's not a new thing but it must get determined by a lot of the factors. Don't judge them like they are the old person with lack of interest in the new technology.

I don't want to pay some dollar just to make a transaction through ATM.
i mean when there's a new place/a new country start build the ATM or when on a city build 2 or more ATM at once it was a significant changes. the growth could be accelerated , and the high fee could be adjusted to more reasonable. of course when you move from fiat ATM to bitcoin ATM , isn't it a new thing? especially for a newcomer right?
1436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Las Vegas Casinos Are Best? on: May 19, 2017, 05:38:37 AM
Which Las Vegas casinos have you been to and like the best? Which are your recommendations?


As a Las Vegas Resident I can definitely chime in about the Las Vegas and the local buzz.  I highly recommend the D Hotel And Casino, since they accept Bitcoin and they are a very trendy place with cool technology features and tons of fun options for.people on a vacation.  Then you can chill in your room and just gamble online lol.
it's always be my dream to come visit las vegas and give a shot on some games there. unfortunately too far away from here , but singapore popular enough for those people who want to go holiday and play some on marina bay sands casino it's as luxury as las vegas  Tongue , i just can see and heard about how expensive everything there. is that true? also everyone would have different taste but i just search the D Hotel And Casino, uh wow looks a crowded venue there.
1437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Monitoring WannaCry hackers' bitcoin addresses in real time on: May 18, 2017, 01:25:14 PM
Could anyone here explain or maybe come up with some techniques these guys could possibly use to cash out?
Possible way for them to cashout :

1. Send those bitcoin to different other addresses in small batch using bitcoin mixing/tumbling services.
2. Re-mixing those mixed bitcoin and sending them to single address to hold for long term.
3. Wait till all this mesh up and hype slows down, than move those coin to different reputable exchange platforms and exchanging them in small amount each day to stay within limit of unverified account.
4. They may also sell those bitcoin in face to face deals in cash to remain out of government radar.

Thanks for the reply. I don't understand number 5 though. Do you mean that they will receive payments in cash in real life and then transfer the BTC to the buyer's adress? If so, that seems to make no sense to me. The bitcoins are most likely being tracked and I assume this will become the buyer's problem, and why would the buyer want that? Unless the buyer doesn't know about it...
there is no number 5 btw  Cheesy , when you send the coin you can always mix it even though you receieve the cash face to face , and first of all a lot of people believe that bitcoin are anonymous, the transaction are anonymous but actually it's fully traceable, there is blockchain as public data, everyone can see it. just the matter how you could trace it, there is a lot of way too, but of course it wouldn't be easy to do that especially when you have mixed it over and over again. wish sooner or later the wannacry inventor get caught through tracked bitcoin address , and we can show to the world that bitcoin are not a currency for criminals!
1438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: May 18, 2017, 01:05:44 PM
Simple. Bitcoin gambling is a lot safer due to it's anonymity and players are attracted to that. It's also a lot easier to deposit/ withdraw your capital and winnings. I think bitcoin and gambling are made for each other considering the features btc has.

I agree, it made access to gambling very easy and possible even though the country has an illegal stance for gambling.  With a simple use of VPN you are legally playing gambling.  And there is no way of knowing your location unless you declare it since depost and withdrawal does not require your bank with full name and location in it.
You are right, bitcoin made access to gambling very easy, It's a good combination when we talk about playing gamble for people who under 18 years old or maybe in some country which they are a restriction about gambling sites.
it's sounds like bitcoin gambling sites support an under age player  Roll Eyes , a bad impact instead a good thing. bitcoin really wild and hard to regulated makes a lot of government angry and worry about that facts. but let's don't forget about the good sides . your personal information secured with bitcoin as you don't have to provide anything to make withdrawal/deposit/create an account. that's make people really love to gamble with bitcoin.
Only, for this reason, people like to play gambling with Bitcoin. If we want to give our information to play gambling means people will not entertain this currency. And why the BTC gambling industry is so successful means here winning percentage is very low and losers percentage is very high. That is why this is more famous.
honestly i don't understand what are you trying to say chris  Huh Roll Eyes , bitcoin gambling industry are getting more and more popular , get a lot of investor interest , the new site keep popping up day by day due the fact it's promising in term of how the business free from tax ( for some ) sounds like illegal but that's how the bitcoin gambling site work , i guess .... the fee are not as much as when you play on fiat casino too.
1439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: May 18, 2017, 12:57:07 PM
What I like about bitcoin now a days is that the price is so much volatile, it is attracting much more traders in it.
I really like the difference between today's high and low, it's over $100, a very nice margin for trading.
yeah a nice way to earn profit , but people should be careful too when they are trading baseless , do put a random buy and sell position. it could leading to negative instead have a profit. a lot of people nowadays even trade based on luck , just buy the coin today and hoping for the price skyrocketing in the next days. but at least it's give people something to do more often to trade buy and sell bitcoin due it's volatile compared to forex trading.
1440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: May 18, 2017, 11:25:57 AM
Betting on a sport which you have a clear understanding on, going with a very discipled money management strategy and yes you will be profitable long term.

I'm thinking about this because if I'm going to try other ways of earning through gambling which I'm not familiar or good at it. That will be hard for me, in sports betting like in basketball. There are a lot of good predictors with valid reason to bet and I just need to follow it and I can be good for a long term with this way.
please make a valid report if you have a time , then people could know if your method to keep following someone called a random 'pro tipster' work to make profit in the long run , otherwise it's just another bullshit. mathematically people who play on a casino would always lost to the casino that always there waiting for your another game to lost in the end. the circle are there happened everytime.
