14201  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price Increase Incoming. on: August 06, 2016, 09:35:59 AM
I guess it was yesterday when bitcoin price suddenly drop that fast?. What could be the reason for this? i have seen one altcoin raise too much during this bitcoin goes down. traders on that altcoin was so lucky

The largest bitcoin exchange called Bitfinex was hacked. It lost 120 thousand bitcoin to some hakcers.
Hackers will not keep these coins in cold storage.They would prefer to sell them and probably start selling them which may be the reason behind current price fall

Well the price did increased again rapidly so for sure they have sold it already and some of the bitcoins are still on their cold storage. And they are getting wise on it and they know that the price of bitcoin is going to increase again in the future. Don't worry guys if there's a dump, higher pump is going to happen.
14202  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: August 06, 2016, 09:32:13 AM
I think that it's not time yet, i am not ready to start working at home with bitcoins, for me is much better to talk with people on my daily job insteed of online.

I am working online for 5 years already and I have not encountered any problem as to payment. At the moment, there are online job offers that pays with bitcoin and I believe people are starting to accept and use bitcoin as salary for certain jobs online.

There are many jobs available online as a freelancer that pays in bitcoins but its still good to work on it in part time and continue with full time job as we never know when bitcoin jobs will disappear in future.

That a lot time working online, but the same way you work with fiat you are working with bitcoin, that i believe has a great demand, atleast i see more then one website of developers working with fiat and bitcoin, and some others just with bitcoin.

For me as long as you are able to manage your time properly like working with both sides for your full time daily job and your full time or part time bitcoin job, you don't have to quit any of them as long you know what you are doing and you are going to earn with it. Having many source of income is always been better.
you can do this mate if you are already a professional traders for alt you can buy your order for your supported alt then leave it up and provide sell price then do your day job and go back in certain time to check, you can balance it if you are already an expert.

Well if you are a professional trader then you are just holding your time even you have your own full time job. Then it is not going to be an hindrance to your trading career. And at the same time you are working for full time and your bitcoin job. You don't have to quit any of your career just for one career.
14203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling. on: August 06, 2016, 09:14:40 AM
We have so many suggestions about this topic but it depend on the person what he has mind about this, for some people it can be easy to quit but for addictive person it would be much difficult to make his mind, it is all about self control and how mentally strong we are to do this.

For me, it is really hard to quit gambling especially when it became a part of your life and you can't live already without it. But that is unusual and that is really called as an addiction so before things are going to be worst you must cure it by quitting. And you need some help ask your parents to help you and guide you for quitting it.
14204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this what we called "addictive to gamble"? on: August 06, 2016, 09:10:49 AM
actually hooked it relates to something you like and it may be said it is a hobby. if you always want to play gambling for fun or at the time wanted to make money at any time, I guess that means you're hooked, even in a crisis situation you still want to play. Well, I think it is a dangerous state of the addiction to gambling


Well getting hooked with gambling does have a lot of meaning, I can think about that when you are hooked to it and you just want to play gambling as you want and until you have money. And if you are not completing your day until you don't gamble for a day, then surely you are already addicted to gamble.
14205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: August 06, 2016, 09:05:49 AM
It depends. Mainly I would like to start my own business to always have funds available for me. Also I would help charity foundations and children in need. And of course I will keep playing the slot machines with very little bankroll per day like 300mBTC is not a big amount if you are rich. I am obsessed to win at least once a jackpot in the online slots.

Well for me, If I'm going to be rich already, instead of going to gamble. I am going to invest in gambling. And going to make my habit as a profitable way so that at the same time while I am enjoying, I am also earning. But if a friend is going to ask me to play with him. Instead of going to have bets, I'm going to play with him without bets.
14206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do winning and losing gamblers have different personalities or habits? on: August 06, 2016, 08:57:40 AM
Most of the gamblers i know arnt any good and they tend to bet lots of games and add games all day long cause they are doing it for fun
or addicted. Good gamblers i have come across play way less games and never chase and add just to have more bets

Well when a gambler wins for sure his personality is going to have a good mood and it tends that he is going to be happy at all. And if he is losing of course he is on a bad mood. But I am sure when a professional gambler whatever he is going to happen to him he is just going to keep calm always and he knows what he's doing.
14207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: August 06, 2016, 08:55:55 AM
Do you gamble for fun or for profit?

90% fun, 10% profit.
From the point the % of fun goes under 40%, I think that gambling becomes a sickness or obsession.


Don't you think that there is more fun in gambling when you win your bets ?? And i believe that people play it for profit and when they win they enjoy gambling. If you loose then there is no fun in gambling Agree ??

I agree, everybody wants profit but we all are not lucky enough. When we won gmabling becomes fun or happiness but when lose there's no fun.So, gambling fun, depends on your results.

Mostly the gamblers are just referring to fun with gambling but it just comes suddenly when they are thinking about the chance of getting profit too.
So they have both reasons now as they are gambling for fun and for profit. But for me, I just doing it for entertainment or fun basis. Especially when you are getting bored.
14208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Myths and facts about gambling addiction on: August 06, 2016, 08:43:11 AM
Quote
Myth: It is OK. I don't gamble everyday, so I am not addicted gambler.

Reality: It doesn't matter how frequently you gamble. You can gamble once per month but always lose all your money in one session. Gambling is a problem if it causes more problems.

Yeah I do believe with this list because people tend to say that they are not an addicted gambler if they are just gambling for some time.
And you have said it right that it really doesn't matter on how often you are going to gamble. So, before you are going to get close with the problem it is better if you are going to avoid it immediately if you can.
14209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what fun in GAMBLING? on: August 06, 2016, 08:41:11 AM

i think there is no fun in gambling .
in the beginning there will be earning of small amount of btc but after this small earning there will be greedness of our mind to gamble with bulk amount of btc . and finally there will be loss of all money .
overall i will say this is fun if any our enemy loss his all btc in the gambling .

Well that's why gambling is very addictive because the gamblers tend to see that gambling is really fun at all, the entertainment it gives to the gamblers and as well as the chance that is going to give them winnings at all. So if we are going to combine it both, then that are some of the reasons of fun that you can get with gambling.
14210  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: bitcoin hyip are they a gamble? on: August 06, 2016, 08:34:35 AM
Yes it is but its different kind of gambling. Joining hyip is more likely slow gambling imo. You will wait for how many days, weeks, or even months to know the result, wether you make profit or not. I havent tried joining hyip yet but I agree that there are people making a profit from those scam site by joining earlier.

HYIP is worse form of gambling and it's more risky than normal gambling, because online gambling casinos are more trustworthy and we can keep hope to take withdraw in case if we won big amount there, but on hyip sites we don't know what is going behind the scene and when they will run with our money.

We have the same thinking that hyip are the worst form of gambling and there you are not allowed to return your capital once the site is going to run.
But in a normal gambling game you have the chance to return the amount that you have lose to them. But anyway, they are both risky at all. Just afford to invest what you afford to lose.
14211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling has killed me (money vanished) on: August 06, 2016, 08:30:26 AM
It's happening to all players who are doing without any limit, when any player get greedy than it's sure he will lost all his money to the house very quickly, when we have chance to make more profit than we must take withdraw and stop doing this for a short time of period.

Yeah that is normal if you are into gambling and many are experiencing if they are not going to plan as they are gambling. Make sure that you have plans when you are gambling because the thing about that is it can make you bankrupt all the way easily. Put some limitations so that in the future you are going to avoid this kind of incident.
14212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: August 06, 2016, 08:19:34 AM
Have a self control on yourself and stop when you have a losing streak when on gambling and when your mind is fresh again, go gambling and win back your loses.

It is a concept that is quite good. Unfortunately, it is not always we always get. Gambling system because it is not the same as what we do, the more we want to benefit the small we get it and vice versa
well there is some truth in your ideas, the main thing is that you shouldnt be too greedy because it will definitely make you lose a lot of money

having greedy can make us lost everything in gambling and its a big problem that every gamblers or everybody have inside us. but well its depend on ourselves, want to control it or not.


Yes play with no greed is already included a smarter way to play gambling I think. because you are smart to control yourself if you can do that, in order to avoid losses, when you've got a considerable profit.


I agree with it play without greed so that you are going to be relaxed while you are going to gamble and that's a smart way on playing gambling.
And if ever you are going to win already just manage to quit already so that you are going to be smart with your winnings and you are not just going to get lose again by the house.
14213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did you ever lose time from work due to gambling or visiting bitcointalk.org? on: August 05, 2016, 12:57:27 PM
When I was at my office I am still visiting the forum and my boss is not noticing what am I doing. Haha she thinks that I am still on sales even the theme of the forum she is seeing that I'm using and my supervisor have saw it too. I'm just saying that I'm getting clients through forum but literally I'm into other discussions and not working for their time. :p
14214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how many gambling sites have been hacked? on: August 05, 2016, 12:55:57 PM
I don't have an idea too of how many gambling sites that have been hacked or if there is any of them. And I know that their security to their funds are very secured and it is not going to be penetrated easily unless one of their staff is going to do back job for the gambling company they are working for it.
14215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: August 05, 2016, 12:54:23 PM
Although there are some who actually get rich from gambling, like lottery winners, in general I think you have a higher chance of getting broke than to get rich. So to answer the question, yes there are people who are lucky enough to get rich from gambling but that is a very very very low percentage compared to most gamblers that get broke.
Yes maybe their are some who became rich from gambling but i guess only few. its hard to earn in gambling what more to be rich. i think they were just lucky or they bet big amount and win thats why they became rich.

I am sure that people who are getting rich with gambling are the house edge only. I don't know if there is someone that is a normal player or gambler that did became rich with gambling. Maybe those people or individual that really have a very lucky win and won a big amount of pot as they are gambling. But for the house edge they are really the ones who are becoming rich with it.
14216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: August 05, 2016, 12:52:23 PM
I do not gamble to much but it always seems that when I do, I take the loss big time.  For example, I have lost over 3 BTC in the BustaBit game online.  It is fun and I like to play but I always get greedy with it.  I have won about 2.2 BTC back, but I lost more than what I have won.  For some odd reason, I keep coming back over and over.  I do not know why I do it, why do you?
This is dependent on where you want to give up. Although it is very difficult, but you have to overcome yourself, otherwise it will not lead to good. I'm not a gambler, so I have this trouble is spared.
Since you are not a gambler you cannot really share base on your experience, only those who have the experience can share why they are coming back in gambling, for me I come back because I enjoy doing it and the thrill is really there though sometimes I lose but I cannot stop gambling for good.

For me their hands are really itchy if they can't gamble for real. That's why it keeps them coming back for me it is not going to be a problem if they are keep from coming back as long as they are going to know their limitations but it is really hard to fight against addiction to gambling and if you are going to overcome it then that's better.
14217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gamble small amount i win and when i gamble big i loose. on: August 05, 2016, 12:46:10 PM
It did happened to me too for my past experiences with gambling. Every time I'm going to try to play poker I'm just putting small amount when playing so things are getting positive to me and I am winning. So it makes me feel strong and confident that I'm feeling lucky that time. So, the next time I tried to play other games and putted all my winnings with poker but things did came worst.  Cry
14218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If gambling is illegal in your country, would you still gamble? on: August 05, 2016, 12:43:05 PM
i will not gamble if gambling is illegal in my country, but you know what, sometimes i have a strong desire for gambling and i realize that was a bad desire. so if i have got this desire, i will use vpn and play gambling by stealth mode  Grin

Here in my country our new President is not going to allow online gamble as he hates it but for sure there are my fellow countrymen they are still going to gamble online with bitcoin because their winnings they can just manage to put it on a mixer and it is not going to be traced on where did they claimed it.
14219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 05, 2016, 12:39:42 PM
Yes. Play with a small, affordable amount of money. Never go to a casino with more money than you can afford. Control yourself, and if you can't.. gamble with friends. They will help you (if you have good friends, not idiots who laugh because of your losses). Or.. a safer way is playing with faucet. Safest way? Don't.

I like your answer, it is totally different. Personally i have a experience of it, when i decided to use only less amount for gambling, than i am not angry with himself, even i lost the whole amount, and i can call it, it is a self-controller. Also for me it is a safest way in gambling.
The temptation is there once you bring an amount of money that is not intended for gambling, because of the money in our hands we are so confident to bet and it will reach to the point that we will chase because of our losing streak and we want get it back easily. It is just later we know that we are not doing the right thing.

Obviously, people mostly realize what they have done after they lose everything they had, and then regretting is the only thing remains for them because after losing the money they cannot get it back as they did it with their own will.
yes indeed, always happening to me. playing only for fun but can't handle myself keep losing btc playing dice using martinfail system
making some combination and winning for a while but due to lack of self control losing it back again together with my bankroll.
Well, you cannot expect to win in dice games even though you have a self control but you aim is to make profit you will only experience a temporary win because of the house advantage and that will kill you in the long run so if you will not stop you will definitely lose.

And even in other games of gambling there is no safe way of gambling because all of them are risky. I think if you want to play safe with gambling better to be a responsible gambler as you are putting your bets make sure that you are able to manage your money properly and put some limitations so that you are not going to be bankrupt.
14220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: August 05, 2016, 12:36:57 PM
Well you're right about gambling is a game but the twist here is that you can earn money too and those too makes gambling too addictive for people.

Yeah gambling is really fun for those people who doesn't care about their money and that is really the essence of why gambling is fun. The chance of winning too much money is making the people having fun and get addicted to it but it does have too bad effect if you are not going to be careful as you are going to do it.
