I do not think trading is safe, all of them have a very high risk but if you want to try to minimize the risk you can with short-term trading in exchange places that have a very high trading risk.

If you are already experienced with short-term or day trading, you are ok with trading and if you have the discipline to carry out strictly your system, you will be good. The more volatile the market is, the more you are going to potentially earn.

What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?
In my own personal opinion, if i keep losing several times in gambling and i have only left with small amount of money that will be enough for my fuel or for transportation. I will not continue playing because i believe that there is a next time that i will get back the money and thinking positively that my luck will go back when i play again.

That is true. There is really no point in chasing your loses on that given sessions because there will always be tomorrow. If this really happens to me, I always keep telling myself that the house edge advantage is already at work against me so better stop and fight another the next day.

Where to invest depends upon what other assets you already own and your risk tolerance. For low risk, go with top  coins such BTC, ETH, LTC, EOS and the like. If want higher gains, then look into lower marketcap coins and some top rated ICOs on icodrops.com.

That is really true and it is the same with an ordinary stock market where when you invest to blue chips, you are quite at peace that your money will grow in due time. However, the growth is really slow and it should be long-term in order to see some good profit. But when you invest in small stocks, you have the potential of earning big profits but with higher risk.

Same here, government does nothing to regulate or ban it, except of negative representation it to public by TV. State actually plans to release regulation law, but delays it several times. Current situation is suitable for us average people, but other counties behave different.

In my country right now regulations really takes place particular on local exchange site who handled digital currency to fiat exchange mode. This idea prior registration on each and every user needs to have its legit kyc, because its a part on how traceable their customer is. Some crimes related to scams could be tracked through transactions history. So the legality will be more possible in an exact time, because regulations started to be more defined.

Well, that is really a good move there on your regulating body. This is to safeguard and ensure that frauds will get caught in the future. However, what I am really against to is that when the regulations tend to go further deep where it seems that holding bitcoin is already like holding it in banks where there will always be a third party that is watching over your money.
165  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When do you know its time to sell your altcoins? on: June 08, 2018, 02:26:34 PM
I have come to realize people will tell you when to buy, but will never tell you when to sell, that's the decision you make for yourself. As for me, once I get 5% profit am okay. I live to trade another day than losing all in the quest of getting 10%.

Aiming 10% is quite high but still is possible. However, when you want to be a day trader in cryptocurrency trading, better aim for like 3-5% and then just rinse and repeat. Because when you try to aim for higher profit, it will take you some time and an equivalent feeling of frustrations and urge to trade even at loss.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: June 08, 2018, 02:24:29 PM
at least, I agree with the title that we need to control yourself to quit gambling and if you think you cannot quit then maybe you need help from other people and I think it will easy for you to quit. actually, if we can control yourself in the gambling, we can quit in anytime but you need to have a strong will to do that.
The best way is to completely quit going to the places or establishment that you used to gamble you can’t still go to those places and claim that you are able to control yourself you wouldn’t be quitting gambling if you were able to control yourself.

It is not that easy, quitting gambling would take some time and step by step process. You couldn't just do that in an instant, at first you will have a hard time on resisting the urge to gamble, but once you have already did, you'll get used to it and find yourself free from the gambling world. Quitting might be hard, but continuing playing gambling would be more hard.

it's really hard to quit from gambling and needs a time so we can be able to quit. I agree with meliodas said that it's not instant and we need to do step by step process but maybe there will any people that could do it by instant and they should be thankful for this because they can quit from gambling with instant. just keep in mind that we can quit from gambling and I am sure that there are people that will help us if we really want to quit from gambling and they will give their support to us.
I know it’s very hard and time taking for the gambler to quit gambling and especially for those gamblers who have done gambling almost in all of their life because at that time, it is like oxygen to them and if they wouldn’t inhale it, they would be soon dead. Everything is to be done step by step because sequences lead you to perfectness and if shortcut will be applied, it is harmful for the gambler.
But majority of times, such gamblers just easily quit that gambling thing. Reason is, they have spent their whole life in gambling and losing again and again. They understood the monopoly of this game and then it becomes not much difficult for them to leave. However, the young ones who are somehow new to gambling, they are so difficult for such case. They are little hard to leave this game.

It takes a sense of satisfaction at certain points so that the gambler can get out of gambling as soon as he wins or loses. Creating lower targets and top targets may be able to control the way we bet. This is necessary because, in my opinion, the gambler is never satisfied with what he has earned, and the curiosity, continues to haunt that makes quitting gambling will be so hard to achieve.
Limiting can’t just work out here in gambling. The thing is when someone gets involved in this game, he never comes out to be a wealthy and healthy person. Reason is, this has just a net of attractive deals and offers that this easy money becomes a goal for those people. And then the disastrous life just starts for them. So better is to make yourself fly from such harmful game.
The best thing not to start gambling so there will be no need for quitting. Once you become addicted of gambling then it is hard to quit permanently because it is like drugs addiction and as we know that drugs cannot be easily stopped, so gambling is also addiction and quitting is not in gambler control. If you gamble just for fun then quitting is no problem.

That is so true. When you start to form that habit - whether it is a gambling or not, it would be very difficult to get away with it because you are always getting used to it already and it seems that it is already a second nature to you. Yes, try not to gamble so you won't get hooked and be addicted - this is especially true to people who seems easily get hooked and addicted to things that interest them.

Bah nonsense, I don´t need to hodl because I can buy again whenever I want, so I will just wait for the market to reach the bottom. You hodl and have fun doing it. I will be around to catch the good fish. Smiley Smiley

you strategy is good but at the end of the day, what should prevail in terms of whether or not you are holding or not is that where you are most comfortable with. When you find profit and is happy with your current strategies, that is really a good news! However, your set of strategies may not be working on others.
168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbetting on: June 08, 2018, 02:17:13 PM
Sports betting has the higher chance of winning like 50/50,so you have to choose one team from two but in other games the winning probability is very less but in that game only we can earn more money in sport betting the rewards are very less but you can win more times here.

Its all the same when it comes to sports betting. Luck does play a role but yes knowledge about teams and how the games are going on does give the gambler an edge. Still those who have inside news are the ones who really manage to make some money from it. Even if the OP might deny this still its not possible to win a big streak like this with only luck (though possible).

Congratulations on the big win though. Hope they use the money for something good. Smiley

Well yeah, everyone can agree that out of all gambling types, sport betting is one that you don't necessarily have to rely solely on luck and knowledge and information will play a big part in whether you'll win or lose. That's why it's attractive to gamblers young and old. Aside from the fact that you get to enjoy the sport you've gambled on

Sportsbetting is also like playing poker, all is not based on pure luck but base on strategies gained through experiences or playing time. The more you play and learned, the more you have chances of winning it.

I don't think that they are similar, because in poker you hold the cards, you strategizes, meaning its all on your hand and you have total control. Unlike sports betting wherein you can rely on the teams that you are putting a bet. So there's still chances that you might lost at the end in sports betting as opposed to poker wherein you put in the line a big chance that you can end up the poker champion, just saying.

You got the point there mate and I respect that. My point was that, poker and sportsbetting are gambling games that are not entirely based on pure luck like the games of dice and other luck based games all over online and offline casinos out there.
169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HODL or REGRET!!! on: June 06, 2018, 07:16:07 PM
All mistakes are made in money, so you should learn to analyze the situation, and update market developments, we should leave the concept of hold to die, which we need to follow closely to make the decision. best for yourself.

One of my strategies before when it comes to trading is that I master the art of trading/buying to the opposite coin that my mind thought will going to lose. Because I realized that most of the time, my trading decisions were wrong - so might as well don't follow my own instinct. It works for me but I don't know if it will the same to you though - trade safely.
170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: June 06, 2018, 07:12:51 PM
very true and most people who play gambling with positive thinking then it can make him win while playing gambling. because the play was good and good thinking

I never find any good about winning gambling through positive thinking. It completely depends upon the attitude we gamble because positive thinking will not create any sort of winning or any sort of loosing. It completely depends upon the situation and luck we have.
If you are killing a person in anyway, do you find anything positive in it? Or if you are going from one city to other and you are just thinking of ‘I am putting so huge efforts in here and wise people said hard work always pays off’. Does that really mean something? No, bad thing is destructive and negative and you can’t just find anything positive in the pool of negativity.

Precisely - better collaborate yourself with other people that are also positive and has a good and hopeful outlook in life to come. Negativity does not result to positivity - but it could be the other way around if you are not careful.
171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2000$ to invest on: June 06, 2018, 07:10:00 PM
I would suggest to invest on Ethereum, Litecoin, Ada, Waves, Neo, Tron. this is altcoin with very good growth. especially Ethereum which became ICO coin platform. I think this is great for long-term investments in the world of crypto currencies, other than Bitcoin.

The coins mentioned above are like the blue chips in the stock market, you can never go wrong but it should be invested in long-term. However, in the case of cryptocurrency trading, what we consider as blue chips could capable us to earn double our investment even in a short period of time. What does that mean is that, the latter is just volatile.
172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When do you know its time to sell your altcoins? on: June 06, 2018, 07:02:20 PM
I think you should just Invest in Bitcoins and etherum since for the long term it's very good and stable you should know that altcoins are so many in numbers that it's hard to tell that which one will fluorish and which won't also this time is great for investments in Bitcoins and etherum since the price is low .. so it's literally like icing on the cake.
Even if you are thinking of investing in altcoins I think you should follow the price if Bitcoins since most altcoins follow the pattern of Bitcoins the highs and lows.

It seems easy to just say that buy or invest when the price is low and sell it at profit. I tried to make it more complicated by integrating strategies in the process but I just realized that it is really not a rocket science after all - it is just literally buying low and selling high and when you perform it without emotions attached, then you are good to go I think.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: June 06, 2018, 06:51:20 PM

Because most of the time people don't take gambling addiction seriously like drug addiction and alcohol addiction they assume that being an gambling addict is just a minor issues but they don't have any idea how it can affect someone's life and the people around that person.

gambling addiction is still an addiction,  it can still ruin your life because being addict is not a normal behavior anymore. however drug addiction is the worst among the two that you mentioned above because drugs are illegal and you can get onto serious trouble if ever someone got caught you.  gambling , alcohol and other addiction are only minor because they arent directly prohibited by the authorities.

But overall , to quit gambling does not mean to quit yourself because gambling isnt the only way that can make your life more colorful . There are many ways to enjoy life but without a side effect and cannot lead to addiction.
Addiction will always be a bad thing as long as the thing you are doing is having some negative impact on you, so I may not categorically say that one is worse than the other in the comparison that you have done. Drug addiction is going to end up affecting your health and make you become a nuisance and a liability to your world and people around you, gambling addiction affects your pocket and also makes you become a nuisance and a liability. So, at the end, I believe they are both some form of addiction in their own way and only you can really make it work on quitting.
No doubt addiction is bad for everyone no matter if it is of gambling or anything else because when the person becomes addicted, he has to continue that thing even if his circumstances don’t agree with that and when he opposes these circumstances, he is considered to be a bad guy.If the thing has a positive impact, even then it will be not entertained by the people in your surroundings.
You know why gambling is worse than drugs addiction? Because gambling will ruin not only gambler’s life but also his family. Gambler sometimes loses not only savings but also his salary, car, business and house as well and after that borrow money to continue gambling. At last he finishes his life. So before the end comes one should think about the consequences.


I agree with you mate - but this is really in relation extreme gambler addicts who also have access to lots of funds to bet. To the average gamblers, I think they are still in control of their emotions and money.

The last thing that they do is gambles almost all of the money they have on their wallet while they are gambling but not really going to the bank and withdraw their family savings just to gamble it all.
174  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Not Yet Legal But Not Banned on: May 09, 2018, 05:51:01 AM
yes. this is happening right now in the digital currency. all countries still have not issued a rule about bitcoin and altcoin but they do not forbid us to use. but this will cause problems if bitcoin is used for illegal actions if the government does not make rules and there are no rules that control for bitcoin users.

Well for me, I really don't care if the government will not regulate bitcoin as it was really originally invented to be independent of third parties like government and banks.

with regards to using it for illegal means, it really depends on the user because it still also happens all the time even with fiat.
175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Ethereum a good investment? on: April 30, 2018, 11:51:01 PM
I am a low-budget investor and I prefer sub-coins for this. The most reliable one I found in Altcoins is ETH. This is the result of my own research and long follow-up. You can make your own decisions by doing your own research.

I think we can never go wrong investing to eth. This one of the best and stable coins in the market.. Although it is still volatile, we can fairly say that it is stable and will be here for a long haul.
176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When do you know its time to sell your altcoins? on: April 30, 2018, 11:49:40 PM
In my portfolio, there are about 20 coins, and I track the information for each of them. When the price is high enough I sell coins. Unfortunately, some coins are very cheap, and it takes a long time to wait for growth.

I feel you mate, I have 1 altcoin that has been with me for a couple of months already as the price goes way deep and is very slow growing.. but I take it as an opportunity at the moment and buy as much as I can whenever I have extra sum of money.
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: April 30, 2018, 11:41:05 PM
I'm one of it that believes that positive thinking have an impact when you gamble. I don't know on how I ended up thinking about it but it just came to pass that there are too many instances that when I'm positive while having the last money I have, I'm winning. This is base on my experience so I really believe that when you are a positive thinker, luck will come to you and will gamble together with you. This is base on my opinion and I don't want to argue with anyone that stance against.
Okay, I hope this end up lasting long for you as the case may be, because a time will come and trust me, I have been there, where you will let your idea of positive thinking make you lose all that you could have thought you have won over the years and even much more than you will ever imagine.

At that stage, you will think that you are using your positive thinking to want to get back what you have lost, but by then your mind has been so terribly affected that you will be recovering losses and ending up as an addict. Just a friendly warning Wink.
Thanks for that warning, don't worry I'm aware about it. We do know that too much of everything can also cause you to collapse and can lead you to bad results. With my stand as a gambler, I know my limitations but I tend to remain positive when I know the risk that I'm taking is quite high and it gives me the courage to keep on moving though the results may vary. It's applicable for a gambler to stay positive whether we gamble with the amount we afford to lose or not.


It is always good to be positive at everything, not just on gambling but in everything in life. We can't just expect to get positive result when we are so negative all the time, unless we are lucky Wink

Well, for December, holding wasn't the right decision, I told some of my friends to cash out around that time, the ones who listened to me left happy indeed, a few days ago they started buying back. Last year, I sucked at suggestions but this year is going good so far... Hold for the summer, you won't regret it ^^

Yeah, I should have cashed out my coins last December but it happened already and I am now still holding hope that we reach again that level of bitcoin price like that of December.
179  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2000$ to invest on: April 30, 2018, 11:36:35 PM
My strategy is to divide the whole into small pieces of Bitcoin and put it into different coins on bittrex. The main reason I love bittrex is that the coins will definitely yield more than 20% in small time periods. Earn with your investment and then start long term.

I have not traded much in bittrex, I use other trading platform.. but yes, I completely agree that it is a good idea to diversify our coins or assets to different kinds of altcoins to mitigate the risk of losing it all in case the one you are invested on fall its price drastically. And long term is the key to earning big in trading.
