I think the war will affect the price of bitcoin not negatively but positively. Since a war means an economy downfall, quite a number of people will want to secure their cash. And since will fiat will not be reliable, they'll be forced to secure their cash by pouring it into bitcoin.
This ultimately affects the price of bitcoin.

And I don't think not all of the people think as you are. Iraq is having casualties and I don't think those people know bitcoin or if they even use it. Another thing is that I don't think this war might happen since if it does, Trump is one of the worst President.

Cleveland +7 vs Detroit -7 +255 money for the Cavs.
Game will be later on. Any heads up for this game guys? Injuries or something?
I don't watch much Cavaliers game.

Both teams have a lot of injured players..

For cleveland we have D. Exum, K. Porter Jr., L. Nance Jr., D. Windler
For Pistons we have, M. Morris,B. Griffin, L. Kennard, R. Jackson, , K. Thomas

Most of the starters of the Pistons are injured, so Cavaliers has a decent chance here.

There last game is won by the Pistons on the road in the score of 115 - 113.

Still piston is a bit above in terms of morale coming in to this match up. I think it would be a win for the Pistons though not a blowout but still they would come out the Victor against a much weaker team on the Cavs.

I would go with Cleveland on this. Cavs on their last game fought hard closing the scores at the end, it is a tight game and with a lot of players injured on Pistons, I will defenitely go with Cavs. Derrick Rose is a threat to my bet but, still going with Cavaliers.

many ways to recover losses  ? he can work on his own to earn and not borrow someone else money   because that makes him lazy but almost majority of gamblers are dont have a work but they are the ones that have the guts to borrow money while us that have work are the ones that are scared or doubting to borrow money even if we have the ability to pay  .  if a person has a different reason and he is sincere when he say it , i guess its okay to lend him something  .
Yes this is true, he need to work for his own money, as what I have said before , gambler will always find a way to gamble, and when the time you will only lend him some money, it can only make his situation worst, he needed to work hard for him to get money again, and when he do that he starting to realized many things, especially in handling money, his mind can change as well , as time passes by.
Indeed he should help his self to earn money not by borrowing just to gamble. No one could lend him money for him to gamble, it makes him lazy and thinks that it's easy to have the money. A person should have discipline when to stop to play once suffer losses. No one could help him but himself.

I agree with you, if it is not from yourself who wants to change, no matter how other people advise, it won't work.
Addiction can only be stopped when you realize the mistakes that have been made.

It is not that other people's advice won't work, it still depends on you. It is all on you but still you need their help. Addiction is not something that you can deal with yourself, you need help from your family, your friends and loved ones. It is so hard that even if you recover from your addiction, you still do it but not as much as you are addicted to it.

Quote from: Triffin link=topic=5200442.msg53553264#msg53553264
Every thing remains good if we use it moderately but if we will start access use it can harm us and we can become addicted that’s why we should use gambling  but in limit and try not to be affected as a gambling addicted spend limited time in gambling and spend other for other activities. When you think you can control yourself only then jump in gambling.
It will be a must , we need to put everything in moderation , I experienced it myself,last year I gamble and I've lose to many money, I push myself to get back what I already been lost  ,but it only worsten the situation , gladly I did not end up being an addict, because I still have a control in every game and in every budget that I have.

That money you've lost can be recovered if you will just focus on your job or work. If you get addicted in gambling? There is no way that it would be easily recovered or even you experiencing any wins at all. Keep gambling in moderation and keep yourself from getting addicted in gambling.

no one knows for sure the reason for the rise in bitcoin, ups and downs in prices is common in trading, I prefer to rely on technical analysis rather than news, maybe bitcoin will go down to swing the price, but on the daily chart bitcoin is still showing an upward trend, it's better to do your own research than to rely on other people's predictions.

Well, we don't know what might happen, all we know is that the price can go up and can go down. Other predictions can be a good thing since you can base your prediction with theirs.
1626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Market Is Manipulated on: January 07, 2020, 11:10:21 AM
in the market there will always be price manipulation, but it cannot be manipulated every day. so at a certain time the market can be manipulated, especially when there is bad news from the media, then they can manipulate the price. but it is true that they do not manipulate each time, because pure movements in market prices must be opposed to whales who manipulate.

They can do that but obviously, they have their own ways of doing things and I don't think they would just sell at this price or make something that can hugely affect the price. As a currency with great technology and a lot of supporters in the world, they would not just upset a lot of investors, they should be the ones making moves to increase their profit not lose their other means of profit.
1627  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I took a photo of my wallet seed with a 35mm camera on: January 04, 2020, 11:35:10 PM
I agree that you shoud just transfer that to other wallet. It may not be the convenient choice but it is the safest one for now. Better take care of what you have there if I were you.
1628  Economy / Economics / Re: Mistakes That Make You Poor Poor In Cryptocurrency on: January 04, 2020, 10:54:04 PM
There are also people in the hype and people in the market prices who are emotional. The whale or pump and dump community can easily manipulate this kind of people and in return they will simply lose their money. It's the same for new bounty hunters as we see them getting scammed by dishonest bounty managers or ICOs where they're only going to waste their time and energy.

Bounty hunters also starts a dump. It is not always the managers or the ICOs, to be honest it is always the hunters. When they recieve the portion of their payment, most of them usually sell immediately that payment resulting into a dump and a price of that coin to be lower than the expected price in the market. Also, whales can't really see what you are doing, if they really want to manipulate the market, they can just sell all of their currencies when it reached a high peak, it happened a lot of times now and the price is still at what we have right now.
1629  Economy / Economics / Re: How the situation in Iran might impact Bitcoin on: January 04, 2020, 09:55:54 PM
To be honest, I don't know. I never been in a time where war is happening. I just wish that we are unaffected by this war. Crypto currencies might be affected but as long as I am getting profits out of it, I am good.
1630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much of your money only needed for gambling and others is for family on: January 04, 2020, 08:54:30 PM
Right now to overcome all my financial problems I need around five bitcoin in the present market price. To make myself relieved is the first thing I'll do, once my financial problems were solved I'll take care of my family. Beyond this I need one bitcoin to gamble which I'll use it to make something out of it.
I think we should try to use the minimum amount t for gambling and try to save the maximum for our family to look after them. Using one bitcoin for gambling is a good strategy and saves you bitcoin for making a profit after some years of holding. I use 60 percent of my salary in gambling and save 40 percent for family needs and my own expenses.

Well, this depends. I never used 1 bitcoin to gamble at all, even if it is annualy or monthly, I never did. The price of it can still change but not fiat that is why when I gamble, I just use fiat. But it is true that we should really maximize our money to our family rather than to use it in gambling.
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling on Mobile Devices on: January 04, 2020, 03:03:42 PM
not all gambling sites are comfortable to use on mobile device
Im just play stake on my phone because there I can play casino and sportbook.
I am very comfortable playing on a mobile device because it can play anywhere even when I'm walking outside the house

I usually play with my phone but I am not using it to gamble at all. Why would I even play on my phone if I have a bot and I can do it on my PC, right? I am  not saying that playing in PC is better but I don't have that much time now to deal with gambling so I usually let the BOT do the gambling.
1632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it good to talk about big gains? on: January 04, 2020, 01:39:14 PM
Big gains always keep ourselves focused on making big profits. In reality this is quite complicated thing when we look for big gains out of gambling. Big gains requires big funds to risk, or needs big luck to win jackpot. Talking about big gains isn't a bad thing, but knowing the reality and making decisions is wise.
You are right mate if you are earning a huge amount then it’s really good but if you will talk about that gain with other people or in front of strangers it can put you in risk so it is not a wise to act to talk about your earning front of other people. It's good to keep it secret and not to let anyone know about your income and big gains from gambling.

Well, this depends on the people you are telling the story to. It may be something they could learn a lesson from or maybe something that could encourage them to gamble. If you are a disciplined and responsible person, you could hear thousands of stories about someone winning huge amounts and you would not be affected by it. And I don't think you should worry about big capitals when you tell some stories since the money they will be using will also depend on that person.
1633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Market Is Manipulated on: January 04, 2020, 12:58:13 PM
yeah this market seems to be manipulated by people who hold huge amounts of bitcoins, so it leads to a very difficult market for traders or holders to make a profit, technical analysis accounts for only 50% The remaining 50% depends on the psychology of the people who called whales, you can see that matic is an example

Well, that is obvious since we are in a decentralized community, why is this a big thing? With the decentralization, no one can control the price but it can be manipulated by the people who has a lot of them. I am here for almost 3 years and to be honest, upon knowing that I don't expect too much but after sometime it doesn't matter anyway since it is not that everytime they will just dump their assets everytime.
1634  Economy / Economics / Re: Cashless Economy: Is Society ready for transformation? on: January 03, 2020, 02:05:01 PM
One big hindrance to make this possible is to make the internet widely used first, make a router and wifi access points all over the country because no one could possibly transact without the internet today. So with the cashless transaction to be possible, we should all have access to free wifi and internet. Or else, we will have countless problems concerning wages and transactions is emergency and urgently needed, but without means of making possible because of lacking internet connection.

This is the reason why offline transactions is in the topic in the past but I don't think it will be that easy. But I agree that the number one reason is the accessibility of the internet or the connection. With those people outside the range of connection, they can't access their wallet also they are so far from the development that is happening. We are still far from this and this proof says it all.
1635  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Over? on: January 03, 2020, 12:42:02 PM
You can say the bitcoin price is too high or too low. But it is unreasonable in my opinion to say scam for bitcoin. Because look at the technology of bitcoin. What does Bitcoin promise us? An inexpensive encrypted money transfer from one end. I think he does it. Price movements can be manipulation.

Well, we all know that and still, a lot of people are continuing to use it. I am used to people like that, I just don't care at this point. I earned enough to prove to myself and my family that it is not a scam and it is not dead. We've been at this point for a lot of times now, it is not dead, it is just in the point where it is the best time to invest or reinvest.
1636  Economy / Economics / Re: At which price will loose Bitcoin the dominance in the Crypto Market? on: December 29, 2019, 10:27:52 PM
Anyone can make an estimate for Bitcoin domination. I think a little different. What happens if the Bitcoin price drops too much? What happens if the Bitcoin price drops to $ 10. Maybe a altcoin will declare its independence.

Independence to bitcoin's dominance? Don't you think that bitcoin fall for that price these crypto currencies will fall too? Might die to be exact. Crypto currencies price usually follows the fall of bitcoin and if the price fell that low, then we are also seeing cheap prices of these altcoins.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: December 29, 2019, 09:29:36 PM
Indeed, it is the worst gambling addiction and is very blind to using his common sense amid the pressures that occur. Anyway, when gambling has become the main source of income then of course it is the wrong choice and gambling addicts should still prioritize wiser and more reasonable mindset so that whatever pressure is received at least the addict still has good control with a healthy mindset.
Yes if you are having gambling as your main source of income you will have to play it accordingly.  There are some people who become addicted from gambling they may lose money in this addition so better keep control of your emotions and don’t bother to invest uncountable money For gambling, just control yourself when you feel the addiction to gambling.

This is not that easy as you've thought. Control yourself when you feel that you addicted to it? No, you can't tell that, other people do. When you are addicted to someone, you can't feel anything but pleasure to your addiction, you can't stop it that easily. If you can control yourself, you will never be addicted in the first place.
1638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: December 29, 2019, 02:51:56 PM
Luca Doncic has finally become a part of Jordan Brand. Jordan's initial agreement with Luka is not a Signature Deal which includes making a player's signature shoe. Although Luka won't have his personal Signature Shoe in the near future, it can turn into a bonus if he wins the NBA MVP or NBA Finals MVP. I'm really waiting for the signature shoes of this player, especially with Jordan brand

Whoa! So sudden!
His efforts now have fruits.
Now, he will have more money than other young players out there.
Being recognized like that with a Jordan brand is really something else. For me, he really does deserve it.
His next payroll might really get higher than what it is right now specially if he take the team to a championship bout.
Yeah, Jordan Brand shows its support for young players. previously the Jordan brand had also contracted Zion Williamson to join them. Even though Zion hasn't played in the regular season but because of the possible exposure obtained by Zion can be beneficial for Jordan brand

Speaking of Zion, well, a lot of people are expecting and I've read that he can still play this season, they are teaching him how to run and play so he can avoid injuries. Zion is slowly losing that popularity unlike the time he started as the first pick in the pre season. I just hope he can come back quickly, with Ingram, I think they can still do it at playoffs.
1639  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will China Accept Bitcoin As A Currency? on: December 29, 2019, 01:34:54 PM
I believe that China has adopted the blockchain. As for the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, China will accept Bitcoin and Bitcoin will be associated with China. There are other cryptocurrencies that China must accept.

Bitcoin is banned in China. So I don't think that they will accept it in the future. The technology, blockchain might be used there but in terms of bitcoin and other crypto currencies maybe not. I read an article saying the government of China cracked down the miners but still, as far as I know, China has the largest population of miners.
1640  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin never reaches a new ATH? on: December 29, 2019, 12:53:32 PM

No thats not will be a reason for stop holding bitcoin, if you are holding bitcoin just for profit then you are just investing just to earn  money and not for the technology behind it. There is something wrong with this idea people buy bitcoin not only for profit but because its usable as currency and you can easily send money any where and any time without the need of 3rd party.

Well, we can't force anyone to use bitcoin to be a currency. I did force someone to take bitcoin as payment but he doesn't want it. It is not the reason that it is a scam but with its volatility, he is avoiding that it might fall down and will lose his profit from what I've bought. It is usable as a currency but does all of the people think like that?
