2021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Adoption In Your Country on: June 08, 2019, 01:57:51 PM
In our country, it is the same so I think we are from the same country, the Philippines. Though I am not in the place where most of the people use it, I can feel that the number of people using is increasing since a lot of more of people I know talks about it that is near to urban places. I hope this became mainstream in our country since I want our people to use it more.
2022  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on an insect fight? on: June 08, 2019, 10:41:23 AM
I think its hard to analyze or predict if which one is better to place a bet in a insect fight.  So, I dont think its a good idea to place a bet a inserct fight.

I think this depends since we are doing these when we are just children. It is not the same way you bet on sports or in some games that you usually do since it is like just having fun. Well, in terms of what you are saying, it is true but that is the same in cockfighting, you bet most of the time at a chicken you don't know about unless you bet on someone's fight you know about or your friend maybe.
2023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling.. way to loss on: June 07, 2019, 11:46:45 PM
However strategies were used, at times it is impossible to stop users from losing. None of the strategy in the list assure with the profiting. It is us who apply the right strategy at the right moment which increases the probability of winning. When it comes to sports betting it gives support to pick the right odds and not give confirmation on winning. From my experience gambling isn't a way to loss when you know your limits on spending.

But it can be a start of something you will regret for the rest of your life. Just take me for an example, at first I was just gambling for fun, for entertainment since my friends always invite me with them. It is fine until I realized I can earn big money out of it, I am not that desperate to win it is just that I realized that and did some strategies to win more and that makes me wanting to win more, that time I can't say if I am addicted or not. But after months and months of doing that, I was addicted to it. Thankfully, my wife and my family are there to support me.
2024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling.. way to loss on: June 07, 2019, 11:16:22 PM
For greater resistance to sportsbooks and casino and to reduce potential losses, it is better to use the betting strategyes. Complete list of betting strategies can be found here: http://sportstatist.com/betting-strategies/

This is great but I don't think I Will be able to tell my friends about this, I mean not the site itself but to use strategies on betting. It is true that we use strategies in order to win or have an upper hand in our games but the thing is that it will make you gamble more since you will be testing out new strategies until you might not able to stop.
2025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: eSports gambling on: June 07, 2019, 10:30:57 PM
I tried nitrogensports in the past but since I stopped playing, I have no time to bet again on some games, I also love the fact that they accept bitcoin so it is great. I usually go to a site in the past but I already forgot the site, it is where I bet my Csgo and dota2 in-game items. I won sometimes and lost a lot of items there, so bad.
2026  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling frustration and depression on: June 07, 2019, 09:08:50 PM
I am so lucky to have my family and my wife take me out of my addiction to gambling. It is something people should care about since it is not that easy to avoid or keep your distance in gambling. In fact, it's been years since I stopped my addiction and I still gamble these days since I can't stop gambling completely though I can keep it regulated by now and me gambling is normal compared to my past self. Having your family around you really helps a lot and that is the same as you getting out of your addiction, not only gambling.
2027  Economy / Economics / Re: Why everyone learn from Warren Buffett? on: June 07, 2019, 09:00:14 PM
I have read many books by Warren Buffet, it is really a genius for me, because his way of investing is unique and very safe, nowadays it does not matter if he does not support crypto, I only know that his advice is very good in the market, and they are fully applicable to the crypto market.

Well, WB's investing is great in crypto currencies but the OP applied it maybe on other assets that is why he lost a lot of money.

Not all but some learn from warren because warren is a wise and smart guy  he knows what he says  however some guys didnt like the attitude of warren  because warren is sometimes too cocky   .  But for me i think i will only listen and learn from those good philosophers that dont hate and bash bitcoin & other cryptocurency   .

Doesn't mean they hate bitcoin, crypto currencies and other things you want you will not be listening to them. WB is a hater of bitcoin but a lot of strategies some people use in this market is his, it is fine that you hate him because of that but don't ignore the things he has done and achieved. He's more knowledgeable, well he is a genius so instead of not listening to him, try to use his strategies, read his books.
2028  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin goes down, no new rich people anymore on: June 07, 2019, 03:10:52 PM
We really cannot predict the price of unstable coin like BTC, we know the fact that bitcoin price change time to time, if you are an investors and you have this so called patience, by the time btc price pump up you will surely become and instant millionaire, Simply wait for the right time.

Everyone is patient is just that the length of it varies with each investor. It is true though that no one can correctly predict the price of bitcoin because it is so volatile, all we have to do is to adapt to the changes that happen. Bitcoin goes down but that doesn't mean there are no rich people, there are still a lot of them and they already have a profit since they bought btc earlier than most of us.
2029  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still bother to engage non Bitcoiners? on: June 07, 2019, 02:29:16 PM
I stopped doing that, Bitcoin is a piece of old news they will eventually find out when browsing the internet about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin especially not that Bitcoin is launching their own cryptocurrency, it will market Bitcoin, once they launch their own coin.

That is the problem though, I don't bother when people don't care about bitcoin but when they approach me and ask me about it, I will give them pieces of information about it even give them articles and sites they can read to understand it more. So the problem is that they can't even surf the internet since they are not taught to use them. Some of them are willing to put their money into it but they don't even know how to access their wallets.
2030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is Satoshi? on: June 07, 2019, 12:19:14 PM
To quote that, I just think. What if satoshi had more than one account here in the forum? I mean, he might have left the old account as legacy for the next ones to come. Anyway, it's something to think about.

I don't think he will be doing that for the sake of his creation. He left for real and what he left in this forum is not his account or his legacy but the fact that his creation will be improved and will be valued by a lot of members in this forum. Well, it is a possibility but I don't think he will still linger after leaving all of his connections to everyone here.
2031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is Satoshi? on: June 06, 2019, 11:40:24 PM
I don't think they are non-existent and I don't really mind who Satoshi Nakamoto is right now. But in terms of his pieces of information, we don't know anything but there is a new individual that is being claimed or being nominated to be another Satoshi. You can just read this in this link.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5150245.0.
2032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction? on: June 06, 2019, 11:09:01 PM
It is just like drinking alcohol, sometimes not having it on dinner makes it not complete, it is just have to be there. In gambling, it is part of a fun life, where you gotta step beyond boundaries, win or lose everything, excites you through your bones and gives you relaxation that can't be found in other source of happiness.

That is so true. The time that I am addicted to gambling, whenever I wake up, the plan always includes visiting a gambling site or a casino, it should not be forgotten and even if I forget that to add in schedule, I will be finding a way to walk in a casino. It is hard to stop gambling, I don't know the reason but when  you are in a casino, you feel at home, I feel so comfortable at that time and when I am winning, it is so great, oh the pleasure.
2033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours a day are you spending on online gambling? on: June 06, 2019, 10:21:07 PM
3 to 5 hours ? Wow its kinda bit long  for a gambljng session . i cant imagine how do you sustain yourself to stay in the game  .  may i know how small you bet every round ? Too much small bets does not make sense to me at all because your only wasting your time and you cant earn sufficient income  . when i play i bet half or full of my balance so that i can earn or loose instantly  .

For some, that time is already a long time but there is a lot of gamblers out there that that time is not even enough to play. I am talking about the lovers of gambling, I can say lovers or maybe addicted to it. I think it is like gamers, 3-5 hours is not enough for them for grinding and finishing games, their normal game time is like 8-10 hours a day.
2034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe is Bitcoin gambling on: June 06, 2019, 09:03:05 PM
Q3. can now make a living on this gambling?

A3. Gambling should only be for fun and entertainment. It's not a way to make a living.

And people should take this seriously, I mean so seriously. It is not a source of income, it is a way for people to have fun and have some money at the same time but thay doesn't mean it should be a source. Gambling always involve risks, it is the same as investment but investment is bettee than gambling. Gambling is not safe, and if we will be talking about sites, that depends.
2035  Economy / Economics / Re: Why most bitcoin users from good economies countries? on: June 06, 2019, 11:11:13 AM
Probably because in economically developed countries people tend to see significantly more opportunities in the global economy than the same people from less developed countries. I think this is due to the coverage of basic human needs.


It is true that it depends on the need of that individual but I don't think economically developed countries had the most bitcoin users. There are a lot of them in third world countries too, I am in a third world country and I can say there are a lot of bitcoin users here too the problem is that they are not that big of hodlers like others.
2036  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks against the crypto on: June 05, 2019, 11:56:43 PM
well, so much controversy about this. however, banks will always be more advanced than crytpo. for now, crypto is indeed the latest competitor in financial matters. only, the needs of the people for the bank are very large, so crypto may be difficult to beat the bank in financial matters.

Bitcoin is more advanced than Banks, that is the reason they are scared of it. I think the "advanced" you are talking about is the use of Banks, well it has the upper hand when it comes to that. Also, cryptocurrencies are not competing with the banks, the banks are the one scared of what might Bitcoin do in the future, well as I said it is more advanced than banks.
2037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin fake money? Think again! on: June 05, 2019, 11:25:10 PM
Bitcoin money is not fake.those who used bitcoin know bitcoin is not fake.for those who tried to pay they prove that bitcoin  is not fake.even me can say that bitcoin is not fake.so many people around the world knew now about bitcoin and they used bitcoin for transaction payment.so how come that the bitcoin is fake? It is not!

Initially, Bitcoin was not created as money. However, recently, in February 2019 it was officially recognized as money in Wyoming (the USA). Probably, we are on the way to have 2 official currencies - crypto and fiat.

Well, it has valued the reason it can be used like that but I don't think it is treated as money since I see it as an asset rather than money. As I said, it has value the reason it is accepted and traded by a lot of people. I think if Bitcoin has no value, it would never be accepted like that.
2038  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will You Advise Newbies To Enter Bitcoin Now? on: June 05, 2019, 10:38:56 PM
Yes, I would advise them to start, because I think everyone should start taking advantage of bitcoin, but before that I have to teach them about risks and more information about investing, and in the end I advise them and do not force them to do anything.

I don't think they would be able to take advantage of Bitcoin since not all of them know what Bitcoin is. In our country, Bitcoin is legalized yet there are a few people that use it since not all of them are used in using new technologies. I guess introducing them to Bitcoin as an investment is not a bad thing but with the volatility of it, you might be labeled as a scammer when they lose some of their money.
2039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: From Janitor to Millionaire on: June 05, 2019, 01:56:23 PM
We just have to hope that the money will be put in good news, not to mention, us Filipino are always "ONE DAY MILLIONAIRE"

I know, right? In our small barangay, we usually know what is happening because well, as I said it is so small. From a wanted person to hiding wives and husbands, the all-seeing eyes and all hearing ears are everywhere. When someone won the lottery, there should be a celebration, liquors, food and also, the "balato" that people will ask the winner. If you will be hiding from them? You will be labeled as "madamot" or selfish and in my experience, a lot of people will be creating a gossip about you.
2040  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: thinking quiting after lose on gambling. on: June 04, 2019, 02:01:47 PM
Every gambler will think in the same way, when they start losing their mind always think to quit the gambling but after few days they will start gambling again. That's how gambler will connect to it, it is impossible for them to quit gambling even though they lose the money heavily.

To be honest that is not how gamblers think. If they are just new to gambling, usually they are regretting that they even gamble at the first place but after some time they will be gambling again and it will continue until they realize they are addicted. If that gambler is gambling for a long time now, he will not be thinking that he needs to quit but he needs to make a change to his strategy and win back the losses he made.
