Since you win some at first, you get addicted to the feeling of gaining easy money without the hassle of having to work to earn it. That's what make gambling addicting.

The feeling that we can get easy money through gambling indeed is the main reason why people come back to gambling places. This is the power of gambling. Even though people suffer from it, the number of people who visit such places tend to increase day by day.

Dogecoin dont have a great future for now but i think somedat it will rise up again. It has a great value as a coin for some systems. But now he is at the bottom, i feel too bad for this coin. Still this is the most efficient coin.

If the rising price is a measure of the success of a coin, Then dogecoin is not one of those coins. Doge was created for the purpose of sharing among community members and not to be great in prices.
2083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing Streak Strategy on: December 18, 2017, 11:24:21 AM
Having a limit into betting is sometimes effective. You must set a limit of your losses otherwise it will get bigger everytime you bet into something you always failed. Strategies are like trial and error. Lossing once is enough. Twice is too much. Then, you must change strategy. Though its a game of luck but still it needs common sense to revise or stop a certain method you follow.

Greed will never go from people especially form those who do not have a control on the money. I know a friend's friend who is actually keep gambling inspite of several loses considering that in the next bet he will win.  You had said rightly losing one is enough but twice is too much. But how many people will understand this so that they do not lose more in gambling?

Controlling emotions is not something that can be done in an instant. We have to get used with our own way to control our mind to avoid making the wrong decision especially when we face difficult situations. Indeed this is hard but I bet we can do it!

Everything has its own risk. And if you're not lucky, you can lose every money you've invested. It is advisable to be cautious before deciding to join ICO's project.
2085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the most common uses of Bitcoin? on: December 17, 2017, 06:19:28 PM
The common uses of bitcoin these days Online and technology related goods and services,you can buy/sell online goods or service for Bitcoin.
The common uses of bitcoin you can send money in your relatives by using coins ph here in the philippines, you can buy / sell online goods , paying bills , buy a load there are so many uses of bitcoin now. Lots of companies accepted bitcoin.

That won't be happened here in my country. My government will prohibit us to use bitcoin and any other type of crypto currency as a means of payment. But thanks God, we will still be permitted to store it as an asset. Hence, bitcoin will remain alive here in my country.
2086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin's price volatility affect your gambling habits? on: December 17, 2017, 05:32:35 PM
I think many people might quit gambling with bitcoins due to its high price,and many want to hold their bitcoin for future purpose or for more profits.
But still we can gamble with cheap altcoins available on the market so it saves our money and also feed our gambling addiction.
Not on most cases because there are still some gamblers who dont actually care at all on their bitcoin to be spend on playing gambling and basing on its value it automatically adjusted on fiat value which means it doesnt generally affect on how we do gamble since we can anytime make basis on the amount based on fiat but if we do talk into other thing like valuing your bitcoins then it would be an another story.

Yep, maybe true gamblers won't bother too much with the price changing. All they know is just gambling and gambling. But for most  users who do gambling just an alternative way to collect bitcoin, I am sure they will adjust their gambling behaviour to reflect the price increase or even uses other altcoins to fulfill their habits.
2087  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Cash is better than Bitcoin. on: December 16, 2017, 08:08:17 PM
Although bitcoin can give us a considerable advantage but the existence of paper money can not be ignored. Paper money will still be the most widely used payment tool. I'm not sure that bitcoin will be able to replace paper money in this case.

2089  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is not gambling on: December 15, 2017, 06:14:40 PM
Everyone has their own gambling-related opinions. But for me, investing in bitcoin isn't a type of gambling. It is just like investing in gold or at any other type of investments. And the most important thing, investing in bitcoin is LEGAL!
2090  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm very disappointed with myself. on: December 14, 2017, 07:12:20 PM
I'm extremely depressed about my impatience and persistence.
I'm a stupid man. Fuck myself.
I bought the ETC when its price was 15$, i kept it for three months, including when it down at 9$, I still don't sell, because i believe it. And when ETC rise to 15$. I sold everything and waited it down $ 13 to buy more. But, fuck myself, the next day it rise to fucking 30$, Are you kidding me?
I bought 5000 XRP from May, i still believe it, I bought more yesterday, I bought when its price was 0,00001610sts, and when it down 0,00001558, i afraid BTC up, XRP down. So i sold everything. And... This morning I woke up with a sense of chest not say words.

This is my mistake, definitely like that. I can't blame anyone.
I told myself, "The market is still there. Nothing to hurry"
I don't complain, i post here just relieve stress. I didn't  tell anyone about this, including my wife.
Thank for listening.

I have the similar stories but with different coins. And I think, there are many people who has the identical experience out there. In crypto world, such story is very common. We won't be able to make the correct decision all the time!

Giving access to our personal computer to others, no matter how trustworthy he is, should be avoided. A person can change his mind whenever there's a chance. Not all crimes are planned.

The new design looks amazing, it is eye friendly, and now I can get the full market from the sports event I like the most(soccer). I don't need to use vpn anymore.
2093  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your biggest regret about bitcoin on: December 14, 2017, 11:21:34 AM
I always grateful because I am bitcoin holder now but actually I know about bitcoin earlier and I don't care about it, this is makes me so dissapointed. If I hold bitcoin earlier I will become rich earlier too.

Frankly, we do not know what will happen in the future and that is why some earlier bitcoin users can't even enjoy the beauty of bitcoin prices today. They sold it instead of hold it for a longer time.
2094  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indonesian Government Banned Bitcoin on: December 13, 2017, 09:08:04 PM
As I understand, the government will ban the use of bitcoin as a means of payment. But to make everything clear, let's wait what the rules will look like. Whether we are still allowed to store bitcoin as an asset or not.
2095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best way to quit gambling for good on: December 13, 2017, 06:09:46 PM

I think we should not reach that situation, losing a huge amount in gambling could affect a lot and it might ruin our good relationship with our family.
Gambling is known to be risky but only for people who are not responsible enough, but when you experience addiction all you need to do is to accept you are weak and you have a problem so you will be able to find solution to quit as early as possible.

I believe a person does not need to experience heavy loses to stop gambling for good.  I think it is on a person decision and how determine he is to control himself from gambling.  Though I admit, losing a huge amount of money might be a good reason but to others it is another reason to gambling again (chasing losses).  But at the end it is on the person's determination and decision if he wanted to stop gambling or continue it.

It's all about mind. So, the way to quit gambling or to control our emotion on gambling will be different. Some people can take others experiences as a way to control their game, while the other people tend to use their own experiences as guideline. I am the one who lose a lot from gambling in the past and nowadays I am afraid to repeat it again.
2096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will we ever see players transfer paid with bitcoin ??! on: December 13, 2017, 03:33:13 PM
I guess, for player transfer is not. Just imagine, for example saga transfer neymar from barcelona to psg in pay with bitcoin, but when the process of bitcoin delivery, it was hacked by hackers. That would be very dangerous and a bit funny in my opinion  Grin
for transfer saga which is a lot of money involved then i'm pretty sure the process will more secure but indeed transfer players use bitcoin as the payment is hard to be realize and risky also transfer fee for bitcoin is pretty high now so probably the clubs will think twice to use bitcoin for buying the players

There are rules that must be met in the transfer of players especially in Europe. Not just an agreement between player and the club only. And as today there are still many parties being nervous with bitcoin, player's transfer with bitcoin will remain as a discourse.
2097  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you buying altcoins on: December 13, 2017, 02:07:49 PM
Bitcoins have proven over period to be a stable currency, but why do some still worry themselves and invest in altcoins that has been downward trend for so many days.

There's a chance for alts to grow in price significantly. That is why some people wants to catch it. Unfortunately, not every alts will grow even though after a long period of time. Picking the promising alts becomes harder from time to time especially nowadays when new alts come in daily basis. And it does not dampen people's interest to hunt alts.
2098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: December 12, 2017, 09:50:39 PM
In my opinion, there's no way to control greed. It's a normal in human nature, you only need to have moderation of being greedy. All of us are greedy when it comes to money or bitcoin but we should not show it to others so that it will not make us look that we are truly greedy. Just don't be showy to others you are fine to become greedy.


Indeed greed is a part of human nature but we for sure can control it. What we can't do with greed is when we want to rid it from our mind.
2099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the best way to quit gambling and start trading?? on: December 12, 2017, 07:57:18 PM
To quit from something when we already had another plan to be done, should give us no issue at all. Just do the trading thing and soon or later we will be very busy with trading stuffs and things. Therefore we can forget our gambling activity.
2100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have You Been Scammed? on: December 12, 2017, 06:45:28 PM
if you're an old user in bitcoin, I think you've been fooled. I thought that was the usual thing. even I've been fooled at some minning sites and investment sites, like HYIP, and others. but, it will also shape your thinking.

I was scammed once at a HYIP site and someone stole my bitcoin from my blockchain account too. It happened long time ago when I was relatively new to this kind of business and didn't care too much about security. As time goes by, I learn from my mistakes.
