2121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What kind of Altcoins have a future? on: January 09, 2020, 08:42:22 AM
Well, I don't get it? The op is different from the title, the title of the topic says what alternative coin will have a future, but the op says what alternative coin will die, I get confused there. But I will answer both just I case, I think there are many altcoins that are worthy and doing good performance ans enough for them to use, but if I have a favorite then I will choose ETH and XRP I think these two coins will be a great use in the future, I know there's more, but I choose those two as my opinion. Meanwhile, in the question of what altcoins will die well, I don't know there are many altcoins there, and I know many will also died because they are new and can't gain any popularity from the start.

Well, the online casino games I want is card games because it requires strategy, which I really like well yes other games such as dice games and roulette, etc. Was fun, but I want a game in which it gave me a headache in thinking on how to win, and it is worth winning while doing all the strategy I could do. And its more cooler playing card games, right?
2123  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Counted Or Estimate All Your Losses And.... on: January 09, 2020, 02:18:48 AM
Well, I don't like estimating my lose because it only gives me pain and regret as I count them but one thing for sure, I've wasted a lot of money when the time that I'm addicted to online gambling but the money I use is from the money I got while working in crypto and signature campaigns but if I estimate it maybe I can buy 1 set of computer, and I really regret it because I don't have a computer set now and I need it that's why I stop playing not totally stop but I play once in a month to save money.
2124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery In Your Place on: January 08, 2020, 12:36:57 PM
In my country , lottery generally is offline and deals with fiat. Also , it is more famous among senior and retired folks as they have not much to lose and are not aware or dont have energy to play other gambling games. Lottery for them is simply game like tambola or bingo. I personally dont deal in lottery but my friend told me about few sites like lottoland.com and lotoanalyst. Check them out , not sure though.

those sites do also accept crypto or only support other payment method  ? op would be interested on it too  .  i have only tried the lottery on freebitco before but i havent experience to win yet but maybe it will depend on the number of your tickets as i only have small tickets  so the chance of winning is also slim but the usuall lotto works on picking and balling the number  . its more believable if they will only show the result in real time  and not only via randomizing sites .

Lottery in our country is more on fiat, I’m not sure if there any offline lottery available because most of the time I noticed that people in our country will visit a lottery outlet just place a bet and they use fiat currency for payment.  But if in any case there is an offline lottery then I think it is not a bad idea because you can place your bet anonymously and if you win no one will know that you won and you can securely save it in your account.
In my country also lottery is one of the famous betting they are doing every day I see many people are placing their numbers in a lottery outlet hoping to win, but I've never tried one, so maybe after trying once I will not try it again because let's be practical there is a very little chance of winning out of how many people are in my country, so instead of placing a bet I will just save the money and invest it to trading. But I guess for those who love lottery; an offline lottery will be a good choice for them.
2125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin can not become a global currency on: January 08, 2020, 08:14:18 AM
Well, I think there are still too many reasons why bitcoin or other cryptocurrency still can't be a global currency. One because most of the country even don't want to accept and adopt it, and there are countries that treat usage of crypto as illegal and so many more. But I think laundering can also or safer using fiat currency because as we know crypto is untrackable so if there's an instance that you lend money to someone over crypto they may not pay you on time or will not pay at all so its lot more safer if it's done using fiat currency.
2126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling on Mobile Devices on: January 08, 2020, 06:36:23 AM
There are lots of gambling apps on google playstore and appstore but many of them only place advertisements and don't really run bets properly. I prefer gambling sites that already have a good reputation and happen to make mobile apps for example sportsbet.io. Besides all sites already have costumize mobile so there's no problem if you don't want to install apps.
Well I don't suggest to trust and install the gambling apps in the google play store because most of them are really bad I mean that's right you will view advertisement more than playing and it is annoying and also I don't want to play or install a gambling app in phone because my phone gets laggy and hot, so I prefer playing online or legit gambling websites.
2127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: January 08, 2020, 05:47:14 AM
Well, there are pros and cons in using crypto as well as fiat on gambling. For the most part, I am only thinking of what's convenient and so there are times and games in which I use fiat and there are also games in which I use crypto. I cannot use fiat in online casinos because of certain reasons but I can easily use crypto. On the other hand, I also cannot use crypto when gambling outside the internet. I mostly use fiat.
Yes, it all matters on where we are more comfortable, and where is more convinient, I rather choose cryptocurrency, because it is what I have now, and it will be good investment for me, I can hold the bets that I am already get from winning the game, and it can be good for a long term hold since today we can see that some altcoins are getting pump now, together with bitcoin.
Well, I also prefer using cryptocurrency or playing online casino that fiat currency maybe because I only started to play online than in a real casino place, but I experienced playing one time, but I don't like it because of crowded and hassle commuting. And its more great playing using a phone because we can relax and do other things while playing, right? And we can be entertained anytime and anywhe
2128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is the main purpose in gambling, always to make more money? on: January 08, 2020, 04:32:21 AM
For a gambler, they come first time in gambling because of curious. A gambler search for many games available on that website because they want to know how to play each of gambling games. After they know, they start to like one or two games and spend more time to know more about the games. They didn't have a main purpose in the beginning, but then after they get deep in gambling, their purpose change because they see that they have a chance to win much money. Some of them realize that to win in gambling, they need luck, but the other didn't know and still playing gambling.

I don't know if we need a reason for here because that could be different from one person to another person.

I don't want to gamble if I don't have time to waste because I think I will use that time to do something else. But so far, I still have more time to spend on many things, including to play gambling.
For gambling users, money is very important for them and there goal is to earn a lot of money while playing games. They spend money for there own sake and use it for there own good also but they will think another way to earn more money. Gambling is not only for earning money it is also for entertainment purposes to make people happy. We should be wise thinkers and be careful on what we are doing.

It is better to use gambling for entertainment and don't use gambling as a way to make more money because they will know that it will not possible to do in the long term. Soon or later, they will see that they will lose their money without takes too long. Some of them will realize, but some others will not, and that will make them feel hard to earn money from gambling. Making money from gambling is normal, but we cannot depend on gambling to earn money because we have the other way to make money.
Well practically some will say or in the right mindset and also like me says that we only do gambling as entertainment and to kill some time like a quality time to our self and because that was the time we can enjoy to the things we want, but some use this thing to earn money and rely on the big win like hoping to win bigger amount and that would be possible but if they will realize the money they have waste or the money they lose is much bigger than the money they can win. And we can't avoid that to happen, but with proper guidance to them and to ourselves we will not end up in this situation.
2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much of your money only needed for gambling and others is for family on: January 07, 2020, 10:42:53 AM
Well, I don't pay anything because I'm in college so my parents buy the food and all etc. But once I start earning, I'll surely devote 95% earnings to my family and to meet needs and for my luxury and stuff and 5% fixed for gambling lmao.

Well, that sounds a responsible plan. It is good that you are thinking of it this early. You must have a lucky family in the future if you stick to your words here. But why do you have to add "fixed" to your 5% gambling budget? Is that because gambling is necessary in your life? Or is it because it has to be that low only?
Maybe because he really want to allocate some of his money to play gambling as entertainment and past time well I also admit that playing gambling was really entertaining, but of course I play in moderation and i it's good that someone like him really thinks his family even he was still a student. I also a college student and part-timer in crypto world and to help my parents using my earnings I'm the one who is responsible for my college or school expenses, school supplies and etc. to lift their burden and if there's an extra money I give it to them, and also I take a little portion to buy things that I want so unlike him I don't have a fixed amount used to play in gambling it's just I'm not always playing gambling because I hate losing and losing money so let's say once in a month or thrice only because money is a precious thing to me.
2130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social experiments in the world of gambling on: January 07, 2020, 08:00:20 AM
I will help him/her in the right way instead of borrowing money again and let that person play again until that money you've lend will be lost, then I will choose to talk to that person and give a lecture. Maybe he/she will be angry at me, and if it does, then it is the sign that the person is fully addicted because he/she doesn't want to stop after losing a huge amount of money. And by lecturing, I will also advise that person, guide, and help to overcome the addiction and made him realize how addiction in gambling could severely affect its own life and maybe the people that important around that person.
2131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decisions for a better life on: January 07, 2020, 03:26:45 AM
Well for me I will choose both I could live simple even im playing gambling it doesn't matter at all, but if playing gambling will result to addiction and affect my life and family then that's the point I will choose whether to continue playing and get addicted more, and my family will be ruined or choose my family over my hobby. And the obvious answer I will, of course, choose my family, and for the better of my life, gambling is just one of the factor that can make you happy and entertain you, for me, I know that happiness could ruin something including my life and others around me then I will leave it and find another things that could replace it.
2132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What matters most to online casinos? on: January 06, 2020, 12:07:24 PM
Well for me attracted to an online casino first when the UI is good and can be easily navigated and of course, it has an crypto services so that the transaction will be untraceable and they don't need to know my identity more like anonymous and also when I first experience playing in online casino I feel like I'm playing in an actual casino place you feel the vibes of it because you know that you are playing along with real players across the country and also can be played with friends anytime, anywhere you want, and it really feels real because you actually can win money in the form of crypto or lose money and that is the part of gambling. Also, if the site offers good services such as bonuses and good promotion.
2133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling on Mobile Devices on: January 06, 2020, 09:24:09 AM
I did not download a particular app just for gambling. When I am mobile, I am on my mobile phone and I don't want to gamble using my mobile phone. Except when I missed placing a particularly important bet on sports, I might do it through my smart phone but that will have to be through a browser and not through an app.
yeah using browser is more safer than APPS because those are mostly with virus or phishing so it is more to use browser .

and we can play in our home using Laptop or computer so why need to play via Mobile not unless like what you have said there is an important bet we need to do at the given time.

Gambling apps are not secured and always come with lots of malware. Non verfied apps can hack your mobile phone. It is better o use browsers like Brave and Opera while playing as they both disable tracking cookies. Opera Mobile comes with free VPN, which is highly recommend for a gambling website.

I'm avoiding gambling on mobile not just because of safety issues but also because I cannot give much focus when on mobile. And since it is very accessible, I might end up hooked on with it that it will consume much of my time, attention, and money. It is enough for me to gamble on my desktop and on a peer-to-peer basis whenever time allows me.
Well you do have a point it is really hard to resist when you get hooked up to something, that's why we are saying that the addiction of a person will also depends on how will he/she handle herself, so it is a good decision for you to limit yourself because I also believe even you have a control on yourself, but the thing that you hooked up is lingering around you it's still be hard to resist on it. Anyway well, I also play online casinos that offers crypto but in online and also that's is my reason for me to limit myself from playing always and time to time, in short, it may be a distraction to my concentration in one thing if I will always see it and easily access it.
2134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Real reasons to Why do you gamble? on: January 06, 2020, 05:48:18 AM
Well way back, I'm still playing gambling at. First, my impression is that it is bad because you will only waste money and it can lead to more vise that a person should never use to but after it was introduced by my friend the gambling using crypto means it is an online casino and accept crypto payment, well I do it to entertain myself as well to have bonding with my friends and when I'm bored, so it becomes one of my past time but later on my parents discover and get mad at me so right now I often play gambling not always when I'm bored and when invited by my friends and of course if I have a money that I can afford to lose.
2135  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat Vs Cryptocurrency, which would you choose? on: January 06, 2020, 01:17:29 AM
I have recently been quite curious about the many debates about which currency is better.
  Many people say that they will choose Crypto because it is convenient and creates a common currency, bringing equality to all countries.
And some people choose Fiat money because they've been used to using it for decades and now they have credit cards and wallet payment apps online, so why do you need crypto?
Which side do you think is right? I want to hear from you sincerely.

I prefer to have both when there is a possibility to have both, there is an option not to use any because I am comfortable using both, there are instances that fiat is a must use and I invested in Cryptocurrency because this is a technology that will soon be integrated into every company and countries, and of course there is a profit to be made here.
Well, I think both are great currency. They just have the unique characteristics and their own roles in people and economy I also choose both because I think both of them are important to me. First I use crypto currency, of course, to earn profit by doing posting and investment such as trading or other things, and also I use this to any transactions that offer crypto services for faster, and easier transaction and after that, of course, I need a physical money in my country currency so I will convert it as we all know we cant always use crypto in any transaction we still need fiat currency, and that's the reality.
2136  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin will move up if there is a war with Iran on: January 05, 2020, 01:10:28 PM
Well, at the first place why America and Iran will be at war? Maybe there is an issue I'm not updated with the news because of too busy in school works. Anyway, I don't think so that the price of bitcoin will be affected maybe if really war will emerge then bitcoin prices will drop significantly, but I'm not so sure because we will not know what will happen if a war emerge, I'm sure if war will begin maybe the whole world will affected, but we don't want that to happen so we should hope war will never be happened again.
2137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme, then fiat is a get poor slow scheme on: January 05, 2020, 07:52:15 AM
I found this quality topic on twitter and it all caught my attention. I have seen that fiat is the currency of the Government and Bitcoin is the currency of the people, Can the Government Crash? if so the people cannot Crash neither, because so many people are not making good business from the fiat than in bitcoin, which have provided so much job opportunities for users who are online. Fiat will be replaced soon by bitcoin.

Share your thoughts

i will agree that fiat is get to poor slow scheme if you compare the money you have 10 years ago you will know how the price of money drop
the price of goods rise and the value of money drops if you will save some cash today after 10 years it will not be worth the same.

Maybe you have a point but let's not blame all to the use of fiat money the poor and rich or the status of a person will depends on the person itself its the matter how they will handle their life, if from the start they study hard and finish school then they will have a wonderful living and if they can manage how to use fiat money then they will succeed, yes cryptocurrency is a lot faster to earn and more easier and convenient but let's think of this, the investment we use in crypto is from the fiat, right? So I guess they come hand in hand. In short, in my point is the status of a person will depend on how they will perform in their life.
2138  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts about Bitcoin adoption on: January 05, 2020, 04:36:21 AM
Well before facing the problem about the transaction we need first to think is it possible that with use of bitcoin can be adopt by the government or the country because I know there are country that their government don't accept it or think that with the use of crypto or bitcoin is illegal, but there are some country take bitcoin as not illegal nor legal so let's assume that some country already adopt it then there's an instance that we have a transaction overseas, and that country doesn't accept, or the use of bitcoin in transaction is illegal and hard then what will happen to the transaction?. We think that with the use of bitcoin in transaction will be used worldwide, and what if it is only legalized in your country? It doesn't make sense. So first we or the whole world is ready to accept and adopt crypto and bitcoin as payment menthod, and next will be the problem in transactions, maybe if it is widely used there must be some problems such as transaction traffic and may result to failure or worst lose of transaction, then it is more important before implementing it we need to know or confirm if use of bitcoin will be ready to use in smooth transaction.
2139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Cryptocurrency is better than fiat currency? on: January 05, 2020, 02:32:33 AM
For now, I don't think I can say anything better because fiat currency is still in use at the moment and it'sreally a great thing to use everywhere locally. To make use of it in our daily expenses, we most likely convert crypto to fiat. Definitely it's easier to gain and save crypto while dreaming about future endeavours starting now to plan for the full-time use of crypto worldwide. Crypto is usually better if you want to make big money
Well you do have a point that's why I'm against to those topics or issues saying its better to change all the fiat to cryptocurrency and use it in the future without fiat money, yes there's too many advantages of crypto, its price can change and because of that we can engage to any strategy to earn, and it is decentralized so that no one can access it and own it and that's make it secured and safe to use and also with the use of crypto we can do transaction faster, and even the person or business transaction you are committing is in the other side of the world the transaction can be easily done in short crypto is an advanced technology but let's not forget where we started I believe even in the world become fully advance I know for sure we still need fiat money in case of there's an instance happens.
2140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: January 04, 2020, 01:57:43 PM
Any type of addiction may or may not be gambling, because all addicts can do something horrible to the extent that it costs life and others. I'm gambling but I've made sure I'm gambling moderately because I don't want to be so addicted to gambling and I haven't done anything as dumb as what OP said. Gambling should only be treated as another way to have fun and enjoy to avoid serious addiction. Because in a long term you can never make a living.

That is right. Once we become addicted, we will hard to leave gambling because our mind will always think about gambling, and we will play even if we only have little money. Addicted to gambling can make us borrow some money from other people because we can feel that our luck comes, and that makes us play every time. And in the long term, we will not have a chance to get out of gambling, we will want to play more and more, and even if we win, we want to play again because sometimes winning is not stop us from playing gambling.
addiction is bad , people get addicted fast to which they get instant fun and enjoyment and they want to repeat them because its easy to repeat and if they win they think of doing it more , we should control our addiction before it makes things worst
I believe that anything that has an addiction word in it is bad because even you know that addiction can be in a positive way if it's too much it is still bad in the end and of course gambling also I personally witness and experience the addiction in gambling, way back 2017 my friend and I discover a gambling game in internet that has crypto services, and we invite more of our friends and to tell you I regret doing that thing because we all become addicted and end up regretting everything because of losing many things in our life luckily I get through to it, but my other friends didn't they continue and eventually gone broke. So my point is yes, gambling is entertaining, especially if a person has a discipline and good control, but for those who dont, it will be bad, so if we know someone, then we must do everything we can to pull them on that addiction.
