There are some advantages to online casino over offline ones. The online ones offer lots of fair choices while there aren't much choices with the offline ones.  They can be rigged and there is no easy way to know if they are fair like the online based ones
I don’t think so, both online and offline offers fairness because if not, no more gambler will go to casinos. Playing online is good since it makes more convenient to play but it will still depend on you if you still want the offline games or you are more on online gambling.

Well, not all of the gambling sites. There are still a lot of gambling sites out there that offers "fairness" but they really not. They can just post something like that or make a sign for it in their sites and a lot of people will believe that. People want to earn money in their own ways, even if fooling other people. That is the reason why we need to be really careful.

i think someone need gift knowledge not just money, if you just give money to them they will  always stuck in same situation.
that i say more important to give financial education than money to them, because money can run out, but knowledge will not.

It is not beneficial for governments to have many rich and healthy people. People should learn how to maintain themselves and take care of their health.

And why is that? Why do people keep on telling something and not proving it. Why is that it is not beneficial for the governments of a country to have the rich people and healthy people? If there are a lot of rich people, that will also boost the economy of a country, that will make that country a rich country. With a lot of entrepreneurs and businessmen. Diseases are inevitable as we all know, the of human are vulnerable to these and they will not be able to perfectly take care of their bodies.
2343  Economy / Economics / Re: Perfect example of why governments must hold Bitcoin on: February 01, 2019, 02:26:58 PM
If government speculate holding bitcoin rather than gold, i think its very risky because bitcoin not regulated yet. Many country not recognized bitcoin and bitcoin market cap value still low compare government budget.


Well, I think the reason is that Bitcoin is so volatile and it is decentralized the reason they will not be holding it. Unlike gold, it is stable and been there for a lot of years now. Gold will never easily be forgotten or be replaced by other investments or asset, Gold will be Gold like Bitcoin will be Bitcoin. Even though Bitcoin was not recognized by a lot of countries, banned to be exact, it still has its own great accomplishments and we are all part of that.
2344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling strategies (beliefs) on: January 26, 2019, 11:59:02 PM
Yeah I think the best strategy is when you can go out when you've won, have control yourself so you don't play longer because you
must know it will end up in a loss, because it's useless to use any strategy if you play for a long time right?

It is the best strategy in gambling but it is also the hardest one especially for those who can't really control themselves from risking their money into gambling. I've known a lot of my friends to be like this, well it includes myself also as I am an addict to gambling in the past, I've experienced that moment when I should really go out with my profit and then my greediness stopped me and keep me from gambling until I lost all of them. It is so hard to control thyself from getting out of casinos so be wary of that.
2345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is growing at nonstop rates in my country on: January 26, 2019, 11:41:21 PM
There are a lot of Gambling centers ,mostly sport betting in my area too . Its actually a new phenomenon and growing at an alarming rate.  Every one of them is filled with gamblers of every class. Some owners mix the betting with football viewing centers
I also seeing gambling will developing a lot more than before and the people will attracted to gambling and interested to do gamble for their money so it is also good for the development of gambling so much easily but it needs some Regulation and improvement also.

What will they develop? Gambling has been so innovative these past years with their own ways of live bets, online casinos that also accepts crypto currencies, I think that will be it in another 2 years or so. Also, I don't think people should be interested in gambling at all since we all know how it goes for those who got addicted to it, including me ofc.
2346  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we get people to use bitcoin as a currency? on: January 26, 2019, 01:52:01 PM
I have used bitcoin to buy goods (some items), we can only transact with people who understand bitcoin and cryptocurrency if we use bitcoin to someone who does not understand it he will never want to use it . and of course if bitcoin stable more people want bitcoin

That is obvious man. And why would they even accept Bitcoin if they know nothing about it? These merchants accept Bitcoin since they know that they will be having a profit in the long run. And if you are saying that people will want Bitcoin more if it is stable, I think that will be harder since we all know that Bitcoin is a decentralized and a volatile crypto currency.
2347  Economy / Economics / Re: You Can Now Keep Your Bitcoins In A Bank on: January 26, 2019, 01:03:13 PM
I would never agree to give my bitcoins to the bank. Bitcoin was conceived as an independent currency and in order to make people independent. And here they offer intermediaries in the form of a bank. No, thanks. But I'm a bank to myself.

That is right. We don't need other people, third parties to hold our crypto currencies, Bitcoin is a deventralized crypto currency, as most of the people say it, Bitcoin is a free currency. Instead of letting other people to manage our currencies, we should be the one doing it since we can do it by ourselves. I am not saying that we should not use the bank, I am saying that in terms of crypto currencies, we don't need a bank.
2348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please DON'T pay any taxes on your crypto! on: January 26, 2019, 11:26:53 AM
I know that you have a good intention in this post but some people that read this might follow you and might end up in big trouble. They have their own regulations pertaining Bitcoin and crypto currencies in their country and as a citizen of that country, they should follow it. We don't know what might happen to them if they followed your suggestion but all we know is that they should obey the rules.
2349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What currencies do you gamble with? on: January 26, 2019, 10:13:12 AM
My favorite cryptocurrency that I use for my gambling entertainment is TRX. It has a lightning speed of transactions so I don't have any slack time between my bets. I think one more crypto in this philosophy is EOS. I think that it has a high speed of transactions same as TRX, but I have never tried it. It is best if you want to bet on sports live and you want to place your bet fast.

Wow, nice information you've got there. Never knew what is TRX means and I am also finding other crypto currencies to be used. So far know, what I am only using is BTC and some altcoins like ETH, Dogecoin and Litecoin. They are not that fast when it comes to transaction and I hope TRX is faster than them. Thanks for the info.
2350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is growing at nonstop rates in my country on: January 26, 2019, 12:05:03 AM
Commercial gambling ads will be available only in the countries who supported gambling to grow and probably your government let this happen because they admitted gambling as industry and can be good source tax for them but besides all of it i think they will also thinking the risk behind it especially i read your post that there was casinos near to high school locations and it's very risky to childrens at there will attempts to gambling because casinos is too easy to be access

As far as the risk of casino is concerned to the school going children, it does not matter if the casino is built near the school or not. As gambling is available online, anyone can easily access it at any time.  By using bitcoins, one even does not need credit card to play gambling which makes if further more easier.

I don't think that apply to all of the schools of pre-school to universities. In our country gambling is a serious matter and students are not allowed to go that places. As far as I know, there are laws that that kind of places should not be a built or be close to the school in a certain distance. Students are even said to be not smoking at that same distance. Though with the really use of Bitcoin, everytime, everywhere, students from children to adults can gamble and spend either their Bitcoin or their money.
2351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with normal games on: January 25, 2019, 11:31:25 PM
It's difficult to find friend want to gambling because most of my friend, avoid gambling !
When I try to tell them about crypto, they are also avoid as well because crypto trading is risky activity.

What would I do ?
I try to find another day and try to show my trading portfolio about crypto and they start thinking about it...
You can still play gambling even without your friends especially if they are not interested in gambling and crypto. Do not force them to get into crypto, it is not your loss anyway. You can still play gambling with normal games with other people if you really want to.

I guess it is a good for the OP since most of his friends are avoiding gambling. Most of the things we have done in our lives our and been addicted to are things that we've done by our friends since it is fun and it is really addicting when they are around doing the same thing. But if they will not be gambling and they are avoiding it, I know there will come a time that you will be the same as your friend.
2352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been able to resist? on: January 22, 2019, 11:20:04 PM
I guess your point is that all hobbies are healthy including gambling but all in moderation. Gambling once in a while for fun is good , with this you can avoid getting addict and you can still resist with the temptation of betting again. Strong will power and self control is the key.

You know, with out this self control, you can still stop your gambling addiction. Will, it is the only thing you should trust. I am also addicted to gambling in the past and I know that it is really hard to get through addiction. In fact it took me years to get through that and of course, it is possible with the help of my loved ones. It is hard at first but when you can already see the reason why you are stopping, it is getting easier and easier. Don't get me wrong though, I am still gambling, that is just a proof that it is so hard to stop but I can keep myself from losing a lot unlike in the past. I gamble but now, I can control myself.
2353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Outside risk: similarities between gambling and trading? on: January 20, 2019, 12:15:40 AM
These two has a lot of similarities with each other, for example risk and analyzing. Gambling and investing may not be the same but we are all risking our money to earn more. Though investing also includes risk, it is better than gambling. I earned a lot from investing in years, there are also some losses but I do earn than loss unlike gambling.
2354  Economy / Economics / Re: what should consider before investing in a coin? on: January 19, 2019, 11:49:45 PM
Investing in ICO is a very difficult thing, it is difficult what I say is our process so that what we invest can be a profit in the future. Teams, communities and even community feedback also have an influence on the future of ICO coins.

Investing in ICOs is not that hard, the hard thing about investing on them is the fact that you need to be really careful since there are a lot of scammers. These scammers are taking advantage of the people that are desperate to earn money. So if you consider investing on cryptos or ICOs, always remember to ask someone about it especially the ones that can tell whether it is a scam or not.
2355  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Worth To Be Currency? on: January 19, 2019, 11:19:58 PM
Of course Bitcoin worth to be a currency, because it is already simply used by so many people around the world to buy and sell items online and offline, and it is mainly created to be a currency, with so many attractive features making it better than fiat currencies.

For you it might be but for me, it is not. Bitcoin is being used by a lot of people around the world, that might be right but the thing is that they are just using it as an investment. Who would want to use a currency that changes its prices eveey sinlge time? That is really frustrating since people should really look on how they will be able to earn their profit and if they will be using Bitcoin, they will deal with its volatility that is really hard to deal with.
2356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where we are now with Gambling on: January 19, 2019, 10:33:09 PM
With the technology changes, people are getting decentralized and they are leaving all the traditional ways of living. Before the era of smartphone, everyone used to have a good camera but now, no one is more interested other than the one who is producing video or in some rare case people with interest. That's how the world works.

We already left the traditional ways of living, who would like to hunt and eat what they get? I know there are some people that would do that but now, it is different. Also, how can you say that we have a good camera? What is happening is not a bad thing but a development. We have the camera and the smartphone, it is efficiency, and that is technology for you. If you will not be using them, or even know them, you will be left out. That is the same with gambling, with a lot of sites using auto and manual bets, it is easier for people that is doing their jobs to gamble their money while they are away.
2357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: January 19, 2019, 09:53:22 PM
All these are true. Good job for classifying those. If you doesnt have any self control, you will end up experiencing this all. Dont get too attached on quick cash and never get addicted to it. Remember that there are always a family waiting for you to go home. Fix yourself and enjoy life. You can sure gamble but not to be addict on it.
The addiction comes from the intention why the people were gambling, this because of money then they will get addicted eventually only the fun part is important to get well gambling and also make sure that you can gamble long run without much issues.

Well, to be exact, their greediness. The reaaon people are getting addicted to gambling is that they are being greedy to earn money. Earning money is gambling is easy, I am saying this because you are just there, sitting and waiting for your bet to win though despite that it is easy to ewrn money on gambling, it is hard for you to win.
2358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people refuse to accept bitcoin? on: January 19, 2019, 09:21:28 PM
Why would anyone accept bitcoin if its value can drop 70/80 percent within a year. This is certainly not a store of value and if there is a collapse in confidence, people will go to what they understand which are currencies backed by the government.

Well that is obvious. People will just use the currencies they are familiar with and they can trust, that is the fiats. It is true that crypto currencies are so volatile and it will really drive off other people. Also, in my country, some people are thinking that Bitcoin is a scam. It is funny though since they are believing such things.
2359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it Game Over for Bitcoin? on: January 19, 2019, 02:20:21 PM
no, I do not believe bitcoin will be game over because the world of technology continues to grow and in the future bitcoin will become a common commodity, unless the world goes back to time we don't know modern technology like now, for example in the stone age Grin
That might happen but i will not be called the Stone Age but the After-apocalyptic age. Some movies and other predict that if this will happen, it will be after the war that will happen, might be after the Nuke Bomb. We don't know what might happen all we know is that it is still has its value. So while the value is still there, take advantage of the price movements.
2360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nobody wins in gambling anyway on: January 19, 2019, 11:57:05 AM
That is the reason why people should make a distance in gambling. You see, people tends to choose the path to least resistance, a path that is more easier and more efficient for people. Gambling is a way to earn easy money, yes it is easy to earn but the probability of you winning is low. That is the reason a lot of people are losing than winning. Instead of pushing their limits to other things they are putting it on gambling, I don't know what is the difference of gambling and focusing on your job? I think gambling is just way more easier to do than their jobs.
Thats why its called gambling the opportunity of winning is so few than losing,and its not comparable to job because they are two different thing gamblig is vices while job is a work or task but your right about getting money easier in gambling compared to job

Gambling don't gave us a good chance of winning, we are all depending on our lucks at that day and that is not really reliable as a source of income to be honest. Do you want to earn your money through your luck? I am not saying that if you do you can't, I am saying that luck is not that reliable when it comes to earning money.
