I try to tell my friends about riptocurrency. Many people are skeptical about Bitcoin, but I think that this will change over time. But some began to invest in cryptocurrency after I told them about Bitcoin.
I don't do the same thing as you do since there are a lot of people in the past that blamed me when they've invested on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies and the prices started to go down. I am telling them that it is just the certain movement since they are volatile but they are not believing me, well since then the price are still at the low price ever since the ATH. They've understand now how the prices moves but they did not invest again since they have more success on investing on other assets. |

Of course fiat currency is necessary, for me it's more convenient if use fiat currency in every transactions and you can easily used it, unlike cryptocurrency you can't used it without internet connection and you have to be knowledgeable in crypto if we were going to used this kind of currency.
Fiats are necessary not only because it is more convenient than than the crypto currencies but also because it is the currency being used by a lot of people for a long time now. If the government will be changing that quickly, a lot of people will be having an argument since not all of the people really want to change things, most of them want they had used to be. Also, currencies has their national identity on it, removing it and using Bitcoin is like removing your national currency off the globe. |

Lebron is having one of his best three point seasons of all his career, not only he is shooting well as a percentage but also he is shooting a lot of threes. I know dude really takes care of himself and his body in order to play for a long time and all of his 2003 draft mates are getting older and getting cut from the teams while he is still standing as the best player in the league but changing your game after so many years must be really difficult. Only a person like Lebron can achieve it. Dude came into the league as an explosive guy who could dunk anytime he wants and improved himself incredibly well first into post up game and now into his threes as well. When you are a threat like that it becomes harder to defend you and as a marvelous passer he uses that much better now as well. I can't believe how anyone can hate Lebron.
Lebron will hold up like Jordan or Karl Malone and still being averaging 20 ppg at 40 years old. I still think people calling Lebron the greatest of all time is ridiculous though. Michael Jordan was leaps and bounds ahead of James and didn't fold under pressure like the "King". This argument is long running now and I don't think we need to compare them. They have the time difference that makes it harder, in terms of the time, Michael won the comparison as he is defending with great players, Lebron James won the post season accomplishments, so where will we based the "GOAT", I don't know, people has their own explanation to it. If you want to read a good comparison, here's one. https://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/michael-jordan-vs-lebron-james/ |

Traditional systems will keep working till people get used to bitcoins. It will get a lot of time before people start accepting and paying in crypto universally.
Why can you say that it would take a lot of time for everyone to accept and use Bitcoin as a payment of system? A lot of people knew these for years now and a lot of them are actually using it for almost 10 years now. It is accepted and being used all over the world, except for the banned countries, obviously. |

because bitcoin is an asset that is very promising the results that are obtained, so most of the users of the bitcoin are definitely economically guaranteed and fulfilled too...
Good income countries will take this opportunity to increase their wealth later so if they want to invest a little of their money it won't make them bankrupt. If you will be an investor, you should know or be certain that you will be getting a good profit out of it in the near future. You can't waste your money and time unto something even though it is small or large. Wasted money and time is also important so we should really manage them very carefully. |

The fee is too high and Bitcoin users are less, currntly a lot people had moved to their original payment processor.
Well, I think there are types of Bitcoin users, the one that literally uses Bitcoin in terms of payment method and the other Bitcoin user is the one that invests and trades Bitcoin to earn profit. In terms of Bitcoin users that make Bitcoin a payment method, they use Bitcoin as a currency while investors don't usually use Bitcoin instead they save or hold it I think that is the reason why you say taht Bitcoin users are less but the truth, there are a lot of Bitcoin users in the world just using the function of Bitcoin, the anonymity. |

bitcoin have the limited supply of 21M, and already 17M coins mined, only 4M coins remaining to be mined.
Well, if you will be thinking to it logically, the supply of Bitcoin is 21 million but reading articles, statements and watching news, there are a lot of people that is mistakenly send Bitcoin to wrong addresses, lost their hard drives and forgotten their keys the reason the supply these days is not really exact at 21 million. If there are 17 millions mined, then I think there are only 2M+ or 1M Bitcoins that is needed to be mined and that will be really hard since the longer the year, the harder it will be mined. But why only 2M? Well because the rumor of Satoshi Nakamoto having the 1M and the another not exactly 1M, that is lost and forgotten. |

Not a waste of time, I gamble because I enjoy the stakes and everything, It relieves my stress, though if you go too far gambling can also give you stress, self-control is probably the most important thing that you need to remember when in gambling.
I agree with you about the self control, many things in life needs our self control including in gambling where in many cases there are people who lost their life and family because they got addicted until the part where they are already selling home stuffs just to continue gambling chasing losses But there are a lot of things that can affect this control of ourselves for example our emotion or feelings. For example, you are winning 20 win streak and you have now a profit that is close to 30 times more than your money that you brought. For people that is saying control is the secret, they will eventually go out of gambling sites or casinos but for people that are greedy, they will not stop as long as they are feeling the pleasure of winning a lot of money. That is the reason why they are in the casino at the first place, right? |

We can say for sure because gambling is a part of hobby, the risky hobby.
Let's take an example , why people want to purchase drug although they know it's addictive things ?
Because there is a joy inside it so it's also in gambling.
Loneliness and dissatisfaction are some factor that the chance is low !
The causes of addiction can be anything and the number is also relatively large. Lack of attention from the closest people, wrong relationships, and much more. Loneliness and dissatisfaction are only two factors that can drag people into deviant hobbies including gambling and drugs. Good point, but now let's think of what is more dangerous to be engaged with among the two. Almost every country has a lottery of a kind and many countries have casinos while drugs like heroin, cocaine and meth are illegal almost everywhere. And I think there is a reason for that, drugs are much more dangerous for anyone than gambling is. So, if someone escapes loneliness and depression through engaging with gambling, maybe it is not so bad, unless the person becomes a gambling addict, which happens with from 3% to 5% of gamblers. They are really different things and this is why we do see different treatment or legality of gambling on each country some banned it but most of them allowed it rather than on drugs etc. We do know the effects of it among the two which I do completely agree to the thing had been said that gambling isn't so bad the only thing is that when addiction hits you then you surely mess up your life. Then we should fight the addiction and not the gambling itself. I disagree with the notion that staying away from gambling forever could be a good solution for anybody. It could be good for some people, but in most cases people would find another activity to become addicted to, and that addiction could be much more dangerous than gambling addiction. As long as there are individuals who tend to be addicted to something we should think of which addiction is the lesser evil, and maybe stop criticizing them if they are addicted to something more or less harmless. addiction is still adiction no matter how safe or dangerous it is and i dont believe that it is caused by loneliness or disatisfaction but it is only caused by your own liking . now in the case of gambling , we can still play it and choose to not be addicted to it by doing some self controlling methods such as limiting your self and diverting your self onto some other things that is more important . Addiction in gambling happens due to one main reason which is money , whether a person is lonely or not if they start considering the gambling as a source to earn money this is where the problems begins and causes the various side effects of it. Well, that goes really more deep, the most reason why a lot of people are gambling, well being addicted to gambling is the pleasure of winning a lot of money easily and their greed of winning those big amount money. The more people won the gambling prices, the more people will be envying that certain people winning and be greedy and pleasured winning in the short run while in the long run, they are losing a lot. |

The cryptocurrencies have now good movement. Actually the bitcoin rises 10% today and I think that its price will grow more. There is now a sign that the bull market will happen in this month.
We don't need to be sure of that since even the price rises, there are some times that the price goes back to $3000+ and just go back to it's current price right now. The best thing to do right now is to invest as there are a lot of other investors that are taking advantage of the fall. With that, it can make the price rise again and might fall again as a lot of investors do that. |

This is also my question because bitcoin market price fall down is really that huge and this is not normal I guess. But, for some the market price down is just normal and it could even fall down to 3K USD sharp which will probably going to happen. People with huge investments plays a big role on this market price down. I just hope that market will going to recover.
Not normal? I am asking these also but not the price but the people who are investing on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. The roller coaster price changes is normal, you know why? Because you are investing in a volatile crypto currency and ever small transactions can make a change. People are happy seeing the price of Bitcoin pumping up to 5 digits but when it falls down people start questioning what is happening calling it "not normal". Bitcoin price pumps are not normal to start with so don't ask questions and make a move before you are too late. Bitcoin moves fast and if you will be not going with it's speed, you will be regretting it. |

You don't have to worry about blockchain technology, but you know that you can see that many blockchain technologies on the market will not be future. The blockchain needs a growth period. The 5G commercial + blockchain + artificial intelligence is linked together, and the blockchain must be able to reshape the world. But you can't invest blindly now.
It goes without saying that we do need the blockchain. These technologies are something cooler than the Internet even. i am glad that many countries have already understood it and start using them. If you will be thinking of it, we don't need the Blockchain since it is a technology that can be developed and be forgotten in the long run. We all know how fast technologies are being developed and improved, in the future, there will be a much better technology that might change the place of the Blockchain in the scene of technology. I don't think of other technologies that may replace the Blockchain in the place of crypto currencies but in terms of other things, there might be a lot that will be invented in the near future. |

I always like to follow what the market trend is. Bitcoin most atimes is influenced by news and that's what I follow. I like to buy the rumours and always sell the news
Well, I do the same but I don't really "follow" the market's trend, I make a strategy or a plan based on what is happening in the market. If you can analyse the possible movements of the price, I think it will really give you a good profit in the future. Some of those news might also be a scam or a FUD so you really need to be careful, in the end, the Bitcoin price chart is still the safest source of information as an investor. |

Yes I always believe that Bitcoin will comeback and market will rich again .in this reason I hold my altcoins, ethereum and bitcoin for getting a better profit in future.
I do also believe that it will be having a comeback but comeback, I think is not the word to describe it. Bitcoin is a volatile crypto currency and we all know that when it tends to dump, it will eventually go up but why? I think that reason is the investors. There are a lot of investors in the world and most of them take the advantage of the dump of the Bitcoin so they can earn good amount when the price rise up. |

Last week in the Philippines the government legitimize the usage of cryptocurrency and there many online shops in that country that has started accepting bitcoin for transaction settlement. As we hope that ETF will come on board with Bakkt which is in negotiation with Starbucks which means Starbucks will accept bitcoin for payments
Last week? I am from Philippines and I don't know that they just legalized Bitcoin and other crypto currencies last week? Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are legalized in our country for a long time now the reason there are a lot of online wallets that is also connected to a lot of other payment methods like paying bills on water and on electricity. |

That was some exciting game with GSW against the Toronto Raptors.
2nd unit game the Raptors a hard time to win the game. Even with their 18 point lead, GSW stepped up and tried to get back to the game.
Kevin Durant though, damn he is really a monster. Drake's expression though was funny. He was WOW'ed at what KD could do.
They got to overtime and the Toronto Raptors got the win. Iguodala made 2 major errors but it is okay, they did their best without Green and Curry.
The warriors would be stronger with their Curry and Green back in the game, but it seems like Durant has finally find his rule and scores big time. Warriors haters are happy now, lol.. because this is the day that the Lakers won and the warriors loss. With these games without Stephen Curry, we can now say that Kevin Durant can't really bring the team to win. Stephen Curry can carry his team before Kevin Durant became a GSW, that is my opinion, you can have your own. I know KD is better than Stephen but as a team, I will vote for Stephen Curry than Kevin Durant, as I said, that is just my opinion. |

Going in vacation or doing a hobby of yours is not really a definitive solution to quit gambling. Sure it helps to go on vacation but as long as you have your cell phone with you , you can still gamble from wherever you are. Doing a hobby will keep you busy for a few hours but then after you finish you will be back in gambling.
True definitive solution is to ask professional help.
Professional help will only add to your expenses, and it will be useless if you don't have the desire to leave, which is cured is not your habit but your mind and heart. if you intend not to gamble again and commit to that promise, then you can definitely get out of gambling Gambling addiction is not an easy illness. I knew a lot of gamblers and they are not that easily handed out by gambling as even if they are crying every night regretting that they ever gambled, they'd still come back since their body are used to that kind of activity every day. You will really need a professional help, your money will not be wasted to that kind of medication since if your addiction is not cured quickly, it might take more years to recover while instead of that recovering, you are already starting a new career. Indeed. It is true that getting a help or seeking a professional about your problem is not a waste of money neither of your time. You should not tolerate yourself on saving your money in these times, you should focus on what can be done to yourself. If you don't get professional help at these stage, that payment that should be used on professionals, you will be just using that on gambling in the long run, trust me. Get a professional and stick your brain and heart to it, that is for you. |

I see hope in Bitcoin. A currency that knows no boundary with very cheap transaction fees. Transactions are fast, reliable and efficient. Most importantly it is nt controlled by anybody and the changes of one making it is higher with bitcoin than the fiat currency.
Cheap transaction fees? I don't think so. There are a lot of times in the past that a lot of people are being hit by the transaction fees. Right now, it is not that seen mostly since the price is the focus of people. When you will be thinking about it, it is better to use debit/credit cards than bitcoin as a payment method. |

Aside from trading crypto currencies an be used in online payment there are online shops and normal shops specially in Japan who accepts bitcoin as payment.
A lot of countries also accepts Bitcoin as a payment. It might not be that favorable to other investors and traders since the price of Bitcoin can pump or dump. Other Crypto currency users use Bitcoin and other crypto to gamble. It is a popular way of using Bitcoin now and there are a lot of times that it is being use to bet on online gambling sites. |

Yep I did it several times, but I don't have any kids or wife. At this time I just remember how many times I won and how many times lost, after that I understand that I won much often, so I'm getting better.
You are a lucky gambler man. I remember a lot of times that I've won and it is always ending up being lost since I always push myself to gamble and think that I will still win in the long run. I don't even know that there are gamblers like that since I don't see myself getting better, I see myself getting worst and worst in terms of getting addicted again in gambling. |
