Well u have a big hole in your theory.
First just bc u buy everything your child wants doesnt make it happy. It will eventually get spoilt and will be a hug epain in the ass bc it will always demand more and more.

You might be right but we are talking about the person talking about it and that means it is the happiness of the parent to buy things to their children that wants it. If you are not a parent, you will not know what joy can bring to parents whenever they see their children happy. If you are talking about spoiling, I guess you do not know how to take care of them since if you really know how to take care of your children, you will give them anything that can make them happy without spoiling them. It might sound ironic but it can be done.

Man usually deals on what is in their hands and that is the great thing about us but the problem of them is the barrier, the shell they are putting to themselves rather than opening them to other people.

Man usually hides their emotions, their feelings to other people and they just deal with it by themselves. That is the reason they need partners in their life because most of us man usually end up destroying our own lives because of this.
3083  Economy / Economics / Re: its not about how much you invested, its when you should invest? on: May 14, 2018, 07:17:18 AM
kinda strange when investing in a volitile  market. you can spend 10,000 $ into the market in january and come out less. than what a person invested in april with 10,000 $.
Yes , It is true. Investing is not how much , but when you invest it in the right time. If you invest in the right time, you will get alot profits from it. In my opinion investing like that.

I think this still depends. There are times that people usually invest a lot of money at the start and leave a long period of time so that it can grow in the long run. If you think of it, it is not standing by itself because if that certain investor use these two strategy at the same time, that is a huge profit.
3084  Economy / Economics / Re: Charity Accepting Bitcoins? on: May 14, 2018, 06:40:00 AM
If a charity accepts bitcoin, I am willing to donate. I had done donations before, and it was a happy thing to help others. But I must know that my donation will be used correctly because many donations are being abused.

I also did some charity donations in the past but that is not a donation using digital currencies but only using fiat or real money and sometimes things that we like but do not really use it anymore. Our country always experience strong typhoons every year and there are no year that we did not experience a strong typhoon. Saying that, people always help each other through donations and I am also helping them using fiat, though using Bitcoin will also be efficient.
3085  Economy / Economics / Re: Is banking still important in the bitcoin era? on: May 14, 2018, 05:48:50 AM
Financial technologies such as bitcoin, P2P lending and crowdfunding are just beginning to take off, and businesses involved in the industry pose little immediate threat to traditional commercial banks. Banks, after all, the country's economic lifeline, so I think the bank is still very important, do you think?

Bitcoin makes our savings more secure and efficient since we are the one who are managing our balances but not all of the people will be using Bitcoin that easily. The economy of one's country is also reliant on banks.

See gambling is not a full time employment and it is completely different type of enterinmnet. We should not consider gambling as very serious money making, otherwise, you will end up in loss. This might be bad option if you keep gambling it might damage your ethics of loosing money.

Well, people know this and they are still hoping that they will be getting a good money out of Gambling since a lot of people are winning in this kind of game though what they did not know is that these people who won also experience a lot of losses before they experience a great win. In these times, people tend to choose the most easiest way to earn money and that is risking your money with a greater win but with a higher risk and one of them is gambling.
3087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shyness in gambling on: May 14, 2018, 04:28:10 AM
the only thing that made me embarrassed was when I lost a second time, like losing my self-esteem. as well as money lost, such as losing self-esteem.

I don't see it as a bad thing. Gambling is a bad thing every time you became proud of yourself on winning some even though you lose a lot more than that.

Losing your self esteem means that you will be having a hard time gambling again especially in the casino where you got embarrassed and I see that as an opportunity to get yourself out of gambling, it is for your own good, man. Think again on gambling your money since you might build again your self esteem on gambling and the worst might happen, in which being addicted on gambling.
I think if it is our first time to bet in a real casino then its normal to feel ashamed setting on the table, like me when I first to play real tong-its, I feel shy from my opponents and watchers thinking that they have bad comments about my play strategy.

That is a given since it is your first time and I also think that it is a good thing not because you are shy but because you are being aware of what you are doing. Being afraid or shy has it own positive effect to people and I think it is a good thing that can help people in the long run. It might be a good thing for us since we are being shy to our opponents, we might consider to stop gambling.
3088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 14, 2018, 03:30:27 AM
LeBron is on the mission again this year, and for you guys who thinks Celtics can overcome the Cavs, well sorry to say but the chances are very low without their 2 superstars. Experience has a higher winning percentage. Remember what happened with the OKC in the 2012 NBA finals? That team was stacked with young talents, but they lost because they dont have experienced the pressure and atmosphere in a playoff championship game.
It wouldve been a good competetive match up if both teams have a healthy roster.
I agree that the Cavaliers had a big advantage over the Celtics on paper but let us remember that the Sixers are pretty much dominating the Celtics on paper also and it did not translate into the game. The Celts dominated the Sixers and this might also happen to the Cavaliers if they will be overconfident that they will win over the Celtics.
With Kyrie Irving missing from the lineup I just think that it’s enough for the Cavaliers to get the victory just because of one Lebron James alone who has been in great form and have proven  many of his critics wrong.
Even though it is only game one but i think it is a good sign for the Celtics and also a confidence booster for the that they can beat the Cavaliers in this series.

A lot of Cavaliers fan are being proud of what can Lebron James do to carry the team but I think they did not include the fact that Celtics plays as a team and not a team that let someone do the winning. Cavaliers might have another strategy after this game and I think it will be very hard to do that. Boston Celtics may win the Eastern Conference Finals, well, how about the Western? Who's you're bet?
3089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Bitcoin was a worst decision of my life on: May 13, 2018, 10:37:43 AM
people who are losing bitcoin because of the bitcoin price deceleration. good to do cash out first for avoidance loss


But the thing about it is that Bitcoin is very unpredictable when it comes to it's price. It is so hard to predict whether holding your digital currencies or maybe cashing them out to avoid the dump but you still don't know whether it will be having a dump or not.

This is the mistake of a lot of people who want to invest on digital currencies, they do not add the fact that investing on digital currency is a big risk since Bitcoin is a very volatile digital currency. If you know someone who wants to invest on digital currencies, tell it cons before it pros so they will not be disappointed to its result.
3090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This guy has lost 103 Bitcoins on: May 13, 2018, 08:41:29 AM
Wow, he has actually 103 Bitcoin in his wallet. He must be really disappointed with losing his wallet.dat. I wish he gets it soon as possible back but that is nearly impossible.

Actually who is this guy ? Does he has a name ?
 
Just heard the name, but actually did not know if it was true, if it was true that he lost 103 BTC I wish he would find them soon, who took his, please open it back to him. Take a little, do not force him into the path of poverty.
Yes for sure it is really a high lose, but it use to happen with new user most of the time only because they become careless for the safety of bitcoin if they won’t share their private key with anyone, and will buy after making high research then I don’t think this kind of news will come in front of us, but we should remain careful while buying bitcoin because people are there to hack and scam your bitcoin just stay active mate.

Are you even reading the OP? It says he lost his wallet.dat file the reason he can't open his wallet and obviously making those bitcoin lost forever. He did not gave his private key and he is not a new user as he said that he is a miner back in 2011.

In terms of losing our digital currencies, Hacking and scamming is not the only way. Being irresponsible to our assets is another way of losing our money the same as the guy that we are talking about now.

I still can't decide whether I should make a bet in favor of GSW for the Tuesday's game or not. They are in very god form right now, with Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson performing exceptionally well. But so is the Houston Rockets. James Harden can be a tough nut to crack for the GSW.

Houston Rockets is a great team this season and I gotta tell you, they will be giving a good fight since these two teams are having a breeze match since the playoffs. I guess we will be seeing a Game 7 this finals, whether it is Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics or Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets.

It is time to put your bets.

Crypto is the way of the future. Months ago I invested a lump sum of money once my son was born, this will definitely pay off in the long run as the value increases.

It is great hearing a parent sacrificing their money for the future of their children but we all know that digital currencies are very volatile and you will not know if you will be having a profit in the long run or not.

As a user, I don't suggest that you put all of your money into digital currency since, as I said above, it is risky though it is worth the patience if the price increases. There are a lot of investments that will make ensure your son's future instead of putting it all on your investment on digital currency. If you want to ensure a future, mutual bond is a good thing for your son while he grows.
3094  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best investment is bitcoin on: May 12, 2018, 04:51:49 PM
Bitcoin can be very profitable, but also it is very volative and risky, so bitcoin in my opinion is for serious players only

There are a lot of investors that are investing now on digital currencies since a lot of other investors told them how these digital currencies give them profit through time, and I don't think they are all serious players.

Digital currencies are so volatile in terms of price because of their decentralization, no one is keeping the value or price of a digital currency. That is why I don't suggest investors to be that serious in terms of investing on digital currencies because they will be really devastated when the price dumps.
3095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: May 12, 2018, 02:48:20 PM
It depends on what you are after and what you are ready to lose.
Best way to gamble is to use the money which will not affect anything extremely in your life after you've lost it due to bad luck otherwise you might have to suffer a bit cause of that decision of yours.
-You might get addicted to it.
-Might sell your personal stuff if to recover your losses.
-Much worse.
Sometimes it depends on the person involved, because some may gamble but they don't go as far as selling properties just sate their gambling hunger. Gambling is known to break homes and render people homeless with no prospects for the future.
Yes it depends on a person because others just let go and move on while those who are really addicted to gambling end up like selling their properties or anything that they can think of because they want to chase their losses without realizing that it can make them lose more.

I think that kind of people are not in the proper way of thinking since we all know that gambling will really eat all of what you have.

The only great thing you can get out of gambling is just entertainment, it is really for entertaining purposes only and not for something that can give you profit in time unless you are a rich people with a lot of money to invest that you can start your own gambling site or casino.
3096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and investment - different discussion on: May 12, 2018, 01:30:09 PM
if for myself it is better to invest than gamble. because investing is very safe profit my money and if gamble it has a very big risk because it has violated the rules of state and religion also

In terms of risk, the truth? They are the same. The reason why investing are often times called also gambling since we are taking in on the risk and no one knows if you will be able to gain a profit or not but the good thing is you are risking your money for good but in terms of gambling, you are risking your money in your luck in which we all know that it is hard to ensure your money on your luck since you do not know whether it is your lucky day or not.
3097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If gambling is illegal in your country, would you still gamble? on: May 12, 2018, 02:10:22 AM
We can hide our habit with crypto. So, I will keep gambling even though it is forbidden to do. But for sure I will do it with very carefull so none able to notice it.

With the use of Digital currencies, we can gamble or use them in the way that we want where people will not recognize that we are the one using it since it is anonymous, but not really.

If Gambling is forbidden in our country, I guess a lot of people will be complaining since in our country, gambling is just an entertainment, a way that people can pass time and have fun with others so I guess people will still find a way to gamble but me, I am sticking gambling online since I can gamble in some sites for free.
3098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did the use of online gambling increase with crypto moneys? on: May 11, 2018, 10:39:54 AM
Since crypto currencies became a hit, a lot of people desired to use it in a way of taking advantage of its anonymity it may be a good one or a bad one. Some of them used it illegally but knowing that they can still be caught since Bitcoin's anonymity is not at the fullest, most of them stop. Then there comes the online gambling with its cheap deposit and anonymous transaction so people can gamble freely.
3099  Economy / Economics / Re: How will crypto go long term? on: May 08, 2018, 04:41:42 PM
I am fairly new to the crypto world. During my short time, I have contemplated how crypto will go down over the next few years.

Slowly, over time more regulations will be adopted worldwide. This is not because regulators are scared that people are getting scammed, but because they will start limiting this world from us small fish so the banks and "qualified" investors can tke over. All the large banks will then push their own crypto, and we will be left with nothing.

In my opinion, it is in our best interest to gain enough profit so we will have the funds to become qualified investors, and be able to re-enter the markets through the banks exchanges.

What does everyone else think? Do you think the big fish will continue allowing us to do trading long term, or are our days numbered?

Cryptocurrency will be good for long term investment because of the different people in the market who are investing a huge amount of coins and it makes the volume of cryptocurrency to grow even more so we can secure that bitcoins do really have a bright future.

Having the support of a lot of people are not enough if that certain digital currency is not being developed based on what is its function and purpose. A lot of people are using other digital currencies especially the feature that Bitcoin don't have, well that is the reason why they are called altcoin, short for an alternative currency for Bitcoin.

Everything depends and varies from person to person including their favorite games and many more. A gamblers mindset has been to wide a we can't definitely says a person was addicted or not. We were play because of the possible price to won correct me if im wrong but that is how most people think about.

A lot of people are over thinking how a Gamblers mind works and I think there are only some reasons that we can really understand with out thinking very deep about it.

We all know gamblers gamble to win but there are some gamblers that gamble just to escape the reality or maybe to entertain themselves, a past time. The higher the money they can get, the more people are attracted to gamble that is correct, but not all of the time.
