its equal the positive effect can turn into negative if you dont know how to play gambling in a right way except of course on the luck thing because we cant predict our luck and we cant produce luck every game no matter how you build a good strategy but to other factors you can always do them like for example when you play only in moderation so that you will not get addicted  . 

it does not depend of the person or gambler because i know that we can avoid this primary issue on gambling if we  really wanted  to .
3162  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will the gambling addicts do now that the casinos have closed? on: March 26, 2020, 10:24:57 PM
not all casinos are closed but there are still online or you can still play gambling within your place as long as you know that people on your place are virus free so there is no point from stopping them but if ever they only love the traditional way of gambling such as playing on a real life casino that is now close then this event can be a good way to cure thier gambling habbit  because of the longer period of lockdowns and quarantine but i expect that some will still be playing again as soon as casinos were open too and will develop an addicting habbit again  .
3163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Age restriction in gambling on: March 26, 2020, 09:45:19 PM
I didn't expect that there's a country where kids with an age of 5 allowed to play gambling legally. Gambling at early age will just cause you a bad habit so I wonder why they allowed it.

But if their perspective towards gambling is just for fun or entertainment then it's fine, it'll just be in the category of games.

no one will get addicted if they educate their child well .

 it was like gadgets and computer games being introduced to children when they was still young but many kids are not getting adicted and still study welll  , that is because their parents are strict with them . they can do that discipline on gambling  too  .

many gambling were designed for all ages and most of those are for entertainment so its okay for the kids  to get expose with it  and mostly those can be found on a real life amusement center/park  .
3164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Physically vs Gambling Online Using Crypto on: March 26, 2020, 01:46:58 PM
I see that online gambling can gain followers because for now, gambling or casinos cannot be visited due to the pandemic. There are several advantages to playing online as you mentioned and cryptocurrencies will give more interest today.
Well, the revenue of the online gambling sites right now goes higher than the usual months because many gamblers have switched temporarily from going to casino to just gamble online because of either the lockdown or the closure of the casinos.

For me, online gambling is better for me in terms of hassle but there are some things that you can achieve in playing in a casino that you can't get in just gambling online. One is that you can talk with other people personally and that can help the gamblers in some ways. Another is the ambiance of the environment. We know that the environment in a casino is very beautiful.

what about those who have sports betting websites ? its a form of gambling too but thier sales goes down because of the cancellation of many sports events  . also the cryptocurrencies prices were dump too much and that is another form of losses for a crypto gambling site  but sports bettor and offline bettors might switch to standard gambling site , so standard gambling site still earns good despite of the drop of the value of cryptos  . lastly there are chat features to talk to others and the design can sometimes be good too and the music these act as an ambiance for online version casinos 
3165  Economy / Economics / Re: Can cryptocurrencies play the role of real money as medium of exchange? on: March 26, 2020, 12:37:05 PM
cryptocurrencies are real money but they are only exist digital however there are people create physical versions of cryptos   .

cryptos are volatile and being volatile is one of the factors for people to not use it  because the value of thier money can decrease but not all cryptos are volatile   . there are stable coins too and less volatile coin which can be verry good to use as oppose to the real money   .  to the poll , i answered  " i use cryptos to buy goods most of the time "  its virtual good specifically prepaid recharge for mobile/internet  and im verry satisfied   .

Keep safe and stay with your family you'll be able to survive if you have enough funds, be wise in this crisis period we
do need more reserve money than using it for any leisure activities.

I'm sure everyone is aware of that, let us not gamble like we usually do when there was no pandemic yet as we might need that funds if the pandemic will stay longer. Gambling does not guarantee a win and although we say that we are gambling for fun but we still need to be careful as one mistake might destroy our finances and we might struggle to survive in this crisis.

exactly . single simple mistake is deadly  . i remember before i was verry careful and said to myself to not going to be addicted but one time a mistake happen that i accedentaly tap the all in button and loose , i was so sad and leads me to be greedy to depo again and recover that losses and that is the start of my gambling addiction  . luckily those times were gone and im now gambling carefully again   . its true that we must gamble moderately with or without crisis like this because on gambling money is not guaranteed   .
3167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk has been blocked in Russia because of Gambling advertisement on: March 26, 2020, 10:20:40 AM
lol this is funny because they banned the whole forum instead of the gambling site  . the forum has nothing to do with it if i were to ask  . now this affects forum users from russia  .  by the way is op from russia   ? or he is only concern because if he is from that country i wonder why he can still access this site  but its possible to access block website if we are going to use vpn and other bypassing tools   . as some sites here on my place are also blocked but they didnt know that i can still access it  . still its a big loss for those who are inocent users that dont know who to do this idea
3168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty alone is not enough on: March 26, 2020, 06:43:27 AM
bounty is compose of different marketing activities or so called promotions  . how do you think a good project can become good without gaining investors because they arent doing bounty/promotion  ?

 this is a crypto forum and many people interested on crypto visit on here , not just bounty hunters alone plus bounty hunters sometimes invest too , they put real money for investing aside from working on a bounty   . bounty for me is enough because it was like a total package for a project that is starting   .
3169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ways in which you can promote bitcoin. on: March 26, 2020, 05:57:49 AM
There are many ways to promote bitcoin. You can watch this video (https://youtu.be/qzwf1AQxqM0) of mine to learn more on several ways in which you can contribute to the promotion of bitcoin. I hope the video is helpful because making it was like building Rome (Rome was not built in a day).😁😁
 I'll be very grateful if you can list more ways so we all can have something we can do to support the growth of bitcoin. Thanks a lot for promoting bitcoin. Yea, that reminds me; you can make bitcoin arts too and publicise them.
I think the best way to promote the bitcoin is to just continue to use bitcoin, when you are supporting bitcoin and use it online or in a physical store you are already promoting and helping the bitcoin community.

Surely bitcoin is already popular in the world but still, there are a lot of countries or place that bitcoin was till not yet implemented I think if you are going to use bitcoin if it is available as a payment I think it would already help the bitcoin, It would be useless as an option if no one is supporting bitcoin or payment in bitcoin.



but how can you use bitcoin if its not suported on your place or on your country  ? you can only use bitcoin online or as long as its not banned . you are still right tho   .

when you use bitcoin the people that dont use bitcoin are going to be curious if they sees you and they might have ask you to teach them the basics  but promoting it is also better than using it alone because when you promote people that arent interested can possibly became interested if your good at promoting it  .
3170  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin ready for world wide 1 currency? on: March 26, 2020, 05:27:52 AM
I ask this because of the corona virus where people are too scared to hold money.

The issue is that we value btc against the usd and other fiat currencies. If fiat currencies were no longer how would bitcoin be valued...inflation etc? Can't get my head around how it would work.


Time will tell that BITCOIN is a self stand currency which holds value and can be used in different markets buying staff although we have a way to go until it accepted worldwide no need to rush

agreed.  why rush when the acceptance of btc is still continues to happen   ?

in no time , btc are now going to be worlds first digital currency and the acceptance is rather sped up now  , now that people are now avoiding close contact with fiats and other physical form of paying   .

 time will tell indeed , and this time has come that people realized the worth of digital currencues such as btc  . they could have ask thier self that why they reject btc before when btc is infact pretty useful  .
3171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos that allow bch and ltc and eth investments? on: March 26, 2020, 04:45:16 AM
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2097255.0 a cryptocurrency gambling casino list that has an "investment option".

To OP, based on the shared link, take this as a reference:

On-going:
Bitdice
Bitvest
I don't think you can invest on Bitdice anymore after they made the switch to their own token and there's no exchanges that have their token listed.

The only option OP have is Bitvest unless he's willing to trade his altcoins for bitcoin to get more alternatives and profit.

Also I think the reason why OP doesn't want to give up his altcoins is because he's waiting for the price to go up just like how few of the altcoins surge up in the last month or so.


yeah i remember bitdice are accepting investments before but thanks for the info , i wasnt updated on them anymore  and i didnt knew that you cannot now invest on them anymore but there are still other sites that we can use as alternative and one of it was bitvest  .

 bitvest is one of the oldest and most trusted too , i heard they accept many major alts  which suites for the op's needs since he ask for ltc and bch investments    .this is a good way to invest nowadays knowing that market is still low  .
3172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not be fooled on: March 25, 2020, 05:15:01 PM
 actually there are experts that sometimes says negative words on cryptos but im not gonna get affected with what they say same as when some random people claims negative things pertaining to crypto  . as a crypto enthusiast i know if what is happening now  so no reasons for me to be fooled  .

 its not about being fooled or whatsoever but i see many people are taking a break for a while on crypto to help thier comunity to fight the virus   .
3173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers don't trap victims with too good offers anymore on: March 25, 2020, 04:06:02 PM
i guess the time has come that scammers are now getting wise because people are now getting wise too  because on the time that we have now , people now mainly relly online  .

rely or spending most of the time online means they can get infos of what is bad or good  ,

 also they can often see investment business  in which they can easily dtermined if it was fake or legit  but not really anymore now that scammers have a new plans    .  
3174  Economy / Speculation / Re: How will the Halving affect the BTC price? on: March 25, 2020, 03:38:06 PM
Well if we are going to trace back btc halving history, it clearly we see an increased in btc price and in mining block rewards but we can't say that history always repeats itself all the time.
Specially with this kind of market now?absolutely there will be no repeat happening this next quarter or until the last till december.
There are no cure for the sickness or for the virus so the dumping will continue until the cure finds.
But Halving will give us profit but when the time the Bull starts right after the crisis ends and the effect of halving will take place.

we are still on the first quarter of the year and it will take a long time for us to reach december and with this time span i think the virus will not exist anymore  .

 there are now cures that i see online and on youtube but some of those sources are not yet verified  however if we look at china , how can people on those country got cured if no medicines for corona invented  ?

  halving will not be postponed because of this virus and i still believe that halving can boost the price  of the cryptos   .
3175  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is better than Holding on: March 25, 2020, 02:29:57 PM
This depends in our objective in entering this market.
Like me i am here because of my faith and believe in Crypto so i invested to keep longer since i am a busy person and have no much time to spend in front of computer to monitor the trading platform so i choose to hold right?because most of my time is for my work and family business so a little time is allotted in forum.but if you have plenty of time and wanted trading to be your bread and butter then choose trading.

well sade mate  . thats good because you know if what suits for you while i notice that most people are still confused if what path they are going to choose  .

they end up trying this and feel unhappy then trying another one and so on but if you will only pause first and think properly you will know if what will be better for you not just for the short term purposes but also most importantly for long term  because we are talking about jobs or busines  .
3176  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why is everyone expecting continuous growth? on: March 25, 2020, 01:25:39 PM
It's typical of humans. We're always expecting everything to be perfect and well at all times.
its true but not all  . there are people that know how crypto works . like me i dont expect for a price increase at all times but when the times that crypto is really dump as in hard  , i cant still help it but hoping for a recovery or an increase   .

Quote
Even though we know it's not possible, we still want it to be that way.
its possible for a continous growth but not that continous forever  .  i mean for example when the btc grow from 10k to 18k usd before    . we people see a continous growth  then it stops at 18k usd  .

Quote
When the market is down, we want it to go up. If the market is up, we want it to go higher.  The market doesn't work that way
you forgot that people also pray for the value to go down because they think they can buy and hodl more and expect another pump in the future .
3177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things you shouldn't do when gambling at casino this time... on: March 25, 2020, 12:46:45 PM
This instructions/advice are just common sense. Why would you risk playing casino when there is a pandemic and I think almost all casinos and other establishments that gather huge amount of people are closed right now. We could all be safe in our houses, why not try online casinos or if it is not your thing then go save that money or funds for future use or urgent use. Stay safe guys.

I'm 100% sure none of casinos where the location is infected by Corona Virus is still operating, authorities know that contact among gamblers cannot be restricted, gambling casinos are the first to close when the virus hit the location they are on the category of concerts, festivals and meetings.
It is a big risk to open such casinos as the corona is contagious and it is a pandemic. Governments have to take every possible action in order to stay safe from this virus. We all shall simply avoid going to places where the gathering is expected in order to reduce the chances of getting infected by this virus.

we dont need to avoid them because crowded places like casinos are now being shutdown except from those establishments that are verry important of course like market  .

 casinos arent really that important but its only a past time for people but i heard classes are canceled too ? schooling is important too i forgot but the good part is that we can do them online  . we can gamble or learn online    .  if someone is isnt following the protocol , they have to be punished imediately because this covid thing is not a joke  .
3178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: (Yes or NO) The 2020s belong to DEXs on: March 25, 2020, 12:03:25 PM
Decentralized exchanges surely have a good use case to present to the crypto community but one thing that i have realized among them is the slow performance on most of them. Investors and traders would still prefer to use Centralized exchanges if they can trade without any hitches on some of these decentralized exchanges. Ethershift is one of the upcoming exchanges which i think has a great future in the coming years.

ethershift ? that sounds good and is this related to eth  ? so means its a decentralized type of exchange   . there are many good decentralized exchanges that constantly appearing  and becoming succesful too  but centralized exchanges are more powerful and being prefered by many people  . and what do you mean by slow ?  laggy  ?  or you mean slow on trade transaction  .   i never experienced any delays before upon using a decentralized exchange but i admit that etherdelta is verry laggy , thats why i use forkdelta as an alternative as its lighter and faster  .
3179  Economy / Economics / Re: Digital Diplomas With Blockchain on: March 25, 2020, 11:35:46 AM

This is really sad, not just because they will not be able to get their diplomas physically but because they will not be enjoying the graduation that you could only experience in a while. I just hope that this will be only applicable while this pandemic is around and I hope this ends immediately.

If it is worth preventing more people from being affected, so why not.
Some people have cancelled their entertainment shows Worth's millions  because they want to avoid endangering people's lives. They say prevention is better than cure.

they cant really do it if they wanted to but they can only reschedule the graduation when the time that the virus is now gone  .

in that way , they can be able to experience the traditional graduation that they wanted to or deserve too but if they cant wait for that time then blockchain can be helpful . not only helpful for them to graduate alternatively but also helpful for the adoption to grow more  and for the cryptos to become more well known  and since they already came up with this idea, why not adding blockchain courses too   ?  
3180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The door is never closed to new traders on: March 25, 2020, 10:49:33 AM
The door is always open, new traders are always welcome, they will help to increase the trading volume in the market, when the market has a lot of traders, it will be very attractive and eventually this will lead us to a adoption that we are hoping.

I believe that crypto will become mainstream in the future, but we can't do that abruptly, slowly as long as the adoption is happening, we will achieve that goal. Traders will love crypto if they have the skills because crypto is quite volatile that would give them a lot of opportunity to trade.

not only open for new traders but also for the old traders too  that quits that takes a rest for quite some time and then they decided to comeback  .

i knew one trader that is like this and he ask me if trading is still okay and i said yes trading doors are still open  and the state of cryptos are still up and down  . crypto right now is already consider as mainstream because if you look at the adoption many people are now involved on it and many platforms or ads are now related to crypto     .
