3181  Other / Archival / Re: Do you use bitcoin as currency or investment? on: August 15, 2016, 02:20:20 PM
I use it is just as a currency. Making bitcoin with commenting and a little bit of gambling and cash it out and spend on my daily needs. Nothing smart. I would like to use it as investment, but unfortunately I don't have free money at all.
I think you can still invest in bitcoin even if you do not have enough money. you can still earn bitcoin by various means and methods
then after you have many bitcoin you can begin investing in various sites or try to hold course if you wont to take risk

Right. to go to find bitcoin easily and the result is good is to use a signature campaign. The results of the signature campaign could be used for investment and trade so they can earn more profits. Bitcoin is more appropriate if used for investment because we can take advantage of price fluctuations so that we can make a profit if you invest.

And the fact is we don't have more options to use it as a currency at a moment so most of the people are using it as an investment for the future to earn better profits in future.
Yes I use bitcoin for investment. Because bitcoin fluctuating and if we can take advantage of us would gain so it is more suitable when used investment.
yeah besides having fluctuations that can give you a big advantage. bitcoin investments also include investments that have potential for big profits in the future. many people predict that prices will rise in the future. Akua hope it could happen

Speculation can be either right or wrong as we cannot totally depend on it as we know that its impossible to predict the future but lets hope that we see higher price in coming months.

Price is going down and its not at all an good sign for an investors who have invested their money into it, as everyone was expecting price above $650 at this stage but unfortunately its going the other way.

A blindfold would help a lot for now. We cant spend it we cant move it or exchange to fiat. Just be blind and be patient is all we can do.

Have patience and wait for next few days, price will start to rise as this is not the right time to sell as price is really low at a moment so it will be an unprofitable decision to make.

i agree that it isn't the right time to sell, but what makes you think the price will go up in the coming days? i can't see anything that indicates a price movement to the higher side.

Everyone is speculating around that price will go higher in coming days but no one is sure what exactly will happen, its just an speculation nothing else.



That is definitely right. We are just all speculating. By speculating with the price of bitcoins, we are basing on current needs and uses of the btc to public and how investors are reacting to it. For me, as long as I enjoy the benifits of bitcoins in all of my transactions, I will hold to it as my sign of BIG suport for it to soar higher in the coming days or months.
3182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 15, 2016, 02:17:57 PM
i dont believe with safe methods at gambling
it is pure of lucky, with the best methods if that time we lose, we will lose
gambling is risky activity

I agree there is no safe way in gambling unless you are going to play safe with your own money what I mean is that you are going to play for only small amount so that you are going to control the amount of money you are going to gamble. And if ever you are going to win then that's the right time for quitting for the day.

Definitely, gambling has no safe methods, because it is a game and pure game of money. Only two things will be happened , one you will win and secondly you will lose, and nothing more. So if we never want to greedy than better is that avoid it otherwise play gambling for limited amount that if you lose so you will not be sad.

We can actually mitigate the chances of losing big and give our self more chances to get lucky by having many sessions - this is what the professional gamblers does, they create many sessions so that if they lose on first session, they still have more sessions to get to their profit goal. It is way too different to people that just bet randomly because the gambler with no sessions and pre-planned bets, they can lose all of their bankroll in just few bets or even in just 1 bet.
3183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: August 15, 2016, 02:11:43 PM
Nice idea, if you can spend little money on bets. The way people get poor is at the moment, when they start to invest the money, they didn't plan to spend.

Well it is very risky if you are going to treat bitcoin gambling as a source of profit.  And you are already an addicted gambler if you are going think that gambling is a source of profit. It is just created for the purpose of the people to have good entertainment to remove the stress they have.

If done right, gambling can be a stress reliever. But most of the time, it is a source of stress to people that are getting hooked to it while doing random bets.

If you just want to play for fun, you must only use money that you can afford to lose, period. That thing when you lose money, you don't mind chasing it back because those were intended to give you fun whether it will all lose or profit a little.
3184  Other / Off-topic / Re: If i give you 10 BTC what will you do? on: August 14, 2016, 01:51:06 AM
if you give me 10btc i will invest it all at real life
i will buy golds or soil and i will wait for some years and i will sell it with high price
bitcoin have better potential than gold why don't you simply those 10BTC for some years and sell them for higher price after some years.
if you are planing to buy something to hold for future then bitcoin is the perfect choice, and if you want to do business then you should do real life business because other investment in bitcoin are full of scams.

Exactly bitcoin has lot more potential to give higher profits in compare to gold, and that is the reason I am investing my money in bitcoin and will hold and will sell when price goes higher.

Definitely. One good example is we can use bitcoin to deposit and bet in online gambling casino very easily - we cant do that with gold. We can transact quite number of transactions with bitcoins and not with gold. The best part is we can also invest bitcoins just like with gold.

Overall, bitcoins is more valuable than gold in how I see those benifits
3185  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin dropped to $1, what you do? on: August 14, 2016, 01:48:28 AM
I don't think that bitcoin will ever reach to that price, price will keep on going higher in coming years so I think we should not waste our time in something that's never gonna happen.

I think all possibilities can happen friend if there are elements behind it. Because although this possibility just 0.0001% but it could happen. But if logically think my bitcoin prices will not suddenly drop to $ 1, and there must be a process that we can observe. thanks IMO
As you said bitcoin cant auddenly drop to 1$ , but in time if the price will go down slowly it can reach that price, but in following year it will not gonna happend
Definitely it is not going to happen. For long it had survived and now the price per bitcoin is nearly $600. So if it drops it can be up to $400, if so I will buy coins as much as possible.

I think even we will not see the price of $400 in future, bitcoin will never see that price in future as even if it drops then it won't go below $500 in future.

I also think the same as you, most likely in the next year or future prices will not fall below $500, although it is still possible, and it could happen because some hacker exchanger issues. except if the price has gone above $1000, I think prices will solid with any negative news, and at least will not fall below $500

Yeah price will not go below that level unless there is too bad news related to bitcoins, but we should not worry at a moment as price is rising and it will be a lot higher when we reach to the end of the year.

No matter the price would be of bitcoins. My focus is getting more bitcoins as much as I can - I don't do this in short-term but long term. Accumulating more coins now will surely reap a good harvest in decades from now.

I only cashout bitcoins when I needed something. The rest are held and others are used to get more bitcoins.
3186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 14, 2016, 01:26:21 AM
A lot of people wrecked their life gambling and I almost did the same or I have not done so yet but I have been near it several times. There is though very few lucky people on earth especially on Las Vegas who have won a jackpot worth million dollars and that sum is a sum that can fix your life. I am an avid slot player but lately have turn my attention to sports as I am winning by following persons who do predictions free and also with payment. I can tell you that by trying to get the jackpot in slots you risk very high to wreck your life.

That is right, slot games is a big NO for me. I am doing sports betting now and I am liking it. I tried to follow an online prediction and out of 3 games, 1 losses. I decided not to follow anyone from now and will just bet on teams that have higher chances of winning - even if it is low profit, I am still ok with it Smiley
3187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People hate Bitcoins? on: August 14, 2016, 01:15:12 AM
Well about your question, hating bitcoins has no space in my mind. and I know that all of the member here in this forum are not a bitcoin hater.
Maybe those people who are lack of knowledge about this matter. So for I like bitcoin so much. Cheesy

Existing users of bitcoin will never hate bitcoin, in fact they will love bitcoin as bitcoin is helping them in many ways and they can also earn descent amount of additional income from it.

Could not agree more. As long as a person got a hold of bitcoin and tried to do some transactions, he/she will fall in love with bitcoin every successful transaction he/she made Smiley The value a person can gets with bitcoin amazes the person holding it - the privacy and no hassle is what the main bitcoin feature can offer - of course among other cool features Smiley

One example is creating accounts with online casino that accepts bitcoin - they don't require you for your identification and the approval of account creation is instant compared to using fiat money where it takes time for approval because you need to send some identification requirements and the like...
3188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: August 14, 2016, 01:10:49 AM
The reason I gamble is just like most of the gamblers here do it... for gaining money in a very quickly as possible way without very much effort other than click a few buttons and placing your chips on the table.  Cheesy
It doesn't take much skill and it isn't rocket science to gamble or place a bet with your prediction on what the outcome will be for a match/game that you are wagering on.

If you know what you are doing then you will win most of the time. I have some little discovery that is testing right now. I just started sports betting and I bet only to teams that have very high chance of winning the game - although little profit, heck it is still a profit! The trick is, you bet high amount to the most probable winning team and you will profit quite good - CAUTION: this comes with a risk also. If the team you choose have some injured players during the game or have some problems, be weary.

Aside from choosing the most probable winning team, you must also do some research about each team player - check if there are players that can't play due to injury or some other reasons. Make it sure that the said team is on the right shape - if you sense something that is not right on the team based on your research, better not bet - in case of any very small doubt, don't bet - BECAUSE you are risking really big with a little profit.
3189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: August 14, 2016, 01:04:03 AM
I earn all my income from gambling, it is not a sickness but a cure for me!

If we are just serious in winning the casinos, we can by doing as the way the professional gambler made their betting strategy. Winner780 is right that gambling is not a sickness - but! if you only know what you are doing. Because if you just bet randomly, then you are not a professional gambler - you are just a plain gambler, period.

Plain gambler - loses more often
Professional gambler - wins often
3190  Economy / Economics / Re: When do you buy Bitcoin ? on: August 14, 2016, 01:00:16 AM
I buy it when I get an unexpected windfall. if I was gonna start getting serious i'd buy a set amount every week. there's no way i'd bother trying to time my buys. you'd end up wasting your life staring at charts.

some weeks you'll feel like a champ, others a chump but it feels like the best strategy for me. in the long run you should do just fine and you got there without going crazy and throwing massive amounts of time away on emotional trading. that's my take at least.

That is right. If you are for a long term investment with bitcoin, you just buy and buy in any given schedule you set. You don't mind the prices and just buy and buy. After a decade, you will then decide whether you sell it or buy more.
3191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you like slot games ? on: August 14, 2016, 12:58:14 AM
When playing slots keep in mind you are playing against some machines which are programmed to take your money away. There is that thing called house edge starting from 0.1% up to much more that ensures the house stays always in profit. Its the dumbest choice anyone can make trying to play slots, chances to win are 1:1000000 and this is a very optimistic number Smiley .

maybe you right, this game is very hard to win
I always lose when I playing in slot games and I never tried again this games
I think so, chances to win is very small.

The defeat is something reasonable in terms of gambling. You are indeed required to always look for loopholes in order to get the victory, the game slot requires a research before you play. You have to do research is the history of the game all players (if any) and look at how much time or on the situation what players get victory. Hope this helps a little for you, have fun

It is just so hard to win on slots game. It is even harder to check how many losses and wins of the previous player - that would be hard and it would be awkward to set beside a player and record his/her wins and losses.

Personally, I just don't recommend slots .
3192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: August 14, 2016, 12:55:47 AM
I think playing with small amounts , or playing just for fun, is the best method to play gambling in a smart way.
Playing for fun with small amount of bankroll is the best way(never chase your losses), i've been gambling this way and it's going really good. Cheesy
as time goes by you will increase your bet amount even you start it with small/low amount.
and gambling as a place to get your money doubled in fast way you have to take advantage on it.
by doing small bet you have wasted your opportunity and i think it is not a smart action at all.

You are very wrong, do a small bet is most best and most intelligently to avoid us against addiction. In our gambling will always be required to play as much as possible and do a big bet, if we don't anticipate it will ruin your life. But it also depends on your greed greed, if indeed you want to many high then it's your thing. But you also have to accept all the risks you should receive

To be successful in gambling, you need to have high bankroll, many sessions, and pre-planned bets. With small amount of bets, it is good for playing just for fun. However, if you want to win really big, you need high bankroll.
3193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 14, 2016, 12:53:22 AM
Yes gambling addiction can ruin anyone no matter how rich a person can be its a that kind of addiction that it can make a rich people poor.
i think its the greediness than results in destruction of people,because richer people wants to become more richer and if they loose they want to cover their losses.And this addiction ends up destroying the gamblers life.

Absolutely right. Gambling can destroy a persons life if left unchecked. So before your greed and gambling clean up your money and destroy your life, get out of it. It is hard to quit it when you are already addicted to it. So while early, quit it.
And never come back to gambling world , also if you joining in this forum don't try to visit again gambling section it's just makes you want to back to gambling world again and also the promotion held in this forum. Better to do your free time for gambling to a good activity like learning something , hangout with friends or earning with different method not with gambling exactly.

I've watched in youtube last night about the chef who have £100,000 debt due to gambling. He had a promising career he left behind and just messed his whole life due to gambling. When interviewed and asked what was his biggest winning, he even cannot recall it. But now he is willing to change his life and slowly pay his debt and pursue his career back. He decided to stop betting.

He was even had an agreement to his mom to bet his last gamble and even lost it for the last time Smiley

Lesson of it is that, we don't get hooked with gambling - we should only play it for fun.

However, if we want to get serious with it, try to do research first on how to do proper bankroll management, creating sessions, and creating pre-planned bets.
3194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: August 13, 2016, 04:03:54 AM
Gambling can be an illness ifi causes the destruction to one and other around or financial difficulty as well. This is why there experts to help ga!blera with the addictions they have and suffer from.
gambling is a disease, so many negative impacts. especially if we play under addicted and can not control themselves.
if you want to gamble, at least you were able to control themselves, so it does not become something bad.
How you know that gambling is decease? gambling is a kind of game that giving entertainment to people not for giving a disease.
Maybe you are saying that addiction can be a sickness because its number one that you can get in gambling that can hit your life miserable.
whether the results show many people are entertained? or many people become rich because of gambling? of course not, they mostly become damaged because of gambling. and yes, addiction is a disease, it can make a person's life is destroyed, not only that, but so many other harm.

The real thing  here is about gambling addiction not in gambling game itself but  they are all just the same. Gambling addiction would definitely wreck your  life in the end because  there no such being rich in doing gambling, some may say its for entertainment  but the result is still the same which youll end nothing.

For me, there are three types of gambler: 1. ordinary gambler that bets randomly (usually always a loser) 2. professional gambler (they lose some and they win some), and 3. Gambling just for fun.

The first type of a gambler usually gets busted right away when they bet, but professional gamblers stand for longer sessions. The one that is prone to messing with life is the first type of gambler, the one that profits big or small are professional gamblers, and the one that is very happy is the gambler that plays for fun only Smiley
3195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: August 13, 2016, 03:59:18 AM
That is right. If we couple it (only gamble what we can afford to lose) with some strategies and sessions, then we are good to go with gambling. Otherwise, if we just gamble randomly and use all of our hard earned money, then we are destroying our lives in in just few seconds after betting and losing it all.
Yup, we cannot rely on gambling if we need to earn money, we are just wasting our time to bet and just lose it all after all. If you really want to earn just work hard and be patient and wait that you can actually save money and make it bigger. Gambling is a waste of time if we see gambling as a source of income.

Right.. Gambling depends on luck and if you don't have it, then you are definitely a loser. However, if you have more sessions, then you can have that number of chances to get lucky. There are actually professional gamblers that depend their source of living with gambling and they are really exceptional - they don't let emotions comes in when they bet, they only follow the system that they have.
3196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 13, 2016, 03:56:05 AM

Not all the time, there are gamblers that are not after those excitement and thrilling life ,  sometimes they are after the profit...


Yup! I would agree with these, not all gambler mind set are the same and not all have the same goal when they are betting gambling, all of them have a different kind of way of thinking that is why some of them ending up addicted with gambling and some that can control the urge in getting addicted will still be the same that is why you can never say that all of them are like these and like that!

And I would like to add also that gambling is only for people with great control in gambling and who are matured enough to determine what is the right thing to do in gambling, one should not be easily tempted to follow his emotions and will resort to wrong decision making like chasing bets until he lose.
True, gambling always needs self-discipline/self-control, if you don't have this, for sure you will just wasting your time in gambling and you will just lose your money. If we see gambling as if we can earn money, better stop immediately because that is not good. But if we see gambling as just an entertainment and not to make profit then I think it is fine for you to play.

Agree with this. If we want a happy life, we should only spend bankroll that we can afford to lose. However, if you want to be serious and professional gambler, then better to do extensive homework first before even to do your first bet.
3197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: August 13, 2016, 03:53:49 AM
greed and hope are the reason for distruction in case of gambling. first we hope that we can win then we do win it then we gets greedy an wins more then we loose.then again we hope we can recover our losse and we became greedy again and we losse all

you can't say this generally about everyone who is gambling. i agree that there are some who are playing like what you said but that is not everybody and not even the majority.

many are only gambling for the fun of the games and only because they enjoy the game and also taking risks with their money.

also there are many who are professional gamblers like those poker players you see in Las Vegas Poker Tournaments that are making million dollar bets and earn a lot of money from gambling.

That is right. Each of gambler has its own reasons why he is coming back. This what the question of the OP and I guess we shall not answer it as if it applies to all. It should be answered as to individual reasons of coming back.
That's every body has their own reason why they keeps from coming back in gambling, for me, sometimes I go back and just trying my luck, but I am not expecting that I can really win that game, we never know, maybe I can win this time. Smiley
In my case, I go back because I really love to gamble, I like sports betting a lot and that is the only way that would make me happy in gambling. It is my time to relax and watch the game while I am betting online, if I won then I would just spend it because I don't want to save it as I am not really serious in gambling for money.

I love this reply Smiley This should be how we treat gambling - just for fun and relaxation.  That way, we are not getting hooked and chasing away our losses and end end up losing more.

If this is our kind of mindset that whether we win or not with our bets, we spend that winning because our life does not depends on that winning, then we are good to go with gambling! Smiley

By the way, I will now do my first betting one of the sports that I like and I will use the earnings in my signature campaign. I am so excited! Smiley
3198  Other / Archival / Re: Do you have paypal account even though you have bitcoin? on: August 13, 2016, 03:42:52 AM
why would someone bother himself to create a paypal account and verify it before use it while he can use bitcoin without even an email address. he does not need to share all these info about himself like address, credit card and ID.

If it needs to have paypal transactions, then that person should/must bother to create a new paypal account and pass those simple identification requirements. Otherwise, that certain transactions won't get through.
3199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: August 13, 2016, 03:40:40 AM


Very precise, but still do not get addicted you get. Because it certainly will guarantee your lives be miserable or become poor for life if you do gambling with greedy and end up getting addicted. Addiction will not provide a positive impact either however you condition, self control is the main thing that should be done so as not to get addiction or other bad things that

But if you are already addicted then I think there won't be a thing that you can do to stop your addiction, you can not practice self control because your mind is already preoccupy by addiction in gambling , the best way to get rid of addiction is a by getting a good psychiatrist and getting suggestion on what to do and what level are you now in your addiction on gambling if you will need to get rehabilitated or not.

The fact that a person knows that he is addicted to gambling already is a good sign for his/her recovery. The first step is acknowledging the current addiction situation then move forward. For me, the primary person that can help gambling addiction is that person himself/herself - no one does unless he/she make a firm and solid decision to stop the addiction.
3200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: August 13, 2016, 03:36:38 AM
It seems that experts say that Bitcoin 'Here to Stay,' But Banks Could Disappear.


"TheStreet: How do you think FinTech will impact the way banks operate?

Frank Schwab: Banks either react on, or they will disappear. Anyway, the consolidation of the banking industry accelerates as the behaviour of people changes. Some banks will benefit from [FinTech], some will be pushed to the back end, and some will disappear."
http://www.thestreet.com/story/13419089/1/bitcoin-here-to-stay-but-banks-could-disappear-says-fintech-expert.html

What's your read on that?


I dont think that will gonna happend very soon. Even in dozens of years banks will not dissapers.  Because banks are controled by gouverments and they are an important fact for the economy of every country

I agree with this. It would be hard to impossible to remove banks and replace it with bitcoins. With the current popularity oof bitcoins, the close to possibility is that banks will try to ingrate bitcoin services than going against it. But who knows? We are just making presumptions here Smiley
