3341  Economy / Economics / Re: Which one do you prefer?Increase your Bitcoin or ِDollar? on: August 09, 2018, 09:07:03 AM
In Trading, there are two categories of people, those who want to increase their bitcoin volume, and those who want to increase their dollar volume. Which one do you prefer?Why?

For me I prefer to increase my Bitcoin, why simply because it has more potential to grow you'll compare to Fiat.

For me, raising your Bitcoin also means you want to increase your Dollar or maybe the fiat you are using in your country. I can say that since the money you will be getting from holding or trading on Bitcoin is dollar or maybe the fiat.

You don't need to pick one on these options since you can do both. Even if you do one of these things the other will not be affected since it is connected. As long as you have fiat, you can invest on BTC, if you have BTC you can just sell it for Fiat.
3342  Economy / Economics / Re: Government regulation on cryptocurrency, GOOD or BAD? on: August 08, 2018, 10:41:58 AM

The government clearly wants to provide the best for regulation on cryptocurrency, because the government does not want many to be harmed if it gives wrong regulation for me the government is right.


That is right. The government want to regulate Bitcoin and other crypto currencies in order to protect their citizens from it's dangers like scams and frauds.

They also wants to avoid their citizens to use Bitcoin in the wrong way like money laundering and transacting to terrorists and criminals. There are some government that do not want it but it just depends on their perception of what is crypto currency.
3343  Economy / Economics / Re: Why spend time in bitcoins? on: August 08, 2018, 07:41:29 AM
in my opinion, to be able to focus on bitcoin then we must be able to use and manage time well so that we will get what we want and not waste time with useless, so if the results we get are worth it then it doesn't matter if I spend time on bitcoin

Bitcoin is not something you must focus on since there is a lot of crypto currencies on the market and there are a lot of great investments that needs to be focused on rather than only on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's price changes very quick the reason we don't really need to focus on it. There are a lot of people that talks about it since they are being very focused on Bitcoin, as we all know it is very volatile.
3344  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a Digital Gold?? on: August 08, 2018, 03:27:47 AM
We consider bitcoin as gold, though gold has existed since ancient times and the golden values that bring us can not be told, and today with the digital technology bitcoin was born. And bitcoin is also considered by investors as digital gold

As long as people can earn money or profit from these digital currencies, they will be investing on it their money and their time. They are investors, they will invest on a profitable, that is like breathing for them.

Bitcoin treated as a Digital gold is also natural since Bitcoin is being compared to Bitcoin as the most popular and most expensive crypto investment. But I don't really treat it like Gold since Bitcoin is Bitcoin.
3345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin become centralized sometime in the future? on: August 07, 2018, 11:06:26 AM
I find that most bitcoin diggers are in China. If no measures are taken to intervene, the possibility of bitcoin will be controlled by China

China banned Bitcoin for a long time now and I don't think that will happen since BTC is banned there. There might be a lot of miners on China, but if they will not get anything from it in their country, I guess they can just sell it to usd.

Also, the supply of Bitcoin is closing to deplete that means there are a lot of Bitcoins in the circulation now than what to still mine.
3346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some of the best movies based on gambling? on: August 07, 2018, 10:39:01 AM
So in reality its very difficult to do.

It is a movie so I don't think that people should be trying that in the real gambling. Also, these students are said to be "geniuses" so I think that says it all.

I don't even know how can they memorize the card being given by the dealer. They are not just having fun in gambling but also applying things that can't be done easily especially as far as I know that is illegal.
3347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction? on: August 07, 2018, 09:58:30 AM
I don't distract my life from just gambling because I have a good life and I really enjoy what I have right now. I also have a free time in my daily life so I think it will not be a problem if I am playing gambling because I want to enjoy my time to play gambling like others. besides that, I am not a gambler which spends almost all my time just playing gambling because I know that my life will ruin if I only playing gambling.

I guess what you are trying to say here is that you are not the type of people that really waste their time and money on gambling since you know it will ruin it. You don't need to say that "your will be ruined if you play gambling" since you are already gambling as you have said.

I am confused on what you are saying really since you are saying that you are enjoying a good life and you are also saying that you want to enjoy gambling like others too, What are you pointing here?
3348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: thinking quiting after lose on gambling. on: August 07, 2018, 09:21:03 AM
If you gamble with the intention to only win money , you probably will lose money. Your mind need to be set that gambling is an entertaining activity with the possibility to win money in the end.

You need to gamble with only money you can afford to lose, try not to play luck games or play them if you want let's say some thrill of the moment and you should not care in the end if lost money or won money as you got the entertainment at least for the money you paid.
Exactly. Treat the money you lose as the payment for the entartainment you had and you will be OK even if you lose, and it will be only a pleasant surprise when you win (like having a free joy ride).

How will that be ok? I don't think that it will be that fine that you are losing a lot of money. I am gambling for entertainment but I don't want to use my own money in fact I am just playing online games like Poker and 21 that you can download freely on the app store.

Gambling to entertain yourself is not that bad but if you just treat your money that you earned by working, and that position at your work was a fruit of your effort on school for 16 years for ENTERTAINMENT, that is the worst.
3349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: August 05, 2018, 01:20:36 PM
I can not imagine if gambling is not introduced, maybe there is no fun and togetherness because I think gambling is a social activity that must involve money in the game. where the winner can earn money or reward valuable.

Why can't you? I mean that I think will be best since the competitions, the games the sports are not treated as a source of money by a lot of gamblers but a game or competition to see who is the best of the world.

Not only that but there will be no addictions prior to gambling. There will be no gambling addicts hoping that they could take or win easily just by risking their money and just depends or rely on luck.
3350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't worry, Bitcoin will be fine. on: August 05, 2018, 05:43:58 AM
I believe everything is going to be just fine. I am a long time in Bitcoin now, and I am waiting for a bigger price than 19 000 dollars. The first thing that needs to be done is time to market to recover. Nex two years will be better for bitcoin for sure.

A lot of people are thinking that Bitcoin will be having a pump quickly within months but what they really need to wait is years. They are quickly being disappointed on the quick changes of the price at some couple of months.

But if we will be comparing the price of Bitcoin yearly, the price of Bitcoin greatly increase this year than last year's. I don't know if that will happen this year since as I can remember last year, may or june is the month that the price continue to rise.
3351  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is crashing due to the falling price? on: August 05, 2018, 01:50:38 AM
Bitcoin isn't crashing,  not now,  never going to happen

It is falling but not that really big fall since the most common price this year is at $6000, the price continues to increase more than $8000 and just got back to it's common price at $6000 and little by little it is increasing.

The price of Bitcoin will fall but it is the normal movement of the price since Bitcoin as we know it is very volatile. We always know the drill, keep on holding it since the price tends to pump in the last quarter of the year.
3352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Walk of Shame on: August 04, 2018, 10:30:04 AM
This is true that if somebody gives a break at this time it will be right because you will not get very much addicted else it will be very much a trouble rather than a boon of making money from gambling. Infact you should go for entertainment and not to make money from this.

Who can blame them? You can bet or risk  your money on luck that don't really requires anything but money and you can enjoy yourself winning and earning money easily, who would not be serious with this, right?

I do gamble for fun, but I do know that I can earn money from what I am doing but don't really rely or hope on it since I know that it will not do anything good to me. I'd rather risk my money on investment and trading than putting it on gambling.
3353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is best practice for gambling?? on: August 04, 2018, 08:57:01 AM
if you are playing a game like texas hold em my advice would be find a website offering free roles every hour and practice those and once you start getting top 10 every game its time to start playing with the big boys on the high limits tables. the only problem with online is all the bots!!!!

Can you refer me to those sites that offering texas hold em free rolls every hour? I'm not a good player in poker, but I want to try my luck, I don't need to deposit because it's free. I had joined some free rolls before but I forgot what site is it, I think it is already down by now

You may check cryptopokerclub, as per their official thread they are offering freeroll every 2 hours. You can use it to learn and gain experience in playing poker. There are also many android apps that gives you a good chance to learn how to play poker but of course there is no chance to earn money like what you may get in poker freerolls.
It is a good idea. Also, watching tournaments may be a good practice for Poker.

Every time you do something and you want to improve in it, you really need to learn from the professionals.  I am watching  some poker games, most of them are taunting but yes, great plays.

But I think watching them makes you do that same play in the game and I think that might get you hooked in gambling that, I think may lead to addiction. I know someone that get addicted in that way but not really on gambling.
3354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: August 04, 2018, 07:56:37 AM
It completely depends on them because some people won't gamble after losing money but people who are addictive to gamble will not leave the gambling even after losing a huge amount of the money. Everything depends on their nature because when it comes to me i used to gamble when i have free time and will not spend more on it.
People who cannot control their gambling habits should try other stuff to do and find another hobby so that you could channel it to another thing and peevent addiction. Gambling is very addicting and people should have control especially with things that concerns money.

I can ensure you, being addicted to something and finding a way to forget it will take a toll on you. Yes, the time that you are starting trying to forget gambling is hard, and while time is continuing to cycle, you are forgetting it but when the time that you remembered it again, the flame within you will be soar and start another problem for you.

If you want to stop gambling, face it. Don't make another ways to forget it, since if you avoid it, you will just end up in the same cycle. Addiction is like a crime, you might want to forget that you've done it and even if a lot of days ended, you are still a criminal and unless you accept that you will never get out of that.
3355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes enough is enough on: August 04, 2018, 03:43:54 AM
Yes, sports betting is also gambling but some people don't really know that. However,  gambling and trading have almost the same rules and fever cause they both require stay calm, less emotion and learning to keep greed, hope and fear under control.

Wow, I never thought someone would say that. That is obvious, sports gambling is a gambling. As long as you are risking you are risking something, that can be considered as a type of gambling.

Gambling and trading is not the same and it don't really have a rule as you've said. Most of the gamblers I know can't stay calm on a casino, winning is what they want, they will definitely be happy with it. Less emotions happen only on games like Poker but most of the gambling games? Not really. Greed? Most of the gamblers want to keep it but they can't, traders is not really greedy, they are doing it because it will be the way to generate a profit. Hope is not be considered in gambling since that will just keep on them to gamble their money and fear, I guess that also applies on traders but gamblers must not control their fear so they can just fear the loss and the effects that gambling can give them.
3356  Economy / Economics / Re: Is wallet security important to use? on: August 04, 2018, 03:20:18 AM
It's not mandatory if you lost your wallet or it will hack by others you didn't get it back literally because you did not careful to your things even you have security on it. it's your own security and you can do security with your own even you have high powered security on it if you don't have to be careful to your wallet it will be hack again and again.
yes wallet is very important to be used to avoid hackers and other dangers. but we also have to always make sure that our wallet is safe.

But the security of the wallet do not depends on the security of wallets but it depends on the responsibility of the owner or user. Even if the wallet he is using is one of the most secure wallets in the world, if he will not be taking care of it, that will still be useless.

Knowledge and being careful is what you needed, with a lot of hackers and scammers that is so skillful on what they do, if you don't have knowledge on how they do it, you will be stripped off of your BTCs and crypto currencies.
3357  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Talk Taxes on: August 04, 2018, 02:39:02 AM
Income tax has become a dilema especially in cryptocurrencies however speculating about how government will take how much percentage of tax due to how much coins we have or trade doesn't sounds really fair since decentralized and annonymity were included and theres no way to deduce it someone really owns it or even trade it at the first time. I don't live in US but if government really apply cryptocurrency taxes in anywhere then they have to make sure they can calculate and measure how much someone really worth first.

It will be hard for the government to track how much does one Bitcoin users have. I guess it might be applied on some exchange but if that certain user are a holder, the government will just let him pay a small fee that will be unfair.

Some users especially the whales usually transfer thousand of Bitcoin annually, changing from wallet to wallet, if tax will be applied, it will be only for exchange and not for transferring BTC wallet to wallet.
3358  Economy / Economics / Re: To be or not to be. What to invest in? on: August 02, 2018, 06:50:02 AM
If I have money of course I will invest in bitcoin because I think even bitcoin at risk will get more benefits than you invest in a place other than the crypto world.

That is like you are saying that people must depend on the volatility of Bitcoin so much that you need to put all of your money into it in the way you had said it.

Yes, Bitcoin is a high risk high return investment but it don't really happen all the time. There are a lot of investors that depended on it so much that they've lost and thought Bitcoin is just a fraud and controlled by the whales completely. You don't need to invest on Bitcoin even if you have the money, start to find more place to invest your money since that will also give you more ways to earn money and not only rely on one investment.
3359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: August 02, 2018, 04:38:26 AM
For me, I can set up limit for myself so I can quit whenever I want.

Setting up a limit and having a control to yourself is different. Most of the gambling addicts I know always told me that they have ways of controlling themselves and that is by setting up a limit but it don't happen since they are still addicts.

They are setting up a limit, yes but whenever they are in the verge of losing they are breaking the limit and using whatever they have on them, the worst sometimes they still borrow money in the same gambling place. Controlling your self is the most effective way of staying out of gambling. I do understand that it is hard but always remember that it is far more harder than to gamble everyday losing everything that is not even yours.
3360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does hard work in gambling count? on: August 02, 2018, 02:09:59 AM
Woww,now I know hard work also can pay you off in gambling as well but still the earning depends on luck itself,the person who is in the second place just made two referrals but made lot of money so more important in gambling is luck than anything else.

But if you will be really looking at it, he is not really working hard in gambling but having his way or working hard in that gambling site to earn money, I think there is a difference there.

Yes, he might be using that to gamble or just cashing that out but he is just earning money through referrals, a lot of people can do that even not in a gambling site, he's not really working hard on gambling to earn money. In my opinion the "working hard" type on gambling that we are talking about is maybe the perseverance we have in gambling that even though we lose a lot, we will still gamble and a lot of people know that is not right.
