if I have $ 10,000 then I will use 40% to buy bitcoin, 30% for ethereum, 10% for ADA, 10% for XRP and the last 10% for XLM. I still believe in bitcoin and ethereum these are the two main coins in cryptocurrency. and both have the largest trading volume. even though now the value is down, I'm sure a few more years will rise again.

Yeah, these main coins are down. You know i have invested $17010 on only bitcoin and now still wait to get profit. Actually it is long term investment we should wait for a roaring time, then we get reward otherwise, the small coins is better for day trading.
Ethereum will be rise when bitcoin price rise, hopefully we will see in 2019 bitcoin and ethereum in top price.   
3462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you buy National Lottery tickets with Bitcoin in your country? on: March 13, 2019, 03:42:53 AM
I am just curious to know if you can buy lottery tickets for your own national lottery in your country. I am not referring to all these scam gambling sites with supposed "Provably Fair" lottery systems.

I bought some lottery tickets online and I was only presented with the old traditional payment options and I figured it is time for us to approach these Lottery operators, to ask for a Bitcoin payment option.  Wink

If enough people ask for this, they just might consider giving us that option to pay with bitcoins.  Grin  What payment options do you have for online lottery in your country?

Well, i don't know enough about lottery system, especially in my country. Actually i have no interest on lottery and secondly i don't think it work properly, these type of things are wasting money, gambling is much better than lottery.
And online lottery system you could easy check on net and get information about it.

In the U.S. there are these machines in grocery stores called "Coinstar"...they were originally used for fiat coins but now they've modified them so you can buy Bitcoin from them. This is great for mass adoption!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZvXq--LwfA&feature=youtu.be

Yeah, It is really mass adoption, and it is a easy way to buy bitcoin, also it will popularity of bitcoin. Most of the people who have no awareness about bitcoin they will be know about bitcoin in this wise.
But unfortunately i have never seen in my country like this store. But i wish i see it and definitely this moment will be remember-able for me when i buy a bitcoin from a store.

Play for fun and this will solve a majority of the problems I presume . Another thing is that play the games which you are good at or bet at sporting events which increases you chances of winning as you would know the chances of which team winning is high and accordingly you can bet .
I believed chances of winning will depend on your mood or temper of mine, the more your eagerness will out there's a high chance that you may lose. And also having greediness will also turn you down, I must prefer to gamble when I am fresh of mind and nothings bother my mind. I think pure luck will come if I do that strategy.

When we want to apply strategy then it necessary our mind should fresh, otherwise in pressure and frustration wise, we can't apply our strategy in proper way. But one thing is also strange in gambling and that is Luck, if we have Luck then we don't need to use strategy, only time should be lucky.
3466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling - A Game of Luck or Strategy on: March 12, 2019, 10:55:51 AM
It will be depending on what gambling game are you referring,because in Games like Slot machines,roulette and Dice i dont think there is strategy that applicable to use so this is purely Luck that may bring you winnings

But in other games I assume that its a combination of Luck and Strategy because even how great you are in strategic aspect yet this is not enough to bring winnings as Luck is also need to favor you before taking the stakes in each games

Exactly, I also tell to everyone most of the games like Slot machines, Dice and Roulette, in these type of games we can't use strategy, even i ask to gamblers, how to use strategy in these games, mostly videos are here in YouTube, but still i don't think that strategy can work on them.
But in sports betting we could use strategy, if you have spend time in gambling. But We can't learn strategy in a day, when we have spend time on gambling then skills wise we make our own strategy. 
3467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My 2 cents on: March 12, 2019, 10:37:23 AM
This is just my two cents on bitcoin gambling.

I made quite a bit of money back in December when the bitcoin price was roaring. I quit my job since then and been obsessed with bitcoin investment.

Things didn't turned out as people hoped . Bitcoin price went downhill and i started to chase my loss. How ? Yeah, as stupid as this may sound.. Bitcoin Dice sites. I have lost over $50k in past years gambling in dice sites like Primedice, Bitsler & Yolodice. My personal life was devastated with sights of depression and bad relationship with my wife.

It was almost like i was somebody else when i click that auto roll. The adrenaline was like a drug that got me high. As much as i regret quitting my job and betting high on auto roll I learnt to forgive myself.

My advice to you guys is that betting minimum on 2X with 100% increase on loss will NEVER pay your bill.

I feel sad to read your story, it is really lesson-able for us and i also remember that period when bitcoin price was roaring, most of the members are discuss about left the day job and work with bitcoin for earning,, even most of the threads was in bitcoin discussion to work with bitcoin left job. But now bitcoin never reward us and i am also one of them who facing the loss, because i also invested on bitcoin too much but i couldn't earn profit from it. I have only one option to hold bitcoin and wait for a time. 
     
3468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Gambler's way on: March 12, 2019, 10:25:55 AM
since bitcoin was introduced to me few years ago i've got this thing in mind
is gambling really about luck or can you beat the house using maths and probability?

well as for my i always YOLO bet a lot and sometimes it's working fine but most of the time it's not
i tried also using lowbets with strategy , mostly on dice autobetting, it seems fine but kinda boring, seems okay but it will bust in a time
so do you think gambling is about luck or you can beat the house with strat?

For me, gambling is really about luck and i don't think that we could beat the house, even we have luck in gambling. Because house has no loss, only gamblers are faces the losses, and you are also gambler then definitely you feel it that sometime we win but most of the house win.
And about strategy wise yeah, strategy wise we could win betting in sports, but like dice and other games in these games only luck depending we win.     
3469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People who gamble are degenerates, change my mind. on: March 12, 2019, 04:06:58 AM
I know my statement may sound pretty hostile on this part of the board, though I'm not talking about the person who will buy a superbowl box or makes a friendly bet with someone over one big game. I think the degenerates are the people sitting around gambling on every game they can possibly gamble on.

I have friends like this, people that will gamble on Mexican Womens Tennis if they can win (or most likely lose) some money on the game. It's a crushing addicition that we've normalized in our culture to make it seem like it's just apart of life. It shouldn't be, and children at a young age should be stopped from gambling until they know the horrible outcomes that gambling can cause. I support every effort by regulators to stem out the bad actors in the gambling field in order to stop children from being hooked on this.

I'd like one of you to change my mind, or at least make me think different about gambling. Because as of right now, I have a pretty negative view on it.

No doubt, gambling is a addiction and when you enter on addictive way, then definitely gambling will be dangerous for you, So it is normal thinking if you think negative about gambling.
Basically gambling made it to give us entertainment and if you play it to get entertainment then very good, but when you change your mind and start to play to earn and want profit from gambling then it will be a dangerous thing to you. So play it for entertainment and don't go to recover the loss and earn money form it.  
3470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not just gamble with fiat? on: March 12, 2019, 03:59:26 AM
Fiat casinos are actually regulated and you won't get some shady off shore website witholding your funds because you didn't pass a background check.  It seems like none of these crypto services even offer anonymity and transactions are actually slower than fiat services.  Whats even the benefit of using crypto to gamblefor you guys?

Online gambling or crypto gambling is better than fiat gambling, because you could play hiddenly, it give us anonymity to users, then gamblers have no worried about their personal information, and in short, it is a new technology then why not we use it and get enjoyment, you could see most of the new generation like crypto gambling because new generation like online working.   
3471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: March 12, 2019, 03:49:13 AM
can this world stop in gambling?
someone who like to gamble hard to escape from the gambling trap. almost like a drug addict. Even after they went bankrupt still struggling to gamble by borrowing money for gambling. Actually what do they expect?
the starting of the gambling field will only non bias otherwise it will not came to an end till you are live so it could be a part of our life after we entered into Gambling it could not leave our self for doing anything without gambling.

I think if anyone want to escape from gambling, so it is not hard, Because Gambling is not coming, we go to play in casinos and online gambling,
So who will wrong?
Definitely we are wrong, and in the end, we simply say that gambling is bad, it destroy my life and my career, it is a weak thing of our-self.
We can't destroy our-self, if we take a right step in gambling or even any-field.
3472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understand addiction! on: March 11, 2019, 09:54:56 AM
Addiction means your mind want something in a regular basis to satisfy the dopamine needs.

Your brain has three status of living conscious,subconscious and unconscious.In the stage of conscious your mind knows what you are doing but on other stages you may not unaware of what is happening even if you are living in it.

So if you are having some habit to make you pleasure on short term like gambling,porn or dating and other lot of stuffs will become an addiction when you want that happiness everyday.But these things is not your long term pleasure it just only meant to be short term but your mind turning it into long term by making you keep doing it very often because your subconscious and unconscious make it as a habit already since you are doing it already.

If you want quit addiction from something then you may need to change your life style and concentrate on long term pleasure like building your career or doing workouts and getting success in your business like that.

It is right Addiction mean we want something in daily basis because we need it. But later on when our mind and our heart full of it, then we want relief from it. But if we talk about Money addiction then i don't think that any man will satisfied from it, because money is basic need of every human and i never see anyone is here who don't need or addiction of money. We become addicted in gambling because of Money, that's why we can't go back.  
3473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2019 discussion on: March 11, 2019, 09:44:06 AM


After Multan, it seems today will be the end of Lahore also. Islamabad score a massive 238 making it impossible for Lahore to chase this huge total.
Although the boundary is small in Karachi stadium, yet the pressure of 238 will enough for Islamabad to secure their position in top 4.
I am hoping to see a singled sided game in 2nd half.
84 runs, 4 wickets gone after 8.3 overs.

This is what happen when you are under pressure with tons of runs to chase. 238 runs is a lot to chase. Unfortunate Lahore. This season was not good for them.

Well as expected, Lahore was defeated comprehensively in this match and they had no chance to chase the all time high total of PSL. Still Lahore has one last chance if Karachi lose today against Quetta and Lahore win in their last match against Multan. However i think it is very unlikely to happen.

Lahore is playing its last pool match with Multan today. Does Lahore have any outside chance of qualifying for the last four if they beat Multan in this match comprehensively ? 

Also Karachi will play later today their last match with Peshawar today, Karachi however grabbed a lucky win yesterday as they were able to defend 5 runs in the last over.

When PSL started i wished for Lahore to win PSL final, but it is bad luck for Lahore team that they have potential to win it. Now i really dis-pointed about Lahore team, even i don't think so that today Lahore will win the match from Multan.
Today match is showing that Lahore is under pressure.

i want to know did you make profit in gambling or lost and i know 99% people lost their money in gambling Gambling is only for fun not a way to make money what you think Gamblers Wink Always Gamble what you afford to Lose Don't Give up LOL

As you highlight in your thread that you have lost over 10 bitcoins in gambling in 2018, then i think you better know about loses in gambling and what you get lesson from gambling?
I don't think you need to ask us that we make profit from gambling or not. Because i have spend 3 to 4 years in gambling but still my loss will be less than your loss 10 bitcoins, Amazing.    
3475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This forum has so many gambling addicts on: March 11, 2019, 06:41:19 AM
May be im one of addicted gambling here, but its not too serious. Almost everyday im in online casino, but if i have no free time its no problem. I call addicted because everyday im there (if i have free time for sure).
Addicted or not its depends how to see it from which side, and different with drug you'll do everything to get it if you addicted.

If you are seriously not too much addicted gambler, then well good. Actually we already discusses a lot in this forum about gambling addicts and i feel that it is our fault that we become addicted and in the end we simply say that gambling is bad he become me addicted, without thinking that may be we are bad that's why we lose our money. Well, Gambling is a game and addicted a habit.
3476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any valid reason to continue gambling? on: March 11, 2019, 06:07:23 AM
nothing, except just for having fun. if someone gambles for profit, they just fall in the same big circle.

Be careful, and you can get addicted after a long time playing gambling if you cannot handle your emotion. I've been there before, but fortunately, I don't lose too much money, and I realize that I must leave gambling before it's too late. I hope you can know that so you could still have fun while you are not spending too much money.

If you already have lost too much money than leaving gambling is no solution for your loss. Better you should play gambling with small amounts and try to recover your loses. Although it is hard to recover loss, but still you never know that luck favors you one day and yon win big which recovers all your previous loses.
Honestly, you bad in terms of giving people advise because almost all gamblers know that gambling to recover losses is never a good idea because the gambler wont be his self anymore because what he will be after is winning the game whereas there are some strategy he will ignore.

Exactly, it is really hard to recover our lose to play gambling, even i could say it is really impossible thing, but as a gambler we should not hopeless from gambling. Most of the time, gambling give us a lot of money and also entertainment. For me, i have only valid reason to continue the gambling and play it only enjoyment and money, not for recovering lose.
3477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: thinking quiting after lose on gambling. on: March 11, 2019, 06:00:41 AM
actually when you lose, you want to get out soon. but if I remember the nominal money that was lost, it always makes me want to go back to take it again. even though the truth is that the losers lost, and lost again.
It's the truth and we have the same mentality.

We used to say that we're not going to gamble anymore but after few minutes of thinking and waiting for your next move, you are already doing it.
But we need to stop it immediately when we get a feeling that we are already lost more money than what we planned for,if you lost money its okay though because we knows that chances of winning is less so some other day we could make it but not today.

We know, it is necessary to stop on the spot, but as a gambler it is hard to stop us when we faces these situation. Most of the gamblers feel frustration of lose and try hard to win, and in this situation we continuously lost our money. Well, in the end, it is right our thinking quite after lose on gambling.
3478  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the Bitcoin is still down? on: March 10, 2019, 04:26:12 PM
what is the another ways to lifted up the Value of bitcoins in the market?

Its good to see the growth now. Its really healthy now compared to earlier days. This indicates there would be a pump in near future. So its right time to buy as many coins as you can. Invest in multiple coins. This would help you earn more in future.

Many altcoins are very low these days and if we invest in them they could go 5x at least in the next bull run.


The increase or decrease of bitcoin is very large due to negative news, and also basically the demand from the market that has decreased makes prices drop. that is a natural thing when bitcoin experiences a negative issue

Bitcoin prices moves with news and fortunately there has been no bad news recently. Due to this we are seeing horizontal movements in bitcoin prices recently.
3479  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything is an investment-change my mind on: March 10, 2019, 01:15:32 PM
I constantly here people say " Only invest what you can afford to lose"  Well no matter where your wealth is it could crash.

-Invest in USD- USA could collapse and experience mass inflation making your dollars nearly worthless
-Invest in Bonds- Government could collapse making your bonds worthless
-Invest in real estate- Housing prices could crash, natural disaster could hit and insurance company could go bankrupt
-Invest in metals- prices could crash, asteroid mining could collapse prices

Your money is never 100% safe no matter where it is invested.

You have not mentioned investments in bitcoins. If you had invested in bitcoins the result could have been different. Consider those who invest in 2016 and they easily got 3x to 4x in 2018. No other investments can give you such high returns as bitcoins can give it to you. Its just a matter of investing at a right time. Many people invest at the peak and then complain as it is obvious you should buy the dip and not the peak.
3480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The used of Bitcoin in Africa on: March 10, 2019, 12:10:32 PM
I think bitcoin can really enhance the lives of people living in Africa. I mean, their overall economy is terrible and people don’t really use banks there much. But with bitcoin, they can just skip the banking part. There are also many blockchain events where people can learn about the ways on how to use crypto in Africa

Africa is an underdeveloped continent and many countries in there face the financial crisis. This will mean that if they introduced and support bitcoin in their economy then it will be very much helpful for them.
Africa can change its fate of they truly implement blockchain and bitcoin in their countries.
