4081  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: August 02, 2016, 10:57:32 AM
I think the view saving money is bit false.

If you are 50-60 and you got like $1 mill in the bank - you`ll be comfortable. But you`ll be kicking yourself in the ass for taking so long to even get there.


I'd rather save now and delay my gratification than spend now and regret later for not having anything for my retirement years. How many retired individuals have we seen go back to work even at their old age because they didn't save while they were still young and able? I worry about my future that is why I am taking steps now to avoid a miserable life for me and my family when the time comes that I'm not able to work any longer.

I have seen a lot of old people still looking for work or going back to their old jobs to support themselves. I feel sad when I see that. And there is a great lesson we can learn from that. NOw that we are young and can still work, we should prepare for our old days. It is never too late to start saving or start investing. We should strive not just save but also invest so that we will secure our future. SO when the time comes, we will not have to work on our old days.

Why a sickness? Then let's consider video games addiction, smoking addiction, alcohool adiction and every single one a Sickness. Isn't it the same thing? Spending $10 on cigarettes or playing with $10 in a casino. Even though it's risky and most of us just loose, it's just our addiction.. not the others' problem if we want to loose our money like that.

Anything that is abused or too much is bad. Like when you play too much video games, it is bad. If you smoke too much, it is bad for your health. And any addiction is bad. You may not feel it right away, but it is like a cancer that will destroy you gradually. By the time that you notice the damage, it is already too late to repair.
4083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 01, 2016, 02:49:18 PM
Because everyone wants easy money stuffs like you can earn a lot of money just by simple stuffs. Being overtaken by greed is a prettt bad thing that you should quit gambling. Better safe than sorry

but gambling won't make anyone easy money. if someone think that he can make easy money for gambling then he's absolutely wrong.
gambling is just looks like easy money. but when you get enter into it and play some time. you'll realize that it is not a way to make easy money. even it make you loose and loose all your money and nothing will left for you.


Although some lucky people do win big money with gambling it happens so rare that you can say it never happens at all. One should take a look at statistics and not at separate cases which don't reflect the whole picture. So I agree wuth you, gambling is a one way track to losing.
I just wish I belong to some people, actually I also win sometimes but it is not the win that I have been longing as I want to win consistently in gambling but to no avail I failed most of the time. I know my chances so maybe I should depend on my luck then to win, but it will not last for long that is why I am going to play it for fun only.

Having a long Winning streaks doesnt exist on gambling, you might win at first but  in the end youll lose everything. Gambling really  depends how much luck do you have. Some  play gambling for entertainment and some for money but  majority are aiming  for profits but   things doesnt goes as  you planned.

You can have a winning streak for maybe  6-8 times in a row. But that is the most of it. And you cannot have a consistent win in gambling just because it is gambling. It has house edge and the game is based on luck. Unless you hack the system, there is no way you'll have a consistent win on gambling.
4084  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: July 31, 2016, 02:16:52 PM
Getting rich is a dream of all people in this world. But how to attain it?
You need to be hardworking and smart. With this gifts you can be rich someday.
it not always need hardworking, to be honest i think i might become rich one day because im buying bitcoins right now and i think the price is going to grow

It is easy to say that to be rich you need to be hardworking and smart. But that is not enough. If it just takes hard work to be rich, then many should be rich by now. Those people who works double shifts and still lack money, they should be rich but no. You should be working hard on the right job or business. And you should not just be smart, you should be financially smart. But still, those two is incomplete. There are a lot more factors needed to be rich.
4085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much you lost money in gambling? on: July 31, 2016, 02:00:00 PM
ofcourse i lose a lot than i win because im just too greedy in playing all i want is easy money where i get the chance that i always lose it's part of the game taking risk and earn big or lose all i only play when in the mood if i want to try my luck again but i always get lose now i never tried to play gambling because i want to hold my bitcoins for future purposes
It is good that you are able to change your habit and quit gambling. It is really better to hold on your bitcoin and.wait for it to have a high price. It is a good investment. It is better than gambling away your money.
4086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: July 31, 2016, 01:06:14 PM
I agree to this topic. Gambling should be considered as a sickness because many people never stop with it anymore and I think its very wrong to gamble also since they keep losing money . If they can't control their selves then it's a sickness.
Yes in gambling controlling our Mindset is very important. And one more thing doesn't be Greedy in gambling. If you show greed in gambling, then I am sure you will get lose. So for this kind of people The Gambling is considered as sickness.
gambling is not a sickness at all, that would be the same like calling smoking a sickness, it is just an addiction and it is normal as people want money

It can be a sickness. It is like calling drugs as a cancer of the society. Gambling is adictive and no addiction is normal. It is normal for people to want money but it is not normal to expect money from gambling even if you are on the wrong side of the odds.
4087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: July 31, 2016, 12:54:09 PM
At least one time a week I try to hit 100 Bitcoins jackpot on luckyb.it and similarly I try to hit different jackpots on different gambling sites. I think I can win 100 Bitcoins maximum at once.  If is about possibility those are unlimited but here I told what I cam win maximum based on my bets amounts and outcome if ever this happens.

That never happens, they just show it to users to make them gamble more for getting the jackpot but no one wins it actually.
Have you even found someone winning such a big amount by just doing small bets? I've never seen anyone with such good luck.

That is also what I am thinking. You cannot win that jackpot prize. It is just there to lure gamblers into betting more. Then they will make the outcome like the gamblers almost win the jackpot, so that the gamblers will be tempted to make more to bets. So better ignore that jackpot prize and just bet for fun.
4088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: July 31, 2016, 12:46:05 PM
i saw a lot of person  who won gambling and they may think that they are mature enough because they defeated the bank roll of the casino .  But in the end they will end up spending it recklessly then they maybe consider as a one day millionaire. Unlike if you gain money from hard work in which you are not going to spend it without even thinking.

Yeah. Just look at the large number of lottery winners who ended up broke 5 years later. Money doesn't solve all your problems. You need to solve them yourself.

Those people cannot handle that much money. There are persons who are born poor and cannot handle the pressure of having too much money. So in the end, they spend it all and lost their riches in a few years. Unlike people who worked hard, and acquired wealth gradually. They are well adjusted to their wealth and spend it better. So getting suddenly rich thru gambling does not help at all.
4089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 31, 2016, 07:47:23 AM
well for me  in my opinion and personal experience games that involve instant cash/bitcoins that is when addiction kicks off and human emotion is really something sometimes when a person is stress they tend to play gambling because that is their stress reliever but not most of the time and if you lose you are greedy to play more!

That might be right, the more you involve your emotion in gambling, the more you'll get attached to it, and staking any part of you in gambling, like your pride, when you already told your pals that you are good in gambling and you are winning, then you will stand on your word and get frustrated when you lose then you'll get addicted to it..

You are right, emotions play a great factor in making gambling addicting. There are lots of emotions involve during gambling. Excitement, happiness, frustrations are a few. And those emotions mixed together makes a good experience in gambling and thus make you come back for more.

So what is your odds in winning that 100Btc jackpot? If the possibility of you wining the jackpot is like the possibility of you winning a lotto ticket, then it is no use. It will be too hard and you are better off working and earning bitcoins. I bet you'll collect 100 btc faster by working and trading than betting on the  website.
4091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: July 31, 2016, 07:19:29 AM
Don't gamble your coins away you will regret it in the end. That is a certainty.
Better to use them to invest atleast you will see something in the end of a long time instead of nothing in a short time with gambling.

Actually you can gambling your coins but not in a huge way because you will get your adrenaline up and mostly this will end bad for you. But to invest you really need a lot to be worth, if only you got small amount it is not worth for the payout

I do agree that we need a slightly lot of money to invest compared to gambling, but we can always start investing with small and slowly increase. In moneypot there is no minimum investment restriction so one can start investing small amounts and over the time your investments will slowly grow to bigger size.

No, actually nowadays, you can start buying stocks as low as 100$. That is not too much isn't? You can start building your investment portfolio from there. Buy a few stocks every month or if you can't do it , quarterly will do. Just do it regularly and you will build a fortune. And remember to buy only promising stocks.

4093  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: July 31, 2016, 07:04:05 AM
Everyone depends upon fiat till digital currencies have direct acceptance universally. Even now we calculate bitcoin in terms of dollars which itself shows the dependence. So fiat is always believed and prioritized worldwide.

We measure bitcoin thru fiat because it is the maintream and we exchange it with bitcoin. But once bitcoin is widely accepted and can purchase anything with it, then we do not need to measure it with fiat. The only thing it will be is in trading or forex.
Only when all the foreign currency will disappear, the Bitcoin, acquire real meaning. While Bitcoin is one of many means of payment, Bitcoin's popularity will not be too large. Until it's time for Bitcoin. In the best case, Bitcoin, you can save up to better times. Hoping that Bitcoin will be the only currency worldwide.

I do not believe and I do not want bitcoin to be the only currency in the world. I earn a lot trading it with other currency, so why would I want that? That will only mean I will lose a source of income. I just want it to be widely accepted and more purchasing power. I think that is enough.
4094  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: July 31, 2016, 06:14:27 AM
For Me. NO. Because you don't know when bitcoin stops, if you still gain profit or not. Not stable I mean. Unlike a full time Day job, you have a fixed monthly salary plus if you are good at your job, you can gain bonuses. The most commonly job on bitcoin is trading and gambling. Yes you can earn as much as 10 BTC at trading but to be sure, that will take years or even decades sometimes. But if you'll ask me, I'll do them both, I will continue my Full time Day Job and earning bitcoin at the same time.

I am agree with you that bitcoin have not any stable job for everyone. only trading is a way to get profit which is not confirmed.
but as you said that no one know when bitcoin stops. this is not right. bitcoin took it's place and it won't stop ever. its price may drop and up but it won't get dead or hide.

and to be true there are lots of stable jobs also. but these are for educated and skilled persons. like developers. designers. programmers. and lots of peoples are already doing full time job.

To make a life from bitcoin you dont need to be skilled, you need luck if you are just focus into trading and if at others ares you need just some project related to bitcoin, soo this can be a paid task and then become your source of bitcoins, sure isnt easy to build a business and achieve sucess instant.

I don't think I will follow this. You really want to just rely on your luck to survive. I think I have a better chance of succeeding in life, whether earning fiat or bitcoin, with my skills rather than my luck. I will not risk my life if it is only for luck. At least with my skills, I know what or what not I am capable. If you really want to earn and survive, fiat or bitcoin, work on your skills and use it.
Well, we all need luck in our life even in our present job today as when we are just a mere employee we don't control the future of the company we are working with.

With bitcoin, if have the skills you can earn a good amount of money and if you know how to save that is good for you as you can use your savings for future investment not only in bitcoin but also in real world.

Of course you will need some positive luck in your life, but it is different if you only rely in your luck to survive and not your skill. Skill is more consistent to provide money for you than on luck. Some days you'll have negative luck and you have no money. But skill will provide money with or without luck.
4095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: July 31, 2016, 06:07:46 AM

 It's fun cause we can win big money. Someone sits on table and in few minutes win/lose more then I earn for all year. I wish fun like that one, to sit and play cards, drink beer and earning money for living. Sounds very funny, and gambling is fun cause of that! When we lose there is no fun at all, and many people who lost a lot of money knows that very good!

 
Winning much money makes it fun and exciting. But the most of us play for the excitement I am positive about that.
Because let's be honest we all know you are not likely to earn a lot of money by gambling...

Doing it for profit or as an income generating activity will take out the fun in it. You'll just be stressed more if you do not win on a day, or you will be chasing your losses so you get some income. I think that is more stressful than fun. But if you do it just to relieve stress, then it can be fun win or lose.
4096  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Welcome To The Blockchain on: July 31, 2016, 05:44:23 AM
Good song. Nice explanation of bitcoin and blockchain too. But I am not a real fan of rap music. Can you make metal, rock or alternative rock music about bitcoin and blockchain too? For people like me who likes those kind of music genre.

hahaha....thank you!...would you like Afrobeat, Chinese Folk, Reggae, Electronic, Calypso, and Salsa versions as well? I'll get right on that using the zero dollars I made off of this song.

Aint there a thing where you made profits with views? Dont really know it but heard about it. I think it is with google ads. Or you just love to do some song?

The earnings made from Ads on YouTube is not nearly enough to offset the cost to create the song.
Well, in this time for making a song it does not require a lot of funds,man. just using a music creator like FLstudio it's very enough to make a simple song.


I also use a music creator...it's called musicians...and singers...and a studio...and mixing...and mastering....there is a difference between making music and making professional music

Well, that sound expensive. I will just appeal to those musicians who want to spread bitcoin thru their passion in music, if they want to create one. If not, it's just alright. You got good music anyway.

Gambling is wreck my life so bad. The last time i gamble is i go all in and i lose it all, it's make my life become bad, i can't sleep well, want to cry everyday and my body like no energy everyday.
Greediness is the main reason why some gamblers loss. They want to get back thier btc in an instant and they bet higher and the result ,they end up loss big amount.

Yeah, greed is always the enemy of a gambler. It can lead you to a wrecked life if you gamble and follow your greed. Sometimes, you are already winning and you can stop gambling already. But greed will tempt you and you will gamble more until you lose everything. So, if you want to be a successful gambler, avoid greed at all times. Learn to control it, not greed control you.
4099  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: July 31, 2016, 05:18:26 AM
If you have a family ,it will teach you how to save money for your future. But if youre single and dont have any plans for the future you will not know what is the meaning of saving if your totally have nothing.

We'll I think you better have to plan for your future.  A man without any plan for his future should be avoided. Or at least influence him on saving something for his  needs in the future.  If you have nothing, you have your body to use for work.  Apply and get hired.  Then  keep at least 10% of your money for savings.  Make it a habit everytime you got your payout. That way you will be able to save.

Yeah, do that. Save at least  10% of your income. Do not wait to have a family of your own before you discipline yourself to save. I don't think you can even save money if you have a family already. It will be 3  times harder because if you have babies already, they will eat a great chunk of your money. And there will be cases they get sick and you have to pull the money you saved. So save while youbare still young and single.

My plan is earning bitcoin in the first and when i have many bitcoins, i will start do trading and invest on some gambling sites and casino and anjoy my  passive income.

Your idea is great, except on investing in gambling sites to earn from your bitcoins,  it's too risky, for sure there will come a time that you will touch your bitcoin there and gamble.. Better put it in different trading sites to profit..  Smiley But it's all up to you, if you are good at managing your investment in gambling sites, then its good.   Smiley

It does not mean you are investing on gambling site, you gamble also. He can just put his money there and let it grow. Then he can spend the profit from that investment or if he have money, he can invest on other things. The idea here is invest and have a good passive income so you can live comfortably without having to work.
