Cleveland Cavaliers played natural game more defensive than offensive but Golden State Warriors was seeming defensive as well.They changed their strategy which cost them of loosing final match.Cavaliers played very well even they lost in last few matches but there was huge difference in performances of these competitors.

Lebron was passive most of the 2nd half and nearly choked it away, but he made perhaps the game saving block while Kyrie took a bad shot and hit it. The 2 clutchest plays of the series. What a game!

That was the best block of the game, chasing down igoudala from way back. If he haven't done that, gsw could have won the game. That gave irving the chance for the three points. It was over 3 minutes without any team scoring and every shot thrown sent chills to my bones. A very exciting end for a good final series.

At some point it would be wise to cash in if you make a big profit. I don't know about buying a house, but if the point is to make money, then when you get enough you should realize some of that gain.
With the current rate of bitcoins recently you can only buy a house if you have a good amount of investment but for people like the average one it would not be possible. Only the rich will become rich because they have the strong hands to hold bitcoins even for a longer period of time while average people use their bitcoins income for daily needs.
Average people can also hold as long as they want  only smaller in amount than the rich people. It is all in your desire and will to hold. If you can hold small amount today, then in the future that small amount will grow and you can hold more. and you can earn more.

Greedy always come tease as I have only played for fun with BTC 0:01 deposit after playing a few rounds I SAW someone bet with 400/900 mBTC.
He always wins interested me want to try after following the other players how to play still lose for that I avoid watching players who are playing.

see other people win always make me tempted to follow them because hoping the results will be same and i think this is one of the main factor to keep people coming back to gambling but unfortunately the results in every people will be different because it all depends fortune to each person


That is envy, then you get greedy. You gamble all your money wishing to win as much as those whales are winning. But you will never win because it is really hard to win on a luck based game. But then you will see people winning and you will wonder how they win. And you will try again your luck. It is a cycle and you will always come back to gambling because the lure of easy money is hard to resist.
4304  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: June 20, 2016, 06:15:28 AM
I don't know anybody who did it personaly, but i think that people who working like this, i mean full time on bitcoin, they know and understand what and how to do to make money for living.


People who has a day job usually makes the bitcoin world as their side line. They wanted to have multiple sources of income. People who are doing bitcoin in full time are mostly people who are people who basically can't get a job for some reasons. Although not everyone who's full time on bitcoin are uneducated, there are some people that chose to make Bitcoin as their day job. Maybe because they are earning much more in bitcoins and they want to focus on it, and they just see their previous day job as a disturbance to their bitcoin journey.
It is true that people who has daily is going to here to have an extra income but it is not unlikely to be true that people who do full bitcoin has hard  to get a job thats why they shifted with bitcoin, maybe they find potentiality on the coin thats why they go full on it. It is hard to put an image on everyone who's doing full time job in bitcoin, they might have specific reasons but not always the negative one.

I think the person who doing full time in bitcoin for now is those jobless people, and they made it a temporary source of income because they cant find job for now and thats really good since bitcoin is here, but for those who have job i think they are those who is innactive and making bitcoin as past time only.

I have a job and I am active in the bitcoin scene. It is just that bitcoin provides a good opportunity to make extra money without too much work. So, it is a good part time job and it pays well especially now that the price is really high. The hours you spent for bitcoin is really worth it. If there is a really good opportunity that pays really well and better than my job, I think going full time can be considered.

congrats cavs fans no word can say just believed the king will take care of the rest. to those who win extra you can send me tip ahahaha good job irving for hitting the most important shot. i love nba.
Lebron gives the cleveland cavaliers total happiness today and this man is deserving of becoming the finals MVP. I am seeing another championship for the cavaliers next season with the way they play and under the new coach. I cried when they cried, LOL.
they deserved it irving really make things happen the last play is was him who deliver the 3 points and the extra assist for lebron
all of those important key on winning this came from irving so i hope the whole world will see this. thank you cavs for winning this
it is a sweet winnings.
It was irving and lebron but I salute more on Lebron because he sacrificed his body in order to win the game. He almost injured himself with that dunk and it was really scary until I know that he was just flopping, LOL. But the tears were real, so as coach Lue. Lebron also deserved best dramatic actor of the series, coming from a cavs fan here.

That was real bad fall, his arm caught all the weight of his body going down. Without the arm guard, it could have been a serious injury. Luckily, it did not injured himself. That last ten seconds is thrilling. You know how fast GSW can score a three. Good job for cavs for sealing the three point shots of curry and thompson. CAVS deserve this years championship.

I think that it really depends on what sort of investment you are looking to invest in. Obviously if the investment you are investing in is something along the lines of a HYIP, then don't do it at all.

But if it's investing in BTC, go ahead.

Yeah, those investment that promises high reward on a very short period of time are normally scam and should be avoided. Be wise and avoid those types of investment. Be sure to check out every investment you want to join before putting money in. Investment is good and better than in savings if you do it right.
Exactly, only fool will fall in the kind of trap investment, we need to invest on a more legitimate investment. Investing in gambling sites is legitimate and I like it because they are profitable, the only thing you need is to have a decent amount of capital to enjoy good returns of your investment. But if you want to be safer then just keep you coins in your wallet instead of converting it to fiat and put it to the bank.

of course there are still people who will fall to this type of scams. People who are new to investing and those who are greedy are easy victims to high return scams. Then they will cry that investment is bad. If you really want a good investment, go for those investments that are already trusted and are sure to have a return and will not run away with your money.
4307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: June 20, 2016, 05:07:17 AM
just block all gambling sites

Blocking all gambling websites is in control of a gamblers one day. But blocking a mind ( brain ) with full of greed is too hard and impossible for a gambler.


A gambler would always find a way to gamble. If he, himself, was the one who blocked the gambling sites, of course he would know how to unblock it. The urge of gambling is so hard to resist. And on a side note, you can't actually block a portion of your mind unless you get an amnesia. Roll Eyes

That is quite true. So hire someone who will block all gambling sites in your network so that you can't unblock it yourself. But even that have a lot of work around. You can just go to other computer shops and go gamble there. If you really want to stop it, a strong determination to quit is needed. Force yourself to avoid gambling and you will be able to get away from it eventually.
4308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: June 20, 2016, 03:55:06 AM
winning and loosing in gambling is depending on luck. i will never leave gambilng if i loose.

That's called a gambling problem my friend.
You are bound to lose, which means you keep playing and giving those casino's your money.

A vicious circle...
His logic might be fawed but he has made a fair point. YOu should quit your gambling session after a win, when you are ahead, even a little.
But instead vast majority of people I know, or I see online is repeating the same error of being ahead->wanting more->playing->losing everything.



That is the common mistake of people gambling. The other one is losing, then trying to win back their loss and then losing more money. There is no winning in gambling even how hard you try. If you keep coming back to gambling, chances are, you will be losing more. So it is better not to gamble at all and free your self some troubles.
4309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: June 20, 2016, 03:19:16 AM
I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?

I got same issue like you. I know at the end (with my methods) i will lose my money in gambling.
But after i postponning to not make bet or play. I just keep make bet until today.  Undecided

Self controlling and understanding is the best way to not got addicted in gambling.

You must know how to control yourself. If you don't want to become one of the addicted gamblers our there. Stop betting or playing. Because once started, it is hard for you to stop. You must know how to stop as early as you can. Just a bit of advice. hehe

It's so hard to control myself when on gambling. Especially when you win some but you want more and keep gambling and you become addictive. It's become a problem and makes you lose in the end.
I think that this is the problem of every one. every one is in struggle to make more and more money in a very very short time. but I make him addicted and if he won a lot of money still he will be willing to increase it.

Yep. But another thing to note is gambling gives you a certain excitement. Same concept you get when you are drug high. And i guess that is what making it addictive.
Drug high is less risk than gambling because when you are high with drugs you will not lose money unless you also gamble but most like trips are going out on a bar with friends. On the other hand, gambling addiction is very dangerous as you might be bankrupt within a day if you make a bad decision with your money.
Non sense. When does drugs become a better thing. It is even worse because when you are in drugs you do not have control of your self. Drugs will take over your mind and body. And there is also the risk of getting over dosed. A lot of people died because of drug overdose. No addiction is good, whether drugs or gambling.

Congrats for the Cleveland Cavaliers for to be the champion on 2016 NBA. James Lebron so emotional though, he cried. Well played for both teams, no luck for Warriors on this match.

It was a very close fight and good defense was shown by both team. Irving nailing that 3 points and lebron 1 free throw nailed the championship. GSW played a good game today and there is no doubt they are a good team but cavs is just simply better this series. Congrats CAVS.
4311  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: June 20, 2016, 02:13:08 AM
Let us just put it this way, your work gives you security but will limit your potential earnings even how good you are because you work for someone and you are making them so much rich with your ability but what if you will try it with bitcoins where you are not an employee and you will benefit fully when you success. The profit is all yours and the losses would be yours too, the more your risk the more potential of your income.

But not everyone is comfortable being the one investing and being the boss. Some people are just comfortable being an employee and can work better that way. If you can handle stress and be the boss of your own, you can quit your job and focus on bitcoin. If not, then just continue doing your job and take bitcoin as part time job.

Never for profit always for fun always.
Ita not a reliable source of income at all. Its not regular and at anytime you can lose absolutely everything.

That's right! Most of people who's starting to be a fan of gambling most specially who's winning a lot of money was also a fan of losing a lot of their income, instead of spending their money with their family, they are choosing to go to the casino or online gambling for them to just have fun.
Therefore it is really important that we are responsible when gambling to avoid doing crazy things that would affect our relationship with our family, the amount intended for gambling should be followed strictly and do not use the money for your family to go on with your daily lives.

It is better if you do not gamble at all so that you will not be tempted to burn the money intended for your family. If you gamble, even if you say you are a responsible gambler, there will always be temptation to bet the money you have. And it is hard to fight temptation. It is a losing a battle. So better not gamble and save your money.
4314  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: June 19, 2016, 12:09:10 PM
I think it is best to view bitcoin as an investment, a store of value, or a currency instead of as a job. There aren't that many job opportunities in the bitcoin world, and even if there was then they'd pay way less than your day job.

So yeah, sticking with day job for now.

If it is just as a salary from a job, it will be just the same as fiat. But if you view bitcoin as an investment, then opportunity is endless. There can be a lot of opportunity to earn and make a lot of money thru bitcoin. It can be a lot better than fiat if youcan have a good investment or if you have a trading skill.
4315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: June 19, 2016, 09:23:59 AM
It's hard to stop gambling if you not seriously want it. I have experienced on it and the only way i escape from gambling is remember my family and my future kid.

I think you can surely stop gambling if you are not really addicted to it, and I think you are not really that addicted to gambling, but an addicted person even if he want's to quit gambling when he see or remember something about gambling he will tempted to try it once more that is really addicted to gambling.
Yes nothing is impossible and its about addiction there are many ways to leave it just take your mind in something more profitable equal to gambling like tradings/lending that can take your mind away from gambling easily because I have already experienced with that Cheesy.


For people who are already in too deep in gambling addiction, it will be harder to quit. It is like quitting drugs, you can't do it alone, you'll need help. But those people who are just moderately addicted or just starting to, maybe if they force themselves to focus on other things, then they can quit gambling.
4316  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: June 19, 2016, 09:17:32 AM
prepare your bitcoin , we are getting rich when bitcoin halving .  Cool Cool Cool
I think halving not necessarily going to make bitcoin prices higher. could have made halving the price correction in bitcoin. and will probably be lower. but if you want to get rich from the rise in prices. you should be able to have a large amount of bitcoin

Those who will be rich on halving are those who have a lot of bitcoins already. May those early adopters who have hundreds of coins in their wallet. But for and those like me who have only a few bitcoins, all we.can do is make profit and take advantage of the price movement on the halving.
4317  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: June 19, 2016, 08:36:24 AM
Saving money requires a lot of discipline from ourselves, we need to stick with our budget plan and avoid spending thru credit because sometimes we cannot control our self in that situation, we need to automatically set aside savings from our expenses and only spend what is left after the savings is secured.

That is a good advise. Setting aside your savings first and making do of what is left with your money. If your money is not enough, then you have to think of ways to earn more. If one job is not enough, take some part time job to add to your money.
4318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016 NBA Finals on: June 19, 2016, 08:31:48 AM
Lebron has waited for this moment since the start of his career. He has never been closer to winning a championship for his home town than now. I don't know what's gonna happen, but no one on the Dubs will be able to slow him down even a little. He will have a crazy performance and will do everything it takes to get that W. None the less, I hope game 7 will be fun to watch.

I hope so too. The series has been a roller coaster ride and I hope it would be concluded with a thrilling game 7. Cavs has the upper hand now because they got the momentum and gsw center is out. Lebron will be free to dominate the paint. We will see drives and dunks from Cavaliers one after another.
4319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: June 18, 2016, 11:00:16 PM
Learned my lesson after adding up the total of 1.4 btc loss at primedice on a 90% roll lol.

It only takes once to feel that real pain and the what if moments you could of done with that money to stop you.

Woah that's a really big amount of lose in gambling. I'm thinking on what certain items that I can buy with that amount.
Experience is always the best teacher because you are not going to accept the fact if you are not going to experience it.
And even someone is reminding you to stop gambling because it will just destroy your life you won't listen.

That is a costly mistake but you are still lucky because you realized what you are doing is wrong with just 1.4 btc. Others have lost more in gambling and still going for it. The important thing is that you know now that gambling is not for you and you have learned your lesson. You can now focus on more important things and not on gambling.
4320  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: June 18, 2016, 10:57:07 PM
I think that better to make your choise according to your situation, so i think that i am gonna choose both of them.

That's true save now and invest in future as to invest anywhere you need a capital and that can be done only by saving, so saving primary and investment is secondary option.
Every person is different if I prefer to invest as a first option, saving money is important but you do not get anything, it is different from the investment.

Savings.provide security. Investment can fail, but if you have a good amount of savings in bank or in your wallet, you can be confident in your investments. You can have a fallback when your investment goes south. That is why I think savings is as important as investment.
