He must be very lucky and blessed I wish he will use the amount of winning appropriately since this is once in a lifetime opportunity,he might consider also helping others since that amount is huge that can feed he’s family the entire life of 3rd to 4rth generations
He's lucky indeed, winning a $7M jackpot is a big thing and it can change a lot of things for his lifetime. And after all of those losses he made because he's buying lottery tickets for a long time. He can do whatever he want but I think he will diversify it to some investments and ventures and will enjoy it after his retirement. We can never really expect things like this in our lives. The janitor had been so lucky to turn out to become millionaire. I think that there is a time in our life that we will be able to experience this one life time opportunity. Now, we only have to look upon on things to have a once in a life time opportunity. I bet my life will change because of gambling especially in betting jackpots and lottery. Yes they are very random things and cannot happen every day of cannot happen to 90 out of 100 people in the same building. The story from being a janitor to millionaire is pretty interesting but that is pure luck or randomness. I am more confident about the games that could be won by mental capabilities and calculations like Chess. But it is not bad to participate in lottery. the victory obtained by the janitor illustrates that to be able to win pure gambling because based on luck, he does so certainly not in a short time, when he always fails he can't win, he continues to buy lottery tickets to be able to win. then I can conclude someone who wants to get a big win in gambling certainly requires a long process and there is always a risk that will be faced, one of which he must be willing to spend large capital first lottery is a game that requires full luck . the janitor's story is one of the evidence because he is only a janitor and he cant afford to buy alot of tickets but in the end he still manage to win the jackpot by only buying small amount of tickets . he is a risk taker because even he is poor he still insist to risk the small amount of money that he got from his janitorial job just to buy lottery tickets , good thing that he is blessed with luck and now he is enjoying his millions . how i wish this can happen to all .

For those investing in bitcoin, don't hesitate to buy it when it is low. 3k dollars price is really low compared right now. Many buyers of bitcoin that bought during its peak and later on they blamed bitcoin because they lost a lot. They don't know what the real environment of bitcoin. They are just speculating it when it moves up.
They do not know how Bitcoin behaves at that point. There are a lot of new investors that thought Bitcoin is a fraud, another pyramid scheme so these first investors of it will earn money and they run from them when the price dumps, but it is not. There are scams all over the internet and Bitcoin is not one of them, they should know about that. there are way too many scams on the net and also outside the net but the sad part is that they are now using the word bitcoin and cryptocurrency to market thier scam attempts and thats the reason why cryptos such as bitcoin gain a negative reputation from the public especially to those who are newbies but anyway back on the real topic , the best tips that i can give for the first time investors is that they should stock some knowledge first . when i say knowledge i mean general not just only in crypto and btc but also on how investing works .

I think those who called Bitcoin a scam are not well educated about it. I find it pathetic how they simply judging it without knowing it first. I challenge them to enumerate the reasons why they say that Bitcoin is a scam. Maybe its just better to accept that you don't know about it than judging it without taking the reason.
I don't think they are not educated it's that they are not well informed about bitcoin, they only base their judgement mainly on rumors and didn't do a little research that's why they say is scam, but for me I don't really dwell on these people instead I pity them for being ignorant and not being able to see and experience bitcoin's potential and greatness. the fisrt reason people say Bitcoin is a scam is that they don't know anything about Bitcoin and how it works, yes they only judge and never invest and never try to enter the crypto world that Bitcoin is an asset that benefits in the future if digital technology more advances. I personally don't really care about the words of people who don't know about the world of Bitcoin. have you read the comments above you ? they said that not all people said that bitcoin is a scam are unknowledgeable or dont know anything about bitcoin . well id say its true because ive witnessed alot of pro investors online which claims that bitcoin is a scam and they say bad stuffs to bitcoin but i also agree on you that we shouldnt care too much for them becauase we already know to our selves that bitcoin is not really a scam or bad . bitcoin is a currency and also an investment asset and its only up to the user if what use he/she prefer for bitcoins .

I think altcoins bull are precisely exist, just a matter of time because bitcoin has totally develope even in a gradual way and altcoins wil surely follow on bitcoin's growth. And hopefully it will continue to grow beyond on what we have desire.
some altcoins have started to rise. even ethereum is now also experiencing a slight increase. not the most important problem is still in an uptrend. I think bull will come soon for altcoin, but before that maybe we should wait for bitcoin to experience a big pump first. Bitcoin has been in the bull run but it looks like it won't be enough for altcoins to follow the trend it has right now. Some altcoins still sleeping and even known altcoins aren't be moving fast just like what Bitcoin does. It may be and so hopeful that there us a surprise in the 3rd quarter which makes change the trend and helping altcoins to move higher. i agree on you bro . the price of bitcoin is currently small even if we say that its a bull run . take a look at the year 2017 , you can see that bitcoin bull run is on 18kusd and above and altcoin/tokens easily followed . what i mean is that we need to see bitcoins price to grow higher or much better if we see btc touch 18kusd again so that altcoins are already sureball to start thier own bull run . in the case of eth , what we see is only a small recovery and its not a pump or a bull whatsoever .

Facebook just make again their own virtual again, At 2009 they making facebook credits its a virtual currency at Facebook for their marketplace.
this is the first time i heard facebook credits but i was an avid user of facebook and i didnt see the facebook credits that you are talking about . maybe its only available on some countries ? there is a wallet feature that i see on facebook but they are using a third party e-money wallet/currency . Re: Libra coin over Bitcoin is that possible?
is it possible . many coins in the crypto market are in a competition and some have succesfully overtake the others so there is also a possibility that libra coin can overtake btc but its not a big deal to me . i will actually be happy because we now have other alternative for money making business .

It's still early to speculate if bitcoin will achieve new ATH now.
there is no right or wrong in speculating but here on this thread we are not speculating because the op only claims that the ath is repeating . the op is right because the all time high is repeating for other coins , including btc this year . on this year btc had reach its ath at 9k usd but the value had fall and now its repeating because the value returned at over 9k usd again . the saying is really true that history repeats itself but im still hopping that the year 2017 ath will repeat because 2017 ath is so far the best among other year's ath .

I can't hold altcoin for long time because I think is not best ideas how to get much profit, always have lower price with all of altcoin keep holding for long time and always try selling when price is higher.
if we hold wrong altcoin ofcourse its bad idea.holding altcoin actually could give us alot of profits if correct on this coins.holding altcoin will give us two benefits from bitcoin price movement and altcoin movement itself.if market in bearish trend we will get double profits. bearish trend ? no mate its the bull trend that gives you profit not the bear because the bear means decrease of the price . sometimes we dont also know if we hold a wrong altcoin or not because sometimes we engage our selves on bounties as well as on airdrops if ever we dont have a cash to invest on legit coins . hodling the said coins is not bad but hodling is a good strategy to see if those coins you hodl have a potential to grow or not . its recomended to atleast hodl a coin for 2 to 3 years and more to achieve the results that we are always looking for .

im not really into gambling but if i do . i think im gambling for fun becuase im not expecting any return due to the fact that my bankroll is only small . its either my bankroll came from the gambling sites faucet or sometimes it came from my btc wallet ( if ever i have a spare btc ) . although there is still an urge of winning and possibly doubling my balance . win or loose i still accept on whatever the outcome . whats more important to me is the experience , the experience that i can still play gambling no matter what .

Its easy to take profit with trading because if you have much money you can easy to get little profit just few time, always buy some coin have higher volume and always active when price higher sell soon.
Everyone including the op says that crypto trading is hard but you are different from them because you think trading is easy if you have lots of capital ,well id say that capital plays a vital role but trading needs more than capital . You need to be mentally , physically and technically focused but the problem is that most traders lack one of this good traits . In order to become successful in trading you also need to be successful in mastering the three traits that I mentioned earlier .

I think it's good in the sense that since so many companies are behind it,
so many companies are behind it? i though its owned by facebook ? therfor facebook is the only company that owned it . you mean to say that fb have some partnership with other companies to market this coin succesfully and also to have some shares so that they can also earn a profit whenever the coins became a hit on the market . it will make Bitcoin more attractive.
how ? do you think its a good thing ? i guess no . you should not be happy with this coin because this coin is a might be a big competitor of bitcoin and itll not make bitcoin more attractive but itll make bitcoin less attractive .

I'm not removing that fact that there were some newly launched casino's that are also trusted.
But as I've said it's much better to trust the old ones before the new ones.
Old gambling sites are good to believe because they have been doing it for a long time and many people believe it. But there's no harm in trying on a new gambling site, to play small games to see fully whether it's more comfortable and reliable on old or new gambling sites. Just want to add something on here, ussually you will find a new game on new gambling site, which you can't find it on old gambling site, example : plinko games. That's why ussually people more attracted to new gambling site (they are also offering many bonuses for few people who registered/tried their site). I think people want to feel a new experience by playing a new game in the gambling website or maybe they are bored to play the same games every time they came to the gambling sites. But once again, if you decide to play a new game in the new gambling sites, make sure you can choose the right gambling site, so you don't have any problem in the future. gambling has never been boring especially if your main goal on why you play gamble is because of the profit while those who only play gambling for fun or for the purpose of enterntainment they were the ones that will soon find gambling to become boring especially if the gambling site do only have one game . this the reason why some gamblers jump from one gambling site to another site because they want to check the other gambling site if it has a new ui or a new game .

Etherium was the big option for if we want to buy some coins, Actually etherium are in the move to increase the price and reach of $1000 that you said. And thats true etherium will be a 4-5 profit in this year so for now just start to buy some of them and hold it until the time comes for etherium be in bull run.
too long to reach that price. I think to buy ethereum and hold it for a long time is not very good either. although this asset is good for the long term but we don't know what will happen to the crypto market in the next 5 years. I prefer short-term investment or daily trading that gives us flexibility in assessing the growth of our assets. whenever I get a profit I feel enough and can sell it immediately. well every person has a different choices . some like to wait for more profit while there are some that like you that are already contented to earn small profits . etherium is the best suitable coin for those who are patient person that loves hodling because etherium is a slow moving coin but the potential profit that you can get on eth is also big when compare to other fast moving altcoins that increase too often but only for a small percentage . best altcoins to buy for now is eth , xrp , bch , ltc ( to name a few ) there are still good altcoins out there but they are too many to mention .

Because of the opportunity that cryptocurrency gives to the people. Blockchain technology changes the lifestyle of the people.
First of all cryptos are only a currency and they arent the ones that provides carreer or oppurtunites but its the company or the big business . the company or the business that is somehow related to cryptos and the blockhain are the ones that hire people to help them to promote and do other task and they pay you cryptos . blockchain and cryptos are both tandem because one cant stand out or exist if one is missing . so the credit should goes to the both of them

the casino allow him to bring the cash home that way?
of course yes because thats his winnings and its not the business of the casinos anymore to care if what or how their costumer handle thier cash . but i don't wander, if it happened in the philippines, it can happen again anywhere in the philippines. there had been several incidents like this where Chinese and Koreans are the very victim.
not only chinese and koreans but any race are not exempted to this incidents . criminal wont choose if thier victim is black or white , with or without money but as soon as thier criminal instincs strikes no one is safe with them .

As long as this thread is alive, gambling will never ends. haha.
lol . this thread has nothing to do with the faith of gambling . gambling can end or continue depending on the mood of the people/costumers or itll depend on the owner but not all has the same minds . there will still some that will love to gamble while some will love to stop playing for thier own good . @op what you are reffing to a gambling addict and not to the gambling itself but your title is a bit misleading . your title is too general . gambling business wont end but a gambler user or a gambling addict can end his session or he can quit if wants to and with the help of others .

Our community is only here because of BTC, we all share the same ideas behind BTC and cryptos in general I'll not support this coin, no matter what, and I expect almost all people do the same
easy bro . this is just a normal coin . this facebook's libra coin dont differ from other coins out there that come and go . its normal at first to see this coin at hype but eventually the hype will subside and people will return to praise bitcoin again . you did mention this community . this community is not only for bitcoin but its for general , we can talk about other coins and other stuffs as long as they are placed on the right section of this forum .

Well, most of all people are want to watch especially if they bet on a big amount, because they want immediately the result.
what if you bet on a basketball match ? basket ball match has a 4th quarter game and can take a little longer to end compare to other sports betting . do you think watching that game will make immediate results ? no bro . it only make the game longer but leaving your bets for a while does make the job done . But on my idea its better to wait a result if who will be to win. Because sometimes while you watching there is a disappoint or you not contented on their games. After the games then thats the time to know if who really wins.
yeah you got a point here . watching the actual game can give unpleasant feeling to some but there are some people that gets entertained especially if the team that they are betting is thier favorite team .

How BNB could be the ETH?
Maybe I am not informed enough but as i have red it is not possible to build contracts on BNB base. BNB is meant to give some benefits to Binance users, like allow to participate in their launchpad IEOs.
of course no one said that bnb is simillar to eth or will replace eth . what were debating here is that bnb is also a potential coin that will likely follow the footsteps of eth . BNB has much more potential than XRP and certainly the top 3 position will belong to BNB in the near future .
i dont agree with that . bnb is new while xrp have already gained reputation just before bnb became popular . there are many good coins next to xrp that will fit perfectly on the 3rd or 4th spot and so on ....

I think it's a great strategy at this point. No altcoins can bring better and better profits than BTC. Those who aim to profit from 30% - 40% within 4 months, buy BTC now. when Libra gets more and more fomo, it is also the time when many people want to buy more BTC.
Libra a new altcoins with a lot of hype, but, for me ethereum still better than this new altcoins,, and i prefer to hold few altcoins such as ethereum, litecoin and others rather than sell all my alt for bitcoin my friend i knew bitcoin is the most promissing crypto, but, Don't Put All your Eggs in One Basket ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) you should sell hype coins asap because those coins are only being manipulated and they will soon lost thier shine , not unlike to eth and other established alts that are built to last a life time . if you already hold established alts like eth then there is no need to sell them but instead its a better idea to continue hodling them because they will soon rise along with btc just like what happened last week where eth did increased and pump a week later after btc pumped up .

In some times it will be favourable for you but I think you need to be more power in trading in all the time otherwise the survival is very very difficult in trading field but if you put your hard work the end will definitely e positive for you and you can make huge income more than your normal job in trading cryptocurrencies.
Those ups and downs are normal in crypto trading but if i were to believe in his claim that he earned 12 btc last month then i think he can sustain what he have started which for me is impressive. If i can do it myself, even 10 btc is enough and i would quit my job either. you can quit your job but anytime but the question is that if you can trade as good as the op ? if you cant trade better then you should think twice before you totally quit your job because you will be in total disaster but i agree on you that 10 btc is enough to retire and live for a lifetime . its proven that crypto job are more profitable than a regular jobs that pays at a minimum rate even when cryptos are in a volatile state because cryptos base price are already higher and improved when compare to the previous years because of the demand and the demand are still expected to grow in the future .
