I dont think that its a smart move to quit your full time job and get full time into bitcoin as no one is sure what will be the future of bitcoin.

Exactly and I don't want to see my family begging on the streets in future for the worsts decision that I can take.
  of course you don't have to quit your job if you have doubts that you can provide for your family thru bitcoin. Switch only if you are 100% sure that you are earning more than enough to make your family live comfortably. Otherwise, maintain your job and do bitcoin onthe sides.

You  can afford to get full time on bitcoin only if you have huge capital to invest, and that capital will be helpful in trading as even small fluctuations can give you good profits.

Or if you own an.exchange site or an online casinos. Both of.this businesses can rake you in serious amount of money. Downside is, they also need large amount of capital to get started. Otherwise, better keep your job and earn bitcoin on the side and hold it. If you earn enough bitcoin before halving, that can turn into a lot of money when price rises after halving. So you can exchange it to fiat and start your own business. Then you can quit your job and.focus on your business.
but it needs a lots of capital and i think this is not the only way to be a full time in bitcoin.. its better to study some skills online programming skills that you can offer here in our forum..

It is not easy to learn programming and the competition in it is already too high. So, you will have a hard time landing a job in it because you are new and less experienced. It will be better if you do that on a day job. You can enter companies who accept fresh grads for junior programmer and you will have a better pay than doing it in bitcointalk service section.

Because if your gaining, your mind think that you can earn more. And if your losing, your mind think that you can recover your loss.
Looks like your right thats why people are always coming back in gambling this is just like me that if im gaining i am thinking that i can make easy money in gambling but honestly i realize that it a part of addiction..
But i cant still stop gambling because im hoping to win big..
Well I can control mine, what I do is limit what i deposit in gambling sites. For example I want to gamble I just put 10usd in my deposit address in gambling and if I lose well I stop if I hit my mark gain. I also stop.

This just shows that you are not.addicted yet and that you have great control of.your gambling habit. The question is, how long can you keep that control up. Continue playing gambling and there will come a time that you get addicted in what you do. Then you will lose a control.that you have. I really hope that time will not come.

After winning todays game, gsw will give thier best at game 6 ,cause it will be win or go home for them.
Game 6 at okc the outlook of this game is no blood no foul. They will forced a deciding game 7 at golden state.
if gsw force this to game 7 it would be a good series to watch out as okc dominate the game in their homecourt I just wondering how gsw prevent them to get the wins. maybe step needs to show everything just like what he did today, might needed for him to be more aggressive not only to trust his shooting capability outside but bring threat inside and pass more as well.

The pressure will be on the OKC if it does get to Game 7 so they have to finish the series at home. It will be a high time for betting sites if it gets to Game 7 though.

OKC  really plays good at home, so you can expect them to win this series on game 6. But if curry do some really good shooting, then OKC  are.in trouble. Curry is hard to stop when he is on fire. He can shoot anywhere in the court and still make the shots.

But I am looking forward the.game of cavs and raptors. I think this series will go on game 7. Both teams are.really good at home.court.

The earnings from gambling can be unlimited but it depends on how much luck you have if you have enough luck you can become rich.
The same rule is also that you can become poor of it of course.

that is true. it can be unlimited but also it can be impossible to hit those numbers and win that big amounts.

i mean there is always the very faint possibility of winning the jackpot but nobody wins it.
Yes, the virtual reality of gambling is the magic to all the gamblers. I am not ready to believe that I am not able to make any profits from gambling but also I believe gambling is not for profit making. Yes, we can make thousands of bitcoin from gambling, but we are loosing some bitcoins in gambling time to time.....

Gambling can win or lose. So you cannot rely on it as a steady source of income. But you can earn a lot sometimes and that will be beneficial if you have a huge need of money. But, it is not guaranteed. So, if you want to a guaranteed source of income, better work and don't gamble. But if you nust want a chance to tripple or quadriple your money, then gamble. Just don't whine when you lose all your money.
4466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 27, 2016, 06:10:49 PM
when i become rich, first thing to do is buy a new house, car , make a business, invest in some company, then when everything is stable, that is the time i will gamble my extra money , but just for fun

Nice plan but can't you just remove the gambling plan. Everything is stable and you have everything, why do you even need gambling for fun? It might be the cause of your demise if you gamble so better not do it. Better spend your money on better things like vacation, sports or new hobbies. Spend your time on things than can make you a better and healthier person.
The people that is rich have the opportunity to gamble and that is really nice because many people cant gamble because they are poor or they became poor of it and that is bad.
Because gambling will be not that bad if you are not losing that much money and get not addicted to it.

Poor people still gamble and in my opinion they gamble a lot more than rich people. And there I no assurance that you will not be addicted to gambling if you are.rich. in my opinion, you are more prone to addiction because you can gamble more because you are funded. The more time you spend gambling, the more addict to it you become.
4467  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: May 27, 2016, 06:07:19 PM
Doing both will be the best thing that you can do and that is because there are still a lot of people that is holding now because it can be more worth later and that is nice.
But saving money is just for backup if you are losing a lot of money with investing but that wont happen so fast.

I agree with you, doing both saving and investing would benefit you and this is the best thing to do in case of your decision.
Once you have savings you can use it to back up your investment.

If you can do both yes it will be good. But people tend to risk more or gamble more than saving it. Thinking "what ifs" when they saw the profit from investing it. So the savings will be also risked for the investment.
If what you save is for emergency purposes, then.don't use it. Keep it safe and only use it when you don't have money anymore. But if you saved money for investment, then use it to back up your investment and make it grow. It is always better to have more investments than savings because investments make your money work for you. It will earn you money without working.

Quitting my job for the bitcoin is a whole sacrifice and I will never do this because I also have a family that I have to feed and because of that its not worth it in my eyes.

so you think that bitcoin could not make a living for your family? there are a lot of some of my friends have a family and children, but they have gone full time for bitcoin, yes because they can get greater results from their previous work. they can get 1-5 BT /month

Its not possible for everyone to earn that amount in bitcoin per month, and to be honest my salary in fiat is more then 5 btc, then why should I quit my job.

if you are right, that you get a salary of more than 5 BTC, but why would you still join the signature campaign in this forum? I myself honestly, if I have a salary of more than 5 BTC. I will use my time to get bigger, than Siganture campaign.

I think, if you can get paid on something that you will normally do for free is good. It is additional earning no matter how much you are earning. Even if you are earning 5 BTC or more, and you are active in this forum, earning from signature campaign is not a sin. It is actually good because you are not wasting any time. You earn on what you love to do.
4469  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is your plan to get rich with Bitcoin? on: May 26, 2016, 10:39:00 AM
best plan to get rich with bitcoin is HOLD your coins, bitcoin is rare and its price will skyrocket very soon when more peopl starts using it.

Good plan though it does seem to good to be true. Lets not get to overexcited and greedy; at the end of the day we should remember that money is supposed to be spent and we shouldnt forget about our loved ones. Earning more than you need and not using it is really kinda sad.


It is not sad if you get to enjoy it eventually when the price is already ripe for the picking. And holding money for future use is always right. You are not depriving yourself or your family the use of money, but postponing it until the time you can make the most out of the money or bitcoin you have. And you should always think of the future and save for retirement so earning more is a must.
4470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: May 26, 2016, 10:30:01 AM
Well its not only gambling. There are many different tragedies in life such as car accidents. Car accidents are bad, but does that mean that cars are evil and wrong? No it matters how they are used.
yes I agree, it all depends on who uses it. if they are prepared to lose in gambling, gambling is not wrong.

It is not wrong if you don't think much about the money that you will get or might get in gambling but I think that It will always become wrong because it is very impossible for someone to not think about the money he can get in gambling and that is wrong!

gambling is synonymous with making money fast. so I think anyone who comes and plays into gambling because they want to earn a lot of money in a short time, and even wants to become rich with gambling.

That is true, that is the reason you gamble, you want money or at least make what you have more instantly without much effort. It is hard to say that you can gamble without thinking about money because money is what you use to gamble. You will always think about money and you will want it quick when you gamble. That kind of thinking, easy money, is what makes gambling wrong.

Gambling is all a trick.  People think that because they can make money quick and that because they have a strategy, they will be able to beat the dds and that is just not true.  To many people I know have wasted so much in gambling and have nothing to show for their mistakes. 
Most of the gamblers have the same perception about gambling, they think it is the easiest way to make money in a short span of time without realizing the risk associated on it.

Of course gambling is a quick way to earn money if you happen to be lucky and hit a jackpot. But the odds of doing that is very low. And gamblers love that feeling of almost hitting a jackpot in gambling. That is why it is addicting. It makes you feel that you can win the jackpot but actually it is just a ploy. You will never hit a jackpot. So you end up an addict without money.

If i were rich than i wouldn't do gambling because i have more interesting thing to do into my real, i never place a bet of a single penny on any gambling site after this because gambling is global problem and like a curse.

That is right. That is a good.thinking of a good rich man. Why do you have to gamble and spend time facing casino tables when you can do a lot more. Go travel, do sports, spend time with your family or even make yourself an even richer man. You can do all that and more. If entertainment you want, there are tons of entertaining things you can do which is healthier and better for you.

I see there is so many people trying hard to stop gambling their money because they've losing so much
If you not ready to lose your money, then don't even try to gamble!

Exactly !! Never risk what you can't afford to lose. No point in losing money you need to eat otherwise you will never stop till all is lost and if you though you were sad before having nothing is even worse.
The problem of others is they are gambling using the money that should be for their daily needs thats why some gamblers wreck their own life because of that.

Exactly. They are using the money that should be used for food or important things to.gamble. that is a bad habit and should be stopped immediately. If you use money  food to gamble and lost, you will be force.to bet again so you could win back the money lost. Unfortunately, that cycle will continue until you are broke and have nothing.
4476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: May 24, 2016, 02:26:02 PM
Bitcoin is a game changer. I don't know I didn't start using thus a while ago
Yes definitely bitcoin is going to create a new era in gambling world. Bitcoin will change the course of how people so for paying or get paid. Unfortunately, many people almost in all the countries, not fully aware of advantages of bitcoin payments. But, once it will happen, we can see many miracles happening around us.

And it all start on gambling. Who have thought that gambling will make a large effect on bitcoin and vice versa. Gambling will pave a way for bitcoin so that more people will acknowledge its existence and more people will recognize how easy it is to use as payment. Soon, other merchandizers will also use bitcoin.
4477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 24, 2016, 02:18:52 PM
Gambling is so addicting because its a way of earning money on a fast way and you want to try it till you will win something.
After you have won you want to do it again and again to earn money but this is of course not gonna happen it only will be enjoyable.

For people who thinks it's a way of earning fast money it will lead them to loosing big amount instead. If you treat it like this then you won't gonna get any profit at all, it will just make you chasing your losses. Greed is the most common causes on why many gamblers get addicted and loosing big amount money.
things we have to underline the gambling addiction is GREED. This is indeed a major problem that can cause our losses.

I find it right, being greedy is one of the reason why gambling is very addictive. Because you have the chance of winning high amount.
But the chance of losing also is high. And people who wants to get shortcut in riches will take the risk of gambling.

Yeah, greed usually gets the best of us. We see only profit from gambling but we fail to see that we can also lose a lot. If only we can see it clearly, then we will not be addicted to it. We will avoid it in the first place. The only winner in gambling is the house. And they nake gambling nore enticing so they can have more gamblers addicted to their games.
If you don't know when to stop then that is the problem, I have been to that situation many times before that I am already up big but due to my emotion that let me play and want to win more I end up losing everything.

That is greed at its finest. If you give in to greed even if you already have enough profit for the day, then you will eventually lose. It always good to check yourself against greed when you are gambling. Set a limit to win and loss, so when you reach it stop gambling. Discipline is a must if you don't want to lose too much or gain a profit.

I lost my bet on the game going over 207.5  Angry
So mad right now because they just wasted time at the end and could of easily made 4 more points.
Why Cav's trying to make 3 pointers when only down by 5 at one point in last minute of the game?
Just give it to Lebron 3 times and you would of won the game. Fools  Roll Eyes

Noticed that too, they could've guven to lebron then an aggressive play will surely grant them a freethrow as lebron will be fouled on his way to the basket. They relied on outside shooting too much. This is the playoffs, threes are inconsistent especially when defended so go back to old school textbook plays.
I know. It is the playoffs go for those textbook plays that will product points needed to tie it up at least don't go for 3 pointers thinking you are Jordan in the finals  Roll Eyes Cause you won't make them.  Tongue
I am still mad at them. Third time I bet on them and Raptor's win or go under on points.

It's the coach call to whether drive for two or shoot for three. It all depends on the execution of.the.players. but there is no point to dwell on that anymore. The game is over and they lost. But you can still get back tomorrow on okc vs gsw. Go over points and gsw. They will surely bounce back after a devastating lost on game 3.

You can earn a living with gambling but you have to win very often in order to do so. If you really want to make a living out of gambling you should play games that also require skill like poker and not just luck.

Skill cannot help you in poker if you really have a bad card. I personally think that it is wrong to make gambling as a source of income. It will be addicting and you can make wrong decision. If you want to gamble, just gamble but make limits. And don't rely on it as a source of income. If you win it's good. If you lose, accept it and come back again another day.

My plan is not to get rich with Bitcoin but just to make some extra money. Getting rich with Bitcoin is not possible at this moment because the price is not so high right now that you can become rich.

Getting rich isn't possible in bitcoin just because of it's price?

No you are wrong. What if you are holding lots of coins? There are people who have 1,000btc or more in possession. I considered them rich if they will convert it to fiat with the current price rate.

Mostly those people who have 1000 btc and more are the people who got into bitcoin early when no one is trusting bitcoin and the price is too low. Just what he is saying right now. So people who believe now can become rich too if they just persevere and continue to believe and earn and hold bitcoin.
