There are already merchants accepting cryptocurrencies as an alternative payment to their products/services depending on your local wallet provided. In fact, this option enables and attracts more customers.
Although there may be merchants present, be wary that about the government's stand into cryptocurrencies. Some countries prohibit the usage of such and this may lead into problems.

I do hope that more businesses would accept cryptocurrency as an alternative option for easily accessibility and convenience in both the consumer and the producer.

The difference lies in the time-frame of realization of profits in bankrolls. Gambling can yield you significant amounts of money in a short-amount of time but the risk is proportional to the amount you gamble. That is the reason on why most gamblers prefer gambling than investing money. Furthermore, gambling requires a relative to no skill at all to participate whereas bankroll investing requires knowledge and experience in order to lower the risk of losing your investment.


Well that is the ideal situation but it would require you some degree of knowledge to participate. But in all honesty, I hope that people open their eyes in reality that gambling cannot be a profitable venture in the long-run especially if you view it as a way to answer your financial problems.

Volatility will remain in cryptocurrencies for as long as no government entity or third-party would ever control over its production, price, and supply in the market. Since cryptocurrencies have a limited supply in the market, its price would primarily determined by the law of demand and supply.

Compared to any conventional investment methods preset, almost all of them are governed by each entity. That is also the reason on why the returns on such investment is significantly lower compared to Bitcoin but with the expense of having collateral and security.

Very insightful! These tips would definitely help individuals suffering from addiction to winning. But you need to be reminded as well that everything starts from discipline and self-control. Without these essential factors, people may be more prone to betting their winnings and eventually losing them slowly. If I may add, I think it would also be beneficial if people would set a limit to their allowable bets per day and secure them on an external paper wallet.


Experiencing a winning-streak satisfies the mind completely, hindering your judgement and risking everything for money albeit dangerous if you do not have any self-discipline. Knowing your goals and setting a maximum allowable bet can solve this problem.

It may sound absurd but this advice is actually true. The market of cryptocurrencies is the most volatile investment compared to any other investment present today. Another thing is that no government entity governs the system of trading which makes its value volatile; perfect for short-term investments depending on your capital.

Just like any advice, study the market, consider internal and external factors, read materials to trading, etc. But experience is something that differentiates a newbie trader from a veteran trader. Make sure to maximize all reading materials before you start trading/investing.

I would like to specifically quote this sentence in your paragraph about not giving up. It is actually advisable to give-up in gambling especially when you are on a losing streak. Applying that kind of attitude which you just wrote, this would only cascade to financial problems and conflict. This would also give an opportunity to be addicted to the certain game if he has that mindset.

Like what you just experienced, gambling CAN be profitable if you know your limits and have self-discipline. The more you gamble your resources, the more chance that your money would be down the drain.

I know someone who is earning a relatively small income but he still managed to save and invest his money (which eventually led him to become successful in his career). The problem stems from the lack of knowledge when it comes to investing. There are little to few business/investing seminars in the country and most people  invest impulsively without researching.

If the person is determined enough to invest, gagawa at gagawa ng paraan yan kahit magkano man ang kanyang income.

Basing from my experience, I invested bitcoin sa USI-tech and it became a ponzi scam pala. Natuto na ako and mas naging careful ako whenever mag-iinvest ako ng pera. In fact, mas na-inspired pa akong mag invest after kong matalo dahil at least, alam ko na mga iiwasan at gagawin ko.

Short answer: No
Long answer: Yes

To be able to adapt bitcoin as our standard currency, countries from all over the world must adapt to this kind of change including countries among the developed, developing, and underdeveloped stage. Due to discrepancies among the financial status of each country, others do not have access to basic needs. If that were the case, access to this kind of technology seems far from materializing.

In the long run where each country slowly adapts to change, they would inevitably reform and change their payment structure to a digitalized form- which would make bitcoin possible as a standard currency. But for the time being, I do not see it from happening anytime soon.

The problem with these individuals is that they see gambling as a method of answering their financial problems, thus their last resort renders them to gamble all the resources that they have. Addiction, in general, clouds the judgement of people making them irrational on their decisions especially that they view their methods as acceptable. If someone has a problem with addiction, it is highly advisable to seek support from their family members for continuous guidance and understanding from them.


The funny thing is, if you gamble for 13 hours straight, chances are you're only losing what you're winning. Gambling should be controlled and disciplined especially if you are on a win-streak. The more you gamble, the less chance you win from the actual games itself.

Bitcoin has no INTRINSIC value since its nature primarily exist on the internet. Unlike the conventional money which is made from precious materials, paper, and gold, bitcoin is a DIGITALIZED currency that cannot be physically traded. But its value in the market is higher compared to all conventional investment schemes due to its potential from revolutionizing the payment system.


Its market value and intrinsic value are both different since bitcoin does not have any physical form. Regardless, the market value is significantly high compared to any cryptocurrencies, which may be due to market volume and trade. From these facts alone, bitcoin will continue to be valuable in the years to come until another cryptocurrency replaces its spot.

Every casino is built upon such environment that you are inclined to stay as much time as possible. It is actually simple: the longer you stay in a casino, the better chances that you would be entice in gambling or spending in their establishment. Remember that casinos are categorized as a business.


Basing it from my experience, the longer that you stay in a casino watching other people gamble, the higher the chances that your curiosity would succumb to doing the actual thing. The more you spend means good business to the casino owners! If you do not plan on gambling after all, make sure to bring only enough cash and leave your card.

Just to be blunt, everything will disappear in time, not just cryptocurrencies. Regardless if bitcoin will survive or not, what matters is the technology that powers bitcoin- which is the blockchain technology. If he were to be true, another cryptocurrency would surely dominate and reign on the market in terms of price, which would be the next bitcoin in the market. The endless cycle continues as this would be the future outcome of the market once this event happens.


Well if that were to be the case, better maximize the potential of bitcoin as a short-term investing program due to its high-volatility. Although he may be experienced in this line of work, no one still knows what would be the outcome of the market.

Why not a general hospital, why does it have to be a hospital that treats specifically 'bitcoin gambling addicts'? Addiction, in general, can be classified into different categories and variations but all stem from one root- which is addiction. I doubt that there will be a hospital catering to this special kind of addiction.

If you know someone suffering from addiction, regardless of their nature, help/support them by leading them to the right path or by sending them to rehabilitation.


Regardless of the nature of their addiction, it all stems from the same root. I do not see why there is such a need for a creation of a hospital specifically for 'bitcoin gambling addicts' as they fall on the same category as 'addicts' in general.

Most people that I know use 'odds' as their main betting website for NBA and the release of this new website will surely eliminate the need to rely on that party. If NBA were to implement this kind of feature, most people would be attracted but this slightly renders them that they are indeed, comfortable in betting.

I am actually looking forward with this betting application since this would definitely affect the gambling industry and the sports betting industry as whole, not just the NBA.


Businesses need to evolve and adapt to change. Betting using cryptocurrency is the new age of betting and people would slowly migrate to this kind of change in the near future. Like you mentioned, no one is late in the business and it's better to start late than to never start at all.

One thing that bitcoin taught me over the years is that any substantial growth also has an impeding and inevitable decrease some time in the future. People should maximize this opportunity while the its price is steadily increasing but always expect its price to stabilize. Maximize this opportunity by categorizing your investments for both short and long-term goals depending on your budget.


Reaching $10,000 would definitely happen but always expect its price to stabilize and slightly decrease during the process. It is still highly advisable to divide your investments and purchase bitcoins not on their peak price but on when it stabilized on the market.

Actually, multi-factorial since madami ka pwede munang i-consider before making a non-collateral loan. Firstly, check the post history of the person if he/she is active on the forum. Also, tignan niyo din kung sakaling kasali siya sa isang signature campaign since baka dito niya kunin yung ipang-loan niyang pera. In addition, tignan din yung trust-rating nito.

Kung balak mo naman mag-lend sa isang non-collateral loan, make sure yung amount na iririsk niyo ay relatively hindi ganung kalake JUST IN CASE may mangyari mang pang-scam.

Gambling, in general, may give you the adrenaline rush that one is looking and expecting. It renders you this thrilling feeling of uncertainty with cash as primary tool at stake. In addition, you also have the opportunity to receive huge amounts of winnings proportional to your bet/s. Lastly, people also gamble due to the perspective of seeing this as a way to answer their financial problems- which is the wrong way of settling your finances.

As for me, I bet due to curiosity (like what you mentioned). Since I do not fully grasp this respective field and I want to know more on the side of the gamblers, I primarily bet to satisfy this need for curiosity and answers.

First of all, do not view investing as a game since this involves risking huge amounts of cash in the process. Rather than viewing it as a game, view it as something that would give you an opportunity to earn cash in a short amount of time.


In looking for a good exchange, you should consider security, reputation, years of existence, and feedback from the users in the internet. Do your research before searching an exchange to buy BTC from.


It is highly advisable that you diversify your investments by investing not only to cryptocurrencies but to other investment platforms available in the market. Another thing, only invest the amount that you are willing to risk and lose. Investing in bitcoin is considered a 'high-risk, high-reward' type of investment.


I mainly HODL my coins and purchase some BTCs depending on the historical data of its price. Also, I gather information in the market by doing market research and reading current events that may affect the trend of its price.



One thing that you should know is that investing in cryptocurrency is never too late. You should do your obligation by researching and knowing the background of bitcoin before impulsively investing and jumping in the bandwagon.


There is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer. Good luck! :-)

Well anything could happen as no one can ACCURATELY predict what will be bitcoin's price in the following years to come. History of its price may show an upward scale since this year's third quarter showed signs that its price may surge. But purely basing it on historical data may give inaccurate conclusion as external factors (such as: massive bitcoin ban, prohibitions, unexpected market scams, etc.) should be also considered.

It is still highly advisable to at least HODL the bitcoins you are willing to risk and lose.

Well to be honest, every boxer wants the opportunity to fight one of the legendary boxers of all time. This is due to the fact that battling Manny Pacquiao can jump-start your career, provide you fame, huge amounts of cash, the glory, and the pride. But as a Filipino, I will support Manny Pacquiao in all of his fights, regardless of his current task.


Bob Arum mentioned that he fears Manny Pacquiao might suffer brain damage if he continues to fight at his current age- which is rare for a boxer to continue this kind of dangerous sport. The long-term damage might manifest later on his life especially that he represents as a Senator in the Philippines. Regardless of what people view him, either as an underdog or as a main competitor, our support will remain the same!
