But the problem is that they end up almost always on the losing side. They never wanted to lose but simply going into gambling sites or entering a casino almost always guarantee a lose because of the house edge. This fact cannot be denied but gamblers always come back to it because they are addicted. And that has always been the problem. 

How can you lose girls chasing money? Chase money, earn a lot, be rich. Then girls will be chasing you. And you can be rich without selling your soul. You do not have to do illegal activities. Just earn money legally and all is good. I think it is way better than replacing gambling addiction with womanizing and cigarette smoking.

He is right. That manipulation hurt bitcoin a lot. Without the trust of this community, bitcoin could have died that day. But this halving can bring some good effects to bitcoin hopefully. We might not reach a new ATH right away but the price will definitely go up. And hopefully steady increase in few years to come.

Yeah, go for something that is actually productive. Be a work addict or trade addict and it will actually improve your life. You don't have to be stuck to gambling and be a loser when there are other activities that can give you the same high  but can improve your life.

I think you are just replacing gambling addiction with a equally disastrous habit. Cigarettes and girls can be as devastating as gambling. Better focus on colecting money. It is what they say, chase girls and you'll lose money. But you will never lose girls chasing money.

If the superpowers start nuking each other, then survival is not a question anymore. We will all be dead by then and bitcoin, even if it survives will be useless. In case of world war, survival is utmost importance, not money or digital currency. Water, food and medicine will be the most important things.

Why did these guys did not play? Did not watch the game, I am busy today. Is this another strategy of pop? Is he resting them for big fights or is he trying to deepen their bench? Anyway, as long as they win against gsw on their next match, i'm okay with it. Big money on their next match.

I think what he means is to gamble only what you can afford to lose. So that when you lose, you do not have the urge to recover it back and you can quit gambling. Otherwise, you'll just keep on betting and trying hard to recover your loss. This could be a start of gambling problems.

Good for you, stay away from gambling while you can because when you are hooked, there is no turning back. You are right, there a lot of things, hobbies that can be done to enjoy life or be entertained aside from gambling. You don't have to confine your enjoyment to gambling.

That is a good idea but not advisable. You can never really tell when a ponzi will run away with your money. They can still be new but if they have enough even if they are new, they will close down and your money is gone. It is still best to keep your distance to those ponzi sites. Better do your job and search for legitimate investments that will surely give you profit long term.

Even though, a stable job is too valuable to be exchange to something that is still unstable and very young. And why quit if you can do both. You only work for 8 hours, there is still plenty of time to do bitcoin even if you keep your day job. Why sacrifice one if you can keep them both.

There's the difference. If you are rich, you can afford to lose. You will still have money to sustain you even if you lose hundreds of thousands. In contrast, the poor does not have that luxury. If they lose, they may not eat for a day or two. You cannot rely on gambling as a source of income because you cannot rely on luck to feed you. This is a sickness that the poor should get away from .

Just minimize the risk and avoid risky trades to maximize profits. Even now, you can still profit from trading but minimal. If you do good in trading it can be a steady source of income and can be done to earn a living.

I think that is not a  plan but an illusion. You can keep on dreaming but that won't come true. Do you really think you can be rich that easy? There should be a lot of millionare gamblers if your way would work, but it's not.

Yeah, people thinks trading is just throwing your bitcoins into short or long and go for hail mary. They treat trading as gambling with 50/50 chance of winning. But if they just go into analysis and read chart or watch news, they can easily predict where the price of a certain commodities will go. And trading is not a gamble anymore because you have a clear insight and more probable to succeed than lose.

Same here. In my country, it is even greater than the minimum monthly pay. So that amount can already feed a family here. It is just sad that you can afford to lose that amount in gambling where others would survive with a fraction of that amount.

Yeah, especially if they do not control the amount they gamblE. They have the feeling that they are secure because they have a lot of money, but if they gamble a lot, that money will be gone. Even if you are rich, you still must have control over what you spent. If you lose more than you earn, there will be a time when you are back to nothing and you'll be sorry but it's too late.

I agree with this. Focusing on something that is important can get you away from gambling. This is a good strategy. Coupled with a little bit of discipline, I am sure you will be succesful in getting away from gambling.

How does quitting a job help in becoming rich? Is 50btc really enough to keep you going on bitcoin without any other job? I don't think I can do that. It will be very problematic if I fail on bitcoin. I will not have any backup plan if I follow that. Keeping a day job is good. This keeps you afloat if things with bitcoin did not do well.

That is a good way to bankrupt yourself. You are just rich but your money is not infinite. If you don't limit what you gamble, sooner or later your riches will runout. Rich or not, it is still best practice to limit your bet. You cannot never be too safe in gambling.
