if you have a lot of money to invest with go with all these three investment, if you have very little to invest like $1K, then just stick with XRP. you'd have more coins with it and can experimentally try to trade to profit while you try to make your money grow. you might have the chance to multiply the amount of XRP you have by doing it.

I would still go for Ethereum even though I just have $1,000, because the fluctuation of Ethereum is bigger than the fluctuation of ripple, so the profits that you could make when you are going to invest your money in ethereum is much bigger than if you are goin to invest your money on ripple, it is just a simple math, it is not about the quantity, it is about the quality.

of course, because the gamble I make just a hobby and not as a job. because if it makes the job has a big enough risk. so it should be smart to limit the gamble better for our money

That is a good thing for you, because every people who plays gambling and not even setting any limits on playing gambling suffers the most, I mean they lost too much money on the house every time they play gambling. Setting limits is like walking away to the danger of losing your money, it means minimizing the possibilities of getting too attach to gambling to avoid addiction.
4943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: April 24, 2018, 12:44:34 AM
I always feel satisfied when winning in gambling, by having that feeling I feel a bit of pride from myself. A little sad but I think almost all gamblers have the same feelings like me, then how about you? Do you want to share your story for us discussing in here.

Of course we're all happy when we win in gambling. Sometimes even you lose you still happy because you enjoyed the gambling and even you lose or win as long as it satisfies you. But now many gambler do gambling for them to earn money fast .

Yeah right? Everyone of us would be so happy if we are going to win in gambling because that is a very rare thing to happen, gambling is about losing every time you make a bet. Maybe there are people that won't be happy because money is not a problem for them, and having more money is just natural for them.
4944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: April 23, 2018, 02:01:32 PM
If I lived near by, I could walk home and take a leap of faith to gamble once more and I'll do my very best not to be pressured so I could win the game. But if I lived like a bus or taxi ride home, maybe I could call a friend or someone to pick me up so I could continue my game. BUT if I'm in another country gambling, I wouldn't want to risk that because I might not be able to get back home to my country.

Being pressured or not in the game doesn't change anything at all, the chances of you losing the game depends on the house, so if you are thinking like that, then be prepared to lose again. Losing one time big time is enough for us to quit gambling, and if I were you, I would discourage myself to keep on trying because there is no point on doing that, just try something else safe.
4945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do we need to gamble? on: April 23, 2018, 12:57:01 PM
Gambling is another form of entertainment. It is just basically a game where there is a winner and we all love playing games. But it's a game that there's money involved. Not just risking your money but could also be everything that you have.

The term "need" is not appropriate on that, I think the right question would be "Why we are playing gambling?" Eevn though some of us are being enterrained whenever they are playing gambling, they still need to think what is it going to happen to them in the long run, I mean losing in gambling is no joke, we are talking about money here, and earning money is not a joke just to risk in gambling.
4946  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest now or wait? on: April 22, 2018, 02:58:40 PM

I missed the dip the other day and am wondering if I should hold out for another dip or if the current prices are still decent. Mainly looking at litecoin and etherum. I also need coins regardless so I can exchange for other altcoins.

today, the crypto coin price is low, I think it is the right to invest.

Investing right now is still a good choice because the prices of the altcoins are starting to grow already, the red market is becoming a green market again and I hope it will continue until they come back to their original prices again or will going to have another All Time High. It is still a sure profit if you are going to buy some altcoins because surely the following months will be a good ones.
4947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: April 22, 2018, 12:58:14 PM
What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?

All out you say? I don't think it's a wise decision especially if it will be done in gambling. I have tried it once though and had regretted after. Never have done such thing again. Learn from your experience as they say, I've learned mine.
Getting to that stage where all you have left is even your last card is a critical one and anyone who is considering to go that lane of using that last one to bet or gamble with should be considered an addict straight up as there is no two ways about it. This is how people gradually tend towards addiction.

If you have lose, accept your fate, since you will be losing most of the time in gambling anyway and with that, you can just move on and go do something else with your life, but playing with the little you have left for a good reason unless you want to walk home is really an absurd thing to do.

But in such situations, most people will think, what if with this little money I can recover my previous losses or even make a profit? TBH, under those conditions, it would be very difficult to make a wise decision because the mind is full of remorse. Gamblers will use anything, even with the smallest chance, to get their money back.


Sadly, that is how most gamblers gamble these days.

There are a lot of gamblers that usually go all in in their gambling activities and it is sometimes so frustrating to watch especially the desperate ones. People usually tend to gamble all their money in a certain activity and then regret that they had done it and adding another problem. This is the reason why most of the gamblers are usually getting not getting on the middle but they are always on the top and on the bottom.

True to that. A gambler is a gambler. There will always be that urge to bet everything they have. They will try to pin it on luck and when they taste that gambling earning they will go for more, not knowing that they are being drawn to it and not realizing they are being addicted to it. They have these insane cravings to win even if they mostly are losing.

Honestly, it is a very hard decision if you are going to continue after you lost a big amount of money in gambling, your mind is saying that you should continue but your heart is saying that you must stop before it is too late. But most of the time, the urge of continuing playing gambling overcomes us, because since our motive on playing gambling is to win, so we are still playing gambling even though we are losing.
4948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling: The Seven Deadly Sins on: April 22, 2018, 12:25:49 PM
The seven deadly sins are based on: Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, and Sloth.

It has come to my intention that gambling is related to the SDS. Not all of them, but I believe Pride, Greed, Wrath, Sloth are what makes of a gambler.

Pride: The will of not losing. The gambler always strives not to lose as he always wants to win not matter the cost. He would throw his life, fortune, even his beloved ones for the sake of money. ( I am talking about a very addictive gambler.)

Greed: A gambler always wants to gain money even if he is already rich. Why buy two houses if you can buy one? Why do you need more much money when you already are living a good life?

Wrath: A gambler will not be able to control his emotions when he loses which will be the result of releasing his anger on people around him or even hurt himself.

Sloth: A gambler wants easy money, easy life, easy things. He does not make efforts to gain money. That is why he resorts to gambling because he can get two birds with one stone; money and fun.

The mentioned above are within the human nature. It is a challenge for yourself whether you are able to control them or let them take over yourself. It is up to you to decide.

I bet that you got this idea on the Anime "The Seven Deadly Sins" which is really connected in gambling. What you have said was true, this seven behavior of all of us is so hard to manage whenever we trigger it. Mostly when we are playin gambling, all of this sins are provoking us to gamble even more, to believe that we could win in gambling if we are going to continue, thought the truth is not.
4949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: April 17, 2018, 12:43:58 AM
I'm not a gambler addict and I just did try playing hi-lo betting sites but I already felt all those consequences and it's really the worst feeling when you lost. I tried to recover my losses but I still lost. That feeling stayed in me for 2 weeks. It's really makes me very weak.
Yes it was like a memories that hard to forget. Losing was the gratest consequence of gambling and the only thing that you will do after that was to regret. As ling as you lose you try it more because you want to get back all your lose money but didnt notice that you are releasing all your money just to recover a small amount where you have started.


Even though it is hard to forget, you have to overcome it for your own good, because if you are not going to quit gambling and still choose to continue playing it without a clear mind, then the consequences that you are going to face will be hard ones, there is going to be a point where you are going to be starring in the nothingness, and you might become crazy in the worst case scenario.
4950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effects of Gambling on: April 16, 2018, 02:13:42 PM
As we are tackling, there are people who are finding their happiness through gambling and we are out of it if they are gambling emotionally or not. As long we have warned on what they should do, we're fine. We're all grown up and we know what's right and wrong.
Well that's true if that's the only thing that they are doing and makes themselves happy. I agree that as long as they know what they're doing and they have been warned it's their choice to either gamble all their money or just have the patience and risking to a strategy that you believe.

I respect your opinions guys about gambling, but don't you think that it is not a good source of hapiness? I mean you are going to be happy but in exchange you are going to lose your money, it is not happy at all. It would be better if you are going to be fully happy onto something, for example is pursuing your passion, that way you are safe on losing money and you could have make money instead to that.
4951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: April 16, 2018, 01:31:26 PM
It's not going to be easy even the addicted gambler wants to. He should have a support system like parents or family that will make him stronger mentally and emotionally so that he can fight the urge of gambling and finally end that worst chapter of his life.
Only week people need the support of other people. If you really have a strong personality including a strong willpower and determination with the will to no giving up easily, then you surely will get out of addiction. It is not wrong to get help from others, but why do you need to get one if you can solve it on your own? You have a brain, you have a free will. You can use it and change yourself like you change others with words.

No it's not a sign of a weak person, I'm sure with the lord and support of a close person, we can stop gambling quickly. Humans are social beings, we live together and need help from others. If anyone can ask for help, why not?
First of all, the God almighty is the one who can let or allow the person to leave the gambling because he is the creator and he knows everything. But you said after God with the help of your closer one, you can leave gambling. I want to say here that closer person couldn’t prove much more effective than a good psychiatrist because he is the person who knows on the earth how to cure this disease rather than a closer one.
Find a close friend to be asked for help is a close friend who does not gamble. He must be the one who prevents you from gambling when you want to. Psychiatrists would be more helpful, but I think it's just the last option, so before you go to a psychiatrist, maybe your best friend can help you.


Yes, one thing we have to remember before we are doing anything because we should not addict to anything in this world, this may kill you. I have experienced through many of friends who addicted to gambling, alcohol, cheating etc. All these things will kill the human being for addicting to those.

Indeed that is true, all of the addictions here in this world including gambling is not good for us(emotionally and physically). We might get hurt by this because we didn't pay the person we have debts, and we might get crazy thinking about the money that we have lost in gambling and how we are going to pay our debts if the money that we have borrowed was already gone.

This is not the end of bitcoin because bitcoin increasing always and the value is getting high.

Other's might think that it is the end but it is not, this is what you called fluctuation because of the different issuest that bitcoin is facing this days. Bitcoin is not going to end yet, but it sure does have an ending, everything in this world have that. Maybe it will take 100 years or even more before bitcoin die I guess.
4953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin is life. on: April 15, 2018, 12:54:42 PM
hi guys good morning ,  way back on 2016 i dont' know what is bitcoin , i don't know that there is such thing virtual money like this and for the past years since bitcoin created , I didn't know that it's running  for 10 years untill now , I read bitcoin   on "DEEPWEB" , at first i didn't believe it but i do a lot of research after I read it and  its really real , I'm so curios how this things work and if I can change my life with this bitcoin stuff. I put a risk on my 100$ money  , and i can't believe in my own eyes that this is crazy and you can earn money without doing anything. and now , im earning using bitcoin. it change my life a little bit, with bitcoin I can feel the freedom.HAAHAHAHA

Bitcoin is actually improving the lives of different people, cryptocurrency today is very famous because there are a lot of successful ico's who are still running the market and because of that, cryptocurrency is slowly being accepted in the community by different governments.
Yes, bitcoin is life we're we can buy something good for our health. Definitely, it can gave brighter future. Many unemployed people are involve on bitcoin because of the capabilities to earn extra income for daily expenses. And it can help sustain our life better.

I agree, bitcoin is helping us mostly financially and that is a big help to prevent poverty. If the Government would just accept bitcoin and stop this FUDs all around the world then I assume that the society that we are living will change slowly into a better one. It is just annoying that many people are thinking that bitcoin is just a scam just because of thos scammers who are using bitcoin's name to scam other people.
4954  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Money on: April 15, 2018, 12:04:57 PM
Unfortunately, a very large number of projects have minimal prospects. Usually if you do not sell coins after they get on the exchange, then after a while these coins do not cost anything.

It depends on the developer and on the entire team of that certain coin, if the project is good then there is nothing to worry about holding it in the long run, because mostly the tokens or coins after being distributed or listed on the market are already on dump state so selling means losing some of your profits if you are going to wait for the ICO price to pump.
4955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price recovering slowly on: April 14, 2018, 03:43:35 AM
I would not say that it recovering slowly. Over 100$ in only a week is not slow at all. Its really nice to see that it is growing again .  Smiley

For me it is true that it is recovering slowly, because the last time it's huge fluctuation was 0.09 BTC from 0.06 BTC. I don't know if the rumors is going to be true that ETH is going to be $5000 in price this year, well if that is the case then it is a huge profits to all of the Ethereum holders, lucky for those who have ethereum. So, we still have to wait for the good part.
4956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: April 10, 2018, 01:16:43 AM
I think trading is better because you have your own choice of what can you do its your decisions and there is no luck only knowledge, but gambling is everything about luck, you dont know whats comming

of course trading is better than gambling, trading is need an experience and analisys
but trading can be like gambling if we do it without an analisys, we do that the same like gambling.
Yes, but then its a gambling without knowledge trading is useless it is much riskier than gambling if you will do that way. Gambling needs skills not only luck or whatsoever. We can never compare gambling into trading and only those who knows how to play or trade can understand the big difference between.

I could not agree more! if you just trade randomly and without any clear pre-planned trading strategies and research, you are more like gambling than trading and usually it will end up losing your trades.

I agree, Trading is more safer than gambling unless you are going to treat it like gambling. Trading is demanding when it comes to time and effort because you are always going to check the prices of the tokens that you are holding, while gambling is all about betting whenever you like.
4957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The way to win in gambling on: April 09, 2018, 05:17:35 PM
Ironically I don't believe skills can make you win in gambling because if you're meant for it then you don't need any of these. Gambling is just all about luck because if an individual can learn these what they called skills and strategy then he must be damn rich now but apparently these can't make you win.


Me too, winning in gambling is all about luck and that is all. You can't use skills on gambling just to win because most of the stuff in gambling is all random, for example is when you are playing DICE. The only way to win in gambling is that you have to be a lucky guy, which is a hard one because you are against the house which is not easily do defeat in the first place.
4958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: April 09, 2018, 04:01:39 PM
It is the case all the time that a gambler is wasting his money as well as his precious time. Gambling cannot be played without money and as it is an activity which if done would consume time. So basically, a person is at loss ultimately.
The chances of winning big amount or even a tiny one is 50% theoretically but in reality, mostly gamblers lose their wealth. Luck goes good hardly.

It is the case all the time that a gambler is wasting his money as well as his precious time.
not all times . some gamblers also win , so therfor they dont loose or waste any of their precious time. some gamblers do also play just for fun or only to past the time and they would really care if they won or lose , therfore they dont also waste their time when they do it.

Quote
Gambling cannot be played without money
of course it can. gambling can still be played without real money involved. you can just play gambling just for fun with your friends in order to past the time. me and my friends do always play card based gambling but without a real money involved.

Well not necessarily money, but gambling isn't gambling without something on the line. A bet perhaps or a consequence, or in more serious terms, we have people gambling with their properties and belongings. Of course all these can be taken away in a single roll. That's consequence enough for any gambler

The only term for the consequences that you are going to face when you are playing gambling is the world "lose", you are going to lose your money, your properties because you sell it in order to have money for you to continue playing gambling. All of the things that you could experience on gambling if you are not the lucky person is that you are going to lose anything.
4959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: April 09, 2018, 03:05:47 PM

Yeah, but quitting is the only way to have a better future and to save money. There is no reason for anyone to continue to play gambling if he is losing most of the time, he must be smart and considering all the things before he decides what to do next in gambling. I've witnessed myself losing a lot of money in gambling, and continuing is so confusing to do that is why I've decided to quit gambling instead and try another way to earn money.
4960  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the most common uses of Bitcoin? on: April 08, 2018, 02:50:42 PM
Basicaly the common use of Bitcoin is you can buy and sell thru online and you can also earn money from it.

Yeah, that is the most common uses of bitcoin, it is like also a fiat that we use on buying the things that we need and want, the only difference between the two is thwt fiat is already legalize and bitcoin is not yet legalize on some countries, and also, not all of the things that we wanted to buy can't be buy by bitcoin.
