Most are poor because if we look at the millions of gamblers betting in a lottery, most of them are poor who are hoping to win a big amount of money to change their lives, they gamble even if they know that their chance is very low.

Well sounds like legit as Lottery is the largest gambling place people are betting ,but let’s consider that lottery isn’t not the only place where people gamble


Yes of course, but it's a great barometer to determine that most gamblers are poor, though they are just risking a small amount compared to gamblers who bet in live casinos, dice games, or sports betting. What makes gambling operators more profitable is the volume of poor people who are gambling as big portion of poor gamblers are irresponsible gamblers as well IMO.

Yes, gambling is very interesting, and we manage to have a good time, adrenaline is always on. Enough people play to have fun, not interested in whether they will get it or not, they simply enjoy it. Most importantly have a good time, because that is why we give money.
As much as possible, we don't want to give our money, our main purpose in gambling is to have fun and win at the same time, but as we matured, we understand that it's not possible most of the time. Gambling is just for fun should be the mentality that we should always keep in mind to ensure that we will not gamble what we can afford to lose, if we are having fun, we are always willing to accept loses and and understand that the house or the gambling sites always have the advantage over their players.

Our matured way of thinking will help us appreciate gambling even for long term even if we have to lose just to have fun.

The market is quite so big, there might be a competition for both exchanges but in the long run, it's the entire market that will benefit.
With more exchanges offering an IEO, this will help fast track the number of coins created in the market and since it's coming from exchanges like coinbase and Binance, we can expect that these are legit coins that has a great potential in the future.

What the Fuel Masters really missed is the service of Calvin Abueva, wonder where he is now.

That's definitely correct, he is the energizer of the team, without him, this team's chance to win in the playoffs will be low.
There's no new fresh news about him, the latest news is a bad news that could affect his possibility of return to the team.

https://www.rappler.com/previous-articles?filterMeta=calvin%20abueva
he is a real beast as he even beat his wife, this is not a good example of a PBA player, so I doubt he could return soon.
I don't his life after NBA, probably he is just destroying his life and wasted the opportunity given to him.
5226  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Institutions secretly HODL Bitcoin? on: September 16, 2019, 11:58:20 PM
I believe they would HODL bitcoin, it is the “internet of money” and they are just waiting for more adoption. Even Watford FC is planning to accept it as a means of payment for its merchandise.
For sure but silently holding because if they will announce, it would create a big hype in the market and bitcoin might again pump which is bad for long term. These big institution are accumulating at the best time, so if Bitcoin is slowly growing or will dump, that's the time they will continue to buy and for at least a year already, bitcoin gives us an opportunity to accumulate since it's very cheap that period especially last year and early this year.

When they hold, they will hold it for long term, and this will bring positive effect to the market as the circulation will be lowered while it's inevitable that the demand will continue to increase, with that, we can expect a surge of price in the long run. So, if we haven't invested yet, we should think twice that we are missing an opportunity now.
5227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why haven't governments illegalized bitcoin transactions? on: September 16, 2019, 11:42:40 PM
The banks like JP Morgan are getting in on their version of crypto, and so are companies like Facebook, Telegram, and alike. They will secure faster transactions, although they will remain centralized. It could be that the governments are simply hoping that new users will just go for those centralized versions of crypto, and that Bitcoin and real cryptocurrencies will just end up forgotten.
Government could want that but they cannot force the people, some believe that the centralized format is corrupt, and bitcoin being decentralized offers transparency to people and that is why we are investing and holding on it.

Bitcoin could not be fast now, but the growing number of users of LN is a good sign that sooner people will eventually adopt.
There are a lot of things we can improve with bitcoin, and not only bitcoin because we also have great altcoins in the market, and therefore we should protect this decentralization against centralization.

I don't know if asking questions about if a site is scam or not belongs here, I believe that once you created a thread in this board, you are suppose to accuse someone for scamming and putting the necessary evidence is necessary. (please correct me if Im wrong).

To OP, you've already have your answers the above posters showed a lot of proof, so it's up to you to evaluate them for yourself.
5229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Important question to Investors!! on: September 13, 2019, 11:20:53 PM
I'm not in that part, considering that many cases of project fraud make me hesitate to invest in it, I prefer to invest in top altcoin like eth / bnb / eos to minimize losses. maybe in the next year or if the market situation is really stable and the project has hopes I will certainly try to take part in it. for now no
Well, I can say those are great projects, they have already give profit to investors especially in the past, these major altcoins also have good liquidity so they won't go away. For me, I have to learn how to divide my investment from long term to short term, and high risk to low risk, that way, I will be able to manage it properly as sometimes those high risk investment could also give us a life changing profit.

Like the famous words I heard most of the time, let's not play safe all the time, and investing in a high risk coin is a good example of not playing safe.
5230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull run 2019-2020 on: September 13, 2019, 11:01:08 PM
Hi guys,
The bitcoin block reward halving is next year in may.
Do you think this would lead us to a new bull run these year?
What are you're thoughts

Yes, I guess the bull run will still happen this year 2019. I am still a strong believer that before the halving, the "All Time High" will still be reachable.

Halving will be next year, therefore we still have a lot of time to achieve a new ATH, it could be this year but it has to be in the last quarter which is least likely to happen. We still have 244 days from now (https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/), so let's just enjoy the recovery of bitcoin now, and don't expect too much as the right time will just come.

My black horse Australia has been defeated. I just thought they would win that match against Spain before that overtime. It was just Mills free throw that coat them the game. Anyways, Spain is now the favorite to win the championship against Argentina. Can the Argentinians have a higher chance of making an upset with this powerhouse team of Spain?

According to the announcer in the game between Argentina and France, this Argentina team is like the cinderalla story, therefore I would go with them, they could win another championship after a long time, they are last champion in this tournament last 1950 and I think this is the first start of the tournament.

I voted for "They lost money."..

I have been telling them about BTC before 2017 because I saw and I believe on the potential, but they didn't believe me, they only believe when BTC was already pumping during 2017 which was the time where the bull run happens, they bought at that time, finally they listen, but the sad thing is that they loss their money because they invested at the wrong timing.

Its suppose to be buy the dip, sell in the peak, they did the opposite, and they sold because they panic, good thing they didn't blame me at all.
5233  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why haven't governments illegalized bitcoin transactions? on: September 13, 2019, 07:37:04 AM
For a simple reason, they can't go against the people who put them in the position.

The government has to be concern for the majority of people, bitcoin is not harmful to people, it's just a payment system but it's valuable, in fact the government can also benefit this while it helps is people, so banning it proves that the government that are governing our country are incompetent.
5234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why transactions take so much time? on: September 12, 2019, 10:28:50 PM
Different blockchains - different transaction speeds. If you are not happy with the speed of the blockchain that you use, exchange it for another one,
thank God everyone on any major exchange can exchange one cryptocurrency for another without much difficulty.

That's the benefit we can enjoy where there's a lot of exchanges in the market, they will provide liquidity to ensure we can trade anytime we want.
What's important only is that people will begin accepting not only bitcoin but altcions as well, based on my experience, I am more satisfied using DOGE coin for my transaction as its faster and way cheaper compared to other coins I use.

Though we cannot deny that BTC is the most popular now, but because of its demand the value increases hence fees follows, therefore it's not advisable to use for small transactions only as the fee is not worth it.

I lose my live bet in the US vs Serbia match, I put a like bet at US ML during the break because I thought they will be able to continue their momentum in the 2nd half, but I was wrong, they are still the same weak team I saw when they played against France, bad bet. Embarrassed
5236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin get banned worldwide? on: September 12, 2019, 09:25:53 AM
I think it will not be banned, even many countries have made Bitcoin legal, even now Bitcoin is much in demand in the technology era now, many investors and big companies have made bitcoin as a currency in the digital world As a necessity in online business. And there are some countries that already have physical coin Bitcoin.
Big companies just follow the demand of the people, they are seeing that bitcoin has a great potential to be a payment system, therefore they are adopting on it to get the market of the people who are bitcoin enthusiast, sooner or later, the adoption will grow and since they adopted early, they will also reap the benefits in the long run.

Like us ordinary people, we are investing because of the limited supply of bitcoin and we saw its potential, so based on supply and demand, its expected that BTC's value will rise as the demand increases.
5237  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: exchange crypto no id on: September 12, 2019, 06:43:43 AM
First, you can consider using some dex exchanges, but don’t expect to trade in a fast and smooth way there,
I was not aware that we can trade Dash in a decentralized exchange, so I check in the internet and I found this article.

The decentralized exchange bisq now accepts DASH as a main currency to trade
However, it's so disappointing that the exchange mentioned only have 84,598 USD trading volume, OP needs more due to the big number of DASH he is holding.

I think it was a good idea to make investments in crypto projects on early stages in 2017, but today it is quite risky. If you want to participate in fundraising, you'd better participate in IEOs.
We cannot deny that as there maybe no new successful ICO in the market now, most of the success are coming from IEO market.
Even the coins that were created in 2017 through ICO are still struggling now and even if they are already trading in good exchange with great liquidity.

We should study the market carefully now, we only invest in IEO that are also in good exchange as some IEO in smaller exchange might not be profitable.
The best method to employ is always go with the flow or the trend.

he even himself said he wanted to go to warriors and then come back to Oklahoma if people didn't treated him this badly but OKC fans lost Durant the moment they booed him like an enemy.

Well Durant is weak, he can't feel that way if he likes to come back as its normal for that fans to feel that way.
Lebron the best play of the Cavaliers and he started his career in the team but decided to leave to Miami Heat to achieved a championship, you know what the fans, did? They burn his jersey and that is worst than what the fans did to Durant.

But hey,,, what happen, he came back and the fans accepted him, he gave them a championship, now lebron gain a lot of respect even if he again transferred to another team. This prove that fans reaction are just temporary....

As we know that Gambling is prohibited in certain religions including Islam. If anyone does it, the earned money is not legal and is considered Sin.

But what if someone is promoting a gambling site on social media etc, will the money earned from it be legal provided he will never directly gamble ?
Promoting gambling is also a sin why not follow to your religion command is also as in, so is better to leave if you gambling is sin from your religion. Why it because how you can promote gambling if the promoter not playing gamble.

Sometimes people are just justifying their wrong doing when actually it's easy to understand the law or the teaching of the religion.
When it says gambling is against the teaching, anything that can be earned related to gambling, directly or indirectly is always against the teaching.

In the end, this depends on how a follower would absorb the teaching, if they widen their mind and accept it fully, they will never associate themselves in any gambling activity.
