5581  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Triggers Gambling Addiction on: January 02, 2019, 10:17:44 AM
From my personal experience, I feel more addicted to gambling when I keep losing my bets.

Were on the same boat mate as that what also triggers my addiction  .  when i loose i feel angry and i bet again higher than the previous one but when i won  sometimes i dont feel contented and that can result for me to do continue playing  .   there were also times that i get addicted playing because i enjoy the game and i dont mind if i won or loose because what important for me is the enterntainment  . 

So that it   .  my addiction is depends on the game and on my mood   
5582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you find Success in Gambling? on: January 02, 2019, 08:59:24 AM

whenever i hear the word success the first two words that autmatically comes to my mind is long term and consistency . gambling cant just fall in this category because if you consistently play gambling for a longer time , i bet you will experience more losses because we all know that gambling is verry hard to beat  .   

but nothing is wrong if you play gambling just for fun and if you dont mind your losses because happiness is more important than money anyway  . 

success also differs from person to person  .  some find success on enjoying  ,  some find success in working  ,  etc ...
5583  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I wonder - are there ppl here who bought BTC when it was 19k ? on: January 02, 2019, 06:50:12 AM
From my side looking to this, Bitcoin can easy reach more than 19k, and yea there was people who was buying the BTC at price of 19k. Bealive me!
How can you know that bitcoin is able to reach more than $19,000 USD easily? The values of bitcoin have already dropped so much in just one year time and it is not even above $4,000 USD per bitcoin at the moment, I think a lot of investors are still waiting for the official approval of a Bitcoin ETF from the SEC department, so it might be a long wait before we see a return of the bull market.

i hear alot of rumors about sec/etf that they will accept bitcoin from this year ( 2019 )  but as i said earlier it was only a mere rumor   .   we dont exactly know the dates if when will it happen but one thing for sure , the price can possibly sky rocket easily from 19k usd .   about the question if there are still people that buys btc at ath of course yes .  many people keeps on buying btc no matter what it is its value because in thier head ,  btc can always increase from time to time   . 
5584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much did you make from gambling in 2018! on: January 02, 2019, 04:57:03 AM
I don't remember how much I made from the gambling but I lost more that I won so in the long run the chances of making money from gambling is highly not possible.
Same thing with me though I think I only lose small money since I don’t gamble everyday. Long term gambling is really not good, it will just make your money lose so better not to make serious on gambling. If you won in gambling, save some money and don’t go back to casinos because you will just lose that money.

if your are lucky enough why would you limit yourself ?  playing long term is also not about profit because i knew a player that plays gambling for over a decade now and he said he only play because he wants to past the time  .

 anyway  my own winnings this year are only less than 0.1 btc because im not really that active anymore when compared to before  .  market situation is also another factor on why my profits are affected  compared to previous years of playing online gambling   .
5585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler was being robbed on: January 02, 2019, 03:01:16 AM
Recently, a Korean National has been robbed here in my place while riding the Taxi going home and lose the money that he won in the casinos, Its around 4Million Pesos or $75,000. This is not new in gambling industry since many incidents like this before. Do you ever think its a real accident or its just an inside job where the employees of casinos are involve or the casino itself?

This is a once in a lifetime opportunities to become a millionaire, and yet it is being taken easily by a more greedy people. Now I’m wondering if its still safe to go to casinos or better to play online? What’s your thought about this?

Here’s the link for your reference (it’s not translated in english but I’ve already share the summary of this news):
https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/balitambayan/balita/679284/koreanong-nanalo-ng-p4m-sa-casino-hinoldap-sa-pasay/story/
Most likely it was an insider or someone employed by the casino to rob him, but there were other possibilities such as the people who were there when he won a big victory by watching the game. That's why online gambling is now more popular because there are many security reasons there.

I doubt that it's a inside job, no cell phones is allowed if employees are in the floor so there's no way that they if they connived with a gang or something, to communicate and identify the target. It was one of the gang's member who saw the man winning, and he works with the outside member once the man went out.

other casinos on our country is not strict and i saw that employees can use self phones . it might be an inside job and it can also be an outside job . securities inside the casino cant also guarantee the players safety because what if the crime will happen outside  ?  but atleast installing some cctv's can be a good help . its also a good idea if we can bring some friends whenever we play gambling outside our house because you cant easily harmed if you arent alone  .

the best possible option to is to just play online gambling , so that no can beat you or threat you   .   you are free as a bird and you can do what you want not unlike  to casino or gambling outside that you cant express your feelings because you are too scared on what others think to you  .
5586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: January 01, 2019, 09:36:19 PM
No it isnt .  convincing people to enjoy gambling is not bad or a wrong idea but you must only do it to adults because teens and kids are inapropriate as we know that gambling has an age restriction    .  encouraging someone on gambling especially on online gambling can even help the gambling scene to become popular and can help cleanse its bad reputation  .  it can even help out cryptos too !

But lets be honest on telling them the truth if what kind of gambling or website that they are playing with  , so that they can be aware about its risk . they can decide if they will continue or not.
5587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We have to be aware that bitcoin will not last forever on: January 01, 2019, 08:24:53 PM
Yes, of course, it really is, bitcoin is the first of its kind, is like a beta version, I think what most people support here is the technology, blockchain really has a good future if it continues to develop, and now I think we can enter a new phase of development and see how high we cap

Last week I met an article about Bitcoin. The guy calculated that all of BTC will be mines approximately in 2140-2141. I think it is a very long time. Therefore, calm down and work with the crypto.

That is already a long year and i guess it is already satisfying enough to enjoy bitcoin plus who will know if we  were still alive on that year .  bitcoin or any other cryptos are only a kind of e currencies and if ever they end soon , we can still have other currencies and payment methods to use that are much better than them  and for sure inventors can always discover or create a replacement that can even make our lives more easier which is also better than cryptocurrencies  . 
5588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the house always win???? on: January 01, 2019, 01:02:15 PM
Majority of users said that if the house percent is bigger , the chance of winning is less but if the house is less the chances of winning is high ( vice versa )    . well id say its not true because i believe that luck and skill are the ones that really matter   . if you are lucky and skillful , you can win but if if you only posses one of those traits then you can possibly loose  .

We are infact greedy and think that the house is cheating and make us loss every time. This is not the fact. Most of the time we lose is due to our mismanagement and greediness.

Yes . we humans are not contented and if something bad happen to us , we then blame anyone but its actually not their fault but ours  .   
5589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nobody wins in gambling anyway on: January 01, 2019, 11:42:57 AM
This kind of thread is the reason why I started this topic an hour ago > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091461.0

It's all about money management, self discipline, you will need luck to win but it is definitely possible. It is just up to you not to get addicted, play for fun, pray for some luck. And yes you can win.

If you person spend little time in gambling then he will be definitely profitable if a person use gambling as full time earning then he cannot make profit because the coming profit will always be lost when you spend lot of time in gambling that's why they having food time is not considered as a job so we cannot involved in gambling is always better for us.
It's not about the time spent, but it depends on your skills.
If you can make money consistently in gambling then definitely you'll spend more time to increase your profit.
That's my understanding, because in my case, I don't make money so I don't spend a lot of time just to minimize my loses.

I agree on what akram143 said .  that less time spend can equals to more winnings because it did happen to me  .  i notice that i loose more oftenly if i play more frequent , that why i only play moderately to ensure that i can controll my losses    . but i also agree on you because luck can sometimes  differ from person to person  .  if you feel that you are lucky today , then better if you can play more gambling so that you can win alot   .
5590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease? on: January 01, 2019, 09:39:28 AM
yes, including environmental diseases. because the environment there is a lot of gamblers, so many other people will also be affected and eventually get addicted too. if you want to really eliminate the addiction, then the environment must also be eliminated from gambling addiction.
This is bullshit. So you are saying that the environment affect your addiction into gambling??  Cheesy Cheesy

First of all, you and you are the one who decides and that includes if you want to gamble or not. If you are gambling everyday, that is your decision and getting addicted into gambling is high. Other gamblers are not a factor on gambling addiction. You can get addicted if you are playing every day for a long time.
There are many gamblers who know what they are doing so they will never get addcited even when they play everyday for too long so it depends on our personal mind control and the intention of gambling when we not really understand the why gambling was foud but they are doing to be rich wihout much effort but and the end they will caught up by debts.

Addicted people do actually know what they are doing and even if they knew that it was bad , they still continue doing it .  gambling addiction is not a dieases but only a mental problem imo  .  a real disease can only be considered if it is inside your body  .  

addiction or gambling addiction can also be treated and in fact only less of the population are affected with it because the truth is that most of the population are poor and cant really afford to loose or play in gambling .
5591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Should I do if my bitcoin has been stolen, and where should i complain ? on: January 01, 2019, 05:46:14 AM
Never could we do after your bitcoin has been stolen because we do not know how to complain and take back our balance, 

Of course you can do something . you can make a scam accuse thread on this forum or on this link  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 . as long as you have all the evidence and the exact details from your transaction  , your thread can gain supoort  from the users here .  they may even help you recover your coins if ever you are too lucky enough  . 

you have focus and make new account and always added new security at your wallet.

Theres no need to create a new account .  what you must do is enable the 2fa and otp or any other extra security add ons and make sure to bookmark only the official url of your wallet if you are using an online one  .  last tip , always double check on what you are copying and pasting to ensure that it is the correct wallet addresses .
5592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many times you heard the bitcoin gonna die? on: December 31, 2018, 05:48:05 PM
many times heard about the death of bitcoin. as we see all the times, bitcoin did not die, but continued to exist for evil by all

A lots of people saying this sentence for a long period of time but it is not happening at anytime in future also this sentence was to be false for all time because when we think Bitcoin was down then it will rise up again and again for anytime and all time.

huh ? it does actually happening . bitcoin did die many times but luckily it revive's again and again .  people have different terms in regard to the status of cryptos  .  whenever they see bitcoin going down they also considered it as it is dying   but that is only good for a limited time only because btc will always recover no matter how deep it'll fall   .  i guess bitcoin can only die permanently if ever the facebook coin rumor is real because it can surely attract alot of investors as it  is backed by the popular mark zuckerberg  .
5593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what will happen if miners stop mining bitcoin? on: December 31, 2018, 01:18:28 PM
For me, I don't think that a lots of miner's will all leave or stop mining the Bitcoin crypto currency. Because honestly, people are gaining a lots of profit from mining especially those who are large miners.

prices of all the cryptos have fallen too hard and i believe mining is not profitable anymore which results for most miners to quit on thier jobs  but i think there will always be an artificial miner or bots if ever human miners will all quit permanently  because we cant send or recieve our coins if there will be no miners available  .

the above situation can also become opposite . maybe no miners will quit all because they know that if they quit , the mining difficulty could loosen up for others  . i guess they dont want to sacrifies thier own position   because they also want to earn a profit  .
5594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A cryptocurrency entirely dedicated to GAMBLING? on: December 31, 2018, 10:02:35 AM
Is it like an altcoin which serves as chips in casinos?. An altcoin which has a primarily function to be the medium of exchange either on gambling sites or on casinos. I never heard of this but i think its a good idea since there are a huge population of gamblers existing in this universe. Good suggestion indeed.

Actually i already see a coin that is specifically built for gambling and its functioning like a chip for bets ( like the one that you mentioned above )  but it is not a kind of altcoin rather it is a token that came from an ico  .   much better if we used this kind of tokens as a gambling medium because they are more cheaper and also offers alot of benefits  .

Cryptocurrencies on the other hand is not really dedicated to gambling because they can also be used for other stuff like for example when shopping, paying ,  investing , trading , etc    .   cryptos are multi purpose 
5595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem: Lost today $2000 on PrimeDice on: December 31, 2018, 07:32:41 AM
Typical beginner mistake.

Starting small, winning a little, losing and chasing your losses by making bigger deposits, typical path to bankrupt.

Your biggest mistake here was to take some money from your Bitcoin assets and deposit with it. Anyway there should be a clear separation between fun and addiction, this is the first step to addiction. Try to forget about it and be wiser next time.
Yes, nothing new. We have heard this kind of stories more than hundred times within this forum still I wonder why new gamblers are not ready to learn some lessons from others experience but still risking their hard earned money and their life too.

You are suggesting him to try next time after learning some lessons from his own mistakes. But, I like to suggest him to stay away from gambling hereafter. At least, he will find a decent life outside the gambling which will be definitely happier than what he could get from gambling.
Leaving gambling after big losses will not be easier for any gambler because you will never forget your losses and you will keep trying to recover at any cost. I mean to say this is the basic mentality of most gamblers but I am also like to suggest OP to stay away from gambling to find better life rather than struggling with gambling.  Gambling is good when you will be playing for free of cost. Otherwise you will be enforced to continue with it for recovering your losses infinitely.

If someone lost 2000$ in a single game then its his fault and you cannot say that it is due to the gambling. You cannot blame gambling for this loss. People who are playing gambling for years already know how much to invest in each turn and pay safely.

This is just greediness due to which people lose such a big amount at a single shot. People would learn how to manage funds while doing gambling.

greed is good all the time because greed is the only one that can give us a  guts to keep going .  tell me , how can you possibly get rich if you are only sticking on your comfort zone  ? thats exactly what the op had done but unfortunately he didnt succeeded because his luck got run out  .   luck is also needed aside from greed  .

@op why dont you try other gambling sites ? maybe you arent lucky enough on primedice  .   have  you check out my sig ?  bitvest offers a wide variety of games , specifically casino games  .    they are more fun and enjoyable than a plain dice game
5596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The way to win in gambling on: December 31, 2018, 05:27:22 AM
It is just luck so in order to win in gambling is just take the risk ,
Just play there is no tricks in gambling specially in dice games any strategy would be found out by the system and after that you would surely lose.
Gambling is all about luck and calculation.

Yes its about luck. However, there are people who still pushes even though they've a bad luck that day resulting in more losses on their end.

Maybe they dont believe on luck but they only believe that gambling is about strategy , methods and skills  .

they were actually right but not all kinds of gambling will fall in this category  but  i still like thier atitude because they dont give up easily , instead they just keep on try and trying until they succeed  .  

They are many known ways to win on gambling , you will just need to figure it out  if which site your are playing and if what type of games you will play  .
5597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin & Banks on: December 31, 2018, 03:52:05 AM
bitcoin and banks in my opinion have no connection whatsoever as they do not operate on the same framework, the technology behind banking is just consisting of database and could be altered but that of blockchain is entirely different and is higher than that of banks

I understand what your trying to say  . yes  both of them are different though people still thinks that bank and bitcoin are the same because bitcoin can be store of value and it can be used as an invesment simillar to what they hear on the traditional banks  but for me , both are actually different because bitcoin is commonly known as a curency while banks are  a company that produces money  .
5598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos with instant deposits on: December 31, 2018, 02:18:50 AM
Like the rest mention. I think BTC based casino is the best choice since its instant and don't worry about rules or regulation from using your credit bank  

I dont think that btc deposits are instant because the tx  fee actually differs from time to time based on the market situation and with that , the processing time can also become affected .  while other payment methods like bank deposits , paypal  , wire transfers are i think more snappy and instant because they are not undergoing in the blockchain  .

Many crypto based casinos and gambling sites nowadays are promising with their instant deposits or instant confirmation feature  but i guess you will still have to wait a minute or two  .
5599  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest in BTC vs Invest in Real Estate? on: December 30, 2018, 12:46:02 PM
I think it's better to invest in bitcoin. Why ? because we know the more years cryptocurrency including bitcoin is getting better and more profitable. many new investors continue to arrive for investment in bitcoin. real estate is good too, but I'm not really interested and for get profit it's small and need a long time.

The decision can also depend on the sum of money you have. You cannot invest in real estate without thousands of dollars. Bitcoin needs not so much if you just begin this business. Thus, I am for BTC now.

Yeah this is correct .  many people on this thread automatically coment that real estate is better just because it is stable but they dont consider the amount that you need before you get your hands on it .

Others will say that they go on btc due to the profit that can possibly get but they dont also consider the risk .

This question is really dependable on the person and on the status of their life    .   if you ask this question to me its obvious that i will choose btc because we arent fortunate enough , thats why im willing to take any risk just to reach my dreams .
5600  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I regret that i entered trading too late on: December 30, 2018, 09:45:07 AM
They say better late than never and better late than later . being late is okay and you must be thankful instead of complaining because there are people who have no yet discovered crypto / trading .

 besides ,  you can still  earn more income in the future because it is said that cryptos are better the longer they existed  . Laslty , you are not alone . you are not the only one that entered late because even me myself is also late and most users here on bitcointalk are late to discovered cryptos and crypto trading .
