5701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: May 10, 2016, 07:22:42 AM
I started out with gambling as a pass time hobby but soon after I lost self control and lost big in casino slots mainly, I came here in this forum and in the gambling part of it, I have started to follow predictions thread and tipster thread so I have made back some of my losses, of course I am still at a loss but that was the moment when gambling made my cry, when I was playing casino slots with zero self awareness of what I was doing. Self control is a very important part when gambling, but greed in 99.99% of the cases prevail and we risk to cry.

that is a good change of strategies here. just remember not to follow your losses too much that you become obsessed with covering the losses with new wins. it is better to start fresh and with a clean slate rather than with lots of loss in the history.
5702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: May 10, 2016, 07:17:57 AM
Exactly, that is what driving the growth of bitcoin gambling sites and in effect bitcoin too. Unfortunately, gambling bad effects to man may also grow. Easy access to gambling sites may increase the negative effect of gambling to people because they can easily be addicted to it. But, of course, it would be beneficial to most bitcoin users. I just hope the good effects out weight the bad ones over time.

Well gambling with fiat is not that hard as well, so I think it won't increase the level of addiction that much, but I understand what you are saying and you have a point. But I think people will always find a way to gamble if they want so I don't feel bad for the bitcoin exponential grow, and I hope it continues.

Bitcoin exponential growth will still continues if bitcoin gambling will become more popular and I think gambling in fiat is still pretty addicting too just like in bitcoin gambling, because real casinos are the starters of gambling addiction so bitcoin gambling just got it to a next level by involving other people who can't afford to go to real casino games!

when it comes to "online" gambling then nothing can take the place of bitcoin. gambling with fiat is just too messy, and so it is much easier to just pick bitcoin instead as a replacement.
mostly because of the small fees that it has especially if you are investing a large amount (it is not percentage base like other payments with fiat)
The online world has a good benefits to the people because by it we can explore many things that would interest us. Right now the biggest interest of the people is gambling and with the help of bitcoin they were able to gamble safely and anonymously. Imagine what bitcoins bring to us, we can gamble without divulging our personal information and I am pretty sure that in the near future many sites will be available.

that's true. although we are not there yet. online gambling is not yet that much popular among the majority of people and also in some countries there are some rules against gambling which makes it tough for the business to thrive, because no matter how much anonymity bitcoin is offering some people would not do it if it is against the law.

10btc .i will make it half invest 5 btc for different money doubling except hyips .then i will make it even 20 btc more if i can.

there is no money doubling in the real world except scams. there is no business or legit people or company that gives you double the amount of investment 100% profit for just investing with them unless you have some business yourself that is booming right now which is rare.
5704  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Halving is a profitable??? on: May 10, 2016, 07:11:26 AM
Do you think that in this year halving is a profitable???

so far "bitcoin" has proven that it is profitable to hold it. it can be because of the halving that the price has been rising but also it can be because of many other reasons such as more popularity of bitcoin and also more adoption that has been increasing lately.
5705  Economy / Speculation / Re: Clear moon pattern forming on: May 10, 2016, 06:48:53 AM
i am so ready for the moon. i have been accumulating bitcoin for such a long time and every time an idiot comes along and says bitcoin is dead i become excited because i can buy more bitcoin because of the shakedown Smiley
here we come #moon
5706  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think for May??? on: May 10, 2016, 06:42:27 AM
bitcoin has been rising on such a good rate lately i am so satisfied with the rise so far. and also i am expecting this rise to continue down this path so by the end of May price will be higher than $500 at the very least and we might see a very good stable price above $500
5707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would be the number of BTC you would be happy in 2 years time? on: May 10, 2016, 06:34:01 AM
the more bitcoin i have the happier i am. i can't really say a number because whatever my goes were and whatever my goals are for the future, when i reach them there will be another goal to reach after that. that is an endless battle.
5708  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why would customers use Bitcoins? on: May 10, 2016, 06:30:55 AM
Customers use bitcoins as it has no taxes.

i don't think that is completely true. because any business that is legitimate and is working under the laws of a country, is subjected to taxes so they will ask for taxes no matter what you use.

for example purchasing games from steam, still has taxes
5709  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to motivate women to use Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2016, 06:22:28 AM
the mothers day is the best opportunity to motivate women to use bitcoin, you can do all sorts of things in this day. you can give them a paper wallet as a gift, just like a gift card which is really money and better than gift cards even. and it would also be like an investment.
5710  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OpenBazaar Opened , your first impressions ? on: May 10, 2016, 06:16:32 AM
OpenBazaar Opened , your first impressions ?
I see it has potential. And I can sell/buy my stuff on it, for less.
It is nice that you are opening a store and so you are also make Bitcoin more popular and used and that is perfect for the currency.
But you have also to promote it more to make it more popular so that is important.
Well you not gonna make it more popular if you do it on the openbazaar to be honest because with the open bazaar only users that using the bitcoin are on it.

that is a good thing because if OpenBazzar becomes popular enough like eBay then people will use bitcoin more and it helps bitcoin to grow.

also i might be mistaken but i think you can use any form of payment there, fiat included.
5711  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does finding out who created Bitcoin matter? on: May 10, 2016, 06:04:24 AM
it doesn't matter at all, actually i think the fact that the creator of bitcoin (satoshi nakamoto) is just an alias, or in other words an anonymous identity makes it more exciting because one of the features of bitcoin is this exact anonymity that can be achieved if anybody likes.
5712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs blockchain reach on: May 10, 2016, 05:58:12 AM
anything that tries to separate bitcoin and blockchain and only take the blockchain (the technology alone) is considered an altcoin which has nothing to do with bitcoin.
and all the banks doing it are creating a centralized altcoin which is way worst.
5713  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best signature campaign now a days on: May 10, 2016, 05:46:21 AM
there is no best signature campaign for everybody, you have to choose the one that suits your posting habits. for example signature campaigns like bitmixer and bit-x are automated weekly payments that has 0 minimum post requirement which IMO is one of the best features.
5714  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin replaces the money? Could happen? on: May 09, 2016, 10:47:41 AM
Noo bitcoins will never replace the money because you can't buy everything with just the coin. And you
can buy everything with enough money so NO he can't replace real moneyssss

never say never, bitcoin certainly has the potential to become big enough to be the worldwide currency for sue. although i also believe that this will not happen because the governments would never allow it. but i will never say never because there is always the possibility of surprise.
5715  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin just hit $465 on: May 09, 2016, 10:44:05 AM
i really love how bitcoin has been rising these past few months, the overall is only rise and also the rise is consistent and slow. from time to time there is a drama that causes the rise to stop or backtrack a little bit but it can no longer push price down for long, and bitcoin is soon back on track.
5716  Economy / Speculation / Re: Falling under 300 again on: May 09, 2016, 10:31:43 AM
This thread was opened six months ago and I think it should be closed right now, because it seems more than unlikely to watch the bitcoin price falling towards such low level. Even the $400 level seems really hard to be reached again.

nah, apart from the obvious spam fest, i think it should not be closed. this is a big lesson for everybody.

from time to time somebody bumps one of these FUD topics from these known FUD spreaders kwukduck and a couple of others, and it proves their real intentions. and shows they are full of it whenever they say it is going to fall under xyz.
5717  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why hasn't the acceptance of btc by steam spiked the price? on: May 09, 2016, 10:27:40 AM
these things take time, you won't see people change their normal ways just because there is a second option even if it is a better option. and it has always been this way not only with bitcoin but with everything it takes time for people to realize these things and embrace the change.
5718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is CHINA CONTROLLING Bitcoin? on: May 09, 2016, 10:23:23 AM
they might have some kind of control in mining because of the mining farms there that have the accumulated hashing power in total but i don't see anything worrying here, they mine bitcoin because they can and it is profitable for them.
5719  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Most Popular & Trusted Bitcoin Game | Huge Community | Free BTC on: May 09, 2016, 10:10:52 AM
Wooh I won 0.03 BTC playing for 4 hours, im lucky for today, thanks Primedice. Cheesy

Congrats. you are very lucky dude, you playing for 4 hours and win 0.03 btc it is too much
I will try too, hoped to win.
But he never said how high was his initial bankroll... Maybe he started at 0.02 or something and then won additional 0.01 later?
Actually for me it would be a great victory if I started the session with less than 0.005.

Anyway, anyone can confirm that PD is back with full speed and lags are gone, and bot betting feels smooth?

When he said that he won 0.03btc means that he is in profit 0.03btc no matter how much is his starting bankroll. So if he start with 0.02btc so his final balance should be 0.05btc.


haha, it is obvious that he is using martingale from a very small investment and reached that big amount the "4 hours" part gives it away. you don't usually bet big amounts for 4 hours as a high roller.
5720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 09, 2016, 10:08:12 AM
its not easy to stop gambling if you can't control yourself, its a problem
 I think you hard to stop gambling
so its better to not start play it if you not ready to lose your money.
If you stop gambling, stop it for good, do not do anything related to gambling because that would lead you to be tempted in doing it again. I know having a gambling problem is hard because there is not such dose of medicine that can cure it, you need to seek help from the expert or the best option talk to your families and friends.

yes, to stop gambling you really need a lot of support. you need professional support to teach you how to deal with the urge but 90% of the other time, you still need peer pressure and care from loves one.
Better to go in psychiatrist to ask how to prevent and ask for a solution.. and i think they can give the best solution for you..

it really depends on the person and their problems. i mean it is different in accordance with how big a problem somebody has. for many people the gambling problem is just an easy light addiction that can be cured by getting busy with a hobby.

seeking professional help from a psychiatrist is for serious cases of gambling addiction only.
