Yup, this is the simple and perfect answer. Stop playing and don't see gambling site anymore. But this is not easy for real gamblers. They don't have control over their emotions. So I think they can take help from family members and also they need some prescriptions from doctors. And more importantly they have to control on their minds otherwise staying out from gambling is not easy.

Of course government hates it because it is against everything that they have had stand for a controlled society.
They see bitcoin as an anarchy waiting to happen in the financial system.
The thing is they don't know that it has started and is out of their control already.

Stocks investing requires a lot to start while bitcoin does not require that much, I would still prefer to invest with bitcoin since the price is volatile and I can earn more profit if the price will be down bigger.

Investing in stocks seems to be risky as it goes same like investing in bitcoin as no one can control the price, but as we know that higher rewards comes only with higher risks.

I think merchant find it hard to actually integrate bitcoin in their cash flow. Remember not everybody is technical and when you accept bitcoin, basic knowledge is required.
Overall I do think that bitcoin will become accepted globally but it is all a matter of time.

When it happens, banks will shake out of fear.

- AC Milan and Valencia want Man City player Eliaquim Mangala and Valencia will bid £18 million for the player
   but AC Milan want borrow him for one season
- Man City already have personal deal with Claudio Bravo and if this player really go to Man City
  i guess Joe Hart won't be the main goal keeper in Man City

My plan is quite simple to get rich. I will buy some bitcoins when the price is low, and then hold most and trade some.

It is much better to win then to lose everyone knows this. That is why it is better to take yout time and make more informed decisions before throwing your money away. only do so if it being you joy to gamble.

i am sure gambling are wrecked almost everyone lives instead fix it ,
noone can beat a house edge and casino bankroll ,
if you can create a survey about people that have fixed their life around you i will bet there only few people think their life fixed because gambling ,
and get back in the next month/year to ask them again about this , i am sure they will say it is wrecked their life now.

It actually depends on your luck cause most of the gambling games are based on luck, Well there are some to that requires analysis like you're gonna look for patterns.

saving money as in having money aside for when you need it is a good option. but if you save money just for the purpose of earning interest, then it's not a good idea. to avoid seeing your fiat holdings decrease in value people should always choose to invest a part of their wealth. that's the only way how you can avoid seeing the value of your wealth turn into hot air.

the feeling of a big disappointment, its always happen to me mate when i'm playing with dice thinking that i already have the edge using my strategy testing it with several bet then make a big one then lose making me more aggressive ending up to lose everything. wow, it's not funny at all but that's how the game works.

Never heard this as an issue with anyone really.

How can someone hate something if they have not even bothered to try and understand it?
They have not a right to discredit something if they have not spent the time to use it.

I would consider accepting bitcoin as a salary. The only problem is that all my bills have to be paid with fiat so I would have to convert. Also, I don't know of any businesses or restaurants in my area that accept bitcoin.

Its good for investment if you buy 1btc now, but before it will grow you will wait more time and no guarantee profit, my suggestion for you if you want to start buying 1btc right away invest it first in trusted investment, so it will grow even without the price growing.

the above guy shared a quite nice list of bitcoin sites,
the list may have more sites to register a domain, but I highly suggest you to use namecheap for get your domain. it is not only accept bitcoin but also a world class famous domain provider company and very trusted too.

That's the same as rape, pillage and murder in Russia - its banned, but it doesn't stop anyone from doing it.  Fucking Russians are idiots, that is why it is banned there.  Anything that prevents the Russian government from crawling up your ass and ripping your guts out - is illegal there.  You must submit.  Don't worry, Russians are used to getting fucked in the ass.  They've been gettin' that all their lives. 

That is the standard practice in gambling in order for you to discipline yourself. Only use the money intended for gambling and never the money that is intended for the needs of your family, if you lose your money for gambling then stop and never do chase using the money for your needs as the real problem will start.

Actually I am not using bitcoin instead of fiat. Bitcoin is for me only an interesting way to diversify my investments, but of course I have found that bitcoin really worth and I would be interested in getting more involved in the altcoin ecosystem but not as an optional investment, but as a philosophy of life.
