6121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 17, 2016, 05:33:44 AM
just stop it and don't touch it again
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.
Maybe its easier said then done. Will he be asking this if he has no problem from stopping? Definitely not because obviously he has addiction issues.

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. Undecided

Well maybe some of the Government hate BTC. I mean many countries ban it for the reason that it is not the official currency of their country, But for my personal opinion they ban it because they have no way in determining how they will tax btc users. As it is complex you don't know where it came from where and too many kinds of wallets to handle. The diversity of it can be challenging for a government who wants to tax it.

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.
They have a reason for the government's hate. What do you think will happen to a country that relies solely to BTC? Do you think our country will generate national income? Well not of course. It's a small decision that can generate a ripple effect maybe you are earning now without taxes but soon you will experience the consequences.

Saving money maybe the most stupidest way  to lose your money. Why? Because even if your money is inan bank savings account every year you lose in Inflation your money depreciates its value and you don' t know it. So maybe investing it is a better choice.

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.
Saving money and setting it aside must be the way on how you silently or blindly make you money decrease. I mean if you set money aside inflation will decrease your money's buying power. While Investing it in atocks whicha has an annual 20% return is not bad and actually beats the inflation rate of most.

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.

Investing in stocks is a lot easier than bitcoin. Because when the prices go down they still buy because they know it is on a discount we call it averaging down, a popular technique of Warren Buffet that made him into a billionaire.
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 doesn't really require a lot of money. Well maybe you are referring to Stock Trading. I invest regularly 100-150$ monthly in my Stock Portfolio its not big compared to a value of 1 btc. So its really your choice. But the topic is really about to save or to invest I prefer investing it in to trustworthy stocks.

6125  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? on: August 14, 2016, 06:51:05 PM
If the business is sending money to other country.
Than I think is good to tell them that Bitcoin is a solution because is faster and cheaper.


I think this is not a solution. Because BTC wallets can send Bitcoin directly to other BTC wallets so I dont know why money senders needs BTC for there businesses? In fact BTC's convenience can weaken their sales

This is not a good idea at all. you can convince the sender to use bitcoin, but what if the receiver don't have the features of bitcoin? and only sending and receiving is not enough for local business, they send in fiat because fiat can be use easily in locally also. and bitcoin can't be used easily. if you accept bitcoin you again need to exchange them into fiat to use them and spend them.

Well the receiver can always have the solution to create a btc wallet its free and easy and you will instantly get an btc address . Also Exhanging it to Fiat is also not a problems. As many of the btc walket has a option to diractly move btc into your bank account automatically converting it to fiat.



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.
We're missing one importand aspect here. It's the legality of bitcoin. How can a local business accept btc of its illegal in the first place. Some countrie prohibit the transactiom of btc thats the one of the big reasons whys it can't grow locally.

- 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
The bad thing about A.C. Milan is they are always related to names when its transfer season but no progress they keep signing mid-tier players. Even after the agreement of Berlusconi selling it to Chinese businessmen no progress. They have the manager, the budget, the name. I wonder how come until now they are not getting any big names.

Who knows, i though i know but i am still not so rich, it means that i don't know how to do this. But i really want to know and i will do this, later Grin
Well, if you have no plan to be rich then you will not become rich, to be rich is hard if you do not have a plan to follow. Maybe you can call that as a wish to become rich and you need some miracles to be rich like winning in the lottery accidentally or find a lost bag with full of money in the steet.

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.
What are your contingency plan then? What will you do when the you bought it a low price but after a few weeks it gets lower? Or what will you do if ETH is growing faster than bitcoin?
6128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what fun in GAMBLING? on: August 14, 2016, 06:15:20 PM
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.
In gambling the most important decision you can make is deciding when to stop. Because it's not how you start it's how the person knows when he/she had enough of it so I am saying that in gambling it requires strategy and control. The control is about the control of money and how you want to end your day with it.
6129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 14, 2016, 06:08:18 PM
for me gambling never fix my life im getting addicted because of bitcoin and i want to quit but i am always chasing my lose and i want to bring my lose back thats why im always get greedy because i chase my lose hopefuly that i can move on and start another day to play gambling hoping that one day luck is on beside me <3

Well for sure many people did have the same experience as yours. And for me, I can proved it to myself that gambling is not really going to make my life good and if I'm going to be addicted to it, it is just going to wreck my life. So, if you can't help yourself it is going to be better if you are just going to treat it as a form of entertainment or pass time.
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's funny how you are saying gambling is bad and how it can wreck your life, but still wears a signature-ad of a gambling site. Well that's how it works for you so so just realize some things that needs to be in the right place.
6130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 14, 2016, 04:57:43 PM
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.
You can't earn anything if you always based it on luck. Well it depends on your risk appetite on how much are you willing to bet and the worst case scenario is how much are you not willing to lose. Everything can be unexpected in betting. Some of my experiences are not that sweet in fact most of them are not. Smiley

Of course I can feel the fun in gambling. When I am playing my favorite slot machine game there is my brain which keeps telling me soon you will be a big winner and who knows the jackpot maybe right behind the door and I enjoy this feeling a ton. Then it comes the sadness part of losing all of my bankroll in the slot machine, I feel a bit sad but still my brain keeps me optimistic with the same story.

Yeah I know the feel bro the feeling you get when you are exoecting to win but lose big time its kinda hard. Also being optimistic even if you are on a losing streak can make your loss be worser.
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.
Try tweaking your system. If you can win several little times than try stopping puting it all in for one try. As there is always a chance you will lose all of it. Maybe if it works for you than it will be ok. Also try controlling your emotions as it can get in the way for your decision making skill.

6134  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: August 14, 2016, 06:56:47 AM
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.
Converting it to Fiat is not a problem anymore. Some wallets have the option to convert BTC to Fiat via cash bank account, door to door delivery, Cash Pick up. Well the only difference is it varies between the fees. Having the bank deposit the cheapest as it is free. So converting btc into fiat is not a problem. BTC however grows quickly than any fiat money out there, That is why I want BTC as my salary
6135  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: August 14, 2016, 02:16:07 AM
How safe is it?
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.
Hey bro suggesting that you invest your btc directly is the worst suggestion to be saying. Investing BTC means hyips, and is fake and unethical because it is close to stealing other member's Bitcoins. So the best thing for him to do is to invest in cryto exchanges. Also HYIPS are not real investments for your information.

bitcoin is banned in Russia but that does not stop anyone from using it there.
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. 
Yup it is possible that it prevents government from crawling up your taxes. Yes it is illegal but when you search all hyip most of them the #1 traffic they get is from Russia. So even tho it is illegal it is evident that many people are still using it and they are getting away with it. 
6139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 13, 2016, 03:03:45 AM
always separate the money for gambling after that you just have to control yourself so you wont spend more if you lose all the gambling money.

It is a good way separating your money from gambling and other expenses. But it does not avoid the chance of losing all the money you set aside. So it's not a guaranteed safe method for gambling but it is a method where you have control with your money. Or if you really have control at it if you know what I mean.
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.
Its easier to say than to do. I don't know any wallet that separates their btc for the one in gambling and for the one for saving. I am just assuming that this talk is for btc because we are in a btc related forum. Having transactions and confirmations faster makes it hard and tempting to a losing gambler. Saving btc might not be easy unless you withdraw the other portion you save to fiat.
6140  Other / Off-topic / Re: What value does Bitcoin bring to you? on: August 13, 2016, 12:37:47 AM
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.
Yes I would have to agree with you with what you have said. Bitcoin created  a system where people can earn online. It was accepted by everyone as a currency for payment and investment, with the same reason its value got higher because of many factors not only mining them. It made people rich and others have added there income without tax.
