I don't think so, because bitcoins is still very young currency and many people can't understand that goverments of many countries will not allow to bitcoin become a legal currency till it's not profitable for them.
Well, bitcoin is not for everyone because not everybody knows how to use computer even with simple functions, this is only for people who usually transact online and bitcoin will give them benefits that they have not experience using their current payment system. It is becoming a global currency in the sense that almost all of the major countries are already using bitcoin and of course when major countries adopt then less developed countries will also follow. In the future, using bitcoin is as easy as using the fiat online banking. You need only smart phone to do that. It depends on how the people will adopt with it, if you are just basing your prediction with the people who have and knows how to use computers or smart phone then maybe you forget the half of the population of the world who are still under poverty. |

we know that most of the times we lost on gambling, but instead of stopping we keep on playing for the next day
after we lost, we got frustrated but we still back to play, is this called "gamble addiction"?
Yes, this is exactly a sign of a gambling addiction. But IMO if you know you will lose it's not as bad as if you think you can really win. If your addiction to gambling is limited to losing couple of dollars per week it's not that bad, right? But the problem with us is when we are already losing hard we cannot stop as we don't just want to stop with a losing record. We cannot accept that a certain day we are losing, we don't have the right attitude in gambling and failed to understand that losing is part of the game. Yeah, i agree with you. When people lose their bet, they will bet more to win back their loses and the worst they losing their money more and they become addictive. When you are chasing bets sometimes you will the amount that is not intended for gambling because once you have the money with you or available at your access the emotion is really strong that you will not stop if you can win in the game, indiscipline gambling likes to win big or go home. |

You can stay away in gambling if you have self contol. Sometime you think your lose so you can think to go back again in gamble. Maybe its hard to do that but i know you that turn to others get busy do not think gamble for you to stay away in gambling. Do trading or get busy in your work so you can not do gambling.
Staying away in gambling is the desperate decision for every gambler, once a gambler wants to stay away that means he is addicted in gambling and he is not doing great in gambling, maybe he is not enjoying or making money in gambling or could be both reasons. If he really wants to stay away from gambling but he never know how or he can never really tell if why he can not stay away from it is because he is already addicted to gambling and people with the symptoms that if he or she don't make a gamble for just a day he will feel the itch and needs or longing for it, then I think he will have to consult his psychiatrist for a proper consultation. People who addicted into gambling is hard to stay away from gambling and can't do it instantly, it must be step by step to stay away from gambling. You are right it must be a step by step process and of course he must be willing to stay away from gambling and going to do the initiative. I think you must start it with yourself if you really want to stay away from gambling because you are not going to help yourself. Help yourself first and try to stay away by yourself. Sometimes we cannot change our self alone, we need an inspiration to do that because gambling is addiction is a worse disease, it cannot be easily taken for granted as it can ruin the life of a certain family. We need to be very careful in gambling if we don't want to experience the worst possible things that may happen to our life. |

i can easily name 10-15 or even 20 players who deserve a contract like that more than him
and nowadays because of all social media, tmz, etc. we (general public) also know if something bad happens off the court.
The media makes alot of hype for certain player and that makes them overrated although that they have only a decent performance. This is one way of getting popularity and get yourself a great contract otherwise you wont really get it just by playing great on the court everytime ( wait , you can be good on the court ALL the time though ) You are especially social media in which people or then fans of that certain player show some of its highlights it allows the palywr to become more popular and gain fans which i think leads the management to see and know it. The tendency then is that dince they saw how good the player is because of the highlights the will get it Player highlights alone can't get you too far if that is the only thing you can show for. The management isn't that stupid too rely on just video clips and signing a player because he is hyped by social media. That assumption is rather flawed since we all know that the best players are those who work the hardest and make their game speak for it. Well i haven't said that players highlight alone can get you too far, i have only said that it would be a great boost for them as they become more popular and when management means business having a lots of fans will surely be considered. We cant deny the fact that everything also comes to business, no matter how good you are but when you were left behind of the competition you surely eithier get a slot NBA is an entertainment so they would value more on the entertainment than the real competition, some games are intentionally rigged in order for the fans to witness a close games and that would make them feel the thrill and will get the worth of their money, that is NBA and player with so much publicity will be more popular and will help the NBA to stay profitable. What can you expect for? Im sure they would invest on very known player because no one would provably love to see a player whos fame is questionable thats why they will go to players who have more reputation since it cam give more money to them, but i dont think the game time was payed but the players itself because they can give competitive win's on those basket and any of those stronger team can give 0-4 records as i've seen in nba. That is NBA where amazing happens as they say, everything is all about the profit even at the Jordan era. They are promoting players for the NBA to be well known in every part of the world. Base on my analysis, after Jordan era, it was Kobe Bryant and now it is the time of Lebron James, so I would tell you fellas don't bet against the king. |

However it is not advisable to hold all your investment in forms of bitcoins as we can never ascertain the future. You only hold an amount that you can manage to lose and you could use your earnings here in this forum if you have a job by considering it as your savings and investment at the same so it would be less risky for you.
Saving and investing has almost the same risk , people just doesnt realize it yet. By saving your money in fiat you are actually exposed to inflation ( everyone is ) however in term of investing you are exposed to the risk that your investment could be losing its value the moment you blink your eyes I do not think that you will lose your investment that fast if you put it on the right investment. And I think saving is not that risky. It will keep your money intact. And I do not think inflation rate will not hurt that much if you will just hold your money for a few months or years. If you are saving bitcoin then that is also an investment because the amount of your saving will change its value from time to time, there is no safe way in bitcoin but the risk could be minimize while the reward can be maximize, that is the beauty of focusing your investment with bitcoin. That is true saving in bitcoin is an investment but we minimize the risk if we have a multiple investment and if we take higher risk investment we could get high return on your investment. It is always better if you put your money on multiple investments as they say. Do not focus only on online investments and venture also businesses and stocks. In my opinion, those are less riskier investments than online investments. well to be honest i think you are right though i cannot apply this to bitcoin, i can only invest into bitcoins and nothing else i think bitcoin is the best investment ever For us, bitcoin is the best investment that is why we are here. We re here because of our faith in bitcoin that it would bring a good future to its investor and as the early adopter we will be rewarded with great prizes for our support with bitcoin. We might not feel it now but with continues support and putting our money as investment we will be part of the success. |

Get your money down on Westbrook for MVP Imho.
Many reasons think this is a smart bet
1. No Durant so westbrook gets all the shots he wants
2. Contract year so he wants to ball in order to get a big deal.
3. He is pissed about Durant leaving and wants to show he can
get OKC far without any help
4. He won MVP of the all star game so he enjoys the big stage.
5. His odds are pretty dam good considering everyone will be on
Steph Curry and Lebron and others.
Obviously its no lock but as a decent size long shot its definitely worth
a few bucks.
I think I will bet on this too sir seeing westbrook to do all he can to prove that okc can still survive w/out Durant and the raise would be bet james and curry again westbrook will come out and get the title behind the back, maybe that's also a good drama for nba to create another tam to defeat. will see this things happen mate. Yeah! the guy has a point in his prediction, we should thank him for bringing up the reasons on why we should be on westbrook. Like what happen in the past if you guys still remember, during the 1st finals of the warriors vs cavaliers, the favorites for finals MVP is lebron and curry but in the end it was iggy who goes out to be a winner and the odds was really good that time. Although Iggy was given the Finals MVP award, we all know that Lebron played like a beast in that Finals. If only the award can be given to the losing team, LBJ could easily brought home that Finals MVP trophy. In the case of Westbrook, there's a good chance he will become a frontrunner in the MVP race, that is if (1) he doesn't get traded, and (2) he carries the Thunder to the playoffs. Well I'm gonna bet for Paul George. Even though he came from gruesome injury he can lead the Indiana Pacer to championship with the great additional free agent that they pick up. I am not yet confidence with the way Paul George is playing, he is actually an offensive player as he cannot consistently do it, the injury is still with him and I don't wanna risk my money with the injured guy that has not proved anything yet that he can take his team to the finals. On the other hand, Westbrook is more explosive than Paul George as evidenced by the way he played in the West Finals and even in the all star game. |

There is no fixed time for me. I buy on dips, when the dust settles.
to be honest i also just buy when i see that the price is dropping and makes the price cheap enough for me to buy, then i sell when the price goes up a lot Everytime there's a significant drop, say 10%, that is buy time for me. I patiently wait for these opportunities as they don't come very often, and I don't always have the funds to buy whenever the price go down. I also do not sell right away because I look at bitcoin as a sort of a long term investment. When that drop belongs to the normal volatility of bitcoin then that is good to buy and that is how the good day traders are making money, they have a decent capital to take advantage even the smallest price movement of bitcoin. To be honest, that is my goal in the future so I am learning now to have my journey a successful one. |

Well, in fair lottery you really have chance to get million...
Yeah you have the "chance" and we can't say that it is safe enough if there is a chance to become a millionaire with lottery. And in gambling, there is no safe method at all just to secure your winnings or going to have good profit out of it. Accept the fact, that when you lose, it is not your fault, but by that "chance".  It could be your fault also because you bet on a game that you have a little chances to win, when we are serious with gambling and we want to win in the long run, we should be very cautious on selecting a game that is good for us, a game that will give us a good chances of winning and a game that we can also use our knowledge and skills somehow. |

The safest method I am aware of to gamble is using http://game-protect.com You should at least try to avoid a 100% house edge.  And if you play skill games like Poker, then you can have also +EV, but only if you try to avoid the 100% house edge like it happened with Lock Poker and many other sites before! So what about those players who don't have great skill to play poker like a professional, how can they themselves into +EV, surely they will lose against more experienced players, I am pretty sure there is no safe way exist to make only profit without any risk factor. That is pretty simple, if you do not have the skills to win in gambling then you should not play it for money as there are more clever than you and surely you will not succeed in the long run, for those who have no skills in gambling but intend to make money better evaluate your goal again and if possible focus on the fun not the reward. If he don't have any skills on gambling, you can try follow or tails the tipster on this gambling section. There are many tipster and you can follow their tips to get win. Of course you can do that but that would decrease the excitement felt in gambling, when you just follow even if you win you will not be confident with your self in gambling and we could lose our interest because our main purpose is to have fun and only if we win in gambling will we get the bonus. |

For now, the price of bitcoin is not continuous rising anymore because the hype of halving is done and the price of bitcoin is stable right now. Maybe it will increase a bit slowly.
After the halving price of bitcoin is almost stable but it will definitely increase in coming months, people are holding their bitcoins , they know the price will increase in future. Price of bitcoin will increase in the mid of September. yeah after halving the price doesn't seen any huge rise or fall, just maintaining good stability, $660 is now a very hot support, by this the price will increase in coming weeks. Let us hope for that, we are all waiting for a good price of bitcoins so we can all make money out from our investment. It is just a matter of time, those who can hold firm of their coins will be benefited by those weak hands who would be tempted to dump before the price increase will not profit. |

my gambling stats today i just won around 0.05 BTC and 1.3M Dogecoin
I am sure that I have lost more times then won with gambling but that is just how it goes with most people who have gambled. You are not going to win in the long run you will have to be super lucky. You are not alone brother, you can count me in, I do lose more than I won in the past and still counting but I have made a good gambling habit doing a limit in my gambling session every time. That is just normal because we can never really win in gambling and more we can do now is just to entertain our self. |

Invest on popular investment and some HYIP. I know how HYIP works and i understand the risky too, i already know how to invest and play safe on HYIP.
hyips are really bad to be honest and they will not allow you to earn any money because they will just steal your money most probably, i just save all my bitcoins i have for the future if you "want to" lose your money then by all means, throw it away on HYIPs and give it for free to the scammers and let them laugh at you for being gullible. in my opinion it is so much better to go on a dice site, set the multiplier to 2x and then put in the same amount of money you wanted to put in the HYIP, that way you will be taking a so much smaller risk and you know that nobody ripped you off. HYIP are still the same when playing dice because your chances is decreasing the longer you play in that game. That is only for entertainment and you can never win in gambling. Only treat gambling as an investment is you put a decent amount of money in the pot money of a certain site and I think that would be the best way to do for most of the gambler. |

get your hands on a bit of bitcoin and just wait. Some of the bitcoin you can either invest or bet with, but keep a stable amount.
But you have to work hard to become rich, and you are talking about bet, you don't have any idea that gambling will also lead you to loose all your money ?? investing your money in trading is better then taking risk in gambling. This is very true and I also think this is not a good advise, betting is always risky and there is pretty good chance to lose all amount very quickly, hold can be better if anybody can afford to hold for a long than it will be worth to it. You can hold your bitcoins but you cannot expect that you will rich in the future, it is still like gambling with the current status of bitcoin as we are still in the early phase, though we are optimistic that the price will rise accordingly in the future due to increase of demand but anything could happen and we should not be 100% convince about our speculation. |

In a few decades, the bitcoin or another coin, maybe Ethereum will be used widely, could even replace certain fiat.
Lol maybe you'll be a dreamer because I think until whenever altcoin can never replace bitcoin. bitcoin users has exceeded 10 million ? users when compared with etherum users who can be sure that they are also users of bitcoin right ? for bitcoin replace fiat i think its include impossible ? What ever happens to this world, as long as fiat(local currencies) is still the legal tender recognized by the government, then there is no way that cryptocurrencies could replace fiat... We are too far from the time when technology would turn the tide and make bitcoin as our main currency.. Maybe when all that are around us is payable with bitcoin, then there is a chance that it could happen..  It would take very long time to replace fiat by bitcoin or it wont happen at all since fiat is used for how many years since the civilization began to use paper currency. Government recognizes fiat compare to bitcoin which is not known by everyone it would really took a long process to replace fiat. In addition, there is no monetary authority that restricts or boosts the number of bitcoin. Technically we can say yes to bitcoin, but it was never intended for that purpose but as an alternative to fiat currencies. Yeah! That is just an alternative of fiat as it is still our main currency required and regulated by the government to use for its people. Bitcoin is just a digital currency that we could also use in online transaction having the benefits of low cost transaction that would eventually help the volume of users that has adopted and would be the reason why volume of users are increasing. |

A lot of gambler might tell you how good it feels to get out of the serious gambling addiction but still these gamblers still go back to whenever they have chance and money to spend. the only way for a gambler to stop gambling quick fast and in hurry, these gamblers better to have given some responsibilities feeding their kids or paying the rent else they;d be homeless if they loss big money.
I have not met any gambler who got recovered from gambling addictions. But if it would be possible for any gambler then he might be the luckiest person as he will regain his life back. But quitting gambling is not possible for many gamblers as gambling keeps on attracting them to go back to gamble again and again. It must be better to stay away from gambling to avoid addictions of it. We are discussing that only, how to avoid gambling addictions by staying away from it. Once you were into gambling and staying away from it must be a very tough challenge of your lifetime. You must need very strong heart to avoid gambling after you get practice to use it more frequently. Yes, leading a life without knowing anything about gambling is possible for any people. But, played with a gambling for some time and staying away from it is not possible for most of the gamblers here. But playing gambling very rarely and not get into addiction is possible for any people if he is wise enough. Yes, there is no need to stay away from gambling for ever if you have some self control. Gambling is not addicted you when you are not going for it very frequently. So, there is no need to avoid it completely when you have control to go for gambling only when you have some money for your entertainment. Well if a person really wants to stay gambling because it is not giving him a good result for his life, then it is better if you are going to help them to stay away from gambling if he really want to. Giving them another addiction to some other things are a good way to stay away from addiction in gambling. It is very true and most gamblers will certainly get it, because I noticed that all gambling gamblers because it wanted to get a very big advantage in time a bit. I think not everyone will do well and gambling addiction is a special thing for those greedy Majority of us is not really doing well in gambling because we are more after of the money rather than the entertainment it brings into our life. That is one of the reason why we cannot absorb the real essence of gambling and we do not understand our chances when doing it and putting all our effort just to beat the system. |

I never loan money, and I never will. For anything!
Even when I`m forced to loan, I go to very close people and I arrange right away how will I return it, which day, or month..Everything to be precise!
This is like saying, "I don't ask for loans and never will, but then again I get loans from my friends every now and then." The first one was you're saying that you don't get loans and then the latter says that you just arrange to your friends how will you return the money when you're getting a loan from them. Seriously, what do you even mean? Everything is very simple. Most likely, the person takes a loan from her good friends. Neither any contract, or who does not sign. All rely on each other's words. Such loans usually do not have the interest rates and based on complete trust between people. It is very important if you are going to borrow money from someone to sign for a contract. That is the risk of borrowing or lending money to someone you are trusting, because even if you are trusting them they can still do something that is not written on your contract. So, it is very risky for borrowing or lending loan. Contract is the basic requirement to bind two parties but in real life scenario that would not work all the time because if you will analyze very closely when the borrower cannot pay due to delinquency or bankruptcy you can sue him but that would not guarantee that you can get back your investment. |

Yes i actively spend my bitcoins everyday, because i always deposit my bitcoins into gambling and sometimes i'm buying something at online using bitcoins.
Good mate, I thought I am the only gambler here, I do gamble also most of the time but currently I am lucky because I am up. My bet is not really that big because I just gamble for fun after learning my lessons from my sad experience in gambling years ago. There are many bitcoin gamblers out there mate. The sad is i always lose on gambling, that's why i always deposit and spend my bitcoins on gambling. That is just fine if you are having a good time in gambling, having a good time is just doing gambling with a quality time and the amount of money you are losing is just one way to pay for the expenses of having fun, however if you are into making profit and you are always losing then you should stop by now as gambling is clearly not for you. |
