It is truly possible because Bitcoin is not like those riches who are getting richer themselves exploiting poor people's hardwork, but Bitcoin gives opportunity to those lower or mid level type laymen too in order to think to invest in such a giant and make up a living...
Those who have had taken the opportunities and bought few even when the price was $250 once, they must be having at least 10x of what they sowed... Smiley
You said was right but this is just only good for those who did believe on bitcoin on earliest days and considering on the number of those people its just really a small count on the total population who do suffer poverty. I cant see that bitcoin would able to solve or end world poverty knowing that not all people do have knowledge about bitcoin and engaging on it would really require net connection which we can see that they don't even have a pc nor a mobile phone.

I think if there is ever a time when gambling is negatively affecting your life then it's a really good time to say 'that's enough' & walk away.

OP I salute you for being strong willed enough to take control of your situation.
Its very an easy thing to say to someone and would able to say on ones self but doing this thing is really very hard and you would really need strong self control and discipline in able to do such thing. If you are really a wise person and a sensible one you would really feel these things and you will surely think up on whats ahead or the possible consequences that might happen to you.
7103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: Apple Store Start Accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum on: August 15, 2017, 10:44:08 AM
Quote
The “Apple cafeConnect” service center, which sells Apple gadgets and provides services for their repair has begun accepting payments in cryptocurrencies.
Oh. I got too excited there. Freakin clickbait articles. It's just an apple accessories store in Belarus named “Apple cafeConnect”, ladies and gentlemen, not Apple Inc. Still good news, but yeah. It's not the official Apple company that started accepting bitcoin and ethereum. Oh well, for now, one can only dream of such tech giants accepting cryptocurrencies for payments.

Not sure if OP actually read the article and not only the headline.
Ive fallen on the trap too. Grin I did thought that Apple Inc. do really announce that they do accept BTC and ETH. This is why I did click the link and ending up on reading the misleading information since its just an another store which do accept crypto for their Apple accessories same as you said. Good for them and for those people who do live near on that place. If this thing would happen globally or even on Apple Inc. Itself then it would really be a huge step-up.
7104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: August 15, 2017, 10:17:53 AM
If I won money ,I will put into investment for gambling to have more money after that I will buy important think in my live .


It is not at all a good decision to keep all the amount back into gambling because the winning chances are very less when you gamble again.
I tried many time like this and failed, so it is always good to find other investment farms where you can make money from it.
Maybe he mean about putting up those winnings on gambling site house which we can really consider it as an investment and theres no such thing that playing gambling again as an investment since its just for entertainment purposes. I can say that its somehow a good decision on putting on houses and we would really gain up even though on small percentage but much better than losing all of those winnings back again to the house.
7105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: August 14, 2017, 10:58:45 AM
Whatever brings the individual some sense of invincibility to themselves then it is not bad. But if in everything you do it life and you keeps superstition, of course it doesn't make sense. In gambling, there are a lot of superstitions, but its up to us if we want to believed on it or not. Some bring their belief in the casino and won, because they think that they are invincible which sometimes happened but we all know that luck has something to do with it and not superstitions.


I respect the beliefs and opinions of every person in superstition.When gambling at an online casino or land based casino, people often believe that can increase their chances of winning through superstitious practices, even when facing losing streaks. We can not rely on superstition,we need to put an action.

when we facing losing streaks that time only people go with this Superstition because our all actions will not work that time and people start to believe in this Superstition. Not only in a real casino and online casino while watching any sports with friends or relations our fav team is playing means that time most of the people will follow this method and they believe this method. But most of the time the resulting will support to those put trust on Superstition I don't know how it will affect the game result.
Superstitions wont really affect the game since its just a belief on what gamblers do have and believing such thing isn't really bad at all because its normal for a certain person to find ways that would work for him on playing gambling and it cant really be avoided and also to myself when I do play gambling even I don't have beliefs but when I'm in the middle of the game I can create my own ways which somehow acts as a superstitious belief.
7106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will banks start a war against bitcoin on: August 14, 2017, 10:23:58 AM
This is impossible, they can't start a war against a cryptocurrency.
Btc don't have only one source or only one country or ...
It is all around the world.


That's not true. I think the banks would starts a war but only when market cap of Bitcoin is over $1,000,000,000,000 then they will pay attention to it because people aren't using the banks they will be using Bitcoin instead and this is not good for banks so they will try to fight against Bitcoin in that time, but not now it is way too early actually.
On that marketcap they will surely be worried about because people would really switch already into crypto without using banks anymore and they would really be worried about that but I cant think off on the way on how they would make a war against bitcoin? I guess it would really be hard since bitcoin is anonymous and tracing any single user of that wallet isn't possible as of now and this is really the beauty of bitcoin.
7107  Economy / Economics / Re: Money above all things, Yes or no ? on: August 13, 2017, 03:05:12 PM
I can see that people nowadays are busy searching on money and everything depends on money. People nowadays never go to church just because they would rather earn money rather than praise God. Others do not pay respect to elders  because they earn money for them or richer than them. Well for you, is money above all things ?
Money is the main reason why most all people here are after for it. But let us not allow money to control us in everything we do.
Because if that happen money maybe able to controls ans lead us to become greed anyway.
Money should be controlled not money would be controlling us and you are right we would really become greedy if we do always think about money. We do accept the fact that we cant survive if we don't have money since we cant sustain our needs in able to live. I would go for the decision between yes and no we do need money but it is not above all things.
7108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Many Casinos Are There in Your Country? on: August 13, 2017, 02:01:08 PM
As far as I know there are casinos on my country but they are on the center of the city or shall we say on the capital region on which for those people who are on the province wont really able to play on those places and knowing that playing on casinos is really costly and expensive.I do know some of them but I didn't even tried to go into those places and I would rather choose up on playing bitcoin casino sites than bothering myself on those places.
7109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do your children a favour and save bitcoin NOW on: August 13, 2017, 01:30:59 PM
Same as others most people do said here I don't have still a family yet since I'm still single and do have some work but saving up bitcoin for the future is really a very wise move for you to make because we would somehow ensure our future with this coin since we do know its potential that it gives later on but we should not still forget on the things and risk behind it.
7110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to make sure you don't lose money on: August 13, 2017, 12:30:14 PM
To avoid risk don't gamble and that is the simpliest thing we need to do to avoid loses, And also it's much better to try tradings rather than putting at our money at risk in gambling since in that games we cannot assure to win for some time around and we cannot retrieve what we lose unlike on tradings where we can hold to wait for the next earning oppurtunity for some coins there.
Doing gambling isn't really bad at all as long you do know your limitations and its risk then you should be fine. Losing money is always been part of gambling games from the word itself you are risking your money to earn money and theres only two things would happen either win or loss. Just like that and this is why we should really be prepared on the risk and if you don't like on risky things then better to stay away.
7111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: August 12, 2017, 05:43:27 AM
For me i found a really easy i gamble only on yolodice and started gambling my signature campaign earnings which hurted me a lot so i messaged the admin to disable gambling for me and he did do that and now there is no way i can gamble on yolodice and i know I'm lazy to transfer those funds in another site pretty easy solution

Did Yolodice did that for you? Lucky you the admin have listen to you and did disable them because I think they don't have to do for you and for everybody else.

Just concentrate on thinking that gambling was not good for you then maybe you can stop gambling. 😂
You might not do it in a day but surely time will come. 😀😁

It would make someone crazy, especially if he is addicted to gambling, then he will keep on thinking if he is going to win the next time he tries gambling, he will never think this, that he will stop gambling for the better, NO, the only thing that always coming up on his mind is all about money, how to win all back what he lost and to make profits at the same time.

But if its already affecting personal and family lives, i think a person should really recalibrate his decision. It's already a good reason to quit if you're family is affected and ypu just have to have the strength to channel that self control from your family.

Family will always comes first. During my addiction days, I made to see that my family first has food on the table before going on a casino or playing online. But later I realized that it will not take me to anything that is why I decided to quit or just play occasionally and not waste my money and prioritized things on my life. Gambling is not my priority now and I have a lot of self control now.
Compromising the money which are already being budgeted for the needs of family is really a dumb decision for a certain person to make because he would really make problems later on when he find out that theres nothing left on his pocket that is why we should really be sensible enough to mind of these things.Priorities would really comes first before anything else.
7112  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: August 12, 2017, 05:17:10 AM
I think there are a lot of definitions of the word corruption in the dictionary and I think, Bitcoin can lead to corruption based from the definition that I know. Corruption for me, is when people use something but that something is not for that people but for other purpose or other people, though in bitcoin it can be called on another word. For example, I am running a signature campaign, lets say it is A signature campaign. My campaign manager is X and been my partner for 6 years. I trusted him so much, that I put the whole 10 bitcoins to the address of the campaign. After that I didn't hear about him or what happened to my bitcoins, as far as I know, he run off with my bitcoins, and used it not the way it will be used.

You can just simplify it by saying, to exploit people and or do that is immoral. 



Definitely  anything that can bring power or trigger greed can corrupt people.  Bitcoin like money is no exemption.  Bitcoin can give people power, financial capability, and fame.  If a person cannot get enough of these with Bitcoins then he can turn into a corrupt person exploiting everything he can to get more of what Bitcoin offers.

In my opinion maybe it can open way to corruption but if any user is very alert and progressive then no-one can cheat him so it's like 50-50 chance of corruption to spread it's leg via bitcoins
Nah! the very users are also the person that uses bitcoin to hide their laundered money, in short, corruption. I'm not saying all bitcoin users are corruptors but some of us are. So those people are taking advantage of the great features of bitcoin to hide their corrupted money in the public because it is hard to trace transactions in bitcoin.
They would really normally use this feature on securing up their corrupted money which we cant do anything since bitcoin can be used by anyone and would really take advantage on it.Yes some of us would really use that thing for bad things but not all but we cant escape the reality that it can be used on such particular thing. You can hide funds without being traced by anyone.
7113  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: August 12, 2017, 04:20:01 AM
Bitcoin will allow people to find the perfect work for them since they can search for the job they want and can be payed in bitcoin if their employer is in a foreign country .
Yes this is possible but would really depend on what skills you do have this would be mostly on programming,designing and developing skills if you do have this kind of things then you do somehow assure your possible income online because these are on demand skills which can really give you good amounts and talking about bitcoin it can really give some jobs specially to those who are unemployed.
7114  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin price possble to reach $4500 soon? on: August 12, 2017, 03:53:29 AM
Bitcoin price is $3000+ in Chinese Market. When do you think it will reach $4500?
If the price movement would really behave on this way then its possible to reach out that price range but it wont really be short since it would really takes months or even on next years price. We cant still be sure but theres always a possibility ,I don't know what drives for the price to rise up so fast as of these days lets say the demand is increasing but this kind of movement really worries me off. Price dips would surely happen next.
7115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: August 12, 2017, 03:30:55 AM
Its always important to remember the fact of gambling its only for diversion and the trading its to make profit. There is some peoples wich lives with gambling but they are the exception.

I beg to disagree, people bet to make profit and not as diversion. Both of them are in the business of making money, whether its gambling or trading. There are also at risk. So you have to choose which is more adaptable to you. I would choose trading because the returns for it is very good and the risk can be mitigated. Unlike in gambling that once you bet, consider it a lost already. While in trading, if you think that the market will not move or probably go down then you will not risk to trade today but rather wait for several days before making any moved that will give you a good yields. Timing is important but in gambling you need to be extremely very lucky just to won a little.
I cant really consider gambling is a diversification of your money and besides this thing is just really good for entertainment and theres no other than that excluded if you are investing on your money on the gambling site. Trading is always the best choice but remember its not easy as it sounds but much better to focus on than on trying hard to make money on playing gambling.
7116  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fixed income with BTC trading? on: August 10, 2017, 02:51:34 PM
Trading is an activity cann't be sure in terms of income. However, we can have benchmark on how much profit we want to achieve or limit losses on trade. Improving understanding in trading very helpful in determining every decision.
Correct, theres no assurance on making profits everytime on trading bitcoin since prices are unpredictable which our profits would really depend on how we do trade on a certain day. We profited we lose its just like that and its a normal thing here on trading. Fixed income isn't possible if we are really talking about fixed amounts on daily basis but there are ways to be profitable but amounts wont really be the same at all.
7117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: can gambling give you lessons in life? on: August 10, 2017, 02:11:29 PM
Of course, It can give you a great punch to your face when you gamble all of your pay checks.. then bust. When you say gambling there's always a risk in it. I learned a lot in gambling.. there's a time I loss all of my earnings/savings in gambling that's why i dont wana play again....
yes that is what people claim , they have learned to not become greedy .

but the reality there is a lot of people still doing that repeatedly , continuously. an addiction will never easy to be erased. the real lesson will come to you when you are completely broke already , how to stop it before happened? i don't know , better to looking for the answer from a professional.

Whom ever you ask the answer should be almost same. Because in gambling there is no partiality it will treat everyone in the same way. The only difference b/w experienced gambler and newbie. Expereince player knows how to handle the situation, but the newbie doesn't know this and loses money. Apart from this, we will not learn any new things in gambling. 

I don't think so. You learn from the mistakes yo've done in the past. Gambling is one thing that cam teach you that. A cocky newbie can be humbled if he loses a big amount. And that would make him better in the future.
This is one of the lessons on which a particular gambler would able to learn later on specially when he already suffer big loses in playing gambling he would able to realize later on about his mistakes which in next time games he would really able to know the things to do not to commit the same mistake again not only on gambling field to apply those learnings but also in real life situation too.

Well if you have an insider in the wwe, you will become a millionaire for sure, so one of the reason major websites Don't support is because of it being scripted from start to finish. Plus who still thinks its real? Do those people still exist? Lmao
I don't know whats the reason why do there are still people engage on this kind of betting.Knowing WWE is a hell scripted thing which if we do make bets its completely random and we wont really know who will won such fight.Having an inside information would really make you millionaire in an instant.
7119  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Xapo or Coinbase ? Which is better and Why ? on: August 10, 2017, 12:00:05 PM
I cant see any any reasons to trust these web wallets since you don't have the access on your private keys on your wallet which is really very very risky once their service collapse. I don't have any experience on using those wallets since I don't really trust on them specially on making big transactions or even keeping them even on a single day.
7120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: August 09, 2017, 04:43:30 PM
In trading we make a bet on coin after analyzing market, reading the past performance and the project it is based upon which makes it a mixture of luck, strategy and analysis. While gambling is pure luck and is just an enjoying activity. But trading is a serious business.

Trading is to make some money while gambling is to lose some money. Generally speaking, this is what both purposes are although in reality you can lose money in trading as well as get some money in gambling. No one know the future that is why choose the best possible thing to make money if you want to make money

You have time, and you don't need any urgent money and ready to invest then trading is a good choice. It will not give you instant profit, but you can make a good profit in a long time. Patience is very important you can not control tension means don't enter this field you will face many losses. And gambling is also not suitable. Becasue both will give you same tension.

If someone needed the money that bad, then Trading is not the one for someone, because just like what you have said, Trading is all about patience, since the prices of the coins might take some time before it pumps, when that time comes, you could make the profits that you are expecting on it, but if you are not going to be patient about it, then you could only make small profits.
Trading does not give instant money like gambling can, in gambling you can start even with a small
amount of money and that what attracts gamblers because most of them has a big dream to be rich while using
only a little amount to gamble.
And if being too lucky that dream can come true, trading needs to put some skills and time ,while in gambling when we have a extra money and were feeling lucky then we can play it on anytime to enjoy time or to kill some time. It may considered only same in risk on not havinv assurance to earn or to lose some.

Being lucky can help you on gambling but luck is not enough "reason" to  be considered as good trader.If trader doesnt have skill and strategy whole process will be a bit difficult and undesired. At the end the trading experience will result to lost all invested funds.. That's why you should have special money management options on different subjects.
Talking about on the money management options they do really differ since they are also on different fields too.Trading can really be considered as gambling if we don't really know on what we are doing and knowing trading it is not just a simple buy low sell high you would really need crucial thinking on this to make profitable trades. Gambling is just an another story since its mostly dependent on luck.
