Yes I believe what you said about the addiction is right but at the end of the day, it starts with you and ends with you and until, and unless you don't let it get to your head you are good to go.
Indeed, it is all about ourselves, we can do things to avoid gambling addiction, there are many ways but it depends on us if we are going to do such things. If you will gambling controls you then it would be a big problem, you should be the one who controls the game and not the gambling to control you.
5. What is the best advice that you can give to a gambler?
Never thought of becoming rich with gambling so that you won't hardly go after it.
That's true, never think that you could win from gambling, it is a full risky way of earning money, you may disappoint once you did not meet things you have expected. Failure comes from over expecting.

Online gambling and real-life casino become so addictive all over the world regardless of the situation we have right now (pandemic) and it becomes a problem for every people in a different country because of it makes them unconscious of the things around them because they only focused on playing, they may skip their meals, forget their responsibilities to their friends and family, forget to maintain their healthy lifestyle and change the way you live unlike before.

Online gambling can be more addictive than casino gambling because of the convenience and accessibility, you can play whenever and wherever you want, unlike casino gambling on which you still need to go outside and find any casino gambling. It is something that we can relate to in real life when talking about work, some people prefer to work online or have a home-based job because they don't need to drive just to be in the work, they are more comfortable working at home because they can things they want while working, they may eat or anything they want and the best thing with this is that they control their own time.

Both casino gambling and online gambling can be addictive depends on the person who will are going to gamble but one thing that can prevent this one is the self-control, you won't get addicted to gambling once you have good control over yourself, you should still know your priority while you are gambling, you should still know when to stop or continue the game and you should still know how to manage your money, once you still know these things you are still in control. Do not make the gambling controls you, make it better, you control the game.

Do you ever asked yourselves these things?
1. Which one do you prefer, Casino gambling or online gambling?
2. How much money are you willing to spend on gambling?
3. How do you manage your lose streak or win streak?
4. If you will have $1000, what game in the casino you are going to play?
5. What is the best advice that you can give to a gambler?

This is mine:
1. I will choose online gaming because of the convenience just like what I have said at the above, I always looking for the things that will make me comfortable when doing something, I am so tired of going outside and I don't like crowded people, I find online gambling suits my needs and wants.
2. I don't have specific value to spend but I will spend only my extra money, I know my priorities and they should be to be considered first before I gamble.
3. When I keep on losing three to five times in online gambling, I will take a rest for an hour then go back again but when talking about casino gambling, I quit the game and go home.
On the other side, whenever I have a winning streak, I will still keep on playing because of thinking that this is my lucky day and thinking that I will still win the game, I will only stop once I lose two times continuously.
4. I will play blackjack, this is one of my favorite games and I feel so lucky when playing it.
5. Reckless spending will cause a big problem, always manage to spend your money.

Automation is really useful for every people especially with huge companies and businesses but the bad things about AI are that people will lose their job if they were replaced by the robots, robots can finish the work efficiently and effectively that is why most of the company are accepting robots to work with them. Having robots will help the company but a huge problem for those unfortunate ones because they may lose their job if the robot will do their job, there is a disadvantage and advantage for this action and will give different effects for both parties.
724  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchanges are guilty of preventing Bitcoin mass adoption on: October 19, 2020, 10:24:24 AM
I get your point OP because every exchange handles the price of every cryptocurrency to be traded but for me, it wont change the fact that the exchange is one of our ways to know more about cryptocurrency, it is really important for every people who are having an asset and want to trade it with other cryptocurrency or USD, the fact that they are doing it, I can say that they are not preventing cryptocurrency for mass adoption but rather promoting it.
725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Cycling Thread on: October 19, 2020, 09:54:56 AM
Cycling was for a long time my favorite sport to watch and to bet on. I always adored the cyclists for their dedication, idealism, and willingness to suffer. And cyclists are tough as nails - I always laugh at footballers lying on the pitch, screaming and doing Hollywood with minor injuries Cheesy When there is some crash, the first thing these people do is to look for their bike, because they want to keep going and not lose any time.
That's true, that is how a good cyclist will act after having a crash, even though they are already injured with the out blood they will continue the race until they finish the line, that is why I always want to watch a bike race because it is very entertaining and I admired every cyclist and that is also one of my favorite sports to bet, I want to enjoy while having a bet, it would be a great feeling winning the bet and watching the race, maybe this what would you feel if you are also a cyclist.
726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hardware Cryptowallet with Fingerprint Authorization on: October 19, 2020, 08:58:20 AM
This is a good innovation for the crypto world, we are always looking for a safe and secured crypto wallet and me, a hardware wallet is the best one on which it is not prone to any hacker attacks. I am just worried about the price, this is much lower compared to another hardware wallet without fingerprint, it supposed to be higher because it has other feature which has none for another hardware wallet. I am wondering if this hardware wallet is secured one or not or maybe because it is new and it is already discounted.
727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you read the TOS of a gambling site? Honest answer please. on: October 19, 2020, 07:12:38 AM
As a not active gambler, sometimes, I do reading the ToS of every gambling site, there are some terms that we should understand first before playing, I dot this whenever my friend has invited me to do so, but most of the time whenever I try some gambling site, I don't read the ToS, I am so tired reading it all, maybe I just read one to two-line sand then I skipped it right away and begin playing lol.
I read it especially when it's a new casino to know their website rules, their terms and limitations as what to expect in their website  withdrawal and deposit amount,
Yeah, that's true, I am looking only for some help about the withdrawal and depositing of the amount o I won't get nervous whenever the money that has been transferred is bot yet coming because sometimes it takes an hour.
728  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has the properties of an employment opportunity on: October 19, 2020, 06:42:58 AM
Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is one way for us to earn money, there are many ways that we can do related to cryptocurrency, we can do staking, mining, investing, trading, and many more to earn money but always remember the risky of all these things.
Just that your educational certificate is not directly needed,and this is indirectly required in the way you present your post, because if your post is not matured, coordinated and sensible enough you may be banned, or placed on negative trust,so in one way or the other your IQ is needed to keep you moving.
I don't think that you are talking about bitcoin here because it is all about the bicointalk on which we are going to create quality posts to be paid, having a signature campaign first or getting bounty will make you earn from posting, you may also do some other services, you may visit it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0.

What else makes it different from an employment?
One thing that I want here is that I do not hassle with the time, there is a specific deadline for every work we have in our real-life u like to cryptocurrency or bitcointalk.
729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin difficult to understand on: October 17, 2020, 08:50:15 AM
Actually, cryptocurrency is really broad and it requires so much time before you understand it all, many people are still uneducated about what cryptocurrency is, there are also many people who don'tttt even try to understand it as well, bitcoin is very popular all over the world and there are many articles and website where we can understand the basics of cryptocurrency but there are still some people who don't know things about it because they are already contented about fiat currency and besides it is not taught in school days.
730  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The acceptance of cryptocurrency worldwide on: October 17, 2020, 03:34:31 AM
There are many things to be considered first before it happened and I think it will take so long years. The good thing about it, even though many countries do not accept bitcoin they still allowed some people to have a crypto transaction, like transferring funds, trading, and investing.
The future global currency will not be based on Bitcoin or any of the current alts in my opinion. It will be a centralized virtual currency operated by the banking elite.
That's true, of course they wouldn't choose the decentralized one because they can control it at all, banks and crypto are different ones and they are still on favor of banks because many people are using it and this is the tradition of many countries.
731  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: October 16, 2020, 04:59:50 PM
Many countries have suffered due to this pandemic which also resulted in inflation of any goods, just like with your country, our country the Philippines also faces problems like this because the price of many goods as of this day is now higher than before, it happened because some businesses and company need to recover and this is one of their way to do that but the problem with it is that many people are now jobless and they cannot afford costly products.
We should considered always any individual in our economy, we are all suffering from the pandemic what more to those who are not fortunate in life.
732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Do not store your wallet on the exchange, store it on your crypto wallet. on: October 16, 2020, 11:43:13 AM
Some people stored their funds on a crypto exchange, which is not a good thing to do like a good bitcoin. Some people believe that their cryptocurrency is much safer in exchange than their crypto wallet, this concept is a big no for me, well, in fact, I always read some articles about a hacked exchange every week or months. It is much safer to store our money in our crypto wallet but the problem with it is that it is also vulnerable to being stolen by hackers.

We can prevent this thing from storing our private and public keys.
Just key terms to remember:
Transferring of funds
Public key - allows you to transfer funds into it
Private key - allows you to transfer funds out to it.

Exclusively
Public key - publicly known and important for identification
Private key - this should be secret, excluded only for two parties which are the receiver and the sender.

If you lose your public key, you can still access it using your private key and if you lose your private key you cannot access your fund anymore. Storing your private key is a really important thing to do whenever you want to secure your wallet. Do not store it on your device because any device ate prone to hackers. Use any strategies except online.
733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some of the benefits of Bitcoin ... on: October 16, 2020, 10:47:06 AM
Bitcoin gives us a lot of help in our daily lives, as a normal student, I considered cryptocurrency as my source of income, it helps me to sustain my needs as a person, and as a student, that is how bitcoin help mine in my everyday life. It also helps me to install software that I need in my school. I don't want to install crack software because I have something important data on my laptop and I know that tow loading crack software or application can put your device at risk.
The bitcoin wallet is the one who holds our funds and not is responsible for the privacy of the transaction because the privacy of the transaction is in the cryptocurrency itself.
734  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin will replace oil and Gold on: October 16, 2020, 09:48:38 AM
I don't think that bitcoin will replace oil and gold, there are important things that both things can do in our country, without oil, we can have any transportation in our country, we cannot start any vehicle, we cannot do export and import which is good for the economy. Bitcoin is really good and valuable for everyone but it doesn't mean that it can replace both things. It is only good as an alternative currency for fiat currency. We can love without BTC but we cannot live without oil at all.
735  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Enpugh is enough time Truth about btc on: October 16, 2020, 08:08:52 AM
Are you serious man? You are making fun here, you should include first the article or the sources you read about that or it is just your conclusion from your own? How could a bank create a bitcoin if both things are separated from each other, as we all know bitcoin or any cryptocurrency is decentralized which is different from the real world of the physical bank?

Maybe you should do great research first before concluding something, you are changing the well-known information to many people without any proof.

Do not spam man, if you don't have something good topic to say then just comment on some topics.
736  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet on: October 16, 2020, 03:42:52 AM
Bitcoin becomes not user friendly because it is decentralized, it took so many months before I learn what is bitcoin and what can I do about it, as of now with my almost 1-year of experience in the crypto world, I cannot say that I already learned so many knowledge because the crypto currency is so broad and I know to myself that there are still so many things that I don't know about cryptocurrency but we all have good resources to learn about it, just explore yourself on the internet and search things you want to know.
What are 5 things you think are needed to make Bitcoin easier for people to use.
We can learn cryptocurrency and make it easier for people to use through these things:
1. You can apply for some crypto courses.
2. Engage yourself with motivation to learn.
3. You may also join some forums like this bitcointalk.
4. Watch some tutorials on youtube.
737  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another Elon Musk fake giveaway. on: October 15, 2020, 10:44:59 PM
It is another obvious scam on twitter, we can always see posts like this every day I wonder if there are still some people who fall for this scam. asking for bitcoins and promising that they will make it double or higher in return is an old trick of every scammer and very well known by many people, maybe only newbies will be the victim for this because of having lack of knowledge. I was a victim of this scam before when I was a beginner, thankfully I just lost a little amount of bitcoin which 0.001. I don't have much experience and knowledge at that time so I easily believe the offer.
738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Covid 19 on: October 15, 2020, 03:23:17 PM
Welcome back to the world of cryptocurrency mate, can we know what business is that? Many businesses fall because of the pandemic. The good thing is that your back in the crypto world, many people become more focused on cryptocurrency because of the things brought about by the pandemic. If you are looking for a good way of earning money in cryptocurrency and you are asking about investment, I can say that it is good, it is still just like before and this would be better if you invest in the long term to have more profit in the future.
739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Normal Game Setup - a success or a failure? on: October 15, 2020, 07:05:50 AM
There are still so many restrictions for every sport set up, we should still be careful to the pandemic because it has a big possibility to spread if the game will not be properly organized and without proper preparations. The sports event should always prioritize the safety of their players and fans, that is why they should still implement a strong social distancing for every seat of the audience, they should also provide a disinfectant area for every audience. Things will be good if we will prioritize the safety of our audience and at the same time giving them good entertainment.
740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Electrum update: A trader lost 1400 BTC on: October 15, 2020, 06:51:14 AM
The hacked amount of BTC wasn't responsible for the electrum, it is the user's mistake because he downloaded the older version of the electrum, he was holding a huge amount of money so he should be careful about doing such things. He should check the first official website of the electrum if they posted things about it. Do not do something without doing some research about it.
He downloaded a pishing software and it is not any responsibility for the electrum.
 
I wonder how a person who is holding 1400BTC did not secure properly his money, that is a huge amount of money so always be careful when doing such things that may put your money at risk.
