Gambling is like drugs, though there's a law about it and you should follow it. People are still going to keep on abusing it even the minors. There are a lot of countries that has young gamblers and mostly in rural places because they think that it is the one that will save them from poverty, so while they are still young they gamble.
It is not a drugs or illegal drugs if what you meant, gambling is not prohibited but illegal drugs are. Kids can gamble anytime they want if they have the idea about bitcoin online gambling but that is not the responsibility of the site anymore, they do not have the capacity to verify, therefore parents should be monitoring their underage children.

Kids nowadays were too smart that they were able to do works and provide for their family living, so I think they can also play gambling online or even actual gambling, Young people now were also thrilled to play especially when there are rewards especially if its money, so I think its fine as long as they will not let their studies failed.


Gambling is for matured people, when kids learn to gamble there is a big possibility that it will affect his studies in a negative way, usually kids are not good in controlling their emotions and once they are hook up with gambling, it is expected that they will spend more time in gambling than their studies. Sad to see kids who are addicted in gambling, instead of schooling is their priority, they change it to gambling.
7302  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin money? on: April 18, 2017, 02:40:37 AM
It is a relatively new technology, and with many aspects that need to be better defined. But for me it is clear the fact that Bitcoin is money. In addition to being decentralized, and having a more efficient issuance than centralized currencies, there are thousands of people using Bitcoin every day, be it to store value, or to pay bills and buy things.
Bitcoin is very precious to us hence it is clearly money, an internet money to be exact, but this money is different from fiat where it inflates over time, bitcoin is not subject to inflation and in fact it could give us a fortune when the price will dramatically increase due to the increasing demand.
Let's be more optimistic with bitcoin value and futuristic as well, the future is bright so it's good to have at least 1 bitcoin now.
7303  Economy / Economics / Re: USD vs BTC on: April 18, 2017, 01:44:18 AM
Till now bitcoin is not much popular than USD because USD is almost known in very country and every people know about usd,but in case of bitcoin only people who are at online only know about that but government accepting bitcoin may increase popularity of bitcoin

I'm not sure that bitcoin will someday be as popular as the dollar. They do not need to be compared. Bitcoin is an alternative coin. Not everyone will use bitcoin. It's all about trusting
Yeah, and I don't think we can have the same trust like how people trust fiat or USD for our bitcoin, right now the number of users is relatively low compared to the users of USD which I believe the most popular legal currency in this world. Bitcoin is a success already and there is no need to think of beating USD as in the end we will need fiat to convert our bitcoins.

Two easy games to predict:

Cleveland and Spurs wins

Spurs will cover the handicap, but Cleveland probably won't
Clevelend are not good in covering the spread but the over is easy since they are both good team offensively, it's in the 4th quarter now and the Cavaliers are having a double digit lead, I hope they can keep up the lead but I guess my over 210 is quite insured in this game. Thanks to the good shooting first half because they gave me a total of 121 points.
7305  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Currency on: April 17, 2017, 11:57:21 AM
Yes it's totally true that bitcoin is becoming a global currency, and bitcoin are now starting to be popular and known by many people. And some person are really treating bitcoin as a global currency because they believe that bitcoin can do such a thing.
to me  think bitcoin is already a global currency, because the user of bitcoin are available everywhere in the world, therefore we can clrealy say that bitcoin is a universal currency, hope that the users of bitcoin will increase more and more in future.
yeah you are right that bitcoin is already a global currency we can buy anything from anywhere around the world through bitcoin so we can say that bitcoin is already global currency.
We have the same thoughts. I think bitcoin is already a global currency because we can use it anywhere and any time particularly on big countries like USA and China on their online transaction. However in other countries, bitcoin is not allowed because they thought that it is being used by criminal.
We are into the right path, we are growing as days passes and that is a great sign for success. It is a global currency since it is globally accepted, there are no boundaries as even rich and poor countries has equal chance to enjoy the benefit of bitcoin. Further, the plus factor is that it is not only a currency but an investment as well.
7306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how strong is bitcoin really? on: April 17, 2017, 11:24:17 AM
bitcoin is built with a strong foundation and system comes with strong security so it is not easy for a thief to take over, the current weakness in bitcoin as possible about legality
Even Hacker is difficult to attack bitcoin network, becasue It does not has data center. so We do not uave to worry about bitcoin has strong security.
I think you're wrong because if the hackers cannot hack any related to bitcoin then what are the past incidents that happened? Like the blockchain has been hacked a thousands of bitcoin just got stole but the hacker give it back and also the hacked exchangers got hacked last year and stole a lot of bitcoins also. There is no safe in internet and anything can be bypass and hacked even bitcoin.
That's why bitcoin is very risky but still people are trusting it, we learn from experience and we are getting ready for possible hacks. This days, the hacking incidents has been lessened and that means the crypto currency community are getting stronger, one of the reason is that we are surrounded with smart people both (good and bad) but majority are good people and they will protect the interest of bitcoin because they are also making money on it.
7307  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: April 17, 2017, 07:28:08 AM
I used to gamble without any limit and lost some serious amount of Bitcoins which I cannot afford to loose. Recovered it through trading little by little and now I just have on sports that too rarely on some tournaments.
It's very tough to get out of the gambling addiction but it's ok now.
good for you mate that you able to at least lessen your risk and cope up inside trading , if you can continue doing this you will be able to gain good earnings and regarding to some sports game boxing and ufc are those who can give some interest too.
That is a good attitude to have, trading is the best answer to recover your losing in gambling, you have a matured thinking and I can say you will succeed with that kind of mindset. Betting is a hard job to do as only few of the gamblers population are successful in making money, most of us are losers that is why now I am just doing it for sole entertainment.
7308  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: April 17, 2017, 06:42:36 AM
Money is needed by all without exception. If you happen a situation when you urgently need a large sum of money, then either you don't know how to count your budget and will always experience such problems, or you want to buy something that does not deserve it. Is my opinion.

Budgeting is a simple yet clever way to combat any unexpected need for money like accidents (knock on wood) and the likes. If you have that little something that you keep off the shelf then you will not have to worry about borrowing money or hacking some of your items for cash.
Some people don't really have that choice though.  If you're too poor to be living with spare income or even disposable income, budgeting becomes very difficult and you'd still find yourself commonly in desperate situations.
I have been in the same situation and that was really hard when your income is not even enough to spend for your daily needs. However, we should not end our life to that status in life only, there are still more rooms for us to grow and we have to work harder in order to improve our life and we will not be in desperate need of money anymore.
7309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: April 17, 2017, 05:56:55 AM
The only thing that I can advice you is to take a self control. You must cut all the strings between you and gambling or much better to diverse your time to other things. As you said you always start gambling with a small amount of your money but ends up losing it all. You must set goals or lose point so that you will not get rekt.

Yeah, right, because if we are going to try some other thing where we could earn money in an easy way but is much safer in gambling, then we could probably quit gambling step by step, and we will just woke up one day, we quitted gambling already. Because in my opinion, being addicted on gambling is not really worth it, it is not bad to gamble as long as you have control in yourself, because if you don't have any, then you are just going to lose more than you could never imagine.
Once you are addicted already, you cannot enjoy gambling anymore, the urge to gamble is always in your mind and your life is not well balance when you are in the situation. For gamblers, we have to be very careful also despite we are having fun since gambling is a risky game and we have to avoid ourselves to be addicted, think of the risk to manage it.
7310  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: April 17, 2017, 05:43:25 AM
If you want to get a big profit per week you should have big amount to get 0.1 btc per week it is really hard if you are trying to get them from cloudmining or investing on altcoins

Don't even mention cloud mining as they are going to bust your capital for it. It will be fine if you are going to get this amount by working very hard for having a lot of source of income, combining your daily job plus other source from bitcoin can be a good combination for earning per week. And there's no secret for it unless you will work hard.
Yes all true ,there's no secret to earn 0.1 BTC a week you can possibly earn more than on that if you are doing the workout it in good investments. Cloudmining isn't profitable and it will need you a capital better if big because you can't feel your profit .
Good if you learn how to manage your money and you do it with trading, investing takes time for return and sometimes you will be scam if you did not make a good research prior to putting your money. Most of the people I know are making good money through trading so I guess it is really profitable, we just have to learn how to do it and master the art of trading.

7312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can u lose with gambling? on: April 16, 2017, 04:42:00 AM
Did you considered also gambling has taken all those precious time you have ,the days and nights? Do you even realize that time you've spent in gambling will never get back? It's not all about the money you waste, but how much time that needs to be used in a certain thing you must do. I don't want to lose anything and something in gambling again.

True, we can lose our valuable time too if gambling became our daily habit and we can't control ourself. When someone start ignoring other stuffs than gambling, there's a big chance for them to lose his job as well. There're still plenty of things that may be gone if gambling already became our main thing. Frankly, this forum is the best place for us to read other's experiences and thoughts about gambling. So, it can give a good warning to most of the members before they faced such bad condition.
I'd say that "wasting" time is actually fine.  People do a lot of things which are pointless in reality but they are enjoyable and that should be a point in itself.
It's  not called as wasting time if you are getting the fun, like in gambling despite the fact that we are losing we still cannot consider that activity we are doing as wasting time, as long as we are entertain in gambling that means we are having a quality time.
7313  Economy / Economics / Re: Spending Bitcoins on: April 16, 2017, 04:03:28 AM
To grow the adoption of bitcoin we need people spending it as a daily currency.
In my country there is not much I cant buy with bitcoins.
Granted not a lot of retailers accept BTC yet but with all the services available now they dont need to.
A bitcoin debit card can be very handy.

Nowadays if I need to pay a bill then I can pay any bill via a site called livingroomofsatoshi

Please list any reasons why you could not use bitcoin for day to day expenses and maybe we can find a way.

One reason i can pointout why  i cant use bitcoin in daily expenses is maybe the bitcoins is still developing in our country and bitcoins is still not well knowned and appriciate by other people here in my country.
Well, if you are not living in a develop countries like big countries you cannot fully enjoy spending your bitcoin. For me, I am already satisfied with my exchange since I can easily cash out my money and use it to buy things that I need, also when there are only few opportunity to spend, I was able to use my money in investing or trading which gives me a good return.
7314  Economy / Economics / Re: Which one is good, trading or investing? on: April 16, 2017, 03:41:54 AM
what is youre mean about bitcoin trading and investment trading
i think is not diference, trading goal is same investment get return

trading is buy low hold and coin incraese sell
Trading and investing is almost the same but the difference is the span of your holdings of a coin. Trading is more on like short term because you want to make profit in every kind of situation that you see in the market while investing is more on like long term because you want to make a lot of profit in longer period of time and you don't care for the current price or news right now because you are looking further.

Yeah i couldn't agree more with you dude, trading depends with the current price, when the price in the low level and possible to increase again in near time it's best time to buy. And sell it when the price high. In trading that's all doing in short time rather than investing. Different both investment and trading is Investment work for long time and trading in short time. In my opinion if have skill in trading better choose it because it give more profit.
Trading can give you more money with a small amount of capital while investing you need to start with a decent amount of money to gain a decent return. Both are risky therefore once should choose that will fit his skills, most people here are risk takers and they are willing to take bigger risk for bigger rewards and like me, I choose trading over investing with my current financial status in life.
7315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: April 15, 2017, 11:21:41 PM
Ceveland Cavaliers 109-108 Indiana Pacers

The first game was over and Cleveland went ahead 1-0 in the first game but there was another 8 seconds in the last minute. Paul George wanted to rust or if he had gone in, he would have fouls.


Lebron James finished the double double again and the free throws were not good this time. We watched a good match.

That was indeed a good match, 1 point game means that was a very thrilling game. Playoffs is more fun than the regular season so it's good to bet on this time also, luckily I wrongfully press the Cavaliers ML instead of point spread and that feels great even if the payout is really not that big.
I was not able to watch the game live since that early in the morning in our place and I'm still sleeping that time but I'll be watching the replay.
7316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? on: April 15, 2017, 11:07:37 PM
I was just trying to earn 5-10$ extra money in a week. But when i understood the potencial, everything was changed. Bitcoin and altcoins are now investment instrument for me.
That's very possible to earn that amount, I earn more than that daily so I believe you can also do that. In the crypto world there's a lot of opportunities where you can maximize your profit and that all depends on how smart you are and on how to dedicate your time with working or investing.
7317  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: April 15, 2017, 01:24:21 PM
Dreams - will remain empty if you sit and do nothing to implement them. If you want to become rich, become one. And bitcoin is a very good tool for achieving such goals
yes you need to remain too much active if you want to make money from bitcoin. you need to invest some of your money in trading alt coin and from there you can get a good profit, but you must need to take active part in trading alt coin.
bitcoin is a good method to get rich. true, you can not be rich just to relax you have to work hard you can take advantage of the ease of getting bitcoin to be rich

There are people already who got rich with bitcoin, thus it is true we have a chance to be rich, however that depends on our effort and performance as we need to be very smart to take advantage on the new system. By holding alone with a decent capital, it gives already a chance to be rich, the value that we are seeing now is still very cheap, we can hold for longer time and when progress continues, we will certainly become rich.
7318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: April 15, 2017, 12:49:43 PM
When I already doubled my bankroll it is already a good momentum for me. I will going to save the half of it for my assurance that I don't have nothing to lose.

And with the remaining half, I'm going to save another half of it and will going to keep on using the half of it for gambling.
You are playing safe but it will not be safe all the time, the best way to treat your bankroll is you count your winning once you session is done already. That is being realistic and with that attitude, it will make you matured in gambling, when you set a bankroll, you also need to ensure that you have a target of winning and no matter what will happen you have to quit when you hit it already.
7319  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can you think , better time for trading ? on: April 15, 2017, 12:32:20 PM
My thoughts is in line with what you have said, assets should be bought when there are low in price and sold when there are high in price. The Best time to buy altcoins especially those that are low in price is now because with little Satoshi you can get them in quantity and coverts it again when there appreciate.
it is just as clear as that, make proper speculations, buy when the price is low and sell when high. from speculations now bitcoin has higher tendency of getting to $2000 before august.you can trade along.



in bitcoin history none of the speculations seems worked perfectly. Instead of doing this research just buy the bitcoins and put it into the cold storage. It will become a double or triple the amount within few years.
I don't think we may reach 2000$ peak before August. hope for the best.
but i think we can judge and speculate from the interest of the people. as we can see that in present time the interest of the people is to buy more and more bitcoin on the other side the users of bitcoin are also increasing from time to time, therefore we can expect that the price of bitcoin will increase more and more, therefore it will be a good decision to buy and hold bitcoin.
When speaking of price, I'm sure we can see more and more increases in the future to come, we are not seeing the best price yet and we will never gonna be panic if we are investing for long term. Bitcoin is the best invention ever, I am new to the crypto but I see how people adopted with it, check how the growth rate of bitcoin and you will be amaze the rate of increase.
7320  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I quit trading on: April 12, 2017, 05:24:39 AM
Trading is risk and risk is not for everyone, not everyone can handle that so I can understand this decision. If you want to be successful trader you have to put a lot in that and be determined to succed and make profit. This also brings a lot of stress and disappointments so many people quit.
Yes trading is not for everyone because some of us always wants an easy money earning field and they think that trading is like that but they didn't know the risk of trading where they can easily lose their money if they are greedy in choosing a coin or investing in altcoins. If you want trading then determination and hard work is a must.
Trading is for the people who have passion on it, I like to be a successful trader also but I know how hard the journey to be successful. I believe if we will work hard we can learn to master trading and the good thing with trading is when you will be able to master it already, you are gonna make constant profit, unlike in gambling that you are relying on your luck most of the time.
