I think investing is more risky than gambling because most of investing websites are just scam, but in gambling you have better chances to make your bitcoin grow. How about you guys what do you think?

Let me explain to you the differentiate between Trading and Gambling, In Trading, once you do trade it needs an effort to monitor it from time to time you must be updated for the coins swinging for you to find out on which of them you are going to sell it or buy it means skills of analysis and patience is very useful in trading, while in Gambling you don't need those things that trading has.
They do really have differences and you already mentioned and we all know that trading does really requires skills and knowledge for us to sustain or make profits with it which really differs on gambling which you will need extreme luck for you to able to win.

No one really knows if hes dead or not since satoshi doesn't even reveal himself on the public and same as his invention bitcoin hes truly anonymous and until now even his shadow cant be seen.How can we recognize on his status if we doesn't even saw his appearance?
7603  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you manage ur emotions? on: February 11, 2017, 05:45:52 PM
This topic is interesting, after some losses in the beginning, I decided that the most appropriate strategy for me and my emotions is to hold. As they said, investing more than you can lose only makes you lose, I started with very little and from the moment I felt comfortable I was increasing, so I was not affected by my emotions.
Perhaps, you did a great job!
That is one way to overcome our fear in losing money, we have to lose first then after a while acceptance and moving forward should be next.
Little by little I did same thing, I am now holding what I can afford for now and not to push myself too much so no worries in my part if the market goes down.
Acceptance and experience which would really mold us to be better traders and same as you said we would really learn little by little along the way and we would able to handle or control our emotions because this thing will surely affect us if we don't put attention into it.
7604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: February 11, 2017, 05:25:11 PM
Well yeah we all know it that if you put too much time on gambling even if you are winning almost every game in the gambling,
There will always be a time that you would certainly.
Gambling is really design for its players to lose in the long run thats the thing we should really expect when were playing gambling and we should not aim always on making money because there are times that we are lucky to make money but we should know on when to quit and secure profits.
7605  Economy / Economics / Re: You should never trust banks on: February 11, 2017, 05:07:32 PM

Banks in fact have the power to close bank accounts at any time, but the worst thing about it is that banks are heavily influenced by governments. I have seen cases of banks that have been restricted by governments so that such banks would not allow users to withdraw money for a long time.
That is true. One of the most I hate whenever I want to withdraw my money to buy something is there is always a limit, so worst thing is you have to go to a bank to withdraw over the counter because of a limit per day. So, you have no choice if you need more than the limit, no choice but to suffer in their line while waiting for your number. Such a waste of time.

Yes, it is very inconvenient. But those who use the services of banks, there is simply no other choice. Bitcoin is more convenient to use
but in bitcoin we cant still be assure to be safe on our money it might be the one of the best investment and storage as of now but we should really not forget the risk on it.We do still trust banks no matter what specially on the security of our local fiat money and in the case of OP for sure he have done something wrong why bank did such action on him regarding to his account.
7606  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: February 11, 2017, 04:28:46 PM
I would prefer to invest my majority of money in different products instead of investing in a single product where there is a risk of loosing everything at once if that particular product fails in future and its always good to diversify your investments in order to reduce the risks for the future so even if one product fails you can recover your losses from another one.
That is of course, the rule of the thumb - never put all your eggs in one basket. It is saver and often more profitable when investments are broken down and spread across many products, but that is not to say diversification makes all investments equal. Some investment opportunities offers better prospects in terms of security and ROI, etc and those are deserving of higher priority.
Diversifying your money and spreading out on many investments would really be a good move and same as you said priority would really matter since not all investments are equal because there are investment which is really good and could give potential good profits thats why we need to take the opportunity.
7607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: February 11, 2017, 04:01:04 PM
What are some the more idiotic and stupid mistakes that you know you shouldn't have made but did anyway. Yes this includes other none gambling stuff like sending btc to the wrong address. I'm interested to find out the stupid things other people do.  Roll Eyes

The worst thing I've ever done in the gambling was when I played dice game, I know I'm already winning the games but still I'm pursuing myself to continue it because aside from I enjoying I felt that I can't be lost by that day, but all of a sudden I typed the wrong amount of betting instead of 0.03BTC, I didn't double check it, that it was 0.3BTC which I choose to bet then Boom! then it shocked me actually when I saw, it was 0.3BTC. Sad
but i think i made so many mistakes for so many times and for every time i lose a lot of money. and specially in very early stage of my gambling when i start gambling, and i think the reason behind this was that i was very new immature and having no experience in gambling. there was no planing and strategy for my gambling and therefore i usually make more mistakes in gambling.
Not only you but most of us do commit mistakes since we are just a newbie on gambling we do really be blinded by our greediness or eagerness on making money out of gambling which isnt true at all because we may saw that results are fast but gambling is really designed for most of us to be a loser on the end.
7608  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Need your suggestion, may start a BTC lending service on: February 11, 2017, 03:28:11 PM
If you are tending to make a lending business the no.1 rule should be asking always for collateral,if theres none theres no loan and dont really be too kind because here on online world you cant be sure to the people you are dealing with and speaking of money scammers are always there so better watch out.
7609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this man addicted to gambling? on: February 11, 2017, 02:57:03 PM
My close friend is 50 years old. He's never been addicted to anything throughout his life. His friend made a poker website and now he keeps playing there a lot. he also uses some free tickets to tournaments he gets from betcoin.ag signature campaign. He plays almost every day for a few hours. And he became more nervous in general. But he doesn't think he's addicted and his argument for that is that he can stop playing for a day or two (that's true) and he doesn't spend his own money on it at all. Would you call such a man addicted?

If I will judge whether someone is addicted to something or not, I will want to know the output of that venture he is currently undertaking, in the case of this your friend if he has been losing and even running into debt then he is definitely addicted to that but since he is not using his own money and maybe he is even winning then I say he is not addicted afterall whether he is working or gambling, the end result is to make money and if he is getting that, then to me that should not be an issue whatsoever.
It wouldnt really be an issue at all as long he do enjoy on playing poker without compromising his own money then i could say that hes not addicted but i think he does play because of enjoyment and remember hes already old and should not be stressed out on some other things.
7610  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best practices to do or trade while bitcoin is dropping on: February 11, 2017, 02:11:18 PM
Yesterday while the Bitcoin is dropping, I trade almost half of it to ETH. So I made a few profits.
So now that I have ETHs, what are the traders best practices when bitcoin drops.

Should I wait and stay it as ETH until the Bitcoin price become bullish again? Or to trade the ETH to another ALTcoin?
#advicepls

Its up to you actually, if you stay or not. Because for me if the price goes down I will surely buy bitcoin particularly now, I will prioritize buying bitcoin, altcoin is just secondary to me. Because has more higher value than any altcoins. so at at least if ever the value get increase you can sell some few of it for you to enjoy anyway the fruit of your labor.
Bitcoin is the most valuable among all and no altcoin could able to surpass that which means we should mainly focus on this one.Agree, it does really depend on a person if he tends to stay or decide to panic sell when bitcoins price tend to go down and as we all know bitcoins price do normally recover after a certain crash.
7611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: February 10, 2017, 07:16:52 AM
I am sure whatever you called it, strategy, pattern, magic way, so anything. There is no strategy on this kind of game. Moreover all of the dice game in bitcoin online website casino is digital game that move randomly or (who knows) move by an admin there that control your game.
I think they are lose in dice says the game is controlled by the admin before there is clear evidence, I often see it. you can use martingale strategy stop if you've 10x won when the roll.
Admins or devs could really affect or manipulated dice rolls but people will surely find it out and becomes too suspicious for them and if they got caught then they will surely lost players on their site and thats really a sad thing.Better to be fair at all if you are a casino or dice site owner,provably fair should be the rule no. 1. Dice game strategy?There no such exist.
7612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is definition gambling in your mind? on: February 10, 2017, 06:49:11 AM
Many people said the gambling is just a game and another people said it is Investment. How do you think?  Roll Eyes
Many of us had their own meaning when it comes to gambling, some of them gambling is for fun, some says its a kind of investment that needs a smart way while doing gamble, and some says gambling is bad. For me its up you of how are you gonna treat it, just important is your not hurting anyone and gives you happiness it can be consider that gambling is good.
That's the right thing to do, regardless of the outcome, we should maintain the fun. We win and we lose, it's normal in gambling, if you do not have the skills to win in the long run, you cannot consider gambling as investing activity. Don't be blind with you performance and keep tracking it so you will know if you are profitable or not, if not, you have to do appropriate actions to limit your loses to continue gambling.
Gambling should really be treated as for fun only and we do have commonsense that we could able to identify if we are winning or lossing but we shouldnt mind that thing because gambling is for entertainment and we should think that we pay for that entertainment we seek.
7613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Is Your Worst Moment in Gambling? on: February 10, 2017, 05:55:57 AM
Though I prefer to gamble with small amount the circle around me insisted to go for a bigger amount, so that can earn good. Without going with my decision and moving based on others decision because of the greed made me loss the entire amount in single event which I earned little by little from several events having very low odds.
risking small amounts on playing gambling would somehow lessen the risk of getting broke in the end on playing gambling and instead of listening to others its better to play on our own.Greedines does really comes no matter what because its part of our human nature.
7614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: February 10, 2017, 05:06:41 AM
When do you stop? Do you have a daily limit or something?

If you know and notice that your are winning the games you stay away from it little by little, bet at small amount then exit. Because if you don't, it will be pity and wasted.
Pity and wasted is the common thing that do happen on most gamblers because they hardly control theirselves on stopping specially when they are already on profits or winning.Greediness will surely come out after this thats why we should discipline ourselves to prevent those winnings on lossing back.
7615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: February 10, 2017, 04:47:42 AM
bitcoin gives advantages not shared by other currency and may bitcoin look cool digital era. I prefer bitcoin prices are determined by supply and demand was nice for short-term investments

Bitcoin has many advantages is the value of bitcoin is really when compared to other currencies, when i compared with other investment many time, but through bitcoin i can make huge profits. Bitcoin has changed my life with way it is moving now because the price of bitcoin of bitcoin is really bumping.
In my opinion, the interesting part of this is bitcoin advanced technology applied in his system.
We are free to manage our own funds without government intervention.
Yeah, I agree with both of you if the price of the bitcoin this is great for investment.
Bitcoin does really have many purposes not only your own bank but also serve or good as an investment on both short or long terms and thats why lots of people do really love to engage into it because of these characteristics.
7616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? on: February 10, 2017, 03:34:31 AM
Not that I have that many (I wish!), but how would you store >100 Bitcoins? The easy answer is just to say "create 1 offline/cold wallet and put them all in". But what about risk management? IE how do you store a very large value of coins while managing risk against hackers, forgetting passwords, the obvious need for at least 1 hot wallet, portability, easy of use, house fires, EMP bomb's (lol), or if a foreigner had to flee a country while taking no assets etc etc.

I'm looking for real responses and ideas. Please keep the trolling to a minimum Tongue
There is an old advice for your problem, " don't put all your eggs in one basket". 100 bitcoin is very big amount to keep in one computer or hardware. Better split into some parts and  keep it in many wallet.
Or maybe you can trade your 100 BTC for property in some countries with good price. There is a man from other country bought a villa in my country bitcoin.
We can still put our bitcoins on a single wallet its either on a hardware wallet and keep them securely and with that i dont think it can be hacked so easily.Wow,thats a nice thing that someone bought a villa on just using his bitcoin and i do agree 100 btc is already a huge amount specially on my country.
7617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we have a bitcoin day? on: February 09, 2017, 04:16:31 PM
It is truly very good idea of celebrating the Bitcoin Day but keeping the halving Day as the bitcoin day is not good as Halving Day dont come yearly and i will suggest to keep the Day which comes Every Year so like this we can fix the date of every year as Bitcoin Day just like Feb 14 is Celebrated as Valentine Day. Like this more People will come to know about Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency
We should really have a bitcoin day and most users here do really love the suggestion here because we are all bitcoin users here and we should really celebrate this yearly event on which bitcoin was being created.We should remember the days on which bitcoin was created on yearly basis so that awareness would really be spread.
7618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Scam indicators? on: February 09, 2017, 03:51:27 PM
Being scammed in one way or another seems inevitable, what are the clear indicators that a legit-looking service is actually a big scam of some sorts? Is this forum a good place for info to detect a fraudulent scheme?
Scam is normal and do exist either on both online and offline world. Clear indications? Then you should set your own checklist on seeking a scam and a legit one.There are many types of investment actually.This forum isnt a good place infact there are still lots of scammers but mostly people do learn here on how to detect one.
7619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: February 09, 2017, 03:31:49 PM
We all love the easy quick money, if you don't agree with that, then i love easy quick money. How to get that?
The only possible answer for this is do some gamble. Just think to taking all money in the table make people don't want to stop playing.
Greed. This is why gambling so addicting, because human are greed.
Easy money and  being greedy on money will make us loose the more we greed on that thing the more risk we can take every one loves to make easy money the real question is, Is everyone willing to pay the price? Everyone Loved to take all money playing gambling we all want to take the price but we don't know that we are getting too much on that involving too much on that thing.
But I have saw that even those people are addicted to gambling who do not win money in gambling and who know well that they are not that much expert to win some money in gambling so with that I think they are gambling and addicted to gambling because of some enjoyment involved in gambling.
Yes some entertainment is involved in attracting people to gambling but it also involve the chase of money some people who lose again and again and still they gamble because they are chasing their lost money and they looks at other gamblers who earn then they think that they will also win one day in gambling like them.
Those aims cant really be avoided on most gamblers who do play because motives on making money on gambling is very high specially on our expectations but as we know gambling is designed for its players to lose money and if you are lucky enough you might won decent profits but mostly on rare cases.
7620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you know game like pusoy or tongits? on: February 09, 2017, 03:19:01 PM
I am a Filipino, and I would like to say that I love this game very much! This was the first game I ever learned in cards and this is our favorite past time when I was in high school and college. So, this would bring back great memories if I could play it again with some friends online. Someone make it happen please!
Seems like a very enjoyable type kind of card game since there are lots of filipino are commenting on this one. If there would be a gambling site owner would put this game then it would be a great time for those who know how to play this game.Tongits is very a rare name for me.
