Gambling is not wrong, till one getting addicted to it as well becoming more greedier upon winning few events. Also it is wrong when considered it an source for living rather than using it for fun with small earning as well loss.
I agree with you, gambling is just simply business and entertainment. The people who abused themselves for not using gambling in the right way is making themselves wrong with gambling. Because they are not knowing what is their priorities instead of more important things to cover up first, they are making gambling as their first love. I do not think that it is wrong to gamble because the adults can make there own decisions whether they want to gamble or not, nobody is forcing them. If you cannot control your self then it is wrong for you to gamble. Yeah those people who decide to gamble are grown and old enough to be thinking for them selves if they want to gamble they should. If they are then end up wrecking there lives because of it it is also one them selves. We have our own will on all thing and decision that weve made as you said we are old enough and we know on the things might happen when we intend to play gambling and thats being wrecked when you play excessively on it. Gambling isnt bad but if you already compromise many things because of it then its already considered . But maybe just on yourself alone because we have different experience with gambling and basically it should be played for fun only but some people cannot really stick with that and they are those who suffers the consequences of irresponsible gambling. People do differ in any ways and you were right gambling should be treated as an entertainment rather than a source of income or profits because its really impossible to happen , as you said most people who suffers are those people who treat gambling as a money maker and keep playing and do excessive betting which is really bad thing to do in gambling. |

keep calm the price just move to $630, i guess still far to hope the price may reach $ 700 in october because i see after price start rise many trader has sell their coins.
Correct, price of bitcoin start to move now but just as expected traders would surely sold their coins on this point and would expected on bitcoins price to drop again on $600 mark but still i have high hopes that it would somehow increase more and continuing its rally. |

If Bitcoin was made illegal by your government and the punishment was very bad, would you still use it, would you still openly support it?
so far, luckily there has been no laws about using bitcoin. so i am glad that i don't have to decide about this question in reality and it is only hypothetical for me so far. but in this hypothetical situation, i think i will still continue using bitcoin, even if it were illegal to do it. but if i wanted to start using it and it was illegal i don't think i would have! Thats why OP is just assuming regarding on this situation which if bitcoin would be banned by government. YOu are right this situation is hypothetical but still for sure many people would tend to use it even it would be banned since bitcoin is anonymous they cant easily catch those people who disobey the rules of government. |

whoever bought and held bitcoins -congratulations on making 5% profit in one month  5 september price-608$ 11 october price-636$ and I have a strange feeling that it would be rising more thats a guaranteed 5% profits for 1 month as you say, same as your i do have a feeling that it would continue its rising price rally im not sure but it would somehow increase its price gradually. Lets wait for upcoming days or months on what would be the price. |

I also feel very difficult to leave the gambling we already addiction. but still no way to leave the gambling. you can do a new hobby more interesting so that you will forget gambling
If you have nothing to do and just gamble all day long, then it will really be hard for you to leave that gambling addiction because your attention and focus are still at gambling - you have no diversions. It is really better to go outside and socialize with people and maybe do some volunteer work for charity and that way, you will get to meet new friends and enjoy life outdoor. thats a good advise making your time worthy and placing your mind into something profitable and not just thinking about going back to play gamble again, its an addiction thats really hard to removed from our minds specially when something is really engaging us thinking that we really knows what we are doing trying to defeat the house. as long as we have fixed and determined decision to stop gambling for good, then there is no reason for us to finally get rid of gambling to our lives. I can say this personally because I just stopped heavy gambling and just play sometimes with the amount that I personally know that could not affect my entire life if I will lose it. Correct as long as you have the will to quit gambling for good then for sure you would really do it , Its all depend on your mind and willingness to stop gambling if you really want to quit you could really quit anytime you want. |

How to win & not lose - Yeah it doesn't happen with gambling, that's all you need to know. Stop right there & give up even thinking like that. If it was possible there wouldn't be any casinos or bookmakers becsuse they'd all be bankrupt.
Correct if theres a way on how to gamble without any lose then for sure there would be no casinos at all because they would all go bankrupt because they are just giving free money to their players. Safe or no lose in gambling doesnt exist at all. |

Yes we gone to a restaurant for my boyfriend's first bitcoins. And after I joined the bitcoin world and get my first coins I spend it for a sweater that I bought in online shop.
That's great to hear that you bought physical product using bicoin directly, can you share the name of website from where you bought and do they have any shipping charges? They would surely have high shipping chargers especially when you are on a far country and its not ideal to buy their its much better to buy directly on your country when its already available but as of now if its not available then lets wait for the future. |

I only earn around net 5 usd worth of btc a day from some small investments and doing the posts here and some faucets, but am slowly slowly trying to grow the investments. I would ideally like to get to earn 60 usd a a day, that would pay all our living expenses in this Euro country as life here is expensive, food, rent and bills is costly here.
That is great, i hope that you can achieve your target. Would you mind sharing what you planning to do to achieve that? Would like to find out more ways on how to grow my psasive income too. If you are looking to grow your income then you can offer services and get paid in bitcoins but I think to make it bit faster the best choice is to invest in altcoins where you can make descent profits regularly. thats right if you make some success with trading alts you will able to gain a lot and grow your bitcoin from trading them. Altcoin trading is getting more popular day by day and people are switching their investments from bitcoin trading to altcoin trading as everyone is aware that it is the place to make quick profits. Since I dont have services that I can offer, I'm just relying on trading bitcoin to alt coin. But my problem is I dont have much investment in trading. I can say that my knowledge is enough to gain much btc if I have more investment. Its still okay if you dont have any investments but still you have a good mind to earn bitcoin in other way. Not all have skills regarding on the skilsl that are commonly needed here on bitcointalk but still we could earn money in many way. |

So guys, after 2 years of trading i am going to stop. (unless i have full time to trade, which i currently don't)
I have calculated all my trades on the various platforms i have used in the last couple years.
Deposited: 47BTC (roughly)
Withdrew: 40BTC (roughly)
Overall i am happy with the results, i would pay 7 BTC anyday for what i have learned so far.
Now the question is: what the fuck do i do now with my money.
Put it in a cold storage and forget about it for some time! Do not invest, since there is no real and fair opportunity to invest. There are all scams and ponzis. Don't gamble. Reward yourself and buy yourself something nice since you have a nice stash here and put the rest in the cold storage!  I dont see it why are people quitting with tradings trades can make people very rich ok it is a bit unpredictable but what if you make the trade of your life You will not regret it for sure and i know people love to see others makin gmoney with the bitcoin that stimulate them. You can't blame them dude because trading is not for everyone, you might see others that are already rich because of trading but that does not mean that anyone can do it, it is all about numbers and analyses and not all people are good at it although they tried. True, actually we could do trading anytime but the question is if trading would suit our knowledge and luck because same as you said we could really do trading anytime but there are really things that is not really for us because people are different in any ways. |

I just got Greedy and lost 0.03 while investing in ICO and it turned out shitcoin. i invested in sponsored ICO Coin in bittrex i thought they are strict on adding coins on their site but it turned out i was wrong. it was a great lesson for me this time is never trust anyone even though he is very well known. anyway everything when theres money involve is considered Gambling. So yes im greedy as f**k i didnt research further.
I don't think that is greed, it is just unlucky, and buying alt coins to invest it's not a gambling it's called trading and it's just a mistake that you dont research further, and it's a natural things people want to search for opportunity to earn bigger money Its still somehow a gambling or greed because you are aiming for profits but you could consider it as risking on an investment since you are investing on an ICO which on altcoin. Correct you are just unlucky because you choose a certain coins which isnt good at all. Sometimes luck will also play during the ICO because although there are some coins that are expected to be great, like waves and DAO but until now those who invested during the ICO still not able to sell their coins for a profit. If you will take a research both coins have raise a great amount to develop the project. I agree with this WAVES does have the potential and i jave some waves to on bittrex and didnt spend or sold them for a cheaper price im still holding it until now and waiting for the right time to sell them off. This is also a good investment and we should not be greedy. but i think waves are almost there might possible after the full nodes has been complete will be able to expect price will reach the ico or much greater, hope so.. I have invested with waves and they are a great project actually but seems like the ROI is too long to wait so I sold some of my waves for a lose. But still have a little number of waves in Bittrex so that is good already for long term investment. |

Cloudmining are just total scams and not worth for the money and dont intend to put even a single centavo on it. Hardware mining would be good as long you have a money to invest on and you have cheap electricity then for sure you would be profitable.

Buy gold and wait up price.  All I know is Bitreserve's bitgold is awesome. Flip from btc to gld to usd to yen to yuan and back to btc. Hold gold, but spend btc. All with real-time transparency. This is pretty good yeah you can either just put away money in a saving or you could invest whatever you want to safe into gold to make sure it's stays valuable. This is what I do and i recommend it for long term savers lets say 10+ years. Gold is a very good long term investment as long you have the money to put on then you would sure make profits on it same as on bitcoin. Saving money would not be hard as long you obliged yourself to get partition on your money and put up into savings. |

While waiting for confirmation, i do playing games,
reading some news, and mostly my time in trading.
In trading i check on what coins were I could buy and
sell coins.
I too do read news and check my email when I am waiting for the confirmation, Sometimes if its taking too long I start to brush my laptop and clean its top. But most of the time I just wait for it while doing other things in the house since I cash out always on weekends. I do the same thing too sometimes especially when im waiting for the confirmation times but sometimes when im in a hurry i do always check the transaction if its completed already but if im not in a hurry i just let it go and dont mind it. |

I am beginner with trading, so i prefer to study the chart without any bot to get good experience. I think only the experienced traders use bots for trading nowadays.
this IS the way to do it. you should first do everything manually and take time to learn everything yourself and then you can figure out which part of it you can do with automation (using bots) and which parts of it you have to do manually. This is true , you couldnt able to use bot on trading especially when you are still a newbie because you wouldnt know how to use it at all because of lack of knowledge and as you said you could use bots for automated trading especially when you do long trades. |

ban gambling foprum part in your browser for start  Good suggestion but does not work, we can easily access other sites since we are in control of our internet connection and computer. It should be from the start that you will devote yourself in doing other things to lose your interest in gambling. Agree, it would be still useless because you would surely find another sites which you could able to gamble again. If you banned it on your pc then you would really play on other pc for sure especially when you are already addicted into it. Devoted to other things not related to gambling wood be a good way. |

Im always doing the no.1. Its good to set a limit of win/loss coz staying in a gambling site for a long time is not a good idea as no one can win in the long run. So always set a limit of win and loss but sometimes managing the loss is hard resulting into breaking the limit you've set in loss.
you can always set the limit anytime you want , but remember to stick to the rules it's will just useless if then you ignore everything you have planned just be calm down , don't be hurry play it using your heart not temper so you way will know when exactly you must stop at certain profit. The thing is your heart is the reason of your temper in gambling, maybe the right statement would be play with your mind not with your heart. That is what professionals are doing in gambling that is why they are very successful as they are very clever not letting their emotion affect their decision making. oh that's what i mean to gamble with your mind , not directly using your temper beside a professional used their mind/brain to gamble they have a bankroll management it's very helpful for a regular gambler , as they might crossed the limit if didn't used this so basically follow your temper means a disaster you may will always ended lost. You are correct, gambling with your emotion is not good and in fact it is a recipe for disaster, I am not saying this based on what I hear and read from the others but this is merely based on my experience, now, I have a control already because I learn my lessons. Agree, you would able to control your temper if you already realized and you already experienced the consequences of not having a good self control on your emotions. If you realise or experience these things for sure you would not need to do it again because you are already awared. |

I must say that long term goals are for me the thing due to the fact that it has a nice future so I think its good to go for long terms.
Dumping is also profitable but if you know that its gonna rise more its worth to go long term.
which really hard to know good exit and entry with btc fluctuation its profitable if you come in with the right timing but if does not much better to keep hold and wait until it reach your goal amount. Short trading on bitcoin price would be profitable though but as you said you would need to come in on the best time as possible and the best time to sell also with this kind of steps and ways you would surely profit with that even on the slightest movement on bitcoins price. Long term investments on bitcoin would be still good but you cant enjoy profits on earlier time though. Well this could be a great idea since we are experiencing some little up and down so better really to do aome short trade on bitcoins so we can earn some profits by joining and grabinh the oppurtunity for hia little flactuation, but for longterm investment for me is not really good since i can't determine what is the risk that we might gonna face if bitcoin will suddenly got some huge problems that can threatin for the price down or died. Correct, we cant really predict the situation of bitcoin on long term and as you said it might experience problem on future or possibly died thats why its risky to full save and hold for future on bitcoin but who know its might happen or not. Thats why we are all risking here on bitcoin world. at least for choose long term we just need have easy mind, all bitcoin supply still not has been mined so for 4--8 year still safe as a long term investment. True, on longterm investments we could somehow rest our minds on being stressed regarding on future profits and as you said bitcoin supply still not mined for many years left and we could assume its somehow safe to hold long term as of now. Buying the lowest price of bitcoin as possible. |

I rather receive my salary in fiat than bitcoins, so i don't need to exchange my salary to fiat again if i received it in bitcoin. In my country there is no shop that accept bitcoin, so i rather pick in fiat.
Exactly, what's the use of your salary if you can't use it to buy your food or shop using it...Which for bitcoin it is still not possible since some countries only have few shops and some even don't have, lucky that we have exchanges that caters this when we have to shop online... Even if you dont have merchants on your country you could still exchange your bitcoin into fiat anytime but it would be a quite hassle for us compared on spending it directly. Thats why most people wouldnt risk to recieve bitcoin as their salary because of these adoption problems to a certain country or place. |

You can earn more in this forum. You can go to service section and join a signature campaign, it's the easiest way to earn bitcoin so far and you also can go to games and round section to earn free bitcoins.
If you have good time to spend then you can try according to above mate's quote. You could also try from faucets, captcha solving, games as well signature campaigns. In my view trading and gambling gives a big earning compared to signature campaign and other methods of earning. Its better to select themselves according to ones need. Trading and gambling will give you higher earnings but we cannot afford to ignore the risk associate with, so if you want safe earnings then best choice is to go for signature campaign. I would agree with this signature campaigns are risk free at all and also earnings are decent compared to those faucets and captchas. Trading would do as long you are kowledgable with it but if dont then you should not proceed you would surely lose your money how much more on gambling. |

Nope, If there are jail time involved, I would not use it. I have a family and a full time job to think of and no technology is worth the risk to go to jail and lose all of that. I would be one of the voices going up against laws like this, but I would never endanger my family.
The bitcoins I own now, would be send to friends in other countries where bitcoin is legal in exchange for legal fiat currencies. ^smile^
These would be the best way on redirecting your bitcoin on other friends which country doesnt ban bitcoin and you could still able to benefit from all your bitcoin in terms of cash. As you said i wont risk myself hence i have already family and i wont like to leave them because im being imprisoned. |
