lol. There are people who can do this and are very lucky at it. They play allin and just close their eyes. After few minutes, they will check and if they win, they cash out immediately and if they lost, cry.haha Well, right it is better to run immediately than staying because your chances of losing is high when you still play longer period of time especially if you only play with one session.
That's true, because once you stay longer in playing gambling the more also chances of losing. HAHAH! there are always 80% chance of losing that winning in gambling and we should accept it, and accept also when we lose.  Grin

that is correct. the more we stay playing the more we are getting ourselves expose to the house edge advantage of these casinos out there. Just play for fun and nothing to worry about losing.. you can also play it smarter by cashing out when you win and don't let casino when back that profit Smiley
The more your stay the more your lose, it's right when you are just a player but if you are an investor, the more you stay the more you will earn and it's the opposite and for me I do not call it gambling but investing because it's guaranteed money.

It is a global currency used by few from the developed countries, owning a larger percentage by the rich and educated. I only know a person physically who trades and use bitcoin. The high demand of a cap bitcoin currency will definitely increase the price of the coin. The anonymity make it a hidden investment by the corrupt politicians. Ability to trade on the internet with it make it a mobile wealth that can just be kept in my portable device.
Exactly, therefore we will not waste our time just watching it grow, we need to made the right action from now on.. We, the early adopters must benefit with bitcoin in the future because it's all about digital money in the future and bitcoin will lead.

Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?
If I were in your place, I would prefer to invest my money in real estate and online. As population continuously expanding, the demand in the facility to provide for many families also increase. Real estate is best choice to invest your money. My second choice is to invest my money online. Yet there are too many scam investing sites, there are still legit. Investing online is too risky as far as we know. Yet, if we would examine where or what happen in our investment, it would help us to find a legit one. Would ensure an instant profit without alot of efforts.
We can recommend those who are proven to be a profitable investment but in the end of the day it depends on the investor because he got the money and he will know how far he can take the risk in investing. Real state are proven to be profitable, but requires a good capital.
824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: November 21, 2016, 08:45:25 AM
I Lost around 1.2 BTC in gambling. I Decided to give it a stop.

But after i get a strong urge to gamble again. But somehow i convinve myself not to gamble.  Grin Grin Tongue
Well thats a good choice to stop playing, you already lose big amount and it should be a call for you to stop. its hard to lose money and its impossible to get it back, we know that gambling is more on luck.

The Most common feeling that most of the gamblers get after losing money is that ' I will invest some money, Play it good, win money to cover losses and will never gamble again'

But that never comes bco the more you invest the more you lose...
But in investing it is better than gambling, yeah investing is also risky but if you know actually how it works it will be not very risky it may take time to earn but I will say it is worth it to wait than to gamble and then lose in a short time.
good point its rather to have small earnings than placing yourself to keep losing from time to time when you are playing its a practical approach when seeking for profits but if only looking on it as a sort of entertaining you can always play small amount whether win or lost just satisfying your lust wont be a big problem for us i guess..
Either you play it for fun or the money as long as you have the control in gambling you will have no problem in the future, problem will only arise when you lose more than you cannot afford to lose because that will ruin our life already.

Losing is part of the game but up to the amount we can afford.
825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: November 21, 2016, 08:42:44 AM
in the end is very difficult to find a safe way to benefit each gambling. Well, how terbaikya just taking care of yourself in order not to lose control, because if you're craving and loss of control, it will be very difficult to find an advantage in the game. control yourself and calm mind is probably a good way
to me the only safe and smart way of playing gambling is to play gambling in a limit, if you have some strategy for your gambling and you play gambling in a limit then you can prevent yourself from such a big lost,
I totally agree, once you have no plan of the amount that you wanted to use/bet in gambling there is always a possibility that you can lose all of our money if you attached easily in gambling.
Gambling can be so addictive if you really can't control yourself. If you just want to have fun in gambling well you don't have to place big bets because you will probably lose and all of your money. So it's better to play and have fun and be content on some small amounts of betting and limiting yourself to gambling.
You will lose because it's gambling but it's expected already, if you play for fun you will still lose but you can limit your loses because you will not chase for your loses and you let go of your loses easily. I guess that is the smartest way to do which is to minimize our loses.
826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 21, 2016, 08:30:06 AM
Where do you bet NBA? I do it  OneHash.com . If you care about the design is the perfect site for you Smiley


www.onehash.com

Betcoin.ag is a site I like. Many around though.


Both sites are great, but there's a lot more.. It depends on the user on what site that satisfy here.

Let's cut this one.. We have to discuss more on the topic which NBA Games..
827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on sport = gambling? on: November 21, 2016, 08:24:17 AM
is OP is in a joke?They are both the same and its called gambling,even sports event,dice,beauty contest and any form of risking MONEY is called gambling.Even business is gambling too but not literally a gambling website.for me gambling is just risking of money to get something.
Well, I also feel that betting on sporting events is one type of gambling, even I see that gambling has the most fans of the other types of gambling. probably due to the type of gambling is very easy to predict the score or outcome, besides you can also enjoy it
They are a big industry, and people love betting on sports because it's fair and they love to see the action. The most fun games will generate more income as people are willing to spend just to have fun, and not only that we can win sometimes so it's a different feeling.
828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: November 21, 2016, 08:20:17 AM
A lot of things we can buy with bitcoin include illegal items such as weapons, drugs and more. It is not a reasons to banned and blame for use bitcoin. The best way is to avoid illegal goods transactions and we target for investment only.

Yes there are a lot of things that people could buy with bitcoin. We could spend it on buying things that we need in everyday, like food, pay bills, gadgets, etc. Yet it could also be used by some in buying prohibited goods like drugs. It's just sad to think that bitcoin is being used by some with this kind of illegal transaction since no one has the  overall control on every bitcoin transaction. So just like paper money, Bitcoin's fate relies on the choices done by it's holder.


Like fiat or anything with value, bitcoin is just a tool to acquire things either illegally or otherwise. People are going to use a currency to their liking, and if they can get away with buying stuff that are not supposed to be sold, then they will do it. A lot of the noise about bitcoin is associated with buying illegal stuff that is why some countries are banning it. But if they also see the good side of using bitcoin, which others are already doing, then the stigma and public perception that bitcoin has will eventually change.
And how was the effect, government should always consider the overall effect of bitcoin because even fiat can be use for illegal activities and it is widely use as it's more acceptable than bitcoin. If government were smarter they will understand that they can get more benefits than banning it.

It will help the economy if  they know how to make measures.
829  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to manage money? on: November 21, 2016, 08:08:06 AM
That's where the money comes from; risk of investments. If you take no risk and put your money up with 100% confidence that you're going to get it back, then expect to make little to no money off of it. If you are able to find something that gives you a return for essentially no risk, then it is more often than not too good to be true.

Risk is a huge factor of investments. While you can be burned by them, you can make enough doing whatever.

Blind risk is not profitable either. The only risk you should take is when it is calculated risk, in which losing is very little. You do not have to be a risk taker if you can avoid it.
Tue, although bitcion is full of risk but we are here to invest because we believe that the price will increase in the future. If our aim is only to save we will still lose due to inflation, I believe people here knows how to manage their money since they are earning here because of bitcoin and they diversify their investment in other type.
830  Economy / Economics / Re: Spending Bitcoins on: November 21, 2016, 07:48:16 AM
We do have a similar service in which you could pay nearly almost every bill available such as utility, power, water bills and whatnot. Also, you could use the said service to recharge your mobile, order online game credits and an online wallet service. As for casual spending, you could get a debit card in which you could load up your bitcoins in there and do payments on a restaurant or a supermarket as if you're just using a regular credit card.

I personally looked up many bitcoin debit cards but did not order one as their fees are too high for someone like me, i'm not a professional bitcoin earner so if i pay 3% everytime spending my bitcoins it would take away all what i might have, i prefer converting them to fiat and spending them then.

Were in the same situation. I also prefer to convert my earnings to fiat and spend it in buying my stuffs than to buy online using bitcoin or by using a credit card. I think I can save more by cashing out my money than by using a credit card for i have to pay a larger fee on it plus the interest to be payed. I think it's  more practical for me to convert my bitcoin into cash and spend it.
I am not fun of spending my bitcoin online, I prefer to go in a store and select the items I like to buy. I just love bitcoin because it's an investment for me and my money have grown a significant amount when I started using bitcoin.
831  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to hack your bitcoin from your wallet? on: November 20, 2016, 12:27:50 PM
It is possible if you work with negligence, that's your money and it's your responsibility to protect your money. And if you consider your money as investment for your future then the more you have to exert effort to protect it.
832  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Korea, Dubai Move to Regulate Bitcoin on: November 20, 2016, 12:24:50 PM
I was expecting a such move from Dubai , cause at the end UAE is still a middle east country where governments are always cautious
my cousin is living in Abu Dhabi , and he told me that porn websites and big gambling sites are blocked by the government
so do you think that a country that bans porn will allow people to use bitcoin without any troubles !!
It's easy to use bitcoin to bypass the law, with bitcoin there's not giving of information and you just have to protect your IP to be able not to be trace. The real essence is that they ban and gambling site and porn sites then probably it's illegal to access it using bitcoin but only when you get caught.
833  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does a President Trump mean for Bitcoin? on: November 20, 2016, 12:17:52 PM
At least it means a change in the economic policy of the U.S. And that change may be beneficial or not. Time will tell.
I hope it's beneficial, we shall see it in the future as the new president seems to be very aggressive and hopeful to make america great once again. The  improvement in the economy might affect bitcoin because people will trust fiat again and we know US has a big investors who are in bitcoins.
834  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is a good investment now, because... on: November 20, 2016, 12:15:17 PM
Bitcoin is always a good investment. Its price always goes up even if there are many bad effect on it. I have bought many bitcoin since 2015 and i never regret about that
yes no doubt about this and the main reason is that its price is continuously increasing from time to time and therefore still there is good potential in the price of bitcoin to increase so still it is good time to invest in bitcoin.
It's is a good investment because the value is increasing and we just have to trust the future of bitcoin and we have to take some risk. It's not advisable to put all our money in bitcoin but only up to the amount we can afford to lose, the amount we put will measure our trust in it.
835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do Bitcoins have Tax?? on: November 20, 2016, 12:07:10 PM
I dont think there is a tax on bitcoin in the Uk but in the future there my be some sort of it..

I think yes, although it will need long time until there are tax on bitcoin at least right now we get charge/fees on markets while we want buy bitcoins on there, although we don't know the markets pay tax or not, but actually depend on the rules of countries them selves on usage of bitcoins.
yes that is a fact that still there is no tax on bitcoin and it will take some more time to impose tax on bitcoin, as the governments have to accept bitcoin as legal currency and only then they can put tax on it. and still not a single country has consider bitcoin as legal currency.
One thing I know is that once we convert our bitcoin in fiat we are paying taxes on it, not implied but the fee can be seen as a tax for us. Exchange sites are registered business and they get income from us and they are paying taxes on behalf of us.
836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Fiat Digital currency is coming to Chinese people. on: November 20, 2016, 11:43:51 AM
It won't make a difference for the Chinese people. It is just a credit card what they are making. Because it is centralized like fiat. Hell they even named it " the digital fiat". No need to re-invent the wheel, mastercard/visa did it long time ago.

As you see, this is what makes bitcoin beautiful. It is decentralized (i have doubs for the future but unless it is proven, it will stay decentralized) Whatever do Chinese or Swedish or any other gov come up with an idea of a digital currency, it will be centralized. They have no power to make the otherwise. The Power of being powerless. Bitcoin has no government, only the power of the people.
I completely agree with your, the government always want in control and though how good the system they will come up, they cannot still eliminate bitcoin as we are decentralized here people wants freedom and does not want to share their information with the government.
837  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: For what was Bitcoin created? on: November 20, 2016, 11:40:51 AM
It was created , so you could pay Hookers with your Cellphone.  Cheesy
CIA got tired of carrying Cash for their Parties.


 Cool
That was just part of the benefits, admittedly I love girls I mean hot chick but there's no such kind service yet in our country. If ever there will be available I would be the first person to use my bitcoin for hookers in our country. That's why it's called freedom.
838  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin was made illegal by your government would you still use it? on: November 20, 2016, 11:30:14 AM
Yes, I would still use bitcoins even if government bans it because I am an honest and loyal user of bitcoins and I love it because of its decentralization and not being watched by anyone, controlling all my finances on my own which gives me higher privileges and makes me feel like a King.

We all have the same feelings, but when it comes on crime, none of us would like to go to prison for just using a digital currency which was providing a financial freedom for us.
If the government announces that anyone using bitcoin would be taken to prison then i'm sure you will think twice before doing that then.
Bitcoin has a lot of benefits we can enjoy but we should choose those kind of benefits that will not compromise our future, we know that illegal activities has bigger risk and if we decide to do that we have to expect anytime we will be caught. Bitcoin is freedom but the moment you use it for illegal activities you will not enjoy freedom because you are afraid of being caught.

Yeah, you can buy drugs with it. That's nice so that Bitcoin has more added-value. I have never tested because I don't need it.
Me too, I would not bother buying drugs, the law is very strict in our country, if proven you are involve in illegal activities particularly on illegal drugs you will be sentence a lifetime imprisonment, I still want to have my freedom.
