I gambling for profit, of course. If i lost, i leave the game with pleasure. if i won, i will withdraw my winnings and i never want to earn very much. So i can  say i don't get addicted
You don't want to earn very much? but I bet you still cameback to the gambling site even if you won. That does mean you're also addicted. It's just you have a control on yourself that you are following you're limit.
Actually each person has different personality , i mean it is possible that he is really doing that.
To completely discipline no matter he won or lost , who knows right?
But as we all know that mostly people cannot handle their own greedy and it is usually leading into addiction, we cannot avoid thst.
If you think about it, there can never be the perfect the same person and that they have the same personality and characteristics overall, even twins have different traits. Maybe the first twin would be great at handling their money and the other twin wouldn't be, there are just proofs that show that. We could avoid addiction if you try to stop once you feel that you are going to be addicted.

A lot of terrorists seem to be coming from the Middle East, because the Middle East is getting screwed from all sides. If you lived in that place you would probably be quite pissed off as well.

If you look at the ISIS, then it is clear that they are attracting psychopaths from all over the world, and not just from the middle-east. The former USSR has contributed to between 5,000 and 10,000 fighters, mostly consisting of Chechens and Central Asians such as Uzbecs.

The ISIS is definitely have spread fear towards everyone and I think it's working because all the media are highlighting the works that they have done and I've read somewhere that the ISIS has affiliations that make them do things that are really terrible. They have even taken the blame towards other stuff that I think they are not connected in any way.
8343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: August 04, 2017, 09:11:21 AM
I allocate a certain amount of money that I can afford to lose in case of an unsuccessful game. It helps a lot to avoid unnecessary waste and enjoy gambling.
It would also be helpful to try to limit yourself in winnings, meaning if you have achieved that particular goal that you have in your mind. You would immediately stop, and you should have a stopping balance too, but you saying that you are allotting with what you can afford to lose, that's fine as well because it would be okay for you to lose that.
8344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: August 04, 2017, 09:07:23 AM
Most of the people I know who are into gambling can be considered as one-day millionaires. The moment they get their hands on some winnings, they spend it on different things the fastest way they can. This is the problem with these people as they tend to not to value money as much and spend lavishly on unimportant things.
At least they are not continuing to gamble with the profit money that they received because I know some people tend to continue to gamble even though they have won a lot but still thinks they are going to win and I have experienced that and I don't want to repeat that mistake again especially if you know that you are already at the green side (positive side)
8345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: August 04, 2017, 08:56:59 AM
This is a rather difficult task, but I think that if you find some interesting hobby, you can replace them with gambling. Personally, I'm not going to quit, because I have no addiction.

Hmm, you mean you can replace a good hobby with gambling? I don't know about you but I think a good hobby is not wise to be replaced with gambling. Gambling is just supposed to be for fun and entertainment and try not to get hooked by it.
Basically, if you are really amazed at gambling and want to always play and want to profit, that's just the case towards gamblers turning addicted, I admit that I like the feeling of having to play every time and expecting to win, but in the long run, it's not working. It's just sad knowing that you are losing money for nothing because you are always losing.

8347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: August 04, 2017, 12:28:11 AM
After I win a good amount of money, sometimes I carry on playing so that I win much more money. But usually, I would go to bars and waste the money I won, or keep some for another day, or use it as my pocket money. But when I lose, I recollect the money I lost with my winnings. After all, there is loss and win in life.

Even I prefer to spend my winnings either on food or on beer and if I win bigger amount then I go for shopping as I believe that money earned from gambling should be spent out and should not carry to your home.

This is a perfect way to spend your winnings because i also do this whenever i win a good amount of bitcoin i spent most of them buying things or even buying foods to chill or relax. Every winnings for me is important no matter how big or small. Sometimes i spent my winnings to go to a place where i can relax or reminisce.

I remember my brother telling me that all of his winnings that he earned through gambling is called "dirty money" and it should be spend right away to avoid any regrets and crucial mistakes. He told me that once you win in a run, the tendency is for you to gamble your winnings again until you unconsciously lose it. The next phase is for you again to gamble your OWN money until you exhaust everything without winning again. That is the cycle of gambling since that business mainly focuses on luck and not on skill.

I do not believe in this stuff.  I think it depends on the person, the tendency is there but the way a person control himself still prevails.  Unless the person become greedy and does not give value to the money he won, then there is a possibility that this thing happen.  I also do not think that winnings in gambling is dirty money unless you stole them or cheat your way to win lots of money.  As long as you are using your hard earned free money, and you never cheated to win, it is clean.
I think every greedy person has their ways like they value the money that they have but in the long run, it's them who is wrong because hey can think tht they can still earn from it and get away with it, that's not going to happen and I have experienced that a lot. If it's in real life, it could be possible that that money can be dirty, but it's online, it's all the same.

It just seems that there are no people interested in how to help the world knowing that we are destroying our planet. I wanted to have a healthy discussion about what can we do even if it's a little thing to help the environment. 
It will help the human but not the environment, it will just slows down nature's destruction. For example, the Solar Energy, we need solar panels in order to convert it into electricity, and those solar panels are made from raw materials coming from nature and processed by those mega factories that emit dangerous gasses. Remember that we're not just talking about a piece of panel, and Solar energy is not the only renewable energy that needs to be converted by machines into a usable form.
That's true, the thing is that you can lessen the damage and try to rebuild it, it's never ending but it's worth it in my opinion. The materials coming from nature would be the sacrifice and it would lead to a better use rather than just use it in a non-helpful way.

Renewables energy have a major roles on how energy is being produce with greener and sufficieny source of energy  only today but also in the future. We should shift into renewable energy because is infinite unlike other source of energy that is finite only.
There are already house and establishment are getting involve with use of renewable energy. Here in my country, different kinds of renewable energy are being implemented like wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and hydro power. Our government support this kind of project building solar farm, hydroelectric and wind power.  I believe that one day we can build a cleaner and greener world.
It has a major role and that's why I believe in it, it just needs time to be researched and soon enough, there will be promising research articles that could be implemented in the world that could help save the planet.
8350  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: August 03, 2017, 03:04:48 AM
Solar and Wind are great sources of renewable energy that should be adopted by more countries.
~snip
~snip
On a per KWh basis, the nuclear energy is at least three times cheaper than solar energy and at least twice as cheaper when compared to the energy generated from the thermal power-plants. On top of that it does not pollute the atmosphere like the thermal power-plants. Waste disposal is an issue, but the advancement of technology has resolved this problem as well.
I believe in the nuclear energy that it could power a lot of homes, not just the power plant itself. I researched about how the radioactive wastes are being managed and I can quite say that I'm impressed and knowing that the number or amount of wastes generated by the nuclear power plant is relatively small amount compared to the thermal electricity production. It has been proven also.
8351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: August 03, 2017, 01:01:55 AM
No because i only gamble just to make fun but sometimes having a profit is good and i'm not a shame if i always gamble because i gamble my own money and i don't loan just to gamble. Gambling also makes my boredom gone.

Me too, why should i feel bad because i do something that i like? Sure, sometimes i lose money, but also sometimes i win some. Gambling is just a fun activity that brings a lot of good moments, it even lets you to enjoy sport games more if you bet on it. In my opinion, you shouldn't feel shameful as long as you aren't addcited. If you are, then there is reason to feel like this.

Because involved in the gambling is the worst option ever you do in bitcoin investment option. At least be choosy invest on betting or poker win with your skills. Others like casino, slot roller and all simply waste of time and waste of money.
There are a lot of addicted people that think that they are not addicted and it turns out they are losing money more and more and they are just too blind to see it. What do you think is going to happen when you are addicted? Of course, you would lose money and probably hurt your relationships with others because all you do is gamble. There are a lot of good investments that could benefit you in the long run, not just in gambling.
8352  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: August 03, 2017, 12:32:23 AM
Well conventional energy is still cheaper, than many other renewable types of energy. But earth is moving towards renewable energy and that is certain. People are more and more aware that renewable energy is better for earth. Moving from conventional types to renewable already started, but it is long proces, and we are somewhere at the start. We can just hope that it will not be late when we move completely on using renewable energy some time in future.
It is relatively cheaper but the downsides on that are it destroys our planet, how we get it is the struggle itself. Some energy providers use the international standards to prevent further damaging the environment but a lot of companies tend to not follow the ISO standards that are needed to properly do processes and make them operate the country again. It is definitely better because once you have done that, think about it, it can be providing you energy 5 - 10 years or more and you won't have to do a single thing, that's awesome.
8353  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Negative effects of technology on: August 02, 2017, 03:43:20 PM
Technology is not always a good thing.

One example is with the children.
In the old days, children used to play outside with their friends.
Now majority of them are just staring at their iPads.


Technology has always been a great help for all of us though on the other hand as it grow rapidly our lives becoming dependent to it. A lot human labor have been replaced by thus giving a less labor in the country.  As the technology takes over the workforce there would be scarcity to the man power.
Replacing human labor has some advantages and disadvantages. We know that humans tend to relax and be inconsistent with work resulting in inefficient outcomes (depending on what type of company or manufacturing). If it's a robot, it won't be emotional and it would be automated, that would be an easy way to monitor, you just need to maintain it.
8354  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: August 02, 2017, 03:38:06 PM
In this technological era, some advancements have potential to make our world cleaner and greener. Do you think that it is possible? That people would start doing it in their own little ways that they can eventually have an impact on our environment?

Lots of scientific studies are out there being researched and developed, for example, the artificial photosynthesis. It's where you make a plastic coating of some sorts that will get CO2 or something and make cleaner air. That's where it's going to boom when it's practical to make for everyone to use.

Do you believe that the research papers now can have an impact? Cite examples and do you think that it's possible?

I think that renewable energy is good, it would help our environment a lot. It will decrease the waste in our planet. The problem is, people are not interested in using this because they want to have instant (which are provided by power plants) energy. If people would only acknowledge the potential and the help that renewable energy would give, maybe earth would cleaner.
Modern technology can not 100% to provide mankind with energy from alternative sources. And the technology is still too expensive. Now we are talking only about reducing emissions, but it is not the solution. This postponement of the sentence.
There can never be a 100% thing, it doesn't exist because there are a lot of factors to factor in and in order to get the best efficiency, tests must be made and research and now you know the reason why it's expensive. There are a lot of tests that researchers undergo to provide the right information and if the research study is on the right track, it's not yet ideal but it could help the future, funding the development would hasten the process in handling the technological stage.
8355  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: August 02, 2017, 09:52:20 AM
I really agree on renewable energy, it's really saving our planet and reduce the global warming but of course this need a lot of research and cooperation from all people and we know one day we will run out of energy source so we cant depend on those energy source, but some people simply don't want to know, they will only realize when the problem already at critical point, it is really important to keep on developing this technology so we will save our earth

The main problem with renewable energy is that it is not very affordable. Look at solar panels and wind power turbines. They cost a lot, and they require constant maintenance. The only affordable renewable energy source is Uranium. 
The reason why renewable energy is expensive, it's because the materials used to manufacture those kinds of devices are hard to get meaning more price will come from that. Solar panels have different specifications also and that comes with a price and how much energy you could store in your storage. That's one of the problems of renewable energy, how to store it.
So that the best thing we should do is to educate ourselves on how to take good care the things that benefits us a lot. And energy from the sun is the most important energy that we should have if we don't want those  renewable energy. We should have discipline within ourselves to avoid using those very expensive renewable energy.
Exactly, because we are benefiting this planet, that we are all living here we should take care of it. No matter how small it is like picking up garbage and recycling things in the right places, helping people to recover. Do you consider yourself to be a good guy towards the environment that we live in or not? That's the ultimate question that each and one of us should answer.

Just got word from lightlord, funds should be in the escrow wallet soon (most likely after the fork, though).
Payments will be processed right after and we can resume the campaign once done.
I'll keep you guys updated.



Special thanks to absy for helping me reach out.
So that means we are heading for a three week round or campaign is currently paused.

It's a yes I guess. Thanks for good news Lutpin and also to absy special mention to you buddy!  Cool

I was confused with joebrook, not sure if it's a question or just a statement.  Huh Shocked

*Edit
It's a question on if we are heading towards a third round or campaign being paused for the time being.
Well, I didn't know that you are questioning because there is no question mark, but now I understand better and it's clearer.
Thanks for clearing that up.  Smiley

8357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: August 02, 2017, 01:34:50 AM
Gambling can be in both ways it can help you by winning and it can make it worse by losing anything

And if you are just losing, it's not helping you with your finances. In other positive idea, it is helping you to teach a very good lesson that you should not full blast your money with gambling or it is teaching you that chances of winning bigger amount in gambling is only happening once in a blue moon.
It affects your relationships with others too, knowing that you are already losing but still continuing, probably your family knows about it too then they will feel empty because you're always out or not even give back the money. It's better to just play casually and not be addicted to gambling because you would just be hurt.

If you are already into gambling, you can play casually if you want to. But the way of thinking that gambling will help you with your life by giving an unlimited potential to win is one that's pushing us to move forward. And if it is affecting your relationship with others too, you must do something appropriate so that gambling will not be a negative reason for others upon seeing you.
I'm not really into gambling anymore but if I am, I hope I'm not addicted to it that I can easily stop whenever I want to even if it's a profit or a loss, it depends. Your opinion is true because the possibility of earning more when you play, fuels you up and it could lead to either the positive or the negative, depending on the games you played. Doing something when there is a problem is a necessity because you can't let it just destroy you and you have to know what you are doing with yourself.
8358  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: August 02, 2017, 01:03:23 AM
Renewable energy in my opinion is very important than energy such as coal and petroleum that makes a lot of air pollution, I always cloudy for renewable energy to increase its usefulness. Because only in 2000 renewable energy is widely developed in various countries
But do you know why it isn't widely used? Because it's expensive, depends on the weather (in most cases but not all), and has other issues. For instance solar panels need to be kept clean and are very easily damaged by hurricanes or hailstorms. Wind generators have brakes that have to be frequently checked and maintained, if the turbine will spin out of control and self destruct. Also building a concrete tower of this size is difficult and expensive. Probably the only highly efficient plants are river dams. They can run 24/7 with the same speed, don't need a lot of maintenance, but the construction costs are still high.
There are wind generators which do not require the construction of concrete towers. You can see these wind turbines in the Arab countries. They provide electricity for drilling rigs. Although hydroelectric power plant at the moment is the cheapest form of electricity production.
It is expensive for a reason and you know that it's more expensive to us if we didn't do something about the depleting resources that we have on this planet. It's like letting someone destroy your home for nothing and you are doing nothing about it. It's continuously evolving, the ways that we can get energy and there is always research, that's for sure. There is nothing perfect in this world that's why there are trial and error happening around us and that we need to make sure that we support it, who else will if no one is out there to support? Continuous research is good for everyone of us.
8359  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your favourite country? on: August 01, 2017, 03:33:49 PM
Most people choose based some thing which are necessary for normal life.People from poor country in most cases will tell some country with a good standard of living and based on that will state voters,in other cases the crucial role will be some natural beauty,cultura or some historical facts.
That's true of course knowing that you are going to tell with your favorite country is and that's not all because you have to explain why is it your favorite country meaning about what you said that could be based on either people, surroundings, and historical facts like you said. You haven't told your favorite country and you just said the things that make people like the country, I think you should share yours too.
8360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know whether its your lucky day? on: August 01, 2017, 03:29:26 PM
I've not really realized this, how do i know if when's my lucky day. But it seems like i feel it when i get more profit / winning than losing it of the day too. It's difficult to know our lucky day, i think we better just do the best and try to be optimistic and can control the emotions, that's the most important i guess.
Being optimistic nor controlling your emotions most probably will not bring any big differences because you are dealing with gambling not with trading. Many people misinterpret gambling the way how they are approaching gambling. I mean to say they are expecting same result similar to trading that is the reason they are approaching gambling how they are doing with trading.

Finding out your lucky day will be possible only if you have some extra perception power. Other than this honestly I do not have any idea how to find out a lucky day for gambling.
That's the thing you can never know what your current situation until you have done it and it's like any other type of prediction or something close. I think somehow you could control how you are going to trade or gambling and not just being optimistic. Being optimistic in my opinion is really a great thing to have because being negative would result to more negative results. I have seen it the power of luck but only in animes.
