8561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction on: November 02, 2019, 03:34:47 AM
Want you addicted to cigarettes or gambling, everything is difficult to get rid of it. But compared to being addicted to gambling, I prefer to be addicted to cigarettes. I know cigarettes are dangerous to health, but the money spent on cigarettes is much cheaper than you gambling. That's what I think about why I prefer to be addicted to cigar / cigarette.
My buddy, cigarette addiction is way more dangerous than gambling, those people who are addicted to cigarettes can even smoke more than a pack of cigarettes every which in long run will cause cancer and also money problems as cigarettes are not cheap everywhere in the world. Gambling on the other hand does demand payment first and any wise man would know that you shouldn't borrow money for gambling.

I cannot imagine how, if that gambler has gambling addicting and cigar addicting at the same time, he must need a lot of money to cover his addiction. I see that in traditional gambling, people have addicted to gambling, but they also smoke in that place, and when I asked them why they smoke. They answer that it can help them to think about how to win the games. So that makes me think they will have double-spent in gambling and cigar because when they end the cigar, they will light another cigar.
8562  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The secret of gambling? on: November 02, 2019, 02:36:09 AM
There's a lot on Youtube, but it's a pitch for e-books or courses on how to win in gambling and it comes with hundreds of dollars tag, I don't know how effective these are, there's even an e-book about winning in a lottery, but there's no guaranty that these are effective so far no one has posted here that he is successful because of those e-books or courses, or maybe nobody here is buying those yet.

That is just a lesson on how to win in gambling, but there is no secret method to win in gambling. That is different because you only learn about how to win and not the secret itself. There is no secret in gambling because gambling is the game with the luck factor that we need to win and of course, with money involved. So people spend their money, and if they are lucky, they can get the money, but if they lose, they must accept the loss without trying to get their money because that will depend on the luck itself.

But the lesson will be still a lesson, and we can improve our skills in gambling. No matter how high our ability in gambling, if we don't have luck, then we cannot win in gambling.

If we care about turning back the money we borrowed plus the interest, gambling is not the last option to take for sure. Not even an expert will do the same and risk his money for the sake that he/she might able to pay debts for a very short period of time. Cause in the first place, we're not sure about winning in gambling and not even having the assurance to make wins all the time.


Yep, gambling is not the last option for us to make money. But some people will think that only gambling that can save him because he is sure that he can make that money. But playing in any gambling game won't give a chance to make money, and we can only enjoy the game without thinking of making money.

Dice game will be an interactive gambling game because the game is easy to play, and we don't have to learn so many methods or strategies to win. Even for new people who are not familiar with the game will feel that dice can give excitement. And that is why many people who lose in dice game because they forget how much money they already spent.

Freebitco.in has got its reputation for a long time ago, but I don't know how good they are now. I remember that when I play the faucet, yes, they paid you when you want to withdraw. But I don't use multiply anymore since I cannot win, and that is why I stop to gamble on that site. I think they still paid you if you use the faucet, but the other things like multiply, I don't know.

Sometimes, I still playing with the faucet, but I don't spend too long to play the faucet because today, it is a waste of time, and the reward has reduced a lot. I don't think people still using the faucet to earn satoshi from that site.
8565  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Living Off-Grid With Bitcoin? on: November 01, 2019, 04:39:25 AM
I think its quite unrealizable. We cannot live in a no electricity area if we do cryptocurrency. We can still live in a rural area that has electricity and internet connection. Living in rural areas does not necessarily mean that we can be free of government and other distructors. It can be minimal but still local government are present.

If we can find new resources to create something that will produce electricity, we can live without the government because we have our power and it can light up our place. But that will be difficult as we know that the government doesn't want to see their people use something that they don't know. If you want to remove the dependency of the banks, then you will need approval from the government because the bank will be related to the government itself. I don't think that the government will agree with that because the bank is one of its components to make money.

But you can build your own electricity sources and a computer that runs a node and connect to the network. However, still, you need to pay the internet connection to the ISP provider unless you can have a new source to use the internet without help from the ISP provider.
8566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What scares you the most? on: November 01, 2019, 03:52:16 AM
The most thing that I am afraid of is when I see all of my bitcoin and altcoin is at the downtrend because, at that moment, I cannot see a chance to get a profit. I don't use big money to invest in crypto, but I am worried to see the bad thing happen, and I think that it is reasonable to be afraid if we are in those situations because some of us are not ready to see that.

Even though I don't use big money to invest, still, I need to hold my emotion and not to panic if the market fell because I know that the market will always fluctuate and will like that from time to time. I need to realize that it will be my risk, and I should accept the risk of investing in cryptocurrency.
8567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: November 01, 2019, 02:58:31 AM
Many people tried to take this opportunity and consider lifetime work but only a few of them survive. It may be because we have differences in life and might to say that some of those who try aren't preferred enough for the possible results. For to know that gambling is not all about luck but also it needs skills, strategy, and smart thinking. If we could adopt this environment, it simply means that we are about to succeed in gambling and live this opportunity.

The prize in gambling will attract people to gamble and come to the gambling website or in the casino. That makes people spend their money, and some of them are learning the lesson of gambling because they want to try to use gambling for a source of income. That makes them have a dream to use gambling as a profession.

Yes, many of them will fail to use gambling as a profession, but there will be many more people who will try that. That is why the gambling business will never end and still running for a long time.
8568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the discipline help in gambling? on: November 01, 2019, 01:47:43 AM
You can't just force yourself to control your gambling attitude.
You have to develop a your everyday habits first so that this becomes something natural for you.
This might take time though.

So... you need time and also experience plays a big role.

No, we should force ourselves to have control for the attitude because that is what we need to do if we want to have a discipline. Sometimes we feel it's difficult, but if we can do every day, I am sure that in the next month, we will not feel difficult. The difficulty is how we can build a new habit in controlling ourselves and do it at least 40 days so our body and mind will work by itself. That will help our conscious mind and unconscious mind to tell that we have something to do every day.

Yes, it will take time, but you can get a good result in the next month if you keep trying.
8569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to restrain yourself at a small loss and not spend money. on: November 01, 2019, 12:45:13 AM
It's a little difficult when we've played and there our emotions and ambitions cannot be resisted. although at first we have rules that have been made when it touches how much we have to stop, but sometimes we ourselves are carried away so that we spend all our money. I often experience this and in the end when we lose we regret it.when not playing we can make rules but when playing there our emotions can not stop

I think that will only happen in the beginning, but if we can realize that we must have control for ourselves, we will try to learn to control emotions and ambitions. Yes, it is difficult, and no one can do this in a short time because that will need the practice to control ourselves. Without practicing to control emotion and ambitions, we will spend all our money without stopping the game. There's a lot of things that we need to do to restain ourselves from spending the money and control yourself to prevent the big lose.
8570  Economy / Economics / Re: What should I convert my money into? on: October 31, 2019, 07:31:32 AM
If I were in your position, of course I also would use my assets in BTC, I would not use 50:50 but I would use 100% of my money for Bitcoin. I also have read a topic that says there will be a global crisis in the future which will cause the US Dollar to collapse. So to anticipate this, it is better for you to make your assets in BTC.

I think using 100% of your money for bitcoin will not be good for you if you still using fiat to buy something in your real life. But if that money is free from anything, then yes, you can use all of your money to buy bitcoin while you still have other money to cover your daily needs. A global crisis can happen anytime, and that will make people panic if that is happening, and it will make a demonstration everywhere. But we don't know if, at that time, bitcoin will come out for a new solution to solve the global crisis or not because that will need approvement from all countries to use bitcoin as the new payment system.
8571  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why did 95% of traders fail and lose money? on: October 31, 2019, 06:31:12 AM
It is no need to wait for the first two years for traders who will give up with trading, but they will stop trading in the first month if they cannot make any profit. Trading will be difficult for people who don't want to learn some basics of trading, but they will have a chance to get the profit for the first time they trade. Day trading will be more difficult because you need to search the potential coin to buy and sell, and the coin should have a good movement at the market. So why did 95 of traders fails is because they cannot learn more about trading, they follow other people suggestion without analyzing by themselves, they cannot manage how much money they should use for trading.
8572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: October 31, 2019, 03:48:32 AM
I have watched on the news before that husband and wife got addicted to the casino, then they won millions of money and buy what they want, they've got rich and the wife stops to play gambling while husband continues to play and thinking that he will make another million. But slowly he loses his money and got a lot of debt. He also thinks to sell their house but luckily he think wise about his property and think of his family, so they still have their house but already have nothing. They can start over again but maybe not already in the casino anymore.

We don't have to follow their steps to play more gambling games. It is enough to hit the jackpot once in a lifetime, and we need to stay away from gambling because, as we saw with that person, he loses his money and has a lot of debt. Imagine those things happen to us and how we can pay the debt without any money we have. If I were him, I would make sure to stop playing gambling and never think of playing gambling again because I can hit the jackpot because of luck. Besides that, he has a big greed to earn more money from gambling, and he hopes that he can hit the jackpot again, but unfortunately, the luck did not come to him.
8573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the discipline help in gambling? on: October 31, 2019, 02:44:25 AM
I got that experience before. I say to myself that I need to stop after 30 minutes in a gambling game. But the fact, I even continue playing gambling until 1 hour hahaha. The first time I gamble, I don't manage my time so many times I played more than 1 hour, but then I realize that I need to change my time in the gambling game. So I start to control myself in gambling. I learn about discipline in gambling because it is hard for me to stop the feeling of playing more.

After practice in many days, I slowly can manage myself and handle it without a problem. Yes, discipline will help you to follow the schedule you make so you can stop at any time without a problem. With practicing discipline every day, you will have the power to yourself to limit the time in anything, not just in gambling.
I have also been through this and I can relate absolutely. I think there is just a mystery behind this game we are yet to uncover because I can longer recall the number of times I tell myself I would be timely and more calculative in playing and I end up derailing and this can be very disappointing.

In trying to be disciplined we should learn to be appreciative of the time already spent on the game and the amount won or yet to be won because that's how we can be disciplined and understand when to say no. Gambling is seriously addictive, there was a time in my life I couldn't stay 5 minutes without been on a game either on my PC or phone. I didn't see anything wrong with this at first but eventually, I admitted it wasn't a normal habit and I gradually helped myself out of the addiction

We don't think anything for the first time, but if we continue to do the thing and for some time with adding more time to play more, in the long term, we can be addicted. That happens to many people, not just a gambler. We can see a sample for people who play some games on their phones. In the beginning, they could spend probably less than 30 minutes, but then they found that playing that game was excited and they were trying to play longer then they will attract him to become addicted.

So, we need to have the discipline to control ourselves. That will happen to anything, and the worst is if we become addicted to gambling. Without discipline, we will get into the deep of gambling without having a way out to stop playing the games.
8574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Donating the Gambling profits on: October 31, 2019, 12:54:37 AM
snip
everything you say is true, but there are some corruptors and dirty companies using this trick to hide their crimes, they donate to have covered up their crimes.

a few years ago a pharmaceutical company in my country closed down because of their crime of producing psychotropic drugs and selling them illegally. they have a foundation that has a large schedule of charitable activities every year but the impact of their crimes is enormous.

I heard news from someone who works in the government. He says that some illegal gambling in the hidden place was donating some big amount of money to the charities. That money was detected from one of the owner's bank accounts because the owner was a famous people in here. When that person caught, he was telling that it is normal if he did that because in the other secret gambling places were also did that. The charities don't have a problem with that because they thought that is for redemption for their sin.

From that, we know that some illegal activities still do this. They think that life needs to be balanced between positive and negative. He does the illegal activity, but he is also donating some revenue to the charities or people who need money.
8575  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do expert traders hide their loses? on: October 30, 2019, 09:02:06 AM
All traders already make a profit and loss and even for a pro trader. Besides making a profit, a pro trader will also get a loss in trading. But they don't want people to know that they are getting lost the money in the trading. When people know about their losses, they thought that their credibility as a pro trader would reduce, and people will leave them and don't want to listen to their suggestions. I think they are not honest with their fans or public because they don't want to see people know about their losses. They will hide it and only them that know how often their losses.
8576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't let Margin Trading make you poor! on: October 30, 2019, 07:37:45 AM
Margin trading could be dangerous for traders who cannot analyze with good. They will lose direction to predict where the market moves because they cannot analyze the market trends, and they place a wrong buy or sell. Even if we have skills to predict where the market moves, it still difficult to prevent the loss because we need to watch the market closely so we don't miss something that will happen with the market. It is right to say that margin trading can give the biggest profit, but we need to realize that besides profit, margin trading will have a high risk too. So when you want to do margin trading, you need to have skills. You can have the ability to stop the trade anytime, following the market. And don't forget to close your trade if you get a profit.
8577  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Long Term VS Daily Trading on: October 30, 2019, 06:37:39 AM
Both short term and long term trading will profitable, but that depends on the coin you bought. The daily trading will be different than short term, and long term trading as the daily trading means you are trading daily, and you keep searching the right coin to trade. Daily trading will be difficult to do because you need to have the skills to get the right coin. I think you should try to do short term and long term trading since you still learning about trading. For short term trading, you can choose any coin at the market, but of course, you need to analyze one by one, so you can find the right coin. For long term trading, perhaps, you can choose bitcoin because you will hold it for a long time.

But some altcoin can be profitable in the long term, but that will be difficult to know as the altcoin will always follow bitcoin moves, so I think it is better to select bitcoin for long term trading. Long term trading can be called holding a coin for the long term, and you don't panic if the price is down, but in reality, many traders still panic if the price is down. So be careful
8578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: TIPS FOR NEWBIE GAMBLERS ! on: October 30, 2019, 04:05:06 AM
I am sure there are more tips for newbie gamblers, for example, know your limit, controlling yourself, don't be greedy, withdraw your win money and never think about continuing the game because that will make you lose your win money. But I am afraid that newbie gamblers don't bother about the tips because they will have a high curiosity about gambling games and some of them will play more and more. Newbie gamblers don't know how to stop the games because they enjoy playing gambling.

But not all of the newbie gamblers do that because I am sure that some newbie gamblers can prevent themselves from spending more money on gambling.
8579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: October 30, 2019, 12:44:34 AM
But, by the way, to be honest, I've also experienced in a month never won even once, and of course I have to think about earning money outside of gambling. Cheesy

So you know that gambling cannot be a source of income because you have experienced not making money in a month. But perhaps, that will depend on the game you've played because if you have skill in poker or sports betting, I guess that you can make money, but the amount will vary from day by day. Still, in the gambling game, you must have the luck to win and make money. It is better to have another job that can give us money than to try to make money from gambling because the chance will be small.
Indeed its not a reliable way to earn decent money or to even grow your capital because its very risky. Only few gamblers can make gambling as their profession because they have the ability, strategy and knowledge to do it. It might impossible to think it can be a person's way to earn or to sustain their daily needs but there are really people who are relying in gambling. Nevertheless if you're aware that you cant make money through it then better change your treatment to gambling as a way to entertain yourself or as pastime.

Nevertheless, many gamblers still trying to use gambling as a profession because they dreamed that if they can master one gambling game, they will have a chance to make money. It's a pity because they cannot even learn some lesson to become a pro because they need more than a lesson. But that is not impossible, but it is hard to earn money to fills their daily needs from gambling. I hope one day, I can meet someone who uses gambling as a way and a source to make money so I can know what he/she/they do.

You can choose the apps you want by reading this article:

Quote

I used Polotrex, Trextracker, ZTrader before I knew TabTrader. After I tried TabTrader, I feel that the apps are accessible to use, and I can trade everywhere while I am not using my computer. You can get the API from each app, and you can also disable the withdraw function, so you don't have to worry about stealing your money.

You can find more apps that can be used for your iPhone, but make sure that you only install the trust apps, so you don't have to afraid of the malicious malware, virus, or trojan.
