9061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ONLINE GAMBLING WILL BE BANNED IN THE PHILIPPINES on: August 18, 2016, 08:12:16 AM
If they try to ban online gambling in the philippines maybe they would  have a hard time on implementing it since internet is so vast and its not easy to ban all of those existing websites  especially to bitcoin based gambling sites  because  for sure  they dont know even about those sites i guess.

this news is mostly about gambling in general not just online gambling so they will close down the physical casinos first and also it is not that hard to block these websites. any site that is registered in their jurisdiction will be closed down and any other site will be blocked. you can still use TOR,... but still it is harder.

Stopping physical casinos would be easy  if  the law is implemented  but not compared to stop on those online  gambling sites, yes you are right  they can easily be blocked  but people would  definitely find a way to gamble as you said  using that TOR would  be unstoppable i guess.
9062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 18, 2016, 08:09:19 AM
gambling, alcohol, nartotics and sex... they all can ruin life


and im addicted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only natural thing on the list is sex - all of the others are only created by men. Even things that are natural when done excessively, is bad - how much more the things that are just created by us in this world.

All things are bad if you do it excessively as you said. Even on the simpliest things  which could a human  do. Some things are good in anyway but when the times  you almost use it everyday or do it without skipping a time  then for sure it would do some bad effects on you and to your life.
Sex could even be bad as too much sex will destroy your life but if I were to choose between gambling addiction and sex addiction I would force myself to choose sex addiction as long as I can have different girls in my bed. LOL..

Anyway, back to the topic, gambling is really something we should be careful as it would ruin our life if not handled correctly.

In general any kind of addiction is not good. If I had to take, I rather have a gambler addiction than sex addiction because you don't really hurt yourself physically just financially.
But I will go with sex addition as I believe most of people are already living happily with that kind of addiction. For sex addiction you can find a finishing point where in gambling addiction, only the end of life might be the finishing point. Gambling is not a nature thing in my opinion, so going within nature is not that much harmful.

I agree with that, going  with nature  isnt harmful  compared  to gambling addiction. Even they have the same effects like  in sex addiction  it also involves money and  if you let that happen continously then you are  just like doing gambling because of the money involvement and  you might get a disease with it. In short  addiction on different things would not give a good effect on you and you should expect the opposite effect.
9063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: August 18, 2016, 08:03:19 AM
I would rather choose to invest than gambling, they are both risky but investment has less risk compare to gambling. You can make profits in the long run from it just make sure that you are in a good and trusted company. I invest my bitcoin through holding...

Thats a right decision there pal, and almost users in here would have the same  answer to yours. Investment would be the best if you are planning   for a  good long term profit because in gambling you cant guarantee your money their because almost gamblers out there   lost their money in the end. Its better to hold   your bitcoin than to gamble.
9064  Other / Off-topic / Re: Old people earning bitcoins on: August 18, 2016, 07:50:45 AM
I think there is no age limit in earning in bitcoin there is no rules that if you old at 45 you can not gain income in bitcoin and also blockchain can not detect if how old are you because they not required to put your birthday before you enter in bitcoin community.
Exactly, I really do agreed with what you said, and that's the good thing about in Bitcoins. Our identity is very safe and secure, isn't? Even for  a kids is open also, if some of the age below 18 years of age as long as they understand what bitcoins is, they are welcome in this field too. I will be if many of the old people will participate int his kind of field industry in Bitcoin. Wink
Yeah, there is no age bracket required in able to engage in bitcoin as long  as you have the knowledge about it then theres no problem with that. No matter how old are you it doesnt matter since bitcoins  one of the  best characteristics is its  anonymity and no one  could recognize or even know your name  and age also.
9065  Other / Off-topic / Re: What to do with my signature campaign earnings ? on: August 18, 2016, 07:17:06 AM
Right now i am earning close to 0.01btc per weak with my signature campaign but i just dont know what to do with them.I want to grow them and reach a good amount of btc but only collecting will take a long time to reach a good amount.So i start to gamble with them and till now since 3-4 weaks i have lost all my signature campaing earnings.I win at the start but i become greedy and gamble more and then lost them.
So i decided not to gamble with them can any one tell me what are the other options which i can do with my earnings.

Gambling is a very bad idea on using  on your signature campaign earnings , its better to hold your coins rather than playing it on a gambling site.  Even that 0.01 per week isnt bad after all, just save it and you wont notice  the amount is piling up  and you realize in the end that you reach a decent amount in just saving those  sig campaign earnings.
9066  Economy / Economics / Re: What percentage of people on Earth will own Bitcoin by 2020 on: August 18, 2016, 07:12:06 AM
by that year 2020 my guess was  only 5% because the population of the world is so huge and  as of now only a little percentage or partition of  it  maybe 1% or less than are people who knew bitcoin. Somehow it would be added up in upcoming years since bitcoin is becoming popular.
9067  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how to make money on bitcointalk without campaigns on: August 18, 2016, 07:08:45 AM
If we talk about earning bitcoins besides campaigns then there are many ways to earn it, like selling services, lending services and trading, you should choose the best that fits you.

All of those things you mention are possible ways on making  and earning bitcoin in this  forum  but  in lending service it would be a little bit harder since you should  have  a reputable account  before having this type of business because no one would trust you if you  make a lending service with an account of a newbie.
9068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your aim in gambling???? on: August 18, 2016, 07:02:39 AM
Hey guys i want to know what is your aim while gambling do you take it as way to get fun and excitement? Or your aiming to get more money and have a living for this thing?



To not lose everything ^^
You made me laugh. LOL of course  because you are there to make a profit. Havent heard yet that they go to a casino to lose everything. Main goal is for profit and the fun is just a bonus if you win.

Well even you are aiming not to lose everything if you don't know how to manage your time and your rage properly. It is going to happen that you are going to lose everything for sure. But if you are going to be wise with it and your aim is to get profit and you are very a responsible gambler then you are going to get your aim.

Possible but not yet guaranteed since  you would also rely on your luck on playing gambling games because no matter how you control or study  the game but  luck isnt in your side you would definitely  fail that game and   would decrease your bank roll. Skills  are just part in gambling but mostly in luck part.
9069  Other / Meta / Re: Is it allowed to sell Bitcointalk account? on: August 18, 2016, 06:52:41 AM
I don't like that selling of accounts is allowed. Yes, there are also allowed to promote ponzi schemes and it is worse thing. But for promoting ponzis users getting negative trust, I think same should be with account sellers. Because we don't know who can hide under sold account.

There is actually no rule for not selling the accounts of this forum that is the reason why people trade accounts most of the times, so if there is no such rule mentioned in the list of rules then also no staff member can flag them with negative trust for doing it.

Correct, theres no such rule that selling accounts is prohibited in this forum thats why the market still goes on with selling of those account which some see it as an andvantage especially to  bad guys out there using it  for scam purposes but some people would  purchase to  so that  they can  easily join with the campaigns.

It is prohibited also for the buyers its because you never know that the account you have bought is a faulty product which is came from hack, defaulted loan or anything bad you can imagine thats why buying and selling accounts are strongly been discouraged by mod so people would not be compromise from the risk behiding on those one, So better think twice on dealing on accounts because the money you used from buying it will never be retrieve anymore if the real owner will come to get it back or tag it with red trust.

Thats why buyer are responsible on their action whatever possible things might happen. If you really  want to buy an account make sure to ask the most important details or things  to consider before buying, as he said  be sure that its has no negative trust , doesnt have a loan or any problems involved with that account.
9070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: August 18, 2016, 05:35:48 AM
Bank is bank even there are new currency come with a great value bank will still remain standing and stronger because all of people know how bank securing your money and that is the advantages of bank the insurance of the money of individuals.

Bank is only a storage for your money and cant be affected  even  how many currencies would be stored their, therefore bitcoin cant make banks  disappear since  bitcoins is only a digital currency. agree, the insurance and the security is the advantages of a  bank.
9071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: August 18, 2016, 05:30:17 AM
I strongly recommend invest instead of gambling. Many people got broke due to gamble, therefore if we can invest in house, we will earn money in the long term.

Yeah that is a wrong move if people are going to get addicted with gambling. Gambling is not a good thing to get addicted for it.

It is better if you are going to be addicted by means of trading and you are going to get good profit out of it and you are going to learn a lot from it.

But even you gamble and you are going to invest you just need to be responsible for it.

Most people would  rather choose  trading than gambling since most of us knows already the results on playing gambling which is we lose all of our  money. Its far better to do trading even  the profits are long but its sure anyway but remember you must play smart on trading  because trading  has also risk on losing your money if you made a wrong decision.
9072  Other / Off-topic / Re: If i give you 10 BTC what will you do? on: August 18, 2016, 05:26:06 AM
I would hold the majority for the long term, but would invest a portion.
Keeping money in bitcoin wallet is a form of investment but for me we know that 10 bitcoin is a huge money we can do a lot of thing with that amount, i will start a small business to help my earning in bitcoin and to have also stable income in a daily basis.
That's what I'm thinking too upon reading this thread.  10 btc is a very huge amount and you can do a lot of things with it.
And also for me,  I will build a business that would give me a never income and  could last long in years.


Many people here in this thread have the same perspective as yours on having a business for  having a long term profits in the future. Thats the best idea  when you have such amount of 10btc its already a big amount especially to my country, you could definitely  build a business with that amount.
9073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 18, 2016, 05:24:28 AM
No it is not wrong unless your religion says not to do it mor it becomes a big problem in your life! Dont let it destroy you !

Religions will always be against gambling, but disregarding religion, if you know that it will not bring you any good, for sure it is wrong for you to gamble...

If you will gamble the money that should be spend in more important matters but you tried to double it and instead of doubling you lose it, then that is when gambling is wrong. I only use faucet when i am gambling, doing faucet in dice game gives me profit of 5mb + everyday depends on my luck.

If you have to gamble, just use your money and play only with small amount which you afford to lose. Because gambling is addictive so you have just to take care.

If you are overdoing gambling and abusing yourself and use the money that was supposed to be used on other things more important to you and your family, for sure that is wrong and could possibly lead to a complication and misunderstanding with other family members who might need that money that you used in gambling...  Smiley

Exactly, with that situation  you would really mess things up with your family or  relatives  because of your addictiveness  on gambling would  create  a complication between  you and  your family as other said. Money is important in order to live and sustain  the needs of your family, it is very wrong  to use those funds just to play gamble.
9074  Economy / Speculation / Re: 350 USD in August on: August 18, 2016, 05:21:27 AM
350 seems like a big low of a prediction to me, but the way things have been looking recently I do think we are going to be going into a bear market.  Slrst case I would expect around 400 this month.

I would disagree with you,  it wont reach that low bracket price as op mentioned because even  if we suffer from drastically drop price previously because of some matters but  as you see at the price of bitcoin as of now it gradually increasing as of now it may drop but a little amount only for sure it wouldnt reach $350.
9075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 18, 2016, 05:19:11 AM
Honestly i never made any profit in gambling casino online but i already made a profit in local lottery because i always trying my luck and buying every day a ticket and make a lots of profit..
But here in online never made any profit..

You are lucky enough to win those  local lottery since it has a little chance of winning with those number combinations. Online gambling is a lot easier  on gaining profit instanty but it depends on how you play and also how lucky you are. But remember  the risk is higher and faster to  loss your money.
9076  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: August 18, 2016, 05:16:19 AM
Followed the advice of some users, i invested on XAURUM. this token is backed by gold and now digitized token to which we can trade on exchanges.
Its going to be listed in few days or weeks later on, you should know it once it is as it will create a buzz later.  so i now don't have to choose whether gold or bitcoin. Smiley you guys should also invest to xaurum, it may have greater value later.

Ive heard about xaurum and read about the  signature campaigns about xaurum  and they reward their participants with xaurum, You are right i didnt see  it on exchanges,as you said maybe it has a potential since it is  combined gold and a currency, right? . Investing  on that coin would have the potential to have a good  profit in the future.
9077  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Guide] How to rank up your account without spamming. on: August 18, 2016, 05:12:43 AM
Wait, as much as I know, from the newbie readme, you'll get activity points even if you make one post in the perion of two weeks because that formula for getting activity isn't in the game anymore, is that right?
It still does, gaining  activity points  every two weeks  with just one post  on that  timeframe , even if you post  how many times on that certain time  still 14 activty  would be added on your potential activity. Back to topic , just be active on the forum and dont mind of leveling fast and do constructive post.

That is how it works, even if you dont be able to make 14 posts in two weeks you will still get your activity counts later on when your posts reach the amount of activity counts, so a newbie really does not need to do any post without reason for just ranking up but first they should learn and later on when they do constructive posts they will reach to their potential rank.

Correct, with these idea many newbie would not  do spamming because they are already informed how the  potential activity works, so that they wouldnt need to  make post that are  useless just to cope up with the  post count that they are believing which is wrong. Just read in the rules and regulations into this forum before you engage to posting things.
9078  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: August 18, 2016, 05:09:09 AM
It depends on the opportunity and the availability of capital.
In any situation you should invest in a planned manner, without compromising your financial life.

In that case you would be more successful if you would just keep your money, opportunity comes in when you have capital, but without capital the chance for you to find opportunities is small... It is common thing to do to plan things ahead of it,

In any situation you should invest in a planned manner, without compromising your financial life.


It is common thing to do to plan things ahead of it, only fools would invest or start a business without planning, it's like wasting money...  Smiley

Rushing into things without any planning would be like a suicide because  you dont  have any plans or goals on a certain things. You wouldnt  even know what you must supposed to do when you are  in a actual situation therefore, nivesting your money without knowledge  to a business is just a waste of money  same as others said here.
9079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 17, 2016, 11:09:11 AM

By wearing the signature of a gambling site doesnt mean he supports gambling or thinks that gambling is not a bad habit, but he is wearing it because the site is paying him for it and he is never told to only praise gambling if you wear that signature.

I think differently. if you wear a signature of a gambling site. you should support that site. with your posts. and for this some time you need to play gamble also. because without playing you can't write constructive posts about gambling.. joining a signature and posting shit all over the forum and saying that gambling is not right gambling is bad it doesn't make sense. even it is completely against of the campaign and the company you are working with. respect the company you are getting payment from.

a partially agree on both of you and have a point. i think we have different perception regarding this and we can't say what is right we just believe on what we know and what we feel.


Answering the OP. gambling din't fix nor destroy my life. because i play on it just for fun and i didn't deposit a large of money on it. of course i want to have some profit that's why i play but i didn't make it as source of income because i have a decent job with high salary. hahaha. but i want to avoid gambling as far as i control myself.
Maybe at first, it is just right to try our luck if we can make money in gambling but after many unsuccessful tries we should learn that it is not possible for us. From that point, you need to be practical and enjoy gambling more and only play it for the sake of entertainment.

Correct. If you are in a situation in your betting where it is no longer fun anymore, then you better stop playing at once. Also, we must only gamble for entertainment if we don't have system in place. However, if you would like to be like professional gamblers, then you can start doing your homework now of becoming pro gambler.

Theres no pro in gambling no matter how veteran you are in the industry of gambling the results are only the same, which is losing oyour money in the end. Treat gambling as an entertainment  and you must  have control on your funds so that you wouldnt not wreck your life.
9080  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to motivate women to use Bitcoin? on: August 17, 2016, 10:39:05 AM
it is very easy job women can easily be convince they just need some proof and they will start using bitcoin because they love money more than men.
They love money but not for the way to gather the money, because she always taking an easier way to getting money. I sure they will say to reject your offer about bitcoin because i think that is very complicated for her.

Well we can't deny that most of the women are only for material things and money they don't care about any other thing. If you are going to give them gifts and fiat money with the exchange of bitcoin then for sure you are going to do it right. And they are going to be motivated if they are going to find out that bitcoin is real.

Maybe some would be convinced and some wouldnt have any interest at all even how hard your trying to explain to them since most of the women dont like complicated things and all they like  is to spend things  easily and buy all they want and like. Motivating women  is really hard  to do.
Very true to motivate women to use bitcoin to be fascinated with bitcoin. If they are interested they are certainly right to be easily taught to use bitcoin. But women are difficult interested in bitcoin.

For sure many women would not get interested in engaging into bitcoin since  they only knew fiat as a currency on buying all their wants. I agree  convincing women to bitcoin would be  very hard  they only like simple things.
