9141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: August 13, 2016, 05:49:53 AM
Gambling can be an illness ifi causes the destruction to one and other around or financial difficulty as well. This is why there experts to help ga!blera with the addictions they have and suffer from.
gambling is a disease, so many negative impacts. especially if we play under addicted and can not control themselves.
if you want to gamble, at least you were able to control themselves, so it does not become something bad.
How you know that gambling is decease? gambling is a kind of game that giving entertainment to people not for giving a disease.
Maybe you are saying that addiction can be a sickness because its number one that you can get in gambling that can hit your life miserable.
whether the results show many people are entertained? or many people become rich because of gambling? of course not, they mostly become damaged because of gambling. and yes, addiction is a disease, it can make a person's life is destroyed, not only that, but so many other harm.

The real thing  here is about gambling addiction not in gambling game itself but  they are all just the same. Gambling addiction would definitely wreck your  life in the end because  there no such being rich in doing gambling, some may say its for entertainment  but the result is still the same which youll end nothing.

For me, there are three types of gambler: 1. ordinary gambler that bets randomly (usually always a loser) 2. professional gambler (they lose some and they win some), and 3. Gambling just for fun.

The first type of a gambler usually gets busted right away when they bet, but professional gamblers stand for longer sessions. The one that is prone to messing with life is the first type of gambler, the one that profits big or small are professional gamblers, and the one that is very happy is the gambler that plays for fun only Smiley
Only those in the number 3 you have mentioned which is gambling for fun will never consider gambling as sickness because the more they play the more they enjoy their gambling hobbies. I hope all the people are like that so they would not have any problem afterwards.

Even you said treating gambling as a hobby but  theres still a bad thing since everytime you gamble  theres a money involved even if you said you only bet  small amount but you play everyday and keep lossing then those  amount would be pile up and would be a huge amount which is a really bad thing in doing gambling.
9142  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 13, 2016, 05:47:26 AM

Not all the time, there are gamblers that are not after those excitement and thrilling life ,  sometimes they are after the profit...


Yup! I would agree with these, not all gambler mind set are the same and not all have the same goal when they are betting gambling, all of them have a different kind of way of thinking that is why some of them ending up addicted with gambling and some that can control the urge in getting addicted will still be the same that is why you can never say that all of them are like these and like that!

And I would like to add also that gambling is only for people with great control in gambling and who are matured enough to determine what is the right thing to do in gambling, one should not be easily tempted to follow his emotions and will resort to wrong decision making like chasing bets until he lose.
True, gambling always needs self-discipline/self-control, if you don't have this, for sure you will just wasting your time in gambling and you will just lose your money. If we see gambling as if we can earn money, better stop immediately because that is not good. But if we see gambling as just an entertainment and not to make profit then I think it is fine for you to play.

I agree with you. You need to control your emotions and manage your expectations before starting to gamble. It is best to gamble reasonably. Set your self a certain amount as max loss per day,and when you reach this loss stop to gamble. Don't get addicted.
True self-control is necessary in order not to regulate gambling addiction. Organize betting is very necessary in order to minimize losses. People get hooked on gambling probably because gambling was fun and could benefit so that they continue to play and earn a profit.

The expectation of having a profit in gambling would not work or happens all the time. It may  go to the opposite way that you expected and  that the time where greediness would come up  and even your experiencing  losing streaks you keep on betting. As you said  self-control is needed to control these such situations and  youll not easily get addicted to gambling.

I don't think your method will really work, because it's depending in gambling, and tha&t's risky as known. It's better for you to collect your earnings from faucet and hold it in your wallet.

All i can say that  it would be better if he/she stays away with those faucets because its really time consuming  and  it could gain you a little satohis out of it which is not worth for your time.The hardest part is when you gamble all your faucet earning and lose then  you would definitely cry because you made effort for nothing.
9144  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to earn bitcoin by sig campaign? on: August 13, 2016, 05:07:45 AM
It's easy to earn bitcoin by doing signature campaign. You're getting paid by doing what you are already doing, you just have to put an advertisement on your signature. But, you have to be careful and you should post constructive and on topic posts because otherwise, no one will accept you in a campaign. Another thing, the population of people here are so much that it's starting to get hard to get into a campaign. That's why I recommend joining a signature campaign that seems to last a long time instead of hopping from a signature campaign into another.

It is easy for the ones who are old into this forum and knows what to write and where to write it but it is obviously not easy for the ones who are new to this industry and does not have any knowledge for writing anything.

I think they should spend some time here on regular basis and gain knowledge first and then join any campaign, and then their knowledge related to bitcoin will reflect in their posts.

Well thats right, the reflection of their knowledge through their posts would only be visible if they spend quite a lot of time only in reading and understanding the things around them or about bitcoin because the knowledge they will get from that would only be of good use later on when they will have to choose anything they will have the idea if what would be the best for them.

Its better to learn things first about bitcoin and other things related into it before you rush up to join in signature camapaigns so that you would be ready enough to participate and you already know what would you do  if you are already there. Unlike having joining directly without any knowledge would lead you to have a big problems on joining campaigns.
9145  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Discussion]What work would you do for 1$USD per hour? on: August 13, 2016, 05:02:58 AM
i think mining is best solution, now i can earn arround $8 perday , and currently im trying to build new mining rig maybe in the end of this year i can earn $1 perday Smiley

well, mining could be a solution I can agree with you. but everyone can't do this. everyone can't afford to buy all mining equipments and necessary stuffs to start mining. it is very expensive and if someone buy mining rigs etc some how then it need more expensive electric and power supply.
but yes. if someone have enough money to get all these important needs then mining is best option for him.

yes the fact that mining has always need big capital. especially if you mining bitcoin, the equipment is more expensive than just mining altcoin, which could use the VGA and PSU. I have a plan to build a rig with VGA and mine ETH, like my friend, who can get 0.012-0.013 BTC/day

Im really curious about mining ETH since i dont know what would be the set up and what mining equipments would be used and  how much would be the potential income per day basis. Does it compared to bitcoin mining or just  a little bit easier to mine?
9146  Economy / Speculation / Re: 350 USD in August on: August 13, 2016, 04:59:45 AM

The worst which could have happened to us has already happened.
Another exchange got hacked and we dropped down pretty hard to 465.
That was the bottom.BFX is online again and the price only can move up again if not another major exchange will have any serious issues.That is the only scenario I could imagine BTC to dive down to a 300 range. But this is not very likely imo.

Indeed, this hacking incident on BFX is dragging the bitcoin price. Another negative news will further pull it back. Though BFX got online, but recovery is slow but surely it will go back to the price before it crash. More people are hopeful that after this controversy,bitcoin will be on its feet again to jump Wink

Bfx incident causes the bitcoins price to drop its price drastically but it doesnt mean that it would go lower  than $350, maybe if theres another hacking incident then it would be possible. It really depends  on such circumstances that really affects the price. We can expect that bitcoins price would go rise up again after the incident and would fully recover its price or even more.
9147  Other / Meta / Re: Is it allowed to sell Bitcointalk account? on: August 13, 2016, 04:56:19 AM
In my opinion, it should not only be passively disallowed but actively disallowed and should be expressly stated and the reason for my position is this, if I can build my rank to HERO level then sell to someone else who is likely a scammer then he can scam innocent people or newbies in the system thereby bringing insanity and lack of trust into the forum this alone is enough reason to disallow it in totality...

You cant stop the decision of the people would intend to sell their account, it may have disadvantages  because some would use it to scam people, pretending to be a high rank  forum member because all of us here would definitely have  trust on those  seniors to us. Even the forum itself would hardly stop these things i guess.
9148  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your best investment strategy? on: August 13, 2016, 04:52:49 AM
In my experience, buying the dip on currencies that have a decent bought of volume has delivered good results. Of course you never know what is a dip and what is a top.. you need luck. Example, ETC dipped, I bought, and now im making money as it goes higher.

Yes studying the current trend why the price sits in a certain range will really help us to plan our next trading moves. Yes it's not accurate but at least you have an overview on what will supposed to be happen.

And besides it's really interesting to make an own strategy and you will see good result after.
It is true, if you are new in trading, make sure you start with a little amount for your trading since you do not know how the market would react so most of the time you fail on your prediction, but with little amount you can manage your losses and what is important is you can learned.

The moment you have learned already, that is the time to set up a huge capital for trading.
yeah. if you want to become a successful trader then you actually have to try everything yourself with small amounts of money to be able to trade bigger in the future
Even in real business, you need to start small as there is no guarantee that when we start we will automatically succeed. Most of the time in the first try we fail so to minimize the risk we need to put only a little but a decent amount to learned how to trade.
your right, before achieving success, We surely would undergo failure. I had a friend who had three times failed in estate ventures, but he never gave up, so eventually this time he was successful. and the point in trading is patience.

Its normal for us to suffer such failures in life  before achieving  succesful things ahead. Just consider and be ready that you would definitely exprience these things because its part of  the learning process.  You would learn everytime  you have made a mistake in such things.
9149  Economy / Economics / Re: How good are you at managing your money on: August 13, 2016, 04:49:08 AM
I am not good in managing my money because i don't plan how to spend money and where to use that money, So my savings are almost Nil, I spend  all my bitcoins i received from a signature campaign.
So you should learn how to save mate, you will only realize that when time comes that you badly need money because of some emergencies, lucky you are if you have your parents that would give you but still it is good to stand on our own.

Could not agree more. Saving money  is one of the best way to manage our money but that is not only that. We also need to budget some of our money for tithe, for charity, for emergency, for investment, and for fun Smiley
Your savings should be divided in different composition but the most important is to appropriate a bigger budget for your investment. It is your chance to prove yourself that you can have your own and you can manage your money to make money and would not rely only on working with other company to receive a salary.

Having a  savings  for yourself would be the best move or thing to do since you can make an investment out of it,same as you said. You can prove out to yourself that you can stand on your own and doesnt rely too much in your salary in a company. Just have a strong discipline on managing your money and how would it be spent .
9150  Other / Off-topic / Re: Make a Living Sports Betting? on: August 12, 2016, 01:06:12 PM
I will suggest you to not do it, making a living by only depend on betting or gambling is very bad choice, even if you say that you knowledge but the sport, but not every match can guarantee your winning, I think its the best just betting or gambling for fun, dont depend your live on gambling

Yes, depending on gambling or betting earnings is a very dangerous thing to do. Even though sports betting is skill based but we can't win all bets so it is quite dangerous and these also odds are not always high even few we lose also our profit may go down a lot. I will not make this mistake because gambling is not for earning money.

Gambling will certainly defeat, so we won't be apart from the defeat. Sport betting gambling much better than the lottery, for sport betting relying on thought and predicted that strong, so that if the predictions of the gamblers are not good so the gamblers could stop and search for gambling to another. This is a sure thing and we can only do so with great caution, do not get addicted to ruin our lives

Addiction would be the main problem if you engage too much to gambling games. Agree sport betting is better than lottery and it all depends on the predictions of each gambler and the trust for their teams and anytime  you should expect that luck doesnt  come your way anytime in every time you predict.
9151  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price will reach $4000 after halving ? on: August 12, 2016, 09:25:02 AM
4000$ is simply not possible to achieve in this year as we have not even crossed 1000$ yet, so 4000$ will take long time to achieve and may be in next 10 years we will see that price.

I do strongly agree with your statement since bitcoins price didnt even pass the $800 mark then it hardly impossible for bitcoin to reach $4000 price  as you see the rise and fall of bitcoin as of now. Its really hard to tell  how does it move it upcoming years to pass.
9152  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: August 12, 2016, 09:22:37 AM
I know a guy that bought a bunch of BTC in 2011 when my friend and I were first getting into it and he has never ever sold a single coin.
I have called him every climb and every collapse and he shrugs it off. He mystifies me.


He definitely trust the potential of bitcoin in the  future since  he doesnt even have plan to spent every single coin out of his coins which is also a good discipline to himself.  He would probably get a good profit  in upcoming years when bitcoin price reach to the moon and  thats worth it for keeping hte coins for so long.
9153  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Would you buy a hardware wallet? on: August 12, 2016, 09:17:15 AM
Hi all,

I am doing some research for a Bitcoin company that is interested with developing a hardware wallet to see if it has a viable market. Trezor has some traction, but perhaps only in the existing Bitcoin community. With things like Multi-sig popping up everywhere, do you think this negates some of the pressing need for Hardware wallets? Interested to hear your thoughts.
Hardware wallet is best if you want to store your coins safely but unless someone has more than 5-10 bitcoins,buying a hardware wallet is not feasible
There are some potential risks if you buy a hardware wallet, such as losing it or even someone stole it.

Both online and hardware wallet  have potential risk of losing your bitcoin into it. Just put up to your mind the most important things to consider to be kept on a safe place like passwords,keys so that incase your account would be lost  you can retrieve it.
9154  Other / Meta / Re: Is it allowed to sell Bitcointalk account? on: August 12, 2016, 09:10:28 AM
Selling accounts is allowed on the forum, but some members do not endorse selling accounts so they give red trust feedbacks to accounts that are for sale to decrease their worth. Do not post the username of the account you are selling or a link to it because someone will give you a negative trust.
So meaning theres a bad people give you negtrust even you dont do scam or no scam accusation from other people just for selling the account. Hmm I think that's not fair if you really need the money and you need your account to sell to have money in a rush for emergency purpose.

Lets accept it, since all people have different on the way he/she thinks onto things. We cant stop their decision regarding into it. Therefore we must be vigilant or aware to our actions which might cause that some people would give you negative trust that seems too unfair for you.
9155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If gambling is illegal in your country, would you still gamble? on: August 12, 2016, 09:08:21 AM
I dont care if its illegal or not illegal of playing bitcoin here in my country since i dont play gambling after all. I admit that i play a little bit when i suffer losses and i see dont have luck in gambling then i decide not to gamble ever again and i promise it to myself. Gambling would only lose my hard earned money if i decide to continue and thats the reality.
9156  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to motivate women to use Bitcoin? on: August 12, 2016, 09:02:11 AM
I'm sure if you just give a woman a bunch of BTC and tell her to buy stuff that would be plenty motivation for her to use it..

I hope so, but it's more like telling her to use your money to do a shopping... That could motivate her, but that won't let her learn how to get his own bitcoin or earn it... There is a difference in motivating and treating her...

If you give it just for free to them for shopping then they will simply spend it and forget and they will also get used to free money, that will not encourage them to start earning it.

Even if you give her a btc , she wouldnt even know how to  convert or exchange it to fiat. Therefore , youll be the one to exchange it to fiat and give it to her and thats also the same giving her a money and not a thing  on the way of convincing her to use bitcoin.
9157  Other / Off-topic / Re: Make a Living Sports Betting? on: August 12, 2016, 08:58:44 AM
Make a living with gambling doesnt give you any guarantee that you would survive in the long run since sports betting is also a gambling game which have a risk  on losing your money instead of gaining it. I would suggest to make investment sites because  you have enough amount to raise those projects on that case you would definitely have a good income out of it.
9158  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: August 12, 2016, 08:54:46 AM
In my country there are no shops that accept Bitcoin yet Angry
Do not be sad mate we are hoping that all store around the world will accept bitcoin as other form of payment in the future, but here in my country i can spend my coins by paying my bills, booking in some hotel & flights, and by exchanging in fiat i can buy anything for my bitcoin.
Besides, when there are only few stores that are accepting bitcoin, it would give you a chance to save your bitcoins as you will not be tempted. In my place there are only few or close to none stores that are accepting bitcoin so I was able to save more for the future.

Bitcoins popularity and development could not be stopped and it grows as the time pass us by and  for sure the future would be  good for us bitcoin holders and it would be  adopt by many countries which mostly of the merchants would accept  already bitcoin as a payment to their services and goods.

Anyone help me please?
I'm newbie...!

You ain't newbie anymore lol. If you have skills you can offer your service or if you have anything you want to sell try here.

He would probably not be a newbie anymore because this post is quite old now and activity count changes after every 14 days, so he must have been promoted to next level of account rank now.
Exactly, also with so many positive comments here, he might be making money already working online if he take the comments into action. Newbie should know this thread as it can help them a lot in their journey in the bitcoin world.

Thats the purpose of having this forum for helping and sharing good ideas to each other which would benefit us all.  You would learn many things in just  reading  on those helpful threads in this forum. Agree since  it would really helpful to us in our bitcoin journey career.
