921  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the usual mistakes that newbie traders usually do? on: January 12, 2019, 03:28:51 PM
As I was a newbie before. I started trading bitcoin and ethereum. After quite some time while hodling it, its price went down. Then a started to panic and sold it to a lower price. After some months, its price went high again. Poor me.

That's commonly to happen especially for newbies. Afraid of losing more money and thinking that the price will continue to move down, mostly will occur. To avoid such mistake, we may leave the trading platform after we make some buy orders. Overseeing the price movement too often may trigger our mind to be panic.

Winning in gambling is something amazing but that is not my main target. For me, as long as I can gamble and I don't get a serious problem because of it, that's already quite encouraging for me. Honestly, targeting winning as the main goal can provide the opposite results. Too many bad examples caused by gambling habits out there.
923  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people but bigger bets in sports compared to other type of gambling? on: January 12, 2019, 06:18:28 AM
I would like to know why people are trusting their luck more in sports gambling compared to other type of games.
Personally, I put bigger bet on sports because I believe I have a little skills that would give me a better chance of winning, but I'm not really serious with sports gambling.

Minimum bets in sports bets are usually higher than other types of gambling games such as dice for example. The results of sports betting will be known after some periods of time, around 90 minutes in football, which doesn't make sense if we only put a small amount of money. It will be different with dice game where we can put small amount of money at any time without the need to wait for an event to occur. I place a bigger bet on sports betting because that is what should be done and not because I feel reliable in this type of game.
924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: January 11, 2019, 11:09:23 AM
No, it's the right idea because if one is enjoying gambling he will not become focus on the possible winning and he will not be greedy, with that mentality, it will make him safe from being addicted. The real purpose of gambling is just for entertainment, that is because they have the edge over the gamblers, so they'll win most of the time and we have to accept that in order to put a limit on the amount we risk.

Yes, we are risking our money here, we are not giving it because although we're here to enjoy, we also aim to win.

But, can we ensure that the people we convince will play the games just to have fun all the time? Frankly, people's minds will change based on the mood they get for each moment. The ability to control mind will differ from one to another and that is why, for me, it would be not so good to convince people to gamble no matter what the reason is. It would be better to maintain this habit for ourselves.
925  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be careful of strange projects on: January 10, 2019, 01:50:45 PM
all businesses do have to be run carefully and always think well in making decisions so that in the coming day the project will make a big profit. before you take part in the project you better check the project that will be followed so that you avoid the failed project.
Unfortunately, many business are not being run carefully because people do start those business only with the intention of scamming people. This is what mostly happening in the names of ICOs. I agree there are lots of good projects are there and they are running good and responsible ICOs but at the same time many people are starting ICOs without proper concept but for the reason of collecting investor's money and then to run away.

To avoid future hassles, we must be careful before adopting any new project. But, many people are just listening to their friends opinion or random people's posts  and then start joining into campaigns of new project without checking on their own. If you value your hard work then you should go for on your own analysis before start supporting new projects.

When there is a trend that involves a lot of money in it, of course bad people will exploit it for their own benefit. Super extra caution must be applied. But fortunately at the moment, the trend of ico has faded and I'm sure these bad people will gradually disappear. But we must remain vigilant, because they must be waiting for the next trends.
926  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Peoples truly believe A LOT in Bitcoin on: January 10, 2019, 08:47:54 AM
But why ? Because it's the first cryptocurrency created, and the most used in the market ? What makes you believe that Bitcoin will be the eternal king of the market, and something else won't replace it ?

I'm surprised everydays of peoples saying that "btc will be the king forever" without delivering a proper argument.
That's why I created this topic, not because I want to know "who will be the next king" or "BTC will be replaced soon", no, I want to hear a proper opinion on this matter, without some BS such as "it's the king, because it was the first". In that case, why would he's still be the "king" right now, and why would be he be in the future ?

Bitcoin will remain as the main digital currency. Altcoin is just a complementary. If for example, something good happens to bitcoin, then alts will benefit from it. And if something bad happens to bitcoin, alts will suffer too. I mean, there won't be any alts if there is no bitcoin. Without the existence of bitcoin, I think people won't believe in cryptocurrency anymore.

928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you remember your first sports bet? on: January 09, 2019, 04:34:32 PM
Here in my area, sports betting will be so crowded especially when there is a big soccer's event like world cup, euro cup and so on. And through such event, I knew sports betting. It was a long time ago but I can't remember on what match I put my money in. It was an offline gambling and there was only one market that I can play. It was asian handicap. But now, when I already know online gambling, I can play at any market from a single match, which is good because we have a bunch of choices.
929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing casino games online a good idea? on: January 09, 2019, 03:18:50 PM
If people play for fun than it would be nice as they can play from anywhere and anytime. But if on the other hand people gamble just for money it would be bad idea and might not want to always keep on gambling which could lead to addcition.


At first, maybe people's intentions are just for fun. But over time, the first plan can change and this isn't rare to happen. People are addicted even though they bet only as a prankster at first. Financial problems are the main thing among the other things that can change our minds in gambling. It is our job to keep steady with our first plan no matter what will happen during our gambling actions.
930  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why trading is unhealthy? on: January 09, 2019, 01:04:56 PM
Trading activity will be unhealthy if you doing this overtimes. If we are full trader is should be do this job maximum 10 hours aday and 6 days aweek. We need to have some relaxing to manage emotion in trading, so just like others job we should dont over trading and take rest or doing hobby when tired.

Yes, we have to manage our time by not using most of the time in front of our device just for trading. Doing an activity in excess can certainly interfere with our physical and mental health. We also need to get along with people in our environment, of course. So there must be time for other purposes outside of trading.
931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is this the right time to explain about bitcoin to others..? on: January 09, 2019, 10:11:58 AM
Anytime is the right time to explain Bitcoin to others. The question is can you explain it to them because in order for you to explain it to them, you must know even the basics only. We all know that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general is very complex that it will be hard for some average persons to understand it. This is why I don't want to explain it to them. I just let them know how Bitcoin works.

Explain it to others mean we persuade them to invest in cryptocurrency which is very risky thing to do. And if in the future, after they invested in bitcoin for example, then the price move down significantly, for sure we will have a bad feeling because of it. So, it is better to explain when someone asks about it, therefore if something bad happened, we won't be blamed. Moreover, right now, the market condition isn't good enough, so I think it isn't the best time to explain it to others.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction? on: January 09, 2019, 08:41:48 AM
By seeing myself I can say that addiction is strongly correlated with Loneliness or sadness. I can see myself gambling when I don't have something to do or I am at home watching sports and betting on matches. Also, I have felt that I gamble when I am sad and I want to make an achievement for me even if this is winning a bet and getting some money (even if this sounds funny!).

Another example was that I was gambling a lot when I faced a relationship break up. It made me not thinking about other things and kept me busy.

Many things can drag someone to the gambling world and become an addict. However, the motivation of each person must be different. Loneliness, lack of daily activities, persuasion of friends and so on, can be the first point for someone to enter into the world of gambling.
933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can myetherwallet still work? on: January 08, 2019, 03:49:50 PM
I heard that the wallet MEW may not be used anymore, this information is true. So if the wallet MEW for some reason can not be used then can we use any other wallet?

Until now I don't see any news related your statement that mew won't be used anymore. I opened the site and there is no warning about it. But if you aren't confidence enough to use mew, you can try the other wallet such as metamask.
934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler was being robbed on: January 08, 2019, 01:32:56 PM
There are many possibilities about the robbery. It could have been planned or just happened, because there's a chance. The risk of carrying a lot of money, especially what is known by others, is certainly very high. And that happens not only in matters relating to gambling. And yes, at casino, there could be some bad guys who oversee gamblers and when there is an opportunity, they can do bad stuff for their own benefit.
935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is the best Auto-Bot Dice strategy? on: January 08, 2019, 09:01:34 AM
Even how hard you will try winning against the house and use every combinations that you thin will work, in the long run same results will happen as emotions will conquer your minds, aggressiveness and greedy will always show up each time you bet, play and have some fun and don't try to have a good system to win as you will engage too much from this activity leaving you become to addicted.

True, if we bet continuously then the end result will be bad. There is no strategy that will produce win all the time. Winning can occur on rare occasions and our wisdom is needed to manage it, therefore we can survive longer. Gamble responsibly and stay focused on our plans to avoid bad situations. Gambling will be bad if we follow our emotions!
936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have I joined at the wrong time? on: January 08, 2019, 06:45:59 AM

I am newbie and some of my friends who are already into crypto market say I am late. This isn't the time to start investments and I must refrain and just research for later.

Do you think the same? Is it really not the time to invest as a beginner?

If we use the last bullish in 2017 for reference, yes you are a little late. But if we use crypto as a whole, nothing is too late even if you want to start investing now. Continue to believe and do your own research, maybe one day good things will happen again while you're ready enough.
937  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With a booming on 2017 and difficult time on 2018, will Bitcoin recover on 2019? on: January 07, 2019, 04:21:49 PM
It is too early to say about 2019. We have to wait for a while. Some people would easily say that 2017 was an up year and 2018 was a down year and why not 2019 could be an up year? But it is not so simple.


We just can wish for the better condition during this year. For me the existence of bitcoin will be more important instead of expecting the price to hit its highest value again. I hope in this year more people and companies will adopting it. If the acceptance of bitcoin is widespreaded then the price will be increased too.
938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: January 07, 2019, 02:48:49 PM
When something has become a routine, to stop it will certainly not be easy. We must force ourselves not to gamble again even though our minds want it. Seriousness is absolutely necessary if we want to stop and if not, then our intention will only end as a desire. Point #1 itself, if treated correctly will be enough, I think!
939  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your key reasons of choosing a particular exchange for trading? on: January 07, 2019, 01:49:05 PM
I just solely base on popularity. It's like when I don't what movie, anime or tv-series to watch, I just based on the rankings made on video review and it always works for me. Kucoin and Binance are still on the top for me after I discovered it  getting mentioned always.

The more popular an exchange means that the place is already trusted and yes, picking an exchange based on popularity could be good. I use binance and kucoin too but it isn't too often. My main exchange is still, indodax, an exchanger from my own country. It is because such place already exist for a longer time and it's support IDR(my local currency). I prefer to trade with crypto/fiat pair instead of crypto/crypto pair.
940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The key reason for gambling on: January 07, 2019, 06:13:39 AM
Everyone has their own specific reason on why they gamble, some people just do it for fun while others do gambling because they want to make profit out of it, and the last of the last are the people who are heavily addicted with gambling because they want to be successful just by gambling and that they think that it could make them millionaires just by playing and sitting all day in the casino, and in my own personal reason I only play because I am in the middle of wanting to make extra profit and at the same time just have a good time in the casino.


Indeed, everyone has their own reason why they did gambling but frankly the same reason for all of us will be to earn money. The different from each gamblers is on the way they handle the game. Some people can accept lose and moving forward while the other people can not accept it. People who can't accept the loss will try to chase the previous loss and do some rage betting at the end which for sure will lead them to the very bad state at some points. I myself prefer to gamble just to try my luck with small amount of money and whenever I failed, I will stop hunting. I want to earn money and having fun at the same time.
