941  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about the idea of a bitcoin shop in big cities? on: November 27, 2016, 06:41:12 AM
If you think of it, it’s going to be okay to have bitcoin shops in cities especially with many people that has lots of bitcoin users. The people who needs bitcoins the most are the most active. They should hire like a manager that knows a lot and have a lot of experience with bitcoin. Especially, the security is also upgraded since a lot has happened, hacking etc. If it's still a small time shop it can easily be hacked and have their information and wallets.

Why does the risk of it getting hacked have to do with whether it is a small time shop or a big shop?  As long as you take proper precautions, anyone can protect their bitcoins.

I agree. And it is not possible to suddenly open up a huge btc shop. However, if you want to make it big, you can consider work with big company to introduce a one day btc shop in a mega shop. So if you pay in btc, you can purchase it at a discount rate.

My country is the first to introduce bitcoin atm, my government is one of the first to encourage the use of btc. HOwever, things are not starting well with us. After placing a btc atm at popular spot, it was later shift to a quiet place because no one use it even when the flow of human is great at the shopping mall. N there is no shop here that support btc.

Hello Guys, I would like to know you're understanding about online gambling and real life gambling. Since here in the philippines online gambling is now illegal. I'm just curious what's the difference about this too. Why make online gambling illegal?

Well, there are different reasons for banning gambling in different jurisdictions....but most of the time gambling is banned because the country doesn't want its money leaving its economy without having something coming back into the country in return.

That is a very big error you say. The reasons why the country want to allow gambling is because casino is one of the best ways to bring in money from oversea and not out of the country. Usually casino attract foreign investors to setup casino and then attract foreigner to come to the country to gamble and spend and then the casino can be tax at a higher rate compare to others so the country has higher GDP. The reason why country ban casino is due to the social problems it gives.

Gambling is supposed to be to earn stake while wagering or betting, but gambling casinos turn it to entertainment to make users unaware of the possible trick to make them addicted to gambling.  So whenever I am to play gambling games, my aim is to win a stake or win a profit., entertainment is just a bonus.

Well, that should be the face of gambling, but in order to make it profitable in the market, you need to cover it up and make it looks like a candy... No one will market their product with negative label in it and put it in bold letters... Anyway, I am a gambler too before, and my only goal is winning and nothing more than that, fun? well, that's like a placebo, to make you feel fine even if you are not really...  Cheesy
Thanks for telling the truth, I admire that kind of people. Honestly, I can also be happy when I win but when the outcome does not favor me then I need to accept that and move, gambling is not only my life but it's part of my life.

As long as we bet what we can afford, we can easily move on.

Gambling itself is not wrong but it is how people abuse it. That is why if one can control their spending and gamble within their own limits, gambling itself is totally fine. But it is said easier than done and that is why so many people lost themselves. I am glad you can control yourself.

Well that's why you have to study and research thoroughly first where you'll be investing your money because if you invest in something that you have no idea with, its the same as gambling already. I've also made quite an amount investing in altcoins though it takes a bit of time. The difference with gambling though is that investing can give you a clear picture about what you're going to get if you prepare for it while in gambling theres no assurance in whatever you do
Having the enough knowledge in investment can make you successful indeed, you should only invest to those trusted and guaranteed sites/company. There is no more reason to be ignorant nowadays, use internet in good things. We can really make money online.
Yes we can make money online if there is some legit investment site but its hard to find that kind of investment, most of it are scam. though i still prefer to invest my money rather than to gamble it.
The only safest investment so far for me along the riskiest form of investment is just by holding your bitcoin for the future. In that way, you will not worry so much as you are taking in charge of your money. The future will determine your fate, either you will lose all your money as it may become worthless or you will make a fortune for holding.

Holding btc is a good choice actually. Previously, i was trying to use bitcoin to find ways to generate bitcoins and end up i losing more btc cause the mining company went down and a lot of other projects which fail. So keeping btc is really a good choice.
946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling Investments on: November 27, 2016, 05:28:33 AM
These results re just pure luck, there s no way anyone ll see 1000 BTC lost by one single person again as it happened on Betking a few months ago. So these graphs represent PURE LUCK and nothing more.

You are wrong. You just invest too little and therefore you keep focusing on what you have experience. Like what i have been saying for this thread, when the TS posted that he had won quite a good amount of btc, i said that it is very timely. I invest in betking before him and the past 1.5 months before he invested, it has been on a losing trend. So you just enter at the wrong time and is there only one big whale who lost? Nope, in my half a year of investment in betking, it already happen a few times already. Betking with so high rep means that it has a lot of supports and not just one whale.

Also bitcoin is in his young life.
If bitcoin is going to be the offical payment mrthod at the future then it is going to cost a lot more then it is now,anf everybody who owns bitcoins is going to be very rich.
Just prepare yourself to the future.

It is good to get more bitcoin cause bitcoin has proven that they have one of the best transaction tools and they can afford a lot more that even the bank also cant do it. However, it is not easy for people to take up btc as compare to bank so it will take quite some time.
948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is GAMBLING? on: November 26, 2016, 05:00:30 PM
I want ask mostly people are saying in Gambling we loss everything, but they are still playing gambling.
WHY?
Then people saying that it is Game and fun so we are playing.
I want ask you, Is it Game so you are playing, otherwise what is Gambling?
1. GAME
2. INVESTMENT
3. BUSINESS 

To me, gambling is a great tool of investment for me. In fact, it is the best tool of investment as i have tried many other ways and most of them ended very ugly. I am glad i invest in casino and i made quite a good profit out of it.
949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling Investments on: November 26, 2016, 04:58:48 PM
I had some free time and i went ahead and made the chart that i meant above.
I believe this is much more informative than just having the chart for total profit:



p.s. i could not continue past week 10 since new casinos were added and the investment amount was changed.

I love this graph. It really shows a clear picture of the whole breakdown of the casino investment path. Even though most of them has almost the same house edge, they all produce different result. It is also good to know about the percentage of profit but that would be different to find out.
950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: November 26, 2016, 04:56:09 PM
I do odd 2 with 100%
Then I tell my self that if i lose maybe almost 10 to 15 percent of my current hold BTC ill stop, but if i win 10% I will stop and think about playing or stop playing. If decided to play i will must stop after losing 5% and never thought of winning..hehehe

This is a very simple method but it does not work in the long run. Even when we say so, a lot of people still refused to believe and what to learn things the hard way, they keep claim that they can win for 5 or 6 times and they assumed that they can do so for the rest of the life.
951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 26, 2016, 04:54:40 PM
Gambling is addicting because it is a way for you to earn money without any skills required. Unlike other methods of earning money, you need to have qualification and knowledge, gambling dont. However, they dont want to know that gambling also make you lose instead of win.
952  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin highest price was $1109 on: November 25, 2016, 09:03:19 AM
I would have to say it will be over $1000.00 next year. People are already starting to see the value in bitcoin, especially in poor countries where the fiat is weak. I have seen so many videos where people are using Bitcoin instead of there fiat that there country is providing.

Whenever a country has problem in their currency, btc will be a good talking pt. Just like usd in the past with oversupply. Later on it is the rmb, and now it is about the rupee. So more and more people are starting to lose believe in their own currency and this is where btc can shine out the most.
953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: November 25, 2016, 08:58:33 AM
I am not a good trader so i dont know hwo to profit from there. However, investment in casino has been a great journey for me. I have profit quite a bit and it is making me quite happy for the easy maintenance.
954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: November 25, 2016, 08:55:17 AM
Those who are engaging on illegal activities by the use of bitcoin they are just putting themselves in danger. Bitcoin will having a negative mark regarding that once their government knows about it and for sure it is highly possible to ban btc in their country by the government.

Physical cash is the most common medium for purchasing hard drugs, firearms and other contraband in many of the countries. Did that lead to the banning of physical cash by the governments?

btc has been made popular by illegal drugs in the first place and that is why now so many people start to know of it. Although it has a bad start, it is the system that btc has makes it popular from then onwards. The system is very useful if it can be used correctly and a lot of government know that. That is why they dont ban btc but at the same time study on how to use it effectively.
955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: November 25, 2016, 08:52:04 AM
I dont think bank can disappear. We still need each country to have their own central bank to provide what they own country needs. Different country have different needs and it is very hard to use one btc is classify everything. So the bank will still have its purpose but with more help from btc technology.
956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin fees, where's your limit? on: November 25, 2016, 08:48:21 AM
I am OK with transaction fees of up to 0.50% of the total amount. And right now, the average tx fee seems to be much lower than that amount. But still, I am worried about the future. Just hoping that the fees will remain stable in the future as well.

0.5% is quite a lot. Although it is still consider little by other payment methods, i am looking a the far future where mbtc or even satoshi can be the norm price of things. By then the fee has to be way lesser.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: November 25, 2016, 08:36:00 AM
all the gambling player must have been in trouble in gambling, whether it's lost all the money he has, or hooked up losing their self control. Well, I myself was getting both these problems, maybe it's because I too enjoy the game that made me lose control of the gambling and it really made a negative impact on my life

Not all the gamblers. In fact,  many of the gamblers are quite ok with gambling because they are used to it and spend what they can. If you are gambling until it have negative impact on your life, then you really need to consider of getting help cause you are spending what you cant afford.
958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I use my small amount for GAMBLING? on: November 25, 2016, 08:34:36 AM
The skill of gambling is to control your bankroll and spend what you can afford. So by just using a small amount for gambling is a good practice and how do you make sure you dont overspend the amount is the soft skill that you need to have in order not to be addict to it.
959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: November 25, 2016, 08:33:30 AM
the feeling of real gambling cant be beating in more eyes the buzz you get when you get the cash back in your hands feels great. when you online it can feel like you just playing for fun.

Real gambling can be very satisfying if you have real cash every time you win. However for online gambling, there are chances that you win big. So you can win a few btc and you will be equally as thrill cause a few btc is worth thousand of dollars which in real life is extremely high to get.
960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: November 25, 2016, 08:31:46 AM
Gamble a little and invest bigger. Make gambling just a fun moment and dont let it succumb you. Investing is far more better than that easy money with gambling which also offers easy way to being broke.

I also like investing and i have a long history of investing in btc. There are investment that really go way bad and i lost everything. I also have tried investing and it prove that the result is actually quite impressive.
