Nah! Maybe if he told that he will give HALF of his persistent salary. Maybe for 1 year is okay but if within his whole term I think its not gonna happen. Let's wait after a year or 2 years to prove what he have been spoken in public.
well I don't think he actually has a need for it anyway. he's way wealthier than most politicians and I think he can do without the presidential salary. Although I'm not really sure if he plans to just donate that to charity or other institutions or whatever he's going to do with it. We'll just have to wait and hope for the best with a trump presidency

Yes ,quiting gambling is not as easy as we think ,but there are many ways to make unstead of gambling fun exploring other kind og investing or reading interesting and good news or stories also will help us .
yes that is a fact that quitting gambling is not so easy, it need your full determination your well power and your family and friends support and only then you can really stop gambling, but the  most important thing in quitting gambling is your own well.
well nothing is easy especially if your body is already accustomed to it and it's already deep in your system. it's even more dangerous with gambling because it will involve serious money. it would be really hard but if you think about the consequences it may cause, I don't think it's worth the risk to be too engaged in gambling. thinking about what you're  going to lose in the long run if you get addicted can, in a way, be a motivation to stay away.
9543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: November 13, 2016, 03:52:59 PM
With that amount, I think It will be a profitable investment but the problem is finding a good gambling casino to invest.

I'm sure that you're aware of its risks right? like every gamblig site can ran away with your money.

I suggest that you should do a deep research and find some highly reputable legit casino to invest on.

indeed. one should be very careful especially that this is concerning hard earned money. investing is taking risks and researching and studying about where you'll invest on makes this a calculated risk which will definitely boost your chance of getting a good roi and making good decisions. especially in gambling sites as they are more prone to scams.
9544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: November 13, 2016, 03:40:55 PM
It is wrong if you are addicted to it. Being addicted to something is always not good. It can ruin your life or worser than that. It is not if you do it for fun and entertainment. And not expecting a return after you gamble.
Of course, nobody wants o be addicted, but when we are in gambling we are having so much fun and we failed to notice that we are slowly being addicted. I wish we can outdo what was happen already and I do not like to be addicted either but chances brought me here. Despite of that, I will not call gambling as wrong.
Like you, only very few gamblers/people will not agree to call gambling as wrong. Maybe the reason they have not faced the real problems of gambling in your life. In my beginning days in gambling I really enjoyed gambling even I was facing continuous losses, but one day when I realized how much time and money I wasted in gambling, I started calling it a complete wrong.
well what was wrong there is your attitude towards gambling. it happens to almost everyone, perhaps not gambling in general but when you spend too much time and money on something that is not beneficial to your or your family, then that's what can make it wrong. we should be able to see how gambling can affect us and our daily lives and how it can ruin our relationship with those we love. gambling can be regulated. we just have to have a different perspective so that we can avoid addiction
9545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: November 13, 2016, 03:05:24 PM
Yes, experience is really matter in gambling. So you don't get busted in the same way, you will get lesson learned and i think experience is really important in gambling. Because pro gambler always learn from the experience.

indeed it does but depending on what type of gambling game you're playing. there's a reason why pro gamblers are most of the time playing poker and other card games. since these games doesn't mainly rely on a person's luck. games like dice and slots, I don't think experience would give you any edge because these games are mainly reliant on luck as the results are random.
9546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 13, 2016, 02:44:08 PM
I see these set of players that likely will run close to MVP candidates.

-Lebron James
-Kyrie Irving
-Russel Westbrook
-DeMar DeRozan
-Dammian Lillard

As of the moment, Westbrook and DeRozan are close to my predictions. I didn't mentioned some of the GSW players since they are shared players like Kyrie and Lebron at CAVS. By looking at their stats played in these season, RW and DD caught my eyes.

Any own thoughts of yours?

How about James Harden? He's playing great this season with a newly found chemistry under the new coach.

Rockets have been very amazing playing with good offense, they just beat the Spurs at home and it's very rare that it will happen and only good team can do that, now they are playing at home and will host the Spurs. It's going to be a great game.

For me the closest to be MVP is between Russell Westbrook and James Harden, they are bringing their team, but looks like Harden is more of a team player as of the moment.

Westbrook uses his athleticism but Harden has great basketball IQ and a clutch player as well. - My thoughts Grin

Harden is a great player however if you compared him lebron james and irving , he is definitely out of the game. MVP means that the player is good in almost every status however compared to those two, harden is not going to make it to the top 2 and at most he could get the top 3 MVP , that if only they decided to make split the MVP through a rank basis

yeah I agree. harden is an exceptional scorer and also good at setting his teammates up but then compared to the others on the list, I think he pales when it comes to the defensive part. this early I think it's also between demar and russ. both are playing exceptionally well. I think with the departure of kd, westbrooks game would elevate him to his first mvp if he can take okc deep in the playoffs
9547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: November 13, 2016, 02:19:39 PM
The problem with most investors is that they go there thinking that gambling is the same as investing, when it's a very different game, so what people need to do is learn how to properly research the stock or commodity or whatever asset they are investing at and see if it's worth the risk.

Sure investing in a way is a gamble since you need luck too, but the more you research the less luck you will need.
that's the basic info that is needed to be learned before entering investment knowing everything and the possibility of gaining coming from our investment unlike playing gambling we are always relying with our luck because even we are already getting big edge sometimes or most of the times our bet still loses unlike if you have proper knowledge inside investment opportunity is much lesser risk.
Yeah I totally agree with what you've said there. Starting out investments in something that you don't have any information on is like playing poker for the first time with experienced players. there's a chance that your investment will be fruitful, but that will depend on how lucky you are. compared to when you're investing with knowledge and preparation, the chances of you getting a good roi would be a lot better
9548  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Save the planet or not on: November 13, 2016, 02:02:23 PM
This planet is only humankind stepping stone. We will not need this planet once our civilization reach level 2. In the future we will build planet size Biosphere Ships that can accommodate trillions. Unlike earth this Biospheres that is floating on Space has no earthquake, typhoon, tsunami, volcano eruption and other natural calamities. It can also travel to other places to escape incoming asteroid or roque planets.

Future Humans don't need this planet anymore. Because they can create more beautiful and safer than earth.

Creating your own planet ?? hahaha this is the most bizarre sentences and funniest I've ever heard. By looking at the earth as it is now, how can people make their own planet? What do you think makes the planet as easy to cook an omelette?

LOL. haha I had quite a giggle there. yeah I don't know where you got the idea of creating our own planet dude. but seriously, right now this is the only one that we have and with the way we're treating this problem it's a bit scary how this will end up if we don't take this urgently.
9549  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: November 13, 2016, 01:44:05 PM
i do not think something like it because it already did. com'mon 700$ will get you 1bitcoin it is already rulling on everything at every country if you have bitcoins then you have the popularity and i am glad to be a bitcoiner
well it doesn't necessarily mean that because the price of bitcoin is higher than the dollar, it has the capability to replace it. I don't think it works that way. bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and the use of bitcoin today, even though it's beginning to get popular following, it still minimal since it's a digital currency. more people are still using the dollar, fiat currency, and I don't think that will chance for a long time. we may not even be here anymore if in case a time will come that crypto will replace fiat.
9550  Economy / Economics / Re: USD vs BTC on: November 13, 2016, 01:32:20 PM
If Dollar dies, everything dies. Simple as that.

Simple Logic: If bitcoin was better than Dollars, why does everyone freak out when we see a crash? If bitcoin was that good, you wouldn't give a fuck about the price drops right?
simple but correct answers from you because i could not imagine if someday dollar crash or even dies that will have bad effect to the most of countries in this world but if bitcoin dies or dropped there is no bad influence for the countries but crash price for bitcoin only have bad effect for bitcoin users that's why bitcoin will never beat dollar 
Yeah I agree with you both that bitcoin won't even pose a challenge to the usd in a very long time. although it may be that bitcoin will be widely used in the future, the dollar is far too superior than any cryptocurrency and I think that would be the same in decades to come. but I think not all currencies actually depend on the dollar here. it may be that the dollar is where most currencies base but not all are dependent on it.
9551  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin goes up very high should i buy a house? on: November 13, 2016, 01:17:01 PM
If at some point bitcoin could reach a price that will allow us to buy a house with it is very likely that the seller will just accept or bitcoin without the necessity to convert it to fiat money, besides you will face less fees.
to me i think yes, but it depend on the amount of bitcoin you have and also on the place value where  you want to buy a house, and also the area of the house that how big or small the house is, so i think if you define these thing the you can easily estimate the price of bitcoin for buying a house.

If you have a large amount of bitcoin, and the cost of the house is less 30% of your bitcoin holding, then it is ok to buy a house.

well yeah I don't think it would be good if you put all your bitcoins in buying a house and then start again from scratch. if you have enough bitcoins, it would still be better if you'd leave a certain amount left to work with again after purchasing. although that would mean that you have a considerable amount of bitcoin already in your hands.
9552  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you guess about he future of bitcoin? on: November 13, 2016, 01:04:19 PM
Even with my little foray into the world of Bitcoin I couldnt but wished I had come earlier because the today which is the future of yesterday is brighter than yester days and it can only get better. So, in the future which could be tomorrow or next or even 2years from now, I see Bitcoin soaring higher and also see regulations coming and even me not leaving this world.

yeah you're correct in that one dude. bitcoin definitely is going nowhere but up and that means that most likely the government would be involved. im just hoping that it doesn't change that much once the government tries to regulate bitcoin because I'm also seeing in the near future more and more people being aware of it's benefits and using it
9553  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to manage money? on: November 13, 2016, 12:50:15 PM
Don't use credit card. Avoid living for a credit at all cost. Debt=slavery. If you don't need something very badly now and you can't afford it then it means it is not for you.
Wait month or two, save your money and buy your desired item then. The only drawback is that is not possible with real estate market and you will have lend money.

Yeah I agree. credit cards lure you to unnecessary spending. its still a better feeling when you get to purchase a wanted item without you worrying about payments afterwards. though credit cards also have their uses for important contingencies and emergency expenses. just make sure to pay on time as the interests when you fail to pay on time are a bit hefty
9554  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: November 13, 2016, 12:44:58 PM
i will break my piggy bank.. cause i have save some  money in case of emergencies..


LOL. but yeah you're right. that's the reason why it's very important that we have savings for situations like these. instead of looking to other people when things get financially desperate, we have our own back up bail us out.
9555  Economy / Economics / Re: The Future of Money? on: November 13, 2016, 11:40:43 AM
Most likely everything will be digital in the future so paper money will disappear and everything also in real stores will be payed with digital money, we all will have our phone for it or a simple card.


The future is actually going to be more digital as we can see that happening everyday, but we cannot be sure if bitcoin will be the digital system adopted in place of paper money or the governments will make their own digital systems that will be implemented on us.
Yeah paper money would still be around and a lot of countries most likely would still have paper money as their main currency especially poor countries. It's highly possible that digital currency would be widely used in the future but paper money for me would be be a strong currency
9556  Economy / Economics / Re: Mexican currency is dropping fast will they use BTC? on: November 13, 2016, 11:31:38 AM
No. No government will allow Bitcoin to be used as the default currency because of its anonymity. Just like it happened with India it will probably happen everywhere: measures will be taken against the black money. Except that, even I wouldn't prefer Bitcoin as the default currency. Except the fact that I'd be anonymous, it'd be hard for many of us especially because of confirmation time.

Yeah you got that right. Of course governments would want to have control of their own currencies and with how bitcoin works, it will be hard for any government to manipulate and regulate it due to its anonymity
9557  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: November 13, 2016, 11:29:16 AM
Everyone dreams that. To achieve that dream we must do it by hard work not by doing bad things to people like stealing or scam their bitcoin just to be rich. It would feel great getting rich with bitcoin if you work hard for it. You will appreciate every single of it.

You're right, but I want to achieve wealth is not hard work. I hope that, thanks to Bitcoin it will be possible
Hopefully. But things do look promising as we can all see bitcoin's price moving higher and higher. And you're both right. There's nothing like achieving your dreams without guilt that you stepped on someone else to attain it. I think we btc users should actually help and support each other as well as make other people aware of btc's benefits

much better if you invest it on bitcoin there's a high percentage that you're money will grow than saving it from bank which you may lose when you're in a long run. i've invested my money in bitcoin because time will come that btc value will raise more than today's value. if you save it from bank you can get low interest, not as much as if you invest it on bitcoin or other gambling sites. try investing it on betcoin.ag you can have a more stable profit.

Ya might invest in bit[Suspicious link removed]d choice. We can benefit because of the price increase bitcoin, and bitcoin fluctuations always tend to rise so it is very suitable for investment. It was risky, but worth a try because we must have the courage to take risks. Besides investments such as stocks and gold are also required. Investment is crucial that the most important consideration should be with. But saving money is also very important, because it can be used for future use. So both are necessary and equally important for our lives.
Without saving their money, no investment will not help and no deposits. Because the more money a person gets, the more he needs. And in the end it still will not be enough. So the first thing is you need to learn how to save.
yes the most important is how a good to savings, namely by way of a simple life and frugality was much better.
of course, investment is always a risk, but an investment or grow the money is a necessity in life, to keep stabilizing expenditure.

Now a days investments is the best way and save the outcome.. risk is just always a part of investing but it all depends on how you manage ur money. investing on bitcoin is just like you  are saving.. your money is working for you Not you are working for your money.
indeee you got that right there. Investing makes your money move even if you just leave it. It would just depend on where you'll be investing just make sure that you gather information first as it will be important to lessen the risk. But it would also be best if you can save at the same time. Both should go hand in hand for a much better result
9559  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: November 13, 2016, 11:08:58 AM
For me the best way to earning steady income is joining signature campaign, because in my opinion signature campaign is good for earning bitcoins. You can earn up to 0.05 per week and you also can do some little task to earn income.
Yeah surest way would be signature campaigns as you definitely will get paid at a constant basis. Though it's not really a significant amount especially if you're still low ranked but it is steady and would be a good side income if you have a day job
9560  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: November 12, 2016, 04:29:16 PM
Paper money is relevant in the future through bitcoin transaction.
I dont think paper money will be remove in the future as this is
being used already. However, lets admit thats its really helpful
 to all bitcoin users.
I think though true digital currency will be more popular in the future but I'm sure it will not be disappearing to make paper money, because paper money will always be needed for offline activities
Yeah you're right. Cryptocurrency would most likely be considered as an option for people aside from fiat. Though obviously paper money is still more needed than any other currencies, with crypto's growth many people would already be aware of it and would start using it because of ita benefits
