In terms of research, the technology that currently exists for solar panels and batteries is more than good enough. But society as a whole doesn't move in that direction, only individuals do. So it's a very slow movement. Think about cell phones. This was a very fast movement that the whole world got behind. Nothing really stood in its way. The technology was created and constantly improved, and distributed all over the world. That type of movement isn't there for solar. And the current interests in energy don't want to give up the control, power and money to decentralize energy into individuals having their own electricity with no dependence.
Our energy companies are "crown" corporations, meaning they are partly government organizations. These organizations aren't open to the idea that one day they SHOULD be obsolete and replaced with either solar, geothermal, wind, hydro, etc. renewable energy.
That's true, it's good enough but thinking about it, it's the people who can really change something. A collective effort if you think about it. It's started by a person then suddenly two or more people starting using it then boom, a whole community then it will start changing the world. It's just fantasy because like you said, they want control of the energy because they want the money produced by it and definitely it's something that is really profitable. It's just that, it's not helping the world, it's helping the controller of it. Yeah exactly. Not everyone in the world is for solar because they might have a personal financial interest against it. And unfortunately, it is these few people that are getting in the way of mass distribution because solar is "too expensive". It's foolish to think building and installing a solar panel is too expensive. For oil, aside from the countless wars that surround oil, you need to test/drill for it to find it, build a rig on it, then transport the oil to ships, go half way around the world, get on trucks to distribute...and we consider this to be "cheaper". It's a foolish way of thinking in my opinion. Right now, my hopes lie with Tesla to take the initiative and push the distribution of solar. Check this out...they basically converted a small island that used to use diesel fuel into a solar island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkQBVoS9lAoI have seen articles that support the older models of transportation that provides lots of Carbon Dioxide emission that is harmful to the environment and the government is trying to overrule it with the latest type of model which is newer and it is actually electric cars and the people would be beneficial but the drivers of the old models, the Jeepney in the Philippines, are rallying about it. For sure there is someone who is behind it with financial gain and I think money is all they think about. |

Nobody is asking me, but I had a conversation about ransomware the other day and they seemed to had a general idea about Bitcoin and that it was used by hackers.
My family isn't following the price of Bitcoin, so they don't really care. It's the same with stocks. A company could go up by 200% in a week and we wouldn't know or care, because we haven't invested anything.
Indeed. Nobody is asking me what bitcoin is and I think why people not asking me because they don’t have any interest in bitcoin. In addition to that, they also don’t know that by using bitcoin you could earn and make money. I hope someday some people will ask me about bitcoin and I will tell to them that bitcoin is very useful. Nah. Like you too nobody ask me about bitcoin. I don't know if they're just shy to ask me or they are afraid of me  Well if anyone got interested in bitcoin and they ask me I'll teach them the basics and how this forum works and that's all. Not to the point you spoonfed them. I thinks it's better when you explore yourself into different things. My workmates have already asked me, I think multiple times because they are curious on the price. They are just concerned with the price and not how it works, and whenever I try to explain it to them, they just don't want to know how it works. If they are really interested, you can see it in their eyes, that they want to learn about it, they ask questions and after that, I refer them to this forum because it has a lot of things here. |

gambling is not alll about money. Its about fun, entertainment and co-relation between gamblers. Think of it as a type of socializing with others. Money is just a number but the real essence of gambling is Entertainment, thrill and satisfaction.
One thing is for sure is that gambling is already related to money. Be honest, once you heard the word gambling, it's already pertaining to something that has value. You put money and you expect something in return. I hope everyone treats it with entertainment, not for profit making that you would rely on it. |

Actually, I do believe in second chance. However in cases that drug addicts just keep on repeating what they are doing, I think violence is the only solution to that.
If caught once, then rehabilitate, imprison then set free. But if they repeat it, whatever the reason is, just put them in grave. I believe that when they repeat it, they will do it over and over again even if you jail them.
It's really a hard decision knowing that they could easily go back because that's who they are, drug addicts are somewhat prone to the temptation that they would go back there and you know how hard it is to quit something that's a part of your life already. They deserve a second chance but it's hard to give it to them thrice or even four times, it's just that dumb to do. |

I will buy a high end pc gaming for my own room if i won big amount of money on gambling. The problem is it's hard to won much money on gambling, rofl. But if someday i won big amount of money, i will buy it for sure and give it some to my parents and my brothers.
Why waste your money on a high end pc i don't get it. There is something called playstation and xbox in this world which allows you to play mostly any game you can play on pc without any lag. Then why do you bother spending a fortune on a high end pc unless you are a developer or content creator I think what he does with the money he won is a smart choice, by buying playstation and xbox can reduce your intensity gamble and will give positive impact maybe you can stop gambling by have new activity. I think it's made for gamers only if you are a professional gamer that's when you are going to buy a high-end PC and of course you need a high-end internet speed too. If you just buy a high-end pc with your hard earned money and your not always using it, then that's a loss of money, it could've gone to better parts and budget it to other parts. But if that's what you want then go, it's your money anyway. |

I have experienced a lot of games in the arcade and here are the most games that I liked, Time Crisis (all the types of games), The Walking Dead, Brick Game, and especially the betting game. The ones with racing frogs and you could bet on who will win, it's fun and a good way to multiply your tokens.

I do wasting my free time browsing in the internet and checking for my news feed in facebook until I learned to post in here.
I think that in this time of age, you can never be out of the internet and especially technologies because the thought of doing things with technology is inevitable. Enjoy everything while you still can. |

Gambling can teach you life lessons like money management and how to control your greed and be patient. It can also teach you the hardships of being greedy if you choose to be so. I think this is the biggest lesson any if us can learn.
Gambling teaches us not to gamble anymore because we are just losing money on it instead we could earn some, what is happening is the complete opposite of it. I don't know why people do love gambling even though they know gambling won't bring any good fortune to them, especially those addicted ones, they are doing everything just for them to have something to spend on gambling, they don't care if they are going to have so many debts in the future as long as they are not quitting gambling. And specially to those people who do not play gambling with sense. Most of the people in gambling want to win every bet and everything there in casino and they are more confident that they can do that and their over expectation and over confident cause the main reason of their lost in gambling. Because in gambling you need to think and use your mind select the right and right occasion to put your bet specially when you realize that your luck is with your but not for every time without any planning and strategy. You shouldn't just go on and gamble even if you have extra money because that's not the greatest thing to do, thinking about it you would just lose everything and probably your family would be angry with you because the money could just be used in better things with the right priorities. You would be able to learn that through experience and making it a stepping stone in your life. |

Night time in US in poker when most American gamblers are drunk
lol That's a smart method for gamblers all over the world. I should try to begin gambling during the night so I could get a bunch of free coins by a bunch of people making the wrong selections at night. I usually gamble any time because I gamble when I feel like it. Not only for the moody people but even for the addicted people it is too much important that they must have a limit to play gambling, because such people play gambling regularly it means if they want to continue gambling for a long time. While moody people play gambling often and therefore if they will lose money for one they will not be effect so much even after losing a big amount. These moody people are the one who gets addicted after a short time period if they're experiencing good win or loss, because initially they won't make any limitations which is the drawback. In my view when the moody people loss the next time while they play try to retain the loss happened in the past. This might succeed else the scenario continues causing addiction and with some they set limitations and continue gambling. I totally agree with you, this is may be an opinion but this usually happens and even I witnessed some kind of people having an attitude like this. As for me for example they have lost small amount, the next time they play must be double or even bigger than that amount, as to think they want to regain their loss at that moment. Its people who usually play games and gets impatient are the ones who get addicted. Their area a lot of individuals who are like that and probably every one of us knows one. It's not that they shouldn't recover their losses, but they should keep their limits and protect their funds more instead of depleting it all. It's not going to go well if that happens. |

There are a lot of people probably lost in the outcome, it's good that I hadn't bet because I might have lost as well. I haven't seen the match but I think it's somehow been a dirty fight and I don't know if they are just biased or not. It's decided in the end and you can't change the outcome anymore, even if you watch the replay, lol.

Gambling has its way to make players think irrational, that is the reason why most of the time player who have played long hours and have established a good profit make large mistakes like betting all in on higher chances and would end up busting. I am happy for you OP that you have quit gambling and I hope not to see you in gambling sites ever. :p
Gambling isn't that bad as it is a way to entertain yourself. But if you are addicted to it then its like drugs you will give each single penny of your to get hands on the site with bitcoins. Gambling can be a good thing for you if regarding as entertainment only, you can really relax with it directly or it will help you to relax indirectly and to feel good afterwards. You just shouldn't abuse it. And the abusing of gambling is trying to make it the source of your income. I do not think that there is any entertainment in gambling, if money is not involve , you can get entertainment from gambling if you will invest money, then either you are winning or losing money but it will entertain you for some time. if you are winning the best then you entertain and enjoy for a long time but if you will lose the your entertainment will over as your finish the game. I think no one agrees with you if you said there is no entertainment. I think if you are using tokens that are free, that's entertaining because you got to play and just not lose anything and I think that's entertaining. If you are winning all the time, you should know that that has a limit. |

you just have to learn trading once you think you're good at it then you'll have a great future making profit in trading not like in gambling all you need is luck to win.. though they are some games that requires skills and strategies like poker but some games you just have to roll like roulettes and dice games. Both trading and gambling have risks but you can minimize the risk in trading if you're going to be good at it.
Trading is more profitable than gambling but if you have good experience in trading. And you know all the trading skill and have good knowledge and analysis about trading, then trading is more safe and less risky to make money. Even if you will invest a big amount of money will be confident about and will always get a good result from it. I think what your talking about is profitable in a sense that you would get more money in a safe way unlike in gambling it's an instantaneous thing that you could win for a few seconds then suddenly lose when you make a losing bet. The exchange is what going to make you think of what is going to happen, it's not always going to be so safe if you don't trust, it would just destroy your mind because of worrying. |

Just take the money and run once you get good gains on the gambling game, otherwise you will get too addicted and lose all of your lucky gains. Don't forget that gambling is just luck, take the money and put it somewhere, I still think that if you want to gamble, at least study the altcoin market and make some trades, don't just stay on the casino all day dreaming to hit the jackpot.
No one can get satisfaction for any amount that he win in gambling or any other source of profit. People want to earn more and more and will not stop for earning limited amount, and especially after earning money from gambling, he wish to continue gambling and make more money, but I think it is not possible to make money from gambling for every time because gambling is mostly depend on our luck. It's always the reaction of the people, they want to earn more and more, that's how they become greedy and soon when they lose they would want to come back and that's just the first thing. Well, it's not always the case but it helps to know what you are going to do when that situation happens to you. It's not bad to celebrate when you've won something as long as you don't owe anyone money. |

Of course not. It is not shameful on being somebody that is out of those people's imagination who judge someone instantly without them realizing uniqueness. Well being unique is something that is within us since we were born. Don't be ashamed on what you are now or in the future because we are born as a unique person and we don't die as a copy. And all people have different fields on where they can excel. If you excel in gambling then continue at it.
Same, now if I was gambling an losing a bunch of money each time that I gamble then that would be a bad habit to have. If I make money through gambling and have spare time to do whatever I wanted then i would consider gambling as a nice hobby to have. It would definitely be a bad habit because the effect of it is negative. It doesn't work that way, there are a lot of resources that you are going to lose if you become addicted to it, but gambling occasionally is not a crime nor be shameful. Just be positive and don't get too deep. |

I haven't seen gambling websites that use a social media account to log in and store some of your information there, it's like why are you going to do that, especially if you are being anonymous and the gambling site uses bitcoins. I know there are gambling sites that use Steam, and I think that's okay because steam is widely used and technically, you are playing.

It's one of the strategy that a gambler can do. If he's not good in poker and can't apply analysis with it, I can say that he can apply this in sport betting. It's like you are becoming a sports analyst but you are doing that to make the chance of winning higher.
If you are a good poker player, will your analysis work if you keep on getting shitty hands? it wont work and it is definitely not going to help you at all. Dont think that when you could analyze everything then you are going to have advantage. In the end you are going to have some luck in order to win the game Good or pro players know how to bluff and probably just fold if they think that they couldn't win on that round, that's going to be a smart move. Strategies are made because somehow you need to improve your chances in winning, not just applying strategies for nothing. If you think about it, that's how people become rich, in gambling, but there is no guarantee and you need to put full effort with it. |

It depends our capacity if we can afford a loss in gambling then we can try gambling. or else investing on the gamlbing site is a good way to make money. We have many good well reputed sites, and they are sharing their profit with investors since last few years. So those who interested in investing they can invest and make money. But we need a big capital to make money in investing.
If you can afford it , it doesnt mean you are free to throw away your money. You may want to throw in some to try some luck but if you say that you are going to get alot of money by trying some luck then dont. There is only a thin difference between being sane and being foolish to do such a thing Well that's true, you should budget your money to the right things and believe that you can use it for its purpose. You have to save something so that in the future, you would have enough money and probably you are going to believe that you actually made it without gambling. It's better to invest, that's a bigger rule. |

Nothing is easy in gambling. Even if we really understand and familiar with the progress of a sport, there is no guarantee that we will win. At first, It looks so easy to win in sports games, but frankly the reality is not the case.
Nothing is because the more you do it the more chances that you have to lose. Knowing that you could probably avoid it instead of participating in it and just losing money for nothing. Lucky for you if you always win because like you said, there is no guarantee. It would be fun to enjoy the games, but it wouldn't be enough if you get greedy. |

I think my biggest win yet was like half a BTC, fortunately I was able to not succumb into the easy temptation of dumping it for some trash. I was able to save it, and invest it to convert into 1 full BTC, that was my full BTC ever, investing in the altcoin market, I was able to get a lot of gains in the XMR pump back in the day, one of my best trades.
That's great! How much was your bankroll and how did you get it? Did you somehow get it in dice, roulette or some other thing that's worth going into play? It's fun to see people who are becoming really successful people or has already become their own bosses in Bitcoin, and really a part of the community. I hope I get to win on that amount someday. |
