1001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: April 03, 2018, 08:05:15 AM
can this world stop in gambling?
someone who like to gamble hard to escape from the gambling trap. almost like a drug addict. Even after they went bankrupt still struggling to gamble by borrowing money for gambling. Actually what do they expect?
What do they expect? Like everyone who go on gambling they expect winning. So even though they’ve lost a lot or they been burried in debts they still do not quit for a hope that one day they are going to recover all their loses. Sad but true,

People want money and they think that in gambling they will win every time whenever they gamble and this is what cause them to end up losing money and become addictive as they will play more to recover money or make money and this will be harmful for them.


Hoping for something like this will just kill you, literally. Hoping to win in gambling as you please is not going to happen, you are against the house, winning is like a rare thing to happen, you could win but not as big as what you think. Gambling should ends in yourself if you think that you are not getting anywhere with gambling, you must learn how to give up especially if you know that it is not worth it.
You know what my friend, gamblers do not pay much attention to the words of people like us. They love to learn things hard way. You really think they are unaware of all these facts about gambling that it is difficult to win big amount and the house has always edge over player. It is not like that. Gamblers are this way. First they all will lose initial money. Then some will give up and majority will try to recover the loss or try to earn money in hope of good luck.
Yes, all gamblers are always aware of what they have done since they are smart and have their own thinking but we're just only human that can be eaten by greediness and easily get into temptation if its all about money and in the first place gambling now a days is a normal recreational activity so i think gambling is hard to end.
Humans are made up from virtue. Whenever we are making some mistake or doing sin, there is a sound coming from within us asking for leave that sin, don’t do this, o brother you are doing wrong, don’t do this. We all often hear such sort of sound and this is all because we know we are doing wrong. Same is the case with gambling, they all know they are doing wrong but still they don’t accept it until completely ruined.

You know whats good about OPs advise to gamblers? His advise is applicable to traders. Seriously if you apply those in your trading strategy, you'll have better chances in gaining profit than losing in trading with the current market condition of trading Altcoins or Bitcoins.
That is sure thing. What you have in your hand, if being invested or traded in bitcoins then surely everything would be doubled. All your so called profits in gambling would be turned in the real profits that will be felt so strongly.

Dear friend, think before you do. Act of this wise statement and change your life standards by trading and investing in bitcoins and have a happy life.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling: Culture on: April 03, 2018, 06:58:43 AM
Have you ever wonder why even there are a lot of negative things gambling bought, it still doesnt leave us ? Is that so, gambling has been a part of our culture , even you have plenty or not. Rich people often socialize in the form of casino, while the poor are contented on country games with lower bets. I, as a person living on a third world country, witnessed how gambling form our culture. Town celebrations or "fiesta" are not complete without low cost gambling houses called "perya" where you can bet starting from almost $.02 and above. Every corner of the street has some kids playing coin games and even a wake makes its company awake using card games. Weird isnt it? How about in your country?

I thinks  we belong in the same country that belong also in the third world porrest country,and that all you mention a  lowcost kind of gambling actually i experience also that,like playing cockfighting,peryahan games called "bingo",and small kind of cards games we called poker,three cards etc.actually all this kind of gambling cultures we inherit it from the spanish period when the time they colonize our country.
Whatever they are, not good for you people. You have to keep yourself away from such games where you would be involved in any sort of loss.

Why to indulge yourself in bad thing about which you are absolutely known that if police know about this, I will be in jail. Think about your family and your future and keep this game at an arm’s distant. Believe me your life will be easier.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: April 03, 2018, 06:23:52 AM
Currenctly I’m at minimizing, although I have experienced some consequences on your list but I feel like that one fits me more. Not really into gambling that much but I’m mostly just betting when I get a time to gamble, because I don’t want to be hooked up and regret myself afterwards.
It is quite better to do a level down in this race of demolition. If gambling and betting are compared that which one is big threat to you in every aspect then defiantly gambling will be voted. The ending results would be that gambling is bigger fish than betting that is coming to eat you up even you are from the same family. So you did a great job to leave gambling but try to leave this betting thing as well.
1005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effects of Gambling on: April 03, 2018, 05:42:41 AM
The effects of gambling very was dangerous especially for young people who are needs guidance, if the brand’s fall into the gambling and they’ve addiction then to eliminate bad habit gambled they would be very difficult in do
For the young people, they need to work hard to earn something better. Because their further life is all about what they will do in their young age. Right now they have potential within them, power of doing anything, willing to earn handsome money.

So carrying such intensions, if they fall in this harmful game, they will be losing everything till the end of their hope. So go away from this gambling.
1006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why people are sharing tips? on: April 02, 2018, 10:16:28 AM
Well, you may say that. But just be thankful that they do have this hidden agenda in sharing tips because through it you learn all the same. It is like a win-win situation. They get famous; we learn from their skills and experiences. There should not be much bad blood about it to begin with.

Nonetheless, I would like to believe that people share tips because they know they can get something out of it -- either because they learn in return or earn. Either way, we know it is for their benefit and there is nothing wrong with that. Anyway it is up to us if we follow their tips or not.
It is so cute thing. Win-win situation definitely have more perks than other results of game. In such case, people at both ends will be getting better and fruitful results. No one harm other and the ending harmony will seem so amazing. People must take care of others as well. Take someone with you along the path who don’t know much about something while you are good at that particular thing.
Sharing tips about anything in the world make pretty much sense to me but gambling. I mean, no matter what strategies anyone come up with, ultimately a gambler will face whatever he is destined to. Sharing tips about a game that is purely luck based and random is a wastage of time in my view. 

Only those gamblers who seek money would do such things. Obviously, nobody likes to lose money and everyone here is trying to find a solution to avoid loss.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting in bitcoin is legal or illegal? on: April 02, 2018, 08:02:35 AM
Its not illega at all. I know a lot of people who bet in bitcoin. I think the reason why this forum exist  here in gambling section because in bitcoin gambling is part of it. People gamble their money hoping to double theri profit.

Is it legal or not doesn't depends from people who bet. You think wrong is what I can say to you, rethink it, maybe you will be able to say something logical after that.
I live in Serbia, South Europe, and until now my government didn't say anything about bitcoin. When there is no law about bitcoin then yoibare free to so what you wish with your bitcoins sell them or gamble them. Generally in my country you can find many casinos, small ones, but they are on every corner. Gambling is legal and if you wish to open casino you need license, I believe the same will be with bitcoin. When my country government open eyes and start to see crypto they will make some laws about bitcoin gambling, but until then I will enjoy in my freedom.
Legalization of any activity is the duty of government. Many countries do not allow its citizens to gamble. But anyone who wants to gable can actually gamble in the present era of information technology. Gamblers also place online bets. There are tons of gambling websites.

In addition to this, one can also prevent himself being traced out by hiding his activities on internet. Gambling is a matter of individual’s willingness only.
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does becoming a parent changes the gambler? on: April 02, 2018, 07:31:31 AM
Genes have nothing to do with gambling or addiction. It is all related to the psychological nature of the human being. There are many sons who are not like their fathers. Their fathers are addicted to smoking, their sons do not smoke at all. It is their own will and choice whether or not to follow their fathers' path. And if his dad does not want him to fall into gambling addiction, then he should raise him in the right way and teach him the bad effects of gambling, and eventually, it will be his decision.
Bbut being a father will certainly make a few changes. this is a small example of my surroundings. my friend is a liquor addict and also a gambler addicts but when he is married and has children. his life is 360 degrees different you know ? no liquor and gambling anymore. of course that changed him for the better is to be a dad right? there may be a self-awareness to teach their child better.

What your friend have done is very right thing because before marriage he was single and their were no responsibility but after marriage and getting child make more responsible to knowing this leaving all bad habits is a good thing. I was also before marriage leaving freely without any burden but when i got married i just stopped drinking and gambling. Now only for fun some time play gambling just to kill time.
Responsibility is something that can make your life if you want to change yourself. People who become aware of their responsibilities never face disappointments in their lives however, the people around them respect them much more than other people and think about them that it was much good form to become like him.  And there is no bigger responsibility in your life than the kids you get after the marriage.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Starting a Gambling Game on: April 02, 2018, 06:55:19 AM
Have you ever experienced like you wanted to gamble but you can't do anything about it then you started to think what you can do for the meantime because you are bored or something like that? I have tried gambling with my friends when we are bored like if a red car passes by you would win, something like not on the ordinary or the norm in gambling but there's an exchange of value that's why it's still called gambling. If someone tries to prank someone, then they are willing to pay for it. It's the simple joys that you try to innovate.

What kind of gambling games/routines do you have? Have you invented a game where you and your friends start?
Well, maybe I did when I was small, but I cannot remember.
You and your friends are busy having fun and that is good, and that is how gambling should be anyway. Have fun, win or lose in the process and once the fun is over or you are out of your budget, then you find other things to do.

I guess I have only tried to gamble online for a while just to try out my luck for that day with just little I am willing to dash away, but I have never seen the fun in it anyway and trying to innovate some gambling options? none I can think of.
That should be the motto or criteria of gambling that everyone who steps in casino for gambling, he should just enjoy the game rather than becoming nervous and frustrated than he was before coming to casino. People have a mindset that we can earn easy amounts of money from gambling instantly and they play gambling and become frustrated from it and the people who want to enjoy, they simply enjoy it.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: April 02, 2018, 06:27:25 AM
Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?
Maybe because as you can see the mindset of people is that when they heard games its automatically entertainment for children and teenagers while in gambling will be automatically for matured person. Both of them can be profitable however, there's a less chance of winning in gambling compared to games. Even me, I would rather choose online games over gambling because you could earn in gaming through tournament.
Online games and gambling both are very attractive. once you addict any online game you will not leave that game until you finish all levels. But gambling is different you will stop your game when your pocket empty. and fun wise also you can't match both are same. this is my feeling.
When in terms of enjoyment that it gives then both things are capable on giving such pleasure but we do know the thrill between two things specially when there is already some involvement of money.When we do gamble we do expect we can win some profits if we are lucky enough which most people do really seek about this is why they do prefer gambling compared on online games due for that kind of reason.
Both gambling as well as online gaming can give you joy to some extent but the joy in online games would be much more than the joy in gambling and the reason behind this fact is that when you are playing gambling, as you said on your comment, there is an enrollment of money and people play it by making their mind more attentive than playing other games which puts a lot of stress on their minds.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: April 02, 2018, 05:57:52 AM
Well, positive thinking is important but even more important is to be realistic and not get carried away with too much positivity. It may lead you too loose money you really can't afford to loose and still loose even more because (positively) you will be sure you can get what you already lost.
Positive thinking is of really great importance regarding gambling because a negative mind can never give a positive life. If the person will remain positive, then negative thinking will never attack his mind and he would work with calm and fresh mind and also can put great concentration during the game.

But becoming too much positive is really something which you should avoid because it will bring you to disastrous ends as you will think of getting back your money.

1015  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading? on: March 05, 2018, 01:28:49 PM
To start trading , you must open first an exchanger you prefer so that you can study how trading works. There are many tutorials in youtube the techniques in trading. Study and read more about trading.
There is one another thing which is far important than that of opening a trading exchange and that is to learn the basics of trading and to gain as much knowledge as you can regarding the tactics of trading.

If you don’t know how to be good at trading, then it will be very much difficult for you to perform exceptionally well in trading. Be very much careful while dealing the things related to trading as you can lose your money as well.
1016  Economy / Economics / Re: Smart Passive Income on: March 05, 2018, 08:35:11 AM
Pretty much sums it up right there. And also, who still uses faucets? Is it still  a think?
Anyway, ways for you to gain smart passive income are trading (sustainable profits overtime) or just start selling services or a product.
I do not think trading is included in the passive income category, because we have to do day by day if the trader is a short trade. Passive Income is when we aren't in work we still gain money. Creating a website to earn passive income is good but you have to be patient to build your website to be famous and have a high traffic

I think that people have heard things like "smart passive income" and they don´t really have a clue of what´s it about. Among other things, because all income requires certain dedication.
This might give a misconception about passive income that may you don’t have to work and money is coming to you itself. If someone is thinking it like this, no brother there is nothing about it.

Passive income comes with investment, the land, the car, the house and the crypto currencies where you are just holding them and prices are continuously increasing and you assets are being heavier.
1017  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Is it possible to use bitcoin like offline currency? on: March 05, 2018, 07:54:43 AM
For me would have to be a yes only if you would convert the same to fiat currency  nonethelessif you meant that you can transact pay, send, withdraw, loan, among others with BITCOIN offline, then maybe if you have an app or software especially designed for that purposes of others
I don’t really think so that any such currency which needs to have an internet connection for performing of any kind of transaction can be treated like that of an offline currency and that it is impossible to treat any of the crypto currency in the very similar manner as we deal with other regular currencies. Bitcoin is an online digital currency and it has its own pre requisites which needs to be fulfilled.
1018  Economy / Economics / Re: What happens when there is NO electricity? How does one trade with BTC? on: March 05, 2018, 07:13:27 AM
We hear in the news that many people in countries that have currency issues are starting to trade in BTC - for example, Venezula.

My friend asked me what about in regions where they lose electricity, how would they trade with BTC?

For example Puerto Rico is right now devastated by the hurricane, and many parts of its region don't have electricity.  A lot of people need to buy food and even fresh water.

Is there a way to still trade with BTC in such situations?  

Can P2P trade still occur despite having any connection to the greater block-chain network?  Keep in mind that it's easy to charge mobile phone so they have access to wallet apps, but probably not the Internet.

I don't know too much about mobile data networks, but I doubt one's 4G/LTE data plan would work in such situations.  I assume that data would have to be relayed to a tower/dish before it's sent to satellites.  Am I correct?


For me I think you cannot access your bitcoin and other coins in your wallet if you do not have an internet connection because it is very needed. In addition to that, I think it is impossible to lose an internet connection since our technology nowdays is improving.
Without electricity and internet connectivity, you cannot do anything especially when it comes to that of investing your money in any of the digital currency. These are the most important things you need to have and if there comes a situation when there will be no electricity, then I am afraid that it will be very much difficult for the bitcoin and rest of the coins to survive in this world.
1019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What coin do you HOLD in 2018? on: March 05, 2018, 06:31:55 AM
I still faithfully hold ETH because at this time ETH has an alternative to get it ie tokens, and I hold a little DOGE although the price is little but I am still faithful from the past until now.

My hopes are also connected with Ethereum. I believe that it will be gaining and can even reach 2 thousand this year (a bit later). I also hold Cardano (ADA) and NEO - these cryptocurrencies have cool future I think.
Bitcoin must be one of the all-time green investment opportunity, so there will be nothing new regarding bitcoin for the year 2018 especially. I mean to say we can keep holding bitcoin and we can go for fresh investments with bitcoin in this year also like what we have done so far with bitcoins.

I do believe bitcoin alone have given big returns compared to any other coin, this also could be another reason why we should stick with in bitcoin all the times.
1020  Economy / Speculation / Re: Llew Claseen says BTC will hit 40,000 Dollar by the end 2018. on: March 05, 2018, 05:55:05 AM
I think BTC to hit $40K by end of 2018 is beyond reach. The current status of BTC seems it just hover below $20K. Llew CLaseen just made a wild prediction to encourage investors to place money on BTC after a huge lose.
I think getting to $40K is really achievable considering some things and since we have a lot of FUD out of the way and Bitcoin is steadily rising from $5K to $10K in a matter of weeks, I don't see the prediction to be wild at all.
Yeah, it is reasonable, and a lot of things are changing with the bitcoin's protocol development, but at the same time, we also have to leave some room for some possibilities of not seeing that as well.

It is bitcoin, the market is filled with huge monopoly whether we like it or not, so we cannot really say what the market really holds in the short or long term but to just believe that either way, it is a strong one. Whatever bitcoin will hit by the end of 2018 is only known by time.
