1361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Real-Life Professional Gambler will help you recover your losses on: June 14, 2018, 07:45:47 AM
There is a professional roulette player I recently met, who is unbelievably good at roulette, and somehow calculates what numbers are likely to hit next with unfailing precision. I've watched this guy play about 20 games now, and I have not seen him fail to turn a sizeable profit, except when his customer did not follow his instructions correctly.

He's the real-deal, and conducts all of his business openly and publicly here:

bachob100[dot]wixsite[dot]com[backslash]roullere
Roulette is one of the hardest game to win because the probability to win is very less so if someone is winning that game continuously either he has the power of predicting future or he is cheating in somewhere. Shocked
But even if someone is good at gambling they will never reveal their secret of winning so try to get a job and earn some money if you continuously betting then probably you are going to lose more.
It is a game that is actually totally dependent on luck and there is nothing that makes anyone professional in it. In fact, in the whole games in gambling, there is nothing like professional and there is no way anyone can end up rendering a service such as this all in the name of helping others, but just some broke ass gambler who is trying to recover his own losses by scamming other gamblers.

I guess he is just too dumb to realize the whole world is not as dumb as him. If it is not so, then definitely he would not have come up with such a topic in the name of helping others. No one will be ready to serve others by leaving off all his works and responsibilities. Even they will be doing so, that must be for their own momentary benefits only.
1362  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Criteria of a good gambler on: June 14, 2018, 07:00:06 AM
I think a criteria to be a good gambler is to know how to strictly restrict himself from using the money that are suppose to be used for his family expenses to gamble in order to chase back his heavy losses, that is one of the reason why people who are heavily addicted to gambling could often find themselves getting into a very stressful relationship with their family members.

Agree, good gamblers are those who are able to keep from falling into things that can interfere with his life. Those who use little of their money to gamble and no intention to use the money that should be used for other purposes, are those that I think a good gambler.
Well, that depends on the definition of good but for me I would actually like to classify those who know how to stop as smart gamblers rather than using the word good. Gambling is a game and possibly should be seen as fun but the thing is that so many people may end up seeing it the other way round like a profit making thing, or something that can generate income for them and that to me makes them so dumb and literally affects them in gambling.

As long as you are smart, you will know exactly what not to have as an idea in your head when it comes to gambling. The easiest criteria for becoming a good gambler is being a smart gambler. Being smart will possible over time and experience whereas we never bother those in gambling usually.
1363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: June 14, 2018, 05:17:53 AM
i think i can live without gambling it's been 6 months since my last gambling session and i dont get the urge to gamble again it's not a problem for me anymore and its pointless to gamble if you do it to entertain yourself as there are alot of ways to entertain yourself.

that is great for you and you have a good control of yourself to not playing gambling. I realize that for some people, it is difficult to do but if they can keep trying to not playing gambling, I think they can leave gambling once for all. yes, I agree that we have another ways to enjoy our life and entertain our life and we don't have to play gambling.
Yeah, having good control while gambling is always the best way to go about it so as not to end up messing things up eventually and by messing things up I am referring to one's life.

Leaving gambling is a thing of the mind as well as learning how to stay away and not make it a hobby based on the fact that the possibility of being addicted to it is there and you really want to keep putting yourself in check most of the time. Like you have said, there are so many other ways to have fun and even if gambling is one of them, it should be minimal and not some daily thing.
1364  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the Bitcoin market going to collapse? on: June 13, 2018, 07:45:51 AM
Bitcoin is "going for collapse" every few months. Some people just don't see it. If Bitcoin falls it doesn't mean that it will fall forever.
Well, they only see exactly what they want to see and I do not know why someone would think of a collapse when indeed we are just in a bear trend. A lot of people are the main reason why they panic and they do not even need FUD news for that. If we are to count the number of times since the beginning that stuffs like these have been mentioned though, we would not stop counting.

We can go lower than this and there is no doubt, but we can bounce from anywhere at any point in time and that is the reality. Instead of worrying about the collapse, we must work on how to make use of the market to buy more. Collapse may occur but it will bounce back very sharply for sure. If we are not aware of that then may miss a very big opportunity of our life time.
1365  Economy / Speculation / Re: Maximum price that BTC can reach realistically on: June 13, 2018, 06:54:48 AM
my readings summarize the highest possible BTC might be about $ 50k that is just a prediction of co-founders that investors may also depend on carrying on those managing this bitcoin arrangement.
If we really want to be realistic, no one can really know but one thing for sure is that we will keep having an increase in a way most of the time and if we are really to look at it in a year in year out way, the price will keep increasing and forming a higher high and low as the case may be on a yearly time frame which would even get better with mainstream adoption, so that makes it hard to realistically be assuming a price and as long as you are assuming, there is nothing realistic about it.

It all depends on how many people will accept it as a currency. The more people accept it higher the price will be.
Almost all the people around the world would definitely accept bitcoin as payment system or at least as a store of value because bitcoin has all the capabilities to fulfill all their needs. It means bitcoin may reach billion dollars too in next two or three decades.
1366  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hello traders on: June 12, 2018, 12:46:46 PM
Some says that to be a trader is very risky, if it is really risky why there are still traders and more are becoming interested to be like this?  Anything that you can share and advice to a newbie like me is appreciated.
Risk and danger will bring you big money. Any successful entrepreneur should have the courage to confront the high risk to bring in more money.
This is an important factor for turning a normal person into a great person. To become rich, we must take risks and take a different path from everyone.
Risk is very important to be able to actually achieve some great things, but they also have to be calculated ones so as not to end up taking risk and getting even worse than where you started from. A lot of people take risks without informing themselves of all the things they need to know so as to be able to make quality decisions and minimize the possibility of a huge risk and that as far as I am concerned, is even worse and better not to take a risk at all and remain at one point than to take risk and make your matters worse than before.
1367  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best time to take profit in Trading on: June 12, 2018, 11:51:29 AM
What? Take profit when the market is green? Huh?

Quite alright, I agree that the best time to take your profit is when the market is green. This is because you are not doing yourself good to wait until it gets to red before you go for it. The red time is rather a time to wait.
Sometimes you also have to be careful the exact green you are taking the market so as not to lose potential profit afterwards. But unfortunately many people are not making use of it most of the times. They are basically failing with the thumb rule of "letting profits to grow".

Just look out for signals, and for those who do not know what to look out for in signals, it is better they learn how to make use of the RSI or STOCH RSI, MACD, MA, and at least, Ichimoku to be able to use these ones to make good decisions. Combining at least these 3 always help a lot to at least know when you should get out of a market or when you should be in a market.
1368  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: before or after new year on: June 12, 2018, 04:56:56 AM
should you buy bitcoin at the beginning of the year and sell bitcoin at the end of the year because if you look at the history of bitcoin prices always decline in price at the beginning of the year and will increase very much when the end of the year.
I hope what you said will come true. But now everything is very different, not like some years ago. I'm afraid in the end of this year, 2018 the price of bitcoin still go down and people didn;t interest to buy bitcoin. Look at the altcoin and token, every day the number is increase. Of course the money to invest in bitcoin will be change to invest in altcoin and token.
We are all trying to be as optimistic as possible and hoping for better returns as well as better usage as a currency in the long run. I feel we should be more focused on the development of bitcoin as a currency and see how it can easily get adopted into the mainstream so we can see healthy growth as well as a sustainable one rather than just some growth fueled by manipulations and FOMO which usually makes the outcome a very crazy one.

After January 2018, we are still into down trend which got much worst in last four days. But we can see trend reversal in coming days as no entire year will be same for any market. I am expecting the second half this year will be dominated by bulls as bears are losing their control and power.
1369  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why are people afraid to invest in cryptocurrency? on: June 12, 2018, 04:20:07 AM
Some times I usually think of the reason people are afraid of investing in cryptocurrency, despite the its value and durability, cryptocurrency is a standards investment that will always give the investor the chance of becoming a millionaire due to its appreciative nature, people fail to understand the fact behind cryptocurrency investment, most times the people trying to invest may not have a maximum knowledge of cryptocurrency.
If an investor look at Bitcoin charts and how big the crash of price was (From ~$20k to $8k-$10k in no time) he will certainly make a step back to see if it's really worth it to invest on it or no.Sames applies for altcoins,there is no investor that would like to take big risks especially with the volatily of cryptocurrency market at the current time.Bitcoin and all crytpocurrencies have to build back investors trust with time otherwise we will be seeing a permanent downtrend.
Yeah, a smart investor will obviously know that every market fluctuates and would also get to find ways to understand the market as to what makes it that volatile but that does not simply change the possibility of seeing a great future for the market.

It is just displeasing to see that most inexperienced and new investors see cryptocurrency as a get rich quick scheme and when they get to invest during FOMO, and seeing the price go down rapidly, with the mindset of it being a ponzi, they imagine how much they have been totally screwed instead of seeing where they have made a mistake, invest in the dips, see the real value and be patient for the long term growth.
1370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Short term Trading investment or Bounty campaigns? on: June 11, 2018, 07:36:38 AM
you have $ 400, I think you can buy some altcoin which have cheap price but have good potential, you can buy Tron, Gems, ADA Cardano and amon, I suggest you buy amon, Amon will be a good altcoin and the price is still very cheap.
Yeah, now that the whole market is even down is a pretty good time to invest in some altcoins with potential of increase, but it is necessary to do some due diligence before investing in anything coupled with the fact that the altcoin market is actually a pretty much volatile one. Short term trading should be applicable to those who have the knowledge and skills to trade and not just for anyone and if he does not have that, he should try to at least stay clear.

I choose a bounty campaign, because bounty campaign can produce a lot of tokens, and also if we choose a bounty campaign we can work every day.
You can work for trading also every day and 365 days a year too as markets never sleep. But, choosing bounty alone must be a good decision as it has less risk compared to trading. But I recommend to go for both to maximize your earning potentials.
1371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to identify Good and legit bounties on: June 11, 2018, 04:28:56 AM
this is often discussed, look for bounty that has many participants, and also look for bounty that has total allocation for bounty very much
If you are focusing on the number of participants, then you are actually no different than someone who just invests into a project blindly. A lot of bounty hunters really do not care what they join and the only thing they ever care about is to at least get something at the end of the day, irrespective of how the project ends up while ruling in some of them being scam.

Just do your due diligence on the project and the team as that is all it takes. Having some parameters like number of participants are good strategy only but it will some pitfalls. If you have another strategies to fix those pitfalls then anyone can identify good and legit bounties in matter of minutes.

1372  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook bans ads for cryptocurrencies on: June 10, 2018, 04:29:00 PM
Yeah, I heard about that, but they can not prevent us from posting news about cryptocurrency, they can just forbid a paid advertisement on their site
Not to panic dudes. This news bit has now been overtaken by events. Haven't you guys read recently that Facebook is embarking on its own coin, the Facecoin? Surprising how these money bags quickly change in their positions on things. It's in the news but I can't lay my hands right now on that link where I read it last week. But just Google it anyway. It's in the public domain.
Even when the news was thrown out to the public before being overtaken by recent events of which you mentioned this was never a problem, but a lot of inexperienced and new investors who always like panicking took it the wrong way and most of them never even read the content of the news and why that decision was made.

Scammers kept using the ad space for their craziness and they took it on themselves to help clean that up and now, if you are an ICO that wants to advertise, you must be ready to show your legal documents before doing so and that is a good way to go.
1373  Economy / Economics / Re: Should we teach children to have businessman mentality or be successful employee on: June 10, 2018, 08:53:35 AM
Although we have different cultures, Teaching both of these in their children can actually help them in their future lives, but I think this is inappropriate because their mindset is not ready doing this kind of things, let them enjoy their childhood days so that they can make some lovely and memorable experiences at their age. Instead, let them know their own kind of happiness. You can't forcefully teach them. The time will come when they are ready to learn these kinds of things and will realize the importance of financial freedom.
Yeah, that is the main thing and the reason I agree with those who said, we should let just allow them to have the understanding of either being a business man and how to be successful as one, or being an employee and how to be a successful one as well.

Sometimes, we experience life in different ways based on how things come at us, and if we are all business men, who is going to be doing the work to get paid at the end of the day. Life is just the way it is, when you become an adult, you will just have to choose based on what you really want whereas children might be allowed to have enough mental maturity before choosing their own way based on their preferences.
1374  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can be useful for a troubled economy on: June 10, 2018, 08:20:27 AM
of course, for most countries that have a weak economy, Bitcoin can be relied upon to be able to fix financial problems. even it has been proven that bitcoin is able to overcome unemployment and can create jobs for people who use it. if everyone can use bitcoin for positive things, I'm sure all countries will definitely accept the existence of bitcoin and can be unveiled all over the world
It will be hard for us to see any country that will be ready to take up bitcoin as a national currency since they all will not give up on centralization due to the control freak that they are. A true republic will not find it as a hard one. Basically all governments must need some income stream and when it falls down into doubts, how we can expect them to allow.

Allowing a peaceful coexistence of bitcoin alongside fiat just like countries in Europe, as well as Japan and Australia is doing, will really help to boost the economy in a good way, but it is just unfortunate that the underdeveloped countries that should embrace it the more, are the ones fighting it for their own selfish reasons.
1375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories! on: June 09, 2018, 01:39:59 PM
Maybe this story has nothing with cases of real gambling addiction, but this days somewhere in Scotland opened a hospital which treat crypto addiction, yes, crypto one,there  is such apparently. Does anyone know of details of this story or examples of crypto addiction? Some people compare investing g and trading g of crypto currencies with gambling, so I think it has some contact with gambling addiction example.
I got a glimpse of this story few days ago and then I kept worrying what the whole idea is all about. How can investing in any way be compared to addiction ? I am not sure though, since while some people are investing, they actually do it with no knowledge and they make silly mistakes whatsoever by going in too big and then afterwards trying all means to recover from the volatility loss they have had or is this just a way from the hospital to send some message regarding how crypto can actually come with addiction ?

If it is by that, then I can as well say I am addicted to crypto since it makes life easier for me in terms of payment and I sure do not wish to get out of the addiction.
1376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know its time to Stop? on: June 09, 2018, 12:16:59 PM
Gambling is an addiction. When I won some I stop playing for a while. Then again start playing in a hope to win more. But after all I lost it all.  And when I lose I deposit more to cover up my loses by gambling more. Sometimes I win and other time I lose
The addiction is actually something that plays out based on the mindset and the inability to control one and those impulses that comes with gambling. If you are winning, you just want to win more until you lose everything, back to square one and even lose much more, and while you are losing as well, you just want to keep trying believing that as long as you do that, you can win them all back only to realize you are almost betting your pant.

It is important to always stay in control and know out rightly that gambling is just a game of luck with more chances of losing and you do not want to lose so much which makes it important to control yourself when you are out and appreciate even if you win so little let alone much so as to know it is time to walk away.
1377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you play online casino? if Yes... on: June 09, 2018, 11:17:17 AM
I just gamble for fun and not for making money and I think there is no fun is online gambling. The real fun is in regular casinos. I often visit traditional casinos for enjoyment. There is much more fun apart from gambling. So I think that traditional casinos are far better than online casinos.
Actually, I have asked myself what those who actually do say they are having fun with online casino are really getting the fun from. From their bedroom with the platform rolling the dice or from the chat that some of the platform has ? The real deal is in a life casino as you at least get to interact with other people and as long as you know you are not going to be off your limit, the better for you in most cases.

t is easier to catch fun in real life casinos and fixate that idea than online gambling. But online casino has lots of conveniences which makes most gamblers to compromise their gambling thirst and interests.
1378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: June 09, 2018, 04:20:03 AM
I was addicted to gambling for some long time but after some big shocks and have serious troubles around me now surely I can say I can live without this because its never been good experience for me this give me biggest setbacks and many failures hopefully this is end chapter for me in next all way

Well we always stick to what we enjoy even if it's not productive until it burns us. Good for you that you manage to turn around after getting shocked. Some addicted gamblers are so deep in their addiction that they can't do it by themselves.
Yeah, really good for him and most times, this actually burns based on the mentality we must have drawn to something. It is hard to come out of addiction though and I really would have been willing to know how he did. Anyway, how long one stays out from gambling is not the case but how one actually perceives gambling during this period is what matters. Although for someone who obviously cannot live without it, that is more like being an addict which is bad.
Like old saying, the more you do some things, the more you get engrossed in them and before you know it, you may end up totally lost.

This is applicable to gambling a lot and it is always necessary to always try as much as possible to be in control right from the start as you would not want to end up seeing yourself finding it hard to stay away from gambling as in that case, that is an act that is tending more to addiction which one should always try as much as possible to avoid.
1379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hackers ? on: June 08, 2018, 12:34:19 PM
Are there a lot of hackers now in the crypto's world ? I mean, it a place not totally safe, because of it's quit new.  Do you think hackers can change the crypto economy for their own benefit ?

Even not only to this new crypto world but also old traditional online transactions there would be always a hacker.Where these identities do really make advantage into other people and do things which will make them money.You should not be surprised and yet we are making transactions and talking about money here on crypto then no doubt this is one of their sweet spot because we know money would always been sweet. Cool
Exactly and there are no way we can avoid them than only to stay careful? Anything that has to do with online, there are so many information that people can make use of to guide them on some of the things they really need to do so that they do not end up becoming a victim.

However, a lot of people always think security is too expensive or hard to do until they lose a huge amount of money and that is not an experience anyone will ever want to have.
Yeah, Once you have been a victim, no matter the amount security cost, you will definitely see it as something cheap. Someone once told me that ledger Nano is too expensive, then I told him try getting your account hacked and losing all your funds, then you will tell me which is more expensive.

Hackers are always on the move, thinking of ways to get in no matter how tight it is, and in that case, make it uneasy for them as that is the game. Those who use abc1234 as passwords, those who do not make use of 2FA, email or SMS login verification are simply the type of people that makes life easier for hackers.

Day trader - Chart is life

Long term holder - doesn't need chart  Cheesy
As simple as that. I believe over time, even day traders have already gotten used to the idea of checking charts almost all the time, that they never bother about the stress that comes with it since it is more like a job and the result is what matters. As long as you are a long term investor, there is really no need to be worrying oneself or giving oneself headache with the chart. Your business is with your portfolio and the good thing is that there are so many apps that helps one to keep tabs and even at that, you really do not need to be monitoring every single minute or hour.
