61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long do you hold your coins? on: September 13, 2017, 02:01:47 PM
I will hold my coins until it reaches my target and sometimes if it keeps on increasing I will wait until it reaches the tip of that pump and sells my coins. This trick is only for altcoins not for Bitcoin. I am saving Bitcoin for future use so if it dumps or pump I will not care. When ever I need money I just sell that much Bitcoin and remaining I will save. I decided to see the highest price of this Bitcoin.
62  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: September 13, 2017, 01:55:57 PM
We are still gambling because we still have hope to win and get our money back and win much more money. Greed and addiction are what makes up gamble again. If we had a strong willpower and determination, we would not even gamble because we know that gambling could be so addicting, and once you start to gamble, you will not get out of it easily.

If a person is not inclined to greed, then he will always be able to easily quit the game. The problem is that many people are too greedy and not just in gambling.

greediness is one of the reason why people still continue to gamble even if they know they always lose. but there's other factors on why they continue it, maybe it's their nature to play such things like it's their source of income and many more.

Greediness and expectation will make people come back and play again because of these two reasons many gamblers will come back. even they know making and getting back lost is not easy in gambling but still, they try it's not their problem it's their greedy problem. It will not let them stop gambling. When you control your greediness, then you will never come back after getting any bad experience in gambling.

Every time I win I feel happy and proud of myself but I don't see myself as a gambling expert at all. I just think that I got lucky for playing dice game online. That's just it! No more, No less.

I also think that I'm just lucky when I win, because all the gambling is based primarily on luck and there are no experts who would have a permanently guaranteed profit.

Gambling experts are there I am not saying there are no any experts, but I am not a gambling expert. Yes to win money in gambling we need luck the gambling will run based on 90% our luck and 10% our skills. But in some games, this percentage will change then also without having the luck we can not get an even single game in gambling. I will play for fun, and I don't have any intention to become an expert in this gambling.
64  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can cryptocurrency make real money disappear? on: September 12, 2017, 03:01:46 PM
What are the chances of living in a world with no actual money ?  Shocked

Low. I think personally that cryptocurrencies wont make FIAT useless, but I think that cryptocurrencies will work hand-in-hand with FIAT money. Especially in countries like the United States, and the other first-world countries; I don't see FIAT going anywhere soon.

Exactly as I thought. Fiats are needed especially to make a quick transaction or a transaction without involving gadgets or internet which might not be available or accessible hence using digital assets would be useless and would delay the transaction. Both digital cash or cryptocurrencies and fiats need to work together hand in hand to offer a much convenient way to provide more options to do a transaction.
I assume that bitcoin as well other digital currencies were becoming more popular just because of the increasing usage of bitcoin all over the world. For the growth in a sustained manner we need to make continued spreading in a better way. The same will lead for bigger adoption but this never leads to replacing of the real money to get replaced.
This is true,no matter how bitcoin would be successful or progress in the future.Local fiat would really strongly remain no matter what and replacing it would really be an impossible thing knowing that governments wont really allow such thing to happen.Local fiat currencies signifies on a countries power and independence and if all decided to replace it with bitcoin it would really be hard to think of on what would happen.For sure there would be chaos.
Without fiat currency we can't survive in this world, this is fix. Suppose all the govt accept Bitcoins also they will not ban fiat currency. If any country does this, then that country will lose income from people. Only those who are not collecting tax from people they can implement this in their country.

I know trading in exchange is risky because we are user does not have the private key of the trading account but to minimize the risk i activated 2FA in every exchange, use uniq and privacy email address also activated 2 step verification of the email, keep and bookmarks link of the exchange,dont click any link from third party if you joined in telegram group, and use anti virus on PC/Laptop.
putting full money in exchange site is a big risk, only you keep how much money you want to trade that amount in exchange site and what security you are using to save your account every one must follow this and save your account. last word what you said it is must and should traders follow, use an internet security anti virus to your system. I am using it in my system, but one day my system had a problem, so I used my friend system and opened my local exchange site to transfer some BTC to another account. I am copying my address but while pasting it is showing other address I tried this couple times all time it changed automatically. i suddenly log out and clear my browser history. If i do not notice this, my BTC will go wrong address. This is 100% virus problem in that system. So using anti virus is very safe.
66  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you see trading as fun and games? on: September 12, 2017, 02:43:55 PM
That depends. If you trade with small sums that will not endanger your financial stability then trading is like fun game. But if you trade big money then it's a serious job that probably reoresents the serious source if income. But no matter what kind of trader you are, big or small, you should always have fun with that otherwise it's time to quit.
Trading can be fun or a game for most of the people because it actually is a better form of using hit and trial techniques to get better profits and success. It is fun for those who have previous knowledge and experience in trading but a game for those who have little intellect of trading.
I think you were right there that it's just a game for those who are new to trading and doesn't even have any idea how to handle things but i think it could be fun if they started to learn the process. The fun will begin if they started to learn the way of the game and it's quite interesting in the long run. Short term or long term traders it is still fun though.  Smiley
Just like game that they want to enjoy maybe some of the trader that make it as a fun and game because they dont want to take more seriously. On my opinion the more you are take it serious if there has a little movement they make some panic so if they take it more enjoyable as this just playing a game i think they dont make some panic of it.
i think trading is not for fun it is a kind of serious business that involves money.if we  take it seriously it is profitable but if you take it as a fun game maybe  it is not.i think we must do it seriously than maming it fun.

Yes trading is not a game. if we do not take this seriously, then there is no value to do trading. We can better gamble with that money we will get at least fun in those games. I don't think what fun people find in gambling. For me, trading is a money making business, not a game.
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I convert my BCH to BTC? on: September 12, 2017, 02:36:21 PM
I say yes. I don't see that BCH actualy has a profitable future, especaily not like bitcoin and definetely can't replace it. Maybe currently it looks to some users that it's better solution than bitcoin but if you look deeper and on long term you will figure out that this is wrong perception. So stick to bitcoin, not BCH that it's just another altcoin that will not last long.
Now don't sell your BCH because the price of the BCH is coming down. this coin average price is b/w $600 to $700. So wait for some time and when it reaches this target you can convert it into bitcoins. For a long time better you can hold bitcoins. BCH is not safe for long term. No body can give you assurance about this BCH, but many people are advised to hold bitcoins. Go for more people votes.
68  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin's price volatility affect your gambling habits? on: September 12, 2017, 02:29:20 PM
So does this factor affect how you gamble?

If prices go up, do you lower you bets? For example, you normally bet 0.001 per bet, do you lower it to 0.0001 per bet?

If prices go down, do you place higher bets? For example, you normally bet 0.001 per bet, do you place higher bets like 0.01 per bet?

Yeah, i do it. Actually, bitcoin price does volatility affect more than other altcoin's price. Then it is better to use bitcoin in gambling, as you give us example. Usually, i do use more bitcoin in betting when bitcoin price down and whenever bitcoin price go to up then sometime i left to play gambling, the fear of losing my expensive bitcoin. 

yes and i am reduce my bets using bitcoin and still using altcoin to place a bets. but if i want to use bitcoin as a bets, i only want to place a small amount because bitcoin is the important thing for me and when bitcoin price volatility, i'd better to use bitcoin to make a profit than just playing gambling.

Now playing gambling with altcoins is a safe method to save our bitcoins for future purpose. A couple of months before i use to play gambling with bitcoins, why because the price was low and I don't have that much crazy about this Bitcoin and not expected that Bitcoin price will reach $4k in just a few months. If I predicted this before I never use to play gambling with bitcoins. Atleast now i can realise and save some coins.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble,boredom,loneliness, grief or lose on: September 12, 2017, 02:22:04 PM
I gamble most of the time when I am alone.

Yes. The truth is that I used to play gambling when I am alone and sad because at that kind of past time I used to have time to think and to escape to my problems. And gambling also helps me sometimes to learn things and realize because many people doesn't know that in gambling there are lot of lessons.

Whatever you do there is a meaning for that thing. Like that in gambling also we have many things to watch and learn. But it depends on your way of thinking. I say there is nothing to learn from gambling but you say there are a lot of things to learn. I found only fun in gambling, and I can't beat house edge. But I don't know what all good things you found in this gambling. There may be some good things but not everyone can find it.
70  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: September 11, 2017, 11:24:52 AM
Gambling is good for fun but you cannot expect to make regular profits from it as you will win only if you are lucky and luck will not always be on your side every time so I will prefer to invest my money from where I can generate regular profits and investing in good altcoins seems to be the best option for me.

There's no regular profit in gambling unless you are the owner of a casino and it's your investment.

But for us who are regular gamblers, we can't expect a daily basis of income in gambling.

Better stay at your limits and go with investing.

I agree since the result of the game is random, players cannot assume that he can get a regular earnings from gambling.  Even Casino owner sometimes loses to the players (when a player hit jackpot).  So i guess we should put in mind that playing in a Casino does not warrant us an earning but can warrant us possible winnings.  If earning is what you are looking for better find a good regular job and think of gambling as an extra curricular activity.

There's no assurance that you can get regular earnings, just like what I stated above.

And yes, the owners too can lose because of those lucky gamblers and it can even touch their untouched fund or backed up fund.

Your solution to find a regular job is right but having some other investments too is good.

The owners will get a loss because of big jackpot win by some one. this could happen occasionally, but we will daily lose money and deposit our money to owners account. So this loss will not affect the owners. If any one win big jackpot in their site and they received that price money, it is also an advantage for owners. This will attract other players and all players will shift to their site to win the jackpot money. You can see from anywhere the owners are winners and players are losers.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: September 11, 2017, 11:16:05 AM
There is no way to quite gambling if you are doing if you are addicted then it is hard to quite. If you are new then you can because you are not that much aware about gambling then you can in a beginning.

You are straight forward said no way to quite gambling.
But little bit it is true, it is reality but we are not accept it and think may be another way is here to quite gambling.
Quite gambling only for newbie and also for those gamblers who are very conscious about their career and money.
They are working with sincerity and they are not forget to control their mind. 

There is a day for everyone that day everyone will stop gambling. I am not telling for those who succeed in this gambling world. I am telling for those who lost money and trying to stop gambling. After spending some time in gambling most of the gamblers, the feeling is either stop gambling or just play for fun. And people will switch to this feeling. The other addicted gamblers will realise when they lose everything in their life. To stop gambling one good reason is enough, you have to find that reason then you automatically stop gambling.
72  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: September 11, 2017, 11:09:23 AM
I don't think that i am addicted to gambling because i play for fun i don't care about winning money. To me it is one of my best hobbies but i don't feel like i am addicted to it, i can spend a month or more without playing. Generally, everyone who is addicted to gambling is playing to win money not for having fun.
The same mentality I have I can live without this gambling suppose if I don't get any free time to play. But when ever i am free and no other work to do in that time i will do some gambling. This is not my regular habit, but this is one type of stress reliever for me. When I play few minutes of gambling, my stress will go, and I will get relief. Night time also suppose not get sleep will spend some time on gambling sites, but I am not addicted gambler.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: September 11, 2017, 11:04:46 AM
Not always, trading better than gambling. Because many beginner traders spend their money or bitcoins because of panicky or greedy nature that's still high on them. While for those who are accustomed, they appraise trading more secure because risk of losses can be minimized by utilizing ability of analysis and market prediction's adequate.
not always but mostly they are, isn't it? just look at how the stake system in trading , you won't lost all the value staked there , just a little bit percent of it. while in gambling you will always go for get nothing or win everything to get double value .

the risk of both are actually worth to give a shot , but considering gambling are not profitable in the long run , i don't think it is better than trading.
The trading will run on basis of invest and wait method. But gambling is not like this we have to invest, and there is confidence that we can make a profit in gambling. This is purely luck based game. In trading, if we wait for some time 100% we can make a profit or else there is a chance to get back our investment or else at least some amount we will get back. But in gambling, no incoming once invest and lost that's it everything will be gone.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Frustration in betting. on: September 11, 2017, 10:59:21 AM
It's natural to be frustrated when things aren't going your way Sad

Yeah.. perhaps very rich people will not be frustrated as we are when they lose in gambling. Compared to small time gamblers like me I would say I would be furious when luck is not at my side and will take away my money in gambling. Some rich people they only do gamble for their own entertainment.

Rich people still get frustrated when they lose. It's natural to feel.that way. It's even more frustating if you're gambling with a big amount or an amount that will have a big effect in your financial status
You are right, we the normal gamblers suppose if we lose more money while playing we will stop at one stage by thinking suppose if we lose everything what will do. But the rich people do not worry about their loss when they lose money they will Frustrate a lot, and they invest some more money to get back there lost. They play until they can win. They have that much capacity. But we don't have so we will stop. For us, the Frustration will come and go, but we can not take it seriously, but the rich gamblers will take this very seriously.
75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: trading altcoins with BTC "OR" USDT ! on: September 10, 2017, 06:16:12 PM
HEY ,
i have noticed that i'd make more money if i trade altcoin with USDT as it's stable and equivalent to usd ,so i can get my calculations .on the other hand trading with btc isn't that much profitable or sometimes not profitable at all if btc price gone down , so why most people trade with btc !
i think i'm missing something .

If you really think that it is a good option then it is your choice to trade USD rather than bitcoin,i am happy and i am earning a good deed trading with bitcoin because we are having a good rally in the price till now and as long as the price of bitcoin is volatile and moves higher i am happy dealing with bitcoin.
My trading technique is i will buy altcoins with BTC because the price is high and I will get more coins. But when I want to sell my altcoins I will not convert it into bitcoins i will convert it into USDT. Becasue the BTC price is not stable, and i will get confuse weather i am in profit or loss. But USDT will tell my exact profit. For me, USDT is the best coin to altcoin trading you will get one calculation.
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alt coins worth buying on: September 10, 2017, 06:11:33 PM
can any one give me reply .. Why Altcoin dumping now a days ? last 3 days every coin dump and dump losing money What to do ?


Dumping because the huge rise has already happened.  Alt Buyers in January have 10x profit +++ and can sell a lot now.

Hodl.  ...but only with money you can afford to lose.

The price correction can be -80%.  Sell what you cannot afford to lose, and wait 1-2 years for the next upturn. There is no certainty : you might lose everything, but more likely not.

Now selling your coin is not the best option. You will lose your investment. But you don't have any option you must be needed money means your bad luck this is very bad time to sell any coin. Becasue all coins came down and there is no expectation when it will be back to normal price. But after 1 or 2 months there may be the huge variation we are going to see in Bitcoins price and also altcoins price. Till that you can control your emotions.
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Everything down today...what to buy, what to buy :) on: September 10, 2017, 06:01:10 PM
Almost everything was down double digits today but climbing back up.

I picked up some more Waves, DGB, XEM, SIA

What you all grabbing?
you are brave enough to play in altcoin without a doubt and that's good.
talk about the coins you adopt in my opinion the right choice because the price is always changing in a matter of hours, entrust your luck and you will get a big surprise.
price changing in matter of hours because there's huge change in latest regulation release. it's not always happen in normal days just like in the past where our crypto world still stable.
the shockwave created by china government really change it all, but when they announce that the ban just temporary, you can see, the people who always buy and hold now get a ton of profit.
Today slowly the market is picking up. First Bitcoin price increased, and now altcoins price is increasing not all coins. Only a few coins ripple, Neo, ETH, Zcash. According to me tomorrow again all coins will bounce back not sure. I bought few waves and NEO. i am expecting minimum 50% profit from NEO. Other coins I don't have that much idea.
78  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: September 10, 2017, 05:53:13 PM

That is really the bad outcome when we let our emotions set in our gambling sessions. With emotions, we would not anymore realize that we are playing on against a gambling site that has house edge advantage.

The only way not to let ourselves get into our way is to gamble for fun. If we gamble for fun then we wont have to worry about getting too emotional. We will only use a small amount of money so it doesnt matter if we win or lose. If we dont care about either winning or losing then we will be having fun, atleast that is good for our health. Thats a smart way to play without hurting ourselves

You mean we have to deposit a small amount and play that amount don't deposit again. This is also the nice method we can save our money. Before starting to play gambling, we can set but once started to play that time we will lose control in our mind. And we will deposit extra money to get back our lost money. Again what happened means the same thing happened. Whatever method you use finally we will lose our money this is the real fact in gambling.
79  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: September 10, 2017, 05:47:00 PM
Limits are mostly set for people who have gambling problems and people who lack self control when it comes to gambling, They normally lose control and spend almost everything on them if they want to win, The best way to control oneself when gambling, is to take a limited amount of money to the casino so that should you eventually lose it all, you have no option but to go home and stop gambling for the night.
I think it's the other wat around though. Limits are not set by people with gambling issues. Limits are set by responsible gamblers who are aware of what the consequences are if they lose control, so they instictively set a limit for themselves.
Your point is also right. Most probably the limit will be set by the responsible gambler because they know what is the pain in losing money. So for the safer side, they will fix one amount, and they only play that money. if they lost that money, they will stop play and go home or shut down the system. But the addicted gamblers will not set any limit. For them, there is no limit they will play until they lose everything.
80  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin's price volatility affect your gambling habits? on: September 10, 2017, 05:29:21 PM
So does this factor affect how you gamble?

If prices go up, do you lower you bets? For example, you normally bet 0.001 per bet, do you lower it to 0.0001 per bet?

If prices go down, do you place higher bets? For example, you normally bet 0.001 per bet, do you place higher bets like 0.01 per bet?

No, my gambling strategy doesn't change with the fluctuations in the USD/BTC exchange rates. I manage my bitcoin bankroll in terms of bitcoin only and I don't think about its conversion rates. I determine the amount of my daily gambling budget based on a percentage of my bankroll and I play at the stakes determined by that budget. The results are the same either way ---> 10% of $100 is the same as 10% of $100 worth of bitcoin ---> it makes no difference as long as the two quantities aren't unnecessarily mixed up in the process.
Sometimes it makes me think that it gets too expensive to play since btc rises in value and I may consider saving that use it for playing but sometimes we can't really stop ourselves so still give ourselves a chance to play.

Well of course it will.come to youe mind when you gamble but i agree, it won't really matter for hardcore gamblers because the price isn't important but sating their want for gambling. If you're keeping a capital of btc in your wallet, you're pretty much gambling with the same amount

Hard core gamblers will not think about the price and all. First of all, they are ready to play all there money to win money in gambling. And in this process, if they lost everything also they don't care. So for them, it will not affect much. But i care for money. For me, bitcoins is equal to money. So if the price increase i will reduce my betting amount and if the price decrease I can increase.
