1301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: March 05, 2017, 12:15:14 AM

If you can treat gambling properly i guess there is nothing wrong.
But since nowadays a lot of people use gambling as source of income things turn wrong and worse.
They can not afford to lose but want to keep playing and get profit, it is not makes sense .

Alot of people cant control what they are doing so it is still advisable to stay away from gambling no matter what. Of course unless you own a very alrge amount of money that you dont care and willing to throw away than that is fine and apart from that it is actually wrong to gamble as it might lead to addiction
no , when you have a lot of money to spend you might will not choose to gamble at all.
there's a lot of fun things to do rather than have to spend their money into casino.
so basically it is not about the money you have , but about how you manage yourself to not ruin your life with gambling, the key is to do it occasionally, then gambling will not go wrong.

Of course that depends on the person, some people will choose other kind of things to do instead of gambling because they know that they dont really need it and of course if someone choose to gamble then he will have full responsibility for his own life because there is a high chance that gambling might ruin his life
That's right.
If one is a stable person that is not going to fall down for gambling and to be an addict, gambling is not a problem for him and just an hobbie.
But you should always be careful from not falling into it because it is could be a dangerous hobbie sometimes.

i just cannot imagine how someone can survive to be a gambler but not get addicted.
as far as i know gambling is addictive thing, once you get in you will facing a serious problem to leaving.
so basically gambling always be a wrong thing for common people (not fully wrong) , but everything back to ourselves on how you handle it.
good point its your own self that you need to control, better to assess yourself if you are already abusing it, those money that you already lose and those time that you supposed to be for your family that you use for your gambling instead maybe that also should be considered,.
Yeaaa you have to become more mature and do it responsibly when you are gambling.
But still in most people point of views gambling always be a wrong thing.
So brace yourself to accept that fact , and your statement really makes sense about family time, make me aware about it now.
1302  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The danger of the cyptocurrencies on: March 05, 2017, 12:02:36 AM
probably one of the dangers of cryptocurrency is when people need it more than fiat. when it happens, it is likely the country's economic system will be disrupted, since most of the state revenues are also derived from taxes on fiat. when people prefer to use cryptocurrency, then fiat will not have a price.
You are right, I think, This is the worst situation to countries. When everything become digital, No real money. I think this is one of the most danger of cryptocurrency. Maybe we will achieve this moments, when bitcoin price increase more. More people will start using bitcoin, Maybe the 80% or more of the world populations. So real money will be ignored.
As time goes by i think there will be a technology to audit and regulate bitcoin.
So don't worry about it, just keep believing in bitcoin and help everything about bitcoin to grow around you .
The only problem i concern is when everything done online , it makes everyone vuln to anti-social disease.
1303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: March 04, 2017, 11:55:11 PM
While play gambling and lost, do you add more beting or stop play gambling? I always add more beting and deposit again, i can't control my self. Do you have suggesting for me?

Controlling ourselves in the gambling are commonly factors where the gambler are always cried out home after the end of the game because of lack control to themselves. Which is very important for the player to have it in the games.
You just need to be calm down , everytime you decide to play you have to play with a cool brain.
People usually always get rushed when they are in the middle of the game.
Make the decision you make in the game so poor , only based on your emotion.
1304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can u lose with gambling? on: March 03, 2017, 11:13:22 AM
I can afford to lose till i want to play maybe 0.2 bitcoin in a week or in a row i really enjoyed playing gambling because the excitement i get from it the experience the fun i get from entertaining people i met i don't problem loosing bitcoin because i had some business to do and to earn bitcoin with.

Wow, I can't afford to lose such big amount... You must be a European or residing on places near that because it seems that money is not that hard to earn for you...  Smiley

Anyway, I can't do that, and as far as I remember, the last amount that I remember being deposited in my bankroll was .01 only and nothing more than that... Usually I play with giveaways and from faucets and of course from tips...  Smiley
That proves that the definition of so much is based on our capital, like marcuslong, he can afford to lose that amount but for us it's already too much. Our status in life varies but we should be all sitting in the safe side, one can enjoy gambling regardless of the amount he puts as long as thrill and excitement is always there.
yeaa it is always be most people problem when they decide to gamble more than the amount that they can afford to lose.
people never learn from the past experience , as the power of greedy is too strong.
you should not exceed the limit , for me personally i only do 10% max income to gamble twice a week in the weekend.
- 0,2btc /week, it is a sum of money with me, I never gamble with larger amounts, sometimes I gamble every weekend and I used to play sports gambling. Because sports gambling is very exciting and I can use my analysis, prediction to win. I only gamble like a game, it helps me relax, entertain after a stress week. I do not want to spend much money on gambling, I often save money because I know the money will be useful. "Afford to lose" but does not mean to use the money to gamble
0.2 bitcoin per week really high for me , i might get that amount for two weeks if i do have profit from another source.
Sportsbetting is really favorited for those people who love on sports.
I love it too and do it occasionally when my lovely club/player in action.
1305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BlockChain So Slow to Confirm on: March 03, 2017, 10:59:02 AM
You are paying 80sat/byte. Not a small fee, still much smaller than the recommended.
The interesting part is https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx recommends 150 sat/byte and https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ recommends 220.

The mempool is bigger and bigger. You need much higher fees if you are in a hurry.

I have used https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ in the past and it worked well.

Now a message shows -  "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later."  It has been showing for past couple of days.

More and more have heard of this, more and more are using it and the limit is filled faster.
all of the slow confirmation caused by spending unconfirmed transaction , i have experienced something like that too.
But recently i heard there a lot of people complaining about this unconfirmed transaction number getting bigger.
I don't know if there some people doing a stresses attack again on blockchain metwork? it is possible right?
1306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: March 03, 2017, 10:48:43 AM
I don't think investment is part of gambling if you mean about invest on casino bankroll.
There's no way for you to rely on gambling to make profit and get a help from it.
Too dumb to think about how gambling help your life as mostly it has bad ending .

Everyone knows that investment in gambling site's bankroll is part of gambling as well however since you are with the house, you are getting the house edge advantage as well so you can possibly be getting profit in the long run. If there isnt any variance on the gambler than that profit is guaranteed for you to have
No i don't , as i consider investment is just investment no matter where you put your money on.
Gambling shouldn't treated as something that could raise your life level or something it won't happened .
It is only help the casino owner to keep getting rich and much more rich.
1307  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: March 03, 2017, 10:19:52 AM
1. You can't get robbed from your Bitcoin
2. You can lose money by dropping it accidentally
3. Bitcoin is safer
4. Bitcoin can't rip like paper money
The most important is because it can be used wherever you are extremely flexible not complicated to use and store. if you have a lot of bitcoin you would not bother to keep it. different when it's in the form of cash
But still a lot of people struggle to know more about bitcoin , the technical explanation on how bitcoin generated make them confused.
And you know in the end they are surrender to get more information about bitcoin and to start to use it.
A lot of advantage but at firstime bitcoin seemslike not commonpeople-friendly.
1308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: March 03, 2017, 10:12:03 AM
The easiest way to get money is definitely from gambling. There is no assurance at all so you could lose your initial money. That's just going to hurt more, and you are going to be broke. There are different strategies that can come from the net or other resources. You just have to see what's right for you.
Agreed with you said if the easiest way to get or losing our money is from gambling, but disagree with bolded parts. There is no such like strategies which can make profit for you, if those strategies really worked, the person who told us about that should become a millionaire. Wink
Different "strategies" for entertain only in gambling, especially on dice games.
yeaa that's what i mean about strategy only another way to entertain yourself.
rely on a strategy will never make you get profit easier , it is make your game more complicated instead.
make yourself wake up from the dream about getting a steady income with gambling , it won't work and it is won't happened.

Indeed. Sometimes formulating a strategy in gambling can be stressful instead of just enjoying the moment. There will be games that can make gambling a lot more challenging with strategy but in general, i think the best thing you can do when you gamble is just to enjoy the moment. Profit will come when it comes if you play luck based games. If you want a better chance of earning profits, bet on something of interest to you. For sure you'll have an advantage in knowing where to place your bets on.
Luck based games is completely random you will never have a high expectation from there.
At least it is better rather than have to wasting your time to find the best formula to make a non sense winning strategy.
I just can say there is no way for anyone to make profit in gambling , moreover the easiest way.

http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:chart_analysis:introduction_to_candlesticks

This, you will need to know how the charts work and what indicates on what

Yet, don't purely rely on the charts because in the crypto industry, there's no limit how low a coin can go and how high it can go Smiley
Forex trading and cryptocurrency trading is pretty much different indeed.
But learning on something such as a charts is a basics knowledge to know more about the meaning of trading in universal.
You can learn anywhere and anytime as long as you have an internet connection to surfing on the internet , there a lot of articles explaining about how to begin trading etc, you just have to pick one who comes from a reliable sources, a reliable sites.
1310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Go to Land Based Casinos? on: March 03, 2017, 09:53:22 AM
Even though I have the capacity to visit the real ones and I know how to go there. I don't want to visit there, it's full of temptation and everything that I had can lose easily. I read a lot of stories that made their life ruined by those real casino's. It's better to gamble online with bitcoin since I can gamble with a smaller threshold.
If you not yet ready to go there then you don't have to it .
Gambling in real casino never as essy as when we control our emotion in online casino.
I have seen a lot of people involved in a huge fight between a player who accused the dealer cheated him just because he got a super unlucky losing streaks , and a lot of any other real life problem.
1311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: March 03, 2017, 09:24:45 AM
You do not see anyone rich from gambling, which is taken for granted. No one rich from gambling or if there are people that, they can not sustain. Today you can win but tomorrow you can lose. And you want to get back the money lost, you plunge into the gambling to earn its money back. Decided not to gamble is your right decision.I have also seen many people lost property, homes just because of gambling. But gambling is not bad. You can see it as a form of entertainment after a tiring working hours. And if you intend to get rich from gambling, then I advise you not to because could not get rich from gambling.
I think only those people who are not strong in decision power and in experience people  can lose in again the winning amount. But those people who have strong decision power and having good well power then they can sustain and can even increase their winning amount. But I think very little number of people has the power.
lol no matter how strong you are , how wise you are in making decision , gamble in the long run really hard to make it keep in profit.
it is always gives you a negative EV , you can not avoid the fact that making money with this way is unreal.
i believe only those people who won big and leave gambling forever the only one who get rich.
We might see people who are making money in gambling and made a fortune on it but they are considered the most intelligent gamblers in the world. I have Billy Walters documentary and he really made fortune in gambling especially in sports betting so I believe there is a chance if you only know how to choose the right game for you. Not all games are intended to give you a chance to win, so choose wisely to take your skills to work.
Okay billy walters and then who else? No? No body else?
So you compare 1 lucky guy to millions people who got unfortune gambling in the long run make you optimistic?
I don't think it was really realistic for you or for anyone else who want to make gambling profitable in the rest of your life.
1312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you ever bought games from Steam using Bitcoin? If so, for how much? on: March 01, 2017, 06:19:29 PM
I didn't know that so many people here use Steam. I mean it makes a little bit of sense as this being a computer forum and all.

I haven't purchased anything from steam though I purchased $1,000+ with BTC at Gamestop.
no it is not indeed , but people around here sometimes use steam and buy games with bitcoin for the sake help the merchant of bitcoin growing faster , so another similar merchants will follow how steam adopt bitcoin as their payment processor.
i don't often play games , but i have bought several games there with bitcoin foo.

It's good to see that people here isn't just about money and they are having fun!

Helping another human being out is the right thing to do, nice job.

I didn't know that so many people here use Steam. I mean it makes a little bit of sense as this being a computer forum and all.

I haven't purchased anything from steam though I purchased $1,000+ with BTC at Gamestop.

Well why not  Smiley, in my country, the steam regional pricing is sooo much cheaper than price in $. The only time i purchased games from somewhere else is when humblebundle or bundlestar has a good bundle running or there's some glitch in other site. Steam is also easy to use and it's nice to organize your games into one application.

The price difference is very interesting to note, thanks for that I didn't realize that until now.
yeaaa since i know not much i can do to help bitcoin grow faster as payment processor .
i always wondering to see bitcoin really used globally , i mean even a non-tech savvy use and spend bitcoin .
steam have a large community , and i have invited a lot of people to use bitcoin to buy a game there and so far most of them really interested in bitcoin.
1313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I never made any profits in dice game.. whats is your opinion on: March 01, 2017, 05:36:07 PM
Anyone that wants to obtain profits form gambling should stop immediately and consider what are you doing, especially in a game like dice where there is no way to beat the house, stop and think if after that you decide you want to keep gambling to get some fun that is ok, but don't gamble to get profits since that is impossible.
I think you are wrong , we don't always lose against house for sure and I agree that gambling for fun is better but I wouldn't say it's impossible to get profit and if you see around many people did make could profits but they couldn't control themselves and they ended up spending up all the initial investment and profits on gambling.
the only thing you can expect in a game such as dice is a sure losing.
no matter how much effort you put in this game , the result will always about a losses , dice is a place for losers.
you should to know that to gamble in the long run is a real bad idea , my neighbour have lost 10 btc play this game, nowonder if everyone experience it too.
1314  Economy / Economics / Re: Passive Income on: March 01, 2017, 05:25:23 PM


One thing that I can recommend to have passive income is that you upload some photos to youtube while you have some adsense channel set up on it. With that you can have income from google without doing much effort for every ads clicked by users on your youtube videos can get you to earn $.This is a good opportunity for everyone but having an adsense account though isn't easy these days.  Agasense account is very difficult to acquire because of the requirements they ask for publishers.  But it should be worth for you to have a passive income forever.
i always want to do that kind stuff such as an ads publisher etc .
it is really can gives you a good passive income but unfortunately for me looks like it wasn't my way.
have tried to be a good earner over there , nothing significant change , i got a very low earning , now i prefer to do invest on altcoin ( a reputable one ) and get a profit later in the future as my passive income.
1315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: March 01, 2017, 05:14:15 PM
I think there is no special strategy in dice gambling, which I do is play with the casual, not pressure and it just makes the dice gambling as entertainment. If we just focus for the win, then everything looks ugly and make our emotions if lost.

That's the best way to play it and not any kind of strategy that is just potentially a losing one. Well, actually all the strategy you can think of in gambling usually fails. That is the reason why casinos are still here. There are millions of slot games in casinos, why do you guys think they are still operational for the longest time? If the smartest people has already said it can't be done, then it will not be. A strategy whatever it is for dice will never work.
Certainly, there is no certain in dice game. However, the mood of the gambler would help him to make a profit. The more pressured that gambler to pursue huge profit, the higher the chance he might lose in a row. Hence, just simply being relax in rolling the dice, you could be more focused what bet you are going to put your money.
true , you have to play in relac condition , don't get rushed and stay calm.
even though it is hard to make it happen in dice game , at least give it a try and see .
dice game really full of luck , the only thing to handle it is by controlling the situation and keep gambling randomly.
You are right here patience is important, when you are fully free, and your mind is fresh, you can play this game, and sometimes it will work out. But if you play this game with your disturbed mind you will end with the loss. There is no strategy in dice game the only thing is you have to handle your bankroll and stop your play at the right time.
nahhh the problem is when you never know when actually the right time to stop .
dice game always push us to play till the end of your money burned , this game totally dangerous for those people who have a high temperament.
so just keep yourself in control by thinking about something really important related to your life once you feel you are almost push the limit.
1316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about bonuses on btc casino ? on: March 01, 2017, 04:53:23 PM
I don't really care for btc bonuses in casinos...

I like free spins and those things that's for sure
But deposit bonuses for example are pure shit, you never get your amount as you've to gamble like 35 times the amount on slots before ><
deposit bonus terms always sucks , always make us as player in disadvantage .
it looks fair when we provided a double capital amount but the wagering requirement make everything complicated.
i don't like a bonuses like that too , prefer to looking for a temporary promotion usually it gives a good terms , a really fair terms.
True, the bonuses are made only to lure people. They act like an additional positive fact that you see when choosing the casino.
-that one has great games and this one has great games, that one is reputable and this one is too, that one doesn't offer deposit bonuses though, then I know which one to choose!
That's how it works in our mind, even though the bonuses are very hard to withdraw, we tend to choose casinos that offer them.
yeaaa casino playing with our psychology , they show a good thing at first but then it is a terrible thing actually.
i don't really interested with the deposit bonus .
as i have tried it several times and the result my money always gone within a couple hours only , when i earn it all in very very long time.

1319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: March 01, 2017, 10:36:04 AM
if you are not a regular gambler then you could not play with the profit bet when you are a regular gambler then you have to do it.
Yes, for those gamblers who prefer to stop after sometimes of gambling will not go for re-using their profits again into another round of gambling. Only the continuous gamblers will play again with profits and probably will stop only after facing loss of all the bankroll. Yes, playing with profits will find an end only at white-wash.
so prefer to gamble occasionally only , you will enjoy the winning even for a while .
you will not have to gamble with the profit , and really treat gambling as entertainment not to make money .
i have no skill to become a regular gambler , i don't know if anyone can really be a successful regular gambler?

The majority of people that have been successful on gambling are those who gamble the most, because they have a lot of chance to win compared to gamble occasionally. Gambling is just a game of luck. So it means that you will high chance of winning if you gamble frequently but also you may gave an opposite result. So it is just a matter of luck and risking.
I don't think the more time you spend to gamble the more chance for you to win in gambling.
The simple example is when you have seen a lot of people babbling about how they become poor not even make profit.
So i really don't belive on keep playing with your profit could make you have a bigger chance to win rather than play occasionally.
1320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: March 01, 2017, 10:20:00 AM
Gambling can only help you in your life if you are making profit from it. Otherwise it doesn't help you and it makes you lose your money.
But you should never make gambling your only source of income. It is too risky to do that with gambling.

And thinking about making profit in gambling, the only possible way is that you should need to have investment into it. Because if you don't have so, then you will just always hope to get winnings from it, none other that gambling will help us to ruin our lives.
I don't think investment is part of gambling if you mean about invest on casino bankroll.
There's no way for you to rely on gambling to make profit and get a help from it.
Too dumb to think about how gambling help your life as mostly it has bad ending .
