1501  Economy / Economics / Re: Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc on: January 13, 2017, 07:26:51 AM
Gold has value whatever state the world is in.  Btc needs a heck of a lot of infrastructure to even exist.  Come the impending zombie apocalypse, I know where I am keeping my money.
Bitcoin only needs blockchain to exist. All these exchangers were established after a while when people were already mining bitcoins. Bitcoin used to be a P2P currency but we have exchanger now but that doesn't need that we need those for bitcoin to exist.

In a zombie apocalypse, gold and bitcoin (or any currency) would be both invaluable. What would be valuable are guns, foods, shelter, safe place, cure for the virus, etc. You can't eat either gold or bitcoin. It's not a means for survival. People wouldn't be needing luxurious stuffs (gold necklace, etc.) when there's a zombie apocalypse.

(I watched the Walking Dead right from the start so yeahhh.)
bitcoin required internet access too , once internet turned off nothing you can do with bitcoin.
since bitcoin or gold is not a primary needs then yeaaa in such situation both will just worthless.
people consider gold not as payment system anymore while bitcoin it is, so just better to hold bitcoin you can spend it.
1502  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Market Panic can drive BTC prices Lower on: January 13, 2017, 07:14:26 AM
Of course it can take some influence on bitcoin but panic selling or buying can't make any radical changes. But when price is becoming lower and lower, in that time panic buying can speed up this process but it can't make beggar more than 40%, if that happened, than there are many other important factors also with panic buying and selling.
the current situation will not run forever , the panic selling that makes the price keep dropping will not run forever too.
it is just the matter of time for the market to bounce back, so make sure you are there whe it happened.
i see this as a normal thing , nothing new .
after years of watching bitcoin movements i'm immune with this so for sure panic selling would not a be good for those who's holding it right now since that chances of bouncing back to its price will still possible just really needed a lots of patience and waiting period but for sure it will go back time and time again, just keep believing and think about your investment.
it is indeed you have be patient , especially if you are on lost situation.
i know that feeling , really hard to stop this fingers to push the selling button and cut loss.
but just back to the main purpose why you holding bitcoin then? just keep holding and enjoy the profit later in the future.
1503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Controlling your temper in gambling on: January 13, 2017, 07:06:02 AM
  I gambled a lot before, I was capable to lose all my money in one hour. Now I'm older and wiser, and I have some routines. Controlling money and time is important, first learn to control that and then gambling temper, its easier, in one moment when you organize life outside casino it will be hard to find free time for gambling.
   Guys everything is our minds, be strong and you will succeed in everything. I think weak minded gamblers tend to lose more then stable mind gamblers.
  

As I know you, you began to gamble exactly when you started to make money with bitcoin. And you didn't a stop. You play poker almost every day. But good that you don't spend money from your official work salary, but only those bitcoins that your campaign pays to you Wink
Every people knows what hes doing specially when he already passed into those challenges or hardships on playing gambling and as he said we should really have strong minds as a gambler and shouldn't be weak because temper/emotions would definitely control us if we just let it come on ourselves.Anyone has the right on playing gambling and we should be responsible on what consequences might happen.
your minds was weak when you decide to come to a casino and gamble there.
no matter you have a reasonable purpose to gamble such as to get different entertainment.
i think it will just hard to control over your temper , gambling always blow your mind no matter you lost or win.
1504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: January 12, 2017, 09:33:36 PM
I samapai forget how much money I spent on gambling. probably because too many and not just one gambling site that I often use. but to get a win we really should not be greedy,learn from where I was finally able to get profit from gambling
Read carefully before you make a post.
If you're talking you are learning from your mistake in dice games or other gambling games based on luck, it's totaly a lie. You can't learn anything because it's depends from your luck. When you are making profit, it's all because your luck, no other else.

lol of course you can learn something from anything even it is a games that based on luck .
the lesson you can get from it for example , to not spend money too much as dice have a fast proccess to see the outcome.
you can lost million dollar within a minute, but you can win it easily too, worth to the risk actually.
Is that you called by "learning"? I think it's more about "Just gambling what you can affrod to lose", we can't learn anything when we gamble on dice, when we started rolling, it's determine from our luck.
Sports betting is one of example you can take as a lesson whatever it will win or lose (because it's not pure game based on luck, we should analyze first from their previous match/performance)

yeaa it is , the point is you shouldn't gambling excessively and push the limit .
especially if you gamble on dice, there is no way to ean money in the long run there.
anyway i am not sure if you fully understand what i mean about this ''learning'' .
1505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: January 12, 2017, 09:01:34 PM
Yep knowing to stop is a key part of gambling, if you know when to stop you have already made 50% of the job in betting game, if you cant control your impulses you will get constantly fucked by the odds, so you must run with your profits as soon as possible. Oh and when it comes to trading is the same, you must set stop losses and know when you fucked up and run with the money.
smart way to gamble can you find if you can control yourself in the game. but, it is very difficult to do that, in fact very few people who can do that. many people who try it, but in the end they got stuck in a gambling game. if you want to try, try to use the number of bets a little, but do not let you be tempted to keep playing, because it is common.
I guess things that could make you play smart in gambling is when you can get profit in the end.
I mean not only luck determine you to win or not , but also your intelligence.
To have a self-awareness that you won't get a winning forever so you'll just gamble ocassionally.
Well, if that's you basis of being smart then probably we are all dumb here. Most of us loses in gambling due to the advantage they have and it's no secret that they are getting richer while we are getting poorer if we battle with them in the long run. I guess being smart is to play with discipline and it does not have to be winning all the time as gambling is where you spend, not to earn.
i am not saying those people who not get profit in the end is a dumb.
but feel free to reacting on my statement, everyone have different thought i respect on it.
i just never intended to assuming like that, gambling shouldn't treated such as a source of income it is source of entertainment , people just cannot find it.
1506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: January 12, 2017, 08:16:41 PM
The easiest way would be to follow a good tipster. There r some free to view tipster competitions where you can also see the tipster's profile and roi. Just find the one who's good and generally bets on the same sports as you do and follow all of it unless you have an idea if that game is a risky one. Good luck.
I honestly did not trust on any tipster service , i think they are just selling their luck.
Even if they have a very impressive records i still have a lot of doubt on them.
Things feel like easier when you follow their tips but nothing can guarantee a winning but at least you have better chance with them isn't it?
1507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If the mining profits decrease, will Bitcoin end? on: January 12, 2017, 08:04:32 PM
not really. Bitcoin reward maybe decrease but bitcoin price will increase. It's why bitcoin price always increase year by year

Or bitcoin price decrease, mining profitability decrease, miner decrease, difficulty decrease, power use in mining will also decrease, making mining profitability increase.  It is a cycle.  Each sector will adopt to the changes of each sector.  The only thing that will stop bitcoin is when the demand of people to have bitcoin stop.

yes you're right. that's not easy to stop the demand, because bitcoin grow massively
Yes, the demand will persist and will break the cycle at any possible point. When bitcoin price decrease, some more new investment will enter to catch the comparatively lower prices which will stabilize everything else. As long as there are demands, we never need to worry about any ending as it will not be possible.
i guess it wil never give profit for a small miner , not since few years ago.
the difficulity and electicity cost makes solo mining not profitable anymore , but till now there a lot of active miner exist.
why? it is because they know even the bitcoin that they earned that time not worth but it will become worthy in the future.
1508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: January 12, 2017, 12:56:16 AM
It's necessary to be clever because gambling is a very risky way to earn money, and that can be done if we have the will to follow our game plan.

You dont need to be either a genius or clever to win, it doesnt really needs your knowledge at all if you just play luck based game. In the end what matters is your own luck and even if you have tons of plan , it will still be useless because if the lucky goddess doesnt shine upon you then you wont win at all
I think be smart/clever in any kind of activity in this world is required include in gambling.
You can now when the right time to stop/continue yo play if you clever enough reading the situation.
You can make something impossible such as to win in the long run through gambling if you clever enough.

It is not about being smart or genius but it is more about being not a complete idiot. All you need for that is your self conscience, it is your own money that you are gambling with so even if you ended up losing everything then it is your own stupidity and it has nothing to do with being clever or genius
lol can you imagine if you are completely idiot, and you gamble out there alone what would happened?
you'll lost everything even worst you could die terribly inside the casino.
but if you gamble with your brain (be clever) everything could have different story, everything will just run smoothly as planned.
1509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: January 12, 2017, 12:27:59 AM
Said in another manner,always bet what you can afford to lose and control yourself,that's the key to ending in profit,everything else is just a path that will sooner or later lead you to loss

The most suitable recommendation when you go to a site and gamble is that when you actually deposit into that site then you should have consider that your deposit is lost therefore even if you actually lose it then you probably will not get emotional with it , if you actually ended up winning then probably it is as your extra bonus
Probably correct, I agree that when you start entering gambling and start to deposit money, accept the fact that, that money you deposited is already lost so that you will not hurt if you get really lose in the game.
Yeaa it might could work , to make you gambling with feel nothing to lose, so no pressure there.
Gambling with the amount that you really need it always make you nervous and in the end you just lost it all in no time.
Addiction come from some feeling like that, so just avood it and enjoy the game.
However the thrill will be lessened and slowly you can lose your interest in gambling which is not what you want to happen. It's alright to think that you can win some money and enjoy at the same time, and it's okay to feel upset when you lose as long as you will accept it in time.
gambling really always surprising , yesterday i won 2 bitcoin for playing blackjack and some sportsbetting events.
but earlier about few hours ago, i almost lost it all play back in same games.
the greedy make me always come back to play, as simply as like that talking about an addiction.

Usually greed excitement and joy all 3 when combine are deadly
Its good to win but i dont gamble in casinos reason is simple house always wins, you can count card but in the end they will bust you
Also betting on sport is better for me place one two bets on some game or games then wait you will and you lose this is good.


i have done this gambling activity for long time enough mate.
now i realize no matter it is skill based games or luck based games , all just same.
you cannot win in the long run, it is hard. if you push yourself to do that i am afraid you'll just become frustated.
1510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you list Dice strategies other than martingale? on: January 11, 2017, 11:56:34 PM
i always like testing new strategies and having fun with dice, it is so flexible in a sense that you can do whatever you like.
but i always see people use martingale strategy, me included for the most part.

so i was wondering if anybody could list other strategies they can think of or use themselves here?

Most of the strategies which increase bet sizing after a losing bet are mostly just variations of martingale. Anti-martingale is another example which I find better than martingale as it helps me survive longer. But the best strategy I feel like is to make a straight single bet with all the money you plan on gambling.

at first i though anti martingale strategy can be even better and with a better result but after some studying on it, i found out that it actually is worse than other strategies. you will see that if you try it with some numbers.

I am going to list every single successful strategy for a dice site that is working properly:-snip-

do you see anywhere in my question that i am asking about a strategy that "works properly"?

i am just looking for strategies, not a magical way.

just make up your own then.

I really don't get dice sites at all, but copying someone else's method to lose money on the dice sites makes even less sense.
lol phildo , just let them whatever they wish to do.
we all know there is no strategy could work to earn you some quick money unless a hacking method.
people might just want to play dice with differerent way , just for the sake of fun i think there is no harm.

In the begining 2017 bitcoin show their great potential and i really happy. I hope altcoin will follow bitcoin in trend and price
if so , then 2017 should be the year of cryptocurrency, not the year of bitcoin only.
even though recently bitcoin price have reached to the lowest since last month ago.
there is interesting move on most altcoins, all get increased, it seems altcoin ready to show up its potential.
1513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your average bet per game? on: January 11, 2017, 10:45:12 PM
I bet with around the 20 dollar a bet and that is also my maximum a day at this moment, I also think that its more than enough by the way.

This is big enough for me.  I have a bankroll of 0.01 BTC and I bet around 1% of the bankroll.  If i doubled it I stop or if the bankroll is emptied.  That is also my budget of daily gambling allowance or whenever I decide to play gambling games. 
In sports betting I bet once a day with the same bankroll.  0.01 win or lose I stop for the day.
$20 max a day actually not really a high amount , it is around 0.03 or so.
i even think your way to gamble 1% out of 0.01 seems too small , i prefer do 0.01 bet at once.
also having a principle like "whatever lost or not i'll stop it" it is good, unfortunately noone of us can make that mission completed, you'll ended up to keep trying.
1514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: January 11, 2017, 10:25:50 PM
If you think you have gambling problems, stop buying Bitcoin. Try avoid every possible site that contains gambling graphics. Gambling just like fapping once you start you can't stop. Go seek professional advice, I've seen someone try to recover he lost from casino but he ended up being a homeless. True Story mate.


Gambling problems do not stop by just stopping with buying bitcoins, I think you really need to convince yourself.
The reason is we still gamble even without bitcoin, in real life we can use our own currency and we are good to go. It's the problem that is coming from within, with the urge to gamble, no one can stop us but ourselves.

That true , but the struggle is real. If there a will there always a way. Make a new hobby or do something make yourself forget about gambling. Maybe spending more time with family and Friends. Gambling addiction not a joke, it can cause you mental illness.
Yeaa you need a strong will to make your gambling activity as normal as possible.
I mean to not get addicted , just gamble occasionally. And feel nothing bad affected during and or after the game.
You will have nothing to worry if you gamble discipline and really for fun purpose only just like what gambling basically designed.

Yes , back then when I'm still gambling addict I lost my job and money. Went from something to nothing, feel so depressed. That the worst day in my life. Gambling for fun won't harm but when you gamble your life saving and time you gonna risk everything you got. When you gamble for living that not fun anymore all you get only worries. What can I make today am I gonna lose or win. This kind of question always hunting you.
Ouchhh , i honestly often hear some stories about how someone get broke because gambling.
More often than success stories in gambling , that's actually shows you how the real gambling works and affected someone life.
Most people failed to reach their ambition to keep winning which it is just illusion , so just stay safe.

Bitcoin can be used as a multifunctional that can basically offer anything a person might need. Instead storing bitcoins.
yeaa actually some people consider bitcoin as investment/commodity , so they just save/store it.
and maybe the one who think storing bitcoin only it is against bitcoin consider it as currency.
which nowadays a lot of people still not yet ready to accept it.

Well at the first place its safer and you can also make more money, gambling is really based on luck and you can than also lose everything at once.
in fact both trading and gambling are risky, but in trading we have a little advantage using your experience, because trading also depend on your previous experience and skill. while gambling depend on your  luck and there is very little role of your skill and experience in gambling.
things make trading better is when you don't have to rely on luck only not just like gambling.
most games in gambling required luck to win it , it is useless to use strategy or having experience.
no wonder why people prefer to go trading instead to gamble.
1520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Features of a dice game on: January 10, 2017, 08:30:44 AM
Everything said here and the poll is all basically on every dice site. I would suggest you to create something else and entertaining. We are all used to playing dice and actually tired of it. Every dice site is the same and they just mix it up a little. Don't make another dice site. Make something new.
your opinion not helpful at all i guess  Roll Eyes , we are talking about dice here.
if you don't like just leave it freely , a lot of people still enjoying this kind game.
however i just wondering to see a dice site that can be played PvP, goodluck for you OP.
