6701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we encourage anyone to develop self control in order to minimize gambling? on: February 28, 2017, 06:14:53 PM
Self control is within everybody and no one needs to be told to be self control by default, its in everyone the attitude we display towards it is what differs as what might be self control to me, might be within the acceptance region of another person. In the case of gambling, I dont think its necessary because the assumption I have concerning anyone engaging in gambling is that he / she is fully responsible for his action so if the result should come out of self control or lack of it, he/she should be ready for its consequence.
But I believe, suggesting to have self control is more important for gamblers than anyone else. Unlike any other industry, gambling gives us extra pressure that is the reason people are losing their coolness and act based on their emotions. I guess no other field is emotionally controlling us to lose our self control.

Self control is the thing which could be developed just by encouraging one person. It will be possible only through strong will power. Still, in some cases, encouragement will help people to develop disciplines from that they may practice self control.

Theoretically everything is hackable. Every password can be broken. Just for some you need immense time or more energy then sun poses.
That requirement of immense time and efforts makes the difference between hackable and secured. When we are having extra protection measurements like bitdice's email verification for logging in, again this requirement of immense time and efforts grow in exponential to get broken. Really need to thank for providing such a security system which cannot be found even with high volume exchanges too.

I feel secured to add more bankroll into bitdice for this reason, when I am very much comfort about my security, I preferring adding more money for my gambling.
6703  Other / Off-topic / Re: How are you earning BTC? on: February 28, 2017, 04:22:00 PM
This week I've made 75% from trading and 50% from sig campaign - usually I make more from the campaign - but had a great week with all the volatility
It is really hard to make a good amount of money out of signature campaigns but they are still a good and easy way to make some bitcoins, the only way you could make profit is by working in other domains such as freelancing and offering services for bitcoin, I wouldn’t recommend trading for new users until you get some experience.

I am just earning from freelancing along this signature campaign. I am planning for working as signature BB code designer but I am still a learner there. I always look for more ways of earning bitcoins.
6704  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: February 28, 2017, 03:39:20 PM
yes bitcoin does have its advantage because bitcoin gives the user opportunity to earn money and ma happy living just with a smartphone or laptop. bitcoin have good points like price hike which results in more value of available bitcoin in wallet.
Yeah I think bitcoin is much easy to earn as compare to fiat money or real money because for this you just have a laptop or pc and a internet connection for this purpose so, you have make money through different means through it.

If you compare a freelancer and a member who is making money through signature campaign or trading. You will find the difference.

But in this digital era, preferring bitcoin would be a right choice IMHO.
6705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing investment on Gambling sites on: February 27, 2017, 03:31:32 PM

Was planing to invest on a gambling site since they said its a gauranteed profit since the house can't lose but I'm still skeptical about it, i don't have much BTC so I have to make sure whether its going to be profitable for me.  What possibilities could happen to the gambling site i wanted to invest into and how am i going to lose my investment in such a manner?

Since that you are entering the gambling world, there are no assurance and guaranteed that your investment  will be multiply or more. Therefore, what I'm trying to emphasize to you must do it on your own risk. Because gambling can be full of loosing money in a long run, so the profit you are saying is very seldom to find out in gambling sites.
If you are planning on investing in gambling sits you are signing your death wish, because gambling always involves risks and it is all based on luck so your profit from it is not guaranteed, even if you win once you will lose it the next time, if you’re really wish to invest your money try trading or other investments.

But this will not a same case for all the gamblers as I am seeing many gamblers are also making their fortune from gambling sites. Still they are only very few when we are considering the number of losers in gambling.
6706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and betting?? on: February 27, 2017, 01:52:22 PM
Betting is more better for me. You can pick matchs, analysis, make more odds. Gambling is all up to chance. Sometimes try my chance with dice game in yolodice but i like football match and football bets.

There r lots of alternatives. Especially at the weekend. Weekend there r lots of matches so u can pick what u want. For me best way to betting is live bets. If i watch the match i can choose more wisely and more exicitement.

When im greedy all my bets are lost Smiley Best way is earn small but be patience.
When it comes to gambling it is all about luck and has no skill involved in it not so ever, betting on the other hand takes skills and analysis and it is based on your knowledge about the teams the game and how you adjust your decisions based on the game, but it also involves some luck in it but not as much as gambling.

When we are considering overall characteristics of these two, we cannot find big differences but in detail there are lot of differences we can realize. Personally I prefer betting over gambling.
6707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: February 27, 2017, 01:20:32 PM
If you trade altcoins than yes it is like kind o gambng,most of them are scams,hypes you nver know whan thay disapear,genrally trading is not gambling.trading is simply buy sell to get a profit.In gambling you have small chance to make profit
Trading altcoins that offer nothing new is risky since those coins don’t have a long term future at all, but investing in coins that offer new solution or a new way to do something offer a great opportunity to profit from them.
Yeah, trading especially in altcoins is nothing but risks since their price is not that stable and giving the fact that trading is also considered as gambling since both of them involve a lot of risk, but trading is dealing with more skill and experience than gambling which is all about luck.

Some vague days on trading, I too feel there are no difference between gambling and trading. But with trading I am in profits side but I have quit gambling because I lost big there.

I've come to an understanding that in this world, money is actually not the key to success. It's knowledge. No matter how rich you are, if you're too dumb, people would take advantage of you and even set you up and make you end up being broke. Someone who's knowledgeable about something can easily find a good job and get paid good money

Something like a fool and his money are soon parted

Other than that, even if you have knowledge and experience this is obviously not enough. You should also be properly motivated to make use of your expertise (I don't even say that you should just be healthy overall). Besides that, not all animals are born equal, some are more equal than others. But ultimately you are right indeed, everyone is his own master, and if you want to do something you will find a way but if you don't want to do it, you will find excuses
People don’t understand that investing money on something requires a lot of research and a lot of thinking before deciding that the thing that you are investing in is good enough for you, and don’t except to immediately get profit and get rich as soon as you start there is no fast way to earn money that does not involve risks.

Out of these rush, only scammers are finding the most benefits. People chose wrong opportunities when they deliberately looking for opportunities which goes in favor of scammers.
6709  Economy / Economics / Re: Is trading just educated guessing? on: February 27, 2017, 11:48:44 AM
Can you really be sure you will profit unless you have insider info?
With altcoin trading, I agree with the you that I will not be able to make any profits there without any help from inside people. Because only devs and their team are well known about when one particular altcoin is going to be pumped or dumped. I have noticed rapid changes in price levels along with their recommendations.

For bitcoin trading, I have not come across with the any insider information so I'm not sure whether this type of manipulation is existing or not. When considering the 18+ billion dollars market cap of bitcoin markets, I believe there will be no possibility of manipulation by some people.
6710  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: February 27, 2017, 08:20:29 AM
I believe bitcoin prices will stay similar to gold prices, staying so stable. Before end of this week we can expect bitcoin prices to beat gold prices.
Yes, both gold and bitcoin are more stable as it is present for a long time, while bitcoin is very new as compare to bitcoin and making its appreciations to match gold. I think when time will pass the bitcoin will become more stable but I think the income that we can get from bitcoin right now we cannot expect it from gold.

Bitcoin is good for now because we are using the technology and we have access to it, and Bitcoin cannot be confiscated by governments like gold was in many countries worldwide..
That is the reason people are expecting bitcoin to beat gold in near future. When considering the flexibility and usage as per digital era and day to today life, bitcoin is only suitable whereas gold is completely remains as a traditional way of store of value.
6711  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: February 27, 2017, 07:26:27 AM
Right we are in completely different situation after bitcoin enters into my life. But still i believe in fiat currency it is the major currency which will ruin their corresponding countries. Fiat currency is the main currency which is used to buy other currency at specified prices given to other currencies. So all other currencies depend on fiat currency only.

I don't even have a time to doubt fiat because there's no way that we are going to have time for not believing it.

We can't buy everything if we are not going to believe in fiat. And everything on this world are still depending on fiat.

It's the worlds preferred medium of currency.
Fundamentally we do not have any reasons not to believe on fiat. Fiat is being used by the people throughout the world and without fiat it is difficult to survive because bitcoin or any other crypto currency cannot provide us such facilities that fiat can. But things might differ when bitcoin will hit mainstream adoption.

Just in 2 to 5 years, I am sure bitcoin will be available every part of this world and every single person will be using it and there will be no need to depending on fiats anymore at those times. We may still believe in to fiats but we do not need to use it.
6712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing in casinos on: February 26, 2017, 09:20:26 PM
Finding a reputable casinos is not a hard job to do, we have threads here dedicated for a specific casinos running their business and we can always read the feedback of the people, and we have already a good understanding on where to invest. Though it does not guarantee that we are scam free but at least we are confident with what we are doing. Moreover, we need to diversify our investments.
Although it is not such an easy job to find a trusted casino, but I think bitcointalk can make it easy for you to find a trusted casino, where you can invest your money in a trusted casino. But still you also need to do some investigation about the casino where are you are going to invest our money.

nowadays the reputed casinos suddenly they will turn into a loss. So be careful before investing any casino site.
This is the point even veteran investors get failed because no one can be sure all the times about the future of one business. Even long searches also fail in this case.
6713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do winning and losing gamblers have different personalities or habits? on: February 26, 2017, 08:38:56 PM
Yeah, I have noticed it, but in my thinking, it is not right that winning in gambling is not depend on personalities or habits. Because i think it depend on Luck, many useless personalities can win in gambling, but only when luck cooperate with them.
But it is other thinking when someone say that strategy or skills would be needed in gambling than also it will be matter our personalities or habits.
Yeah and talking about habits I have seen gamblers who loose a lot they still rain away a little often while there are guys who win most of the time yet they never rain or share their winnings.

Not encouraging rains here but actually I am saying that each person is different and even loosing gamblers can be polite and humble while winners may be too kind or too miser in their life. We can not really conduct any survey (as op suggested ) based on these.
6714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about bonuses on btc casino ? on: February 26, 2017, 06:12:47 PM
As i can't afford losing too much money from gambling, bonuses from btc casino is a lot of help to me. I can play more longer because of that bonus. If a btc casino has a bonus like deposit bonus i can enjoy it more because i can bet large amounts compared when there is no bonus. If lucky, my profit would also be bigger to.

True yo can bet bigger if you have deposit bonus and your profit might be bigger as well at the time you bet, but the profit is nothing if you have not meet the wagering requirement yet and most likely you will lose all your bonus + initial deposit before completing the wagering requirement.
I myself prefer to avoid any deposit bonuses, bet using my own deposit is always better for me as I can stop anytime after winning because I do not need to think about rollover.
I agree , spending a deposit bonus on a gambling site is a very good deal . You can earn a bitcoin on a gambling game without worrying the bitcoin you will lost in your game. Majority of us here wants or agree that bitcojn bonuses really helps us in playing gambling games.
That is true but bonuses are always given a for a simple reason because they want to either introduce their site to you or they want you to keep gambling ( like loyalty bonuses ) and both the things are quite bad for a gambler.

In case a gambler thinks of quitting and gets an email about a new bonus they just start again and then deposit their own money. Overall, we can say bonuses works well for gambling houses but very rarely will work in favor of gamblers. Still, it is our responsibility to stay safe.
6715  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fixed income with BTC trading? on: February 26, 2017, 08:10:50 AM
For those who have a skill in trading and can predict which coins would be better to trade and some luck you can earn something from trading, but for stable income I think no unless you had a time to do.
With the respect to altcoin trading, almost every trader must have strong skill set + some luck to earn.
But, luck will not be playing any significant role for bitcoin trading against fiats. Because unlike most of altcoins, bitcoin is not being manipulated randomly. With some technical analysis we can predict directions of price movements.

Still, I doubt steady income from trading and particularly from bitcoin is possible. Because I do find on some days, bitcoin prices are trading in range bound and we could not find the any decent profits within that range.

Expecting fixed income from trading for this reason still looks like a greedy for me. Trading without losses would be a big achievement rather than achieving fixed income imho.
6716  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Methods for Shorting Altcoins with BTC on: February 25, 2017, 07:41:45 PM
I basically want to use a short as a hedge while investing in altcoin-denominated investments/securities.
I am not finding any exchanges offering selling-first types of trading. I have seen this feature only with Forex trading platforms. I believe, for cryptocurrency world it is completely new thing. Basically cryptocurrency exchanges are still working peer-to-peer type of exchanges whereas forex works peer-to-broker kind of exchange.

My long term investment goal is to grow my BTC position (regardless of current exchange rate in terms of USD).
For making more bitcoins, I guess you need not looking for shorting altcoins. Making use of altcoin trading and just holding bitcoins will help you to earn better in more effective way within short period of time than you expect.
6717  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which trading method is better? on: February 25, 2017, 05:52:15 PM
At present, I am doing a research on the most profitable trading method and I am wondering: Is it better to do btc/fiat trading or btc/altcoin trading?

Which method yields the highest profit?
Its seems like most of the people prefer Usd/Bitcoins market.

While I am not denying guys that it's much more safe and easier since all we have to do is wait but if you are a person who has some nice understanding and knowledge then you can earn with altcoins.

Since, you can just buy some potential coins, wait for the peak to reach and then sell all of them. Tactically this market is much better while in hindsight the best market is still Usd/bitcoins.
6718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about bonuses on btc casino ? on: February 24, 2017, 04:06:56 PM
Who doesn't like bonuses? As long as they can be used to earn real money. Because some of the sites gives you bonuses but only for trying the site but you cannot cash out anything if you win something out of that, so such bonuses are almost meaningless, but some websites offer some bonuses which you can use to win some bitcoins if you can really manage to do that, and such bonuses are really fun to play with.
there is no realistic bonus given by the casino , they have calculated everything and it is always in casino favor. 35x or 40x wagering requirement are one of many casino strategy to attract players to give a shot win bigger amount with limited capital.

there is no harm to try it out , but if you know how the feeling , then it is up to you to choose it or not.
Honestly casinos give bonus for their own benefits. They are using different trick to attract people to their casinos.
I think it is their advertisement. Some casinos give bonus through which you can only play, while some other casinos also give option to use the bonus to play with or can cash the bonus, depending on the person who is receiving the bonus.

I always look for bonuses but simply utilizing those bonus does not mean I will continue my gambling with them there after. It means I just use their bonuses just to check their services.
6719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you choose casino to play? on: February 24, 2017, 01:49:56 PM
I also when I find casino write a name from that casino in google and I write casino name and review and then if I like review then I join to that casino and gamble there.
in other word it must be trusted enough and make players satisfied based on most reviews, more specific people love to looking for an attractive promotion (not a bonus that required rollover) people tired give a shot on something like that.

a unique promotion just like how directbet did every month in their happyhour maybe?
In my area as gambling in not legal, therefore we do not have legal casinos here.

We do not have formal casino here, we have just limited games in our casinos, actually there are more chances that the police will react and will get seal the casino therefore the owners are trying to not to invest any big amount in their casino.

Out of this, I have only option playing with online gambling sites. I just follow bitcointalk reputations while choosing my gambling site. I they are not active on this forum, I will not touch them.
6720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: February 24, 2017, 12:01:39 PM
Sometimes i became rich when i win thrice in a row because of playing in a game. So therefore riching side that is part of luck and your destiny to become a rich person in the world.

If it is so easy to become rich then most of the gamblers by now would have been rich by winning few times. If you want to become rich, then you should find a way to work hard and smart and not from an easy method. IN gambling only if you're lucky then you can win some big amounts otherwise most of the time you will lose money. So it is good to try your luck with a small amount once in awhile instead of everyday.

I do believe that you won't get rich with gambling... Even if you win big, we can't deny the fact that before we win, we lose, and after winning big amount, we are not going to quit gambling for good... Most gamblers, after winning big, they return and thinks that they could win more as they are thinking about it that they might still be lucky...  Smiley
But I think it depend on the bet for example if you win a millions dollar bet then it can make a rich person over nigh. But after that it depend on your strategy that how you manage that amount.

If you will continue gambling with that amount without any planning and strategy then there are more chances that you will even lose your all winning amount again and if you have some good strategy then you have chances to keep your money with you and even increase it.
