Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?

If you save money in bank, it is much better than invest them. But if we are talking about bitcoins, then it is much better to invest them as you will get profit from it
thats true, if you save it in the bank you usually not get anything, thats why i buy more bitcoins
While you cannot put all your money your bitcoin wallet because that could be a very risky action, we should learn how to analyze things over and my advise to everyone here is that always know the risk before you act, banks do protect our savings while bitcoin is good for invest on the amount that we can afford to lose.

Invest on trading that would be better than investing on amy websites as well as on gambling it can't be profitable because you will end up losing in the long . If you have enough knowledge on trading that wpuld be your advantage and you have to improve it .

But without knowledge trading can be even worse than gambling, and it will require a lot of time and money to get on professional level. Investing in crypto business (like gambling sites or some other opportunities) is safer and easier. In trading you also need to check charts every day and still there are risks of flash crashes.

As my self i do prefer trading because in gambling i cant win i dont know why except sporstbetting Cheesy. I agree it requires knowledge , time and a lot of patience out it also you should check the chart always to know what is the happenings on the altcoin you've bbuying or selling. But at first it is difficult but in the following yyou will earn a lot Cheesy
You should stick to whatever venture that gives you money, usually if a certain thing gives us money we enjoy doing it. Gambling is good because it can give you temporary happiness so I think if we can do it the right way we should gamble and invest at the same time.
1083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a good idea to bet against Clinton to become president on: September 25, 2016, 02:10:09 AM
Betting for that election is risky as no one know that what results come for the US elections for presidency. We have to wait for the election to come more near but still it is unpredictable even after the survey.
Every sport/political even it risky bet. Remember when bookies were sure that Brexit won't happen? Odds before that event were amazing for Brexit opponents.
And yet British people decided to leave European Union. I remember someone posted how he made a bet for Brexit and won big - I think this time with US presidential election could be the same.
Exactly, and logic here is more people are betting on clinton to win in the US election while the underdog here is opponent, I have seen this many time in my gambling career, when there are more actions in one side, normally the other side will win and that is the underdog. I find a good value on the underdog so I would be against Clinton.
1084  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: September 25, 2016, 02:05:59 AM
At the current state, I think it's now easier to build a time machine, to go back in 2009, rather than hoping to become a millionaire buying BTC at this time.
well everything is possible to be honest, also if you built a time machine you wouldnt need to use it because you would be rich

All of that makes no sense, time machine is a machine that is only used to give motivation to the scientists or professors to further in recognizing various event or something that exists in the world. So if time machine will never exist and it will only happen when there is someone that is sent by God to deliver the complete help
If you think of time machine, you will never be rich because instead of thinking for the future and focus on the present you give more time to past events that cannot be change anymore, we should be more realistic so our approach in becoming rich are more holistic.
1085  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: September 25, 2016, 02:02:22 AM
Probably no because work is my daily life. It is the soul of the society in which you need to face some men and women to grow your personality in the industry you place. Bonding with your friends and co-workers makes you feel better than isolating to the other person. Therefore socialism is acquired to your life.

That's a good point as well, it can be boring sometimes just to earn money with bitcoin and spend all the time at home without having any talks or times with friends or some co-workers which you get from a day job, so that can be considered a disadvantage of being full time bitcoin.

The ultimate goal should be to earn descent money, people will respect you only if you have enough money in your wallet, either you earn it from job or business or with bitcoins, no big deal.
thats true, though i doubt that bitcoins can actually help you i would just get an ordinary job and thats it
No mate, you don't get the logic here, we are working to earn bitcoins here but with discipline to save bitcoins in the near future when bitcoins continued to succeed the market will be bigger and the price will grow, that is when we will rip the fruits of our labor, it is a different kind of job here and I call it special because the pay we are receiving increases its value overtime.
1086  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you actively spend your bitcoins? on: September 25, 2016, 01:56:41 AM
Not at all because I used my bitcoin in online investment sites to grow my coin. I also used my bitcoin through the trading site to buy stacks and sell it in the near future to get profit for it. I also bet my bitcoin through the gamble site to also grow my coins. Bitcoin is business money making income. Thats it.
That's a good move if you will ask me, we should learn to discipline ourselves in saving than spending our money in useless thinks. With saving or using our bitcoin in a more productive way, we can expect more profit in the future and it could help us achieve our dreams.


Yup its better not to spend them on useless things, instead it should be saved for the future as bitcoins will be more valuable in future holding very good  price allowing us to make good money from  it.
yeah, you can benefit a lot from bitcoins and it would be dumb to sell it or use it up right now, though thats just my opinion
So you are saying that we will never spend our bitcoins? IMO, that would the help the economy to grow, we need to have bitcoins in circulation increased because that is the only way we will earn money from our investment, it is fine to hold but do hold everything and learn to spend sometimes.

All your prediction is good and I think they will all go to the playoffs, the question now is, who is going to face the cavaliers in the east finals, it was already given that the cavaliers will be able to advance easily.

Well I can't give you an accurate prediction to that as some of the teams I mentioned will surely have a new gameplay e.g. Knicks, Bulls.



Another aged player will be back on the lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers and that is the former Ron Artest, Metta World Peace.

Looks like Lakers lineup will not be a fully young roster. But anyways a young rosters needs at least a good advices from the veteran one. And I think MWP's playing time will be minimized to give way to those youngsters.
Ron Artest should be given enough minutes to make the game entertaining, I like the way he plays because he is so physical and that makes his teammates to be inspired and will play as hard as they can, they have a lot to prove this season because they cannot make excuses anymore that Kobe just ruin the game.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you consider trading as gambling? on: September 24, 2016, 03:11:23 AM
It's like gambling where you can increase your chances with good informations, but the manipulation from the P&D groups can make it very difficult.
You can expect any manipulation especially when you are trading with a low volume coins, that should be part of the factors that you should consider as a trader for you to be able to do your job well and to be a successful trader.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: September 24, 2016, 03:03:18 AM
I think the logical answer would be to invest. But investing can also be quite risky, you need good parameters
and research when choosing the investment.
Yes it is risky but compared to gambling it's better, well research could be tedious but in the end if you make large profit it sure will pay off.
Everything that requires money to make money are a risky thing, we should not only focus on the money alone but also we have to evaluate our capacity to earn to minimize the risk and maximize our profit, we know it because it is ourselves who will do the action to venture so we feel that it is not our line of expertise we should not focus on that.

Wow, this is a good opportunity for us all here, I think the pay is really good and on a monthly basis. I think I want to try my luck to participate on the job. Hey OP! I am interested, can you include me on the list of applicants? Sending you PM now.
1091  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: September 24, 2016, 02:52:17 AM
Many people pick both bitcoin and gold, and me too. Both are good and why not pick both if you can pick both. Using bitcoin for investment and currency, for gold, using gold for long term investment, good combination right.
Both are really good, but let us be realistic here, majority of us here does not have the capacity to invest in gold because we are not born rich and that's why we are here because we are hoping that bitcoin can give us fortune, so in short we are only capable on investing with bitcoin.
1092  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: September 24, 2016, 02:45:51 AM
If you are trading you should trading as a business any outside this don't work. Don't trading more than ten percent of you capital and since is business don't expect to make profit all time. Keep you eye on your emotion.


10% is what I consider to be quite a low amount for trading purposes. I personally have like 50% of my total wealth in Bitcoin, from which I use 25% for trading purposes, and the other 25% is meant for holding only. Every percentage of profit that I can make per month is more than welcome as I mainly focus on how much I have made after exactly a year period.
That depends on how much the exact amount equivalent to 10% of your total wealth, if you are holding millions or billions then that should be a big amount already for trading, you could have established a big business with that money and will guarantee you profit.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: September 24, 2016, 02:35:49 AM
Gambling is like medicine that we need to take everyday gambling can be addicted if we are going to play it everyday and we gonna lost profit or money or bitcoin there too gambling can't make us rich by betting and loosing money instead of holding that money for purposes in life and buy some thing.
It is never a medicine, it is like a drugs that we are looking for it all the time because we are addicted with it but never a medicine because it can never cure our disease in gambling,  it will only give us a future problem if we will not be able to control ourselves.
How can you say gambling is a like a drugs? are you taking it ? of course not were just playing it and we lossing our money because of gambling wasting money without nothing to have? well thats not right if you people don't want to lose money then stop playing gambling , it may wreck your life sooner
Do not take that literally, drugs and gambling has an effect of addition and that has been there similarity. We need to understand that when we are first in gambling we tried it because we want to know why others are enjoying it, the same thing with drugs until you get addicted.

Please tell me no-one has fallen for this scam... it's so blatantly fraudulent, and has been this way for many, many months. Why isn't this thread deleted already? It's just getting bumped and bumped.

We must cover our losses from scrptcc.

If those new investors who are not aware of the history of scrypt.cc they will fall victim of this scam, I was already victimized in the past so I do not want to happen that to newbies, they should close this thread because this does not help in any possible way.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: September 24, 2016, 02:17:25 AM
Just curious since the last discussion I had was about gambling vs trading. I know trading can seem to be a bit of a gamble as well, but I see it a little bit like poker. It's a combination of math and psychology. Maybe not the same ratio though, just generalizing  Tongue
Im never considered that trading is a gambling also . But trading vs. gambling i will probably choose the trading even i can earn cents of bitcoin there and in gambling you could earn more profit there double or triple your bitcoin but not in the way of 100% of course there are chance that you could lose everything
That is an obvious answer for everyone, trading is more on the serious people who want to make money in the long term, gambling is just for fun and you cannot ensure you will make money because the odds always favors the house, they control the game while you are in control when trading.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what fun in GAMBLING? on: September 24, 2016, 02:10:38 AM
the fun in gambling is losing money...Sad but if you win thats better:)
Gambling not be fun if we our wasting our money in gambling website but just other people said that the gambling brings fun to them when you are controling your selves to play it for me gambling is just for luck to win the profit and not for fun because if we lose we are hopeless and never played again.
That is true, no one will be happy if they are just wasting their money in gambling and those who waste are those who cannot afford to gamble. However, if we are having a good feeling and we are enjoying in gambling though we are losing then I would say it cannot be considered as wasting your money.
1097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: September 24, 2016, 01:52:29 AM
I play gambling with free money, so when I get a big win that could help my life. but the fact is I've been getting a big win and yes a little help life.
Sometimes free money keep us  on winning but if we deposited some of our money it will lose and it will not going back anymore Tongue it is not possible that gambling can make our life easier now but for me playing is not enough reason to stand up in poor
I do not think that gambling can help life, but if you do it with caution and always lucky, maybe you really can do it. but it will be very difficult because you have to be experts in terms of predicting, and perhaps you also have to be patient, because if you can not control yourself, it will all be over by making all your money runs out
It can help life because of gambling you could easily lose your money and that helps our economy to grow we our losing money for the sake of others hahaha but if can figure it out it continuesly wreck our life and it will not help our life of course this is non sense
Well, on that matter we should just save our bitcoins, let the others do the losing because that is their decision to have fun and I see no reason to that we should not appreciate them, they are making the bitcoin economy getting stronger due to the blooming gambling industry.
1098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: September 23, 2016, 07:56:59 AM
no i do not thing so that to consider gambling as sickness, i think gambling is not sickness but a good way of refreshment and  making fun. but it is also a fact that if you are playing gambling for making money and you have no proper  strategy for your gambling, then iti s really sickness.

We have to admit it to ourselves, when we gamble, we are not there to donate our money to the house, but we are there to win, therefore we are after money making... It's normal to think like that, but to consider gambling as "fun" and "entertainment" that's not really true...If you keep on betting knowing that you are not winning, then you are really sick...

You could sleep if you want refreshment, or you could spend your money to treat your friends and be happy, than wasting it in gambling...   Smiley
Well, honestly that is most of the gamblers aim in gambling, we love to win and enjoy at the same time, but gambling is really not like that. It was created to give us entertainment and the for the house to be able to make a profit, imagine how their expenses for the promotion and maintenance of the site if they are not profitable, we should accept that we will just lose and any win is just temporary.
1099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: September 23, 2016, 07:48:41 AM
Gambling may be good for some people IMHO never found such people but many people here claim to do so. I personally feel that gambling is worng and an individual should not get addicted to it. Most people lose more than what they win at gambling because they are plain greedy and the house edge catches them before they can cash out.

Gambling is  good only for  entertainment purposes which you treat your self sometimes with leisure after a long day of hard work or any thing that you do but  its not advisable to play long enough and  staying on it for how many hours, just like what you said house edge do catch them before they cash out which is very true when you are playing gambling.  Gambling would  be wrong if you are already got addicted into it  and  you are already compromising your money and your family.
I agree with your statement because the longer we play gambling the more we are prone to being addicted, and we know how addicted gamblers react, they cannot think straight anymore because in their mind it is only gambling that they want and they forget already that we need to live a balance life to be happy, when you are addicted, you spend to much in gambling than other productive activities.

Trading actually involves a  deep study before you invest  your money or put your possession  in it. So for those people who just  listen to one or two articles, and then go  straight into trading for that stocks,  would be more like gambling.
good observation mate there's a lots of things that we need to consider first before we enter trading or else we are just leaning to our luck
just like doing some gamble, if you are ready and you got skills earning would be always at your side.
One thing I am sure of is that if you will treat trading like a gambling you will not be able to succeed, this is a very difficult job if you want to succeed but if you think this is just a game, it is just easy. My advise to everyone who wants to start trading is they need to read all the basics first then start trading with a small amount.
