As I have said to someone, it may be a good idea, looking through a long-term perspective.
Anytime you invest your money into bitcoin and hold it for future , that's good because bitcoin is long-term project and the price is going up.
But you must have patience to do this , as you don't know when to reach the highest price on the future.
That's true and by doing that you are guaranteed of your future as bitcoin will succeed, people have doubts in bitcoin but that is normal as not all are good in investing but we should believe to succeed.
Our confidence in a certain project is what makes us invest, since we are believing that bitcoin will be a mainstream currency in the future we are putting our share now to help it boost its progress and the end result will be a price increase that would give as a good profit once we cash out.

Sometimes experts can't help you and you have to help yourself, there is no other way to do it but to do it yourself, otherwise you never make a real change. You cant depend from external input, it has to come from within to make a real permanent change.

The desire should first come from the addicted person. Without it, no one can force change. But if the person really desire to get away from gambling, friends, family and professionals can make a big difference if they help that person. It is hard to change if you just do it yourself, but with help of people around you, it will be a lot easier.

Yeah, it's the main thing in this case is the desire of the addict to get out of gambling, if it already exists then we should examine it if they really want to get out of gambling (addiction). then if that happens then we will be very easy to do something to get out of gambling. After that we should be able to forget all the things about gambling
The thing is an addict person has only one desire which the desire to gamble, it is very bad for him if he cannot get any help from his close friends or his family to help him change and quit gambling completely because I see that is the only way he can completely quit gambling for good.

So for those people, hodling their money in the pocket would be the best way when inflation in not going like crazy. Putting money to the bank and gambling are pretty much the same then.

Actually putting your money in banks is a kind of gambling because in some countries they are not obliged to guarantee you any return, and you need to be satisfied with only recovering your devaluated money at the end of some period of time.
The gambling is not suitable techniques and strategies. Even the concept of luck is not gambling. If time does not stop what no methods will not help you. And really, no one to share with their secrets.
There are people who are willing to share their techniques to the public but for sure that method won't work because a technique that is working is not worth sharing for, I have been looking for that technique myself but until now I have found one.

On the other hand, do you guys have news with JR Smith? Last time I heard he still doesn't have a contract. At this point I'm not sure if the Cavs would go for him again.

He said he doesn't want to answer about his free agency status to the media, and he also said that he has some issues about that.
This is just a thrilling situation for the cavaliers and JR Smith but I know cavaliers will retain him, he is a good shooter and too much confidence which is necessary for a champion team. I know he could still improve his defense and focus his game when he will be given the amount due to him like a bigger contract.
1345  Economy / Economics / Re: When do you buy Bitcoin ? on: August 21, 2016, 01:47:36 AM
At the end of the month when I get paid, the first thing I think about is buying more Bitcoin. Nothing feels better than seeing your wallet grow. This has helped me to stop spending my money on stupid shit like alcohol.
We must always put the goal for yourself. But the goal should be such that upon reaching it you feel fun and understand that this is what you needed. If you get rid of alcohol addiction as it is a huge plus and it is commendable and worth it.
Converting you negative activities to positive activities has always been good as it reflects into your life positively. I like what you do because instead of making more expenses in a month you are converting the expenses into the income generating activities which is investing in bitcoin.
1346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 20, 2016, 06:15:45 AM
Its depends on situation or scenario for example you are 3rd class in the society  and you win a jackpot in a lotto and the jackpot prize is 10million dollars its change your life but if your addict in gambling and lose anything in gambling your wreck your life.
Yeah thats true, it really depends on a situation, if a person doesn't know how to control their money on their game, and they didn't stop until their money is totally gone then thats the time gambling really will wreck your life.
It has always been the situation for the irresponsible gamblers, they tend to gamble most of the time and they cannot control themselves even in the winning situation so in the long run losing will always happen.
Yeah this is really happening, not for all gamblers but some of gamblers this happens. Some gambler don't know how to handle money even if they have lots of money they become loser in the end if they don't have self-control.
I have to confess that I am one of the gamblers who lose in the end due to some lack of self control and discipline in gambling. But that was before and I have learned from my lessons which I would say the most important thing to do as a gambler so we can still enjoy gambling.
1347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 20, 2016, 06:12:01 AM
you can earn unlimited earn or unlimited lost in gamble is everyday
realistic is good profit 100% every month is very good profit
You can earn money with a free satoshies in some site and you can use them to play gambling. But of course that is not as big as you expected. You can just earn here free satoshies and if you don't want to gamble it much better, you can just save it and earn to make it big without making a deposit of your real money.
You are just wasting your time if you rely on the faucets a gambling site is giving, you can only use that little satoshies to practice a bit before you put your real money to gamble but if you want some real action put a decent amount so you can feel the thrill and excitement in gambling.
1348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 20, 2016, 06:06:11 AM
do below 50 2x times, then above 2x and then repeat.

end in good mode.

when loosing  multiply x2

So you are thinking martingale is safe method for betting, when we go for chase after losing any amount than it could lead to get busted, so that I will do disagree with you for this strategy because that is not good method, but if we are lucky than anybody can make profit with these 100 rolls too.
Martingale would work if you are lucky but still in the long run you will still lose, remember that when a game has a house edge we will still lose no matter how lucky and good we are, maybe in sports betting it would work but impossible in dice in my opinion.
1349  Economy / Economics / Re: How good are you at managing your money on: August 20, 2016, 06:00:51 AM
honestly I was the one who was not good at managing finances. however I feel happy, because I can still manage the expenditure to be less than income. it helps me save a little money to save each month.
well im still not too good at it, to be honest i often lose my money on gambling games, though i get a lot of entertainment playing that
yeah im not good at it at all either, though i never experience any bigger issues because of that, i hope that i will get better in the future
Learning is very important as savings is the first key to your success, without savings you will have no chance to invest and that saving would prove if you can discipline your self to save base on the amount of your desired, if you can do that, you have a good chance to succeed.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 20, 2016, 05:41:35 AM

In Sports Betting you have a high percent of winning if you bet on strong teams , most of the time you will win but the only problem is the odds are low. But if you will be able to win multiple times even with a low odds then you will get rich someday. That is the safest method for me.
and if we love the sport then it will be easier. we predict how the game goes. it would be very nice. hobby once worked.

Yes, and when you bet on one sure winning and you lose, for next sure winning you bet double.. for next sure winning you bet four times more, and when you lose the last sure winning you are already in deep .. problem.. standard scenario..
really hard to make martinfail in sportsbetting mate, much better to play safe the odds is not good enough to recover your loss so if you really wants to take advantage just place a bet with a big chance or a game that you really understand and place a big bet with your team that you are familiar with.

Well if you are going to think about it clearly there is no way to have safe method of gambling. It is always been risky if you are going to gamble.

Even you are going to do that suggestion of strategies for sure you are still going fail and lose your money on it.

So, if you are asking not lose then better not to gamble.
Gambling is really not helping with our financial problem or in our daily needs.
We should treat gambling as a game or an entertainment and not to gain profit.
We will just going to make our life miserable if we are going to rely on gambling.
Gambling is really dangerous if we didn't treat gambling right. If you have a good job stick to it and not just to gamble.
Because sooner of later if you continue gambling you will actually lose money.
Not all the time we can win the game.
I agree that gambling is really for pure fun because it is a very risky venture when you treat this as business on your own. Majority of us here are not reach and we are striving hard to make money but with gambling it will only destroy our focus if we will not be able to do it right.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 20, 2016, 05:32:40 AM
Family is very important every time in situations involving all addictions (or person that addicted person trust most). Thats why in the case of gambling, in my opinion the best solution is to give full control over your finances to a family member or the most trusted person.
But for me if you already have a family, be responsible enough for them, you don't need the help of one of your family member to save money because if your family is really important to you, you are the one who will actually think first for their future.
Especially when you are the head of the family, you will be obliged to do all the possible ways to earn money just to give them a comfortable life. We all dream to give the best to our children but we cannot do that if we do not have a decent income and I would suggest those who are married who has no enough money should not focus in gambling.
1352  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: August 20, 2016, 05:28:36 AM
Of course. Even if it's 1 BTC or 0.01 BTC it does not matter.
Buying bitcoins is an investment itself. We bitcoin-people believe that bitcoin will increase its price and be very successful in the future.

well i think that much difference matter a lot.
if you buy 1 BTC you are holding $570 value coin and whichever side the price goes your money changes a lot with it too (up or down)
but with 0.01BTC you are only holding $5.7 which changes nothing for you whether price goes up or down.
Definitely true, that was just non sense if you are waiting for a long period of time to see the price increase of bitcoin when you only have that kind of little investment, we should be serious in investing bitcoin and put some decent amount to get a decent income.
1353  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: August 20, 2016, 05:25:56 AM
We cannot predict that as we know that bitcoin price has always been changing.  What if after 20 years bitcoin is no longer valuable or existing anymore.  Or what if its price subside and you needed like a thousand bitcoin to ensure your retirement.  But what if we only need just only one bitcoin to secure our retirement. So better to save as much bitcoin as you can have.  Time will tell.
That is the worst thing to happen and I am pretty sure no one wants that to happen but why think of that when we are all expecting to see a good price in the future, for me I am optimistic that the price will rise after 20 years and it could double or triple the current price now.
1354  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: August 20, 2016, 05:20:58 AM
It would be too risky to quit your job but it would be good for you if you would make use of bitcoin too.
Yeah! it is true that quitting our job is too risky as we might not succeed in focusing with bitcoin. Our job provides us a stable and consistent income while in bitcoin we might lose our money, that's the big difference for everyone who wish to go full time with bitcoin.

There are many people who are full time in bitcoin especially the traders who are making good money with it but to get full time on bitcoin you also need high capital to invest at initial stage.
yeah though it is risky to be a trader at the moment, in my opinion they never can earn any steady income unfortunately

Being a trader, yes  you can go full time but the income is not guaranteed for everyday profits. Trading is a good way of source of income but it depends on how you trade the outcome would result in your  trading skills and decision making. Quiting your day job just to go fulltime in bitcoin is a very risky thing to do.
If you aim to have a consistent income in trading you need to have a good amount of capital so you can take advantage of the price fluctuation in a daily basis, even if you are will earn from the little percentage of price fluctuation that would be good to use in your daily expenses. At least if you can earn like $100 a day, that would be good.
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: August 20, 2016, 05:15:19 AM
The Miami Heat might have actually gotten better with D.Wade's departure. They can now start a full rebuild with Hassan Whiteside as the centerpiece. Although Chris Bosh is still with them, nobody's certain whether he'll still be able to play another game in his career. They still have Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson. And also the acquisition of Derrick Williams and Willie Reed could prove to be enough for them to contend for another playoff spot. All that Pat Riley lowballing might actually be good for the franchise.
yes mate those young guns can prove that even their superstar already went out fro their line up they can build a good competitive team those younger players can now show what they really have, i hope to see them back from play off and win for the eastern finals.

I agree with Hassan Whiteside being the centerpiece of the franchise. I expect some major trade for them this coming season. They are not a championship contender with their roster now, maybe they can make playoffs but still its gonna be hard for them this season.
For sure they will not be able to reach to playoffs this season, it was due to the impressive performance of D Wade last season that's why they were able to reach in the playoffs, and without a superstar in the team who can score they will be having a hard time to even maintain a good record.

This will be a chance for some players in Miami especially the bench players and rookies to showcase their talents to become a superstar one day.
I agree, they have all the opportunity to prove themselves this time as wade has already departed to Chicago. I can see Hassan would be the main man in miami and I can see the fans loving him if he continues his monster game.
yes indeed mate rookies are more aggressive to show what they have and to create their names in nba so i guess  heat have some edge from there, good luck miami hope to see more coming from this team cavs will be waiting for you. hehehe
No chance they will reach in the finals to face the cavaliers, they are a rebuilding quite a bit as they miss wade in the line up, maybe this coming season is just an adjustment period for them until they get use of the system.
1356  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: August 20, 2016, 05:02:44 AM
Best investment is the knowledge of how things work. If you intend to invest on stock market, you'd have to have knowledge as to what/which company you are investing. This applies to coins as well. If you invest to a revolutionary coin to which you thought could skyrocket later, then go. but of course like any investment there are risks.

Yes, besides there are many factors to take in mind like to time, market value, risk, etc...
That must be our main focus in investing, study of a certain investment program is necessary to gain the right information because we put our money at risk. Just don't think that every time we invest it is automatic that we will earn profits because that would not go that way all the time.
1357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: August 20, 2016, 04:41:58 AM
gambling never made me cry, because i have a special strategy of gambling, i have a limit for gambling, when i reach to that limit i stop gambling any more for that day, therefore i can say that gambling never made me cry.

By setting limit on your each bet you can control your money overflow though but that is not something special though because there is no special strategy in gambling. All you need yo have is some luck which can lead you to win some of your coin rather than lose it
Setting your limit is what makes you successful in gambling as most of us cries because of lack of self control in gambling, when the amount not intended in gambling will be use in gambling that is the time when we will surely cry when we lose it.
1358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 20, 2016, 04:38:32 AM
Gambling is so addicting because of the excitement you feel when you are betting , The feeling of the mix emotion when you are winning and when you are losing. As long as you have the money to bet you cannot control yourself to bet.

And that excitement grow higher when you win some bets while you are gambling and addiction begins from there, no one gets addicted if they lose at first because after that their interest will die but someone would get addicted if he see some potential of earning and that comes by winning at first.
The thing is most of the gamblers win at first try, and that would be the basis of our interest in gambling. I believe when a person will only know how to control himself in gambling there will no problem for him and addiction is only the outcome of lack of self control and discipline in gambling.
1359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: August 20, 2016, 04:33:44 AM
If lots of people didn't lose in the long run casinoes would go out of business. Think about it. When someone wins a jackpot or a high roll they basically winning the losses of hundreds or thousands of other people. If that happened to much the casino runs out of money so there needs to be a balance. A balance fair enough to keep players happy.
Majority do lose in the long run and that is the reality ever since, gambling business is very profitable that is why the industry are booming. You are only part of the lucky people if you can succeed to win in the long run using your gambling method which I believe could be possible also.
1360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 18, 2016, 06:35:04 AM
Gambling is very addictive for everyone for example you want take and grab a big prize in that type gambling you didn't know you spend all your time to get that prize and you didn't know to that you are enjoying gambling.
What makes people addicted in gambling is when they are betting a game where there chances is big as they will always come back when even if they will lose or win, if we feel we have a bigger chance to win like a game called poker and sports betting, we want to make new method to increase our percentage of winning and we will try if it will work.
