1481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: August 02, 2016, 08:05:11 AM
Not severe? lol. Gambling addiction would  give you a miserable  life  when the time comes  that you dont have a single penny to spent. You even  sold your house to someone  just  to have money to play as  also others said that it might   be a cause  that your family would leave you. That thing  is not severe to you? Why you are comparing to other addictions? Put in mind that  everything is abused might lead to things that  you wouldnt expect to happen.

Everyone knows that gambling is a bad habit and every suggest not to do it in any cost if you are planning to earn money through it.
And addiction is something that never let us stop doing something, even if we know that can lead us to destruction, it is the same case in gambling as well, one obviously knows that gambling can lead him to destruction but he still gambles just because he is addicted to it.
I think gambling is just a game that has an effect like the other games, but many people say that gambling is a game that is better, because it makes a person becomes excited. Well, I guess gambling can not be regarded as sickness, but I guess gambling has an effect that makes people addicted, like drugs
if you do gambling excessively mean you gamble overplay causing something around you turn bad , i think gambling are really can considered as a sickness , like if gamble can make someone frustated and crazy.

but gamble should not considered as a sickness as long as you are fine , nothing changed around you.
Excessive gambling is already a sickness because in the first place, gambling should not be played that way. Gambling is just for fun so it means you only play it during your spare time or occasionally, it is more fun if you will not focus on how much you can win as you will enjoy more the game without much worries about your bets.

i can easily name 10-15 or even 20 players who deserve a contract like that more than him
and nowadays because of all social media, tmz, etc. we (general public) also know if something bad happens off the court.


The media makes alot of hype for certain player and that makes them overrated although that they have only a decent performance. This is one way of getting popularity and get yourself a great contract otherwise you wont really get it just by playing great on the court everytime ( wait , you can be good on the court ALL the time though )

You are especially social media in which people or then fans of that certain player show some of its highlights it allows the palywr to become more popular and gain fans which i think leads the management to see and know it. The tendency then is that dince they saw how good the player is because of the highlights the will get it
Player highlights alone can't get you too far if that is the only thing you can show for. The management isn't that stupid too rely on just video clips and signing a player because he is hyped by social media. That assumption is rather flawed since we all know that the best players are those who work the hardest and make their game speak for it.

Well i haven't said that  players highlight alone can get you too far, i have only said that it would be a great boost for them as they become more popular and when management means business having a lots of fans will surely be considered. We cant deny the fact that everything also comes to business, no matter how good you are but when you were left behind of the competition you surely eithier get a slot
NBA is an entertainment so they would value more on the entertainment than the real competition, some games are intentionally rigged in order for the fans to witness a close games and that would make them feel the thrill and will get the worth of their money, that is NBA and player with so much publicity will be more popular and will help the NBA to stay profitable.

Anyone help me please?
I'm newbie...!

Everyone of us will gonna say signature campaign is only of the ways on how to earn bitcoin here at bitcointalk.
You can find also some jobs or work in the services section where you can be paid by bitcoin.

Indeed,since signature campaigns would be the easiest and risk free in gaining Bitcoin, it doesn't require any special skills to join. You are right there are many ways to earn Bitcoin in this forum you can search to services section there are lost of jobs, freebies, giveaways. As we all know we don't have all the skills that are required there.
You can join signature campaign as this is the risk free and easiest way to obtain free bitcoin. If you have more skill and experience then you can try other methods.
Definitely, that is easy to do the job especially when you are a bitcoin enthusiast but always follow the rules once you are in. Treat this job like your real job that you are guided by the rules and regulation of a certain company.
1485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your gambling stats? (Profit/Loss) on: August 01, 2016, 02:07:56 AM
my gambling stats if profit +0.04 btc
this is on dice game, but i dont calculate on casino games
but i think the stats is profit but not too much
Nope, you are doing great man, maybe you are too lucky because as they say the house edge will kill you in dice games, and I believe that maybe true but if you are playing just for fun the luck is on your side most of the time.

Maybe you should also try sports betting, I just won yesterday and currently still my stats are at negative(loss).
1486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 01, 2016, 02:01:22 AM
I can earn much money on gambling and also lose much money with gambling though, but the problem is i don't have big bankroll, so i can't earn much money.
If you can guarantee you can easily make a way to have a decent bankroll. That is not a problem in my case if I have the same talent you had, and I will make sure I will be rich in gambling using the skills. Maybe you can share it here too.
1487  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: August 01, 2016, 01:52:45 AM
Are you inspired by those bitcoin millionaires? Are you thinking of filing a resignation letter on your day job (if you have any) and focus on bitcoin instead?

Me? I do have a day job and I consider bitcoin as my side job. I don't want to lose that another source of income just because bitcoin is awesome.
If me, I answer no because bitcoin is only a part time, you cannot go full time with this kind of service, its much better if you have a decent work in real world not just like here in the internet.
That's for you maybe you are just having a low paying job here in the forum, I presume you are referring to a job like signature campaign, of course you cannot quit your job just to do some siggy campaign as that would not be enough in terms of income to use in your daily expenses.
1488  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: August 01, 2016, 01:45:07 AM
Definitely Invest in bonds,stocks or bitcoin. But don't forget to save some money for bad days. If you have like $100 remaining from your paycheck invest half of it and put the rest on a safe bank account.

$100 could not be enough to cater your daily expenses to survive so how could you still save and invest with that amount? I think you should think of doing another job to aid your low income before you thing of savings and investment in the future.

A half of $100 would be $50 and i dont think that is a reasonable amount to start trading with or investing anywhere, because in trading or investing it depends on your capital if how much you will earn on a daily basis, the less your capital is the less profits you will get.

your right in some other point but for the fact 50$ is bit high enough to start tradings and that is good amount to deal with those altcoin whos been moving a lot on those exchanger's and the bad thing really there is if you decided your 50$ on unknown investment things because you can lose money with that scheme but in tradings? Any amouny would be pleasurable and can earn according to your strat and patience.
Having a limited amount of money for investment and trading will make you more cautious on your investment as you will take care even the last centavo of your money, if you can grow you small amount of money then you have a change to manage a large amount of money also.

Bold - what are you talking about? somebody who is consistent and plays well or great will ALWAYS earned a good/decent contract no matter if he is popular off the court or not.
Duncan is your perfect example - there were never stories about Duncan off the court, he was probably the most boring person for the media to talk to, BUT he performed on the court and is the greatest PF ever!

Conley
- never been an All Star
- averaged of 15.3 points, 6.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game  (is that WORTH THE BIGGEST CONTRACT EVER?!)
- and he will never be able to carry the team in the playoffs. EVER! - meaning - Conley cannot beat you alone, simply cannot - i.e. Curry can, Lillard can

Conley were able to carry his team in the playoffs especially when the squad are healthy. I just hope that Conley will be more inspired to play this season and give his best to commensurate the organization of the amount he is currently earning.
1490  Economy / Economics / Re: Loans too risky? on: August 01, 2016, 01:35:43 AM
I have lent some money to HaoBTC. The interest rate is about 8%. It is not high, but I get some income.
thats a really big profit to be honest though i dont like lending my money because i think it might be not safe at all and i dont like risking my money
yeah he might lose all the money he loaned out, the person might just steal it, besides that it depends on how long is the sum loaned out for
If you are giving loan after all inquiry then its not easy to lost money because already many members doing this and have very good profit just case is done with care and proper work
Actually the rates are so profitable the only risk is that if the borrower cannot pay their loans you will be automatically at loss, if lending your money you should also diversify it with number of clients, your concern should be the volume not the amount.
1491  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin continuous rising? on: August 01, 2016, 01:18:50 AM
Bitcoin has been rising up this past few weeks and continue to rise, what do you think?
will bitcoin continue to rise at the end of the month or it will have a sudden drop?
No one knows what will happen to bitcoin for this year but most of us here want the price to go up more,but I don't know how it will happen we just wait and see what is going to happen soon I'll hold my coin now .

The price will definitely go up further in the near future. Most of the bitcoin investors won't sell their bitcoins at a price of 650-700$. It is just more attractive to hold them.

I believe the price will be trading between $640 to 680 in the next few weeks, then it will rise to $720.

Nah dude, the price of bitcoin $624,00 right now and can decrease again. I think the price of bitcoin will not rise to $720 for the next 1-2 months.
Yeah, I see that the price is decreaseing, you know what? You should buy now, see that as an opportunity to earn in short term investment as I am too confident that the price will back up in few days.
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: July 31, 2016, 07:06:38 AM
i saw a lot of person  who won gambling and they may think that they are mature enough because they defeated the bank roll of the casino .  But in the end they will end up spending it recklessly then they maybe consider as a one day millionaire. Unlike if you gain money from hard work in which you are not going to spend it without even thinking.

Yeah. Just look at the large number of lottery winners who ended up broke 5 years later. Money doesn't solve all your problems. You need to solve them yourself.
I don't see any large number of lottery winners because the large number belongs to the losing side.Anyway, if you are lucky and you win in lottery it still depends on the person on how he will spend his winnings if it is for his life improve then good but if it is to gamble then surely he will lose it in the end.
1493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: July 31, 2016, 06:58:41 AM
Well definitely! Especially when im rich because that means I have more to spare than having just enough. I think gambling mostly is for rich people Smiley

That's not true, gambling is not just  for rich, actually a poorer person have a intense betting, they are thinking that it will be their passport to making easy money..  A rich who gambles are having bad luck with their business and if they have a badluck in their business, for sure, the next thing to happen they'll also have a bad affair with their family..  Smiley

i like this word, and i know few person, that is my friend, they do gambling for over a years ago, especially on poker on fb games. although for first time they only use the free chips, but from time to time, they learn about how to win poker, and i see with my eyes, how they win easily on that table. first they only win a small amount of chips, but later, they've got expert, they win huge poker chips, and you know what? my friends selling their chips to get real money, and now my friend have a business offline in three places and he is retired from gambling at all. he said, my life is from gambling, and now i have money to start my offline live. gambling is my past, and i have a future in my life.
He earn from gambling because he is good, and that is true that we will have a chance in gambling if we are playing a skilled base game and poker is one of them, I envy your friend because he has that skills that majority are dreaming to have.
1494  Economy / Economics / Re: How good are you at managing your money on: July 31, 2016, 06:52:19 AM
not so good at all, just from this side I earn and lose to that side. Smiley
I think if you want to save and not suffer losses or losses you should avoid things like gambling or investment scam. I avoid gambling and I'm just
getting bitcoin from a safe method alone. and after that I did not get any defeat. because I was not close to anything risky

Yes, it is true . if we are not people who take bold decisions so take a safe investment. Do not bet your money on things that are uncertain. save some of the money we have for our capital in the future.
Saving for future investment is really advisable because by investing that is our chance to have a comfortable life, we should all aim for that as some people become rich because of investment. We manage our money because we don't want to have problem in the future and be desperate so save now.
1495  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: July 31, 2016, 06:47:05 AM
Just recently got into BTC; I have 2.5 saved up.
Plan on taking 25% of each of my paychecks and accumulating and seeing what will happen in 2017 or later in the year.

Thoughts? Ideas? Speculation? Advice? Tips?

 Huh

i just started to love bitcoins so i have only 0.1 BTC at this moment, but  i plan to rise that in near future for sure,  i wait for price to fall down a bit so i could buy some bitcoins

If you are waiting for the price of bitcoin to fall down then you are wasting your time, as the price of bitcoin will now increase more higher as I heard from this forum, the price is already at a good stage, anyone who ant to buy should have to buy it now and they will see a bigger profit in the coming months.
I do see it happening the price will go down again, maybe even upto 550 dollars, which is why I am holding at the moment.
If the price go down I make sure to by more again.
It could always happen bro but with a little chances now, we are due for another increase because the halving has took place already and anytime from now we can see an abrupt price increase.
1496  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: July 31, 2016, 06:44:01 AM
Like any currency volatility will reduce. Bitcoin price won't just go up. When people start to sell, it Wil crash
It will only reduce when massive adoption will happen and the distribution of bitcoins will be equal and not only controlled by the whales in the industry, and I believe it will happen in due time as we are increase in numbers already.

Masamang balita kasi hindi na tatanggap si yobit ng bagong members so mahihirapan na yung maraming alts dito. Dati sa yobit ayos lang pero parang nagbawas na ata sila ng budget sa signature campaign nila.
1498  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing Bitcoins? on: July 31, 2016, 06:32:21 AM
I don't relly know good shere where i can invest my coins, trading for me is much better in this case. Need to be very experienced to make good investments.
I think if you do not much like an investment that gives you risk losing. I think you just need to hold your bitcoin wallet. I think it includes investing in bitcoin. with very little risk. but there are certainly problems at a time advantage. maybe you will not know when you will profit. because it depends on the price increase


That is the simplest form of investment so far, you don't need to exert much effort with that kind of method. All you need to do is just buy bitcoins and save it in your wallet and be optimistic that the price will rise in the future.
1499  Other / Off-topic / Re: Any safe way to grow my bitcoins ? on: July 31, 2016, 06:24:24 AM
there is no safe way to grow your bitcoin, because they all have risks.
but you stay focused on the signature campaign, if you want to be safe without risk.

yeah. I agree. whatever investment you do will have risk. you can't invest with no risk 100%. growing bitcoin is not that easy.

and I think signature campaign also has risk, for instance : when you post off-topic you don't realize, sometimes you will be banned and some signature campaigns will kick out member who are banned; etc.
But less risky my friend, signature campaign is just a way to help us learn in the forum and read some relevant information, if we have something to share then we can do that and the best thing is we are paid when doing it.
1500  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: July 31, 2016, 06:19:44 AM
depends on price in 20 year for start maybe 1 btc goes to price of 1 million or just 1 cent. but let say i will go retire when i collect 50000 btc, it's enough for me. Roll Eyes

50000 bitcoins  Shocked its really a huge amount ! so you want to be a millionaire while retire ? 50000 btc will be more then 32 million $ as of the price of now but  Shocked Shocked after 30 year price it will be a ton, good luck for that bro !
Lol I thought it was a target that does not make sense come on use rational plan and it is possible to do or you can do. may still make sense if you have a target of at least 1000 BTC. it was very likely done by approximating 50 BTC annually. but I'm sure you had to work hard to get it


If you have a lot of money you can easily buy a lot of bitcoins but if you are just working for bitcoin I am even skeptical if we can have at least 50 BTC in a year, that is hard to to by working alone. In my case, my target is just 1 BTC per month and so far I have made it but I need to risk through trading.
