That's normal, you can't expect anyone who is in their straight way of life to tell you that gambling is just fine. Even those things that they don't know, they consider it as a bad habit or a wrong doing. You need more time so you could convince them that you are doing just fine in trading, but I doubt if you could convince them that gambling is good and that you are just fine.

But if you are sure that your gambling habit is not bad, then don't be ashame about it.

I don't get the whole meaning of your statement but that's true, some gamblers stops when their bankroll is empty already or if they are already having a problem financially. But some stops just before everything like that happen, in short they listen and look at how others do their gambling activity and follow the same rule.

But that is already a delusion to wait that long to reach 1000 bitcoin before stopping, that is almost impossible to achieve in gambling. 

It will be in the far away future. I am okay with the bitcoin's position right now, as long as it is being accepted as money or we can use it, it's good. Dreaming too much that it will become the future of money and replace every money existing in this world, that is too much. Becoming mainstreams is good enough, I could not ask for more. 

I hope that your dream come true. But as of now, I look at it as a delusion. Bitcoin cannot just replace fiat for no reason and even for decade. As long as it is being patronized by government and countries, the printing of it will not stop. It needs a strong power to stop it and probably bitcoin is not that strong to replace it. Just remember that bitcoin if all being mined, it will only be few parts of the whole economy and not even noticeable.

Not true. Love life might change you for a while, but that doesn't mean that you have to be a different person when you are in a relationshit. If you do that, probably you are lying to your partner that you are ready to quit for her/him. Quitting and everything about your self is your problem and not your partners problem anymore. Besides, how will you find a lovelife if you can't even quit gambling, for sure you have no time for love. 

Well, feeling in gambling is usually not a good basis that your bet is going to win. Usually gambling is not based on those odds or good predictions, though they may win, but not all the time the predictions would really came true. Luck always play a factor in winning. There are teams that usually not expected to win, but guess what, they sometimes win. 

You are lucky if your friends are like that.  I don't see friends like that most of the time. They often leave if they see you in bad shape. But unless you help them and you lend them money or you keep your money in their bank account. But anyway, I still prefer loans compared to borrowing on friends and relatives. Atleast with loan, I don't have to think about whom I borrow it and just pay it then I'm done, no need to do return the favor. 

So where country you are from? let me guess, Philippines, election was just months ago, so I think you are also from here. I could say that our economy isn't that bad even before this administration. leaders isn't that horrible either. Jobs are everywhere, only that, some people apply for the wrong job, and sometimes the most common courses in college doesn't meet the requirement of the job after they graduate. Plenty of jobs are here, but few people could handle it since it is not the common jobs or the jobs we want. 

Whatever strategy you use to make local merchants like bitcoin, it won't work if they are not interested in it. If you force it, probably  you would look suspicious to them. It would be nice to just let them naturally know bitcoin. Introduce it to everyone but never expect that they will all like bitcoin. The best thing is you did what you think could make them like bitcoin. 

No, that's not true. Everyone can quit when they say they want to, when we say we stop, we stop. Other gamblers don't come back because they love the feel of it, but because they see money in it. Curiosity alone isn't a good reason to come back to gambling, But curiosity on how fast you can win or how big you can win could really make you come back to gambling.

That means, gambling is either a business and a investment. That's how it is, it's not just a game, it needs money so the game would function as what it is supposed to be, and when we invest money in gambling, it is already investment and since we invested, we want to earn from that and that means it is already a business. Considering gambling just a game I think would just make you deposit money and lose it without a purpose.

Actually even without prediction from others, by just watching their games, you could have an idea who with the two has the greater chance to win in the game. Sports betting is still gambling and that means, even without knowledge, just by luck you could have a chance to win. But all of it would just end in losing in the long run, that's how gambling works, you win today and you will lose few bets after. 

So, are they after the fun or money? I am sure it's not fun that they are looking for there. I can't imagine sitting the whole day or even for 6 hours in front of my computer and just betting and putting my money to it. I will just make the gambling site rich with that.  It is not the right way to make a living and definitely not a way to find the fun.

It's ridiculous. The result of your act ( gambling ) might be very important, probably a meal for the family, why gamble it if you can find a job to make money. 

Most quick money making way is usually against the christian ethics or whatever. The thing is, if you always consider your religion when you are in need, for sure you will end up just praying without finding solution to your need. But of course, there are ways too that are good, like loans, too bad that it needs a collateral, but it's quick. selling your goods too is not violating anything. but making money out of selling your blood or things like that is I think against the ethics.

Nope, I don't see it like that. Gambling result in the long run is always losing. When I say losing, it's not just money that you lose here, it includes your time that's probably been useful when you dedicate it to useful acts. Same as in money, in the long run, you may win few times, yes, that's true, but if you total it all, your wins and your lose, probably your lose is more compared to wins.

Quitting gambling depends on your will. If you are not willing to quit and just keep on saying that you want to quit, then nothing will happen. But if you say that you will quit and you start doing it the best that you can, then sooner or later you are already free from gambling. You do not need to do any heroic act or charity acts to quit. Gambling is not that difficult to quit that you need to change your self just to remove gambling from your body. 

Well, if a woman wants to buy a house for her own for the sake of freedom, then why not. Besides, when something goes wrong when you are married the house goes to the woman often. That's true, if you have enough, then cash out only 90% or less, and find a reasonable house price. But for sure, if it is cheap, there are also disadvantage of buying it, probably a cheap one might be on flood prone areas or far from main road or situations like that. 

That's not true. Bitcoin's price is not dependent on your economy or anyone's economy, it's price rise and down has nothing to do with your economy. Actually you should be happy when the value of your currency go down a bit, that means the value of your bitcoin is higher.

Well, I have no doubt about that, you defend your answer very nice.   That's true, you need to caught them in the act in order for you to really hav ea solid case against a corrupt politician/ department heads. And that's true even after your term as a government official no one ever remembers you. Unless the one who bribes you make a noise to re surface you and your hidden wealth.

Maybe the ones that will benefit from that bribe are the children, and not the actual person who committed it. Just like how politicians did it, after being thrown out by the people, no wealth is found, and the children turns out to be wealthy later on.

I look at it the other way. They value money a lot, and that is the reason why they keep on searching on ways to make more of it. That is why they take risks. A very small chance is enough motivation to kindle gambler's desire to win. Usually that very small chance is what keeps you betting if you are just a newbie to gambling and later on the wins and loses.
