Crypto scams are far from being over and I put the blame of this on investors only. They are the one who blindly invest in scam projects without doing any research and these scams will continue to happen if we are not willing to invest our time and efforts in analyzing the project prior to investing in it.

Shame on you for victim blaming. Haven't you think about it that is the bad people who should be blame for being too lazy to stretch their bones to work, their sweat, and not to scam people? oh well, maybe you're in favor to them.

Let me give you an example, you are walking alone at night in your street, then suddenly someone snatched your phone, I guess you are the one to blame because you walk alone and didn't even think that it is dangerous at night in streets, but no, it is not your fault, you didn't want that to happen because you it is an accident, you didn't see it coming, same for those people who have been scam.
183  Economy / Economics / Re: How do manage portfolio efficiently while having a full time job? on: December 16, 2019, 03:30:13 PM
By having a weekday 9-5 job, i must say my eyes aren't that keen anymore for trends and hardly made any good decision on buying/selling alts. Basically what i did is:

Weekdays: Coinalarm app to observe my portfolio real time but it's far less efficient and responsive to market movement, Slack and Telegram app are linked as well but still is very difficult to process insightful information while in working mood.  

Weekends: More active than usual but time is limited  Undecided

Any opinions or suggestion to improve my current situation?

Thanks in advance and sorry for bad english  Sad

You only need time management, that is the solution for your problem, though it is pretty stressful for me to have that 9-5 shift of yours every weekdays and you're trading in the weekends, you have to decide what is the better opportunity for you, your regular job or your trading cryptocurrency job, if I were you I would focus on Trading (if you earn good at it) and I'm going to keep your job if I were you if you don't know that much in Trading and not interested on learning it.

But let me tell you this, if you have enough savings, go for full time Trading, learn a lot of stuffs and just do freelancing, that way you could manage your time much better and you will earn better too.

Would it really need to involve the family matters when gambling in cryptocurrency?

Not totally involve like you're going to do that, as in involve them in gambling by convincing them to play also, no. Family is going to be involve in their own way, like they are going to stop you from your addiction or in playing gambling because of the risk of it, and that is family for you, and the most cases here is that we play online gambling to hide it from them that we play gambling, that being said, most of the time, it is too late for them to be involve because we are already addicted on playing it.

We all know that being an addicted gambler is a very tough spot in our life, but what if you need to decide what to choose, your addiction or you family? i.e., the given situation will be that you need to decide on the spot if you want to pursue your "career" in gambling or make a good simple life with your family? what will you choose?

Addiction comes in different form, some are addicted to alcohol, some to smoking, some to eating and etc. Addiction only becomes bad when you see your family suffering from your addiction. Therefore first decide what is good for your family and then think whether you addiction is making your family suffer. Then take the right decision.

Yes, but also addictions have different levels, and what I was trying to say is the addiction where a certain person is not sane enough to think about this family, I mean he is too messed up to decide what is best for him or for his family, and in the end, his family will leave him because they can't take him anymore. Most of the addicted gamblers have mental disorder, angry management disorder, and other attitude that is caused by frustrations and depressions, they need help but we can't help them if they are going to reject our help.

Just want to raise the awareness of addiction to prevent others on going too far in gambling.

I don't brag about the big winnings that I have and those big wins that I've got I mostly took it from outside crypto casino, IIRC. It is not my attitude to talk about it especially to the people that you don't know personally. Online, it's okay I guess but you still have to remain calm of bragging it.
...
By talking about your successes, you are showing others that winning is possible. But other people may have different attitudes to your victories: some may rejoice for you, and others envy. And it can spoil your karma.

It is not going to happen that fast, there would be a process before the people where you brag your winnings or the people know about your winnings will betray you. First, they would join you, and try to ask money for you saying that they are at your side, and other things that could convince you to give them money, others will pretend as your friend, and so on, and if you don't allow them to do that, they will start to envy you.

The following steps that they will make is their dark plan to steal money from you, either they will force you to give it to them or they are going to rob your house secretly.

I would be upset, annoyed, mad, and I'm going to be mad at everyone who will talk to me that day when that's going to happen to me, let's just say, because that is my only chance of winning so big yet the results disappoints me, however, on the other side, it is my fault for not reading the rules, therefore I think I should put the blame on myself for getting to excited to bet and missed the important part of the house, and that is to know the rules first and agree to their terms.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: December 15, 2019, 12:51:37 PM
It shall never be played with intentions of making money because easily earn money goes easily.

Well, that is tough, imagine you're pretending that you have no intentions of making money but you are playing gambling, and it's not like the house could see through your mind, so what is the point, right?

That's not the main problem, the problem is how can you make easy money in gambling, and the problem with us is that we assume gambling gives easy money where in fact we are the ones who are giving them easy money, its quite the opposite TBH.

I agree, though that is very lame mindset, thinking that you could make money in gambling and using the word "easy" is so inappropriate when we are talking gambling. In my part, I am not a gambler but of course I already tried playing DICE, after few rolls, we are really going to think it that way, that we could make money out of it, then we raise our bets, we doubled it, maybe even tripled, and we lost.

The problem is that we make decisions in the wrong time, because we bet small and we win, we bet big, but we lost, so annoying, and it is because the randomness of the house edge, can't predict it.

Who in the hell will consider gambling as their "CAREER" in life? I don't see anybody who wants to make gambling their career. Even the addicted ones doesn't want to in my opinion.

I think it is obvious already that family is more important than gambling even you are addicted into it. No one will choose gambling over family here Cheesy

I don't call these professionals as addicts though, it's their passion and they probably earn a living from it.

I agree, but it looks like most of the people misunderstood the term that I used with a quotation mark on it, I was being sarcastic when I said "career", and of course professional gamblers are not included when I said that, because professional gamblers and amateur gamblers holds different mindset, pro have their passion and amateurs have their greed on it, just pure greed, they do have plan but later fall apart because they lost their money in gambling.
191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decisions for a better life on: December 14, 2019, 06:46:35 AM
I understood this as you stating gamblers are addicts, which is wrong.

Nope, I didn't say that, in fact I used "what if" term meaning that it is a situational scenario.

ALSO, Gambling addiction isn't a career jeez. Learn the definitions before using them. Made the topic really confusing.

That is why I used a quotation (hope you know how it works) on the term "career" because it is not a career, it is just a self-proclaimed careers that gamblers are saying, I guess it is you who should learn things first before you judge a book, thank me later Smiley

Maybe if ever I have really a passion in gambling then I would pursue it. But it is merely impossible for an individual to spend their lives gambling and risking their money. In the first place they need to have stable income first, their time will not just be focused on gambling at all. Perhaps, they need money to survive. But in a case that you are too rich from a family of rich people, then go ahead, sacrifice your time in family and play as long as they have food to eat and money to live.

I agree, but in my case, I know couple of people who are addicted in playing gambling and they spend most of their time on it, they look so pathetic and I pity them at the same time. They are taking for granted the love that their families giving to them, maybe they are too calm because they think that their family would not leave them because they love them, but no, everyone has their own limitations and so are they.

It is so sad to see addicted gamblers that don't know their limitation in life, we only have one family, and losing one is the real deal than losing money in gambling.

The answer is obvious. Of course many (including myself) will choose their family. Gambling is only for fun, I don't call myself as an addicted gambler, so I will probably stop gambling if I get to the point where I need to choose between my family or gambling.

I get your point but you're out of the topic.

You cannot call yourself an addicted gambler if you are playing only just for fun, what I'm trying to point out here is a scenario of an addicted gambler choosing which he will go on, but good for you though, I hope you don't get addicted to it or you'll regret it in the end.

Gambling was originally made to entertain us and not to be our source of income. We can still find a regular job to continue living a happy life with our family instead of choosing to gamble and lose them.

But what if you are earning so much in gambling where you don't have time for your family, to the point where you treated gambling more as your family and you don't care anymore about your real family, what will you choose?

I wouldn't call it the worst thing, it will be worst only if you are going to panic and sell all of your coins, in fact, to the brighter side of this topic, dump is an stepping stone to whoever wants to gain profits in the long run, do the classic, buy low and sell high, but in addition, you also have to study about price prediction, chart analysis, that way, you could maximize the chance you have in making profits while you are waiting for the bull run.
196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the faith of Scammers if bitcoin later becomes a traceable Currency. on: December 12, 2019, 04:43:17 PM
"if bitcoin later becomes a traceable Currency"

Well, bitcoin is already traceable. In fact, you can look at the transactions being made right now through block explorer sites like Blockchain.com[1]. Hence why you mostly see funds stolen by hackers being stationary, as they definitely wouldn't want to be sending the funds on exchanges as this would most definitely expose who they are.


[1] https://www.blockchain.com/btc/unconfirmed-transactions

Correct, it is traceable but we can't yet track the whole thing and give an accurate result of who is the hacker, something like that, where he live, how old is he, so on and so forth, maybe that was OP wanted to say, to have a more advance tracing process.

All that we could track also as of now is the IP address (hoping the hacker or scammer is not using a VPN), that uses different IPs whenever they want to.

I don't think paper wallets would be a great idea, why not just send them some bitcoins when they are sleeping at night, it would be more surprising that way, and more safer than having paper wallets, it will save your time also, you just have to put some effort on sneaking in their room at night, scan their QR code, and there you have it, mission success.

People buy a lot of bitcoins during those holiday times.
I think people are actually selling more than buying at this time of year, at least those who celebrate Christmas and New Year. Most will actually spend some BTC (by selling for fiat/or directly) to buy gifts, food and drink, decorations and all that is being bought this time of year.

People actually buy BTC long before so they can sell it and make a profit in this period, and this was a good strategy this year as well, at least for those who bought in the first few months of this year, they doubled their money.

Indeed, also if OP based it on what he observed last year, it is probably because the majority of us bought bitcoin last December thinking that in this year, bitcoin will skyrocket again and make another All Time High price but it didn't, and it could be repeated over and over again because we have our own predictions about bitcoin's bull run, moreover, it isn't that bad to buy bitcoin in this so called "Bitcoin week" by OP since bitcoin is still in the deep.
