1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories! on: July 05, 2018, 03:21:30 AM
I quit gambling long time ago when I was on the verge of becoming an addictive gambler. I used to gamble regularly with my friends and I found it entertaining until it started to affect my studies and social life. Then, I tried to reduced my gambling activities.

Then, I got rid of it completely as I got used to the new routine. It was hard from the beginning, but then you will get used to it because your time is filled up with other various activities
That's good to hear, you overcome your addiction to gambling. I am also like that before, I can't continue my life if I can't play gambling in a day, I always invited my friends, cousins and also siblings to play with me and bet, they also want it too because they are also just like me, when I finally notice that I am losing and just wasting my time every day, every single day of my life is just a waste of time, I am thinking to have another activity to have, then after that I also reduce my gambling games every day, until I totally stop playing with them.  Grin For now, I sometimes play but not that addicted just like before.
I think the people who overcome gambling in this life are blessed with the best because very less people are seen on real life who actually have made a victory against gambling because majority of the people return after facing a very bad defeat from gambling and that defeat doesn’t allows them to stand up for the next shot and compete for their survival.
People who made the right choice to stay away from gambling are those people who wanted a change in their lives and yes its not easy to do it because you will get out something from your system but for as long as your faith is strong and you are motivated to do what is right I think you will win the battle. Everything is all in our mind if you can control your mind then you will make it, others who do not do it successful are the quitters and its sad to say that they are many of them.

I think the analytical technique really helps me to analyze the right time to buy and sell coins so I can avoid losses and can provide more optimization for profit.
That is the real use of technical analysis to know when to buy and sell our coin. Successful trader use this technique and mostly they succeed.
3  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it too late? (To buy Bitcoin now) on: June 16, 2018, 11:59:13 PM
If you are looking for a $10 price of bitcoin then you are very late but we all know bitcoin already hit the $20,000 price and compared to the price right now to its previous all time high bitcoin is very cheap so I think its not too late for you to invest.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you play online casino? if Yes... on: June 16, 2018, 11:19:58 PM
I am not fan of gambling at all but when I found out that there is a website which I can play Dice and just use Bitcoin for my funds I got hook in playing it so yes I think online casinos or gambling site that use bitcoin can attract bitcoin users. At first they will only purchase bitcoin for their gambling habit but they will eventually realize that bitcoin is not just made for that but its an investment and also a very inportant technology sonthey will start buying and holding bitcoin.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think this year will be Red? on: June 16, 2018, 03:46:45 PM
We can’t expect the market to be green always so yes the market can be red for this year but after that it will recover and will rally x10 or even more that’s why its better to be long term in crypto to avoid stress.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: its not about how much you invested, its when you should invest? on: June 15, 2018, 03:53:57 PM
I agree with you! It's not about how much you can invest but its the timing of buying your coin though when you are long term it doesn't really matter how much the coin but if you will trade then price matters so it depends. But the capital is not really a big deal since you have to use a money which you can only afford to lose so it depends how much is your budget. What is important is you will make profit no matter how small is it.
7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I want to start trading on: June 15, 2018, 03:05:50 PM
Right now its better to stay away  with crypto market its been months since the market is going down and I think most of the traders right now became bag holders or other had big loss. But if you really want to be in crypto just buy bitcoin as of now and wait for the market to at least stabilize for you to start trading.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I buy TRON or ETH? on: June 15, 2018, 09:07:07 AM
Right now Tron is not making a big move even after the mainnet so I guess it would be better to buy eth but if you are for long term then both tron and ethereum is a good coin though tron has a lot of improvement to do.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: June 15, 2018, 03:17:50 AM
I have personally made 2,500 usd in a real casino,  the first 8 hundred or so with blackjack turned around and hit a 1700$ jackpot 10 min later, the most i lost was 400 in blackjack it was a 200 dollar bet, I caught an 11 doubled dow, caught an ace dealer had an 18 I had a 12,
You are still lucky, most gamblers who played long term are losers but it maybe depending on the games you played.
Blackjack is a good game but IMO it is categorized as luck based games, so that means in the long run we will still gonna lose.
No doubt that majority of the gamblers are losing all the time rather than to win the game. I don’t know the reason why this is happening with them but they still are not willing to leave the gambling for their own good. I think they are not lucky enough in case of gambling and maybe lucky in other fields of life and wasting all of their luck in gambling which is useless puts them in deep troubles.
I don’t think there is someone who is lucky in gambling and wins all the time, gambling is designed to eat all the money of gamblers that is why casino is poppinh everywhere. And gambling is for entertainment in the first place its the people who thinks that its a shortcut of getting rich.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we make sure that our money we invest in Bitcoin is safe? on: June 14, 2018, 12:53:00 PM
I just want to know how those people behind bitcoin secure the money they will invest because as far as I know there are lots of hackers all over the world.
To secure your bitcoin investment you have to put it in a hardwallet or offline wallet that you own the private keys never give your keys to anyone else you do not trust. That's the only and safest way to put your money in a secure place, exchange site is never secure so if you have some their make sure that its only for trading.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your first betting? on: June 13, 2018, 02:07:11 PM
My first betting was with my cousin it was a card game I forgot the name I did not won because obviously it was my first time and my cousin was teaching me how to do it that time. It was our way of killing our time since there was no gadgets at that time later on I learned how to play and I can proudly say that I am good at playing that card game now but I don't play it with money bet anymore I just play for fun like giving consequences to the one who lost.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Better Late than Never? on: June 12, 2018, 03:21:39 PM
Huh I couldn't wait any longer and jumping into cryptocurrency pretty late. I understand I have invested at the high end as of late, but with the rapid growth over the last several weeks I would be a fool not to jump in.

What are the predictions of the bubble before it bursts and drops back down?

Also, I imagine it should become my goal, as an investor, to actually use the bitcoin for what it was created to do. Peer to Peer purchasing in a free market, not relying on the banks or 3rd party taking their cut. Where can I begin actually using bitcoin to purchase normal household items?
Yes its true. Better to be engage in bitcoin than regretting it later. As you can see the btc value drops down, many people see it as problem but think as a businessman it is the best time to buy bitcoin since the value is low and afterwards hold and then sell if the value gains money. You will not experience that, only if you take courage to buy and enter in crypto.
Bitcoin price has been going down and this is the chance for those who haven't bought bitcoin soon they will regret if they will not take this chance. The big whales is playing the price of bitcoin because they want to accumulate more that is why they are trying to shake the price of bitcoin and make people panic to buy whenever they dump their btc.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: June 12, 2018, 02:09:42 PM
I already ended my gambling moment when I realized that I have been wasting my time and money in something I know I can't win. Gambling is very tricky it will give you hope of winning that jackpot but before you will get into that moment you will have to lose many times and most of the time you will never hit the jackpot. That is why I always tell my friend to stay away with gambling as early as they can to control the damage that is going to happen.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Market Goes Down and Down on: June 12, 2018, 01:17:30 PM
The market is going down because it made a huge growth last year and early January this year it needs to go down like this for its own good. Remember when the bear is over the bull will come and the bigger the chance of the coins to grow more than what happened last year.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The market does not look good! on: June 12, 2018, 12:05:10 PM
yeah it's so sad for me, i hold altcoins like ethereum and ripple since january 2018 and i did not get profit until now.
You obviously bought your coin when everything was going up but you don't to worry your coins are for long term just keep holding them the market will recover and we will see a big pump one of these days.
16  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't hold your coin on exchange for long time. on: June 11, 2018, 06:30:42 PM
If you wish to hold some coin then use exchange only for during exchange. Just exchange your coin and transfer on your personal wallet that you have controlled. Specially you can use hardware wallet.
Because many exchange hacked buy hacker. Many people loss their capital by hack.
So please don't hold your coin on exchange for long time.
It's not really a good idea to put all your coin in an exchange specially if you plan it to hold for long term but I think people still prefer putting it in exchange because its convenient when you badly need to sell your coin its a risk to take and I think people are already aware with the consequences.
17  Economy / Economics / Re: A cryptocurrency with volatility can't be used as money on: June 05, 2018, 04:49:41 PM
You are mistaken as it can be used as money because it is impossible not to have volatility at all, any type of currency has it. Moreover, even dollar we use is volatile as well. I think that the rate of volatility will become less soon
Crypto volatility right now is not suited to become a currency and even if you’d say that dollar have price movement from time to time its not the same with crypto still. For as long as people will not fully adopt and acknowledge crypto then the volatility will be high because people will only use crypto for trading and long term investment not a currency.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know its time to Stop? on: June 03, 2018, 04:44:14 PM
I stop when I notice that on the day I played I almost lose my budget for gambling meaning I lose more than I win. Even though I still have a chance of winning because I still have a budget, I will still stop coz I am thinking that losing on the game on that day is already the sign for me that I am not lucky enough to win amd maybe I lose all my money
Well I guess your are not one of those gamler who love to chase losses or maybe gambling for you is for fun and winning is not really a top priority regardless you lose or win you will only use the allocated money for that day. I hope to see more gambler like you though its very impossible to happen because gambling is really addictive.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Blockchain Survive Without Bitcoin on: June 03, 2018, 11:21:58 AM
Blockchain technology is the main core of bitcoin and that is the reason why a lot of people believed in bitcoin because of its technology so I think it can survive without the name of bitcoin, banks even want to use blockchain to improve their service to people this means that bitcoin’s technology is a success and that will lead the price of bitcoin to soar.
20  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: KuCoin vs Binance on: June 02, 2018, 02:47:13 PM
I think these two are one of the best exchange right now I both use them and I like them both but Binance has more coin compared to Kucoin that is why I trade there most of the time.
