101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A game that educates people about Bitcoin on: February 23, 2020, 03:51:34 PM
I don't think games are a good tool for educating adults about new concepts, they are time-consuming and distracting. You could use them to teach kids, but why would you want to teach kids about Bitcoin in the first place, it's not like they will be using it till they grow up.

Adults play games to relax and have fun, and educational games generally have poor gameplay, so I can't imagine such game being popular.

I disagree, I think it us a good idea to create a game that educates people about cryptocurrency because games can be fun and while having fun you can also learn something. For those who have not known bitcoin may find it boring to read and study bitcoin but if it's a game then it will be fun.
A game that can be challenging yet entertaining and full of knowledge is a great idea to enlighten people with regards to bitcoin. It depends on what kind of game, there's a difference between a game for kids and adults. They will surely find it boring if it doesn't suit their preferences but it will be great for people who are into games. People have various of ways to learn things, it is usually reading books and articles. A game as a tool for learning is kind of unique and it seems possible to work because people these days are into online games for the reason that it is enjoyable and it enhance your skills development.

It will be hard if you are already addicted to gambling because as you said it becomes a habit already. Getting out of gambling addiction is very hard you may need professional help or rehabilitation to ensure that you will not gamble anymore because if you will just say you'd stop on your own but we know temptations are everywhere if you are not that willing to really stop then you can't stop. Personally, the longest for me is like years, I don't gambling much and I only gamble when bored and sometimes I forget it for months or even years.
Inmy first day of not do gambling its really hard to stop and it make feel regret to not continue because there something inside me to take advantage of a situation even I won a  enough amount through it. It take years before I decide to come back and play again but now I do gambling only for fun unlike before that I make it as hobby thats why I become addicted to it.
It is difficult at first particularly when gambling is your habit, you can't easily retain yourself but as long as you are determined to discontinue gambling the you will find a way to manage yourself. It usually takes time and effort to learn self-discipline in order to get a hold of yourself from playing. I'm not a compulsive gambler but I know someone who set himself a limitation on gambling for about 8 months, he told me that it wasn't easy especially when you are surrounded by people who gambles often. He keep himself away from them and went on a vacation to feel relax and do various of things that can make him entertained other than gambling like reading books and watching movies. It went well because he can finally stop himself from playing whenever he want, making him realize how it affects his health and his financial status makes a positive impact on his process of getting better.
103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling or Casino gambling? on: February 23, 2020, 01:11:15 PM
Online gambling is more convenient than casino gambling because it is less hassle that i don't need to drive myself at the casino. But i still enjoy playing at the casino rather than in a online casino because it has a different thrill and excitement, and i also think that it is more fair to play in a casino rather than in a online casino.
You can easily play with online gambling, anytime and anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. Online and land-based casinos have different advantages and disadvantages, it depends on your preferences. Personally, I prefer online gambling because I don't have enough time to play in traditional casinos and it is too far away from my home so there's no other choice but to play online. It gives a different experience but it is still capable on making you satisfied and entertained with their service. Aside from that most of gambling websites offers various of casino games so it is suitable for people who wanted to chill and relax into their homes during leisure time.
104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have anyone tried to stop gamblers from losing while they keep on wagering. on: February 22, 2020, 12:20:23 PM
One of my friends is addicted in gambling before to the point that it negatively affects his health because of poor sleep and appetite. As a friend, it makes me feel bad seeing how gambling makes his life miserable. Just like you, I have tried to warn him because I know that gambling won't give him any assurance. The problem is he didn't listen at but it didn't stop me making him realize how gambling changed his life. I told him that he will just suffer the consequences of his actions if he don't realize how it makes an impact on his financial status and health. I told him that there is so much more entertaining things other than gambling, it is difficult at first but he was able to handle himself because of the help of our other friends and his family.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright: A Very Wrong Person on: February 22, 2020, 10:50:34 AM
5. Craig Wright was sued to court by Dave Kleiman's brother, because he knows for a fact that Craig Wright is Satoshi and is trying to claim half of he's Bitcoin fortune. Craig Wright did not want to be put on this spotlight he was forced into it.

LOL. Craig was stealing money left and right, borrowing then not giving back. It's already proven that he owes it to the Kleiman's family. He's only trying to prove that he was the founder to make it look like he was sharing it with Kleiman not that they were both testing a system made by someone else (Satoshi). If he would manage to prove that he made Bitcoin he wouldn't have to pay but he can't do it because he's not Satoshi and no fairytales of a mysterious courier with his private keys will not help him win the case.

As expected, Craig keeps on manipulating the situation to make people believe him. As if someone's going to trust a deceiver's words, why would someone be convinced by a person who creates a false reality point? it is clear that he's not the person behind that pseudonym and he will never be because he can't even fight for his stand. At the end of the day, he will just suffer the consequences of his action because it's definitely identity theft.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is getting more adopted in my Country on: February 21, 2020, 05:36:28 PM
BTW, What progress is happening in your country?

In our country, Bitcoin is already legalized and for years I don't see any development to it.

Scams all over the country are not uncommon and to be honest, even common lines of scammers are still effective here. That is the reason why a lot of people do not want to use or even invest in cryptocurrencies.
now the name of cryptocurrency is bad because I see many who have misused cryptocurrency for bad actions so people are also very difficult to accept cryptocurrency anymore, cryptocurrency should be able to have a good reputation so it will be very easy to make the legality of its use and some countries do transactions using cryptocurrency.
The reputation of bitcoin was ruined because of people who take advantage of the opportunity to deceive and exploit other people's funds. It negatively affects their perspective on bitcoin because they are finally aware how risky it is to invest on a cryptocurrency, especially nowadays that scammers are consistently looking for a chance to trick people who doesn't have enough understanding on securing their funds. People are doubting bitcoins capabilities because of lack of knowledge, they just let the news be a foundation of their decision. We can't literally take that feeling away from people because they are just afraid to lose their funds for nothing. I just hope that despite of that they will still try to see the good on bitcoin because it isn't a problem, the people is. Anyway, the adoption in my country is improving because stores starts on using it as a payment method and people are becoming more aware that a digital currency like bitcoin existed.

Experience will help you develop your understanding by making you realize how you can properly manage your trade. Some experiences may be bad but it will make an impact on your way of thinking and even on your decision making because you will learn to consider it as a foundation of your choices. Perceiving the lesson from your experiences will guide you on analyzing the possible result of any actions or decisions that you will be making as you continue your trading journey.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling a threat or fun? on: February 21, 2020, 01:34:58 PM
It can only be a threat if you let it. If you don't know how to limit your self, gambling can lead to serious problems. Addiction starts slowly if you are just starting to gamble and know for your self that by the end of the day gambling is not healthy for your health and financially, you should do something about it.
Gambling should be satisfying and entertaining, it isn't a threat unless you just let yourself end up on a situation wherein it affects your life negatively. It is one of the specific reason why gamblers must set their own limitation to keep themselves away from addiction. It is our responsibility as a gambler to ensure that it won't make our life miserable, it  is the reason why self-discipline is a must because it will make you analyze which is the best and right thing to do. Gambling can possibly lead to threat if you continue on gambling without even realizing how it makes an impact on your way of living.
109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I have some funds to invest-- How do I make a good decision? on: February 20, 2020, 03:02:23 PM
There are lot of factors to consider to make right decision and if you want to be safe then you should learn there are general things you must consider to save your funds from scams , Stay away in ico , see price fluctuations and volume that coin , just don't invest in any coin if someone in team is saying , have a look at markets regularly and keep your investments divided in top altcoins  
Considering the possible problem that you may encounter as you start your investing journey is a must, especially nowadays that scammers are always looking for a chance to deceive and exploit your funds. In order to make a good decision, you need to make some time and effort to enlighten yourself on how you can properly manage your investment. Never forget doing your own exploration because it will assist you how you can secure your funds and assets from scammers. Aside from that it will improve your understanding and help you identify which coin is worthwhile.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Assess your gambling addiction level. on: February 20, 2020, 01:36:33 PM
I consider myself being on a level zero because I usually gamble with my friends to enjoy and entertain myself. I just play and satisfy myself without the thoughts of looking for another strategy to win the game because I know that gambling won't assure you the possible result. I restrain myself for having a a mindset of getting back the money I have lost because it can possibly lead in addiction if I don't control and limit myself.
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins with so many pages in one thread on: February 19, 2020, 07:02:01 PM
If a crypto project has so many pages in just one single thread on this forum, does that mean they are doing good work with their project, keeping focused every day and their supporters are also active and contributing with good content each day? or a project having many pages in one thread has to do with other reasons?

I have seen the Dash project, for example, having a lot of pages in just one thread, and they are one of the top threads in the altcoins section.

If a project has many pages and they keep very active does that guarantees the potential buyers a good investment with them?


Yes, the project is active but that does not mean that the project is legit and worth investing, remember Bitconnect has a huge number of pages but it turns out to be a big scam and a Ponzi scheme, it all goes down to the project and how the community see it, don't trust the announcement always check if the platform really contribute to the growth of the community.
It just means that the quantity of pages of a crypto project can't be use as a foundation of decision whether a project is legit and profitable. It's their approach to convince people that the intention of the project was good and it is worthy of trust. Its indeed better to ensure by checking and researching various of information with regards to the project that will assist you on determining if its worthwhile.
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Places To Hold Initial Coin Offerings on: February 19, 2020, 05:39:57 PM
What actually happened, do you think holding an ICO project should have a safe place so investors avoid fraud or other risks? The place is not a problem because scammers are everywhere so what should be considered and realized is about knowledge, because with good knowledge held by each investor it will have a good impact in order to avoid any fraud that might occur, because of the risk in whatever things are at least always there so be careful.
It depends on how investors will apply their understanding to keep their funds away from scams because as an investor it is our responsibility to ensure that we're handling our investment properly. Knowledge is an important tool that will guide you on distinguishing which ICO project is beneficial but with the reputation of ICO, you should be vigilant before making any decisions and check every information.
113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright Potential Lawsuit to Bitcoin on: February 19, 2020, 04:33:54 PM
1. Craig Wright didn't invent Bitcoin.
2. Craig Wright doesn't understand Bitcoin.
3. Craig Wright has had nothing to do with Bitcoin.

He is a pathalogical liar who dug an incredibly deep grave, he's realizing that he can't climb out anymore so he's just trying to over-bluff people.
He will never stop claiming as the real creator of bitcoin and I’m so tired about this one. Craig Wright is a mess guy, if he failed in the court then that’s a good reason for him to stop telling people about his authenticity. Creating bitcoin is indeed a good idea, but claiming it even if you know to yourself that you never create bitcoin is not.
Craig Wright keeps on manipulating people and even the situation but he don't realize that people will find a way to reveal his foolishness. What can you expect on a deceiver? I don't understand the reason behind why people are still trusting someone who claim himself as the person behind the pseudonym "Satoshi" when he is not even capable on proving it on people who doubted him. Craig Wright isn't tired being on the same issue because he knows that there are still few people who trust and believe his words that full of sweet lies. At the end of the day, he will just end up suffering the consequences of his actions.
114  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Consider these 12 things before joining a bounty program on: February 19, 2020, 03:30:21 PM
This applies to investors too, not only bounty hunters. I doubt many of them will read this guide though.
As pointed above, most projects will do their best to make you believe they are genuine and never doubt they might be scammers.
They make sure that you are getting convinced by their promises to deceive you. Its one of the reason why investors are in doubt investing on most projects because they are aware that one mistake can make an impact on their funds. They are afraid to take risk without having any assurance that the project is worth it and profitable. The problem is some investors don't analyze the outcomes before making decisions. Anyway, it just means that we can't just decide to participate on a bounty project without considering various of things. You may think that it requires time and effort to determine if a project is legit and will help you earn profit, but it is worth it knowing that your effort won't be wasted since you know that you will end up on a bounty project that fulfill their promises.
115  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are crypto advisers worth to be looking for? on: February 18, 2020, 04:40:46 PM
Find them with careful, make sure you know them and have good responsibility and reputation  to handle you as beginner.
Being careful is a must particularly these days because you can't easily determine a person't true intention. People change their way of thinking when it comes to money they can find it as an opportunity to deceive you and exploit your funds. You can't just give your trust without having any assurance that they will be worth it, the one with a good reputation is the best choice because you know that they already build a lot of trust from others and they won't ruin their reputation not unless they get blinded by the amount of money. It will be difficult to start trading as a beginner because you will definitely get confuse about various of things, but if you're determined to be enlightened on how you can manage your trade then you will surely make some time and effort to study and learn.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have control or not? on: February 18, 2020, 03:17:06 PM
Yes if you are gambling then you will have to control all about your gambling and no one is responsible for it. You need to gamble with care by having control over your emotions and your whole feeling not only about earning but also about loss. If you see you are losing money just hold and never try to recover faster just wait and stop gambling for some time.
Its a common sense already that it is all your responsibility into whatever happens to your money either you win or lose.

Having a control with yourself is too hard to achieve to be honest because if that is the case then lesser gamblers will suffer losses. Gamblers are losing most if not all of their funds because they are too greedy and hoping that they will gain more and more profits if they stay into it.
Gambling won't give you any assurance with regards to the possible outcomes of your choices so you have to accept it and face the consequences. Gambling isn't the problem, its supposed to be entertaining and satisfying. The specific issue is people don't know how to restraint themselves when it comes to gambling. They don't analyze how it will affect their lives especially their financial status and health. Don't let your greediness affects your decision making because it won't do any good it will just put you in a difficult situation. I can control myself, I can stop whenever I want because I know how i'll just suffer at the end if I allow myself get addicted.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't be a hypocrite and admit that you are a gambler on: February 18, 2020, 02:28:18 PM
That is correct. But we need to be aware also that gambling is fun until it reaches a stage in which you do not gamble for fun anymore but solely for the sake of gambling. Gambling is fun and that fun itself is addictive. Winning is also something that makes you gamble again and again despite hitting it very seldom. So as early as possible, it should be done and enjoyed with certain limitations like putting a moderate amount of gambling money or spending a moderate amount of time for gambling. Just like other forms of enjoyment, gambling has also its bad side.
Gambling isn't supposed to be bad and harmful, its just that people doesn't know how to manage themselves when they gamble. As a gambler we should be self-disciplined, we should know our own limitation to prevent gambling addiction. Its our responsibility to ensure that it won't affect us negatively. Just like any of you, i'm a gambler on a various of reason. There's a time that I don't even think the outcomes of my own decisions and actions, I just keep risking and putting myself into difficult situation because of making an action without any assurance. I guess it depends on the person itself if he/she is going to consider their experiences as gambling.
118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Invest on: February 18, 2020, 01:35:39 PM
All your points are  all great but does not guaranty profit to your investment, still investing in ICO or IEO has a risk attach to it, so it's better to invest what you can afford to lose, so whatever it turn out not in your favor you will not be sorry if you lose  and, of course you will gain experience and insight.
Investing in ICO is definitely a high-risk, you can't literally assure that your investment will be worth it and that's why doing your own exploration will help you distinguish if it is going to be legit and profitable. We can't take away the risk but if you have enough knowledge and you acquire from your own experiences then you can easily handle it and surpass the possible problems you may encounter. Novices must take not of this so they will not end up regretting because of losing all of their funds by taking risk without thinking the possible result because if you don't then you will probably regret your own decisions.
119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mail Bombing in exchange of Bitcoin on: February 16, 2020, 03:47:08 PM
Damn!
This person is crazy, they really are going too far and doesn't care even if they harm people.
What can you expect with people these days? they are capable on doing anything for the sake of money and they don't care on how it will affect someone's life. I won't be surprise if that person end up suffering the consequences of his actions because he let his greediness be a foundation of his decisions and actions. I don't understand why people will stoop down that low for bitcoin, let's say that bitcoin can make him rich but does he realize the trauma he can possibly give to people? the fear of being in danger? Maybe their conscience don't let them sleep at night so they will realize their mistakes, anyway be careful and stay safe everyone.
120  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Coronavirus Phishing Warning on: February 16, 2020, 01:49:25 PM
All the symptoms, possible cure, safety/prevention methods for the corona virus are all online, it wouldn't even take a second to just research about it, email and password verification is ironically even a longer process to get information on the virus. it's really idiotic and ridiculous to give such information out on a subject that has gathered so much popularity and with all safety measures being made public on various platforms: news, internet, schools, billboards etc
The problem is people easily believe and trust an information without even reassuring themselves that its from a trustworthy site. Its really sad to see how people come up with an idea on deceiving people just to exploit their funds and assets, with the current issue that a lot of people are facing right now. I just hope that people will do their research before giving personal information that can be used against them. Fraudsters just prove that they are willing to do anything to get the benefits they wanted so be cautious.
