Motivating gambling addicts to invest in bitcoins.

[rachael9385]

Gamblers are generally not interested in investments like Bitcoin or stocks. They basically want to either win or lose instantly and move on. Hence why they go to the casino or buy scratch off tickets.

No gambler wants to buy Bitcoin today and wait 5 years for it to double. Trading in general has little to do with gambling. Most people that buy stocks do it for their retirement account because they get some benefits. Are they considered gamblers? Obviously not.

No mate, plenty of gamblers wants to invest in Bitcoin but the other thing that stopped them from investment or draged them back from investment is because gambling sites nowadays also use Bitcoin as payment methods, just imagine the fact that a gambler has BTC that Worth's $100 and the same gambler lost $500 from gambling he/she will inventualy sell he's/her coin to gamble again because he thinks he can get back his loses from gambling.
Weldone OP, you did well by motivating a gamble addict to invest in Bitcoin

Nowadays many people in our country are addicted to gambling. I have seen many people losing their huge amount in most of the gambling games. If all those people can be informed about bitcoin, how to earn money in bitcoin? I think they would have invested in Bitcoin and they could have made money from it.Besides, if they can discuss about Bitcointalk in detail, then I think they will learn about Bitcointalk besides investing in Bitcoin. In this, the person addicted to gambling could stay away from gambling besides earning money.

One thing to remember, I'm not criticizing gambling. I'm just sharing my opinion. thank you

After all, gambling and cryptocurrencies are not the same thing. If a person cannot control himself, then he will probably not succeed in trading. In gambling, the result is immediately visible, while in trading it takes time, and sometimes a lot of time.
The idea is not bad, I think in some cases it can work

If someone struggles with a gambling addiction, this person might need professional help. If not, an activity to substitute gambling can be good, but I don't think that investing in Bitcoin is a good option. Firstly, gambling is often about getting fast results, while Bitcoin investment isn't. You bet some money and get a fast result, learning whether you won or lost the bet. Then you do it over and over again. Buying Bitcoin like that, using small amounts and many iterations, can look as suspicious financial behaviour and cost a lot in fees. Also, there's no immediate result, as the price simply fluctuates.
Secondly, a big part of the problem with gambling is losing money, which is why I believe that investing in Bitcoin is a bad option. If a person is just buying and buying without being willing to sell, it's basically lost money. Not to mention that Bitcoin can be in the bear market for a long time.

Gambling and Bitcoin investment may be confused. Gambling is addicting, while Bitcoin investing is strategic. It demands knowledge of both blockchain and the financial world. Frequent minor investments raising suspicion and hefty costs can be minimized. Research and choosing a competent trading platform helps reduce these concerns. Bitcoin "losing money" may be oversimplified. Though unpredictable, the cryptocurrency market has seen huge long-term profits. Hodling, or holding Bitcoin, has often yielded large gains in crypto.

Haven't you seen a gambler who sold their house to gamble and also haven't you seen people selling off their cars and personal property to gamble?
What then now makes you feels they won't still sell of their bitcoin if they invested it, well if you must know a gambler I say an addicted gamblers doesn't know how precious their property is when they are addicted to gambling because is easily to sell it off their belongings whenever they are in the mode to gamble.

Besides there are also online gambler who deposit BTC to those site to gamble, are you still telling us that such person as an addicted gambler won't still touch his investment of bitcoin to gamble with some fractions?
In general, gambling addiction is like a disease that refuses all medications, in some cases it takes time to be healed otherwise anyone who finds themselves in such condition may be hard to be controlled.

It is possible that finding new hobbies can make someone switch from gambling to investing.

but this can happen if the person really intends to leave the world of gambling. thus allowing them to look for hebits that can make money and investing in bitcoin is one of them.
so as long as someone has no intention of stopping gambling they will still play gambling even though they have found a new habit. Especially now that there are several sites that can pay via bitcoin, this can make it possible for even someone who has stopped will be tempted to return to gambling.

If you really want to really leave gambling and switch to investing, then stop your gambling activities, stop coming to the casino, control your emotions and finances and block all gambling sites. After you have successfully done this, all you have to do is focus on your investment, understand it and continue to analyze the market to minimize losses and increase the chances of getting profits.

It's hard to describe the color black to a blind person, that's for example convincing a gambling addict to make money investing in Bitcoin. There are many cases that occur among gambling addicts, they will do everything they can to make money to fulfill their desire to gamble. Often they sell assets to be able to gamble, it is possible that they will also sell Bitcoin if it is related to a habit that has become a staple food for them.

People who join Bitcointalk can't be separated from gambling, but the people who are here can still control themselves in gambling. Part of the money generated from the BTC Paid Signature Campaign will be allocated for gambling, then some will be used for other needs or for investing. Your opinion is very good for active gamblers to apply, but the facts that are happening on the ground are quite the opposite.

How sure you are that they are going to leave gambling and just invest their money in Bitcoin, that's no way to discourage gamblers to stop gambling, they will even continue to gamble more when they found out through you that they can play online using Bitcoin.

You cannot stop them from gambling and you will end up introducing Cryptocurrency casinos, maybe it is a good idea to introduce Bitcoin to gamblers through online Cryptocurrency casinos but you cannot shift from gambling to investors but they can be both.
Gamblers will always gamble until they realized that they are having too much of it and they are losing everything, they should have the effort to stop gambling

There is a catch, addicted gamblers are addicted because they have a plan all along, they want to make it in life taking the short cut route and brother, I believe you of all people should know that Bitcoin investment is a long term play, gamblers don't believe in such, maybe a few of them did but if majority of them believe that something like Bitcoin can change their lives in future I believe they won't become an addict to gambling.

It's going to be a tough work to confuse an addict to start accumulating Bitcoin, it's going to be like you are putting them in a suffering position.

A true successful Bitcoin investor believes in Bitcoin that's why they accumulate with their hard earned money, and apart from this, they do it for years, it takes a very well patience person to do this, addicted gamblers aren't one of them people.

How sure are you that they will made money if they would've invested their money into Bitcoin? Investing into Bitcoin = gambling if they don't know it. Yes we can inform them as well, but the question is, are they interested in learning it? There is a potential that they can earn money investing into Bitcoin yes, but do they like it? Or they would just prefer gambling their money. Like you, we also so lots of people losing their money in gambling as well.

We have a neighbor who got addicted into gambling as well, and now he's having a hard time sustaining his daily needs, and it came also to a point where he needs to beg to other people just to have something to eat.

Besides, if they can discuss about Bitcointalk in detail, then I think they will learn about Bitcointalk besides investing in Bitcoin. In this, the person addicted to gambling could stay away from gambling besides earning money.

Like what I said, joining this forum would be useless if they aren't interested in Bitcoin at all. If they are then they can join here, do research, and learn. There are lots of information here where they can learn anything about Bitcoin. On the other hand though, joining here in the forum doesn't guarantee that they will stay away from gambling.

One thing to remember, I'm not criticizing gambling. I'm just sharing my opinion. thank you

With what you said, you're not criticizing gambling at all so no worries.
TBH, gamblers can become investors as well, so they can still gamble, but at the same time invest into Bitcoin. That's if they are rich. Maybe there are some gamblers out there who don't care about losing money because they're happy just by doing their hobby which is to gamble.

The "get rich quick" syndrome is part of the issue rather than betting for good reasons. Bitcoin won't make such people rich over night so they may not be attracted to it or stay long enough. This is why it's never a good idea to attract them to Bitcoin or even this forum for money, unsupervised.
First of all, let them know about the ideas behind Bitcoin, and where Bitcoin enthusiasts, fans, supporters, etc tend to gather to talk Bitcoin, and see whether they like the idea, if not, let them be else they will come & start chasing after money and gambling again in Bitcoin space instead of contributing to its growth and development.
 If you wish to help them financially, it's better to have a qualified person guide them or just manage their investments for them.
Only the disciplined ones or talented people who are passionate about Bitcoin ideals could be left in this space alone.

It must be remembered that addiction is a bad habit that is difficult to break, and when compared to gambling and investment addicts, the two are very different and it is not easy to divert gambling addicts by investing. And this will only make the gambling addict worse because he is not used to what he is doing every day, and his brain will continue to lead to gambling because he has become an addict.
and both have different ways of working so we can judge whether it works.
Gambling: To play in any game of chance to gamble, to gamble or bet money, or anything else of value, on the outcome of something involving chance. And if they become addicts they will continue to do so without control which will make them even more miserable.
Investing: Using money, through a purchase or spending, in something that offers a favorable return and this is not for short-term gain such as gambling or a short period of time. Because to get good profits they have to do it in the long term with patience and knowledge.

and it's a conflicting habit that I don't find easy or hard unless you're recovering from an addiction.

Your idea is great in fact, there must be many gamblers who might have left gambling due to the unpredicted risk it contains and addiction to gambling is the worst thing to happen to someone because it changes the lives of addicts. I agree with you, because if we taught them about BTC and how they can earn money through trading then they will definitely leave gambling and step into it. But you must know that there are many gambling sites in crypto too. Which might attract them instead of their good guidance. we might have provided them with another platform to gamble.

Which of course, is the opposite of what we wanted. So, to assure the shift of their interest toward BTC and Crypto we have to teach them and should lead them towards it directly. So that they would not fall prey to all the phishing and High return projects and Gambling projects.

I do not think the knowledge of bitcoin talk is that necessary because to be here you do not have to get knowledge about bitcoin talk as we know BTT is not a computer that we have to learn before usage but instead, it is a book that contains useful information about crypto and BTC.

But in fact, if the gambler is informed about bitcoins, maybe he will use bitcoins to deposit on gambling sites. Now there are many gambling sites that use bitcoins and altcoins. They don't need kyc so it's safer. Maybe, gambling addicts don't stop, they can even get more addicted

What do you mean about making money on forums about campaign signatures? Yes it is true but gambling addicts don't want money, all they have in their heads are jackpots and jackpots. Even though they already have a lot of money when they hit the jackpot, the money will run out again in the next game. It is very difficult to stop a gambling addict

However, if gambling addicts feel comfortable joining this forum, there may be other benefits, such as: learning bitcoin, contributing to forums, participating in signature campaigns, and being able to discuss in this forum. Maybe his busy life can make his gambling addiction slowly stop

You are right, it is always difficult to convince addicted ones to avoid an action to which they are addicted. But I think OP just wanted to say we might use BTC and Cryptocurrency as a tool to lure them into thinking that they would also earn money out of BTC but at a lesser risk as all they wanted to do is earn money by doing nothing. Because gambling and crypto have different levels of risk and gambling has the most risk involved.

Addicted gamblers will no doubt sell all of their savings and household things just to gamble more and there are many Crypto gambling projects there too, so we have to be careful while dealing with such sensitive cases. like, addicts. I think once we convinced them the benefits of investing in BTC over gambling then they might change their minds too but i know the possibilities are near to zero because only those can be cured who wanted to otherwise other gambler will just waste your time.

Gambling and Bitcoin are completely different things. The main work of investors is investing and the work of gamblers is gambling. But for the gamblers who are addicted to gambling, even though there are some obligations in gambling, it is completely different. But there is no assurance that you will get profit from investing in Bitcoin. On the other hand, there is no gambler who will win or lose in gambling. observing both of the two aspects a gambler and investor must prioritize what he wants.

There is a big difference between gambling and investing because while the investment is done with profits being the main aim,  gambling on the other hand is done mainly for cash fun,  unless for those who take gambling as a means of earning a daily income which is not possible to achieve., so for that I believe there is a mixup After all, some of the addicts can't get over the forces that control them.

For anyone to choose between the two it then means that you have to make predetermined plans for each,  it's more easier to gamble than invest because with a few cents, you may gamble but to invest one need a huge amount to buy a good amount of Bitcoin.

It has nothing to do with gambling, I think you are looking for a topic to involve the two worlds bitcoin and gambling, and!  Since we have a gambling board in the forum, you create the soup, excuse me, the topic.

If these guys of your idea are addicted and switch to trading, there is no difference, or let's say not to trading to buy bitcoin, well... surely they are obsessed with selling any belongings to buy whenever they can, and when the bitcoin goes up or down in price comes the lack of control and begins to manifest the same symptoms that you would have if they do bets.

That being said, we are entering a discussion away from this board, bitcon discussion, there is none, the fact that you target bitcon and bet in your context is not relevant to deepen, obviously there is a "reply" but to fall into the same thing, the addiction It is a disease.

This sets of people are very difficult to predict since they are routed into gambling they believe it would be more beneficial to gamble.
You know gambling may have a very big chance to hit a fortune from it than investment who might take years to yield a meaningful profits, so most gamblers may not love the idea to invest in bitcoin since is not faster way to make money.

[cabron]

Whatever games they play in fiat casinos, are also found in Bitcoin casinos. There is nowhere else they can go but will always be close to temptation.
But these addicts could be turned into a trader though. Its a more appropriate I think than to make them hold which they may not be able to resist the urge to bet especially if they find the games they like playing in popular casinos. Turning them into traders means they will have something to learn about and keep them occupied to learn about charts.

[PeRo]

Although it could be a good idea and investing should really be ahead of gambling, this isn't really possible. Gamblers don't have the will or time to invest in something and wait for it to make a profit, it just takes the joy from them. The thing with gambling is that you can play many different games, gamble on different stuff and it is so flashy and attention getting, it fills the gamblers dopamine receptors so they can easily be addicted.

In any case, they get more fun out of it and they know the result of their bet almost instantly and if they win money - it just digs deeper. I think gamblers and investor are themselves for a reason, so there is no point of mixing them if they don't want to change. Also I don't think we should motivate them into anything before helping cure the addiction.
