Bitcoin = Financial freedom

Quote from: ethereumhunter on October 05, 2018, 06:47:53 AM

Yesterday, my friend who is younger than me came to my home and talked about many things. He said that one day he found about bitcoin gambling site and he finds that how it could easy to play the game without using any money and only use the coin which he can get by free. And he starts to play with limit free coin and still, he is curious about this, and I explain more about the bitcoin gambling, and I tell him to not playing bitcoin gambling too often because he cannot make any money. I hope that he listens to my advice and stay away from the gambling site.

From this, I think as long as that person can access the internet with easily, soon, he will find about gambling site, and he will try to play and if he cannot control his emotion then soon or later, he will get addicting in the gambling game. I am too worry about this because if that person decides to continue to play, then he will lose much money.

If someone gambling for earning then they should stop doing this but your friend looks like not playing for money even if he do he is just doing from the money from faucets or free bonus which may not affect him at any cost but still time limit also important to stay away from gambling addiction.

I think young people nowadays know the bad and good benefits of gambling yet because of addiction and the urge to earn a lot of money in a fast way they intent to play and play and forget that gambling isn't a good way of making money. Yes, you will earn good yet you will not hold your money a longer because it will loose only in gambling if they don't stop.

It's true that young people are becoming more interested in playing gambling games over time. However, since most are inexperienced, they could easily lose everything they had saved, as they become addicted and greedy to the game. Once they're extremely addicted into a gambling game, it's nearly impossible for them to get out, since they always want to gamble more with the hopes of becoming rick quick. What they don't truly realize is that the field of Gambling is based on pure luck, and it's possible to either win big money or lose it all in the long run.

This becomes worst if the gambling game is already rigged by the owner, which will make you lose more than what you earn eventually. Provably fair games are best to place your bets in them, but even so, they're still risky. IMO, young people should get educated about this business first before deciding to place their bets in a gambling game. To stay safe, it's advised to simply withdrawal or cash out the money once you've won to preserve your profit. Just my opinion

I'm not sure if experience has anything to do with having more chance to get addicted.

I'd say that the main reason why gambling is especially dangerous for young people, is because their brain is not fully developed yet.
Thus causing any sort of chemical imbalance at a young age, whether it's through gambling, drugs, etc., isn't the best idea.

I'm not just talking about minors btw, your brain isn't fully developed yet until you're around 25 years old

Yes, because most young people still don't have a consistent or permanent soul, they can still be influenced by things that are spree or have fun, more precisely young people still have unstable souls. They will be aware after they have a future expansion for their lives in the future, so they will think about and determine their way of life in the future. Gambling cannot be avoided among young people whose souls are still struggling to have lots of money to have fun, therefore there are many gambling addicts from their young age.

I think most of the people are addictive to gambling which there is no age restriction and even most of the people for fun not to make money. So always most of the young people are very addictive for for free sources of money and they find gambling is the best way to make fast money.

Wouldn't call gambling a free source of money. It is the riskiest source where someone needs a lucky shot to be rich while dozens of people lost almost everything...

Although trying to make money with gambling is a stupid idea (and we have to make sure all young people know this fact in the first place), I wouldn't call it the riskiest enterprise. When you gamble online you can lose your balance, while when trying to rob a bank you can lose your freedom or even your very life. Also, there are a lot of shady businesses in the streets which are much more dangerous than gambling. Since adolescents are tend to do something risky anyway, maybe gambling is not that bad of an option.

That's logically flawed. Robbing a bank could be successful too, without getting caught or risking your life.

Since we are talking about very serious matters here, namely the rising number of gambling addicts among young people, I will use some statistics in order to substantiate my statement. According to the FBI, in 2010, 16 people were killed during bank robberies—13 of them were the perpetrator. Also, according to various sources, including FBI, from 76% to 92% of bank robberies are being solved each year, meaning perpetrators are going to jail. Now, can you please provide the sats on how many gamblers were killed during a specific year and how many of them went to jail?

Quote from: Patatas on September 29, 2018, 07:02:12 AM

The shady businesses on the streets guarantee a profit. If one sells drugs on the street, he's guaranteed to make money. The case is not the same with gambling. You may or may not.

That is absolutely not true. People getting killed or injured by rival gangs while trying to sell drugs on the streets is a common thing. Your profit is not guaranteed at all. Where did you get that info?

We should be very careful in choosing words when speaking about such serious matters. Just imagine if young people were reading your lines, what conclusions they could draw from them?

Those people who think that they are gambling just for fun and not for money become addicted after some time. It is hard for them to quit gambling when they feel the lust of the gambling. Greed is one of major facts of regular gambling. Gambler thinks that he will win now and now and loses all the times. Young people have no restrictions of gambling because of online facility.

P.S: Don't post for merits. Do contribute more meaningful contents and the merit will follow.

I think it is because of the online gambling. Young people use smart phones in the streets, shopping malls, schools and colleges and their houses they use both, cell phone and computer. It means that now they can gamble from anywhere. No time limit, no certain place, 24 hours and everywhere. This is the main reason that young people are addicting of gambling.

I agree on you.With online gambling,young people are very free to gamble even how many hours they will play for it.As long as they have their own money to gamble,then they will not stop from gambling.Addiction will really develop afterwards knowing that you can't hardly get rid already from gambling.

It could be related to accessibility of online gambling, they can gamble wherever/whenever they want and also young people's money generally come from their parents, they don't know the value of money.

Also agree, specially a more sort of staying outside home for parents not to know about it as you say

What these people don’t know is that most gambling games are actually rigged. They may be having some fun at first but they may find themselves losing as time goes by. The thrill of winning at first gives them confidence and makes them hooked to the game. They may even think that they’re good at playing because of their “beginner’s luck” and many would attempt to win back their losses. These young people get blinded and sometimes it’s too late before they learn the reality of gambling the hard way.

No one can be blamed in today's gambling progress, it is true that gambling addiction is very much experienced by young people now they play as they please without thinking of anything beyond that, the environment greatly influences people's thinking, gambling will be very good if they use it with well and if not it will have a negative impact on a child's life easily, depending on how they work.

The reason is online gambling because young people play gambling from their bedrooms and their elders don’t know about this. They cannot stop them from gambling. Therefore I will blame online gambling for this. Young people who care for their parents will never visit physical casinos because if their parents do not allow them, they will never gamble in casinos.

I don’t understand how one can gamble for well as you mentioned here, besides I think that gambling can never be for good. When something is not accepted by the world how it can be used for well. It is not all about the mentality. It is because of the bad environment they have everywhere in their lives. Young people are destroying their lives in such bad things.

It's normal thing especially when teenager still have fresh spirit but the disadvantage is they still can't manage with rationally or we can say that they are based on emotion.
For me , it's very dangerous and will lead into serious manner.
Of course we can prevent that happen by give them a notice about the risk of gambling so environment and religion become the main aspect !

That's how addictions developed, when you are into this activity without any limitations as long as you have your money and you can always refill, there's no certain ages that prone into addictions young or old who's really engaged nowadays are all prone into addictions, the only thing regarding to this matters are the time where young people can deal into online gambling as they've got more free time.

Robbing a bank could be successful too, without getting caught or risking your life. The shady businesses on the streets guarantee a profit. If one sells drugs on the street, he's guaranteed to make money. The case is not the same with gambling. You may or may not.

In fact, I do not even think the two should be compared by any means. I would say your statement is even more logically flawed when comparing those two things and I can totally understand what betwrong is trying to imply here. He never said gambling is not risky, but certainly not the riskiest which I would not think someone in their sane mind would want to rob a bank or do some crazy illegal stuff and think they would in the long run easily get away with it.

It is impossible and that is even more risky than gambling. In the long run though, when young people are in their early age exposed to things like this, which includes gambling, the making of decisions without ending up on the wrong side is somehow inevitable.

Maybe experience can help us to stay away from addicition with the young people the experience of life may not be found at most time but if some one having much free time to spend they will be addicted to something for example if we are spending time with social media then it be our daily routine to check the social media every morning so which is an addiction so it same applies to gambling too.

If the experienced long time on gambling definitely they will be advise us to stay from gambling investment but they will involve themselves alone on gambling for sure.

Addiction stories are many on gambling as like that we will be able to find the loose fund completely from your pocket.

Looking at the level of addiction these days, you will tend to find out that most people that get addicted pretty fast are those who have the mindset that gambling can set them on a good course to get rich overnight and that is one mentality that can be applicable to anyone but I certainly understand this is something that can be more common among the young ones.

A reasonable adult who has experienced certain things in life, has heard different stories, and is wise enough to make decisions, will always find a way to control themselves.

Nevertheless, like I said, this does not mean we do not get to see adults that gets addicted too as well most times, so in a way, we could just say as long as you have the wrong mindset either young or old, you are still prone to gambling anyway.

I have the feeling that this is becoming more of a trend now with more young people and more time on their hands, they can easily be turned into such societal orders, taking up gambling.

It is because the younger generations nowadays are much more internet savvy as compared to the older generations, and they are also much more willing to learn about new technologies, since there are so many online casinos that are allowing the gamblers to wager with crypto-currencies, some of the younger generations might start to play on the site when they saw online casinos appearing in google search, they might get themselves seriously addicted to gambling without any self control as it just requires an internet connection for them to start gambling.

Digital currency makes it easier for young people to use online gambling. When a young boy or girl starts gambling from young age they become addicted when they reach to adult age. Then it is very difficult to quit gambling. The trend towards gambling is increased due to the much use of internet and it is not good, because gambling itself is a bad thing and is destroying young generation.

I myself have never seen a special thesis that says that gambling addicts are currently the biggest in young peopl., but referring to the digital currency that has the most users from youth and many online gambling that exist can certainly be interpreted if the most addictive people are young

He probably got it from TV series or just from the general idea that doing something illegal will give you money. I think it should be clarified that doing something like this will indeed give you money but only for a short time. The problem arises when you want to quit. Syndicates don't let you quit the game. Either you stay or they kill you so you won't expose them at some point. It's really risky to do. In addition, if you're in bad need of money for yourself or for your family, you're not going to risk going to jail because that will result to you not being able to do anything to help your family. There's still a lot of things that you can do since a lot of people don't want to do certain things.

In my country, the jail time for drug users, and sellers is a lifetime. Once you're caught, you're better off dead. You're never getting out.

Age really do have some effect even though you may see some adults behaving like small kids sometimes, so in a way one could say that maturity comes to play most of the time. However, we also have to understand that there is something they always call youthful exuberance as they tend to start facing life and having to make some decisions while learning from their mistakes, and in cases like this, being exposed to gambling can really make a huge difference in their level of addiction.

Yes, there is no doubt that even old ones could get addicted depending on the mindset they bring in, but any old cargo that has experienced life in its thick and thins will know never to pursue profit in gambling, which is one thing that is most prone among the young ones.
