Topic: You choose the best site. 💪 (Read 289 times)

There is no doubt that bitcoin is the best for us. And becoming addicted to gambling games is a choice. And if you can control yourself while gambling, you will not experience gambling addiction. Likewise, with drinking alcohol or drugs. You don't need to try drugs if you often hear about their effects. And everything is a choice that people make.

If gambling, drinking alcohol, and drugs are bad things for you, you don't need to go near them. There are still many good things you can do and get. So you don't need to gamble, drink alcohol and take drugs. It's all each person's choice. If they still want to gamble, they can do so, likewise with drinking alcohol and drugs. And if they want to trade or invest in bitcoin, that is their choice too.

I don't compare games or gambling with Bitcoin, I don't know who does, and those who do should get their facts checked because they probably lack knowledge about both gambling and Bitcoin if they are comparing them while they are completely different things altogether. Bitcoin is nowhere comparable to gambling, it's a cryptocurrency that can be used for gambling, I've seen people comparing trading with gambling, that's understandable but this one is totally out of one's understanding.

Some types of trading, like futures or options, can be compared with gambling because there is a high chance of you losing your investment in them. Futures are better though because you might not lose all your money if you have risk-management in place, but options can take away everything just like a lost gambling bet.

well, it's true that there is a big difference between gambling and trading, in gambling people are putting money in to play and not to make a profit, that is, when a person puts $100 into the casino to play, then that person He is giving up the 100$, that 100$ will not generate profit, they will go to the casino and as compensation the person will have fun with the games in which he puts money. This is why it is always advised that people only gamble with the money they can afford to lose and not take out loans to finance gambling, see that currently in many countries governments are banning people from using credit cards. credit to finance gambling.

This prohibition against using credit cards to finance gambling, is a measure to discourage people from taking out loans to gamble and at the same time encouraging people to be more responsible in managing their money, but when people are trading so people must study the market a lot, they must have a large capital and they must be aware that it will not be an easy task to achieve profit and especially constant profits, I am talking about this because many people when they enter the trading market have high expectations that they will being able to make money constantly and when they are already in the trading market and realize that not having constant profits

and when they start looking for other ways to make money quickly and don't make investments because this is something that only makes a profit when you do long-term hodl. So they go to games of chance. because they begin to see that in gambling in just hours they could make a lot of profit, but they don't take seriously the advice that other people say that you can't gamble with money you can't afford to lose. and of course people lose everything, then get desperate and put in more money and lose again. So my advice: don't day trade and don't gamble if you don't know that gambling doesn't make a profit. just make long term investment

Lol, not BTC, but almost every top crypto is being used for gambling, for deposits/withdrawals but crypto based casinos. I guess it's all about control and moderation for us. For me not all gamblers are addicted to it. You can call them addicts if they can't control and just think of gambling like it's just part of their lives. But I think there could be individuals who play for fun and to entertain themselves.

They can go out and play with friends and families and not being addicted. And it boils down to your priority in life. Maybe if you know what do you with your money first before getting into gambling, I think you will be ok and can control your urge to stop at some point to not lost more money. And just remember that it should be fun on your end. As for investment of our bitcoin, thanks for the reminder about it, but i guess everyone has it's own plan and strategy as well.

Don't know why he is comparing, I know gambling activities will lose more than trading but both have quite high risk, it's not as easy as what he said in trading, for me it's easier to buy bitcoin and then hold it this may not have any risk at all.

What about futures trading? This will obviously be even more risky because guessing the price if it misses will lose their money, indeed beginners, for example in spot trading tend to lose more than profit they are not yet skilled especially by not being able to control emotions when the price does not match the target.

I know that gambling is bigger to lose money but you also don't ignore the risk of losing money in trading.

As part of history, casinos really helped and contributed a lot to bitcoin's growth. In fact, they're like the first industry that have been stable up to now that has firstly accepted bitcoin. How about the real casinos that accept fiat, they're bad too?

That description of yours is about an irresponsible gambler. Not everyone gets involved with drugs although to that extent, it's the reality that's happening with many gamblers. They are not able to check themselves out and that's why they're ending badly and does terrible things when they lose their money due to gambling addiction. But don't forget that not all gamblers are like that, there are still responsible ones that check themselves out once in a while.

Did you know that gambling was one of the best use case of bitcoin besides it being an asset in the beginning? Before, these gambling casinos will just ask for your deposit address and that's it, no KYC, very simple.


I know it's very bad to be addicted, and we like your intentions here. Nevertheless, life is full of surprises and risk and we can call it gambling as well. For sure many of us here gets addicted, but then manage to control it and maybe just playing to have some fun online or going to land base casinos. So it's going to be 50/50, maybe they will heed your cause or just ignore you and continue with their crypto gambling.

Bitcoin has always been a part of the gambling industry, and it can be said that the gambling industry was and still is one of the most important areas that helped spread the use of Bitcoin, especially during its early years. It is true that Bitcoin makes it easy to enter the world of gambling, but I do not think it is permissible to be exposed to Bitcoin when we are analyzing the risks of gambling and comparing it to other bad habits such as drugs and alcohol.
People gamble with or without Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is only a means of placing bets and withdrawing profits. Let us not burden things more than they can bear because this will inevitably lead to absolutely wrong conclusions.

The gambler should not involve to the gambling with their friends money or money from the loan.Both will affect them financially,this may cause the gambler to get addicted.So this type of the gambler will do the gambling in the addiction targeting the loss money.Because the loss money is need to return by the gambler to their money source.Some of the people get addicted to the drinking and smoking will do the gambling,it made such people to get addicted very easily.If you had huge money,you can inverse the half money in the bitcoin trading by learning.The balance can be used fully in the gambling and winning possibility was their.

I do not know why you think investing into a risky activity like Bitcoin trading is somehow better than gambling nor am I sure where "Those who do not have personal income will not be involved in gambling" fits into the scheme of investing to learn about something, but hey, to each his own.

Gambling is almost just as risky as trading, especially for trading newbies who tend to trade on emotional decisions instead on good and professional strategies. And they most definitely will do that. And they will lose their money, just the same as if they lost it in gambling.

If we compare them both, that's wrong. I think gambling and doing drugs shouldn't be labeled as if the other is rotten to the core and the other one is likely going on that same level, we tend to lower the responsibility on both when in fact they are both worst in my opinion. Doing a little or too much doesn't mean it has difference, it's not if it's abusive. Next time OP try to connect your title to the content you want to share.

Correct! this is much more useful. I know they may be disappointed with their lives because of several things. it causes them to run to alcohol and just get drunk. In fact, we can attract it by bringing the energy of disappointment to positive things, for example investing in learning about Bitcoin investment.

Bitcoin is best currency as compared to gambling because in gambling you loss every penny whereas in bitcoin trading and investment the value of your money just reduces from higher to lower cost. Bitcoin investment is not as risky as that of gambling because gamblers are addictive to put money without worrying of winning or losing whereas bitcoin investors once loss money will never put money again in it. Other possibility is also that it depends on the behavior of person that will he continue trading as trading or covert trading onto gambling because a person addiction and behaviors matters a lot.

OP, here we always talk about gambling, drugs, alcohol as bad actions that are not commendable, maybe your opinion is right, these three factors can drain money from your pocket, I don't deny that, but I think it's different from the gambling activities that many people do, even though we often see bad things, it's different from drugs, these two types of alcohol, apart from being able to waste a lot of money, can damage the user's brain and common sense, However, gambling is a little different, people who gamble have goals and self-control does not occur as happens with drugs, alcohol.

In my opinion, Bitcoin investment is something else, which cannot be equated with gambling, alcohol and drugs, investment also has risks, although the risks are not the same as these three elements, in essence: Whatever we want to do to improve our personal economy depends on each individual and includes the knowledge we have, all activities have risks, The wisest thing is those who can control themselves against risks that can occur unexpectedly, regarding Bitcoin investments, gambling, drugs and alcohol.

That's why gambling is for adults, that way they know they are responsible for their loss.
Sure, it's better to invest the money in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin but there are those who like the added entertainment given by gambling in either sports or casino games. I think it will depend on each individual on how they are disciplined to maintain the losses to a minimum or better, to win every bet they make. Sports betting today gives odds that could be for our side if we analyze the game correctly.
But, I do agree with what you said, if we can avoid gambling then it's better, that way we can maximize our investments in other assets because we are not spending on bad habits.

If you're a gambler, then you should also have an investment in bitcoin, this is your joy over the future that you didn't end up using all you've got to gamble and be left with nothing to fall back on, we have to make research on the gambling platforms available before choosing any, we have to spend time on important things than drinking and flirting, we have to make fun with gambling and yet remain focused on our investment while none should be affected.

@OP is talking about the worst possibility in gambling, if you want to talk about worst possibility then I'll do same.

Life is useless because there are so many bad people out there and not all people can get a good job, most of them get a low paying job and can't fulfill their needs. Every month they need to ask a loan and they can't pay back their loans. Then banks are seizing their house, they don't have any place to live and they're forced to work with small salary. Why need to live when you've already work very hard when you can't feed yourself?

Voting > The thread title does not match the narrative.

You're saying all addicted gamblers will engage in drugs and alcohol? How do you know when someone will be more severely damaged than that? Not all do that even some addicted gamblers don't get involved in drugs or alcohol they are just addicted to more money drains and very rarely get involved with these.

Then you compare gambling to trading, as if trading is easier to make money but in reality it's harder and more risky than investing which you can only hold.

Could you say trading is easy because you made $80 in two days? I'm not sure about that story.

How many threads you have created regarding these Gambling games and Bitcoin?
What do you want to say on those topics? What can stop you? How many people do you know that gambled and lost their everything and then addicted to drugs and alcohol? Why are you flooding the forum with the same topic again and again and again? What are you expecting from the community?

Why don't you answer when people ask you questions regarding those topics? I am bored of these things. Can you please stop creating threads again and again? I hope you will read this post. Or are you going to create another one?

for what is the sense of that poll? when there is nothing to do with the topic at all?

and also addiction is not comes from gambling as there are many gambling in many vises before entering gambling

Advising a gambler that earns little amount to venture into trading is wrong, because they may not be skilled and would lose out everything. Losing money in gambling is not the only reason gamblers go for alcohol or drug. Other things affects these people, and most of them were alcoholics before going into gambling. So, exaggerating that gambling and trading is the reason for their high intake of alcohol is also wrong. Holding, for low income earners is also bad, because they may not be able to hold for long term. Additionally, games have no comparison to bitcoin, as they're both different things. Bitcoin is used to play games and it's not the only payment method required to play games online. Online gambling sites that accepts cryptocurrency is increasing, and bitcoin heads the cryptocurrency market. Because it lures bitcoin holders to gamble with their coin, doesn't mix bitcoin to the reason of their lifestyle after losing bitcoin in gaming. Your advise of taking less alcohol is very nice, because too much intake of alcohol leads to bad gambling decision. And, when that happens, players lose control of the amount of money wagered in a casino.

Playing gambling is everyone's choice, as in using the currency. Some people choose to use fiat and some people choose to use bitcoin. But since we gather at Bitcointalk and many casinos here also use bitcoin, that means people use bitcoin or altcoins.

If you mention investing and trading, it is very different from gambling. Although investment, trading and gambling also use bitcoin, we cannot compare them because they are all different. But we can use them all at the same time, although we have to arrange when.

I don’t understand the call to stop gambling or alcohol ingestion while investing money is completely irrelevant to gambling since it’s not an investment nor income generating activity. Many get the wrong misconceptions about gambling as source of income that’s why they are often being compared to investment. It’s like why buy phone instead of putting your money on food while both phone and food has different functions that both needed in different way.

Gambling is a leisure activity or source of entertainment. It’s really not a game for shallow pockets since it burns money most of the time due to its nature but it's for player that seeking for fun by risking money that they can afford to lose. Gambling is not investing and you can do both with proper asset management.

Why bother choosing to invest only when we can both invest and gamble at the same time? I guess you have to understand that if everyone holds Bitcoin, it's not good for the future, since it's the demand that will help the market grow. I'd like to tell you that the gambling industry is one of the major demand drivers in crypto.

Investing is not suitable for everyone, and neither is gambling, but as individuals, we have our personal preferences. I think the suggestion should be for us to be able to determine the risk and learn how to manage it.

Gambling is generally for everyone who have money or who don't have enough money, you can earn 20 dollars every month and gamble with $2 every month, you just need to cut your clothes to your own size.

Bitcoin is safer because it's not a gambling platform, that's a valid point but you can still lose money with Bitcoin as well, hackers can steal your coins from you if you are not very careful with what you do online.

Be responsible with everything, nothing is safe because everything carries a risk at least, not even our lives are safe, we sleep everyday and wake up the following morning, but not everyone walked up the next day, some died in their sleep.

All you need is understanding what you are getting into, understand the risks of gambling vs the risk of investing in Bitcoin, and be responsible enough to keep your financial life safe from possible never ending debts.

The best is when bitcoin price has fallen significantly, you can hold it after the bear market when the price is still low like this time.

Bitcoin trading is not investment, it is trading and risky like gambling for most people. The best is to hold it.

If people get gambling correctly, they will know that it should not be a way of looking for money, people should see it as a way of buyin beers 🍻 and cigarettes instead and using the money for gambling sometimes.

At first I don't really understand why you include poll on this post from what I am seeing it doesn't yet required a poll. And off course people must use bitcoin to gamble with it and there is no way this two things won't work together, in as much as people do trade bitcoin there's every tendency that one could also lose his money while trading especially if that person is not an experts on trading.  Both trading and gambling posses the same risk so partially they should be treated as the same and same limitations that is sets on gambling should be also applicable with trading.

Bitcoin is widely used in the gambling online industry and this industry is the biggest supporter of Bitcoin in the sense that many people gamble with such currency.Of course if you get addicted to anything in life it will be bad for you as a person as addiction or doing things more than you should is bad,even when you eat to much bread you do harm to your health.

Trading is the same as gambling unless for trading you mean hodling Bitcoin to a point where only at the next bull run you exchange it for cash and not all of what you have at your disposal.

We compare a lot of games and gambling here with Bitcoin which I personally think is bad because Bitcoin is the best currency in the world.
 Many of us get addicted to gambling games then we all lose money then we all get involved in drugs and alcohol which is very dangerous to your life and full of damage to your health and some people have bitcoins if they are trading A little loss they get involved in drugs very easily everyone stay away from it and gambling game wise people get success in short time because gambling game is not for those who have little money because they have to work hard to earn money on the good side. Invest the money in a place like learn bitcoin trading and holding your life will be better and you stay away from drugs and drink less alcohol.
