1101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devices used for Gambling on: April 13, 2021, 10:58:40 PM
I primarily use pc for gambling on the regular. But when I am out and about I would gamble with my phone. It's all a matter of what's convenient for me at the time, although truth be told, it's much more immersive and fun to gamble when you're using a desktop computer compared to using a phone. There's just some features that are available on PCs that you can't find elsewhere. That's why if I am to choose where to gamble, I'd probably pick Desktop over Phone.
1102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will governments ban Bitcoin like they did with Gold? on: April 12, 2021, 10:13:31 PM
A country can ban bitcoin usage in their territory, but the fact that there are at least 164 more countries who will be willing to accept a revolutionary piece of tech as bitcoin is still good to me. Countries can definitely impose regulations or even bans on anything they deem unhelpful or parasitic towards their people, just like what they do with drugs. If they see bitcoin as a drug that wastes away their people's brains, then they may definitely impose stricter regulations or even banning for it. But looking at its current benefits to the people, I highly doubt this ever happening.
1103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Future of BTC on: April 12, 2021, 10:10:41 PM
Two things can happen, both likely but one has a better chance at happening than the other. 1.) Bitcoin would prevail in its rally to revolutionize the concept of currency, possibly paving a way to a more digitally-centric economy which will then spark new job opportunities for people, or 2.) Bitcoin dies either by a fabricated and well-timed war against countries which will impede technological progress, therefore stopping the internet from becoming a relevant piece of tech, or because it's scalability isn't supported, so when it reached a very high price point with a very high transaction fee, people just left it and kept it as a novelty item.
1104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Most expensive account ever bought on: April 12, 2021, 10:06:14 PM
Early adopters of bitcoin that lost their hard drives are feeling the same way too. Imagine throwing away a dirt cheap, almost novelty item 5-6 years ago, only to find out that it's worth at least someone's entire house mortgage years later? Even I didn't anticipate something like this happening. I just pass things off like this as a stroke of luck I wasn't able to get, and continue investing in it because with bitcoin, you're never late to the party. So long as you're investing, or have invested and held your bitcoins, then you should be good.
1105  Economy / Economics / Re: The One World Currency: Is it Bitcoin? on: April 12, 2021, 09:59:38 PM
Bitcoin cannot be the standard coin of a One World Government, Because first and foremost, it is decentralized. It's circulation wouldn't be precedented, influenced or controlled in any way, shape or form by this One World Government you're talking about. This also goes for any future currency that bitcoin will pave the way to. Because those coins would probably be decentralized themselves, knowing that it's the biggest defining factor and the biggest selling point bitcoin has to offer besides its high profitability and current price point.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have anyone tried to stop gamblers from losing while they keep on wagering. on: April 12, 2021, 09:54:06 PM
A bit heroic if I'm going to be honest, not everyday do you see someone patting someone else's shoulder to keep them from doing something they may regret in the future. And frankly speaking, I wouldn't do that personally. I have bad experiences about giving advice, so to tell someone what to do with their money while they are in the climax of their addiction is probably not the best thing to do, at least for me.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on how to place sports bets on: April 12, 2021, 09:28:47 PM
Totally agree on the first tip. You can't just be betting on a game or a team you have no background knowledge of. Doing so is the common recipe for losses. It's you're money we're talking about, so it actually wouldn't be that bad if you pay a little mind to whom and where you're betting. Because that increases your odds at winning more games and altogether winning money. Research on each team member's skills and weaknesses, and then compare them to whatever the enemy team can offer to the table.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to Poker on: April 12, 2021, 09:21:38 PM
If you want sure profits, I would suggest you try crypto games out there that shouldn't require that much luck for you to earn. Axie Infinity offers so much profitability now and is becoming even more promising in the future. It's up to you really but if you're willing to switch games there are a bunch out there that offers as much profitability as Poker with lesser drawbacks/risks.
1109  Economy / Economics / Re: Can not believe 5 years ago you could of bought one whole bitcoin for this much! on: April 10, 2021, 11:10:09 PM
How big this coin has become ever since it was created. If you have bought 100 bitcoins back in 2015 you'd literally have 650k by now. And this growth is not showing any signs of stopping, so we can well expect in the future that bitcoin may even reach 100k, or even 1M in a few years after. The world is your oyster with bitcoin.
1110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The history of bitcoin ATMs is much longer than I thought! on: April 10, 2021, 11:02:44 PM
They have in very big topics of discussion in the past, although I myself couldn't picture a fully functioning Bitcoin Telling Machine as early as 2011, a mere few years after bitcoin is conceived. Things like this gets you excited for what the future has in store for bitcoin, because things that are labeled ridiculous or impossible by today's standards can become a reality in the next couple of years.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: April 10, 2021, 10:57:56 PM
Bro, you have to work this out, I know you can. If you feel like you're getting addicted to gambling, which I feel like you are no offense meant, you should probably seek professional help. Probably admit yourself to a rehabilitation center where they can help you cure or alleviate at the very least these urges to gamble. Once you're out, find a job, pay your debts little by little and before you know it. You're back on track. The fact that you put yourself in this situation means that you too can get yourself out of it, just have trust in your abilities man, and whatever money you got now, don't gamble it.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Transactions Fees x Gambling on: April 10, 2021, 10:53:14 PM
I think it's only fair that you're being charged of transaction fees for your gambling. Those go back to the system and is used to fund the very foundation that keeps your money and finances alive. Although sometimes I do think that the transaction fees are over the top. Especially back in December-February when the fees are very dizzying you couldn't even send a hundred dollars without paying a couple hundred for transaction fees as well. Hopefully they do something about this because this could cause a huge problem in the future, which could then lead to the death of ERC20 tokens.
1113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investment is limited on: April 09, 2021, 10:39:17 PM
Bitcoin was never intended to make someone rich, or solve financial struggles of the same matter. If you'll ask me the current price situation it is in is purely coincidental, and is just brought about by people who believed that it can offer mobility to people's transactions, perhaps more. Bitcoin is digital money, but the current situation it is in made it seem like it was a store of value, or an asset to invest in. It's supply is limited both to ensure that circulation is happening, and to protect its future value as well.
1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You won today, but then you will lose often on: April 09, 2021, 10:34:25 PM
You probably need to work more on controlling your urges to bet more, It seems like you're winning a fair amount of games, and yet you still lose your earnings because before you know it, you bit more than you can chew. I suggest playing 3 games every day, and 3 games only. 3 losses means you can't bet for the whole day, if you win once, you can only bet two more times. That way you can secure your earnings, plus it also instills discipline so this can definitely improve your self-control.
1115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are There Drug Options for Gamblers' Disorderlyness? on: April 09, 2021, 10:31:11 PM
Gambling addiction is still a form of addiction, so people who feel like they need to see a professional can seek therapy for whatever it is that they are feeling. I got a few people who got into a very deep mess, loaned a hefty amount of cash and sold multiple properties just to support their addiction, where I suggested they seek medical treatment. So far they were able to come out clean as a slate and are slowly recovering from the mire they have been in the past.
1116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will crypto sportsbook replace fiat sportsbook in the future? on: April 09, 2021, 10:27:36 PM
There's a good chance this will happen in the future. As technology advances, the needs and wants of people will shift to whatever is more convenient at the moment. And since crpyto sportsbook offer this convenience over their fiat counterparts, people will gravitate more towards crypto variants which are readily available over the internet. Added to this the fact that social contact is highly ill-advised which may not be gone for a very long time.
1117  Economy / Speculation / Re: Someone just bought 12000 Bitcoin on coinbase wonder why? on: April 08, 2021, 10:34:05 PM
It's a transfer, not a buyout. And besides, this purchase is not indicative of what most of you may call as "shaking of the weak hands". It's pretty much just bitcoin being transferred to a coinbase wallet/exchange for all we know. Plus, miners do this on the daily, though not in grand amounts like this, to avoid suspicion, so what makes this situation different from what the miners do on their lunch breaks?
1118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Government ban on crypto on: April 08, 2021, 10:27:14 PM
As OP stated, banning bitcoin at least in the US is very unlikely. But in the off chance that it is to banned,  bitcoin will suffer significant losses. As most of it's high-rollers are situated in the US, and will be forced to cash-out or risk losing their money in the process. I can expect that it can even spark a panic sell which will definitely dump bitcoin's value, down to something that I highly doubt it can recover from. Even in the crypto world, the US still holds the best cards apparently.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most entertaining Twitch gambling streamer? on: April 08, 2021, 10:21:10 PM
Watched one poker streamer. Got fed up because the viewers can easily tell that he's just acting, and all of his reactions are nothing short of exaggerated, probably to hype up the game situation, or to gather more people for cringe views. Either way it's working, since he's gathering at least hundreds of views every day doing the same exact thing every stream. Screaming, yelling, typical paid actor stuff.
1120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin difficult to understand on: April 08, 2021, 10:15:29 PM
For those who have little knowledge about the workings of the internet or computers, then understanding bitcoin would seem as a Herculean task, but for the average joe that probably had a supercomputer in his pocket and a desktop on his room, bitcoin would be easy to understand. One doesn't need to know the inner workings behind it as it is something you can't expect to be basic. Just the regular and easy to catch info about bitcoin is more than enough to educate people about bitcoin.
