1121  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Investors Confidence in Bitcoin💪 on: June 24, 2023, 03:23:59 PM
In 2018, when I heard about Bitcoin from an elder brother in the area, I became addicted to Bitcoin. Since then, I started learning about Bitcoin from that elder brother and got the opportunity to learn more details from the forum by logging into Bitcoitalk with his ID.  .
 And in view of this in 2020 I invest some of my savings in Bitcoin.
 From teaching, when Bitcoin broke past record highs at the end of 2021, I had the opportunity to make a good profit from my invested Bitcoins, but my strong belief in Bitcoins prevented me from selling Bitcoins, after which the price of Bitcoins began to decline.  Then different people tried to discourage me in different ways but it is from this forum that predictions about Bitcoin and my confidence in Bitcoin still make me come.

Hopefully during the Bitcoin Halving of 2024, Bitcoin will break all previous records and reach a peak price.
Well, though I admire your patience and belief in Bitcoin, I would say that you made a mistake by not selling when Bitcoin was at its peak because you could probably earn more profits in that way, you could sell your Bitcoins and then hold on to your stablecoins when the market started declining, and then you could buy again when the price of Bitcoin dropped below $17k and then you could hold until it reaches another all-time high.

I always advise people to do this because even though holding is profitable in the long run, one can get more profits if they trade their assets for stablecoins when the price is high and then buy again when it's low which maximizes the profits in the long run.

Luis Enrique is a manager who loves discipline and he knows how to work with players like Neymar. Therefore, he already has a telephone conversation with Neymar and said that he would like to see him in the team. You can understand him, he will now seek to keep most of the team, because it is very difficult to start all over again. PSG is a very strong team and they practically have all the players in order to achieve their goals. Leaving Messi will not be critical, because Mbappe and Neymar remain in the team. Luis Enrique is currently one of the best options that PSG could have chosen.
Right now situation is very interesting because many big stars are going to leave with Mbappé is also centre of talk with his words about he doesn't want to extend his contract and PSG management which is having huge funds wants to sell him if he not like to extend, and now we have one of the best person as coach which can change the fortune of this club with his way of play and experience as well even mostly are going few players want to stay, and now Luis Enrique is also wanting Neymar to stay here for the next season as well which is interesting.

But one thing is still certain as now we will have PSG no strong as we have them in last few years specially in Ligue 1 we will have good fight for the title and few teams will also try their best for having stay near to close PSG which will create good entertainment for the fans as well.

I can also say that those people who see gambling as the only alternative are lazy people,who believe in living in a world of fallacy,because there is no way that anyone can survive with gambling for ten years. The house edge always win a.......
If the house edge is eliminated, gamblers can survive based on their skills. The issue is that we often generalize gambling, assuming that gambling sites always have a house edge. However, not all games have a house edge. Take sports betting, for example, where you have the option to choose from different betting odds. If you possess skills in sports and have been gambling for 10 years, it could indicate that you have been successful in your endeavors.
Casinos will go bankrupt in no time if there is no house edge, that is how this business model is profitable, otherwise, players could win a lot of money and make casinos go bankrupt. Also, skills can't be used in every gambling game, you are right that one can use their skills and experience in sports betting and might get success because there is no house edge in sports betting, and whether you will win or lose depends on the outcome of a real-life event.

So someone who doesn't want to be a victim of the house edge should probably learn sports betting and research and analyze different matches of the sport that they like and have some experience in and they might get success in that area, other than that, there is no chance for anyone to be successful because gambling isn't for that.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing and he's very piqued to invest in gambling sites for the apparent success that they earned. I don't think it is wrong just cause you won't invest in it lmao. Let the man have his fun. Pretty sure he'd do his homework too if he feels like he needs to and...
I am not sure about that because his tone is so unsure and he ask a lot of questions about it but that is a good approach to do if are newbie to it. We shouldn't just trust our instincts and invest because that is the common cause of a failure. BTW, he is not investing in gambling sites but it was on their stocks rather. There must be a difference between the two because investing in a gambling site seems a direct one and there are casinos who are offering it. It's called bankroll investing in other terms.

it's not something that you have to reiterate to him cause there's no way a guy who knows nothing about stocks and investing in them will ask people in this forum about investing in casino stocks. That's just stupid.
The @OP is not asking us to do the same thing but he was only asking for our help or if we already have a knowledge and experience when it comes to these matters. But there is really a stupid or better call them fraudsters who likes to encourage people even them their selves are not expert about the thing that they are promoting.
1125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Fun Fact] Is Gold scarce ? Bitcoin is ! on: June 22, 2023, 12:09:43 PM
what we do know is bitcoin's total supply is just 21 million and that makes it scarce.
It's more precious than gold.
Well, even if gold isn't as scarce as Bitcoin, it still has the trust of the world and people don't believe in Bitcoin as much as they do in Gold because they know that the supply of Gold, no matter how big it is, will never get cleared from existence no matter what happens because it exists in reality which means it has a physical existence while Bitcoin is just a digital currency and a technology and we all know that technologies are not really that scarce as they are always replaceable.

We all know that there can't be any other asset to replace Gold until the existence of humanity but we all know that Bitcoin is something that can be replaced by something else in the future, something with better functionalities and properties can take its place.
1126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 22, 2023, 11:23:23 AM
It's often believed that men are more inclined to be risk-takers than women, not only in gambling but also in the investing world. The majority of investors are indeed men. Similarly, in gambling, it is true that most high-risk takers are men, while women tend to gamble more for entertainment purposes.

Furthermore, some women enjoy gambling even more when they are not using their own money.
Lol, what you said in the last statement is true for a lot of aspects in life and not only gambling, and you are right that women don't tend to risk a lot of money only to earn something that is not guaranteed at all, they would rather spend the money on something that can get them something in return whether it's a good or something else that they adore. That is how the nature of a woman is.

On the other side, men don't really care much and they risk very large amounts of money so that they might get something on top of it, and when they don't, they might regret initially but they forget about it soon enough and they will even do it again in the future for the same result.
1127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: June 21, 2023, 05:19:19 PM
That's why we need to double our security and our every source because not all the time that the internet give us the accurate and true sources because there are many scams or fake news around the internet. So we need to find those legitimate one. Especially in gambling we need to look the trusted and reliable sources in order to put our bet in our favorite team of player.
If you are searching on the chrome then you would come across many scams as they are not moderating it and only want you to pay them so it's your responsibility to check for authentication and don't fall for those fake news spreading on the internet but many times we believe in what we see but that's not right and yes we should check for it and confirm if the news is right or not.
One should simply not trust a news seen on a single resource until they believe that the source is actually genuine, otherwise, it is always recommended to look for the same news from other sources as well, if it's found and is in the same way that you've read in the first place from the first source, then you can believe that the news is correct, and if it isn't found or has different information, you shouldn't believe the news and look for more sources.

There are obviously a lot of fake information spread on the internet only to get views and visits on pages, channels, and websites and that is why we shouldn't believe everything we read on the internet, we should always verify the information that we get or read somewhere.
1128  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: June 21, 2023, 03:40:15 PM
All strategies for roulette game are equal, absolutely everyone of them has the same value. If you see something like "The Best Roulette Strategies" on the web, you can read the info and follow the advises, or you can just ignore it, it doesn't matter, the result will be the same: if you are lucky - you will win, and if luck isn't on your side - you'll lose.

I can't say that the owners of the RouletteMan channel presented in the OP are scammers because I don't see they are scamming anyone for personal profit, but I can definitely say they are your time wasters. Saying that one Roulette Strategy is better than another is basically saying nonsense, and that's what they are doing on their channel with 34K unfortunate subscribers.
That's the case with all the channels that try to teach people how to gamble and how to use different strategies, because we all know that there is absolutely no strategy that can maximize one's chances of winning and minimize the losses but strategies tend to make people lose more money especially if they involve increasing the initial bet size after every loss like martingale.

I always advise people not to use any strategies in gambling because that won't make a difference at all, it's better to simply stick to your betting method and you may win something but if you try to use a strategy to try and win more or recover the losses, that will cost you more in the long run.
1129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to accept crypto payments? on: June 21, 2023, 01:40:24 PM
I am a freelancer and most of my payment I received with crypto. I think the most convenient way to accept crypto payment is using big exchange wallet because if you got some problems with the transaction their support is quick and effective, and if it's somehow it got hacked exchange should take responsibility.
Receiving a payment in the form of crypto is so cool. It is fast, anonymous and most of all, it allows us to earn extra once the value of the crypto we are getting rises. Yeah I know, it's not only about the benefits, but there is also some disadvantages, like if the price of that coin falls, we will feel that we are being underpaid for the job that we have done or we are being paid less to the products that we are selling if it's about online business.

I wouldn't say that using an exchange as a wallet is convenient because an exchange can experience an issue. If there is a loss of money, it's not always guarantee that we can be refunded. It's risky so it's better if we can just use a dedicated crypto wallet where we hold our keys.
1130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin vs XRP? on: June 21, 2023, 12:09:50 PM
Always pick the top dog of crypto and that's Bitcoin, nothing else. Bitcoin controls the majority sentiments of the crypto market if bitcoin goes up, the altcoins follows as well and vice versa. As always buy and hold BTC because it's the king of crypto though XRP is still good to hold but the majority should be bitcoin.
Why not try investing in Altcoins that will give you full returns, such as the great altcoins Ethereum and also Bnb, and if you are looking to profit from long-term investment both altcoins are good to buy, and we think you will get the returns you want. or you can choose some of the other top Altcoins for you to make as Investment assets.
Full return from our investment can be times two only. It's small and looks easy for the great altcoins that you mentioned. There is BNB but I know many people will comment negatively about it because of the anomalies Binance is being involved with. If Binance prove that they are not guilty, BNB can perform well and its potential can be higher than in Ethereum because its value is still small.

We can get the return that we want, as long as it was realistic. If we are not yet contented on Ethereum and BNB, we can move to the other top altcoins. I heard that Litecoin is getting some positive sentiments lately, so maybe we can add it in our list.
1131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 21, 2023, 05:50:11 AM
I'm sure Sevilla will be able to fix any gaps this season by bringing in talented players to fill those gaps. Sevilla has a pretty great coach. I think José Luis Mendilibar will have the full support of Sevilla management to change the squad in this season transfer window. In addition to the defense sector that needs to be repaired, they also need to bring in good quality stickers in the transfer window. So far, there have been several players targeted by José Luis Mendilibar. So for now, Sevilla have managed to get Adriá Pedrosa to strengthen their defense for next season. If you look at the depth of the Sevilla squad this season, of course, many of their players are old and it's time for Sevilla to make a transition this season. The players who were brought in by Sevilla might be a cover for next season for their senior players because if the senior players are absent due to injury, of course the players who are brought in this season can show the quality they have in every game.
contrary to this, it is unlikely that sevilla can afford any major signings with the clubs financial standing and yes, getting champions league football does not change that position. it is left to see if sevilla are able to get quality loan signings, else they would struggle with relegation like the just concluded season
Even this all is too early because no one sure how things will be in coming days and now with their participation into Champions League they need to work on their squad which is never been easy because they are not strong in finances and can they be able to bring few players on loan or with their limited sources its never been easy but if they fail to have any improvement then surely most chances they will be again in trouble like last season because now they are going to face tough teams in Champions League and their performance in La Liga is also not good.

Now, José Mendilibar after dream win of Europa Cup trying to bring few good changes and management is also favoring him with their way, hopefully we will have good performance from them.

Realization comes late after those people got scam. Most of them do background checking after they got compromised, if they just do their research before participating for sure they can avoid this problem. To many people could give their insights if they just ask since for sure for so many gamblers here staying in this forum for sure they will share their experience and feedback to the casino ask.

Also maybe he's just afraid to get scam for second time around since if the casino is proven scam there's no use for providing his KYC details since he might get more bigger problem with that.
Gamblers and every single market participant needs to learn that we do not enjoy the same kind of protections the fiat system gives us, if this was a problem with a fiat casino the OP could just open a dispute with their bank and they may be able to recover their money this way, but on this market we are our own banks and this signifies we need to protect ourselves as much as we can, and doing our due diligence before gambling at a new casino seems like one of the most basic things we could do to achieve this.
That is the exact point that most cryptocurrency gamblers avoid before joining a platform, people tend to get excited when they see very high bonuses being given by new platforms and forget that they might be a trap for them and what if they lose their money only to get that bonus, I know that you can always lose in gambling even if you are using a trusted platform, but that doesn't mean that you should go ahead and choose a platform you've never heard of.

A trusted platform will have a presence almost everywhere and they can be reached out easily and even if you face an issue, you will be able to get it solved because they won't just ignore you and take your money which might happen if you are using a new and untrustworthy platform.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: June 20, 2023, 01:20:55 PM
No casino would survive with that kind of system. While they may attract a lot of borrowers, the question remains: can they ensure that they will receive the payment? We are discussing online casinos, where most of us gamble anonymously, so the risk for the operator is very high.

I am aware that some land-based casinos have lenders, but they would not easily lend money without collateral. This collateral serves as assurance since its value is higher than the loan, and the interest rates are typically high. These lenders are often referred to as loan sharks.
Just like in our small store business before. We also allow people to shop for goods and they can pay it later on. Some pays longer like after two weeks while some pays after a month. The outcome is not great and our business fails later on. We have no choice but to have that kind of system because our business location is not good enough.

It wasn't placed in a really crowded area but it was only placed in our own backyard where the customers are mostly the people that we already know the most. The same thing could happen to a casino if they implement such scheme. An active flow of money is important because we will also use it to maintain our service.
1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: June 20, 2023, 11:29:10 AM
There are only a few gamblers that are really profitable in their journey as gamblers, but all of them once they win big, they invest it in business for sure so that they still have another source of income because if they keep winnings, then for sure the casino where they are gambling would file bankruptcy. Again, Gambling is a business, which is why a lot of us lose from it as it is made for fun and not for profit. You may win today, but for sure, tomorrow you'll lose more.
The profitabilities we could derived from having gambling experience will be either to have fun or make more income through gambling when we win, nevertheless one is more prominent than the other because it is by default and we determined it, this is the fun we created out of gambling, but we cannot judge or determine wether to win or not, the same is being applicable to the gambling operators or platforms, they created an avenue for us to achieve our goal while theirs as business enterprise is being achieved a long the line by making profits as well.
I wouldn't consider having fun to be a profitability metric at all, it is something different and has to do with your emotional well-being while earning profit simply means getting more money from the money being spent which is a very difficult thing to do when it comes to gambling. You might enjoy, have a good time, and get out happy after spending your money, but you will barely come out with both a happy face and some extra money with you.

If we talk about casino operators, for them, it's pure profit, whether we win or lose, they are always in profit because most of the gamblers utilizing their platform will be at a loss and that money goes into their pockets, so if you are a casino business owner, there is nothing to worry about at all.
1135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how to get over it on: June 20, 2023, 10:36:23 AM
How do I get over the countless failures? I’ve been chasing the $1,000,000 dream for years.
Your goal is just too high. Maybe you are being megalomaniac. Since it's a game of probabilities, they are against you and it's really likely you are going to fail over and over again on your desperate attempt of turning few thousands of dollar into a million. If you don't want to lose money, just decrease your final goal, but if you still want to keep that goal intact, don't feel bad about losing money, because you have to keep in mind you are trying a hardcore challenge which comes with extreme risks.
He could have achieved his dream already if he could modify it a bit, maybe to complete it in two attempts of $500,000 each round, because if he manages to reach a certain amount and then losses it all in a single bet, that hurts even more than not being able to achieve the goal in my opinion. One should at least keep a portion of the winnings aside so that they can try their luck again and if they could do it again, they should do the same thing again.

What he does is he doesn't spare any of the winnings and spends it all on the next game, and then when the bet is lost, all that he managed to make so far goes away and he is back to zero. If I was him, I would probably do it systematically without being emotional.
1136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Any airdrop hunters here need some leads on: June 20, 2023, 04:09:33 AM
The ZkSync has the best chance at having an airdrop but keep in mind it’s months away. And also the network is not cheap to interact.

Bridging is expensive and you need to bridge to both the zksync lite and zksync era networks. Also there are fees such as if you want to use Zksync Lite you need to pay to get the account activated to be able to send anything. And after a few times it adds up. The network is not cheap like Polygon.
I always heard of this project when it comes to airdrops, so maybe this project really has a potential. This wasn't new but it seems it will take some months again before they release the drop.

Well, it's clear that we need a patience here. Some of us already have that anyway. It was Bitcoin who taught us before, so it's going to be easy for now to do it in other projects. The next requirement would be is the capital because you said interacting on Zsync is not cheap? But if we have other cryptos and we think they are getting weaker, maybe we can sacrifice them here for a while for a better return. We can always re-invest on them later on if we still want to.
1137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Nations League final four ⚽ on: June 19, 2023, 05:51:31 PM
It was another heartbreaking loss for the Croatia National Team but the success Croatia has had over the years is unbelievable for a small country. The Croatia National Team should be proud of themselves. They reflect team play and team spirit to the fullest. They have achieved two finals and one semi-final success in the last five years with the football they played. Just they need a little more luck. The Spanish National Team conversely won the trophy eleven years later, after various disappointments. Wow.

I think this will be a big step for the future of the Spanish National Team. On the other hand both teams played great football throughout the match and i can say that i am saddened that Croatia lost. The team playing such a good football should have won the cup at the end of the final.
No doubt Spain is doing impressive in last few years, and they are also back on the track with this big win against team like Croatia which is currently the unluckiest team for me in Europe After the Netherlands because in last few years they have few good achievements even never able to win any trophy but still their performance is best.

We can expect good quality from them in coming years as well even right now they have few top quality players which are doing amazing for their country without any luck but keep going and having good results are also never been easy in European soccer which is having currently the best quality in the world.

But still good win for the Spain after one decade, hopefully things could be impressive in next year in Germany as well.

A draw is the last thing I am expecting in this match (except for the rain scenario). I am waiting for another surprise declaration from the Stokes, similar to Pindi's test.

We have a total of 180 overs but we can reduce this to 140-150 overs affairs due to a slow over-rate and breaks. Also won't rule out the T-20 approach with all out scenario for Poms.

I missed out on Moeen's drama with the ball.
Right now match is ended with rain is still going on and no chance for the play which mean from first three days now we already lost two sessions which are surely going to have big impact on this game England's approach to bazball were good, but their flat pitch hurt badly to this match which is surely going to have more decline in interest in they keep things like this because on flat tracks it's never been good and ideal cricket going to create some entertainment for the fans.

Australian done good with the help of Khawaja century, and now they are having two early wickets which are also good advantage for them if they are able to have few early wickets in tomorrow play then surely things could be in their favor because now England is surely going to under pressure after losing two early wickets and tomorrow first session is going to be vital for both teams.
1139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buy ETH as much as you can.... on: June 17, 2023, 03:19:03 PM
I see ETH to become next blessing in disguise, I remember when it was around $100 people condemned it not to go anywhere within the space of a month interval ETH shuck the price in 500% increase and today is about $1800 let's watch and see ETH will create unbreakable records, channel some useless coins you have to ETH and relax in future.
If you compared ETH to new projects that are hyped these days, they are even more profitable than this. But if we are talking about long-term investment, ETH is considered as one of the best coins to hold and suitable for such a thing. However, thinking that it grows fast and give us a huge profit, is something you don't need to think of as it is never like that. What is best for this when we are in long-term investment is that we know that it never turns scam, unlike these hyped and new projects.
Isn't that enough reason for people to buy ETH instead of new projects? We know that greed is not a good thing and it usually makes us lose money, so investing in new and hyped projects and meme coins only with the hope that they will generate quick profits for us might be a bad move because if they have the potential to generate high profits in a short period of time, they also have a high risk of eating your money.

Those who never underestimate the potential of ETH will always be happy with it, I remember when it was at $800 last year when Bitcoin crashed to almost $15k, now those who bought ETH at that price would have earned great profits when it recovered back to $2,400 earlier.

PSG seems to be very serious about reshuffling and streamlining their squad in the coming season, Neymar is very often injured, besides that his salary is also quite high so selling him is the wisest choice for PSG at this time so they don't lose (so that Neymar doesn't transfer freely or continues to get a blind salary)
Reportedly, Neymar's agents are approaching teams in the Arab League who may have an interest in buying Neymar, but so far no one has heard of dropping offers for Neymar, Neymar's future at PSG is increasingly uncertain.
After the poor end of last season things looking not good in PSG because now management is doing some good changes and trying to settle their budget as well which will give them better way of having things into their control Messi already gone Neymar is on sell and Mbappé saga is also on which mean if they bring few quality players which will help them for having better performance in Champions League much better than having stars into team which are not helpful in last few years.

But, if Mbappé also gone then surely this could be problem for them because they have no alternative for this which mean this club PSG will be having problems to have better results in French League as well hopefully we will have better news about this all in coming days, and they will be able to have better results in coming season as well in Champions League which is the biggest dream for them right now.
