1121  Economy / Gambling / Re: Restricted on casino bonuses on: October 02, 2023, 09:33:36 PM

This is my first time experiencing restrictions to a casino bonuses and other benefits for a loyal casino player. I become extremely lucky to this certain casino that makes me have a 20/20 winning percentage to all my deposit that ranging from 100% to 200% of my original deposit including the bonuses.

I'm expecting this restriction to happened to me since casino will surely doesn't allowed anyone consistently winning. I view this punishment as compliment since it's very rare to defeat a casino.

Playing without any VIP and bonus benefits on a casino is pretty dull because this feature gives player extra boost to our profitability. I decided to leave the casino and register to new one that gives me bonus. I'm just curious on why casino offer a bonus that they can't handle once user keeps winning using this. They can adjust the requirements to make it more competitive instead of removing all the benefits to user just because he keeps winning. It's not player problem if he is very lucky.

Sharing this experience to be an eye opener that we can't have a consistent profit on a casino without being restricted. Just enjoy the game and don't focus much on profit. In the end, I decided to just focus on trading and rest on gambling.

Going through this thread, I was just laughing althrough. How on earth do you give bonuses you know you cannot continue to sustain. I believe  you're not the only one that was sent this kind of message, they must have sent it to a lot of their customers because they are running into losses, why not just like you rightly said, adjust the bonus system at least not hundred percent maybe 20%  or 50% of every win.

They've understood that if they continue with that high marginal percentage they will continue to run into losses which is not good for the casino business, like they've said to you, you can win your normally stake win, but forget about bonuses. But In my years of gambling, I haven't come across such message sent to me by casino neither have I experienced such level of bonus percentage.

When I got to know about bitcoin from my friend last two month, she told me more about bitcoin, she also said investing in bitcoin is good. And she asked me to invest on bitcoin that it will be of help to me, she said for more guard she asked me to join this forum bitcointalk. And I accepted her request, so I decided to make some research about bitcoin and this forum bitcointalk because it takes a lot to join a forum, after making my research through the help of the internet I decided to create an account and join this forum. And to my biggest surprise the username has been used, so I used another name then it works.
I will be very much happy to acquire more knowledge in the forum. I am also planning to buy my first coins this week.

Your friend did a wise thing in advising you to invest in Bitcoin as bitcoin is one asset that can grow astronomically with time, but one thing you must understand is the fact that bitcoin requires your  time your patience to hodl before you can start making profit from your investment, as it's not a quick money making scheme.

It's also advisable for you to know what kind of investment that can suit you most, if its trading, or wanting to hold on to your assets till it grows gradually. Any of the options you wish to adopt, you will need to educate yourself about the best strategy suitable for you to go about it, the forum will even help to answer for some questions you would want to ask.

It's good to know that you want to buy your first bitcoin, that shows your really interested in investing, and becoming a practical bitcoiner rather, and that's a good one.
1123  Economy / Economics / Re: Honda Now Accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum As Payment Methods on: October 02, 2023, 04:24:37 PM
With such an opportunity to spend btc to buy luxury cars-
*Will you be willing to spend your btc to buy car from Honda? Or any other automobile company that will follow the Honda's part?

No, Bitcoin is my investment and I definitely don’t want to exchange it to a liability such as car that depreciates value over time. Exchanging fiat to Bitcoin will charge tons fee considering the amount involved is equals car value.

I’d rather use fiat or car loan to pay it slowly instead of liquidating my Bitcoin investments just to purchase car. This payment method is interesting if they can provide discounts exclusive for Bitcoin payment. With this benefits, I might spend my Bitcoin but in terms basis not one-time payment because I value my Bitcoin investments.

Is not as if they're jettisoning the idea of paying with your fiat, is it just that they are giving you an extra option of saying you can as well use your ethereum or your bitcoin to buy their cars,  I believe  they are just doing all of this to ease their payment structure inline with the modern reality.
I still believe they have the option of installmental payment because virtually every dealer has that option, but for them to bring in cryptocurrency payments options, it's a plus and something we should applaud.
1124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My regret for not adopting bitcoin earlier. on: October 02, 2023, 03:59:03 PM
I was introduced to bitcoin in 2013 by my friend, but I was skeptical about it. Back then I believed it was one of those investment schemes that usually crash within a short period of time . My friend tried everything he could to make me understand that bitcoin is the future of money, but I gave him no listening ears, he got tired of talking to me about bitcoin. I was waiting patiently for the day he will come crying to me that bitcoin has crashed and all his investments gone.
But to my biggest surprise and to my loss, I have been waiting for over a decade now and bitcoin has never crashed instead it has been gaining popularity and global adoption. My friend who first told me about bitcoin is now a millionaire in dollars. This happened before my very eyes and I have been a regret for not listening to him when he was talking to me about bitcoin. I haven’t made any significant progress in my financial life since then, but I was presented with the opportunity to change my narrative ten years ago but I couldn’t. Today marks it exactly ten years since my friend talked to me about bitcoin. I decided to take the bold step to adopt bitcoin and spread the knowledge to others. After reading many articles about bitcoin I have come to realize that bitcoin is the future of money. I have also learned the bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. But I am ready to start up this journey with due diligence and continuous learning because knowledge is power. I will do my best to promote bitcoin to the people around me, to the villages and communities around my region. I’m doing this so that people will get to know the truth as I don’t want others to have the regrets I have today. I want to give people the same opportunity that my friend gave me ten years ago. I will do my best and the choice is theirs to make. I will never give up on my quest to spread bitcoin to others. So help me God!!

In your quest to spread bitcoin to others, please I want you to understand that the scenario has changed, given to the fact that bitcoin at the moment is not as affordable as it was 10 years ago, today the amount of Bitcoin is a bit higher for a beginner compared to 10 years ago, where it was relatively cheap for a beginner to afford, so but then you can do the best you can in convincing or trying to talk to the few people you can because it's no longer a secret that bitcoin is an actual assets that people need to invest in it.
I still believe those early investors of bitcoin deserve every reward they are currently enjoying, at least for taking the risk in what other will ordinary admonish or wouldn't give a second thought about, so I give it to them.

I have iver 45 million wagered with stake and 20 million with bc, im looking to switch to a new sportsbook is there any on here that can handle decent limits, i contacted rollbit and a few others and they claim the provider increases them as they wish and theyre legit $200 for NCAAF lol

The money is huge, i bet you can hardly see a company that is ready to take in such a  humongous amount. With such high stakes, you could easily wipe out their coffers, I guess they are afraid too.
Even if they agree you to stake, They might just end up showing you a maximum win that is 1/3 of your entire stake.
1127  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Notification that you should never click on: October 01, 2023, 10:47:12 PM



For so many attempts to hack our wallet and any other platform accounts we should be aware that hackers will do all just to penetrate on our account so sample of this on the image provided and we should never click that since getting compromise or anything that you don't like might happen to us.





We should never get tempted or get curious to know about what random people sent to us on email or to the notifications sent by random apps so that we would not fall into their trap. Newbies are the targets of this frauds so they should remember than anything random offer is shady especially if they give huge money or bonus so start to doubt on what you read especially if you didn't participate on anything and most important of all don't download any random apps since you would provably receive a lot of this notifications.




This scammers are getting sophisticated day by day. The other day, a friend of mine was complaining bitterly how her WhatsApp app was hacked, I asked her what happened and she said, a random phone number that she's doesn't have on her contact list, sent her a link to click that she will win a price if she clicks on the link, she being naive and not knowing that this is the pattern scammers now use to deceive people, she went ahead and clicked on the link, immediately she did that, she was logged out of her WhatsApp app, and the person blocked her too, and they started using her WhatsApp to defraud her friend's on her WhatsApp, asking them for money and other gift items.

So nowadays, please don't click on link sent to you from an unverified or a random person, either by mail or text message, who knows, you could be clicking your death warrant. Let's be very careful out there, because this guy's are diving into the crypto space.
1128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin millionaire: Lucky or possesses more qualities that we don't have. on: October 01, 2023, 10:30:06 PM
_ Emotional control: one of the most difficult thing is controlling your emotions while you watch your assets fluctuates greatly, mostly if it's going down, without you pulling the plug out of fear, so i believe it's one of the key they have.

_Early tech exploration: They got into the industry very early which they took good advantage of, while others were guessing and still not confident about it. They bought Bitcoin at a very cheap rate when people where even afraid of spending a thousand box on it.

_ Long term perspective: They don't just buy, they look at it on the long run, they know when to take risk but at the same time they don't buy and sell with emotions.

_ Patience: they have the patience needed to steadily build their wealth over the long term.

That's just the whole secret, patient they say it's a virtue that anyone that wants to make wealth must have, because wealth comes in gradually especially for bitcoiners.

The early tech explorers, took one of the greatest risk anyone on a normal day wouldn't want to, and they've so far benefited immensely from there risk, they say no risk no reward.
Bitcoin is an asset that grows astronomically especially when you want to keep it so you can make wealth with it, else you can be trader which is also risky for those of them that not too grounded in trading.

They are also lucky too, to have the money to invest at that early time, because what if they didn't have the money to invest, so in as much as they have patience, they should also count themselves lucky for having the funds to invest.
1129  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Our naira no follow again on: October 01, 2023, 03:01:08 PM
I can still recall the good old days when one hundred naria can get you a plate of food, but look at our naira now, five and ten naira are totally useless, while five hundred naria can't get you a good plate of food.

As is stance now all our income is being invested into food, as if we only come to this life to eat food, because of the high cost of living.
I still don't know how dy want the common man to survive, and I also wonder how people without jobs are fairing, because even those with jobs are struggling massively.

Everyday price of things are increasing, fuel, kerosene and gas prices is too high, but we just can't do without them.

Today we are celebrating independence as if there is anything to celebrate for, the only thing worth celebrating is the gift of life.
Right now is just to hope and pray .

Anyway, na naija blood I be, E no get how e wan be wey e never be before, naija for life.

Funny enough my guy, as things be like this for the country, e get some people way dey benefit from this situation way we dey go through.

To strengthen the Naira, plenty things dey we our country suppose dey do.
Federal government say in a bid to strengthen the Naira and the economy, say them go float the Naira and also remove fuel subsidy.
Omo this two decision way our government take, don turn our currency from 1 dollar 758,  to 1000, the subsidy other hand come make inflation dey high, transportation and goods and services don high watin no good.
All this na as a result of not well thought out decision way our government dey take. If we wan strengthen the Naira, we need to increase productivity, in all aspect of the economy.

          Tottenham Hotspur Vs Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool lock horns in a premier league derby,  which seems to be the match of the day with son taking the lead for Tottenham and also taking advantage of ten man Liverpool side, as the reds had one of the player sent off for stamping a Tottenham player. From all indications Tottenham seem to be in control of the game as James Madison and his team mate richarlison are wrecking havoc in the defence line of the reds causing several upsets.on the other hand the Liverpool trying hard to back into the game by forcing a double save out of Tottenham goal keeper and also finally getting an equaliser with a wonderful turning shot by gakpo getting Liverpool back into the game.
It would have been 2-1 this first half in favour of Liverpool if not for that disallowed Diaz goal.
1131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 30, 2023, 04:08:59 PM
Wolves beating the defending champion Manchester city, is something I didn't see coming, I believe a lot of people too didn't.
That's just the beauty of the game of football, the two biggest teams in Manchester dropping points to lesser teams today isn't funny at all.
For Manchester city, I would just say wolves where just lucky, but crystal palace played brilliantly that first half of the game, as Manchester United where the good side at second half but then palace had the day.
1132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 30, 2023, 03:37:28 PM
For this second half, the work rate of Manchester United has greatly improved, because the midfield has been conquered  by Manchester United, though garnacho presence might just make a difference hopefully.
Crystal palace goal keeper has gotten some brilliant saves there, this pressure on the keeper is because the Manchester United are now forcing the attack now than ever. The cross over by Dallot would have been a beautiful goal if mount was just careful with his header.
 Another thing I noticed about United, is that they don't really have a creative player that can make dribbles and passess to help the strikers to score. Palace might just end up winning this game from all indications

1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 30, 2023, 02:58:16 PM
Manchester United Vs crystal palace

I'm a bit hopeful that United will make out something from this match, casemiro  and Fernandez are really doing a fantastic job.
Jordan ayew, metatela and eze are seriously making that midfield a hard one for united.
I feel rashford should be substituted, his not in this game, at least what I've seen this first half. Manchester United haven't done much to show that they are the home team against a much lesser side of crystal palace, losing 1-0 this first half because palace might just tighten things up at the second half who knows.


1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 29, 2023, 08:33:44 PM
The game is very intense this second half, as Barca has shown much dominance and repeated attacks. Sergio Ramos presence at Sevilla defence is really giving the team some confidence. That's experience in display.
Lewandowski has really shown a great effort to score but the Sevilla goalie is another brilliant keeper mounting egd to edge on the goal post, at 72 minutes and his still keeping a clean sheet on this game with so much pressure from Barcelona.
1135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 29, 2023, 07:29:05 PM

It's quite impossible for sevilla to win the game but barcelone shall also be careful to anticipate the surprises that may come from sevilla anytime. I hope that sevilla will play even better than the previous season caused by sevilla needs to boost its club now.
Seeing sevilla performed so badly was a classic thing but i hope if the club will able to make some changes.
Nothing is impossible in football, because in football anything can happen, even though the two clubs that will meet display very different statistics.
I think it's clear that Barcelona will dominate the game, because that's what they're used to.
I also hope the same, hope Sevilla can play well, yes at least they can break every attack that Barcelona will launch. Winning is a very difficult thing for them to get, so a draw is a good result for them to get in this match. Their target does not need to be too big, although victory is the best thing.
While Barcelona has 17 points in the league, Sevilla has only 7 points, and Barça is doing really well these days. Real Madrid lost points, while Barcelona continued to maintain its form. Now I expect the same from them against Sevilla. They get an easy win against Sevilla and show once again that they are the biggest favorites for the championship.

Barcelona team is much stronger than Sevilla at the moment. The performance of the Sevilla team is now very poor. But let's not forget that this team is very experienced. They won the Europa League last season. And so if Barcelona make any mistakes in this match, they are likely to lose points. Barcelona are favorites in this match but they have to perform very carefully. Sevilla usually play defensive tactics. And so Barcelona should adopt an attacking strategy in this match. Barcelona dropped points against Mallorca in the last match. And so if Barcelona wants to stay in the title fight, they have to get full points in this match. If not, the team will fall further behind Real Madrid.
I'm just looking at Rakatic profound performance against his former club and I'm forced to smile.
Sevilla defence are seriously giving Joe Felix and the Barcelona frontliners serious marking.
Joe Felix is gambling this game with that kind of shot at the 16 yard box, that was a goal but the shot was too much at that close range, he could at least pass that ball.
So far, Sevilla is really trying to contain Barcelona this first half,  I didn't expect this kind of performance from them, I hope they maintain the momentum till the end of the first half.


1136  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let fear to lose be motivation to learn on: September 29, 2023, 06:18:51 PM
Since I know cryptocurrency my biggest fear is to lost all my capital or large amounts in trading or investment, because of the fear in me I don't do things that I'm not sure of or things I don't know. My fear to lose have always been a motivation or a reason for me to know things concerning cryptocurrency,  I fear to start trading when I'm of myself that I know nothing to trade , fear to start investment when I know that I don't have a source of income.

My fear have been a motivation to learn,  even If I start trading I may lose but not to lose everything because of the understanding I have. My fear to lose have always made me to take the right decisions and not to make money money my first ultimate in trading and investment but understanding as my first priority.

I know some of my mates who are into  cryptocurrency that phobia to lose but even with the fear to lose they still go ahead to trade. If beginners allows their fear to motivate them to learn first their won't be drastic lose in trading.


You don't need to be afraid of losing your money in trading, because it will surely happen, I remember my first time in Forex trading, I burnt my fingers, my coach then, told me it's very Ok, but it wasn't a large sum, it was just little as a beginner.

As first time trader, you just need to start with a little amount so you can know those mistakes you've made and learn how to avoid it.
Don't be too afraid, there is always victory at the other side of fair, fair is the veil that is in front of your goals, once you remove the veil you will see your dreams coming to reality. But try as much possible to equip yourself with knowledgeable trading skills, like do more your self-education.
1137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I smell fear... on: September 29, 2023, 04:39:03 PM
I saw this on twitter as made by Robert Kiyosaki and I found the idea laughable. Unfortunately I couldn't get a direct link for the screenshot so am using the information at the top of the image as my source..


I smell fear in this statement, fear of the government and it's co-partners about the extent of the financial freedom and privacy bitcoin has without regulatory policies handed over to people. And this freedom is looking like a threat to the government's sit of economic control creating all sorts of lies trying to deceive bitcoiners in giving out their freedom in exchange for a promising bitcoin priceless value.

We know cbdc with their inimical monetary policy control on distribution and issuance. There's no privacy in financial transactions with CDBC individuals financial details are easily accessible at anytime.

In a digital world where privacy is a key challenge having CDBC gain access and saturate the bitcoin market will only mean doom for bitcoin vision.

IMO  bitcoin doesn't have to become priceless only when cdbc enters the market, as for me bitcoin is already a priceless asset to my use I don't know about you.

I feel they just want to use Robert Kawasaki to see if they can make a point and make it look unique, More like this statement is coming from reputable individual. We've seen a lot people predict worse on bitcoin yet bitcoin has been waxing stronger.
ordinarily CBDC is government controlled and doesn't have that decentralized uniqueness of Bitcoin hence if people drift over to CBDC their financial activities will no be private as it  with bitcoin.
Here in Nigeria, government has launched, CBDC coin yet nobody has asked how that coin works or even used it, even among cryptocurrency enthusiast like us. So Robert kiyosaki should take a chill pill.

1140  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Before You Send Your Bitcoin To Hardware Wallets I Do This! on: September 29, 2023, 08:04:44 AM
Not your keys, Not your coins but You should know this before moving your coins from CEXs, because most of you buy hardware wallets and use them right away without first testing them. Many Bitcoiners have lost their funds in the past due to a bad hardware wallet because they neglected to employ these easy crypto techniques; Do not trust, Only Verify!!!

Step 1.

Don't send your Bitcoin to a hardware wallet until you've thoroughly tested it. Taking your entire Bitcoin balance from your Exchange wallet and sending it to your ledger( cold storage ) without knowing what you're doing is extremely risky. First, you ought to send a small amount of bitcoin to your hardware wallet. Keep an eye out for it to appear there. Wipe your hardware wallet clean, factory reset it, and re-enter your seed phrase into your hardware wallet, plug it back into your computer, and check to see if your bitcoins are still sitting in your wallet as you believe.
 
Step 2.

Then send it back to the exchange. Check that you can receive and send Bitcoin, that you can wipe your device, that you can re-enter your seed phrase, and that everything still works. Do this with the smallest amount you can afford to lose; it is better to lose a single cent than your entire savings. Before sending all of your assets, make sure your hardware wallet is working.





Also, make a habit of distributing your assets over many hardware wallets; do not keep all of your coins in one location.


The precautions technique you want to apply it's a wise one, I understand that the whole idea is keep your your coins safe and secured.
But you don't really have to go through all this huddle's to keep your coins safe.

You just need to get a reputable hardware company that has stood the test of time and people can attest to it, and save you your coins there, a very good example of such hardware wallet is electrum.
What you should also have in mind is your ability to keep your seed phrase a top secret.
