Yup. It's pretty easy to identify where the IP location is (and VPNs usually bade your connections after all to where you want to connect from) so it's pretty easy to match. Even outside of that, comparing IPs used can be a flag as well if done so.

Even if it was Dynamic IP (which is what ISPs usually give out) it's still tied to a country. Who knows, there might also be some system that stores the og ip registration and if it was changed, compares then if country registered is different, flags the account (or maybe the IP itself).

Ehh Idk, man DCA'd for 1 1/2 year, I don't think he'd be dumb enough to sell it all at once at a loss that big. He probably separated it into different wallets or something similar to that, or maybe just a new strategy he's trying out. Definitely don't think he sold it though. Plus with the amount of money he has, I don't think a financial advisor would be that hard to get and they should know about the cycles of the Bitcoin market, even if it was simply basing it off of history.

That, or some kind of emergency took place that needed this amount of money but what could possibly need that much?

I didn't use any method (or maybe I did, I just don't really know the name), but I just tended to avoid incurring any debts as much as possible when I'm under one. Of the ones I'm in, I try to pay the one with the biggest interest rate first then slowly whittle it down from there. I never try to reduce the payments I pull out from my wages, It's always the same regardless of how many debts I have so that I can pay it a lot quicker, making me pay less in the long run. I frown upon trying to take debts under me, regardless of how beneficial they can be for me for now. It just doesn't sit well with me imo. Well things might change in the long run depending on how much I learn more about stuff like this, but for now? Big no no.

To be fair, you actually don't. A lot of the boomed meme coins were artificially inflated, possibly together with some whales or a group taking action and trying to sway the market. At least, initially anyway. The wave that followed was simply because of people's FOMO and by then, the group that started it would basically profit no matter what. A community doesn't necessarily have one of those people, who bootstart the process. Having a big community (not too big) can help though in someone trying to identify if they should do something like that again or not.

Though without any future telling abilities, if you were to decide to invest in a meme coin, look at it's popularity, simple as that. The amount of articles, clicks attention, and whatnot. A meme coin booming would naturally make the news across all platforms since, well, it's a memecoin. That boomed.

Well the question is related to BTC, such as "Should they buy BTC" after all, so I reckon the answer of just buy it is actually more than enough of an answer. After all, considering the positions of early investors, I don't think they've made a loss if they've continued hodling till now. Criteria for choosing another "Bitcoin" though? Kinda hard to give since it's been a decade and Bitcoin's still the king. The rest of the coins that were released are either shitcoins, or Bitcoin but with caveats (as well as its own advantages, but caveats still are above it imo). If it was just choosing another coin, well that depends now on how well us as investors can actually understand what they want to do and what their plans are.

I believe helping new investors achieve what they want is close to nill, at least in the short term. A lot of money is lost in the process of learning to invest, and I highly doubt they'd stay after losing a few thousands of bucks. If they stay though, that just means they're prepared to lose more, not necessarily achieving their goals immediately.

Well it puts an end to his problem, and not to sound cold or anything, but the dead don't particularly give a damn about the living. Dumb decision-making results in dumb results sadly enough. While I do pity the family, I don't think I have any for the kid himself. The result was caused by his own greed, not even hesitating in trying to include his friend in the case. He couldn't, or rather didn't dare face the consequences of his own actions.

While I think 22 is still young, it's at that age when you start thinking for yourself, and responsibilities and whatnot should slowly be placed on your shoulders, or at least, the significance of it. And considering all things, with how his parents seem to be quite kind, I doubt a scolding from them would be the end of the world, but hey, as I said, he's 22, pretty young.

Most (if not all) of the stats you need/want are actually generated/summarized by the community themselves via (afaik) API's released by the devs or something similar to that. This should be the case for monthly users or stuff related to that. For the game's specific coin usage, adoption, growth, etc., I believe sites where the coin of the game is registered such as Coingecko or coinmarketcap should be enough as sources. Just, gotta stretch some of that muscle to summarize it all. If they were relatively new though then their coin might not even be registered at all, so you just have to wait for those instances.

If you're THAT lazy, then hire someone who knows how to use the chatgpt plugins so the AI itself can access live public data, and return to you a summarized version of it.

Hey, at least it was a thrill... I hope. Well, it is money that was earned from gambling so ehhh, I'd consider nothing was lost really. Turning $4k into $90k is quite a feat though, seeing as you bet all in in one match I'm rather curious if you did the same from the initial to 90k, or just slowly built it up and decided to go yolo for once after all that careful betting (which can be rather boring). Don't lose hope though! I reckon you aren't though, since the vibe of the update seems like you're still gonna come back to gambling lmao. Good luck to OP again~

Ehh his money his rules. Ofc if this was money deposited, I wouldn't be here rambling about this. BUT, it was money won, technically nothing was originally his(except for the initial $4k).

Ehh, I don't really think we'd be getting anything big for the next 1-2 months. At most, we'd probably go to $30k then just go the usual steady stuff that we have right now, maybe dipping back to 28, 29k every now and then. At least just based on any significant news that I know of, there's nothing that particularly concerns the crypto market, or nothing that would affect it on a big scale. Might be more active in maybe in the latter end of the year? Hopefully not in a negative way.

Uhm no? Why would I force myself to play when there's other possible options I can play on? If there wasn't, well as much as I say gambling is for enjoyment it does involve money so nah, I'm fine with not playing. If it were for free though, like what I do to access some specific beta test of some games, then hell yea I'd do it.

Imo it isn't really controversial, it's just kind ass how some casinos change their ToS to suddenly rejecting VPN, or somehow flagging you for multi accounting, which can happen due to how VPN works afaik when in the first place THEY should know how VPN works. Well that is if VPN is allowed in the first place. If it wasn't, then yea I really don't think I would or even risk it.

Well... What you're doing is a good start for one. Asking for advice from your users (or even strangers really) isn't really going to hurt you, you just got to filter out proper advice from, well, dumb ones. It at least opens up your project as community friendly and pretty open as well. Other than that, well, it should depend on what your project aims to actually be since improvements will come from understanding what it wants, and where it is right now.

Priority for now might be to complete your team first then do some internal review. I highly doubt investors would come if the team itself isn't exactly developed/complete, regardless of how minor some of the other roles could possibly be.

I mean, you can. Most altcoins are short lived anyway, you're better off trying to profit off of them at a say a month or two max, anything longer would just give diminishing returns, well at least for most coins, but hey if they really were good, it wouldn't be too late to invest on it again after at least guaranteeing that you've profited.

I definitely would avoid investing in altcoins for the long term though. I'd only ever know if it was a good investment for one in the future, and judging by the number of new altcoins, I wouldn't really take my chances.

It's actually pretty easy to notice if someone's going past the limits or is being addicted, some simple stuff that you'd often do as a kid, like asking nonchalantly for money, being impulsive, lying, stuff like that. It's like your attitude turns into a brat once a certain activity, in this case gambling comes up. I basically told myself when making decisions to grow up so as to avoid doing dumb stuff.

The simple idea of only depositing once per session, with a fixed amount every time should fix most of the problems imo. It's my method at least of putting in money I'd use to gamble anw.

...because it's not supposed to be a source in the first place? Casinos can be likened to cafes, restaurants, pitching places, golf courses, etc. They all COST money, and they return something called "enjoyment".

Now it varies from place to place but gambling returns said enjoyment as money, but said return is also involved in a process, so it isn't actually a guarantee return. More like a bonus so to speak, because the games are oversimplified to the point where without the thrill of winning something, in this case money, there'd be no point in actually playing.

Who knows. I handle data within my company and I know myself that it isn't 100 safe from being exposed, I reckon gambling companies are the same as well. I've rarely played on casinos nowadays but back then I really didn't mind KYC, I don't think I still do really (If preferable then no kyc ofc). I've never felt cheated though.

That dosnt mean I don't care though. Is why I mostly play on casinos that are well known. Their rep is pretty much the only basis I can use after all.

Ehh I guess AR/VR can come in handy at some point, but I reckon it only caters to a niche audience? I mean it is a nice add-on for those who want it, but I'd say those are in the minority so I highly doubt they'd want to implement it just based on the minority.

AIs, well, they can serve as the host, maybe even an opponent. Or maybe just generate a random zero sum game with each instance if possible. I'd bet on it being an opponent though, just to see whether math can feat over luck.

First, it wasn't "safe" for you to become a millionaire back then. It seems safe compared to now because we KNOW what's going to happen already, so don't be dumb enough to assume that that's always the case. Second, it seemed like "modest" investments now, but with the same logic as the first, it only seemed like it. I mean, would it seem modest to invest thousands of dollars on an unknown currency that popped up all of a sudden without any company backing it?

Any altcoin could potentially give you big profit, the margin of growth in new coins is a lot bigger in comparison to old coins after all, but at the same time, just like when Bitcoin was new, the risk is comparatively higher compared to well-known ones. As for Bitcoin making you a millionaire, who knows? It may be a modest growth, or maybe even none at all. I'd suggest just doing DCA though instead if possible.

See that's the thing, you're supposed to stop thinking about your bankroll altogether when you deposit money. Whatever money I deposit in casinos, I consider spent/lost already. I don't actively try to make it bigger or even withdraw it really, it just stays there. If leftovers were left due to being lucky and winning, then I subtract that amount to my usual deposit amount instead.

I would've probably withdrawn in a big win instance, sadly I've yet to experience one so it's just one big money sink, which I'm aware of ofc and I accept it. It's the expense for having fun imo.

If I was addicted, then maybe. Just that I doubt the efficiency of "hypnosis" in actually treating it. Also doesn't help how I've never seen hypnosis being used as a treatment, or how it works even. This is me thinking rationally though, and I dont think you'd consider addicts as rational beings, otherwise addiction would've never gotten the best of them.

I'd probably just outright deny I was addicted. Or even if I did admit it, I'd choose alternatives first since hypnosis seems like it'd make me forget about gambling altogether,  unlike fixing the core problem instead which would still let me gamble, albeit more lightly.

I don't think people don't expect alts to follow when Bitcoin crashes, more like there's more room for profit in altcoins than Bitcoin. We may say that the crypto market is highly volatile, but Bitcoin isn't really that volatile compared to what it was in the past, or what other altcoins can grow into. A 1000% chance of growth is something pretty unrealistic that we'd probably never get to see again in the Bitcoin market, but it isn't exactly impossible with alts, with how some meme coins are even able to get said numbers.

I also highly doubt we'd ever see investors grow doubtful of crypto, since by the time that that's possible, it would've grown to what it was actually intended to be, a currency.
