Earlier this morning I was going to work in a bus I over heard, some one complaining very badly that if the government tries to put an end to gambling. That many people will die in hungry with this our economy which nothing is working, no work for people food are at higher amount in their and some people are benefiting from gambling this days, that mostly him his benefiting from gambling.
That with $200 he can stake and win about $100000 daily something that you won't even struggle to get, they can't even pay someone at work monthly up to that amount. So if their is no more online gambling that means definitely there won't be no more gambling at all. So how will you cope in your country if eventually they put an end to online gambling?
Wel just because he can stake "200 and win about 100000" doesn't necessarily mean that's what people are doing and wining. I guess it depends on what country you live in, but here in the United States gambling has only become more and more accepted/legal and it's going at a fever pitch. Let's say your government does ban online betting for good, you've still got the option to use a VPN and online casinos. |

What's everyone doing for Bitcoin Pizza Day (BPD) 2024? The best tagline I've heard so far is: "14 years ago, you could buy pizza for 10,000 bitcoins... now you can buy 10,000 pizzas for 1 bitcoin!" I will be at Scratch Restaurant from 11am until 1pm. This is my flagship location that has been accepting bitcoin since 2018! Then, in the afternoon, we will head to Higher Heights Fitness for a crypto 101 discussion from 2pm until 3pm. https://www.facebook.com/events/362670259601793/Hope you can join if you're near me. Otherwise, share your plans here! I don't use facebook anymore so I am unable to see the time/date/location details outside of what you've shared in your post here, but this is really cool of you to do, and I hope you gets at least a person or two to join you. Fun fact.. most people don't realize that Laszlo actually ended up trading around 35,000 bitcoins for several pizza deals, instead of just the 10k most people think he spent. Kind of crazy! |

"more and more, I'm seeing people wanting to pay Bitcoin, and you're seeing something that's interesting, so I can live with it one way or the other". I mean this is kind of funny coming from someone who's sold a bunch of NFTs, so he's obviously aware of the blockchain. Not that I think he understands any of it, I just think it's kind of funny when he says "I can live with it".
I'm not sure his "pro" bitcoin stance will really make much of a difference in it's price.

Hi ,
I have a friend, although we get along very well, sometimes you find us getting into heated discussions, and I do not consider this a misunderstanding ,each one has a different point of view than the other on some topics, and this is what makes talking to him very interesting, by looking the huge amount of informations that we get on it, whether on his part or on my part.
But we always end the debates by making a bet, knowing that he is not a gambler, and the informations he has about gambling comes to him through me, and he realizes very well that if he enters into a bet with me, I will take his money, but when he is confident in what he says, you find him the first to present the idea and on his own terms.
While betting become the only solution to our discussions sometimes you find us betting on trivial and meaningless things, and with regard to the profit from those bets, it is simple for example : on the restaurant bill, where the loser invites the winner to dinner and pays, but sometimes when we bet With money, there is no winner among us, and you find that one of us turns against the other, or the winner returns the money to the loser, as we realize very well that none of us can take the other’s money.
Bets with him are always great entertainment and I always have good times and funny moments .
Do you make bets with your friends?
What do you think about this experience ?
I guess as long as this betting doesn't imped on your friendship, then it's no big deal. I have a couple friends where I'm constantly making bets like this with. Typically we would bet a steak dinner (when I ate meat) and it's gotten to the point where he just owe me a whole cow lol. But it never hurts our friendship and is in good fun. A fun betting/gambling game to play when you're out to eat is "credit card roulette" where you all put a credit card in a hate, and if you're card gets pulled, then you owe the entire dinner bill. Can be fun! |

This is one of the reasons I don't like playing certain games on online casinos. I mean there are online casinos that I certainly trust more than others, but over all making sure they are "provably fair" seems a little difficult to verify with certain casinos. I myself like playing games against other IRL people (not an automated bot of whatever) or just doing sports betting, which of course is provably fair.

At the time that I had found out about bitcoin, there was very few people actually speaking about and promoting it. “Way” back in 2013ish timeframe very few people had still yet to have heard of bitcoin and there certainly wasn’t tickers scrolling the current price of bitcoin at the bottom of all financial news outlets such as CNBC, for example. It was a very different time back then.

On thing that people often like to say is a mistake is the fact that I studied bitcoin for at least one year before every buying any. It was probably somewhere around the year 2013 and I had come to learn of bitcoin, and it's breakthrough technology, but I was still skeptical and didn't really know what to make of it so I studied it for a year. I read Mastering Bitcoin, Digital Gold and any other book /news article etc I could get on bitcoin and continued to study it before ever buying. I think it was smart, other say a mistake..you be the judge I guess.

Got this email 5 days ago:  One of my friends really misses the NFL. He's really jonesing for action, even though we've still got a long ways to go. Betting it all on the Chiefs to win the SB again. /s I thought that these emails were automatically sent out by the leagues, but I guess if they are going out right now, then the league manager probably sent them out ahead of time..which is kind of funny. I can't say I totally blame them, I'm jonesing for some NFL football myself. Been a heck of an offseason for my Bears, and at least as of right now I can pretend as if nothing but great things are ahead for us! |

While I certainly have a heart for anyone that is struggling with any sort of addiction, and gambling addiction is no different, I'm not sure you can really blame the casinos here for this man losing this massive fortune. I mean sure they could be using "suspect" tactics to lure people in to their casinos, but no one HAS to gamble at their casinos, and everyone has free will to come and go as they please. Still, very sad.

For me knowing more about actual sports than gambling techniques or styles or whatever you want to call them is a bigger deal. I may not be an expert tactician when it comes to placing bets and im sure that hurts my potential upside with gambling, but knowing the sports I’m betting on it a far bigger deal. For example I know NFL football well and am able to bet pretty successfully each year because I know the sport so well. If I knew more about gambling and had more of an expertise is it, sure maybe I could be making even more. But if I didn’t know shit about the game, id do horrible regardless.

I know that for the most part here in the United States that the majority of people here do know about bitcoin. Working in finance it’s a topic that comes up a good bit, so I know that the majority of Americans are aware of bitcoin, what it is and know the basics of how it works. Just like with anything of course not everyone knows about what it is.

lol Anthony Edwards is NOT the second coming of Michael Jordan. We gotta stop talking about this nonsensical topic. He's got to win a championship before this even remotely up for debate.
That said, it's exciting to see teams that are left are not the "normal" teams that you typically see in the Championships. We don't have the Lakers or the Warriors etc. It's refreshing to see a bit of "new blood". Excited to see how things play out.

As a financial guy I tell all my clients that you should try and save at least 15-20% of your earned income towards retirement. If you can save more, than certainly do so. Run a monthly budget AT LEAST once a year, making sure you're saving as much as you potentially could be. Then make sure to do everything you can to be saving money (cut coupons, sign up for rewards apps, and things of this nature..it can go a LONG way).

What in the FUCK does Snowden know about cryptography and bitcoins blockchain. He was pro-bitcoin for a short while, then started talking a lot of shit about bitcoin years back.
Privacy features are a delicate thing for bitcoin. Personally I would LOVE for bitcoin to be like anonymous like Monero, but it's not realistic for it's long term future. If it were anonymous, governments would shut down the exchanges within their borders, putting a massive clamp down on it's potential and future upside.

I'm curious how many of ya'll think that this is a pre-determined rigged fight? An honest assessment, as it's easy to just say "yeah, it's rigged". Do you think it is, or do you think it's not? I'm on the fence. On one hand, the money for both, win, lose or draw is going to be so massive that I don't think either would care if it was a rigged match (at least Paul wouldn't give a crap, but Tyson might). July events of note...1) Deadpool & Wolverine 2)Jake Paul vs Tyson  |

Online casino rewards I have always found to be "kind of" nice, but there also always seems to be some sort of catch, like having to bet a bunch more just to get the "free bonus funds' to be used. I like IRL (in real life) rewards much better. Often that's things like being comped a hotel room, for example. Now often that's from either winning a lot of losing a lot, but they are tangible rewards that I get to utilize right away.

As I often mention here on bitcointalk, do not take financial advice from those whom aren't qualified to give it (which is the vast majority of people here). That being said, gambling really shouldn't be anything more than a fun bit of entertainment to most people, like going to a movie for example. So for most people there really probably shouldn't be a set "percentage" of your salary that is used, rather just a dollar amount you're willing to lose, weekly, monthly or whatever.

As someone who works in finance bitcoin for me was and has always been about change in the way money works. I have come to learn through my professional career what a scam big banks are. How corrupt big banks are (JP Morgan Chase with 40 billion in financial fraud violations since the year 2000 for example). Bitcoins' decentralized nature is what really attracted me to it, and CHANGE is what I would say bitcoin is for me.

I "found" or found out about bitcoin back in 2013 or 2014. I wish I could remember exactly which year and exactly how I found it, but those details are a bit cloudy. That said, I was "preaching" from the high heavens about bitcoin long before most people had ever even heard about it. I never directly tried to influence most anyone but I certainly influenced people indirectly, simply explaining all the benefits of bitcoin and why it was/is such a huge breakthrough technology.

I definitely did not see Wolves going up 2-0 against Nuggets AT ALL! That is seriously incredible, this Anthony Edwards dude is doing way too much, like way more than I could ever imagine, and I am not just talking about offense, he is great there of course, but he is great at defense as well.
I can see the comparisons to MJ to be fair, not about talent or level but about the playstyle that they had on their early years. I am not saying Wolves will win the title, but I think it looks quite obvious that we are going to end up with seeing them do quite well, and maybe even have that chance. Celtics look like they do not have much competition at east this season, it would require a big upset for them to not be at the finals, and I think they may even have a chance to win the whole thing.
Anthony Edwards certainly is a talented player and very exciting to watch. If you haven't see the Adam Sandler move "Hustle" I would definitely recommend in doing so. It's an awesome basketball movie and I don't want to give too much away but Anthony Edwards so of plays the protagonist in the film. One of the better basketball movies to come out in some time. |
