1281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: March 26, 2023, 09:59:17 PM
It's a waste of time if your affiliates are not depositing. But if they are playing, then you will get commissions... how come did that became a waste of time?
As what have said before, claiming the reward is extremely easy. No time is wasted.
Exactly. The fact that you will get commission once they decide to enter and play, I think that is already an advantage for you. You can already enjoy a free bet or whatever kind of reward that the casino will credit to you. It will only be wasted if you cannot enjoy the reward. And if you are just playing in a legal casino, you will eventually get those referral bonuses easily, like you can also lose them easily lol.
1282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: March 26, 2023, 09:35:31 PM
Chasing losses for closure? That's just a silly justification to me. Any person who thinks that way is already considered a gambling addict in my book and is only finding absurd reasons why he keeps on betting. I can confidently say that there will be no closure even after he manages to get a winning streak. He will still gamble his winnings until he loses again. The cycle continues......
True, totally an absurd mindset. Once you learn to gamble and you develop deep addiction from it, you will never find closure from all your bets, regardless if you win or lose in the process. If you win, you will chase for bigger profits, if you lose, you will still chase to recover your losses. So there’s no closure in gambling, you will never stop gambling unless you decide to from quitting from gambling.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does your country tax your gambling winnings? on: March 26, 2023, 09:20:31 PM
I live in Australia and we have no taxes on all gambling winnings (lottery, hose racing, sports betting and casinos).
I know the USA has gambling taxes and I think it's ridiculous.
You are risking your own money and if you win you are penalised.
I'm curious as to how many other users have to pay taxes on their winnings.
In our country Philippines, all forms of gambling are being taxable except for those not legalized games. Like for lottery, if your winnings will exceed 10k, they are subject for 20% tax deduction. But below 10k winnings, you can always claim the full amount of what you had won. I guess for me that’s not bad at all, at least you can always give help to the charity.
1284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stay humble and go your own way (invest in yourself) - the best strategy of 2022 on: March 26, 2023, 08:59:26 PM
Best of all, sticking with your plan. It's easy to have such a list and plan to follow it, but actually following it in the long-term is the harder part. People often underestimate how emotions(fomo, panic, etc) can easily mess up a person's plans.
There are always obstacles that we often met along the way while we are reaching our goals, but if we can stick to the original plan and focus on it, we will sure to succeed particularly in long term investment. Mostly, if we are not strong enough to face different emotions, we suddenly fall and quit, but if we are determined enough to  beat them and stick to the plan, we will always succeed in the long run.
1285  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Too late to start? on: March 25, 2023, 10:39:57 PM
you've joined this forum since 2019 and you just asked if it's too late to start investing in crypto?
If you don't start right away you will keep running late and you will be abandoned by other users. 2017 when you know about crypto you should have started to think that crypto continues to grow especially bitcoin. Take a look at bitcoin's journey from 2017, you must already know that price fluctuations and increases in bitcoin prices are extraordinary. Then what still makes you doubt?
If you don't start now, then when?
If you stay on that mindset thinking that it’s too late for you to invest in crypto, then you will always miss the opportunities to invest and be profitable in the future. But if you start taking the risk now while the market is giving us a good entry, you will have all the chances to grow your investment and reap what you sow in the next years. If you have studied how bitcoin started and how its price has prosper throughout the years, then you will never hesitate to invest, and enter crypto investment now. There’s no late in crypto, you only have to enter at its best market entry so you will make the best of your investment and enjoy the profits at its fullest.

Use the full potential for security that's all people are tired and they don't want to use those features as one of the functions that could project with their assets.

As long as you can make a changes with that small mistake habit there's a chance you will make your funds more secure. My suggestion and ideal to use is with the hardware wallet and make a good storage for your seed.
If we can help ourselves not to be used from that small mistakes, then we can avoid the chance to get hack in the future. Most of the time, the reason we get hack or scam is because we are too confident to trust other family members or close friends to access our own account, without thinking that it could put us in danger in the future. But if we become too cautious and responsible to secure our privacy, I guess that’s really possible by not trusting anyone and by choosing a hardware wallet that makes our coins more safe and secured.
1287  Economy / Economics / Re: Lending money or damaging family bond ? on: March 25, 2023, 09:45:10 PM
One big lesson I've learnt in life about lending money is that the whenever you want to lend money to a family member or friend who you don't trust his financial worthiness, the amount should not be more than what you can let go for him/her. Some family members will or friends do borrow money they perfectly know in their herat that they are not gonna pay back. So instead allowing a lended money to damage family bond, it's better not to lend in the first place

Another lesson is that when you lend money to a relative, never expect that they will pay you back.  This often happens within the family and relatives but whatever it takes, I would rather be the one on the giving end than on the receiving end.  I will still lend money even if there is no way to get it back.  He is my relative after all.  We have been generous to our friends, what more to our kin especially when they are in times of trouble.

No matter what @OP situation is I can only conclude that money is more important than his relative because he worries more about the payment than the situation of his cousin.  Grin
He could have lend him some money even at a small amount, at least his cousin will not feel bad at all knowing his finances are doing well. And to think that his cousin is jobless that time, so it’s obvious that he’s in trouble with his finances, lending him even with a minimal amount is a lot help already. I just hope that family would be our first priority, than anything else, particularly with money matters.
1288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin loan for students in higher institution. on: March 25, 2023, 09:30:52 PM
Good day guys; I said  let me know if the forum have a board where students are being support in education by giving them student loan To help them in education, so many members here I believe are students in various higher institutions so many of them fine it difficult to pay school fee's or pay rented apartment,buy textbooks and hand outs or even feed very well or access to student loan boad,please I want to know if there is any room for students in this forum in universities to access student Ioan, i said let me drop it here because I have not seeing education board.
Not trying to be rude but if you want to ask money in here with loan then the chance of you getting one is incredibly low, because you need collaterals to do it and most of the people here are really skeptical with newbies trying to get loan as their first post in this forum. Have you actually asked for loan in your local bank or something? Pretty sure they have some sort of plan for students loan especially with your problem.
Right. Do not expect that you can easily ask for a loan from the forum especially that you have not proven anything in the forum, and you don’t have any collateral to present. Here in our country, I remember our school before has offered educational loan for students, so you can ask from your department head if they are also offering that. Otherwise, you have to provide a stable income first so you can be approved for any loan.
1289  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you feel when....... on: March 24, 2023, 10:54:00 PM
I know how this will end up soon knowing that when a meme coin is pumping it's just for temporary period as whales are trying to influence the people to invest in them but what is the utility behind these coins they never look at it.For me they doesn't matter a lot because have seen these meme coins dumping hard and they are not going to moon in the end.

If you have made quick profits out of them then it's really good because we all want profits but there are some people who got influenced that they have long term potential but that cause them major loss so for me withdraw ASAP with little or high profits or simply stay away from them.
You cannot expect from meme coins to stay profitable in the long run. We have seen a lot of meme coins in the market, some really did great profits but after that, those coins eventually end up as dead coins leaving those investors at a huge loss. And I don’t want to risk in that kind of situation. What I’m looking is profitability for long term, so I decided to stick with bitcoin and stay away from meme coins.
1290  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? on: March 24, 2023, 10:29:38 PM
actually the main thing is that government should keep check on the cost of things which are of daily uses and edible things so therefore people will have no worries about the cost.

The people blame government because the salaries does not enhances as much as the cost of other things increases therefore people become unable to manage their life expenses. Almost in every country the people are facing such situations where they cannot maintain their lives expenses and poverty is on its peak because people don't have any job or other technique to get income.
If this inflation is actually giving a hard time for all those employed individuals, how much more for those jobless people. I think the government should start to consider increasing the salary rate especially for minimum wage earners so they can still live a balanced life and can still afford to eat thrice a day despite of the foods prices surging. Well, for jobless people, they should also learn to work and earn a living, as controlling poverty is not a full responsibility of the government but also on the citizens themselves.
1291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Guys!! I was finally able to buy my home thanks to Bitcoin!!! on: March 24, 2023, 09:48:33 PM
congratulations mate , it is a rare occasion to see someone here that already purchase such dream while I only accumulate to buy a Motorcycle and a Mountain bike and a Laptop , soon I will buy my car or even my dream FARM when my bitcoin spikes to what i am looking for.
in the next couple of years I believe.

I believe there are many people on the forum who own a lot of bitcoins or have achieved their dreams through bitcoin investment but people don't want to brag or they like privacy. In the area where I live, I meet a lot of young people who already have houses, cars, and even real estate, and most of them have joined the market since 2017. Their success really made me envious because I also entered the market no later than them but I didn't seize the opportunity better than them. But I believe that if I persevere, success will also come to me, I am also looking forward to the next bull season.
I guess OP itself is just being proud of himself and would want to show to the whole community that he’s very grateful for what bitcoin has done in him. But I also understand that most of the successful investors or traders in bitcoin have remained low key and keep their privacy in life. But one thing is certain, if you never quit from your bitcoin investment and you stick to your faith and you always persevere in life, good things and big achievements will eventually come into your life.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pastor Shuts Down His Church After Winning About $140,000 In Sports Betting.. on: March 24, 2023, 09:27:15 PM
To be honest, I never see any reason to quit my current business if that is operating legally and is never at the verge of losing. That would be a loss for me if I do that. But on the case of that fake pastor, it’s really reasonable to quit and close the church so he can stop from his wrong doings. Maybe a big win from gambling could offer him a lot of help so he can establish a legal business that will generate him good amount of income so he can provide for his family.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Casino Sites Cheating Us? on: March 24, 2023, 08:47:58 PM
Casinos have always the chance to cheat us whenever they want to but I don’t think they want to be more known on that because that will only ruin whatever sacrifices they have built from the first place. So just consider yourself unlucky that time and lose the big amount you bet. I’m sure a lot of those who lose too are also betting bigger than your money bet. Next time, never bet on an amount you can’t manage to lose and end up suspecting the site for cheating.
1294  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Experience of failure and success can help us control the emotions. on: March 23, 2023, 10:58:41 PM
In trading the number one enemy is our self emotions, many trader loss because they can't control thier emotions and it really affects thier decision making and sometimes it will become a reason for the big loss, in crypto we cannot be free from different emotions because everytime market condition is changing and it is really a high volatility market, i think experienced had a very big role on decision making, is this a reason why most of the newbie loss is it because they don't have enough of experience?
Experience is a big factor so you will be an efficient and successful trader in the long term. Without experience, you will find it hard to succeed in trading and you will always find it difficult to control your emotions especially when you are chasing for bigger profits, or you want to recover some losses. That’s the reason why controlling one’s emotion is a big challenge in trading, that most of traders fail to achieve it.
1295  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can old trading strategies work again? on: March 23, 2023, 09:27:22 PM
They may be or maybe not. It actually depends on how you trade in the market, if you prefer to use old or new developed strategies. However, old strategies may still be considered productive in the future if they are being updated or recondition and improve its ability to be still usable and productive. But you can always create something new, and develop a strategy based on your trading experiences in the market for years.
1296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how much money is considered as "invest only what you can afford to lose" on: March 22, 2023, 10:53:08 PM
It depends on an individual’s net of income. As long as you are going to invest not above your means, and you can afford to lose it, then that’s fine. After all, investments have still no guarantees to give you profits, some are still bound to lose, so you would always invest not from a borrowed money, but from your extra money that you won’t be used to pay your bills or to supply your basic commodities.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Favorite Play’n Go Games and Experience on: March 20, 2023, 07:34:58 PM
I can tell you that Play'n Go is a well-known provider of online casino games, including slot machines, with a reputation for creating high-quality and engaging games. The high multiplier you achieved on Rise of Olympus is not uncommon for slot games, which frequently offer the possibility of large payouts and exciting gameplay experiences.
However, it should be noted that the outcome of slot games is determined by random chance and cannot be predicted. While you may have had a good time playing new Play'n Go slot games, it's important to remember to gamble responsibly and set limits for yourself.
I played these games numerous times, but I never received a large multiplier.
Maybe there are really some lucky gamblers who got the chance to create large multipliers through Play’n Go games but to be honest, even myself still find it hard to win here. But I still see myself playing most of the slot games because I see good chances here to experience huge profits, as long as I’m lucky enough. However, knowing that slot games are purely based on luck and chances, at least we should only gamble our spare money, that is to avoid regretting when you’re at loss.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs John Ryder - May 6th in Mexico on: March 20, 2023, 07:05:50 PM
Not that surprising because we have already heard this man's name even before Canelo Alvarez underwent to a much needed surgery because his wrist has been in pain since the Canelo-GGG III fight. I'm just glad that this fight is now a done deal because people are waiting for Canelo's return as he have a lot of boxer now queued to fight him afterwards, Canelo may put his belt on the line on this one but let's not forget that this is just a tune-up fight.
Yes, just a tune-up fight but I am still expecting to see a good fight here and would not be surprise if Canelo will definite give his opponent another crucial fight as seen with his devastating body punching. It’s certain that most people will root for Canelo to be the favorite here, but I just hope that John Ryder will also give justice to the fight as he is never an ordinary boxer too seeing his quite impressive boxing record.
1299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The journey of successful business man who were professional gamblers on: March 20, 2023, 06:34:34 PM
Well many people keep saying the casino always win and you will make a lot money after creating a casino, but it's not that simple because the developer need to pay a programmer to create the site, pay the operational costs e.g. live support, marketing etc, they need to pay license, pay the gambling provider etc. If there's not many gamblers who want to gamble, the casino will not make any profit and they need to keep paying the operational costs.
That is why casinos design the provably fair system to favour the house, the house edge will always put the casino ahead of the player and as a matter of fact, luck doesn't always come by, so we all lose to the house at some point.

-But in some instances, the gamblers winz against the house, the impact of high revenue demand on the casino's operators by various bills that wish to be paid, this have made running costs very high and left the casino operator with no choice but to grab all there could from the players.
Gamblers might sometimes take advantage over the house, but in most cases, its always the house that will win over gamblers as gambling casino is certainly design to win, not to lose. However, if gambling casinos cannot stay on top of other casinos and fail to be competitive, then certainly it’s a loss for them. That’s the biggest challenge when you are in a business, you have to make sure that you’re always on top or has the edge over others, otherwise you will lost your business and eventually your expected profits too.
1300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 3 Reasons Why Cytpocurrency Gambling is more Addictive than Fiat Gambling! on: March 20, 2023, 06:05:55 PM
Due to some advantages, the tendency to gambling with cryptocurrency is much higher. As a result, the crypto gambling platform has developed rapidly. Here the most important thing is that gamblers are tries to remain anonymous. Many people emphasize deposit and withdrawal system. It depends entirely on the gambler's own self. Moreover, I used to do gambling by Fiat Money in 2012. But since getting the advantages of Crypto, i never returned to fiat till today.
Crypto gambling these days has gained more demand than the traditional gambling, and most especially with non-KYC feature, gamblers have become more interested to gamble knowing their privacy is not at risk. And to think that crypto gambling gives you more chances to win such exceptional amount, compared to the winnings in fiat, then it’s not surprising that most gamblers take the risk in crypto gambling than being sucked and left behind with fiat gambling.
