1301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some needed features of an online casino. on: May 19, 2023, 02:16:21 AM
I think ive heard some casinos that has features that was called responsible gambling on which they will monitor the activity of the gambler is he is already over betting or spending too much time on gambling on which it is really good

It's good on the gamblers side but bot encouraging on the casino side because that's part of the ways they make more money to their casino business, for an average gambler, i think settings control measures shouldn't be a difficult task to do, some cannot just set some limits to how far they go in gambling or any other activities they do.

the problem with this is that for sure only few casino will implement this because the profit that they will earning is reduced unless they really care on gamblers. Though if there are really regulations about it then it could be a good use to prevent addictions.

Most ofbthe casinos will not even support this at all because it will not work in their favour and talking about addiction to the gamblers involved, it's better they don't have the money at all at hand because they will always finds a means to ensure that they gambles either in physical or online.

That is really the sad truth that casino owners dont really care about addiction on the gambers nor the government as they have no control on this things that is why we our selves should control this so that we dont get addicted. We knew really that they have less effort on doing this as they only thinking about the profit that brought to us and you are right if this was implemented then they have less profit as we knew that other gamblers will find other platform for less hassle.

It really depends on the situation if i really need that money then i will sell it off but if not i will just sell half of it and wait until when it is best time to buy more. It is really better not to sell all of it because after that you feel in void as you already gain profit and you dont know whats next and you still need to want have more profit in the future so it is best to not sell all of it and still continue holding
1303  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you spend more-do you get more? on: May 18, 2023, 04:06:20 PM
An interesting judgment. It is by getting into debt to spend more. I used to borrow before paycheck, I spent 30 percent more than I earned, but with each new month when I received my salary, I had to give back this 30 percent. Thus, it is difficult to say whether I lived in plus or minus. It turns out that in this case I spent more and received even more.
Maybe you are still a little lucky because you still have a trusted place to borrow to live a life that is quite stable, so it is difficult to know which sector is still lacking. But if I examine it in general, you still have a minus in the amount of income because you still have to take out a loan before you receive a salary from your own work. Because if your salary is enough for you to use for a month, that means you don't have to make a loan before receiving your salary the following month.

Additional income can really solve it, as he will not need to borrow it again. This cycle is really known to those minimum wage earners because their salary is enough, and once you start to borrow money, it will have a chain effect and last until you don't have extra money because you'll always be caught short when you receive your salary as you need to pay it, so having an extra income is good so that your salary would be enough.

It looks desperate, and the fact that you bought it in the same year shows that you are really after money. The fact that you said that it will start pumping and pumping means that you should not think about it; you should have a basis no matter what. For sure, you've just invested for thoughts or hype around you, which for sure makes you not last in bitcoin holding. That is really the cycle of bitcoin holding, and I hope that you'll learn from it and reflect on it. You won't get rich in just one year of holding bitcoin; you need a few years.
1305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your Life After 10 years in Bitcoin... on: May 18, 2023, 11:39:48 AM
A lot of things already happened to me and I didn't know that it has laready been that long.
To be honest I experienced a lot of things because of crypto, my first investment, first time losing my money on investment, and also first time earning from my investments.
Cryptocurrency had changed my life it also open ups and let me learn a lot of things through those experiences.

as long as you've learn from your mistakes you can prevent it in the future , I mean all of us went thru a lot for sure some of us got scammed before by those ponzi as we used to invest on it as well as wrong decision making on investing but all of it is that we learn from it , we got an experience from it that we bring in the future and now we see that holding bitcoin is good so we do always accumulate it or save more money so that we can invest more and we can hold more
1306  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial education or 1million dollars on: May 18, 2023, 10:57:30 AM
We have the same oppinion and those people who won lotteries (not all) and people who inheret the wealth of their parents that is a spoiled brat lost it all because you cant handle money , meaning if you only know to spend it and doesn't know how to accumulate or earn money from it then it will really gone to you that is why financial education is a must and as you can see those rich people still going to school just to learn more how to handle their money.
1307  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the key to your success investing in bitcoin.. on: May 18, 2023, 06:49:53 AM
Get a job, at the very least, or add another source of income. If you don't have extra cash to risk on a highly volatile asset, you can't just buy bitcoin. In addition, exercise discipline in all financial decisions, just as you would in any other area of the market for investments. And more importantly, improve your security and privacy to protect your hard earned money.

That is how you stay in the long run.
You should have a stable income in the first place if you wish to invest and stay long term with bitcoin knowing bitcoin will never guarantee as a source of living. And it’s price will always be unpredictable so if you are just here for quick profits, I should say that it won’t work in bitcoin. Also, investing in bitcoin also has a high risk and if you are not ready to lose, it’s best not to invest in bitcoin and focus on real in demand businesses offline.
True. You will never be successful in one’s investment if you don’t have a stable source of income that will support your investment, as borrowing or taking a loan is a very bad idea especially for beginners who have less knowledge and no experience at all. And when you decide to invest, never think how to make profits but always think on how to stay long on your investment. That is way better than to expect real quick profits and end up disappointed and regretting.

there are also instances that they need to because they don't have enough money to invest though it is not good practice to take out a loan for investment as long as you can pay it and know the consequences which you reall think of it then take it but so long that you know you are investing for and you know the risk on it and how to prevent losing it but if you can save then it is better but this will take time

You can also borrow money to invest but make sure that you will repay the loan even if your investment fails, and for that, you need a steady income job. I am not too strict with borrowing money for investment or business because sometimes the opportunity will slip away, and it will not wait for us if we do not catch it. But we should calculate and come up with the worst case scenario we will face, if we can handle that worst case scenario, then getting a loan won't be a problem.

This is really the right decision, but still, there are people that are struggling, meaning there are really good opportunities for them or they have a bright idea but they don't have money, and again, they can't afford to have a loan, which means that opportunity will slip away. If you can really pay for it, then why not? But other people are scared of risking things, and again, without risk, we won't be succeeding.
1308  Economy / Economics / Re: Americans go to Mexico for medicals to cut costs. on: May 18, 2023, 05:21:29 AM
I agree that the Americans are not in the best country for medical services, because the cost of medical tourism is high, and they would probably find the best doctors to treat the patients. Because the cost of health and the cost of physical health is high, people will definitely go to their country for cheap, and their costs would be so much lower. The cost of living is high, but we don't think that most people would use medicine for this, because they will be able to afford it in the end.
I disagree - Americans are in the best country but they go through the natural process - for example in our country if there is any delivery case they would go for c section in 4/5 hours but in states they would wait for whole 2 days to for the normal delivery

do you lived in US? most of the news I've heard is that they are really fast in actioning those things like giving birth or any emergencies but the only problem is that it is very expensive that even the middle class people cant afford it which is why they venture to other countries but again those cases like giving birth is that they don't have a choice that is why they save a lot of money just for giving birth even it is a normal delivery.
That is a good piece of information shared and I have reletive who travel to their home town becasue they think America is way to expences

Health insurance and expenses are really expensive in the US, but when it comes to opportunities as well as finding a job, there are a lot of them, but again, it is not enough for those like minimum wage earners in that country. Also, not only in the US but also in other countries, their surgical operations are expensive, which is why they are flying to other countries to get them done.
1309  Economy / Economics / Re: Social media, now looking more for business than for socializing. on: May 18, 2023, 04:19:21 AM
Previously, various social media were used for entertainment or communication with each other, now social media is the only means of livelihood for many people. And many are gaining a lot of popularity in different social media and they are earning huge amount of money every month. There was no payment system on Facebook before but now with the introduction of payment system on Facebook, many content creators are introducing themselves in a new way. 

Not only Facebook, YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram, etc. are popular social media nowadays, people are making money easily. Different content creators are uploading different types of content and by uploading that content they are gaining huge popularity on social media.

they immediately got a celebrity just because of social media which is also a good thing because it helps a lot of people though we've seen the negative aspects on it like there are more fake news , also the content of the video are not child friend or not good but still it helps other people financially, also the old method of advertising are not really working right now as you need to transition online to better known your business, there are a lot of things change this because of the pandemic came.
covid brought everything online. business - education - work - grocery and what not
Now life is all digital - it has eased the life of a person by making them lazy by making life more comfortable


Delivery services are also at their peak right now, as most people don't want to go out; they just want to have delivery to their house. That's how lazy they are, or they just save time and money for them. People really learned that they just stayed at home and could also buy things without getting out. Unlike before, it is not that rampant and we have difficulties buying online, but now people are very literate on it, and even the old have transitioned to it.
1310  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is something big happening behind the scenes that no one is talking about? on: May 18, 2023, 03:15:51 AM
Ive been playing with their casino and I enjoy most of their perks and rewards, seems like even the other casino make an adjustment the same way or find a more effective way of marketing strategies besides this because they know that these rewards have a good way of earning and profit to them to get more players for sure they will not reduce those instead they will add more perks to the players. In that case I guess if the player does not on it too much like being dependent its not really a big deal but well its add some spices for the game.

So they are just having new marketing strategies? like diversifying their bonuses, unlike before, when they were only saturated with new users and first-time deposits to attract new gamblers. This is really something new, which for sure all of the casinos will follow, and that is really good as they are now looking at their current users, unlike before, when we only noticed their banners were mostly about new users.

If you study gambling casinos very well, they were not after their own personal interest alone, rather they considers what the gamblers experienced with them as well in gambling, through this bonus initiative being introduced, it helps maintain and retain their gamblers to them for a very long duration, thereby already dealing with economic challenges that could bring down their business flow of imcome through the numbers of gamblers that made them a patronage each day gambling, bonus is another strategies to retain gamblers, appreciate their efforts and maintain a steady operational plan even as new gamblers were coming onboard to their websites.
You are very correct mate, but then, you will angry with me that not all casinos really care about their customers, or give bonuses in other to keep their customers, some use bonuses as a lure to win more gamblers over who they can selectively or completely scam when even they decide, such thing is very common with new casinos most especially..

Like my brother is still waiting for a withdrawal request he place over 32 hours ago, he found a new casino and got attracted by the bonus they offered to new players, he signed up, made a deposit and claimed the bonus, played for a while and several series of losses, he decided to withdraw the remaining balance, and up till now, they are yet to process it, and customer support has given him no reply since then.

That is also what I've scared the most, like there are new casinos that have good bonuses and you are tempted to deposit on them and play on them, but when you try to withdraw your account, it gets held immediately or gets banned without any reason. If you contact the support, either they will say you violated the terms even if you haven't, or they will not respond at all. That is why it is better to stay at an old and established casino, but if you are really eager to play at a new casino, be cautious and find reviews on it.
1311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Online casino always take risks? on: May 18, 2023, 02:17:22 AM
Yeah I agree, before you can establish a casino you also need to have a good amount of capital when we say good amount meaning to say that you can cover all the marketing expenses aside from securing the amount to make a payout. It's not easy as there are competitions that you need to consider and those possible whales who can bring your business down.

With that concept, having more patrons to use your service means that you can generate profits in the long-run, good services with developed trust from gamblers will allow your success.
Years ago it was still possible to start a casino with a relatively low amount of money and succeed, but since then things have changed in a dramatic way and this is no longer true, anyone that wants to start a casino not only needs to have a team dedicated to protect their customers from hackers, they also need top notch customer support, fast servers, many bonuses and to promote themselves heavily over the internet, and not a single one of those things is cheap.
Well now when we take into consideration the creation of a casino you have to know what you are getting into, because it is not easy at all, now, if the person who wants to create the casino has a lot of money, there is not that much of a problem, in As far as I am concerned, if a person has a capital that can withstand the losses that a whale player can generate, then everything is fine, because security and everything can be guaranteed with the best devs and hiring specialists in it, I consider that this is what It is a very reckless action.
but unlike before that it is not required to have huge money , what i mean is that if you are just have a small capital you can now start a casino which lets say your intentions are legit but right now if you make a casino you'll end up losing because you dont have  enough funds to do advertisement , unlike before just post it in social media and forums then there are gamblers will try it. That is why if you have funds even if you ain't knowledgable then you can still make a casino by hiring staff on it.  That is why money is very powerful.
For those who are not familiar with casinos, operating and developing a casino is somewhat expensive as the casino owner must hire the necessary manpower to run the business. All responsibilities should be understood from the experienced. If the owner is inexperienced, he must deposit a large sum of money. Because at that time most of the problems have to be solved by spending money. Establishing a new casino business can be difficult for those, without prior experience in this business.

That is why I've said that no matter how little experience you have, if you have money, you can hire someone to run the gambling casino, but still, it is better to be knowledgeable on things that you are investing in because the user experience is good as long as you as a gambler know it. That is why it is always necessary to have knowledge on it before running a casino, as for sure, if you hire someone, you are not the one really running it and you don't know how it runs.

Hello Jury, I wish you speedy recovery and you're doing a great job if you've been doing that monthly. Other people can't even dedicate their time on Bitcoin knowing that they've got no problem to deal with. But unlike you, you're doing it correctly. You're DCAing and that's how everyone shouldn't make excuses because if you're doing something such as this and you're able to consistently doing it for several months, then it means that you're totally committed on it. Don't worry, all of our efforts and investment through Bitcoin is worth it. Are you projecting and trying to play calculation on how much gain you should have in the nearest future based on the amount you're investing in?
He's doing his best out there to build a future for himself and, most likely, to take on the obligation of providing financial assistance to his family. It takes a long time to see such amount of energy from a disabled person trying so hard to be consistent in the market, and we sit down and give up so easy because of one or two losses. His story is not a made-up one, because I can feel his anxiety and have mentally drawn out his situation. One thing I can advise him is that he should never give up, and that bitcoin is worth the struggle and ambition he is pursuing.

When I read also his story I dont have doubts on it unlike other post here. That mentality could make him rich soonest for sure as he is very eager on things. I do have also a friend with kind of disability and he is into investment also which he is always aiming to help his parents right now. I would say that he is now successful as he is generating income even he has disability which i do have always a high respect on him as well as proud on him

Anyone experienced this issue today? I can't access the stake website because of my ISP so I tried to use mobile data. But when I switch to it to access stake, it shows me this warning or error. Both in the images are stake.com official site and the other is its mirror. Tried reloading and ended up on the same page.

Have you tried the other mirror sites? Afaik there are 11 mirror sites available to be used, check which links are online when you visit the mirror sites list link. BTW, I have no issue accessing stake at the moment. The main site is working fine as well as the mirror sites. So it must be related your ISP.

Is vpn allowed to use on their platform? Nothing with the mirror site work for me both using wifi and mobile data.

1315  Economy / Economics / Re: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? on: May 16, 2023, 04:03:36 PM
Definitely money is a motivating factor in your life and you do many things to get money because obviously when you are under financial pressure and you need money for your basic needs you will do anything to earn money .
This statement is becoming meaningless now that you can live happily without money  ,when you don't have anything to give to your family you can't be happy .
This happens because money has become a necessity that must be had to buy every basic need that we must have to survive. So that money becomes very important and it is only natural that money is considered as a motivation to work harder. But Money is not the goal. it's just that money is a medium or a way to get to our destination.
Everyone wants to live a comfortable life and for that they Need money to provide their family with normal daily commodities and to put food on table .
If you say money is not goal or everything that means you don't live for money , you know contentment and being happy in less

but as long as you are content, then there are no problems. Everyone of us is dreaming about getting rich for sure, but if you've seen those families that are just struggling to eat on a daily basis, their goal really is to eat three times a day, which they will say means that they will not be dreaming of becoming rich; they just want to eat three times a day because their status right now is that it is impossible for them to get rich, so they will settle for those goals.

What i suggest as we do have the same situation as I've also need to feed my family and provide their needs , prioritize your needs and your family first and if you have extra that is the time you'll invest into bitcoin and hold it until few years because we don't know what is the price of it in the future lets just jump in to the train before we missed it. As long as you already provided that needs of your family then it is okay now to invest so never put your investment first before the family as you will sure caught off short in your budget

With this kind of set up we cant do anything on it so if we see like this we shouldn't try it and immediately leave because for sure it is not a fair play as they manipulate it.
1318  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't claim to be an investor if it's still like this on: May 16, 2023, 08:49:33 AM
(....)
Due to hype of many projects, many investors are thinking for an easy money and that’s normal in crypto. They will only realize this the moment that project listed in exchange because that is where the real challenge starts, the price pump and dump will always be part of the market. Investing is indeed a long term process that we should always adopt and have strategy, remember easy money can also be easily gone if you take it carelessly.
I think this is becoming normal in the cryptocurrency market, the hype, the FUD, and FOMO everything is becoming normal in day-to-day live in the cryptocurrency market.
The "easy money" way and most influencers or some personalities that spreading it to social media is also becoming normal and through that people will be introduced to cryptocurrency and think that it's really "easy money" but they end up losing.

that is really the power of internet right now because they can easily persuade people to invest because they are influencial and even they do know that it will turn to scam they will continue for their own benefits that is why people right now is starting to wake up unlike before that most of the influencers ive known was introducing token and I've seen a lot of people invested to it but turns out a scam but unlike before people know it now and tends not to invest on it

1320  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: May 16, 2023, 05:11:31 AM
I have always wanted to ask this question is it that there is no opportunity or they do not want to get rich
Mate please more to this I am confused here.
What do you mean by "they don't want to get rich" Do you really think there are people out there that don't want to be rich or remain poor Shocked I don't think so. It is more of a situation thing. some times the situation people find themself in prevents them from achieving what they want. Some people have never left or even had the opportunity to leave the remote location they find themself which also can never provide any better opportunity for them. However, let us not forget that some other people are in the best environment but are still not rich, we could even say it's destiny, If you are not born with it then it wasn't meant for you to be no matter how hard you try.

Does that mean some are destiny to be poor? Well, i won't fully disagree with this but I believe poverty are majorly caused by some governmental and personal factor.
Dont put the blame into government but rather focused on the personal factor. When we are born then this is where our lives do start whether we are considered to be on a wealthy family or poor one.

No matter what, government factor can't still be count out of this. Do you know how sone government policies affect some entrepreneur? Not to talk of lack of infrastructures. There are some places in my place that have not gotten light for more than 4 months now. How will companies in such environment cope with that. The Government has a great role also to place to eradicate poverty from the society. Although, our personal factor can't be left out and this takes a higher percentage.

and yet they are paying big taxes but turns out nothing happens. That is also one of the reasons why the country won't be successful in generating money because they dont care about the infrastructure that can attract new investor. But here in our country we are just lucky in the past administration that he really focused on building roads and others infrastructure which right no lead to more tourist and that means it can help people as well as the country
