1381  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Earning online more preferable than offline? on: May 21, 2023, 08:22:53 PM
Both could be great ways to make money, but in reality, working from home and earning money is preferable to working on-site these days because it is more comfortable and time-saving because we don't have to travel for work, which may also increase our costs.
The ideal approach to make money might be through trading, but I don't think it would be for everyone, especially for those who aren't eager to learn how to manage its risks. Since learning takes time, patience and willingness are required. Additionally, it will require funding and the understanding that there is always a chance of losing.
Even if people decide to pursue trading as an online opportunity, having a remote online job is still preferable so they have a reliable source of income in case they suffer unforeseen losses.
Both online and offline both aim to make money. But there are more spare times when we can have income from us working online. As you said, working offline will take a lot of time, like for example when we go to and from work it takes a lot of time. But that comes back to personal comfort, because there are also people who prefer to work offline.
For me personally, working offline or online is not really a problem, but when there is a better income from online then I will choose it, otherwise if offline is more promising then I will choose it. But when I can do both, why not.  Grin
Why not earning on both ways?

We could really have our day job and we could really be having our side income later on when we do go home? Well not all does have that kind of mentality but rather preferred on sticking on a single point.
Its really hard though on making yourself sustain on having 2 jobs which it would really be exhausting but if you are that someone whose really that eager to earn more for the future or the benefit
on having a good life in terms of finances then for sure you would be making out some sacrifices on which there are really people who had done this.

It is really just that there are ones who are really just making up some decision that they are really that going full time with online jobs because they could potentially earn more
and having no hassle since you would really be working on the comfort of your own home unlike when you do deal up with those typical day jobs but well this is always a matter of preference.

It is true that responsible gamblers can adapt to any situation. They gamble by understanding the difference between profit and loss and keeping it under control. Don't lose everything by becoming addicted like a fool. Before starting to play online casino games, learning the rules of each game and avoiding costly mistakes involves spending money. Review the rules and strategies for each favorite game before starting to play. Strategy plays a big role in your success as a player.
The majority of gamblers are vengeful because they want to reverse losses and are also greedy because they want to win again when they have already won. I agree with your opinion that gambling must be carried out responsibly because this is a principle that must be upheld in all gambling activities.

We must know and understand the difference between profit and loss, and we must also be able to control it when playing gambling, not to get carried away by emotions. if it is there, we will know the parts of the game and be able to set financial limits, understand the rules and tactics in playing. So, playing wisely is the key to success when gambling. Understanding the rules and tactics of playing will give you more advantages and help reduce the risk of losing money.
A normal reaction or something that you would do when you do gamble is to chase up your losses, you wont really be that just that easy to accept in speaking about losses on where you would really be having that feeling on getting it back via playing even more which it is really the main reason on why people do really experience even more losses which is something that it is really that a common scenario that we do see on gambling world. People wouldnt really be that mindful in regarding on their situation on which they would really be having that mindset and would really tend to make it real or simply let it follow
but on the time that things gets messed up then this is where realization do happens.

People wouldnt really learn unless they would really be experiencing those difficult situations or outcomes because of the actions that they had made out.It is really that something that you should
really be doing in t he first place.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.
No im not really that satisfied specially ive been working on having that 8-5 job for a decade now but is there something i could do? This is the only way on which i could raise up my family on which you wont really

be having no choice but to deal up with it and accept on whatever things that do happen along the way. If you dont have job then for sure your family would really be suffering and this is something that we dont
really like to happen. We do have those day off which we do wish that it would be that longer but we know that it cant really be just that possible if you are just an employee.
You dont have the rights on making some demands on what are the things that you do like and prefer but we could really get out of this shackle if you are really just that having
other income sources and this could be acquired through investment and businesses on which it could really make you do able to sustain.
1384  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: May 20, 2023, 09:33:30 PM
As op had stated submitted his KYC document and still the casino had not confirm it. He will need to wait for for more time for it to be confirmed than thinking that the casino is a scam. That is it the we can tell whether a casino is a scam or not. At least waiting for some time will be okay than thinking that they have taken all your money.
Well yes, that is very easy to say, but it is another thing to be inside with the problem, if OP needs to get the money quickly, he needs his case to be Attended to as Urgently as possible, otherwise something has to be done Urgent to be able to attend to you, I have been in those situations and the worst thing they can tell you is to wait and be patient, that kind of makes the person get Annoyed and get angry at the casino, and sometimes the Support agents are the ones who They are to blame for that,that's why the support in a casino the more humans than AI there are to serve, the better.

The KYC verification process usually doesn't take a long time and on average it only takes 24 hours to 48 hours so more than that time we will have a question mark so that the thought that the casino is a scam will appear by itself.
Waiting and being patient is boring, so it's normal for every gambler to feel annoyed when they have to wait for confirmation for several days.
I myself have never had a problem with any casino regarding KYC because a good casino with a good reputation and qualified service will immediately solve any problems that occur quickly.
Yes, there are kyc processes that are quite fast, but it also has a lot to do with how constant the player is, if he is a player who is always playing and has a good record, they can give him a lot of privileges, such as reviewing the kyc fast, I don't know, but I think that this can influence, in the same way a new player can have a little more delay so they have to study their way of playing, how they won and if their stay in the casino is legal, then I think that For these reasons is that the dekyc verification processes become so tedious and take a long time, which nobody likes, because they withhold money for not passing a verification, that's annoying.

KYC process isnt really that mandatory specially if you are dealing with a crypto based casino unless if you are dealing with Fiat then it would be understandable. In speaking about verification process or time then

it would  really be entirely depending but most of them might really be just the same in speaking of time or what.Its true that taking too long on process in speaking about verification is something that we dont really like to experience such condition and this is why we would really want nor like to see other places or platforms which would really be giving out the opposite situation or experience.
We dont want KYc but if things turns out to be this way then there's no way that we could be able to avoid out but rather we do deal with it.

Casino scams are common because there are indeed platforms which is having this kind of intent on the first place on the time that they would really be launching then you would be able to notice and
observe that there's odd is happening.This is why its always been that important that you should really be mindful on what you are dealing with and making out some research.
1385  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Other Alternatives to Borrowing Money to Start Trading on: May 20, 2023, 08:55:29 PM
I am bringing this to the forum because someone asked me this question. I thought I should share and get more insights. According to the individual, while they were considering loaning about $100-$200 (money they know they can pay back within a month) to start their trading, someone advised them against it. Instead, they were told that all they need to do is to compound $10 instead.

For newbies, compounding a $10 crypto trading investment means reinvesting the profit from your initial $10 capital in the same asset, such as bitcoin, to generate an increase in returns over time. So the $10 may compound over time, and you can get $100 in returns. It requires patience, just as trading does.

This is the best alternative to loaning money to kickstart your trading journey. What are the other alternatives you know?

If you are really that a complete noob then having that $10 start up is something that better rather than on making up some loans and tending to get that $100 directly which you would be making use of it as a

capital on your first ever trade which i would say that those amounts would be most likely to be blown up.So if you are really that someone who doesnt really like to take up some loan but wants to make out that learning or progress then 10 bucks would be a considerable start up.Although it would  really be that something not that easy and it does really need up so much time and patience for you to have considering
that you would be needing to make your capital x10 if you are aiming for $100 out of $10. Just dont make yourself in a hurry because this is where mistakes and errors do happen.
If you do find that $10 is just too small to start with then you do always have the right on taking a loan, just really be that so sure that you could really be able to repay it on time.
1386  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲 CryptoGamble.tips 🎰 | Where Crypto meets Gambling | Guides, Reviews & Slots on: May 19, 2023, 11:59:19 PM
Hello, I really like the sites that are crypto reviews, I think you have the power to tell many of the casinos that are not in the forum to join here and that they become aware of a thread ann , this so they can integrate to the wide range of casinos that can be integrated into bitcointalk,the community is very large and can increase the success of the casino, also a casino that has everything legal, in its reputation it is Always good that it has authentic traffic and why not? If you decide to do a Signature campaign, this Gives you a good twist,of course, this is only for casinos that are not in the forum.

Just to have some small snipping ideas on other currently existing review/guide sites that we do have on this forum already;

1. Btcgosu
2. Cryptogamblingbro

On having this type of site then it would really be always important that reviews and comments or recommendation should really be transparent and not bias as much as it could.
Also it would really be good that it would be having that updated list although it would really be that a tedious job after all considering on how many gambling sites
that we do have in the market today on which it would really be that hard on making such thing but of course it would really be depending on the site owner.
It would be good if there would be some additional guide sites on we do have in the market.
1387  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bye Bye Bear Market :) on: May 19, 2023, 09:56:59 PM
What I sense mostly in market is that when you have this feeling that the bear is over then you would encounter more dip or even in a haste to make profits because they make does not obey your prediction or your proposed sequence rather depending on the total marker wave which is often occurred by some news across the globe. For an individual to get exact what will happen in the market is entirely not reliable or seems to be 100 percent guaranteed.
Dude, the bear market is over and you just have to admit it. Bitcoin has recovered better after briefly dipping to $15k during 2022, so with the price recovery breaking past $31k the bear market is truly over. Such an assumption is true even though currently the price of bitcoin has again experienced a correction to a new support level.

Of course, no one can be 100% sure, but as bitcoin has recovered and found higher resistance, the bear market has automatically ended. We are still at the $26k support at the moment. It seems to be going strong even in the last few days bitcoin has tested the $25k support. I believe traders' panic will lessen and the recovery process will continue to reach new resistance.
I would consider out that Bear market is over if we do able to break that 35k and below than that then i could still consider that we are still on a bear market but somewhat if you do see around on meme coins

market or area on which this is really getting some serious market volume if you do try to visit out which its mostly been generated on DEX and something couldnt be detected or determined with those
tracking sites that we do have like CMC or CG. Usually these platforms are already that too behind when it comes to numbers. Well, its not really having some point on making some arguments whether
this market is really already on the start of this bullish season because we are all hoping for the same thing.

It cant really be just avoided that people would really be thinking about things if we do make out some comparison in between those prices. We cant really
tell on when bull run kicks in but at least we are really seeing that recovery.
1388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 19, 2023, 08:59:23 PM
Bonuses with wagering requirement is not a trap because all the terms for the bonuses is mentioned clearly. It is a trap for those who do not read the terms only. If gamblers read the terms before taking the bonuses, it cant be called as a trap or gamblers call it as a trap because they do not understand the terms. Anyway not all bonuses comes with wagering requirement, there are many other bonuses/rewards that can be achieved due to our gambling activity and it comes with zero wagering requirement but of course in order to get the these kind of bonus, you need to be an active gambler who wagers regularly.
I did not mention that bonuses with wagering requirements are trapped in any way but I was just trying to point out the limitation to some players using bonuses since it comes with high wager requirements,  there is no doubt that bonuses terms and conditions are always mentioned,  but then just as you rightly said it only becomes a trap for those who don't border to read bonus terms and conditions before jumping on them.

Unlike me personally,  I dislike any form of bonus since I know there are always accompanied by wager requirements that can be sometimes unbearable.
I think it's reasonable for casinos to have a wagering requirement for any bonus that they provide no matter what kind of a bonus it is. It would be strange only if the casino requires a high wagering requirement for the money that gamblers deposit on the platform which is insane because a platform shouldn't have a wagering requirement of at least 1x in general.

Most players don't bother reading the terms and conditions of either the bonuses or the platform in general, and that is the reason why they face problems later on when they can't withdraw funds or anything that they might try to do but can't.
Its understandable that they would be putting up those requirements, what if there's none? For sure they would be flocked out by those bonus abusers and would be milking out the site as much as possible.
This is why they would normally be putting up those requirements, its a business and not a charity which it would be normal that they would really be needing to reach up such threshold. Lots of things
needs to be done first before you could be able to make withdrawal out of those bonuses or whatever perks that t hey are really giving.

Imagine that even simply with deposited credited which it does need x2 or more, how much more on having that deposit bonuses and other promotions?
1389  Economy / Economics / Re: marry rich: marry fiat rich or crypto rich, which is better? on: May 19, 2023, 07:42:24 PM
In life you have to be rich of something, or nobody want to marry to you, and have build a family with you, you would be foreveralone, and the media would constantly mogging you over and over again for being foreveralone to remain you. And your mum would constantly tell you if you don't get married nobody would take care of you when your aged. Nobody would make a tomb for you, and when you died you would go to afterlife with empty stomach and would suffer straving too in the afterlife. That must be a lot of hurt! ouch!

So back to question. which is preferred? Married to fiat rich or crypto rich? Although crypto can be created at the comfort of your basement, also the value would plummet quickly to near zero too. Do you think in your life, you would ever see someone marry to crypto rich? btw recent news about ftx being rejected to sponsor a superstar due to it is unregistered tell me marry crypto rich might be a distance dream. Also there would be only 21m bitcoin existed, only 21m couples would be able to married rich. When there is billions of population, a lot of couples may not marry rich, due to unequal distribution, some of the crypto super rich would married hundreds of thousand more.
So this question would fit out on most likely to women but if this question applied to a man then there's no way that both genders could be able to know about the richness about on a certain person unless if they do

see those traditional business or physical ones on which you would be able to determine whether his rich or not, but know about crypto possession then this is something that cant be known unless if someone do really tell about their holdings which we know that its unlikely to be given or shared out unless if you are really that been trusted by that someone or on the time that both of you would be married.
Also, we know that each of us doesnt always mind off about richness for us to marry a certain person.Well, for some which this might be a solid requirement or criteria for them to marry on but we know
that people would still love on marrying a person which they do really love no matter on what would be its financial status which in fact this is indeed the reality.
1390  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🐁🐁MiceRace.com -The worlds first mouse racing gambling platform !🐁🐁 on: May 19, 2023, 06:58:41 PM
-snip-

I’m not aware on this masterpiece gambling idea. Using an animal with an abnormal movement for a race make the race pure random. But this kind of game is not sustainable because there’s no define duration on each round since the mice can stay on same place or do back and forth without reaching the goal like the review I recently watch by reading your post.

This thread hasn't been seen for a few years and now it's back on the gambling section start page and it looks like they are no longer in operation.
In fact the idea of betting on rat races was not such a great idea and only attracted gamblers when they initially promoted it because there must have been a saturation of gamblers betting.
For bets that use animals today, which are still quite popular, are horse racing and cockfighting.
I'm not sure they can improve if they will be back in business.

I doubt that they are planning to come back again after the failed ICO launch. Also this project can be categorized as meme on gambling section because it doesn’t gives a serious gambling atmosphere unlike the typical gambling games.

I’m only amazed on how the game play works after watching a live round of this games which gives a random result based on mice behavior. The only way to improve this is if they can introduce mice conditioning that makes the mice develop more skills to win the game like in cock fight which rooster was given vitamins to last longer with wounds.

But as I’ve said, This is just a meme and we know exactly how this idea created due to the purpose of gathering funds and not by developing this game further.
Not actually a meme since it did really able to make the project been realized or been applied or something we could see a physical.It did really just turn out that the demand and recognition hadnt really sparked out on which means that they had failed on getting that community attention and support which it would be leading on closing up their doors.Just like on what other projects or gambling platforms which have unique idea.

I was pretty aware of this sites launching and that ICO phase but just like been said that it didnt really resulted or came out positive and just eventually die just because there were no people
been betting on. Speaking about those Mice health and capability then i dont see any possible things to be applied rather just on keeping them healthy.
You cant teach them about skills or whatsover.
1391  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Earning online more preferable than offline? on: May 18, 2023, 10:48:36 PM
Earning money online is far superior to working at a physical establishment during the day. Although offline is highly appreciated and difficult. Trading is a great approach to find your true self. It will put everything to the test, including your greed, emotions, patience, discipline, how you handle failure, control, common sense, and resolve. I strongly advise anyone who is going through a terrible time in their life to learn to trade since it provides them a clear sense of purpose other than waiting for jobs. So, which is better, online or offline?

Not everyone like trading because everyone has their own passion, trading is surely great for those people who want to earn side money or someone who wants to become full day trader but keep in mind that with trading there is no guaranteed profit that we will get although that we already an expert trader. If the salary from our offline work didn't enough then try to learn side income like trading but use the money that you can afford to lose don't force it for bigger capital.
Yes, we do have different set of interest but there are people who could easily adapt and switch up if ever they would be seeing that something which is more interesting or could really be that possibly be beneficial.

Its true that we do have different skill set and different knowledge into certain things which it would really be just that right that you should make out some study or research first before diving into something
and not really just simply go carelessly without knowing on that it is.Doesnt matter whether you are dealing offline or online as long you do able to make yourself sustain.
Not all would really be resulting into positive but if we dont try then we cant really know whether we would really be that effective or not.

Its a matter of risks taking on which not all people would really be having that risks taking or tolerance when it comes to this thing.So it would really be that situational.
1392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 18, 2023, 09:34:44 PM
Budgeting is something very hard to do, many gamblers most especially chronic gamblers might not adhered this instructions by constantly setting a limits for themselves without thinking they are missing alot.
Though fees ago I was like what's happening to me within myself I understand that something was wrong with me, because I tried to gamble out of my limits all in the names of trying to make a win without knowing that is my resources that I am losing.

What i did was to step away and logout from the gambling site and I have already given myself a break not to gamble for a month or so to reduce attention being paid to gambling.
Gambling and same time making loss usually affects the brain and state of reasoning, first it would come with higher body temperature then followed by Headache this occurs whenever you stake higher than what you do budget for the month or week hoping to make a fortune from your winnings.

On both side, winning also create damages as you will continue thinking that you can do more than what you won from your previous sessions, I think there are many gamblers who begin from a small win and did try to engage and the sooner they suffer from losing streaks they attempt to keep pushing and trying it hard to recover those moneys that they've loss when playing.

I think what you did is something that will free up some space inside your mind. Quitting for a while and analysing your gambling participation might give you good control.
Not many people manage to control themselves, sometimes I also give advice by saying that to someone to control themselves when playing gambling, leave when they win or take a break when they win big, but basically human nature we cannot deny that greed always sticks with us. we are wherever we are even though we have tried to control it but at certain times sometimes we forget that we should be able to control it but seem to forget to be consistent.

I already feel like this and have even tried it, but it comes back to the intention within us if we gamble looking for a win then we will continue to bet when we have won before and will bet more to get more, but if we intend to gamble for fun then we can control it when we win because it's not the main goal, which is to be happy, to stop when we feel bored or to win, believe me, everything depends on our intentions  Cheesy

If you can stay with that attitude I mean if you can handle the lust that inside you, and your intentions to have some fun will be maintained and yes that's possible to stay in control but most of the time, that fun or that entertainment exceed and from that point you will find yourself getting involve too much, your gambling engagement will start to prolong together with your deposit money you will just find yourself losing a lot but you are thinking still that it's okay as you are just enjoying and you are still finding that entertainment.

Something that is really hard to control when you start playing and start showing that deep interest in gambling.
Anything which is too much is really that bad no matter what we do or in general idea on which this is something that we should really be avoiding on the first place.Everything that would really be done on certain
extent would definitely be ending up on a disaster. How much more on something that needs up money to be fueled for you to play gambling?

If you arent that good on handling your finances then you would really be ending up on being homeless or simply having that miserable life. Think up ahead and always be mindful about on whats the future
or the actions you would be making because it would be surely be reflecting out on your situation or outcome because we know that in every decision would be made
there's always an accompanied outcome which you should really be thinking if this one would benefit you out or not.

That's not fear of missing out if you didn't buy any PEPE coin after the pump. FOMO becomes much more meaningful if a trader rushes to buy a coin at the top after the pump and then, shortly afterward, the coins dumps.

But then, there are still more opportunities out there, don't focus and regret on the missed opportunities. Always look forward  Wink


Was supposed to say the same thing on which this isnt FOMO but rather a missed opportunity which lots had been saying into their minds on what they had missed out which would eventually making out that kind

of regret.Yes, its better to move on because there are people who do make out some nice calls and entries on which they do make themselves getting that enourmous amount of profits because of the decisions they had missed. We cant really that avoid on having hesitation because putting up money or investing money into something is never been that simpler. Of course there's really that hesitance and doubts considering
that it is a meme coin after all which we know that it could neither be sparking out some hype or would really be just simply ignore and die away.

We arent that numb on not to see about the reality of those meme coins which doesnt have that actual utility which it cant really be just that so simple for you to have that kind of
decision making whether you would be buying it or not.
1394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 18, 2023, 07:59:03 PM
It's better to have that limitation and also have that courage to tell yourself that you are already good with your sessions, whatever the outcome.

A practice that everyone should learn and used to avoid gambling addictions that can lead to worse things to happen in life.
That's what a gambler must have so he doesn't experience big losses. But unfortunately, not many can apply this when they gamble or some of them can apply it but after a few rounds, they become so passionate about winning that they forget about it.

In practice, it would not be easy to learn and maintain because, in gambling, one's emotions could escalate easily. This can make him let go of those restrictions slowly and in the end, he uses no restrictions on gambling.
It should be noted that those gamblers who can apply this are gamblers who have experienced so many bitter experiences that they can always think about risks and prioritize how not to lose more money.
The majority of gamblers who don't apply this method are novice gamblers or gamblers who only pursue victory, but I'm sure from time to time they will come to their senses.

It is true what you said that in practice it will not be easy, especially if the added emotion arises, it can be more difficult to have predetermined boundaries.
Especially if that person cannot control his emotions and when he loses, he will become even more eager to recover from his defeat. If this had happened to us, we would surely be very sorry that we have lost much money at gambling. And we won't be able to get it back even if we have to use other money.
A gambler must remember some basic rules before gambling, then gambling can be effective for him. There are some gamblers who lose again and again, a different reaction begins in their mind at that moment. They try the highest to recover their lost money. To get that money back, more money is betting and at one point they lose. A gambler must not try to get it back after losing. Rather, if he can take a break, that is good for him. Before losing all money, these things should be thought.
Cycle continues and this is how this industry do works, people would really be having that kind of approach when it comes to gambling on which chasing up losses would really be your main priority because
you wouldn't really let just this day to pass without tending to getting those losses back. If a certain gambler do lose up its composure or emotion handling, then you would definitely be having a huge
problem towards your finances if you cant be able to stop yourself on doing such action. Of course we should really be that responsible towards our actions because if we dont
then it isnt really just on gambling field on where we do make out wrong and errors in regards on how to deal with it but rather we would really be doing up things which arent
supposed to be done.
1395  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we experience $80k this year? on: May 17, 2023, 11:43:47 PM
Why do you think it is easy to reach $80k? The current price is around $29k, it is still quite far from $80k, isn't it? We are already in Q2 of this year, the current price is even not half of $80k. I don't think it is easy to reach $80k, we only may reach the optimum price of around $40k - $50k during this year. Sure, the price seems to keep increasing gradually but achieving $80 is unlikely to happen easily this year. It will be more realistic to achieve in 2024 - 2025, after the BTC halving happens.
We don't need to think about new ATH in current market conditions, but the market price of half of previous ATH is pretty good from a significant recovery pattern this year, Q2 period is very likely to reach $ 40k price as current price is very close to the highest recovery price ever achieved in the last few months, so Q2 has been the focus of the market can get above $ 35k and hopefully there is no correction high on the next move so $ 40k will be easy to reach in the middle of Q2.
It seems you are right, there will be no new ATH this year where the market situation is really not good and hasn't even improved much, just a surprise at first. It must also be remembered that there is no sign that the world economy is heading for a significant improvement yet, so it will affect the progress of bitcoin.
but it's great hope that there are no surprises until it has to be corrected back in last year, same with you I hope Q2 there is a fix to end the year at $ 50K, wait until next year which starts to enter the halving period.

With how the whole economy is moving, it's tough to say that we will be able to get something that will push the price to a new high, for now the current action is on how both investors and traders are working around the market, there's no sign that a big strong bull run will show up and bring the value up.

Though we all know that the incoming halving always brings good effects in terms of the value, we should invest using the amount that we are willing to hold for a much longer time frame.
Breaking that All-Time-High of 69k would never been simple or something that could happen on pre-halving months because usually we do see new numbers after or post-halving season which it would be still not an assurance whether it would be happening for this cycle or not. This is why its better not to make yourself that too hopeful or anticipating because if it wont happen then it would really be a huge disappointment and
being annoyed on what happened or having that discouragement. Be wary and be prepared as always because it might be able to increase its price in the past but doesnt mean that it would be automatically happens in the future. No one really knows on what comes next but one things for sure is that on the time that it would really be increasing out its recognition and adoption then things would really happen along the way.
Lets just not talk in advance about numbers and being that conclusive because there's no way that we could be able to tell on how far it would stretched out. We know that it would really be basing
or would really be depending into some important factors along the way.

I'm sure the people hoping for bitcoin to hit $80k or a new ATH this year have never looked back at the history of bitcoin. Otherwise, they would never have made such a vague prediction because the halving is still more than a year away from us. I agree that the surprise can also happen with bitcoin, but if our expectations are too high, and it doesn't happen as expected. We will be very disappointed and easily fall into panic and make the wrong decisions. The market does not move according to our thinking, we need to be realistic when investing.
Just make yourself not get stressed out when it comes or not, it is really just that important that you shouldn't really expect much and just as said by most that being that hopeful would really led into disappointments because not everything that we do have in mind would really always happen. No matter how good looking Bitcoin would be on these years doesnt mean that it would be looking good in the future.

Always consider out on that risks taking because if you dont mind much about it and expecting that much then for sure you would really be having those upsets if ever it wont happen.
All of us do really expect for some bull run and 80k is achievable or not really that high ceiling to break if we do witness again that golden bull run on what  everyone is waiting for.
It could neither be happening on 2024 or 2025 but not on this year for sure.

What do you know about sweepstakes? I heard that some online casinos are using sweepstakes law to sidestep gambling regulations, they said users aren't really betting with their money but instead they are betting seepstakes ticket, this person also said that someone need to buy social coin and get those sweepstake tickets for free.

He also said that sweepstakes is not gambling and I am confused, he made mention of Stake.US as one of those online casinos using sweepstakes, I did my own research and it's said that sweepstakes are illegal, this is why I am confused.

Maybe those in the US on this forum can answer this question diligently?

1. Is Sweepstakes illegal in the US?

2. Is Sweepstakes gambling or not?

When it comes about being illegal then it would really be pertaining on a certain law of a certain country.
In speaking about US then it would really be not that costing you an arm and leg when it comes on making up some research.
Unlike a lottery, sweepstakes can be run by individual corporations and are not required to be federally or state sanctioned. Also dissimilar to lotteries, sweepstakes require no purchase to enter. In fact, it is illegal to require purchase to enter.

Sweepstakes gambling or not? As long it does involved money then it is surely counted as gambling.As long it does involved money or funds for you to hope on
winning something then it would really be included on the criteria.

Financial education has always been a game changer in the financial state of a man, it is the best education a father can give to his children because once you are financially educated, it's near impossible not to be financially stable.

Have you wonder why most lottery winners have gone back to square one after winning or most rich kids losing their inheritance due to poor/bad management of funds, it's because they lack financial education.

On the other hand 1million dollars is truly a life changing amount of money but if you are not financially educated, you will lose it all on  the long run,
I don't know if anyone sees it the same way I do?

Well, if you give an imbecile 1 million dollars, you cannot really expect him to use it as a jumping board into higher riches, can you? He will simply see it as a coupon for material wealth, and he will spend it on a car, a house, jewelry, expensive clothes and so on... Of course it will not last him for a long time because he does not have the long term mindset in the first place.

You do not have to be financially educated to know that you can make more money by investing your current money into the right places. You do not even need to do any research. Just take a look at the top 10 stocks and invest in those. Personally, I would put it most of it into Bitcoin. But to each his own. Tongue
On someone who do came from unfortunate way of live or simply being poor for the rest of his life and on the time when he/she received that amount suddenly then its right that he would definitely be spending it

up on buying up a car or a house or whatever he do have in mind as long his budget or money would really fit out and wouldn't really be minding about future stuff and would  really be having those good plans on how to make it use on a wise way or something that would really be that making it last long via investment. It would really be unlikely to happen unless if there would be some sort of financial advisor whether a professional or one of your loved ones would be giving out such advise on how you should gonna spend money but somewhat it would really be depending since not all would really be listening on that particular time or moment when you do able to held that huge money.

This is the main difference of those people who do have educational background on which you are pretty aware on how to make things more sustainable if ever you would be given up some money.
Even myself would definitely be minding on how to make it last long and sustaining.
Come to look at on different stories from those lottery winners who had been spending up their money or winnings like a mad man on which they do point and buy like this and like that without having control.

They would be having in mind that they have lots or tons of money which they could spend on and not something that would really be that totally be spend out all, until the day come on where they dont have any money from their pockets or bank accounts and this is where they would be starting that they should be needing to save up. Yes, you did able to buy lots of houses or cars or whatever liabilities that you have purchased earlier but the question is, how you would be able to maintain them if you dont have that sufficient funding or support after all the years to come? For sure those properties and things
would really be ending up on getting in sale just because you cant maintain them and this is where realization happens that you should have make use of those money on a wise way but well
its already that late.

Is it safe or dumb to use your Credit card for online gambling because of free bonus rewards on signup and initial 3 months purchase? Will you take such risks with your card for such rewards? A friend informed me that some casinos gives better reward if you have a credit card with high credit score at around 800, he mentioned how he make 200$ from Freedom Flex after using over 600$. He also mentioned other like capital one

What are the disadvantages of using a credit card on online casinos? Any? Would you dare do such to earn more money?

because most of the gamblers on the forum will use crypto to play. not many will use their credit cards for gambling. even for online casinos with fiat that I used to use. I always deposit from my bank to my casino account. either I'm too stupid not to know such things, but I'd be more comfortable depositing my bank account.
because now more play in the crypto casinos. I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing. but what is clear is quite risky. but what is provided by the platform, of course solely to make it easier for each of their users. regarding the bonus program, it just attracts more and more users.
For those who do get used to on those traditional casinos will really be sticking into this kind of set up or ways on depositing their funds but for those people who had just discovered out about Bitcoin or cryptos

existence would really be a new way on playing up gambling online without exposing yourself or identity which we know that anonymity is really that important or much preferred by some people but for those who had been using up those credit cards on dealing up with those fiat casinos then they wouldnt  really bother as long it does give out on what they do want or need but pretty sure on the time that they would discover out crypto space and the online gambling platforms which doesnt ask out for some verification then for sure you would really be transferring without any doubt.

Somewhat there's still some problem on which on the time that you would be depositing huge amounts or being a whale gambler, there's always a tendency that they would
be asking out some kyc or verification which do impose the same problem afterall.

Trading will be more favorable too you when you have a system/strategy that works for you, but no matter how perfect you feel your system/strategy is,

Don't ever trade under pressure. pressure to pay off a debt,
pressure to pay your rent/ Bill's.

I till repeat, Don't ever trade
under pressure
because no matter how you do, that pressure will make you do the following,

- over trading: once you start over trading while under pressure,  your decision making will be very poor.

- less control over your emotions: it is near impossible to control your emotions while under pressure, like rent an debt.


- poor risk management: your risk management will not be put to good use because you are desperate, you want to meet up and that will be when time will be working against you, so please fellow traders stop trading under pressure,
    I don't know if anyone have more to add?

-Dont make trading as your source of cinome
-Dont trade and make use of huge capital if you do know that you are just starting on.
-Dont make some rush trades or having no patience whenever you do see that it isnt moving at all.
-Dont make yourself to compare that others are better than you, you would really be boggled or distracted.
-Dont tend to impulsively changing up your behavior or that risks management of yours along the way.


There's actually lots if you do tend to look at and even though you've been aware on what are the good things that you must do but doing
these things would really be a huge challenge as a trader. We know that doing or applying this wont be simply because it would require that strong
discipline towards self.
1400  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: May 16, 2023, 11:44:32 PM
In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim and recently I came across a thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437603.0 seeking for Casinos with paid referral bonuses and I tool out time to read most of the responses there and they all seem impossible to claim referral bonuses.
I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses
One thing about referral bonuses is that, the casino doesn't just pay you a referral bonus immediately the person you refer joins the casino, the person you refer must deposit and gamble on the casino, I think it is from the money the person lost playing on the casino that the casino take a percentage and pay to you, it is very much the same way referral system works on crypto exchange, the person you referred must deposit money and trade on the exchange, and from the exchange fees the person paid to the exchange, the exchange takes a percentage and pay to you for bring the customer..

One thing that have made making money from referring people to casinos is that, it's pretty difficult to find someone who will consistently play on the same casino for a long time, with several casinos around, it is very easy for a gambler to try a casino ones, and then move to another.
Referral bonuses cannot be seen as a way to do things wrong, some users are always earning through these programs, here things can be seen in different ways, first for some they do not do well with it, I think that these heights it is Difficult to find referrals,but for some who already have their referrals for years they always have their Income thanks to it, now things are not impossible,but the bonuses that are of this style are more Different, of course it is always that you can still,but not like before.

Some do make invitation or spreading out their links without minding if ever they would be getting some referral because if we do talk realistically on how much the amount you would be getting out of referral then

it is really just that small and something not that significant for you to mind off unless if you do have tons and then most of them are whales then this is where you could say that you are lucky on getting those whales under you but if not? You cant even sure on how long they would be playing which means that there would be no assurance on getting money with that for a very long time or long term aspect.
Its not actually not a waste of time if you are really that good on marketing or does have lots of followers or something like that but if you do go start from the ground and tending to
hook up some new players under your link then this is really be a tough challenge.
