I came here with zero knowledge and wanted to learn more regarding the community, as I keep seeing there's a lot of topics I didn't know and related to because of curiosity. this brings me to another level of understanding how this works and also through help of other members I learn something and of course share at the same time that's the purpose of the community. Just part of the reward is getting paid, I guess, because those are based on your experience. The more you know, the wider the connections and knowledge you can use for your path.

Before when I gambled I make around 10 percent to 20 percent of my income for the whole month those are quite enough to make fun and entertainment to my gambling satisfaction but of course currently the inflation gets too expensive and its too hard to make a good savings at all so right now with the recent percentage get lessen sometimes it takes me over couple of months again before to play or just around 20 USD just to gambling with the sports or e-sports game. All or nothing game.
1405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: September 16, 2023, 08:17:27 AM
With the development of the Internet and smartphones, the online gambling market in the world is growing stronger. This boom is due to the growing trend of digitalization and the loosening of regulations related to online gambling. Many countries have accepted the legalization of sports betting.
This development is so strong we can see that people will play it. Even all classes of society can easily access this gambling game.''I saw a child using a phone to gamble. Will this be a harmful effect worth reporting?''


Well, with cryptocurrencies, access to online gambling is eased. Previously you needed a credit card to gamble online and not everyone had the credit card / bank account. This automatically puts restrictions too but now anyone can access the gambling site and use crypto to gamble and even minors can gamble on platforms that do not ask for the KYC.

If a child is found betting on the mobile phone, we can only blame his parents for not keeping an eye on him and also giving him access to the money through which he places the bet.

Reason why better to take away those credit cards or any banks or money related to the children because we know how they really want to have money because they are still being dependent with their parents, also right now there's a lot of age or children restriction to their wifi, accounts, devices and etc to use to prevent those children have an access like this gambling accounts, so if you are aware use that. Today many parents keep their cards save to their devices and link to the platform so the children even just playing can buy those stuffs online.

I guess there isnt much to bet on until the next TI but I guess Im putting in some money for tomorrow



TSM seems to have improved so Im betting on them to win against BC although I would say BC is abit better but its a bo3 game so perhaps TSM could pull a 2-1 win somehow. Obviously the other bet would be GG -1.5, self explanatory obviously its GG so there is no way that anyone would doubt that team

With this match of Team Secret vs GG actually, secret always makes an import to their team many people saying that they will give rest to Armel because of his performance during that time reason why Sumail make a Standin to their team, actually the pick invoker with this match is not really effective I don't see the use of using Dragon lance in this game for invoker. Also Ace makes a really good run and dominated top with his combo of Tide with Meteor hammer surely people will pick this in pub because of its too much tankyness + the combo of leash new skills. I bet with the GG here its already in favor to them and congrats to the GG bettors too.
1407  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: September 16, 2023, 02:28:03 AM
Without a doubt this still happens and this means people need to be very careful about the information they allow to be spread about themselves, as there are many regions around the world where gambling is still considered to be an undesirable hobby and many people are not going to be subtle about their disapproval towards it.

However thanks to online gambling this is less and less of a problem, as now people can gamble while using their phones and as long as you keep quiet about it no one will realize what you are doing.

But that doesn't seem to be the case where I live. Most slot players telling people what they got, big wins, jackpots even their lose. There is no age limit, young and old, shared each other about their achievements. The most important thing in maintaining the secret of gambling activities is from the family. Because some of the family will definitely not be happy with this activity. Also from friends, who are gambling, because it will be annoying if they find out we got the jackpot. If they don't ask for anything, of course it doesn't matter, for those who are addicted, with the excuse of being "friends" there are people who don't hesitate to ask for the winnings. but he never help us when we are lose Cheesy
It is not surprising that this phenomenon occurs somewhere, they share winning stories with people involved in slot games. There is a feeling of happiness after sharing a big win that has just been achieved to a friend and the opposite when they are losing. They have formed like a community who sit together and have fun while playing, there is no longer anything hidden between each other when a close relationship has been established.

Behind their solidarity when playing and sharing stories about when they win big or when they lose, they will keep their activities a secret from their respective families. This is not because they are afraid of their family, but want to maintain harmony between families who do not like gambling activities.

Sharing your knowledge and experience to the people you really trust will gives different kind of excitement how you win a large amount with the casino every second of the moment before the happenings will be remembered to them, also some point they didn't share to their family is one possible the family will become dependent to that particular member who wins a lot of money and keep seeking and asking for an extra money because whats the family for, to help each other. Next is the family possible will not support the use of playing gambling because they know the possible impact of it not only to the family but also to the gambler itself.
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big capital, small risk or small capital big risk - which is best approach? on: September 15, 2023, 05:13:23 PM
Wins and losses are part of gambling its all about the gambler and how they will manage the money; for example, players would like to make a huge capital because they want to play a lot of games to have a better chance with the number of bets some of them are rolling with a high wage just to get the risk to have a higher profit but not as always this happens reason why they make a small bets and waiting to win and continuously doing this until they meet the desired profit, for me small capital you will doesn't enjoy too much because  you have a limited funds if you play even in a small bet and didn't manage to win at all you will surely quit because you limit the funds which is nothing wrong on it you have just a good money management.
1409  Economy / Gambling / Re: Project feedback on: September 15, 2023, 04:26:27 PM
Actually its a good idea for promotions its a win-win situation for both sides, do you have a list of participants already, or what are the possible move with this project?. Question with the subscriber will win what are you talking about here the player itself or the subscriber to their platform like social media? this just quite makes me confused.
1410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: benefits of having mature accounts at 3 casinos (personal experience) on: September 15, 2023, 04:22:00 PM
In my opinion most VIP programs require you to spend money to get less money.. but it keeps you coming back for more. Take Stake.com for example.... if you do not gamble, your base amount for the Weekly & Monthly bonuses are reduced. So even if you are getting say $25 per week from the VIP rewards... you have to gamble more than that to get the bonuses.

Now, let's say you have 3 accounts at different casinos .... then the amount of money that you need to wager are tripled.... so you are going to spend a lot more .. than what you would have been spending at one casino. (I will much rather grow one account and get much higher rewards... than having 3 x lower ranked accounts)  Wink

Some of the VIP programs offer only a rewards to people who have active gambling activity and those makes idle after they reach the requirement for the rewards stop and use those to gain a passive income but not as always it happens, so still depends on the VIP treatment with the rewards but of course different account have a different perks it will now depends on the gambler what they will use surely its in their favor to them with the perks and rewards. For me its too hard to compromise have a lot of accounts.
1411  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Another reason and proof to keep funds in your wallet not in an exchange on: September 14, 2023, 11:23:30 PM
If you are an active trader in their platform it's just okay to make less hassle with the deposit again and again repetitively of course there's a fee but using an exchange as a wallet is not the most ideal because first you are not the owner of your money you don't have the fully authorization still have limitations and next you don't have the private keys in case there's some issue occur you cannot pull out your funds immediately.
There's a lot of issue with the exchange like hacking, scams and etc. So if you don't use your funds and want just to store it ideal to use cold or hot wallet.

Imagine even the top valuable names get attacked their account if these person use the another layer of security to their devices like the 2FA there's a chance might be aware and have this preventive measures well right now there's no really safe in the internet reason why your credentials must be secured.
I guess this could serve as an expensive mistakes to the victim and of course possible ruins or damage Vitalik's name at this point.
1413  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Getting the Right Information About Bitcoin and Don't Be Misguided! on: September 14, 2023, 12:09:12 PM
While telling others about Bitcoin, you have to remember that not everyone will adopt to using Bitcoin, so don't force someone into investing. Those who've tried it have shared positive experiences. It's unfortunate that some people had the chance to invest in Bitcoin but were discouraged due to their limited knowledge. While seeking financial advice from others isn't a bad idea, it's crucial to be discerning about the information you accept and act upon. Having incorrect information can negatively impact your Bitcoin experience. Always remember FINANCE AND RISK works together. "Do Your Own Research (DYOR) and don't be deceived.

In some point people who understand the bitcoin would like to push person who doesn't know the bitcoin and have a good financial status, seems like they are reflecting those to other people why not them to manage to make an investment here, instead, you are the one who makes to invest they pushing other people that fulfill their lackness with this, as always we cannot push other people with their decisions if they are not interested they are not. If you are that person I will not risk at all if I didn't know what are these things. Ideal to make a research before committing investment, there's a lot of friendship breaks because of this kind of behavior.

Banks will still be there as is. We know how big they are in different countries; of course, people who know this already will gain their trust in how they keep their money. Still, we see how the banks really would like to get all your money, like if you make a deposit ton of money still there's a limitation of withdrawal even though its your money and once you deposit to those centralized banks, it's not your cash anymore because they have the control to circulate that money to make them profitable at the end. They are offering different services so people courage to make put their money. Another thing they keep still some manpower needed once the bank continuously grows else they want to keep as online without a prior branch for their clients.

Why just the stablecoins if you can teach them related to finance, savings, budgeting, etc. stablecoins are just the same as the other currency coins better to let them know more about the market because this helps them enlighten what the real world with a good cashflow and savings can achieve the financial freedom. Also, crypto is better to focus with the Bitcoin first so they understand the other coin you want to introduce.
1416  Economy / Economics / Re: Save your environmental economic cycle on: September 14, 2023, 10:29:11 AM
Hi, friends.

We are currently in a chaotic phase of global economic uncertainty, everywhere in the world is almost similar to this situation in terms of economy, energy scarcity, food scarcity and many others. but that's not what will be discussed with friends here.

A few days ago I was walking around the housing complex, and I noticed that a lot of grocery stores and other needs (conventional/retailers) had gone bankrupt, maybe this happened because prices were soaring even worse, and people prefer to buy from online stores instead of buying from neighbours, which causes the economy to slow down is undeniably this is the impact of the global economic chaos and technological advances.

If you are a person who has money to shop for daily needs, I suggest you buy from merchants around you instead of shopping online whose stores are far from your place. This must be done to turn the wheels of the economy in your neighbourhood and save them from bankruptcy, at least you give them space to live.

Possible reason is due to pandemic they can even sustain their business because of the lack of customer or they cant compete with other product sellers, there are a lot of possible ways reason why they bankrupt their business, another thing is the economy right now are in the post-pandemic most of the business backs again with their starting point and I guess with the use of online shopping there's no wrong with here still the user are buying the things they need that contributes to the market, reason why they are doing this is because the convenient they can easily manage to buy all the things they need without hassle and just wait to deliver unlike seeking it through different stores. It is part of the economy that people who cant adopt will be left behide.
1417  Economy / Economics / Re: No choice but to use the unavoidable middle man, the exchange companies. on: September 13, 2023, 11:54:47 PM

You can not eliminate the middle man in businesses, especially in this digital age, be it fiat or cryptocurrencies, because they have come to stay. Big exchanges like Binance, are cashing in on being the middle man in businesses, an unavoidable indirect business associates, in your face, waiting for you to go through them.



Unfortunately being a third-party company in a decentralized technology has become a very lucrative business, Satoshi envisioned an environment without the middleman man but the lack of trust between the two parties gives power to the middleman, the third-party system has been with us since time immemorial and unfortunately, it integrates in a decentralized exchange because of the lack of trust.

Honestly, I have more numbers of trades using a middleman than using a peer-to-peer I'm sure all of us here third parties will always be with us, we are so used to it, It applies in many industries it applies in Cryptocurrency.



Reason why we are using the third party application or platform because of it's convenience you can now easily sell or buy the coin you want through using other coin or using your fiat currency unlike going into different site with different service they are now adopting the use of third party applications to make sure their users easily use their platform. Also new comers surely will embrace this too because of recommendations of experienced people and being known with their service.  Or else you want to use the old school.transaction where you really meet people to exchange your coins which is more.hassle and risky because you don't know the person you are dealing with at all.
1418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Stabilize Bitcoin on: September 13, 2023, 01:33:03 PM
People focus on Bitcoin investment just because of its volatile characteristic so if it become stabilize then we will not be able to take advantage from it so it will only be used as a source of payment.

USD is a stable currency and it is like by its stability but in a case of bitcoin people hope for the best due to its volatility which cannot be make stable.

 People will not be then interested in the bitcoin investment as there will no such win or loss state of affairs and the money will remains fixed then no one can think that there will be possibility of bitcoin investment.
Honestly I don't know what op meant by let's stabulize Bitcoin and I hope he understood what that really mean and what it would cause every traders and investors that had been in the market for so long now benefiting from the market. If the price or the momentum of Bitcoin is stabilzed, this will have a great consequences on the Crypto market entirely and everyone will feel the impact or a stagnant market with ranging price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Since Bitcoin is a volatile currency not like USDT, busd that are stable coins and are meant to be fixed to USD.

People will get less interested in the cryptocurrency if this is stabilized, the market will possible become stabilize in our perspective even though there's a sideways we call this as the center of the support and resistance, people is not active in buying and selling with the market, we recently experience this in this era the price of the bitcoin moves with the 25-30k USD and the investors doesn't want this action or else there's some market manipulation might happen.
1419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN: Give people time! on: September 13, 2023, 01:23:43 PM
We don't need to rush all things. People are just being too much optimistic with the bitcoin and getting hyped, so our regrets about making an investment we are passing through to the people we know can invest and give their courage like we miss out, give them a chance to understand it first not as always we are earning money, and we know older people are afraid to risk their money because it's hard-earned and they want to make sure all of that investment decision they made will result in a good outcome. Well at the end its a good news one of your family member now understand the use of the bitcoin but again its your guidance you are the one who really more knowledgeable with that we know how elder always ask if they manage to take a profit or not.
1420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much Bitcoin is needed to buy iPhone 15? on: September 13, 2023, 11:56:22 AM
Ive seen as always there's a meme people doing, which is they are willing to sell their body parts like the picture above just to have this, as always, the latest iPhone lol. This topic seems related to Brainboss created which is the Ignore the new Apple toys & Invest in Bitcoin, history always repeat itself.. People who are literate about Bitcoin are possibly conscious or feeling guilty about these images or the price of the Bitcoin they waste, but we cannot deny that this new feature of iPhone is really catchy to the public and we know whats the reason why most of the people buy this is because of being class, security, camera, and the storage but sooner or later the price of it will goes down, and they will sell it again and make a cut loss to buy another one.
