but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?
This is easy, the advice should be for the mother that limits the budget of the boy so that he doesn't have much to gamble. Just go to the roots of why this boy can gamble, so if there's not that much money then that only means that he's got a limited move and can't deposit much.
That will serve as a forced lesson to the boy and I think that he'll learn that when he starts to feel that the budget was lessened. Although a possible rebelling action and recoil could happen but expect the positive side and effect.

Sad but the mistake is on her, prolly she got a Ledger hardware wallet that has preloaded seeds. I don't wanna watch the video since reading some of the comments here is enough and have doubts about her story. Like what they're telling, there are always two sides to the story.
But with her, if the story is real then that means that she should be accounted for her negligence. And with clout chasing nowadays, content creators will create stories that will take internet's attention.
1403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What resources do you have for members who may be dealing with addiction? on: August 18, 2023, 06:06:28 PM
I'll search first for the local hotline if there's any help that's available in one's location. That's the best I can give as a resource for people who are dealing with addiction. But with most of them that are too shy about their problem and addiction to gambling, it's best to post it on forums like this because they're giving every detail that they need to provide for them to get some help. A little conversation could really turn the tide and they're even going to be grateful that they've found a community like this.
This, immediately? But maybe your addiction is already on a higher level. If it was still at the early stage, I will do some self remedy first and if it seems not working, that must be the time to seek for a professional help.

I can prefer the international one because I'm also a shy type of a person and I think they are more effective on handling the issue than the local ones. The forum we currently have is mainly for crypto discussion so we may not get the best advice here but there are forums which are dedicated for the gambling addicts. They can try that one. However if the if the addiction is not severe yet, then maybe Bitcointalk can also work.
Yes, that's certainly for those severely addicted gamblers that have no help from themselves anymore. Maybe you can handle yourself but if someone cannot handle himself easily anymore, that's what should be made. Whether it's local or international, whatever works for you then that's much better. The best thing for the local ones is that you can easy converse with them and that's going to give you the confidence that they will talk to you to your native language as not everyone in here are native in English language.

Ive stayed away for the last few years, but im back.. I see a lot of old but wow, so many new faces...Bitcoin sure has come along way since I opened my first account here in early 2011..
Welcome back, I hope that more old members will come back to the forum and enjoy again as it makes you guys remember the nostalgic moments that you've shared here before.

I have no ulterior motive. Just came back..
Are you still holding some or lots of Bitcoin that you've got before when you're still new?

Quote
While at a basketball camp in China, Harden took to the microphone, stating that “Daryl Morey [the GM of the 76ers] is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”
https://thesixersense.com/2023/08/17/5-james-harden-76ers-trades-to-teams-nobody-is-expecting/

And given the situation of the 76ers right now, it might be the same reason why Joel Embiid is giving some hint because he doesn't want a team that has other issues rather than focusing on what the should they do to improve the team.

Embiid admitted that Harden helped him become an MVP, so I think Harden is a good teammate. The GM of the 76ers seems to have some problems with the players, as Harden has not encountered issues with the previous teams he played for.

If you all still remember, Harden agreed to a pay cut with a new 76ers contract amounting to $15 million just to help the team improve.
https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/james-harden-contract-pay-cut-76ers/echtei2ilj3bks5foleduyv1

So, not only is Harden a team player, but he is also unselfish.
I understand why Harden wants to be out of the 76ers really badly. Maybe there's something to do with that contract and the purpose of it, while Harden agreed on that for the sake of the team. If he has said such words against Daryl then that means that it's about the purpose of why he's got a cut of the contract and saying that he's liar, I guess that the terms weren't met and didn't happened at all. We're starting to see the light now as to why Harden wants to get out quickly.

I'm not surprised, it's just like a ticking bomb that's waiting to be sold. Remember what Tesla did with their bitcoin holdings? They've sold it as well and that's why it's no longer a surprise to me. Honestly, at first thought, I thought that this is all about the ghost month but I don't know much about that month for which I've been always reading about it that the market doesn't go well upon stepping on that time. And so this sell off made by Space X with all of its BTC holdings have probably triggered every huge whale and the retailers as well. The market is on sale, don't buy your emotions, BUY BITCOIN!

China Qualifier will begin in a few hours. The matches are not that exciting yet though. It seems almost all the matches later will be one-sided leaning on the heavy favorites: Aster, IG, Xtreme, and Azure.
I agree the next round is where it gets interesting to watch since we'll potentially see a matchup between Aster vs XG and AR vs IG in the other bracket.
They're done and moving on to the next round. The teams that are in the lower bracket are unknown, I guess this is the first time that we don't see powerhouse teams on this qualifiers. Yes, there's the Team Aster, Azure Ray, XG, and IG, and all of these teams that I've mentioned are already on the top bracket. But on top of that, I've used to see the greatest teams have this qualifiers to be a pain in the ass of most of the teams and that's why viewers were all excited but not this time.
1408  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the reason for the X on: August 17, 2023, 10:02:19 AM
It's like it is on his mind at all times. Look at the branding of the companies that he's got like SpaceX. So, with the rebranding of Twitter to X, he has talked about the super app before.
And this could have something to do with this rebranding and it is very timely when he's got to get the attention of the world by having a beef against Mark Zuckerberg. I think it's not just a beef but publicity that he needs for X.

1410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: only 7% of supply is halving on: August 17, 2023, 07:06:46 AM
So expect a 50% increase max on 7% over 120 years.
If there's one thing that I've learned about this market through Bitcoin, is its volatility and unpredictability. You're the one who's expecting that percentage of gain and not us. Whatever the metric you've used into ending with that percentage, it means that you've got some basis for it.
And with lesser supply during the halving, that also means that there's going to be more scarcity for Bitcoin. While we're counting on the cycle on how it looked like before, that's what I am looking forward to see.

At first glance, reading the name made me think that it was okbet but no. I'm starting to see casinos using the number zero in replacement of the letter O which is intriguing and also attractive at the same time.

[1]: You must be at least 18 years old or reach the age of majority under your jurisdiction. You must be permitted to play online games by the laws applicable to you. 🔞
I'm curious how you will handle it when a teen under 18 successful gone through without going to KYC on your platform. Not just on you guys but also with other casinos. Anyway, welcome to the forum 0xbet!
1412  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Passive income with crypto on: August 16, 2023, 08:59:01 PM
The only passive income that I know you can do with altcoins is through staking, farming, trading or copy trading, if you are going to do staking, the best platform I can recommend to you is the Binance platform, if on Dex you want to stake is biswap for me he is okay.
I think most people do prefer to stake on platforms like Binance. Because they're easy and popular but, the cons there is that you don't hold your fund. By that means, is that there's no private key that you're holding for your funds unlike those that are in the DEX.

Farming biswap is also okay for me, and as for copy trading, I recommend Fairdesk and Bitget, they are quite legit and their features are good too. But this is just my suggestion.It is still Do it at your own risk anyway.
As long as you're earning passively on the platforms you prefer, they're really good. Speaking of this copy trading, I've known this but with those exchanges you've mentioned, is it like that they're the one doing the trade for you and you just leave it there? or you still need to manually control your copy trades?
1413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling discussion effect on: August 16, 2023, 07:44:35 PM
It's basically because you're encouraged by those experiences that you've shared. I've gambled even before joining the forum and gambling discussions and that's not really a lot to think of. And it's easy for you to convey into discussions if you're actually gambling or had done it before.

What’s the effect of gambling discussion here to you? I’m thinking to quit participating on signature campaign that involves gambling discussion in an event that my gambling activities is increasing above my normal habit.
Just watch yourself out and you don't have to be addicted on it. Just be careful, really, when you're seeing that urge but just as what people are saying on this matter. To each their own.

There's so much on him that he probably has let it for sure to his family to get much of it before the exposure that he and his team had for the FTX fiasco.

If FTX (or sam) indeed managed to buy this island before it came cashing down, how much of different situation they would be facing right now?
This is possibly being taken by the government proven by his involvement to what's with FTX before. And this will anger more a lot of people that it could have been their money used on this one which is likely.
1415  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | VIP | Instant withdrawals!|ARGENTINA & AVFC on: August 15, 2023, 03:28:20 PM
Where do you read this? Duelbits allowed the use of VPN but not playing from restricted country. There’s many usecase of VPN and one of them is for privacy for purposes that’s why many user use it even if they don’t live on restricted country to access the casino. This is the case which Duelbits allowed the use of VPN.

But for those whose using VPN to bypass country restrictions will surely be penalized when caught by Duelbits team since this rules is clearly stated on the ToS. Allowing such players will put Duelbits license in jeopardy because they have legal obligations to restrict thise players.
IIRC, it was also on this thread and it was the rep that said that. That could have been the case and if my memory serves me right, that was what I can remember all about the usage of VPN but about a person that comes from a restricted area and try to use one, I can't remember but I guess you're right.

They have different categories for restricted regions which you can find here but if you will ask them they will say not to use it but the main concern I was having was Gamblers from restricted region who use to bypass it when it's illegal in their country whether their intentions are good or bad the casino will have to comply with the rules.
Thanks for that clarification as I barely remember when I try to think of it. And for that gambler that's located in restricted country, much better not to proceed.


1416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Whitepaper just Buzz Word in Alt and Meme coins? on: August 15, 2023, 01:28:47 PM
Hi Friends,

I often come across Alt Coins and even meme coins showing white paper. IMO, they are absolutely ruining the meaning of Whitepaper, aren't they?

Some of them use it for showing Toeknomics, some of them show their Utilities & Use cases, some show Roadmap and Planning, and some show just Memes in the paper.

There are many Crypot New Enthusiasts who just jump into the Project as and when they see Website and Whitepaper link. Hardly check what is even inside!

Just wondering what is your take on it!
It truly because a show for most of those projects that are showing road maps, white papers, partnerships and anything that will entice the investors. That's why do not be surprised when there have been a lot of impressions regards to the white paper but eventually, you'll find it out that it's just been copied from another project. These days, it's not just enough to look at those things but also on the developers for you to know if they're credible or not or don't any background to be checked.

One slot and all of the SEA teams are really hard to beat each other, at least for that region only. It's like a total clash for the entire region fighting for their survival just to get that one TI slot. I think if it's two or three slots, there's a bigger chance.

Yeah it will be very hard to get qualified since they are 14 teams fighting for a single slot. But I think the battle will just be between the favorites like Execration, Bleed, Boom, SMG and maybe Blacklist.
IMO, Execration is out of the list although they've made a lot of good start for this season and they fell a few points for the securing of DPC points. But looking major after major, they're always lackluster. Bleed is good but the majority of them are always unpredictable and inconsistent.

One slot and all of the SEA teams are really hard to beat each other, at least for that region only. It's like a total clash for the entire region fighting for their survival just to get that one TI slot. I think if it's two or three slots, there's a bigger chance.
That's also true for the other regions with only one slot for TI and it's why we're starting to see one or two teams pull out from the qualifiers.
Lucky are the ones like the South America for having two slots but they deserve it.

Two weeks remain and the action against goes back. Too many matches that we need to tune in, I am sure that there will be new favorite heroes that will be picked.
Watching a maximum of 8 series per day might be too much. I'll only watch the ones i'm betting on and then browse the replays or highlights if there's an intense series i've missed.  Cheesy
Haha, not a requirement though. I'll also watch some of the games that I'll be on and also those games that I won't bet but I am interested to see.

There really is no distinguishment whether a wallet should be for newbies or for experienced. But if talking about the experience, many of the people that I've seen that are new to this are mostly using centralized and mobile wallets. They all have the same reason and that's all about the user experience and easy to use. So since a lot of threads and links have been given to you. You can start with those links and get an idea on what is a user friendly wallet or what you think is good and easier to use and then from there, jot down the differences of those ones and to the ones that are being used by the majority like Electrum.
1419  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much should I invest in cryptocurrency as a beginner on: August 14, 2023, 03:51:01 PM
Other thinks that it's okay to have a debt while they're invested. They don't realize that they're just getting something from their investments which they're also going to pay to their debts.

There are times that debt/loan is good when you put it on an investment because you will have access on extra capital that will give you more profit. This is only advisable if the potential income is greater than the interest rate to cover the debt and eaen at the same time.
A good debt is when you've got a stable business and you're going to do it for expansion or when you've got a plan to increase your production. But with an investment, which is like floating and you have no idea if it's going to be good or bad, that's a bad debt.

On crypto investments, debts is indeed crucial and subjective due to the volatility of the market. It’s a high risk high reward since you can pay your debt and get huge profit if you invest on the right time and right coin such as Bitcoin.

A one time bull run can give you sufficient profit to cover interests rate and even the loan amount itself.
That's right, it is not advisable to get into investments in crypto using loans. How many have we seen those people that have done the same thing, most of them regret it and if there were successful ones, they're just few.

I don't think that Noone's move to SMG will be successful but since it is for this qualifier, good luck.
I agree this might not end well because of the possible communication issue between the players.

The matchups for the TI regional qualifiers are ready to go. The bookies already have the pre-live odds and one of the interesting matchups I saw was OG vs Team Secret.  Shocked
