If you believe in Rollbit, growth of the platform, tokenomics of $RLB token and the plan of Rollbit team to buy back and burn the token, to reduce its total supply, and if you missed chance to take profit with the all time high 3 weeks ago, you can hold and wait for 2024 bull run.
I think Rollbit is doing a good job in maintaining and following their tokenomics. I've seen people that are not in the forum and not to be found in other casinos but they're into RLB. I am not sure how and where they heard it but that just shows to me that they're doing good in terms of maintaining their status for the project aside from the casino itself. Although I still have my thoughts thinking if I'll get into that much tokens again because of my failure in the past in some other projects for which unlikely to be seen for now with rlb.

The website needs more polish because the information that it shows is I am sure inaccurate. While it shows "data not found" for the lottery calendar and it's just new. You need to fix the accurate input of this information or else you're misleading your visitors. I think that it's a template with these numbers and you haven't edited it yet, so I am giving the benefit of the doubt until you change it.

1483  Economy / Economics / Re: Can your passion lead to an increase in your net worth? on: July 29, 2023, 10:21:00 AM
There are many diverse opinions about following one's passion and wealth. I read two stories of people who followed their passion, and in a short period of time, the businesses became very profitable.

In story 1, Defossey left a job at Apple to open a BBQ restaurant in Mexico City. It made $9 million in sales last year. In story 2, Sean Audet, a 30-year-old, spent $0 launching a food photography side hustle, and now he brings in $134,000 a year.

The people in these stories followed their passion and created wealth through it. What is your opinion on following one's passion in relation to wealth? Can your passion lead to an increase in your net worth?
That's definitely possible and you should focus on your passion before thinking of making money from it. These people just believed in their passion and grit and the money has followed them. Because if you're going to put money first in what you do, you'll get tired. But these people worked tirelessly and their motivation proved to them that they did the right thing to follow their passion.

If yes, what is stopping you from following it?
All of us have it but there's some force that stops us. Maybe the obligation that we've got in our personal lives but those who takes risk are the ones sees the good and bad results of it instead of those that don't do nothing at all.

And we know that a gambler that chases his losses will end up with a bad result. Too many stories that have been told that each gambler that won't stop will have the same ending as the others that have ended with a failure and disappointment. I think every gambler is aware of that if they won't stop but, it just so happen that stopping is a hard thing to do when you're attached and invested to your activity and had dedicated a lot of time on it.

To be fair, I have seen some successful stories when a gambler goes after their losses in a so-called "revenge gambling" spree. They have claimed to recover their money and even getting some additional winnings.

Though, even those those are cases of success, eventually the revenge gambling will inevitably end up in what you have described: a long downfall into a spiral of disappointed and loss of money.
There's possibility that a very few gamblers will have their revenge gambling happen successfully. But this isn't for everyone, it happens rarely, and the typical result that we see is when most of them have that disappointment and you're right that aside from that, losing more money.

In the worst case scenario, those stories could encourage others to do the same, it is easy to leave greed to take over one's mind.
True to that and that's going to give them more idea that they should go for it. And have the basic mindset that, if that happens to the other gamblers and they have successfully recovered, what is it for them for not trying since they're already losing?
1485  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there a best way of withdrawing profits from exchanges? on: July 29, 2023, 06:20:43 AM
I don't plan on withdrawing any profits for a long time at least until 2024 but just wondering if there is a best/ cheapest way of doing so when the time comes?

2024/25 will be my first bull run and up till now all I have been doing is buying have yet to sell anything for cash.

Is there a best/cheapest way of withdrawing profits to bank?
You'll have to go through with exchanges and you can't abstain from the fees that they earn from trading fees and some from the commission each withdrawal that a user makes. If you want to flee from the fees as you withdraw then you can ask for someone and do a P2P transaction but that's going to cost you uncertainty if you do the actual thing and you won't go through with the exchange's P2P. I'd tell you what, don't be too worried about the fees, they're not that much and just wait until the bull run arrives on town.

Well the result wouldnt change even if he hadnt remove his hand from his keyboard.
I disagree, it's possible that the result will change if he just focused on the objective of destroying the throne instead of being too excited and happy when the match hasn't ended yet. The focus on mind during a game is important and for sure if he wasn't cheering that early, he would have noticed the bottom lane was getting through by the creeps.

Alot of people seems to be upset about this while in fact this chanes nothing, Liquid was always the better team so this is kinda weird when most bettors then to blame him for not paying any attention because in this case, I think Zai was brilliant enough to pull this off
Zai was too humble to say that they've lost on that match particularly if it's a toe-to-toe match. But it's still a game the other side has to destroy the throne and world tree and Zai just ended it that way.

What's the opposite of buying? Definitely selling. And we will never know when it will happen but one thing for sure is that it's going to happen. People like him that has companies to focus on its concern will have to look at the benefit of it somewhere someday in the future.
That's why when the time has come and they're all in profit on it, there's no doubt that we'll about to see that it's all for the profit and none other than this guy is all for Bitcoin to hold forever. Remember when Tesla was on the news buying Bitcoins and then later on sold but didn't exposed it early.

We do always get a lot of that reminders but we have no idea if many of the readers do follow that are experiencing severe gambling. And a gambler will always be aware of how much he starts to gamble but when the feeling is intense, he'll never know how much he's been losing because his mind is also losing because of the emotional trigger that gambling gives to anyone. So you get the idea of those gamblers that are reminded but then, still forgets to follow these tips.

In my opinion, it is actually worse if a gambler who is addicted continues to keep track of his losses and chases them, because that encourages him to further gamble to recover all that money and also can translate to severe problems at a mental level, like depression, anxiety and feelings of loneliness.

If one is addicted to gambling, the best course of action is to forget about that money and seek professional help before it gets even worse. Having family who cares about them also helps a lot.

That's no longer part of our problem I guess. There's no need to force them to be responsible. That's their money and they have full responsibility of it. It is just tiring to see them cry and regret things once they reach the bottom, then blaming other people why such thing happened. Sometimes a lesson learned would be a bit expensive.
Yes, although we don't have anything to do with it and that's their own personal issue and responsibility. But sometimes we also have that feeling that we need to give them some care if they're doing the wrong thing and it's visible in our naked eyes. But you're right that if the same thing keeps on happening again and again and there's no improvement, much better to just leave it there.
1489  Economy / Economics / Re: The gloomy light called subsidy. on: July 28, 2023, 12:23:33 PM
Honestly, subsidy is truly a good benefit from the government. It is their duty to give subsidy to the most important services that their people need. Petrol is one of it because everything is being run and using petrol / oil for every move. Transportation, energy, and anything that we're using is being done with the use of petrol unless there's another source of it. Health care is also one of it, if a government isn't corrupt, there's a lot of sector where the government can provide subsidies. That's gonna ease the inflation rate that's being felt by everyone. On the other hand, it should be balanced, I also did saw some countries that have been giving subsidies to their people but still don't do good with their economy.

1491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if salaries were paid in BTC on: July 27, 2023, 01:22:52 PM
I'm paid in another coin and it's fine.
It's fine if that coin has a lot of volume and is tradable in many exchanges. But if not, there's also the agreement that you can set with the payee if you also believe to the coin that they're about to pay you.

But I don't think people would do it massively
Yeah, it's because of that preference, and if it's a liquid coin there won't be any problem at all. But the majority prefers to have it in the form of Bitcoin because it's not just being accepted as a payment but also it's a direct asset and investment for the receiver.
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pros and Cons of Crypto vs. Traditional Gambling on: July 27, 2023, 09:41:08 AM
Since many local banks are owned by giant banks which have a presence in almost all countries of the world then I would suppose policies like not allowing a person to make a deposit to their gambling account using a credit card are pretty much everywhere, and to me it makes sense, if a bank allowed you to buy a TV on credit, at least there is a physical good which can repay part of the debt in which you incurred, while this is not true in the case you gamble and lose that money away.
My take on this is that, they're allowing to purchase digital products with the use of credit card. And that's why if a customer tries to use his CC to get his gambling account funded, they should allow it. But I do also understand that the banks don't want someone with a gambling behavior and activities spend money in credit because it might also affect their credit score and as well as their payment behavior. Sometimes, that's also understandable when they're trying to be strict with their policies since it is their money that's being spent or should I say, other depositor's money.

What a way to introduce your project and those signs that I've set for a red flag was there. You don't give guaranteed profits and price just because you are probably part of it or you're too optimistic about it. I mean, I get it that you think that it's going to be $1 soon but the heck a meme coin that reaches that with gazillions of supply? What meme coin did that? I don't think that there will ever be one not even Dogecoin but it was a close one for it. And how are you going to explain that quote by Husirs? You don't hire miners, miners do choose to mine your coin if it's found interesting and worth it.
1494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin whale 'awakens' after 10 years. on: July 26, 2023, 11:28:42 PM
We don't know the reasons why suddenly they are waking up after all these years.
Either they just remember their stash or silently following the market.
But no matter what the reason is, it is still part of the 21M supply of bitcoin.
So we can't say, that will have a big impact in the current market value of btc.
Well, the one reason could just be simple they're trying to get rid of it and want to take the fruit of their patience. They're no different from us as they're also people that want to take profit over all these times.

The intention is that most of them have plenty of wallets and not just one, and they use the other ones and keep a few just for saving as well, and that means they are going to end up making that active when they move it around.

Plus, even though the security of bitcoin is great, it is smarter to end up changing the wallet here and there time to time because that way nobody could hack into your system, otherwise your wallet could be hacked into one way or another, specially ones that move away from legacy address to segwit address makes even more sense to me. This is why I believe that it is not always to sell, sure sometimes it could be for selling but there are many other reasons then selling and that could be the reason.
Good point, there's the possibility that it's not for selling but for those reasons that you've mentioned. But the thing here is, we will never know until we know one or someone comes all of a sudden to be one of those owners and explain what really does with those. Anyway, they've got not obligation in doing so to appear in the public.

The best time for whales to move or cash out there Bitcoin was when it was at its ATH or above 50k. Its not confirm but there are rumors that such wallets are hacked and its hacker who moved Bitcoin to some other wallets. The question is if whale has kept his Bitcoin quite for almost decade and didn't bother to move them during 2017 and 2021 bull run they why he is moving when market is relatively bearish. This question never got answer on such movements.
If it's during this time, that's still a good timeframe as the price is much higher than 2017 but not of course on 2021. These could be just woke up wallets and owners have just remembered they own it. Well, it's really confusing but will still be ending up with the same reason of dumping or just trying to move it from wallet to wallet.
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 26, 2023, 10:22:51 PM
I am not sure why there is this trend of retired great players having the comparison of their careers to the ones that have also retired. Like having a great player on their roster when they're in their prime. I am talking about Pierce talking about Wade he's saying he could do the same as Dwayne did and will probably have a better run because of having good teammates. I have no idea why there are beefs like this or it's just to make themselves relevant from the news we're having in the NBA.

Just take it with a grain of salt, bro.

Veterans will always have to say to each other regardless if those are towards their fellow retired players or active players. Wade and Pierce have lots of trash-talking during their active days and Heat and Celtics have formed a rivalry too during both players' prime seasons.

Anyhow, Pierce also clarified that he is not comparing himself to Dwayne Wade and the respect is always there.

“I never compared myself to Dwyane Wade, I was asked a question how would u answer if u were me I would never disrespect him he is an all-time great. All I’m saying is the narrative surrounding me would be different if I was lucky enough to play with all-timers earlier in my career.”
At least that's clear now that it was just the narrative that he's got if both of them are still around. Well, the game changes, and the plays are also evolving. But yes, I'll take it next time with a grain of salt because that just made me curious why they have to say such things and if they weren't asked for it, they won't say anything. They're both great players and there's no doubt about it and I like it when there's a respect despite there's a lot of trashtalks.

Man, tough times for real and this is like butchering us without even fighting back and that's why this is like survival of the fittest. One thing to do is to never leave anything you have as a source of income. You need to maintain that at least if you don't want to suffer with this inflation hikes.
Just think of it that you're privileged to have a job while thousands to millions have been trying to land one but cannot and while the others have been laid off.

PSG.LGD is going to go home with $300,000. Why is this tournament isn't like a sad ending when a team goes home and is kicked out of the tournament? It's because the prizes are just too high for a tournament and even the lowest has taken a good amount of money. It was a 2-0 for Quest Esports and looks easy when they've stomped the defending champion. Yes, PSG.LGD was the Riyadh Masters 2022 grand champion.
Quest moves on to the next bracket and waits on the winner of the match of Tundra and GG which is happening now.

That's just Paul Pierce being Paul Pierce. He's said a lot of stuff over the years but that's just what he thinks or believe. I wouldn't say it's a "beef". I guess it's in athletes' nature to be competitive in general even after their professional playing years.
Yeah, you guess that's right that even though they're no longer in the scene the name that they've left is still there and the respect is still there though.

On the other hand, GSW is rumored trying to get Howard while him wants to go back in the Lakers.
I've seen this too. He'll probably get more playing time as a Warrior.
I am waiting for some news about him and it's not just him who wants to get back to the NBA but also some other players that have played overseas like Cousins.
1499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin whale 'awakens' after 10 years. on: July 25, 2023, 09:52:09 PM
We will never know the intention of a whale that comes back alive after a decade or even two.
I am doubtful that it is correct if we call such woke-up bitcoins are from whale come backs. I believe that those old-era bitcoins belong to whales who have been still actively latest years. They just woke up their old-era bitcoins and use such woke-up transactions as news.
That's also probably right, they've been active and let those Bitcoins sit there over the long years and are just looking for the right timing to sell. In the end, we're no longer surprised to see that there will be inactive wallets for several years and have been active lately and especially for the next bull run.

Quote
And this is becoming a typical thing when a whale comes back alive with tons of Bitcoins that have been sleeping for so many years.
Millions of bitcoin assumed and estimated to lose but we will see more old-bitcoins wake up. I don't know how many bitcoins actually lost but I know they are gifts for us who own bitcoin today.
Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more.  Think of it as a donation to everyone.
With those old and inactive/sleeping wallets for so long, we will never know if they were lost already until the owner of it access it again and tries to move it to exchange. But right about those lost BTCs as what satoshi said.
1500  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deposit limits on: July 25, 2023, 12:02:29 PM
Whether there are deposit limits or none, at the end of the day it's still the call of the gambler. He can entirely lose that limit within the day and have it refreshed if the feature allows it after 24 hours has passed. I think the best limit is what is set in our minds and the control that we have for our gambling activities. You always remember what everyone is saying about the amount we can afford to lose. So, if you're the one to control the limits, you'll surely even increase it based on the mood that you have within the day.

But still though, they could find a way to go around this and still can play? I know someone, I will say that his local wallet has a limit (fiat wallet), for deposit and withdrawal. So if he reach that limit he can't used his wallet anymore and will have to wait for the 1st day of the month to reset everything. However, if he wanted to gamble and play, he will simply borrow someone's wallet and continue to play. My point is that still boils down to self control, whether we take advantage of deposit limit or not, still up to us.
Well, that's within the will of the gambler. Despite activating that deposit limit, if he wants to go against that feature he'll certainly gonna find a way to keep on going upon hitting the limit. And in his mind that only means that feature is useless because he's going against what he has activated.

Because if we wanted to, we might think of ways to still continue to play per day even if we have reach our limits.
This is inevitable. Gamblers tend to do that if they're itching to gamble upon hitting the limit, so basically it's a total useless feature for them if they're breaking their own set of rules for themselves to have an adjusted limit that serves as their stopper.
