1681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com from US with VPN/Proxy without Level 2 Verification? on: November 06, 2022, 07:59:54 AM
Short answer no. Pretty sure that since you're using VPN, you're already aware of Stake not allowing your participation in their site, especially since using a VPN or any similar or related type of service to provide incorrect information is already a breach of their ToS.
Quote
The attempt to manipulate your real location through the use of VPN, proxy, or similar services or through the provision of incorrect or misleading information about your place of residence, with the intent to circumvent geo-blocking or jurisdiction restrictions, constitutes a breach of Clause 5 of this Terms of Service.

If you really want to go around it, finding an identity that is able to play and buying said account can work but it'd probably be a matter of time as well before your found out and may even have legal issues with it afterward. I'd suggest just using a different casino altogether really.

Price increase/decrease shouldn't matter much when you're doing DCA, it may be a factor for your entry but after that, it shouldn't matter much. There's also the factor that you look at it generally in the long term, which could span from half a year to over a year at minimum really. It wouldn't be a disadvantage to investing at a higher price range since you're not investing everything you can lose, you're spreading the investment across your entire investment duration so losses would be minimized as well imo.
1683  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not believe every crypto news you read online on: November 06, 2022, 02:57:39 AM
In addition, most ads or news sources you'd often see are more often than not shilling type of news, instead of proper reports. I wouldn't even doubt it if said articles were paid by the teams behind the projects to speak well about them. It's also why DYOR is always recommended anyway, especially if you're entering a new place like crypto, which every project looks like a new world.

This is the consquences of the said fredom of speech, many fraud and liars make use of this freedom for their own benefits.  Spreading falls information and fake news to earn money.  All we can do is to be vigilant and always verify the news we read.  Don't believe it unless personaly verified.
Well, I'd much rather have freedom of speech than ousting scams. At the very least, you'd see one or two good projects every now and then, controlled speech may prevent bad projects but it also prevents good projects from going up. Researching and finding out new info also makes it rather fun in terms of project hunting. 
1684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have your winnings lured someone into gambling ? on: November 06, 2022, 01:26:42 AM
Pfft nope. It was more likely for them to avoid gaming due to me. I've more often recounted countless losses than the small number of wins that I've had in my career of gambling. I have experienced predicting wins, but most of them were not really about gambling but just me and my friends and talking about big tourneys in general. I'm also pretty much the only gambler around them, and I avidly try to tell them to avoid this hellhole of a hobby, so even with good predictions now and then, it doesn't really push them to join me. Well at least afaik, they've never gambled.
1685  Economy / Speculation / Re: The pump isn't coming sooner on: November 05, 2022, 10:19:45 AM
It matters not really whether it is coming or not, if you're holding strong then there's no reason to be afraid of a pump. If it happens then it does, if it doesn't then it's more waiting. If you're at the investing point then it might be time to decide whether to invest or not. Honestly, any point of entry from the past few months are already good, even if it went down you wouldn't lose THAT much compared to an entry at say, $50k.
Today the market rises more than 6% and is likely to continue to rise because of positive news from many Twitter influencers, even according to the prediction of many experts that the price of November can touch $ 25k, of course this is a good start so that December can rise and reach at least $ 35 K.
If all it took were a bunch of influencers to tweet positively about the market, it would've long crashed. Might be for the best to add some proper news outlets from your news sources instead of relying on Twitter influencers for info.
1686  Economy / Speculation / Re: How fast will Bitcoin fall down? on: November 05, 2022, 04:18:32 AM
There are already thousands of copies out there and seeing as Bitcoin still stands at the top, I think that answers your question of whether it'll be replaced or not, at least in the next few years. And even if Bitcoin does fall due to some new coin, it wouldn't be a sudden fall, you'd obviously be able to see signs of it, and considering how well Bitcoin works right now, I reckon anything that will replace it would be a LOT better, which should be obvious if you study up on it.

But anw, coins have had years trying to fight Bitcoin, there have been some coins that seemed to have grown well, but ultimately Bitcoin still beat them for the top spot. If you can't trust what Bitcoin is and what its history dictates, then I don't really know what you can rely on for your judgement.
1687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How are Online casino's and sports betting platforms coping? on: November 05, 2022, 02:08:39 AM
I'd consider it that they're pretty good really, rather than big tech companies like Facebook, Google, and others that already had a bulk of the dev market employees, some online casinos are still developing their teams, so they're pretty much still hiring (I myself am aware of a few companies looking for employees just recently). Not that it's an impossibility for some big online casinos to lay off employees in the near future though.

I also don't think casinos would have a big problem with regards to developing, most online casinos grew pretty well during the pandemic and that should've been enough time for them to build a solid foundation to at least weather through the current situation.

The biggest layoff I know about casinos was physical ones, and that was back at the start of Covid. There's also some recent news about possible layoffs from Macau casinos, but that's the most I know.
1688  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sports and entertainment industries could play a big role in Bitcoin adoption. on: November 04, 2022, 04:51:03 PM
Sports have been long influenced by crypto, specifically sports betting. Some sports tournaments have been filled with crypto exchange ads as well iirc, and maybe even some shitcoins (not sure about this one). Influencers as well have been into crypto, look at Elon himself with Doge, and it also shows how his influence has been pretty big in consideration of the doge market.

Exchanges are companies in the end and they can pay advertisements and stuff like that from events, which in turn advertise crypto itself. Musicians, Artists, whatever you call it can be covered under influencers imo so they only need to publicly state it in social media and they can basically use that to their advantage.
1689  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: investment in bitcoin should be short term or long term. on: November 04, 2022, 07:37:28 AM
If you're pretty new at it then long-term. Try to study what trading is and the pros and cons of doing it before deciding whether to convert to short-term or not (or you can honestly do both). We're down pretty big right now so it's pretty perfect for an entry toward investments in the long term as well. I don't think there's a "better" option between the two tbh, it's just a matter of what you prefer and what you can and can't do. I gave up on trading since it wasn't really for me so I just went about to doing DCA.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fees on Dormant Accounts on Crypto Gambling Platforms on: November 04, 2022, 06:08:34 AM
I don't think I've ever experienced fees for leaving money in my casino wallet (which I often do). I find the idea rather weird really, I know it's a way to force users to spend their money on gambling but it's a blatantly obvious move by casinos, unlike say enticing them with bonuses and promotions instead.

15% is rather steep as well as a fee imo. If I were to pick between two negatives, I'd rather let them lock it till I log in again and submit the necessary documents that prove that I am the owner of the said account or by just simply sending a signed message, if that was accepted.
1691  Economy / Economics / Re: Will you further your degree from school, or learn a new skill after college? on: November 04, 2022, 02:14:22 AM
I'd only continue furthering my education if I was chasing a major degree. If not then I'd be better off working and studying new skills both at the same time so that I can one, increase my investment portfolio if possible and two, increase the possible sources of income one can have. That doesn't mean that in the first case you can't stop studying though, just that a major degree can bring you bigger job opportunities in the long run.

It ultimately depends on what you want to do though, efficiency would only come once you have a solid idea or goal of what you want to be in the future. Both paths lead to you being able to build up your wealth anw as long as done properly, it's just a matter of "how".
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling winner identity on: November 04, 2022, 01:06:30 AM
Idk man looked like he just used his wife and child as an excuse, and his original goal is, well, really, his privacy. The wife and child may also be part of the bigger idea but it isn't everything I guess, other family members, friends, heck even random people by the road may be a part of it. I do wonder if he's able to actually hide it for so long and where he's planning to spend it. If it was a backup investment for his children in the future then it's rather understandable why he sees no need to tell it to his family.
1693  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what is your reason for investing in NFT? on: November 03, 2022, 09:54:15 AM
I tried going into it when it popped off, never really made me interested in the long term. It's just full of hyped a f stuff, which is yes, in some form can be an investment if done properly but the most that you could probably rely on would be luck and not anything good about the NFT itself imo. NFT's are a big thing though, even some big wig companies are doing it though I don't think there's a proper idea as to how you'd actually invite non-NFT enthusiasts into buying them. The hype around it really is about the money being made, and not about the NFT itself from what I've seen.
1694  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is this not shilling but information sharing? on: November 03, 2022, 02:51:24 AM
The thing is in most cases, their so-called "information sharing" can be called an advertisement (and that's what they're paid for), and not really, well, proper sharing. Telling it's NFA or DYOR may be able to prevent most people from being scammed/influenced negatively, but it isn't an excuse for people to scam/influence others negatively, especially if they were paid to do so.

In cases of influencers being an avid fan of certain coins, pretty sure they'd have enough of an understanding of it to know the pros and cons of the said coin, unlike paid shills.
1695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal. on: November 03, 2022, 01:56:48 AM
It might be mostly to discourage people who have a low capital in the first place from gambling. Though your average joe would most likely have enough money to gamble tbh, might be for people who have it really really hard, or maybe underaged people. It's also a show of your capability if I were to describe it, that you can indeed gamble. I also wouldn't put past it that they just put it there so that they can calculate the minimum amount of profit if x number of people deposited on their casino. 

Minimum withdrawal limits might be more for encouraging players to spend the leftover money instead of being able to withdraw it. Kind of like a state of softlock in games, you can still play but you can't do anything about it since it's below withdrawal limits.
1696  Other / Off-topic / Re: Elon now is charging $8 a month to get your Twitter verified on: November 02, 2022, 09:58:28 AM
Goodbye to bots I guess. I'd reckon it'd be okay for people who need the verification badge to pay especially since Twitter does accommodate a huge number of users so the influence there is pretty big. It probably wouldn't work out for some small-time influencers though but big-time ones shouldn't mind it. It also paints an additional layer of guarantee that the account is legit for their followers so it's a pretty cheap price imo. If it goes past that though then things might become different.

From Elon's tweet as well it seems like there's still various benefits added to the monthly charge, so I reckon it's all good.

He needs to find way to make money here, but not to the expense of the million of Twitter accounts. Of course, there are twitter users who monetized their brand and name in that platform, but what about those who are just using it to check for news and stuff?
I think there's some type of confusion here regarding what Elon wants to do. Verified Twitter accounts are ones that have the blue badge in their name, basically guaranteeing their identity or something similar to that. Regular users can still browse Twitter without any limitations, that "Verification" tag is only for users who aim to let their fanbase know that they're real and that it's not a scam.
1697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are five things you will do if you win huge amount of money?? on: November 02, 2022, 04:33:47 AM
Look for various investments. If I didn't know jack about finance I'd probably squander my money away buying dumb stuff but since I managed to get a bit educated on that part, I'm more on trying to figure out proper ways of investment. I'd also properly settle stuff I need for my retirement even at an early age, I'd rather stay away from leaving it sitting still in my bank account doing nothing. I won't deny that I'd splurge a part of it though, just that majority of it would be for my future retirement, plus some separate funds for donations possibly.
1698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which has better odds, lottery, online gambling, or sports betting? on: November 02, 2022, 02:17:32 AM
Sports gambling. You still have some manner of control after all since it's not exactly luck, but rather the judgment of people, skill, etc., and the amount of information you have We can say that the luck involved in it is rather minimal (but it's still there), assuming you were playing properly though, and, well, not full-on "gamble".

Gambling would be next, it's pretty reliant on luck but there are a lot of various types and varieties, each with different rules, so I'd consider it better than lottery. The lottery is pretty much the simplest and most luck-reliant type, I can still consider certain gambling games to require some judgment skills (like poker, and blackjack), but lottery imo is just full-on luck.
1699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big on: November 01, 2022, 11:02:55 AM
I don't think they'd do, they honestly have no reason to do it since it isn't exactly their problem if their users have issues with regard to their finances. It wouldn't even be a legal dispute imo since they'd have proof of transactions so if ever they'd be put as a scapegoat, they can perfectly leave the case all fine, and might even ask for reparations. Casinos are only afraid of the laws of casino that pertain to "gambling" related regulations, outside of that, especially considering if it was online casinos, I don't think they'd ever fear anything, except maybe an especially lucky person that can bankrupt them  Wink
1700  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to say? on: November 01, 2022, 05:19:41 AM
It's called "influence". It's the same reason why churches hold a lot of power at times if you want a comparison. They're not even doing it themselves really, they're letting people who are influenced by them do it themselves or people who want to take advantage of that influence to make things bigger. Even millionaires without much fame could still influence the market by paying off other people with said "fame" instead. It's not only limited to millionaires though, as I've said it's influence that sways people, money can just be one part of said influence.
