1741  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on How to Manage Gambling Addiction an Open Discussion. on: June 20, 2022, 08:45:41 PM
someone who is addicted with gambling what the person needs is a counseling not a medical doctor for treatment because it's not a sickness you can treat this only works of information that you need put and brainstorm another one to know what exactly gambling addiction can lead into so I think that doctors don't have any impact to play for addiction of gamblers
Excess of everything is bad. Be it gambling, consuming alcohol or even eating and doing other stuff in excess. There should be a balance between things.
If you are gambling you should know when to stop and when to leave the casino. Being patient and getting crazy for money is not a good move whatever the situation is.
Agree on this one on which excess on everything is really bad that's why you should always be considerate on what you are tending to do if that one would be ideal or not because excess on everything will be having a corresponding effect specially in gambling.If you don't make yourself aware on that then it would be hard.

Addiction on gambling is really hard for you to get out or even on other things too on which too much involvement or engagement will really result into this outcome.If you don't like to mess up your life then getting some good control of everything should be done.

This is more or less expected, and it is not only related with Bitcoin crash, whole economy is like Titanic ship that is currently crashing, and I think this looks like it was intentional plan :/
People really didn't expect it will go down til 20k. But after the war broke and sanctions started to put on russia from everywhere, this began, not just crypto but the almost all market are affected.

While in the other hand, it's an opportunity to bought more in this dip.
A bit expected for companies on laying off some workers and this isnt something surprising actually yet they would really be needing on doing such step for them to lessen out expense considering that the market is a on the hellish side and its true that this isnt only happening on crypto space but also in other traditional markets as well which we shouldnt really isolate this issue on this market alone.

I dont know about other issues like this one is intentional or something have some underground intents or something but once companies do made out some
lay-offs then it would be particularly meaning about their finance situation.
1743  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where will Bitcoin stabalize?? on: June 15, 2022, 07:34:23 PM
There have been different events pouring in and a lot of people are jittery that bitcoin winter is setting in.
The fall of celsius, though it rebound back is another chip down
Many crypto exchanges are laying off employees.
Yet many well read people like American billionaire businessman David Rubenstein said that crypto would not go anywhere despite the ongoing market correction.

How long will this market correction will continue and where will this stop.. and where will Bitcoin stabalize




Stabilize? No it cant happen yet price would be always volatile it could be that moving sideways but it would be on a short period of time which its impossible that it would really be staying like that forever.

Market correction duration? No one really knows because the community and big players/instutions are the ones who do really determine about price movement depending on the buying and selling
in between buyers and sellers which is something unknown.

Thats why its not really bad to take up some chances on accumulating cheap coins as of this moment considering that we are on bear market where blood in the streets are everywhere.
1744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports Betting vs Online Casino Games: Which do you prefer? on: June 15, 2022, 06:35:24 PM
I have a friend who used to be so crazy about sports betting. He would bet on live sports and simulated leagues. On some days, his strategy will be to bet on a specific outcome within the game. While on other days, he'd bet on overall outcomes within the game. Sadly, he has lost more times than he won. One day, everything changed when he discovered online crypto casinos. It was as if a new world had opened up. He would spend most of his time on slots, dice, table, and games...

When I asked his reason for abandoning sports betting for online crypto casinos. He told me that aside from being able to receive payment in bitcoins, he loved the instant winnings that the online casinos offer. Secondly, online casino games are less stressful than sports betting.  He explained that sports betting requires knowledge of the sports and sophisticated strategies to win.  I cannot tell if he is better off in terms of winning in his online casino games than he did in sports betting. So between sports betting and online casino games, which do you prefer?
what do your friends think, it has happened to me before. to be honest, slots ruined me until I had a lot of debt, since then I stopped being crazy about playing slots and dice. right now I focus on betting on football, although it requires good analysis, it doesn't matter to me because my winning percentage when betting sports is bigger than when I play slots/dice.
That's a fact, choosing our battle in gambling is a tough choice so we need to make it count as we're looking to earn and not to contribute to the casinos. Playing in a casino is somewhat pure luck as we don't have any choice but to place a bet and hope that it would turn out right in our favor whereas if we choose sports betting, our chances are much bigger especially if we know a lot of games and knows how the game works just like you did. It requires analysis but at least we tried our best and if we lose then we learn.
Strategic and luck based games is totally different on general sense but they do always be the same on needing that luck factor because we are involving betting or gambling then its understandable that money

is on the line.It would really be just depending on where you do love to play according to your own preference since not all are fan on playing with luck based and much more interested with sports betting.

You could choose the two because its your money then your preference would be followed and its none other business on how you would gonna spend your funds.
1745  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Huge Down from ATHs. what will happen the next ? on: June 15, 2022, 05:26:45 PM

Cryptocurrency is now in a big crashing. And whole crypto marketcap now under $1Trillion. What will the next? and How long do you think it will take for the market to recover?
The collapse of the crypto market is nothing new. We see some small and big fall down last year  we also see the recovery and get the ATH. There are many crypto experts who always suggest when the market get drastically down or collapse that would be an opportunity instead of threat. Experts always say that discard the theory that the market is dead. So in this situation it is a good opportunity to buy and finally investors required some patience which is the main key to get success.
If you've been here on this market for a while now or after how many years then drops like this wont really scare you out but instead you would be rather seeing this as an opportunity for you to get in but with some

mix of those rumors on hitting 8k then it is really unavoidable for you to think and wait up even more further.Dont know on whats their basis on such speculation but there would be always the probability.

Market couldnt really be just having that increasing price forever.Expect for something like this to be part of the cycle on which there would be those red candles or crashes that could really happen
along the way.
1746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 14, 2022, 10:33:52 PM
Of course that is not the case at all times, Warriors knows it very well, they lost from 3-1 up.

And adding to that, the Golden State Warriors surely understand the importance of winning the game tonight. There should be no room for any mistakes and every possession should be managed properly at all costs until the last buzzer sounds. Game 5 is somehow considered the deciding factor or turning point of the series.

Boston Celtics will do everything, as always, to take this game tonight for a chance to have that getting Larry O' Brien championship trophy at the TD Garden. It's been a while since the last championship takes place there. That's why I see them tonight as aggressive as they will be and will unleash their very best that looks like it's always their last game.

While on the Warriors, losing is not an option. It's a must-win for the Warriors or else, a big problem is waiting for them in Game 6 in front of the Celtics crowd.
Unfortunately, even though the Boston Celtics had mobilized all their strength, all their efforts were in vain because they lost by a fairly long distance score, the warriors were indeed very difficult to beat because they had a good playing strategy. So that from this match the Warriors finally won.

Not just a good playing strategy but they literally live in the Finals from the last 8 years, just skipped 2 playoffs because they got terrible injuries.
If the Celtics were a more mature team in the finals (which they obviously not because they have 0 experience in the finals) they could be in the winning position by now. That game 4 was the turning point for the Warriors.
I'm afraid this series will be finished in game 6.
Lack of experience is really significant and you can see  the differences and thats what make Warriors is ahead on some point which made them win this recent game but just like on others been saying that
we shouldnt really be that too confident because there's not much huge gap considering that Celtics do able to score out 2 games and Warriors only lead by 1. If ever they would able to tie it
on next game then Game 7 will be the most interesting part whether there's some new history would be made or would really be an another ring for Warriors.
1747  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think that 2022 will look like? on: June 14, 2022, 09:19:17 PM
I believe that 2022 will be a bearish year and for any conscious investor it is an opportunity that does not come often to fill bags with currencies that will perform well in the coming years, so although during this year the prices of cryptocurrencies dumped unexpectedly and investors have lost a lot but I am optimistic That this year may end with a bullrun after Bitcoin recovers, and then the market becomes bullish next year or during the coming months, so we should not enter short-term and HOLD until we make gains, it is not wise to sell with a loss.
yes, it looks like this year is not in an improving situation, the decline from the correction that occurred in bitcoin has reached below the price of $25K which of course is a very worrying price, because it is likely that it will continue to fall again and we don't know where bitcoin is will stop.
some analysts predict that the increase for this year will not occur and will only start to improve at the end of the year followed by the following year, is this really going to happen? everything is possible and difficult to shoot in a situation like this.
Too early to say but we are already mid-way and the worst thing which is happening as of this moment where the price plummets even more after that very long time sideways movement which do really create that

bad impression or being too worry about with the market condition that we are seeing today.Nothing is assured nor really that guaranteed for this year for it to be good lookin since we are seeing the different

scenario or condition but well there's always a rainbow after a rain which this market will eventually be having those good times.
1748  Economy / Speculation / Re: It goes same way people never learn btc 30k on: June 14, 2022, 08:34:38 PM
I and many people certainly regret not selling when the price was $30k, today the price dropped and became a record low price for more than a year, this is an important lesson that we must always check the price, and of course when it's a small profit, it's better to sell immediately and switch to coin stable to lock in profit.
Many people also bought at that price because they thought it was a support point price but predictions were very difficult so they didn't expect the price to drop to $23k but regrets are definitely there but it comes back to each of them whether to stick with the asset or sell at a big loss ?

If it's too late then it's not a good choice, but we think we'll regret it, but it's good that we hold on until we really recover even though it takes a long time.
Most of the time whether a move is right or not depends on the circumstances that surrounds it, selling at 30k may seem now to be a good move now the price is at 22k, but things are never that simple, the drop in the market was too sudden and no one was really expecting it, so buying or holding at the 30k level was not such a bad choice, it is only now that people have the benefit of knowing what actually happened that they began to complain, even if at the time it seemed like holding was the right choice.
There's always a complain when it  comes to this one on where people would really be always looking after for the possible bottom and even if they do implant into their minds that buying on 30k was good call but

once they do see that the price had declined too much on wide gaps then this is where regrets and frustration would come out.Best thing to be done? DCA if you do have the money and not just wait for

the recovery but well not all people are financially capable on doing such action thats why its really that hard on doing such investment behavior or step.
1749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 13, 2022, 11:29:48 PM
There is a little time left for the Game 5 to begin. The winner will have a big advantage for the championship obviously, yeah. It is really difficult to predict the winner of this game now. Warriors seemed better in the previous game but we will see if they will succeed in being consistent. Celtics will have to defend tighter to cause them to make mistakes otherwise it seems too difficult for them to stop especially Curry. If they even don't manage to stop him they should at least improve their successful shot percentage.
Niether box-one or tight man-to-man def for Curry as long he wont really be making out some good position on shooting 3's then they might have the chance.
When Curry starts to heat up then its really hard for him to be stopped. 2 point made will easily be just be patched or catched up if 3 would be successive
so there's no point on weakening their defense.

Warriors wont be dumb on not to counter possible isolation for Curry and to mind off that there's still Thompson and Poole which could also
shoot 3's on any angles.
1750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Act to defend privacy or resign ourselves to its loss? on: June 13, 2022, 09:39:50 PM
I would like to ask, why is it that our loss of privacy is inevitable? There are things that are designed to be private even in the middle of law enforcement operations. Privacy is considered sacred. Even in our current banking laws, there is such a thing as bank secrecy law in which a person's bank account cannot just be divulged, even to government authorities. So I think there will be a meeting point on this. Privacy will remain, but in favor of the government it will also be limited. There's always a healthy compromise on this. And it has already been implemented.
Banking laws that talk about privacy are just clichés that don't apply in some situations at all.
I have a bank account and personal data and only the bank knows, but in reality there are many insurance calls that come in so that my data must be leaked and sold to other parties. don't really believe about privacy being guarded. Government interests have no limits, they have control and have the power to do anything even if it's about our privacy. Expected privacy will not exist. Loss of privacy is inevitable.
Exactly and on point thats why whenever i do make out some fill-ups that in related with some personal information whether it is attached with  some casual day to day living kind of transaction then i do already

anticipate that those informations would really leak out.I dont really believe into those privacy laws that we do have on the country as of this moment which it is indeed true that government does always have

the power and whenever they do prefer on doing something then there's no way in hell that you could stop them and as a citizen then there's nothing you can do.

1753  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mentor experience in crypto trading. on: June 13, 2022, 06:25:57 PM
Making one the mentor of themselves takes time and it is a good suggestion. But most newbies actually need someone to just guide them in the process of making a trade and how to use the market movements to their advantage. While internet gurus are mostly shilling their own altcoins there are genuine people who try to help and many of them will be found on this forum.

Misguidance is common here because of free access and non-regulation or review of advices. It is also tough for a newbie to know who is trying to misguide them.

Indeed, I have a friend before who help me to understand basic knowledge in trading, he teach me the jargons, later on I found Kiyosaki books, he is not my mentor but it is good to have Kiyosaki that will open your mind about your finances, some people doesn't like his perspective, I do understand that but for me? it is very helpful for me. There's a lot of book he wrote such as Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cash flow Quadrant and many more.
There are things which other people cant appreciate while it is really helpful or relevant for you thats why its better not to mind on what others been thinking or feedbacks or opinions.Stick on things which you do

seem that it would really be that beneficial.There are lots of context and references which you could  really listen up to which would really be that relevant on what you are currently dealing.

Snipping some good ideas and applying it with your own trading style and understanding is something recommendable.
1754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT's are a bigger scam than LUNA/UST on: June 12, 2022, 11:21:56 PM
The actual content of the NFT, such as a piece of art, is rarely stored on the blockchain. The reason why the content (such as a JPG, MP3, or Gif) of the smart contract associated with the actual NFT is stored on the web and not the blockchain is because of the size and cost. So you don't really own a piece of art. You own a piece of metadata describing some art that is stored on a centralized server. Those servers will, inevitably, eventually go down, be hacked or bought out so the owners of an NFT will, in the long run, own nothing but some metadata pointing to a defunct site.
I think the developer of LUNA still has the courage to live after he tried to make a lot of people suffer, I heard information that someone committed suicide because the price of LUNA collapsed and changed the name image to LUNC and created a new token called LUNA and the result is still the same, no investors are interested in all tokens from do kwon anymore.
Yep, lets put up some link to that.

1755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rakeback and promotions for limited time on: June 12, 2022, 10:38:09 PM
Not really to offend anyone but personally I feel that cashback offer like feature is more of a trap to make increase your spending on their products or casinos or whatever it could be so I am not really attracted to it but is is a successful strategy from business perspective even though they are giving away 10% as rack back they are not losing anything because they will atleast make those people to spend 10 to 50% more on average spending amount for betting.
Well if a person increases their gambling in order to get more rakeback or cashback then this is no different than those which spend a lot more money in something they do not need to obtain a discount, at the end of the day people are the ones responsible for their money and they need to take the right decision, so personally I do not think of the rakeback feature as a trap, I think that people simply are unable to manage their money correctly and then they suffer negative consequences because of it.
But cant really be avoided that these rakebacks and promotions are likely to be a reason on why people do really go look after it and trying out to chase those winning since they do know or they do believe that

they are on advantage but actually its the opposite.They'll soon realize or find out on what the real deal with these promotions and rakebacks which could really trigger out your greediness specially if you are

hunting for something or trying out to place yourself in the leaderboard.Being impulsive is a common behavior which is something that cant be controlled easily.
1756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and tools. Would you like to spend/live without extra data control? on: June 12, 2022, 09:40:45 PM
Bitcoin today is mostly seen as an investment. Bitcoin has more features. These are decentralization and anonymity. In ordinary life, in the Internet and in FIAT - rotation, all user actions are monitored today. This is useful in terms of criminal security. But would you like to have more anonymity in your life, so that information is not collected, where you eat, live, etc.? To make this possible more widely, it would be useful to have simple and convenient tools for Bitcoin in everyday life. What do you think?
If we do speak about being anonymous then it could really be that possible even if the merchant or any services out there on your place do accept bitcoin then there's no way that they could able to know
or the government would look upon on whose the one who did make such payment.

For sure these merchants would be usually touching up 3rd party providers which would really be that normal to be regulated and they are the only ones who would
be monitored out but of us users or consumers then there's no way that you could able to make yourself known.
1757  Economy / Economics / Re: Taking loan during high inflation? on: June 12, 2022, 08:38:02 PM
Today I had a meeting with a friend of mine who teaches economics at university.
He believes when the inflation rate rises that's profitable to take a loan even with high interest to buy other assets such as gold, bitcoin, and even real estate. On one side of this theory, we usually suggest people never invest money that they can't afford to lose and don't invest the money that does not belong to them for many reasons. These are golden tips and useful in any market.
But the question is what if you do not own enough money for investing? can you take a loan and invest?
Because if you look deeply into charts of inflation rates in most the countries you can easily understand taking loans even with high interests could be useful and profitable.
Personally, I don't suggest doing this because using other people's money will put me under stress and this can have negative effects on my decisions. What do you think?
If you have another sources that can generate an income, taking loans may give advantage to you like if you want to increase or widen your investments. The more investments you have, the higher the chances you will live a good and profitable life. But if you only want to take loans for your first time investment, most likely it would not work. There are still no guarantees that you will succeed on it so how would you repay the loan amount. Believe me, it will only give you a lot of headaches. Better save then invest. And only invest what you can afford to lose.
Another source of income would be the key because you wont really be able to pay those loans or debts if you do only rely with your crypto investment since we know that it wont really give out any assurance

that you could make out profits on the right time and if you do depend on those gains then this is something that wont really be that effective yet we know that everything is unpredictable or cant be known.

Taking loan for crypto investment is something a risky thing to be done but if you do see some opportunity and you could pay it out without any problems then i dont see any issues with it.
1758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Its One Too Many on: June 12, 2022, 07:38:23 PM
I will not mention any particular gambling casinos, but what are your thought if the casino or casinos with good feedback from the community, but with one unresolved scam accusation but from all angles, the accusation is legit with all the screenshots, transaction hash email conversation are provided by the complainant lets say he is not allowed to withdraw his earnings amounting to $100k but from all angles the accusation is valid, don't you think with thousand good feedback, its enough for the casino to lose his reputation with one legit accusation.
Yes it could because even that single valid accusation will really be enough on making site reputation to be that in verge of bad reputation or condition.It would be enough on making site reputation to become

worst because the community isnt really that blind and highly reactive when it comes to scams and issues something like this and if its proven then be sure that it would really make out some impact

thats why its always been important for a business owner to resolve possible issues and complaints and never intent to leave it unresolved because that would surely make out some bad impact.
1759  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: An advice for newbies and plebs on: June 11, 2022, 11:15:26 PM
Simply stop day-trading, or any more active form of trading.
It just depends on the ability of certain traders. If they want to do day-trading then do it, you shouldn't let people like this tell what to do and tell em to avoid certain thing. If you are capable to do day-trading and know the risk of this type of trading, then you should go for it maybe you will earn something from it. I just hate it when people say, please stop doing this and then do this, where they don't even give the correct reason of this.
I believe no matter how bearish the market is, there are still those expert traders who can withstand the current market condition so yes, it always depends on the abilities of certain traders. However, in most regular traders, day trading could be more risky especially with this current bear market as it could lose your expected profits in just a thin air. To be more safe, just accumulate more potential coins while doing DCA for bitcoin. Bear market is certainly not perfect for day trading, buying and holding instead as the risk is low.

You would really be considered to be a good trader on which you could really able to make profits no matter what the market trend or condition on where you could really see the opportunities and snip out profits

despite of having a bear market but these things would be only possible for those who are experienced enough on dealing with the market.It might not really be that simple but we are once a newbie which

it is really just depending on how good we do trade and able to learn up things along the way or something that will really be relevant with our trading career.

The lesson is be rich enough to take a private plane or ship into international waters for your gambling needs, then you are legal.   Lots of things are quite unfair if you dont have money, I wouldnt worry too much about your gambling usage just dont hold too much at once is probably the solution I guess but mostly you should not be hassled in any more moderate solution.
That's crazy. If he have that much money, he can just secretly make a deal with his ISP to give him some exemption in exchange for good amount of money or he won't play gambling at all if his only goal is to make some money since he is already wealthy. Sometimes it's not about the money because there are people or company that values their reputation first and won't accept any forms of kickbacks.

The OP's usage in terms of gambling is going to get lesser this time because his ISP is starting to restrict gambling websites. It sucks if you're attached to gambling already but it can be beneficial to prevent you from losing further or to become addicted to it.
Easy to say but reaching out with your ISP isnt something simple that you could deal with.Its a big company and you cant really just make out dealings on having exemptions and come to note that this wont involve

small money just for you to make yourself crossed out on banned or restricted and since they are regulated by the government then its understandable that they would go in line on what government

do set out rules and as a big business they couldnt make out such request or trying out to oppose because that would really be surely be a big problem once they get caught for some violation.
