It is so funny to watch people try to calculate what are the "odds" of something only when they are losing. I have seen people winning 1000x with just 10 bets and I do not see them coming here and talking about "something wrong with stake, I won it only in 10 bets, it shouldn't be possible it is very low odds", no they are quite happy and they take their money and be happy with it.

But, when they gamble 100k times and fail to get 1k once? They suddenly start to act like there is some shady stuff going on . Dude, it is gambling and you have one in 1000 chance to get it, obviously it is not going to happen very frequently anyway, and sometimes it is going to be even more unique. Just get over it and realize that each bet is different from the previous bet. These people will never learn the true value of gambling and will only play with their own perspective in mind.

This is the smart way to invest by anyone. If you are a good investor, you do not feel sad whenever some of your investment goes down, if you truly believe in your investment then the price drop means it is undervalued and not get sad about it. So, you end up buying even more, I have used this for 13+ years now in stock market, if I believe in a stock and the price of it goes down then I do not feel sad about it, I just keep buying more and more and more as long as I believe it will do better that means I am dropping my purchasing average.

Eventually, one day it will go up to the price it should be and we end up being in profit, which is exactly the situation bitcoin is in right now and we will have that for sure. It is going to be 100k+ one day, and buying now is awesome for all of us.

That is the point, if you look at the odds then you will realize that big rewards are low chance to win and that is why you are almost always getting something lower. I am not saying that you should not expect anything big, even with just a single spin you could get a rolex, that is how the "luck" based things work, or you could do it 1 million times and never hit it as well. Think about it like lottery, every single week we have millions of tickets sold, and only 10 of them wins, same logic here, we have seen people with like 10 tickets to win the whole thing while we seen people with millions of tickets not winning anything as well. This is the same logic but for spins.

Traders must be very happy or very upset right now. They are either buying low and selling high and making quick profits during this period, or they could be also buying and then it could be going down even more which means they either have to hold it more than they would like to or they could be simply just doing a stop loss to get out quickly with a loss. This is not a period for long term investors, for us it is always the same and there is nothing wrong with anything, but at the same time we would like to consider this as a period we ignore since we can't do much and just wait for it to get better and buy as much as we can since we only care about long term.

Unfortunately there are too many people who end up doing something stupid like that just because there are people who invest into NFT like crazy and others hope that they could definitely sell their newly minted NFT. I hope that there is a good reason to buy a good NFT and you could mint it and that would be a lot better, and they could sell it for a lot of money.

However, there is a good case that just because it is NFT, but there are only a few of them available and most of the time there are bunch of shitcoin like shitnft's and that is how you lose your money. It is not just your friend, it is something that is done by a lot of people and that is why there is nothing wrong with it. Yes they are losing money but at the same time it is something that everyone is doing, and which is why we need to actually realize that it is not a big deal and just let it be.

You do not have to do stress test with your community, it could be done with yourself as well. There are plenty of software allowing people to test their websites load, for example I checked my website and it can sustain as much as 20 thousand people reading the same post at the same time, at 20k it is very funky and not so well, that's the limit where it can be opened but I would rather not have that right now, I could increase that if it was the regular part but unfortunately I am getting like 30-40 visitors a day so it's not really that important for me.

The main point here is that when there is a loading issue, if it's from the server side they could test it without needing us, but for now it looks like a client side problem instead of server related. They could even use that stress test they do to provide proof it's not based on how many people are playing.

Emotions and gambling don’t go well together and anyone who ends up doing something with emotions usually end up gambling wrong as well. When you are gambling you should make sure that you do not carry any emotions with you to the game, if you had a bad day and thinking about something then do not gamble because you will carry that bad feeling to the gambling world, if you are having a great day and happy about something don't gamble, if you are worried, if you are fearing, if you are whatever, if you have any feeling then do not gamble with it because you are carrying that feeling to gambling.

Gamble on regular old boring "nothing happened today" days and you will be fine. I agree with what you said about BFT tokenomics, unfortunately casinos are looking to make a lot more profit with creating their own tokens and some of them do not even do anything extra, these casino tokens need something more than just dividends.

I would not say that's the case for most of the time. Things could go up and down without the need for bitcoins existence or how that's moving. There are times when we could see bitcoin staying still and altcoins having an alt season, we have seen that multiple times so far and I agree that there is definitely a case things could go up individually as well.

I agree that most of the time when market moves then it moves all together and it doesn't move independently, but it isn't all the time, it is only most of the time. Which is why if you really want to invest into something that is not bitcoin then you should be able to do that however you want.

If you are scalping then you should be either doing it very quickly so you either earn a very little amount and lose a very little amount and hope that overall you would be doing fine, or you are doing it wrong. Crypto has always gone up in the long run so you should not be hoping for scalping at all times, if you are focused on that alone and do not do anything else at all then you are going to be losing a lot of money without realizing what you could have made.

This is just what I believe is true in crypto world and I do not mean like this is the only method, maybe there are other methods like scalping which some people could make a ton of profit but I believe if you are scalping and you wait too long then you are going to end up losing a ton of money so why would you do that when you could do long term investment and make a profit for sure.

That is the thing about bitcoin isn't it? I mean it always reaches to a whole new level of ATH in the future and you always know that another ATH is coming around sooner or later. That is what makes me buy whenever there is a dip in the price.

Some people are traders and they want to buy at the bottom and sell at the peak and keep repeating that forever but I really do not care about where it is right now, as long as it is making a profit in the long run that is all I care about. Eventually people will realize that it is always going to profit in the long run as long as you hold it but it takes time for newbies to realize that fact.

You are right, it doesn't mean that we are going to get whatever we want with crypto, we could definitely get something much lower as well and that has happened with crypto before. We could live a year like 2021 or 2017 but we could very well live a year like 2018 and nobody knows which one it will be. I am hoping that we will have a good year, but just because we are "hoping" doesn't mean that it will happen.

This is why I do not really have any type of problems with having some uncertainty with the prices, let it be a bit risky and unknown for a while so that our long term investment would be even more valuable. If everyone knows that it will go up, then everyone will buy and then we all would win a small amount, but if people are hesitant like us, and then still invest then there will be many who will not invest and the ones who did will earn a lot more.

The scary part is that some other team will get Ole and pay him a good amount of money just because that dude managed United for so long. That is literally the only reason why someone will pay him a lot of money and that should never be the case for managers. Who you managed should not mean that you should get millions of dollars in salary right away, but that's what other teams will do.

If for some weird reason I manage to get myself a job, and even though I suck, manage to convince the management to keep me and then promote me and then become manager and still suck and even cause United to be midtable, I would still manage to make a ton of money as well. I believe any team that looks at the last 2 seasons should be able to say Ole is not the type of manager they should get, and unfortunately nobody would do that and they would still give him a ton of money.

That could be true and yes if the governments banned it then the price would fall and everything would be a lot harder. However the good thing about bitcoin (and all crypto) is the fact that we could literally do whatever we want without worrying about what the government says or thinks.

It means the traders and investors would end up losing a lot of money but that doesn't mean that we should be forced to stop neither. I mean even if every single nations bans it, we could still use it and they would have no way to stop it. Sure the price would plummet incredibly, probably be few hundred dollars at most if they all decide to ban it together, but we know it will not be banned by everyone.

Imagine that as the most expensive learning experience of your life. There are thousands of people every year (probably millions) that studies in college and pay a lot of money, since they do not work they get a loan and then they are in debt forever. This is very true for USA, but I am sure there could be some other nations that have it as well, in my nation private schools have a last year chance for something like that, so it is sort of happens here as well.

This is why I believe that we should not be focusing on what we lost, but focus on what we learned and I am pretty sure many of those graduates with ton of debt never learned something as valuable as you learned by losing your private key.

I would say nobody is born a great trader but they could start to make money very early on if they traded before in something else. A person who is trading at forex for decades now will not be terrible when they first start in crypto neither, they will be decent for sure. I know that it is not easy for people like me, I never traded before crypto (I bought stocks but that's it, not trading) and I sucked big time when it comes to trading for the first time, constantly made losses.

However since I was a long term investor before crypto, I became a great long term investor after I met with crypto as well. For me it is simple, you just buy something and it ends, you literally do nothing else but for some people not selling seems to be a problem specially during big crashes. So it is definitely not born with, but it could be great as soon as you start if you did it before.

I guess you have made a right prediction and I am surprised that India opted to bat first by winning toss and so far in all flat pitches winning the toss is nothing short of winning the match but it seemed like India decided to test their strength on pressure handling bu setting a target. Today India started well with a change in opening pair but as of now it seems they are struggling to set a fighting total.

For Indian venues you may need at least 180 or 190 runs to defend but after losing all 6 wickets in middle overs, India may set target around 160+ runs which is definitely a below par total to defend. Yeah, there are clears chances for tripling your bet amount by the odds of anything 3+. Good luck!

I would say campaigns do not really work that well unless you put something along with it. You gotta do marketing for marketing and that's a very tough position to be in. For example, coca cola does marketing for just brand, but you see amazon or other places do "black Friday!!!!" marketing, why? Because that is marketing for marketing, where you do ads on TV talking about how there are big discounts.

This is why Futuur had to do signature campaign not just normally like "hey look we are here come play with us" but more like "hey look we have this thing going on, why don't you join it?" marketing.

It is really tough, signature campaigns only work in the very long term to hold you to a higher standard, otherwise if you are only doing it to get more and more customers daily then you are not going to win anything out of it, it needs to be long term healthy one that is part of the marketing budget.

Yeah, it seemed like mt.gox did not release lots of BTCs or traders who got refund probably did not opt for dumping right away; they might have decided to hold after seeing bitcoin prices roaring compared what they have seen in 2013/2014. Usually in trading terminology, I have seen bull-trap more frequently but I could not recall that I have ever come across the term "bear trap". This is may be due to "recovery" is only frequently happening in BTC market and not common on most other markets.

By considering the way how bitcoin market have recovered from the recent correction, I am also feeling like we may not get back to $55k levels any more. As of now bitcoin market is struggling to break the the resistance around $60k levels which might happen this weekend's last session.

I feel the same way. "pay to win" was a thing loong before crypto ever started, and all those mobile gaming industry made profit based on selling gems and life and whatever to keep people gambling more, they spent literally hundreds of millions of dollars yearly to promote their games just so they could sell some more in game stuff. Mostly free games that you buy things to further into easier without grinding too harshly.

This is just mobile part, don't get me started with all the games that are selling "skins" and so forth that made billions of dollars every year. Imagine those huge games like GTA or even angry birds, all getting into crypto and blockchain world, either with NFT or some other method. They would really be insanely hard to stop. This is why I believe that gaming and blockchain world will get together eventually, maybe today it already started with Axie, and that could be the direction games may take, who knows?

In my understanding it is highly true and applicable for all types of active trading and when you are not ready to give that in all 100% then you must go for investment by leaving off your active trading plans. Being smart while market hours is not possible and easier one for most of the traders because market pressure will push you which will lead you go out of your training plans.

Scalping is not my preferred way of trading even I am aware of few technical indicators which may get me up to 60% profitable signals for scalping because when I am comfortable with my other methods of trading then why should extend my trading into a high risk one.
