Of course, money has an important role. We can't play any gambling games if we have no  money on the casino account. But the amount of money isn't everything, it doesn't guarantee the wins. A bigger amount of money won't instantly increase our chance to ear more money.

For me, it is mostly about luck, especially for the luck-based games.
However, we won't get a luck if we are unable to play properly. To play in the right way, we need knowledge or skills. What technique or skills needed will depend on the games, it can be different among the games. It will be more specific if we play skilled-based games, for example playing poker or blackjack.

I don't deny that boring topic is one of the issues. But the main issue is still how people's trust on Bitcoin. People still assume Bitcoin has no unclear future due to its high volatility and too much bad issues on it. And another main problem is the legality of Bitcoin around the world. Since there are still prohibition (ban) on some countries, that make newbies are afraid and even unable to involve in Bitcoin.

However, introducing Bitcoin in creative way like this, surely will attract people. I like how you organize the content of the video, it is interesting. The visual and sound effects are really enjoyable and meaningful. But there is still lack information we got from the video. It is just about the price history of Bitcoin, nothing else. I think it is just a sharing video about Bitcoin price history, not a video for introduce what Bitcoin is. People need more complex (detailed) information to understand what Bitcoin is.

Anyway, it's a great video, dude! 

Everyone can invest early if they have enough knowledge. It is just not recommended for a pure newbie. I think OP refers to the newbie who has lack of knowledge are better to focus on learning first. The newbie will be too risky if they invest in a rush. Investing without sufficient knowledge probably end up with losses only. OP doesn't want newbies experience it.

Indeed. If we invest in a new project early, we can have a chance to take bigger profits than late investors. However, keep in mind that we must have a good understanding in analyzing potential projects. Not all investors have proper ability to choose the right projects when it is in early step. Only professional or experienced investors who know which projects have good potential. If we are still beginners, we are better to invest in established projects only. It means investing in top coins or reputable coins.

We can speculate anything, but we don't know what will happen exactly. Sure, we can't say the price of Bitcoin is impossible to reach $60k. But we can't deny that it is possible to drop to $23k again. Although it seems difficult for Bitcoin to increase now, the price can increase quickly if there is a big hype towards the Bitcoin halving in the early of next year. Some people predict that it will happen in Q2 of 2024.

If the price of BTC can return to above $30k at the end of Q3 of this year, I am sure it is possible to reach $60k in Q4 of 2023 or Q1 of 2024. However, it is just my humble prediction. Surely it has no accuracy at all.   

You're right. Liverpool must take a big lesson when they sold Sadio Mane and they never got an appropriate replacement. They signed Nunez and Gakpo but they still can't give significant contribution for Liverpool. New players may need more time to adapt but we don't know if they really can be as expected or not. However, it is very visible that Liverpool performance is no longer as strong as when they have Mane.

For Salah, it doesn't make sense if they will sell him. Salah is Liverpool machine goal, Liverpool depends on him in scoring goals. If they lose him, Liverpool has no player that has a big role to contribute in scoring goals.

Of course, there is no player that has the same quality as Salah. Salah is irreplaceable in Liverpool squad, his role is very crucial in Liverpool attacking line. So, Liverpool will keep him whatever the reason is. They will easily reject all the offers from other teams.

There are many other ways to put saving money with more secure ways. It is strange you want to try keep your money in gambling sites. They are not proper places for saving money, gambling accounts are only the media to store money for entertainment purposes (playing gambling games). I can't imagine if you keep a big amount of money in an account that are intended for entertainment. I guess the money won't last a long time, because it will run out because it is used to play gambling games. Although we are trying to commit for saving money but the temptation will be heavy, especially if you start to love gambling games and are interested in chasing victory. I'm not sure even a non gambler will never try to gamble their money when they have a gambling account in casino sites.

Agree, non gamblers must prefer saving their money in banks. It is the common place for saving money. Sure, keeping money in a gambling account will be too risky. Since there is no advantage to keep it there, I don't know why OP has that idea. It seems a bit strange for me. 

You're right. There should be something that we never expect to happen. Although we already made a good analysis with a proper way, it doesn't guarantee to run smoothly. That's why we need a second plan. So, if the main plan seems not effective anymore, we can change to the alternative plan (second plan). In crypto, the market will be always unpredictable. Current news/issues can change the trend in a short, green market can turn to be red just in a single day. It is the reason why crypto business is categorized as a high risk.

Regarding the outcome, as long as you understand enough the characteristic of crypto market, you know when to exit and get profits. Crypto has a bearish and bullish season, just choose the right time for entry and exit. It is not very difficult if someone wants to invest a long time, at least for 3-4 years. But it becomes hard if someone wants to get the outcome as soon as possible.

We don't know what the main reason is. Only the bounty manager knows it well.
However, there should be 2 main reasons. It could be personal reasons or the unfavorable of new crypto projects. For the personal reason, the bounty managers may be busy in their real life because of their jobs or any other things. While for the second reason, after tons of scam and failed crypto projects, many bounty managers become non active anymore. We can understand because it just waste time to work with inappropriate income. Moreover, there will be so much protests from bounty hunters due to bad results of the bounties.

Indeed. Many of them are gone and never came back with new bounties. They may retire or just stop temporarily.

It may be one of the reasons. Too many new projects are not favorable anymore. Some projects provide small allocation for bounty, some projects never paid the bounty rewards/payments, and some of them are scammers. So, BM is just the one who is blamed for the failure.

         

Hello guys,
I have 2 nice merits from my local board (Indonesia). Both are top members in my local board, specifically for Husna QA. He is my senior and one of the most valuable members in our local board.

Congratulations @Husna QA dan @Luzin

I hope someday I can post mine when my merits reaches 444.  

If your KYC isn't approved yet, there must be some limitation on the casino site. I even think you may not playing on certain games, so how you can win the game? Moreover, it is a rare case to win first but you will pass KYC later. Even it is possible, it should be not in popular casinos. Most casinos must be aware of this possibility, so they have a mechanism to prevent this case.

Ideally, you can't deposit if your KYC isn't approved yet. The casinos must already give a warn to every new gambler to finish KYC first before they make a first deposit. Those new gamblers who make rush deposits, must don't read a term & condition first. It is purely the mistake made by the new gamblers, it is not the casino's fault.

SHIB was created as a meme coin and will be a meme coin forever. Even Shiba becomes one of the top coins, the status won't change. SHIB is a meme coin with no strong fundamentals. This type of coin will be never recommended to hold a long time. It is a bit surprising if there are people who believe in SHIB for the long run.  

Yes, the increase on Shiba price relies on the hype. Previously, it became hype because of Vitalik and Elon Musk. Then, it was hyped again because the developer planned to have some interesting programs for the development of Shiba Inu project. But now, I don't hear any interesting news related to Shiba Inu anymore.

There will be always many new altcoins and the trend will change. The hype of meme coins seems over, it probably changes with AI tokens or other things. We can't expect much to see another hype on meme coins.

I used varied exchanges both global and my local exchanges.
-Global exchanges: Binance, Kucoin, Bitmart, Uniswap, Pancakeswap
-Local exchanges: Tokocrypto, Indodax

I choose these exchanges because they are most popular exchanges and have no bad issues on transferring my coins. They also have good features and list many coins. Especially for Binance, they have many pairs of national currencies of various countries, including mine. 

I just do my own analysis (both technical and chart analysis), I don't rely on the signal from any sources. I think choosing the coins based on the signals, will be riskier. I ever joined telegram group signals, it didn't work for me. Most of the signals were announced too late, or the signals are to make a hype of certain coins. So, it won't be effective to use for our trading. Anyway, I never used a single method or a single trading style. I will adjust the current trend to determine which will be the most suitable approach.

You dream to have a pizza restaurant, right?
Why don't you begin to build the restaurant with common payment system first?
Make your pizza restaurant be popular, then you can easily apply any system there.
Sure, your government won't legalize Bitcoin shortly, it must take time. But it doesn't mean impossible, there should be a chance. If more countries legalize Bitcoin as El Salvador does, I'm sure Bangladesh government may consider to legalize it. Moreover, if some countries can succeed to grow their economy by adopting Bitcoin.

Now, your focus is to build and develop your pizza restaurant. So, when Bitcoin is legal in your country, you can easily apply Bitcoin on the payment system.

Halo semuanya. Karena belum ada yang mereview, saya izin untuk membantu mereview lagi. Maaf jika sMerit saya terbatas, saya lebih fokus ke review postnya. Saya harap yang punya cukup sMerit bisa ikut membantu. 

1. Kecil kemungkinan diikuti peningkatan kinerja. Karena tidak ada assesment khusus terkait kinerja PNS & ASN. Jadinya tidak ada keharusan untuk itu.
2. Thread yang berkualitas, lengkap dengan referensi dan penjelasan yang rinci. Sangat layak untuk mendapatkan merit. ++
3. Skip
4. Hal yang lumrah jika fans yang fanatis selalu membela idolanya. Namanya juga fanatis, pasti akan selalu siap membela jika ada komentar negatif tentang idolanya. Tapi untuk yang suka membanding-bandingkan, saya kira itu bukan lagi fanatis tapi memang suka cari masalah. Memang netizen +62 terkenal suka nyinyir. 
5. Memang drama hukuman sambo terlalu dramatis dan seolah-olah diulur-ulur. Bahkan sampe ada revisi perubahan hukuman mati segala. Saya sepakat dengan @mu_enrico, secara teori Sambo tidak bisa mendapatkan remisi tapi tidak ada yang tau seperti apa prakteknya nanti. Hukuman mati saja bisa direvisi, apalagi masalah remisi.

9. Bukan hal yang baru jika wacana hanyalah sebuah wacana. Tidak jarang respon positif pemerintah hanyalah cara mereka untuk menarik simpati masyarakat tapi pada kenyataan tidak ada realisasinya.
10. Skip

1. Common sense
2. Argumen masih terlalu umum dan terkesan belum cukup kuat. Akan lebih baik jika lebih detail dan dengan contoh real.
3. Langkah yang tepat, Doge terlalu beresiko jika untuk investasi long term. Tapi jika untuk trading short time, tidak masalah selama menggunakan dana aman.
4. Common sense
5. Dari dulu sampai sekarang, yang namanya bounty tidak tepat jika dijadikan pekerjaan utama. Tidak jauh berbeda dengan campaign signature paid BTC, lebih baik dijadikan side job saja. Karena tidak ada jaminan berapa lama akan worth untuk dikerjakan.
6. Common sense
7. Ikuti saja BM yang sudah jelas reputasinya, tidak perlu melakukan tes BM baru yang tidak jelas. BM yang reputasinya bagus saja belum tentu hasilnya bagus, terlebih lagi BM baru yang belum jelas reputasinya. Selain cek proyeknya, selalu cek track record BMnya sebelum memutuskan mengikuti bountynya.

*Banyak post-postnya yang masih terlalu umum atau kurang spesifik. Dan sebaiknya jangan hanya post di board altcoins, sesekali ikut diskusi di main board. Pilih topik yang lebih berbobot.

1. Skip
2. Motivasi apapun tidak masalah selama tidak melanggar aturan forum. Saya dulu pun sempat vakum dengan salah satu alasan karena bounty sudah tidak menjanjikan. Saya kembali aktif lagi karena saya lihat ada potensi pada campaign signature. Tapi untuk diterima pada campaign signature top, tentu harus dengan kualitas post yang bagus. Pada akhirnya hal ini memotivasi untuk perbaikan kualitas post dengan sendirinya.
3. Sedikit koreksi salah satu statement agan. Tidak benar jika harga BTC cenderung meningkat dari tahun ke tahun. Yang benar harga BTC cenderung meningkat setiap periode bullrun, pasca halving BTC. Agan pasti paham harga BTC cenderung turun setelah bullrun season. Bahkan pada tahun pertama dan ke dua pasca bullrun, harga BTC anjlok parah.
4. Post tidak ditemukan.
5. Multi akun memang tidak dilarang, tapi sebaiknya tidak dilakukan. Karena dengan multi akun berpotensi untuk cheating campaign signature.

9. Entah tenaga unggul atau TKI, jika kembali ke Indonesia mereka semua butuh lapangan pekerjaan yang layak. Masalahnya apakah pemerintah sanggup untuk memberikan mereka masing-masing lapangan pekerjaan baru yang sesuai dengan harapan mereka.
10. Pada dasarnya trading tidak sama dengan judi. Faktor utama kesuksesan trading yaitu ilmu (skill), sedangkan judi bergantung dengan luck (keberuntungan). Jika trading dengan cara yang benar, maka ilmu (skill) akan sangat menentukan kesuksesan. Tapi kalau tradingnya tanpa ilmu, saya setuju jika yang seperti ini sama dengan gambling.

*Sedikit saran, sebaiknya lebih selektif lagi dalam memilih post yang ingin diajukan untuk direview. 

1. Stigma yang salah terbentuk karena kurangnya pendidikan masyarakatnya. Untuk masyarakat perkotaan yang sudah modern, stigma seperti itu sudah mulai meredup. Apalagi mulai banyaknya publik figur yang sukses dengan kerja online seperti Youtuber atau online job lainnya.
2. Common sense
Walaupun member lama belum tentu mapan ilmunya, tapi untuk larangan di forum seperti plagiarism sudah pasti cukup paham. Mereka yang paham konsekuensinya tidak akan melakukan kesalahan tersebut. Apalagi konsekuensinya diban permanen.
3. Membandingkan gurun dengan lahan sawit di Indonesia kurang pas. Kalau di gurun, sudah alaminya panas dan gersang. Beda dengan lahan-lahan sawit yang tadinya subur menjadi gersang karena gencarnya penanaman sawit. Sawit membuat lahan menjadi gersang karena per harinya menyerap kurang lebih 12 liter unsur hara + air.
4. Thread agan minim informasi dan tidak ada penjelasan yang rinci dari sudut pandang agan sendiri terkait kesalahan tata kelolanya. BTW proof di sini hanya terkait Bandara Kertajati, yang sama sekali tidak membuktikan kesalahan tata kelola Pemerintah di berbagai daerah. 
5. Kalau cara menyikapinya seperti agan ini, bisa-bisa masyarakat Indonesia pindah semua ke Singapur.    Bagaimanapun, kita perlu mencari akar permasalahannya. Bukan hanya terkait nasionalisme, tapi negara kita patut malu kalau banyak warganya pindah ke negara lain. Ini juga terkait harkat dan martabat bangsa.
6. Common sense
7. Kalau salah satu pelajaran yang perlu diambil terkait investasi crypto, berarti secara tidak langsung agan sendiri mengakui kasus ini berkaitan dengan crypto. Selain itu kalau agan merasa ada motif lain, agan perlu menjelaskan alasannya. Jangan hanya sekedar menuduh tapi agan bisa memaparkan juga analisanya.
8. Agan perlu pahami bahwa letak masalahnya bukan pada status anonim atau terkenalnya, tapi pada keamanan aset kriptonya.
9. Common sense
10. Dari sekian post yang agan ajukan, menurut saya post ini yang paling bagus. Sayangnya penjelasannya tidak diikuti dengan referensi yang bisa menguatkan pendapat agan.

*Masih banyak argumen yang belum solid, perlu memperbanyak referensi, dan perhatikan konstruksinya ketika memaparkan sesuatu. Jangan sampai dalam satu paragraf, antar kalimatnya tidak saling mendukung dan poin-poin yang disampaikan tidak fokus.

Untuk aplikasi rank Hero, saya serahkan ke teman-teman lainnya yang lebih senior. Saya merasa kurang etis jika Sr mereview Hero.

Sekian review dari saya, semoga ada manfaatnya. Saya mohon maaf jika ada kata-kata yang kurang berkenan atau ada kekurangan dalam penjelasan saya. Mudah-mudahan semua teman-teman SFI cepat mencapai rank barunya masing-masing. 

The reason behind the huge dump is the media spreading mislead news about Elon Musk. The media claimed Elon Musk sold his Bitcoin, but no proof about it. I think everyone been deceived by the media and the market is being manipulated by big players.

You're right. Since BTC failed to achieve its new resistance, we can understand if the price possibly drops again. But we don't expect BTC drops around $25k again, it is something a bit surprised. Even worse, there some people predicted the price to drop again to $23k before the next pump. If there is no FUD, I believe the drop won't be as bad as today. However, as a BTC holder, we must have a strong mental whether the drop continues or not. It is just a small challenge before the bullish season comes.

In most cases, if the star players can play full time, I believe it really bring impacts on the match. The star players boost the motivation of the whole squad, so they can play with their best form. It also becomes a challenge for the opposite team because some players will be ordered to restrict/limit the star players' movement. So, it can be the advantage for the team who has the star players, there will be many open spaces for attacks. This actually improves the chance to win. Moreover, the star players can make a difference in the match because they know well how to score or deliver assists.

However, it doesn't always applies as expected. We must see in some matches, the star players can't contribute anything. For example Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo can lead Al Nassr to win Saudi club champions cup but he failed to give Al Nassr winning in some SPL matches. That's the fact that star players don't always bring positive impacts.

So, if we want to place a bet for a team which has star players, we must learn first how the current performance of the star players.

Sure, if there is a gambler who follows our bet, it is not our responsibility when it end up with a lose. As long as we don't invite them, they can't blame us. Everyone gambles with their own intention and with their own responsibility. It is strange if someone blames us because he gets a lose by following us. He mustn't gamble if he doesn't want to lose. 

Indeed. Any gambler can have their own belief. But it is untrue if a gambler blames other people because of the wrong belief. Wins or lose won't depend on the belief, it is all about the luck. So, every gambler can trust their own belief but never try to blame others. I really hate the gamblers who blame other with nonsense reasons.

Yes, the main purpose is to get entertainment, don't forget to have fun. We must trust our own way in gambling, we don't need to follow other gamblers' ways. No guarantee that those tips/tricks will work with us. Since it is mostly luck-based games, we must believe our own luck laying on our own way.

It is because not every newbie in this forum is a beginner in crypto. A few of newbie accounts may be experienced people, they just joined this forum but they already invested or traded crypto for a long time. So, we don't underestimate newbie account, not every newbie means a beginner in crypto.

For a real beginner, I agree that they need to focus on learning and get some experience first. Trading isn't something easy, it is a complex and complicated matter. If someone has a lack of knowledge and experience, it will be hard to deal with the volatility in the market. Building a proper mentality as a trader is also a serious matter. Without a strong mentality, someone will be easy to panic and think unrealistically. It should take time to master all this aspects, so beginners don't hurry to trade directly.

Sure, it should be started with small funds or using a demo account first. The focus is to learn and get experience, not to gain profits as much as possible.

I agree that the condition of economy in a country, possibly ruins the plan for holding the Bitcoin a long time. I've experienced it, the economy in my country is getting worse and the prices of all goods are increasing a lot. My job salary and my savings are no longer enough to deal with the situation. So, I have no choice, I must sell some of my Bitcoin. Since it is an urgent need, I don't care whether it is a bearish (red market) or bullish (green market). This really brings a serious impact to my plan, it reduces almost 50% of my Bitcoin asset.

Discipline is a must but it can be applied on the normal condition. But if we needs urgent money and we have no choice, selling our Bitcoin is the only option left. With the deteriorating economic status in various parts of the world, there are many people suffering their financial. It includes the Bitcoin holders. Those who struggle in their financial stability, probably difficult to keep their Bitcoin. While for Bitcoin holders who have no problem with their financial stability, must be easy to keep holding their Bitcoin. It is the fact that happening nowadays, only Bitcoin holders with strong financial level who can survive and won't be influenced by economic issues in a country.

Both are difficult to earn money. Both gambling and future trading rely on the luck to succeed. So, I prefer spot trading if my main goal is for earning money. It will be different if I want to get entertainment or take challenges while earning money. In this matter, I can choose gambling or future trading. TBH, it is always hard to earn money if we mostly only rely on the luck.

Both gambling and future trading are risky, even spot trading is also risky. None can guarantee for profits (earning money). It depends on our luck, knowledge, and experience. But I think gambling is easier if it is about how to play it, it even doesn't need specific learning. While trading is more complicated, we need to understand market nature and proper strategies to use. We also need to analyze the coins that we want to trade on the market.
