Going all in, isn't a bad technique for some card games like Poker. Often times, it works for me and I enjoy going all in, especially when my card ranks at straight flush and some times flush. I don't encourage using such technique recklessly, because when winning is not guaranteed it'll be a waste of funds. Like OP said, it's risky, but if one wins, it covers for the losses and lands the player back in game with profits.  Quite correct, I feel good to play all in, even when I lose out my bet, yet I'm not addicted and not feeling any sign of addiction. Since, there is a possibility of winning, it's not boredom that leads me to do that, also I see it as part of the game, if I win I keep playing if not I leave. I've seen good gamblers, who engage in such practice and indeed it's fun. However, it's not for everyone to go all in, because most players will feel like they made the wrong decision.

From the Linked thread, I think the Op focused more on the P2P aspect of bitcoin. And his thread also centered on the today usage of bitcoin as B2P transactions. While questioning what Satoshi's reaction would be regarding the diverse usage of bitcoin. In your thread Op, we can see a detailed quotes of Satoshi's intentions in the past, and the usage of bitcoin as a commodity too, yet it doesn't answer the question of the previous thread, which has a guess answer. Because we don't know Satoshi's recent thoughts. And can't rely on the responses he made more than 10 years ago, as what he thinks of the use of bitcoin today. He made it open source and decentralized so that anybody can make out of bitcoin what they could. In my response, bitcoin belongs to the community; developers, miners, users and investors. We all contributed to the growth of bitcoin, publicity and otherwise. So, Satoshi as the inventor may have little or no reaction to what bitcoin is today. Similar to many other inventions, cars, electricity etc, the inventor's initial thought of providing cars, may not be how cars are used today, I mean we have electric cars. Hence, bitcoin is being innovated, yet it doesn't change the background of bitcoin. It's now a thing of choice for individual users and developers to fit into the innovation as they will. Satoshi is not expected to be bothered about the use of centralized exchanges to trade bitcoin. And also the fact that people now store their funds on CEX. It's no longer under his jurisdiction as the inventor of bitcoin. What matters is that bitcoin is in order and the network works like he left it. Today we have LN and other projects on layer 2 to fasten the use of bitcoin. We forget that the B2P and other added usage of bitcoin boils down to Satoshi's explanation of bitcoin as a positive and negative feedback loop. Since he wanted people to use bitcoin, many ideas will be created to help achieve his goals. The centralized wallets, exchanges, defi, etc all have contributed to the growth and fall of bitcoin price one way or another. In a nutshell, it's important to note that, many more innovations will come through Bitcoin and Satoshi may not have thought of it in the initial stage of developing bitcoin.

It's important to understand how bitcoin address work. It is designed in such a way that even if you make an omission in the address the possibility is very low that the transaction will go through. It won't be accepted by miners because it'll be wrong.


Except in a such a situation like clipboard attack. That's the relevance of crosschecking the address. As the attack is increasing with multiple methods by the attacker, they've gotten to the stage of manipulating qr codes as well. Aside that, it's almost impossible for a mistake in an address, make a bitcoin transaction go through successfully.

I prefer reading such sites, especially those that provide resources to where they got their information. It'll only take few dedication for any bitcoin user to read through all the courses and understand more about bitcoin. I'll personally go through them gradually, especially the lightning network course. The few course sites I've read are not rich with information about LN. Such sites as this, is not only meant for newbies, any body can read them to understand bitcoin and add knowledge to existing ones. I'd advise newbies to ask questions regarding any term or information they don't understand on the website. It'll help the learning process of the newbie or reader and as well put some informative thread on the forum for everyone else to read and participate. Great resource OP.

My encouragement to the newbies here is to read harder the tech behind bitcoin and basics of bitcoin. The forum recognise members with deep knowledge in bitcoin. The higher the knowledge of bitcoin a member harness the stronger the love. If a newbie reads and studies bitcoin to understand new features and developments being added to bitcoin, they'll love to discuss more about bitcoin and stay active in the forum. Newbies who create posts with few knowledge on bitcoin, their thread will only be attended to like any other random posts in the forum. But if they create posts out of strong and rich information about bitcoin such that other members can, through the thread, refresh their memories or learn new info about the growth of bitcoin. The newbie will feel a certain amount of fulfilment for learning bitcoin and the merit, which OP tagged as success can come subsequently to such newbie for learning bitcoin. The merit can facilitate the newbies to take action and read further to increase their knowledge of bitcoin.  A lot of newbies leave the forum because their posts don't seem important and no merits awarded to them, they'll quit the forum. That's why I encourage newbies to read extensively on bitcoin, they will see a better result in their personal response to bitcoin and also make new friends here in the forum.

Yes, cryptocurrency projects build communities on twitter and the crypto traffic on the platform is increasing. Ever since Elon started billing people for blue tick and paying influencers for ad revenue. I knew he'll run out of funding or maintenance of such payments. I've not been active on twitter, but the platform is no longer fun, low quality and non educative contents keep popping up on my timeline. Now, asking every user to pay for using twitter will definitely add to the number of people that'll leave the platform. Elon is not the best person to manage twitter. He runs it for his personal advantage alone. The money he spent on buying the platform, he wants to triple it real quick. It's actually a bad moment for twitter users and those who use the platform for marketing purposes. Personally, I can't pay to use twitter, there are other social media platforms where I can promote products or pay for ads.  One good thing with Musk is that he knows publicity a lot, he gets too many attention with twitter, anytime he changes or talks about making new rules. 

It'll be difficult for everyone to move fully into renewable energy, as the means of getting these energy resources isn't cheap. A lot of people living off grid use renewable energy, yet not all can afford its maintenance. Let's take solar for instance, most times the battery get weak, even after charging for a long time. The inverter still need electric energy to be charged completely, which can enable it to power big house facilities like fridge, Tv etc. Electricity bill is expensive, but it remains the best form of energy. Renewable energy is fine, but the question of 100% usage isn't guaranteed. Hence, if the government sponsor such things for her citizens it'll be another form of tax and bills, which is not encouraged. Renewable energy, with its disadvantages, is best sponsored individually. I've seen lots of solar powered house owners complaining about panels malfunctioning or having to add more panels often times to power more facilities. The advantage is great, at least constant electricity, in our homes and no need for fuel to power anything. In countries, where the sun intensity is high, solar energy can solve great problems for users. I'm only concerned about the maintenance aspect of it, thereby requiring extra funding from the users.

I didn't get it, your points here doesn't collide with what OP said about non bitcoin holders. Unless I read it wrongly, but the non bitcoin holders are interested in the bitcoin bull run, because they'll benefit as well. They'll be a huge movement in the price of their altcoins. It's fine to sell during the bull, for profit reasons, but regrettable when selling at the wrong time. And that's why hodlers must stay observant to correctly indicate the beginning of bear season after the bullish run.  On the other hand, are we just trusting on the halving season as a bullish moment because of past positive reactions of bitcoin price after halving. I mean isn't it speculation or prediction. Is they any algorithm that backs the trust of having a bullish run after halving. However, if the price of bitcoin goes up others follow, and it makes it the father indeed. Because bitcoin is talked about in media, a lot of TV stations and financial blogs always discuss bitcoin during bull run, and it helps the growth of cryptocurrency market in general.  Despite the risk involved many people will invest or look for altcoins with small prices to invest, hoping for huge profits during the bull run.  

Some families don't encourage gambling due to religious belief, but they play with their kids, card games or other board games featured or can be found on different casinos. I've seen parents playing casino board games like Joker with their kids, without staking any funds. It's not bad for the kid to engage in games, the only issue starts if we teach them about the monetary aspect of playing such games. In most cases, when the kid grows up and find casino games similar to the ones they played as kids, they can venture into it. The duty of the parents is to advise them to do it at the right time. On the other hand, peer pressure can affect the child to gamble before reaching the appropriate age according to their country. So, in Op's experience, it's not bad for kids to play games, it helps to keep their brain busy, brain development. I mean they play video games, casinos provide demo, or the parent can download such game into the child's mobile phone to play. Gambling is whenever money is staked when participating in a game. Not when a child is just playing a game.  Nobody wants their child to gamble money, but it's our duty as parents to figure out methods to give our kids the best treatment.  If a child watch you gamble, it's wrong to tell them that it's gamble or that it's bad to play such game. It'll leave the kid to ponder about why you said such and why you play it. That's why it's great to find such free games on appstores for the kids to play or engage with them with some card games during your leisure. 

No kyc casinos are backed with crucial benefits, like secure privacy, that attract players to stake games with them. It's never simple to give out our information to casinos, the government need them to track some illicit activities, but on the player's side the repercussion is much. I'd say that a casino, should respect the government, yet anyone that wish to secure the privacy of their customer can follow with no KYC. And it's both for their benefits, and players who gamble there can also understand that such no kyc casinos have disadvantages. The casino can be closed by the government if need arises for disobeying the KYC policy. Offshore casinos hosted in isolated areas is capable of going no KYC with lesser risk of being banned by the government. When I see a no kyc casino I'd think of it that the casino for hidden backup or reasons for doing such. Maybe to garner more customers for the time being and comply if the government requires them to follow KYC policy. When playing in a no kyc casino, keeping funds on the casino can be very risky, because of the unpredictable intervention of the government.

Entering the cryptocurrency market, dedication and interest is required. At first, you had no interest and time was wasting, then when you did develop some interest, it was with some altcoin that didn't perform well. Having patience with the wrong coin, is always a time waste. If, Op, showed some dedication in cryptocurrency, by reading or researching before investing, he'll would have made lesser losses. As all those money invested into some shitcoin, would have been allocated into bitcoin, then patience will be the best tool for Op, as a stable income earner. It's a good thing you joined here and wants to explore the market. It'll be helpful to ask here before investing on any coin.


Having been around social platform like telegram, always stay clear from group member's unsolicited offers, most groups are filled with scam projects. The forum, can guide you to the right direction and teach you the best things of cryptocurrency. Like, already mentioned above, don't allocate all your fiat or earnings into cryptocurrency. Always follow it slowly and observe how the market works; the bull and bear market fluctuations

That will be as a result of careless attitude of the player, by keeping an easy to brute-force passwords. But, hackers rarely go for individual accounts, they target the big cow, the casino. And such attack cannot be enforced because of the balance of a player. Casinos become prey to hackers, when hackers discover how huge the amount of money the casino is holding. Or the kind of endorsement deal the casino give to celebrities. So, nobody can be sure what led to the attack of a casino. That's why players who think the money on their casino balance is too much or can affect them if anything happens, should withdraw.


Their available balance, no matter how big it is for others, can be what you're talking about for them. Not all gamblers keep their life savings saved in a casino. It's meant for gambling and they have money in banks or wallets. Only an irresponsible player will do that, going all in with their savings.

Trusting gambling platforms with your personal details is vague, it's risky as we can't explain how they store the data. The increase of leaked or sold documents of people, is a disadvatage of KYC. Many players do not give their real information, they buy it. I'll always prefer the non kyc casino due to its fast registration process. But, casinos accept KYC to provide atleast an information of a player, indulging in money laundering. If not, the Government can hold the casino responsible for supporting such action. Yet the disadvantages goes back to other innocent players, who submit their real documents. Security conscious players, who understand this, don't go for KYC casino. Any reputable no KYC casino, though rare, will experience rapid growth in players. Meddling with our documents online, just for gambling isn't encouraged. It's better to play in physical casino.


I don't think casinos care about, if a gambler is responsible or not. The best available care they show on vulnerable individuals is to write the "play responsibly" advise on their TOS. On the other hand, they also use KYC to keep track of underage players, but, its already late if the casino asks this during withdrawal. The underage person gambled already, before asking or investigating to know if they're qualified to gamble. Even, teenager have means of tricking the casino, with the details of adults. Casinos are concerned about traffic and profits, they invest little effort in eliminating irresponsible gambling. Another good actions casinos take against addicted gamblers, is by finding out if a player has been banned by another casino for being addicted, and then terminate their account or ban them too.

A gambler glued to a relationship, not sure the type Op is referring to, should always look out for their loved ones. If they spend such a huge of resources, more than their earning, definitely the relationship won't stay peaceful. Some players gamble with their spouse, which helps the fun, and also enhance healthy gambling. Whenever a party in the relationship, is not conducive with gambling, it can also ruined the bond. However, not every relationship can be quivered by the gambling behavior of their spouse. Some true relationships support or encourage their friend or family to gamble happily and responsible. Hence, gambling cannot separate some type of family entirely, despite the financial dispute it may have caused them. Newly met spouse or formed home can be broken if money finishes or insufficient food to eat. That will or can be the fault of the gambler for putting gambling first in his family. I'd, always, say that in anything regarding gambling. It cannot be generalized, to some people it's possible, and others, not possible. Because people think and adapt differently.   

While everyone thinks its for show off, lets not forget that most people are ignorant. They are similar to traders that keep funds on exchanges. I've left some good amount in a casino and even felt comfortable leaving them there, because it helped me gamble swiftly and keeps my bank roll high at all times. Also, it depends on the gambling strategy of the player, some people wants to pause gambling at will, not because of insufficient balance. Additionally, if a player sets some funds apart for gambling and wins through the funds, it'll be great to play with his winnings, and save his fiats for other things. However, it's risky, but the effect can be different for individual players, when the casino malfunctions or goes offline. But, these casinos, some, are registered with physical offices. If such thing as a casino going offline occurs, affected players have a physical office they can approach or sue to get back their money. Though it's rare for an online casino to go offline without prior warning or problems that'll signify players to get off their funds. Hence, players who do that, should always stay observant, to be on a safe side. Don't forget that some gamblers have lots of money, their only problem is where to keep it.

Winning triggers excessive gambling in most gamblers. When a gambler wins, he'll think of doing it multiple times and if losses increases, the winning of others can influence a losing gambler to continue staking funds. And not all gamblers are coached to gamble responsibly. Their fun depends on the gambling result; win or lose. Because the winning goes back into gambling the fun diminishes gradually. Their wins don't shape their life positively, but their minds keeps telling them that gambling is the right path to follow. And in the society today, with difficulties and expensive produces, friends and family care to help their wards stop gambling addiction. Causing anger on the side of the gambler, even while he gambles. The fun goes, money brings it back then the money goes. Seasonal fun is not complete, and only those who focus on the gambled money get such fun. Professional gamblers may have constant joy, because it doesn't affect their entire wealth. While gamblers, who stake all their money into gambling will stay sad or addicted in gambling.

The street have several form of gambling activities and games, with huge rewards, which may not be won. In some localities I've seen gamblers offered different kinds of electronics, but they never win them. Many of them lose money frequently, yet they continue playing. There was some tricks, like co gamblers coming to gamble with strangers, and concealing the fact that they're colleagues. You'll think you're playing with different customers, but they all work together. So, the losing rate is always high for the victim. The addiction rate for street gamblers is always difficult to control. They rarely understand, when the whole gambling setting is a con. The offers and reward that attracts them to gamble, are all scam, but they don't stop staking games. An online cryptocurrency gambler may not stake their phones, but in the streets people do that, even expensive jewelries. A lot of offline gamblers, gamble irresponsibly. In some cases, they gamble on credit and end up having issues with the owner of the gambling business. The addictive behavior of both set of gamblers, may not differ, but the offline players are exposed to lots of risky opportunities, when they're out of bank roll.

Gambling addiction can circulate in a family, which behavior may not be conducive for the society. Addiction grows and if not moderated or attended to, can cause a huge disadvantage to the economy of the society. The waste of resources is always bad for the society. The money generated through gambling by the government is rarely used to attend to the addicted people. Assuming addicted players are cared for by the government, they'll be able to control or minimize such disorders in the society. Nobody, stops gambling in the society because it can be conducted anywhere, by peers or secretly. Hence, gambling is now a part of the society, and the number of gamblers increase everyday. Sports is booming. The world is in a rough time, humans aggressively searching for transient fun. We'll be expecting a rapid increase in gambling activities; money is fun. Gambling addiction is destructive, unlike pressing your phone every morning, it can lead to a big debt, suicide etc. The problem it imposes on youths and Men, Is it worth the little reward or infrastructures gambling money offers the society? Addicted players get little love or get neglected, during their emotional struggle. Thereby rendering them into a a worse condition and suffering. The only issue with the importance of gambling in society is that it doesn't cater for the disadvantages of gambling.

How then do you accept his prediction of bitcoin price? he's not fully into cryptocurrency he only uses the traffic to gain more sales or popularity to his books. In my view, he wants to portray bitcoin as the kind of investment people should buy, but you rarely see him talk about the disadvantages of such investment. In his book, he promoted real estate business, not crypto. Why is he flaunting cryptocurrency all over his social media? The floor is open for him to write a well detailed book about cryptocurrency, before we take his predictions and information seriously. I've seen people like him, who take back their advise immediately cryptocurrency price crashes, they'll not say a word and when they do, it'll be condemning the mistakes of investors who invested into crypto. Nobody, can tell or explain how soon it'll take for bitcoin to hit 120k even after the halving. On the other hand, he claims that the rich dad bought some hotels in the US that's still operating till date, have seen his interviews where he said such. The stories in his book doesn't sound like fiction.



I think your question should be a fresh thread, in the right board, as it's not contributing to this thread. The essence of replying under a post is to add more flairs and value to it, not asking a different question, that doesn't add up to OPs idea or writeup. It can change the subsequent answers under the post, thereby belittling the value of the thread and may not be educational to the readers of the thread.

More reasons low skilled employees should advance their skills to a competitive standard, such that they won't run short of work. Greedy employers don't care about their employees, and interpret the employee's request as too demanding. As if the employee invest the fund and time somewhere else other than the same company. If an employer removes a skilled worker from the number of staff in the company. He'll be affected in no distant time, as he may not get a replica of that skilled person, he removed. But the skilled person, will easily find a better paying and conducive job that values his help and intelligence. Hence, if a person is well skilled in his field, unemployment rate shouldn't frighten them. For instance, a professional sales person, who generate or earns high income, when he losses his job, finding a unique company will be simple. So, employees should endeavor to learn and be vast in their field of practice. Because employers don't care anymore once they get the result, they wished to see. Once the employer's goes is achieved, paying of salaries will be difficult, which delays the financial growth of the employees. Moreover it's important to work ahead of the current situation in our work place, create new stream of incomes. Provide people what they want. If not, get ready to be a modernized slave to the boss.
