I do agree with your statement.

The Chinese government, as a communist, wants control over their resources, technology, and economy. The fact that lots of Chinese miners started the trend of BTC mining was a threat viewed by their government due to the freedom BTC provided. Due to this, they implemented stringent regulations to the point that it ultimately prohibited cryptocurrencies in their country.

Japan, a country known for its technological advancement, is taking advantage of cryptocurrencies by its lenient regulations. They allow its utilization as they see its value in the long-term standard of payment.

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but chess GMs have one thing different from other normal chess players like us- they are genetically born with it.

Imagine, Magnus Carlsen at a very young age can calculate lines in his head blindfolded. I remember watching a chess video where Magnus was able to defeat more than 10 players simultaneously blindfolded in an exhibition match. Even if we do train for 24-hours a day, which is seemingly impossible, I really doubt that we will be able to reach the height of these super GMs in the chess field.

Like what you also mentioned, Magnus does not have to prove anything to the chess world. He is undoubtedly, the best chess player in history especially in the era of chess engines.

Siguro yung biggest issue ko dito is yung lack of its feature of sending/receiving cryptocurrencies and conveniently converting them to your desired cash or outlet. Yun yung reason kung bakit patuloy ko pa rin ginagamit si coins.ph dahil sa convenient na feature na ito.

Pero tama ka OP, in the future panigurado na ma-iimplement ito. The fact na nagkakaroon na ng competitor si coins.ph sa platform na ganito means na healthy ang magiging outcome ng BTC dito sa bansa. Siguro ang isa ko pang hinihintay is yung GCash wallet, which I think is going to be the main competitor of coins.ph once it releases.

Good thing that the fire did not burn your whole place down- though it is very unfortunate to hear that your video card got burnt.

A few questions on my mind: is your place properly ventilated? Where is your mining rid also located? How is the climate on your country? These factors affect ultimately the outcome of your mining rig as it directly affect the proper temperature required for the rig to properly function. But you are right, there are no shortcuts to mining and purchasing cheap products to substitute for some parts would likely cause the issue of this.

I beg to disagree- the funds of the government are absolutely high than you think. The debt of my country is around trillions of dollars at this point, in which it is possible for a country to store and receive all the circulating BTCs in the market. But the question is, why would the government do this? There is no economic benefit especially in the long-run if they do this. In fact, they just bring more harm than good to their economy if they decide to do this move.

In addition, it somehow defeats the purpose of decentralization if the government were to acquire majority or all of the BTCs in the market (which is nearly impossible to happen).

I think you should add another option in the poll of "feeling dissatisfied" with the results. Being dissatisfied does not entirely that they feel depressed, as the latter connotes a more emotional and deep loss due to their gambling activities.

Personally, what I feel after playing in the casino in the last 10 sessions depends on the outcome. Most of the time, my winnings are just balanced by the wins and losses; there were also times were I felt dissatisfied since I lost some cash; and there were also times were I was ecstatic due to winning relatively large amounts of winnings in one night.

I actually doubt so- majority of the people participating into this campaign are the ones who have alt accounts who were previously negatively tagged due to an infarction to the forum rules. Since most of their accounts are just lying around, they took advantage of this "scheme" to participate into 1xbit campaign purely for profits and money.

To be honest, I also do think that the people advertising 1xbit believes that the latter is a scam gambling website. But just because they are paying users in attractive rates, they are just taking advantage of this pay at the end.

If you are looking for an advice, it is essential that you provide all the details necessary for your help. Since you mentioned that you bought "many tokens", please indicate next time which tokens you purchased so that people would have an idea about its information and data.

Due to the lack of complete information, it is somehow difficult to speculate which token may be applicable to your given case. But for your reassurance, cryptocurrencies are highly volatile in price. Either its price increases or decreases depending on the circumstances. Since you mentioned that the price is much lower than the money you bought with it, try having a price threshold of the maximum amount you are willing to lose.

In addition to convincing him to proper securing his asset, I would also like to recommend that investing BTC for retirement does not entirely mean that you have to HODL for a certain long period of time. For example, half of the $50,000 ($25,000) can be used as a short-term investment where your friend may convert to cash once the price of BTC increases in the market.

Remember that the volatility of BTC's price makes it a perfect opportunity to invest in either short or long-term. Since its price already reached an all-time-high of $60,000, chances are that it would probably reach that price again in the near future.

Like what I mentioned to my previous replies, the Martingale strategy only works if you have a decent amount of capital that can shoulder the exponential loss if you were to experience a losing streak. Unfortunately, most see this method as the most convenient way of gambling but this is also the most risky due to its nature.

One gambling myth that I heard from my country is that you should feed the remains of your ancestors to cockfighting chickens so that they could win their match. When my grandfather passed away, his body was cremated, thus some of his bones remained solid (though fragmented). My father used some of the bones as chicken feeders which was mixed into their food since they believed that it would give him a winning outcome in the fight.

I think the post adheres to the time that rewards are most likely be given more compared to the usual time where gamblers gamble. For example, if there are promotional giveaways depending on the month where the person gamblers (e.g. Christmas or holidays), most likely that gambling websites would offer more bonuses and rewards per bet.

This guide gives a timeframe on which time to gamble, not specifically for slots as it maximizes the rewards that the person is betting on. But you are partly right- these promotions are only catered towards people who gamble for profit and not for entertainment.

Ahh so sa BloomX, need pa ng confirmation by their office before you can withdraw your funds? So subject siguro nila to under their discretion whether to accept or the reject the transfer? May mga cases ba na nag request ka for cashout pero na deny ito? Curious talaga ako dito since nag hahanap ako ng alternatives to cash out my BTCs given na restrictive si coins.ph dito.

Siguro one downside dito is that makakapag cash out ka lang during their office hours kaya medyo limited yung timeframe kung kailan ka makakuha. Pero siguro in a way, mas lalo kang makakapag ipon if ganito yung system.

Given that Mixers make your transactions more anonymous by mixing funds with other transactions, no wonder that governments are against it and they are consistently tracking them down. I remember, there was a mixer being advertised here in this forum and it was subsequently closed due to regulations and implementation issues.

Expect more mixers to be targeted consistently by the government due to their nature being highly risky and potentially dangerous to the public. Though I am against it, if the government decides to pursue something, they will be relentless and unforgiving at the same time.

As far as I know, there are tons of gambling-related news by just searching in Google. You would find most of what you need by utilizing the search bar on a search engine and you decide, based from your discretion, which news outlet/website is most trusted and used.

Though personally, gambling-related news should be more advertised. I do think that by consistently showing data and statistics of players who win vs who losses, this would somehow help in preventing gambling addiction as a whole.

Actually, while this may be true, having a support system here in the forum gives gamblers the extra sense of security that an entity or a project is actually caring for them.

Most gamblers are addicted due to the nature of their addiction, stemming from a need that they have to do. For example, gamblers typically gamble in order to pay for their expenses, bills, etc. while only a fraction of gamblers do such act purely out of entertainment. The former is most likely to suffer from addiction and bankruptcy.

This kind of initiative is what we need in this forum- something free and open that anyone could speak. Given that there are gambling advertisements all throughout, this kind of movement is highly appreciated.

Maganda talaga sana coins.ph for an exchange. Very convenient ito and ang dali mag convert from crypto to cash para makapag bayad ka ng mga bills, etc. Pero over the years na ginagamit ko si coins.ph, mas lalo silang nagiging restrictive and strict sa TOS nila.

I remember, wala pang EKYC before siguro around years of 2017. When they implemented EKYC, they even asked for my GCash transaction history, etc. para lang ma-prove na legit yung origin ng funds ko. Now na naging okay na ang lahat, when they found out na yung proceeds ng BTC ko ay nanggagaling sa isang gambling website, they restricted and limited my withdrawal limits.

Kaya to be honest, nag hihintay talaga ako na magkaroon ng malaking competitor si coins.ph kasi medyo sumosobra na talaga sila sa regulations nila.

I doubt so- while both may have their respective risks, trading cannot be likened to gambling.

Gambling is the act of participating into various games (e.g. cards, slots, etc.) with the risk of either winning/losing depending on the wagered amount. On the other hand, trading involves the skill of anaylzing both the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that will arrive and support your conclusion whether to purchase or to sell your coins. While both may involve their respective risks, they have different mechanics that would dictate the pace of your investments.

Generally, gambling is more flexible in a way that you can experiment with other games that would yield you higher chances of winning. Unlike in gambling, trading is more of studying the market and accurately predicting the price.

Simple: because bitcointalk.org is the largest and biggest cryptocurrency forum out there.

While there may be some forums similar as to this one, the biggest difference lies also on who created the website. Imagine, the person who started this innovative idea was also the one who created this forum. Given that factor, lots of people and traffic are also in this forum which makes it the most active cryptocurrency forum to date. Lots of companies and businesses have used this platform to advertise, sell, and buy various products in exchange for cryptocurrencies.

Even if there may be lots of forums about cryptocurrencies, the fact still remains that people are active here.

Well, you could say that there are some people who made a fortune HODLing majority of their BTCs at their designated wallets.

While majority of these people have sold their BTCs during the time when its price was relatively low, there are a quite few people that I know that HODLed their BTCs and until now, they have quite a few at their wallets. But imagine if you were one of those people who were fortunate enough to have lots of BTCs back in the days, chances are that you would probably sold them at a price around $100 when it first came out.

Why not keep both? While I understand that you cannot serve two masters at once, you can use your office job as a startup in order to build that capital needed for your business in the future. Being an entrepreneur means that you have to sacrifice your time and focus on developing something that the public would need.

If you lack the business capital for the business, then I highly suggest to earn money using your job in order to fund it for your business. Investing into cryptocurrencies may provide an extra layer of security as this may guarantee profit depending on its price on the market.
