If you don't learn how to make money work for you, you're going to die working for money all your life. That's the harsh reality we live in. We must know somewhere down the line that earning passive income apart from your employment or entrepreneurial profits is the way to go, especially as things stir down to a decline in the economy. Worse comes to worst, once the economic decline do happen you'd have enough greenbacks and savings to get by, if not, even better. It's even easier now to learn about these stuff, especially with the rampancy of internet and information within it. You can literally look for a book on how to gain financial freedom while frying an egg at the same time, so really, provided that you are living quite well, you have no excuse to not learn how to be financially smart.

Right from the get-go? No, not really. But CZ eventually realized that something was fishy about FTX and the way they handle their customers funds, thus the $500 million liquidation. He's as transparent as anyone in that situation can be. He let the people know that something was wrong with FTX, which was his reason to pull out their investments in the company, whether this caused a bank run or not is still up for debate, but I'm leaning towards the latter, because losing a competitor in a still budding industry like this is tantamount to a whole infrastructure collapse. Something that he of all people, is not keen about. Anyhow, the damage has set in and we are slowly recovering from the fuckups of SBF. If you're trying to pin the blame to CZ for letting people know about the issues that FTX hid from their customers, go for it, but it doesn't change the fact that SBF mismanaged FTX funds, even went so far as to gamble some of it in hopes of recovering losses to fund customer withdrawals.

It's basically because of the fact that they cannot regulate cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoin in this situation. They argue that crime could go rampant, and energy will become a massive issue, courtesy of homemade bitcoin mining rigs, if bitcoin is allowed and legalized in their country, which to some extent is true, as some criminal activities and transactions are made through bitcoin let's be honest and the fact that as of now crypto mining is still one big detractor in energy consumption amongst the public. But as OP said in his title, it is a double-edged sword, as it definitely disempowers the public to gain financial capability through bitcoin and the employments it could offer. But the battle is almost over I reckon, more and more countries are accepting of bitcoin compared to those who are against it. Only two outcomes remain.

I wouldn't say surest really, maybe "most accessible". Because a lot of ventures out there provide long-term profit without the high volatility bitcoin entails, but the thing that sets bitcoin apart from them is the fact that it is easily accessible, even by a toddler with half-a-brain to search in the internet. As long as you have a working internet connection and some money, you can buy bitcoin easily. And there are multitudes of lessons and guides as well on how to flourish in this industry, from trading, to making your own project. This is very different from other ventures out there with trade secrets they don't want to divulge to some nobody. But again, at the end of the day, they are all equally profitable and when done right, would lead you to financial freedom. Be very careful with instilling information to your kids.

If I'm being honest the last week's price of bitcoin is a little insignificant for me, as I believe that the bear market is still far from over despite what other analysts and people may think or predict. Bitcoin and the crypto market is cyclical, and it follows a pattern, in the times that it didn't, it's because there was a huge paradigm shift that happened, prompting people to go bullish on buying cryptocurrencies and bitcoin as a result. This is no different, in fact, the next halving wouldn't happen til sometime next year, so if you'll ask me, unless something major is to happen within this year, I wouldn't put my hopes up on bitcoin entering a bullish season within this year.

ChatGPT is a powerful assistant tool, but through my usage of it over time (I'm a copywriter, and I use a ChatGPT to help supplant me with ideas and new words to use and abuse throughout my works), I would lie if I say it wasn't useful, but it's not on par with how we work. ChatGPT, despite the fact that it is marketed as a conversational and human-like chat tool, still lacks a couple areas in authenticity which makes it stand out when checking comes around. So I don't think the tool will effectively destabilize or even replace white collar work, what I predict will happen is that the tool will be an aid to many people especially within the aforementioned white-collar-sector where it would be indispensable.

Indeed. But I do think these sign-up bonuses are just there to really trick you into signing up to their platform. Which works for a lot of people. But the main thing is that, well they wanna have you registered to track your progress and activity within their platform, so it's a win-win for the casino and for you. Some may say professional gamblers won't settle for bonuses but those only apply to them. Most gamblers out here do not intend to gamble for fame and acclaim, we either gamble for money and entertainment. So these bonuses are specifically perfect and made for us.

You barely gave us anything to work with in terms of why we should choose your platform, let alone a reason why we should switch with the ones we have already got accustomed with. Licensing? really? we literally have a lot of reputable casinos out here with licenses that could vouch for themselves, I don't think having a license sets you apart from the main competitors in the market. I do think you need a lot when it comes to promotions, as well as setting people's expectations because just posting something like that here won't do, it even makes your site suspicious if I do say so myself. A lot of good peeps here can put you up with a campaign organizer that could help you promote your project, you should try that.

  Exactly. Some people out here really making it look like choosing the right casino for you is like looking for the holy grail with all these subjective opinions. What OP wants is a fool-proof system or at least a good recommendation, not some highfalutin bs like some people here. I had to give OP a list of what they want to look for in a casino. While some people give opinions on why this is better, some even praising him for opening a thread which is praise-worthy, don't get me wrong, but it really diverts the topic of what OP wants. Ultimately he just needs to research and decide for themselves if they want to invest their time and effort on this particular casino.

At most times it is subjective but for me it doesn't have to be. There are telltale signs of a casino being great and that's where I mostly bank on. Sure, tastes could really affect how you would answer OP's questions but this guy is most likely a newbie, I don't think giving him/her your subjective opinion about how to choose a good casino is going to help him. I'm looking at comments from these people giving him circular definitions of things when it could just be plain and simple. They clearly want help, we should give them objective thoughts only and remove bias from the setting.

I'll keep it simple for you. When you are looking for a gambling site that you wanna stick with, or at least a gambling site where you wanna start off you gambling journey, there's four things you should look out for.

• Security
• Reputation
• Customer Service
• Rewards and Bonuses

Security: First and foremost. You don't wanna deal with a shady business, let alone a gambling casino where things are really dodgy from a customer's perspective. You also have to check if they have security measures in place to prevent hacking and theft of funds. If they don't, you should stand away from them.
Reputation: Stick to casinos that received positive reviews and ratings from people here in this forum or from reputable networking sites. Check against their reviews if such claims exist and if not possible, then maybe just check how much positive reviews people give to a particular casino to help you decide.
Customer Service: Arguably the most important thing you should look out for. The casino world is not without issues and problems, what sets the good casinos from the great ones is the quality of their customer service. A good casino may offer customer service, but no immediate solution that will really help you, while a great casino will help every step of the way to make sure that your issues are solved.
And finally, I don't really consider this much when looking for a casino but since you're starting off, this could help you well.
Rewards and Bonuses: To get the most bang out of your buck, you might wanna look for casinos with good rewards and bonuses, as well as sign-in bonuses and deposit rewards to give you more to work with.

It's not about the rewards in itself. It's about repaying their loyalty with something from the casino itself. I myself would feel appreciative if I get a personal message or an email from someone on the top seats of the casino thanking me for staying and choosing to stay loyal to their house over the years, I'm sure that's what OP's point is. He just wants to feel as if the casino is seeing him, all throughout the millions of dollars he invested in them. Sure, you can argue that it's all about money and OP is just being entitled, but don't you think he deserved it? He literally spent $1.344 mil on a single casino, albeit with a winning edge against the casino but that's besides the point.

I don't understand why Niemann could sue Carlsen, as far as I know he didn't say anything that is greatly damaging to Niemann's image, only a cryptic tweet and a resignation on move 1. Niemann is acting out of defense here lmao, so much that he looks and sounds as if he's really guilty and is trying to pin the blame on the Carlsen and a harmless website who just happened to see that his moves are a little too computer-like. I don't know where this case will end up to but suing chess.com and Carlsen isn't really going to help with his reputation within the chess community. He's gonna be known for being the man with the beads up his ass until the heat death of the universe.

I understand the frustration that is coming from OP's part, but I think this bonus that their friends are getting is simply to boost the confidence of these people to bet on the site, and since OP is clearly a high-roller, the company didn't feel the need to give him any more bonuses which I still think is absurd. I do think a lot of bookmakers and casinos as of late have been very complacent in giving their most loyal customers a fair and just treatment, after all, what's a couple hundred dollars gonna do against their millions of dollars in funding? So why are they withholding from providing appropriate rewards to people. I think the phone call is more than enough evidence that they really just don't want to give him the rewards or bonus at all. "We wouldn't give you any bonus because our system finds that you are actually winning against the casino". That is just absurd, he is obviously a die-hard customer of them, I don't see why they can't give him the bonus they give out to one-time bettors on their site.

With how Biden is acting lately, the trust of the common people to him are slowly diminishing. He's showing signs of dementia too, which is not a good thing to say the least and certainly not something that you would want for your president. Trump, despite how asinine his last few months in the term, is slowly gaining traction once again within the MAGA community so I do think Trump is gonna win over Biden this time, should Biden run for presidency again. There's Sanders, which I think will have a fighting chance as well, but I don't really see him winning against Trump when he already lost if I'm not mistaken around 2 or 3 elections against him.

As the cornerstone of this betting strategy lies within the notion that most superfans tend to be uninformed and are therefore betting only for the sake of supporting their teams, I think this will work. Especially for national games wherein little to no amount of research between players and teams are involved, thus ensuring that indeed little to no reliable information is being passed around amongst these fans. However, I don't see this working internationally, for sports that involve multiple countries pitting against each other like the World Cup, because the teams are made up of the best players, and there's no singular crowd that really defines who's the veteran and who's the underdog team.

As far as I know, minimum deposit and withdrawals are parameters set by the gambling house to ensure that what they are dealing with is human, and is not a hacker who tries to make profit out of their house. Now in the case of whether these limits connote something on the side of the gambler, or in this case a would-be-gambler, then it highly depends on the outlook of that person. There's no singular answer to whether they'd think the house is forcing them to gamble more, or the house is making them gamble regardless of whatever amount they have, coz at the end of the day if they want to gamble they will gamble, and frankly enough if you are on a tight budget that you can only afford to gamble 10 bucks or less I would highly suggest you don't waste it on gambling.

Everything comes down to having a plan and being disciplined enough to follow through with said plan. As long as you have a concrete plan that you will be willing to follow, there's no way losing money over gambling is gonna get to you. Personally, I employ a three-loss-three-wins plan. Whenever I get as much as three wins in one sitting, I call it a day even if I still feel lucky. Same goes with losses, this way, I make sure I don't get addicted and that my funds are kept in check, in such that they don't dry up in one sitting. I suggest you try that plan out too if you're still lost with what to employ, or maybe think of a plan that really resonates with you.

I think any method in which bitcoin is used as a means to transact is a good enough way to promote its usage to the general public. Although I think it would suffice if steps on how to create bitcoin wallets as well as funding them to let the ones who are not that savvy with bitcoin know. Cause in my opinion it would only cater towards those who already have bitcoin in their pockets. I think a huge signage or a poster on your store where you let people know you accept bitcoin payments could be good too. This is good. that actually makes sense. Exactly, discounts on bitcoin payments could work too so people are urged to use bitcoin as a payment option, and a good way to entice those who are not using bitcoin as well. Pair this with a good infographic on how to create bitcoin wallets as well as how to fund them, and your target demographic is set!

Agreed. I noticed it too for quite some time and that mentality is pretty common and easily instilled amongst the newbies. Somehow the pros and the veterans aren't so much indoctrinated by said notion. Then again for me it's all a matter of capacity really. If you think you can still carry on holding coins despite the bear market, then by all means hold them til the bull market comes around. But if you greatly depend on the value of those coins you own then I highly suggest you pull out some, or maybe even all of it if ever. After all the not losing is still winning, and in this case we have to mitigate the losses you incur which will only be possible if you pull your coins out at an opportune time.
