1841  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Education seems to have failed in some developing country on: September 26, 2022, 11:58:23 AM
Education naturally doesn't ensure a job. It actually factors in more than your skill, which includes your social capability as well as knowledge on knowing how to find jobs that are well paid. Education is like a single pillar that you build, but there's a lot of self-study/research that you have to do to build the other pillars. Heck you can build the education pillar part yourself given enough time imo.

I think the biggest thing education gives you is a certification that you went to one, and that's it. It sets a certain criteria of what to expect from you so companies hiring can easily see what you can and can't bring, letting them make an easy jdugement of your capabilities.
1842  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My worst day in gambling on: September 26, 2022, 05:13:16 AM
I also gambled quite a bit back when I was in high school but it never really went past that level like OPs. I've spent money yes, pretty big compared to my normal but never enough to well bring ruin to my current state then.

I guess the biggest damn day of my gambling was on my first paycheck, basically spent it all in gambling back then (I was pretty invested after winning considerably before then), which basically made living through the month pretty hard. Still better than most I guess, but it was still a rather difficult time for me that has relation wtih gambling.
1843  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All I need to teach my employees about Bitcoin on: September 25, 2022, 10:55:00 AM
I don't think you need to go in-depth that much, especially if they're just employees that accept the payment. Probably make a separate kind of seminar of sorts if you want to fully teach them about Bitcoin, but if it's just payment, then create/adopt a simplified method like qr scanning so that your employees have a much easier time (same as customers), as well as future employees. No need to overcomplicate it but as I said, you can teach them on a different occassion.

It's not like they know what fiat is at it's core tbf, they probably just know it's adopted and accepted globally.
1844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i get banned for Card Counting in online casinos? on: September 25, 2022, 04:58:45 AM
Afaik they can? But they've had multiple methods of countering this such as having multiple decks for each session, which basically ruins the chances of card counting actually having any effect throughout the entire game. If we're aware of it, then casinos are most likely also aware of it and with that being said, I don't think it even matters if you tried it, casinos themselves probably know that it's a futile effort. But still, I would err on the side of caution in these cases, since as I've said, casinos know it's futile, so in some form you should as well, so might as well not try it.
1845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch gambling problem and Sliker issue on: September 24, 2022, 11:31:36 PM
Most likely this change in the TOS and policy was caused by the backlash twitch got from the public after the twitch employees/staff were caught receiving "bribes" from gambling streamers. That could've snowballed out of control for the company and it would've been a really nasty situation for them so they acted quickly and made the appropiate changes. Props to them for that
Interesting, I don't think I've ever heard of it (not that I've heard much of twitch in the first place tbf). It's also odd since, well, why were the streamers hit instead of the staff? That's kind of more of an internal issue after all imo.
The platform could add a warning message on gambling lives and channels without completely banning it. There is no reason to ban gambling content just because there are kids accessing the website, otherwise youtube and every social medias would have to remove this content as well. Moreover, to educate people regards the dangers of gambling you can't completely remove gambling content from the internet. They must understand gambling exists, it's part of daily life, many people around them can be gamblers and their only option is to deal with this situation in a way they don't prejudice themselves.
Honestly, one idea I've always had for people to know that it's a gambling stream (and be irritating as well) is just to put it in a big red banner in the front saying "GAMBLING STREAM, WARNING!" kind of like those kinds of obnoxious adds. Directly warns people and also irritates usual gamblers to the point of leaving. Damages the streamer yes, but I think that's the cost for streaming gambling in the first place.
1846  Economy / Gambling / Re: How is your casino profile looks like? on: September 24, 2022, 01:05:15 PM
Favorite Casino: None really, I play wherever I think is good from time to time.
Wagered amount: I'd say secret but I actually have no idea since I've played on multiple sites.
Profit: Never been rich because of gambling so I'll just say 0.
Most played games: Crash, Black Jack, Poker & Sports

I'd go anon on my wins and losses, I don't even remember most of them tbf. I've mostly stopped trying to save them even after like a few months of playing, It's better for my mental health since I don't have to compare it with my every session.
1847  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is anyone buying right now because they think we are at or close to the bottom? on: September 24, 2022, 04:12:24 AM
I regularly buy in so that my wallet increases, but with the dips recently I have been buying in more sometimes. It's pretty irregular though, but it's not to the point where I'd call it buying it all in. I'd highly avoid doing that even if you consider at one point that it's the bottom, proper risk management should always be done imo.

On the topic of dip, if it goes down below $18 again I might just buy more. Every dip right now seems like an opportunity after all.
1848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bahrain allows regulated crypto payment gateway. on: September 23, 2022, 11:45:26 PM
Highly doubt it would put an end to the winter, or add any more for that matter. I'd compare it to how more exchanges opening up doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. It is a nice way to spread adoption, though it's going to take a long time before it could matter. I also think crypto winning over fiat is not going to happen, both living together without doing anything to each other is what would be for the best imo. Highly doubt the Government would let fiat die (nor could they kill crypto tbf).
1849  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fundamental or Technical Analyst. Which one are you? on: September 23, 2022, 10:10:31 AM
Fundamental. I do try technical analysis but it's more like on a basis or something similar, I never set it as something that's going to happen as guaranteed but I also never put it past me to acknowledge the chances of it happening together with a bit of understanding about the results of fundamental analysis. That was in the past though, nowadays I just hodl and DCA, trying to read the market is stressful and most of the time of me trying to understand just makes me misunderstand it more.
1850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chinese version of Metaverse will be great for meta casinos. on: September 23, 2022, 04:22:43 AM
Idk, I think AR would be better in terms of casino experience, and would probably be a lot quicker in terms of improvement. AR would add the experience of that 2d/3d feel to the real world which imo is a lot easier compared to adding that realistic 3d feel of the world towards 2d/3d. It's the difference between implementing a system in a developed world and developing a new world. Plus, it makes you go out.

I'm honestly more interested now in AR development with what they showed.

The question is, can decentralized (or close to it) services grow in China?
Not possible. I mean it's China, I don't think we have anything more to discuss there. 
1851  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will digital dollar be a threat to bitcoin? on: September 23, 2022, 12:31:01 AM
Just because Bitcoin was brought along within the discussion of the topic doesn't mean that it's going to be a threat to it. They're still both mediums that people can use, sure if Bitcoin was under the government then yes it might've been but it isn't, it's decentralized, so it can't kill or be killed imo. What digital dollar threatens is fiat though it's might be more apt to call it an upgrade/migration to a better system. Just imagine it as the world having their own currency (compared to a currency set by someone else for the world).
1852  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading = Analysis - (Instinct + Emotions) on: September 22, 2022, 10:33:48 AM
Technical analysis this days seems even more frustrating as candle sticks keeps pushing trades against traders. Because emotions and instincts are been mistaken for analysis. Trading the obvious is rather the aim and not trading the expected or assumed.
Well, I guess that's a plus in some sort of form since it makes those who are correct in actually reading the market profit more. I wouldn't pull down instinct sometimes since a good call can sometimes just come from a gut feeling, especially if it was backed by the current news and whatnot. Heck just determining the general trend imo is more than good enough, and any specifics after that are just a bonus to taking in more profits.

I'd also just put emotions under control, they exist as a form of warning sometimes but if you know how to control them and if you believe in what you've studied/analyzed then in the first place I don't think your emotions would take control of you.
1853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much money do you leave in crypto casino? on: September 22, 2022, 06:30:21 AM
I spend most of what I deposit (since I deposit on a regular basis most of the time) since I'm fully committed to spending all of it for my enjoyment, but whenever I say win big, I tend to leave and basically just sum it up to equate to my regular deposits monthly. It's pretty random I think but pretty small most of the time (less than a $100). So I guess I've never really withdrawn directly, but indirectly it did reduce the amount I deposit to play with, hence "indirectly". If I do stop to play I just leave the money there (not that it's much in the first place) and do not really withdraw it till the day I want to play again.
1854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gacha Game on: September 22, 2022, 12:27:43 AM
Gacha games basically swapped out the concept of receiving money for spending money, instead replacing it with cosmetics, art, whatever you call it. Then they add their own odds to it which is basically really really bad if you see it from a gambling perspective, but is rather normal from a gaming perspective.

It's addicting yes, but it can also be controlled since they, well, give out free stuff. I wouldn't consider playing the game itself addicting/gambling, the game itself gives you chances or opportunities to grind up and earn currencies you can use to get stuff but spending money to get a specific item (Which in most cases, happens to EVERYTHING that they release) can basically end up a curse of you spending all the time. It can be considered addiction to some extent if you can't control your finances, but well it's much lighter than gambling imo.
1855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gambling Companies and Bitcoin on: September 21, 2022, 11:56:34 AM
I don't think the country itself has any rule/regulation about using Crypto as a payment method? Pretty sure that people wouldn't accept it only if it was stated, otherwise it's okay for people/businesses to use it. I guess the difference between the two is that being accepted as a legal tender is that it's under the law so everything about it's transactions is under the law, while if not accepted (but not banned) is pretty much an "it's your responsibility" kind of thing.
1856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino and prisons on: September 21, 2022, 03:50:12 AM
Pretty old article, guessing it happened because a lot of rules were still rather lax back then and they saw reason as to profit from prison (since I reckon casinos aren't as widespread and as visited compared to now). I reckon no cheating happened because well, they're in a prison, an enclosed space, no point in cheating not to mention that they're betting on money and not on their release time (imagine if that was possible lmao). Plus, I think prisons allow simple usage of say cards, dice, etc., so people can still play them imo. I don't think strict implementation is needed if all the prisoners need are simple items like dice, cards, etc.
1857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch gambling problem and Sliker issue on: September 20, 2022, 11:57:20 PM
So I just found out that twitch has updated their gambling-related policies today, which seems like an answer to the Sliker issue since it seems like it blew up.
https://twitter.com/twitch/status/1572347129192132611?s=46&t=iEgymbuwfEHY6LTs9dTS6g


Seems like instead of removing it all, they've limited it to a few ones that are the most famous ones. I'm all in for letting sports betting alone since that's kind of a sports-related watch along sometimes, but I doubt poker being left alone was good.
1858  Economy / Economics / Re: Are Spare Change Investment Apps A Good Option on: September 20, 2022, 10:34:46 AM
I think it sounds interesting, especially if you consider how most of the target market of the app is the youth so a lot of the necessary stuff that you'd need to understand is basically automated by the app for the most part. Sure, it may not be the best type of investment to do in terms of profitability, but it would probably be a better option for someone without the knowhow compared to someone who does, plus it doesn't necessarily mean that they'd permanently stay on acorn for investing, it can be an introduction for people instead (which is likely the case most of the time).
1859  Economy / Gambling / Re: Will duelbits pay 20k bet? on: September 20, 2022, 04:34:27 AM
100-1000$ bets they have been paying me until now. But what if put on sport event  bet and make like 12k in a day.  I wonder if they would pay me.
They would unless they've stated otherwise, as long as the casino/bookie you're playing at is a legitimate one. Be prepared for KYC though since high wins like this would most likely put you on their list of accounts to watch, and once you want to withdraw them then they'll likely hit you with that. Casinos aren't exactly poor plebs that they'd risk the reputation they built from years of operation for what, $40,$50k. Or, as I said earlier, if they've clearly set the limit then they've clearly set it up so that the max you'd get would be that amount no matter what you do, which is on their side of things so I see no need to worry about that too much.
1860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch gambling problem and Sliker issue on: September 19, 2022, 11:47:12 PM
Well one, I don't think asking for money and failing to repay them is a problem for twitch, it's actually just a problem for the streamer itself and afaik, twitch accepts gambling streams in of itself, which I would assume has some sort of moderation towards showing it to accounts that have kids age (which ofc, can easily be bypassed but that's another thing). Two, this issue better be blown to proportions before we see twitch actually taking action. Proportions to the level where they would investigate the streamer legally at that point.

Seeing lots of people I know have their lives go downhill after being involved with drugs. Was the best motivation for me staying away from drugs. I don't understand how some try not to learn from the life mistakes of others.
Curiosity I guess? Never really had it though but it's probably the only thing children would have when it comes to something their parents keep them away from without actually explaining it in terms that they could udnerstand.
