1861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Confident Are You In The Reliability of the KYC system on: June 10, 2023, 05:14:36 PM
Take note, Casinos will ask or demand a KYC if there's a big winning involved, is this one of their ways to scam their players?
Ignorance makes gamblers to fall into KYC problem. They can win big, they should expect KYC to be mandatory before they can withdraw. If you check even no KYC exchanges, you will noticed that all of them have certain limit that they will not require KYC, but if the withdrawal limit is exceeded, KYC is required. I think this is always well stated in the terms of service of the gambling sites which are trustworthy.

KYC verification can fail due to some reasons, like fake documents being submitted or poor lightening for video verification (for casinos that go that far), but the actions of these casino's should be to try to ensure that the user sorts the challenge and pass the verification process.
If the gambling site is a trustworthy site and people do not have much complain about KYC document rejection, the reason I think verification can fail is because of what you have said already, especially if the document is not clear enough to proof the identity of the person. It is not only low light that can result to that because some documents are not quality enough and the ID document becomes no more clear like before and becoming fade.
1862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 10, 2023, 05:01:54 PM
There is a reason a gambler is addicted, that is what that you should tackle. Most addicts are seeing gambling as a way to get weekly or monthly income, while some can be addicted because they have nothing special that they are doing and getting themselves idle. You should let an addict know that gambling is not a way to get weekly or monthly income unless he is fooling himself. If it is because of idleness, he should get things he will be doing. There are real life examples that you can let him see, people that gambling make their lives turn into something they do not want. Gambling is good in moderation, but addiction is very bad and can turn someone's life into something not good at all.
1863  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Gambling is different from trading on: June 10, 2023, 01:03:42 PM
I am a gamblers and I am a trader. This is my experience:

Trading can take all your money, just like gambling. Trading can take more of your time like or more than gambling. As gambling is addictive, trading is also addictive.

You just have to discipline yourself in both and use the amount of money that you can afford to lose to gamble or trade.

While trading is a skill that you will learn and understand the basic factors that can hinder your trading not to be successful, a trader can notice it's mistakes after loss and make corrections while a gambler mistakes can't be corrected because it deals with prediction.
A gambler can correct his mistake after losses, but gambling is luck and using just little amount of money that you can afford to lose. Some people will trade and continue to lose too, just like in gambling, it may even be more.

Both are risky, both require different approach too.

When we study trading very well there is no way we can trade in a month without making profit
But there are many traders that are gamblers, I mean they think that they are trading, but they know nothing. Also there are many with ignorance. Many of them calling themselves traders are losing too.

and as a beginner in trading we don't need to start trading with money that we can not afford to loss
Also use the money that you can afford to lose to gamble.

while in gambling so many people gamble with their salary and last money.
Also in trading

So I prefer trading more than gambling because it is a skill and it can be controlled.
I too prefer trading than gambling because the possibility of making money is more in trading than gambling. Trading also require skills like you said before and if planned well, profit can become reality, but people should know that trading can be as dangerous as or more dangerous than gambling.
1864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto another form of gambling? on: June 09, 2023, 03:52:14 PM
1. Play games of chance for money; bet.
2. Take risky action in the hope of a desired result.

The second one seems to fit crypto best, so it's clear they know what they are saying.

Now, do you agree that crypto should be seen as a form of gambling? And if this eventually comes through, what should we expect as the constraints it might still bring to the crypto space?
Bitcoin is not gambling, only what it requires is speculation, but some people do not learn about bitcoin price history and speculation but they just want to invest, more especially during bull run when they fomo.

Most altcoins are gambling.

If you need proof that bitcoin is not gambling, I can give you detailed analysis about it as it seems more to be a store of value over long term period.
1865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: June 09, 2023, 01:41:54 PM
If you are a good gambler, you need to discipline yourself. Discipline is very important for you not to lose more than you are expecting. This has happened to me in gambling before, but it is just an addiction which you have known and need to stop doing.

In life, do away with greed, learn how to control your emotion and completely discipline yourself.
1866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is There A Time That You Calculated All Your loses In One Year on: June 09, 2023, 12:24:58 PM
Gambling is for fun for people that just make it fun and entertaining. But if you think you want to make money from gambling, that is when it would become something very difficult and it can lead to money loss. All I can say is that people should take gambling as something fun and nothing more. Just use small amount of money for it, an amount of money that you can afford to lose.
1867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how to get over it on: June 09, 2023, 09:13:42 AM
How do I get over the countless failures? I’ve been chasing the $1,000,000 dream for years.
I was just like you when I was addicted, but I was using lower amount of money if compared with the amount that you are using. Not that low, high for me. I did always went all in and I may see 20x in return, but at one point, I will fail and be broke again in depression.

Take gambling as fun and use little amount of money to win little instead which is better.
1868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CBDC competing with bitcoin on: June 08, 2023, 07:43:24 PM
The new innovation by the government is a way to imitate bitcoin but still not up to the standards of bitcoin which is a decentralised currency. CBDC is nothing different from an online banking, I'm sure the reason for central bank digital currencies is to stop to stop people from adopting bitcoin.
It is not even only about how decentralized bitcoin is, bitcoin is also an investment, but fiat is an asset that will make your money value to continue to decrease. What a certain amount of fiat can buy this year, it can no more buy it in the next five years. Saving fiat is like government is scamming you.
1869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Apple Vision Pro and its Implication in Online Gambling on: June 08, 2023, 04:04:54 PM
Is this better on Oculus VR?
Did you mean better than? I will say so, but also very expensive. Apple Vision Pro cost $3500 which is more than expensive. But it is the best that I have seen. According to the review I have watched before it is eyes sensitive. If you look at apps on the vision pro, the app will detect that as it increases in size, and if you want to click on the app, only what you need to do is to touch your thumb with your fore finger and it will click. Apps and everything is controlled by your eyes and your fingers. It would be of nice experience, but the battery is not strong and it is too expensive. Some VR devices are requires you to connect to PC or console though, while Oculus VR like Quest or Meta Quest 2 last 2 to 3 hours after fully charged.
1870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Apple Vision Pro and its Implication in Online Gambling on: June 08, 2023, 03:47:36 PM
According to two YouTube videos that I watched after the Apple Vision Pro was released, they said people should take note that it can only last two hours after it is fully charged. Some people may want to track their gambling activities like in sport betting, this can not much be of any help. But it would be of good experience for casino users.

With what I learn about it too, only apple apps are still there for now. With time developers will have app there too. Likely it is using a different OS that is not iOS and macOS. But for gambling sites to have apps for it, it will take time. But if there is web browser, it can be used to access gambling site on it easily.

Another thing is that wearing this for long may not be that comfortable at all.

Also isolating yourself to do things on this thing may be kind of weird for people around you.
1871  Economy / Exchanges / Re: SEC sues Coinbase for listing securities on: June 08, 2023, 11:29:34 AM
Based on the list of tokens/coins they included, I honestly doubt that. But if you ask Gary Gensler, I am sure that he would tell you that every cryptocurrency is security unless proven otherwise. Cheesy
According to what I have read before, he admitted that bitcoin is not a security but a commodity. Ether and others is what he is calling securities. I think he is right about is stance because cryptocurrencies are securities but bitcoin among them is very different and remain to be a commodity.
1872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: June 08, 2023, 11:12:05 AM
But the truth is, few people can discipline themselves and gamble until the money runs out.
That is why it is also good to have a gambling budget. It should not be that a gambler should just be gambling without having a gambling budget. I have just 5% of my weekly income on gambling budget and I do not gamble too much but only just weekends. If I have more time and I gamble more and the weekly gambling budget is exhausted, then I will know to just quit gambling until that week is over. If a gambler discipline himself very well and not following emotion, it would be a good thing for him.
1873  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 3068 Trades Won and only 1 Trade Lost on: June 07, 2023, 09:51:08 PM
The first thing you should know is that it is using a low leverage.

No one can know his strategy unless you know him and ask him about it.

But you can always have your own strategies and move towards the one that favour you the most.

Risk management, using low leverage, learn more about indicators, controlling your emotion and to be discipline are part of trading strategy, but there is more to it.
1874  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Cz or the Sec who would you support? on: June 07, 2023, 07:49:39 PM
I support Cz with reasons that binance has done alot to earn it's communities trust,helping millions of users in the crypto ecosystem,and has more durable marketing strategy whereas the Sec is government driven and wants to control everybody.
The government wants to control everybody, but the government are using the exchanges to do the control, unlike using noncustodial wallet which gives you the control.

It's unfair that the sec is suppressing a private cooperation that's helping to grow & build the crypto world, binance is helping everybody including crypto whales and newbies and a fight against binance is against the world.
What's your say on this?
Are those altcoins not securities? They are securities. United States SEC have rules for securities. Binance should also follow the regulatory rules for not to fall into problem with regulators.
1875  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is more secure, WBTC or BBTC (Binance Wappled bitcoin)? on: June 07, 2023, 07:40:46 PM
BBTC means Binance Wrapped BTC.

From the name, you will know that it was created by Binance. But no other BTC is safe except bitcoin. WBTC and BBTC are not even bitcoin (BTC) because they are altcoins. Trust only bitcoin (BTC).
1876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 07, 2023, 04:15:29 PM
Do not use the money you need for other things on gambling. Do not disappoint your parent by using the money they gave you to pay for school for gambling. Just use the amount that you can afford to lose to gamble and you will not feel remorseful if you lose. But if you lose a big amount of money, or the money meant for your parent or relative to gamble and you can not lay back, that can make you feel more than remorseful because you will be depressed and be looking for ways to get the money back.
1877  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Order Book price pick for Limit Futures Long/Short orders on: June 07, 2023, 01:09:10 PM
Thanks for the explanation.
So this basically means that If I want to go Short and place an order below 25 000 then it would be immaterially filled at the lowest market. Which is basically the same as Market.
Got it. Thanks !
Try and read it again because I made some corrections. Also let me be more practical about it:

Bitcoin at $25000

For long/buy
You open a limit order at $25010 (above $25000). The order will be filled immediately
You open a limit order at $24990 (below $25000). The order will not be filled. If the market price of bitcoin gets to or drop below below $24990, your order will be filled.

For short/sell
You open a limit order at $24990. Bitcoin at market price of $25000. The order will be filled immediately
You open a limit order at $25010. Bitcoin price at $25000. The order will not be filled. If bitcoin increase above $25010, your order will be filled.

I hope you will understand it better this way.

It is even harder to explain than using it while trading, once you start to trade you will notice how simple it is.

I will advice you to be careful of trading derivatives, because leveraging is very risky. Trading itself is very risky, not to talk of future trading which is far riskier.
1878  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Order Book price pick for Limit Futures Long/Short orders on: June 07, 2023, 12:57:25 PM
Let me use bitcoin at market price of $25000 as an example.


If you go long or buy

If you set the limit order price above $25000, it would be filled immediately. It simply means you buy at higher price which will make your order to be filled at the market price. Which means it is a market order but you only just used limit order for it.

On the other hand, if you place the limit order price at below $25000. That is a limit order and your are a market maker. If the market price of bitcoin drops below $25000 (below the price your set), your order would be filled. But if the bitcoin market price did not drop to or below the price you set, your order will not be filled.


If you go short or sell

If you set the limit order price below $25000, it would be filled immediately. It simply means you sell at lower price which will make your order to be filled at the market price. Which means it is a market order but you only just used limit order for it.

On the other hand, if you place the limit order price at above $25000, the order will not be filled immediately. That is a limit order. If the market price of bitcoin increase to or above the price you set, your order would be filled. But if the bitcoin market price did not increase above the price that you set, your order will not be filled.

For this not to confuse you, you can trade with $1 on most exchanges with higher leverage. Just for testing, do not use leverage because it is dangerous than given profit.
1879  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is ready for $40k on: June 07, 2023, 09:03:39 AM
Well let us see if we can make it to $30k before we are talking about $40k price for Bitcoin. I am 'bullish' right now even with the FUD that we are hearing about in the news recent.

The 2 biggest crypto exchanges in the world are being sued by the sec. But price of Bitcoin is still close to $27k. So this means investors are still buying. I think we will see $30k sooner then most people think and hope $40k by end of the year. 
Even if bitcoin make it up to $30000, that does not mean that it would not be another resistant price, bitcoin has not been going beyond $30000. Its last highest price I remember is $31000. I was thinking bitcoin will make it up to $34000 - $37000 before any big drop again, but it started to drop at $31000 and not going beyond that price. It is very possible that $30000 may be the big resistant price until halving, no nobody yet knows.
1880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: June 06, 2023, 08:56:26 PM
Noncustodial wallet means their is no other person that controls the wallet but you. Where am I going to withdraw from if government ban crypto trading when I have the complete control over my noncustodial wallet? It is not an exchange and it is not a custodial wallet.

Because government wants to ban crypto trading, I do not think gambling will come my mind at all than I am gambling before, to just use little amount of money to gamble.

My bitcoin will stay on my noncustodial wallet and I am going to move fully to a decentralized exchange like bisq

Anyone that have such decision is a fool because government banning crypto is entirely different from how gambling is legal. It has no connection that will make the person to think of sending all his coins to a gambling site, which is a big mistake.
