There are tons of tokens out there that tried to solve a real world problem but they are up to no good. Usually, people are not into tokens that have real world applications but “innovations” that will never materialize. That’s how most coin devs get their market and community. Right now, it’s about who got the best word game in the market to get the most customers, not about what they can do with the actual token.

You do not need to learn how to gamble, you just need to learn how to take the risks and accept them as they are. In this volatile investment, it's extremely hard to gauge the market's movement because one day, you're seeing greens and the next, you're seeing reds. The only thing that's important is you do not sell at a loss and that's it. No need to play in the markets, get directly involved, or even learn gambling - you just have to hold.

That's a positive first impression. During my early days here, I only see bitcoin as a meme and nothing more. That curiosity grew when I found out about the 10,000 bitcoin pizza which, at that time was worth $200,000 (2014). I claimed faucets, joined campaigns, and basically did anything to get my feet wet without spending any money on it. Glad I stayed through the ups and the downs, and I'm reaping the rewards because of my subtle curiosity that grew and grew everyday.

No one really knows what will happen to bitcoin's future back then,. All I know is that it can be converted into fiat and it's possible to keep the value of whatever I have with the help of bitcoin.

Emotion is the main driving force on a lot of failed trades. I kinda understand why people trade out of their feelings. If you aren't completely versed in what you're doing, there will be times wherein you will be shaken by your decisions and you will not be sure what the next steps to take are. This feeling of uncertainty is what will drive you to make trading decisions that are bad or are really uninformed. One way to combat this is to do a lot of practice trades with play money, and then learn whatever there is to learn in trading before doing the actual thing. One bad loss can really discourage anyone from trading, but what's a loss if you can convert it to a profit in the long run anyway?

GG is really dominant in this patch and there's no doubt about that. Seleri is really great in counter picks and makes sure that they utilize their offlane really well in the early to mid game. They never pick an offlane that is solely for shoving lanes at early game. They also make sure that it can possibly join a team fight early on. What also impresses me about this team is how flexible Quinn can be. This guy used to be a farm-only core role but now he makes sure that their dyrachyo gets something in the map if his farm is lagging behind. Definitely a strong contender in TI if they continue playing the way they do right now.

That's one of the beauty of gambling: uncertainty. Pretty sure some of us here are gambling for the thrill and the uncertainty element in gambling. Plus, the chance that you can win big from something that provides you entertainment? Who wouldn't want to do that? And if you're already enjoying the sport, why not put something on the line and possibly win even more at the conclusion of the event?

Using bitcoin to gamble is not really a good thing. I personally convert my funds to XRP or any other coins with low transaction fees and fast confirm times, in anticipation of me winning something and taking it out of the platform and transferring it to the exchange. I don't think of the value of bitcoin or any other crypto going up when I gamble, because I consider those funds as lost already the moment I deposited it in the exchange.

I'd take that Donaire's bet just to be on the safe side. While the dude may be older (as I have stated on my previous posts), he still has a lot of techniques and skill developed over the years of boxing professionally. Santiago's relatively young, and though he may have more stamina and can tank more punches, I doubt he can defeat Donaire in terms of speed and footwork. 1.5x - 1.7x odds aren't too bad for a favorite, especially if that favorite is one of the legends in the ring. That defeat to Inoue might have set him back in the eyes of bookmakers, but he is undoubtedly one of the most vicious fighters in the bantamweight division currently.

Most developers of pre-mined coins usually just stop trying after their product has hit the markets. Unlike ETH and XRP whose developers and creators are active in the community, these devs of other pre-mined coins will simply move on to another project using another name hoping to make a quick buck again. That's the pattern that I recognized on most coins that are left in the dust after being hyped before they hit the exchanges. Sometimes, the community is to blame, too. They view this coin as something that is the next big thing while in reality, it isn't, and they're only shilling for their own gain and, just like the developers, when they already profited, they'll just move on to the next 'big thing'.

Agribusiness will always boom, especially if you're a large-scale farmer. Huge companies will want you to supply for them, and you basically can just expand with the contracts that you'll get from these huge companies. If you're a small-scale farmer, you can still create your own products out of the produce that you deem to be not fit in hitting the markets. You can get the scraps off of these harvests and create other products that you can sell for a profit.

There's just a lot of potential to branch out if you have an agribusiness, though it's not always a 'green' investment as acts of nature such as storms or severe flooding can render your crops useless. It's a grind that requires a lot of work, but is worth it in the long run.

Just goes to show how good some of these drivers are even against a car that is basically unbeatable for the longest of time. McLaren's upgrade and strategies seem to work well. Piastri, a driver that you don't regularly see in the top 5, managed to finish in top 4. And Norris overtaking Verstappen at the start is a sight to behold, and a lot of people surely cheered when that happened but we all know that Red Bull will catch up and get that first place especially with Max on the driver's seat.


Ferrari has been in a lot of troubles for a long time now. The drivers aren't to blame here; it must be their car or their strategist calling in some poor shots from the sidelines. I feel bad for Sainz and Leclerc. It's as if they're really trying to be in the top spot to which Ferrari is always known to be at, but their car and the people around them doesn't seem to help them get what they deserve at all.

This is one of the first mistakes, actually. Investing directly on things people do not completely understand. I would first seek the help of a financial advisor if I were you, then take the time to study some of the investments that are readily available to me before I make the decision. I do understand that a lot of us here will readily invest in cryptocurrency at any given time if we have the money. But with huge amounts? It's better to take our time before we click the button and spend something on potential bags that we will hold for a long time.


Exactly. Most people, when they have access to money, they'd buy things that 'they think' they need, when in fact it's the opposite. The consumerism mindset has been etched deep into our minds that we think everything that we see, we need. Good on you for recognizing that there is a possibility that our funds will eventually go to zero if we spend incessantly and carelessly. Not a lot of people, especially those who are new to having lots of money, know this and recognize it early on.

It could be like that, although in this time and age, the number of coins in circulation doesn't affect the price action that much. There are a lot of factors that add up to the overall valuation of bitcoin, and available supply is one of them. Say for instance, the lost coins were to be found, would those owners want to let it go at the current price? Would they bring those coins into the market ready for sale? If not, then nothing changed, basically. They are still artificially limiting the available supply of bitcoin in the market by keeping those at their disposal.

Other people only view someone as an addict if they are constantly doing something and they are not getting very good results. If you are doing it and you are making a living out of it, you become a professional at that particular activity - even if it's gambling or whatever it is. That's where society draws the line on being good or bad, and it isn't applicable exclusively to gambling; it can only apply to other activities out there wherein addiction can also develop.

This has been talked about countless of times here in the forum. As I always say, bitcoin can be used as a means to safekeep the value of assets while the world around us is melting. It retains value pretty well compared to other asset classes out there that are susceptible to crises such as this one. Though one thing to keep in mind is that there is no guarantee in bitcoin or any other crypto for that matter. While in the past, it is relatively safe to leave your money in bitcoin and expect that it will still have the same valuation, or sometimes even greater, we can't tell for certain if that will be the case in the next coming years.

The incentive is too small. Traditional banks are already offering more than that so I'd rather stick to those than hold a coin of a platform that is almost always in hot water It's a great way to advertise their debit card to the masses, and actual way of spending your altcoin in buying real world items however, I don't think people are buying crypto for the purpose of spending anymore but rather safekeeping and investing. Perhaps if they could up the cashback percentage to the smaller holders, it might push them to use the debit card.

But still, TI is 2 or 3 months away. They can still find someone who can fill the role and do some scrims or random games with that guy to get something going for the team. If anyone is to be blamed, it is Pure for doing all the bs and disrespect in official Valve tournaments. BetBoom wouldn't be in a position they are in right now if only Pure didn't do his antics, first at the start of the Ukraine invasion, and second the stream sniping during an official game.

The lack of weekend activities attracted me to gambling. As someone whose daily life revolve around my work and keeping my place clean, I find it boring to not do anything after work, especially on weekends. Being a poster in this forum for years, I tried playing in casinos that regularly have their signature campaigns over. Primedice is the first one to win me over, and that's where everything started. I started playing every weekend, with $10 or $20. Branched out into sports betting and the rest is history. Right now I don't regularly play in casinos, but I still place bets on sports, especially esports and motosports.

Valve isn't really letting anyone off the hook for the most part, but they don't punish the team for an individual's doing either. I think it's enough to ban Pure for a long time and let BetBoom look for his replacement. Heck, they still have 3 more months to do that, and I think they can do that. As for Pure, well he's got problems in his attitude even though he's definitely a good offlane player. Such a waste of talent being eaten by ego or whatever the hell is going on with his mind.

With the money I have? I'd rather bet it on bitcoin and other crypto assets. If I have more extra in my name, I'd definitely invest in luxury watches. Heck, the market is ludicrous and there are still a lot of rich guys wanting a timepiece from the past that is no longer under production. That's why vintage watches from even Seiko and Casio are still worth much, sometimes even higher than new releases from Patek Philippe, Rolex, etc.

Diversification is the key. There's no harm in buying watches for safekeeping and investment purposes.
