2001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: July 19, 2022, 11:14:29 PM
If a gambler do end up on a place where he cant possibly seen any gambling places for him to hang on then he would really be having that changed of impressions but if his addiction is on that severe state then he might really be still ending up on playing with online casinos

Gamblers will find a way to gamble. There is a lot of convenient and easy way nowadays to do gambling. For that person that is being sent to an environment where no gambling stuff will be seen, it should also be accompanied by other prevention methods such as doing what rehabilitation centers do to help that gambler forget about gambling. They should refer at experts at that field to give them preferences on what to do with this type of people.
And even then finding an environment in which it is impossible to gamble is incredibly difficult to do, we need to remember that now online gambling is incredibly popular and in fact I will not be surprised if online gambling is now more popular than regular gambling which was done at physical casinos, so unless a person decides to disconnect completely from digital devices like a computer and a smartphone then it is almost impossible to find such an environment, and even if you could find such an environment it is impossible to remain in that environment forever.
There's nothing impossible as long you do have money or funds into your pocket because if ever you wont really see some places or platforms then you could always op in on buying those essential things just for you to make yourself get connected.It all matters on someones dedication whether they are really that willing to quit or avoid gambling for good or would really be definitely still playing on what ever ways you could able to do
so as long you do have money then you could always have the choice whenever you do move into a place where these things can be find out. On the question if the place or environment could really affect
someones gambling addiction then its yes but of course it would be needing that strong self control and discipline on handling things.
2002  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is the possibility Bitcoin will rise before the end of the year ? on: July 19, 2022, 09:55:59 PM
There should be always some pumps after a series of dumps. But what price do you expect? If you want to take profits from your short-term holding, it is always possible. You can do it as long as you know a good time to buy (entry), then you sell (exit) once there is a pump. You need sufficient knowledge and experience to analyze when the right time for buying and selling. It doesn't depend on the early, middle, or end of the year but you can do it anytime. Sure, Bitcoin will always fluctuate, there should be a decrease and increase in Bitcoin price all year round.


A market couldnt really be just having that dumping or decreasing situation like forever.It might took for how many years or bearish market but we cant really just stay forever
something like this which means that recovery would be always next but the question is on when then this is the question where everyone couldnt able to answer.
Whether this year or on next we might see those price increase or bullish run or the best will be hitting up new all time highs which we know that this crypto market does
have soo much potential when it comes to that but everything is not predictable thats why making decisions do need up some risk management.
2003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Fengshui on: July 19, 2022, 08:56:09 PM
As long  you dont hurt others or making yourself hurt or something in between two then i dont see anything wrong with it.People are just too judgemental on what others been doing.

I also don't understand why other people are taking things seriously if someone uses the art of Fengshui in gambling.

After all, these people that use lucky stuff take care of their bankroll. Why other people should bother with that?

Correct. Let's just mind our own business and let these people just do what they want.
You know that people are really that different where there are some who do really love to engage nor really loves to criticize on someone who are opposing into things that they are believing into,
thats why they would say negative things instead of ignoring them yet as mentioned that they have done nothing wrong plus its their money that had been spent so its not on our business
to say on how they would really be handling theirselves when they do gambling Fengshui or gestures might really be that common on some players but there's no proof that these
things could really make out some effect or alteration on someones luck.
2004  Economy / Economics / Re: Unemplyment at least 50% how world will look like then ? on: July 18, 2022, 11:59:28 PM
t entirely true to be honest. Even though the mentality of the people is a big factor why most of the people remain unemployed. Lack of good paying opportunities is an equal problem. If a good 17 year education followed by an institutionalised degree cannot land you a good paying job then obviously the whole education system should be changed. It's wrong to affix the responsibility of being unemployed on the person himself. Some people think organized education is enough and ideally it should be if you are paying this much for it.
I am not sure if they are adding freelancers in the count or not?
Many youngsters are not applying for jobs but they do their own work from the comfort of their home. Are they unemployed too?

For sure it isnt really counted on the statistics but rather they are just focusing on the amount of people who doesnt have a work specially on day jobs which they have known.
So numbers wont really be that accurate but in overall where unemployment is really that high on some countries in the world but its true that there are some who doesnt really love
to have day jobs but rather instead on going freelancing and other online investment which they could really able to make themselves sustainable despite on working from their home.
Actually this had been a common big problem from the past or even up to now.
2005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: July 18, 2022, 11:22:43 PM

I do not agree with you because the main share of gambling advertising is on the Internet, and nowadays more and more people play gambling online. I learned about gambling as a child. At that time even if there was internet (dial-up) not everyone could afford the service, not to mention the lack of gambling sites. Today many bloggers with a huge number of subscribers advertise gambling, so a large percentage of today's generation learns about gambling through the Internet.
Change of environment surly can have an impact on the gamblers - but the main thing is one should have serious desire to get rid of addiction
If one is not adamant to do what he thinks - then no-one can bring in any change.
This discussion it's not meant to be argue much because everybody have notice that changing of environment can change the mentality of a gambler can also change the seriousness of gambling so if a gambler is in the state or environment which everybody into the environment is not interested in gambling the person way of thinking in the gambling will change. So that is the nature of habitat and evolution
If a gambler do end up on a place where he cant possibly seen any gambling places for him to hang on then he would really be having that changed of impressions but if his addiction is on that severe
state then he might really be still ending up on playing with online casinos which are available since we do know that it is really just easy on accessing platforms with just few clicks or taps.
If you are really still have access or does have mobile phone or pc then high chances that you would really be considering out this kind of option even though its a bit off into your interest
but since it do still talks about gambling then it would be on your consideration on doing it again.
2006  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 1-5 min scalping on binance is it worth it on: July 18, 2022, 10:26:48 PM
In place, it is difficult to get high market fluctuations in a short time. and must also have a high trading volume. we can only apply it on the spot. a possible situation I think is only on assets that have just been launched on the exchange. very likely to happen but in a very short time. And of course with a big enough risk.
In crypto getting very huge market fluctuations is so easy especially with the low cap coins. I have traded the 1-minute chart a number of times, and it has happened often. Sometimes, a price can spike or dump by over 5% in a 1-minute candle.

This makes it suitable for both futures and spot traders.

You could really have those kind of chances and probabilities on making yourself to be that profitable out of those fluctuations even not talking with low caps but rather into those top ranking coins in the market or even on that top 100 which you could actually able to play with the price.Its up into your analysis and skills on which your profitability could be seen and its really worth if you do able to make yourself sustain.
Not all would really be that good on doing this thats why they are sticking with higher timeframes on seeing those 1h or weekly candles rather than playing with 1-5 minute candles.
Its up to someones preference when it comes to this.
2007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Fengshui on: July 18, 2022, 08:59:26 PM
Chinese gambler will surely believe on this, and they have this tradition in almost everything not just in gambling.
There's nothing wrong if you have this ritual before you gamble, what is wrong here is if you depend on that belief and spend too much money. This is still gambling, and luck will still be the main reason why we are winning. We have this kind of tradition as well, and there's nothing to lose if you believe on this sometimes.

Believing in these kind of things won't get you hurt either because it's just a belief and we do have our distinctive body language that will make us comfortable. In the same thought, I think that some gamblers that are saying some rituals prior the activity is not a sign that they are relying on it but I see it as their way to make them more confident on the activity and as I said, will make them play more comfortable.
As long  you dont hurt others or making yourself hurt or something in between two then i dont see anything wrong with it.People are just too judgemental on what others been doing.
Just mind your own business and proceed into your own actions rather than on discriminating or teasing someones belief.If they dont hurt someone then it is really that still considerable.
Fengshui or  something in related wont really be having that effect on increasing  your chance but there were people who do really believe on these things and done something before they
do gamble and trying out to see if it does work or not but still continuing to make use of it even they are on the losing side.
2008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gets more attention on: July 16, 2022, 09:36:11 PM
Bitcoin is indeed a lot of attention because many see the good potential of bitcoin. I myself am also interested in bitcoin. because my see the good potential in bitcoin, because if you invest in bitcoin it can be achieved by all circle. so it's only natural that many countries are interested in bitcoin. because they see the good potential. in bitcoin
a lot of development is taking place in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the adoption of Bitcoin is slowly gaining attention right now with government restrictions and slow adoption with just a few countries adopting Bitcoin. A post office is adopting Bitcoin for business purposes and few will be demanding KYC. The need for KYC is what makes the use of those services not appealing to most Bitcoin lovers.
Seeing the leads in the Bitcoin adoption El Salvador has taken a lead among countries to have made Bitcoin a legal tender and also some other centralized services adopting the use of Bitcoin, I believe in the nearest future government are going to adopt Bitcoin following the already mainstream slow Bitcoin adoption.

We do like it or not on which Bitcoin do become even more popular or getting that attention when it is reaching all time high or making significant rise in its price and same goes opposite
when the price is plummeting where panic and fear could really be seen out on the market but recognition and adoption is something that cant really be stopped
and we've seen on how far we do able to reach out if we do compare the progress in 10 years back and into the present which we arent that blind not to see on how
far and how it did progress but expect that there are lots of fuds and shills around which you should prepare yourself with that.
2009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Its One Too Many on: July 16, 2022, 07:59:24 PM
I'm in agree with you. The most important thing for a casino is a reputation, but we've to say that a casino can solve its problems if has a good bankroll, if it is a casino with low bankroll you can have all of the good intention,

but if you can't pay, you can't pay. Maybe the mistake that many casino commit is to not cap bets instead to allow it with unlimited amount.


This is in fact a common problem, a casino has a limited amount of capital and as such they can go bankrupt like any other business in existence, most of the time they do set up a max bet size but the size they elected is too big for the capital they have in hand.

Now if they are lucky then they may still become successful as no whale ever wins a big bet and as their capital increases then the chances of losing it all also go down, but sometimes the casino gets unlucky and a whale wins a big bet and that is when they lose all their funds or they lose enough to make their casino not viable anymore.
On running a business then its just dumb that the team/owner itself wont really be putting any max bets basing on just into their overall capital then it would really be just suicide if they have none because as mentioned that if ever there are some players who do win the jackpot or multipliers then it would really be just the end of your business whether you would be end up on compensating the remaining wins or would simply
run and scam away totally which is really the reality into this market.In talks about one accusation or legit issue could cause demise or destruction on a certain casino would really be that possible
but it will really be depending on the severity which would really cause hesitance and trust issue into its current players on the platform specially if big amount is really involved.
2010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This clearly damage the gambling. on: July 15, 2022, 10:51:47 PM
Well i cant put more words, the video says it all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsB15QKz9No&ab_channel=EBDSports


I really think this damage the trust in the sports bets , or anything related to the sport gambling, i know a lot can say its a kind of protest but still really unclear.


Nothing new about fix matches and almost all of the gamblers knows about this so for sure many people are so picky on the league they are betting on. This is one of the reason why I stick on big leagues since from there we can see less things happening and never bet on small ones where this incident almost happen there. Also fix matches didn't give any bad effect on sports betting industry so you we don't need to worry anything about it.
Better not to stress yourself out because it was just really a normal thing to happen since there are really some organizers or big personalities which are involved on these arrangement but of course this
is really talking about big amounts or huge funds to be played on thats why they would normally target out small leagues because they do know that they could really possibly able to
execute those rigged gameplays and decisions and since only a few are just watching it then they wont really care most of the time but this isnt really rampant as we do talk because
even on small leauges then it is really just seldom for it to happen but literally this is the right place for them to do so.It cant be happening on huge tournaments and gameplays.
2011  Economy / Economics / Re: Cooperative investing between small investors on: July 15, 2022, 08:59:31 PM
I can only tell you what i know and what we have to do in point in time. Investment that you invest with companies do come with alot of complications and trouble from the company. If you want to enjoy investment of cryptocurrency put your hands together and invest personally, hoping for company investment in cryptocurrency, some times it will end up with scam and you lose your cryptocurrency investment, before you can see a cryptocurrency investment now that is legit is very deadly and i don't the fuck companies
The only ones you could really trust up is only yourself when it comes to investment.Dont really make yourself easily get hooked nor get convinced by any recommendations or some sort because it would really just might
be ending up on getting fucked or losses and make out some regrets just because someone had suggested it and you arent totally sure on the action you had made.
Cooperative kind of investment or entrusting up funds on a single person or company just to make some investment or proposals then i wont really be touching up something like this.
Just on what been said above that the main issue of these things is trust where everybody cant just easily trust people.
2012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Threshold of Loss in Gambling on: July 14, 2022, 10:54:10 PM
I don't really like calculations using tables to accumulate finances in terms of gambling. Because usually it is often done by people who are too economist in terms of spending. The struggle is still entertainment, and in this case, taking into account every time we lose I believe the defeat is much bigger than what we get.
Individual are different, we are not the same, some people can have a book to calculate their monthly income, how they will spend some and how they will save some, there is nothing bad in that, it can go beyond gambling, just that the amount of money that will be allocated on gambling will be included also also among. As for me, I am not like that though, but having this kind of calculations can help in managing finances.
Threshold could really be different and as mentioned that we are on different situations in terms of those things around or simply capacity or capability in terms of finances.
Some does have a high paying job and some do only earn basic wage which is only good for day to day living which means spending on other means or leisure wont really be prioritize
or something like that. Losses could not be always in mean with gambling but also in expenses as well which is really just a typical stuff.The important thing on here is that someone do knows
on how to control their finances so that they wont really be ending up on having a big problem afterwards when everything turns out to be inevitable or unavoidable.
2013  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can trading be likened to gambling and how so? on: July 14, 2022, 09:53:24 PM
Taking risks and looking for profit are two characteristics that are common to both trading and gambling.

The two are obviously different: with trading, you need knowledge and skills to make a profit, while with gambling, you simply try your luck. The profits and risks that come from gambling will be random and you cannot calculate or analyze. But if you trade without knowledge then you are probably gambling.
This is a good one to summarize everything, if you do trading you should be more knowledgeable on how it works and that is more about responsible trading but if you do it carelessly and without any analysis, that’s the time you can call it gambling because you depend on luck. Gambling is not bad at all, its risky but if you know how to control yourself then you can be fine. Don’t confuse yourself about trading and gambling, just know where to focus.
We should put up in our mind that there difference between;

Investment
Leisure/Enjoyment time

Both does have risk but the level of risk would be entirely depending on how you've been dealing with it.
We know that gambling is mostly relying on luck which is not that the case on  trading which does need extreme effort and analysis for you to end up profitable.
You could able directly to determine between the two if you do able to experience it for yourself.
2014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Type of Gambler Am I? on: July 13, 2022, 11:59:33 PM
~

from all the options I read, it seems I'm a casual gambler type (nothing else). I do not make gambling as my goal of making money, not including gambling addicts too, I also do not play with very large capital to gamble

occasionally playing slots, occasionally playing poker but if there is a soccer bet (especially if my favorite team plays) I will definitely place a bet right away Grin

52% of the people also selected Casual Social Gamblers in the voting options, which shows that people aren't serious about making money with gambling. I don't know if they have selected the correct option as most of the gamblers want to make money from gambling and they are not for fun/entertainment only.
For all those who have selected "Casual Social Gamblers", I want to ask them a question. Do you feel relaxed even if you lose in gambling? If not, then you do not fall in this category.

I don't mind losing.  I happen to play this Monday, and allocated 30% of my sig payment.  I played to entertain myself so basically I know I will lose all my bankroll but my challenge is how long will my bankroll last.  With that in mind I played and I enjoyed playing that lasted me for 3 hours betting in a minimum.  Then eventually my bankroll got depleted and end my session with a smile.
If you do accept on losing since from the start or on the time you do make deposit then this is how should people be treating gambling which it should really be for fun and not for source of income.
Majority is really dealing with it just for that kind of sole purpose which is really very wrong because this would really be making you desperate instead of enjoying the game that you are playing.
Me myself is just a casual gambler where i do only play when i do get bored and i do see playing gambling would be the thing that would really wipe off that boredom even though its not
really the same on everyones mindset but people should be thinking or having this kind of treatment towards gambling activity.

To the OP:
Allow me a positive criticism.

You are doing an outstanding job there, no question about that. However, if I were wearing your shoes, I would focus more on teaching the properties of sound money applied to Bitcoin instead of teaching the scoundrels of trading. Trading might deveplop the wrong mindset in youngsters as they will be likely to pay more attention to the quick profits of trading, than to understand the economic underlyings of Bitcoin. Trading may drive students to the shitcoinery and create the opposite effect we all seek which is Bitcoin educations, adoption, etc.
Totally recommendable and good initiative on what Op did and hope that others will be doing the same into those remote places on where bitcoin or crypto hadnt been heard off on which on this way at least do spread
up some awareness even on the smallest way or method as possible.It might not really be a huge step but it still something a thing that we do all appreciate because it do really adds up on overall
awareness and recognition of Bitcoin and on whole crypto market. Even myself wont really be seeing on able to achieve on buying a laptop just for the sake of such goal or
target in mind on spreading awareness.
2016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 13, 2022, 09:59:57 PM
Playing with play money or fake funds is never been entertaining or interesting.  Cry

When you are addicted then it would really be that common sense you would really be using real funds to create or gain real funds which you know that you can buy on something
not on playing on a game and trying to waste up your time on something garbage or doesnt have value.Quit gambling if you are willing to do so, so its better
not to engage with gambling at all because it would really be just repeat on the same scenario which you do still attached with gambling.
2017  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin Reduce the Global Wealth and Income Inequalities in 2022? on: July 13, 2022, 08:59:25 PM
There will never be total equality.

I guess not in the next 100-200 years for sure... But never say never! I think people will evolve eventually, probably after some crazy big disaster of some kind (and there are numerous threats around)... it's how we people learn, it needs to hurt a lot before we start changing the way of thinking!
You are when you said never say never but there is something that will never be possible if we want to be realistic.
Even in the next 300 years which you mentioned there will never be total equality and this is because of human greed and lust.
I think the main reason why there is never going to be equality is that people are not equally skilled, even if you were to give the very same education to two different kids you will get two different outcomes, and while one of them develops incredible and valuable skills the other will not have the same accomplishments, as such it is obvious society in general will appreciate more the skills of the first kid and reward him with more material possessions.
not equality skilled
not equal on opportunities
not equal on knowledge
not equal on country conditions
not equal on risk taking
not equal on making decisions

Equality could never happen on this world.There's always those people who would be sitting on the top.
The more money they posses the more power that they do have since they could do things all they want.
2018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 13, 2022, 07:59:29 PM
We can only use gambling for fun and not think we are trying to win over and over again.
In fact, we will lose more often than we win so maybe we should just enjoy our time gambling and return to the next activity after our gambling time is over.
We must change our mindset of wanting consecutive wins because it is very difficult to get them.
But we can win once in a while especially if luck can come to us.
Gamblers who enjoyed playing gambling are the ones who are trying to beat the casino. Gamblers experience producing adrenalin and endorphins have goals and their goals are different, You won't get thrilled because you are just having fun with games. You are being thrilled as well as having fun because of the risk of the stakes you are betting to. Trying to have consecutive wins is a hard thing to do that's why gamblers are keep trying to achieve it because it's challenging. Entertainment differs on every person, Having goals to be achieved, being challenged and winning is one of the factors for me to achieve my kind of entertainment.
Not at all because seeking out entertainment and playing gambling could neither have both things whether finding leisure while seeking money or just purely seeking out entertainment out of those money had been spent.
We cant really make out conclusions since gambling is free for everybody to get deal with or engage on it and since we do have different mindset and impressions then expect that it would really be on having  that different outcome on every end of the line.On the time you are considering to play gambling then you should mind that you are paying for the entertainment that you do get on playing but people most of the time
do really mind off on how to make profits out of those money that they are gambling on.
2019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does staking even make any sense on: July 12, 2022, 11:48:54 PM

Staking very popular and in demand when cryptocurrency market rise. During the rise of the market many people earn more income for staking but whey cryptocurrency market falls many people stop staking and sell their assets.
If the staking reward less than the loss caused by the massive volatility I guess that makes a lot more sense instead of staking, staking is great if the trend lean towards rally otherwise most of the time the APY that you were offered doesn't really surpass the inflation that is caused by the current trend.
so basically only staking if the trend is bullish.

also, better stake coins that are promising or has the possibility to increase their value over time. because if not, you will just lose in this process. some people are into this earning type because some are just waiting for the right time to sell off their coins. while waiting, why not increase the number of your coins, right? but definitely, not all staking coins are worth waiting.
Not really that worth if we do  talk about future gains because it would be better if you do trade it up actively which you could earn more than on the percentage that you could earn on Staking.
Considering it do offers 10-12% APY or lesser but it wont really give out assurance since coin value does decrease which means it is really on high risk that you wouldnt really able to gain on
year time.So proper planning and choosing of coin  is really that much needed or relevant on doing so. There are still people who are really that fan on engaging into Staking
and some doesnt really get some interest or consideration on touching up this area because it isnt really just worth.
2020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 12, 2022, 10:59:17 PM
This really was an interesting thread because of the subject matter but after trolls and signature spammers started doing what they do, the thread has somewhat derailed. Gambling with fake money as an alternative to help those with gambling addictions defeats the object of trying to rehabilitate those in trouble.
Totally contradicting on what they are trying to aim,right? rehabilitating but still trying to play on using fake money or funds? that wont really able to solve out problem but instead it would even make it worst.
There's so much difference in playing between real money and fake ones and its a wrong mindset or belief that in avoiding addiction you should play with fake money?
thats not how it works.You would be finding yourself to be that desperate on using real money specially if you do find yourself to be profitable on the time you do make use of those fake funds.
So it would really just be on the same story on where you do still end up on playing gambling.
