2081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We lose on the long run through return percentage on: January 31, 2023, 10:08:52 PM
Just like other businesses or like a shopping mall. There is no how you will tell.me that you beat the shopping mall after shopping. Even if you are given a loyalty card which you shop with, there is no discount. They are simply reducing the price of some products and increasing some and give you at what seems to be a cheap price, which is not in a real sense.
So, we all lose on a long run and the business owner takes the profit while we take satisfaction which could be fun for gamblers.
Exactly, we may save some money if we buy when there is a discount or when we receive some kind of bonus for our purchases, but stores do not sell their products for a loss, and the same is true for casinos, running a casino is expensive as their owners have to hire programmers, customer support, rent servers and many other things, and as such they cannot offer the services of their casinos for free, but instead of charging directly like a regular store they use the house edge to keep themselves in business, and as we can see it works very well as only a minority can beat the casino with regularity.
Its a huge and expensive business due to the capital involved which it is normal that they would be running the business for profits and those are via for house edge which is typical.They do need to profit
and they do need to make money to cover expenses which is really that understandable.As a gambler then we should be aware on how things been going on what are the things you are dealing with.
Dont force yourself to win because house do always win in the end.Going for longer terms or session could really make you loss because of HE but if you are doing it for fun and
entertainment then this wont really be that much an issue.
2082  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you still holding your coins #btc on: January 31, 2023, 10:03:28 PM
Apart from still saving now, I'm also still trying to set aside my money for DCA every month because indeed when the previous price was below $ 20k this obviously made me more tempted but now when it's above $ 20k I'm still trying to buy every week regardless of what what will happen later, whether it is a decrease or a further increase, I will still be DCA until the target of $ 30k is exceeded, then I will stop.
This was a chance I had tasted something sweet years before and now I think I'll be tasting it again in a few years to come.
Here's my earning breakdown.

40% for holding for long term
30% for trading
20% for DCA allocation
10% for some spending or buying up something.

Some are also done with altcoins too and not only focusing with Bitcoin but in overall, im trying to deal up with
other coins just to accumulate even more Bitcoins and vice versa.

Doesnt matter on which one you are engaging with as long you could able to save up and accumulate further.
2083  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: January 29, 2023, 07:16:09 PM
I generally prefer salary base jobs where I can do all kinds of work as well as invest as I wish. But the job of the commission is not possible to free one's will efficiently a valuable skill exercise for candidates for salary base jobs. While asking for more money can feel uncomfortable negotiating your skills and hard working attitude can result in a satisfying higher salary, so it's important to overcome this discomfort.
You could be able to point out and realize for yourself whether you are really that good in marketing skills or on hooking up people then commission based jobs wont really be that hard for you plus you could make tons of money which is more than with those salary jobs which is of course it would matter on how good you are into this particular field.

If you arent that good enough on marketing then this would be a problem and it would be better if you do stick with salary based on which you could at least make yourself able to
get some salary on doing those works whether you would really be that busy or not but still you are paid in the end of the month or every 15days.
2084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: January 29, 2023, 11:56:13 AM

Again, if you haven't seen Fulton fight, he doesn't have the same power as Inoue, he wasn't able to bring down Figueroa on his last fight. On the other hand, he could have taken a lot of damages during that fight. Yes he won, but the score is really close. And as I have said, he could have been soften by Figueroa and then Inoue just go for the kill and maybe knock him out, just saying.

Which makes Inoue different because there's no fighter that he has a close fight, well, the closest was Donaire because he survive the 12 rounds, but the result was still all in favor on Inoue since Inoue won via Unanimous decision. This might be a debut of Inoue but despite that, I'm sure he will not struggle and his confidence is still very high, he likes a real action because he got bored in his last fight where he won the undisputed champion.

There's no need to compare their records, it's very obvious, we already know who is the better fighter here. The thing is, even if Fulton is the champ, if he will be able to defend his title, people will react thinking it was an upset. That's how big their trust to Inoue since Inoue has been knocking down opponents, a monster with no fear, that's who he is.
But when expectations is really just that too much then they would really be just telling to theirselves that it is really just normal to lose since its a higher weight division champ so its a bit of a rush on taking him directly which it would really be a common excuse for those solid Inoue fans out there.Well, it cant really that surprising because if we do see on Inoue's potential which it seems that he could
handle up those fighters on higher division.It cant be that be so sure though and it wont be that easy but we could really be able to see
whether he could make it or not.
2085  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Market on the Rise, But Proceed with Caution! on: January 29, 2023, 11:18:10 AM
I've had good PNL so far after doing some accumulation. Obviously taking advantage of the previous bear market has made me profitable today, but what's next - it's going to be something I'll hold them with for the long term (maybe next 2-3 years).

You, I and anyone else still have the opportunity to accumulate assets during 2023. Of course the market is increasing but the market still gives anyone the opportunity to buy a lot. Bitcoin is still at -66% from its previous ATH, and people should be able to take advantage of the current market situation to buy more. I may have had luck getting it at lower price, but that doesn't mean the price won't return to its previous low.
for investors who just entered last year, of course, you already have a high PNL this year, it's evident that you yourself are using this opportunity for accumulation,
but things could change again when you make a mistake, don't be fooled again because the market is actually still not good, WW3 is also in sight so be careful the market will fall again.
don't be in a hurry to do an analysis that the bear market is over, don't let yourself fall into the bullish trap.
For those complete noobs but do be able to get in while bitcoin priced on 16k then they are really that indeed making money as this moment unless if they had made out some sell when it did gain up to 18-20k which we know that it isnt really that a bad spot for you to consider out on selling on your coins which profit is always a profit.You could always make out some buyback if ever the price do make out some correction.

Now the price is playing around 23-24k which is really that hard to tell whether we would be breaking 25k resistance or not.Always move out with caution because we dont
know on what comes next and we dont know on what this market could bring out.
2086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Aptos pumping ? on: January 28, 2023, 11:49:11 PM
Okay, I know that the founders are pretty clever and accomplished, but you could say that of
just about every Layer 1 project. Why is Aptos special ? What does it bring to the space that other
L1 projects can not offer ? We already have too many of these, all of them run by geniuses, all of them
with ground-breaking technologies, and I don't see any of them pumping the way Aptos is ? Or is it because this
project is new or something ? Frankly I don't get why Aptos is so important, but I'm open minded, and
willing to listen.
There are lots of coins that are pumping now which would already be boggling up your mind on how the heck is happening but if you do look up on their real use case then you could say that it is really

the main reason + having this bullish run or positive market condition which is the reason on why they are really making those huge gains.This is why this doesnt only limit out on Aptos but
also into other coins that i know like RON, APE which these coins are really that common.

Pumping? There's always a tendency and you cant rule out on what actually happened behind.
2087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTION: For Gambling Enthusiasts ❗❗ on: January 28, 2023, 10:48:59 PM
Yeah, those games that are RNG are hardly to be cheated on and if there's a chance then that's just a slight one or in a very rare occasion. But those games that are based on skills, we like to get on it because they're based on how good they are. Although for some instances, if it's a PVP type of betting and it's a game where people can abuse and find a way to earn, they'll for sure going to make a way to abuse the game and cheat on it because the system might be foreseen into that situation. Those are like the bugs that's being uncaught and they take advantage of it.
Cheats are a big concern in the PvP sphere, but I think there will be decent products in the future that will have a decent anti-cheat system, which can be a mix between AIs and humans.
One of the hindrance or main blockages on which PvP arent really that something do make out some significant recognition is that these possible cheats could be happen on where
they might be able facing some AI or bot rather than with actual human which it doesnt really give out that kind of confidence into someone.

This is why it ends up on having lesser demand due into those probabilities which arent really that shocking honestly.People do love on sticking up their interest
into those games which are really that instant or something even going against with the house.
2088  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think Bottom is gone on: January 28, 2023, 10:45:10 PM

If the market anchors very well on the bull trend, it will be able to withstand every negative news to a bearable extent.

I agree with you.

I am surprised to see how recent events related to Genesis and Nexo have not disturbed the price of BTC
Dont get be too surprised because this is how this market works or behaves on which there's no way that you could really make our some conclusions about whether it could make out some effect or not

basing on what are those events are whether its positive or negative.We've been through lots of similar situations and news which it didnt really make out some significant effect on the market.

This isnt something that you could rely when you are really that into fundamental because it could really messes up your analysis and approach
towards your decisions because this isnt always do make out some effect.
2089  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: January 28, 2023, 07:51:20 PM
Currently I still rely on salary jobs because I am still about 4 years old graduating from school, many offers to be able to get a job commission and if we compare it with salary jobs, of course, the Job Commission is greater, I have friends who work as marketing property and rely on the job commission and him Can earning around 2 to 4 times the salary I received.

Commission work is indeed interesting to get a high income that can even be ten times, but I think if it's sales it might not be consistent especially if in a business that has lots of competitors you have to really consider it before going into commission work and you also have to take it into account with your ability to sell, many of my friends are like that, they show high income from commission work at first but after a few months they say stop because the competition is very tight and they can't meet sales targets like at the beginning they worked.

Whatever the job, be it commission or salary based. it all depends on the expertise we have. we can do whatever we like, including in terms of earning income. there is no set size, which one is better. basically, everything comes back to the potential we have and how we use it to become an income-generating advantage. there are many people who make good money from their business, or from commission based work. there are also those who like regular income, some of us occupy strategic positions.

Everything has its own portion and potential, according to the expertise we have. because after all, both have pluses and minuses.  the problem is, it depends on us and how we choose according to the abilities, expertise, and opportunities we have.
Yes, because there are people who are really that good when it comes to marketing products or introducing services and other related stuffs which they would really be able to utilize those skills
and expertise for them to make more money specially if its commission based.Its true that you could potentially be able to earn up more than with those salary based but we know that
not all people would really be having that kind of skills which they could take advantage with.This is why most of the time people would be sticking out with those salary based or
fixed ones which i do also prefer, but if you do see that you are somewhat good on marketing then you could go with the another option.
2090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We lose on the long run through return percentage on: January 27, 2023, 11:55:45 PM
To be honest, I did not understand what the essence of your question is. Gamblers lose because of the advantage (margin) of the casino. If a person suffers from gambling addiction, then no matter how much money he wins, there is a great chance that he will spend it on what he loves - gambling, that is, will lose it.
So... everyone knows this and you want to clarify once again if this is true?

True being addicted to gambling will render a person helpless and continue to gamble.  So it is already given that once a player got addicted he will lose all his money due to the uncontrolled urge to gamble.  But I think @OP is not talking about being addicted.  I think he is saying that house edge will eat up our money in the long run of playing in the platform.  Just like in a return percentage of 96% in every $100 bet.  Eventually our bankroll will get depleted because there is a constant outflow of 4% from our bankroll in every $100  worth of wagering.

that's why gambling business is a very lucrative one if the owners how to handle this kind of business. that's the given fact already. but of course, gamblers will always hope that one day they will hit the jackpot. if you want to gamble, make sure that you are emotionally and financially ready to lose all. after all, it is gambling.
Gambling owners would really be taking that kind of opportunity or taking that advantage for them to make profits or revenue out of peoples perception and beliefs on mind about making money on

gambling.If it was never been that profitable then we wont be seeing this industry on being this big.Of course they are running a business and it would be normal that they would really be snipping out

small percentage house edge which is very typical.What wrong is here that people is really indeed pushing up themselves on trying to be profitable and winning which is
the main mistake on why people do end up on being wrekt.
2091  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My step to promote bitcoin on: January 26, 2023, 11:56:23 PM
I see how many people are trying to promote bitcoins in their own way, I am moved and decided that this year, I will play my part in the most little way possible even if I am still a new member here and to bitcoins.

It took me some time to be able to think of something that I could do that will not cost me too much money since I do not have so much of that, and also something that will not require me to talk to people directly because I can get shy.

I decided to get stickers that I intend to distribute among transporters to put in their vehicles and tricycles, and also to put them in places that people can easily see.

I will appreciate someone help preview the post so my stickers can be seen.
--
A very commendable act or move for someone who is really that supporting Bitcoin not only on the earning opportunity that it gives but also into the usage and utility that it is really giving.
We know that recognition is on the move but it would be more much faster at least if there are people who are really that widespreading some awareness even into the most simplest way.
With these stickers then for those who do have zero knowledge on what it is, will really make some curiosity on mind on what it is and would be finding out on what
it is and it would mold up in a new bitcoin or crypto supporter or enthusiast.
2092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a good idea to just register on casino on: January 26, 2023, 09:55:21 PM

You are absolutely correct, in other words, we can simply say that there is no free money anywhere even in free town..
Like you said, it's a marketing strategy which the casino uses to try to get those who signed up on their casino and yet to take action to take the action, so far, I've not seen a bonus from any casino that came with out some requirements like deposit and wager requirements and all that, I believe this is something every gambler should already be aware of, the casino are in the business to keep making more and more money, when they decide to give out some of those money in the form bonus, it is also another strategy for them to make even more money.

Free money or bonuses are just camouflage, ordinary gamblers only know that what is given is a free bonus, but behind all that there are many strategies that they do to continue to make more money. Several conditions are enforced in order to get a lot of profit from the bonus that was issued at the beginning.
Casinos have a big turnover, they keep earning no matter what. fishing with bonuses as early camouflage and getting a lot of profit from one bait eaten by prey.
I agree it is marketing gimmick to convince users casinos take care of you as valuable customer. In reality, it is important to avoid depositing more after losing birthday or whatever bonus casino sent you, IMHO. Addictive gambling websites use this gimmick for years and most of users fall with their own decisions.
It wont be used if it wasnt effective or doesnt make sense at all and we do know on how these casinos trying to hook up their players which is something that a very common aspect that they would be trying it out because this is where they do make out some revenue or profits.We've seen on how gambling industry had able to grow over the years whether talking about those physical gambling places neither on those online ones which is something that do tells that it is really that indeed working or really that effective.This is why they would really be sticking into it.
2093  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your successes over the past 5 years on: January 25, 2023, 11:05:51 PM
But when I look at my portfolio, I'm happy to look at it every time even if the market isn't that good at all,

I think it is the same story and we share the same measure of scam to it. Investing in Ponzi scheme is a scam already because it will eventually fail. Also back in the past ICO was all over the place and investing on it then seem like it was a sure way to financial independence but it never happened, it all ended in scam. This is the story so far but there is still light at the end because some investment still give you hope for increase soon during the bitcoin bull.
Yeah, and it's not a scam like those that we've seen and those pump-and-dump altcoins that we probably managed to have in our portfolios. I'm happy that I've kept still a lot in bitcoin and now regretting that I've used a few from my original holdings just to buy those altcoins that did become nearly as of typing this. We're all hopeful to the bull run and we don't know when it's going to happen but most likely, after the halving which is we're just 1 year and a couple of months far.
Im guilty with this one on which i have lots of shit coins inside my bag specially on erc20 specially into those times where ICO run is really the main thing which everything is hyped up,
but seeing the value of those coins and trying to check it out on which i do make myself that get depressed because of it but there's no other way to deal up with things but to move on.
Doesnt matter if we've been able to commit out those mistakes in the past, the important thing on here is that you do learn out of those experiences and make yourself much more
wiser and aware on how things do works.
2094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Free crypto possible ? Or impossible? on: January 25, 2023, 10:02:38 PM
Free crypto hmmm dear i think that 50 by 50 as the answer is Yes and No also. Yes you can earn some shitcoin or you can say that Some how small real cash as well. Dear You can't make big profits as far i know valuable assets can't be earned in free. For example you can earn some altcoin using the Airdrops & Bouties and many other promotional Campingns. You cant earn Bitcoin or leading digital coins.
When it comes to free then this usually talks about;

1. Airdrops
2. Giveaways

Its not bad to deal up with these things as long you arent submitting any like kyc or some money because we do know that there are lots of frauds and scams
that we do have in the market on which the probability of making yourself that getting involved is high.So make yourself that
pretty much aware when it comes to this.
2095  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC rise described as false bull on: January 25, 2023, 09:59:37 PM
The gradual rise in the price of bitcoin as we started experiencing this January 2023 from around 17k to now 23k (as at when this thread was made), is been described by some traders as a false bull which everyone should be careful about, but then, I wonder how something we all have been expecting while approaching the year 2023 is now coming into play, yet some persons still feel it's a false bull, while some others are pulling in more money due to the bull signs of this January.  What do we think about this as a community here?

As for me, I believe profit in business comes with risk taking(calculative risk) whether long or short, all anyone should always hold to heart is don't risk more than you are ready to let go in the case of loss.
Bull traps or bear traps which it isnt something that very surprising condition here on crypto space whether you are dealing with Bitcoin or other altcoins in the market which it is really just the typical

moments or conditions which you would be able to face on.One of the hardest thing on dealing up with a speculative market on which you dont know on where would be the reversal of the price
specially when its moving sideways on which there's no way that you could be able to identify out on where it would be heading and this what makes things even
more challenging.
2096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Too accessible of online casino grows addiction faster? on: January 24, 2023, 10:59:24 PM

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong?  

There's a point but it would all boils down into someones self control because whether you do deal up with online or offline gambling if the urge inside for you to play gambling is there or the same then you would be still ending up on the same situation or scenario which is to lose up money in gambling in the end of the line.

Here are the main differences though;

1. Accessibility
2. Ambiance
3. Games technicality in terms of outcome or results
which online games gives instant and some on offline too like slot machines
but most of the time you would be waiting up.


But they do share up on the same possible outcome.
-Winning or losing in the end of the day.

I don't understand why rent is a waste of money.  If you do not own a private home, you pay the accommodation price on a monthly basis, at least until you own a home.
Not all would really be to those who rented ending up on having their own house because there are people who pays rent for their entire life.Why? because they dont have the chance on building one

its because their earning isnt really that sufficient enough for them to step aside some amounts for them to save up or simply their income isnt really that enough.This is why its really that situational

if we do speak about this matter on which not all people does have the power or ability to save up and does have opportunity to take up some loan or been approved with those

It seems that people are now getting used to Bitcoin market behaviour, now people are understanding that Bitcoin cycle is 4 years. Imagine if the FTX collapse happen in 2017, I believe the impact will be more drastical compare to today, now I can boldly say that Bitcoin has now recovered all it's losses since the FTX collapsed, is this safe to say?

I never expected the fast recovery that's why I said the world is finally understanding why Bitcoin is a necessity in every one's life, am I saying too much? Or you think I am right?
Safe or not, it doesnt matter because what matter most on here or people would be seeing is that we are above 20k price once again and thats the good thing.As of this writing then we are seeing the

price is hovering around 23k which basing up on technicals then we do need to break that 25k resistance for us to go on 28k or even on 30k.Lets not rush things up because everything would come in
the  right time.This is the most challenging part is that we couldnt be able to determine on where the price would be heading because the market had been always
unpredictable since from the beginning.
2099  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tutored or you learned how to trade? on: January 21, 2023, 11:48:19 PM
Strengthen your psychological acceptance, I mean if you can tell yourself that you can improve for more and you will work for that then the chance is really high for you, both with tutor or with self-study, what is important is you are willing to take that step even you understand that there's a risk of making a mistake.

Using your experienced with an actual trading participation, either you win or you lose with your position, the matter here is how you will use that experienced to explore your opportunities.
This is right at anything you want to excel at. I am learning another skill these days, not something that I can spend too much time on, but I am not learning from anyone at all, I am basically doing it all by myself whenever I have the time I barely get any time during weekends and I have some health issues these days as well, something minor nothing to worry about just need to sleep a bit more that's it and I will be fine.

So, all of that combined gives me very little time but I both believe in myself and enjoy what I do, when you combine these two, there is nothing that can stop you, you could do anything you want at any age, with any financial situation.
Everything could be learned if you do really want or liked to because every information you could learn can be seen or searched online which it does only need up some time and effort for you to do so.
And the rest would really be entirely be depending with your own experience through it.Now that the market is really making up some significant movement then it is really that just right for you to test out waters but of course you would really be still needing even with the simplest or basic information and trying out to familiarize when it comes to technicals and other stuffs correlated.
Some do go on solo and some do really likes to have some mentor.
2100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice on choosing a crypto casino on: January 21, 2023, 10:59:07 PM
Not silly question, I like the way you research platforms before choosing right one for you. Just check gambling board of the forum and find casino Ann threads to read feedback of users. Currently, Stake DuelBits Bitcasino Roobet Gamdom and other similar casinos have great welcome offers, I doubt you will regret registering on mentioned platforms. Best of luck!
We are not advised to explore each casino to know its reputation, all reputable casinos on the gambling board have been tested and guaranteed safety factors because the casino is licensed. So simply choose a casino from the top list of casinos in the forum according to individual preference.
Yeah and we arent that dumb enough not to make out those differentiation between reputable and known compared into those who arent been mentioned which it would be common sense thing that

you would be sticking into those suggested sites or platforms.If you dont wanna mess up on your money or getting scammed or hacked then it would be always a best choice to stick out with the best
and the most popular.We can already automatically tell that they are legit enough because people do much prefer on choosing this casino and play into it because if it doesnt really have
those qualities then it would be normally be reflecting into their own reputation which is basic.
