I normally use Binance as my exchange, I don't think it matters what you choose that much early on, just test around on what you think would suit you and makes it easy for you to buy/sell crypto. After getting used to it you can then use bots and whatnot, but early on I don't think you need to stress yourself out of looking for them. As for monitors, I don't think you need a big one or multiple ones early on, though it might help later on (I never really tried it even though I had multiple).
I don't use Bybit but a quick lookup announces that they "announced" night mode so I think it's safe to assume they also have a day/light mode with the white background you want.

Why is Billiards (or pool, or whatever you call it) considered a gambling game...? Pretty sure it's a separate sport altogether, I do know there are different types of pool games but they aren't really connected to gambling afaik. I mean if you compare it to card games like poker, then yea it's pretty far from being considered as a gambling game imo. Not to mention that billiards is a pure game that requires skill, unlike poker where luck is still in play.
On the topic though, poker would be the most general answer here imo, it's a well-known card gambling game after all. Other than that I don't think there's any other that comes close. The others are just different renditions of poker, or are purely luck based which is probably why they aren't considered sports.

DEX would probably win in a general consensus since the release is open to the public, letting users themselves judge whether the exchange is worth it or not. Just that Centralized exchanges would probably offer a lot more QOL at the cost ofc of some things, such as KYC, which I think a LOT of people don't mind, or regardless if they DO mind, they'd still use it just because it'd probably be a lot easier on their part compared to using DEX. There's also the issue of fees which vary so take that into consideration as well when picking between two.

It is however noteworthy to examine these pros and cons of saving fiat versus that of saving with crypto in this period, to be ready for uncertainties.
Knowing what you now know, would you rather save fiat more or save in Bitcoins more?
I'd do a little bit of both. I wouldn't really risk all my assets on Bitcoin, not as crazy as that one family that sold all their assets for Bitcoin (which paid off, but really, what are the chances of that happening again). I'm still going to manage my assets properly so I can respond to both emergencies and for saving up for the long term. I still haven't really withdrawn my initial investments on Bitcoin and I DCA as well so I don't think I'd have issues there. I still keep a part as fiat though, separate from the amount I invest and the amount I use for daily expenses and monthly bills. |

watching this fight made me think that promoters are just exploiting their popularity and these so-called internet sensations just want to have a quick buck.
Basically sums up the entire situation imo. Though the fact that the match went on goes to show that it was a possibility for the match to have traction and for people to pay for it. If the so-called "entertainment" they were looking for was one small laugh from me after seeing that immediate K.O. then they got it. Otherwise I wouldn't really support these kinds of exhibition matches, maybe against retired pros or experienced ones, but this kind of matches? Hard pass. |

It needs a little bit of everything to be able to be financially successful, especially if the considered success is those sky-high levels of being rich. Your starting point would inevitably affect the result, but it isn't everything in the grand scheme of things, as I said, that's just a small part of that "everything" you need. The effort is one, luck is also one, then it just assembles itself bit by bit to be your path towards success. That doesn't mean that it can build itself up though, so start moving, build up skills, knowledge, and relationships (especially this one imo) and it'll just fall in place later on in life.

I think its all about advertisements and getting bonuses by referrals. I remember watching Turkish streamer living in Cyprus (Northern side). Gambling is legal there so he was streaming playing on online casinos at twitch. He was indirectly making ad for that specific online casino website. And he was making money directly over other type of advertisement. I think its pretty normal in modern age. This was like 3-4 years ago.
I think this is more of a "when it started" kind of thing instead of when it popped off and grew so big which was what OP was pertaining to. It was something that was growing pre-pandemic but afaik it was the age during the pandemic that really boomed its growth (the streaming industry in general) since well, people had nothing to do. wow... this is something that impressed me... I confess that I would never have imagined that the "market"/gambling segment could gain a significant share in streaming.
This just shows that with each passing day that gambling is acquiring an interesting "market share" in the current market.
Watching someone gambling huge amount of money regardless of winning/losing is very satisfying because it's very hard to do it by yourself due to risk involved. Streamers are taking this risk to attract viewers is what making there stream special than watching a regular game stream. Some of the streamers provides a big giveaways by just watching them. AFAIK Drake is giving away 25k each person on his last stream that sponsored by Stake. Sky is the limit for the potential of online gambling on streaming world because money will always get the viewers attention. Agree. The self-insert can sometimes be very enjoyable to do, and heck just messing around with the streamer involved after a big loss (or win) can be very fun as well. Not to mention that they do giveaways at times depending on what or how much they win in their games. |

It is quite amazing to see this kind of results that are very low to occur in real life. Gambling can be magical at times because there are somethings we might think not happen in the gambling world that do occur. We should be more focus on what we want if not we might end up missing out big time. This are great result and I know all these gamers are been in the gambling world for a very long time.
though we don't know for sure how long they have been betting, but it doesn't matter anyway. the point here is that, yes few of these gamblers got their luck of their lifetime, it may serve as inspiration to others but don't forget that this fortune is not for all. so if you are chasing this situation for you, where you will use some funds for your basic needs, better think twice. much better if you can just use your extra extra funds, because you are more on the side of losing your funds rather than gaining from it. Anything related to winning in gambling should never be an inspiration lmao. Maybe consider the losing experience instead as the inspiration to not actually gamble. You'd probably have a higher chance of getting money over doing your hobbies in a professional way instead of gambling. Though if you're already in the hole of gambling, think of this as an instance where people who put in enough money can actually achieve. In most cases, those winners probably spent more than the amount they've actually won. |

I really think "Poker" is too dominant in the gaming section of the gambling world wide, it is a difficult game to learn and good Poker players quickly dominate all platforms where it is hosted.  I think multi contest platforms should become more prevalent, because the player vs player contests has been under utilized in Sports betting and even in Slot games. Player vs AI is boring and also predictable.... humans should combat against each other to make it more interesting.  It's why poker has been a pretty dominant game not just in casinos, but rather in simple gatherings and the like. It's easy to understand without the complex rules but factoring the bluffs and mind games you can perform, poker can become something fun to play really quickly. There's also the issue (I consider it as one) that in the case of casino games, There's only a limited number of games that introduce player vs player, Poker being one of them which makes it a more popular pick. |

I honestly think it wouldn't be much of an issue for most casinos to prepare the requirements that they need for payment gateway implementations since it would've originally been needed for registration and a bunch of other official stuff needed before they could officially say that their casino is running. Plus as others have said, crypto itself is an option that doesn't really need much in terms of doing paperwork or requirements in general. Might need some work though if they want to create a local wallet of sorts.

I knew people who were able to get rid of hard drugs and I knew gambling addicts who lost huge sums of money in casinos but were able to give it up completely. So I think anyone who says they can't give up gambling and other addictions on their own is just cheating themselves and those around them. He either doesn't want to and doesn't have the core.
Addiction isn’t really an easy feat to overcome. And that’s is probably why it’s called an addiction. Whether it’s drug addiction or gambling addiction, it really isn’t easy to overcome it. An individual has to be disciplined strictly in order to overcome. In some cases, the addict needs to get some help in order to overcome the addiction and that where rehab comes in. We all need each other to thrive and survive. An addict especially needs all the patience, understanding and constant monitoring to overcome an addiction cause it really isn’t an easy feat Most people don't have an opinion. They prefer to be directed because they are not used to taking responsibility for their actions. Such people find it difficult not only to overcome addiction, but even to live in society. But if a person has life priorities, goals, and a sufficient level of self-discipline, he is able to overcome any addiction. You just need to work on yourself, not look for someone to blame for your problems, and not run away from problems, but solve them. It's probably misunderstood but people who can't remove addiction from their lives do not mean they DON'T want to. There's a variety of factors involved when it comes to resolving addiction, and it isn't something that most people would really understand. The world isn't so fantasy-like and such that you'd expect to be able to fix something just because you want to. The examples we mostly see of people being fixed from their addiction are the cases of success but the thing is, it isn't the only case out there. There are cases of failure out there that have tried, but couldn't really push through and their "want" is not the only factor at play here, but maybe others as well such as financial issues, proper access to help, environment etc. |

If we were to not mind anything else and just choose between the available stable coins out there, I'd go for USDT and BUSD. I've used them for quite a long time now and I don't really have any complaints nor have I actually been inconvenienced afaik. There really weren't any big issues as well that troubled me when I was using them (If there were issues with it, I wasn't really updated with it most of the time).
If you consider how stablecoins are though, I don't think you should use trust on them with how they can basically pull out and ruin whatever amount you have to oblivion. I've never really held stablecoins, I mostly use them for my transactions.

I mean it is true for the most part, that additional expenses can sometimes kill the way you budget your finance but finding other ways for income to pay for those "additional expenses" can help. Examples would be some beer money jobs out there that are pretty easy to do (but yet pretty far apart in terms of being able to do one most of the time). I've been trying to find alternative sources of income, mostly related to my hobbies which is drawing and it's been helping me in paying for a LOT of stuff related to it.

I don't actually understand why they are buying it. Hype? Trend? Be popular? Especially that Dorsey tweet. I mean, why? Buy it for what purpose? You really think it will be valuable in the next 10 - 20 years? Is he a hero for that to happen? He created a good social platform, okay but it ends there. Maybe in the next decade or two he won't be remembered. Same questions like. Who is the owner of Friendster, Myspace? What's the first shared thing in friendster? It is unknown and no one bothers to care anymore.  Things shared in the internet are temporary it won't last long. NFT will stay for a different purpose though. A better one. I don't think it's a matter of what its value for that long (10-20 years) but rather the value it can bring (brought about by mostly hype) in the short term. A lot of projects were brought up by hype imo and well due to the success of a few projects here and there, everyone initially assumed that other projects would do the same. The NFT craze did happen in the middle to end of the pandemic, a lot of people had extra time in their hands ranging from investors themselves to students wanting to invest in something which lead to an insane amount of people talking about it. Waiting for NFT 2.0 - tokens with functionality!
There are a few of these. One of the most interesting developments as of late in this regard is CounterCord, a Counterparty "asset verification tool for Discord." Is the link down or is my ISP just being bad? I tried opening the one in their Twitter post and I also couldn't open it. |

I don't see anything wrong with the fact that the list raises questions from users of the BTT Gambling section. On the contrary, it is even useful. This broadens our horizons and generally gives us new information about what is happening in the gigantic world of gambling.
Is that the reason no casinos on this forum is listed on the website, even sportbet and stake that are old are not listed. I do not consider the listing at all, the best crypto casinos are just on this forum, we have reputable casinos here than the foreign ones I have never even heard of before. I am not saying they may not be good casinos, but not seeing casinos on this forum there make me to doubt if OP knows what he is doing. The fact that there's at least not one casino we know of about is the odd reason, not just the fact that it's here in this forum. Though it may be a case of really, really old casinos or just simply casinos that are more of an offline one instead of an online one that just recently integrated crypto or something similar. Whatever the case may be, I wouldn't really try to go for unknown casinos, especially if most of us here don't know about them It's one thing if some people don't, it's another if a lot don't. Not the type to explore stuff, especially if it was a matter of casinos where I play. |

On very few occasions I have been with a game of martingale in the strategy playing Black Jack, but from my own experience it has not gone very well for me, I do not know if I have applied the strategy at a bad moment, I would not know how to tell what the moment is more suitable to do it, but I feel that I still need it, and I think that the martingale strategy is too dangerous, because it is very easy to lose everything. However, I greatly admire those who apply this strategy and do well, and they manage to be very successful, but I think it is a very risky, very reckless strategy, thanks to this I hardly apply it.
It's not really a "bad moment" kind of thing imo, though it's just the martingale is a really bad strategy to use. It isn't really a strategy that improves the chances of you winning, nor does it improve the chances of you breaking even. It's just a strategy that says " IF you win even once, you get all your money back". I had to bold the "IF" because that IF encompasses the fact that no your chances of winning isn't increasing and no, your profit realization isn't anything big actually, it just lets you break even. It's not even about doing well, it's just you having enough money to reach that big IF moment so that you can get everything back. |

I agree, the streaming industry is growing in the last few years... it's a natural process, and I also think it will continue to grow! Pandemic probably affected the speed of growth, and people were forced to stay at home and the internet was the only source of fun and for many people source of income! That's a great combination for sure, making money and enjoying while you do it, and I guess streaming is all about that... you enjoy doing something while you get paid for that!
100% the pandemic helped in the growth. I mean look at the recent trend of Vtubers (Virtual Youtubers) recently, it was the pandemic that popped them up so quickly into the mainstream (which I doubt would also have happened without the pandemic, but with more time) as well as digital payments all over the globe together with delivery apps and the like. Wont limit out on gambling industry but also in other industries as well which do really involves marketing where it do share up on the same reason on getting some ads and marketing on a specific company
and we know that generating money or income with this kind of work is much more better rather than having a day job which do pay less and when the trend is heard then you would definitely expect
that lots would be jumping in and would do the same because they do know that money making on an easy way is just not comparable in todays physical job or going
to offices.
That's for famous people. And content creation isn't something easy, you're severely underestimating it imo if you just sum it up as an "easy way", especially the building up the reputation part. It's just like in casinos tbf, takes time and takes a lot of marketing and stuff like that. |

It's mostly the players themselves. I'm more of an E-Sports type of guy, so let's take Apex. Big fan of TNC but during the last ALGS (Biggest official apex tourney afaik), FNC Yukaf did some insane sick movement techs which I love very much, so I started looking them up and cheering them on (they also performed rather well in the last tourney anyway). So yea, for me it's mostly the players and the teams whether I can relate to what they're doing or am super amazed at what they do sometimes.

The most prominent characteristic of most addicted to gambling is that they are not satisfied with their standard of living, even if it is acceptable and sufficient to lead a good life. They are not good at doing something useful and aspire to a life of luxury without thinking of doing something useful to reach that standard of living. They resort to gambling in the hope of achieving quick and easy profits, and with the successive disappointments, they become more and more stubborn by being lucky more than others and deserving of the best. Their aspiration towards a life of luxury is not so much ambition as it is hatred and envy for what they see in others. Their situation becomes sophisticated the more their losses increase, and if it happen to make profits, they think that they deserve more than that, so they do not stop.
This is too stereotyped representation of addicted people in my opinion. What can you say about rich people who already have a luxurious life but are starting to get involved in gambling? It is hard to imagine that they play for money, they are just looking for adrenaline and new sensations, which is why many of them take risks by trying drugs and other stimulants. Well in that case we can take both instances and call them the possible causes. Both extremes of one side, one being too rich and one too poor, try to go into gambling to look for something that could help them. The former want adrenaline, the latter need a life-changing experience. Wouldn't really tell that they're equal, but well the world didn't bring us equally here in the first place anyway. There might be special cases though where people just end up being addicted due to, well, playing it for a long time (and I'd honestly place my bets here most of the time). |

3 years should hit close to the usual cycle of bull run of the market no? Then I don't think it's that impossible, and no I don't think it takes an expert to see that much of a similarity in the market. Anyhow going from $20k to $100k doesn't seem that impossible, unlike some predictions where it reached up to what, $500k? This is more reasonable imo.
I'm more interested in their $35k prediction for the end of the year. If they're guessing a dip to $13k then that might be close before the end of the year. I honestly don't think it's going to dip anymore and would just go straight for now. Might reach $30k levels again before we see another dip or two.
