2121  Economy / Gambling / Re: What makes you hide your bets in public? on: July 08, 2022, 10:56:46 AM
I don't publicize my bets (or the fact that I gamble) in general, I don't really see the need to. It's not a matter of strategy or whatever really, imo games would still boil down to a matter of luck anyway. At the same time though, I don't really hide it, if someone approaches me and starts talking about gambling, I'd join in and enjoy a talk over a drink or something. Some of my close friends do know I'm gambling so we do have some conversations about that, especially if it was about sports gambling.

Don't stake if it wants you to do it on an exchange or if the amount you staking is rather low. It'd be better to stake if you have a huge amount of that certain coin and then stake them if you're not particularly doing anything (shorting) with it. Also the APY being 18% seems kinda doubtful. You're free to stake it but make sure you can immediately withdraw whenever you want so that you can avoid getting taken advantage of so you can still leave/sell at a profit if needed.
2123  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BITCOIN + Crypto Market Analysis on: July 08, 2022, 01:17:46 AM
It was an analysis turned into a video so that visual aids can be used in a bit of an interactive way. And also well, plug some telegram groups here and there  Grin. The title of the video seems kind of dumb though, it just screams "clickbait".

Also if you're looking for views, doing crypto in itself is wrong imo, though you might get more views instead if you were to turn it into a news segment kind of thing about crypto. People would much rather see a small overview of the conclusion of an analysis, rather than the analysis itself. People will talk to you about the analysis as replies if they want to discuss it themselves but in general, an overview is a lot better as an intro.
2124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Careful With Your Slot Activity! on: July 07, 2022, 12:47:36 PM
It's not just slots, it's gambling in general really. Honestly once the "ask for loans" phase started, the victims' family or friends should've honestly persuaded the said person from continuing the gambling, especially in this case where the debt went up to $9000. Pretty sure $9k is a pretty big amount in any country, I'm kinda dumbfounded how it never actually hit the person in question about his loan going up to $9k. Even going to idk, $1k or $2k is enough to wake me up and stop gambling even if temporary just to pay the debt.

Not to mention it's an android app it seems? Read a few reviews and it doesn't seem to be anything good. Idk why this was even recommended as a place to play slots even.
2125  Economy / Gambling / Re: The History Of Gambling. on: July 07, 2022, 12:46:45 AM
I mean if you consider it, sometimes basic decision-making can be a result of us just basically gambling. I mean, who knows, even some of their discoveries may just be a result of a simple gamble of yes or no, so yea, gambling has been an integral part of our lives imo. Just that we pushed and developed it more with tools and simple games which made it more entertaining and easy to understand in the long term. I reckon not everyone was people who concentrated on the development side of stuff and the like, so I reckon gambling started there as a form of entertainment (especially for the rich), which people just ultimately developed.
2126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin made you a millionaire? on: July 06, 2022, 02:02:03 PM
It didn't really make me a millionaire but some of the coins that I've profited off rather well are SLP and VIS. I managed to hop on as somewhere around the early to the middle period when the market was booming for those two coins, so I manage to nab a pretty good profit out of it. Other than that I've mostly stopped in looking for other projects and just held on to DCA'ing my Bitcoin (since I'm busy with studying) so yea, if I ever do make it as a millionaire majority of it would come from Bitcoin.
2127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Take This 2 Minutes Nine Step Quiz To Access Yourself In Gambling on: July 06, 2022, 04:57:06 AM
Why is Low-Risk Gambler not in the choices lmao. I mostly answered Never and had like one or two questions that had sometimes or most of the time. The quiz is kinda easy to idk, trick? yourself to believe you are a low/moderate gambler since the questions are pretty straightforward. Not that I did that though, I rarely gamble and I mostly do sports gambling anyway, I finance myself quite well imo and I never had that many issues with money.

I honestly hope the questions had some sort of idk, philosophical twist? or at least make the questions not so straightforward so that people can answer them subconsciously though that may just degrade the results.
2128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meta (facebook) launches NFT display options on Facebook. on: July 06, 2022, 01:34:54 AM
Do you think there exist a privacy risk if the wallet is linked with Facebook or other social media? Will facebook users will still have the option to use metamask or facebook will develop his own wallet?
Uhm yes quite naturally? Facebook is a hub of people who pretty much do not mind (or are ignorant) of Facebook collecting their information for their own use. Heck, they even use it themselves as a way to publicize who they are and what they're doing. I don't even think this would be a thing for other users, this would just be used by project owners themselves as an advertisement of sorts. As for connecting wallets, this should be rather easy to implement at this point in time imo so I don't think they wouldn't do that. As for implementing/creating their own wallet, well it certainly wouldn't be impossible.
2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League has asked clubs to voluntarily end Gambling deals on: July 05, 2022, 01:04:18 PM
I've seen some stands that gambling sponsorships don't necessarily have any connection whatsoever to the problem of gambling (gambling addiction to be specific), and I honestly agree with it for the most part though I do believe that this just ended up like this because they couldn't necessarily find any other link or causality as to what causes gambling problems, so they just went ahead for the most obvious ones, aka public advertising of gambling companies, so no I don't really think it's justified.

They are considering if it's permanent or not still though, so that's a plus I guess..? ;
2130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino can play a role in changing fortune? on: July 05, 2022, 06:58:46 AM
Looked up a bit and it seems that $27k was a lifesaver for them. It managed to keep the company up and running for a week which enabled them to basically make a comeback, basically turning the entire situation around. I also liked how the mindset of the founder was like, "We're doomed anyway, might as well try doing something with it". A true kind of YOLO moment for them. Honestly wouldn't even consider doing it at that moment if I was in their position, especially even considering to turn to gambling at that point.
2131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: July 05, 2022, 12:33:07 AM
Gambling addicts would remain as addicts even when forcefully separated from their original environment. The activity has already been set in place, and only constant care could actually remove it. It's like how removing cigarettes from a smoker wouldn't really help, heck would probably even make things worse since there's a possibility of withdrawal. Not to mention it isn't exactly easy to remove gambling from an environment due to the internet which makes it easily accessible.

Letting someone grow in a gambling-free environment though does lower, but not completely remove the chances of someone falling into addiction. We generally gamble not just in gambling games but also in simple decisions, especially when we were young. A kind of YOLO moment so to speak, and honestly, if they were to find that excitement thrilling, they may just fall into the gambling hole sooner or later.
2132  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: advice for who are witnessing this market for the first time. on: July 04, 2022, 01:18:23 PM
If you're panicking about what's happening right now, look at the market charts but zoom out. Observe and see how the pattern of dumps and pumps has always happened and that it's something natural. See how price dumps have always recovered and probably more. Now, look at how long it took for those scenarios and start honing and understanding how much your patience is in play here. After that, I'd honestly just let you think for it yourself. If you want to keep hodling but are doubting, just repeat the cycle of checking the charts and reminding yourself that you're hodling for the long term.
2133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is for big bag holders on: July 04, 2022, 05:30:26 AM
Well, you ARE playing with martingale. It might be a common strategy offered by most people (and it's probably the most known tbf), but it's honestly just for big bag holders. It may be good if luck hits you pretty well and your losses were well within range, but if it maxes out well your entire bankroll is finished in a few bets. Well if you were to do small bets with a big bankroll it could last you longer but yea if luck hits you pretty badly even with martingale you'd still lose them all (which is the case always with gambling anyway). 
2134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Common Types of Bonuses Offered by Online Casinos on: July 04, 2022, 01:09:56 AM
Idk if you can count this as a different type of bonus or VIP program, but recently some casinos have started using NFTs to provide bonuses right? Rollbit for one afaik, lets your account receive different types of bonuses depending on the NFT that you hold that they released. I'm not sure if there's a casino that provides VIP + NFT, but afaik NFTs count as a sort of VIP on their site instead of a separate one.
And promo codes, what kind of bonus it is?
I guess it should be similar to free spins? Though instead of promo codes being under free spins, it should be the other way around.
2135  Economy / Economics / Re: The BTC price must stabilize in the long run. on: July 02, 2022, 04:48:41 PM
Agree, though completely removing volatility may be impossible though. There might also be cases where big companies that hold big amounts of Bitcoin could temporarily fluctuate the market and if that happens, even if Bitcoin was volatile for a certain period, it wouldn't really appeal as a properly stabilized currency

On the other hand, Stabilization would seem to include it being regulated (not banned) which may not appeal to some of its enthusiasts.

if this is done, how is bitcoin going to make a difference from other forms of asset and currency both CBDC and in fiat, i think volatility is one of the standards to profitability as the demands and supply rate determines the shift of them both, while some are gaining some may not due to volatility, the market can't be on a fixed price even when the whole remaining blocks have been mined.
Decentralization. Volatility isn't even a main feature when it comes to Bitcoin, it's just a natural event due to supply and demand.
2136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The future of metaverse in crypto space on: July 02, 2022, 01:51:49 PM
It doesn't seem like it's dying so far really. There's still a bunch of people pushing for the metaverse and the idea of it's development together with various NFT programs and the use of blockchain and crypto together. There'd probably be a lot more projects who would hop on the trend train and possibly develop the system more (hopefully anw). I just hope it doesn't fall off towards only being empty hype and not really developing anything (since honestly, metaverse has always been a thing, look at minecraft).
2137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Educate my community here in Subdivision about Bitcoin on: July 02, 2022, 01:00:29 PM
I think it might be better to give them a general idea of Bitcoin and what it is and how it works, then tell them to come back to you if they look stuff up and they have questions to ask. I don't think it's proper to encourage a class-style of teaching about Bitcoin, I honestly doubt they'd even be able to process that much information and be able to inquire back if they were to ever ask questions about it. After that first comeback of theirs, you can then include some snippets of related history and such so that they can broaden what they know and possibly look up more stuff which again, repeats the loop of them coming back to you to ask some questions.
2138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 02, 2022, 04:42:44 AM
The idea is good but i think this will not be helpful at all. This app is only preparing the gambler itself to become a real good trader through developing his betting skills. And when he think he's ready to gamble with real money, that's when he'll start becoming more compulsive and then lose his real money. So the addiction for gambling will still likely to be develop after that. The only way to stop losing real money is never to gamble at all, and stay away from any activities related to money gambling.
I honestly think comparing gambling to what is a possible process of learning how to trade is weird since there's nothing to even prepare in gambling. Gambling is simply an activity or form of enjoyment where money is required to play and where most of the enjoyment comes from having the possibility of getting the money you spent back and more without any whatsoever requirement or study except for the game mechanics. I do agree with the alternative being not gambling though.

or maybe this will be alternative when the gambler totally loss its money and seeking for something to enjoy His time while seeking for another capital to gamble?

because I know that gamblers get bored once they lose everything in hand and eager to find another money to play for.

while waiting this is the alternative but will not be completely take the aggression of gamblers to bet from legit money than this fake money.
idk, pretty sure there are a lot of other games out there much more enjoyable than, well, dice. And if they can play without money, why play with money in the first place.
2139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inherited gambling on: July 01, 2022, 11:38:52 PM
I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is gambling can be hereditary ,
Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.
Well, that's interesting. I mostly believed gambling to be an issue that stemmed from the community surrounding the person themselves, at least that's how I entered on gambling, being influenced by my high school friends back then.

- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?
If it was fully on the DNA part then no not really. It's the same as blaming a deaf person for being, well, deaf. Seems kinda dumb doesn't it.

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?
It always can be imo, whatever the source of their gambling addiction may be. It's just going to take time and a lot of effort on the players' side.

-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?
That requires a completely separate study imo, and not something that users here can actually answer. That requires factual data after all. Though I guess completely separating DNA-induced vs habit-induced gambling can be close to impossible, if they are actually two different factors (or even exist, for that matter).
2140  Economy / Gambling / Re: Disgusting beitsler on: July 01, 2022, 11:23:05 PM
. I kept it for myself till today withdrawal attempt. Proof proof. How im gonna proof that my last 15k or more bets was rigged? Could you tell me? its  not like on stake that i can see history of ALL my bets.
It might be the support text instead of the bet history. I don't think there's any valid way to provide proof that Bitsler actually rigged your games or you were just, well, extremely unlucky. If you were solely saying that Bitsler rigged your games with the only proof you have is saying you lost continuously, some may believe it but it wouldn't really be a proper accusation imo since there's no solid proof (unfortunately). Chances are most would just attribute it to, well, gambling being gambling, that there's always a chance for you to lose.
