Most gamblers attempting to find closure will make continuous losses until losing all their funds. It's important to advise a gambler to rethink about his game before he puts the idea of recovering the lost amount through finding closure, so we can prevent him from losing even more money in a worthless attempt of recovering money which has been already gone, due to seeing this terrible idea on a thread from Reddit, although I really don't think there is anyone unable to spot the difference between chasing losses and finding closure, because after all, it's quite obvious they express the same meaning on practice.

Banks are the middlemen between you and profitable investments. Instead of paying you a fair interest for your idle money there compared to the total sum of profit they make by investing it, they just pay you a small percentage, usually inferior to the yearly inflation of the country, while filling their pockets with the largest portion of the profit made. And unfortunatelly they are protected by the government and its laws.

If you borrow money from the bank, you are going to pay high interest rates, but you are forbidden from lending money to other people with the same rates the bank charges, under the risk of being considered a loan shark, a thief. So, isn't the bank a loan shark as well?

Yes, usually regulations by governments is the answer for this kind of question. However, some governments have gone too far imposing too strict regulations on their citizens, some even banning it from their countries. I don't know how efficient regulations are being to prevent the usage of bitcoin by criminals on their schemes, but I suspect it's not enough to stop them, because criminals are always improving their tactics and operational methods.

If they can't use bitcoin, due to the enforced regulations, they are going to use another cryptocurrency to reach their same goals. The point is that they aren't going to stop their schemes. So, it brings a question up: does it worth to prejudice and difficult the access and usage of average users to bitcoin in order to stop a kind of criminal activity which is unstoppable?

Palmeiras is undoubtedly the favorite club to win the competition and we have a lot of difficult finding someone who goes against this prediction everywhere we go. Even supporters of rival teams agree Palmeiras is going to win another edition of the tournament this year.
The 2nd and third places are still a mistery, though. Flamengo is quite popular and always a favorite team to finish on the top positions, but the competition must be tough for a selection of clubs considered to have a similar performance level.

To make purchases with bitcoin is only worthless if you don't replenish your portfolio from times to times, through DCA, for an example. But if you are constantly acquiring new portions of BTC, it won't be an issue to pay for goods and services with bitcoin, as it just mean you are swaping fiat into crypto to use it as money on the present moment, without prejudicing your long term profit potential.

The pizza guy who spent 30 bitcoins was mentioned, but even him shouldn't feel bad about it, because if he had 30 BTCs for a pizza, I believe he had much more for holding purposes... It wasn't spending 30 BTCs in a pizza that prevented this guy from getting millionaire through BTC and it won't be your daily purchases with BTC that will prevent you from profiting from the investment futurely.

You mean games' developers allow bots to exist on their platforms to boost the number of active players considerably, consequently generating positive propaganda for the game. That is indeed a possibility, but on the other hand, fake numbers are never a positive propaganda on long term, because at some point legit players will spot this happening and will start blaming the game and badmouthing it on the internet's circles.

That is what happened to some play-to-earn crypto games and that is a good reason why they failed. Maybe developers think they are being smart for allowing bots to exist until certain point, but in fact, they are being foolish for killing the game created by themselves...

Well, in my opinion it's bad debt to borrow money to invest in bitcoin, because even though it's a profitable investment on long term, we don't know for how long you are going to need to hold your coins until bitcoin gaining more value. In other words, we can't specify exactly for how long you are going to need to wait until selling your BTCs for profit, what is an inevitable calculation when taking a loan.

Loan only is a viable alternative when you are able to determine how much profit you are going to make in a daily or monthly basis with the money taken, so you can schedule the repayment most accurately as possible.

This is simply not possible for real, because the economies of the countries would become too volatile due to working around bitcoin. Therefore, susceptible to foreigner manipulation by rival nations which could manipulate financial attacks (pumps and dumps) much more efficiently than they try doing right now.

That is part of the consequence of using a currency of decentralized nature and it can't be reverted. Governments using bitcoin globally as official currency would turn our traditional economies a big mess, probably leading to more conflicts and chaos than we have right now in the world.

Every promotions and marketing campaigns are actually investments made by the casino to collect more money for their business. If a casino invest 1000$ in marketing, through an influencer, for an example, you can be assured they are going to earn much more than 1000$ back through the advertisement this influencer is doing, that is, through the new customers and maybe even old ones who will come back to the house to play again due to watching the influencers' videos.

You will get scammed only by scammer casinos which will deny a legit payment to you or which aren't provably fair on their games. Not every of them are scammers and you can check their reputation on this forum by clicking their official profiles or at reviews' sites on the internet.

Game of animals (Jogo do Bicho). It's similar to a lottery, but involving animals. Each animal on the spreadsheet has a series of 4 numbers that must be matched in order to select the "winner animal". Those who bet on that animal win the prize.

There is a local superstition claiming that to dream with an animal means it's going to be selected as the winner on the next drawn, therefore you should go for it. There were even parents who demanded their kids to narrate their dreams to find out if there was an animal involved on it, so they could place a bet.

Congratulations. 0,001BTC is a very decent amount to hold on long term. Even though you aren't considering it as savings, it would work pretty well if you were.

The benefit of keeping RPs above the 100K milestone is to be able to exchange more RPs for BTC without having to wait for another 100K accumulated RPs round to do it again...

To say the truth it's hard to predict who is prone to develop an addictive behavior on gambling, because there are many factors, including hidden biological and genetical ones, despite the person being male, female, young or old. There isn't a perfect recipe to prevent the issue of addiction happening in society due to those factors and their variables, but thankfully what we know is that it's only going to hit a small portion of the total population, as history show us.

Moreover, as far as I know he didn't make any deceiving marketing to endorse gambling in a wrong concept to his audience. For an example, he didn't lure the public to believe gambling is a money making method for extra income. He just played and showed his performance online in real time.

Of course 1$ million euros is nothing for him, but at same thing he can't be considered guilty for glorifying gambling for that reason... Each gambler has to know his own personal limits and that each person has different levels of income, therefore they can risk more or less money.

Do you mean 500 spins on the wheel? Personally I'm waiting bitcoin to dump to start rolling again, so I can earn 50 satoshis base reward. I used my spins till the last moment possible when the rewards were still on that range, but as soon as it started dropping to 49, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44 satoshis I just accumulated my spins, and right now I'm with 300 of them to be used. I think at some point a major correction in Bitcoin's price is likely, and that will be when I'm going to use all spins collected at once.

On the other hand, if my prediction is wrong, I'm really screwed up, because I'm going to get much less than 44 satoshis base reward per spin.

Concluí a negociação P2P através do www.bitcoinp2p.com.br, do @nikolaspaolo.

Muito bom esse serviço. Pagamento direto no PIX, mais acessível e fácil de usar do que as exchanges tradicionais.

Parabéns e obrigado pela experiência!

Agradeço também as dicas e contribuições de todos para com este tópico.

I guess ludo game can be found only at minor online casinos, therefore we can't be assured about the legitimacy of such platforms to recommend them here on forum as potential places where you can deposit your money and play.

Anyway, it would be a great adoption for reputable and consolidated casinos' websites to introduce ludo to their games selection, mainly aiming potential customers from countries where this kind of game is very popular, such as India.

Another alternative game that has been a big success in some local gambling platforms I've seen recently is "Dominoes" game, do you know this one?

Well, it seems the rules are fair to every players if that is really how the competition works. Everyone having the same chances, that is, the same "tools" to work on the tournament makes it possible for every gamblers to win the final prize, doesn't matter how rich each of them is.

I have never joined a slots' tournament, but it would be very interesting to do it someday, considering the rules are as stated above, otherwise I have no way to compete against wealthy players having access to lots of bonusses and extra spins.

That the luckiest participant wins!

It's a long time since I used freedogeco.in for the last time. The site was shut down a long ago, but I claimed free coins from it the maximum I could, I just don't remember exactly how much the rewards were and how much I had on my balance.

Was 30K DOGE the hourly jackpot?

Probably I had something like 6000-8000 DOGE on my balance, but that is including deposits I made claimed from another faucets. Unfortunatelly I also sold it very cheap back then. Thankfully, I swaped it for BTC, so it wasn't bad at all...

I also didn't understand this and I have no idea of what skills are involved on the process. All I see is that the called skill based slots machines have an extra bonus round mechanism to allow gamblers to raise their chances of profit a little bit. But I doubt there are arcade games' mechanisms involved on this process. The furthest interaction I've seen with slot machines is the possibility of choosing a card or secret icon from a selection of few of them.

Still, it shouldn't be considered a skill, since the result is based on pure luck. If you are lucky you are going to pick a card with a nice reward, if not, you are going to receive the worst reward or no rewards at all...

Hmm, eu pensei que era só jogar os valores no google, comprador faz o PIX e vendedor executa a transação...

Crypto.com é confusa. Em determinado momento a cotação aparece em real, depois dólar. E o tempo de confirmação é tão curto, que você não tem como prestar atenção nos detalhes. Acaba clicando por impulso.

O que eu pude observar é que antes de fazer a negociação eu tenho, vamos supor X BTC = 100$, após a negociação aquela mesma quantia de X BTC é convertida em 92$. Já faz algumas semanas que eu usei a Crypto.com pela última vez, mas me lembro que as taxas ficaram em torno de 8%-10%. Muito caro.

E tem outra coisa, mesmo que você não venda por ordem direta (instantânea), eles não permitem que você defina vender o BTC pelo valor que você quiser (limite). Tem um preço mínimo obrigatório a ser estipulado, que também fica acima do preço geral de mercado do BTC, dificultando que a sua ordem seja executada.

Será que a Binance não é assim também? Oficialmente eles não informam essas coisas, somente com a prática vamos percebendo esses mecanismos das plataformas.

De repente vocês tem algum parente ou amigo para investir em BTC. Ao invés de comprar na exchange a gente pode fazer por P2P...
