2341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horse Racing and Gambling on it should be banned on: May 08, 2022, 10:42:48 PM
I know this is some kind of cruelty, but this is a really long-running sport and I know a lot of NGOs are campaigning to ban this, but it still failed. This is also like the cockfighting where all of the roosters that are lost usually die, or if not, they will be killed in the end because of the injuries. I know this is the most famous bet and they are still unable to ban it. I'm not for or against it, but it's still cruel, but when it comes to money, no one can stop it, and it's also about gambling, which a lot of big bosses partake in.
Sad reality. People have set aside their concern for animals because there is big money that is at stake. And when it comes to money, people are blind to see its consequences. Although cruelty is there, but its hard to ban this kind of game because this gives pleasure especially to those people who belong to high social status. They will always go against the law even if this will be ban in the future.

Happening again like this, even I shouldn't be right to say something like this and indeed this can be called a prerogative to have tutored someone who was here first but you need to look at some people who have been addicted to gambling and it didn't end well.
I think you know enough about it and let's just take it as a mistake and a reminder that you made such mistakes only in your short mind.
regret always comes at the end but regret without change of course this will not make meaningful results for your life
They say all that is overused is already harmful, and that is gambling definitely looks like. We may profit in the start, but at the end of the day all our profits may only turn into losses, and that's because of addiction. You are not alone in this situation OP, most of the gamblers have experienced this but the good thing is, others have overcome their addiction and start to gamble what they can afford to lose. Maybe a single mistake is needed first before a gambler learns his own lesson.
2343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think New Casino Should Partnered With Bounty Managers To Gain Trust? on: May 08, 2022, 09:57:49 PM
It's their choice but I don't think that it should be like that. Reputation starts from the casino itself and if a reputable manager comes by to partner with them, he's going to be involved with it and just be brought up due to the manager's reputation. But that's a good start if they are willing to partner with a reputable manager from the forum and that's part of their strategy and hopefully, they'll carry that on as they operate. Well, as they say, every business has their own strategy to make with.
Having a reliable bounty manager around will always build a good reputation on the casino, that makes it easy for it to attract customers and gain trust from them. But i do believe even without a reliable manager, a newly open casino will still manage to become trustworthy if they have good customer service that will make the players keep coming in. Because no matter how famous or big time a casino is, its always the good services of the staff that will make them stay for long along with sense of security.
2344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 08, 2022, 08:44:52 PM
- Is it really valid that we should blame the online cockfighting here that's why most people wrecked their lives?
It's all about free will and choice. Those people that didn't end up good have chosen to gamble and they shouldn't blame anyone for it. They are all accountable for their actions.
If there's someone to blame, it is themselves because they are the ones who have the authority to do what they can with their money and they should be responsible for their decisions.
Gamblers should have known from the start that the result of their actions will always be the reflection of their own decision making. If they can't be responsible enough to gamble in moderation, then they should have not entered gambling in the first place. However, online cockfighting should never be banned, because its one way that creates higher revenues for the government and in return, people also benefit from the government's projects. Instead, the government should put more restrictions on it so that people's addiction will be lessen, and will somehow reduced those negative cases related on it.
2345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PROS AND CONS OF CRRYPTOGAMBLING. on: May 08, 2022, 08:14:44 PM
Crypto gambling is worth it or not will depend on you because crypto is a tool like money you use to gamble. While gambling can be bad for you if you don't have enough self-control. But gambling is a form of entertainment for people who want to play various games.

If you can treat gambling properly, whether it's crypto or fiat gambling, then you don't have to worry about the consequences and maybe you can also minimize the losses that will occur later.
Gambling will always be bad for those who are playing it in a wrong way or perspective. However, if you do set your limits from gambling, be it crypto or not, it will not result into a lot of consequences. Crypto gambling is for those who want to have fun and be entertained, but if you take crypto gambling like a quick rich scheme, you will always result into failure. And may only be the reason for future life's misery if you can't control yourself anymore.
2346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Bitcoin teaching approach on: May 07, 2022, 11:50:45 PM
Wondering what I'm doing here? To give a little back story, I have been assigned to a secondary school (high school for those in the United States) for my national youth service as part of the  mandatory one-year programme for graduates of tertiary institutions. I have been assigned as computer science teacher for the senior class in a school where there are no computers. I guess the students are expected to learn only theory and let their imagination do the rest. I want to give the students a different experience other than the one they are used to. I'm a Bitcoin guy, I wear a Bitcoin shirt to work. I'm practical about bitcoin and want to integrate Bitcoin and crypto as topics in my teaching practice. I am preparing a course outline and borrowed some beginner topics from bitcointalk. I will be borrowing computers from nearby centers for class projects when the time comes. I don't know what to expect from the students, any suggestions will be appreciated.
You can't expect for your students to grasp things easily about bitcoin because all they know is fiat, and bitcoin is still strange for them knowing they don't have the technology to have an access for the latest inventions. However, if you can teach them the potentials of bitcoin and all its advantages and disadvantages compared to fiat, that way they will start to understand bitcoin. But presentation of bitcoin from computers should be more visible for them so that the learning will be more effective.
2347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ever heard of this "buy at dip and be rich in the future" on: May 07, 2022, 11:05:00 PM
I did it all month of April. although do not know where the lowest point. I bought AXS, I bought Sol, ftm, luna, bitcoin, avax, all coins that I think have great potential and prices are falling. but today i started to doubt, what i did was right?
after I observed my assets were down quite a lot and it was enough for me to have trouble. I want to ask what did I do wrong? Or is this the right decision?

You just bought these coins this month and already you are in doubt about your decision?
Do you think few weeks is enough to determine the success of your investment! Does one month investment sounds like future to you?
Maybe you should reevaluate you investment decision, perhaps you are not ready for long term investment, besides all the coins you mentioned above are solid which can recover quickly once the market is back. So just chill and relax.
I think OP is still new when it comes to crypto investing and so he expects quick profits despite of the market's bearish state. You don't have to rush OP because everything pays off once the market turns bullish, so just continue long term hodling and never be bothered with the current price drops as you won't also sell when you're still at loss.
2348  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Will Btc be considered as an everlasting investment platforms on: May 07, 2022, 09:58:07 PM
We can safely assume that bitcoin is here to say. But we don't know if it's going to be there for a lifetime since it's still said and considered to be in its early stage.
But just look how massive the growth of this asset that we've been part of. And to think that it's going to replace fiat, we can stop thinking about it because it won't happen as fiat and bitcoin will stay together.
I would also agree that bitcoin will be here for good but not as an investment platform but a good currency because that is what's supposed to be. Although its hard to say for now that bitcoin will replace fiat, but seeing other countries shifting into digital currency, i guess there is always high probability that bitcoin will be the global currency in the future. If not, seeing bitcoin integrated into fiat is already a big achievement for bitcoin.
2349  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My First Crypto Mistake on: May 07, 2022, 09:36:43 PM
Haha, I can relate on this post. I almost sell my car just to invest more on shitcoins way back 2017 and planning buy back brand new car after I get profit to my ICO investment. Good thing my wife hits me hard and make wake up in my delusion because the ICO that I’m planning to purchase experienced huge dip few weeks after token release. I almost experience that scooter picture If I really invest in crypto during that days when euphoria about getting rich is very contagious.
You are not alone  on this. I almost spend my hard earned money due to FOMO during that time that a lot of speculations about bitcoin going to the moon. I could end up the same misery experienced by OP. But i always believe, there is no guarantee in every investment. Though you take risk, but sometimes you still end up losing. Good thing OP you are starting to recover and hopefully, it will be for sure gains this time as you prioritize bitcoin over shitcoins and you know already investing on the amount you can afford to lose.
2350  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A single trading tool is not enough on: May 07, 2022, 09:15:56 PM
Not sure but using different indicators usually doesn't work for me. I agree with the above replies, using multiple indicators makes things more confusing as, most of the times, each indicator gives a totally different results.
To be honest, am not an expert when it comes to technical analysis nor am a full time trader, but when I do I rely mostly on the market sentiment indicator more than any other indicator.
There are no other indicators that are much as effective as knowing the market sentiments all the time. You can have all the trading indicators as much as you want, but even knowing only the trends and sentiments of the market will give you higher chances to succeed in trading. As long as you always read the news and keep updated with the current events, you can always use it to determine whether the market is best to trade or not.
2351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Saved Me. on: May 07, 2022, 08:46:09 PM
You are the lucky one among them, if what you tell is true, you are the best person I have ever seen, maybe your patience is what makes you successful in Bitcoin investment.

Most people think negatively when they lose in phase 1 and 2, but you don't, you have a strong desire and keep trying to do the best for yourself with Bitcoin, It's natural that you now earn 3x the profit of your losses in the first phase.

I hope that in the future you will be more optimal and have big profits from what you have found in Bitcoin, You have proven that nothing is impossible with Bitcoin, if there is faith and the will to success will accompany you, the point is: be patient in doing it.
Well, its hard to make profit 3x these days as bitcoin value has remained below $50k, but if you invested bitcoin when it was lower than the current value, most likely you are profiting today. You are really lucky if what you said is perfectly happening to you, because as far as i know most of the traders nowadays are not profiting as high as  before. Just keep on investing and trading in bitcoin, i know you will be more successful in the future if you stay patient and has positive mindset.
2352  Economy / Economics / Re: Standard of living on: May 06, 2022, 11:45:17 PM
The prices of goods and services are increasing everywhere in the world, inflation being the major reason why, the physical and political war in Ukraine is also compounding issues for some specific countries, as we know if prices of commodities are high which they are, people will spend more money to buy the goods they need and pay for the services they want. Standard of living on the other hand is like a general term to quantify the economic well-being of people in any country, meaning if the prices of goods and services are high, people would be able to afford very little goods and services and that will make the standard of living to drop generally, and that also goes vice versa.

So i would like to know what the standard of living is like in your country now compared to five years ago. Was there any sharp difference in the standard of living pre pandemic and now. If there is a great fall in the standard of living in your country, have there been any move by the government and employers of labor to alleviate the sufferings of people. People who live in Ukraine, if you don't mind, i think a lot of people would want to know what it is like there too since the war began.

Inflation has been a big issue too in my country that makes the poor people even struggle more for daily survival. I remembered our country's economy was quite stable then before pandemic but when pandemic hits the country, its revenues and income drop as well. Thus, making the prices of daily necessities very expensive that even the rich people also reduce their purchasing power. Now, i think inflation will be here to stay for good, and that people should be smart enough to manage their funds so they can still provide their family's basic necessities.
2353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you spread BTC to people within you on: May 06, 2022, 11:02:12 PM
Hello all,

As a lover of Bitcoin how do you spread Bitcoin, i mean how do you tell people about Bitcoin and it's adoptions?
To me i have held many discussions with friends in college with me, sometimes teaching them blockchain, the future of Bitcoin and why we should buy and hold Bitcoin, how the world will be in 5 years to 10 years to come. With this little meetings i have been able to share with my friends and also spread bitcoin to mates in college and i know they will do the same and if everyone does the same tell me what will be of Bitcoin today. So let us support Bitcoin max Adoption by telling people arounds us, bitcoin remains the future of money.
Telling someone about bitcoin is not only the only way to spread bitcoin around you. Instead, i will act as a model and show to them the life's improvement i have when i started owning bitcoin. Although not to brag about it, but if you can show to them some proofs excluding your  own wallet's income, then that will caught their interest. You don't have to tell them, let the gossipers do the talking.
2354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is your bitcoin hero (excluding Satoshi)? on: May 06, 2022, 10:19:38 PM
Thinking of it, I do not follow notable names in the Bitcoin world, a few names pop up like Hal Finney, but overall I do not really look up to anyone in the Bitcoin community. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of notable members who have cobtributed immensely to the growth of Bitcoin many of which would not be k own publicly.

This forum and all the members who keep it going as the most reliable resource for Bitcoin discussions after quite a number of years would pass as my Bitcoin heros and heroines.
Heroes do not need to have big names and high-profile individuals for them to be remembered for their notable contributions. Sometimes, they are just those regular persons living in private but deserved enough to be called heroes since they make the forum more interesting and become more informative on part of the newcomers. Yes, i agree that these bitcoin heroes and heroines are more seen in the forum actively participating in all good discussions. 
2355  Other / Meta / Re: Advertising and shilling on Bitcointalk on: May 06, 2022, 09:55:54 PM
So, the next time you see a specific member or a group of people shilling a particular brand or 3rd-party website aggressively, it is quite possible that they are paid for it. 

This is not necessarily always the case though. For example, I’ve shilled for Tesla products like the Cybertruck and Powerwall without being compensated by Tesla. You could make the argument I did it to farm referrals, but that’s a flimsy case. Sometimes people just like products and want to share them. Recently I also made a thread that could be construed as shilling for the Sondors Metacycle. I really was just presenting what I believed to be a good opportunity to get a fun electric vehicle for a number of reasons (inflation and manufacturing price increases/rarity). Believe me, or was this just another paid post?  Wink.
I guess we can really sense it if the poster is shilling because he was paid to advertise it, or its just his own will to advertise what he thinks other should know about it as well. But as long as shilling is there, the promotion is there, it will always be against the forum rules. So if we can create post without shilling aside, i think that way will be safer and won't create complications in the future.
2356  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: cryptocurrency trading courses on: May 06, 2022, 09:28:29 PM
i'm looking for a good trading course. i found some good ones on udemy based on reviews but im not quite sure if they are actually worth it. i dont know how to value them. i want to learn trading from A to Z step by step without jumping here and there on youtube. ive been doing quite till now but i feel i have knowledge gaps. if u can please link me to some nice courses i'll be thankfull.
There is no single course which can teach you everything about trading, but for starters, Udemy is excellent source, just learn the basics properly because once you learn the advanced theories people tend to forget the basics which is the major reason for their failure as a trader, even though there is no such one course but there is one book which really can open your senses about trading as a whole, it's "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John.J.Murphy. It's a great book and actually can help you train your brain as to how to find good trade ideas and how to actually develop that trading thinking.
There are a lot of courses in trading that will definitely teach you some valuable lessons, but i also believe that this Udemy will somehow give you the best course for a first timer. But as a friendly suggestion, do not just focus on a single source but its better to create multiple sources because that will give you an advantage to learn more on trading. However, the most important is you learn first all the basics, and apply all of them once you decide to do real trading.
2357  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 6 real-life lessons I learnt from Bitcoin (No 6 will amaze you👇) on: May 05, 2022, 10:41:35 PM
Well, I have also some lessons that I've learned from bitcoin. And the main lesson I've learned is being patient pays off. I know that all of us became patient and held for a long time.
That's why those that have made profit when bitcoin hits the last ATH, they're the ones who have been the most patient. I also made a profit but I've sold earlier but still, I can say that I've became patient and still made it.
Not just in bitcoin, but even in all aspects of investments, patience will always be of highly importance. You can't just go investing and becomes impatient when your investments are not meeting your expectations, that will only lead you for more future losses. Same with bitcoin, those who exert more effort to become patient most of the time, will always seen being successful in the end. Although long term hodling is less risky than trading, but you can't be successful in it if you don't have enough patience to hold.
2358  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Elon musk's buying of Twitter fueled by Jack Sweeney?? on: May 05, 2022, 09:52:31 PM
Surely he could have saved 44 billion dollars and offered the kid 50k instead, no?

He's already said he hopes his critics stay on Twitter. It's not much of a profitable enterprise anyways, so he'd be better off not arbitrarily banning people like the current model the executives have in place. He probably bought Twitter out of boredom and because he can afford it.
I guess its more on he bought Twitter because has the money to buy it, and it will pave way for his own real intentions to still make money the most. And definitely, if he thinks Sweeney can compromise his own plan, then he must have settled with him in a way that only Sweeney and him know the deal. But whatever it is, it does not change the fact that Elon always takes advantage where there is a great way is. At the end of the day, i just hope Elon's owning Twitter can bring improvement for the platform as much as it will bring also a lot of advantages for him.
2359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Afraid to buy Bitcoin in its bearish state? on: May 04, 2022, 09:46:35 PM
Quote
There is no way of knowing what will trigger a Bitcoin bull run, but a Glassnode report on April 18 has spotted “a large amount of coin supply” hovering between $38,000 and $45,000. For traders who believe that BTC will hit $50,000 in July, there is a low-risk options strategy that can be used to launch a long bullish bet.


It is understandable that people tend to follow the most active entities in the world of Trading since having experience in this area people place their trust in them, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency full of possibilities, that is why it is so volatile that it's up today. and low tomorrow, but many investors usually see the movements of these and could even predict the future of this (not entirely true but they are close). What I mean by this? Basically this cryptocurrency is not going through its best moment since it is even said that it will oscillate between $25k, this is where I highlight my comment “Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency full of possibilities” since for some investors this will be the key point and the moment exact to invest in this and see it as a long-term investment since it will have to rise due to its volatility and good profits will be generated, it is a matter of time for this to happen. Don't you think it's a good way to take advantage of the bearish state of said cryptocurrency?
Information extracted from:https://es.cointelegraph.com/news/afraid-to-buy-the-dip-bitcoin-options-provide-a-safer-way-to-go-long-from-38k
If you are smart enough, buying bitcoin at its bearish state is the best move for a wise investor like you. Since wealth is build in the bear season, then we should also fill in our portfolio during the bear season. That way, we will get more discounts from buying bitcoin and with the rest of potential coins, and we will also maximize the profits once we start selling when the prices have reached their peaks. The bearish state of crypto market has definitely a lot of opportunities to offer, but only smart investors are aware of that.
2360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Rollers on: May 02, 2022, 09:44:43 PM
This can be for fun, and I believe these whale gamblers are in profit even after wagering with such big amounts. Without profit whether it is a whale or someone who doesn't care about money will rethink whether to wager with such big amounts further. There is more chances of these whales to be in profit. Op should've watched little more time, if so we could've known whether he won further or took break.
They have planned it before they put those huge bets. But there's a possibility that they've just bet it due to their emotion tickling them and they're triggered.
That's very possible but for most of them, they're planning their actions and their wagers. And as they bet with such amounts, it's either they've won that amount in the past or they have it on their stash but is willing to lose.
  If you put a huge bet on a certain game regardless if you are a big whale or not, i believe everything is already set on a plan. No one would be fool enough to play just for fun considering your betting a huge amount. Losing will still be painful if it happens. So most likely, high rollers have their own plans prior to that, and winning from huge bets will certainly bring more fortune on part of those high rollers.
