1. You must split your coins in 2-3 wallets, to avoid losing all your coins if they are all in one wallet. But then you don't know what types of wallets to use.
After the FTX case and all the chaos of centralized exchanges then I think anyone should consider these tips as well:

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

Quote
Ideally, you should keep as large a percentage as possible of your crypto assets in a wallet where only you control the private keys. Electrum for Android or desktops is one good option. For iOS, there's BlueWallet. If you have a large variety of different crypto assets that you need to store, there's Unstoppable wallet. If you have never used your own trustless wallet before, using a mobile app is probably safer than using a desktop app. An even safer option, which you should definitely consider if you have a lot of crypto assets, is to use a hardware wallet such as Trezor or Ledger.

Unless you can choose a few recommended wallet, then you should consider not keeping your assets on the exchange for an amount you cannot afford to lose. Of course for certain amount you can keep it on the exchange, but for long term investment then you need to consider wallet that you have complete control over. Have self-custody for your assets, it's much safer for your goals in the long term.

I think it is time to end the drama about the issue concerning FTX. For sure many of us are aware of the risk of putting your assets on exchangers but still, people still continue such habbit. But I won't force them not to do so 'coz they might be trusting their exchanger that much. If we would look back to past, scams were on projects and rarely with exchangers. To my awareness, it is only FTX which became careless of their funds which yield to irreponsibility and collapse but that does not conclude that every exchanger would also do so. Indeed there is the slightest tendency, but generalizing will just result to FUD and bigger problems.

Going back with the topic, indeed this technology would make you aware of things, mentally. From planning, controlling oneself with actions, to speculating. But I doubt that is only due to this technology. It is applicable to lmost everything, it is just more emphasized on this blockchain because volatility is too high.
2342  Economy / Speculation / Re: How was your belief formed? on: January 19, 2023, 10:56:31 PM
It is a matter of consistency with what you are believing in the first place. As long as you have your own reason to continue with the thing you are passionate about, then you're good. It is just that people would doubt something they are not really aware of until they see the fruit of your 'labor'. As others have mentioned, many of us experienced such doubts from people around us regarding this technology. But on a broad perspective, it is just a misconception and misunderstanding. Since you are the one who knows well of this industry, it is somewhat not surprising to know that you are the only to be amazed of the potential for this technology. Just continue as you believe.
2343  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Curiosity on Bitcoin brought me to this amazing platform on: January 19, 2023, 09:57:57 PM
Indeed this platform opened new opportunities for both investors and non-investors of cryptocurrency. This is also where most of the users here learned more about this technology and ways of being aware of the advantages such as with profit making and transactions. Topics having different concerns and to how users share their opinions about it.
I love the integrity of this platform and it makes one feels very safe here knowing how fraud has increased all over the World.

Well guess what dude — Bitcointalk is just as unsafe as most community platforms on the world wide web. Same with other social platforms, you just need to ignore(or better yet, report) the spam/scams and focus on the good topics/conversations.
Everything which is open to masses would be 'dangerous'. Not all informations you would read, will be based on facts especially if it is opinionated. As you learn new things you'd be able to identify which information should you keep and use , as well as info you should disregard. That is a part of learning process I think.
2344  Economy / Gambling / Re: Kryptogamers Hive No KYC Casino on: January 19, 2023, 09:26:58 PM
I'm fine with Kyc procedures especially the casino has a good reputation. The only risk involve in this process is that your identities might be used on things without your consent right? But that I think would be somehow impossible. There are as well many advantages of it which I lately realized such as not allowing quick withrawals in connection with hacked accounts. Also, it would limit those players (depends on the kyc requirement 'coz IDs could be somewhat faked) especially minors to be able to play in casinos. From engaging to many sites with KYC, I had no problem so far so maybe it just depends on the sites you are choosing. A site with no kyc is not enough I guess to be interesting to the eyes of players.
2345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Giving bitcoin awareness for easy adoption in my locality on: January 19, 2023, 03:54:57 PM
Making them aware won't be enough to persuade them on using this technology. Their accessibility, capability and preference would be the bottomline. Many people are aware of the potential of this industry as well as its advantages over fiat but why are those people still using fiat? Because it is more convenient on a daily basis; not everyone owns a crypto and even if they do, they'd have guilt on using it on a daily basis because of the potential profit it has, from holding and waiting for the market price to go up. We are simply not ready for it yet as long as the market is showing high level of volatility which could generate profit, people won't be using it as a normal currency for normal transactions.
2346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: recommendation for broker on: January 19, 2023, 03:30:07 PM
I believe you are looking for a crypto-exchange, right?
nope, OP clarified that he is looking for a "betting broker". after searching around on what it means I found out that they are a betting agent that allows a gambler to bet on offshore gambling sites anonymously.

if I remember correctly this is quite similar to the posts I've seen here in the forum where the OP of the thread offer's themselves as a middleman to place bets on gambling sites on behalf of the gambler.
Never heard the term broker in a crypto exchange but I mainly heard it when it comes to real estates and I think I also heard one before in sports betting. If this wasn't related to betting then the OP won't also post it on this section.

Apart from giving us anonymity when availing them, I know that there are other advantages too that they can provide to the bettors but there if are advantages then there must also be disadvantages and that is their trust. It's hard to trust one especially if they are a new service being posted in this section but if ever they established their names here and make their thread active then maybe a lot of us will try them.
At first I though he's referring to sportsbetting such as bookies which made me confused when OP said that it is not what he is looking for then mentioned about ben-football.  A broker in real estate field is simply the one who mediates transactions between a company and a tenant or investor. So if there's such thing in gambling, it might be the bookmakers he's trying to point out or those whoch are managing fixed betting (hopefully it is not). But still, I don't get its relevance with this industry wherein a player could simply bet on sports without the need of such specific person given that gambling sites has their own team to run the betting procedures.
2347  Economy / Gambling / Re: Nebeus: the easiest way to send money to a Crypto Casino!! on: January 19, 2023, 03:15:16 PM
If the casino I am gambling on is a crypto currency casino which means  they accept crypto deposit and withdrawals, I don't see any need or reason to want to deposit fiat directly to the casino, or even deposit my crypto to the casino from a centralized service other than crypto exchange where I trade.
Fiat is outdated, the only reason why we still have need for it is because for now, it is still the generally accepted means of payment for goods and services, most of our older forks don't understand what bitcoin is all about yet, and as such, they are still skeptical about incorporating it into their businesses, aside this , fiat is fading away, and so is every centralized monetary system and organizations fading away as well.
Also, depositing fiat to a crypto casino would cost more in transactions because of convertion unlike with direct cryptocurrency transaction wherein fees are simply lower, same with withdrawals by the way. But I doubt with being outdated, it is more focused on the present. People are still using it simply because they prefer it more over cryptocurrencies for daily transactions and we cannot blame them from doing so.We do have preferences, I guess.On my end I am using crypto by means of depositing into casinos simply to avoid additional taxes and also delays because oayments would undergo through chains.
2348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury - February 25 in Saudi Arabia on: January 19, 2023, 02:44:27 PM
Jake Paul has the edge on this one I guess. If it is true that Fury have dodged Paul a couple of times maybe confidence is lacking on his end, and that is an important thing. But since hype is there already, this would be for sure exciting to watch. But quite of an interest, I'd like to see salt papi vs jake paul for some reason. They're on heat together with KSI which I think would rain bets to whoever would be able to land a match up on these three. In terms of skills, PAPI I guess would be on advantage. But going back with this match up, Fury has the potential as well but it is just that Jake has more exposure with fights with 'tougher' opponents which could be his biggest advantage.
2349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice on choosing a crypto casino on: January 19, 2023, 02:12:11 PM
There are many to choose from mistly offering bonuses (often they are competing which one would be higher), same set of games, and other alike features. But what for me, would make a player stay is the technical support or the response of the gambling platform towarda the concerns of its players. You may seek for advantages such as those huge bonuses as they promote but not all gambling platforms would mind the existing problems on their site, worse? there will be isolated cases of non paying related issues and they won't make an action about it. Ither features to consider are speed of transactions, accessibility, and odds (matters to some players).
2350  Economy / Gambling / Re: Get $10 For play Casino (Only for USA No KYC needed) on: January 19, 2023, 01:43:10 PM
Get Sign up and we are giving $10 for play from our side.

No KYC No Scam .
Sign up Details Over Telegram - @Jaizking


Make the thread more clearer and provide necessary details about this since if many would understand what you need easily for sure they will sign up on what you are telling to them. Also put the funds on escrow since if there's no escrow involve here then might scamming issues might happen. But I also believe that this is affiliate only and you want to earn from your invites and most provably before you give that $10 they should spend first or wager.

Also putting a pm me in telegram will just make you sounds like a scammer so avoid this if you are legitimately in need and put all the details in the thread.
Definitely would be the impression by most people in this industry. If OP is not an affiliate, why would he invite people to play on their platform? more likely because of the referral bonus, unless the $10 reward is in token form of that particular site which could only be used inside but is not withdrawable.

If you are not an affiliate and you are doing this for the sake of bonuses through referral, we would have no problem with that just say so. Referral bonus in the first place would be given to both invitee and inviter. 'coz if you will hide hidden motives you are just putting other players at risk if that particular site would turn out to be a scam. Please don't be like that.
2351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Vs Cardano on: January 18, 2023, 10:40:36 PM
Better in terms of what? If as an investment I think Ethereum would be more of a better candidate but if it is with fees (not sure tho') I think Cardano would be be one since it has a lower market value. Ethereum on the other hand is a huge network already from being used to most of the projects and transactions in this industry which makes it capable to withstand every downfall with the market prices and be able to recover afterwards. It has proven "itself" for years as being the next to Bitcoin, thus, this would be a mismatch to compare. Cardano is really promising but that won't make it a better cryptocurrency than ethereum. But these two are really a good investment.
2352  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Start of a Bull Season on Bitcoin? Or a Trap? on: January 18, 2023, 09:54:33 PM
More of a trap I guess. It is too early to assume a bullish season given that not all coins had an increase with the recent pump, opposite of what happens during an actual bull trend. So for now, it would be better to be careful of being caught by it. Investing would be a good idea and so is waiting for a more clear trend line. The actual increase, I believe, is more anticipated next year but that is not to exclude this year. The only point is to not hope that much just because the market was from a bad situation and it is just now wherein it is having signs of recovery. Would be a long way to go I guess before this market fully recover. But ofcourse if it would as this early, then that would be better.
2353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest dramas (noise, FUD) of 2022 in Bitcoin on: January 18, 2023, 09:28:59 PM
FUDs will never be removed from a demand based project because there are investors who gain profit from it more of "reverse psychology" wherein big investors will spread FUD and take advantage of the situation they have created. Unfortunately, new ones and small investors suffer the most from such ideology because they are the ones being easily fooled.
You've already listed the biggest drama of 2022 but that might not be all, I can't say about others but what's presently happening around Gemini and genesis is even scarier, I hope the Winklevoss brothers solve this behind the scene instead of taking the same route like CZ did, or else there will be FTX part 2.

The important thing to note is despite all this drama, bitcoin did not become dead and it survived this phase. If we analysis, this is a bullish news for the bitcoin in long run.
This is already an example of FUD. The increase recently with the market prices is a good thing indeed but never assume that it would already be continuous given that there are no concrete reason for the market to sustain the increase for the whole year. Spikes would normally occur due to various reasons but if the condition in general is not good, spikes won't be consistent.
2354  Economy / Economics / Re: The Growth of cryptocurrency over foreign currency. on: January 18, 2023, 03:17:22 PM
Apologies but this sounds delusional. Over foreign currency? Never, i guess. If this technology will be emphasized the least thing to happen is co-existence between cryptocurrencies and digital fiat. This industry indeed has  continuous nd progressive groth over the past years. But I guess such thing as a price increse would be an enough reason for governments to trust this industry in an instant if they won't even be able to track every transaction. Plus with the risk that would be exposed of, for norml citizens. It is either people are still not ready for total adoption or individuals won't be ready even in the future because of differences with every perspective bout this technology.
2355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin helps the economy of all circles on: January 18, 2023, 02:54:37 PM
...
what do you think about bitcoin have you ever been helped economically by bitcoin.?

Investing in bitcoin is not the main purpose of bitcoin and when we talk about economy we should understand that nowadays's economy model is based on an inflation and bitcoin is a deflationary asset. So integrating bitcoin into economy makes changing economy basing on a new status quo. It is not an easy process and we'll see how many things will change in the future and impact of investing in bitcoin will be not the biggest in entire economy.
Helps an individual who won from trading or investing but with the economy I doubt  Bitcoin is not even widely accepted by consumers. Also, this is somehow blurry. This crypto industry generates profit for the investors due to its market price volatility. But since that is volatility we were talking about, imagine how big the loss could be if your assets are store into it. The idea is already there but if this would be a decision from government leader, that would be one sided.  Because there is a higher tendency for them ( as evident with the present( to restrict its usage if taxation will be off with their hands despite of years or  decade of progress.
2356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Poll: What percent of your portfolio is stored in Bitcoin/Crypto on: January 18, 2023, 02:31:10 PM
Right now, only 20% I guess unlike before wherein most of my assets are into Bitcoin. One reason of diversifying is the rate of increase. The rate of increase on smaller tokens are higher although more risky. But things could be lessen by right technical analysis so fortunately, things work fine for me. But before this year end, I might be accumulating more for Bitcoin because of the anticipated halving for next year. It is just that I want to take more advantage of the price volatility of other cryptocurrencies; more of maximizing the opportunity to earn more. But if you prefer to not worry that much by monitoring the price, engage with long term investments in huge names of this industry.
2357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Online Gaming Competition for Gamblers on: January 18, 2023, 02:02:55 PM

But as it currently, the interest on both
-Decentralized games
-Wax blockchain
-The game itself
are all very low, so this explains why it looks as if the team behind the game arent or werent ready for the business.


Its because this is a gambling site and what OP is showing us is some sort of game that we are not familiar with, and this is something new even gamers will have to take some time to fully grasp the concept and how it works, we are accustomed seeing casino games and features on this section its better to move this topic on section frequented by gamers like the service section of the altcoin because this is not even a Bitcoin-based platform.
Am not sure if they are going to earn support from Bitcointalk because the team itself seems not willing to get us closer , the games they are providing isn't common and yes there are new games that gets our interests but at least from legit sites and not those new .
like you , i am not even familiar with this so yes lets not be fall from the traps inside and learn deeper before engaging.
_____________

But Welcome to the forum still .
There is definitely a better way to promote projects. Especially in this industry wherein many people are aware of the possible negative outcomes of engaging to new projects and platforms. The concept is already there, they just have to actualize things in a way that the though would be more organized. A player to player betting has been mentioned for quite a while but only a few are making it really possible. So in order to rise with the existing, this gambling platform should have an edge nd atleast that would be with the process of accumulating investors first. In order to do that, presenting in a more credible manner would be really a help other than just presenting something 'new'.
2358  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: January 18, 2023, 01:35:11 PM
Problem is we tend to forget the meaning of a "gamble". No matter how huge our chance is, if luck would play on both ends, anticipated outcomes or tables may still be turned. Playing safely would help players to avoid such things. But to somehow see the player's end, I guess such thing is not new to him; it seems that he's used to such situations of betting huge amount. So we may assume he also won big time before. It would be more unfortunate if he bet all that he has and turned into a huge loss. Think of how huge jackpot became a huge learned lesson. So to those who are planning to do the same thing, please know your limits as a player. Always use an amount you can afford to lose because anything could happen even the impossible, in gambling industry.
2359  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Influencers, affiliate links and scams on: January 17, 2023, 11:00:48 PM
I agree with this. If you are talking about someone from inside, like literally they became part of it, then it could change in that case. If they are not inside, and they are not aware then they could get paid and promote something, it has happened a million times before and its not a problem at all. However, if we are talking about someone that ever gets shares, like becomes a partner with it, even if just getting token payments, then the trouble is they have to vet the company enough to know if they are legit or scam. You can just promote, but if you become part of it, you have bigger responsibility.
That is simply how influence works. For sure they are aware of it and they are just doing it to earn money from promoting those projects by disregarding the risk the are exposing to their audiences. If you would observe, they'd be deleting contents of such project once scam is already obvious, like they never did they part to promote it. That's just how money works for them. It is guilt which would be their problem afterwards but most of them are simply used to it, and will continue such scheme project after project. This also the reason why people should stop relying that much from influencers simply because they are doing their job. We, as investors, would be the one incharge still, with our funds.
2360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My soccer betting experiment in almost a week. on: January 17, 2023, 09:55:37 PM

Should I continue here where my balance only grows or get back to slot machines?One thing is sure,these winnings here has grayed out a lot my love for slots.
Well it is a good thing that you are seeking alternatives on the game you are playing often simply because you won't win in a consistent manner to any kind of gambling you engage yourself with as long as it is gambling. I am also into sportsbetting but I was doing dice games before. The thing I liked about sportsbetting is somehow allowing the players to minimize the tendency of losing through analyzing the teams I am interested with; past matches, players'performance and such. To answer the question whether you should go back to slots, that is really on you as @Oshosondy have said. One's preference is the answer. We are all aiming to win in this industry so choose what would push you near that purpose. You may also alternate from the two categories if you enjoy both.
