as we are different that is how our mentalities and the thinkings are different also many people have different understanding in gambling and some people have their own way of understanding gambling so such is life and it is something that we think on our own, so whoever that says that the gambling is basically for entertainment or it is a place they want to lose their money I think about that person is telling fallacy because they objective or the aim of anyone who is in gambling is to make money through gambling by winning any stake he or her placed in gambling

tdiggles is really obsessed to win the auction.

He looks like an OG and value his privacy, so he might be a honest bidder.

While the another person Tristan Lamonica who work on Parliament of Canada. There's a chance he know Christian Langalis personally because he live in neighbor country.

Repurposed credit cards, acrylic and bitcoin node on used bank deposit box

28 cm x 54 cm (11 in x 21.5 in)

This piece was created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Hal Finney's involvement in Bitcoin.
Repurposed credit cards sit atop a used bank deposit box.  Inside, a customized node allows one to "run bitcoin."   This WiFi-enabled node is adhered to only run when paired w/ the art.  Embedded within the work is Hal’s signed credit card given to me by his wife Fran.

Bitcoin is just one of those things in life that involve a lot of sensitive information that needs to be kept from the constant presence of adversaries.

The whole concept of bitcoin itself is built on the foundation of cryptography. A and B talking, with C knowing fuck-all.

What would you say is the most safe tool to use if I want to communicate sensitive information to someone with my voice?

This thread can also serve as discussion for best practices when verbally communicating bitcoin.

I really don't believe that there's someone out there who's just too good with predictions that they'll be able to predict the outcome of a game with a 100% success. Yeah I believe there are people who are pretty good with predictions but they're nowhere near perfection in it because they'll surely get some predictions wrong, maybe out of 10 predictions, they may be able to get up to 6, 7 or even 8 predictions but always getting all 10 is absolutely impossible.

And placing all your hopes and trust on these experts could often lead to poor decision making and risk management, which could result to a great deal of loss. So while depending on these experts, there's every need to apply caution and proceed with extreme carefulness.

Guys, what's your opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo at this moment?  

Actually, I don't think he should be so serious about his career anymore, the way he is trying to be. It still definitely looks like he wants to play the next World Cup and also he actually believes he will be able to win the next World Cup with Portugal. and the way he has been behaving in the field recently, it has not been very good. He could do those things and get away with them when he was in form and in his prime.

Well, I guess people could say that he is still in form. but being in form in Real Madrid or Juventus is very different from being in form in the Saudi league. It is really sad to see a player literally becoming the villain like this. But he should also understand that if he reacts to these things, people will do these things more and more.

But, it's an arcade game or at least that's how it has been in the legal terms which is why everyone is allowed to play using claw machines especially kids.

We can say the claw machine is rigged and all but still it needs skill to press down the button at the right second to get the rewards. Moreover it's not addictive that we correlated with the term gambling.

I agree that if someone approach gambling to make money they have higher probability of getting addicted than someone who approaches it for fun
it's not given, because there's a lot of variability from human to human
but probably.

One interesting thing to think about is how casinos could make their games and engines less addicting though it goes completely against their interests.

Yeah, but for those who bet on a single bet, it will be better to watch the match so we can see what happens on the field before deciding whether to bet again or not.
Actually, this also applies to anyone who only bet on parlays, when you see one of the match will be lose - you have a chance to turn things around by placing a single bet on that match, because you watch the game and might able to predict the outcome.

I personally don’t like watching games i bet on and just like you i also find it very stressful, i don’t have the courage to watch them or even follow them up on livescore app until the end of the game to check how the match ended up. I find  very disturbing for me, at some point i prefer to place multiple bets and not bother about how the matches are going and only come to check them out after the end of the game.

Well it depends on wether at that time i gamble for fun or probably for funds. Most times i gamble for fun but it doesn’t matter for me because even while gambling for fun i find it difficult to watch any game i gamble on.

that's correct
people with more money can afford to take more risks
but the greater too if they end up losing it all or something like that

it's important to be alert and avoid taking decisions out of emotions... going slow is good

On the time that you do make yourself getting addicted then this is the moment you would really be having that kind of tough challenge on making yourself that getting out of addiction.
If it was easy in the first place then this is something that anyone could easily do it and gambling business could be not profitable in compared on what are we are seeing now which is really that entirely different. Gambling is really just that for fun, it is really just that there are people who are really that delusional or someone who do really wishing up on something we know that it cant really be that possible because gambling is all matter with luck and not something that you could really be able to make yourself that getting rich because it would really just that matter on how lucky you are
on a particular condition or moment.

Wow. I actually remember the day that this happened. And if I recall correctly, if you followed his advice and bought bitcoin on that day, I think it was the last time bitcoin was at that price.

He became an icon after this event. He might of lost his position because of this stunt, according to a few press interviews he did shortly after. I find it crazy that he held on to that piece of paper for so long. I assumed it would of faded in color by now. Those types of notebooks dont hold up very well for long periods of time .

But I agree with the above poster, it was in the notebook and then he tore it out, and now its in the notebook again? Doesn't make sense.

I think signs like this are best places at museums. I tried to google crypto museums and Bitcoin museums and couldn't unfortunately find any that are offline, so maybe it's something for the future. But there are museums of money, and it's about time for them to have something Bitcoin-related because Bitcoin is a part of the history of money.
The sign doesn't have bids yet, but the auction hasn't started. I wonder how much it'll cost the winner.

When Bitcoiners ask me about the sign, I tell them, “You’d have done the same in my seat.” Yes, only I attended the hearing, drew the sign, and flashed it for the camera. However, it was the network spirit which seized the image and fabricated the memes. The full poetry of the stunt was far beyond my devising, therefore, my attitude can only be one of post-authorship. Bitcoin was massively rupturing into the halls of institutional finance in 2017. Any Bitcoiner worth their sats would have told you so. It’s good to finally liberate this number from my sock drawer and offer it back to the Bitcoin public. The message was subversive then, but now merely obvious: Bitcoin is flowing. Control is dead.

I have gone through the topic and havent found any link that will lead to a proof that someone tried and tested AI for gambling. If AI would really help with making predictions, there would be examples of its usage, gambling community would have a hot discussions about it. Right now people seems to be either cautions to use it, or afraid to risk money and test. All I see that main argument is AI "might" make some affect, but nobody is sure about it. I would remind everyone once again - there is no magic "win" button, nor magic strategy to win always.

For many people, it was a discovery that emotions are important when watching a match, not just pleasure. Emotions can be anything: negative or positive, the main thing is that they are there. If the game leaves you indifferent, that's bad. When a game gives you negative emotions, it's unpleasant, but that's life. Life cannot consist only of positive experiences. Negative emotions give us a variety of experiences and always teach us something. Smart people and wise players are those who have experienced not only positive emotions, but also many negative ones. These negative emotions taught them a lot.

For me it's only helpful to have a background on such teams or players that is new to me. I do my initial research with them. But for most, I don't do my whole bet decision base only to the fact or prediction that they've presented to the public. I don't want to put all my hope to any analyst in the league. It's my money I'm betting so I always make sure that it is my decision. So I just use it correlate with my own predictions. And that's a very good point, only bet on games that you know and you enjoy. Or else, study the game.
