DCA if you're having a hard time deciding on how to invest or if you can't invest fully to the market. It's a rather great option, especially if you're new and you don't want to miss out on the trend, granted that it probably has lower profits from day traders, at the very least, it has a higher chance of making you profit without making that much of a loss. Since you're looking at the long term, I don't think it'd matter much if you entered now or later imo. Just try to spread your portfolio later on in the game.
2482  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Breaks Past The $40,000 Barrier Again? on: March 23, 2022, 11:15:56 AM
It was already stabilizing imo after it went back up from the dip that was around the $30k levels or so from its peak. I considered it as akin to building a new foundation after that new ath, after all, the market moved way too fast imo for the past year climbing up to borderline $70k levels at the start of 2021, then the same cycle with the new ath on November. When there's ups, there's also downs, so it wasn't really unexpected that we're met with a steady level right now.
2483  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips and tricks for day trading on: March 23, 2022, 05:21:43 AM
I used to use tradingview way back then when I was trying out day trading. I never really had any solid strategy whatsoever, I just tried reading the market thinking what I think would happen, mostly based on the sentiments of the news and whatnot. Basically only my personal opinion, then doing trades based on that. The simple strategy of buy low sell high, nothing complicated. Probably why I never really enjoyed it, nor did I actually profit much out of it. If one day you grow tired of doing day trading, try out DCA, more carefree, but less profits possible. 
2484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Largest Slots Win in Washington State History on: March 22, 2022, 11:35:27 AM
Man, that's twice the last record, congrats to him! I'm rather curious as to how long he's been gambling or if he has an estimate of how much money he's spent on gambling already. Also based on the article it seems like his past biggest win was around $20,000? Compared to his current win that amount looks so damn small.

No, I will not dare to play $5/spin in a slot, even if there are 400k max-win, because before I get that max-win, I will screw myself and lose so much money. Besides that, we do not know when the max-win will come and that is why we need to keep playing until the max-win comes. Besides, my bet for every spin is less than $1, so that $5 will be too big for me Grin
This. Maybe I'd play every now and then but I definitely would not try to even dare to win, especially in a 400k max-win. Maybe if I get a girlfriend who tells me to play slots Cool .
2485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Happens to One's Bitcoin if Death Occurs? on: March 22, 2022, 04:39:02 AM
Yes, doing so the owner can easily divide the holdings between number of people who he wish to give. Even without accessing the wallet it is possible to know the holdings within the wallet. Inherits can view the holdings, divide it between them and use the private key for transaction purpose. This is simple and it is also easier way to safeguard the private key, being short none thinks it as private key.
But, let's just say, for instance, one of the key holders was to be met with an accident, won't the key be permanently lost then? Maybe create a method where the key would be given completely when one of the two (or more) holders were to die? Or is there a better way to circumvent that? In that case wouldn't it be better to let a third party manage an encoded key, and leave maybe a program that could decode the key to the owners. When the time comes, the third party would split the code to how many people there are so that even if one (or more) are gone, they'd still get the full key to access the wallet.
2486  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Malaysian Ministry proposes cryptocurrencies as legal tender? on: March 22, 2022, 01:51:50 AM
it's just the start, though I honestly think we'd see more updates with this until at least a year or two. It seems like it was only talked about as an answer to a question, a passing thought so to say imo. There's probably still going to be a lot of talks and stuff that they would need to do before deciding anything else. Still, I think it should develop rather positively, I don't think putting it out as a legal tender would bring any actual negatives whatsoever to them.
2487  Economy / Economics / Re: Impact of a US Digital Dollar on Crypto? on: March 21, 2022, 10:45:23 AM
I don't think it's going to make any difference at all tbh, maybe set up global payments or something to make it easier and some other niche qol improvements, but that's about it. Its core idea isn't really any different from fiat, so it shouldn't be a threat to crypto. Heck, it even actually improves the tracing of what and where funds go (that uses it), so basically the government is improving it's ways to track how our money is spent and where it actually goes.

It's just fiat put into a computer, not much is gonna changer.
2488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donating With Bitcoin on: March 21, 2022, 08:08:35 AM
Feel free. Donating is something that's done willingly anyway, so tbf, even if you do open up an address for donations, if people aren't given enough ways to trust that said donation would go to whatever you're saying it would go then no one would really donate. Maybe you can use it for local people in your area or your social circle, but outside of that, you're probably gonna need to provide more proof. Though before all that, people need to be willing to do so in the first place.
2489  Economy / Speculation / Re: Expect Bullrun this year again! on: March 21, 2022, 03:28:57 AM
Pretty old tweet, It wasn't really out of place back then I think so I don't think it should even be used as a basis. Not to mention that if we really are repeating history, then shouldn't it be a rather steady movement instead? 2 years after 2016 halving the graph was pretty flat. Pretty sure we've had enough of that bullish sentiment (which I also believed tbf). Plus, the increment of increase of Bitcoin is slowly getting lower and lower with each peak, unlike back then. I wouldn't expect us to reach $300-400k levels, this or next year. $100k isn't completely out of the reach though.
2490  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Sites on: March 20, 2022, 11:51:01 PM
Might've been an ISP issue or something? Check if your ISP allows gambling in the first place or whether it has banned visits for sites like Gamdom. Or maybe your country is the one restricted itself? Idrk the restrictions for using Gamdom. You can go try out stake, roobet, and rollbit. I've personally tried the last two and I don't really have any problems with them, the first one is a pretty well known site and I've also used in way back then (not anymore though).
2491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to Educate Dentists To follow Crypto payment methods? on: March 20, 2022, 11:24:16 AM
I don't think Bitcoin payments would become a "mandatory" thing. It's an option sure, but businesses that don't really want to implement it can not do it, fiat is still there and would still be used for a long time imo. As for teaching, well, you... idk, teach them..? I don't think there's a specific method you need to use to teach people crypto stuff, it's literally just you telling them stuff and them remembering it. That is ofc, if you already know what you're talking about yourself.
2492  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Occupational hazards of trading crypto on: March 19, 2022, 04:44:28 PM
Does losing money count? Cause tbf, all the psychological stress and whatnot that comes with trading is mainly due to the fact that we're mostly going to lose money in every venture of trade that we do. From that well it spirals down to mental health damage, stress, depression, etc., basically anything negative that could hit your emotions, not to mention that it also hits your wallet pretty hard. There's also the fact that ignorant people entering trading would get hurt more (granted it's their fault for entering without knowing anything) and would probably lose a lot more than the regular trader.
2493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your opinions about simulated reality games? on: March 19, 2022, 02:38:54 PM
I think they're just data but shown in an easy-to-understand method aka making a sample game itself? It's like a block of words converted into one simple image so that it's much easier to understand. From what I know it is derived from data of past matches of each team/player, so it's basically deriving from past matches kind of thing, the usual stuff that most people base on when trying to bet on a team. It's probably a better method to understand? But it wouldn't specifically be more accurate than a normal person studying the analytics of a team.
2494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Happens to One's Bitcoin if Death Occurs? on: March 19, 2022, 12:13:25 PM
Wait a minute, so the wallet your friend was using was a custodial wallet? Since I'm assuming requiring the "email and password" would only lead to that. And why are we even mentioning passwords, private keys are what is needed to actually access the wallet no? I've personally kept a small drive that contains what my family needs to access my accounts whenever I die, it's kept pretty securely imo and I don't use that storage anymore, solely for storing my keys to prevent any malware from accessing it.

I'd honestly much rather avoid letting someone access my wallet while I'm still alive, I'd prefer them to wait after I die instead. It's just a matter of teaching them what to do imo.
2495  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US Recovers And Returns Over $500,000 In Bitcoin Stolen From A Coinbase User on: March 19, 2022, 10:52:59 AM
I believe that if you had carefully read the brief article you link to, you would have had a clear idea and you would not ask that question.

As I understand it, the money never left Coinbase. Coinbase identified that transaction as suspicious, blocked it, and alerted the FBI, who would then confirm that it was fraud. The article doesn't say it exactly like that, but that's how I understand it.
What he said, coinbase was able to detect that the amount transferred from what I understood as a new account was too big that they flagged the account for inspection which revealed that it was a scam. It's basically the power of centralized exchanges, which is why "not your keys, not your coins" hold true to this, but well I guess that helped in saving the user from losing their funds completely. In this case the user was probably a newbie to crypto or only had minimal knowledge, which resulted in the scam.
2496  Economy / Gambling / Re: Wheres the P2P open sourced Texas Hold'em at? on: March 19, 2022, 07:20:36 AM
I don't think codes just go MIA all of a sudden..? Pretty sure you either lost it, or you lost it. It's either starting from the ground up or looking for someone to create it for you.  There's also the option of looking around in GitHub for free repos you can possibly use as the foundation (or just use it as it is, which I don't recommend) for the current one you're trying to develop right now. If you're not a coder though then I highly suggest looking for a partner that knows how, or at least some semblance of knowledge with regards to backend development so they can study the code that you plan to use.
2497  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Scams now the second largest in the world on: March 19, 2022, 06:11:12 AM
Well, I don't really find it that hard to believe. It's actually something natural considering the fact that there's a lot of new stuff that's being introduced, as well as compared to the past, dissemination of information is way easier now so a lot more people are informed and are attracted to investing, which also includes a lot of young people that have a bit of money and want to try their hand on investing stuff. Most of it is, just like what mk4 said, is about the ignorance and stupidity (mostly ignorance) of people when investing. Just like how it is easy to find info on something to invest, it also escapes their mind to actually do proper research at times.
2498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your favorite casino reviewer here in Bitcointalk? on: March 19, 2022, 03:48:45 AM
BTCGOSU. It's been my go-to review site ever since I found it, I've scoured through a few review sites back then but they were too dubious sometimes so I didn't really have it to trust them. BTCGOSU was originally one of them, but I managed to try and test their reviews from my first initial casinos which ended up being true, so it just kinda ended up with me using it all the time. I also love how it's a complete kind of review for the most part that I wouldn't really need to judge it on my own most of the time.
2499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should Casinos invest on endorsement from celebrities on: March 19, 2022, 01:42:16 AM
It depends on what the casino wants imo, it's not a matter of whether they should do it or not. Investing on celebrities is a completely optional thing, it doesn't really guarantee that they'd profit off of it even if they did, not to mention that in the perspective of most people (emphasis on most), being connected to gambling (when they weren't originally or well, known for being one) is a bad reputation. Drake was a well-known gambler beforehand so it isn't really a hit on his reputation, it's a win-win for stake and him.
2500  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in METAVERSE on: March 18, 2022, 03:16:38 PM
I've said that before and I will say it again.
Virtual reality cannot replace actual reality.
First we might get Metaverse gaming and gambling.What's next?Metaverse hookers,so all the incels could experience something close to having an actual girlfriend and getting laid?
I don't understand the people,who are saying that metaverse gambling sounds cool and get excited about it.
What's the point of sitting in casino,which is located in a virtual reality?You are still sitting in front of your computer(or perhaps using VR glasses,or whatever you call this tool).
It seems to me that this Metaverse thing sounds like the new favorite toy of some dysfunctional,antisocial,virgin,incel nerd,who lives in his parent's basement and dreams about having a real life. 
They missed out on the development of games that can be called "metaverse" (minecraft) and are now trying to push it as something new now since they want to be the first ones to actually "develop" it. It's basically empty hype by ignorant people that fail to acknowledge that their ideas have long been made into reality and that even if their own vision of metaverse were to be made, it isn't anything good or actually exciting in the first place. Leave the VR stuff to games or activities that we can't exactly experience irl, and those that you can, well, the real world exists, go outside and touch some grass.
