2481  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Recommend me altcoin to DCA till halving on: April 16, 2023, 03:32:53 PM
Hot ones are XRP and DOGE. XRP is quite noisy recently because on the emphasis on its issue against the SEC, if it happen to win the case then we could expect a huge leap on its market value but if not ofcourse the other way around will occur, problem is not knowing when will the issue be finished. DOGE on the other hand is also becoming noisy because of its increase on the past few days which made the idealization on its value again, alive. Now is believed to be the start of Altcoin season and  popular ones in this market could lead the uptrend for alts, more than the low cap ones. Just be sure to not enter too early and wait for accurate neckline of the charts. If it is DCA, I'd still not suggest futures trading but dpot trading would be better especially if you are into long holding period.

Quite had a good run for sure. The market value of Bitcoin again showed a massive increase after being down for more than a year. Many people for sure made profit given that it only took 3 months from $15k to reach $30k. But the samme reason could be a warning. There is a huge and long over bought on Bitcoin's chart which could be a sign that a correction may take place to give way for altcoin season which is believed to start this year as well. Bitcoin's market price is expected to again break its ATH next year if not this year, due to the anticipated bitcoin halving. Things won't go smoothly so expect for things to not be consistent on its way, in terms of its market value. You may take profit and wait for the correction but ofcourse you could also just hold through ups and downs; depends on your preference.

To obtain sufficient financing, the rule is simple, reduce your expenses to a minimum and obtain a positive income that covers those expenses, and therefore you must, at an early age (for example, from 10 years), start achieving these leaders, which is that you have a positive income equal to your expenses at least so that your job is achieved You luxury and increase your positive income.

As for positive income, it is any income that does not require your personal presence, such as real estate or land rent, shares, intellectual property returns, and other income.

Reducing your spending is the essence of the crisis, and it is something that will not happen as you get older and your responsibilities increase, especially if you decide to get married and have children.
Is it the same with passive income? 'coz that is how I view it; earning profit without consuming most of your time or not being active as the word suggests. But I do agree with this, some people just happened to misinterpret finances. If you cannot fill the part of having huge salary then atleast do something to reduce your expenses. I view this as earning $20 bucks per day and spending only $5 versus earning $50 but spending $45. But ofcourse if you have both high income and low expenses that would be better problem only is that, not all people have that kind of privilege or opportunity. Engaging with investments on the other hand will be a huge leap but things won't be easy and simple for sure. Not all people 'win' in a  particular way, you just have to find what would lead you to such path.
2484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 10k investment on: April 15, 2023, 02:19:51 PM
Hi,

I’m looking to invest 10k, I’m trying to decide if to go with XRP or ADA.

In terms of holding I can do it for 1-3 years no real time limit. Not sure what returns I might get short term vs long term. ADA for example i might get 3 to 4 x return, however with XRP that might be a lot more should they win the court case.

My slight worry is what happens if XRP lose.

P
XRP would be a good choice but there will always be risk; it is against the sec and if ever this crypto would lose the case, you know what's next but for now you could ride the hype. Also, it is believed that altcoin season has already began; bitcoin dominance and eth overtaking the uptrend are the believed indicators of this. Whether it is true or not, manage the risk. I would suggest diversification of your funds to avoidlosing big time; atleast your other buckets will compensate for your possible loss. MKR I think is also a good one as its chart shows; slowly. ETH and Bitcoin are good options as well if it is less risk you are seeking and not bigger return.
2485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can owning 1 Bitcoin make you rich in 2023? on: April 15, 2023, 12:44:50 PM
Owning one would simply give you profit no matter what year it is, if it is possibility as the bottomline. Bitcoin has a limited supply and if demand would continue to increase, same thing would happen on its market value, meaning, profit. Making you rich? Depends on you view 'coz profit will be only limited to the market price of Bitcoin in this case, and if you think you could buy anything you would want to in such price as well, then you're good as rich (we have different viewpoint in the first place; some would go with luxury things to determine wealth, but some are just okay with the "minimum"). No one knows in the first place how much its value could reach, sky's the limit.
2486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Need your opinion on the casino project ( gambling ) on: April 13, 2023, 11:51:24 PM
Greetings! My name is Max Hoffman

I am interested in the https://bithound.io/de/casino/national-casino/ and would like more information about it. I wonder how reliable and safe this online casino site is. Are there any independent reviews or verifications that confirm its legitimacy? I would also like to know what types of cryptocurrencies are accepted and what fees or commissions are charged for deposits and withdrawals.

In addition, I would like to know if there are any specific restrictions or limitations for players from certain countries and what types of games are available on the platform. Are the games fair and transparent? Is there an RNG test that guarantees the randomness of the game results?

And finally, is it safe to play at this online casino site? Is my personal information and cryptocurrencies safe and secure? Would you recommend playing on this platform or are there other crypto casino websites that are safer or more reliable?

Thank you in advance for your help and information.

Kind regards.
Never heard of this gambling site but to answer some of your questions; Restrictions exist in some countries with gambling itself based on the countries' regulation and prohibition rules. With regards to the games being offered, most are traditional games such as card games, dice, slots, and the likes other variation are sportsbetting. With regards to fairness and transparancy it solely depend on the platform whether they would be or not but mostly are not and those who does so are ones which are registered or licensed. There are many gambling sites which you can engage yourself with. A tip of advice are those which has a good reputation in this industry or those whoch are popular. To check legitimacy of a playform, try checking if they are licensed or not. Survey such as this topic qould also help but will only limited to those who are familiar with the gambling site you are checking with.
2487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout money on: April 13, 2023, 11:01:49 PM
hello is it possible to cashout money  without being the owner  without having documents to proof you are the owner  and when the account is frozen?

only thing i have is that payment method that was used  was mine and the cashout would go towards that account


As long as you have the access to the account and as long as that gambling site does not require KYC, you'd be good to withdraw your funds on that particular account. This is also why I consider the pro of KYC; to avoid easily withdrawing my funds from the account. We'll never know; online platforms are prone with viruses and devices with malwares if you won't be that secured always. So atleast, you'd have the assurance that you will be the only one to use your funds at a time you would want to. If it is regarding frozen account, then that would be another thing. You'd appear suspiscious on the viewpoint of the gambling site. This should be discussed on their support to check if there would be way to do so.
2488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul Vs Nate Diaz boxing Aug 5th on Dazn PPV on: April 13, 2023, 04:15:13 PM
Yeah just heard recently about this match. Is it exciting? Still a yes because these are two known- fighters on different sports and fields of interest. Who's on advantage? I think it would be still paul. His experience on alonger length of fight would be his biggest advantage over natr who only fought for few rounds in the octagon; we 've seen such thing happened for a couple of times when to fighters came from different comfort zones. Ofcourse if it is power and agressiveness then that would be with nate but that is not something to determine fights in boxing which requires a fighter to move more and do more. A mcgregor vs mayweather scene? Outcome possible but performance? I doubt.
2489  Economy / Gambling / Re: Information of Crypto Casinos License and KYC requirements on: April 13, 2023, 03:35:42 PM
Almost every casino here has a gaming license in Curacao or data processing license in Costa Rica. These licenses don't mean anything since anyone here without a criminal record can get a license in Curacao for under $20k USD within 6 weeks and less in Costa Rica.

The only reason the casinos ask for KYC is a way of not paying.
In Curacao all the casinos work under a sub-license under one of the four master licenses. In the UK and US, licensing is strict. It's not that way for bitcoin casinos.
That sounds like a conspiracy theory and only applies to scamming casinos. Real reason with legit casinos is that they are complying with AML laws. They are checking every account they are suspecting og faul play and are required by law to freeze their accounts and contact officials.

And if they want to handle fiat money in the future and be operational it would be foolish from them not to complain with AML laws, because why would they risk their existence and wouldn't do that?

License, as I understand, is more to do with law requirements, than with behavior of the licensed casino. Gambling is either banned or toughly restricted in most of the world, so it's really a trouble for such business owners to legalise the income from this, so that the little amount of places whose authorities are allowed to license casinos are in a huge favour of casino owners. So control functions of licensing authorities are a bit limited under such circumstances.

The authorities and everything that has to do with it will never support the casinos, because they do not receive money, everything is for the house and for the owner, the way they can control and receive some money is by demanding licenses and data to be able to start pressing, I think that things that are games of chance, sports betting are considered bad by many, and not as a Style of entertainment,everyone blames the casinos for addictions, but the culprits are not the casinos, They are the same people who do not control themselves.

Actually there are instances authorities or state is supporting gambling activities; lotteries and horse racing are to name a few. What makes them legal in countries gambling is prohibited, is simply taxation. In my country, lottery operators are under government by means of registration. In such way, casinos or gambling platforms are being considered. But in this industry wherein transactions occur in chains and with anonymity,  it would be hard to imply such system. It is not the blame which makes the legalization a big deal but the social norm in accordance with the bible and also the manner of taxation given how it contributes to a country's economy. Therefore, there's an excemption in some cases.
2490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 13, 2023, 02:53:59 PM
Not only in slot but to all gambling activities. Risk of losing is simply making gambling, "gambling". To gamble one's fate. Ofcourse everyone have experienced losing to slots especially those who have been doing so for a long period of time. And a key reminder is that, those who became rich out of gambling in any particular game, they experienced and suffered from losses before fate comes on their side. But this is not to encourage people to go all out until their luck come on their way because it does depend on your capacity as a player and as an individual. Always manage the risk in a way that you won't struggle if you will be losing that money you are engaging with, towards this industry.
2491  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: April 12, 2023, 10:47:51 PM

I think I read it here or on reddit somewhere and I talked about it before. I believe that money is like a key and life is filled with doors, the more money you have, the more doors you can open and if you don't have money then you do not have that many doors and you would live a limited life, if you have a lot then you can open all the doors and can decide how you want to live.

My life is very limited because of money, I need at least another 10-20 thousand dollars to just cover the "dreams" that I have which is very small, like see another nation, get another thing for my house and so forth, but considering the situation we are in, I would say that it is not going to happen, and I started to learn to live with that.
I think that we can find opportunities to achieve what we want when we begin to believe that it is possible. If you believe that you cannot achieve something, then it will become truth for you. I understand that everyone's situations are different and sometimes it seems that changing something is very difficult, but I also believe that in any situation we can find opportunities if we want something very badly. Not everything will work out right away, but we need to take one step at a time, we overestimate our capabilities in the short term and underestimate what we are capable of in the long run.
Believe on something and you'd achieve it eventually. But to think on a more practical way, money is really necessary. Let's day you want to start a business, then a capital must come first. You are hired in a good company, you need money to sustain you with your first month and not to mention your application period and other necessities.Taking one step at a time is indeed right but in every step, unfortunately, money plays a key role nowadays; just think of how expensive living is, today. No matter how we want to set aside monetary factors, it is just the present situation which would tangle money with our lives. This is how powerful these pieces of paper are. If you have the privilege to not stress out about it then that is better but we cannot bend the fact that not all people have that kind of state.
2492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: we don't have proper education on bitcoin. on: April 12, 2023, 10:04:53 PM
Ofcourse there won't be simply because there are no professionals specified in this industry. All people are learners from this technology which is still under development. There are books and articles to be read but those are just historical details and nothing more. I am hearing and seeing news that Bitcoin is being taught as a course to some countries which for me is quite not clear given that acceptance of this technology is not even yet resolved. It is okay to share your knowledge about it. It is fine to know that students are curious about this industry. But isn't it too far to make it an academic course? If it is just a pop up topic or subject, that would be easily considered.
2493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto casino sports betting for gamblers at local bookmakers. on: April 12, 2023, 03:28:00 PM
I will share a little of my experience when I invite some friends who like to bet at local bookies.

A few months ago about 4 of my friends came to my local town house to bet on a football game and after a while they were arrested by law enforcement in my country because I live in a country where gambling is strictly prohibited and there are laws in it. They were all jailed for several days and had to pay fines to be released from prosecution.

Here I feel sorry for them if they have to deal with the law again so I teach and give them an understanding of crypto casino, after understanding I suggest using crypto casino which I believe they can use as well so they can bet on every sporting event freely and without having to afraid to face the law again.

And what concerns me is that one of them actually becomes a gambling addict in a crypto casino. It was a pity that he had lost his senses and forgot about his responsibilities as the head of the family to the point where he was more concerned with money at stake.
From that incident I felt very guilty for inviting him to bet at a crypto casino until he became an addict.

I want to ask for advice and input from members here, what should I do to deal with this friend of mine and how should I react to it because he became a crazy gambler because of my invitation.
This should be a lesson. Not because you do want to help, you'd already provide the help; think of the consequences. It is never advisable to support an individual in gambling because of the risks involved. But no matter what, and if the cited situation is true, be a friend to him. Help him morally to regain atleast his mental state. Also, try to accompany him with other activity not involving risk and money such as sports and the likes to somehow calibrate his drive to gamble. Also, do not blame yourself for everything because that's his decision in the first place. It is solely dependent with the gambler on how would he end up after playing; broke, victorious, or just fine.  Lastly, seek for professional help becaause addiction is not something to be cured in an instant and with ease.
2494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: April 12, 2023, 02:58:01 PM
I recently discovered that I signed up for a casino without thoroughly reading its terms and conditions agreement. But of course this was entirely my fault even that I am still bothered by the withdrawal requirements on deposits. It is well known that deposit bonuses or any bonus offered by a casino will have wagering requirements that goes to x50 or more. What truly concerns me is the 5X wagering requirement on normal deposits without any bonus in order to withdraw the initial deposit or winnings.
To clarify things better here is an example : if you were to deposit $1000 and win $200 in your first few games then you wouldnt be able to withdraw your winnings or even your deposits without wagering at least $5000. This means that 80% of the time, you would lose your money before reaching the required amount.
In my opinion this term is unfair. I am not attacking any specific casino, but I do believe that if users were aware of these requirements they would be less likely to deposit their money in such casinos since there are other casinos without such stringent requirements.
That's huge for a wagering requirement. In most of the gambling sites I have encountered, they are simply putting a minimum amount for withdrawal but that is a fixed amount. As I've read through this topic, Trustdice is the referred gambling platform with the mentioned wagering amount. It is a popular gambling site in this industry as well as good reputation so I guess they would have a reason for this. One possible reason is ofcourse as a marketing strat to push people to deposit more whenever they are losing or to go all out until the capital is done. But on the other end, gamblers would be forced to make their capital smaller in order to reach the wagering requirement easily. But rules are rules no matter how we look at it. If you cannot carry the 'line' for this site, there are others to choose from.
2495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ridiculous Bets that disappointed you on: April 12, 2023, 02:13:45 PM
I can only remember a bet which I think was ridiculous; a month before when I was still hooked with boxing matches and it happened that for the whole month, there's no exciting line ups to bet my money with. And I came across with a debut fight in a local tournament and happened that betting is involved. Since I was in thirst of betting that time, I tried to bet and simply based on their appearance; bigger would be advantageous. And yes, I lost my bet because the smaller fighter won 'coz he used his speed as an advantage. Ridiculous I guess because practicality should be considered in sports; fighter's agility will always be an edge more than size. Definitely an expensive way to learn in this industry; lose your bet.
2496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale strategy in casinos on: April 11, 2023, 11:38:15 PM
Martingale strategy in casinos. How do you feel about it?  Huh Huh Huh My little experience sometimes comes with a good result) but more often the result is negative
On my end, I view this strategy as increasing the risk. Also, this would only work if you have a huge capital in order to sustain your 'double the amount' bets, which is something not advisable. Winning will never be certain to most of the gambling games which is why for me, invalidates the idea of doubling up your losing bet in order to make up for it.Imagine you are just on a losing streak because you are unlucky for that day, and you pushed this strategy; how worse could situations be? This strategy is somehow a way to push through with gambling; like forcing to win against the house. Something which is forced won't end up good. It will always be better to just be aware of your losses in order to control it.
2497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tilt in gambling on: April 11, 2023, 11:26:05 PM
A gambler should never allow emotions to affect his gambling habits; will always end up with a problem. What is ideal is to remain calm whether you are winning or losing 'coz your next bet won't have certainty as well. If you happened to lose in a bet, you cannot assure that you'd be winning on the next one so what's the need to be frustrated about it? I get it; every emotion is valid but the only thing a player could control is the emotion and not the outcome, so better be responsible of it.

How to deal with frustration? Pregention is better than cure, set limit already, before engaging with gambling. Next, accept that losing is more likely to happen and instill that there are lucky and unlucky days for a player. Learn how to stop when needed; if you are continuously losing, that should be an enough sign to take a pause.
2498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler on: April 11, 2023, 11:13:05 PM
There's no such thing. First of all, they won't track your losses and winnings as well as your betting habits. Also what would be their basis to tag a gambler responsible? Casinos would only want to have more players on their platform whether you consider yourself as responsible or not, that would be none of their business. People are different with one another; some are just more fond of betting huge amounts because they fan simply endure the consequence. However, there are those who are simply not playing with a sense of responsibility with their funds but still, that would be a gambler's personal issue and no one would mind to interfere with that. Casinos in the first place won't be sued for players who are losing that much, they just provide the platform.
2499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Thought On Gambling Strategies on: April 11, 2023, 03:34:10 PM
Ideologies of such might really be working to them and there's no need for us, who are not having the same belief, to marginalize them or even criticize what they are doing. Remember; if it works then it is useful. It could be that they are lucky or the strategy itself is just valid or working. On my end, I still look at gambling as a faster way to lose money than with investments. Gambling strategies won't be famous if it did not work its proponent, therefore, discriminating won't do you any good. To name one, martingale is one of the popular strategy but for me it just a way to double the risk and put you into bigger tendency to lose more. But if you would ask others they are still doing such strategy because they're used of it.
2500  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rigged Game on: April 11, 2023, 02:54:21 PM
You won't know unless someone actually catches those gambling sites doing something wrong or rigging the results on their games. This is to show proof that such thing do really occur in this industry 'coz most of the time, you'd just end up being gaslighted that "it is not your day, come back the other", which on the other hand, has a point. This would only be questioned if none or only a few are winning on different games which is also something difficult to come up with because a long survey would be required to know it. However if you are having a feeling of being cheated by the house, you are free to move towards other platform annd if you would still end up losing, take a rest or a pause to shake things up. Gambling relies on one's luck in the first place.
