Speculations are undending but it is just that the next anticipation of price increase is on 2024 because of the upcoming Bitcoin halving. But everything's uncertain; there may be things to occur which could boost the market value of cryptos next year and it will not solely depend on what is being assumed. Same thing with expectations of high market value; the opposite may happen. This is simply because market prices are dependent with demand and it happened that demand is changing from time to time depending on factors which could affect the interest of investors.

Maybe for now speculations are rather silent but not dead I guess. Once there are things to happen for next year, there will be changes with speculations at the present, either positive or negative, towards this industry.

Not to make any prediction is far different from being patient with the market behavior. Indeed the market is volatile in nature but to let things slide would be different. Making assumptions still is better because it would llow an investor to gauge situations; the current market behavior is still profitable if you'd be able to know when will the market price fall and rise through futures trading and scalping. Not unless you're into long term holding, speculating the market will be always needed.
Well, this is just the least you could do as an investor which is to be more responsible of your assets. Always be aware of the possible worse case scenario to avoid unexpected things and negative market behaviors which could yield to profit loss or damage to your assets. This simply includes the way you store your capital.

In terms of investment, capital or capability of an investor would be a bottomline. No matter how big your drive is, if you cannot endure market downfalls, then for sure this industry won't suit you. Everyone's aware that you should only invest an amount you can afford to lose but only a few could do it on the actual. Question is; are poor people advisable to invest in Bitcoin? On my end, it is not a good thing to do so. For sure people who have a tight budget would need stable income in order to have time for investments. The idea of this industry for being profitable is indeed tempting but if you'd push your luck hoping to be rich in an instant, loss and regrets are more likely to happen.

Unwritten rule I guess, not only in this industry but to all types of investment. In any investment, profit is not assured most of the time, especially in this industry wherein market prices are volatile or changing from time to time. Losing is the only thing certain especually if you won't be having the right guess. The idea of investing only an an amount you can afford losing is ideal. But think if there are even people who does it. Ofcourse all of us are having high hopes of earning profit from doing so, because why would you even invest into something if you are not having assumptions that you'll get something from it? Money is just tempting that it would abide our personal boundaries or limitations set for ourselves.

There are many betting strategies not to add martingale which is known by many of us. Given that there are various bettinf types, what I think would matter is the betting capability of a gambler. Winning is not certain in the first place and betting strategy could only slow down your losses. But if in the first place you can manage the amount you are about to gamble, you don't need to worry on such thing.
Multiple bets? for sure there would be high returns but also, bigger losses if you won't be fortunate enough to get the winning bets. So I guess this should not be advised to the new ones in this industry. If it happens that all of your bets would lose, that would be dealing a huge damage on your capital, in an instant.

Addiction is not something planned or being accepted. It occurs naturally because of the drive of a certain individual. Ofcourse everyone wants to avoid addiction but why does it seem that many people are being addicted not only to gambling but also to other activities. It happens because they are unconscious of what is happening to them. Most of us planned to play in this industry safe from being addicted into it. What becomes a problem is the reality that some players are just too hooked up with the idea that there are players who became rich in an instant which often yield to debt, which makes them more eager to continue olaying despitw of huge losses. This is where professionals enter but that would require initiative from the players once they are aware that they are being too hooked up with gambling.

Cashless gambling refers to the mode of payment and that is different to what platform would you engage yourself with; landbased or online casino. If you'd engage with landbased casino even if it accepts online payment, it will still be tangled with the government. But in online platforms, many of the gambling sites are crypto based, I think, because of privacy concerns and convenience with transactions. It will just depend on your preference as a gambler and as an investor.

I think it is just an alternative mode of payment and there's nothing more to it. Most of the transactions in the first place, and at the present are now made possible through online payments . But if you are avoiding taxes, crypto-based gambling casinos would be a better option.

Money. For sure many of us  have the same drive. But also, there are people who are gambling for entertainment purposes and most of them are the rich ones. Those who has not much of money are mostly hoping of becoming rich in this industry maybe becausee of the impression created by this activity to those who are non-gamblers. This might be because of those gamblers who made fortune out of this industry. Problem on the other hand is that; the number of people losing are way bigger than those few people who won big time. Going back with the drive, despite of the unfortunate relaity in this industry wherein many are losing and still being addicted into this activity, it simply shows how addictive an activity could be as long as there's money involved.

For sure there are various types of investments. So if you have the money to do so, you are free ro choose qhich one would work on your end. Putting your money at home would also put it to risk of not being able to use its maximum value. For instance is inflation. The things you could buy in a $100 bill was more before than to what it could at the present. Putting it into this industry will open a new risk concerning volatile market price. So I guess it is a matter of choosing your own poison or medicine.I'd agree with physical risks with regards of just storing it at home. It could be prone to attacks from mouse, cockroaches and such which could cause a downside to those people who managed to be patient deslte of the negative market situation

There are chances that Elon would engage to this industry especially if there will be a clear trend on the market. But if it is for shallow purposes such as for bragging and such, I think that would be impossible. Musk is an influencial and rich individual both inside and outside this industry.It is more likely that he won't transfer some of his assets into this technology. What's more likely to happen is for him to use his resources and extra funds to cope up with crypto adoption. Since he has the money and influence, it would be easy for him to create a wave in this industry leading into profit on his end.

The only advantage I guess, accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment in a business is the chance of earning 'more' during bullish trend in this industry. Problem is that things would be double edged. There is a tendency for bigger profit but as well as losses and lack of sustainability with the business itself. If it is a business wherein labor or professionalism would be paid, I guess this would work efficiently but if it is a business concerning general sustainability; needing stocks to run the business, there might be problems. Ofcourse the business owner would refuse to use the funds in order to process circulation within the business, for sure bankruptcy could be possible to occur afterwards, especially during market downfall.

A more logical obstacle. There are many ways to earn profit but the usual problem is the start or where would people get or start their journey. Another I think which could be an obstacle are regulations by government concerning taxes which lessens what people are actually earning form their job nd investments. Last obstacle i guess concerning financial freedom is, oneself. Many people have the drive to seek for money but not all people are willing to take the risk or every opportunity to earn. It is our action which would matter. This may also be related with employment issues you have mentioned. There are many ways to generate profit but there are just people who are choosing to complain more than to grab those chances.

We've all seen the ceiling price of tokens at the present in this year, and also the deepest after bullrun. Huge losses and huge gains were experienced by many investors of this industry for this year. And for next year, I guess things won't be instantly be recovered or regained with momentum. The issues which contributed for the downfall, are still existing at this point which for me makes sense to not that much. I do more expect wn increase in 2024 because of the anticipated bitcoin halving but a year of no increase is such a long period to wait for us investors. If there will be things to boost the market price of ceyptocurrencies for next year, ofcourse that would be better to avoid the same thing of 2018 downfall wherein the market is down for more than a year or two.

Bottom question I guess is concerned with the legitimacy. Ofcourse there will always be risk;small or big, in gambling. But getting an odd of winning more than 40% I guess is already big so what more with the given computation of OP. Most of the people here would be interested with such offer but if this won't be paying on casino's end, then this will just be a waste of time. If the offer is a bit unrealistic, think or doubt already. A gambling casino won't allow its players to win most of the because it will only yield to bankruptcy unless that casino to offer such thing qould find a way to generate profit inspite of giving such odd to the players.

That is why accusations have no use. Those which has proofs are the ones to be given an 'eye' by the majority. Some people inded jist cannot accept their fault on some instances. There were even topics in this forum wherein complaint backfired to the OP after accusing a reputable gambling site when he failed to support his claims.

There are many gambling sites in this industry; some are licensed and some are not. Problem is knowing if the license is legitimate especially if you are not feom that country wherein a licensed gambling site is registered. A player could only rely from the reputation of that gambling site and won't be certain that nothing bad could happen on his winnings or assets in gambling.

Got 'em all? amazing. I only managed to get a winning prediction between Sunderland and Blackburn. Well, I had thoughts that Middlesbrough would win but I was not that confident which made me disregard my supposed bet on that match. Quite happy with the outcome of my bet 'coz the amount is decent. Simply proves that if you cannot risk your money, never expect for high returns. I've as well never engaging to multiple bets because the chances of winning becomes small as per ratio. My strategy still is to bet only when my 'points of the match' are in line with the odds or simply betting only if I have a bigger chance to make a winning prediction (more of playing it safely). Congrats to those winning predictions!

Definitely, what OP should support his topic is to show strategies such as martingale and stake based. But in reality, there's a way to make your chances of winning, bigger, but there's no such thing as a definite way on winning in gambling because no certainty is in this activity.

Sharing mine in sportsbetting is to be familiar with the team stats or capabilities as proven by previous matches. Listing of advantages and disadvantages would also help to support your claim. These could make your chances of having a winning bet, bigger but for sure it won't determine the winner in an instant simply because things are unpredictable not only in sports, but in gambling itself. Why? 'coz we have these things called "luck".

Well maybe, that was due to his frustrations. Problem is; you won't be able to be certain of your victory in gambling industry. Maybe he just tried his luck out of being frustrated with his losses from projects but bottomline here is creating a problem out of an existing problem won't result to a solution. This is the as with lending an amount and paying it with another lended money from another person; the idea simply emphasizes that it would be an unending loop. Losing is more certain in gambling unless you are lucky. It will always be luck. And as many people have said in this topic, if this is true then he just created a worse scenario.
He's more of an irresponsible project owner on my end but I guess not with stealing people's money. There is I think a difference.

Would work i guess for 'small time' bettings 'coz if it would be a normal tournament wherein players could gamble, do expect that results would be totally manipulated such as with huge sports leagues. But if it is in wrestling, I think peer to peer betting would be fair 'coz both parties will have no idea of the outcome which would make the odds equal to both ends. But if you're an avid fan of wrestling, wwe in particular, you'd really enjoy the show not because of the chances of winning money but because of the entertainment, which in the first place serves its purpose.
Indeed, boxing and MMA are the better options for fighting sports even if fixed matches are also evident. It is just that manipulations are less frequent in official tournaments unlike with 'for entertainment' sports.

Who told you that winning is certain in gambling? If I was the one being asked to play for his/her money, I'd refuse. Winning is never certain in this industry and if I'd play that money, the blame could be on me (even if he/she's the one to ask the favor). Another thing is some sort of regret perhaps you'd win from that amount; think of your gain if that was your capital. So just to be safe from any negative outcome, prevent it in the first place. To those people who'd say "why would he blame you if that amount would loss if he/she is your friend?". Please grow up. It is money we are talking about and it is something which has value. Again, never think that gambling is a shortcut to being rich. Think of how many people gone broke because of this activity.
