2601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any changes experienced within body - Gambling??? on: June 30, 2022, 11:13:15 AM
I may say, it is a game, bet (loss) phobia that is causing those pains in your body. Normally if you are winning all time, you would not have such pain or the health issue you mentioned. You were afraid that anytime you played gamble or you bet game with someone you would lose so with that that you Developed syndrome of headache which would have transmitted the headache pain to stomach pain and other parts of the body. And I also suggest that since you have finally detected the caused of the pains, it only you can heal yourself by leaving gambling. Though it might be very hard to leave if you are addicted to it but now your health is better than the games. Because prevention is better than cure. Although there might be other factors can contribute to stomach and other pains in the body. Such as stress, arguments hunger etc but the father of them all is the lose phobia. Once you treat the lose phobia the other ones will be taking care of.

I think a lot of people are completely and utterly ignoring the psychological illness inducing part of gambling when they talk about the physical health aspects of having any kind of gambling addiction.

Why would anyone think that the two aren't related to each other? The mind is a powerful thing and obviously a psychological issue can quickly develop into some sort of physical illness.

Phobias like you said, are a psychological illness that can be developed through gambling but thats just the beginning. It gets worse once your body starts falling apart from the phobia.
2602  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should the physically challenged be exempted from bitcoin? on: June 30, 2022, 10:03:17 AM
I consider how bitcoin adoption is ever increasing each day despite bitcoin running dip in price, many people have seen and taken the good advantage in using the digital currency for many reasons that best suit their needs, now i consider this set of physically challenged people (blind, deaf and dumb) who may also want to make good opportunity out of it for an adoption, as we all know they would have heard about bitcoin but not knowing how to go about it, should we consider them in participating from this great benefits in bitcoin or assume an exemption for them.

Why do i need to raise this is because i have centers allocated for these set of people from my location here and i see it a good advantage for them to as well participate in using bitcoin but to be sincere i lack the first move to helping this challenged people out and i see bitcoin as a currency that shouldn't have a barrier of usage just as the fiat is.

I will like to hear from our suggestions, various ways we can use to aid these set of people (blind, deaf, dumb) to know about bitcoin, and if there are instructional materials or steps that could help facilitate their awareness to bitcoin, its uses and application.

Thats a road that I would not want to go down if I were you. Why would you start banning people like the physically challenged from bitcoin purchases and trades? That would not only harm bitcoin itself but also harm the financial situation of the person in question. And at what point do we start drawing lines and where do we draw them? Whats next, do we exempt people with a history of making mistakes? What about criminal records? How much crime is too much? Do shoplifters get their bitcoin freedom taken away from them?

See, its all BS if you ask me. Everyone should have bitcoin freedom. Otherwise whats the point in bitcoin?
2603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it possible to control Gambling behaviors? on: June 30, 2022, 09:00:24 AM
According to many studies and the opinions of experts in behavioral psychology, gambling-related behaviors can be controlled, whether to reduce addictive behaviors or avoid addiction for beginners;

In brief, You can deal well with your gambling problems by learning about it, addressing it, controlling what might drive you to gambling, and then getting support.

Is this possible according to your opinion and what are the tips that can be followed?

Of course it is possible to control gambling behaviors. You just need to first be able to control yourself, your surroundings and anything that may or may not put you in an emotional state in which you are more vulnerable to losing money because of bad decisions or rash mistakes. How do these mistakes happen? Well you start losing streaks and that makes you angry, your wife calls you and makes you even more frustrated, your boss yells at you and now you are ready to lose everything because your emotional state has compromised you to the point where you just do not care about anything. Thats when you lose control.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on how I controlled my Gambling addiction. on: June 29, 2022, 01:25:05 AM
‌They said when you identify a problem then the solution is possible. Addition is a Big problem to Most gamblers out there and one very big challenge with gamblers is that they don't even get to notice they're already addicted to gambling even when they're told , I was a victim even to the extent I used most of my University school fees to gamble back days until when I realized myself and put a permanent stop to my addiction and now Play moderately.
 I have a lot of friends too currently involved into same addiction whom I have made necessary efforts to getting them out only few were able to buy the idea. So I'm talking from the point of experience. However, After lots of advice from my friends who saw where I was headed to coupled with the last bet that almost got me drop out of school then, had me took that bold decision.


                          HOW I DID GET TO SOLVING THAT PROBLEM

1•
I penalized myself by having myself deassociated from all kind of gambling friends and taking up a new friends who was into Bitcoin and have that time transferred to things related to crypto currency activities and it was actually part of what lead me into my discovery of Bitcoin and today here I am.


2•
I stopped visiting betting shops in my locality and online betting sites too.


3•
I stopped myself from watching football and anything related to footballing activities for months and I used those time to engage in
 other valuable things like going to the gym and reading more books during the time when there are important football matches going on.

 
4•
Relocating from my house to another area where my friends could not find me easily because there was this pressure from them why I
     suddenly started to ingnoring them so I had to relocate.

Wow. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to go through with all of that. Congratulations to you for trying so hard to get rid of your gambling addiction. Although it is a bit strange that you would continue going on a gambling subforum even though it might entice you to gamble again?

Moving so just that your friends would leave you alone is a bit extreme. Could you not have just talked to them about your gambling addiction? They may have been a bit more understanding than you might think. Burning bridges like friendships is kind of a last resort measure.

I am rooting for you, buddy! Don't fall back into your old habits!!
2605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To build your Professionalism on casino on: June 29, 2022, 12:21:14 AM
A person needs to think deeply about a few things before starting gambling in online. Adherence to these principles a gambler have more chances of getting success in gambling platform which can make a gambler responsible from the start.

Things to obey:

1. A gambler should gambling as an entertainment, not as a way to make money or the earning source of money.

2. Don't try to bet with your everyday life leading money which is very much needed or can't afford to lose  like billing, rent, food or something like that.

3. You should Understand the potential of the game, embrace it wisely and predict your chances of winning at that particular game.

4. It is more important to read the terms and conditions carefully other wise everything will be invalid.

5. No betting on YouTube reviews or anyone's advice. Prepare yourself to understand the advantage or disadvantage.

6. If you lose your assets then don’t pursue the losses.

I think your success in gambling will definitely visible if you follow the these instructions. Here  you can add your knowledge and experience for the flourishing to this concern.

A very nice list of what to do and what not to do, if I may say so myself. However I would still add something: 7. Walk away from the gambling table (platform, website, whatever) if you are noticing that you are becoming somewhat emotional. Becoming frustrated that you are losing and trying to win back the money by making ill-informed or drastic bets is a downhill battle which you will eventually lose.

I really do fall for emotional betting every now and then and it really is a big problem that can easily be avoided.
2606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the dip and Invest in Bitcoin for long term on: June 29, 2022, 12:09:04 AM
An investment should always be a long term thing. Thats why you do so much research on your investments beforehand. If you truley believe in something then obviously you are going to be setting a goal of years before you cash out. Bitcoin however is not only a long term investment but a firm belief that we are switching to a different monetary system. A third generation of money technology.

So to me there really is not much point in "cashing out" at that point.
2607  Local / Mining (Deutsch) / Re: Wo kann ich Bitcoin mit überschüssigem Strom minen? on: June 28, 2022, 06:03:15 AM
bei Windkraft zum Beispiel wird ja oft mehr Strom produziert als benötigt wird, welcher dann verschenkt wird oder der Käufer des Stroms sogar noch Geld dafür bekommt. Glaubt ihr ich könnte bei der Firma die den Windpark bei mir um die Ecke hat nachfragen ob ich meine Miner dahin stellen könnte? Kann mir aber nicht vorstellen, dass die das machen. Oder kennt ihr Firmen die das machen?
Hi!
Ich weiß aus sicherer Quelle, dass das bspw. Wasserkraftwerke so machen. Die geben den überschüssigen Strom zu Spotpreisen ab. Hat man also bspw. einen Container mit Mining-Hardware neben dem Kraftwerk stehen, dann kann man dort den Strom sehr sehr günstig beziehen und damit minen. Das Problem ist dann eher der ausreichende Internetanschluss in solchen Gegenden. Glasfaster o.ä. spielts da meistens nicht.
Dass du als Käufer aber dafür auch noch Geld bekommst halte ich für ein Gerücht, das kann ich mir beim besten Willen nicht vorstellen.

Also ja, fragen kostet nix.

Ich glaube nicht, dass wir in Deutschland selbst bei Spotpreisen mit den Strompreisen beispielsweise in Kasachstan mithalten können. Langer Rede kurzer Sinn: Zu deutschen Strompreisen ist es einfach nicht sinnvoll, große Miningprojekte zu betreiben. Das sollte lieber im Ausland gemacht werden. Auch das Internet ist hier in Deutschland teuer und peinlich unausgereift.

Und bei der aktuellen Energiekrise glaube ich nicht, dass man einfach so ein günstiges Sonderangebot finden wird. Das wollen ja alle Wink

Hey Bros, i'm in a hurry, so here's that promised photo from NGC7000 (North America Nebula). Seond try, because my lens fogged in the humid air of the night.
Details: 200mm lens on a H-Alpha modified DSLR, 100x25 sec frames for the stars, 20x60 sec frames for the nebula.



You could zoom into the most microscopic, darkest spot on this picture and you would still find more stars than you can see in this picture with your bare eyes. Man, the universe is sexy. Thanks for sharing the pic!

Reminder: We're days away from seeing James Webb's first images (non-calibration/non-test ones). Exciting times ahead! We are going to see the beginning of the universe, literally.
2609  Economy / Gambling / Re: around 1.6 billion people worldwide gamble, What about a poker gamefi?? on: June 27, 2022, 09:01:01 AM
First of all, at least make an original post if you're actually interested in creating a topic concerning the article in question (and you are curious about said article). Secondly, Gamefi for gambling? That seems very redundant. Casinos already have incentives to find new people who become interested in their games and keeping old gamblers on their platform.

The main reason it seems unnecessary to me is because gambling itself is not really something you need to incentivize with a play-to-earn system as its quite good at marketing itself to the right crowd as is.
2610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did Bitcoin Disappointed You ? on: June 27, 2022, 07:50:11 AM
If you guys are going to panic sell everytime when Bitcoin goes bearish then you guys might as well just burn your fiat instead of buying Bitcoin. At least the fire will keep your cold shaky hands warm  Grin Roll Eyes

Bitcoin has a history of scary dumps and amazing pumps. Lets not start speculating about at how much % loss Bitcoin becomes "dead" again.

I know the veteran hodlers are not the ones panicking. You guys should question why that is.

Bitcoin will never die just because of a volatile dump during its bearish corrections.

But.. some expecting pump, some dump, some capitalization on the second dip at 14K.    Cheesy   Cheesy   Cheesy  Cheesy   Cheesy


No one knows sh!t. Actually.. Not rly, because Banks are on 'suicide watch' right now, so we will see if they shoot themselves in the foot and try to dump.   Roll Eyes   Roll Eyes

Odds are 50/50 then?


Nope.. it is 100% certain going for another dip. Then we get to receive capitalization.    Cool   Cool

Sorry if I am not understanding this, but the "teleports" still rely on the traditional ground internet to get the block data which they proceed to send to the satellites which proceed to send it everywhere on earth? Why can't we just use Elon Musks satellites to access the internet and basically do the same thing once the costs justify the means?
2613  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins Crossed 20k USD!! Don’t lose hope now. on: June 26, 2022, 07:53:44 PM
The only hope I am losing is that Bitcoin will never be this cheap again!

How am I supposed to sleep at night knowing that I will not be able to buy at this price again when I have enough money? This is really unfair.

The only ones losing hope over this tiny dump are the unexperienced newbie coiners who have not experienced the full history of Bitcoin's price volatility. I really hope they do take the advice of veteran coiners and hodl instead of selling. I would rather see them richer than the whales buying up the coins from shaky hands.
2614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Its One Too Many on: June 26, 2022, 05:57:47 PM
I think all businesses have their types of disadvantages. One tiny minor mistake can't make someone (or some company) fraud. Especially if you can clear it with legit / legal disputes. As many mentioned here, honest businesses (and casinos as well) have customer friendly manners. It means, they mainly try to compensate people with bad experiences. Anyways, bad PR is something everyone dislikes. Reputation is important.

I do not know whether or not thats quite correct.. I have worked with businesses that went completely downhill just because of one small, lazy mistake which led to a shitstorm of problems and bad PR. And don't let people tell you there is no such thing as bad PR. There definitely is. Especially for smaller start ups.

Reputation is the most important thing for a business. Honest or not, if something starts and people get involved, regardless of who is right or wrong or if something is true or not, once a reputation has been ruined, its almost impossible to recover from that.

legal disputes will only help you recover from some damages.
2615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Type of Gambler Am I? on: June 26, 2022, 03:12:48 AM
I would probably call myself a "Relief and Escape Gambler". I definitely have great coping skills which have allowed me to cope with always losing haha. But people do need relief and escape from whatever is going on in their lives, I would think.

But the coping with loss part is really something that all people need. Otherwise they just keep going and going until all their money is gone, forever.

I can't really say I am all that emotional when losing but I do become more and more emotional on winning streaks. Which I think is my weakness, I just do not know when to stop and collect my profits. Roll Eyes

2617  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The market is confusing on: June 24, 2022, 05:11:23 PM
The market has always been like this, and I think it will be in the future. It’s just that for some reason everyone wants easy money, but it just doesn’t happen that way.

Quite correct and exactly my own sentiment. Furthermore, anyone veteran who used to be like this and had this kind of quick money mindset will now tell you that the fastest way to lose all your money is chasing quick cash. Slow money gains is where the real profits are at. Thats why hodling is always more profitable and less nerve wracking than trading, especially day trading (which is basically just flip flopping until you burn through your money)
2618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best time to buy or wait a little bit ? on: June 24, 2022, 04:36:05 PM
If you firmly believe in Bitcoin, especially Bitcoin reaching prices over $100k USD, then anything below that is a good time to buy. Personally, I think Bitcoin is the next generation of money but has not reached full adoption yet. Remember, if you believe in something and wish to invest in it, then you should not be all too concerned about the right times to buy and the right times to sell. But rather the right time to hodl. Kiss

History has shown us that the ones who made the most money and the luckiest people have always been the hodlers. So why think it will be any different, soon?
2619  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Mining "without internet" on: June 24, 2022, 04:05:28 AM
Mining without internet might actually be an interesting concept. Could you perhaps translate electrical signals through a phone/fax line to a computer with internet and somehow mine that way? Perhaps you could set up entire mining operations like that and have it all going back and forth between miners connected through the ethernet, sending and recieving signals (Which are translated from phone signals to code and from code to phone signals? You would still need internet at the end node though. I imagine the entire ordeal might not be doable due to how long it would take and phone lines cannot really compete with the internet as a mode of signal transfer for something as complex as mining?
2620  Economy / Gambling / Re: KYC casino or no-KYC casino, but with no bonuses/no cashback? on: June 24, 2022, 03:49:38 AM
If you were given a choice, would you play regularly in a cryptocurrency casino WITH KYC, and with added benefits like first deposit/welcome bonuses and cashbacks?

Or would you like to play regularly in a casino, WITHOUT KYC, BUT also without the welcome bonuses, cashbacks and other extra rewards?
I have no problem with any of the two, kyc has never and will never be a factor for me when deciding which casino to play on.
I don't mind passing kyc verification if the casino offers all the features that I want or love in a casino, like varieties of games to choose from, user friendly interface, a demo mode to experiment playing without fund, easy deposit and fast payout of withdrawals and most important of all, maintaining a good reputation by having a 24/7 customer service that resolve all issues in a timely manner.
This are some of the things I look out for in an online casino, kyc or no kyc is never a factor for me.

Perhaps you should be more careful with KYC. It seems to me that your easy-going attitude towards giving strangers your government documents is going to come back to bite you on your behind one day. How this is going to look for you, I cannot say. But if you are entrusting every single online gambling casino that you come across without as much as a single thought to actually researching the reputation and trustworthiness of the casino and the owners then you are just putting yourself at the mercy of scammers and identity thievery.

You should be more careful.
