2601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you consider living on crypto? on: August 25, 2021, 10:29:59 PM

Was an interesting discussion as to where we stood. And was just wondering how everyone else thinks.
Gift cards? Debit cards? Get paid in BTC and convert to USD (or whatever) and put into your bank?

-Dave
People would really be considering on living with crypto on where using up some platforms for your needs even though it is needing some conversion then you could really tell that you are living with it.

since crypto isnt fully or globally adopted yet which i do talk about p2p transactions between merchant and clients then i could really say that we would still stick into the traditional path.

Thing here is that we do see some progress and we are really heading up there.

Would you be able to do it? Playing the same numbers over and over again like this? Because I know that I will not have the patience to do this during 30 years.
I have tried this but only good for 1 year and on the next year i never intent to continue as if those numbers wont really be hitting up anytime soon.

30 years waiting time or betting is something not all person could do and lottery tickets arent really that expensive for people to mind off about on how much they could save on.

This hit isnt something that everybody could also get.It is just a matter of extreme luck because theres no time frame neither 1 day hit or 50 years before you could able to hit.
2603  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoins Be Cashed? on: August 25, 2021, 08:06:17 PM
Bitcoin is a digital currency that circulates freely, without any control or supervision from banks, governments, or anyone else. In contrast, bitcoin relies solely on cryptography and software between computers.

what if the government closes or does not allow the exchange of Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies with the official currency in each country?  Huh
We could still make use of it directly in p2p .. 1 BTC = 1 BTC and as long there's the demand then we can set our own rules and wont be tending to rely upon fiat currency in towards conversion

but honestly it is really hard to think off for us to go into this situation where bitcoin doesnt really have any fiat monetary value and since it isnt still globally adopted then i

cant really think off about the probabilities of things to happen next.So lets not stressed ourselves in regards to this one.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Euro 2020 caused a spike in gamlbing issues on: August 25, 2021, 07:08:48 PM
I think it's not wrong for people to gamble on sports that are held every 4 years, as long as they can still control their emotions in making bets, I think gamblers also have their favorite team in the euro last year and maybe because of that factor they bet for the victory of their favorite team they, in my opinion, rehabilitation is not the right step to get rid of gambling addiction and actually gambling addiction is different from drug addiction which has a big influence in damaging our brain nerves.
Sure it is not bad to bet on sports that is held every 4 years. But then again just like what the OP posted " it seems that the return of live sports is causing problems to some gamblers that have been struggling with addiction". So, it's clear that there are gamblers that aren't able to control themselves and they needed professional help. That's why I said rehabilitation. also, do you really think that rehabilitation only treat drug addiction? Anyway, if rehabilition is not the right step. Do you have suggestions on what is the right step?

Rehab can help those addicted gamblers to cool down and correct whatever damages that this gambling vice affected their mindsets. Professional help alongside with self-will be the best thing to counter this concern.

It's not bad if you are just occasionally betting or you still have good control over your gambling activities.

But if you are already engaged that much and you cannot control yourself, it's indeed that you really have to go to the process of rehabilitations,.

Gambling or any other addictions are just the same in the concepts of malfunctions inside your brain, things that can be corrected
if the person is really willing to cooperate with the professional who's trying to help him.
Rehab would just be the last resort you would have if you cant help yourself on your own and next by your loved ones when it comes to your addiction.Although not all does have the capacity on acquiring these service due to some cost and not all would really be that open nor willing to approach these professionals to seek off for some help.

Gambling games or sports event is always there but i dont see for those things to get blamed off when someones do get addicted because this is something a personal problem that you do
need to resolve on your own.
2605  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Signals in crypto on: August 23, 2021, 08:18:01 PM
I think signal is not best in crypto because every signal don't hit target and then we loos our money or follow some one which are most expert in crypto which have a great knowledge but you should have some own knowledge then we can follow someone signal
No need for a signal. As you've said, you're like to lose money from it if you're not careful enough following any of those. And that's why you need to research for those that are going to be helpful as you trade. You will miss a lot of knowledge from it if you're not careful by doing it.
Signals don't help you because most of them will give you wrong predictions and wrong signals that it may look honest and good to you but they really are not.
Would be better if you do make your own analysis rather than stressing out yourself on following others hints or signals.Nothing beats off if you are already independent towards your trading career.

For those people who do rely on signals or copy trades are to those people who doesnt really like for themselves to get anymore better with this industry.Signals isnt bad but you should

know on how to determine which is really worth to be followed or something that you could get idea from.

2606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 23, 2021, 07:20:39 PM
That's why I dare to say that almost 70% of gamblers who bet on the match lost their money, because many gamblers made pacquaio their favorite for various reasons and like me, many of my friends also lost their money hoping that pacquaio would win

To be honest, I don't understand why you guys bet on Pacquiao. The odds are not attractive.

If I'm not mistaken around @1.2, @1.3? Too low for putting up a risk.

Or maybe you choose the winning method or other betting options instead? What are the odds for these? No idea here.
Too much trust which i cant really blame them off and even myself did really believe that Pacquiao would able to win basing off with experience and the statistics that Yugas had been defeated by those fighters that
Pacquiao had beaten in the past which we can really highly presume that he would able to win this via neither KO or Unanimous decision but well everything cant really be predicted precisely
and we had seen on how the fight did do end up. Lots had lost their bets.
2607  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are some individuals hostile to Bitcoin? on: August 23, 2021, 06:16:21 PM
Those who do not know very well about Bitcoin and have been making various negative comments about Bitcoin from the beginning, only make negative comments about Bitcoin on various social media.I avoid all these people all the time. Especially where the big businessmen of the world invest bitcoin, there is no need to listen to the small limestone.

As investors we have to be able to choose what we deserve to hear, everyone can talk about bitcoin without a good knowledge base, they are mostly afraid that their business is threatened because of bitcoin, the best thing is to focus on the goal and ignore what they say.

But we should never fully exclude the possibility that there is some truth to what somebody says who really dislikes Bitcoin. I think it very much depends on the tone they choose to convey their points. As long as they argue with substance, or with a bit of substance, it can be worthwhile to listen to them as well. We can also be wrong at times. We most certainly are.
Everyone does have their own opinion and lets just respect to that because nothing on this world wouldnt really have any criticisms because people are way too different on thinking things which there would really be always those haters and those supporters.

Market couldnt really be challenging if all would really be sharing up on the same opinion and views. Being hostile or bitter into something is just normal because people are really having different views
and perceptions.

As a supporter then it do really sucks to hear off but its better to ignore it for you not able to make yourself stress.
2608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know is time to walk? on: August 23, 2021, 05:50:58 PM
It's easy to know the timing but when i'm in that very moment it's difficult to execute knowing you could continue and make more profits then i'd get greedy and lose it all. Aside from knowing the best decision you also need to have some consistency because even if you know when to stop or walk away you still get that temptation to gamble. Tracking your bets from one site to the other is also another good way to know when to stop I think i've said this in another thread but having your own list gives you that realization.
Greed is the primary reason on why most gamblers or players do really fail on this one even though you are already aware on whats going on but you would really be having that thought that.What if i do play more?
I could possibly break even or make wins even more and this is where the  story starts.

Walking away would  be most likely to happen when someone got broke or already have no money into their pockets.Only a few could able to walk away and could able to stop when theyre winning
or to those who do already spent their budget.

Walk if you already on your limit and wont go past with that.

2609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: August 22, 2021, 10:54:31 PM
Casimero said Inoue is a Japanese Turtle, MF, and afraid of him.. the Champ should respond the right way, and that is by accepting the challenge.

Yeah I saw the clip on YT. I was wondering If Inoue have made a real response with the trash talking Casimero did in the press because I've read an article where Inoue was a bit upset with Casimero's statement calling him a turtle, then proceed to post some remarks of his own in his twitter account.

Though I am from PH but I guess I'm rooting for the Monster here. I feel like Inoue is in a different level than Casimero in terms of intensity, speed, and power.
However as fellow Filipino, I'm a bit excited of what Casimero could bring to take down the Japanese boxing prodigy.


I think being a trashralker is Casimero's trying to build as a trademark just like other foreign boxers. He's trying to build a different personality that is different from other boxers from the Philippines. However, we shouldn't underestimate Inoue because as we've seen in his previous fights, he's a giant in the ring.

But it's very unusual for a Filipino to be a trash talker because English is not our first language, hehehe. Filipinos are known to not talk that much but show their skills inside the boxing ring. Yes, he can be brandish because he have the power punch and can knock out anyone in his division, even Inoue and Donaire.

Maybe Casimero is following Conor's trash talking his way to the top.  Grin
On this industry then trash talks are just adding up some spice to make it more interesting and getting the fight into that kind of hype and since this is considered a business then they would really need for the fight
to sell that well.
Its just a personal point of view or impression since there are people whom do really love trashtalking but there are people who doesnt just mind off and just simply eager to look on whats the fight outcome.

Filipino fighters or boxers are really capable off and lets see if he could really handle up Inoue.
2610  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading involvement on: August 22, 2021, 09:59:15 PM
Usually, people who doesnt believe in crypto will only believe you when you withdraw or buy something huge with them. Or maybe under influence of their friend they will believe. Most of the time these people joins at the top of crypto or ATH.
To see is to believe!

This had been a common behavior that people would just believe on what they would be currently seeing and this is where high hopes and anticipations do really happen and when the reality slap their faces then
this is where frustration do happens.

When you do step your foot into this feirce market then you should really be prepared.Expect the unexpected for this thing happen so that you would really be aware on
what would be your possible back up plans.
2611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 22, 2021, 08:57:40 PM
It would really be much more better if he had some good records or impressions on the time
he do make out some retirement and wont really be ending up just like an ordinary boxer on where people do have that  feeling that he had just retired as a loser and not a great boxer.
Well, Pacquiao's boxing career is a whole different level compare to others, he set lots of world records in his prime that no one can achieve asides him, even at age the of 40 can still KO an opponent years younger than him, and sets as the oldest welterweight fighter/champion on boxing, funny but he sets that record as well.^^

It's just that age affects his movements, and having leg cramps while fighting is too painful, and that should be a sign for him to resign for good.

There's nothing he can do to improve, he already gives his best, it's just that through time, he cannot get back his old strength anymore. If we look at the Thurman fight when he got tired in the late rounds, we saw something that we didn't see when he was still in his prime.
We cannot make him stop and he's the only one would really know on when he would hanging out his gloves and he might not really thinking off about more money on  more fights but rather engaging through boxing
because it is his passion to have.

I cant really blame out people who would pursue even they do know they are on the verge of the ending up of their legacy but still continuing just because they do really love boxing very much.

He's the only one do know on whats the condition of his own body and if he do find out that he's not able to fight that well or according to his own judgement then thats the time he would hang his gloves.
2612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: August 20, 2021, 01:14:36 PM
Just read this on social media and it seems that this tweet exchange of Tete and Inoue confirmed that this fight between Inoue and Casimero won't push through. Damn, Bob Arum is up to something and would not let his future cash cow's career be dented by Casimero  Smiley.

snip

So with the above statement of Inoue, i have to lock this thread for good in a few hours.

So it turns out that Bob Arum wont really let Inoue for him to fight Casimero.Is it that theyre afraid that Casimero would able to beat him? or they do really just letting the hype even more deeper to sale more tickets?

It seems that Inoue is really that interested but as long the management or promoter doesnt say so then he wont really have any choice but to deal with it.

That's why a lot of fighters leave under the promotion of Bob Arum because he wants to control the fighter and does not give them the fight that they want.  Manny Pacquiao's career is very successful because of Bob Arum but he has to left bob arum so he can fight anyone he likes and maybe that's the reason why he became the 8th division world champion. If Inoue would like to follow the footsteps of Manny Pacquiao he should always accept any challenges as long as it in his division, no excuses.
For sure he would if he do find out that it is really way too strict on selecting out possible opponents but it seems he isnt prepared on doing that for now but i wont be surprised if he would really making out some
decision on leaving Arum.

If they would see soo much demand with Casimero vs Inoue then he might consider on pushing it to happen but lets take this a pinch of salt because we dont know
on whats up to their minds.

2614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Patience is important on: August 20, 2021, 10:48:51 AM
Patience is virtue and traders have to think twice about the possible outcomes on trading. Especially volatile markets can be tricky due to manipulation by crypto whales, we have to carefully check each possibility before deciding to trade.
But patience on the sense where you dont exaggerate too much because it would really leave out some regrets if you had done it wrong.Patience is important because you wont really be rushing off things

when making out decision because once you do rush up yourself into something like rushing on making profits then that would really derail you into the right path of pure deep analysis even though theres no such thing

about precise analysis but at least you could really able to tell that you are doing something good and appropriate rather than on making out actions without any basis,.
2615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: August 20, 2021, 09:55:52 AM
We all knew that Pacquiao's greatest strength when it comes to boxing is his speed and I guess this feature of him didn't change even his aged now.

despite the guy being fast and having a lot of fighting experience, his age can be one of his weaknesses for this fight against Ugas, I'm particularly of the opinion that for this fight the two have equal chances of winning.


There's no man would be still on tip top shape when he's already aging.There would be performance that will deteriorate and i agree that these both guys have equal chances of wining.

Speed is indeed his specialty but also power puncher too basing off with this career stats and greatness then i cant really blame out people on why they do have that common impression.

Wont really be that a bad idea when you do consider on betting on the other side.

2616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is the price of Bitcoin variable and can it stabilize? on: August 19, 2021, 11:43:17 PM
Hi I am Ali and this is my first post on Bitcoin Talk.
Because the bitcoin economy is new, its new nature, and sometimes illiquid markets, the price of Bitcoin can increase or fall unforeseenly in a short period of time. But with the increase in liquidity, this market can gain public trust, as can Fiat currencies, even though it is not of a physical nature.
Talking about stability or trying to make it similar to fiat then its really totally different story and volatility is one of the most common characteristics on why bitcoin had been loved soo much specially by those investors.

If you dont like volatility then this investment or market wont really be just for you and better stick with fiat or other stabilized currencies out there. If you do like to dive in into this market then deal with the volatility.

Take advantage of it and you would really be making off your profits but of course there would always be some accompanied risk behind.

2617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Economic Costs of Gambling on: August 19, 2021, 11:15:57 PM
When they are ready to take the risk then they also should face the consequences if the results went negative.
There is no choice.
No risk, no reward and this is gambling. The consequences are permanently there and there is no way to alter it. Losing it will make him think that he has to do it again.

Actually, when deciding to enter the crypto world, especially the gambling world, we must be ready for the risks. Every decision will always involve risks.
That is why we must know and understand exactly how to manage the risks in order to minimize the risks of losing.
If we have known about the risks, but we don't learn yet, only follow somebody else, not even trying to learn from its experience in gambling, the risks will be higher.
You are right that no risks, no rewards. If we don't take the risks, we may not get what we want. But if we want to take the risks, we must know how to minimize the risk, at least, how to avoid the condition in that risks.
Maximizing risk in the sense that you wont really needing to go too far on such decisions which might cause for you to go on things which would be more risky and might result into being wrecked with gambling.

You should be aware with that risk and wont tending to deal or make yourself get addicted because once you do get shackled with addiction then this is where hard problem do rise up.

Addiction could result into various possible bad decisions which would really be the reason for you to get the situation makes even more worst.
2618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Small capital and Big capital on: August 19, 2021, 09:12:04 PM
Small capital = small gains
Big capital = huge gains
[snip]
Well, this is true of course, --if you put a huge capital it could be the result of a huge gain after all. Buat in trading it need not be greedy, it does not matter if you will earn a small profit each trading as long as it is successively will happen. We must always think that trading is very risky if we put a huge capital make it sure that is the amount is what you can afford. Not all traders need up with a huge gain, most of them suffered from huge losses. I have rather choose small losses but it gains me more experience in trading which is if next time will happen at least you know already.
Yeah it does depend all the time but to now that there are people who does have bigger capital do still make use of smaller lot sizes or position or trade amounts which it do result into smaller amounts of profits too
despite on having a bigger capital.Not all could really risk up that high because whenever on making some risk trading decision then it would vary or do talk about bigger capital been used.

You could really tell the differences but we know that not all will really be that the same in terms of capacity in financial aspect so we would really see different scenarios on here.

2619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who where how much withdrew from no deposit on: August 19, 2021, 06:14:42 PM
Well, there are casinos that won't even allow you to withdraw a cent before you deposit. I had a similar bad experience at TrustDice earlier, when I was tipped by a chatter and managed to roll it nicely to a decent amount to withdraw. Once I tried to withdraw, I was told that you cannot withdraw unless you have at least deposit some money and rolled it over 1x minimum.

blackjack.fun offers pretty good bonuses, for those who have followed it, and have left quite good reviews, many of them have withdrawn the sign-up bonus without the need to make a deposit first. even then when having luck exceeds the minimum withdrawal.

Different casinos operate in different ways! It's a fact that many people trying to abuse all kinds of free coins they get from casinos and in the casino, some of the casinos are trying to fight against this, and some are pretty flexible!
I support strict rules about this matter, I don't like it when people abuse giveaways of any kind! It's nice to have fun, but there's no need for making zillion accounts just to earn few bucks, I don't understand why people are doing that, it's more a waste of time in my opinion than the money they earn in that way!
There would really be those abusers who are trying to milk out a particular site on whatever bonuses or freebies that they could able to sniff on.Of course gambling owners are really aware on this one and this isnt a

charity that they would really be letting those leak of funds since they could really make money if there's some chances.They are indeed versatile and could really make out some adjustments on whatever
things that would really be harming out their businesses.

This had been always an issue wayback but i havent seen it to be that rampant nowadays.
2620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch introduces restrictions on gambling-related links - deadline 17 Aug on: August 19, 2021, 03:34:51 PM
only questionable gambling sites ? if it is then this can do good more than bad to the crypto gambling community but the restriction only applies to the gambling site that has those three games namely slots , roulete and dice ? but why .
 it does mean that questionable gambling sites that have games that are not in the list can still continue ? oh no .
Totally, but the problem is that the content creators that they are sponsoring will be affected albeit it could be a temporary and I think that most of them are definitely small time so it's going to hit hard for those people to have their sponsors removed from them, hopefully Twitch can find a way to make things right for this one.
There might be some adjustments but i do see that they wont really be taking back decisions in regards to this.They would really imposing restrictions on things which they do saw that it could really affect their service
integrity.

If there would be some complaints about gambling related links or something like that then its just normal that even any platform will really be making appropriate action.

Its up to theirs if they would really be reverting it back or would really stick out into it and there would be those who got mainly affected.
