We have been experiencing these bans and proclaiming that bitcoin is illegal in some countries. Did that able to stop the entire bitcoin network and as well as the other projects network? No.
That means, whether it will be from the US or any other country. The impact will be there as shock for the first time but that won't mean in the long term because if it's about the market and usability, it will recover and will remain.
2702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons why people avoid KYC in gambling casino ? on: July 04, 2022, 10:34:34 PM
Definitely right, some users who don’t want to comply with the KYC still fall as a victim of the hackers and I’m thinking if KYC can really help users to be more secured. I’m ok with filling up personal information, but I’m hesitant to provide any documents for some security purposes, and honestly as much as possible I still prefer to gamble without filling up any KYC.
It can help when it times of withdrawals and they're verified. Withdrawals that are unauthorized being detected by the system, they're going to delay it.
Especially those that has automatic withdrawals and don't go through manual process, that will be one big part to play for the kyc when their system caught someone trying to withdraw your money unauthorized.
2703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 04, 2022, 04:53:23 PM
That won't change everything. We are talking about a gambling addict and not a regular one. They won't satisfy with play money as they are used to playing on real money. That craving you are talking about can't be applied here as what I said, the gambler is already in addiction and trying to recover.

Playing at play money is not a good idea for these types of gamblers.

It won't help them to recover but rather they will just miss playing at real gambling.
At least for those that are not yet addicted but looking to have fun, this is for them. Zero cost and they get to enjoy the entertainment value being offered through play money.


Even though this really depends on everyone's thinking but still I still feel that no one will be satisfied with this even though it could be 1:100 or maybe even more because in essence there is a special pleasure in gambling that is not something that can be obtained from money toys there.
Even if we win in large numbers it still will not provide pleasure and this only exacerbates the ambition of the addict.
Maybe, a few from the hundred and there will still be. Even we win with play money, there's really no value at all so there's no quantity whether it's big or small winning if they're all fake.

You've got the boat and I think that's still something big to consider despite you've sold mostly at that time. Looking back at that date, you're an achiever and not everyone is able to do that. Although looking at those quantities right now despite we're in a correction, that's a lot and we  always get to compare past and present.
But that's really our lives, we get to have a day for selling and buying things that we want. I just wish you all the best and hopefully, you'll continue to be at best shape since you're already back on track.

Sujonali announces that there will be no more spot open for the Blackjack.fun signature campaign due to the condition of the market. He hasn't changed the title of the thread yet into CFNP although those are enough words to understand the status of the campaign.

No open slots. (due to market condition I don't want to increase the user list right now)
2706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Common Types of Bonuses Offered by Online Casinos on: July 03, 2022, 11:06:39 PM
Usually what everyone likes is the new deposit bonus for the new casinos. It is also what's being cheated and that's why some of the casinos has to disable that bonus for new users. I think there's also that type of bonus that you have nothing to lose if you bet for specific team that's being chosen by the bookie. I've seen that type of bonus but I've forgotten the entire mechanics.
2707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 03, 2022, 10:04:40 PM
That seems to be it. There's no potential on it because there's no actual value being put into it, yes, you will enjoy but if the potential that we'll be seeing from it isn't the one that we used to have with the typical way of gambling.
It's just for having the familiarity of the game and if you're okay to do that again and again, there's nothing wrong and no one can beat you with that and you still have your money with you.

You will just make yourself want to gamble more because anything might happen especially when you hitting much huge win on using free apps for sure it will urge the user to gamble using real money. And this free apps is not totally helping because it teach more on how to gamble and how they can familiarize the game so for me this option is not good to do if you want to quit on this activity.
That depends on your crave, if you're totally satisfied with gambling with play money then you're good at it. But it's true that if you're not satisfied and you want to gamble for real, it's just going to increase your desire to gamble more with real money.
There's no sense that you hit the jackpot but it's just play money and you want thrilling reality if that's a real money that's good to be cashed out.

If I have the capability of investing into all of them, I'll do it. But the reality for me is that, I'm only for bitcoin and a few alts that I'm good of disposing money.
I saw that news about Uganda that they've discovered huge amount of gold deposits ready to be explored. My worry for that country is that, it's possible that their citizens won't benefit from it if they allow a foreign explorer and company to dig it up.

Happy 80th birthday, Jet!
Whenever really the oil price hikes, everything is affected. I believe that this won't be staying at the top forever and there will be also the decrease for its price over time. We just don't know when exactly that will come but that's what I want to believe and that's the same as the markets. The factor with its continuous increase is due to the war, so, I wish that it'll end soon so that we all going to benefit once its down and decreases in price.
2710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Phil Mickelson Opens Up About Losing MILLIONS From Gambling on: July 02, 2022, 10:55:31 PM
I've seen gamblers that have lost all, everything that they have because they cannot control themselves any longer. That's why they've got into debt, lost their properties, savings, car and even their partners.
It's a shame that they have to lose everything that they can and realizes it only at the end that they no longer have everything. But, I also saw those stories of those gamblers that have been in that situation and then retrieved themselves and got a better life and they've recovered.

There is a saying that you'll never know what is the worth of something unless you lost it.  At least the guy didn't end his life, if he does then it is the end of everything.  Whatever losses we had, financially, in career, in love life, or whatever, the best thing is going back up.  It is a great thing to admit mistakes, and ask for help and advice from professional and medical experts if needed. 

I wholely agree that anyone who recovered from severe losses becomes a better person.  Since they know how they get there, they are able to prevent themselves from repeating the same mistakes.  Just like this song said What Doesn't Kill You Make you stronger
That saying is true. Since you've mentioned about life, I've also seen those news that they've taken their own lives because they can no longer bear the loss that they've made.
It's sad and at the same time worrying that it's truly happening even if you're not from that area and a life is a life. Hopefully, that most gamblers will be responsible for all of their actions and that's what they're going to think first before doing something that's regrettable forever.
2711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 02, 2022, 09:56:57 PM
Do you mean like Demo Trading in some certain trading exchange? So, you are still gambling but using fake money? Well, this seems similar to playing casual games only, not gambling. I don't think that a gambler will like this moreover if those gamblers are gambling to earn money. They will prefer to use the real money to get the money and then be able to cash out.
However, it may be different for gamblers than gambling only for fun, this may be. But moreover for the addicted gamblers? This will not work, because they love the money through gambling.
That seems to be it. There's no potential on it because there's no actual value being put into it, yes, you will enjoy but if the potential that we'll be seeing from it isn't the one that we used to have with the typical way of gambling.

2712  Economy / Economics / Re: Current war and banks rate hikes correlation on: July 02, 2022, 11:50:46 AM
Current war might be stop and russia ukraine will go pause or maybe make peace agreement.
IMHO, we're still quite far from seeing the end of the war of Russia and Ukraine. With the last news that I've seen, Finland is about to step in.
When money supply stops there is no money for war.
There is still, and tremendous of money is being made when there's a war and everybody knows about that. The rates will continue to hike and it seems unstoppable but I believe that there's an end on it but for now, we're not yet seeing it.
2713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Educate my community here in Subdivision about Bitcoin on: July 02, 2022, 09:00:41 AM
Be prepared to the positive and negative output. As you have a good will to teach or at least educate people in your place about bitcoin, you can start by handing out brochures and it's gonna be hard at the beginning but I'm sure that you'll meet people that are already into it.
That's a good start that you have and if a few of them has been already a bitcoin investor, you can start a community in your area. Although expect also that most of them will choose to remain lowkey.
2714  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it possible that all cryptocurrency will become regulated? on: July 01, 2022, 11:14:43 PM
If all will be regulated, it's no longer working the purpose of what cryptocurrencies are. But that's just a fact that we're be there someday and yet, it's not the cryptocurrencies that they'll be regulating but the platforms where most trades are happening.
And this is happening actually already even before you've asked it. Well, it's for most of the exchanges that they're regulating and if you consider that as the actual regulation of crypto, it's your point of view. But for me, it's just part of a business establishment that should be done.

The important thing is that there are no more mistakes in sending money to the destination account so that no one will be tempted to use money that doesn't belong to them.
That will for sure won't happen again, they have that tag already on the system that will avoid future mistakes specifically to that person again.
But if later there is still an error sending money to someone else's account, hopefully the recipient of the money does not use money that does not belong to him but reports it to the bank concerned so that it will not trigger other problems.
They'll be more careful this time and I think it will never happen again and if it happens again, the person who has done it will be heavily penalized. Just like what this guy did to the fund, whoever is the recipient if this goes again in the future, they don't know where it might be used.

Not just in gambling but sometimes, these people have to experience the worst-case scenario of their life before turning into responsible and disciplined people.

The same as those people who got scammed, they will never learn what to do next if they didn't experience anything bad. The worst experience is one of the very effective recipes for forming a good foundation for our experience. Without that bad experience, the progress won't be smooth along the way.

After all, if we just experience winning, we will never think in our life of stopping or moderating our gambling activity.
Well said and that's truth about life. There's no feeling of having the great moments of winning if you never gone through despair and losing a lot.
You'll finally able to realize that whatever you have right now, you must be grateful to it. And to these people that have lost a lot of buck speaks well of themselves and surely have learned the lessons and they're applying it to themselves.

While the others find it crazy with his decisions of buying bitcoin. But someday, they'll come and see and will tell their sorry about what they've said about this man.
I know it's crazy that his country is part of his decision making but he's trying to prove that someday, this investment and bet that he's making will be worthwhile and beneficial to his country and countrymen.

Do not forget about the control and also the amount that you're dedicating to gamble. Do not pass that rule you've made that you're only allowed to spend this xx much for your gambling needs. And if you did pass that, there's only one sign that you need to remember and that is you need to stop. It's not only Phil that has this tremendous loss and they're regretting that they should have never pass that and afraid to tell it to the public because they think that it's embarassing.
Regret do always come in the end which does simply means that if you dont like to suffer huge financial losses then you should really be that aware or setting out border lines or limits whenever you do really tend to touch

up gambling.You could really lost lots of money or the worst you would lost it all, there's no such thing about millions because losses could really be an endless line if you do tolerate that greed of yours.

You could lose all of the things you do possess in life you do tolerate that gambling addiction of yours.If you dont like for it to happen then you should really need to have that good control.
I've seen gamblers that have lost all, everything that they have because they cannot control themselves any longer. That's why they've got into debt, lost their properties, savings, car and even their partners.
It's a shame that they have to lose everything that they can and realizes it only at the end that they no longer have everything. But, I also saw those stories of those gamblers that have been in that situation and then retrieved themselves and got a better life and they've recovered.

Money is indeed the world's temptation that can undermine people's belief and trust in being a good person and that person has done it. But then, he had accepted it and had already decided to pay back what he had gambled before. This is a lesson for us not to use money that doesn't belong to us.
It's always been a norm that don't use whatever isn't yours or if it doesn't belong to you. It's a shame if you've been using something like money that don't belong to you and you have left with nothing. As the case of OP, well, there could some other mistakes that might happen in the future and it will depend on them if they'll do the same thing but hopefully, they'll not touch any of it for them to be free from any trouble.

Gambling is very risky and we should be ready to bear the consequences if we eventually make loses due to our pattern of gambling. As a gambler, we need to have good knowledge of what we are gambling on so to avoid loses and any attempt that will derange our quest for gambling. I think he was able to make loses as a result of selfishness and not paying good attention to how he needs to gambler especially when we are having consistent loses.
Do not forget about the control and also the amount that you're dedicating to gamble. Do not pass that rule you've made that you're only allowed to spend this xx much for your gambling needs.
