Well, there are also many people who play poker as if they were playing slots, without having studied at all. They just know the basic rules of the gambling and little else. They are known as recreational players or fish, from which regular and professional players profit.

In the case of poker it is very difficult for them to have a big win with little risk.  For them they would have to win a multi-table tournament and besides being very lucky they would have to spend many hours playing.

I mean that companies like Amazon could never have been created and developed in the EU, in the same way that a company like Google could not have done it. When it has been developed and seen how it works, the EU lets it operate, but regulatory and union pressure would never have allowed such companies to prosper by being created from scratch in the old continent.

These companies have been able to thrive from nothing because they were born in an environment of few regulations, which is not the case in the EU.

We can expect nothing to be honest. He is a very smart guy, but like all very smart guys he also makes mistakes. Now he has become bearish, consistent with the current situation. Let's see what he said not long ago:

Michael Saylor goes nuts: he predicts a $15 million Bitcoin price.

His predictions have the same credibility as any others we may see in this section.

 

Not really. If you talk to me about money laundering from people who kidnap or extort, I am against that and I think we all will be. But if we are talking about someone who has done work on the internet, for example designing web pages, and has not declared the profits because he lives in a country of high taxes and high political spending (which he is against), raising a good capital that he then launders, I am not against it.


That's right.Companies like Amazon can never emerge in the EU because of the regulatory tangle.


It's funny because I was thinking that, regarding the privacy debate, which is very much in vogue. It probably has to do with history and culture.

The American settlers had a lot of privacy when they lived alone with their family, bible and rifle, and no one else for miles around. What they didn't have was a social life. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

With casinos and gambling, it has happened as in other spheres of our lives: they have become digitalized. Although it is still possible to bet live, online gambling has taken market share from live gambling and is growing steadily, as people can bet 24/7 from their cell phones.


Well, although it is not the same, online casinos also have a social aspect through chat.

Normally, when faced with questions like that, the first thing I do is look it up on the internet. According to what I see, it is more likely to happen in Live Dealer casinos, but not in the rest, because of what was explained before:



So, I wouldn't worry too much. If in doubt, read their TOS or even ask them.

A friend of mine works in a casino (land-based) and he told me yesterday that there was a client who with a stroke of luck won a good amount, about $8k. He exchanged the chips for cash and went home. After about half an hour, my friend sees him walk back in the door and went on a gambling binge all the night, only to end up losing his winnings and more.

At the end of the session he signed the self-exclusion.

If it weren't for the fact that this person is going through a drama, the story would make you want to laugh.

Has this ever happened to you or do you know of cases like this?

I don't know why you waste your time explaining this on socialistalk.org.

Few are those in the forum who express a libertarian vision, it is a thing that caught my attention some time ago and I opened a related thread

Socialists in Bitcoin(talk).



Not a chance. The rich are bad, we need more state, more regulations, teach children from a young age that there are 72 genders they can choose from and change them as they feel like it, etc.

No, I'm not just thinking of professionals, and it's something I've explained repeatedly. Twice in this thread. I am not a professional player, I am a regular player, known also as "reg" and I have earned money playing poker for years, which complements the money I earn with my main job and other sources of income, like the signature campaigns here.

So you don't have to be a pro to make money in poker.


LOL.

Yes, you better not play poker.

I haven't reached Legendary yet, but almost, because I am Hero and I have enough merits to reach the next level. What can happen is that the lower ranked members, if they write in a decent way, the fellow forum members help them to rank up by giving them a bunch of merits all at once. That happened to me several times, even when I was a few short of 1,000, which is the merit requirement for Legendary. From then on, nobody will "help" you, and it's logical, now you have to help those who still have ranks to climb.

But other than that, it is clear that as has been amply shown in this thread, the Legendarys receive the most merit.

No.

If we were in other forums, after the word I have written above, but as in this forum there is a great concern for quality and a single word can be considered low value I will tell you that not in your dreams I will exchange Bitcoin for the shitcoin of the banks:

"Ripple collaborates with financial institutions worldwide; more than 100 financial institutions have joined RippleNet, including: Santander (USA) Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (Canada) Kotak Mahindra Bank (India)"

AWS Partner Profile: Ripple

In my case, not yet, but I am thinking about it. I do DCA and I think that times like this are good to buy because we should be close to the bottom. The $20k has proven to be a strong support, because when we have gone below that mark we have not been slow to go back up. 

Although I would not rule out that as the situation stands, with the Fed's policies that have severely affected the stock market (although bitcoin remains around $20k) and that will cause unemployment and deepen the recession; the price of bitcoin will fall below $17k.

If that happens, I'm going to do some extra buying.

I don't really know that market very well, but I think you are exaggerating a bit. If a review site gives positive reviews of scam sites, it will soon lose credibility.

The most normal thing is that it is biased towards some sites with which it has agreements but which are legitimate, so it generates traffic to those sites and receives revenue.

In my case I have never used review sites. I prefer to inform myself on the forum and try it myself. 

I don't think so. And I wouldn't bet on it unless they gave me a gigantic potential return for the bet.


I also share your concerns but Cher Wang is Taiwanese, so it's debatable whether she's Chinese or not, LOL. I don't know if this will help clarify anything.

Really? He doesn't generate any revenue with the site?

We have a big project in the forum that intends to generate a lot of money with that kind of business and it seems that the niche market moves many millions.

I don't see why take the time to make the site and keep it updated and spend money to not generate revenue?

Why does he do it?

In my case, I was already quite prepared before learning about Bitcoin, as I had already been investing for a few years, and before that playing poker. If someone does not know, a chart of a winning poker player is quite similar to a chart of the stock market or the price of bitcoin, depending on the variety. The bitcoin one would be more like someone who is a winner in Sit and Go or Tournaments, while the S&P 500 one might look more like a winning cash player.

In any case, the important thing about the similarities is that they teach you that making money is not variance-free: to win you have to go through volatility and it's not a straight line upwards. There are ups and downs.

Pretty big.

I think there is a trend whereby more and more gambling ads are going to be banned around the world. In this particular case, the consequence may be that banned streamers may look for other means to continue working, but being online gambling addiction one of the fastest growing addictions and serious problems nowadays, I believe that regulations will tend to prohibit advertising it.

Done.

Thanks Hhampuz!

I tell you what happened: nothing.

You have created a thread based on speculation about what might happen in revenge for the tag. You have no proof and you have nothing. And to top it off, you base it on the fact that he is from a poor country.

You just earned another negative feedback from me. Now you can open a thread about me and what "might" happen, instead of providing proof.
