2821  Economy / Economics / Re: Dont just borrow money but for the right reason on: December 22, 2021, 02:26:21 AM
Borrowing money is as simple as counting 1-2-3 however paying it back is not as easy as you are portraying in writing up. The interest rates, principle amount, your daily expenses, profits all calculations needs to be done before you step out.
This. It's not just an issue of "borrowing" money. The first step is easy, but all the prior steps regarding it have a bunch of stuff that's there to make paying it back a LOT harder. That's why if you're going to borrow money, you already have to do your calculations just from that part. But there's also taking into account the various unexpected circumstances so really, taking a loan is a lot harder than it seems.

You’re right, Metaverse is a very good investment. It’s an investment that would be worth considering, because there are millions of dollars being invested every day, although I can’t say for sure whether it  would be bigger than BTC. When you talk about being bigger, do you mean the Metaverse platforms combined, or just a one platform itself? For example, there are different metaverse platforms and to mention a few of them, there are Decentraland, The Sandbox, and Axie Infinity. I don’t think any of these platforms itself would be able to become bigger than bitcoin in future, but in combination? Maybe.
The amount of investments coming through is indeed one thing to consider when finding good investments, but its long-term capability should be the one most noted upon. Honestly, I don't think it'd even boom past a few years, It's going to stay alright, but it won't be a leading type kind of thing.
2822  Economy / Gambling / Re: This is why I love this forum...and we should make it more powerful on: December 21, 2021, 12:12:17 PM
I just visited their official thread and it seemed like their reason was they "mistook" OP's withdrawal request for something else, OP might want to quote that at the end just to make sure that everyone is in context of what happened after they paid him. Still, as OP has said, who knows, his withdrawal may not have gone through without posting it here. Or maybe who knows, the mod may have just made a mistake after all, to err is human after all.

Although it is odd, I just visited their site and it seems like their help page is down or something though, it's not linked to anything.

Isn't the withdrawal limit plus the fact that you're having technical issues already a red flag for the casino? Honestly, I'd just let it sit there for now and then try withdrawing within the next few weeks or so, but if issues still persist the money may just be lost already imo. There's also the weird withdrawal procedure, even if we do say that there are no KYC requirements, the way they limit withdrawals is kind of weird. There's also the fact that it's using Dogecoin as its main currency it seems?

I did it, the application has not been processed until this time.
In the morning I wrote to the support, they say, why did not you process the withdrawal request, to which they began to respond, that you ran into the limit, we can not help you, and simply ignore yesterday's promises.
Kinda sus, might be best for you to save sc's of your convos with customer supports every time you try to bring withdrawals up, just to be sure.
2824  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When Turtles Sell, Whales Acquire on: December 21, 2021, 02:01:46 AM
Well because whales have more financial capability to actually invest and take advantage of every opportunity possible, even if the risks are the same with others. "They have the money anyway, why wouldn't they spend it?" Kind of mentality. And with that greater financial capability, the profits they could gain would be far more than your average trader. After all, it is pretty hard for low income traders to actually see their own money, even if they considered it as something they can lose, gradually drop down to less than before they invested it in.
2825  Economy / Economics / Re: NFT and art theft on: December 20, 2021, 02:29:43 PM
See the thing is, these things have been happening since time immemorial, people take advantage and you can't decide who is the owner, at last we have a tool that can help us label the owner and give him his rights, he would own his own art.
And that's probably why the entire thing turned into a big joke. NFT's were something that was supposed to let artists have ownership over their artworks, but in the end, it still allows for plagiarism to be a thing, and as you said, others could still add a small change towards artworks and call it their own. If that's allowed and considered as 'original artwork', then wouldn't the value of the original artists' work drop? Honestly, the NFT market is just being run by hype right now imo.
2826  Economy / Economics / Re: Sharing and helping others on: December 20, 2021, 12:13:20 PM
I no longer go around preaching crypto to people, I make them see how successful I have become by trading crypto and leave the decision whether to join or not to them.
Probably because you have it in the wrong order? Show them first how successful you are in crypto and then preach it. After all, people's interests are best caught when they themselves have something to be interested in it, and what better thing to showcase to them other than the fact that one could make money off of crypto? Just that well, that preach should have some warnings in order since it is well, you know, crypto. Most of the time activities here are zero-sum, and most victims involve those who are new so letting people know about it should be a priority.
2827  Economy / Economics / Re: Advice for the season. on: December 20, 2021, 06:19:12 AM
Don't bend to societal pressure of over spending during this festive season, make serious plans for the celebrations and the coming year, Don't fall into the trap or bend to the pressure of selling off a percentage of your cryptos to  spend this festive season, a new year is coming. January is usually a long month that carries along a lot of expenses, make plans and preparations now for tomorrow, spend wisely today.
Just don't believe in FUDs and don't fall for FOMO's. Easy to say though tbh, just that finding those FUDs and FOMOs is actually the hard part. That's why DYOR, and judge for yourself what you should do, no need to pressure yourself into following others though if that's what you're go-to strat is, then be my guest. Though really the safest option here is to invest what you can afford to lose so that even if everything goes to hell, you'd still be able to live yourself pretty well without having many worries about debts and whatnot.
2828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Data-driven or Emotional driven Bitcoin holder? on: December 19, 2021, 09:45:23 AM
Isn't the reason why people hodl is because they believe the value of the asset is still far from what it currently is? I don't believe emotions or data has something to relate with that, though data may be argued about, it is still honestly something that won't really be used since well, you're judging something off in the future. Emotion on the other hand, I don't even think holders would consider emotion when holding, after all, a volatile market could cause an emotional person to have impulsive judgments.
2829  Economy / Speculation / Re: Some important things about Bitcoin. on: December 19, 2021, 07:06:12 AM
You literally just converted the chart into words and said the most obvious thing one could say with regards to the crypto market.
From my point of view, it seems that the market will rise and fall. If the condition of the market is good then the price of coin will increase. If the market is bad then the price of coin will decrease. This is easy and normal.
That's quite natural, Crypto general is a VERY volatile market, ups and downs are the norms. As you said, it is normal, but not easy (probably easy to understand, but easy to take advantage of? That depends on your skill). Still title seems to be wrong, it's more like Bitcoin market charts turned into words, would probably be a better fit.
2830  Economy / Economics / Re: How far is bitcoin from full adoption (100% mass adoption)? on: December 19, 2021, 04:53:07 AM
If you were to define adoption to being used by most people as a medium, just like how usd or rather any fiat out there is, then it'd be highly difficult to actually give an accurate answer. After all, that requires you to gather info about it in the WHOLE world, not to mention that adoption isn't as simple as 1 + 1 imo. Though it is pretty much sure that we're still far off from being adopted to the point just like how fiat is, questions that require accuracy though are on a whole different matter imo.

Besides, if we were to consider how Bitcoin is more of a self bank, a lot of people would shy away from it since they much prefer centralization to it.
2831  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Unfair and unethical. on: December 18, 2021, 02:36:56 PM
I had an account (which is closed) on Stake.com where I was Platinum 3 and am at 83% to Platinum IV and at that time I had no idea that you could get VIP benefits from a VIP Host something I did not know anything about . I have wasted a lot that time.
Pretty sure it was your fault for not knowing it? I mean I don't think stake is withholding information of their VIP benefits to their users right? I mean that'd probably end up in a loss for them in the long term, and they might as well just remove the VIP benefits in the end.

I have searched for articles online and found this here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5365985

Here, the user has the opportunity to withdraw funds from their account even if the account was closed.
The issue was resolved as you can see in the title, I don't think that should even be presented as proof of stake is a bad casino, just calm down and contact their customer support or their thread here and converse properly.
2832  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin full integration in payment systems on: December 18, 2021, 11:11:33 AM
So many companies are gradually adopting Bitcoin into their payment system and this has led to the development of various software that will work to connect to the Bitcoin network (blockchain) but this development have encounter various challenges which prompt me to seek to know when can a company be fully integrated in it Bitcoin payment.
Well if they know what they're doing and are generally neutral about Bitcoin (they see it simply as an additional medium, that's it), then I guess they can implement it? Though in the end companies seek profits first and foremost, so bringing that into account, you should probably look at how companies would actually take advantage of adding Bitcoin to their payment processors, and only then would you have the answer of would they even integrate it or not.
2833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing with dices on: December 18, 2021, 05:48:18 AM
So wait, if you're only using that set amount of doge to bet and taking all the winnings to a vault which would remain unspent, it'd be a constant expenditure of 150-200 dogecoins per day, while the profit would remain unknown? And assuming that you did something with counting the maximum losses so that it stops at 16 losses in a row, the eventual result is that the script is for limiting the losses, that's it, it doesn't guarantee profit or anything like that.

Honestly isn't any long-term betting considered a loss due to the house edge? Or am I missing something?
2834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fear is not Real. on: December 18, 2021, 02:35:19 AM
It's very much real though? The only reason Bitcoin hodling is still a positive idea is that most people believe in the fact that Bitcoin still has much to offer than what it has right now. I mean just look at how FOMO and FUD affect everyone's belief, if that wasn't fear, then what the hell is fear? In fact, acknowledging fear means that you understand whatever it is that you are investing in (Except when you FOMO ofc, that's just greediness imo, invest at your own pace). Ignoring your fear means what you're doing is simply gambling imo.
2835  Economy / Economics / Re: Sharing and helping others on: December 17, 2021, 01:55:01 PM
Unfortunately, they have to be open to actually learning before you even help them. It's like that in most scenarios tbf, just like how school is there to teach everyone but the only successful ones from there really are the ones who want to learn (not to say everyone has to go to school to be successful, just an example). Honestly, with the current era of the internet, it's not even a matter of finding information, it's a matter of finding ones that would prove useful to whatever endeavor you're going to look for.
2836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice Scripts on: December 17, 2021, 08:05:38 AM
At most dice scripts would enable you to set bets with the parameters that you want but it ultimately won't influence the results of a session if the casino itself had a provably fair system. So really, if you're looking for scripts because you want to cheat your way to win and earn money, stop, it's not gonna work, you're just gonna get scammed. And if the said person who sells it shows proof, it's probably just a self-developed casino or something, nothing concrete imo. Now if you were simply looking to automate dice betting, most casinos should have that kind of feature built-in already, no need to look/use scripts.
2837  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What did you buy with crypto? on: December 17, 2021, 06:23:43 AM
I bought a keyboard once with it, that was probably the only physical product I've spent Bitcoin with (and that was a few years ago iirc). Nowadays I just use it to pay hostings for my websites as well as VPNS that I use for playing games. On that note does gambling count? I've had a few sessions here and then when I want to do some stress relief and I mostly use crypto casinos now compared to other casinos (together with sports betting).
2838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice speculation thread on: December 16, 2021, 12:25:24 PM
No need to ask just look at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5376182.0. Thread is about slots mainly though but I'm pretty sure both games are pretty much the same, in that they don't require any strategies, no thinking, no whatever, just blind luck, especially if it was online. There may be possibilities of manipulation in dice if it was real (though idk if it's really possible, you know the one where they control how the dice moves inside with precise shaking) but other than that, there's really no strategy whatsoever. It's a luck-based game thorough and thorough, no doubt about that.
2839  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the market going to dump like that 2018? on: December 16, 2021, 11:03:08 AM
Only red lights have been burning in the market for several days now. Many have investing and lost a lot. I have lost a lot by investing myself. I don't really understand which way the market is going or will go. What do you suggest in such a situation? 
What do you think YOU can do in this situation? If you can't hold through at such a bloody time then you might as well quit while ahead. If you can handle the loss though, then just keep going. A simple investment strategy involves not investing in one coin after all, so spread them out if you haven't so that losses in one coin won't affect you that bad. Honestly, even if you're in the negative I recommend not to sell, it just highlights the fact that you lost the trade. Just keep hodling. Slow and steady wins the race, no need to rush.
2840  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If I had bought bitcoin 10 years ago, I would have been a millionaire: Not true on: December 16, 2021, 08:26:46 AM
If you had bought Bitcoin 10 years ago AND forgot all about it, you might have been a millionaire, would probably sound more realistic tbh. Realistic investors would mostly want to double or triple their investments as op have said, and would probably buy in every now and then at dumps and sell in pumps. Still, idk if that kind of process would actually reveal that one would be a millionaire or not, though I reckon he'd have a pretty sizeable profit by then if he continued doing so from start to today.
