Gambling problem can happen to anyone at any given situation, and according to your post, more gamblers are spending their time during the pandemic but I still think it does not create a big problem to most of them financially as most gamblers are responsible, meaning, they are gambling for fun only.

The presence of the online gambling addiction consultation could be helpful if the gambler itself will submit himself to get some advice and be treated the addiction, whether it's new or already in the system for awhile. Personally, I have not tried this, I love to gamble online, most of the time but I'm not taking advice or seeking help online, I just don't trust them.
2822  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: "Signature Campaign" does work for marketing? on: September 05, 2020, 06:21:59 AM
We have just released our game for a few weeks and have received many invitations to help us hold the "Signature Campaign" campaign.
Honestly! Is the "Signature Campaign" does work for marketing? Huh
Good enough for your web game, then you just have to consult with the Campaign Manager about the budget, campaign duration, and the targets you want to achieve through this campaign.
It's already one over one month since the thread was created, I think OP has not decided yet to run a signature campaign. Based on the comments and suggestion, most are positive as signature campaign is a great marketing strategy to introduce a platform in the forum. Ever since I started in the forum, I've seen different signature campaigns already, different rates as well, so there's a demand, meaning it's an effective way or marketing.
2823  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not so far from getting BTC globally accepted! Pornhub now accepts BTC & LTC. ;) on: September 01, 2020, 11:56:28 PM
Great news for porn lovers, lol..

I never thought that porn industry is a big market, until I read this, How Is The Porn Industry Worth Billions Of Dollars?

Quote
A recent article published by business news site, Quartz, tends to agree. The article places the industry’s value at anywhere between $6 billion and $97 billion, with the more realistic estimates ranging from $6 billion to $15 billion.


This would create demand for bitcoin and LTC, probably billions as the porn industry is a billion dollar industry and it would be very convenient for people to pay using crypto to preserve their privacy, instead of credit card where they could be expose.
2824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Oscar De La Hoya vs Amir Khan? on: September 01, 2020, 11:44:54 PM
Personally, i think that De La Hoya should just enjoy his retirement from boxing and live his life. After all, he made his name well-known already and there's no need to prove himself once again to the public.

This will just put him into the losing end since he's already retired and his boxing match, Amir is an active boxer, not to add that he's younger. Meaning, the latter has a higher stamina and endurance than him. On the other hand, dedication and determination while practicing and on the actual fight are what matters most.

I just hope this match would be a nice fight between the two. If there are some of you who want to bet among them, make sure you assess everything not just the age, but their experience and the work they put to win as well.

I hope de la Hoya realized that boxing is not in his game anymore.
Who are we to tell him that? He knows what he is doing, and he will not choose an opponent he think would destroy him physically.
Khan is a good suspect because he has a soft chin, so maybe that's what Oscar De La Hoya is looking for, if he get this shot, game is over.

There is no reason to go back in my opinion, other than the fact that maybe money is one major reason why he wanted to get inside the ring. But yes, he should really enjoy his retirement and not be bothered by other old boxers getting exhibition fights.

Every boxer has their own reason, some just relax and enjoy their wealth they acquired during their time in boxing, but for the love of sport, some fighters like Oscar De La Hoya  are looking for a shot to fight again, and that is not only because of love by the way, that's because he think he is still capable of fighting. Give him a chance man.
2825  Economy / Speculation / Re: There Bitcoin goes again. on: September 01, 2020, 11:16:00 PM
If it holds on september, october will be the next 2017 Wink

Same as the last bull run, we need that October (1st month of the last quarter) to start a new bull run again but this time we will certainly see a new ATH higher than $20,000 if indeed the bull run will come. We are now very stable at $12,000, it's a good sign that there's no significant movement yet, maybe this time we will not fail to break another resistance again and next price would surprise us.

Good luck to us, hopefully more bullish movement of bitcoin will come.
2826  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Ethereum overpower Bitcoin in the future? Which side are you on? on: September 01, 2020, 10:43:05 PM
Bitcoin is a stand alone cryptocurrency but ethereum is a blockchain that other tokens runs on, the difference is clear and also looking at their features they are totally not the same thing, I don't think ethereum will be able to beat Bitcoin because the interest on Bitcoin is huge than that of Ethereum
of course ethereum can never beat bitcoin but other coins still have the potential to beat bitcoin, bitcoin is just an old coin and has a relatively large supply, so it will be difficult to make the price go up, so bitcoin can be defeated with coins that have supply is less than bitcoin and has a very high demand.

Bitcoin does not have a large supply compared to some altcoins which has billions of supply.

I agree, ETH can't beat bitcoin despite of the hype because Bitcoin also rises with the hype and investor's choice when the market is bearish is just to put their money on bitcoin as it's the most stable in the market.

Let's look at the market for awhile, despite the fact that ETH looks very bullish thus far but bitcoin still own more than 50% dominance, and that's owned as that dominance is not against ETH only but the entire altcoins.  Per report in CMC (https://coinmarketcap.com/), ETH has around 14% dominance only.

if we are only among those who are born to have an unlimited luck and winning  we are now millionaires and we arent here already but i wonder if there are or its really possible to posses a gift like that ? because they can abuse every casinos they came across with  . theres no balance if that happens .
It's not possible, that didn't exist and  no person is so lucky to have experience winning all the time.
Best we can do is to be realistic, work our method the hard way and try to figure out how to win in the long run as it's possible.

thats why i wont easily believe on those but two things are for sure and those are winners and loosers

We only need to have more winning bets over losing bets, that would already make us profitable if we are discipline in managing our bankroll at the same time.
2828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: COCK FIGHTING: COVID-19 health protocols violators, caught on: September 01, 2020, 10:03:53 AM
As far as I know, they are illegal if people will not be doing that on a licensed cockpit,......

No, you can't apply that rules in the pandemic, not only cock fighting is not allowed but all sort of gambling as it gathers masses that would be prone to passing the virus among the people. So even if you do in a legal venue but the act itself is prohibited, you are still doing an illegal activity.

I agree but there are those people that do meetups(tupada) to cockfight in some places here.

Tupada is illegal and the fact that we are still in a pandemic means that it will be more of a hefty payment. I don't know what's going on with them since they are afraid of the virus but not afraid to do these meetups(tupadas) with other people that might carry the virus.

They can't resist the temptation, that's the main reason, period.

If a gambler has no discipline, most likely they will just lose, what they are doing is already considered as a gambling addiction as despite of the prohibition, they still violate the law just to gamble, this is an irresponsible move not only putting the people directly sorrounded to you which is your family but the society as well as some people does not even know they are already affected, so they keep roaming around and that's why prohibition on mass gathering like gambling is strictly prohibited. Aside from monetary penalty, I think they should be jailed for months to really send a message to the violators.

2830  Economy / Speculation / Re: History shows Bitcoin price may take 3-12 months to finally break $20K on: August 31, 2020, 10:04:39 PM
The question is when to start counting that 3-12months? I'm not sure it becomes measurable in a thing that we are in a volatile market and we probably know how often it changes unexpectedly.

That's a good question, normally investors starts counting when the market starts to be bullish and it seems according to my evaluation, the market is already bullish now as bitcoin reached a new high after two years, so this could be a good sign that it will stay bullish going forward, especially this year.
2831  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Rise Due to Lower US Dollar? on: August 31, 2020, 09:49:27 PM

So long story short, people increase your salary based on computer and milk and so forth and they ignore the college fee and health, they cherry pick.

That's what most people didn't see, no wonder even if we have a good salary but it's still not enough to live a comfortable life. I experienced that, I strive so hard to work, got promoted and get a better salary but at the end of the day, I'm still in debt. They say we should learn how to minimize our expenses and increase savings, but for me, this is not the life I like, its not financial freedom, what I want to see is an affordable basic needs and healthcare benefits is one of these now.

So IMO, saving alone is not good, invest more and save less, and I'm investing on crypto since 5 years more or less already.
2832  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid 19 shows how weak People are in the it mind on: August 31, 2020, 02:09:34 PM
The banks giving now even more money!

This is still not an opportunity, It's more like a help and not everyone can benefit on this, maybe only countries with good reserves while this pandemic affects the population globally and it's been killing our economy. You are right that it could be seen as an opportunity for others but this is not for everyone or for the majority of people, so we should be realistic to understand what it is.

why not ? you are given a chance to get free money , its a great oppurtunity for those who are qualified for this  . for some , their countries still have a different plan for them  .  its not possible that there will be countries that wont care for the status of thier people  because those people can complain and thier governance will be put on shame  .  

covid19 can weaken the people but we need to fight this just like what we did on our past problems   .

Are you serious? Do you really think banks are giving free money? Come on, banks are in business to make profit, they are not a charitable institution, giving and lending are different, they are lending money but with adjusted terms ,maybe lower interest and longer term to be payable, but this is definitely not free.
2833  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it time to think of cash and bank deposits as different currencies? on: August 31, 2020, 11:29:45 AM
Banks "resisting" means they would also no longer accept cash/physical-fiat currencies?
Would this also mean that the central bank will stop printing money and we will only play with the supply and demand since paper money will become limited? It's quite complicated to me, @Jet Cash, can you enlighten me a bit?

I imagine that people will keep circulating the physical currencies until they gradually fade away and disappear. But I doubt all human beings in the world will stop using physical things they find appropriate as currencies

Big countries with advance financial system would prefer a digital currency but there's a big part of the world which still rely on paper money mostly as their infrastructures are not that capable to handle and make people fully adopt with digital currency, so they will continue to produce paper money.
2834  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC and ETH on their 2 years high on: August 30, 2020, 11:12:39 PM
Bitcoin is steadily increasing over time, quietly reaching 11.8K today, highest price for last two years. Ethereum's rise is much sudden and higher against BTC, it's traded at upto $430+ today, it's highest for last two years. Where do you see the market heading? would there still be bullish ride or there ought to be an immediate correction?

Based on the positive introduction statement you have before the question, I would say we will be heading for a new ATH.

New high is quite a good achievement already as most of the time the market was bearish, but we've seen great hope this year that despite of the bearish movements in the past, bitcoin still survives and ready to recover. I'm calling it as a recovery as bitcoin's current ATH was already achieved, therefore, it would be weak for bitcoin not to reach or surpass the price it was previously hit in the past.

Maybe $25,000 by the end of the year. It's hard to ascertain, so that's just a wild guess coming from me.

ETH would be $1100
2835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin such a big risk? on: August 30, 2020, 10:32:08 PM
Many people I know formed a bias that cryptocurrencies are inherently risky and you shouldn't invest in them more than you can afford to lose.
This is true, and actually it's not only for bitcoin but for other high risk investment, or any investment as they all have inherent risk.

I agree with the above statement in a certain extent, but I'd like to ask the community. Is it riskier to place your money in Bitcoin or hold them in a fiat savings account? What's your opinion?

So curious to see the response especially today when we live in times of crisis.

Your only have to fear about inflation when you are putting your money in the bank, but inflation only happen when the economy of your country is bad, but if you put your money in bitcoin, there's really a risk as the market is volatile, it could dump so hard that you might lose your faith of holding it, that's the risk why some investors can't afford to invest their money in bitcoin.

Also, putting your money in the bank is just a form of savings that you can withdraw anytime you want without losing much value if it will lose due to inflation, but with crypto, your money could go down 50% even in a week, so you have to accept this kind of possibility, therefore I suggest to diversify your money, put a saving in the bank and allocate money for investment in crypto.
2836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's Case As A Hedge Asset Continues To Grow on: August 30, 2020, 11:44:41 AM
If they are going to use Bitcoin in order to prevent their assets devalue because of a certain currency, then Bitcoin could be consider a hedge too I guess. From what I've seen so far, Bitcoin is being used to flee from a failing economy or currency anyway and so far, it is working. Although Bitcoin is a currency, if people starts using Bitcoin as hedge, then they will inevitably use and understand in time it which is good for Bitcoin in the long run.

That's right, investors hedging their money into bitcoin has to believe that bitcoin is better then their economy and if everyone of us thinking that way, then it's not impossible that bitcoin will be very much benefited as its demand will increase and we know what's going to happen.

Bitcoin could be subject for manipulation by some but if you look at its long term movement, you'll see how stable it is and how strong it is, so I guess being a hedge means better than the other, bitcoin has that qualify now already.

So even if you do in a legal venue but the act itself is prohibited, you are still doing an illegal activity.

Agree, even the Vegas casinos, they were stopped for awhile although they are a legal entity, they only came back into operation when they have an approval to start operating again. If they operate prior to the approval, they are doing an illegal operation and they can be penalize for doing so, same with the example, cockpit owners can't used their license to exempt themselves from not following the mandate of the authorities.
2838  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is DeFi hype the same as ICO hype in 2017? on: August 29, 2020, 11:57:48 PM
Yes, it can be said that Hype Defi is not much different from ICO in 2017. and this is a concept form of the cryptoqurrency industry. but I don't think that the ICO hype has ended it's just that investors started to decline after seeing that ICO was no longer as profitable as it was in 2017. To be honest I am more afraid of Defi's hype, this is really crazy.

The ICO hype stays longer, I think that was over a year before it went down and ICO was big as it resulted to a bull run which helps bitcoin achieved it's ATH or if it was more bitcoin who contribute itself but I'm sure ICO plays a big role for the success too. Anyway, DeFi can't be measured right now as the hype is still here, so it's still on going and we never know when it will step and how big it would contribute to the market.

Bitcoin is trading at $11500 now, if bitcoin will reach $20,000, then we might say it really has a big contribution to the market and it could contribute bigger than the ICO previously if DeFi hype would still exist until next year.

I hope everyone is always aware of Defi's hype.

And I hope they'll aware of the risk too.

Good job, that little effort of yours could contribute to the adoption in the space, who knows these people you are educating might be interested and with the little information you gave to them, it will lead them to do more research to know more about bitcoin and they will eventually adopt.

You should be proud of yourself, we are proud of you as well as that's what we should do to help the adoption of the market as this is just for our own good. This really tells us that only few people knows about bitcoin and it's good to know that they know not coming from the scammers or those who are using bitcoin for ponzi scheme investment scams.

I hope they won't be turn of if they know that this...

2840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Legal Matter on: August 29, 2020, 11:34:43 AM
So hard to trust some online casinos even if they are trusted enough since there are still possibilities that they will turn scam nor get trouble regarding on legal matter and it will cause for us to lose our money deposited or get trap for such reasons, so I assume there are less capital has been played compared to Vegas since playing physically is so different and many people love the interaction compare to online.

We can never tell what would happen with the casinos we are gambling with, but as a gambler, it's our duty to ensure that we are playing to the most legit casinos which we think would not fold down their business any time or will scam us.

Las Vegas casinos have been operating for many years, it's a very profitably business or industry, so the risk is very low for them to stop or scammed us.

And since they are regulated, that should make us confident gambling with them. If we trust popular gambling sites here in the forum, then I think we should trust the biggest or one of the biggest which is the Vegas. You know, if you are a gambler, you know how to manage the risk and that is by not trusting everything you have in one single gambling sites. What I do as a gambler is I gamble in different online casinos as i like to diversify my money to minimize the risk since online casinos are my only option and Vegas is still a dream for me.
