That's the problem of some, because of their ego or pride, even so many people are already telling them about their addiction, they won't accept it, because for them, their bad habit is just normal, nothing to be worry about, but that's not true. Gambling addiction is a real problem, especially if you have your own family already, as a father or a mother, you should both act as a good example to your children, give them everything they need, provide their daily needs, and raise them well, not let them see you getting addicted to Gambling.

Well, I agree when you said that kids nowadays are getting smarter, but it's not gambling site fault's if there are kids playing on their site, because in the first place, parents are the one who is responsible on monitoring their child's activities in the internet, besides, even if they do KYC, kids might stole their parent's ID to submit it to be verified, easy as that.

There are options in your internet service provider that bans certain sites that is harmful for your child, that way, you coud monitor everything they do.

I think what OP meant was a casino that has high paid escorts that you could rent when you finished your game in casino or when you got bored in your plays. I never heard such thing before, but there's a possibility that it is existing but it is confidential therefore no news leaked in the market. Usually, casino dealers are sexy and pretty to be appealing to the clients, but they are not for sexy thingy that OP was talking about, if I understand it correctly.

I agree. Bitcoin was able to withstand all the challenges thrown at it over the past years. Despite the rumors, schemes, and scams, painted on its name, bitcoin was able to bounce back from the mud to the sky. It has shown its potential from the very beggining until today. Its popularity isn't just a hype, but a worthy one most especially whenever you buy the dip because you can gain more as time passes by. Bitcoin has been one of the top investments of every social classes may you be rich, average, or poor.

You can never go wrong in bitcoin. Once its value crashes down, it's the best time to buy as much as you can and hodl until the moment you need funds. Although it is known to be volatile (all crypto is), you can still savor the fruit of your patience once its position pumps. No wonder bitcoin is the crowd's favorite. It indeed passed the test of time. Its value's potential to rise is undeniably strong to happen in the future.

There are several reasons why people still choose to invest on government-controlled investments. Here are the things I have thought of:

1. They are not aware about cryptocurrency and other investment platforms.
2. They are aware about cryptocurrency, but don't have much time to study it or they just don't believe or trust how it works.
3. Government-controlled investments offer greater returns over time compared to what they know of, and they are settled to that amount already.


You see, a lot of people are still aren't aware about cryptocurrency. Some people don't just like to pay attention to it, hence, they are clueless about it. There are also some people that are actually aware about crypto, but it was instilled to them in a bad light. Many rumors and gossips such as schemes and scams made people afraid of risking to it. Hence, the majority just opt to invest on government-controlled investments because from the name itself, "government-controlled", it gives them assurance that their money is in the safe hands. Whatever happens, government will be held liable on their money. Maybe that thought makes them sleep very well at night.

In addition, government-controlled investments offer highee returns compared to other investment vehicles. Here in our country, there is a thing called PAG-IBIG, wherein you can save and invest your money for long-term and it offers high return compared to saving in traditional or digital banks. This kind of investment is enticing for the people, most especially to the non-techy ones because they can have the most out of their money without exerting too much effort at all.

Based on the news and articles I've read, China is the leading country that has a great influence on Bitcoin. China is known to cater mining sites for bitcoin. According to what I've read, China caters the 75% of bitcoin mining because they offer cheaper electricity cost compared to other mining places. Hence, it is very ideal to set up mining sites because they'll save a lot of money designated for power. This is what makes China have a big impact on the price movement of bitcoin in the market. If ever China decides to do something in favor of bitcoin, price may pump. Otherwise, downfall of its value will happen. Like what happened recently whereas China decided to close some of its mining sites due to minimization of power consumption and resources as well. This resulted to bitcoin's price crashing down. Bitcoin hit its lowest position during that time for the past months.

Do what works for you best. There are advantages and disadvantages on both investing and trading. You can do what suits your current situation and of course, your preference. Ask yourself, what do you prefer? Short-term or long-term? You can do both if you like to. Just remember that the two are completely different thing. Study how the two work so you'll not regret a thing later on.

Personally, I prefer investing over trading. I'm in it for long-term after all. Investing works best for me because all I have to do is buy the dip (for those coins that show potential) and hodl until the time I need to withdraw some funds and until I reached my goal. Although, I've tried trading as well. And man, it was a rollercoaster ride. You shouldn't start trading when you aren't equipped with enough knowledge. If you opt to do so, you'll end up losing. Trading requires a lot of skills, strategy, and strong gut-feeling. You must know when to take profit (T/P) and you should put stop loss to avoid losses and liquidation. Trading is time-consuming, but it always pays back your effort as long as you know what you are doing.

I have read and commented several posts regarding this topic. And for the nth time, I would like to say and stand my ground that cryptocurrency will never and can never replace fiat money. Crypto isn't made to take over physical money. It has a very different nature - decentralized. And with that, the thought of totally replacing fiat is nearly impossible to happen because certainly, the government officials won't allow that to begin with.

Most leaders of the countries all over the globe are even aloof with the idea of accepting cryptocurrency. Hence, the possibility of it replacing physical fiats is extremely low. Although there are open-minded officials that already took the initiative to risk with crypto as an alternative mode of payment, store of value, and as a legal tender, still there are still a lot of officials that are not in favor of crypto and does not recognize crypto in their country.

In addition, cryptocurrency and fiat money has their own uses. They serve their own purpose in a country. A fiat money plays a great role in the economy of a country. Meanwhile, crypto serves as an alternative option for purchasing, saving, investing, trading, buy and sell, etc. It also provides wide opportunities for the people that fiat money alone can't offer. You see, they have their purposes that's why we should not pit them with each other. One way or another, these two have helped and will help the citizens and the country in general.

This is also true.

As long as people are earning money, graphic design won't matter, no matter how simple it is. However, a gambling site with a package (good UI design and games) is a good deal for a gambler, he's enjoying because of both, but since graphic design is a bit pricey and not that important when you're playing gambling, they usually don't bother on making it as good as video games.

In fact, the theme of every gambling sites are the ones that matter for gamblers, because the more you feel the vibe or the theme, the more you enjoy it and you'll feel not that bad when you lose.

Cryptocurrency gambling world or not, as long as they come clean with complete legal papers to their Government on whichever country they belong, that's enough assurance to give to their players, because obviously if they would run off or decided to scam their players, then they could proceed to legal cases about it like filling a case against them, easy as that, if the people they scammed really wanted to do so.

Correct.

But this kind of habit will lead to addiction. When you're irritated or disappointed, you will take your revenge (winning back your money) or you will continue to try and try it again until you get what you wanted, and that's gonna blind you. You will slowly going to be addicted on it without you noticing, because you think you're just playing just like the usual, but the usual thing you do is the sign that you're addicted to it already.

Time after time, the effects on it to you would become worst, that's the only time you'll realize that you dived too deep in gambling.

I agree with this.

A good user interface design is the primary thing to attract players, next would be how fast your gambling site is (I mean it should have laggy features) or else players would be annoyed and leave. Next is your customer support and how "fair" your gambling is, because it is important that you have an active customer support to assist your players whenever they are having problems.

It's also good because at the same time you know what to enhance in your gambling site, to fix bugs, and other common problems in gambling sites.

It's not an issue I guess if the player is going to be honest about it's age, I mean only players that's age is 18 are the only ones who can access the gambling part of the game, they could ask for KYC verification for that part of the game to make sure that no underage are playing gambling instead of just MMORPG.

Adding gambling on a certain game means that they want to increase their revenue, simple as that, or they don't have the budget for another domain or team creating the gambling games alone.

You're addicted to gambling when you always start your day with it, or if you can't call it a day without playing gambling. You're addicted on it when you focus on gambling alone and never do anything, your focus is on it everyday and you spend all of your money on it while ignoring your responsibilities as a person.

Addiction is your habit, it will either do you good or the other way around, it depends on how you manage it and how you do things based on what's happening on you.

We have our various reasons why we are into cryptocurrency. One of the things I think we have as a common ground is that we want to generate additional money for personal purposes and to help as long as we can. Despite our different motivations in life, I'm glad to know that most of us have the same goal which is to help the people in need whether we know them personally or not. One best sample would be here in forum. This forum already helped, still helping, and will help more people in the future. The topics here and the answers by different users around the globe give new perspectives and ideas to be pondered upon. The old members are always willing to help the newbies especially when they ask certain questions related with crypto or anything about investing in general and other topics as well. Additional knowledge is being passed down from one people to another making a nice way of paying forward to the community.

Another example would be projects and fund raising using crypto. Crypto has raised so many donation drives that was able to help many people such as those who have diseases, homeless, and those who are merely trying to survive daily. I've seen several posts here regarding feeding programs wherein the OP used his extra earnings in crypto to make it happen. My heart is just so full remembering these things. Truly, social responsibility isn't just exclusive to the wealthy people. While they have more ability to give, we can still also do our part because after all, we belong to one community - cryptocurrency community thay aims to pull each other up.

Cryptocurrency is nice for long-term investment because you can hodl as long as you want and as long as you don't need your funds as fiat money. Your investment has a high chance to gain and earn more as time passes by given that it has a nice potential to uphold its value or even exceed. Many people are risking their chance nowadays in crypto because it has proven that it has a lot of advantages. Although people must know that crypto isn't a get-rich-quick type of platform because most people always assume that it is a shortcut to generate wealth in a snap - it is not. To become successful in crypto, one must invest into himself first. A person must learn to feed himself additional knowledge and skills that could help him strategize and execute when it comes to actual crypto platform.

Data analyzation is a vital skill to be successful in cryptocurrency. You must study the history, price movements in charts, and read more about it to understand it better. Profit will be bigger for those who risk higher. High risks, high rewards. Just learn to minimize your losses by knowing your boundaries in investing.

Bitcoin is volatile so expect sudden movement of its price at any time of the day. Although, the price change whether increase or decrease wouldn't be big as much as you want it to be. Its price will just play from additional or less than small value from its original position. I think we're still in bullish market hence, it's not yet the very ideal season to buy additional coins. We must wait for bearish market and really hope for the best. But I suppose, it's still far ahead unless a reason for sudden market disruption will occur such as banning of bitcoin in super nation countries or closure of mining sites that could trigger the value of bitcoin to go up or down.

IMO, these people's thinking is just too shallow that they can't comprehend the concept of bitcoin presented to them. Bitcoin is known to be decentralized in nature and it is volatile. If they can't grasp the idea presented using videos and articles, then I think it is partly their fault because most sources and information are now available online. There is even a platform like this forum to provide additional knowledge for the newbies and those people who are looking up to something to learn new things about cryptocurrency.

Ignorance is dangerous. We must always feed our thoughts new information of something we want to enter, experience, and be expert on. If we will just rely on gossips and baseless information, then we should not expect great outcome. I just always find it funny that most people who try to damage bitcoin's reputation are usually the ones that aren't knowledgeable and aware about it. I kind of think that these people are just seeking attention and just don't want other people to fluorish as well.

If this kind of scenario will happen (regulation of bitcoin and banning), I think most users will opt to hold for long-term and really hope for the best that regulation or banning will be just temporary and will soon be lifted. Just like any other banned things  whereas it was later on made legal again after a period of time. Otherwise, I think the users will try to convert the funds they have on their wallet to fiat money for assurance purposes that they will still be able to enjoy the fruit of their labor and patience. After all, there are so many exchangers available to convert crypto coins into actual money. That way, they were still able to utilize their coin's value.

Nonetheless, people will still find ways and opportunity to use crypto if ever worse comes to worst. They can use several methods not to be detected to avoid persecution. Like what they say, modern problems require modern solutions. 

My honest answer would be no, El Salvador would not be "home of Bitcoin" because El Salvador isn't an influential and powerful country to begin with. Frankly speaking, El Salvador's move to adopt bitcoin as a legal tender made mass adoption quicker. It made a positive impact to the bitcoin community since a lot of countries were slowly following their steps in risking in bitcoin. However, to be acknowledged and entitled as "home of Bitcoin" is just too heavy for their capabilities as a country. Not that I am belittling El Salvador, but we are aware that it is a third-world country - it has lesser to offer compared to the first-world countries that are soaring high. El Salvador made a power move, but it is not enough to be called such heavy title. Maybe we can acknowledge them as the one of the firsts countries who braved cryptocyrrency introduction and adoption in their country.
