321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 27, 2023, 08:26:29 AM
That is the greed that often comes to gamblers who have already won. They forget that they have won and should stop gambling and not continue gambling because that will only make them lose. They should be able to understand the situation and not choose to continue gambling, especially if it is a big win. With this big win, the gamblers can withdraw their money and enjoy their winnings but the reality is that the gamblers continue gambling because they think they can still win some more money in a few rounds. And it is true that everything has its limits and if they have reached their limits, they must immediately stop gambling and leave the casino.

Of course, if a player wins, he will continue to play, because few people are ready to stop after winning, but it is important to stop on the day you win, rest is also needed. And in case of a big win, you should withdraw your profit and leave a game deposit, this way you can definitely save what you won and continue playing from the level where you were. Withdrawal of profit is a very important point and not only in gambling.
Only the addictd gamblers are the one who are reasy to continue playing even they know thwt their body and mind is tired but they want to push their limits and gamble more. If you are this kind of gambler that don't know how to cash out, there are only two ending that can happen to you. You will either win big time or on a lose with zero funds left as you don't know when to stop doing gambling. It's just that there are people who do't really have their a goal or just do greedy that they won't cashout unless they are satisfied with their winnings.

(...)How about you guys, are you having a good fortune on your gambling career? Do you ever think of quitting after you won a jackpot?
Yes, I can mention the level of luck here, and I also want to share this about my personal case: many years ago I also bought the lottery, and fortunately I won twice, But the bonus is not too big because it is based on the ratio of the special prize you bet on the last pair of numbers. With a 100x rate, I only bought $1 each time I won.
I know it's really luck because I know this game quite well since my grandfather often participated, but the level of winning is almost impossible, and indeed that brings a feeling of excitement, at that time. These were times when I didn't have much work to earn income, so it was an important amount of money at that time.
Lucky you. For those people like me who never won on lottery games, let's just be happy for others for their luck. I personally haven't win any lottery games even if it is a small bet, it's just that I have a not so good of a luck on lottery games, that's why I stopped trying participate in lotteries. Winning twice on a luck based game is crazy as majority of people doesn't even experience winning on those in their entire life.
323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 26, 2023, 01:22:35 PM
Chasing loss in gambling is not really good because at the end you might loss everything you have. And that is the mindset of many gamblers. They think the their next game will give them what they have loss from the previous game and they loss out again and bet or play again until everything in the pocket or in the wallet is exhausted before their eyes always open to see and the brain open to understand that they wouldn't used all their money for the gambling or they wouldn't chase the loss. chasing loss is not always a favorable thing to do.
I can remember very well that when I started gambling, I do not have control over my somehow addiction gambling. I noticed that if I lost small amount of money and I continue to gamble, I will lose all. Not that I will continue to lose. I will continue to win and lose randomly but after several games played and gambled, the loss will surpass the profit and before I know, all my money would have been exhausted. Chasing loss is a bad idea and very related to gambling addiction and it can happen to beginners gamblers.

       -  You are, without a doubt, not the only one who has encountered such things as a gambler in crypto gambling, even though I have also been in a scenario where I know I have lost but continue to play. That's why I didn't realize I was going closer to danger while trying to recoup my gaming losses.

And the risk is that my money will run out, so instead of not having to gamble, I will move more and more with the urge to recoup my losses.

That is what exactly chasing the losses. The thing is sometimes we really don't know that we are chasing some losses. I myself had experienced the similar thing before when I'm still very active on gambling. I know before that I'm doing gambling with a caution but instead of cutting the losses, I continue and continue to play to atleast get to the point that I can hit the break even point where as you know, bring me more deposit and lost more to the casino.

Depending on the girl, it will be her decision if he can forgive the absolute madness that his fiancee did. His fiancee might have a good reason why did he try to use their wedding money to gamble but the way to fullfill the good intention is not the correct way. It will be a absolutely hard decision for the girl to forgive her fiancee but even if the girl forgave him, the trust that is broken will be his forever burden. If this story is a real deal, I wonder what did the girl do after discovering the fiancee mistake.

Hi all. How to buy more when growing? Today we are growing, but I don’t want to buy. Share your experience in this matter.
Try dollar cost averaging, research that and apply it to you. I know that we all want to buy our asset at it's all time low or on it's lowest price that you want to buy but this doesn't reallly come into reality that much often. Even those who made good profit didn't buy their asset at it's lowest, some of them just accumulated no matter the price is. Try to zoom out and try to forsee if the asset you are buying can grow more. Just like on bitcoin, it's never too late to buy some. Imagine those who bought at the peak of 2017 bull market, it was tripled in value last 2021 bull market.
326  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Noticeable New altcoins that launched in 2022 and 2023 on: October 26, 2023, 04:01:36 AM
Arbitrum are one of the tokens I'm anticipating to have a massive price growth as we approach bull market. Aptos and Optimism are other coins that i have the same hope of going the same path. I'm doing cost averaging into these tokens. These tokens haven't experienced a bull market, a massive price growth and has a strong support behind it. These are the factors of the recent successful tokens last bull market, along with the trend, I hope that these tokens will get us good profits.

I don't shill but I personally believe that new tokens or tokens created during the bear market are the one who will rise during the bull market.
327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: October 25, 2023, 03:32:33 PM
They are probably popular because of the amount they are trying to spend on the casino and that's how they are going to make it seem like. Someone who wins a lot and bets a lot enough to make a career having to do gambling and streaming.

It's interesting to many because they want to watch someone fulfill their fillings in which they are "lucky" to win. They found backup to it or reinforcement or something. That could be the case.
Sometimes even the money or credits that the streamers are using in their streams are fake even the platform, where the odds is programmed to be in their side. I guess it's what viewers want to see, how the bank roll grow in the streamers hand. Until they try the casino and ended up losing. I've saw many streamers that is doing casino contents which is random for them since they are not typically playing casino games and they are absolutely killing it by winning big time, this is one of the clues that they are paid/fake casino streamers.
328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shame on haters for claiming that crypto is widely used in terrorist financing! on: October 25, 2023, 03:11:28 PM
It's not impossible that terrorist can use bitcoin or other cryptocurrency for terrorist financing but it's just the small part of it. It's just that karens or non-believers always thinks that it is majorly used that kind of way. Did these karens ever speaked that banks or fiat transactions are the one who are always being used by these terrorist's to fund for their wars? At least on bitcoin, it is trackable on the blockchain. The fact that the usage of bitcoin is just a small part of the illegal activities, it will all be blamed to crypto LOL.

Yun lang talagang gagastos ka kung gusto mong maging competitive yung sets mo, ituring mo na lang din na parang online games na talagang need mong mag invest sa characters mo pang palag sa pvp, pag nanalo naman eh yung saya na madadala nung game makakaalis naman yun nung isipin mo dun sa nagastos mo, sa ngayon puro focus lang siguro sa pagpapalakas baka lang kasi biglang sumabay sa pump ulit or kung hindi naman eh ituring na lang na consolation yung makukuhang maliit na halaga sa paglalaro ng game.
Yung magiging gastos mo nga lang jan ay hindi pang isang beses, dahil nagbabago ang meta. Lalo kung competitive ka at gusto mo na mapasama ka sa leaderboards para sa rewards, need mo mag experiment ng iba't ibang team na magiging effective sa pvp. Worth it naman siya kung yun ang aim mo. Compare sa paglalaro lang daily para magawa yung kota, un ang sayang ang investment mo at oras, dahil kulang na kulang ang daily income kahit mag multi accounts pa.
Ganun talaga sa competitive scene. Lahat ay gusto maging number one kaya gagawin nila kahit ano, what more pa sa ibang laro na hundred of thousands yung ginagastos nila para maging top rank player sila. Part na din siguro ito ng gaming scene na need mo gumastos para mag ka edge ka sa ibang manlalaro, I'm talking about the overall gastos like gaming rigs, equipments, ingame items, even bootcamp for pro players. Hindi lahat ng talented lang ay nagiging number one sa isang laro, may sacrifices talaga just like other sports. Siguro mas ok na din ang axie ngayon since mura ang axie ngayon compared before na isang axie meta team is isang daang libo na.
330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: October 25, 2023, 02:20:35 PM

Nonetheless, it should be banned worldwide. @2Pizza410000BTC, a lot of government officials are into cockfighting in the Philippines. Cockpit arenas starting from small municipalities to big cities are duly registered.
It's just to sayu that this bloodthirsty entertainment should be banned.  However, there are many countries where this is a very profitable business that is in demand by the population.  And it can even be regarded as a sport.  For example, in Madagascar, the cost of a good rooster, trained by a specialist to participate in cockfighting, can even reach $500.  And this despite the fact that the standard of living in this country is very low.  For many residents this is a huge amount. 
And even if the government begins to ban cockfighting, and this is a centuries-old tradition, cockfighting will still not stop, but will simply begin to be held secretly behind closed doors. 
So it's almost impossible to ban it.
Banning cockfighting seems impossible since it is protected and some government officials profit from it. Even if the government were to implement a ban, it is likely that some smaller cities would continue to operate the activity, as some law enforcement officials may be corrupt.

Banning this bloodthirsty entertainment is necessary, especially since there have been cases where owners were attacked by their own chickens, as was the case last August. It is important to protect both the animals and the public from such cruel and potentially dangerous practices.
Pretty much. Cockfighting is a well known gambling game in our country and the government is ok with it because I believe they control it and of course they generate income from it by collecting taxes. Even if cockfighting arena is available in our local area, there are still people who operates underground illegal cockfighting games that are being raided by the authorities. I don't do cockfighting but I think people resort to illegal cockfighting fights because of the heavy tax that the cockfighting arena collects. It's a give and take situation but I don't think that this cockfighting game will disappear in our country soon. In fact, I haven't even seen any protest about physical arena cockfighting in my whole life.
331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Instagram Banned Bitcoin on: October 25, 2023, 01:53:18 PM
I don't use instagram that much anymore that's why I personally isn't affected by this but surely there are people or company that are affected by this bitcoin post ban. Instagram is under Meta so I'm speculating that facebook is next? This is the reason why we need a somehow decentralized online platform or something that is open to cryptocurrency like twitter. I'm just skeptical of the primary reason of instagram for the ban that it is for the community protection. I wonder if they will lift this ban soon.
332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If someone holds 1 bitcoin in 2023, can he call himself rich ? on: October 23, 2023, 08:36:56 PM
If someone holds 1 bitcoin in 2023, can he call himself rich ? If not, how many bitcoins holding is equal to being rich in your opinion ?
Nope. It will always depend on the person on what is rich for them. For me, owning 1 bitcoin wouldn't make you rich. People who are in a middle class of a first world country can buy 1 bitcoin if they want to, which also in other countries like third world country but it will take much time for them to buy 1 bitcoin if they really want to. Just imagine 1 bitcoin is equal to a brand new car, having a brand new car doesn't make you rich right? Maybe having hundreds of bitcoin will make you rich if we consider my analogy.

Ano sa tingin nyo guys? Since anonymous yung identity natin dito sa forum sa tingin nyo meron kayang mga sikat na tv personalities ang nandito din?
As far as I know walang known celebrity ang know na gumagamit nitong forum since I joined this forum. Even outside sa local natin is wala pang nakikilala or nag pakilala as celebrity. Crypto social media influencers locally siguro meron pero lowkey lang siguro sila since wala din akong kakilala. I also doubt na iintroduce nila sarili nila dito as celebrity given na wala naman silang outstanding growth na makukuha dito sa forum at more on information ang makukuha nila. Di rin sila mag aaksaya ng oras dito if pera habol nila sa forum logically speaking since mas malaki yung kinikita nila sa job nila unless hobby nila dito sa forum. We never know.
334  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges essential for mass adoption? on: October 23, 2023, 07:20:42 PM
You're right! But one thing is sure, in the future blockchain technology & Cryptocurrency will win over the government. It's just a matter of time. Government simply want where they can exact control on citizen's finance like they do to fiats from the central banks. All we need is, more legitimate & trustworthy blockchain services providers at different levels - Exchange and otherwise, and enlightened Crypto users who will help make the work easier for these Exchanges to survive.
the government will never have full control over bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it will only be temporary control.
Bitcoin remains decentralized and will never change. If the government takes full control then that's the end of decentralization and bitcoin technology is no longer useful. Bitcoin's goal is to escape the grasp of governments and third parties who want complete control. The blockchain will still be uncontrollable and everything will be permanently recorded on the blockchain, the government hates that.
The thing is governments can easily ban cryptocurrency on their country. We have saw countries that don't support cryptocurrency of course with the front of how risky and volatile the market are. Though in the back of their minds, they don't want it because they can't control the blockchain. There are also countries who don't ban cryptocurrency but they are strongly particular on somehow controlling the masses by introducing platforms to them that is centralized and they have some sort of control. Taxes is one of the biggest reason why I see countries support cryptocurrency but still want it to be centralized.
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: October 23, 2023, 06:56:16 PM
There are even streamers who switched from their usual games to casino games real quick. I've saw so many streamers on other streaming platforms such as facebook that these streamers are playing casino games where there primary audience are teens or I believe some of them are minors. I'm pretty sure that those kind of streamers are paid by the casino and I don't have a problem with that, my problem is on the streamer side. Imagine that your fanbase are teens and some of it are minors and suddenly you promoted or play on a casino where you are hyping your viewers on how easy you can make money online. For sure teens who has a strong curiosity will try it even if the streamers say that you need to be on a legal age before you try it.
336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Digital Real Estate: Is it worth it? on: October 23, 2023, 06:38:35 PM
I've seen digital property being sold for thousands of dollars (USD) in Decentraland. I'm yet to understand why digital real estate is appalling to mainstream investors. Owning a virtual property is not the same as owning a real one. It's just like NFTs (through the form of digital art, items, etc.). It may be all hype that will eventually fade away into oblivion. Or maybe I'm wrong?

Do you think digital real estate has a future? Is it worth it? If not, why? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Smiley

Maybe one day the government will decide that NFT's constitute a valid contract of ownership. And at that point in time the people holding NFT's are going to become richer than they ever imagined - I suppose the average NTF fan thinks somewhat along this line.

Personally, I do not see the need for NFT's to prove ownership or authenticity. But as far as the question of authenticity goes, what happens when people start making scam NFTs or misleading people with a different, look-alike blockchain. What if your wallet gets hacked? Do you still consider someone the owner of an NFT the rightful owner if its been stolen and sent to someone else?
Before the government approves the NFT on a contract of ownership, like on a physical land title. They will surely consider the risk on it. If they found out that it proves much more risk than the traditional proof of ownership that we have like pen and paper or databases, the probably won't try it especially that the migration and the procedure of it is not that easy since there's a lot of information that is needed to inputted and publicized. 
337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which games offer the best chance of a big win? on: October 22, 2023, 07:09:10 PM
Let's settle this! Based on your experience which game is more likely to bring a big win - slots, table games or crypto games?

On one hand, I know slots bring in large X's, but it is quite rare and you have to be really lucky. On the other hand, I saw people get massive multipliers on crypto games like Crash after a couple of minutes of playing. So which is it?
From my experience, the games that offer the highest returns especially slots with multipliers of 5000x or more, tend to be the ones where it's challenging to get any winnings. Simpler games like dice or crash may not give us high returns but they also minimize potential losses and are less addictive compared to slots in my opinion.

Personally, I like to play slots more even with the risk because they are more enjoyable and entertaining, especially when you see people achieve maximum wins as you said so I decide to try my luck. However in general, there's no big difference in all forms of gambling and it's not about the type of games you choose but rather how you understand and approach gambling. The key is to enjoy it and not focus on making profits or trying to chase your losses, as this can lead to worse problems or addiction.
I agree with this. Though in reality, it really depends on the game that you like. I personally like cryptogames since that is where I can earn most, I don't earn much just the same level when I play on table games like blackjack and poker but I like how simple and entertaining the games are. There are people who are highly skilled that they can win on table games most of the time that they are playing. I'm spending more time on cryptogames more than others, maybe I spent so much time there because I don't lose much often there.

2017 talaga yung pinaka solid na year for me. Sobrang saya nung mga panahon na yun since dun ko unang nalasap yung sarap ng bull run at ng bounty campaigns dito sa forum. Almost majority ng bounty campaigns na nasalihan ko is pumapaldo talaga. Marami din akong nakilala sa larangan ng crypto before and after that bull market. Solid din naman yung 2021 bull market pero iba talaga yung saya ng 2017. Andami kong firsts na nagawa sa buhay ko, first million, life first experiences and first lessons na I think nag build up saakin para maging ako ngayon. I experienced so many mistakes that time and also bull market 2021 pero I'm sure na hindi ko na ulit gagawin yung mga mali na yun next bull market. I'm claiming to earn 8 digits next bull market!

339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 95% of NFTs have a market cap of zero on: October 22, 2023, 04:35:02 PM
therefore I have never invested in NFT, because I am sure that NFT have a very big risk that I could lose my money and I am also sure that the price of NFT will not be able to increase again even if the next bullrun occurs, so I have never been interested and suggested to my friends or my family to invest in NFT even though the price of NFT was going down, because it was too risky to invest in NFT.

Justin bieber has been also scammed by this piece of shit.

Quote
Justin Bieber’s Bored Ape NFT was valued at $1.3 million in 2022—now it’s only worth around $60,000
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/07/justin-biebers-bored-ape-nft-has-lost-95-percent-of-its-value-since-2022.html

Look at that how shitty NFT is right now. Even justin bieber was loosing millions of money in less than a year. NFT is pure massive scam. People are so dumb in using NFT as their personal investment which was the stupidest thing i have ever seen in my life.
Justin NFT is now only worth 60k USD. Justing is a rich guy abd that amount was nothing. Im guessing that if almost all of APE nft holdes are suffering the same case like what justing did.

This guy spend millions of money for nothing than get a garbage money NFT which will worth nothing in the future. NFT is pure garbage shit. The end of NFT is going even closer since there are many scam NFTs exist in the market.
There's a lot of celebrities that are affected by the downfall of NFT arts that they had bought. I guess it is the way that the project convince people to buy their NFT because celebrities have it, so this is your chance to have the same ones that the celebrities had. But yeah, it's the downfall and those who bought those NFT's including celebrities are losing money day by day because it is depreciating consistently. The one who really gained from it are the flippers/hypers and the project owners (royalties). It's sad but I think those celebrities will just preserve their NFT and hope someone buy their NFT at the price that they want.

Hello Bitcointalk, Dear Members, do you know a pre-sale token with solid connections that you can recommend? I'm Thinking About Making an Investment
I would recommend you to don't ask for recommendation here or anywhere about a pre sale token investment. People will just recommend shtty investment or some straight up scam. It's best to do your own research in finding those crowd funding or presale token, though I don't really recommend investing on those since they have a bad history. It would be better to just buy bitcoin or good altcoins that already exist in the market. I believe that it would be the best route for newbies like you.
