-snip-
With you knowing this elements, you won't bother to go to the extreme of borrowing money to gamble. So have you borrowed money to gamble? If you do please take notes of this and stop it.
Thank you for the piece you've shared, they are all helpful and I am certain that those gamblers who can read your short article will be blessed in disguise. I wonder why people are gambling in desperation in the first place, gambling should be an extra activity and should not even be done solely for the money to be made through it. And even if the person will not solely gamble for fun but for the money, they should be wise about it and moderate things to avoid issues for themselves. I do not know the gain of the gambler who had wasted his money on gambling but still went ahead to borrow more money to gamble, is that not insane?

No one needs to tell such a gambler that he is losing it already, and perhaps he is already addicted to gambling. How it should be reversed should be the burning desire of the person and not the other way around. Gambling can only be enjoyed if we are responsible in doing it, but the moment we start irresponsible gambling, then we become unuseful to ourselves and everyone around us. Is that a good remark? This alone should have talked senses to many gamblers gambling anyhow.
322  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Reach 100k USD in 2025? on: May 24, 2024, 07:52:41 AM
Hi everyone,

There's a lot of talk about BTCBitcoin potentially reaching 100,000 USD in the next year. What do you think? Can BTC hit 100k in 2024? Huh

Looking forward to your thoughts.
We are all looking forward to Bitcoin reaching that high and historical level ($100,000) but let me tell you, if anyone tells you that it will "certainly" reach that level, that person is deceiving you. No one knows what the market would do and Bitcoin has not hit that level before to warrant us being empathetic about it, so any price calling can never be professional, the market doesn't work like that. It is all about our wish and hope now, and we pray that it hits that level so that we can make more money. Wink

However, my concern is the fact that Bitcoin is not showing so much seriousness in this regard and what I see now as more concerning is the fact that lack of liquidity could be an issue. I've raised this issue many times but people think I was being overbearing about it, but well, let's see how things go. My reason for the concern is the fact that liquidity is not just coming from thin air, it comes from the pocket of some people. If there are no new adopters of Bitcoin who can inject their capital, it then becomes an issue. And in contrast to how people expect it, they believe that some whales will push it toward the $100,000 automatically, but nothing is magical here.

Wait a minute, which whale doesn't like money and wouldn't have bought Bitcoin at a low price? Haven't those guys thought that these investors are not new to investment environment and market psychology? Didn't they know that they know the beauty of buying low and the danger of buying at a high price? This is what many will not consider despite being a concern because the love of Bitcoin has blinded them.
323  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana blockchain on: May 24, 2024, 07:36:20 AM
Hello guys
Is this really a good project to invest in Solana?Any price prediction in future?
Mainnet is coming in Q3.
Please suggest me...
Mainnet? Which Mainnet again

Regardless, Solana is a very good coin but it could be disastrous if we are too trusting of any coins, anything can happen in the crypto market which could be adverse irrespective of how good the project is. This is why whenever you buy a coin, you should know you are taking a risk and the risk becomes higher when you do not strike it when it is still very low. Solana is high in price now and it is more than half of its ATH already, and you can't compare yourself buying it now($170) with someone who had struck it when it was still at about $15. The difference is clear and so is the risk.

Still, this will still not stop the coin from appreciating more, but note that you are risking more in case it slips to the bearish trend earlier than expected and you can't earn so much from it anymore in this bullish season. I am one of the few people who believe that Solala could still hit $1,000 this bullish season, if this happens, that's your luck.

Nevertheless, this is merely a wish and an instinct, it is never truly professionally speculated since the asset has never reached that level before.
324  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: participating in the forum in order to be able to access campain in the future on: May 24, 2024, 07:21:59 AM
Do you guys think it is viable?
How many hours do people spend here a week to earn merits?
and than you receive only (max) $100 a week?
Lol...this is concerning really as the market force has been naturally dropping the pay rate. The forum tried to establish itself ever since m!xers have left but I think the reality is bitting hard now, not more $250 or more offers. Though there are still good campaign offers, except that it is not more than $100, excluding the bonus, and with the bonus, people may still earn $160, but with some tough tasks. Wink

It is not business as usual, but time changes and things might be reviewed upwards by the same market force that dropped it. That said, it also depends on the way you view it as the earning from the forum is a passive income, and regardless of the country you are in the world if you are earning $400, it can do some extra things for you compared to if you never earned it.

This is also with less work to do, especially if your campaign asks you to post a maximum of 20-25 per week (an average of 3 posts per day). However, this is huge money in some countries, and with that little effort put into it a day, it is a very reasonable extra income on average.
325  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: May 23, 2024, 06:51:11 PM
Honest reviews is what the people want with all of the gambling platforms because no one will ever wanted to be a victim of any scam gambling platform, instead is the need for making a research about the available ones in other to know which should be in consideration for the best offer of gambling service satisfactions to gamblers, most of us don't play with reviews because from there we have an idea on what is at stake or not.
Now, how do we get an honest review? That is the issue, my friend, we hardly see or read the truth these days as everyone is now for the money and not the integrity and sanity of the readers and the world at large. This is why I will always advise everyone to ensure they are deriving their information from the right channels, this is the only way they can at least get some above-average information/review that will be true. One can do that with private websites, but please, such site owners must be trusted so well with the best possible antecedents and not the kind of random reviewers and influencers in which you can be sure that almost all that they are reviewing cannot be true.

This is because they are simply for the money mainly and not for the truth. Money is causing a whole lot these days and technology is also abating them, which is sad. There are no regulations again to make matters worse because if there are viable regulations and sanctions that could be meted, website owners and influencers will think twice before telling lies just because they want to lure people, or should I say next victims to some companies.

Nonetheless, if the reviews are many and are random, I mean the ones in which the websites/platform owners give people the benefit of stating their individual and independent experience about companies, then an iota of truth about the company can still be derived, particularly if one can read them insightfully.
326  Economy / Gambling / Re: House Edge on: May 23, 2024, 06:21:59 PM
very funny,when your opponent is the casino.
Do you actually care whether the house edge is 1% or 2%?
Of course, because house edge does tells your chances, a lower house edge the higher chances of winning although your chances is still below 50%.
This games with house edge are luck based game, mark that word luck becacuse that's all we need to win.
Bankroll management in this case is kinda important as well, but that's only to minimize your loses or stay within your range, if you know what I mean.

I’m not saying you’re wrong but house edge imply your possible losses every spin. Which mean the lower the house edge gives you lesser money to loss in every bet. House edge doesn’t increase your chance of winning because it automatically decreases your winning percentage below 100% in the long run.
You seem to be contradicting yourself here since if there is a house edge that is not 100% according to what you have explained in relation to what I have read with you guys' discussion, then how come the odds again be 100% against the gambler? No. The fact that a gambler played and lost does not mean that the house edge is 100%, it only means that even if the house edge is just 10%, it indicates that the gambler wasn't able to enjoy the grace covered by the remaining 90%. Needless to say, this house edge of a thing is not obvious to anyone and even if a certain casino states their edge, is it really true?

The fact that the difficulties in casinos can be adjusted based on what is coded in the algorithm makes the house edge of a thing that is difficult to ascertain or trust. However, this house edge of thing is applicable only to the casino aspect of gambling and not to the sportsbook, and all that matters in casino betting is to try your best and leave the rest as you can't beat the house in the long run. Nevertheless, it is better to focus on the fun part of this kind of betting even as you are neutral about the money, that's if you think about it at all.
327  Economy / Gambling / Re: More revelations on the challenges of physical casinos on: May 23, 2024, 06:07:22 PM
That issue isn't a case for most physical casino, I think that there's been an involvement of corruption in this specific case or there's been a lapse of judgment or negligence on the management side of the casino because this can never be allowed in most casinos, it's difficult to claim or falsely claim a win because there's measures in place that would be placed to make sure that this won't happen, I think that there's a possibility that the person can also sue for the negligence of the casino besides that one where he already won the money, that's going to be a scandal for the casino if the person escalates things.

It is difficult to escalate if you have an issue with the casino. In most places, casinos are accepted because the bring plenty of work, tourism and economic activity. In many places there is a self-regulated organisation that will try for sites not to damage the general reputation on the area, but that's it. If you try anything else, you will not get anywhere, the systems plays against you.
Well, without confusing myself further, let me say that I do not understand what you meant by the difficulty in an escalation of issues with the casino because whether it is physical or online, there are measures already in place to address issues as an establishment, and if it is not solved by immediate resolution, there will always be a way to escalate things in ranks. This is even better tailored toward the right channels with the physical casino, unlike the online casinos that you probably will never see. Although this is not a yardstick to judge customer satisfaction, but still, it still goes a long way to include it as an appraisal.

Besides, yes, you have a point on the concluding part, it is better for the casino to play by the book and build the best reputation and trust for itself. If not, it will bounce back on its head. The locality that harbours you isn't an idiot, so if the allegations against the casino are getting too much and it is such that is not adding positively to the community, I think it will not be long for people to rebel against it. Playing by the book in the fairest possible way is the best way out here.
328  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: May 23, 2024, 05:42:55 PM
If KYC is must, I think they mustn't allow users play/use their casino until they fill their details and get accepted rather than let them deposit and play from the very beginning. It may be somewhere in TOS but letting them play/deposit but deny withdrawal asking KYC is totally unfair and somewhat scam/cheating. Then it will be like one way door. One can enter but can't exit.

We will need to understand their own side of view as well because all that matters here is just a business strategy and nothing more, the gambling platforms will prefer seeing that they allow gamblers have the first encounter with their platform and finds it easy to bet without having challenges in doing that, then to later request for kyc in which can be the only reason they can use to hold customers down to their platform for the sake of those that wont be able to provide the requirements for it.

You are right in what you say; it is the right of any casino to require KYC from their users. Even if we say that in the beginning they didn't say that there was anything, that doesn't mean they can't require it. Of course, it's not like that because they make the rules.
No, that is for the KYC casinos only, it is certainly not correct if you are generalizing things here. It is never the right of ALL casinos to request for KYC completion but rather the right of casinos that do not advertise no-KYC. We should often differentiate things to avoid misconceptions for some people. No-KYC casinos do not have the right whatsoever to ask you to complete any KYC, after all, you might have joined the casinos due to that mantra. So why are they requesting and forcing you to complete KYC? And of course, when you register with them, being a no-KYC casino means that they can't have anything to hold you in their terms and conditions, so they do not have any right over you because the terms and conditions will ever be silent about the KYC but will rather embolden you to go on with them without fear.

However, if they later change their mind and want you to provide the KYC, then their terms and conditions must have changed by then which by law requires them to convey it to you and you must also agree to it before you can provide them with the KYC to relinquish your right, and that is subjected to the fact of whether or not you still want to gamble with them. I know many would be forced to complete the KYC by the casino in this case since they may not have any choice, but legally, they do not have any right to force you against what you signed up for. The worst they can do is to tell you to withdraw your money and leave their casino. It is only the KYC casinos and those who clearly wrote it in their terms and conditions that you have to do the KYC that have the right in every sense.
329  Economy / Gambling / Re: BC.Game asking for KYC before letting me Withdraw on: May 23, 2024, 05:17:04 PM
It will be not easy for the casinos nor 3rd party KYC service to validating the document like that.
Actually, there are still many casinos that accept driving license as a substitute for an ID card (basic KYC), however a passport is usually still required for the advanced level KYC.
Incorrect! I have seen multiple crypto gambling sites accepting driving license for advanced KYC over time. Apart from it, they usually accept multiple ID proofs apart from passport.

It's op's bad luck that passport was required which he didn't possess due to which this simple matter got complicated basically.
I don't see anything incorrect in what @Sunderland said because that is what I have witnessed. The fact that you've not witnessed it doesn't make it incorrect. In my experience, some companies believe that the most genuine ID you can provide is your international passport and I share in their view with a high degree of agreement. This is because it is easy for anyone to doctor their ID cards, be it national ID cards, Driver's Licence, voter's card/right and so on. If people actually doctored it and are not able to know through their own internal tools, the best way to know is to contact the issuing authorities for verification. This will surely be difficult to do all over the countries of the world and will cost them more money. But for the international passport, it can be easily verified even by their country's government whether it's genuine or not.

For this, there are times that you might submit the regular ID but the company would reject it and ask for the international passport. And there are times that you might have been using the regular IDs submitted for verification for many years but suddenly, the company might request for your international passport to do additional verification. This has happened to people I know before, but it's no big deal since they have it all ready.
330  Economy / Gambling / Re: Guide for newcomers Start a fun and profitable gambling entertainment journey o on: May 23, 2024, 04:57:23 PM
On the moment that you have started on playing gambling and then ends up on being a winner in the end of the day then of course it would really be creating such kind of assumption or generalization that winning in gambling wasnt that so hard and this is something that will really be that pushing you to play even further because you've been able to have a good start up until the reality would be slapping you into the face. It is really just that common on having that kind of emotion on the moment that we would really be dealing up with gambling. Guides and recommendation is something that will really be that ignored or something that wont really be heard out. Why? when we are still starting then we would really be likely following up all the things that we do have in mind. You would really be that starting up to listen others advises on the moment that you would really be losing money.
Absolutely right. 
A beginner player usually thinks that he himself is smart enough to win not only at the very beginning of the game, but also in subsequent games.  And he, being euphoric from his first win, thinks that there will be more wins than he will lose.  Of course, most likely he understands that losses will be frequent.  But still, hope drives his further play.  And of course, a beginner will usually ignore the advice of experienced players. 

But the advice is quite simple: beginner!  remember about self-control and learn to stop playing in time, even when you really want to win back the lost money.
Just like on what i had pointed out that experience would be your best or main teacher not only just that limited to gambling but also in other things as well just like i said which this is something to be that common scenario or condition for most people. They wont really like on getting advised or being taught on what they should gonna do. This is why i dont really like on making some comments or making
up some advises into other people when it comes on how they would really be spending their money.This is why it would really be better on letting them be on what are the things that they do like or want to do.

Just as said that they wont really be loving on hearing out some advises but rather they would really be preferring on following on what are those voices that inside of their head.
They wont really care with those initial loses as long they do have that project that their winnings are more that with their loses, when reality slaps you in the face
then this is where you would be making these realizations.


Good words, but I don't like to see a guide on how to be profitable or earn money. It's all about fun and emotions. You can't rely on gambling as earning!
That is okay bro and I respect your opinion here. So be it that it is the fun you only seek in gambling or that you at least view it towards, but still, are you telling me that if you see a means that could be earning for you, you will avoid it? I do not get it. Fine, gambling is a very risky avenue, this might have prompted what you said, but giving it a try can never be a bad idea in my opinion. No matter what I read online that can earn for me, I will try to give it at least my minutes to try to get the gest because if I'm not interested I can at least tell others that might. It is until that thing is later deemed not meaningful or constructive that will make it piss me off.

That is by the way though, since we all know that gambling is risky, that fact alone is what I know that is encouraging you and not the fact that money can't be made from it. And really, gambling has all it takes to help anyone who knows what to do with it. If one can ensure that they learn a gambling strategy, and have planned even as they aree budget and managerial inclined towards it, then they are solving the issue bit by bit. They will now have to apply wisdom in the area of good psychology and get so disciplined and determined for better gambling engagements.
331  Economy / Gambling / Re: Predict the price of crypto and win! on: May 23, 2024, 08:24:02 AM
I just bookmarked your page as it seems that you have something reasonable to offer, I love predictive engagements as a trader and invest.

At first, I thought it was one of the regular styles we normally see in the forum but this seems to be unique after reading a few you have to say and I will give it time to study it more and the safety of my money as well if I have the time to go through it thoroughly this week. Even as I wish you well in this project, it is good advice if you advertise the project here on Bitcointalk.

Through this style you use, fine, some people will notice, but the volume will be so little. With the signature aligned, it will soon go viral and I know that if it is encouraging in practice just as it is in reading it, people will troop to it.

Good luck!
332  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is the exclusive stake.com bonus promoted on some sites legit? on: May 23, 2024, 07:59:14 AM
I have seen some sites advertise an exclusive bonus such as 200% up to $500 or even 200% up to $3000. Is this a legitimate bonus and why does Stake.com not have such a bonus? If so, when I play with this bonus, do the other reward programs that Stake offers to its players (weekly and monthly bonus, rakeback...) also count for me, or do I first have to fulfill the 40x requirement for the deposit bonus? Thanks in advance
What I can say in this regard is that anyone who comes across a thing like this should first contact Stake.com itself and not just assume that it is not possible to avoid missing out on good offers that are also true. There are different packages and promotions going on in companies all the time that may not even be general, so we should not conclude outrightly. It's possible that there are specific codes that will be imputed or direct links that will hint Stake that you are from this company/influencer/partners and for this purpose and package at the same time. If contacted, I am sure they will be able to advise you rightly.

However, be very careful with the links you click online, many might not be for any good. Some might take you to a replicated site or even cause phishing attacks on you, so be advised. And unless you trust a website, going directly to Stake.com is the best approach to go about registration and earning some offers.
333  Economy / Gambling / Re: What are your expectations for Casino coins in this coming bull run? on: May 23, 2024, 07:43:30 AM
Indeed, these tokens pay dividends if you hold them in casinos and steak them there. But for some reason nobody invests in them in a big way. Apparently, big investors do not trust casinos and do not want to keep their investments there, even if it will bring them income.

Big investors, if they do not trust casinos, are just missing the opportunity to earn good money. I don't think all of them are like that. Of course some people have been investing in gambling platforms because they know it's profitable, but I want to say to those rich people who don't trust casinos: you are right, don't just trust them, do your own research, and you'll be amazed by how much you are missing. If you ask me, whom to trust more just random crypto coins or Casino coins from established casinos, I would favour the latter.
Everything depends on belief. If one does not invest with risk without trusting his predictions and research,
not sure if in investment there is a Luck that we must basing because we are making research and studies
before putting ourt money meaning this is not luck but about knowledge and skills , prediction is not as complete
as that because we need to believe the project first.
This is beyond luck if the context here is to be adhered to. It is never about gambling alone but the risk/belief in investing in what the casinos have to offer as extra as well, which is their token. If it were to be the betting itself, then I could say luck is a very vital function here, but if it is about the investment in casino tokens, then I believe that expertise is to be rated higher while luck is given a minute reference. Gaming tokens are flooding the crypto space now, and just like memes, many of them are seriously performing well. Many of them are even performing so well in their presales and airdrop phase/programs. Just like Notcoin, it did well when it comes to the release of airdrops recently.

For this and for the reason that positive inclination is surrounding the gaming environment, a good speculator must have been reasonably hinted that casino tokens will have that opportunity to appreciate in this bull run if the entire crypto industry does not fail. This is a kind of graceful benefit in which the performance of the casinos themselves will add to how their token will perform. You can see that this is more practical than the luck you emphasized.
334  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Can we proudly tell people that we're Bitcoiners? on: May 23, 2024, 07:27:44 AM
-snip-
So my question is this, can we proudly tell people that we're Bitcoiners? And even if we do how can they be convinced that we're doing genuine work online since the society sees most people earning from online as fraudsters (Yahoo boys).
I think you are getting it all wrong from the beginning as regards the term used. Judging by what you narrated, you are referring to Bitcointaker and not Bitcoiner. Bitcoiners are those who are engaging in Bitcoin, and even if you are engaging in Bitcoin but still silent about it in this context, but instead refer to the forum itself as your source of income, then you are a Bitcointaker in my opinion.

Regardless, let anyone think whatever they want to think about you, so far you are earning through legitimate means, continue to do you and let your conscience do the rest. I expect anyone earning here (even if that's their only source of income) to be proud of it as they are Markerters. The last time I checked, marketing job is a very good job no matter how little you earn from it.

Anyone who is not satisfied with it should find you a better job or keep shut. Case closed!

In other words are trying to say that those who engage in Bitcoin activities doesn't get benefits attached to it like earning? Be it in the forum or not, anyone who engages in anything concerning Bitcoin are earning from it even if you are a hodler because a day shall come when you will want to sell part of the proceeds gotten from your Bitcoin investment so I don't think the term 'bitcoiners' I used is wrong
Not at all, I only replied to your post based on the content. I differentiated between Bitcoiners (those who earn through Bitcoin) and Bitcointalkers (those who participate in Bitcointalk and eventually earn from it). It's clear, you never mentioned Bitcoin earnings in your post but the forum earnings.

Quote
Now saying that what any marketing business that one is doing they should be proud of broadcasting it to others without fear of what people would say, what of in this current situation that the government is frowning at anyone involved in crypto activities even to the extent of instructing FINTECH banking system not to allow their customers to perform crypto transactions in their platforms? Can you still confidently announce that you are into Bitcoin or cryptocurrency?
Yes of course! I deal with cryptocurrency and I am so proud of it. There are still cryptocurrency establishments and businesses in the country, what has the government done to them? Let them anger people more than this so that people will start protesting and suing them. What is happening in the country is the case of a confused government giving polices and instructions that are conflicting, those guys are just dullards chasing shadows.

You know what, the Nigerian government and even the CBN have never banned or even restricted cryptocurrency activities directly (you can earn, hold, trade, stake etc. your crypto), but they are forcing banks (which will never sincerely comply since they have their loopholes) not to have anything doing with digital assets (be it USD, crypto and whatever is virtually exchanged for the NGN). They are desperately doing this to try to stabilise the Naira, but forgetting that that was never the cause of the woe of the national currency but poor policies, bad economic management and lack of FX inflow.

Since I do not steal, heck yeah, I will tell it even to the face of President Tinubu that I earn through crypto if he wants to know. We'll meet in court if they harass me. The government are only giving instructions to scare people, no law whatsoever is backing them if that is what you want to know.
335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Will always Survive on: May 23, 2024, 07:15:36 AM
In conclusion since Bitcoin has survived such attacks from government
You are very wrong that Bitcoin has survived the attack from the government, if the government attacked Bitcoin, it would have been a different story today. I can assure you that if the world government attacks Bitcoin today, it will not survive and even all the decentralised mechanisms around it and sites/platforms related to it will all be pulled down. This is because there will be a total clampdown on it (Bitcoin) and all the businesses around it including exchange.

You can imagine how huge the panic selling of Bitcoin would be by then, and it will get to the level that you will not be able to sell your Bitcoins again because no one will be willing to buy it from you. It is not until this time that you can say "the government has attacked Bitcoin." Restricting, banning and finding ways to regular Bitcoin transactions for the sanity of the world is not an attack, only that you guys are not appreciative of what the government is doing, particularly for not clamping down on Bitcoin.

The story is different if we talk about one government or all the governments of the countries combined, because 1 or 2 governments will never be able to stop or destroy bitcoin because bitcoin is decentralized. If a country bans or seeks to eliminate bitcoin, miners will move to another country, like the Chinese government did with bitcoin, but things will become serious if governments join forces and attack bitcoin then surely bitcoin will be difficult to survive.
You are correct about this, if it is a selective government clamping down on cryptocurrency, it will never be efficient and even the citizens and residents will be in that same country doing cryptocurrency...lol This is so possible with VPN and other ninja tools and they will never be able to suspect them not to mention of tracing them to face the law. Even in China, many people are doing cryptocurrency despite the tough stance of the government about it. This is to the point that early this year, China's central bank warned that hundreds of billions of USDT were transacted within a year, even as recently, an illegal underground banking operation transacting in the USDT was raided (https://www.theblock.co/post/294777/china-busts-1-9-billion-underground-banking-operation-using-usdt). Can you imagine? This means that a selective country clamping down on cryptocurrency cannot work but coordinated clamping down on it. This was what birthed my reply to the OP, even as he never mentioned a selective government but generalised them.

In my country it is difficult enough to find a psychologist, but there is no serious problem with gamblers. May be we have enough other problems, to take care about gamblers, i don`t know. But I saw just two men who had problems with gambling. I know about the first of them - he lost all his money, divorced his wife, but began new life and(as i know) he is far from any type of casino. About the second I can say nothing - I`ve seen him about 6 years last time.
But i`m sure that it is only gamblers problem and he has to change his brains to understand that something is going wrong. Any kind of self exclude can`t help him.
I understand. There are some countries where some lines of work are scarce, but yet, in the most urban part of the country, I am sure that such service could still be easily found, only that the cost might not be comfortable. This is the main reason that the establishments relating to therapy and psychology are not so much booming in developing and third-world countries.

That said, I like to say that you might not be exposed to some facts of gambling issues compared to others, it all depends on the environment you are in and the kind of circle you keep. I am happy that you could still cite two examples, but I am sure that it will be worse elsewhere in the same country if you inquire about this. In as much as gambling is predominant in that country, you will always see the good, bad and ugly gamblers no matter what, and if you are not connected so well to some localities and personalities, you may never know.

Besides, I am still curious about the first example you gave here, are you saying the guy later got healed and stayed away from gambling or what? And could it be because he divorced his wife? I don't really get the gist, bro.
It is possible that i`m just far away from offline gambling and in online it is difficult enough to get some information about their problems or hobbies. So there are just two men with gambling problems who i know in real life. May be if i`ll become visit offline casinos, i`ll see more such addicts, but i don`t want it.
Oh, yes, prioritizing online gambling over offline gambling will not make you meet many physical people not to mention of knowing what is going on in their gambling life. Even if you did not meet them in person, if such gambling outlets are close to you, you will see some neighbours gambling, and from there you might be able to see for yourself and hear a few about their gambling lifestyle either from them or from people. From there as well, you might get to know what people are facing about gambling, especially those who are not using their common sense to do the right thing and be responsible in gambling.

Quote
About the first man. If i can believe him, he stopped only when lost his wife. Before it nothing could stop him. I know that several his friends include me talked with him about his problems with gambling, but it wasn`t interesting for him. And even when he divorced - he understood it later, about several weeks. Only after it he rebooted his life. I told it to show that it is difficult to help someone, who don`t see the problem. He need to get some sign to undestand it.
Oh, I see, the wife was forced to leave him due to his irresponsible gambling life? That is so possible, especially if the guy did not show concern for his family, particularly in the financial aspect of it. And yes, people may be tough to help when they are facing gambling issues, it is not until they are also willing to be helped that it will be easy for them. Can you see this guy, he learned his lesson the hard way, I don't just know why people will be wasting their lives away just to gamble. Why not moderate it?

If a Coin or a Cryptocurrency Project that has been launched and it is not increasing in value in the bull market while others are increasing tremendously, I advise you not to invest in that coin because if invest in it and it's not increase in value now till the bear market again then when do you think the coin will increase for you to make a profit.
This is very good advice and it is similar to what I just issued out in my last post to advise people against investing in crypto projects because they too much trust it and believe it is merely overvalued and that it will later buy more to shock everyone. This could cause issues in the long run and the coins/tokens that were so undervalued in your view might remain like that until the next bearish phase comes into play. So what is the gain of the investors when they eventually lose hugely?

There are coins/tokens now that I will not even go near anymore, the risk is high and I mostly judge them by what they've been doing since the last quarter of 2022. Since that time, the crypto market has had at least 4 different bull runs, and after each bull run, there were corrections as well. So if those cryptos were encouraging, they would have performed well by now or have a performance that would at least hint what would have at least given the investor hope.

But they are just sluggish, it will even be worse if someone buys at a higher level after struggling to get there. It will be easy for it to fall hugely during the bearish season.

So my question is this, can we proudly tell people that we're Bitcoiners? And even if we do how can they be convinced that we're doing genuine work online since the society sees most people earning from online as fraudsters (Yahoo boys).
I think you are getting it all wrong from the beginning as regards the term used. Judging by what you narrated, you are referring to Bitcointaker and not Bitcoiner. Bitcoiners are those who are engaging in Bitcoin, and even if you are engaging in Bitcoin but still silent about it in this context, but instead refer to the forum itself as your source of income, then you are a Bitcointaker in my opinion.

Regardless, let anyone think whatever they want to think about you, so far you are earning through legitimate means, continue to do you and let your conscience do the rest. I expect anyone earning here (even if that's their only source of income) to be proud of it as they are Markerters. The last time I checked, marketing job is a very good job no matter how little you earn from it.

Anyone who is not satisfied with it should find you a better job or keep shut. Case closed!

*Does doing regular exercise before and during trading activity help ones chance to make good returns or is it not reason enough to help a trader earn better during trading?
Oh my God!!! Where did you dive to this time? Smiley Well, those car racers or other people/athletes engaging in physical activities need the exercise since what they are planning to achieve is physical and they must attain some kind of shape, speed, and flexibility in most cases. But trading is never like that, it is such that need more of your psychology and prowess (all mental), so you can see the difference. And once you can move your hands to place the order and do other few things which are the easiest physical things to do here, then you are good to do.

Fine, on the deeper thought, the exercise could be useful in a way since our brain function and daily liveliness, smartness, alertness, activeness etc. could be linked together today. But it is still not necessary in trading as all that you need is inside of you just make sure you have a bright day, and good psychology for trading and you will be just fine without any exercise.

In conclusion since Bitcoin has survived such attacks from government
You are very wrong that Bitcoin has survived the attack from the government, if the government attacked Bitcoin, it would have been a different story today. I can assure you that if the world government attacks Bitcoin today, it will not survive and even all the decentralised mechanisms around it and sites/platforms related to it will all be pulled down. This is because there will be a total clampdown on it (Bitcoin) and all the businesses around it including exchange.

You can imagine how huge the panic selling of Bitcoin would be by then, and it will get to the level that you will not be able to sell your Bitcoins again because no one will be willing to buy it from you. It is not until this time that you can say "the government has attacked Bitcoin." Restricting, banning and finding ways to regular Bitcoin transactions for the sanity of the world is not an attack, only that you guys are not appreciative of what the government is doing, particularly for not clamping down on Bitcoin.
