No such thing as fate, that meant that everything that happens to you, you deserve it when in reality it's not. I don't know if it's been said in this thread already but the people that blames the unseen forces/fictional personas for their downfall in gambling and losses are people that are afraid of themselves and doesn't have the capability to carry the responsibility of their actions. Afraid of themselves because they can't believe that they're responsible to their own actions.
i agree, it seems to me that it is a way to avoid the harsh truth, the truth that we've made a mistake and it's our fault, it is really hard for a human being to accept he's wrong easily, we always try to find something else that can take the blame for us, and in this case people say it's faith which is for me an easy one to avoid taking the blame no wonder why a lot of people say it all the time.
I concur, I understand that there are those that are deeply philosophical and could see on what they do the hand of fate having a say, but most people are not like that, when I see people blaming fate for something bad it happened to them most of the time what is really happening is that they are trying to point the finger at something and they have nothing else but fate to point at, they are trying to avoid the responsibility of their actions and unfortunately that leads them to make the same mistakes over and over again.
Natural for some people who cant just accept losses and really took out some blame into someone or something just for them to wash their hands that they hadnt committed any mistake.
And this would continue into their future gambling activity and would have the same impression and blaming into the same thing.Fate is something you are the ones you do make off
and its not a fixed one but rather a dynamic which would really be basing up on the things that you've been doing.
3202  Economy / Economics / Re: knowledge and Capital which is Very important in Business or Investment? on: September 16, 2021, 10:58:01 PM
Actually from a small capital, we can still do it and can develop it step by step until it becomes a high profit. This is where knowledge and insight can drive it. High capital is indeed important for higher results, but we don't need to force ourselves with each of our circumstances, at least we try our best and do everything as well as possible.
We know that success will not come instantly, and enjoying the process of success is means a lot.
While you can still have success with a small level of capital at the same time it is not as easy as it sounds, with a smaller capital you will still need to pay all the fees that exchanges charge you and this is a bigger burden the smaller your capital is, so you need to be careful when you are trading with such a small sum of money which means that your path to success will have to be even slower, which could lead to desperation and force you to make small mistakes that become huge when your capital is so small.
Doesnt really matter whether you do have big or small capital because what matter most is the risk management you do have and the consideration of those fees and other reductions along the way.

You should have knowledge and capital whether you do tend to make a business or investment since those are important factors where you do need to have in order to succeed or sustain this market.

Everything is important and should be on consideration because if you dont have these things then you would really be having some hard time in dealing with it.
And I disagree, it matters and it matters a lot, if you have a capital of 100 dollars and another trader has a capital of one million if you both make the same trade and you earn 1% you only earned one dollar while the other trader earned 10k, that is a massive difference in the outcomes, which means that your starting capital can be a huge factor when determining your success, obviously it is not everything as you still need the right knowledge but without it you cannot make any significant amount of money.
Its just common sense that difference of money or profit that they could take which is understandable because of the capital that had been put up.What matter most here is sustainability
because $100 could make it bigger if they do continue to be profitable but not on the point that it could really reached up that guy/trader that has a million of capital.Well, reality sucks but doesnt
mean that you should stop on reaching your goal.Knowledge is a must because if you dont have any idea on what you are doing then you are just basically doing some gambling stuff.
3203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Uk most deprived areas have the Highest number of gambling outlets. on: September 16, 2021, 09:55:54 PM
Comparing out online and offline casinos then i can say that they are still having some good share when it comes to revenue since there are still people who do gamble out on physical places
because people do much prefer on having real experience rather than playing online.So its a personal kind of preference since not all would be having the same interest.
Speaking off deprived areas on where those gambling places been placed on then its bit understandable that most of poor people residing will really be likely
to make gambling as an option to make some income which means losing is inevitable and thats a sure income to the casino owners.

the demographics of online casinos are probably quite different as well since they are not limited by place and can access people in different economic situations

there's that, the house always wins, regardless of medium

It is true that the house will be the final winner for whatever reason. Even someone who says that he has won the Jackpot, actually behind it all he does not say how much money he has spent before making a profit. Maybe 100x the deposit made for just one win. So back to the casino house that with the calculations that can be obtained, the casino is the winner.

This is something I agree with! We only saw him hit the jackpot once, but if you add up everything he spent, I believe it would be half of his winnings if we were lucky, but it was still a profit. That is how gambling works; some people lose a lot of money, while others win a lot of money. It is extremely difficult if everyone wins, and if everyone loses, then no one will play, and only the casino owners will become wealthy.
Just a common sense because not all would really be lucky and gambling industry wont really become big if players would see that they are always on losing side. A few wins could really wipe off those frustrations and
the cycle would continue until the people would really get addicted and that simply means that it is really making some revenue to casino owners.They do always have the edge and it isnt surprising.
I agree that it doesnt matter on what would be medium would be but chances or odds of winning and losing would really be just the same.It is just varying or to be different in terms of
profits on each person.
3204  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin better than Fiat? on: September 16, 2021, 08:58:00 PM
Bitcoin gives us solution for the limitations which exists in fiat currency. Bitcoin and crypto might have some different limitations. Both the currency formats have their own pros and cons. It depends on how we are looking at it. Crypto is in early stage of development so it would be too fast to compare it with other forms of currencies.
That notwithstanding, haven't you seen the way in which most fiat currencies around the globe are becoming worthless with the high rate of inflation coupled with the high level of fiat printing in some countries? Bitcoin /cryptocurrencies in general and I mean the top ones are a good place to invest and kinda save you funds these days and even make good profits from it too but this is of cause not saying Bitcoin will replace fiat but at the moment, I will rather have my assets in Bitcoin than hold Fiat.   
Infaltion is there but we cant really deny that we are still living in a world on where it is heavily dependent on fiat and i dont see any reason on why Bitcoin should really be compared off with fiat and minding that
it could be replaced by it anytime soon?  Its an impossible thing yet fiat would still remain even though lets say that it is much better with fiat but it would still remain no matter what.
There are things which Fiat do really function to be more efficient compared to bitcoin.Im not belittle on bitcoin but this is the truth.
3205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greatest Gambling Losers on: September 16, 2021, 07:36:10 PM
I will never use the word Greatest in this part , Losers never become greatest mate that is a contradicting word  Grin

but those are surely the worst gamblers recorded and not greatest  Grin

The topic piqued my interest, how could one loss be the greatest, that should be like worse loser as the topics misrepresented the contents.

On the contrary, gambling is a mystic addiction that is always difficult to overcome, I still find it difficult to accept a loss on my $20 deposit on every spinning in an online casino, let alone betting thousands and millions of dollars, I will collapse if I am in any of their shoes, but I trust myself because I know my risk limits.
As long you do know your risk limits then it should be fine but if not then for sure you would really be experiencing some problems later on this is why you should really be aware of your actions specially when
you do deal or get engage with gambling.When it comes to losses then this would really be a very long or never ending lists since people are different in terms of financial capacity which simply means that
losing amount would really vary and it would be sky is the limit.Losers is much more in terms of number compared to winners and this is the reality of gambling field.
3206  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: [scalpers] Don't just join a moving train on: September 15, 2021, 11:51:04 PM
Scalping is not that easy, you must still know what to buy and having a good timing is necessary. Scalping are focus more on the price movement and they didn’t bother if they enter at peak, because they’ll sell right away and jump into other opportunities. Scalping can really drain you, because you are chasing the market but of course if you already know how to do this, then you can have a good profit everyday.
Not really that easy because volatility would really be your main enemy but also your friend when it do goes into the path you are expecting.I dont really see or can compare it on a train because theres no way that it could
go back literally.It is just rather something on being a car where it could go backwards from time to time and drop you on where you are before. Dont risk out on playing with scalping if you arent that ready
but somehow you cant really know if you can do it if you wont try.Just dont push that hard because this type of trading isnt for everybody.

We understand what you're trying to say but just because we are using the same theme, that doesn't mean that we are identical. They promote casinos with bonuses, free spins, faucet bonuses and how to start gambling with Bitcoin. Their prime focus is on that while we, on the other hand, promote fairness and that's the huge difference between our platforms.

On that note, as we expand, we will do our best to make the whole site from scratch. We've planned that for quite some time now but never got the time to actually do it.
You got the point though but it would be better if you do at least make out some differences because people on this community is really a bit keen nor minding off about templates,designs and UI
and if they do find out something similar then it do end up on being an issue.So its not bad to have some bit changes towards it but if not then its up to your choice.
Im bit impressed on sites been listed which i do recognize all of them.
3208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is CoinMarketCap a scam? on: September 15, 2021, 09:59:12 PM
According to Coinmarketcap ranking criteria, for being eligible to be listed among the top 200, the coin/token must fulfill some requirements.
Most probably, the token you are talking about doesn't meet the requirements and that's why it's not displayed in the first two pages. 
Probably or most likely this had been the reason on where a certain project hadnt able to meet up the requirements thats why it isnt displayed on 1-2 pages and if you are really that kind of investor whom do check out on

the coins that you are possesing into and find out that it isnt on the right ranking then you would really be basically having these kind of reactions which isnt really surprising.
I dont see to be a scam but rather misleading on some case but high likely the link given above is the culprit or reason.
3209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prayer and gambling. on: September 15, 2021, 09:18:22 PM
really interesting topic  Grin
it reminds me of a Brazilian music by "emicida" which sings: "it's crazy how it almost never works, but pray"

tricky one since sometimes it could all be just a big coincidence, but in this case won't hurt either so, why not?
We can really try and there’s no bad in praying, just don’t expect that much because most of the gamblers are also praying to win. We also have this culture since we’re a Catholic country majority of us, so we’re praying for everything including to win in gambling, and there’s no bad effect of this one just don’t depend on it and accept that in gambling, luck is still the key to win.

I talked about it sometimes here but its not always luck, of course it plays a role but some games like poker are way more skill games than luck games
regarding praying, if we both play the same game and pray for the same god, god would favor one instead of the other? based on what?

totally worth watching this Indian movie on Netflix: PK
quite interesting takes on Religion
That would be a big question which should really be answered yet we do pray on the same God which means who would really be favored out?This simply implies that prayer wont really fit out on asking out some luck
or winning chance in gambling or even in simple things in life that do involve some decisioning because we cant really tell if there are divine intervention or involvement on every outcome or results that
we do encounter thats why we shouldnt really mind off that much that it is really that connected but it isnt really bad if you do have this kind of beliefs.
3210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A good man/woman leaves an inheritance on: September 15, 2021, 07:42:58 PM
It is always good to think way ahead in the future and plan things carefully and especially if you are thinking about loved ones and the close people to you, but in the case of bitcoin i think that it is quite difficult to pass it on to someone else if that you are planning to keep things secure, and that is why in my opinion you should always try to make the best of your profits and enjoy them to the best you can because we don't know whne are we going to die or what the future holds for us, or take that money that you get and invested in something tangible or keep it in cash in case you want to pass it on to someone else.
A must thing unless if you are that selfish then you wouldnt really be tending to share up those riches that you had stored but rather choose up that you will much prefer on losing it all rather than benefited by your loved ones.It might sounds dumb but there are actually people who had done this on where being selfish is their main thing and i cant really see that point because nothing beats up the feeling that it do gives
when you do know that there's someone could benefit it out and thinking off that you've been trying your best to give them a good life then why wouldnt you able to do so about talking inheritance?
3211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concern about the the problem of online underaged gamblers. on: September 14, 2021, 11:51:59 PM
If they're gambler at such a young age, they're going to need some government intervention because clearly the parents can't handle the children and guide them towards the right path in life. We need to teach would be parents and even parents that it's okay to monitor online activities of their children so as to prevent them from being introduced in vices that can be harmful to their formative years and can result in having a bad adulthood.
This can only be prevented if the casinos will ask for a KYC which should not be the first option in crypto gambling since we know, we value our identity and we love to stay private but if those underaged gamblers increases, better to implement this one so we can still save their lives even if their parents are not helping at all. This is alarming, gambling will just ruin their life government should do something about it especially now that the world runs most of the time online.

Parents have limitations on how long they can monitor their children. As they can't watch them 24/7, maybe instill to their kids the value of money and be open to discussions like gambling games. Don't be too hard on them when you caught them playing game but be open to discuss things so they will not hide it from you. With this, you will know what extent they are in, if in case they will continue to play.
Definitely true thats why it is really hard to watch over them and check out if theyre dealing with something isnt appropriate for their age and this is why its important to tell them while they are young and make them realize
that they should avoid gambling or its a bad thing even though its a bit exaggerated but it is much better for them to think off that way and once they do already get matured then they are at least able to realize that
the things that we had been saying into those younger years are definitely right and we might able to save them up for some possible addiction.
3212  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trading got to do with profit and lose,is it true? on: September 14, 2021, 10:53:35 PM
Investing and trading are two different things. If it is said that trading will gain profits and losses, of course that is the case, so is investment. But the two things are still different. Back to the topic of trading, usually people will buy coins and then sell them by looking at the current market conditions, they must monitor market developments as often as possible so they are not left behind with golden moments. Trading can make a person experience profits and losses, so it is very important to do a market analysis before trading.
As long as they can research to find the coin, they will not lose the money because they only buy the right coin. But with the market situation now, it is not easy to buy the coin, even if you buy the top coins such as bitcoin, ethereum, bnb or else because the market price has now become unstable. But if you buy bitcoin, ethereum, or bnb for the investment, that can have a chance to give you a profit in the future. So maybe you can stick to bitcoin and only use the other coins for trade to make additional profit besides bitcoin.
For potential coins then its likely to happen but it wont really be giving out some assurance because this is something that includes risk and nothing cant really be predicted on what would happen ahead.
Trading is indeed having that two just outcomes whether you do profit or lose and thats why some people do decide to simply hold rather than on having active trades yet they cant really just afford
to deal with active moving prices or simply with volatility and this is why on the time you've decided to deal with trading then you should be at least aware of these things
rather than messing up directly because you didnt expect for these things to happen.
3213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Uk most deprived areas have the Highest number of gambling outlets. on: September 14, 2021, 09:53:34 PM
If someone is opposing 100% legal business by giving stupid arguments, then be sure that he is doing that on the behalf of someone else who has an ulterior motive in doing so. The article in The Guardian gives an impression that they want to remove gambling joints from poor areas in order to prevent lower class people from losing their money. But in reality the intention is not that noble. The real intention is to close down businesses that generate good number of direct and indirect jobs, and thereby create unemployment and chaos. Gamblers will continue with their activity, either at casinos close to their home, or at a distance from where they are residing in.

Gamblers will still visit them even though the casino is quite far away. A gambler would visit him and take big bets. With online casinos they don't have to travel far, and offline casinos will be short of income. The workers do not get income, because their place is deserted which in the end unemployment actually exacerbates the problem.
Comparing out online and offline casinos then i can say that they are still having some good share when it comes to revenue since there are still people who do gamble out on physical places
because people do much prefer on having real experience rather than playing online.So its a personal kind of preference since not all would be having the same interest.

Apparently the "famous" recovery plan didn't work as expected, the price never recovered from the attack and is stable at around 4-6 dollars and the market cap reached the pre-bull run level.
I'm still not giving up with this coin, if a new bull run occurs, then it should experience a price rise given by the new investors (so a hypothetical turnover) that could substitute the old ones that suffered the massive loss.
What do you think about this idea?....looks acceptable?

Your choice since its your money to be spent or invest on such project.Im not really aware of this project though but this is just the same on most projects where they do really dump out and there would be always
a 50-50 chance in talking about recovery because this is something that cant really be predicted or known on because there are projects which does have potential but eventually didnt able to pull off on having
some recovery after such dump or price decrease.You cant really say its dying as long its still listed but once liquidity drops down then its safe to presume.

you can see all types of corruption even in sports. i guess, they are not special not to be excluded with this long running prob of humanity. and sadly to say, we can't avoid such circumstances from happening as it is like innate human behaviour.
even in selection of players, there will always be something that will come up as unfair to some of them. i guess, we just need to accept such fact but if you are aggrieved of the situation and directly involved, you can always seek justice if you want. but such ordeal will be long and tiresome process. a reality check that we all need to admit.
Don't say that BS that it's inevitable or unavoidable, if the parents teach their kids the right thing then we will see something different slowly come up when the new generation rolls out, it's the way we raise the children that we will be able to slowly destroy corruption.
Its an important thing but not an assurance that when they do grow up they wouldnt really go into that path considering that there would lots of factors that could really affect along the way.
I agree somehow that this is something that cant really be avoided nor really get rid of it but there are still ways on at least easing this kind of situation.
Corruption is something that cant really be totally resolved out.
3216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a safe haven? on: September 13, 2021, 10:56:52 PM
here I did not see any bad.So if people call it bad then accept it,This is a very safe haven for me.
We basically cannot say that no bad thing in Bitcoin investment. Volatility can be a bad thing if someone doesn't know how to deal with Bitcoin. That's why it is a must to have sufficient knowledge if someone wants to invest in Bitcoin. It is not a very safe investment, it is a high-risk investment. But the good thing is that Bitcoin offers possible bigger profits. We must admit this fact, don't think it is a really safe heaven.


People should really be putting up into their minds about that thing that risk is always on attached on things even theyre dealing with the most supported crypto which is Bitcoin.Volatility will really be the issue
but also a main thing on why people do really make out profits in long term.Safe haven is something talking about protecting yourself on such risk which is impossible because if you do deal with crypto
investment then you do automatically tying up yourself into risk which you should really be aware of it on the first place if you dont like to mess up later on.
3217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: September 13, 2021, 09:52:37 PM
It seems to me that where people are poor, the crime rate will be high regardless of how gambling is regulated and whether it exists at all (permitted or prohibited). Poverty causes destructive behavior and any normal thing (like gambling) becomes destructive too. Therefore, in my opinion, any government should first of all help the population get rich - this will help in resolving many related problems.

the rich have a more destructive way of causing crimes with much greater pain than the destruction that the poor cause, the main casino customers are rich and people who have more stable living conditions (I'm talking about people who have a house, food on the table and they manage to have a more stable life even if they don't have a big income) and these people most of them use drugs and are in the criminal world as gang leaders, and the poor in poor neighborhoods are just pawns.

To be honest, I don't understand where you got such data - maybe you just mean the former poor people who received a lot of money through criminal activity? Such people, due to their low level of fantasy and claims, of course spend them on drugs and other destructive behavior. Ordinary people who earn money (even big ones) in an honest way will not ruin their lives.

I think what he's trying to say is that rich people and educated ones always take the advantage to poor people, like building a gambling business in a very deprived area. And it's true that rich people are often using drugs and other illegal activities but they will never be caught since they have protection from powerful politicians and so on. But somehow this argument is a little bit off topic on OP's thread that tackles being a responsible gambler.

Because no matter what life status you have, making a decision will be always on your responsibility as a person, and that shouldn't be blame on others if you failed.
Self will and decision is something that do differs in all human beings since we do have it once we had already matured enough on deciding on what are the things that would really be good for us.
Somehow there would really be difference in terms of opportunities that someone gets because they do really have that advantage but it doesnt mean that you wont really be making out yourself
on making out good decisions for your own sake.Dont mind about their advantages or something like that because it wouldnt really be just having no sense.

Look at the chart that was provided by @Tytanowy Janusz. There's no way in hell a flash crash will scare me, it's not the worst crash there is so no point getting scare, the only people who get scared are either not looking back into the past, doesn't have a lot of bitcoin or doesn't have any bitcoin, and people that have a short sighted goal.

in fact we don't feel the Bitcoin market is over. People who are afraid just because the market has started to enter the red line does not mean this will all end and be destroyed. Bitcoin is still as usual and is still at a high price. If compared to last year then the OP should know that the current price is not comparable and be frightened.
Common reactions of people who doesnt know about well about this market or just simply new into this market.They got scared and freak out when see dumps and have FOMO when they do see some rally.
These are common reactions but when someone had experienced some losses then thats the time they do realize on how market works and would really be careful on next time that they would be dealing with.
Being scared is not avoidable because we are really on investment world and its impossible that you would be happy when  you do see losses on your port.
Thing here is that you do learned up from your past mistakes.

What are your thoughts?, What are the possible solutions to the problem of the rising number of online underaged gamblers?

I could say that this kind of problem is somewhat cant really be resolved nor get rid of it due to the technology that we do have today.This is something that cant really be stopped completely but somehow it could be able
to be controlled via some programs or even just simply inside on the house where you do really give out awareness into your children about the risk of getting addicted to gambling and with this alone then you
can at least somehow stop out for your children on getting engage with gambling and getting addicted at least but it is actually on someones personal take as they gets older.

I am not sure if this will happen only in 5-10 years later, too fast and this world seems not ready enough. Moreover, every country has different conditions. many people are still living in traditional ways, markets, and also payment methods.
Crypto has been more than 10 years, but in my country itself, most people still don't even attract or know about crypto. And crypto is not legal as payment here. So, the government will not let fiat over only 5-10 years later.
Wont happen even on 20 years.Everything might go digital but in the sense that fiat did really make a great role in the past and as long government do exist then its impossible that it would be overtaken
or having some total swap or integration through digital but since we dont know on what would happen in the future then its really that not a sure thing if this would happen or wont.
Basing up on how fast we do progress on then we can really tell that there might be some chances of probabilities but its hard to believe that it would really gone exist that easily
