Well, I guess this helps as a start-up test towards these food chains in identifying whether crypto payments would or would not actually bring them any advantages or they could perfectly be fine without it until the time where Bitcoin adoption shoots up. I'm honestly with the latter ngl, they have no need to enforce it quickly imo, in the first place, the only reason why those stores were accepting Bitcoin was because El Salvador legalized Bitcoin as legal tender. No real advantage for food chains and other stores, advantage though towards advertising of adoption of crypto.

Why was China even mentioned anyway? Is this a comparison of how Nigeria and China both have bans (or at least, something of similar) on Bitcoin? From a simple lookup even with the ban on Bitcoin by the CBN, the cryptocurrency scene is still growing pretty well due to the existence of p2p trades. I'm not particularly sure how well, though it isn't on the level of Bitcoin being completely non-existent in their country I'd suppose.

Uh no, there's no difference in the results (or luck factor) when playing manual or automatic, that's just you (and pretty much many others) relying on superstitious beliefs or something similar to create a defense mechanism about their luck being bad all the time lmao. It's a matter of enjoyment really, whether to play automatic or manual, but the process would always be the same even if the situation was done in either manual or automatic.
Up to this. Well I'd reckon it isn't the worst, it just depends on your bankroll, but it is definitely one of the bad ones especially with a low starting amount.

Nope, I'd rather have them talk to me properly rather than doing it like this which is really a half-assed way of actually asking for money or managing it for me (assuming that there's a problem really). Heck, I'd actually restore my trust earlier to a foreigner who scammed me rather than my parents scamming me, since really, it's just a really stupid way of dealing with their child.

That doesn't mean though that low ROI projects aren't scams. There are still some out there, especially ones that actually bide their time. Those ones are the really devious ones imo since they're actually trying to gather the money slowly while thinking investors would still get profit in years. Really, I'd rather get my money scammed rather than my time.

Uhh Im just going to assume that what you mean is that investors entering the market to trade should be prepared to lose, and is always as such really, no matter the asset you're investing whether it be in stocks, crypto, heck, even information, human resources, businesses, etc. Investing in anything means that you can always lose out on it instead of profiting. Yes, gathering info and investing in proper ones could give you higher chances of profiting, but that's it, it isn't a guarantee, in the end it's still a "chance".

I'd think it's either of the two, against an AI or against each other. Against an AI is like how blackjack works I guess? With a bit more rules maybe to make it more fun, a specific rule to be exact, not that I'd know what would make it more fun. Maybe something like instead of taking the total of each dice of the player, it should be made into combinations that give more points depending on if they built something or not. The against player one would basically be the same, but against other players instead.
At least read what OP said and not just the first word of the topic title lmao.

Rule #1, never trust anyone, even your close friends or family, when they recommend to you something. DYOR, it's the age of the internet, a simple lookup would have enough information on whatever you're actually trying to find/look for. If it's too good to be true, then it's most likely a scam. An opportunity? You gotta look for those yourself, you think it'd just knock on your door and let you know that "hey, I'm an opportunity, take me"? Don't be afraid of asking questions, it's your safety at stake after all.

True, in the first place, you gambled money knowing of the fact that you would lose money. That's why the words gamble responsibly is often released out there for people to take to heart after all. As for winning, well, really it's all up to luck, just that most gamblers simply take into account their own luck. They should always take into account that their own luck isn't the only one that's being considered when playing cards like poker, it's against other players' luck as well. It's like a PVP battle of not the players, but rather the luck of the other players BUT the amount of luck is hidden behind the bluffs and whatnot of the players.

Well it isn't limited to being a currency in the first place, proof of it being what it is right now as a form of asset that people can invest in, not to mention that the adoption of Bitcoin towards being used as a currency still has quite a lot of walls to break down, not to mention that an agreement between a consumer and a merchant needs to be done in the first place before the usage of Bitcoin as a currency is established. If only one side adopts it, then it wouldn't or rather, couldn't really be used as a currency, and it would take time for it to adapt to the world. It is, after all, a currency that is quite free, both for how we use it and for how it is adopted, only willing users would use it and no one would really force someone else to adopt it.

That's limited to a certain number of games though and doesn't really encompass the entirety of the scope of what "gambling" is. It's not like reading how a dice differs from other types of dice games would increase the chances of you actually winning. It's all the same, it's all about luck. Sides, even without properly reading the cards in a card game, a well-played bluff could potentially net you huge profits at the cost of a bad draw, I'd say that it's pretty worth it. Some may not even know how it works, they just have the courage to do so since why not right?

There's no technique really in playing dice, maybe bankroll management, but that's it. There's no such thing even as someone mentoring you when gambling, like hell, dice isn't even that complicated of a game. A doctor maybe, but a mentor? Nah. I'd be more worried about your mental health compared to the non-existent possibility of you actually having steady chances of winning in a dice game. Sides, if your so called mentor truly knew what gambling was, he himself would know, no one could beat the house, the biggest winner by the end would still be them.

Man made, it was a rather sharp drop after all, and a bunch of other traders followed suite, whether it be through stop loss or panic selling, they all joined it since it was a rather abrupt drop. It wasn't really anything big imo, it managed to stop itself before dropping even more after all. Still it was kind of expected since the market always does a pump or a dump, difference is, this one just wasn't gradual which is how it usually is, except when it's a bubble I think. I don't even think it was a single force that managed to do it, it's mostly different forces imo that did that and the rest just followed suit.

But it isn't exactly the best type of job to give to people. There are a lot more other businesses out there that could generate more jobs for people to take. Take for example, general merchandise type of stores, even more so if it were made into a chain type of stores in multiple areas, in fact, just the construction of buildings for businesses already generate jobs for others, so them making a gambling establishment to help people doesn't really make much sense. Ofc, if that was us taking into account them only wanting to help, if it was only for pure profitability, then yea, gambling would be one of the better options.

Well they should simply take it slow. Taking trading as something that gives instant profit just because you entered it is one of the few expectations that newbies have (I myself am included), but really it's not. If you were going to dedicate yourself to trading, it may take years for you to actually get comfortable with it and get profit. It takes experience, and even with that, a profit isn't a guarantee that's why take it slowly. You're not going to stay there for a short time, but rather for a very long time, might as well take your time with it.

Honestly, I'd choose to invest over trading anytime, especially if you aren't prepared to spend hundreds of hours learning how the market works, possibly together with losing hundreds to thousands depending on your budget just to understand how to break even for each day. If I were to be asked is it worth the investment, it definitely is if you continue doing so but if you were to ever stop midway, it's really not worth it since you basically lost a lot for nothing.
I'd generally avoid p2p marketplaces when you're still starting out. Centralized exchanges may be much more strict on KYC, but it's a lot safer and has a lot more room for errors compared to p2p imo. It's beginner-friendly so to speak.

Well good luck with that, there's a bunch of other gambling casinos out there that have been operating much longer so the competition you'd get would probably be a lot. First few steps should be quite obvious, get a license to operate a gambling business, get some programmers and probably some other staff as well that would handle the day-to-day operations of the casino, then next would be understanding the name of your casino to other players, like for example, here. It'd probably be difficult for the casino to make profits if you don't have anything new to it or if you can't get it's name far, so do be careful with that.

Well one thing is for sure, the next country definitely won't be China, unless, ofc, some magical bat hit the leaders and magically made them forget about their hate towards stuff they can't control, then there's close to zero chance that they'd accept Bitcoin after all the shenanigans they did. I'd reckon the closest countries that would next accept it would be those that have much lenient laws and whatnot with regards to crypto, after all, I hardly doubt it would be popular in a country where laws about Bitcoin (or crypto in general) were in a tight leash.

Well tbh, sharing stuff, even if it was other than gambling seems to be pretty idk, odd? I'm the type of person to not share anything tbh and I've lived my life out well so far without the need to do so. Not that it's that comparable to not sharing about how we gamble, gambling has that negative connotation around it after all. People just judge you based on what they know, just like other examples such as sexual orientations and the like.

True. If you were to remain after that, really, it's not curiosity at fall by then, it's plainly yours. It's rather obvious how curiosity made you enter, but it's not curiosities fault that you stayed right?

Bitcoin, ETH would be the top choices most of the time for holding, XRP would be one of the next choices. Doge has also seen some traction though it's still honestly a risky investment for that one, up to you though you can DYOR about it. Generally, as others have said, any other top coins would work out in your favor if you're just holding it. You can also try out some NFT tokens, afaik most of them are go pretty high in the early stages then depreciate later on, so do remember that when investing on them.

It's not a scam, it's a business strategy. Such areas usually have low requirements and low fees to maintain and whatnot, making them the best place to construct businesses. One more point to view is that said area usually attracts more customers compared to places with rich people around it. If I were to be asked to pick between a single transaction that has a huge profit, or multiple transactions but with low profits, I'd definitely go for the latter since it guarantees more in the long run, unlike the former. It may seem heartless, but business is business, putting pity and whatnot before profit would make them failures as merchants.
