3302  Economy / Economics / Re: Oil and war Good profit on: May 19, 2021, 03:35:27 PM
Its Good to buy oil.
I guess its better then gold btc or other.
The war in gaza area and tel Aviv will do enough to push oil price high.

I guess many investors now Think about invest in this black gold Smiley 
Could be 10x Moon oil Moon bullish

It's pricey to invest in oil. As much as average people want to invest on it, their pockets won't just let them do so. Meanwhile, there are many investment vehicles that they could invest on at their convenience, that's why I don't see it as an "excellent" money-making investment for now. Although I must admit that it is really a good investment for big-time personalities and corporations. It offers high rewards especially if the season is high for demand.

What's the connection of war in Gaza and oil price hike? Can you please elaborate it? I'm clueless at the moment about it. I would really appreciate if you'll enlighten me.
3303  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk really has the ability to manipulate the bitcoin market on: May 19, 2021, 03:00:11 PM
Elon Musk is indeed influential and has the ability to cause movement of trend in bitcoin market. Musk is famous and successful businessman and investor which make people look up to him that much. Whenever he tweets something about cryptocurrency, people are always too quick to either buy and sell. Personally, I think he is a smartass. Millions of people are following him and he is using such opportunity to make the market move to his advantage.

Imagine, if he tweets about price drop prediction, majority are hurrying selling their coins. Which is a great chance for a big-time investor like him together with his colleagues because they can buy a coin at such low price because of market supply. This just a simple reminder that we shall not depend on someone regarding the price up or down. We shall use technical analysis to prevent loss and to gain profit. We shall not let the "whales" control the market flow.

3304  Economy / Economics / Re: A Sudden Price Drop in The Crypto Markets on: May 19, 2021, 02:31:19 PM
I think there's no need to worry about the sudden price drop. This is just normal, we all know that one of cryptocurrency's nature is volatility. It's just a phase for now, tomorrow or the next few days, surely the prices will recover and bounce back. It's too early for bearish market. No need to panic, mate. I suggest that instead of worrying without factual information, do a background check and compare the past records of market movement so that you'll know what to respond if ever any unexpected circumstance arise.
3305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: May 19, 2021, 02:00:56 PM
I have 2 questions which I would like everyone to please answer and based on the answers can we can have a clear picture.

1- Would you gamble at a crypto-casino knowing it would ask you for KYC documents before withdrawal?

My opinion: No, because fiat casinos offer much better services, odds, and games so I would never want to do KYC at a crypto casino and if I was going to do it, I would rather play at a fiat casino like bet365. There are countless options of exchanging your Bitcoins to skrill/neteller and deposit to play. I don't think that's a problem for anyone so unless crypto casinos offer better services, I won't play there if KYC is required. On top of everything else, the main reason why crypto was made was to keep ourselves anonymous and if crypto casinos should follow the same path.

If a player cheated the casino by any means, then the casino should just ban the player because asking for KYC is not going to solve the case.


2-  Do you feel safe giving out your KYC to online crypto-casinos?

My opinion: After the documents are sent, they go through a number of people and online casinos keep changing their staff from time to time and in some case, if a staff member knows my address and in case I am a high-roller I would be in some serious trouble because the staff member can track me and even blackmail me to some extent. I am ok with giving my identity to known sites like bet365 or williamhill but I am still not comfortable verifying myself at a lesser-known crypto casino.





To answer your question 1, it actually depends. I think I can give my proof of identity to a trusted, well-known, established, and has good reputation casino enterprise. If that certain casino has been running for long years already and has good feedbacks, then I guess there's no reason for me to worry undergoing their KYC process. However, if a casino is just freshly established and there's no record for me to hold onto, then I will rather not undergo KYC. It's better to be safe than sorry.

For question 2, there's no reason for me to feel unsafe if I am giving away my KYC to a reputable casino. I never risk undergoing KYC if I'm hesitating, so yes, I always feel safe because I know I'm not deciding impulsively and already calculated the risks before giving away my identity to them.
3306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling becomes popular on: May 19, 2021, 01:30:13 PM
Given the pandemic situation that we are currently in, people are thinking and are using alternative ways to adapt from the sudden changes the crisis has caused. The majority are already aware that due to pandemic, safety protocols are already imposed. Limited operations from businesses and leisure activities were mandated by the government. Hence, people opted to do things online.

Online gambling became popular because people have no other choice, but to follow safety measures to secure their health. Leisure errands are prohibited, resulting to increase rate of number of people finding entertainment by gambling online. It was no surprise to find this because especially now that we are confined in the four corners of our home, boredom usually strikes.

I just suggest to still gamble moderately. Bet what you can afford to lose. It's not bad to indulge and enjoy what we want for our mental health's sake, but be a responsible adult and set limitation for yourself.
3307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the motive behind the anti gambling campaign on: May 18, 2021, 02:40:30 PM
Sadly, gambling always sees as a negative thing on the community because of people getting addicted to it, on how they lose their sanity as well as their families. But in my opinion, gambling shouldn't be blame on this, because it is our decision to play or not to play gambling, to risk or not to risk our money, simple as that. The only reason why Government is giving gambling industry a hard time because of those people that are not being responsible to themselves.

If you're playing gambling and lost your money as well as your will on living, please blame yourself because of being too careless to think what lies ahead in your future while playing gambling. Playing gambling doesn't mean you're gonna win every time you'll place a bet, it's like a wheel that sometimes you're on the top, and sometimes you're below.
3308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ohio offering lottery prize worth one million for those that get the COVID shot on: May 18, 2021, 01:29:08 PM
This is a nice way to convince people to get vaccinated. I mean, it's not mandatory because some people are afraid that it has a side effect that may threaten their lives, but Governments are having a hard time to convince them. If the vaccine is really safe, then getting vaccinated and will have a chance to win the price is a win win situation for every citizens in Ohio.

No matter how small the chances of winning, still getting vaccinated for free is a great prize to have to secure your life from getting the virus.
3309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Cricket Match-Fixing Scandal on: May 18, 2021, 12:46:44 PM
Rigging in sports in not new anymore, the only thing you'll get after you paid the ticket is disappointment because the match has been fixed. The main reason behind it is all about money, because they could make a lot more money in match fixing rather than playing a clean match, I mean, who doesn't want easy money, right? Especially in this time of pandemic where we really need money to survive and sustain our daily needs as well as our bills monthly.
3310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: May 18, 2021, 11:42:36 AM
Moreover, most gamblers are seen as addicts, (because the majority of them are) thus, people will question your earnings and point their finger at you if you reveal them that you've lost a X amount of money.

That's a huge one, and I will not agree with that. By saying most, it means that gambling is really bad and should be ban, maybe it depends on the community or country you are living in as we have different cultures and in some religions, gambling itself is a sin, hence should be avoided.

People will only question your earing from gambling if they hate gambling or they don't understand gambling, and since you know what gambling is and you love it, there's no need to explain to them.
People will hate of they find us experiencing loss, and they'll get interested if they find us making profit out of it. So, whether it is a win or loss we need to give a briefing about the consequences when people finger us associating with gambling. All gamblers aren't addict, but the one who isn't able to have control over his funds on loss/win is the true addict. Such person should get out of gambling which is good for them. This includes me. Cheesy Cheesy
I'm not sure, are gamblers who can't control their funds when they win / lose addicts?
Because even beginner gamblers when winning / losing most of them will not be able to control their funds very well, maybe that is a different definition of a gambling addict from you. For me, a gambler who cannot control his funds when winning / losing is those who don't really care about calculations, even though being a gambler must at least realize a calculation in using funds in gambling is the most important thing, at least so you can have a target when to stop and continue the game. That way, with a good calculation you can become a responsible gambler, right?

I disagree.

It is true that if you don't have control to your funds, that only means that you're addicted to it because it doesn't matter anymore if you win or lose as long as you're feeding your desire which is to gamble everyday. Losing or winning will never determine your control over your funds, if you're addicted, you're gonna spend it until it's all gone while if you're not addicted, you are aware and have plan on how much you're going to put every bet.
3311  Economy / Economics / Re: The Reason Bitcoin Investment will be preferred more than Oil on: May 17, 2021, 03:03:34 PM
During this pandemic, I would really rather invest in bitcoin than oil. Bitcoin is widely accessible. With a little money at hand, you can already invest and generate an income if you are knowledgeable and strategic enough on when to buy, sell, and hodl. The information about cryptocurrency are available online. You can also surf the internet for video tutorials that are given free by most vloggers. Bitcoin is more friendly because any people can invest on it, even when you don't have that much. However, I suggest you risk what you afford to lose since after all, bitcoin is volatile. Invest in accordance to your risk appetite.

Meanwhile, oil isn't much used during this pandemic because of travel restrictions all over the world. The oil industry is once of the most affected businesses ever since the pandemic has started to take over. This type of investment isn't calamity-proof unlike cryptocurrency. In addition, one has to have a nice amount of money before they can invest on oil to feel the profit. I will rather not risk it, especially now.
3312  Economy / Economics / Re: China to overtake the Us as the largest global economy by 2028? on: May 17, 2021, 02:14:23 PM
It's not impossible to happen since China's action has been promising during this pandemic. They have showcased proactive solution which made most of the countries left in awe. I actually commend them in handling the covid-19 virus. In a short span of time, the scientists in their country were able to made several vaccines that have high efficacy rate.

However, surely the economy of US will bounce back once majority of its citizens will be vaccinated. Sooner or later, their industry will be fully operational like China's and other neighboring countries. The two will definitely be great competitors of each other during that time as the largest global economy by the year 2028.
3313  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you see yourself quitting after this bullrun? on: May 17, 2021, 01:36:06 PM
I don't see myself quitting after this bullrun. Even after my investment already profited, I don't plan on leaving cryptocurrency community. Foremost, this field gave me so much opportunities. It taught me how to manage my money and to be strategic on where to put your hard-earned funds. I plan to continue investing for long term for my pending goals as well to be ready for my retirement year.

Secondly, considering the range of salary nowadays, it's hard to save money. It'll take a very long time for you to save enough because you're even barely making something for survival during the present time. Unless of course if you have another stream of income, then good for you. You can quit peacefully because you have already secured your portfolio. However, in my case, I don't plan on being enslaved with work that just occupies most of my time without proper compensation of my skills and expertise.

Lastly, I love investing on crypto. I know it's volatility that's why I'm also cautious on how I will manage my investments. It gives me satisfaction whenever I trade. I always weigh the risks before diving into it; may it be spot trading or in futures. Do what suits you. This is just my personal preference. I know that we have different takes on this matter.

3314  Other / Off-topic / Re: Online Game addicts=Worrying parents. on: May 17, 2021, 11:46:24 AM
Honestly, I don't know if this thread is in the right section since it's not about gambling but here's my opinion.

First, the child's parents doesn't raise him well to be like that. Second, if they raised their son well, they would not come to the point where they are having a hard time about their son not listening to them because he got a game addiction. The only thing they have to do is to confiscate his gadgets and have a deep talk about it, that's all.

Parents should not scold their children instantly, hence they need to be more understanding and explain why game addiction is bad to health. Don't shout at your children, talk to him gently for him to understand.
3315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: May 17, 2021, 10:53:02 AM
Not a very good step to be honest because there are cases which were found positive even after vaccination, so they are risking people's lives by taking such step. I would not visit a casino to gamble and would continue playing online as it saves me from the disease and feels better that I am not going to be a 'possible' reason for someone to get corona through me if I am unknowingly positive.

I agree.

Being vaccinated doesn't mean that you're not going to get the virus anymore if you happen to have a close contact with a person that has COVID-19 virus. If I'm not mistaken, having vaccinated will only lessen the chances of you getting the virus and you'll not going to be able to transmit the virus if ever you have a COVID-19 (correct me if I'm wrong).

That's why wearing a mask and always sanitizing your hand is a must rather than being too carefree just being you've been vaccinated.
3316  Economy / Economics / Re: Year 2021-2022 will be very Good and very Bad. on: May 15, 2021, 11:29:07 AM
The Year 2021 to 2022
95% of People will Give their wealth to 5%.
Big market crashes and big losses. Will be.
If you dont Want to be like regular losers dont follow to them but do what They dont do.
Best Thing to Do is to buy usd.
Many People will lose a lot cash for sure. 

But you can choose you either super wealthy or super duper poor.
Middle class will be gone.
If you choose to be in Middle class you are going to be poor 2022 you can either choose Rich Got Everything or poor got nothing.

Dont complain after If you dont Want to educate yourself. 


Can you cite your sources that made you state these things? It's completely absurd and doesn't really make sense wherever angle I view it.

Why would the 95% of people give their wealth to the remaining percentage? What's the reason they would do that? I'm sure that despite the pandemic we are currently facing, people are not yet that stupid. Giving your hard-earned money, properties, or asset, whatever reason it may be will be foolish if done impulsively.

The market is volatile. Sometimes, it's going uphill, and there are also times that it goes the other way around. You just need to have a strong sense of smart guessing as well as laid out strategy to overcome and be minimally affected by market decline.

You are making your own path and you must know and be firm about the goal/destination you are aiming to arrived at. No one can ever dictate whether you'll be on lower, average, or upper bracket of the society, but only you. You are free to say all your frustrations along your journey to relieve your stress, but always be responsible. Don't just rant, but also act on it. Like what the famous saying says, "God has mercy for those who help themselves".

Educate yourself, learn new skills, try new things and apply all your new learnings for the betterment of yourself.
3317  Economy / Economics / Re: What will you do in 2030? on: May 15, 2021, 10:23:09 AM
By 2030, hopefully I'm already financially stable. I will continue to invest in different investment vehicles that will help me secure my future as well as my family's. I don't plan to be complacent so that when my retirement year comes, I'll be able to enjoy all the things that I want with my remaining years, without bothering my children to provide for me.

Investing and playing with crypto will definitely be in my list. But of course, I'll still remind myself to set boundaries and to diversify where to put my hard-earned money. After all, nothing is ever certain, so might as well put your funds in different platforms to avoid future troubles. I will strive till I achieve the life that can make me contented and genuinely happy.
3318  Economy / Economics / Re: The change in buying and selling in society is the effect of the internet on: May 14, 2021, 03:28:29 PM
Internet doesn't make us lazy, it depends on whether we're gonna rely on it totally and end up as a lazy person. Not all of the things we do in life could be done by the internet, internet just helps us in some works especially if it is gonna take more time and you have something to do, like buying a food, asking for some services at home etc.

As we develop our community, we need revolution as well in technology to sustain what we need in our everyday living, if you know what I mean.
3319  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge is to hold should not be trading on: May 14, 2021, 02:38:36 PM
A lot of people are getting deceives by Elon Musk on investing to DOGE for him to make a lot of profits on it. For me, doge coin is just a meme coin, it was practically just a hype coin and investing on it is a double edge sword, if you know what I mean. If you don't know how cryptocurrency works, I suggest stay out of DOGE coin because you might end up crying if the whales sold their doge coin while you guys are sleeping and you'll wake up having your profits and capital at lost.
3320  Economy / Speculation / Re: What make people panic sell? on: May 14, 2021, 01:46:00 PM
The answer on your question is their ignorance. Most of the people who enter the cryptocurrency world in the bullish market are all illiterate when it comes to cryptocurrency, so why did they enter the market? well, it is because of the hype or what we called FOMO, which is not good.

Once the market falls down, which is normal because of cryptocurrency's volatility especially Bitcoin, they would chicken out and do panic selling because they thought the price drop is continuous until they lose all of their profits.
