Addicted or not I think when gambling is fun for him then gambling using bitcoin when the price goes up will not be a problem either but indeed, it would be better to use other cryptos because after all when gambling is just for fun then make it not to damage the investment. But, if they have good management by setting limits every day then I'm sure gambling using bitcoin even though the price is high may still be fun for him, everyone has their own way of dealing with this.
I agree with your reply because if we can have fun in gambling, we will not think about the bitcoin price and playing more.
Maybe that is not good for some gamblers, but that is what happens to other gamblers.
We can play gambling, but we must have a limitation, as you say, because no matter if bitcoin will up or down, if we lose, we still lose the bitcoin we use to gamble.
That will happen too if we gamble using altcoin as gambling does not give us a bigger chance to win.
3342  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons to Invest in Bitcoin?? on: June 16, 2021, 09:46:31 AM
People who already knew the benefits of bitcoin do not need any reason to invest in bitcoin because they can get the benefits from bitcoin.
People who are new to bitcoin can feel unsure about investing in bitcoin because of the price volatility, so not many can realize the benefits of bitcoin in the future.
Maybe if they can think about the investment side of bitcoin, they will try to invest in bitcoin from a small amount to figure out how they can make a profit from bitcoin.
Investing in bitcoin can save them from the thief who will steal their money, but they should accept the volatility of bitcoin prices and not worry about that.
3343  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are some long term projects for holding? on: June 16, 2021, 08:46:23 AM
Bitcoin will be the best long-term project for holding and not altcoin because altcoin will always follow bitcoin moves.
I prefer to use altcoin for short-term investment and you can select many altcoins in the market to hold.
The altcoin that you can hold is ethereum, bnb, dot, atom, and many more but you should find the right coin for you as we do not have the same coin to hold.
I do not suggest you hold a new token or coin as there is no history from that project before so that may be difficult to choose the right project.
3344  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Bitcoin a business or an investment? on: June 16, 2021, 07:46:28 AM
Bitcoin can be both a business or an investment because bitcoin is like money, although not many countries accept bitcoin as a payment system.
People can use bitcoin as an investment if bitcoin is not yet used as a payment in their country.
As an investment, people can treat bitcoin as gold in online life to hold bitcoin and only sell if the price reaches their target price.
However, not many people realize that bitcoin for investment as they prefer to trade bitcoin pair usdt or altcoin to earn bitcoin.
So bitcoin will depend on what you want to do with bitcoin.
3345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does implementing a tax on a gambling platform really help a country? on: June 16, 2021, 06:46:39 AM
If we talk about tax, it will be one part of the country that will help the country grow and build facilities.
That is the pros of implementing the tax in all business and gambling as one of the income sources for the country contributing to growing the country's economy.
The cons are taxes sometimes too big than usual because the government needs more income to continue developing.
The percentage of the tax can be 10%-20% but that will depend on the government itself.
The people or gamblers should pay the taxes because they can make sure their country can develop and have more facilities. The result will be back to the people themselves.
3346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should i believe a person who said"my trust wallet get hacked" ? on: June 15, 2021, 09:45:16 AM
Since i joined the crypto world i didnt face any problem regrading wallets but i see that many people lose funds...somtimes the situation is normal like when somone share his private key or back up phrase in a scam website...but lets imagine that somone open a nwe wallet on trust and start using it without even keeping the phrase...is there a way to enter his wallet and make transactions without even having the back up phrase?
If I am not mistaken, you want to ask about Trust Wallet.
That person can still use the wallet and make transactions, but he can not recover his wallet if the wallet is lost because that depends on the phrase to open the wallet.
That is why you should always back up the passphrase to the safe places and only you will know.
Please do not give the phrase to other people you do not know because they can open your wallet and access it, including making a transaction.
3347  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you know when to sell? on: June 15, 2021, 08:42:30 AM
As long as you can see an increase in the price after you bought, you can sell it right away without waiting for the other high price because that will not always happen.
When you do not sell the coin because you believe that the price can increase more than the current price in the next days or weeks, you can still hold your coin and wait for that time.
If you hold the coin while the price already increases, you become greedy and want bigger profit, which is not always happening.
So you should have a target price to sell so you do not feel confused when it is the best to sell.
3348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling! on: June 15, 2021, 07:42:56 AM
To me it's not a big things in gamble. £20,000 is about less than 1 BTC right now. So I think the many big gamblers deposit more than this amount to do gamble.

For why the words if very familiar in gambling that, only do gamble what you actually afford to lose. To protect money from addiction in gamble , people should not deposit big amount. Because the more big amount the more big pressure create when come a big hand lose, And one time bet all in and lose all fund.


Define "Big gamblers" here. I don't think there are many people who go nuts and bet such amounts, it's pure stupidity and those gamblers you are referring to, aren't that dumb to do that. I hope you're not implying that 20 grand isn't a huge sum of money, just because it's less than one BTC.

That guy was a pure fool, he gambled just because he wasn't feeling mentally okay, I understand that, I've been there, but it's just foolish to let your weaknesses into online gambling.
They just forget to control themselves when they are playing gambling, so they still deposit more money and play for more rounds.
They attract to the deep of gambling because gambling tempts them to still playing gambling and always whisper in their ear that the next round can be their chance to win.
So that makes some gamblers deposit more money and continue playing gambling, but then they do not have any chance to win on that game instead of losing all of the money.
It is no surprise to read the other gambler are losing big money because we know the risk of playing gambling and we know that gambling can make us forget when to stop gambling.
3349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin’s time is now on: June 15, 2021, 06:42:41 AM
After the recent bearish and correction in the crypto market. Bitcoin price is slowly gaining again, This day its price reaches 40k+ USD. Hopefully, this continues this month and this could be the effect of El Salvador making bitcoin Legal tender and also from Micro strategy additional BTC investments, more good news to come!
If I am not mistaken, yesterday's highest price was $41k but the price slowly went down and now, the price stays at $40k.
Besides El Salvador, I guess there will be another good news that will release this month or next month and if that really happens, that can help the price increase.
And who knows, the next high price that bitcoin will reach is $45k-$50k, and if that happens, the chance for bitcoin to break the next highest price will coming.
This year is a good year for bitcoin to grow more than the last years as many people and institutions are aware of bitcoin and realize that bitcoin is one of the best investments for them.
3350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To diversify or not to diversify... on: June 13, 2021, 07:43:50 AM
You can still focus on bitcoin, but diversifying will be better to have more investment in crypto.
Ethereum or BNB can be the next investment, but always try to buy at a low price.
If you want to invest $100, maybe you can use the portion 70:30, 70% for bitcoin investment, and 30% for ethereum and bitcoin, but I am sure you will know how much money you will allocate invest in crypto.
The important thing to invest in a crypto is not to panic and have patience because investing in crypto can not always give you profit in the short term.
3351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin’s time is now on: June 13, 2021, 04:29:44 AM
Bitcoin is the leader in cryptocurrencies and people will want to have many bitcoins.
People are making many bitcoins from buying and selling bitcoin and altcoins.
Trading is one way for people to have bitcoin, so if they can make many bitcoins before the price starts, they will make a huge profit in the bull trend.
While the bitcoin price now is not increasing, people will still try to earn more bitcoin.
Besides that, altcoin helps people to make many bitcoins.
3352  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Do y'all know a website that rewards btc or any coin by solving captchas? on: June 12, 2021, 11:24:59 AM
Playing with a faucet nowadays is not worth it at all because the rewards reduce a lot and you can not expect to make a nice income, even if you play on the freebit.co.in.
If you still want to play with the faucet, you can continue to do that and hopefully, you can earn nice rewards.
Do you mining using hardware or playing with cloud mining? Because if you use cloud mining, it will not be recommended because many cloud mining becomes scams for some periods, so you will find it hard to earn good money from cloud mining.
Are you farming with DeFi? Maybe the DeFi era is almost ending, but you can still try it to see if you can make a nice reward.
All in all, you need to be careful because the scamming will always be there.
3353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High discount in presale on: June 12, 2021, 09:32:41 AM
Is 75$ discount in presale of a project way too high? What do you think will happen to such project giving away too high discount for a presale? Will this cos huge dump or you've seen projects that survives after such massive discount
If that is true, maybe that is a big discount for the new project.
I wonder what project gives that discount to their investor because I think many new projects give their discount to their early investor.
There are only two possibilities that will happen to that project: the project can survive in the market or the project will lose its chance to increase but the truth is we do not know.
The new project can get dump so hard after it is released on the market, so if you invest in that project, make sure you can sell your coin/token at the right time to make a profit.
3354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What your 2021 price prediction for shib token? on: June 12, 2021, 07:04:40 AM
I do not expect shib token to increase by $0.01 by the end of 2021, but all will be possible in crypto and the future is a mystery that we do not know.
If you believe shib token can increase and reach that price, you can buy it now while the price is at the very lowest price and hold it for a long time.
If shib token can become like dogecoin in the future, you will make a big profit if you have much shib.
But once again, we do not know for sure and we could only predict and hope that will happen in the future.
3355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ohio offering lottery prize worth one million for those that get the COVID shot on: June 12, 2021, 06:00:31 AM
That is a lot of money the government should pay to them, but that is worth attracting the interest from the people and hopefully, that can make people think, not just for their health but also for their lives.
If they win that much money, they will solve half of their financial problem, and they can get protected from the virus, and for the student, they do not have to think about their expenses.
Maybe the government can add more winner to the lottery, so people can see that their government really cares about them and wants to help them survive this pandemic.

It is a lot of money, but when compared to the money that the government is spending on vaccination (>$1 billion), it doesn't sound like a lot. And nowadays most of the US states are having surplus stocks of the vaccine, because the remaining population is mostly comprised of anti-vaxxers and the authorities have so far failed to convince these people to have the doses. If the lottery encourages at least some of these people to have the vaccine, then I would say that it is money well spent by the state of Ohio.
We hope that those who are not yet vaccinated can realize that vaccination is part of the government programs that want to protect their citizens.
It needs more effort from the government to convince those people so they will want to go to the hospital and get the vaccine.
It seems needs a big campaign from the government and other units to invite those people.
The lottery is one way that the government invites all of their citizens to be vaccinated and if their people do not get the lottery, they still get benefits from the vaccine.
3356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: As a rational real Person I dont see btc success on: June 11, 2021, 07:32:51 AM
I think you become rational because of the negative effect of bitcoin in your daily life? I am very sure  you invest in bitcoin and get bankrupt because of the sudden dump on the price. Remember BTC is very Volatile and it is up to you how can you manage and handle it.
Or he never gets the benefits from bitcoin, so he says that once people can feel the benefits, they will try to earn more bitcoin and not stop before they can reach their goals.
Maybe he got bankrupt when trying to involve deeper in bitcoin and can not recover his money.
If he still trying to recover his money in many ways, I am sure he will see the benefits of bitcoin and maybe he will not say that.
But all in all, we can not blame him if he says bad about bitcoin because they will choose what they want and we can not do anything.
3357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming Scams during Pandemic. How to Stay Safe. on: June 11, 2021, 06:06:55 AM
I observe from the television and local newspaper that people tend to go to the public area when the long weekend comes, which is very crowd and some do not follow the health protocol.
I do not know what people think when they are in the public area or out there about the virus because I think they do not think seriously about the virus and that proves by disobeying wearing the mask, washing their hand, and using social media distancing between them.
It is really sad to see that they do not imagine how if they get infected by the virus, but I really hope they can protect themselves and stay healthy.
We do not have to follow what they did because it is for our health and the people around us, so we really need to care about that.
3358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ohio offering lottery prize worth one million for those that get the COVID shot on: June 11, 2021, 05:06:40 AM
He said he got a lot of bills to pay, so, probably, he'll go that way.

What happened with the won money being intended for scholarships? Have they changed that rule? I liked it a lot because it's mostly youth who needs to be incentivized for the vaccination, and it's the youth who needs money for education.

There are two batches of prizes in this lottery - the first one is a cash prize of $1 million for five winners, and the second batch comprises of college scholarship of $1 million for five students. The Amazon delivery guy won the cash prize, and as per my understanding he may receive around $630,000 in hand after the income tax is deducted. Yesterday's winner was Mark Cline (who won the cash prize) and Sara Afaneh (4-year college scholarship). And this week's drawing saw a total of 3.4 million entries (more than one-fourth of the population of Ohio).
That is a lot of money the government should pay to them, but that is worth attracting the interest from the people and hopefully, that can make people think, not just for their health but also for their lives.
If they win that much money, they will solve half of their financial problem, and they can get protected from the virus, and for the student, they do not have to think about their expenses.
Maybe the government can add more winner to the lottery, so people can see that their government really cares about them and wants to help them survive this pandemic.
3359  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to 13k. FORECAST on: June 10, 2021, 04:36:51 PM
Many people will be happy to see the bitcoin price down to $13k, but many people will panic when the price starts to jump down because they will not ready to see that moment.
Hopefully, the price will not go down below $30k and stay at that price, but if the price really drops to that price, I hope that is just a flash dump so the price will start to increase.
From this moment, there will be many speculations about bitcoin price and if you are not analyzing, you can get the wrong direction and maybe you will make a mistake in analysis.
I can only suggest being careful in the analysis since this moment is really unpredictable.
3360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: June 10, 2021, 03:36:14 PM
Gambling could only give you two kinds of result a happiness because you win or a sadness because you lose and lost all what you have.
There is a third type of feeling, the type that your just indirect. No after what the outcome of your bet might have been, you just seize to worry over anything. Thats the feeling you get when you play with what your ready to loose or isn't significant to you. A feeling that is most common to gamblers that sees the win as a thing of luck, the prediction as aware test of how far they could go or how knowledgeable they are on the games they bet on and those that see gambling as just another fun thing to do and if lucky could make a few bucks out of it. Thats the third and most exciting feeling in gambling for me. It makes you not to be too ambitious of the game and you apparently expect nothing but can only hope.

There are more feelings you could play while playing gambling actually, and the worst of them all is feeling empty, even if you win or lose, you just feel that not contented feeling that wrap around your whole system, and it's pretty depressing. The other one is that unsolicited greed because of excitement, which ruin everything, profits became stones, and luck became curse, and you ended up having nothing because you lost all of it.
The biggest feelings can be sadness and regret if we lose the money, and the other feelings are happy because we feel that we are the luckiest person who can win the gambling games.
And if you can become a responsible gambler, you will not feel too sad or too happy because you know that gambling will give you two result, win or lose.
You will not act too much because you know the risk and the consequences of playing gambling.
You can manage your feelings and not thinking much about them.
