I join only groups which I have interest on the projects promoted and when I think they are promising. Mostly blockchain games, so I can report bugs, ask questions and hints about the game.

Regards pump and dump groups I don't think they are worthful. You are probably going to be bombarded with tons of useless spam posts all day long. Besides bots accounts which will spot your nickname and send you a lot of useless or scam direct messages.

I believe meaningful informations don't come to you, but you have to go after them. That is, you are better to search for informations and news on google, instead of waiting they come to you through discord groups and DMs.

Nothing will change, except by regulations which might make the whole process more difficult, but it has nothing to do with bitcoin being more or less expensive, anyway. You can access a plethora of exchanges and acquire small amount of btc like 1$, depending the platform. Of course you are going to get only few satoshis with that purchase, once bitcoin skyrockets to superior price levels, but that will still be possible, because exchanges don't want to lose their customers and especially potential adopters who start buying bitcoin in small chunks as experiment.

Safest bets are ethereum and binance coin. Ethereum because it's the most popular chain used by tokens' developers to launch their projects with several years of positive reputation on the market (besides the expensive transactions' fees). Binance coin because it's attached to the biggest crypto exchange of the world, with its own chain as well, inspiring trust among investors, even though some criticize for being a centralized cryptocurrency because it's related to a centralized crypto service (exchange). You can also invest in other altcoins appearing on the top of crypto ranking, but it's riskier in my opinion, as we don't know if they will keep their currently marketcap position in the coming years.

I think so, because it's a game of luck. There can be rare cards inside the boxes, but you never know until opening them. So you have to be lucky in order to purchase the right boxes where the valuable cards will be stored. If you are unlucky you will get boxes with common cards, which may end leading you to losses when comparing the price you paid for the box and the value of the cards inside it.

Like in gambling, if you are lucky enough you can win thousands of dollars opening those boxes. I have heard stories of people who did pretty well doing this and made successful auctions right after with the rare collectibles.

In my country the only official and allowed gambling category is the lottery which pays huge prizes, although it's almost impossible to win. Besides some lottery draws, scratch tickets are also allowed.

Theoreticallyyou have to be at least 18 years old in order to play, but I know underage teenagers who go to the lottery and buy their tickets without any restrictions. Maybe that is due to the informality of our daily life.

Good news is that there isn't a particular legislation for online gambling, so it is still possible to play virtual casinos without any issues with authorities.

The bottom by that date is still unknown, but I believe we shall see it by next year. From the middle or end of 2023 things will start improving again in cryptocurrency. The more we reach close to 2024 and 2025, the more it's likely a new bull run begins, because it's bitcoin halving time and historically it has always been a very positive momentum for btc and its loyal investors.

I suppose the winners of this draw were even more lucky than the winners from previous draws, because it's indeed an unique result we don't see frequently. We can't say it was rigged, though, as the possibility of having that result is possible by the rules of the lottery. Moreover, I believe if the game was to be rigged the result would be something less evident, involving random numbers instead of a pattern.

Anyway, you as a gambler, has always the option to bet on another lotteries if you think this one is looking suspicious to you. There are many alternatives on the internet, especially in crypto universe for gamblers who enjoy lottery draws. So you can definitely go for it next time!

Yes. It's a must to check casino's traffic and how much gamblers are wagering on a daily basis before starting the investment. Some examples of good casinos to invest before, but no longer available were YoloDice and Crypto Games. Those were decently profitable (at least when investing bitcoin, although I'm not so sure about altcoins, because their results used to be much more unstable and inconsistent).

Oh, yes, thanks for mentioning these ones, although I haven't heard positive feedbacks from the profitability point of view about these casinos. If I remember correctly someone who invested in Bitvest had his investment pretty negative (in LTC currency I think), while Bustadice didn't show expressive results too. To make this kind of investment worth I believe the casino has to be very active and popular, otherwise it will be a risky deal, since few gamblers can come in, win a big prize, go away and there won't be many customers/gamblers to cover the loss the casino and investors had. Then you might have your money stuck there for a long time just to recover the same amount your deposited initially.

And as you said, there is also this cashout fee rule which discourages the investment a little more...

Even during the bull market signature campaigns were already scarce, limited and restricted. Maybe recently the competition just got more fierce due to the weak market's conditions, but without any doubts that is a existing problem since a long time ago. Moreover it's a demand and supply issue like in any other niche of jobs' market. Each new day more people get aware about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, being lead to this forum, so they discover signature campaigns and want to join them for extra income, while at same time the supply of new campaigns don't grow on the same proportion, therefore there aren't spots for everyone.

In general, people are facing similar situations on every fields they try to look for a job. That is the proof of disorganized and irresponsible population growth impacting daily life. There are too many people in the world for few jobs' spots. The ones who are able to get those spots are fine, but for the rest there is only misery and pain.

The market is silent because the money is flying to somewhere else outside crypto universe. In every markets money talks and makes all the noise. Without money the market becomes silent and that is exactly what is happening at this moment. In order to revert the scenario crypto has to become attractive to investors again and sometimes there isn't anything we can do about it besides waiting, because it is a matter of perfect timing: that is, another sectors of finances and economy have to fail, so crypto can shine again.

Bearish market is a good season to stake cryptovurrencies for profit, while swaping this profit into bitcoin (since it is cheap) aiming long term gains. This way you will be earning lots of satoshis of bitcoin which will invrease considerably in price once btc rises again towards the next bullish season.

So you don't only hold altcoins expecting they get more value, but use your altcoins to generate btc profit through staking programs.

Central banks can do anything they want, but nothing is going change the fact fiat currencies will colapse at some point, because their system has been unsustainable since the beginning.

CBDCs can be introduced, but they mean nothing different from fiat. In fact it is just a digital crypto version of fiat currencies which will remain centralized and devalued by inflation. I believe the reason central banks are going for CBDC is because it will be easier to track and control citizens' funds. It's an efficient tool against money evasion.

When staking stable coins you must keep in mind your money isn't really growing, because your purchasing power is decreasing due to inflation much more than the APY they are paying you. Let's say you earn 10% yearly on your stable coins through Binance or any other platform, while the prices of the products at the supermarket are increasing much more than 10% on that same time period. In the end it doesn't worth to expect return over your stable coins. Better to invest in bitcoin and main altcoins expecting some nice returns in few years, while also earning interest over them if you wish.

Maybe if that happened we would see bitcoin being more used as currency instead of solely investment and speculative asset for trading. A stable bitcoin could help adoption increasing, because people wouldn't fear it anymore like they fear today due to the volatility. On the other hand, besides the pros, there could be also cons, as bitcoin would lose its profitability potential for new investors, so people looking for profit would have to adopt altcoins instead.

Actually they are a micro payment system which was supposed to receive every few satoshis you claim from faucets instantly, so you could hold all your micro earnings there until gathering a decent amount in order to cashout to any wallet of your wish paying a single fee. However, as faucets don't pay instantly to micro payment wallets anymore and force users to reach insane thresholds inside each faucet, faucetpay has somehow lost its purpose, so they had to be creative in order to remain attractive and that is why I think they introduced offer walls, gambling games and special prizes for biggest wagers.

The only problem is that by holding only bitcoin and by not using banks (centralized) services you are going to be under risk of severe volatility which can push your holdings' value downside for unlimited time period.

Even being your own bank and having your funds under your control the whole time, it still doesn't look efficient if you can lose 50% of that value in a day due to market's fluctuations.

For that reason I believe it would be better to avoid any means of currency, going for properties instead, whichis still the most solid category of investment and reliable method to store value.

It's definitely a smart idea to invest on casinos' stocks, but I don't even know from where to start or if it's possible for me living outside the countries where those casinos are based and living in a country where gambling is forbidden.

That is why crypto casinos bankroll investments were so good for common investors like us. You could benefit from the profit made by casinos, while investing any amounts of money without any difficult or bureaucracy. Just by signing up on crypto casinos you had access to this feature already.

However, now casinos are self-sustainable and don't want borrowed funds from investors anymore.

Theoretically it's legit and paying correctly for years already, but this is the kind of thing we don't have any guarantee because we don't know the winners. They can be legit real users or they can be bots/multi accounts of the platform itself. Personally I prefer to not pursue such goals, because I fear manipulation, leading me to only lose money wagering for nothing in the end. Moreover there is always going to be someone with more ammo (money) than you to spend towards the top positions. It's a risky achievement to try.

And here I'm not talking only about faucetpay exclusively, but about every gambling platforms' rankings spreadsheets as a whole.

That is why examples from parents are important in childrens' lives, because a parent is a mirror for his/her children. All the actions and behaviors a kid observes from his parents at home daily he is going to reproduce later when he grows up, especially if it's an example of success. In this situation, the son saw the father wasting money irresponsibly and without limits for many years, what didn't impact them financially negatively anyway, because they are wealthy. So, when he grew up, he did the same. But if this young had received an example of responsability and austerity from his father, he wouldn't waste 50,000$ like that in a single night of racket.
