This is why we have so many addiction cases in our time now,it is not that easy to stick to that statement that we will only gamble we can afford to lose.

Nobody can follow this by heart, there will be a time when people are tempted to put in more money, gambling is associated with our emotions and sometimes our emotion betrays us, this can happen most of the time to a gambler who loses control but for a response, they do this only from time to time, besides we are only human and not perfect in controlling our emotions.
Gambling is good if done with wisdom and in proper senses. Drinking and gambling has brought so much trouble to people but having said that gambling has also
brought so much profit to the revenue - so there is question what should one do. When a person gambol - he is in double debt when he loses his wealth

Well, it is still pure luck because I do have a friend who bet on lotto with his number. He mistakenly wrote the wrong number, but it turned out he won. I also have a friend that bet a large amount of money on a cockfight but he lost it all. It is better to gamble without any influence of drugs or alcohol because you know after that you will regret it. Yeah, I know it is fun and thrilling when betting while drunk, but if you lose, that will hit you hard when you wake up. So it is better to play and enjoy gambling and after that you can celebrate it.
3582  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Women's participation into cryptospace - Increased? on: May 16, 2022, 04:33:28 PM
With the rise of crypto today, it is not surprising to see more and more women getting involved in crypto.  I think not only women but crypto is also for old people who are less tech savvy.

Women roles can not be overlooked in cryptocurrency, i tend to understand how our amiable women be it mothers or singles to be very careful dealing with an asset, they can handle something with more caution and care, and cryptocurrency would be one of the best option for them to safely secure their financial assets on bitcoin specifically, and for the old age i think they need they help of their children whom they can confined trust in to engage them, and am very sure they would love the idea because their labour is at the end vested on having a good future for their children.
Many women who stays at home now find ways to still earn and get profit. With the internet technology we have now anyone can gain profit if they have the will to try and discipline to do so even they are too busy. Internet helps a lot to learn especially in crypto wherein there are testimonies of many users who gain profit by holding. And family women are known to trying investments to make their money grew especially now that inflation high and banks interest are too low.

Agree I remember before that the internet was not that affordable before and almost all homes right now have access to the internet. That is why the majority of those moms that are only doing chores and babysitting their children want to experience earning money while at home. This is like freelancing, where most of them are moms. In the crypto space, they are also increasing because you know it's easy to invest in it and learn from it because they have time to read. This is great news because you can earn some money at home and also, this could improve their mental health since they get bored easily when they are just at home doing their usual routines.

I didn't know there were so many millionaires in the world. Most of them are wiser with their money than to gamble the capital through it. You often do not become a millionaire by gambling at a casino or other gambling sites. Then you should make a big hit, but in the long run we all play on and the whole capital goes through it.

There are many millionaires in the world but most of them never share their wealth publicly and only some people know about it. These rich people also often gambled and spent a lot of money on many games. We will never know let alone maybe many of them are playing in private casinos which are only allowed to be visited by people who have a lot of money. But we may only be able to see some of those who play big money gambling in one casino and can only see the total amount of money they use.


That's true especially in Bitcoin Land/the cryptocurrency world. There are sometimes whales who play with more than 10 Bitcoins per click in dice in Crypto.Games. That's $210,000 per click if we put the price of Bitcoin to its next possible bear market cycle low. Who would bet $210,000 per click, it's crazy. Is he an owner of one of the biggest Bitcoin mining farms? A HODLer from 2011 or 2012? The wife of a HODLer?


Whoever that is, that person is very rich in bitcoin. Before when bitcoin was still very cheap, it was easy to gamble 1 BTC per click, but now, it's very expensive and those who can gamble that amount are very rich, we don't have to get envy, LOL. Enjoy gambling based on what you can afford to lose only.

Yeah, I remember when bitcoin was still $500, and I see a lot of rollers betting half of it, which I think is incredible and I can't imagine how wealthy they are. But for today, seeing that kind of roll can make you wonder if it's true. If it was a mistake or for another reason, because for its price, the rollers should have a lot of money, or if it is all in to win big profit. Whatever the reason, I am confident that if that roll is won, he/she will be very happy of his/her win.

many countries are facing hardship in their various countries because of what covid-19 virus has caused in the world economy years ago. Some government are trying their possible best to demand for more money to end the suffering and to improve the economy that was collapsed during the pandemic. There was a decreased in crypto market price that is making people to panic because of the low price of bitcoin and altcoins that is not helping people to make a good profit in the market. I think, many people will use this opportunity to hold their coins and prepare well for the price to increase higher before they can sell to make a suitable profit.
This should have been where IMF shines and they failed as well. It caused so much debt and trouble for nations that even getting money from IMF meant that you need to be a nation that would be known to pay it back, plus if you gave it to just one place then everyone else wanted it. Not that they didn't give anyone anything, but it did take a while and that is the problem, it wasn't enough and they should have done more, with all the money they have.

I do not see a recovery from it, we are just going to get used to the new prices, as long as it doesn't get followed by bigger and bigger inflation, then it should be fine. We have increased prices, and we are just going to end up with what we have for now and hope it stays the same.
In our country - we have very strange politicians above us. They hardly care for the country and they are mostly on foreign tours on the taxes money.
We are still struggling for basic needs like electricity, clean water and transportation. I am not sure if my country will be a progressing country in coming years.

This is really the scariest thing. This will lead to the country's bankruptcy. The people of that country really struggle, and the price of food, etc., is really high. I am hoping that this will not lead to your country. In our country, the election just finished on the 9th of May, and I am hoping that the newly elected president will manage the country well the same as the current president, but I am confident he will. Corrupt police and leaders are really the problem within the country. I am hoping that this will be solved sooner rather than later, but I don't know how.
3585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 14, 2022, 02:24:43 PM
Was it only in PH? I was curious if there is an online cockfighting that accepted cryptocurrency, I think restriction of this kind of matches should be worldwide I think most of the rooster are dead after fighting. I mean this is way more bad than horse racing since people let the rooster fight to death.

Afaik, PH is where you can find a lot of cockfighting events the same way you can find a lot of cockpits in every cities and provinces. And NO, I don't know or see platforms that offers crypto betting with cockfighting (atleast here in PH). That's all because there's not enough client on crypto betting with cockfighting in the country. Most crypto users here are either traders, investors in all sort of NFT, or gambling in an online gambling websites.


Maybe the reason why online gambling here or traditional gambling here in Ph it's because crypto is not yet honored in here, many people will be glad if crypto can be used in that kind of gambling but I still don't support cockfighting even though my grandfather used to be addictive to cockfighting when we are still young way back 90's.

I don't think they'll choose crypto over Gcash. in Gcash, they just need to spend a little amount of cash in and cash out, while in crypto, they have to trade it to PHP value before they will be able to cash out in peso. So there's really the convenience, and personally, if there's a sportsbook in PH that does not require a KYC and would accept Gcash, I would prefer using it.

Gcash is the only or the fastest way if withdrawal of your money if you win such game. Cause all you need is the one time passwords (OTP) from your g cash number then  withdrawal in a easy way. While you are using crypto their are many steps to withdraw like asking KYC or and then from crypto convert to fiat  in order  to withdraw which is it's take time  while in Gcash easy and no more hassle .

Gcash Paymaya still needs KYC when withdrawing your money through banks or partner stores. Where as coins Ph still needs KYC if you want to increase your money limit in your account, but you can still withdraw a small amount if you are just a basic user but still you can easily reach the threshold and you will be forced to do a KYC. Most exchanges and wallets now require KYC, and I haven't found any that don't require it, unless you're just using Metamask or another type of wallet.
3586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horse Racing and Gambling on it should be banned on: May 14, 2022, 01:01:45 PM
This is the sad reality in the society we're living in. If the majority is siding with it, they perceive it to be good even though they know deep down that it's not. Perhaps it's conditioned in their mind that as long as they benefit from it, despite the consequences it has for others, it's all good. After all, they are not directly affected, only the animals. And this mindset is really upsetting. It's like humans have lost their empathy just for the sake of having fun and winning money.


Despite it existing so many years now, I do really hope it would be abolished together with other gambling activities and practices that hurts and put the welfare of the animals at risk. The technology and innovation is quickly advancing and we can do so many alternatives for it. Wishing they'll divert to those instead.

Ever since men stepped on this planet he is destroying the natives of this land be it animals on lands or fishes in ocean. There are many species who cease to exists just because human kill them for fun. I dont think there are many who are interested in horse racing but in gambling. Let these animals live there life just like we are living.

At some point in the  near future I hope humans will realise that everything they do has a consequence for their own selves. You pollute the air? Good luck trying to keep breathing. Pollute the water? Your next sushi meal might give you cancer.

There are already people who realize this and have started a campaign, but it is just a small group of people since none of us care about our environment or our world since they are still continuing deforestation and also throwing waste into our bodies of water. I think all people will realize this if something happens like a food shortage and no drinkable water. As of now, most who are knowledgeable about the environment are also scared for the next generation. What will they do if all of the resources are gone? This will continue unless all of us work together to stop climate change; we must unite as one to have an impact on our world so that our children's children can still appreciate the beauty of the earth.
3587  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is the difference between Referral and Affiliate? on: May 14, 2022, 11:32:50 AM
Affiliate is really about partnership with the casino or the website. It is more profitable, I think, because you need to invest in it. You need to withdraw, I think, your money from that casino. It is more like a stake. Where the US referral system is concerned, you are just a member, and one of your tasks or so that you will be able to earn or get something in return is asking other people to sign up or join in the casino under your referral.
I don't think that there is really a need to invest just to become affiliated with a casino. But on the other side, maybe yes but more on investing your time and effort as you work on your network to be a productive affiliate just like working on referrals.

Being affiliated is like having that direct relation to the casino, it's limited to the few people that have given the signal by the casino.

Whilst for referrals, it's for every user.

You are right. I just forget that there are like celebrities that are affiliated with that casino or just connected to it but they haven't invested in it. It is just like they advertise it because they are affiliated with it. It is not all about having money to invest, but it is about giving something to each other and recognizing each other. Referral is easy to discuss.

If you want to do it yourself, it's hard at first, of course you will feel uncomfortable feelings, but that's how you have to go through to become a true trader and investor. maybe at the beginning we will lose some money because of loss, but we can think of it as a school, and it costs money, therefore with the spirit that must be increased it will be able to make us to collect the money we crave
But as much as possible to minimize these losses, learn from the mistakes of others or the experiences of others and apply them to the trading we do. Losses will still happen to get an experience. We can learn a lot in this forum, there is a lot of knowledge about how to invest well and profitably and losses due to investment can be prevented.
Mistakes are your best teacher. Well at least to those that can actually admit their mistakes and learn from 'em. You'll only know how much the risks of cryptocurrency investment after you experience the sweet and bitter journey of it. Every type of investement is not all rainbows and sunshine. Only trust yourself tho, make your own judgement and research. Do not trust the so called experts and so on.


Yeah, I really agree with this because when I was still learning the basics of bitcoin, I did have a mentor on it to which he just guides me on what should be the next step of my learning. Also, he shares his own strategy, but it is not working for me. So after learning the basics, I started to learn strategies on it to know what is most suitable for me. At first, in demo, I was losing a lot, but later on I got my own strategy and decided to try with real money, but still there are mistakes that I have made and I have learnt from it. Experience is also a big factor in it because you can somehow predict it.

In my opinion there is an incredible amount of smart people that hold coins and try to make the bitcoin ecosystem better and better. Those users many times strongly believe that bitcoin is better than fiat money, but not so many of them actually use Bitcoin in everyday payments. It is even a good behavior under bitcoin enthusiasts, to hold Bitcoins and never spend them.
In your opinion, those that use Bitcoin every day as payment are not practicing the good behavior of enthusiasts? I think you're more concerned about profit or the market bullish trend than the beauty of the technology. Besides, if no one uses Bitcoin for payment how would it be considered an innovative payment system and how would business owners know if the best mean of payment for border to border transactions?


Yeah, he's just thinking of profit and not using its beauty. I do agree that we should also use it as a payment system because that is the beauty of it now. It is just an investment, but as you can see, most of the people now talking about bitcoin are about gaining profit from their investment. They are looking at bitcoin as a business that could gain them some money, which is true, but its beauty is not appreciated because we are always talking about money.

This is from the Philippines, I am sure. Well, there are a lot of new stores I have seen here in our place, also in partnership with Coins Ph, but mostly of them are restaurants. I believe you can also pay in a convenience store to purchase foods or products. I am really hoping that a lot of stores will accept this kind of payment method. I have also posted here in the forum about how to live using only bitcoin to purchase things. Most of it is about the coins, ph. Also, I think Paymaya will follow this or Gcash and most of the merchants will accept this.

Extensive knowledge is of course very much needed for freelance work, as we know that currently there are many things that can make money, of course, there are many fields that we must master, the easiest thing right now is to become an online seller by selling products from friends or family. nowadays it is easier to sell products with the presence of an online store.
Having knowledge on cryptocurrency is one of the skill you can use to earn money to feed yourself and family. Many people has used online to sell their products to customers and also buy products from online which is suitable for humanity compare to other businesses that will take you a long years before you can start earning something good. Many business men and women now prefer to market their products through online because online marketing is more profitable compare to stores.


Crypto needs a capital it is not like before that you can earn it because there are airdrops, bounties and only few scammers which is really working but now it is really low chance on earning it without a capital. Most of the people here in forum that joined signature campaigns are really old members so they can earn from it and also their earnings can be invested to other things. Business also needs capital but learning a skill is really needs time and effort which you will be hired by other employer but this takes time and also your patience since this will takes months or years
3594  Economy / Economics / Re: Standard of living on: May 12, 2022, 12:57:15 PM
The standard of living in my country continues to rise, inflation of more than 8% per year makes basic needs continue to skyrocket, now my country relies a lot on imports for living necessities such as oil, wheat, sugar, and so on, a year ago I could save around $150 per month, but now it's difficult to save even if it's only $100.
Your fate is much better than the people around me, you can still eat and you can save, but where we live, it's hard for them to find a bite of rice. , but luckily I can still make money through bounties and can increase my income, and can help people around me, to survive.
Inflation is now a global problem and makes living standards increase,
in this case it is very important to have more than one source of income and one of them can generate from a bounty like you,
hope that economic conditions around the world can return to stability

Yeah, I am hoping to, but I am sure this will take years, hopefully. Also, having a side income is good but still difficult nowadays because of the high unemployment rate. As you know, most people now are finding other sources of income because of the pandemic. It is not easy, but we are glad that we do have signature campaigns from which we can earn. The biggest problem right now is that the prices are high but still our income is the same, so we can't cope with the price and it's really difficult to buy foods or other things. I am also hoping that our salary will increase.
3595  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: An advice for newbies and plebs on: May 12, 2022, 05:22:52 AM
The most important thing for a beginner is definitely the learning process.
You don't need to be a broker to learn demo trading. You can do that on paper as much as you wish before jumping into real time trading. While market is bearish right now, you can buy only to sell in the bull market. The patience to hold for that long is what makes the difference. If a newbie sells during the dump or buys during the rise they will end up in a loss.

This is not difficult to learn, but having a background of speculative trading does give one the edge.
when we get to know cryptocurrency, of course we imagine something fun, I think it's a normal thing, but we also have to be smart in dealing with it, this means we have to understand about crypto before investing. the most important thing to pay attention to is psychological, where we must be able to restrain ourselves with personal analysis to enter or exit the market
This is like saying trading is easy, but when you tackle the basics of trading you will say that it isn't easy because you need some patience to do it. This is the same with crypto in that you will say it is easy to earn from it, but later on it isn't. For all things in terms of investing, you really need knowledge first before jumping into it or having your money invested in it, because without knowledge you will lose your capital.

Not really because I often see people from the lower middle class often playing traditional gambling in the hope that they can win some money.
It is true that lower people class people often playing traditional gambling as they wish they will win but only few percentage people can be winner and even they can be win the lose those latter if they continued. And in maximum case maximum people continue gambling to win more and more but finally they make more loss.

Yes, this is true; I have noticed that those in the poor or lower classes are more likely to win money that is greater than their monthly income.A lot of people I know are big fans of Lotto and "Suertres," which involves guessing a three-number combination and winning big money if you get it right.Most of the people I know bet on this because they can win sometimes, which means they can buy something from it rather than relying on their low salaries.

That's good and nice innovative idea .Although girls prefer jewelry and other items as gifts,But I welcome this step to make everyone aware  about Bitcoin. Next Eid like yours I will give my wife bitcoin as Eidie(Gift)and let her know about it, although I have already told her a lot about Bitcoin and blockchain network.
Yes girls can like jewelries and material things but sometimes we need to put it to them that investment is paramount to this era that we are. Inflation every and the price of good and services are increasing everyday which is the main reason why investment should be considered first that all these materials things that women likes.
Not all girls like jewelry just for the "bling bling" effect. This is a double purpose, as it is also used to collateralize or sell it in the future when the price goes high. Girls nowadays are getting practical because they need to earn money while enjoying things. Also, to OP, it is a good start to give Bitcoin to her and I am sure she will be really interested in it.
3598  Economy / Economics / Re: Where should I invest? on: May 11, 2022, 07:12:52 AM
Although a few days the market is red but this is the best opportunity to buy, crypto will be difficult to guess but usually after a large market correction like this week, the opportunity to skyrocket is very large, maybe the price will drop below $ 30k but I'm sure not long ago Again we immediately return to $ 40K or more.

As most people in the forum say about red days, it's like a sale; it's the best time to buy because it's on sale at its true price. People are scared of buying on red days but on green days they are really eager to buy, which has a high risk that it will drop. I really don't understand why. I bought some altcoins yesterday and held them for a couple of months hoping that I would get a profit, but if not, let's just accept losses as not all the time we earn a profit.
3599  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sign Up Bonuses on: May 10, 2022, 04:55:31 PM
It was when I had less knowledge about deposit bonus and I was attracted to have more balance to play while in fact I did not realize that there are some strings attached in the bonus.
Actually bonuses from offers are not actually awarded as there are challenges to be completed to meet the requirements of receiving bonus offers, one of which may have to complete KYC or other requirements. So it's better to stay focused on the recommended gambling platform because it is already labeled the top gambling platform of the community's choice.
I do agree, but before I do say that they are giving sign up bonuses to start playing their games, which most of the gambling sites have now removed. You'll need to get your rewards after the KYC because some people are exploiting it by making a lot of accounts just to get it. I remember a famous gambling site giving a sign up bonus to play on their new games, on which people were creating a lot of accounts to try their luck on every game, and if they hit the jackpot, they would cash it out because there were no restrictions at all.
3600  Economy / Economics / Re: Get, Save & Invest. on: May 10, 2022, 02:04:28 PM

Invest money- This for me is the last stage in the cycle that creates more money for you to be able to get more money. More money betters ones opportunities.


This is the most important stage in the life of human. You have to think of how to invest the money you have so that in the future you can fall back to it. This stage deserve more careful not to invest wrongly. Many people have failed in this stage because of wrong decision and investment that didn't bring profit.
I think way more people fail on the second step, after all unless you are already rich most people need to work to get some money, but when it comes to saving many people do not know how to do it, and while in theory is simple, as you only need to spend less than what you earn, many people use their money in a very noneffective way which means they do not have any spare money and they cannot save, which is a shame as investing in bitcoin is probably one of the best decisions that a person could take over the long term.

You have a point, but in terms of saving, there are still people that are having difficulty saving because their money or earnings were just enough for their daily needs. Though there are still people saying that no matter how low your income is, you just need to have self-control. This is also true, but you can only save small amounts of money online compared to others that have a big income. It is easy to save
It's almost impossible to save money when the income is only enough to pay for basic needs, especially when there are more people (family members) dependant on that person who wants to save some bucks every month. In this case, I suppose the solution is to raise the income somehow by going for some extra income side works or tasks. The person will probably feel exhausted, although sacrifices are needed on the present moment in order to acquire some confort and life quality futurely. At same time it's a very important alert for young people to constitute their financial life before constituting their family.

Yeah, agree, but as what I have stated, you can still save even if your salary is too low, because saving is not about big money, it is also a small one. You can save at least $1 per day, that's a saving, but again, this is like taking years to save a lot of money since you are saving too little. Having a side job is the solution. If you need to find another job, but you know it is still difficult to find a job, having a side job is another option. Then slowly finding another job that suits you
