Both starting a business and becoming an entrepreneur involve risks and require bravery.  However, entrepreneurs tend to take more risks developing unproven ideas while business owners work in established markets with some track record of success.   

Business owners focus first on making money by selling products or services to customers.  Entrepreneurs prioritize creative problem-solving and innovation over profits.

Should you put your money into a startup company? Well, it depends on your appetite for risk and your faith in your talents to recognize a good idea when you see one. 
362  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe visiting a seer or spiritual house could make you win a game? on: January 31, 2024, 07:48:09 PM
So I was wondering if there is any connectivity here, or do you believe such could happen in your own situation? Can you do such a thing to win? Have you had the experience of going to such places to seek predictions on how the outcome or results of games could be if they worked in your favor or not? Have you had anyone say or tell you such before and how their experience was?

Well, I haven't heard tell of any fortune tellers or prophets around these parts in quite some time.  Wink

Where I'm from, no one puts stock in prophets or fortune tellers anymore.  Folks gave up on those kinds of money-grubbing scams years ago.  These days, you'd have to be pretty gullible to let some huckster convince you they can see the future or something.  People nowadays are too skeptical for those nonsense claims from supposed psychics and mediums and whatnot.

Sadly, I don't have much hopeful advice regarding Vave casino.  From what I've gathered after some research, there are credible concerns about potential shady practices by this gambling establishment.  Several disappointed customers have lodged complaints about difficulties receiving payouts or other issues when playing at Vave.  An industry review site that rates the safety and trustworthiness of casinos gave Vave an extremely low 2.3 out of 10 score.  That's the level of garbage and  for now, it seems wisest to steer clear of this casino until they can demonstrate tangible improvements in addressing these problems and providing fair transparent service to their patrons.  Though I wish I had better news to share, caution appears warranted here.

364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: VPN - Differences between countries where gambling is legal and not on: January 31, 2024, 04:37:20 PM
Using a VPN is mostly about keeping your online stuff private.  That goes for anything you do on the internet, not just betting or gambling.  Even if gambling's totally legal where you live, you still got a right to privacy and  you probably don't want nosy people peeking in on what you're doing - whether its your folks, your boss, your internet company, the government...  A VPN keeps all those folks from snooping through your online data and stuff you're looking at.  It's about protecting your privacy, basically.
365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hey Gamblers, Here's Some Questions for you. Would Love your Responses on them on: January 27, 2024, 10:31:18 PM
1. What's the most effective method for discovering a new online casino when you're seeking a change from your usual options?

Yes, Exploring the Bitcointalk or some other gambling-related forum is mostly the way I discover new online casinos.

2. How would you describe your overall satisfaction with any of the mentioned options?

Neutral
 
3. Would you recommend a beginner to follow a similar approach based on your personal experiences?

Yes. I'd definitely suggest new players try asking around on Bitcointalk first.  Much better than trustin some random casino review.  Those might just be ads in disguise!

4. In your opinion, should online casinos adopt corporate social responsibility practices? If yes, what specific initiatives would you like to see them undertake? If no, what is your reasoning behind it?

I wish online casinos would adopt more corporate social responsibility, but I'm skeptical it'll become mainstream.  Gambling's largely unregulated, prioritizing profits over ethical concerns.  Without external motivation, casinos lack incentive supporting CSR initiatives.

For me, this feature is actually very helpful in protecting our important data so that it cannot be accessed by the inventor of our smartphone.

Yes, I think we can all agree that this feature is quite useful in cases where your smartphone is lost or stolen.  However, I'm not sure what it has to do with the inventor of our smartphone - or the manufacturer, I'm assuming you mean.
367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the definition of a Gambler? Do you consider yourself as a Gambler? on: January 27, 2024, 06:40:49 PM
I don't see any problem when I play and I also wouldn't be upset if they called me a gamer. I don't see it as being offensive,
<...>

A "gamer" and a "gambler" are two different things.

Gamers like playing games for the fun and challenge, whether it's a video game, a board game, a card game or whatever.  They might play online against others or just for themselves, but they ain't risking cash.  Though, someone gambling is taking a chance at games like roulette and poker where winning or losing money is part of the action.
368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: January 27, 2024, 05:18:08 PM
Yes. Gambling addiction can for sure spark domestic violence, just like any other addictions.  The anxiety, stress, and money struggles that come with betting addictions can make relationships way more tense.  This can cause gambling addicts to take stuff out on their partner screaming or getting physical.  

Gambling problems also mess with finances, which strains things at home.  Money fights and stress are common, and those Arguments over cash definitely make violence more likely too.
369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is addiction bad only when it is a problem? on: January 27, 2024, 04:32:09 PM
Addiction's a tricky thing with no simple fixes.  But I'd say there ain't a healthy addiction out there - it always causes issues.  Even if someones got money to blow gambling and keeps their losses in check, that don't mean their habit isn't messing them up.  An addiction can still screw with your head and emotions, even if you can afford it and it don't interfere with your daily life.   

Sure, some folk can throw cash away no problem and it dont affect their ability to function.  but feeding an addiction still takes a toll on your mental wellbeing whether you see it or not. and  There might not be obvious consequences but subtly it eats away at you.  So I'd say any addiction is bad news, regardless if you got the means to support it.  It'll always find ways to negatively impact your life.

……. then that might be remembered by your first customers. What matters as you start is you build your reputation and trust slowly but surely, it's going to take you a long time but if you can endure that, all depends on how you handle everything. Are you going to do it on your own as you start?

This may take some time and require your support. First of all, we must have a domain name, such as stareatme.com. Do you think this domain name is okay? Then there may be some early users who will be playing the game while it is being developed.

I'd actually argue that picking a cool domain should be the final move.  Really, you first gotta build a awesome game people wanna play.  When your game's locked down and poppin', thats when you can start thinking about marketing and branding. 

Branding and marketing matter, no doubt.  but you don't want to waste money pushing vaporware.
371  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: January 27, 2024, 03:14:23 PM
Good points.  When deciding who to put money on, you gotta think about stuff like where the teams place in the standings, if they're playing well lately, and how they've matched up in the past.  That stuff can help clue you in.  But even if you study all that aint no guarantees in betting.  Just ways to get some edge on making smart picks. 

I'd also say to stay on top of news and who's hurt or sitting out and  things change fast and you don't want to bet hard-earned dough without knowing all the latest.  Do the homework before laying the cash down.  Still comes down to some luck though.  Anyone claiming they got a lock is full of it.  Just about increasing your odds, but the ball bounces funny sometimes.
372  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🐺 wild.io 🎰 Wheel of Fortune 🎁 Daily Rewards 🔥 10 Minutes Cashouts on: January 27, 2024, 02:58:46 PM
You are correct. It's been 10 days since the Wild representative addressed this matter. Maybe they provided "miastej2023" with some updates, but he hasn't shared any information. As a result, we are left in the dark about the current status of the situation.
Wild.io representative is keeping us in the dark, there are 4 complaints on Casino Guru which has been marked as unresolved for the bonus scam of Wild.io casino team. Unfortunately, the complaint of 'miastej2023' has been marked as unresolved too (check here), it means the user hasn't received his account balance. Casino Guru has marked Wild.io behaviour as "Against fair gambling". I think it is better to avoid this casino until they solve these issues properly.



Yeah, wild.io casino just keeps getting shadier.  After this latest scam with their bonuses, their safety rating on Casino Guru dropped even lower to a pathetic 2.5 out of 10.  I mean, yikes! Practically begging you to kiss your money goodbye if you play there.

If I search on google for "the best crypto casino" I get the following results:
<...>
But are these actually the best crypto casinos?

A bunch of those casino sites at the top of the search results seem kinda sketchy.  They ain't the most trustworthy sources and  these sites try real hard to rank high on Google and stuff just so they can make bank from referrals, not 'cause their recommendations are actually legit.  If you wanna find a solid crypto casino to play at, you gotta put in the research yourself.  Can't just trust those random top 10 lists.  Those dudes care more about profits than actually helping folks out.
374  Economy / Exchanges / Re: KYC Free Exchange from Altcoin to Bitcoin? on: January 27, 2024, 01:46:21 PM
exch.cx is one of them. Not so many coins are supported though. A few more options can be found here: https://kycnot.me/
This exchange you listed here does not look like a trusted exchange. The interface looks like children online games.

I don't understand your concern over eXch exchange's trustworthiness only because of its simpler interface compared to other platforms. The two are not necessarily related.

While its look and feel differs from more well-known exchanges, that alone does not equate to questionable practices or intent.  Moreover, having been active in these forums since 2014, eXch seems to have built a solid reputation over time in this community. 
375  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why it's wrong to save vital information on your phone. on: January 26, 2024, 07:58:21 PM
There is an application on GooglePlay that allows you to track your phone's whereabouts in case it was stolen or lost and you have the option to destroy all the data in that phone so the holder will not use all the information of your stolen phone, this is just in case you put some of the valuable information like your private keys, the phone is never a good place to store your password private keys or whatever, unless your phone is in your vault and you only use to retrieve important information.


Yes. Mobile apps for tracking or remote wiping sound helpful if your phone gets nabbed, but I don't think they're enough to shield sensitive stuff like private keys from prying eyes.  Hackers have all kinds of tricks to scan a phone's memory without even connecting to the internet. I think the best way to protect your private data on your phone is to use a strong password and encrypt everything.
376  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: One more question regarding collisions on: January 26, 2024, 06:28:47 PM
<...> seems that there is no way in such a scenario to detect the collision, right?

Seems to me it should be pretty straightforward to catch this happening.  Basically, if there's transaction activity on a wallet you just created - one that should have no history - something is wrong.  Odds are astronomically low it's a legit collision in the key space.  More likely explanations are a faulty rng when originally generating the key, or someone getting unauthorized access to it through nefarious means.
377  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy BTC NOW? on: January 26, 2024, 05:17:30 PM
Yeah, dollar cost averaging into Bitcoin is usually solid advice.  It's a pretty safe plan, even with how up and down Bitcoin can be.  I mean sure, all the scary stories and bad press might make the price tank for a little bit.  but that stuff blows over before long. and  Actually when everyone's freaking out can be a prime time to scoop up some deals! Though I'd tell you, quit letting articles and peoples opinions mess with your head so much.  They can really steer traders the wrong way more often than not.
378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To any Bitcoin holder who lost their seed: How did you lose it? on: January 26, 2024, 03:33:36 PM
I haven't been unlucky enough for that misfortune yet, but I've heard the horror stories.  Folks tend to make a couple big mistakes.  For one thing, it's way too easy to tuck that piece of paper away somewhere safe and then just straight up forget where you put it.  Outta sight, outta mind ya know? Especially if you dont use that wallet too often.  Such a silly thing to do and  that's why they say to make a bunch copies to store other places - give one to your family member, maybe get a safe deposit box, or even engrave it on metal if you're super paranoid. 

Here's another dumb mistake: saving your seed phrase on a computer or your phone or something.  I know it seems convenient and all, but thats asking for trouble if you get hacked.  Then some thief could swoop in and yoink all your funds just like that! No bueno.  Gotta go old school with paper copies all over the place.

 project has been announced and even announced by the Binance Twitter account

Can you prove this? Can you please show us that tweet.

Most likely we are talking about this message on Binance Square https://www.binance.com/en/feed/post/2024-01-25-meson-network-completes-strategic-financing-round-led-by-presto-labs-and-announces-token-sale-on-coinlist-3204330667073. It is well known that any crypto news is published there without assessing its veracity/usefulness for the community. But projects use such news to create hype around themselves. Just remember the Venom Foundation with their billion dollar fund. As for Meson Network itself, I can simply say - “one of many.”

Precisely. Contrary to his claims, that is not a Binance Twitter account, and anyone can publish content on that blog.
Even Binance itself explicitly states that this is not in any way an endorsement of the project on their behalf and that it is not investment advice.
