What wonderful insights you just put out. I completely agree with your advice.

It's important to have a reliable source of income before starting your trading journey.

Trading can be a very emotional and stressful experience, especially when you're just starting out, and having a steady income can help alleviate some of the pressure and allow you to focus on learning and developing your skills.

Additionally, having a balanced approach to trading can help you avoid making impulsive decisions and allow you to stay focused on your long-term goals.

 Thank you for sharing your valuable insights.

It is important that a person can focus on learning about trading before he starts trading because most people don't do it and just follow the lead of others. While he was still not very savvy about trading, he simply followed what was advised to buy the particular coin that allowed him to make his first loss. This is not recommended for beginners as they will never learn about trading and will only rely on advice from others. And he also has to learn to have good emotional control so he doesn't get panicked buying or selling when the market changes direction.
3622  Economy / Gambling / Re: What sort of Weekly & Monthly Bonuses do Bitcointalk members want? on: April 09, 2023, 08:10:34 PM
The thing with staking big amounts is that the outcome is always huge compared to staking smaller amounts which will give you a smaller reward vis-vassal, same as odds accumulation some casinos offer a boost for you in percentage if you accumulate multiple odds, in one of the local casinos I make sports bets I am always given a boost in my odds when I reach a Certain amount of odds accumulation, just like we have with stake amount as you mentioned.

For small players, they should understand that it will take a long time before reaching a certain tier where they can experience the same benefits as those big players. Small players should not really depend on these loyalty bonuses if they are just casual players obviously.

Those big players staking big amount are spending big money not just for the loyalty bonus but rather they just really want to win and they are gambling enthusiast. It's good to see that there are gambling sites who give rewards for big players losing much and not just on small players.
Small players should forget to try to level up their tier because that will make them forget to limit their betting. And that also doesn't guarantee they'll be able to raise their levels anytime soon as that would require an enormous amount of money to spend on gambling. Big gambling players are used to using big money and are willing to accept defeat, but many small gambling players are not ready to see their defeat. So it's better just to enjoy the gambling game and not pursue a higher tier if you don't have much money to bet.
3623  Economy / Gambling / Re: We NEED Bitcointalk Members Feedback on Casino Challenges! on: April 09, 2023, 07:05:05 PM

Therefore casinos must be able to protect all gamblers from small gamblers to rich gamblers.
That way the casino can have a large and strong community because if it only relies on rich gamblers the casino cannot develop quickly.
There is always a minimum maximum limit in every casino, it's just that the nominal will vary from one casino to another. Regarding tournaments, as I said before, casinos must be able to sort out between small gamblers and rich gamblers because so far every tournament has been held in any form by the casino the winner  always the rich gambler.
Yes, this needs to be done so that crypto casinos have good value in the eyes of society and we as gamblers also feel happy because the money we have spent so far at casinos has been partially used for positive things that benefit the wider community.

This is exactly what casinos online should do for their players here in the crypto space. Casinos should always be balanced with their players on their platform as well of course.

      It's just that the reality is that most casinos are not balanced, because some of them just want to wait for people to deposit money on their platform and don't care about the concern that their gambling players may face. Which always ends up with a complaint that a casino did not allow their gambler client to withdraw what they won and often the account is suddenly blocked or blocked leaving their balances on the casino platform unopposed.
That will only happen in scam casinos, although it can also happen to gamblers who play in trusted casinos but are suspected of cheating to win the game. But indeed, when a casino runs a tournament, only gamblers with a lot of money can participate because they can bet various amounts of bets. Whereas small gamblers would not be able to participate or if they did, there must be a limit that they could not cross. And finally, it's still gamblers who have a lot of money who have the opportunity to win. Actually, that's okay because gamblers who are broke can deposit more money to participate or choose not to enter the tournament. After all, the tournament is provided for all its members regardless of whether they are gamblers with a lot of money or gamblers who don't have much money.

<snip>

When we always make a deposit, we always get a gambling bonus as far as I know, but I'm not sure if it's always or just once.
As far as I know, it varies, which means that it could be both. There are referral bonuses which you will only get a one-time bonus for bringing them in to the casino. On the other hand some casinos do it by giving you bonuses which is based from the lose of your referrals. Furthermore, if I'm correct, there are some that apply both concepts to their referral system.
There is also an additional bonus on the amount of money that has been used by their referrals. That is an additional bonus for people who have succeeded in spreading their referral link and inviting the whales to join using that link. But the calculation of bonuses from each casino will be different because each casino has different funds for each promotion. And this is where you have to be really careful to read the rules regarding affiliate bonuses so you won't feel cheated by the casino.

I had trouble verifying the exchange and had to repeat it a few times before finally verifying my account. But I haven't started verifying my account for gambling because I'm just a small gambler who doesn't dare to take too big risks.

We must realize that the casino we use will ask us to do KYC one day. And I also realize that but I always try to protect myself by not using big money to gamble.
To win $8,000 you don't have to gamble using big amount money, you can just gamble for $0.5 or $1 and if you're really lucky enough you can get $8,000. So it's pointless to say you will protect yourself to win big amount money by just gambling with small amount money.

Now what you will do? of course you will need to submit your KYC and you might get a similar problem like when you had trouble to submit your KYC on the exchange you use.
It's true what you say but many people will think that using big money means they have a chance to win a lot of money, especially if they place big bets. But the fact is not like that because if they place a big bet, their chance of losing that money will get bigger because gambling will only make someone lose a lot of money unless they are really lucky to win a lot of money.


And yes, just by sending KYC, you may be able to withdraw the winnings. But it will come back to the casino because if the casino is a scam casino, they will not be able to get their winnings and even their documents will be vulnerable to abuse.
3626  Economy / Gambling / Re: Researching for Upcoming Game on: April 09, 2023, 03:05:12 PM
It's funny that this is rarely the case. In movies and TV series, yes, this is how it happens, because having such complex schemes makes the story more interesting. In reality everything is much more simple: fraudulent casinos have bad design, bad support and lame advertising. Spotting them is easy unless you are blinded by some unreal promises.
But most people, I mean newbies, often fall for such scams where when they get a lousy offer or advertisement, they get attracted and make their first deposit. At first, everything looked fine but moving forward, those guys sensed something was wrong but couldn't figure out what. People who have been in the gambling game for a long time usually will not fall for such scams unless their greed is aroused by seeing such lame offers or advertisements.
~

What can I say, they should be visiting the Gambling section on this forum more often, and read and learn. I have a feeling that all various issues one can encounter in the world of online gambling have been covered here, and those that haven't will be covered sooner or later. There many gambling related forums, but most the info has no value at all, or even misleading.

Hopefully, they can visit the Gambling section more often to read information related to gambling and learn about many experiences from friends who have shared their experiences. It will be useful to them because at least they can get something out of this forum about playing gambling and the many things they must pay attention to. They have to be wise in choosing the information and what is useful for them to use.
3627  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I think it's time to leave Binance, any alternatives? on: April 09, 2023, 02:10:59 PM
But even so, we can still be lucky because we still have exchanges that are not as strict as I mentioned, although we don't know if those exchanges will change the rules one day. And until that happens, we can still use the exchange to trade and make a profit. But p2p exchanges will also not be free from government supervision and p2p exchanges may also be asked to do KYC verification especially for their members. However, it will not be easy because the members just connect their personal wallets directly to the p2p exchange without verifying.
Correct P2P platforms will not be free from government supervision because you need to access the site, just like Localbitcoins was previously no KYC P2P, but now it's KYC P2P. Connect personal wallet to the P2P platform? it seems you're talking about swap platform which is less decentralized and it's true you can't verify if the site is legitimate or not.

But don't worry, we have Bisq where it's completely decentralized exchange and there's no central point, you can access it even the government shutdown the site because you're using Bisq through their software and you can verify the signature.
Yes, we should use a decentralized platform with a good reputation so nothing will happen to us. Bisq has provided a good opportunity for us to use it, but we also have to be careful and always make sure the link is so that we stay safe.

I just imagine that if crypto gets more and more popular, the government will try to contact the platform to verify and police it. Yes, we as users can only follow regulations from the government and it looks like we will later be limited in using crypto by the government.
3628  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I think it's time to leave Binance, any alternatives? on: April 08, 2023, 10:10:02 PM
Is there any guarantee that the largest exchange can maintain its position as the largest exchange? We've seen what happened in the crypto market before Binance became as big as today. At least they can use the "small exchange" to trade and not have to worry about KYC issues as much as if they were trading on Binance which is probably still being watched by regulators.
Regulators are watching other centralized exchanges too, not only Binance, and as long as you are using centralized exchanges you have to worry about Kyc, because you must submit it, even if some will allow you trade small amounts without it, you can send money in there anytime and they lock it and tell you to submit kyc then. If you are leaving Binance for othe centralized exchanges or vise versa, you are still in the same circle, with all the same risks, there is no 'better' centralized alternative to binance, it is either one trades with decentralized p2p exchanges, or you use Binance with their shady ways of doing things, and move your money out of there immediately after you trade.
But even so, we can still be lucky because we still have exchanges that are not as strict as I mentioned, although we don't know if those exchanges will change the rules one day. And until that happens, we can still use the exchange to trade and make a profit. But p2p exchanges will also not be free from government supervision and p2p exchanges may also be asked to do KYC verification especially for their members.

Probably, this is just another strategy of the casinos so that players will be more tempted to play slots and would be somehow deceived that it’s not anymore a game of pure luck but certainly all about skills too. Beginners might believe on this and manage to play but lose more, but for long time gamblers they will never see slots that will increase your winning chances but still a game of pure luck that will only make you lose if you’re not lucky enough.
Yes, casinos will use a lot of strategies to be able to keep players playing gambling at their casinos. Perhaps, the casino will provide other attractive offers so that players will think this is a good time to continue gambling even though it does not guarantee they can win. And these players will also think that they can use special strategies to help them win, even though playing slot games requires luck. And only the wise gambler who understands this will not be tempted by the many attractive offers from the casinos.
3630  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: April 08, 2023, 08:10:52 PM
It is normal for a online casino to deny user of their KYC verification if the document they provide is out of date or expired, or if the camera you used to take the picture of the documents needed is not bright enough, I have faced such before and I end up using someone else smartphone, my smartphone camera is very blurry. If you can follow the exact requirement from the casino you won't have any issues and this doesn't mean that the online casino is trying to pull a scamming stunt on the user.

Gamblers who are trying hard to avoid KYC verification should always scroll down on the casino website, the KYC Policy is always at the end of the website, many don't notice this until they are suddenly asked for verification.
I had trouble verifying the exchange and had to repeat it a few times before finally verifying my account. But I haven't started verifying my account for gambling because I'm just a small gambler who doesn't dare to take too big risks.

We must realize that the casino we use will ask us to do KYC one day. And I also realize that but I always try to protect myself by not using big money to gamble.
3631  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: one mistake that crypto beginners should be aware of ? on: April 08, 2023, 04:47:47 PM
It would be too much of a risk-taker that a beginner put all his faith in a trading signal but yep it's not like it didn't happen before.

One mistake that I can think of which I have also tried and regret back in the day was trading an altcoin where I should be on BTC/USDT.
Some beginners begin to like one altcoin thinking it will become like BTC so they keep trading on such a pair.
Actually trading altcoins is okay as long as the altcoins are moving well so you can buy low and sell high. I have experienced this before and when the price seemed unable to continue its upward movement and tended to move downward following the bitcoin movement, I decided to exit the market and wait for the next opportunity.

But if there are no altcoins with such good movements, we don't need to try it and choose to return to bitcoin because maybe bitcoin's movements are already good. And if it's not great moves from bitcoin and altcoins, maybe we can get out of the market first and take a break.

Those who are like that are people who want to profit without doing business. Maybe it's the same as people who think that investing or trading in crypto is a get-rich-quick road. lol
Indeed, we should have our own skills regarding this space, only relying on that signal is tantamount to burying dadari's potential within ourselves. Indeed learning will take a long time, but if we are serious then it will pay off with the effort we put in. But what I see now is that most people easily give up with one failure, that's what keeps them from growing and moving forward. They buried their own dreams.
So by having expertise in trading, we can analyze based on our knowledge and develop our abilities to be better. And by having better skills, we will have even greater opportunities to make more profits. And if we haven't been able to profit from trading, we should not despair but keep learning more and understanding trading and remain confident that one day we will be able to make more profits. And we also won't depend on signals from other people because we already have expertise in analyzing the market.
3632  Economy / Gambling / Re: Researching for Upcoming Game on: April 08, 2023, 03:40:58 PM
Yes, moreover there are trusted casinos in this forum, we can see all their information in detail and clearly, so it will give us more confidence when playing and depositing some money.
In addition, it is clear from the casinos on the forums who their representatives are here who can help us in the future when we experience the slightest problem or problem.
From the several reviews that we convey, it can be concluded that using a casino on the forum provides more benefits.
So that's why I don't trust all the good reviews of casinos outside forums because it's impossible for a casino not to get bad reviews at all.
That's why we don't need to look for casinos from outside this forum, as it will only increase our chances of becoming the next target of scams from those scam casinos. By choosing a trusted casino from this forum, we will avoid being scammed and be safe playing gambling at that trusted casino. The reviews given by many members on this forum add to our confidence in choosing the casino because their reviews are very useful for us in choosing the right casino. But whatever it is, if we are new members in a casino, we better be able to take care of ourselves and not exceed the limits we make.

While it may seem unfair I think similarly to you, when I read the reviews in other websites about cryptocurrency casinos many times I encounter information that I know is false, like good reviews for casinos which we know are a scam, and this is so common that I simply gave up on those websites and I use this forum exclusively to determine the legitimacy of a cryptocurrency casino, and if a casino does not have an ANN thread here then I simply do not consider them at all when the time comes to select a new casino in which I may like to gamble.
By never considering a casino that does not have an ANN thread in this forum as a good casino, it is already a good step because we can avoid scam casinos. And even if the casino has an ANN thread on this forum but they are a scam casino, we should avoid them especially since those casinos have already scammed many people and there is no desire to solve those fraud cases. I also never tried casinos that were scam casinos.
3633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do new online casinos struggle? on: April 07, 2023, 10:37:38 PM
Which one do you think is better and has more healthy growth for a new online casino?

Is it better for a new casino to take their time very slow with their project for the time being to be able to raise some money first and only attract users with banners and small advertisements?

Or a new casino project should go all in on doing advertisements starting from their launch date with everything they've got?

Why do new online casinos struggle? A Few I knew are not doing fine and they had to put an end to their advertising campaigns.

Welcome to the forum, It is challenging to say which approach is better for a new online casino, as both strategies have advantages and disadvantages. Many new casinos may not have sufficient resources or expertise to develop a high-quality platform or to market and promote their offering effectively. In some cases, new casinos may struggle to build trust, with users wary of scams or fraud in the online gambling industry.

Each casino owner needs to be aware of and look for strategies they can use. That's why market research is needed to find the right strategy. Perhaps it takes time to find it, but it's worth it because you have to compete with other casinos as a new casino. And if they can't figure out a strategy and just follow what other casinos are doing, then those casinos will have a hard time growing. Perhaps, promoting an offer is something other casinos are used to doing, so a new casino might need to add something a little different. I guess it might be useful for capturing new users.

The only thing that bothers me is .org because as far as I know, it is the domain for organizations. If anyone uses it for anything other than that, there will probably be a warning from the regulators. But let's hope it doesn't happen to you @OP.

The design takes a classic design that doesn't include pictures or anything else like in other casinos. Maybe you can provide more details if your thread is an ANN for your casino and my suggestion is to add more gambling games to catch people's attention. By only having one type of gambling game, it seems difficult to compete with other casinos.

Those who don't have the means to start investing in bitcoin can use other methods such as joining a bounty campaign program and then getting paid in tokens from the project. After that, they can sell their tokens to BNB or even directly to BTC to own their first BNB or BTC.

Only people willing to try will get results while people with many reasons will not develop and will not be able to change their lives for the better. Do not make our limitations as an excuse.
3636  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: is it necessary to mix Bitcoin that you bought from an exchange? on: April 07, 2023, 07:43:46 PM
If you are willing to pay the fee, you can use a bitcoin mixer before depositing it in your wallet. But maybe you can also save the funds in a new wallet specifically for storing funds from the exchange. This will depend on your convenience because some merchants don't use a bitcoin mixer to mix the bitcoins they buy from an exchange and send them directly to another wallet.

But some feel they need to hide their wallet address and use a bitcoin mixer. Maybe it would be safer, according to them. I do not use these methods but directly send it to a new wallet.
3637  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: one mistake that crypto beginners should be aware of ? on: April 07, 2023, 04:48:55 PM
Those who follow and rely on others' signals are those who are lazy to do their own research and study things about trading. We can actually do trading by ourselves but we need eagerness and willingness to learn and adopt kowledge to do it successfully. Relying on others, especially people's predictions and signals will not always work. We must instead learn the basic fundamentals of trading as well as do our analysis of the market.
That's why it is better to learn to trade than to follow other people's signals because we don't know how valid those signals are. By doing research, we learn to analyze our abilities and by learning that, the skills we have will increase and that is very useful for following market movements that are still uncertain. I'm sure we can certainly learn well but that depends on our own desires, do we want to develop our abilities so we don't need signals from other people or will we still use signals from other people but we might find it difficult to get the profit.
Its not bad to make use of other signals or trying to peek on their analysis but of course in wont really be that ideal that you would be relying from it.As a beginner then it would really just that right
that you should really be that going and focusing with the basics.You wouldnt really be able to learn up things quickly or in one day and this would really be taking a long time before you could be
able to do such thing. Be wary with your emotions which is something that would really be distracting you and would boggle up your mind along the way.
Market is volatile and unpredictable and thats why its really just that right that you should really be wary in regarding with your actions.
It's not bad to use other signals, but we still have to analyze it before using it so that we don't experience errors. That is why we are always required to learn more from trading to adjust to market conditions or conditions. If we can adapt to the market, we definitely won't have any problems because, with our skills, we can find a solution even if the market reverses. And indeed we must control our emotions when trading to stay focused on finding opportunities to make profits. And acquiring such abilities requires a lot of practice and learning other subjects.
3638  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I think it's time to leave Binance, any alternatives? on: April 07, 2023, 04:03:21 PM
You could try HotBit or KuCoin, which are less stringent in KYC than Binance. And I see that the two exchanges also have almost the same features as Binance so maybe you just need to get used to it for a while.

But if you want Coinbase to trade, you can choose that too. But whatever you choose, it's a good idea to compare all the exchanges you know to know the advantages and disadvantages of each.
What makes you think that if the largest exchange in the world can be targeted and can be vulnerable to FUDs and allegations, what would save these smaller exchanges from having the same faith in the long run? I think they will target all the cryptocurrency exchanges one by one, as the primary goal of the central authorities is to have no cryptocurrencies at all.

Their motive is to only have CBDCs be functional and used by the citizens and no cryptocurrencies are used by any, and the reason for that is obvious, they want control over the financial activities of their citizens and cannot bear not having that control at all.
Is there any guarantee that the largest exchange can maintain its position as the largest exchange? We've seen what happened in the crypto market before Binance became as big as today. At least they can use the "small exchange" to trade and not have to worry about KYC issues as much as if they were trading on Binance which is probably still being watched by regulators.

Even though regulators want CBDCs to continue to function and be used by citizens, they can at least realize that citizens now have more choices than just using a CBDC. Regulators can still monitor the financial activities of their citizens because there are still many people who will use their fiat.
3639  Economy / Gambling / Re: Researching for Upcoming Game on: April 07, 2023, 02:52:13 PM
My advice is that if you are really afraid of becoming a victim of casino scams outside of forums, it would be better not to use them because in forums there are already many choices of trusted casinos that we can use.
Playing at casinos outside of the forum is the same as we are depositing money to be deceived by them because we don't know whether they can really be trusted or not without more information about several casinos outside the forum, especially some reviews about them also very dubious.
We try to be smart gamblers by leveraging forums as a source of knowledge about the gambling industry.
Yes, you are right. We have found many trusted casinos in this forum, so we don't need to look for them outside the forum. This will reduce the risk of fraud so that we will be calm and safe playing at that trusted casino. The reviews we get outside the forums do not guarantee that they are honest reviews because they will definitely put their affiliate links to get new members. We must be careful with these casinos and avoid gambling at casinos that we think will be scam casinos.
What they say is true, I have found many casinos with very strange names that are not in the forum, and they look very nice, but I do not trust them because they do not have a single Degree of trust, the casinos that are local and that appear on tv if they are trustworthy but they will not use cryptocurrencies, so on that side there are some that have a good Reputation but are not in the forum because they are not cryptocurrencies, but there are other casinos that are not cryptocurrencies, they are cryptocurrencies but they are not in the forum and they don't look reliable at all, there are many, in which they put reviews there are many like that.
We agreed that if the casino weren't on the forum, we wouldn't need to use it for gambling and would stick with the casino we've used for a long time. This is important to avoid fraud that has often happened to people out there, and we don't want to be the target of fraud like them. The new casinos must build their reputation through this forum because we will always support casinos trying to provide the best for their customers. And it depends on how well they can work.
3640  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Not about to give up hope. on: April 07, 2023, 01:52:01 PM

We can give encouragement not to give up on what we have done and we can only accept what they say. But after we can succeed little by little, perhaps we can start telling them what we are doing is starting to show results. Perhaps, we find it hard to stay afloat but believe me, results will not lie to our efforts and we have to keep holding on. Those dark days will surely change and those who have said everything is in vain will see that what we do can bring positive results for us. And that's when we will smile with satisfaction.
Yeah, but one those thing that I learned in crypto is not put all your eggs in one basket. It will be easier to understand but it is kinda hard to follow. Sometimes when we felt that this certain coin or token will give us a fortune or it will pump so hard in the future we will start to put all our investment on it, that's what I do in a p2p game last last year and it leaves me with nothing, I'm afraid to fomo but I end up losing and having a larger loss.
That's what we call the investment spread so that we can profit from the many investments we make. And this requires a more in-depth analysis because we have to look for the right coins to make a profit. And the most important thing is that we shouldn't be provoked by anything, even if it's good news, because we don't know what's behind the good news. By staying calm, we can cope with what will happen in the market and adapt to any situation.
