It seems hockey will be a good sports betting event. Not really fan of Hockey too since Im on asian countries which mostly supported betting event on basketball and maybe soccer. Btw what platform does hockey games can bet online on this which related to crypto and what assets supported mate?
You know what that's a great question m8, i'm not exactly sure. The only crypto gambling I do on hockey is going to be with a buddy off forum who likes to wager bitcoin with me and he happens to be an oilers fan so it just panned out for me in this instance I guess lol. But that still remains to be seen, I will try to find out for you! |

the main difference is the way you see it
one believes that you think about something and then it'll magically reach your life
the other point of view considers that you think about something, your actions point in the direction of it and then you end up getting what you want.
same same, but different
it's like a manifesting? I mean, the more we think of it, the more we achieve or gain it, like if you want to have that thing, you need to think more positive thoughts about it and it will serves as a motivation for us to achieve that thing. so if the things that we keep thinking about are not good, let's stop because we might attract that thing even more and make it come true. Not sure if this is true but many have had such an experience. the thing for me is that if I just think positively and try to manifest things from my room but don't move my ass to do stuff nothing will happen I think being positive helps but it's definitely not enough it's action that moves things in the world. what do you think? Action moves the needle. You can think all you want, but if you never take those thoughts into action they stay exactly that, trapped inside your head! Unfortunately this isn't exactly bringing the desired outcome one would wish to have with gambling, I think the trick is to actually believe that you will win! There was this study done that focusing on an object changes the circumstances of that object, simply because it is being watched! I found it fascinating- I will try to find this study and link it. As this relates to gambling I wonder what studies have been done on gambling and luck? |

It's a question I asked myself this evening while playing a Slot game on a telegram casino.
I asked myself this question, and was puzzled for a while because I was actually confused of what exactly to answer myself, I wasn't sure if money was what I wanted from gambling, or whether I was just playing to have fun, or whether I was gambling for both money and fun.
And honestly, I am still confused, because I've thought of money being what I wanted, then "what is my actual target?, what amount will be enough?" is the next question I asked myself, and I realized I didn't actually have any amount in mind, and this made me conclude that money wasnt really what I wanted, but it's not fun either, cus I cant have fun if I am not winning, like I would always say, " there is no fun in losing money".
So, I thought I should throw this question to the gambling community here, maybe I could draw some ideas from your ideas and contributions.
1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.
2. What steps have you take to see if you can achieve that which you want from gambling?
Or
Are you like me? Gambling with no sense of goal, direction?
Let's have a healthy discussion.
Perhaps it is just that you are bored? If its not for the money and you don't quite have a target and it is to no end then perhaps if you got some new hobbies you would find yourself doing something else other than gambling? Just a thought. Personally I haven't taken many steps towards any gambling goals, its really more of a spontaneous decision and whenever I feel lucky. I can't really put a huge want on what I want from gambling other than to WIN! |

Each time I visit some physical betting shop in my country, I usually observe how some elderly people make use of computers. I live in a country where most people 55 years and above don't have basic computer education. Many of them cannot use the mouse, keyboard, or other parts of the computer. This might be because most of them have not been exposed to computer education.
However, the introduction of online betting has forced most gamblers in my country to learn how to use the computer. It is now common to see some elderly people using the mouse and keyboard effectively. Most of them have never attended any computer education class but learned through observation. Others might have gone through some level of training from family or friends. I am sure many of them wouldn't have learned anything about the computer if not for online gambling. What are your thoughts?
Well I think that its great that the elderly folks have mustered enough incentive to learn how to use a computer just to gamble. Surely since it needed to be learned in order for them to gamble maybe they will also gamble a little slower than most simply because they aren't as fast with a computer as the youth and so maybe that will actually end up helping them? |

The high rate of gamblers who take loan for gambling purposes is quite alarming, and most of them are fathers to kids. Most of them don't end up taking care of their debt before passing. What happens to the funds, when the lender comes for his money? It's quite a tough one for a person who isn't a gambler to inherit a trouble from a gambling dad. Such things also increase the anger of the society on gamblers, because the addicts are, also, good at extending their problem gambling to other close relatives. Could it be talked through in the law court?
Man, isn't that the opposite of leaving an inheritance? Maybe have to call that one an outheritance because they ain't getting squat but have to shell out instead when their dad dies. Especially if he was a POS gambler, its one thing if he was at least present and has a good relationship with their family but if he was a shit dad and a shit gambler then that's quite a double whammy. Whether or not it can be talked through in a court of law I think it just depends on the country and laws, i'm not so sure it would work tho I think most folks are tied to family debt and can't get away with it at least thats how it is in the US. |

It won't be a problem if this hyped match is going to be cancelled due to health concerns of Mike Tyson.
It's more important than this kind of fight since he has proved himself very well during his prime.
As for Jake Paul, this is more of the entertainment that he's giving to his fans and I hope that Mike's welfare will be put into priority.
It's easier for them to just cancel the main event if Myke gets sick for any reason. However, it will be difficult to have another fight that draws the same amount of attention! They will have a lot of work to do to fix it if that happens. Well, Jake knows how to market. He'd probably just find another opponent that will draw close to that attention that this supposedly match had. But then, health of Mike should be the priority after all. So, everyone agrees that it should be cancelled instead of rescheduled. That could certainly happen to be completely canceled, but honestly there is a chance that Tyson will get his ulcer flare under control and then he will be able to train and fight, I would guess they would delay this a few months with updates in between. If anyone hasn't noticed Logan Paul, Jake Paul's brother has offered himself to take Tyson's place. I for one think it would be much more entertaining to see two completely wild brothers fight against eachother. One in Boxing and one in WWE I mean what's the worst that can happen? Just a little brotherly love at the end of the day but it could turn sour! I was seeing all this play out on their social media pages I guess Jake said whoever loses has to change their last name. Mom certainly wouldn't approve of that one lmao. |

Actually I have an elder brother in gambling, he basically works in a private company. Received May salary on June 04/06/2024, he did not come home after receiving salary. Three sons one daughter and his wife live in his house, and he gambled all night and entered the house on the next day 05/06/2024 today morning after losing all the salary money. After entering the house, his wife asked him to go to market, he replied, I don't have money, wife said, you got salary, what did you do with the salary money?
In this way, quarrels between the two gradually arise and when it becomes known in the society, it is gradually known that he has played gambling. And he went somewhere far away from home after the fight till now there is no trace of him and he didn't try to contact him till now. So I shared this with you because of how dangerous gambling is in the eyes of families and society. What could be the biggest reason behind this person giving complete money loss?
Could have been pressure to gamble, maybe they got him drunk and he wasn't in his right mind. Maybe he had tremendous debt that could have had serious consequences in his life. I mean the possibilities are endless without actually knowing for fact. That is surely unfortunate and definitely time for this man to find a different profession. I can't imagine coming home to your family after being gone all day and all night, especially on pay day just to tell them we can't get any foods or basic necessities because I was completely irresponsible and gambled it all away. That type of condition especially if it is publicly known is very shameful to oneself. |

From the title of the topic it's clearly that I'm someone who considers gambling a fun activity but I can't ignore the fact that for some people gambling is quite profitable as well. I'm referring to very lucky ones as that some people because most of the gamblers get inspired after hearing their stories.
I've made some profitable bets especially in sportsbook but I won't consider those much profitable because the bets I have placed were of low value and that's why the earned profit was also low. Most of the profits were with very low odds and that's why I just ignore those profits and enjoy the fun part of gambling.
I must say that I'm not among those lucky ones and haven't yet made huge profits in gambling but I want to know that do we have some of those lucky ones on this forum who have made exponential profits in gambling? If yes then kindly share your gambling story to inspire others.
The best thing you can do is enjoy it, because at the end of the day its just money, unless you bet your whole house and have a serious gambling problem. I would say my best come up was like $500 on one game and that is Jody high roller for me considering that I am not as much of a gambling man and I do gamble very conservatively. So with that in mind I would say that in my own experience it is exponential for me lol |

June 2024 makes it exactly 10 years since 50cent told the public that he was going to accept bitcoin as payment for his new album, "stay with the times". This was in June 2014. According to news reports, he made 700 bitcoins. His bitcoin holding is worth more than $7.5 million. Rapper 50 Cent has said he is accepting bitcoins as payment for his new album to "stay with the times". The In Da Club singer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, is promoting his first album in five years, Animal Ambition: An Untamed Desire to Win. In a Reddit AMA the singer said: "Technology is what's changing the business gotta get with it. I take money no matter if it's coins or dollars." It is thought Jackson is one of the first artists to accept the digital currency. Bitcoin magazine said: "There could not be a better combination of innovation in music and payment. We look forward to seeing which other musicians follow suit." Jackson has been unable to live up to the success of his first album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin's, success.This ultimately led to his departure from Interscope Records and Eminem's Shady/Aftermath. He has since found a new home with Caroline, the independent label at Capitol Music Group. But Jackson has sold more than 30 million albums and has starred in a number of films. Animal Ambition can be bought at shop.50cent.com using BitPay, a payment service which handles bitcoin transactions. One bitcoin is currently worth around £430. What are some lessons to learn from this.- If you want to stay relevant in a rapidly changing industry, DYOR and don't be afraid to accept new technologies.
- Do not restrict yourself to only one payment option when you can offer diverse payment options and then attract a broader audience thereby meeting the preferences of different customers.
- As an artist or business person, take advantage of innovative trends and align yourself and brand with it which can enhance your brand's image as forward-thinking, modern and progressive.
- This is almost similar with the first point but different. One of the strategies to repositioning yourself in the market is to adopt new financial technologies especially after significant career changes.
- If your brand and business is innovative, it can generate media attention and serve as effective marketing tools.
- Bitcoin is gaining global recognition and acceptance worldwide in various sectors indicating its potential future role in mainstream finance.
You can add more lessons you think can be learned from this story. Honestly great quote and way to keep track of this anniversary. I think the same can be said for AI and despite all the criticism using it to help you somehow prop yourself up for future gain. I keep seeing all these AI trading bots and stuff and I’m still trying to figure out The Who what when and where to get this set up so I can get myself out of this fucking rat race man, I’m so fucking over it and I want out. I want my time and my day back, AI could be the way! DYOR is what I have been focusing on finishing to figure this out. If I figure it out I’ll make a post but if someone already has this insight please let me know  |

With all this talk of trying to prevent IA in the forum, how will it be prevented when it is indistinguishable from human writing?  Wow, this is actually pretty hilarious. From human to AI , and AI to AI to make the final output sound more human like lol. Isn’t that a trip. This day and age we live in man. I’m just holding out for the day the humanoid AI robots come and they can make a robot clone of me that can come in and do my job so I can go golfing every day. I predict this shall happen in my lifetime, hopefully I get rich tho and won’t need to lmao |

Article Content: The article from CoinDesk highlights that in 2024, crypto hacks and rug pulls led to losses amounting to $473 million. This data comes from Immunefi, a security service that monitors vulnerabilities in decentralized finance (DeFi) projects.
Source: coindesk.com
Need to quote the actual link dude not just the website it came from. I would argue to say that figure is peanuts compared to what the actual figure is factoring in ransomeware hacks to corporations and individuals. |

Title.
Whales are going to start selling like last cycle.
Don't fall for the trap. Don't sell unless you absolutely have to!
Bitcoin is freedom. Do not sell your freedom. Hodl it until fiat becomes less popular than bitcoin. Give it to your grandkids if you have to. Do not sell your freedom.
EDIT: Made some changes to calm people down. 🧡
Amen! HOLD on for dear life and don’t let go. Bitcoin is going to continue to rise given the track record and the prosperous future being laid down before it with all the new adoption. Don’t only hold but try to gain more, find new ways to accumulate more, be creative! |

With Biden vetoing this crypto bill to allow corporations to be their own custodian & just being anti crypto in general & Trump preaching crypto to remain a priority in the US & also saying he would ensure protecting holders rights to self custody. Trump is literally talking about crypto policy with Elon Musk & saying how he is going to do all these things like grant pardons to high profile crypto bros its just wild. Its kind of fun to watch, also very funny how when I think about it Biden vs. Trump is sort of similar to Fiat vs. Bitcoin. Thoughts?
They are politicians and can change their political approaches when they see a change will help them to gain benefit for their political career. Trump and Biden are the same, their mindset on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can change with time. Trump changed so did Biden. Trump changed a lot recent months than what he thought in 2019. I am not an American neither do I support either of Biden or Trump but we have to rely on what we have seen them say and do and from what I have seen, Trump does what he says he will do. I remember when he said he will build a wall in the Mexican borders, then people thought it was a bad political statement but when he became president, he started it before Biden came and annul that project. Another case was to start the defunding of various international organizations, pulling out of Iran nuclear deal, pulling out from climate change and others. Indeed, some of the things he said he will do when elected as president made people to mock him yet he did them exactly as he said. Some might not be the best line of actions but as long as he said them during his campaigns, he did them. Going by this antecedents, if he say anything about cryptocurrency now, I believe he will do just that. So Trump will be better for Bitcoin than Biden. Great points, President Trump is indeed a man of his word and the only potential leader who seems to have the capability to bring actual positive change despite any negative sentiments that people get from their sheer hatred of the man alone. The aforementioned people are mostly completely delusional & are brainwashed if they still support Biden. It’s idiotic. Trump at least has a track record with Ethereum and NFT projects and I think that has opened up his eyes and ears towards crypto. He has seen over the past 4 years all of the adoption taking place. I for one hope that he succeeds and clinches the election which is honestly a sure thing in a fair fight. |

The ways of earning and living for young people have changed drastically since we moved from the agriculture(field) era to the technological( Internet money) era. Many young people are willing to sit at home waiting for a freelance job rather than going out to work for someone and getting paid little shillings. Research has proven that the rate at which people quit working in traditional industries has increased, perhaps they have found an online skill or a way to offer their services with high flexibility.  Link to complete ChartThe concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce. So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help This is the same exact reason that young people are also more prone to adopt and accept crypto currencies. We are in the digital age. Many young folks will likely be fully paid with Bitcoin by their employers especially the ones just being born by the time they are working jobs the adoption that ensues will have launched all of us along with them into a whole new world as we know it today. Its honestly so wild to even think about this, the world is changing right in front of us in so many verticals on the technology landscape and pretty much every single industry and way of life as we know it. The best is yet to come? |

Do you think that exposure to bitcoin at an young age is a good thing in general ? I feel it should be taught based on individual personality and not to very young guy. This is because all young guys might not be responsible enough to invest and track with patience at young age. However, those who have the required patience can make very high returns on their investment by investing at an young age. So, which side are you in this aspect ? Do you feel that all young guys should be informed and educated about bitcoin ?
I think those who are exposed to bitcoin at a young age have a very great chance to up their IQ as having a general underlying understanding of how Bitcoin works and the principles behind it are quite complex for any young person to comprehend simply because there is so much to learn. Young Bits would be a fun term to call them, but that doesn't account for all the meme coins and other coins they will have exposure to, particularly popular with the highschoolers and college kids of today |

Hey. I have Casascius 0.1 Bitcoin coin.
I purchased it from a large reseller of Casascius long time ago when Bitcoin was worth 1700€.
Its in the original (re-sealable?) plastic. Its not been graded by grading company.
I can load photos to here but before I do that I want to make sure I understand this correctly:
1. It's ok to share photo of the hologram with the partial address / code it has?
2. How to load photos here safely?
3. How to sell here safely? I read about using an escrow but the basic concept of it feels very risky.
Thank you.
Wow based on this description I am excited to see a picture as it sounds like the ideal candidate coin to be graded & get a high grade. Well done for keeping it in its same packaging how you got it all these years, I hope that the coin is in excellent condition in your case to yield top dollar on the sale. Good luck! |

Finally back in hand this morning... The new slabs for the larger Kialara and 1Holdclub 5oz are HUUUUUGGGEEE :O They will also slab the CaribbeanTreasures copper bars. Regular sized slab with MyBits Lion in the middle shown for comparison 2nd picture shows a better size comparison of all the slabs   Wowzers these are some real lookers MJ! That is what I would call an Arsenal of BARS! Loving this! I wonder what the label would look like for buyer funded pieces? Will they accept them and authenticate even if they are note funded as well? Also that silver mybits lion is so sick!!! Congrats to whoever got that high grade, even though it was just shown for comparison. The times piece is definitely quite a showcase piece! That slab looks like it could really stick a wedge in something haha. As for your comment on how the Alpen bars are not fixated properly within the slab, I wonder why they did that? Did the guy whose job that was to put them in just get lazy or something and not want to build a new mold I suspect? It still looks incredible in the slab either way. Just little details like that maybe we could give them some feedback or even question it. Also, on this note I want to give a quick shout out to you MJ for being the best liaison for completely exceptional escrow/grading service turn around & being an anchor in this community. Keep up the great work m8! |
