4101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My first pizza purchase using Bitcoin in lightning network on: February 26, 2023, 10:34:26 AM
Have you ever bought a pizza using Bitcoin in lightning network? Wink
No, I never buy a pizza or other things using Bitcoin in the lightning network in a local store because it is hard to find the store. Not many people know that bitcoin can be used as an alternative payment system. Lucky you, you can use Bitcoin to buy a pizza, so I guess you will do it again the next day. Anda if the price of bitcoin increases, that is your benefit to pay using small sats to buy something like pizza. If I can buy something using the lightning network in a local store, I will try it, and perhaps, that could explain to them how to use Bitcoin for payment.

No doubt, if those games are also available from the casino house, gamblers will not take that big risk in playing outside. They might consider playing inside the house instead, but there are also some that will continue to play outside as per their own enjoyment.
It's really convenient and safer to play in online casinos. But I think there are still gamblers who prefer to play on the street (because of their job also which I mentioned above) since they find it more entertaining and the experience is different compared to playing alone using your gadget.
The risk is never comparable between playing gambling on the streets or at online casinos because we know how cruel it is on the streets and can even cause fatal accidents to death. Those who still enjoy playing at online casinos feel that they will be even more excited about playing at street casinos because they can hear the screams of people encouraging them to gamble. It's another experience they won't get at an online casino. The thrill can amuse those playing at those street casinos for a long time.
4103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I gave investment advice to my grandfather. on: February 26, 2023, 07:30:14 AM

My question is, how old is your grandfather? Why don't you let your grandfather enjoy his last days? Why invest in old age? Instead of advising my grandfather to invest, I will try to give him a fulfilling life at the end of his life. We invest also to find a comfortable life in old age, so treat your grandfather well. Because when you have a lot of money, you can't take it with you when you die.

Grandfather will be about 70 years old. I love and care for my grandfather very much. Grandfather understandably wants to invest in Bitcoin. The value of 1 rupee today and 1 rupee in the future is very different. This is what we call inflation. Since Bitcoin is a volatile digital cryptocurrency currency. So my grandfather got interested in investing in Bitcoin. I fully explained to my grandfather that Bitcoin has both profit and loss.

I don't know how high inflation is in your country, but I do know that if your grandfather lived for 70 years and wasn't killed by inflation, there's no reason to worry about inflation when he's 70. The person who should be concerned about inflation right now is you, not your grandfather, unless you're thinking of inheriting that money.
He can still invest, but investment doesn't mean too much for a person whose need right now is health, enjoying life with grandchildren and relatives.
Maybe at the beginning, he only gave information about bitcoin. That changed after his grandfather became interested and wanted to learn more about bitcoin so he wanted to invest in bitcoin. It's natural for someone to be curious about something that didn't exist back then, so it will be interesting for him to learn more about bitcoin. Maybe his grandfather wants to invest enough money to make ends meet and those of us who know about bitcoin can teach that grandfather a little.
4104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Doge really go to the moon? on: February 25, 2023, 05:23:38 PM
Those who are waiting for doge to go to the moon they might have to wait for very long period of time or till there is some more influence like of Elon who can pump it back like the previous period.So best wishes to all those who are holding it on the same hope that it will give them sufficient returns but chances are very low.
Yes, and they will be desperate to wait for Dogecoin's price to rise to a new high. Dogecoin has already got its last ATH, but we will not know whether it can touch or return to its ATH price or if we still have to wait a little longer. Maybe Elon will later exert some influence so that the price of Dogecoin can get a pump again. Until that time came, they could only wait an indefinite time. But it seems that many people still hope to see Dogecoin reach its newest ATH again.
4105  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🐞 Dogecoin Will hit $1? on: February 25, 2023, 03:59:39 PM
Dump $doge ? Cool

BTC= $100,000, when Doge =$1
BTC= 1 million, Doge= $10

It is difficult to see Dogecoin reach $1, although it is not impossible. Yes, we need Elon Musk to tweet about Dogecoin for the price to reach $1 Grin

But if Dogecoin does reach $1, I think it's only because of the pumping from a group of people trying to prove that Dogecoin can reach $1. And be careful for those who see the price of Dogecoin starting to increase because it could be a trap. After all, most of them will start buying when the price increases.
4106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it risky to invest in new crypto coins/tokens on: February 25, 2023, 02:58:01 PM
Most novice investors invest their money in new projects they don't know much about because of invitations from other people they see on their social media accounts or other websites. There may be some new coins that can get a nice pump the first time they are released to the exchange, but there are also many new coins that cannot upgrade and even have only a short time on exchange.

And indeed, investing in new coins/tokens is riskier than old coins/tokens because old coins/tokens already have a history from when the coins/tokens were released until now, so they can add to our information when analyzing the coins. But that also doesn't guarantee us a profit because other old coins also have the same chance to increase. And if you want to invest in new coins/tokens, only invest with money you can afford. You must remember that so you don't experience many losses.
There's no doubt that novice investors may be easily swayed by hype or invitations from others, without fully understanding the risks involved. It's certainly possible for new coins to experience significant price increases upon release, there is also a high degree of volatility and uncertainty associated with these projects. Without a track record or history to draw upon, it can be difficult to accurately assess their potential for long-term success.

As you mentioned, investing in established coins or tokens can offer greater visibility into their performance over time, but even this approach is not a foolproof way to guarantee profits. Market conditions and other factors can still have a significant impact on the value of these assets.
At the very least, they can prevent too much risk in investing in new coins that we don't know whether the new coins can provide high price increases and benefits for us. We as beginners, must also be careful in choosing these new coins and not easily follow invitations from others without first researching the project. We've seen that there are lots of new coins that only increase at the start of their launch, and after a few months, their value drops back down, and they end up with no value at all. We must prevent this because we can get stuck buying the coins at high prices.
4107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My $300 bet won $417,000 on: February 25, 2023, 02:06:45 PM
I placed $115,000 on Novak to win the Australian Open which was delayed by few weeks because of COVID. My total withdrawal after Novak won was just under $550,000.

I invested half of it in real estate, paid off my parents mortgage which was $81,000 and kept the rest in high interest term deposits.
You are very lucky to win which I can say that it is very true because even if you are knowledge in that sports but there is still a chance that you will lose. I could say that you have both of it which is luck and knowledge since you said that you are knowledgeable in that sports. You did make the right decision to withdraw all your winnings instead of playing more that may could result in losing all of it just like other people who have done it.
He was very lucky to win a lot of money because he placed bets on the sports he knew. And I agree that that is what we should do in placing sports bets because, with our knowledge, our winning percentage will probably be greater than if we just place random bets. But he was really a person who dared to take risks by placing such a big bet, especially with his knowledge, he finally managed to win a lot of money. He's also fortunate to have put half of his winnings into other businesses that can provide more profit, which means he's thinking about his future.
4108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game that you suffer consistent losses but still keep playing? on: February 25, 2023, 01:04:37 PM
I often play Book of Ra, even though this slot game often makes me almost run out of money playing. But I'm still lucky to be able to restrain myself from blowing up the budget I used to only play in one slot game. And usually, if I lose more than twice, I'll move on to another slot game because, who knows, I might be luckier to get a profit. But even so, we still have to remember that slot games require luck, so we must decide when to stop.
4109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My $300 bet won $417,000 on: February 25, 2023, 11:58:48 AM
That's a story that inspires, many gamblers hoping to get what you have experienced, bet a few but can win a lot on sports betting, being able to see the account balance of our sports betting to be green is really fun and I've seen other members succeed in that too bet tens of mBTC and end up with thousands of mBTC.

This is why I think it is better to stick to sports and not casinos. You should play casinos for fun and sports to make money.

Well, it depends how much you know about Sport... right.  Wink

Yes, Slots are a total waste of time, because the RTP and Volatility make it almost impossible to win against the house.. but some table games with a little bit of knowledge, can be profitable too.

I see you compare investment options like property vs Bitcoin, but you base your opinion on you jumping in close to a all-time-high. I bought bitcoins at $300 and sold some of them at $60 000.... which is pretty good profit, if you can time the buy correctly. (hoarding = zero effort)  Grin

BTC was around 35-40kusd per coin when I won this bet. I was only going to be able to purchase 5 or 6 coins at the most and I didn't think that was a good investment at the time. If it was below $20,000 I may have considered it.
Currently, the price of BTC is already at $22k, and this is a good number you can get if you want to buy bitcoins. But if you want to buy it for under $20k, you still have to keep waiting, as we don't know when BTC will touch that price again. Instead of being left behind in buying BTC later, we better use this time to buy maybe 0.5 BTC first or less so that if the price drops again, we can buy more BTC.

And congratulations to those of you who have managed to win that big win. Hopefully, you manage to win another big win. And maybe you can share your bet so we can also replicate your choice Grin
4110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: February 25, 2023, 08:59:04 AM
Bet big or small, that's different for everyone. Both large and small bets have advantages and disadvantages. But there are also people who are really playing with a lot of money. People who really play for fun, I don't think they even think about a particular strategy. And in the end you have to realize and realize that no strategy is watertight. No strategy gives guarantees of winning chances in the end. It can go well for a long time, even with odds of 1.01 or even 1.001, but sooner or later things go wrong. Then you have spent a lot. Layen of 3-3, many players have also started working and all went under.

Welcome to the Bitcointalk forum.

The lists on your site are numerous and if you can give an honest rating for the casinos you are about to include on your list, it means you can try to convince your readers to join you soon. We are still waiting for your opinion about the casinos in this forum because it is also useful for the casino to improve its services to its members.
4112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: it will definetly save you on: February 25, 2023, 06:13:20 AM
The Op's list is too long, in turn you realize that the emotion and greed of players are the influence of most of the losing stories. When the gambl;er get too emotional or have an excessive desire to win, they can lose focus on the right strategies and tactics, and make bad or impulsive decisions that can cost them in the long run.
After getting a victory or defeat, a person can become very emotional. If they win, their emotions increase. They want another win and vice versa. If they lose, their emotions will also rise, and they will consider using other money to recover from the loss. This is why we must be calm when playing gambling, so it doesn't provoke our emotions to increase. When emotions run high, we can forget to control ourselves, and that's when we can lose self-control and instead will use more money to turn things around.
4113  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance's 98% Dominance: Should We Be Worried? on: February 24, 2023, 04:28:24 PM
there's certainly reason why binance could have such massive dominance that is because they are trusted and transparent enough that they'd get that much customers flocking over their platform.

It's possible they achieved bitcoin volume dominance currently, but not with their percentage which I think is exaggerated after some hesitation that some members pointed out on pages 1-2. To measure the statistical accuracy of a platform, of course, it must involve various sources that have no relationships, interests, or even competing platforms.

Don't assume that a big company like Binance can't do crazy competitive efforts either. Hence, "don't trust, verify".
Right, and it is our job always to determine whether it is right or wrong. But we may also find it difficult to collect valid data from out there because I'm not sure Binance will just give the data to the public or that those who can get data from Binance are valid data. As a large company, Binance can do anything to show that they are an influential exchange and with the power they currently have, Binance can compete with other platforms. But we never know if Binance can sustain its dominance for a long time.
4114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big businesses, corporations also influence the price of cryptocurrency market. on: February 24, 2023, 03:36:01 PM
Maybe it's true that businesses that accept crypto as payment can affect the price of crypto, especially now that many businesses are starting to do it. And business people have also realized that crypto can not only be an investment but can also be used as an alternative payment. But still, in this case, businesses will always look to the government for more information about how the government is doing with crypto. And if the law from the government says that crypto cannot be used as legal tender, businesses can't do anything either. Business people and their businesses can only comply with these regulations because they live in their country and are subject to applicable laws.
4115  Economy / Gambling / Re: Positive Gambling Quotes for 2023! on: February 24, 2023, 02:38:06 PM
For some people gambling have brought good fortune and I've come across some stories in which the person spend his last money left in the pocket into gambling and won something better out of it. With that he was able to invest and turned to be a big businessman. These are very rare stories, whereas you can see a lot of failure stories. This means gambling isn't a thing that needs motivation or positive mind, because we're risking money which could just make our life upside down in no time.
A lot happens to people who gamble. Some have experienced defeat, while others have won. And people who win a lot of money can surely enjoy their winning money. And if he is wise, he will surely use his money to create a business which can give him more profit. But if we still experience defeat, maybe we shouldn't think that gambling is a way to get money, but gambling is entertainment that we can use to have fun. But that pleasure will put us at risk, so we have to control ourselves and not run out of money.
4116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This week, I acquired my first Bitcoin, which is a milestone for me. on: February 24, 2023, 01:28:41 PM
That means, in your country, bitcoin is on the grey side, where people can still hold or trade bitcoin, and that is also the case in several other countries.

You also have a good plan to share your private wallet keys with your wife and other family members. Yes, this is for security only, and you can leave a note about how they can use your bitcoins later. This will help them to understand how bitcoin works in case you can't be there for them, and hopefully, they will be able to use it properly without you.

While you still have time to accumulate more bitcoins, you can use them to buy more bitcoins at this point.
4117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 24, 2023, 12:27:09 PM
People involved in such things will try to cover it from the public and will not let their members divulge it. And if they suspect someone will do or leak it, they will prevent it and might eliminate it forever. This clearly gives risks to those involved but they continue to continue because there is a large money behind all this so they can accept the risks.
Yes, it's true, as you said, anyone will be blind when dealing with very large amounts of money.
They even dare to take risks by manipulating everything and they don't even hesitate to eliminate someone who tries to leak their crimes to the public.
But this will only happen to a group of rich people who have so much money that they can do anything with their money to make even more money.
This action can harm a lot of gamblers, even from small circles to big gamblers.
And sadly, the people involved in that business don't care about the fate of other people because as long as they can take advantage of what they're doing, they will continue to do it, even if it means sacrificing someone's life to protect their business. Such a business must be eradicated and requires courage from the authorities to reveal it so that no one becomes a victim, be it players, the public, or even local officials in the business circle. But this is not easy because the authorities must try hard to find people who can tell the truth about the business and disclose it to the public. If the public finds out, there is a possibility that such businesses will be traced and eradicated.
4118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can Bitcoin afford to buy on: February 24, 2023, 11:27:33 AM
Bitcoins can buy many things, and as long as the store provides bitcoin payments, they can buy anything they want. But that will depend on each shop because many shop owners still don't know bitcoin as a payment alternative besides using fiat or something else. And if there aren't many shops that provide payments using bitcoins, you have to convert your bitcoins to fiat currency first, and then you can shop at any store. And this can help you not to use bitcoin as a payment but as an investment tool for your future.
4119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I have bitcoin, what do you guys recommend I buy as well on: February 24, 2023, 10:33:56 AM
I have a good amount of btc that I'm very pleased with. I love btc. Are there any other coins you guys could recommend I buy next? (none of your comments count as financial advice)
There is no need to buy other coins besides BTC if you don't have any information or don't know how to find other coins you can invest in. Just hold on to BTC and you'll be fine.

If you want to invest in other coins, you have to painstakingly analyze each coin, determine the purchase price you want, and hold it until the price increases. And it's not easy to do, especially if you buy the coins based on suggestions from other people. I can only suggest looking at the list of the top 25 coins and analyzing them one by one to find the coin you want. Don't just listen to other people's advice because it is your money, you have to be responsible with your money.
4120  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Do You Feel Less Safe? on: February 24, 2023, 09:48:04 AM
This is about how you can hide what you have from others and don't tell them. If you can take care of it from other people, I don't think you need to feel insecure because at least you know that your 12 words or your wallet are safe with you. As long as you can do it, I think you will stay with your wallet safe and use it whenever you want. Eliminate that insecurity and follow the basic instructions to secure your wallet from all the bad things that can happen. And if you have done it, try to calm yourself and don't tell others anything about your wallet to others.
