441  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette on: March 13, 2024, 10:12:40 PM
I was able to watch this video before. The video is old and seems legit, but we cannot know for sure the true story behind this video. Could be for marketing or a real life story. If this is indeed a true to life story, it's crazy to bet all your savings for 1 bet, but then he is very lucky that luck was on his side and won his 1 bet.
You said the man is crazy but supposing he list, you will say that he is stupid. To me the man is stupid. How will someone bet all his live savings on gambling? I hope he will not have this mindset again as he won. What if he list? He may think of killing himself and he might even kill himself. People like to do things greedily and not think of the consequences if it goes the opposite.
Overall,  it is crazy for anyone to risk such a vital aspect as life savings on a bet,  this could ve as a result of heavy addictions on the part of the man,  because I can't possibly believe what he may have thought to have bet 100% of his holding on a bets which result could be against him at any time.

Only addiction could drive a gambler to think in that line of thought because as an addict he is consumed by his urge to bet more since his focus will be on the total amount in winning when that happens,  anyways he was lucky to have won the bet this time and for sure he may not be that lucky next time,  gambling addictions have eaten deep into some people and they can no longer control their limits which is disastrous at a point.

Any ways also this could be another case of extreme greed where by the gamblers become greedy to want to get max.

The cryptocurrency space has nothing to do with the government and only exchanges do,  so I advise you to continue to keep building and never allow all the fake news and blog posts to eat up your time and energy,  just focus on your Bitcoin accumulation and pay less attention to the news.
Thank you wiwo for the motivation. One thing wey I know be say is the recent issues with the Binance and the government nor fit shake our minds. Nobody dey dey discouraged. We dey 19 steps ahead of the government before them think one we the young bitcoin enthusiast did think 19 things.

If they remove Binance, we still get 99 others. We no shake. We dey kampke.
Baba you talk well and I dey happy to see say many of us already have a working plans and have planned ahead on ways to increase our privacy and also stay safe to practice the true freedom and borderless ability that cryptocurrency has given its users even though government have failed to understand the extent of freedom that crypto offers most especially decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Hi,

As everyone knows the goal of betting is to get the largest amount of money , knowing that the risks do not change whether you bet a large or small amount, and sometimes the amount you bet with is your capital, and this drains you of your time and money, and perhaps your work and daily tasks.

Do you think that the benefits in gambling Worth the invest of your money and your time with knowing that your chances are Just 50/50?

Is very wrong to think gambling in the same vain as investment because at a point gambling lack any quality or attributes of investment because you are not buying any commodity,  even the odds that you accumulate via gambling is just a balloon point that can go from 100% to zero and at the same time go from zero to 100%,  this is why gambling is a high risk activities and many have lost more than they ever wins,  and on the other hand,  those fraction few that we're able to win some jackpot in not careful still lose everything back to the house if they continue gambling.

Gambling should be taken as way of having and cashing fun and nothing to it,  because thinking otherwise will only increase your risk level and at some point we tend to love hopes since the house edge is always at play in any gambling games,  which is why,  it is risky to have the believe that you will win over the house in any point in time.

Nice so you made the point here and you have succeeded to promote you referral code in the article but you forget to mentioned what freebies and bonuses await those that register on Bitget and such may not earn you,  your aimed referees.

This is the first time I am hearing about Bitter and for sure from the screenshot you shared,  their rate is not different from others and for that I don't see any reason why I should abandon any exchange that already risks my kyc on to buy into this idea of yours,  since I am not planning to become a merchant over there.
445  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Don't be De-motivated By the current faith in Cryptocurrency in Nigeria on: March 13, 2024, 04:51:03 PM
I thought that this thread is necessary at this point to address a number of things as regards to Fed war against centralized exchanges in Nigeria and what we as forum members should know that will help our motivation level,  and also help us keep track with emerging technologies like Bitcoin and keeping trend on without losing focus.

This may as well be a wake up call for us not to keep our money on centralized exchange but in our wallet with private key seven which we can restore anytime on any wallet apps.

Point is that,  alot have been going on,  and so many fuds and fomos have overwhelmed the cryptocurrency space in Nigeria most times this crisis has burned out our motivations to keep pushing for our goal which is to become one of the world's top cryptocurrency adopters and users,  even though records already have that,  but the action of the various government through the CBN have constantly killed our motivations and drag back developments in that regards.

But here to let you know that giving up is not an option because you will only have yourself to blame if you allow this CBN naira crisis to border you or burn out your motivations.

The cryptocurrency space has nothing to do with the government and only exchanges do,  so I advise you to continue to keep building and never allow all the fake news and blog posts to eat up your time and energy,  just focus on your Bitcoin accumulation and pay less attention to the news.

Sometimes what we think is life-saving may not be so,  because in this case, we failed to understand that the man may still have some support line that may have not been mentioned in this news and that we may not be making the right statement by saying so and this is because at some point we need to build that understanding of the fact that gamblers can be very secretive not to have mentioned everything and for that could be making some attempts that may not go down too well with the rest of the community in terms of making such discussions and contributions.

But since the man was lucky to have won the bet he may now happily walk away with the understanding of the fact that he was lucky and not to try that such of thing again in the future since he can easily lose his bet and walk away with nothing.

But now that he was so lucky,  he may not learn from that risk,  and may even decide to risk more thinking that he will continue to win and since we all know how risky it is to win through spin it may be an invisible dream and he will lose all at the end.

It totally escapes my mind,  to update this thread since Sunday but then we communicate in the group already,  and just for update's sake.

448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You See Losing Your Weekly Payment to The Casino on: March 11, 2024, 05:28:57 PM
I consider losing your casino cash as a harsh reminder. A loss, period. I find it convenient but hollow to consider this loss as casino support. It may comfort us to say that by losing, we're helping the project. Losing is sad. Rationalization cant erase the fact that your money is gone.

I think betting a few times to promote the project is risky. Losses can lead to justifying additional gambling. Casinos profit from your hopes and dreams. Seeing a loss as support might help, but its important to be realistic. Lost is an outcome, not a plan. Feeling sad is fine. That's my view. Be honest and know when to back off.
It was just a way of thinking,  although losing to the casino nay not be a direct supply for the casino,  but and indirection,  for such what I was looking at was the ability to to actually have a feel of what you are promoting,  for example playing out of the weekly earnings may give you the chances to actually test out those casinos yourself and since gambling will always be in favor of the house,  you tend to lose more and win less,  so that is where the losing as support comes from hope you get the point more clearer now?

I know fundamentally as a promoter,  you are not under any obligation to lose or play in the casinos,  but then also you are a promoter have the responsibility to test the products you you selling out to people.
449  Economy / Speculation / Re: New ATH hit. Anyone, ever bought BTC, is now at profit. Welcome to fraternity... on: March 11, 2024, 05:20:26 PM
I'm happy that we have reached this point. It is something worth discussing about. It's definitely not gonna have the same impact as the news from before because I noticed that not a lot of people are getting asked what cryptocurrency is and stuff. It's more of "Oh it reached already ATH?" then proceeds not doing anything, at least this is what happened in my case.
Everyone is extremely happy for Bitcoin performance right now and for that alot of analyses have gone into play since Bitcoin has seen another great all-time high period like this, I guess those that will be at profit are those who are selling right now above the price they both it, but those that continue to hold,  will have a long way to go and will only be at virtual gains since the price of bitcoin can slide down again and they go back to previous position.

But with the current Bitcoin market pressure,  I think we are going to be seeing more and more bBitcoinprices that mark a steady all-time high as we go up until the next half happens since the resistance level has been broken by Bitcoin at this point.
450  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin all time high, is it ETF effects or pre halving cycle on: March 11, 2024, 05:11:13 PM

But if we are honest, going above the previous ATH is not really that impresive, as almost all the forum members expected for this to happen, the surprising thing during this cycle is the speed at which this is happening, since the halving has not taken place yet and a new ATH has been reached already.

It wasn’t surprising because the hype that would drive the whole trend was spotted right from the long term. If you look at the whole of last year it was overall a bullish year which wasn’t the case for other previous year to the bitcoin halving year. The most obvious reason was when the hype was at its peak in the end of 2023 which base on past trends was supposed to be a bearish period but ETF saga pumped the market and it continue until it’s approval this year. Some investors like myself were expecting a heavy correction then especially with the $50k price broken but it was just a day correction. After That I was definitely expecting ATH before halving
Well alot os happening with bitcoin price already after Bitcoin have broken the last bitcoin all time high price,  which is a significant milestone achievement for this season and as a pro bitcoin halven gift for it holders,  Bitcoin have consistently continue to push toward and uptrend market arena until the halving when we may see a real bull run that will take the market and investors by surprise.

This time around,  bitcoin may double it all time high price and at some point even going close to somewhere around $200k before the end of the year 2024.
451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake loses $615k bet on Joshua-Ngannou bout on: March 11, 2024, 05:06:36 PM
only those who used what they can't afford to lose to gamble are the one who makes noise over every little lost just as me.
For example, when a gambler loses an amount he can afford to lose there is no need complaining about it openly because it is something they are used to and have prepared for mentally before it happened.

You are correct before anyone goes into gambling they should be prepared about gambling like the lost and how much they could be able to lose to reduce much worrying whenever the games didn't go as they planned, let say for instance drake has already been used to losing money and as well winning money more often than someone who can't lose huge money and whenever it happens they go out complaining about what they have lost without knowing that while gambling they will only gamble with what they can afford to lose.
I don't know why we are discussing about this things,  because we already know who Drake is and his amount of wealth and how influencing he person have been,  so for such a person,  losing such an amount is not a big deal for him and at that he should be fine,  since many times,  he have won higher amount than what he lost without the news carrying it,  so good luck to him in his next bets because surely there will be more.

But then also I believe that Drake have followed the odds if not how can he bet anything against the great Anthony Joshua who is a title holder in the industry.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Future of Gambling on: March 11, 2024, 04:53:12 PM
Time is transforming and a lot of things are changing and this will change a lot of things in the way and manner in which we gamble,  take for example during the covid19 lot of people discovered things that they never previously discovered and this helped in many significant ways,  so same is the development and advancement in various ways and areas,  many will follow suit and a lot will come along the ways.

As we can see a lot of development and progress have been made in various ways and for that many of us will be glad to see a more expanded gambling scene in the future with new and improved technology that gives gamblers more freedom and expectations to push for the future.
453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About running an online casino vs an offline casino on: March 11, 2024, 04:40:52 PM
I have been thinking about this a lot now and today again, I did the same, it's probably the right time to pour out my mind to my family on this forum, hope in return to get some great answers.

I know that it's not easy to run a casino, hire workers and some professionals and others, my question is. ....

1. Is running offline casinos the same as running an online casino?
Not the same,  offline casino is based on physical structures and really time human activities with physical attention,  and in offline casinos,  you need to have a building structure depending on the capacity you want to operate on,  and also hire physical staffs and operators.

But online casinos don't require that,  all that it takes is software as no need for physical structures,  so both are operated on different mood.
Quote
2. What do online casinos have to lose if they aren't making as much money as they intended?
The lose revenue, also don't think that online casinos don't requires funding to keep it running live online,  it does and most times you even pay more than the physical casinos.

And again cost of games providers and domain is there to take revenue away.
Quote
3. With online casinos, isn't the number of hiring being limited compared to someone who wants to run an offline casino?
Not at all,  it depends on the team mentality and how their chose to spread their limits.
Quote
4. Which one is more easier to manage than the other?
For me none is easier,  because both online and offline casinos requires consistency and alot of works to keep them running.
Quote
And the last question is, which one would you go for if you have the resources?
Don't know yet.
454  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best way to exchange token to eth on: March 11, 2024, 04:27:56 PM

i just googled xyo to eth and it was one of the first links.

Kucoin o Coinbase supports xyo or chsb?
They need KYC to use it?
Yes both Coinbase and Kucoin are centralized exchanges and demand for KYC since it is part of the regulatory compliance for centralized exchanges.

I advise you to go along with what you already have and Simpleswap or any of the popular Dex will and should do what you want at the moment,  so all the best and do extra research before you use them.
455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer betting your own predictions or from prediction site on: March 11, 2024, 04:20:06 PM
There are gamblers who have great instincts and can forecast games that may end up winning the bet. But they are scared that they may lose. They dont trust their own betting predictions so they would rather go to a gambling prediction site to some daily betting tips.

So i want to know as a gambler that you are, do you feel following those betting predictions from those sites would favour us in gambling more than our own predictions? For me i trust my predictions and i have won more when i predict for myself than letting someone predict for me.

When I have a lot of money and I am in a winning run I believe my predictions and I don't care about what other tipping services are saying.However this happens rarely for me to be in a winning run,most of the time I have losing consecutive sessions and sadness get the best out of me.It is exactly in this moment that I love to watch and follow many tipping site services,most of them free as I don't believe in expert predictions with money,I believe no one is smart enough to know the future so they ask for money for their predictions yet I like to see some free tipping sites and maybe as I said follow one or some bets of them,usually only in football.
For me I don't take Tips Stars seriously this is because most of the time we all still arrive at the same thing when it comes to betting is is that,  after selecting your games predictions no matter how smart and skillfully you select them,  at a last point,  you will still depends on luck to measure your outcome,  and that is why most times,  luck becomes the fundamental thing,  and in just a few occasions will a gambler be able to win based on their own skills.

Although there are games you can use skills to win,  such games as in house games but even at that, in-house games have that house edges that limit your winning chances,  so for sure there is nothing like a sure bet,  any bet can either win or lose just as any team can win and lose at the same time.

So when I want to bet I don't take any other third-party game predictions and selections,  all I focus on is how to measure my own risk and take chances.
456  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: March 11, 2024, 03:51:57 PM
Once it comes to learning, the development of technology has advanced for the use of internet for learning, whereby we can easily got the required information needed by us through the use of the internet, all these will facilitate the way we learn and how we develop our own gambling strategies, we can also learn from those around us in building the best experience we want to have with gambling while having fun.
Of the truth,  internet have helped to improve the way human learns and adopt to things more than the circular schools itself,  and for the short period of time that internet has been around, its impact is almost up to 80% in the overall learning speed of the 21st century.

There is no need to mention the various ways and tools that come along with the internet,  and how those tools have helped in various sectors of human civilization and ways of doing things,  we have such as the AI which is a hype of the moment that makes the way we work changes and imimprovesur sufficiency,  this and many more other developments have done same,  another vital factor is online gambling and betting, the internet has brought the casinos closer to us more than before and what we use to have in the past,  now we can bet in private and also receive our rewards without anyone knowing,  this is what we call stressless gambling no need to visit the betting shop or casinos,  you can do that from the comfort of your home all with the help of the internet.
457  Economy / Gambling / Re: Share trusted VPN Friendly crypto casinos on: March 11, 2024, 03:27:20 PM
If we are to even consider the replies on this thread on recommendations for the platforms that accept the use of VPN, I don't think there are suggestions made and if any at all, they are not many, gambling platforms don't usually demand or take in the use of VPN for their website, but Incase we see some that allow for that, maybe they are just new in the business or doesn't have enough resources to employ for the measures that take care on that.
Aside from the regulatory reasons that make casinos to turn down VPN usage, other factors also discourage the use of VPN such as its effect on the loading speed of the site and how VPN also affect some game functionality on the casino, these things contribute to why those casinos never allow VPN in general or why gamblers do not see VPN usage as something attractive.

If not,  most of the casinos are VPN-friendly and do not mind gamblers who have verified accounts using VPN to bypass any restrictions if need be at some point.
458  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: March 11, 2024, 03:05:16 PM
We have seen Bitcoin reach 70k USD and it even reached a point of 71k briefly. We are seeing history being made right here with the new all time high being set once again and it is happening even before halving.
Bitcoin reaches $72350. It is now at $71490

I have high expectations that bitcoin will reach 100k but will it reach 100k without any major decline in price? Does it seem realistic that from 70k, bitcoin will continuously rise up?
Do not expect the price to just be going higher. You can see when it reached all-time-high, it fall to $59100. When it reached $70000, it fall to around $62000. The thing is just hold until it get to $100000 even if there is any decline, the increase will be more.
This is the usual price movement pattern in bitcoin all through history,  when bitcoin reaches it all time high,  it will drop back significantly,  but what make Bitcoin all time high different this time os in the new trend that bitcoin is holding on to,  as in Bitcoin resistant level is so high that when it did the 72k ATH,  it fall back but not down below 70k which Bitcoin recover back quickly which indicates alot of buying pressure,  and also a tendency of continues up trend movement.

Just as a few other members have mentioned,  Bitcoin building up to 100k may not be speedy,  but that is where the price is heading to right now and for that, we may have to acknowledge the fact that,  even though there may be instances where the price may decline down a bit,  but achieving 100k on the long run is what we are close to at the moment and 100k may become the new all-time high.
459  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just hold in patience, nothing can stop the raging bull when it comes on: March 11, 2024, 12:17:26 PM
The best way to stay away from untimely loses is to always be ready to look away from every market manipulations and hold for long terms basis because if you believe so much in bitcoin current market at whatever time, which are just temporary price changes,  and those changes will only make the bitcoin speculation to be exciting most especially for those who understands the DCA approach.

But for long term holders they have gain alot and are still holding since the investment formula since the have a time frame for the investment to materialise,  one needs to lock the bitcoin for a period of time before he takes his profits.
460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: March 11, 2024, 12:02:04 PM

Well in my own opinion I think it depends, reason been that their are some people who has experience in gambling and also familiar with the betting options. their are also some people who doesn't have experience at all talk more of knowing the betting options, they always end up making the wrong selections, reason is because they don't even understand anything in gambling. probably they can just decide to give it a try,this set of people can only win in gamble if luck is on their side.
Yes gambling is a game of luck and skills,  because not all gambling games depends on poor luck to win them,  some games don't come out based on uncertainty which makes them be categorized as luck, that kind of game always results based on the individual contributions in terms of skills and experience of the gambler,  many times games are based on skills and experience and just less luck is needed.

But above all,  life is all about luck and so is gambling even if you think your skills can enhance such an experience,  this is why we have to rely on the two of them to have a better gambling experience at the end of the day.
