I would be thinking twice about this, but if he guarantees that it is perfectly all right to gamble that money win or lose and he won't even blame me for my losses, then I'd be happy to play slots with it with high multiplier jackpots, among other games of course. There is also baccarat, poker, dice, and blackjack which I would also like to play. I would also be betting on some sports matches.

But more than this, I would also be definitely telling him that his 10k is more likely going to 0 than 65k, just so he's aware of what gambling is really all about.
Yes, whether it is small amount being spent or big amount we don't have any guarantee of winning. It is better to prepare his mind for the worst and feel happy if things happen good. On such condition I'll go with sports betting, because the bets placed will let me win or loss and in between I'll get the opportunity to cashout and limit the loss.

Making the entry at the right time lets the user make the best out of the investment at the shortest. Whether to go with bitcoin or with altcoins is upto the user's personal  experience. Both bitcoin and altcoin have good track record and it is one's own choice. Even in the investment it is kind of gambling, because based on the market will be profitability out of the Bitcoin/altcoin investment.
463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has anyone ever lost bitcoins before? on: December 25, 2022, 07:57:32 PM
Losing bitcoin could've happened with every user atleast once.  Most of the time this happens through scammers. When we're new to the market we easily fall to the scammers as we don't know much about the market as well as the risks. In this way I've lost bitcoin on untrusted trading platform as well as on using a wallet that scammed the funds and ran away.
464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Today is the story of my investment in Bitcoin on: December 25, 2022, 10:18:10 AM
If you have a stable income, I will definitely support you, because in those 2 years you can also pay off your debt with your salary. But if you just rely on bitcoin profits to pay off debt and interest to the bank then I think I would object.
We all believe that bitcoin will rise again, but there is no certainty it will rise again, and even more uncertain in the next 2 years it will increase, all just stop at predictions.
It all happened, and I hope you are ok with your choice, but I don't expect you to spread this story to make people do the same, especially newbies.
Impressed forcing what the OP did. Investments made using money borrowed from a bank are not the right choice, tantamount to causing new problems and adding to the monthly installment burden for the bank. The next question is how OP pays off the monthly loan that runs every month, because what I read he uses a long term method of investing in bitcoin. The investment he made was correct, but his method was not quite right.

There's no doubt that bitcoin is a good investment for the future, but taking the risk of lending a bank's money can only make it more difficult. I think the OP made a mistake, it's better to buy bitcoin in small amount than borrow money from the Bank. For the next month, OP will definitely be busy looking for money to cover the monthly installment costs.

The dream of owning one bitcoin is the dream of many people, and we can understand OP's desire, but actually he risked too much when borrowing a large amount of money to invest in bitcoin. Because to get profit from bitcoin, we have to calculate by year while OP's interest to pay the bank is monthly. I'm afraid given the current situation, since bitcoin has never experienced something like this before, bear season will last longer, which will definitely be bad for the OP. Hopefully, he has a backup plan for the worst if it happens.
Owning 1BTC have turned to be a big thing. In the past it looked like anyone can afford to have 1BTC, and now things have changed as the market have got widened as well as grown high in value. Op had risked, looking the market situation it is good he had made the entry at the right time. He could try to make some more earning through the regular trading practice. The interest rates on borrowed money is high, but it gives the satisfaction of making his dream come true.
465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase? on: December 25, 2022, 09:48:07 AM
Me and my wife can share everything including password to my wallet and mobile banking app, but once it comes to seed phrase because of some security reasons I won't disclose it to her because most times  woman can be too fragile when it comes to security. And they can also do anything when they feel offended in other to get back at you.
I thisk is better you to let your spouse know about your Bitcoin and ecery other asset holding since you both share almost everything together, but is important to note that you will need to teach her all she beed to know about the security of the wallet phrase and how fragile it is when it gets leak out to others.

That way, your spouse will know how to protect the wallet phrase from outsiders access. Normally is not right to keep any secret from your wife and if you feel you cant trust her, their other better ways to plan things that she may not hace access to the wallet phrase but know where it is and when you are not around your Bitcoin will not just be wasted and lost due to no access.
Might say it was a must to tell them but for me, it only happens when they already understand the nature of the crypto market. What I did is that - I let my partner know about my seeds phrase but my control is still in my hands.
Teach them gradually and make your partner know the consequence if they are irresponsible with those keys/passwords. Because it was not just all about exposing them to what we do but for them to know their part as a holder, know how to take care of it, and the risk of losing those things.

Thats true, just letting them know about the seed phrase could lead to losing the funds. It is good to teach about the risks and how important is the seed phrase. Along with the same letting them know about past stories in which different people have lost huge funds. This will make them understand and remember the importance of keeping the seed phrase in a secure way.

India won the match by 3 wickets. The match viewers would've got thrilled by the performance of India batsmen, because the easy win is taken to a difficult situation and made a comeback. If Bangladesh have managed to score little more runs in its first innings, India might've suffered much to win the match as the pressure will be high. Anyhow the test series winning will given India the peace of mind.

Archer was out because of his elbow and back injury. The series is scheduled next year end of January and he will recover by that time. Tooley and Brook both are back in the team. The last time England played an ODI was against Australia and they were completely destroyed by the Aussie team. It would be interesting to see whether these changes will help them against the South African team.  
We can't be sure of his recovery. However it is an important series for England after the defeat and now news were rolling out with the inclusion of Jofra Archer into the squad for the South Africa tour. This could strengthen the team.

Jofra Archer returns to England's ODI squad for tour of South Africa

Sadly, Rishabh Pant fails to score a well-deserved century today. It was Iyer's partisanship with him that saved India, even though he missed the century. A pathetic performance by Kohli, and Pujara contributed to India's failure to score big in their first innings in test matches. Actions are followed by equal and opposite reactions. It's the same strategy that Bangladesh batsmen will follow after surviving Indian batsmen. Let's wait and see how the ball turns out on the third day morning.
It seems India is going to also gonna won this match . Bangladesh constantly failing on their batting side specially  the problem facing with the top order batsmens and the finishers . I think if Bangladesh wanna come back into this series for Equalized they must have to changed the batting format  .
There is no surprise Bangladesh losing the test matches. Bangladesh somehow managed to win the ODI series. The same won't happen with test matches, because both the format requires different skill sets.

I think Nadal will still be a major threat in the early part of the season when he is fresh and
fit. His skills, experience and his mentality will be able to compensate a bit for his fitness.

His main threat over a 5 set match is going to be the top experienced guys, Djokovic obviously,
Zverev and Medvedev and Alcaraz I suppose.

Obviously, Rafael Nadal is not expected to be eliminated early on. He is still a very capable player. People are saying that he is not eligible to win the title. Despite that, he is not bad enough to be eliminated from the tournament in the first round.

I think the five-set matches are going to be a treat for him alone because I don’t think he still has that type of stamina right now. As he gets older, it is also likely that his stamina will decrease as well. My opinion is that he is not winning. But he should be able to go far in this tournament.

I would think the opposite, I think a 5 set match suits him better because of his other strengths,
Skill and mentality or mental strength.

In a three set match if a player gets the better of you in the first two sets, it's over. In a five setter
you can go behind in the first two sets and still win the match.

I have seen some younger players with less experience go ahead in grand slams but don't have
the mental strength to finish the match
Mental strength is very important and most of the time while the match moves to the fourth set, we can see the stamina going down. As said even after losing the first two sets it is possible to have a comeback, because the winner could've made the hardest play during the first two sets.

Anyhow this Christmas is going to be a special one for the Hotel owner as she's gonna learn something new. In specific knowing and learning about bitcoin is really important for the fast moving world that is much connected to the technology. It is good that more advertisements were giving visibility to the existence of bitcoin even in the rural areas of the country.
471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The reason Dogecoin could fail in the future on: December 21, 2022, 11:45:06 PM
Dogecoin got its popularity through influencers. If not, this could've remained the same as years back. It is not an easy thing to end the market of dogecoin. Sudden growth have created expectation among the common investors, and this being one of the oldest available in the market won't fail easily for the mentioned reasons.

Maybe there is lack of development, but it's usage is experienced all around the market for some needs. Surviving such long years is not an easy thing. This means amidst its lack of development there is real usage of dogecoin which makes it move forward.
472  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't buy altcoins because they are top altcoins on: December 21, 2022, 11:37:21 PM
The top list have remained the same. Some variation have happened with few altcoins entering into the top 50, top 10 and all of the sudden dropping down to valueless. Whether it is bitcoin, altcoins on the top order or something else. Everything have got risk, in that way we can't trust anything. The market is driven over the trust, so whenever making an investment on altcoins it is good to go with the amount one can afford to loss.

What can I say? Be glad you didn't lose everything. Smiley

Actually I think everyone can remember something like this about Crash. It is so frustrating when you cash out just before a long way up without crashing that I personally prefer playing Crash on Auto. I just set the target and wait until it's hit. At least you don't blame yourself on early cash out with that approach.

I can understand your reasoning behind it, but I never auto cash out on Crash. It is a lot more thrill to always manually cash out but I never dare to really let it go so I always cash out pretty quickly; I think my max was like 3x lol.
With crash it is really hard to make wins, because in an event we could cash out at 3X or something. During that run it reaches 50X, and when we just leave it to crash automatically we'll experience the crash happening in less than 2X. Crash is enjoyable when spend with minimal bet values which won't hurt even if we experience continued loss.
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slow down if you want to recover your losses on: December 19, 2022, 11:57:25 PM
People getting to urge more in playing gambling and one of the reason is they wins a lot or they lose a lot of money and of course as a revenge you would like to take you money back or make another profit. It depends now on the persons perspective because some of them want to stop playing already and set a limit and some of them want to play more a lot but still hoping to win this the reason why in playing gambling ideal if you have a lot of money else you lose or didn't enjoy the game
Sometimes if you make the satistics of people who played gamble a day or who play gambling in particular month and they calculate the amount or people who win a gamblling and amount of people who loses gambling, you will know that no person that has been a beneficiary in gambling that does not lose equivalent of what it wins or achieve in the gamblling, so I believe a gamblling is a personal race which is determine by chance of luck
Slowing down will help us recover to some extent, because we'll be very careful handling our fund. Beyond certain point once again we'll loss control and the same could end up losing. Whether it is slow gambling or fast, it is the luck that decide the winning. Even there are wins that have happened just because the person touched the max bet unknowingly. So, it is the luck and not the process.
475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: December 19, 2022, 11:54:47 PM
and on injuries, there is a big question on how Nadal will start off the season at the
Australian open? If he is fit he will be a contender for the title for sure.

We will also see a mighty race to claim Grand Slam titles by both Rafa and Novak in
2023? Only 1 separates them, Rafa on 22 and Novak on 21. Hopefully if Rafa is fit
the competition will be intense.

If Rafael Nadal can stay fit, it is going to be good competition for him in my opinion. We should not forget that he is quite old right now, and it is going to be hard for him to compete against younger opponents.

If there has to be a comparison made between Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic, I will always keep Novak Djokovic ahead in this comparison. Nadal is just too old, and even if he is 100% fit, it is hard to imagine him winning the title, at least that’s my opinion.
It is true, Nadal is too old to keep himself fit against the young players who are making unexpected results on matches. More young players have emerged. For now even with the players of his age he wasn't the strongest as mentioned. Once the play goes down automatically the physical fitness too goes down. This is what happened with Nadal and it is true Djokovic is strong against Nadal.
476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why every casino got bad habits? on: December 19, 2022, 11:51:46 PM
If you have a look at the scam accusation section, you will find that no casino has a good reputation there. Each and every casino which has their ANN thread here, has at least one complaint against them; sometimes confiscated funds, delayed withdrawal, not paying the winning, freezing account etc. Why this is the principal of all the casinos? Why they can't operate without having any issues? They always do this shit; who knows what has been done with people who don't know how to deal with such a casino. Can you show me a thread that never had any reputation issues on this forum?

Nothing wrong about having an accusation as long as the problem is being solved by the said casinos.

I don't know if there's a gambling site that doesn't face any issues. In any operations, expect that there will be some issues on the way.

But if those casinos were able to settle and clear the issues smoothly, then that's a important thing there.
Issues arise everywhere. The goodness is how the team takes the accusations and finds the solution. Just because the casino had got accusations we can't term them with negative statements. To see a casino without accusations is really impossible. To operate without issues will be the platform developed in a decentralised way. Such thing isn't possible with gambling platforms.

That's correct and I agree with it. It's impossible to expect that no issues will be raised on any gambling platform regardless of its current state and reputation.

Accusations are part of the developing casinos and it's even a good reference for others if they saw how gambling sites are addressing the issues.

Even in a decentralized way, expect that there will be flaws and issues, much even worst should I say.
Agreed, even with the decentralised things there'll be flaws. When there arises a mistake and the team looks for the solution, it serves to be a learning for the team and they'll keep them on the track not to happen anymore. So, accusations with proof is really a must for the progress of the Casinos and the same doesn't make the casino untrusted.

Most of the games in which animals were involved were much connected to the tradition and culture. In the name of harming animals more and more activists come out against them. This shouldn't happen, because they're following what is being followed by the ancestors.

These incidents paved path for more common people to get into the market. Same didn't last for longer time period and we can't be sure of the Market to be bullish forever. The real growth is happening, and we're experiencing the bear market for now. The transition from the bear market will happen at the earliest.

Thats a good birthday gift. Such stores are much in need, maybe this will help with the laymen to invest into cryptocurrencies. Common people aren't much aware of cryptocurrencies and the people who have come across the same have the fear and doesn't know how to invest. These kind of stores can do this for the common people which will boost the usage of cryptocurrencies.

For now it is good to invest/buy bitcoin. The price that was above $17k have fallen down to $16500. Rather than looking for the bottom one can start DCA which will help us to have our bitcoin at the best price than missing chances. Whenever the market drops down it is good to invest. This won't be followed by every user, but they intend to invest/buy when the Market begins to move bullish.
