To dismiss luck as irrelevant and declare poker purely a game of skill would be overstating the case. Both chance and skill are essential to the outcome of any game, including poker. While a more seasoned player has a statistical edge, the luck of the draw can always swing the game in another player's favour.

The analogy to chess is, well, not perfect. In a game of chess, all of your opponent's pieces and their prospective actions are completely visible to you, while in a game of poker, certain information is concealed from you. Because of this, bluffing becomes an essential part of the game of poker. Therefore, it is more of a subjective than objective comparison to say that poker is easier than chess.

This basically goes to the plane of psychology, if a person does not have enough strength to take certain things and risks in the game, then they should not be in a casino, because we as human beings and thinkers know what are the risks that casinos. they bring, and this is something that is evidently seen in each person when the addiction is not controlled, it is an unfortunate situation, but obviously many things can be done to avoid it, among them the so-called self-control because for many it is difficult to get there, but with a good experience can be done or achieved, even much more, everything also depends on the personality of the person in how he faces certain difficult situations.

For this, it is always best to bet with little money, there is no other way, if you bet little money and lose, it hurts, but not as much as losing a lot of money, these are the things that one should consider when making a bet , or enter a casino to make any type of movement.

Im not sure that minimising risk by placing modest wagers is the best strategy. Essentially, you're telling us to expect modest failure. To me, this reflects a defeatist mindset. It's all or nothing in life. Why take any kind of risk if you're only going to give it a shoddy effort?

Contrary to popular belief, casinos do not provide devilish games all the time. These places are full of potential and possibility. A lot of money can be made or lost there. The anticipation of a lucky draw or lucky roll of the dice is indescribable. It's not always about the cash, but rather the thrill of the chase.

Some people go to casinos for the excitement of the high stakes, the element of surprise, and the thrill of taking a chance. They are aware of the risks involved and choose to go nevertheless. This isnt a bad luck occurrence; it's a deliberate decision. Being able to appreciate something while still being aware of the potential consequences is the core of self-control.
4603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: July 07, 2023, 01:12:07 PM
Honestly if you have started to take the interest just now then you should give more time before you can understand the game. I used to be like this before, whenever someone used to start talking about some games then I was like feeling enthusiastic and motivated about that game but in reality that’s just good hormones pumping when you are around that game enthusiast. It does not mean you can start understanding the game right away and be master of it. Everything starts with basics. You should know the game basics itself, how it is played, how the points are calculated and much more. Then one should start learning about the players and how they did in the past and much more. Then start betting on that game. Smiley
It is true that before learning something, it takes time to master that subject well. If watching a person playing a game inspires you and encourages you to play that game, you should definitely know. If you play the game a few times then it is not possible to get everything just by playing inspired so in that case you need to know this clearly first. It is necessary to have complete knowledge while playing games but you can achieve success by playing games. Before placing the bet, you have to keep in mind that the past performance and current performance of the players you are betting on will ensure you win. And after knowing all these things clearly and gaining general knowledge, then betting will definitely be possible to win in betting.
Success in games - and life - depends on a complicated mix of talent, strategy, chance, and sometimes surprise. Understanding players' previous and present performances can help with strategy, but it's not failsafe. Consider a poker player who routinely bluffs. Given their track record, one might bet against them. What if they change strategy next round? Thus, even if you know their history, you may lose your bet. Knowledge is important, but depending only on it for success ignores the complex dynamics of games and betting.

Even though you have not know the concept of everything concerning gambling at list you that gambling is something I know that many people who is involve in gambling have not taken it as source of money, because they do they would not have continue to gamble to this extent because I know that gambling is something that I know quite well that majority who addicted to it lose more than what they expected to win, but I understand on my on way that gambling is something of choice and some people are involving their self in gambling because of happiness they trap doing it
Its true that most gamblers lose more than they win, which develops a vicious cycle. Thats hardly a prize. Its fascinating that individuals keep playing despite the obvious and repeated defeats. Perhaps they regard it as a type of amusement, a high, rather than a serious business. In that way, gambling becomes a game, a rollercoaster of victories and losses that thrills like no other activity. Yes, its a choice, just like eating dessert when we know it's unhealthy - unique entertainment. Just keep in mind: the house always wins
4605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education and money as the key to Bitcoin adoption. on: July 07, 2023, 12:31:31 PM
First of all its going to take some time before people could see and make any type of adoption because things do not get adopted in a single moment, it takes time before it gets adopted and that's a very normal thing. You do not see people all starting to use the same thing in a single day. Even back when money was invented, it was used in a particular part of the world, it wasn't like it was created one day and next day all the world was using it, it took centuries before everyone stopped using barter and started to use gold. Long story short we are going to need some time, and of course we are going to need technological literate people as well, older people are having a bit of a trouble about it currently. But in the future even older people will be capable of using it because we would be the old ones.
You state that widespread use of cryptocurrency will take some time. I see your point. However, I would argue that it is less about time and more about necessity, based on my own inflated sense of knowledge. Today's society embraces new technologies at a breakneck pace. You make a false comparison when you say that it took millennia for money to become widely used. Cryptocurrencies are not a new idea like money was. What we have now can be found in digital form.

I find it a terrible pill to swallow that you bring up the difficulties of the elderly. If the motivation is great enough, people of any age can change. I've witnessed seventy-year-olds learning how to use iPhones like it's nothing. If cryptos really prove to be as important as you claim, then its adoption would be inevitable across all age groups.

4607  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kyc for accounts or wallets on: July 07, 2023, 11:44:24 AM
Leaving aside the confusion created by the OP regarding kyc wallets, something I've never heard of. One thing I've been thinking about for a long time is that the governments have mandated that any company that handles other people's money should ask those people to do kyc, so I'm wondering how long it will be before governments start chasing the wallets so that they start forcing their customers to do kyc, because from what I see it's a matter of a few years before we start seeing wallets asking for kyc, unfortunately the damn kyc is here to stay

and every day the situation tends to get worse, I myself am shocked when certain exchanges ask for proof of origin of funds, even being in a bitcoin market, such exchanges want complicated documents, but the most shocking thing is that I do not see any government doing inspections in the exchanges, so I don't understand why they are so hard on people when they ask for kyc, has anyone here ever heard that a casino or exchange was fined by some government because they didn't ask for kyc? Anyway, I hope that at least wallets are not forced to ask for kyc so soon
It feels like the regulatory authorities and us are stuck in a perpetual game of cat and mouse. Bitcoin was designed from the ground up to be a completely decentralised and anonymous digital currency. Still, here we are, going through the motions of KYC checks for cryptocurrency wallets. I don't like to admit that, but I think you're probably right. Given the worldwide push for rules, it may not be long until wallets also require KYC.

It seems excessive for exchanges to demand confirmation of funds, right? But they're the ones attempting to follow the rules so they don't get in trouble with the authorities. It's difficult to predict how government inspections will go. Perhaps they are taking place unseen to the public eye.

But I think we as a society have a duty to resist these intrusions into our financial privacy. Crypto was supposed to be our safe haven from these oppressive restrictions, but now it may be one of the first things to go.
4608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: July 07, 2023, 11:21:43 AM

It is important to learn this information about what other traders are doing or how they are doing it before investing. This allows us to have an idea and learn from others if they have made mistakes. Crypto trading is always risky, but the returns are as high as the risks.

There are things to look out for when learning about how other traders are trading. When did they trade, or what is the difference between when you traded and when they traded? There are limited events in the market that evolve in the same way. We should always be open to innovation. An investment made last month may not be right this month. Or even the amount we invest may change.

So investing is an individual behavior. Investment is realized in line with one's expectations. Remember, acting according to the opinions of others may not always be the right decision. Have your own opinion.
You raise a good point when you say that traders can get insight from the experiences of others. But here's how I see it. Trading cryptocurrencies requires a certain amount of luck. It's a roller coaster of ups and downs that can be equally rewarding or devastating. We'd all be rich if mimicking someone else's success was all it took.

Certainly, timing plays a crucial role in the financial markets. But that's only a small part of a much larger mechanism. When market conditions change even slightly, the results can be very different. Therefore, it may be futile to attempt to imitate another trader's timing.

Investing is a highly individual process. Your investing choices should reflect your personal long-term goals, comfort level with financial risk, and outlook on the market. After all, the cash is yours. You should never let the opinions of others sway your final choice.
4609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as an opportunity for the unbanked. on: July 07, 2023, 10:59:16 AM
Banks are regulated and supervised by government entities, which provides certain protections and guarantees to depositors, however, as many of us know, these have other problems such as privacy and centralization, I think both have their advantages and disadvantages because as you say that Blockchain technology ensures protection... there have been cases of bitcoin theft in the past due to vulnerabilities in the exchange platforms or security errors in digital wallets.

I personally prefer to keep my money in Bitcoin, but only to see it more as a long term investment, the real approach that we should implement to the bankers would be that, to make them see that Bitcoin is an excellent investment method, since as some commented not in all countries this Bitcoin as legal tender and that brings difficulties for countries that do not have this benefit.
The banking industry, under government 'protection' and regulation, resembles something out of a play, with the banks playing the roles of actors and the government playing the role of the director, while the rest of us can do nothing but watch. Centralization and privacy concerns are really a subplot in this carefully staged show. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a welcome change of pace, even if there are occasional security flaws. At least it's not an act; at least it's real.

While I agree that Bitcoin can be used as a long-term investment, I believe it has far more potential than that. Motivating financial institutions to see Bitcoin as an investment option is only part of the problem. Getting people to see the flaws in their own system is the goal. That Bitcoin's rise isn't random, but rather a reflection of their own shortcomings.

Its true that Bitcoin isnt recognised as currency in all countries. However, thats just Scene Two, right? The lagging nations will inevitably suffer the effects of this. Bitcoin's popularity isnt going away anytime soon.
4610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accepting Bitcoin on: July 07, 2023, 10:37:25 AM
Speaking from experience, integrating Bitcoin into traditional businesses, such as your mom's tailoring shop, is far from an effortless stroll in the park. However, I firmly believe in this cause, and it is worth every bead of sweat. Some would argue the challenges posed by your government and currency valuation make this a futile endeavor. I challenge such defeatist thinking!

While I respect your desire to hodl, think about the potential benefit of accepting Bitcoin payments and converting a portion into your local currency. This could cushion you from extreme volatility while still allowing you to benefit from long-term growth.

And for the love of Satoshi Nakamoto, if your government is lukewarm towards Bitcoin, let's show them what they're missing out on! Public opinion can and does change policy. Let your mom's shop be the Bitcoin torchbearer in your community.
4611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I Can't Stand POS for Bitcoin on: July 07, 2023, 10:16:21 AM
POS gives a few stakeholders control, but doesn't POW too? Who can compete with China's megamines? How decentralised? POS's issues are valid. However, objectivity is essential. Problems are solvable. Ethereum is fighting them. POW's energy issue is very difficult. POW is Bitcoin's robust foundation. The holy grail? Still arguable. POW isn't perfect, even as we optimise it.

POW improves decentralisation and reliability, but it may be improved. As a healthy sceptic, I must add that POW may be Bitcoin's best strategy, but it's not flawless. Despite our attachment to present systems, we must remain open to new ideas and improvements
4612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you not hodling on: July 07, 2023, 09:56:34 AM
At some point,  some persons who even participate in signature  campaigns and earn bitcoin  without having to buy directly, who should have been the most persons to have some good figures in their portfolios still aren't having any because most of them either withdraw this earnings to fiat to be able to make ends meet or withdraw it to solve some issues but whatever the case be, alot of persons aren't hodling currently now not because they are ignorant  or even procrastinating but I believe  one of the major reason is because they don't have to means to invest.
Everyone on this forum is aware of bitcoin and what it may become in the future; the problem is simply a lack of funds and investment capital. No one wants to miss out on the upcoming bull run, but it is difficult to invest when you are already struggling to pay your bills and take care of personal issues. Nevertheless, I believe we all have plans for how to raise the necessary funds. You will learn that there are always problems to fix and that the money won't be enough to tackle these problems even after participating in the signature campaign and receiving payments. People that have upper hands of investing are those that have multiple jobs, more like someone who has a well paying job outside the forum and still participates in signature campaigns that way they can easily save their bitcoin earnings because they are not dependent on it.

I currently own a little amount of bitcoin, but I want to own more, so I've been intending to add even 10 dollars' worth of it each week from my signature earnings. Over time, regardless of how long it takes, the amount of bitcoin I own will grow. I don't think I'll ever be able to save, and if I don't do this and I might miss the bull run.
My friend, life is a never-ending series of challenges and rewards. You show great tenacity in wanting to raise your Bitcoin holdings despite financial limits. However, it is critical to recognise that currency, whether in the form of Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, is only a tool.

We are hampered not by a lack of resources but by a lack of creativity. Those who work more than one job may have more investment opportunities, but they still have to deal with the same time and energy limits as everyone else.

Try not to take yourself too seriously while you go about the process of amassing Bitcoin. The satisfaction of investing comes not just from monetary gain, but also from the knowledge and development it fosters. Consequently, you should put in both time and money into education. No matter the market conditions, that's the best investment you can make.
4613  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Having no money to invest in Bitcoin is even better on: July 07, 2023, 09:34:30 AM

Of course, people have different characters and behaviors, but sometimes, many begin to act spontaneously and not deliberately under the influence of external factors. Recall, at least, the hype of 2017, when only the lazy didn't buy cryptocurrencies. A lot of people, including me, practically didn't study the projects, didn't delve into all the subtleties and details, which led to losses. Many projects either disappeared or never returned to those indicators. Why am I saying this? And then, that not everything is so simple and that bitcoin turned out to be not the worst solution (when compared with other cryptocurrencies) for spontaneous investments.

If mention OP's post, then it would be most correct to say the following. If you have money, then invest in btc (having learned the basics first, but in general, it has a fairly low entry threshold and doesn't require extraordinary knowledge and skills). If not, learn more about bitcoin /cryptocurrencies and when you are financially and mentally ready, then invest.
While the sentiment that people acted spontaneously during the 2017 crypto-hype is accurate, I argue that it wasnt simply a lack of knowledge that led to their losses. In fact, the issue was more fundamental: it was a failure to recognize the speculative nature of the market.

Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency should never be seen as a shortcut to wealth, but as a tool for disrupting traditional financial systems. I agree with your advice of learning the basics before investing, yet I push it a step further. Learn not only the basics of Bitcoin but the entire philosophy of decentralization and how it challenges the existing systems.

Regarding Bitcoin being the 'safest' option for spontaneous investments, I remain skeptical. Even Bitcoin is subjected to significant price volatility and its 'safety' is subjective to the risk tolerance of the individual investor. Bitcoin is more than just a safe investment; it's a bold stand against the existing system.

4614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: P2P will safe your life on: July 07, 2023, 09:12:23 AM
You've made an interesting idea in advocating for long-term trusted trading connections, however this runs opposed to the core spirit of what Bitcoin represents: decentralisation. I think it's a step backwards to advocate for a trust-based system because that means going towards a more centralised structure. We might as well be asked to put our faith in the government and huge banks all over again.

You're right, there are problems with Bisq. Each and every one of them does. However, these problems can be fixed. Bitcoiners, rather than reverting to more traditional trust-based relationships, ought to concentrate on enhancing and perfecting these decentralised alternatives.

Also, it's risky to discount the importance of regulated markets altogether. Yes, they have their own issues, but they supply Bitcoin with the services and liquidity it needs to thrive in the current economic context. Throwing them out entirely would be like trying to save the world by drowning it in a bathtub full of dirty water.

As long as you are aware that gambling is a risky business and you may lose your money, then the rest is your personal preference and you can do whatever you want with it. There are some people who seriously think that they can get rich on gambling but we all know that's not possible and that's why I keep saying that it is not going to end up with anything good at all.

I believe that we should be careful with what we are wishing for and if we end up gambling with all our money then we will lose all our money. However, if we end up with a good result eventually then we are going to realize it might be short lived. This is why if you know that it is risky then you are already ahead of so many people and will not be really doing any bad work at all.
You've accurately depicted gambling's risks. Gambling is perilous, but understanding its psychology is also important. A gain, however modest, triggers a dopamine rush that veils reasoning and makes risky enterprise look worthwhile.

Gamblers also believe in the gambler's fallacy, which holds that previous occurrences can affect future events. They continue reckless betting anticipating a different result. The lucky few who gain a fortune are outliers. Most gamblers lose money. Playing with fire is risky even if you know it.
4616  Economy / Gambling / Re: What other gambling sites offers free bitcoins like freebitco on: July 06, 2023, 07:36:16 PM

People think faucets are a waste of time because nowadays, with the rewards dropping drastically over the past few years, collecting more satoshis would take longer. Perhaps, those who use that faucet to collect free satoshis don't find it a waste of time because at least they can get it for free without having to buy it on the exchange.

I advise you to buy bitcoin using DCA instead of a faucet or use both a faucet and DCA so that at least you can have more bitcoins. When the bull run comes, you might not be able to collect many satoshis, so you should set aside some of the money you have to invest in bitcoin.
I appreciate your perspective and certainly see the validity of your advice, but I find myself skeptical of its one-size-fits-all applicability. Yes, faucet rewards have shrunk over time, rendering them less profitable. However, for beginners, faucets offer a valuable opportunity to learn about Bitcoin transactions and blockchain without financial risks.

Moreover, suggesting DCA strategy is sound advice for long-term, stable investment. Yet, it disregards the appeal of faucets for those who may not have the initial capital to invest in Bitcoin via exchanges. While faucets may not yield considerable returns, they do offer a free, albeit slow, entry into the world of cryptocurrency.

Advising people to set aside money to invest in Bitcoin, in anticipation of a bull run, is both wise and risky. It presumes future market conditions and urges investment based on prediction rather than individual financial capacity and risk tolerance.

Here I doubt that such a rather artificial intervention in the brain and in the thinking abilities of a person cannot be assessed as the evolutionary development of a person.  And this is something, such a human-robot that will appear after such an intervention in the brain at the level of modern technologies, perhaps it will be more like a cyborg or a terminator, but in no way like an evolved person.  It's just that the process of brain evolution over the past 500-1000 years, as modern scientists who directly study the brain itself, its structure, neurons and other brain structures, has not undergone any serious qualitative change.  So in any case, progress in the digital sphere will go much faster than the development of the human brain.  At the same time, it does not matter what scientists have invented in terms of activation of brain centers in the system of biological processes.  I doubt it will be otherwise. 

And AI, in my opinion, may eventually begin to pose a danger to humanity, as a new type of civilization that is nascent.  By the way, much more resistant to external factors.  It easily penetrates with relatively little protection both to a depth of 4000 meters in the ocean and in a vacuum in space, and can even settle on the Moon and other planets.

You make a good point about brain-computer interactions deviating from human evolution. Also sceptical. Increasing our cognitive powers through technology may sound appealing, but it raises philosophical problems about our humanity.

By incorporating machines into our bodies, are we becoming cyborgs rather than developed humans? It seems reasonable. The human brain hasn't changed in millennia, while technology has advanced rapidly. Our AI may outpace us. AI as an emerging society is scary. As you indicated, they may survive environments that humans cannot. As we approach unprecedented change, this topic is tense.
4618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 06, 2023, 06:55:13 PM
I don’t know how exactly this data was collected so I can’t be too dismissive of it, but I tend to think that there probably isn’t such a big difference between men and women when it comes to gambling. Sure, I’ve heard Men have more addictive personalities, but when it comes to gambling styles I would hesitate to base things on sex.
Undoubtedly, there is no difference for luck, who is in the place of the gambler. Be it a woman, a man, or even a dog. In gambling (with the possible exception of card games, where you still have to use your brain) there is no need to possess any special physical or mental abilities. The casino doesn't care who the player is and the probability of winning is the same for everyone. Truly, this is the only place in the world where everyone can be equal.Smiley

As for addiction, I've heard the opposite, that women are more prone to it. How many people - so many opinions. As long as it is impossible to prove or disprove without proper research, everything remains at the level of rumors and speculation.
Well, I know where you're coming from, but gambling isnt as equal as it appears. Although statistically correct, the concept that everyone has an equal chance misses many of life's complexities. People have varied financial strengths. For some, losing a bet is a mere setback; for others, its a life-changing calamity. Addiction is dangerous for both men and women. I've seen men and women slip into gambling addiction. The excitement, the adrenaline, the frenzied pursuit of lost bets - its a terrible state.

Scientifically, addiction is personal. Psychological traits matter more than gender stereotypes. We should defend women, not judge them, even if they're more prone. Lets get rid of our prejudices.

I believe in the future that there will be many web3 casinos too but that does not mean that they are free from KYC regulations as well because that is to prevent other criminal acts including money laundering, I have never differentiated between the two because they are the same technology that we admit too, I have also been worried about connecting the wallet to an untrusted website, but I use another solution, which is to use a backup wallet to connect to the web3 casino and if I get money from the backup wallet then I will send money to my personal main wallet.
Even though they use the same technology, look at the title written by the justbet casino representative. They claim that web2 casinos are fake and unfair, while they claim that web3 casinos are better than them. I also think there will be more web3 casinos in the future. New platforms will learn from old casino mistakes. We might see more improved platforms in the future.

I believe this thread is part of their marketing strategy. They want bitcoin talk users to talk about their platform. No matter if it's positive or negative. They will get some traffic from this topic. But, i don't think such marketing strategies are good for business.
Companies have always smeared their rivals. Justbet's representative's assertion that all web2 casinos are "fake and unfair" is ridiculous. Web2 casinos, like web3, differ in fairness, transparency, and user experience. Blockchain's openness might make web3 casinos the next big thing. claiming they'll be better is like claiming books are better than movies - its subjective and depends on implementation. Its possible this topic is a marketing gimmick. You're right: stirring the pot can draw traffic regardless of the conversation's tone. Its another matter whether its good for business. Isnt all publicity good? Is it?
4620  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: July 06, 2023, 06:09:08 PM
In some cases, these casinos claims of hack as a result of data leakage which I see as a cooked up story. In the real sense, most data are being traded in exchange for something based on their agreement.
trading data that the casino might carry out to other parties, it is actually detrimental to the casino. maybe you can argue about their hacked security system, but that will reduce the member's trust.
this kind of thing usually happens in casinos that are almost bankrupt. or indeed their reputation has started badly. so they no longer care about the data being sold. because maybe casinos like that can close their casinos and do similar businesses with different names.
Well, this is basically the reason why using new and untrustworthy casinos is not a good option, one might use a new casino if they want to check it out but they should never complete their KYC verification with them because they are not trustworthy and don't have a good reputation so they can do almost anything with users' data, so a user joining a new platform only to try it out should basically never provide them their personal documents as that isn't free of risk.

I understand that hacks and exploits can even happen with reputable platforms but at least they wouldn't sell the data only to get money which is what a new and untrustworthy casino might do if they need money or even if they are planning to scam their gamblers and run away with their funds.
Its too black-and-white. Its important to distinguish new casinos. Your anxiety is justified but excessive. New businesses value reputation, security, and user data. A blanket distrust precludes exceptions.

KYC is risky. Sharing sensitive data is difficult, but KYC is a two-way street. It prevents fraud and enforces regulations to safeguard operators and players. Regardless of age, a casino that follows strict KYC practises is usually trustworthy.

However, even well-established casinos can commit crimes. Reputation doesn't guarantee infallibility. I'm not dismissing your concerns, but online gambling is risky. Pick your battles, be careful, and stay alert. Always.
