I think Bitcoin's got legs in the long run, but no way am I gonna bet the farm on some pie-in-the-sky price target.  I'm playing the long game here - just gonna ride out the highs and lows and wait for my precious coins to shine and  if we ever get to 100k, heymazel tov, but I ain't cashing out completely.  Maybe just a little to treat myself.  Nah, hitting a number like that - itll tell me I wasn't nuts for hodling and remind me why I got into this whole crazy ride in the first place. 

I'm not one of those guys watching the charts all day, ready to dump everything.  I believe in this thing.  That means taking the downturns with the upswings.  So I'll keep on hodling keep on waiting, maybe grab a little profit if we moon.  But I didnt get into Bitcoin to make a quick buck.  I'm here for the long haul.

If you wanna learn more about PvP gambling games, I'd suggest checking out this guide:

That thread could give you a solid overview of the different kinds of PvP gambling games out there, plus some pointers for how to play them well and hopefully come out on top.  

I'm not so sure about those statistics OP mentioned.  From what I've read, way more people seem to be investing in bitcoin for the long run instead of trading it.  The numbers show that a ton more buy it planning to hold it rather than try to make a quick buck off price changes. 

Sure, some make money playing the volatility game in the short term.  But those traders are by far the minority compared to the growing number of investors who think bitcoin could explode in value down the road.  Most folks aren't out to make a fast profit - they want to hold it for years and hopefully make a killing when it really takes off and  thats been the pattern at least.  People buy it and hang onto it, rather than flipping it day to day or week to week.  They're playing the long game not trying to time the dips and peaks.

Just doesn't seem right to say there are more traders than investors.  From everything I've seen its the total opposite.

Nevertheless, we reap as we sow.  I think we can all agree on that.  So whatever treatment you get on this forum stems from how you act.  If you want folks here to be kinder to you, then you gotta start being kinder yourself first.  Show more respect, manners and open-mindedness and  get into meaningful conversations and avoid spreading misinformation or negativity.  If you can do these things, you will start to see a difference in how people treat you.

Don't believe everything you read online.

For instance, if ZiraxiaWallet is such a trusted choice in the market, as they claim, then why are you the first person to ever mention it on this forum, considering it's the largest and oldest crypto community on the internet?


Moreover, the same author also recommends Pandoshi and Shiba Inu as the best cryptocurrencies to invest in 2024?!  This website is a laughing stock.

No, it is not a common form of sending BTC. He's probably messing with you.

Have you done any research on that "Ziraxia wallet" to see if it is legit? I've never heard of it and would rather stick to proven and reputable wallets when it comes to money. Scams with fake wallets and fake exchanges are the most common form in this crypto world.

There aren't.

Hitting winners 9 times out of 10? That kind of hot streak definitely can't last.  At some point, your luck will run dry.  Maybe it already has.

The markets have a way of humbling overly confident beginners.  You should brace for some losses or missed opportunities.  Can't let yourself get cocky or reckless chasing another rush like that.  It's too easy to overtrade when youre used to wins coming easy.  Patience and discipline become more important.

I hope you get your device eventually. But when you get it, I suggest you be careful and check that the device is in its original packaging and that it has not been tampered with. You never know...

I'm not swayed at all by casino streamers.  Sure, they can be fun to watch when they're hyping up big wins and creating an electric mood.  but me personally? I take their over-the-top reactions with a huge grain of salt. and  I mean, c'mon, theyre literally paid to ham it up for views and get people pumped to gamble.

The way I figure - their giant bets and massive jackpot spins make for good entertainment but have little to nada in common with how your average Joe gambles for real.  Like, no way am I plunking down the kind of crazy cash they play with regularly.  And I'm guessing most people would agree those monster payouts they score are more exception than rule. 

So yeah. I enjoy the casino streamer spectacle at face value.  But as far as influencing how I actually gamble? Their exaggerations don't impact me one tiny bit.

Yeah, TOS documents can be real snoozefests.  All that legal jargon going on and on.  Makes your eyes glaze over, right? But actually paying attention to the fine print can save you some major headaches down the road if something goes wrong at an online casino and 

Here's the deal: The TOS lays out the rules of engagement between you and the casino.  It may be boring, but it tells you important stuff like how disputes get handled, your rights as a player and rules around bonuses and promotions.  If you don't read it and end up having issues, the casino can just point to the TOS.  So do yourself a favor and suffering through the legalese so you know what you are agreeing to.  That way if problems pop up later, you'll be prepared and know your options. 

I tend to place my bets before kickoff rather than live.  There's something about having that ticket locked in ahead of time that sets my mind at ease.  Pre-match, I'll carefully look over the recent form, make a prediction, and hopefully pick a winner.  Once the action gets going though I just try to sit back and enjoy rather than stress over in-play wagers and  those can turn south real fast if you let 'em.

But I gotta disagree that that's the whole picture.  Sure, staying busy might make it less likely for some folks to end up with a gambling problem.  However there's usually more to it than that. 

Gambling addiction is complicated, with lots of things playing into it.  Plus, people struggled with getting addicted to gambling even before everything went online and  so while keeping occupied helps for some, it doesnt fix the underlying problem or rule out addiction.

A lot of people are fucked up, that doesn't mean you should insult them.  People use insults when they are not intelligent enough for a constructive discussion.  But if you start with insults, you can expect insults back at you. That's how it works.


Your behavior on this forum has led many to label you a troll.  Your every utterance further cements that impression.   To be honest, the level of your communication is so subpar that it's hard to believe you possess any formal education, let alone a Ph.D.  I may be wrong, but that's the impression you've left on me.

Are you referring to withdrawal fees from some centralized platform or transaction fees on the Bitcoin network in general?

Withdrawal fees - those are set by whichever platform or company you're taking your money out of.  Could be a flat rate, could be a percentage.  Up to them.  Bitcoin transaction fees though, those work differently.  Bicoin users actually decide those by trying to outbid each other to get transactions on the next block.  Market doesn't really affect the fees much directly - they can spike if the network gets congested or if there's a rush to move BTC for some reason.  I thought most folks already knew this stuff inside out.


For lots of folks who are into Bitcoin, using altcoins instead ain't really something they wanna mess with.  I'd bet most people holding Bitcoin long-term have zero interest in converting their BTC to some other random coin just to take money off a platform and  so, that could actually be good for gambling sites in a way.  If its a pain to withdraw funds, seems like more people will just leave their money on the platforms.

It does seem kinda unfair to act like people are just panicking when they bring up the high fees.  Like you said, even big Bitcoin fans can get slammed by the fees if they need to move their coins around a lot for dollar cost averaging or whatever else.  And some folks actually do use Bitcoin for everyday buys, so when the fees spike, it makes those transactions stupid expensive or even impossible. 

The exchange thing you mentioned could be a workaround for avoiding the fees when DCAing but it's not perfect.  You still gotta trust that third party, which opens up risks and  plus it doesn't really fix the underlying issue here - those high fees are still a problem for Bitcoin as a whole.   

There's legitimate issues around Bitcoin scalability and fees that still need solutions.  We gotta have open and honest conversations to make progress. 

I disagree. Having various casinos could seem expensive, but it's actually smart business.  When companies set up multiple gaming sites, they expand their reach to hook more players.  It's also a chance to try out new games and strengthen their rep.  So while it requires some initial investment, operating different casinos can pay off down the road through bigger profits.   

I mean think about it and  more sites equals more visibility and more hype surrounding their whole brand.  Even if some of the ventures don't totally pan out, the wins they score still drive up overall revenues.  It allows them to cast a wider net, if you will.  What may appear costly on the surface can actually demonstrate some business savvy in the grand scheme of things.

I get that sites reviewing casinos probably don't pull in the big bucks.  But doing fake, paid reviews will cost them their integrity in the long run.  Once readers feel like they cant trust your take on these sites anymore, they'll stop coming.  So while some extra cash might be nice in the short term, fake reviews kill a site's credibility.  And without that you're as good as dead on arrival.

Reviews of casinos can definitely be helpful, but only if they're done properly.  And  personally I appreciate casino reviews that get right to the point instead of droning on and on just to increase word count.  Also, I agree that too many ads cluttering up the page doesn't exactly scream reliable source either. 

I've seen folks struggle with this before.  When stuff gets rocky in their relationships, it can muck up their thinking around gambling too.  All that stress messes with your head. Makes it real tough to keep a level head and make good bets.  And then they lose more money, which definitely doesn't help matters at home.

It's probably smart for gamblers to think about how problems in their relationships can spill over into poor choices at the tables or track and  if youre fighting with your partner might be best to step away until you get that sorted, instead of losing a bunch of money and making things worse.  Just my two cents though based on what I've observed with people close to me.

Gambling is entertainment through and through, even if you do it in a responsible way.  At the end of the day, it's not meant to be a consistent income stream.  The odds are against you so it's really hard to actually turn a profit over the long run.  There are some lucky few who can win big, but most people end up losing over time. 

Trading cryptos and whatnot can make more money compared to gambling.  But it's a risky thing too and  you gotta have lots of specialized smarts in that area patience to wait out the bad times, and self-control so your emotions dont rule your choices.  Seasoned traders still lose sometimes and go through down periods money-wise.  So for both gambling and trading, consistency is elusive.  That's part of why they attract folks looking for a rush or thrill.  But steady careers and entrepreneurship do better for dependable income.


I agree. That's a pretty small amount, so even if you lose it all, it probably wont hurt you too bad financially.  But even more important is that you gotta set some kind of budget for gambling and actually stick to it. 

So far, Real Madrid and Barcelona seem to be the only ones supporting this so-called Super League.  Most other clubs want nothing to do with it.  You gotta wonder - do they really think they can get this thing off the ground with just two teams?! I mean, who's gonna play in this league? Just Barça and Los Blancos going head-to-head every weekend? As interesting as El Clasico is, I think fans would get sick of it real fast if that's all there was.
