Why should a gambler have a record of how much money they spend on gambling and how much is earned ?
Maybe for a gambler who thinks only about money-oriented, they can do it. But for a gambler who commonly plays only for fun, having a record like that is useless. To be honest, I never tracked my funds or how much I spent money so far. I think it is not needed and only rises another burden on our minds.  Grin

Do you think people don't understand that the key to success in any case is to control your emotions and make informed decisions?
I know that's why I make it clearer. Anyway, after reading your reply I know that you really have a problem with controlling emotion. Sometimes there is a typical person easy to angry or emotion to others. And this type of person will be difficult to hear people's advice.  Tongue

Similarly, it is difficult for people who gamble to remain calm when they lose their money over and over again.
You must know what people said, "limit your funds" or kindly stop temporarily if you feel not comfortable after losing streak. Never force yourself to gamble if you are not ready or in a bad mood. That only triggers you to more losses.

It is impossible to think that some people are still hoping to get rich doing bounty campaigns even when the handwriting is clearly on the wall. When will you wake up from your dream?
If you hope from the new projects with token payment, it will be a daydreaming mostly. Well, probably there is not at all. But, most will not, since 2018, the bounty was not as worthy as in 2017. So, I agree with you, be realized with the latest condition of TODAY.

But, if you really want to be rich from bounty, we should ask first.
1. What is the definition of rich?
2. How much money to earn every week to be determined as rich from bounty?

Well, there is a way to make the dream come true, not only daydreaming. Yeah, the way is by participating in the signature campaign with BTC payment (most recommended), USD fixed payment, ETH, or event there is also GOLD Token payment.
You can see, there are several bounties with high payment every week. If you can participate in them, it will earn you more, probably not that rich, but it will make you feel relieved in this Coronavirus pandemic.
4964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming and Mobile Sport Betting May Be Legal After Covid-19 End??? on: May 04, 2020, 02:50:48 PM
Well, from what I read mostly online gambling and mobile sports betting are legal in many countries of the members here. It is good enough, moreover, when many more offline casinos and sports betting industry widen their reach to the online world, this will be even more interesting. And what's more, it will minimize some expenses. Let's wait for the reaction of big casinos and sports betting after Covid-19 is over.

I read some articles that China wants the Philippines to start prohibiting online betting or gambling, I just don't know the reason why.

Yes, I also read those articles. Some of them are:
https://www.rappler.com/nation/238192-china-wants-philippines-ban-online-gambling
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-21/china-wants-philippines-online-gaming-ban-after-halting-permits
https://lcb.org/news/china-pushes-for-online-gambling-ban-in-philippines

This news was about August 2019. They said that the aim of this was for preventing illegal outflows of any funds and also unauthorized recruitment of the employees.
However, we do not know what happens next further. Today, China itself widen their sector in Blockchain technology that may also influence on how their response on the online gambling sites again. Probably it will be different from the previous one.

In most countries, governments will have no other choice but to raise taxes. They will have to be smart to avoid killing the economy, but they will need to bring more money to balance their budget (or more likely to reduce their operating deficit).
I still didn't read the information from any media (television, newspapers, or an article) stated that will be higher taxes in my country. I don't think it is a good idea by rising taxes after many people lost their jobs because of the Covid-19 outbreak. How they can pay for higher taxes while they even have no jobs? Only a government with no heart that applies this way, then surely will be a massive demonstration by the citizen.
4966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have control or not? on: May 03, 2020, 11:49:10 PM
I agree with you guys that a reasonable person can limit themselves to the amount of money they want to spend on gambling. However, not all people are able to remain calm when they get into the excitement. Some will think that they are able to win back and will make new bets losing more and more.
Basically, everyone is a reasonable person but some may be hard to control their emotions because of habits. The only way to control emotion is to practice handling it and aware that you must control it for your future. Even if it is not an easy thing but why don't to try! It is the same as you have a dream to success, you won't reach it if you don't do hard efforts. Regarding trying again after winning, every gambler should know that no guarantee to win more instead higher risk of losses again.
4967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's break our boundaries with Bitcoin on: May 03, 2020, 11:38:29 PM
We need not necessarily clean every road we see, things we handle, or sanitize everything that we have. But to consider money as a means of transaction is quite dangerous day by day.
That is right, one of the easiest media to transmit this virus is money. We don't know who the money is from and whether it passes through healthy people or is exposed to corona. Personally, I decrease the activity of using money as a means of transactions. Using digital money is better. Moreover when it can use the crypto, much better, but in my country, crypto is still illegal for the payment transactions.

There are some advantages that we could tell them regarding bitcoin being alternative to cash:
You have listed the advantages of Bitcoin compared to cash. It is actually clear enough. Bitcoin will help us better if it can be legalized as one of the payment methods. However, in some countries, it is restricted and illegal. The Bitcoin may be more and more famous because of this pandemic, however, about using it for means of payment, it will limit only in some countries.
However, hopefully, this pandemic can open the country to be away from such boundaries.
4968  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does marketcap value shows the coin price stability? on: May 03, 2020, 11:25:37 PM
In crypto info websites, a crypto's marketcap value is an aggregated amount taken from various exchanges. ..
Do you mean such as CMC or CoinGecko? Those two or others are only the tracker sites where the traders, investors, and people can track certain coins to be one of their considerations. They offer information about coins, exchange, volume, prices, and also the charts. However, we cannot believe in them at 100% especially on the exchanges listed because yeah, there may be some price manipulation or fake volume.

But for the price stability? Well, they just offer the data, you may be able to use it to track the stability or chart of a certain coin. However, it doesn't offer how the stability of the coins.
4969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Netflix EUR now supports Polis on: May 03, 2020, 11:14:54 PM
You can now pay for your Netflix subscription with crypto using the PolisPay app! The best part is you can pay with 10+ coins!
Is it really working on?

is there an article reference or explanation?.. snip..
From the website that I read, the PolisPay app is available to buy some gift cards on some merchants, such as Netflix and Amazon, but use the application.
But I don't know whether the coin is available to buy there or not, or only using the application to buy the gift cards.
https://polispay.com/gift-cards

There is also an article explaining that they launch PolisPay vouchers for real-world use cases.  
https://medium.com/polisblockchain/polispay-vouchers-use-your-polis-on-real-world-goods-and-services-f54f0a7eb62e

#But for how the future of the coin, personally, I can tell because this is an altcoin that is still in 356 ranks of CMC and has a small volume.
And personally, I do not believe in the new coin that much.
But if it is real, good luck.

Otherwise, you can delete this thread and just make your post in the official FortuneJack thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774929.0
Agree, why don't he just make a reply or comment on FortuneJack thread? As it is the problem in FortuneJack platform, he must contact FortuneJack team and let them know about the problem. FortuneJack team must know better than us, they also can directly check it once they get the information. Anyway, in fortunejack.com, there are some options to contact them. Have you tried it OP, @rastha?

4971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming and Mobile Sport Betting May Be Legal After Covid-19 End??? on: May 03, 2020, 10:31:34 PM
If you are in crypto then I do not think anything can stop to gamble online which means legal and illegal does not matter much 🤪
Of course, if it is available with the crypto. Gamblers will play as they want every time without thinking of legal or illegal. but, if it is legalized, they will be easier and more opened to play, choosing the gambling sites as they want without strict regulation, moreover gambling sites that are not related to crypto use.

Everything about cryptocurrency isn't illegal in my country and sports betting isn't prohibited in the country.
Happy to know those, mate. Every country has their own rule and regulation that may be influenced by many conditions.
You're right. online gaming and gambling may become one of the ways that can help us avoid the covid-19. And this may become one of the points to consider for the future, when some virus or condition probably will happen again and we must concern on online activities only.

For all responses, I believe that every country will decide their best decision based on the condition and society in the country. Covid-19 may give the big influence to the gamblers and the industry. And as long as it is profitable and safe for the gamblers and industry, why not? Probably it needs to think about the regulation, and taxes probably?
4972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: if bitcoin can no longer be mined on: May 03, 2020, 10:11:34 PM
I think that you have got many answers from the other members here, better to use the search feature in order to get early information about whatever here in this forum.

In every article it is mentioned that bitcoin is only 21Million BTC to be mined.
Yeah, it Is only 21M  BTC. There will be no additional supply, it has been fixed that BTC is limited. However, never worry about it when you are going to mine. The last BTC to be mined maybe next 100 and more years. And at that time, we all here right now may be no longer live. So, better to focus on what we are doing right now in the crypto world.

Are miners going to mine alt?
We do not have any idea about it because it will happen in next hundred years probably. So, we do not know whether this crypto will still last longer or not. Or even what kind of altcoins will be there.


4973  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: From year 2099 till 2140 only one bitcoin will be mined... on: May 03, 2020, 09:59:10 PM
From 2099 till 2140 (when the last satoshis will be mined) there will only be one bitcoin mined.
And in that year, I was already in the ground, whether the earth is still there or not.  Grin Grin

By the way, with the last coin to mine, with the limited supply only, what will be the price? Of course it will increase up highly, however, what's about the value? Well, this is too far to think because we also don't know whether it will still last or not.

No one could predict exactly what will happen after 120 years. But you can imagine where bitcoin price was 10 years back, and now imagine where it could go after 120 years.
Well, it may be 12 times higher than the highest increase so far, probably. Or on the contrary, it may have no value because the technology has changed. It is so difficult to predict those very long time later.

I wonder how all miners in the world online mine the last BTC, will it influence the mining tools? What will happen to the mining equipment? Or, there may be other ways in how Bitcoin will be used or utilized in the real use case.
4974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Online Gaming and Mobile Sport Betting May Be Legal After Covid-19 End??? on: May 03, 2020, 02:49:05 PM
Covid-19 has a large impact on almost all sectors of life, including the gambling world. As we know, when countries do lockdowns, they also close various casinos and sports betting immediately. This is intended to minimize the Covid-19 contagion chain.

The closure, this becomes a nightmare. They are a dilemma. This is detrimental to the gaming or gambling industry, players, gamblers, and also the societies that get income from those. However, on the other hand, they also risk their health and even their lives if they still go to casino or sports betting. For this reason, online gambling and sports betting become ways to make deal with these.

Several executives and also consultants from the gaming industry also discussed in this regard, the possibility of the online gaming industry. One of them, John Pappas, also assumed the following:

Quote
"Pappas, the former executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, said he believes one good thing for the gaming industry that will come out of the coronavirus pandemic is the legal expansion of online gaming. He said industry leaders will need to educate lawmakers unfamiliar with legal internet gambling."

For information, so far, only several certain states that can access online casinos. Only around 3 states have legalized online casino and about 11 states authorize sports betting. As for online sports betting, only a few states allow the sportsbook online betting during the Coronavirus pandemic. While in other states, it may still be prohibited.

The questions:
1. What's about in your country? Are online gambling and sports betting legal?
2. Is there any possibility that this prediction will really occur, more and more countries are legalizing online gaming/gambling and mobile sports betting?
3. How is it related to online gambling that uses cryptocurrency as one of the transactions manners? Will there more and more sites offer online gambling like this?

Please feel free to share your ideas and opinion about this.

Crypto and mobile gaming.
Well, crypto has been reading to several sectors including gaming, but this is mole gaming. If the platform really has that many users, and crypto becomes one of the manners for transactions or something that is usable in that platform, why not? If it is real use case, probably the crypto will live well for the platform. However, if this is only as crypto that is not used for the payment, better not to make it.
However, the fact that the big aging platform will use crypto, it is interesting.
4976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Mayor Wants to Re-open Casinos. Thoughts? on: May 02, 2020, 11:11:06 PM
In this interview of Anderson Cooper to Las Vegas' mayor Carolyn Goodman, the head of the city insists that the Vegas should re-open the casinos and restaurants for the welfare of its people.
I thought, will he be responsible for what is likely to happen to his citizens or people there? Don't rule out the possibility that the reopening of casinos during the coronavirus pandemic was very risky? What if some of them were affected by the virus? It will be very risky with high transmission rates at those places.
How are his ways to encounter the spreading of the virus?
We know that everybody faces high difficulties in their financial systems during this pandemic. Their citizen may lose their earning and incomes highly so far. And some people may agree with his decision to reopen. But, think of the high risks. They may get the money up again, but they will probably die because of the virus.

If the persistence of the mayor proved to be worthwhile and the city reopens, would you, as a gambler, be willing to get inside one of the many casinos and play there?
If I were there, definitely I will not risk my life to come to the casinos. Better to play gambling on online sites. Now, there are so many online sites that offer worthy gambling. I will think to earn money and still live avoiding the coronavirus.
4977  Economy / Economics / Re: Anybody here trying to live bankless (using Bitcoin / cryptocurrencies)? on: May 02, 2020, 11:01:10 PM
I am currently investigating possibilities to replace the classic bank account by a set of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency tools, ..
This is actually a quite difficult thing to do, especially in some countries that have not legalized or accepted cryptocurrency as a means of payment.
Personally, for now, I do not have any idea to move to bankless. I still need my bank account, as for some conditions.

...I see great potential in a crypto-based, decentralized banking solution. The biggest obstacle is currently volatility
Unfortunately, it is not fully because of the volatility, but the regulation. Well, yeah, but indeed I live in a country that only legalizes crypto as a digital asset. Meanwhile, as a means of payment, it is still not allowed. Of course, this is very influential in the use of crypto (especially Bitcoin) in this country. Fiat is still a major and central manner of payments. Our central bank also still does not regulate the crypto as a currency. The regulation is that we can buy and trade or make it as an investment, but for payment, not yet.

What's more, our government also hasn't seen how big the future of Bitcoin in this country. Actually it is unfortunate, however, looking at how the regulation is and how the general condition of the people in our country is indeed reasonable.

For the future expectation, of course, I really expect that crypto (mainly Bitcoin) is accepted as one of the legal currencies in my country, at least, there are many commerces that accept this coin as one of the payment manners. However, of course, it is also back again to government regulation. But, I really don't know when it will be.  Grin

Apakah ada informasi setelah perubahan konsensus Proof of Work ke Proof of Stake pada Ethereum 2.0 jumlah maksimum supply akan di tetapkan untuk selanjutnya ?
Ada kemungkinan adanya tambahan 20 juta ETH pada launching Ethereum 2.0 di 2021 nanti. Perlu diketahui bahwa ada lebih dari 35 juta ETH ditambahkan dalam kurun waktu 3 tahun belakangan ini. Total saat ini ada sekitar 110,752,808 ETH (data CMC), tapi ini ada kemungkinan bertambah ketika launching Ethereum 2.0 seperti yang saya jelaskan di awal tadi. Untuk lebih lengkapnya, silahkan baca informasi pada data di bawah ini.

NO, I wouldn't do it. I'm not sure Bitcoin can be stronger as now if we haven't those altcoins.
Do you think altcoins haven't an important role in crypto space? It has, altcoins make more parties have the responsibility to keep crypto space.
I can't imagine if there are no altcoins, how can Bitcoin survive alone with too many bad issues and bans from governments around the world.
I am not trying to say Bitcoin cannot survive without altcoins, but altcoins has positive impacts on the existence of Bitcoin.

It is too early to talk about this. First we need to overcome the coronavirus and see what state the world economy will be in.
NO, not too early. Viewing what's happening in the future from the beginning, will make us have enough time to plan everything well. We need some strategy to anticipate the worse things to happen. But remember to consider current or valid data related to the economic situation and prediction in the near future.

Handling the coronavirus firstly is a must, how we can plan for the upcoming economy if it still lasts. If we look at South Korea, this country can overcome Covid-19 quickly. I think other countries will follow it. They must learn many things from the countries that can handle Covid-19 well. At least, we have China and South Korea.
