501  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beware and stay away from ONYX XCN on: March 02, 2024, 11:35:41 PM
Hi Guys

I have lost access to all my XCN tokens. i have provided liquidity in their website and the claimed that they were hacked in November 2023 and their website was taken down. They promised to reimbursed people but its been 3 months and they still have not returned anything to existing users. They have launched V2 version if their website and sucking more and more people in, I suggest you stay awa from these scammers. Look at community forums people complaining about lost funds.

  
We have alot of such projects who claims to be hacked and promised reebusrmemt to investors but at the end it will end up in just empty promises, this is why altcoins investment is a high risk one because there will be possibility that you lose some of all your money and what you will be left with we just be promised from the team.

But then if you put that Money in bitcoin, by now at least you should be in profits already since you mentioned that you started your investment since November.

I recorded a few loses  with altcoins sometimes ago and since then, I learnty lesson never to put hopes in any altcoins regardless what promises of high returns, I rather stay with the stability and secure asset's instead of chasing such empty promised high profits return on those shitcoins

I think what we need is value, because alot of time many investors don't even know the value of the money when their financially make that profits they desires, because majority of them will waste the money in buying liability instead of acquiring more assets, so the question is not wether savings is good or bad, but it matter of where and how we save

Take bitcoin as you mentioned for example, anyone who holds bitcoin is saving their money and at the same time being involved in investment and that way, what the individual does with that funds is what becomes most important, but also savings in asset is what is worth the stress, aside that, keeping your money on the bank as saving is the dumbest thing anyone can do at this era and time that alot have changed.

The thing is that, priorities differs, what means alot to youay not likely mean anything to the other man and for that we may not really understand what make that musician to make such decisions, public smoking may have been pointed out and if we have to go by that, then weay have to ask what are the values of that money to the musician compared to what he is ready to offer just to get his weeds.

Some of those musicians believes that without those Highness and drugs they can't rank up to the level of stardom they attained in the industry, and for that theyay want to have the freedom to abuse the durg regardless of what will be at stake finance may just be the less of the worries compared to what they believe that can acquire just being free to do whatever pleasure they desires.

So we have to be less judgemental on this matter, and try to understand things from they own point of view even though ot not possible for us to know whay they experience and expectations are, i have read alot about musicians turning down offers because it condtion goes against the personal believe and habits.
504  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who plays bigger role in crypto adoption: General public or government ? on: March 02, 2024, 07:53:26 PM
People play big role in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies adoption. The people that I am talking about are the retail and institutional investors. What role does the government play than to look for ways to generate money from crypto taxes? What I can say is that the government has no role to play in crypto adoption than to use regulations to hinder it.
Government have a role to play in bitcoin adoption, aside from the taxes and other regulations that their put out, the only problem with governmentsnof many countries is that, their have a misplaced priority when it comes to their interactions with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in such a way that their have failed to identify their major primary role as government to act as vehicle to safeguard the interest of all and also help to fight crimes that could possibly come from bitcoin usage within the country.

We can't do without regulations as long as bitcoin co-exist with other financial and economic tools in the same market environments, at least cryptocurrency services providers such as vendors and exchanges (centralised) need regulations to build a better secured ecosystem for all players in the industry.
505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You See Losing Your Weekly Payment to The Casino on: March 02, 2024, 07:25:56 PM
To me losing money is losing money, I don't justify it by saying I support the casino or that it was easy money (easy come easy go). To me every loss is significant since I value money and I know how hard it is to earn it sometimes. I'm not depressed though, because it's not an involuntary loss. I choose to bet and I understand the consequences, but I'm not going to sugarcoat it by saying that I did it to support the casino. I did it because I lost and I would not support the casino if I had a choice. In case of signature campaigns, wearing the sig and avatar is support enough. I'm not going to give them money, unles I lose it in a "fight."
Totally agree and I believe it's only someone who does not the value of money would think this, because if you are well aware of the struggles and know the value of money then you would know that losing is losing and there is no two ways to justify a losing as a good course especially when it comes to gambling. I have a friend who always says the so far as the money he lost he won it first from gambling then it's justify as he class it as the casinos money.
Well let us not deviate or try to read another meaning to what I stated here about loosing the earned money on the same casinos as being a form of support, and I use such term's just to convey how I feel to lose my earnings as way of making a conclusive statement.

Just like as we say that lost bitcoin, is a donations to every other bitcoin holders, as said by satoshi, it a sarcastic statement to convey a point, but not mean that the lost Money is not worked for or the person doesn't know the value of money that is why he gamble with it t and lost it hope you get the point now.

Apologies to Hhampuz, for draining this thread with off topic reply
My fellow participants, please you people should help me and pray for me, I have been sick for a week and , so have been taking drugs but the situation is getting worst, I have run different test and it's showing typhoid and malaria, but prescribed drugs by doctors is not acting the way I expected, please everyone pray for me.
It will be ok with you, but I advice that if the medication is effective you can suggest another way of treating the illness, like most in my environment don't only take medicine 💉 alone when the case is of malaria and Typhoid, because medicine/drugs alon can't cure it at some level.

I suggest although not medical advice.
Take medicine, injections and drips that way it clears off everything thing, this have helped alot.
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing at gambling on: March 02, 2024, 06:23:21 PM
When everything's going well, it's cool. But sometimes (often?) money problems lead to divorce. Suppose your spouse/husband gambles a lot, his or her loss/profit ratio is acceptable (so it's fine), but then one day he or she has bet it all and lost it all. You've got nothing left (and no savings either). What's your reaction? Has this ever happened to you?
If he has won sometimes, it then means he can lose at other sometimes too, so it not a one way cycle because once you win, twice you lose when it comes to gambling.

When there will be a problem is when the spouse hides what he is doing from me and took me by surprise to know that he won all the money from gambling previously and still lose all to gambling without me knowing what truly he is engaged in, but if I am in the know that my spouse gamble and i accept that, it means we should be willing to take whatever outcome for come along the way.
508  Economy / Gambling / Re: tell me the best online casino on: March 02, 2024, 05:48:32 PM
Edited out

I think that with many people where they gamble, their big goal is to make a profit, so when they get a big win, what they think about is most likely just a smooth withdrawal process, because of course the winnings that have been obtained and withdrawn are what they want to get immediately. process by the casino, so some people don't think about other things such as a busy network or something else, because of course when the winnings they withdraw won't be immediate, there will definitely be a pending process which allows the withdrawal to be postponed. and at that time maybe the gambler who won was impatient with the winnings he was drawing. It's true what you said, it's possible that casinos can provide easy withdrawals, but they still have other aspects or features that are withdrawal requirements.


You are very right with this that the major concern of most gambler's who take gambling as ways of making profits will only look at the ability of the casinos to be able to make out their payments when they win big amount as the major feature that attracts them to the casino and if their going to take a read though some casinos terms and conditions or reviews they make sure to see how best the casino treats their player's who have won big amount in bets on the casino before.

So I am sure not only you but even me will take widrawal seriously but it doesn't just end at having good withdrawal features alone it caught accros other aspects that Many will take note of before their can say a casino is best among others in this highly competitive gambling market.
509  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: March 02, 2024, 04:41:35 PM
I am curious to know who are their targeted audience and at what age group. In general gambling people target countries like thailand more but probably this is not the case with crypto. Do they target nerds or total dumbs? How efficient they are between their marketing tactics?

I guess you’re from Thailand as personally I think the issue with gambling cuts across the globe and not just Thailand as you thought and I really don’t know for sure if there is any specific way casinos market themselves because I think all of them are doing what’s best for them as well as what is working for them but I think if it’s a cryptocurrency casino, then the audience should be crypto enthusiasts who are already familiar with the market and gambling as well.
Google adds is also one place this adverts are done and a forum and community wouldn’t be over looked while talking about crypto and anything crypto related as it already has a lot of attention needed to grow any crypto project.
Asides the efforts by casinos to use various methods of marketing to increase the overall visibility, there are other ways that the casino can still build a good visibility but it may be a long term approach this approach seems to be unpopular among casinos and only the highly determined ones employed such approach in promotion.

This approach is known as reputation building, and f you take a close look at some of the casino that have high reputation in the market today, you will discover that their all attain such rank by steadily building they reputations and at the end those that their served end up recommending them to others.
510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decentralized vs Centralized Gambling....Which do you prefer? on: March 01, 2024, 11:16:41 PM
I have used decentralized casino Dapp several times and for that, I can say that I still prefer the centralized casinos that we have around and are used to at all times, and switching to the decentralized casino can only offer us one advantage which is just privacy but aside from that,  the decentralized gambling is a new tool that has not yet enjoyed high patronage from the gambling community a d that is due to its complexity and other factors that come along with the usage of Dapp.

So for sure many of us will still prefer the centralized gambling platforms vs decentralized ones per se just like many will choose centralized exchange as against decentralized exchange due to factors like low volumes and other features that are lacking in the decentralized service.
511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 01, 2024, 11:07:46 PM


It will be very boring ASF. Both Manchester City and Liverpool have dominated the Premier League in that last five to six years, I'd love to see another club taking that number one spot and it'll be super great if it'll be a club like Arsenal.
I'm happy with the progress they're making in the Premier League Competition but not in the Champions League Competition, they cannot go very far in this Competition.

But then, Liverpool winning wouldn't be well taken by Manchester United fans because they're arch rivals with em. Manchester City Pep Guardiola would want to boast about winning four league Competitions inna row. Would that happen?
Well between Liverpool and Manchester City,  at least Liverpool winning the league will sit bring in more fun than having Manchester City retain the title again in this,  and even though both clubs dominated the league for so long, Man City's dominance is still higher than that of Liverpool considering how Liverpool have suffered in the few previous season just to come close to the top 5.

But then Asernal may have been more deserving and more interesting to see carrying the title for the season,  but considering their current position,  and performance, they are far from achieving that in this season and may be in the next season when Asernal may have taken a good ground for the beginning of the leagues.
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mom won 50,000$ in Lottery on: March 01, 2024, 10:36:11 PM
Any gambler wants to win such money, but to everyone's regret it is not possible for everyone. There was a time when I bought weekly lottery tickets, but in the end I gave up this idea because I never managed to win even $5000. In addition, I realized that the lottery does not cause me any feelings except regret about the money spent. Slots or poker in this respect bring much more positive emotions, even if not always.
You are completely right, and I absolutely agree with you, I've played slot games, and as well played the lottery on several occasions, the only excitement in playing the lottery  (which may not even be excitement for people) is that it makes one anxious, hopeful for something, atleast, until the result is out, ones the result is out and you discover you did not win (which is mostly the result by the way), the feeling of disappointment arises, which also gives birth to regret and other emotional downturns.

But playing slot gives a different feeling, atleast, for the moment one is playing, he or she is excited because he or she is enjoying the game, that a gambler is disappointed and regretful after a slot session is possible only if the gambler doesn't know how to control him self, that is, he's losing and failed to stop when he or she should have, so as to curtail the loss.
Lottery can not even be categorized as a game,  bit just gamble in the sense that games are those activities that gives the players some form of excitement and entertainments,  aside from the possibility of winning,  while lottery on the other hand is all about the winning since from the time you pick the ticket or number,  you don't have any involvement in it again and all that you can do at that point is to just wait for the outcome and to see if you get lucky to have picked the lucky lottery number.,  without any form of excitement like what you have from casino games.

Bit one other advantage of a lottery is the fact that,  it winning have the ability to change your life for ever,  just like in the case of this woman who won such an amount that have the capacity to change one life forever,  unlike in casino games where you only win a portion of what you already lose in the process of playing,  unless you hit a jackpot and even at that it can amount to such staggering amount like in this woman case.
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 01, 2024, 10:24:38 PM
I'm curious how many people have such high expectations for Manchester City this season that everyone predicts they will win the league again.. My only motivation for supporting Manchester City is for them to work hard and defeat Liverpool in order to cut their lead and keep them from finishing first, and for Arsenal to have complete peace of mind in order to play so well.


I am one of those who doesn't want to see Manchester City win this season I'm tired of seeing their dominance and the league is not interesting if it is dominated by just one club I want to see new winners like Liverpool, it's just that currently Liverpool's position is not better because many players are injured. So far we cannot predict who will win the title because 3 teams have the same potential Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City.  Indeed, Manchester City seems to be the favourite but I'm sure Liverpool can recover quickly and keep fighting.
I would also love to see Liverpool ending this season as the title holder and for such to happen they have to place a strong resistance on Manchester City from coming from behind because as a defending champion,  their chance of winning from behind is high due to their premiere league experience.

But then we hope that the luck is on Liverpool's side for the season and they should be able to come up with the ending success just as they have positively dominated this season from the beginning.
514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com - unethical practices on limitting losing players on: March 01, 2024, 10:09:49 PM
Winning $20k after a long streak of losses should be a moment of celebration, not frustration. In the world of online gambling, loyalty doesn't always seem to be reciprocated.


The ops supposed to be celebrating by now and if there is anything to complain about it should be when he places a withdrawal order and he get denied,  and if that happens then we can call out the casino for violation of players' rights,  but in this case you where limited from placing bets which to me is for your own good,  because you already stated how you have lost significantly in the past and if you continue,  you may still lose all the 20k you won on bets.

But now that there is a limit on the account,  you can take that money and have a cool-off timing for a while and wait to get a response from the support when your restrictions have been lifted.
515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Previous ATH achieve before bull? on: March 01, 2024, 09:59:23 PM
The general cryptocurrency market have witnessed a surge lately,  and from what we have seen so far it is clear that we are beginning to move into the bull market area proper and at that we shouldn't make the mistake of not taking the right steps at the right time,  by holding the right coins and not to get tempted to exchange our coins due to constant uptrend change in price of most coins with Bitcoin taking the lead..

Although we have not recorded a new all time high since this current market trend started,  but we a re near that benchmark now and anything from this point we may break that record and set a new record of all time market before or after the next Bitcoin halving.
516  Economy / Gambling / Re: tell me the best online casino on: March 01, 2024, 08:59:31 PM
Agree into the fact that people would really be most likely be minding about on how smooth withdrawal could be and wont really be that matter much about other aspects such or in like with this.
It is really just that there are people who are really that liking on something but doesnt been like with others. Having no KYC, seamless withdrawal, good games offered then these are the solid
indication that you are really that dealing with a good platform. Best online casino? It is really that hard to determine since each on of us would really be having that different
likings on things or the things that we do really preferred. Some do like this and that and totally different to ours. This is why having tons of sites existing or having that good competition
does really bring out an advantage for us users or customers on which we do have tons of options that we could choose on.
Why should anyone take the withdrawal process alone to be the basis to rank a casino as favourable to play on and I'm for sure it evidence that we have other factors that contribute to what makes a casino to be the best or among the top-performing casinos by all standards because, at some point,  a casino may offer an easy withdrawal but will still have other features and aspects of the operations that are anti players.

We need to consider many things before we declare a casino to be the best,  and aside from withdrawal,  we have other aspects such as the ease of flexibility and how user-friendly the interface of the casino is and how they treat their players when issues arise during their time of play on that casino.

I already explained from the beginning that Betnomi is a scam project and does not pay big winners.
When people win, they suddenly cheated or defrauded. Sorsis chatwin is a scammer and every project he is involved in is scammed.
I am sure they are not going to pay the 100k that is still open balances from customers.

You are not saying anything new from what has been said here on this thread severally and even the current admin here has admitted to the fact that the former Betnomi is now under the control of some unknown guys who have stolen or lucked out all the users of betnomi which confirm the former betnomi as a scam and should be avoided.

What we are discussing right now isn't the refund process that this legit team put up to try to pay those who are affected by the action of the hackers and that if you are one of the victims you can reach out to the team by following the format of filing complaints.
518  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: BREAKING: Tinubu’s government slams $10 billion fine on Binance on: March 01, 2024, 02:52:24 PM
Now that FG has fine binance $10 billion for illegal transactions does it mean binance have been operating without license in Nigeria because I don't understand the illegal the federal government is talking about here, every user of binance undergoes KYC verification through Nigerian means of identification so I don't really know the reason the federal government termed their operations in Nigeria as illegal.
Exchange rate manipulation directly by Binance, which is not true. No having license in Nigeria but providing exchange services to Nigerians (although this is true). Also causing naira depreciation. These are the allegations.

Inasmuch as I know, Binance works in accordance with the exchange rate at the parallel market (aboki forex) so I don't see any exchange rate manipulations there, it's just so obvious that our government doesn't really want its citizens to have an escape root and a medium that would be free and fair to all but notwithstanding, I think that if they would continue to clampdown exchanges in this regard, then they should be prepared to make case with all the numerous exchanges because as soon as they block one exchange, its citizens will still move to the next available exchange, therefore their fight seems to be baseless because I'm yet to understand their motive for this unjust movement.
The government is out to get revenue and taxes from Binance,  and other exchanges operating within the Nigeris internet space with Nigerains users,  I don't see any reason why there should be any panic in all of this,  at the end of the day,  Binance has to pay the fine one way or the order and thereafter start paying taxes in Nigeria.

The government will not end this approach of taxation on cryptocurrency exchanges alone,  other sectors also will face the same similar thing,  such sectors like content creation and other social media engagements,  it's all about the tax,  and fines everywhere.
519  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: $26bn passed through Binance from... on: March 01, 2024, 02:44:42 PM
From my observation, cryptocurrency usage might hit another road block in Nigeria. Most users of binance will definitely switch to other app which is the sure thing. If that be the case, the Nigeria government will definitely go after all the exchanges, which implies the possiblity of bitcoins  to be prohibited for some time until their findings are concluded.




It will be hard to see a Bitcoin ban in Nigeria again because of the decentralized nature of Bitcoin,  be for now,  there are ways that trades takes place and the most popular is p2p which offers some form of privacy that complies with Bitcoin standard of privacy and non third-party ability,  so even if there be a second climb down on all exchanges it won't still end bitcoin transactions in Nigeria.

I think the government is trying to stabilize the naira and giving it a benchmark #1500 to $1 price which will help to give the naira some more stable level,  this could be a short-term solution and the government should be ready to develop a more effective long-lasting solution thos issue of naira crisis.
520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You See Losing Your Weekly Payment to The Casino on: March 01, 2024, 01:28:03 PM
How do you see losing your payment to the casino?

I just have a routine of gambling every last week of the month with my earnings, of course that amount is still helpful to my daily needs, those funds most likely gambling with a 50/50 chance of winning and which team I knew there higher odds and chance to win the game. With the e-sports match and on EPL games i saw already the teams dominating the game, recently I have a winning streak in a match-winner prediction. Even though you have a weekly earnings with your signature still being responsible with the funds is a must it's a good practice to save up yourself when you have nothing.
The last week of the month looks over fair time for me this is because I have used the weekly timing for my gambling where I set aside at least 20% of my total earnings for the week to gamble with,  and at that point for,  it's all about the winning and nothing more than that,  but in the last week,  I got carried away to the point that I existed all the week pay that I received.

But what made that week peculiar was that I lost all my bets for the day So I ended up losing.
