501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is technology really important for investment decisions? on: February 08, 2024, 01:47:25 PM
Are you entering the crypto market to pursue technology or profit?
Both.

But not all projects deal with good technology because there are times that it's not about it but how profitable they are. And many are going to agree with that as majority here are not really for the tech but for the money.

For you, is the project's technology important to the investment decision?
It is.

Because that's the reason why that project was made and without such, what are you going to look at for that project if they don't have the technology? Unless they've got their own community already and whatever the devs throw to their people, it doesn't matter to them.
502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Selling a property to play gamble on: February 08, 2024, 11:43:34 AM
Have you ever sold a property to play gamble and afterwards finds it difficult to replace that same property again?
I am not that addicted at all and if I ever be, I'll never attempt to sell my property just to fund my addiction.

A property that came from hard work and especially if that's your first ever acquired property, there's sentimental value on it. Someone who has decided to sell his property because he no longer has any money left to gamble must be stopped.

At this time, housing rates are way terribly high and that's not a good idea to sell your properties just to sustain your addiction. What's next after selling it? You'll have hard time acquiring it back because there's already the interest and what if the buyer don't want it back to you?
503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever introduced an elder gambler to online betting? on: February 08, 2024, 09:01:27 AM
I don't have any interaction with an elder to introduce him/her to online gambling. But I understand your grandmother because they like the old style and I agree with her that interaction with physical slots and having some other gamblers beside you is still different.

Also, these type of gamblers have been used to the environment that they've been with gambling and it may not be new to them about gambling online and that's why they prefer to do it physically.

Maybe, sometime in the future that her mind will change and will start to like it because she's old already and can't go to places and it's easier to gamble online.
504  Economy / Economics / Re: "Shrinkflation" is coming back as a narrative on: February 08, 2024, 07:41:03 AM
Because the economic situation in some regions of the world continue to worsen, politicians are using newly invented economic terms like "Shrinkflation" to to blame the companies as being too greedy, and to "rationalize" the effects of printing too much money and having too much debt - that the government may never repay.
It's always a blame game when they're incompetent and will point out any entity that they can. They can do something about it with their policies and jobs but instead, they make it look like it's uncontrollable which is like half of it is true.

If they've got a better version of themselves and compassion to their people, they're not going to just look at their pockets with these hardships of the economies does. They'd always resort to printing money and blaming any global factors that can't be control.

I believe as Bitcoin HODLers, we should welcome more money-printing because Bitcoin will absorb some of that excess liquidity, and make the price surge. But it should also make us more distrustful of the policy makers because they know there's no "Shrinkflation", only inflation and the negative effects of money-printing.
While the printing of money will definitely have positive effect to Bitcoin's value and volatility. I don't like another series of printing because we're the one to suffer with the effect of it.

Yes, we get to have more value with the Bitcoins that we hold but in general, everything is going to be up as this inflation is inevitable whenever these scenes come again.
505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashless Socity and Contribution of Bitcoin! on: February 07, 2024, 11:39:27 PM
Bitcoin becomes the primary medium of exchange replacing physical cash entirely. Several obstacles would need to be overcome for this to happen such as Bitcoin would need widespread adoption as a means of payment.
Not for now nor in the future.

It's good as an alternative but if it's about replacing cash entirely, we don't know how it is going to take or it won't take anything for it to happen. We're too optimistic about that and I am one for it but we have to realize that the system of most governments are not in favor of Bitcoin.

Even let's say most of them makes BTC a legal tender, it won't still replace physical cash. It's nice as a medium of exchange but many will still not in favor of it just as the government of El Salvador does.

We can take it as an example although we're in favor of it being in the mainstream as a payment because that's how it should be.
506  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto investment vs real estate investment : Which one more dependable? on: February 07, 2024, 10:29:59 PM
If I am already at the last chapter of my life, I'd sure go with real estate investment but what's the good thing about owning crypto or specifically Bitcoin is that it can't be denied that it's also a good inheritance.

The greater part of having Bitcoin or any crypto investments is that you can pay and buy it and own it with small amounts. While for the real estate, it's no brainer that it will require you lots of money for DP and monthly.

But the significance of it is that, real estates are there and you'd surely see how it appreciates over the period of time. The modern investors are into digital worlds but it's still nice to have traditional assets like properties.
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: February 07, 2024, 09:14:26 PM
So, I am confused after asking myself this question and answering it, does this mean a poor gambler should continue to play it safe in gambling?
When someone gambles, the risk is there and it doesn't change whether he's poor or rich. And as advised by many that every gambler should contain themselves and control whenever they gamble. The amount that they're going to gamble is vital for their status because we've seen various stories that they've gambled with their life savings, with other's money and sold a lot of important things just to gamble.

With no risk, how can a poor gambler change their fortune in gambling?
Everything has a risk and doing this I think that the best option that has really no risk at all is to work for a casino or be an affiliate of it. You just advertise it and market them and you'd receive commissions for every referral or deposits your affiliates do.

What people must think of to change their fortune is to work smart and hard with the talents that they have. But if you think that your talent is in gambling, I can't change that.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 07, 2024, 08:12:44 PM
We should not make gambling as a tool to get rich or become successful because most likely it won't happen unless you are lucky enough to hit something big on it.
If there are gamblers that happen to become successful with gambling all of a sudden, that's okay and if they're expecting that but it did happen. That's cool.

But I agree to you that it shouldn't be thought that someone's going to be successful with that. I know that many of us really want to be successful with our bets and as we gamble, using it as a way to pay off your debt. You can do better than that.

That is why it is highly recommended to gamble with just extra money so we won't end up losing our hard earned money and our savigs or investments.
It's okay to allocate some funds too from your salary as long as it is not gonna hurt your pocket.
509  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why having access to many top crypto trader signals / info / TA is good! on: February 07, 2024, 04:29:47 AM
I get it that having access to many crypto top traders worldwide is an advantage. But if there's something that makes us wanna think is that, while you have premium access to these signals and information is that you will have to enjoy taking profits with them.

If I've got this vital information and it's proven, then I wouldn't be sharing that and will keep it to myself until I think that I'm done with that. There's no problem if you guys sell it or not because no one can stop these markets and products.

But if they're proven and tested and you're taken wrong by the majority here, prove everyone wrong and make yourselves wealthy through it.

that is my take here, if someone is truly making money out of their strategies, then why would they share it to others? 
See?

If someone who has found and invented all of these strategies and they truly are effective, they should make of it first than the others. I know that some might say that they're just sharing their blessings to everyone, I doubt it that it is like that.

because if their technique is indeed working, i would say keep it to themselves and rake profits as much as they can.
Yeah, I know right.

When it's come to these strategies and effectively working to make money like being on a signal, you would only be selfish to yourself not unless you're making money from subscriptions.  Smiley

511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: February 06, 2024, 10:19:10 PM
Let us not think about the possibility of winning millions just because some kid out there tried to gamble. Let's stick to the reality that it's not going to happen to any kid out there. Although I have seen some rare situations like this and IIRC, it was also posted here.

But then, stick to the reality.

Those parents that have been working hard for them to give their children good future and then they'll find out that they've been stealing them money to gamble is really frustrated on their end.

I won't question any type of disciplinary actions that they're going to do since it is their money and their kid to teach.
512  Economy / Economics / Re: Opportunities During Economic Downturns? on: February 06, 2024, 09:03:11 PM
Are there any potential benefits that can arise from inflation, recession, or economic downturns? As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. We see an example when people in a country are  faced with very imports duty that individuals there become inspired to establish local businesses and initiate domestic production and start consuming locally as an alternative to imported goods. While this approach might prove successful in certain countries, others may encounter obstacles such as high operating costs and countless taxes on startups. This is a challenge that discourages local production. Despite these challenges, do you think there are still opportunities during economic downturns?
Yes, I do believe that there is still potential during economic downturns. You know as a normal thing for most of the human being, we're here to survive and we do whatever it takes to survive.

Just take the example of people that are living in hyper inflation countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela. If people there don't see the opportunity, they won't survive.

That's why they do whatever it takes to survive but some of their family members have been leaving the country to work abroad. But locally, there are for sure opportunities that can be seen but if ever someone sees it, it may be the other people that takes it.

Because many don't like executions and they just think outside the box but don't do it.
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 06, 2024, 07:56:26 PM
If you combine greediness and over confidence, this can result in a gambler taking a loan just to gamble. We're always seeing that type of gambler and that's not a good idea to see someone have these characters being combined. It's a mistake that keeps on repeatedly done and many don't notice it to themselves.

And that is because they don't want to see themselves being suggested to do what's necessary. Only for them to act on it naturally, what they like to do is to be greedy when the time comes and they don't want to take tips because they're overconfident.

For that reason, it doesn't makes sense to them to absorb those suggestions because they think that they don't need it and they're good enough.
514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Supported by Larry Fink - big opportunity for Avalanche? on: February 06, 2024, 02:15:36 AM
Don't get into these personalities just because you've seen or read some articles that say they're supporting it. Every personality can be bullish with whatever they say.
Bro, do you know who Larry Fink is?
Larry Fink is CEO of Black Rock.

You can do your research here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Fink
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackRock

The ten trillion dollar man: how Larry Fink became king of Wall Street
Facts to Know About BlackRock, the World's Largest Asset Manager
I understand and I know him bro.

What I am saying is that with project choices, you have not to go with what they say at all times. You need to make your own research and even if it's Larry, Elon, Saylor or whoever they are. Don't always agree with what they say without doing your own thing.

And that is to make a research, I'm just giving an example although AVAX is one of the top coins out there. I am happy to see him go with Bitcoin and does his company's purchase but that doesn't mean I rely my decision on these personalities.

Well, it's a different with Bitcoin so whether they are there or none, it's still going to thrive.

His opinion matters, he's managing tons of money.
Uh yeah, I agree but your decision matters too if you'll be dependent on his opinion or with the others. But that's fine, if that's the way how people invest nowadays.

Don't get into these personalities just because you've seen or read some articles that say they're supporting it. Every personality can be bullish with whatever they say.

They are supporters or just want to try out their influence in the market if they're going to be heard by its communities. But if this is the basis of someone's investing style, it's better that you learn from yourself than rely on them.

I mean it's fine to go with the crowd if you think that you'll be profitable but don't go to them til' the end because you might regret if you'd be die hard just because of them.
516  Economy / Economics / Re: Leadership and Economics on: February 05, 2024, 08:52:36 PM
A good leader not only make the economic thrive but also will make the economic condition fair to everyone, and give the same chance and opportunity for everyone especially people who are not in fortune. And the goal is to make the economic gap between the richest and the less rich getting closer. 
I agree.

There is fairness in all sector that the leader sets for the country's economy to keep on moving forward and thrive. Because with global competition being tough, it's best to just focus on the goal of the country and on how to increase the benefits to everyone's livelihood.

The open opportunities that are given to citizens with fairness is also a big thing. This makes a lot of foreign investments to come in to them because they're seeing the light from the policies that a current administration is working on.

In the current international news, news continues to emerge about many countries competing with each other to get foreign investors into their countries because when foreign investment funds come in, the opportunity to create jobs is greater, just imagine how many people are currently unemployed, even employers have set an age limit for applicants.
That's true and that's why those countries that have a lot of foreign investors and taking in and welcoming many companies from off shore are the ones helping their citizens because they're creating more jobs and source of income not just for their people but for the country.

Those isolated countries or those that have a difficult laws about welcoming partnerships and foreign investors, they're being avoided by those companies. Also, the cost of operations is being considered by many of them. So, the cheaper the labor is, that's where the companies are going in.

Becoming a great state leader is difficult because we have to be able to choose the best decision from the best proposal or idea and it's not an easy decision, the stake is trust.
Don't worry, we don't have to think about it as that's not for us.  Cheesy
517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: February 05, 2024, 06:49:26 PM
I often run out of funds due to gambling that is too blind in terms of placing $$ on every bet I make and ends up losing. I do multi-bets and single-bets, every time I win, sometimes I forget myself and use all my $$ on the next bet. This sometimes gives me big wins, but if I'm unlucky I can lose all my funds and this has happened many times.
This don't just happen to you but to most of the gamblers. When you guys have won big already, don't forget yourself and secure some profits or the actual bankroll that you've started with.

I started to realize and change my habits. Now I use $$ from the profits from the previous bet to place the next bet and save my initial capital.
Great, this is what I am saying that everytime you win. Save the capital or set aside the profit.

What do you think, is this good and can help me overcome losses that will occur so that $$ remains safe and can be used in future betting? Are there other unique ways that you can use to grow your money in gambling? feel free to comment. Thanks
Yes, it's a good one. But to overcome your losses, you need to be consistent on this. We're gamblers and we know that most of the days, we're not winners so just retrieve in saving every time you win.

519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: February 05, 2024, 09:11:09 AM
sometimes I am influenced by the number of bets he makes and the winnings he gets, but I am reluctant to try it, I still maintain and control myself to stay within safe limits in gambling, I am influenced but I don't want to imitate him, I believe that it will make the situation worse in my life, if I am tempted to gamble in the hope of winning, I often read from people here how sad they are who are abandoned because of gambling, that's what I'm afraid of.
Just keep controlling yourself and be as is. Because if you're too influenced by the other people and you see their bets, just watch them win or lose and don't be like them when the amounts are too high.

As you've said, be safe at all times and gamble only with what you can afford to lose. It is your money that's going to determine your emotion later on as you gamble.

Choose your hard battle with its either emotional or financial but both can be controlled based on how you take things.
If you are someone who do really get easily influenced by external factors which it isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things in life as well
then you are really just that basically that putting up yourself into tons of possible troubles or things on which we know that it wont really be something ideal.
You cant really just that make yourself that easily copy or making yourself that affected on someones doing because if you do then you would really be tending
to mimic out on which the worst you would really be even copying the amount on which on the time that you do have this kind of behavior then you
would really be ending up on having those devastated outcomes.
If it's outside of gambling and they're good factors and you're also affected by that trying to imitate them, I guess that we can tell that it's a good influence when someone you look up to gives that kind of influence.

But if it's with gambling and you're just copying everything that someone does, you have to do better and don't do that at most times because I agree that it might put you into more troubles.
520  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: No one has gone broke taking profits, always take profits. on: February 05, 2024, 07:09:50 AM
Imagine if someone followed this strategy in 2011, they kept cashing out their profits instead of holding then they will surely regret their decision now.
That's okay.

Because we've been doing that and if no one will take profit, how can you enjoy it? Also, those that have taken profits long time ago, I am sure that it has been put into good use so there's no regret. And no one has an idea on how the market will be way back that time.

Taking profits is good but you also should concentrate on building your portfolio especially accumulation of Bitcoin to enjoy the benefits in long term.
If it's Bitcoin, I am with you mate. It's needed to be done by those who are looking long term on holding Bitcoin. We're all for holding but when the time comes that it's enough to take profits, you have to make your decisions.
