Profound but I'm telling you that people that are talking about mass adoption are long term bitcoin hodlers so they know what they're about when it comes to mass adoption and there's no way that someone's believable if they're not fully into it in the first place right? I wouldn't want a revolutionary talking about bitcoin or cryptocurrency being liberating against the oppressive financial institutions when they don't have any bitcoins in their name, that's hypocritical and goes to show where you really stand and what you are as a person.

That would be a scary thought but how would they know how to target the people that are hodling or as you say owning a bitcoin? Because I can't understand how they'll be able to do that when there's a pseudonymous feature that bitcoin offers and we can all just put all of our bitcoins back to a non-custodial wallet so as to prevent the potential subpoena to get the data from the exchanges which is unlikely especially with international exchanges. The thing that's going to happen though is that people are definitely going to stop talking about bitcoin or crypto openly so as not raise any suspicions that they own bitcoin but I think that the ones that would hide are those that have a really small amount of bitcoin, those that have a lot of bitcoin wouldn't probably mind paying.

It's a good sign in my opinion, the price going down means that it's giving us an opportunity to buy more and not think too much about all of this because at the end of the day, bitcoin will inevitably go back up and then go to the moon which it always does, I still don't get why people are so scared and panicky about bitcoin going down in prices when this has happened before and bitcoin reached an ATH.

Same as @Questat, I won't be giving away the exact amount but I'd give you the partial amount. The partial amount that I'm saying is around $220 and about $1 average per bet as I don't like to spend my bankroll as quickly as I like it to be, I want to enjoy watching the slots spin and give me those damn multipliers, I would say that I'm a bit aggressive with my way of betting because $1 is an average and that's already a large amount of money in my country's currency, could buy me a meal or something with that amount of bet.

It's sad but true, it's because we're progressing as a species and we have to continue expanding our technology that we're forgetting to have simple lives. We also as a species have stopped trying to live on survival mode most of the time so we got lazy and our brains go to weird places which ends up with us thinking of ways to reinvent stuff that was not needed in the first place. I totally agree that we will never be satisfied with how much bitcoin we need because the economy of the world and most countries are getting worse by the day and so the price of essential stuff is going to go up and so what we've been saving is almost always not enough, I don't think that we'll ever be like that forever though, we can always teach ourselves to be happy with what we've got and train ourselves to stop whenever we're to reach the limit.

The price of bitcoin is too big already and I don't think that we're ever going back to the P2P bitcoin because we just think that it's too precious. It's a sad thing that this happened to bitcoin but it's our fault this has come to this, we saw that value is going to be a thing and so we didn't stop trying to pump bitcoin so we can build our own wealth. I do hope that we will come back to P2P one but right now, I do think that bitcoin's price is just too high as I've said already.

That's a big step for the country and hopefully it's going to affect bitcoin a bit more significant than El Salvador, they've got more people to cater to and it's unlikely that they're won't mind not trying out bitcoin instead of Argentinian peso which is just going down in value everyday. Congratulations to the crypto community of Argentina, you're going to be the ones that's happy about this announcement of legalization.

It's profitable especially if you know where to look for when it comes to good odds, I don't use it but a friend of mine who bets on anything involving sports does it and from what I can see from him, I don't think that he's ever having problem with losses or money to bet which could be an implication or a conclusion that arbitrage betting works. I don't know why betting sites ban this kind of system though, is it because the other bet is placed on the other betting site? It still makes me wonder to this day how it's a frowned upon strategy because it's as legitimate as Martingale strategy.

You saying that they're conservative than most men means that they're less likely to gamble and that already answers your question, with them more conservative in your perspective, I do think that they're most likely playing more games because they're not risk takers that will suddenly bet something big. Did some Google search about this question and there's a study that says that it's relatively same for both genders, I don't know if you'd believe that though.

Here's the link to that article, check it out if it's of interest to anyone.

I'll just assume that you're replying to my reply and that you forgot to quote so I'll just make it short, there's no way that when someone says something on the Internet that they're that, it's likely not true. Unless you've got a resume or even a proof of your statement and expertise then that would mean that your claim is a valid one but you're in this forum where everyone is scrutinizing everyone that says who they are because we try our best to prevent fellow forum users from being scammed.

Not really, statistics have a margin of error to account for that kind of variables, because they know that they can't get all of the people to sign up in the data gathering and even if they do, it takes time. You haven't done a survey in your life so you think that it's impossible to do a statistics. There's no guarantee in the professional gamblers because they're not qualified to do that, they're not licensed therapist unless they really are, they're gamblers and it's actually wrong for them to even do some kind of therapeutics without the approval of the real doctors so there's no way that it's legitimate to do just that, also it's not a physician that deals with this kind of things, it's psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers.

I did spend less on casino during the holiday season but boy oh boy, I should've just spent more in casino because I've spent a whopping $700 for gifts, foods and other stuff related to the holiday, I don't regret spending those, the smile on their faces was a good compensation for that expenditure. Another good thing about the holiday season is that I've stopped gambling for a month! It's a bliss so that is why I can't really regret that spending spree, I'm fully renewed and will be able to gamble like a different person because of that 1 month detox. My advice to everyone, spend more time and money on other stuff if seasons like this are happening.

This is a suspicious post OP, are you sure there's no catch to all of this because it sure as hell is dodgy. Not to mention that you're going to probably give us a website to bet on that's going to be unknown to this forum, just drop the website here so everyone can check it out. What do you mean though that it's a sure match? Sure win or sure that the odds are going to be the same for all the matches?

Everyone around you that you have a familiarity will be affected, not just your relatives or loved ones and it can also be argued that not all relatives because it's not like you know every relatives you have right? I also don't think that even if you gamble responsibly, it's still going to affect them and there's no way that gambling will ever make a positive impact in a lot of gamblers and their families. The problem isn't that you're not self-aware, the problem is that gambling is a pleasure giver and there's no way around it but to continue until you decide to change for the better and most of the time, the excuse that we're only human is widely used to make it so that we didn't have the full responsibility for our problem or addiction. It's not a complicated thing to say that gambling can affect your family or your relatives, what's complex is the fact that the mind of people that's gambling, why still play when you know that you're more likely to lose than to win?

Gambler's fallacy, that's the answer to that question that you might be asking why they believe that they're getting closer to winning as they continue gambling. It's when they think that there's a pattern to all of this gambling games that they play when in reality it's either fairly random or rigged from the start so they don't have any chances of winning, it's not a weird alibi though, it's been too common of a reason to be called an alibi in my opinion. Weirdest for me though is that this person wants to get out of the house because he can't stand the mouth of his wife, yapping about stuff like bills and payments for the house and I'm like you never should've married in the first place if a little yapping about is making you go out to avoid it, face that marriage life head on.

Here's the path of the affected when it comes to gambling addiction or any addiction for that matter, first is the individual themselves and then the people around them and it can be loved ones or close friends and then depending on that person it could also affect the community because we all know that addiction leads to desperation and sometimes desperation can lead to a person to do a life of crime because they need to get that addiction fix or they will somehow internally and metaphorically explode. It's actually much sadder if the family members learn a little too late that someone from their family is addicted, that's the saddest because if that person was open to gambling, there would've been a possibility of an early intervention.

Nope, I don't think it's a good idea to diversify when there's already a possibility that a bullrun is going to happen, there's no way tha it's a good idea to do that diversification right now, maybe if this is a stock market it might work fine but this is crypto market and I don't think that's a good idea. Just go to bitcoin all the way, there's no other way more proper than that. Don't look for balance because bitcoin's giving you the opportunity to get more value, don't stray to the right path. Of course it's your decision OP but remember that if you're have doubts about diversifying then that means it's not a good idea.

The gall of that troll to do that hack is just so awesome to me, they're probably planning to do this for a really long time now and they've probably got a bet that it's going to push the price to go up so they did just that to make this bet come true. Did this affect the price though? I'm pretty that this kind of fake news can affect the market right? I like what @Kelward's saying tha this could be an inside job to test the water is, that seems to be a likely thing to happen too but my mind just went to the part where it's a troll hacker.

The problem with those people in my opinion is that they don't have a lot of stuff to do besides watching their crypto grow in profit, if you actually don't think about it that much, you inevitably hodl too long than you've ever been when you're watching your crypto 24/7, getting a hobby that doesn't involve cryptocurrency can help you not make the mistake of selling early because you're watching it everytime. Totally agree, it should be at the right opportunity you should be selling and not at the price that many think is the right time to sell.
I don't just hodl for the long-term, I'm also buying so I can get more value and increase the profit that I might be able to get out of my hodl. The people you're talking about are split in a category, one is the people that will never get over it and think that it's going to be that way forever even if they're wrong so many times about the death of bitcoin and those that will get over it and go to the side that invests in bitcoin eventually and rants about regretting not getting in when bitcoin's price was much lower than the time that he got in.

Anything going up with bitcoin is always possible, that's why it's a good thing to set up your selling goal higher than you normally should because bitcoin's proven itself time and time again that it's going to go up despite all of it's detractors throughout the years, how long do we have to learn the same lesson with bitcoin? I don't think I'm up to make the same mistake of selling early because I was blinded by the profit, my absurdist price goal helped me stop potentially stupid things that would've messed up my investments and hodling process. Everytime someone says that bitcoin's dead, I always bring a cup to get those tears from people that's scared to death about that possibility.
