I guess it's worth it if you have a very large amount of coins that you can get a return from staking it. You can also hope the return will be worth the time you wait for the coin to increase in price again. I've been trying to stake those coins in custodial wallets or even on Binance and I see it can be a kind of passive income in the long term. But to sell the result, I think it will wait for the increase in the price of the coin so that we can get big profits.

You can't maintain the profitability in trading, because sometimes your losses are more than your winnings and it could be the other way around too. Trading is about luck and how good your probability is, because that's how you're gonna increase your chances of making profit every single trade you're gonna make. Maybe you could have 70-80 percent of making your profit stable but not 100%.
It is difficult to maintain profitability in trading because the market tends to change all the time. But it doesn't make us lose, especially if we can analyze the coins that will increase. Trading is about analyzing market conditions and finding the right coins to trade. And if your analytical skills are good enough, you will surely be able to find the right coin and also make a profit. So, in this case, you must continue to hone your analytical skills so that you will not be affected by market conditions that will continue to go up and down.
5643  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - what is your plan when we reach $100k? on: May 03, 2023, 11:39:13 AM
I will sell half of the total bitcoins that I have or will instead sell all of the bitcoins that I have and will wait for the altcoin season in the hope that many of my altcoins will increase in the form of usdt or bitcoin. I will also sell it when bitcoin reaches a peak price or at $ 100k because after reaching a peak price, the price of bitcoin will decrease again and I can buy it using some of the money from that profit.

I really wish I could sell my altcoins and get a profit in bitcoin to give me some extra gains. Hopefully, we can all sell bitcoin at the next peak price.

Pathetic people.

These are the people that you should avoid if you ever encounter one or two in real lives. They can't accept the reality that they've lost and trying to prove that it's not their fault that they've lost their money as they gamble.

Believe me, these people are no good and you don't want to be associated with them because they don't take things accountable for what they've done. Trying to run away and blame what they did to anyone that's just a fantasy, they should really get lost.
You are right. They will only blame other people if something is not the way they want and in this case, after playing gambling and losing, they will blame other people or even the gambling machine. Among our many friends, there must be friends like that and we shouldn't need to get too close to them so we don't get into trouble either.

They will never grow up if they only blame others and don't want to introspect themselves. Yet by introspection, they will see whether their actions are right or wrong. And if it goes wrong, they can fix it so it doesn't happen again.

So we all agree to focus on finding news from reliable sources because that can provide valid news rather than searching from sites we don't know very well. And fortunately, we already have several or you could say many reliable news sites that always provide updates for many sports so that we can easily get the latest and valid news. And of course, it won't take long to get news about the match that will take place so we know what to choose. In addition, we might get additional information that other people usually don't pay much attention to, so it will be like the confidential information we get.
5646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Questions of the day for gamblers on: May 03, 2023, 03:09:46 AM
They can use decentralized gambling games. They choose to use a game that has become the default game on their site. Maybe the casinos can control their slot machines and I don't really care about that because I don't use casinos to make money. After all, it would probably happen in a scam casino.

To play slots, we don't need to be really experts, the important thing is we know how to choose the game, and we can determine how many bets we place. Slot games depend on your luck, so you won't be able to win if you are unlucky.

The slot games are the games I am most comfortable playing and I don't think the casinos would cheat their players. Our job is to enjoy the gambling game we play and not think about it.
5647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: May 02, 2023, 05:26:24 AM
Hopefully, he can learn from his experience and never repeat the same mistake. And if he is already experiencing a gambling addiction, he should ask for help from other people to help him cure his gambling addiction. And that he has to do before he has a new job so it won't make him go back to gambling after getting a new job. If he cannot cure his gambling addiction, it will not make him stop gambling but will only make him sink deeper into gambling because, from his new job, he will be able to earn income to gamble again.
if the person is wise in responding to his problem or the lessons he has learned, he should think about the long term such as curing himself from gambling addiction or if he is not an addict he can go to a psychology doctor to get a solution to improve himself before getting a new job.
because it's only useless if you still have a great desire to gamble when he has got a new job, he can spend all his salary on gambling and it gets worse.
He should have become self-aware of what he's got and know he has a problem that must be cured. But if he can't learn from his experiences or even get deeper into gambling, no one can help him and he will only get worse from gambling.

When someone has money, is used to gambling, and has no self-control, he will only use that money to gamble. He will not think about his life or start a new life without gambling. Maybe someone else should stay with him while he's at home or out and about so that person can keep an eye on what he's doing. And if he wanted to gamble, that person would pull him elsewhere.
but in my opinion, if he has become a gambling addict, it will be very difficult for him to be self-aware because in his mind he is only gambling and winning big. It is this mindset that causes a person to become an addict when he wins large amounts at gambling and he feels and thinks about the results or big profits from gambling.
and it would all be better if the people themselves who wanted to live better avoided gambling or took gambling less seriously as just entertainment.

that's all I say from my own experience that I've been an addict.
A gambling addict will indeed find it difficult to be self-aware. Hopefully, an event will awaken him so he can get enlightenment that playing gambling is not good for him and he is already experiencing gambling addiction. A beginner new to gambling has a high potential to become a gambling addict, especially if he only follows his friend's invitation to gamble. And if he does not have self-control, he will gradually turn into a gambling addict. But even though he has become a gambling addict, it seems he will not blame his friends who have asked him to gamble.
5648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 02, 2023, 04:14:54 AM
If they blame each other for losing at gambling, it could end in a fight because each will stand by his stance and don't want to be blamed. This will also make them emotional and could damage their friendship. For this reason, maturity is needed to accept all the risks that arise from gambling so that they will not blame each other and can still have fun. Or should they not need to play gambling together rather than blaming each other if they lose.
maturity when gambling is necessary and maybe the person goes to gambling at the same time and the two people are mature in age but we must know that maturity will disappear when it comes to money lost or lost in gambling which causes blaming each other.
therefore I am very skeptical about gambling with friends or inviting other people to go gambling with me choosing to gamble in an introverted manner so as not to blame anyone when I lose.

and I agree with you it would be better to reduce gambling or avoid gambling if you can't be mature in gambling.
Even though both of them are adults, that doesn't guarantee that both have maturity because we've seen people over 20 years old but can't think in an adult way. So, in this case, it could have happened, let alone lost money in gambling so they could have blamed each other.

It's better for us to play gambling alone without friends than later blaming each other. Or even if we go gambling with friends, we have to know each other's character so we won't blame it, especially if we experience a gambling loss.
5649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Confident Are you With Altcoin In This Time on: May 01, 2023, 04:21:15 PM
I think many of those altcoin investors are gambling by holding altcoins, including me Grin

But the coins I hold are big coins like ETH, BNB, and some altcoins that are getting attention from some traders. But I do not agree that altcoins are included as long-term investments because not many can survive long-term by not experiencing deep declines, even for ETH and BNB.

So if it's an altcoin, we should buy during a bear market and sell it when the market is experiencing altcoin season. And everything will depend on your analysis to find the right coin.
5650  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Your thoughts on crypto exhcnages. on: May 01, 2023, 03:38:44 PM
I don't hate centralized exchanges and I still use Binance to trade. The exchange is a place to trade, not store your coins. If you decide to buy and store, it's best if, after you buy the coins, you send them straight away to another wallet that you have full control over.

That would take the worry out of the exchange going bankrupt as FTX did. And you are still safe keeping your coins in your personal wallet and you can also sell them if the price increases.
5651  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is improving I guess? on: May 01, 2023, 02:23:42 PM
You still have time to buy at the current price, which will lower your average purchase price. But if you don't want to buy bitcoins anymore, that's up to you. But bitcoin now is much better because it can be more popular than a few years ago, especially since bitcoin has also succeeded in making its last ATH. And soon, we might see a new ATH from bitcoin so starting some time ago, many people have started investing in bitcoin. They certainly didn't want to miss having a lot of bitcoins so they decided to continue accumulating lots of bitcoins while there was still time.

I also agreed with you that he have still a good price for buying bitcoin I would also say that not only for him also for everyone who are interested to investment on bitcoin that study about the DCA(dollar cost average) and then make investment with that DCA strategy. I think this can be a also safe investment which can make or bring good profit in the long term. And talking about the ATH , current ATH was 69k and there is  no confusion that in near future the ATH going to more upper so now it would be wise decision to make or hold Bitcoin for long-term.

Many didn't believe that it could reach to its past price figure where ATH has been break out, so to avoid missing something then its good to test out how the market will move. Since once halving will nearly occur maybe the same great pump will also occur and provably we can hit another ATH where many people wants to see. To avoid being sorry for those opportunity to gain maybe better to start thinking to hold so that we can join those people who will be happy when earning a lot of profit on possible bitcoin rally.
Leave it alone for those who don't believe that BTC could reach the previous ATH price mark and it will surprise them and make them feel sorry for not trying to invest even with a little money. And as long as the price is still in the current price range, it is still the best price he can get to start investing in bitcoin because otherwise, he will never get to the current price again. The halving is almost here and the price will definitely start creeping up to higher prices and we still have more time to invest in bitcoin so just take the time now before it's too late.
5652  Economy / Economics / Re: Which do you prefer on: May 01, 2023, 01:29:06 PM
If you think you can do both, why not just take both? You can get two sources of income that can add to your income and add capital to trade and make ends meet. But you need to pay attention to allocating money from your income to have savings for sudden needs. That would be better because not many of us can have two sources of income that can be used for our lives. And you should be grateful to have both.
5653  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can we trust 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 01, 2023, 12:28:17 PM
My question is.... can we trust these 3rd party Slot providers? Who are auditing their games and who are checking if the advertised RTP are being configured on their servers?

Let's discuss....  Huh
I just think that if Stake.com removed all YGGDRASIL games from their casino, it would be games from that provider that would not interest many gamblers and only a few people would play them. Maybe all of this is because the game revenue from that provider is not profitable for Stake so they decide it for a while.

But Eddie has confirmed that there are some irregularities and maybe they are investigating first to find out the truth.

Now, for your question, I think we can only trust casinos and game providers. And even if we can check the RTP properly and find something wrong, the casino should still check it before deciding to remove it or keep using it in their casino.
5654  Economy / Gambling / Re: STARTING OWN CRYPTO GAMBLING SITE on: May 01, 2023, 11:21:49 AM
People have started having there own crypto casino so they can join the market of casinos and make money for themselves. This is a good business and if someone knows what he is doing, they will be making consistent profits Everytime which is going to make things more easier.
But it's not easy to set up a casino because it will require a lot of money, especially if after the casino is launched, several players can win a lot. That will make the casino have to pay out the winnings to the players and if the casino doesn't have the money and delays the process of withdrawing the money, gamblers will be disappointed. Casino owners have to think about it because the casino they have just created must be able to get a good reputation and also be able to develop the casino.
I agree with you. Opening a new casino site requires a huge amount of money. Casino owner have to spend a lot of money on advertising. Besides, owner need to maintain adequate funds so that they can withdraw gambling money quickly. Normally for new gambling sites have to spend more money until they gain popularity. But if a site is able to retain gamblers by providing adequate facilities, they can prosper relatively in a short period of time. Naturally establishing a new gambling site is not an easy.
Previously, the casino owner had to have a clear plan for his casino to know how much money to prepare and what needed to be prepared. The owner must also know that he has to promote before the casino is launched so that many people know that a new casino can be an option. And usually, it is this promotion that will cost a lot because this promotion must be carried out for a certain period.

After launching the casino, the owner has to monitor how well the casino is developing. And if his progress is unsatisfactory, he can ask his team to implement other plans to support him.
5655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 01, 2023, 10:32:54 AM
If one understands the dangers of gambling addiction and must stay away from it then the only way is to never try to get into gambling because anyone who has entered into gambling has the potential to become a gambling addict.
So far, there are lots of gambling addicts who are difficult to cure unless there is intention and self-will to recover, so one can further limit the gambling activities that he has done.
Yes, when an addict has to deal with the law and ends up in prison they have the opportunity to recover until they stop gambling, which was always done before, but sometimes after they are free, there will be another desire that will appear to gamble again, and this is something that is hard to avoid.
Especially if they live in an environment full of freedom and an environment where there are lots of gambling activities, it is still possible for them to return to how they used to be where they liked gambling.
A gambling addict who has been affected for a long time will be difficult to cure. He also will not be able to see that he has a gambling addiction because he only knows how to gamble and does not know how to stop. Only other people could see him make the mistake of gambling non-stop.

If gambling addicts have to deal with the law and end up in prison, they must be developed to cure their gambling addiction so that they will not return to gambling when they get out of prison. This also requires help from his family, where with increased support from the family can give more confidence to the gambling addict. He will also think about getting well soon and not wanting to repeat his mistake.

When people become addicted to gambling they do not realize their addiction. Many people know about addiction but cannot control it. Moreover, if one cannot control the addiction by himself, it is difficult for others to protect him from that addiction. Also, I don't think that jail is very useful in saving a person from gambling addiction. If the gambler can't give up by his own self, the gambler is likely to become addicted to gambling once he is released from prison. But naturally, when a gambler abstains from gambling for a long time, he learns to control him self.
A gambling addict can only ask for help from other people to help him get out of gambling. Unfortunately, many gambling addicts do not realize they are experiencing gambling addiction. Only other people can see his gambling addiction. If other people also don't care about him, he will have no hope of recovery unless there is a desire from him who has been awakened to the dangers of gambling. The punishment given to a gambling addict can only prevent him from gambling for a while but if the addict is not helped to recover, he will return to gambling again. It will continue to repeat itself without stopping and maybe the government needs to help by setting up a rehabilitation center for addicts.
5656  Economy / Economics / Re: What class of an investor are you? on: May 01, 2023, 05:39:07 AM
If you like safety and don't dare to take risks in search of higher returns, then bitcoin is a safe choice for you in this market. But that doesn't mean people who invest in altcoins aren't investors or are doing nonsense. I mean, I don't think all altcoins are garbage; how can garbage be profitable for so many people?

I also invest in bitcoin, but I'm not a bitcoin maximalist, so I'm not too upset with altcoins. If given the choice, I would choose to be a research investor because I am always looking for opportunities, I don't want to be tied to just one bitcoin and pass up thousands of options with altcoins. Altcoins are riskier, but their rewards are well worth it, so there's no reason to ignore them.
I don't know what the purpose of people investing in crypto is. But I'm here for profit, so I will take advantage of every opportunity.
Of course, some altcoins can be profitable but of the many altcoins, people can invest in the wrong altcoins unless they stay on the top altcoin list. But that also doesn't guarantee they can get big profits when the altcoin season comes because we know that the list of top altcoins will always change in every cycle. This makes people have to analyze more deeply to find out what altcoins can roughly occupy the top altcoin list.

As long as we know the risks of investing in altcoins and can choose the right altcoin, that's okay and just remember to use the money we can afford so that when we experience a loss, we won't lose too much. And don't just invest in one basket but spread your investment over many coins after you do the analysis.

This is the reason why I choose to avoid ALTs. I have faced this many times in the past. Like it just disappear. You can never know if it's gonna be a success or not. And also why waste time on finding the right ATL coin when you already have the best in the market in your hand. Bitcoin will always give you the best results. So try putting your time in that. Analyze the market and create a plan on how you can get the best out of it.
At least that's what I think. But people being greedy, they will always try to choose the shortcut and wanna become rich over night. For that they choose altcoins and in then end, they face scams.
Yes, that's what someone should avoid if they can't accept the risk of losing money by investing in altcoins. Some people will focus on only investing in bitcoin without touching altcoins because they are confident in bitcoin's ability to increase in the next cycle. They don't want to bother choosing altcoins so they will only buy bitcoins at every correction or low price.

People are tempted to invest in altcoins because of the many advertisements or stories about people who have made huge profits investing in altcoins. But really, those people are just lucky to get an altcoin that can improve because most of them just buy altcoins based on suggestions from others.
5657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 01, 2023, 03:56:10 AM
Maybe he hype his friend so much that's why he was been blame about bad situation happen to him. To avoid this its really better to tell all information they needed since if his friend can understand the risk of their games played then they will never mock at you but instead healthy discussion will be build up and  possibly that they can create good plan towards the options they want to try on.

Its good that your friend understand the risk and its condition so that you can avoid blame game and can create good eye view to influence people to gamble responsibly and take care on their capital set.
We don't know that but if both of them knew about the risks of gambling, they wouldn't make fun of each other because they both went through the same experience. What is important is that they can feel the experience of playing the game together and get the same experience and of course, they can enjoy the atmosphere at the gambling place. Plus, if they can enjoy the game, they might come back to the casino another day to enjoy some time together. It's better to leave all the negative thoughts in each other to avoid disturbing the friendship.

of course it started with the two people using money that they couldn't afford to lose so that when they both lost at gambling they would definitely blame each other and end up being enemies with each other, that was very bad.
but it's normal for someone who loses money at gambling to become emotional because it's a natural hormone of mind that appears to remember the lost money and feel disappointed and take it out on others.
If they blame each other for losing at gambling, it could end in a fight because each will stand by his stance and don't want to be blamed. This will also make them emotional and could damage their friendship. For this reason, maturity is needed to accept all the risks that arise from gambling so that they will not blame each other and can still have fun. Or should they not need to play gambling together rather than blaming each other if they lose.

That's another thing. If he's still young then he still has a chance and a lot of opportunities to learn and fix the decision he made. He can still change his life if he wants to. He can still find a job, quit gambling for good and have a new life. It would be a great life lesson to him, experiencing a rollercoaster status in life. I just hope he learned his lesson
