It depends on the crypto affiliate program you choose to promote, but if it's legal and you can persuade people to sign up, you have a good chance of success. The bull market tends to attract a large audience, and the key to a successful affiliate program is attracting many people to join or sign up, earning you commissions. With the anticipated bull market, people will be exploring various opportunities and services. Just ensure that what you're promoting is truly beneficial to them rather than just a way to take their money.

This doesn't make sense----how can a gambling shop be sued for letting people play? They're a business, and winning is essential for their profitability. They welcome anyone, regardless of whether the gambler has a problem or not. Threatening legal action against a gambling shop could have serious consequences for the addicted gambler's family. They might end up being counter-sued and have to pay damages. It seems like they don't fully grasp the situation, perhaps out of desperation.

Yeah, I thought they are gonna win since they were in control at the start of the 4th quarter, but seemed unable to find their shooting in the 4th, outscored by the OKC 31-13. that's unacceptable. Booker and Durant are the ones that could really work on this team, Bradley is still figuring out how to fit.


A disappointing loss. I believe I have no more business with the Warriors. I won't be backing them in the following games until they address their issues. While Curry has been producing like an MVP, the impact on the team is not positive. I'd rather see him score at least 20 points per game with Klay and Wiggins getting into the groove every time.

Looking good, @owengtam09! You only need the Suns to win to make it perfect.

It's a good thing you didn't bet on the Warriors; they've been so inconsistent in their last two games. But as for me, I'm still backing them as who knows, they might end their cold streak with the game against the Timberwolves. Anyway, the Suns vs. OKC is currently a close game, but since your bet is on the moneyline, I'd say you'll get a win on that.

I'm not well-versed in economic matters, but I believe this is a mistaken assumption. How can they increase the value of a local currency? Do you mean an increase in the quantity, like printing more money? Central banks can do that, and even the US did so during the pandemic by printing more money.

The US printed more than $3 trillion in 2020 alone. Here’s why it matters today

That depends on you. If you are satisfied with it, then that is your goal for investing with that amount of Bitcoin. Everyone probably has different satisfaction levels when it comes to investment, but I think having 1 BTC is quite significant. For the average investor, holding it for the long term could bring happiness. One day, if Bitcoin reaches $1 million per coin, you'll be a millionaire at that time.

Like others suggest, secure your bitcointalk account by staking it; that's the only security measure I've found necessary here on the forum. Recovering your account takes time, and some may never recover their accounts. It's better to prevent your account from being hacked.

Not necessarily by changing your password every time, as that might lead to forgetting your password too. Instead, avoid downloading unknown applications that could potentially steal your passwords. Also, be cautious when checking the URL of the site you are visiting. For this forum, it should be 'https://bitcointalk.org'.....no more, no less, as there are fake sites out there.

The presence of three superstars (Harden, Kawhi, and PG) is already enough to excite the fans. What fans really want now is to see them winning, especially since they were already successful before the James Harden trade. The gamble doesn't seem to be working well, but let's see how this unfolds as we are still in the early stage of the season.

Let's consider the Irving trade last season; the team initially struggled with chemistry, but now the Mavericks have been playing really well. Kyrie and Luka have found the right chemistry and know how to complement each other.

I guess I will be riding with the Warriors too, I waited for the line to move and it happened, Warriors is now currently -4.5 from -3.5, so I guess this is a good sign that they'll win and cover the spread.



The Magic consistently have an answer every time the Bucks make a good run, and it doesn't look good for the Bucks. Once again, Giannis is shouldering the heavy load, while the Magic have been sharing the ball effectively, with Banchero, Wagner's brothers, and Suggs doing the damage. Additionally, the Bucks' free-throw percentage is significantly lower compared to the Magic's. I believe the home team will win outright.

They need to stop; they don't have a place in gambling as they are essentially destroying their lives. It's not just them but also their families and the people around them who are affected. Irresponsible gamblers have no place in gambling, as it's all about managing risks while still finding entertainment in the game. When a person becomes too desperate to make money through gambling, likely due to financial problems, it only leads to more significant issues. So, it's not really helpful; prevention is always better than cure, anyway.

Sometimes people seize the opportunities presented to them. Perhaps they hadn't planned to get married until the OP earned a decent income from his investment. But since the opportunity came, the marriage happened. I think we should just be happy with that and not question whether the story is true or not, as surely the OP would not claim it's just a made-up story.


If you consider it a merit farming story, simply refrain from giving merits. Why is the merit system such a significant issue, anyway? Some members with extra merits might even give them for non-substantial posts, or even to posts from signature campaigns receiving weekly payments. Why not question that as well?

Yes that's a big no if you are an employee but there are people who really don't follow that simple rules.

There's a thread here regarding this topic and you can read plenty of replies from gamblers' opinion.

Who among you here is gambling at work? 


Although this is not advisable, for me, as long as I can pay the loan and I would gamble only what I can afford to lose, I guess it's okay.

We have different ways of managing our funds, and I believe what's bad is if we don't know how to handle our loans.

Whatever type of gambling someone engages in, if they can't control their addiction, it will always lead to regrets. That's why it's important not only to learn how to play the game but also how to gamble responsibly. There's a lot to learn while you're into sports betting. Even experienced gamblers can make mistakes sometimes that could lead to addiction. So, there's no guarantee that a gambler will never be addicted as we are only human, and our emotions can be weak sometimes.

A pension fund is for security when you get old. You'll receive it from the government or a private institution on a monthly basis to fund your needs. So, I don't think we should put that at risk. Although we can say that Bitcoin is a good investment that could potentially increase the value of the pension received, not everyone is willing to take that risk, especially if a person does not have many income sources after retirement.

There should have been a protest, and Manny should have been declared the winner since it's automatic that the scoring should be 10-6 when there are 3 knockdowns in a round. Team Marquez could not counter-protest that, but what's done is done. Manny was still the better fighter in terms of overall accomplishments in boxing, despite Marquez retiring after he knocked Pacman out cold and not giving a rematch.

They have to prove themselves in the playoffs, though. However, we must respect what the Wolves have accomplished so far, as they've shown that Boston is not an unbeatable team. One thing I've noticed about the Wolves is that, thus far, Gobert is posting great statistics. So, he may end up with better output this season compared to the last, and the Wolves certainly need that.

It was listed as questionable, but he did play. However, it didn't help much as he was struggling with his shooting, just like CP3, who only finished with 5 points on 2/10 shooting. It would have been acceptable if he had contributed more assists, but he only managed 2 in this game.

I believe the Warriors will bounce back tomorrow, even though they are playing in a back-to-back game. They are facing the Pistons, who are also in a back-to-back game and recently suffered a loss to the Suns. The Warriors should be able to secure this win.


The Nuggets were flawless prior to their defeat by the Wolves. The Celtics' next game will also be against the Wolves. Will their flawless record be ruined?

Typically, we realize the importance of financial stability when we plan to start a family. Building a family means securing their future, especially if we have kids. We aim to provide them with a good education and a comfortable life. When we're young, it's crucial to take finances seriously. However, if we become too focused on money, we might forget to enjoy life while we're free and have the support of our parents.

But once we reach a more serious stage, usually around 30 years old, it's essential to concentrate on our future and avoid making unwise decisions that could harm our financial prospects. Investing is the best way to achieve financial stability, but it's a gradual process. Initially, you need to learn, often by working for a company, to understand how businesses operate and how the business world functions.

OP asked if people would get rid of their Bitcoin if something like this happened. I think it's the worst situation for investors because just imagine, Bitcoin is already worth more than $600 billion in marketcap, and all that money could disappear if a new cryptocurrency or a better one is created.

I'm open to making changes to improve the system, but we should also be prepared for when that time comes. We're not just holding onto Bitcoin for no reason. It's important to get our investment back and maybe even make some profit before Bitcoin loses its value.

Anything can happen in this free world, and the competition is fierce. If we come across a new project that's better than Bitcoin, people might invest in it, and Bitcoin could gradually lose its popularity until the market declines. But that's a worst-case scenario, my friend. Personally, I don't worry about the future because it's all uncertain. My advice is to enjoy the benefits Bitcoin offers while we can. If the time comes for it to be replaced, we'll have enough to invest in a new project.
