Actually totoo to. Last halving noong 2020, ganitong ganito din yung nangyare sa price ng BTC. Walang movement on the day of the halving and yung transaction fees ay sobrang tumaas sa lahat ng exchanges. Tapos after a few weeks, bumaba pa nga yung price ng BTC pero biglang nag sky rocket after a few weeks/months din.

Almost the same pattern yung nangyayare ngayong halving. Bumaba yung price ng BTC around p3.3m pero ngayon nag rerecover siya to p3.6m and medyo ineexpect ko na baka ma-break niya yung barrier and marereach niya ang p4.0m within a few weeks from now.

If may doubts pa rin kayo on whether to invest or not, now is the time to acquire more BTCs for long-term investment. In fact, medyo pinag bigyan pa nga tayo ni bitcoin ngayon na mag acquire kase bumaba talaga price niya to p3.3m a few days ago.

Cheating covers a wide and broad range of topics that a person may be suspected. It covers all forms of cheating, such as using third-party programs, providing false information, etc.

Now, if an online gambling casino suspects that a certain account is cheating, submitting KYC documents is necessary to know if it validates the form of cheating in which the account was suspected of using. For example, if the online gambling casino sees from his IP address that he is using VPNs, which is exclusively listed as illegal to use on their ToS, submitting their KYC documents can verify on where that person is staying.

At the end of the day, it is definitely within the discretion of the online gambling company to require KYC to their customers. Not only does this imply good faith on the part of the person, it also means that they are willing to comply with all the said requirements that they require.

I could just imagine a person explaining this whole blocks of texts to their parents and as soon as he starts explaining, the parents would quickly lose interest due to the technicalities of cryptocurrencies.

Remember that a person must explain BTC like they are five (5) years old- use simple terms and apply metaphors in order to explain technical and complex information. As soon as they understand the opportunity that it hides, then they may be inclined to invest at some point. But be reminded that you must also keep your expectations low as some parents are very traditionalist- meaning they only invest and exert effort on things that they have experienced before.


I think it could also be of help if you can also use financial terms that can be applied to BTC for better understanding of its mechanics. Understanding cryptocurrencies can be a challenge to a beginner but if they are committed enough in learning it, then it can be done quickly.

Lastly, I would also suggest to use third-party materials (e.g. YouTube lectures, etc.). since there are several videos that explain the blockchain in its simplest form.

I have read countless of posts describing the exact point that you have mentioned.

OP, cash it out and avoid greed getting in your way. The more money you keep in your roll, the more temptation would follow that can compel you to recycle those winnings. Remember, gambling is always a 2-way result: you can either win and enjoy it; or you could lose some or everything miserably. When you have already won, call it a day and enjoy your winnings- never-ever let greed dictate your decision.


I definitely agree with your statement.

The funny thing is, even if I win a relatively small amount of money in gambling, I straight-up cash them out instantly despite the opportunity of betting again. I consider a win as something that rarely happens so might as well take advantage of it.

Actually my answer depends on where I feel comfortable gambling at.

Initially, I chose laptop since that is the main gadget that I have at my home. I also use my laptop for all online purposes which definitely includes gambling online. But whenever I feel bored or just want to take a quick game of gambling to test out my luck, I usually hit the bed and use my mobile phone for some mobile-friendly applications in gambling.

I would actually, prefer, to gamble using a tablet if I have one. It functions similarly to a mobile phone but with the access of a larger screen and a good display. Since the user-interface (UI) of online gambling websites to a mobile phone is similar to a tablet, the latter would be more convenient and fun especially if you play card games on such device.

This is the reason on why the forum was created in the first place- this is a platform where people would share their experiences, start discussions, and provide useful information that will benefit everyone. Keep on taking advantage of the best cryptocurrency platform and let us create an environment where everyone would help each other for the benefit of having everyone invested (literally) on Bitcoin!

Truly, I really am thankful also for this forum. Not only did it gave useful information about cryptocurrencies but it also provided me an opportunity to have the privilege of working online and earning BTCs in the process. It also gave me the opportunity to at least provide financially for my family as it is very difficult to live in a family of five (5) with only a single father raising us.

This forum has created endless of opportunities and its members are responsible for keeping the forum a place for a healthy discussion to all. Not only did this forum provide an avenue for opportunities but it also gave us a glimpse of whats to come in the future.

I somehow feel guilty after reading this post.

I currently live in a country where job opportunities are considered a luxury. Given the number of competition plus the lack of any government support for job creation, the priorities of our citizens are shifted towards getting a stable and consistent job. Any kind of financial savings (e.g. retirement plan, investments, etc.) are considered a luxury that most probably be prioritized in the far future. The goal first is to secure a consistent flow of income and any kind of retirement plans will come after that.

With this kind of condition, I feel very blessed to discover cryptocurrencies at a relatively young age. I quickly understood its potentials and on what it can do that may benefit me either in the near or far future depending on the price of BTCs.

I just hope that the government would cooperate in providing the best opportunities for our citizens in order for them to start building a mindset of saving for retirement and other investment luxuries.

There have been reports where some streamers were caught using a demo account. Not to mention, there were also some streamers who played on a platform with rigged odds- meaning the whole experience was rigged from the very start.

I remember there was this guy who streams CSGO roulette skins on YouTube and there was a time that he showed he won tons of skins worth $1,000+ from demonstrating the gambling platform. At the end, he was exposed on using a demo account or an account that was specifically designed for him to showcase to the people created by the admins on that gambling platform himself.

If you guys really want to gamble, then avoid watching streamers and using the gambling website as basis. This forum exists for a purpose- to warn and to guide potential gamblers from using fake advertisements from rigged gambling websites.

Again, before you gamble on an online gambling website, please refer to this forum for genuine feedback to have an overview regarding it. As you may know, 1xbit has a very poor reputation in this forum due to consistent reports of scamming its users, changing its ToS that is very prejudicial against its players, and failing to pay its members when it held its signature campaign on the forum.

There are tons of issues surrounding 1xBit and it is not a stranger to the cryptocurrency world. Perhaps, its reputation has been built by negative feedback and reviews from almost all the users. With this information, you should have exercised care and caution when dealing with any kind of online gambling website especially if you are going to pour a significant amount of money to bet.

Going back, I really doubt that you can recover your money from them. If you reached out to their customer support agent but they still failed to honor your payments despite overwhelming evidence, then consider it as money loss on your part. Let this experience teach you to be more vigilant and careful when dealing with any kind of online gambling websites.

Thank you very much for creating this thread. This is what we needed in this board- having discussions and awareness para maiwasan ng ating mga kabayan na ma-scam sa mga exchanges/wallets na maaring mag pasok sila ng pera.

Given na onting-onti sumisikat ang cryptocurrency sa bansa, madaming mga newbies ang pumapasok dito. Since ganito nga ang sitwasyon, madami ding kumakalat na panibagong mga wallet/exchanges na may phishing or mining software na maaring makapag hack sa inyong mga wallet. Delikadong delikado ito and if ito nga ang nagyare sa isang newbie, for sure mawawalan siya ng gana mag invest and magkakaroon ng bad impression sa kanya ang buong crypto na maaring maging chain-reaction sa pag pasok ng mga tao dito.

Once again, maraming salamat dito OP. Keep it coming and please create more threads that will raise awareness towards hack and potentially dangerous links, wallets, and/or exchanges for everyone.

As a rule of thumb, only invest the amount that you are willing to lose. Sure, there are people who have taken advantage of the price of BTC when they acquired it back in 2015+ but do remember that it really takes a strong-willed person to HODL that amount of money until today.

Investments are still currency and money. If there are any medical emergencies that need financial support, then do not hesitate to use your investments as payment to any healthcare or emergency that you may encounter. While I do agree that there may be regrets, always remember that investments are there to give you at least some sort of security in terms of payment to emergencies.

At the end of the day, bitcoin will be there to stay. Take advantage of the halvings and its price jumps. Before you also invest, always check the market, world news, and other factors that may affect its price. Investing in bitcoin will NOT guarantee you positive returns but it will at least give you an opportunity to take advantage of its price increase to turn it into your favor.

Bonus spins are marketing tools used by online gambling companies in order to retain its players into gambling again. The more spins that you have, the higher the chances that you would be inclined to gamble again on their platform. As a result, the more time that you spend on a gambling website, there is that higher probability that you would have to buy and purchase their bundles to acquire more free spins. It is a simple marketing yet effective for users to would want to gamble long-term.

Personally, if I have a budget for the day, I would opt to purchase the bundle that has any free spins or bonuses. If I already won in the process, then I would also be inclined to cash-out. Remember, you already won and betting again would not guarantee an absolute win on your part.


I also agree with your statement.

Like what I have mentioned, bonuses are there for the players to be attracted into gambling again on the platform. Just because it is free, it does not mean that you would win from it. Remember, gambling is a 2-way street: either you win or you lose miserably- pick your choice.

I find it funny that majority of my friends play this online gambling game called "scatter" in our local online cash system. Most of them would share their winnings by sending pictures of their wins but some fail miserably. Additionally, they also tend to be consistent on their bets that would mostly negate their winnings at the end.

An example of what I stated above is that my friend would constantly share his winnings but he usually gambles everyday. Sure, he may have won $200 from a $1 bet but eventually everything would be a loss when he used those winnings in order to gamble again on his present and future games.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
If you already won in gambling, consider it as money used. Try your very best not to recycle your winnings and gamble again as remember, the house always win due to the presence of house edge. That is why, if you already won, quit the game and call it a day!

Majority of online gambling websites have their respective ToS regarding the submission of any KYC documents. Also, there are also some websites under their ToS that specifically stipulates that if a person fails to submit any of the required KYC documents, then they may experience issues regarding their payments and withdrawals.

With this, remember that there are also gambling companies that offer KYC upfront. If you do not want to submit any of the said KYC documents, then you run the risk of your payments being withheld by the gambling company (and they are legal for doing that).

At the end of the day, if you are uncomfortable of submitting any of your personal identity/information, then avoid gambling companies that require you to submit KYC. If you try to circumvent this requirement on a gambling website, then expect future issues/problems to occur.

Nope- I will definitely NOT advice beginners to invest on a newly launched project given that the knowledge required is too great for them to grasp.

Remember that beginners should be able to understand the fundamentals of cryptocurrencies. Before investing into any altcoins, they must first learn the basics and on how cryptocurrencies work in the first place. Also, be reminded that majority of new projects are famous for its "rug pulls" where the projects would collect the investment and banish after receiving all of the donations and monetary support from its backers.

Just to add, investing on BTC is already risky. Why add another layer of risk to these beginners? You may also bring more harm than good if they get the wrong idea from investing into newly launched projects especially if the latter fails to uphold its promise to its backers.

I am always been a fan of Canelo ever since his fight with Mayweather. Though he lost on that fight, that actually taught him to be a skillful fighter given that he learned so much techniques and fundamentals from that fight. If I remember correctly, that was also his first loss on his professional boxing career and that experience taught him valuable lessons that made him the beast today.

With his fight against Jaime Munguia, I am definitely looking forward for the onslaught between these two (2) fighters. I try not to be bias but just with the experience, raw power, and technique of Canelo, I definitely see this as a KO on Jaime on the first 1-3 rounds. Fight will be held in three (3) days from now and for the first time ever, I will be casting a bet on it!


I am also on the same boat! Never heard of Jamie Munguia but his record looks very promising. A Mexican boxer, as we all know, are hard-hitting warriors that will look for bloodbath as soon as the bell rings. They never backdown of the fight as they want chaos on the boxing field.

Definitely looking forward to this match and I hope that Canelo bags the win!

This is common in the gambling world where people would bet everything on one game.

When you are too deep in gambling, sometimes, you just want to speed things up by betting large amounts of money. With that kind of expectation, you tend to have that "all-out" attitude where you just want to get over with it. This kind of mindset can be dangerous given that people do not realize the consequences of their actions until they are pushed to their very limits.

The only way for gamblers to cure their addiction is to really have that committed mindset of improvement. If they lack the commitment, then expect these players for their addiction to recur as soon as they attempt to remedy it.

Nah, I find it impossible for Ryan Garcia to fight Anthony Joshua when he moves into the heavy weight. I mean, I understand that he won against Haney but moving to the heavy weight division? That's another beast that me must deal with given that the boxers in that division are naturally weighted individuals who has the power of the earth in one punch.

I mean, sure, Ryan Garcia won and he was very aggressive in portraying himself as the villain in social media. But when you are moving to another weight division and battling the beasts there, that will definitely be a beating that he must prepare to.

There is a reason on why Pacquiao never even bothered to move beyond welterweight. According to him, he was surprised when he survived his fight against Margarito and even saying that he hit the hardest¹, to wit:


So again going back, if Ryan Garcia moves to the heavy weight division and fights Anthony Joshua, then we should expect results that are most likely obvious..

I agree with you. With the rise of technology that somehow influenced the elderly, they are now discovering ways on how to gamble on their respective mobile phones.

Before the pandemic happened, I noticed that there are lots of middle aged to elderly people who were high rollers in such casino. Additionally, I rarely see young individuals gamble at physical casinos; or if there are any, they rarely stay.

Now after the pandemic, the rise of online gambling has skyrocketed its popularity where everyone seems to try it. Not to mention, even the elderly are now shifting to this method since most online gambling websites made it convenient for them to participate (e.g. simple controls, etc.).

I think it is relative and flexible on how you categorize something as a hobby.

According to the Webster's Dictionary, the definition of a HOBBY is:

So again, hobby is defined as an activity primarily for pleasure and entertainment. Like what people have discussed in this forum, gambling can both be a hobby and as a form of profit depending on how you view it. There are people who view it primarily as a way of making money; and there are people who see it as an alternative means of earning income though in a risky environment.

In conclusion, gambling can BOTH be a hobby and as a form of profit depending on how you approach it. There is NO absolute answer here as these perceptions may co-exist with each other depending on the goal of the person gambling.
