61  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 11, 2024, 09:33:36 PM
We all know that we cannot play for a long time without being responsible players; we could go crazy, or we could lose all our money; at some point, you have to realize that you need to play responsibly, so I created this poll and this discussion to pick your reasons and explain it.
it's totally up to you to decide whether or not you wanna keep gambling ... As a matter of fact, I've meet with so many degenerate gamblers; they don't give a fuck whatever they've lost. They've been really clingy to their faith and hope that whatever happens, they'll secure 2% outta 100 loses.

In my case, I have to lose a lot of money to realize I have to gamble responsibly if I don't want to break my finances and experience depression, so now I control myself and monitor my expenses, and I'm doing good with it.
On the other hand, you don't have to lose money to gamble responsibly... There's also nothing you can do to make accurate predictions. It's either you're being too careful or too careless!
Right from when I started gambling I have always managed my bankroll properly and I have never had to regret depositing more than I could afford to lose.
That's exactly what they should know.
62  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They put an end to online gambling: what do you think it's going to happen? on: May 11, 2024, 08:47:47 PM
That many people will die in hungry with this our economy which nothing is working, no work for people food are at higher amount in their and some people are benefiting from gambling this days, that mostly him his benefiting from gambling.
how on earth did you have to agree with them that gambling is a way to curb the drastic state of the country's economy? Do you really think them casinos are out there to fund your pockets and leave theirs? Is gambling more like a self-enrichment project to you? Y'all need to be careful how you interpret things sometimes.

That with $200 he can stake and win about $100000 daily something that you won't even struggle to get, they can't even pay someone at work monthly up to that amount.
How TF does he do that? You won't be coming up with your fictional stories in here yunno ... How does he go about such a consistency?
Quote
So if their is no more online gambling that means definitely there won't be no more gambling at all. So how will you cope in your country if eventually they put an end to online gambling?
Work hard!!!
A country banning gambling is not even the problem. What if the country goes ahead to write to the casino that they should not service their region anymore, in this case even a VPN will be useless.
you can access any casino with the TOR onion browser or any strong VPN
63  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? on: May 10, 2024, 09:35:13 PM
You have no idea what it looks like to gamble and lose money... First of all, gambling isn't a one-way fund raising program - that alone should tell you that they'll be times you'd lose money ... Now, it's up to you to decide whether or not you wanna keep gambling! Do you understand why People keep gambling after several losses now?

Secondly, trying to chase your loses is what makes the whole situation worse... Most people also indulge in gambling multiple tickets at once - like wagering on several virtual games with heavy stakes in one round, which could reach up to $500. If none of those tickets hit the jackpot, it's a lose lose for them.
64  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you think about Casinos rewards? on: May 10, 2024, 09:28:24 PM
Casinos are known for having rewards , which are almost the same in all of them and do not differ much. For example, the welcome bonuses that players get after making deposits, free spins, bonuses, etc.
Just like you said, they're basically creating a sense of "partial return" to any player that lost in the game already ( i sighted that instance for already registered users), but for newly registered ones, it serves more like a motivation to make heavy deposits (since you'll only be eligible for a bonus of such depending on how much deposit you make on your first trail)

Quote
Do you research the casino features before playing? Do you find these features useful for the casino and the player at the same time?
I personally don't have any preferred features since I don't gamble, but I have an experience of what a better casino looks like.... Every gambler is either out for reviews on fast payout, unnecessary bugs, advanced fixtures and odds etc...
65  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Non custodial wallet is not for the weak on: May 10, 2024, 09:13:26 PM
Users must take their own security measures that can be susceptible to mistakes and attacks.  I must say non custodial wallet is a good one but one must be ready to take responsibilities privacy, wallet security,  protection against fraud.
From the day you decide to store your coins in a wallet that you control all by yourself, without any third-party, you bear full responsibility of anything that happens to your funds.
Why should anyone not protect their valuables ? Shouldn't it be incumbent on you to do so? I feel so secured and safe having the thoughts that my coins are in my own custody.
You are trying to mislead newbies. If you don't understand a thing properly, don't write about it. Just try learn, and practice yourself before writing an article like this.
I really don't think he meant it that way though.
I think he was more of like - having a feeling that it becomes way too cumbersome to deal with, at some point. (col)
66  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crackdown on mixers and privacy tools is ineffective: it may even help criminals on: May 10, 2024, 08:56:43 PM
The whole essence of censorships and privacy evasion from the governments isn't about curbing any form of crime whatsoever... That's what they've been using to cover up their tracks and, act like they don't have any personal vendetta against Bitcoin itself.
You see, since every transaction isn't necessarily traceable, they're beginning to tire! The fear that people might HODL so much and that Bitcoin could enrich people in a way that they're richer than the government themselves, which already negates and thwarts their whole effort in fighting against inflation is reallll!!
Secondly, they're just bossy and greedy. Having a feeling that their obnoxious taxes should be extended into the crypto world is the lamest thing they'd ever think of.
I don't get why they think they can stop it. When has the government managed to stop something that people stood behind? They banned alcohol and people continued to drink.
This is just their usual sentiment old boy!
67  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is it right to invest in Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2024, 08:34:59 PM
Bitcoin isn't like some shitty investments y'all know about.. I keep saying this; if you have an investment plan that you know nothing about, get a mentor. You won't be asking what the right time to invest in Bitcoin is if you really know about Bitcoin.

I'm more concerned about your ignorance on how the system works. BTC right now is already close to ATH, and at this point, it could either decide to retrace or hit the tracks, who knows?
So it's advisable to buy when the price is low - DIP.

69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 13 years ago Theymos sold 160btc at $0.003 per 1, lowest price ever recorded on: May 09, 2024, 09:46:47 PM
It's funny when many people say that if they had known about bitcoin earlier, they would have invested and kept it till now.
Yea — we all know a huge percentage of those people will immediately sell once a drop or some FUD occurs lol. Even I myself wouldn't probably be convinced about Bitcoin's future potential without all those content from the likes of Andreas Antonopoulos to convince me.
Exactly! Alot of people had the opportunity to own so many Bitcoins from its early days but, they took everything they saw/heard for granted. I didn't know about Bitcoin until 2016; eitherways, I never knew pretty much anything else apart from the preferred collective name, "crypto"
It's not about whether someone needed money or sold BTC because they were curious or maybe wanted to be recorded as someone who wanted to go down in history, but about the fact that the OP is wrong when he claims that this is the lowest price at which someone sold Bitcoin. In my previous post, I wrote that back in 2009, Martti Malmi sold as much as 5050 BTC for only $5.02, which means that the price of 1 BTC was only $0.00099.
how in the holy crap was that supposed to be enough for 5050 Bitcoins? Dude had atleast 1.5% out of the 21 million Bitcoins, with which only a million is left unmined. I'm sure that he'll be regretting all his life for letting out a billion dollar asset for some few bucks!

On the other hand, I guess Theymos didn't just wanna put himself in some historical recordings of all times... Maybe he just wanted to try out the p2p network?
70  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ? on: May 09, 2024, 09:36:42 PM
Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
I haven't influenced too many people to invest in bitcoin and, i think i have a viable reason for that ...
People tend to have a very disgusting mindset - especially those set of people from the rural areas. They'd see everything brought to them like a scam and blame you should anything happen contradictorily.
I keep saying this - if you must invest in anything at all, you must atleast have a good knowledge of what it is and how it works. I remember speaking on the phone with my friend outside the states - and she goes "hey, please could you help me invest and trade my Bitcoins? I've got a hundred thousand"  Tongue imagine that!
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What I experienced since the past two days now on: May 09, 2024, 04:34:41 PM
When it comes to money, many people reveal a completely different side.
off topic: That's the reason why lending out cash to people these days is a work of faith.
To cut this story short, it turned out that my trusted neigboir whom I have few times vouched for to be a bitcoin investor is a online scammer who collect Bitcoin from his victims, until he was bursted 2 days ago, it was around 5am in the morning when the raid happened in our compound, I couldn't say anything about this since there is no concrete information about what he did yet until later.
He's been into that for as long as he realized he could use his cellphone to convince gullible people to sending their coins.. where exactly is the problem then? Who am I to blame for the lost coin, the scammer or the witless fellow behind every wallet?..
If you haven't realized how daft some people can be, now lemme tell you; I saw an intriguing post on Twitter. The dude be complaining about how he's missed the arrangement of a few words in his seed phrase, of a wallet that contains atleast $10k worth of crypto. He decided to drop the seed phrase in (his own arrangement) asking that People helped him.
72  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US senators warn on Iran Bitcoin mining industry on: May 09, 2024, 03:56:23 PM
Crypto mining allows Iran “to purchase imports, move funds domestically and internationally, and fund Hamas” and other terrorist organisations, the letter said, adding that this “ongoing activity by the Iranian government threatens our national security.”
This is among the top three most BULL SHIT excuses I have seen coming from a Government or its politicians to impose more restrictions.
it's sad that Bitcoin, an apolitical p2p coin created to liberate the masses and ensure their privacy - but not against the governments - is slowly turning into a political warhead/missile. Everyday, I keep waking up to another strange censorship stories, all to blut out privacy completely or dampen a country's virtual benefits...

I'm afraid but I'll have to say this; Bitcoin is slowly becoming a political affair. It'll get to a point where we no longer have the system to be decentralized as it used to be.
To me, it's just an exaggeration and an attempt to present yourself with some relevant factors in the fight against terrorism. On the other hand, all those sanctions imposed on Russia, Iran, and North Korea have a very limited effect - because the war in Ukraine proved that Russia uses weapons that have the most modern components from the West.
There's no country that has experienced the level of renaissance in weaponry like those countries you listed.. especially, Russia! They're afraid of them and they wanna mess around to see it cuts!
73  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mining difficulty drops 6% in largest fall since bear market lows on: May 09, 2024, 03:29:19 PM
With fees no longer compensating are some miners shuting down?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5493786.0
This is exactly the same thing I pondered so hard about... If my memories can serve me well, I think I wrote alot of about it already.
Most independent miners quit as it becomes impossible to make profits - especially after every Bitcoin halving. Just imagine going back to the usual 25sat/Vbyte and a ton of electricity consumption and expenses, roughly beating down the general revenue....  Just appalling!
Quote
Are home miners going to get wiped out by huge companies that have access to investors capital and cheap electricity? Would that be a danger of centralization?
Not totally! I guess the companies would have the upper hand now.
Decentralization? Could you at least be precise on which area? If companies are diving into the business of mining coins at a cheaper rate, it's because they perceive it to be profitable.. That has nothing to do with decentralization.
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will blockchain survive the crackdown on mixers and anonymization? on: May 09, 2024, 02:37:46 PM
If you narrow it down to Bitcoin which operates on a decentralized bloclchain, it will definitely survive the attack on pruvxcy through mixers and coinjoin services.
Mhan, what are you talking about? Bitcoin wasn't originally made with some sort of maneuvers like mixers and conjoin as you may have it, these services came in after several years of yearning/struggle for privacy.  Not until several other mixers were introduced with a different motive, this time, to collect dirty coins, swap, mix and release cleans ones.. It's somewhat impossible for the government to investigate where and how those coins were traded, since the mixers are anonymously rooted.
The whole thing will only move most of all services and businesses from restricted countries to crypto-friendly ones. Mixers will no longer be called mixers, they will have a new name, and their founders will do it much more carefully and with more anonymity.
They got butt-hurt for getting censored by the governments... Why didn't they decide to keep their services a secret?
75  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is that one reason that motivates you to invest in bitcoin even at ATH ? on: May 08, 2024, 09:59:40 PM
Bitcoin touched new ATH in 2024 of around $69000. There is fear in some investors that there can be a big correction from here. But, there are many investors who are still investing in bitcoin even if the prices are near ATH. What is your one primary reason to keep investing in BTC even at these levels.
I normally don't find any reasons to invest in Bitcoin at ATH.. if you wanna be profitable, buy as early as possible!
Most investors are motivated to buy due to FOMO during bull season.Investors are always after making huge profit from their investment so they might also buy during new ATH because they have the expectation that the price will continue to increase.
Bitcoin is all about confronting your fears and buying at the right time, expecting the usual pump. If any investor is buying at ATH for fear of missing out totally, why should they buy at all? They could be a retracement in price movement at ATH and they all will be toast! Instead, why not invest on ETFs?

Edit:
You can keep waiting hoping for a dump and maybe in the meantime missing out on opportunities, who knows?
Why not go through proper analysis instead of making mere assumptions?
76  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust bitcoin holders? on: May 08, 2024, 09:55:34 PM
Since bitcoin promotes mostly anti-government, banks, etc.
Bitcoin isn't successful without Fiat currencies.. I don't understand what you mean by "anti-government"... I'm guessing that I'd mean a user being autonomous and against the govern's decision on censorships. In an actual sense, an individual can't counterbalance the effect of the government's decision so that doesn't count!
Quote
I am wondering; Do you trust bitcoin holders?
I wouldn't necessarily decide to trust anyone for the fact that they're HODLers like myself... Like I said earlier, it's NOT ENOUGH!
For me, it's totally anti-government and anti-bank as well. But due to decentralised behaviour, I am still holding. 
Would you believe that most bank directors and managers are HODLing Bitcoin like no man's business?
77  Other / Meta / Re: Are illegal services using impersonation allowed? on: May 08, 2024, 09:34:59 PM
There is still a campaign on this forum that you can use the site for exchanging coins anonymously even with tor or VPN but not banned because it does not go against the rules of this forum. Mixers are the threat and it is about converting bitcoin to bitcoin on those centralized mixers that were banned on this forum.
You're not totally correct bruh  Smiley
People are all out, looking for the slightest means to bypass the privacy ban/censorships. It's possible that they'd take an advantage of a casino that doesn't require KYCs, depositing dirty coins and withdrawing clean ones..  The forum isn't against casinos that don't have KYC options, it's against casinos that allow users to swap thier coins for either a coin of same value, or another altcoin.
It will be a cold day in hell before I send my passport picture to an anonymous website.
That's just the same as getting registered on a CEX. You don't use 'em at all?
78  Other / Meta / Re: Are no-KYC services banned? on: May 08, 2024, 09:15:50 PM
What if I use Bitcoin to exchange it for a shitcoin, and I use those shitcoins to buy Bitcoin again?
it doesn't really matter what coin you convert your "tainted" BTC into... The major criteria that a mixer possesses is converting whatever coin (dirty or not) into viable coins, and a nonKYC platform does the same - since every user's privacy is somehow guaranteed
There will always be loopholes, and this may become a risk for lenders at some point.
Not just becoming a risk for lenders; It'll only make the governs rejiger thier privacy scrutiny... Fuckin' dictators!!
Are cars, guns and knives under attack by the government just like privacy tools and crypto are?
The annual death rate statistics by guns and knives isn't as disturbing as the percentage of "dirty coins" that are laundered year in year out!
Quote
Would you say cars, guns and knives are in risk of getting banned just like no-KYC services are?
guns have been ingrained in the US already, mhan.
79  Other / Meta / Re: question on posting pictures on: May 07, 2024, 10:54:01 PM
It seems I can no longer post pictures I have in my imgur account.  What is the best way to post pictures these days?
it's somewhat impossible to post pictures from imgur. There's been a recent saga on alleged image proxies/ban..
I remember trying to host the imgur app; not just cus I wanted to post pictures, but because I thought I could have that free hand to manipulate their bbcodes, adjusting the L and W of the images, but that wasn't even possible.

I think talkimg.com serves more better than that. After so much stress of imgbb and imgur not responding, I had to search through the forum. That's how i found talkimg and it's been the best for me.

it's not surprising that you're good at rating categorically, every airdrop and testnets to know which would potentially produce at the end... But that's not even the problem here  Smiley I'd like to ask; Are you tryna promote yourself by saying all this things or what?...

Secondly, I've observed that you're trying too hard to convince people with the last statement you made - how's that supposed not to look suspicious already? We've known airdrops and faucets to be unprofitable timewasters , why should anyone even wanna trust whatever project that is?
