Addiction in gambling and having no control over your emotions can really make you do crazy things as what the OP has said.

Coming from professionals, to simple folks and plebs, there can be situations that we can expect that an addicted gambler will spend the money that they are not theirs.

Being responsible comes with a reputation that you bring to the people depending on the work or trade that you do. If you can't control yourself and you are touching people's money, you'll be ending up as a scammer. No problem if you lose entirely your money because it's yours and you are the one that has spent it but if it's other's money then it's a different story.

It's hard to accept losses and with that, we're forced to recover the money that we've lost and it's not all about greed but that's also a big contributor to it.

Another reason is the money that has been lost by a gambler could have been not his money at all. With that, there's a need to recover it or else he'll be the one to refund it.

But he won't lose money at all if they don't spend the money that they are not theirs. Sounds funny but this is happening in real life.

What does it mean that your "investment is way below the minimum withdrawal"? You invest on a platform and not with BTC I guess.

But going on with the details about investing just because others told you to do so. It's a wrong idea of investing, you invest because you have learned about it and carefully did your research before you've made decisions to invest.

Many still does it the wrong way and thinking of it as if they're going to gain even if they go to the shortcut way of investing in BTC or with any other cryptocurrencies.

That's the truth.

If you tell anyone that you're a gambler, they'd think you as a an addicted gambler without having any second thought. It is embedded to the thoughts of many that every gambler is an addicted gambler even not all of us are addicted.

We gamble but we're not addicted. That's the stigma as you've said that are in our society and there is no boundaries on this because in every country, it seems that it's always been like that and the case.

I agree that it's hard to get into them nowadays. They're almost everywhere but you have no idea on who's going to be next that shall pump.

Just as you, I'd rather go with the old and common ones than to compete with these meme coins as there is a lot of them and I can't figure out which is going to pump next.

If someone from here is able to profit from them from time to time, you're good and keep it up.

That's true because there's a negative point of view of the society when it's come to gambling. They'd judge you quickly and you shouldn't gamble then but still, you do it and chose to hide.

If there is no judgemental society and culture, many will simply be showy and won't be scared to say that they're gamblers.

But because of that mentality from different people that if you're a gambler, you're a wasted life and you don't even have a good life as gambling destroyed it.

That is what they think.

Not at all, when you deposit and won't enroll it to their staking pools or launchpools or pads, then that deposit of yours will be good as you're holding it without any return.

It's because there are people that are not for it. While we talk that crypto is for everybody, it only means that it's free for everyone to get in but not everyone is going to invest on it.

All of us have differences if it's about investing. We're risk takers but there are the conservative ones that don't believe in the changes and trend of the world.

Nothing has changed. When the market dips, everyone is disappointed but not the new comers. That's how the mood changes quickly when we're just looking at the reds in the market.

But I have never seen that the predicitons where gone when everything has been up and nice with people telling their high predictions.

Don't be so hasty.

Why you guys want to see your predictions or expectations reached when we're not yet even a month passed when the halving's done?

That 0-2 that they've taken was seriously have disappointed a lot of us. But, it seems that they've been awake right now.

Now that the series is tied, the Timberwolves probably are itching with their thoughts and having what ifs right now. What if this is going to be a straight win for the Nuggets until it becomes 4-2?

They honestly have been the strongest AFAIK but, true that experience is still different as Nuggets have been there and won't make it easy for them to pass.

I am not sure but it becomes a trend as well when we're getting to the bull run. But just as you, I am also hoping that no exchange will collapse this time, a big exchange.

That's why if we're going to use exchange, just use them as an exchange and don't keep your funds there. We do understand that they don't give private keys.

But for the beginners, they might not be aware of it and that's why they have to be reminded about that.

There have been a bunch of this the same thread.

It takes a while going to the physical casinos and if I'm living there nearly, I'd probably just spend time going there but no.

That's why I won't say that I am hyper focused but I'd say that online casino is what I prefer nowadays. The convenience that it provides to every gambler is timely.

It saves a lot of time instead of going there physically.

Exactly. I don't see the same difference on them but the prices of the cryptos that we're gambling. If you're gambling with some meme coins out there, you'd be happy to stay longer because you can gamble with millions of its supplies as long as the casino is supporting that.

For some gamblers, gambling with fiat is better because the value is stagnant and won't fluctuate at all.

How so? You're required to use banks or anything with your identity that you've been using with money remitting services or the same.

To be honest, I like it. I've just realized when I've read something about carbon footprint and it's said that we're helping our environment when do small actions like this and does transactions through digital banks or apps.

You can go everywhere, whenever you want and pay merchants on an instant scanning.

Not necessarily that all of them are classified to be using blockchain technology. Most of the digital banks are still the traditional banks that have made their own banking apps.

It's totally different from what we used to do with our own wallet making us our own banks.

Well, not just on Binance that this notcoin is going to get listed. But also many other exchanges will have it as well.

Looks like that this is going to be the official meme coin of the TON network then. I believe that TON have been too silent for years even if there have been news about it.

Well, I'd say that this one has become a success to them if ever they're going to make this platform as a choice of other projects too.

It's still a success for me since it has proven that they're true to their words upon hosting this event and the participants have proven that. Well, you have the point about it that only few participated but IMO, the success of it should be credited to them as the participants have testified that it's done well.

There are still a lot of things to be done but at least that's the first event(?) that they've hosted here.

Hopefully, it will be followed by another one and continuous with some twists with the prizes to gather more attention.

I don't see anything new to what has been said by that guy and what you have just brought in here. It's true that we pass on these prices levels that we have right now and then we'd surely proceed to $70k and up.

Everyone is believing that we're going to see these surges in no time because we're passed the halving and that's where we all believe is going based on historical facts and charts.

$100k and more is gonna be hit as a new ATH not this time or year but maybe next year.

And that's an amount that's quite high whether it's big or small amount but if the percentage is 20%, that's a lot.

It always boils down to the tip about spending what they can afford to lose. But tell that a hundred times, how many do you think will listen?

I don't think that an addicted gambler will listen to you no matter how badly you tell them that they have to spend only a decent amount that they won't be too bothered losing it.

Congratulations mate.

Looks like a success on your end tonpoker and you've got pretty much loved from the participants. We're waiting for what you think about what ahoybruase have said as a feed back to the event that you've got started.

Or they just like to watch you over as you guys played against each other. Anyway, again congrats to everyone and also to tonpoker, seems to be a successful event.

@OP, everything has been mentioned on how to do it. There's gotta be a harder time this time thanks to the authorities cracking everything down.

If not the best, this is one of the best to be able to purchase XMR from being anonymous.

There are still centralized exchanges where it is listed but what's sad if someone doesn't want to take that hassle, they'd go there.

There's no privacy in the government's stable coin and you're right with it. It's about another money produced by the government so with this. They have the cash and CBDC that they have full control on it.

Are they also going to take over digitally?

But what doesn't makes sense is they've got already the support of many companies making apps for them to be used for the transactions online and credit cards as well for the use of the fiat digitally so, there's no need for this TBH.
