62  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many Bitcoins do you own or have you collected until now? on: June 09, 2024, 08:59:17 AM
Nobody is foolish enough to answer this question honestly. Grin

Those who had collected coins back when bitcoin was in three digits have mostly sold and moved on but only being bitter at their past choices now if they are alive and kicking.

Much of the next generation is contemplating whether the buy or not buy. My take is to keep buying whenever the opportunity strikes and keep increasing that number but dont tell anyone about it.

The swearing ceremony will happen today and a lot of new face will get ministries. I am eager to see who gets the FM and IT ministry?
They will all be pawns of the current government. Either way whether we see improvements in crypto taxation system or exchanges being accepted as mainstream, remains a mystery for now which only time can demystify.

Keep your fingers crossed and continue to stack your coins on top of one another as bitcoin keeps rising.
64  Other / Meta / Re: Merit sources can join casino campaigns, it's a choice on: June 09, 2024, 08:45:31 AM
Being a regular in the Gambling sections, the quality of posts there is less as compared to other sections because most casino campaigns have a weekly specific quota for Gambling posts and thus we see churning out of similar posts and rehashed content in different ways of speaking.

Still I try to merit some of the posts that have some quality in them or actually discusses something that is on topic. But chances are low of me going to a thread and reading the 5*10 pages of replies and finding one post worth giving a merit to.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you really want from gambling? on: June 09, 2024, 08:40:15 AM
My main goal from gambling games is to be a part of the casino and earn from the players not waste money on their games. Its like the sly fox who works in the back. This can be in the form on investing and affiliate marketing, both of which I have tried in the past and the first one has been very successful for myself without much effort from my side.

Hence my goal from gambling is pretty much complete but it will run for long as I can sustain or the casino can sustain and I will also try to increase my portfolio of investments on other casinos in the future.
66  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling increases computer education. on: June 09, 2024, 08:37:47 AM
In other words computer usage than education. That is at least something as compared to zero computer knowledge among the older population which is common even in today's world with the increasing number of tech-related scams that proliferate in many countries.

Although being able to use a computer might provoke that person to learn more about computers and eventually this might have even better outcomes than gambling only.

The first cyber cafes that existed in many countries meant that people would visit them for getting articles from the net or play games or some other stuff (ahem, ahem Grin). Same thing can be compared to this older generation in this manner.
67  Economy / Gambling / Re: How high is the probability of accusations vs. casinos in BitcoinTalk are true? on: June 09, 2024, 08:30:23 AM
I have seen scam accusations with dozens of replies, where only a handful are helpful where people are actually trying to figure out what happened and suggest ways to solve the case.
In most cases so many replies are not required. If the problems seems easily solvable by some common methods, and those have been tried, we as ignorant by standers can only contact the casino representatives on the forum and politely ask them to review the stuff posted in the thread and help the fellow user out.

Adding more replies only drowns the relevant ones in a cesspool and makes it harder for someone to read through and work it out.
68  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't you think you should invest in Bitcoin instead of burning your money in fire on: June 09, 2024, 07:38:57 AM
People who are addicted to cigarettes get comfort when they smoke, they don't care if they burn money, but for those who don't smoke, they think that smokers are just wasting money because they don't know the pleasure of smoking, so in situations like this, don't blame each other, it's true that smoking is not a good thing, but don't immediately blame the person because in reality smokers also have the desire that one day they will stop smoking.
They are spending their money on buying something that is giving them temporary pleasure aka a Dopamine rush which is making them addicted to that same substance and also increasing the risk of many diseases to come in their future life.

What else you need to rebut your own claim? It is nothing "good" but all bad and the worse thing is that the companies that make these products never try to move their business to something else but to gimmicks that appear as safe, like e-cig which is even worse.

Protecting the next generations from these products is what every parent must go through. It is much better and easier to buy bitcoin with that or invest that money in any other place.
69  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Thai SEC approves first Bitcoin fund on: June 08, 2024, 10:03:41 AM
It is always a welcome news to hear about a bitcoin ETF getting approved, more attention means more price and gradual public interest in bitcoin as they keep buying it.

As per this website,

The average Thai individal earns about 2705$ while the maximum salary is 12041$ which makes the population rich enough to afford buying bitcoin ETFs.

Although I expect the Thai people to be investing in bitcoin directly more than buying ETFs.

I hope to pay in Bitcoin next time I visit honey 2  Tongue

70  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's use the cryptocurrencies and blockchain techology for good idea on: June 08, 2024, 09:55:59 AM
The question is whether the holders of that "memecoin" or "token" have any rights?
Do they imply ownership of the company to some extent?
Do they impart voting rights to the owners?

These questions have remained dubious since the start of ICO days. On the contrary IPO launched stocks will all have these properties.

You have to promise something to the buyers to be able to sell your idea to them and then use the money to develop that vision. It is not that simple as we speak of it.

Donations are different, here the donator does not have any connection to the project after the money has been sent, the project owner can use it any way they want.

All these have legal bindings in them when it comes to the Wall street and stock markets, this is lacking in crypto's so called ICOs, one of the reasons why they all turned scam or bankrupt eventually.

72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: June 07, 2024, 01:42:25 PM
I dont think that is the case at all. If you observe the public at a land based casino you will be surprised to find certain people who are on the machines for hours, going out only for the food and toilet and the coming back to the machines all day and night. They are addicted gamblers who live on these games and this is not different from the ones playing online everyday.

On the other hand we also have the once a year gambler who comes in the land based casino for a while plays, has fun and leaves to come back next year. But maybe this group does not attend online casinos ever, they visited the casino like a tourist.

OP should do a survey with the correct population to generate a proper study.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you understand entertainment? on: June 07, 2024, 01:38:54 PM
The neurohormonal rush that happens on gambling is something that addicted gamblers crave for. This is what drives gamblers and this is what the "fun" part comes from. It is an addiction, no doubt, but if kept under control it can be fun without having to get frustrated over the losses, which will most definitely come.

The best thing is to not gamble, but that is impossible for the gamblers to do in a single day. So the point is to reduce the  amount spent with any objective of making money from it and bring it to a fun level with the money being paid as cost of entertainment.
74  Economy / Economics / Re: Should there be a limit to investing in your children? on: June 07, 2024, 01:31:39 PM
It is the parents choice if they wish to invest in their children's future. The child's wish should also be taken into account and the money used in that avenue so that dissatisfaction in career choice is kept minimal. However in your country there might be a dearth of jobs because of which even educated people are finding it difficult to get one.

This is an ongoing crisis and the only way to solve it is to allow the child to follow their dreams and not depend only on the job for money. Usually different family members having different ways of earning solves some of the problem but in countries where the local industries are less extensive, this problem is common.

You did the right thing in buying in the dip, there was a big dump and everyone who understands stock market should have utilized this opportunity. If it is not a big issue for you can please disclose which stocks did you buy? Grin
Top banks of the country shhh Tongue

The market rebounded back after the election results day, so the time for buying is up now. For now just wait for the ministers to swear in and assume their offices and see how the market reacts to those news.

To me elections no longer hold any value, I am just interested in the side gambling that happens.
76  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it still possible to retire early? on: June 06, 2024, 04:32:52 PM
To me it is more like a dream that will never get fulfilled.

If you love what you do, you will continue to develop on it and reach new highs without thinking of retiring. But eventually as age catches up, you might slow and and in another way, retire by handing the baton over to the next generation.

But we can always inculcate the good values which include saving, budgeting and cutting down on unnecessary things. We should keep our long term goals intact and not get distracted.
77  Other / Meta / Re: Let's make bitcointalk great again. on: June 06, 2024, 03:24:22 PM
Messengers being the downfall of forums is not something I dont completely agree with.

The people who want to learn about bitcoin, talk and discuss about it with like-minded people will find a second home here, is what I believe in. However the forum could do some polishing on its UI to be able to engage the next generation, even though the status quo might be preferred by most of the people visiting at present, like 2FA was a welcome addition.

Like I said in another thread, if you call something is becoming bad, it will. It is your responsibility to make it good again. Get your local community strengthened and engage in its discussions to actually some newbie who is wondering in the world of crypto scams into the right path.
78  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? on: June 06, 2024, 03:14:06 PM
It is a dangerous thing to consider gambling as a source of income. Most of these paths are started on seeing youtubers posting gambling streams and appearing as they are earning from it. This is complete opposite of the reality and a twisting of the real facts.

Most people who earn from gambling do not gamble directly. They might be affiliate marketing for the casino, streaming to make the casino popular to their viewers and earn from their views and write books on gambling and sell but, but NEVER actually gamble.

As soon as you start gambling you enter the vicious cycle of loss and chasing the loss.
79  Economy / Gambling / Re: How high is the probability of accusations vs. casinos in BitcoinTalk are true? on: June 06, 2024, 03:07:58 PM
I have noticed a pattern that whenever a new casino comes to the forum, starts their campaign and starts becoming somewhat popular among the forum crowd, a scam accusation comes up and eventually get rebutted by the casino eventually leading to another account posting a scam accusation. This was much more common in the early days of the stake.com signature campaign and previous to that primedice and after that it was roobet.

Still the legitimate scams get solved and cleared nicely, only the ones where the player is at fault, dont get enough traction from the reputed members of the forum.

I actually used the opportunity to buy some of the stocks that dropped on yesterday's market and managed to inflate my folio by quite a bit. This was a good time to buy because panic selling happened with stocks thinking that BJP is going to lose and these are the times that the diligent investors should jump into the foray and catch the dropped stocks.

Bitcoin though, does not really care because this is not really a worldwide phenomena, USA elections effect it in a different manner.

I dont care about the election results though, only in my gains from the market.
