This is why I only gamble from time to time, when I feel I just need a break. But not to the point that I will do it regularly. And I will stop playing when I see that I am already consuming a lot of time on my game. I am not a regular gambler, so I can easily break the habit of playing. People should know their goals before even entering this game, otherwise, it is easy to lose yourself when you are already deep in your game.
It is not recommended to be a gambler who plays gambling every day because we will use more time just to play gambling and forget about the next activity that we must do. When we can manage our time and money to playing gambling, we will know when we need to break and do the other things. If we can do that, I am sure we can prevent becoming addicted to gambling. Losing the money will hurt us because we will not have a big chance to recover the losing money.

He has the most common Slavic face shape. I wouldn't say he has big cheekbones or a jaw. He doesn't have huge muscles and he looks like a regular guy. The only thing I noticed is that he's very wiry and fast. I don't think that ability can be trained or developed in any other way. Rather, it depends on the individual structure of the head.
Sometimes, we can underestimate someone who does not look like anything. But then, that person can show us what he has and that can make us amazing. Maybe wiry and act fast is his advantage or he will have other things that he is hiding from the public. Sometimes, it will be necessary to give a surprise or shock therapy to the opponent to make a wrong analysis about our power.

It was the benefit of being fully vaccinated and it helps to turn it back to normal transactions and activities. However, we should never be confident and we are still carefully dealing with others as there is a chance to become a carrier of the said virus. maybe if we all get fully vaccinated, we can easily breathe the air and the number of gamblers, opening casinos will also increase.
But we still need to wear a mask if we are in the public area or the casino because we never know if that vaccine can not attack us and it is better to prevent than to cure. I really miss the time to get free in the public area without a mask and I wonder when that time will coming again in our life.

There is no sign for us to know when the virus can leave us but I am sure the expert and pharmaceuticals are still working hard to find the best vaccine to eradicate the virus.
6144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is gambling taxed? on: June 16, 2021, 12:57:29 PM
It will depend on the government as if you live in the country, prohibit gambling, and play online gambling, no matter whether you lose or win, you will not get the tax. Maybe the losing gambler will not get tax because they already lose their money, but they can get tax for the winner depending on how much they're winning.

I do not know how the tax will apply to the gambler as I do not pay any taxes because of playing gambling. For the right answer, you can visit your local authorities to get more information.
6145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using renewable resources in Bitcoin Mining on: June 16, 2021, 11:32:54 AM
What you are saying is correct. The world will change, and the industry will evolve with renewable energy. I guess the mining company will also adjust their power with renewable energy. I think they already use it from a long time ago before the media blew the issue up.
Years ago, solar power is far from hands of the public and they can not use solar power. Today, it is very common from urban to sub-urban areas, from big to small companies, and in many nations.
If you live in a big city, maybe you can install solar power without a problem and you do not have to pay a high cost. But I am not sure that the developing country will have the same cost as the material will not be cheap as in the big country. So maybe for them need solar power needs to wait for a while until the cost can reduce.

But for home mining that is run by personal, they do not think about renewable energy because the cost will still be too high for them to install renewable energy. Maybe later, if those companies can reduce their price to install renewable energy, people will start moving from the current energy to renewable energy. If that can happen to all companies mining bitcoin, the electricity cost will reduce, which will trigger bitcoin to have more popular because the mining process will not make a problem in the future.
I think mining farms that are from personal investments or small group investments will adapt to. If they have demand to reuse power, energy, temparature, and the future technology is feasible, cheap enough for them, they will use it.

Everyone want to save cost if we can and mining farms do too. If they see benefit is bigger than cost, they will invest more. Mining rigs are not cheap, honestly but people still invest and participate in crypto mining.
At least, they will search for other energy to continue the mining process because if they still use the regular electricity, that can cost them a high fee to pay the electricity.

The rigs for mining still expensive and not many people can buy that hardware. Besides that, they need to adjust their hardware with the newest hardware to earn more rewards.
6146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does on-line compete with the VIP experience on: June 16, 2021, 10:35:12 AM
They are open 24/7 compared to some physical casinos plus online gambling sites have more promos and freebies compared to casinos that only offers free alcohol if you are a VIP, which is bad for the health and you also get the VIP treatment that you deserve in online gambling.
I prefer to get more promos and freebies than free alcohol because that can make us drunk and we will not know if we already spend too big money. With a VIP badge, maybe we can get more bonuses, but that will depend on our habit of playing gambling because some people do not care about VIP or regular as they only want to play gambling. But maybe the physical casino will also give more to their VIP members as we do not know what they will do with their VIP members. But both online and offline casinos will make sure they can satisfy their members.
6147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: June 16, 2021, 09:38:20 AM
It would be better if there's still site who can facilitate and offer anonymous gambling since we are inside crypto,
if there's site who can allow players to stay anonymous.

Though we all aware that government will come and chase those legal sites and ask for implementations of their rules.
It's not that easy to weigh if you are the owner, knowing that risk from the government will hurt your business.

Let see if how or what adjustment can be done here.
There will be a crypto gambling site that still gives anonymity to their members even if the government comes and asks about the casino's legality and asking for the KYC from them. The gambling owner will think about that and they will try to explain the situation to the government. I am sure there will be a solution for the members who do not want to give their personal information to the casino or the government.
6148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: June 16, 2021, 08:27:04 AM
I do not think many gamblers can hire a personal adviser because they need to spend more money to do that.
Advisers cost you more and gamblers are not willing to spend money for that kind of help, instead of doing it, they'll use the money to continue this activity.
I guess so. Only a gambler who has a lot of money will hire that advisor to watch them playing gambling and constantly remind them to stop.

Besides that, if the gambler is stubborn, he will not listen to that personal adviser and fire them up.
For sure, gamblers who are already addicted have the tendency doing this, the balance inside their brain is no longer the same.
Once they really enjoy the game, they do not listen to other people so hiring an adviser will be useless.

In this way, we need always to control the money and not use more money to gamble.
Limiting your money to make sure you are avoiding losing more, depends from how a person treat gambling.
In this matter, controlling the money will be the way for us to limiting the money to gamble.

Besides that, we need to control our emotions because that is the important thing that every gambler must do.
Emotions is very crucial, without controlling it can lead you to the worse point of being a gambler.
We already see many gamblers become addicted to gambling because they lose control. We do not want to be like them so we must control it no matter if that will be difficult.
6149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: June 15, 2021, 02:51:05 PM
It takes a whole lot to implement decipline when it comes to been deciplined as a gambler. Most times we are moved by greed thereby neglecting the fun as a result we get swallowed by our own greed which could lead to been bankrupt. Like sports and other investments which has managers . How about having personal manager and advicers assigned to individual gamblers it would help a whole lot

Human emotions are so complex and are our biggest enemy when gambling sometimes. When we are losing heavily then our brain will tell us that we just need one more bet to win everything bet, which is wrong of course. Our emotions will trick the brain to not evaluate risks correctly anymore. That is why we need to try and be a responsible and reasonable gambler. Like you said already, greed is a huge factor we need to control in our decisions making. A personal adviser would be nice for gambling, but can we afford him? He won't be cheap.

6150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 World’s Strongest Man on: June 15, 2021, 01:37:34 PM
For people who adore power, that site will give them more information knowing who is the strongest person in the world and maybe they will search for the site to place their bet. But for common people, they will not have much interest in that and will not think much about that. Maybe they can place a bet for that player but they will back to their favorite gambling games. We will see many new sports in this pandemic because people hunger to find the thing that can give them entertainment.

Fortunately, we are in the crypto world with a crypto gambling site to find the casino that does not have a KYC and does not apply verification for their member except for people who want to withdraw big money. We can feel it is better to stay on that casino instead of searching for the other gambling site because we need time to find that sites and we do not know if they will ask their member to fill KYC. There is an option for a gambler to choose where they will playing gambling, so that will be up to the gambler.
That kind of thing won't last that long though, as crypto gets noticed by more people, the more the government and authorities wants to dip their hands in those money and they want to put regulations in it as much as possible since it is a fresh moneymaker.
The government and authorities will indeed want to get their hands in that money. Still, they need to regulate a new law for the crypto gambling site and that is not easy because that will be related to many aspects and people in the government. While that thing is not going to happen quickly, we can still play gambling on that site and hopefully, there is a crypto gambling site that still does not use KYC for their members.
6152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does implementing a tax on a gambling platform really help a country? on: June 15, 2021, 11:37:27 AM
Tax really important in one country because the country can get more money to develop the country. Suppose the casino can give a big tax to the government. In that case, they can allocate the money to the important sector and build the country better. But I do not know about the percentage amount that the government can apply because that will depend on the casino income. I do not think that the government will use a high tax for one casino because it will make it difficult to pay the tax.

Maybe the online casino can give a surprise bonus to their regular members and make them comfortable playing gambling on their site. The comfortable will be the important thing that the casino should give to the gambler because that will determine if the gambler will stay for a long time or only spend a short time. The bonus will always take the member's attention and put their chance to get that bonus before it ends. Besides that, the casino can offer some new features for the gambler who often plays gambling but that feature will not be given to all members and only for the member who reaches their limit.
6154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: British Man Duped out of $282,000 in Brutal Crypto Scam on: June 15, 2021, 09:29:10 AM
Scammers are using crypto such as bitcoin for fooling, stealing people's assets, and also hacking websites, companies, and has been a huge issue in the cryptocurrency scene today. Because other people that don't have knowledge are blaming crypto, Recently seeing some news on journalists and reporters having negative comments too.
It seems the scammers find a new way to trick people by giving promises to them that they can earn fast money from crypto. That makes many new people in crypto not realize that trick and follow the offers and lose their money. If the new people can find more information and do not search for many good resources, they will not get scam by the scammers. If we read some offers that look too good to be true, we need to be careful and need to search for more info.
6155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Goes Down From a Celebrity on: June 15, 2021, 08:31:46 AM
Just use it to your advantage, if you know that they can  influence the market then follow them and look out for the cryptocurrencies that they are going to promote and invest in it and try to make a profit out of it.
That is what we should do if we know some good or bad news out there so we do not get the effect or at least, we can reduce the effect on ourselves. Famous people can do anything they want because they already have a big fan willing to follow what they said on their social media. So if we can see there is a chance for us to use that moment, I am sure we can make a profit and we do not have to worry or afraid with the next thing that they will say to their follower or fan.
we are just a small fish with no big power, but we can survive by going with the flow, and stealing a little food to stay afloat in the cryptocurrency market. that way we have to be cunning and clever in taking advantage of opportunities, managing all egos so that we can think calmly
Even if we think that we are small fish, that does not mean we can not use the moment to our benefit. We need to search for that chance to use it to make money, and I am sure that moment will always come to us, but that depends on how good we analyze the moment. It will no problem if we can not make a big profit at one time because we will have another time to make that big profit. And if we do not stop doing that thing, I am sure that someday we can get the chance to make a big profit.
6156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using renewable resources in Bitcoin Mining on: June 15, 2021, 07:24:23 AM
There will always be a solution to solve every problem for bitcoin. Using renewable resources in bitcoin mining is the answer, as we know that many resources are not yet used. So with the news from El Salvador that they want to use Volcanic sources of energy to mine Bitcoins will bring a new idea for people who wish to mine bitcoin. Wind power, water power, and other resources, even solar power, need to research before using them to help the mining process. So Bitcoin really brings a new way to change the world for the better because that will start invention in renewable resources.
Bitcoin mining is not too terrible for environment and media spreads it as the end of this world. They do it when Bitcoin need to be corrected after many months with Bull.

Above 35% of energy that is used for Bitcoin mining is renewable that is environmental friendly. Mining farms will use more sources from wind, water, solar and geothermal energy. And they can set up more equipments to use heat from ASICs for local demands. If governments are more strictly to enforce mining farms to do so, they will.

We witness it with many industries and in many nations. In first phases of industrialization, nations are very soft and easy with regulations for environments. When the industrialization growth reaches to a level government wants and the impacts on environment is bad enough, chances will happen.

Fortunately, industrialization does not die, stop or whatever postpone. Bitcoin mining and crypto mining will be adapted to governmental regulational changes as same as that.
What you are saying is correct. The world will change, and the industry will evolve with renewable energy. I guess the mining company will also adjust their power with renewable energy. I think they already use it from a long time ago before the media blew the issue up.

But for home mining that is run by personal, they do not think about renewable energy because the cost will still be too high for them to install renewable energy. Maybe later, if those companies can reduce their price to install renewable energy, people will start moving from the current energy to renewable energy. If that can happen to all companies mining bitcoin, the electricity cost will reduce, which will trigger bitcoin to have more popular because the mining process will not make a problem in the future.

We can hope that some reputations gambling site will still do that way to give anonymously to their members. Maybe if the casino is out of the government jurisdiction, the casino will not have to follow the regulation from the government, so they can still operate without asking KYC to their members. Hopefully, crypto gambling users can still play gambling without worrying about KYC and other things that can make them send their details.
We can only hope but we all know that the government wants to make sure that everything is going to comply to their demands, they can bully companies that aren't making trillions of dollars if they want too. Maybe there's some that will not force a KYC but I don't think that if there's a choice, I wouldn't risk it in those places.

6158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling becomes popular on: June 15, 2021, 05:23:49 AM
That's the main issue I always had with casinos. They let you deposit no problem, no questions asked. But out of a sudden they start their delaying tactics when it comes to pay outs, hoping you start gambling again and lose it all before you even had a fair chance to pass the KYC.

The sheer number of casinos is so crazy in the online sphere, but there is one and the same company behind many of them. It is a gigantic cluster of companies that are related with each other in one way or another.
If that happens often, maybe that will be the time for us to search for the other casino because I am sure that the other casino will not do the same. I think many of us have the same experience as you. That is why we need to be carefully selecting the casino and if somehow we got that problem, we do not need to use them anymore. That kind of casino will not grow bigger because they make their members problem and do not want to fix it. Besides that, we can easily find the other casino that can treat us better.

No advertisement intended, bu I must say that (from my experience) Cloudbet has been very reliable. I think they quickly understood that customer service is everything. Once a casino starts with delaying tactics, you won't come back.
If the casino really knows that servicing their customer will be everything to their casino growth, they will not make their customer disappointed. Instead, they will try to solve every problem from their customer and give a satisfying answer to see that they really care.

Giving services to the customer, whether offline or online, will be the important thing that the casino must do. Maybe right now, online gambling grows because people want to continue their habit of playing gambling. And online gambling can see that chance to offer them the best services.

And for your 0.4 BTC, I don't think that you need to convert it to altcoins.
I don't think he plans to sell his Bitcoins. Rather, just put more funds into alts.
Put more funds into altcoins can be a good idea, but I think he can use 0.1 btc to convert it to altcoins. In that way, he does not need to add or deposit more money and he can use that money for other things. I prefer to do that because that can reduce the risk by using more money in crypto investment. But all in all, he can decide by himself and I am sure he will know what he should do if he wants to invest in crypto.
