641  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: STOP telling people how much Bitcoin you have on: February 17, 2024, 11:24:43 PM
People don't need to know about our Bitcoin. There is no advantage that we share the information about our Bitcoin to others. If we want someone to know it, we just share the information to the very close people (wife, children, parents). The secret data about the Bitcoin shouldn't be easy to share to others.

If you keep telling people about the Bitcoin that you're holding, one day the people you told about your Bitcoin will plan evil for you. People are looking at people that own Bitcoin as very rich individuals because of the way Bitcoin has been rising and being on the news for giving investors profits. You might just be investing in Bitcoin recently but as you tell you friends that you have Bitcoin they might think that you have being holding Bitcoin for a very long time and your have made big amount of profits. Don't tell anybody about your investment so you don't becomes a victim of attack. Keep holding your Bitcoin and only tell your family members that involves your wife and children so if your suddenly pass away they can get access to your investment and not suffer when you have money in your investment that's growing.
It's quite inappropriate to tell others about your investment hand not even the closet person to you,  this is because when we talk about money,  most especially in an overhyped asset like Bitcoin,  many have misconceptions about Bitcoin investment and this is because of the lack of knowledge on what Bitcoin really is and how best to handle it as an asset.

You are right when you say that,  when people know that you own Bitcoin,  they will think you have a lot of money,  and not want to know how much of Bitcoin you actually own.

Bitcoin investment has to be done with high privacy and one of the unique features of Bitcoin is that it doesn't have a physical representative and at that,  you only give people access to your Bitcoin holding informantions only when you want to do so if not,  you can remain anonymous forever.

You or forum members aren't the eligible party to ask them KYC. They have doxxed the team with a license provider depending on the requirements.
To some extent,  we as forum member do not have the moral right to discuss anything as regards to KYC how much more than asking the casino team to prove their identity,  this is because as bitcointalk members we exist based on our user names and at that we are privacy conscious.

By asking casino teams to expose the identity may be acting a little out of proportion which at most will not lead to anything good in the long run.
643  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: February 17, 2024, 10:31:23 PM

1x(win or draw) mostly has small odds. As the result - you have higher win chance but lower prize. I prefer to risk but get more money. The bookie gives only a part of statistics - they need your money, so i prefer to search some additional information myself. Sometimes i can find that the key player is injured and the opponent team has higher chances to win than the bookie thinks. Such situations give us an opportunity to increase our win rate and profit.

In terms of collecting statistics and analysing it , bookies know when a key player in a team has an injured player and to the extent that it will affect them or not, so be rest assured that they compute all those before coming up with the odds in the options of the game. But sometimes a gambler gets lucky when a key player suddenly is injured seriously and has to go out or goes out through red card. So such opportunity is an advantage to the luck of the bettor who has made bet in the favour of the opponent team. The point is on the balance, bookies don't allow you a free winning opportunity, they always keep a tight option for gamblers.
LOL. Sometimes i see the team names are mixed up by the bookie. Try to bet not only top leagues and you`ll see the difference. The problem is that you have to find some fan site or board, or team site, where you can find this information. It takes lots of time and i can`t say that it gives you 100% chance to win nice odd. But if you have enough time - you can find at least several such games per week.
I don't know how the bookies get the analysis of the game but I must say that they do a great expert job and at the same time have put in mechanisms that always put the bookies at an advantage at all times,  this is what makes the big difference.

But the gambler on the other hand,  will have to put in extra effort to find out all the information that could help him make a better game selection since he aims to win the bet and also the casino is up for business,  most of the time,  this thing is based on luck and when you play in house games only then you will be at higher risk of in house influence
644  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Buying and Selling of Casino Accounts (Discussion thread) on: February 17, 2024, 08:53:25 PM
For me,  is not morally right to sell a personal account and both the buyer and the seller are both at risk,  the seller faces the risk of being framed up for a crime that he may not have committed most especially if the casino account is a KYC verified account and the buyer goes on to commit a crime such as an account being used to do money laundering act and the government trace it to the old owner since his documents and other information are used on the account before he sold it.

The buyer also is at risk of losing his money if along the line he runs into any problem on the casino and he need to prove his real ownership of the account,  so the risk in buying and selling of accounts depends on both the buyer and the seller alike.


This is why account sales of any kind are unwelcome to those who already have experience in the industry,  not only casinos account but any form of account dealing is wrong.
645  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who buys Bitcoin at $500k on: February 17, 2024, 07:53:58 PM
500k Bitcoin price is achievable in the long term and for that, we may not out rightly say that the analyst prediction is entirely out of content and in the long term we are going to see the actualization of those predictions, and reaching $500,000 will be something that we will achieved in the next couple of years to come.

But as far as I am concerned,  buying and holding Bitcoin is the best form of investment right now and for sure,  we may have the opportunity to buy more Bitcoin at a discounted price,  maybe below 40k before the Bitcoin halves and at that point anyone who wants to stock up more BTC against the next bull market.
646  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: February 17, 2024, 05:57:49 PM
Casino is a business, they will provide everything to convince gamblers to use their services but they will have hidden agenda behind them which most of the time gambler who don't read the terms and condition will be surprise what the rules to get the bonus completely, it's also a good part of being responsible not just with the deposited money but also by reading the terms and condition as if you know what's going to be the rules to take that out from the casino you will use all your options.
You are right about the fact that, casinos are business ventures and their owners are after revenue generations, and that makes it competitive for them to put up everything needed to keep them attractive to gamblers who are their main source of revenue.

But is the responsibility of the gambler to read through the casino terms of service even before you create an account on the site,  just like there is a need to read your electronic user manual before the operation to avoid getting stocked along the line.

So the basic responsibility is on the gambler to act in such a way that both he and the casino are on a fair balance ground while he plays in the casino.
647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you stick to some Casinos or do you try out new ones? on: February 17, 2024, 05:23:02 PM
Gambling on other casinos will not make you gamble more because if you are an addict, a single casino is enough to spend your money and be losing.

Gamblers may be gambling on many sites, but I noticed with me that I prefer just one of them that have the best features that I need.

Do I gamble on other casinos? Yes but not frequent.
gambling in different casinos website will make you spend more than your budget, so it's advisable for someone to change a gambling website if it doesn't find the one he or she is gambling with properly, because I know quite well that gambling website especially casinos gambling website sometimes some of them will not give you what you want, so instead of you making use of different sites it's better and more preferable that you use one particular casinos website to gamble and when you not comfortable with such you can switch to another instead of establishing different gambling site, I think it will course a gambler more expense
Regardless of what the individual reasons for gambling on two or more casinos may be,  we have a few reasons why most of the gamblers never stick to one casino,  and that could be traced to what the fun they expect is and how best does casino offers them that bonuses that keep them motivated at all time.

Bonus and fun-seeking are what pushes many into diving into new casinos instead of remaining at the old casinos that they already have records on.

If you ever come across the saying that the newer the win,  the better the taste,  something with casinos at least to some people and not all,  because for me,  I have stuck to Stake Casino for a while now,  and I am not going to change my mind about that even if more promising casinos come up at any time with better bonuses.

It is not true @Onyeeze where you said that the more the casino a player uses the higher his losing chances,  it doesn't work that way because even core addicts can't gamble on two casinos at the same time,  so the spending is still going out through one channel.
648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos team identity on: February 17, 2024, 04:51:07 PM
This is simple to figure out the reason behind team members' privacy, and as such, I may have to outline some key possible reasons that make casino teams to operate in anonymity.

1: it rather for security reasons since knowing their identity will put them in the grave danger from both thieves and those who may have lost heavily during their time at the casinos.

2: they are identity may be used by scammers who may want to scam others by acting under a false identity that claims to be the team members or so.

If you check vividly you will see that there is no need to expose to the public who are the operators of the casino and since this doesn't affect their work in any way and licenses cover the security of players,  having a license covers the need for the team to go public.

And reason why casinos ask for KYC from players is to fulfil regulatory demands since the government are those who mostly uses KYC for security reasons and the casino as a business may not really need that KYC since the aim is to have an abuse-free operation and generate as many profits as possible.

650  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: help me choose the best possible ALTCOINS for 2024/2025 on: February 16, 2024, 11:32:08 PM
I think memecoin can never be a long time investment because if you check the memecoin market you will see a lot of deaths. But for me why you only Btc fund can be best where risk amount is very less and more secure than other tokens. You enter the altcoins market in preparation for a bullish market and buy some of the top altcoins that will give you the best returns. Also do your research and strengthen your attitude before taking any hasty decision.
When it comes to this kind of discussions,  memecoin should not be mentioned because I don't take them to mean any kind of investment but just a gamble,  this is the highest I can consider them to be and at best we should just take them to short term speculations since there is no clear direction or road maps to their existence.

So for sure when making a suggestion on how to get the best coins to invest in, we should stay away from meme couns since their aim is just to exist as a joke and nothing more than that,  we have seen other valuable coins that we can recommend for upwards reviews by the ops such as bnb,  ethereum people coin and dogecoin even though the last two are memecoins but their still have a track records of good success in the market.
651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: February 16, 2024, 11:22:53 PM
Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?

I have this problem, and based on my personal experience, I find that sometimes I get challenged but not too greedy because I don't have a problem quitting when I'm winning. However, when I'm losing, that's where my struggle lies.

That's why I shared it here; I feel that some of you may experience the same challenges, and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.

Most of the people who lose emotionally in gambling are because they can't control their feelings so they can't think properly about what they are doing because they are too carried away by their emotions.
Controlling your emotions is important when you gamble, you can set a budget to control yourself so that when you lose you won't feel upset or anything else because that loss is budgeted so you don't have to chase your losses. If you often lose gambling, you should stop, you know when to stop gambling. You must also have self-discipline because it is also one of the most important things when you gamble.
a few time that I was a victim of emotional gambling,  I always lost,  like last week when I got my pay in my stake account,  instead of gambling along my already laid down rules and principles of not staking and betting with more than 10% of my total weekly earnings,  I got carried away with the possibility of winning a huge amount t and by that, I staked my entire earning for that week.

And even when I almost won the bet with almost 80% cash out of the entire winning,  I become so greedy and wanted the match to end so I could walk away with the entire winning amount,  but unfortunately, the other team equalized and at the end, I lost everything,  then I realize the danger of gambling along the emotional line.
652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Relationship Between Cryptocurrency and Traditional Banking on: February 16, 2024, 11:09:36 PM
Cryptocurrencies are not threats to traditional banks. Many countries banned bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies in the past but after some of them know about what cryptocurrencies are, they unbanned them. Today, all countries that accept cryptocurrencies and the ones that are very friendly with them have no problem, their banking sector has no problem. You can even see in those countries that some banks are allowed to hold coins and tokens for their customers. Banks can even embrace cryptocurrencies.
We are far from the misconception that Bitcoin is a threat to the traditional financial system,  banks have misled governments on the real ideology and role of Bitcoin in the economy and for sure cryptocurrency is just an alternative and not a replacement for the traditional financial system.

But now some countries are beginning to have a better and clearer understanding of what role cryptocurrency plays in the financial system and at that, they are beginning to take advantage of the freedom and independence that comes along with cryptocurrency,  but for now, in my country I haven't seen any bank in my country making public ownership of bitcoin or any other coins since the central made a reversed statement on the ban of bitcoin and other digital currencies
653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowing when to own your bitcoin on: February 16, 2024, 10:59:24 PM
There is no time is right to buy Bitcoin you can buy when you have the amount of dollar you want to buy with, there are people who haven't heard about Bitcoin yet but if in future they hear about it they will be interested to be an investor….will you say is the right time for them to buy or not the right time due to the rapid increase in Bitcoin one can choose to buy now that is right time for him others can choose to buy tomorrow that is right time for them.
what makes the difference in bitcoin investment is the available cash flow to buy as much as you possibly can,  because even if you bought Bitcoin at the current price,  you will still be in profits by the time the bull market comes so for me there is no time such as right time to buy Bitcoin regardless of how much you bought it.

It can only mean something she you want to buy a small portion and holding for just short term,  but as long as long as it is for the long term then pricing bean all all-time high is still a good buy price for Bitcoin.
654  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy BTC NOW? on: February 16, 2024, 10:46:05 PM
Im too wussy to say yes to this question because it seems high risk to me.    In terms of hype, trading momentum and a positive atmosphere then yes now is a good place Im looking at the chart and its a definitely a possible breakout which can lead to fast gains.    Fast up very often means fast down also, so its not an easy game.    You can play it as a trade, I'd equate it to riding logs down river to deliver them; efficient fast and very dangerous but some like these ideas.  I'm more the type to advise buying in low prices as much nicer bigger gains but possibly taking years.
I have same feelings like you also because at the moment Bitcoin is too expensive and since the anticipated bull market is still far aways and 50k+ is such a high price already,  am afraid that jumping into investing in Bitcoin right now may be a big ball in a small cycle and at that you may be over stressed before the full value pull out of the current cycle,  so for that I may have to wait for a whole with the hope that Bitcoin price may give a discount opportunity before the main ATH which is right now unspecified in terms of timing.

When it comes to bitcoin,  it is best to buy at a relatively low price instead of jumping in at the wrong high price which will automatically increase your waiting time.
655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: February 16, 2024, 10:37:44 PM
Your emotions could actually do either way. If you are losing and you have become emotional and you want to chase that loss, you might end up losing even more. But if you won and you are also emotional and you are afraid that if you continue to gamble you will lose your money, then you will definitely go home with a win rather than a loss.

Emotions could indeed interrupt you in gambling, but it could actually be for your benefit rather than for your detriment.

You kind of correct on the roads that emotions can work, either for putting fear in your and you find the escape route by not playing again after winning or by making you lose control and getting you to commit yourself into further and continuous playing. However, the stake for continuous playing as far as emotion is concerned is higher and that is why gamblers lose more. Human has an element of greed and so it will cause continuous playing to win more.
So which ever ways,  emotion is a bad actor in gambling and at that we need to over come it while gambling and for whatever condition either be is winning or trying to recover from a loose trend,  we have to work on our emotions to the point that we put it under full control and by avoiding it influence in our decisions while gambling.

We need to accept that gambling is far from emotions and feelings and that it's all about principles since without those principles we can't make any viable decisions that can help us in any form and at any point can we help ourselves to make better decisions if we keep emotion in play but with the principle we can just apply such to our daily gambling life and also make such advancement that will end us in a good position at the end of the day e
656  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The increase of altcoins on: February 16, 2024, 10:25:26 PM
Altcoin investment is a gamble and with the high rate of scam projects headed by fake teams,  there is a need to do adequate research before we put our money down on those coins,  right from the 2017 altcoin boom,  the market has been flooded with tons of coins that never make anything good for their investors unless for a few of them that have a good user case and ecosystem that support their liquidity and value.

And just like some other members already mentioned Ethereum,  BNB and other exchange coins are in that category of the only viable altcoin,  all others without such community support have all ended as scams or other dump coins.

So as a newbie, I advise that you look away from altcoin for now and concentrate more on bitcoin and the few other coins available.
657  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My wealth plan in the next 3 years from today on: February 16, 2024, 10:17:51 PM
A three-year plan would be a nice cycle and a wait for cryptocurrencies. Focusing on only one coin as your investment choice and that coin not being predictable at the moment can be very problematic. Yes, it would be better to leave money in cash. Cash is always important to buy at support points, but you need to reconsider your altcoin choice and at least consider spreading it.

However, the final decision is yours and this is your journey, who knows, maybe Tron will be a good decision.
This is true, because giving a coin that has no history of records and at a base level a three-year investment plan is a risk too big to take at some point and this could possibly result in severe losses at the end and for a better experience and to be in a good position one need to invest in coins that already have an established record and track records,  instead of just risking your investment on an unknown coin,  I suggest that one should hold coins like Bitcoin and some of the few altcoins that already have good track record in the market.

If I must choose any altcoin as an alternative then I will first of all consider ETH and a few other already listed coins that are already doing great in the market,  so focusing on one coin may be risky and at most the expressway to losing because you put your eggs in one basket which is a bad choice in coin investment,  there is need for diversification.
658  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pepe coin. on: February 16, 2024, 10:02:36 PM
This is far from the truth and Mark Zuckerberg is not in any way related to Pepe Coin Although we had a few stories about the Facebook CEO wanting to dive into the world of token development,  but we haven't seen any development in that regard yet and in recent time,  Mark may have shifted attention to some other things aside from token development.

I believe, that even though Mark wants to develop a coin,  it won't be aimed at overriding the existence of Dogecoin or even be a competitor in any form.
659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: February 16, 2024, 09:06:29 PM
When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?

Interest Ask. I'll tell you what I heard about this. In religion, people rely on God, his plan and his power at work in our lives. There is one God and there cannot be another. While previously, non-believers worshipped the goddess “Luck” and believed in her, which is considered unacceptable in many religions. There is God and his power and hoping for luck is contrary to religion
While we are at that,  we should also take a closer look at what we mean by God and religion,  because when it comes to sensitive discussion topics such as this,  we need to make out adequate analysis of the subject matter and to wholly separate them from one to another.

Gambling is restricted by some religions,  but we can't say that gambling is entirely an ungodly activity such as other sins such as stealing,  killing or other severe sins that are outlined in the Holly books,  so gambling is only frowned upon by some religions and at that we may not conclude that all gamblers will go to hell based on how the religion made it look as what makes that religion to have such harsh stand against gambling is the fact that gambling outcome could be a severe outcome that could affect everyone in theost negative ways,  and this only happens when the gambler is irresponsible in his actions.
660  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are most scammers from Nigeria? on: February 16, 2024, 08:47:23 PM
Here in our country, there is what we call a "love scam".  Most Nigerians will engage with naive local women then extort money from.  Some of the victims that I know stated that they will ask for your bank account then they will use it for money laundering.  The will transfer large amount of money then transfer to other bank accounts.  They do not even know where the money came from and the Nigerians will not reveal any information about it.  But because of their relationship and love and trust with the Nigerian, they will just permit them to do their thing and continue using their accounts for money laundering.
If you are from a country that has a system that works,  such an account owner is in danger of being felt with as the first responded offender and he goes to jail for being so stupid to allow her account to be used for such unlawful transactions,  I read somewhere on social media where a woman carried out to the public about her husband arrest and detention because he allowed a scammer to use is UK bank account to receive a large sum of money for a scammer from another country a d being given percentage.

Some of these scammers have a large network base and have spread across countries,  using one another to perpetuate such acts and sharing the percentage.

So for that,  we can't really say for sure which country scams the most, because most of those scammers work as groups and sometimes even bank staff are part of the scam network.
