If you are so sure that it was your balance then, the display isn't a glitch. But if you're aware that you had never that amount then you're aware that it is most likely a glitch and so you posted it here.

And for that reason why you posted here is because you're not able to bet anymore and you ran out of funds. Since you've said that you're busy and doing some other things, you haven't monitored it and the best thing to do is to check out the history of your bets.

Because if you legitimately played plinko and you just lost all of it then that's a case close that you can't bet anymore and that's just a display but in actual, you have no more funds left. Refreshing the browser as suggested could load the actual balance before contacting the support.

do you go ahead placing the bet as your minds speaks or do only maintain to your limits whether it plays or not doesn't matter.
Both, it varies at most times depending on what I think and what I feel. So that means to me that my emotion is setting the mood.

Again why do you regret after putting smaller amounts and it happens the games went as planned and starts blaming yourself for not increasing your bet amount, maybe by now you could have cashed out big time.
That's normal but when you lose with that small amount that you've placed as a bet, you'll not feel anything bad at all because that's an affordable amount to lose.

How do you control this thought over your ends do you keep to your regulations of always placing bets with some limits or you place bet according to your mind and regrets after losing that amount for not following your limits?
Everyone is regretting when we lose every time we bet. That's the after shock that we get because we thought that we're lucky and it's gonna be our lucky day.

But when the results aren't favorable for us, that's when we get disappointed. Just accept the fact and realization will make you control your thoughts and emotions.

And that is because you've got no control of what's about to happen.

You seem to have a huge wagering with those sportsbooks that you've mentioned. And with that, I think that there are usually limits that they'll be flagging you down even before reaching certain amounts.

But if that's what it is and you're telling the truth, someone might be curious to ask for proof but if you think that you're not obliged in doing so, that's fine.

If you've got the same experience with those, you may check and try betcoin but read their terms about such limits.

with such amount that we are talking here, high likely that the casino will ask for kyc from him. and i believe he is ready for that. because most licensed casinos will ask such proof of identity and source of funds if he will channeling that big amount to the casino. i don't think any casino or bookie will miss such high roller in their site.
the OP should stick to bookie/s which are known respectable sites in the forum, and with active support. it is always best to have someone that you can reach out in case of trouble with your account or any issue encountered when you are playing inside the site.
There have been a lot in here and despite those that he's mentioned that are also reputable in the forum, there probably some problem that had came out and he just can't stay with those or he can't take anymore the strictness that they've implemented to him.

For high rollers and gamblers like him, it is for sure that the casino that he's been with is aware on how they shouldn't miss a customer like him. But depending also on the results, as we know, when someone consistently winning.

That's when they're acting and likely won't allow him to stay with them any longer.
664  Economy / Economics / Re: Do we truly need cbdc when bitcoin already exist? on: October 03, 2023, 10:25:01 AM
CBDC (central bank digital currency) are digital representation of a country's official currency managed and regulated by a central bank. The idea is to provide an alternative to digital cash allowing faster transactions and increasing financial accessibility.

Its centralized nature allows the government to directly issue currency to citizens at the whim of central banks

This obviously means that they can not offer the same level of autonomy or censorship resistance that bitcoin offers

The fact that its implementation can lead to potential surveillance and increase government control over finance is something to be worried about.

Considering the fact that bitcoin has earned an high level of trust, security and borderlessness from it user with an inherent monitory policy brings the big question;

Do we really need cbdc now?
Nope.

It's just the gimmick of the governments because they're seeing that the attention of their people are going on with the cryptocurrencies, mainly in Bitcoin. And in comparison and just to add some competition, they think that CBDCs are going to be par with it but it's far from what made people dwell into cryptos.

They already have their cash and digital cash which makes transactions cashless so there's really no need for any CBDCs if they already have their control over their fiat whether in physical and in online attributes.

There are already a lot of things for them, aside from these CBDCs, the digital cash or ewallets and typical payment methods, stable coins that are centralized and what more?

With such an opportunity to spend btc to buy luxury cars-
*Will you be willing to spend your btc to buy car from Honda?
I would love to do that as it will surely make some news in the place and might even get into the headlines, possibly.

Or any other automobile company that will follow the Honda's part?
I remember that it should be Tesla to be the first one to do this bold step but they just didn't and took their part only on it for being an investor.

*Which other automobile company would you want to also accept btc for payment?
Toyota.

*Is this news big enough to trigger market uptrend in the coming weeks, months?
Maybe, Honda is such a big company and they've got a lot of branches worldwide. But I don't think that there will be such demand that will come from their car sales through crypto payments.

_ Even though am a big fan of Bitcoin, it wouldn't make you filthy rich, unless you have a large capital, the real money is in the Alt where the high risk are, just pick the right one.
This is true in some instances but it's misleading to take people into the path of where a few became successful. While going into the path of Bitcoin, it's no doubt that this is the best investment that anyone can have and even for those who are just starting out.

_ Be patient because that is the key.

_ Control your risk; people mostly waste their money gambling on trades that gives only 1:1 reward ratio without remember  every $1 you waste could be $100 during the bull run or a year time.

_ Learn to sell: you need to learn to cut your loss, even though you are -70% , the left over 30% is reinvested than slowly grinding down to -99% because you are too stubborn to admit you are wrong.

_Dont give up: in crypto you will make bad investment, sometimes you will just be unlucky, just do not give up.

_ Take profit: if you don't take profit how can you be profitable? Don't be greedy, just take profit.
All of these factors when combined, you'll really get to that point that you'll sell and will be glad of yourself that you took the risk. Taking profit and learning how to sell is interconnected.

When you take profit, that's because you know when to sell and you will just do that when you're in profit and not because you're panicking and just gonna sell because you're too nervous so that's where being patient is coming in and so on.

I am always taking these predictions with a grain of salt because no one knows the future indeed. But with interesting add ups to what they're predicting, it's actually good to read the points that they're sharing as to why they think it's going to be like this and that.

We shouldn't be dependent on these predictions and make ourselves our very own. There's nothing to share it as long as there are interesting and valid points and why you think it really will.

At the end of these predictions, this doesn't change the fact that Bitcoin is volatile and proves that even more. Just like now, it's just a few bucks away until Bitcoin goes $28k again.
669  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin millionaire: Lucky or possesses more qualities that we don't have. on: October 01, 2023, 10:09:19 PM
_ Emotional control: one of the most difficult thing is controlling your emotions while you watch your assets fluctuates greatly, mostly if it's going down, without you pulling the plug out of fear, so i believe it's one of the key they have.
And this is everyone's worst enemy. Because if you can't control yourself emotionally, the tendency for you to miss the opportunities are high and it might even push you to sell at prices that you don't like.

You'll not consult yourself more when you're hitting it with emotions which is a terrible idea for investing and in trading too.

_Early tech exploration: They got into the industry very early which they took good advantage of, while others were guessing and still not confident about it. They bought Bitcoin at a very cheap rate when people where even afraid of spending a thousand box on it.
While many of them understands the technology that Bitcoin has brought which is the blockchain technology, there were also many of them that are just plain believers to itself without having that much exploration to the tech.

_ Long term perspective: They don't just buy, they look at it on the long run, they know when to take risk but at the same time they don't buy and sell with emotions.
I admire those early adopters that have seen already the potential of it in the long run. We're just like passerbys but then, these people really have set the expectation of many that Bitcoin by its history and cycle, is no doubt here to stay and could blow in prices in the next coming years.

_ Patience: they have the patience needed to steadily build their wealth over the long term.
Holding is a quality of patience and most of us that know and does hold have this quality. AFAIK, most of us have all of these qualities and even they say that it's quite late already in the party.

We're still early on it if you combine being long term and optimistic about Bitcoin's tech and being an asset.
670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: October 01, 2023, 08:47:03 PM
Who are Puppey and M_C fans here? There's a rumor that they might be seen in TI12 and might play as standins for the Team SMG.

Why? Again, just like the other problems in the past for their TI participation and it's all about the biggest and strongest opponent of most of them, VISA.

News:
MinD ContRoL Can Go To TI12 With Team SMG
Rumors: Puppey to play for SMG at The International 2023

Again these are still all rumors.

Possible if they have the means to cover for Puppey and MC's expenses. Pretty sure they're willing to look at this as an investment to move further ahead in the tournament. Idk why Valve is still not helping players get past the visa issues every year. It's as if they should already expect these to happen but they are simply not doing anything at all.
They will for sure but even with that capacity, the prize pool for this TI is too small compared to the past ones so they should agree on what will be the ending of their run together with the split share for the stand-ins and the actual players they'll replace.

It's so long that these issues have been existing and yes, Valve should always have that contact to the embassy to help these players get their VISAs but it seems like you do you with the whole process.

And apart from that, it seems that we've got lesser time to see a huge prize pool for this TI. It seems that Valve shortened the time for the collection of 25% sales of the new compendium. Based from what I have seen, the current prize pool for this is around $2.5M as for the collection as of typing this but this can still grow and more. We still got around 2 more weeks for the start of the TI.

With the contents of this year's BP, I doubt we'll be able to hit any significant milestones for the prize pool. TI might even regress its position as the most important tournament in Dota 2 if this is what's going to happen yearly.
There's no BP but compendium and it sucks. I will not be surprised if that happens that most players will be looking forward to Riyadh Masters when the prize pool of this TI isn't that much unless Valve actually contribute and add more to the pool.

~snip~
Not really new anymore on which tons of dota players or professionals wasnt able to attend whether on TI or even with those Majors or other tourneys just because of VISA problems.
This is indeed their strongest opponent i should say.  Grin Once your declined or having issues then for sure you wont really be able to play together with your team and
this is where stand-in do begins. Puppey and M_C? Well having these veteran players playing on a team then you cant go wrong with them though and lets see on how
far that SMG could be able to reach out.

Speaking about TI prize pool then its already that not shocking that they wont really be getting that bigger prize pool for this year. Why? they didnt really able to release that Battle pass earlier
but instead they are focusing on compedium and we know that TI date is fast approaching. There's no much time for the pool to make it big and also
with those stuffs given or could be acquired then its total shit. We do lots Arcanas and Immortals baby.
Yeah, there's no battlepass today and that's why many players don't like this compendium that they've released before the TI. It's like that this isn't a way to boost the sales and that 25% from the sales are too little for the prize pool of TI.

They should have done that earlier but we've got lesser time as the main event approaches. And talking about m_c and puppey, they're good choices for Team SMG because midone was a former teammate of Puppey and that's why it's easier adjustment for him and for the others as well.

I just feel bad for masaros and jaunuel since they were the players that have been with them through the qualifiers. However, I am sure that they've got a share on that whatever will be the ending of their journey on this TI.

-snip

This is going to be so weird. SMG a team from SEA region ended up having 3 players that is originally not from SEA well I guess the WEU region players are better but its just seems pretty weird if this rumours ended up happening
It feels not just weird but also bad, they are a SEA team but having M_C and Puppey to represent, this makes them no longer pure SEA team but even in the qualifiers, they've got already noone that's from the EEU.

~snip~

You know what, I dont think that the prizepool is going to even hit $5M mark at this rate. The increasing rate is pretty slow at this point and most people are ignoring this already so probably its going to end up on $4 - $4.5M mark at most. Heck yeah, even The Riyadh Master had $15M prizepool so its pretty lame for TI's prizepool to end up as miserable as this
Well, it's very likely that you're right with that but I am hoping that it can go up again for the players to have a larger prize pool. As of checking now, it's on $2.6M and there's like two weeks from now on to fulfill that.

If this is going to be the lowest since 2012 then players and teams are going to focus on other larger prize pool tournaments like Riyadh Masters.

~snip~

Actually puppy creates already a history that he makes attending all of the Ti events and course it's your privilege to have this offer even you don't have the team you've created but still you can go Ti and chance to claim the Aegis.
If the rumor becomes true then Puppey is the remaining guy that has attended all TI and it's a record and history for him.

There is still a 4-year delay in buying Bitcoin, but why don't you keep your BTC and get rich because you sold it at the time. And now that you are hold with it, you will be a rich man with a happy life. If nothing else, we must not follow it anymore. Bitcoin makes you rich and rich, makes our lives happy.
It's easy to say that we should hold and sell at the right time but that's the challenge when we're holding and trying to look for the right time to sell. That's the goal of many investors and that's to become rich and we're all looking forward for that day to come that the Bitcoin we'll be selling is on an ATH price.

And why some can't keep their BTCs? It's because of some events in our lives that we've got no choice but to sell. We can always buy back when the price goes down but if you'll check some older news, there have been whales as what we call them that are still up-to-date holding Bitcoins.

I am not that someone who bought that early but I'm happy despite not being that much rich, maybe the next years would be my lucky years although I am not in a hurry and I want to take it slowly but surely.

674  Economy / Exchanges / Re: HTX (Huobi) hacked, $8 million lost on: September 29, 2023, 05:03:16 PM
If I'll base that on their Facebook page, nothing has changed. They didn't even reported or posted that they were hacked unlike the other exchanges that have been hacked before.

So, they're boasting with that status based on their record where in fact that this has happened and yet they don't want to let their customers and soon-to-be customers know that this hack just happened recently.
It seems that even HTX twitter does not report any hacks unless the CEO himself reports, maybe this is because he wants to cover up so that there is no doubt from users?

Justin said - has established a SAFU fund in anticipation of another attack, they also said they will continue to discuss the security mechanism of the exchange.

That's why they never announced on all HTX social media to prevent the news from spreading widely, even though I know some customers already know that HTX has been hacked and with Justin's ridiculous offer.
I've tried to check again their Facebook account but there's no claiming and admitting that they were hacked. So I guess it's part of their plan and they're not going to tell anybody that they've been.

Although there's this post of theirs about Justin Sun too about:

Justin Sun, #HTX Global Advisory Board Member, brought valuable insights to the "Talk to Justin Sun about Crypto Safety Issues" live broadcast on Sept. 26th. He tackled security concerns in #crypto exchanges and more.

And there's this image of his on this particular post. They don't want to put it on public so that their customers aren't going to panic. Well, IMHO, that's not a good sign for their transparency.

A newbie account that mentions a name and then a service and specific websites that's being so called private businesses. @OP, sorry to say but it seems that everything is tailored that you're just here trying to make people believe that you're asking a legitimate question.

But the fact is that you're promoting the name as if there will be people that are gullible enough to get fooled by such.

If you're asking about who to trust in Telegram, you shouldn't trust anyone there. And if you're going to ask about reputable people from the forum, there are plenty of them and you can figure that out by checking the trust feed back.

They also offer escrow service and are trustworthy but not that random guy you've mentioned and those that were vouching for him.

He went on to say that as for the other 50% of their funds, mixin network is going to issue "bonds tokens" for the customers to claim, and the platform would repurchase it from them in the future.
Why it feels like I have some odd feeling on this one. Yeah, it's a temporary solution that they can provide to gain back the customers confidence about this incident. Not a hater or what not but isn't that we've seen something like this when the fiascos of Do Kwon has happened.

Well, the difference is that they're new tokens and not bond tokens or there's not that much difference at all with it.

But anyway, I guess with all of these platforms and networks that have been hacked with a lot of money. I guess that they all invested in security but the reality is that, no matter how strong the network and its security protocols are, all of them are prone to attacks and success rates of it are increasing.

You have some odd feeling because something is terribly odd. Feng Xiaodong not only sounds substandard, he's also funny ensuring that 50% of the users' funds are safe but it's going to be in the form of "bond tokens" which they will create out of thin air and will buy back in an undetermined time in the indefinite future. LOL! He at least knows how to crack a good joke.
Yeah, that seems to be the reason because we've seen this being done by some con before and as much as I don't want to think negatively about the people involved proposing this. However, it just really sounds off beat.

I don't know how secure the network really is, but it doesn't matter. All it takes is one foolish move and all security is pointless, something like your funds are in a cold storage and you kept the seed phrase in your Gmail drafts. LOL! They claim to be a "decentralized multisig" solution and they have a cloud service provider whose database stored the keys.
True.

One employee or one of the co founders done something wrong and true that one mistake in the tiniest that he can do, they're all going to fall down. Seems like that there's an interesting development on this one on how they've screwed up.

I say stable because I have been holding BFG tokens for 3 months, and from Coingecko's data it has only experienced a decline of 3-10% over the past year. I think that's cool considering the current price of Bitcoin.
That's true, looking at the performance of it for the past year. There's not that much drop but if we're going to take a look at the whole chart of it, although it's dropping it's not that far from the launching price.

The volume is low for this time so activities aren't that much and the movement of its price and performance isn't also a lot.

But we'll see if Bitcoin goes on another ATH, it will move all of these tokens including BFG.

Have they updated this news or are they still claiming that they are safe since 2013? I read some reports and found that Huobi cooperated several times to freeze hacked currencies, the last of which was several months ago, so perhaps this was the reason behind the hacking attempt.
If I'll base that on their Facebook page, nothing has changed. They didn't even reported or posted that they were hacked unlike the other exchanges that have been hacked before.

So, they're boasting with that status based on their record where in fact that this has happened and yet they don't want to let their customers and soon-to-be customers know that this hack just happened recently.

Well, I'd say if they really are believing themselves and trustworthy then they should at least made some announcement about this. Or maybe, they're just waiting for a cooldown and will tell this when everything's okay and calm.

If truly you've get to know people that can't ever pay their debts because the amount is enormous for them then why are you saying that paying debt for 12 years is exaggerated? In what way? Everyone knows how much they make every month, and paying back what they owe is coming from how much they make monthly, this is no exaggeration.
While it's just your example but I do find it exaggerated because if someone who takes a credit card and was able to reach up to 12 years of paying it, I don't think the bank would allow unless that gambler have left that debt for so long and ignoring his obligation.

But if it's not exaggeration to you, that's fine, we're just up to discussion and we've got different opinions about it.

This fellow have wasted 30k on gambling, and he has 28,800$ left to pay back, he made not less than $300 per month, and he said he can only pay $200 back every month, do the math yourself, $200 in twelve months is $2400 and in the next 12 years that is $28,800$, I was ridiculed because of this problem he invited into his life.
That fellow, as you've said, we all know how much we make but that guy is different and probably saw himself unguarded during that time.

I advised him to try making extra earnings, 12 years isn't a joke as he will end up working for the long term only to pay back his debt, what about his life? I advised him to figure out how to earn more money monthly because that's the only solution I can think of, it's not exaggeration,  it's something that's still fresh.
Yup, that isn't a joke and that's why I thought of it as exaggerated but if that's not really an example and true to life. Your advice to him is right, getting more source of income and work for it. That's the only way he can get out of that debt.

On his end, that's an exaggeration but he asked for and did it on his own so, he has to pay for it.

I have taken a look at Huobi's official Facebook page, and how ironic that before this incident has happened. A couple of days ago, they've posted and boasted that they've never had been any security issue. I'm not sure if that was the sign that exposed their security or it's just really a coincidence and they've never seen it coming.
