The first thing that you need to do is don't store your asset in the exchanges in a big amount because that is the prevention that we can do from the hacking. We don't know if the exchanges can still protect their site because the hacker will search for the bugs, and they will penetrate inside the website.

You can store your asset in a separate wallet, and don't connect it through the internet if you don't want to send the funds to withdraw or trade or else. Make sure you don't browse or visit on the strange website which you don't know if that site is safe or not. I think you need to have a pc or laptop that will only you used for trading, sending the funds, and not used to browsing.

Many things that we can do to prevent hacker, but we still need to be careful while we are online on the internet.

That story will happen again in the future, especially for new people who involve in crypto. If they don't learn more about crypto, and how they can store their asset, they will get a scam. It is not just happening in the crypto world, but it also happens in real life, so we need to be careful if we want to invest in something. Make sure we can research before we invest, so at least, we can reduce the risk, and the important is we don't use too big money to invest.

The scammers can convince people by telephone or text message, and that is happening in many countries because people will attract to that thing if they see about "money" inside the conversation.

There are so many countries that have banned online gambling, including the country where I live. But fortunately it still can
accessed using a VPN.
You have less chances of getting caught using a VPN however VPNs is also risky in gambling, you'll fall in not very ideal situation when the casino caught you using a VPN and found out that you are from a restricted country with strict ruling in online gambling. I call it not fortunate coz you can access using a VPN, I call it gambling yourself to gamble.

Although you have fewer chances of getting caught, you need to be careful because your ISP has your access data, so your ISP can still know what sites you are browsing. And if you lived in the country which gambling is prohibited, your government can ask the data from your ISP, and they will investigate every customer's data.

Perhaps, we will be okay if we don't use too big money to playing gambling, so we can avoid the investigating by the government. But still, it is not easy to regulate online gambling because that means related to the regulation of gambling on the internet. After all, the gambling website itself will not try to host the site in the country which gambling is prohibited.

~snip~

Physical casinos are not very popular with the younger people. The older generation want to go out and interact with other people, while most of the younger people stay glued to their smartphones and laptops, and rarely interact with anyone other than machines. Now coming to cock fighting, it is something that can't be done online. This tradition is thousands of years old, and those who don't know about it should not be critical about it.

The young generation rarely interacts with others except for their friends because they are too busy with their gadget. It is not just in cockfighting, but it happens in other traditional gambling games which have a place in a local city.

It is the risk of technology growth, and if the young generation is not taught about local culture, so when they grow up, they don't know about that. Many others of local culture that has been forgetting by the young generation and that is not just about traditional gambling.

~snip~
Different countries have different mindsets, here it doesn't matter old or young, only a few people believe in this pandemic, most of them think that Coronavirus is nothing. So that most of them are still doing cockfighting in hidden places. Apart from that, online betting with Cockfighting is very different, they cannot play this kind of bet online. To this day, I have never seen any online cockfighting bet found (CMIIW).

People who don't believe this pandemic will see it is real once they got infect, and they will regret it because they underestimate the virus. Usually, in some city which cockfighting is popular, people will play in hidden places, but that will not safe for them if they don't apply the health protocols from the government. But it seems, people don't care about health protocols. They don't' use social distance.
6945  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it alright to invest with bitcoin at the current market price? on: September 03, 2020, 05:55:49 AM
In my opinion, it is not the right time to invest in Bitcoin because it can go down very deep and you will lose money. It happened to me before. Take a look at the Bitcoin chart in the last few years to see what I am talking about.

As long as you can analyze the trend before you buy, you will have time to buy at a low price, and if you are a worry for the next downtrend, you don't need to buy with the big amount because you will need that money to prepare to buy more at a lower price. Yes, the bitcoin price can go down very deep, but we should not worry because that is always happening to bitcoin, but if you can hold bitcoin for a long time, bitcoin price will increase and surpass your buy price. The important is you know when you need to sell bitcoin, so that makes you have a target price to sell.

People can invest in bitcoin anytime, and they can buy bitcoin at the current market price, but make sure you can know when you can enter the market, so you don't have to worry. If you can have the skills to analyze the price, you will see when you can sell bitcoin.

Usually, when people know about the new thing, they will underestimate and let it go without searching for more. They become passionate and interested in that new thing when that thing becomes popular, and many people already use it. That is what happens with the crypto world because many people know the crypto from 2017-2018, but suddenly the crypto price drops significantly and makes many people losing their money. So they say that crypto will only eat your money and you will not have a chance to make a profit in the future.

Other people follow their suggestion and not reach the crypto world again, but this year can open their eyes because they see the crypto market can rise slowly and touch more than $10k, and now the price stays at $11k. They will amaze again when they see the price hit $20k or more because they never think that bitcoin price can touch that price in the future.

even they are no a online gambling, some of them will not take a part for this kind of gambling. Because they are thinking about their hobbies to gambling face to face with other players. We are can't stop them take the risk of their health and life. Another reason, they may still play in traditional gambling is they are doesn't interest in online gambling.

But for the young generation 25 years old above which know about online gambling, they will choose online gambling than offline gambling because they can play anywhere they want. They don't want to risk their health and lives to just playing gambling, and they will take care of their health by playing from home. We can't stop them, but I am sure they will have awareness if the virus still out there and risk their lives.

Not all countries allow traditional gambling to reopen because of the case of the infection still at high. The government won't take a risk by reopening the crowded place without applying the health protocols.
6948  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What I think will be the top cryptocurrencies in 2021 on: September 02, 2020, 07:39:15 AM
It seems @OP has its list on his hand. But I have my own list too. And here it is:

1. BTC
2. ETH
3. LTC
4. Dash
5-11 * secret  Wink

I don't want to tell you about the other coins, which I think that coin can be the top cryptocurrencies because we have different coins that we hold.

But I think in the next bull run will surprise us because many coins will increase high to change the position of the coin at the market. And we might see unpredictable coins which can follow to grow too.
6949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not so far from getting BTC globally accepted! Pornhub now accepts BTC & LTC. ;) on: September 02, 2020, 06:37:51 AM
So people who subscribe to PornHub don't need to use their credit/debit card to be their member. Using bitcoin and litecoin, they can hide their identity because the PornHub will not know who their members are. But people who subscribe to that site need to think about their ISP because some ISP will block access to porn and gambling websites.

With so many people visiting on the PornHub, it will give another promotion for bitcoin and litecoin because people will see that now they have another option to subscribe to the PornHub. It can provide more time for bitcoin and litecoin to have new people who will use bitcoin and litecoin which the porn industries promote. I think there will be another promotion from other industries that want to introduce cryptocurrency to the public.
6950  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What advice will you give to a beginner trader? on: September 02, 2020, 05:25:50 AM
I would advise the new trader to learn more about analyzing the market, and if he wants to start trading, the better limit the money before he has good skills to use bigger money. Many new traders use too big money to buy the coin, but they don't' have good skills to analyze the good time to enter the market, and they will end up buying the coin at a high price.

But if you only want to buy and hold the coin, you need to buy at a low price to hold it for some time and sell it when the price increases. You don't have to bother with the fluctuating price, which always changes because you have a target price to sell, and you don't worry if the price is down again because you will buy more amounts.
6951  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto.com investment app is it a good deal? on: September 02, 2020, 04:09:50 AM
I read many reviews from crypto.com wallets, and many of them saying that they can make a nice return in investing using that app. I don't want to use that app to just investing because that means I will let them hold my coins without I know what they will do with my funds. I prefer to hold by myself, or I will use the exchanges to invest because I can found that Binance allows us to save some coins with them, and we can get a return every month with them.

If you want to invest using that app, make sure you use the funds that you don't use for anything because that means you will not worry about waiting for the return of the investment.
6952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: COCK FIGHTING: COVID-19 health protocols violators, caught on: September 02, 2020, 02:07:56 AM
Cockfighting as a traditional gambling game, still be favorite the gamblers, and in this pandemic, many of them start to play that in a secret place, especially in a house that doesn't use anymore. Many of them don't care about the Covid-19 because they don't wear a mask in a crowd, they don't use social distancing, and who knows, they don't carry hand sanitizer too. It happens in many countries because people tend not to follow the rule when they are in public areas.

I think if they know about online gambling games, they will try to play from their home so that they can prevent the infection, and they don't have to worry about the virus.

It is not easy to remind people who play traditional gambling games in this pandemic because that is what they did in their free time, especially for people who live in a small town.

Gamblers were not having the same stand on this because some gamblers wanted to get centralized to get protected from the government from the gambling abuses and others does have trust that much for they think they do not need the government or any third party protection.

In this case OP have stated that it is all about regulation on limiting bers per month every gambler. I think it is possible but mind you that it will not going to happen because gambling platform that has no regular gamblers will going to take losses operating and getting small ROI or no ROI at all. However, limiting bets will possibly be done to bigger gambling platform. And if it will going to happen pretty sure that gamblers or gambling sites will find loopholes to bet on the way they wanted.

I wonder what kind of protection that the gamblers wanted because I think the gamblers only need to protect their money from the loss, and they don't need to spend too much money. If we talk about the online gambling website, we will have the option to choose online gambling, and we have a recommended online gambling site to play.

But unfortunately, many people don't want to just on the recommended gambling website, but they are trying to play on the new gambling website, and in the end, they got scam by that site.

Limiting bets should be a job for the gamblers itself. The gambling website can do that, but they need approval from the gamblers because they have that money and want to spend that money. But some gamblers forgot to limit their money, so we see many of them losing their money in the end.
6954  Economy / Speculation / Re: Your plans for the coming bull on: September 01, 2020, 05:39:10 AM
The 2016/17 bull run was just for about 9month and it hit around $20k, I never thought it will end so soon then,while I was still strategizing on how to get the best of it, the time was up, it was like a movie as it was sliding down gradually,hoping it will rise till today, the few project campaign I participate in then were just what payed me well, few of them dropped their token which I never touched till today because they have so much lost value, now as the bull run commences,let's say it runs for a year, how many project campaign do you plan to cover within the period?

In the next bull run, I hope you can have your strategy, so you don't have to miss the chance to sell at the new ATH. We don't know when the bull run comes and when it ends, but if we can watch closely at the market, I am sure that we will see the sign to sell at the right time.

It is all about the strategy that you need to make before the bull run come so that you can prepare yourself and your coins. Besides that, the most important, you need to set the target price to sell because from my experience, we can be greedy when we see the price start rally to the high price. We forget about the target sell price because we are too greedy to make another biggest profit. Meanwhile, the price itself already touch the highest price.

  • My favourite quote: "Only an idiot would scalp cryptocurrencies on Binance. You should day trade them instead. -Satoshi Nakamoto"

Scalp cryptocurrencies? Do you mean scalping trading? If yes, I would say that it only works for you if you have skills because I see many of my friends doing scalping trading and making much profit. Day trading will also allow you to make a profit, but you need to have skills to scan the coin at the market once again. Without skills, you won't be able to get the right coins.

As I remember, Satoshi disappears before Binance launch, so that is not Satoshi quote Cheesy

As long as people will no need to send their money to pay in your group, I think people will agree to join you. But it is not easy to handle those people in one group because every people will have their reason to join your group. But good luck to you, @OP.

I don't get the reason why it seems to be illegal to gamble, because if we have tons of money and we use our own IP while gambling, there's still nothing wrong with it. ISP's will not broadcast it anyway because of privacy reason. But the reason why I think most of the gambler who does this is because they want to hide to avoid paying taxes. Or maybe, they have funds that are't came from legal ways.

ISP's do actually store your browser history for about 90 days, just in case the government needs to see or monitor you.

Yes, it is nothing wrong with that. But probably, the government wants to remind people not to gamble because gambling can make you have big losses. So in some countries, gambling is prohibited, and besides, some of the religion also prohibits gambling. But people still don't care about that, and they still playing gambling.

The ISP will keep the record for themselves, but if the government suspicious with one or more accounts in the bank, they will track it, even they will ask the ISP to give the record to them. I think some gamblers do not want to avoid paying taxes, but they are playing gambling because they want it.
6957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You have to prove that you can take the loss on: September 01, 2020, 12:21:46 AM
Only a few people who can win over and over in gambling and that person will have much luck which can give him the chance to win. Having good knowledge will not help if you don't have luck because the luck will be the one factor besides the other things that will determine. If we lost in gambling, especially lost big money in gambling, we need to think twice to continue or to stop gambling. But the best solution will be to stop gambling for a while, so you can refresh your mind by taking a relax. If you can accept the loss after you stop for a while, you can know if your luck will not always stay beside you.

It's quite unrealistic to believe that there really are some person that is lucky. Because for me, everyone could be lucky at a time, it is just that, some people wins allot because they are atleast trying their luck often. But the percentage of those who won too much in just a small amount of game is too low. That means that if we cannot win a jackpot by playing small amount of games, we should try to play allot and lower our bet.

With regards to whether to continue or not when lost, there is a strategy which is called martingale, basically, doubling your bet after losing in order to get back your money fast.

Everyone could be lucky, but all of them could not be lucky together because luck will only pick one or two or three people who deserve luck. So that will make sense if a few people can win much money from gambling. I think it is realistic if only a few people can get lucky in gambling games or even in other things. Playing a lot and using lower bets will not always give us a chance to us. The important is we know how to control ourselves and limit ourselves. Don't force us to play a lot if we can't accept the risk.

Doubling your bet after losing will be on your side temporary, so you don't have to depend on that for a long time because if you still use it for a long time, you can't always win.
6958  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Yearn.Finance (YFI) hits $28k on: August 31, 2020, 05:44:00 AM
Just checked Binance and its trading around 2.77 BTC per YFI. its crazy to invest in this unless you get out fast not waiting for more ATH. even now it seems to go up but do at your own risk.

But no one will know if YFI can increase more or it will go down to the low price. It is unbelievable that YFI can surpass bitcoin price, and in a few hours ago, the price touches the new high price. Many investors in the crypto space, making a profit from YFI, but we don't know if there are people who losses by investing in YFI.

If we invest in YFI, we can take the profit while we still have a chance because we don't know what will happens in the next hours. So you need to get out for a while after you sell YFI at the high price. You don't have to buy and sell and follows the price because if you don't know how to analyze the trend and the price, you will lose the chance to make a profit.
6959  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the crypto market saturated? on: August 31, 2020, 04:42:35 AM
The crypto market is not saturated because the crypto market still moving and get up and down every day. We also see that almost every month, many new project release to the market, and we see that people still have the enthusiasm to participate in the project, whether as promoters or investors. But I admitted that now, the crypto market becomes larger because we see many new projects using their way to develop the project. And each new project wants to reach their goals in the future. But we need to be careful to choose the project because there will still a project that doesn't serious with their project because they only want to make money from the people.

Not all countries offer such opportunities. I wish the best to those who can take advantage of improving their finances in this time of adversity.
In my case with my saved money I am buying some electronics with Tablet, Telephone and Wi-fi to improve my skills as a graphic designer to do remote jobs. I would like to continue investing in Bitcoin and Crypto because thanks to them I was able to save and buy these equipment.

This pandemic teaches us about how to survive because we are limits to get out of our home to work. Fortunately, we are now in the digital era, which help us to do many things from home with an internet connection. As the internet grows, we see that there is many jobs opportunity available on the internet, but we need to have skills that can offer to customers.

You are fortunate because you have skills in graphic design, so you can work from home, and I think you do not get too much impact from the Covid-19. If many people realize about this opportunity, I am sure that we can use the internet as the way to be more creative to have a job from the internet.
