a single mistakes can cause a business to be ruined.
I think this is true most especially in an online business. I remember there are one crypto project who got hacked and lost millions of dollars. The reason is only because of a tiny mistake in the code. It sounds crazy but it happens. That's how good the hackers are. They inspect every element and if they have spotted something which aren't right, that's the time they will try to attack.
That is the advantage of great hackers because they can detect leaks from the system and even in the code. And this makes every developer have to stay alert, do frequent checks on their site, and ensure that everything is safe. I'm sure the team of every trusted casino always does this and there are even some casinos that do leak searches and offer big rewards to invite their people or members to help them find leaks on their site. So this is not an easy task for every casino as they have to compete with other casinos in maintaining security on their site.


Exactly, when we have a casino or a company that does not have enough security, a single mistake can cause total decapitalization, and I don't know, but there are many casinos that have been online and appear here in the forum, and I don't know. If in some play or something the casino has also had an error, it has to pay a lot of money to a user and that is why it has also been the cause of the crash.

On the other hand, we have also witnessed that some users have been beneficiaries of certain bonuses and free money that sites sometimes offer, and this becomes a vulnerability, this is usually quite common.
On this forum, many new online casinos are constantly being released, which makes us always have to be careful because some of these new casinos are still under development, especially for security. So if you are interested in depositing your money because of the bonuses offered, you don't need to deposit too big money. Maybe after you deposit some money, you can see how it develops and if the casino can be better than before, you can deposit some more money but you still have to be able to control your spending on gambling.

Many people take advantage of bonuses from casinos to abuse so that people can get more bonuses than others. And yes, it is a common vulnerability in casinos.

Yes, things are well known, but I think that this is a quick exit option for new casinos, because they bet that players like to play more and take advantage of it to capitalize little by little, partly when the bonuses have many conditions is a good thing, but they should not be mandatory, if they were free to take the money that is deposited it should be fully withdrawable, and in case bonuses that do not have conditional characteristics are used, it is logical that the bonus must be withdrawable, and not put so many locks, so this means that the bonus is seen as free money, but it is an entry option for more users.


on that side note, abuse can take place the very reason why gambling owners place wagering system on most bonuses, allowing gamblers to take the bonus after wagering the amount but most of the time before reaching that amount you already lose the free bonus from those games or sessions that you take, it's also related with security as it will prevent abuser to suck out from the business wallet,

I see and understand your point but it's also needed to consider other side of potential threats if the bonuses are being exposed from people who are looking for good opportunities to withdraw free money from the site who providing bonuses for their clients.

Well, I understand very well when they are requirements for bonuses, it is something that the casino gives, but it should be like the trading brokers do, that when you register you must previously comply with a KYC, then depending on the deposit the broker gives you double, but that other money they give you, can only be used to trade in "leverage mode" and every time withdrawals are made, that bonus will decrease until it is fully met, but it is a bonus that is not withdrawable, and It can be used whenever the trader wants, it is not an obligation to use it, I think that this way is much better, with that they get rid of any problem or vulnerability in a casino.

Almost all the challenging vulnerabilities casinos had been facing since the past had been taken care of and the major areas had been tackled by all means despite that many have been through alot as a result of this, things have now gone advanced with online gambling and no any physical means of assault or abuse could come in through this for both the gamblers and the casinos as long as new improvement is made over the past ones.

Yes, it is a fact, for me the vulnerabilities of the past in a casino are very different from those that may exist now, the vulnerabilities that existed before were relatively soft and not as strong as those that hackers have developed now, in these times the things have changed, there is a greater degree of danger due to the fact that now computer viruses and everything that has to do with security in the blockchain, it seems to me that there are enormous amounts of bots that are also in charge of security, now the times have changed so they can build more trust in sites, also SSLs that help.

<..>

As for the sanctions, I think that it should be a lifetime ban in all competitions. And in fact, I consider this a lenient punishment, since Nieman is obviously a scammer and took other people's money through fraud. I don’t understand why he can’t be put in jail like other scammers?

have you watched "tinder swindler"?
sometimes it's hard to put people in prison in some cases of fraud
crazy system

not sure if this applies to the case in question with Nieman
maybe not

on the movie the guy can't really be punished because he does a lot of international scams and fool the women to pay and take loans for him, since "psychological pressure and emotional manipulation" are not crimes he doesn't go to jail.

I haven't seen this movie but I've heard about it. I would not draw analogies, since everything is more or less simple here - Niemann has US citizenship Chess.com also works in US jurisdiction. It would be cool if some independent prosecutor started an investigation against him and filed charges. There are enough reasons for this: he appropriated other people's money using other people's trust - this fully fits the criminal article of fraud, even though there is no criminal punishment for cheating. But the court can qualify any action as it sees fit (based on the opinions of experts, of course).

I have no idea what the laws are like in the USA, but according to what I have been hearing that they do not let any type of event of this kind escape, for me when there are frauds of this style, punishing them for life is usually something quite severe, but I think it is well deserved, scams and everything that involves stealing or taking things from others is something that has to be punished so that the person feels ashamed of what they did and others learn that they want or intend to do the same, depending on how They say it here, so it is likely that if someone very influential in the US political system could make something like this happen?

And so this is the official documents filed by Niemann for a defamation case against Magnus, Chess.com and GM Hikaru Nakamura. It's it has a lot of zeroes, hehehe, $100 million.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.moed.198608/gov.uscourts.moed.198608.1.0.pdf

I don't know how far this case will go, nevertheless and if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that we have heard this kind of noise in the chess industry. And so the drama continues and we will see what "proof" Carlsen and Chess.com will produce in front of the court for their cheating allegations.

It really surprises me that this is put into context here, I had always heard things about cheating in other sports, but in chess? this is something that is sometimes difficult to believe, but it is totally believable, now it surprises me that people who know so much have to resort to this type of practice, this chess thing has many followers, it has many fans, it is also a sport for intelligent people, and what they show here has no intelligence at all, so what example do they give? why do they do it? As long as there is an easy but murky path, it will never give good news, it seems to me that these things should never happen.
7183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 01, 2022, 08:15:27 PM
Napoli have impressed everyone by their incredible performance so far. Even though they have tough opponents like Liverpool and Ajax in the group they are still playing like they are much stronger than both of them. They defeated Liverpool 4-1 and did the same to Ajax by even a bigger score like 6-1. They are living the dream now and I assume they would finish the group as the leader as well.

However I'm curious about their performance against other big teams. This performance deserves to play in the semi final at least I believe. Because they are one of the most performing teams of the group stage already.

Napoli is really surprising - they are simultaneously leading both in Serie A and in their Champions League group, and after such big victories over competitors, in order to stay in first place, they only need to defeat the Rangers once in a home game and not lose much (this is the worst option but they can even win or draw). The problem is that the play-offs will only start in February and it is unlikely that Napoli will maintain their current form by then.

Yes, I am really very impressed with Napoli's outstanding performance so far.  The Partenopei have been perfect in Serie A and the Champions League.  I had doubts about Napoli this season, because many of their mainstay players left, but with the squad they have now, Luciano Spalletti is able to dismiss the doubts of many people.  Hopefully Napoli can continue to appear consistent until the end of the season.


Consistency is something that is very difficult to achieve, more in football even with the best clubs in the world it is difficult for them to be consistent because it is difficult to always be in the position of excellence, there will always be teams that come out very motivated and can take your place, but when the motivation is always higher, it is very difficult to stop being consistent, otherwise you have to ask Real Madrid, PSG, and many other renowned teams, for me these things are difficult to be, when we refer to Napoli, This is something that fills Italian pride, and above all I really like how they are playing, they do it with their hearts sincerely, and they don't realize when they play sweating the shirt well.


The presence of Erling Haaland has added to the confidence of the Manchester City squad, they have a pure striker who is hungry for goals. It's true they must take advantage of this momentum which is their best momentum to win the Champions League trophy. But this is the Champions League which has a very tight competition, especially if they meet again with real Madrid, it will be their biggest threat. Because last season it was also Real Madrid who failed them in the fight for the title. They even had to be hit by a deadly comeback from the El Real squad.

Erling Haaland doing amazing job for Manchester City and with this they are surely at their best run in Champions League but still this is not guaranteed that they could be winner or having chance of going into final because any bad day can send them to home in knockout stages as soccer is unpredictable game and teams have good and bad days in any game right now they are having quality players but in coming matches when they are going to face big teams which are also filled with same quality players things could be in different way.

Currently, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Napoli are on their best which can create tough challenges for them at any stage right now we have best way is just wait and watch about this all things could be clear after World Cup in January who could be at top.

Yes, I am familiar with your analysis, Real Madrid really seems to me to be the strongest team of those you say, on the one hand there is Bayern with Haaland, and he is a great player and has a great future, but I do not see them as firmly as Real Madrid has shown it, because Bayern has had problems in the Bundesliga, and they haven't been so consistent, Pep has done everything possible to win, but they have achieved some draws that are not encouraging here, now well, I know that many teams give more importance to the UCL, but I think that supremacy is shown in both, both in their leagues and in the UCL, on the other hand, Napoli is on another level and it surprises me, and at the same time makes me happy.

If it came down to player quality, PSG would have won it in the last few years because they had better players than other teams. The previous years' winners have taught us that the trophy is won through teamwork, not how many quality players you have on your team. Manchester City, without a doubt, has champions league experience, but they must understand that winning the champions league is not a one-man show; they are relying heavily on Halaand this season, which is not a good idea. Tbh.
I don't seem to agree if you think Manchester City are very dependent on Haaland. It's true Haaland has scored a lot of goals for Manchester City, but I think that's his job as a striker. Other players can also score goals such as Foden, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez or De Bruyne, but Haaland is a target man in the Manchester City squad especially in attack.

For this season, my hero remains at Real Madrid regardless of which team is considered a good candidate to win. Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich or any team are good but about the title I want Real Madrid to defend it.
That "should" be like that, but if you watched Liverpool game you will see that since Haaland managed to score that many goals so far, many players end up just passing it to him and expect him to score, aside from Foden who just tries to score himself instead. I have seen silva, ilkay, de bruyne, everyone just pass to Haaland whenever they can, as many times as they can, so that one of them would be at least a goal.

And to be fair to Haaland, it worked out well so far aside from just one game, so I cannot say it doesn't work. But we are not seeing the team as a whole try to score that much anymore, not as much as last year at least, it is more heavily on Haaland now.

Something must be emphasized, that Haaland already has someone to stop him, and it is Vigil, I do not know if they captured each encounter between the two of them, because Virgil would not let the ball be taken from him, and Haaland tried not to go to the side that was , I think Virgil is that player who gets the weak point to the stars, on that side I think he was able to show everything that Mo Salah has that really does not lower his level and was shining above the Viking, however I do not rule out that they already have a good strategy for the next game which will actually be very exciting, this UCL thing is getting very good, I hope there will be much more action.



Very interesting:

Champions League winner backed to replace Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard - EXCLUSIVE



Quote
Former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has backed Rafa Benitez as a potential option to replace Steven Gerrard as manager amid growing pressure on his job. Gerrard is firmly the favourite next Premier League boss to get the sack, and Benitez is one of two candidates Dublin would love to take the reins if he does depart.

But I'm more inclined to Real Madrid to be able to win the title for the second time without CR7 and Sergio Ramos, even though it's impossible, but it can happen, About PSG and M.City this club only has ambitions to win the Champions title, and secondly this club always falls in the round of 16 or 8 big, FC Bayern München could be a candidate but Real Madrid has a fighter mentality despite having young players, but still has experienced midfielders like Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Federico Valverde, Lucas Vázquez, etc. that's what makes Real Madrid still favorite to win this year's UEFA Champions League...

There is no word impossible in the race for the Champions League title, especially if it is for a team like Real Madrid. But this season I see every team that has the potential to qualify for the round of 16 have started trying to improve their performances so that they can become stronger in the round of 16 later.

Teams like PSG, Manchester City, Bayern Munich are teams that must always be taken into account by Real Madrid in the Champions League, including this season, because they can take advantage of every mistake made by Real Madrid accidentally to get the Champions League trophy.
Actually I don't see any possibility with PSG. First of all, they will never win the Champions League this season. Their team has many weaknesses which they are failing to fix. I don't see the aggressiveness in their team. Even though PSG have 3 top superstar players, they are still disappointing the fans.

Well, I also see it the same way, I don't see that PSG have that supremacy that they should have, if we put them to play against REAL MADRID right now they would possibly lose, in the French league there are many teams that are emerging, they don't they take the same fear that they have of the iconic players that are more famous, I take it as Marseille could take the throne from them in the league and in the UCL they can hang by a thread if they get the toughest teams that are very hungry to win, I think PSG should change strategist, for me a Zizu would make the difference and could lead to sure victory.

There are many big teams joining the Europa League from the group stage of the Champions League this time. I wonder how many of them will care about that tournament and try to win the title.

Why won't they desire to win the title? That will be added to their achievements for the club. Remember that the Super Cup is played between champions league and Europa league winners, and it is an important trophy that every team would like to win. Instead of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stage and then losing, I believe it is preferable to win the Europa League.

All of the teams that moved from the Champions League to the Europa League will make the competition more exciting to watch. We'll have an interesting competition here with top teams like Barcelona, Juventus, Ajax, Athletico Madrid, Arsenal, and Manchester United. With Arsenal in good form right now, I believe they have a good chance of winning the Europa League this season.

Actually Velvet78 has a point there.

I mean that we saw some examples about this before. In the previous season, Dortmund were one of the teams relegating from the Champions League to the Europa League. Their opponent there was Rangers and they were eliminated by them right away. Normally you would expect Dortmund to just destroy a team like Rangers but they didn't. Barcelona were also one of the strongest candidates for the title but they couldn't reach even the final. I believe these were all because of their not caring about the Europa League as much as the Champions League. But there is no obligation like this will always go on like this of course.

Well, but it's not bad that these teams have fallen to play in the Europa League, there are many teams that are very good and are playing in the eUROPA leaue, now Barcelona, there is Man United, and the level in the UCL has grown a lot, here the team that is careless is not forgiven, it goes straight to the Europa League, there are a lot of memes that have been made because Lewa is in Barcelona and he is in the Europa League, I think these things are very Common in football, there is something that we should not do when we support a team, never deny that you can fall in the Europa League, because the faster you will do it.



Well, right now between the match between Bayern and Inter, what seemed like an obvious hand by Mané was not awarded as a penalty kick against Inter, apparently the player did it to defend himself from the ball that came to him, well these are things that happen in the VAR era, now with all the things and rules that are new, that I don't know the rules very well, that's the first time I've seen it, and it seems quite interesting to me, I hope that according to this and someone wins, no they are going to make that move as one of the most iconic and that causes a lot of debate, although in the Champions League everything lends itself to being able to affirm that a team won by X circumstance.

Yes, of course, what happens is that when they shorten the links in the same way it can last a few hours but then they remove it, one of the Twitter policies has those things, it's a shame, but that's how it is, however the advertising that is done is much more discreet, and there are no links that take you to the page for that reason, however it is as you say when you are starting the best thing is to search many people through social networks, facebook, twitter, instagram, and others, now tik tok is very fashionable, but that is a social network that I do not like and that seems very bad to me, but even so it has many people who follow it and like it.
Because people who want to share the link know that people out there tend to use their social media more often than other websites so they can be used as targets to spread the link, in addition to Tik Tok, which is starting to be liked by everyone, Instagram is still the social media that is often used to spread the link so maybe they will try to use it. It seems an effective way to attract new people to a place they are unfamiliar with so that it can become their favorite place later. Especially now that more young people are using social media for various kinds.
You have reason, with respect to Instagram I do not say anything, it is quite relevant, and also many manage to monetize it with their live broadcasts, but the truth is that in my personal opinion Tik Tok is not very positive, the truth is that it seems to me a social network that there is a long way to go and yes, many people tend to use that social network and they can have many followers and currently anyone can make a mini-video and put it on tik tok, but of course the relevance of the links can be launched here and on Instagram, although I don't have the statistics of which social network is bigger than the other, as long as they continue to accept the links and referrals, they will continue to exploit it, only they will make a great spam paradise on occasion.
With the increasing number of places or social media, as we mentioned, it also provides a lot of space for people, especially those who often provide information about links to join on many websites to try to get followers who can later join under them. The power of social media is getting bigger and we can already find many things shared on each social media. If it is about statistics, it won't be easy to find which social network is bigger than the other because each social media wants to show its advantages to the users.


If in fact social networks are one of the best tools that casinos have to promote themselves, I remember a one-coin project and the greatest success of that project was thanks to social networks, because they put their own members to work to work doing pormotion (without spam) and this is something that could easily happen because they would rather tell their own members that they had authentic followers than traffic companies where the majority were pure bots and do not get as many good results as they can do the same community, this guaranteed the success of this project, if a casino starts to have this same strategy I think it would exploit social networks in a great way.

There is no point on trying to compare ourselves with other people because there is always going to be someone that can use way more money than what we can use, what we must care about is how much money we can dedicate to our gambling hobby and never going above that amount, if you can do that then you are fine, besides you have no way to know what it is behind the people which are making those huge bets as unlike you they may be addicted to gambling and they could be the ones jealous of you by being able to get fun while using so little money.
What we have to do is understand that gambling is not a good way to make money because there are losses that will await us as long as we play. You'll be fine if you can control yourself when you gamble and don't overspend, especially when you lose. But the truth is, more people spend more money trying to recover from their losses. This will slowly make them addicted to gambling, and over time, they will become addicted to gambling. If they have experienced this problem, they will not be able to leave gambling easily.

Often it is our wins, not losses, is what makes us addicted to gambling. You can win a lot by chance, but start thinking that you know how to win, you just need a larger bankroll. Those are very dangerous thoughts, and we must keep them off of our minds if want to enjoy gambling instead of being ruined by it.
You are right because by winning often, our minds will say that this time is also our time to win, so we continue to play until we lose track of time. But often, the results can differ from what we want because luck doesn't always come twice after a big win. Using a large bankroll also does not guarantee that we can win because luck is not always on our side.
Due to this situation most gamblers are unable to hold a big win for long time. Controlling the mind is impossible until our bankroll is depleted. Especially since I used to do that. Once a time i gambled as long as i finished my bankroll. Anyway, now I try to control gambling from that situation. Gambling should never be panicked.
We can control the mind to restrain ourselves from using more money in gambling, depending on whether we can do it or use more money. If you don't want to see more losses, that's the way to go, and you should be able to do it. It might seem difficult at first, but believe me, it's worth trying because by continuing to practice it, you will be able to stop spending more money on gambling. It will be very painful if we experience many defeats.
Well one as a player always has to see how to do to be able to have control and be accepted, a player can have certain skills, and can also have little or a lot of money, when he has little money it is best to stay put and begin to see how you can make it work for you and have fun, apart from that if you are looking to win, you have to play with too much restraint, because when you play to have fun you have to leave a part of the money to lose without any type of resentment or something by himself, perhaps he loses, now if what he is looking for is just to play to win, I don't know how to play something like that, it could be poker.
7185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Good crypto casino comparison site on: November 01, 2022, 06:15:39 PM
Well I see that OP has a somewhat peculiar list, honestly it is not because I am a faithful follower and that the word of stake.com spreads, but I think that they should be first, as soon as I saw the aspects that they take into account to make the review and to place it in the places, I don't think it's the right one, I understand that stake.com is one of the best casinos in the forum and it's from bitstars, it's really new to me and I think it's not here in the forum, so that is something that influences a lot, I did not see bitcasino.io, Duelbtis, Rollbit, Roobet in the selection that meet many of the characteristics that you take into account, betcoin.ag and playbetr seem good to me, it is only my opinion of course this.
The OP's list is not peculiar but it was common because if we browse other gambling review sites, we can see that they also prioritize casinos which are not found in this forum. I think the reason why they put stake casino in the second spot and bitstarz at first because it is stated that bitstarz has no withdrawal fees and then they have a massive 2.7k+ games.

Stake has a lot of games but I don't think their number crosses a thousand or more plus stake do also have a withdrawal fee but the fees can always be manageable if we use cheap altcoins and tokens. Another thing that stake don't have but bitstarz have is the sign up bonus or the deposit bonus.

Yes, in part it intrigues me sometimes to see casinos that are not in the forum, at first I review them because there are many casinos that are not crypto-style and that do not promote them through the forum, obviously who would tell them to put the option of crypto, for us it is always better to work with money in crypto, when it comes to fiat things can be very complicated, especially when transactions are made from other banks, the fact that they arrive, some have the options of Srill or Paypal, but I think that the main thing should be at least USDT, which is well accepted, Bitcoin or other crypto maybe not due to its high volatility and it can be understood, but in the same way those sites I don't know if they are so reliable.

Hi, I want to ask the author - why "top 5 casinos"? You should add more casinos, because it seems that this is a biased list. In my opinion fairspin and justbit should be on the list, I think those casinos are very good.

maybe you can request them to review your mentioned casinos. they have their own criteria as listed also on their page. for them, those are their top 5 casinos according to their criteria. every review or ranking site has their own top list depending on their reviews and experiences. so you can't expect that they will list casinos that you think are deserving on their list.

Of course what happens is that it is very difficult that with some criteria they do not coincide with those that are in the top 10 of the best casinos, there is always a lot of discrepancy and difference between what OP shows, for me there is no point of comparison, for sure stake.co, I see it well, Playbet and betcoin, I have seen other sites that are relatively new and I have also seen new threads that put a lot of mbitcasino, it may be a strong marketing campaign for this casino and they can manage to position it As one of the best in the forum, all publicity is worth it, but to compete with the big ones, it is also necessary to have some seniority.
7186  Economy / Gambling / Re: Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games on: November 01, 2022, 05:00:26 AM
I agree with luckmcfly as it is true that poker players are mostly big money holders who necer quit even though they lose so much in the process of playing but then most of them always run bankrupt due to excessive playing and always trying to recover from previous losses.
I think one of the reasons why most of this gamblers do end up being bankrupt is because of so much addiction which would be eaten them to the core. Poker game is much of addiction and if we are not that careful then we can end up been a addictive which can as well make us go bankrupt one day. Excess bettings have there own detriment.
I have a different perspective to the comments of the both of you, because i love playing poker games and i have seen a lot of other poker players who just do it as a pleasure and not with the mindset of making money out of it.
I believe that the reason why most tournaments are held in poker is because of it simplicity and ability to be played by multiple players, that is players play against each other unlike other games where there are always playing against the house.
And taking about addiction i agree with you on that one, as many poker players have suffered wide range of addiction.

Well there are many things that are excellent from what you say, what happens is that sometimes it is like more exciting to participate in poker tournaments that are with many people and it is not only against the house, for me in particular, when I started in This world since 2017 saw more frequently the sites that offered PVP tournaments, now they are very few, does this mean that the directions or tastes for casino players have changed over time? In my case, it has happened like this, I see slots much more fun, of course not at first, but once you begin to understand the concept of slots well, everything changes, obviously if poker tournaments come out I would like to participate.

A lot of poker game tournaments have been announced on this board over time, and am I kind of wondering what makes poker games so inclined to the tournament and we don't see such competitions being announced for other games?
Poker games are games that have more appeal to people, so they hold the event, it can be said that poker games have become very common things that many people know. As for other games, they are less attractive, so I don't think they hold events for other games.
One thing that the casino aim from tournaments is their own promotion and publicity, As you said that poker has more appeal to people and many gamblers know how to play it or at least the basic of poker that's why everyone can relate. A casino won't launch a tournament that only few people know or participate in because they will get less traffic from it compared in launching a poker tournament.

Yes, you're right, right now I've looked at what sites have poker tournaments but it's not like before, possibly Betnomi always does it, it's the site that handles the most traffic regarding poker, for me poker is a very good game, apart from develop certain skills, it manages to establish some bonds of friendship between the players, in particular I have always really liked this type of event, I do not have as much experience playing as others, I think that in some way a poker player who is very good will always be among the first places, the experience here can mean everything, I consider that I am missing a lot.

~ The truth is when I see a casino that is identical to another I leave and I don't go there anymore, although there is obviously the option that it be new people and that they don't know anything and that it wasn't their fault, that maybe they sold that type of environment in a casino, I prefer to pass and not go more than deposit and lose my money in a silly way, because a new casino must make a difference, be authentic by any measure, even have the best bonuses with the best wager possible, so that you can compare yourself against the big ones, such as stake.com, bitcasino.io, SB, among other casinos that are very reliable and highly reputable.

Indeed, there are enough established and respected online casinos for us to play in. Why should we bother with some copycats? Even if they promise enormous bonuses, how can we be sure it's not a scam?

So, the first move, make your platform originally looking. Not many people are going to trust you otherwise.

Yes, it is true, there are many platforms that have a lot of authenticity and too much originality, sometimes it is annoying that one gets into a casino that is being born and is exactly the same as another, I think it is lack of work or a lot of laziness, maybe sometimes the sites were to be very good but they have or were sold that, the bad thing is that they would start off with the wrong foot, but everything is in the possibility of being fixed, just making a good change of environment can generate much more confidence and apologize, because having a casino for the first time is something that must be very difficult, apart from all the effort and capital.

Welcome to the forum; I just went through your post, and we can't say it is becoming a copycat.
As you know, the market competition situation and user trends are based on the likes and dislikes of the users.
Casinos must have to incorporate the features and offers, unlike other casinos. Adopting new requirements and trends is mandatory to attract new users and retain them.
More important is how the casino site can provide good service to its customers so they can be satisfied with its performance.
And although the casino site looks similar to other casinos, as long as the casino can provide satisfactory service to its members, it will not be a problem for the members.
They won't think about how it looks but how the casino can work well and not do anything bad or even cheat its members.
And this will be a healthy competition between casino sites where they must be able to provide the best for their members.

Yes, I know that what you are looking for is that you can play well and that the casino meets the main requirements, but you also have to put in context that when there is a copy of a site it is not very well seen, it is something like doing a job identical to another either in a company or in an educational institute, I see it that way, when there is a casino that has possibly been cheated with something like that, because its duty is to immediately change its design, because that way It shows that it is authentic, legitimate and original, it will clear any doubt that the site is somewhat shady in its actions, but of course that is my way of seeing this.
7188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: November 01, 2022, 03:45:06 AM
I don't see Inoue looking for a knockout against Butler, also that's not Inoue's style, for me he will do other more relevant things, Inoue has a very good reputation, I don't see him going to win like that,

I'm confused by what you said that since Inoue has a very good reputation, probably he's not looking forward to Knocking Out Paul Butler? And that's not Inoue's style to KO his opponent?  Actually, he is just doing his usual style and if one of his punches send his opponent kissing the canvass, then he just did a great job of KOing his opponent.

Anyways, what are those other relevant things you are referring to that Inoue will do instead of looking for a knockout win?

I'm not sure though if I got clearly the picture of your statement so please correct me with that. Cheesy
Well, clearly Inoue is at the top of the best boxers, but if he does a knockout it will obviously be good, but because of how he will most likely want to move up to a higher weight, if he does a more round fight without a knockout, he will make the fans remember much more, getting more fame, it is not the same to say that he did a knockout as to say that he did 12 rounds with all the rounds totally dominated by him, this gives much more show, and by giving more show gets more fans and they will see this to look for fights where they will make him more famous and therefore there will be much more business so that he can access more money, that way it is the one that the boxer is looking for, something similar he is doing the Russian boxer Bivol.

The same thing with Inoue, if he will move up to the next division, he is also not a champion, so that's the best chance he will fight Casimero if he will make it happen. I'm sure promoter of Casimero would be happy to deal with that as they know the fight will gain attention to the fans and they will make a decent  amount of money, although it's not a championship fight.
However the case of Inoue is different, if he wins his next fight against Butler and he becomes the undisputed he will immediately get a chance to fight for a title, this is the reason Usyk and Canelo after becoming undisputed champions on their division could immediately try to get a championship on the next division, and this is key as it could save Inoue a bunch of fights to prove his worth on the next division, but Casimero cannot do the same and he will need to once again demonstrate his worth.


Indeed, it's a token for Inoue to have that instant challenge to the next division champ just like what Canelo did when chasing

for Bivol's belt but it didn't happen since Bivol is more prepared and more fit from that current weight unlike with Alvarez
who needed to adjust and gain weight.

With Casimero, he needed to start from the scratch and prove that he belonged to this new division. It's better for him to
Jump up before the belt was stripped.. Just saying..

Well, it is not to determine who is the undisputed champion, although Inoue is a boxer who has everything very clear, he has his direction well focused on being the undisputed, for me if he can be victorious, it remains to be seen how Butler will come out, Butler must be very pressure too, because he is a boxer who can really make history if he does not allow Inoue to beat him, for me it is one of the things that can make a difference, however we have to wait, everything is in the hands of both boxers, taking into account Inoue's expertise is likely to win out and that's why the odds are so biased in favor of Inoue.

However the case of Inoue is different, if he wins his next fight against Butler and he becomes the undisputed he will immediately get a chance to fight for a title, this is the reason Usyk and Canelo after becoming undisputed champions on their division could immediately try to get a championship on the next division, and this is key as it could save Inoue a bunch of fights to prove his worth on the next division,

Naoya Inoue already said a couple of months ago that he wants to face the current WBC and WBO super bantamweight Champion Stephen Fulton once he moved up a weight division and successfully achieved being the undisputed bantamweight champion by defeating Paul Butler.

The Japanese monster is really comfortable that he can easily adopt well to the 122 lbs environment from 118 lbs.

“At 122 pounds, I can move more, and I think I can demonstrate my strength more. I don’t know how much damage I can do to opponents who should be naturally bigger. It will be an unknown world. - Naoya Inoue

Without a doubt, he is a boxer with a great hunger for triumphs, the Japanese knows very well where he can make history, for now he must wait to see how it goes with Butler, it is something that can become either very easy or difficult but something can be solved Of course, if he wants to achieve that, he must win this fight, what seems to be that making those decisions has a lot to do with how willing he is to be able to do something against that type of opponent, he says himself, that I am unknown to him, only that the blows will weigh a little more on him, it's all a matter of adapting, the category he is in is not the same as gaining a couple of pounds more.

I agree with you, for me Las Vegas is a gambling paradise with all those big casinos, I haven't had the opportunity to go there, but honestly when I go, I have to go and play, I hope I have a lot of money to spend and I don't It hurts me to spend it, and I have as a premise that the money you take to a casino is to have fun and to spend it however you want, that is why at that time I will not be ashamed to use it however I want, for me what I am most looking for in a casino is to be able to feel that emotion, that adrenaline that the game produces, the feeling that you can win a lot, and that those spectacular memories remain, like the music, the people who are there, that is, everything.

Sounds like a plan! By the way, have you ever thought about actually doing this? After all, if you want it so much, why not? As I understand the approximate budget (minimum) for a trip there will be around 5k dollars (or am I mistaken?)? I'm not from the US and don't know the prices there. But if I wanted to go there so badly, I would start by finding out exactly how much money I need for this.

Unfortunately, I am from a third world country, and even though I have traveled to many countries, I have never been able to go to Europe or the USA, and since there are so many problems today with migrants who arrive in the USA using the Darien jungle and all that, I think that the USA for now will have much more betates to citizens of South America, the only way I think they will go is because they request my services for my profession, but I don't want to either, because I know that life in those countries is becoming very hard, the high inflation and the war drums is something that you cannot avoid, however, in my country things are very hard, but I know how to get along here and the best thing is that I am in my own country and I know that there are no problems of Xenophobia, some One day I plan to go, but for now it is very difficult.


we have the same thoughts about Vacation and about gambling activities , and besides if we are going to a vacation at least we will be with our love ones that will surely wanted to explore the special places in that said country and not to explore casinos that there are also in our own country  Grin

but I want to have that thing , treating gambling as a Job? maybe I need to extend my interest in gambling and not just a place to enjoy and a bonus to win.
Even going to a vacation with your family, if you really want to pay a visit to a casino, you can do it. After your tour within the day, and while others are falling asleep.

You can do the exploration or visit during at night for which most are visiting after the tiring day and from their day jobs.

Just don't forget to set yourself with a limit and you still have some nice places to visit by tomorrow so, you still have funds by that time.
Maybe this was a problem on the 70s or the 80s as touristic spots like Las Vegas were completely geared towards gamblers and to no other demographic.

But since then the casino owners realized that if they wanted to obtain more profits they needed to make their casinos more family friendly, and it is why last Vegas casinos offer all kind of attractions and different shows so all the family can have a good time, and while the casino itself still brings the majority of their profits, they offer so much more than just gambling that there are many families that go to Las Vegas and yet the parents could have a great time without gambling a single night at the casino.
Well, the truth is, I didn't know that in Las Vegas there was this guy of entertainment for the whole family, and yes, if they have a family tinge, it could go much better, the idea wasn't bad, and honestly, it's something that opens up a superior market. bearing in mind that the main premise is money, if everyone enjoys it, they can make more profits for the casino, and obviously with the whole family, they can bet, lose and nothing happens, with those small losses the casino will capitalize very quickly and it will never go bankrupt, that's something very interesting, very intelligent, and very Las Vegas, they honestly know how to reach people.

Source: https://www.benchwarmers.ie/pacquiao-wants-spence-crawford-winner/254920/

Big news is what Pacquiao generates. I hope he cheers up and we see him again.



No please no I'm a big Pacquiao fan and I like to see him age well he has a lot of things to do for his fellow citizen and he should enjoy his retirement, he is past his prime, this is not WWE wrestling where even a 70 years old Ric Flair can come back and be competitive and win, his time is up in boxing we have seen that. the speed and power are not there anymore, I am ok with him doing exhibitions but fighting for a world title against the top boxers in the world is just too much for Pacquiao to handle, everyone has his time in boxing I don't want him to go out like Mike Tyson.

Well, you're right about that, what happens is that sport always keeps people young and makes them live longer, maybe Tyson's inactivity has made him like that with all those ailments, the sciatic nerve is one of the strongest ailments that exist, I've never had it, but my wife does suffer from it and there are times when she can't even get out of bed and the pain grips her entire leg, now I can imagine what Tyson must feel since they are athletes who always They have worked with much more effort and with more weight, these things are what make a boxer stronger, and the fact of being in good health at an older age is already a great luxury.


Is there a rumor about that why this fight didn't successfully execute this year?

The rumors are senseless, both camps are just blaming each other and we don't know who is telling the truth. What we like to see is this fight going to happen this year but until now there's no positive news, so let us stop expecting it's gonna happen this year or even next year as most likely one of them will move up in weight.
I think that here what there was was a lack of interest on the part of Spence, Spence almost did not think this fight while Crawford did, it was very important to him, for this reason I think Crawford made the decision to fight not against him but with another opponent, the idea is that he get a little more fame so that he can have the best attention from the great boxers and for the next one it will be Spence himself who looks for the fight and not him, it is already something very different if this happens, at least I see it that way, and the strategy that Crawford is using is very good, I think he has to do it that way so that he can be more successful in his next rematches.


Crawford is really in an odd situation if he remains a free agent. He is not Canelo that can easily jump to any promoters and networks but still dictates everything in the deal. If he fights the WBO number 1 contender, the undefeated banger Vergil Ortiz Jr., it will be promoted by Golden Boy and DAZN will televise it. Highly risky for Bud with no legacy returns except money. Ortiz is a superstar in the making. Huge fanbase and is a very charismatic guy. I believe Crawford-Ortiz will beat all of Spence's previous PPV buys. But Crawford can also move up to 154 and hunt for his 4th division title but he seriously needs a promoter to depend on.   

I'm also thinking the same way, I also thought that a unification fight between Crawford and Spence is the next thing to happen when Bud haven't re-sign with Bob Arum. We all know that Arum is not inclined in these situation but without him, Crawford's alone and nothing to lean on in these times, also his situation has gotten worse because Spence's camp is playing on him. He badly needed a promoter and Mayweather is there ready to accept Bud under his banner to help him in the business side. I hope he will seek help to make this happen because he is getting older.

Aside from that, I think it's much better for him to fight Charlo in 154 pounds rather than risking his career for getting nothing while fighting the #1 contender, Ortiz.

Yeah, Mayweather really wants to sign Bud. The problem with Mayweather Promotions nowadays is it is just becoming one of the dummy promotions for PBC who's hiding under a managerial license. Mayweather is not the same guy anymore that wanted his promotion to become big like De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. And we also do not know how much Bud trusts Mayweather knowing the guy is a very close friend to Spence's team like Ellerbe his former manager and Al Haymon the owner of PBC.

Jermell Charlo the undisputed champ of 154 is from PBC too and he already said that he won't give Bud a shot at his undisputed belts. Charlo a very close friend of Spence wants Bud to work his way up to the rankings and earn his shot. So Bud can either get a tune-up at 154 or request the WBO to give him a shot at the WBO 154 belt which Charlo can vacate if it's still reluctant. It seems like these boys of PBC are trying to stop Bud from becoming the first-ever undisputed champion in 2 (Spence at 147) or 3 (Charlo at 154) divisions in this 4 belt era.

Money-wise DAZN has the deepest pocket in boxing right now. They got the biggest money-makers in boxing Canelo, AJ, Usyk, and potential future superstars Vergil Ortiz and Ryan Garcia. Bud can sign with them but it might also mean no more Spence and Charlo.

Really? I didn't know that Crawford's situation is much deeper than what I've thought. That's indeed too bad because all his years are wasted being under Bob Arum's management because Bob didn't let Bud build his legacy. Now, he is being rejected to have a shot in an undisputed fight both in welter and super welter. But I don't understand, why is it a bad idea if Bud sign under DAZN? Enlighten me mate.

To be fair, Bob Arum did his job well. Legacy-wise, Crawford's credentials are also assured in the Hall of Fame once he retires, unlike Spence who needs to work more on his career if he wants to be remembered and enters the Hall of Fame. Good friends Spence and Charlo avoiding Crawford is more of a personal and political issue.

If Crawford signs with DAZN, the network might not allow Showtime or Fox to solo-televise a possible Crawford-Spence or Crawford-Charlo. DAZN will want a joint network deal which is normal when 2 superstars collide like Pacman-Mayweather televised via HBO and Showtime. Last year, PBC's undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (Jermell's twin) and undefeated former champion Jaime Mungia of Golden Boy Promotions failed to materialize because PBC do not want a joint promotion deal. PBC wanted to solo promote the event and a rematch clause if Charlo losses but they will let GBP solo promote the possible rematch. PBC is the hardest to work with when it comes to co-promotion fights. Thus Crawford signing with DAZN might mean goodbye to Errol Spence and Jermell Charlo fights.

But personally, if I were Crawford, I will talk to Matchroom and signs a deal if possible.

Yeah, I think if ever Crawford will want to sign a promotional contract, it might be better with Matchroom. I think with Eddie Hearn, who knows, maybe he can get a good deal and push the fight for him against Spence.

Legacy wise, it might be better if we will see this fight going to happen next year. But if not, the longer the delay, the more Crawford will be at a disadvantage here and I will say that we might not see this fight anymore.

And I think if this fight is going to be made, there could be someone in between to be a  mediator. And it could be Eddie Hearn with his influence right now.

Eddie Hearn would be the most suitable person for that, and he is exactly what Crawford needed because I certainly think that he can't really manage to do it all alone especially about business. By now, I know that Crawford already know what to do next when they will have an open discussion again because he wasted months in that same discussion, but nothing had materialized.

He should act fast about it because time is not on his side and I agree on what you've said, if the fight won't happen in 2023 then Crawford will be playing at the disadvantageous side. I know he doesn't want that though.

In spite of everything Crawford is somewhat astute, he is a boxer who knows what he has and how he can do things in the fight, if he himself understands that to achieve a victory he needs a lot of work and effort, his training must be very intense and cash, maybe he has already been training and needs to get the benefits of it, I think that seeing that a fight with Spence is not possible, which could send him to fame or end up burying him, he is playing it with these fights he wants for him, it doesn't matter if it's for 2023, the idea is that he can build victories, it's the only way that Spence can be interested.
7191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: November 01, 2022, 02:03:40 AM
What happens is that it is a sensitive issue, obviously it is as the colleague has said, to some casinos that are highly reputable and very trustworthy if they care about money laundering and therefore use KYC, but it is well known that some casinos that are mostly relatively new, can be in this business camouflaged by the platform and take advantage of a large number of people and players who are very active in the game, so all these things are sometimes good for KYC, but at their Sometimes it is risky, because an apparent KYC can reveal everything about a person and make them even try on their life and leave them there on a silver platter to extort them or any kind of thing.
Actually no one force you to play on new casinos Grin why we need to play on new casinos when we already know the trusted and reputable casinos that operated until now? it's similar like centralized exchanges. I didn't want to touch any new casinos even though they have an interesting promotion or high bonus because any sites can offer to good to be true, but only few sites are reputable and don't lying to their customers.

I still stick with my old casinos and I never regret with my decision until now.

Well, in fact, the casinos that I have always guided me a lot, they are the most reliable and in fact the most reliable, but as there are always new casinos I like to explore them, there are some that have many new and innovative things, that It is what I like to explore, therefore sometimes when they get very intense with their KYC requirement I do not like it, not because I have to give it, but because at the beginning of a casino I do not know if it will be reliable, with a good reputation Perhaps it happens to many that when they give their KYC or something, the casino ends up being a scam and the KYC filtering is something that can be dangerous.

the only thing a casino would be concerned of money laundering is profit because it would allow more players to continue playing.

Let's be honest, money laundering is the best thing that can happen to a casino and there is where most of high rollers comes from. I have seen some rollers in the past that runs some huge scams and then go to the casinos to play with the scammed money and with that justify where they get the money from after hitting some huge wins.

Nowadays most casinos has KYC, but i don't think that is enough to stop the money laundering, what casinos should do is to investigate the source of the deposits to fight against this illegal activity, but that will not happen because is a win-win game from them.

So, what do you say, does crypto casinos really care about money laundering?

I think of course implementing KYC in casinos isn't sure to stop money laundering completely.
because money launderers will always have many ways and methods to launder their money.
money laundering practices not only go through crypto casinos, they will split their money and put it into trades, properties, stocks and much more.
they will do various things by putting their money into small pieces and converting their proceeds into other assets.
which in the end they make as if the proceeds of crime are their property from legitimate business activities.

I think at least a few casinos that implement KYC will prevent and maybe be a little difficult for the money launderers.
and will also provide small pieces of information for the relevant investigators to point to the money launderers.
But then again, the money launderers are not people who have just entered the money laundering business but must have had years of experience. So even if they are dealing with a casino that implements KYC, they will easily find another less restrictive casino so they can still run their business. This money laundering is like a business for them because they already have a place to use to launder money and maybe find a place to store their money safely. But crypto casinos are trying not to become a repository for money laundering proceeds and implementing KYC is one way to avoid that problem.
An established casino won't allow risks to be that high especially for their assets. Money laundering won't close a deal with a small amount. Given that it would be expected to be huge, casinos would somehow ring a bell to secure what might be a loss on their end. Agreement will not be drafted and close without edges on both ends. KYC would be wuestioned on the other hand by the 'customers' so casinos would need to find a better way to aid suspiscion but being fair at the same time.

If the casino is indirectly involved in money laundering, they will try to keep it tightly closed so that it is not visible to outsiders and few people know about the secret. This will be further covered if the casino owner also runs a money laundering business so that they will freely use their business and make money from other business results. But reputable casinos will not let this happen. They will always try to monitor every transaction in their business and ensure their casino is clean from money laundering.

Well, whenever we think about money laundering and casinos, it comes to mind how easy it is for some to do this type of thing, but not with so much money, but let's say with money in a more moderate way, because it can be done deposits and play, lose and deposit again, and be able to have a low but high profile within the casino, because making a high deposit and wanting to withdraw it at once is already a reason for them to jump the security of it and retain it for being suspicious activity I think that to launder money in a casino is a practice that is not very viable, some already have other ways of laundering money, at least the governments do it in other ways.

Let's be honest, money laundering is the best thing that can happen to a casino and there is where most of high rollers comes from. I have seen some rollers in the past that runs some huge scams and then go to the casinos to play with the scammed money and with that justify where they get the money from after hitting some huge wins.

Nowadays most casinos has KYC, but i don't think that is enough to stop the money laundering, what casinos should do is to investigate the source of the deposits to fight against this illegal activity, but that will not happen because is a win-win game from them.

So, what do you say, does crypto casinos really care about money laundering?

Crypto casinos don't care, of course, they are in this business to make money not to concern anyone.

And not everyone who applies KYC to their crypto gambling platform can say that it is safe, other gambling platforms just use it as a tool to make other gamblers or players think that their site of gambling is safe. But I don't blame everyone, others can still be taken advantage of. That's why you still need to do your research to find out if a casino is legitimate.


Well, the casinos care that they make money on their platforms, that they have a lot of traffic and that they can make the possible transactions to be able to have more activity in the casino, if I were the owner of a casino and I see that they make those deposits and play, I would rule out In any case, it is money laundering, however, if you see that there is suspicious activity, I would temporarily block the account to find out why it is doing this type of transaction or simply not block it, but send an email from support to verify that It is what happens, because it could be that he is a potential client and he is not given the proper treatment.

Well I wouldn't put it all on luck... I've put countless hours into my investments learning as much as I can, going long term on some projects, trading on others.
And sometimes you just have to dump some projects that are not showing any signs of strength for others that are ( I recently dumped some low performing low caps for a solid position in Quant. I'm still in profit, inspite of the dip )

So given the Bitcoin rally I thought I would update my position: My portfolio still holding strong with the same dollar value it had when BTC was 30K. ( BTC is still under 21K )  Grin



Well, to be honest, the only currency that I will always recommend investing in is Bitcoin, I know that some altcoins are good to invest in, I don't doubt it, but I also know that at the moment we are going through the market it is complicated, there are many ways to put money in any coin and it goes down significantly, even in bitcoin itself, we don't know if we will buy at $21k and then go down to $18k, or go even lower, this is something that every investor should take into account Mind you, because the Bitcoin market is very volatile, in fact we don't know when it's going to take a big turn and it could go up to more than $100k, it's something we don't know, but I know it will happen.

Hi guys,
My first post here. I've notived a few retail stores in Toronto which pretty much buy/sell your bitcoin in person. Charging a 5% rate.
Has anyone had any experience with these types on in person exchanges? From a business perspective are they lucrative? It's an interesting business model as you can also teach crypto in your community. However, I am unsure of the safety of random people walking in your store...
Any input would be appreciated, i would consider such a venture as long as it falls in legal terms.


Someone does similar thing in her store close to where I live, but I'm not sure how much she charges. She acts as some sort of mini bank by helping people transfer both fiat and bitcoin currencies to their wallets and to other people/businesses. I think she must have been licensed by bank to be able to provide the fiat currency transfer service which likely does not cover Bitcoin.. This shouldn't be a problem as long as she has the right ToS for the Bitcoin transfer that her customers need to read and agreed to.
Well that is something very useful, really if she is a person of that style the best thing is to become friends with her and be able to take advantage of it, also help protect her, because just as there are people who help there are also people who envy her and can do everything possible to make it go wrong, but for example with people like that in countries where everything is very difficult, for example like in Spain, it is something that should be highly valued, and as I say helping to protect them because that is the kind of people who have managed to circumvent the ways that banks and governments have so that people do not make these transactions.

You would really expect different threads on the same topics which had been discussed for how many times on this forum alone but let it be yet you cant stop people on making new one.

Going back into the topic about trading as gambling thing then its not really that totally a gamble since you could really apply some analysis through it unlike when you do play casino games which analysis

is irrelevant which does simply implies that it cant really be that possible for you to mind off things when you do gamble which is unlike on trading where you could really be having that application.
You would eventually find out for yourself if we do speak about risk taking and its decisions.
In fact, gambling, if it is sports betting, also implies a very fundamental analysis of the event, unless of course it is blind betting (which, by the way, can also be done in trading when you buy coins without analysis). In both cases, you can make money, but from my personal experience, I will say that it is much more difficult to make money from gambling than from trading. In trading, you have more chances when your coin has dropped in price, there is always a chance that there will be a good pump (I'm talking about spot trading), or a bull market will come, in the case of a bet, if you lose it, then your money immediately leaves to bookmaker.
Well, you are absolutely right about that, when I make bets on sports, the knowledge that we have has a lot to do with it, I think that there is 90% of our own responsibility, and the other 10% I give to luck, because in part it has happened to me that I have an almost perfect analysis of the sport, because I know the team, its skills, its entire squad and even its possible substitutes (in soccer) but then it can happen that for some reason those players that they are so good they play at, and just as they play badly in an oversight the other team scores a goal and thus they begin to lose, that is something that has happened to me a lot, sometimes that also happens in trading.

Great write up OP, just to add on what's in the OP.... Traders need not to always trade each time a chart is opened as doing so will lead to over trading and expose you to unnecessary losses.

Secondly, they say practice makes perfect and its from this we need to back test our strategy so that we become masters of the art of trading.
Practice and continuous research would really help us grow as a trader and it could even improve our trading results. We can't be successful in just a single night or even gain huge profits from trading without doing our personal training. There are lots of ways to practice and see if there is a specific strategy that will work for us. It might be a trial and error in the beginning and will take a long process of learning but we'll see a good result afterward.

It is true, but we must highlight something that not everyone likes and that is that when we lose in trading, there are two ways to take it, first anger, when it gets angry we don't even bother to check what happened, but if we take it from the second way is to review why that happened? what was it that we failed in the analysis, there we must learn more, now if we win a trade we must also review what happened for that movement to occur, and that is how we will also learn, I know that sometimes because of the emotion We didn't even review nda, and we say that we understood the market, but many things could have happened, first, we don't know if it almost hit the stop loss and then it went up, these are things that can happen.

but I see your telegram can't be accessed. Have you given up on the business you just wanted to start?


He said someone reported and his signal group was closed, he is trying to create a new signal group. Hopefully, he will come back and send us his new group info. I also want to check if what he is saying is true or just like other scam signals.

One more thing, no one can close your group unless you violate telegram's rules, only they have the right to close or delete your group. Maybe you have spammed or scammed many people so you have encountered a large number of reports leading to the group being closed.

I also agree with you, but I think that if they report it on telegram and say that it is a scammer or a scamming group they also close them, now Telegra has a lot of security, although for me it is safer to use telegram than WhatsApp itself, too It is something very different when they say that the signals are free, it is something different and I think it is much more accessible to many. When it comes to free signals I don't say anything, because I know that it is an incentive that some take to share what they know, in fact if they are very curious they can create a community that can generate very good signals, because by sharing knowledge, they can be done big things.

Esto es algo muy extraño, veo a Binance si como un gigante de los Exchanges, pero también como aquel exchange que da los datos que le pidan los entes de gobiernos sin ningún problma, más si es por Hacienda, sé que en España es difícil para aquellos que tengan Crypto, o en especial Bitcoin, la verdad no sé como hacen, pero si estuviera en España no lo usaría ni porque me regalaran cuentas, la razón es sencilla, si se dan cuenta en Hacienda que tiene  esa cuenta yq ue haces transacciones , los impuestos deben ser muy altos no? así es lo que he podido divisar, si yo estuviera en España usaría sin duda alguna Kucoin, proque no está regulado y no hay manera que puedan ellos dar los datos a Hacienda, esa sería mi única opción para tener Crypto y hacer cambios únicamente P2P.

Esto es una interrogante muy buena colega, sin embargo, creo que en unos años al menos en unos 4 años y creo que el Bitcoin podría crecer mucho más de los $100k, posiblemente podría pensar que llegará a los $200k y a veces creo que es exagerado, pero según el comportamiento de Bitcoin se puede dar, si tomamos en ceunta que el bitcoin tiene un período de acuulación de 3-4 años y luego sube puede que sea así, ahora bien el problema de ahora está en las guerras y todo lo que tiene que ver con las cosas de problemas económicis que hay, la casi caída del dólar por un crash similar a la crisis del 2008 o algo así, puede que esté que pase, entonces no es que se use el btc antes que los bancos, sino que será súper valioso el bitcoin frente a los bancos, diero fiat, aunque difiera de muchos pensamientos de economistas destacados, para mi el bitcoin es uno de los refugios más seguros que hay, es algo así como que el btc no te fallará mientas el sistema mundial de la moneda si, entonces el dinero fiat seguirá, pero el bitcoin siempre será valioso, tal vez si se siga usando en un futuro el dinero fiat, pero el btc siempre será al menos para mi más valioso.

With cryptocurrency becoming more popular, newbies these days are very aggresive when they invest on crypto which most of them think that it is a quick rich scheme. They are easily influenced on what they saw on internet platforms like tiktok or youtube. They are too focused on the potential profit of investing in crypto that they tend to forgot learning its fundamentals.
This is the mindset of every newbie, they only see cryptocurrency as something that can only bring profits.  Most newbie are not aware that crypto is volatile because most of them fails to make research to understand what crypto is all about. I have been lots of people who are making plans to start up cryptocurrency and all this people I have seen they have the same mindset toward cryptocurrency. Newbies finds it difficult to do some research about cryptocurrency to understand the risk factors .

The mentallity of rookies is very manipulable and impressionable, it is only enough for them to see on YouTube or Instagram someone who makes a lot of money and who shows them a life of millionaires, which in most cases is totally false, but even so they get carried away and lose a lot of money, because they do not understand that trading is complicated and that you can only make a lot of money if you operate with a lot of capital and with little capital it is in the very long term, because it is best to see trading as if it were a business, but not a way to become a millionaire, because it is the worst mistake that can be made and many do it, so that is where the big losses come from.

In order to trade you must employ some of your personal strategies.If you don't have any outside knowledge then you can never get any good from trading platform It is not always possible to make more money with technical strategies. Sometimes you need to survive on the trading platform by using personal strategies.
Having a personal strategy is really important in trading.If you don't have any personal strategy then you will never achieve anything good there.And whenever you can use a personal strategy to become successful, you can feel that you have achieved something good in your life.So instead of always using this technical technique, sometimes it is better to think about being successful by using personal techniques in some cases.

In my personal opinion, each person has their way of seeing the trade, and sometimes these people have the correct vision of the market, for me things can turn out like this, I currently consider that I lack more security to determine what can happen in the market. market, that is why it is so difficult for me to operate in BTC and in the crypto market, there are many fundamentals, they can be developed or not, but I think that everything that is happening in the world is very new, and we are seeing the reactions of the markets Given these new events, where there are many rumors of war, it is more difficult for BTC to achieve an overwhelming bullish trend.
