Most people do not have the minds to learn things they rather not learn or care. I personally went to a year long coding school, it was just about teaching people C# and some other minor stuff, and at the end of the day I ended up getting a certificate from there that said I can code in C#, and at that moment I was actually at a very very very beginner level, not even like someone could hire me, I was that bad but at least I knew some stuff, nowadays I have zero idea what that was all about and can't do anything about it.

All of this comes down to one thing; it doesn't matter how much information is out there, if you do not want to learn, you will not learn it. I have learned Latin all by myself, still suck at it but I at least learned a bit of it all from studying from online courses, but I went to a year long c# course and couldn't learn a thing. This is exactly why people can learn what they want to learn, but if they dislike the topic you can throw every book at them and they will not learn a thing.

It is easier to hold compared to anything, period. I mean trading and what not causes so much commotion but if you are not good at it you are not going to enjoy any profits from it. When you are holding, all you have to do is nothing, just keep on waiting until the price reaches a level you are fine with and that is going to be fine. I personally have done a lot more profit by just buying and holding than any other method and that is going to be basically the case for a long time, it is not going to change for me nor anyone else.

However when you are richer you have the chance to spend 100 million on long term investing while spending a million dollars on smaller cap stuff, can buy 10k dollars worth of small stuff 100 times over, and that is why I believe holding is easier when you are not rich, because you do not have a room to work with hence keep on holding.

Not a bad idea but there will be some problems with an ombudsman put in place.

1- Not all casinos will agree to share information with the ombudsman.
2- The ombudsman might be operating legally for casinos from one country or few but how would you cover all the casinos
3- What happens if the casino claims something else and the player says something else because obviously data can be faked by the casino
4- A large number of fake complaints will pile up and take ages to solve them

I guess it makes sense to not care about it, think about it who would want to wager 40+ times of your whole deposit just to get it? So let's say you deposited 1000 dollars, and they tell you that they will give you 1000 dollars more (usually capped at 500 but whatever) that means you will have 2000 dollars, but you need to wager 40x on your original deposit, which means 40k.

So with 2k dollars in your bankroll, you need to find a way to gamble all the way to 40k, and that means gambling all-in with your initial whole bankroll nearly 2x times, of course at certain point it becomes easier, but that is still nearly 5x all in on 2x chance for example. I rather gamble the way I normally do and ignore that deposit bonus at all, why risk something so huge, it just doesn't make sense to me. Or maybe you just do not need to withdraw at all and you can gamble tiny amounts for weeks before you can withdraw.

I don’t think they are going to lose clients because of that, moreover anyone that is making use of Binance should be aware that the exchange is a centralized exchange so they can take any turn at any time. So, you just have to be ready for it to happen at any time.

Anyone that is looking for truly decentralized platforms already knows where they should be looking for it, and Binance is not really the answer to that, it’s just decentralized to some extent. I won’t be surprised if they happen to be fully centralized in years to come. But, I think the reason why they shortened the amount of BTC you can withdraw is because there has been an increase in the price of BTC per dollar, so they want to match it.

Yup, it’s very important to take your profit before the market goes down.
But, you can’t tell when the market is going to crash again. It is now up to you to know what you really want.

You can decide to set a target that you think will be okay for you to take profit and when the market reaches that level you can decide to take your profit, or if you feel that the market is still going to keep increasing, you can just take a bit of it and leave the rest as you continue to watch the market. Anyone who is trader always has to be watching the market steady so that you won’t lose. You can set your stop loss as well when you’re trading to limit the loss.

Well, yeah and this is a natural growth and much more solid than the pumped market a few months back. Let's be honest, we all know why the price went as high as it did a couple of months ago, it was all because of Elon Musk's impact and his support towards Bitcoins and even accepting crypto for Tesla car purchases.

Support from small countries helps in the longer term while small good news from a big nation like the United States can disrupt or pump the market. I always feel organic and sustained growth is far superior to pumping.

I have been around for 8 years, I am practically a veteran in crypto world, there are many people who have been here for 8 years or more, but the majority is brand new compared to me. Even with all of that I still do not have too much money because even though I was here, I didn't spend too much of my money in crypto, I even managed to mind 0.25 or so bitcoin with my laptop, that is how long I have been here and I still failed to buy a lot, which is a shame of course but I still consider myself lucky to be here.

After all of that I still do not tell my friends what to do, I do not teach them everything, I just forward them to binance knowledge base and they can read everything they want there, which is what it was created for, if they are serious about it then they can read and learn a lot about it, if they are not serious about it then they will end up losing a lot of money.

While we have you here and answering questions, will you be doing a lot more marketing on the gambling side of things? Or even campaigns that are much bigger? The token thing has been great and all but we really need to have some sort of big marketing on the casino part as well so that we could continue down this path without problem.

I get that not many people enjoy spending so much money on marketing and not see a direct result, but I can promise you it is a long term deal where whatever you spend will get back to you in the long run. Without the casino the token doesn't worth anything at all, none of this worths anything at all, you really need to have some sort of big marketing move for it. While you are getting these new games for example, that could be a great time to do a huge marketing right? You can just promote that to all of bitcointalk and outside world.

I finally lost my first bet on Olympics this year. I wagered on Turkey to win against Italy in women volleyball but they ended up losing in a big fashion. After beating China which was the best team of the whole tournament, I was thinking maybe there was a chance that they could beat everyone, because beating a big team usually indicates how great you are as well. However as it turns out just like their football team that managed to beat France and Netherlands and then lose every game in euros, the volleyball team seems the same as well, beating a great team and then start losing afterwards. Maybe it is a national thing I do not know.

In the end it is just one loss for me and I am doing fine, especially after such a bad euro cup wagering for me that ended with finally a break even on the very last game, I am happy that Olympics is doing much better for my bankroll.

The fact that nobody talks about how there is this made up money in 2008 that made some people billionaire. I mean it is insane to think about how some people became insanely rich just because we created our own coins. I once bought a car thanks to it, how insane is that?

We are basically in the world of made up richness and that really confuses me a lot sometimes, like how the hell did I became so rich, who paid for the price to go up. Then it hits you, the real weird thing "nobody has to buy for the price to go up", yes you heard it right, there could be ZERO buying and the price can still go up, that is the most weird thing ever, how? If collectively all of humanity decides that bitcoin worths 100k, then everyone will remove their orders and put them on sale at 100k and won't sell under that price, doesn't require any buyer, that is just what sellers requests all together.

The limited part is not really a big problem because even though there is a limited supply of oil in the world, there are still enough out there that we could actually use it for decades, I mean we literally find more oil than we ever need every single year, there was a poind during last year’s pandemic moments where oil became negative price, yes that’s right you had to pay to own something and then pay to keep owning it instead of being able to sell it, you had to pay to sell it instead of getting paid.

These are all huge things in the oil world that proves that oil is not lacking in amount. However, the fact that it is killing the world for us is the thing we should be looking at, in 50 years world will not be a place where humans can survive this easily, our life will become a whole survival movie and even water will be a commodity we will need, we can survive this only if we move to renewable energy and pollute the world less.

Yeah it's the government, not people. I understand that government needs to know who sends money to who, that "sort of" makes sense, obviously it is not good for privacy and some people are very much against it, but I at least can understand it a bit.

What I do not understand however is that why people bother with it so much, are you hiding something? My government knows exactly how much I own and how much I made and I paid taxes based on that, it is not even about them sending me any information, I did it all with my accountant, I do it every month.

This includes every single thing I spend as well, since I am a freelancer I have the luxury to even claim food as expense since my home is my office so I eat at my office while eating at home, so they know basically EVERYTHING, like literally to the garbage bag level, to what I eat every day level. I do not mind, since.. like why would I care if they know it? Why would it matter if government knows I ate a bagel this morning?

Although I agree with you, I must say that small capital is just not worth trading with. I will give a few reasons for it.

- You will never have the confidence of doing trades because you don't have the capital to fall on for your mistakes.

- If you trade too small, you might wonder whether it's the right utilization of your time or not. Spending the whole day in front of your computer only to earn a few dollars isn't worth it IMHO.

I mean, I am not encouraging people to take loans and go big but at least ensure the time you spend on your trading is getting you something fruitful.

And people will even take loans to fund their trading because the demo trading account they used to trade at, was giving them profits. It's much easier to trade with a demo account given the funds are virtual and the profit and losses are imaginary and once you start trading with real money, you will realize the real pressure when real money is at risk.

Trading either for crypto or stocks should be mastered before jumping in with a mammoth capital. I laugh at all the talks about a bugger bankroll because more is your bankroll it will only pull you back from taking some carefree decisions which sometimes is important in crypto trading. At least with smaller bankroll, you won't be digging a hole for yourself.

I would advise people to stay away from the message boards in casinos honestly. I know that people like to chat with others time to time but the reality is that we are talking about something basically just a situation where there are too many "kids", not really kids in age (I hope, because that is illegal for them to do) but kids in mind and that is why I keep away from it.

This is not just about here neither, it is about every casino and sportsbook out there, too many people who are saying edgy stuff to get attention, what is so obvious that is wrong? 2+2=4 right? They will say it is 22 so that they can get attention, but do this in a lot more immoral and unethical stuff obviously and they will always try to get away with the maximum allowed without getting banned. I just dislike to get in heated arguments with people who are in love with the whole idea of argument itself, they want it.

Experienced gambler would first know not to be there to begin with. Any experience gambler would know how to say no towards free drinks in a real casino as well, because you know you are getting a good deal on the free drink since you can drink more than you could lose and get ahead of the profit in that way even if you ended up losing a few, but why risk the possibility of getting drunk and losing everything? That is the risk you are taking when you are accepting a drink there. Same goes here, why take the risk of seeing some woman naked when you could always do that online anyway?

I mean just write "boob" on google and you will get some and we all know it is a lot more detailed than that inside the internet world, why would I risk all of my money while gambling just because I may have a chance to see them? That is why any experienced player will not ignore it while playing, they will not play there at all.

They might as well introduce their own token. I am not so sure whether this article right. This is not the first time I am seeing a news like this, but it has never happened. But it wouldn’t be bad to believe that they are working on something like that, that’s if they really hired Blockchain experts as some has said. When the time is right we are going to know what they are really working on, whether they are trying to implement Bitcoin as a method of payment on their platform or they are just trying to create their own token and use it instead of Bitcoin?

Unfortunately, newbies will always invest into whatever the influencers say and in the crypto world Elon Musk became one of the biggest crypto investors of all time, dude managed to manipulate the market so much that some useless coin like doge ended up going nearly 30x in few months, it wasn't even high during 2020, it is purely 2021 that we saw doge going up so much and without any reason at all as well.

This is not something he was capable of doing all by himself, a lot of people had to trust and believe him whenever he said something in order to have that kind of power which means others gave him that power via using their money according to whatever he says. I understand that it is hard to understand why would anyone invest into doge just because he said it, makes zero sense, but there were way too many people that did it and I do not see how we can become immune to it since it is already something very silly.

That "eventually" is the most important part of your message that nobody understands. You are right that it will eventually be back and with the next bull we are going to see bitcoin break over 100k very easily, maybe even 200k, anyone who says it is impossible or not going to happen do not know how bitcoin moves, we were at around 4-6k range just last spring and in a year we moved from there to 64k, if you told people it will be 60k back then they would still it is impossible as well but we have seen how possible it was.

Same will happen in a few years, we are going to see it 100k+ and even 200k+ and all the other coins going up like that, and with the next altseason we are going to see it go up a whole lot as well, we will see ethereum at 10-20k easily, bnb at 5k and so forth. All we have to do is wait for it to happen, because it will "eventually" happen.
