It could still be considered as bullish though if we reach around $40,000 at the end of the year. The lowest price that we got is $15,500 last year. So that is a big increased in the price already if we touch based like $35,000-$40,000.


It's really difficult if we look at the start of the November, for the start of the week though, it seems that there are selling already as we fall from mids $34,000 when we thought that the price will continue to go up and breach at least $36,000.

So many things can still happen in the next week or so at least this November, others say that this could a bull trap. And there are speculations that we might go down to $32,000 before we can go up to $40,000. So many scenarios and we really don't know where the price will move at the end of this month or even this 2023.

It's very difficult to see how it will affect addicted gamblers though, I mean in gambling there could be a lot of reasons why individuals became addicted though and that should be the point of attack to make them quit. It could be that in the beginning, this individuals just wanted to feel what gambling is, and so we say that we gamble for fun and entertainment. But it can go backfire in the long run and become addicted gamblers. There are also who want to escape from their depression, thus gambling for hours just to forgot their problems.

So it might not be an effective method to have this graphic content and images to show what will be the effect of gambling as everyone has his and her reasons to gamble. So there's no one size fits all strategy. Still up to the person to quit and stop gambling and it could be better if they are going to seek professional help to stop.

I don't know, but as a boxing fan, I wouldn't cash out early though, I wanted to see the upset being completed by the boxer, in this case, Prograis and then earlier we have a good fight in Ngannou vs Fury and we always got the win if not for those controversial score by the judges, (but it has been discussed already on it's own thread and it's very highly contested subject.)

So for me and to make the fight more exciting as we watch it, no early cashing out, if I lose my bet, that's it, no regrets whatsoever. At least you can see that the fight is really that good and you have a chance to win big money and that is the risk that you understand when you bet on the underdog.

I guess it is to be expected, specially when a new technology like Bitcoin comes along as it is the first time that we have witnessed crypto (although we have something prior and it gave Satoshi his inspiration). And with that, it's human nature to be afraid of what's new as we resists change, specially the fiat and the banking system. They see crypto more of a threat, but for us it's a alternative.

And Bitcoin is still fairly young to begin with, so there is going to be a learning curved, and there will be negative things that we will here from it's detractors specially in 2017 when it was one of the best year for Bitcoin as people around the world was very curious at the same time there are a lot of attacks. Nevertheless, we will continue to march in the next 10 years or so and I don't think that those misinformation will be enough to stop this revolution.

I think not only TV subscriptions, but there could be ways not just for you but for others to cut their cost as we all know that everything now is very expensive. Even going to cinema or going out to eat or even gambling habits could be eliminated or at least be minimized to a certain extend and then put that money to invest in Bitcoin or any other assets for that matter.

And I think it's no secret though, we have heard this from successful investors, first they pay off their debts, and not cut their living cost and they call it delayed gratification. So you have to take a lot of sacrifices if you want to be a investor and doesn't have that big capital to begin with.

It's going to be boring for the majority of us, but we should prioritized thing and make the right decision, not just for us, but for our families as well.

If we look though at the past history of Bitcoin, it seems that you are correct, last quarter of the year is very big for us as maybe one reason is that everyone is preparing for the block halving and so we think that they are buying as the price is still very cheap at this point. Halving is still next year, but it's better if we are going to invest like 5 - 6 months before the actual date.

So for know I think that is the mentality of most investors, specially long term, they look past this year and wanted to be ready for the next bull run in the next 2 years. But for shor term investors, they might want to sell some when the price reaches $40k-$50k at the end of the year to make profits.

Definitely, win-win situation for everyone, regardless of what is their goal in the market. They have just to be smart on when to sell and then when to reinvest.

I think that's what the OP is trying to say here, in Stake you will see the bet of others gamblers, unless they want to make their account private. Buti in any case, you might want to try this strategy and see how it fits you. Yes there is risk, but what are the chances that you suddenly copy a gambler with a huge bet odds like 500x-1000x and then won? That will be the best feeling of a gambler and you will have to thank that individual for giving you that win.

But then again, it's not always going to work your way, still base on luck. So yeah, maybe for some at least try it once and see how it goes for you. Just a little money wouldn't hurt us, IMHO.

Maybe as a senior and widowed, perhaps he is just enjoying his life? And it seems from the way you portray him, he is rich with just a house helper with him all the time. So he can pay that house helper to be with him and so maybe he has nothing to do in his everyday life. His children are no longer with him, so just imagine you were like in the 70's and you are alone then of course you will think of some ways and maybe gambling is his escape in the last remaining days of his life.


Very hard to advise mate, it's really up to you. Maybe you can tell his children in a nice way about their parents playing and that your concern is that he might turn into a gambling addict, simply as that. So it's really up to them on how they are going to react, if they are professionals already maybe they know what is up already or perhaps they have an idea that their father is already on gambling.

Not sure though if these casinos are willing because it's going to affect them, business wise. I think for me the initiative should come from the government themselves. But in any case, maybe there are also some well known casinos who are directly giving money to the government to create those sites to help their population. It might not be known to us, but with the casinos making huge money and government somewhat putting pressures on them and work hand in hand, yeah there might a good way for the casinos to show their support.

They've already have this kind of "gambling responsible" program or self-exclusion, I see this from online and traditional based casinos already.

You can put it that way, it's kinda giving back to the community and help those who become addicted to gambling. But then again, it's going to be cyclical as gamblers are born like every minute or at least someone is trying to get their hands on gambling.

We did have a fight this weekends with Cordina vs Edward Vazquez. I wouldn't say it's a good fight but Cordina is the huge favorite here and I thought that he is going to knockout Vazquez. However, the fight lasted the full 12 rounds and won on a majority decision and retained his IBF super featherweight.

This is Cordina's second reign as he was stripped in 2022 because he had a injury and can't defend his belt.

And this is good because next we will see Navarette fighting Conceição in the undercard of Stevenson vs Delos Santos. Most likely the winner could face Cordina for the unification fight and it could be very exciting.

I guess there's no difference at all in my opinion, everyone connects spirituality with religion because we can't discuss one without mentioning the others. So in this context, I believed that the OP is talking about a supreme being regardless of what religion we have and asking everyone if there is such a connection.

Of course some of us here might not believed in God so it's a moot point for them. There is no cause and effect, everything happen to us because of the result of what we do in life including gambling. But for those who are into religion and let's say a practicing Christian or Catholic, of course, it's a sin and we should get God involved in our gambling and ask for his divine assistance because it will not happen. Gambling is still base on luck and risk.

Times has really change isn't it, I remember way back when we can't watch the fight live and it's always delayed in our country. The only way to known the score is to tune in in the old and traditional way, radio.

As for this fight, yeah, it's a bit controversial as many have thought that Ngannou won the fight specially he scored that knockdown to make the score 10-8. But it was just one round and there are a lot of rounds that is very close hard to score. But as we all know, usually if that is the case, the judges are going to award the score to the champion, so here, that is why the score or at least 2 of the judges saw it for Fury.

But if Ngannou wanted to proved himself, he just have to wait, for sure there are boxers that is willing to fight him, not just those in the top, but maybe in the top 5-10 because it's a win-win situation, they will get to test how good Francis really is, and obviously the money that they are going to get fighting one of the most hype boxers right now.

True, I mean in the pandemic, we have seen a lot of crypto based gambling suddenly popping out in our community and up to this day they are still in the mix and the competition are very tough as they wanted to take a big slice on this billion dollar industry. So once in a while we will see new casinos, unlike land base wherein we haven't heard any new one because just the cost of establishing one is billion dollar and it might take years before they can get a decent ROI.

So definitely competition is here and I will not be surprised if crypto based will be on the top of the game right now. Maybe the OP is right that crypto gamblers are not that easily trick because of the way we wanted to play in this casinos, we looks for trust and reputation before we will deposit some money and play with.

The sentiments has really shifted, and now we are in a bullish state, and so just recently we have seen the price going above $35,000 so that is a good sign that this November, we might see the continuation of the bullishness that we have in October. Just imagine the spike, from $28k-$35.

And then from the lowest low last year same time, of $15,500 to the current price. And if I'm not mistaken that is a big $127% spike already.

So this is just the beginning, this November might be another great month for us, and we might see $40,000 for the first time this cycle.

Not to burst the bubble to the OP, but that's how everyone here started, from small capital and low budget and we say that we are in control of everything and that we will not get addicted. But years later, down the road, we become addicted to it, regardless if you are a sports bettor or play any other games like slot machines etc.

Of course everyone will be affected in real life, specially as I have said, if you become addicted to it. But we can't advise you not to gamble as we all have gambling signatures here. The best thing to do is just have control and that is the only advise that we can give to you.

Yeah, it could be around that price range and I think that's where the numbers are being predicted as well by December or early next year, like $40,000-$50,000. And so if the pattern continues maybe just a little +/- but still around that ball park number.

And with that, we should be expecting the economics picture of Bitcoin going to improvement in the next two months. Bullish sentiments is still up in the air and we all know that it's hard to go against that. So we will see and hopefully the pattern is still valid for this 2023.

It's fair though that team Tapales will request this kind of testing. And I think Inoue has been doing this as well every other fight. It's that maybe this is just highlighted by the camp of Tapales and make some noises about this. They could have their own allegations, but if there is no evidence, we could assume that Inoue is really clean and hasn't taken any drugs.

As for the gloves, I don't think it's significant though or has bearing on the result of the fight. Although it will favor Inoue to have thin gloves as he is the power puncher it could also backfire on him as it could case some hand injuries.

This is also what I'm thinking when I saw news about Suga O'Malley mentioning Shakur Stevenson as his possible opponents in the future. I mean he wanted to follow the footsteps of no less than Conor McGregor who become one of the most successful MMA fighter who did go over boxing and fight Floyd Mayweather.

And perhaps this is a insurance for him that if he will ever retire from MMA, then maybe he could find a worthy opponent in the future that could bring him money. And currently, Shakur is very hot so why not Suga uses his name and hype it?

Might be a different story in the bull run, but we will see, currently everything has settled down. And if I remember correctly, a few months back we were caught by the big hype of BRC-20 inscriptions, causing the fees to spike. But we all know that this kind of hype won't do damage to Bitcoin's network in the long run. We give them some time and when finally the hype goes down, the fees are back to normal and we can all send at least from 1 - sat/vByte being confirmed without any delays.

But as I have said, it could be different when the bull run arrives as there could be a lot of transactions and everyone wanted to go first in the line and might increased their fees to get confirmations.

Yes, as far as I know, Tornado Cash smart contract is immutable so anyone can create to interact with the smart contract.

However, we really don't know the people behind this new site, so it's better to just stay away from this website. And if in any case this new website turns out to be rea or safel, then there is the risk that it could be put down anytime soon by the authorities.
