As the cherry on top, every now and then, there's an altcoin which shoots up in price ridiculously over a very short period of time. This is most likely manipulated and it motivates more people to store up as many shitcoins as possible, 'afterall, they are only a few cents each and could be worth thousands in the future'.

More of this would happen as the general cryptocurrency market begins to turn bullish and fomo sets in.

They are scammers. Those are the things I don't like in casinos, someone would deposit money without any problem and start staking and after playing games, he won and when it is time to withdraw them story upon story what nonsense is that. Op if I will tell you a best and reliable casino to have your funds is BC Game. In BC.Game you don't have to pass through all that. Once you win and ask for withdraw, your money will straight to your wallet without questions. If you obey the rule then there is nothing to worry about. You can use bc.game to have fun in the gambling industry.

It is only scam casinos ask those questions like wolf.bet. But legit casinos are not like that.

My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and  she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.
She complained bitterly and pitifully because she struggled to safe such amount of money.

Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.

Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?

I think the bull market began when we first heard about this Blackrock ETF. Right now I wouldn’t say it’s beginning. Maybe we are in the middle of it or even towards the end.

Keep in mind that many are expecting the etf approval to be an sell the news event just like the previous bitcoin futures, coinbase ICOs and bitcoin futures etf. And that is if it’s approved. This Wednesday it’s possible the Ark etf might get rejected and next week all those etfs might get delayed. If this happens we might visit $30K area fairly quickly.

After Bitcoin halving, the block reward for miners go become half, i.e from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. The law of supply and demand go come take effect, as the supply reduce and the demand go increase, this go help to drive the price up. When we enter bull season, dem no go announce am for news lol. Na from the market you go know, the market go turn green, the price of bitcoin go shoot up and other altcoins like ETH, SOL, BNB, XMR, XRP etc. go follow experience price surge.

How can we be so sure that you are telling the truth and that this is not self made up story?

If someone is not careful of scammers, crypto scammer are easy to locate someone. When I was new to crypto, I saw many cloud mining services but users on this forum helped me to know that they are scammers.

In crypto, it is good to be careful and avoid scam.

I am from India and being in a country that has the biggest population in the world I can relate to your topic. What I do not understand is your comparison of land with Bitcoin the reason being land is physical and Bitcoin is virtual. Buying land has more obligations than buying Bitcoin as you would need to go through multiple paperwork. The next issue is that the land is governed by the government ruling that land whereas Bitcoin is decentralized. Comparing Bitcoin with land based on its price does not fit as Bitcoin has many more positive aspects than a piece of land. While I agree that both the price of land and Bitcoin are unstoppable, understand this Bitcoin is responsible for everyone being aware of an ecosystem that is decentralized while land is a centralized entity and its price is controlled by the government.

There is no investment that is totally risk free, likewise there is no investment that feature only gains

Therefore, as a crypto investor, have it at the back of your mind that , there might be losses or gains.

But then there are principles to apply as investment risk management for every professional investor.

1. Identification of possible investment: Here the investmentor must think through the business and the risks that might be likely faced such as fall in prices, scam schemes or delayed disbursement and other related problems.

2. Analysing of possible investment: A professional investor must analyse the possible or suspected risks of investment in that particular business. It is a practice of trying to foresee the possible losses or gains.

3. The investor must plan down possible risk control mechanisms to prepare the groups for possible updates.

4. Then finance the business: In financing business, the capital must be within the dictates of the risks foreseen. In this way, there will be minimum losses.

Decades ago, when the purchasing power of the US dollar was decent and the inflation levels were relatively low, the people used to save money in the bank. Nowadays, putting money in the bank and waiting for interest doesn't work anymore. The people are seeking for other ways to save and invest money-real estate, investment funds, hedge funds, crypto, etc. This increases the overall risk, but it also brings higher returns.
Anyway, the money printing machine of the Federal Reserve should be blamed for all this. We just have to wait for the fiat financial system to collapse completely, before the alternative rises from the ashes. By the way, I don't believe that the alternative will be Bitcoin or crypto.

If you want to enjoy the win properly you can't be greedy after the win you have to withdraw your money the loss will be less here. Not everyone can save their account properly. If you leave it and hope for a big win then there is a possibility of losing everything again. That's why you should be safe with limited wins rather than big wins. There are many gamblers who don't want to understand these rules so they are far behind in winning.

I have come to realise that what is stopping some people from hodling Bitcoin is not because they do not have patience to stick to their investment. Having a source of income is the only way people can exercise patience to invest bitcoin.  It is not possible for one who is hungry and has bitcoin in the wallet and would not want to sell the bitcoin to quench the hunger.

While planning to invest in bitcoin people needs consider to have a steady flow of income , if this is not available no amount of patience can be able to make hodling to take place. When their is a flow of money one can always look on to for survival and to solve financial problems this is when we can now talk about having patience to hodl bitcoin to gain profit. It something that result to the lack of patience,  it can hunger or meeting up the daily needs,  if this can be solved it is easy in hodling Bitcoin.

Unlike before, if I want to send money to someone that is not in my country, I have no option than to use fiat which can be very slow and of high fee. Although bitcoin fee right now is also high but I can send it to the person aboard which would be very fast. If I want to make an foreign online payment, my country is allowed to pay but the bank is declining the transaction. I used bitcoin for the payment. There are times that fiat will fail someone as it is centrally controlled. But I still use fiat for making payments, especially locally which is fast and cheap.. Locally, I see no reason to use bitcoin.

Most of my transactions are local transactions. I use fiat for local transactions. Most of my transactions are local transactions. This always still makes me see bitcoin more as an investment. I have bitcoin because I invested in it. But sometimes I use it for payment. But what I noticed is that people use bitcoin to hedge against inflation and also as an investment, than to be used for P2P transaction. But we should still know that if you use bitcoin for investment, that is not affecting its purpose for P2P transactions.

How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.

Many people just get this belief say since nah wetin concern internet them no fit do anything called investment, unknowing to them that is the best place to invest on.
Even my uncle's saw it as a scamming thing, but they never knew it's the best place you can save any amount of your income in life.
And still have access to your money at anytime you need  access to your investment. You all should invest online and see how your life will change for good.

Initially before this forum , I was active in trading crypto which sometimes my analysis will enter for me and I will make some money and at a point the phobia of loss enveloped my thought and I stopped trading crypto because of series of losses but when I joined the forum ( bitcointalk) I read a thread that talked about patience and that all the newbies should Hodl coins instead of trading and that they should go through what the high ranked members post before making their own post and after going through series of threads I decided to read as much as I can and to hodl as much as I can and now all my technical analysis are going towards my direction and the chances of loss has reduced however, I thank all the High ranked members for their advice and at same time ,I urge all the newbies to be patient enough to read more post before posting .

We still need both ways: circulation and holding. The former one keeps the liquidity pool active and there is enough volume for us to work with daily transactions. This could be from exchanging Bitcoins to selling or buying them directly on an exchanger or from peer. The later one is needed so that there will be resistance pressure building everywhere. You see the game of financials run with these two parameters. If not then ecosystem of Bitcoin can crumble real bad. Imagine if no one is holding then Bitcoin being publicly active might just not become resistant due to its high volatility. So at some point we need that pressure for sure. If they are holding then thats good. If they are transacting then its better too.

Yesterday, when I was playing Crash, I have caught myself thinking that I watch on how much people bet, how much they won and lose. First I have felt envy, when I saw one guy bet 200-300 bucks all the time for half and hour and cashed out with 2+ multiplier. Among bets in range of 1 sat to a dollar, he was really standing out. Then I have noticed a guy who was betting a dollar and did not cash out until rocket passes 10x. I was also amazed how a guy bet 1k, and lost it when the rocket banged at 1.00x, then he immediately made another 1k bet and the rocket banged at 1.03x. Then I saw him winning +5k bucks.

That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.

Without giving away too much personal info, I have a chronic disease. I've had this disease for a decade and have had a lot of treatment for it, but it is winning. I likely only have a few months left. And so, I bid you all farewell. I'll be spending as much of my remaining time as possible with my family. In a week or two, once this thread has run its course, I'll ask theymos to lock this account.

I have learnt a lot from many of you, and I hope many of you have learnt something from me. Although we will never meet, I would have loved to share a beer with many of you, and I hope you'll remember me fondly.

Sports betting arbitrage is a strategy in which a player takes advantage of discrepancies in the odds offered by sportbetting sites to obtain profit. Have any of you tried to make money this way? what difficulties did you encounter? What bookmakers did you use? Have any of you had problems with bookmakers because of this? Why does it bother them anyway?
