Back in the days when crypto markets were going up like crazy seminars were held constantly in my city and country. Now you rarely see one, but I might just look to find some sponsors and organise some meet-ups. Thanks for the inspiration!

P.S. ATMs are multiplying in my city as well, especially in malls.

I have always been a major fan of Eurovision though I haven't attended a live show yet. But I've literally watched it with my family every year since I was a little kid. It is awesome to have an international song contest with such a great tradition.

The majority of my local bookies have quotations for the Eurovision event, but hopefully some crypto online casinos will offer them too this year as well. Gotta make some time to watch the music videos of each participant.

Well this is a wisest move I have seen in a while. Not only it will stop people gambling away their life by getting into gambling debt(at least partially), but some people might also look into alternatives like buying cryptocurrencies and playing with them - or maybe taking a loan on them for gambling - which I HIGHLY DON'T recommend.

This decision will take its toll on the gambling industry though.. Curious to see some stats after the law is enforced.

I think we should make a distinction between bounties and already established projects signature campaigns which pay in liquid cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. In the former case funds are most often escrowed as well so the risk of the participant is greatly diminished.

There is a dapp "store" aka aggregator named dapp . com. They have all kind of dapps there and though I am not in any way affiliated with them I'd suggest using one of their advertising packages or at least list your dapp there for free.

Then of course you can create contests on forums, on social media, etc. There are so many ways in which you can effectively promote. I wish you success!

Actually it is not foolishness, but a native trait of the human psychology to become complacent and preserve our energies. Instinctively we just need food,water and shelter. After we have achieved that we need a surplus of motivation and will to get out of our so-called "confort zones" and achieve what we propose. Yet there are few people who actually do that. Ever wondered why the world wealth is so concentrated?

In your case people are more likely to give their money to a stranger than to LEARN and UNDERSTAND the technology. Most of us are looking for ways to increase our income and decrease the resources spent for that, but that's not how it works, right..

You know the saying: "buy the rumour & sell the news". As far as I know POWR is an old coin that went through the bear market. Also after a quick look on their website they seem legit, but that doesn't stop it to be pumped and dumped by some whales. That's why you need to choose your strategy very carefully and stick to it. For example are you an investor or a trader? If you're looking for short-term gains, what will you base your decisions on? - You don't want to blindly enter the market and/or FOMO yourself into it. That's exactly why over 90% of traders lose money.

If you want to play for longer time with the same bankroll, just lower your stake per bet and don't use progressive systems like Martingale, Fibonacci, etc.
You can't "advance" in gambling - whatever you do you will lose money over time due to the house edge. It's all a matter of statistics, don't expect to make constant profits, instead expect to make constant losses. I see it as a form of entertainment - more bets = more risk, the lower the stake, the lower the risk, BUT at the same time less risk per bet might mean less adrenaline/fun for you. So it is kind of a double-edged sword if you know what I mean.

The disclaimer should be something like this: "Due to the nature of the gambling industry there is no guarantee rrgarding the result of your activities with or without using a script. You should only risk what you can afford to lose."

Guys, don't get misleaded. There is no script in thr world that can beat a statistical advantage. Play only for fun!

I agree. I don't see any incentive for miners whose production(operational) cost is not covered by the market price. I mean they could be more profitable by just buying bitcoin on spot and only plug their gear in when they should be profitable or even sell their rigs to fiable companies in other countries, but then we'll have a centralization problem..

I think that bounties are much less effective these days for the organisers because they are mainly addressed to retail investors which are either out of the market as all those ICO scams and negative ROIs scared the hell out of them or they are putting less risk, thus it is much more productive for projects to focus on institutional investors.

Though that doesn't mean you can't catch a golden goose here and there.
I'll say this: if you don't have better means to make money, go ahead and hunt for bounties haha

There are many factors contributing to the price of Bitcoin, but you can't just say that halving the reward will double the mining costs as well. Even if that were true it would point us to about $15k-$20k at the current mining costs. But again some miners could drop out from the grid, some will add more equipment. Maybe Bitmain releases more efficient rigs. It is quite hard to quantify the cost of mining 1 BTC if you're not an actual operator.

Many countries have very low electricity fees that offer a significant advantage. So if anyone wants to get into Bitcoin mining I'd suggest researching electricity fees in various states around the globe. I think you can go as low as free electricity in some ares so you would only need to off-set the mining gear costs.

Great strategy! This way the chance to actually "burn" the bitcoins by losing them is minimized. I know many people, myself included, who dumps flyers in the first garbage can once they receive it.
You might want to do start a vlog haha I'm sure you would get a lot of attention from the crypto community.

Delete it, format it, destroy it, throw it away if you hold a significant amount and you don't want anyone to "peek" into your wallet. But be sure you have a paper or hardware backup somewhere else. That's why Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies inspire freedom - because no one can access your wallet if you take good care of it.

There are more sophisticated ways out there like app-level or phone-level encryption, but I suggest you to do a little bit of online research on that.

That's a very helpful post and I do agree that for an addicted gambler is not that easy to stop. There is a lot happening in our subconscious and overall the human psychology is very complex. One might associate the achievement of all his dreams with gambling. He sees that as the easiest way to enrich himself so he keeps trying to win the "pot", but I think through education and will anyone can get rid of this vice.

It all starts from this statement: "Gambling hasn't been created for people to make money, but instead it is a business that relies on statistics and mathematical advantage to make money." - It is a form of entertainment after all. I recommend looking at it like at a cinema ticket.

Check your PM please.

I certainly agree with the OP. The only venues to make money in the gambling industry are sportsbetting, poker and I would add blackjack, yet I don't think counting cards is viable anymore as most of the decks are continuously shuffled.

My question is what income did you have before sustaining yourself solely from gambling?
Also doesn't it bother you that your "job" doesn't add any contribution to the society? I mean you're taking money from the casino and that's it - playing your edge. At least a trader provides liquidity in the markets for the hedgers while a gambler doesn't have much impact unless you do something significant with the profits which is another story I guess.
