You did what you had to do and you have the means to solve your problem, it's not your fault that you have to get out/sell early, I'm sure any one of us in this forum would do the same thing. The only lesson that I can pick up from this is that you have to increase your means of making money and not just concentrate on one thing just because it gave you good fortune in the past for relying on it.
902  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has a bad reputation (we should fix it) on: April 09, 2023, 02:42:12 AM
Hello everyone!
I've been thinking a lot about Bitcoin adoption lately and I think that adoption is still pretty slow partly because of the Bitcoin reputation. Despite it being a progressive technology of the future, a lot of people still think that it's a joke.
I don't think it's slow, adoption also takes a long time so I don't know where you're getting this. Regarding the reputation, can you list at least some reasons as to why do you think that it's the reason that the adoption is slow. Give us an example like an article about people that think that bitcoin is a joke. You need to cover your bases my guy because you're spouting nonsense right now.
903  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to convince a sceptical person to buy Bitcoin ? on: April 08, 2023, 05:28:15 PM
What I would do is probably explain to that person the potential of high returns in buying bitcoin, with the market history that bitcoin has, it's not that hard to see that the potential is there. If they're concerned about the legality then tell them that they don't have to worry because it's already being regulated in a lot of countries. There are other things that you can do but right now, I think that you need to ease them up before anything else, answer their burning questions to put them at ease and make them reconsider. Ultimately, you're just providing them your view and clearing the air, the decision should still be up to them.
904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe is a custodial wallet to a hardware wallet on: April 07, 2023, 09:35:16 AM
A custodial wallet is managed by a third party, like an exchange or wallet provider. They keep your private keys and manage your funds on your behalf. You put your trust in them to keep your assets safe, but there is always the possibility of a hack or the third party going out of business. Some custodial wallets may provide insurance or security measures, however it is critical to be aware of the risks. Hardware wallets on the other hand though, you are the one responsible for the safety of your bitcoins so if you think that you can be sure that you can secure your hardware wallet yourself, you can go that way but if not, considering a custodial wallet might be your best choice.
905  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does it take to become a Bitcoin investor on: April 07, 2023, 08:26:02 AM
It's simple, just buy bitcoin. No other complicated task to do so you can be entitled to be one, pretty sure that if you look at the definition of investor doesn't have a lot of requirements in it. I think that your question has already been answered so I think that it's time to lock this topic.
906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: are you still strong holding btc on: April 06, 2023, 01:19:52 PM
Definitely although I don't have a lot of bitcoin saved right now because as of right now, I don't have the means to increase it, maybe after my first payday I might be able to increase what I am hodling right now. If you believe that bitcoin would go much higher in the future then you might want to consider hodling rather than selling right now but the choice is yours, you've said it already that you are getting a good profit if you sell right now.
907  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Whitepaper Hidden in every Modern Copy of macOS on: April 06, 2023, 12:22:57 PM
Pretty nice easter egg and at the same time a good advertising for Apple because we all know that if bitcoin is in it, I am pretty sure that the community will flock to it to check it out. Are they the only OS that has that in their system? Love to know that they're not the only one.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Do think that POGO should be declared as legal or Illegal ? on: November 02, 2022, 04:12:21 PM
A gambling platform headquartered in the Philippines called Philippines Offshore Gaming Operations (POGO) provides gambling, betting, and E-casinos outside of the nation. Many POGO companies operate legally in the Philippines by submitting license applications to PAGCOR, but some people run POGO illegally, which is why many legal offshore gaming operations are branded as illegal. If the government shuts down this operation, many Filipinos will lose their jobs and the Philippine economy will suffer a loss of several billion pesos.

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1672432/pogos-not-linked-to-illegal-online-gaming-says-pagcor

In my opinion, the POGO sector helps many Filipinos meet their basic needs and stimulates the economy, but having so many unlicensed offshore gambling establishments will harm the Philippines government's reputation.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/33834967/terence-crawford-says-wants-go-straight-fight-errol-spence-next%3fplatform=amp

Please make this fight happen.  This would be the fight of the year.  I like Crawford in this fight.  Wonder what the odds would be.  Who does everyone like in this fight if it goes down finally?
Crawford vs Spence fight  would be a interesting and crazy since both fighters are have same boxing styles and their speed on fighting is same level as Manny Pacquiao. This fight has been talked about for a long time and I hope it will happen. However, both sides are not interested on this fight because of the money, they not interested on the rewards because it is so small unlike in Pacman vs Mayweather.
910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be influenced by your favourite celebrity? on: October 29, 2022, 09:04:50 PM
Would you be influenced by your favourite Celebrity who you know gambles and one day happens to post the games he played, would you be influenced to play the same game?

I am bringing up this because a popular Canadian musician Drake posted the games he played today on Stake,


Many of his fans who are into gambling as well, may have played same game without thinking. As it turns out, the game did not go as predicted for him and his bet lost.
I would say that some of personalities such as celebrity, vlogger and etc. promoting some gambling site and it is really effective to persuade their fans or supporter to play online gambling. Personally, If I am a fan of celebrity who loves gambling, I will bet on gambling sites that same with the celebrity platform used to experience what he/she experienced.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Why We Prefer Online Casinos to Land-based Casinos on: October 27, 2022, 05:05:30 PM
    There's a reason we visit our favourite online casino more than the land-based casino, whether next door or a couple of blocks away. There is a reason we recommend our favourite online casinos to friends. In this short article, I will highlight some of the reasons why online casino games are becoming popular. Lastly, I hope users will also share their thoughts on this.

    • Accessibility
    Although getting dressed up for a night out is exciting, having to do so when you want to spin the reels of your favorite slot machine is not always convenient. Nothing compares to the simplicity with which you can make a simple online minimum deposit £5 and be rewarded with massive bonuses and huge payouts, security measures, quality casino games, and customer support. Technology has enabled a great online gaming experience that is not available at land-based casinos, don’t wait, start now to enjoy casino games from your PC or mobile device.

    • Savings on Expenses
    It is not simply the time and money you save by not going to a land-based casino that you appreciate. It’s also the food and beverages you’re likely to consume when out and about. You’re unlikely to spend an entire night at a casino without indulging in all of the enticing extras that make it difficult to say no. Traditional casinos confine you to a single location where you may bet and try your luck. Thanks to advances in technology, you may now play casino games from anywhere in the world. To play casino games on an online casino platform allows you to do so from any location, including your home, at work during your lunch break, at the airport, at a restaurant, or anyplace else you want. If it is still early in the morning or you are lying in bed before going to sleep, you may launch your preferred online gambling app and start playing right away. Because you are not constrained by time or distance when gambling, you may create your own timetable.

    • Games of Various Types
    Land-based casinos will never compete with the sheer number of games accessible on the internet nowadays. The 500+ online casino games available in an online casino will be readily apparent to everyone who enters the online casino sites. It’s simple to get extra money by joining the next casino lobby and taking advantage of another 1000 or more dollars there. It’s hard to estimate the precise number of online free casino games that are accessible, so you’ll have to be patient while you work your way through them all. It’s impossible to grow tired of this collection.

    • Plenty of Deposit Options
    In contrast to land-based casinos, which only provide a limited number of payment alternatives to players, online casinos offer various payment options. It’s rather unusual for you to forget about a payment option you have previously signed up for. In addition, even if you are playing from a foreign nation, most online casinos will take your money, as opposed to land-based casinos, where you must first locate a currency conversion kiosk before you can begin to gamble.

    These are just a few of the most compelling reasons online gambling is getting more popular nowadays. As a result of these factors, it should come as no surprise that online gambling will grow more popular in the future. With technological improvements, new features will inevitably be introduced to online casino games, making them more exciting and enjoyable to play online casino games.

    • Increased Chances of Winning
    Online casinos have cheaper operating costs because they do not have the same overhead as brick and mortar casinos, such as rent and personnel. On the other hand, the Return To Player rates on online gambling slots is far greater than those on slot machines in traditional casinos. Online slots have an industry-standard return on investment (RTI) of 94% or higher, but stationary slot machines have an average return on investment of 70% to 90%. A UK gambling session at an online casino is significantly more advantageous when one’s primary concern is winning a reward.

    • Promotions and Bonuses for New Players
    While land-based casinos provide VIP programmes and bonuses to high-rollers, online casinos reward you for playing with as little as £5 in a single transaction. The online gaming and online gambling industry are incredibly competitive, no exception. There are so many operators to pick from that they try to tempt you by offering incentives consistently from the minute you join up. Online casinos offer a wide variety of promotions and bonuses too.

    Finally it's been officially announced that Johnriel Casimero's comeback fight vs Akaho will be this coming December 3 at the Paradise City in Incheon South Korea as what Akaho's promoter announced.

    TBH, with Casimero in the mix on the Philippine boxing is an exciting one because of his personality or how he handles himself going into a fight. Some would say that he is cocky but if you dig deeper into him, it is just how he mentally plays his opponent.

    https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/boxing/848308/casimero-vs-akaho-announced-for-december-3/story/
    The Filipino boxer, Johnriel Casimero is currently the 2nd ranked bantamweight vs  Akaho, all known as a knockout puncher currently with have long winstreak in his boxing career. This will be a close fight since the fighters are same knockout specialist and their strategies on fighting will be the key of the victory. Akaho is the Goliath of this fight since he is in the peak of his career and also  the condition of his body are good than Casimero who just comeback on the boxing ring.

    People are now riding the bullish bitcoin but there are still possibilities that bitcoin can stay in that price for so long.

    We never know if bitcoin will increase its price, let's just hope that there are a lot of good things for bitcoin to happen especially that we are keeping our eye on its price.

    Bitcoin is really a lifeboat, we can be saved, we can loss our assets so it is our call if we will enjoy and take the risk of investing in bitcoin.
    916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Cotto vs Marquez - Exhibition match on: April 01, 2021, 08:35:11 AM
    I'm rooting for this matchup to really happened and be put into reality because these two are great boxers.

    In this fight, I will probably place my bet on Marquez because we all know that he had a close fight with Manny Pacquiao which is a legendary boxer in the history. Unlike Miguel Cotto who became a punching bag after fight Pacman. But seeing these two punch each other inside a ring is really a good bout to look forward to.

    I'm a guaranteed bettor for Juan Manuel Marquez as he can really dominate his opponent with his strong and lucky punch, like what hit Pacquiao previously on 2012.

    In general, holding for long term in an exchange is not safe, you should put it in hard wallet.

    Always aim for the best security especially that if there's a money or investment involved.

    Never settle only on an exchange when you want to store your coins or to hold it for a long period of time, it is always much better if you have a hardware wallet like a ledger nano or a Trezor one. Safety and security of your assets are always important because it is not that easy to earn it and when you have it, secure it.

    Don't put all your coins in a single wallet, look for other safe options like hardware wallet to become confident and comfortable with your coins.
    918  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A quick thought on how to help/save bitcoin. on: March 29, 2021, 03:46:27 AM
    Just a thought, We have all witnessed how just a tweet from a top individual in society can influence the price of bitcoin. We have also seen many people tweet about something so much, it becomes a trend and something popular that almost everyone hears about. This has got me thinking; if we all collectively pick a day or a period of time and all agree to tweet, post and create a trend about bitcoin that will last a while on twitter or any other social media platform, will this help the current price of bitcoin get to a higher ATH?



    You're absolutely wrong with this because we are just a small investor and we can't really hardly affect the market if we just want to do it.

    Those high profile personality or big investors can only hardly affect the price of bitcoin in the market. They can control the volume and the hype if they all make actions at the same time. Also don't rely on Twitter because there are also false reports or fake news that you can get there due to scammers.

    Always observe the market and be mindful and ready when the price extremely increase it is up to you if you will do something when that happens.
    919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it smart to invest in Bitcoin? or in Ethereum? on: March 27, 2021, 06:56:57 AM
    If i will rank the most used or invested cryptocurrency, for me BTC is no.1 and ETH no.2 their price is really high in the market.

    Invest on both then you will really see the difference between the two, both are profitable depending on their seasons so always observe the market.

    For long term, invest on bitcoin, if you want to make profit for short term, invest on ETH.

    We have different reasons and motive why we are investing in a certain coin, because we want them to prove something in the market.
