BTC price going up eventually will occur, collecting the higher reward now only helps if thats generally going to be true.  I think in this cycle within halvening etc. its a reasonable aspiration.   I retained a few of the spins just to see if we do repeat the waves back and forth and see the lower price again.  Im not near to the level as the people who have been doing that a month or many months, right now it doesnt make a large difference to me but just out of interest.  Overall I suppose reward will adjust alot if BTC does go anywhere near to its ATH again which is beyond the horizon Im not optimistic particularly near term.   Its quite fair it can do so next year maybe another year after that, lots of patience is needed for BTC I finally realized after many years that has to be observed for bigger picture gains.

Whatever happens with the BTC price now it is the perfect time as discussed here to buy as much FUN tokens as possible,2 free rolls and you buy one of them and this means we are in a great moment to invest and get as many FUN now as possible.You may say that it is worthless as the price of FUN is in this low range from quite a lot of time but I strongly believe that when the next bull run will come we will most likely see the FUN token price at 100 or near 100 Satoshi and that is a huge win if we keep as many of them until then,it is like 700% profit in a percentage range,very much well the effort as it does not cost much to get as many of them as possible nowadays.

The price of FUN token is decreasing day by day and is currently standing at 15 sats.
It's sad to see the BTC value of your locked FUN tokens decrease every day.
But for the benefits it brings us, the temporary decrease in value can be ignore.
Even I think that FUN token price will increase in the next bull run and it's a great time to buy right now.
942  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buy ETH as much as you can.... on: June 17, 2023, 11:48:41 AM
Other than bitcoin, ETH is the only best investment I have ever made. I was fortunate enough to get in early.
I will be holding it for a good time and regardless to say bitcoin and eth are the only coins out there which has a lot of trust.
All the other coins are just like passing storms with a hype.

On the other side, it is still not a perfect coin and it will take some time for it to get over it's issues.
But that can't be the reason for us not to buy ETH.
943  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why haven't anyone created a crypto currency name Merit yet? on: June 17, 2023, 11:39:04 AM
Lately i been looking into altcoins more and more since I have got some more money in my life and want to make more investments then only in BTC.
One thing I was wondering is why nobody yet have created a crypto currency under the name "Merit" yet. Smiley

it's many smart people on this forum with a lot of knowledge about things like this and I think it could be a good currency to create. Smiley

Merit on bitcointalk is a gesture that people like what you are posting and your contributions are valued.
Merit can be tokenised but that would need a big implementation in bitcointalk source code and also it would need a secondary market where it can be traded.
Currently, the value of a merit is the value of a user's post but if tokenized then the value will be decided by demand and supply based on the secondary market.
Such a system is already implemented in Reddit where the "Cryptocurrency" channel users give each other "moons".
Moons can be traded in secondary market and it's current price is 339 satoshis = $0.09

The 3rd opinion option is the one that all gamblers should try to achieve because that is what can get us peace while gambling.
Having a good self control over gambling and deciding a budget that we can afford to lose will eventually make us gamble only for fun.
Treating gambling as an income source would be a mistake no one should commit.
945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 17, 2023, 09:16:55 AM
To be honest, I have never seen a women gambling in the real world but yes I have seen them on online casinos.
It's hard to judge their behavior online but I guess there shouldn't be much difference between men and women in gambling.
But it's obvious that men are a lot more than women in gambling and most of the men won't like women who gambles.
Women are mostly seen as the one who runs the house and men won't want them to gamble away the money they kept to run the house.
it's different in my country, gambling is legal and we here see a lot of housewives who are heavy gamblers and they don't even take care of their children properly and that's what makes me quite hate women gamblers (because usually they forget their responsibilities in their family)

indeed gambling is open to all genders, but men and women have different responsibilities and roles in social life and also in the family, i'm not really sure about the research from the article, so i don't really want think hard about it.

Exactly what I am saying. If women starts gambling and get addicted to it then the chances are high that they would end up using money meant for family responsibilities.
Taking care of children is one of them and managing the expenses is another, both of which requires the women to pay more attention into.
But gambling takes it away and hence people portray as them as bad people. It's a harsh reality but that's what the truth is.

There are few people in my circle who occasionally come to me for installing windows on their machine and I just download the OS from official site and then patch the windows activation into it. It works fine.
I think you talking about KMS**** to spoof or to activate your Windows 10 which is an illegal tool and could also have some adware or malware. I've tried that thing on my old Laptop I notice some added software on Task Manager after using that tool and every time I restart the Laptop it also runs in the background which I think may be software that monitors all my activity.

Be very careful if you still using this PC with patch activation and maybe they are waiting for a huge transaction before they are going to attack your PC actually, you can use Windows 10 without activating it but have limited features however, it is still safer than patched Activation.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was using it earlier and right now I have a genuine copy of windows since it's a new laptop.
But even in the old laptop the source of that tool was genuine as my friend got it from the developer's official website.
But yeah, we never know what can happen and so genuine copies are always better. I think Linux distros are the best. More like plug and play. LOL.
947  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risk management on: June 16, 2023, 05:03:37 PM
When trading there are rules to observe in other to protect your margin, it's more like if you can't make more money, don't lose the one you have,
 That's where risk management comes in handy.
    The strategies are;


_ Don't risk too much money, start with what you can afford to risk. Focus on the risk not rewards.

_ Identify potential risk as;if it goes down, if you don't take profit, if you don't use stop loss and if the coin goes against your analysis.

_ Reacting to risk, use stop loss and always take profit.

The third point you mentioned is the most critical one and this is where most of make the mistake.
We forget to take the profits and keep waiting for more profits in greed.
We don't realize that the profits are diminishing and end up selling in a loss.
We don't use stoploss because we want to give room to the trade and end up losing more than our risk.

The solution is to make stop loss and take profit a habit and use them in all the trades.

These days it isn't required to patch windows because windows identifies the activation key that comes along with the laptop automatically.
Besides that, there are activation keys which can be purchased for cheaper price online and will eliminate this risk of downloading pirated windows.

Even though you bet at a price of $ 60k with high Odds and people also bet on the last day then low Odds then still you will be calculated Odds according to the final day of the prediction, I have bet at the beginning of time with Odds of 60.00 but when the price is close to my prediction on the day the final prediction then becomes 4.00 so my bet is calculated with Odds of 4.00, so in conclusion don't waste money because the Odds are high because it still counts on the last day of prediction.

It doesn't work that way. It's not that what you see as the odds are the final odds.
The odds are decided after the final day of placing the bets.
It's the time weight multiplier that gets added to your bet as a benefit which gives you better rewards if you win the bet.

Yes, I mean like that, the odds will be decided after the last day of placing a bet, for example at this time the odds are 60 Odds, it's possible that on the last day it will drop to 4 or 5, that's why I suggest betting closer to the last day because betting at the beginning besides being difficult to reading price analysis is also not profitable as well as looking at the Odds at the beginning.

So it's just a suggestion to bet near the last day while at the same time being able to more easily read price analysis at close range of time rather than betting and predicting at the beginning of time. because I've tried it before but it's not very profitable for me, it's better to bet more profitable sports betting every week.  Cheesy

Yes, ofcourse, betting on the last day is more wiser than betting on beginning days because of a much clear view on the analysis.
Whenever I bet, I bet on the last day because we never know when the volatility hits the coin.
I have seen it few times that just a few days before the bet ends there is a strong move in the price.

Reason 2: Social acceptability
Certain entertainment carries a greater degree of social acceptance compared to others. For instance, bingo is commonly regarded as harmless, while roulettes, sports betting, poker, or blackjack often carry negative associations, including addiction and irresponsible behavior.

Many people have a negative attitude to gambling, not even realizing that their passion for bingo is also gambling addiction. This case is interesting because people generally don't classify bingo or lotteries as forms of gambling.

As far as I know, lotteries are considered as gambling and this is why many families in my country doesn't allow their family members to take part in it.
Since they consider it as gambling they are afraid that the individual may get addicted to it.
This is true because lotteries are indeed addictive and my dad also buys lotteries few times despite me telling them not to buy them.
I consider it a waste of hard earned money but he's reluctant and thinks he will win a fortune some day.
952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New question for experts on: June 15, 2023, 04:36:04 PM
Hello everyone, I have a new question,
In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?

It's a great place to meet like minded people and to get some great insights about the technology.
Not only you get to learn a lot of things but you get to be a part of the community in real world.
Unfortunately, I haven't got a chance yet to attend such events but when I get one I will make sure not to miss it.
So you should grab the opportunity while you have it and do share your experience with us.
953  Other / Archival / Re: No panic while holding my Bitcoin on: June 15, 2023, 04:33:28 PM
Hello everyone, i just want to share my thought here as a newbie, i bought my first bitcoin two weeks back, after spending the first month studying and reading everything as relate to Bitcoin, the time spent on learning and gathering knowledge have started to pay off for me during this period were the price of bitcoin have nosedive greatly.
Let me explain what i mean in details.
First before i bought my first bitcoin, i first of all build a good understand of the market and how bitcoin volatility works, and also learned about the effect of external forces in determining the price of Bitcoin  such as exchange crisis and other governmental policies that can have short time effect on bitcoin.
Secondly i have learned never to panic during any crisis time or when the bitcoin price drop significantly because in the near future it will increase in value again, and also to hold an amount i can afford to look away from for a long time.
This and many more is the reason behind my current confidence in Bitcoin's ability never to let me lose if I hold for a long time.
Indeed knowledge is power, because knowledge can save you when money failed, because knowledge failure is a lifetime problem but money failure in terms of investment is temporally and if I wait I will soon be in profit again very soon, that is what past records have shown and proven.

There are not many people like you who first actually go through the harder process of learning all the elements required to buy and hold bitcoin.
It seems you already have a better understanding of the market and how it behaves in different trends.
You just have to stay strong now and keep holding it through its cycle. Learn how to take profits.
954  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling addiction causes ear deafness? on: June 15, 2023, 03:35:20 PM
It's easier to get addicted to online gambling, but I recently met someone who said that he isn't even aware that he was an addict until his blood brother told him that he is going too deep into gambling.

He said that he screamed to him to wake up scarily, he said his brother is his savior, but I replied to him that he is someone who listened, most gambling addicts that I have came across have closed ears, they won't listen to you when you try to warn them or advice them.

Have you meet gamblers that are going way too deep into addiction and you try to stop them and they listen? I've never accomplished that before.

They always behaved deaf, like some spiritual power is in control.

Just like others, even I thought you are talking about physical inability but after reading the post I got the context.
It's true though. A lot of gamblers out there cannot be convinced because of their gambling addiction.
There are many who still want to quit gambling but their addiction over powers them and they get back to gambling.
It's a sad reality but they indeed behave like a deaf not because they don't want to listen but because they can't follow what they listen.

956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: June 14, 2023, 03:41:55 PM
I did it many times back when my addiction is very high, I promise not to gamble after I lose a big amount I even swear that I will not, but the following day I'm back even promising to be better and not lose a big amount again.

How many of us are guilty of this?

We all know how tempting gambling can be and it is difficult to control the urge to gamble the next day.
It has happened to me in the past that I would decide not to gamble for a few days but still end up playing.
But over time I have controlled my emotions and I gamble when I want to gamble.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Improve Your Sports Betting Skills and Win More Bets? on: June 14, 2023, 03:39:42 PM
Those are some good points mentioned by OP. The most important one is point 3 where one has to have good knowledge of the sport.
That gives us an edge and can make us predict the outcome easily. I mostly focus on point 1 and 4.
I do my research and compare the odds across sites which gives me a basic idea of the outcome and what people are thinking.

I am kinda paranoid when it comes to hardware wallet. What if the seed is leaked or tampered.
snip

i'll sell it to u if u wants, for 3k, lemme know..

I would never do that. I won't recommend anyone buying a second hand hardware wallet.
The major reason is it can be tampered and we can never know if the hardware is corrupted.
We would lose all our earnings in a jiffy.

Make sure whoever is buying an hardware " There have also been cases of customers receiving fraudulent hardware wallets. These bogus wallets include malware, allowing attackers to steal private keys and drain your accounts. "

i saw few complains regarding this. If want to hold something offline for long why not use paperwallet instead ?

Even I have read people buying new wallets but received wallets which were tampered in between and people lost funds.
This is why it is always said to buy only from official websites only.
959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: European Sex Championship 😳, Will you Bet? on: June 12, 2023, 03:27:16 PM
LOL sex as a sport what would be next, various positions or oral would also be considered as a sport?
I don't really support this and hope that this is just a joke.
If they would consider this as a sport then watching pornography would only be considered as watching sports this idea really makes me laugh.
Haha this is really funny and I don't know how this is going to be like. I would love to see what kind of position that would want to indulge in that will make a team to become the winners. This would be very interesting but it can pose a risk to children and adolescents that would snick to watch this kind of competition. This is could also be a big blow to the society at large and this might also make children to see sex as something that should not be valued. In our society today, sex is no more a value to a gender, people see is with a random view.

I guess the ones with the big blow will lose the championship. LOL.
I don't think children will be able to see this because it won't be shown on TV obviously.
Online streaming would be a ideal choice to see such kind of things but I don't think this kind of championship will take place ever.
For me this is a big mistake it's should not be taken into the world of the internet an in sports because the first thing is Sex is not a sports then why is this happening, why another country take pick this kind of sports.  And also once sex is became a sports to other country then for sure many children can see. And the population will arise because of the minors engage with this..
Maybe what you've mentioned could happen, but for gods sake this hasn't been added to the sports category. Also the location where this has been taking place isn't disclosed. So, this something just a controversy that is been circulated to read the mind of people. Everything is business, and based on the people's view this can further turn to be successful or stay away. Every country won't be lineant towards such act, so there is nothing to worry about the minors .

The proposal for this sex championship was indeed submitted but it was rejected by the National Sports Confederation of Sweden in April.
So we need not worry about it affecting the children. It was kind of obvious that the proposal would be rejected.
I wonder why sex was declared as a sport at first place when they know that it's a private thing.

Go through this article which compares both versions of Ledger wallet. I am only aware of etherbit if you choose to purchase a Ledger wallet in India. I won't recommend Amazon or Flipkart for making a purchase. If you have any doubt then buy directly from the Ledger website, the price would be on the higher side as it is an international purchase.

That's a nice comparison between the 2 devices and it seems Nano S would be sufficient for me since I don't do much transactions.
Nobody involved in crypto would ever buy a hardware wallet from Amazon or Flipkart. Official website and their trusted resellers are the only best options.

Why do you specially need a Ledger wallet or a hardware wallet? If you have an extra PC or a Laptop then use it store your cryptocurrency without connecting it to the internet. I am assuming that you are planning on long term hodl, which might be the reason you created this topic. You can achieve the same level of security doing what I wrote above.

If you have other reasons then check out KeepKey hardware wallet. Cost is $49 but for international shipping additional charges would be applicable.

Airgapped PC is a good alternative but it still doesn't provide the same level of security as a hardware wallet.
Hardware wallets are the most secure option to store cryptocurrencies as of current date.
