I have this colleague of mine at workplace who is a bitcoin enthusiast just like me. Often times at work when we're less occupied with our job we kind of spend such moment's  discussing about bitcoin generally. Two days ago he was telling me about his plans to start buying BTC with 20% of his salary every month for the rest of the years he has to retirement that's when he will then take it all. And based on the company total years of service he has 16 years left to his retirement.

With the way he was talking to me about it he appears to know exactly what he's about to do and how its going to end for him. But for me his idea has left some apprehension and questioning in my head due to the length of years (good 16 years) he is going to keep up with. From my angle the years are too much as no one can certainly say for sure about what the future of cryptocurrency and bitcoin holds despite how positive it could be looking today.

In my opinion I wanted to talk to him with a logical conclusion why he should reduce the length of years, not to do it at a stretch of straight 16years he has in mind without applying risk management technique, maybe by splitting those 16years into four interjecting years. As in he should in every 4 years be taking 50% of whatever total amount plus profit  till it gets to the 16years he planned. At least in worst case scenario this method could save him something reliable to fall back onto.

How do you guys think about this idea of mine for my colleague? Can it really be helpful to him in the long run or it may just obstruct his original plan killing the whole idea?  Please all opinions are entertained but whatever your opinion might be, also try to put the length of years involved into consideration.(16 years)

As a morally upright person that does not like to cheat people, but gambles and has lost a lot of money to gambling in a casino where you have sometimes been cheated even without your knowledge or betting on sports, will you take an opportunity you get and go against your moral standards to cheat a casino or sportsbetting place, just so you can win big at least even once.

Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out? Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?

It's been a great day, I've read enough threads. I saw quite a lot of senior/hero/legendary rank discussions, but if I'm honest, I found a lot of comments that have no value, they just write nonsense. Maybe I did too

I realize that the quality of a post is based on the knowledge of the account owner. But stupid people are still needed to continue the discussion, if everyone is smart then there will be no more discussion. So both are needed.

I know for sure there will be a lot of comments that blaspheme me. I may be a newbie but I know that a post has value and a good argument. Maybe I haven't read all the threads, so I have to ask about my statement, that many high ranking members have low quality posts? talk nonsense and have no clear arguments. Is my statement correct?

As of June 22, bitcoin finally managed to be at > $ 30,000 ^[1], no one knows whether this is just a trick from the whales who want to trap us so that we think this is the right time to buy bitcoin. With reason fear of that happening, i tried to dig into the bitcoin price history data at CMC, after i got the data, i found that there was some missing data there.

So, i just want to ask anyone here who has data on the monthly price of bitcoin before the first halving happened (November 28 2012), this will not only help me, but also help others to be aware and understand the current situation. After getting the data later, i will do my personal analysis and present it here too, thank you.

Gambling if not checked cam lead to a devastating condition for a gambler's life. As a gambler when you allow yourself to be controlled by gambling instinct instead of having control over it, it repercussions doesn't particularly affects only you but goes beyond just you to those around you.

A woman was giving an account of how her gambling husband has been problematic to her with his gambling attitude. She gave an instance of how her husband had to steal her jewelry and sold it to get money to carry on his gambling enterprise. And unsuspecting of her husband the woman accused their come-and-go house-cleaner of making away with her jewelry when the cleaner must have come to the house for her cleaning services that very faithful day. She got the cleaner arrested, but then, investigations where carried out which it was uncovered that the woman's husband was the one who stole her jewelry for gambling and not the cleaner.

It is difficult to grasp or imagined the level of humiliation the innocent cleaner must have faced for an act she knows nothing about.

A question that bothers me concerning this issue is;
1. Do gambling addicts ever take a second thought on what the consequences of their actions can be not just to them but on those close to them?  
2. Do they in reality genuinely feel any remorse about  how those affected by their actions might be feeling?  
3. Or, are they a dispassionate victim of their own uncontrollable addictive gambling lifestyle?

Wag mag focus sa Bitcoin designs lang boss, mas mabuti yung malawak yung idea nyo in terms of t-shirts design kahit non crypto related para ma sustain nyu yung business nyo at hindi malugi kasi may market pa din kahit papano. Kasi sa tingin hindi masyado papatok sa umpisa yan. Though, I'm not sure jan sa lugar nyo baka maraming may mga interest sa pag bili ng mga bitcoin merch. Kasi, dito sa amin na try namin yan ng mga kaibigan ko na nag tatrabaho sa isang printing shop. Unfortunately walang masyadong naging benta mabuti at kunti lang yung na print nilang t-shirts.
Again boss, mas magandang idea na e generalized nyu yung mga designs nyu tas yung visuals ng store or printing shop nyo is lagyan nyu ng something like logo ng bitcoin at mag accept na rin kau ng bitcoin as payment, that way makaka tulong parin sa adoption.

I think this post has been ringing in my head for a long time ago, so I said to myself to let it out, please on behalf of all the newbies we like you to recommend to us how you did the magic on your post count and also merit court and how to do things on the forum and also on how you  share your time table for the forum, I believe that all  the guidance may be of benefit to us as a newbie I know we still have a long way to go and also I believe that this forum is about United on together so please do well to help us
Note this
This topic is not for a newbie or jr member but asking questions is allowed

I've studied most Bitcoin investors, those who have money to invest are the ones going around looking for someone to teach them how to invest, the first thing they want to learn is how to use the exchange to make purchases using Fiat on the exchange, they are always in hurry, they have no time.

Those who don't have money, have all the time to keep learning and reading stuff online about Bitcoin and the crypto space, they have no reason to be in any hurry and it seems they are the ones that avoid the unnecessary dramas in the crypto space because they took their time to learn first.

Do not walk away from Bitcoin investment because you don't have the money, it's even better not to have money because you will have the patience to learn more about everything, and when the money comes, you will be able to avoid many dramas.

I have recently read an interesting essay on this topic, but it was already explained it to me a few years ago.

The thesis would consist that, although the probability of winning classical lotteries is near zero (typically between 0.0000007% in the case of Euromillions and 0.000003% in the case of national lotteries), people is willing to pay an excessive overprice because they are buying the right to dream about the possibility of winning.

Although there are extreme cases that get addicted to lotteries, this is quite uncommon if I'm not wrong, because, if you are not paying for the probability but for the possibility, a bet of 1 USD is enough to buy said possibility.

On the other hand, national lotteries are known to be "taxes on ignorance of mathematics", but if these revenues financed public expenses that revert to the common good: would you agree to pay systematically 1 USD more in your annual taxes as something that ensures the right to dream of a dear life of every taxpayer?

Kakabasa ko lang nito sa Global https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5455045.msg62352581#msg62352581 .

Baka may mga user dito ng Atomic wallet. Hindi na safe ang wallet dahil sa recent issue na nahack ang wallet ng isang whale customer matapos mabreach ng hacker ang security ng wallet meaning hindi talaga ito non-custodial as advertised.

Withdraw nyo lahat ng assets nyo kung ito ang ginagamit nyo pang hold ng mga coins nyo.

Although may good news naman dahil recoverable daw yung nahack na funds as per twitter ni @Zackxbt na isang sikat na crypto investigator ng mga rug pull at hack projects.

When i came into the forum I found It a little difficult finding my way around and could barely relate or reply to some posts but I took it upon myself to learn the ethics and norms of forum and know what it's all about. And as time went by my journey here became easier even though I'm still under a learning process.
 I've come to understand that the forum is not a competition and everyone here have a say so far you're not going against the rules guiding the forum. So rather than being discouraged by some negative replys from senior ranking members, let your mistakes serve as your motivation, do not give up and don't be in a haste to do unnecessary things that would get you banned.
 One other thing that's motivated me is the posts from high ranking members, so sometimes instead of rushing to reply I take my time in going through the profile of these members to see their post and take note of those quality contents that got them merited by others, we learn everyday and I believe that's one of the reasons why satoshi created the forum, feel free to ask questions so as to learn because the more you remain ignorant about things in the forum the lesser you grow.
 The ideology of this post is to motivate newbies that find it difficult moving forward, cause I believe the're people that fall under such Category, feel free to drop some words of encouragement for them.

Hi friends, I have some questions for you guys about online casinos

What will you do if you don't know that a online casino will ask you for KYC after winning over 8,000$ on the platform? And you now manage to process with the verification and they failed to pass you? Can you consider such a casino a scam?

Also, imagine you get attracted to an online casino because of the bonuses they offer and you open an account and make your first deposit then you didn't receive the promised bonus, is this an act of scam or not?

I am trying to solve such an issue for someone very close to me and that the complaint he gave, I have no answer than maybe the bonus was canceled already before he made the deposit or there was a minimum deposit requirement.

Any other reasons?

      -  Oo nga, sana idagdag ng RCBC sa kanilang mga requirements na kahit walang mga negosyo o trabaho bilang source of income ay iconsider narin nila na ang source of income ay ang cryptocurrency na ang ipapakita lang ang mga record history na nagagawang activity sa mga exchange sa cryptocurrency o Bitcoin.

Dahil, honestly ako dati tinanong ko yan sa RCBC way back 2022 at nung mga panahon na yun ay hindi pa nila tinatanggap ang ganung source of income lang sa mga magbubukas ng account sa kanilang banko. Kaya ayos talaga ito naikakalat ang adoption ng crypto bilang palitan sa ating mga pera.

This may seem trivial to those who already rank high in the forums. but it really means a lot to beginners. Gaining Some Merits actually can revive dormant Motivation. But still I also realize that just motivation is not enough. but also must be accompanied by an increase in insight. with more diligent reading and so on.
Other beginners must also feel this way, right? I doubt if only I feel this pleasure.

According to evolution of money, trade was first done with the barter system, then it evolved to commodity money using Gold and it's kind,then into metal coins then paper money, later transactions where done with plastic cards, before it's evolved into electronic money and now crypto currency.
 About years ago El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender and there are speculations that other countries would also adopt it in the nearest future now my question is, with bitcoin being the leading crypto currency is there a tendency that it would become the generally used currency worldwide?

We don't know what the casino will do with the KYC documents provided by its customers. But if it's a trusted casino, I think the casino will take care of it and have no intention of selling it or giving it to other parties. In this case, the trust that their customers have given is really maintained by the casino because they don't want to disappoint their customers.

As long as we do KYC at a trusted casino site, I think it's safe because the casino will do everything to ensure the customer's data is safe. With the government's intervention, it seems that all businesses will be asked to do KYC so that we, customers, cannot do anything. But we can still choose where we want to play gambling because playing gambling is not because of coercion from other people.
