It's great that even after these years, a BTC-grandfather like you continues to remain active on this forum and are willing to share your wisdom of the sage and knowledge.

After 13 years of being involved in this little hobby, what parting words do you have for those new to the crypto industry? I just ask for something original, and not the banal phrases that we can see here every day. I demand wish to hear something priceless from the old bitcoiner. You'll make us happy, won't you?

Perhaps his release is feasible if Trump has spoken about it.

Open the poll and we will find out who is the favorite to win.

You are probably betting on one player (Ronaldo), but football is a team game.

I don't think so. Portugal will not win the cup this year.


Worthy candidates.

These countries will prove to be better candidates.


Personally, I would vote for the Netherlands.

You would not have to worry about the future high cost of bitcoin transactions fees, because if this digital asset reaches such heights of value that even these commissions become prohibitively expensive, then you will find yourself (if just hodl) in such a good profit that these commissions will be for you completely insignificant.

Don't be too greedy.

In order to save money (for transactions fees), refrain from using old format bitcoin addresses (legacy) and give preference, for example, SegWit.

By the time the BTC-price increases significantly, a new update may be released that will reduce high commissions. So, this problem may disappear by itself.

Thx.

OP’s post looks exactly like this - a veiled attempt to promote a new casino where, supposedly, you can get prize money for free (as gamblers like).

Does a casino claim gamblers’ money when, for various reasons, it blocks accounts and doesn't allow them to withdraw funds, not to mention outright scam casinos?

And get a couple of free spins for the earned reputation?


This phrase about a moral compass fits well into the context of this post. And if the casino that OP is talking about turns out to be a potential scam casino in the future, then what then? Which direction will the compass needle turn?

Trump only skillfully manipulates the crypto community trying to win them over to his side in the election race. Trump gives his voters what they want to hear and receive. One should not think that heads of government will actually be loyal to cryptocurrencies, which, in essence, allow NOT to play by the rules of governments.

Initially, grandpa Biden’s administration turned out to be a little less savvy in terms of using cryptocurrencies and bitcoiners in its election campaign, but in order not to be outdone, Biden joins the race for the votes of bitcoiners. This confirms the adoption of bill FIT21 in the US Congress.

I am sure that we will still hear from Biden signs of his “loyalty” to cryptocurrencies. So, there is no struggle between bitcoin and fiat, but only purely political gestures.

In any situation, the correct decision in gambling is stop?
 
Stop begins to malfunction when the gambler is overwhelmed by gambling excitement and when the gambler comes to his senses, it is often too late for the stop button.

There is no universal solution that benefits everyone at once.

In this regard, a home loan wins, because you still pay for rent and mortgage, but in the second case, you become the owner of the house and this can be considered, in a sense, an investment (if real estate goes up in price and does not depreciate, as in Detroit ).

But this “works” only if you have a stable income (but even qualified specialists sometimes end up fired) and are ready for “mortgage slavery” (the inability to change jobs and place of residence) for the entire period until the loan is fully repaid.

You have "dug up" the investor's gold mine - land, that's what is most valuable. The land area is decreasing, those wanting a piece of land are increasing, that is, it is a limited resource. Whereas housing is a practically unlimited resource (housing can always be built).

Only if you pay monthly installments on time and manage to pay off all debt obligations to the bank after 10-20-30 years of the mortgage. Please note that during the period of encumbrance with a mortgage, anything can happen that can deprive you of your solvency, which means losing this property and monthly payments.

Lotteries for me always remain a “tax for fools” and I have never spent money on it, whereas sports betting seemed more attractive to me, especially football betting.

With a bet of a few cents, the chances of winning will be at the level of a few cents fractions of a percent.

In sports betting, there are few options for probable outcomes, which means that the chances of guessing the “right combination” as in the lottery are higher, but this is compensated by lower odds for more likely outcomes of events.

Luck - it is this random odds that brings the greatest element of pleasure to sports betting.

But bitcoiners from all over the world who are in Bali should worry about the attitude of local authorities towards them.

Gatherings in your community for tourists can have undesirable consequences.

“Foreign tourists who behave inappropriately, engage in actions not allowed by their visa permit, use cryptocurrency as a means of payment, and violate other provisions will be strictly punished” (source).

An iron tin can container is not the best place to spend time in a hot and humid climate, I should say.

Whether it is whales or ordinary BTC-holders, bitcoin always buys and sells, with the only difference being that at different periods of the btc-cycle either sales or purchases dominate. This is what creates volatility.

What if the bitcoiner wants to sell? This could just be a trap; the BTC-investor severely limits himself by “freezing” his money in bitcoin. There comes a time for any investor when it’s time to sell btc.

Ok, bitcoin is freedom, but freedom is about doing what you want, when you want it. By limiting yourself to only one “eternal HODL!”, you are deprived of this freedom and it turns into BTC-slavery - blind service and worship for the sake of God “HODL!”. ?

Fiat will leave, but CBDC will take this place.

Don't be overly maximalist, because you only live once - take advantage of the opportunities provided by BTCitcoin.

What is the difference between greed and frugality? These qualities are practically no different, only in their emotional coloring, that is, give a negative connotation to greed, and a positive connotation to frugality. In fact, this is the same quality, but depending on the situation it brings either harm or benefit. In your case, greed transforms into wastefulness.

How is gaming addiction different from strong passion? These two qualities are also no different.

These reasons most often act together, enhancing the effect.

Stimulants such as anticipation (the expectation that a big win will soon appear), joy and pleasure from winning (a positive stimulus that encourages repeated repetition), disappointment and sadness from losing (a negative stimulus that one does not want to repeat) also appear here.

Really? Will long-term dependence with small bets accumulate into large losses over many years?

When comparing which is worse, greed or gambling addiction, you lose sight of the fact that these qualities are almost equally valuable in terms of harmfulness.


Oh, if only we could choose our vices.

And here is the answer to your question.

Banks are centralized, which means, if necessary, goverment can issue them a fine and get money from them (from us). And who should I issue a fine for cryptocurrencies in blockchain? That's right - no one and the reason is decentralization (let's pretend that all cryptocurrencies, except bitcoin and a couple more, are also decentralized).

This “magic phrase” allows you to stigmatize (ban) and demonize (reduce interest) in the eyes of society in almost everything, and not just in cryptocurrencies.

Of course, such statements sound hypocritical.

Not bad, right? Even with these huge expenses, banks still remain profitable. This is a reason to wonder whether cryptocurrencies really have dizzying returns? It was not in vain that Charlie Lee sold all their litecoins he had and bought a bank (WEG Bank AG).

But for some reason, this society doesn't hesitate to use the money received from the taxes of the owners of the gambling industry and from the people working in this industry, who pour their money into the economy through spending (and indirect taxes). Many people work for the gambling industry directly and indirectly, which allows them to provide for their lives and the lives of their relatives. Therefore, the question of the influence (good or bad) of gambling on society remains open, because from a social (mental) position, gambling harms people due to gambling addiction and associated consequences, but from an economic point of view, it turns out that gambling benefits people (workers places) and the flow of money into the same society (I’m not talking about prize money) as wages.

This means that your choice was not assessed by all factors influencing the final result of the bet. It turns out your analysis was wrong. Or, your choice was based on emotions, such as betting on the teams or athletes you systematized.

In gambling, as in investing, one should not allow the influence of emotions and to achieve the desired result (making a profit or winning), one should be guided only by cold calculations. But we should not forget about the element of surprise (chance), when even the favorite can make a mistake and lose to a contender with less chance of winning.

This is a typical mistake of gamblers - to believe (hope for the desired outcome of the bet). Whereas, you need to know (realistically assess) the chances of winning (detailed analysis).
