4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / If this is doable what will you add or remove? on: May 21, 2024, 12:10:21 PM
Let's all pretend to be a developer for today, and I have a question for you all.

If you are to add 1 thing to Bitcoin what will it be? And also if you are to remove just one thing from Bitcoin what will it be?

5  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Venezuela bans crypto mining on: May 21, 2024, 08:23:01 AM
Venezuela of all countries lol, that isn't a country anymore, it is like a no man's land to me, where laws are useless, I wouldn't believe this news if I were you, each man for himself is what Venezuela is all about now.

Those confiscated miners will be put to good use by the ruler himself, that's a lot of extra money for them why would they dump all these miners into the bin? Hell no, there is no way it will happen, unless the miners are no more profitable.

OP, forget solar mining, if you really want to mine as a profitable miner you should stay away from solar mining, or wait for new ASIC miners to come out first, then maybe it will be good, the problem I have with solar mining is after the sunset, you can't run a single ASIC miner for hours using a battery bank, it will cost too much of money, the type you may never get back.

If you can set up graphic cards then solar mining is possible, because GPu takes less power than ASIC miner, they are also doable with battery back up, mine some coins and convert them back to Bitcoin, this is the only thing you can do, meaning you won't be mining Bitcoin directly.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Religion. Beliefs or Choices? on: May 21, 2024, 07:15:54 AM
certain actions cannot be accepted, even if some religions would allow it...
gambling itself is not part of these actions. by nature it's something fun and intrinsic of human nature.
if gambling instead becomes a problem of addiction, neglecting the family, one's work, leading a wrong life is certain to become an action to be condemned.

Gambling is not always fun, many people are gambling even though they don't like the games, they just want to win money, I don't call this fun.

If games that I like are not available in gambling there is no point for me to become a gambler, I love slots even though they have wrecked a lot of gamblers and that is why I like using little amount of money.

Assuming slots just ended everywhere on online casinos I will probably walk away, this is something many people can't do, they will look into another game, even though they don't like the game but money is involved, they will get used to it as time goes on.

Choices will always be made in the end, but it is true that gambling is a sin from the religion side of things, to me it just shows that many people will choose money over religion any time any day, we gotta live, even if the sinful way is how money is made.

Lord have mercy on our souls, and some stupid people still believe that we are getting all these for free? That Christ never sacrificed himself for us all? Idiots, nothing is truly free in this life.

I have a younger brother who lives in the US and yesterday he told me about a call he received saying that he can get his lost coins back and all he needs to do is submit his wallet address.

Before saying that I am a fool, I know this is a scam, but I need to ask about what could possibly go wrong if he submit a wallet address? I did told him to submit a random wallet address that is empty with no single transactions in the past though but I can't stop thinking what this could lead to.

If you know their trick you can always be ahead of them and possibly be able to Warn others too, I am just wondering what they could possibly have in mind, I think they will track his transactions to know his worth. Or there is more? What do you think?

8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shops now accept BTC on: May 19, 2024, 06:13:30 AM
I love buying stuff using crypto in general and I have been doing this for years now, almost all my equipment was bought online unfortunately not many are accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment.

I have spent weeks looking for online marketplaces that accept crypto and most that I have found have something to do with crypto e.g. crypto hardware wallets, crypto asic miners, graphics card stores, crypto-related smartphones, etc.

The others are Gift card stores, bill payments, vouchers, and co, I read on this forum that Newegg is accepting Bitcoin payments. I haven't looked into this, if this is true there are many things I have wanted to buy on Newegg, and this could make me go ahead with the purchases instead of using restricted credit cards from my country.

It is a different story in my country, there is only 1 out of 1000 that are accepting crypto, and even now that the government isn't very friendly with crypto adopters in the country it will take some balls to display "crypto is accepted here" in front of your store, I took down mine months ago and still accept Bitcoin behind closed door.

Is it a must to use swap? Because normally some swaps are more costly than using a centralized exchange, even the popular uniswap will take roughly this amount or even more.

Send the USDT to a centralised exchange account and swap to Bitcoin then withdraw, I am sure you will be spending less on withdraw fee than trying to swap, you will be able to cut one fee down instead of two.

Ethereum fee is one and the Bitcoin fee is another, this is why swapping can be more constly at times, the only chain I like to swap on with no problem is the BnB chain.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My favorite loser on: May 18, 2024, 11:10:28 AM
If that's the behavior of the loser being so arrogant I wouldn't bet him as my favorite, and never in my gambling activities got favoritism on particular player who lose badly.
When I bet for sports betting, it's only for the game and not for specific individual who performs the sports. I care about their emotions, they're same humam like us, a special being who strive harder in their career.
So here in gambling it's more like sportsmanship, if win then you're lucky them if not well we should accept the reality that it's not our time of fortune.

There is money to be made here, the odds are always better on such people but it is a smart move betting on this tennis player, I can't help but do the same, it is not as if i will be rewarded for choosing some who is cool headed, when it comes to money you need to be smart.

If someone's temper or anger issue is how I can make money then why not? It was never meant to be easy anyway, and knowing his to be this arrogant is good for my money, who cares? We are all humans, I don't expect everyone to be cool-headed, some will surely be arrogant.

I don't have a favorite loser to bet on like OP because I don't have the time to dig into someone else's life and behaviour, I am more of a casino game gambler I like slots and few others and the only sports game i like is football.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: May 18, 2024, 09:13:21 AM
Those who don't like going outdoor knows how to derive fun from online gambling too, there is always fun present in gambling either online or offline, you choose.

It depends on who we are, and fortunately there is online casinos and also offline casinos, I am someone who don't have all the time to go out and gamble, because my business is all about crafting and it is always indoors.

My online job is also indoors, a quiet haven where I can think deeply, this is why I believe that online gambling is good for me, I can do it on my free times and in a private space, where no one will know what I am up to.

Gambling online is related to profit making and so is offline gambling, this hard times no one visits the casinos nearby to catch crusie with friends.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cash out or let it ride? on: May 18, 2024, 07:12:34 AM
I suppose its much better to let it ride until you feel bad about losses. I would never kill my lucky mood and keep gambling until I start to lose drastic amount of money. Then I would stop myself.

You have this feeling of luck mood in you? What if it gets too late before you wake up from your slumber? Sorry to call it slumber because the luck mood you made mentioned sounds like someone who is under some intoxication.

I envy you, I would like to know how much this have worked for you so far, this isn't the first time I will hear such on this forum, especially when they are talking about slots games, it will get to a point where the winning will just keep coming nonstop and they feel good with it.

I have never waited around for such, I always take my profits right after, I stick to this idea that the more time I spend in gambling the bigger the chances that things will fall apart.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing all your fortune with just 3 years on: May 18, 2024, 06:02:27 AM
I’m not sure if this story was already shared here but I just recently watch this gambler sad story from social media that is really heartbreaking.

The subject is Terrance Watanabe which is a successful businessman who has a huge business and money that becomes addicted on gambling. He lose a total of 127M which is all his fortune that he earn from his business. Imagine all your hardworking was turn out to nothing after a few years of gambling addiction.

The sad part here was he became a victim of casino scheme of alluring user with their offers and allowing him to play while drunk until he loss everything.

He manage to wager a whooping 825M $ in just a single year when he lose that 127M.


Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gambler-lost-127m-in-2007-sues-casino/

As a gambler who likes visible-located casinos, don't ever take any free drinks or food from the casino, you can be a target without you knowing that you are.

Especially people who are rich like this man, they will want to get the best of him for sure, he let his guide down and got stung, I will blame the casino for these losses, they are preying on him to make him lose.

I also don't get why many rich men like this person will decide to gamble with millions, I have friends who told me that if they can get some amount every month as salary they will stop gambling forever.

The reason why many people are into gambling is to make money, and the other few are here to have some fun, many will choose to walk away from gambling if they are already worth millions in dollars.
14  Economy / Gambling / Re: I would like to place a $1,000,000 bet on: May 17, 2024, 01:21:56 PM
Your money your choice.

Still I find this choice to be crazy, a million dollars on betting is stupid, you could end up on the street if things go south for you, if you really can afford to lose a million dollars you won't be available on this forum to ask this question, I could be wrong but I doubt.

Let see, if I have a million dollars now, I can easily turn it to 2 million dollars investing in Bitcoin, all I need to do is wait for few months, even putting this amount into Ethereum will net me easy 2x, way safer than using this huge amount to gamble online.

OP, are you for real?
15  Economy / Gambling / Re: Hit the MAX WIN on Zeus vs Hades—$240K payout in crypto! 🚀🚀🚀 on: May 17, 2024, 10:27:01 AM
but the sad thing in this is that OP is not given a chance to take the funds all in instead via Installment
I don't know what is their plans or maybe they just wanted to let the winner try his luck more? because they
knew that for sure that player will be attempting to gamble more since he has funds inside that casino and
since he cannot take them out so he has no choice but to gamble more?
there was this case in the past that I read in this forum that has the same situation and that said
claimant have lose all the money even the casino let him withdraw because of that delaying tactics , I will
not deal with this site for sure.


I don't like these limitations, they allow people to bet high and if they win they delay their payments for months... It's a shady practice, and sadly many casinos have these withdrawal limitations. Delaying tactic just to make players continue to gamble, or they don't wish to hurt their "bankroll" too much, anyway it's not fair.

Well, OP shared that he got 5 ETH. Maybe he will come again and share more about his story with ETHCasino. I would like to know if he will get his money in the end.

I would like to know if this casino is a popular one because that could be the problem if the casino isn't generating enough money weekly they will put restrictions on the amount that OP can withdraw daily, I think the casino is still new and struggling to survive because I don't see any reason that is better than this one.

If OP used Stake he would have gotten paid but mind you, he might not get this luck using a popular online casino like some of my friends used to say, I hope he will keep coming back to this thread to keep us updated, and I hope he withdraw all the amount successfully.

Allowing gamblers to bet very high means they can lose very big too, this doesn't mean the casinos should check their account balance first before allowing gamblers to bet high.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your slices Luck that would have made you millionaire in gambling? on: May 17, 2024, 08:46:10 AM
I don't want to be in that situation, it is an eternal punishment.

Gambling will make you feel like it is possible to be a millionaire, but at the same time it is impossible, this is killing you on the inside if you believe so much in such nonsense, don't go looking for something out of nothing, be a realistic person, you must believe that working harder and investing is the only way you can become financially free and gamble for fun sakes only.

Always use what you can only afford to lose, and if luck is truly on your side you will win big, this is a different case than expecting to win big, it is not healthy and this is what fuels gambling addiction.

I have never dreamt of becoming a millionaire through gambling, even if this is possible it should happen when I don't expect it, this is more healthy than hoping, I feel better risking what I can afford in gambling, it is better if people do the same..

The creator of Bitcoin is on this forum  Shocked

This got me pretty hooked when I read it from somewhere online, i was not new to the forum then I just decided not to use it because I had no reason to, not knowing that I was deceiving myself.

Merely stumbling on this forum could make you walk out in seconds, thinking about what could possibly be on here that you already don't know everything I know about crypto then was through Google search engine.

Until I read that the creator of Bitcoin is on here, I started thinking that I could ask him some questions and I found out that he isn't active anymore, this was what pushed me to start reading on the forum, and then I loved it more.

I never knew that airdrops were possible on here because years back many airdrop platforms were available so I used them to make money, it was later I found out that you can join airdrops and bounties on the forum too.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: End Goal or Keep HODLing? on: May 17, 2024, 06:09:00 AM
No one would invest and keep on holding till they die, everyone invest to gain profit, and they would surely take it when they reach their goal.
What's the point on investing if you wouldn't even use your profit? it is an investment not charity do you plan on just being a contributor to make the price higher?
Agree. There is no one who plans to hold Bitcoin until he dies. Everyone who buys Bitcoin must plan to sell their Bitcoin at a certain price. He must expect to take profits from the investment, it is a normal way of people in Bitcoin investment. Although there are people who hold Bitcoin for many years, I'm sure they will also sell the Bitcoin and take profits someday in the future.

It is pretty true that it doesn't make sense if people always keep holding without any purpose. Why people spend their money in Bitcoin if they never get profits? I sounds quite strange that there are people who never sell their Bitcoin. Honestly, I never met the typical of people who hold Bitcoin for many years.



While hodling can be profitable, but we will only come to realize those real profits if we decide to sell them after years of keeping them. That’s the only way where we can enjoy our hard-earned profits once we start selling them for real. However, we can always decide not to sell them all but sell just a portion of them, that is if we are still looking forward for our future profits. While bitcoin can satisfy our longing for profits, but knowing its value appreciates more in the years to come, then it’s best to sell them in portion every year so we can still increase the amount of our profits.

This is correct but some holdings will turn to huge amount of money that we can't spend all, unless we start buying things that we don't need, many people only want to have great life experience that is why they use Bitcoin as their own Gold.

For example, I have most of my money in Bitcoin and I have decided to acquire more Bitcoin as time goes on, this doesn't mean that I won't spend some if need be  and I will take profits when Bitcoin makes a new high so that I will have enough to use for buy back in the next bear market.

Banks are reserves for humans, today Bitcoin is my own reserve, at least I will be ahead of inflation, unlike Fiat money, if I need to spend I will go into my Bitcoin wallet, as if I am operating my bank account.

Realized profits you say? I don't care much about this because Bitcoin is a digital gold, it is only newbies who don't understand the four-year circle will believe that they missed the top already, if you want to secure some funds then do it when Bitcoin makes an ATH.
19  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is the Worst online Casino you've played on so far? on: May 16, 2024, 09:52:29 AM
There are different reasons why people feel like a casino is worse, but the most common reason is how often they win, a less fortunate casino is the worst ones for many gamblers, who cares about designs when you are winning?

If the games are playable, if I can withdraw my wins then I am good even if the casino has ugly designs, I don't like jumping from one online casino to another unless I use the casino for too long and I never get lucky, my own "too long" means after trying my luck for months and no luck finds me, this is a good reason enough to change the casino.

The worst experience a gambler can face is that if dubious casinos like 1xbit and others, a cheating casino is the worst experience anyone can have, I have never used such online casinos before because I always choose from the bests, if you can do this you won't have any worst experience as a gambler, but like i have said, everyone has different reasons why they will call an online casino worst.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto as job salary - Yay or Nay? on: May 16, 2024, 08:56:28 AM
Let's say you have a job that gives you the option to have your salary paid in BTC, ETC, or any other cryptocurrency, would you prefer that or would you rather still be paid in fiat? If you'd prefer crypto payment, which currency would you choose and why?

This would be your hard-earned money that can either grow on its own or shrink in value within a short time.

I would love to accept crypto as my monthly salary, they will do me the favor of DCAing with no extra charges while trying to exchange Fiat into crypto, but it won't make a difference to many people, because they still need money to live, they have bills to pay, so most of that money will be changed back to Fiat.

As you can see, it makes no sense to get paid in crypto when you will be needing fiat to survive, unless you are the type that has more than one job that pays, so you can accept crypto payments here and Fiat as payment in another job.

If you want to accept Bitcoin as payment, then it should depend on the person paying for the transaction fee, if it is the company then it is welcoming, but if you have to pay for the transaction fee I don't think it is worth it, every coin count, and few times in a week you will see Bitcoin transaction fee going higher.

If you have other means of surviving it will be cool to get paid in BTC and hold, especially now that we are in a bull market, your whole salary can easily turn into double in a few months later or even more.
