If you have been profitable playing slot games then that's cool for me but it's should take too long so as not to have an eye problem.
Seen you are always playing slot games, it would be preferable if you have your glasses on so the light emission from the screen would not cause problem to your iris. If you are always using your phone or computer, it would be quite okay if you put on the light to neutralize the white light coming from the screen of your phone or laptop. Make sure you reduce how frequently you get attracted to Ray of light from computer.
Where did you get this idea from? I've never heard about any gambler getting eye problem because they play slot games for too long, and who the hell plays slot game for a whole day everyday? It's impossible because it doesn't take very long to get drained. Slot games have the habit of screwing you all over and the only way to get ahead of this trap is limiting the time spent on the slot machine or slot engine if it's on a online casino. This isn't about slots alone, every gambling games or bets, the more time you spend on them the highly likely you will end up living on the street, or possibly becoming a struggling addict. |

If your goal is to become rich make sure you put your health in the same level as how much you want to get rich, many people don't look after their health until things start happening with their body.
Saving so hard to invest later isn't easy and some work are more harder than the others, if you are into heavy work or jobs it is wiser to look after your health, always go for checkup every six months Max.
Don't be greedy with your health, don't wait until you get rich before you look after your health, it could be over already before your dream come true, I know two people that passed away this way, they give all they can but ignore their body and health.

Hardware wallets are safer than hot wallets but the fact is they still need to be handled with maximum care and precision. The internet can be a nightmare and that is the reason why we sought out as much as possible to take our coins as far away from it as possible. Regardless of your storage time you should always have alternative backups. If you use a hardware wallet it's a good Idea to also make a paper wallet back up. For your hot wallet too ,same thing applies. One thing I've learnt over the years is no storage method is 100% safe there's always a loop hole that's why we have to be as careful as possible. Most people are using smartphone today, now tell me how many people are careless with their phones? The numbers are high and that says the same thing with hardware wallets. Generally some people are careless with everything, hardware wallet can't be locked away and wait for ten years before you come back, because the software needs to be updated regularly. These updates are mostly security patches and that's why it's very important to always update the hardware, apart from this some people are just careless, they throw around every gadgets they own like it's a toy, this is is were damages and exposure is likely to occur. |

It happened to me a few years ago. My relatives visited my house and they brought their kid with us. We are very close to each other and visit each other very often, so nothing new here but one day, when they came, my mother asked me to go to the supermarket to bring bread, cola and some other stuff. I was playing slots during this moment on my PC and she was in a rush, so I minimised the browser and immediately went to the supermarket. I had $10 deposited on slots, remember this. Then I come at home and I see this 2-3-year-old kid has opened my browser tab and clicks on the space button and is very happy, laughing. I immediately went to the PC and I see that this kid has opened my slots and every time he clicks on the space button, slots are spinned and it makes him very happy but my balance went down to zero  It was so funny experience that it brings me smile every time I think about this. Imagine you are the type that likes using large amount of money on slot games, the kid would have wasted all the money before you come back, you are smiling because the amount isn't much, it would have been a never forgetting tale in your head. Consider yourself lucky, next time create a second or two to quit the browser or even shut down your laptop, kids shouldn't be toying with laptops or computers because they can press something that will nearly end the computer OS, they can also click on bad links and your PC will be compromised. You will later be wondering what went wrong, this can cause some asset loss if you are the type that like running crypto wallet on your PC, be careful with your computer and kids. |

I've personally got a blockchain wallet from 2014 that I'm locked out of.
Don't know how much is in there.
Has anyone here had luck recovering old/lost wallets? If so how much was in there?
I've tried various passwords over the years but no luck.
FreeWallet victim here, I lost millions of doge coin that I was farming through faucets and gambling platform in 2017, it was a painful past that I still struggle to forget till today. It's all my fault, I don't do good research on wallets to know some difference between custodial and non custodial wallets, I just find a wallet online, download it and start depositing some coins on the wallet. Freewallet don't give me any private key or recovery seed, we are allowed to log into the wallet using email and password but I couldn't log in again after several months of use have passed, some small amount of BTC was also lost to freewallet too. |

The hunter became the hunted yet again I have seen similar stories countless times online but mostly not about gambling apps, let's be realistic with this, isn't this a way of cheating your way to win? If you are the type patronising such act then you deserve to get scammed. I like the fact that the scammer want to hunt those who also want to cheat a gambling or betting platform, I will like to keep my advice to myself to avoid cheaters running to safety, I want them to be a victim of their own evil mind. To avoid scammers on telegram you need to avoid strangers sending you PM, adjust your security settings, but if you are into something to cheat your way into making money or robbing a casino business you deserve everything that happen or will happen to you. |

I wouldn't want to create a very lengthy topic to post as I don't see any reason for doing so..
So I was thinking something tonight that everyone or anyone who succeeded or becoming wealthy today do they really succeed through investments?
If yes, then how many people around you becoming wealthy through investments?
In my opinion, the majority of people who were successful today started from personal skill or self development, after which before they started investments.
What Is your thoughts over this?
I see two things here and it seems you mixed them up, although it's possible to be successful still while doing both. Having a personal rare skill will get you there faster, that's why no one is like Elon Musk for what he does. The other part is for example those who invested in Real Estate while things are very cheap years back. We can also use those who invested early in BTC or same successful stocks today, that's why I said there are two things been mixed together here. To be successful is not all about investment, if one can come up with a new idea that the world needs bit don't know they need, the person will become successful faster. |

Is your friend a newbie who does not yet understand that gambling is a game of uncertainty, and things could go either way, you should be the one to feel regret for not winning anything while he has something to take home.
What's even more painful is when we ourselves join in or are deliberately victimized by our friends, who believe the game will bring quick profits. In some cases, anyone who lends them some money will be promised a quick return. Indeed, many strange ideas will emerge when someone becomes addicted, and they will certainly try their best to persuade or at least borrow funds to continue playing even if the end result is zero. This is the most scary part of gambling, you will believe that you get it under control only to find yourself in an unpleasant situation, kudos to all gamblers out there who have become a victim of themselves. No string attached is the best word that I can use to describe responsible act of gambling, if you can control or erase emotions you will do very well for yourself, there should be no room for feeling bad because you win too little or you lose a game. Desires and dreams in gambling will only messed up your good heart, you will get angry for no reason, for my mental health sake I choose to be a selfless gambler who isn't attached to winning by force when gambling. |

when we talk about politicians who were exposed for their crazy gambling habits we tend to talk about corruption but let us talk about hypocrisy in the philippines, the government is trying to lower the rates of where the filipinos gamble especially in online spaces but what does it say if the very politicians trying to push for fighting against gambling are also the ones exposed for playing? is it not ironic?  ? There is a rule that you are not allowed to visit much more to play if you are a government official in the Philippines. This is the reason that they fake their identity, because they will face administrative charges and forfeit all their benefits as a government official. There are reports that these accused government officials are playing in casinos to launder their money coming from the government. And when you have so much easy money at your disposal, you will not hesitate to gamble it away. These people are heartless government officials and deserve to be in jail. Government consists of people just like us, if some of us are been replaced in these people's position we will do more terrible than them, I will keep standing on my own fact that people crave for privacy to do similar things like this. The faking of identity was all about hiding who they really are and it still hurt them in return, they knew it was wrong to gamble while upholding the law against gambling but their addiction and crime habits won't let them. Casinos and laundering of money is like 5&6, yet some people are screaming for privacy, criminals in disguise pushing only one thing that will benefit their evil ways, good people in the day light and vampires in the night. They should face the consequences. |

Some people think that Bitcoin is so good that keeping there business finances or income in Bitcoin is the best idea forgetting that it is very wrong to do that.
As we all know bitcoin is highly volatile in nature and so when you keep your business income or money in Bitcoin it risk you losing some part of your money and also affecting your business because Bitcoin can drop in price at any minute and when that happens the money you kept in Bitcoin will drop in price and since the money is meant for your business the drop of it will affect your business financially and can lead to the fall of your business, money is what they use to run a business when there's no money the business will fall.
So don't keep your business money or income in Bitcoin so has to avoid lost, keep your business money in Fiat currency or a stable coin like USDT.
I've done this before and it doesn't back bite, in fact I made alot and I was able to expand my business, Bitcoin is far more reliable but what I will advice against is depending all your life on Bitcoin. It's wrong to be 100% into Bitcoin and not have something aside that you are doing, I know that Bitcoin has a future but there is nothing that's impossible in this life, anything can happen. Volatility is also real, if you can't figure out the right time to buy and hold Bitcoin you will end up selling when you should not, the best money for investing into Bitcoin is money you won't be needing any time sooner. |

Which can be more addicting between the two: placing small bets every day or gambling only once or twice a year but doing so with huge amounts of money?
If you place bets every day, your brain might get too used to it even if it is just a small amount but betting less frequently but with bigger amounts of money may lead you to be emotionally attached to that money and may feel extremely happy to win and extremely disappointed to lose.
So what do you think gets someone more addicted?
Gambling everyday will turn you into an addicted gambler, avoid doing this because you will become a distraction for your real life purpose, you should focus on making money and saving up some money for investment. To have better winning chances in gambling you need to avoid gambling every single day, you are been monitored as a gambler, those machines and games you see online are wired somehow to monitor your gambling strategy. Gambling once in a year with a large amount of money doesn't cut it for me either, unless you have a tip about the game where there is higher chance of winning, still I don't recommend using a very large amount of money because you can still lose it all. |

Sparrow is only available on desktops and not mobile phone. This Jimmy believed he was downloading a genuine version of a Sparrow Wallet app for his iPhone from the App Store.
Scammers have known already that we mostly use Android on this forum and that we do always report them. Apple app store was not mostly used before but Android Play store. But after many reports and taking down of their scam apps, they moved to App store for Apple. This is the reason App store scam wallets are many now. As lame as it sounds that the person download the wrong app on their phone it's possible that many people will still fall for the same scam trick because this days people want the easiest way to access their digital assets. They will never stop looking for easy ways to do so, android and iPhone is in the hands of billions of people in the world, more accessible than laptops and PC, so sparrow wallet is only available for computers but not everyone has a computer. This is what will triggers many people to fall for any fake sparrow wallets they find on appstore, I was a victim of this scam but I lost small amount of Bitcoin that costs around $300. I thought I knew it all but I was thought a new lesson, if a well popular crypto wallet company doesn't announced a mobile wallet it's wrong to go looking for one and if they announced one make sure you download from the official website. |

So just recently I got bored and spent most of my time spinning slots. Honestly, I already expected that money to be gone because we all know slots are bankroll killers. But this time I got lucky, my disposable bankroll shot up to almost 100x. Ended the day full of excitement, used some of the winnings to hang out with friends, had a few drinks, and of course I left a bit aside for the next session (once the hangover fades).  The point I want to share is we should manage our expectations when playing games where we don’t have an edge. That way if we lose, it’s easier to move on. And if we happen to get lucky, like I did, the feeling of victory is even sweeter. Knowing when to stop and take time to enjoy yourself after a win is a great trait. Whatever you're doing, being able to stop and not get greedy is a wonderful trait. Most people don't feel satisfied with their winnings, even if they've won more than 100 times their deposit. Because they don't feel satisfied, they're likely to lose everything even after a big win. This important note should be a principle in gambling to enjoy your winnings. Congratulations, OP. It's necessary because gambling guarantees nothing, if one plays with this mindset they will have the best feelings as a gambler, they will be able to take control of their emotions and greed won't get the best of them. This is how I play too because each time I try to make something out of gambling it doesn't always end well, it's better to win when you don't expect it than to win simply because you are expecting it. You are doing yourself a favour, in return you get balanced reaction and emotions, your level of patience will gradually improve too. |

It's your right to give your KYC to anyone, including on the gambling platform, but being more selective would certainly be better to avoid data being used improperly.
This is everyone's privacy issue and for people who are reluctant to do KYC then they also have the right to stick to their principles.
Some casinos that implement KYC will also not guarantee anything, but if the casino has obtained a certificate and is legally operated that is supervised by the government, perhaps it will be safer.
Rather than just giving KYC to new casinos that we don't know about, non KYC casinos that provide a lot of bonuses but will also end up deceiving a lot of people.
Before Zero Knowledge ID check comes, i don't see a better solution to it then current method, and at least EU is taking privacy seriously because, casinos and other institutions that require KYC needs to comply with GDPR privacy law. Giving KYC doesn't "guarantee" anything, but neither does non-kyc casinos. In fact, i rather trust casinos that want to build for the future and accept regulations, then casinos that try to evade regulations. God bless my friend, many people don't just get it and they talk as if they can die for privacy or decentralised casinos, they don't know the dangers that they possessed, it looks like something that can protect people because they don't want to expose who they are but on the other hand these platforms have all the reasons to rob their customers too. If a decentralised casino goes bad there is nothing the law can do, and people will be calling them out on here like dumb beings, a bad casino with no regulation will hurt anyone with full chest, nothing the authorities can do about it. If the casino is been regulated the attention of the law can be called, investigation will be a lot easier because the casino is registered and given the permission to run by the regulators. |

I could decide to be noisy about my wining if I am in the midst of people who are into gambling and also like celebrating their winning including me in the celebration, when it's my time too I have to do the same.
I know some people that loves doing this, and it's is exciting to watch them but I am different I like keeping things to myself, especially success and achievement stories.
I make enemies easily and i've stopped exposing myself to anybody, even some relatives too, all I can say is it depends on who you are and what works for you, just be careful.

Having a dedicated airgapped hardware wallet locking your coins away from your smartphone and computer or anything with online access will keep you safe, many victims played themselves out.
Some intentionally made themselves vulnerable because of greed while some click on the wrong links, like what are they looking for? Even after clicking on the wrong link and it request for you to link your wallet, why the wallet that consist of all your life savings?
I am not a smart dude myself and I am not blaming everyone but there are a high numbers of victim that got hunted because of their own recklessness.

Its always one out of 100 females that are capable of taking risks like any man would do, this is why I keep telling people that females are better at been a gambler because they know how to protect themselves.
I know there are some addicted female gamblers out there but they are not many, females don't like losing money, once the tank is getting empty they know when to stop, something most men can't do until they lost it all.
Risk taking is really not gender based because it depends on the type of risk, a mounded mother is ten times more crazier, when it comes to watching over their children they are a big risk takers too.

What's the difference with cellphone which exist before AI boom?
Someone create a cellphone, but they only give 3x OS update, in fourth year we no longer able to update the OS. Our cellphone is getting slower from time to time and in the next few years our cellphone no longer support the apps we installed before.
I think it's not about AI, but technology creators create this system to make us forced to get rid from old devices, then buy the new one.
This is true, correctly you just described the story of my life, I like my xiaomi phone very much that I am not ready to replace it but the OS are outdated, later some apps start requesting for latest updates to run. Fast-forward to now I have no choice but to run a custom OS on my phone and damn I did the right thing, the phone is now more snappy and also less junky than before. The OS is also more secured and reliable than the factory OS, so if you are facing something similar there are some custom OS from thirdparty devs that are open source and far more secured than factory OS, there is no app that I can't run right now on my phone. |

The second quote below will shock you if you have not read about it before. You can read the news yourself if you click on this link: https://cointelegraph.com/news/iphone-17-memory-protection-boosts-crypto-securityThis is the part that I like about the news: “Security improvements reduce overall risk but don’t make devices invulnerable,” Hacken said, asking users to be vigilant and expect new vulnerabilities. Also do not think your phone is not vulnerable but you can learn how to avoid hacks to significantly minimize how you will be vulnerable to hackers. Another most important part is where I saw that people should not have huge amount of coins on a wallet on their online device. You can be an expert and still have a vulnerable wallet. You can read this about it: [quoe=https://cointelegraph.com/news/iphone-17-memory-protection-boosts-crypto-security]Apple’s crypto users have been facing serious security threats. Last month, it was revealed that a zero-click vulnerability allows attackers to compromise iPhones, iPads and Macs without user interaction. Apple released security patches across multiple OS versions to fix the flaw. What if you are a victim before the security patches. [/quote] Apple products was a disaster for storing digital assets but that's back then, still I don't recommend anyone to store coins on a apple wallet devices, I still like android a bit better in this specific area. I don't know why people aren't bother to store a thousand dollars worth of coins on a crypto wallet that runs on mobile phone, if you can gather a thousand dollars you can safe up for a hardware wallet. The difference is a hardaware wallet is solely build for keeping coins safe while a android or iPhone are build for many functions, to run different applications and browse the Web, this makes them a bad choice for keeping large amount of digital currencies. |

There were reports of countries implementing a total ban on gambling without consideration of the outcome of the ban after gambling had been part of their society for decades. But this news is very different; in Hong Kong, they are moving to legalize basketball betting in an effort to combat illegal betting. This is due to the massive amount of money involved and the projected huge taxes that should go to the government's coffers. Do you think it's impossible to stop people from betting legally or illegally if gambling has become a part of their culture What do you think of the move good or bad The illegal basketball betting market in Hong Kong has seen significant growth, with the Hong Kong Jockey Club estimating the market turnover for illicit bets to be between HK$70 billion and HK$90 billion in 2024. This illegal market involves approximately 430,000 residents participating in unregulated betting, prompting the government’s move to establish a controlled environment for betting enthusiasts.
Hong Kong Legalizes Basketball Betting in Effort to Combat Illegal GamblingIn a world where gambling is legalised it means that the government is benefiting from the activity and it makes sense to me, because if the government decide to place ban on gambling they will lose the fight. The defeat on the government side is they really can't ban gambling, they can only stop located gambling dens from existing but gamblers can still gamble internationally using the Internet and other tools. It's also their loss if the ban gambling because taxes on gambling platforms and businesses are always big, enough to fund some other projects in the country, it's better to legalize gambling than to ban it. |
