1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is BITCOIN going to rise still, or will it later go down on: Today at 03:11:06 AM
1. At this stage, will BITCOIN's value go more than this?
Yes Bitcoin value will go more than this or will I say it price will increase more than this in the future, and I am certain about that.

2. What if we woke up someday and its value dropped below what we expected?
Surly in as much as Bitcoin is volatile in nature there must always be ups and down, no one can predict it outcome. It might go above our expectations and may go below our expectations but however so far as Bitcoin is concerned, there have never been any negative feedback from  Bitcoin history.  So Bitcoin future is bright.

Is there really better features or the casino just wants you to keep coming back for more?
I don't think if there is any feature like that Maybe there may be such, but I can't figure it right now. But even if such feature exist, it can only give you a daily bonus that would not amount to anything, maybe after checking in for long then the small amount of bonuses generated may be used for gambling in their app. That is what I sudgest but am not quite sure about it. But although most casino only gives this offer at signup, and after the signup thats the end.

The fact is that there is no feature that will be much different from the feature of gambling and losing fund to the house.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you spin? on: Today at 01:48:34 AM
I don't think I can try this type of spin even if happens to be real, any gambling that involves life or death is a treath to life and should no be encouraged.  in this type of game, don't be surprised that your first spin will just land in death instead of entering any of those reasonable amount. This looks like the type of gambling of the man who bet on a riding on a deadly hurricane Milton. To me anything gambling that involves life am out of it, be it joke or reality.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Was gambling a reason for you to discover Bitcoin / cryptocurrencies? on: Today at 01:30:58 AM

The question is: Did gambling play a major role when you started to use Bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrencies? Or was it at least one factor among others?

There are many possible reasons, for example privacy. Of course you can explain yours in this thread.
There is no major role gambling played when I started it, as a matter of fact, I don't know for others but For me my case was different, I had passion for Bitcoin and it  didn't just increase or grow as a result of crypto Casino. I have known about Bitcoin and has been investing on it a long term before I know about crypto Casino. And even as I have known about crypto Casino, I don't quite use it often .
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The rich is hugely favoured in gamble. on: September 19, 2025, 07:25:39 PM
His argument is that the rich people gambling do not have to pack a lot of odds as in parlay bet to accumulate a high odd size that will give a satisfying potential win. The rich has the money to risk huge amount to a single game for instance 2 odds staked with $1 million to win $2 millions,  but the poor staking with $100 to win  $2 million has to pick multiple legs to accumulate odds to get such potential win.  It hence decreases the gambling winning chance whilst the rich gambler chance remains increased.
Gambling doesn't favour the rich more than the poor, In as much as gambling is concerned both parties win and lose. There is no guarantee that even betting 1.11 odd is sure by the rich . I see that many people often think that staking high with less odd increase your chances of win, but forgets that staking huge is also increasing your level of lose in each bet. Let's say a rich guy who stake $1m with. 2 odd game and the game cuts, he will lose the $1m sometimes he might play such game in 3 different tickets and all result to loses and it will amount to lost of $3m within few minutes. But a poor person will gamble with what he can afford to lose. This can be staking $5 in each bet with 500 to 1000 odd and if he happens to win the game, his life will change. So lets not always see the advantage of the rich betting with less odd but we should also think of the loses. What I have been able to understand in Gambling or betting is that no odd is certain no matter how small it is. So thinking that less odd will guarantee high chance of winning, is a big lie. Go and check majority of people who follow the strategy of single bet, they lost frequently because no odd is sure.

We all know that our economy is getting very bad as the day goes and it's very difficult for most people to feed not to talk of having the patience to hodl their money and watch it grow, people would rather use it to feed and sustain themselves, although I'm not speaking for everyone but I'm curious to know if there are still serious holders in our country in this present economic situation?
The point is that even as the poverty rate is increasing by the day due to economic inflation, it doesn't mean that people are not investing or HODLing. You can only talk about yourself but not for everyone. All fingers are not equal, so even as we have the poor we still have the rich and people who are doing fine. Just to satisfy your curiousity, I will say that there are Bitcoin whales HODL large amount of Bitcoin in their custody.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to avoid cashing out your game on: September 18, 2025, 06:01:31 AM
There was an extent I followed the game up I was angry the way Juventus was playing, once they equalize union giloise will score and it was annoying so at 90 minutes I cash out NGN 400 because I was so angry only for me to check back and saw 4:4 that was the most annoying part and I think if I would have gone to bed I wouldn't have cash out the game. So I think most times the only way to avoid this is by going to bed and forget about it but sometimes you need to stay up to monitor the game.

What do you guys think?
You made me laugh so hard when you said you cashed out #400 emagine Staking #5000 and cashing out #400 that is so weird. Of course that is wining at Lost. If it was me, no matter the anger in me I would just let it slide instead of cashing it out. What I will advice you is that you should try as much as possible to avoid being aggressive when gambling because you did this out of being overaggressive. Don't always attached emotion to Gambling, if you gamble just zero your mind at it and watch the game. If you think you can't monitor the game just relax and wait till it ends. Cashout option is good but you can use it wrongly and think it is not good, cashout option is good but your decision on when to use it matters alot. When you use it at the right time it becomes good but when you use it at the wrong time it becomes bad, that is what I noticed about people using the cashout option. And it now looks as if cashout option is bad.

they key is:

short term no on knows what btc will do hourly daily weekly even monthly.

but.

2009 to 2019 up
2010 to 2020 up
2011 to 2021 up
2012 to 2022 up
2013 to 2023 up
2014 to 2024 up
2015 to 2025 up


that record remains perfect
Definitely bitcoin has been up right from the oncept, although we have had several corrections and dip and bearish season, but non can be compared to its bullish season. bitcoin has been up always and we are hoping for more greater heights. even though JJG made this statement that None of us has any fucking clue what the BTC price is going to do in the future, so if we front load our investment, we need to be prepared that the price might move against us.. this  doesn't mean that bitcoin will not do fine, but just to keep our mind prepared for the worst case scenario. this means that as we expect the good we should also expect the bad or worst in anticipation, so that we wouldn't be much affected is such situation if it happens in any way, even though such will not happen.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: We work to earn, not to struggle in life. on: September 18, 2025, 05:00:25 AM
In our country, this is the most common tradition or belief. While we're young, we were taught to study hard and finish schooling, and get a stable job. Because once we have already acquired a stable job, we will start earning and improve our lives. And create consistent progress, until we end up getting rich and enjoy the best things in life.
well i guess that is the philosophy of man and not the reality, reality of life will definitely put you where you belong and not what you where thought. this philosophy is a kind of motivation that will help people to study hard to make it in life, because the teachers/parents knows that life is the survival of the fittest. our parents know that to make it in life is very difficult but they tried their best to give us the quality education we deserve to increase our chances of becoming rich in the future since they believe that education is the key. yes it might not be possible for all of us to become rich but most will be rich. lets take this forum for example we work and get paid here from signature campaign because we can read and write, what if it weren't for the education that our parent put us through, how would we be making at least some money here even if its not enough to make one rich but it solves a lot of problem this periods of economic inflation.
    
But I don't think we are getting align with it. Instead of working to earn and get rich, why are majority now end up struggling in life? Honestly, what I'm seeing right now is that we work to survive, not to make money and get rich in the process. Could this be the real possibility of life? Or we are just blinded by fantasies in life? Or is it because working alone is never sufficient enough to make riches in life, but we need various investments to achieve success and get wealthy in the long run?

I know different opinions and ideas may arise, but I'll be more willing to read and reflect each of it.

the fact is that every one must not be rich, there are forces challenging man existent and making man not to become what they think of becoming. they could be as follows:
1 lost focus
2 addiction into gambling, drug, womanizing without control etc.
3 laziness and procrastination.
4 Negative mindset due to bad pair groups can change your focus.
5 a person can be bewitched by a sorcerer not to succeed in life and a certain character may emanate without trace.
6 lack of financial management, and or lack of planning.
7 depending to only work with your certificate without finding alternative to be productive.

the fact is that "it takes everyone to go to school but it takes few people to be rich" just like the saying that "many are called but few are chosen". it is applicable to all sector.

Surely we are in a world that everyone wants to become rich by all means and they can do funny or silly things to get this money to themselves including scamming attempt of making things look too real to be true. We should really be careful when some offers are given to us because at first it always looks nice and good, but if you examine yourself you will discover that it is fake especially when it look too good to be true. We just really need to be careful.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: Earning salary or owning a business which is better on: September 17, 2025, 08:19:24 PM
Salary earners end up spending their salary buying from the business owners making the business owners to get profit from the business while the salary earners end up with nothing.
Well from my point of view, there is nothing wrong in buying goods from a business owner,and  thinking that buying something from business people will make them more Richer is a lame thinking. then I will like to ask that does it mean that no one will buy goods from each other's again anymore? Definitely the system is programmed where we will have the producer down to consumers. So it's either you are a producer or a consumer. If you find yourself in the category of the consumers don feel cheated because of that. If you think you are being cheated by what you buy from others, then try and create one and see how it is.
14  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Nigeria law works for those that follow and respect the law. on: September 16, 2025, 11:59:29 PM
Well I get your point though but this doesn't happen all the times as you said, Because I have been a victim before. The fact is that those that doesn't have their complete papers may be attacked by the police officer but in most cases your papers may be complete but they will be looking for ways to extort money from you or still looking for a little fault. They have a system that makes them believe people much drop something. And when you want to claim your right, they might still be looking for fault or delaying you just because you don't want to settle them. The truth is that even though you know your right and has everything complete, they might still delay your movement over others who has has money but don't have their papers complete, Nigeria just have a currupt system which your right may not count always like you thought.

First thing you will do if you win big time in a Casino?
I have gone through the link you sheard and have seen the story, but I will like to answer the question on the op, which mostly emphasis on what I will do with my won amount if I win huge today. Well what I will do is to settle all my dept to avoid any form of embarrassment. Secondly I will pretend to leave a normal lifestyle that will not attract people eyes to me. I will invest in Bitcoin and startup a business and avoid gambling totally to avoid addiction.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are bitcoins marked as "dirty" when received from a casino? on: September 16, 2025, 04:58:55 PM
In connection with the tightening of regulation (when bitcoins in exchangers are marked as "dirty"), I have the following question: have you encountered the situation when your BTC-transactions received as a reward for participating in signature campaigns were marked as "dirty" and you had difficulties cashing out bitcoin into traditional money?
Well in all my stay in this forum and the signature campaigns I have promoted, non has ever proven difficult in withdrawal. I have never had difficulties in cashing out my fund in local fiat due to some regulation or my account being marked as dirty. As far as I know most of the casino promoted here are reputable casino. And I don't think they will do such. It's only some illigal casino that may claim that some fund are dirty for the sake of finding escuse to trap the fund in there site.  In conclusion I have never encountered any thing like that.

Have you ever had cases of bitcoin being marked "dirty" because it is bitcoin from a casino address?
Like I said earlier I have never seen or come across such situation. Although I have heard something like that before and I think similar thread has been created concerning this, but I myself had never come across it.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does intent matter? on: September 16, 2025, 05:24:17 AM
There are a lot of new investors in the space currently. Almost everyone now knows of bitcoin. Some too well while some maybe not too much. But for the people who buy bitcoin, I am sure we all have different reasons for wanting to buy. Does the intention why you bought bitcoin in the first place matter?
of course the intention matters, everyone knows the important of investing in bitcoin. so asking if the intention why we bought bitcoin matters is an understatement, because it is for profit making and nothing more than that.

I would say yes. If your intent is to keep up with the trends and make easy money then you are most likely to give up immediately and be attacked by FUD easily. But if you truly believe in bitcoin and its fundamental characteristics then you can stick with it against the bear market.
sure, anyone that only focus on the trend or want to make quick money from bitcoin may get disappointed by bitcoin volatility especially when the price is down, so we should prioritize long term investment over short term investment. the goal is to accumulate bitcoin stash now as much as possible to have more sizable bitcoin stash in our portfolio against the future, because the future is definitely bright with bitcoin.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: politicians gambling on: September 16, 2025, 03:56:56 AM
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?Huh?
Surely it is ironic, What goes around comes around as the saying goes. Definitely if the government of Filippines are trying to reduce the rate of online gambling or fighting against gambling, it definitely mean that they are also going to be affected because we have Large numbers of rich online Gambler in Filipippines, am quit sure they will also be affected except there is another way they will sort themselves out, without being affected by the law.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which can be more addicting? on: September 15, 2025, 11:55:43 PM
When an individual gamble every day what happens is that it becomes a lifestyle and that becomes an addiction so it better that an individual use a huge amount of money to gamble, once in a while rather than to gamble every day with small amounts of money just like the way the poor gambler's are doing every day.
Definitely a gambler who gambles every day would be more likely to get addicted and there is no two ways about that. I guess the op knows that already but wants to pull our legs. The gambler who gambles once in a while can never be addicted like a regular Gambler. There is power in consistency than a person who is not consistent. Consistency in Gambling can be considered as addiction because it is  driven by a force.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which can be more addicting? on: September 15, 2025, 07:50:47 PM
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?
Surely you can't compare both of them. Of course a person that gambles small amount frequently is more likely to get addicted than the person that gambles once in a while, or gambles casually annually or occasionaly. The both can never be thesame in any way.

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.
A gambler who gambles occasionally with large fund may lose big at ago and decide not to gamble again since it's not going to be frequent while a person than gamble more often may decide to keep gambling and getting addicted chasing win or loses. We can't just compeard both in which ever ways.

So what do you think gets someone more addicted?
Of course we all knows that it's chasing after win or lose and nothing more.
