I am curious what is the one thing that you will never bet with? I am not talking about life because I think almost everyone will say that already but instead I am talking about other things. Like your house, your car or maybe some weird thing like your favorite shirt or the mug your father gave you. Those kinds of things. It would be interesting to see how people value different things within the metrics of gambling.
I've come across stories of bettors staking values that're aside direct funds but other valuable materials and properties. That's really weird to even think about taking such risks. I really feel curious about the kind of confidence they posses to make them take such risks. In my lifetime of gambling I've only betted with money and no other nature of values is attached unless I've s friendly atmosphere where I'd have to play with friends then we can all agree that we'd be awarding winners with eatable such as snacks or drinks which is purchased by the funds we all contributed as stake. That's purely friendly games or fun that isn't profitable.

Crypto trading offers high rewards but also carries high risks. Without proper risk management, a single bad trade can wipe out weeks or months of gains. That’s why traders set clear rules for position sizes, stop-losses, and maximum exposure.
The goal isn’t just to win trades,it’s to protect capital so you can stay in the game long-term. Overleveraging, chasing losses, or going “all in” usually ends in disaster. Even experienced traders know the importance of managing risk over chasing constant wins. In crypto, survival is half the battle.Do you have a risk plan for every trade or do you rely on luck when markets turn against you?
First I'd suggest this thread be moved to the trading section. Overall winning and loosing is never meant an option for traders to decide which they want which means nomatter how experienced and learned you may be, you're not going to get it right all the times even when you actively applies the best trading strategies of you. Definitely as the predictions of cryptocurrencies is unpredictable, you'll must always bear lost as result to when you weren't on the right market track. Risk management will help you cut lost while you hunting according to the size your bank roll can carry. That's if you're a good risk managements trader though because there're them who trades without adhering to the risk factors and are always loosing beyond expectations and affordability.

What do you think about the network states perspectives?
Network states are not an alternative to existing governments. They could supplement it but won't completely replace. Definitely nomatter how technology may evolve in advancement where it can network states, without it being regulated it can never replace the core of the regulatory system that has been accustomed by the communities as traditions. The point is that blockchain in a universal technology only have influence on the people who agrees to adopt the system. It apparently can't force in to the replacement of the conventions because humans itself are answerable to the authorities is a privilege that the governments wouldn't let go for the other where national and local stakeholders can't exercise their power in it. Example; Crypto blockchain with all the news about it existence as borderless mknwyaeyy technology that despites it appreciable and realistic values with the scale of massive adoptions, it hasn't been and will never in the nature of replacing the fiats

Everyone talks about Bitcoin as a trustless, decentralized system — a way to opt out of banks, governments, and middlemen. But here’s a question few are asking:
What happens when AI can fake identities, create realistic transactions, and forge proof of ownership?
We already have: • AI bots generating fake wallets and fake activity. • Deepfake videos of “prominent crypto figures” endorsing scams. • AI-driven social engineering that can impersonate anyone.
The problem isn’t Bitcoin itself — it’s the ecosystem built around it. If people can’t tell what’s real, even decentralized networks might be manipulated at scale.
I should believe you've trust issues on the bitcoin blockchain. You're entitled to be this skeptic though because it's an unauthorized financial system that's validated and spent in the internet because if you do not understand the concept by which the proof of work is validated that integrates the solidity of its decentralization by which unaccountable thousands of miners from their strange regions whose computing inputs can generally be done on your disclosure and undisclosures. So you can imagine what it takes to crack the chains to oversee everyone else. I'm sure it's way out of being diluted to believe values is only accounted when you can hold it cash and regulated for validity before you can mindedly find your funds safe. I'm sure if you would love to control your own funds and understands the power of technology today could produce and process monetary activities online, you wouldn't be this skeptic. Though if you've interest and easy learning with technicalities, I'd advice you do research about the the trust for that bitcoin itself lies by it decentralized potentials in an open source.

is gambling addiction worsen by social media? althy?
Talking from the general overview, the media is an avenue that has breed addicted victims by trapping vulnerables to addictions following the approaches of how they've made their audiences to believe that winning in gambling will be as easy as it's advertised which maybe influence of the players wanting to get rich through the platforms. But in most cases it's not as thought because, it's your right and responsibility to decide your gambling life while underlining the risks attached to loosing self control in gambling for profits or fun are all points of pinning you down to be addicted. My yes is in the sense that most beginner gamblers nowadays derives the interest to gamble through the medias sensations and hypes with due "point of attractions" without considering the risk factors which could be harmful.

is self control enough in this economy?
in order to save money, is it enough to just prevent oneself from buying things unnecessary or limit ourselves to only what is needed to survive? is this a way to live? is there no other easy way aside from earning so much? syscausi sometimes i feel like even with utmost self control you still don’t end up getting rich due to expensive prices and lack of salary in general
Disciplines will always be a major form to suit the situation. It doesn't matter whether you're rich, average or less privilege. Nomatter how wealthy you maybe, if you undermines disciplines and lavishly spending above your incomes, you're definitely going to get broke somewhere in the future so, it's expected that we adjusts our manner of spending not just based on the condition of the economy but the values of our incomes. With the nature of the economy pandemics being more terrifying as inflations erupts in the due times, it's obvious that those holding their funds in the banks for long term suffers the most because the fiats in question looses it values against the inflations. So to curb this tension as cost of living gets high, it'll be necessary to "cut your coat according to your size" if your income must survive you in the long term. So after considering disciplines, it's of essence to have alternative source of incomes especially investing on where the value of your funds would have the potential to maximize the values of your funds even during inflation.

Hi everyone As an artist, is it advisable for me to showcase my art work here on this forum? I have been willing to ask this question, art is what I do and was born into, I just wanna know if I can share the view with you guys  I want to believe OP you have gotten the response you're looking for and the support as well. It will be better you luck this thread to avoid spamming here in the nearest future. Goodluck!

For now we don't know the essence of the Op's artworks so he'll have to efficiently navigate the forum so that the the works can stay in the appropriate board.

You might not be correct in the whole contexts but I understand your point. Investing with what you can affordable to loose dogo actually mean you should invest little with little amount. It's just a statement that have to remind you about the risks of the markets volatility and as a human whose expectations fails against your confident, there'll be a room for you to keeping going without a weigh down emotional and your striving to achieve your financial obligations.You can call it an adage or advice from experience users in the bitcoin market. And to make it clearer, your investment approaches which may be determined by your capital or accumulating plans determines your incomes depending on when you want to opt out. So it's right to invest with any amoun as long it can be tolerated. The risks is always yours based on affordability.

You find it funny because 2-3 years old kids made access to your computer, played games and blew your account? I don't think this is something for you to be funny about in the first place sighting them from afar. Atleast you should had think about the safety and orderliness of your personal files stored in the computer. I'm sure whatever they did there was out of their knowledge meaning they don't know what they were doing. Imagine fix they've formated your computer or accidentally sends out your documents to third parties online, I'm sure you'll become vulnerable. Also think about I'd you've got a huge amount in your casino wallet account, that's just how they'd had blew it all. After access whatever dramas they may have done there and you see your computer and data's safe, you should take a deep breath and not to find it funny. Hence, I'll advice you apply more concious ness and do well set your computer on security password.

If you really want to know how to trade very well I will advise you go for a lesson find someone to teach you about trade very well you can't actually learn it from reading books you need someone who is an expert in Trading to educate you on it very well, a lot of people that are very good in Trading right now learnt it from someone so I will advise you find a teacher that will teach you how to trade, I have a friend before he started trading he went for a training he paid for it and he was taught how to trade very well and they guided him when he first started and right now he's doing very well, learn trading on your own will make it very difficult for you but someone teaching you will make it very easy for you that is why I prefer and advise you to find someone who will teach you how to trade and remember don't just find anybody find someone who is very good in Trading and learn from him or her.
I thought of countering you from the beginning until you talked about the difficulties in learning this alone or all by reading. So I come in conclusion that you're right. Reading is definitely going to be the resourcesful tool as it may concern digital asset trading even though you've someone to guide you offline but I believe learning online can still be possible for beginners to attained professional heights, it all depends on the individuals capacity and what format could be convenient in the learning. You've only shown concerns about Op so that he doesn't get mislead with lot of the claimed online as professional trader's but getting through they're not as learned as claimed. So in regards to your honest advice, the technicalities about learning bitcoin trading that'd be acknowledged sufficient be a professional trader isn't just a stone throw, lot of disciplines, dedications and overall ability to learning technicalities must be obtained While having someone who can practically teach you with privileges to ask questions and getting direct answers will be better enough if and only you get a genuine and truly experienced trader to teach you. However, don't feel discouraged Op, lot of resourceful informations has been made available for you by other members, I hope you put efforts in reading them. You can also own a demo account for practices instead of risking your funds as a beginner on the learning process.

Today is FOMC, as we all know, and it's either the market makes people happy or cry at this point because bulls step in yesterday pushing BTC price above 117k and we could go higher if things go well but red folder news days like this, price usually get to a premium zone to get traders confused on what to do, are we going to see new highs today or new low.
FOMC has been a key factor to cause traders overwhelming on what direction they should go as the market may have triggered optimisms. Op to be corrected, the bull run which is usually market up trend events that occurs in the every 4 years as a spark after halving has long been over headed which reactions has actualized several Aths. But I think you're referring to the correction phase of the market that has been within the price consolidation causing traders skepticism. However, the market has indeed been struggling since the while it dipped to the bottom with lot of resistance level on the price recovering. Few days ago was a breakout to $116,000 and currently is $117,000. Those are basic signals that we're going to ride on the full mode bulk run but I don't know an act time it'll take place. And as market may remain volatile, it can still possible fall below what we've now.

You might be correct to avoid cashing out your games is to predict what ever you wish to predict and then stake the amount you want and then go to bed, but come to think of it, do you think all gamblers will be willing to do this thing you said above? If you ask me I will say no, because not all gambling will be willing to predict there games and then go to bed just to avoid cashing out, they will want to watch the game play , even myself for a example when I ever I predict a game I always want to watch that game play, to see both team performance and also to entertain myself, because I see gambling as a game for fun and a game for entertainment.
Arguing about if some other bettors could set their minds off from tracking their games after placing bets might not really be the bone of contention here because it's not all bettors who'd have that time to keep every of their games of on the track neither bothered for cash out when games are still ongoing. Although it could encourage players experiences to advance. The match replays can also play the role too though. So you mustn't have to watch the match live on that course. I'm sure Op will never see the reality of the games coming until and end to the games but if he want to give it a try, he can bet next time and go to bed for the results to naturally show itself without being drived by his Psychological worries.

As Bitcoin's popularity increases, it's major importance, impact and adoption will be mostly felt in unstable economies.
I'll partially agree with you. The benefits of investinbitcoin to hedge your funds against inflations noting that the fiats values shrinks as economy levels acquires increasements. But you've to note that no economy is ever stable nomatter how developed the economy system maybe and that's why so many government's thought of diversifying their federal reserves on gold and bitcoin. Though the most effective impacts of bitcoin investment could mostly be visible on individual accountability since the bitcoin market doesn't control the conventions and the economy system.

Do everything you can to keep your own up and running, exploit if you can, impose rules to favor yourself if you can. Cause a war if that will favour you for it is all amongst the practice of international relations.
I'll literally give benefit of doubts that this wouldn't be misquote because with some sense of reasoning, the tastes and desperacies of gaining wealths and the likely "Do what you want" and the "Do what you can" if you must make money is what has made corruptions and other illegal monetary activities become so much admirable. We now sees politicians being celebrated while looted public funds with cabals causing dishonesty to the economy and also the destabilize peace in the eocieties all for self interest because they're unquestionable. We also have seen (heard) about technologies such as harmful softwares being developed by organizations or individuals just to steal people's funds. Note. All these aren't what's expected as to do in the society where survival has become so challenging amongst others who want to be notable or affords luxurious life's following economy wars.

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?
Don't get it wrong, there're still politicians who doesn't gamble who surely are ones laying the regulatory structures. The aim is to help the people of Filipino in other to reduce the effects of gambling within residence maybe if we can get this right, those politicians caught on the corruption with gambling shouldn't be an attractive point in this case. And to be honest, there's seriously disorderliness in the Philippines as a high rate of gamblers in the regions are suffering it outcome. So let's just pick the right content following the reasons of the development.

It has come to my notice the way some bitcoin enthusiasts preach bitcoin to people, trying to convince people that shows little or no interest in bitcoin affairs, people that doesn't care to know or have any dealings with bitcoin investment, save your self of that stress instead channel that time and energy in building, stacking and accumulating more of bitcoin to your self or portfolio, let's your success do the speaking for you.
Many people's always want to be pushed first before making move which is very bad and also a sign of weakness however, is it right trying convince someone into bitcoin investment? Is it really necessary doing the preaching instead of letting your success speak it loud.
That's one of the means that has deeply eaten eaten up some folks who thinks the bitcoin marketplace is like the conventional marketplaces with the essence of marketing strategies such as finding customers for patronages but it's okay to open discussions with them because that's also served as speculating and creating bitcoin awareness in the societies. A lot of people who're not privileged to hear or learn about it online can make resourceful informations out of it. But I don't think this will stop your investment journey as you think it could be disruptive. I'll only remind us that discussing about bitcoin in the public maybe okay but not to talk about your portfolio with them.

The cost of creating/buying an airgapped device is less than $100, which is much cheaper than purchasing an iPhone or any other locked-source device for absolute security. The memory-protection update is more likely to be associated with physical attacks, so I don't think it will significantly impact online attacks. The best solution is to learn how to properly manage airgapped devices while generating sufficiently random seeds.
My problem with this apple upgrades is why must they prioritize this obligations for crypto users? I'd had trusted this making if they were only said to upgrade their device capacities to enhance security and users privacies because there're sorts of online attacks which the apple users has also been vulnerable to loose their values and as well get rid of their documents to attackers. I haven't in anyway come across connectivity between mobile devices with the cryptography if not nothing than the other brand of mobile devices that only supports the vulnerable hot wallets. I'd either not be mislead because there's no tie between the two mechanisms. In as much as gadgets connected to the internet stand to be vulnerable to attackers and it's not advisable to hold funds in it. This isn't rather on the mentioned that the system upgrade will be safe for hodlers with large amount of coins. Timing just as we say it's not safe to hold phone in the exchange for long due to scam attacks is applicable to this sequence. I don't even know why someone could own large amount of cryptocurrencies, buys iphone worth of thousand dollars just to store their crypto assets while still connected to the internet band think it's safe and find it difficult to afford air-gap device specifically to enhance their funds safety.

I wonder whether Decentralized gambling is actually promoting freedom or letting decentralized casino owners and users commit fraud and money laundering, since most are unlicensed and do not follow regulations.
If we've to think this otherwise in the decentlized gambling due to the illegal activities being done by the users. then I must say that the blockchain will br implicated regarded that sort fingers has also been pointed towards bitcoin and cryptocurrencies being a hiding place for money laundering. I'm sure we've seen it all going in the news, media and how facilitating the governments has also been to trap victims under the cover of decentralized networks. So until a casino is found guilty or accomplice with the evil doing, I wouldn't judge wrongfully but I'm sure that some folk users of the platforms could possibly be hiding beneath without the consent of the gambling platform.

Many people run code that verifies all games so you don't need to check all of them manually which is a waste of time and a lot of work.
Which tool/website are you referring to? Is there a dedicated website that tracks how a game works? I can't remember if there's a tool like that. Last time I checked, some casinos offer the code to verify, while others buy a script from others, so we can assume the code is more or less the same. I don't think those 1000s games are unique to each other to begin with, at best they offer modification or different UI while the logic is similar to other similar games. CMIIW. I don't know which casino you use, so I can not recommend anything. But if you know how to code software you can make one that checks all games to make sure the result is legit and if it's not you can just report this to the casino or to the communities like bitcointalk so they give you a compensation or get blacklisted for cheating players If we doubt the casino's fairness reputations towards every single games from players, how guaranteed is the external tool to check this fairness status? I just keep asking because at the end of it'll the tools will propagate panics amongst casino's and users and it'll be improvable to be trusted since it's individually created tool that the casino didn't approve provable in their own platforms. So the tool can't be convinceable to prove it genuineness.

The big question is trust. Are these stablecoins fully backed by reserves as they claim? Regulators are paying attention, and how these concerns are handled will shape whether stablecoins remain a reliable tool in crypto.Do you trust stablecoins to stay stable long-term?
I don't think this topic belongs here. Just for your notice, stable coins are electronics or digital currencies of certain traditional region or currency that's being regulated in the exchange specifically a project to stabilize the volatilities of cryptocurrencies. Stable coins can be reliable to hold and avoid volatility but talking about it reliability in the blockchain network is what I can't guarantee because, possible changes from the regulatory policies can influence the it system of services.
