Honestly, I don’t really like exhibition matches, but I sometimes make an exception if it’s an exciting fighter. This time though, I can’t, because I just can’t imagine how it would look - Mayweather, already retired and boring even in his pro fights, going into an exhibition against an old boxer. I mean, how can Tyson even catch him when Mayweather’s style is basically just running around the whole fight? Of course, Mayweather will probably win on points, we all know how good he is at that but it’s gonna be boring.

They probably think putting their bitcoin into an ETF is safer than holding it themselves. Can’t really blame them as institutions are good at managing risk. But I don’t think it has a huge impact on the market yet, since not everyone fully trusts ETFs. Still, it’s not surprising that over time these institutional investors will end up dominating the space.

It really depends on how you look at it. We can’t just generalize that it’s impossible, because there are professional gamblers out there who actually make a living from it -rare, but still possible.

That said, it’s not something I’d recommend in general. The reason gambling is mostly labeled as entertainment is because, at the end of the day, we can’t beat the casino. So if we treat it as entertainment and we lose, it’s easier to accept since at least we enjoyed ourselves in the process.

We haven’t reached that level yet since bitcoin is still not declared as legal currency, which is the basic requirement for it to be considered a proper unit of account. Because of its volatility, that’s not possible for now.

At this point, bitcoin mainly serves as a store of value, people hold it believing its price will increase in the future. Yes, it can be used as a medium of exchange, but adoption is still low compared to fiat. So for now, we’re stuck at this stage.

I bet you know already the answer since you are more experienced than him. The best thing you can do is to be frank on him and tell him that taking a loan will only increase the risk of losing. So you don’t want him to take a loan and make surprise losses in the long run, because that’s the reality with trading in a market where there is high volatility and uncertainty. No one gets assurance what will happen in the future, if those coins he’s been trading will drop all of a sudden, then how will he recover and be able to pay his loan when his trading career has gone and get vanish in the air.

I know skins can be bought, I have a kid who spends on them to upgrade his online character but I honestly had no idea they could be gambled. Now it makes sense: since skins have value, they can be traded, so it’s basically gambling in disguise. Instead of money, they just use skins. Pretty clever setup.

But when it comes to addiction, there’s really no difference compared to gambling with real money.
At the end of the day, skins can be converted to cash or traded, so the same risks apply.

Kung matalino sila, oo pwede, kasi hindi mo naman pwedeng i-freeze ang bitcoin mismo. Yung mga assets nila sa bangko o kumpanya pwedeng ma-freeze, pero kung nasa bitcoin na yan, madadala nila o maipapasa nila kanino man nila gustuhin. Marami naman talagang kasangkot dyan, sana lang lahat makulong para kahit papaano makabawi ang bansa natin sa pamamagitan ng pag-freeze ng mga ari-arian nila.

Isipin mo na lang, sindikato sa kongreso tapos sila pa yung nag-iimbestiga... halata na.

For someone to be convinced to lend their KYC to others, it’s safe to assume they’re getting some form of compensation. But ask yourself, will that reward ever be bigger than the risk? Of course not. The risk is huge, so if you’ve even been thinking about doing this, stop now and understand what you’re really getting into.

Identity Theft: Once you submit your personal info, and if that website ever gets hacked, your data is out there forever. It can be used for all kinds of online transactions, legal or illegal, and that can haunt you in the future.

Privacy Exposure: Many of us chose crypto because of privacy, but now KYC has become the norm. To keep playing, some people give in and submit. Even though casinos are required to keep it confidential, hacks and breaches happen. If that data gets stolen, you lose the privacy you came here for.

Legal Liability: This is the biggest risk. If your KYC ends up tied to something serious like money laundering or terrorism, authorities won’t hesitate to go after you. And since it’s your name on the account, you can’t simply deny it, you already submitted your documents.

Bottom line... these days you can’t just trust anyone who asks to “collaborate” with you on KYC matters. The payout isn’t worth the risk.

If banks really have a solid system to safeguard the bitcoins they’re holding, then I guess they can offer that service. As for the volatility, they could always set certain rules or policies for depositors. And we all know the banking industry, they’re heavily regulated, so with the right framework, it’s possible.

But honestly, I still wouldn’t trust banks with my bitcoin. When it comes to reserves though, if the government decides to build what they call “strategic reserves,” then they should also be prepared with proper measures to protect it. Hacks happen all the time, we’ve seen enough news to know that risk is real.

That said, in general, bitcoin will always make sense as a reserve asset since it naturally hedges against inflation.

Welcome to bitcointalk. Don’t jump into investment yet, but secure even the basic knowledge first so that you will be aware on the do’s and dont’s regarding bitcoin investment. And when you do, focus on your bitcoin investment, and follow DCA method as it will definitely lessen the risk when accumulating bitcoin especially that this coin is more expensive that altcoins.

Once you have made impressive profits, that’s the time you can consider diversifying through some potential altcoins. But always prioritize bitcoin accumulation more than altcoins, as they are just alternatives to bitcoin itself.

As long as there are hodlers that turn into sellers in the long run, there will always be available bitcoin to buy. However, the price will be more expensive because of its limited supply. But if you mean to say no real bitcoin that can be bought through exchanges, since everyone is hodling still, then we can expect that bitcoin movement will become stagnant temporarily, thus delaying the adoption of bitcoin globally.

You mean your bankroll should only be 1% of your weekly income, and that’s the maximum? Well, I guess you might be earning good money weekly, because 1% feels really small if your income is on the lower side, it might not even give you the thrill you’re looking for.

Like if my weekly income is only $100, then my gambling budget would be just $1. Honestly, I don’t think I’d enjoy gambling with that since it’s not even enough to play some games.

I just want to bring this up since almost everyone here has probably gone through it at some point. When you’re on a losing streak, especially after back-to-back bad beats, the temptation to chase and go bigger on the next bet is really strong. Some call it tilt, others just see it as frustration kicking in.

So my question is, how do you personally deal with tilt? Do you stop betting for the day, reduce your stakes, or maybe change sports altogether just to reset your mind? I’d like to hear how different bettors handle this, since losing streaks are really part of the grind no matter how good your strategy is.

Salamat sa pag-report kabayan. Base sa research ko, itong malware na ito ay sa Android lang talaga tumatama sa ngayon. So far, wala pa akong nakikitang report na may aktwal na nabiktima, yung tipong nakuha ang credentials nila o nanakawan ng crypto sa wallet. Kaya ingat talaga tayong mga Android users, kasi sobrang dami ng apps na may malware at madalas Android ang target.

Paki-update na lang kung may lumabas na kaso para may idea tayo sa totoong nangyayari.

I think OP wasn’t referring to IP address but to intellectual property games. honestly, I have no idea if these games are already in casinos or if they even could be, that’s why I’m curious .. I’d like to know which casinos are already offering them.

Personally, I’ve got a lot of favorite games I used to play when I was younger, before I even learned to gamble online. If those kinds of games are being adapted into casino formats, that’s pretty interesting and definitely worth knowing about.

If this is the mindset of everyone, hence overpopulation will be avoided. But unfortunately, those who have no stable source of income are definitely those who dare to have multiple kids when they can’t even send their kids to good schools and receive quality education. However, we have no control of others life’s decisions and perspectives, but as per my personal point of view, raising a child is good and it’s something that God wants us to do but at least we should also be responsible guardians and prepare their good future and meaningful life.

Once you invest, make sure to maximize your investment as much as possible. Invest for 10 years if you can, that way you can assure a highly profitable investment. Especially for bitcoin wherein the longer you hold, the higher its value becomes, so invest with a long term approach.

However, if you decide to sell at some valuable price, then sell a portion of your bitcoin, while you continue to hold the rest of your coins. At least you can also make use of your profits to buy more bitcoin at a much lower price.

It feels good to experience somehow using your hard-earned bitcoin to pay for the food you eat since we all get used to paying fiat in everything that we are buying. Although personally, I have no experience buying food with bitcoin but I still share the same feeling that you got to finally enjoy paying your favorite food out from your bitcoin that you have been spending so much patience in order to grow its value in your wallet.

It’s nice hearing this kind of story. Hopefully there’ll be restaurants also near in our place that will accept bitcoin so that I could also experience buying some great foods using my great source of investment.

Mr. Long Bomb, the funny guy… I’d love to see him in the PBA, but honestly don’t expect he’ll get real minutes. Maybe it’s all just for laughs because this guy doesn’t really have the skills of a true PBA player.

If the league just wants a clown to entertain, then sure, they’ll sign him. But since he already declined the invitation, that probably means he’s aiming for a bigger stage, maybe trying his luck overseas. 

Regrets are normal, and a lot have actually regretted why they haven’t maximize bitcoin accumulation way back then when bitcoin was still cheap and affordable. So your case is not far from this, you regret those times wishing you hadn’t give away your bitcoin, you could have owned impressive amount these days.

But you should still be thankful because you are given chances to correct your mistakes and finally make it up with bitcoin. Now you have all the opportunities to DCA with bitcoin, or buy a massive amount at the start of your investment. That’s up to you, but this time, treat bitcoin as your future retirement so you will continue boosting your faith and confidence on it.
