That’s a grown man mindset, and a true risk taker. I agree with you, bro.
People are quick to judge and say a gambler is stupid for borrowing money to gamble, but it’s not always like that.

Yes, some borrow out of desperation, but there are also those who are responsible. They borrow money to boost their bankroll because they believe in their skill and treat it like an investment, at the end of the day, life is like a game and we all want to take our shot. And the ones who take smart risks often have a better chance of winning in life.

You should give it a try sometime, slots can actually be fun, especially with so many options from different providers. I’m a sports bettor too, but if I had to choose between roulette and slots, I’d go with slots. At the end of the day, both have a house edge anyway.

But since I’ve already hit x1000 multiple times, I feel like slots aren’t that hard to win on. And, it’s really entertaining when you land that big multiplier, it’s a different kind of thrill.


Tight budgeting with just 1% of weekly income? I don’t think I can afford to gamble anymore if that’s my limit.
I guess your income must be big enough for you to still enjoy the thrill of betting with only 1% of it.

I know this isn’t a new game, but I still think it’s one of the most popular slots out there. Aside from Gates of Olympus, which, to be honest, can get a bit boring sometimes since a bonus buy gives you 15 spins that can drag on, Sweet Bonanza feels faster and more exciting. You get 10 spins, and if you’re lucky, you can snag an extra 5. Just this past week of playing consistently, I’ve already hit x1000 three times, so I’m definitely up for now.

How about you, have you been lucky with this kind of game?

That was just sarcasm, bro, ( forgot to  )… I’ve been here early too, not super early but early enough to get what Satoshi was trying to tell us. Still, there’s always that doubt whether Satoshi is even alive, because even at today’s price, he hasn’t touched his coins. There were reports of big amounts of Bitcoin moving from the Satoshi-era wallets, but nothing really confirmed as his.

We’re all good, man, we share the same belief that Satoshi was the real deal, building something and backing it up with action, not just words.

I don’t think he’s happy, considering he hasn’t touched his Bitcoin in about 15 years. Reports say he holds around 1 million BTC, so why isn’t he spending any of it? Maybe he’s just waiting for the day he surpasses Warren Buffett, like some news outlets have speculated.

For me, if there was no gambling back then, I probably wouldn’t have spent my Bitcoin much, since there weren’t many other ways to spend it. maybe, you could buy some stuff or digital subscriptions, but you could do that with fiat too. Gambling was just the easiest option, no KYC, quick and simple.

Aside from gambling, the only thing worse was those so-called “investment games,” which were basically ponzi schemes. They were super popular back in the day, first in, first out if you wanted to make money. But in the end, they were still scams, and personally, I lost money in different investment schemes like that too.

They’re actually at -5.5 now, so the line already went up by a point. I’m not sure if it’ll keep moving, but it’s better to place a bet early than wait until game time. What if the line disappears later? We’ll just end up regretting it. Besides, it’s not as fun watching the game without having a bet on it.

I don’t buy that. Most gamblers I know are far from being bullied, we’re the risk-takers, the ones brave enough to put money on the line. If you’re getting pushed around, maybe you’re not really cut out for this game, because being a gambler is something to be proud of, as long as you’re a responsible one. And not everyone has the guts to take risks,  we risk money to make money, and if we lose, we accept it because that’s part of the game. So don’t stress, enjoy gambling, and be proud of what you do.

They don’t really need to convert it because they need that money just to survive day to day. With hyperinflation, people can’t even think about saving since what they earn gets spent right away, mostly on food and other basic needs. It’s like they’re trapped, just working to get by with nothing left to put into Bitcoin.

when hyperinflation hits, prices for essentials skyrocket, salaries stay low, and unemployment is high. There’s barely enough to cover daily expenses, let alone save or invest. So for some, gambling becomes this last-ditch hope to multiply their money, but that’s risky because it only works if you win.

And really, how do you justify that? It goes against the basic rule of gambling: only bet what you can afford to lose.

I think this law is made more to protect the gambling industry, mainly the operators.

Here’s what I’m thinking: taxes are only on profit (wins – losses), but even for those who just break even, there’s still a 10% tax. That feels more like a penalty than a fair tax when you didn’t even make money. This could push professional gamblers to stop if they’re not consistently profitable because it just wouldn’t make sense to play under those conditions.

In the end, casinos benefit the most. They love losing players because the government won’t tax the casino directly on individual losses, but their overall revenue goes up. That means more tax collected from the casino side, making both the casino and the government winners in this setup. Meanwhile, professional gamblers might start looking at overseas gambling where it’s more favorable for them.

That can’t be denied, but as a citizen living in a corrupt country, I still hope it’s possible to turn things around. it’s hard, yes, but if we had the right leader with the courage and will to really change the system for the better, I believe it could happen.

A good example is Singapore, this country is used to be a corrupt too, but now it’s one of the most progressive nations in the world. we hope to reach that level someday. maybe if we had stronger anti-corruption measures, even something as harsh as the death penalty for big-time corruption, things would change. But since we’re a Catholic country, the church doesn’t support that kind of punishment.

With how potential and profitable it is these days, I have high hopes that bitcoin price will continue to surge high and reach a limitless amount. Bitcoin, despite of its high risk, is also capable to make it into a life-changing price one of these days, so the best thing we can do is to stick with it and maximize the amount of our investment, so that when all our sleepless nights will paid off, each of us will enjoy huge amount of profits, which is everyone’s dream why we chose bitcoin over other physical assets.

Giving up does not actually mean you are totally at loss, but it’s protecting yourself against future losses that you have no control of. My point here, know when to continue trading and when to stop and leave trading. There’s no point moving forward if you know in yourself you have suffered a lot of losses, while there are only few chances that you’re in profits.

Sometimes, the best solution is to give up, while you start exploring another opportunity that could possibly give you massive earnings that you had never realized when you chose to stay in trading.

Institutional adoption only came in much later, once regulations started shaping the market. In the early days, it was just a few whales holding Bitcoin.

And even now, when they say institutions have “adopted” Bitcoin, most of the time, what they really mean is they’re buying and holding it long-term, just like what MicroStrategy is doing. That’s not true adoption in my view. Real adoption is when Bitcoin gets used in daily transactions, treated as an actual currency, not just another investment to park money in.

asking for extension.

I can agree with you on that, I voted for him too, and honestly, I regret it. the way he talks now, it feels like he doesn’t have the willpower to actually push for change. He’s very different from the previous president, who even ended up in The Hague because he was serious about fighting illegal drugs and stopping the country from becoming a narco state.

Looking at what’s happening now, corruption feels deeply rooted in our system. From the top officials down to the lowest positions, it’s like everyone is just looking for ways to take advantage and steal our taxes. sure, there are still some good people in the government, but they’re heavily outnumbered. Eventually, even the good ones risk getting dragged into the same corrupt system.

That could definitely happen because we’re talking about a huge amount of money here, a small fortune for most people. I’m sure the casino owner wasn’t exactly thrilled to pay out that win, but it’s necessary since the player got lucky. Paying it out also makes others believe that it’s possible to win on slot machines, even though we all know the odds are very slim since it’s purely a game of luck.

Stories like this are nice to share. It’s good to know there are still honest people out there, even when that kind of money could easily be stolen if someone on the inside really wanted to.

Exactly. Bitcoin is just a single currency, while banks can offer different centralized currencies if you ask for it. So there’s no way that bitcoin will replace the position of banks, as banks have been here already before bitcoin has come to its existence. And the fact that it’s strongly backed up by the government, the more that bitcoin cannot eliminate banks.

Bitcoin and banks offer different services to the people, so they need to co-exist with one another, and not that bitcoin will eventually replace the local banks because that’s actually very impossible to happen.

This only proves that whether you share your wealth online or offline, it won’t make you safe at all. The people around will always have something to say, and some attacks unfortunately are already planned without your knowing, thus leaving you and your completely family in danger. So I won’t suggest flaunting your cryptos or fiat achievements, regardless of your personal reasons, this is actually against your personal well-being and safety. 

It doesn’t really solve gambling addiction because it’s not minors who are mostly addicted, it’s poor people who think gambling can change their lives for the better. As long as that gambling app is visible in the payment platform, gamblers will still find it easy to access, just take a selfie and they’re in. what they’re doing feels more like a band-aid solution, not a real fix. But well, it’s the Philippines, we all know how things work here, one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
