1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How are your meme bags doing? on: May 29, 2024, 09:50:09 PM
I do not have a lot of meme coins.

Only have a few and they are not performing well. I guess I was too late on the party and the volume have dropped a lot and this coin is likely won't be the same when it's still hype.

I've bought it when the hype's gone and thought that some movement will happen on it based on how I think it will be. Maybe not for now, I'm fine and I invested an amount which is not a lot.

I cannot understand the result of your research. Maybe my comprehension is very low because IMO, there's no difference whether you gamble locally or online.

The physical appearance as you gamble isn't just really for fun. While it's fun because you get to interact with people but I don't think most people go there just to have fun.

If I want to have fun, I'd go somewhere else that's not that loud although with some sounds that I can enjoy compared going there.

So either you gamble online or land based as you say, the majority of us are aiming to get some profits.
3  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can anti gamblers accept cash from gamblers when they're in dire financial needs on: May 29, 2024, 03:38:31 PM
IMO, this quote "for every rule, there is an exception" can be applied for some situations that we may deal with.

There is no law about gamblers donating money to the people that are in need of immediate help. I think in religious laws, they won't accept it but again, there's always the contemplation about the situation.

So, if there's no law about such, you're free to accept it and just be grateful that you're chosen and decided to receive that in-kind.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you prefer getting a loan for a startup or getting an investor? on: May 29, 2024, 02:18:09 PM
If you have a well thought out business idea but don't have the needed capital to keep it functional, is getting a loan the best option or looking for interested investors?
This varies on that thought for my business idea. If I think that it is going to click and I am willing to give time and effort for it, I might sell some of my stuff just to fund its few months of experiment and operation.

And if it doesn't work, that's fine. No loans, no heartbreaks but lessons will be there.

Would trying to start up the business in your own little way the best option or can you consider bringing a third party into the business who will just serve as a partner that contributes just money?
I like to do it first on my own.

If I think that I can't take it anymore then that's the time that I'll have someone to back me up and help me with it.

With this incident, the government should pay attention that everyone who wants to gamble must really do it consciously and not while drunk because gambling while drunk will make a person lose control and have more freedom in spending money but will regret it in the end because the gambling has become very worrying. I am quite sad to see the stories of people who are addicted to gambling which is detrimental to themselves and their families Sad
Nah, it is not the government that should get reminded by how people spend their money carelessly in gambling. The government doesn't have a say with how these gambler's behavior towards gambling. Everyone is free to spend wherever they want and whatever they want to do with it.

With such, the gamblers are the ones that needed to be reminded because if they won't see and hear this kind of incident. They are going to do the same mistake just as how this businessman turned gambler lost everything that he has built for 3 years.

It's painful but I guess that if that guy will be out of gambling completely, he'd be able to get back on his feet in no time.

I just hope that it is for the actual distribution of the people that have been affected by this debacle. It's long overdue for this decision but doing this on a potential bull run will certainly give a lot of hearsays and rumors about the potential dumping.

I am sure that whoever receives it, for example the victims, they'd definitely going to dump that for sure as it's been so long since their money should be on their hands.

It's still a developing story but we get this a lot whenever huge amounts are transferred from point a to point b.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How did/do you handled a gambling addict story. on: May 28, 2024, 08:43:02 PM
None so far but to those that are experiencing addiction and want to get out, keep on seeking help and keep on trying methods that might work for you.

If the first methods that you have been tipped off and you try it but it's not working, keep trying and do some more of it and maybe there's going to be more effective.

So, if you're willingful to get out of addiction. You're also willing to test every method that has been told to you but still, it is you that will handle and help yourself out of it.

A little crazy that Anthony Edwards still thinks that Minnesota is going to win while they’re on the verge of being swept, but I like the confidence.
Well, that's the spirit.

Hopefully they can win at least one game to avoid embarrassment, but at this point I think we’re all ready to call the Finals between Dallas and Boston. Should be a good series.
This is most likely the finals will be. There is no debate with it and if the Minnesota Timberwolves will be able to get some wins, it might just be 1 and a max of 2 wins.

But then after that, they've just prolonged the series and then will still defeated. No one gets back from that deficit in either west or east conference.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will altcoins ever cheap again? on: May 28, 2024, 11:13:43 AM
I did bought overpriced altcoins and I don't want that to happen again. But even if I buy overprice altcoins if what comes next is a pump of it, that's not a problem anymore.

All it gotta take is for us to profit. And the price of the bought altcoin will be forgotten because you just made a profit out of it.

And I am sure that most of the altcoins are going to be cheaper soon but when? maybe on the bear market or when their hype is done.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Creating alt coin or what solution can i find on: May 27, 2024, 07:19:52 PM
If your website generates money, please don't make any altcoin anymore. You can rely on the established ones and have your visitors get that share.

Otherwise, stick to fiat or USD or any local currency that your visitors or users may want to receive upon getting their share of the website's revenue.

We've got a lot of altcoins already and if your website is profitable and the service that is in it, there is no need to make a new economy for that because at the end of it, your token is likely gonna die as well like the others.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never borrow money to be able to gamble on: May 27, 2024, 05:46:32 PM
There are people that has borrowed money to gamble and they made it back with lots of profits. We don't have to choose such an idea because we might not know the particular game the person gamble on to make huge profits from a borrowed money. Also we might not know what strategy was used and whether the gambler was just lucky to make profits or not. We need to be wise and always think when we make decisions for a better rewards. We don't need to follow the crowd but have to show working and result nmnit copying another persons results especially when embracing it to make such kind of money.
There is no need to know about the information on how those gambler's that were able to successfully win with borrowed money and what strategies they've used. I don't want to know even more about it because I'll never do that.

And people shouldn't hear that because they will have an idea that if it did happened to the other gamblers then it might happen to them as well.

That's the logic that I am thinking and that is why I am saying this.

A gambler that borrows for gambling is an outrageous thing.

And it's more than that if a gambler tries to take people's loan for their gambling sake. So, a gambler borrowing someone's borrowed money is totally out of this world.

I know that it sounds odd and unlikely but this truly happens in real life. I remember my childhood when some of my neighbors did this and I just come to realize how crazy it is.

Of course, because borrowing money to gamble is a mistake and this is actually beyond the limits of good steps and behavior in carrying out gambling. Indeed, this sounds very strange and unreasonable, but the facts on the ground are that this often happens and is done to gamblers who are addicted because their bad behavior triggers them to gamble as much as possible, even in extreme ways and beyond good common sense.
While I have seen people borrow money to pay their other debts. This time, if someone does this, borrowing someone's borrowed money, I think that he has to hide somewhere and let himself don't show to that person anymore.

That's shameful and you're only showing how addicted you are in gambling.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 27, 2024, 03:50:05 PM
They swept the Suns and beat the defending champions in Game 7, only to be swept by the Mavs in the Western Conference Finals? The Wolves have waited two decades to get where they are, to have a chance at the NBA Finals, only to choke? Their inconsistency on offense can't match Luka's and Kyrie's. They don't have an answer for them. Lots of field goal attempts but low percentage. I expected too much from them. LOL.
So true.

On how the Timberwolves defeated the Nuggets made everybody thought that this is going to be an easy way for them. They even became a favorite of the crowd for this finals but a choke is a choke and it's very visible.

KAT is now being blamed the fans on the web. I was also expecting a lot from them but then, it is what it is and Dallas is just showing who's better.

ANT is still young, at age 22 we can't be too confident that his team will become the NBA champion, that's too much to expect from an inexperience like him. Maybe in the next season he'll have a shot in the NBA finals, but with an experienced Dallas team, it was proven that Wolves are not yet a championship team.

It's safe to say that the series is already over, might not be 4-0 but for sure there will be no game 7 in this series. Luka and Irving is just unstoppable,  if these two continue to produce an MVP numbers, Wolves won't stand a chance, so I might think a sweep is coming so I won't be suprise.
I can see the young Luka on him. Full of enthusiasm and very talented but as you've said, he's still young and there's more for him to learn in the long run.

But with the guidance of his teammates, KAT and Gobert. I think that he's got enough guide but what's not enough is their firepower to beat Dallas.

Well, who knows if the long history of no one is able to do a comeback straight wins might happen to them aside from Cavs with Lebron before.

14  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What’s with all these Ponzi type APR on Stablecoins? on: May 27, 2024, 11:31:36 AM
Yes you guys are right. The APR rewards is not in the stablecoin but it’s paid in the native token. So for ZK finance you are paid in ZF. Looking at the chart of ZF it’s declining but not that much.

So I guess it makes sense. They pay these huge APR but issue it in their native Token and hope most people don’t sell the token and use it instead.

Ok makes sense. I assumed it was some scam going around.

Thanks for the replies.
That's right.
 
While the depositors are using stable coins that are liquid, I guess these deposits that these platforms they are in have fixed period and not flexible terms.

It's the same as lending them but they're going to pay the depositors money out of thin air which is the token that they produce.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Religion. Beliefs or Choices? on: May 26, 2024, 11:51:03 PM
I am from a religion that says gambling is bad, but does not expressly prohibit it. Therefore, we can still express our freewill when it comes to these activities. I chose to gamble because I know for a fact that I will not be someone who's going to be addicted to it knowing that i use it to kill time and not to get some money off it.
I think everyone is on the same page.

We have our religion and beliefs but at the same time, they're not strict with such so it's only a few that really follows the laws of their beliefs.

But then, we're all having free will and we know what we should do and as long we don't get addicted, all of us agrees that it's totally fine even if you are part of any religion.

If I were bound by the teachings of religion, I would certainly not gamble. Then again, it is only discouraged but not prohibited so I'd do it without any hesitations.
Me either, so it's still about how firm our belief will be but at the end of the day, we might just do the same of stopping.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you feel that the global economy is declining? on: May 26, 2024, 10:26:48 PM
I don’t believe that an employee’s salary may decrease but it’s more on the rate will increase especially if you are doing excellent in your job title. Maybe you are trying to say that his salary now is likely struggling to cover all the bills and expenses due to rising prices of goods and services which I think is understandable due to rising inflation. Well, your friend is not alone, as I bet everyone here has experienced that. Having a side job is the key so that if your main job salary is not enough, you still have another job that you’ll expect to pay you.
That's what he trying to say. The value of the salary now has gotten lower and the only way to deal with the rising cost of prices of bills and food expenses is to have an increase salary and at the same time, having another source of income.

But if you're not believing about salary decreasing, this can happen for someone who's in a bad position where their department is going to get dissolved and the company no longer need that employee.

However, as to keep that employee, they can offer other positions but with lower salary so, it's possible.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never borrow money to be able to gamble on: May 26, 2024, 09:30:48 PM
They will have to swallow the hardest pill because soon they will come to realize that no man is an island, and they need someone's help.

With that, they will humble themselves to the friends that haven't tolerated them but instead given an advice on how they should deal with their addiction.

And saying that taking a loan for gambling is never been a good thing and it only going to cause more problems to their personal lives.

Yes, for gamblers who are greedy and addicted, their lives will definitely suffer because of the consequences of their wrong thinking patterns and behavior, and they immediately regret it and realize it when it is too late, namely that their lives often have problems continuously and they are unable to solve these problems quickly. Only then did he try to ask other people for help to ease the burden of problems in his life.
But will the other person want to help him because previously he was just ignored? obviously this is not possible.
It is clear that borrowing other people's loans is not recommended for gamblers and this should be avoided as much as possible by gamblers.
A gambler that borrows for gambling is an outrageous thing.

And it's more than that if a gambler tries to take people's loan for their gambling sake. So, a gambler borrowing someone's borrowed money is totally out of this world.

18  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: May 26, 2024, 08:11:31 PM
Like freelancing business? It's possible to sell goods or products that you are not really the rightful owners but you are just advertising with your referral link but if someone buys the product you will get paid for it. That's a business one can start without capital.
Yes, that's the kind of business that doesn't need any capital. You sell the product of others and this can be done through dropshipping too.

Also, about advertising. If you don't like to get into sales then learn how to advertise products on different platforms. There are jobs that are requiring someone's expertise through it.

So, if you're a skilled guy in marketing and ads campaigns even if it's a kind of job. You can treat it as a business without capital too. You sell your service as a business.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: May 26, 2024, 06:18:25 PM
An addicted gambler that goes to that point is on a severe type of addiction. When he can no longer take care of his famly or his welfare is because harmed and affected by it.

That gambler is in total out of control and even him can't stop himself forgetting the important matters and affairs outside gambling.

And that becomes a domino impact, from relationship, to finance, to job, etc.

The addictive gambler focuses only on gambling and to gather money for gambling therefore they cannot concentrate on the issues of their family. They cannot think like a normal individual because their thoughts are limited only to play gambling and discover the ways that can help them in winning.

Gambler cannot control his emotions and also has no control to stop gambling because they think that if they stop their gambling then they will be useless as they will not earn anything. But I think the people are losing more money in gambling so if they stop gambling then they will find that their financial status is getting better.
It's not that easy to say.

Those gamblers that can't stop themselves doesn't really think only about not earning but the majority are for chasing losses. And it is no guarantee that if they stop, their financial status will be better.

It still varies on how they're going to deal with their personal life after they come out of addiction. And that's just the first step in making their lives better financially.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: May 25, 2024, 01:17:00 PM
Most gamblers first gamble for fun. When a gambler gambles for fun, sometimes they become so addicted that they can't get out of gambling when they have the will.
It all starts with a first try and having fun and then followed by "maybe I'll win this time" and then will be developed to serious gambling to addiction.

A gambling addict becomes so true to gambling that it destroys people's lives many times it is seen that they cannot take care of their family properly because of this gambling their family members are very upset with them. Once they win half of the gambling they think that we will get the second half if we win but when they get any money they go back to the bar empty handed almost penniless. Confident in gambling is good but overconfident gambling brings ruin.
An addicted gambler that goes to that point is on a severe type of addiction. When he can no longer take care of his famly or his welfare is because harmed and affected by it.
