1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risks tied to using a single exchange on: Today at 03:35:46 AM
The question of maintaining accounts on more than one CEX comes when you are day trading, which firstly I dont recommend personally. Still then it is a difficult task to run accounts one more than one exchange for a person who has a busy day life. If you dont have that then you might be able to maintain not two but mutiple accounts.

I do agree that an exchange going off is a frustrating thing to happen and you would want to keep your trades running even then but do consider waiting it out if its less than 24hours.

Otherwise keep accounts on other exchages too and activate them when such mishaps happen.

Price of goods will keep rising and salaries usually remain same, so the common people are at a loss unable to save money. In such times keeping alternative means of investment,  bitcoin being one of them is a good option. It would not be a silver bullet to every problem but it can help maybe today or tomorrow.

Then cutting down on unnecessary costs is a big thing to do often repeated but seldom performed.

It is important to not lose hope but continue the grind, after all there is no proper solution from our side for this.

I dont think this would exist but if it was there I would not touch it.

Because one can do a lot of thing being alive than lose it on a gambling game. Even if someone's life is going bad and they become suicidal  still then they should think twice before playing such a devilish game.

I dont belive in things like second life, for me you have to make the current one count.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the four Es of gambling on: Today at 03:20:13 AM
People have different reasons for coming to gambling, some have it the right way and came with a positive mind that they want to gamble the same way others do in a responsible manner, which we can see from the categories of gamblers we have today, some have the same approach being right from time, while some don't and never trusted the process.
I think the number of people whp come into gambling with a positive mindset of being able to make money far overshadows the number of people who are playing for fun.

Hence there are more losses happening at the casino than the wins ans the casinos is making a good profit. If someone sees a method to make money without doing anything and dont understand the math behind it, they will lose money. In turn lose their self esteem and be able to escape for sometime too.

I do consider it shameful but thing is that every woman has a sensual part inside them running via their hormones which needs to kept under control by the help of their male partner, lack of which leads to exposure of that side of her.

They lack attention and the male counterpart wants to see that, so its a demand supply thing which these apps are monetizing on. Nothing we can do much about because it is like a natural law running.
6  Local / India / Re: bitcoin atm in india? is it possible..when? on: September 21, 2025, 06:40:29 AM
As far as I remember, there were some police problems with that Unocoin ATM in Bangaluru after which it was shut down.

But as far as using crypto in India is concerned, I found out that spending on exchanges to get INR is inferior to buying gift cards from sellers like Bitrefill and buying groceries and Phonepe cards from there to pay for stuff.

I am currently spending more through GC than my bank balance for daily goods.

You have to invest, save and be cunning enough to make money.

At least the first two are important even if the third is kept on hold.
Investing in different asset classes based on how much risk you can handle and save money from buying useless stuff, shit subscriptions when there are free alternatives is what we should all aim for.

Beyond that anything to make money takes skills and it can be dangerous too, suited for a rare breed of people.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: Fake it til you make it? on: September 21, 2025, 06:35:20 AM
I think faking might work for a while but eventually they will see through you.

Better to be honest and build a reputation first instead of becoming notorious as a liar. If someone is in a wealthy position than you, then just face them like a normal human being, be humble and smart, that person in front of you might not even have those qualities in them.

Often people are looking for genuine people to talk to and not fakers, so dont be one.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Enriching others in exchange for fun on: September 21, 2025, 06:32:03 AM
Oh im sure they have loads of bitcoin and this is the only gambling site I was heavily into when I just started out . I used to love those hi low games. I should really check my old account
FBC was a great site, was, because the site is having problems now, the owner has become AWOL and there are threads going on scam accusations for the site with withdrawal problems and a lot more.

I did win their 200$ faucet roll and hence it is very close to my heart, I hope the owners come back and set the site up properly again like a real casino without any of their "fun" token stuff which seem more of distractions rather than useful things.

Indeed the ones who made money from FBC, well they must have had high levels of luck at that time because the house edge on that site is huge.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it important to gamble even when you know your win are not guaranteed . on: September 21, 2025, 05:58:08 AM
I think those who gamble are to some extent have understood that consistent wins are not possible in gambling and hence they are going to stay in a denial about it - because if they accept the truth their ego gets hurt that they are wasting their money at nothing.

Hence learning the basic truth abut gambling before starting to gamble is of utmost importance. Know that the cumulative wins are going to be for the casinos and not the players.

Games like poker with friends are played for fun, nothing bad about that. But when money is involved, gamble with what you are ready to spend not more than that.

11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: are vices worsen now by social media? on: September 21, 2025, 05:45:52 AM
A lot of immature people access the internet today and they are dragged into these betting traps because they wash away their pocket funds and have to take money from their near and dear ones. The bad thing is that casinos will allows every person to bet as long they have the money to deposit and they never consider the money actually lost. Of course they are running a business and not moral police.

So it is our job to keep those who are prone to gambling to know the reality and not fall for these influencers.

But I still agree to the fact that those who want to gamble will gamble no matter what you teach them.
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Freedom Becoming More Expensive? on: September 20, 2025, 03:50:19 AM
Who doesn't love the idea of ​​freedom? Freedom is what everyone dreams of. In the current system, everything is getting more expensive, which hinders freedom. The unlimited money supply is one of the biggest factors. Monopolization of everything also creates problems, and this is why prices are rising every day, and greed and opportunism are skyrocketing due to high inflation. All of these impact and undermine people's freedom.
I think problems like these are the net effect of one country controlling one supply and most countries having its demand. Not every country is developed to that extent that it can generate its own resources.

But I dont see any solution to this right away. Its more of a long term goal to be able to get stuff done in your own country and not depend on others to create it and sell it for you.

Freedom is a bit of yes and no thing here. You can never actually be free, mentally or physically but its how you handle the situation.
13  Local / India / Re: 4 crore crypto romance scam on facebook on: September 19, 2025, 10:59:26 AM
Legalizing prostitution has its own problems, it is such an easy business to get into, almost every woman will lose their chastity and I dont think everyone would like that.

Also today so much of influencers are showing their stuff on social media, I doubt they dont run escort services in the background. They probably do and hence legalizing or not legalizing, it is already running.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: are vices worsen now by social media? on: September 19, 2025, 10:57:08 AM
Some people are easily influenced by social media and to avoid this one needs to be brought up in the correct environment where the parents themselves expose the social media scum in front of their kids and are proactive in pointing out their double faces instead of just calling it "bad for the kids"

Gambling and making money from gambling are common topics on social media influencers who are promoting the same. It is easy to do and it carries zero accountability and hence almost risk free. The affiliate marketing of gambling leads to only profit if done properly and hence should be identified and ignored carefully.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering casino bonus on: September 19, 2025, 10:48:05 AM
The objective is to get the player into the game again.

So that you will think - this is free money, let me hit 99x with it, and eventually you will lose - but you might be among those who few who things, because they got a bonus they are lucky and special and hence they should gamble some more and end up depositing some money from their pocket, only to lose it again.

This just restarts the cycle that we try to stop. Because the more you gamble the more you lose.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: The economy is about competition on: September 19, 2025, 03:21:55 AM
It is true that countries rely on the resources it has or it can generate. Natural resources are one thing. Human resources is another among which there is the highest demand. Also managing these resources to get the maximum price among the customer countries is another game which the government needs to take care of.

Hence competition will be there and the methods to overcome this competition are always honest but working.

There is nothing wrong in creating a fake demand and then selling products like that, it is how the system is and if your country makes profit of it.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not judge the book by its cover on: September 18, 2025, 03:25:54 AM
It is definitely not rich suits and rolex watches. Most bitcoin users I perceive are hidden in plain sight. Maybe your next door student or that geeky weeb who never received any attention from the neighbors or that random cool dude whom you meet everyday at the grocery store.

No proper bitcoin holder will attempt to show off their riches because they fear extortion and personal attacks.

But I guess bigger institutions want you to build such an image in your mind to be able to invest in their crap etfs.
18  Economy / Speculation / Re: Possibility of bitcoin pushing forward this year on: September 18, 2025, 03:21:40 AM
It is definitely possible and so it dropping back to 100k or 90k. Because this is the crypto market we are talking about and possibilities are endless. Both up and down movements are possible but I gues indicators are from our perspective always going upwards because we want them to.

We would all be profiting from higher prices and naturally that is what we desire. What actually is going to happen cannot be accurately predicted.

I guess we are mostly referring to Feds here, in which case it might dictate the price,  or maybe Trump, I am biased.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Basic rules in gambling on: September 18, 2025, 03:09:53 AM
This is key, long-term play makes us lose, in the game we must do it in Short Periods of time so as not to lose a lot of money and accept the Returns , so it is essential before playing to see how much money we can Spend and that's it , that is the right way for us to take care of our Finances.
If you want to enjoy gambling in the long term you have to be disciplined in your habit. Play responsibly with a limited budget and dont play more than you can afford to lose, keeping the hours of play limited.

In that manner it might seem painful and not fun, but it will keep the habit under restriction and not allow an addiction to develop.

Keeping the budget intact is like a basic rule in gambling. Dont over indulge, you will surely lose.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever lied to cover a gambling loss? on: September 18, 2025, 03:06:37 AM
Most of the gamblers, lied to the loved ones, who will accept the loss..! any how we should aware of the platforms and play responsibly.
A time comes you have to start being honest with yourself and your loved ones. It is the time when you accept the losses and prepare to control your habits. Gambling is a habit that gets people addicted without ever realizing it. This is why if you are honest from the start you can stop this addiction from ever happening.

Once they stop lying and attempt to make up their loss, if the loved ones are supporting they will surely recover.
