As someone who grew up with a family that owns a farm full of chickens for cockfighting, it is actually more than just luck-based.

A certain breed of chickens are required in order for them to participate in a fight. If a chicken wins in a match, his whole bloodline of chicks would be trained inside a simulated arena (without their blades, of course) to check their reflexes. I remember my grandfather and father hiring people to train these chickens to improve their flight reach and reflexes in the fight.

Of course, a normal viewer would see it as purely "luck-based" given the number of factors that can turn the tide of the battle. But you can eliminate those "luck-based" factors by training your chickens for the match.

Like what I reply to similar posts like these, you have to understand it from a perspective of a person who owns hundreds to thousands of cryptocurrencies at his disposal. This implies that the slightest movement of its price could mean a gain/loss of thousands of $$$ on his end. That is why, some people do fear the loss and somehow panic whenever there is a significant drop on the price of BTC.

Bearing this in mind, what could be a good strategy to prevent your cryptocurrencies from dropping its price further? Again, always have a contingency plan. Trade only up to a maximum percentage of a certain value and cash them out as quickly as possible if you see a profit. A 3-5% profit is always better than a 3-10% loss.

I think that the very nature of cryptocurrencies (they exist on the internet) make it a valuable target for scammers due to its immense price in the market. Even if famous exchanges have their security running, they are always a target of scams and malware from hackers.

Now that there are various data about the reputation of exchanges being hacked, the only way to protect yourself is to be proactive. Take all the necessary steps in order to safeguard your cryptocurrencies in your local wallet in an exchange. For example, instead of keeping your BTCs inside an exchange, transfer them into an external storage/wallet for extra layer of security.

I mean, if this is the only evidence that you can present to prove that Satoshi is Russian, then I think that you are lacking substantial evidence. Again, the fact that a certain board has more activity compared to other boards is not conclusive of anything, let alone implying that Satoshi might be Russian. Though some factors may still be considered, this fact alone cannot be conclusive to think that Satoshi is even Russian.

Like what previous discussions have mentioned, the pseudonym "Satoshi" can be a group of people or even an organization. No one really knows about his or their identity/identities since he/they clearly left without a trace.

I guess that the bottomline from this post is that, if there are any suspicious links that are being sent anonymously by some random newbie or stranger, avoid clicking it and putting any of your additional details. One of the purpose of this forum is have an extra layer of security when it comes to suspicious links, websites, and/or exchanges. You can literally post the name of a desired exchange/website and ask for feedback if it is genuine or not.

Again, any random and suspicious links being sent by strangers should be avoided at all cost. Like what I always mentioned to similar posts like this, prevention is always better than cure. Avoid putting yourself in a situation where the risk is significantly high.

I doubt that they will completely eliminate minors from participating into games with loot boxes, same as some minors who visit casino websites (and even porn websites lol). But the fact that there is an ongoing bill with their Senate, I guess that this will give some companies the initiative to be more stringent with their games.

Again, while this move will not completely eliminate minors from purchasing loot boxes, this will actually lessen them in doing so. I just hope that the bill comes into fruition and becomes a self-executory law. This kind of move is what most countries should implement and create as well for the safety and well-being of minors.

I think I have yet to see a gambling website that offers a bingo game in their platform. Maybe because of its nature being relatively long and tedious, people would get easily bored by it. I think that is also the reason on why majority of the players are old people, as they have the patience to sit and match the numbers on the screen to their paper.

I guess that also explains the history of Bingo. As exciting as it sounds (sarcasm), I do hope that some would revolutionize its way and introduce some improvements to make it enjoyable to all ages.

I think this applies to all kinds of investment- investing is more of an instrument in order to somehow reap your profits in a later date. Though this is circumstantial in a way that it differs per investment, investing into cryptocurrencies somehow "accelerates" such process.

Compared to any investment mechanism that is currently available, the volatility of BTC makes it as a perfect short or long-term investment depending on its price. Unlike stocks where you trade only on a specific time-frame within the day, trading in cryptocurrencies happens in a daily basis.

I definitely agree with you. The asking price of $1.5m is a little bit too much, though you are free to value your business OP but also consider other factors as well.

Like what this person just mentioned, there are gambling websites that only have a slight margin of profit annually. I doubt that someone would afford to purchase this gambling website as they will just create their own using this capital.

I guess you should at least post the name of the gambling website for people to check on it. Having to contact someone before you release other additional details can somehow be taxing on our part.

If I were to receive such opportunity, then I would definitely choose to become my own boss. Having to be an employee means you are somehow caged in an environment where you are mandated to follow all the rules in the workplace. You are also mandated to observe their work schedule in the company hours, which can mostly be a bane in your life.

Though there may be instances where being an employee can be frustrating, at least the flow of income is consistent and stable. But personally, I would rather work and earn like $600 of income per month than be an employee that earns $1,000 per month.

Yes you are right OP. Anything that a stranger sends to you with a suspicious link and asking for you to input your wallet details is definitely a scam. People should not be messaging you about registering in a certain suspicious link without any further details. If you truly want to double check if what they are offering is true, then better check this forum for feedback about the said link/website.

Like what I also experienced OP, getting scammed makes you more vigilant and careful. It teaches you on how to be resilient and cautious about all the links that are being sent. If you find yourself in a situation contemplating on whether a link is a scam or not, you already know the answer!

Well, if I were in charged of the head of economics of my country, I would gladly accept and integrate cryptocurrencies to our financials due to its immense potential of growth. Some countries have already started to accept BTC as a means of payment to some services/products in the country.

But if I were tasked to remove cryptocurrencies and prohibit its usage in the country, then implementing laws against its use will do the trick. Imposing a penal sentence would also strengthen the policy against it, thereby removing it entirely from its usage in the country.

I will never forget the first time I actually attempted gambling at a very young age.

As you know, my father side has a keen for cockfighting. They used to raise cockfighters in our farm primarily for cockfighting and they would attend tournaments into various arenas for a hefty sum of money. When I was around 13 years old, my father brought me to one of the arenas. Since there were two (2) chickens that will fight to the death, there were people specifically voting for a specific chicken (either A or B).

It was my birthday and my dad somehow convinced me to try and use the money that I received as an attempt to gamble. So before the fight started, I voted for chicken A. On the very first 5-10 seconds, my chicken was winning but suddenly, chicken B was able to slice through the stomach of my chicken, instantly killing him, and that's the story on how I lost my very first gambling game.

Definitely! Black Friday is one of those instances where I wait for offering even outside the realm of gambling. It is like, every shop sales less than the current SRP and some gambling establishments offer bonuses/rewards for a minimum top-up to their website. It is definitely recommended to take advantage of these deals especially if you are someone who gambles frequently in this space.

Again, let me remind everyone that these bonuses will work only if you have met the conditions stipulated on their TOS or rules. Also remember that if there are issues with payments, etc., always reach out to their customer service in this forum, if they have any!

Why not do the both thing at the same time? I think we have to clear a misconception here as I have noticed, some newbies also asked this question before.

Again, treat cryptocurrencies as a normal investment instrument. You are nowhere compelled to dump all of your lifesavings or funds into investing in this high-risk, high reward system. You can also always enjoy the rewards by also pursuing a different path. Remember that this is an investment- meaning, the proceeds that you will get is due to your diligence and responsibility as an investor to monitor its price.

Lastly, you can always focus on different ventures while maintaining an investment in this field. It doesn't have to be an absolute thing where you are compelled to focus only on one thing at a time.

It is not about that the government is scared of bitcoin, it is more of that it is something that they have no control over it. Satoshi envisioned a place where people would experience financial freedom- where every transaction is made public and unalterable. That is the reason on why the blockchain technology exist for this purpose.

Now that cryptocurrencies is one of the ways in achieving financial freedom, the government somehow wants to control the transactions under its wing. They see it more of a threat than an actual danger in any case since cryptocurrencies had been used for illegal purposes in the future.

Oh yes definitely! In fact, my grandfather used to have a farm dedicated in raising cockfighters as he used to participate in competitions in Araneta. Then, his fight would be televised on national television, along with other cockfighters as well. I remember in our farm, we also have this ring in the middle where these chickens would be put to the test and for training. The funny thing is, if my grandfather believes that if a chicken in his match won, then he has all the genes of a fighter. So, he would devote time raising the offspring of such.

When my grandfather passed away, my father took over of the farm and raised some chickens as well for this kind of fight. I used to accompany my dad in tournaments and the betting environment there is notorious and fierce! I will never forget those memories and this kind of gambling, while others argue may be cruel, as it has a special place in my heart.

Exclusive from the list that you provided, I would put Fortune Jack above anything else on that list. The edge that this gambling website has over its competitors is an active signature campaign that implies that they plan to move forward in the coming years. The fact that they can allocate such fund to a prestigious and luxury advertising speaks a lot about their profit on their end.

Another thing, Fortune Jack has been around for years now. They have established themselves as one of the most trusted crypto gambling website among its competitors. If you have any problem with your transactions, you can always reach out to this forum and ask their representatives.

Hoping for your consideration once again, shasan!

Nah, like what I previously mentioned, this is a scheme employed by OP in order to attract users into some shenanigans. Probably he would ask you to visit a certain link and input your wallet + private key, ultimately scamming you in the process.

Again, if there exists a method that wins you games 99.99% of the time, then why bother to create a thread and start a discussion where you could potentially be earning millions in this process? There is absolutely no way can a person win 99.99% of the time with some trickery or technique. It is just impossible to imagine and again if you have such power, then you wouldn't wasting any time telling or teaching this to people.
