Nope- I have yet to dream about me visualizing myself playing in a physical casino. Maybe the reason is that the access to such physical casinos are somehow relatively easier on my part which gives the reason on why I do not fantasize about it.

Though this may be the case, I have dreamt various situations where I won my most wanted items/money while betting though this is not inside a casino. For example, there happened to be several times where I dreamt of winning my most wanted gun (CSGO) by opening crates. Though this may be gambling, it is not perse inside of a casino though I am playing/gambling in this scenario.

I think it is worthwhile to teach anyone about BTC but it is as important to NOT compel them.

The problem with most is that they tend to compel and force people to listen about something that is somehow technical. With this, people tend to lose their focus and they also tend to show no attention at all. Again, it is better to teach someone who is already interested in a subject; compared to someone who is not interested at all though they may show signs of being attentive.

Let us face it- cryptocurrencies and BTC is a complex process which will take some time in order for its foundation to be grasped. If people are showing signs of curiosity, then by all means teach them. But if you force them into something that they are not interested in the first place, then better avoid forcing them to learn it.

I think I posted this on the forums already but just to mention it again, there was an article that I have read that trading is by no means profitable especially if you are a beginner. According to an article that I have read before, the profits that you make as a beginner trader is at least more or less equal to the salary of a bank teller; and majority of these beginner traders fall-off on the first few months of their trading scheme.

Newbies, cryptocurrency investing/trading is not a quick-way to earn some money. If this were the case, then everyone would be rich by now. If you truly want to save and profit, then it is essential that you put effort into it just like any other investment instruments already present in the market.

To conclude, there is no such thing as "easy money" in all fields. Working hard and doing the smart things/moves may give you more opportunities to be profitable in the future.

Well, gambling discussions are one of the ways in which we interact with other people as we share our experiences in our day-to-day activities in this field. People also discuss all the possibilities of techniques and tips on how to at least take advantage of the luck given. Not to mention, the gambling board also includes various threads which discusses real-life event/sports news that may give a sense of entertainment to all.

If you feel like participating in a gambling-related signature campaign increases your gambling activity and you are try to lessen it, then feel free to do so. Though I do think that even if one participates in this kind of signature, its association and effect is somehow trivial and relatively small.

I guess this absolutely tells on what you prioritize on gambling- which is primarily for profit.

People who gamble are divided as to what their purpose/intentions are. Depending on their goals, a person may gamble primarily for profit; while others may gamble just to experience that gush of adrenaline while waiting for their results. Either way, the person gambles and regardless of the result, almost all fall into despair as the cycle continues.

Though this may be the case, I am actually glad that this boredom you experience is what causes you to stop gambling. While others struggle to find the reason to quit, you at least have this "push" that really compels you to stop gambling.

My advice to the boy would be to learn how to manage his funds correctly especially in this very crucial stage.

If ever he does win in gambling, he must use those funds and recycle them as his new capital in the event he decides to gamble again. In addition, if he needs to manage his finances when it comes to expenditures given that our initial reaction to a "loss" is to recover them quickly by gambling again. As long as he knows his limits, then he must faithfully adhere to his promise.

Gambling is a very difficult act to control due to its very nature. As someone who is as young as 18 years old, he needs guidance and direction in order to avoid all the pitfalls that majority of the people experienced.

Actually, there are lots of threads discussing on how to overcome gambling addiction which has been a problem ever since. The problem is, overcoming such kind of addiction needs determination and effort on the person who wants to cure it. Commitment is the key and no matter how many resources are available, if the person is not willing to change his/her acts, then nothing would happen.


I have witnessed my colleague who overcame addiction, though not gambling addiction perse.

It all starts with one's commitment towards attaining the goal of cleansing himself with this act. If they really put into effort the services available in treating gambling addiction, then it would be relatively easier for them to do it.

I think you can liken this to the phrase "money is not all about happiness."

To explain this, even if almost everything revolves around money, the satisfaction and happiness you gain from it somehow fades away. Sure, it can definitely make your life comfortable but if you are surrounded by people who just take advantage of what you have; and not because of their genuine feelings about you, you would feel this empty feeling of being surrounded by fake people. This is the reason on why some rich people, despite having everything, fall into depression.

By applying this with BTC, it is very similar given that the latter has a significant value that can be converted to cash. Sure, lots of BTCs can make your life comfortable but true happiness comes being able to receive satisfaction that is beyond money.

I would have actually consider adding BTC as my retirement savings but I would be missing a lot during its phases in the market.

Remember that BTC has this phase of experiencing forks, where the mined bitcoins are halved resulting to a massive increase of its price in the market. Not to mention, its volatility makes it a perfect investment for short/long-term depending on the price increase on the market. If I were to fully adopt BTC as my retirement savings, I would be making a commitment of not using/utilizing its potential for short-term gain.

While this may be the case, I would still consider it adding as a portion of my retirement savings for my heirs to benefit in the future should they wish to continue and use it.

Like what I previously mentioned, using AI in order to determine which odds are greater should be used as a supportive tool only.

AIs are created in order to be a supplement on what humans could achieve on their own. If you base purely your decisions on the predicted outcome of an AI, then you would run on the risk of losing at the end. At the end of the day, AIs can only do as much as gathering data and predicting outcomes but the ultimate decision still comes with you. There still remains a human aspect on outcomes and matches in sports-betting.

In conclusion, sure- AI can definitely help you decide on which team to choose but this should not be used primarily as your main and deciding tool for every game.

What are your thoughts on the recent matches on the FIDE World Chess Cup 2023?

I watched the game between Ivanchuk vs Magnus and Magnus won with a score of 2-0 against the legend himself.

During their first game, Magnus was able to grind down the game during the middle game leaving that e6 pawn too strong for Vasyl to hold. On their second game yesterday, Magnus, with the black pieces, managed to get a drawing position (which he believed that he could grind it for a win) which prompted Vasyl to resign.

Fabi was also able to win against Duda and the former mentioned in an interview that the lines he played was inspired from his preparation against Magnus since their match on the 2018 WCC.

Who do you think will win for this year's FIDE World Chess Cup 2023?

I think this is exactly the reason on why government prohibits the utilization of BTC in their jurisdiction. Since no laws have been created by their respective Congress in dealing with anything related with cryptocurrencies, this follows that if you want to venture in this practice, then you accept the risks that are associated with it.


I think that is a double-edged sword depending on the person they run into.

The difficult thing with cryptocurrencies is knowing which area has jurisdiction over the case in the event of a scam. If you deal with someone via p2p and they have scammed you, depending on where you are staying, then such is enforceable against them. In contrast, if they have dealt with someone who prohibits the utilization of cryptocurrencies, then they cannot enforce such action against them.

Well, everyone's dream is to experience the bull run despite a beginner or a veteran investor. In fact, that is indeed, the dream of investing in BTC- by experiencing gains that are far more superior compared to any other investment mechanism present in the market.

Personally as a newbie, you should only invest the amount you are willing to lose. By investing, you should have considered the risks associated with it. Regardless of whether you earn or lose your money, the fact that you have experienced this venture adds to your whole investment knowledge as a beginner.

Oh definitely- the demo mode has increased rates that will entice you to actually try the live one.

Just to give you an example, before, there was this CSGO website where you can try their demo version. You would spin a roulette and it would occasionally land on an expensive weapon like 5 out of 10 times. It was like 50% chance of winning based on my luck on the demo mode. When I actually tried the paid version, I risked $100 and lost everything in the process.

In conclusion, these demo modes that let you witness your "potential" winnings should you actually try it are somehow a scam. Rates are rigged and they are tools in order to convince you to actually try the real thing.

Nope- I do not think that BTC would be able to make obsolete fiat just simply because of its nature.

Remember that when the e-mail was invested, it was also the birth of the internet. People were lost and discovering the limitless potential of maximizing the use of internet until they have tried e-mail and realized that it was more efficient and faster to use it compared to the conventional mail via post office.

In bitcoin, I really do wonder on why people think that it will remove/replace fiat. Again, they can both co-exist with each other while exercising their nature. Bitcoin can be used together with fiat even if people think that their purpose is like oil plus water.

This is actually the right mindset- if a person wagers purely in expectancy of achieving bonuses, then most likely the whole experience may be a drag and costly at the same time. But if you leave it as it is and continue to gamble, then you would definitely notice that your account would reach the next tier of rewards/bonuses in the whole process.

I think this kind of perspective is mainly for the people who really like to take advantage of the bonuses/rewards being offered at a casino. If this is what you want to focus, then there are better ways for you to earn and receive such bonuses in different categories without undergoing this hassle.

I think you are gravely mistaken- investing in BTC for either short/long-term can yield excellent results given that you know what you are doing.

Again. let me just reiterate- investment is an activity where you have extra resources to be allocated in this venture for long-term results. The reason on why people invest in the first place is for their extra money to grow instead of just sitting at their safe doing nothing.

As this may be the case, investment is "an another activity" in conjunction with your main source of income. Sure, there may be people who have multiple investment instruments running that can support their livelihood but you must not use this solely as your main source of income.

For everyone who is reading this post, this should serve as a reminder to the reason on why we have forum rules placed in the first place. Rules are posted, even if you do not actually read them, for them to be followed. It serves as a constructive notice to all that once you violate any of those stipulated provisions, you are to be punished accordingly.


I do not think there is a way for you to remove them UNLESS you personally message the people who added them in the first place. Though in some cases, people remove them but in your case I doubt that you would be able to.

In fact, you just worsen your situation by acknowledging your mistake to others in which people would ultimately put more neutral trust to your account.

Hmm this is actually interesting- imagine if people were to purchase lottery tickets but the statistics show that the chances are still low. Well maybe if you can convince a group of people to spend such amount on betting lottery tickets, I guess there is that chance of winning but it may still be relatively low given the astronomically low chance of winning the lottery altogether.

I guess some may have tried this in the past and but they just considered that it is not worth it. Maybe statistically, they could have spent more than what they would have earned in the process if this were the case.
