201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you willing to bet $50 spin for a chance to win $42 million? on: January 06, 2024, 06:54:28 PM
Why it must be $50?
Ask the bettor haha he must be a well-off gambler who spins for $50. For me $50 is too much for a spin, I'm max at $1 per spin on any slot machine, $1 could hit the jackpot and would worth millions on my currency  Grin

If you can bet $0.01 and has a chance to win $84K (if we calculate using the same ratio), I don't think $84K is small for most people including the first world country. The amount to spin isn't the problem, the real problem is luck since most people don't have it or not yet happen.
Well that bettor must be on his luckiest day, $42 million is worth a billion on my country's currency, that means he is on top 500 on richest man in my country. We all have a luck, but we also need to consider timing, if you notice it on simple things then try to bigger ones, you might find it very obvious in a day. I'd take that $0.01 spin for a chance to win $84K, who would know I can get a lamborghini tomorrow just by sitting and clicking some buttons in an online casino? That would be the wildest dream of mine Smiley)
202  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone can succeed as a bitcoin trader on: January 06, 2024, 05:38:00 PM
Some may succeed and some may not and that is the reality because not everyone can be a winner here or else the market will not move that much.
All traders should know that we are just exchanging money in the market, if one losses the other wins it, basically not all of us can win it, but most of us can defeating whales, but that's another topic.

It takes time to be a good trader, the stress can consume you but the reward is huge once you are able to survive that early phase of being a trader.
It really is, being good at one thing is a process of continuous learning, it's not that there will be a time that you can call yourself a good trader, we can't measure this thing. As I said, it is a process not being of a good trader, but a better decision maker every time we realize a mistake.

also set your goal realistically so you won't be stress if you are not able to achieve it.
Stressful it is, but if you found yourself one day comfortably on your chair while trading, you'll smirk and realize the learning process is worth it.
203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 06, 2024, 04:43:17 PM
All of us know that if our relatives or friends get affected by our gambling habit then there must be something wrong with us. If the extension of consequences passes along up to your friends, then you should stop especially if they know nothing about on what you do. Personally, as much as possible, I don't want anyone know about my gambling habit, I want to keep to myself, and keep myself involve in what can happen doing such thing. I keep my losses and winnings, at the end of the day it is me who enjoyed gambling and entertained. One must know how to handle things responsibly, especially in gambling where almost anything can be infected by it.
204  Economy / Economics / Re: 4 COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MADE WITH THEIR FINANCES LAST YEAR THAT SHOULD BE AVOID on: January 05, 2024, 08:35:22 PM
This year I wanna focus on listing my expenses, this is the mistake that I don't want to  repeat this year. Most of us may overlook expenses on a daily basis and tracking it is one of the lesson I've learned, I am able to scrutinize my expenses and come up with new ideas on how can I optimize my daily budget. I'm guilty of how I spent my money last year, like I don't see ordering from online restaurant a luxury but once you do it often it becomes the price of a brand new phone in 2 months, so imagine all the unnecessary items or services you are getting are able to buy expensive stuff in theory.
205  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the high fee affecting the rate of adoption of Bitcoin? on: January 05, 2024, 07:38:33 PM
At this moment fees has come down than what it was earlier but yes higher transaction fees doesn't have a negative impact on Bitcoin adoption rate,
We don't have data to back this up but I'm pretty sure transaction fee is a factor on which people may or may not buy bitcoin thus increasing or decreasing the adoption rate, but I'd say it is a least of our problem in blockchain, we don't need everyone jump on the blockchain.

anyone who is going to use Bitcoin for it's services like P2P transfer will be hesitant to pay high charges. This is not the case throughout the year but still it's not a good sign when the charges cannot be justified for smaller transactions.
Heck yeah, I transacted last month and the fee is high, I just look away and hit the button. lol.

Those who out there advising not to make small transfer don't understand the concept of Bitcoin and yeah we can avoid such transfers for a while until the transfer fee comes back to normal but that's not the permanent solve.
Adopting bitcoin means adopting it is consequences, unlike banks that have a fixed transaction charges, bitcoin doesn't have it. We once saw a transaction that cost millions trying to transfer such insignificant amount, a heartbreaking story, the sender must have not seen it. I guess, seasons have changed a lot, you can't just buy and sell whenever you want it.
206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: January 05, 2024, 06:38:56 PM
Because they want to feel that big experience again, they don't realized how much money they are losing now.
We have enough with the experiences and it's time to spend money wisely. When you are not winning anymore, stop for the day.
Some gamblers just don't have the acceptance on a day that they lose. I can argue with it, I experienced the same feeling of losing in the beginning of the day and you'll just start drifting in a losing streak on thinking that the tables would turn on your side, not realizing how big the table is.

You don't have to prove anything with what you have because that's just going to cost you a lot of mone when you are going that far.
Acceptance that it is not working on you will make you stop.
But rarely, or almost not, I can manage to bounce back or break even at the end of the day. However, that doesn't mean that I got lucky, continuous playing would consume so much time to anyone whether you are playing on casino or online casino, I realized how much time I have lost trying to get a small win or break even after a day of losing. It is  not worth of your time, learn to accept defeat and look away to spend your time and money wisely.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 04, 2024, 07:59:50 PM

I've learned this late in life that bothering about what people think of you or what you do is just a pain in the ass and an absolute waste of time. That is, unless, you were specifically aiming for their recognition/acceptance or something in the first place. Which, btw, should not be a regular thing to expect from anyone on the street, unless you're a politician in which case you do indeed need literally everyone on the street's recognition.
You can only be bothered if you are doing something wrong or if they get affected by what you are doing. Personally, there is a few people in my life that comment on my gambling activity but I don't give a sshh on them, yeah a total waste of time if you try to argue with them and I only think that it is not wrong to gamble if you do it for yourself and is trying to escape temporarily from reality, in short entertaining yourself!

Now in cases where you do need their recognition or something similar, then that's when you start thinking about how to explain, how to reach a consensus, or just a middleground for the both of you. There's usually one in most cases, especially if you're both important to each other. In OPs case I reckon it's just blind knowledge of gamblers (which is what media portrays it to be, so I can't exactly deny that it's true, but not the entirety) but I reckon a simple explanation and a simple look at OP himself can explain how it's a big generalization.
I think there is no point to argue or explain to anyone, don't owe it to them, we have different path in life, different hobby, different decisions, and all they need is to leave you alone and think about their own business.
208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The is always on gambling, never the individual. on: January 04, 2024, 07:17:31 PM
Some people be like " gambling ruined my life", "crypto ruined my life", or "real estate ruined my life" like it was not their decision to it. Gambling in general doesn't mean to ruin someone's life, that's the least I can say though we have heard a lot of stories from fellow gamblers, but they don't take it easy and responsibly, so at the end there's nothing or no one they can blame but their self. But somehow, I get the idea that they blame it to something else just to cope up with the fact that it's like never their mistake to do it, defense mechanism of people who refuses to reflect on themselves.

Just bet/stake to entertain, it is not so much to gamble, just don't wish a yacht with your $10 wagers.
209  Economy / Economics / Re: Pay discrimination on: January 04, 2024, 06:31:55 PM
I think everyone should be treated equally weather it's white collar jobs and blue collar or skilled labor.
All should be treated equally and with respect. But in terms of wages for labor, there's this thing called Salary grade or bracket which obviously white collar jobs are higher.

It doesn't matter. But the sad truth is it doesn't happen. People are treated differently based on their colors and race or jobs. No job is ever small. Those who thinks that being a waiter, a delivery workers, a cab drivers, carpenter, or construction worker is lowly jobs and don't deserves respects are fools. Our life is so comfortable because of them, because of their hardworking mindset.
Those who disrespect and only respect people out of their job is a total dumb. Your job doesn't reflect on who you really are, I know people with blue collar jobs be drinking all night, hopping bars night after night, and post shitty contents on social media and then there are people who is street-sweeper who return a cellphone to the owner after being left in a public place, provide for their family, and shows respect to others equally. We should be doing different things now, it's 2024 and this mindset is like a stuck old brainer.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health concern on: January 02, 2024, 06:42:16 PM
When you talked about heart attack I was thinking that it was a hert attack from loss but reading throug I discovered that it was winning heart attack
 It is better to have a wining heart attack than a loss heart attack, because the money you win can be used to treat you and give you a better life.
Man you don't get any better when you have a heart attack lol even if it is from winning a lottery or hitting jackpot in a casino. It's is more okay to win a decent amount of money while being healthy.

There is that big feeling when you have won something you have never dreamt of. Despite we always predict to win higher amount anf always see the figures in bet sleep or online ticket doesn't mean we ha e won it. Trust me if you win any of such you will never sleep or morover it will cause you sickness because you don't even know whT to do or say. Just become flabagasted and astonished
I once hit a jackpot before, yeah it feels so satisfying and unbelievable but that should end there because being at that state for a long time means you are not being yourself or not in a normal state so tendencies is that you are going to do things that you might be unaware of. This is a good question for the gamblers, since we only think of money and behaviour when we want to gamble and health is the least of our concern when we do. Let's be responsible enough to take care of ourselves before anything else.
211  Economy / Economics / Re: First time? A company suing because people aren't buying its products!!! on: January 02, 2024, 05:36:13 PM
Had no idea about this. To be fair, McDonald's Malaysia is suing the BDS Malaysia movement due to financial losses and job cuts which is why it makes sense as to why they are doing this.
Suing people over unsold products would inflict so much damage on their business. I had literally no idea on this, it is my first time seeing a company suing people who are boycotting their product which is part of their customer rights lol. It doesn't make sense at all, if their products or services are being left unsold, then they should know now that something is wrong with their company. People united are indeed more powerful than a company.

I do feel this is unnecessary though considering how rich and powerful they truly are overall.
Or they do want a free exposure on television so people would have second thoughts about them?
212  Economy / Economics / Re: How influential is crypto worldwide? on: January 02, 2024, 04:54:58 PM
Another thing to put into perspective is that many of those.conoanies are over sixty years old now and Bitcoin which is the oldest cryptocurrency is 14 years.
and those conventional investors are in the stock market because they do not want to feel less secure of their money. Imagine how much we grow over the 14 years of Bitcoin run that we come into perspective comparison with World's largest companies.

Comparing both industries with very different launch times does not give any accurate suggestions.
I agree, but somehow we can foresee how much room do we need to fill in with crypto market. It will take time to be as big as the stock market, and we can see it we are going there.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your New Year's resolution? on: January 02, 2024, 04:11:28 PM
I don't have a specific New Year's resolution on my gambling journey, but if I have one thing in mind it might be to be more disciplined when it comes to depositing funds in my casino account/betting sites. I realized that last year, I always run after my losses which sometimes I wasn't able to get back which turns into double losses, but most of the time I always break even when I do it. Another might be stay away with games on casino that I barely play, if I don't know the game then I won't play it.

There's no quitting in gambling, once you're in it is hard to quit. When someone told me that they New Year's resolution is to quit gambling, I know for a fact that's more than half of a lie.
214  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Master the Art of Crypto Trading with These 5 Simple Tips on: January 01, 2024, 09:52:51 PM
These things are fundamentals that every trader needs to know, but once you get to trading, say after a year you'll realize that you only need a few guides in trading. Personally I set this rules for me to follow every time I trade or planning to trade.

I have this 3 things on my note

1. Decide
2. Plan
3. Execute

Then I breakdown these things, make a broad illustration on how to get things done.

1. Decide - My first step is to decide. I'll check the market in general. If I'm skeptical, I won't touch the market ground. Know the trade strategy, Short or Long term.
2. Plan - Again, if I got skeptic after deciding and don't know how to plan the trade I want to make, I won't touch it. So planning is a bit long process for me, do a lot of reading and analysis and write  stuff on my note coz I got a short term memory so I have to lol. I'll start writing things out including the key words for my self.
3. Execute - Some people may think that this is a quick process, just execute the plan, hell nah. The execution involves yourself, where the discipline and your character is vital.
215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bitcoin stability important? on: January 01, 2024, 09:21:40 PM
I think promoting Bitcoin stability is partly a matter of avoiding the Alcoin crisis, major changes in cryptocurrency activity, high inflation and excessive volatility, and the Alcoin market. Volatility can increase uncertainty, hinder investment, hinder growth in Alcocent.
What is your opinion?
Seems like an AI generated post but I will answer this. Bitcoin will lose many users if Bitcoin gets stable.
Just imagine if bitcoin is stable, would anyone will be interested to it? just take Gold for example, being expensive and the price may go up or down, people would be buying it so it will become more expensive thus being a good investment for humanity.

People come to Bitcoin investment thinking that they can make a profit out of it by taking the advantage of its volatile nature. Whether it is trading or investing, profit comes from volatility. When that thing is out of the question, many people will show less interest in Bitcoin if it becomes stable.
Although bitcoin is made to become a currency, which I think if the price were steady, it will be a total flop being a cryptocurrency and banks will counter it easily having more secured and fiat backed up online currency. It wasn't made to become stable, decentralization offers volatility and is a door to endless opportunities, just see how the market evolved from the past few years because bitcoin grew and behave like an online gold.

216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Connecting to Public Wifi on: January 01, 2024, 08:38:44 PM
I visit the city here few weeks ago due to my personal medical appointment. I notice that they have public wifi because I’m only allowed to use my Tab as mobile device due to my eye condition.

I just thought playing a little bit gambling while waiting for my appointment but then I realized that online casino has a strict rules about IP sharing. I'm really skeptical to connect because I’m not sure whether someone connected on it that play on same online casino that I’m playing. I don’t want to risk being connected to someone randomly.

I want to get the opinion how casino deal with this kind of situation. If you caught up on this messed up situation, how can you possibly defend yourself to online casino operators?
I don't think it will have any effect. Because every time you log in using a different network & device you will definitely be asked for verification to ensure that it is really you who is logging in.
Unfortunately, casino operators doesn't authenticate who's playing your account, they just assume it's you if you can prove that you can unlock it so technically the verification process has its own hole in it. OP's concerned is if he is going to breach some casino's policy or terms IF someone already used the public wifi for the same casino site. But if I were to think at that time, I'll avoid it because there are games in casino that aren't allowed to play by 2 devices in a single IP address like Poker.

However, there are several online gambling sites that implement a sudden policy if you win the jackpot. Either cancel your winnings or freeze your account because it is considered suspicious activity.
But to avoid spying via public WiFi, it's better not to use it for gambling. Especially if it's your main account with a fairly large amount of capital.
Perhaps that's another problem for using a public wifi connection on some online casino, anything they could see malicious they are free to do what they want.
217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What course can one study in university that can build potential in bitcoin? on: January 01, 2024, 07:51:04 PM
AFAIK Bitcoin developers aren't get paid at all, anyone can make a contribution, but you won't earn any money, so how you can say it's a potential?
hmm I think what OPs trying to say is that, if there is one course in college that one can study what it is that they may get interested in bitcoin. So probably it is any course that is related to technology, software development and finance.

If you study about information system, computer science, etc you might become a blockchain developer, but you're high likely will work about altcoins instead of Bitcoin.
Yeah, this is what I thought the OP is concerned but after reading it carefully I understand what he means with his question. We can't study anything in the university to work on bitcoin or apply to bitcoin miners haha.

Taking economy or business degree mostly help you to understand about money management, it's really less or nothing to discuss about Bitcoin.
The most accurate course that one can study to understand bitcoin is finance generally because it is all about money.
218  Economy / Economics / Re: Wealthy people want profit without much of liabilities so you should follow them on: January 01, 2024, 07:28:16 PM
I don't think I need to follow the rich people; maybe the only thing I can adopt from the rich is the positive mindset they have. Maybe that's all.
It is important to know that we do have our own path in life, in business, personal, career, finance, love life and so in. So we don't need to follow anyone in life, but one thing I learned in finance is that successes can be duplicated, I'm not saying we need to replicate every billionaire's people steps that they took, but we should take a look at how they did the steps, simply the rules they follow and some words from them, in short their mindset while doing the work they have founded. However, it is not also wrong to follow people you admire (not literally) if they inspire you to do great things then so be it.

219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the perception of people about gamblers in your neighborhood? on: January 01, 2024, 06:22:57 PM
In the past, I recall, people thought of gamblers as irresponsible individuals. If a parent witnessed their son's friend gambling, they would counsel their son to break up with the friend to avoid instilling bad gambling habits in their sons.
This is the most common perception of normal people, or should I say non-gambler people about gamblers. They think us of as irresponsible, undisciplined, money wasters, and a lot of negative descriptions. Well, maybe, because there are a lot of productive thing to do instead of gambling but I guess the time has totally changes where gambling becomes a normal routine for most of people these days, and gambling doesn't mean playing on casino it's all in different forms.

These days, that view has completely changed, with our parents no longer believing that gambling is a negative thing for their above-18 children to engage in because they have heard stories of people who have earned millions from gambling with small-stake bets.
I got my gaming laptop out of crypto casino and yes it is from small bet, my mother know it and was proud of getting it. So yeah, it's been different now compare back then.
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The frustrations in loosing a huge bet when your winning was so assured. on: December 30, 2023, 09:25:43 PM
Sometimes our own overconfident becomes harmful to us.  Especially when it comes to gambling. We have to keep in mind that gambling depends entirely on luck and results can go either way at any time.  It has happened to me many times that I lost a huge amount of bets due to over confidence while playing blackjack
Being overconfident should have a basis, I am experiencing it, but without a basis of having confidence then it was nothing but just a pure wish. Gambling is about luck, yes I can agree with that, but sometimes probability and statistics says what could be on the next turn or next face of the die. Playing blackjack  is a game of instinct and luck, I would be over confident in that game if I already have high pairs on that game, the rest is just a pure luck results.
