I'm a old investor in axie infinity, I lost some money from not selling my assets and their ingame token SLP during their hype. But totally, My total run with axie infinity generate me profit. I still have about a 100 axies in my account left and disposing them is just a waste that's why I still keep them. I still believe in sky mavis team on improving their product and I still am a believer of them. Play 2 Earn madness is now gone but I believe that the Play 2 earn trend will repeat itself given that there are still outstanding triple a play to earn games that is still on development right now. I personally give sky mavis a chance by holding my assets because I believe that Axie will rise again along with the triple A games that I've seen.

I don't have that kind of casino but I have a bias casino for my favorite game. I don't win a lot but I love the experience on playing on that casino even I don't win every time. Maybe the luck you are considering might be the discipline you have when you are playing on that casino. Though lucky for you that you have find your luckiness on that casino but be careful because you might get over confident with your luck and that could possibly trigger the greed inside yourself.

I've heard the rumor that metamask will be doing an airdrop when they release their token, I've heard during the bull run where there are so many speculations on possible project airdrops and I've seen that metamask is the one that everybody is anticipating. I believe that it is not confirmed yet by any officials but many are believing that those who made swaps on metamask will be eligible for the airdrop. As a popular wallet, Everyone wants to be part of it's airdrop. Though we still can't say when will be they launching their own token.

Ofcourse, a popular retired fighter would be the target of those promotors because there are still fans willing to pay to watch them fight. Promoters are also spicing up these exhibition match by setting up unusual fights. The recent popular fight was Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva also it's results, I believe that it's unusual given that anderson has his own fame and there are rumors that it's rigged. At the first place, asking a legend to fight someone is a hard thing to do unless it comes with money. I hope that Manny Pacquiao won't do an exhibition fight with a youtuber, Though I'm pretty sure that Manny Pacquiao is receiving that kind of offers.

Well yes, The events are just repeating and the distrust keeps happening every market cycle and on the bear market specifically. There are a lot of FUDs, Bad news, and other type of negative things about crypto that makes the market collapse. We've been there a couple of times already and for me, I've expected this kind of scenario which bad events will come consecutively. Other people opinions are just a mediocore comments of people caught the bear market and lose some money. Comments like that are inevitable. All we can do now is to accumulate and do the right thing to prepare for the next bull market. 

Yup there's no such guarantee in gambling but it's more easier to gain more profits having a big bankroll. Imagine having a starting capital of $50k and 50k is a big profit for you, Doubling your capital would make you profit more or less $50k compared to the one who's capital is only $500. The gambler who has $500 need to make 10x on his profit which we can say takes more time and more luck to achieve that feat. The risk is not the same if you have the same goal of earning $50k given that the one who has $500 needs more time to achieve that.

Though, big win amounts is subjective depending on the gambler who you are asking but I believe that having a larger capital is an advantage if you are targeting a specific amount of profit or on what you can consider a big profit.

Yep the possibility of that scenario is highly probable. In the near future, People will demand more information from the exchanges knowing that there will be a certain distrust on exchanges given on what is happening currently and also in the future. Binance is one of the top exchanges right now and they are one of the first who volunteer to show their proof of reserves and I believe to likely to agree on an independent audit given that they have a reputation to hold on. Refusing to make a independent audit for them is a really bad move because it can instantly make speculations against them and it would be on their bad side. Sooner or later, I hope that proof of reserves will be standard and auditing it should be part of it.

Destruction? LOL that's a pretty heavy word for what's happening right now. We are on a cycle and everything is possible during bear market. Hacks, Bans, Bankruptcy and other things are just happening every cycle and I'm sure that there will be something new to make the price go down. Our assets is our own responsibility whether it's a bullish or bearish market. From my own perspective, I can see that theymos is only reminding us to use non-custodial wallets and just to avoid storing our coins into an online platform knowing that something like what currently happening recently might happen again and we just need to have precaution to that.

I agree to you, As long as you can control things you can usually control you are not considered as an addict. If you cannot control vices or these bad habits, It is potentially dangerous in different ways and these are mostly on the physical and psychological side damages. There are many factors why people are getting addicted and the most common reason are on the finance side and stress. People are doing these vices or bad habits to release the tension they have on their selves and surely they can overlook it as harmless on the early stages but after they unconsciously repeating it, it could become uncontrollable thing which make it dangerous and possibly diagnose them as an addict.

I've been a gambling addict before and I've tried various ways stop myself from not doing gambling and to be honest it's a very hard thing to do. Quitting suddenly is a very hard thing to do and I know that most who are addicted into gambling will just comeback and still gamble again, It's just full of lies. The method which works for me and I hope that someone too is by taking a break. I've started scheduling my gambling session and trying to resist playing until the day on my schedule and weeks by weeks, I've noticed that the urge of me not playing is lowering down until I've realized that I can gamble within my schedule without the urge of playing on my breaks. I did see that my control on things has been improved since then and I've recover from the addiction I have.

Telling yourself to stop instantly wouldn't be effective because of the urge around you and in the near future, I'm pretty sure that you will play again and do the same thing as If you didn't make a change at all. It is highly recommendable to do little breaks from time to time, It works for me and there is a high chance that it will work on you. It will take time but it will be worth it if you are willing to change.

This will be the time that they will realize that non-custodial wallet is important and the reason why many people are using it. It is expected that most newbies are using centralized wallet given the fact that centralized wallets are very easy to use and there's no hassle in buying and selling especially that there are so many features in it including those trading features. Though this incident should make them realize how prone it is for such hacks, funds locked and other common centralized problems. Actually I have friends who are only using custodial wallets and some of them are using exchange as their wallets, I just know this until they messaged me and I opened a topic about it when we are conversing. Of course my advise is given to them and I'm pretty sure they have their own non-custodial wallets now.

I've also seen some "influencers" saying to stay out of crypto.com as early as now as they have an intel about the solid proofs about crypto.com anomaly. I can't verify it myself knowing that I don't have the power to ask them about these proofs. Though it would be much safer to avoid them for now given that there are standing proofs about their anomaly and crypto.com is on hotseat right now. I'm pretty sure there are people who will be investigating them and they would be lucky if there's nothing to find out about them. They can easily go downfall if someone find out or leak their wrong doings just like what happened to FTX.

I don't know what is OneCoin but I know the popular bitconnect and I think it shouldn't be included in the list given that it is a scam or a ponzi at the first place. The ones on the list is financial institutions and exchange scandals that make crypto worst events. Bitconnect is just using crypto to gather funds for their ponzi scheme, It is just different. MT.Gox could be the cruelest one but some funds are recovered and the rest is just history compared to other events that happened where hackers still haven't get caught. Well, All off these events contributes and the could be the result of bear market.

Eto ba yung sa BDO before? na may hacking incident tapos nilalabas ng hacker yung mga pera sa binance and parang nagiging clean money yung pera after the p2p transaction. Satingin ko nag trending to last year ata during the bull market, I'm not sure pero yun yung guess ko.

Na freeze na din yung pera ko sa bank and ofcourse BDO yung bank. Galing crypto yung pera and even may proof ako ehhh pinapili lang ako if gusto ko lang daw ma froze yung pera ko or iwithdraw ko na at close account and kagaya ng karamihan close account yung ginawa ko. Even Unionbanks may naririnig din ako na nag ffreeze sila ng account pag galing crypto yung pera and earlier this year ko lang siguro narinig yun sa mga social media friends ko since sila yung victim. I hope Unionbank will hug crypto more kasi sila yung alam ko na pinaka crypto friendly according sa experience ko.

A casino doesn't need a ANN thread here to operate but it would be a big plus for them if they have a ANN Thread here. Just by posting your ANN thread here can be equivalent to free marketing. All of the casino that I play has an ANN thread here and It's much easier to pick where to play especially if the casino has a reputation here. Though I'm still playing on a certain casino that is long gone here in the forum, It means their ANN is inactive but their service is still running. It got my loyalty and I don't have any issue with them. I haven't seen a signature campaign that has no ANN thread. The casino ANN thread is usually included inside the signature of those participants.

I have the same case as you, I've heard from people that they are verifying thru skype which I think I can consider as a video verification. Haven't been on this video verification before in a gambling site. I guess casino has the right to have that kind of video verification cause it's harder to fake than selfie verification though it shouldn't be applied to ever of their customer. I guess that this could serve as their last verification to their suspicious customer. Applying it to everyone will surely a hassle not just on the casino but more on customer.

Of course binance will take advantage of the FTX collapse as other exchange would do. CZ knows the weakness of FTX and CZ of course utilize the happening on FTX flexing that they have this proof of reserve that other exchange do not. Obviously, People would go to binance since it is better and currently the top centralized exchange. Binance could possibly experience a big problem in the future and I hope that CZ knows what to do. We all don't want to lose exchanges one by one.

Since then, I haven't been able to sell my bitcoin into cash without having KYC on a part of it. The tools or platform are requiring KYC on my country for us to be able to use it properly. The platform that is use to sell is centralized and I'm usually using coins.ph for remittance or ATM cashout and Binance for p2p trading, These both requires KYC. And the one that is receiving the payment of the transaction which is cash is my e-wallets, bank account or remittance center. All of these requires KYC. There are other method that can be used like under the table transaction for p2p but I see it as much riskier and more work method. Or you can use other identity to cash out for you which also has it's own risk. I just sticked to my usual way of cashing out my BTC since I haven't had any issues with it and I've submitted KYC on the first place, There's not much harm to use it repeatedly as long as you are managing the amount you are cashing out.

I didn't come to a point that I hide myself from being a gambler. It's ok for me to tell anyone that I'm a gambler but I don't like showing it off to everyone especially to strangers given that they might do bad things to me, It's just a precaution to myself and it is better to just stay low-key. But to my friends, They all know I gamble and I've experience giving advises to them because of their gambling activities or they are asking for help. They know that I had a hard past on gambling addiction and now they are ok with me playing gambling because they know that I've changed and fully control myself. I just remembered that there are times before that they are stopping me to play gambling because of addiction haha.

It will sum up on how great you are on controlling yourself. If you conquer your addiction for few years, I'm pretty much sure you can still control yourself from different entities like advertisement whether it is so convincing, having good offer or putting you at the spot of playing. You get pass so many obstacle to lessen or remove your addiction, These obstacle you pass and you acquire will help you to become immune from the lust of trying it again. Advertisements are created to lure you as a potential user into their offerings and it will all boils down to you how motivated you are not to get caught on that advertisement.
