You are right, the bull run has not started yet. I thought 1 month ago that the bull run has already started but then I was wrong. I understand after reading the posts of some senior brothers, it is not a bull run. But now I see almost all coins are damping the price a lot. I hope the bull market will start within 2-3 months. I want to invest some amount from my fund in different coins and hold.
Usually bull runs start after the halving, and we have time till our next halving. It will not start in 2-3 months, not even in Q1 2024, because the next halving will be on April 26, 2024. There are some other factors too that initiate a bull run, so it is hard to say the exact time, but it usually occurs 3–4 months after halving. That is correct, the catalyst for a bull run is the halving, and if I'm not mistaken, the schedule is around late March or early April. So there's a lot of leg room still for us to continue to fill our bags with the coins that we think that can give us good profits in 2024-2025. So I do like what the OP says here, it's not time and we don't want to swim in the idea that we are in the bull run when obviously, the price is till very low and majority of the altcoins are still in the -90% from it's all time high. From my experience, buying some coins today would be a good move knowing that coins are cheap since we are still in the bull market. I personally filling my portfolio now with coins that I like and of course I anticipated that I will make a profit in the upcoming years. I missed my chance from the past bull market and now I don't want for it to happen again, there's still plenty of time to buy coins in the market. I believe that buying before and after the halving will generate us profit from altcoins but the difference is the amount of potential profit. The lower we can buy is the higher we can maximize our profit. |

Backing it up would be the solution. I have a multiple backup of my seed phrase that only I myself know. Storing it in different location is a necessary thing to do. One example on where you can store it is on a safe, accessible and has a person that currently guarding the place like your parents house. It is a way to have a back up seed phrase incase a natural disaster happen in the place where you store your seed phrase.
We also need to get ready in case there's another disaster like being a victim of an accident or being diseased. Putting instructions on how to use your wallet on your safe place would be ideal. I personally store this kind of instruction on places that can be retrieved if I'm not in this world anymore. Putting extra security like hiding your seed phrase somewhere separate in the house and giving clue to the instructions on how to find it would be fun, it's like a hide and seek.

I own a half dozen Mac minis > I used to mod the older stye ones until apple locked them down and I got into bitcoin instead.
I never owned and most likely never will buy an iPhone.
I use mid grade Samsung phones they are essentially all I will ever need in a smart phone.
If I were to waste money on an expensive piece of gear from apple it would be a Mac Studio which I will most likely never need..
Cell phone have shown their hand with battery lockdown ill replaceable batteries mean it is disposable gear.
I really wish people would boycott iPhones and buy Samsungs for 1/3 the cost.
I guess it depends on the user. I owned an iPhone and currently using other apple products. I'm currently using a 3 year old iPhone which run fine and other apple gadgets that I "help" me to do my daily work load. I'm a past android user, but after using iPhone, I adapted the ecosystem of Apple. I can't feel the satisfaction of using an android phone as my main device but yeah, Apple products are overpriced. In my own perspective, it is disposable just like other phones in the market that downgrade after couple of years given that all of it has a chipset that can't be replaced. I bought my first brand new iPhone way back in 2017 and now it's barely functioning, the thing is I sold my bitcoin to buy that and seeing how the current bitcoin price is, there's some kind of regret on selling my bitcoin for an iPhone. I would never sell my bitcoin again for the sake of buying a latest generation iPhone. |

These places that let you bet and gamble count on that little voice that says, "Just one more time!" People and luck are not always friendly with each other. Like when you find a great treat and think, "Maybe just one more bite!" even though you're full. You ate the whole cake, bam!
As you said, quitting while you're ahead is the smart thing to do. When you reach your goal, take a moment to relax and look around. Getting better at self-control is more important than the money. Like a diet, you dont have to completely avoid cake, but maybe dont eat it all at once?
Yes, that will happen; many gamblers have often had experiences like that. They thought playing one more round would be okay, so they continued gambling for another round. But the reality is not what they think because, with one round, they often end up losing. And many of them in that last round use rather large bets, hoping they can take home more money. But instead of winning, they lose a large amount of money that they have used so that the previous winning money will not be the same as before because it was used to bet the last time. Stopping gambling at the right time must be done and these gamblers must really pay attention to this to avoid losing again while they have already won. But we know that this greed will keep coming to them to want to continue gambling and keep whispering in their ears to play one last round. Only wise gamblers can really stop gambling because they will not think about winning again after winning previously. I'm guilty with this kind of habit. There are times that I'm doing this kind of behavior but I don't come to the point that I end up losing given that I stop my gambling activity when I hit my break even point. There's some kind of control in me but yeah, it's a bad habit. This kind of mistake is due to thinking that if ever my last round win, it will serve as the withdrawal fee so I can take home all of my actual winnings. There are times that I stick with the one last round but yeah, sometimes greediness happens and I end up doing more gambles than I should be. |

But at least it's a reminding for us everyone, that even though we might be addicted and we think that it could be the end of it all, we shouldn't take our lives for it. It's really difficult for a kid and maybe he thinks that this is the only way out  Debts can still be paid by working and asking for time to pay the debt, why have to end it all and kill yourself so that the problem is solved, I'm also sure that the debt will never be finished, it could be that the family bears the debt, so why have to end your life just because of debt where we can actually settle the debt within a certain period of time. I've seen successful businessmen have big debts before but he was able to continue living to pay his debts in installments until now he has become a successful businessman, we don't know what our future will be like, so why should we risk it and end our lives just because of debt, but You are right that this should also be a reminder that never gamble and cross the line because if you are addicted it is quite difficult to stop and you will definitely often be in debt. The difference is the mindset that we have and how positive we see our life. I'm sure that the student was pressured about the debt, I mean self pressured and has no face to show to his parents knowing that it is a shameful act to use tuition fee funds as a funds on gambling. It's true that the debt can be paid slowly by working but I understand that if you are on the shoes of the student, it's hard to see a glimpse of recovery. If ever his friends or other people came to his side to comfort and motivate him, we probably won't discussing this story. The thing is the student didn't try to find a solution to the problem, he straight up take his life like there's no options left for him. It's hard but it's harder to chew because this is all because of gambling addiction. |

You made a really useful point when you said that when we lose to the casino, we should try to recover the money but not through gambling, because trying to recover the money back through gambling most of the time leads to more loses, just rephrasing for better understanding since your post wasn't clear enough..
Anyways, that's very true and I completely agree, but then, this can only apply to those who have other means through which they make money , which is a reason why I have always advised people to not depend on gambling for income, gambling should always be for fun and even if we are playing for the money, it should be occasional, not always.
This is a nice idea, however I have always felt that the money you dedicate to your gambling habit is money that we should be able to spend as we wish without having any desire to get it back, as if that is not the case then we cannot say that was spare money and we should not be gambling with it in the first place, and instead we should use it in such a way that it generates additional profits for us, with investing in bitcoin being at the forefront of the options we must consider due to the incredible profits we can get with it. I guess it depends on how you budget your funds. I personally have a separate budget for my gambling activities so that I can limit my spending power and of course to not overspend given that the spare money I have that can be use to anything may dry out quickly if I use it as my gambling funds. In fact, my spare money is bigger than my gambling funds. This way I can still spend my extra money or save it rather than gamble it and might have the possibility to over spend. All of the gambling funds I earn just rotates to my gambling funds that's why my monthly spare money is becoming bigger and bigger. It's effective to me. |

Gambling is banned in my country but actually I am an addicted gambler so online gambling is my addiction which helps me to play in privacy. Moreover, many casino sites do not accept vpn, so if you use vpn there, your account may be closed. There is no compulsion to gamble so it is your personal freedom.
Is it a good thing for you that they don't accept VPN? I think if you're really addicted and VPN isn't really helping you to play, that's likely a blessing in disguise for you to mitigate that addiction of yours. Well, yes that's true there's no compulsion in it but if you're addicted it's yourself that's being compulsive in the first place and that's not a good thing. It depends on how he see it. It's a blessing in disguise if gambling affects you negatively heavily and somehow planning to quit gambling but for people who just became an addicted to gambling, it's a hassle for them to find casino that they know they can play without worrying the possible problem of using VPN and the country ban. Just like you I think it's a good thing that VPN is not allowed to some well known casino to reduce or to eliminate the possible effects of gambling addiction but it all boils down to the addicted gambler. An addicted person will find a way to continue their vices even if it mean to gamble on a physical casino that operates illegally. |

We live in a society where people have different views about something and these views could be drawn based on different constituent like personal sentiment, religion, ideology and experience. And speaking of gamble there are those that view it as an irresponsible activity to embark on and whoever is into it is tag as irresponsible guy, for some it beyond being irresponsible but a sin something that is evil, while some others out of an ugly experience of a loved one that got ruined by it due to extreme addiction.
These factors has made a number of gamblers to keep their gambling habit a secret doing all they could not to let friends and family know they gamble. And it does seem like they ain't proud of what they're doing.
But why continue in what you're not proud of by keeping it secret cause maybe you're worried about what people may say, how their thoughts about your person might change. Or how you might loose ties with someone you hold dear to. And many other reasons that follows.
Those that keep their gambling habit a secret is it that they're not proud of what they are doing?.
For countries that have laws that made gambling legal, it has some speculative age bracket given to it before you can start gambling. It is believed that at that age, your kind of reasoning should be matured, because for any decision you take, it's believe your well informed. People's opinions will only be secondary. As a gambler, I'm conscious of myself, I discuss my gambling activities to my cycle of friends and I don't see anyone admonishing me, because I play responsible. @Spaceman1000$, you are right. In some countries, that is how it is done, not only in terms of gambling, but for other things like investment plans and all the rest, although even on all gambling platforms it is said that only at the age of 18+ is allowed to gamble, but nowadays, we can see children of 16 to 17 years in an offline gambling center betting games and the saddest thing there is that even the director or the cashier of the casino center don't tell the under aged child to go away from the gambling center just because they want more money and more customers, although even if the children that are not yet up to the age of gambling were not allowed to gamble in an offline casino they can still go home and gamble it online because they are Little addicted to it Yep, things like that really happen on physical casinos. Casinos that have a loose laws or operates illegally are the one who are not really strict with age laws given that they are not abiding the law in the first place. Casino owners want to have more and more traffic in their casino as much as possible as they can get their money from the gamblers. It's not ethically right but there are casino who are desperate or greedy on money the can get. Of course, underage has the option to do gambling but there are bunch of risks that they will face (if the know about it) which is most likely a KYC. |

Did that last minute bet make you win or you lost more and regretted the decision? Absolutely. Lat minute bets are always unplanned, lacking the accurate and correct analysis plus it is all about adrenaline rush. It is even at the point this you may go as far as loaning money because you think that you finally got it and you will win. You end up losing. They have said if you fail to plan, you have already planned to fail. In sports betting, it is applicable too. I have an experience of rush bets and unplanned bets, more like on sports betting. This occurs me when I'm still an addict, after seeing a hype match up in social media before, I'm checking the social media comments and see what's about for this fight and seeing the "analyst comments" on comment section. After being convinced, I would straight rush into a sports betting site and would bet on the team/fighter that is on favor based on the comment section. It's a bad way to to bets but it happened that there I am winning some of the bets, not entirely all bets were on the losing side but after checking my stats and average winning, it's clear that I'm on a lose by relying on this lazy rush way of betting. |

I remember the day when I sold my bitcoin just to buy a newly release iPhone 7 plus. It's a bad decision especially when I'm seeing the price list you had list in the OP. Today, my iPhone 7+ is barely hanging without updates coming from apple since it's not supported anymore. Today, where iPhone 15 is release, I know that it isn't worthy selling bitcoin just to buy the current flagship apple product knowing that it depreciate quite fast and the bitcoin bull market that we are anticipating is coming. I would probably stick to my old phone and wait till I profit to buy a new phone I guess.

Kailangan lang talaga ng stable marketing nila ulit kung gusto nila maiangat at makita ulit yung dami ng players na naranasan nila dati. Kasi kapag sa presyo ang basehan, alam naman natin na madaming kababayan natin ang aayaw na dahil hindi sila up for the game at mas gusto lang nila yung earning side na mas mahirap na sa ngayon sa state ni Axie. Kuha lang ulit sila ng mga partner streamers nila para ma up ulit ang laro tapos mas dumami ang viewers, maging active lang ulit kada season tapos kung may need ng changes, yung mga justifiable na changes ang gawin nila sa mga meta nila dahil kailangan naman talaga nilang gawin yun. Tapos sa market mismo, dapat may mga buyouts sila para rin naman sa economy mismo ng tokens nila.
Tingin ko lang wala na talaga to since hirap na talaga magtiwala yung mga dating holders at mahirap nadin manghikayat ng mga bagong papasok since dumaan na sila sa malaking trahedya at di parin nakakabangon presyo ng token nila which is malaking factor para makahatak ng tao. Siguro sa ngayon tingnan nalang natin kung ano pa ang kanilang gagawin at kung may buy back at burning options na suggestion ng maraming tao na magaganap. Ako naman, wala din talagang pag-asa pero kung merong pakonti konting parang mga users na nagla-live ulit at may mga partnerships sila sa mga yun at nakikita ko. Parang nakaka encourage lang din kahit papano dahil nga may mga holdings pa din ako at waiting lang kung wala na talaga o di kaya baka magkaroon ng konting value. Pero tama ka diyan sa sinabi mo lalo na sa ganitong market, kapag nag pump na ang isang crypto, lalo na sa altcoins, mahirap na siyang umangat ulit. Unti unti nang bumabalik yung old streamers sa pag sstream ulit ng axie ehh, halos ang dadami din nila viewers, 3 old axie streamers nakita ko at v2/classic yung nilalaro nila, di bababa ng 500 viewers yung mga nanonood sakanila which is simply amazing kasi hindi na gaano kalakas yung axie infinity classic as compared before pero sobrang dami padin ng viewers. Dahil dito is I think marami na din siguro nag iisip mag laro ulit ng axie classic, which is ako rin mismo is iniisip ko bumalik. One thing na nakakahinder sakin is wala akong compatible device since ios device gamit ko. |

hello, is it possible to create a token and make it very famous without capital?
Yes, making a token without capital or at least dirt cheap capital is possible given that there are some blockchain platforms that allows you that. Though I doubt that you can make it famous without having your marketing funds. It is still doable if you have a very good influence on social media or has a bright strategy to get people attention in checking your token. But yeh it is still unlikely as you aim for he very famous goal, I assume like the top 20 coins level in the market. |

I don't trust altcoins but if you want to get the safest choice of the highest chance not getting scammed, probably the top 10 altcoins in the market right now. If you aim for profit and doesn't care if it take years, maybe hidden gems like new projects that you see potential on, most likely they will be noticed by the market when bull market arrives and probably will sky rocket that can produce you big profits. I learned from the past of not investing on the same token again that I invested on the last bull market, most of those coins might actually got their all time high that they can't reach anymore.

influencers not the worst scam scenario, crypto group like some paid pump insider was the real worst case. member they used for fueling the pump and people still think the otherwise because most of people to lazy for searching the clues what come next  , this advantage used by some actor for fuel gas pump  over and over again in many form I thinkcit's the influencer who's been paid to promote an obvious scam is the worst. People who are entering crypto pump groups has atleast an idea on what they are doing but the victims of these influencers are newbies in majority that don't have any clue on what they are doing, they are just following the influencer instructions. Influencers tends to bring non-crypto in the cryptospace and teach them to invest on the project they are promoting, most non-crypto followers would think that it's legit given that the influencers has so many followers and gain reputation on what he is doing. It's just so bad. |

It is a good feature especially sa mga non-crypto person na magkaroon ng chance na ma explore ang pag gamit ng crypto dahil sa grab. Siguro sa singapore palang nila nilabas itong feature dahil tinetest palang nila ang feature nato kung mag hihit sa public at kung magagamit ang use case nito. Though if lumabas man ito sa Philippines is I doubt na gagamitin ko ito personally knowing na may mga mas better options kesa rito at additional safety caution din ito since may wallet feature sila which is I guess a centralized wallet.

By default I've always grow the fear of gambling addiction and that's coming from experience in my local area where lives of men turned upside down because of gambling addiction, they later result into drinking heavily and that makes them turn into drunkard because they can't get over the losses and damages they have done.
It's terrifying as a kid to grow up seeing such things unfold and at that time I have always promised my parents to never grow up to be a gambler, I know that gambling is not the issue here but the impact it could create on someone's life is very scary.
Today I do gamble on a few casinos but damn I am very active inside of me, the past stories of those men living close to us still haunt me, I don't want to end up like them that's why I cautiously engage in gambling activities.
It's the fear that make you avoid being an addict. Maybe it's a good thing I guess? Though you still gamble with the caution of not turning into an addict. Being addicted to something really turn the table upside down, there are bunch of vices that you can be addicted but one thing is for sure, it can possibly destroy your life and gradually affect you in aspects of life like mentally, physically and financially. I myself learned from my own experience of being an addict and now that I recovered, I'm trying my best not to be the same man that is being destroyed because of gambling addiction. |

The thing I dislike is often noticeable among IRL gamblers. I dont like when someone interfere my game with advices or comments on what I do. That makes me hard to concentrate on the game or is simply annoying. I am speaking about situation when you about to do something, and people around start to whisper "I would do this or that instead", or give suggestions like "bet, drop cards, fold and etc".
I strongly relate to this. I find it super annoying if I receive side comments and suggestions behimd my back when I am playing. It sometimes ruins my play given that the suggestions they gave can make me think twice and end up in changing my move. I swear that it is super annoying, it kinda ticks me espcially if I'm having a bad day and just want to relax on a casino. I don't want to get rude to them that's why i commonly use the silent route and not entertain them on their comments. |

It's good if your site prioritizes security. But you also know that big gambling sites that definitely have large savings can be hacked.
Security and comfort are what every player wants, including not experiencing problems with withdrawals. Many gambling sites promise the best things to players, but in the end many players experience lots of complaints.
I think it's the very obvious that casino sites will take the security as the higher priority because we all know that hackers and criminals are just one step of the game. So gambling sites should be well aware of and should add a layer of security for their customers and then their casino themselves. They don't want to be the next victim here, how big or small the hackers are going to break and steal from them. Here we first take their duties in the hackers in doing their work. Because no matter how hard the security is given, they are still possible to be able to do their duties successfully despite having difficulty. We do not say their site is bad in various points of view, but based on the experience experienced by many players into important learning for newcomers. In addition to security, the responsibility when the funds are lost must also be a major concern. Before becoming a victim, it takes further research to the casino site that will be played, especially those who have just been touched by online gambling. Yep, no matter what kimd of system it is, whether it's a government, casino or anything that is considered that has a high security can still he hack and no where safe from hackers. We have seen so many data breaches, website hacks, funds stolen and some of them are on crypto. This means that even if you have a very good security, there's still a chance that you can be hacked. Seeing from a casino owners perspective, the only thing that you can do is to update security and make the gamblers know how not to get hacked and implying security measures such as 2fa. Extra security measures should be standard for every casino out there knowing that they are a hot victim for a hacker's eye. |

I hope next time mag organize din sila ng hindi sa schools lang kasi if they are promoting adoption mas maigi na sa halos lahat nalang ng sektor ng lipunan. Well, magandang initiative ito at may halaga lalo na sa crypto community at sa tingin ko baka meron pang gumaya ritong iba na may mabuti ring hangarin para sa crypto. By the way, thanks for sharing.
Dapat talaga ganun at dapat tuloy tuloy ang mga ganitong event hindi lamang sa isang lugar o sa mga school mas maganda magkaroon nito bawat city at probinsya pero wag naman sana mangyayari ito dahil sa mga may pinopromote na coin dapat talaga edukasyon para lamang sa Cryptocurrency may nakikita kasi ako na mga events na dinadaluhan ng mga kaibigan ko sa Social media na active sa Cryptocurrency pero sponsor ng mga project na hina hype nila. Napapansin ko yung mga events palagi may mga sponsor na kung hindi NFT, exchange o mga bagong coins sana lang yung turo tungkol sa Bitcoin at wag yung mga organizers ay mag promote ng mga coins na nag sponsor sa kanila kasi pag yung mga coins na pinopromote nila biglang nawala at bumagsak sa market malamang madismaya yung mga dumalo at naniwala sa kanila. Ganun talaga since need din fundings ng events na ganito, either sponsors or paud event ang mangyayari unless na nag kusang loob ang organizer na saluhin lahat ng expenses ng event which is rare. Last bull makret is may mga events na ganto pero we have seen project introductions ng NFT and exchange pero mostly ng attendees ng event na ganun is may idea na about crypto, hindi sila yung from the scratch. Let's hope mag organize yung local crypto companies natin like coins.ph ng seminars dito sa bansa natin, also sa nga lugar na hindi kadalasan nangyayari yung events but accesible to all. |

Bruh, it wasn't even Vitalik who lost funds, it was investors who followed his account. Goddamn, that is unlucky. Times like this I wish they had something like the system Bitcointalk has, having a warning label on their profile that this user has had their password changed or something similar. Rather unfortunate especially since a lot of people seem to have the idea that links, especially from famous people can be trusted. Even if warnings were said once the event happens, can't exactly force everyone to take safety precautions, that'd be quite tiring in an era where literally everyone wants just simple and few step actions to finish what they want. There should be a investigation as of now. This might be a inside job or just a tuphical hacker attack. We know that vitalik is a smart person and probably think that he wouldn't be hacked, this is why people think that the link he just gave which is labeled as free is legit. People should have learned into not trust everyone even if it came from a verified and a smart people who hold the account. It's a sad accident but we know that it will be up to vitalik if he will be give back to the victims which is another risk since scammers will use that kind of trick to scam people again. People should learn and always learn how to be cautious with the term "free". |
