341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 24, 2024, 08:50:19 AM
I don't know if he will feel comfortable seeing his woman as a gambler, you know him better, if he is capable of handling this then tell him, he can also be your way out if you somehow get addicted some day, you guys are one already, the reason why you feel like telling him is because you knew its wrong to keep something like this away from him, what if one day he find out on his own? That won't be so good isn't it?

Tell him how you are gambling, to make him feel at ease that his woman isn't a addicted gambler, show him that you are indeed a responsible gambler, and he won't need to be worried about the state of your mindset health.

I hope you have a job? If yes then there won't be any reason for him to think that you will be wasting his money on gambling, as afar as you are a responsible married woman there is no cause for alarm.

Samourai wallet and Wasabi wallet came from a same team in the past but they separated in developments. After that development team fork, there are two different wallets developed by two different teams.

Samourai wallet is a good one to use for privacy.

Enhanced privacy with Wasabi & Samourai wallets. I wrote it in 2019 and you knew there are many changes with Wasabi wallet recent years.

Is privacy on bitcoin really privacy? Are they completely privacy? I am just asking because Bitcoin isn't a privacy coin from ground up, I don't see how privacy is a thing here, comparing Bitcoin to Monero in terms of privacy is night and day, Monero was solely built with privacy in mind and that makes it a better privacy coin, Bitcoin isn't created to be one, so I don't expect all these wallets to make Bitcoin a real privacy coin that's not.

it's not really my thing to hide bitcoin transactions, but why buy Bitcoin for privacy transactions in the first place when you can just exchange to Monero and start your privacy journey easily? You can't use a drug for infection to threat headache.
 
You need privacy? Use Monero or others with privacy in-built, you need a digital currency built with decentralization in mind? Trust and use Bitcoin.

You are not to get too mad with your son, let him know that you are not happy with what he did but instead of showing much hate try to teach him about gambling instead, tell him what awaits someone who don't know a lot about gambling and he will either choose to quit or choose to be a responsible gambler.

I would love him to quit because I won't want were by his attention will shift from his studies into gambling, this is very possible but he might also start hiding stuffs from me, the truth is if he still have interest in gambling he can do it behind your back.

If you don't like your son hiding things from you it's better to pretend as if you are in support and expose what gambling really looks like to him, he will learn and you need to discipline him if he stole the money for gambling, this are two separate lessons you need to teach him.

One for stealing money to gamble, this is wrong, stealing is wrong.

Secondly, you need to teach him the act of a responsible gambler, you won't know of he still have interest or not, he might not quit gambling easily.

It depends on what he enjoys, either slots or sports that's on him to make a choice and believe me I enjoy both, but it's better to go where you know that starting with something you have no clue about, if you are already into sports like football it will be easy to choose where to bet your money.

The truth is sports are more entertaining than other, and betting some money that you can afford to lose with feel good instead of trying to win against the casino online, but like I've said before it depends on who you are.

You can actually engage in both and see what works for you, I have meet some big football fans that place hundreds of bet on matches and they are still not winning a lot, one even tried to change his life with football bets and it doesn't work out.
345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do i handle my first gambling experience on: January 23, 2024, 10:31:34 AM
Some newbies run away from gambling because of their first experience in gambling, they lost everything and they got scared, this is a better start if they choose to remain a gambler compare to a starter that win some games after few rounds of trying.

Here are some advice for you.

1. Don't ever borrow money to gamble.

2. It's easier to have a source of income and also be a gambler.

3. When you lose money learn to walk away and gamble another day.

4. Depending on your first experience, it doesn't matter either you win or lose, but becoming a long term gambler is the deal, and the only to be a long time gambler with no issue is you keep risking only what you can afford to lose.

There is no strategy that can make you win in gambling than you using your brain and risk too less on gambling, this is no real estate investment where you can risk a lot more because it's real word asset, this is gambling and it's completely about luck.
346  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why don't you use DEX? on: January 22, 2024, 03:25:43 PM
Problems with DEXes

1. Lack of good volume.

2. Costly transaction fee on the platform.

3. Higher liquidity for traders is only available on centralized exchanges.


The only thing that DEX does better is no KYC and having control over your asset while swapping your coins and tokens, a bad news for those who like leaving their coins in the hands of a website, till today people are still leaving crypto assets on exchanges because they somehow trust centralized exchanges more than anything.

Dex is actually very good, it's something that fits Bitcoin decentralization, but due to high numbers of traders in crypto space it's clear that centralized exchange is way better for trading than dexes.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: January 22, 2024, 02:11:33 PM
Is patience the solution? I doubt that because gambling isn't investment, in investment it's very important to have every patience you can get but in gambling you are vulnerable, patience can't stop you from losing, patience can't make you best casinos at their own game, the only solution that's left is using only what you can afford to lose.

Find a timetable for your gambling activities, think about a amount you can lose that won't put you in a discomfort situation, I am guessing that the lower the amount is the better when it comes to losing it, think about this very well, it's one of the most important part of a good and smart gambler.

Since you can never say what's going to happen, be prepared to go full safety at first, avoid wanting huge reward from gambling, avoid people that love saying that the higher you use for gambler the more likely it is to win, they will distract you.
348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation on: January 22, 2024, 01:36:15 PM
There is a part of gambling that fits calling some people lazy people, and sorry to say, this generation is full of them, people who don't want to take the hard part always find gambling to be the best way, they trade their possibility of learning a good skill for gambling and that's why many under graduate ends up becoming gambling addict, like one who don't want to learn any skills and use over nine years to gamble believing that he will get lucky, now things have gotten extremely harder for him.

You don't want to choose gambling as your main road to success, there is ninety-nine percentage chance that you will fail and waste your years away doing nothing, I believe the reason why people get addicted to gambling is lack of understanding, why are people working so hard everyday when they can just gamble and get rich? Why are people working from 8am to 5pm just to have food on their table? If it's easy with gambling everyone would have turned into a gambler.

Gambling is by luck, if it's your bad day you will keep losing money, since you are in the dark and don't know when you will get lucky you need to safe yourself from unwanted losses, that's why it's very important to keep risking what you can afford to lose in the main time till your turn to get lucky will come around.
349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 22, 2024, 12:00:10 PM
You can't just stop because you are losing, not until your gambling budget for the day is all lost, if you plan to risk not less than 20 dollars in a casino, if you are losing it's still fine, continue until you reach the 20 dollars target and take your leave, you can't start gambling without having a budget in mind, this is what many gamblers don't have in plan before they start gambling, that's how they lose everything in a day.

The hard truth about gambling is that not everyday will be your lucky day, and there is no way you can know which day is your lucky day, so you only need to keep trying with a certain budget, it's not a must to even gamble, if you don't have the $20 to gamble you shouldn't try to gamble, wait for another day when you have the spare money for gambling.

There are many other important things in life to do, don't be too devoted to gambling, you will probably end up doing mistakes over and over, you can learn some.skills online and improve your earnings, only consider gambling if you feel like it, because this game isn't a assured one, you will likely lose some money before your luck shine down on you.

Since there is no guarantee to win in gambling this is why you shouldn't be too attached to it, and when you really feel like gambling you should use your budget, mind you, if you start losing your money do not increase your budget, or else you will still keep losing the money if your luck isn't around the corner yet.
350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: January 21, 2024, 01:08:57 PM
That's true, especially in football bets, many people get too greedy, the higher the numbers of matches they can bet on the higher the odds, but they have forgotten that the higher the risks too, they simply just make winning to be extremely harder for them due to their own readiness.

The way gamblers bet is different, but it's common sense to see that more odds equals to more risks of losing money, there are options to take profit in gambling now while the matches is ongoing, this is good compare to before, but still its clear that higher risks in gambling means you hardly will win.

I don't want to be the one telling people to start betting on less numbers of matches at once, like someone in this thread already said, everyone are not the same, some will get lucky still even with higher numbers of odds but I can't compare myself to them, as reality is reality to me, I have many people that gambles this way for years are they never become a millionaire that they so much desire.
351  Economy / Services / Re: I do have winning casino crypto formula with 200% profit per month,any interest? on: January 21, 2024, 12:37:08 PM
Why not per day? As a gambler you are meant to gamble and get your result in a hour or even in minutes, this is not an investment field, so what's there to be on wait for?

I don't believe that anyone has anything with gambling, if you believe you do, please kindly use the opportunity to change your life first before looking for someone else to help, if truly it works you won't let anyone know, you would have make yourself a lot of money already.

You stating that you really need someone that can give you quick money in return gives you away, it takes a month to earn 200% profit with whatever strategy you have and you can't even wait for that long? You want instant money for yourself? That makes you a scammer in disguise honestly.  
352  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A practical way to stop procrastinating and start your investment journey. on: January 21, 2024, 11:21:06 AM
Procrastination doesn't always ends well with crypto investment, but lack of knowledge is the main reason why people plan to take action and never do, they have the mind of doubt asking themselves if its the right time to buy, they fear any possible upcoming dump bringing their money down in value right in front of their eye.

People do do this shit mostly are those who don't understand how the cycle works, if you have been in crypto space for years in the past and you still don't know how this crypto cycle works you will never make it in crypto, a smart person only needs to fail once in crypto space when it comes to when to buy and when to sell, after that you should be able to figure it out already.  

What lack of knowledge will do to you in crypto space.

1. You will always look down on DCA strategy, and this is the most effective way to invest on Bitcoin for the long term.

2. You will be running after hype and FOMO, that's why majority of new investors chase the green candle always.

3. Bear market and bull market will be like a puzzle that's impossible to solve, meanwhile, bear market is your accumulation phase and bull market is where you should be taking your profits aggressively.

If you understand what you are doing there won't be any fear in you compare to someone who is completely blind as they have no single clue on what they are doing, they will be full of confusion.
353  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: January 21, 2024, 10:04:54 AM
Ok, first of all... Bitcoin is money. Why would casinos accept it, if it was not money? How would they pay for their operating expenses, if Bitcoin was not money?  Roll Eyes

The Licensing authorities might not be as affective as most people would have wanted, but they do serve a purpose. Can you imagine what casinos would have gotten away with, if there were zero oversight over their activities?

Some of these casinos would not even have been able to open it's virtual doors for business, if it was not for these licensing authorities. (Example : Australia does not allow online gambling, but Eddie (Australian) operates Stake.com which is one of the most succesful online crypto casinos out there.)
I accept, Bitcoin is indeed money, I haven't seen where every thing that's not crypto is been accepted in a casino before, you can't use diamond or gold because they are precious stones kinda but bItcoin is digital and yes it fits to be money than anything except fiat itself.

Casinos having licenses do serve it's purpose and it has nothing to do with what currencies the casinos choose to accept or not, I believe this is not the part of the license they are trying to acquire, it does not concern the license office, casinos are the ones to say a yes or no to a currency.

Bitcoin is digital money and this have been the same in the past years, we made it this far and today the ETF is even approved, it means we can use crypto to pay for what we want if the sellers are willing to accept them as payment option, this is non of the authorities business.
354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My dream business succeeded on: January 19, 2024, 06:37:52 AM
I could have love to congratulate on this your achievement but then again I don’t buy the story as they don’t look real to me, there have been lot of stories like this in the forum which just happens to reduce of recent due to how the community keep on busting them and discovery the full intention of the Op.

If your dad is a public servant and have access to public funds you should focus on learning and investing on other things than this bar of a thing it will attract attention to you and your family especially one like this that you want to start accepting bitcoin, if you were to throughly have those money that he gives to you 2,000,000 naira can’t open a standard bar here in this country after doing all the fee payment from registration, rent, and arrangement of the shop. I just find it hard to buy your story.
How big is the bar that's capable of attracting attention? Not this type of bar bro, just look at it again, it's something anyone can do for themselves without getting help, it doesn't even look like something that cost a lot of money from a politician, mind you, these people have access to different women, they most times have children outside of their first marriage, so it is possible that OP do get help from his father.

If something similar haven't happen in your environment it will become harder to believe, I get that, if truly that all this bar cost is just 2,000,000 naira it shouldn't attract any attention, and not all politician children are none, I bet this is what's happening here, this amount is something a parent can do for a child, too small from a political figure honestly, it is not a big thing.

Those who are not even in politics are spending millions on their children to build hotels and other big companies, this is even under average coming from a political figure.
355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 18, 2024, 11:34:35 AM
It sure looks edited but maybe for the security purpose of the winner? The only edited part is the face which isn't bad at all, I believe it's the best thing to do, both sides are winners here and they used the winner to shill their business too, it's good.

Some lottery winners don't care about exposure that's why they boldly decide to come out to the open, but I can't do the same because countries security varies, I bet that if I do the same many bad figures will come for me, I would rather just keep my mouth shut.

Either legit or not always make the best decision for your own sake, it's better to keep your winnings as secret instead of showing the world.
356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING DISORDER on: January 18, 2024, 10:01:16 AM
How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.
There is nothing spiritually about gambling and casinos, what you don't understand is the true meaning of luck, when something is all about getting lucky it becomes uncertainty, you don't want to be too into this like it's a reliable source of income, to get paid at work you need to render a good service and you will get your salary, but you can't say the same thing with gambling.

You will be messed up so badly if you believe that gambling will bring you all the dreams you desire, you are simply trying to cheat nature, if it's easy to make money everyone on the street will be millionaires, let this sink into your skull, accept that gambling is risky, you ain't going to get lucky almost all the time.

Do not solve income problem with gambling, it will never work that's why you are already in this shit hole called disorder, it's your own believe about gambling that's punishing you, sit down and rethink about gambling, there is no miracle to make money out there, you need to get a job and start saving up money, invest part of the money in good assets and only consider gambling with extra money, very small percentage from you income will do.
357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: January 18, 2024, 09:17:41 AM
It could be a hope restorer, I have so many good stories like this that happened to people I know but not many people ends up doing what they have in mind before gambling after they win some money, they will think they can still win more and they will risk the money back and all will be lost.

It's better to have that small hope in gambling and put more hope in something else, because not everyone will be so lucky, there are gamblers that have never made a thousand in gambling before and they have been doing this for years already.

All I am saying is that gambler should have little hope in gambling, don't be a fool, as lucky as you can get is also as loses as you can get too, keep risking what you can afford to lose, sometimes the doors opens where we least expected, you may get lucky in gambling but don't count on it as your solution.
358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if authorities launch a tax for owning bitcoin? on: January 18, 2024, 08:00:24 AM
BTC by its very nature precludes centralization, and thus governments. They can attempt to do whatever they want. BTC will fill the cracks of attempted centralization like water seeking its level.
I am not buying this, can you say the same thing about people who have been buying and selling Bitcoin all their lives using centralized exchange? The foot print is already there and nothing can clean it up, only those who have never passed KYC on any CEX and also stick with Peer to peer trading can escape this.

Bitcoin was created as a decentralized currency but the people gave power back to the authorities by using centralized entities to trade their Bitcoin, the fault is on the investors, they invest in Bitcoin but they failed to use it the right way.

You can only be taxed if you trade your Bitcoin on centralized exchanges, it's why the government want every details available on Binance exchange, to know those people buying big without paying taxes, many new mess will happen in the future, many people wont saw it coming.
359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowing Bitcoin price history is important on: January 17, 2024, 03:39:50 PM
It's really important to know the past price action of Butcoin and it can also be a adrenaline rush for you start looking for money anyhow to invest in Bitcoin, even the bad ways can look normal to you, it's a motivation for me to look into Bitcoin past history but it might not be same for some people, we all think differently as human beings.

I always believe that Bitcoin will make a new high in future just like when it was very cheap, $200,000 is possible merely looking at the past history of Bitcoin, but this should just be motivation for everyone, don't go and look for money in any wrong ways, do not borrow or take loan either because you want to invest in Bitcoin, risks are still present so invest only what you can afford to lose.

To become a successful holder, you need a job secured and you must only risk your hard earned money, not the money that belong to someone else, and as possible as it seems for Bitcoin to reach a million dollar some day, make sure you only risk what you can only afford to lose, even tomorrow is not guaranteed, be wise.
360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Higher and lower risks in gambling is the gamblers choice. on: January 17, 2024, 01:10:46 PM
More risks means more profits, this is what's running in the mind of many gamblers, but they have forgotten that even this world is created with good and evil inside, there is ying and yang theory about everything only if you have wisdom, there is no right that wrong is so far away from, we humans even have plans but its up to heaven to accept your wishes and grant them as you planned.

When you are about to do good always thing about the other side too, even doing good sometimes results to evil, now we are talking about gambling, which is all based on luck, how stupid are you to think that if you risk a lot of money on this uncertainty way of making money, that you will win? Human mind sometimes is completely blind.

If something is too good to be true, you must walk away from it, because there is always more to it that you don't know, if you can risk a lot and win a lot you shouldn't be stupid not to know that you can also lose a lot with this gambling.

True be told, gamblers are the ones killing themselves.
