Have you ever thought about this, what we are trying to achieve in our personal financial life is completely diverge from what the government expects their citizens to do. We as Individuals always thrive to achieve financial independence in our lives especially someone who is from the average middle person but what the government expects from the middle class is different and is kind of surprising when we give deep thought about it, The Government highly relies on the middle-class tax payers for the money and most of the taxes collected in the form of indirect taxes so that people may not actually aware that they are paying taxes for everything from their salary, fuel, medicine, anything everything has taxes that eat most our earnings. So as a result we are paying from 10% to over 50% of our earnings just in the form of taxes in one or another way. So one who really wants to achieve financial independence should find a way to reduce their tax pay legally like how the businessmen do. Or like the bald guy says, we need to find a way to exit the Matrix.  That's how countries work. You are welcome to look some country that doesn't rely on their people to build the infrastructure from normal taxes. Just don't be surprised when you need to pay high import duties, or something like that because those countries need to fund themselves as well. When you pay taxes, you are ideally paying for working infrastructure, stability and safety. Tax avoidance is risky, costly and immoral. And it doesn't make any sense if you aren't earning enough anyway. And best part is, you never were independed, as you rely on the infrastructure of the country you were born in. Depending where you live, they can provide different kind of things, but at least ideally it's security, by laws and army. And those things cost money. |

o48o - u have to take risks in this game.
Arcblock has been the number 1 in my portfolio for many months now and I only invested less than $400 in it originally.
I have no idea what is causing this surge in the last few months but it is getting a lot of hype so I am not complaining.
Obviously you have you take risks but that's not a way to find potential coins or tokens to invest in a first place. There are hundreds similar charts that looks just as dead as Arcblock was end of last year. So i would have just counted it as one of them, and probably wouldn't bothered to read about their latest development as there are thousands of these to look at. It would just take more time than i have. So i guess i am interested how you found this and picked from the bottom? Did someone tell you or were you just browsing for random coins in somewhere? |

How to explain that you don't how to do analysis without saying you don't know how to do it. Start by explaining that dollar value of single full token is any kind of meaningful metric. Because it's insignificant and doesn't measure or indicate value by itself. No need to check the guide when this is the headline. But don't feel bad, this is common newbie mistake. Tokens aren't cheap because they are worth a penny per token. They are cheap when marketcap is low. |

Arcblock has been on massive pump over the last week I got in near the bottom in November and just taken out my investment.
With only 186 million supply and $70m market cap - this could still go a lot higher.
What has caused the hype lately and is anyone else invested?
Well marketcap went to $350 million, so you were right. But when you are talking about supply you usually refer to circulating supply. If you are talking about total supply you might want to specify that. Like Bitcoin_arena said, an airdrop could be the reason, but boy this is some ath pump that i wouldn't explain with just an airdrop. I never would have invested into something like this last year but congratz to people who did. Maybe it's time for old steady tokens to pump.  |

The bull market is approaching and after that, the altcoin season will start as it has done in other bullish time for the market. Everyone has to be planning for what they'll buying in preparation for the bull run therefore I have a question for everyone. What altcoins will you be buying in preparation for the altcoin season if you only have limited option to choose between investing in old tokens, projects that were launched before or during last bull market or tokens that were launched between last year, this year and the next year. Let assume you only have $1000 and you can put this money in 1-5 projects but they all have to be either old tokens or new tokens that you'll be buying. Which one will you go for, for those that will think they can choose the two type of projects, that won't be possible. I'm trying to see where the attention of investors go when selecting tokens to invest into for the altcoin season.
This is a weird hypothetical, as that's not really matter in a long run. Yeah, i understand that new tokens can create more hype but keep in mind that you need to be ready exit early, or at least take off your initial investment as soon as possible. Because many of these are rugs, slow rugs, pump and dumps that benefit only few people, they might have paid hype. And many of them would be considered as unregistered securities if they were risen like pepe. Pepe team was smart in marketing and they didn't break any rules that i know of. Most of these teams have no idea what they are doing and what's legal and what's not. So they never be listed in Cexes like binance. At some point team realizes this as well and just dumps their tokens, as they know it's not going anywhere anyway. So at some point there will be more hype created by something irrelevant and they perform exit pump. |

Desktop only for sports bets, because i somehow my computer and keyboard more when there's some text based clicking, especially when money is involved.
Desktop is also way more faster way to do research and comparison for anything i want to bet. I have 3 monitors so i can keep ton of data in front of me. It's fast and reliable enough for that.
Slots i play with my phone, as those seems to run smooth. I can do other more meaningful at the same time with laptop or desktop. Also phone is way more secure then my desktop (that has some shady software) and laptop is reserved for work only.
I used to have tablet, but at the time i found it confusing. These days it might work better but at the time there were all sorts of compatibility issues, errors and crashing browsers and missing data. But i reckon it would be visually appealing to play slots or any clicking based games, as i was totally hooked on several game apps. I might even buy one for that and watching media if i win big this year.

-cut- Competely unbelievable. I know all the warnings about this casino but I never had a problem with them and they were actually so nice but this right now is extremely bad customer service. Am I in the right here or wrong guys? Photo 1 where I request to be self excluded: https://imgur.com/a/U5WwvpOPhoto 2 where I request to be perm banned after I gambled: https://imgur.com/a/aFtcYeyPhoto 3 where they claim that they did not receive a request from me to be temporary self excluded, even though I emailed + contacted live chat multiply times: https://imgur.com/a/nqIECAoPhoto 4 where they state they cannot give me my live chat history: https://imgur.com/a/n2SE5noObviously it's their fault, but since you saw all the warnings, why did you assume that they wouldn't screw you over at some point? Think of it this way: you only lost 20 MBTC and it could have been so much worse, so in my book you dodged a bullet for not get scammed any more than their violation of their self-exclusion. Imagine trusting your whole budget with them. Or trying winning anything meaningful and couldn't withdraw that. I understand the frustration and venting, and after you get that out of your system, maybe accept your loss because you won't recieve justice from their end. And next time look at the trust of the bitcointalk announcement of any casino you plan to be using. |

So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?
I honestly don't get why people buy bonus rounds. It's not like they are winning higher jackpots when cost and risk with them is so high that it barely makes sense to use them. And like you described the situation, it's way more rewarding to get those free spins via regular bets. And it keeps the whole game worth playing really. Even if someone is arguing that statistically you are using same amount of money for them, i would argue that luck is what we are here for anyway. High wins with small bets are the dream. Otherwise i would be just betting more on small multipliers. But i can't really see why that's worth the risk. That's not why i play and one reason i am not interested in blackjack for example. But i get that is a personal preference and not all gamblers are looking for that. If i trusted that i could make money by slowly grinding with low multipliers, i would totally do that as well. |

There is too many chains and coins.
When i want to send money to someone i always end up paying with USDT tron chain when i pay my telegram signals memebrship fee always with USDT.
No matter how much USDC pushing it people tend to use USDT still and when i pay to my partners or exchange money they all use USDT tron.
Because of meme coins SOLANA is second chain i don't use btc at all first i have to ask what's the btc for ?
I don't use eth either it's grazy High fees and it's slow.
I would use xlm or xrp but anyone who I deal they use USDT tron.
We have so many blockchains and coins and they don't find use case tron has now number one utilty it's holding number one payment method on tron chain.
Ada dot matic and all the others and ltc....i even can't Understood why we need those ?
Then don't use them. Why would anyone even be interested to talk you into them, if you only have use for usdt in TRC20 tokens? You obviously don't need them. Some people use various other chains because they want to support the infrastructure. They believe that these chains are able to scale in the future, or they are speculating and waiting to profit from them. Tron would be expensive too if it was decentralized and used for anything else then sending usdt. |

How true is this rumor? This is very popular on our local streamer comment section that streamers is just using a demo account with enhance winning rate on all slot games to showcase huge win while they are playing.
I knew that only slot game provider has the power to change the RTP of the slot games but some of the comment is from other streamers that has same experience on using demo account.
I am not sure why this would be needed as high RTP doesn't guarantee high jackpots. Some casinos might fake those, i am sure, but also if you give enough free cash for influencers to play with, they will eventually hit those huge jackpots. And those will pay themselves back as those videos bring in ton of new greedy players. And streams where they lose money aren't worth sharing, so they get less attention. I've watched only few of these live, and least one of these casinos had paid the "influencer" which was very low status influencer because casino was shady and new. And they also paid with bonuses to commentors, so there was an audience made up totally from the casino's community, trying to get bonuses just by commenting. Even though the influencer didn't win anything big and eventually lost everything, i lost my trust on any of these at that day. |

If i was as a high roller as you, i would probably risk it. Then again, you might be better off asking opinions from other high rollers as yourself.
Because your question is highly subjective, i reckon i would ride that bet if i were you. At least if i am adjusting that to my bets, because from my point of view multiplier itself isn't that huge, just the total amount. but if that's something you can afford to lose, and you bet this amount frequently, i would say ride it. And good luck mate.
If it was me with that amount of money, i would cash out in a second.

The dip is always hard to catch, though. It's hard to tell how far deep the market will drop. We could be thinking this is it ($56K ~ $57K) only for it to drop further to $40K but generally red markets are a good time to buy coins at discounts
My focus in altcoins is Solana. An easy 100% from the current price ($125) if the market trend turns major bullish, and it attempts to go past its previous all-time high.
I would argue that bottom is hard to catch, but dip itself isn't. I mean that it's happening right now, just buying now we are buying the dip. And since we are in long term bull run anyway, and people buy the trend, it's a no brainer when we scale back enough and look at the trend. Only people who are trading with leverage are scared, and that's understandable. But spot buyers and bag holders... I don't know why would they panic sell anything now. instead they are probably looking for more capital to put into alts. And then there are nocoiners that are waiting for the next ath to fomo and buy. They will be giving fuel for the next moon rocket. |

-cut- They have promoted scamcoins in the past, they will post anything for money. I remember them praising Dogecoin, yeah that has utility - for pumping and dumping, a f... meme coin They mislead readers with a clickbait site, i am pretty sure you are referring to that with scamcoins https://www.wsj.com/business/media/brands-paid-for-ads-on-forbes-com-some-ran-on-a-copycat-site-instead-c01609efAnd since we are talking about Forbes, i am linking the original story to get more balanced view, because crypto sites are pretty biased to review anything negative: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenehrlich/2024/03/27/the-rise-of-cryptos-billion-dollar-zombies/I think it's quite good to realize that Ripple for example was hyped to be disrupting banking industry, and NFTs disrupting method to transfer ownership and RWA. Neither of these happened. But it seems like that maybe the reason for this article was because these writers ate that hype up, and now seem to be disappointed. Their loath against the crypto just oozes from the text. They don't seem to be able to contain themselves and use loaded words and phrases. I don't necessarily disagree with most of their points, but delivery on this article is just horrible. Just the fact that it ends like this, tells all about the objectivity: Buyer beware. The lunatics are running the crypto asylum. |

As I understand it (tell me if I am wrong about this), a majority of the servers for Bitcoin and the majority of the hashing power currently resides in China. Hence the CCP could simply order all of those servers to hard-fork and there's absolutely nothing any holder of Bitcoin could do about it--the network would naturally select China's version of the software because they'd have the majority. And if they effectively control the software, they could do anything they wanted including invalidate any block they wanted or put in their own blocks. And it wouldn't matter what country you live in (Bitcoin doesn't know what country you live in).
At the end of the day, there are physical servers involved in serving Bitcoin (or any other internet service), and those servers have a physical location, and thus those servers are subject to government intervention--just like anything else on the planet.
If China doesn't have the majority of the hashrate--or no single country does--then a group of countries could take over Bitcoin if they were so inclined (viz. China+Russia+client states of same = >50%).
I suspect, years ago, when the Computer Science people at the university went to the Political Science people and told them, "we've created a technology that is impervious to governments" they... probably had a good laugh...
It used to be so before the Chinese mining ban that came in 2021. These days majority of the hashing power comes from United States (40%), china has only half of that. Also if one pool would have 51% of the hashpower, it would make no sense to use all those millions in mining for one double spend and get kicked out of the network, and cause bitcoin price to drop because of panic, when they could just keep mining cash in by selling those mined bitcoins. Real problem is that regulations could cause these incentives (bitcoins) to become a less popular and lower the overal acceptance and liquidity. |

Don't fight wars are because the elite fight but they don't fight themselfes
Anyways who cares If it's israel or iran or russia or ukraine we all same people the ukraine war can end easy ukraine should not fight let russia take it what is the problem?
For average person it don't matter who rule goverment it is who it is you live just your life and that's it.
All the wars Will be over If people don't resist or fight back
That's it Same in iran israel no point to fight who ever is stronger give up no point to fight and lose for average person it don't matter what goverment rule
Does it matter If china rule over USA ? I don't think will be bad more then now so me as citizen i don't care i live my own life and for me no matter wich goverment rules
If it's all the same, then i guess you wouldn't mind living in North-Korea or any authoritarian country where you are not allowed to express your views like this, but jailed or killed for them. Or in a country that doesn't have infra for internet access because ruler's of it aren't doing anything for something like that. Or maybe picture yourself living in a country that's so dangerous or poor that any day could be your last, like Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, South Sudan or Congo. If your answer is "why not", then you must be living in total hell, and i suggest fleeing instantly. Purpose of the government is to govern. Ways for that just can change radically. You can easily google this. That might raise your respect for your government, if you aren't living in the most dangerous and corrupt countries out there. In which case again, seek asylum from developed country immediately if possible. |

For those with Shuffle accounts and NBA fans out there, you might want to try your luck at winning $100. Simply follow this link and predict the winners of today's two NBA Playoffs games: https://twitter.com/shufflecom/status/1783127523221712997You also need to comment your shuffle.com username for your prediction entry to be valid. *Consider this post to bump this thread. lolI feel that all these competitions are probably waste of time for someone like me as my twitter account totally looks like a bot. I know that i wouldn't probably win even if it didn't, but I made it purely to read tweets or like them. Not to be active in xitter. And i am only followed by of bots  . I could retweet more, but i feel that isn't bringing anything but more spam to already bot filled platform. Even when i tweet responses with my shuffle username, i wouldn't take my account as a real thing myself . And frankly i bet those replies aren't even showing on their feed to them. So maybe i'll stick on with just gambling on that site. |

Do you also know that when you gamble every day, there is a possibility that the person will get addicted to the game and not just the money they are going to lose? And when a gambler ends up getting addicted, do you still think the game will be boring for him or her? That's when that addiction will make it seem as if they are having fun playing the game, when it's far from the truth.
I don't see gambling as something that can ever bore those who are addicted to it, which is why when I'm talking about gambling every day and its effect, I can only add addiction as one of the effects, but boredom is far from it for me.
I am pretty sure if someone needs to gamble daily, that they are somewhat addicted already. Imho breaks are a good thing to revaluate what's important in our lives and take a step back to think why are we gambling in a first place. But magical thinking often makes it compulsory, as people think they are going to miss "lucky days". In a same way if someone sticks to one and same row of numbers in a lottery, they can't stop because what if that day is the day those numbers hit. More they play, more it seems like a possibility that they can't afford to miss. In gambling, it even couldn't happen like that as no one is showing us our missed opportunities, (except maybe in crash game). But i think that many people believe in good and bad luck streaks in a way that they are tied to certain days. It isn't a real thing, but people believe in astrology as well so it's really hard to convince them it's all about randomness. |

F*ck is that even real  240K win with 16$ bet is that really true friend you must be a super lucky people on earth I mean on that site hehe. But why you go here after win such a big amount you are not from the gambling site and play some marketing arent you. It is a bonus buy so @OP spent around $1200 or $2400 (as a regular bonus buy)depending on who he chooses to play as. But yes it is still a huge win and life-changing in my country. Well wether he is doing marketing or not is up to him, but sharing this kind of winnings is a refreshing thing for people who are in a losing streak . Congratulations on the huge win @OP. Where did you get those numbers ($1200 or $2400) and do you mean by regular bonus buy? Surely not bought bonus? Seems to me from the replay that it's a regular $16 bet that just happened to win a bonus. As buying $16 worth of free spins surely wouldn't get you near that kind of jackpot, even with best case scenario. I know this slot machine has extraoridinarily high volatility, but buying a bonus worth $16 would make underlying bet somewhere in the ballpark of $0.1. But yeah, i don't know why people wouldn't believe this is real, even with the attached replay. Seems real to me, so congratz OP. |

I have lived in many communities and some States or regions in my country and there are some communities I went and I discovered that women are more productive by going to farm and other daily activities to provide food in the family than men. While the male sons and fathers are busy playing bet with Checkers Game and popular known in my locality "Draft Board Game" and bet on "Whot Card Game". And their.wives would go to farm or fishing to feed the families. Till date those things are common in the places I have visited in the country, mostly the elderly ones who the young once are busy using the casino centers and websites to play their games.
The elderly ones are still busy playing games with the traditional methods so most of us didn't notice that they are gambling but they bet with money and that has become automatically a gambling habit while the younger generation is using the new methods of online and casino Halls. Mostly of this elders would left home early morning to the draft games centers and stay there till evening. Playing games with one another. In most time they use places that sells drinks and smoking things like cigarettes and others. Those places are always busy with elderly people.
Do you see such elderly people in your country? Or is it only in Africa? Is the younger ones play gamble more than the elders?
It has always been the elderly who gamble here (in finland), and gambling gets more popular during economic depression that we are facing. But just this morning i heard the news on on my alarm clock radio where they said that young people are gambling even less now then few years ago, and their overall attitude against gambling is more hostile, which is interesting. In fact every negative comment about gambling has came from youngsters, and that argument is that it's a scam against poor people who are bad with their money, and old people who play their pensions to slot machines and lottery tickets. I feel that they have more acceptance for sports gambling, but casino and lottery type games seem to be very unpopular among young people in here. And especially middle aged people in here seem to gamble online, at least those that don't use it as excuse for socializing. Because it's safer and takes less effort. |

Someone betted on boxing and lost the game but the gambler out of grieve of his lost is trying to ease his emotion Said, It is okay as it is for at least the guy I betted on made me lost the game but had unfortunate for him too to had taken beaten of his life.
I think such is and aggressive and irresponsible gambler who gambles on the peak of what he can not afford to loose.
How is this in any way aggressive? Sounds like quite the opposite, like an empathic person would think. He could have it worse is quite healthy attitude to losing something. And this comparison is quite fitting, as bettor only lost the money, while person who had to fight for it got beaten. And how is it irresponsible to lose a bet? That doesn't make any sense either. Why do you think he couldn't afford to lose it, because you are leaving that bit out? People win and lose all the time in gambling, that's why it's called gambling. Otherwise it would be investing. So what makes this particular bet an irresponsible next to all the others? Because it was lost bet? |
