1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chased loss, got it back and lost everything. on: May 12, 2024, 09:57:28 PM
Reading this guy confession https://www.gamblingtherapy.org/forum/topic/compulsive-gambler-chased-loss-got-it-back-then-lost-everything-again/ sometimes remind me of myself when I’m still not that fully taking control my gambling habits. I’m sure other players can relate to the part that you still keep playing after recovering your losses for a hope to win a little bit before you leave.
Sometimes, most gamblers don't even keep tracks of their gambling records; Yes! That could help you understand if you're making profit or not. Secondly, it could also help control your habits/ how much/ how often you increase your bankroll.

The thing is; For the fact that your mind is already programmed to win more money if your prediction cuts, and that your selections has either fetched you something good before, you're enticed to keep wagering as long as you have funds on you. It doesn't cut? No worries! Just keep wagering, it definitely will [That's how manipulative your mind can be]
2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between females and males, who are more resistant to gambling losses?  on: May 12, 2024, 09:51:42 PM
I don't wanna bring any sort of gender inequality into this case. Why? It has nothing to do with it; I had different women sneaking out to make heavy stakes on whatever they lay their hands on - it could be some random numbers they were given on thier way home from their respective jobs etc... They just don't show up like the way some men would!

I think it makes much sense to say that online casinos were created for people of this caliber. Mind you, I'm not tryna say that women gamble more but, whatever is said in here is just mere assumptions. You'll never know!
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing all your fortune with just 3 years on: May 12, 2024, 09:39:54 PM
The subject is Terrance Watanabe which is a successful businessman who has a huge business and money that becomes addicted on gambling. He lose a total of 127M which is all his fortune that he earn from his business. Imagine all your hardworking was turn out to nothing after a few years of gambling addiction.
That's the most gruesome thing I've ever heard in my life.. HTF was anything able to convince him to start gambling? He has a good business that was already producing him so much that he had such a good savings..

Y'all need to watch your habits, cause they can be detrimental atimes. Dude never knew it'd get to an extent he'll be left with no penny! So basically, he enriched the casinos all in a bid to double his earnings. What a way to wax cold easily!
Quote
He manage to wager a whooping 825M $ in just a single year when he lose that 127M.
How do you mean? I didn't get this part. Had he been winning althrough till it got to some point - which he began losing?
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: May 12, 2024, 09:11:27 PM
If I am unlucky, once I lose $100, I will leave without adding a penny. What is interesting here is that even if I win, I stop and do not deviate from the scope of the plan. In such situations, especially when winning, the gambler may become greedy, and this may change the course of the game.
That strategy isn't anything new to a gambler that knows how he goes about his usual predictions... Infact, I won't even assume that to be a strategy; IMO, it's just you being careful not to lose too much/chase your losses.

Secondly, do you think you can easily get pass the normal feeling of wanting to get more instead of just closing with the little you've gotten already? Greed?  especially when you've seen possibilities of that happening in the next round?
Do you know we've got a thousand and one gamblers that have only deposited and wagered, but haven't withdrawn anything before? Why? Being too meticulous becomes yet another problem!
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: May 11, 2024, 09:58:44 PM
A lot of social media influencers especially vloggers and YouTubers are promoting gambling usually at the end of their vlogs or videos.
I could see a huge contribution and spread of information that they made especially during this time where the majority are using smartphones already.
Retain any information you get from the social media at your own detriment .... Does any of those promotions go for free?? These people are being paid to say whatever they have to say to you... Mostimes, I see them making another post to exonerate themselves should anything happen later on.
NGA win,  this and that flooding the Internet; the most exciting thing to know is that people still get into the comment sections to ask questions on how they could register and try their luck! Isn't that mind-blowing already? Lol ....
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Using A Journal Spreadsheets Will Pave The Way For Addiction To Gambling on: May 11, 2024, 09:51:47 PM
The last thing I'd do is creating a pattern or formula for gambling... WTH does that? Don't y'all save up some money just Incase any exegencies comes forth?.  Well, the stories I've heard so far won't cease anytime soon

The moment you begin to adopt this step, soon enough, it'll become a lifestyle - that means, you an addict already! The body stimulates the mind in most actions; like getting aquatinted with a certain habit overtime... I'd guess that's the last thing you'd ever want.
Y'all, if you don't wanna regret ever knowing how to gamble, stay away from this thread.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 11, 2024, 09:33:36 PM
We all know that we cannot play for a long time without being responsible players; we could go crazy, or we could lose all our money; at some point, you have to realize that you need to play responsibly, so I created this poll and this discussion to pick your reasons and explain it.
it's totally up to you to decide whether or not you wanna keep gambling ... As a matter of fact, I've meet with so many degenerate gamblers; they don't give a fuck whatever they've lost. They've been really clingy to their faith and hope that whatever happens, they'll secure 2% outta 100 loses.
Quote
In my case, I have to lose a lot of money to realize I have to gamble responsibly if I don't want to break my finances and experience depression, so now I control myself and monitor my expenses, and I'm doing good with it.
On the other hand, you don't have to lose money to gamble responsibly... There's also nothing you can do to make accurate predictions. It's either you're being too careful or too careless!
Right from when I started gambling I have always managed my bankroll properly and I have never had to regret depositing more than I could afford to lose.
That's exactly what they should know.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They put an end to online gambling: what do you think it's going to happen? on: May 11, 2024, 08:47:47 PM
That many people will die in hungry with this our economy which nothing is working, no work for people food are at higher amount in their and some people are benefiting from gambling this days, that mostly him his benefiting from gambling.
how on earth did you have to agree with them that gambling is a way to curb the drastic state of the country's economy? Do you really think them casinos are out there to fund your pockets and leave theirs? Is gambling more like a self-enrichment project to you? Y'all need to be careful how you interpret things sometimes.
Quote
That with $200 he can stake and win about $100000 daily something that you won't even struggle to get, they can't even pay someone at work monthly up to that amount.
How TF does he do that? You won't be coming up with your fictional stories in here yunno ... How does he go about such a consistency?
Quote
So if their is no more online gambling that means definitely there won't be no more gambling at all. So how will you cope in your country if eventually they put an end to online gambling?
Work hard!!!
A country banning gambling is not even the problem. What if the country goes ahead to write to the casino that they should not service their region anymore, in this case even a VPN will be useless.
you can access any casino with the TOR onion browser or any strong VPN
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? on: May 10, 2024, 09:35:13 PM
You have no idea what it looks like to gamble and lose money... First of all, gambling isn't a one-way fund raising program - that alone should tell you that they'll be times you'd lose money ... Now, it's up to you to decide whether or not you wanna keep gambling! Do you understand why People keep gambling after several losses now?

Secondly, trying to chase your loses is what makes the whole situation worse... Most people also indulge in gambling multiple tickets at once - like wagering on several virtual games with heavy stakes in one round, which could reach up to $500. If none of those tickets hit the jackpot, it's a lose lose for them.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you think about Casinos rewards? on: May 10, 2024, 09:28:24 PM
Casinos are known for having rewards , which are almost the same in all of them and do not differ much. For example, the welcome bonuses that players get after making deposits, free spins, bonuses, etc.
Just like you said, they're basically creating a sense of "partial return" to any player that lost in the game already ( i sighted that instance for already registered users), but for newly registered ones, it serves more like a motivation to make heavy deposits (since you'll only be eligible for a bonus of such depending on how much deposit you make on your first trail)

Quote
Do you research the casino features before playing? Do you find these features useful for the casino and the player at the same time?
I personally don't have any preferred features since I don't gamble, but I have an experience of what a better casino looks like.... Every gambler is either out for reviews on fast payout, unnecessary bugs, advanced fixtures and odds etc...
11  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Non custodial wallet is not for the weak on: May 10, 2024, 09:13:26 PM
Users must take their own security measures that can be susceptible to mistakes and attacks.  I must say non custodial wallet is a good one but one must be ready to take responsibilities privacy, wallet security,  protection against fraud.
From the day you decide to store your coins in a wallet that you control all by yourself, without any third-party, you bear full responsibility of anything that happens to your funds.
Why should anyone not protect their valuables ? Shouldn't it be incumbent on you to do so? I feel so secured and safe having the thoughts that my coins are in my own custody.
You are trying to mislead newbies. If you don't understand a thing properly, don't write about it. Just try learn, and practice yourself before writing an article like this.
I really don't think he meant it that way though.
I think he was more of like - having a feeling that it becomes way too cumbersome to deal with, at some point. (col)
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crackdown on mixers and privacy tools is ineffective: it may even help criminals on: May 10, 2024, 08:56:43 PM
The whole essence of censorships and privacy evasion from the governments isn't about curbing any form of crime whatsoever... That's what they've been using to cover up their tracks and, act like they don't have any personal vendetta against Bitcoin itself.
You see, since every transaction isn't necessarily traceable, they're beginning to tire! The fear that people might HODL so much and that Bitcoin could enrich people in a way that they're richer than the government themselves, which already negates and thwarts their whole effort in fighting against inflation is reallll!!
Secondly, they're just bossy and greedy. Having a feeling that their obnoxious taxes should be extended into the crypto world is the lamest thing they'd ever think of.
I don't get why they think they can stop it. When has the government managed to stop something that people stood behind? They banned alcohol and people continued to drink.
This is just their usual sentiment old boy!
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is it right to invest in Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2024, 08:34:59 PM
Bitcoin isn't like some shitty investments y'all know about.. I keep saying this; if you have an investment plan that you know nothing about, get a mentor. You won't be asking what the right time to invest in Bitcoin is if you really know about Bitcoin.

I'm more concerned about your ignorance on how the system works. BTC right now is already close to ATH, and at this point, it could either decide to retrace or hit the tracks, who knows?
So it's advisable to buy when the price is low - DIP.

15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 13 years ago Theymos sold 160btc at $0.003 per 1, lowest price ever recorded on: May 09, 2024, 09:46:47 PM
It's funny when many people say that if they had known about bitcoin earlier, they would have invested and kept it till now.
Yea — we all know a huge percentage of those people will immediately sell once a drop or some FUD occurs lol. Even I myself wouldn't probably be convinced about Bitcoin's future potential without all those content from the likes of Andreas Antonopoulos to convince me.
Exactly! Alot of people had the opportunity to own so many Bitcoins from its early days but, they took everything they saw/heard for granted. I didn't know about Bitcoin until 2016; eitherways, I never knew pretty much anything else apart from the preferred collective name, "crypto"
It's not about whether someone needed money or sold BTC because they were curious or maybe wanted to be recorded as someone who wanted to go down in history, but about the fact that the OP is wrong when he claims that this is the lowest price at which someone sold Bitcoin. In my previous post, I wrote that back in 2009, Martti Malmi sold as much as 5050 BTC for only $5.02, which means that the price of 1 BTC was only $0.00099.
how in the holy crap was that supposed to be enough for 5050 Bitcoins? Dude had atleast 1.5% out of the 21 million Bitcoins, with which only a million is left unmined. I'm sure that he'll be regretting all his life for letting out a billion dollar asset for some few bucks!

On the other hand, I guess Theymos didn't just wanna put himself in some historical recordings of all times... Maybe he just wanted to try out the p2p network?
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ? on: May 09, 2024, 09:36:42 PM
Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
I haven't influenced too many people to invest in bitcoin and, i think i have a viable reason for that ...
People tend to have a very disgusting mindset - especially those set of people from the rural areas. They'd see everything brought to them like a scam and blame you should anything happen contradictorily.
I keep saying this - if you must invest in anything at all, you must atleast have a good knowledge of what it is and how it works. I remember speaking on the phone with my friend outside the states - and she goes "hey, please could you help me invest and trade my Bitcoins? I've got a hundred thousand"  Tongue imagine that!
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What I experienced since the past two days now on: May 09, 2024, 04:34:41 PM
When it comes to money, many people reveal a completely different side.
off topic: That's the reason why lending out cash to people these days is a work of faith.
To cut this story short, it turned out that my trusted neigboir whom I have few times vouched for to be a bitcoin investor is a online scammer who collect Bitcoin from his victims, until he was bursted 2 days ago, it was around 5am in the morning when the raid happened in our compound, I couldn't say anything about this since there is no concrete information about what he did yet until later.
He's been into that for as long as he realized he could use his cellphone to convince gullible people to sending their coins.. where exactly is the problem then? Who am I to blame for the lost coin, the scammer or the witless fellow behind every wallet?..
If you haven't realized how daft some people can be, now lemme tell you; I saw an intriguing post on Twitter. The dude be complaining about how he's missed the arrangement of a few words in his seed phrase, of a wallet that contains atleast $10k worth of crypto. He decided to drop the seed phrase in (his own arrangement) asking that People helped him.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US senators warn on Iran Bitcoin mining industry on: May 09, 2024, 03:56:23 PM
Crypto mining allows Iran “to purchase imports, move funds domestically and internationally, and fund Hamas” and other terrorist organisations, the letter said, adding that this “ongoing activity by the Iranian government threatens our national security.”
This is among the top three most BULL SHIT excuses I have seen coming from a Government or its politicians to impose more restrictions.
it's sad that Bitcoin, an apolitical p2p coin created to liberate the masses and ensure their privacy - but not against the governments - is slowly turning into a political warhead/missile. Everyday, I keep waking up to another strange censorship stories, all to blut out privacy completely or dampen a country's virtual benefits...

I'm afraid but I'll have to say this; Bitcoin is slowly becoming a political affair. It'll get to a point where we no longer have the system to be decentralized as it used to be.
To me, it's just an exaggeration and an attempt to present yourself with some relevant factors in the fight against terrorism. On the other hand, all those sanctions imposed on Russia, Iran, and North Korea have a very limited effect - because the war in Ukraine proved that Russia uses weapons that have the most modern components from the West.
There's no country that has experienced the level of renaissance in weaponry like those countries you listed.. especially, Russia! They're afraid of them and they wanna mess around to see it cuts!
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mining difficulty drops 6% in largest fall since bear market lows on: May 09, 2024, 03:29:19 PM
With fees no longer compensating are some miners shuting down?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5493786.0
This is exactly the same thing I pondered so hard about... If my memories can serve me well, I think I wrote alot of about it already.
Most independent miners quit as it becomes impossible to make profits - especially after every Bitcoin halving. Just imagine going back to the usual 25sat/Vbyte and a ton of electricity consumption and expenses, roughly beating down the general revenue....  Just appalling!
Quote
Are home miners going to get wiped out by huge companies that have access to investors capital and cheap electricity? Would that be a danger of centralization?
Not totally! I guess the companies would have the upper hand now.
Decentralization? Could you at least be precise on which area? If companies are diving into the business of mining coins at a cheaper rate, it's because they perceive it to be profitable.. That has nothing to do with decentralization.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will blockchain survive the crackdown on mixers and anonymization? on: May 09, 2024, 02:37:46 PM
If you narrow it down to Bitcoin which operates on a decentralized bloclchain, it will definitely survive the attack on pruvxcy through mixers and coinjoin services.
Mhan, what are you talking about? Bitcoin wasn't originally made with some sort of maneuvers like mixers and conjoin as you may have it, these services came in after several years of yearning/struggle for privacy.  Not until several other mixers were introduced with a different motive, this time, to collect dirty coins, swap, mix and release cleans ones.. It's somewhat impossible for the government to investigate where and how those coins were traded, since the mixers are anonymously rooted.
The whole thing will only move most of all services and businesses from restricted countries to crypto-friendly ones. Mixers will no longer be called mixers, they will have a new name, and their founders will do it much more carefully and with more anonymity.
They got butt-hurt for getting censored by the governments... Why didn't they decide to keep their services a secret?
