301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What if you have a casino? on: June 14, 2024, 11:29:46 PM
No offense, but your wording doesn't make too much sense, and I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to say. It's very well known that the house always wins. As a potential casino owner, the more traffic drawn to my platform, the better, as I'd potentially receive more people, which equals to more bets and, thus, more money flowing into my casino. Gambling is a huge industry; it's reasonable to believe that there's money to be made; however, the scale usually tips in favor of the casino, not the average gambler.

Edit: grammar
302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A man is unable to collect his price cos he forget where he bought the ticket. on: June 14, 2024, 08:40:10 PM
Unless the lottery ticket was given to him for free or as a gift by someone, if not, how possible is it that one can't remember where they bought their lottery ticket from, or an event that he might have eventually won the ticket?
 
It might take him a little time to think, but it's not something that he can forget completely so easily. If it's a lottery ticket, he should go back to his credit card or debit card purchase history. Maybe he could be able to trace back where he made the purchase of tickets in the last few months.
And if it's a gift, as you claim, how does one confirm it was a gift by a third person who, upon hearing that the ticket was winning, might claim it was stolen by them? It's generally a complex matter, and it's understandable that they're asking questions to verify that he's the legitimate owner of the ticket.

The article mentions doesn't disclose what further investigation the OLG did in order to release the money and send the check; it only implies that it was received well over a year later, while it usually requires 6 to 8 weeks.
303  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance Launchpool, a possible earning opportunity? on: June 14, 2024, 07:17:02 PM
Bitget? Bybit? Sometimes, okx offers good yield too. The thing i do like from binance is Web 3 airdrop and megadrop. I'd rather than pick launchpad or launchpool in another exchange site with fewer people commit to join in.

I remember i was also doing launchpool for notcoin on okx and binance. okx gave me greater yield than binance. Just because binance big and it doesn't mean it's always offering good yield.

This is my 2 cents.
I've seen Bybit and Okx's launchpools, but I've never bothered to investigate further. To be honest, you have a valid point: there isn't so much competition compared to Binance; thus, it's expected for other platforms to offer greater returns. How often are Launchpool projects announced on the other exchanges compared to Binance? I'm not too satisfied with the latest projects; anything after REZ has been pretty much a disappointment. IO.NET wasn't too bad, but they've become a quite rare occurrence over the past few months.

I'll take a look into other platforms as well, but to be honest, I can't be bothered registering on another exchange and moving my funds there.
304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which casino would you trust more: one that requires KYC or one that doesn't? on: June 14, 2024, 04:22:07 PM
To be honest, I don't recall having encountered a casino that didn't ask for KYC at some point, and I mean a full-scale casino, not some crash game like Bustabit. In an ideal world, avoiding submitting your personal details to some random online casino on the other side of the world doesn't sound too bad; some would prefer it for obvious reasons, of course, myself included, for the very same reasons we're deterring users to avoid a centralized exchange. However, casinos are required by law to ask for KYC; thus, one that wouldn't ask would be breaking the law and may potentially use rigged games as well. I may be wrong, but that's how I see things.

The differences between a gambler and a Bitcoin investor lie primarily in their approach, goals, and strategies. A gambler engages in activities like casino games or sports betting, driven by the desire for quick money, relying heavily on chance and luck with outcomes largely dependent on random events. Conversely, a Bitcoin investor approaches the market with strategic planning, informed by market analysis, research, and often a long-term perspective aimed at wealth accumulation. Risk management is a critical distinction; gamblers take high risks without much mitigation, often facing substantial losses, while Bitcoin investors employ techniques like diversification and stop-loss orders to minimize potential losses.

Bitcoin could really improve over time. With advancements like the Lightning Network, transactions might get faster and cheaper. More businesses and institutions adopting it could make it more stable and legit. Good regulations could make it safer by reducing fraud. There are also efforts to make mining more eco-friendly by using renewable energy. Plus, if it gets more integrated with traditional finance, it could become more accessible and widely accepted. So, there's a lot of potential for Bitcoin to get better, even though it will still face some challenges.

Some people think Bitcoin is shifting away from its original purpose. Initially, it was designed to be a decentralized digital currency for everyday transactions. However, due to high transaction fees and slow processing times, it's now often seen more as a store of value, like digital gold, rather than a daily-use currency. Many people hold Bitcoin as an investment rather than spending it. This change in use can be seen as drifting from its original intent of being a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.

The launchpool is only for whales, but even small shrimp can earn pennies by participating on it. As you can see, if Launchpool employed the fair distribution approach. The higher your stake, the more tokens you receive. I have stopped playing on Binance Launch Pad since it is not worth the time.
I would prefer to participate in the launch on a different exchange site. Less users engaged, less money was invested to farming the tokens, and I was able to obtain more tokens than simply participating in the Binance launchpool with very low probability to get decent amounts of tokens. If you were simply betting pennies on the binance launch pool.
How can you meet your daily needs? I meant it wasn't even worth the time. Even those who participated with tens of thousands of dollars received only two digits. You're not joking, right?
So, how much are you staking on launchpool? lol.
Am I missing something here? That's exactly how the lauchpool works, the more money you allocate to farming, the greater the reward, especially if you're using BNB which now accounts for 85% of the total distribution. Where else were you farming that it's yielding higher rewards than Binance? I'm having a hard time believing tha you were farming with over $10,000 worth of coins and only received two digits, because the majority of projects returned more than $40 to $50, with way less than $5,000.
307  Other / Off-topic / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 13, 2024, 08:04:04 PM
First of all, let's start with the fact that the money is truly yours when it's actually in your wallet or bank, whatever suits you best, not your casino account. A lot can happen that may prevent you from actually withdrawing your money, such as account limitations, withdrawal issues, KYC issues, exit scams, and so on. Secondly, having an available balance handy at all times is tempting, which is why I avoid leaving any significant amount on my account.

Supposing that you've won $100, in my opinion, the ideal strategy would be to withdraw at least $70 to $80 and leave some for future bets. In the worst-case scenario, you'd lose $20, while if you decide to have $100 of winnings, you can lose them all.
308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above? on: June 13, 2024, 12:15:03 PM
Five times in a row must be disheartening. I haven't had a similar losing streak in sports betting; in regular casino games, though, I've had my fair share of losses. The majority of which were minor bets, so it wasn't that big of a deal; it's part of the game; however, the one that annoyed me the most was on Bustabit. It was approximately two years ago, possibly even more; I can't remember exactly, and it was my last mBits on the account. My strategy of trying to play it safe and redeeming at 1.10x wasn't too profitable or safer than waiting for greater multipliers. I lost all my balance in three games, all of which crashed at extremely low multipliers, such as 1.05x or even lower.

I was so annoyed that I quit and never returned to that game.

You're really good at nipping them in the bud. I don't know what they're thinking either -- I'd assume its a completely automated process at this point if it weren't for the bits of manually-added BS. Frankly, accounts like this should be nuked. Anyway, let's add a few more:
There's really an abundance of them. It really gets on my nerves to see serious discussions, sometimes on the technical board as well, where people are asking for assistance and see these AI-crappy posts. On top of that, there are users like this one specifically who think they're smartass and better than everyone, thinking he can get away with it and fool us by writing in broken English "i think so" in front of the generated reply. It's honestly pathetic to see the length some people will go instead of attempting to put in a tiny bit of effort.
310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is a fun activity but it has some potential to be profitable sometimes on: June 12, 2024, 05:34:58 PM
The fact is that gambling does not require much effort, almost everything is decided by luck, which no one can predict, and that’s all. The only thing that is required of us is not to lose your deposit very quickly and follow risk management, otherwise you can lose everything by making just one bet. And of course, continuing the topic about those things that we can influence, if a big win ever happens to us, we must be prepared for such an event in advance. Because they must keep this money won, and not sit down again at the same moment, in a week or even in a year. We should spend this money we won and cool down from gambling. And never think that we can be so lucky again; it is this thought that makes many players return the money they win to the casino again.
This is the main issue: gambling is often portrayed as an easy way to earn money, which is why many newer users end up losing large sums of money in the blink of an eye. The gambling scene rarely displays the ugly truth—how fast you're going to lose your money if you're not careful enough. For instance, there are so many streamers, but hardly anyone ever talks about the risks; on the contrary, some of them are even bribed by the casinos to show that they're winning by playing on rigged accounts.

Gambling is fun and everything but we need to exercise caution, otherwise things can easily take a turn for the worst.

Another newbie with AI usage. I really don't understand what they're trying to achieve. He seems to be adding a few words in his sentences or messing their lines on purpose. See the first post for instance "I think you should consider ,Wallet Seed Backup"

He's also purposely messing up his own posts to avoid being detected by AI detectors, similarly to Kryss191. See the second post, it's evident that it's made with AI, but it's not detected until you make a few corrections of missing letters and commas. I would consider this the most severe attempt to "Humanize" AI created posts. You'll see him in a campaign soon enough if no action is taken against.

It's great that you're considering moving your BTC from an exchange to a more secure offline storage solution. I think you should consider ,Wallet Seed Backup

Writing down or engraving the seed phrase on steel is a secure way to back up your wallet. It's crucial to store this backup in a safe and accessible location.
While Electrum currently uses a BIP39 seed, potential changes in standards may impact its compatibility in the future. Storing the master private key as a QR code can be an alternative, but ensure you keep it secure and prevent unauthorized access.

In all, prioritize security, accessibility, and future-proofing when selecting a storage solution for your BTC. Consider your preferences, concerns, and the potential adaptability of the chosen wallet to ensure you can access your funds securely in the years to come.

Honestly, for one to think of quitting his/her job in order to trade Bitcoin.its a no no for me

quitting your job to trade Bitcoin is a significant decision that comes with risks. It's advisable to start trading part-time while keeping your job to see how you fare in the cryptocurrency market before making a full-time commitment. It's also recommended to consult with a financial advisor for personalized advice based on your individual circumstances.

Well,your analysis is quite okay,but you shouldn't see Bitcoin as a form Gamble.
I think the only best time to trade Bitcoin, taking into consideration the ups and downs in the market, can vary based on several factors. However, here are some general tips that traders often consider:

Market Analysis: Before trading Bitcoin, it's crucial to analyze the market trends, historical data, and news that may impact the price of Bitcoin. Technical analysis and market sentiment can help identify potential entry and exit points.

Volatility:Bitcoin is known for its high volatility, so traders often look for periods of increased volatility to capitalize on price movements. This can occur during certain times of the day or week.

Trading Volume: Higher trading volume typically indicates more liquidity in the market, making it easier to buy or sell Bitcoin without significant price slippage.

Global Market Hours: Bitcoin trades 24/7, so traders should consider the trading volume during different global market hours. For instance, increased trading activity during Asian or European market hours may present trading opportunities.

IO.NET was listed today at 12:00 UTC, confirming some speculation articles I read regarding its price, which was expected to range from $4 to $5. Its initial price was pumped up to $5.80 and quickly plummeted down to approximately $4.5. I was so busy at work that I missed the high starting price, but I highly doubt many are able to sell at that price; everything happens in a blink of an eye.

I accumulated approximately 5 coins, which are worth about $20 as we speak—not too bad but not too great either. I'll hold these coins for a while, and I believe there will be a selling opportunity in the near future.

Predicting the future price of Bitcoin is challenging due to its volatility and numerous influencing factors. It's subject to market dynamics, investor sentiment, regulatory developments, technological advancements, and macroeconomic conditions. While some analysts and models attempt to forecast Bitcoin's price, there's no guaranteed or precise way to predict its future transition price accurately.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. It operates on a blockchain, ensuring transparency and security, and is often seen as both a store of value and a potential alternative to traditional financial systems

GPTZero: 100% Probability AI generated
Sapling.ai: 99.2% Fake

Post 3.
Bitcoin was originally envisioned as a decentralized digital currency aimed at providing an alternative to traditional financial systems and enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Over time, several factors suggest that Bitcoin may be diverging from this initial purpose:

Store of Value vs. Medium of Exchange: Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed and used as a store of value, akin to "digital gold," rather than a medium of exchange for everyday transactions. This shift is partly due to its limited supply and increasing value over time, leading people to hold onto their Bitcoin rather than spend it.

Institutional Adoption: Large institutions, including hedge funds, publicly traded companies, and even some governments, are now investing in Bitcoin. This institutional involvement can lead to increased regulation and integration with the traditional financial system, which may contradict the original vision of a decentralized currency.

Scalability Issues: Bitcoin's scalability problems have limited its ability to function effectively as a global payment system. High transaction fees and slower processing times compared to other cryptocurrencies or traditional payment methods have made it less practical for everyday transactions.

Regulatory Scrutiny: As Bitcoin gains popularity, it has attracted more attention from regulators worldwide. Increased regulation could stifle some of the decentralized aspects of Bitcoin and align it more closely with traditional financial systems.

Energy Consumption: Bitcoin mining is highly energy-intensive, leading to environmental concerns. Efforts to make mining more sustainable or shifts to alternative consensus mechanisms could alter the nature of Bitcoin and its community.

While these factors indicate a shift from Bitcoin's original vision, it's important to note that Bitcoin's evolution is also a reflection of its growing acceptance and maturation as an asset class. Whether this constitutes a "turning away" from its purpose or an adaptation to new circumstances is a matter of perspective.

I never had too much Bitcoin—nothing like these stories you hear of people owning hundreds or thousands. It was somewhere between 2014 and 2015; I can't remember exactly, but I recall that I had bought BTC for approximately $350 to $400 per coin, maybe even less than that; imagine that. Being a dumb teenager, I thought that it was expensive. Little did I know. It was approximately 0.45, not sure how much exactly, but probably ranging from 0.45 to 0.50, which was the most I've ever owned till today.

I still have a long way to go to reach what I had in BTC terms back in 2014, and probably not going to anywhere in the near future.

I don't have a specific goal or a specific direction, as you've also mentioned. Money isn't my primary goal either; I don't want to lose money, that's for sure, but I'm neither aiming nor hoping that one day I'll hit the jackpot and put everything behind me. Surely, I wouldn't go through the hassle if the money making aspect wasn't in place, but with the amounts I'm using to bet, I have my expectations set on low, so I'm happy making $20, $30, or up to $50, and it's mostly through sports betting. To me, the most interesting part is managing to predict the matches' outcomes accurately. It feels like a personal win, if you get what I mean.

I wanted to see if such matches are available at cryptocurrency casinos such as Stake or Rollbit. My friend claims he managed to make a reasonable sum of money through these bets and also told me that the group's manager has inside information from some locals in these countries and that he pays a quite large amount of money to receive this information.

The money was distributed through Revolut, something that sparkled with me because they have all your details, including your tax identification number, unless they're using someone else's details.

Unfortunately, it's sad to see the agricultural sector in such a decline. I'm unaware of how much Nigeria is depending on it, but even here in Greece, interest in the agricultural field has rapidly declined the past few years, also due to the extreme rise in tourism. The main issue usually lies with the government. Last year, we had major floods in some areas with huge environmental consequences as well, and farmers saw little to no support, while other areas, such as Crete, had very few rains, which resulted in olive trees not producing enough oil this year.

Unfortunately, it's a very complex issue, and governments are ignoring the importance of agriculture and farmers, by whom our food is grown.

It depends on your skills, interests, and resources.

One option could be freelancing. Platforms like Upwork, Freelancer, or Fiverr offer opportunities to showcase your skills and connect with potential clients. Whether you're good at writing, graphic design, programming, or any other skill, there's usually demand out there.

If you're more into creating content, starting a blog, YouTube channel, or podcast might be an option. While it may take some time to gain traction and monetize, it can be a rewarding way to showcase your expertise and potentially earn income through ads, sponsorships, or affiliate marketing.

I agree that the tech war is an important aspect of world affairs, and it's easy to get distracted by the noise while the real battle is taking place behind the scenes.
 The concept of cracking the price of BTC  to win this war is intriguing, and  raises questions about the role of cryptocurrencies in  future financial and power trends.
 The idea of ​​legalizing BTC without KYC (Know Your Customer) regulation is intriguing, as it could  democratize access to the financial system and create a more level playing field.
 Integrating complex algorithms and BTC education into the education system could be a game changer, especially when it comes to preparing the next generation for a world where technology and finance are increasingly intertwined.
  The idea that BTC has become the best long-term investment asset is currently debated, but there's no denying that it has sparked a global debate about the future of money and power.
 Your comment about the transfer of power from older people to younger people is particularly insightful because it highlights the potential of technological advances to break down traditional hierarchical structures and create new opportunities for those  willing to adapt and learn.
 The question of who will be the future rulers is troubling because it implies that there will be winners and losers in this technology war.
 It reminds us that we must recognize the consequences of our actions and strive to build a more fair and equal society in which the benefits of technological advances reach everyone.
