Depends on how much you do earn because you cant really make out savings if you do earn which is only sufficient on your daily living needs which you wont really be having the chance on saving up just because you
do only earn ample amount just enough for you to survive this is why you should really be mindful on how to make out some budget plus trying out to make or find for another source of income which it could possibly
make you things to save up for later.It might sound so simple but this is something that you cant really just do because there are things in life which is really something inevitable.
Some people are really just good on criticizing other peoples actions without minding that it isnt really that very easy to do so.
I get your point and there are people who really can't just go and do things the way others think that they should be doing, there are factors and a kind of mindsets that they are not good in doing, though it will be depends from how you as individual see about it and think about saving, the eager you are the better you will find ways to establish your future financial capabilities. Saving portions of your salaries will give you a decent amount in the future, if you can really work on it and make sure to yourself that you will aim for that to happen. The outcome is always in favor of you. A lot can't afford to save something from their earnings as it depends on your income and basic needs. But if you can, save a lil bit every once in a while, and before you know it, it is already significant amount of money that you can use later on. Saving sometimes depends on the person himself. Some can save money even if they have small income. Look for unnecessary items that you usually buy and instead of buying it next time, keep the money as savings. You can also track where your money goes if you list your daily expenses, though a tedious job but you can pinpoint where you are just wasting your money. |

Casinos are setup as mazes to try and keep you in them. They also have women dressed scantily clad and a lack of clocks. These things all contribute to people spending more time in casinos than they might have otherwise.
this reminds me again of a documentary I watched years ago on how supermarkets, convenience stores, etc...(I am sure this technique can be done in casinos too) use our subconscious against us by placing certain items in certain areas that would make us stay longer in their stores without us even noticing. What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?
using it as an escape or a coping mechanism from all the problems and stressed people experience. I've read an article about it before. Just like how there are people who use alcohol/drugs as a coping mechanism to their problems, there are also people who use gambling as a coping mechanism. That's what you called marketing techniques. Not only casinos but every business such as supermarkets, malls. They know how to keep your interest without you knowing that you are already hook in their marketing propaganda. That is true what you said, most people who got addicted into something is like their coping mechanism to escape from their reality. It is now on the person himself how he wants to live his life but usually he needs understanding from the people around him especially his family. |

Each banking system has its advantages. The advantage of decentralized banking is that you are the only one under the control of your keys, as stated by OP, so theoretically nobody can touch it, besides you.
However, in case you have your wallet hacked and funds are lost, it will be much harder and even impossible to retrieve it, while at centralized banking system, transactions are reversible and you can count with the help of bank managers to track your money and rescue it back to your account. On the other hand, if a superior order comes from the government seizing funds, even the managers won't be able to help you keeping your money in your hands, as they will comply with requirements from their superiors.
You have to measure the pros and cons of each system and make your choice based on your analysis.
Truly, both have pros and cons and sometimes even crypto users can't avoid the use of banking system. If you have mortgage, more than likely, you need a bank account as it is a requirement for this transaction to push thru. But if you feel you have nothing to do with banks, and just use crypto or btc to go on with your life, why not? Remember, each one of us has own priorities, so it depends on us if we do need bank or btc only or both. |

anyways
he plead not guilty and trial set for 2nd OCtober 2023
and so the drama will die down until then
That's a long wait for the trial, SBF's camp will already formulate how to get out of this mess by that time. And also, they may resolve this silently, this will be unfortunate for all those users who lost their funds from this exchange. It will be a long trial and I don't think SBF will return the money to its users. It will be another sad reality in crypto business. I was really thinking that SBF was on the level of Vitalik/CZ when it comes to business/technology mindset, seems very far from both of them. |

Which of these categories do you belong to and why?
Then, I am a lone sports bettor. I don't rely on others opinion, I do my own research and analysis before making bets though it's not that a regular thing for me. Do lone sports bettor be a team sports bettor too? What's your take on this? There is no reason why a lone sports bettor could not also be a member of a team or community of sports bettors. Some people may prefer to make their own decisions based on their own research and analysis, while also seeking the perspective and insights of others.this can be a helpful way to get additional perspectives and ideas, and it may also help to validate or strengthen one's own beliefs about a particular sporting event. However, it is important for a lone sports bettor to maintain their independence and to make their own decisions based on their own analysis!!rather than blindly following the advice of others. Ultimately, the most important thing is to make informed decisions based on all available information, rather than simply following the crowd!!! Yes, you can always be a member of the group of the sportsbettors specifically for the sports you are interested with. But it doesn't mean, you will always follow their suggestions because you are only getting their insights on certain event. This is the same as reading the predictions of some sports sites, which I also do before I bet on certain sports. Though I already have one in my mind, but reading others' opinions will give you outside perspective from yours. In this case, I am more on a lone bettor but I do read opinions, discussions from others, just like also when you read discussions on sports in this forum. |

I don't think that dogecoin is dead. Do you think that dogecoin is dead after all those times where Elon Musk brought influence to those people who believe in dogecoin. Elon Musk does have influence to some people especially about dogecoin. As long as dogecoin have uses and also influence then dogecoin will stay the same as it is. I agree that some people are not influenced by Elon musk but we can't deny that there are some people who follow elon musk. It is also trend in this forum in my opinion as it is discussed many times.
Elon Musk always brings his own contribution to support crypto by providing information to his followers and to this day there are still many who believe in what is said even though not a few ignore it. So as long as there are people who believe in what Elon Musk says, it seems that Doge will not be neglected, let alone die. true friend, it must be remembered that doge is also still very popular and still useful, because there are still many who make investments, it cannot be ignored because it is real. the current situation alone is indeed not good, doges can't avoid it either, let's see later when the halving period is about to take place, surely doges will also be able to improve. I think, those who are thinking doge is dead are the ones who jump on doge when its price was at its peak. Because if let's say Musk will not promote doge anymore, it may just go back to where it was before. I was enjoying very very cheap transfer fees when doge was not yet promoted by Musk. I believe a lot of traders were using doge for transfer purposes before, but right now, there are cheaper alts for this purpose. But it won't be dead, its price may go down but most trading platforms will still list it. |

I want to know more on how to withdraw bitcoin from my wallet and the some one should please guide me for the trusted wallet I suppose to use
The first replies on this thread is more than enough to solve this problem like what d5000 stated on his reply. Install electrum wallet in your laptop/desktop as it only needs small space, go to the official website to get the file as he posted the link also. Once installed, get one receiving address from the receive tab. I know, most newcomers are scared that they will mess it up. If you want to make sure you are doing it right, transfer small amount of btc first, like the min withdrawal of the site. This was what I did when I was just starting. Test first. Once it goes thru and you can see it in your wallet, you can now transfer the rest of your money. And then, to convert it to your fiat, one very good platform is binance p2p (but you need kyc to use this), if you are hesitant that it won't go thru, transfer small amount again. Trade your btc with USDT, then transfer your funds to funding to trade p2p - select your fiat in their p2p list. You can directly receive it to your bank or other payment options available in your local currency. |

I will always convert my Reward Points when I reach 100K no matter if I have to wait a little longer to reach 100K again, because just letting it sit doesn't give any benefit and it would be better to save in satoshi here to get daily interest even it's not big .
The second option, in my opinion, is just wasting our collected RP which is not easy, choosing satoshi or FUN Token if you want to activate the RP bonus is much more profitable because choosing WoF can only get small and not worth it at all, the precious ones we have to save and choose not something based solely on luck like WoF.
I can agree with this. Whenever I will reach the 100k mark again (currently at around 90,000) than I will convert them so I can profit from the interest also. Even if you don't have referrals and don't really place bets or play the Hi-Lo game, your RP go up pretty fast with the WOF spins. Most of the time, I convert my RPs to claim Free BTC bonus or Free Fun Token Bonus. Those satoshis that I earned from free rolls, I usually use it in the monthly betting for the crypto price. If you are not very active in playing, hard to achieve the 100K RPs but of course, it is possible. If you have nothing to do with your earned satoshis, you can really just wait for it to earn some interest as they only have minimum of 30k sats to earn daily interest. What I am seeing here is that freebitco can still keep their loyal patrons throughout the years. |

Suppose I am doing business through an online Facebook page and website and want to accept Bitcoin. But now if I look at cryptocurrencies it comes with high volatility, and I have doubts whether accepting Bitcoin will be profitable for my business.
I really want to know your opinion on this and what are the initial steps I should take if I adopt cryptocurrency for my business? Because I see many people on the forum are taking steps to accept Bitcoin for businesses and that's why these questions araised in my mind.
If you cant bare up the volatility of Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies as a whole then its better not to stress yourself out on accepting it on your business.Volatility could neither be your enemy or your friend. If you are that someone who do goes for long term and dont mind about volatility and wont be actively using up those fiat conversions and would be willing for those profits to sit on crypto form then it wont really be bad on accepting Bitcoin but if you dont like that movement or doesnt really like to see that profits is going down or lesser then its better not to proceed with this plan.Its up to your own choice yet you could see that there are already lots had been accepting Bitcoin or crypto payment into their businesses. Yes, it depends on how he look at btc market as a potential payment method on his business. If he is worried about volatility but still want to accept crypto, maybe he can go for stable coins. The volatility in btc is still here and won't go away anytime soon, so he should really consider his options on this move. If he doesn't want to lose but still want to accept btc, he can always convert this to his fiat once received but it would be a tedious work for him. The OP needs to contemplate on why he is doing this move, is it just because he wants to be in and say to his customers that he is accepting btc or does he believe in btc as a good alternative in payment method that he can offer to his clients? |

Not only unsafe, but it is also so lame as an idea. Gambling sites that are to be trusted with our money are not many, and the regulations of the industry are still weak as far as I am concerned, except for some that are in advanced countries. Regardless, it is safe to keep our coin in our trusted wallets, not with the gambling site that could do and undo it.
So gambling sites are even involved in some shady deals like money laundering and others, such will not have a conscience in stealing your money too. Aside from that, what if the government overseeing their domain now shot it down, then your money is gone just like that.
It is lame if you will use it like a wallet when there is already a crypto wallet but not really lame when you do it for a purpose like you are earning some dividends but I salute those who have a balance inside the gambling site that is unused for a very long time. This only means that these people can defy the temptation caused by gambling. If only regulations are strong in crypto gambling then scam gambling sites will get lessened but I think this is being worked out now. Have you noticed that KYC's are now being implemented left and right? But maybe after this, many people will be confident to store their money thinking they are now safe. Even if they are already regulated and asking for some KYC then i cant still bare out to store my funds on any platform.Nothing beats out if you do make use of those non-custodial ones considering that you do still have the full control.No matter how regulated they would be, it doesnt assure that you could get your funds back in case there are some huge trouble involving with these platforms. I do believe that those fellas who do leave out those huge funds on a casino site for a long time are those people who had just totally forgotten that they do still have funds there. Its impossible that you would be leaving out something like that without trying out to turn yourself back. It is indeed not advisable by all means to leave funds for long time in gambling sites. Some sites can collect your funds or have handling fees if you have a dormant account, so better check that out also in their ToS. I can understand if the user is actively playing on the site or is participating their investment options, why he has to leave some funds. With what we are experiencing up until today, even big and reputable exchanges can fail, it is also the same with casinos or bookies. So if you will not be playing on the site, better send your funds to your own wallet. Even if you say, the site is licensed and reputable. |

@Cryptolottery.BET You should definitely work on creating a proper T&C agreement that covers everything about your offer and services in the same way that other casinos have done it. Do you have any bounty or airdrop? It's not an ICO, it's a casino. What do you expect them to airdrop to you, bitcoin? They have a faucet you can claim once a day. Read the help page for more information. As you said, there is no airdrop or bounty, but we could start a campaign here on Bitcointalk and there is always the affiliate system which is also going to be improved for a more rewarding program. Regarding the T&C since it does not include terms related to licensing, KYC, etc. It may be shorter than other casinos, but it includes the main and important information. I have requested that details on deposits/withdrawals be at least added, and we will improve the whole thing in the meantime, thanks for your suggestion. If you are thinking about signature campaign in this forum, you should consider it running for several weeks not only a week or couple of weeks. Before doing so, much better if you will do other improvements in your site, as by looking at it, you still have a lot to improve on. Pls add FAQ also. You can't expect something would drastically change upon introducing your campaign, as it would take time before the players will notice your site. Also, look for other marketing promotions that you believe are more sustainable in the long run. A regular contest may keep some of your patrons. |

Kids these days have different way of thinking compared to us before. And their interest might have also been shifted like they focus more on drama and horror movies, gone are the days where cartoons and comedy are the kids favorites. However, I haven’t been interested in Oscar’s betting even before, although I love to watch some of these movies but I have not thinking betting on them.
People and kids are not much interested in award these days - they are more interested in games and action movies. And we were more interested in awards. The trend is changing. I remember we were so interested in awards and we knew who got what award. I believe, most people are not really interested when it comes to betting like this kind of global award. Though of course, we are interested to see those movies in the list like the Avatar as it grossed billion dollars in the cinemas. Not many people are into betting as this kind of award is usually dependent on the judges' mood and criteria. And the public doesn't know about such considerations, we are more on which movies are worth spending money inside the cinema. Some of us are still interested on who gets what? But to the extent of betting on this, I believe not are keen on doing so. |

I just need to find a trustworthy sportsbook who will not only accept the bet but pay me too.
These are some trustworthy sports betting sites that you can choose from. 1) Sportsbet.io 2) Stake.Com 3) Duelbits.Com 4) Fortunejack.Com Check out this thread if you want to know about withdrawal fees or minimum withdrawal amounts->> Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal AmountsI've heard and read too many horror stories.
Check out this list of shady casino and sports betting sites to stay away from: -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5283832.0That's a good list to start with. The OP is already here in this forum so he can very well check the gambling board itself for these sportsbooks. By the way, this topic should be moved to the gambling discussion board - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=228.0He will find out that in this discussion board, there are too many information already regarding these bookies as well as their reputation's status. Sure, there are some shady casinos and sportsbooks, but there are still good sites to send your bets with. Also, I can understand that based from the poll, most gamblers are spending more on sportsbetting. Because if you know more about a certain sports, you will be more confident in placing higher bets, as compared to casino classics based on luck. |

Like I said, I promise not to rug-pull on any users. I've also been transparent about who I am on the website, so my reputation is on the line.
Please anybody let me know if there's anything else I can do to increase my reputation.
If you have received a signature campaign by one of the sites, then you don't need to think about increasing your reputation in this forum. Your job is only to carry out promotions as it should be for other members who use this forum to be able to attract or make other members interested in what you have promoted. If you really want to improve your reputation, do it by serving and providing comfort to users who visit your site. Though he posted profile on the site, it doesn't mean he can easily earn credibility on this site. It would take time before people will be comfortable sending money to this game. Because at a glance of the site itself, it is not the interface of a regular casino, it is more on leaning a casino with short lifespan in the business. We don't know how this will progress in the coming days, but sure, he has all the time to build his reputation for this project. But based from my experience, I have seen such similar concept of game not to survive long or not attracting enough players to sustain this business. |

I don't know which casinos are popular on this forum. My listing is based on my experience. These casinos that I listed pay players' winnings and also pay their affiliates for their effort. Which I can't say for some "popular casinos"
If these sites has been existing for as long as 20 years as you claimed then there at least needs to be one or two that people are very familiar with on here. Which brings further doubts as to whether they've been really existing for that long. Iadegbola34 i think you are misundedstanding things here and if you have beung following uo on the discussion you will find no one that has mentioned 20 years existing casinos even though there is the possibility of old casinos, that havd been around for that lo g but I dint know of any casino that is up to 20 years. Seems that the OP is not updating this thread or his list from the site. If we really look at his list, we are not familiar with those casinos. If some of them are in the gambling business for years already, maybe some started as fiat-based and then later on added crypto in their payment method. As the OP has not visited this thread for more than 5 months already, we don't know if he is still interested in adding more on his list, with some popular sites coming from this forum. |

This is the usual scenario for many gamblers, they keep on chasing their losses with a hope that they can get it back but in the end, they lose more because of this greedy action. In gambling once you lose the money you should not chase it anymore because luck is not on your side and you might lose more. Just gamble the money you can afford to lose, have a budget on that and stick to that budget.
Just sleep it off, and just go back to your games when you think you are emotionally refreshed. If you will revenge your losses, this will incur more losses as your emotions are at peak and you may not be thinking logically. It is true that this scenario is typical for gamblers who want to get back their losses. But it is not advisable if you will get back using borrowed money, with the main aim of recovering it. You will incur more debt and you are just digging your hole in this activity. Remember it is gambling, and winning is not always on your side. And if you are playing those luck-based games, keep in mind there is HE and luck, just few factors that will not guarantee your winnings. |

Renouncing the contract won't assure that the project will be successful in the coming days. As you have seen, new meme projects have short lifespan in the trading market. What do you think will set this project apart from other meme projects? Sustainability is hard to achieve these days, even non-meme platforms are striving in this current market. I don't know how long can you publish your financial updates, but do you have private investors on this project? |

I can only count the number of times I bought a lottery ticket. I put all my hopes into it but when I didn't win, I already forget there was hope for it.
Even the scratch lottery, I once thought of buying some of it while in a mall but it's always going to occur in my mind what are my chances of winning. And I stand correct not to play such games.
But I have no doubts that there are people who are lucky enough to have won millions in lottery. Yet we also know they have spent a lot of money buying tickets.
I have the same thought also when it comes to lotteries, and very rare that I did purchase lottery tickets. But during those few times, you can really feel the excitement of knowing what numbers were picked. Maybe, just the thought of what if you got lucky with some numbers and get the consolation rewards. And if I may add, most national lotteries are of course government-owned, and one benefit that I believe the OP forgot to mention is that some part of the profits are channeled to charitable works or to charity organizations. So for me, I am not against with lottery games, I may not be playing as frequent as others, but if they can help other people, I have nothing against with this gambling game. |

It depends on how you look at it, on a "sum it" basis it would be like this if you compare it to how it was 50 years ago:
Extreme poverty: According to data from the World Bank, the global extreme poverty rate (defined as living on less than $1.90 per day) has fallen significantly in the last 50 years. In 1970, nearly 50% of the world's population lived in extreme poverty, compared to about 8% in 2020.
Education: Access to education has improved globally in the last 50 years. In 1970, less than half of the world's population was literate, compared to about 86% in 2020. Primary school enrollment has also increased significantly, with the global primary school enrollment rate reaching 91% in 2020.
Healthcare: There have been significant improvements in healthcare around the world in the last 50 years. For example, global life expectancy at birth has increased from around 62 years in 1970 to 72 years in 2020. Child mortality rates have also fallen significantly, with the global under-five mortality rate decreasing from about 146 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1970 to around 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2020.
Technology: The last 50 years have also seen significant advances in technology, which have made many aspects of daily life easier and more convenient. For example, the widespread adoption of the internet has made it easier to access information and connect with others, and advances in transportation and communication technologies have made it easier to travel and stay in touch with people across long distances.
Of course, these improvements have not been distributed equally around the world, and there are still many challenges that the world faces. For example, income inequality remains a significant issue in many parts of the world, and climate change and environmental degradation are posing significant threats to the planet.
With what you enumerated above, we can say, we should be grateful for what we have today. People should look at the bigger picture and compare the way of living decades ago, and they will appreciate what we have today. Yes, we are experiencing inflation and other things, but that's part of the struggles of humanity in the current setting. I can say, we are living a much easier life in today's generation. We have more options to survive as one click over the net, we can get some answers and insights on basically everything we can think of. For me, we should be thankful that today's technology is giving us more opportunities to live comfortably. I believe a lot are discarding those facts that you mentioned and they are too focus on what they are dealing today. |

Many people on this forum don't like the existence of centralized exchanges and they consider it garbage, yes centralized exchanges are risky but it is really necessary for us. I also believe that Binance will not die but will become stronger after this Fuds chain ends. Even if Binance collapses, other centralized exchanges will develop, and it is always necessary for us, we should not deny that fact. As long as we use it wisely, we will be safe.
I don't think there are many people in this forum who think that way of centralized exchanges, because other than that I haven't done any research on it. Not all centralized exchanges are trash so everyone shouldn't think centralized exchanges are trash because there are plenty of centralized exchanges that are still very good to use. Anyway it wouldn't be logical to think of it as trash just because of one or two centralized exchanges that have gone bad at this point. To be honest, a lot of us are still relying our trades in some of these centralized exchanges. For those who are saying all CEXs are trash, for sure, at one point they are also using their services. One of the important service right now for me is the P2P offered by some of them like binance and kucoin. Their rates are better than my local crypto-exchanges, and it is quite easy to transact also. But sure, we should keep in mind that we should not store our funds to these exchanges, no matter how reputable they are. It is always best to hold your coins in your wallet, where you are holding your own keys. I don't think it is fair for some of them to be identified as garbage, if many people are benefitting their services. |
