I don't know about you OP and it's a matter of subjectivity in opinion so please don't get offended, I don't think that buying a television set is a responsible way to spend your money because there's other ways that you could have optimized that money that you've won to further increase your savings via investment of that win into something which is most likely bitcoin for you, the reason why I don't think that it's a responsible way to spend the win is that technology depreciates in value but that's just my opinion, you can always do what you've got to do and it seems that you're much happier than you usual with this purchase so I guess you're spending that money wisely and congratulations to that big win, that's one hell of an odds to get that much money.

No. You actually have enough. Mentality like this can make people undermine what they have and may rather want to sell it out since it’s almost nothing to them anymore. It’s okay to chase more but don’t fail to acknowledge that you’ve tried at least. If you buy $50 worth of Bitcoin, give your self a pat on the back, you deserve it. It’s not always about who has the most Bitcoin. There are other things that matters in life too. Do you not have responsibilities? What if it’s too much that one can’t afford purchasing more BTC.

When a gambling establishment does not violate anything and has followed the rules in the area, then nothing can be reported.
It is entirely the responsibility of parents or closest relatives that those who have problems with gambling or are too addicted are prohibited from getting into gambling.

But, now accessing gambling is very easy with Online gambling, this will not be any filter.
Even underage children can access it easily, gambling games placing bets can be done via mobile phones without the need for any age restrictions.
It's too complicated for now unless there is supervision and restriction from the parents themselves.

Over the years I have seen many speculations about the number of people actually using bitcoin, but none of them seems to be very convincing since the usage of bitcoin and how many addresses each person has varies wildly among its users, as a person could use a single address to accumulate and hold their coins, while another person could use hundreds of addresses, and yet both are valid ways to use bitcoin, however the only thing we know for sure is that the number of people using bitcoin is still increasing.

Well that's not true now is it. It can go only up if the marketcap is zero cents, now i has marketcap of $1.46M so i can see it can drop to zero. Then you can say it has only one way to go. But now i predict it will eventually if not soon fall that 100% like it should. You can find 100+ shiba cryptoassets from coinmarketcap. God knows how many there are if we look at dextools. Imagine people falling this all over just because it has shiba in the name. But it's nothing new. Name based hype has existed since altcoins started.

As gamblers with a long time experience about how these odds are apportioned we all can without stress imagine what the odds difference would be like, The odds for a YES to a bitcoin ETF approval will be very small while that of a NO  that there won't be an approval of the ETF will be the big odd.

 The possibility of having the bitcoin ETF approved is very much possible based on a lot of paperwork's that have been put in place with some legal backing to it's pending approval. No casino will want to take that risk of implementing such bet option in their site as they are aware that on this path they have no hedge as to whatever or otherwise of what the result will be but an eventual approval. Mind you delay is not denial.

And it will still continue to stand, it’s only those who are either looking for reason and means to criticize the existence of bitcoin a that will take what makes the network what it is today as a disadvantage and use it to justify the reason why they don’t want to hold the coin for long, the more one will think it will be high time for bitcoin network to crash the higher it will be going and obtaining more adoption and exposure all together.

It could be said that 2024 is a starter for Bitcoin bulls and many speculations say that ATH will be reached between 2024-2025.
This year there have been many news that make Bitcoin sentiment even higher, such as ETF News which makes the Bitcoin market even more volatile.

The ETF delay was bad news that crashed Bitcoin, but when the ETF was accepted and announced next February it will be bullish again and added to the impending halving.
We need to be prepared for the event, holding back is the best way for now and buying gradually

But if you gamble when you are stressed or feeling sad, you can get deeper into gambling. Even if you lose, you can become more emotional and will not be able to control your emotions due to the loss, so you can be triggered to gamble longer than usual. Just a suggestion, if you are stressed or feeling sad, you should not approach gambling because your emotions will increase because you are losing. But if you can get rid of that stress and sadness by gambling, well, that's up to you, but there is a risk behind it all, and you have to be prepared for the risk and accept it.

I once used the casino you mentioned last year and if I can remember I played on their platform 5 times but didn't have much luck there once I was able to accumulate my initial deposit I withdrew and I never used it since then.
Having said that, I like casinos that provide a comfortable experience but if winning is not involved it could lead to something else cause it's the number one important list of gambling to me which is why I currently use Bets.io and stake since I am lucky with them.

Usually they do that if they are promoting something like a signal group or they are offering a mentoring service. But some only does that to simply brag about the people they know. It might be a good thing if you get inspired and you get successful later on.

You can fail but you will think it's normal. It happens on anyone anyway and on anything that they are doing but it was mostly at first and they can still learn and improved later on. A few can only end up blaming the person that they see sharing only their profits. But, it's good for them. And maybe next time they won't do that again because they are also afraid about the threats that they are getting.

It is not only in futures, trading with lack knowledge is also like a gambling although you trade in spot. We all know that people who trade with lack of knowledge probably rely on guessing the prices. They don't use proper analysis to understand the potential of price moves in the future. But the difference is about the risks. In future, we may lose all money but in spot we probably decrease the amount of money.

Future trading is not for newbies. If we are still newbies, it is better to focus on spot only. If we already get enough knowledge and experience in spot for some months or years, it is okay to try future with small funds. Don't hurry to try luck by trading in future with big money. Although it is not impossible to earn huge money due to luck factor, but mostly people fail to trade with luck-based way.

A bank can go bust due to loads of different reasons. Fractional reserve banking is a major one of them. Fractional reserve banking allows banks to lend out a portion of the deposits they receive keeping only a fraction as reserves. If depositors lose confidence & withdraw more money than the bank can cover it can lead to a bank run & potential insolvency. Other factors such as bad loans, mismanagement, economic downturns or external shocks can also contribute to a bank's failure. A combination of factors can undermine a bank's stability leading to its collapse.

Yeah, the panic selling whenever there's bad news is like a never-ending cycle. It's pretty wild how a bit of FUD can still send everyone into a sell-off. You'd think we'd have learned by now. Bitcoin always seems to bounce back though, doesn't it? Shows that these knee-jerk reactions to things like ETF rumors aren't always the best move. The crypto world's full of ups and downs; just gotta ride it out sometimes.

Only time will tell us if Solana will be able to handle large TPS without downtime. Decentralization is a must for the network to survive a long time. And that is something the project is lacking. At least, Solana isn't as centralized as XRP is. The latter is the "banker's coin" prone to manipulation and corruption. Just like Fiat.

With the way it was designed, XRP might replace the SWIFT system in the future. I'd have to deliver as promised if it wants to reach the whole world, though. The network must handle large TPS without an increase in fees or wait times. I wonder which Blockchain will prevail in achieving widespread adoption worldwide?

Scammers are not alien, they are nothing but normal human like us but they possess this speciality and it's because they think ahead of everyone. Before a scammers will want to develop a model to scam, as they formulate their plans, they already know your next move even before you do and the only way to stay ahead of them is to stay updated.

Our problem is some of us are very lazy to read, we don't want to read and that's why we do the wrong things most of the time. When you read and stay up to date about crypto, yiu will likely have no problem or come across them especially when you avoid greed very well.

In addition, make sure you remain a private person because if information about you isn't online, no way they can every know your moves. It's when you are a public figure, you become highly easy to get through.

Anyone can invest in bitcoin but investing without knowing its investment well is like investing to lose your money. And I don't want you to experience like that, hence gain knowledge on bitcoin first and understand the basic when it comes to investing. Learned from the other members experiences as well as they come to share their profits and losses after taking bitcoin investment. If you are ready to take the risk and is aware already how to secure your wallet, then that's the time that you will invest on the amount you can afford to lose.

since larimer resigned from the EOS, the conflict between devs has gotten worse i think, they were even considering EOS to be renamed Antelope i'm not sure how it goes after that but many of its investors lost interest. the last cryptodunker youtuber who kept shilling this token even quit.

larimer always takes himself out of the projects he started, leaving it to the community doesn't look like its going to make the project successful.

Got goosebumps when you've said that it can be out of our expected jump. I was just thinking of little bump for Bitcoin price that was failed to meet on the last bull run and yes, that's $100k. So it's interesting on how these giants can do to make the demand higher. They're not just simple players that we're having and if approved, this is no longer all about speculative market because they're in as well. I think that there will be that much change on the market when the ETF is approved and they've got a green signal from the SEC.

I agree. Most of them if given the approval, should give it credits to the past ones that have been rejected like with VanEck and SolidX.

I do not give a fuck about anyone. But most of my gambling activities are online and in a way most people in public do not even know that I am gambling. Just my friends and people that are very close to me are the ones that know that I am gambling. But if they see me on a land based casino or betting agent shop, they do not give me money and I do not care about their opinion if not in support of gambling.
