I reluctantly followed the counsel of a financial advisor to fix my finances in order by creating a budget and tracking my expenses, inflow and outflow of cash using an excel sheet. The economy has been crazy in my country so I needed to do something urgently. My greatest realization after this is that inflation all round is destroying my budget. It's been five months now. I am torn between using my emergency funds or selling some of my assets to cushion the effect of this economic situation. What do you suggest I do?
What are you actually setting up an emergency fund for? I think your current condition is the best moment to use it than you sell the assets you currently have, always use an emergency fund according to what you initially planned, but if you have prepared it from the start for things like illness or death, then just use half of it, not all of it because no one knows human age. Or evaluate the assets that he has, because there are some assets that you don't need like it is just incurring expenses for you. So if you have assets that you think you can sell, and won't hurt any of your financial plans, then better discard it. It is you alone who can determine how valuable is your asset for you, so at the end of the day, you can decide this for yourself. Either way, at least you have your back-up source of funds in case you badly need it. It is always best to have something valuable that you can rely on in times of need. |

I'm hoping to make more BTC so the more bets from now on the more chances of winning. I think that's what I'm going to do now before the bull run takes full speed.
Regardless of which game. To me, I bet on Soccer but I seem to have lost every day. How often do you win in Soccer games if you just bet based on odds by picking a team with 1.50 and 1.70?
To keep making consistent profits from soccer games, you need not to focast game yourself but you need people around to share there knowledge about a certain match so that there opinion can make you filter your games so that can increase your changes it winning. Sometimes you can ask friends around for there predictions about some matches, you will need to scrupulously select those games you think could win and bet some bets on them. That is one of the best way to predict games will high probability of your winning since the results is always uncertain. If you are here in the forum, you can already find threads on every sports you want to bet with. There are so many discussions and you can already get good insights about what may possibly happen to the match. Low odds is not a guarantee that you can win, it still depends on the actual performance of the team. But you can always follow some users here in the forum where they will give their picks and are willing to discuss about it. |

Not entirely sure what made it move like this, but it is obvious that this is a huge increase. I mean thinking that this was under 100 dollars just recently and suddenly it is over 200 dollars is a huge increase. Even though we are at a stage where bitcoin and all others increased, none that went up this much as far as I know so this one seems like a big one. It is not going to be a simple thing to figure out the reason but I would stay away from it as of right now.
Because if you bought it before the increase then you could have profited from it, since you didn't buy it beforehand, that means it might be too late right now and you may end up with a huge loss as well. I would highly suggest not to do that, just forget about it.
Who knows, such sudden increase is a trap? People should be very careful in buying more of this coin. But for those who are holding and they are getting their profits already, why not sell some? At least, you already got your profits from this coin because if you wait too long, it can easily go back to where it was. From the article from coindesk - https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/06/26/bitcoin-cash-price-jumps-to-one-year-high-fueled-by-spiking-social-interest-exchange-support/"Some $92 million in BCH has been transferred in the last 24 hours, compared to $11 billion in BTC, blockchain data by BitInfoCharts show."So in my opinion, better be on the lookout about this forked coin, as the big holders may be trying to cash out good money from here. |

Hello , yes we made a big mistake. we purchased a service to create terms. We proceeded in a question-and-answer format with the person helping to create. but , he copied from someone else. and when we published it on the site, we checked it in detail and removed it instantly. all happened in 2-5 minutes. Of course it's our mistake and we instantly created one ourselves and updated it.
Attracting people's interest isn't this kind of method. If you get a response like the one that has appeared in this thread, then many members will judge that this service is not serious so that it will reduce interest in playing on the platform that you are promoting. I would normally visit websites that just popped up here, but since it's been like this, I no longer plan to open any. Good luck. They really are not serious in rendering services. There are lots of pending questions yet to be answered by this casino. If you look at my previous posts, you would see lots of accusations against them which are factual and here OP is ignoring and keeping silent over it. Coming to tell us that their first 50 registration bonus has ended and would be transferring $2.5 to them. Do they see us as kids to ride on our intelligence? I do not think this is a good strategy for promoting their casino as they have messed up the process and it would be very difficult for anyone here to have anything to do with them. If they are aiming for longer lifespan of their site, they will answer each and every question in a satisfactory manner. Because if they will just ignore some important queries, I don't think they will survive long in this business. A lot of these players will just move on and not use their site if they are not very transparent with things. But as said above, they said they will fix thing one by one, maybe prioritize the vital aspects of the site first. So let's give them the benefit of the doubt, too early to judge how they will handle their site and improve their services. |

Not many new projects can raise million dollars of seed fund from various investors.
And you are still raising funds for your private sale, so what aspect/s of your project you will mainly use those funds?
Also, you can easily spread the word here in the forum by holding campaigns like signature campaign as you have funds in place.
DeFi Staking is not a new venture in this market, but you need to prove also that you can sustain those competitive staking profits.
We will see if your P2P lending will also create noise in the community, and if the required collateral is reasonable enough.
Most p2p lending platforms are asking for collaterals that you will feel there's no reason for you to take a loan anymore, because the required collateral is outrageous.

But do you know that if the lottery is not rigged and is transparent, sometimes a person with only one or two tickets can end up winning while the whales who bought a lot of tickets remain empty handed.
All of this is common sense. Who doesn't know any of this stuff? Miracles keep happening now and then in the world of gambling due to the randomness factor which is why so many small-scale gamblers keep playing lotteries regularly to try and change their lives. However, the chances for someone who purchased many tickets are drastically higher in comparison and they don't really require miracles. What the first user said is very true, and in other words, it's to say that most lotteries are rigged, this is if I was to assume that those who bought a few tickets and those who bought very many tickets all have equal chances, but like you said, those with more tickets does always stand a better chance of winning the lottery, but that has never been a guarantee though. Aside national lotteries, FreeBitco lottery is one I participate in almost every week, many a times I've seen players with as little as 100 to 150 tickets winning the number one spot, which is the highest, while those with lots of tickets end up with the smaller prices. Because luck is in play on this game like most casino games. So the number of tickets you purchased is not the determinant factor to win. But the more tickets you have, the better chance of winning, but as you said, still not a guarantee to win. When you play the lottery, you have this hope of winning, however, need to accept the fact that the chance of winning is still small. So if you are placing bets on lottery, it means, you don't expect that you will win, but you will be happy if you hit one. What I like about government lotteries is that some of their proceeds are going to charity and helping people in need. |

I will not totally discourage a trading signal, that's if a good one is located. There are some that could be trusted, and there are some copy trade programs that are worth joining. But the best is to learn how to trade yourself, after all, you will be using your own hand to lose not that someone would cause the loss of your money.
Still, the question is, how many people have time for trading or can profit from it? It's easy to trade and be successful in your imagination than being practical, which is why they are looking for external help, and I will not blame them.
Buying trading signals can be good and a lot helpful if you come up with the right providers. Otherwise, you are wasting your own money relying from those paid signals that are no longer effective. This is why having trading education is the best key to achieve success and profitability in trading. You need to mold the knowledge within yourself and hone every skill that a trader needs. That way, even if the market suddenly crash, at least you know how to back up your trades and still end up successfully. So far, I haven't encountered a really legit trading signal group that everyone talks about. Let alone those paid trading signal groups. Most of them will exhaust your funds and you won't get anything from it. Learn the basics, slowly acquire some tricks because experience will give you those tips. Because even if someone is suggesting you to do such route, you won't understand up until you apply it in your trading activities. Better be slow rather than in a hurry. You will incur big losses if you will not equip yourself on this market. |

Welp! Me too. I've once become an addict and this is a very common scenario to me. It turns to the point that I myself don't even believe in my own words. Being addicted to something really makes us lose our self control. I remember that I lost multiple times because of just promising myself to stop playing but I still keep playing until I lose so much money. I believe that having weak self control will head you towards being an addict. I'm just amazed on how much I evolved from being no self control to having a pure control of my gambling status right now.
This is how addiction kicks in when you don't know how to overcome the feelings during gambling. Greed and fear make us emotional and all emotional decisions can lead to the bad endings sooner or later. Being addicted hurts but no one is guaranteed to control himself when the loss becomes too big to handle. Controlling your emotions shouldn't be hard if you know what you are doing, IMO. I suggest using specific gambling block software to avoid excessive gambling in the future. Using old phones with number keypads may help as well to avoid entering casino websites. That last recommendation is in fact a very good one, one of the problems today is that we have almost everything that we may want at the tips of our fingers thanks to the use of our smartphones, and this means that someone which may have an addiction problem may use their smartphones to get what they want, however if instead you use a dumb phone then the chances that you will gamble in excess drops considerably, as you will not have the opportunity to do this as you go through a moment of weakness. I have to agree, there are thousands of ways to fund your gambling addiction. People with weak mindsets may use their life savings to feed their addiction but this way is the worst method to take care of your urge to gamble. Some gamblers don't care what it costs but all they want to play more and more. This is not the proper way to survive in today's conditions but that is how their sick mindset works to gamble, unfortunately. If you are addicted to something, you will always find a way how to satisfy such desires. You will be willing to go on some extent just to play, and so trouble may follow you if you won't address it right away. Remind yourself what is important in your life. If it is going to be detrimental when it comes to your family relationships, maybe high time to change your lifestyle. Before it is too late, you need to decide what's important and what's not. |

That's a great addition as it will bring many boomers to try and invest directly in Bitcoin. Some of them were just lazy to google and search how to buy Bitcoin and follow all the steps. I am pretty sure, this change is great for the overall future of the Bitcoin. This also removes one layer of doing extra KYC as the bank already has your information. However, it's not your Bitcoin if they are just keeping it.  They maybe realizing that they can't beat this market, so why not join this market? That is true, some people are lazy doing their job, so if it is under their bank, they will be more confident dealing with btc. Well, that's a good start. Once they realize how to transact with btc and store their own satoshis, they will surely get their btc out of their banks. But with banks doing business with bitcoin, it will surely add credibility to this market especially for previously non-crypto users. Most users who are still not into crypto are still thinking that this market is a fraud or scam, but it is the people who are doing business are the ones who are tainting the image of this market, not the market itself. They will understand this once they got a hold of their own satoshis. |

Since gambling companies are registered companies, is it possible that they have stocks? Is there anyway to invest in a gambling stock? Or let's say gambling related stocks? I am thinking that if this is possible then this could be one of the ways to get the best out of gambling and investment, I can't help but think that most gambling companies in the U.S are almost successful, only little to none run of out business in few years, gambling is a lucrative business, so I need answers if this is possible. Thanks
Yes, indeed you can considering that these gambling companies are registered to SEC. But aren't you curious why investing towards gambling stocks are not gaining any attention by the public and the investors? It's because it's not really advisable especially if you're looking forward to invest in gambling stocks as stocks alone as a whole are much more volatile and much more risky because of its vulnerability mainly when the economy is declining. How can you say that the gambling company stocks are not gaining any attention? If we look at the income of the industry, it produces billions of revenue per year. It is not a dead industry so I don't think no one is interested in gambling stocks. It is not popular to us because we are more focus on cryptocurrency but to people who are interested in gambling company stocks, they can say another story. Anyway, even if gambling stocks gets more popular, I do no think that I will be interested in such market because we are already involved in a market that gives more potential of growth and earnings than the gambling company stocks. So I just did a quick search about gambling stocks, and indeed, they are in the market. However, I believe, most of them are fiat-based casinos/sportsbooks. But in any case, if you will venture in one of them, make sure you have done your homework. Gambling industry is a lucrative one but you still need to check the performance of the gambling company if they are doing good with this business. As you can see below, their revenue is in billion dollars for almost of the top 10 listed. That means, they are truly earning from this industry.  https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/industry/gambling/ |

The best is to place bets before the game has started if you are confident enough that this event that you have chosen to bet on will be a winner and also all predicting websites,news,analyses says the same and back your choice.
I personally prefer to bet on live games as I don't like trying my luck before the game has started,I also choose games that I can watch on live streams,nowadays almost all leagues even low ones you can find stream for them and while I watch the game I create an idea in my mind as what the best bet will be,usually I play with over/under goals most of the time in live games or total goals from a specific team.
Me too, I just want to see how these team will work in the first part of the game and then that's where will I decided to bet . Been doing betting before the game but end up losing, I always bet in esports in which what team will get the first kill etc. But now I realized I let them start playing on live before making decision because you will see the glimpse of their strategies. You may have a point on this, seeing them live will give you a hint how they will perform with the rest of the game. However, expect the odds will change as well. So don't expect too much about the selection of odds. But if you happen to bet before the start of the game and you are seeing a different results once the game is playing, you can always cash out, if the bookie is still allowing you to cash out, at least not losing much from your bet. Because there's only time duration where you can cash out your bet, otherwise, wait for the result of the game. And this decision depends on the sports you are into, and how well you know the athletes involve. |

To be honest, the idea seems quite absurd to me. You're suggesting changing a rule that goes against the very essence of true decentralization, which is what made Bitcoin famous in the first place. I strongly believe that anyone who truly grasps the Bitcoin ecosystem would disagree with the original poster. It's well-known that lost Bitcoins are like gifts to all Bitcoin holders, as they are permanently removed from circulation. I highly encourage you to delve deeper into understanding Bitcoin before considering such an idea. There are numerous aspects and intricacies that need to be comprehended before entertaining such thoughts.
High likely, he will change his approach once he understood the true nature of bitcoin. Those lost coins are lost forever, there's no option of reviving them or transferring it to another address. And that will also contribute to the increasing price of bitcoin in the market as it is lesser than what it should be. With how many coins left in circulation because of such instances of losing, forgetting keys and all, every satoshi will matter to every holder. |

I am not sure how authentic this casino is but after visiting the website it shown very cool game to me and that’s Rock paper scissor. Who imagined the childhood game will be seen on the gambling site and we can make money out of it. Though I am not going to judge the casino right away but the color tone, UI needs to be fixed. They need be HD and more work is needed at the front end. With this they could really attract more clients on the site. I have seen better versions of some casinos who started just like you but they did listen to what’s being commented by the users here on the forum. Hope so you will upgrade everything soon and basically go for relaunch of your casino here.
Other casinos already introduced the rock-paper-scissor, however, they were not successful with their venture. That is true, they need polishing or improvement of the site, it is like the usual cheap script that you can buy. So for me, if you want to try the site, just use small funds so no hard feelings if it is gone for nothing. If they are serious on this business, they will listen to some of the users' suggestions and continuously improve the content of their site, while building their credibility on this business. It would take time for them to get loyal patrons. |

Let me join others to welcome you to the forum and we look forward to seeing you develop and improve throughout the journey, operating a fully probably fair game system is not an easy task, but since you said that you have experiences from your previous projects make it authentic to see you also trying to get them fixed.
But also let give them some breathing space to see how they're aimed at improving their platform.
It is too early to judge about the capability of the platform, but we need to see some improvements in the near future. Also, based on the terms, they will ask kyc if deem necessary. But before they start asking for kyc, make sure they have their gambling license already. Because in case of big winnings and they start asking for your credentials, I don't think it is fair from the player to submit his personal details if you are not licensed yet. But I do like the combination of payment method here, TRX is one of the fastest and cheapest alts that you can use for any transaction. |

To reach VIP rank on a casino the requirements of wagering amount is too big for a casual amount so trying to reach more high rank on a casino is the practical thing to do if someone is having the intention of enjoying the VIP perks like weekly bonus, free spins, etc.
Generally high rollers don't really care about the weekly bonus and other perks cause its like a tip money to them and for those it really matters it tough to attain so don't get distracted by extra perks just enjoy your Gambling in the way you can afford.
I can't imagine how much money must be used to reach that VIP rank. Perhaps, it's because I've never achieved VIP rank at any casino, so I have no interest in achieving it soon. I can't accept too many defeats because reaching VIP rank is bound to meet with frequent defeats. And perhaps, what makes people interested in quickly reaching the VIP rank is that lots of bonuses are waiting for them, so they are like competing to achieve it soon. Maybe those who can reach the VIP rank have a lot of money and are very experienced in gambling, so they deserve it. I also wonder why @OP only state 3, why not 10? At the end of the day as long as we have the fund, it is good to make our accounts matured and reach the highest VIP level since we can get the highest benefits possible for a player. It is also a good thing to make another VIP account on another casino if we are able to max out the VIP status on one casino since every casino has its own set of rewards for VIP. This is like playing with minimum requirement and getting the best possible reward when we hit the maximum rank of VIP in every casino we know. Hard to track down if you have account in so many casinos. I can agree keeping at least 3 will not be too tiresome. Also, if you will maintain several accounts, it means, this is the only thing you are doing in life, gambling. For one, not many people can afford the money spent on casinos as well as the time you are pouring into this activity. Maintaining a lot of accounts will not only drain your money, but your mental health as well. If you are up to it, why not? It is your life and you have the control on what you want to do in your life. But as much as possible, weigh your circumstances. Is this really helping you at all in any way? |

Dana White is certain that he can make it work in the UFC itself, octagon. If that can actually be done ,it is going to be amazing to watch. But I bet 100% that this fight will not happen. They keep talking like this and then they are going to ask their PR firm to find a way to back out with least possible cowardice look, like they wanted to do it but some organization didn't allow them, if only they did then they were so willing to do it. In the end we know that it is not going to happen and we are going to end up with no fight.
However, if they actually do, then my money is on Mark Zuckerberg for sure, he looks a lot more lean and lean guys go down a lot harder, they get tired a lot later as well so that makes it easier for them to go to distance whereas Elon is a bit fatter as we know, and he may get tired and harder to keep going.
These two guys are trashtalking for quite some time now, and I think that they cannot walk their talk. Sure, both of them can easily say that they are willing to take it to the next level and "fight" it out physically, but knowing full well how these guys don't have anything else on their mind apart from expanding their business and making more money, I doubt they'll even free up their schedule for something like this. Especially Elon - that guy's time management is on another level. If it happens, you're right, the money will be on Zuckerberg. Apart from his physique, he's a trained BJJ or karate guy who knows a thing or two about real fighting. Elon is just a fat bloke with a lot of money on his pocket and that's it. I would go for Zuck also on this, if in case their cage fight will be a reality. More news and publicity, and Elon may really take this bait. For media stunt if nothing else. It will help boost his popularity again and so with Mark. At the end of the day, they will be profiting from this media publicity. And if they will allocate the proceeds to a charity organization, that would be a plus factor to their image. |

Lotteries are popular because people can't count.
It's easy for us to calculate probability when something can happen 30% of a time or 10% of a time, our brain gets that, but when you go below 0.1% it really doesn't matter. Human brain sees it as very very low possibility, but existent. Then you can decrease it to 0.0001% and the person will still say that the possibility is very low, but it's there. So the lottery creators make sure you have a very very low chance, like 1 to a few million, and tell you that the entry fee is extremely low, like $1 and you go for it because your brain tells you "what if?"
This is true because on most cases, People is not looking on the probability of winning but rather on the potential prize size they think that they just betting small amount for a chance to win a money that will change their life. I never puchased a national lottery ticket because It’s hopeless for me to think that I will win a lottery with low win rate but I don’t blame other people for pursuing lottery bets since most of the lottery winners are common person that is a dreamer. For me, Lottery is popular not because people can’t count since lotteries winning percentage is very popular as it is always being use as fun fact as the chance of being hit by a lightning twice is high probability than winning a lottery. Lottery is popular because of the huge jackpot prize in an exchange for a small bet same as slot games. And that means, small time players can afford to buy lottery ticket, this is why a lot are buying such dream. Many people are engage on this type of game because they have such belief that one day they may hit that jackpot. So they keep on placing their bets, even it will cost a lil bit from their daily expenses, they will allocate such small fund. And you will be surprised, a lot of them have numbers that they are taking care of for years, and use those to place bet. There's no wrong about such belief, so long you are not using your money to buy your food, and it is your choice anyway. |

also to be cautious of bitcoin high transaction fees. I did a little research on it and found out the inevitability of the high fees.
My problem with these high transaction fees, And who mentioned to you that the Bitcoin fee is currently high compared to what some Bitcoiners spent about a month ago when the transaction fee really skyrocketed? First, I would say that it's not a forceful thing for customers to pay you in Bitcoin; anyone who wants to pay with Bitcoin would definitely and will do so without minding whatever fee it costs. The reason is that some people are still happy to spend their Bitcoin to purchase a thing, but with the current transaction fee, it's not really too much that customers can't afford if they really want to purchase some stuff and pay with Bitcoin ($1 or $0.5). In my shop, I already have some customers wanting to pay with Bitcoin. So, I would just encourage you to accept Bitcoin payments if you want, and some Bitcoiners would still pay and cover the T-fee. Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺 Indeed! There are some customers who are just happy to pay using their bitcoin. Also, there are instances that fees are low depending on the network activity. So just let your customers pay if they want to, anyway, it is not compulsory to pay via btc. And it is up to you when will you cash out your collection. People will pay if such payment method is available. No harm done if you will just post it on your shop about bitcoin's acceptance. |

Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out? Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?
Have gone through most of the comments that are above me and most of them are claiming they won’t cheat any casino, but the funniest part is that most of them don’t really mean it, some of them are just saying it, it’s easier said than done, but when they are in the situation then then won’t even think about it twice. You shouldn’t just judge yourself too early till you are in the situation. How will you feel after gambling with all your money and you keep on losing and you are being introduced to a trick which is going to help you will back your money and some profit, just little people will be able to allow the money go without cheating. Am sure some people which make comments on this thread will be looking for fixed matches, if you are looking for fixed matches it’s the same thing with cheating the casino, I don’t believe most people that are saying they won’t cheat a casino even if they are opportune. And the given example of the OP how to cheat a casino is placing bet on a fixed game. I guess some bettors are really placing bets on a supposedly fixed game. But how sure are you that it is indeed a fixed game? This may happen in sports betting but with classic games such as hi-lo, dice, crash and others, I don't think cheating is possible here. And that I agree with you, for sportsbettors who think they got a hold of such information of fixed game, they will probably place their bets hoping the tip is true. |

The hype of this coin already over and has been take over by another hype coin such as AI coins. If we see the marketcap there so many NFT/METAVERSE coin has no value and disappeared like a ghost. I hope AI coin can perform better than NFT in this year.
The hype is over for Metaverse and NFT, but in the future Metaverse and NFT will always be used by people of the world, it's just that it takes time, and the latest news is that NFT will be used in rockstar games, namely GTA 6, so hopefully that will happen. The hype may not be over but it is waning down. Now, we are seeing which projects can possibly survive. And on this regard, we are seeing that metaverse backed by popular companies are the ones that might sustain their presence. Some examples are MANA, SAND, and APE. But still, if you are an investor on these platforms, you need to update yourself with their progress. And each metaverse project has their own market behavior because it depends on how the team behind it is making progress with their developments. NFT coins on the other hand are still doing good as they have large trading volume, however, a lot of them already exited the market. |
