I honestly think that it is not a good idea to do something like that. I mean why would you want to start an NFT/crypto project like that in order to make more money, developers are insane to think that this is a normal way of making money. I get that they can, but just because you can doesn't mean that you should. I could also pick up a gun and go rob a bank, but try to guess why I do not do that? You think jail is a good reason?

Well, what you think will happen when people realize that you rug pulled them? I mean you just took their money, and assume will not achieve much else, and just claim you "spent" it on marketing when in fact you would be personally spending it. This is why we should be a lot more careful about these type of people.
Yes, they are doing that to make money but even the old and serious projects are also here to make money except only for the founder of Bitcoin which aim is only to help people to be free from the slavery of banks and governments.

Shit coin developers don't care if what others think about them but they will only do what they want to ride the hype train. They can rob a bank but that is risky as they can likely be caught while if they do scams here, they can easily get away. Thanks to the power of crypto decentralization. If people don't want to be rug pulled, they must avoid these type of tokens because rug pulls are quite rampant with them.

Removing the sponsor's names from the shirts most likely won't change anything. I don't know anything about the rules of gambling advertising in the UK. Are the TV ads of betting companies banned in the UK? If the answer is no, then the amount of gamblers won't decrease, even if the football clubs remove the gambling logos from their shirts. I don't know why the football clubs decided to do such thing. If there's a serious problem with an increasing number of gambling addicts in the UK, the British government must step in and do something about it.
If the brand is already famous then yeah, there is almost no change because people already remember them and will still play on their website. They can't only get those new players who only watch TV and live games but are not active online to be able to see their ads because gambling companies can still promote their brand online if they can't promote on live games anymore.

Maybe UK allowed TV advertisements before because live games are also telecast on it but they are now banning it maybe because the number of gambling addicts in their country have increased drastically. That is one of the steps that their government is taking in order to combat the issue.

is there method to get 100 $ per day
Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I mean, gambling is all about luck, right? It's not exactly a reliable source of income. I've heard of some folks trying to make a daily profit from casinos or bookies. And hey, it might work out for them - at least for a little while. But let's be real, most people end up losing more than they win at the casino. You'd have to be really good at it and have some serious luck on your side.
Maybe like you, he also heard that someone can make daily profits out of gambling and that is why he is here asking if 100 USD is possible. I can believe more in making it out of bookies more than the casino games because in bookies there are match fixing that can happen and if you know someone who are connected with it, you can surely benefit.

There are also different strategies like arbitrage betting which can make a bettor win all the times but it can make their accounts limited if they get caught. Meanwhile this are not possible in casino games. All you can do is to hack the games but only few can do it. Not to mention that casinos security are robust, for a hacker to access them.

Of course, Adam has been supportive of bitcoin and he has tons in his wallet, so not surprising t hat he will be so bullish about the price at the end of the year. But the best thing to do for us, barring all circumstances is just to wait for it. If the price reaches as what he has predicted then good for us. Specially if we have been accumulating bitcoin this bear run.

And with that we are all prepared for the eventual bull run in 2024-2025.

As what the majority is seeing, a cool $100k will upon us next year, so just have the patience and again, stacks sats.
Not all those who have a Bitcoin on them are bullish but some are bearish too. Manipulators are bearish as well if they want to dump the price but they are bullish if they want to pump the price. We started the year with an increase and it continue until this point but we must not be confident and say that this can continue till we end the year.

Remember some years we have on the past, the first half are also bullish but the second/final half are bearish but there are also years where the first half are bearish and then the other half is bullish. Many of us are now prepared next year but for those who are late, a dump is a good thing for them to stock up coins.

In dealing with cases like this, the approach to the family is very important, moreover the encouragement from the family to be able to provide encouragement and understanding to change is the most important thing to be able to change someone from their bad habits, including gambling addicts.
But if I understand cases of gambling addiction, it is indeed very difficult to cure and only certain people can completely recover from gambling addiction.
I myself am not sure that a friend of OP can recover completely, maybe he can stop gambling for a while but there is still a possibility that in the future he will return to gambling again.
It's only easy to say but it is actually hard to do because when we are dealing with gambling, we try to make it a secret to the people around us. We are ashamed if we are addicted already or we are scared to be judged and hated if we are only getting started.

We can go to the psychiatrist on our own or the other people who are expert about this matter if online solutions and advices doesn't seem to help. The difficulty to be cured will depend on the severeness of those who experienced it. This is why it's better to treat our conditions as early as possible or once you start feeling the signs of being an addicted gambler so that you can recover easily.

Many times we see in news and articles about market manipulation, after that i think, why this trend lines and indicators matters,

do institutions are also following indicators and trend lines? yes, manipulation but that manipulation is for liquidity grab.

but after all they also predict by trend lines and indicators? why trend lines matters?
Even without those news and articles about the market manipulation, trend lines and indicators are already there long time ago. They are part of trading and trading analysis. They are very important that every professional traders are using them in order to improve their trading performances but it is still great if you just realize their importance lately although it's normal for a newbie in trading to disregard them at first as they look complicated and we all know the newbies, they always rush to do trading and make a quick profit.

Institutions are mainly investors but if some of them are into trading then yes, they use indicators and trend lines too because they are professional.

It's a mindset that most of the time lead the gambler to lose everything, thinking that the bigger the bankroll the better chance of winning but in reality without good control of your capital, the chance of losing everything is possible, betting strategy is more on how you handle all the emotions and how you practice all your game plan, executing your plans is very important and not to allow any emotions as it can take you to wrong decision making.
the mindset of using a large bankroll is of course that gamblers will also increase the number of bets which makes the bankroll run out quickly.
I mean when a gambler uses a small bankroll say $ 100 and uses a minimum bet of $ 0.1 it will definitely last longer on each bet to get a lucky chance.
but when a gambler uses a large bankroll, for example $ 5000 but with a bet amount of $ 100-$ 200 it will run out faster. because a big bankroll definitely has the mindset to win big with big bets too.
and as far as I know, the faster the bankroll runs out, the more difficult it is to manage our bankroll, the more difficult it will be to find opportunities for luck.
Increasing the number of bets does not make the bankroll run out quickly but can actually make your bankroll last longer because you are budgeting it to be able to make more bets. The one that can make a bankroll deplete quickly is if you are betting in bigger portions but this can also happen if you have a bigger bankroll.

The explanation is because you are confident, thinking you still have more left even if you lose but you will only be shocked once there is only a small amount left in your balance. Another explanation is we are prone to rage betting once our early bets won't hit but we all can avoid it if we only have a minimal bankroll.

Betting and Gambling are fun activities were there many options to bet or gamble on, but people Play and bet/gamble on sports/games that they have good knowledge about and offers them entertainment and fun. In my opinion that is how it should be, that is bet/gamble on sports/games that you have interest and knowledge in.

Betting/gambling on sports/games that you have interest and knowledge in will increase your chances of winning.
Betting and gambling are the same thing but I think the term betting is often being used in sports while I often see the term gambling in casino games but both of them are fun and highly addictive so one must be cautious and always read tips online on how to avoid it.

We can also seek advices locally from our friends or family as they might have more experience than us. If all what we want is to enjoy then it's fine to play any game that you don't have a knowledge with. Their randomness can sometimes add more fun but if all what we want is to possibly win a profit then it's best to play the game that you know really well preferably sports betting.
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: April 20, 2023, 12:46:53 PM
There are many types of lottery in the gambling industry, which one you are referring to? Is it a lottery where you pay for each lottery ticket with fixed price   such as powerball, or lottery where you earn the ticket by wagering in a casino such as the one in Stake or something else?
He just said online lottery and since this is a crypto forum, obviously he only want crypto lottery sites. There are many types of lottery but the most common one is the game which has 6 numbers involved. Getting all 6 correct numbers is close to impossible but if you hit them all, the prize is also generous.

Lottery tickets usually has a fixed price but you can be able to buy more tickets in order to increase your chances of winning. The one you said there about wagering a ticket and earning a raffle entry is different from the actual lottery game although their odds are close to each other. I too haven't won anything from them but they are fun because you are playing two or more games at the same time.

Certik's cryptocurrency project shared a compelling piece of information, revealing that over 25% of individuals who fell victim to fraud in 2021 reported it began with a social media ad, post, or message. To stay informed and vigilant, this thread will delve into the most frequently occurring types of social media scams. Find the original tweet from Certik here: https://twitter.com/CertiK/status/1648023930370682888?t=8TKfQ-KFhrJvxPc34-dVGg&s=19
25% seems lower compared to the previous years. This is great as it shows that people are now learning and maybe most of these percents are only newbies who still lack knowledge on what is scam and what is not.

Scams can be posted or found anywhere but the worse thing is if it posted on the social media but it's no brainer on why scammers love this place because there are many people who are involved on it now as they are very useful. Social media platforms must be more strict and start to regulate the post and the ads made on their platform because not all of them are legit. Thanks for sharing the tip by the way. This is very helpful.

Isn't the ban only on the front of the player's costume? meaning that it can still be included in other parts such as the arm or the back and also this regulation will take effect in 2026/2027 meaning that there will still be plenty of time for clubs and sponsors to determine the steps for this ban. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12856367/premier-league-clubs-agree-to-withdraw-gambling-sponsorships-on-front-of-shirts
But is it possible to reduce people from gambling? I don't think so because they will still get information from many things, and the old match videos that are still circulating will also allow many people to see the sponsors of the gambling site.
Of every step taken to reduce gambling, it will not work 100% perfectly unless the government or the internet shuts down permanently, although they can still gamble at offline casinos or bet with friends when matches are held.
It's kinda useless if it works like that. It will be better to not remove it if they can't remove the other. To see gamblers increase is not a bad thing but this can also be healthy. Government or the economy of ones country can benefit with it, then the club or the sports players can also benefit through sponsorships of gambling companies. This was just give and take. What is bad is if most of the gamblers are now addicted.

The most effective way to reduce people from gambling is by banning gambling on that country. Any forms of it including offline. The government can also do a campaign that someone will be rewarded if they will report the people who tries to gamble secretly.

It is also difficult to tell and measure whether removing advertisements from certain locations has an impact on gambling activities. The industry is booming so much that these companies have endless cash to promote their services anyway. If it is not in soccer, it is in other places.
It does have an impact because ads are so powerful and it can make someone curious to try and later on be hooked on it. Soccer is a popular game and almost everyone watches it so removing it will hurt the gambling company.

The industry is booming and those who are on top are benefiting already but starters will have a hard time to catch up and they only have limited cash so they must use it wisely. If not and then they don't get the result they wanted, it will be game over for them. Only big gambling companies are so far can avail promotions on soccer leagues due to the expensive it cost but you're right that there are still other places which are also more affordable to advertise their brand.
493  Economy / Economics / Re: Al Transforming Job Market on: April 19, 2023, 11:52:41 AM
It's kinda sad that this is really like an inevitable things to happen since tech is evolving anyway. I recall some news about that new Mcdonald's restaurant even opening that has no employee and imagine if such layoffs happened to those fast food chain since every processes were being automated already.

Even tech giants are now doing layoffs, but it is not due to AI yet I believe. Devs are ironically laying themselves off their jobs as they develop the one that replaces them, although I do have some few doubts that AI will replace devs though.
The craze for AI is very recent, but AI has been with us for a very long time and it is everywhere, they are trading the markets, playing chess and other board games, offering movie or product recommendations at Netflix or Amazon, piloting planes and soon enough they will drive our cars and do many other things, and in fact there are already some AI which develop software and which can even make inventions, so the developers can in fact be replaced and a great deal of the human population may find themselves replaced one day by AI as well.
It only got hyped again because of that ChatGpt which is said to be all around (can do almost anything) but it wasn't totally perfect yet. It still fails on something and it was being fixed by its developers from time to time to improve its performance.

There are actually cars now which can drive you automatically and they are much safer because they can automatically stop because of their sensors when the car is about to hit on something. How can the AI develop a software or invent things on its own? I think there will still be human intervention to make it possible but this might be the same as ChatGpt because it can also do coding really well.
494  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Forex trades is a part of Crypto Trade? on: April 19, 2023, 11:18:32 AM
The advantage that I see in the forex market is that there will always be a consolidated volume that will make market analysis much easier, while in bitcoin it is not like that, those who have the consolidated volume are few people and they are always investing in it, but when you have a consolidated volume, at least for me it is the best in the world, because the volume is the one that shows and tells us the story of what has happened, and since we have so many tools such as tadingview, tensorcharts m, among others where there are very good indicators, with a consolidated volume the analyzes would be much more precise.
That is because Forex is earlier than in Crypto. It's more popular and more legal. Add in the fact that they are also stable. Although cryptos are also not new anymore but their volatility factor won't ever be removed and it only will get amplified the more the people involved.

The only good thing about crypto is that they are more profitable as the coins can pump unlimitedly if someone is investing with them. If they are a trader, they can trade and make more money quickly because again cryptos are highly volatile. There are lots of people who invest in Bitcoin but there are also people who use it for trading. This contributes to the consolidated volume that you are saying.
495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting vs fantasy sports on: April 18, 2023, 07:42:31 PM
If the OP means about fantasy games like DOTA2 or LOL then I guess at the very beginning of the game you will already see who has the upperhand considering both teams need to be more careful in drafting their in-game characters to play, but in most cases specially nowadays that it is quiet challenging enough to predict the outcome since there are not only one or 2 strategies you can play on a game. There is also this thing you consider like power spikes during early, mid, until late game. Unlike sports betting in which you will have to see the line-ups and first people who will play inside the court, their offensive and defensive strategies, and mostly a player's respective stats, but there are also tendencies on a team game that during in the middle of the game their plays become slow or fast paced depending on the situation. So still nothing is guaranteed on the end but everyone can still gamble on it.
Moba games such as Dota & LoL and FPS games like Counter strike are called E-Sports but fantasy sports are different from them. Here is its definition to be exact. If we are familiar with the teams that are playing on a regular sports game, we can pick easily but it does not mean that winning is now secured. It is still possible for us to lose if our luck is terrible or we missed something when analyzing.

In a fantasy sport, we are the ones that will pick our teams. I never tried this yet but it seems fun according to its description and we can ensure that the game is still fair because results are said to be based on the players' statistics.
496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About football betting on: April 18, 2023, 06:25:04 PM
Correct me if I am wrong

I am not a football fan and any form of prediction is still a gamble to me, but I have gamble on few different online casinos and I believe that gamblers on casinos gambles with the casino games, meaning it's between the gambler and the casino, but with football it is different, your bet is on the performance of a soccer team and the gambling platform will only win your money if your football team loses, right?
That's the basic thing in sports betting including football, bookmakers are not involved in determining which team will get big or small odds because all that is available on their betting site is only what has been determined by the betting provider's service, the difference in odds between bookmakers may be because using a different service provider but the difference will not be significant because it is only under 0.1%.
However, people who like casino games will not care about the losses they suffer because they will have more fun playing casino games than sports betting, because each type of gambling has its own challenges that are difficult to compare because everything is only based on individual preferences.
Of course we casino players care about our losses even if it's only a small amount of money because it takes a long time and hard work only to earn it. I think the reason why we despair is because our aim to play is the profit but for those who just play for fun, they will not really worry about their losses. Sports betting is not played by us bettors but it does not mean that it wasn't enjoyable anymore.

It is still, because we can watch our favorite players in real-time. The fun factor can increase even more once we win our bets. The challenge in casino games is they are hard to win but the challenge in sports betting is that we are require to do an analysis if we want to possibly win. That can also act as a comparison.
497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Skill Based Slot Machines on: April 18, 2023, 03:34:03 PM
I play slot because of its randomness, it unpredictability. And purely because of it's luck factor. I am consider myself as a luck person so some extent. Skill based slots sounds boring and like a lot of work to me. As an oldie, II am not going to change my ways because if you consider it critically, you would see that traditional slots wins at the end of the day.
A slot game that anyone can immediately play without having to have certain skills, because you only need to play it and hope that there will be a miracle so that you can get a high multiplier or at least a result that can make you happy so you can continue playing with many more spins to come, but skill-based slots are different from traditional slots in that most of them are played, there are skills that must be possessed to be able to get good results, but I've never played them so I don't know exactly how it works, however it looks like gamblers will prefer traditional slots as they are more common.
I think a big percent of gamblers are gambling for profit and they prioritize games which are skill-based because they have more chance to win here than the other type of games. When they discovered the slots being talked about here, they will flock here immediately and leave the traditional slots for good.

If you haven't try these new slots and you are curious about them, there is only one solution for that and that is to try them all by yourself. Reading the feedback of others will only make you more curious or excited but that can still lead you to try the game soon. If we are happy on the results, we must stop before the results change and shift our mood again from negative.

I didn't underestimated CSK, most who watched the batting of RCB could've had the same feelings of mine.

Yes, with the scoring in much faster manner this is all unexpected. RCB reached 100 runs in 50 balls, and 150 runs in 80 balls. Further the team missed the momentum as the wickets of du Plessis and Maxwell fell. Even after that Dinesh Karthik made his contribution. Somehow this is the Dhoni's luck that brought him the win.
You can love or hate Mahendra Singh Dhoni. But you can't deny the fact that he is the best captain out of all during this season of the Indian Premier League. It was his tactics which brought the victory to Chennai Super Kings. And trust me, it was not an easy task to defend the target against star batsmen such as Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell. They are some of the best in T20 format. And on the other hand, CSK had some inexperienced bowlers, in the form of Akash Singh, Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana. Without MSD, they would have lost the match yesterday. 
For me Mahendra Singh Dhoni is GOAT of Indian cricket while he was playing for India his achievements are amazing with CSK is surely having one of the best captain ever and in near future we have no player with mindset like this in Indian cricket even now he is 40+ but still doing amazing job as captain and as batsman which is helping CSK for having good results just because of him now they are at 3rd spot in IPL league table which is not easy in presence of few toughest teams with quality players.

As they won last game now I am turning my views about them as top four spot is possible because they can handle pressure and this is important for the win in these matches, and they can bring positive results.

I was thinking new kind of plan to buy bitcoin every month from my salary immediately my company paids me but I still have other responsibilities to carry with family so am skeptical about it especially now that the price has no direction. If can afford storing every month in a long run I may realizes half of bitcoin unit and that's a big achievement to buy but to you is funny because you have enough of it. So advise me on what to do! Should I hold on because of the instabilities in price? Or I should buy and store? Over to you
If the coin in your bag is still small then yes it is advisable to buy more but if you think it's already half or almost full, you can hodl it, wait for the bull and sell before restarting again. Your plan is called DCA. It was used by many long-term hodlers. We all have our own responsibilities in life but we must not forget to left something for our self.

I think there will always be residual money in your salary right after you divide them in your expenses. That is the amount that we will be using when investing. That shouldn't hurt you much. Bitcoin price will never have a direction. It will always move up and down but during the bull run, we will mostly see an increase and when there is a bear market, the price will mostly go down. Each movements can be use at our advantage.

After achieving success in football, Saudi Arabia also wants to work with cricket. That is, Saudi Arabia wants to organize domestic T20 cricket on a much larger scale in their country.  Australia's top news media "The Sydney Morning Herald" published such news. According to them, the domestic T20 league of their country will be organized in a much more grand manner than the IPL. Where all the famous cricketers of the world can be seen performing.
"The Sydney Morning Herald" revealed that the special committee of Saudi Arabia has already discussed this with the BCCI.  

Not only limited to this, the current chairman Greg Barclay of the ICC said,
"You should look at other sports related to Saudi Arabia. They are coming forward in every game. I think the cricket event will be more interesting in their country. Such a league would be good for Saudi Arabia given the way they are approaching the sport. Interested in investing in the sport and the potential of cricket in their country regionally".  

If Saudi Arabia has taken the initiative in this regard then surely they will implement this concern. And the cricket world will enjoy another IPL-like T20 tournament.
There is no doubt now we have a young crown prince who is already involved in many controversies and trying to change image of this kingdom and himself but it's never been easy because right now if any country wants to have the biggest franchise league in cricket it's not possible without India, and they are already announces their players never been involved in this league so most chances this could be not going to happen even if we have something this could be not near the IPL, but they can achieve some better figures due to their huge influence in few countries like they have in soccer and also their huge investments can do something.

But I guess this could be not near the IPL anyhow and ICC also can't do anything mean they will never be direct party in this case with they have no enough power to force other boards for this franchise league in near future.
