1081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miss Universe 2023 betting. on: January 17, 2023, 11:28:49 PM
The jury might be corrupted and they might choose the ugliest chick for Miss Universe. Grin
The chances of this happening can be very high considering how easy it is to influence the decision of judges or Jury in this kind of competitions. Not in the Miss Universe, but I have heard cases of ladies win Beauty competitions by offering themselves for sexual pleasure to some of these jury in the competition, maybe not all of them, but to the most influential official that can make them winner's of the competition. These jury and judges can also be influenced by money and other benefits.
Though there is no proof of this but these things cannot be said to be completely impossible at the moment. But I wouldn't say that sexual pleasure is not the only thing, many people can be recommended in different ways. Since R'Bonney Gabriel is an American ‍she gets priority as it is happened in America. But all these discussions have no basis. So we have to welcome whoever occupies this position.
I do understand on why some people do really throwing out those accusations but it cant really be denied that those are indeed possibilities which it do raises up some question on how the heck it did happen
among all of those beauties which the least had been selected but well it is really that said that those are baseless accusations but those are possibilities which there's nothing we can do if they do really have that
choice since it would really be always that final and this is why there's nothing we can do but to accept it out.Having those assumptions about this and that are something to be very
common in every competition.

The best part is that Anyone can be successful from different investment opportunities, you just need a positive mindset, right information and a good investment management plan, the reason most investors suffer huge losses is because they don't start with good investment management.
Some of the investors who suffered losses were not only due to bad investment management or bad mindset. But some of those who lose are because they believe too much in bad news so that they don't have their own stand completely and don't have enough patience in facing every bad situation in the market. So this is not always due to how they manage investments and the like, but also to their patience and trust in whatever they read in the media while investing.
That's right, regardless of anything apart from management in the end it will become an important factor. On the other hand, the mindset must also be maintained to stay healthy.
Being an investor is not only about keeping your money in one stock or asset for a long time, even though the simplest thing is like that, but in practice, it is clear that we will get something unexpected, such as some news that is not very good and fud keeps happening.
We see many examples when many people are unable to maintain that condition which gets them into trouble in the end and decides to leave when conditions are even at a loss.
Totally no sense on making such action, right?

Its understandable since we are just humans which we are really that subject to make out those kind of impulsive approach and actions basing up in our emotions which is something that very common i should say.
When it comes to investment then there's no such thing about 100% safe because everything does have its particular risks.Even if you do decide on storing up your fiat savings on a bank it wouldnt assure out that
100% safety of those funds + having that risk of inflation which is something that very standard or common problem.
1083  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anybody else confused by the dead-coins pump ? on: January 16, 2023, 11:48:36 PM
FTX, Celsius, Voyager,  and soon Luna ( probably )... all making ridiculous gains in this BTC rally.
Meanwhile some coins with good fundamentals and strong utility ( like Chainlink ) are doing poorly...  Huh C'mon...
Not totally surprising yet whales and other investors do really love on touching up those shitty coins or you can say that having no real-use case at all type of projects or coins.Its not confusing nor rather than
surprising or shocking but rather these are just these normal days specially when Bitcoin do rally up.

Almost coins is really that being dragged going upwards if Bitcoins price is really that bullish.We cant even tell if this is some sort of bull trap but i wont really be that shocked.
So if you do have the guts on taking up the risk then you could always dive in.  Cheesy
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction touched forum users in a very sad way... on: January 16, 2023, 10:59:30 PM
This is the reason why I will never invest in buying those Casascius coins... you just don't know if the creator of those coins has access to the Private key. They usually tell you that it is done electronically and that they have some kind of method that hides the Private key from the creator, but I think it is all bullshit.  Roll Eyes
I never looked at how the whole collectible coins work. But it could be done better than loading the address by the creator.

Well, in this case, it was bullshit. If he kept all those private keys in some way, he was preparing for fraud from the very beginning.

We have all seen countless things about collectibles here on the forum, I guess it's interesting in some way but I never had a passion to buy one or to get more included in any way. Looks like it was a good choice...

And what will happen with collectibles now? One addicted gambler ruined the entire business!

Yes, it was intentional since from the beginning because if you dont really have the plans on committing fraud or hacking then you wont really be putting up into your mind on keeping or knowing those
private keys considering that lots of customers had been trusting up on you.You had just messed up your entire reputation because of that.This is why its really hard to believe that he dont have
any intents and blames out on gambling addiction but im not really seeing on that way because keeping keys and selling or giving it out on customers arent something
ethical way for you to done on.
You got a point!

I agree that keeping keys on something you do sell isn't ethical no matter what angle you would be seeing.This is why its really hard to trust up someone whose anonymous or completely you dont know personally.
No matter how established their name is but there's no way that you could prove out that on how long they would be keeping themselves honest and trustworthy? It is really that that hard to fight off
the temptation in speaking about huge money specially when gambling addiction hits you hard and you do end up with this kind of option.

I observed that the cryptocurrency market is a kind of green at the moment, but as a beginner, I still find it difficult to tell when the market is actually bullish. I will appreciate any advice from fellow community members concerning this current situation because I'm considering to buy some coins but finding it difficult to decide on which coin to give a trail.

Just a kind advice, the risk is mine.

DYOR!

Dont make yourself believe on whatever other people been saying because it would be always boils down into your own decision because all of us here are speculators too on which there's
no way that you should really be relying on others buying decision.We are all asking on the same question but in regarding about on which position you should really be placing yourself is into those times
where everything looks red and bearish.This is the best time on buying cheap and not on a Fomo'ing market. Safe word isnt something that you could really be able to attached up
on this crypto space or market.
1086  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Pumping After The Arrest of Sam on: January 16, 2023, 08:49:05 PM
This may be the one of the BTC down reason, but there are other reasons as well. CZ tweeted as well about this that Btc price has been recovered to the place where from it down after FTX collapsed.
There are still many other reason also like MtGox changed his mind. First they given date if repayment in January and now they will make repayment in March Which reduced the fear of traders. New year start will be also a factor for Bitcoin pump because we have seen many times that big investors usually buy in the start of the years.
Really hard to point up some fingers when it comes to reasons on why price had made out some recovery.People do really love to spot out things specially in prices where it do came from
pertaining into pre-FTX issue price which is totally true on what CZ said but to be exact and precise then it would really be that hard to be precise on whats the actual reason.
This is why im not really that making myself that get stressed on why the market or Bitcoin do make out some pump which actually it is really just a small percentage
basing up on how deep we are speaking with the current value that we do have now as of this moment.
1087  Economy / Gambling / Re: What sort of Weekly & Monthly Bonuses do Bitcointalk members want? on: January 12, 2023, 11:43:11 PM
I agree that it's cool but there are always people who abuse the rewards so they usually have to put limits and wagering requirements. Also, they have to gain profit and the best way to do that is to have wagering requirements.
When there is a promotional offer and/or any free offer/bonus then there must have a few requirements to avoid abusing the system/offer. And we should know that their main purpose is not offering us something free hence they need to make a profit. In this case, the best option for them is to include the requirement of wagering.
Its a standard thing and we cant really see platforms or companies which does offers bonuses without having those requirements because it would really be a total disaster which might cause for their company
to be bankrupt.They are here on running a business and it isnt something that they would be giving some money into gamblers or players.When we do speak about bonuses and stuffs then it turns out to be
that a basic must have for a gambling business to make themselves look interesting and cool but for most players who do have that experience will really be definitely be not that
interested that much out of these bonuses.They are just traps for me.
1088  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a trend over other cryptocurrency. on: January 12, 2023, 10:36:44 PM
Bitcoin as we know is cryptocurrency which rise and fall in the digital crypto market. Bitcoin has a trend over other cryptocurrency in the sense that Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency in the world digital crypto market. Over the year we find out that those in invested in Bitcoin benefits greatly  which make a lot of investors to key into cryptocurrency. But despite that Bitcoin diminish but that doesn't mean it the end of Bitcoin. Recently Bitcoin has been tend to high value on like others cryptocurrency that remains or increase in a little bit. So I urge every one that now is the best to buy Bitcoin as it trend to increase in no distance time.
Bitcoin or overall crypto market had just boomed out its popularity on the time that there's some news and info on how high it did really been able to reach when it comes to its value but considering into those early years

where Bitcoin is still close on being valueless which people do ignore it and the ones who do benefit out are to those people who had been trusting up and believe into its potential.Some might able to sell out their coins

into those early years but we know that there are holders who did make such huge money out of the years of their holding.Now the trend is continuing and as the recognition and adoption is increasing
then there's no doubt that price or value would be always having that potential on reaching up peak prices.
1089  Economy / Economics / Re: Every passing year seems progressively worse on: January 11, 2023, 10:49:20 PM
World is facing the worst economic situation. In this situation it is a must to stay positive, only then it is possible to stay strong and make ourselves progressive amidst the prevailing situation. Life won't be the same all the time. At times we need to be very active and keep ourselves challenging than just enjoying the feel of being lonely and missing out.
Even though we are too positive but we can't stop ourselves from thinking about what will happen to the next generations, and to the future of our children if the situation is getting worse. Worries sometimes will appear in my mind and I think about how they can survive in the future when the government will never make a solution to the current situation because what I see is that they are making only short-term solutions.
In my case, there are really times which you would be thinking about the future of your children or even your grandsons considering that economical problems seems to get worst but instead on freaking out and just let
yourself idle, it would be more ideal if you do find up ways on how to make more income because no matter how bad the economy would be in speaking with inflation and recessions on which you could really be that confident that on the inheritance that you have given would really be that sufficient for them to survive these given circumstances which this is what im trying out to achieve as long as im alive.
We cant really bring all the money that we worked hard but look at on the ones who would really be benefiting it.

I really can't fathom what the feeling of that lady when she was told that the machine malfunctioned, hence she will not get any of that juicy millions. Perhaps the best thing is to file complaint against the Jamaican gambling regulatory board for this mishap.

Yeah, in any case, maybe she learn her lessons and probably playing on some other casinos now because of her bad experience with Resorts World.

I guess it is in the ToS that if the machine malfunctioned, the winning is voided, but still that is huge money to won and it could really be a life changer.
Being dismayed on the extremest manner which even myself cant really that fathom on such condition if i do know that i had won that jackpot and its been claimed that the machine malfunction?

You would really be just thinking yourself on cherishing those winnings only just in the dreams and that would really be giving out that suck feeling on why the hell it did happen.

She could really need up some help from some lawyer in regarding the case, it is really that not that convincing on what they are trying out to claim.
1091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for crypto exchange without KYC on: January 11, 2023, 08:21:42 PM
You can try following exchanges that do not ask for KYC. And these are As follows.
1) Binance
2) Bybit
3) Bitmax
4) Kucoin
5) MEXC      etc.
Where did you copy that list from?

Except Kucoin and MEXC the rest all require KYC as far as I know.
If we talk about zero KYC exchanges, Kucoin and MEXC should be excluded too since there's a chance they will ask KYC in the future. Especially Kucoin there's few cases they ask KYC, but after contact them in this forum, they're willing to let you withdraw but your account will get blocked.

Centralized that offer temporary no KYC will ended like Binance where now they will ask everyone KYC. Bybit is also offer temporary no KYC, but Binance and Bitmax aren't anymore.

Bisq is the only one exchange that offer zero KYC.
Any centralized platforms would really be ending up on the same path.They might be KYC-less or having none when they are just started but on the time that they become big and being recognized then this is where
government do really love to impose laws and regulation for these centralized platforms which it would really be ending up for these businesses to changed up their terms and conditions
which it isnt really that surprising and this is really that whats happening which things supposedly to be decentralized ends up on the opposite side of things but we know
on what these services do gives when it comes to convenience and this is why people do still make use and consider them out.
1092  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Too much uncertanity here it got be more sure here what i say on: January 11, 2023, 06:29:19 PM
With bad news coming when you've got a lot of things that are already planned to look after the market, that will affect us based on the emotion that we've got.
And when our emotions are affected, our decision-making will also be affected. What's much worse is when we're already not sure if our confidence is there. When someone has come to that point, you better leave the market temporarily as you know what might happen with your potential trades.
In such conditions it is of course very important to have self-control and not everyone has that,
when filled with emotion it will make decisions not right and in the end we will lose,
maybe temporarily leaving the market is at least a better option.
And someone becomes dumb even if with experience when his emotions are too high. It's like he's unstoppable and he'll do anything he wishes as if no one will ever stop him from doing so.
That's what high emotions can do, you're forgetting that trading is a mental game and you shouldn't be too hasty with decisions that you'll do when your money and trades are involved.
When emotions are already that being trying to pop out and tends to control on everything and you do able to tolerate it instead of controlling it then you would definitely ending up on making bad decisions on whatever

you are doing and specially if you are doing trading then it would really be a huge effect in regarding to this which it is something that really needs to be avoided.If you do lack up some experience and knowledge
then it would be normal on having these kind of reaction.For a volatile market like this then you cant really avoid on having these kind of emotions and thinking because of its unpredictability or
something that is really random.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Woman won $43million but was offered a steak dinner instead of her winnings on: January 10, 2023, 10:36:55 PM
if I remember correctly this happened in 2016 or 2017. I am glad she filed a lawsuit again and it is great that they made a good point on their lawsuit. I wonder how much did she get on the settlement. anyway, people need to fight back against casinos that do this. as far as I know, this is not the first a casino claims that their slot machine is broken or suffered a glitch and the winnings shown on the screen are not exactly what the gambler won.
Yes, this is an old issue but something not that surprising where huge wins had been not paid via simply throwing up these kind of issues.Some say about bribery of Gaming commission?

Here's some example that they do help out a particular unaware person or gambler that he had won some progressive jackpot.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gaming-board-tracks-las-vegas-229000-jackpot-winner-slot-machine-malfu-rcna15086

Good thing that they do able to find that man/winner.
1094  Economy / Economics / Re: What was your lowest point financially? How did you go through it ? on: January 10, 2023, 10:12:15 PM
Everybody has a story to tell about their financial or non-financial struggles, so we all know that life is not perfect. However, all I can say is that in order to achieve our goals, we simply need to put the past behind us and concentrate on the future. Even the successful posts we see on the internet are not without their challenges, especially when it comes to careers in business.

But as for me is when my father was in a sick bed for over three years. My father was a diabetes patient at Same time he was suffering from spinal cord injury, so we spend a lot of money to cure him to extend that drained his account and my mother's account that later we are we are surviving on loan and last last he lost his life.so from that three good years I was always in seriously struggling condition because I have no job doing and I always stay with my father take care of him. it is hardly I eat two times in a day some times.
It's the "success stories" that I love reading or watching because it usually shows they did nothing different from most people, and yet they got lucky that's it. Most rich people in the world did something that anyone can do, and they did absolutely nothing that is shocking to the investor world or even any person who tried their hand at a startup would tell you it's nothing special, but they got lucky.

Like look at facebook, it's the most mundane and ordinary thing ever, and look at how big they got, the idea is nothing special at all, and yet they are huge. Which is why those success stories matter, shows they did nothing different than the millions who tried and failed, the only difference was luck.
I can really agree into this one because there are things which we have done the same on where those successful person do able to do so when they are just starting but ending up on a disaster instead of success and this do proves out that there's really something lacking on what you are doing.Its true that luck does play some role on someones success.

You could really read tons of success stories and trying out to copy but these things wont really be that simple but would rather be the most challenging of all.Majority of us would really be that impatient
which it would be ending up on rushing our decisions and ending up on lots of mistakes and errors.
1095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How profitable it is possible to invest in bitcoins in the new year 2023. on: January 10, 2023, 09:43:01 PM
You should see profits if you DCA in long enough.
I agree, but it would be more profitable if they dare to buy a lot when the price has fallen more than 75% in the previous days. They can also buy with DCA if they still have doubts about the possibility of a further correction, but if they are able then certainly profit can be made in the long term. The cycle will continue to alternate where after a large increase will be followed by a correction, and vice versa.

In the long term, investing in bitcoin will be more likely to generate worth it returns, and i thing it is worth the risk of its price volatility.
DCA isnt something that for everyone considering that we dont really have that unlimited funds which we could really be able to put in.If we had already done it earlier then there's no way that you can do further specially

when the price is still plummeting or decreasing.I could say for those people who had invested into this month of January can really be considered as a good entry and it wont really be that a bad idea on holding it up for

future and it is really been considered to be a good start up.If you do hold then its your choice but if you do make out some active trades then it would be always your choice.
1096  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price, January. $20000 or above possible? on: January 09, 2023, 11:41:52 PM
One third of the month got over and we've moved over $17000. If the growth happens in a gradual way as now reaching $20000+ seems to be possible. Expectation over the federal reserve of United States seems to be the reason for the rise in the market price. None is sure of how good the inflation gets limited. So, these growth are like temporary and lets wait for the real outcome.
If we do see small climbs even with those small time corrections but eventually made out some buys or having that strong buy order book then pretty sure we might be seeing 20k above before this month ends but well

we do all know that this isnt something that could happen precisely and everything is still questionable or cant really be sure.Im making myself not to really be that much expecting or positive because the market
would really just crash out in front of your eyes and would really be annoyed and frustrated.

20k is something a tough resistance to be break and everything would really be basing and depending on the market demand as always.
1097  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: January 09, 2023, 10:42:36 PM
A unique complex strong password is enough for those gamblers, it won't be possible for a hacker to aggressively brute force any account since another layer of security measures will prevent such a scenario from happening. This is one of the reasons why many digital security recommendations are suggesting using a strong and unique password on every site.
Use unique, strong passwords are good because if they are weak, they can be bruteforced but don't store your passwords in email, any account, on any server.
Are your passwords in the green?

LastPass has data breach and other password manager softwares can have data breaches too.
Constantly changing them is a better method. It would allow your passwords to be never known because even if it ever gets hacked, like lets say lastpassword, then you would not be really using the same one anyway. My mail was exposed years ago, so people try to achieve something while using my mail, like try to convince me to click links and such.

But, obviously I don't fall for it and change ALL my passwords every 6 months. This allows me to not get hacked, and I fear that hackers are aware that I am dirt poor Cheesy lol. So they don't even try to, imagine spending 150 hours bruteforce hacking into an account and it has 22$ in it, lol. Who would want to do that, am I right? Cheesy.
How they would know that you do only own 22 bucks?  Cheesy

As a hacker then you would definitely be doing all shot just for you to dig in into a particular hole and made out some bruteforce, its a hit or miss for them whether its a small amount or big then it wouldn matter.
Speaking about change password kind of behavior then it wont be that necessary as long you do have those  2fa specially on emails where codes would be sent out on your  mobile phone
if ever there are new ip log ins and similar to platforms.
1098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Memecoin and utility - impossible or next stage of crypto development on: January 09, 2023, 09:35:47 PM
Yet? the question is that Does meme coin worth investing at least for long term? when you admitted that this has no Utility use than those traditional currencies?

I'm afraid that this would ever had a great effect on to the whole market , I believe that this will only be used but not that big thing for the whole market.

and my answer? is impossibility to be the real next staging.
It's true that it's not worth investing right now and it will not be worth it in the future neither. It's just not a good investment and anyone who thinks that they could make a profit from it will not be happy when they see prices of all else go up, and their memecoin doesn't get up that much because it was only high for a moment due to hype and it's no longer hyped hence why it's not going up anymore.

I believe that the best thing to do would be staying away from it if we can, not going to be simple to make profit with other stuff, like bitcoin because it doesn't go up that much, but it will be possible if we wait for it just a few years. Takes longer but at least realistic approach.
The easiest way to keep yourself away from meme coins is to have realistic expectations about the profits which are possible to obtain on this market, from the bottom bitcoin at minimum will give 500% in profits during the next bull run.

If 500% in profits is too small for some investors out there, then they should not look for coins promising to give more profits than that as this is a waste of both time and money, instead they should increase the capital they are planning to invest in bitcoin and other good coins as doing this will increase their profits as well.
We know that there are people whom do really love to play with fire or something that has higher risk because there are tendencies which they could earn up even on a thousand multipliers if ever those choices had

been pumped up by some whale or something that been hyped up by the community.This is their main consideration on why they do make out such move or step which most people would say
or make out some advise that it isnt really that recommended.

Back to past where Dogecoin isnt that much recognized nor have that attention yet its utility isnt something that revolutionary until the time  comes that it has been hyped
and new and old meme coins next in line are trying to get that attention too.

I have spent too much of my 20's and early 30's trying to get super rich, and I do not mean like just a bit of rich, I mean unrealisticly rich. I gave that up this year in 2023, that's my new years resolution. For at least one year, I am going to just try to live life the best way I could, go to expensive vacations, buy that thing I wanted to buy, screw up my entire financial situation, cash out all my investments, literally go back to ground zero and have zero money left and also the best year I have ever had. The past 3 years, 2020-2021 and 2022 all had been terrible, not just because of pandemic, that was bad but more stuff happened, deaths, cancer, many other things. I am done with it, I am done planning for 20 years down the road, I will do that again in 2024, but this year? I am just going to spend all I make AND all I saved, finish the year with nothing. I want to see 0$ in my name by 31st December 2023, and amazing memories.
Very odd to see someone who do have this kind of target and motives in life on going back to zero after all the years you've been through which you would just basically be spending it all unrealistically.
Im not saying that its not something worth since its your money that you had worked hard for, its your choice but you should be sure that you wont be regretting if you do go back to zero
and working hard all over again.

Its better to work and make more source of income which you do at least have the time that spending spree without needing on going back to square one.

they will not publish bugs on their site let alone loopholes but they can provide it if asked and sued by trusted parties that they can prove that users violate the rules and abuse, if indeed the casino always commits fraud as you think of course many gamblers run away , but why is the casino getting crowded, because everything is safe if we don't play dirty as gamblers
That would really be affecting confidence and trust towards the business and this is something they wont really like for the masses to feel out and this is why as possible they would really be hiding off those security means issues which would might cause a disaster into their business.If ever there are players who do able to abuse because of such exploit then they would be normally locking up those amounts if havent been
withdrawn or they had able to caught it up but if not then it would be the case and this is where scam accusations would be thrown out.For sure they would really be offering something into those people
