Nothing new, people want to beat the system which is doing illegal things one of example is cheating to the gambling casino, we know how people are knowledgeable into computers especially with bots, and other formats or ways just to by pass the current system but of course the developers not called as developers if they cant see this hole in their system that might abuse by the players reason why some of the accounts came from cheaters and abusers getting freeze because of their illegal activities. They see gambling as easy money because of their knowledge but of course at the end there's a consequences of doing this kind of act.
Yeah, I agree such developers and gamblers always look for loops in the algorithms of the casino and then use such holes for gaining an advantage against the house. It is a matter of time to get the attention of the casino developers who gonna freeze account activity and maybe sue the user for such illegal activity. Anyways, nowadays casino managers do bug bounties for findings possible vulnerabilities and they send big rewards to the hunters, AFAIK. It is better to use dev skills on the related industries, IMO. There's a difference between abusing or using a found flaw in the game and actively wearing the inner workings of the game for the sake of a guaranteed win. With the latter I can't stand by cause it's just a crime at that point and it ruins the integrity of the game. The dilemma only follows people who have found a flaw, not those who actively made it within the system for their personal benefit. If I ever see one close by I'd be telling the guards on them or the whole gambling site nevermind being called a snitch or a rat. First and foremost you shouldn't gamble for profit and should only gamble for fun. If I see you actively deteriorating the integrity of the game just so you can bag some win that's going to be a different story buckaroo. |

It is quite sad to see even people here, in the bitcointalk forum where you are already in the high tech world for people who are usually young and more developed and smart to be able to do crypto trading, end up showing so much hatred towards them...
I would not say that it is specially surprising, since in this forum and in the gambling section we can find both people from open-minded and tolerant societies and also people who come from societies which are highly intolerant towards others who may have a different sexual preferences from them. It is a matter of fact that on the internet, does not matter how far you go, there will always be users who have a contrary point of view. Besides, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole have been turning into technological tools which are not relegated to gambling and tech-savvy people only. People from older generations in developing countries have found Bitcoin to be useful to preserve their money, even if they do not share the values of personal freedom which are often associated with this ecosystem. I guess that's just the curse of having an open channel to voice out your opinions and all that, but in my opinion just cause it's happening doesn't mean that it's normal. Not trying to be PC here but people on the spectrum are genuine human beings with feelings and sentience, sometimes more than us that are cisgender lol, so the least we could do is to reciprocate respect if given to us you know. I've had friends in the LGBTQ+ group tell me that they are mostly prejudiced in the crypto scene, with most of them made fun of in live events and all that all because of how they present themselves, same goes with casinos which is the main topic of this discussion anyway. This is just saddening to say the least and I would keep on saying it, that just because a lot of people do it doesn't mean it's normal and we should condone it. |

How pathetic!
Pathetic right? But these things happens. Perhaps not in the same way but,once therr wasn't any pre-agreed sharing formula amongst gamblers, there would always be one person who would sort out means to cheat the other with some entitlement argument like we have in OP. In the real sense, it's wrong of the account owner to seek a lion share in this as, it wasn't agreed upon, the risk was equaly shared and as much as they would have had to carry equal amount to a lose, same ideology should follow instances of profit. I don't see a reason why i would go physical while gambling as my model for gambling is very simple although, I would hate to discover that I was being cheated on a good bet. Heat of the moment more likely. Us men however we deny it are susceptible to drastic measures when we're desperate and backed into a corner, sometimes (as in this case of the fucking idiot who thought it would be actually nice to dupe a fellow gambler off of his fair share of win) we even cause these drastic situations to come around. But the thing is, most of us right here wouldn't even dare get into fights like these let alone get into an interaction that would lead to an altercation of sorts. Dare I say we don't even have friends to do this with cause we're either embarrassed to barge them into this thing/hobby of ours, or we just suck at socializing, so while this is a general possibility through and through, I don't think this is something that happens everyday. |

While I love both fighters and see them as the new face of boxing after Pacquiao's fall into grace lmao. I gotta hand the preemptive win to Tyson Fury this time. Francis is a fucking powerhouse I give him that, he's a tank that could take punches and give the blows back twice as hard if not more, but Tyson is a better fighter through and through and provided that he doesn't get smacked in the face by a pain-packing punch he's going to win. There's a lot of win conditions for Fury and only one for Ngannou, plus he's lost his charm all these years for some reason and now I don't think he's as confident about his abilities as he was back in the day. Tyson still has a long way ahead of him and he's probably still not in his prime (although I say this with a full clenched fist of salt in a hand).

Gambling gambling gambling everywhere there are gamblers everywere either online or shops and some gamblers are not happy to be one because they are addicted to it, now come to the present day question, how do you feel after making a stake? People on these forum mostly gambling board, lot of people here do say we should use spare money to make a bet (stake) but we all know that there is nothing like a spare money if people save money for future use I don't think a well thinking person will also save money for gambling, I think everybody who gambled sometimes does not know when they are in a gambling shops, just imagine you're about to check your past bets and you find your self about to stake another, please don't see it the other way round.
So if you use our saved money to stake a bet, what really comes next to your mind? I will like us to talk about this.
Who say's we're saving money for gambling? Lol that's not the point of "gambling only what you can afford to lose" you literally only gamble with what's in excess out of your pocket and not dedicated a bankroll on it or something cause that in itself is grounds for becoming addicted to gambling. I don't know about the other peeps in this forum but I never go so far as to dedicate money from my budget to fulfill my gambling habits cause that's just stupid and excessive. For the most part I don't feel anything about it, no regret or remorse cause at the end of the day, it's money that I willingly spent and something that didn't come out of my savings or whatnot. |

How do you define financial stability for yourself? Do you believe that there's a thing as too much money? With what kind of income would you be satisfied and felt successful, at least in the sector of finances. Is it the more, the better?
The subject of money in particular is controversial, speaking for myself, I'm working a regular job, getting paid above average each month, while also doing some online work such as signature campaigns and staking coins on various platforms. I'm making enough money to make ends up and on the plus side, setting aside a decent sum of money from my salary, as well as any other amount earned online, is set aside as savings.
While in particular, I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of money I'm earning, I definitely wouldn't mind earning 10% or 20% more, I'm not sure though, if I'd say the same even if I supposedly received the previously mentioned raise, which is falling to the category of, the more, the better.
However, the general idea is that I'm currently okay, if I were to pursue something in life, in terms of money and finances, it'd be to make enough money to make ends meet and have a decent amount of purchasing power, while at the same time, having a savings account. This is something that as a 23-year-old student I've managed, but I have a pretty long way to go.
What's your take on this?
To me, Financial Stability is achieved when you get into a point in your money journey where money is no longer going to be a problem for you. You could comfortably buy anything you want or finance anything you desire like a new car or a house without getting negative'd, and most of all have something for yourself when shit hits the fan and you lose your main source of income. Most people think that to be Financially stable you had to be filthy rich, without knowing that there's pseudo-levels to it lmao. - Financially-Free: Able to get what you want without worrying about your utilities.
- Financially-Stable: Able to support whatever you want, while remaining secure for when times get rough and you lose your source of income/profit.
- Financially-Capable: Get wealthy and be able to virtually anything that money can buy and more, and still have enough to buy the same kind of stuff over and over again without becoming poor. It also helps if you have an immutable money-making source/plan that's helping you with lining your pocket everytime you make a purchase!

Inflation is really biting hard, and nobody is doing anything about it, should we all just go with what Tupac said, "that's just the way it is, things will never be the same".
A lot of person's have ascribed this global inflation to the crisis Rocking Ukraine and Russia, a lot of person's have also said it's as a result of shortage of gas supply across Europe and other countries.
The whole story is not just clear, as to why inflation is biting so hard and IMF AND WORLD BANK are not doing anything about it and the people are just left to face their fate alone.
The prices of goods and services are constantly going astronomical high and there is no hope insight of this ugly situation coming to a halt.
The purchasing powers of citizens are getting weak and I don't understand if the consumer protection laws are even effective anymore this days.
You buy something for a certain amount today, in the next one week, that same item you bought has charged Prince without any reason.
How are you guys pulling it through with this inflation?
I see where you're coming from, good thing for you cause you have savings to use when times get rough compared to most people out there raw-dogging life without any form of safety net against this dangerously expensive world. But no point in pointing fingers about who's got it worse cause in my opinion, we all share the same problem, we just feel it differently. Getting off to a tangent here but what I'm trying to say is that, what I did to help save myself from the underlying dangers that inflation would cause to my savings is well, save in other forms of assets. For instance, a lot of us here had put up their savings into cryptocurrencies and precious metals like gold and silver. I myself did that to avoid impermanent loss. Some of us went all-in on investing and ditched the savings part to maximize profits (which I will not suggest unless you're a baller and you have enough money lying around to help you when times get rough). But all in all, it's more than enough sometimes that you're saving. |

Data analysis by kaiko shows that the XRP token currently have a higher trade volume in comparison with Bitcoin the data shows that XRP leads with 21% and Bitcoin 20%, the catalyst behind it's growth since last week was caused by the legal battle won by Ripple against the US SEC
Despite XRP taking the lead on trade volume, Bitcoin is still the the greatest coin with its current price over $30k and Ripple $0.73, by comparison the price of Bitcoin is way too vast for dethronement
I still believe Bitcoin is the best coin ever and will continue to soar higher till there is nothing to dethrone or compare
Trade volume for Bitcoin is a little low, but market cap will say whether the coin is leading or not. As for bitcoin with its less than 600 billion dollar market cap, carrying the whole industry with it by the way by constituting approximately 60% of the whole crypto industry's market cap, it will remain king for a while. Also need to consider the fact that a good reason why people aren't trading bitcoin anymore is because they saw fit to instead save and hold it! Which in most cases is more profitable than exchanging it for an altcoin with a lower market cap! So when you say bitcoin is going to be dethroned in trading volume people wouldn't be surprised, it's how they intended it to be anyway. With market cap however, that is going to be a rather different and improbably story. |

I'm guessing since they are essentially just fiat in digitized/tokenized form the government still would have enough access and responsibility to manage your money in certain occasions. For one, such as what has happened in the past with criminals holding massive amounts of wealth, their money and assets were pooled into the national treasury instead to amp the taxpayer's money and basically promise to fund projects that will better the common person's life. Of course we know where the money goes but it's one of the possibilities wherein the government can seize control of your money, be it fiat or CBDC. I can't really think of any other reason or way a government could take control of your funds and money other than as a result of criminal liability. But for the record, CBDCs aren't absolved of this and just like their paper money counterpart, they can be controlled too.

While in the past word-of-mouth and testimonials stood as one of the best way you could sell your product, I believe those days are gone now cause marketing is sometimes even more important than the product's quality and purpose itself. Just look at NFTs like Bored Ape, do they have any unique feature or use case that sets them apart from other NFT projects in the space? No. As a matter of fact they are cut and dry shit NFTs with no real value to provide for their users, but they got into the millions price range cause they went ham on marketing their NFTs to the point that even celebrities and famous icons bought and held their Bored Ape NFTs for long.
I'm not saying you should stop creating good products all together and just focus on how you market your shit, if you do that you'd get into a lot of trouble and you might even risk getting boycotted by your buyers, level the marketing effort you exert with the quality of the product you're creating, and watch it succeed.

I see poverty as the inability to provide what you need. So when people assume that poverty is when you don't have money I don't agree. Now what if you have all you need and you don't require money to buy anything, are you poor? Some people live in communities where everyone lives agrarian life. They have all they need because everything they need to survive is available. Food is on the farm, water available and everybody is happy. Although it was hard during the Covid-19 lockdown many people lived without money. I have also seen many people leaving cities and moving to rural areas to live a natural life.
In summary when you have everything you need to survive and you don't need money, are you poor?
Poverty was born out of a currency-based society, you're basically talking about people who are well-off to provide for themselves, which ironically was still achieved through surprise-surprise, purchase of land for your agrarian argument, and whatever leverage for everything else. Now you might be asking, what of the people who moved to rural areas then? Well they moved cause stuff was cheaper in the countryside, and that once again, was brought about by the argument of money. Funny how you mentioned the COVID-19 Pandemic too, cause that's basically what poor people had to live with for most of their lives, not being able to buy anything and go anywhere, stuck in their dilapidated houses cause they're either unemployed, laid-off, or they couldn't acquire employment for whatever reason. You only think they are able to get by because everyone's in the same boat but honestly speaking, especially in the Philippines the poor people during the pandemic had it worse. it's fine to think that people could live without money, however, be careful not to discredit the struggles that people who live in poverty face on a daily basis all so you could prove that "poverty is not just about money". |

I want to start a discussion highlighting some points I read online regarding women as compared to men in entrepreneurship and the chance of success.
Men and women do not prepare for the launch of their business in the same way. The number one preparatory activity for women is specific training (43.3% versus 31.8% for men). Men are looking for potential clients (45.8%) and writing a business plan (42.5% versus 34.6% for women).
Market research is carried out by about 1/3 of men and 1/4 of women.
Women entrepreneurs are much less experienced than their male counterparts: 37.5% have less than 3 years of experience versus 25.7% of men.
82.5% of women start businesses alone (compared to 69.8% of men)
Men consider that they are more entrepreneurial than women (84.7% of men against 72% of women)
Men have much more confidence in the future than women (48.2% of women vs. 64.7% of men)
Men are clearly more confident in the success of their company than women: 72.4% versus 65.3
There are far more unemployed women than men among entrepreneurs: 25.9% versus 16.9
Women are 3 times less likely than men to have already tried the adventure of creating a business: only 5.3% of women had already created a business against 18.4% of men
As a result of the difficult economic times, do you consider that there will be more women entrepreneurs competing with men in this field which it so looks like they currently dominate? https://www.intotheminds.com/blog/en/entrepreneurship-differences-women-men/ While I want to be optimistic and say that the hard times temper the best people in the industry. It's worth noting that the odds are stacked against women too. The fact alone that most of them couldn't get the pay grade they deserve let alone be given jobs above clerical work is insane and is something that I see is what causes these people to go unemployed before starting their own business. Plus you also have to take into account that women most of the time are given more house responsibilities than male, which leads them to lose their jobs cause between caring for the house, the husband and the kids, going to work and then starting your own business, they won't have a life to live anymore. I hope the system changes to be more favorable to everyone who wishes to make a name for themselves but it's misogynistic and capitalistic you couldn't really fight your way through unless you exert every ounce of your strength and will power to your craft. |

Can you really blame them though? The prospect of profit is not enough a reward. People nowadays would much rather receive immediate gratification than delayed ones, which is something that cryptocurrencies are good at. Plus you also have to consider the fact that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are in hot water right now after the numerous crackdowns that governments from US and beyond are making which definitely do not sit well with the average joe who doesn't know what cryptocurrencies are besides what he can see on the news.
In any case, we're sitting pretty nicely on our little boat right now, Rome wasn't built in a day as one guy in this thread said, proper campaigning and movements are more important than surge of users that are in here for the profit. We need people who would stay, not people who's here during bull runs and then gone as soon as the first sign of dumping comes out.

Actually, I'm always experiencing event like this even before but I just decided to post this here to find if other user experience this kind of bullshit bad luck situation. I'm playing on evolution gaming most of the time and I have a game like this which I lose consecutively even if I change table or stay. I'm still lose or draw whenever I have blackjack or 20 while the dealer hand is 6,5,4,3 and 2. What really surprising is they always get a lower card to get a perfect 21 or 20 to beat me or draw. I'm not telling they are rig but this kind of bad luck is really sucks to experience and make me loss my appetite to gamble more. I decided to immediately stop my game since I knew that this will continue while my temper will be very bad in long run. Never really had a bad experience with them when I was playing back then, and even the losses didn't really strike to me as them stacking the odds against me if you know what I'm saying. I would say it's all just in the luck of your draw as well as your strat too. I would highly suggest you lessen changing seats and all that cause blackjack, more than a card game is a game of maths, and you switching seats and all that (at least in my opinion) ruins your best chances at getting the win you want. Plus it even aggravates you cause you're out there thinking you're changing something to give you better odds only for you to be miserably disappointed when it didn't work on your favor. Or you can take a breather just like what you're trying to do now. That works too. |

Are you holding fiat? Do you not know that if you are holding fiat, it is like your government are scamming you, although it is not a scam, but it is a means to lose money as your fiat money lose value and unable to buy what you can use it to buy before.
Likely you have your emergency money in your local fiat too. You said emergency, which means it should be used for inconveniences time and for emergencies. You supposed to use your emergency money, not that you should sell you property that may increase in value, although I am just saying that because some properties like land, metals, jewelries and many others like that can increase in value.
It is better not to hold money in your local currency, bitcoin is still not that high, you can buy it instead. Ones the price is high very well and you have gained, you can convert some to dollar or other good foreign currency which are better than many fiat from countries like Venezuela, Lebanon, Sudan, Argentina, Zimbabwe, Turkey and many other countries.
Bro really out here defeating all the financial advisors on the planet lmao. Holding Fiat is a little out there you know, you got to be specific. For instance saving your money in the bank is considered holding fiat, and I dare say saving your money even if it's in fiat form isn't really that bad to be honest. You're also a little idk man. Your emergency funds are called emergency funds for a reason. You don't use them just cause your financial advisor asked you to invest your money on something. It's not money that is meant to be invested or be used to gain profits. It's literally there to be your safety net for when times get rough. I would much rather prefer OP using his assets as those can be reacquired anyway and who's to say he doesn't have assets that are easily recoverable? That way he doesn't have to spend his saving grace just so he can fund his investment? Cause I'd never go out there investing what's supposed to support me if shit hits the fan my guy. I'd much rather sell my other assets instead. |

I agree with you OP, Binance has indeed done its part in making sure that all its users feel safe and secure when they use the platform. But at the same time, securities fraud blatantly expressed by one of their founders is no laughing matter too. And even though I hate SEC with every throbbing cell in my body I feel like they are in the right in this one. I don't promote the complete banning of Binance in the US though, at least monetary sanctions at most so people there could use the platform still but at the same time that's very unlikely considering the SEC's going bonkers on banning and barring every crypto-business out there for some reason. Still, time will tell whether Binance will prevail or not. For now we can only hope it sides with what's going to be in the best interest of the people.

Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons. The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people. New Research Explores Effect of Gambling on LGBTQ+ PeopleI actually didn't think to research this, in fact I think most of the LGBTQ+ people prefer to gamble in online casinos because of the convenience and efficiency they get instead of having to go to a physical casino. But it seems that people in the casino or the staff are unlikely to be abusive, as it is clearly against the rules and makes no sense at all. Even so, we shouldn't easily believe in this research because LGBTQ+ are scattered in various countries so their reasons for choosing to play at online casinos have different reasons. It's not bound to a particular gender group my friend. A lot of us here straight or in the spectrum sees online casinos as convenient alternatives to land casinos. I do think there's a reason why there's quite the propensity over LGBTQ+ people choosing online casinos over land-based ones, it's most likely within the constructs of gender discrimination and all that stuff which forces these people to seclude themselves and choose the option that wouldn't force them to face interactions with bigots and incels (which I might add is quite rampant in the industry sadly). But as things get more progressive and casinos see this group of gender as potential customers, we might see an increase in the number of people who's betting in land-based casinos that are within the spectrum. |

A company like Celsius with multiple assets like mining, lending, network etc is vulnerable and difficult to control, I think that's one of the reasons they had to go bankrupt. How will they control all the assets mentioned on the doc, it's numerous, if they focused on two; lending and mining it could have been better and easier for them to withstand and trace any pipelined problem. Normally a business will grow, and sooner it'll begin to drop in value, that way Celsius would have been introducing other assets gradually other than managing all of them at a go. It's wild that, while cryptocurrency based businesses are getting penalized, the market keeps going, a sign that only a few of this businesses should be in existence. Because if SEC can't harm cryptocurrency they'll focus mainly on crypto based businesses. I think the 4.7 billion sanction is more than enough to freeze whatever asset they may have. While Celsius is a big company, they don't really go as big as the titans in the industry like FTX and Binance which holds multi-billion treasuries. So with that being said the government is pretty much able to control whatever remaining stuff they have. While I want to agree with your statement too about the market carrying on despite the fact that SEC's going ham on penalizing these crypto-based businesses left and right, it's pretty much because well, we just moved on and realized that antagonizing them is a big waste of energy and resource, cause if they did ban crypto we can just go elsewhere lmao. |

What I would suggest, and this is coming from a former gambling addict, is to actually stop when you're already contemplating whether you should carry on with your gambling routine or stop it completely. 9 times out of 10 it would always be because you're either exhausted with the gambling setup you're in and you need to take a breather, or you're already discovering certain signs of gambling addiction and these glimpses are giving you some sort of cognitive dissonance, either way the best thing to do is to not actually contemplate a plan which would only lead you to gamble further, but to take a second to think about it, stop gambling for a while, and only come back when you're positive you've already gone past that hurdle.
It's better to quit than to think and be trapped, Gambling isn't something you should just dilly-dally around cause it chips away at your mental with every loss no matter how much you tell me you're only gambling for fun, actually meditating upon your current situation will help even more than thinking about how to go about your next gambling session.

I have heard the advice that you should only use money you can afford to lose for gambling. I say that this is more theoretical than practical. Literally no one has money that they can afford to lose. I feel that money for gambling is a matter of opportunity cost. You either use the money for gambling or use it to meet a need. If using money one can afford to lose were practical there will be no need for articles on having a gambling budget or bank roll management. Hey gamblers my question is to you now is, the money you currently plan to use for gambling is it money that you can afford to lose?
If you think you had no money you could afford to lose, that's all the more reasons you shouldn't gamble in the first place! You're only speaking for yourself, a lot of us here had enough money to play around with which makes gambling something that we can afford. I'm not poverty-shaming or whatnot but the fact alone that you think no one's able to afford gambling money so we should just go with it anyway tells me that either you're someone who's really incapable of gambling due to your financial situation that you're projecting and supposing as if everyone's in the same boat as you, or you're a chronic gambler who's trying to make sense of things and your logic. You can't make me think otherwise. |
