I was wondering if anyone made a fish arcade game (king of treasure, ocean king,etc.)with bitcoin or alt coins yet?
It’s very popular in Hawaii for about 10+years
something like fish hunting?  I see many game developer tried this before but  they are not continue having it.s  i actually want to also see this game and play again even playing using my mobile.
 for now i can only play that game in mall if i want to enjoy some of my time playing.

It's a pretty common game in the Philippines if I'm not mistaken. Although you'd mostly find them in kid's places and arcades, Never once encountered a full-fledged fish-hunting game in my entire life in a casino. Funny thing is that even though there's supposed to be no incentive with playing the game, they still found ways to profit from it somehow. The game is addicting to say the least, so some people reserve seats for other players for a price, some sell tokens for cheaper than in-house token exchanges, and some outright cash their tickets out for either real money or exchangeable goodies in the counter. Basically a whole new economy that you wouldn't notice at a first glance.

Altcoins and Crypto versions have yet to fly/swim (pun intended) within my radar, so unless someone ports it online and makes a version of it that is also available for online PVP, then no.

As humans, we are conditioned to look for patterns in life and we gamblers try to make predictions based on what we see, while we are gambling. The reality is that these patterns does not exist, but we like to pretend that they do because it helps us to bring order to the chaos that are gambling.  Roll Eyes

Some people seem to think that your bet size will increase your chances to win, but that is simply a myth. The reality is that it simply means your payouts will be bigger when you do win.

A lot of my friends believe that it is better to spin the Slots manually, because "Auto spin" are rigged by the casinos... but that is also a myth. A lot of things come into play when a bet is made and it has nothing to do with the "auto bet" feature. (Client Seed / Server Seed & RNG and RTP ...)

Have you pressed the "bet" button, before the reels have stopped.. thinking that it will give you a favorable outcome on your bet? Well, I have news for you... the outcome has been decided in milliseconds after you pressed the button for the bet, the GUI interface happens long after that to display the outcome of the bet to you.  Grin (Go into the developer mode of your browser to see this)

What patterns do you see and how much do you believe in it?
Gambler's Fallacy basically. Our pattern-loving brains making a fool out of us and making us believe that just because a particular outcome hasn't happened in a while, would equate to meaning it would happen soon, which is just wrong and is a fool's way of thinking in my opinion.

As for your friends' being iffy with the auto-spin feature of the slots they play. That's a little stupid too as you put it lmao. If the casino could rig their machines to favor them when a gambler uses auto-spin, what makes them safe from getting ripped off by the casino with the manual spin as well? And for that matter why are they playing in a casino that they do not trust?

As for me, I often fall victim to gambler's fallacy, especially back in the days when I don't know better. I used to gamble a lot on dice and hi-lo, as well as slots, which are very prone to this type of Fallacy. I crank the lever, lose, and say to myself that "since the jackpot's not come this turn, maybe in the next couple of spins I'd get it" only to be disappointed over and over again.
1483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: April 28, 2023, 07:51:18 PM
How can two persons be so addicted to gambling that they'll go to such an extent? Apparently the mother is definitely not a good role model to the son. The son definitely needs a strong father figure which is what he lacks. I don't like the punishment or fine give  to them. It is not going to be in anyway effective. Their punishment could have been rehabilitation and community service.
The thing with chronic addicts is that, there's no limit to their creativity. Long as they can get the fix which in this case is getting more money or getting their losses back so they can gamble some more, they don't care about anything else. You could see this with cokeheads and crackheads, who sometimes go out of their way to sell appliances, pets, and even personal belongings just so they can get money to fund their addiction. The question of the mother not being a good role model is pretty much case-shut since how in the hell is your son afflicted to the same problem that you're in. As for the punishment, I would agree with you because at the end of the day once they get back to society they'll just resort to gambling and doing stupid things that will get them incarcerated again.
1484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: April 28, 2023, 06:49:32 PM
Let me just say, the copium huff is so hard on your friends' parts.

Sure, there is risk involved with gambling and investing, hell I can even agree with them in the fact that they said investing is pretty much like gambling. But the fact of the matter is, at least in investing, certain practices, disciplines, and knowledge are there to help you become successful in your craft, and in turn earn money in the process. In gambling you pretty much crank the lever and hope for the best. No thought involved, risk ceiling as high as you can put into the table, and the benefits not even going to last you over your lifetime, at least statistically. So in the grand scheme of things they are still losing big time while you on the other hand, casual gambler as you are, gain profits in the process.

What are you getting out of this OP?

Are you doing this because you can? Then I'm sad to say but you'll need to shut it down. I don't need to explain how unsecure and dangerous these types of connections are, not to mention the fact that you'll inconvenience people who are hoping to get free internet access when they needed it the most. If you could download the blockchain using your home internet, please do it for the sake of convenience and the sanity of the people who'll connect to that public wifi service.
1489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal Vs Bitcoin: Who is the Big Guy? on: April 27, 2023, 05:34:13 PM
Paypal is a money remittance system. Bitcoin is a whole and bona fide currency with its own economy, trade, supply and circulation. Don't misconstrue them for being similar just because you could send money with both.

With Paypal, you don't need to convert your money into a different currency to transfer it to someone. It's a straightforward process, and your recipient's gonna get their money in a day or two depending on bank schedules and whatever scheduling Paypal follows when sending money.

With bitcoin, the same could be said, although you have to convert the money you'd like to transfer into corresponding amounts in bitcoin, and only from there will you be able to send it to your recipient, who also has to convert it back to USD or whichever currency they'd like to be able to use them.

Furthermore, bitcoin is tradeable, money from Paypal is not. You can swap it for different currencies yes, but what it only does is convert you money, therefore not yielding you any profits. It's a different story with bitcoin, wherein trades made with it could yield you profits.

1495  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin price control by human agents or electronic technology? on: April 24, 2023, 08:29:42 PM
Bitcoin is controlled by the public's outlook and faith. The more people that are believing in bitcoin and are cashing in on that belief, the more valuable it becomes. Electronic Technology in the sense that bitcoin has something it could offer technologically that other commodities couldn't could still play a part, but if you're talking about bitcoin's value being bloated and artificially pumped by botters, that is not the case. This isn't to say that bitcoin has a central organization that decides the price, but it's more like a consensus that the general decentralized and democratic public agreed upon over years of service.
1496  Economy / Economics / Re: marry rich: marry fiat rich or crypto rich, which is better? on: April 24, 2023, 07:41:13 PM
First off, What the hell. Why are you going to depend on your future spouse for your future stability? that's just belligerent and irresponsible on your part, and a little selfish too coz now you'd have to put the trouble of tending to yourself in the future to your husband/wife. That's just stupid.

But let me humor your question for a bit. Suppose you'd be given the chance to marry between someone who's fiat rich and someone who's cryptocurrency rich. I'd be practical and pick Fiat Rich. With its long-running stability, and the fact that Inflation works for the Rich, it just means that I'd get safety nets after safety nets, ensuring that I have a future to rely on. Which couldn't be said when it comes to cryptocurrency. The price of crypto is unstable, you could become cryptocurrency rich today and live in a cardboard box in abject poverty tomorrow, which doesn't happen in fiat rich people.

1497  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Inflation Happening All Over the World At Once? on: April 24, 2023, 06:48:23 PM
Could attribute it as an aftereffect of the overprinting most countries did during the height of the pandemic. Most countries during those times are eager to help their citizens cope so loans, stipends, allowances, and cash grants (most famous of which are the stimulus checks) are what countries employed to help people have something to spend and still enable the economy by encouraging people to purchase despite the lack of business movement. Since thingns are settling down and the establishments have once again opened their doors to the public, the effects of the overprinting kicked in which lead to the apparent inflation rate increase across the planet. This is not to think that these governments and authorities all banded up to devise a plan to make their currencies even more useless, just a normal course of things.
1498  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think of gold price in long term? on: April 23, 2023, 06:22:08 PM
Only one plausible answer, Gold will continuously increase in value.

The thing about gold is that it's the perfect investment. Limited supply but not that limited that it could be gatekept by the elite few, plus additional supply wouldn't dilute the demand for gold and may even increase it. Practical applications keep it from being relevant even if its visual appeal loses traction from the public, and it's a long-term commodity that has been in circulation ever since Humanity learned to like shiny things. So with that being said, as inflation goes up and the dollar value goes down, commodities and precious metals like gold and silver will remain increasing in value until such a point that it would stabilize again for a millennia or so. That's just how Gold works.
1499  Economy / Economics / Re: Act as a Business Consultant and Provide Counsel on this Issue on: April 23, 2023, 05:41:17 PM
A client comes to me with a potential business idea - Fishery. She has conducted her market research. It is a viable business. She has written down her business plan and the rest of them. Here is are the main issues:-

a) Experience - She lacks the experience in fishery. All she knows about the potential business is hearsay, her research both online and offline, and the Facebook groups she joined. She claims she's going to have a guide from a friend who has done the business in the past.

b) Funding -  She has no funding or rather, she has less than 10% of the funds needed to kick-start the business. She is therefore considering debt financing.

Furthermore, according to her, this is going to be a side-hustle for the main time as he already has a job that brings in income every one. When I quizzed her on how she intends to pay the debts she said from her main job.

I want you to act as a financial analyst and provide advice to her. Should she go ahead with the business, since she said it is serving as a side hustle or should she not even venture into it considering that she has no experience and even though she may be able to pay off the debt from her main job, her lack of experience may cause the business to fail ?
Fisheries and other forms of husbandry like setting up a small to medium-scale poultry farm is never going to be counted as a side hustle. The daily maintenance alone would already cover someone's day, and judging by the way this person looks at it, is something that she will not be capable of committing. Furthermore, there is no substantial information nor experience on her part. Hearsays could only get you so far, and echo chambers like Facebook and Twitter wouldn't do her any good as most of them rely on quack medicine and unscientific practices which would not only harm her business but her community too, environmentally and health-wise.

Issue with funding could be overlooked as loans can be taken in the bank to supplant the lack of capital, but the other points of interest must be examined with great focus, and thus, if I was her financial advisor, I would severely disagree with her plan. It's messy, dangerous, and a massive commitment that I don't think she could take.
1500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is racist on: April 23, 2023, 05:01:44 PM
Pretty sure the SEC will just throw whatever insult or damaging allegation they could against bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry. Lmao of all the things they'd brand bitcoin of, the least it would be is racist.
Come to think of it, in this forum alone we have people from all walks of life and are part of various races at the same time, do we call them out for being African/Asian/Hispanic? I don't think so, at least I don't see.
To add to this, the currency promotes anonymity, how in the hell is that going to equate to racism? It literally blinds everyone of all their identifiable traits in favor of a more secure and more open enterprise.
