I guess the benefits of this white card is just not that realized because of how recent this has been added, but once the football federation or whatever the heck's supposed to preside these games finally figure out what they want this white card to do, we'd probably see better benefit and usage of it over time. I think it is important even only as a symbol because Soccer is a game that thrives in penalties. Look how overreacting some athletes are just for the enemy to score a yellow or a red card. The white card, once established may become a breath of fresh air in this otherwise negative sport and we may as well see athletes work more for that white card rather than act all sissy just to gain an advantage over the opposing team.

Agreed. But I was made aware of the fact that casinos are mostly set up on places where people are likely more to spend. But geographically discriminating? I don't think so. If anything, I could attribute this as a gambler pinning the blame on someone or something for losing a lot of money on a certain spot and then winning a couple on the other. It's all a bias in your brain, like thinking that you have a certain lucky number. One must be responsible enough to reconsider his/her actions and what led them to that moment, and not blame anything but yourself. After all, you should've gambled knowing all too well that you most likely wouldn't keep all your money in one piece, otherwise why would you gamble in the first place, for profit?

Regardless of how great of a person you are, you don't toy with your partner's feelings. Of all things you could bet on, you'd bet on your marriage lasting over a specific period of time. That's just nuts. As a fellow gambler I can sympathize with him losing a lot of his money over gambling but I'd say with what happened between him and his ex-wife, he had it coming. Still, to lose almost half of all you own on a single streak is just something. I'm pretty sure he still has the avenues and opportunities to reclaim most of the earnings he lost through other ways. But man, that is just a punch in the gut if I ever see one.

Well to be fair, the Nigerian Prince Email scam is still running even to this day. They just use different tactics now. But I digress. The fact that chargebacks are as easy to execute as breathing is the main reason why most casinos nowadays settle with using cryptocurrency payments, because at least when you use crypto you don't have any power over it anymore. Then again CC is still a pretty rampant payment method amongst casinos so I see why it could still see some usage, and I understand the fact that this is a crypto forum but people come in here, especially in this particular part of the site for gambling advises and tips as well, so I think it's alright that OP mentioned it.

Casinos depend on the people's return for cashflow. They know that at some point, winners will return to their premises and bet again, even if they won jackpots. It's just the way things go. Most of these jackpot winners end up losing their money to the same casino/people who gave them the prize because of poor cash management. Then end up betting again, chasing their luck on a win that you might as well expect would never come. You aren't supposed to turn a profit in betting within a casino in the first place, that's why I always advocate for gambling for entertainment only, never for profit. Because at the end of the day you'll end up disappointed and penniless when you gamble for profit.

I think she deserves her comeuppance. You don't toy with people's trust, let alone a close relative. because that bond can never be topped by any price. Although honestly speaking the victim's at fault here too. not blaming them for trusting a close relative but then again this is millions of dollars in lottery winnings we are talking about. Indeed. When it comes to money, treat everyone as your enemy. That's what it looks like nowadays. I can see the victim being at fault in this part of the story so I agree with you. You can never be too trusting of people regardless of blood or whatever affiliation. People nowadays would trade you for a hotdog so you have to really be on the lookout, especially for life-changing events like these.

Gambling is frowned upon in Japan as far as I know, but not outrightly banned. Although some districts and prefectures are banning gambling entirely, because of the Yakuza connections that most casinos within Japan has. Yakuza can pretty much do whatever the hell they want in Japan, as long as they don't break the law, Horse Racing is a Yakuza-sanctioned sport in Japan, and most bosses there own race horses, funny story, you can't even make a mockery of their horses there coz that will seriously get you killed by the Yakuza, but I digress. It's all about their organized crime group there, and if they want it, they can do it. That is why the government itself isn't really keen on gambling but you'd see illegal gambling houses in Japan's busiest areas.

Honestly not getting my hopes up with Donaire knowing how old he is already but from his last fight with Inoue it seems like he still has the hunger for boxing. That being said AFAIK just like what OP said he is vying to fight El Gallo to claim 5 divisions for himself. Although he may entertain this fight because worse comes to worse, he's going to be better prepared against fighters that are younger than him considering moloney's age, best case scenario he has a title to bag for himself. February is not too far now and I think they'd rush the two because money needs to be made. So we may see the two of them fight probably February or any other month that will give them both the time and prep.

More and more enterprises outside the industry is seeing the potential use for blockchain, apart from it being affiliated with crypto and the works. Which is why there's employment opportunity for web3 in the first place. Even as early as now companies and governments are studying how they can make use of blockchain's technology. I could remember Philippine's Scientific Research Department (DOST) even putting up scholarships for courses that teach blockchain technology, completely separate from cryptocurrency. So yeah, future's looking bright for all blockchain visionaries out there. Bitcoin has a possibility to die out eventually but as it stands today, blockchain may persist for a very long time, and it will bring in a whole market of careers and opportunities with it. Lmao, I thought I was the only one who noticed. Either Olien's just not good at constructing productive and relevant content so he tries to copy whichever comes before him or he's really using alts, either way not gonna be good for the both of them.

With a trillion dollar market cap and an ever-growing industry, it is quite possible that in the near future, cryptocurrency could play a major role in the world market, especially when global adoption is realized. But for now, it wouldn't be the case because as it stands, cryptocurrencies and bitcoin adjacently is still in its infant state. A lot of improvements within the infrastructure and also within the industry itself must be changed before it could take on the world market. For instance, it's heavy reliance on its deflationary nature makes it not fit for long-term usage, as the developers would have to choose between high value, or more customers. Scams are also rampant in this industry, but so is anywhere else, the problem is that this is debilitating for an industry as recent as the cryptocurrency world.

If you don't learn how to make money work for you, you're going to die working for money all your life. That's the harsh reality we live in. We must know somewhere down the line that earning passive income apart from your employment or entrepreneurial profits is the way to go, especially as things stir down to a decline in the economy. Worse comes to worst, once the economic decline do happen you'd have enough greenbacks and savings to get by, if not, even better. It's even easier now to learn about these stuff, especially with the rampancy of internet and information within it. You can literally look for a book on how to gain financial freedom while frying an egg at the same time, so really, provided that you are living quite well, you have no excuse to not learn how to be financially smart.

Right from the get-go? No, not really. But CZ eventually realized that something was fishy about FTX and the way they handle their customers funds, thus the $500 million liquidation. He's as transparent as anyone in that situation can be. He let the people know that something was wrong with FTX, which was his reason to pull out their investments in the company, whether this caused a bank run or not is still up for debate, but I'm leaning towards the latter, because losing a competitor in a still budding industry like this is tantamount to a whole infrastructure collapse. Something that he of all people, is not keen about. Anyhow, the damage has set in and we are slowly recovering from the fuckups of SBF. If you're trying to pin the blame to CZ for letting people know about the issues that FTX hid from their customers, go for it, but it doesn't change the fact that SBF mismanaged FTX funds, even went so far as to gamble some of it in hopes of recovering losses to fund customer withdrawals.

It's basically because of the fact that they cannot regulate cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoin in this situation. They argue that crime could go rampant, and energy will become a massive issue, courtesy of homemade bitcoin mining rigs, if bitcoin is allowed and legalized in their country, which to some extent is true, as some criminal activities and transactions are made through bitcoin let's be honest and the fact that as of now crypto mining is still one big detractor in energy consumption amongst the public. But as OP said in his title, it is a double-edged sword, as it definitely disempowers the public to gain financial capability through bitcoin and the employments it could offer. But the battle is almost over I reckon, more and more countries are accepting of bitcoin compared to those who are against it. Only two outcomes remain.

I wouldn't say surest really, maybe "most accessible". Because a lot of ventures out there provide long-term profit without the high volatility bitcoin entails, but the thing that sets bitcoin apart from them is the fact that it is easily accessible, even by a toddler with half-a-brain to search in the internet. As long as you have a working internet connection and some money, you can buy bitcoin easily. And there are multitudes of lessons and guides as well on how to flourish in this industry, from trading, to making your own project. This is very different from other ventures out there with trade secrets they don't want to divulge to some nobody. But again, at the end of the day, they are all equally profitable and when done right, would lead you to financial freedom. Be very careful with instilling information to your kids.

If I'm being honest the last week's price of bitcoin is a little insignificant for me, as I believe that the bear market is still far from over despite what other analysts and people may think or predict. Bitcoin and the crypto market is cyclical, and it follows a pattern, in the times that it didn't, it's because there was a huge paradigm shift that happened, prompting people to go bullish on buying cryptocurrencies and bitcoin as a result. This is no different, in fact, the next halving wouldn't happen til sometime next year, so if you'll ask me, unless something major is to happen within this year, I wouldn't put my hopes up on bitcoin entering a bullish season within this year.

ChatGPT is a powerful assistant tool, but through my usage of it over time (I'm a copywriter, and I use a ChatGPT to help supplant me with ideas and new words to use and abuse throughout my works), I would lie if I say it wasn't useful, but it's not on par with how we work. ChatGPT, despite the fact that it is marketed as a conversational and human-like chat tool, still lacks a couple areas in authenticity which makes it stand out when checking comes around. So I don't think the tool will effectively destabilize or even replace white collar work, what I predict will happen is that the tool will be an aid to many people especially within the aforementioned white-collar-sector where it would be indispensable.

Indeed. But I do think these sign-up bonuses are just there to really trick you into signing up to their platform. Which works for a lot of people. But the main thing is that, well they wanna have you registered to track your progress and activity within their platform, so it's a win-win for the casino and for you. Some may say professional gamblers won't settle for bonuses but those only apply to them. Most gamblers out here do not intend to gamble for fame and acclaim, we either gamble for money and entertainment. So these bonuses are specifically perfect and made for us.

You barely gave us anything to work with in terms of why we should choose your platform, let alone a reason why we should switch with the ones we have already got accustomed with. Licensing? really? we literally have a lot of reputable casinos out here with licenses that could vouch for themselves, I don't think having a license sets you apart from the main competitors in the market. I do think you need a lot when it comes to promotions, as well as setting people's expectations because just posting something like that here won't do, it even makes your site suspicious if I do say so myself. A lot of good peeps here can put you up with a campaign organizer that could help you promote your project, you should try that.

  Exactly. Some people out here really making it look like choosing the right casino for you is like looking for the holy grail with all these subjective opinions. What OP wants is a fool-proof system or at least a good recommendation, not some highfalutin bs like some people here. I had to give OP a list of what they want to look for in a casino. While some people give opinions on why this is better, some even praising him for opening a thread which is praise-worthy, don't get me wrong, but it really diverts the topic of what OP wants. Ultimately he just needs to research and decide for themselves if they want to invest their time and effort on this particular casino.

At most times it is subjective but for me it doesn't have to be. There are telltale signs of a casino being great and that's where I mostly bank on. Sure, tastes could really affect how you would answer OP's questions but this guy is most likely a newbie, I don't think giving him/her your subjective opinion about how to choose a good casino is going to help him. I'm looking at comments from these people giving him circular definitions of things when it could just be plain and simple. They clearly want help, we should give them objective thoughts only and remove bias from the setting.
