Diversify portfolio and Money management would be the key and of course you should'nt forget about Psychological and Emotional aspect yet this would be also a big factor which could really affect your

decisions and conclusions on which it will might end up such a waste just because you cant think off properly on what or how things should be done.This would really involved lots of trial and errors
on which results or outcome would really be varying on each person thats why we cant draw conclusions yet there are lots of factors to consider for you to look upon.
1862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where does your country stand ? on: April 29, 2022, 08:35:08 PM
I am very surprised to see countries such as Norway and Finland on a list together with some hardcore gambling nations. I have spent some time in Scandinavia in the past and gambling wasn't a big thing back in those days. I guess things have changed especially with the evolution of online casinos. I remember them as being quite passionate about horse racing and lotteries. But physical casinos and sportsbooks weren't that easy to find.   

Yes, I agree. In fact, Norway and Finland have state-controlled monopolies on all forms of gambling, both offline and online, so its surprising that they are among the top gambling countries. I also fail to see how they can be compared to the Australia or some of the other "gambling countries". This could be because these countries have a very popular state lottery, and since the list is ranked by gambling losses per adult, this would explain why they are in it. State lotteries have probably the worst odds of any common form of gambling and are known for very low RTPs.

Lottery we do know does have almost-close to impossible kind of odds and thats why they are really that accumulating huge prizes and of course they would get nasty % of that total amount.

Considering we are talking about millions then it would really be a good source or revenue for a certain country.This do talk or mention about in overall aspect.
Surveys couldnt really be that on precise for us to rely or believe on and if we do tend to look around or list then we could really see different results or
pile up of countries.

A lot of people engage in crypto not because they Want to or because they know about it but because they see other making money off it, they don't really know what they've been through or how the road map to their success looks like. Every successful story have it ups and downs so crypto itself have no exception.
For a noob and on the time you are seeing someone specially on social media or other places on the net on which you do see that they do earn money on most easy way you do see visually
which you would really be having that initial impression that it would really be might be possible for you to get on the same results if you do tend to trade too.
This is the reason on why we do really lost money when we are just newbie because we do believe on things which are totally unrealistic or cant really be possible.
1864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Klay Thompson @51 for NBA Finals MVP. on: April 28, 2022, 10:46:44 PM
Thus far, I believe that Klay Thompson is the most consistent on the big 3 of the Warriors. The defense was obviously focused on Curry and that will make Thompson open because he is always the first option if Curry would passed, as a result, he will generate more points easily.

So I see the odds, and it's 51, IMO, that's very tempting.

The question is, is it worth taking it?
Well, I'm not sure as well.
But even that, many were too close to see Curry become MVP if they reach the finals. And I'm not certain if they will just base on the points generated upon proclaiming who will be the MVP. However, this may not cause disappointment to whether which among the two will get the reward as their goal is to win the finals as a team, not an individual goal.
It wont be basing on points made for sure.
HEre are some points about on how MVP is chosen.

To be considered for MVP, a player must demonstrate a high level of personal achievement, as well as team leadership and flashes of brilliance. As long as we keep discussing who the MVP is, the NBA will never give us a clear definition or set of criteria for the award. Every evaluator grades based on their own criteria. This is made easier as there are usually only a few candidates who make a strong case for the prize each season.

I would recommend Binance nothingless if we do just talk about overall reliability and trust or popularity and much sure that majority of people would definitely agree on this point.

I dont have any experience on using Bybit but if i were you then better stick with top exchangers. Speaking of sign up bonus?

You would need somehow on being referred by someone or simply reg with affiliate links.
1866  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is it always about price? on: April 28, 2022, 08:34:24 PM
Why is it always about price?

Why should it not?? I mean what's the problem in that? Have we reached to a stage where a person can fully live on cryptocurrencies alone? I guess not! So what's the problem in talking about price points? It makes sense from a real world perspective and you can assume your wealth based on a standard parameter. That's what everyone wants. Price point is the biggest factor for any cryptos. The transaction volume and blah-blah-blah doesn't really matter if a price of a coin reaches to zero.

Why do you think stablecoins are so successful in crypto market? It gives the convenience of a standard parameter like fiat and security like crypto. If you remove the price point from a cryptocurrency, nothing else will be strong enough to hold its ground.


You are definitely right on this one because if price movement isnt something that should be talking about then we arent seeing for this market to become this big and its true that there's a significant importance

on which people do keeps eye on the price because if they dont see about potential earnings and benefits in holding for long term then people would less interested to it which is understandable.

So its just a norm that we would really be always talking about this manner and since its unpredictable then its not really that easy to engage on.

Nevertheless, someone is saying that he/she has been scammed. But I won't pass judgement though, maybe if we can see more and what really happen in this case and hopefully it can be resolved in a nice manner.
They are clearly lying through their teeth. Why? Because they aren't providing any sort of proof to backup their statements and just keep accusing the casino which implies that they are simply mindless trolls.

Some of them have issues with Royse which is why they are trying to defame him and this site which isn't working since they are in the wrong.
This is what i've been thinking considering or trying to look back on few pages then you could see these trolls are trying out to make something looks wrong which could really able to generate out that bad impression

towards the site or this platform without even showing off some proofs in regarding with the issue or problems and even  the owner itself had boggled out on why it do happen.  Cheesy
1868  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Give Your Feedback About Bitcoin Today ? on: April 27, 2022, 11:40:45 PM
Hi Guys, here I want to talk about Bitcoin. Basically Bitcoin is the only coin that is in great demand and highly sought after by people who enter the world of Cryptocurrency, even very many people are looking for ways and finding ways how they can get this Bitcoin, of whom there are those who do Mining, Trading maybe also included.

Bitcoin's value is now so low, what's the reason? give your feedback?

How you do consider for the price to be low? There's no such thing about low price or bottom price because everything could really be in random or cant be known on what would be the sweet spot.

If you do love to deal with established coins then bitcoin would be the key but dont expect that its value would rise up really that fast compared into low cap coins around.

Invest on what you can afford to lose and dont mind about profiting in a short time.
1869  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders paradise on: April 27, 2022, 10:39:59 PM
Before I started cryptocurrency trading I have always hard this friend who is a pro cryptocurrency trader and have always shown me his profits but never told me how long he has been into cryptocurrency trading, but I have known him for crypto trading for close to two years now and in this period I only saw his success stories.

Now I decided to start trading after many persuasion and am beginning to have a rough experience but all the while I have only viewed cryptocurrency trading as an all good venture
Have you see with how much loss from your friend? I think you take care and check with your friend profit only trough trading on cryptocurrency and never ask him with how many time failed and loss much money on cryptocurrency trading. I just give opinion for you how keep research and know detail with risk on cryptocurrency trading, when bad thing happen begin with cryptocurrency trading you have ready face it, actually not only with profit have take care but also you need to know when bad thing suddenly price drop and loss much on cryptocurrency.
Losses are inevitable but its understandable that his friend might still be profitable since he had been continuing trading which means he does still have the money or capital for him to do so.

If he was losing that much then recovery would really be that hard and its true that seeing a friend who is really that involved with trading and showing off some profits could really make some
boost up but as our common sense would tell us that this isnt something  that could really be happening once we do step our foot on the same industry.
Results would vary and depending on different factors.

1 month long art contest has finished, and we're just holding up the declaration of the best 10 winners. Some outstanding entries, few entries are so much professional. Those professional artist demonstrated with theme, Spring and Easter. It's nice to see how the participants showcase their ideas. Advance congratulation to those participants and who grabs the top 10 prices this time.
The thread is still open. Hhampuz still have not written any post that it is "closed" nor locked the thread. Meaning, anyone can still submit their art.

You can still pass your works guys Smiley Goodluck!

Anyways, there are lots of submissions this time, it's a good competition.
I don't recommend to submit your art works after the timeline for the contest ends, if you missed the time for some obvious reasons then its better to ask the manager via PM and hopefully he will consider then can post the arts if its allowed by the management.
Its just common sense bro on which its part of your responsibility that you should submit your work before due date so that it would be included out and also basing up on how Hhampuz manage out these

things then he do usually lock up the thread to avoid further entries that users might pass after the given time considering on the ample time that they had given then you cant blame them if you

do make yourself not able to submit or simply being late which is totally your own mistake and not theirs.
1871  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: April 27, 2022, 08:59:21 PM
Drake was certainly the perfect fit for stake casino and has been an active fan of it so definitely, their partnership will create a good exposure on the part of stake that will open doors for more players and users that will bring high advantage for stake. The two will end up having good collaboration that will bring new experiences on the platform's users.
Yeah, that's a good partnership for both of them. A celebrity and player of their casino is an ideal partnership that they've built up. The model on this partnership is that other casinos will have the idea to look upon those celebs that are really into their casino and actually plays.
Or, understands the platform itself so that there's product knowledge for his followers to catch up what he's up to.
Well, the truth is yes, there is no denying it, but the movements that have been made in stake.com knowing how to choose the best influencers, although not influencers but people who actually represent and move the masses, not only to give a good vision to stake.com , but Drake represents that it moves fibers in many people, the mere fact that he is a person who is in the middle of casinos and bets, makes many who did not believe in BTC believe in the economy, this not only helps the industry of games, I think things go much further, touching on adoption and the fact that stake.com is one of the platforms that are gallant in the adoption of BTC is a very great privilege that it brings to the world.

No matter what form or method or ways on which exposure had been  done or been showed off as long it do share up on the same motive or intent in terms of adoption and exposure then its always been a good thing

Between partnerships with these celebs or influencers with crypto companies and casinos it do really shows off mutual benefits to each other plus of course it do really add up in overall adoption.
Some been saying that they had make it him as a partner just because he was a whale gambler on the site but we know that personal decisions couldnt be something that we do have right
to oppose.
1872  Other / Archival / Re: Why has bitcoin adoption failed in El Salvador? on: April 27, 2022, 08:14:03 PM
Nayib legalized bitcoin as a legal tender but not with its freedom. Instead of teaching its citizens about the basic technicalities of bitcoin, the government introduced the Chivo centralized wallet which meant the population was directed to remain in government control from the start. I had predicted that they would fail that way, and the initial sign was a problematic wallet which was a little frustrating.
The wallet is problematic in one way, but it was meant to create awareness among the common people about the usage of bitcoin providing $30 free. We can't state the bitcoin adoption a failure in El Salvador. It is almost 7-8 months since the bitcoin adoption happened in El Salvador, which means we're getting into conclusion in a very fast manner.

Based on the data provided by OP, there is lack of usage of Chivo wallet, majority haven't downloaded it, very little businesses around the country have begun to accept bitcoin. Most of the businesses that accept bitcoin too is converting it to USD within a short time. So, different factors indicating that there is no big movement within the country as per the plan. Surely this is a success in the long term.
7-8 month duration after of the said legal tender kind of decision wont really be that enough or something that we could make out conclusions out on that very short time manner but at least we are seeing that there

are people who do really tend to make use of that Chivo wallet.Wont really be that an assured thing though if users would increase in numbers overtime but at least there is some recognition.

I do agree on the sense about being centralized as it do really introduce about a custodial wallet which people do mind about anonymity will surely be opposing with that idea.
1873  Economy / Gambling / Re: Another New Rule On Gambling Adverts Ban Celebrities and Sports Stars on: April 26, 2022, 11:40:24 PM
It does not seem clear to me what this new rule mean. It does not seem to be a ban on using sports personalities,,, just to not let them target Under 18s (which for me is a very very fair rule).

Role models like it or not live in a different time,,, but they can post their half naked bodies on IG and Under18s can see that easily (or use Google on their own of course).
This people are creating different rules just to jeopardize our passion but who cares about it. I think they are trying to reduce the influence of sport celebrities on teenagers and gambling addicts. The rule are meant to target gambling platform with bigger restrictions from using the influence of celebrities to lure innocent children, maybe adults too from becoming gambling addictive.
That's a good try though!

No the rules are clearly to protect under18s,,, not gambling addicts Smiley Not adults as they are responsible for their own decisions.

Of course there are also exceptions as I have met very mature children and myself,,, probably was still immature in my 20s as I remember ICO days hehe, but anyway moot point. Rules are rules and people voted for their governments.
They dont really have any choice but to deal on what their government had set upon and if it turns out that this would be implemented out strictly then there's nothing that they could do.

Its clear that this rule or law does really tend to protect the youth or minors which usually does have already some idols which it would be understandable on the chances for them
to get involved once they've seen things which is attached to gambling.So i do say that it is really just not a bad idea to impose such laws.
1874  Economy / Economics / Re: The first rule of investing is saving on: April 26, 2022, 10:39:00 PM
Yeah, the saving part is the most important thing before even thinking about making an investment into a cryptocurrency. I think that one shouldn't invest their some amount of salary right after they get it. Rather than that, saving money for some time is always better. After that, you can invest maybe not all but some amount of your savings into a cryptocurrency for a long term. It is really like sacrificing it for some time (maybe a year or more than that etc.).
I totally agree with your opinion, the real purpose of investment is saving, so if we save, we definitely shouldn't save all our income in bitcoin, but we also have to invest in other places like gold, and leave a little money we have for daily needs. Today, my goal in investing in gold is when I need an urgent need, I can immediately resell it for my needs, while bitcoin has an uncertain price.
Would really be just common sense that we should have some savings and at the same time we do have other investments on where we could rely on in terms of other sources of income which would help us to

survive this daily living.Gold is good but people tend to switch into other place like crypto because of the possible profits that you could make but we know that diversification would be always be the best.

We could save more that came from our investment and we could invest came from our savings and vice versa.
1875  Economy / Gambling / Re: Quick solution to integrate a provably fair option for the prize draw on: April 26, 2022, 09:40:09 PM
Hi, Bitcointalk community,
For every 100 EUR wagered, the player gets one raffle ticket. Of course, the more tickets collected,  the better your chances of winning the top prize.
On this kind of contest, I've always thought that those with the highest number of raffle tickets automatically wins, but later on, I came to the realization that it is not so, that even those with 1 raffle ticket has a chance at winning, so having this in my mind, I would go with the suggestion of the first comment from @mocacinno, I've been on several contest where bitcoin block method was used as a form of determining the winner(s), and every one was always satisfied with the result knowing it wasn't manipulated in any way, it is purely based on luck.
Even if you do have a single ticket then you would really be having the chance on winning the lottery.Of course there would be people who have some doubts when it comes to draws but most commonly

it would be done via hash draw, livestream roll or something like that which it would really be clearing out those doubts but there are some who arent really that still convinced on this part.

reputable casinos had already proved out about fairness which do leaves no doubt into its players.
1876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Can NFT be used as an investment? on: April 26, 2022, 08:37:02 PM
but for some reason, personally I'm not very interested in NFT, even though it's trending, when I buy it, what do I use it for, as a collection, it's better to collect quality tokens, in the NFT sector, art creators benefit the most  , when other people don't understand the design, sit still, buy NFT, for those who like it, yes, for those who win over hobbies, they want to spend money to buy and sell NFT.
You would really be thinking on how dumb those people who are considering on buying a shitty art for millions of dollars which i dont really see a solid reason behind which you could really make out some conclusions

that this trend is really just basing up with pure hype and fomo moments on where people had been driven off to ride with this current trend.I would rather with DeFi's than on this one.

Even myself havent seeing on putting up some funds with NFT's yet i dont see any significant reason on making it as an investment.
1877  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders Stop Being Greedy. on: April 26, 2022, 07:52:54 PM
One of the reasons why traders loose money everyday in their trading is 'greed'. A trader will hear about a particular coins he wouldn't even do research or proper findings to know the future of the coins which he wants to trade his money on but rather the greed in the trader will push him to use all he has with the aim of making 4 or 5 times of his trading capital.
Traders are big risk takers so everyone should know what he or she is trading on so that when you loose which is normal, you will learn more.
No trader is perfect but mastering coins you trade on can help you, remember trading is like a gamble you either gain or loose.
Do not trade with everything you have,your egg can not be save in one basket, I have lost but I have gained more in trading with the help of research and mentorship programs.
We cant even deny the truth that when we are still a noob then we do really have thoughts that we could really make ourselves get rich easily with this type of career which it do ends up for you to make

big position trading kind of behavior on where you do act just like a gambler on where you do go all in with your trades.Once you do end up on getting wrekt then this is where you do make out self realizations

that you are dealing on something which cant really be handled out easily but well thats how people do have start up impression.

I would normally be suggesting the website thats on my signature space not only that they've been paying me but also due to real experience.
You could choose up lots of varities of games offered on the market today and this site is a long time running casino too which would really be putting

You could check out their current promotions and rewards which is something interesting

1879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Widespread adoption may result to lesser anonymity, one of my biggest fears. on: April 25, 2022, 10:41:39 PM
The biggest issue limiting most government consider and majorly the reason why bitcoins adoption has been slow is in my opinion the anonymity involved and the inability for government to directly be a party to your transaction.
If there were no such issues, gaining widespread adoption will not even be a topic for discussion as it would have happened already or almost done being adopted I think.

Can the governments of the world let bitcoin become fully in use in their respective countries without pushing for lesser anonymity and a way for them to monitor the system?
No government will approve that they can't get to control or at least regulate it. Everything will have an eye from the government, so most likely its anonymity will be lessen eventually. As from being decentralized going into being centralized, that will always be the case just like those decentralized exchanges that are forced to ask for KYC, otherwise they will not permitted to operate. Same thing with bitcoin, if it aims for its widespread adoption, then the government should always take part on it.
We would really be going into that path considering that crypto is really getting some attention now then government would really be targeting platforms or services which are engaged nor get involved with crypto

since this is the only way that they could really be able to deal with and not totally able to touch up literally or technically so they wont really be having any options which would be ending up to this.

Lets just accept that fate because we are really heading that way and its something that cant be stopped.
1880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Still Supporting And Playing On Newly Launch Casinos on: April 25, 2022, 09:54:50 PM
Almost every week there are one or two new casinos launching here, this section is already a big number of casinos there are good and bad new casinos here, these new casinos know that for them to stay in the game and be competitive they have offer new things and bonuses and giveaways.

Are you still supporting new casinos even if you're already playing in so many casinos do you still have room for new casino to deposit and play?
 
for me, a new gambling site is really worth trying, especially a new gambling site that is doing big promos. but to make a deposit on a new gambling site, I won't to do it because I've been deterred from making a deposit on a scam gambling site that just launched

Once you do have some experience on being scammed when you do deposit on a newly launched casinos then you would really be having the lifetime impression and learning that you wont really be doing the same

mistakes and this is where you do really hesitate on making out deposits and rather wait for other people feedbacks first before you would consider on making the same step and this is what im doing
On which i do really wait up some real time feedbacks and find out if there are no problems specially on deposits and withdrawals and then thats the time i do really consider out
on doing such step if i do get convinced on doing so.
