The market around plants, vegetables and flowers are too broad. Some do appreciate in value over time depending on the rarity of it and how well you will be able to grow it but not all. Also, if you would like to export the plants, you must either have a good amount of it or either has a great quality to even consider export, if not then stick with your local market. But then again it will depend on which plant you invest with.
On the other hand, I have seen a lot of people who chose to invest on mushrooms as it doesn't really require too much and you can grow on your backyard.

Hindi mawawala sa pag-iisip natin na manghinayang sa mga crypto na nakuha natin noon mapa-faucet, gambling, mining, campaigning at iba pang paraan natin nakuha iyon dati. Ngunit mas maigi kung hahayaan at tatawanan na lang natin dahil may mga nabili naman tayo dahil dito.
Yung 10k Bitcoin Pizza na topic ay laging nauungkat pero naisip ba nila kung magkano lang ang bitcoin dati kung possible ba talaga na bumili ng kahit ano gamit ang bitcoin dati. Pero still, masaya ako na may nangyaring ganyan dahil isa itong patunay na yung crypto ay possible maging future currency nung time na iyan.

Brand maybe built overtime however the brand name should be given consideration as you may have a great functionality but having a bad brand name could affect your casino clientele.
But, yes, I fully agree with you, as your casino brand will be built overtime as how you provide functionalities and provide reliable platform for your clients to gamble with. Also, compensation, promotions and advertisement should also be factored with to widen your platforms reach to new potential clients.

Yes, Lightning Network or LN is for bitcoin as it lessen the fees for transaction and it might be a great way for casino to implement it especially for withdrawals on their platform. However, as Users or Gamblers, I might rather not consider it as of now since most of the online casino or gambling platform that have offers other tokens and it also feature swapping or converting btc to other tokens that will helps us with transaction fee and traffic.

Actually having a long term signature campaign here at the forum would be a great way to promote your platform however you should also consider other alternatives. As you might not have receive the amount of traffic you're expecting for your gambling platform.
Bonuses, Campaigns, Events and having a great functional platform would be the best way to promote your online casino.

Most of the long term holders that entered their investment within the past year are currently on the red right now. However, this does not mean that have already lose income since they are still holding on thier coins. Just as most of the replies here, they will only lose funds if they'll sell their coins during this bullish season.
But still even without selling your coins, we have a " potential loss" as the price of our assets is down compared to how much we have bought it. Anyways, these kind of bearish season is normal to crypto.

I beg to disagree with your concept where the OP is looking for a quick profit and you consider it as not "investing". There are two types of investments such as long term and short term investments and OP is asking for a short term investment.

But yes, drawbacks are a good thing when investing as it gives leeway for investors to invest at a lower prices especially if they are considering a long term investment in crypto. As of now, it will be hard to gain in times where the crypto market is too bearish. But yes, you can still earn by doing micro trading and investment however the risk would be higher than investing on long term.

In terms of investment, yes, we should consider the comparison from stocks with crypto as both of them has their own volatility on their prices and it is mostly similar to each other. However, I don't think that bitcoin  should be compared to stocks as unlike with stocks it has usecase which are companies like netflix that provides a streaming platform to its users.
In this case, we can consider other crypto that has usecase and compare them to other stocks as are investing on the companies projects and future roadmaps or updates.

Not only on an "Ideal" society should the government represents it's people but rather it should be common sense. However, Governments rather act when the masses are against something which is the only time they act.
Also, in this case, I don't think anyone will think that it's normal for horse in these activities to be hurt or mistreated. Yes, horse racing may a norm to some people as it has been a sport long before and I highly doubt that they'll ban it but they can do something for the people who mistreated the animal involve.

These memes kinda gets me everytime I saw it at those times as you might thought that you can envy them knowing that they have a bought some motorcycle by joining the platform. But after reading the other half, you'll know that they have lose their money as they previously had a car instead.
Anyway, these people are the one that should have not started gambling as they have no control on their self. Knowing that they have resorted on selling their properties just to bet on the platform.

One of the industries that another good contributor to our country was E-sabong or cockfighting especially as how it got it's limelight and hype from our people. Almost everyone was involve and has been joining e-sabong as content creators or youtubers are one of their main promoters and advertisers.
No wonder even teenagers who doesn't have any knowledge with cockfighting are applying as an e-sabong operator. One other thing, as to why it got so many players as joining or betting is too easy if you have a sim card.
Anyway, it's a good thing that this activity has been stopped as there are too many negative aspects it involves mainly is animal cruelty. Also, I don't even know why people who don't really gamble will join the platform which causes them to be addicted and just as OP said getting broke, losing assets, property and even their own family members.

Agreed, both branding and functionalities should be considered when starting up an online gambling casino especially with the number of competitors right now.
However you should also consider promotion and events for your gambling casino as casino are considered to be generous with their clients. You can start a gambling platform with a random brand name and a casual functionalities but can still have a lot of clients coming in due to being generous thru events and promotions.
Still, having most of the qualities that your client would like to see is the best way to start up your gambling casino.
By the way, this is just my opinion and I am not a gambling operator but a humble and degenerate gambler.

The advice he received from his friend is rather one of the common economics advice which is just as you've said "book advice". But yes, not everything will work as you've intended to even if the risk won't be that high.
But before even considering this method, you must keep in mind that you still will need to have the amount you're loaning as it is not yours. Loan is a loan and you must pay it. These methods are mostly used by rich people to further widen their margin on their investments.
Still, borrowing for investment purposes could be a double edge sword where you might lose what you don't have.

Pardon my intrusion and my question, May I know, how are you new to cryptocurrency if have been a part of the bitcointalk community ever since 2014. Is it safe to assume that you have bought that account?
Anyways, There is no advisable time or date on when you have buy your tokens as most cryptocurrency are volatile and are sometimes directly proportional to other token's price such as what happened with Luna and how it affects other cryptos.
Also, I rather not use Elon Musk buying twitter as an indicator to buy tokens as it does not reflect to any tokens since Twitter doesn't have it's own cryptocurrency.

With the current conflict going on, it will be harder for us to achieve peace especially since all of us aren't working with each other. I mean, how can we achieve peace if there are racial, gender and many more discrimination going on. We all say that we want peace but it is something that we can never achieve.
Anyway, with the conflict going on with Russia and Ukraine, boycotting either of the countries will not help the war between these two as the people who will be affected by these boycotts will be the business owners and not the government. Let's just follow the sanctions that has been provided by our country to avoid further conflict.

They are a lot of factors as to why Russia they are pulling back with their attacks to Ukraine. We know as much that Russia can win the war that they've started with Ukraine however I don't that this war's purpose is to mainly destroy the country or overtake it.
Clearly, they are just showing their power not to Ukraine but to the whole world in case a much more bigger conflict could occur. Also, I'm sure that there are more negotiation going on that is not being shown in the media that will provide a huge gain with Russia.

Well not all man are destroying the planet we live in. Most humans who hunts animals are mainly because of foods, money and survival. But, yes, you're right, the main reason why our planet are dying is also because of humans. Just imagine how much pollution we humans are making without even contributing any to control it such as cars, factories and many more.
Anyway, as per the OP's topic about most of us humans are still continuing with these kind of activities where we bet or gamble to these poor animals. Just as AicecreaME mentioned above, we are living in a reality which we are mind conditioned that these are normal. Not only with horses but also with other animals such as cock fights, dog fights and much more. These activities has been happening way too long and might have become a norm to others but it's a good thing that animal right groups and community are contradicting it and now has a voice. We might still hope for this not to be continued and be ended on the near future as there are so much more alternative.

If you will be able to come up with any kind of topics that is related with gambling such as games, platforms and just like for this one which the psychological aspects of gambling then, you might be able to apply on your course. That is, if you are that dedicated to it that you will came up for a topic about it.
In this case, without having the knowledge with the whole thesis, I think that they are not really directly discussing about gambling as they've mentioned loot boxes on games which may have similarities with gambling.
As we know loot boxes or gatcha in games has their own risk since you will most likely to buy it with real money or even grind for it to gain rare items. The chances of these things are limited and with these rare and limited rewards, people are addicted to buying with having any certainty that they'll receive the items they like.
As for the prize award, probably they have defended their thesis too well against other thesis projects which might be reason they've received that award

Sa tingin ko naman kahit maging maingay o hinde ang mga paymaya users about sa crypto, Gcash will still make a move sa Crypto industry lalo't financial services sila. Pero in case na magrelease or mag offer sila ng crypto asset, I doubt na magiging katulad sya ng Coins.ph or Abra dahil itong dalawang platform na into ay nakafocus talaga for Crypto.

Looking forward pa rin ako sa pagoffer nila ng crypto sa platform nila dahil sobrang useful ng Gcash for me. And mas magiging convenient ito para sa lahat ng crypto investor, nft gamers and collectors na gumagamit ng Gcash on a daily basis.

For me, There will be no such thing as a decentralized currency. Which is the reason why I will never think the government will even consider Bitcoin as there currency or an alternative for fiat. I agree that bitcoin and other major crypto will live alongside each other and it will not be considered as alternative or replacement for fiat. However, I have second thoughts for centralized crypto and stable coins which I think may have a chance to be an alternative for Fiat.
