Ehh, I don't really think we'd be getting anything big for the next 1-2 months. At most, we'd probably go to $30k then just go the usual steady stuff that we have right now, maybe dipping back to 28, 29k every now and then. At least just based on any significant news that I know of, there's nothing that particularly concerns the crypto market, or nothing that would affect it on a big scale. Might be more active in maybe in the latter end of the year? Hopefully not in a negative way.

Uhm no? Why would I force myself to play when there's other possible options I can play on? If there wasn't, well as much as I say gambling is for enjoyment it does involve money so nah, I'm fine with not playing. If it were for free though, like what I do to access some specific beta test of some games, then hell yea I'd do it.

Imo it isn't really controversial, it's just kind ass how some casinos change their ToS to suddenly rejecting VPN, or somehow flagging you for multi accounting, which can happen due to how VPN works afaik when in the first place THEY should know how VPN works. Well that is if VPN is allowed in the first place. If it wasn't, then yea I really don't think I would or even risk it.

Well... What you're doing is a good start for one. Asking for advice from your users (or even strangers really) isn't really going to hurt you, you just got to filter out proper advice from, well, dumb ones. It at least opens up your project as community friendly and pretty open as well. Other than that, well, it should depend on what your project aims to actually be since improvements will come from understanding what it wants, and where it is right now.

Priority for now might be to complete your team first then do some internal review. I highly doubt investors would come if the team itself isn't exactly developed/complete, regardless of how minor some of the other roles could possibly be.

I mean, you can. Most altcoins are short lived anyway, you're better off trying to profit off of them at a say a month or two max, anything longer would just give diminishing returns, well at least for most coins, but hey if they really were good, it wouldn't be too late to invest on it again after at least guaranteeing that you've profited.

I definitely would avoid investing in altcoins for the long term though. I'd only ever know if it was a good investment for one in the future, and judging by the number of new altcoins, I wouldn't really take my chances.

It's actually pretty easy to notice if someone's going past the limits or is being addicted, some simple stuff that you'd often do as a kid, like asking nonchalantly for money, being impulsive, lying, stuff like that. It's like your attitude turns into a brat once a certain activity, in this case gambling comes up. I basically told myself when making decisions to grow up so as to avoid doing dumb stuff.

The simple idea of only depositing once per session, with a fixed amount every time should fix most of the problems imo. It's my method at least of putting in money I'd use to gamble anw.

...because it's not supposed to be a source in the first place? Casinos can be likened to cafes, restaurants, pitching places, golf courses, etc. They all COST money, and they return something called "enjoyment".

Now it varies from place to place but gambling returns said enjoyment as money, but said return is also involved in a process, so it isn't actually a guarantee return. More like a bonus so to speak, because the games are oversimplified to the point where without the thrill of winning something, in this case money, there'd be no point in actually playing.

Who knows. I handle data within my company and I know myself that it isn't 100 safe from being exposed, I reckon gambling companies are the same as well. I've rarely played on casinos nowadays but back then I really didn't mind KYC, I don't think I still do really (If preferable then no kyc ofc). I've never felt cheated though.

That dosnt mean I don't care though. Is why I mostly play on casinos that are well known. Their rep is pretty much the only basis I can use after all.

Ehh I guess AR/VR can come in handy at some point, but I reckon it only caters to a niche audience? I mean it is a nice add-on for those who want it, but I'd say those are in the minority so I highly doubt they'd want to implement it just based on the minority.

AIs, well, they can serve as the host, maybe even an opponent. Or maybe just generate a random zero sum game with each instance if possible. I'd bet on it being an opponent though, just to see whether math can feat over luck.

First, it wasn't "safe" for you to become a millionaire back then. It seems safe compared to now because we KNOW what's going to happen already, so don't be dumb enough to assume that that's always the case. Second, it seemed like "modest" investments now, but with the same logic as the first, it only seemed like it. I mean, would it seem modest to invest thousands of dollars on an unknown currency that popped up all of a sudden without any company backing it?

Any altcoin could potentially give you big profit, the margin of growth in new coins is a lot bigger in comparison to old coins after all, but at the same time, just like when Bitcoin was new, the risk is comparatively higher compared to well-known ones. As for Bitcoin making you a millionaire, who knows? It may be a modest growth, or maybe even none at all. I'd suggest just doing DCA though instead if possible.

See that's the thing, you're supposed to stop thinking about your bankroll altogether when you deposit money. Whatever money I deposit in casinos, I consider spent/lost already. I don't actively try to make it bigger or even withdraw it really, it just stays there. If leftovers were left due to being lucky and winning, then I subtract that amount to my usual deposit amount instead.

I would've probably withdrawn in a big win instance, sadly I've yet to experience one so it's just one big money sink, which I'm aware of ofc and I accept it. It's the expense for having fun imo.

If I was addicted, then maybe. Just that I doubt the efficiency of "hypnosis" in actually treating it. Also doesn't help how I've never seen hypnosis being used as a treatment, or how it works even. This is me thinking rationally though, and I dont think you'd consider addicts as rational beings, otherwise addiction would've never gotten the best of them.

I'd probably just outright deny I was addicted. Or even if I did admit it, I'd choose alternatives first since hypnosis seems like it'd make me forget about gambling altogether,  unlike fixing the core problem instead which would still let me gamble, albeit more lightly.

I don't think people don't expect alts to follow when Bitcoin crashes, more like there's more room for profit in altcoins than Bitcoin. We may say that the crypto market is highly volatile, but Bitcoin isn't really that volatile compared to what it was in the past, or what other altcoins can grow into. A 1000% chance of growth is something pretty unrealistic that we'd probably never get to see again in the Bitcoin market, but it isn't exactly impossible with alts, with how some meme coins are even able to get said numbers.

I also highly doubt we'd ever see investors grow doubtful of crypto, since by the time that that's possible, it would've grown to what it was actually intended to be, a currency.

Well at the very least, they didn't outright stop the development from, well, developing. They may have delayed it but that might simply be because of cultural factors or something.

The best a community can do is to push the idea forward to make them notice about it. The info they'd get? They're the ones who's going to collect that. So the decision of whether your government would adopt new technologies would still rely on them.

But it's not sports? I reckon local small casinos wouldnt mind if you set it up yourself (together with payments which they won't deal with most likely) but I hardly doubt its going to be an official thing. Ever. It's also grounds for a lot of possible manipulation. I'm rather curious how this popped to your mind since I never considered betting about these kind of stuff in the first place.

And tbf, rather than this, I'd much rather bet on player transfers instead.

To be fair, the last few are just what you need, mainly the ones that talk about spending only what you can lose, accepting losses, and stuff like that. The rest? Just there to make it seem like you can actually beat the system, which you can't. Well, you technically can, IF you were lucky, but who the hell can give you the guarantee that you are? But well, it is what it is, that's just how human mentality goes, especially in unexplained factors which involve luck. Ehh I mean, that's how I think. That's how you guys think. I don't reckon a lot of people think the same way as us do though. If they do, well then their actions don't match, and sad to say, actions speak louder. I mean I get it some games can have a "competitive edge" to it, but I don't think said edge involves fighting the company behind the game to win. Sadly a lot of people just don't get that.

Define investors? if you mean bigwig investors then you're projects need to have something, and in most cases, a really big thing if you wanted some semblance of a big investment. Otherwise, it's never going to appeal to them. If it wasn't and you're fine with small-time investors, it's time that you'd need more than anything else. I mean you already have a community as you've said, and they're actively trying to spread the word about your project so I guess it's fine on that side. So really, take your time. If it really has something on it, then investors will come along as you go. The speed depends on the marketing you're community spreads it though.

To be fair, the gambling was actually fine, the dumb thing was betting on his own club. Now that's dumb. Afaik player contracts don't allow them to bet on ANY of their matches at the very least, maybe even in the competition that they're in. I'm surprised it wasn't a complete ban even, just an 8 month one. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get another case, which means he had a pretty good therapy, if he ever did have one.

I've never had a friend become an addict, well at least not yet. And I honestly don't think any action I do can do anything to help. I'd just be a hypocrite if it ever did happen really. I firmly believe addiction has no cure, you just, well, put it on another thing, which is the best-case solution in most cases.

Not a club, I watch football but I don't really root for any clubs so can't speak for that, but if I were to liken it to teams for eSports, then yes absolutely. I was a pretty big brain-dead fan in the past though, I pretty much thought SKT dominated the League eSports, and I was rooting for PSG LGD in Ti 6 and 7. OGs cinderella comeback made me rethink my decisions when it comes to rooting for teams, since that showed how a team with nothing and no one rooting for it can actually be a dark horse.

Still, didn't exactly push me to make risky decisions and root for teams, my favorite one included, just because I like it., in fact made me realize that I should assume that the favored team would guaranteed to be a win. Better to remove any bias and just judge based on what they showed for that certain tournament.

True, but they want at least something in the initial stages. A foundation so to speak. If said foundation is so weak it was basically nonexistent, I wouldn't blame investors for trying to avoid the said project. I do understand how some people look at "long term" being weeks or months, it's exactly how newbie investors see Bitcoin, kind of unfortunate really. I also wouldn't blame them, that's how I looked at Bitcoin as well initially.

On the other hand some projects just pop off all of a sudden and investors come flooding in. That's the moment where they should have released the project, not before. It may be due to lack of funds but hey, investors aren't exactly charity.

Well what did you assume? That the market would go up when you bought your coins? Wishful thinking then. Bitcoin is still down from a few weeks ago but in comparison to months ago, it's in a better place so no worries there, just bide your time with it. For altcoins I tend to never really hodl them for a long term, that's just going to really make you lose out imo in most cases (some cases investing on an altcoin for a year or two can bring out a lot). ETH is still looking pretty good I think, looking at the chart you clearly bought both coins at it's peak, meaning when it was rising up. Buy when it's going down, not the other way around. Buying when the price is going up is a quick ticket to losing money in the obvious short term imo.
