I am a person who never won any lottery but when dedicated to working on something, I get an ample amount of money. In 2018 when I started working as a Bounty hunter(as the secondary job of course), After two three years I came to know how much money I had earned which I would not have earned doing an office job for 10 years. Here the game turned. Seeing so much money in my hand, suddenly I saw everywhere when traders were earning thousands of dollars doing cryptocurrency trading. It was like the grass is always green on the other side. As mentioned earlier, due to overconfidence and not following risk management, lost some portion of the money that I earned through bounties. Now I have realized that I must work hard and that too with dedication, then only I can have a good earning status. Just to iterate, working as a bounty hunter or trading in cryptocurrency was never my primary source. Still, I am working in a tech company and getting monthly salaries.

But wouldn't you consider finding out about bounty hunter jobs as "luck"? Sure, hard work made it possible to earn from it, but luck on the other hand can introduce to you various opportunities, so really, they just go hand in hand. Hard work makes it so that opportunities you get are not lost, and luck is that factor that can make said hardwork (or anything you do) noticeable to something (or you notice something instead) kind of thing.

Trading involves more on the luck side imo, hard work can only get you to about breaking even imo, minimizing loss, and stuff like that. Even when you work hard to analyze the market, it's not exactly a guarantee that things will go the way you expect it to be after all.

What do you think would be a solution to this not everyone would be able to keep up with this especially in everyday transactions?

Is it a necessity for you to pass transactions at that moment when the gas fee is at its highest (or around it)? If not then time it instead. Maybe create (or hire someone to make it) a bot that can automatically transfer your coins when the gas fees are at their lowest. Trying out other networks as well might work out on your end. I haven't experienced such high fees though, at least if you compare it to that period where fees were insanely high (and the reason why I just straight out stopped trading and started hodling some of my coins).

It's probably not practical if you're going to transfer coins with low volumes in large amounts though (for some reason). You'd probably get hit with too much fees, regardless whether said fee is high or not really.

We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?

Not really I think? I mean if we were talking about majority vs. minority, then maybe, but if you were to say that most economic men lose out to your average woman, then millionaires wouldn't be males, they'd be females. Imo it's natural for someone to plan out their expenses, whether they be male or female. I think it just naturally switched over to females after a decade or so of being together due to the natural shifting of responsibilities in a family. Outside of the context of a family, I think both are rather equal, it's just a matter of capabilities at that point regardless of gender.

After we saw the SlapFight Championship which had a lot of buzz on social media and also raised concerns about the safety of fighters or in a better term: slappers, it was a known topic of discussion between both supporters and others against it. Today, while I was surfing and watching some videos I came across a video of pillow fighting between two tough guys in a ring the thing that made me search for more information. Surprisingly, I found out that they also have a championship and there's already the first professional international pillow fighting sports association which means it’s officially a sport.
I don't see it as bad as slapping but it might be a bit boring for us to watch because it seems nearly impossible to knock your opponent out or for judges to determine a winner unless they decide to put rocks inside the pillows (just kidding).

What are your thoughts on this new sport, Do you think we might see it in sportsbooks anytime soon?

Kind of boring if I imagine it, might be different if I watch it though (also pillows with rocks, damn that's savage). Honestly, the slapfight competition was enjoyable. It was thrilling in itself since you know when the slap would be done and the reaction doesn't even have to be exaggerated, just their natural reactions is more than enough to show how much power each slap has, which is why it was good. Pillow fighting though? Hmm unless they put some twist into it I don't think it's that good.

Also who determines whether an activity is a sport or not? Just the creation of an association around it? I'd much rather consider it as a small scale tournament than an official sport immediately tbf.

I was like wow 😍, with $0.5 cents for two numbers, what I normally won if one of those numbers played is $4, but if both numbers I choose plays, I win $8, but this time, I saw that I won $28, I was like how come? I began inspecting and discovered that my bet was not $0.5 cent, but $3.50 dollars, I was like what the heck, a mistake that turned sweet for me 😋😋.

So by this experience, I am moved to ask you guys if any one of you have ever made such a mistake, but it turned out in your favor? Please share with us.

Would've rather been a very confusing moment if you didn't notice that you bet 3.5 lmao. I've personally had a few fuckups before which, kind of is a mix? I've had instances where I both got lucky or not. In dice, mostly when I'm drowsy as hell (but for some reason kept playing), I kept pressing the wrong one, so instead of betting HI I bet LO and vice versa. Same thing with crash sometimes, I just often slip up and click stop immediately when the plan is not to. Nothing too big though. I sure wish I made a slipup when I bet on some of the most famous teams vs dark horses, would've been a great cashout.

Well it's usually because of ToS or something that they get banned. Their being banned due to "winning too much" is probably either A, a misunderstanding, or B, just them wanting to brag but they know the real reason why they got banned. I myself have never experienced such issues/problems after all, so I reckon it's all on them instead of anything else in reality. There might be some casinos that do that though but without any real prior proof or the casino themselves (or an insider) being transparent about it, innocent till proven guilty.

You'd honestly find it hard to look for, not just gamblers but anyone who has received negative experiences to be completely honest about what they did. I mean look, even people lie to emergency medical staff to keep their pride, what more to random people on the internet.

Does it mean NFT is a scam sector of crypto market, or is their concept good, but the execution of the projects are wrecking everything? Is it still possible for NFTs to recover their credibility?

Imo concept is good, but the way it was used pushed the market into, well, using it that way instead. I know a few NFT's that are really really good, I have a few artists who I follow sell NFTs and they're priced worthy of their beauty/detail but due to how minor they really are, they aren't noticed and used as much as compared to...well, monkeys. Sad to say but a market driven by its consumers would be swayed by what the majority of its consumers do, and I don't think I'd need to elaborate what kind of shitfest it resulted.

And no, I'd say nfts are dead. There might be minor ones out there that are using it for how it's supposed to be, but yea in general I'd say it's dead. If it ever went up again, it'd probably start from zero and with another name instead.

Dumb decisions bring you dumb results. It's not a matter of what you hope to fix by doing that. Sure, if you suddenly killed off half of the world, wouldn't the other half have better opportunities, space, food, etc.? Would you do it? That would be no, cause you'd probably die first, maybe second. There can be a ton of solutions for a problem with varying methods, and it's up to you to filter out dumb ones from that, regardless of whether you want to help someone or not.

I highly doubt casinos would offer a refund, the image already says it all. They RARELY do refunds, if ever at all. They're a business, not a charity. In the first place, it was the kid's mistake for gambling when he was below 18. It might be grounds for a legal punishment on his side if it ever went to that. If it involved KYC, then boy the one who's identity was used may even be included in the punishment as well.

It depends. I mean, if my passion for other stuff dies out, who knows? Gambling is much more accessible now compared to the past after all so even in old age, one can easily get access to casinos that you can play in. There also aren't any restrictions, plus if you manage to get the idea of gambling in your head when your old, I reckon you have a lot of money for your retirement fund. If not, well, I don't think I ever will, I'd just probably plant a garden or something realistically. The idea is basically out there, just depends on whether I'd grab it though.

Kinda curious, where did 42 come out? Is there a meaningful reason or did you just throw out a relatively middle-aged number there?

Do you think security measures in Casinos and Resorts got tougher since this massacre took place?
Would be as easy as it was back in 2017 to bring dozens of weapons and ammo up to the 32th floor of a resort nowadays?

If you were in charge of a casino, what would you do to curb the risk of something like this ever happening again?

I'd say it depends still. Even with security in place, as long as an insider agrees to cooperate then things can be done way too easily. Everything from cameras to guard methods is, in the end, handled by humans. It's way too easy to say temporarily turn off cameras if they can get assistance from an insider, and the same with patrol areas and the like. Not to mention that even with security measures improving, you can say attack measure also improved.

The least I'd do would probably set up traps. While it's hard to determine how to stop something you don't know, it's rather easy to setup a blockade/trap when you know it already happened. Sad to say though this can lead to a lot more people being implicated since the plan is to deal with it AFTER, not before.

With my experience in the cryptocurrency market, I decided to develop a short-term Bitcoin spot trading strategy using the TradingView platform and its strategy programming tool. I managed to create a strategy that yields an average annual return of 20% according to backtesting. My question is, is this return acceptable, or in your opinion, what would be an acceptable or good return?

It's good. I say anything above your capital is good enough and can be considered as a success already, anything past that is just a bonus. Even more so if this was a stable annual return (which I doubt, but hey who knows), heck even a 10% stable return is more than enough to be called a success imo.

I'd say judge it for yourself still though, 20% may look small if your capital was small in the first place so you might not really feel it. Depends on how you feel about it, but with a smaller capital I'd rathe risk it for possible bigger gains.

Sharing this experience to be an eye opener that we can't have a consistent profit on a casino without being restricted. Just enjoy the game and don't focus much on profit. In the end, I decided to just focus on trading and rest on gambling.

Maybe it was part of their terms or something? Like after a certain limit you just can't receive any bonuses anymore, and since you were pretty lucky, you were hit pretty early as well lmao. Casinos (and any marketing strategy really) often has those restrictions in a fine print at obscure areas so it's really hard to determine whether said restrictions exist in the first place most of the time so hey who knows, it may just be a natural thing though.

Still a great feeling since this might just be the few times a casino has to manually inform a player they hit their limit with bonuses though lmao.

If you have plans to start a dream business that requires a capital of $20,000 and you were able to make a savings of $15,000 which obviously isn't enough to start up the business, what would be your decision or advice?

1. Invest the $15,000 into a smaller business hoping that the returns will yield the remaining $15,000 in a short period. Note that this has the potential of failing and wasting the already-saved $15,000.

2. Keep the $15,000 while doing other work that will yield the remaining money over a long period.

Would love to see your input or a better suggestion apart from the ones I pointed out above.

N/B
This is the typical situation a friend finds himself and we are just brainstorming in what best to do.

Context lacks a lot imo since it's for a friend. We don't exactly have their situation at hand and what said business actually is. Look in my case, my dream business would be something along the lines of a game studio, and assuming that the needed ratio (75% on hand, 25% still missing) is pretty much the same as what I need (since game studios should be a lot more expensive than $20k), I'd definitely go doing both 1 and 2 since game studios don't exactly give immediate profits, unlike say cafeterias and the like.

Ofc, this could be remedied by sorting out your finances and splitting the money you get so that you can party invest and partly store your money, but again, depends on context. If we assume we can't do both then yea, I'd go with 2 instead, especially if you consider your words "over a long period", so I'm assuming that at the very least, that $5k can take a long time to be earned, what more that $15k you can lose.

Screenshots? Really? There are TX hashes, Balance statements, and other similar stuff and the one thing you had to make a point was Screenshots of your balance? Seriously? Is this your first day on the internet or something? Heck even if someone doesn't really use the internet that much they'd pretty much know not to trust screenshots.

And I wonder who the hell falls for those scams where they have XXXX amount in their wallet and talk to them to know how. Guess OP is one.

1.Have you observed repeated IDs and payouts while playing in online casinos, and do you think these patterns are a cause for concern?
2.Are these displays genuinely based on real-time data, or could there be instances of manipulation or programmed repetition?
Some how I feel these data aren't updated and are only programmed so as to attract more players into using their casino.

Yes and no. They're simply accounts that use bots to play the game, and due to how fast it cycles through, the live display pretty much shows them winning multiple times in a row. In reality, there's probably a bunch of losses in between those wins instead of it being concurrent wins.

As for two, I'd say it should be based on real-time data in reputable casinos at least. I wouldn't pull out that their fake though, new casinos probably do that to attract players into thinking some people actually play there as you've said. There might be some casinos that show the TX or something similar though and in those cases it's pretty easy to check whether the game actually happened or not though.

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.

"Telling" them isn't going to do anything. They're humans, they have wants, and needs together with responsibilities. Now if no one actually educates them to understand that those come together in a bundle, it's rather inevitable that they're going to do something wrong. There's a world difference between telling them these things vs letting them understand.

The most effective way really is to have a family that can support them and educate them, but not all households are like that so other than that, there's nothing really. A being is shaped by their surroundings early on, and even if we do say they can filter out what they can and shouldn't take, by the time they understand such logic it might've been a tad bit too late.

A few days ago i shared a news where Australia will ban Gambling through credit cards, now it seems that they are moving another step ahead in this and now Australia Introduces New ID Requirements for Online Gamblers

The general purpose for this is to reduce gambling in Australia but they will make excuses that this is done to overcome underage gambling etc.

Quote

The measure would mitigate certain problems such as underage gambling or gambling harm, Responsible Wagering Australia says

Although most casinos ask for KYC, yet minors still gamble on their elders ' IDs (Elder brother or father). I wonder by introducing this ID verification what special Australia is looking to achieve from it?

But how would that work? Would there be additional measures to these "new" requirements that they would do? And in addition, wouldn't users just go to a casino without these strict requirements? Like crypto casinos for example. I hardly doubt they'd tell casinos to implement geoblocking for international ones, though if it was officially a law then it should work.

Unless they're able to provide a method where they can detect if the user is different from the id provided, I highly doubt they'd be able to prevent this. Even that method of having your face beside your ID selfie method isn't enough if there's some asses of a parents (or whoever is the real owner of the id) who just allows it.

Anyone who stupidly invested in this shit already been scammed by this scam project. The token already rugpulled by the scammer behind this project. It seems like that 100 eth raised during the presale was fake number.

This scam token has only 9k liquidity at this moment. The scammer was manipulating the frontend from its site to lure its victim.

Kinda funny how OP posted the site instead of a reliable source like coinmarket. Pretty sure that's already a red flag for investors since any of these websites can be artificially manipulated most of the time, and those without the knowhow don't even know how to check if the data pulled was from the devs ass or from an API of a legitimate exchange or something.

Though looking at the candles, if I got the right coin, it seems like the coin was indeed bought instead of front end manipulation, just that it was the devs who did that to artificially pump the price. Probably dumped it immediately once some idiots bought.

Well, it's not like the quote originated from him, afaik it's a pretty old ideology already? In addition, it's a really optimistic ideology. It's not like doing what you want can pay your bills all the time. Sure, if what you want is a niche that's famous or is useful, then yea, but what if it wasn't? What if it was extremely obscure? Things can become really hard in a matter of moments. Not that I'm contradicting with it though.

I mean I myself am doing work I truly enjoy and would probably not turn to other methods even if they bring in more money, but only because it can support me right now. If it couldn't, I probably would've already moved over to something else. But well, I guess it's an idea that a lot of people can believe in. There's probably a lot better opportunities nowadays as well compared to the past.

The past records are merely references to what could possibly be, they aren't exactly 100% guides to actually being able to read the future. You can say that the quote you indicated is indeed true, but it's not like it takes into account 100%, it's a zero-sum game, with that result, there were naturally people who were on the opposite spectrum and lost. Due to that, it's natural to see why erratic movement happens, because every investor often changes what they do.

While I do use history to judge the market, I don't exactly use it as a 100% basis for my decision. Well, I actually do DCA so whether I use it or not may not really matter much tbf, but anyway, I also use fundamental analysis, so it depends really. While I do trust it on some level, it doesn't sway my decision 100%.
