1  Economy / Economics / Re: The robotization of China’s economy - a time bomb or a lifeline? on: Today at 11:11:39 AM
I thought that Xi had already declared some mandate that there's a need to reduce the usage of AI and robots. With the development that they're doing, I think it's mainly targeting to reduce the human labor force and wants to automate everything.

I've seen some videos of their lab about making humanoids and they're looking like humans. This is no longer a race of which glorious in robotics and AI because they always compete with the US.

Well, if the time comes that robots can do everything even household chores they should subsidize people's need.
2  Economy / Economics / Re: Best strategies and worst strategies ? on: Today at 08:48:02 AM
Today I was reading the of Morgan Housel ' The psychology of Money'. In the page no 28 there are 3 questions asked
1) What investing strategies work? Which ones don't?
2) What business strategies work? Which ones don't?
3) How do you get rich? How do you avoid being poor?
I would love seeing your answers of these questions because nothing comes to my mind whenever I see these questions.
For both 1 and 2, I have the same answer and it's about what you know. The investment and the business that you know.

If you know what you are doing, you have higher chance of success. And what doesn't work in most times is that people invest and do business due to hype, so that's the opposite of it.

3. I can answer theoretically about how to get rich but the answer from that question is best coming from those who truly are rich.

And they have in common about what they say, and it is about these things, loving what you do, loving your employees and loving God.

Some might not like those common answers that I've heard from them but, that's their perspective while there are ultra rich that don't believe in God but they're more focused in work ethics.

Avoidance of being poor, I guess if you're able to experience no money in your pocket, no money to pay for the bills and food, you'll be more encouraged to do everything in your capacity to avoid it.

Hey OP, thanks for the effort and also thanks to man himself, the legend gamekyuubi the HODL man!

My question is, did you got any request just as this AMA thread in real life, anyone from the crypto media contacted you for personal appearance or interview? if there was already then I've missed, or you value your privacy on this matter and prefer AMAs like this thread.

This thread will blow the media and will make a headline, "the legend who invented HODL appeared!".

That make sense, just another stunt to inflate their IPO, never really looked into all these math discoveries and what each has discovered, whether it's truly a discovery or just nothing.
Exactly, they have a couple of months for the delayed IPO.

And but the brilliant of releasing these articles and warning is on the right timing when we have these wallet hacking incidents.

That will amplify what they seem to be concerned with but, not yet proven. Some might buy to that but it's still going to be a long way to go because with the recent hacks we've seen, it's always the flaw in system that the hackers seen and not with AI's work.

I hope you lean on that and despite that the advertising and income that your review will have, your integrity won't change with that.

Genuine and honest review is what the community needs. While you're not going to sacrifice the potential advertising profit if ever some casinos approaches you to review them.

They will also understand where you're coming from.

When testing casinos with real money as in this case, I think it should be grouped into the top tier brands that use crypto currency, the platforms that focus more on privacy and the platforms that offer high bonus and are hybrid with crypto currencies and fiat inclusive for betting.
With this in mind, a clearer result will be gotten for better reviews and I think the community would love to see their favorite platform on the test board to understand better with this grouping technique.
You're right about that in essence of what factors must be considered for reviewing casinos.

But in this, OP specifically said that they're into reviewing the deposits although they are including the other factors that you said.

And all the casinos they review are into crypto and it's indicated in the name of their website. Top tier or not, I think that's on their discretion which one they'll do next.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Social-Media Influencing, now a valuable entrepreneurial skill. on: October 09, 2026, 09:14:24 PM
For you to become an influencer, it means you will have to do something that will get the attention of many people. It's not that easy because if it was, a lot of people would have become an influencer and get many audience and followers. Everybody cannot venture into trends even though they are going to be the hot medium to make money. Anyone who is capable of turning into an influencer can do that but for those who can't, the sky is wild enough to do something else and still succeed or rather stick to what works for you or what have been working for you.
Not easy to become an influencer and that's why we see people who are doing such crazy things on the internet for them to chase clout.

That's their capital in being called as an influencer because they have a lot of followers, they have a lot of views, etc.

And the businesses see it as a way to advertise no matter how crazy acts they do for as long as they give exposure to the products or any other things that they are advertising.

Attention is the new currency in the internet and I think it was Logan Paul who said that.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who then is buying Bitcoin for the next leg up? on: October 09, 2026, 07:39:06 AM
FUD will never be gone and they're becoming more intense with the reasoning of quantum computers. I've heard the same FUD in the past which also brought fear.

But as I can see, every time there are these FUD and challenges that people applies to bitcoin it always survives and pass through that.

Every time!

Let's think about it carefully, This is a Global Threat, it's never a Bitcoin only thing.

My question now is how many weak hands have panic sold and who is buying Bitcoin for the next leg up?
You're right that it's not only for bitcoin but for the other sectors too. I can't blame those who always panic when they read these news.

They haven't seen how bitcoin did in the past where there were so much fud that were said about it.
8  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Brave Browser Wallet? on: October 09, 2026, 05:06:28 AM
Now I remember this, I also have used brave for a while for the BAT tokens but it has never been redeemed. So no BAT tokens for me, that promo died down eventually.

This wallet offer convenience because there's no need to download a browser extension, just like MetaMask. It's integrated with the browser itself. But not a good idea to keep large amounts.

Well, that's the only reason why I just use the Brave Wallet but ended up rejected even using a VPN to bypass.
The irony is that, they already have their own VPN right now which is also attached to the browser itself and everyone can have a 7-day trial.

I haven't tried it yet.

Since the Brave browser works on Linux, maybe it is much safer to use on the Linux OS than using the Brave Wallet in Windows. It also supports MAC. I can't trust Windows nowadays because my laptop that I currently use seems controlled by someone or added by an organization. I can't even disable my AV. Planning to reformat my laptop because I feel that I am infected after my Kaspersky expired.
Diagnose and have it scanned for a couple of minutes. It might take time but it's worth it for seeing if there were some files that you've missed became infected.

I agree with joniboini, windows defender is already enough and no need to download any other AVs. The rest is on how you use your PC and careful with what you install.

But on this one, you do yourself a favor on which you think you're comfortable with and gives you peace of mind.
9  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Brave Browser Wallet? on: October 08, 2026, 10:48:25 PM
I created a Brave wallet a few months ago. I thought I could transfer BAT tokens, but I ended up not being able to withdraw my earnings because my KYC was rejected.  
I never use it for any other crypto; I just created mine because of the BAT token earnings.

I don't think a browser-based wallet like this one is safe, but it works just the same as MetaMask, I think.
Now I remember this, I also have used brave for a while for the BAT tokens but it has never been redeemed. So no BAT tokens for me, that promo died down eventually.

This wallet offer convenience because there's no need to download a browser extension just like metamask. It's integrated with the browser itself. But not a good idea to keep large amounts.

Brave browser encourage ads, but which you will manually enable to be get paid a small peanut amount of money as you watch ads. Ads should be discouraged.
I was encouraged in viewing those ads for the bat tokens but I turned that off. I don't see them anymore and we see ads I think if you turn on the brave news because that is where they insert it. I managed to turn it off and I no longer receive any ads. It's easy to do that through a new tab and instructions are found online.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Being Able to Afford Something Is Not The Same As Being Able To Maintain It on: October 08, 2026, 09:20:39 PM
Not everyone are into that thinking of what's next after having those material things, the maintenance is mostly ignored.

For the long term thinkers, we're thinking of how useful a thing is and how it should be maintained. And that's part of our thinking so that the usage and the worth of that thing will be prolonged.

So if we buy things, not only with the maintenance but also look after ourselves on how we're going to take care of it.

Quote from: boyptc
Nice OP, other reviews websites are focusing more on the games and yours is with those features about deposits and withdrawals although it's also part of the reviews of the others and you have the bonuses too.

I know that this service has profit as well but if some casinos will pay you for advertisement, I hope that it will still be genuine review that you're going to give them.

Yes, that separation is very important.

The purpose of the real-money test is to report what actually happened during the test, whether the result is good or bad. A commercial relationship with a casino shouldn’t change what we report about deposits, withdrawals, KYC, bonuses or support.

As the project develops, we also want to make the distinction between advertising/commercial placements and editorial or test results as clear as possible, so readers can understand what they are looking at.
I hope you lean on that and despite that the advertising and income that your review will have, your integrity won't change with that.

Genuine and honest review is what the community needs. While you're not going to sacrifice the potential advertising profit if ever some casinos approaches you to review them.

They will also understand where you're coming from.

From your username itself, you truly are for the space.  Grin

Kidding aside, I guess that we're more optimistic with investing in stocks for the likes of Space X and other tech companies.

Space exploration is going to be the next big thing and people's curiosity will be into the space so, the space tourism seems looking to be an optimistic business that shall boom soon.


You might've forgotten that SpaceX already acquired xAI, the company behind Grok . So SpaceX isn't just a space tech company anymore, it's getting heavily involved in AI too.

SpaceX genuinely has massive potential cause they're sitting in exactly the industries that'll define the future.
Yeah, I remember it now that grok is now part of Elon's empire after introduced to X as well.

But huge potential doesn't automatically make it a good investment. A company can have a great outlook and still be a bad investment if it's overpriced. So like any other investment, do your homework on company and its valuation before putting money into it.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-merges-spacex-artificial-233427458.html
I agree, while the potential is there. The success of project still relies on how it's managed. And for investors, we have no control over that.

That's why we still need to do the job of making research but I think that its futuristic approach and service will go far and it's on the right direction.. I hope so.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: Shall we talk about investing? on: October 08, 2026, 02:48:08 AM
Without mincing words, i would like to go for SpaceX investment, this is because I've seen the level of technological advancement it has, in West Africa here, we've seen and authenticated some of their technological branches around, and I can say that for such a company that has so much work done that they've shown, they've earned the integrity and they deserve the trust the people should give to them, for me I will even would want to invest in SpaceX IPO than dangote refinery IPO of my country Nigeria which was making headline news weeks back, that's the level of confidentiality I have on spaceX IPO.

Good question, even with the best intentions at the start, what happens when an advertiser asks to tweak a review or move their casino up the list? Would be interesting to hear how you plan to handle that, for example by keeping ads and ratings completely separate.
There are handful review sites also in the forum from reputable people, and I think that they are handling it well when it's come to revenue.

But let's just hope that they won't be affected by the potential profit or advertisement they'll receive from those truly bad casinos and won't tweak the genuine review they'll give to them.

Because in the end, they can give some tips as there's always room for improvement.

16  Economy / Economics / Re: A good business doesn't fail no matter the situation of the economy on: October 07, 2026, 05:41:42 PM
LASTLY: A bad economy doesn't kill a business, it just teste it, weak and unstructured business fails because they weren't prepared. A good business stays safe because it is useful, smart with it's savings, flexible and trusted by the people.
While this can be true but I've seen businesses which closed due to bad economy. We saw large corporations that have to close down because they can no longer operate and margin from it.

That's why for me, no matter how strong the business is but if the government is mishandling its own then economy will fail.

There can be pandemic proof, war proof, economic downturn proof businesses but this doesn't apply to all. I've seen looking strong businesses on sight but on paper, they're not.

Because cost of rent is a lot, the wages of people and all other operational costs has eaten them a lot and thanks to bad economy.
17  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Convincing My Cousin to Invest $20,000 in Bitcoin on: October 07, 2026, 04:43:14 PM
@OP, I will praise you for having that balls of telling a figure to your cousin to invest to bitcoin. Because if it's me, I have never convinced nor told any of my relatives to invest huge amounts.

I told them to start with a couple of bucks if they have a spare maybe $5 or $10 or whatever is required minimum amount on an exchange.

You should be prepared for some backlash from your cousin if the price plunges without a notice.

I will always maintain that am not in for this convincing work, no way. Coming into Bitcoin should be voluntary, not someone telling you and you begin to think about it and the money. Thinking it's corrupt and not good enough.

But if that be the case, tell your sister to invest with little money first. That money mentioned at the topic seems too big for me for a because she is just starting, and for it to mature and she growing also in knowledge and understanding, knowing how things work. Starting small has always been the best for me, so that if she starts and builds confidence in the process, she can invest with any amount of  funds she can afford.
It's already there, and he's done it already.

Even if we're not into convincing of other people to invest in Bitcoin, he's done it and whether we disagree or not I am impressed if it's a real thing.

And it's even more impressive with the amount that he has convinced, that's why I don't think that I can do such but he did.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: When Everyone Tries To Save Money, Who Actually Loses? on: October 07, 2026, 10:27:03 AM
It begs with the curiosity why when people do things correctly, what makes them think that it becomes harmful to the others?

Maybe because they're not doing the same as the responsible ones who have been saving their hard earned money and invest it properly?

When there's a huge number of people who save money, it's not everybody who's doing that. They also spend for things they need but becoming wise on their money. I don't see any harm in it to be honest if it's with individual perks.
19  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: CZ’s actually advice for beginners into crypto worth reading on: October 06, 2026, 10:11:58 PM
There is substance in CZ's advice, although it is a kind of their business marketing but his statement should be judged separately. Long-term accumulation of Bitcoin and short-term trading of altcoins should not be placed in the same risk category. Because for a new Bitcoin investor, short-term trading in altcoins can sometimes cause serious losses. So if a new or novice crypto investor starts with a small amount of money, then if he is experienced in investing along with learning, then there is a balance between his ability and risk management.

Therefore, it is important to understand the long-term investment plan and risk management system when investing in Bitcoin.
That all leads to the matter of controlling the risk that we can take. Whether we trade or invest, the risk is never gone.

We can judge the two activities entirely different from each other but, that doesn't remove the risk that it's associated with.

And as someone who's been a long term investor that risk is worth it. I am for sure that those who also trade altcoins and profits from it will say the same thing.

Although for us investors just as the traders, it's not always the same story that we see.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2027 NBA Season on: October 06, 2026, 08:28:09 PM
I hope that KAT will just accept that $200M contract just like what Duren did. I believe he can't win another title with another team anymore.
We have another drama to follow.  Grin

I have a different view with KAT and I think he's deserved it but, if he doesn't accept it then some teams would like to probably have him I guess.

KAT has always made a ton of money and I don’t think he is going to accept less than a max to sign somewhere. This likely means he will be looking for another team after the season ends. Seems like he might be getting up there in age, but I’m sure he’ll be able to find a home and a max contract somewhere.
If I were him, I'll look for a max contract. The pay cut was already done and he's already got a chip. If he wants another one and that's all what it takes for him to possibly get it, I am sure that he can do it elsewhere with a new squad.

He's at that stage already that this means pure business. I guess that most of the NBA players are looking after with greatness and championship but just having one is already satisfying and should have to max out profits through max contracts.
