It all sums up massive adoption and halving. I am a believer that someday that bitcoin will reach $1M but not this fast, maybe after a decade or close to it. I do really believe that something like this will trigger the price but it's gonna be a long way to go and it may look easy as it is as the trend changes every bull run. But who knows if, by the time it comes, it's gonna be less than a decade since the market shifting is very quickly happening and adoption is also increasing every time we meet a bull market.

They'll be tested when the opponents are good and experienced and we'll see that soon. We've seen that Ceb and other players tried this thing before and I think that was like the same as this Old G? I can't remember the exact name but that was a failure on them.
And those opponents that they've been stomping on this closed qualifier, they're getting free lessons from this team and that's actually one of the best experiences that they've got to learn from it so, to those that they've won against aren't really losers.

I've been with those type of bets when I was younger, yeah, a kid that do gambles with his friends about nonsense stuff and I think that's quite normal. Like if who's gonna win with your friend's sparring. I've got crazy experiences about it and I just realized that it was strange since the adults that has been with us have tolerated everything and it was a different norm way back then when we were younger. But now, as an adult, I wouldn't teach kids to gamble for physical fights even if it's for fun since kids shouldn't hurt each other whether it's made with prizes or giveaways.

IMHO, there's nothing wrong if someone wants to be a crypto influencer but it's better to be on the technical side and explaining things how this xx project is good based on what it is showing and roadmap but not based on how the token is on the hot topics and being trending.
I thought that this topic is something else about the safety of being a crypto influencer as if someone knows you and you go to places and then warning everyone that you might get harmed for being known as a crypto influencer because people know that you've got money through crypto assets.

Congratulations on that last win that you've got. But if you can give the request and demand of other users for showing your stats then that's a good conversation to start with.
Why is it that I'm thinking that you'll just leave this thread after you've posted your YT channel and that win that you've got from them? Stake is already known and if you're for gaining your subscribers and wanting to be a gambling content creator, good luck.

A friend of mine just received a fake email that's copying Coinbase. He first did is to check his Coinbase account to verify if the email is truthful since the domain is much really likely as the official. And then he confirms that there was nothing wrong with his account and that no other information that's sent to him officially. Just as he did, when someone here receives these threatening and scaring emails from the exchanges that we use, it's better to check the actual website and your account first. And another tip is never to click those attached links that they've got because that's surely the fishiest thing that's part of this scam.

Yeah, I didn't say that we can no longer gamble physically. In fact, at the end of my post, I've said that the bold part. Even with the proliferation of online casinos whether they're crypto-supported or not, the industry is too big to ignore and get rid of the physical gambling houses/casinos.
We've been used to that type of gambling and still, there have been gamblers that choose to go there even if it's gonna require them an effort to walk through the establishment unlike by just choosing to gamble at home. The ambiance and setup for both of them are different and that's what's making a gambler choose whatever we like and prefer.

One thing that's being forgotten whether you're in a good situation and you're earning well and are already financially free or on the way to it is to become grateful. Someone who's not grateful for their situation won't really find happiness and find themselves very boring. But if you've been there, the hardships and suffering that you've gone through and you're finally blessed with a better situation. You don't forget the past that you've got and the experiences you've gained from it. And to those that are still on their way to this goal, still, be grateful because everything is going to fine and if you've been working hard and smart with whatever you do, you'll be there someday.

I've seen that news and the value of the Charlotte Hornets are quite high already. But I am sure that there will be wealthy people that are truly interested in taking major ownership of any of the NBA teams. From what I've heard, there's the Saudi prince who wants to acquire an NBA team before but didn't happen. Maybe he's one of the best prospects of taking the leadership of this team and becoming the new majority owner. After this sale, MJ will still be part of the minority for the ownership of this team so, it's just a wise move for him to do it and take profits out of his investment since 2010.

Victims? I don't think that's the right thing to say for anyone who invests in bitcoin and then the effect of the market goes into a bearish form. We're not victims but investors and then before we invest, we should be aware and inform ourselves that the market is highly volatile and anything can happen in split seconds just like what's happening now as it's close and attempting to go through $27k. Every time is a good time to invest if we like to stay in the market for the long term. And the risk remains to be there after we invest so, bear with what you're taking and it won't change whether you invest small or a lot. As with that scene you've given about having $2k worth of bitcoin and then becoming $400 in value, that's certainly a lot of drops but you should do the calculation. It's a ten times drop for bitcoin and I think that's unlikely to happen despite being volatile but yeah, possible.

I know how it feels to remember the past and how's the feeling there and the fun, joy, and enjoyment that it has brought us. Yeah, too many things have changed due to the evolution of technology that includes the usage of the internet. Change is constant and we can't stop or slow it down. I may not have that much gambling experience but I've also seen those changes as a teen that have become a gambler and saw the traditional games up to the common and modern ones. Let's just enjoy the current one and reminisce the old experiences but that doesn't mean we can't do it anymore.

How was it became possible that you weren't eligible for their airdrop? You said that you've spent transacting on their chain but you got nothing?
Did you provide them with liquidity as that's one of the main tasks for those that want to be part of their testing? I just saw them from someone on other groups that have posted about this airdrop and it seems that this still doesn't get old. But it's also risky just as what happened to you, it's like those airdrop receivers are like lucky because finding a project like this is hard these days.

OT won against the strong team of Gaimin Gladiators which is considered in this meta as a formidable team. Can't say that it was just luck because it happened in a series that needs two wins.
Well, if you're thinking of betting against OG then this game is worth to be for if you think OT will win against them.

We're still at week 1 and there will be week 2 and week 3, so it means more games to the game and the last 1 for this week 1 is what we're talking about which is the Ooredoo Thunders.

You haven't damaged your family bond but it was your cousin that did it.

It did happen to most of us. When they asked us for some money that they want to borrow, they were cool and very kind to us but in times for the collection of their debt. They're the ones who even have the guts to get mad at us because they're still short and didn't fulfill the promise of paying at the right time. Well, there's the saying that if you want to test someone and want to get rid of them, lend them some money.

True to that. Being a successful gambler and as well as a businessman really conflicts with both activities. There have been business people that have made their good lives worst because of gambling. But just like these people, if they've made themselves for the betterment of their lives and still kicking asses in gambling, they know what they're driving to and what they've been doing and not to commit a mistake because it's a mind game for them and not to be controlled by being compulsive. There are gamblers also that have that thinking that just one big win and they're out and gonna make a business.

This is too worrying for those typical users that don't check the apps downloaded on their smartphones. Since the number of users has been enormous for these smartphones, they're not just targeting PC users but also everybody through this. That's why for websites whether I access them through a PC or a smartphone, whenever there's some unusual activity as per loading, I close it immediately before it performs a task to download automatically or directs me to that.

Thanks for all the heads up including OP, it's concerning and also made me check if I've got some unknown app that I have downloaded just because of being reckless.

You're not alone, many of us here I guess have that habit that we're not reading the TOS of where we're registering with. I think that's a par thing to do even if we don't read TOS and just sign up immediately but before we sign up, we're doing some research. However, that's still not a reason to avoid reading the TOS just because we've already made research. Actually, it's making me think that research first which is needed to be done, and then reading the TOS if we're decided to sign up and gamble from that casino we're researching. So, it's gotta be a combination of both of it to be not resulting into a mistake.

It's easier to talk to your brothers and sisters from the same father before proceeding to have a talk with their mothers. With that approach, you probably have a bond already with them and they are much more accepting than the mothers.
But do observe if things have calm down and neutral, if they're all good and like that then pursue what you think is right about having a talk related to bitcoin and if you think that the aura isn't good to proceed then you may just try again sometime in the future.

The risk that you're talking about is different from the actual risk that you'll take if you'll ever try to gamble on the streets. The physical risk is there and it's much more worrying because of what can be done unlike just sitting at home and gambling online. Being present is scarier than what we can think when you'll be surrounded by other gamblers that you don't know if they're with you or if they're there to just watch you around and wait for you to be swindled by them. We may have no idea of what people can do if it's about the money but with all of the news and actual scenes that are happening now, that's giving us the thought that the worst might happen because of it.

Well, with the banks we can't exchange our crypto holdings whilst with Binance we can use them and exchange our cryptos into fiat. That's my analogy on why I'll choose Binance over a bank if there's really no other choice to make. I do like some of the banks but the fact that they're just really for safe keeping, even if that's the main reason for putting your money there, trust no one. They're all centralized, they can freeze your money anytime as they wish and reason out that you've got a red flag on them.
