1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: House edge on: May 06, 2025, 01:32:24 PM
Yeah understanding the house edge is key especially for those who play regularly. Most casual players do not really feel the effects in short sessions but it adds up over time. I used to ignore it too until I started tracking my wins and losses then it became clear how the odds are subtly working against you. Games like blackjack where skill and strategy can help reduce the house edge which is  a smarter choice if you are in it for the long haul.

Luck might give us a quick win now and then but it is strategy, learning & smart decisions that carry us further in the long run. I’ve come to see games of chance more as entertainment than profit takes the pressure off and makes it more enjoyable too.

An ATM generates income for the bank that has had it installed, so also can a slot machine generate income for a casino or game provider that has it installed, that is where the comparison come in.
I think the comparison is not about function but about strategy placing high-traffic machines in public spaces to generate revenue. Whether it is cash withdrawal or entertainment both are about accessibility and passive income generation. With how fast tech is moving I would not be surprised if we started seeing crypto-enabled slot kiosks in cafes or lounges soon. It is an interesting glimpse into what the future of gambling could look like.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the fear after lose? on: May 05, 2025, 07:23:35 PM
I’ve been in the spot the feeling after a lose seemed like as sure win shake my confidence wanting to chase the next win and also fearing another loss my head &heart are in two different places. I try to pause & remind myself that betting should stay fun and controlled. Sometimes it’s better to take a break reset mentally & come back when you feel clearer but if you really believe in your next picks & you are betting responsibly going ahead is not wrong either.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Emails- Trust, But Always Verify on: May 05, 2025, 07:18:15 AM
Nowadays, it is not a problem to have several email addresses, so each site important to you on the Internet can have a separate email. Having one email for the exchange and one for the casino, firstly, you will not doubt that you will be written to by scammers, but yes, of course, provided that you do not “expose” your email to other resources. Secondly, having received a letter from a casino or exchange with questionable content, a red flag should go off, indicating the security of your account.
Totally agree I’ve actually started using separate emails for different platforms too. It is made spotting suspicious emails so much easier especially since I know exactly which email should be receiving what. You are right the key is not exposing those emails elsewhere the moment something sketchy pops up on the wrong inbox it is an instant red flag definitely a simple but effective step toward better security.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: For what Ethereum Classic is still exists? on: May 04, 2025, 10:50:15 AM
Does it need better developer outreach? Probably.
Is it dead? Absolutely not.

It’s slow and steady but that’s what some investors and builders prefer.

I think it still holds relevance if you’re looking for a project that’s laser-focused on decentralisation and staying true to core blockchain values.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What percentage of betting players are long-term winners? on: April 27, 2025, 06:57:43 AM
I’ve been curious about this myself from what I’ve seen it’s generally accepted that only a very small percentage of betting players are long-term winners. I think the big challenge is that most official studies are either outdated, based on limited samples or not fully transparent. Bookmakers themselves usually don't publish exact stats for obvious reasons but there have been a few reports and insider leaks suggesting that long-term winners are extremely rare plus many bookmakers actually limit or ban accounts that consistently win over time which kind of confirms how uncommon it is.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: The red amarica? on: April 27, 2025, 02:42:42 AM
It's just a funny coincidence for sure! I think it’s more about bigger economic factors than symbolism for the markets being red now. Still you’re right the red cap definitely became a strong and lasting symbol tied to Trump’s image and era. Funny how things line up sometimes!
9  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Pionex - has anyone experienced this exchange?! on: April 26, 2025, 12:22:50 PM
I just heard about this exchange now sounds like Poloniex so it got me a bit curious. I checked on CMC and it’s currently ranked around top #60. The platform looks pretty beginner-friendly and the fees are quite low too. But yeah even though they have bot they’re not magic you still need a solid strategy and market conditions still play a big role in how they perform. Best advice start small first while you're still getting a feel for the platform.

12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto is back on: April 14, 2025, 12:06:15 AM
I’m definitely sceptical though. Even if it’s the original email the fact it was hacked makes me wonder if it’s just someone trying to ride on Satoshi’s legacy to push their own project. I’m considering the possibility of a sophisticated scam.

What aspects of the email convinced you that it could be legitimate or at least tied to the original Satoshi's vision?
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin miner on the outside, illegal arcade on the inside on: April 13, 2025, 04:06:40 AM
I’ve heard of mining farms trying to hide their electricity usage before but flipping it the other way around using mining as a cover for illegal arcades that's next-level creative and a little desperate. First time I've heard of a setup quite like this too makes me wonder what other crazy fronts people are using that we haven't even heard about yet.
14  Local / Pilipinas / Re: 98% listed token sa Binance ay nag dump? No doubt Bitcoin still the best choice. on: March 30, 2025, 03:30:12 PM
Matic na din kasi na kapag may malaking volume ang isang project mas makapasok ito ng malaking volume sa kanilang exchange and also big profits na rin. Kaya nothing to expect anything good with Binance right now dahil lately parang pera pera nalang talaga sila.

At para manatili sa top kaya siguro nila ginawa ito. At dahil alam na natin ang risk ng mga pinaggagawa nila mas mabuti siguro na maging maingat at wag basta basta magtiwalas sa mga alts kahit na listed pa sila sa Binance na yan.
Tama ka na aggressive talaga ang mga exchanges sa pag-list ng tokens at mas priority nila ang volume at kita kaysa sa quality ng projects. Nakakatulong ito sa hype at initial pumps pero tulad ng sabi nga karamihan sa mga tokens na nalilist sa kanila ay nagda-dump din agad. Kaya kahit listed sa Binance hindi ibig sabihin na safe or long-term viable ang isang token. Mas okay pa rin mag-focus sa Bitcoin at mga established alts na may solid fundamentals. At kung sakali mang mag-invest sa bagong tokens dapat extra ingat at laging DYOR.

15  Economy / Economics / Re: Which country is best in terms of giving benefits to citizens for tax collected? on: March 30, 2025, 01:09:41 PM
It really depends on what kind of benefits you value most. Based on this data countries like Norway, Denmark & Sweden offer extensive social welfare including free healthcare & education in return for high taxes. AFAIK places like Singapore have lower taxes but still provide strong public services and infrastructure.

16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The D'Alembert Betting System on: March 30, 2025, 11:52:06 AM
I've come across these systems before and it runs into the same issue as most progressive betting strategies there’s no guarantee of a win within a reasonable timeframe. A long losing streak can still drain your bankroll before you ever get the chance to recover. I think these systems give an illusion of control rather than an actual edge. At the end of the day bankroll management and knowing when to walk away are more important than any betting progression strategy.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin versus stocks : Which is your preferred pick between the two and why ? on: March 30, 2025, 08:00:17 AM
I’d go with Bitcoin over stocks. Yeah stocks offer stability and dividends but Bitcoin’s potential for growth and decentralisation makes it more appealing to me. It’s a hedge against traditional markets and inflation plus the continuous innovation in blockchain technology keeps the space dynamic and exciting. The long-term potential of Bitcoin as digital gold and a store of value outweighs the relatively predictable nature of stocks.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: some people call us stupid because we still love to gamble despite losing. on: March 30, 2025, 07:01:55 AM
I think it's mostly people who can't afford to lose who criticize gambling. Religious people are taught to be kind, so if they insult gamblers, isn’t that contradicting their beliefs?

If they want to blame someone, they should start with the government for legalizing it in the first place. Go after the root cause, not just the people playing the game.
A lot of people judge gambling without really understanding why some of us enjoy it. Sure there are losses but that’s part of the experience just like any other hobby where you spend money for entertainment. It’s easy for outsiders to criticize without knowing the mindset behind it. At the end of the day as long as you’re gambling responsibly and within your means what others think doesn’t really matter.

Magandang investment talaga itong gold for long term plan, hindi talaga ko mahilig sa gold eh mas trip ko pa silver when it comes to jewelry pero na curiuos ako sa topic na to at nag research ako. Akala ako pwede bumili sa BSP, hindi pala, pwede ka lang mag benta sa kanila, correct me if I’m wrong.

Ito oh sa Cebuana Lhuillier, may nakapag try na ba bumili sa pawnshop na to? depende sa design ang pricing kaso walang certification.
