Traders with a lot of determination, focus and patience are most likely to become successful in the end. But for those who only trade for profits and are just waiting for the opportunities to come, I guess they will be left behind as smart and passive traders will always look for opportunities where they can grow their income, and not just only waiting for it to happen.
Every trader has that quality of waiting for the profits, even investors and those speculators. We're all for the profits, no matter what qualities we have.

We all will meet in the end by having that reason.

But the difference is that those that are determined, they'll make themselves find a way to be profitable and stable in trading. They'll collect every lesson, data and experience they've gained through the losses they incurred.

The technology really affects the time duration that people who enjoy or maybe get addicted to gambling, by simply clicking the site and everything is set to go.

It's alarming and without proper control of your time and good money managements, the chance of getting broke is really high.
Time is quicker when we're in front of our gadgets and that's why it's really making us spend a lot of time using these gadgets. It's a very effective way to kill time if you don't have anything to do.

You just sit and use your gadget and then later on, an hour has already passed.

Alarming as it is when you're not worried about your usage and time. And for the bettors that uses their phone, there's not that much of a problem if it's consuming their time.
A great deal of the problem is the notification system, if you have to use your phone you just grab it and do whatever you want, however with notifications your phone is always ringing and reminding you that something is happening, most of the time what's happening is not important and it doesn't matter if you take your time and respond whenever you have time available, but this creates anxiety in people believing that they are missing something important, so they check the phone not because they actually want to do it but as a reaction to a stimulus, and if you do this enough times then it will become impossible for you to ignore those notifications, wasting a lot of time in the process.
You have to set that manually for you to still be on time with how long you're using your phone, whether it's for gambling or gaming.

But that's a good idea and there are people who have been doing that to remind themselves voluntarily that they should stop once the notification and alarm rings.

Well, the real gainers aside from #1 to #2 are the whales. The scheme of PoS is really for them, the rich folks, and they'll be richer than ever because of it.
You are right the whales are the biggest gainers as the power to control the network have been handed over to the ethereum holder who stakes the balance of the pool to process transaction, there is one strong limitation to the proof of stake consensus which is the ability of the highest ethereum holders to control the process of transaction processing in the network. There is a fact that proof of stake will less the energy consumption by the ethereum holders and aside from this I don't see much advantage the merge has over proof of work and if we must view it closely the proof of stake favors the big bag holder who can afford to lock their funds in the staking pool for a long time and giving them the power to control the network.
It's really favoring those whales that has the most holdings and they're taking care of the network. While the little players, yeah, we also are part of it but we can't do much with it.

They're the ones that will bag more profits as they've invested more and held more Ethereum before the merge. Right now, I just hope that the network is still secured and there won't be flaws caught out with this transition.

How I wish that I was one of the people who holds a lot of ETH.
1504  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Huge Down from ATHs. what will happen the next ? on: September 15, 2022, 10:09:23 PM
Although Charlie have spoil the reputation of litecoin the year he make a public announcement about selling his hold but understand this, a coin not making a huge pump in price doesn't mean it is not good for an investment, and what is important is the altcoin's longevity. The last time Litecoin appear to be making steady price growth which is better than an overbought altcoin that will pump and dump hard.
That's true.

I think if that Charlie is still active and didn't sold all of his holdings
Yes, Charlie is still active but that was after he see the result of his decision some years ago and for the record, he sold all his LTC holdings. Although, he may later buy back after some die-hard enthusiast of LTC talks to him about the consequence of this decision.
I think he has already spent that profit he's made after selling at the top. Litecoin's ATH last year was just the same when he has sold.

there's still a chance by now that it's still one of the top 10.
Technically, LTC is one of the top 20s, and the competition in the crypto market is different from 4-6years ago. The only way LTC can claim the top 10 spots will be if they introduce something unique into the market which will solve some problem in the market or if the LTC dev team raised an army of shillers just like this Shiba inu coin team does.
If he's still there, I'm sure that he's able to maintain it on the top 10 but not anymore today. I don't think that the team will still do something like that after all the swings that it has made.

As we look at its reputation and longetivity in the market, it's still showing a strong volume.
That's why it may not be a good investment for some but for its utility being used for transactions, I think that's what is holding its ground.
I agreed and that's why I hold a couple of it but 95% of crypto enthusiasts these days are after profit and always flock to the most profitable or hyped coin.
We're all for the profit. Whatever we find in the market, that's what we think.

But, it's not going to be as easy as it is but adding to be patient is what they must have as a quality but I'm sure that they'll be like that as they know what's ETH is all about these days.
1507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 14, 2022, 11:48:42 PM
He can always have any exhibition fight after his pro boxing career is over and this guy is a truly charitable person who always wanted to help. One of his ways is becoming to get into politics to further help others in need. Anyway, his era is over and we are now living in a different era where names like Inoue, Canelo and Haney, and others are the talks in the boxing industry. next Saturday will be a huge fight that will be one of the historical fights this year can't really wait for that. Canelo vs GGG III will finally happen.
There is no doubt that he's got a good heart but he's already past his prime and I agree that he can do exhibition matches for charity purposes if he wants to but, he can always get a cut from it.

Manny is no longer in his prime, what we have is just memories of those run when he was in top of the game for many years. No one can escape Father time not even the great and elite fighters. At least when he lost to Ugas, he knows when to stop and focus on other matters like the PH Presidential election in which he lost badly. And then the news of his return thru exhibition match against a South korean if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, that's the news but it seems that there's no more update that I've seen about that match. But maybe within the next month, we'll see.

He tried to do what he had to do at the same time and he won at some point in time but later on Pacman realized that he is not getting any younger and should only pick one fight at a time that's why he retired after he lost to Ugas and focused on politics as he is also busy at that time for the presidential election.

Now, that he almost got all the time in the world, and just like what we've speculated, Pacman is not coming back but on an exhibition fight.
With the losses that he's made, that also made him realize that he's aged although he can still really box well. But age does really play a factor for athletes like in boxing.

If you are talking about Manny Pacquiao, his last match he really became a slug out there.  He even stated his legs are tight, meaning he has difficulty in moving.  I don't know if that is the sign of old-age where your minds are able but your body is not.  Manny may be slowed down and it was shown in his last fight.
And that's why, professional fights could be a no to him for now and he just have to accept the matches that there's not that match of stake for his professional record.
1508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Father of Blockchain on: September 14, 2022, 11:03:44 PM
I'm pretty sure that he's got the idea elsewhere but credits to what he has done. He can be recognized in anything that the people will give him and it's for the community to give that credential whether it's the father of blockchain or just plainly one of the big contributor in the aspect of technology.

AFAIK, he's still got a project today and it's in crypto.

I just can't find it anymore but I've seen it before and it's like there's an upgrade that his team has done to it. Or I'm not sure if he's still that active on that project or he has just given the go signal to use his name.

1510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: September 14, 2022, 09:57:03 PM
The money being used to gamble is hard to trace and determine if it's from money laundering activities but enforcing KYC will be a big help. They could freeze the account with suspicious activities but not all laundered money will be traceable. Some casinos don't mind checking their gambler's source of funds as long as they're earning.
And that's why those that have been into money laundering knows what to do and they're letting it flow to the casinos so that it won't be traceable anymore.

One reason also why gambling business has such a huge tax because of this reason and probably the government has just accepted the fact that it's hard to trace, thus taxed largely.
1511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [POLL] After the merge the price of Ethereum will go? on: September 14, 2022, 08:52:27 PM
With the market now, I don't think that we'll see the positive reaction of its price when the merge happens. It's still known that ETH also follows the path of bitcoin.

And as what we can see right now, it doesn't look good for bitcoin so the whole market is.

We'll see, it's just a few hours left until the merge finally happens but I don't think we'll see a buff.
1512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum The Merge on Google on: September 14, 2022, 07:56:51 PM
I'm expecting that the same thing will happen when we're near to the bitcoin halving. That's even giving more hype and excitement if ever google does that.

I am starting to doubt that it will happen. Google has obviously chosen the PoS side and pr for promoting PoW now would be just bad. I am starting to feel more and more that there will be immense pressure against PoW based coins soon.
It's not all about choosing the PoS side or Pow Side. It's all about what they're looking at the crypto market and such events are given that type of projection onto their platform.

But we will see it then, there are too many websites that are only there for the bitcoin halving countdown and they can start that when it's like a month to come and they'll just put the projection when someone searches for it.

Especially against those that consume too much electricity. At this point, i don't mind. I have zero bitcoins left and i don't believe that it can sustain itself against governments.
Okay, I see where you're coming from and maybe that will change when you start holding bitcoin again.
1513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum The Merge on Google on: September 13, 2022, 10:39:22 AM
About google, they've became a validator for the ron network from Sky Mavis. So, this is a good sign that google is giving that way of monitoring the market from events like the merge for Ethereum.

I'm expecting that the same thing will happen when we're near to the bitcoin halving. That's even giving more hype and excitement if ever google does that.

Well, these big tech companies are already in and showing that they're no longer ignoring the crypto market and the updates that happens within it.

Well, you better not entertain if someone's trying to tell you that both of you can get "free" bitcoins that seems to be sketchy. Actually, it's good that you've asked first before proceeding.

If it wasn't for your question, probably you've already fell for the scam that he's about to you.

Don't entertain that person again whoever is telling you to do it.
1515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Rise of Mobile Gambling Is Leaving People Ruined and Unable to Quit on: September 13, 2022, 08:44:00 AM
Regardless of where you prefer to play (either in physical casino or online) if you have discipline then you're not one of those gamblers who will experience a gambling problem because of their way on how they deal with it.
Well, sometimes people who really are experiencing a gambling problem, they don't want others to notice it but only them.

And as they notice it and admits that they're experiencing one, they are also highly declining that they're at a worse situation while dealing that problem.

They think that they're still at moderation but they can notice their habits are changing.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 13, 2022, 07:41:54 AM
It's good that after Pacquiao loses the fight, he realized what thing he needs to focus on and he did that, which is focusing on his election campaign.
He's doing a lot of things and he can't just do all of those at the same time. As said, I thought that he'll be having another match after the election that he's part of.

But, I'm not expecting him to be the same with his past matches, yes he aged but there's still the power and speed that he's got.

Still, not that the same anymore where most of us were amazed back then.
1517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Luxury resort, Palazzo Versace Dubai now accepts BTC on: September 13, 2022, 06:17:48 AM
Good news, so, it's going to be a combination of looking for an airline that accepts btc and go to Dubai and also stay on that resort paying with btc if you want to.

But honestly, I wouldn't want to spend that much of my bitcoin on extravagant vacation as I just want to hold more of it. And since it has mentioned cryptocurrencies and they will adopt more in the future, if ever I want to spend it, that's what I'll use but not bitcoin.
1518  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading gambling in another form? on: September 12, 2022, 09:54:13 PM
There is a slight difference between them, but some people will confuse them. Gambling has no refund; once you have initiated or staked your game, you will have to wait for the outcome before knowing your faith; whereas trading can be monitored and even changed by the trader; the trader can decide not to trade again and take back his initial investment, and he can also take any profit he has at any time and decide whether to end it soon or not.
It really is confusing in a sense that you're always doing the same thing yet there are factors that differs each of them.

But with what you've said about refund, they're also the same with it. What you've said in gambling about no refund, you're free to withdraw it at any time as well.

As long as you're on the threshold and minimum withdrawal, you'll be allowed to.

That's what he need, a team that can help him also to win the game and not only him to carry the whole team.

We can say that there are players that can bring up a team but that's not going to be enough these days when you're against the whole team with bunch of good players and really can contribute a lot per game.

We may see WB go back onto his shape but you're right, that he might have hard time carrying it.

I think there's a good chance he ends up in Utah.  They have a pretty weak team now and are in full rebuild mode.  The Lakers will package 1st round picks with Russell Westbrook to get rid of his contract.  The Jazz could use a ball hog scorer like Russ who can carry a team to a few wins by himself while they rebuilt.  I feel like this is going to happen because it's the only trade that makes sense for both sides.  With training camp starting soon, I suspect we'll have some movement on this front.
I agree that Utah is sort of weak right now.

And by some new rumors coming out that Clarkson is going to be taken by other teams that might pick him a trade then Utah could really bring WB if they want to.

Well, just a few waits to go and we'll all see on what's with the rumors are going to be correct and who are the players that will be transferred from here and there.
1520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 12, 2022, 08:37:46 PM
Much better to get into Lakers than to stay in Blazers without having that much impact from the teammates. That matters, the chemistry.

And I think that wherever Westbrook lands, that team has been longing to have been. Blazers might not want to release their star player but if they've been offered with a good deal, they might take it and won't decline it.

Maybe if Westbrook goes into that team, we may see him back play at what he used to be.

Maybe he will get the normal stats pre Lakers, but he will not be able to carry that team. He will be dominating the ball again because there are no other stars, and he will be the first choice. So, his stats will go up like before, but he will not be able to carry that team to any significant finish because he will have no help. If dame cannot carry the Blazers to the finals, I do not think Westbrook will. His carrying days are over. Most likely, he will just be padding his stats to fish the next contract. That is, if Blazers will take WB, that I doubt will happen. They will stick to Dame most probably.
That's what he need, a team that can help him also to win the game and not only him to carry the whole team.

We can say that there are players that can bring up a team but that's not going to be enough these days when you're against the whole team with bunch of good players and really can contribute a lot per game.
