There is an opinion that the more money you spend, the more you get in return, it is interesting to find out who really works in this direction. I spend enough money, but I have a fixed income, therefore I will not be able to get more. I don't have rich relatives, and I don't expect an inheritance either. I want to get rich, not to deny myself, but I have to save on everything. Who really faced big expenses and received even more? How does it work, maybe I don't understand the essence of it correctly?
You don’t have to force yourself to spend more than of your income, that will not make you rich but it will clearly put you into debt. Even in an investment, bigger capital does not guarantee high returns too. So the safest way is just to spend or invest an amount that you can afford to lose. However, if you apply this condition to helping others, well it’s really true the more you give, the more you receive. But know that we should not always expect returns from others because that will only disappoint us if ever.
Indeed. Spending more even the purpose is to use it for investment doesn't necessarily mean you'll gain more. As we know, it is associated with risk hence the result is not guaranteed. Therefore before you spend your money for investment, have plan because not all investments are profitable and many of them are just scam.

Anyway, when it comes to helping others by giving more, it's an act of kindness and as you've said we should not be expecting to get anything in return. People with a good heart is more blessed and that's what you'll get for being a blessing to others.

Basta play to earn, you can expect more pinoys to adopt.

Unfortunately, simula ng bumaba ang Axie marame ren ang nawalang ng interest sa mga P2E.

I’m wondering why we are still in number 1 this year, ano ang nilalaro nyo ngayon? Profitable ba?
Basta pagkakakitaan talagang go mga Pinoy diyan. Tiyak marami na namang mag ask sa mga crypto adept kung paano kumita at maglaro diyan, pero syempre huli na naman sila sa balita kasi rising na yung laro. Sa ngayon konti lang magkaka interes diyan pero pag may video na kumalat at yumaman, diyan lang magkakaroon ng demand. Good thing if nauna ka.

Well, hindi naman nagkakalayo ang estado ng demand sa ibang mga bansa kasi sa tingin ko bumaba rin yung naglalaro wherein sa 'Pinas kahit kumonti mas marami naman parin ito kumpara sa iba. That's just my guess.
Kapag talaga pagkakakitaan hindi tayo pahuhuli dyan. Nakaka attract naman talaga kapag may nakita kang gamer tapos ang laki na ng kinikita nya sa paglalaro syempre ma engganyo ka din subukan. Lalo nung panahon na sikat na sikat ang axie at napabalita pa nga sa tv na malaki ang kitaan, marami ang sumubok pero hindi lahat nagtagumpay dyan.

Kaya hindi na talaga surprising makita ang bansa natin na nangunguna sa mga interesado sa web 3 game. Dahil kalimitan satin sunod talaga sa uso lalo na kung may posibilidad na kumita.
903  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What was your biggest fear with starting in crypto? on: May 19, 2023, 01:26:19 AM
Genuinely want to know what prevents your friends/gf/ colleagues from investing? Did you have any barriers when you first started?
At first, i'm hesitant to engage myself in crypto due to my past experiences. I got scammed from my previous investment online, the reason why it's not easy to trust again. But as time goes by, after learning about crypto particularly Bitcoin I proved to myself that it is different to the investment that I joined before. The doubts and worries were replaced by optimism after I experienced to profit with my investment, even it takes time.

On the other side, the common barrier on why some people are not investing in crypto is lack of capital. Even they gain knowledge and aware that it is profitable, lack of money that is meant for investment is a hindrance to engage themselves.
904  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most altcoins are fake (wakanda) on: May 18, 2023, 08:40:10 AM
Please what is the aimed of those people doing fake crypto currency?
Of course to make money. They deceived the people by creating a project and promising the investors to have a good return when they invest and making it looks like the project is really worth to take the risk. This is one of the reason why it's quite risky to invest in new coins, because majority of them are shitcoins without utility.

Anyway, since wakanda has still value, why don't you wait until bullrun? Who knows the price might soar high. I also have meme coin that I bought 2 years ago but the difference is, I already profit from it and just holding some to see if the bullrun in the future can influence the price to increase. Anyhow, this is a lesson for you to not trust the new coins easily without doing your own research because scammers are already smart to create a project that looks genuine.
905  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc price preeiction on: May 18, 2023, 05:02:49 AM
$40,000 top this year, that's possible. But $11,000 as the bottom? That's most probably not going to happen. Not within the year, much less next year. 2024 is the halving year. Although there might be a dip months before the halving, I think $11,000 is a bit of an exaggeration. After the halving, the price will most likely be generally going up so $11,000 is very unlikely.

$100,000 could be in next year. But I don't think there's a bull run that will last 2 to 3 years. That's again an exaggeration. But do you have a basis for this prediction of yours?
$40k this year is very possible and I also agree with you that $11k is also not possible. I believe that the worst bitcoin can go before the bull run is $20k and not below. The days of perpetual bear market is gone as from henceforth we are moving towards the green.
I don't believe in $100k this year. It is somthing very difficult to happen.
$100k is possible next year as many investors are probably buying Bitcoin in preparation for the bullrun that might happen after halving. But for this year my prediction is, the price can go higher up to $35k, it's more realistic. The price didn't last long above $30k it's because of some investors taking advantage the price increase hence it is not surprising at all to see the price declining and not increasing consistently.

Nevertheless, whatever the price might end up before this year end, secure yourself by buying Bitcoin at cheaper price while we're not in bullrun yet. Continue holding and be patient.
906  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Earning online more preferable than offline? on: May 18, 2023, 01:47:44 AM
Earning money online is far superior to working at a physical establishment during the day. Although offline is highly appreciated and difficult. Trading is a great approach to find your true self. It will put everything to the test, including your greed, emotions, patience, discipline, how you handle failure, control, common sense, and resolve. I strongly advise anyone who is going through a terrible time in their life to learn to trade since it provides them a clear sense of purpose other than waiting for jobs. So, which is better, online or offline?
Trading is a good alternative if you want to earn online. However it's not easy as what you think it is because many traders as well decided to quit because of frequent losses. The reason why it is not advisable for beginners to leave their job to be a trader and see for themselves if it is profitable to go full-time.

So, which is better, online or offline?
Online is better, less expenses for transportation and food plus you hold your time depending on what your job is. Moreover, the ways to earn are not only limited in trading (it's just one of your option) since there are plenty of opportunity to earn online and it depends on your knowledge and skills.

908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: May 17, 2023, 03:08:36 AM
This happened to me already twice in a row. I'm gambling for a long time but this is the first time I experience this kind of messy situation because it involves the fck up mempool.

I deposit my funds in a casino using a low-priority fee. I managed to triple my bankroll by playing a quick game of Blackjack with huge bets. But since my deposit is so frickin slow to confirm while I don't want to bump my fee since it will create a different transaction on my account. Due to my winning streak while still waiting for many hours, I decided to just play slowly using a 1$ bet. This 1$ bet grows to all-in because I just keep losing for an insane lose streak just because I can't withdraw my funds.

Sharing my personal experience of my recent losses so that no one will commit this same mistake. Bet responsibly. I will stay away from gambling for a while now that mempool is starting to suck once again.

DON'T GAMBLE IF THE INSTANT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT AVAILABLE!
I can relate to your experience because it also happened to me many times. I really like a casino where you can use your deposited money instantly even without blockchain confirmation because you don't have to wait. But the problem is if you already win and wanted to withdraw your money. Since you really have to be patient and control yourself not to bet again because chances are you'll lose what you won already.

Thus, my solution for this is, if i'm already contented with my winnings, I just simply logged out my account and return after few hours and see if it's already available to withdraw. To be able to do this of course you need to control yourself. Somehow it is working for me, did it twice. But now, I chose not to gamble for a while because i'm currently busy at work.
909  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Isa kaba sa my mga bitcoin or any crypto noon? on: May 17, 2023, 12:31:47 AM
Ako may bitcoin din noon at ibat ibang klase ng altcoins pero kada may altcoins ako at nasa market na benta na agad. Mga natira lang sa wallet ko yong mga nasalihan kung scam project after campaign iniwan na ng owner ang mga ito.
Sa bitcoin naman pinalit ko sa peso nung year 2016-2017 kasi biglang taas ang bitcoin dati.
Pero ngayon wala na start ulit para kumita.
Okay lang kung start ulit sa simula at wala ka ng hinohold ngayon. Karamihan naman sa atin ngayon ganyan ang sitwasyon at nanghihinayang sa nangyari.
Pero, kahit naman parang namiss na natin ang mas magandang opportunity. Basta nakabenta ka sa mataas na price at nagamit mo ang pera ng maayos, panalo na yun para sa atin.
Totoo yan. Marami satin ang nanghinayang na nagbenta agad dahil may mas itataas pa pala pero kung naibenta mo naman sa maayos na presyo at kumita ka, panalo na yun gaya nga ng sinabi mo. Sa part ko, meron ding pagsisisi pero dahil kumita at nakapundar kahit konti eh malaking bagay na yun, kaya wala ng point para balikan pa ang nakaraan kasi nangyari na.

Ang importante ngayon ay ang kasalukuyan. Kasi alam na natin ang posibleng mangyari kaya mas wise na tayo sa desisyon na dapat gawin. Hindi pa huli para magsimula ulit dahil maraming coins ang pwedeng bilhin na hindi pa ganoon kamahal. Kahit paunti-unti ang pagbili basta sa coins na alam mong may potential at hindi magiging shitcoins kahit i hold mo ng matagal.
910  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: May 16, 2023, 07:46:37 AM
Many gamblers are playing but can't accept their losses so they're blaming others for what happened, and in most cases they put the blame in the casino. Aside from reading the casino's tems and condition to become aware of the rules, it's also important to prepare yourself for the possible consequences if you gamble your money because losing it is likely to happen. So incase you're not lucky to win, it's not hard to accept the outcome because you know the risk.

This kind of people should be banned on playing in any casino or gambling platform.  This brings more trouble than profit to the gambling industry.  Not only they are blaming Casinos for the losses, they even put a lot of effort in defaming the platform where they got their huge losses.  We have seen several cases like this in the forum, even filing a scam complaint on the casino platform which at the end is futile because they have no evidence in hand, and the thread is created due to hate and unacceptance of losses.
It's like they say that there is always a black sheep in every family, I could remember back in the days, when there were no online casino, gamblers have to visit a physical casino to gamble, I heard stories of how some gamblers who lost big on the casinos return back to the same casino with a gun to rob the casino, some did rob the casinos successfully, but one thing lead to another, they end up being caught and jailed, others who are not so lucky are caught on the spot and sent to jail.

Today, most gamblers now do their gambling online, and since the losers can not find the casino to rob, they resort to baseless accusations, image defamation and other vices through which they try to cause fud against the casino, well, I am not surprised though, this is some kind of attack I personally think every online casino should prepare themselves for, cus its gonna come from time to time.
Reading all these replies make me wonder what class of gambler will blame the casino for their own losses because failing to accept responsibility for your actions alone is a bad addiaddictionits own talk more when it is associated with gambling,  the fact that a gambler can not manage the pain of losing as much as he celebrates the joy of winning already signal a bad attitude that can trigger up depression in gamblers.

I have read one of two complaints from gamblers who blame casinos for their losses and that sounds awkward to me and as a matter of fact,  I don't take them seriously at all and at any point where I have the opportunity to advise such players,  I always try to suggest to them to take a break from gambling to avoid getting deeply addicted.
It's a human nature to sometimes experience an in denial stage because you need to absorb first that it is the reality, you gamble, so you lose your money. The problem is if you're desperate to get it back or would like to have someone to blame for the unfortunate situation that you are in, even if it's solely your decision to gamble your money. There are many gamblers with such behaviour so it is not unusual to see some accusations (without valid evidence) against the casino.

As I have said before, if you can't accept losing your money in gambling then don't gamble, this is to save yourself from headaches and stress.
911  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Third graders and Bitcoin on: May 16, 2023, 05:18:32 AM
I had a math class with third graders of which we discussed money I told them about virtual and real money of which I was very shocked and happy that they had knowledge about Bitcoin.
However we ended the class after we had spoken alot about Bitcoin they were soo happy and loved the class also
Like wow being with the kids was a nice time for them and I to get to know Bitcoin better look forward to having a class with them next week
The new generation kids are already expose to the current technology and has an access on the internet. If they have knowledge about Bitcoin then probably they heard it on different social media platforms. It's a good thing that at a young age they're already aware of Bitcoin.

Moreover, you as their teacher can guide them on what Bitcoin really is as a virtual currency. So they would not think it's a scam, like what we often see on news addressing Bitcoin as scam. But the truth is, it is only use as tool by these scammers. So through you, they will be enlighten on its purpose and why Bitcoin is existing.
912  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational Parade on: May 16, 2023, 03:43:02 AM
do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?
No. Even the intention is good, I don't think it will be effective to reduce the gambling addiction. Instead, people might become curious to this slot game and started playing because they got attracted due to this parade. I agree on what others already replied here, the opposite of the expected result is what they can achieve for doing this.

A gambling addiction awareness and seminars are more effective if the Government is serious to reduce the gambling addiction and remind the people of its effect. With this parade, they just expose the slot game to people even the intention is not to attract them to gamble.

There is an opinion that the more money you spend, the more you get in return, it is interesting to find out who really works in this direction. I spend enough money, but I have a fixed income, therefore I will not be able to get more. I don't have rich relatives, and I don't expect an inheritance either.

You can get more in return if you're spending in useful things with a long term benefit like investing. But if you're just spending your money for wants then how can you get more by doing that? It can only give you problem financially.

The saying that I know is "don't spend more than what you can earn" to be able to save some money for rainy days. Those who can spend more and get more in return are wise to use their money for business or investment. Because that's reasonable on why you're spending more even your income is fixed.

   ito ay pinadala sayo ng kamag-anak mo dahil posibleng ito ay phishing site.
Sa tingin ko eto yung pinaka common na paraan ngayon para maka pang scam sa social media lalo na sa messenger. Yung mga nagsi send ng links usually mga promo na nakaka attract kung hindi ka maingat. Nabiktima na ang anak kong teenager sa ganyan at na hack nga ang kanyang account. Ginamit ng hacker yung account nya para manghingi ng pera sa mga relatives namin, buti na lang naalerto agad kaya naiwasan.

Yung 1 at 2 may paraan para hindi ka mabiktima at yan ay kung prepared ka na hindi maki charge at gumamit ng public wifi. Kailangang maging maingat dahil kahit saan pwede ka mabiktima ng hacker/scammer. Kaya salamat sa pag share op dahil magandang awareness ito para sa lahat.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 15, 2023, 07:25:24 AM
Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Good advice. Having a set budget before playing can prevent you from spending beyond your limit. Learn to have discipline, self-control and don't let your emotions influence you on making a decision. On the other side taking a break can help to think clearly and less pressure for yourself.

Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.
This is a must if you want to overcome your addiction. Don't hesitate to seek help because the support of family and friends are necessary to encourage you on changing what you used to.

I'd like to add, for gamblers, before you play be aware of the risk and the possible thing that can happen. If you can't bear the idea of losing your money in gambling, then don't ever try to gamble. Gambling is fun and you can win huge money but if you have no discipline it can create a negative impact in your life.
916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: May 15, 2023, 03:46:21 AM
Gambling is very risky if you want to gamble use an extra money and gamble that you can afford to lose. You may be able to play with your own and make sure that you are not getting addicted to it. Because once you get been addicted in that game you will be able to lose all your money.

It is true that when betting you have to be prepared to lose your money. But it's quite difficult to be able to bet without addiction, that's because of human nature, namely greed where when they lose something they will try to get it back. Therefore most people are trapped in this vicious circle. In fact, if they can manage their finances and bet according to their abilities, they can earn money from their games and many people have proven this.
The most control for me is betting smaller amounts and being able to afford to lose after that avoid thinking about a big win.
It's easy for me to avoid addiction like that it's just that everyone has different thoughts.
Especially slot gambling, if you can't control it all, you will get addicted quickly.
That's how it should be, to bet using small amount that you can afford to lose. But we know many of us do forget these basic rules when we gamble because of unable to control ourselves especially our emotions resulting to extended time of playing.

Well, it's a human nature to think you'll win when you gamble or if you stayed longer playing the particular slot. However the result is often the opposite of what you expected it to be. The reason why it's important that you know the risk when you started using your money in gambling to avoid thinking you'll end up in profit.

They reopened my account, I withdrew all my deposit, but the bets I won became 1
That's still better than losing money, thanks everyone for the support.
Everyone should consider when they win bets here.

You're lucky to get your money back. Many complaints here are not resolved because they're just ignoring the gamblers. I hope this will serve as a lesson for you to not play again on this platform, 1xbit can't be trusted so DYOR always.

But anyway, this incident won't affect their reputation here, because the fact is still clear that 1xbit is scam and the gamblers should stay away playing on this platform.

Also, i have one question for everyone who wants to blame others for losses, were you forced to do gambling by anyone? If not, then how can you say that another person is responsible for your loss? And more importantly, in case you win, will you also make responsible another person for this?
you don't have to ask them because they even know nothing about how they lose because they are being blocked by the promises of wining things that istead them forever until they finally realized their mistakes .
someone who gambles with his friends and suddenly may feel hesitant not to continue betting and sometimes friends can be a factor in losing or losing in gambling. for example I bet at a gambling place with $ 100 and after that I hesitated to stop for a moment with the remaining $ 50 but my friend said come on, you will definitely win and subconsciously my mind was influenced and tried again to bet after that, I lost again and ran out of all the money.
from incidents like this blaming a friend in the right circumstances or circumstances is fine because indeed a friend sometimes gives motivation or bad words when gambling persuades to bet again and lose. maybe blaming a friend is just a form of rebound.
But still, it is our decision if we will continue to gamble or stop already. If you let yourself be influenced by your friend's advice then that's your fault since they didn't force you, the final decision depends on what you think is the best thing to do at that very moment. Believing you can possibly back what you lost if you spend your remaining funds are not a good behaviour when you gamble.

Thus, if you gamble be certain that you're doing it because no one influence or force you to do so. This way, you will not held others accountable incase you lose your money in gambling. Be mature enough to accept the outcome and move on because there's no good if you dwell in the past since it happened already.

nowadays with the evolution of technologies, I wonder if someone goes to stay in a distant village they won't have access to a telephone and internet and gambling, it's hard to escape technology to avoid gambling, but it doesn't hurt to try , and it is true that staying away from all this for a long time the person manages to overcome the addiction, but we have to see if it will be a temporary or permanent cure
I experienced this few years ago, going to a place away from internet and live peacefully in a village far from city to stop my gambling addiction. I live there for a month to change what I used to because i'm spending too much money in gambling that led to debts. It does work for me maybe because I have the willingness to stop for the sake of my family and forget that chapter of my life.

It's also a lesson for me to not repeat the same mistakes again. It took me 2 years to gamble again, but this time as a discipline gambler and aware of my limitation.

Are they meant only for the Twitter followers to grab those giveaways as not all gamblers are following the gambling Twitter handle and some may rarely visit Twitter???

It is reasonable if duelbits give promotion to their followers in twitter, how about those gamblers who are not following duelbits in twitter? Simply start following it if they want to take the opportunity. The same as what they have done few years back when they were so active with contest in this forum, of course the main idea is to give special promo/contest for bitcointalk members but new comers may also participate by creating bitcointalk account. Promotions can be done anywhere, as long as duelbits think that it will give good impact then they will do it regularly. We as users are the those who should follow the trend, if the trend is now in social media then we should start follow them in social media so we have good chance to grab the giveaways.
Exactly. Giveaways on other channels doesn't necessarily mean it is only exclusive for the particular platform. Because if you don't want to missed their giveaways and promotions then it's up to us if we want to follow them outside the forum to be always updated.

IIRC, Duelbits launched an art contest here on the forum before, unfortunately I didn't had the chance to win. But when they also conducted an art contest on twitter (it's for halloween few years ago) I joined and won a spot. This is the advantage of following Duelbits on other platforms to not missed their latest promotions. So if they have separate promotions for each channels, it doesn't mean you can't take part. As long as you're eligible and followed the rules then I don't see any problem on why it will be an issue.
