1001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?! on: August 30, 2023, 03:52:52 PM
That's just how gambling works; you would win sometimes and lose often. But this has nothing to do with such pattern but rather more of a coincidence. If you would observe it clearly, there'll be no consistency with such thing. You will even sometimes lose for a month and vice versa. There's no assurance with gambling but I prefer assuming a more often losses in order for me to prevent myself from being too greedy of winning.
Playing for many years, I observe a certain series of wins and losses. It looks like it every time! Also in casino chats, a lot of people talk about it.

How do you win and lose?

You should have posted a screenshot on those chats, I noticed this several times but I just treat it as a series of luck and house edge coming into play, I never think of it as a sort of manipulation, for me there are days where anything you do leads to losses and there are days whatever you bet you win.
How I win depends so much on my luck in luck-based games and on sports betting it's on my analysis, if my analysis is good I have a good chance to win and make money, that's all there is to me, if I think there's manipulation I have to feel it and I should back it up with proofs.
If most of the players are saying such thing  then it could be a fact however, you'd just sometimes associate outcomes and form such pattern to compensate with outcomes especially when losing 'coz this is the same with others who thinks that there's a season wherein most of us are winning; the fact not all of us does  then that breaks the 'pattern' we are seeing.
1002  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Still not a safe practice even if it works on: August 29, 2023, 06:01:35 PM
But those players who are using VPN are simply finding a way to access a gambling platform and not by means of cheating the game. Indeed there are restrictions to some gambling sites regarding this concern but if the house itself allows it  then who are we as players to oppose it without any given cheating incidents?
Why would you use a VPN, if online gambling is allowed in your country?
If you have to use a VPN in order to access an online casino, this means that your Internet Service Provider(ISP) is restricting your access to online gambling platforms, in accordance to you country's legislation and regulations.
Using a VPN to access a gambling website means that you are breaking the laws of your country. The online casino might take your deposits and even allow you to withdraw your profits, but what if the VPN company reports your browsing history to your country's authorities?
I know that this is close to impossible to happen, but some VPN companies don't delete your browsing data.

You say that like it's a bad thing to break the law  Grin
You are too subjective in this matter. If you live in a civilized country that respects human rights, then this does not mean that everyone lives in such countries. Probably in most countries of the world people suffer from the oppression of groups that have seized power, so breaking the law is not something bad, but just a way to exercise their rights.
Law is given by people with authority and in this industry  those are gambling site owners or providers. If it is law in general then we would mostly be guilty given that gambling as an activity is prohibited to many countries so what makes us better than others? Also, those who are using Vpn are the ones at risk of being taken advantage of simply because of irregularities with network and overall accessibility to the site.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do the size and frequency of online casino winnings depend on the time of year? on: August 29, 2023, 05:22:35 PM
No relationship I guess. But if it is general possibility then it is possible especially if gambling provider would want to through algorithm. But I doubt it would be an obvious thing 'coz it will be prone to abuse from players who would impossibly not notice such thing. I haven't heard any 'noise' about a period wherein many players are winning in this industry. This would definitely be hard to prove if incase there is given that most of the players are secretive of their gambling money. Also, there's this tendency that perhaps on holiday season there are more players who are winning ( just an example situation) sinply because more people have the money to gamble than the usual month. But still hard to support such possibility.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How late is too late to place a bet for a gambler? on: August 29, 2023, 04:49:02 PM
So many leagues and tournaments across the world have resumed preliminary matches of the season, as well as bookies and online bet platforms have rolled up their sleeves in response, to provide the best odds and bet options for its customers.

For so many reasons a bettor or gambler might make a late last minute decision that can either make them win big or lose big or prevent them from losing much bet on games they have played.

In order not to over stretch this topic, I just want us to dialogue candidly on your personal experience as to the one time you were so late in making a bet, but had to do it anyways.
 Did that last minute bet make you win or you lost more and regretted the decision?

How late is too late to place a bet or make a wager in both online and offline games and matches?

Are there also good online platforms or betting sites that have good last minute betting options for matches/games?
When odds have changed already. I've experienced this with sportsbetting wherein I was hesitating to bet on a particular team so I decided to bet during the game. When I made up my mind, odds are not as big as it was so I just avoided it and just enjoyed the match. Turned out that it was a better idea 'coz it could have been a losing bet. Well ofcourse feelings would be different if the outcome was a winning bet. So much better to play it safe when you're not sure of what you are betting than to just guess things out. Winning won't come easily so the least thing we can do is to lessen the tendency of losing until we get that win than to go all out early and have nothing in the middle.
1005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Only good coins are listed on top exchange? on: August 28, 2023, 06:58:55 PM
To answer your question, it is a no. Partnership to a platform will be required in order to list a token. Therefore  it is safe to say that not all good tokens will automatically be listed on exchanges. Maybe popularity of the project, paid partnership, or is it just those/that exchanges are choosing to list a token because they saw something from it which is more likely having relation to a token or project's popularity and demand from its investors.Exchanges won't mind picking the best ones but rather only those which have a volume will be listed to most of the exchanger platform. At the least, listing to a known exchanger, would benefit the token or management behind it as well.
1006  Economy / Economics / Re: Good and Bad at the same time - Mega entities hold $ 14 billions in Bitcoin on: August 28, 2023, 06:47:10 PM
That's a lot of money under one roof of each entity mentioned above. It should make us think whether this is good or bad to Bitcoin economy? Since these much Bitcoin are under their custody they have full control of it and we have already seen what happens when such entities get hacked for their data leak. The case of FTX is the biggest lesson for us.  
FTX went bankrupt because of mismanagement by Sam Bankman-Fried' and this problem led to FUD that affected the price of Bitcoin and altcoins. But the price of bitcoin recovered after a few months. My prediction will still be the same, if anything happens to any or all of these top investors, the price will drop and recover after some time.

And it does not really mean that these amounts are not in circulation because these amounts are in the liquidity pools from which traders are making there trades. I hope you do understand that the assets they have are in circulation and not in there holdings. But you can say that, the inflow and outflow almost remain equilibrium.
I don't get your explanation that the coins are not in the custody of these exchanges. Any circulation of bitcoin between or within any centralized is in the custody of these exchanges. Although you have access to assets these exchanges are the holders or custodians. Any coin that is in circulation outside a decentralized wallet cannot be said to be in circulation.

What would happen on that amount under their authority is something we won't avoid. But indeed, it would be wrong to generalize. We tend to relate FTX's issue with the likes but given that the two platforms have different management, then things would be different. Also, whether they choose to sell that huge amount of Bitcoin or not, we would be left with no other choice but to just ride the wave and hope for a fast recovery with the market price. For now, I would just be glad that huge investors are still into this technology 'coz worrying won't solve any problem. Let's just hope as well that more businesses would consider using this blockchain, for this industry's betterment in the future.
1007  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When to invest in bitcoin on: August 28, 2023, 06:27:35 PM
Rather than seeking for the right timing  focus on a price point wherein you are ready to endure market price changes. Perhaps the 'right time' is now, would you be able to hold it for weeks  or months? What if a sudden dump in its value happen for some reason given that we have no full control of its market price, what would you do then? Point here is to invest when you're ready and not when you think it is the perfect time to do so. You may enter at any price point you would like to but what would generate your profit is simply your patience as an investor. If you would be able to assure you won't pull your funds out if ever something happens, then go. What should be measured is one's tolerance over market price changes.
1008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Young people should take more advantage of the crypto space. on: August 28, 2023, 05:54:54 PM
I agree with the title itself. This industry is promising in the future and is already profitable at the present. Also, the idea of investment should really be one of the practices our youth should be doing for a better life 'coz it sucks just being an employee and just relying wiyh salary alone.
The world is moving to technologies and the young once are in good position to take the advantage of cryptocurrency, because to be rich in crypto assets is sure, but not get rich quick business in crypto space, why saying that is to buy and hold for 4 to 6 years ahead, I'm very sure huge return profits for holding for long term investment, and the younger ones are good position for that, because of level of responsibility is not much for them.
Indeed, they'll have the advantage as they already have the good sources of information that they want to know. What they just need is to dig it and expose themselves to crypto. For sure, with the technology that we have these days, it was easy for them to understand how crypto works and of course, how they benefit from it because their level of knowledge is high compared to old people. Therefore, I could say that it would have been a big mistake and regrettable act if they skipped this great opportunity that was already on their front.
Of course those who missed out on this great opportunity in the crypto space are regrettable, as the crypto industry hasn't been around for long so they still have great opportunities to jump in today and benefit from it.

Of course, apart from getting the benefits of the investment, it is better to learn how to use it for business internationally, because the regions may be hindered by laws in each country, but in the international space it is rare for countries to regulate the use of currency for transaction.
It's better if we learn how to make the technology, which will definitely get more free space in exploring this industry.
Regrets are fine as long as you've learned from it. With regards to utilizing crypto space for across countries, it would be a huge challenge. First of all, adoption with this technology is still being questioned at the present which serves as a limit for your mentioned goal. Also, we are talking about youth and that means it would be fine taking ffew small steps and avoiding to make a huge leap and end up with huge loss.
1009  Economy / Economics / Re: Bad economic situation makes bitcoins more difficult to keep. on: August 28, 2023, 04:59:48 PM
I was having a conversation with a friend, and we talked about how difficult the economy is and how it can disrupt someone's plan to hold their bitcoins without tampering with it. I think this is true because if you think of how difficult things are getting, Salaries from jobs no longer sufficient to sort all needs, and profit from business seriously affected and made intangible because of the increasing cost of running a business and the rising cost of things.

Holding your bitcoins has a lot to do with discipline truly, but discipline is harder to practice when you are being suffocated and suffering financially with plenty bills and responsibility to respond to. People in countries with better economy, where there are good jobs and businesses are working, Bitcoins will easier hold than for people who are in places with terrible economic situation. What do you think?

It is was always advisable you invest with your residual income, so that it won't affect your finances. Nobody invest with his/her entire savings or money. Hence you begin to invest your entire income, you will find it extremely difficult to survive your day to day expenses.
So next time, while investing, please put an amount that you can easily look away even if you're going through some sort of hard time, hard times don't last, it's just a period of time but don't go touching your investment.
Unfortunately, there are people who does invest all of their money because of greed and frustration. Problem starts with your mindset upon entering any investment. Ofcourse assuming for profit would be a good thing to instill but always consider factors and circumstances. Profit won't come in an instant therefore you should assure you would be able to 'hold into it' for as much time or months needed to come up with profit as your goal. Especially in this industry wherein market price volatility is an obvious thing therefore therew will always be unpredictable price movements which could cost you a lot if you'd panic and choose to cut losses.
1010  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I go with Bitcoin or Altcoins for the upcoming bull run cycle? on: August 28, 2023, 04:12:16 PM
Bitcoin will lead the way so I guess it would be best to prioritize it however, it will never be advisable to put all of your money in one bucket, much better to diversify and with that  choose the biggest ones in the market coz these coins are having higher chances to ride the wave once bulltrend occurs. But be careful on your entry point; never be too patient and never be in a rush, wait for the 'right timing'. Right timing for me is at a price point wherein you can endure both pump and dump to save you from worries.

Also, if you're interested with some altcoins, expect high market price volatility  higher than usual  when bull run starts. At the end of the day, decision is in your hand so better create your best analysis to avoid regrets afterwards.
1011  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: August 27, 2023, 05:20:15 PM
Isn't it stressful when we spend more than expected, right? especially if we follow a budget, having a smart spending habit is a good way to avoid such situations or events.
Whatever tricks and tips are conveyed to deal with excessive spending and discipline, of course all of them have concepts and theories, for sure I support all of that, especially in the economic field.

But as far as I know the theory doesn't run as smoothly as it does in practice, my understanding is the discipline in spending the first is:

* We have to travel and record the expenses and income that we get monthly, to handle the economy well.

If monthly expenses are routine needs, greater than automatic income, all the tricks and tips or methods will all disappear, but if the income is greater than the expenditure of course it's a good idea to do as the OP said, fact, needs must still be met regardless of the consequences, it is impossible for people to only prioritize discipline and how to deal with economic expenses, but they themselves hold back for the necessities of life.
Also, it would be easy creating a plan or tracking your expenses but it is hard to actualize simply because of circumstances. I do agree with daily needs and necessities which are quite non-negotiable. However  if that's the case then it is one's source of income which should be changed if such thing is not applicable to your daily expenses. You'd only choose between creating an adjustment with your daily budget to be spent or increase the amount you can spend. Discipline on the other hand is not something you would wish and happen in an instant. It depends simply on the individual whether he'd create positive changes or just endure problematic situation.
1012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A creative way to introduce BTC to newcomers on: August 27, 2023, 04:46:59 PM
Infographics and videos would be indeed more interesting to anyone but if it is with investment, then one's initiative will be always needed. Interest won't be enough to push someone especially towards investment which has a high risk. Not everyone can afford losing an amount but everyone is interested to earn profit; this is the problem. Inviting people towards this industry indeed is a good thing to do but always gauge and know who you are dealing with. If they'd be only interested because of profit alone and would be disregarding the risk of losing money  then you are wasting your time sharing this technology to them. Either you end up to be blamed or be thanked once they benefit from it.
1013  Economy / Economics / Re: Having a problem a Personal Finance? on: August 26, 2023, 07:02:48 PM
Reading a book, being financially literate, surfing the forum or watching videos will only give you long-term gains. If you don't have capital, knowing how to invest will not do you any good.
The economic crisis the world is in is obvious. If your salary isn't very good then you are trying to save the day. It's hard to set aside money to invest when daily expenses are so high.
Even if you lower your standard of living and don't spend luxuries, if your salary is low, you still don't have many options. Even if you want to spend a little money, you still have to spend a lot of money every day because of rising prices.
Although your suggestions may seem good, they don't have much validity in practice in real life.

I agree with you. Our lives are completely unpredictable. I wonder, do the authors of the books themselves live according to the advice they give? Personally, I doubt it. If you are a serious businessman, do you have time to write books? I doubt it. And if you have time to write books, then maybe this person only has time to write books (i.e., infotsygan)?
Well those authors in the field of business are having or releasing their books upon being known by more people for a reason that they have succeeded. Not all authors, but some really written their experiences along the way before being in such place at the present. They'd have time to write simply because they  are already successful with their lives and they no longer work for money. They would have enough time to construct and convey a message to their readers but with regards to their intention, only authors themselves would know whether they are aiming to inspire  or to just creating another business opportunity.
1014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to identify shitcoins? on: August 26, 2023, 06:31:42 PM
As an investor, i did a lots of invest in altcoins. Those were suppose to be good that time with having good hype, good team and community. But with having all of thats, most of altcoins scam after a time! I wonder for some altcoins, they were suppose not to be go but they scammed without any reason! And hundreds of altcoins are in my wallet, which are turn into dead shitcoin now.

I mean if it's not bitcoin then boom there you go you just identify it lol.  No seriously I think the easiest coins to stay away from is anything using a other coins name in theor name.  Like bitcoingold, or babydoge, etc.  They are just leveraging a name and are not serious projects to consider.  That's one way
On my end  I refer to it as a coin which appeared in a sudden without hearing anything about it. Also with a "bootleg" of something popular, indeed. However there are coins being introduced as a project and turning out to be one of the mentioned category so I do consider referring to it as failed tokens which had a price dump upon its listing to exchanges, and tokens with low market volume. But there's really no absolute definition of the mentioned term.  It won't be listed without any value in the first place. Well  for swing trades, these coins are still profitable but expect extreme price volatility especially if whales would choose to manipulate its demand and market value.
1015  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Helped Create Big Changes In Your Life? on: August 26, 2023, 05:53:46 PM
to be honest, through bitcoin, I made quite a lot of income when I first learned about crypto. However, it did change a few things in my life, where I had no income before, and when I got to know bitcoin, I did have some income, and it was pretty big. However, I've created several businesses that are still doing quite well, and I'm still thinking about improving that. This made my life change to be more confident than before.
Just wow. But I'm sure you also incur losses and sometimes it's big, right? And maybe you only didn't mentioned it because your profits are still bigger than that. You are lucky but you must also be skillful to pull all of that. OP said that this topic wasn't only limited to how much we earn on Bitcoin but have you tried incorporating Bitcoin on your business?

Maybe that can change your views as well about how money works. I know, many people have been using Bitcoin as their primary currency after they know it, and this is the biggest change in their life. For me, BTC change my life in a way that I'm more knowledgeable now and it taught me how to be patient. I won't mention the income for a while as it wasn't that big and it's getting common already.

I believe no one succeeds in this market without ever losing but the loss doesn't matter if the profit we make is many times bigger.

Incorporating bitcoin into your business depends on many factors, assuming you live in a country that is not bitcoin friendly or the taxes associated with bitcoin are too high. Then you should not combine them, it is not in your favor.

Well, in addition to bitcoin has improved the financial situation of many people, it has also changed the financial mindset of many people, and I am one of them.
Investors are the only people who benefits from Bitcoin, however not every investor does. Some are losing and others are winning simply because to invest is not the only thing an investor should do but also study the charts and make your own analysis of the price action unless you have unlimited tolerance of its market value. Given how volatile its price is, you should know that profit won't come in an instant and constantly. Also  I believe that it is not bitcoin who made changes in our lives but ourselves. It takes huge initiative and courage to invest into something, and this is what rewarding its investors.

Question now is, is everything in crypto industry because of Bitcoin? Some would say yes  and some won't. Bitcoin is believed to be the first cryptocurrency and other cryptos have jist followed and progressed as well. The answer I guess is no one would be able to tell 'coz this industry is already here; there are too many possibilities.
1016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some smart guy converted $1000 to 1 million in one day with $BALD coin on: August 26, 2023, 05:16:31 PM
It's called (Insider-Trading) he got early-information about the listing. Fun-fact, my self working as moderator we got some early information as well for the project I was manage to hit listing on exchange. -snip-
This makes more sense. Because most people frequently buy in stages and do so several months, weeks, or days in advance, at least that's what I have done in the past for other shit tokens. But if it isn't insider trading, then he is just winning the gamble.

Every token has a potential to be  or to have a 1000x price increase but only a few makes it simply because demand will only be triggered by majority and not by potential alone. Insider trading is also possible in this instance  but it could be luck as well. Point here is to invest an amount and see if you've made the right analysis and whether you would earn from it. Every investment is a gamble because of risk present. However, you won't get something if you won't atleast try giving it a shot. Knowing the enlistment of token won't be an enough factor for a price increase so he still earned that opportunity for trying his shot investing in $BALD.
1017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your reasons for adopting cryptocurrency? on: August 26, 2023, 04:36:22 PM
Lately majority of people find theirselves within the crypto space, but many of them do not really understand the actual reasons for adopting crypto currency other than to make profit, what are your own reasons for adopting cryptocurrency?
what must be the reason for investing aside from earning or profiting ?
isn't hypocrite to say that we are not here for money?

though we can say that we can use it for something more appropriate but how can we deny the idea that there are forms of making money inside?

but for me the main reason of adopting crypto is that I can have funds away from government , and also I can use some of it to gamble and pays online transactions easily .
Being here for profit is not a bad thing and it will never be. We have our own reasons why we are having courage to invest in anything we think would be profitable. I've seen many people in this forum being so passionate about this blockchain but for sure we all know we won't spend our holdings on a daily basis. Saying how you love this industry's advantages won't make it better. It still has limitations and there's nothing wrong just being practical of it. It would be easy to say you want to encourage other to use crypto as a mode of payment but if you yourself hesitates to do so, simply because you don't want to miss the opportunity to earn profit by holding, that is indeed hypocrissy.

This industry is still in progress of development and by any means we are using it depends on ourselves solely. We could have different reasons and ways of using this blockchain, that's how free we are.
1018  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons Taken from Previous Bull Markets: How Will Your Approach Change? on: August 25, 2023, 10:07:02 PM
People tend to regret not buying once the market price is again at peak. Well, it is a normal response simply because you already saw how high it would become. To change this is to have courage to invest early. Problem only is that investors are only looking on the potential profit and not the part that they would be embracing the risk. With that, they should be ready to endure imarket downfalls no matter what and as we all know, this is the reason why we should invest an amount we can afford 'losing'; an amount we would be okay resting for months or years until satisfaction with profit. Also with DCAs and other market analysis wherein we tend to wait for that 'lowest' which is impossible to determine. Much better to pick a market price entry that would give you enough margin to stretch for market price changes.
1019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Past 3 days what did you brought in the crash? on: August 25, 2023, 09:17:36 PM
In every market crash, I am only pushing my limits on BTC & ETH simply because these coins are having higher chances to recover once the market price stabilizes and once demand again enter the market. You may also choose other coins such as XRP and the likes but I do expect extreme volatility on its end. However  xrp for example is relative to bitcoin's price movement unlike with other altcoins. Choose the ones which are more likely to recover in few days based on the charts. Also, wait for the best discount and never oppose the price movement in order to maximize the potential profit once recovery take place.
1020  Economy / Gambling / Re: My Take on iGaming Promotion Through Social Media on: August 25, 2023, 05:21:59 PM
I think that gambling advertising  on social media is ineffective and very expensive, since gambling is basically prohibited in most social media

      -     Maybe in other countries, yes, but in some other countries like here, social media advertisement is very effective using popular influencers who are well known on social media sites such as Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and TikTok.
In fact, it has been rampant even up until now.

There are a lot of influencers in my country who became rich by endorsing several gambling casinos online, and these influencers don't care if a lot of their followers will get broke in the end because of the casinos they've promoted because they've already paid.
Indeed, in most of the countries, restrictions aren't that with online gambling unlike with landbased ones. Therefore, engaging with social media advertisements would still benefit a gambling platform. Also, they won't spend money for something they do not know about so more likely those gambling sites who does so, have tested and saw the results of ads 'coz they'd be throwing their money if they won't know the negative consequences of it. Also, advertisement in any field doen't need to be too detailed. Recognition from players and potential players would be an enough result of social media engagement thru ads.
