I think something, when we play we have to apply everything we know and what we have learned throughout our financial education, at no time under any type of advice when we read about the economy recommend playing in casinos and trusting in Bitcoin, they only teach operate safely, in the stock market and play little just for fun, this is important,because each person has a concept of games, betting, and it is difficult to get into the head of a novice who has to first see that the casino is not to become a millionaire or ocmo work but Understand that it is a means of Entertainment where you must control.


We need that for sure, every learning that based on our actual experienced will help us to play with full responsibility, it will let us to avoid making huge mistakes in forcing our way to win a lot but more on the side of being entertained and try to win some if luck permits us to take some amount from the house, while if we lose we better to have that limitations, certain amount that can be let go and treat as part of your entertainment.

As there's always a big chance that without proper limitation, you will lose a lot of money, instead of enjoying it will bring a huge amount of stress, especially when you lose a big amount that will affect you financially.

I also feel that, learning based on experience in disorder in controlling myself in gambling will bring maturity and play responsibly that obeys the limits. But indeed in realizing this person needs time, sooner or later in realizing it depends on our knowledge and the environment which is very helpful not to do excessive gambling.
The pleasure in gambling is indeed I admit to eliminating stress, but sometimes people who vent it on gambling will have a negative impact on financial and make us get bigger stress due to losses, hope of that possibility will make us a deeper.
Although we are aware of the awareness of gambling responsibly, someone who has a bad mentality will have a bad output in his decision.
One thing I know for sure is that gambling does not actually eliminate stress, those who gamble solely for the purpose of eliminating stress will always end up with a more stressful filled day, there are more less but yet effective ways of eliminating stress, and two of them is..
1. Taking a nap.
2. Having a cold shower.

Gambling Is never and will never eliminate stress, one might feel relaxed when gambling, but once done, stress will come back, and even more if the person made a good loss in the process of gambling.
Depends because there are really people who do really able to remove out their stress on via doing gambling but talking about realistically or sensibly then its true that this is something that would alleviate more
considering that losing money is never been that a stress-reliever but rather it would really be making things even more worst. There's no fun on losing money and there's no one would be looking for it to be
that interesting.If you are really that sensible then you would really be finding other ways for you to deal with stress.

It might really be looking that no sense but surprisingly there are people who do treat up this way, but well its their money then just let them be on what they do want to do. Gamble responsibly because
outcomes and results would really be depending on how people would be handling themselves in regarding gambling activity. It is really just that important that we should really be that mindful
when it comes limitation or border line because you would really be the ones who could handle on how things do end up.

The optimal path is to learn from someone else, as they can protect you from making a great deal of mistakes which end up costing newbies a massive amount of money.

However finding such a person is incredibly difficult, to begin with you will need someone close to you to be an expert trader, and if that was not difficult enough you will also need for that person to be willing to teach you, which is not common at all as people remember very well how much it cost them to acquire the knowledge they have and they are not willing to part with it for free.
It's obviously difficult to find someone who is willing to teach you all the tips and tricks and the special technical techniques without charging you a dime. In a world like today where people open free groups to teach people trading or give trading signals only to promote their premium groups where people will need to pay money to get so-called VIP signals.

So it's probably better if someone takes the oath to learn everything by themselves by watching videos or reading articles or other resources if they can't afford to pay the fees charged by the mentors.
I did that, I mean I didn't do the teaching, I did the learning part. I met with a friend via crypto, and he helped me learn about it all. I hate learning from videos or from texts, because I can never learn anything about it. But when it comes down to learning from someone? Like actually being able to ask questions to that person when you do not understand something, that is a totally different situation.

With text or video there is no return, I may not understand something and all I can do is read it again or watch it again, but when there is another person then you can ask the question and they will answer you properly, or find another angle to help you. This is why learning from someone is much better if you trust they are actually good.
We know that not all the time we do have a friend that knows about trading and if theres one then there's no assurance that they would really be teaching you from top until into the bottom or surely does have the intent on teaching you everything and we know that it does really require that ample time and effort them to teach up someone who doesnt really have that idea on what really it is.Yes  it is true that on the time that you would really be having some questions then if you do have someone who you could asks to then it would be good to have those kind of realtime interaction whereas you do compare it out when you do learn on your own but we know that not all we do have a friend like that. This is why we dont really have other options but to learn on our own since everything could really be found or searched up on internet and the rest of the learning would really getting from real experience and this is where it would vary whether you would really be handling yourself well or not.

Technical analysis learning is really that needed or really that crucial when it comes to trading because we know that this market isnt really always having the news or fundamental which we could really depend on.
This is why it is really that crucial or needed.
1043  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: May 10, 2023, 11:48:34 PM
Ideally speaking there is high chance that whole table is covered with some amount of money at any given time thus giving higher odds to casino on not losing anything. Why make such huge technology then?

Do you mean technology to cheat?  Obviously, it is to get a huge gain in every game player. Maximizing profit is the name of the game here, I believe.
While this could work for the short term as absurd as it may sound it is not on the best interests of a casino to cheat like this, think about it even if no client ever realized what was going on, this will create a casino in which no one ever wins.

And a casino like that will soon find itself without any clients, as without the success stories which gamblers share with their friends or social media such a casino will fail to gain new clients at the same rate as a legitimate casino, and without new clients a casino like that is destined to fail.
You are absolutely correct mate, and your point is very clear, it is like they say that one does not eat his or her cake and still have it, a casino cheating on its immediate customers are indirectly cheating on themselves too, cus like you said, when gamblers discover that there's never been any significant win from such casino, they will start avoiding the casino for sure, and in the long run, such casino will be left with no customers.

Proves that casinos that always post on their social media accounts, big winnings made from their platform, don't do so for fancy, it's a marketing tool that motivates their immediate customers to keep gambling, and also attract new customer to the casino who would want to try to make similar kind of winning.
It won't take long before any casino that is cheating it customers runs out of business because the fastest way for any business to die down is to take what belongs to its customers there is a saying that goes that if you lose one good customer, you are indirectly losing 10 potential customers.

And same rule applies to casinos or other businesses the only time you can see a casino not paying attention to the feelings of their customer is when there are already set out to scam them, and those kinds of casinos are not hard to noticed and from the mood of operations, you can easily identify them and that is how fast the reputation get dented.
No secrets that could be hidden like forever, if there's a smoke then there's fire on which it might be caught by now but on the right time there would be leaks that a certain company or platform is really cheating out their users and if this issue would blown out then anticipate that it would scatter out like wildfire and there's no way on stopping it and as an owner then you might be able to benefit on making easy money through cheating up users then it would really be an over line for you.

Rigged and unfair casino or platform does exist, it is really just that there's no way for us to verify out if ever we do have those doubts but most of the time these kind of mindset is into those someone who
do just simply likes on looking for someone to blame. This is why even those fair companies would really be able to be included on to that blaming time of those losing gamblers.
Checking on the video then it is quite that obvious though on where the ball do lands and sticks out obviously. We might that able to notice it out but this is the only
time it was elaborated.
1044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: with the high transaction fees btc makes me stronger to hold btc. on: May 10, 2023, 10:48:04 PM
As we all know lately, lots of people are transacting BTC and causing traffic jams because of the many queues for BTC transactions, and BTC transaction fees are expensive if you want to be fast.

And I, as a btc investor who is still a beginner, in my opinion, with expensive btc transaction fees, I see this as a positive thing because I have the following reasons.

1: having expensive btc transaction fees makes me stronger to hold on to btc because I don't want to waste my money on expensive transaction fees.

2: my goal of investing in btc is for a long term investment so with expensive transaction fees
makes me stronger holding btc, because my goal is to invest in btc for the long term.

i want to hear your opinion,,,
and are you freaking out about the high btc transaction fees...?

but in my opinion if transacting btc it would be better to use a cheap transaction method.
You arent a true holder if you are just basing up with high tx fee which would prohibit you on spending up your coins, because a true holder is someone who do able to hold up his coins no matter how small or big the tx fee would be. Its not a solid indication or thing on which you would be saying to yourself as a strong holder just because you cant make out some transactions because fees are too high. Sooner or later when network
congestion or traffic would  come back to normal then what would you do? Are you coming back on making some btc transactions once again because tx fee is already cheap now?
Imho, its not really a solid thing for you to mind on because its never been that an indication that you should hold because of that reasoning.

If you are really that going for long term with Bitcoin then you wont really be seeing these things as a viable reason. Now, i could say that it did really pending out some of my important transactions but it
didnt mean that it is a thing that would discourage me on accumulating even more.
1045  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: May 10, 2023, 09:50:19 PM
Snip

These aspects are often overlooked by many gamblers and also one-time gamblers. By "one-time gamblers," I mean those who only engage in gambling for the sake of having fun from time to time, disregarding the fact that luck is not consistently on their side. Not every day can be like Christmas, and that's why, in all my years of playing, I have never exceeded my predetermined betting budget irrespective of how many winning tickets I may have, I refrain from increasing the amount I allocate for betting. If my usual weekly sportsbook budget is $20, even if all my predictions turn out to be correct, including those with high odds, I ensure that my next stake does not surpass that $20 because over-excitement can make one make a mistake in the next game's pick.

If that's true, you are one of those people who have a very high level of consistency. In fact, to be honest, I didn't do as well as you did in betting sessions. by the way, maybe what you apply to yourself may only apply to a few gamblers. and one of them, you yourself.

By the way, everyone/gambler has his own way and like you do with your gambling. I personally, consider gambling to be a part of fun entertainment, especially football betting. in a week there are many matches that are held, we can choose bets on the team we like. it's just me, the bets I make vary greatly depending on my level of confidence in the team I choose. but that does not mean, I expect consistent wins. it's just that, with the little experience I have. plus, always involve insight when conducting research and analysis. which makes, I dare to speculate to bet with a high bankroll.
We all know and even realize that luck is not always on our side. but to minimize defeat, we can involve the resources we have. for example, knowledge, insight, skills and most importantly, knowing what we do. In principle, winning and losing is common in gambling. however, everything returns to the self-control we have. the same way, as you do.

We know that gambling is really indeed for leisure and its not something that you could really make it as a living on which it would really be that just not the right way on treating it out.
We've seen lots of chances or times on where even on sports betting where upsets could happen on which no matter how in depth your analysis would be but when luck isnt on your side
then you would definitely be having that loss and its not really that shocking at all. NO matter how good you are on sports betting then there's no way that we could be able to avoid losses
because its always been part of the game. You cant really be that so confident that you could really be having that winning state forever.

How much more if we do speak about luck based ones on which risks is much more higher? This is why its really a wrong perception and believes on having that
constant winning does exist. It isnt really gambling after all if we do speak about 100% winning rate which it cant be possible.
1046  Economy / Economics / Re: Deposits-in the bank or in gold? on: May 10, 2023, 08:56:23 PM
Making deposit in bank doesn't nowadays doesn't give any profit, the interest is something next to none. In that o mean the banks are just there to make profit for themselves using depositors money without corresponding returns as profit.

Gold is a good asset to invest in as it doesn't depreciate in value like fiat money. The value of gold in the market keep adding as demand for it arises. One of the great ways to insure your money not to loss value in years to come is for you to invest it in buying gold  instead of depositing your fiat in the bank.

we all know that depositing in a bank is just for safekeeping purposes. you don't expect for the interest earned as it is like dust. but if you avail their other financial services like time deposit and other high-interest services, then maybe you can get something.
so some people are still using traditional banks to secure their funds and not because of the interest. and of course if you want to diversity go for tangible assets like gold. there's nothing wrong in diversification of funds. it will give you better security if anything goes wrong in one of your assets.
either options, it is up to you. what are your goals for your funds, safekeeping, assurance, high interest and others?
Even if you would really be having that time deposit or whatever those offerings but still the % on annual basis isnt something that you could boast on and this is why its never been that ideal nor worth on making
your money stay and stored up on your bank account but instead it would be ideal if things to be applied on an investment which you do know that you could really be able to gain benefit if ever it would be succeeded.
But we know that there are people who cant just able to bare up such risks and this is why they would be deciding on making themselves to store up their fiats on banks and would really be able to have a good sleep.

Oh well, this is a common human being behavior on which there are ones who are risk takers and there are ones who do really love to play on the safer side and wouldnt be bothered on what goes around.
Some would really be sticking into those traditional things no matter what and would really be that close minded on whatever things that they would really be able to see around.
As long they do saw their fiat is on safekeeping then that what matter the most.
1047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How's your gambling experience right now? on: May 09, 2023, 10:48:53 PM
This is why it's important to have more than one asset all the time. Those who have funds in their casino accounts and those who have other cryptocurrencies apart from Bitcoin are not going to face any issues in such a situation. You could easily deposit a different asset to your gambling account and played with that.

I personally don't gamble much, so I can definitely wait for all this to become normal before I gamble if I ever wanted to. Others will obviously use the method that I mentioned above, using different cryptocurrencies for their gambling deposits and withdrawals.

I don't gamble much these days, but I have seen a spike in transaction fees as a result of the Bitcoin mempool congestion. I agree that migrating to another network and transacting with another cryptocurrency asset will be extremely beneficial.
We've seen this scenario before, and we should be prepared to deal with it, especially if we're into gambling and frequently make withdrawal and deposit transactions. The use of other major altcoins will be our way out of this transaction fee battle.
^Definitely right and the reason I always prefer a casino that has an alternative deposit option.
Many other major altcoins offer lower fees and faster transaction times than BTC, which can make them a more viable option for frequent gambling transactions. In fact, if you notice that during high fees of BTC, altcoins will follow too, high fees are not unique to BTC and other cryptocurrencies can experience similar issues during periods of high demand. No chose, either to take a break or use your fiat instead.
If we do play only on a casino or gambling site which does have only that single option which is Bitcoin then we dont have no choice but to wait up until the transaction would confirm but its up to ours
because we could have some options.

1. Dont play and wait for the network to be find
2. Do tend to play on other site with other altcoin option
3. Accepting current bitcoin fees and go loyal with the site you do like

Just like on what others been saying above that most gambling sites now does have multiple deposit choices or options on which it isnt
really just accepting Bitcoin but also in other top ranking altcoins as well which would ease up the current problem that we are facing.
1048  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need signal service on: May 09, 2023, 09:59:25 PM
Why not work out your own analysis instead of relying on signal services that are 90% fake and have no results, there are a lot of trading signal groups on telegram but I won't advise any one to risk their money following those trading signals.
I understood why the Op is in need of signals, a lot of people are very busy with work or some other things that are keeping them busy and just need a reliable signal group, but the case here is that you rarely find a legit signal group, I have someone that has made a lot of money just from trading someone's signal, but subscribed with huge amount of money to get those signals. however I do think that the op still need some basic knowledge about trading to properly trade those signals when instructions are given out to trade.
I think that is not a good enough reason to just ask for signals, if you do not have time to learn how to trade and do it that way, then you shouldn't really do it at all. Just because you lack the time, asking for signal means that you want to quickly lose your money instead of spending time on learning it. I understand that some people may not have too much time, I do not have much neither, and I totally understand it, but that doesn't mean that asking for it makes any sense, it just doesn't make any sense at all.

You should end up doing whatever you can in order to just learn it, and if you can't then do not do it at all. Signal is not the alternative, it is the bad version and it will make you lose money over course of a period of time, it just doesn't make sense.
Its never been good on the first place because you would really be that prone into lots of errors and the worst you might get scammed if you do join on the wrong one and this is why we should really be that careful
because there are lots of people who would really take advantage into those noobs around. You wouldnt really need those signals and dont really have that kind of rushed in on learning trading because this would really be just ending on a disaster. You should be the one who would really be needing to find out your trading strategy and its been worth on doing so rather than on making yourself than on looking for some other sources.
We should think that all of us is really that just that speculators on here, there's no man on this world that would be having that kind of precise predictions about this speculative market.
We are just that on the same situation where price is really that random and really that too unpredictable and there's no way that someone do claim that they do have
profitable trades which its better not to believe easily with those claims.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer Original Slots or slots from 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 09, 2023, 08:59:18 PM
This goes out to all the Slot players out there.....

A lot of casinos have their own original Slots that are unique to their casino, most of these consist of a variation of old games with a personal twist from that casino. (Example : Crash - Different themes like planes / stock market / athlete running etc..)

Then you get 3rd party Slot providers like Pragmatic / Hacksaw Gaming etc.. that provides Slot games to casinos.

My question is this, which one of the two do you prefer and why do you like it more than the other. (Original vs 3rd Party Slots)

Let's discuss ....  Wink
Could switch up in between but most of the time i would really be sticking with those known providers which does have different themes on their slots too. In comparison with RTP's then i dont mind much though on whats their differences.Also it would really be depending or varying on my mood because there are indeed slots who could be able to caught up my attention via just looking those designs or whatsoever.If i do find out to be
interesting then i do just simply dive in and play. Overall when it comes to slot gaming then im not really that much serious about on winning but i would prefer on having  those small winnings on every other roll
than on keeps on losing on each roll and less chances on hitting  up some reels.

It does really matter on your preference though because not all gambler would be having on the same taste when it comes to slots but with having that saturated market about slots then
it would be no shocking that we might be having the same choice most of the time. There are known providers which most people been diving in.
1050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Bitcoin in Student Life on: May 09, 2023, 07:58:47 PM
Investing in bitcoin offers better returns than depositing money in a bank. But as you said, investment is profit or loss, everything is risky, and bitcoin is no exception. I advocate when you invest in bitcoin, but remember one thing, only invest as much as you can afford to lose, and diversifying your portfolio is essential. Don't focus on just one asset, as the future is unpredictable.

Aside from the bitcoin investment, I think it's important for you now to have some savings. You probably won't need it now, but you may need it in the future for emergencies. Because your bitcoin investment doesn't always give a positive return, there will come a time when our portfolio loses, and we won't want to use it.
I suggest you focus first on your studies more than investing. Investing may be good and profitable but only for those who have high experiences in an investment. However, if you really want to invest, just invest a small amount so that if your investment does not work out, at least you will never face financial problems. And always be open for some losses, as bitcoin investment for newbies is mostly into losing than making profits.

I agree, as a student, learning is more important than investment. But if we can arrange a time to work part-time or find other sources of income, such as investment, that is also a good thing. I mean, getting experience early gives us more advantages after graduation. But make sure that part-time jobs and investments will not affect your studies, you can invest.

Investing is for everyone, as long as anyone can take the risk and knows what they're doing with their money, they can invest. You cannot say that investing is only for experienced people. At first, you are just a newbie, and to have the experience, you need to experience it.
But having both on early wouldnt really be that a bad idea as well as long you do know on what you are doing and you do have those kind of targets even if you are just a student then it might do but it wouldnt really be that simple since you arent that someone who do generate some income to support that kind of plan specially on buying or investing into something or in Bitcoin. This what makes even more challenging, initial steps are needing to be taken because if you wont really be making such move then it would really be giving you no progress. Plans wont be materialize if you wont really be making acts. When you are still a student then making out some investment acts or movement isnt something that would be simple since resources would really be not that possible since we are still dependent from our parents which it would be hard to make a first step. Somewhat there are some people who are really that eager on learning up things and making involvement which if it turns out positive then it would be giving out good results which
it is really that main advantage.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 08, 2023, 11:57:48 PM

Some people do that to escape the feeling if being guilty in their own negligence and mostly they blane the casino as rigged one since they want to create situation maybe a part of revenge that they are scam and each result is manipulated that's why they lose.  Not everyone can easily handle the situation and good for people who can accept immediately on what they are receiving and try to become more better on next time around.
Actually, it is a defense mechanism. In order for a person not to be felt accountable or if don't want to be responsible for his or her losses he will blame other people or some other things just to make himself feel better and comfortable. We should be the one who will be accountable for everything that we are doing especially when we are betting and when we lose too much because of our greed then we should not point it to other people or to the current scenario we are facing.
I agree with you. There are many gamblers who blame others as a way of comforting themselves after losing. Such a trend is seen among many gamblers. As the number of such gamblers is high, they are more or less everywhere.They cannot bear that defeat alone. A gambler should welcome win or lose. Gambling by blaming others can't guarantee a win so why blame others? There is a lack of awareness among those who practice such behavior. If you can't win by blaming others, what's the advantage?
Pointing out your fingers into someone is totally insensible or something which does have no point. What if you do blame up someone because of your losses? Are you taking back those things or just simply trying out to ease the pain and emotion or rage that you do feel inside? It is really a typical but in the sense that there's no way on taking back things up once again which means there's no point on doing so.
You would really be just creating some possible ruckus or trouble around.On the time that you would be pointing out fingers then whats next?

In regarding on the situation which had been stated on OP, then its impossible that there's someone who could have the access of their card.Once there is really some unrecognized or unauthorize transactions
whether on your bank account or credit or debit/card then it would be definitely be sending out those alerts which the situation wont really become that worst or would be having that
huge spending or slice of the money they do have. I cant really just believe such story imho.
Yep it's insensible as if they are the cause of how you lose on your gambling session. I'm guessing that they are just steaming out the anger and frustrations they have inside to reduce the pain of losing such money but yeah it's not a right way of blowing steam on someone especially if they didn't do anything to cause the losses. It also just make the situation worst and I don't think that doing it is right at the first place. If you can't manage your loses, Asses yourself first on how did you end up on that point and reflect. Blaming other don't really do anything good.
If its just for the sake of steaming out your anger and frustration then it isnt the right way on doing so on which you would blame out someone on the mistakes that you have done which it doesnt really make no sense.
There's no one who should really be blamed out into your condition but only into yourself.It isnt really just right to make out some argumentation or quarrels into someone basing on what you have done.
Its your action then it is really that there's no one should really be blamed on but you. In speaking about easing out the pain or the anger then there's lots of options for you to take. You could
really pull out yourself into that gambling session and call it a day without having any words to say and as much as possible it would be ideal that you should really be that avoiding other people discussion
because most likely you would really that get irritated on the time that you would be facing up someone. So its better to avoid rather than on starting up some possible conflicts which i dont really
like for it to happen.
1052  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halving effects, how long they will last? on: May 08, 2023, 11:18:46 PM
Every 4 years, we expect bull market just because of halving. What do you think when is this chain is going to broken? Ie, halving no longer equals that bull market is coming.
No one knows when the Bitcoin halving chain will "break" or no longer affect the upcoming bull market. Halvings are a fundamental part of Bitcoin and can affect the bullish price outlook as they affect the limited supply of Bitcoin. But indeed there are many other factors that can also affect the movement of Bitcoin prices as a whole. Nonetheless, investors investing in Bitcoin should stay up to date with market developments and conduct careful research to understand the fundamental factors that affect the price of Bitcoin.

In addition, it is important not to rely too much on a single factor such as halving in making investment decisions. Of course, being positive about a potential future bull market is a good thing. Ultimately, the price of Bitcoin depends on the trust and confidence of Bitcoin investors and users. As long as there is trust and confidence in Bitcoin as an asset and reserve currency, then the price of Bitcoin can remain positive.

I also believe that one day this will be broken, the market will change, and new history will be made because the market cannot repeat itself so easily, everyone can predict. You are right, the halving is very important and can be considered the most important factor in the past bitcoin bulls. But it is not the only factor driving the rise of bitcoin. So if history is broken, what we need to do is keep our faith, and stand our ground on bitcoin, then there is nothing to worry about. For me, the value of an asset will depend entirely on supply and demand, as long as the demand for bitcoin keeps increasing even without the halving, the price of bitcoin will always increase over time.
Market couldnt really be just having that one way or path to take on which we might be seeing that it is really that decreasing but there would really be a day or time comes that there would really be a change trend.
It might not be happening for this year but we cant be sure if it wont be happening on the next one into another. We cant really be just staying up this low on which it would really be that understandable that market
couldnt really be just having a single point or path to take.This is why its better to be wise on taking up some action on which you should really be positioning yourself while the market is still bearish
or simply the bull run isnt kicking in.

Now we do have recent problem about huge network congestion which it would really be the main problem about scability. For sure this would really be an another focus on raising up some issue about
Bitcoin. Halving event is fast approaching and we cant really be so sure on how the market would really be reacting into this one.

Some people do that to escape the feeling if being guilty in their own negligence and mostly they blane the casino as rigged one since they want to create situation maybe a part of revenge that they are scam and each result is manipulated that's why they lose.  Not everyone can easily handle the situation and good for people who can accept immediately on what they are receiving and try to become more better on next time around.
Actually, it is a defense mechanism. In order for a person not to be felt accountable or if don't want to be responsible for his or her losses he will blame other people or some other things just to make himself feel better and comfortable. We should be the one who will be accountable for everything that we are doing especially when we are betting and when we lose too much because of our greed then we should not point it to other people or to the current scenario we are facing.
I agree with you. There are many gamblers who blame others as a way of comforting themselves after losing. Such a trend is seen among many gamblers. As the number of such gamblers is high, they are more or less everywhere.They cannot bear that defeat alone. A gambler should welcome win or lose. Gambling by blaming others can't guarantee a win so why blame others? There is a lack of awareness among those who practice such behavior. If you can't win by blaming others, what's the advantage?
Pointing out your fingers into someone is totally insensible or something which does have no point. What if you do blame up someone because of your losses? Are you taking back those things or just simply trying out to ease the pain and emotion or rage that you do feel inside? It is really a typical but in the sense that there's no way on taking back things up once again which means there's no point on doing so.
You would really be just creating some possible ruckus or trouble around.On the time that you would be pointing out fingers then whats next?

In regarding on the situation which had been stated on OP, then its impossible that there's someone who could have the access of their card.Once there is really some unrecognized or unauthorize transactions
whether on your bank account or credit or debit/card then it would be definitely be sending out those alerts which the situation wont really become that worst or would be having that
huge spending or slice of the money they do have. I cant really just believe such story imho.
1054  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lets Brain storm on how to limit losses... on: May 08, 2023, 08:58:23 PM
Many will say it’s greed but the largest losses for almost all traders is going to be revenge trading and we have all been there.

You know how it is. You lose a little and then went to trade until break even. Then you lose some more so you take more trades with higher positions and these trades basically make no sense in technical analysis and you are pretty  much guessing at this point and eventually you go bust. Happens to every trader.
I must say revenge trading happens only to those who are greedy. Because if not, then they will just call it a day and just come back to trading when there is enough capital and whenever the market is perfect to trade. But I completely believe that all traders experienced this revenge trading. Because we don’t want to keep on losing and used up all our funds, so we start to do some revenge trading hoping we can easily recover our losses, but it seems it only lead us to losing a lot more until we end up in a very worst situation.
Yeah, he didn't realize that both are still the same. If we are not greedy, we will stick on our limits so we still have something left to trade the next day and so on. I don't think this is called a revenge trading but it's just another trading session. Trading must be done like this so that we can be able to trade often and expect earning some profits. About capital, we must only use the money that we can afford to lose.

We must not took a loan or sell our valuable stuff. If greed unexpectedly happens and we drain all of our money, then just accept the mistake and move on. All experienced it even once or twice but that's normal because we are just humans.
SL's or limiting your losses is really indeed crucial thing not only on trading but simply or into investment itself on which you should really know on when to set those losing limits rather than on losing all of your assets.
We know that it cant really just that possible that we could be able to predict on whats the future on which it would really be not that shocking if ever we do really miss out some opportunity out of those positions that we have set earlier.This is why as a trader or investor then setting out your risks management is really that important because if you wont then you would really be that shocked on something that unexpected to happen.
We do know that we cant really be having that huge capital or something that we could make use neither on trading or investment which it is really just that sensible that we should really be setting out something
like this or else you would really be seeing your entire bankroll would be blown up in shortest time as possible. Risks management and handling it would really be that important and
really that most crucial.
1055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Experienced Winning Bets By Upsets on: May 06, 2023, 07:58:20 PM
Upsets are rare and profitable and not everyone has the courage to take a risk and bet on the underdogs, but those who do are rewarded with huge profits.

So I'd like to ask

Have you bet on the underdogs and won?

How many times you did this?

And what made you bet on the underdogs is it because of insider tips or just an insight based on your analysis?

Your level of risk when betting for underdogs in the hope of winning by upsets?

1. Based up on my experience then i had made up some bet on underdogs but one thing is that notable on which it is really on esports betting on Dota 2.
2. Cant remember the exact numbers but this one would be more than 10 bets on choosing up underdogs.
3. Some gut feeling, intuition and of course there's some analysis but most of the time this would be pertaining about guts.
4. Not putting up that much unless if i did have that confidence that there's some upset, if i do see that there's a huge chance then bet amount would really be depending
    on that particular moment.

When it comes to upsets then im not really that expecting that much because there's always a chance that i could really see that it might happen but most of them do flop out but well
i did expect about on the risks because going against the favorites or moneyline is really just that not ideal, this is why its your take about on
betting with those underdogs.
1056  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin network fee´s insanly high at the moment! on: May 04, 2023, 04:27:03 PM
The Bitcoin network transaction fees are currently at the highest in nearly three years since July 2021. This indicates that there's a strong demand for the Bitcoin blockchain network.

Last weeks have been a bit crazy, with insane fees one day and very low fees another day. I use Exodus and Blockchain I also got a wallet at Noones (old Paxful)
If i want to send $100 from Exodus its $30 in fees. almost the same at Blockchain a bit lower i think around $20.
But if i want to send from Noones it only cost $0.50. Why is this?

I know Noones just open their business and what to attract customers. But if they are available to have that low fees why is not Exodus or Blockchain?
With fees like this its not worth to use bitcoin as payment method at all.

Do you guys/girls think this will stabilize soon or will we see more like this, with normal fee´s one day and extremely high the next day?
And this is where LN kicks in on which it would be having that less fees, but i dont know if its already been that integrated on some business as this thing is still on test phase?
I cant really be that so sure but recently i had just seen out that there are some platforms who do really accept LN payments which means that it is really that possible
that you could make use of it in terms of your business option payment.

When making up some transactions then i do usually peek on https://mempool.space/ and trying out to see on whats the current sat/byte is on priority
and which is really that on the middle but of course it would be suddenly changing and depending or basing on how congested the network is.
It would be just that understandable that miners would really be prioritizing into those people or users who do willing to pay more fees.
1057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 04, 2023, 03:58:37 PM
I think it's a bit strange when the family doesn't know, because a gambler will definitely show unusual behavior, such as their money running out quickly or other things related to money. For me personally, from there, questions started to arise, why did his money run out so quickly, for example, and that could be the start of following up on what he was actually doing. I don't think it's possible for a gambling addict not to exhibit unusual habits, especially in financial terms.
Not everyone can be open with other people even though it is their own family, if a gambling addict is a closed person then it is impossible for his family to know how financial he has so it is difficult to find out.
On the other hand, I believe not many people want to tell or show their finances because this stage is a privacy that is so guarded.
Yes, it is clear that gambling activities and addiction can be shown when someone holds a cellphone or uses a PC all the time while gambling because a gambling addict can spend a very long time using a cellphone or PC for them to play.
Indeed, in this case, not everyone can be open, but when they are still living with their parents, in fact, if the parents really care about the child's unnatural behavior, it can actually be seen under any circumstances.
Unless the parents don't really care. But indeed in this case, especially from the point of view of the parents who have indeed freed this, maybe this is one of the reasons because in this case, when we as children are adults, there will definitely be privacy, which of course must be maintained.

Well, if someone is observant and very much close to each of the family members, there's a high chance that he will notice the sudden changes about the person involved in gambling, especially if that particular person is addicted to gambling already. There will be signs that the person is having difficulties in money or sudden transition in habits and behaviors. Sometimes, those who are addicted develop attitude problem. Temperament becomes an issue, the aggressiveness in making money or begging for money becomes evident.

But if family members tolerate such acts without confronting, there's a low chance addiction will be prevented to further continue and grow. Privacy is essential, but checking the family members, especially if it's children involved, there should be an open communication.
Easy to notice out with those behaviors but not all the time,considering that there are indeed family members which are really that good when it comes on hiding on what they are currently dealing with, on which
you cant really be able to determine if someone is really that getting that addicted on slowly manner and this is where we should really be needing having that open forum in between members just like in our family on where our parents is really been setting out time for this kind of thing. Yes, it might not really be that not be seen into others but i could say that this is somewhat that effective and able to handle or monitor
our on each family members on what they've been through or been dealing off recently. This is why this do really have that kind of importance on knowing something about each members.
1058  Economy / Economics / Re: Look for what to invest, not what to eat on: May 04, 2023, 02:29:52 PM
I don't know why some people in this platform are looking for what to eat at the moment, not know that they can invest in a potential projects that will put food on their table, and they will not lack what to eat and what to spend in future. I saw some message in the Bitcointalk.org where some users are trying to sell their account just to get what to eat not knowing that they can use that account to work to get a huge capital that will bring them out from poverty, and make food surplus in their home. I knew some senior members in this forum that started using member rank to work before they get to legendary to spread many investments around the country, because they didn't look for what to eat at the moment than to work hard to used their opportunities to invested in BTC before they became who they are today.
Will you invest now or you will be like that person that is looking for what to eat? It will be favourable if you can change that attitude of selling what will make you great in future just because of what will survive you at the moment. No way you will invest in BTC today and you will not have something good to eat because, investment is like a seed planted in a due season to expect something good in the future. Is it a good thing to invest or is good to continue looking for what to eat?
What do you think.
Just focusing out on account sales and doesnt mind about that potential earnings through campaigns and other possible jobs that they could get on this forum which it is really true that you could really be able to earn but of course it would really be depending on the account rank you do have because not all would really be able to get that good income plus not all people are really that making signature campaigns as a stable
job.This is why it wouldnt really be wise if you do consider sigcamps to be the reason on putting up food on your table this is why it would really be better not to mind up this way.
It isnt a right but rather a priveledge which is something not all would really be have the chance to be chosen.

Its true that we do need to make out some sacrifices in life for us to have a better future via investment but it would really be still varying or depending on what investment you've been dealing with
because not all investment turns out to be positive and this is why we should really be that careful on what we should  really be choosing up. Invest on what you can afford to lose
and its always better to have a day job and making out signature campaigns and other forum jobs to be your sideline on which this would be the best choice
to make.
1059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 04, 2023, 03:57:42 AM
Did make out some search and speaking about just on a gap or span of 1 year which is on 2022-2023.

The global gambling market grew from $449.04 billion in 2022 to $702.45 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 56.4%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.
Source

This had published last January 2023 so numbers wont really be that precise now as if we are already on month of May but if we do really look
about those numbers and making out some comparison then we could really tell that there's really some huge movement about its recognition
and demand which means that gambler numbers comes even more higher as years passing.

How about online gambling? If its one includes fiat then its still good, how much more on crypto space? The numbers would even more getting bigger.
1060  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving is Wasting? on: May 04, 2023, 02:57:34 AM
Saving doesn't only mean you hold your money in the bank. You can save money in any other places, including at home. You just don't spend them and don't invest in anything not highly liquid, and in case of OP not stable. In case of OP it is to have some stash for unexpected expenses.

Of course it is good to have some amount just in case, but if to save money for it involves present cuts in important and necessary expenditures, it is a waste, because if you really need something your needs won't disappear and inflation can cut part of your savings. Moreover some needs can demand more investment with time. So it is important to manage your finance wisely and not to be too obsessed with saving.

Saving cash at home is not recommended, especially when you won't earn any interest rates. How would you offset the negative effects of inflation if your money remains static? That's where savings accounts, Certificates of Deposit, and IRAs come in (banks). Or you can choose Bitcoin and Gold to save money if you don't mind about the risks.

I understand not many people will be able to save money this time due to the high cost of living. Only those with "spare money to lose" will be able to do it. The decision is entirely up to you. As long as you don't spend more than what you earn, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts Grin
Its not actually bad as long it would really be just that sufficient on your day to day expenses because there are really things which could happen unexpectedly which means that if you dont have cash just because you had put it up on investment which you cant pull off those money instantly, then what would you gonna do? You would definitely be fucked up on that particular time and ending up on getting some loan just because you dont have enough cash on your pocket. It is really that that insensible on taking such action on storing huge cash on your own house and it would be rather be better to put up on banks but since we do have different perspective when it comes to bank storing and investment then it would really be basing up on someones choice and preference. Saving on having on banks arent bad either as long you do have some
several investment or source of income then this is where we should really be that prioritizing or would be focusing because this is where we could potentially earn.
