I am just curious about how does online casino pay for their promotion on their influencers? Where does their earning comes from? How will you get scammed when you try online casino? How can you tell that online casino is safe?

Thats a lot of question to answer but again the all of the answers are here in the forum, you can find reliable source of information here and you can see a lot of members mostly those high ranks will say their unbiased reviews here because when yo search in goog for sure you'll see a lot of fake reviews and you'll end up getting scammed. You can ask search for a specific casino here for sure you'll find it and see the reviews , mostly they have  ANN thread here.

We do have our own strategies or pre game rituals that we though it can boost our luck like the auto spin in slots which i do agree and i dont really use auto spin and that is my preference and also I've enjoy hitting the button though. It doesn't matter if it is just a myth or we do have bases on it as long as we just thought that it makes us lucky then give us a go. I dont have really strategies in gambling , i just stick on playing it for entertainment though but for lottery i do have like calculation and etc.

This is like how to control the people, i know the outcome it good but you kind of controlling people and most of people dont have privacy on this because you have been monitored all over the world. There must be hidden agenda on this for sure but if we think about the outcome it is good as for sure people in their country wants to climb up in rankings, what i am imagining is how is the poor people can get scores mean how they can climb up
1484  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: IS IT SAFE TO INVEST PENSION FUNDS IN BITCOIN? on: April 28, 2023, 06:49:30 AM
If the pension funds have no use, then so be it, invest it with something else. If Bitcoin is your friends pick, then go for it. Tell him don't go looking for high returns in a short manner of time. If he is dying then he should probably just use it to enjoy life, but if he has other plans like giving this investment to his grandchild then it could be a good way for inheritance.
It's not easy finding investments with high returns than has no high risk. Most of them are scams so forget about looking for those.

But that doesn't mean that he should invest all of his pensions , just a percentage of it because you are already old that time and for sure you need medicine , foods and ETC to keep you alive and enjoy life. Just treat it as an hobby because most of those old people I've noticed they will make a hobby that they will enjoy because that is the time to enjoy your self and stop focusing on earning money but that investment is good for you and for your family.
1485  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Beginner mistakes and how to avoid them on: April 28, 2023, 04:28:53 AM
The reason beginners make mistakes is that they get too excited about anything.Their motivation to earn money is very high.  But they don't know that there are many strategies to be adopted in trading.Newbies actually treat trading like gambling, they think they can make more profit with less investment.  They don't focus on trading portfolios. Everything is just for money, not for experience.However, it is very common for beginners to make mistakes in cryptocurrency.  At first we also made many mistakes, but later we learned and gained experience.

One also of the common mistake was they are hastily learn trading like in just one night and will jump to trading immediately without any strategy. They are very greedy to gain profit immediately and not knowing the fundamentals of it that is why others a losing a lot and will then quit as they cant take it that they are losing. That is why patience and be knowledgeable on something so that you'll be successful
1486  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: April 28, 2023, 03:32:56 AM
This is actually a topic that a good friend and I will discuss (often when one of us has hours to drive being on business or whatever) from time to time.  The main reason that people stay poor is because when growing up poor people are often uneducated (there's always exceptions !!!!) and they don't realize that there are outlets out there to help themselves.  Social welfare type services that many governments offer.  So the issue is often about uneducated people that keep having children in poverty stricken circumstances and the cycle of unawareness, bad habit's and living poor continue on, with someone getting out here and there, but typically not that often.
Its basically the mindset like lazy enough to continue to go to school, prefer to be relax than busy and other factors like you said keeps having a children even it is difficult. I know also there are parts of government that can help you with your school but trust me its difficult but still they are very helpful but still not all can avail this but again if you are just eager to finish your school you will get a job while going yo school to just supply your neede money for school and for yourself
1487  Economy / Economics / Re: using credit card on: April 28, 2023, 02:16:47 AM
i am studying in college, i was really excited to get my first credit card Wink. i thought it will give me a sense of independence and allow me to buy things i could not afford with cash.

though, i quickly learned that credit cards can be a double edged sword. while they can be helpful in building credit, they can also lead to debt and financial trouble if not used responsibly.

at first, i used my credit card reasonably, only for like emergencies or small purchases that i knew i could pay off in full each month. but as time went on, i began using it more and more for larger purchases and impulse buys, without really thinking about how i would pay the balance off.

before i knew it, my credit card balance had  blown up to several thousand dollars, and i was struggling to make the minimum payments each month. the interest charges alone were eating up a significant portion of my income, and i felt like i was going under debt.

it was not until i sat down and made a budget that i realized just how much my credit card debt was affecting my overall financial health. i had to make some tough choices and cut back on some of my expenses , but finally,
i was able to pay off the balance and get back on track.

the lesson that i learned here is that credit cards can be a valuable tool for building credit points/scores and making purchases, but they should be used responsibly and with caution. it is important to keep track of your spending(like keeping a journal), pay off the balance in full, each month if possible, and avoid carrying a balance that will increase interest over time. by being mindful of your credit card usage, you can avoid debt and maintain your financial health.

i am weak at economy, is it wise decision to use credit card?
You should not use credit card unless you have the money which you're going to spend in your bank account in worst case you know the sources of income will get you that amount before the due date.

If someone use credit card in this way then it's good for them because it will help you to build your credit line so get loans for less interest rate for example while doing business,etc and also enjoy the free perks comes along with credit card for example free lounge at airports, free hotel stay, etc.

so that is really a point of credit card to to take a loan with less interest and easily got the a loan i would prefer this than using it to spend on something that later on youll pay it, i mean even you cant afford it you can still buy it and pay it in installments which my view is that it isnt good idea because why purchase it if you cant afford it in cash mostly this are wants and not the needs in our life.
1488  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Being drunk while trading what was your experience on: April 27, 2023, 04:07:45 PM

Yes it's true that some people are chronic addicts who can easily control any volume of alcohol they consumed along the line at a time can walk and work perfectly fine without anyone noticing it. Although initially I didn't know he was only monitoring his trade with  the smartphone, while I thought he was trading, I tried confirming from him the next time we met again and he said wasn't really deep into trading that very day he was monitoring rather.

There are several phases during which alcoholics are still able to control themselves and their brains, but to a certain extent they will lose their minds and will influence their decisions. Trading while drunk is ridiculous, but they can still trade while feeling sober or relaxed. Of course there are some traders who trade while drunk, but the drunk phase is not to lose their minds. I mean they can still control everything, including being able to trade.

Its the tipsy stage where you can still know everything, can think well, can decide well and can walk well which this kind of phase for sure they can still manage their emotions and decision making. Sometimes i do have a one bottle of beer when i do trade just to relax and chill but when it comes to like coming from a party and drunk , i wont be doing this as for sure this will be a huge problem and losses for me. That is why others dont really install the trading app on their phone and going to party because sometimes we cant control our ego and we will be boasting it to others.
1489  Economy / Economics / Re: Look for what to invest, not what to eat on: April 27, 2023, 01:38:51 PM
Food is a staple for humans. So it's natural for someone to want and buy good food. But we shouldn't be too extravagant either. Investing can also meet the needs of life. Investment returns can also be for food, costs and others. So both are equally important.

But you should also prioritize things like don't focus on one as it is not good like if you only focus on investing for sure you'll have nothing to it, and if you focus on food then for sure you don't have savings, but still this depends on the situation that is why you should balance everything like while focusing on earning so that we have food on our plate we should also save or allot for our investments as again it can brought to us profit.
1490  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: April 27, 2023, 12:01:00 PM
Buy and store and keep it coming. Soon, you will find yourself in a good position. IMO, that's the best way of investing for now and it's the safest route.
Maybe you just lack faith in Bitcoin for now because you have not been to a time when it was super cheap. Many of us do regret selling our Bitcoin early because we also lack faith. We didn't know it could go this far and we just kept on selling our Bitcoin whenever there was a chance.
Now all I can do is get over it, try to correct the mistakes, accumulate Bitcoin, buy it if there's a chance then keep it in a safer place. It's also best if the place you are storing it is somewhere you cannot access as quick as you could, just to avoid panic selling.

All of us regret it but on the 2nd though if you haven't sold it for sure you arent able to purchase those things before so still it is a good move for us, even my self if i haven't sell it of for sure i would be a millionaire but again i don't regret selling it off as I've enjoyed it and I've experience what is life, also we hold right now as for sure we learned before that selling it is not a good idea so that we can achieve what we want in bitcoin
1491  Economy / Economics / Re: Would You Consider Adding Bitcoin to Your Retirement Savings on: April 27, 2023, 09:59:10 AM
Yeah, a portion of my retirement funds. At such a stage you can't afford to be reckless, despite the trust btc has been able to achieve over the years there is still some level of risk,
If you are retired it means there is no other steady way to generate monthly income except you are able to invest your retirement fund wisely so you don't fall flat on your ass being careless.
So yeah, a small portion will be in btc and the rest will be in other investments that are less risky.
I would also love to invest a part of my retirement funds into bitcoin, maybe 25%-30% is reasonable enough. After all, it won’t matter as to how big you invest in it, it will eventually turns into a big investment if it’s value will grow consistently with the years passing by. The important thing here is you’re capable enough on how to handle a highly volatile and risky investment that could eventually create a life changing experience in your whole life. Well, all investments have its own risks, be it traditional or not, that’s why we have to invest with caution especially if those funds were our hard-earned from the start.

Also, you are old enough at that time, so it is a precious gift for your grandchildren or your family. It is really a good choice as long as you still have money left on it to spend in the future. For sure, this will be the trend or what people who are into bitcoin will be doing, as it is a good investment, though you should know the risk if you are just new to it and just jump because of the hype.
1492  Economy / Gambling / Re: justbit.io asking me for KYC although their site explicitly states no KYC on: April 27, 2023, 08:19:38 AM
These casinos are a centralized businesses under the regulatory policies of the government and have no option but to act as directed in order to keep up with a smooth business environment. You may be told in your initials that there's no KYC requirements but that's to a certain limit which they won't obvious make known to you. And that's why it advised to check T&C's of any casino you're registering with. Apart from KYC, get to know their deposit and withdrawal limit policy, and others before jumping in.
Don't go blindly and late come up with tantrum about the aftermath of the whole thing which is partly a fault from you the user too.
The casino is centralized, that is true, but is that the reason the casino should be lying? Or probably you did not understand what the gambler is talking about. Just click on the site and you will see it in front of their site boldly written that KYC is not mandatory, but if you read their terms and conditions, you will see how they make KYC mandatory. Which means the site owners know that there are some gamblers that will register because they said no KYC, but the gamblers will later know if they want to withdraw that KYC is mandatory. That is like scam, the casino owners are liars.

Most of the banners right now you can see is misleading that is why it is better to check their ToS because for sure those banner are just for attraction only, I've read somewhere that they will say No KYC buy TC applies meaning there will be no KYC on registering or on playing games but when you are about to withdraw that is the time they will ask so they tend to do this so that they can attract new customers but later found out it has KYC.
1493  Economy / Economics / Re: SPENDING MORE THAN YOU EARN on: April 27, 2023, 06:26:08 AM

👉👉Shopping with a list
This is a lifesaver and a game changer. It’s so simple! Literally, all you have to do is write down what you need in the house that week. Make the list, and stick to it. If you only need to get chicken and vegetables and some pasta at the house for the week, there’s no reason for you to be going to the snack food section. It’s a trap!


I came from a poor family we really always do this since we only have budget for this food and we shouldn't exceed on it because if we do we will got short on other things , this only applies if you really on tight budget but when I've got a family i do always prioritize our food so that we can eat healthy and delicious food that is why whenever i do have extra on my salary I put it in food to buy so that we can purchase more and meaning of that it will take more days before we will buy again.
1494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What a physical Bitcoin could look like? on: April 27, 2023, 05:25:54 AM
Making a physical Bitcoin will not serve its purpose it would be the same with physical fiat, no matter how printed it is or if it would be coin it wouldn't be the same Bitcoin for sure as the one controlling it is those who printed it. Though lets just say that it will be a physical one it would be for sure a coin the same with those  collectible items as it a coin. There are couple peoples making a coin with Bitcoin logo which for display purposes and it is cool to see but it has no value
1495  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there any point to start trading with 20$? on: April 27, 2023, 03:35:16 AM
Twenty dollars is an adequate amount to learn how to trade. Yes, the profit will be ridiculous, but the losses will be very insignificant. The main thing is to develop in yourself assiduity and patience, which will be very useful in the future. Another plus - you can work out the different trading schemes, and find your best strategy.

This is some sort of testing the waters on trading because most of people say that you cant feel the adrenaline rush in trading if you are just using demo but when you use your own money that is really different that is why others tend to deposit small amount just to test the feeling in trading which for sure you can learn a lot from it, the profits are low but you are not after with that the experience and what is the feeling per trade before you will deposit huge amount
1496  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing Addiction. on: April 27, 2023, 02:20:02 AM
I never seen people that got addicted to investing but if there is one for sure he will get rich because there will be time that his investment will got a lot of profit, this isnt also comparable to gambling as it is only about spending and if you will win there are only small chance on it whereas on investment you'll always have a high chance to gain profit. It doesn't matter if youll spending a lot on your investment since for sure it will get back to you
1497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: April 27, 2023, 01:24:13 AM

1498  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You Learn More from Losses than from Wins on: April 26, 2023, 04:08:50 PM
In my opinion, we cannot gain experience without facing losses, obstacles and tough moments. However, it is really important to learn from your own mistakes otherwise you will repeat them. In addition to that, the more you gain experience, the less you make mistakes and face losses. And if you are beginner in trading field, you will possibly lose a money at the beginning even when you have enough knowledge. As far I am concerned it is better to start with a low capital to get away the risk of loss and once you gain experience you can add or boost your capital.
Adding to your opinion,it is important to know that only experience does not guaranteed success in trading,there are so many factors that can determine whether one will be successful in trading or not,and the very first one is that you must always make some possible research before venturing out, entering into the field of trading.It is important to have at the back of your mind that trading is not a guarantee to financial success because of the risk involved.The second thing to look out to is a very good strategy.The strategy you use determines the rate of your success,it also determines your fate,whether you will lose or gain. And lastly is the experience you've got in the trading filed.

Experience doesn't guarantee winning but it can also boost your winning percentage, you can easily predict the price because of its movements as you've almost already seen it before but again those two types of things are a must in trading to be successful and have an experience on it you are kind of feeling on where the market goes. Though again loses is loses but don't waste them just because you lose, learn from them and reflect on them so that those loses turn in to learning.
1499  Economy / Economics / Re: Look for what to invest, not what to eat on: April 26, 2023, 02:34:41 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.

Which of the project are you referring to here, if it's bitcoin then it's a good idea for them to invest, but also consider that all fingers are not equal, some wish they could invest but don't have the ability to do so, to eat has become a difficult task for some people because of the situation they found themselves, to me i think a hungry man that has not eaten anything for the day will prefer eating first before thinking about having some savings for the future to invest on.


You have a point, just imagine how can your work well if you stomach is empty, you cant think well for sure that is why it is better to find food than thinking about earning money for the future, even myself those times that I've lost my job and dont have food to eat, the only thing on my mind is how to survive that day that we could eat then after ill think on where i should apply for work as i cant think well if I'm hungry.
1500  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: There are many advantages to the relationship between gambling and Bitcoin. on: April 26, 2023, 12:47:15 PM
Can you tell us another advantage of opening an account in a Bitcoin Sportsbook?

It’s useless the decentralized feature of the coin you are using on gambling if you are depositing it on centralized casino because they got your IP and personal information once you undergo KYC so I don’t see at an advantage.

One advantage on using Bitcoin Sportsbook is you can enjoy the fast deposit and withdrawal and also your bankroll keeps growing once Bitcoin price pump. It’s a win win situation if you won your bet and the price of Bitcoin pump at the same time which doesn’t happened if you are using useless fiat.

On the same time, there are also some chances that the opposite thing will happen because the value of the crypto you're using will depreciate at times instead of pumping. So, aside from those advantages mentioned, there are as well disadvantage. But overall, most bettors doesn't really care if their funds will slightly grow or slightly go down, it's the security and fees they care about, mostly.

Most of the gamblers are not that depositing huge amount or if they will they mostly put it in the stable coins. Also when it comes to like withdrawing it they not tend to wait for couple of days or weeks just to withdraw it so there are not really impact on volatility but the experience on it is really different from fiat because even that cents has still value when it dumps or pumps
