Coolest gift ever but I think OP didn't do it in the right way.

You don't have to tell him what to do, just telling him that he should study first about Bitcoin is important before he spend it to something. Your brother should find his own way that will suit him to grow his Bitcoin, not you telling him certain ways to do it that might not fit his type when it comes to making profits. Staking is good, but stock trading is much better in my opinion.

OP's problem should be solve as soon as possible, and he wouldn't share it here if the support did response to him as fast as they could. But also, OP didn't provide any evidence or support about his concern against Stake, so I don't know which side is really at fault. It is possible that OP break one of Stake ToS, but still we're not sure. All I know is it is really frustrating if the support ain't helping it's customer's problem fast.

Yes, I definitely agree with you.

That's why it's not really popular especially on sports betting industry. Pool is more popular than snooker in most countries because it's much simpler to play than snooker. Snooker is only popular on UK that's why it will never be on sports betting, since no one would bet on the game that they never knew about. I bet it will never become famous because pool is the one that majority knows how to play.

It's better because you could put all your efforts in it to make sure that you won't lose, while it is the complete opposite of multi bets, because it's too hassle for me to analyze data for multiple bets. I'd rather bet big with big research included for assurance rather than randomly make multi bets. Also, multi betting doesn't assure you profits, sometimes it could go other way around.

It's not really necessary, because they might not want it. You might think that it's good for them but it could be the other way around if they don't have any knowledge about cryptocurrency, so it's better if you'll ask their opinion instead. Explaining to your employees the importance of knowing and having cryptocurrency is the first thing you must do, not forcing them to have Bitcoin monthly without them knowing what they are getting into.

Precisely.

Diversifying your portfolio means reducing risk because your plan is for long term, not short term trading, so basically you ignore all the opportunity you might miss because let's say you put low leverage. Your return might be low but at least you're safe from big liquidation, your funds are safe, and you're making it to survive for long term.

Diversifying also means that your plan is solid, not based on news but based on the data and information you've got on your research.

You got some point, but I've read so many discussion already about trading and gamblers, but their meaning depends on a person's POV. Trading could be either on a high leverage or low leverage, depends on the trader. I don't see a trader that flip coins before making a trade, that's way too reckless, if you know someone like that, they are not worthy to be called "Trader", perhaps you should call him a "bored" person that doesn't have any idea where to spend his money.

There are so many vulnerabilities that have shown in several websites already in the past. One of the most known vulnerability of a website is being abused by the players to an extent of gaining something from it by violating the terms and conditions. Just like what happened way back in primedice wherein they encountered a problem on their system that happens to give a some sort of cashback whenever there's a withdrawal made. Some recognized this and managed to have multiple withdrawals made for the cashbacks. That is an exploitation of glitch and therefore anyone must be banned because it could cause a disruption in the ecosystem of the game.

There are still many more such as security and the likes. This should really be prevented to avoid abuse from anyone. Hence I commend you for taking the time to ask and gather information to make something to prevent it from happening again. Hopefully you'll succeed and be able to share us your discovery.

You definitely should improve your user interface because it seems like you are lost in time. Nowadays, there are so many poker sites that has been on the internet and they are reputable ones. If you want to be par in the competition, then you must consider enhancing and improving your website first to garner and encourage more clients to look it up and be their go-to. Check the things that a player will be looking for for a poker site and then incorporate it to your website. That way, you'll have potential clients. Consider to add variety of games to play too. Like a twist and such to make the players curious and engage with your site. Please take this as a criticism for your site to be successful in the future. I wish you luck OP.

I trade bitcoin, ethereum, BNB, and XRP and futures, those are my top coins. I also trade other coins sometimes but I focus on high volatility coins for a high risk high reward setup with low leverage only. I trade altcoins mainly on stock market, because it's much safer in my opinion since not all altcoins doesn't have any good developers, meaning their life isn't that long compare to top altcoins that you could trade in futures for long term.

Sticking to your best indicators is the best, however, it is not bad to try other indicators as long as it helps you to make profits, so changing it without any valid reason is nonsense, in my opinion. Changing constantly of your indicators could lead to something bad, like losing a lot of money again since you need to familiarize it first before you could continuously make profits from it.

I think it would really be a tough time to find out who are the snooker experts here in the forum because this game isn't really widely known compared to its counterparts that are famous such as billiards and pool. There were limited tournaments about it I believe, hence, the reason why a small population is curious and gives attention to it. I agree that you would really feel a doubt whenever you bet because the snooker game seems to be hard to predict and in a snap, tables turning could possibly happen so if someone really is very particular with money, he should think twice before betting.

But this seems to be worth looking out for too despite its unpopularity. This is another level of challenge for those who want to experience the thrill on the table.

This is true. Like what they have said, prevention is always better than cure. It would have been smooth sailing if the OP just blocked all the means the casino can contact him since he is in the recovery stage. That way, they could no longer reach him. However, I believe the casino is still somehow responsible as well because they should monitor everyone who requested to be excluded the moment the client already told them so to avoid inconvenience on the client's side as well as to not cause any nuisance since we're all aware that gambling addiction is really a serious problem that doesn't just take a one sitting to be addressed and healed.

I know this incident already happened in late 2021, but let this be a lesson to both gambler and the casino owner to be responsible for their actions and lack thereof. Let's not practice pinpointing who to blame and instead just do proactive measures to prevent such incidents to happen again.

Indeed. Anyone is capable to be an expert in a certain field particularly gambling. Investing in yourself by fueling up your knowledge would be of great help if you want to be good at it. These people that were mentioned were knowledgeable because they exerted effort and time to know what they have to know about sports for example to make a calculated and strategic prediction on who will win or who has the more chances of getting the game. They are nice to help the newbies as well as to those people who still need guidance when betting. Their predictions might not be always right, but they could be a tool for others to base their decisions to. Of course, this still comes with a risk so we should still be responsible for our decisions. After all, they are not Gods, so let's not give them the burden of being a know-it-all.

I agree with you. Despite having a massive age difference, and Ryan being the younger ones, it really doesn't mean that he'll be on the disadvantaged side because after all, the experience and skills are of importance. Even if someone is older, doesn't mean he is more skilled to fight and performs better.  It still all boils down to performance. How the boxer strikes his punches to knock out the opponent and how he would strategize to land a successful punch for a score is what matters.  I  personally cheer for him too, but of course, this won't be an easy fight still because Tagoe is an experienced fighter as well.

Given the recent state of the pandemic situation, it's possible to happen since the new variant of covid-19 which is omicron is faster when it comes to spreading and it has new characteristics compared to past variants. In addition, the vaccines made were not really intended for it therefore it is still uncertain if it's 100% effective against it as well. Although I really do hope that none of them would be tested positive because their fight is really near and it's now a week and 3 days more to their supposed fight. This fight can really push through if there would be no mishaps that would happen. But I really believe it would push through and we'll see an exciting fight among the two.

Now that you've mentioned it, it appears that sometimes people tend to overlook the importance of the license of a casino during surveys like these. I agree it has to exist and a casino must really possess it to be able to operate because having a license means that they are capable and will be responsible casino gambling owner and is following the set guidelines. License means they have undergone a thoroughly checked which means they have passed the standards and complied with all the requirements needed to operate. Every casino certainly should be licensed, however, it isn't always the case because some are still able to operate without a license or even with an expired one. Hopefully, it would be prioritized by the authorities to address problems such as having unlicensed casinos operating because most problems usually stem because of this.

Indeed, we are our very own banks if we have bitcoin. That is why most people now prefer to store their money in bitcoin because aside from being not highly affected by inflation, we can do what we want with our funds without involving a centralized organization or third party into the picture. We don't have to follow certain protocols and terms of services because we aren't entrusting our funds to an institution that has its own set of policies. We set our own rules. We don't have to abide by some irrational policy that could compromise our funds and instead we can freely do what we want with our money and protect it to the best that we can by using hardware wallets and such.

I don't really see the point in doing this. Isn't this being so greedy? Because you can always enjoy the fruit of your labor and patience if not today, in the next few years with your loved ones. It seems futile to me finding a solution to an imaginary and impossible scenario. It would be better if you would spend your coins in your lifetime. Or if you choose not to, it's better to leave it to your loved ones such as your children like you've mentioned to be their inheritance. As for me, if ever bitcoin would really massively soar in the next 100 years, it would be worthless for me to live because after all not everything just revolves around money. Imagine the generation gap that you would be into. You would have a hard time adjusting as well as having a hard time enjoying those money when you don't have someone with you to cherish and celebrate it. You could even feel lost and empty despite having so much.

If I were you, instead of thinking nonsense, I would just put my energy into generating more profit so that I could enjoy it today or in the next years without the need to wait for hundreds of years just to celebrate. You can always enjoy your assets and funds with the right discipline and limitations so that there would be left for you to use in the coming years.

I can attest with this kind of scenario. I have seen so many times already different kinds of people whenever there's pump and dump happening and mostly, these people are just everywhere. Whenever bearish market enters and coins suddenly drop price position, people are fearful, they tend to sell right away. Meanwhile, when price position is low, most people still try to enter despite the price which doesn't totally makes sense. I believe this is mainly because of three main factors which are greed, loss of hope, and unchecked and lack of information.

Greed. Most people whenever they see high price value, they would want it too. I mean, who wouldn't want gains right? However, some people do it the wrong way. Instead of buying in low price position, they buy in high position. Most people are encouraged and enticed to take the risk because of the hype. And oftentimes, they were left behind in the upper position because most people, particularly the experts already took profit resulting to gradual change in value specifically decreasing manner. Some people are just too greedy to generate money and in the end, they end up losing instead of profiting.

Loss of hope. Some people are not really emotionally strong to risk whenever they see unpleasant scenarios such as seeing a downtrend in graph. They tend to be fearful and doubtful whenever dips happen. Some thinks that it may not be able to recover and they would just end up losing money if they would risk it. Which is also justifiable since not every dip is worth it to buy. But sometimes, you just really gotta take the leap of faith and trust in the coin as long as you know they have a nice whitepaper and projects in the future. I have heard so many confessions of regrets because they didn't buy in low position. Turns out, the coin they think will continuously dump suddenly skyrockets after several years. Just like what happened with bitcoin.

Unchecked and lack of information. This is one of the factors too and actually it plays a great role. This usually is the reason behind the greed and fear of investors and traders. Oftentimes, they are misinformed about something and didn't bother to have a fact-checking before delving into it. And sometimes, they just don't bother to search and equip themselves with knowledge.

Being so fearful won't get you nowhere the same way with being so greedy. So you must really know when to invest and when not to. And being so complacent to the point that you no longer check and feed yourself necessary knowledge about the things you do makes a conflict too. Let us always be a responsible investor. Let's do our part such as doing in depth research to avoid wrong timings and regrets.
