441  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you foresee crypto payments going mainstream soon? Why or why not? on: November 23, 2023, 04:23:05 PM
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of finance, the role of cryptocurrency in payments is gaining traction. 🚀 I'm curious to know your take on the future: Do you believe crypto payments are on the verge of becoming mainstream in the near future?

The crypto space has seen remarkable growth and innovation, but challenges and skepticism persist. Are we on the brink of a significant shift in how we conduct transactions, or do traditional payment methods still hold the fort?

Definitely. Not only because crypto nowadays are popular but also because there’s a lot of project now that makes crypto payments convenient like crypto debit cards that offer payment directly using crypto while earning some rebate on purchase.

The existence crypto payment processors makes everything possible to purchase now using crypto unlike before that you will need to convert first to fiat just to purchase goods that you want.

The both ideas of gambling dependence is true but I believe the first idea is the most occurring and correct reason for dependence in gambling, the excitement that comes from using a small amount to make a win more than 12x the staked amount is something else. It gives the gambler hope of making more wins, even for some who claim to gamble for fun, before you'll know it, they've turned to aggressive and irresponsible gamblers. Only few gamblers with the experience of big wins tend to gamble responsible, even if they experience some terrible losses. Aside that when gamblers experience some losses the idea of playing more to rise to their previous state is quite tempting but it can not be compared to when a gambler makes big wins. Mind you, gambling dependence and irresponsible gambling are separate thing so don't get it twisted.

This is correct when you are just beginning on your gambling journey but this changes to the later idea when you already experience winning huge amount using small amount but later on lose everything. That time will make more focus on recovering your losses rather than being optimistic in winning big.

Casino will surely win in the using house so the more you play the more chance you lose that will make you end up on chasing losses rather than focusing on winning for the sole purpose of profit.
443  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Avoid sending your BTC to the same wallet its coming out of - Quick reminder on: November 20, 2023, 02:38:03 PM
Yesterday I tried making a Bitcoin transaction and I accidentally added the same address it's coming out of. Mistakenly I may have tap the copy to clipboard without realizing. Luckily for me I did not click the send button before I realized my self.

Why you will use an address coming from the clipboard suggestion? I’m always sending funds on same wallet due to my commitment to donation but I’m always copying the address from the source no matter how repetitive the process since I want to make sure that address I copy is right despite I’m always sending on it regularly.

Your problem is not about sending Bitcoin on same address but rather sending Bitcoin on a  previous address that you send some Bitcoin.
444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this a good advice? on: November 20, 2023, 02:00:50 PM
One of em told me that this is why I don't win, that I only gamble when I feel like, he said constantly gambling is a must if you want to win, but I disagree, because I have seen too many people not knowing when to quit until it was too late.

Technically, he is telling the truth because you are indeed increasing your chance of winning if you play more often because you will have more shot than casually playing but you can always win huge jackpot in few try but it all depends on luck. So if we use statistics then betting more often is really the best way to hit jackpot.

The only concern with this is how long can your bankroll last until you hit the jackpot. That’s why gambling should be use only for entertainment because we have limited bankroll and chasing jackpot is impossible to do with limited try.
445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 9 Years Before He finally claim his lotto rewards on: November 20, 2023, 01:56:15 PM

My questions are :
Do you think it's worth the wait, he's getting 6% interest per annum but he still has to pay a lot of money and suffers a lot even to the point of having a rift with his daughter
Will you do the same thing and fight for your rights to claim the prize


I knew this story and it’s quite popular because of the uniqueness of the scenario. Both side have basis on their stand but I really like the decision of SC to release the prize since no one it that year while there’s already an announcement that 1 person win that time.

Lottery prize has only 1 year to claim while no one claim that time aside from that person who has damage ticket. PCSO can make this issue short if they will just use logic on rewarding the prize yet the higher ups in there probably taking their time so that they can claim the prize once the winner get tired on claiming.

If I’m with the same situation. Of course I will do the same since I knew myself that I’m the winner and I know that no one will claim aside me.
446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? on: November 20, 2023, 11:44:02 AM
But I believe that the greatest dependence on gambling appears at the moment of loss, when the player admits in his head the idea that he could earn so much. He is disappointed, but wants to recoup. It is at this moment that the desire comes to play again and again in order to return to the previous state.

What do you think about it?

Evidently yes. Gamblers lose control they start to lose in money because they want to get it back along with thinking earning potential. Having a desire to win more and recover loss at the same time gives the gambler confusion on what’s the real goal on gambling and that is having fun.

The problem is gambling games is designed to be that way. They allow player to win at some point then later on recover it all by continuous loss while player keep increasing bets to intensify more losses.
447  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why would someone want to buy an old empty ethereum address? on: November 20, 2023, 11:24:24 AM
recently there have been threads buying old eth wallets too.
if this is all about airdrop which the project only send to old eth wallets, how do we know which project is this?
maybe we will not missed this airdrop this time. anyone knew something?

Airdrop nowadays is not the same before which you will just to send your address then you will receive free token. Most of the project is doing a retroactive airdrop which means you really don’t know when or if they will really do an airdrop. Most of the airdrop requires participation to the project development like using the DEX and running a node for a their test net.

Along with this requirements, some airdrop requires an old address with past activities to avoid airdrop abuser that create multiple account to claim multiple airdrop. You can follow those startup project especially L1 and L2 project that is just doing test net. But airdrop nowadays is guaranteed and requires spending.

totoo dahil nong pandemic, pero nagpa umpisa niyan yong online sabong, tapos pagbagsak ng online sabong dito sa baraha, at sportsbetting naman.

ngayon pinasok na ng mga influencer, ma offeran lang ng magkanong halaga pinopromote na.. kahit na fake funds lang naman kadalasan na ginagamit nila..

Matagal ng mahilig sa sugal ang mga pinoy. Ngayon lang talaga nagboom ang online gambling sa bansa natin dahil madali ng makapag operate yung mga online operator kahit na walang license dahil madaling magtiwala ang mga pinoy sa mga shady website basta may influencer na nagpro2mote nito kagaya nalang ng Philwin at madami pang iba.

Nag intensify lalo ito nung pandemic dahil walang magawa ang mga tao tao tapos pinasok na tayo ng mga chinese at iba pang foreign casino kaya sobrang boom talaga ng online casino hanggang ngayon dahil sobrang accessible na nito.
449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should Casinos Sponsor Sites That Deals With Gambling Addiction on: November 19, 2023, 03:47:38 PM

pretty sure governments still tax casinos even if they require them by law to donate to charities, tax revenue from casinos is no joke, I doubt governments will pass the chance on getting money from casinos, especially on how big the revenue they bring in each year.

The government of many countries getting taxes from the gambling sites where the gambling was the legal one.So the government itself sponsor the gambling addicted person to get away from the gambling addiction.The gambling addiction can be cured only by the acceptence of the gambler to the game.After some losses the gambler will start to do the target of their gambling loss,this was the prime reason for the gambling addiction.So the gambler should start to control the deposit of the dollars to the gambling site and only fix the certain amount of the gambling site for certain period of time.Mostly the gambler can do the fixed deposit for the week and don't get into the daily based.Because it was not easy to control the deosit for the day time period when the gambler at the gambling addiction.

It’s called sin tax in my country. Government is not directly sponsoring it that’s why there’s always a disclaimer for any advertisement which gambling is involved. They are just allowing it because people keeps doing it illegally which is more dangerous because it’s not moderated.

We all know that the real problem here is the gambler itself. Even without license, advertisement and other things that will allow casino to operate. There will still a lot of illegal operations open in discreet location because people seek this kind of activity themselves. This is why responsible gambling is a must.
450  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io| 💸Join NEW Crypto Staking | 🔥Get the highest APRs – up to 60% on: November 19, 2023, 03:31:56 PM

No new development for the casino besides that APR. Maybe it needs another promotion to keep the projects popularity because its starting to die down.

If its presence is just to keep the ANN thread up, it will be forgotten especially that I don't see anyone bragging their wins in this casino.

The casino itself is still popular because they have strong marketing in social media. BFG token is the one that already left behind and probably just another token use for reward in the casino. They already stop focusing their promotion to the token that’s why there’s nothing much price action happening.

I doubt that they will revive promotion on their token while they have a good casino performance in general without thinking about the BFG token.

I think one of the main problems is that they are quiet about the development of the tokens (no roadmap,…). In my eyes, the mining should never have stopped so early, in that way the team had a lot more team to think about what doing next with the tokens is mining is finished.

Yeah. They are purposely doing it to avoid commitment on it again that we all know will cost them a lot while they are just using the token for reward purposes. The BFG token liquidity is not that huge while everyone in the community seems like doesn’t care on the development of the token.

I think they are just ignoring as much as possible since the casino is still working fine with or without the token.
451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP - yes or no? on: November 19, 2023, 02:17:43 PM
Xrp was being a good altcoin since it get launched. It made many people millionaires and there was no lack of investor until the sec issue. But now the issue is solve and it raised up once again. It can be bought but i think xrp is getting old. New potential coins with new concepts get more value now. i assume this time xrp will unable to fly that higher where we expecting from it to go. But still it can be investable if anyone wish to add to with it by adding this coin in his portfolios

XRP price is already too high considering the total supply of this token is already at 100B. Their blockchain is too centralized while there’s a lot of alternative blockchain out there that has a better performance but with high security. XRP valuation is due to VC capitalizing on them. They are getting profit from gullible investors that still buying this token just because of the name and not on the feature.

XRP partnership is useless if you think about it since they are too centralized which means the team has the full control over the blockchain. They are bank in crypto which I don’t know the sense of using a blockchain.

453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer wins seem too good on: November 18, 2023, 04:40:31 PM
speaking of streamers, but just that in my case from a genuine experience not from a  casino paid/sponsored streamer. In the local gambling shops in my country when a gambler wins a large amount of money lets say in millions and the news about the overwhelming win hits the street, you see a lot of gamblers resuscitating their hopes of winning too by gambling more than previous , even gamblers that had for some reason taken a break from gambling are compel to return to the tables to gambling on hearing about that big win. And this is what online casinos dramatically do by sponsoring streamers to lure in more new users online. But as an experienced gambler knowing about these tricks nothing moves you, you just do your thing gambling responsibly as usual without being influenced.

This is the effect advertisement. By showing the possible positive outcome, people will hope to experience same luck that’s why they rush in. It’s the typical behavior human to follow the heard especially if there’s already proof of potential good outcome.

Online casino is doing the same trick that’s why they always post huge win on their social media status and partnerships with streamers to have a good publicity on winning big on their casino. Their target is new customers and not professional with their ads because they already know that it’s not effective to gambler with experience just like what you said.
454  Local / Pilipinas / Re: May holdings ba kayo na Bitcoin ecosystem project on: November 18, 2023, 03:44:57 PM
Sa ngayon wala pa akong hodlings lalo na sa mga nabanggit mo na coins OP kasi nag-iipon pa ako puhunan. 😁 Pero kapag may sapat na funds na ako pampuhunan ay syempre pag-iisipan ko yang mga coins na yan at iba pang nabibilang sa Bitcoin ecosystem. Undervalued yung kadalasan sa mga coins na to kaya maganda din na maghold for long term kasi di natin alam ang galaw ng market.

Nag out na din ako since tumumal na yung growth pagkatpos ng early pump nila hindi kagaya ng ibang blockchain project kagaya ng Near, Matic at iba pa na continuous lng ang growth kasabay ng Bitcoin.

Buti nlng talaga at nakapag TP pa ako nung nakaraang araw habang up pa ang market. Halos bumalik kasi sa entry price itong mga token. Wait lang ulit ako na matapos ang correction then pasok ulit.
Itong Matic ay maganda din galaw nito sa market dahil nung nagtetrade pa ako ay meron din akong holdings nito. In the near future bibili at bibili ako ng Matic basta't may puhunan lang isa kasi to sa pinagkakitaan ko nung nagtetrade pa ako. Ako naman ang inaantay ko ay ang puhunan lang talaga. 😁

Oo. Sobrang daming trader nito at mostly big time mga investors kaya sobrang lakas ng price movement once trending si Bitcoin. May Hard fork schedule thin sila sa darating na Nov 28 although hindi ko sure ang exact details ng hard fork.

Tumataas din pati ang transaction volume sa blockchain nila dahil sa Ordinal like project na ginagagwa sa chain nila kaya sobrang daming pera ang pumapasok sa liquidity ng project nito. Sa tingin ko ay mabebeat nito yung previous ATH nya once magcontinuous pump na ulit si Bitcoin above 40k.
455  Local / Pilipinas / Ano ang gagawin mo sa sitwasyon na ito? on: November 18, 2023, 03:41:46 PM
Recently ay naglabas ng update si Justin Sun na nadetermine na nila ang identity ng hacker na nagnakaw ng funds sa Poloniex exchange recently. Binigyan nya ng ultimatum ang hacker na ibalik ang funds at bibigyan sya ng 10M whitehat reward or ipapahunt na sya sa authority.


Kung ikaw ang hacker, tatanggapin mo ba yung reward or lie low lang muna since may possibility na bluff lang yung offer ni Sun since pwede naman nya ipahuli nalang sa pulis yung hacker withotu announcing na nakuha na nya yung info ng hacker?  

Simple Q&A muna tayo habang wala pang action si Bitcoin.
456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How close have you ever been to winning a big amount/jackpot? on: November 18, 2023, 02:45:01 PM
I was really unlucky in the lottery, not even hitting 4 numbers out of 6. I could just dream about it at least hitting almost is a big factor to say that we are not unlucky for this and maybe the time has come to hit the jackpot. But for me, I was hopeless then, it looked like winning the jackpot prize was quite hard and I had to say to myself that if I continued doing this I could surely lose more. I've been in sports betting and this a great place for me as I was a fan of sports.
To win the lottery you must match every lottery number.  So even if 5 of your 6 numbers match, it will not bring any benefit to you.  Because out of 6 numbers, 5 matches and 1 match or 0 matches will all bring the same result.  So I'm not a mathemativist about how many numbers I got in the lottery and how close I was to winning. i will be that motivation when I keep winning the lottery.  Then I will believe that my luck is very good and it works very well.

There’s a consolation price in lottery when you hit a certain amount of exact numbers. In my country, You will get a ticket refund for hitting 3 number out of 7 while 4, 5, and 6 exact number has consolation prize too that grows while the prize pool grow.

Hitting all the required winning number will just give you a major prize but a consolation prize from a huge prize pool is significant amount too so hitting this consolation prize is good achievement too.

458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most important thing in a betting site on: November 17, 2023, 04:23:44 PM


In my case, it's the speed of approving and processing withdrawals.


So, what's the number one thing on your list?

This is common feature and most of the trusted casino has an instant withdrawal/deposit feature. They just vary when your account is subject to investigation due to potential violation of the ToS that’s why you should only play on reliable trusted casino which is my number pick for criteria on choosing betting site.

Next is the frequency of bonus promotion and the requirements because many betting site has a bonus requirements that is too hard to claim that is almost impossible to achieve without losing huge part of your money.

Please share your opinions on common mistake newbie makes when market trends upward.

Just invest on huge caps altcoins like Ethereum, ADA, XRP and so on that is listed on top 10 then you are safe on crazy swing of Altcoins since huge has a very low chance to wreck the price out of nowhere without Bitcoin dumping.

Avoid buying altcoins that is low marketcap and trading volume since this kind of coin can erase all your capital in just a short period of time. Yes, profitability is high but the risk of losing all your assets too is also high so it’s not really worth it. Much better to secure gains by investing on high confidence assets since it will pump later on following Bitcoin.
460  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Ginagamit nyo pa ba Ledger wallet nyo? on: November 17, 2023, 03:10:23 PM
Out of curiosity, bakit ayaw mo ng Trezor devices? Dahil ba ito sa CoinJoin [optional] or iba?
For a change since nadala nako sa Ledger na popular brand tapos biglag naging ganito nangyari. Kaya mas preferred ko yung ibang brand na semi popular lang pero trusted na open source. Pero trezor din talaga first choice ko na alternative, Nagbabaka sakali lang ako kung meron pang ibang good brand.

Never ko pa nakapagtry na gumamit ng mga hardware wallets dahil sa priorities ko. Hot wallets gamit ko gaya ng Mycelium, Coinomi at Electrum wallets so far wala naman nangyaring masama sa funds ko simula 2017 hanggang ngayon. Though yung mga kinikita ko lang din sa signature campaigns yun eh safe naman. Siguro kung darating sa point na magkaroon ako nga chance na makapag-invest ng malakihan siguro bibili na ako ng hardware wallet pero syempre hanap din ako feedback dito sa forum kung ano maganda at safe. So far Ledger at Trezor lang alam ko sa mga ganyang klaseng wallets.

Sa case ko kasi ay naglalagay ako ng pera galing salary ko sa trabaho kaya iniingatan ko talaga funds ko since savings ko ito long term while maliit lang naman na halaga yung value ng HW compared sa nakalagay ko na crypto asset. For peace of mind na din para iwas paranoid sa possibility na mhack hot wallet ko.
