Wag ka maniwala sa mga yan na bibili sila kung sakaling magcrash yung price sa ganyang level kasi sure ako na kapag dumating yung point na yan ay susubukan nanaman nila ulit na maghintay dahil natatakot naman sila ngayon na baka pagpasok nila sa ganyang price ay mas bababa pa lalo yung presyon ng bitcoin at ayaw nila na maghintay pa kung sakaling mangyari daw yun, gusto ng mga ganyan na tao eh yung pagkapasok nila sa gusto nila na presyo ay aangat bigla yung bitcoin para mabilis silang makapag take ng profit. Yan yung mga tao na takot magrisk sa pera nila kahit sure win naman yung papasukan na investment, volatile na kung volatile pero bitcoin yun eh, ilang beses pa ba nila kailangan makita na bumabalik sa pagkabagsak yung price bago sila matuto, nakakalungkot na nakakainis na may mga ganitong tao pero wala eh, ganyan talaga sila, takot sa investment na sure win.

18 years old in a lot of countries is considered an adult so it's not about the experience, it's about how the society has considered you an adult that is responsible for their actions. That's it I think, there's no more magic I think behind why that's the preferred age that a casino or the law allows to gamble. Of course, inexperienced players can gamble, how are you supposed to know how to gamble in the first place duh but the problem with this is that you can't really do this in a physical casino or a well-established online casino because they're going to ask for your ID and especially with online casinos that don't want any issues of minors playing in their website, they're going to do an extensive background check so the best bet of someone that don't have an experience in gambling is to either play in an illegal casino, play the game that they want to play on the phone to familiarize themselves without the risk of losing money from losing or they can play with their friends, most of the time though, when you really need an experience on a game, you do need to do what I've said but there are some that you don't like slots, roulette or plinko.

But if you account for all the losses compared to all the times that you've win, the difference would still be massive no matter what and I think that this topic was made to somehow make some form of coping mechanism from all the losses that OP has experienced and the only thing that it's going to do is tolerate and make a beacon for all the people to think that gambling isn't going to be bad for their wallets after all because someone said so, no matter how much people twist it, gambling doesn't pay and even if you try to reason that there's people that are winning a lot of money and not losing most of the time, they're a particularly unique group of people that are very few so don't let it get through your head that some can get paid or is profiting in gambling and that you might be able to do that, you can't and I can't. Don't give them false hopes.

I wouldn't say that it's a detriment after all it's just a product placement at best and I don't think that it can affect the game in anyway and let's face it, even if these companies aren't allowed to do this, someday someone will find a loophole to promote their brands on sports and that's the truth, they'll always find a way. Another thing about this is the fact that with this brand placements, they're also funding the paychecks of the players in that team and making it function as a club or whatever organization it is, sadly we don't live in a utopia where someone can just ask for what they need and it's human nature to have more than his neighbor so it's a matter of practicality and reality that these advertisements are placed on the players' jerseys, the only way that we can stop this product and service placement is if we stop using their services or products totally so no matter how much they advertise and pay these players money to promote their brand, they would still be at a loss.

But during their recovery or intervention, it's not really the right time to criticize someone that's trying their best to recover from their addiction sure it does work for some but do you want to risk on knowing whether it works on them or not when the alternative isn't to criticize at all and just give them all the love and support that they're going to need in their healing journey? I think that it's a matter of time before you can do that criticism part and in my opinion, that part only should happen when the recovering person permits you to do so and sometimes, what you think might be constructive criticism might not be for that person and the tone of your voice might also play a part on the reason why criticism isn't bad. Sometimes the people that are having problems don't really want solutions, they want someone to vent their emotions their problems and how they're dealing with it, if all you do when someone's telling you their problem is to give them solution instead of just hearing them out then you're never going to really help someone.

For me, it's mostly poker or slots but I enjoy the most and in terms of preference would be poker, I personally like to gamble when there's something that I can do besides depending on luck so I do have more excitement when it comes to playing poker, the thrill of having a really bad card but you knowing how to bluff and knowing that your opponent is having a hard time deducing whether you're bluffing them or not and the small movements that give away their move is something that I'm excited because it's difficult to find but the moment that you find it is the moment that you're the most ecstatic. Another reason why I prefer poker because of the excitement is that there's also the fact that the house has no edge on poker so that means that it's your own fault if you lose and that the casino won't get any money from you even if you lose.

Let me tell you how, you buy crypto with your dirty money^[1], you can use a mule or smurf to split the bulk amount of crypto that you've bought from your dirty money with and those smurfs will register on a casino and put their crypto in their and depending on your instruction, the smurfs can play a part of that crypto and then they withdraw that money or they can just withdraw it after depositing I'm not sure about this part though but I think that's the reason why casinos are restricting people from withdrawing without playing or withdrawing without a KYC and then they might also use some mixer to further muddle their tracks of the laundering and there you can enjoy your "clean" money. I think I'm wrong with my process but if anyone will correct me, feel free to do so.

^[1] You buy the crypto either with P2P online or physically, it depends on where the dirty money is but I believe that most of them do a P2P physically.

It's probably just the government (CCP) doing all of this trading, I think they've got a really huge amount of bitcoin hoard for a long time so it's no surprise that they're still trading despite the news that there's a ban in China or a crackdown there on private ownership of bitcoin. The Chinese market is definitely interested in the bitcoin market but I believe that there's only the government that does the trading, remember that China is a totalitarian government and bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that provides an individual freedom in finances and China don't want that, even if the Western media gets it wrong, it will almost always be that China is suppressing their people.

For me though, I don't think that they're totally unbanning mining in China because there's no way that China is going to let their people make a lot of money the easy way thru mining, they'll always willing to try and get their hands on the biggest piece of pie in a lot of aspects so it's not that difficult to think that China would exempt bitcoin mining to their attitude of take as much as possible.

The problem with your plea that everyone should make money with their phone is the fact that the Internet is full of scammers that are going to exploit the fact that you're going to find some way to make money online, everyone wants to make money so of course they're going to exploit that fact. It's also difficult to earn money using your phone, there's not a lot of them that will let you do that and even if there is, the rewards are pretty much peanuts that it's not even worth it to consider dealing with it, probably the best thing that you can do is to stop using your phone for social media or maybe reduce your time in it and improve upon some skills that you've got or learn something and make money out of those skills if you can so you don't rely too much on easy money.

Nakakatawa nga na meron siyang kredibilidad sa una pa lang eh, mantakin mo nanghihikayat siya ng iba na mag-invest eh hindi naman siya licensed na financial advisor tapos influencer pa, kelan pa naging credible na source ng trading information yung mga influencer? Ang goal nila ay mahikayat lang kayo at makakuha ng pera mula sayo o di naman kaya ay mabenta nila yung mga pinopromote nilang produkto. Hindi naman din kasi immune yung mga ganyan sa scam, tandaan natin na ang mga scam ay nag-iimprove din kasabay ng technology kaya kung hindi ka updated sa mga bagong paraan kung pano ka nila niloloko ay tiyak na tataas tsansa mo na mabiktima talaga, naiisip ko sa ganyan din ay nasilaw sila sa ROI o pangako na kita at tubo sa investment namin kaya pumalag na sila sa investment tapos smooth talker din siguro yung scammer at ayun, disaster talaga.

Thank you sa recommendation na exchange na gagamitin, matagal ko na din naririnig yang Bybit at OKX bilang alternatibo na exchange at salamat sa pagsabi na pareho lang siya sa Binance pagdating sa P2P dahil yan lang talaga yung hinahanap ko, tagal ko na din nagtatanong sa iba ng mga katulad ng Binance and I think dyan na din ako. So long Binance, sana pwede ka pa din gamitin sa tulong ng VPN.

Kaya nga eh, at ang pagkakaalam ko ay wala naman atang worth yung BCH. Ang naiimagine ko lang na gagamit ng machine na 'to sigurado yung mga new generation ng crypto investors, yung mga walang pakialam sa privacy nila at ang tingin nila ay cool yung gumagamit nito. Sana nga gawaan nila ng option na may USDT o kaya ay may iba pang crypto na available kasi kapag hindi nila ginawa yun, sigurado akong may ibang gagawa nung ganun na vending machine na may feature.

These lay offs are more than just budgeting for the company, that's a joke in my opinion, what? They can't afford to do an upkeep the payment for their employees but the board is consistently paid in billions of dollars? I don't think that's because of the recession, for me, I feel like that's the biggest reason for the lay offs, the economy is bad and the higher ups don't want to lose a cent of their salary to shoulder the burden so they can keep their employees and another reason is that some of these companies that are laying off are probably finding ways to outsource the work to other people that they can pay them much more cheaper or if it's a tech company, they've got the cutting edge AI ready to replace the workers.

Isn't Monero already a privacy coin? So why the need for a mixer to do some hiding? I think that you're being scammed here OP when you use a Monero mixer, there's a lot of people out there that wants your money because they can steal it without you ever getting it back, stay safe out there. Follow what @batang_bitcoin is suggesting you to do, nothing bad comes when you're asking the right questions on the right places.

It still is, in fact, all kinds of investments will always be risky no matter what, I'm pretty sure that risk is never going away when it comes investment and the thing that I believe everyone should do if they can't stop investing in altcoin is for them to be doing research on what altcoin they're going to be investing first before doing the actual investing, you're better off knowing what the altcoin promises to do and learn about the development team behind it and what's their vision for that altcoin, if they somehow pass those criterias that I've mentioned then you can finally consider them as a good altcoin to invest into but remember altcoins are a really risky investment and even if they feel like they're going to grow in value, remember that it's not 95% of the case.

No one knows about that coin here, also it's a generic name and I don't think that it's going to be a good coin to invest into. Are you planning to invest in it or you're curious what it is?  I've tried to check it on Coinmarketcap and it's not showing me anything, only an error which is a bad thing if you ask me. I suggest what @Volimack suggested, try other crypto to invest into that's more trusted and has some reliability like ETH and BNB, make sure to only invest what you can afford to lose though, you don't want to be waiting for them to go back up again or crying over losing half of your investment because it didn't go your way.

Best stick to doing some more research OP, Applecoin doesn't have any purpose or use case, don't risk it. You're likely not going to see any profit in it, if they make you ask questions like these, that can only mean that they're not that trustworthy.

You've got Royse's permission to take the job, just do it but if you're a moral man then it shouldn't be a no brainer for you to just reject the work, your name is OddJobsForBitcoin, why are you complaining when "odd jobs" are coming to you? At the end of the day, you just made something, you didn't support the ideology behind the message? Haters will continue on hating and Royse knows that so you can rest easy that you're not doing anything wrong.

That's because he was brainwashed as a kid that when he gets into military that they're groomed to be called the good guys which they'll only see that they're not. As much as you've got free will as you'd like to say, training that's drilled to your bone will almost always lead you to override what makes sense to you. In regards to shooting someone and being on the battlefield, I believe that what's going through your mind there is "don't get yourself killed" so they've got no choice, either kill or be killed.

I wouldn't say it's unnecessary for the sake of the protest but in my opinion, it's the wrong timing for him to do this self-immolation protest, if he did this when the time is right, it would have had more impact. Look at Thich Quang Duc, he did it at the right moment and people listened finally.

I'm doozy reading but I get what you're trying to solve and you're selling and I'm on board with that but @un_rank actually raises a really good question, how sustainable it is? We all know how popular free money is right? I think that this one will attract a lot of people so you need to tell us how you're going to fund your project consistently and with emphasis to consistency, would you be able to keep this for long because when people get a taste of this, they're probably going to come back for more and more. You'll also need to deal with freebie abusers as they're definitely going to want this and will try to make sure that they're getting the biggest as much as possible.

Only a matter of time before bitcoin topples the other and brings them 1 place below bitcoin, I'm excited to see that happen and I do hope that we'll see that soon because there's no way it can never happen. Is this like the latest data though? Because if it's not then that means bitcoin is either don't have to take a lot of effort to move to 5th or 4th place. Man, hopefully this will ignite something inside a lot of bitcoin hodlers out there, you know, that there's future in bitcoin and that if they just stick with it, they'll eventually get to where they want to be in their bitcoin journey.
