It's smart but far from wise right now, for it to be considered wise, you have to tell that friend of yours the negatives of bitcoin too especially the volatility part, that's a big factor in my opinion that can decide if that friend will continue to invest in bitcoin because she's pumping out a lot of money in it for a newbie which wouldn't be advisable since it's a big money. Also tell her that she only needs to invest only what she can afford to lose because if she's hodling and her goal is the big profit in her bitcoin investment then that money will have to stay in a wallet for a really long time. Make sure that you're not going to be blamed in case the market goes down and her investment's value goes down because you're the one that's introduced her to bitcoin after all. Besides those concerns, I'm happy for you and your friend that you're able to invest in bitcoin and have hodling for the long-term in mind, may you reap great profits.

Losing everything doesn't mean they'll automatically learn about things, some might even go deeper than that and try to ask for a loan to continue their habit that's slowly turning to addiction every single day that they're spending on it. I don't think that prospecting the future is the key to quitting maybe it's just a part of it but I think and believe that the key to quitting gambling is to find their purpose and the person that they want to devote their lives to, what I mean by purpose is that when someone's just living their life aimlessly and swimming with the current, they're bound to look for something that will ease their search and sometimes those search lead to stuff that will lead to a life of ruin and so they end up getting stuck in that situation because they thought that the thing they've been looking for has already been found from that habit. The second one's pretty self-explanatory, you want to be the best person for that person so you'll do anything to make a positive change.

I think I've misread and misunderstood it so I might be giving out a bad opinion that's not align with what I truly mean. When I was replying to this, my brain automatically implied with hidden that it's something that's still in the terms and condition but well hidden either by clustering it with words that are fresh in someone's eyes and they might not know or understand it or something that convolutes the simple terms so the readers won't catch on in regards to how they will handle you, your data and your experience in their casino or in short it's implied to me that it's the fine print. Of course if something's hidden, then that means that it's hidden and it won't be shown.

To answer your wondering about the government operating a casino, they have the manpower and gambling is a good source of tax and income if they operate one so it's a must for them to have a department or a government agency that handles gambling and the gambling industry as a whole, if you're a government that can't do that or assign a group of people to manage that small part of your economy and country then you're failing as a government. Totally agree about the KYC part, we need to be able to play with peace and know that we're playing somewhere that's not infested of money launderers.

It's tiring that we're just saying the same thing about this kind of stuff, maybe it's time that we should bump the oldest topic that's talking about this topic and then talk there about new tips, maybe a mega or giga thread of advice about gambling and how not to become addicted to it, helps with the congestion in the Gambling and Gambling Discussion so we can see more topics unrelated to tips and tricks on how to be a responsible gambler or maybe someone just create a new thread that will make it official that if we're talking about what to do and what not to do in gambling, we will just post there.

As much as I like to see that, in an article form of casino review, that's going to be a lot of stuff to be given to the people to read and it's not really a good thing for a casino reviewer to do those because the casino that's being reviewed might see it as something that's slandering their brand especially if they've got an issue recently and it don't matter if this looks weird in your eyes but I think that as much as you can, never touch the issues like these when you're reviewing, make sure that you're neutral to your review so you're not going to have any problem. For me, I'm just sold with a review if they say stuff like bonuses for new players or any kind of freebies.

This so-called plague won't ever end my guy because gamblers will always gamble no matter the quality of the website that they're playing in, as long as it's passable to the players and it's making you money, I don't think that we will ever see a stop in this problem. Makes me remember of the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' I mean that's how I see this stuff that you're so worried about but others have a different opinion or even share your sentiment which is valid because some people crave something new and we should be constant when it comes to changes.

So what you're saying is that the solutions like accelerators are useless because everyone's using accelerators and so it ends with them not having any effects, kind of like if everyone's a businessman then there's no customer/consumers? I guess that's probably the best option, wait it out and let the others do the other stuff, another question, what would happen if I'm the only one that's waiting or there's only a few of us waiting because the other transactions have been accelerated and now they're congested there, will the transaction get faster?

Why is the Minister of the Foreign Affairs the one that's confirming this news of bitcoin legalization though? Shouldn't it be the finance branch or the bank branch of the Argentinian government the one that should be confirming this? I'm just confused because as I remember, foreign affairs are involved in international relations and diplomacy right? From what I've read, it's not a complete adoption yet but given the stance that President Javier Milli takes on this particular issue, I don't think it's not a far before bitcoin becomes a legal tender in the country, celebrating with you Argentinian bitcoin users, you're one step ahead of the many countries including mine that are still resisting the allure and benefits that bitcoin have, I hope that we will follow suit soon and be the first one in SEA.

That's why I only do my browsing on Twitter and Google with Brave, it's got a built-in adblocker so you don't need to worry about those pesky ads that are on the websites that you visit or sometimes pop-up and take you to a different website. I would probably credit Brave for being able to help me not worry if I clicked on something dangerous on the ads because there's no ads there. I just hope that they don't have that problem with YouTube anymore where there's no sounds playing in the videos but if I use another browser, there's no problem with the sound.

This is what I thought would be the problem too, that it's going to be difficult to explain some of the crypto information like you're talking to a 5-year old, it's going to be difficult task especially if there's not a lot of people that are adept at that field and it's difficult to do it to those that will answer the questions and do the explaining because if they only have a surface knowledge, they're bound to have a hard time dumbing down the answers to make it easy for someone to understand and also there's the terms that are really difficult to explain like cryptospace, cryptocurrency, bitcoin core and many more. Maybe just copy the answer of the other users to your questions and then paste it in ChatGPT then ask the AI to simplify it or do a prompt like this: "Explain this next sentence like you're explaining it to a five-year old kid." From there you can tweak the prompt to make specific requests to your liking.

Congratulations @PowerGlove, pretty awesome feature, now you can work on the offensive security feature of 2FA because afaik, there are ways to bypass that authentication. From what I've heard, there was this one streamer that had his Steam account with a 2FA still being accessed by a third-party and at the same time ended with all of his in-game items stolen. I don't know though if it's a concern here though, just looking out.

Would the money you spend accumulating those raffle tickets be just enough that in the case you've win, you're going to get a good profit? It's a pretty cool raffle by Roobet, didn't know they've got that although I haven't played there in a while and I don't think I'm going to check that out because it's probably too late for me now to accumulate unless I have a lot of gambling funds which I don't have, congratulations to the winner though, I hope you'll do your own giveaway to celebrate that 250k win.

It's nice that casinos are doing this types of events that will help them gather more players, maybe it's time for me to change how I gamble. Save all the would be gambling funds and then wait for Christmas to come around and splurge on the casino that gives out the best bonuses for the season.

Well duh, that's always been the case the experience of online casinos and physical casinos have always been different and I think that physical casinos have the best experience because at least in a physical casino there's an interaction involved. The only charm of online casinos is that it's convenient and you can do it anywhere even while you're working although that's not an advisable thing to do, that's the point of online casinos. In a way, they're filling in on the gaps that they both lack so even if I say that physical casinos are superior to online casinos, that don't mean that it's a perfect one, it still has flaws like you're likely to get kicked out of there when you're winning way too much and you can't appeal unlike with online casinos where you only need to do some KYC.

I haven't seen OP replying to any of the inquiries in his recent replies and I gotta say, that looks bad because you're ignoring people that are asking questions which is bad no matter how you look at it. Hopefully we get to see some replies because the more the questions stacks up, the more it gets harder to answer everything even if some of the questions are going to be the same and we factor in that the redundant questions will only be answered once since they're only a few. Hopefully it's going to be different now and that they're doing something about it, maybe that inactivity can go away and it's a good idea for it to go away anytime soon.

There's no guarantee that the price will go up after the halving, the price pump happens months if not years before happening so just cool down and not get too excited when the halving happens because there's not a lot of eventful things when halving happens, maybe the price will go up for a little bit and then become steady, and that's how it's been for awhile already. Just do what you've already said in the last part, that's the only thing you can do anyways and all we can do is just wait for things to happen.

I wouldn't say that bitcoin's less known because it's already 13 years already and I think that's enough time for bitcoin to be spread across the Internet so I don't buy it that bitcoin isn't popular among the people of the Internet, maybe it's not yet as popular as gold but I'm sure that the gap is getting closer and closer every year. As much as I agree that both are valuable assets, I think that I would just stick to bitcoin because of the profit that you can get out of hodling it compared to hodling gold that grows in measly amounts compared to bitcoin, you're better off investing bitcoin because you're likely to keep it safe compared to gold where people would be able to steal it physically.

Seeing how the ordinals are still in existence because we're so afraid of what the miners are going to do if we remove it says something about cooperation, bitcoin is just too profitable for some people that they don't like the idea of this even though they're still probably going to get more out of it if it comes to be, and there's also the anti-bitcoin institutions like banks and investment companies that will be trying to fight bitcoin from becoming a big thing that will eclipse them and the governments of many countries still resisting since they don't like the idea that there's financial freedom for people without their help or intervention.

If this has been the thing that's happening every time they lower the rates then I don't think that it's ever going to be different. To answer the question in the title, I think that they're misinformed or they're probably shorting a lot of stocks, that's the likely reason why they're buying.
It's good for the government but it's the people that are shouldering the burden of this rates right? Maybe if the US government is ever changing the way that they're managing their budget, they might be able to afford to lower the rates that the people don't have to worry about it.

You're going to need some land to plant those coffee trees which means that you can't just plant anywhere just because you can, which means that you're going to need more than just the willingness to invest because you're going to need some sort of funds for that investment. Just because you can doesn't mean that you have the capabilities and the resources.
Don't do overtime, I'm telling you, the pay isn't that worth the time that you'll spend in the extra hours, you're better off doing other stuff that will help you increase your income stream. The pay isn't that big in terms of OT so I'm advising you against not doing it. It's enough that you're working already 8 hours, give that body the rest it needs.

Totally agree, depending on how and why you wanted that item that you've bought using that borrowed money or bank loan is going to decide if you've put it to a good use. I guess the reason why it's justifiable to conclude that it's a bad decision is because you could've used that money for other reasons like paying the down payment for a house. I disagree that it's a bad loan if you use it for car payments, the money that you'll save from commute and the hassles of commute is well worth the debt you're incurring not to mention that you can use it to apply for Uber or other taxi service app in your country.
