It's not always too late to invest in bitcoins, if you have ever miss any Bitcoin bull run or you have heard about the bitcoins bull run and you are excited to take actions, my simple advice is, calm the pressure. This advice is driven from the view point of the economy struggles of many, avoid over thinking , work hard to earn money and diversify your investment. Most persons in the crypto space are dying in the inside because they do not have money to invest due to their present circumstance. If you do not have money to invest now, please ease the pressure, you may have more than enough to invest in the future. Calm the pressure my dear friends, don't borrow money, I repeat, don't borrow money to invest on Cryptocurrency, because it is a volatile asset. Life is about risk which you have heard  countless times but it will be unwise to take loan to buy bitcoins.


I take trading as some sort of gambling, and even hodling Bitcoin could be seen as a bet too, due to political/legal uncertainties and price volatility. That said, the same bad mistake that would be to take a loan to gamble (incredible for many like is, but still too frequent) is to take a loan to trade or invest in crypto.

As you said, it would be better to make the effort and earn some spare money that you can use to invest, or if you don't have a job or it doesn't give you spare money you could even work for crypto in your free time, instead of doing other hobbies that would increase your expenses.

Volviendo a revisitar el producto objeto del OP, parece que ya está presente en 28 países. Digamos que ha logrado encontrar sus canales de distribución, algo que no es trivial de realizar.

Ahora bien, el producto a mi entender sigue vendiendo como el monedero más seguro del mundo, y sobre la afirmación, es discutible tanto su calificación como monedero, como el hecho de ser el más seguro del mundo.

-snip-


Ya sabemos que la línea entre el marketing y la publicidad engañosa a veces se difumina. El monedero más seguro del mundo, sí, bueno. Recuerdo que demandaron a ING por ser "tu otro banco y cada día el de más gente" cuando llegaron al punto de inflexión en el número de clientes, ganando los demandantes porque ya no era verdad que cada día eran más.

Podría haber un pase si en algún momento hubiera sido el monedero más seguro (si lo clasificamos como tal), pero no lo es, y aunque lo fuera no podría seguir diciéndolo cuando un competidor u otro método le superara en seguridad.

983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling by financial dependents. on: September 06, 2023, 12:47:41 PM
I agree. Even he's already in legal age to gamble, the point is, he's still depending on his parents financially and the money given is meant for his studies and not for leisure.

Thus, it's normal for parents to be worried if they became aware that their son is into gambling. Therefore, an advice of looking for a side job is better rather than relying on his mother's given allowance. This way, the son can have a budget if he wants to entertain himself through gambling.

When I reached the age of majority, I could provide for myself, in which case you begin to look at money with a completely different responsibility. Of course, I tried different strategies in gambling at this time, because I was looking for a way to get rich quick, but I did it with extreme caution and worried even about losing small amounts on a loss. So it is possible that when a teenager starts earning money on his own, then his responsibility in gambling will be higher.

Well, that's another way to see it, and I think that you are right and your case repeats in many cases when teenagers have to face the real world when they reach the majority. Unfortunately, not all of them will be as responsible as you were or we may think, and for the parents who suffer something like that it has to be a difficult situation to handle. Because their son is free to do what he wants, and some of them will do the wrong thing. That's why education at a young age is the best prevention.

The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?

I think that it is a bit late to worry about it. I mean, I don't think overprotection will be the best solution for an adult. The only way to help would've been to educate him about gambling habits when he was younger and unable to play, and teach him some fundamentals so he understands that bets are not a reasonable business or investment, but leisure and it costs money.
985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: September 06, 2023, 04:52:29 AM
`
The idea that someone who won the lottery on his first attempt should have played already 10 years is not really correct, because his numbers wouldn't have won back then. Just because it won today doesn't mean he would have always won on the first try. There is a difference in choosing numbers randomly and always picking the same numbers, but the winning chances are always the same. The only way to increase our winning chances is to buy more tickets, there is not strategy that we can follow that is going to make us win the lottery. The whole idea of the lottery is based on the fact that people don't care so much if they have 5 or 10 bucks more in the wallet or not. The chances of becoming a millionaire overnight are much more valuable than saving all the money we spend on lottery over our life. The whole concept of taxes in lottery is what makes a bad deal for the players and still millions of people play every week. My grandfather is the best example, he played the lottery every week for 30+ years and never won anything big. I think his biggest win was something like 250 Euro in today’s money. That is why I only play when there is a huge jackpot and only because all my friends win. The worst thing would be if my friends beat the jackpot and I would be the only won not playing and missing out on millions.
True: the lottery is random and unexpected, thus prior numbers dont affect future results. Your grandfather's instance is the Gambler's Fallacy, when one assumes a given occurrence will happen based on past happenings. Unfortunately, the lottery doesnt care about regularity or consistency. Buying additional tickets may boost odds, but not the outrageous odds. Winners are further diluted by taxes. And playing solely when there's a big jackpot is a typical technique, but greater jackpots mean more players, which can lower your projected return. Gamblers often worry about missing out, especially with friends. However, your savings from not playing often can be invested for higher, more consistent results. Personally, I find the lottery dull. It lacks strategic depth and analysis like other gaming. Diversify your risks and bet wisely. Your pocketbook will appreciate.

The fact of spending 5/10 spare bucks in lottery, when a single ticket would cost 1$, is what I mean lacks the understanding on probability (even if you spent 10k it wouldn't be enough to win a big prize.

It is true that lotteries have nothing to do with strategy and analysis, but this way is harder for the players to fall into a false sense of control (apart of some magical thinking about certain "lucky" numbers). The only way to increase the odds is by buying more tickets, but we've already seen how this doesn't make any sense in terms of probability.

-snip-

My advice to everyone reading this is that casinos are not very far from forcing KYC verification on customers some days, enjoy these while they last.

It's not the casino's fault, it's just the way things are in this world, The government always wants a piece of every pie.

Unless decentralised casinos get popular in the next few months or years, regulatory trend is to force KYC, so you are right: casinos that don't ask for it have their days counted.

More concerning that the governments getting their share is the destination of the personal documents and data you provide in order to fulfill the KYC: no one guarantees that they won't be sold or leaked at any time, and the use eventually given to them is unsure too.

En España, las rentas más altas deben presentar el modelo correspondiente a la autoliquidación del Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio.

Como reza el siguiente artículo, en el ejercicio 2021 (pagadero en 2022) afloraron más de 2.000 millones de euros en criptomonedas, según comunicado del lunes de la Agencia Tributaria.

De las más de 230.000 personas que declararon sus criptomonedas, solo 831 acumularon casi el 60% del total de riqueza en criptos.

I agree with the OP that buying a few satoshis (or whatever coin) in order to hodl for your children is a good idea (always money you can afford to lose). Who knows when they have 5, 10 years, they may be worth a little fortune to cover his expenses and/or give him for custody when he get's to a certain age.

I have a little hw with a few sats and eth that may be worth nothing when the moment arrives, I'm aware, but there is the other possibility too.

990  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to join best bounty and earn money? on: September 05, 2023, 04:43:02 AM
There is no such thing as best bounty you have to do all the bounty projects and after working all the bounty projects you can get payment from some bounty projects. Which Bounty Project will be successful is more difficult than which Bounty Project will not be successful so if you want to earn money by bounty then you have to join all kinds of bounty projects and work regularly. In addition to working on all bounty projects, there are some well-known managers who make regular payments, all those bounty managers should take the project more seriously. No task is small, whatever you are doing you have to give maximum concentration to that task only then you can get good out of it.

Yes, unfortunately there are so many shitty campaigns that one should participate in a bunch of then to guarantee some kind of payment. If you get into one of the mentioned campaigns from well-known managers then you'll be all right, but there are usually reserved to higher rank members. Lower members should settle for altcoins bounties while they grow.

Frankly speaking, this is not to downplay on the facts buttressed or the focal point, in my head, i consider lotteries not worthy of either Possible, Probable or even Proven to indulge in.

Why not just save up some money and pursue what you see as the reward an down it. If you have a million people chasing whats meant for one person, what happens to the 999999 people when the 1 person finally wins. I don't think its worth it.
Saving is definitely a good option but saving takes years before you can hit a million, that’s why people will rather chose to try their own luck and become instant millionaires when their combination digits hit the jackpot prize. The bad thing here is when they become addicted to lottery, and they can’t control anymore their betting amount. That’s the reason why betting lottery in the long run isn’t worthy at all, not because they can’t be lucky to win, but it’s rare to see people winning such a huge amount, unless if he stick to his combination number for more than a decade.

Left alone that most people in the world wouldn't be able to save such amount in a whole life. That's why I think that, apart from rare cases where the players waste big amounts, lottery is a beautiful game where, with very little money, you can achieve great things in terms of positively dreaming about a dear life.

Ayer ha entrado en vigor, tras la correspondiente publicación en el BOE, el Real Decreto 729/2023, de 22 de agosto, por el que se aprueba el Estatuto de la Agencia a la que hago referencia en el título de este hilo.

¿Qué os parece esta noticia? ¿Veis necesaria la creación de dicho Ente? ¿Para cuándo una Agencia Española de Supervisión de las criptomonedas? Está visto que el hype de la IA está siendo bastante más heavy que el de las criptos.

993  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Something like ebay, but with crypto payment on: September 04, 2023, 04:56:30 AM
Hi guys,
Do you know if exist something like ebay, but based on crypto?

You may need to be more explicit. Do you have an idea you wish to put up and just trying to survey if such idea has already been implemented? If this is the case, if you come out plainly, two things will happen. You will get better recommendation And or you will get partners who may be willing to work with you. What exactly do you want or has that been answered already?

He already mentioned that he is not only interested in buying, but also in selling. Although other members have recommended different platforms here, when it comes to selling I'm not sure where he could go, except the marketplace in this forum, like it was already said. Maybe not a really great volume of target buyers, but who knows.

About the buying experience, on the other hand, I only used purse.io once so not really sure, but I can say that bitrefill always works fine.
994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: September 04, 2023, 04:48:10 AM
Community feedback is one of the most important things one should consider before joining a platform because when you see multiple people rating a certain platform, you can have an idea how they actually are and you won't need to join the platform just to test it yourself since you will have to make a deposit for that as well.
I'm not easily move by the bonuses offered by these new casino gambling sites, because it's definitely no use when they failed to meet-up the satisfaction of their clients and making negative complaints at the end of the day. Before a casino or gambling websites become popular and gaining positive functions, our first target is allocating ourselves to the community reviews, understanding there terms and conditions which is the most important aspect. If we find ourselves satisfied with these feedbacks, only then we can try out new sites and casinos, but it's at our own personal risks.


Feedback from other members who already tested different services is the best way to go for me too, but one should never forget to read the TOS thoroughly (and re-read them from time to time), as no one will do it for you. They're not do long and the information contained there is the most important. But yeah, to know about features, limits, etc... the honest reviews from real players is most helpful.

996  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are the differences between these wallets? on: September 03, 2023, 12:49:17 PM
You don't have to go too far from Beginners & Help board, at top you have a sticky thread: Bitcoin wallets - Which, What and Why?

In short, you should use an open source, non custodial wallets. If you can not buy a hardware wallet, you can use free wallet software (should be open source, non custodial wallet) and set up your cold wallet or multisig wallet. Like you can do it with Electrum wallet.


Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

Everything the OP needs is quoted here. Thank you tranthidung for the work searching it and summarizing it here.

IMO, Electrum is the wallet to start with, while you think about purchasing a hardware wallet, but there are other good alternatives too if it was not enough.
997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your perception about crypto games? on: September 03, 2023, 12:44:25 PM
I don't understand very well either what OP means. Maybe he is referring to, linked to this, the idea that if you gamble you gamble and that's it, but if you gamble with crypto your are gambling twice (the play itself, plus the volatility which can make a loss recoverable thanks to other gains or a victory worthless because of a dump).
998  Local / Mercadillo / Re: [AOBT] The Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators on: September 03, 2023, 12:40:33 PM
El problema es que, generalmente, tienes que tener a mano a un proofreader de confianza por cada idioma que demandes, porque si no es prácticamente imposible darse cuenta de que te la están colando. Esto lo hemos visto mucho en las campañas de este mismo foro, y se sigue viendo: ya no solo gente nativa que por vagancia tira de copy-paste de párrafos enteros y listo (y como resultado mining pool = piscina de minado, entre otras perlitas), sino gente que directamente se ofrece a traducirte en 6 idiomas, cual Papa políglota.

En parte, la razón de la idea de que cada traductor de la Alianza fuera activo en su respectivo local board es precisamente ese, porque el propio local board debería actuar como una especie de "control de calidad", probando como poco que el miembro del foro al menos es nativo del idioma que se ofrece a traducir.

Claro! Un proofreader de confianza no sale sino de una reputación bien construida así que puede ser de vuestras mejores fortalezas

En nuestro caso, como decía, ser activo en las respectivas secciones locales debería suponer una prueba de confianza, es por eso que no hay proofreaders como tal, sino traductores "de reserva", por si el traductor principal no pudiera atender algún trabajo.

Very interesting, indeed. Maybe we could ask these questions to new members who want to join the forum, so they feel obliged to DYOR a little bit before posting.

Back on topic, I think that it is a good initiative that should be implemented in other parts of the country and export it to other ones too. Most people have never questioned his level of knowledge in crypto before.

In the case a gambler is addicted to lottery, there is no doubt that he should save the money instead. But in the OP the situation I was talking about was about spending as less as possible to keep dreaming. For instance, in my country, you can bet once a week, for a whole year, for around 50€, which is not a sum that would maje any difference if saved instead. I even mentioned the possibility of being charged about 1€ a year along with other taxes. I believe that most people spend such little amounts when playing lotteries, so I don't think your example can be generalized to them.
