Re: Fiat currency VS Bitcoin
by
Butterfan
on 18/08/2025, 23:07:48 UTC
But I can say that there will come a time when Bitcoin will be the most used currency, because as time goes by, fiat money is decreasing. Now people are afraid to carry paper money and go on the streets because there is a high chance of getting robbed, using Bitcoin is the safest because the passenger sitting next to you will never know if you have Bitcoin.
We are moving towards the future and using modern transactions more, it can be Bitcoin or we complete transactions by numbers, so the use of fiat currency is decreasing.

Nothing stops anyone from having Bitcoin and fiat, know this that Bitcoin can't replace fiat no matter our level of adoption.

Paper money isn't only called fiat, the balance in our banks are part of fiat, there are more electronic banks for fast spending and less charges. I don't believe banks and fiats are getting replaced, Bitcoin remains an alternative for fiat but likely to grow wide for investment purpose.

People are going to use Bitcoin for investment more than they will as currency.

Re: Which is more addicting?

This is why I don't like virtual games because they can make you loss big funds within a few minutes. If you are the type of gambler that cannot control his emotion, you will get addicted fast. Live sportbet is not that addictive, because there are days and time for the matches that you want to bet on. You cannot just wake up in the middle of the night and place your bet on football when there is no ongoing match. Unlike, slot and casino games that are always there for you to play.

Most people lose money when they win a small bet and start thinking, "If I had bet a little higher, maybe I would have won more." This mindset leads them to start increase betting for their spins. If they don't get free spins from normal spins, they'll start buying bonus spins, hoping to win big like they did with their small bets. This is what makes it so easy to lose money faster when playing slots. I completely agree that you shouldn't play slots or any other form of gambling if you can't control yourself. It's just hurting himself.
I disagree since the virtual games could be played at all times and the ease of accessibility may cause difficulty to quit on some individuals. With live sports there are natural breaks between games whereas with slots and casino games there are nothing and there is always an urge to play. Discipline is essential because of that. It does not take long to get pathological once the emotions get involved and start chasing a loss or placing more bets than expected. Gambling is just supposed to be done as a form of fun and entertainment not as a method or making quick fortune but one should learn when to stop otherwise the consequences can be disastrous.

Re: How Fast Should Casino Payouts Be?
by
Butterfan
on 15/08/2025, 12:25:25 UTC
I have seen, and I know you have too, some gamblers complain about how slow withdrawals are at some casinos, and it makes me think, like how fast should payouts be? What is the average time they expect that their payouts should take?
For instance, assume that you have just won big. Would you prefer to have your cash in 15 minutes or is 3 hours or more fine as long as it gets safely in your account? Which one matters most to you, is it speed or just getting your winnings, no matter how long you have to wait?
Well I think the most important thing in gambling is the winning, once your betting slip is green there is nothing to  worry about the time and the rest because is pretty obvious that they would definitely going to credit your account. Because sometimes it might be that the casino network is not strong enough for them to proceed payment so is quite a normal thing. Honestly, this has happened to me many times were I normally end up refreshing my balance but even as that I normally feel free because I know that in less than no time that they would going to credit my account.
To me it is better to get the winnings safe rather than immediately. Naturally, the fast payouts are fantastic but I would prefer to wait several hours or even a day when I would know that the payment is troubles-free and safe. Delays sometimes may occur due to verification procedures or network and that is what the system is. Its as long as the casino is known to be good payers and keeps in communication over any hold ups I believe most players would be able to wait. The reliability of actual payment is what counts and not the rapidity.

Re: Crypto casino gets hacked - are you still expecting a refund?
by
Butterfan
on 15/08/2025, 12:16:47 UTC
It’s a weak reason to that since hacking is a crime which means their reputation might be dragged too once the hacker caught or blackmail them for being the master mind on the hack to other casino.

They will just focus on marketing to beat their competitors rather than resort to hacking that there’s no guarantee that they will successfully penetrate other casino security.

Besides, they just need to focus on their own business if they want to become successful since there’s a lot of competitors that is almost impossible to hack them all at one go.
I suppose that the concept of casinos recruiting hackers would make quite an unrealistic turn since the risk is far too exorbitant. Once they are busted, the reputation that they have built may suffer even more than the loss of a few customers to competition. Confidence is key in this industry and when it is lost, it will be near impossible to regain. In a bid to avoid such risky shortcuts, most successful casinos concentrate on enhancing their games, providing better promotions and ways on how to make players happy. It is a stiff competition, nevertheless it is only smarter to develop your own brand rather than attempt to ruin the others.

Re: Do you still believe Bitcoin can reach $1M? Why or why not?
by
Butterfan
on 15/08/2025, 12:10:45 UTC
Anything is possible and bitcoin will always increase because is volatile. So am very sure that bitcoin will definitely reach $1m and even pass is just the time we are waiting for that Is why we should always invest in time before the price continues to increase, because some always wait the price to decrease before they invest on it and they don't know that they are wasting there time because bitcoin will always increase without waiting for no one. anyone that don't believe that bitcoin will continue increasing don't have any idea or knowledge about it and that is why they will be saying things that we can never satisfy with it.

Bitcoin as be existence for long term now and people have achieved there dreams on it. if bitcoin will be as how they lunch it, know one will benefit from it , but he always increase and many people have trusted it and making many people smile on there investment. Just be patient and invest for long term and you will surely see the benefits of bitcoin in the process.
To some it might seem down right crazy for it to hit 1 million, but when you look at how far it has gotten from it's humble beginnings, it doesn't feel absurd. The secret is doing it patiently and realizing vulntilitty is part of its deal. Those who held on through the ups and downs are seeing life changing gains and that is why it s timing and long term vision that counts more then short term price drops. Bitcoin rewards the people who trust the process; listen, believe in something all the way and there's a great reward you'll get.

Review: My Real Experience

I recently spent some time exploring vave.com and wanted to share my honest experience. I did not make any deposits, though I played in the popular games in demo and got an idea how the platform operates.

First Impressions
The website looks clean and modern. It is fast to load both at the desktop and mobile, and navigations are user-friendly. I had no problem spotting various types of games such as slots and live casino games as well as in-house games. The dark background is friendly to the eye, and this feature contributes to the comfort of the long gaming sessions.

Playing in Demo Mode
I played a couple of popular slots and some of the in-house games such as Crash and Plinko in demo. Games performed smoothly, and I enjoyed the fact that I had an ability to examine the games without any pressure and risk. Demo mode left me a decent impression of the mechanics, graphics, and quality of the game on the whole. It is an excellent method to verify the site when one is willing to play with money.

Site Features
I could also view the promotions area and how such bonuses as the VAVE20FS free spins work even without making any deposits. It is evident that the site is constructed in a way which is meant to enrich new users and frequent players alike. Its Ballet of games is quite good and comprises a mixing of the old-style slots, the live dealers, and the own productions.


Overall Thoughts

In my test through demo mode, Vave Casino can be described as user-friendly, quick, and amusing to browse. You may practice games, familiarise yourself with the rules and get acquainted with the platform without spending a single penny. This is a secure spot to start with in interest of crypto casinos.

Re: gambling while serving the country— is it possible?

Initially, gambling was expected to be seen as a means to why people can come together and have fun, so if in the military camp you discover any form of being entertained there, then it should not be a surprise, because they also need to ease their own self from the struggles in this profession and get entertained in various ways, since most of them may not be able to have access in going to the casino mingling with the civilians, if they gamble together within their territory, i don't think its something bad, after all, gambling is entertaining.
I understand that soldiers also require some means of relaxation and fun but slot machines are an easy way to get into addiction, particularly in a stressful place like being in the military. It is vital to be entertained, however, there ought to be safer ways of entertainment, which would not jeopardize their mental status, as well as finances.

Re: Traders or Gamblers? Most of Us Don’t Know Which One We Are

Misconceptions and the hearsay that they've heard about the business/investment, so instead of taking time to learn things they just push their ways and start their journey, most of those who lean with luck ended up losing a lot, and the experienced that they've got push them away to this venue, it's very important to know the basic and along the way start improving yourself in terms of this investment.
You are correct in that there are a lot of people that go into trading without approaching it as a skill based pursuit. They use chance and feel, rather than adequate enlightenment and plans, which make it gambling. Trading is about discipline, patience and a constant process of learning yet most ignore the step by step doing and run out of money.

Re: Celebrities under fire for endorsing gambling

The celebrities are very influential and lots of youths idolize them, and encouraging gambling would be conveying the wrong message. Although it may be legal, it may still promote unsafe behaviors, particularly to teens that are most inclined to risk taking having little awareness to the consequences. They should also do something positive on their platform and not on something that may end up affecting their audience negatively over time.

Time is the only resource that we cannot buy or earn again, thus how we utilize them is very important. Using it to buy items that can make us better individuals or that can improve our lives is most likely going to pay off in the long term. Each decision we make about how to spend our time has the cost to it, and once we spend our time unproductively, these opportunities probably will not come back. How you spend your time usually translates into future better-skilled, better-health, and better-finances.

Frankly, nobody can ever be certain of a hundred percent. Relationship is founded on trust yet human beings are erratic. You can even trust your partner all you want but things may go on behind your back. This is the reason why communication and being honest is more important than attempting to demonstrate to be loyal. Permanent distrust only ruins the trust and tranquility. Construction of trust is preferable to proving the impossible.

Re: Your sim card is your identity so be careful
by

on 11/08/2025, 13:41:23 UTC
Seriously, people tend to underestimate how unsafe it is to give other people access to their phone or their personal details such as NIN. When your number/information is associated with crime, then it is your headache even though you might be innocent. It is fearful that there are still those people whom will casually provide their sim or NIN without even considering the repercussions. It is far safer to buy that person his or her own sim card or phone credit. Preservation of your identity and phone is actually preservation of oneself against the hassle that one did not initiate. This is something which everyone ought to take seriously.

Re: Got scammed in crypto- What lesson did you learned?
by
Butterfan
on 11/08/2025, 13:36:58 UTC
Particularly true is the central claim that scams are a game of cat and mouse in which new strategies are constantly being developed. As you correctly point out with research alone cannot guarantee your safety. Scammers use psychological traps to target victims and then double scam them so your advice to be less greedy and to never try to recover stolen assets is essential.
And you are dead right that greed is the primary cause that makes people fall into scams. Just because you learn the scams of yesterday, there are more to appear and they can never be sure to 100 percent safe. Never divulging your wallet seed, never clicking on random links should be obvious but essential. It is also prudent to have a different wallet when doing giveaways, giveaways are used as bait usually. Attempting to recover stolen money tends to only complicate matters further and as such, it is advisable to instead think of prevention. The only way to keep oneself safe in this game is actually to keep one cautionary and to not get consumed by greed.

Re: Is it good to take decisions when one is angry?
by
Butterfan
on 11/08/2025, 13:25:48 UTC
I would even go further and add one is not supposed to make choices when extremely happy either, because both happiness and anger can both fog common sense, before we realize it, we could have committed a very serious mistake or misstep.
It is a definite fact that anger does blur judgment and creates decisions that individuals come to regret in life. One should think and relax before responding even in a situation where the feeling is strong. Your description of anger converting people into doing outrageous things actually highlights the detriment that we can have by making rash decisions. And you are right the exuberance of being too happy also can mess up thinking. Good and bad emotion can get our perceptions skewed and making big decisions on emotions can be really unwise, so going slow would be prudent.

Re: Lack of full knowledge could lead to lost of Assets in trading
by
Butterfan
on 11/08/2025, 13:20:44 UTC
If a trader can apply his strategy in the way you explained about trading psychology, he will continue to be profitable. I recently implemented a strategy that has made me profitable and greatly reduced the chances of losing money. An example of this is that I buy multiple coins at a time when the price subsequently decreases but a week later when the price recovers and a small profit is made, I sell most of the coins at that time. In some cases I have to sell at a small loss/profit because it is better to have a small profit than to have a fund portfolio in the long term. I think this could be a trading psychology because your profit will be small but in the long term the capital will not be tied up in the fund that you have allocated for short term trading
Being able to control your emotions and stick to your definite plan is the real help never to suffer great losses and remain able to be a profitable trader. It is disciplined to buy up a number of coins to diversify and sell when the least profit is obtained. In some cases it is worth to take the little loss, or even a small profit, as opposed to taking too much risk and being a late winner. It is the continued gradual controlled trading, like this that leads to long-term success as well as flexibility with your capital to find new opportunities. It is definitely a good illustration of a sound trading psychology being applied.

Re: Trump's policies only helping the billionaire class
by
Butterfan
on 11/08/2025, 13:14:15 UTC
The wealth imbalance is mostly down to the economics failure in fiscal policy.   If we had stuck to hard currency it would not allow governments to overspend so easily nor issue new currency helping to make their populations poorer and require constant pay rises just to keep neutral within their prior earnings .
  The reason all of that goes on is misunderstanding and misdirection, inflation can be labelled on retailers for example who allow such prices and the argument being as if they created the price rise, etc.  You could say this is a fault of democracy perhaps but it seems barely anyone will point at weak currency as the ongoing cause of imbalance in economies.
When the governments are able to simply print more money, it destroys the purchasing power and increases prices that are most harmful to ordinary citizens. It is not seeing the wood for the trees to blame retailers when it comes to inflation. The concept of adhering to a hard currency is austere but has the capability of curbing this type of overspending and inflation. The fact is that not a lot of people can find the links between the unstable currency and the disproportioned economy, most likely due to uncertainty and the simplicity of choosing to blame other things. Democracy may slow down the opportunities to address such problems by higher speed, yet the knowledge of the core causes is the point considered to be the first.

Yeah doge and shib really blazed the path and it is amazing doge went from almost nothing to a quarter even with such a humongous supply. However, as you mentioned, most memecoins are speculative with a lot of rugpulls, so the earlier you catch them the better it is concerning any benefits. Social media trends and volume is another consideration I make before getting in as well, and hype is never enough. I trade memecoins, but infrequently perhaps only when something seems potential and the figures support it. It is thrilling but is certainly not what you should ever find yourself doing blindly.

Re: $XRP is never going to $100

This kind of prediction can only come from daydreamer who has never stop dreaming that altcoins will make them billionaires over night, even if xrp will climb to $100 will it magically jump from $3 to $100? They are not even hoping for the price to at least get to $10 or more before they expect such high price. Surely that's not happening in this bull season and not even anytime soon.
those folks dreaming of upsizing themselves to billionaires overnight by investing in altcoins are usually neglecting the way that markets work. It is unrealistic to expect to move three dollars to a hundred without any gradual development first. All those large leaps are not typically overnight, nor even within a single bull season. The thing is that it is better to have a more grounded expectation and concentrate on slow but steady gains instead of praying that some impossible moonshot should come.

Re: your bitcoin is not yours.
by
Butterfan
on 11/08/2025, 12:55:39 UTC
one way is writing off your bitcoins as not yours. that money is not yours to spend. just forget about it. the more you look at it, the more you will just want to sell it especially when you see the value of bitcoin.

do you also do this and does it really work for you?

To invest in Bitcoin, you must have confidence in yourself, and you must have high income growth so that there is no pressure on my Bitcoin investment. But it is also true that when you look at your Bitcoins again and again, the shortcomings will float around you like a movie, which means that good deeds are repeatedly hindered. So I want to say that you must not look at Bitcoin investment lightly and just think about investing, if you can maintain your Bitcoin investment in this way, then you are definitely successful.
Looking at Bitcoin investment again and again is foolish, because the more you look at the saved money again and again, the more often you may think of selling your holdings.

I believe it can be helpful to forget about your bitcoins and take some period of time. Being in control over the price all the time may create some anxiety and a feeling to sell when it is not the good time. Thinking of it as money you will not need very soon eases the hold over the ups and downs. The pressure is definitely lessened with confidence and other income to fall back on so you do not have to sell due to temporary changes. It is also a fact that, the longer you stare down the price, the more doubts and worries will be generated and that is something that will cost you in the long haul. So take a courageous breather and put some distance between you is one good way of not getting flustered.
