Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?
by

on 24/07/2025, 20:33:27 UTC
1. Support from the government.
Countries who gamble a lot has solid laws protecting their players so gamblers in those countries can just freely gamble as much as they want without having to worry about their rights. This doesn't mean that the countries have very free and loose rules but it just means that they have clear frameworks. Some other countries have some limitations but since their rules are clear, many still gamble.

Let me add this for you

No economic support from the government
In a country where the citizens, especially the active Labour force struggle for survival due to lack of employment opportunities, lack of basic amenities and little or no incentives or credit facilities to motivate and encourage young entrepreneurs and business people, a good number of the citizens will gamble for money whether the government supports them or not with some good gambling regulations.

One thing about these governments that don't support their citizens economically is that no matter the hardship, they will legalise gambling so they can generate revenue from these gambling platforms. Apart from that, there is nothing much they do again. Corruption is just the norm over there. Sadly, quite alot of poor gamblers are addicted, yet nothing is done about it.

Re: What is been professional like to you?

Before now, I also used to think in my head that a professional is determined by how often he wins. Thinking deeper, I don't think these thoughts of mine are wrong, because anyone who wins often is assumed to have mastered the skills involved in gambling. It is not something we see often, so if you can make it happen, then I consider you a professional.

But on the other hand, there is more to being a professional than just winning; A good  risks management skill, bankroll management, time management and every other thing that shows professionalism.

Re: The Harsh Truth: Losing Your Keys Means Losing It All Are You Ready?

There is nothing we can do if a disaster happens that might likely lead to the loss of our private keys. No method of storage is 100% secure. All we can do is ensure that no other person gets access to them without our authority and that we don't lose them ourselves. If we can do this, we should relax and go about our normal businesses. Sometimes, we cannot be too careful, unforeseen circumstances can happen at any time and take us unaware.

Re: Should I depend solely on Bitcoin?

on 24/07/2025, 13:50:32 UTC
A friend of mine just got into Bitcoin, lucky for him, his successful. Before he started Bitcoin, he was actually into a good business of selling artwork which wasn't so bad. So he got introduced to Bitcoin and had a quick success. It's actually a good and exciting thing to see someone progress fast like that, but he quit selling artworks and other little businesses that kept him going he stopped, he now depends fully on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king no doubt, but From my Point of view I think that depending fully on it might be risky to you financially. I don't recommend anyone to depend solely on Bitcoin or any single asset. Bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly and market volatility might impact your financial stability. It is actually very risky to invest in a single asset. The part that scares me the most is that my friend has put all his resources into this one asset. If am wrong please correct me. Thanks
Here are the implications:
Relying solely on your bitcoin investment can put you in a position where you either end up in losses or with very little or no profits at all. Such a decision will not be favourable during the bearish season where you are supposed to be accumulating bitcoins instead of selling off your bitcoins at unfavourable prices just to make ends meet.

The emotional stress of investing what you cannot afford to lose is another big issue. With the impacts of volatility, seeing your investment fluctuate can be mentally exhausting. It is never adviceable to put all your eggs in one basket.

Re: Most Gambling Countries

Here are some information am able to gather after going through a search on the most gambling countries in Africa, am surprised at what i saw, to my greatest surprise, Nigeria being the least among other countries in Africa being listed, when i thought in terms of population and the likes should be the lead, many other underdeveloped countries and having more severe economy problem to have made their citizen found gambling as an alternative to livelihood, because i expected that Nigeria should still leading, which means, in Africa, We are far more better in many aspect.

https://www.geopoll.com/blog/report-betting-in-africa-2024/


I'm also surprised that Nigeria is the least among all of them with the way a lot of things are happening with a lot of Nigerians, cases of suicide, theft and other insane things as a result of gambling addiction...Well, maybe there are things that are going on as a result of gambling addiction in other countries we are not aware of as a result of  gambling addiction that's why they are topping the charts.
I usually don't trust some of this information on the internet. How did they arrive at this statistics? I believe thorough research was not made, this is just the result of a few random samples. This does not in any way reflect reality. I won't be surprised seeing poor, underdeveloped and developing countries topping the chat of the most gambling countries because the citizens will always look towards gambling due to unemployment and underemployment. Consequence of a failed government.

Re: want to know btc in the future.....

Talking about miners; the duties of a miner is not limited to just mining. Yea they get rewards for mining, but there are other benefits they gain by sticking around performing other duties.

Every time we initiate transactions, miners validate those transactions and ensure no double-spending occurs. They still go ahead to add this transactions to a block and then add the block to the blockchain. The transactions fees we are charged goes to the miners. Our only concern should be that when all the bitcoins are mined and miners no longer get rewards, they might likely shift their attention to transactions fees and charge higher fees. We really shouldn't bother about this because we might not witness this period when there will no longer be bitcoins to mine.

Maybe by the time these unmined bitcoins will eventually be mined, this guys can change their names from miners to something else that suits the job they perform in the Bitcoin network, especially in ensuring decentralization goes smoothly.
I would assume the transaction fees will be enough for them to survive, not like they are only working for the mined ones right now anyways. But we need to figure out a way to make this better, to convince them, because they are not making much even now, but assume they do, they won't make much in the future at least.

So either price has to be insanely high, so that low amount of bitcoin be fine, or we need to figure out a way to pay them a lot while we pay less. maybe bigger blocks could be reason, that way, they get more, while we all collectively pay for it and not individually. In any case we need to figure out a way, maybe mine isn't great but we need to make sure that we find a way to pay them more some other way.
Do we really need to worry about this? Everything about bitcoin mining will be over in the year 2140, how many of us will be alive then to even think about other means to compensate miners for the job they do. That should be the least of our worries right now. Everything will sort itself out when bitcoin gets to that stage. Let the generation that will be around that time worry about it, not us.

Re: How do you see slots game?

I recently hit a crazy multiplier x5601 on Sweet Bonanza. Just a small bonus buy and ended up winning $400 after the x1000 bomb dropped and hit. I’ve been enjoying it since then, though I don’t spend a lot of hours playing.

But ever since that win, it kinda feels like I’m slowly giving the money back. Been losing around $10 a day for the past week. I’m still in profit, but honestly, I’m starting to lose the excitement. The game doesn’t feel the same anymore.
That's slot game for you mate  Grin, no real strategies, just luck and a bit of loss chasing. Take a break bro and enjoy your win so you don’t lose everything. You've already lost your excitement, that's a sign that you should relax a bit with the gambling, don’t try to force it or you might regret it. You don't know when luck is going to shine on you again.

The part where you said a bit of loss chasing is for gamblers who are responsible, slots is one of the most unsafe games on casinos, you can lose everything in a second and you will look dumb.

I have play slot games for two weeks without getting anything back, I just kept losing and losing, but things turned around later and I was able to withstand it because I wasn't risking too much.

This is why I said that slots are best for those who can be responsible around the game, it is you vs luck, there is no room for any strategy or data analysis.
Loss chasing usually starts small and unconsciously. Just like you said, only responsible gamblers can get hold of themselves and realize when they are going overboard. Just like a close friend of mine would say, slot games are like a spirit that takes over you when you least expect it. I wouldn't say he is wrong, greed is that spirit. I have dumped slot games, and I'm not going back there anymore. My experience with slots is worthless.

Re: Bitcoin does not discriminate
by
Floxynice
on 23/07/2025, 14:56:57 UTC
Many of you may not give an F about this but it is important to me due to what I faced just for buying a domain from Africa.

I tried for weeks to get a card to buy a domain, but it was all rejected. I am sure that if the card was owned by a US or EU citizen, the transaction will be processed itch-free. This makes me abandon the hosting site I wanted to use and searched for the ones that accept Bitcoin.Immediately I sent the payment, it was successful. Thanks to Bitcoin that doesn't discriminate whether you are from Asia, Africa, Europe or US.

Bitcoin recognizes everyone as equally important, as the same.

Yes, it is true that Bitcoin does not discriminate against anyone, the problem you faced, since you were able to complete it through Bitcoin, it is great. However, there are problems in paying through cards in different places, but transactions through Bitcoin are never a problem. As far as I know, Bitcoin always benefits everyone equally, Bitcoin never considers rich or poor, but gives equal priority to everyone. If someone has a large amount of Bitcoin, and you have a small amount of Bitcoin, you will get exactly the same importance, Bitcoin's behavior will never be discriminatory.
This is one of the benefits of Bitcoin. Apart from online payments like this, how Bitcoin makes cross-country transactions seamless and very easy is something that is not well talked about.

I can still remember those days when there were not many payment options (maybe there were, but we just didn't know about them). Before a close relative of mine who lives in the US would send money to us in my home country, she would send it through the Western Union payment platform, and we would have to go cash the money at the bank with much delay and KYC. If the money was sent on a weekend, we would have to wait until Monday to get our money.

But with Bitcoin, it's just a few steps and everything is done. No major delays, no restrictions, and no KYC no matter the amount involved. Bitcoin can be said to be a lifesaver in the most stressful and difficult situations.

Re: Which is more regrettable?
by
Floxynice
on 22/07/2025, 23:03:31 UTC
Let's say when gambling, you follow a specific pattern. Let us use lottery for example. You bet on the same specific set of numbers. What would be more regrettable? Betting on the same set of numbers for the rest of your life and not winning or... changing up the set you bet on only for your old set to win?

Basically, would you rather bet on the same thing again and again then regret not exploring more or explore different kinds of bets then miss out on a win?
I am not sure there is anyone who would consistently follow thesame pattern all his life when that pattern is not giving the desired results. After a few unproductive attempts, they will switch to a different pattern. 

The second option is more regrettable. It would have been better that the first pattern didn't win at all that for it to become the goal immediately after switching.

To avoid feeling so hurt with scenarios like this, simply gambling with what one can afford to lose will be the best option. Things like this happen alot in gambling, but we can't hurt ourselves simply because we lost.

Re: Something is far more valuable than Bitcoin.
by
Floxynice
on 21/07/2025, 22:45:34 UTC
Bitcoin made it to a new all time high now and the Internet won't let the masses rest, everywhere is now full with memes about people who faded on Bitcoin years back and those who had Bitcoin but sold for butter.

I am active on Twitter and I see this alot, someone also created a similar topic on here week ago.

Another one was talking anyhow to me this afternoon for not buying alot of Bitcoin at the time but I have few words to say about this just like I told him.

Nothing matters more than your life, not even Bitcoin.

Those people who faded Bitcoin years back choose survival over unnecessary stress.

This doesn't make them stupid, if surving 2017 was all about not having Bitcoin, then so be it, remember, this could be one of the reasons why you are breathing today.

Your 2017 wasn't like my 2017, your 2020 wasn't like my 2020, everyone have different battles they are fighting in those past years and some haven't even won yet.

It is fine to live this life the way you want, many people went extra miles to invest and they don't make it today.

If you are here reading this, congratulations, it means you are alive.

Those who are really grateful for life knows that they lost nothing, because life is far expensive than Bitcoin.

Seize the opportunity if you can, don't go extra miles, nothing will follow you to the other side if your heart stop beating.

Take It Easy.

This post seems to me like you consoling yourself for not buying when others did. Yes life is very valuable but I bet you that many who didn't buy early didn't buy because they were focused on preserving their life; if they were focused on their lives, what then changed now that they remembered to buy, is the life no longer important?

Many, including you and I didn't buy because we didn't trust it them. We never knew it had this much potential. Now that we know, we are investing the little way we can; even with DCA.

Regret is old fashioned. Do your thing and stop taking what other bitcoiners say to you get to your heart. Expect to see news and testimonies about Bitcoin everywhere, even the ones you might not find okay.

Re: Data or Heart? My Sports Betting Strategy for a Straight Win in Soccer

What does referee history has to do with how the outcome of a match would be? This is not one of the things that I can possibly think of while analyzing a match to bet on.
Exactly what I was about to ask, I've never and can never think of the history of the referee when considering my pick on a particular game but I think it's a unique thing to look out for.

Who knows if a referee has a deeper relationship with other club owner or possibly has an affair with some players on the other side too, a bias attitude may arise.
People now bet on cards. Maybe studying the referee who issues these cards would help them make better choices in card betting. We can't really tell what he needs that knowledge for; but no knowledge is truly a waste. Unfortunately, in gambling, your knowledge doesn't guarantee anything, just be a responsible gambler.

Re: Trump to approve crypto investment for Retirement Accounts

Do not forget that they also want tax, and do not forget that they will always want to get them KYCed as well.
For sure the government will know everything of your cryptocurrencies.

I treat people who invest in Bitcoin through 401k is similar to buy Bitcoin ETFs, both need to trust the company who custody it and the government.
Before the government will even consider this idea of introducing crypto, they must have thought about what they stand  to gain and how tax will be applied. For now, we are not even sure if Trump will be introducing Bitcoin or an altcoin. Whatever it is, it is still good news that the government is gradually recognising crypto and allowing people to invest in it without strict restrictions. This is a good way to go for the crypto community. However, I must still add that people be allowed to decide if they want these crypto investment as a retirement plan or not.
