Re: Don't Cap Bitcoin: The Game Never Ends

I don't think something as BTC would be created in the near future - everyone chases profit, not something idealistic or an idea of sorts, or a good set of ideas.

(Unfortunately..)
Every developer is now focused on how much they can make from their project and which influence they can get over it, and not what it can offer to humanity. At least that’s the impression that we have seen from all the projects that have been developed by new teams. But for the future, we can’t tell if this could be something like that; we can only be open-minded and accept it if there ever be, and not entirely say it can’t be.

Re: WOO X trading platform has been hacked with 9 users lost money

Just 9 users, $14 million lost, and not even all their funds in that exchange. According to the statement, some of the withdrawals were blocked. Assuming all went through, how much could we have been talking about here? That amount stolen is higher than the exchange's 24-hour average trading volume. I don’t know how much they have in reserve, but that statement they made that all affected users will be covered is just a damage control statement, if you ask me. People take a whole lot of risk to leave this kind of money in exchanges. What for, if I may ask, since they are not instantly trading it?

The issue is not how long the wallet has been lost. Where the issues lie is what amount of information the owner can provide in other to restore the wallet. With the right information, any wallet can be recovered easily for the wallet recovery services whether old or recent wallet, but when the information is not too clear it becomes a problem and it will take longer for them to recover the wallet. And yeah, the expenses will increase because the recovery service will demand more money to do that.
This is exactly why there are no fixed charges for wallet recovery service, as I have read. Either the charges will be calculated based on the amount of money they recover or the amount of time and stress the wallet caused them to recover it, and the amount of information the wallet owner is able to provide, which will make everything easier. Easy and stress-free work will definitely cost less compared to recovery that costs both time and expensive tools to achieve.

Re: When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?

If we are talking about sport, I don’t just go with the odds; I go with what I think I can secure my winning. Even as at the end, the chance of winning is always under probability. When analyzing your game, there are times you choose a team with higher odds to win based on the data you have available. If that happens, you don’t only win, but you are also lucky with a higher multiple.

Lesser odds have always appeared and presented to us in such a way that we are convinced they give a higher chance of winning than big odds. However, the chances of both should be treated the same way; as long as it’s still a game, we can’t control the outcome.

Re: Old Multibit Classic & Schildbach Bitcoin Wallet Recovery Services

Talking about market, it's a total different thing to trusting a company ability in showing capacity and competency in what they do, so for popularity they should be going for a signature campaign, but for everyone in this forum to have a clear idea of their ability before hand they should go for a review campaign, because it's true a review campaign we can attest to their services through the feedback of those that participated in the review, but in my own opinion, I think that they should go for a review campaign first before thinking of a signature campaign.
Talking about the review campaign, how do you propose this is done? Since it’s all about wallet recovery for users who have an old wallet to which they have lost access, who would agree to offer it for use in test running the review before a public, honest publication about their own experience. This is not just like an exchange or platform where anyone can just make use of the service and conduct their review based on the experience they got from the website. I get your point and understand how reviews can help determine how a service works, but in this type of service, I just wonder how it can be done.

Re: your bitcoin is not yours.

If you have it in mind to hold your coin, you can, as many as you can, take the access key away from your reach where you will need to rethink each time you want to spend it and leave only your watch-only wallet in your device so that it will be easier for you to monitor and fund if you want to.
Holding your coin for a long term requires a lot of determination and you can only achieve that if you make plans and have back up plans for funds that can be used to take care of emergency needs when they arise you don't necessarily need to keep your access key away from you when you can misplace it if it stays long before accessing it. You can hold your coin for a long term without selling from it all you need is to have the mind of a holdler which is the buying mindset and not touching when it is not needed.
The mind of a hodler is the key to long-term holding, and anyone who doesn’t have a good-paying job is not even supposed to be talking about holding. Those unforeseen circumstances that will come when you least expect them can make you spend your holding without thinking twice about them if it appears that it’s the only source of money that can reach that moment. Safekeeping your key and keeping it close to you is also a personal decision depending on what the person thinks is best to help hold for the long term; that’s what they are going to do. Every option has its own merit and demerit.

Yeah, these things do exists but the presentation to new accounts is what really doesn’t happen although, we many at times find these new accounts to know just how to navigate the forum and you wonder how, if they’ve been around as a guest or more. We only get complaints a few times when they get their threads deleted or when they make some of those generic “I’m new here” thread and the responses is not what they hoped for.
Since there are also other forums out there which some of the newbies might already be used to and familiar with, it could be that their experience from there has made it easier to know their way around when they are here. There are some newbies that appear very informative, but at the same time they might lack a few knowledge, which with time they will adapt to and can easily be noticed and differentiated from someone who has been here before and the one who is entirely new to the forum.

The 20% is used as a reference and depends on how much is in the wallet. There are instances it could be different from what I saw in one of their publication. The fee is fair to me and I'm sure anyone with no hope of getting his money from the wallet will happily pay 20% of the amount instead of losing everything unless the person is greedy which is not good.
20% is actually among the fee charge rate, which was why I talked about it earlier in one of my comments above. But as long as someone has seen an opportunity to get their money out from where it has been hanging, 20% off the amount is even too small to start thinking about if the fee is high or not. All that will matter most at that time is first trusting the service provider if they can actually take their percentage and return the rest to the owner. If the trust and reputation are there, then it’s an easy decision.

Re: tell me a slots game that you had most wins.

I have been exploring slot games recently in different casinos, and the one that I have had the most winnings, which I shared in a thread this week, was POP ZEN. It was the first time I tried the game at one of the popular casinos in this forum. I was lucky enough to secure a good win; it might be a small amount, but considering the money used to do the staking, I consider it high. It was with a minimum bet of $0.2, and I bought a bonus of $20, which the winnings gave me about $129+, if not more.

Re: Does the novelty wear off?

on 22/07/2025, 15:17:53 UTC
If you are extremely rich and you can just gamble up to your heart's content, does the novelty of winning wear off? Like would you get tired of gambling since there's really not much risks because you can gamble with any amount and still receive little to no consequences?
Extremely rich, like how much do you consider to be on that table “extreme”? Because unless there is something like unlimited wealth, then the gambler, if not careful, no matter the level of wealth, can get broke.

Thinking there will be no consequences attached to it is wrong; the more they are gambling with a large amount, even if their earnings continue without winning back a corresponding amount, it will get to a point where they will no longer be able to afford their lifestyle.

The gambling system is always more than ready to receive as much as you want to gamble with, but all players have a limited amount.

Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?

Culture is everything, accompanied by social influence. If you are in places where they see gambling as culture, the growth of gambling in that area will be on the high side. Religion is also one thing that has reduced the rate at which many people are gambling, as their religion forbids them from doing that. However, among every reason that has been stated and listed before, the one I don’t always completely agree with is “poverty” as a reason for why people gamble. Anyone can be fully into gambling; the poor are the least people who should think about gambling, as they literally have no money to feed from, talk more of spare to sponsor gambling with.

Re: Which is more regrettable?
by
Hazink
on 22/07/2025, 12:38:48 UTC
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?
Is there anything to regret there? I don’t see any, and betting on a specific number not changing it and not making gestures for other numbers will later turn out to be very boring, even if there happen to be winning sometimes. I would prefer to go with the rotation pattern where I can either be rotating the numbers I choose or I can just randomly be choosing them. Even if my previous number wins in the future when I did not choose it, I won’t regret it; rather I will consider it not to be my lucky day until my own lucky day comes.

Re: BTC as means of payment is a looking more possible than before?

on 21/07/2025, 22:54:28 UTC
many of them consider it more as an investment than a currency

Yeah, i would never touch my stack.

BUT, if it suddenly became commonplace to spend bitcoin, I might from time to time buy a little to specifically spend in a specific store, to sort of support the movement.
Some people buy bitcoin for different purposes, not just for storing alone. If there are available common places where we can easily spend bitcoin, it’s also safer to get a separate spending wallet that can’t be linked to where you have all your stack for security reasons. In case the person attending to you tries to scan the sender's wallet, it’s only smaller amounts that will be inside, and you won’t have to use up something you are holding to give you profit.

Re: Have you been addicted to gambling in the past.

Gambling addiction is something that has grades; there is a level that your addiction can get to where you won’t be able to get out of it yourself. You will need the help of people and even a therapist if need be. If you are still in the early stages, you can easily task and discipline yourself to get over it by just trying as much as you can to distract yourself from anything that has to do with gambling. Success in getting out of addiction is based on determination. If you are not determined, no amount of help from outside can help you out.

Re: Trading business vs. gambling business in crypto

To me, running a financial market always seemed more profitable than running a casino.
But in crypto, is it the other way around? Are casinos making more money than trading platforms?
Both sides of the business are profiting unless the crypto trading platforms come out to tell you how much they make annually, and the casinos also come out to tell you how much they make annually. We will only be speculating, and one thing about business is that all don’t make the same profit.

Your service and what you offer will determine how much you can generate. Some casinos can be making much more than some trading platforms; the same is also applicable with trading platforms making more than some casinos too.

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.
Once you are no longer winning after enjoying that massive multiplier, the game will no longer be the same for you since you are also expecting another win to happen. Instead of that, you end up losing little by little of what you are trying to gamble with, and if you don’t take time, you will spend all the winnings back without securing a new one. You just have to either reduce your wager amount so that the $10 weekly limit might last longer for you.

There was a tweet share raffle which I participated in months ago, and I was credited $30 worth of bitcoin. Ever since then, I was unable to get the amount to the minimum withdrawal until a few days ago. When I was looking for something to keep me busy since sleep was far from my eye, I hit the casino and played different slot games. I tried POP Zen, which I decided to use half of my balance to buy a bonus, and I was lucky enough to hit 600+ multiplier.

Even if one wallet recovery service managed to gain reputation and make a success in recovery, some users stocked crypto; higher fees should not be what they focus on. Instead, they should be more focused on getting more wallets of people open and giving the opportunity to the wallet owner to save their fortune. Fees are necessary, but overcharging is not. A referral reward is also good, as it can attract external and extra earnings for customers. However, this type of service doesn’t usually gain the popularity it deserves unless they have proven themselves to be legit.
Fee is an essential aspect of this work and that is the main reason why we keep seeing people that have knowledge and experience in their field creating their own service even though they have companies they are working for in recovering users funds.
….
Well, if a fee is just the only thing that will be charged, no matter how much the service provider charges, it’s better than losing everything that is inside. There are some people whose assets have been in one place for years with no means of recovery, so if offered a legitimate solution, they will grab it and pay the fee since it’s mostly paid after successful recovery.

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

on 21/07/2025, 13:25:09 UTC
You are right to think about long term future of Bitcoin especially with its limited supply. And after all 21 million Bitcoins are mined around 2140 miners will still exist and will keep network secure and processing transactions but their income will come from transaction fees instead of newly created Bitcoin.

Their earnings will entirely be based on transaction fees, and the fees might likely get even higher than what we usually see in terms of these creators that do NFTs on the network and cause fee increases due to the congestion. Since the cost of mining is expensive, there will be a way for them to do it in order to meet up with the expenses.

Quote
These fees could become higher and new technologies like Lightning Network might help keep them manageable. Bitcoin price will continue to go up and down as it is doing at this time influenced by global economics and how widely it is used but daily trading should still be possible driven by its fixed supply and ongoing demand as valuable asset.
As long as the demand for bitcoin still continues and with institutional investors and government being involved, the price increase is more inevitable compared to how it has always been, as the supply for bitcoin is just too small compared to the demand for it, which is rapidly increasing as time goes on.

Re: your bitcoin is not yours.

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?
One thing that led to some people forgetting about their bitcoin wallet backup where they save it is as a result of them trying to keep it where their mind might not easily recall so as to save and hold it for a long period of time, but it’s a personal choice and something of determination. If you have it in mind to hold your coin, you can, as many as you can, take the access key away from your reach where you will need to rethink each time you want to spend it and leave only your watch-only wallet in your device so that it will be easier for you to monitor and fund if you want to.

Re: Can Bitcoin kill other crypto?

on 21/07/2025, 12:30:57 UTC
Bitcoin was already in existence before all these other altcoins were created. It’s something that’s just there, and some of them actually have a purpose for why they were created. Bitcoin is not there to kill any of them; altcoins are in competition with one another and not with Bitcoin. Meme coins are even the worst to invest in, as there is no special something about them, unless it is just to pump and dump.
Some alts don't search to destroy others too - they all chase goals and usually they don't interfere with each other like that, people just love comparing and doing that stuff because it makes good headlines and overall is a good narrative to push for to spike the minds up.
You are also correct, but if we look at most of the projects out there and their pattern, you will notice that what they usually talk about is making something better. Where they think a particular network is not doing fine, they offer a better service, like in terms of fees, fastness, and many others. This is one of the reasons why we have so many smart chains and layer 2 projects because they want to make things better.
