Re: Trying to replace Bitcoin in the long run in life.

I'm still very much unable to understand what you mean by Binance and other altcoins and shit coins, or if you are referring to BNB or the exchange itself.

Anything that we want to do as holders first is to have money to invest, money to settle our bills and a stable source of income, and a holding plan can be made easier if the above-listed things are made available. Determination of how long the person wants to hold is the next thing that's going to be worked on.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.

This is a tough one.  On one hand, if the win is big enough and it could help the family it is hard to turn down free money.
Let's spice it up a bit if we are still in scenario mode.
What happens that after your successful withdrawal and you check the betting history, you realize you have cash-out $20 000 but your dumb kid has somehow managed to get hold and lose $40,000 during his gambling adventure?  Grin
Then it's no longer free money. This is why they said gambling is not profitable in the long run. If after checking history such a scenario occurs, the only thing that will still be done based on the OG's early statement is to take what they can get and reduce how much the kid has eventually lost, but come to think of it, that amount being wagered, if profit is removed and it's all deposit, the child will have to answer a query about how he was able to get hold of such money to use it for gambling.

Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?
by
Orpichukwu
on 22/07/2025, 18:34:28 UTC
Another reason why some countries gamble more than others is economic or national recession. When the economy of a country is damaged and people are finding it hard to get by especially when jobs opportunities is minimal and scarce people would turn to gambling as a means of livelihood but at the long run they would get into more trouble as a result of gambling with the expectation to get rich from it
This also contributes to an increase in gambling activities between countries, but when a country is down on job opportunities, their economy is also worse than the other countries. Are the people there not supposed to focus on skilled jobs and self-development in order to be able to raise something for themselves?

Another thing that contributes to the increase in gambling activities in different countries is the mentality that is common there; if the people are convinced that they can get miracle money from gambling and escape poverty, they will likely get involved and focus on gambling instead of doing other things that can fetch them money.

Re: [ALERT] Pace of P2P Scam on Exchanges is Increasing Part 2

some traders might not really care, but this is not just about the person; they also do this to others. Before the end of a day, they can easily scam someone or even more than one person.

Some may actually not care, but if its not tackled now, they will keep doing it and more people are going to be cheated under their attempt for scam, it was because they have tested it to see how some already fall a victim before deciding to continue, now we have to make others get the necessary awareness on related routes to scam in this manners.
The awareness is indeed necessary; it will help make many aware of this type of trader on P2P, and the more people are aware, the more their attempts will continue to fail, and it will start discouraging them from doing it if they see that fewer people or no one is falling victim to that, their pity, and whatever excuses they use to deduct and reduce the amount they are supposed to send to the seller just to be gathering them up.

This topic is something we can't get off easily without a debate. I have read a lot of comments and your opinions, everyone giving their own reason as to why they will do what they will do, and the majority are going with the option of trying to get the money out first since it's their kids money we are talking about here. Which we also need to look at some other things while making a decision, since it's already an event that has happened; you can't stop it, but the decision which you as the parent take afterwards will play a very major role in the type of parent you can be addressed as.

If you also support your child by providing your identity for verification, it could also be seen as identity theft, as it's clear you show support for that. On the other hand, again, if you don't do it, your child loses the money, which is also somehow unfair since the casino has been taking it from the child through his losses.

The decision we are going to make if we find ourselves in such a situation is never going to be easy to decide until that very moment; everyone will give reasons to justify their decision, and it's understandable only to them and not to the law.

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

on 22/07/2025, 12:30:01 UTC
At times I feel this topic ends up being in similar lines to the doomsday cults. We are thinking about a future that will take long to happen than our average lifespan.

Hence for now just concentrate on collecting bitcoin and not what those bitcoin will be worth.

If you need to then sell coins for fiat currencies.

But dont get stuck in the loop of analysis-paralysis of the future.
Exactly, we should focus more on what we can get our hands on and not things that will happen when we are no longer here to benefit from them. Before the last bitcoin is mined, the majority of us Bitcoin will no longer be what we will be talking about, for now that the asset is massively gaining attention, the best thing to do is enjoy whatever benefit we can as holders and allow the future to take care of itself.

Re: Chances to buy Bitcoin back

Bitcoin availability will always be there each time you want to make a purchase. The question should be if you will be able to meet the price below what you have sold and how long it will take before you see a buyback opportunity. And what if the market decides to be all positive after you have sold out? Are you ready to accept your decision of selling early and buy back with a higher price, or will you just stick around watching the market move forward in a way you didn't predict?

Re: What is the best way to gamble?
by
Orpichukwu
on 21/07/2025, 22:42:31 UTC
Right, if we start gambling with the goal of getting rich, it can eventually destroy itself. when we choose to gamble to get rich, gambling will become an addiction. greed destroys people and excessive greed can lead to gambling addiction. we can gamble for fun, not expecting to get rich or build a house by gambling. before planning to gamble, we should take time to think and decide on a specific amount of money and time. we should gamble with the money we can afford to lose. when we have the goal of gambling for fun, we will have self-control over ourselves, we will be able to stop ourselves at the right time and continue gambling.
You gamble for fun. You can still get addicted. You gamble for profit, which can also make you get addicted so easily and faster. The only way is to get yourself prepared before even starting, know your purpose, learn about self-control, and never allow yourself to start chasing your losses, as that one is even one of the worst-case scenarios, as it is hard to get out of it once you start chasing since the amount lost will keep on increasing.

Re: Casino welcome bonuses
by
Orpichukwu
on 21/07/2025, 22:14:59 UTC
Most people will be baited into registering into a casino and playing their games because they saw an offer of great prizes and bonuses but once they are done playing they will realize how they weren't able to fully maximize the prize or bonus they were promised in the first place. Either way, the casino already got whatever they wanted which is to get more people to register and play. The question of whether they will keep playing is a different conversation but getting people to play at your casino is result of a successful promotion.
What will determine if the people that were convinced to gamble in the casino will continue gambling there or not is based on the experience they get while they visit the casino. Even if it's not entirely possible to meet up with all the promised rewards, there is something that can still keep some of the players with that casino, and the few among all the new players will be able to get out with great rewards, and they will continue to gamble there and can still indirectly refer others to come.

Mine was from early exposure to gambling, which was how I started gambling, if I remember correctly, and the reason why I still gamble once in a while is to try out new games and new casinos, and the hope that I can win something out of it is also the reason why I still continue, and as long as the money is there, sometimes it's a bonus, which I usually use for gambling, trying to push my luck hard.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
by
Orpichukwu
on 21/07/2025, 20:38:34 UTC
No - in fact from the start I would not allow him to gamble or try to gamble, so that kind of case will not happen. I don't want to be another person who allows their underage children to gamble instead of preventing it. Underage gambling is prohibited and should not be done under any circumstances - but perhaps some parents might consent to KYC documents if there's a large win waiting to be withdrawn.
What you are saying is that in a situation where you are aware, you can stop the child from gambling, and it will not get to that point again where there will be a need for you to offer your details for KYC verification, but now that you are only finding out when the child has already gotten a winning, it's left for you to either offer to pass KYC and get the winning out, or you abandon it because of your principle.

Supporting underage gambling is when am aware that the kid is gambler and I didn't stop him or her. In this situation, I was not aware that the kid was secretly gambling, therefore if they had a massive win, instead of letting the money to waste, I will offer to let them use my details to pass the KYC but after withdrawing the money, I will keep it in a savings account for the kid until he or she comes of age and I will also make it a duty to stop the kid from every gambling activities since am now fully aware of their gambling activity. I will make sure to deprive the kid from gambling until he or she is 18+.  Another method I could use to handle such a situation is to deprive the kid from gambling and let the KYC hanging like that until they get to 18+ when they can have their IDs and pass the KYC.
Your last idea is not favorable if you ask me, because you can't predict what will happen to the casino from now till when the child will reach the age of majority before using his documents to pass the verification, and even if that happens, it's very likely that the casino will also detect that during the time that the money was won, the child was an illegal gambler, and they can deny the child the withdrawal since it's against policy for an underage child to gamble.

There is difference between supporting something and event that has already happen. If it's by law, the money belongs to the child and since the parent is responsible for everything the child does, then parent has a very valid reason to stand for any responsibility that comes after and as for the KYC, there is nothing wrong but for gambling, the parents has the right to take any action against their child, it's left for the parent to correct their child for the wrong doings.
I get your point; if it's by law, the money belongs to the child, but if we also follow the same gambling law properly, the child has violated the casino policy, and it is found the money will no longer belong to the child, which is what also makes the issue a bit more complicated, since it's an event that has already happened. Offering the help, which is something almost all parents will do, is a must, but that's also somehow robbing the casino.

Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.

This thread reminds me of the argument I was having a few days ago.

When we talk about minors not being allowed to gamble, it's a general rule everywhere, not just in some countries, so if a child who is below 18 years has been gambling without the knowledge of the parent and he or she happensto win an amount which requires advanced KYC to be passed, if the child uses his real ID card, it will be noticed that he's not yet of age.

As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?

Re: Am I a bad father for letting my daughter gamble?
by
Orpichukwu
on 21/07/2025, 19:37:31 UTC
Well I'm not trying to judge him but for a father to allow his underaged kid to gamble is very wrong even though she's very close to the gambling age but he's supposed to allow her get to the required age before doing that if he could allow that it means he'll likely allow her do other stuffs that's not required of a minor which is very bad. How will he feel is she ends up becoming addicted at that tender age.
If the child was not his, it could have been said that he allowed the girl to gamble even as she's not of age, the reason being that it's not his daughter, but this one. Since the girl is already gambling, even if he tries to stop her, the girl can still gamble behind his back, but there is no harm in trying. And given her this kind of advice, rather than to embrace and support her in that which she's doing, it's not just about gambling; such a decision will have a great effect on the child.

We have plenties of way to earn money in crypto, and why shall we do such criminal activities?
Those who have morals won't be able to do such activities, but the ones who lack them are many on the street, which is why such types of scams exist. There are many ways to earn from crypto, but only a few are patient enough to familiarise themselveswith one. Some choose the fast cash-out way, which is this token creation and rug-pulling scam. It's simple for them; they make money at the expense of another persons loss.

Reason i am writing this: When Elon is tweeting an acronym or a name, he is not tweeting about your random token that's gaining attraction. Tokens are created because people want to cash in on something he says and sometimes those tokens with same name are created beforehand by coincidence.
That's no longer news; that has been happening a lot, and X tweet is the perfect place they use for such things. Not just with Elon, most of those scammers operating the bot. If you check on Dexscreener, you will see new tokens being created with hype names like that every day.

When the $trump token was launched, many who are familiar with such patterns did not take the token seriously, as it was just like some random pump and dump something using the hype, which it was actually a pump and dump token, but it was done by the name owner who took advantage of community trust.

on 21/07/2025, 15:01:13 UTC
P2P is just getting scary these days. The little fast trade we do for small money is what they are turning into something else. If the money is very small, some traders might not really care, but this is not just about the person; they also do this to others. Before the end of a day, they can easily scam someone or even more than one person.

The moment I see a complaint from any buyer, I give you a straight warning, and once you pay me below what you are supposed to pay, I don't even waste time; I report the trade ASAP so that they will know that I don't have patience, and even when the balance is sent complete, I still will delay the release of the coin so that next time, if they keep a record of seeing my order, they will behave well.

Re: Bitcoin does not discriminate

on 20/07/2025, 19:22:31 UTC
This is exactly part of the reason why Bitcoin was developed—to remove all this type of restriction in terms of making payments. There is no discrimination whatsoever that can be done to it; let the service just accept Bitcoin, and then you are good to go.

After reading your story. I can take a conclusion if your title is click bait. I meant it's the domain site who discriminated you from using their service because you came from restricted region, then you jumped to the new domain site that allow your region. So you can buy your domain.

It has nothing to do with bitcoin and discrimination.  Huh Huh Huh
If there was a link or name of the hosting site mentioned in the content of this thread, I could have also thought it was clickbait or shilling for a particular service, but this one is just to attract the attention of readers to the thread, with no other side benefit that I can see or link to it, but since it's just a post praising Bitcoin, I don't think it's more or less harmful.

Re: Don't Cap Bitcoin: The Game Never Ends
by
Orpichukwu
on 20/07/2025, 17:22:23 UTC
Many people see Bitcoin as an investment and nothing more. They give Bitcoin a business approach and will always project profit which will lead to speculations about the future price of Bitcoin. Just like OP rightly pointed out, Bitcoin price cannot be capped because it has the potential of getting to any price in the future. A few years ago, most price predictions were $100k, and Bitcoin has broken that barrier. So we might start seeing another prediction and I am sure that Bitcoin will still exceed it.
Its price is actually capped? To me it's not, since every season or section has a speculated price that they expect Bitcoin to reach and break; it's all about seasonal expectation and nothing more than that. The more Bitcoin reaches new heights, the more likely the speculated amount will also increase; that's how it has just been projected. There has never been a price limit for Bitcoin that anyone said it can't pass; as long as the ecosystem is alive and humanity still values it, the price is unlimited.

Re: 1 Million Enough?
by

on 19/07/2025, 22:16:11 UTC
1 million Naira is about $650 and if you're to use that in trading after you have gotten the required knowledge needed to do very well in trading then you can easily turn that into a big amount. You can also invest that amount into Bitcoin and in the next 10 years, you should be having more than $6500 if Bitcoin was to do a 10x from the current price. Everything is possible when investing in Bitcoin with trading or hodling but it all depends on you the investor and the time you want your profits to come. Don't say quick because that's not always a good investment. Quality investments takes time to generate better profits therefore I'll recommend you invest and wait.
No matter how good one is with trading, they cannot be winning their trade all the time and be making sure of profit, so while talking about how much that the $650 can be raised to, we should also add the possibility of also losing that amount. I prefer to do the second option, which is to buy and hold bitcoin for as long as 10 years, which will take a lot of determination before that one can happen, but it's much more with lesser risk than trading.
