Re: Bitcoin is more preferable when it comes to others coins scheme

Airdrops have for every long time be a waste of time, the recent airdrops are just looking for users to actually promote me then and nothing more, worst of them are actually those referral based ones.

Airdrops way back before 2017 are really good airdrops, since it was the time of discovery, many airdrops just needs an address and a participation post and you got your airdrop coins, unlike airdrops nowadays.  I still remember one airdrop that gives 1 BTC amount of coins to each participant sadly it was too late when I heard of it.  These participants do nothing but post their address, and boom, they got their free coins.

For bitcoin there was nothing like airdrop all I know that the early users got were faucets then from different platforms and this also has died down.

The early faucet claimers are lucky because the amount of Bitcoin given is really huge. I think the biggest amount of BTC given by a Bitcoin faucet is 5 BTC per claim. It was not a huge amount during those time but I wonder if someone had claimed from this faucet and forgot about it, and it has still untouched until today.


The difference between these two is that airdrop is a one-time giveaway, while a faucet can be claimed multiple times depending on the cooling time until the faucet rundry

Salamat sa info, kaya pagdating sa facebook ads talagang ingat na ingat ako sa pagclick, saka kita namang hindi finifilter ng admin ng facebook mga ads nila.  Dapat may responsabilidad ang mga social media kapag nakapagkalat sila ng malware kasi binabayaran sila ng mga hacker na ito para ipromote iyong panghahack nila.

Guys, pag may nakikita kayong ganito na mga ads kahit saan na pag browser niyo, report niyo lang agad. Wag niyo iwasan na patuloy lang sa pag scroll, seconds lang naman yan para ma report.

Sa Facebook madami ako nakikitang ganito pag nag sscroll ako, kasi pag na report natin, makakatulong na din tayo ma take down ito agad agad para wala na may mabiktima lalo na ngayon na bull market.

Heto nga ang nakakalungkot, pagdating sa pagtanggap ng payment sa mga ads ang bilis ng fb pero sa pagcheck kung legit or suspicious ang account di nila ginagawa. Need pa nilang magreport ang users, kapag ganun malamang nakapangbiktima na itong mga ads na ito.  Iyong responsibility to filter ay dapat nakaatang sa balikat ng socialo media dahil sila ang tumatanggap ng mga bayad nitong mga ads na ito.

I think if you call it just “an experience” is kinda undersells mate. it not seems anything harmless to me, although he didnt spent too much time on it but it seems very serious gambling disorder to me even more than sports betting/casino betting, spacially when he is very young guy. seems it is no longer at that level, like just a lesson learned, real harm is awaiting. Yeah you could say he is no longer in it quitting is huge however such shit runs deep. i think this friend could not go through a learning curve, he really needs tools maybe therapy or support group.


If the person is a minor and suffers such shock, I also think that he needs to undergo a full therapy or rehabilitation.  The state of mental shock with a minor often times stays, and unless fixed, it will affect everything in his life.

Maybe you can reach out to him and advise him to talk to his parents about what happened, if you can convince him, then that would be great, but if he doesn't agree with the idea, you can try several times Smiley. Just make it in a friendly manner that won't make him feel uncomfortable

Re: Value bets

Btw choosing value bets on most of your bets will make your account restricted as some casino specifically mention it as unfair.

Yeah, this is the first thing that comes to my mind, a casino platform limiting the accounts that often win with value bets.  What is the advantage of a value bet when the casino restricts accounts that take advantage of that offer? What is the sense of offering them when they are keen on suspending accounts, winning with that offer?  I read a lot of cases where casino suspends accounts worst cases, do not allow the account to withdraw the winning due to these grounds.

Have any of you managed to escape the tidal wave of skin betting? After the virtual casino spiral, how did you regain your boundaries, trust & even your attitude?

I tried this skin betting and it does not suit my taste.  I prefer the bet with money involved.  I do not think this kind of scenario is different from gamblers who lost huge amount of money on a platform.  The bet method is different, but the psychology behind it is the same.

I can say your friend has regained his control when he stops skin betting, to recover from the "shame" of losing money, it will take time.  The secret of moving on is letting go and accepting the losses. If a person has too much pride, it will take some time, but eventually, they will be ok discussing such stuff with anyone.

Re: How do you handle tilt during a losing streak?
by
lionheart78
on 02/09/2025, 23:26:40 UTC
So my question is, how do you personally deal with tilt? Do you stop betting for the day, reduce your stakes, or maybe change sports altogether just to reset your mind? I’d like to hear how different bettors handle this, since losing streaks are really part of the grind no matter how good your strategy is.

In my gambling session, I always have a rule that I will stop my gambling session if I feel that I have won enough or my bankroll is empty.  In case like losing streak, I chose to pause my gambling session for some days to weeks to avoid experiencing too much emotion and frustration due to continuous losing.

I opt to calm down before gambling again to avoid revenge gambling and any sort of chasing losses activities.  I go back to gambling when I  calm down and there is no feeling of frustration or agitation since this emotion will greatly affect my mental state during my gambling activities.

Inaantay ko si Peter Schiff na magbago ang isip dahil panay pambabash ginagawa niya sa bitcoin. Nauunawaan ko naman yun dahil gold bull siya at nasa traditional setting din ang style of investing niya. Pero yung anak niya, parang nabanggit ata na naghohold ng bitcoin. Kaya sobrang bullish sa tingin ko kapag itong tao na ito ay magbago ng isip bigla bigla at magsabi na naghohold na siya ng Bitcoin o di kaya maging $1M ang BTC soon.

Naalala ko iyong isang yt video tungkol sa discussion about Bitcoin titled Impact Theory Interview (March 13, 2024) kung saan guest si Peter Schiff
““Do I wish I had made the decision to have thrown $10,000, $50,000, $100,000 into it? Sure,” said Schiff, adding:

“I may be worth hundreds of millions assuming I didn’t sell but again I don’t know what I would have done had I made that decision.”

Dito makikita ang panghihinayang nya na he missed the early investment.

Inadmit nya rin sa social media noong 2020 na isang pagkakamali ang hindi pagbili ng Bitcoin ng una nyang marinig ito at itong huli noong June 2025  ay inulit nya ang pagsisisi ng hindi pagbili ng Bitcoin ng una nya itong marinig.

Re: Bitcoin withdrawal suspension saga: why self custody is the best
by
lionheart78
on 02/09/2025, 22:41:41 UTC
Firstly I see no reason why someone on this forum that has ranked enough to be in a signature campaign would receive bitcoins directly to their exchange address and worse of it all a centralized exchange. With all the endless threads and discussion about privacy and decentralization I think it's high time many were already properly informed about these things.

I can see the reason behind the use of a centralized exchange address, and that is to save both fee and time when converting their Bitcoin to fiat currency.  Although using a centrlized exchange address in the signature campaign is not wise, it is not forbidden.  Besides, one can't push their belief on someone else, especially when the user truly trusts the exchange.


There are alot of things to be learnt from discussions here and the least and most of recurring of them all is the gist concerning privacy and decentralization.

Yeah, I think the two participants will have a hard time explaining their case on the centralized exchange. I hope they can fix their withdrawal suspension soon.

Re: Filmmaker making a film for Satoshi Nakamoto

Hollywood is now making a film for satoshi nakamoto, who will be starred by pete davidson and casey affleck, the film is expected to be release in 2026 thats next year, will it trigger a bullrun for crypto? we dont know it yet.

Whether this will trigger a bull run for crypto is yet to be seen, but for Bitcoin, it can be hard to trigger FOMO since the Bitcoi market is in a bear trend during this release.  I have yet to see any movie trigger a hype in the crypto industry, if there is, this would be the first time, but I am not very positive on this.

yeah, i'll watch it to see how many things they get wrong about him and bitcoin in general Cheesy
It's not a documentary, so don't expect any accuracy from the film, their main goal on this film is to make the movie interesting and intriguing to make money out of it.

The movie might exaggerate lots of scenes here and maybe most part of the movie are fictional.

Re: Would you adopt Bitcoins flexibility?

on 01/09/2025, 22:10:25 UTC
As Entrepreneurs we get into various business transactions. And consideration must be considered. Having the characteristics of money especially paper money, what's stopping you from accepting Bitcoin for your business transactions?

1. Payment Setup (needs additional expenses for this)
2. Clients/customer (possibly no enough customer using Bitcoin as payment option)
3. Knowledge about Bitcoin ( Lack of knowledge on implementing payment gateway)
4. Fear (fear of messing up the security settings of the payment gateway)

Most people believe in not reinventing the wheel if it is not broken, although the monetary system has lots of flaws, many merchants believe that it is not broken in terms of the payment system so they want to stick with the system that is already proven rather than implementing a new payment option that is new to their knowledge.

Re: Will the Next Generation Even Care About Bitcoin’s Origin Story?

For most of us, the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto and the cypherpunk roots of Bitcoin are deeply fascinating. But I wonder—will the next generation even care about these stories?

Every person has their own interest.  Even in today's event or a decade earlier, many people do not care about Bitcoin's Origin Story.  But if your question is directed to the cryptocurrency enthusiast group, the answer is obvious.  People who are fascinated with Bitcoin will care about Bitcoin's Origin Story no matter how many generations have passed.

But if you ask this question to a group of people who are fascinated with fashion and other things except Bitcoin, they won't care.

Re: Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?
by

It's said about brain that, "use it or lose it" — now, question being, do you think if person plays brainless gambling games such as slots, dice for major part of his/her daily routine, will it make him/her dull?

Edit: "brainless" as in playing gambling games that does not require using brain, I thought it was clear especially given examples.

We have seen several gamblers try to make a strategy to outsmart this "brainless" game.  From that the answer can be seen.  The human mind keeps on working even if one doesn't see it.  A working mind keeps developing, no matter how little it works, so to answer your question whether playing non-skilled games makes us dull is no.

Re: Illusion of control

If you get statistical and logical, you will remove these thoughts and you will not become overconfident or superstitious.

I agree, casinos trap gamblers, then set an illusion through missed wins to think that gamblers can win the game even setting their bet higher just to recover the previous losses, and it becomes a cycle.  Thus it would be harder for gamblers who failed to see the illusion to get out from that trap.

But there is a solution to this: whenever one finds himself chasing losses or chasing wins, he should give himself a break.  This way, the gambler's mind won't be filled with simulations of gambling strategy and will have a clearer view of his situation.  This also spills an ice to a hot pursuit of winning, making the emotion of the gambler calmer.  With a calmer mind and stable emotion, gambler can then slowly uncover the illusion and from that can pull himself out of the illusion and eventually from the trap.

Re: If Winning and Losing Leads to Gambling Addiction, Is There Really no Way Out?

So the question is, "Is there really no way out for gamblers to stay fit and in control?" 

There is and this is dependent on how a gambler control himself.  Self-control is the best way for gamblers to stay in control while not leaving their favorite gambling games.  He must exercise responsible gambling and bankroll management.  Set limiters both in time and in fund.  If any of these limiter is reached, end the session.  This will give a gambler time to divert his attention and do things that will balance out his activity.

Quote
Is gambling addiction inevitable??
 
Gambling addiction can be avoided, it just needs proper management gambling activities.  If one feels he is getting addicted to gambling, he can always pause his gambling activity and divert his attention to somewhere else.  This can help suspend the developing gambling addiction.  It is much better if the gambler can determine the do's and dont's in gambling, this will increase his resistance to gambling addiction.

Quote
If winning and losing lead to addiction, how can we maintain our sanity?

Self-control is the keyword.  Gamble responsibly and ask help if something is amiss.

Re: Does sign campaign payments directly to the casino make you to gamble?

What about you?

It is tempting to play on the platform when there is a fund in it so yeah, payment in the platform makes me play at the casino but I make sure that I withdraw the needed fund first before playing.

I know from experience that sometimes even if we think that we will just play a certain percentage of the payment, we sometimes do not follow it and eventually empty out our bankroll.  So to be on the safer side, just leave the amount we wanted to spend and withdraw the rest.

Re: Are slots rigged or Just math at work?

What do you guys think? Is it pure probability catching up with you, or do casinos tweak the games to make sure you lose eventually?

I notice this when a player only plays a single slot throughout his gambling session.  I can't call it rigged since there is no proof about it and I can't support such statement with strong evidence, and I incline to think that it is designed as that.

So I believe to avoid this kind of experience, we should not stay too long in one game, make use of the variety of slot games available on the platform and compare the results.  I personally have a good result using this kind of method but I do not know if it will work for you.

Re: The roles of investors and entrepreneurs in building an economy.
by
lionheart78
on 31/08/2025, 21:02:59 UTC
It is the glaring truth that the economy of every nation lies in the hands of these people. The investors and entrepreneurs plays a major role in the economic development of every nation, they boost the economy with the investment they put in place, they go as far as bring new innovation and taking advantage of every slighted opportunity to expand in their investment and increasing productivity.The investors and entrepreneurs operates with the motive of making profit from their investment there by increasing labor and productive. So what is your input on this?

Investors and entrepreneurs do play a huge role in developing the economy, but before that, manpower or laborers have an equal role in this development.  Before investors and entrepreneurs start investing, they have to see if there is enough manpower, skilled labor to power their projects. It would be a disaster for them if they invest a huge amount of money in one of these that is lacking. 

The economy of every nation primarily lies in the hands of the government. If the government aren't doing their job then even the entrepreneurs will find it very difficult to survive.
Entrepreneurs, investors and resources are very important for any countries growth but with a bad government the best entrepreneurs, investors and human or natural resources usually go out of the country and this is why many talented and gifted nation are still behind economically.

I highly agree, government can make or break a nation.  If the government implements a regulation favorable to investors, businessmen, and entrepreneurs, it will attract them to set up an investment in the country.

There's lot of misguided newbies think about other things since what they thought AI is a tool that can give them more higher chance to win especially that they believe those prediction given have good chance to win.

AI is a powerful tool, I think we both agree on that.  With good resources and a good script to filter and analyze data, it can give or simulate possible results of a match, which it can increase the chance of correctly predicting the outcome of a match, but of course, it is not 100% foolproof.  At the end of the day, it is the person who look at the data that will decide which options he will choose.  But I think it is better to have this assistance from AI than just rely on personal research alone since with AI it is a lot faster.

Quote
If you search on internet there are lots of hoax posted by random people saying that they can earn guaranteed profit if they use AI. If they listen to those nonsense for sure later on they realize that everything is just a hoax.

This does not remove the fact that maybe they are lying about using AI to give them the boost when they never tried it at all.  They are just promoting some products that they have not tried at all.

Ai cannot really predict the advance result of the game that's why newbies should stop creating false scenario in their mind that they can easily get big profits by using this tool.

True that but it can simulate matches and give us different possible result of the match.  AI is not a know-it-all assistance; they still dig the internet for information, and if they happen to collect a wrong information, the user who rely completely on AI will be doom.  Grin

How about you? How do you see yourself?

I won't tell about my gambling activities and things I went through to random people.  I will only give myself as an example when someone is sincerely asking for advice.  It would be rude to turn them down when they are honest about their concern.

How I tell the story of my gambling activity is dependent on the inquiries of the person who is asking for advice.  Of course I will warn them about the negative consequences of borrowing money for gambling, but as long as they don't ask about my personal experience, I will not disclose my personal struggles (if there is any) what important is I already told them the possible result if they borrow money to gamble and lose.
