Wait, what!? At first I thought that this is the kind of thing most users of these wallets (especially MacOS users, since they can feel a false sensation of safety using the App Store) could fall, but man, this is truly basic knowledge!! why would anyone buy a hw if they had to still type their seeds?

I'm really sorry for the victims who lost these life-changing amounts of money, but especially when operating with such fortunes one has to be extremely cautious.

Ahh, these so called Bitcoin "experts" that tell you when to buy and when to wait/sell...

Sorry but, while there are many kinds of expertise (and if we talk about Bitcoin we can refer to the technical part, the legal part, even the part of managing risks as traders or investors) what you're talking about looks more like smoke sellers who want to inflate their pockets, their egos, or both. Almost nobody has the info to surely tell what will happen with the price next, and only having succeeded in the past doesn't make you an expert.

My non-financial advice as a non-expert is to realise that nobody has a crystal ball and that in most fields and Bitcoin is not an exception, less information is more.

Interesting news from the neighboring country! yes, most of us agree that self-exclusion is not the panacea, but I'm sure that it helps more than it hurts. A different thing is if a centralised portal will make the difference, and if that difference will be for better or worse.

I will keep an eye on this news because chances are that if it works moderately well (we should see for whom) it is likely that they will also want to implement it in other countries at least in the EU.

I agree with you to some extent but there is still something that doesn't quite fit for me. Because the risk for me in gambling comes mostly from the thrill and excitement when you win, and in trading there is also this kind of search for the correct trade. And the same you ser limits in trading (or not), you can also set them when gambling.

To me there are many more similarities between both activities than it initially seems.

I have considered the strategy mentioned by the OP multiple times, but what works better for me is creating my bets before the start of the match and just letting what has to happen happen. I have seen enough rare events to know that whatever seems reasonable can change at any moment during the match, even in the last minute, so why chase comebacks that may not happen? I simply sit and try to relax and enjoy.

¡Gracias por rescatarlo! Es verdad, ya me acordé (tras re-leer el hilo ) al final no salió.

Tenía dudas sobre si era el mismo caso porque no recordaba que el promotor fuera tan veterano (creí entender que era el mismo OP). Un barco no lo sé, pero una máquina del tiempo... quién la pillara para volver atrás a los años donde con unos pocos euros/dólares podías comprar cantidades de Bitcoin.

Pero bueno, perdón, nos fuimos un poco del tema. giff, cuéntanos si consigues quedar con alguien, no es necesario dar demasiados detalles.

In my case, I think it was the lack of a proper coin control. In the beginning, one normally starts accumulating sats from different things (not to talk about having a so called diversified crypto portfolio) and, if you are really tidy, you'll end losing the track of which coins went from where, and accumulating coins from different sources in the same wallet. Then you learn that this can have an impact not only if one day you decide to track your transactions, but also in your privacy, especially since blockchain analytics improved enough.

It is hard to tell or explain a newbie how to properly control his coins, but the sooner you learn, the better for you.

I didn't expect the Bible to instruct me on risk management/tolerance although I'm not a very religious person, thank you for the advice, I'll take a look into it. In the end, although much of what we do will depend on pure randomness, our decisions also have an impact on the way we live, there is no doubt about that.

Mmm I would say that what I love from crypto casinos, over all, is how easy it is to gamble there compared with fiat casinos. But, for some reason, if I was to stake a really big amount, I personally would do it in a fiat casino, because I think at least some of them can legally offer more guarantees, of course, at a price. But I'd be willing to pay that price for a higher security.

Unfortunately (for me) that's not the case because I'm just a casual gambler, so for that reason I prefer crypto casinos, and that's why I suppose it's something that will depend on the personal circumstances of each person.

It can be, and I don't think we will ever know the real reason because different casinos may do it for different reasons, and unless we know someone who works there at a high level we won't know for sure. But I wouldn't think so badly of them: sure, big casinos have a lot of players and the number of requests can be huge, but they can also hire more people or build better systems to resolve these issues more efficiently. Small casinos with little resources can have problems handling only a few requests if they accumulate at any given time.
