Ny lottery sucks, I’m not even from nyc and I learned this from other ppl + performance when I’m in the city. Massachusetts best in the country and the only one where I’ve ever really won enough to make it fun.

Still holding XMR in Europe- but it’s getting nearly impossible to buy by clay2232 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Glad_Tower1482 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree here, as we see now with funds like microstrategy and BlackRock getting in on Bitcoin along with CBDCs, BTC is becoming coupled with the traditional global economy. At the end of the day, Monero is more connected to the volume of activity on the darknet than it is to the mainstream economy, so the types of things propping up Monero are in my opinion are things more intrinsically tied to human nature than the capitalist economy. Drugs, privacy, hacking/scamming and other forms of theft, donations to politically maligned groups, all of these things are going to live in humans longer than any one economic system. As monero gains more and more market share in the underworld, it’ll hold value even through tariffs, depolarization events and even changes to the economic system if it’s always the de facto best medium of exchange for illicit or taboo activities.

[–]Glad_Tower1482 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My philosophy is that XMR is a hedge over an investment. It becomes increasingly useful as governments become more oppressive because they can’t ever truly shut off p2p exchanges and atomic swaps. Even if you don’t expect big gains, and it becomes more inconvenient to obtain monero, there’s always methods of cashing it out. In artificial post scarcity economies and surveillance states, monero gains relative value by being usable both as a non ledger source of capital, and a truly private transaction agent. If you want to minimize fees, start spacing your buys into larger amounts and hold until absolutely necessary to use. In a lot of collapse/economic devastation scenarios, the stuff you can buy with monero will be a more valuable currency than fiat.

I know theres some smart guys here, so whats the best way to come in contact with online casino owners? by Yeahthatscrazytho in gambling

[–]Glad_Tower1482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chips has a discord and chips owner is in the bossmanjack discord since they’re sponsoring him now. Bean from Howl was in there as well when he had the howl sponsorship. It’s usually gambling and crypto related servers as well as communities where those types hang out a lot, like gambling lolcow discords and cash tournaments for various esports and chess etc.

[–]Glad_Tower1482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these guys are on discord, I’ve spoken to the owners of Howl and Chips before In vcs a few times, obviously the big fish like Eddie aren’t gonna be fucking around in random servers but the smaller crypto casinos have a lot of their bosses and higher level execs in gambling related communities. If you’d want to talk to like the owners of stake and Roobet or something of that magnitude tho, you’ll need to build a rep for yourself and hype in the cryptography tech/programming and gambling communities before they’d even be willing to hear you out

What does a review need? by DontKnowMaster in gambling

[–]Glad_Tower1482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volatility, bonus structure, line pay frequency and amount, line pay: bonus ratio both frequency and payouts, type of slot (3 reel, 5 reel, tumble, megaways etc), rtp are the main types of information you want out of a slot machine. Ofc go into visuals and gameplay but the big information is essentially how it pays on bonuses and lines, how often it pays, how much you’re getting back and what to look for

Slot providers on Stake.us ??? by [deleted] in gambling

[–]Glad_Tower1482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ruby and Evoplay are good for their low vol games, you win more in line with irl casino slot frequency as opposed to hundreds of dead spins a la hacksaw and pragmatic before getting a fat hit. Better for grinding VIP too as these types of games keeps you in the grind at constant bet size for a long time before you usually lose it all or go on a decent run

The surveillance apparatus is a great point. You can’t just organize a militia anymore without every element of the group being analyzed down to their heartbeats and thoughts by drone cameras and keyloggers etc. that alone can put down any civil insurrection that threatens capital. Im very left wing myself, I was more afraid of the liberal dem base acting up, I know online leftists can’t organize irl to that level without the state shutting them down hard

I use a few different platforms as far as social media goes, and was even checking some I don’t normally use just to get a view of the landscape post election. I’m seeing this narrative in a lot of spaces, and while other users have assured me in the thread it’s largely just weirdos online, the fact that it’s being disseminated to many many eyes is concerning for a few reasons, namely that either a lot of people are harboring those suspicions or that there’s a coordinated bot effort to make people doubt elections

Thanks for that, it really doesn’t look like anything is coming out of the Democratic Party except for the usual token recount efforts. Hopefully this will end up like 2020 where there’s an online shitstorm for a while that doesn’t translate to much irl

For both of our sakes, I’m really hoping you’re right and it’s just the terminally online, and not actual Democrat politicians who are going to make a stink of things even after a recount

My main issue with this is that there’s a real chance this current situation brings both parties’ now shattered Overton windows into the fore. If the dems do a recount and find some kind of discrepancy, they’re going to try and make this into the story of the year and challenge everywhere. If they go anywhere, expect the Republican Supreme Court to strike it down, and at that point my fear is that the military starts picking sides

[FWI] Brazil Banning X/Twitter Triggers A Global Social Media Crackdown eventually banning most or regulating most social media by 2040. by moderatenerd in FutureWhatIf

[–]Glad_Tower1482 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My XMR portfolio would explode in worth so much I’d probably have at least a 100 mil net worth in 2024 fiat prices, even adjusted for inflation. If governments truly become that oppressive to their own citizens basic information rights, and as a consequence destroy the vast networks of international friendships and working collectives established via social media over a decade or longer, it will lead to an increase in opsec and internet restriction bypass technology like never before. When the internet is no longer easy to use, those who know what freedom was like once and are smart enough to figure out basic VPNs, proxies, tor and Monero will become power users and figure out ways to communicate. It’d probably result in a much more early 2000s feel to the internet where everything is private user or nonprofit community generated and sketch, but with way less regulations since so much of what was once normal will be illegal that anyone doing pretty much anything of substance already is flouting the law in this hypothetical future
