We want to study how people in these countries are using Bitcoin and stablecoins in the pursuit of their financial security.

Not sure if it's enough to draw a conclusion on this "Bitcoin’s Impact on Financial Freedom in Authoritarian Countries" topic. Since Indonesia is one of the countries covered in this study (for example), we can see here that Financial Freedom measures a lot of things, and most aren't crypto related:

To assess the overall level of financial freedom that ensures easy and effective access to financing opportunities for people and businesses in a country’s economy, the Index takes account of five broad areas:

The extent of government regulation of financial services,
The degree of state intervention in banks and other financial firms through direct and indirect ownership,
Government influence on the allocation of credit,
The extent of financial and capital market development, and
Openness to foreign competition.

But perhaps the study can explain more of "financial inclusion," a more limited indicator of financial freedom, or other specific indicators.

Have you tried lurking around the newtubers subreddit or cooking communities? You'll have bigger chances to get input from them instead of this forum IMO.

I don't feel comfortable asking this kind of question there since it's too general, many people are asking the same question -> and it probably will be downvoted to oblivion
Here or on bitcointalk is where I am familiar with most of the members.

From the above link, it's quite lucrative (from the 3rd world standard), perhaps I should make videos without human talking since it can be for a global audience and not just local. $15k is enough for a year's living cost here, and he's not actively posting new videos! Crazy!

I followed a few channels from their early days to this day, from gaming to horror channels. Based on what I see their main income comes from brand deals instead of YouTube ads nowadays.

Maybe it's a local channel so the AdSense revenue is pretty low.

Harusnya ada keseimbangan ya dalam memilih user di campaign, namun ini sama aja berlaku di forum sebelah bukan masalah postingan bagus atau tidaknya namun kebanyakan dari mereka hanya prioritaskan circle mereka untuk ikut dalam kampanyenya.
Coba lihat aja beberapa BM di sebelah saat ada campaign baru tetap circlenya yang diprioritaskan untuk bergabung, untuk user lain tidak pengaruh padahal campaign dengan gambling namun kebanyakan postingan bukan gambling tetap aja jadi prioritas BM tersebut.

Apakah benar demikian Bang, di sebelah juga ada BM yang pilih-pilih member untuk join di Kampanye Bounty nya ?!
Kalau begitu adanya, ini akan berdampak negatif pastinya. Kecemburuan sosial antara member pasti ada, akhirnya mungkin akan muncul saling sikut Antara member satu sama lain.
Ah sudahlah, yang penting kita sudah berusaha berbuat baik. Yang penting kita bisa terus aktif, biar nanti kalau ada Signature baru kita juga punya peluang untuk masuk.

Kalau sistem kuota malah ane ga setuju, harusnya ya pemilihan berdasarkan kualitas dan kuantitas kerjaan (dalam hal ini postingan). Siapa yang lebih bagus, dia yang seharusnya dipilih. Permasalahannya adalah (mungkin) BM itu malas untuk menilai secara objektif karena ya harus baca dan mengamati member-member yang mendaftar. Sehingga yang ada adalah member yang sudah dia nilai bagus sebelumnya akan dipilih lagi padahal mungkin ada orang lain di luar sana yang kerjaannya lebih bagus.

Selama member "inner circle" tsb kerjaannya memenuhi minimum requirement, ya member lain yang lebih bagus ga bakalan kepakai. Solusinya adalah member-member yang merasa lebih berkualitas, bersatu bikin managemen kampanye sendiri, ajuin proposal sendiri dengan harga yang bersaing...

IMO strateginya rada salah, kan ini forum altcoin, coba kalau banyak signature ICO, NFT, atau decentralized project yang lain pastinya lebih sustainable. Kalo mengandalkan service yang "ngeri sedap" macam mixer (dan sebangsanya) itu kan sulit untuk bisa awet ya.

Kemudian ketika banyak akun baru masuk, walaupun let's say lebih bagus kualitas postingnya, member lama sebaiknya tetap dilibatkan. Jangan sampai kek "Kampungku sekarang berubah"...

Daripada mixer, coba kalau banyak kampanye j*day, ini malah lebih sustainable.

It's widely accepted that the house always wins because of the House Edge. The most common translation of this rule would be: the longer you play, the more you lose, since the odds are against you. However, perhaps someone here in this forum could beat the house. Who knows?!

Since I don't keep or count my profits and losses from gambling, I can only roughly estimate that I've lost no more than 5% of my net worth because of gambling since 2017, and it's still less than the total sum of unimportant things that I've bought lol. Furthermore, the gambling industry also offers the opportunity to earn via affiliates, signature campaigns, etc., which can easily offset my 5% loss.

What about you? Do you suffer because of gambling, or is it not worth the time to keep P&L since it's not significant?

Kalau umur udah cukup, pastinya sering yang namanya dikhianati, ya karena manusia pada dasarnya itu mementingkan kenikmatan dirinya sendiri. Mau itu ada hubungan darah, hubungan batin, dan hubungan lainnya, manusia ya pada dasarnya manusia. Meskipun sudah sering dikhianati namun tidak ada yang jadi trauma atau kepikiran di otak ane...

Mengapa demikian, ya karena ane sudah lagi tidak memberikan trust 100% kepada pihak manapun. Kalau berhubungan dengan orang lain selalu ane pikirkan, nanti kalau ane ditikung gimana? Apa yang bisa dilakukan untuk mengurangi risiko ditikung? Apa akibatnya kalau ane ditikung? Gimana untuk memperkecil damage ketika ditikung? dsb dsb. Kan yang namanya manusia kita tidak pernah tahu isi hati orang tersebut.

Ketika kita masih kecil dan polos, melihat dunia ini sangat positif dan semua orang itu baik. Namun ketika sudah semakin dewasa kok rasanya harus selalu ada rasa "curiga" dan "was-was" agar tidak dibodohi / ditipu / dikerjain orang. Meskipun demikian bukan berarti melihat dunia ini dengan kacamata selalu negatif. Tetap selalu positif dengan sedikit dikasih pagar agar tidak gampang dikerjain.

Menolong dan berbuat baik kepada orang lain juga ada batasnya. Misalnya ane punya duit 100 jt di tabungan dan ada saudara / sahabat / orang kepercayaan ane yang mau ngutang 50jt tentu tidak ane kasih kalau tidak ada jaminan. Maksimal ane ngutangin kalau tidak ada jaminan hanya 10jt, yang simpel-simpel kek gitu itu namanya memitigasi risiko...

I primarily play at two casinos: one is a global casino, and the other is a local one, as they offer different types of games. With numerous ads and promotions from new casinos (or old ones that you've never heard of), do you still feel tempted from time to time to register and try them out? Or do you ignore them since you are already a regular at your favorite casino? What tempts you the most to try these new casinos? What kinds of offers, perks, or benefits catch your attention?

It's crazy to think that there are so many casinos out there that can survive with basically the same pool of players. Moreover, the longer you play in one casino, your VIP level and benefits will also increase.

After this correction, the price would go up again, and then should it be counted as a bull run? This is a vague question IMO since the market is volatile. But if your friend thinks that is there parabolic price movement like the pre-2017 era? Then the answer would probably be no. The higher the market cap / the price, the lower the volatility, to the point that it looks flat on the logarithmic scale.
