Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.
However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.
This is practically the base action to every gambling addict and believe me my friend you would be surprised to what gambling addiction can do in the life of a chronic gambler. When it comes to gambling addiction and domestic violence I really can count the number of cases that am well familiar with and most of them are involving the issues of the woman giving advice to her husband for the excuses for him always squandering his money and the man lashes out all his frustration on her like a panther waiting aimlessly for his prey. |

OP, I vividly understand you, but gamblers don't think this way, note the idea of a gambler is to win despite that most of them know that losing is inevitable in gambling, some gamblers see winning to be a constant thing in gambling but that's is high level of fallacy, gambling has principles and these principles must come to play, it is normal for a good gambler to have it in mind that gambling is not a certain event so that when you gamble, your expectation shouldn't be one sided, you should reason in different direction which is the aspect of failing to retain your stake or getting your stake back with profits attached.
The gambler get into the gambling in the way of getting the winning dollars in the gambling site.The gambler should ready to face the gambling loss when they have the negative side of game.The gambling doesn’t have the constant win or loss in the game,the gambler should ready to face it.The gambler who use the strategy to win the game will able to win the good money in the gambling.The gambler who use to bet in the random way without any stable game will loss the funds at the end.Many gamblers will do this mistake in the betting,the expectation in the gambling should be accepted in both the positive and negative way. anyone who is into gambling no quite well that gambling is all about risk and it is obvious that in gambling there is every possibility for you to lose in gambling and you might lose today and also win tomorrow so therefore Gamble it is like price of Bitcoin it is unpredictable so therefore I believe that whatever that comes out of gambling it is based on luck and he is not good to for someone to depend in gambling and also believe that you will be making profit consistently in gambling so I don't believe in that theory and that belief that you can be making profit in gambling always when you have such belief you continue to spend your money and it will lead you to be gambling addicted Every gambler is well aware of that fact and that's why most people who gamble are always not dependent on their gambling habits to feed and am just really to see or even hear that someone doesn't think about the risk that is involved in it before gambling. Before ever anyone start to gamble he is well aware of the risk thats is involved so getting the loses is actually not suppose to be something new and more every gambler knows that the loses are always more than the earnings. |

As you might know, the price of bitcoin reached its lower point since last month.
Should those who want to buy more do it now or do you believe we'll see the bitcoin price get down a little more?
Some here were talking about rumours of BTC being purchased from Saudi Arabia, but well, that's just a rumour.
But people tend to panic and sell, so this might be the best moment to buy as much btc as possible. What do you think?
I think it's best for you to just keep buying because if you are waiting for the price to drop then you would be surprised the many opportunities that you will miss out Just in the case of waiting for the right to buy. There are lots of person who have waited and still yet nothing to show for when it comes to the amount bitcoin that they hold because on every second and time you waste the price might just tend to go higher. |

In life na who give na fuck up , in everything you find yourself doing try to make sure you do it well because when it is done well people will come after you just because of your great work.

Good morning my fellow member of this local board and happy weekend to you all.
It’s a wonderful day again and another day to talk about this wonderful forum. Today I wake up with this wonderful topic which says “Crypto academy”
Now why did I say crypto academy? Can we all agree that this forum is a crypto academy which teaches and enlighten us with the understanding of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the world as a whole. Before I came into this wonderful forum I had slight understanding about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. When I first heard about bitcoin, I thought it’s all about kobo like coins which other countries uses, funny right? I thought cryptocurrencies is the name of a country currency as we have niara in Nigeria, dollar in the U.S and pounds in the U.K. What I’m say is that thanks to this forum I’ve known that bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and it’s a digital currency. Now mining, when they say mining what comes to your mind? Digging out golds right? That’s what I thought at first but thanks to this forum I now know that mining bitcoin simply means obtaining units of a cryptocurrency by running a computer process to solve specific mathematical problems. Wonderful! What a forum that’s helps us with this wonderful knowledge. So now can we say it’s a bitcoin academy? As for me it is a crypto academy. Well I also want to specially thank the kingmakers that brought out this local board and also thank the kingmakers that brought out this forum as a whole. I call them kingmakers because their are members of this forum in which it has changed their life for the better and I’m also one of those in which this forum has changed. I can now afford some certain personal things I need without asking or begging for it.
I also want to use this opportunity to advise youths out their roaming around the street stealing and causing all kinds of nonsense why not look for legit way to make money online, maybe after learning about Bitcoin, you might go into its investment or trading to make extra cash. Currently now, we have several persons who sells Bitcoin and other crypto locally and they are making money from it.
Those of us who got majority of our knowledge about Bitcoin from this forum please let take out time to appreciate the forum.
Your own misconception about the meaning of bitcoin is rather odd I must but all the same it's accept because what you don't know you actually don't know it. About the forum being an academy, well it's okay to call it that because the knowledge this place houses is far beyond even our own comprehension and I believe every single person here has indeed gain and tap from it either one way or the other. Bitcointalk is definitely a unique place if you want to really learn about bitcoin and crypto just be sure you keep your mind stable and learn very well and you will be surprised to see yourself growing beyond excellence. |

Hello gamblers, this is a kind of survey aimed at getting to know my fellow gamblers better, particularly in the context of sports betting. I would like to know your average bet amount and your monthly income.
You don't need to provide exact figures; an estimate would suffice. Through this discussion, we can assess whether we are being too aggressive in our gambling habits or if we are playing it safe with our bets.
I know many people say this, that their betting amount is ratio according to their earnings, maybe 10-15 percent but for me I won't lie, I really don't have a specific amount of money I put into gambling, I just gamble whenever am in the mood and I usually gamble in free hours and that's not much comparing the kind of work I do, but if am to put into figure then I think that will be around 7% of my monthly earning. |

How would you feel if you had the opportunity to cashout this amount, and later loose all?
most times people always find it difficult to cashout their fund when they have the opportunity, due to having that mindset that they want to go home with the Goody bag. by so doing Sometimes the game will end without them winning a dime. but loosing all to nothing. while some will cashout, and later the game will end well and they will start regretting why dey didn't wait to the final.
now my question this,
cashing out or waiting till the end of game which is more better?
Well I don't see the remaining games in your betslip if not I would made my decision through the risk that particular game carries that's if it's just one game remaining but if the games are more than one then cashing out the game is probably the best option to take because taking the half is better than losing all the money so I think cash out is better in some cases while as the situation permits leaving too is also not a bad option. |

for the year it is still difficult to reach 100k dollars. although this year is a halving year. but usually in the year of halving the usual bitcoin price does not skyrocket high. but usually 1 year after halving the new bitcoin price can skyrocket high.
for this year I answer clearly will not be able to reach 100k dollars but if next year there is still a chance to reach 100k dollars
What you say could be like that, but the influence before the halving will certainly provide encouragement for the movement of bitcoin. If the price can be above $50K, instead of being corrected, of course reaching $100K could happen at the end of this year. but usually after the halving, the movement will slowly increase, but of course what is hoped is that next year a renewable ATH can be formed with quite fantastic values. Everyone in the entire crypto space is hoping for this increase and the best we can do is to buy and keep holding. For the price reaching 100k before the end of this year, well I can't really tell but I know that Bitcoin will set new ATH come 2025 but the only thing am hoping for is that the price should just go lower to the value of 35k so people who just bought Bitcoin can buy more and wait to see the end result. |

What mistakes did you make, and what advice do you have for others to be careful?
What are the best and worst ways of storing a seed in your opinion?
I never lost my seed phrase before and I think this forum here is responsible for that because my time here has let me know how vital keeping your seed phrase is. Imagine having millions of dollars on your wallet and then you woke up one morning and you lost the device to which the wallet is located and you want to get access to that account, I could only imagine the frustration that one would face and I pray I never experienced such situation in my life. |

As a gambler what do you think that should be the right time we suppose to leave gambling weather we are making profits or we are not making profits with gambling, because I know quite well that gambling whenever you are making profits you will wish to continue gambling unless that you run out of cash.
This will depend on the contentment of the gambler as we can see, even old people still into gambling and some consider this as their kill time since they don't have anything to do and most of them prefer to gamble more. Personally, I can't tell when I will stop to gamble since I'm just an occasional gambler and didn't have much expectation in gambling that's why I can stop gambling anytime, this is not a big deal for me. Just like we say gambling is for fun same things for this old man, maybe he just tired of doing nothin and he just craves that kind of rush to his his blood when he was abit hunger. Gambling is always fun when you actual don't have mind in doing it and this is part where plenty gamblers fall victim because the y don't know what they are doing. Even the old men do enjoy gambling because for some reason and aslo this saying old habits never die and also the reason when he head the money. |

👉 track their anonymously: so far I've noticed that most scams don't project any team members to the public and if they do they are mostly fake and this way could be very effective than reading a whole whitepaper. Check if the project has any real life representative and follow them up and see if they are posting in line with their big project in hand. Why i feel this is a good idea is because they are still afraid of the government too.
You would be surprised by the extent and to what limit they are willing to go in order to carry out a very precise scam. Scammers are evolving everyday and the same way you are being updated about information that's the same way they too get these informations if not nothing I can even say they are more relentless when it comes to achieving their goal thats why I don't believe any calls whatsoever from any team members because if the scammers are out and serious they could formulate all these things, I mean how hard could it be for scammers to set up other scammers themselves as team members. |

There is a rumour going on about an potential $500 billion investment into BTC by the Saudi governments, As we know today BTC just dropped below $40k. I am having a very strong feeling that this would be the perfect time to invest, What are your thoughts about this and price predictions for next week if the this "rumour" becomes a reality?
Are you sure that blackrock isn't messing up the Bitcoin price? At current level it is the best time to buy Bitcoin. So I won't be surprised if the news of 500 billion USD investment is actually true. I won't be surprised if blackrock suddenly emergence as the biggest institutional Bitcoin holder of all time. A lot of manipulations are on going in the background. After the approval of ETF, we all thought that Bitcoin price will touch a new all time high. Clearly that isn't the case. Someone with far more power than we can imagine, is surely messing up with Bitcoin in the open market. I mean the expectations only actually made the price to go high during those period, this whole scandal with the approval of Bitcoin ETF was just too hyped that the price has already risen so when the SEC actually did approve it there was nothing to hype anymore although like you said many top hands can still influence the price of Bitcoin and its market as we have seen that some scenario and happenings also causes these price fluctuation. |

Funny enough my dear gamblers, something artrageous just happened within i and colleagues at work where we engaged on a "guessing and challenging game" daring ourselves in such a critical and lucky guesses.
E.G, *Guess where I am from.
*How many kids do you think I have?
* How many hours/minutes do you think I drives from my house to work?
* What high institution do you think I attended?
* What is my 2nd childs shoe size?
These is a scenero of such game. Behold dear gamblers, someone in our midsts was able to make an exact 10 right guesses out of this challenge meanwhile others could even make count of a single right guess
This opted one of us to say to the champion that.... Oh wow, man, you are professional guesser. Maybe someone like you could be a professional gambling predictional.
I am concerned to ask, can such a person build a gambling carrier with such an excellent guessing prohibition? Or he should trash it all and believe that gambling predictions remains a game of luck?
What a story, well I will skip and go straight to the point which gambling is not something that anyone can be a professional at it especially when it comes to guessing I mean what are the odds that this is even possible to make exactly 9 guesses complete without knowing something about them or maybe he got an hint because this is certainly some crazy story well if it's actually true and I don't think gambling is will be anymore fun if the speculation and unpredictable nature is no longer there. |

My country people good evening inside this evening, e get one thing I wan talk about wey I think say na very big mistakes and disaster waiting to happen if we continue that trend, see most of us crypto enthusiastic no know how risky e be to leave our coin in an exchange, if you don here about this phrase, not your key, not your coin, you go understand well wetin I dy try to talk.
Their are some questions we need to ask our self, question like, if this exchange all my coin dy get K leg, na who I wan hold? Make we try use people dy learn, make we no allow am to happen to us first before we learn, that is why for this forum them dy always dy advice everyone to use self custodian wallet, so that you no go wake up one morning come dy hear stories about your investment.
Make we just look how FTX just run into bankruptcy wey make so many people money plus life savings get K leg till today, abeg make we thread wisely.
This na normal warning wey dem give us every time even as we dey and I no know if you don actually hear this saying wey talk say so far as no be you get the key no be your coins and this issue with exchange nai go explain this saying properly. If you leave your coins for exchange, na the exchange nai get the exchange nai get full control because of say e dey centralize and you fit hear story say dem don hack their company and all your coins don go be that so keeping it offline is always better because dat one na you get your keys. |

If you use the (DCA) Dollar Costing Average method then any time is suitable for you to buy bitcoins. Because with DCA method you can reduce your purchase price a lot. Moreover, currently the market is slowly going deep. So I think now is the right time for you to buy bitcoin but definitely using (DCA) method.
This short dip is an excellent opportunity for holder to top their investment and have good value to the Bitcoin because when the price is low the better the rate of Bitcoin you will have and ofcourse the DCA strategy is probably the best but for chances like this it's better to go wild and buy big that's if funds is available. Most people that use the DCA strategy are mostly people that tend strategize their income flow so they can meet up with accumulation and still with other things. |

Earning money from crypto isn't an easy task, as we generally think. You should have enough knowledge to identify fake or real things in the crypto market. You shouldn't be influenced by influencers here. You can follow them for learning and analysis purposes. Don't make any investment decisions when influencers say anything. Cryptocurrency is volatile, and you have to make real-time decisions. Most of the influencers are paid by projects where they wash our brains. So instead, we have to use our own brains during investment, and we also always need to avoid free money offers.
So many people are just in the lost because of the wrong taught they have when it comes to making money from the crypto space and Bitcoin in particular. The opportunities are there no doubt but the level of risk involved is also crazy because the same way you can earn that's same way you can lose so actually checking out what you are getting your self involved would with and if you still choose the Bitcoin investment then you will now know that there is no such thing as free money in the crypto space. |

I know say post like this been don dey exist, forgive me, but this one too pain me to express my thoughts for old thread.
Newbie abeg I use God take beg una, make una try dey increase the quality of post. This forum no be where you go just wake up from sleep then anything wey you jam for social media you go carry am come dey talk for board. With the little time wey I don dey this forum and this board to be precise, I know how many of our boss at the top they work effortlessly to try make the local board for dey better and outstanding. But all these una off topic post Dem wey no get head don dey too much. Last year we deliberate on this matter, e come be like say the off topic come reduce but now e don dey come up again.
Well as far as new members dey come the forum this kind of things no go stop so the best you and everyone of us can do is to keep the word flying so that eventually things might turn around with this newbies because most of them are really confused on how to go about things and I believe with good orientation they might actually turn up which I have seen several cases of users do. |

The QR code on Opay is used for paying. If you scan the QR code, that means you want to send money to the scammer, but you can only do that by authorizing it with your payment pin/password or fingerprint. Could some peoole be so foolish to proceed?
I do not read any message from Opay as long as I do not authorize for it. So if scammer sends the scam message, I can not read it.
It will only take a novice or someone inundated with alcohol or drugs to fall for this cheap scam. Like you rightly said, the QR code contain the detail of the receiving address of anyone who provided it, in this case the scammer. Unless you are under the influence of something, there is no way you will authorise such payment unless they give other things you are paying for. However, scammers are getting smarter by the day, they would have found a way around this that will enable them still steal from their victims. Therefore, we should be careful with vulnerable banking platforms like the wallet accounts. If you are not sure of what you are paying for or where the money is going, it's better you don't send. Funny how you say this because you would be surprised the kind of scam people actually fall for, like you said you can never fall for this but I believe inside the 200+ millions of Nigerians out their I can bet someone can be so naive to actually fall victim. Scammers are ever ready and they always look for alternative to execute their scam and like you said maybe they have another feature to this scam that can make it look real enough for some crazy folks to actually fall for this. You know they say curiousity can do lots of things and many people do shit just to fulfill their curios thought. |
