If that's what you want of not keeping records, you're not a bad gambler. What makes a bad gambler is being reckless and senseless. That's when to the point that you won't care anymore to your family and all you do is gamble all day long. You may be a full time gambler but don't disregard the obligations that you have and everything that you are routine to do.

Remember that we're not perfect but as a gambler, there's already the bad descriptions that were given to us based on what people have seen from the other gamblers for being reckless. If you are going to be like them, you're also giving that point of view to them and proves them right. So, recording isn't a big deal but if you and your wife argues with that, that's a different story brother and you need to submit yourself to her and start recording to give that proof that you're just a gambler and not more than that.
1102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to build a career with bitcoin? on: October 26, 2023, 11:59:35 AM
This has been discussed for several times. If you are an investor, with your patience you're likely to become to profit and be successful with Bitcoin. And if you're talking about the potential opportunities with working under the niche of Bitcoin and build a career from it, it's definitely possible. Think of those exchanges, they don't work alone and serve us automatically. There are people behind it working as if they're working under a normal corporate setup just as what we used to do. Honestly, it's not that much difference between that kind of setup and the actual setup that we used to live it. Because on their terms, they're all the same companies that have services to their customers. That is why if you're planning to go ahead and make a career of it, just keep on applying on the company and position that you want to be.
1103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will it affect your life if bitcoin price comes to $1 million per bitcoin? on: October 26, 2023, 11:29:02 AM
For those that don't have a lot of Bitcoin holding, we'll still be happy for everybody. That's an achievement for everyone and that moment is what everyone is waiting for. We may have not much but yet, it's still a great history that will be made that with an asset that has no known creator and remained anonymous has left this world with that great invention that everyone who owns it believed to its tech and on itself as a store of value.
$1M per bitcoin then even just owning 1/4 or 1/2 of it then it would really be that already significant and could really changed up someones live, knowing that there are indeed places in the world which USD value
is really that indeed big or something that could really be that worth tons even if you do get hundreds or tens thousands of it. If it happens that 1 Bitcoin would worth a million then tons of people would really be changing up their lives if ever that happen but we know that even in dreams this cant really happen considering on how much money we do really need to reach out that kind of price or value. Really that good to dream off with that kind of value or price.
I'm optimistic that someday it is going to happen, no matter what people say and how negative they are. In the past, many people didn't believed that the high predictions like $20k won't happen but we've seen that happen several years ago and now, it's just part of the history because we're pass that price. By the looks of it is impossible but I'm believing firmly that it is going to happen someday, and it's just going to be a matter of time when.

I may not that be like those folks and holders that have been firmly holding. I've made a lot of mistakes on my decisions for selling early but I'm trying to keep up with that mistake and I'm trying to get up with that mistake correcting it so that it is unlikely to be done in the future. So, this dream by everybody and manages to hold until the end until it happens or close to that price, it will be a lovely day it is for sure if we witness it.

If the price of Bitcoin hits such a high level of price, I will be both sad and happy.

I'm sad because I truly want to save Bitcoin, but it's difficult for me to do so because my income only covers my basic needs, which is I only save so little. Most of us who have faith on Bitcoin that will reach such a high price undoubtedly feel the same way I do.

On the other side, I am happy because there are still many individuals who do not believe in Bitcoin and claim that it is a scam. If this occurs, individuals may change their thoughts and believe Bitcoin is a legit.
I feel you bud but that's what it is and we will just have to let go of that feelings of being sad and there's a good news. If you believe that someday we'll be able to see Bitcoin hitting that price, there's still a lot of time for you and me to accumulate and buy because who knows if someday in the nearest future, that sadness turns into happiness so it's both happiness and joy for you that has once said about being sad that you can't save.
1105  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Pending justice for SBF on: October 26, 2023, 10:27:33 AM
I don't think that there's still money left to recover from this thief. His family got involved with various assets acquisition and that's needed to be proved in the court but we all know where it came from. The only prize that every victim can get from this is for the verdict from the court that this guy should rot behind the bars. And next is the investigation on how his family got their wealth and hoping that they'll all be recovered, put up on sale or auction and the proceeds of it will be distributed to the victims even if they're not going to be that much. Because with that, there's gonna be the sense that it is visible that the justice system is working on them. But the sad thing is that, we're seeing the other way around.

And that is because SBF has managed to make connections with known people in the legal system and it seems all planned by him and how foresee the future with everything getting f*cked up with his plan. Every political system, there's corruption and that's sad when he's aware that everything is just all about under the table.

The guy is basically rubbing shoulders with prominent figures in the tech industry and politics. His parents are also somewhat known in the legal industry. As far as the justice system goes, this guy is kind of untouchable, unless those involved in the proceedings of his case grow a backbone and try to prosecute him and send him behind bars for a long time. He's very clever with making those donations and setting up those social events while he had the chance to. He gained a number of allies that helps him with this case. They'll just prolong this case until no noise can be heard anymore, and he may not be acquitted - but he'll surely the lowest sentence possible for his case.
If we're going to analyze all of his moves then we can see that there could have been planned connections already before everything was exposed. And based from that, everyone, he made all of us believed that he's a sort genius weirdo. Well, if there are known media or people that try to dig his case, the noise will be there but it is true that they might just lie low and stop making noise about him. As long as he stays there for his lifetime, that's what the people that he f*cked want even without all of the money that he should return because there's no more hope with that.

And let's just hope that whenever someone has the same style as his, they should be more careful and assess that charity or company that does it if they are for real or they up to something and trying to build their connections. I just hope that more of these institutions, politicians won't just be happy taking all of those donations and they'll also do their due diligence before acceptance although we know that it's hard to find the motives of a person at the beginning.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 09:44:38 AM
It can be a blessing in disguise for that lady that the nature of the guy has been exposed because of gambling. If she didn't called off the wedding and continued because of how desperate she is and loves the guy truly, she'll be the one to suffer with both of them living on the same roof. With that attitude and addiction in gambling, the money that they agreed to save for their wedding won't just be like that if they do plan another saving for some of their needs or plans together. It's possible that the guy will spend the money and will just carefree as if nothing has happened.

It's sad to see that a dream wedding has been called off because of such incidents but the woman will eventually realize that it's okay but, the pain is there at the beginning and she had to accept and endure that until it's finally gone. The final decision of leaving the guy and moving on is what she need to do to have a brand new start. Finding the new love of her life might not be easy as it may be but that's what should happen if ever the guy will never change. The guy is also going to be a lucky one if the woman will give him another chance but the question is, is she going to give another shot for that guy that's been the major reason why their wedding has been canceled?
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: October 25, 2023, 11:24:38 PM
Meanwhile, my only remaining bet is on Team Spirit ML over Liquid. Planning to put some bets on GG and BetBoom as well. Betboom against VP, it will be another anticipated match and both teams are capable of winning.
Come together with me on GG and nouns match. The odds are good with nouns and I know that GG is a strong team, no hate on Quinn and GG but I'll just try my luck putting with nouns on this one. As I believe in K1 hector.  Grin

Just like the other teams that have managed to snatch some games on the known strong teams, maybe nouns will do the impossible on this one. I'm not expecting a lot on them and I just try to cover the odds as much as possible because it's quite good and the bet I've made on this one isn't that much too. So whether win or lose, I'm okay and there's no madness or heart feelings on it. This is what betting is all about in a game that you truly love and have been living with together.
Still a too many days to wait until the lower and upper bracket starts. It's kind of boring to wait this long with the most awaited dota 2 event every year. I hope the format next year is better than this one and also the scheduling as well.

1109  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 25, 2023, 10:29:06 PM
Exactly! If my current income is not sufficient to cover my family expense then I will try to find an additional income source or I will try to find another job that will be enough to support my monthly expenses.
That's I will do too. The competition for having new jobs is there but I won't stop since I've got my own reasons not to give up and why I need to find another job or another source of income. When life is too tough and gets tougher, this is when we can do the impossible. Believe me, when you're too motivated and you're feeling to do the impossible, you are very optimistic with every approach that you do just like finding another job. Because when you can see the whole situation of what you and your family is going through, you'll have to do something.

Sometimes it is not only our low income but also our lack of proper money management that causes financial problems. You can support your family even with lower income if you have knowledge about money management.
It is what it is but you will learn that eventually on how to properly manage your money, finances and salaries that you'll be taking. That's always the hard part when you've got nothing to budget on but when money comes in and you only need to budget it, that's gonna be easy for you.
1110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Instagram Banned Bitcoin on: October 25, 2023, 09:56:04 PM
I'm not on Instagram and yes, it's owned by Meta(Facebook) too and I don't know if that actually happened for some reason. If they have banned Bitcoin, it is the actual word? What is it for them? Just like some few platforms before that have banned crypto related posts and then reverted it after a while. I'm not shocked and there's nothing to be shocked of with that. It's fine to see do platforms do whatever they think is necessary.

We're done to that period that we're too worried about them banning bitcoin, ads related to crypto's etc. Honestly, I want Google to ban more of these crypto projects that uses them to maximize their viewership because many of them are scams. So, like what I've said, the platform itself can do whatever it want. If management wants to ban bitcoin, the word on their captions, chats, etc, that's their decision and it won't stop us from investing and holding bitcoin just because of that news. And they can't stop the push that's currently being seen and done for bitcoin's price.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? on: October 25, 2023, 09:30:58 PM
I let my gambling site do that for me.
Yeah, that's the purpose why they have records of history of our bets in there. That's technology and that's making our lives easier thanks to that feature of theirs and we can save time from doing so. I don't keep track of my gambling anymore whichever the result is. I mostly remember the wins that I get but I forget the amount that I am losing and I think that is a normal reaction for everyone whenever we're up to gamble.

Depending on wat devices you use to place your bet.
Why so? Is it easier to record it whenever you are at your desktop or laptop or not with your phone? Regardless of that, it's easy to record with the use of any device and I think some people do have their own paper copy and writes it off on their papers for the sake of recording it. Just like the people that have been meticulous with their records, that's how important it is to them but for us that don't record it, that's okay, we keep records history on the casinos we're doing it. So whichever you're comfortable with and what you think is right for you for your own references, you can keep it.
1112  Economy / Economics / Re: What does being rich mean in your perspective? on: October 25, 2023, 12:34:59 PM
It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
You've got a peace of mind and you've got no problems with whatever you want to purchase. You've got assets coming from appreciating assets up to the generating income assets. I think that you get what I mean with that because aside from having money, you're also having your sanity being preserved. There's nothing better today than having a peace of mind. You may have all the riches in this world and yet you can't sleep like a baby because of all the stress that you're thinking everyday coming from your job, from your business, from your family and from anything that will give you that trouble that will just consume your energy, your peace and even money.

IMHO, what I like in modern day is we've got our own definition of being rich. And that's the beauty of the differences of our minds. Majority will tell that everything is all about money, money and money and I won't argue with that because we all need it. But having the other description from others of what is richness to them is interesting and I'm sure like mine about having a peace of mind and as well as having no trouble having money is a combination that we're all wanting.
1113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What advice for businesses exploring crypto payment gateways? on: October 25, 2023, 11:39:57 AM
I don't have a business so I may not be the best person to give an opinion about this topic but hear me what I have to say about businesses accepting and adopting crypto payments. First of all, that's what we want. As long as there's a business that accepts it, that means another extension and means of adoption. But let's get to the real thing, not all customers are for the crypto payments. While it's good to have an alternative payment system for the customers especially those that you've got the same interest as theirs.

But, despite you being an optimistic crypto guy and making good things like adopting it to your business. This means that you can't please everybody. There will be customers that will be against to it because they'll insert their belief that crypto isn't a thing or two for them and they're against on it. And as someone who runs the business, you'll just have to respect whatever they say to that initiative that you do for helping the adoption in your area.

That's okay, not everyone will be happy with that but the thing here is that you are just adding another alternative payment system and for your customers to have more options while learning who amongst them that are also in crypto.
1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Just like visiting a cinema on: October 25, 2023, 10:50:11 AM
As you look for this type of topic on this section, you'll definitely see a lot of it that were made before but still, it's a good idea to think that your gambling losses are like payments for the experience that you've gained in the casino. You can have that denial stage that you have gambled because you're all for the fun and you can think that you've gambled and loss and that money is good as payment to them. You can actually think of as many reasons as you can when you lose. It is also like a defense mechanism when you're all for the profit and then your plans aren't successful because all you're getting are losses. There's no need for one to admit that he's gambling for the profit and can just admit that he's paying for the experience so that he'll become a better gambler in the future. IMO, there's no problem whether you tell that you're up for the profit or for the experience and with that money you lose is fine as long as it is yours. What's shameful is when you gamble not with your money and either a loan or from someone who owns that money and you never told that you've used it for gambling.
1115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gift to wife. on: October 25, 2023, 10:00:37 AM
Another important thing that needs to be taken care of before gifting BTC to her is educating her about how she can secure her BTC. It is not like a traditional asset that you can keep in a box and sometimes non technical person can have a hard time to understand the way how a non custodial or hardware wallet work. She can lose all of his bitcoin due to lack of proper knowledge about its storage.
I agree. It's not just about giving her Bitcoin but I guess that everyone who does this to their wives or girlfriends are also teaching them on how to secure themselves the Bitcoin that was gifted to them so that they'll take care of it and won't just neglect the importance of keeping it. It's not that hard to teach them on how to make their Bitcoins safe and to avoid being hacked if they're just given education and taught properly by their partners. So, aside from gifting them, there's the responsibility of teaching them as well on what are the right things to do so that they will not be hacked or scammed by anyone. That won't hurt a lot of time for them if you've got sets of instructions made or some materials of tutorials or visuals that you can direct them easily for them to be guided as they receive that gift from you. Start with the lightweight wallets like Electrum but also introducing them with hardware wallets are also better for them to understand why it is so important to have it.
1116  Economy / Economics / Re: Real estate vs cryptocurrencies vs business on: October 24, 2023, 09:32:06 PM
My proposal for anyone looking to invest in or take advantage of the new prospects offered by this decentralized digital currency is to buy bitcoin. I'll start with that. This is due to the fact that, when compared to other cryptocurrencies that were found to be less up to this criteria, bitcoin offers the greatest profit potential as well as the essential control and privacy.
It is without a doubt that Bitcoin is the best choice on this market, the entire crypto market and there's no other crypto that's better than it. That has been proven for each year that passes by. Someone can disregard the attributes of it being decentralized and the privacy that it has, although there are other better projects in terms of privacy Bitcoin is like the flag bearer of them all and just start investing in it based on the research that has shown on its history for being a good store of value and can deal against inflation because of its deflationary factors like halving.

Although real estate has historically been regarded as a secure investment, it is not without its own set of difficulties and expenses... and boy, are there expenses! Loan costs, interest, stamp duty, repairs, insurance, and taxes - the list goes on and on. Not to mention the time and energy that will be wasted should you choose to rent it out. Managing properties? That's a full-time job in itself
That's true about real estate but when you're done with all and that, passive income is about to come when you get that property of your tenant. It's also a business and that's the cost and effort that you need to exert there just like any other business that you may establish.

War itself is scary and whoever started it is scarier. And that's why these nukes and biological weapons are gonna be triggered if it's not stopped as soon as possible. The winner might be happy that they have been a victor against their enemy but are they also triumphant to see the lives that were scattered on the road, in their actual homes lying on the floor without life? All of these wars are taking the lives of innocent kids, grandpas, grandmas, boys and girls, everyone's lives. Peace should be maintained in all of these regions but I think that's a utopian dream. Now, these ideas of strengthening the military for each country will always be the case for most countries these days allotting a budget for that as a priority because it seems that everyone is just waiting for something to trigger and this is not a good thing. Even if I'm not there, it seems that every news that I watch is scaring me all about trigger happy people, warmongers, etc.
1118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Maybe I should have taken this risk earlier. on: October 24, 2023, 08:03:20 PM
Please don't compromise what your father did to sell the cows. If it is intended for you to pay for your study or graduate program then use it for what it is assigned for. I know that time is important for both, investing in Bitcoin and as well as for your studies. But don't let your father down at this time because what they expected you to do for that money should be followed. We all understand that taking risks is also what's going to prevent you from gaining profit but the disappointment of parents is more painful from the losses that you'll incur if the market doesn't grow much this time. No one anticipated that the movement of Bitcoin from this time will be this quick although it has always been volatile and moves like this can come at any moment. Do not blame yourself, do not blame your parents and it's better to finish what you have to finish and if you have some spare money then use that for DCAing instead of spending on nonsense things. Because you can always invest in Bitcoin at any time while you can also say that for what program you're going through with your studies but, once you are done with that and become employed, the money you earn there can be invested without any regret on your end.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Latest Game in my Country: Bottle Flip on: October 24, 2023, 07:21:04 PM
If it's a gambling game and even if it is for children, it's better that whoever organizes this game in those areas shouldn't allow kids to gamble. Yes, don't allow them to gamble because it can be their practice as they grow old and it will be brought onto their practice and it's hard to remove when that happens. They should be allowed to play the game of flipping the bottle but when you guys know that there's betting involved, you should discourage the kids not to do it anymore because that's something else and it's more than a game. Any amount shouldn't be tolerated and even if we are gamblers and we advocate to gamble only what they can afford to lose, they're still kids and we should stop them as soon as possible that we start to know them that they're doing it with a bet. Because you'll never know what type of attitude it will bring to them when they start enjoying the game with some bets and they don't have money to bet for. It is going to be like a requirement to them to gamble with bets and what if they don't have money to bet? Where they are going to get that? From their parents? or worst, do something that we don't like just for them to have money to bet for.
1120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buy on growth on: October 24, 2023, 06:58:04 PM
Hi all. How to buy more when growing? Today we are growing, but I don’t want to buy. Share your experience in this matter.
You wanna buy then you say that you don't wanna buy? Try to clear first yourself what you like in this world because we're no magicians to tell you how to buy when you don't even want to buy. That's confusing and yes, the market is growing and we're likely to hit the bull run again soon. So if you don't like buying now, then what you are up to is to keep that to yourself. The experiences that we've got are just the same as each other.

We bought at a low price and then we're just waiting for a better price to come. Despite that we've seen the market has been up a bit, this is giving us the firm decision that we're still gonna be patient for the bull run because we're not yet there at the peak of it. It's hard to determine the peak but selling close to it is already a good thing and successful trade off.

And if you have that thought that you are buying because you see the growth, that's like an okay strategy but usually, it's best to buy when the market doesn't move at all or when it's at its lowest.
