1181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 19, 2023, 11:31:57 PM

The thing is that there have being high discrimination against women and gambling is not exceptional just like there is a limitation for women in sports and other sectors that set limits between women and men but between that, we also need to know that things are changing lately and the stigma against women are becoming minimal to some extent.
Gambling lately has moved online and for that women are becoming more involved since they now have the privacy of gambling with online casinos.
Actually there's no prohibition or any exception when it comes to gender on whatever sports that it would be.Every gender would really be that welcome and there's category on every sporst like in Basketball, if there's men then there's women and in soccer or football there's other too. It is really just that it would be normal that there's really a category because it would be understandable that it would be a completely no match up
if both genders would really be mixed up and its not justifiable and its understandable in between differences.

Now that we are talking about gambling then its not something that would be different, its free for everyone and there's no such thing about being a women for you to play gambling because a long you do
have the money then you are really that eligible to play and there's no one would really be able to stop you on doing so. Its your money and its your right on how you would gonna
use it whether on leisure times or in other means.

Patience is something that would really be a behavior which is mostly that would be applied into this investment specially on crypto specially into those coins or projects which does really have that potential.
If you are really that impulsive when it comes to your emotion then crypto market isnt really for you because you would most likely be keeping on committing mistakes because of sudden
changes of price and same as with your emotions.

Patience is a measure of a person's ability, where they can survive and not panic with the fluctuating state of the crypto market.
If they are able to withstand various shocks, then they will be able to hold until the ATH is reached, but will they hold for life?
of course, it will not be recommended, because there must be a highest target to sell.

And those who are truly impulsive will continue to be affected because their emotions are unstable.
Price drops become emotional turmoil that will affect their investment.

When prices crash they will try to sell, not buy to add to their assets. But when Fomo happens they start to want to buy.
Things will get messy and people like this will not be able to adapt to the volatile crypto market. 

And this is where realization kicks in on the time that they have seen or realized that the decisions they had made earlier wasnt really that ideal or really that good considering on buying when the market starts to FOMO   
and not on the time that the market do make out some crash on which i could say that this is the best time for you to enter on this kind of situation not not on an increasing market price or value which we know that potential profits would really be mainly affected specially if you are really that longing on trying out to maximize that profitability of yours. You should really be that wise on when you would really be starting to get in.
The important thing on here is that you shouldn't really make yourself in a rush because not everything would really be going on that path.

Emotions is a big problem if you cant be able to control it but with due experience and real engagement then it would be somewhat at least will really be patching up that lacking of yours
on which in the time that you are already having that significant experience then it would really be truly and advantage for you specially on this space.
1183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: July 19, 2023, 10:12:02 PM
<snip>
Haven't heard of any casino that has fixed wagering requirements in dollars. Most of the time (if not all the time), they require x1 or more of the deposit amount. So if you only deposited around $20, you'll just need to wager at least $20. On the other hand, if you deposit more, like $1000, you'll also need to wager that very same amount. Can you name a casino that has a fixed wagering requirement in USD?

He mentioned a name of casino "betfury" but I did quick search in betfury, I cant find the information given by above user unless I missed it.
I doubt what he said is correct, he must be misunderstanding the rules in betfury as it does not make senses if the wagering requirement for deposit is fixed to specific amount.
It does not make senses because it will be unfair rule especially for small depositors.
Hope he will come back to confirm, at least to tell us where did he find the information as what he mentioned previously.
They do actually have an ANN thread on here if we do speak about Betfury.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5276159.0

but checking out OP's trust feedback then i wont recommend on touching up this casino.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2848599

As for wagering requirement, doesnt matter on what platform or site we are talking, they would really be sharing up on almost the same requirements
or threshold for someone needed up to reach out for them to make out a withdrawal on what they had deposited. This had been always the typical terms and
conditions on what most casino sites as of today because of that money laundering thing on which this had been common.
1184  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation is making a mess of my savings. on: July 19, 2023, 09:28:44 PM
Inflation is a posion slowly killing society. Its worse than anything possible because wages gradually decrease, saving gradually decrease, companies start to not invest at all because inflation messes their supply chains as well, economy getting smaller bites workers back so some of them become unemployed etc. First ever thing to do, when someone enters investment league is to combat inflation and find options that will protect/secure your investments again inflation. If inflation is %5 your savings should be getting at least %5 in return etc. Hard task for average people.
This is one of the reasons that the people here in my country tend to just job hop in foreign countries to find a better-paying opportunities and it is just the reality of how it is going in here. What's cheaper in US might be expensive here in my country so the people here are perfectly fine on the minimum wage in 1st world countries.

Some people just do settle for less since they do not have the choice at all. It's better than being homeless at all anyway.
Still a gamble if you do pursue on processing everything just for you to go into other countries. Good for you if you do able to succeed but if not then it would really be just a waste of money that had been used on

processing that kind of intent on which i couldn't really blame out someone on why they would really be having those main considerations on trying out to get some job overseas. Its true that the main driving force or factor on which pushes them to make out such decision is that they do have a difficult living with their current salary and it isnt really that enough for them to support their needs specially if you do have
a family on which it would really be leaving you no choice but to jump up with this kind of decision.

In the world that we are living today on which if you do live 3rd world or developing countries which economic situation and inflation is really that worst. No matter how you do work
but if the needs and other services are way too expensive then you would really be having that messed up life.
1185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 19, 2023, 09:13:22 PM
I think older gamblers can play casino also because of the social aspect. They socialise and have fun with friends or play just for relaxation and entertainment.
Younger players are looking for more adrenaline in gambling and the possibility to win a large amount of money.
... not only adults but children in today's era, many who like to gamble.

Even if their parents do not notice. One just needs to take a look at hobbies/entertainment industries like videogames and TCGs to realize how gambling has become more widespread, in previous decades you could buy a videogame and get access to the full content with the single purchase of the copy, now there are lootboxes, which content is random and can be the introduction for thousands or millions of children into the world of gambling. I do not specially like that, because I am the kind of person who miss the old days when one did not need internet to keep games updated or access skins and collectibles.

Today parents give a phone to their children or toddlers and they do not even realize they could be engaging in some kind of gambling without even notice. Just irresponsible parenting.

Though it's really far from the topic itself but it can be reflecting to the young generation, in case that in their early age they've got attached to gambling and they experienced how to win, they will think that it will be easy access for them to earn and that same chance that they will think that they can use this venue as a good source of income, possible not to continue their study or they will get addicted if the parents will not notice it till they already engage too much.
Even how hard we do try on trying out to monitor our children in speaking on the things that they've been dealing with, then its really that impossible that we could really be able to see on what are the things that they've been doing and this is why it wont really be all taken the blame by the parents considering that we cant really be able to see it all. This is why it would really be that important that making them learn
or aware about on whats gambling on early age would really be that ideal. Gambling is for fun but not something recommendable for minors or young people to get engage into.

Making gambling as a main source of income is never been that possible, for some people they could make money but not on that constant manner on which it would come into a point
that you would already be relying it for you to make a living with it. For some maybe yes but only a few who would really be able to reach out such condition and the rest
would really be busted out when it comes to this kind of approach.
1186  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A opinion on regrets on: July 19, 2023, 08:32:58 PM
We regret about missing Bitcoin, then about XRP then about Ethereum then Doge then Shiba then Pepe (these are some top of my head and from what I've come across in my crypto term).

Point being there are always new opportunities and dwelling on regrets is futile.


The problem with humans is we always regret for what we missed despite knowing that there was a good chance that we might still not have entered it even if we had an idea about this thing. If I'll tell you today that this shitcoin could rise you'll still call me a stupid and might not agree with me but you'll surely regret it once you see it reaching new heights, fact is that your decision of not believing me was absolutely correct if factually this investment looked wrong to you, other than this you can't do anything more all you can do is trust your own fate.
Most likely, people make instant decision without doing some research at first, or making some moves so they will know if their decision is right or wrong. Then once their decision gone wrong, they will start regretting and continue to miss another opportunities again that could have change their lives. That is a wrong mindset. Yes, everyone is free to make some choices and regret it if things did not work out as planned, but staying in regrets and not moving forward will only make their situation worst, thus leaving them incapable to live their life at its fullest.
People would only do their research on the time that they would experience unfortunate things which they should have done it before or earlier so that they would be able to avoid it and would really be able to stop

with those probabilities on having those losses or mistakes that they have done.Well, we do know that mistakes and errors are inevitable on this field but nothing beats out into those someone who would really be
making up their assignment and research first before or involving into things. Regrets is really that something that would always come at the end and this is why it would really be that sensible that you should
really be making those common steps for you to avoid as much as possible and able to increase out the chance for you to have that profitable career but of course everything wouldnt
really be that so easy.
1187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: July 18, 2023, 11:58:55 PM
I think both rich, poor, and normal-status people are prone to addiction.  There had been cases and even an article stating rich people are addicted to gambling.  This only means that gambling addiction can affect and infect all walks of life except those who are not gambling of course.

People who are very busy with their work and have little to no time to gamble is surely safe from being a gambling addict but rich people who have plenty of time and find gambling as a way of entertainment may develop gambling addiction if they failed to moderate their gambling activity.
Once we love gambling and we don't try our best to be disciplined to control it, we can suddenly develop gambling addiction which is one major that can affect the way we gamble if we can decide for ourselves. Gambling is one of the easiest way to make money online but can be tasking if we can calm down and work on a strategy that can work for us and make us earn from the gambling market oenthe type of games we play. 

Whether you are poor or rich, anyone can develop the addiction if there is no consciousness to make decisions on whether we want to gamble and when we don't want. Those people who must have find themselves a gambling addict might not really know that there problem comes from a particular methods they use for gambling especially when they don't have the urge control to make decisions for themselves.
Depending on what love you mean because there is also love as a hobby and not as an addiction. It's not easy to make money in gambling, and if what you were saying is true then why we are mostly devasted? It's because we lose most of the times. And if gambling is easy money, no casino would ever survive.

It's not tasking if you will just calm down but this should gambling be played and not the other way around because at the end of the day, we can still lose no matter how good we think our strategy is. That's true that there is no financial status involved when it comes to getting addicted in gambling. In-fact a rich person can be more prone to it because they have lots of capital.
Casinos follow "the house always wins" as a guideline. Even if short-term successes may offer players a false sensation of control, the chances are against them in the long run. Casinos have meticulously planned this. Roulette, blackjack, and slot machines give the house a tiny edge. Despite the odds, many people fall for the promise of quick money. Gambling addiction is bad because of this. Gambling addiction has no financial limits. It's a reminder that this issue impacts everyone, making responsible gaming even more crucial.
Self control is always be the main issue of people who do really engage on gambling on which on the time that you cant really be able to stop midway on the time that you are aware that you are losing that much then

this is the time that you would really be putting up yourself into such huge trouble later on when it comes to finances and since you cant be able to stop then you would really get wrecked with gambling and this is something that you should have able to avoid if you do have that kind of self awareness in regarding on the actions that you are making. Going bit far with gambling? You shouldn't really make yourself
come into this kind of point because if you do then it would be too late and you would really be having those kind of regrets on which it is something that you should have avoided it on the first place.

This is why on the time that you do engage with gambling then you should really be that sensible on whatever actions that you would be making so that you would be able to avoid yourself
on such situation.

Quote from: Kelvinid
-snip-
So if the price of BTC reach $60k in 30 years, you will not sell your BTC? Don't you know that many people will sell and save the money and wait for the price to decrease before they can buy again to wait for another bull, and before that 30 years the price of BTC will reach $100k he or she has made a huge amount of money. What about some bad happen that may lead to death, but we don't pray for such thing to happen but is a something that can come at anytime as long we are human, and you know that many BTC holders don't use to share their wallets detail to their children, wife or husband based on past experiences, so if you hold like 25 years hoping that the price will reach $100k and the price manage to hit $65k and you continue holding and something happen, what do you think will happen to your money.
I understand what you're worried about - but every investor or holder has probably thought of their own way out including inheritance.

If you can be a bitcoin holder for over 3 decades - then why don't you? The problem here is not when you take profits - but how you manage the risk of your investment as long as you don't want to sell it for financial or other reasons. It's true that it's always good to sell at a profit instead of holding on forever - but all of us are not the same.
When it comes to financial status then each one of us would really be different. Let those people who do tend to hold like forever or long years then they are those people who do have other income source on which they

wouldn't really bother about their Bitcoin investment or crypto if ever it would really be going into the ground since they do have other sources on which they could be able to sustain on which this is something that would really be that an issue for those people who are really that relying with their crypto investment and this is why they would really be making those immediate steps on the time that they do saw that they are making profits or having those gains on which they would really be normally be selling out their coins for profits and rinse and rpeat.

Patience is something that would really be a behavior which is mostly that would be applied into this investment specially on crypto specially into those coins or projects which does really have that potential.
If you are really that impulsive when it comes to your emotion then crypto market isnt really for you because you would most likely be keeping on committing mistakes because of sudden
changes of price and same as with your emotions.
1189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 18, 2023, 09:41:23 PM
~snip~
I don't see anything wrong even if women go to land-based casinos to gamble alongside men, if their culture, their religion, and their country allow that, why not? Gambling knows no gender discrimination, whether you are a man or a woman, you can gamble, play any game that you like, bet on sports events, or do any sort of gambling that you deem fit for yourself and you think that you can play it with ease and have got the funds for it.

I personally don't think that women that gamble hide it from others because generally, the women who gamble are not from such backward-thinking places, and if a woman gambles who lives somewhere where it is not considered good, then it might be the reason for them to hide their gambling activities.
There really isn't anything wrong with that. But if some traditions or cultures make women look embarrassed when playing gambling in their country, I don't think women will want to show it to the public either. They would prefer to gamble secretly, perhaps in their room or alone.

Well, this might just be a cultural thing because not all countries allow gambling in their country, and there might be an opinion that if a woman gambles, it will look shameful when it depends on the woman too. Indeed, gambling knows no gender where men and women are free to play gambling or choose to stay away from gambling. But we are talking about a culture still held by some people from certain countries.
A country like mine, where gambling is fully legalized the ratio of women still playing gambling in local physical is still at its minimal because of many traditional disgust that frown against this act but the intervention of online casino broke this barrier because even myself never knew women gamble a lot as I have seen several of my nephew using online gambling site to gamble although some women still gamble in the physical casino shop but they kinda of prefer gambling on online sites because of the public opinion about the feminine gender gambling.
Im trying out to make some search about on certain countries which does prohibit out women on playing gambling then i didnt able to find one which does simply means that it is really just that common kind of
perception on which on gender inequality in speaking about women on engaging on gambling.It is really that free for everyone and there's no such thing about gender for you to be able to play.
It is really just that community does really have that common approach when it comes to gender on which it isnt really that common nor even completely not allowed on letting women to play
on certain place on which it isnt really just that right.

Gambling is for fun and entertainment, it doesnt matter on what gender you would really be having and as long it would really be that having the money for you to play then you are
free on doing so no matter what would really be your gender. It is really just that common on having this kind of gender inequality.
1190  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can DEX Replace CEX as the Future of Crypto Trading? on: July 18, 2023, 08:28:44 PM
Decentralized exchanges may not eliminate centralized exchanges but the crypto users will get to a stage where a number of them would have gotten the main idea and logic in using a decentralized exchange and many would stop the use of centralized or reduced the rate at which it's been used by the people, this may be coming on a gradual and steady way before the full explosion when everyone would have fully understand the importance of being decentralized, maybe only traders will be found using centralized exchanges in near future while holders will use a decentralized exchange.
On the time that regulation and government involvement would really go into that certain extreme extent on which they do really regulate everything then this is the time that they would really be considering on making

use of these decentralized exchange.For now, the regulation isnt really that too strict or really that trying out to constrict crypto space but i wont really be shocked that one day they would really be and this would leave no choice into those people who are really get used to CEX functions and would really be making out that transfer or would really be just simply dealing with those KYC despite on risking out their own personal details or simply their identity. It is really that hard to believe that DEX would be able to overtake these centralized exchanges when it comes to functions and other accessibility on which it do brings out great convenience.

On the time that we do see that things getting worst then i wont really be shocked if people would be starting on recognizing DEX once again but not really that much.
We cant really tell on when it would happen though.
1191  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: July 18, 2023, 08:06:56 PM


When you referred to Playstation I recalled that there was a time when Playstation gaming zone in my country was a den of illegal betting. It all started with guessing which player would win while playing FIFA and then it slowly moved to betting with money. Whether money was involved or not it will be counted as a gamble. After money got involved the gaming zone was making a lot of money as there were many better in that place. After a few days, they had to put in place security guards as the situation became critical with the crowd. When money is involved, things do get serious and sometime out of control. 
You see Technically, the argument here is that, predictions can be regarded as gambling?
Because in the end, that's what is, predictions.
When you make go through your steps to arriving at the point where you decide to pick your most suitable to triumph in a competition without supporting it with any stake, that's just prediction. It's way far from gambling, it doesn't matter if there is a prize in the end of the event, when you've got nothing to lose should your prediction mot play out, it just doesn't count as gambling.

It becomes gambling only when it's backed up with a stake of some sort. It doesn't always have to be money but, you must have something at stake to support your claims less you lose your stake.

I know that the whole secret lies in predicting things , if each sport or each thing you Want to bet on is accurately predicted, the point is to take advantage of that to win, otherwise it wouldn't make sense, things are better that way when there is talk of how to do to be able to have a better Performance than what is known, there is no other way to prove it or that if a person wants to make believe that his criteria is correct, well that is how it should be done, if there is no money Involved , the sunsets can get very boring because I have experienced it , the emotion is not the same and that is why it is Better to place bets with money.

You wouldn't really feel any thrill on the time that you do make out bets on which you arent risking something but basing up on what OP provided that there are indeed places on which offering those risk-free bets

but you do have the chance or possibility on hitting up some prizes if you do got it right which i do highly believe that it is really just that temporal because no business would really be definitely giving out that kind of offer on which it would really be putting them at huge risks on having that kind of expenses on just giving up something for free on the community for them to make bets without having those kind of bets amounts
on which it is really just giving an opportunity for those bettors to win up something that they arent benefiting at all.

Any activity which it doesnt really involved money cant really be called gambling in the first place. Even if we do say that it isnt really that entertaining on having or getting involved with these free or no risk bets
but still there would really be people who would really be having that kind of interest on diving into these kind of opportunities.
1192  Economy / Economics / Re: Can your passion lead to an increase in your net worth? on: July 18, 2023, 07:43:04 PM
There are many diverse opinions about following one's passion and wealth. I read two stories of people who followed their passion, and in a short period of time, the businesses became very profitable.

In story 1, Defossey left a job at Apple to open a BBQ restaurant in Mexico City. It made $9 million in sales last year. In story 2, Sean Audet, a 30-year-old, spent $0 launching a food photography side hustle, and now he brings in $134,000 a year.

The people in these stories followed their passion and created wealth through it. What is your opinion on following one's passion in relation to wealth? Can your passion lead to an increase in your net worth? If yes, what is stopping you from following it?

Most people end up building businesses in fields that they are most familiar in, they are able to spot an untapped niche or idea that they think can offer customers an improvement. Then there are much simpler concepts like becoming a barber/hairdresser, where your first few years are likely spent refining your skills but eventually you may move on to opening your own shop. It's all about finding the right blend and also comes down to the personality of the individual who is launching the business - the idea is the easy part, all the rest is the difficult hard work that is over glamorized on TV - but you have to juggle bills, accounts, customers, vendors, problems and all sorts of other things.
The difference on doing on what you do passioned about is really that it do really give out that kind of perseverance and inspiration to do the job well and on the time that you would be able to have that sufficient funding then you would really be  definitely be creating or making your own shop or business if you do have the chance and since it is really that included into your interest then i wont really be having doubts that you would be starting one soon. Just like on what you have said that there might be people who do touch up other niche or  type of business which they arent familiar off with but this would be case to case basis on which
some would succeed and some would not and trying out to find on what best fits for them. No one really knows on when it would really be able to show up some progress or not.

The best thing only prefers is on that you are doing into something which it is really that suits out your interest and its just an option or choice whether you would go on certain extent or not.

2. If you are making an ANN thread then you should really be making it as fancy as possible or somewhat pleasing and interesting and not just a simple line of text
telling about this one.
3. Lottery games arent that giving that high interest on gambling community on which it is really mostly that been commonly ignored or simply failed in the end of the line.
4. Do you have plans about marketing and other promotions?
5. Site design is way too simple and im not seeing Bitcoin payment option on the given selection.
1194  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto experienced bloodshed on: July 17, 2023, 11:33:27 PM
After almost 3 months now the price can return to the level of $ 30k, of course this is a positive indication that the market is soon rising, many investors are afraid that the market will collapse because the issue of Binance which is experiencing a crisis is not proven, all withdrawal transactions are still in the normal process, some even once withdrew around 15 btc or $450k from the Binance wallet.
Smart investors buy in the dip, so I doubt that they are afraid on what has happened to Binance. And as we can see, the price was not affected, on the contrary price has reached as high as $31k, meaning there is hype and FOMO again.

But we just have to be cautious as well, this price increased is due the Blackrock applying for a Spot Bitcoin ETF. So in any case it might not be approved by SEC, the price could go down again. So we will have to wait and see what is going to happen to that application and hopefully it can bring another set of good news to us at least at the end of the year.
Yes, focusing out with that fundamental is that on the time that they had been able to know that big officials of Binance did quit out or leave the company and making out some assumptions that there might be something happening behind the curtain on which the masses or the community do make out some assumptions that this is really something big or would really be that negative and this is why it did really result
into move out of funds on said platform and some do even do make out some panic sell of their BNB which it did really cause some price decrease but eventually the price now is already clinging up once again.

These kind of fundamentals arent something that could really be that ignored because we know that news or something like this could really give out some possible effect which we would really be thinking
about on having that advantage about it. Its not really that something that a shocking thing or approach because this is where usually be people on having this kind of reaction when it comes
to these things. Use it on your advantage or wont really be doing something at all or any action and just let it be.
1195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 17, 2023, 10:51:17 PM
You can't rely on a game of chance as your main or major source of income. This is the worst decision you would make. I would understand it if you were talking about games where skills may give you some advantage, like poker and other card games. However, even if you have the required skills and master the game, you should never make it your main source of income because the results will not please you.

Even if the gambler has the related skills, I doubt anyone can win the same game with consistent winnings. I haven't seen such a gambler, there isn't a concrete proven track record. Card games and poker are based on skills&luck but no one is going to win all games by being lucky consistently, IMO. Mastering the game is the myth and gamblers not going to beat house edge, IMO.
Consistent winning is not at all possible with gambling. Even the expert who doesn't care about the wagering amount fails, people use different tricks and strategies. These things doesn't work all the time. For this we need to be lucky and even the luckiest to win big jackpot losses. This is how the platforms were developed, if not within short time period these gambling houses would've gone bankrupt.
I have to agree, there are no such people who are lucky consistently on modern online casino platforms. It is possible to be lucky for months but the house always wins sooner or later. If we apply this logic, there is no working strategy or trick to beat house edge even if the gambler has a specific bias on the games.
Thats the hard reality. Maybe you can be successful for a month, but the house is going to be the winner someday. This is how it works, and when we try to make an earning out of it we should be ready to accept loss. I managed to make my previous week's payment of around 0.0018BTC to 0.005BTC and what happened at the end. I lost everything losing control when I don't had a winning streak.
House do always win and this is the sad truth and this is something that you should really be that avoiding on having that kind of perception or beliefs that you could really be able to take advantage when it comes to

on making it as your major income.It cant really be that possible even if we do speak about those strategic based games like sports betting and card games which it doesnt assure that you would really be profiting every single day on which there would really be a time that you would be losing tons and considering that we are having a daily living and then you do solely depending on your winnings on what you do it, then you are really that putting yourself on great risks.How much more if you do have a family to feed? You cant really be able to make gambling as your main source of income.

Why cant people just realize to themselves that  gambling is really just that for fun? Why they wont really be that trying out to figure for themselves about having that realistic approach towards it?

Most of the time, the trading decisions of people are influenced by the influencers that you've mentioned who are considered to be experts but in reality, they know nothing at all about the market and its movements, there are some channels on YouTube that do analysis and also gives forecasts for the market but their predictions are barely accurate, I know that the market is too unpredictable but if they don't know anything, they shouldn't influence others.

If I talk about myself, the most prominent thing that influences my trading decisions is obviously the market conditions and how they are doing at a certain time, some people make trades at any market condition and some do it only when it is either going up or going down, I do it when it's going up.

Personally, I have noticed that so-called experts sell their courses, offer trainings, etc. for ridiculous amounts of money. Now the question is: if you are a successful person, do you have the time to train someone for a mere penny? And almost all bloggers change their predictions very quickly. And in general, they make both upward and downward predictions - that is, no matter how the market develops, they are always right
What I have noticed about many of those successful traders is that they normally like to sell courses to newbies so that they can earn from them. The most annoying part is that those courses might not even worth that price they sell to people. This had made me to frown at such mentality to earn money from upcoming traders.

There are many free courses and PDF we can get online, even on YouTube to help us improved in our trading journey than buying different courses online to help us improve our trading professionalism when we can get almost related materials for free or with little fee. We need to make good trading decisions for us to enjoy trading or else we are going to lose big from trading and find it very difficult to make profits from it.
I dont consider for  those people to be successful because if they were making huge money on trading then making some ebooks or whatsoever write ups shouldnt really be done something yet it would really be waste

of time for them to get a penny if they could simply make tons on trading.Yes, there might be some traders who would really be liking to share up the knowledge but its true that someone couldn't really be able to mimic out on  whatever the things that been put up or listed on there. You could really be able to follow on whats written but it wont really be making out assurance that you would really be succeed on this one because there's no way that you could be able to know on what are the other factors which you would be needing to learn which is only possible for it to be acquired through real experience.

Lots of things would really be affecting out your mindset on which it would really be altering your earlier decisions.Its common on which its not something new anymore.
This is why self discipline and control would really be crucial on these kind of times.

Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
According to Britannca definition, gambling is said to be  the betting or staking of something of value, with consciousness of risk and hope of gain, on the outcome of a game, a contest, or an uncertain event whose result may be determined by chance or accident or have an unexpected result by reason of the bettor's miscalculation.
 Therefore whether it involves staking money or not so far it requires you to make predictions about an event then it's also considered as gambling however apart from online casino, money is not the only requirement for staking on games or events, in rural areas most people who play draft stake their valuable items over who would win the game.
Whether you are betting with money or with valuable goods, it is still considered gambling because there is at least something at stake, and when there is something valuable at stake, that becomes gambling no matter what the game is, but when you are only making predictions and not making any bets on it but you are still going to get a reward if your prediction becomes accurate, that cannot be considered gambling because if you lose, you lose nothing.

So people need to understand that a game that you play to win some reward and lose nothing if you don't win can't be and shouldn't be considered gambling but it is just a game that you play for some reward, even if it involves making predictions on real life events like sports matches, etc.
Even trying out to make up some dealing on something which no money involved but certain conditions or agreement in between parties then it would really be considered gambling.Not all would really be pertaining

about money when it comes to gambling on which same as i said earlier that it would really be also considered out on other aspects as long you are risking on something then its considered gambling.
It is really just that people who are really that get used to when it comes to gambling then it do pertains about having a balance or money on their accounts which is mostly that will really be going with literal gambling games and doesnt really count into those situations on which they are really that talking about those casual situations in life which does involved choices and decisions which it would also
gamble out their conditions or possible consequences.

A group of friends or brothers or relatives or colleagues can come together, buy some crypto asset, possibly BTC because of its credibility and then share the profit after the time agreed upon is due. They could also invest in Altcoins for quick profits on short duration.

What do you think? Let's discuss!

This could really be that applicable but this would be only good if you do make out dealings with family members but still having the chance when it comes to trusts issues considering that we are talking about money

on here on which there are really people who cant really be that trusted specially to those people who do been holding up the funds. For traditional investment then it might be applicable and possible since everything could really be having that kind of agreement or signed or notarized basing up on what had been agreed upon, doesnt matter if you are family or total random person who do share up on the same interest or concept in mind about pooled investment. The main argument on which people would really be that realizing is on how they would be making up decisions if ever this one be applied on crypto investment?
Who would be the ones will really be holding those invested amounts considering that you would be holding up for long term? This is why i would say that this isnt applicable on crypto space
but rather into those traditional ones which it is really that realistic.

Believe and believe that Bitcoin will reach a new ATH in this cycle that will repeat in 2024.
In every cycle, a new ATH is always formed and this time should not miss this good opportunity.
Buying and holding now is still quite worth it, Just need to wait a few months before the 4th halving cycle is reached.

Looking forward to an all-time high break out will be quite difficult, it depends on how you work mentally.
If you panic too much, you will not reach the ATH and always sell when the price is still at the breakout point.
Holders are optimistic about the next cycle.
The opportunity must start now, never delay if you don't want to miss any trains I think this is the right time to buy and hold for more than a year to look forward to ATH in 2023/2024.

If their mentality is weak, of course there will be a lot of panic when there is negative news coming especially during the prolonged bearish period it is like their patience is being tested so in theory mentality is very important in bitcoin investment.


You wouldn't hold if you arent that optimistic on which it would really be that normal that they would really be having that kind of approach when it comes to things because they've seen about its potential to increase

its price on certain cycle then they would normally be that having that kind of approach.Ideally, we arent that too far off with that level of price on which it is really just that x2 on which we know that it isnt something
that hard for us to reach out those numbers but of course pushing it up with that kind of level does really involved certain amounts of positive news and  events on which it would really be that catalysts for such positive movement which is something that you would really be needing on doing so. This is why if you are really that minding about the possibilities and having those kind of hopes
that price might be able to reach out then holding and accumulation would really be your target point.

Managing your investment is something that crucial and making out decisions depending on what you are currently dealing within this market. It is truly that unpredictable and random i should say.

If those gambler are good enough or luckiest person in the world then 1 lottery ticket are enough to win the jockpot and have a chance to become a millionaire but as an ordinary gambler that thier luck is not in Thier side then for sure 1 ticket is not enough to win the jockpot they need another more tickets in order to have  a chance to win the lottery jockpot. But in lottery once you always bet then you will loss and loss because the chances of winning is very small.
It's true that with only 1 lottery ticket, he can win the jackpot and become a new millionaire. And that's the magic of having luck because there are no obstacles for him to win that jackpot. And it's very rare for most people because it only comes to one lucky person. That is why winning the jackpot from lottery tickets is very difficult and even if you have a lot of lottery tickets, it does not guarantee you can win.

It's called beginners luck. Some believe in it some don't. It's when a beginner doesn't know the game and what the rules are but decides to place a bet. There is no logical explanation, but most of the times, bets placed by those beginners wins, most of the times. This is why it's called beginners luck.
Seeing some of my other friends get it, I believe in beginner's luck. But beginner's luck will not always come to all beginners because luck will also choose anyone who deserves it. And maybe this is what happened to the beginner who got that lottery ticket and managed to win it so it will be his luck.
Absolutely mate if a gambler us luckiest guy in that day then he can win even though he have only one lottery ticket which is pretty good enough with him. And also what you are talking above about the beginners luck then all I can say is that is true because I've heard a lot of stories about beginners luck which is they can earn a lot of money when they are in first time playing game and bett a good amount of money.
If I am allowed to say my mind, I will categorically make it clear to everyone that the beginners luck is nothing but a myth, I've heard stories about that too, but to be honest with you all, there is absolutely nothing like the beginners luck, it's simply a myth that many people have come to believe in unfortunately..

Anybody can get lucky and win a game or the lottery, whether it be a beginner Or an OG, there is nothing as the beginners luck, it does not exist.
Beginners luck is indeed a myth because there's no exemption when it comes on being lucky,whether you are experienced or newbie and on the time that you do make out bets and make out some direct win then
if its a noob then it would be called like that but if not then it would be considered to be normal which there's some unfair way when its come on descriptions on things. We know that lottery is a pure luck based game
or thing on which you would really be needing all the luck of the world for you to be able to hit up the jackpot. We know that chances and probabilities are really that too slim which is close to impossible
and we arent that blind when it comes to odds on hitting those millions.

This is why some do stop and some do still continue because on having those kind of hopes that they could really be able to hit it even its close to impossible.
Lotteries are best in terms of money to be won and changing up your life entirely when it comes to money but these are once in a lifetime opportunity.
