That's true when most people say here that when we get older, time is quicker. I can attest to that and I didn't know even that for a fact.

But I can say that I have a great childhood and I can still vividly remember many of the activities and games that I did during the younger days.

I'm going to the stage of being old and I just feel that the time is very fast and that's why I am just enjoying the remaining days of my life. That's one realization I've got and I hope that all of you too.

And when you are responsible, you don't gamble when you don't have money. Why is that? Because someone will still gamble despite having no money and will do things to get money like selling his important stuff or will take a loan.

That's not being responsible and that's why when you have no money to gamble, better be quiet and just be contented that you shouldn't gamble at all by that day.
On the time that you are already taking up some gambling or consider on doing one despite on having that financial lacking then it does signifies that you are already addicted to it and this is something that a must avoid thing for someone who had been dealing with it. Play for leisure and entertainment and never ever make yourself having those delusional approach towards it because on the time
that you would be having that mindset then it would really be that making yourself that desperate on doing gambling. This is why it would be always best that you should only play
if you are bored and never ever tend to chase up those kind of beliefs that you do have in mind on which making easy money is possible. You are really just that looking problems for yourself.
We tend on saying that, that we should gamble only when we've got free time, for entertainment and other trivial reasons.

Even if say that many times, we can't control what's on the mind of the other gamblers. While we can be aware of that, but when on the actuality, the situation changes.

When there's the emotion, the bigger amount of bankroll getting involved. A lot of things changes by that time and those reasons will be forgotten.

But if someone is known to be responsible with their actions, I think whatever is the reasons for their gambling, shall remain as is.
1203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: December 26, 2023, 10:16:51 PM
That's the danger if we put too much hope in winning, especially if we set the number of wins or target the number of wins as my friend who I mentioned above did, the main problem in my opinion is placing too much hope in winning and thinking too much about it. all of that is easy when you are in a winning situation, which of course makes you think "there's no harm in pursuing a little more" which of course ends up regretting remaining at the end of the session.

With a low level of hope and not being too excessive in responding to winning in gambling, I think this can make them slightly reduce their sense of satisfaction with winning, or meaning that it doesn't matter how much they win, which might make them consider the best option to take, such as cashing out. earlier.
IMHO, there's no problem if you're too optimistic with your bets and you're hopeful with them. But with what we've experienced, when you get to the point that hope and optimism you've got don't match the results. That's the time that you need to change and probably a sign to just stop.

But overall I think everyone especially those who think using common sense will agree with the idea that greed is synonymous with behavior that is not recommended, not least because most people already know about the adverse effects they will experience if only the action is done, especially related to gambling which basically always involves feelings, mental and psychological that can change at any time just because of the situation. So in conclusion most people will not agree that greed will always be able to make them end up with satisfaction, because in gambling it is very difficult to achieve such results.
Yup and I do agree with that. Someone who's letting his greedy eat himself will go nowhere to be found. The effects and impacts of it will be too obvious to see and we've seen it not just with a few people but with several and lots of them in the past.

And what's scary is that number isn't decreasing.

Responsible gambling to my best of knowledge is staking what you can bear it gives you the room to know and understand your strength and weakness.
And when you are responsible, you don't gamble when you don't have money. Why is that? Because someone will still gamble despite having no money and will do things to get money like selling his important stuff or will take a loan.

That's not being responsible and that's why when you have no money to gamble, better be quiet and just be contented that you shouldn't gamble at all by that day.

I've got some friends in some of those countries that you've mentioned but definitely not with North Korea. But you know what, even though the entire nation based on their religion and belief doesn't celebrate Christmas.

You can count on it that some people that are actually into those lands are celebrating it quietly and despite that, they're happy that they are still able to celebrate even with that circumstances.

So, if a country doesn't celebrate it wholly is because of their culture, religion/beliefs.

A lot of people have been asking me this question, so I thought I'd ask you guys the same. My plan is to diversify across promising projects, optimize with rebalancing, and keep a level head throughout the ride.
I'm done with the promising projects.

It's better to just stay with Bitcoin and if you want to diversify, get into real other assets like real estate, land properties, etcs. Be wise when you're going to diversify. It doesn't have to be into several altcoins.

But consider also those assets that are appreciating over the period of time. Many altcoins are good today but stability is what they lack of and they have uncertain future.
1207  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Give respect to your teachers and parents on: December 26, 2023, 07:50:30 PM
None of these teachers are more important than the other because both compliment each other.  If for any reason one of these two fail in their duties,  the child suffers the consequences. Both should be highly applauded and appreciated for the role they play in forming the child's personality.
I agree.

There's the foundation from the parents that's being built and then it goes nourished by the teachers in the other aspects that they're going to teach which is already started.

Failing from either source of teachings will have a bad impact on the child as you've said. And that consequences is going to reflect on how good or bad the parents are.

While parenting is important and as a parent, if you see that your child doesn't act mannerly. You'll have that question on your mind if you have failed with parenting.
1208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 26, 2023, 07:24:27 PM
I don't like watching to these streamers either because I know that they do what they do for money so they lose credibility.
I agree that it's obvious and exposed what they're doing. If you want to see real gamblers, they're too rare nowadays.

As an entertainment I understand that if your favorite star or influencer starts playing it must be something very entertaining to see , but it's not my case and I spend my time elsewhere.
They're entertaining when you don't typically see them stream casinos and all of a sudden there's a change of the wind and they start to stream gambling games.

Until it catches the attention of the casinos and gives them sponsorship and funding for them to enjoy more. In return, they're giving their exposure to their audiences.
1209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I don’t think bitcoin is now decentralized on: December 26, 2023, 06:54:22 PM
The fees should even make you believe that Bitcoin is decentralized because no one controls the network. With network spam, everything is still possible as long as it successfully congested by the ordis and other brc20 tokens.

The miners are doing their job and they just mine and confirm transactions. If you'll pay slower then you know what's gonna happen with your transaction and do you think it's worth it to wait longer?
1210  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: December 25, 2023, 11:52:02 PM
No bias reviews and just actual honest opinion would suffice the readers like me from these casino reviews that we have.

To cover all of those good and bad features that they have and the actual experience although it varies per user but it's good to gather all of those experiences whether they're good or bad.

That's why many of the casino reviewers here are loved for being honest.
1211  Other / Off-topic / Re: 10 platforms where you can earn money performing tasks on: December 25, 2023, 11:24:38 PM
There are scam websites that are also doing the same tactics like the typical scams that will ask the freelancers to ask for an amount to get deposited for them to "promise" their employment.

Not only websites but likely scam employers. So, it happens on many platforms so please be mindful on that and if you're an aspiring freelancer and they're asking you to have some deposits, never oblige yourself to follow that instruction.

Don't get blinded by simple red flags for your own sake.
with all the details we keep telling people , with all the updates and advises we are bringing
them continuously then it is their fault if still become a victim , we cannot protect them completely but at
least we are guiding them for better result so it is depending to their response and understanding and
also their greediness will make them always a lose .

Scammers will be there no matter what, we cannot prevent them from trying to scam people
but at least never let yourself to become one of the victims.
Even on the most known marketplaces for freelancers, there are scammers and that's why wherever you go, you are with yourself and it's your only ally that shall make you avoid these scammers.

In fact, you correctly noted that the Bitcointalk forum is an excellent platform both for earning money and for expanding your knowledge in the field of cryptocurrencies, here you will find a lot of information and valuable experience from people who are successfully engaged in earning cryptocurrency.
That's right, even Bitcointalk is a platform that you should be part of these lists and this is the coolest and greatest platform of them all. No doubt!
1212  Economy / Economics / Re: No petrol/diesel car sales by 2035/ Reality or dream? on: December 25, 2023, 10:57:15 PM
Too bad they are getting rid of diesels. Mine are around 75% efficient, nowadays.
It depends on a country where you at but this is a very inevitable adoption that most countries will do. As long as where the world is heading, most of the countries have to adapt from the situation.

But I think that there will still be countries that are dominant with diesel cars that shall retain the supply of their cars and will still keep up with it because there's a market of it on their country.

We will see on how these changes will take effect when majority of the rich countries are already into EVs.

Gabe Vincent won't be able to play for around 6-8 weeks because of the knee surgery that he's going to have. Always a tragic moment when a player goes through an injury and will need to have a surgery. Too many playing time will be gone and missed.

1214  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin is highly uncertain on: December 25, 2023, 09:57:29 PM
Well, we don't have to complicate the situation because, in the first place, the creation of Bitcoin was not to replace paper money but just an option.
IIRC, there have been a lot of arguments about Bitcoin's future and how it will replace fiat money. I think many of us here have believed that way until we realize a lot of things. So, that's just too much optimism from us.

The challenge of Bitcoin adoption as a currency was due to the support of the government as these business owners can't afford to take the risk of accepting Bitcoin if not officially legalized.
That's true.

A government can't just fully support Bitcoin because it is decentralized on its nature while the government doesn't favor that because they have no control over it.
1215  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You lose more when you over trade on: December 25, 2023, 09:28:17 PM
Old people or newbies can never profit through over trade because over trade will lead to losses for most traders depending on the market dynamics you have to invest there will be times when investing in the market will have a 99% chance of loss.
That means that no one's going to make profit with trading because you've said either old or newbies.

Overtrading isn't bad at all but I also understand that there's no need for a trader to go and overtrade when he's already in profit. With that means to say, when someone who doesn't have enough profits yet.

They will overtrade because that's what it means to them until they reach certain profit that they're targeting.

Now, the next goal is to keep stacking your bitcoins from the campaigns that you are part of.

1217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: December 25, 2023, 08:25:31 PM
Yeah, we're even tired of telling the other gamblers to stop being greedy and when they need to stop, just stop completely so that they'll not wasting their money.

But that's how it is going for most of us, even if we're seeing people don't obliged with our advises, we're continuing to give them the advise that they need to hear so at least they've heard or read us give that tip of care to them.

To be honest, I also feel that boredom, which means when the people we advise really don't follow what we have suggested. I have one friend who is also quite active in online-based gambling such as slot machines, in a week he can be involved up to several times, more or less maybe 5 times a week, he is one of my close friends who often spends time together and I am very tired of telling him that don't put greed and it's better to cash out when the situation is in his favor or he means he managed to get a win. But he always says "just a little bit more", he sets a winning amount, like $200 and when his winnings are still below that amount then he won't stop. A few minutes later I'd ask him again "has it reached that amount" and he'd say "it's all gone again" and I'd honestly just laugh at him. It happens a lot, and so the point is sometimes even though we have given advice quite often it always cannot be denied that the advice we give will be completely useful, greed really makes them like closing their ears and not listening to some of the advice that comes in even from the closest people.
Same story from most gamblers.

We will never get that profit if we're not contented in the first place. Whether it is a hundred dollar profit or less than that if the gambler doesn't see its worth by that time, they won't withdraw it.

Yes that's true, but sometimes there are always people who think that the greed that they apply at that time will be able to make them smile broadly at the end of the session in the sense of reaching the amount of victory they want, simply put is that they assume that "this time I will not be one of the people who are adversely affected by greed", that belief is always the initial problem. I think the main problem is in the expectations they put, if indeed they put excessive expectations on gambling then obviously something that we always consider dangerous maybe for them it doesn't hurt to try or even with a few tries, the cause is due to expectations that make their confidence even higher. But if we understand overall that greed can always be bad in any case then I think they will object to doing it and prefer to cash out early.
That's the difference of greed for them as per description. If it helps them to have that satisfaction at the end, that's good for them but for the majority, it doesn't really do any good.

I guess so.

But they're no longer hardcore as 2021 when most of the projects are NFTs and Play to earns.

Sometimes I just feel like it takes away the joy of playing games for fun
Games are also a business and I understand you with that perspective of being a gamer when most people involved with these games are not for the fun but for the money.

I also do understand them because most of these P2Es requires vast money to start.

But unfortunately regret always comes at the end of the action when everything is already answered, and of course regret comes to confirm that the actions they took before were wrong, after all it is not uncommon or even very many people who advise and recommend to avoid acts of greed, especially in gambling activities, sometimes not only in this field, even in real life if we put greed then usually the final result is more disappointing, so that's why the importance of being grateful for whatever we have got. Greed is like you're negotiating with fate where basically fate has already said that that's the amount you should get in that session but because you're not grateful and instead put greed into it then fate will say something else, which is defeat. Let me know if the analogy isn't quite right. Cheesy
Yeah, we're even tired of telling the other gamblers to stop being greedy and when they need to stop, just stop completely so that they'll not wasting their money.

But that's how it is going for most of us, even if we're seeing people don't obliged with our advises, we're continuing to give them the advise that they need to hear so at least they've heard or read us give that tip of care to them.

Yes although overall greed does not always result in something worse but still if the percentage of disappointment is more often due to greed then it is better for us to avoid it. True, regret will always be a painful thing, and of course as you said that we can make it a lesson so that we don't go back into the same hole for the umpteenth time. If they have fallen in the same hole several times then I guess I have to suspect their mental health. Tongue
Let us not give a number but let us say it this way that overall of it, the majority that are greedy doesn't end up good when they gamble.
