And I agree with your opinion that we should only gamble with small money because it is a safe way so that we don't regret it if we lose and lose our money easily and quickly.
Even with small amount when we gamble, there's the regret afterwards. You'd feel that when you don't gamble at all times.

But when that money of yours came from something that you've worked hard, you will have sometime before you move on. The better thing with that is, yes it's small and you can afford that to lose.

Just as a heartbreaking story, even with small amounts, you'd also feel especially if you're living economically challenged.

This is the time to buy bitcoin and if you have the opportunity please buy because it is a plus to you and you will gain more as bitcoin increases in the value and good future, bitcoin has a good future coin
We've been telling that for ages.

Those that are able to do it for themselves, you're doing yourselves a favor. But even some are telling to buy, are they also buying?

We don't know and just like me who pushes people to buy when the price is right, you can't be sure but we all know ourselves better.

I've got some stack and will have more of it soon.
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: May 11, 2024, 09:36:13 AM
This likely has to do with societal view. There are environments where activities like gambling aren’t socially acceptable, they might also hide it to avoid being judged or interfered by others. For certain people, they just love their privacy and are secretive about what they do so no one knows (nothing is wrong, they simply prefer you don’t know). If it was an act that is widely praised, the number of people who hide to gamble would decline.
Until now, it's not accepted by the society and everyone who gambles is already a bad guy to them. They are quick to judge but when they'll be the one to get judged, they hated it.

So with that reverse card, I hope that those people that gets to judge the gamblers will start to realize that judging them won't make them a better person.

But instead, try to give them some good words and thoughts or even reminders and ask them what does gambling does to them.

I understand where you are driving to but it depends on the environment/society you’re in. There is such society where people don’t care if you gamble or not because they are just all about their business and nothing else.
Yeah, there are those places that don't care what you are doing as long as you're not going to their space and not harming them.

It's better to live in that place when no one is bothering you whatever you do in the public as long as it is your own business and you're spending your own time to it.

I've heard a lot of stories about this kind of scenario that their funds were frozen by the bank because they can't provide any proof where it came from.

But if you have got one, you have nothing to worry about.

You shouldn't be required to prove anything, if they think money came from illegal source they should prove it - not you that it isn't.

And mostly they first freeze your account and then ask questions, so it's more like an extortion of information.

That's why I don't trust them anymore with big sums, If I buy something expensive I buy it in installments so the bank never owns substantial amount of my money.

If they freeze one of my installments, I will send my lawyer on them and create account in different bank.
And this is the reason that if you're going to take advantage of the banks, just use them as an outlet of your money from crypto -> fiat and then don't save money there.

It's how they become rich and I agree with you that don't trust them with big amounts of money. If you are planning to save a lot for your future, put it into an asset that's liquid.

Not put your entire cash and network through a bank, you don't know what policy they'll modify without any further notice.

Another problem is when you're going to sell a lot from your portfolio, the exchange might even ask you for more additional documents/kyc.

The best strategy is to do it in stages, I don't send big sums anymore to the exchanges after all what was happening.

I now do it in maximum of 5k USD worth of coins, after I receive money in my bank account - I repeat until I get my desired amount.
It can sometimes takes weeks but better than being frozen for months (or forever) and begging doing monkey tricks in front of exchange with all the KYC nonsense.
Yes, that seem to be the strategy of most that we all knew. Doing it on batches.

There's always the possibility of your bank account freezing the funds, you could withdraw it after each step but I don't like dealing with physical money.
That's another reason I have my money in cryptocurrency, no one can freeze it and I can use whatever bank / country I want if I need to use FIAT.

I have the upper hand, not them.
The banks are always monitoring each of our accounts and as long as you're good in the threshold that they set for each customer that they have, you won't trigger their alarm for something suspicious.

I've heard a lot of stories about this kind of scenario that their funds were frozen by the bank because they can't provide any proof where it came from.

But if you have got one, you have nothing to worry about.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They put an end to online gambling: what do you think it's going to happen? on: May 11, 2024, 07:55:43 AM
Earlier this morning I was going to work in a bus I over heard, some one complaining very badly that if the government tries to put an end to gambling. That many people will die in hungry with this our economy which nothing is working, no work for people food are at higher amount in their and some people are benefiting from gambling this days, that mostly him his benefiting from gambling.
Where are you? Vegas or Macau? If either then I'd believe that he's right.

That with $200 he can stake and win about $100000 daily something that you won't even struggle to get, they can't even pay someone at work monthly up to that amount. So if their is no more online gambling that means definitely there won't be no more gambling at all. So how will you cope in your country if eventually they put an end to online gambling?
But if he's a casual gambler, I don't believe with his words that he's going to make that much. Most of us are losing and having a bad day and with unbelievable amount of gain with a small bankroll.

That seems to be a sign that he's addicted.
147  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Meme coins signals group here on: May 11, 2024, 07:24:26 AM
A nice way to promote your signal group and in not in a denial to your approach of marketing but please be honest to the people.
It surprised me to see that there's 185 people on that group but how many of them are real?

Tell them the losses you made while investing into meme coins also don't only tell them the profit you got once in a month also tell them the daily base loss that you bear. Meme coins are unpredictable.
That's the trick, they only tell the wins because that's what we want to hear. But if it's about losses, no one wants to discuss it because most of us have got that disgusting ratio compared to our wins.

No body can predict them so how you're giving signals?
Whatever he thinks of, but it's best not to join any of these signals group.

Nothing changes with those irresponsible smokers whether with vape or cigarette. If I go in an open area, they're mixing the air.

I've got a strong sense of smell and that's why I'd hate it if someone vapes or cigarettes. One reason why vape is popular because it's marketed to be safe than cigarette.

But danger is still there no matter how they market it to the cigarette smokers.
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? on: May 10, 2024, 11:49:05 PM
so many of people who is into gambling does not know about the gambling that is why they always complain of losing in gambling
I don't think that they got into gambling without having an idea that they're going to lose. If they gamble and they complain that they have lost, they're not responsible people.

But I don't think no one on Earth is like that.

They'd gamble and they don't have an idea what gambling is, in the first place they need to deposit whether it's with the physical or offline and online.

Which means they know gambling but I just can't understand it.
150  Other / Off-topic / Re: Human temperance on: May 10, 2024, 11:14:53 PM
So I would like to ask, do you believe that practicing temperance can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment?
Yes.

It's another way to control yourself and if you're always having a hard time to remove that kind of emotion that you shouldn't do. Being low temperance is going to help you with that.

And what are the strategies to use in cultivating self  discipline and moderation?
Taking a deep breathe will help you control yourself when you're already feeling bad and you think that it's going to come out.

The question is if I have got money? and a lot of spare? I'd also choose Coinbase.

As you're like owning the company and the same goes for Microstrategy but it all boils down to the point that you can buy directly with Bitcoin. But this is me, you earn a portion of the company not Bitcoin when you buy them.

That's why I think Coinbase is a good option, while Bitcoin is here to stay so does Coinbase and MSTR but I don't like MSTR.
There's like 35% increase with Coinbase based on what @CryptoHeadlineNews said, and Microstrategy is on a 200% increase so I'm not sure how it would be logical for you to not own some MSTR stocks when you said that you've got the spare money. In regards to what I think about these stocks though, I don't feel like most sensible financial advisors would recommend them as your way into stocks, they're not bluechip stocks that would give out consistent pay outs or dividends to you every quarter, you're better off buying a stock of Coca-Cola or Apple or Amazon because they're pretty established already and I think they give out dividends. Just own bitcoin directly if you can do it, making it difficult for yourself to do it with all these extra steps is way too doozy.
As I've answered that with my other post, it's about the tenure of MSTR and Coinbase.

For me, Coinbase is still young as a company with a stock and that's why the advantage is on the early investors of it. While for MSTR, it's already tenured and have got a lot of whales on it.

As you've said, it's best to own Bitcoin and get some dividends from those known stocks. And as for the Coinbase global, it has also dividends but I don't know most of its details.
152  Other / Off-topic / Re: If you found a new way to make money playing games, would you tell your friends? on: May 10, 2024, 05:52:54 PM
No.

Those friends of mine are going to be my competitors in the economy of that game. And that's why I don't want to share that to them until I change my mind.  Cheesy

But most of the games that are profitable, they're no longer a secret and you'd just be surprised that your friends are also on it if you're in the same group of circle that are into crypto games.

But instead, try to give them some good words and thoughts or even reminders and ask them what does gambling does to them.

Anything to support people for doing what they like is fine, I know that many hide the activity of the game to avoid problems with their families and with their various jobs, but this is something that should not be done, if there is a person who They don't hide alcoholism nor hide infidelities, why hide the fact that they like the casino? There is no point, if the person who is playing does not harm anyone, why hide the activity, don't you think? The money belongs to the person, it is not the money of others, if it were the money of others they would have the right to get involved, otherwise no.
It is the same with the hypocrite people. They're good in criticizing other people but they've got a thing that they're been hiding for ages.

Instead of stopping the criticism to the others, they keep doing that because they think that there's nothing wrong with it.

And that's how they are telling and believing things against gamblers but they don't look and clean themselves first.

That's why I think Coinbase is a good option, while Bitcoin is here to stay so does Coinbase and MSTR but I don't like MSTR.

But just like any other top crypto companies which faced their failure, you also need to keep track like the updates regarding Coinbase business and the people behind it. Clearly, a lot of investors would choose Coinbase for better opportunities.
But if you are keen in observing the trend of Coinbase vs Microstrategy stock performance and see their performance, you can for example buy some Microstrategy stock and sell it while you are in good position. So this decision depends on how are you going to attack these markets and just like how CryptoHeadlineNews make an assessment for these 2 stocks.
Yes, it's normal to track them on how they're doing.

As for the trend for both companies, MSTR is doing well this time over all the years. While Coinbase global, it's still a young company and I forgot to say that's another good reason to invest on it.

When it flies so high, I'd be part of it. But going back to the reality, I haven't got any stock of theirs.

Don't forget about Luka, but they seem to struggle with their first game against OKC but let's see later.
OKC seems to have an answer to Luka or even Irving. Their play doesn't revolve to just two players like SGA or Chet.
I'll wait that later with their game if they have an answer about that. Most of the outsides were out of luck with their first game and that's  the reason why they're able to tap out.

Yes, it's really there defense on the Nuggets in the first 2 games that really surprises everyone, it's not physical defense or something, but it was enough to bother the Denver and they don't have any answers so far even if they played at their homecourt.
That was actually an annoying way of defense that have pissed Murray.

And then we have the young ANT and probably it's a sign in the NBA that the young core are taking it over. No Steph and Lebron in this playoff, but we have ANT, SGA and others very young and star players putting up a show for this year, times have change now.
Too many young calibers that are on this semi finals and this is a great show to the league that the young ones are taking over.

It only means that the new generation is sending a message to everyone. Don't forget about Luka, but they seem to struggle with their first game against OKC but let's see later.

Wow, you must be rich now but still able to explore things and trying to find some gems again through different projects.

Being rich and being your own bank when it comes to cryptocurrencies is another problem, you'll have to be very careful because you don't want this information to be leaked to criminals.

The "five dollar wrench attack" I'm sure everyone is familiar with is very real and the more money you have, the higher the rank of criminals that will be interested with you so the wrench will become a gun at some point.

And if you pay taxes from crypto, you must assume this information has already leaked because people working there has been caught in the past for leaking information.
That's why I don't even mow the lawn in my backyard without a gun, being your own bank is a good thing but also a big threat.

When cryptocurrencies will be as common as having paypal account, criminals will assume you have one so flashing your wealth is not a good idea.
Seeing how many crypto holders have their "laser eye" avatars on social media is a bit disturbing, I think they don't realize how real this threats are.

I guess, that's the price of freedom.
That's the sad truth about the misconception of many people that when they see someone in crypto, they're telling them that we must be rich.

But in reality, not all of us are rich. We can be well off in life and able to achieve our dream things but it's not that extravagant and way super rich for which is playing in their minds.

Another problem is when you're going to sell a lot from your portfolio, the exchange might even ask you for more additional documents/kyc.
160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: May 09, 2024, 08:58:57 PM
This means that rich people only see gambling as a place of entertainment to fill their spare time when they feel bored in the midst of their busy lives. Wink
That's true. They have money to gamble and it won't bother them if they go in a losing streak. While those that have just enough or don't do good with their living.

One lose and they're going to have an headache already. That's the reason why we tell everyone to gamble what they can afford to lose.

Because the rich are gambling because of boredom and they don't have to aim for the wins, they let the casino win and they are not emotional when they lose.
