141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: February 16, 2024, 08:50:06 PM
Those that don't have self control will learn it the hard and expensive way. All it takes is just an experience that they will never forget.

If they haven't seen that yet to themselves then that's what they need to do. Because if they were able to control it some years ago, it's possible that they can again.

But if they don't think that there's not enough reason for them to do it, going back to the former, it is going to be another experience for them to realize it.
Gamblers who do not have self-control will only lose more money and cannot prevent losing after losing because they continue to gamble. That will be a problem for them because they cannot control themselves in gambling so they will only lose their money rather than get money from gambling. If they can't realize it, the problem will get bigger, and they won't be able to prevent it anymore. What's worse is that they will experience a gambling addiction that they won't be able to cure easily. More problems will come to them when they don't want to learn self-control, so we have to master good self-control.
It is going to be a cycle that they can't get rid off.

When they want to gamble and then for that reason is because they want to recover, they will never recover. Let's say some of them finally have recovered but out of the many, how many actually did? maybe really a few amount of gamblers.

Realizing their state and how gambling works will make them analyze themselves if they're still on track or no longer on it and that's why they need to control no matter how long it will take.

Congratulations to you.

That's an early win that you can enjoy. If you are comfortable selling now and taking your profit, you're free to do it and then wait for the pullback and buy from there.

But if not, you can keep on holding on since you're in profit, there is no need to pressure yourself of when you're going to take it. Let it flow in the dance of the market.
143  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can you make everybody to win in their crypto trading? on: February 15, 2024, 11:42:36 PM
Even crypto trading experts cannot make everybody to win or earn big profits from their crypto trading at the same time because, for some traders to wait till the real bull to show up in the market, it will make them to feel they are about to miss the opportunity and it can lead them to loose no matter what you do to help such trader.
Even themselves sometimes lose and that's a real thing.

So for one to make the others win, they need to be consistent first with their trades before teaching. But what we're seeing in social medias having these trading gurus.

All they teach you is about the basics and strategies that are based on paper and they don't really execute the trade. While it's a good thing that many learns from them but sometimes, many of them goes to the point that they don't admit their failures or failed trades.

Yes, I do have a little problem with gambling but it's not very fatal, because it's only occasionally when I spend a lot of money while playing, not often or rarely, but I'm afraid that in the future it will get wilder.
It will get wilder when you don't control yourself. If you're scared right now then you know yourself better and how it can go further.

With this knowing that you can be severe gambler although you're not at that point means only something big for you and you have to be aware of that.

Because if not, then the expected thing on how you'd gamble big since you've said that you are spending a lot of money as you gamble can end up worse.
Everything will return to a person's self-control so the problem doesn't escalate. However, we are the ones who have to try to overcome the problem because if not, we will only be followed by the problem without knowing how to solve it. And when you feel that you might lose self-control, you should really learn self-control so that you won't become wild in using your money. We don't know how long we can still control ourselves when gambling, especially when there are so many temptations in gambling that make us really need to be able to control ourselves. And when we can master self-control, it will make us better at using gambling as entertainment and will not overdo it when we gamble.
Those that don't have self control will learn it the hard and expensive way. All it takes is just an experience that they will never forget.

If they haven't seen that yet to themselves then that's what they need to do. Because if they were able to control it some years ago, it's possible that they can again.

145  Economy / Speculation / Re: A new ATH before halving. Is it possible? on: February 15, 2024, 08:29:02 PM
I'm always thinking of what if the next bull run cycle will be entirely different. I don't know how it is going to be different and unique but the possibility is there.

Estimated two months to go for the halving to come. Still a lot of things can happen and the same goes to post halving which OP said that likely after a year will make its ATH.

Although the uncertain part here is about when the ATH will be reached but with certainty, it is for sure going to make new round of ATH.

As of now, hard work is a must, along with smart work, which is much more needed as everything is dependent on technology. People who were able to think smart will progress and reach the next level of life, while the rest will just move on with what is available.
I agree with what you've said that work hard and smart work needs to be tandem. But in today's generation, it's with the collaboration of technology, everyone can be a genius.

So that means about the idea of solving more complex problems and even the simplest problems that are also existing in modern times.

We can see that everyone can be an inventor of their own idea so as startups come and it shouldn't just be idea because everyone can have the same thought and idea. And whoever goes out there first to execute it is the genius and inventor of it.
149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC to Bitcoin ETFs - The ownership are shifting to centralized ownership on: February 13, 2024, 10:24:14 PM
This is bound to happen.

It was just the community itself and Bitcoin folks that are into this and wishing that the institutions will join the game and they finally did. Realizing that these things have to happen for Bitcoin to grow more in value.

But it's true that you've said that it seems that majority of the sold Bitcoins are going to them and for their own benefit and that's normal business for them and we'll never know when they're going to sell it all in a blow.

The house always wins, vegas wasn't built on winners
Exactly.

In gambling, the house always win and that's what luck is for and that's for the gamblers and not for the house to decide if they are in luck or not. And that's why we're always telling it to ourselves on how lucky we are when we gamble and win.

The house win in the long run... But that doesn't mean all the users always lose. Sometimes we see users walking away from the casino with profit, and that's what they call a good day at the casino.
That's true, we win sometimes and the other gamblers as well.

It's common to see most gamblers lose but there are the winners that we also see.

Is weird to see this, i know, but it's possible to win, and that's why there are a lot of gamblers playing against the house.

The house have the odds in their side, but a gambler with the right luck can make profit, that's a fact.
It is possible to win but the chance of winning varies at all times because of what we know that the house always win. We say always win because they've got a bigger share and a business but definitely no question that some gamblers may win along side with this common thought we know.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: STOP telling people how much Bitcoin you have on: February 13, 2024, 07:44:47 PM
It's always a trend to know how much someone owns as that's how curiosity is. But it's true that we don't have to be vulgar with this kind of matter because it's more of a personal info that we shouldn't disclose to anyone.

You're putting yourself as well into danger of being wrench attacked by someone through this disclosure of how much you earn. And much worse about threatening your life and being kidnapped.

People might think that it is too much and exaggerated, no. It's not exaggerated and if it's too much, it truly is because it's about your safety.
152  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What traders must know on: February 12, 2024, 11:53:01 PM
The safest is not go with any leverage or if you want to, just set it to 2x. Start all with spot and you don't have to go with all of the leverage and be jealous with other traders flaunting their wins and profits on social media through futures.

You have your own way of trading and there is no need for you to do what the herd does. Maybe your profitable way of trading is through the spot and there's no need to put pressure to yourself.

It's not always the amount that you'll gain but as long as you make a profit and you're hassle free, that's winning like a champion TBH.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you beleive in the concept of "Luck"? on: February 12, 2024, 06:49:34 PM
There is no such thing as luck in gambling,
There is actually and that's what every gamblers do believe.

at the end of the day you will always be the one that gets fucked.
This is true.

154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about the lost BTC? on: February 12, 2024, 12:30:57 PM
Those lost Bitcoins and forgotten are totally forgotten and lost forever. That's the compensation for us that it becomes scarcer and the supply limit is even lower because of them.

That means, with the number of many investors in the market and with a lot of lost Bitcoins totally. There are limited Bitcoins that are in circulation.

This is why holding bitcoin is good for the long term investors.

I have three emergency funds for investments and always try to invest consistently but if I ever have a financial crisis I use my emergency fund for investments. But if I spend money from the emergency fund, I try to replenish that fund very quickly later because it keeps me more focused on my investments.

I think you got it wrong when you're using the term of emergency funds and investments. Emergency funds are there for any unexpected expenses that you're going to use.

While for investment, you have it planned and that's why you're going to use money there for exactly that will be there.

If you're in a financial crisis, that's when you'll be using your emergency funds but it's not just limited to that use. It's just so happen that I think that I understood it differently based on what you've said.

And you're doing the right thing of replenishing it once used.

I think I've seen this as an ad but it didn't made me use at all. I use the browser itself because it's helping me to avoid ads.

But if it's about web3 and other chains supporting browser wallet, my only to-go wallet is Metamask. It's all for those many chains and been trusted by the majority.

Maybe it will take time until the Brave browser wallet will be trusted. Whilst the service itself as a browser is a good one.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 10, 2024, 11:04:04 PM
Trade deadline has passed and I don't see any news about Lakers doing something about it. While they've lost against the Nuggets, I think that it is good that there's no trade for them.

Most of the fans have heard about D'Lo getting traded as the rumors weeks ago. But now, that the deadline is done then that only means so much for him but he also said that he don't want to focus on it.

Kyrie back to Nets, for real? I was surprised.

I haven't heard Kyrie going to back to the Nets?
I've just seen it likely from the rumors.

Russell played very well in the remaining days before the trade deadline and that might be the reason why the Lakers chose to let him stay instead of trading him.
Lebron wanted to win a title on the Lakers but TBH, the current roster of the Lakers isn't enough to be a playoff contender. I might be wrong though, but I just hope that they will not get swept again in the playoffs if they clinch.
Yeah, IMHO. That move of Lakers was a win for their good players that have shown them good performances. While it's very likely that he'd be traded, good decision from the management that they didn't pursued it.

As for Kyrie back to the Nets, I don't know if the Mavericks will like it. I mean the Nets don't have enough assets to attract the Mavericks. Maybe if they will include Mikal Bridges in the trade then it's possible, but aside from that, the Nets have nothing.
Gone are the glory days of the Nets when Kyrie and other companion of his were still there.
158  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which sort of investor are you? on: February 10, 2024, 01:56:46 PM
Time will make you better and tougher.

To any reason or description you think of trading is, what matters is that how you're learning on your own mistakes and the experience that you've gathered overtime is applicable to yourself.

With those experiences that you've got, that will make you a better person and means a trader if you have been rough times and you already know what you are up to. If you are for trading or investing.
159  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC or Love on Valentine's day. What's your pick? on: February 09, 2024, 11:37:23 PM
I have seen a couple of friends received amazing gifts from loved ones during Valentine's period but I haven't given one neither have I received because I don't really celebrate Valentine perhaps because I haven't been in love before🙄.

My friends came up with an idea to take some time off this year and travel  to carrebean inland to catch fun and perhaps, I might find Mrs right in the course of the holiday but with BTC on a bullish move, I feel taking a whole week out of trading is a crazy idea even though the rest is needed.

Is there any trading event I can leverage on while on holiday so I can catch fun and earn at the same time.
Mate, just enjoy your holiday and vacation and forget about trading at least for a few days and just get back again when your vacation is done.

When I do this, instead of chilling and unwinding, I am even more stressed when I go back because I'm not good at it or you're giving your mind something to think while you should be enjoying.

And, what's your goal there? Try to find the mrs right as you've said.  Tongue
160  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think? Lump sum vs DCA best accumulation strategy. on: February 09, 2024, 10:21:37 PM
Whatever is comfortable to me, I'd do that and personally both of these are good as long as I buy to an entry point and price that I think is low. Then that's all that matters.

The condition of each investor varies and that's why we're doing what's the most comfortable way and accumulation strategy for each of us.

If you have a huge batch of capital and you're going to spend it to an investment or into Bitcoin then you don't want any hassle and you'd just buy it at once.

While an average guy that don't that much money and capital to invest, DCA is the best so it varies per situation every investor.
