The key to fighting or stopping addiction is if you no longer have money to gamble. Gambling addiction was my struggle before when I'm still new to crypto. I have a lot of sources of income which makes me free to gamble anytime that I want. I can't stop playing no matter how hard I want to stop back then so I decided to remove all the money from my wallet. I give all access to my bank account to my wife and then she just gave me spare money for gambling.
No matter how you try to act like you don't have money you'd still look for a way to get money to gamble that's what I know, because you can't deceive yourself. Removing your money from your wallet and handing it to your wife can't stop it as far as I know, you can ask for money for something you want and there's a possibility that you can go and gamble if not online but shop, and you won't stop but continue in that line. So to me those options isn't 95% helpful. And if she even give you spare for gambling are you telling me that you'd stop gambling by doing so? 😁 Until now, The only money that I'm using for my gambling is my forum salary and some part of my crypto investment that is currently on my hardware wallet. It's very to fight it if you have all the available resources for it especially if you don't have much social life to redirect your focus out of gambling.
Well that's your own way of trying to stop it, but I'd say you should try your best to have a pattern, not winning pattern but a way to reduce the way you stake. You can decide to avoid staking or gambling for 2-3 days or more and see if you don't gamble in a day if the betting company will come and ask you why didn't you stake or gamble today😁. You can stay a whole week without engaging in gambling, believe me you'd feel different. |

Pep has always been the man to win the champions league this season and it all went well in his favor, but the problem is that all 3 Italian teams went into the finals and lost all. Is something to worry about, although Inter played better than the other 2 teams, talking about Fiorentina and Roma.
Inter tried but they didn't come out to play City, they just try to use the counter attack on City which didn't work and the Inter Milan side wasn't fast to capitalize their opportunity.
To be frank with you guys, this season wasn't a season for the Italian teams, I can't see them (Seria A teams) getting this far next season.

If it's important, then save from now even though your income is small. Because that's not the only reason for anyone not to save money in their life, especially if it is to maintain their health and to balance their life in old age if someone doesn't get a pension from the government. Apart from saving money from now on, everyone can also invest in real estate and also in currencies like Bitcoin because these two things can also help someone manage their old age better.
Not everybody knows how to save or even drag their hard earned money to invest in either Bitcoin or real estate like you said. Not that they don't want to but they need a push, like someone to push them to make that big move (although we still have people who does things without being pushed to do it). I know of someone who used the little money he gets from his hustle to build his own house, not that the money is even enough but he did it 50/50, invest in half of it and use the remaining to take care of himself and his family, now he can smile and enjoy his sweat. Even the old can save talk less of we the younger ones, we have brighter ideas on what to invest on. |

I don't know why some people in this platform are looking for what to eat at the moment, not know that they can invest in a potential projects that will put food on their table, and they will not lack what to eat and what to spend in future. I saw some message in the Bitcointalk.org where some users are trying to sell their account just to get what to eat not knowing that they can use that account to work to get a huge capital that will bring them out from poverty, and make food surplus in their home.
My dear sometimes is the mental that humans have that's the problem, the way we think has a way of affecting us positively or negatively, some will say "you need strength to do things that would fetch you money" which is true because you can't do things on an empty stomach. But looking at it on the brighter side, life is all about risk and there are few others who sees life that way. If you can't take risk then you'd think low and nothing positive can come out of it, just eating and eating without looking for a way to multiple, that's why some people remain poor. If you see users selling their account it doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing, that's business on the other side, and don't be deceived by what you see. I knew some senior members in this forum that started using member rank to work before they get to legendary to spread many investments around the country, because they didn't look for what to eat at the moment than to work hard to used their opportunities to invested in BTC before they became who they are today.
Talking about users who use their account to invest from what they get from it, my dear is just that they have a target. Not everybody who gets paid can use his or her money wisely. Some can see making money as a means of spending more than investing, that's what lack of planning does to ones mind, you can't think of a lucrative business to engage in only spending lavishly. There's nothing wrong in spending but spend wisely, take care of yourself, do things to keep you fresh, enjoy your money but remember that it has to be replaced. |

Think of when you hit a jackpot, and some cool cash slide into your pocket, you feels better and step up some pride and involved arrogance, you feel like you can buy the world with your peanuts lol, bro, I little shopping out of it can makes you look like a poor man again. There is this oil dealer guy in my community who happen to be hot market pro in the oil industry, he owns an oil well but this guy it gets to his head and start contesting for political power which he has lose twice now and the worst of it now is that the oil well is dried because suck the money into politics, loss everything. This money is never really enough, no wonder even the President of nations still fights to get money after office.
No amount of money is enough in a man's life, if a particular amount is enough I believe by now the richest man or woman would have stopped looking for more money like stop any businesses that fetch him/her money. There's no specific amount that can speak for you that you're ok for life. That's why if you look at the way politicians struggle to stay at a position you'd ask yourself "what is he still looking for?" They (politicians) know how fast the money comes when they're in a position and you can't say when given honey or sugar that it should be thrown away or reject it, No you'd take as much as you can carry. Greed sometimes is a cause of doing such, and some people don't know when to say is enough for now, that's why money always control the way humans think. To me I don't see money as the root of evil, I see humans urge to get more as the root of evil. |

Wow I think it's just to break your phone and shot yourself away from internet and smart phones or electronics.
Just kidding 😂 .
But the truth is that an addicted gambler will never accept that they're addicted and it .amen it hard for them to get help and most times, the victim might pick offense if they're been reported to security personnels and might not feel happy about such even the local community might not happy with you.
The moment you notice that someone is persistently making bets and making huge losses, I think it is the responsibility of everyone around the person to cautions the gambler and that's one of the ways to help call someone to other.
Very funny @QueenVera, I almost fell for that. Well, when it comes to gamblers and how you want to look out for them it will seem like you doing the wrong thing, they just see the good you want to do for them as something bad. Have seen someone who lost so much money and yet sees everyone as his enemy despite the fact that he was given an advise to go and try another day. I don't know how it is for an addicted gambler, any time they didn't play is as if is that one time miss that they've to win big and you're to blame for it if you're the one stopping him/her. |

Anyway, this season was an unlucky season for Juventus, unlucky with a point deduction penalty that made Juventus fail to finish in the top four. So, I think that with Juventus only getting a ticket to the Conference League next season, I'm sure this case has nothing to do with Dybala at AS Roma. However, one thing that I must mark is that there is no easy way to win the title, even though on paper Juventus has a very big chance to win the Conference League trophy next season.
I quite agree with you on that, the old ladies have suffered all through the season with deduction of points, first was 15 second was 10pt and imagine those points weren't deducted I don't think Napoli would have found it that easy to stay up at the table or even winning the title with so much ease. Well the fighting spirit was still high on the old ladies but they did their best to even qualify for the Conference league and I hope the sanctions won't join them when next season begins, it shouldn't be a curse that's following them. For Paulo Dybala, he wanted to be in that Juventus side but I still can't tell why he wasn't given that much playing time, he was just like a newbie who hasn't gotten any recognition on the Juventus side, if is not starting from the bench then he's nowhere on the starting eleven. His move to Roma was the best decisions he has made even if they didn't win the title (UEL) but he's a key players on the Roma side. |

Gambling brings so much joy especially when you're on the winning side, when things are all in your favor it just seems like you should never stop. But when it gets bad, you look for a way to pour out your anger, either on someone or on something.
When someone is addicted to gambling I feel it's worst than one who's addicted to drugs.
So much has been said about betting companies regarding how they should be responsible in helping those who are addicted to gambling, although is really hard to do so on there own path because gamblers can't be monitored.
I don't know if booking an appointment with a therapist would help or is something you as a gambler who wants out should do on your own.
The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...
How do you fight this battle?

As it is Liverpool are hoping to play in the Champions league next season and they're praying so hard for City to win tonight's game against Inter Milan. A win for City is a guarantee that Klopp will get back to Champions league football, with the signing he has made, is not only playing the league games, the UEL and the domestic competitions like the FA cup and CARABAO cup, a player like Mac Allister (the new signing) would prefer playing in the champions league come next season than the Europe league and it might happen for the World Cup winner. And with Liverpool engaging in the Champions league next season I feel it will be an open door for players who wants to play for Liverpool to be easily attracted to them.

Today is the deal day, a day that Pep Guardiola needs to get things right to be the first ever Manchester City coach to lift the champions league trophy, that's if he gets to win the title tonight and on the other hand, the Nerazzurri talking about Inter Milan side last saw the finals and won it under J. Mourinho in the season 2009/2010 and since then they have been off color, is it time to come back to winning ways for Inter? Nobody can tell how tonight's game would pounds out.
The Inter Milan side would be settling on how to stop the highest goal scorer of the Manchester City side (Erling Haaland) but the question is, is he (Haaland) the threat in tonight's fixture? To me is a big no, instead of thinking on how to stop Haaland is best to think of a better way to stop MANCHESTER CITY because they're the main target, and CITY have all it takes to nail the Italian team and get a win...
In tonight's encounter it won't be just an ordinary finals but I think is time for Pep to break the curse of not winning the Champions league with the City side.

You should not have to ask anyone whether your post was good or not, and surely if there was some kind of appreciation of your post then you might get some merits for the post - and even good/great posts do not always receive merits.
Maybe what I said came out wrongly but with the way you painted it was why, that I should improve on my post quality, it was as if nothing have said in this Forum has ever made sense or weight up something of more informative concerning the topics or thread. I did not review your post quality beyond just commenting on the post that you had made that had re-vived this thread from its prior inactive status. I'm open to corrections but it doesn't mean I shouldn't air out how I feel and when I see good things I shouldn't say it, come on,
Who cares how you feel? Apparently you do, but it is largely irrelevant. Are you talking about some subject matter in this thread or just coming to the thread to talk about how you feel about the topic? That is a pretty uninteresting post to come to a thread and to start to discuss how you feel about the topic, while at the same time, not even really attempting to grapple with the topic beyond merely continuing to want to talk about how you feel about your feelings and how my response to your post further made you feel. things I said has nothing to do with getting merit in as much as is one of the goal or what is used to measure how good our posts are. Like I said maybe I made a mistake, still learning from you high ranked members though.
None of us is necessarily restricted to responding exactly how another member wants us to respond, and each of us has an ability to figure out the extent that we might believe that it is helpful or useful to frame the matter in a way that might have been different from what the earlier posting member had thought to be relevant.. including if I brought up the topic of merits because I thought that the topic of merits was relevant to the point that I wanted to make.. whether you appreciate that perspective or not. You are right. I am not sure if research is necessary, but practice does likely help, and also if you try to tie some of your experiences into your post, you ask questions, attempt to engage with other members, and even provide some insight (or sharing of your own experiences and opinions that relate to the topic of the thread or even to some issue that might be raised by one of the posts), then it becomes more likely that other members will recognize you as a contributor to the forum, and even if they might not sent you an smerit for that particular post, they might send you an smerit after seeing several of your posts and appreciating that you are providing some useful or even thought provoking information...
You make me laugh senior, you know in life you can't give what you don't have, talking about experience, I haven't gotten much of that experience that you have or some other users have concerning Bitcoin on this Forum, I'm still new to it so if I'm learning or new where is the experience that I'm going to bring? Of course, there is a lot of discretion regarding whether to post and what to post and self-assessing regarding the extent to which you might be able to add value to the thread (or some post(s) within the thread) based on your experiences and/or perspectives. I don't want to start acting like I know it all like some users do just to fil among, mehn... I'll do what I have to do, I also like contributing in threads I find myself
Again.. these are discretionary matters that you are bringing up... and of course, you can choose the extent to which you participate and maybe weigh whether it is a good thing to participate (whether you are aiming to help yourself or to help some other member or to help some random reader, since a lot of these forum threads are mostly open to the public). (don't kick me out on that Mr @JayJuanGee)
Sure longer standing forum members do seem to have more power in terms of their having had achieved a track record, but even longer standing members could get themselves into trouble if they try to act like they have power that they don't have.. and much of the time, I try to not flaunt rank and try to take members at their word, even if the member has not been around the forum for a while, yet sometimes it can be seen from the post that the newer member might sometimes be engaging in some kind of problematic behaviors which might justify using stronger language against the newer member or maybe just reporting the post.. and there are some forum members that will report the posts of new members rather than attempting to engage when the quality of the post might be questionable, or seeming to be of relatively low standards and/or even off topic. I get your point and what you said iamd the way you put it, is hardly said by some users so you have to know that you getting me exposed to many things, I appreciate it.
Well hopefully you are learning.. but I can already see that you might incorporate feelings into the topic or your posts, and that could surely get you into trouble to get distracted in those kinds of ways.. but hey.. you do what you like and see how it works out for you... and we surely are getting further and further off topic from the topic of this thread, so maybe both of us will end up getting our posts deleted because we are seeming to deviate way too much. I believe that in the case of Bitcoin, the velocity should be calculated using the quantity of coins that are apparently available and released for use. I believe this because Bitcoin means a variety of things to different people and organisation, and its capabilities are fairly complex.
my first thought is to go to say that for a sustained velocity it needs a constantly new number of (new users/Interactions).. A constant entrant of new users to bitcoin isn't just enough to create a good level of velocity of the coin. With the current number of users of bitcoin all over the globe yet the velocity doesn't correspond with the users and that's because so many are using it as a store of value while a very few are the ones using it as a means of exchange for goods and services. Unlike dollar where almost all users mainly using the currency as means of exchange for goods and services all over the world. Another important thing that can sustain a good velocity of bitcoin is the lifting of restrictions imposed on bitcoin by some countries around the world as this restrictions has made the users in these countries focus on just seeing the digital currency as a store of value whereas the BTC has so many usages that many users haven't experienced it with. Surely this post from Lida93.. is a great attempt to get us back on topic. We can see that sometimes when governments are being hostile to bitcoin, then a lot of the bitcoin HODLers will pull their bitcoin off of exchanges, and surely that decreases the quantity of BTC that are available to circulate in the economy. And some people claim that El Salvador's increasing friendliness to bitcoin might appear to increase the bitcoin that is circulating in the economy, yet their ongoing over-reliance (or adoption of bitcoin by pushing the lightning network) does not increase bitcoin's onchain usage enough.. and there are various potential problems with lightning network having ways to fractional reserve too.. especially having some custodial services that are part of the various ways that people are using their BTC in those more bitcoin-friendly jurisdictions. Bitcoin's liquidity or the removal of coins from circulation is not exactly a static concept because we even have seemingly contradictory declarations out of China where they make aspects of bitcoin illegal in 2016 (freezing coins on exchanges), and then making aspects of bitcoin mining illegal in 2021.. and then recently letting off and seeming to want to promote bitcoin (at least in Hong Kong) in 2023.. so those kinds of changes in liquidity can affect velocity - to the extent that we are talking about affects upon onchain bitcoin and those new third parities might be holding their own keys or assuring that the have actual bitcoin to back up the claims that come from new entrants into the bitcoin market. Got up this morning and saw this huge assignment, I thought is something I can pass through.
(Cut out)
I think the correct phrase should be... I woke up this morning and after reading this thread then I thought maybe I should go and whore on some merits, I might be lucky to get a panderer to drop some for me. No need to thank me for the correction.  Actually that might not be an unfair summary of what it appears to be that Sexylizzy2813 was trying to do at the time of the post to reopen this topic (from it's previous inactive status).. yet it seems that it would have had been better to try to post something close to being on the topic of bitcoin, liquidity, velocity or something that might have had been somewhat closer to adding some possible value. By the way Sexylizzy2813.. if you want to continue to respond to the various ideas of my post (which are also mostly off topic and meandering into meaninglessness), maybe you should think about possible ways to address the actual topic of this thread (related to bitcoin and velocity or something close to that.. have you even heard what is bitcoin?) rather than just continuing to respond to my posts in regards to how you feel about my responses to your seeming ongoing desires to stay off topic. Thanks any way... Everybody is entitled to their opinion on how they think of other people. And I'm not dragging the way I feel into any threads. Velocity is the speed at which transaction take place and when it comes to the velocity of Bitcoin, it is calculated by dividing the 90 days evaluated by USD transaction volume by the 90 days average USD market cap... have you even heard what is bitcoin?
If I have? It seems I'm hearing it from you for the first time😅😂 I have already before asking... Is a cryptocurrency thats BTC and is a virtual currency that's designed to act as money in form of payment outside the control of a group of persons or entity and also the removal of third party involvement in any form of financial transactions. Got up this morning and saw this huge assignment, I thought is something I can pass through.

Real Madrid has this confidence that they can still bounce back to winning the La Liga title next season with the way they want every quality players across Europe. Well they're doing all it takes to cover the spot in their squad.
With Benzema leaving the side I don't know they can get someone who's good as him or even better than him. Well the Madrid I know can get anybody in the transfer market but the question is, can they develop more in their scoring habit and try as much as possible in winning the league.
Real Madrid must fix some weaknesses in their squad and lately Benzema left Bernabeu so they will have one more task to replace Benzema by a new striker. I think Real Madrid squad are competitive enough but they can not stay silently in the transfer market and think with available players, they will win La Liga next season. Barcelona won La Liga in this season and they will become stronger in a new season. With this logic, Real Madrid will have more tasks to do in the summer than Barcelona. Barcelona are not perfect and their weaknesses can be exploited too that is proven by some clubs in Champions League and Manchester United in Europa League play-off matches. Tasks for Real Madrid are improving themselves to win more matches in a new La Liga season and try to beat Barcelona in El Classico. The Barcelona team that won the league this season was struggling to the point that they found themselves in the Europe league where they couldn't even find it easy to compete. I don't or should I say I never saw Barcelona winning the league this season with what Madrid have as their starting 11 and on the bench as well but they messed up the chances they (Real Madrid) had to be at the top over Barcelona. Madrid was in good form but I couldn't tell what happened to a team that's good and suddenly they went off color. I felt bad for them (Madrid) not to give Barcelona that hard time to be crowned Champions at least delay their celebration. |

There isn't much difference between a guy or a girl who wants to learn about Bitcoin. Both genders are equally interesting and while there may be slightly more guys interested imo. I also know some girls which are my friends who have been into Bitcoin and have been investing for a while now. One of them, making literally a lot of money through trading and that's not surprising because she's a kinda nerd.
I quite agree with you but where you said both genders are equally interested is where I yes no, some girls might find it boring let's keep the income aside, while I say they [girls] might find it boring is because the profit is not come more on like everyday when they engage themselves in hair making, and you'd agree with me that Bitcoin trading has a lot to do with patience and a productive strategy so some see it as less quick money. |

Got up this morning and saw this huge assignment, I thought is something I can pass through. Frankly speaking I'm still new to this (Bitcoin) and I still see myself as a newbie in the Bitcoin section.
Maybe I'll take my time to read more comments on this thread as this is new to me, who knows I might grab something new. There's always room to learn and improve in what we do.
Yes.. a good place to start might be to improve in your post quality.. since you did not really say much of anything that might actually relate to the topic of this thread or to relate to the contents (or the points that were raised) of any of the recent thread posts. You're one of the best in this forum when it comes to posting and getting more fact and I'd like to do same as you. But my question is how can one know if he/she is doing well in terms of dropping a quality post, sometimes I ask if I'm doing it right or not, it's gets me worried. Is like you have it all on your finger tips, what's the secret, please don't tell me research Mr @JayJuanGee😅 |

My younger sister told me that how you bear your pocket money because dad doesn't give you much money without education fees. I told my sister that I have a little investment in Bitcoin and I am a short term trader (though the fund is little). She told that she learned about Bitcoin at her ICT related books. But she has not much knowledge about it. Then I tried to teach him the basics of Bitcoin. At last I succeed though there are enough information to learn by my sister. She told me that she is interested to be a Bitcoin user. And already she started to keep some money from daily pocket money and after that she will invest in Bitcoin. I told that not only you but also other girls should learn about Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. She told me that she will share her experience about Bitcoin with her college friends. I am now much happy by sharing with my younger sister about Bitcoin and will be more happy if she share information and teach other friends.
Not every guy would do what you did, by teaching your sister about Bitcoin, at least you shared the knowledge you have about Bitcoin with her and who knows, as time flies she might become good at Bitcoin trading than yourself 😅. Hope you have introduced your sister to Bitcointalk, have you? You have no idea what you have saved her from, at least she won't be depending on any one, having a means of getting her own cash and reinvesting is a big win for you and her too. I feel is hard to see women engaging in Bitcoin trading that's why some people think women can't do such. Well to me I feel everybody can do whatever he/she feels like doing (ones you put your mind to it) no matter the gender. |
