this is where proper planning comes into play, if you don't make the right plan about how you will go about your gambling habit, you will always find yourself in a corner where even after you've won a bet, there would always be a high tendency to gamble it out again.

I just like the way you titled this thread "the real meaning of winning is withdrawing. until you've taken the money you've won out of the betting site, you've not won anything and the probability of loosing all of the money is as high as anything. What some people do most of the time is to take out a portion and then use part of it to still gamble. That's wise to some extent but if you're not careful, you're most likely going to loose the portion you've set out and then use the remaining portion to gamble again. But then, it's always you that have the final say regarding how you go about your gambling but for me, once I win, I zoom off ASAP.

even if they don't win in the Euros, Portugal has a team collection that will serve as a serious threat to any opponent they will go against. Seeing christian Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandez on the same team, I would want to see how well they would be able to blend into the game and play together to strengthen there attack.

The media seems to be suggesting that the two weren't exchanging talks in good terms due to Ronaldo's explosive interview with Piers Morgan in which he criticised United and boss Erik ten Hag. We know how these media guys can make a big deal out of nothing and I just hope that Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandez will put thier total dedication and level of experience together and help thier national team to at least the Euro finals.

I don  talk am before say the moment crypto no de functional again for this country, the kind of hardship when we go experience no go be small thing. Man know man don spoil our working sector and almost every youth don loose hope on the system and na just for crypto and other one or two online jobs them take de survive. As our country de like this eh, the only people when fit follow our politician talk about money matter small na some of our snr crypto bosses and other men when de do some other online tech jobs but the thing be say them no de too show there selves like that.

Some of us when de even do signature campaign go attest to the fact say the reason why we no really de feel the pains and hardship in our country na based on say we get this additional stream of income when don help us so that we no go de depend entirely on the small money when we de receive for our working environment. Imagine say one cup of garri now na 500 naira and wetin the average man for naija de receive as salary na 50k, so in essence if you wan use your salary buy garri na just 100 cups you fit buy with the 50k and what happens to other things you need to buy within the month knowing that 100 cups of garri won't even be enough to take care of a family of three for a month.

Crypto don really help to serve as an alternative stream of income for somany when de into the system and anybody when de ready to get the best out of it would most likely not feel the impact of the economic stress that's in the land.

from the way I look at it, after I have laid out plans on ground for my DCA, if I receive an extra income or some sort of bonus from any source, it's iether I will use part to strengthen my emergency funds while i use the rest  to make a lump sum purchase since keeping it in fiat form and waiting for possible DIP before buying might put me in a position to likely spend it on unreasonable thing old i will keep it all for lump sum purchase, but even with that, i have to first off decide how long to wait for a DIP and make it too strict that I must not wait past that time regardless of what happen. But putting this two options into consideration, the best would still be to do lump some purchase once you've removed any fund from it, that's if it's even necessary to add up to your emergency fund.

Note that apart from the problem of an investors inability to knowing when exactly is the DIP, almost all investors would normally want to buy at the DIP price and it doesn't mean they have to go out of the plan or to do anything strange. As much as buying using the DCA methord helps to keep you consistent with your routine buys, a complementary approach that could add up pace to your accumilation is to also make provision for buying during the DIP buy that still requires that you set out special funds for such purpose which wouldn't work to well for someone that's just fresh to his bitcoin accumilation journey and that hasn't figured a lot of things out financially.

the thing about the Nigerian super eagles players is that they don't know the advantage they have as a superior in that group and or maybe they knew it and allowed it to get a total grip on them I can't even begin to explain that a team that went to the AFCON finals and that has players that are doing too well for themselves in Thier individual clubs can't even win a single match after playing four consecutive games. You draw against south Africa and allow Benin republic to win you? How is that even possible for crying out loud? And the funny thing is that they even played well in the first half and become too comfortable and casual untill thier opponent starting blending into the game and snatched the slightest opportunity they had. It's just a shame that we don't even know why we are called the giant of Africa. At some point and don't even want to blame to coach cause they players already know the importance of playing in the world cup but choose to play nonsense and now the coach receives all the blames for it.
I thought it was based on mutual agreement that he's going to work with the Nigerian national team till the of the AFCON and that's going to be the end of his contract. Finidi George was actively serving with the then coach throughout the AFCON and I guess they felt he had what it takes to lead a national team. I once thought that getting a local coach to take care of our team would be the best option but when you're considering the level of experience foreign coaches have compared to our local coach, you can't help but wish that our old coach is still the one that's in charge of our national team or even if it's still gernot roh, it would have been better. Didn't you see how he led the underdog of a Benin team to win us as if we are just anyhow team?

the right context to this argument is that the rich win more whenever they win and looses more whenever they loose. The rate of thier win or looses is purely dependent on thier individual betting amount. Let's say for instance that the supposed rich guy placed a bet with a $100 at a time and the poor bets with $10 at the same time. What will determine if they will win the bet is not just the amount that's used in playing the bet but it's more of the luck that they have or probably there experience in the bet. Let's assume that they placed the same bet and won 2× of the amount they stakes. So the rich literally won $200 while the pooran won $20. Did the rich win more than the poor man in this context? I truly doubt that that's the case and even if you reverse the scenario that they both lost in the the game, it's still a function of the amount played. If you bet with more, you will win or loose with more and if you bet with little, you will win or loose little, it's just simple as that.

Basically, such statement would mostly mean that the knowledge of maths would enable you to calculate your gains and looses in gambling and understand that if your loss outnumber your gains, then you should start considering opting out of Gambling and that the reason why most people continue gambling is that they don't know maths to even ascertain tye difference between there losses and wins. If the analogy is with regard to this thought process, then it's a bit understandable but outside of this, general knowledge of maths plays little role in determining the kind of bet you stake iether on a casino or in a sports betting match. Being knowledgeable at Maths generally helps one to be more smart at the things you're doing and and people that aren't maths wise tend to struggle with technical stuff but outside of this, I've not really seen any serious application of maths in gambling.

These are all good reasons why Bitcoin is an exceptional digital asset that's not just standing to serve as a medium of exchange but has the quality of an asset that can be invested into. The full ownership of Bitcoin that all users enjoy and the transparency that enables all transaction that's going in and out of the block chain to be visible to the parties makes things even much simpler and transparent between most parties involved but we should be careful not to assume that it doesn't have a major disadvantage which is that once you've sent a portion of it to the wrong address, it becomes impossible to recover the already sent coin.

Let's always note that while Bitcoin is good and useful in many context,  it's never an indication that it's a substitute to the fiat. Bitcoin makes transactions in the financial sector much easier through the block chain technology but us best used side by side with the fiat such that in areas where the fiat has limitations, Bitcoin becomes the direct alternative while in areas where it's not easier to use Bitcoin, fiat would just work perfectly fine.

I'm truly sorry for your sad experiences in life and I can only imagine what it means for all your properties to be taken away from you by someone you call your own girl friend. It's life and the highest we can do in this case is to advice you to take it as it it has already happen and find a way to pull yourself together. Don't know your health challenge but I do know that health issues could be a serious hindrance that could prevent one from following most dreams and doing most jobs and the best option to consider in this context would most likely be to look out for remote jobs you could be doing from the comfort of your home that will help you get your feet back and then you can figure out life from that spot.

Like AGD has recommended, search out for freelancing jobs on the site he provided or do your personal research on and off this platform to see if you would see jobs that will pay you well, I know there are remote jobs that will accept you, if your location is within the states and I'm just wishing the best ot luck out there.

when it comes to an act like gambling that you have full control of, I don't think that the gambling company should be penalized for your recklessness.

People get addicted to Facebook and other social media platforms that affects thier productivity at work place and in life generally and you don't expect the owners of these firms to do the rehabilitation for the individual. If we're even considering a source of addiction that's rampant which is the smoking addiction as well as the adult content site, that's even the area where it's necessary to talk about rehabilitation of her users and thr number of users of those site and substances outnumbers the numbers of addicted gamblers we have on the street.

Just like the way you're advice to drink responsibly, smoke responsibly and not to go to the adult content site of you're not matured enough and not up to 18 years at the least, it's also the same way most gambling sight don't allow people that are not of age and that are probably immature to go into gambling.

this has little or nothing to do with your gender to be honest and I doubt anyone has a thing against female being a part of the forum as it's obvious they aren't that much and needs to be part of the Bitcointalk.com community so as to balance things up.

If you had just stated the name of the coin you invested into for those period of four years so people that are interested in learning from your experience could get thier fact right, it would have solved the whole case and no one would judge your past ignorance.

Personally, I haven't stayed in the crypto sector more than a space of one year even though I had known about Bitcoin prior to then but actively, I've only stayed both on the forum and the Bitcoin sector for not more than 10 months but within this space of time, I know about the effect of volatility on ones holding and some other basic things about DCA and best practices to be followed in safeguarding my holding. If I'm to consistently DCA for a period of 4 years into a particular coin iether Bitcoin or any altcoin, I would know almost everything about the coin even before the second year of DCAing.

No one hates newbies and surely, we all grew from being a newbie to whichever great rank that exists on the forum and anyone that speaks bad or degrade a newbie because he is of a higher rank  obviously has a questionable character.

wow! I find this part of your story a bit strange. How is it that you were able to invest into a coin for a period of 4 years and yet you've not witnessed the coin being volatile within that space of time? I'm curious to get some details on how the price of the coin was within those period of 4 years wether it's being going up or just remained stagnant at the price you bought it.

shitcoin will always be shitcoin. They might do well after few years but has a greater probability of going too low with time.

that's the more reason why research is necessary before getting started in anything.  Why you refused getting the basic information about a particular thing you're going into most expecially when you're investing into an asset that's as volatile as Bitcoin or any other digital asset, you don't joke about knowing what you're getting yourself into.

Now that you've learnt your lesson and you know better, be wise enough to know how to go about with your DCA and ensure that you're aiming for the long term so you don't become bothered again when there is a possible DIP along the way.

I find it hard to understand why we make a big deal out of the role Bitcoin has to play in solving basic problems our leaders are supposed to be solving. It's the same mistake that the federal government are making while they were busy attacking crypto as though that's the main problem we are facing in this country.

What are the major causes of crime in our society? is it not due to the financial gap between the rich politician and the poor masses that makes the poor masses to resort I to criminal activities? Do you think if they are doing well financially most of them will go to the creeks and bushes to look for valnourable people to steal from? Do you expect them to come out of those hideout to invest into Bitcoin? If we're not ready to set the right structure in place that will ensure that those engaging in criminal activities are engaged and works provided for them, forget about any criminal activities coming down.

Bitcoin is just like Money. That money exist doesn't mean that you have money. Until they have a means to get money, they can't invest into Bitcoin.

the code difference between the Nigerian super eagles and the bafana bafana is that the eagles are yet to blend well in Thier play while the bafana bafana understand thier kind play and used it to thier advantage. Contrary to most person point of view about the draw, I don't think that the coach is responsible for the inability of the super eagles to winning the bafana bafana of South Africa, it's more of the players attitude towards the game than what formation or player the coach uses. Most of the Nigerian players where playing individual football and weren't connecting with themselves as expected. The attack wasn't working and the midfield was porous at some point, they lacked a standing attack like what we've seen with victor osimehn and although I expected lookman to replicate a huge part of what he did in his club finals in this match, he played below my expectation and missed a lot of chances.  What's bad is that this is not a friendlies but a serious world cup qualifier and they had to play to bad only to get three points from three matches. Let's just be happy that the south African team didn't come to our home to win us if not it would be a massive disgrace. But huge respect to the two teams, they improves a lot in Thier individual play.

what are you even saying? You mean vini jnr isn't impacting his team or what? Have you really watched him play for his club? Except you're trying to be too sentimental and biased here, the only people that comes close to him on that list in terms of being a strong support to his club is just harry Kane and tony Kross. Vini jnr has been the central point behinds real Madrid ability to winning the champions league and this is not just about is last goals in the finals, he's been instrumental throughout the season even though he got injured and went off the pitch for a while. It's understandable if you're painting the mbape scenario as a case where he lacks the kind of support from his players just like vinicious jnr but even with that, Kane hasn't been as instrumental as vini jnr.

I don't think that I have stayed long enough in this Bitcoin space to have assumed that I have a lot of story in my past to share here but let's just delve into this and share our little experience.
I have known about Bitcoin and crypto for a while now and to be precise I think it's been up to five years since I have known about Bitcoin but the truth is that it's just been mere knowledge and nothing more. My knowledge about it was just narrowed down to knowing that Bitcoin exist and that was it. what was even more popular was more of crypto than Bitcoin. It's now that I'm fully in the system that I now know what's bitcoin as well as what's crypto.

I guess part of the main mistake should be that s spent too much time trying to learn everything before ever getting started. You can always start getting involved as a bitcoinner before everything there's to know about Bitcoin. Just get the basic and start off your journey and the rest of the knowledge will come as you proceed along the way. Kudos to this forum that made things way easier than it should have been.
I guess this is almost same as the second question, If I was to go back in time, i would just start applying the knowledge i already had without waiting to get everything all figured out. The best way to learn is to learn while Doing.
still anticipating the much talked about post having bull! I guess it's going to serve as a serious motivation that will help me to better prepare and stack up some good amount of Bitcoin before the end of this circle.
Bitcoin hasn't actively stayed up to 20 years since it gained it value and to make a 50 year projection from now isn't worth it. We can't even tell what will become of the world in the next 50 years.

if Portugal have any plans of going far in the euros or world cup, they should factor out Christian Ronaldo out of there plans or he's going to be a serious distraction to the entire team. In my opinion, if christiano Ronaldo has retired from active international football earlier enough like kroos did, he would have been a strong support to his national team and help the young players prepare for the tournament rather than even having a thought of playing in the world cup.

He hasn't been doing that well at Al Nasir and almost appears as a minus one to his team and that's not what you need if you have any intention of going far in the world cup. Even if he's going to be given a playing time in the world cup, it shouldn't be more than bringing him in from the second half or playing him some few minutes in the first half to just spice up the team a bit and that should just be it. If they ever bring him into the world cup as there key player who's going to pose a serious threat, they will be shooting there selves on the foot in the process. At 41 he should have gone out of the limelight of major football leagues and not to even talk of playing in the world cup.

the general mentality is that if you're unable to win an opponent in your home side under the watch of your fans that will serve as the 12th man on the pitch with you giving you the complete home advantage, it's going to be more deficult for you to win your rival when you're away. It works too well for most people and we could count matches upon matches when smaller teams fought there way into victory against her opponents due to the roar and support they received from those fanbase. In some cases, it could be a major distraction that could presurise some teams into trying to impress her fans and might not be as focused as expected but in general, it's best to analyse the teams involved before trying that out cause if your playing against a team like man city or real Madrid, home or away advantage doesn't count in most cases because they will always want to win at all cost and don't give a damn about your home advantage.

Be like you never check say for this forum our face show and our shoe shine wetin no good. You no know this matters? Anywhere we de involved we no de carry last. For inside we Nija we already get the slogan say Warri no de carry last but when e get to do with the outside world na then you go believe say true true na Na Nija no really de carry last.

Even when our oga them for the top still de choke eyes for our matters de bring plenty policies when de make things deficult for this our industry, we still de strive de put in effort on how to take survive on our own and even though most of the benefit when other region get in terms of getting knowledge about crypto, say we no get those kind benefit, we still de strive de do things wella for the global crypto space.

We get the spirit, that one no be lie and we no de ever settle for the less on a normal but as a side note I just wan yarn say make we try no de still fall our own hands for where those white people de.

This forum na the ogbonge platform when men them when hands clap well well for the global crypto sector join body de, and the way we take de carry ourself for here most expecially for the English board de very important.

I don't think that this is entirely true. We can't make our conclusion on the entire crypto system based on what happened with a particular project. It's just like airdrop, we've seen countless numbers of airdrop were participant waste all there time and energy to engage in them and at the end they don't get anything from the campaign but that's not enough reason to discourage people from getting into airdrops. In the midst of the board ones we still have some good project that one can still involved in but the key here should always be to go about them with caution.

I totally agree with you. For those that have been into bounties for a while, it's a mix of failed and succesfully projects but you can't write them off entirely. The best security measures to be taken would be to use an entirely different wallet and device if you have the means while keeping your main wallet entirely offline or not related to your bounty stuff.

It could even be that your mobile device could serve to take care of those kind of project while your desktop device would be in charge of your main wallet. Whichever way that's convininece for you is totally okay as long as you're being security conscious and you're not loosing or endangering your coin in the process.
