21  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin was created to reform money and provide financial freedom on: March 03, 2024, 10:08:24 AM
Without the need for established banking institutions, users can send and receive money anywhere in the world, and I believe this would be advantageous for areas with unstable economies or no access to banking services. For example, we may govern our wealth and transactions more effectively and enjoy financial freedom thanks to bitcoin. However, it's possible that some groups or individuals have contradictory opinions about this since they question whether bitcoin will endure into the future generation or if it was only created for our own time. I think that it is reasonable that we could use third parties in order to get some bitcoin so that we can be avoided as targets by people who do bad deeds.

Even though you mentioned that you have no interest in football games, you still try to bet on them.
This suggests to me that perhaps your consciousness is guiding you to that field or that you have the guts to do that.
In any case, there are times when following our instincts can increase our chances of winning. Similar to how unexpected things can happen when we gamble because our sole chance of winning is by luck; nonetheless, we lose when we take things seriously or focus. For me, if it is meant to be, it is meant to be but if it is not, then it's not.

Certain gambling activities, in my opinion, require concentration, good judgment, and the ability to make decisions. Therefore, using drugs or alcohol while under the influence can affect one's cognitive abilities. And in the same way, playing a game while partially asleep can also considerably impair our awareness. When we are under the influence of drugs or whatever else, we tend to be drowsy and may act on impulse or make rash decisions. As a result, we are more likely to take reckless risks with our money since, when we win, we may use our earnings to indulge in our vices. In my opinion, this only puts us in a tough situation. 
Gambling when one is on drugs is probably one of the rash decisions made that someone usually does when they are not in their senses, otherwise, why would one gamble when they are on drugs while they can't have any fun or win any money because if you can't even understand what you are doing, how can you carry out normal actions?

Some people might find it fun gambling when they are drunk or on drugs because I have often seen people doing such things when they are high, but I don't understand how they do it in the first place, they probably waste all their money on gambling when they are high because you can't even identify whether you are betting $1 or $10 in a single bet when you are on drugs or drunk.
It is unfortunate to admit that, yet there are individuals who actually fit that description. They actually gamble when intoxicated or high. Perhaps this is because they want the changed state of consciousness that drugs produce, even if it prevents them from appreciating or understanding their gambling to the fullest extent possible. This is why people act carelessly and don't consider all the consequences. They literally need some guidance from those who are close to them since they are completely lost.

Gambling while under the influence of drugs may reduce the overall enjoyment of the activity due to impaired focus and decreased social interaction with other players or friends. For games that require strategy or skill, such as poker or blackjack, drug use can negatively impact performance by reducing focus and cognitive abilities. This can result in lower winnings or increased losses over time.
I believe that when we gamble with our friends when high on drugs or drinks, we may argue over minor issues. Since we are unable to regulate our emotions, we only think about achieving our objective of winning more in order to continue engaging in our vices. For instance, the highs of winning could make us feel more joyful and may even cause us to overestimate our own abilities, but the lows of losing might make us feel even more irritated and despairing. When we experience this kind of emotion, it can lead to fights between friends, particularly when there are differences in the results of bets or what constitutes fair play.
We may also take things too seriously. For example, even if a friend makes a joke or remark that was meant to be humorous, we may find it offensive, and this could result in arguments.
25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: February 29, 2024, 01:01:28 PM
Likewise with gambling activities every day, in my opinion it is not good, because spending money and time in the same place continuously, where the chance of winning will not necessarily continue to increase. Because there is no definite formula for guessing odds in gambling, because the odds will continue to change even if you play the same game consistently. Therefore, it is better to stop before it is too late, or reduce the percentage to minimize losses regularly, for a better future.
Wherever something is detrimental, it certainly won't be good, but as long as you can prevent it, it's still better than letting it happen. We know that it is very difficult to stop gambling every day, especially if you have an addiction such as smoking or drinking alcohol and the symptoms are almost the same. Gamblers will not stop as long as the money is still there and I think it will not end as long as there is still greed for every human being.
We all know that gambling is harmful and greed kills people. Gambling every day will create a craving for more and gradually lead to addiction. When the person becomes more greedy, he or she does not control the urge to gamble but tries hard to hide the gambling behavior. They do not hesitate to resort to hiding lying and even various forms of deception. Nothing can keep them away from that work. This addiction can destroy a person's life try to control yourself without becoming greedy.
Not only may gambling addiction cause financial difficulty, but it can also have a significant negative emotional effect on us. We may incur debt, claim bankruptcy, and experience worry, depression, and stress as a result of our obsession with gambling. Addicts who can't stop gambling may genuinely wish to find a means to support their addiction, even if it puts them in danger. In addition, we can ignore our loved ones, ruin our friendships and family relationships, and risk losing their trust as a result. The fact that being greedy is the reason why we can do things that are out of our limits and are not good for us. We occasionally put our own desires, such as a gambling addiction, ahead of the welfare of others, forgetting what really matters and making ourselves a burden for them in the meantime.
26  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it too advanced to get into Bitcoin now? on: February 29, 2024, 12:36:02 PM
If you feel as though you would like to purchase and invest in bitcoin, then do it while the market is still growing. If not, you may miss out on an opportunity if the price of bitcoin increases. Since it might be difficult to time the market precisely, you might want to think about dollar-cost averaging, which involves investing a set amount at regular intervals to reduce the risk of making a purchase at the incorrect time. Just a small percentage of your investment portfolio should be allocated to bitcoin purchases unless you are comfortable with the degree of risk involved.

But somehow I think that if people is not ready to buy and doubting to take decision upon buying then that means they are not prepared. There's huge consequences of action they have done since for the fact that market is unstable then it can affect the decision making of these people and they might lose for a big time dump since they might get panic on such situation and throw out their money intended for long term investment. That's why its important for this people to know that long term investment is really good but they also need to determine some down time of bitcoin so that they can practice their self for not getting to much affected if there's scenario that they don't like to see. Normal for bitcoin to have corrections and this one should people need to understand that its normal so they will not do any bad decisions which they can possibly regret later on.
If you are considering buying bitcoin but are unsure about it or do not want to step outside of your comfort zone, then do not invest, as simple as that. Forget thinking about whether it is a good time to acquire bitcoin or whether you should take the chance. Naturally, given that bitcoin is a volatile cryptocurrency and there is nothing we can do about it, a market downturn is normal. And to be able to compare it to the market today, it is crucial that you first create a plan and conduct some research on how the market is doing over time. Sometimes we have to step outside of our comfort zone and be willing to take a chance, but we also need to be prepared for the unexpected and make sure we do it at the right moment.
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 25, 2024, 11:19:09 PM
It's true that some gamblers make the same mistakes again and over again, and that when we gamble, we can't always avoid becoming greedy and overconfident. What kind of attitude does a proud gambler have—one that never gives up? It appeared as though they were entirely committed to the side on which they were betting, underestimating the risks associated with such wagers and exaggerating their chances of success. It seems to me that you may make a bad choice based only on your presumptions. Greedy people frequently seek big gains without taking into account their bankroll size or the amount of money they have previously spent in order to do so. Because of the emotions they experience when they bet, I believe these are the typical errors made by certain gamblers.
28  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: February 25, 2024, 11:05:56 PM
What you are experiencing is a common thing that happens to every gambler. Patience will always be challenged by circumstances when at the gambling table. Sometimes there are situations when you are very confident in your feelings, but the calculations are very messy which ultimately makes you rush to decide. Which ultimately pushes you into an ever deeper abyss of defeat. But remember, there is always a solution to all problems, including this, you will get used to dealing with it as you gain experience at the gambling table.
Patience can help but not in all circumstances, we need to know what we are doing so that we don't regret of been too patient for something we would have reacted and bring a change to the level of results we are getting. It is good for us to know what we are doing and work towards it than just relaxing and using patient to receive ourselves of waiting for a better results. It is good for us to always think and take decisions on everything we do whether as a gambler or on a decision making. Patient is good on some other situations but should not be in all situations.
I couldn't see that patience would really be something that relevant or something that is needed up most of the time but its true that it does have that advantage that could save you up
but not all the time. Example. Patience on hitting up a huge win? How long you would be able to hold? For sure you would really be having those thoughts as long  you do have the funds to bet
then you would really be continuing until you do have the funds until you do bust out. Patience is something that would really be that not putting you into that not panic mode though.
You would be able to determine on what are those disadvantages and its better to have those realizations before its too late.
I think that taking a moment to stand back and calmly evaluate your circumstances is one way to practice patience. I'm saying that if you have a big win, you should consider your options carefully and refrain from acting hastily or putting your earnings back into the casino right away. Instead, you might think about making a strategy for how you would appropriately invest or spend the money. I am aware that these are difficult choices to make since the thrill of winning could entice us to keep playing in the hopes of winning more money if we place more bets. Because of this, we should constantly remind ourselves that gambling is based only on chance and that future success is not guaranteed.

30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. on: February 25, 2024, 10:34:17 PM
maybe in some developed countries $3K is not that much and is very easy to get, but if you are in a developing country $3k worth of money is very valuable and it is even very difficult to get it even if you have worked for years, but that guy seemed to have lost his mind so he took his life
Yes, a country's economic conditions do affect the value of its currency. In contrast to certain developed nations where it is easy to make a lot of money, emerging countries are difficult to make a lot of money. For this reason, it is important that we assess the circumstances surrounding our current condition. When we are faced with financial hardships, such as having a large debt from gambling or other sources, we may feel hopeless and like there is no way out, to the point where we consider taking our own life under the weight of this burden. It is really unfortunate that people go through that kind of suffering, even if it is their own choice to find themselves in a situation like that.
31  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: February 25, 2024, 10:18:15 PM
If that happened to me, maybe I would regret it, because it was a good opportunity which could have changed my life but I didn't take it which was a mistake. But even though I regret it, I will not drag on about it, because if it is our good fortune it will definitely come to us. Just believe that one day there will be good luck for us, don't think too much about things that have passed because maybe bigger luck will happen to us.
To be on a safer side, don't expect much from the system, rather expects less so you'll not be surprised when your budgets doesn't go as plan. It's no new thing to experience losses, however we become stronger to deal with problems when we're independent. Regrets happen on daily basis in the space. We're often lucky and when it hits harder, we lay down and cry out, that's for those of us that don't have the balance control of our emotions, but some of us stand strong enough to take in anything in the system. Gamblers are always ready to embraced any results generated on their end.
Yes, even though you regret not acting sooner, as you stated, you should have the strength to accept whatever comes into the system, given that you have already turned down an opportunity. I can understand the side of the original poster, as he's just taken precautions to ensure that his funds were secure. What if he had already gambled some of his money, and if the outcome was different, the loss would have been greater, and he still feels guilty about it? Therefore, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with him; all he did was express regret. It's alright, and it is not that big of a problem, and it's okay to be on the safer side.
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and people knowledge on: February 25, 2024, 09:58:34 PM
It's human nature to hesitate and ask a lot of questions about some matters since it involves their money, so of course there's nothing wrong with being cautious about the things you become involved with, especially if money is involved.
Personally, I have to disagree with this statement. Probably it's also a cultural thing but many people are very reluctant to talk about money, in several parts of the world is almost a tabu topic because some could be ashamed of their salaries and in general many countries don't have a high level of financial culture, so it's not even common to discuss about money and investment simply because they know nothing about it. It's like looking for people who talk about rocket science with their friends, I mean, who does that?
In this context, I refer to individuals who invest in or keep their money in banks or bitcoin. If someone were to suggest to you that you invest in bitcoin with a friend or mentor, even though you have no prior knowledge of the cryptocurrency, you would understandably wonder why. If we invested our money there, what would we get from it? You have the right to know where your money is going because it's yours, even if you decide to invest in bitcoin and receive interest. I'm not stating how much money they make or how much they get paid; rather, I'm just curious as to how it functions or turns into money if you can't see that it's holding any. Naturally, I also want to know why we can profit from bitcoin—does it have funding sources or is it just something that the market has been selling?

What is your favorite gambling game and what are the reasons that made you prefer it over the rest?
I found sports betting to be both thrilling and enjoyable, and I can choose to either put bets and share in the excitement of other players
or to simply watch the game without giving it too much thought. I may talk to my family, friends, and guests about our predictions for the
winner or our guest by watching sports betting. Alternatively, as the game is being played, I will be able to mingle and engage with others
who share my interest, and we may enjoy the analysis and knowledge that comes with it. 
35  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Outcomes of insighting gambling for a source of income. on: February 25, 2024, 05:17:39 PM
So I caught my friend up having gambling as a source of making incomes.
Few days ago, I went to my friends place and met him with a strange face to me, so sudden their language changed in a way I wouldn't understand. The both were talking about hustles which the other guy ask my friend that Are you not running the other hustle anymore"? So my friend replied"I do but I have lost a lot this time just after I made my last cashout" which he analysed different values and occasions he had won. The other guy told him not to stop trying that it is sometimes like that and so is the nature of the business.
I knew they were up to gambling discussion but they never wanted me to know about it.
I never see gambling as a bad activity unless you gives yourself up to it in controlling your emotions. So I think these two guys knew they were at the wrong side of it that is why they never wanted me to know they were into gambling.
Just in, he is on medical attention after he slumped as a result of loosing a borrowed fund meant for a business re-startup after the gamble made him squandered his previous business.
At his regained to a normal state of health, he explained that he thought he would be lucky to win at the stake so as he could expand his intended business with a bigger capital.
At a point I don't see any business oriented ideal in this Friend because $1,000 ls good enough for a start of lucrative businesses.
It seems like your friend made a poor choice since if he keeps losing money, it could seriously put him in danger of becoming bankrupt.  To put it another way, I believe that depending solely on gambling for income can cause serious psychological distress due to the unpredictable nature of the games and the intense pressure to win, which can drive us insane and cause us to focus only on the money we stake. In the event that your friend is desperate to make up for his losses, for example, this could push him toward obsessive gambling behavior. Even worse, if he has debts to someone, would you lend him money if he did? Without you knowing that he put gambling as his hustle or sideline source of income.

Given that our society has evolved and that we now discuss issues like gender equality and everyone's rights, this is not surprising in the modern era.
 In the past, we believed that gambling was something only men should do and that it wasn't a good idea for women to undertake.
 But now that you've seen it, it appears that you'll be shocked and amazed to learn that other women are competent at doing things that men do,
 like playing poker. We gamblers now have greater convenience and accessibility thanks to the growth of online gambling platforms, which also draws in new players.
37  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Have Different Perception Of Gambling Operators on: February 25, 2024, 04:30:53 PM
Since billions of people participate in lottery betting, it is difficult for any one of us to win millions or thousands of money over the modest amount we wager. However, for me, it is harmless to bet on lotto outlets since as you stated that we can allocate our bets. But when it comes to cock fighting,
 I feel like it truly throws an unfavorable image on me since it involves animal abuse and cruelty, and I can't stand to see those creatures put their lives in danger for human entertainment.
However, it is possible that when we go for a drink or whatever, our buddies will have already eaten the chicken, so we might not come back with anything. Cheesy
38  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you won a bet with your last cash? on: February 25, 2024, 04:09:51 PM
Luck is not something that comes all the time and that's what makes it special when it comes to you while you are gambling, some people cheat when they gamble and they said is luck which are all lies but inside them they already know that it want luck but cheating.
However I was lucky to win a bet with my last stake some days ago and I am happy for that, that's why I have to bring it here let's discuss about it, whether you have also win some amount of money with your last stake. I went to a betting shop around my locality then I bet with $10 and lose all of them so I was holding  up to $1 separately for transporting my self back to my residence, but funny how I staked with my transport money and won.
Although, I had more money on  my account that I can use for transporting my self back to my house if incase I lost the physical cash, that was why I wasn't afraid to stake with it.
You're lucky, OP, because even though you lost your last round of betting at that casino, you still have a chance to win with the money you still have. However, since there is no assurance that gambling will provide a profit, it is not desirable for every gambler to emulate that sort of behavior, such as betting their last dollar. Basically, we run the risk of losing everything when we stake our final cash, which leaves us without any financial backup. While having more money in your account is a great thing, don't you think it would be too expensive or inconvenient to take out cash from your account just for you to have money for your transportation to your home? You know, there's a chance you'll wind up returning to a casino to try to make up for your losses after you take money out of your account.
39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and people knowledge on: February 25, 2024, 03:41:45 PM
It's human nature to hesitate and ask a lot of questions about some matters since it involves their money, so of course there's nothing wrong with being cautious about the things you become involved with, especially if money is involved. When we deposit money into traditional banks, for example, we naturally become comfortable because we believe that our funds are safe because banks have security measures in place and we can contact them directly if there is an issue or conflict with our account. However, with bitcoin, we merely have our wallets to store our bitcoin investments, and we are naturally accountable if we lose our account.
Despite the block chain technology, we still need to protect our private keys in order to guarantee the security of our bitcoin.
If we don't dare to ask about something related to money then this is very likely that we will use our money on the wrong things and it is very important to be careful in using money if we don't know it properly it would be better if we ask those who have understood better than using our money on the wrong things.
It is true that saving money in the bank will make the money we save more secure and if a problem occurs we can immediately resolve it with the bank and with Bitcoin we have to really look after the wallet in which we store the Bitcoin well and don't lose it. the account that we have.
Because, when you actually get down to it, all that truly matters is the confidence that your money won't end up in the wrong hands. You can store your money anywhere you wish, be it a bank or on bitcoin. It is a positive thing, in my opinion, that more people will gradually learn about bitcoin and the progress it has achieved over time.  I think there's a chance that the market may become greater in value and turn into a bull market when more people understand it and how it operates. This is because more investors will be willing to put money into it.  Perhaps other people are also unaware of it, which is why I believe that there should be some people who will inform them and introduce them to bitcoin. However, people should be cautious about who they trust because there are a lot of scams these days due to the financial crisis that some countries are going through.
40  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing on: February 25, 2024, 02:53:33 PM
Like most people on this topic, I don't think I can completely trust what politicians have to say. Because, in my opinion, they frequently change their statements to reflect the opinions of the voters at the time. From his previous remarks, I find it hard to believe that Trump has been showing an interest in bitcoin lately. After all, as a politician, he is constantly changing his statements to fit the narrative and win over support from voters as the election approaches. I believe that one strategy used by politicians worldwide is to influence public opinion through their words and uncertain promises.
