But on the other side, if they are not going to show an exhibition match,  that would just solidify that boxing was just a money machine for them and not their sport passion. We know money is involved on this match, actually in all of sport, we can't deny that but these men are fighting for their pride and skills. We know Pacman lost on scorecard but deep inside we know who show the true heart of a warrior, we know who won the first fight.

Man, it is an exhibition match, it's non tournament fight or fighting for a belt, Pac doesn't need more any belt lmao he has and only has the 8 world division champ.

Many will percept the trading as a gambling because of its definition "Gambling is a risky action wanting for a desired result" both of these requires money to do so but not necessarily mean that both are in the same category, that's why we have a term for it. Although this is in, the nature of money similar, we can argue that these things required different skills to have and not just with luck.  

Yes it is. Leverage is not designed only for the traders to make more profitable, it gives more risky positions on both end. Traders should know how to leverage their trade especially when they are more than 50% see how the market will behave for a couple or days, weeks or months getting multipliers and turning to higher profits. Can we call that a gamble? given the risky side of it? No, simply because they aren't basing it on luck.

Hmm from $10? It can be gamble all the way, it is hard to get 300% done in a week unless you timed it to a pump or a dump, and if you go against the tide you'll lose it all.

That crystal ball is public, one hint to that crystal ball showing is when you see green candles in the market.

It's been a culture in the cryptomarket we can't go against with, given the historical data in front of us, it has been and always been a culture not just with bitcoin that markets behave like a crazy market skyrocketting to unknown heights.

I'd like to highlight these things, I think these ones are the main keys for a better growth this year.

1. Fear of leaving your comfort zone - One must know or distinguish what his comfort zone is, not knowing it or realizing it will suffer for the rest of their life. So knowing your comfort zone is the first step, so you got a boundary of what to do and what not. Fear is a natural emotion on every first time, but our eagerness must be bigger than our fear.

2. Fear of failure - Again, fear is a natural feeling and failure means you are trying. We should learn what lesson can be pick up with all the failures. If you got down 8 times, got up 9 times.

3. Self-discipline - Most important of all, self-discipline is the very key to this, self-development requires a lot of awareness to yourself including setting your goals, setting up your process, and learning time.

Yeah, after such amount of time the retiree will feel the passion again to gamble especially after a win? He's going to be most excited player to comeback in casino that day. Or maybe after he spent all his winnings elsewhere he'll be back in no time, coz honestly money in gambling are reward money and the least you think to buy with it is asset 

Hmm, I agree, even how much you offer to a real gambler by nature he won't bother to give cent on you. There' no significant amount for them even if they win millions, tomorrow you'll see them again in a casino betting higher to win higher. Aside from money, what gambler really want is the feeling of winning, some gamblers thinks money as just the reward for merely winning.

But what if we chase those dreams of ours for them? I guess this is a very good argument for this topic. I think it is okay to chase something like money because that is equivalent to comfort in the future. I mean I think it is okay to disappear and forget while chasing those things but we should always go back and take a look back to see and help people who helped us and supported us along the way. Being selfish is one way to give yourself a pretty hard time when we get old, when you can't stand on your own no one is there if you call.

The Best thing to do is check on people from time to time, you won't know when will you need help from people around you.

Ask the bettor haha he must be a well-off gambler who spins for $50. For me $50 is too much for a spin, I'm max at $1 per spin on any slot machine, $1 could hit the jackpot and would worth millions on my currency  

Well that bettor must be on his luckiest day, $42 million is worth a billion on my country's currency, that means he is on top 500 on richest man in my country. We all have a luck, but we also need to consider timing, if you notice it on simple things then try to bigger ones, you might find it very obvious in a day. I'd take that $0.01 spin for a chance to win $84K, who would know I can get a lamborghini tomorrow just by sitting and clicking some buttons in an online casino? That would be the wildest dream of mine )

All traders should know that we are just exchanging money in the market, if one losses the other wins it, basically not all of us can win it, but most of us can defeating whales, but that's another topic.

It really is, being good at one thing is a process of continuous learning, it's not that there will be a time that you can call yourself a good trader, we can't measure this thing. As I said, it is a process not being of a good trader, but a better decision maker every time we realize a mistake.

Stressful it is, but if you found yourself one day comfortably on your chair while trading, you'll smirk and realize the learning process is worth it.

All of us know that if our relatives or friends get affected by our gambling habit then there must be something wrong with us. If the extension of consequences passes along up to your friends, then you should stop especially if they know nothing about on what you do. Personally, as much as possible, I don't want anyone know about my gambling habit, I want to keep to myself, and keep myself involve in what can happen doing such thing. I keep my losses and winnings, at the end of the day it is me who enjoyed gambling and entertained. One must know how to handle things responsibly, especially in gambling where almost anything can be infected by it.

This year I wanna focus on listing my expenses, this is the mistake that I don't want to  repeat this year. Most of us may overlook expenses on a daily basis and tracking it is one of the lesson I've learned, I am able to scrutinize my expenses and come up with new ideas on how can I optimize my daily budget. I'm guilty of how I spent my money last year, like I don't see ordering from online restaurant a luxury but once you do it often it becomes the price of a brand new phone in 2 months, so imagine all the unnecessary items or services you are getting are able to buy expensive stuff in theory.

We don't have data to back this up but I'm pretty sure transaction fee is a factor on which people may or may not buy bitcoin thus increasing or decreasing the adoption rate, but I'd say it is a least of our problem in blockchain, we don't need everyone jump on the blockchain.

Heck yeah, I transacted last month and the fee is high, I just look away and hit the button. lol.

Adopting bitcoin means adopting it is consequences, unlike banks that have a fixed transaction charges, bitcoin doesn't have it. We once saw a transaction that cost millions trying to transfer such insignificant amount, a heartbreaking story, the sender must have not seen it. I guess, seasons have changed a lot, you can't just buy and sell whenever you want it.

Some gamblers just don't have the acceptance on a day that they lose. I can argue with it, I experienced the same feeling of losing in the beginning of the day and you'll just start drifting in a losing streak on thinking that the tables would turn on your side, not realizing how big the table is.

But rarely, or almost not, I can manage to bounce back or break even at the end of the day. However, that doesn't mean that I got lucky, continuous playing would consume so much time to anyone whether you are playing on casino or online casino, I realized how much time I have lost trying to get a small win or break even after a day of losing. It is  not worth of your time, learn to accept defeat and look away to spend your time and money wisely.

You can only be bothered if you are doing something wrong or if they get affected by what you are doing. Personally, there is a few people in my life that comment on my gambling activity but I don't give a sshh on them, yeah a total waste of time if you try to argue with them and I only think that it is not wrong to gamble if you do it for yourself and is trying to escape temporarily from reality, in short entertaining yourself!

I think there is no point to argue or explain to anyone, don't owe it to them, we have different path in life, different hobby, different decisions, and all they need is to leave you alone and think about their own business.

Some people be like " gambling ruined my life", "crypto ruined my life", or "real estate ruined my life" like it was not their decision to it. Gambling in general doesn't mean to ruin someone's life, that's the least I can say though we have heard a lot of stories from fellow gamblers, but they don't take it easy and responsibly, so at the end there's nothing or no one they can blame but their self. But somehow, I get the idea that they blame it to something else just to cope up with the fact that it's like never their mistake to do it, defense mechanism of people who refuses to reflect on themselves.

Just bet/stake to entertain, it is not so much to gamble, just don't wish a yacht with your $10 wagers.

All should be treated equally and with respect. But in terms of wages for labor, there's this thing called Salary grade or bracket which obviously white collar jobs are higher.

Those who disrespect and only respect people out of their job is a total dumb. Your job doesn't reflect on who you really are, I know people with blue collar jobs be drinking all night, hopping bars night after night, and post shitty contents on social media and then there are people who is street-sweeper who return a cellphone to the owner after being left in a public place, provide for their family, and shows respect to others equally. We should be doing different things now, it's 2024 and this mindset is like a stuck old brainer.

Man you don't get any better when you have a heart attack lol even if it is from winning a lottery or hitting jackpot in a casino. It's is more okay to win a decent amount of money while being healthy.

I once hit a jackpot before, yeah it feels so satisfying and unbelievable but that should end there because being at that state for a long time means you are not being yourself or not in a normal state so tendencies is that you are going to do things that you might be unaware of. This is a good question for the gamblers, since we only think of money and behaviour when we want to gamble and health is the least of our concern when we do. Let's be responsible enough to take care of ourselves before anything else.

Suing people over unsold products would inflict so much damage on their business. I had literally no idea on this, it is my first time seeing a company suing people who are boycotting their product which is part of their customer rights lol. It doesn't make sense at all, if their products or services are being left unsold, then they should know now that something is wrong with their company. People united are indeed more powerful than a company.

Or they do want a free exposure on television so people would have second thoughts about them?

and those conventional investors are in the stock market because they do not want to feel less secure of their money. Imagine how much we grow over the 14 years of Bitcoin run that we come into perspective comparison with World's largest companies.

I agree, but somehow we can foresee how much room do we need to fill in with crypto market. It will take time to be as big as the stock market, and we can see it we are going there.

I don't have a specific New Year's resolution on my gambling journey, but if I have one thing in mind it might be to be more disciplined when it comes to depositing funds in my casino account/betting sites. I realized that last year, I always run after my losses which sometimes I wasn't able to get back which turns into double losses, but most of the time I always break even when I do it. Another might be stay away with games on casino that I barely play, if I don't know the game then I won't play it.

There's no quitting in gambling, once you're in it is hard to quit. When someone told me that they New Year's resolution is to quit gambling, I know for a fact that's more than half of a lie.

These things are fundamentals that every trader needs to know, but once you get to trading, say after a year you'll realize that you only need a few guides in trading. Personally I set this rules for me to follow every time I trade or planning to trade.

I have this 3 things on my note

1. Decide
2. Plan
3. Execute

Then I breakdown these things, make a broad illustration on how to get things done.

1. Decide - My first step is to decide. I'll check the market in general. If I'm skeptical, I won't touch the market ground. Know the trade strategy, Short or Long term.
2. Plan - Again, if I got skeptic after deciding and don't know how to plan the trade I want to make, I won't touch it. So planning is a bit long process for me, do a lot of reading and analysis and write  stuff on my note coz I got a short term memory so I have to lol. I'll start writing things out including the key words for my self.
3. Execute - Some people may think that this is a quick process, just execute the plan, hell nah. The execution involves yourself, where the discipline and your character is vital.
