Health should be a priority over anything else. It only becomes secondary if you don't have the financial capability to support you (even if you include various support systems that the government has) which means you're close to being truly fucked. Doesn't apply here to your friend so yea, he can pretty much take care of himself if he wants to. Most likely selling off a part of his portfolio would do the trick if he has spent all his money on investing.

Prevention is always 100% better than a cure.

Coinbase, Kraken. Binance would probably not be suitable for you since it has a separate exchange for US citizens (Binance US) which afaik, has lower market volume compared to the global Binance one. I think an alternative that has copy trading would be Bybit Gemini. Turns out Bybit isn't allowed in the US as well.

Anw good luck to you op!

2 days later? I'd probably go for $65,453. The hundreds to ones were just random, I'm really just voting for $65k lol.

Also, I suggest changing "exact to closest "instead"?

DePIN is a thing? Dang it honestly just sounds rather confusing to me really. Especially with how the economy is going to be affected by the token price itself, I don't think they'd be able to support the service in a constant and stable way in that case (if I understood what it does correctly).

Anyhow, I guess I'm mostly interested in Gaming? Though I guess if the narrative itself is pretty attractive I'd still take note of it. DePIN I'm more interested in general about how it actually works (A quick lookup didn't really answer much) and it'd still depend after if I'd ever actually take note of it.

Depends on how you think about it. If you see gambling as a place where only money is the process involved, then yeah, it's a place to lose it (it's not a joke when people say house always wins). However, if you look at gambling as a general activity, you can see money here as both a sort of entrance fee as well as a reward.

Losing money is still part of the process, but it isn't the end all be all of it. It's similar to how games work, you can still have fun even if you lose a game no? Same thing here. You can still have fun even if you lose money. Though I guess in general it isn't exactly fun to lose money . But hey, it's all about how you look at things.

I'd honestly want to pay someone to guide me to teach the fundamentals really since it can be rather daunting (and confusing) to enter something you were completely new with. Just the general gist of things I guess? Outside of that, I wouldn't really pay a dime. It just speeds things up imo and you can generally avoid dumb mistakes due to being in an unfamiliar environment. After that it's just a rinse and repeat of looking for sources of info and losing/profiting money from trading.

It also helps if said guide was an "actual" professional. Hard to say most of the time with how the internet is though, so I get the idea of learning everything on your own. It's what I also did at the start after all, hence why I'd much rather learn from someone since I do not want to go through that again lol.

I highly doubt it. If we ever go down, it'd be at most to around $55k or $50k. I'd probably expect to see a bounce back whenever we do reach those levels since a lot of people are still rather bullish. The current correction we have was honestly something I expected around when we went to $50 -55k, but probably went a lot higher due to the FOMO back then.

Still, again, I don't think we'd be seeing $40k so if you're thinking of waiting to buy, don't. Just DCA if you really want to. The halving still hasn't even happened, and I expect the effects of said halving to happen half a year to a year later anyway.

Nope. In the eyes of a businessman, whatever the hell is wrong with you isn't an issue as long as it isn't an issue that shows during work hours. I'd probably talk it out with them first beforehand to find out what's wrong or if there's an issue, but I highly doubt it's something I can fix as their employer in the first place.

If it starts affecting his performance, say more absences, more lapses in decision making, or dazing around in the middle of work, then yea I'd fire him without a doubt. But even those that don't gamble sometimes do those, so it isn't really a "gambling" problem per se, simply a work performance problem.

They're complaining but just not with prices. I've also seen a lot of people complain about how wages aren't exactly keeping up with inflation. You can technically grow with the times by finding a better job with a better salary, but with how things go, it's rather risky to leave your current job to find a better one in the current state already. That's in cases where you can afford or can find a better job. Some people just can't. They might even be littered with debts.

Even I've felt the change despite us already living with home-cooked meals instead of restaurant meals (which is a lot cheaper in most cases). I am glad that we're still pretty well off all things considered though.

Bitcoin and the top 10 altcoins in the market. After that I'll just let them be and if they ask for more advice, then I'd tell them to read up. Study the market, checkout what's trending to the investors, and about what news and announcements there are concerning crypto adoption and whatnot. They're their own person, and I'm my own after all. If they were all about trying to profit without thinking, I'd tell them to just check copytrading or something similar.

If they wanted to make like 100x gains though then I'd tell them to dyor since altcoins that can give you that much are usually new in the market, and well, most of said new coins are most often than not rugpull scams or just bad tokens in general.

Something similar to you OP, just a bit better though. Heck I think the worst idea we've had as friends was playing in the middle of the class. We were plenty known to the faculty staff to be that little group that plays cards all the time so whenever the teacher rolls down the hallway, they know to always check our classrooms to see whether we're playing or not. We've had like a dozen or two deck of cards that were confiscated due to that lmao.

After those instances though I've completely swapped to online gambling. A few instances of playing together with new friends in college, but nothing too crazy happened there.

Man, you need better time management. I don't think you playing quickly is the reason you're losing, you're just unlucky imo but playing like you're in a rush does affect your mentality. It's not only limited to gambling really, anything you want to enjoy and you rush it? That's not enjoyment anymore. That's labor.

It also seems like you're playing for too long since it lasts till midnight. You can try keeping it short imo. Maybe about an hour or an hour and a half every time you get home? Idk if it can work with gambling but it's usually my schedule to study after work (and it works). Or if you can't manage the time, manage the money instead. Make it so that your bets can only last you for that long.

I did this a couple of times... I was a blind fan back then lol but granted it's not really because they had a bad matchup or anything heck the matches afaik could've gone either way with how strong both teams were most of the time, so in those cases, I simply went for my favorite team.

In cases where they performed underwhelming and were against a pretty well-performing team, I'd mostly still go for them. In this context underperforming in that specific tournament, not in every tournament in general. If that happened, I'd stay away from stake on them until they get their stuff back together. Doesn't matter that I like them, I like them in the first place cause they were good anyway.

The game itself? I don't think so. All casino games rely on luck (or well, should rely on luck) so even if there was AI in play, they wouldn't necessarily do anything to the game itself. Even if people started relying on AI to check what the bets would result to, they'd just fire off numbers based on probability, statistics and whatnot, nothing too impossible for a human to do if given time. And even then, it's only just numbers, it's not a guarantee whatsoever.

There may be more varieties to be developed if AI can be implemented but I can't exactly see how it would be done so in the first place though. It's just a possibility at this point. Totally different thing with sports though since if given enough data, AI may have the capability to perform simulations, possibly thousands to hundreds of thousands to give out a probable result. I mean in those cases to hell be the history of the team, I can make the AI run that matches X amount of times and they'd give me the team that won the most matches.

Ah yes, story of my life. The feeling of being able to buy another ticket using the money I won from another ticket felt like I was winning in life back when I first discovered about scratch tickets lol. It was rather enjoyable though, far from the initial idea I had about it before I tried it out.

I think the most I won was about $20? It was with a Go Banana scratch-it ticket, not sure if it's something local or what but it's your usual scratch-it with a multiplier bonus. Was pretty lucky with the x2 bonus and had matched a $10 result so it was an easy $20.

The media samples you listed are the ones relevant like a decade or two ago really. Social media is the most influential media, or well at least compared to TV's or radios lol. And yes, speculations are a part of what makes a coin go up or down but it's not the be-all-end-all of things. It's usually the one that could push the price up temporarily since it's like an advance notice (one that has no guarantee btw) of what the stock/investment that you have is going to do or action they're going to take. Well, the earlier you react the better so it's no surprise why speculations play a part.

Well after all that speculation and whatnot if no value was presented at the end of the day the value of the investment would simply drop. Just look at meme coins if you want examples. The price bursts they have are mostly fueled by price speculations most (if not all) of the time.

Try adding new sub-accounts like how you did beforehand. Afaik this happened to me once and I just did that to restore the wallets that was in there before together with whatever token/asset they had. Take note this was like 2 years ago or so, idrk if metamask changed things but a quick lookup resulted in a couple of guides doing the same exact thing still. Assuming you only made 4 sub-accounts, then adding 4 new ones should restore it.

No not really. Long before I've started gambling I was already trying to predict winners/losers between matches of my favorite eSports games, so I don't really think there's a difference between that and this. And at this point, I can pretty much afford what I can lose when gambling so I'm completely fine with me actually losing it all lol.

In fact I don't think they even need to pick a choice from a bookie. They can just reference it even after the match itself and see if they won or not.

I would've definitely wanted my parents at least to tell me about what investments was/were and the methods to at least start doing those. The period I started doing crypto and then started learning all about investment and whatnot was confusing and add that together with all the mumbo jumbo of stocks plus those necessary stuff about registrations, let's just say I was overwhelmed. Would've definitely wanted someone to guide me lol and I was too afraid to follow YT guides since well, I don't think they'd be that 100% useful to follow.

Ofc it requires a certain age to even follow/understand stuff like this. I reckon about 18-20 would be okay though. They at least have some semblance of the value of money at that point plus some of them might even have their own sources of income by then.

Well most altcoins were pretty green so far (from the 30day mark) with a few of them going up by 100% or 200%, so I think we can expect something more a bit later on. I won't expect ALL altcoins to perform the same though. Pretty sure it still relies on what the altcoin has to show and how it has performed in the past couple of years and attention. You can expect more imo, might just take some more time, especially since we're not past the halving yet which is the point where most people expect coins to actually move.
