OP I am not sure about your experience with crypto but point no 1 is never invest borrowed money in crypto if you can afford to lose it. Dear took some pity on yourself. Trading is risky and people do trading but dear borrowed investment brings a lot of troubles on board and here you are not only investing you are trading crypto on some time scale imagine if something bad happens in the market and the market falls into the consolidation zone then what 3 months+ times to recover loss only what are you going to do in such a situation.

I think you don't fully understand what provably fair means, and especially what it doesn't mean. Provably fair doesn't mean you won't lose money in the long run, it doesn't mean the house edge equals 0% or the RTP is 100%. It other words doesn't mean the expected value is negative. It just mean you can check the outcome and see if the casino has cheated you or not.

So am curious to know if everyone is still holding or have chicken out and sold theirs.
Note ::get your coins off any exhange platforms if you are still on the hodl game

There are casinos that have got their tokens and that's why some gamblers are also investors as they get to have a portion of the casino's profit through dividends by having the token that they own.
Yeah, I agree that it's not recommended to keep your funds the same as the exchanges in the casinos because you'll not know if something happens badly and your funds is also affected.

True, as you said, many people are still focused on the short term, although not all but on average are like that, so they are a little panicked about the current conditions, especially those who focus on daily trading. But on the other hand, this is also not the first time that we should be aware that it is with fluctuations like this that bitcoin grows and what we have to do is remain patient and try to hold back so that we don't release the assets we have in our portfolio.

We have so many areas of trading, one could either chose the one that work for them or follow their influencer in market. Money is what everyone wants for trading, we fund in other to gain profits in trading position. It's advisable to always have a side hustle if one would succeed in trading, most people don't depend solely on trading for their income, it's outside their work or when less busy that they open trading position, some either learn the FA and TA by themselves, paying for signals group inother minimize their loss and maximize their profits. Trading is basically meant for profits, in a situation where one is recording more loss than profits is very  economical and not presentable.

I also don't think this fight will be decided by the scorecards. This is most probably ending in a knockout. Wilder is the potential winner here. It looks like Wilder has all the advantages over Ruiz: reach, height, power, and others. Early odds suggest the same with Wilder being the favorite at 1.43. But I still want Ruiz to give a good fight. I even want this underdog to win. He can upset Wilder, of course, but he and his team will have to develop a great strategy against the bigger man. And Ruiz has to train really hard and come out 100% fit and ready.

But Bitcoin is not a stock, it's a currency, and being volatile is a very bad thing for a currency, it makes it unattractive for users. Imagine if US dollar showed the same volatility - prices in stores would change every day, and planning something even 2-3 weeks ahead would be hard, because the price could change by 5-10% unpredictably.

And as for investing, stocks can be analyzed. Lots of people predicted that Tesla is overpriced. But with Bitcoin no one can ever make an accurate prediction where it will go next.

Imagine after all those suggestions, he ultimately decides to play on 1xBit

Too many people did this during 2022 bear run and too many people lost. We should not be revenge trading, there is no return on that and you are going to end up being unhappy because of it, no need to do it at all.

I personally believe that a loss is a loss and you should get over it, it's normal and when trading you can't always make profits because that is literally impossible, but if you have a loss at least learn from it. Then you start to trade normally again, it would definitely help you out a lot, it should be pretty awesome in the end. That's just my understanding of the market, just keep doing the way you normally do, no matter what the results are, and don't get emotional about it.

We are still in a bear market and we still don't know if the remaining top altcoins will keep their position, Solana and FTT are out I believe but that doesn't mean you can't make profits off them but I can bet that new altcoins will take over top 20 incoming bull market, it always happens in every bull market.

For me I prefer looking for the new gems that can take over top 10 to top 20 in the future, crypto is not perfect yet and something better will always come up to take the lead over the old projects.

Well first of all sorry for your losses but this experience is kinda normal with many folks here in the forum during their early years of knowing bitcoin. A mistake is unavoidable in the life of a human and its also part of the learning cycle because the best lessons is always learnt when we make mistakes but all together i just hope you have learnt from your mistakes.

But you can still atleast try to gather enough btc again seeing that market now is low, you can buy at a low price now and hodl it till btc goes up again. Like you said no one knows when the price is going to pump up again so stop regretting and just keep hoarding enough  btc you can get your hands on to because the time is coming when people that Missed this golden opportunity will also lament and say this word of regret "how wish i knew it will rise again ". So buckle up and start buying bro the future is bright.

You have a point too. If AI will be used to bet for us, we will not feel and experience anymore the thrill and excitement we may found from betting. Because admit it or not, being a gambler is not just all about winning profits, but it’s also one way for us to become entertained and be satisfied with whatever game we bet, regardless of that bet end up a lose or a win.

I agree. Everyome should be very mimdful of their spending, but in my honest opinion, especially for those who really worked their asses off all year round, I don't think spending money for yourself or for others in the single day of the year when it is socially acceptable to do so is a bad thing. Well, provoded that it is still within your means and ypu don't habe to take out a loan just to buy gifts and spend an extravagant christmas. Spending habits are very important to uphold and all but if you don't use your money for nice things at least once in a while, even if stockpiles into the millions I don't think it will hold any value to you. So use your money, and use it wisely, is supposed to be the right advice.

I think it is your mindset that is playing fast one on you. If you have made losses, get up and move on with your trade, don't stay back and begin to look at the losses because the next trade can be the profit that will give you the confidence you require. You will always feel scared when you don't move pass your fears.

If you follow crypto news, you might be aware about solana dog shitcoin called "BONK" is up 900% the past week . If you are thinking to invest in this coin, let me share an important fact regarding this coin. The top 20 holders 50% of the coin.

So, it is obvious that they will eventually dump it. Those who are investing seeing the dramtic increase in prices will loose all their investment when it dumps.

There are alot of people who are already full time gamblers and live all their lives on gambling and ate doing very well on it. I'm not a full time gambler but my profits are massively over my loss and one of the things that has helped me with as regards to the fact that I'm not a very frequent gambler I'd that I always have to take my time to analyze my games and I play every game like my life depends on it so I try all my possible best to be at the winning end.
There are lots of casinos that don't have any since issues with their deposit and withdrawals as long as you stay clean from your end and examples of such casinos are duelbit.

I do think that it will break over 30k this year for sure, I mean it's such a close price, it's not even 100% and we all know in the crypto world we face 100% increases all the time when bull run happens, in fact it happens a few times back to back. Like it could go from 16k to 30k and to 60k to 120k, which are all x2 increases eventually.

I believe that 30k will happen but in order for that to happen, we need to make sure that we are in the right head space because it won't be that simple if we do not end up with a good increase in price. Basically, all I am saying is that we need to have the starts of a bull run before we could end up being above 30k.

In a third world country, it is definitely hard. Beside the fact that we have a very low salary range here, but also the products and necessities' price are constantly rising, putting the thoughts of saving aside. So, it's almost impossible for you to have at least the third half of your income not intended for something like bills and other necessary expenses. We literally are working to survive here, If you don't have enough guts to look for another way to earn, you'd probably going to end up broke and homeless once you lost your only job.
