That is it, the worst part of it is when some addicts will have little amount of money to eat and to meet the daily needs and yet use misty of money to gamble and having a very imperfect life. I have seen this happened to a friend of mine before that even sold some of his property to gamble with the money and later filled with regrets as he still lost all.

Do not read like an illiterate, or better to carefully read what someone is posting, who says City can not win? What even tells that Tottenham may not have more chance to compete with both Arsenal and Manchester City? There are several matches that still remain, even more than half matches of a season. If you read very well what I meant, I meant that a club that will not win can be as a result if past mistake if the matches not won in the past.

Manchester City was able to be stable over past few seasons, that is true, but unable to win Brentford in the last match, making Arsenal to have more winning and a chance for Arsenal to win English Premier League. All I see is that Manchester City is trying but Arsenal will make it tough this season. I hate Arsenal for one reason, they can play bad consecutively and later play good consecutively in the same season, but I think this season would be different.

Do you use to read the terms and conditions of gambling sites? There are some countries that are often there, that people or citizens from the countries, staying in the countries should not make use if their gambling service because it is prohibited and not legal. That should be checked first before using VPN. That is why I do not always encourage people to use VPN because most countries that are blocked from accessing the site are not also allowed to use VPN to bypass, that is why some gamblers gamble and win but later unable to withdraw.

The OP thought Elon Musk will buy Bitcointalk because he bought Twitter, not knowing that he did not just buy Twitter, he bought it for no much reasons than to use it to make more money, that is why he sacked many staff already and looking for more ways Twitter can generate more income. For income generating reasons, Elon Musk can not buy this forum, he can only go for the ones like Twitter which he had gone for. The second reason he bought Twitter is to have more influence, which this forum may not provide for him for the kind of influence he has already.

I think Ronaldo is having a business deal with Binance is the first reason, but anything that may be the reason, it is still a means to make more money, for Binance and Ronaldo. There is no other reason why Binance will in be sport than to make more money, also no reason why football players will involve in crypto than to make more money, that is the reality.

All companies are jumping into NFT because it is the trend and nothing more than that, they know what people follow bring them more money. Or what can NFT offer in the future?

There were days I won and very happy. There were days I won at first but I continue to gamble and I lost all, good first but bad at final. There were times I lost and filled with depression and mood swing. That is gambling. No one that is looking for money in one way or he other in gambling that will not experience all these good and bad emotions. Even if I lose little, no depression but I will not be that happy.

Many people are wise in gambling, few got addicted, some play with low amount of money.

The chance to win 10 odd bet is very low, the chance to win 90 odd bet is far low, maybe how my country is, betting such with $50 to $100 is too much. If I want to go for 90 odd bet, I can not use up to $5. If I want to bet on 10 odd, I can not use up to $10. For single odd, two or less than 4 odd which is better, I can use $10 for it.

Accumulating bet can cause it.

That is life, you make decisions, but some can be of regret or no regret. Sadio Mane has left Liverpool, such a thing can happen. You can remember when C. Ronaldo left Real Madrid, the club was not first playing good. Also see when Messi left Barcelona. It is normal sometimes for a good player to leave a club and the club not playing good unlike before, but it would be a matter of time, when a club would rise again, it would.

I have thought of ways to be smarter while gambling, maybe that can be called cheating. All the ways I have thought of can not become reality and making the smartness not to be possible as those gambling sites are providing services in a way it would be impossible for gamblers to cheat. If gamblers see a good means to cheat, they will not think twice to cheat, they can never think of a way to avoid cheating, if they can easily cheat and make money from it.

The price of coins and tokens in the market are low now as they have significantly reduced in price. Most probably that if anyone invest now, big profit would be the result, but very good to still always keep in mind that investing in altcoins can be a big loss.

Make appropriate research and find good coins to invest, but the best coin ever has been bitcoin. Getting the right time of investing in coins is very important to achieve profits, because the losses can be more.

I think you should answer the question yourself, you already know that if you invest too much, the losses can be greater, but while the profit can be greater too, invest the amount you are capable of.

Duelbits, thanks for the offer, the prediction would be fun.

I saw the offer from bet365 some days ago, Duelbit also offering such promotion is a good thing. I have seen this kind of prediction not to be easy, but experiencing the fun is what that is great, in a way you predict without using money but expecting something.

I will try my luck also.

The El Salvadoran president, Nayib Bukele just tweeted about the upcoming plan of buying bitcoin daily

https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1593113857261965312?t=34fpxL5lJFctwpq5eUGp2g&s=09


I think this is DCA which is a good plan, but buying one bitcoin daily if not weekly may not be regarded as DCA but the price of bitcoin has falled significantly in a way that there may only be little drop in price which would be followed by a significant bull run. We do not know when the next bull run will start, which would take bitcoin to over $30000, but I believe we are getting closer to the period daily.

I see this as a good plan for people that wants to invest in bitcoin to invest now too because it would be profitable.

This has already been discussed before several times and there are solutions, you can use an extension for it.

How are traders going to continue trading easily with short term and derivative trading? Those decentralized exchanges using smart contract are not also safe for traders which is the alternative they can go for, hackers can attack just like those DeFi, I will discourage people to use it. Trading on centralized exchanges are challenges for short term traders, but no yet alternative for centralized exchanges, but only your trading money should be left on the exchanges if using it to do the short term trading, but if not, move it to a noncustodial wallet and we should keep warning traders and other people about not being ones key, not ones coins.

Mt. Got of the past that was hacked was major than FTX, their was panic at the time and the price of cryptocurrencies falled significantly. If one of the major exchanges is collapsing, it is enough to have negative effect on the crypto market, but just that FTX was not major like Mt. Got to result to more panic and price fall. If more exchanges are affected, it would have been worse.

You consider it panic but many people that have known about bitcoin and crypto generally see it as an opportunity to buy. Any price decline is an opportunity for some people that have not invested before to invest, it is like a dream come true for some people.

Wallet is not decentralized, it is noncustodial, which means you have the private key and you have the whole control.

It remains one which is for bitcoin, Ledger + Electrum. Even while some people are having issues with their Ledger Live, some clear the cache while some just move to Electrum which solves the issue. For bitcoin lovers, using Ledger hardware wallet with Electrum is highly advisable.

I agree but what Ledger do not take serious is privacy, this is reason I do not like to tell anyone about the hardware wallet. The software which is Ledger Live is open source, only the secure element on the hardware wallet is close source, it helps protect the seed phrase, but I  prefer a hardware wallet that is open source in everything.
I too will prefer open source wallet that has nothing related to close source at all.

You are getting it wrong. Because I am trading gold, am I into gold business or do I even invest in gold? No. That is how cryptocurrecies are too, because you trade a coin or token, that does not mean that you are into crypto business or investment.

Because you invest in crypto, that does not mean you should quit your job, but trading can give that wrong thinking, thinking you are making money daily or in short time, that you do not need any job again, but that is wrong, most traders are not good traders, they are only lucky with bull market, when the bear market come, they will lose more. You can long and make money during bull, short and make money during bear, it depend on how lucky and good you are, but it is not good to rely on trading, be it forex, crypto, stocks, and others like gold, crude oil and others.

This is not about cryptocurrecies, but about trading. But also not good to quit job for trading.
