Everyone already know buying bitcoin is a financial secret on the long time.

Do not be showy to the people you know that you've got money or else they'll come to you and ask to borrow money. And when you don't lend them money, you're bad in their eyes.

That's going to put a possible pressure to you if you can't take those type of feedbacks with your action. And it is the reason that if you've got money to spend in the things you like, always remain lowkey.


Staying lowkey is good that is if you are a starter in your financial process because there is a financial level you get to you can not stay lowkey, I mean people already know you even if you decide to stay on lowkey. However, back to your first point, I don't think giving is bad but you only have to be reasonable. If you are not a huge spender on things that are not necessary then to invest will be a challenge.

The important thing is that we should not gamble desperately to make money because that will have a adverse effects on us as a gambler.

This is a very good advise and that which I think differentiate the poor who is gambling and the rich who is gambling. The poor gamble in desperation because they see it as the only possible source of income so when they lose a bet, they desperately chase back the money and they keep loosing but the rich could have other source of income that he may have made profit from also so he covers the gambling loss with some profit from his diversified investment hence they wait for a lucky day instead of desperately trying to win at all cost.

Almost every one is knows Drake the artist who has a gambling habit and post his gambling slips often. He gambles with a lot of money, and he is just opne example of someone rich who gambles.

Yeah the name of drake was mentioned as a popular artist and rich but like you said and just like him too, he has that as a habit, profession to stream and win more people over. To him those rich guys who are not social media incline or YouTubers don't usually involve in gambling. That was his view but I think some of these rich people could be gambling in their closet maybe for fun and not necessarily streaming.

The rich man does not rely in gambling there are still other sources that become his income, he knows how to earn money healthily without gambling games, but that's most of the rich people prefer on their business/investment to generate not from gambling.

I think that is the point he tried to make that because the rich have a stable and steady financial inflow, they may not be found gambling like the lower class. Believe it that most people who gamble do that for the additional money expected as winning reward. I think there could be some sense in that anyway but I also know that some rich do gamble especially in football betting and when they are drinking, they could lock horn in P2P gambling with friends maybe that could be for fun and superiority to show who follows football more.
2425  Other / Off-topic / Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 21, 2023, 02:47:05 PM
I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.

So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?

You could have asked a question to reflect your topic which is a sensitive one and very good also. Listening those items like you did would have given responses that will make your thread very much intellectual one. Not withstanding the lacuna of merging your thoughts together, Political economy is not discussed differently from politics as it affects the economy.

That said, we have to look at politics which is basically the alliances formed to get government policies formed, execution or order of priority, likewise the economic policies. So it is basically the policies of economy in order of priority, which policies interacts to influence which policies. Politics is about lobbying also, compromise, alignments and priority. How politics affects or influence government policies is of top consideration in policy formation.

Other than that, loan to everybody... after you get some collateral from them that is 3 times the value of what you loan out. If they don't repay, the collateral is yours.

Cool

The possibility of the poor providing collateral is very small yet they need loan , so what do you do in such instance when they can not provide collateral? I think that is a delicate situation . IMO I think depending on the amount they are asking for, if it is reasonable with what they want to do with the loan, you can split into three also and give to help them without asking for it back, that is if you can afford to especially with family and close friend but a random person may not be of same consideration.
2428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 20, 2023, 07:30:27 PM

For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.


I want to say there is nothing bad to express hope in whatever you are doing but the above particular sentence is the reason that some gamblers have turn to addicts. They don't consider that luck is involved in it but they have taken it to be what they can't give up in and they consistently play to chase back their losses.  They work with hope for the bet to turn their way and when it doesn't, they are turning themselves deeper in betting. Although their are people who have benefited for consistently hoping for you who finally got it but at what percentage is that compared to those who never got it , that is the important thing to note.

2430  Other / Off-topic / Re: When will you be comfortable to start a home. on: July 20, 2023, 12:29:02 PM
for single people, when will you get married? Can you get married with an unstable source of income or you will wait till when you are very financially stable. Please share your personal answers.
Although your statement is very important I am single yet not married. And my plan is big yet my education is not over I am related to cryptocurrency along with my education. Of course my future plan is to establish myself and build a stable source of income and then start married life. At the moment I have no job or source of income so getting married would be most foolish. And a person must be established before marriage so that he can lead a happy married life with his wife in future life. and my move is that I will first establish myself and stand on my own feet and then get married so that I don't have to look back in the future.

Despite all our good plans to have a stable financial status to be able to lead a good home, train the children and make them happy as a father, we still should remember we can't wait forever for that to happen. Trying to achieve all that if that is your purpose, you should consider the economic situation of where you are living, times are hard and a stitch in time saves nine as they say.
2431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 20, 2023, 11:23:06 AM
The thing is that there have being high discrimination against women and gambling is not exceptional just like there is a limitation for women in sports and other sectors that set limits between women and men but between that, we also need to know that things are changing lately and the stigma against women are becoming minimal to some extent.
Gambling lately has moved online and for that women are becoming more involved since they now have the privacy of gambling with online casinos.

If you say that women are "becoming involved into gambling just lately" then you must be 100+ years old and from the times when women were not allowed to vote or enter same building as men can. If you say there is a discrimination, then why we often see women as dealers? Why behind cash desk in casino there is always a woman? Why always woman bring you a free drink? Why during  live games (while playing online) we see women as dealers? I have travelled a lot, been in many casinos and see no discrimination between men or women among employees and those who gamble. Money are the same everywhere and casinos do everything to get them. Casinos welcome everyone to come in and play.

I think what @Odusko was saying is referring to the past actually. Those times they women were not allowed to do certain things with women. In Africa for example, there was a time when a girl child was not sent to school, a time when the boy child is preferred to the female child. The boy child was sent to school and the female wasn't because of the excuse that she would marry outside the family and become the "property " of the husband family and whatever proceed to her as a result of her educational standard would go to the husband and husband family. I have also heard that kind of stories from other countinent. I have heard some countries also recently allowed their women to start driving, go to same school with men. At least every countinent had their own premordial stories including for gambling but all those have gone while some countries are still racing to meet up with the pace setters.

To support this view is to say one of the factors pushing women to gamble is the survival need. Gambling is not only the new found means to shoot at survival for women because they have been found in other business areas doing well including politics. Women no longer want to be known as the gender ascribed to be the kitchen maker, baby feeder through only the mammalian gland. They are talking over the role of breed winners and so they have to be in search of all the possible resources to improve on the finance of the home so that where the reasonable man is not able to fit in, they are already there and filling the gap for the home front.
2433  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Gmail Closing?? on: July 20, 2023, 08:25:51 AM
I don't think Gmail will be shutting down, Gmail is one of the easiest way to send information and other important articles at ease, Gmail is even used in major companies and other business sites..
I don't see Gmail shutting down anytime soon, except perhaps there's is an issue that need to rectified or maybe there's an upgrade on the site...

Being the easiest or fastest nor biggest is not excusable for a company not to go down or disappoint, that is not tenable because it is not a fact. Gmail may have had a network issue that they are resolving and that is understandable. They have made some solution online for accounts that are having such issue.
2434  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Terrorism in Africa on: July 19, 2023, 10:19:12 PM
Terrorism is a global phenomenon and not just an African issue but the problem with the African situation is that they lack adequate weaponry gadgets to take on the terrorist and that makes the challenge worse. When terrorist have more mechinery to fight the government , it means whatever effort made will be defeated.  However, somehow there could be external forces in the African struggle because of market for their weaponry.
2435  Economy / Gambling / Re: The Rise of Crypto Gambling: What You Need to Know on: July 19, 2023, 06:28:55 PM

Traditional sportsbooks have your address, your phone number, your email address, and more info about you. Some sportsbooks sell your information to list creators. Those list creators sell the info to tout services that call you to get you on board with their plans.


You should already know this is same characteristics you have with banks, fiat casinos and centralized crypto casinos. Fiat casinos may not request for your picture but centralized casinos among other things requested may further ask to see your face which in fact is very discouraging. So what point are you making with this? I'm sure your link could be about a casino running on KYC.
2436  Economy / Economics / Re: Population: Economic strength or weakness on: July 19, 2023, 04:49:58 PM
The population could be a blessing or a curse. This depends on the leaders of the country we are talking about and the people therein.

If policies are not good enough, the higher the population, the more devasting it would be. Another thing about the population is about those people that form the population (the masses), if they are nonentities, then there is nothing much positive that would come out of it.

Forget about increasing or reducing the population, it doesn't work, they are just litmus test as far as I'm concerned and it has different results per country. Once the foundation/system is wrong, it's a problem, the country can't get it right with either increased or reduced population.

China and India supports your position also. For them, their population is a blessing and not a curse. They have used their population for an advantage rather than disadvantage like African countries. Population should be an advantage if properly planned because countries need market where they can export their manufactured products, so such is an advantage to countries who have large population as they have already existing market for themselves and others, trade is important. There are other advantages, like human resources apart from welfare, they are also involved as expatriate which generate foreign income to them.
2437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: July 19, 2023, 04:00:12 PM
Well it's true you should be greedy when you already earn some money that you feel already enough. If you've make some money through gambling, it's best to stop, enjoy your winning and then comeback the next day or week to gamble. If you always try to achieve the highest payout or earn huge amount of money when you're only bet $0.1-$2, you're only dreaming because the chance is very little.

Consistent playing is what is known by many bettors who see it as a source of income. They don't see it as greed when they win and instead going away but continue to play. Sometimes you feel that the big win will bring more wins if you continue but it has not really been that way. The amount of money also contribute to greed like in football betting, some bettors carry alot of impossible games either because of the odd but they fail on the bet at the end. It is better to play reasonably.
2438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gain more fans than Bitcoin? on: July 19, 2023, 02:44:54 PM
Why? or  is the risk involved in Bitcoin higher than gambling risk?


No, the risk in bitcoin hodling is not more than gambling risk except you are trading it but if you are hodling bitcoin then you have a chance to still have your coins but in a lower value but gambling and trading bitcoin could be seen as same risk because if you lose you won't recover that particular chance except you make another bet or take another trade order.
2439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: July 19, 2023, 02:07:36 PM
My mistake was adding a new game to the betting slip I had already prepared and that new game was the one that stopped the winning. This is annoying but we can't keep blaming ourselves because it could have gone either way and if it favours our prediction that means a higher potential than what it was.

For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.


Cash out is a very good opportunity to win in sports betting especially football. I believe 5 years back the system had not been introduced and that caused many bettors losses and I also noticed that more people are betting now because of one or two advantages on the side of the gambler like cash out and betting while the game had already started. We should learn to take that kind of opportunity to cash when it present itself.
2440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: July 19, 2023, 12:42:41 PM

So yeah, we all, nit just newbies, should be very mindful of the type of bonuses newer casinos are offering to us to get us to bank with them, if the amount, or what ever is involved  sounds too good to be true or real, then its not a bad thing to get suspicious, like you said, its better to miss the bonus than be a victim to scam out of greed.

I think some gamblers are culprits to this. They are always particular about the bonus and referral bonus that they will get when they register on a casino but this is not suppose to be the attraction or inceptive to join a casino. All those bonuses are just marketing and advertising strategy that is attached with the opening just like it is with banks when you want to newly open account with them. What is important is the reputation of the casino especially the withdrawal aspect because every purpose of a bettor is to make profit and be able to withdraw it. However, if we are to also consider the bonus, if it looks too good then than should trigger our doubt, curiosity and keeping our eyes down to further inquire about them . New casinos should be treated with utmost care before you begin to see their reviews.
