Do not make gambling your only source of income or your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.
Much better if you don't rely on it as a source of income. You win probably some as you gamble but that doesn't mean it can be your source. I do know people that have been gambling all of their lives and made gambling as their major source of income. But, it is them and can't be applied to me as I know that it won't really work at all. You gamble, win some, have fun and that's it. Leave everything for that day in the casino whether they're good experiences, wins or losses. That's how we should approach gambling. |

I'm seeing Bitcoin rising to $400,000 before the first quarter of 2025, the bull run this time it will be different from the last one.
Can you include your reasons and analysis on how you came up with $400k? I am not doubting that someday it will be there but I just want to read some good analysis how high as $400k it can go. Because with what I have seen, they're $100k-$150k and $250k seems to be the highest. Bitcoin is $70,000 now the halving have not started, I'm looking at the market that this is the right to buy and hold after the bull run then you sell and make your triple profit.
Yeah, it's totally different now and as we approach to the halving date I think that we're going to see some corrections first. But with these corrections, I am not worried as this is a sign that we're on a healthy market which is needed for Bitcoin to move further once the halving is done. |

Well, that's one problem for the gambler that he is not willing to open it up to his relatives because they don't want the others know that they're in serious addiction.
That's the first thought that comes to their mind and think that it's going to be as hard as it can be and they'd be pressed on by their relatives and won't be there to help.
It is the assumption that the addicted gamblers make and that's why instead of letting others know what they struggle with, they choose to remain silent about it.
Yes, usually it's like that, where as a whole, usually gamblers, especially those who have entered the addiction phase, are synonymous with always keeping it a secret that they have entered the addiction phase, they hide this from their families because they are afraid that their families will scold them or even throw them out of business. home, I know this because I am in an environment that is quite active in gambling, almost most of my friends are gamblers and some are already addicted, and yes, it is clear that hiding gambling habits from other people, especially family, is a problem that causes addiction. that in itself is difficult to overcome. This is one of the reasons why gambling addiction is difficult to overcome, and maybe in my opinion it all comes back to the gambler himself, or what this means is that overcoming gambling addiction always depends on how the gambler himself is because if for example they still have high ambitions for gambling. These people still really want to be involved in gambling activities, so it's useless even if their family helps them or even forces them to stop. Still, I think they will definitely still be involved in gambling secretly. Yeah, they're afraid of being told on what kind of person they are. There are families that will just throw out their member if they become addicted to gambling. And for that reason, someone who's struggling with addiction in gambling won't tell it until they've been discovered and they'll take it on their own without anyone's help. It's also the same with other addiction that can't be noticed easily and can be hidden by that person who's into it. They think that it's shameful when someone discovers they're addicted. |

Nice trades, holding cryptocurrency could really give you profit, but we should never ignore the risk on trading or investment.
I believe that Bitcoin or crypto could help us achieve a better life or be successful, we only need to understand or learn how to earn from it, trading is not for everyone it requires patients, knowledge and skills.
It has given a lot of us a better life and that's not deniable. Those that have sticked to the market and held Bitcoin even if many have been bashing them, they never gave up holding it. Some that have panicked that they're able to sold at a cheaper price. That still have given them good gains at that time and put into good use the money that they've earned from holding and selling Bitcoin. But now is where the lessons are being applied. The longer you're holding bitcoin, the less worry that you'll get because this is how it goes when you've gained a lot of experience from the ups and downs of this highly volatile market. |

I have never made any transactions using bitcoin ATMs because in my previous country there were only 2 ATMs in the city center and in tourist attractions but they were no longer used and left abandoned due to lack of interest.
Where is this and from what country you are? I come from Indonesia and if you see some news in the local media that i read there are 2 bitcoin atm in my country where it is located in the capital city (Jakarta) and in a fairly famous destination (Bali) but indeed the bitcoin ATM is no longer used at this time for several reasons, especially the lack of interest in doing so. I have read about a news there that your government is very strict with crypto matters and that's probably one reason why the company that owned those bitcoin ATMs left and abandoned those. I also have the same desire where maybe i just want to try even if it's just once but indeed with a fee that is quite expensive of course it's not too good for me because after all in this case we certainly have other options to deposit or withdraw bitcoin with a cheaper fee especially with a nominal as in the article where the minimum fee is 10 percent then I think it's still too big for me.
Even so, it doesn't matter if you just want to try it and I also have the same desire if I find a bitcoin atm in my country now.
10% for the fee is really too high. We can do a lot of things with that already if your withdrawal is quite high but even so, 10% is a big no just for a fee. I'll take the other route of going through some exchange and use them as an outlet to get that money of mine and will pay little amount or commissions of theirs for the process. |

I think when it's come to seriousness of the status of the gambler and it's not really helping at all with just the help of the family. Because what we can think of the kind of help they will do is about the support and acceptance.
Other than that, it's going to be more of the moral support and cheering the addicted gambler that they're there to cry on their shoulders and no matter what happens, they won't leave him.
So, it's a combination of help that the gambler can have and it's rare to see that kind of help nowadays when your family is there with you trying to help you get out of your vice.
Basically, everything will come back to depending on the gambler himself, or the point is that it depends on whether the gambler is able or willing to accept some help from other parties such as family or professionals or not, because the reason why addiction is difficult to overcome is because the gambler himself really does not want to be open about what he is experiencing so that it makes it difficult for us or professionals to provide something in the form of appropriate assistance as needed, because addiction has different levels, Some are still in the early stages of addiction and some have entered the chronic phase and also the point is that the problem is that if for example the gambler does not want or is not ready to stop then obviously whatever help you do will have no effect, because addiction is something that is in the human brain that leads to habits, so if for example you want to change someone's habits then we have to make them believe and believe in some of the steps and support that we provide to help them get out of the addiction phase, and this is a difficult thing. So I think it all depends on the "acceptance" of the gambler themselves, simply put if they don't want to stop then they will definitely continue to do it and also for the family problem honestly I believe that no matter how bad your family is they will definitely care about you and they definitely hope that you can change or get out of these bad habits. Well, that's one problem for the gambler that he is not willing to open it up to his relatives because they don't want the others know that they're in serious addiction. That's the first thought that comes to their mind and think that it's going to be as hard as it can be and they'd be pressed on by their relatives and won't be there to help. It is the assumption that the addicted gamblers make and that's why instead of letting others know what they struggle with, they choose to remain silent about it. |

Who wants to think about Ethereum clones in 2024. There may have been a time when these clone got attention but in current time most of them are struggling to stay afloat. Ethereum ecosystem has another ecosystem of L2 solution provider.
Cloning won't do anymore when investors have got a lot of choices to pick from all of these projects that can do the same as Ethereum. But as long as the name of Ethereum itself is attached to any of them, they will sound as a good one. With the recent Duncan upgrade the later 2 ecosystem is going to get much bigger.
I think that the name was "Dencun" and not Duncan. Above all the narrative of the market is no longer utility but meme coins.
That's true but it won't last and it will be changed eventually. Even when Bitcoin is dragging the market into red some shitcoins are still in green.
Sometimes they're directly proportional but there are moments that they are not. |

Sometimes looking towards increment in salary wouldn't solve our problems.Over the years there has been hardship in the economy all over the world, and people complain on how to increase there salary or have other alternatives of getting more funds, and even when they get what they desire, they still complain that since their source of income has increased, there expenses has also increased. But I think that people needs to control the way they spend, in other to be able to save more. If paraventure we decided to spend according to how we earn without reducing the level of spending, we may end up not being productive.
That's true that even there will be an increase with wages, it's also going to impact the expenses will increase too. Or that's the solution by the continuous rising cost of everything. But it's not about what you save because even if you're a saver, there's a huge tendency that when you're needing most of your money, you'll still be able to spend what you've saved. For me cutting down expenses would be another way of adding value to our money. Like cutting down the rate we eat, for those that spend alot on food, you can do better without over eating. the way we buy unnecessary items that has no value, when we have other useful things to do with money. So lets focus on the top priorities, expecially things that will bring more Money.
What do you guys think about this? Would this be helpful? And what do you think will help us in this time of economic hardship?
I agree on this one but as you cut down your expenses, try to find ways of increasing you income. That's one way of fighting against the inflation but there's no way that you can reduce it on your own, it's a country's and leadership's task to do. |

My bet is my bet and I don't think that I'll ever be affected by racism if it does happens to me. I'm more inclined to mistreatment than of racism.
I know that they seem to be close to each other but mistreatment and being done to me without any reason or if the staff are rude, that's what I'll start to avoid games, people and even casinos.
When I am not treated well for no reason and I just casually gamble, it's hard to find fault as to why I am being treated like that and whether it's racism or not but when we're mistreated, it's so heartbreaking.

- That's true, and I agree with what you said about the family, because no matter how addicted to any vice, they are there to give us support so that we can change it. Yes, that's why they disappoint us, but they still can't tolerate us because, at the end of the day, we're also part of the family. And they will still show the concern that they know you need sympathy so that you can help yourself in the situation that they know we need. True to that. We're still family no matter what happens. If they will just let you go on with your addiction, only a few of them want to see us being wild with it and the majority of our family members want us to be in a better place and do good in life. But if they've been helping you and you're not helping yourself, the problem is in you and they'll get tired giving you the help that you need because we're just mortals and we've got limitations on our resources and emotions. |

If a family member's help or the entire family doesn't help that addicted gambler out of his addiction. That's what they have to do, to seek a professional help that have dealt with this problem for so many times.
All they have to do is to know the actions that they need to take so that it won't be offending to the gambler. Because many times did I saw that the addicted gamblers that were just being helped by whomever is helping them, they were not open to it.
So whether it is from a family member that helps you out and trying to bring you to a professional to seek help on how to get out of addiction in gambling, don't take it badly but look at it positively as they're concerned to you.
Yes, maybe the scenario can be like that where the first step they can rely on their family or closest family members to help overcome their addiction problems in various ways that can be done and that make sense to do and as you said that if it turns out that support from the family has absolutely no effect or only a little effect then the next yes the family can ask for help from professionals to help continue the support stage for the healing process. True, that indeed helping to deal with addiction problems suffered by others whoever it is requires caution - caution and steps that are not arbitrary, Because yes, as you say here that sometimes we can give advice and direction that is not appropriate or means that it is not time to enter into such advice and direction which allows them to feel offended by your words especially if for example they are one of the people who are quite sensitive where what you say is true that they can become not open about the addiction problems they experience, so of course supporting, giving direction with the aim of helping the process of change requires caution and considered steps. I think when it's come to seriousness of the status of the gambler and it's not really helping at all with just the help of the family. Because what we can think of the kind of help they will do is about the support and acceptance. Other than that, it's going to be more of the moral support and cheering the addicted gambler that they're there to cry on their shoulders and no matter what happens, they won't leave him.

Does this concern you ?
No. And that is because I am just a casual user of the exchanges and I am using them as what they've been built for and that's to trade only there. I don't keep my assets there and that's why it doesn't really concerning nor bothering me. But those investors and traders that are keeping their funds on any exchange, you've seen how the reputable ones get into trouble and don't be too confident with the current ones that has no record yet. Because if they're transparent then I don't think that there's gonna be a big problem for them. |

Honestly, I applaud those investors that are getting their money at risk investing into meme coins. Like the actual newly launched in the market and they can pour like thousand of dollars on it without having any beat in their hearts.
I guess investing into the memecoins nowadays is the new gamble. A gamble that has a high risk yet there's a high reward but for someone who's got a weak heart, this isn't for you as you might faint when you see that you've chosen the wrong ones.
But to put the note in here, not everyone who invests into random meme coins becomes profitable. That's all you people have to remember.

Usually we cant really be able to blame up the other family members or the entire one on the time that they cant be able to help one of their members when it comes to addiction. Why? We do know that its most likely that this individual would really be tending to be silent and private as much as he/she could even up into his family on which they would really be silent on whatever the things that they've been dealing with on which this is really something that very common and this is why on the time that the family do knows or recognize some problems on the time that those things becomes too obvious specially when it comes to behavior and some debt problems. This is the time that the family would be taking up a course of action on the things that they would really be needing to do on which it would really be that a normal approach that they would be helping out since its part of the family. We are longing for the betterment of everyone on which it is really just that a normal approach on having up this thing rather than on making ourselves showing no interest on solving others problems. The blame should be on the gambler and not to the family members that can't help you or if they are trying but it's not enough. First things first is that the gambler that has become addicted is at his own fault. If it's not for him then there shouldn't be any help that should come to him because in the first place, he's not addicted. But then, as the situation changes and he's become addicted. That's how it is going to be that he'd seek help from anyone who think he can help and if the family member's are directing him to seek professional help, he can't blame them for doing so. |

I have never used one and I don't think that I'll come to that point because as far as I am reading thoughts of folks long time ago with these. They're charging outrageous fees and commissions from whoever is going to use them. Maybe at some point of my life, I'd do it for the sake of experience. But that doesn't make me a less Bitcoin guy if I'll never use it. I have never made any transactions using bitcoin ATMs because in my previous country there were only 2 ATMs in the city center and in tourist attractions but they were no longer used and left abandoned due to lack of interest.
Where is this and from what country you are? |

On the other hand, I also agree with your opinion and suggestion that there are other parties who can help cure someone who is addicted to gambling, such as professionals who already have quite high flying hours related to dealing with addiction problems like this, which means that maybe they know better about what should be done to help cure someone who is addicted and overall I think these two parties, namely family members and experts, still have the possibility to be able to influence change towards someone who is addicted to gambling.
If a family member's help or the entire family doesn't help that addicted gambler out of his addiction. That's what they have to do, to seek a professional help that have dealt with this problem for so many times. All they have to do is to know the actions that they need to take so that it won't be offending to the gambler. Because many times did I saw that the addicted gamblers that were just being helped by whomever is helping them, they were not open to it.

An achievement it is if it's your first time betting and winning on a live game. I don't bet into such but make sure that this don't overjoy because what may happen later on is you'd be wagering more or what you cannot afford to lose.
The excitement and joy is there and that's why I am giving you a reminder to please be reminded about that and always get yourself in control. Because with first time wins, this is where our confidence is being built.
And you'd never know how far it will bring you if you don't watch yourself out.
That's why some people say that having bad luck the first time you play is actually having quite good luck. So you won the bet, and chances are that you're reliving it in your memory and waiting for a new opportunity to repeat the feat, but next time you probably won't be so lucky, so plan ahead and set some personal limits before you put too much at stake. At least it's not instant games, so you have more options to cultivate patience. Whatever the case, I wish you good luck  I definitely agree, setting some personal limits so that he won't go that far and will result into more intense type of gambling as he might not able to contain himself with it. It's also fine if he's going to keep with small bets so that he won't be having any problems with money and it's a way for him to control himself. Once he starts to see that he's betting with big amounts, he has to be careful with that. But as long as he's betting fine and small amounts, he's good and just have to enjoy. |

I often watch poker videos on YouTube where the player have very good acting to hiding his cards through his flat face. I have seen them being able to win with very bad cards on their hand with a good bluff, all in his chips. So I imagine, and often play poker online, I am very happy if I get a good card and I can't hide it well so just go all in all my chips. So what do you think?, how do other players know when I have good cards when playing online?, Is by check and don't call the bet they know we don't have a good card?, I'm not good at hiding it, sometime when I have double AS, I always all in at the beginning.
There is no way that the other players will know what cards you have because they can't see your reaction. This is the good reason to play poker online when you don't want to see people's reaction and so as them won't also see your face. But I think with how you play, they'll see and get you notice if you usually bluff. So, if you're a typical bluffer, they'll remember that as factor and that might be used against you even it's online. |
