2801  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Give Bitcoin investment time on: October 27, 2023, 11:37:57 AM
Unfortunately, when people buy Bitcoin, they expect huge profits within a short period of time. This is the source of panic and fud that is exhibited by many Bitcoin investors.
It's not Bitcoin that needs time but we are the ones who actually need time. We sometimes expect too much of something instantly. Even though we understand the meaning of investment. In any investment, we definitely need time so that we can achieve the targets we expect. We ourselves set the time until when we can achieve this target. If our desire is to invest in Bitcoin to become rich or get many times the profit in a very short time then you could say we are not investing, but rather something that forces circumstances to our will. without considering various surrounding factors. Bitcoin is something very valuable and that's for sure. and there will come a time when Bitcoin will rise again to its previous target until it exceeds it. so let ourselves be more patient and not rush into investing.
Its very smart to point out that its not Bitcoin that needs time, but us. Today, people are impatient and always want things right away. This is a big problem, especially when it comes to investing. Just for a moment, though, think about what investment is. At its core, its a test of how patient, tough, and smart you are. Its not investing to expect huge results in a short amount of time. Thats speculation and gambling. You are exactly right; trying to get the market or any object like Bitcoin to do what we want it to do without thinking is a very risky game.

 Yes, Bitcoin has value and a huge amount of promise. But getting into the crypto world takes a deep understanding of both how the market works and how to keep your wallet safe. Hacking efforts are on the rise, and digital assets are always at risk, so protecting your investments is very important. We need to know whats going on, be alert, and wait. Then we can really use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for what they're meant to do.
2802  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs the government on: October 27, 2023, 11:14:05 AM
That's why I often tell people, don't listen to what politicians, billionaires, and bankers say but look at what they are doing. Frankly speaking, no one wants to share wealth with others, especially billionaires and rich people, they never want poorer people than them to become rich like them. Therefore, they will find ways to prevent others from becoming rich. I also believe that the people who slander bitcoin the most are the people who are secretly buying the most bitcoin, and they are trying to slander bitcoin in the media just because they don't want to share bitcoin with others.

As it's always said in the real world, "the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer". We live in an unequal society where the "elite" get to dictate the rules of our society. These people often tell lies for their own benefit. Otherwise, everyone would have the same social standing. Governments are smart because they secretly buy and accumulate Bitcoin, while giving the public a bad perception about it. The same can be said about rich people like Donald Trump (it was discovered he had a wallet with ETH in it) and Elon Musk (often criticizes Bitcoin's "high energy consumption" but still owns a considerable amount of the cryptocurrency).

You should not make your decisions based on someone else's opinion. Instead, do your own research to help determine what's best for you. One way or another, the world will embrace Bitcoin as an alternative to Fiat. The question is, have you accumulated enough BTC to prepare yourself for the future? Just my thoughts Grin
Society has, in fact, made up a story that serves the needs of those at the top. People with money and power often change the story to keep their place. Theres a clear story here, right? The strong quietly buy Bitcoin while working to make people not trust it. People like Trump and Musk have the nerve to publicly criticize or play down Bitcoin while also investing in the crypto world. This contrast is not a mistake; it is part of a plan.

You're exactly right: mindlessly following the elite's words and actions is a trap. When making personal choices, especially about assets like Bitcoin, people should do their own study and learn as much as they can. Decentralized banking is the way of the future. The real challenge is getting ready for this coming change, even though the world is slowly starting to see Bitcoin's potential. Will we stay like slaves or will we break free and decide our own future?
2803  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is the increase in Bitcoin price benefits us on: October 27, 2023, 10:46:55 AM
Many cheer Bitcoin's price rise, but its important to analyze its implications. A greater Bitcoin price can attract more investors and offer credibility to the digital currency, allowing it to enter new industries. Does the market have the maturity to manage such quick appreciation?

Bitcoin's price rise has major effects. Bitcoin's acceptance by industry as a legal payment option could change global transactional dynamics. Adoption brings scrutiny and regulatory issues. The long-term view requires a strategic understanding of the changing crypto ecosystem, but this price increase may benefit us in the short term. Ready for it, are we? More importantly, is the crypto world ready for this growth?
2804  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Startup says it can access $235M in locked bitcoin — but owner says ‘no thanks’ on: October 27, 2023, 10:23:57 AM
Security and decentralization are two ideas that are at the heart of crypto. This extreme need for protection is shown by devices like IronKey. But heres where it gets mind-boggling: whats the point of having top-tier security if the user experience falls apart? We're talking about losing access to huge amounts of money because you forgot your login. Thats not safety; thats the start of an existential problem!

I can see why people would want ultra-secure gadgets, especially in the crypto world. But there has to be a balance. Crypto users and fans need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Does it really worth the stress? Theres a huge hole in user-centered design, even though some might argue in favor of such strict security measures. Devices like this might be fading away, but the scars they leave behind? Those linger.
2805  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto? on: October 27, 2023, 10:03:50 AM
The fact that cryptocurrency is being linked to real-world assets like real estate shows how the economy is changing. But, demanding extra money to accept crypto? This is an example of how highly uncertain and volatile digital currencies are still. If buyers think crypto is risky, they will try to protect themselves from that risk. This looks like what they're doing. Even though crypto is breaking new ground and pushing the limits, there are still problems and doubts that keep it from being fully accepted.

Whats the weirdest thing I've bought with crypto? A porn membership. You did hear that right. But thats both the beauty and the complexity of crypto: it can be used for almost anything, from buying land to more... private pleasure. But the real question we should be asking is: what does the usage of crypto for these types of purchases signify about the direction of our modern economy?
2806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs usdt (Tether) on: October 27, 2023, 09:30:35 AM
Bitcoin and Tether are fundamentally different. Bitcoin pioneered decentralized digital currency without financial institutions, while Tether is a stable cryptocurrency tethered to the US dollar. People commonly confuse the two when they compare them. Tether may look stable because to its 1:1 peg, but can you trust it long-term? How's it supported? We have what assurances?

Bitcoin is unique due to its decentralization. Tether promises stability but lacks Bitcoin's long-term trust. Tether's trading and storage potential doesnt compare to Bitcoin. The idea that Tether can compete with Bitcoin is absurd. Its trash when compared with Bitcoin. Be skeptical, especially with your money.
2807  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in the last 5 years compare to now on: October 27, 2023, 09:17:00 AM
Bitcoin's rise from $4,000 to roughly $69,000 is remarkable. It shows volatility, potential, and speculative nature of it. However, these numbers must be examined alongside their underlying  drivers. The embrace of Bitcoin by Tesla is not a casual investment strategy. It proves the digital currency's potential as a hedge, asset, and mainstream payment. But, is Bitcoin's popularity due to its worth or speculation?

Institutions want diversified portfolios due to low interest rates and high asset prices in the global economy. Bitcoin provides that. Regarding your trend continuity question: While business giants have validated Bitcoin's utility as an asset, its volatility is clear. As corporations experiment, the stakes rise. The next few years are crucial. Bitcoin's trajectory depends on regulations, institutional interest, and market dynamics. Not just growth, but strategic and sustainable growth.
2808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment on: October 27, 2023, 08:53:53 AM
Their is a two categories of things you mentioned and I believe that what you mentioned concerning bitcoin and fiat currency  as [no.1] while real estate management or investment and bitcoin  as [no.2]. Starting with bitcoin and fiat currency,  when looked at it very well you will understand that bitcoin don't have do with any thing competition with fiat currency and secondly a fiat currency is a tradinational currency in which it has already dominance across the world as a currency, and it has been in existence for long time ago and many people who is at age of seventy and eighty  [70-80] does know of bitcoin.

Whereas people of [70-80] what they really know is a fiat currency, so bitcoin is digital currency that is decentralized and the objective of creating bitcoin is not to takeover the existence of fiat's currency but rather been a support of fiat currency, but many people mindset is that while bitcoin is been introduced and the influence of bitcoin in the society today is to overtake fiat currency.

So the aspect of real estate management and bitcoin...this is a two kind of giant investment in which before you venture into it you have make sure that you have scrutinised your path and also comprehend the risk measure which is involve in the two investment. So bitcoin have a risk of the price is not constant or stagnant in which you may conclude that the price will continue to increase after you have invested, but is not been done in such ways.

Bitcoin investment is been determined by the market, and secondly the increase in demand and decrease in supply ucan attributes for the increment, but the investor don't know the tendency of the increment, so the same scenario is applicable to decrement also, were if the increase in supply is higher than the demands it will after the market too.

So a real estate management and investment is any investment that have do with precautions and its a risk kind of investment people do not take the risk serious and they believe that real estate investment is sure and it doesn't have any a risk....but the risk which is involve in a real estate is the position or the site, because if you invest in a real estate that is undeveloped environment and it takes take more than ten years before the place or site can be developed

As a result of it been undeveloped after you have invested for period of five you are not seeing any signs of developed, you can  panic and sell your land or house at a cheaper rate because their is no development in the areas, so that is what I'm telling people who compare bitcoin investment and real estate investment...A risk is in everywhere in a any investment.
We need to understand that traditional and digital structures are fundamentally different. There's no doubt about it: today's eighty-year-olds are not digital babies. For many people between the ages of 70 and 80, fiat money is still the main way they measure economic value. It has been this way for decades, if not centuries. Your point concerning bitcoin's perceived goal to support fiat is relevant. But its impossible to ignore the paradigm shift that crypto could bring about.

Putting real estate and bitcoin next to each other is very complicated. Both projects are complicated and have many parts. Even though its clear that bitcoin is uncertain and subject to market swings, real estate also has its problems. Your point about location being important can make or break a real estate venture. Some might say that investing in an area that hasnt been developed yet is a risky idea, but waiting can wear you down mentally and financially. Without a doubt, every investment comes with some risk. Any comparison between bitcoin and real estate must carefully consider these risk-reward trade-offs.
2809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: October 26, 2023, 09:51:48 AM
One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.
If you submit to therapy, certainly you have to pay its price and it can be very expensive for those who have no sustainable source of income. But anyone can receive a therapy and just apply it into the addicted gambler if this gambler is not capable to pay for his own treatment. While friends and relatives can also receive some therapy to lessen their stress and act as support groups to the addicted gambler, as having direct support from family and loved ones is very essential as the gambler has no one to run to but only his loved ones.

But even if therapy is constantly applied, that will not guarantee the fast healing of the addicted gambler if the gambler itself is not helping his own self. He should be more submissive to his own therapy and admit to himself that he really needs it badly, otherwise he won't be able to accept any help at all.
You wont really be needing to resort into such option if you are really just that having that control towards yourself or your mind because you could eventually quit up addiction if you are really that willing on doing so but well not all people does have that kind of control and this is why they would really be opting with this kind of solution in regarding into their addiction which its really that sad considering that counselling and other correlated treatment which involves professional help wont really be that something cheap or something that have cost but honestly, this is really just that your last resort if those things arent really that working like self realization or seeking out some help with your loved ones. Different people does have that different motives and controls towards themselves on which there are ones who are really that good on doing things and there are ones who cant really be able to do such thing and this is why they do really end up on the last options but well this is a common
problem and solutions or on how to get rid of it will be entirely be depending on the individual.
Keep control, keep control! It always circles back to that. You're right when you say that addiction wouldn't even be a problem if people really had power over their actions. But, alas, that's just how people are. Some people are born with a strong will, while others find it hard to even pretend to be in charge. But is it really just about hard work? There is a huge gap between wanting to quit and actually being able to do it. Recurrent cycles of dependency arent just a step for some; they become a big part of who they are.

Professional help and counseling that costs a lot are out there, but can everyone get to them? They're not, no. It is a sad fact of life. Its still true that some people can beat addiction with self-awareness or the help of loved ones, but others stay stuck. In fact, everyone has different limits and motivations. This problem has been around for a long time, but the only way to solve it is with custom solutions that are made for each person's unique situation.
2810  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Halloween inspired poll –would your Bitcoins get passed on if you suddenly died? on: October 26, 2023, 09:22:23 AM
The abruptness and uncertainty of life, especially when discussing a topic as weighted as this, makes one rethink the conventional wisdom surrounding digital asset storage. Your emphasis on the actual, tangible preparedness of individuals versus their mere conceptual ideas is indeed striking. Lets face it, the cryptocurrency world is a complicated labyrinth. But does that excuse not having a clear, executable strategy for when one is no longer around? Absolutely not.

Now, lets critically analyze the aspect of "access." This isnt just about leaving a set of instructions in an envelope. Its about ensuring heirs not only understand the intricacies of cryptographic keys, wallets, and exchanges but also possess the knowledge to deal with the volatility of cryptocurrency markets. Your poll emphasizes the immediacy of the situation, which should be a wake-up call. How many can genuinely claim their Bitcoins wont end up lost in digital oblivion?
2811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 26, 2023, 08:59:57 AM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?
I will ask whether the person has his senses with him. Where is it done that someone else will finance someone gambling to win with the condition that if he wins, the portion of the winning will be given?

Anyone who asks for such help to finance their gambling should be regarded as an addicted gambler who doesn't know what gambling ought to be(for fun) rather than playing it to meet their financial gains

Have you heard of such before? What is the end result if you have?
Yeah, I have heard about that in the past and the end result was disastrous that both parties had a serious issue that leads to fight of who owns the lions share than the other.
Funny enough is the fact that these persons that are being financed to gamble happen to be so good at it and make more wins than losses.
Unless the financiers are also gamblers and very close friends with the person sponsored for the gambling, I doubt this easily happens, as every single gambler is all about the big win that would set them up for life.
If we do really just simply thinking sensible that it cant really be just that so easy on funding someone just to make them gamble or make out bets for you unless if you do have that illicit kind of intent then it might be possible but in the sense about in speaking about trust with funds then it is really that impossible that you wont really be having no doubts just in case this do really happens on you.
As for you as a gambler, then its impossible that you wont really be having those questions in mind in speaking about how would someone would be recognizing you on placing up some bets aside for themselves and since you are really that be suspicious if ever there's someone who would really be doing such act which you would really be ending up on thinking that there's something behind
with these kind of offerings. This is why better be careful on what you are dealing with.
How can one easily hand over their hard-earned money to someone, expecting them to gamble responsibly on their behalf? Its nearly impossible to do so without a web of doubts enveloping the mind. The act itself carries with it an inherent risk, and coupled with the uncertainty of another's intent, it multiplies tenfold.

For someone deeply immersed in the world of gambling, such offerings can indeed raise a myriad of questions. Why would someone willingly place bets for you, especially when theres nothing in it for them? Theres always a lingering suspicion, a shadow of doubt. Its almost like an unwritten rule: always be on guard, especially when things seem too good to be true. Your cautionary note resonates deeply: one must always be wary and discerning.
2812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 26, 2023, 08:39:34 AM
Gambling is not bad but of course, that must be placed in the right place and at the right time. In fact, we have break time or could be made after office hours. if we really care about ourselves, and our job, and are dedicated to working for the company, we should not try or have to do this.

Gambling at work is not really a good habit and the consequences are...
 - getting fired from the job
 - low performance
 - losses
There must be a division between your time working and gambling. If you cannot divide your time, then gambling will interfere with your main work at the office. The purpose of gambling is only for entertainment, if it is not treated as entertainment and defeats the main job then you will experience several risks that you mentioned. If you get fired you will regret everything. So never gamble at work, just do it at home in your free time, but if gambling is your main job, do it as much as you like.

If one should gamble why they are in their working environment that one should be when they are consider to be on their break period which they can use for anything if they don’t want to rest with it and after they have been done with their meal those kind of gambling behavior is understandable.

But if the person in question is on duty and have things that they should be attending to and instead of focusing on those things they start using their time for work to gamble and be predicting game, such kind of attitude is not good and anyone involve in such is not fit to work, as gambling behavior should not affect their normal working hours and if they are too obsessed with gambling they should rather stay at home and don’t pretend to find pleasure in working. Because they can spoil something in their work environment if they have a very bad luck on their game any day which might affect w company or cause them large loss.
In fact, it is very important to find a balance between work duties and personal leisure. Theres nothing wrong with someone gambling during their break after a hearty meal; its their choice and maybe even more acceptable. That being said, letting gambling habits creep into work hours? Thats a breach of professional ethics that worries me. A lot of people have this "problem," but are they really controlling their time or doing more than one thing at once? Being honest? No, they're not committing as much to their job or the quality of their work.

People who cant stop thinking about gambling while they're at work need to take a deep breath and think about whats most important to them. Do they really care about their job, or are they just putting on a front while their real interests lie elsewhere? Whether its gambling or something else, obsession shouldnt get in the way of doing what you need to do. There could be terrible effects on the business, especially if something major goes wrong because of the interruption. Its not just a personal matter; its about being dedicated and responsible.
2813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 26, 2023, 08:08:05 AM
`

Actually, there is nothing wrong with having plans for our future. At least we have guidelines; that's up to us if we try to make it happen in the application that's arguing. It's just like my experience before: I didn't want to become a gambler, and I even said then that I would never become a gambler.

But what I said didn't happen because I was still a gambler and tried to do it here in the crypto space. But this doesn't mean that I gambled in crypto gambling was bad, of course not, because I'm not an addicted gambler; I'm just doing it just for fun. That's what I do if I win, thank you; even if you lose, thank you because you enjoyed and were entertained; it's that simple.
Life's plans are two-sided. They provide structure but also limit. You demonstrate life's volatility, friend. A gambling averse person trying crypto? Who knew? Very intriguing. Like sports betting and fun gambling, crypto gambling isnt awful. Everything depends on thinking, strategy, and control.

We shouldnt overlook the bigger picture. Trajectories alter. Aversions become passions tomorrow. Congratulations on considering gambling as amusement and taking both wins and losses in stride. Even pleasant gambling has risks. Setting limits and being watchful are crucial. Staying grounded is as important as enjoying the ride.
2814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 26, 2023, 07:46:31 AM
Cash out is used in games like sport which means to cash out at lower price before the match is over or to wait until the match is over. What you meant is withdraw your money on gambling sites or to continue playing.

I am using trustworthy casinos and bookies, but if I win, I withdraw the winning immediately. I play for fun, I am using little amount of money, but I prefer to cash out and use the money for weekend.
If the gambler or the bettor is not sure of the game that he will win the full game (slip) and if there is a cash out option in the game then he has to do that before everything end on his bad. But if he s sure that the slip will or the game will enter fully then there is no need to cash out. Because cash out is 50/50, there are some casinos that even allow 40/60. And I have seen many gamblers cried for the both sides. Some would say if "they would have known, they would have cash out before the game end", and this happened when the did not favour the gambler. While the other would say, he would have kept the game if he would have known and this happened the game or the ticket enter well. And that is why we always say gambling is a lucky game. But as for me I prefer keeping the bet until the end of the match and if I loss, I loss and if I win, I win. There is no 50/50 in the my betting.
It is good for us to always catch out when we bet so that we are not going to lose the funds back. Gambling can be unprofitable if we have the habit of gambling and not catching out our profits since the risk of losing will always be there if we don't calculate our risk to profit ratio. I don't keep money for a long time on a casino because I know that I can be tempted to use the funds to gamble on other games which can make me to lose if I am not lucky to the extend or having a small wins. Those who gamble with bigger funds need to be very careful on they bet since luck might not always be there for us.
In gambling, especially sports betting, control and discipline are key. Missing the cash out deadline leads to temptation. You're right: its a common pitfall that can result in big losses even after a few wins. A difficult balance, right?

Talk about high-rollers gambling with big money. Their strategy should differ. They need more than chance. No, they need extensive investigation, profound analysis, and near-obsessive risk-to-profit ratio knowledge. Large fund gambling is very different from casual gambling. Even with apparently endless luck, the house always wins.
2815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a Top-down or Bottom-up bettor? on: October 26, 2023, 07:25:20 AM
Though they use these methods, many casual bettors are unaware of them. Top-down betting from clever bookmakers seems like a shortcut for non-sports fans. Relying heavily on external sources, even if proved, can waste time and put one at odds with some bookmakers.

What about the bottom-up method, which shouts autonomy and control? Control brings responsibility. Modeling and qualitative insights are difficult. It takes time, money, and game knowledge to use this strategy. I believe the ideal sports betting strategy is a hybrid approach that makes the most of both worlds. Opinions on that? When we can use both methods, why limit ourselves?
2816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 26, 2023, 07:03:34 AM
It really should be. For me, only the pros and talent in gambling have won a lot of money or made it a source of income. As for people like me who are only in the middle class, yes it's nice to hope to win a lot of money in gambling but we know that it is very impossible, it is very rare to win a lot of money in gambling. We know that there are still many people who do this as a job or source of income that should not be.
There are people who have also made it through gambling but they never really believed in it and was never really good or professional gamblers they just focus on few games that they want to play base on there own definition of fun which the fun got complete at the end of the game and most times they surprisingly emerge as part of the winners which win big from gambling in a short time.

There is nothing bad by seeing gambling as a place to have fun and make money all together, if you are opportune to have everything that the person and the only time you visit a casino play game and waste few dollars this kind of people use money to catch fun, but for the people who barely even feed 3 times finds gambling as means of making money, but which ever way anyone wants to treat it the end is that gambling is base on luck and personal skill, people can gamble for fun only if they can afford that and they can also play for profit if they can afford not to give up.
The goal of gambling is not just to lose money and hope for the best. Although some people do achieve success without a solid plan or idea, this is more of an exception than the rule. If you understand the subtleties, these casual players who are just looking for fun might sometimes hit it big. Affluent people often see gambling as a way to have fun and possibly make money. Whatever, a few dollars lost in the name of fun? Situation changes a lot for people who depend on gambling for their survival, though. As you correctly stated, it all comes down to luck and personal skill. However, we must not forget how important it is to be smart. Individuals must carefully consider their position and the reason they are taking the risk. Its not just about finances; its also about knowing the game and, dare I say it, respecting yourself and it.
2817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 26, 2023, 06:28:54 AM
The honest truth is that gambling for fun isnt always a good idea. Being bored can lead to bad behavior, especially when it involves gambling. Its hard to understand how a simple, seemingly harmless choice can turn into something bigger. Start with just 85 dollars and then go up to 1800 dollars? Thats not a small jump; thats a dangerous dive. Some people go down roads they never thought possible because they are bored or want to feel excited. It is very important to think about these kinds of decisions.

Well, your opinion is right on the mark. Its dangerous to chase loses, especially just because you're bored. Bets on games should never be used to pass the time. A lot of the time, exciting events cost a lot, both financially and emotionally. Spend a lot of time thinking about what you did, and remember that this is all a learning curve. When you do something, it usually has a response that is very far-reaching.
2818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: October 26, 2023, 06:00:44 AM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?
Subjects are people who have suffered from the symptoms of an addict, the infatuation causes them to lose alertness in their behavior and thinking, causing them to always fail, and that keeps repeating until they are exhausted, or they are exhausted. The loss is strong enough to wake them up.

Because I'm a person who likes entertainment in gambling, I don't want that stress because games involving money require careful calculation, but if it's just fun, there's no need to be too harsh. Losing in a game that is repeated many times is completely different from failures that realize it is a mistake, so as mentioned before, a gambling addict needs to change many things about their perception to help them quit. That's a terrible habit of forgetting, and that's not a motivator at all Smiley
To be honest, what you're really talking about is a loop that happens all too often. No matter what kind of addiction it is, it tends to turn into a whirlpool of mistakes, exhaustion, and finally, guilt. Why, though? Why do people keep diving in headfirst when they know what will happen? Its kind of hard to resist, isnt it? In gambling, the thrill of the game can make it hard to tell the difference between having fun and losing everything.

Now, I completely understand why you want gambling to stay a fun activity. Theres an art to this, if you will, an art of leaving things behind. A danger zone is when you keep losing without understanding whats going wrong. But how can one tell the difference between a small mistake and a huge mistake? What I see. Its important for bettors to keep evaluating themselves and their attitudes. As you correctly pointed out, changing how you think about things is the key to stopping. Not forgetting is not the answer; addressing it is.

Records? They seem essential to me. How else would you evaluate your gambling behavior, decisions, and results? I dont consider it time wasted. Holding oneself accountable is what it is. Is game enjoyment more important than ignorance's risks? The solution is obvious to me.

Enjoyment and duty should coexist. Gambling is thrilling and unpredictable, but isnt it also about strategy, comprehension, and judgment? Those who dont keep records may miss game depth analysis. Why ignore such a crucial game element? Why not accept gambling's many layers?

When people start up a company, they give it some years before they expect profits. Most times they even re-invest their profits to expand and build their company to the standard they desire and this requires time. Furthermore, when people buy stocks of a company or make investment in businesses, they give it time which run into years before they expect profits.

Unfortunately, when people buy Bitcoin, they expect huge profits within a short period of time. This is the source of panic and fud that is exhibited by many Bitcoin investors.

While educating people about Bitcoin, I think it is wise we tell them Bitcoin need time to yield profit, let us change our approach in sharing Bitcoin knowledge so that people will not come into Bitcoin with the mindset of get-rich-quick.
This is a realization that most of the people who want to invest in bitcoin do not actually understand bitcoin well and their decision to invest in bitcoin is not because they are highly knowledgeable about it but they invest because they believe that bitcoin will offer quick profits just by short term investing. In reality, it is very wrong because in all kinds of investments, profits are gained after years of business operation and bitcoin is never an exception. And its clear that those who risk in business do not enjoy profits very early but most of the time, they incur losses at first before they will come to enjoy the fruits of their business, that is their most awaited profits.

Education can be vital for all bitcoin investors. That they should understand all the basics about bitcoin first before they take part in risking their money to invest in bitcoin. And just like other type of businesses, bitcoin investment needs more time to progress before people will enjoy harvesting their profits.
It looks like everyone is jumping into the bitcoin scene like its a gold rush, trying to get rich. However, most people dont understand the technology behind it or what it means for the future. Whats with that? Bitcoin trading isnt a magic way to get rich overnight, thats what people need to understand. Real investment takes a lot of determination, time, and study.

Its good that you brought up the need for knowledge. Lets be honest: how many people really take the time to learn about the blockchain, freedom, and security of cryptocurrencies? A fleeting few. Putting money into stocks without fully understanding them can have terrible results. Bitcoin should no longer be seen as a way to get rich quickly. Instead, it should be treated like any other serious business. Dont jump on bandwagons without knowing where they're going. Instead, dive deep and learn the ropes.
