3001  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment on: November 06, 2023, 01:47:27 AM
There is no doubting the fact that Bitcoin is by far more the most secure form of investment,  because Bitcoin gives you the maximum privacy,  security and control over your investment,  and that is something that conventional investments won't offer you at any point,  even though Bitcoin investment comes with a lot of risks,  but the risk can not be compared with that of losing a business or an estate due to human and natural causes.

Just like in the story that you shared,  this is a total waste of investment for the owner of that estate that got demolished regarding of what right the has or does not have to build on such lands.
 Investing in bitcoin also brings freedom and  this freedom comes with some accountability, because accountability breeds responsibility, you are 100% responsible for what ever decisions you make. Knowledge is important criteria in Bitcoin investment, for without knowledge one will go massively astray in the business. I don’t think the government will just go about to take people property without issuing out a warning or if the property is in odd place, a good surveyor will know a best sight for you to invest in because they know the map out plan of the area and if they had done their findings and deep investigation they will know if the property has any outstanding issues. It’s is important to always make proper assessment and findings before purchasing any property.
  Bitcoin is just about your work force and how much well you can manage your risk, risk management strategy is  very essential to attain success. The volatility of the market makes its very vulnerable and skeptical for some people to invest in.
Regarding the double aspect of Bitcoin: its independence and its responsibility. It is true that investing in Bitcoin is a complex process requiring an in-depth knowledge of the market. Although the freedom it provides can be exciting that very independence demands a rigorous dedication to making well-informed decisions. "Risk management" is a necessity; it is not merely a buzzword.

You make a valid point about governments and real estate investments. Thorough research is a requirement. Analysing cryptocurrency investments is also necessary. Prerequisites include keeping up with regulatory changes, cold storage options, and thorough exchange vetting. It would be like trying to walk a tightrope while wearing a blindfold to invest in Bitcoin without a well-thought-out plan and a watchful eye on world events. It's about strategic intellect, not merely workforce.
3002  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you rather make your investments in FIAT or CRYPTO? on: November 06, 2023, 01:17:07 AM
The crypto market has an high level of volatility, anyone who is about to make an investment need to have a good understanding of the volatile market. Now the question is even with the volatility will you still choose crypto over fiat when it comes to making investments?
Making investments in crypto or fiat? Or using crypto or fiat for other investments? These are two different scenarios, in the first one, you buy a certain cryptocurrency or save money in a certain fiat currency hoping for its value to increase over time against your local currency so that you can get some profit. The second one is using either cryptocurrencies or fiat for making investments in something else, like a business or something, that will generate revenue for you.

For the first scenario, I believe cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, would probably be a better choice since it's volatile and its value tends to go up from time to time and drop as well, but it eventually generates some profits for you. For the second part, I believe it's better to simply use fiat to invest in a business or something, also because cryptocurrencies can't be invested directly as they aren't widely accepted.
Your clear separation of direct crypto purchases from using crypto as a way to invest in other things is perfect. Let us make this clearer. Blockchain-based cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and some others have seen huge gains over time, making them look like an investor's dream. Despite this, it is important to be aware of the risks, especially since the market is based on speculation. Some people see volatility as a sign of chance, but its also deceptive. Its common for big benefits to come with big risks. One idea is to diversify your assets.

And finally, using fiat currency to start traditional businesses gives you more cash and, well, fewer problems. The cryptocurrency ecosystem isnt developed enough for businesses to spend easily. To top it all off, the rules and regulations in many countries make it even harder to access. Sorting through those murky waters is almost like a pointless activity. While you're thinking about starting a business, stick with cash for now. Its generally believed for a reason.
3003  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No advertisement for btc on: November 06, 2023, 12:49:19 AM
I was just reading this post and thought crossed in my mind that there has been no advertisement for Bitcoin. It's all growth has been natural, it's quite surprising if you think about it.
There is not really any need for bitcoin to be promoted, as in a way this is done indirectly by all the business that are related to this market, as exchanges, casinos and any business which accepts bitcoin already promote it.

Besides unlike altcoins which are centralized and owned by just a few people, bitcoin is truly decentralized, so we do not have a CEO or a board of directors which can take the decision to do this and assign funds towards this goal.
The indirect promotion of Bitcoin through affiliated firms is, at most, flimsy. We are talking about a big change in the way money and deals are done, and it has value that goes beyond its use in casinos or as a simple transactional tool in some businesses. It's what a decentralised banking future will look like.

Putting altcoins' centralised control next to Bitcoin's decentralised structure is a waste of time. Even though Bitcoin doesnt have a CEO or board to fight for it, that shouldnt mean we should just let it go the way it is. If we really believe in its ability to change things, then its our job as supporters to support its story. Why not use the power of its global community to create more important conversations and a better understanding of each other
3004  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: November 04, 2023, 08:58:07 AM
I think one should not keep any job or activity as a secret because if there is no secret then people can give you suggestions and advice otherwise you will loss money continuously and people will know it when you completely loss whole amount and start borrowing money from others. Your work have impact on your personality therefore if you have bad job your career will also be bad and if you choose better job you can speak about it with everyone because you will be glad for your act.

It’s not such a bad idea to keep your activities secret from people around. It’s the individuals choice anyway to keep his activities private and it’s not the business of anyone. It also doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a bad thing that’s being done and that’s why it’s kept a secret.
Agreed, when your habits are being kept secret and it begins to consume you, there would be no one to talk some sense into you and it could spiral into an addiction.

Asides all that, people are free to keep their activities secret and private from prying and judging eyes. And there are a lot of them in the society.
I agree with you. We all have a different situation and scenarios in our daily lives and there are times that our surroundings are a bit annoying especially if they know the things that you are doing. Not every people or country is ok with gambling, there are people who are conservative and those people are the one who will just bring you stress after knowing that you are doing vices like gambling. I personally think that it is better to not talk about it for majority of the people since it won't harm you and won't bring you any negative emotions. Things change when you are addicted, it is better to not keep it secret especially if you want to cure your addiction.
The shame that comes with gambling is real and can cause extra stress. People feel like they have to hide their actions because they are afraid of what other people will think, which feeds the fires of guilt and secrecy. Its true that not everyone likes gambling, and personal freedom and social norms often dont play well together. So, whats the answer? Keep some privacy, not to get away with something, but to keep the peace.

Things look different when addiction is involved. People get stuck in a loop they cant get out of when they keep things from others. Being open isnt just a good thing to do in these situations; its important. To get help and break free from addiction, you need to take a different method. Balancing privacy and disclosure is the true challenge.
3005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 04, 2023, 08:36:44 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?
I mostly lose to every gambling session I play on right now as I mostly play dice or slots currently and I already expect it to happen. Even though I know my luck isn't great I still continue to play and gamble in hopes of hitting a high winning streak and be able to cash out big just like I've already experienced before. Also, apart from the winnings, I tend to socialize and enjoy each of my session with the gambling friends I've already have on chat which kept me from coming back everytime.
It would seem this is true for the majority of the gamblers out there, while a session in which we win is quite nice to remember and we may tell others about it for a long time, a small look at our betting history should reveal those sessions are not very common, with the most likely outcome is to suffer some small losses each time we decide to gamble, which should not be too much of a problem as we are supposed to only use a small amount of money when we gamble.

Yes, things are indeed like that, personally I have always said that in my entire life as a player I know that I have lost more than I have won, what happens is that over time one becomes a little more expert and can close a little bit about the losses, it may be that we play with more intelligence and I have discovered two things, that the budget that is willing to lose is the one that always has to be available, as the first option and second, it is something that still bothers me, When I play and I have profits, what should be done is that one as a player be satisfied with those small profits, because even if they are very few, because that adds up and increases, little by little, if you play every day, because it adds up, it will never You have to play with a lot of money to win a lot, because if you play with a lot then you can lose that and much more, then these are the tips that I have learned, it should be noted that for my gaming sessions per Day they do not exceed 10usd , yes it is Enough at 10usd simple loss, I don't play anymore, but if in a 10usd game session I reach 12usd I leave it there and continue playing the next day, with the very 10usd without touching the 2usd profit, that is What I have learned, and so far it gives results, at the end I am no longer left with a Goal equal to zero.

Of course, this is normal, in many juice sessions, people can suffer many losses, in a casino this is normal, and there is no reason to be ashamed, because things can happen like this, and when we look at it we are doing things like this. It should be, never as something that is improper, but the caisnos have every advantage to win , because that is why they are Graduated , with an Advantage of the case for them to have Profits , no one sets up a business or a Company to Suffer Losses That's Never the case, so when we do things that way we have to Settle for having those things clear that are super Important , and we never get out of Control.

A lot of people fall into cognitive dissonance, which means they treasure their wins and downplay their losses. Your strategy, which is based on smart planning and gaming, is exactly what makes you a disciplined player versus a careless one. When you play video games, you walk a fine line. One mistake can send you into a downward spiral of loses. Putting a strict limit on yourself, like your 10USD limit, protects you from the terrible effects of playing too much. A lot of people should learn from you.

The truth is, though, that casinos are set up to be predators, and players are their prey. Their only goal is to make an environment where they always come out on top. It doesnt matter how smart or skilled you are; the house always wins. This is something you already know and using it as a guide for your games is not only smart, its necessary. It might be less sneaky for big losses to happen if more people understood this and acted on it. You're being played if you're not in control of the situation.
3006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: November 04, 2023, 08:05:06 AM
This question is one the reason's why some people get loss after wining their gambling, their is something I understand in gambling and the things I understand is that in a gambling you have to be careful and also not to be greedy in a gambling, because gambling have to do with luck and risk and when you are opportune to when in gambling you should not hesitate to make sure that cash out the money and have your capital back, and if you want to continue you can use your gain to gamble again but not all you have gained, do not make such a mistake of not cashing out because its an audio money until you cash it out.
It is true that almost 70% of gamblers experience massive losses because they are greedy and cannot accept what they have got.
In fact it is very simple where we bet and when we are lucky to win then withdraw some of it and leave little just in case we want to bet again but this is just simple thought that is difficult for most gamblers to determine.

There have been many victims of greed and many gamblers have experienced bad luck due to mistakes in their steps when gambling, but the many cases that have occurred have not made gamblers think better.
That is sad to know that many people are still like that but I think that is also because online gambling is now possible in this era. Indeed that acceptance is only what we need to be not among it. Withdrawing after a win is only easy if the win is already huge. If not, you will likely push your self more.

You are lucky if you will still win but if not, it can cause you some regrets. I don't like this anymore to happen with me, so I'm starting to make a habit to secure even the tiniest winnings that I will make. To have a wrong move when playing could lead to a loss but a bad-luck can come even though your moves are already perfect.

This is the thing that we really have to overcome, sometimes because when we experience it, it is because we always feel that luck will never run out and what is formed in our mind is that we will never lose. This is the thing we are chasing to defeat the casino controller.

But I hope as long as possible please, if you know that somehow we have a big win, think that it will help the family that we have a lot, it's better that we have a win to bring home than nothing, because if we continue let's go, we will definitely lose in the end.
they kept going after the house because they thought they had a streak of luck that could not be broken. Players are stuck in a cycle of hope and disappointment in this quest. There is a psychological underpinning here - a natural desire to beat the odds that the casino managers have set up so that they look impossible to beat.

While its a good idea to think that a win would help your family, it can also lead to problems. Wanting to win for the sake of family and friends can make it hard to make good decisions, and what starts as a dream for success can turn into a never-ending cycle of losses. It is important to be realistic about gambling and know that the house usually wins and that withdrawing money strategically is often the best thing to do.
3007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Difference between crypto gamblers - regular gamblers on: November 04, 2023, 07:43:38 AM
From what I've seen, people who use cryptocurrencies are naturally skeptical and want to learn a lot. Why? Because data is king in the world of crypto. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, which means that users have to be more careful and proactive about where they put their trust.

Provably fair gambling is a truly revolutionary idea that bridges the gap between regular gamblers and crypto gamblers. Regular casinos that dont use these kinds of openness measures are, to be honest, out of date and show that they dont care about fair games. Individuals who do not use cryptocurrency to gamble are unintentionally at a disadvantage because they do not expect this level of openness. What you say about the psychological tricks that regular bettors fall for is a harsh truth. The intellectual gap is made even wider by the appeal of fake bonuses and other casino tricks. Crypto players naturally build a defense against these kinds of psychological traps because they are always trying to learn more. Do I think this gives them an edge? Of course.
3008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: November 04, 2023, 07:18:20 AM
You are right, these situation when it becomes public without your consent can of course happen. The lottery in some countries is a good example because for some time they required their players to consent to becoming publicly known or announced when they are the jackpot winners. There are still some lottery formats that work that way. And this reminds me of problems that occurred with the Italian mafia. Google "lottery win, mafia, Italy" and it's really frightening how these people may have been hunted down for their winnings. In one case there was a group in an Italian village announced as winners in public and they really had to hide from there on. It is unknown whether they were hunted down. 

I had no idea the Italian Mafia used the resources and man power to hunt down lottery winners in their own villages and cities, which is frightening. If lottery operators are aware of those problems in their societies, then they should completely give the option to their winners so they can claim their jackpots anonimously. One can understand that the lottery, as a company, wants the public to know they are legitimate and they indeed pay to their big winners, but FORCING their winners to risk their physical integrity for money is simply utter selfishness and stupidity.
There could even be some link between the Italian Mafia and the lottery operators to carry out those crimes against winners, but I don't have any proof of such corruption, neither would dare to try to write much about it, for my own personal security, mafias and crime syndicates are not to be underestimated.  Sad

You understand how it works and I agree that there is a high possibility for this to be true and it would also explain why the lottery would make it a requirement (or did so in the past) for winners to come out in public. Because if they didn't get mentioned publicly, how would the mafia know who won the money? That would allow for the only conclusion that someone from the lottery operation is giving out names secretly.

Having a lot of money is amazing and solves so many problems, but it changes life in a different way and I think people who go from no money to millions in a short period of time often underestimate the true consequences of that. People who have been rich for a long time learned and know what to do, whom to trust and how to behave in certain situations.
The idea that lottery organizers and crime might be exchanging information in secret is interesting. This "under the table" conversation would badly hurt the ideas of fairness and privacy. Unsettling to think that lottery winners might be thrust into the spotlight for more than just proving that the lottery is real. How do you tell the difference between being honest and having a secret agenda?

One's life changes irreversibly when they go from being poor to having a lot of money very quickly. The innocence of a new millionaire is very different from the learned caution of someone who is always rich. Going through this huge change is a Herculean job that requires more than just financial knowledge. People who are about to get a huge gain might need to get some training in how to handle their money and keep themselves safe.
3009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: November 04, 2023, 06:56:30 AM
This is why it is good to do all our hustling when we are young, so in our old age, we'll focus on relaxation and engaging only in things that makes us happy.
There are many sayings that while you are young, enjoy your life by gambling and looking for something fun when you are old, you should enjoy your old age in a relaxed manner with your family and grandchildren, after all, who wants to continue gambling until they are old, although maybe there are those out there who do it, but I'm sure they won't feel calm and happy in his old age with his family.

I also personally still look for fun in gambling in almost all the casino games I play and other things, but I don't think that the gambling I play is to make money or gain wealth, all of them just want to find fun from gambling, after all we know that casinos It was built to provide entertainment, not to share money, the point is to gamble only when you are young and stop when you feel bored and old.

You know the saying that one man's food is another man's poison, so inasmuch as i respect the opinions of people that thinks that it's best to enjoy your self when you're  young, gamble and have fun, it's all very good, but you must also keep something for your old age. Perhaps the word 'hustle" means suffer to you, but my meaning of it is to work hard in your youth, when you still have plenty of energy and save enough money for your retirement, when the strength to work will be diminishing. If you don't hustle or work hard to plan for your retirement, you might end up leaving a miserable like in old age, when you'll be depending on others before do what is good for you.

So personally I'll rather limit my enjoyment now that I'm young, and enjoy more in my old age, where I'll have my own money and don't need to depend on family and friends before i do things that'll give me happiness at that age. So even do I'm not into gambling now, I might fancy a little gambling just for fun, definitely not to depend on it for my upkeep or be an addict. If you have money you can do what makes you happy, so far it's not illegal, and if it's a little gambling in my old age , so be it.
You cant just ignore how important it is to plan for your future. Your point of view is clearly smart. Many people teach the phrase "live in the present," but its still wise to know that youth is short and old age will have its own needs. We're full of energy when we're young, and its important to use that energy for long-term goals. Age isnt just a number, after all; its a stark fact that your skills are fading and your needs are growing.

Gambling needs limits, just like any other fun pastime. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement, but because it is unclear, it is not a good base for building security in the future. Its moving to think of old age as a time when you can freely enjoy yourself because you've worked hard your whole life. This kind of foresight is important and rare. Think about this: Will the short-lived benefits of today be greater than the possible problems of tomorrow? Perhaps, as you said, real freedom means being able to choose how to be happy in your old age, whether that means gaming or something else.
3010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Conclusion after losing millions! that games are rigged. on: November 04, 2023, 06:28:22 AM
Its a known fact that there are times when people in the gaming business try to trick people. When you add the streamer's comments to your own, they do bring up an important question: Is there something behind the scenes that is working against the player? Even though rigging is a very serious charge, the fact that you keep losing, especially in crash games and slots, points to a chance that needs to be looked into.

The phrase "provably fair" is used a lot in a business world driven by computers and profit margins. Accountability and openness are very important. When players say something is fair, they should expect proof that can be checked. Data research, public pressure, and regulatory scrutiny are the only real ways to find out if someone is rigging. Join communities, talk about these trends, and work together to make platforms more accountable.
3011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and it effects on: November 04, 2023, 06:06:51 AM
Today I want to take a deep dive into gambling and how negatively it has impacted our society;

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

When I finally quit the addiction, I realized that I was doing better than I even thought,

Fast forward to yesterday when I go into a betting shop to see someone, I was shock to see some of my guys in the neighborhood which I knew they where doing well, now looking wreshed an tattered.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.
The harmful side of gambling in society cannot be overstated but gambling takes away from society more than it gives. Social harmony and order are largely lost due to gambling.
Gambling is enough to ruin a family's financial condition. Gambling not only worsens the economic condition of the family but also creates chaos among the family members and breaks the family ties and causes strife.
Gambling is responsible for organizing many social crimes. Crimes like theft, robbery and dowry in the society are only caused by gambling. So hundreds more problems are seen in the society only because of gambling. So gambling must be abandoned to maintain social order.
When our communities are at stake, not just chips on a table, every roll of the dice and card flip is called into question. People who are addicted to gambling often lose their ability to think clearly, which keeps them in a loop where they risk not only their money but also their relationships and social roles. The effects on money are bad enough, but the damage to society goes deeper.

Additionally, the link between gambling and a rise in certain crimes cannot be ignored without a second thought. If some of these horrible crimes can be traced back to the gaming tables, thats a scary thought. Aside from the money, we're also betting on the very fabric of society. What is the idea? Self-reflection, critical dialogue, and strong steps to lessen its unchecked impact right away. The health of society must always come before short-term joys.

Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?

You need to be able to give up habits. And if you can't give up some occupation, and it takes away your strength and time - most likely you are dependent. Therefore, if a spouse asks to stop playing slots, for example, then if a Non-Problematic player re, he will easily refuse.

But sometimes there are cases when there is no addiction, gambling is given a small part of the time and money, which means it is a controlled activity, and it serves as an anti-stress and benefits. In this case, it would be foolish to refuse it.
Sometimes this lends itself to things being directed through many aspects and among these are those that if either of the two people are Having a bad time, then they should leave it for the good of both, that is, if the person who is If you think about being in a casino, you're late, you arrive drunk, or you arrive very badly, that's something very Unpleasant, because girls when it comes to this topic can be very delicate, especially if there are children involved and they see that example that they see. Well, because it is something very bad, that example should never be given, now well, if the person who plays casino games is normal, legal without problems, is not Addicted and sees that the game does not interfere in any way. negative energy in his life, so why does he have to leave ? There is no reason, one thing that can always be done is when it directly affects the person because it is something very common that can happen , so if that is the case, then you have to leave it so that the other person does not feel bad and you Can build something good.

Always when it comes to doing things in the best way and knowing how to say them, especially in advance, the other party can do it well and do things as they are asked, but if you can do the rest in a good way, no, because it is Obviously, when you know how to ask for things, you reach your goal faster, but yes, and only if you know how to lose, but if the person doesn't like the game in any kind of things, and the other person wants you to stop Playing just because it seems to you. , it doesn't seem fair to me, because first of all the casino is a means of fun , it is used to make Disasters and it doesn't take away the option of being able to have a lot of money if you have a stroke of luck, so in this order of ideas things can go on the right path when they are done as they are , but Always in a couple understanding must come first, then I would Agree to leave the game if it has a negative effect on some of the two, but in the case it doesn't, and that Be a whim of one of your two ,because the recommendation is that you don't give up the game.
You think theres no strong reason to stop gaming if it doesnt bring bad things into someone's life. Personally, I agree, as long as the person isnt addicted and their gambling doesnt get in the way of their interactions with other people. The subtle difference between a fun hobby and an unhealthy passion is very important.

When children are introduced to these kinds of behaviors, though, no matter what the situation is, it gets worse. One person in a couple who doesnt likes the other person gambling can really cause problems. Finding a good balance takes thoughtful communication and smart compromise, making sure that everyone's feelings are heard and respected.

Yes, of course now I enjoy slots in a different way because basically things are very given to the fact that when it comes to slots I prefer to do what I like and that's it, I'm not looking for profits, I just enjoy, now in poker if it's another thing, well I have always liked it and I have been doing things so that they can be established for the better, when I think that there is a good poker tournament, I like that they are always, and that is to say, I don't know if they played betcoinpojker, it was a software Where it was played online and the one I won was a big prize in crypto, well that's just what I've always been looking for, I can't deny that events have been organized, but those events have triggered many things, first of all they are not constant, they are tournaments They've been going on for days, I don't like it, I do like it, but I prefer the tournaments, they last 1 or 2 hours, maximum 3 hours, the gjjguadas are discreet, there is an almost naid chat, it's good, it's interesting.

When I get a Platform of this style, I will be much more interested but for now there is no one that catches my attention, but I like the poker that is Manifested in some casinos, such as they are, their speed, everything, yes, but it is against the casino , I would like something more to play against people, in completely PVP mode, I don't know , but I think I have a better chance of winning when a table is full so I think I have a better chance of winning. Of course, these are also the options that there may be to have fiat money tournaments, but it is not my thing, my hope is what stake.com may be developing at the moment and the only thing I am looking forward to , so that could be a way out and recover the interest in poker that many also have but have not awakened it yet because they do not have a good Platform that is Interested , for this reason it is Always very likely that many have become attached to the slots that at the same time same poker.
It's good if you can enjoy the gambling games you play because by liking the gambling games, we can enjoy the gambling games. But if we move to another gambling game just because we think we want to find a bigger chance of winning, it won't be easy because every gambling game can also result in losses and the amount of losses will vary depending on the number of bets you use. But some gamblers just try to take part in every event that is held, whether it is a slot game or poker or other gambling game, so they just want to experience the fun of these events. Gambling in tournaments makes them more enthusiastic because there are big prizes they can get and they realize that this means they have to compete with other people who may have higher abilities than them. Hence, they have to gamble more seriously.

Playing on stake.com can be an interesting experience, and I think you already know that especially since stake.com also has lots of gambling games that you can play from time to time. And there are many kinds of slot games from various providers so it will give you a different experience. You can also try playing baccarat or blackjack if you understand the game and how to play it because by understanding the game, you will probably have more chances of winning than your opponents. But that doesn't rule out the possibility that they will win against you. I still gamble more often in slot games because, with so many slot game providers, it makes me spend more time playing slots than other gambling games, even though I sometimes play them too.
People who gamble are torn between wanting to have fun and earning money. It is pointless to switch games in order to win because the results of gaming are always unpredictable. Winning contests and prizes is very tempting, but you need to know a lot about how risks work in order to successfully do so. You make your point clearer by focusing on the variety of slot games that can be played on stake.com.

When you lose, though, you might find it useful to play strategically and handle your money wisely. It could be helpful to get better at games like baccarat and blackjack. Not only do you need to be excited about competition, but you also need to know how to play it. The best way to get the most out of gambling, then, is to arm yourself with strong tactics.
3014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Still A P2P Electronic Cash System ?. on: November 04, 2023, 04:59:29 AM
People consider Bitcoin an investment just because it is too early in its adoption for it to be used as a currency. The natural progression of an opt-in global currency like this that goes from 1 person to global adoption is: get rich quick scheme -> high growth investment -> store of value / savings -> transactional currency.

We're out of the "get rich quick scheme" phase, which we can say probably ended after 2017. But we are still very much in the "high growth investment" phase. Probably over the next decade we'll see the huge bull and bear markets come to an end as the halving effects fade away, which will lead Bitcoin into the "store of value / savings" phase as the stigma and occurrence of giant crashes fades away.

The "transactional currency" aka P2P cash system, is the end phase. You only get to that once we start reaching mass global adoption so that enough people have Bitcoin to actually spend it with any sort of density with merchants, and also this only happens after people stop being able to say, "well if I hold onto it for another couple years it'll double in price so I may as well not spend it", and also once hundreds of millions of people have held onto Bitcoin long enough for their money to have appreciated to the point where they feel comfortable spending their financial gains. So basically, mass adoption needs to occur before people will actually use it as a currency to buy things. We're still probably 20 years away from the start of that. Like, even if say Amazon added Bitcoin payment this decade, hardly anyone is going to be using bitcoin on Amazon for the first 10-20 years, which is also why it makes sense and is also not a problem that hardly any merchants accept Bitcoin now, cuz it's still way too early for that.

While roughly the 2010s were Bitcoin's get-rich phase, roughly the 2020s will be Bitcoin's investment phase. 2030s may see Bitcoin maturing into the store of value / savings phase. And I would expect in the 2040s we'll start seeing bitcoin being used to buy things becoming fairly common.
Assuming that Bitcoin is no longer just a "get rich quick scheme" is too simple. Opportunism is still common because the market is volatile and based on guesswork. Looking closely at how technology progress, changes in regulations, and economic shifts affect each other is needed to break down the timeline you suggest.

There are too many factors to consider when arguing that Bitcoin will become a "transactional currency" in a straight line, following your planned stages. Dealing with the complicated factors that could shorten or lengthen this road is very important. Because global financial systems and regulatory settings change all the time, your timeline for mass adoption in 20 years is based on speculation and doesnt take that into account enough.
3015  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 93 Percent of all Bitcoin Has Been Mined on: November 04, 2023, 04:35:28 AM
It is truly amazing to know that 93% of all Bitcoins have already been mined, leaving us to deal with the fact that there arent many Bitcoins in circulation. Without a doubt, the 7% that left puts us on the verge of a major shift in the way the economy works. Your prediction for 2140 isnt just proof of the slow flow of supply; its also a sign that the gavel will soon decide how rare and how much demand there is for this digital gold. The race to mine the last few Bitcoins, on the other hand, isnt just about leaving money behind. It has to do with claiming power in an economy whose core ideals are always changing.

A legacy is a goal, but it should also show that you have insight and good strategic sense. Its not a matter of how old or how soon you think about Bitcoin as an asset. Its about how big of a change it will make in our financial system. If you want to know if you need Bitcoin, you should ask yourself if you can afford to ignore the huge changes it offers. Not only is it smart to start collecting Bitcoin now, its also necessary. Making plans for the future.
3016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to build a career with bitcoin? on: November 04, 2023, 04:08:30 AM
Someone can become rich because of investments and someone can become rich because of profits from trading. You can always try it if you have the budget, but never ignore the risks involved. Someone can set a profit target for each trading session they do, for example 2% per session and the profit really depends on how much capital you have.

Successful traders never trade all year round, but they only take advantage of certain moments to gain big profits. If you want to build a career with bitcoin, it's possible, but of course you have to have special skills regardless of what you can rely on. If you are good at analysis, you can share the results of your analysis in paid Telegram groups or you can also gain profits by sharing videos on various media.
Surely, the path to wealth through smart investments and smart buying cant be taken lightly. Your point about setting a 2% profit goal makes sense, but it really brings home the need for a strong cash base. Successful sellers are smart and choose not to be in the market all the time so they can take advantage of good opportunities. To move around in the Bitcoin world, you need to have a deep understanding of both how Bitcoin works and how money works in general. One possible path is to turn analytical skills into profitable businesses through paid Telegram groups or informative video content.
3017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you rather make your investments in FAIT or CRYPTO? on: November 04, 2023, 03:45:33 AM
There is no doubt that the crypto market is very volatile, which is a quality that could either make or break an investment. In this landscape, fortunes are made and lost in a single day, proving the saying that high risk often leads to high gain. When investors are asked to choose between crypto and fiat, the world of decentralized assets, which is always changing, is put next to the standard fiat economy, which often stays the same.

It is very clear that no one is so stupid as to say that buying fiat is an investment. Policies and stable governments determine the worth of fiat currency, while crypto is a symbol of the libertarian dream of a financial system with fewer rules. When making a decision, one has to weigh the excitement of possible gain against the comfort of what they already know.
3018  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Force Your Children to Learn Bitcoin on: November 04, 2023, 03:42:46 AM
You are right about this, I think when they reach a certain age they will find bitcoin on their own the same way we are fascinated by bitcoin. So we don't need to force any child to learn about bitcoin too early, sometimes it will be counterproductive and make them fear bitcoin more than they actually like it.

I saw some people suggesting that children should be forced to learn bitcoin as early as possible, but I wanted to ask those people. Do they have children, are they married or not, or are they single and giving advice they have never experienced before? Because if someone has children, they will understand what it takes to raise a child.

However we still need to monitor what children learn and how they learn. I would not be a happy father if my children learn that cryptocurrencies primary goal is to be an untraced payment for something illegal or not for their age. I would be very disappointed if my children would find out first that bitcoin is used to buy drugs or something on darkmarket, and only with time find out that this is for example is a great investment opportunity or becoming a "blockchain IT guy" is actually a pretty good and well paid job. I would not force children to learn anything, but I think it would be good if I would be the first person to give them first impression about crypto.

Of course, we can introduce bitcoin to our children and should keep a close eye on them so they don't get scammed or use it for illegal purposes.
But what I want to say here is that they need to reach the right age to introduce bitcoin and finance. We should not force them to learn, and we should not force them when they are too young to need to know about bitcoin.

Honestly, not just with bitcoin but also with the financial markets. I am a latecomer compared to my friends but my current profit is better than my group mates. Investing early is also important, but investing early does not guarantee your results will be the best. To be successful, you need to combine many factors, not just be the first to join and become the most successful.
Undoubtedly, that financial concepts, including Bitcoin, should be introduced to children at a suitable age. It is important to emphasize, however, that financial literacy is not solely based on age, even when it comes to cryptocurrency. Beyond simple chronological maturity, one must possess the subtleties of investing and the sagacity necessary to manage tumultuous markets. It is therefore necessary for us to consider when it is best to introduce these issues.

That being said, I have to disagree with your claim that early investment has no consequences. Although theres no assurance of success for early entrants, a more astute investor can be developed by encouraging a younger generation of investors to grasp market dynamics. Well, your tardiness in joining but excellent earnings highlight the significance of strategic ability, but doesnt that particular skill need underlying understanding developed over time?
3019  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not share your bitcoin holdings with everyone on: November 04, 2023, 03:18:40 AM
"Consequences." When people make some mistakes out of their ignorance, they face the consequence of their action. Bitcoin is something that you can own without involving any third party and it's not something you can trust with someone that you don't actually trust to the root, even giving off ones investment information to your kids who are not yet of age is very risky because children talks and they can actually give up the information at the wrong place and wrong time. The person that got kidnapped and asked to pay ransom in Bitcoin, had an internal enemy who already knew how much of Bitcoin he has got. For example, you can not kidnapp someone who have just $100 worth of Bitcoin investment and ask them to pay ransom in Bitcoin.
"Consequences" gives a strong message about how important it is to protect investments, especially in the Bitcoin world, which is very chaotic. Its a strong warning that when it comes to digital assets, ignorance is not bliss and serious consequences happen quickly. Without outside interference, an autonomous currency can be both helpful and harmful if it is used incorrectly.

Using the example of the kidnapped person as an example, the internal enemy is a dangerous threat that is often ignored. Securing your assets while protecting your privacy is a difficult balance to strike. To teach caution without encouraging fear, what should we do? As the talk you start goes deeper into managing cryptocurrencies, our strategies need to be reevaluated.
3020  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die on: November 04, 2023, 02:57:03 AM
Teaching good things doesn't harm anyone even though you're not interested in it but it helps them to become aware of it. It is simple, it gives them an opening idea that Bitcoin really exists and many people had already been involved with this. Maybe we could say that they are not interested upon reaching out and telling them today but can possible that they will change along the way after hearing it from us personally. In fact, we can't expect that those interested people will then start to invest and use Bitcoin, the same thing happen to those who are not interested.

Teaching and learning goes hand in hand, because you can be teaching and the nobody is paying attention. It all depends on if the person is interested in what you're teaching, to avoid being snubbed while teaching is best to let the individual know what you want to teach and how profitable it would be to him or her.
There's no amount of pressure apply to let someone learn something, if he or she chooses not to then you wasting your time and energy. In teaching Bitcoin, to me I don't think you should talk much while starting to convince anybody, talk less and watch the body language of the person, that alone would pass a message to let you know how interested the person is or not.
I agree with your point of view that teaching and learning are connected but separate factors. The tricky parts of teaching Bitcoin, or any idea for that matter, are wrapped up in the question: Can you really get someone who isnt interested to be curious? Its important for the person teaching someone about blockchain technology and digital currencies to be able to tell when the person is ready to learn.

In response to your point that pressure doesnt work, it brings up an interesting problem. No one can be forced to learn something they dont want to, but the draw of money can sometimes change people's minds. There is a fine line between promoting the benefits of Bitcoin and letting the possible learner make their own decisions.
