`
We are really just humans and its just normal that we would really be that reactive whenever we do see our investment do make out some negative value then it is really hard to resist to be making yourself numb
and wont really be making out some reactions basing up on your investment condition. If you do have plans on long term holds then it would really be that better that you shouldnt really be often making out some checks into your Bitcoin investment or with some top altcoins or L1's that you do have on your portfolio on which on the time that you do really make out some investment then you should really be that not peaking on the market condition to be that active. Unless if you are really that having that good control towards your emotions and having that discipline then it would really be just that fine but we know that not all
people would really be having that kind of control on which on the time that they do see prices are dropping then they do really that become that impulsive.

In my case then im not really that much in concern with my holds yet i've been accumulating Bitcoin ever since and doesnt really have any plans on spending or converting it out unless
if the price do reach out with those peak prices or the peak of bull run then i might really be that be selling it off and doesnt really need to wait for another
bull year cycle.
In crypto, human nature and tendencies make the emotional ride a roller coaster. Your advice about not looking at the portfolio regularly is especially useful for long-term investors. It eliminates emotional anguish, right? Historical Bitcoin and altcoin cycles show that holding through volatile periods and not making rash moves during market downturns often yielded positive results.

You did well to accumulate and remain calm during market volatility. Being able to sell during market peaks and bull runs while ignoring market emotions is a balanced approach. Those who take a disciplined, cyclic approach to investing, especially in Bitcoin, tend to stay calm throughout volatility, which often pays off.
3162  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I want to fulfill my mother's dream of building a house with Bitcoin. on: October 14, 2023, 02:49:42 PM
These four years I will hold my investment and also save the money earned from trading or signature campaign for four years so that after four years I can start building the house. 

You must pray for me so that I can fulfill my mother's dream.

It's good to have dreams and goals in life, without them it would be hard to endure years of saving and cutting back. Owning a house is also one of my dreams and if you can help to fulfil your mothers dream than you should definitely do so. A house is a long term investment, it's not only for your parents but eventually also going to be your house. Keep that in mind when you are building it, maybe you have a some wishes yourself for a special layout or a particular room. Now is the best time to include everything you want, because eventually you could live in it yourself. I don't know how much money you are making with trading each month, and I also don't know how much money you need to build a house in your country. Keep up saving your money and your bitcoin investment is going to help a lot, but be careful when you have a fixed price that you need bitcoin to reach in 4 years. There can always be setbacks and the price could drop again. It would be helpful to have different income sources, maybe you can also save some money from your job each month to make your savings grow faster? Good luck with your mother’s dream.

Dreams really do help us move forwards, dont they? It is very important that you see a house not just as a building, but also as a possible home and property. Diversification is very important for someone who is really into the crypto waves. Even if the predictions look good, its important not to put all your eggs (or bitcoins!) in one box.

Have you thought about what changes in property values mean for changes in cash and Bitcoin prices? To get around in both old and new economies, you need to find a balance between real assets like the house and digital assets like bitcoin and others. It is important to keep your goals in check when dealing with bitcoin, especially since it is so volatile. Chance and luck can play a role, but careful planning always wins.
3163  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's the Future of Bitcoin without the Inventor? on: October 14, 2023, 02:30:48 PM
I have been having some critical thinking lately on what the future of Bitcoin and the Blockchain technology will be. What will be the fate of Bitcoin should in case the founders of this great digital currency and assets die. It is not a wish but it is a known fact that all humans will taste the sad and irreplaceable part of this life – death.

People die and new ones are born. It becomes a smooth transition from an older developer to a younger one, just like in a company. Most banks were established by people who are no longer with us. Think of bitcoin as run by a large board of executives that don't need to be elected. These executives are in different age and as long as there are new people interested in this type of digital money, the board will continue to exist. If they decide that the concept isn't interesting, it will die the natural way that so many inventions died. Is somebody nowadays interested in developing the steam engine? Are there people upgrading the telegraph? Don't worry about it, when bitcoin's time comes you'll know. It won't happen in a day or a month.
Bitcoin, fundamentally, isnt merely being “run.” I’s being supported, enhanced, and modified by an ever-evolving community. People come and go, yes, but Bitcoin remains - bound not by a collective agreement to manage it, but by a decentralized, collective belief in its fundamental principles: decentralization and scarcity.

While banks and corporations need a structured board to operate and make decisions, Bitcoin thrives on its decentralized nature, where decisions, like implementing upgrades, are made based on consensus, not executive orders. The shifting between developers, young and old, is not just a handover of positions but a handover of belief, of ideals. Its essential, though, to understand that Bitcoin wont simply “die” due to lack of interest but will adapt, evolve, and continue to influence how we perceive and utilize money.
3164  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A neophyte is asking 4 questions (?) about bitcoin bull market on: October 14, 2023, 02:14:28 PM
The whole HODL philosophy comes from the idea of believing in Bitcoin's long-term value. Even when folks anticipate a bull market, they're looking for a positive affirmation of their belief. However, anticipation doesnt necessarily mean action; some HODL because they truly believe Bitcoin's value will rise even higher in the long run.

If the majority sells off a big chunk of their Bitcoin during a bull market, the supply on exchanges increases. Now, you see, this can cause the price to drop because of the fundamental law of supply & demand. More available supply can mean decreased demand, leading to price drops.

Though, if only a few folks sell a tiny bit, it wont significantly affect the market. The available supply doesnt change much, and so the demand stays relatively stable.

A major sell-off could potentially decrease prices, while minor sell-offs might not cause any major shakes in the market. The dance between supply & demand really determines the rhythm of the market!

Quote from: Ex-girlfriend says Sam Bankman-Fried illegally kept bitcoin price below $20,000
Source: https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/ex-girlfriend-says-sam-bankman-fried-ftx-founder-illegally-manipulated-bitcoin-price
In her testimony, Caroline Ellison made numerous bombshell criminal accusations about SBF’s time at FTX. Taking the stand in the closely-watched trail over alleged fraud by Sam Bankman-Fried and collapsed crypto exchange FTX, former Alameda CEO and Bankman-Fried’s ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison made several dramatic accusations about crimes committed by the disgraced crypto mogul and the wider team under his watch.

“She said Sam conspired with her (on) a plan to keep the bitcoin price under $20,000, literal price manipulation,” Aaron Arnold said, referring to part of the testimony in which Ellison produced a document that read “Keep selling BTC if it’s over $20k.”
only God knows what Cz is doing over there at Binance Exchange.
If CZ was doing the same thing Sam bankman fried, I guess by now, Binance would have collapsed too, lets not believe that everybody out there are bad simply due to the numerous bad people we have everywhere, there will always be some good ones amongst the bad even though in their small numbers. I understand the popular adage that states that "when one finger touches oil, it likely maybe affect all other four fingers", this is true, but we must learn not to condemn the other four together with the one that touched the oil.

One thing I personally have come to know and believe is that, nemesis will always catch up with bad people, no matter how good and long they thrive, only time is what is needed, their bad deeds will come back hunting and hurting them.

And to answer the question, one thing is certain, when a currency is still at its low levels, rest assured it can be easily manipulated, even though personally believe that bitcoin is already big enough to be immune to such manipulations, but then, we cant do away with the fact that centralized platforms like binance and the rest have indeed contributed positively to the growth of not just bitcoin, but the entire cryptocurrency market in general.
Even though CZ and Sam are going in different directions, they have both had a big effect on the crypto world. Each person has a plan, and to be honest, I don't know what would have happened if CZ had gone the way Sam did.

The part about how one sticky finger doesnt define the rest is very important, especially in a field where many people are labelled by the actions of a few. In fact, time is the best way to see things for what they really are. When it comes to currency manipulation, danger can come from any currency, no matter how much it is worth on the market. Size might act as a cushion, but it doesnt really make a wall. It is possible to make subtle moves in large-cap currencies like Bitcoin, though they are harder to do.
3166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can change lives on: October 14, 2023, 01:37:04 PM
Bitcoin is definitely acting as an important turning point in life especially when there was no job to provide family support this Bitcoin has contributed a lot to my family support. Now I get a certain amount of profit per month by trading and investing in Bitcoin and I get what I need for family support by trading and investing in Bitcoin.
So far it is not accepted in my country so I can't apply Bitcoin in my business but the amount I get from trading on Bitcoin is enough to support my family along with my studies. If I had not used or known about Bitcoin I would have lived in poverty and had no means to support myself and my family. So Bitcoin has acted as an important influencer as life changing.

If you have the trading ability and investment knowledge, you can also do the same with other assets like gold or stocks, not just bitcoin.

But I'm quite skeptical when someone says they don't have a job and rely solely on investing and trading bitcoin to support their family. You could be the first and maybe the only one to do it. I'm also quite successful with my bitcoin investments, but I still have an outside business to support my family. Bitcoin is very volatile and unpredictable, I don't think it's that easy to make money from it, I really haven't seen anyone who can survive without a job and only depend on investing and trading bitcoin.
[/quote
]Unquestionably, investing and trading in anything (be it stocks, gold, or bitcoin) requires a keen skill set and thorough understanding. But let us to think about it for a moment. Even while it would seem impossible to live entirely off of trading bitcoin, an interesting number of people do just that. Keep in mind that there are many different types of investments. Yes, the price of bitcoin fluctuates, but isnt that a trading opportunity? Dont traders frequently profit from price fluctuations?

Reading your sceptic viewpoint on relying only on Bitcoin investments and trading for a living is extremely intriguing. In fact, having numerous sources of income is wise and frequently advised by financial gurus. This includes your own outside business. Volatility is a risk and an opportunity, and its important to balance them both in order to make sustainable investments.

I've asked myself what will happen to my crypto portfolio is I lose my life but damn it's sad to think about how wasteful it could get, even if you leave it in the hands of someone they might decide to just spend it all and waste it once you passed, so I don't let this worry me, if it's my time to go then my crypto stays where it is.

It's going to be helpful still if you don't have anyone to give your private keys because you have to take the allocation off the table and it isn't coming back anyways, makes the whole Bitcoin even more scarce so do not worry much if you don't have anyone to pass your private keys unto, you are still doing every bitcoin holder a big favor.

There are so many ups and downs in this world, not everybody will have a good family, and not everyone will be good to you, it's is just a hard fact about life, so lead a good life while you are still breathing today and do try to find someone who you can trust, they don't have to be your age mate.
It can be worrying to consider that our valuable crypto assets could be lost after our passing. Have you ever considered putting in place a "dead man's switch"? Its a type of device, digital or otherwise, that starts working when you dont do something within a specific amount of time. If you dont check-in, lets say once every six months, it might send your private keys or some sort of instructions to a certain person or group.

In this manner, you might make sure that your cryptocurrency didnt simply disappear. I absolutely agree with what you said about trust. Age isnt a factor in finding that "someone"; rather, its about connection, comprehension, and most crucially, reliability. Everyone deserves to find that person, and I sincerely hope you do
3168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Still A P2P Electronic Cash System ?. on: October 14, 2023, 12:59:35 PM
We've found a classic problem, right? We've got Bitcoin: a p2p electronic cash system, yet ta-da its hoarded like the goose that lays golden eggs! Listen up: we need to distinguish between BTC's core concept and our reality.

According to the whitepaper, Bitcoin was designed to create a p2p transaction system without third parties. A beautiful concept, right? However, HODLing, investing, and speculating grew since who doesnt want a piece of this profitable crypto-pie?

How about flipping and bifurcating BTC? Imagine dedicated "transactional BTC wallets" and "investment BTC wallets." For example. people have two wallets: one for daily transactions (buying coffee, paying rent, etc.) and the other for investment and HODLing. This strategy could revive BTC's transactional utility while allowing us utilize the potential gain from bitcoin
3169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How To Accumulate Bitcoin More Effectively In Any Market Zone on: October 14, 2023, 12:41:33 PM
Every other thing with Bitcoin accumulation comes after a good source of income, if you are not financially stable, your Bitcoin accumulation will not be that effective, you will be sluggish about it because you are to also survive financially while buying Bitcoin, the best advice I can share with people is to find a good source of income first, how and when you will start buying Bitcoin comes after.

Some people get tired of accumulation after a while, maybe because it looks like the bull market isn't coming soon, a close friend is presently behaving in such a manner right now and I am the only one cheering him up to be strong, it seems most people are like this, they get tired along the way too quick.

Honestly, it's best to prepare yourself for the bear market before it even get started, make your money in the bull market and wait for the bear market, divide your money into three for three long years of possible bear market, and use those funds to DCA monthly as we gradually go through the bear season, things don't just get easy, you prepare for it.
Indeed, your views on Bitcoin accumulation and financial management throughout bull and bear markets are generally shared! First, supporting your friend during their Bitcoin accumulating scepticism is admirable; such moral support is crucial during crypto market turmoil. Division of funds and selectively DCA over possibly long bear markets shows insight and disciplined investing that many ignore.

The mental and emotional sides of investing, especially in a risky market like cryptocurrencies, must also be explored. A strong support network and ongoing knowledge-sharing sessions may help one cope with market unpredictability and psychological fatigue. Forums, discussions, and community events where people share experiences and strategies can strengthen one's determination and the crypto community's.
3170  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs the government on: October 14, 2023, 12:24:46 PM
As two sides we can say pros and cons. Something that we see as good for the common people used to be bad for the government. This means government wants control over the people, whereas bitcoin gives the freedom. As things go advanced, automatically government try the technological way of having control over the citizens. When government wasn't able to have control, it always tries to portray bad image for bitcoin and starts working on an alternate. This is what happening with majority of the governments that doesn't understand the real purpose of bitcoin and wants CBDC.
In a recent discussion I have talked about why CBDC is needed and also not needed. It's necessary evil and also a double-edged blade. Depending on how people see it this could become the thing that will prove that Bitcoin is the real deal and nothing can compare to it. Imagine people learning about how the government is manipulating them with their own creation. When they realize it they will try to find a way to get out of it. And that will be the time when Bitcoin will shine. Because no matter how much you try to keep Bitcoin down, it'll always come back up.
But as I said before, there will always be people who will have no issue about their privacy getting violated or being controlled by the government. The war continues? Or there will be a possible way for both Bitcoin and Fiat money to exist simultaneously? I think the litter option is more logical and those who wants the freedom will have it and those who don't want it they can stay slave to the government.
Isnt it interesting how you point out financial duality? CBDC's pros and cons remind us of technology, governance, and personal freedoms' continual tug and pull. But isnt innovation about this? Pushing limits, pushing standards, and making us reassess topics. CBDCs can speed transactions, save costs, and increase transparency. However, they may challenge individual liberties and government authority.

Can decentralised cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and centralised fiat currencies coexist? Both coexisting may be possible. Both have advantages and meet various requirements and tastes. Your remark about people choosing freedom or security is correct. Perhaps in the future, people can easily switch between the two domains based on their immediate and long-term demands.
3171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: October 13, 2023, 02:32:55 PM
Winning and losing can make someone return to gambling because the temptation to get more wins or to recover their losses will come. And that will make them want to keep gambling even though they have experienced loss before. That's where we have to realize that it is difficult to stop gambling, but if they have a strong desire to stop gambling, they can stop gambling on time.
It is difficult for someone who wants to stop gambling to recover completely, it takes time and that also depends on the level of gambling addiction, if it is at a lower level it might be fast but at a high level then it takes time to process it, so far I have seen people trying to stop but If you don't have a strong desire in your heart, you will definitely end up failing and not succeeding.

The suggestion is that if you are addicted, you should reduce your gambling activities until the more you reduce them, the less your desire to gamble will decrease, so this method is more effective than completely stopping gambling immediately because it will hurt your feelings too. It is difficult to cure yourself of gambling addiction, so always avoid it. This happens by gambling more wisely and understanding that the risk of losing in gambling is very real so you have to understand if you experience defeat.
First, fighting gambling addiction is difficult and heartbreaking. Fighting such an ingrained behavior requires persistence. People often fall down this dangerous slope and struggle to climb up. Yes, gradually decreasing gambling behavior may alleviate the emotional pain of abruptly stopping.

To quit gambling, one needs a strong support structure with resources, emotional support, and possibly financial help. Decreasing gambling behavior slowly sounds desirable, but isnt the risk always there? Even a little gambling might spark the underlying craving, destroying progress. How may reducing activities not spark gambling?
3172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 13, 2023, 02:16:33 PM
First, thanks for sharing your story. Gambling can damage our wallets, mental health, and careers. Gambling has high stakes, especially with hard-earned money. Our obsessive desire to recover losses distracts us from job, family, and other obligations. When we win, we often gamble again to win more. That rarely happens, leaving us in a vicious loop, as you noted.

Is the brief excitement of gambling worth the long-term stress? Im interested in everyone's stories. Have you managed to keep gambling casual or does it constantly spiral? Its tricky, right? Would like more community stories.
3173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: October 13, 2023, 01:56:31 PM
We all know that gambling is a major criminal act in the eyes of society. Moreover, we also know that gambling is not a good sign for a person, but if he gambles, he harms himself and his family. I think if a family has a gambler that is enough to destroy that family. I saw a man in my neighborhood become addicted to gambling by constantly gambling, and I heard many bad remarks against him. Moreover, there are many people who go gambling mainly for entertainment but at some point they become so addicted to gambling that they cannot quit gambling. That is why I think it is best for those gamblers to abstain from gambling, because if they continue to be addicted to gambling like this, they will eventually sell their houses along with their houses. Today gambling is one of the most addictive substances where people bet their money several times and become addicted and their life gradually deteriorates. So everyone should refrain from gambling and bet with caution. Gambling is good for those who have been gambling for a long time but are not addicted.
Gambling again? I swear, if I had a $1 for every G-word mention, I'd be rich! Anyway, more than usual. However, everyone knows a guy who squandered away his life. Your neighborhood has a "gamble-tales" poster child. Hope he's collecting celebrity royalties

As a fun hypothesis, would we have trading cards of prominent gamblers if gambling became a sport? Imagine getting the limited-edition “Neighborhood Gambler Guy” card! Despite the jokes, gambling is serious. Some get a thrill. A decline for others. The trick? Know and follow your limits. Those who can endure without addiction get a high five! Remember to play your cards wisely in life and gambling
3174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: October 13, 2023, 01:36:57 PM
~snip~

Well basically minors are like that, they are very happy with something that can give them a sensation and a pleasant response, but it must be remembered not the sensation in gambling, but simple things that can make them smile. I think for them it is very unlikely to try gambling, logically they will not know how to gamble, how the game rotation system is there, although there is a chance of winning money but I think if they only see it it is very unlikely for them to try, although the chances are quite small for them to follow what their parents do but well you better avoid gambling around your child, the fear is that when they are very curious then often ask you and behind the scenes they might be able to find information from some social media maybe.

Lastly I think logically there is no way any parent would teach gambling to their child, even though they know that everyone has different luck but adults and children are very different in their thinking, so it's very worrying. And yeah it's best that you don't gamble in front of your children, and if you can you should also quit that activity, that's all I can think of.
Its funny how children's curiosity can raise so many questions, isnt it? Children, with their infinite curiosity and pure joy, discover happiness in simple things. A bubble, cardboard box, or simple game can delight and amaze them, which is funny. You're suggesting introducing children to a sophisticated world like gambling would be confusing and dangerous, right? Since infants absorb information like sponges, one cannot overlook the prospective consequences.

What happens when a parent's harmless hobby, like playing poker with pals, fascinates their child? Isn't it a mess? Kids might be curious, ask questions, and want to act like adults. While gambling may not be a literal lesson, nuances and acts experienced by young eyes may teach them more than we realize. The answer? As you properly suggested, keeping such activities adult-only and out of sight of children may protect their innocence.
3175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 13, 2023, 01:18:34 PM
Moreover, we know that gambling cannot always make money and what happens is that we will only damage our friendship with him. We shouldn't lend him money for gambling and our relationship with friends to become bad and uncomfortable again. They also shouldn't be able to force us to give them a loan because the money is for gambling, where the outcome will be uncertain whether they can win or lose. But if the loan money is used for business, he may still get the loan.

Some people will borrow money but don't have any collateral and this often happens with our friends and they never want to pay if we collect their debt. We may have experienced this often and if he borrows again, we don't need to lend because the debt could become even bigger.

Yes, the reason why I never lend money to someone who asks for a loan for gambling is because there is never a guaranteed profit in gambling. Especially giving this debt to a close friend and then not being able to repay it if this person loses the money definitely harms the friendship. I also think it is important to give advice about this especially if a friend who is addicted to gambling makes such an offer. As I mentioned, I don't think that there will be a serious problem if a loan is given against with collateral but in case the debt is not paid it will be necessary to liquidate the collateral and this situation will also have the possibility of negatively affecting the friendship. So, I think that if the situation in question is a friendship, it doesn't matter for what purpose the loan is taken or given.

In general, we see that people who don't have the opportunity to provide collateral for the loan, they request cannot get a loan from banks and similar financial institutions. This is the reason why they are asking for a loan from us. However, in such a situation I think that whenever possible, we should avoid lending or borrowing money from our close friends especially in order not to make debt collection difficult, not to increase the debt amount and not to negatively affect the friendship relationship.
Money and friends? A slippery slope. Sometimes it seems like lending your favorite outfit to a friend and hoping for no coffee stains. When gambling is involved, the stakes rise. Literally. Lending money for a flutter? Thats like hoping a coin lands on its edge. Million-to-one shot. You understand this dance's complexity now, which is good.

What if your friend wanted to borrow money to gamble on Antarctic penguin races? Its out there, but isnt gambling about that? The wild odds? The thrill? But like you said, no joy is worth sacrificing a friendship. What if collateral is a stuffed penguin from that Antarctic adventure? Story lesson? The ultimate prize in life is keeping friendships light, entertaining, and money-free.
3176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don’t push playing more on: October 13, 2023, 01:01:39 PM
Absolutely true. When the outcomes are no longer in our favor, and we start feeling stressed, it's wise to take a break and assess the mistakes we've made. Our ultimate goal is to win, and we can't rush it. Gambling sites aren't going anywhere; we can always return to them later. What's crucial is that we are fully prepared, both mentally and emotionally. Lastly, we need to take measures to prevent addiction because that can lead to a disastrous situation. It's a serious disease that's difficult to cure.
The point is to limit your budget so we have an alarm to stop gambling, if we don't limit it, it's the same as making us lose even more, but if you think about it, why do you have to win, isn't gambling actually supposed to be enjoyed, well, even though the goal of winning is always fun, it has The goal of winning is not something that should be pursued because it will continue to make us obsessed with continuing to play to get it.

Never be obsessed with winning, enjoying gambling games is the most correct way with a healthy mindset where you should gamble just for entertainment, think of winning as a bonus that we can get when playing and losing, let's just say that we pay for every game we play. makes us feel happy, just enjoy the game and limit all budgets so we can be more relaxed about when to gamble and when to stop gambling. Don't force yourself to keep playing, there is still time tomorrow to play again and that is the right choice when your budget has run out.  Wink
Limit, limit, limit - a mantra, right? Keeping a budget is crucial whether gambling or enjoying any leisure. Setting that alert to cry "Stop!" when things get too exciting at the tables or slots is great wisdom. However, this minor pseudo-problem intrigues me: what happens when the joy of the game overshadows budgeting and strategic pauses?

You're right; winning should be the cherry on top, not the whole dessert. Keeping gambling light, pleasant, and casual makes unexpected wins delightful bonuses rather than dire needs. Suppose you lose; consider it a fun ride ticket. That simple, clean approach becomes a shield and a strong method to keep gambling in the enjoyment zone and not a sticky web where you're continually chasing that spectacular win.
3177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: October 13, 2023, 12:44:52 PM


The gambler who do gambling as the full time job,he should hold the big capital for the game.Because the continuous win is not guaranteed for the gambler,So the alternative game win also should not affect his complete game.With my strategy,if the gambler win the five of ten game in the dice will be enough for them to get away from the over all loss.Actually he will have nearly 200 dollars additional in the ten games after investing of the 1000 dollars in the gambling.Because in the end of ten games, he will have 200 as the profit.
Having a big money bag in the capital is not a guarantee to making profits in gambling and at that one should not take the availability of money as being a conviction of choosing gambling as a mean of making income and anyone having such a mentality will only lead the gambler into losing all the money trying to chase the winning since he does have a target to be met.
There is no also an assurance that you win 5 out of 10 games because the casino is also made to be an advantage over the gambler which makes winning a chance slim.
It is better to limit gambling than to use more money to gamble because there is no guarantee that we can win easily from gambling. Gambling is not a place to make money; that is what people must understand so that they do not try hard to win their gambling games. We are the ones who have to prevent losing when playing gambling and if we use a lot of money, we will see that we still have a lot of that money and we will be triggered to play more gambling games.

And by limiting gambling activities, we can also prevent more losses so that we will not use more money to gamble. Apart from that, we also don't know whether we can win five times out of ten rounds because we will only find out after we finish gambling.
Gambling restriction? That knowledge appears to permeate those phrases, especially when discussing chance and risk. Gambling is a siren. It sings a song of wealth and success, hiding the stormy seas ahead. In the gambling realm, "maybe this time" and "just one more try" constantly urge players to spin, roll, and bet.

The problem is that luck and chance can change at any time. Your smart counsel to restrict gambling is a lighthouse in stormy waters, but ships must be navigated carefully. Balance, where one may appreciate the wager without becoming enchanted, is the key, right?

Getting into gambling noises and music, huh? gambling, gambling... The raw sound of a game, like the roulette ball clink-clink-clink on the metal wheel, is mesmerizing. It's authentic, real, and immersive. What if that clinking sound made you want a drink every time? Possible water sip?

But music... might it be a double-edged sword? It motivates, stirs emotions, and occasionally makes you forget you're playing. This is tough, especially if your wallet is at stake. While playing low-volume sounds may be fun, try to stay calm and have fun.

I guess one of the reason that became a trend is Satoshi Nakamoto because of is curious about the people and have a lot of secrets like his identity, the reason of the bitcoin, is he still holding a lot of bitcoin and etc. People now become more curious also now bitcoin has become a trend and many people would like to know more of this creator. Until now there's no jury who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Tons of speculations, and pretending that they are the Real Satoshi its easy to say but its hard to believe.

No one likes secrets. You can see why many people are interested in knowing who Satoshi is. Bitcoin's quick rise to popularity led some individuals pose as the real Satoshi for fame and fortune. But their attempts to fool the public has failed, due being unable to provide proof of Satoshi's original keys. If no transactions are signed or moved from Satoshi's wallet, then all efforts will be in vain.

I don't think people will discover who the real Satoshi is, especially when there's a huge risk of revealing his identity. You can bet governments will hunt him down until he ends up in jail, or even kill him in the process. For the sake of Bitcoin, it's best to leave things as is. Eventually the world will give up as it finds other important things to focus us. Remember, we're all Satoshi. As long as BTC stays decentralized, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my opinion Smiley
I see your point regarding Satoshi, the secret-keeper. All these attempts to find Bitcoin's creator or creators; isnt it fascinating? Yes, many people have impersonated Satoshi to get fame and money. Their stories dont stick without those keys and proof.

However, if Satoshi's identity were discovered, how would Bitcoin change? Your notion about decentralization being vital resonates, no? Everyone contributes to its progress and adoption. With or without Satoshi's identity, Bitcoin's direction, destiny, is shaped by the community, not just one person.

Interesting perspective on Satoshi and the waves he may cause, right? Lets consider: Satoshi Nakamoto's mystique shrouds the crypto world. However, doesnt Satoshi's anonymity protect, or perhaps enhance, Bitcoin's democratic and decentralized spirit? The pseudo-problem is determining if anonymity promotes stability or secretly stirs up investor and enthusiast uncertainty.

As the blockchain is decentralized and public, concerns about Satoshi modifying the source code or destroying Bitcoin's value by selling his supposed stash seem unwarranted. Your admiration for Satoshi—considering them for a Nobel Prize despite their physical appearance or identity—shows appreciation and detachment.
