321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake and Bruno Mars An Example of How Gambling Addiction Can Affect Anyone on: March 20, 2024, 11:50:46 PM
I agree.

Drake is on another level and I think that this is the first time that the majority of us have heard Bruno Mars gambles like this and look on how far he went.

While Drake has a lot of associated business that can sustain his gambling needs. We don't know a lot if we're talking about Bruno Mars, maybe he's got a lot of ventures too but he's way uncontrollable if he gets to those situations that he's on a rage to gamble.
We dont actually be able to know someones condition or situation not until that those unfortunate situations or conditions been popping out into the public. Actually it doesnt matter if you are an average joe
or a famous person on which anyone could deal up with gambling and chances of winning and losing would really be just that the same or simply there would really be no comparison when it comes to this.
It is really just that this is our first time hearing out a celebrity that do get involved with gambling and ended up on having that huge debt on which this would really be the main topic on here.

There would be no exemptions and there would be no exclusions about on someone on getting addicted. The main difference on here in compared with those average gamblers is that these people are
that celebrities on which they do earn millions and they can simply be able to patch it up for some time if ever they would be having a debt in compared into those people who are playing extreme
but there's no finances that could really be able to back up with.  Grin
It exploded like a huge bomb when that news came from anywhere about Bruno Mars being addicted to gambling and has reached to $50M in debt.

But it's already cleared now that he's in no debt as the MGM released to remove everyone's thought so let this issue die on its own. However, I am sure that there will still be some attempts that's going to press him more because of this.

It's on them and I'm already good when MGM has said that he's fine and not in debt on them. And I hope that Brino Mars will be on a better state and won't have to deal with such addictions and problems.
322  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy sell BTC? on: March 20, 2024, 10:48:47 PM
Microstrategy only has about 174. 530 bitcoins at the moment
MicroStrategy bought a lot of bitcoins recent weeks and they are accumulating more bitcoins. As Michael Saylor said "The end game is who has most bitcoins win". His company is doing exactly like his vision for the end game.

From buying with own money, now they are doing this with convertible notes, two rounds already.

Your number is not correct and you can use two websites to track MicroStrategy portolio.
https://bitcointreasuries.net/entities/1
https://saylortracker.com/

They have 214,215 BTC now.
They keep on buying and their other rival in the competition of owning the most Bitcoins is BlackRock. These two are like in a head to head war on who's going to have the most of it.

While it's likely that MSTR won't really sell all of it at once but I do believe that there's one point in our lifetimes that they're going to sell bulk of it that shall send the market down.

They'll get to buyback that and take the clean cash and profit from the market. That's what I am really thinking about on how they're going to capitalize on their holdings.
323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake and Bruno Mars An Example of How Gambling Addiction Can Affect Anyone on: March 20, 2024, 09:37:36 PM
There is a difference though.  Drake can afford the addiction, what hurts is for people who can't.  Drake can lose a million and walk away.  He still has a productive life and it's obviously not effecting his lifestyle.  So what is the difference between addiction and enjoying something as a hobby so much that you continue to do it.  If someone golf's everyday do people look down on it?  Same thing here.
I agree.

324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette on: March 20, 2024, 08:30:24 PM
Lucky guy and this is not happening at all instance. I will not do this and it's crazy if that guy has a family and did that, I don't know how his family will react after losing that spin.

I've worked hard to have that savings and will be gone in less than a minute, that's going to be the craziest thing that someone can do and that's to bet his lifesavings.

really lucky because it's so rare that really happens, it's like once in a blue moon only happens, imagine? You're going to bet all your money without thinking about whether or not you're going to win. That dude was very optimistic about winning that's why he manifested it, but yeah, it's kinda scary to do that and I wouldn't do that if I am in his situation because what I have is just a savings for my future, I don't have any intention to put it all in gambling in just one single bet,
He's optimistic and just believed in himself. We're in no way going to do that if some people tries to attempt that in doing it.

We're not the type of gambler that will risk it all just to get something like this and become a content to the others. Oh, content, can be done by some others if they like to get some instant fame nowadays.

You just have to make some good story, short background revealing of what kind of gambler you are and then boom, you'll get to win a once in a life time type of bet like this story.
325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is investment a necessity or a want? on: March 20, 2024, 12:55:50 PM
It is am obvious fact there are a lot of coins coming in to the market and Bitcoin halving is so close and alot of people are also diving in to the  market, but some thing actually triggered me creating this thread which is where I got the attention from, some one very close to me has been prioritizing coins involvement other than his health care. What are your option on this?
Tell that person that wherever he is, it's the quote about health is wealth is already right. You can't enjoy your riches and wealth when you're bedridden and you can't move from here and there.

Just give him a reminder that if it's about his health and investments, it's best to invest to his physical body by taking care of it.

The rest can follow and he can enjoy things when he's healthy and that's what he has to be reminded of.

Still, incredible balls on this guy. I would be to scared to do it.
Yeah, I can say that he's on the tier 2-3 after Drake and Bruno Mars.  Cheesy
327  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't do this mistakes in trading on: March 19, 2024, 01:42:07 PM
Greed is one factor that many does a mistake. Whether they're traders or investors of meme coins or any hype tokens nowadays if they are greedy and don't take profits, they're likely to miss opportunities of profiting and will miss selling at the right time.

Actually, it doesn't have to be a right time. As long as they have already made some profit and depends on what kind of percentage you've made, then it is for sure possible for you hit your targets as long as they're achievable.

But when you have started to make such high assumptions and targets then that's going to make it hard for you to achieve them and will show how greedy you are.

True, even I have made such mistakes out of greed and people will be surprised I have lost thousands of dollars in future trading in the past just because I was not taking profit and rather waiting for more profit without SL and as a result I have learn my lesson and it's little bit difficult to manage greed unless we make a strategy which should have a process of taking profits regularly. I have overcome that with great difficulty and now aims for little profit but multiple instances of taking profit instead of waiting for huge and ending up with nothing.
In the beginning, the difficulty is there but once you have passed on for so many trades that you do and you're able to control your greed.

That's where you're doing the right thing and step by step you'll be able to see how effective you are in controlling your emotions.

Not everyone is at their best in managing greed at the start but with experience and time, everything can be learned.
328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Have Different Perception Of Gambling Operators on: March 19, 2024, 11:18:40 AM
Is that even a thing to be spending our time on? It's people's perspective on who shall they give their respect and it's also earned not asked before given. You just can't really please anyone and if you've done wrong on those people that have given you no respect contrary to the ones that you did good and gives you mad respect then it's with these operators personal affairs.

If I am an owner, if it comes to the point that I am disrespected and done me wrong physically that's where I am going to take action and also tells lies about my business, I'd do necessary filings.

But if it's just about being hated or disliked, it doesn't matter at all.
329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrencies can't surge great height without speculations. on: March 19, 2024, 09:52:41 AM
how do you think all these new projected AltCoins would survive if not being speculated and influencing the masses?
Few will survive but most of them, we don't know.

Every cycle that when there are a lot of new projects that comes in to this market. Most of them are just taking lots of cash, the devs. And when the project becomes successful, they're seeing that part where they can just stay and focuses on it.

While many of them, they're just into build and sell of those projects and let whoever takes those projects on the lead control everything.
330  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: March 19, 2024, 08:27:35 AM
I've watched a lot of those videos about the benefits of having 100 push ups a day and that doesn't include Bitcoin becoming $100k. Hehehe..

Kidding aside, there's no way that Bitcoin will ever stop moving upwards mostly after this halving. $100k is just like a stop over and then it's going to head next to another ATH that we're all waiting for.

Alright satoshi, I'll do my part and it does makes sense that we should remain healthy so that we can enjoy the next ATH.
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 18, 2024, 09:22:02 PM
It's not that Doncic needs Kyrie but the Dallas needs a player like Kyrie, or at least a star player like Doncic that could help carry the load. About a big man problem that you are talking, they already got one, and it was Gafford who have been playing impressive basketball ever since he was traded to the Dallas. I think they are very much ready for the playoffs, so let's see how they'll perform this time. I have a feeling that Dallas will end up at least in the top 6.
I agree, Mavs is in good shape having Doncic and Kyrie. There are teams that has a lot of superstars but they can't make use of them in their maximum.

I like this roster much when it's not just all about Luka or Kyrie but they seem to be a balance roster for me. I don't feel looking at those teams with a bunch of superstars as they've got ego problems.

And most of them have ended not with a good one in the playoffs.
332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The impact of Bitcoin ETF on Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market! on: March 18, 2024, 07:14:58 PM
It has definitely brought in more money as those who were skeptical about Bitcoin ended up investing into it and it was one more step towards being mainstream but however these are only short term impact and if you ask me what would be the long term impact I would say long term impact won't be much as there may be some other similar adoption in the future which may have more impact. But so far this Bitcoin ETF has helped its price movement in a positive way.
They're relying more with the institutions than of those that are longer in the market. They believe that they should be the trendsetter and that's why when the ETFs for Bitcoin spot has been approved. That had given them the signal.

While value wise, we saw the effect of it for Bitcoin and that has also helped to gain trust. But they need to understand that they're not directly investing to Bitcoin.

They can do that to their own but instead, they're allowing these institutions to do it for them.
333  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which narrative does a project have to adopt to gain your attention now? on: March 18, 2024, 05:37:15 PM
Three of the trending narratives in crypto atm are Gaming, AI and DePIN. All have gained massive popularity over the past year or so. I don't have precise stats to prove, but I'd say gaming still remains the biggest, with AI coming in close second.

So far we are yet to see much money flowing into DePIN. But there has certainly been a fair bit of interest in it. I'm curious about which you would opt for if you had to pick between a project in one of each of the three narratives above.
What's DePin? or you mean DeFi?

Gaming tokens and AIs are no longer as big as you're considering them to be. Although they're not yet past their prime and there are still some attentions given to them by their own communities.

But it doesn't mean that they're going to have a good future. This market is still all about being profitable and regardless of what narrative or type of project you are looking at, if you know that you can make some money from it, I think that's what makes sense on this bull run.
334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it on: March 18, 2024, 03:33:16 PM
Yeah, it's best to gamble with your most convenient time so that you'd be able to enjoy and taste every cent that you're spending as you do it. But if money isn't a problem to you and you just want to spend sometime gambling quickly then that's you.

Unlike us, we have to gamble in such a comfortable time so that we have the time to think and then we can't just ignore to have fun because that's the sense of gambling for the majority of us.

We gamble for some profits but mostly, to have fun.
Choosing the most convenient and enjoyable time to engage in the activity is a wise act of gamblers. Indeed, the experience of gambling can vary greatly depending on factors such as timing, mood, and personal circumstances. Gambling serves as a form of entertainment and relaxation that provides an opportunity to unwind and enjoy some leisure time. Selecting a time when they feel most comfortable and relaxed can fully immerse themselves in the experience and savor every moment of it.

Taking the time to gamble when you feel mentally prepared and able to think clearly can enhance the enjoyment of the activity. Being able to make rational decisions and fully engage with the game can contribute to a more positive and fulfilling gambling experience. Some may prefer to gamble quickly or impulsively, and others may derive greater satisfaction from taking their time and savoring the experience. The choice of when and how to gamble is a personal one, and what matters most is that individuals approach the activity with mindfulness and moderation, ensuring that it remains a source of enjoyment rather than a source of stress or hardship.
Those that prefer to gamble quickly, they are the ones that have not that much time like OP has said. They are busy people but still want to jive in to gambling because they want to still do their thing that's related to their bets.

It can't be stopped but soon they will realize that when they've been hitting their losing streaks, that's how they're going to change their thoughts about gambling quickly.

They'll start to take their time and for them to get the most out of their money and time. No one has to rush when they're gambling unless you've been given some challenge that has pocket and time limit.

What comments are you saying that you have seen? It is easier to understand it like this.

Bitcoin = Bitcoin

Not Bitcoin = Altcoins, memecoins, shitcoins, AI coins, etc.

There is no need to be confused a lot with these classifications. Well, this is my own understanding about the subject that you have brought and that if the matter is just all about gains. No argument needed if some of the alts have gained a lot than Bitcoin but if it is abput stability and gains too, Bitcoin hands down.
337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it on: March 17, 2024, 10:53:51 PM
Don't gamble when you are going to do it quickly because you're just doing it the wrong way. If you lose, your money is gone quickly and you don't get to enjoy it.

That's why your experience is true that if you don't have free time, it's best not to gamble and don't spend your money that way because you're totally losing everything rapidly with that.

As you gamble, make sure that you put that much time on it so that you are not going to rush with decisions and you can think properly with your bets in any kind of games that you play.
Profits don’t happen in a rush, as well as gambling is. You still have to allocate a bigger time in gambling so you can also analyze your bets before placing it and as well as enjoying your game like you’re having pleasure and fun. And this won’t be realized if you just gamble quickly wherein your mind and body is already exhausted from your day job, that will most likely result a negative outcome when gambling.

Gamble only when you have a convenient time for it. And when you feel you’ll get positive vibes that you’ll be lucky in your bets. That way, even if you don’t meet your expectations, at least you will still have a bigger time to relax right after you lose without being pressured that you’ll still have to wake up early and get to work.

Like we all know that gambling when we are very busy it's bad and can lead to loses. When you gamble during your work time it shows that you are not serious with your work and it's also shows that guy are gradually becoming addicted to gambling.
It's make no sense when you keep your job aside and concentrate on gamble. As I know, gamble can not provide meal on your table, so when you want to gamble makes sure to gamble on your free time and still gamble with money that you can afford no lose, this means that even when you lose the money you won't be affected by it.
Yeah, those kind of situations really shows on how terrible you are as a gambler. Sorry for the word but it's a fact that when you're gambling in your workplace, it's a different thing as gambling with lesser time but you're not a smartass doing that. You're using your company's time to do your things and not to allocate it to gambling.

And it can also lead you in changing your attitude because when we gamble and we're on a losing streak, like what we all know that we're on a bad mood being in that state.

So, the same bad state and mood when we gamble with less time because it can lead to losses and it's also going to affect our day and other things that we have to do for that day.

Credentials and as you've said, fake fame and wanting to proclaim that he's the father of creation of Bitcoin which is just an illusion of him.

Why? Is my question to him and to anyone who tries to impersonate anyone. Is that worth doing for short term gain and fame. The price of his shit coin is now taking a deep down intervention due to his greed and his community is suffering.
Yeah, I think so that it's worth it to him with that short term fame that he did on his own. And that there's the intention as planned all along with the launch of his forked shtcoin.

There was a time when his community would come up and bash everyone as they believed him to Satoshi. Imagine how those retards are feeling after hearing he is not. He was trying to be a legend and now he became a shit.
That's okay, we all know the truth.

And if they've been doing that for so long, it's crazy to think that they've been following him blindly without having that common sense that it's obvious he's not satoshi by any means.
