Indeed. It still depends on the gambler itself because being lonely or alone are just few reasons for a person to play when they're looking for something to do. Gambling is an option to entertain ourselves or to kill time but it doesn't mean we're prone to become addicted because it still depends on how you gamble.

Even those who gamble often can't automatically classified as addicted. Because if you can still limit yourself regardless of how often you play then that means you are still in control. Those gamblers who became addicted after playing (regardless of their reason for doing so) don't have discipline. Because let's say you're just lonely that's why you play, it's not a reason to justify your action since it's your choice to not play in moderation.

That's how it should be. Prioritize investing in Bitcoin first, and try diversifying by investing in established altcoins. Then you can add coins or tokens of your choice that are not established yet or much risky compared to established coins yet there's a possibility to gain huge (digging deeper is necessary here).

It is crucial that you have a knowledge about crypto in general to have a better understanding and not just blindly investing just because of others advice or you watched a random videos suggesting to invest in a particular coin. Bitcoin and ETH are worthy coins to hold so prioritize these coins before anything else.

Since you know the risk of investing in Bitcoin and the possibility that it might go down unexpectedly, I think you already prepared yourself for the worse that can happen. That's good because you are aware of what you're getting into, but still determine to invest despite of the risk. Well, for me it's a good decision to invest in Bitcoin rather than keeping it in Bank due to the low interest.

However, we know it's a roller coaster ride when you engage yourself in Bitcoin that's why an investor must need a lot of patience and firm to hold for long term in order to get a positive result.

Nice that you win. But if we lend our money, don't expect the borrower to pay it on time. In my experience that's rare because they always ask for extension. So what i'm trying to say is, don't blame the person who borrowed your money just because you originally planned to use it for gambling.

What if he paid and you stake the money, but you didn't win? You are lucky this time but if the result is not what you expected it to be, I bet you won't feel good that you stake the $10 (if ever he managed to pay on time).

He opted to finish the game but unfortunately it didn't go as planned so he got nothing in the end. Sometimes we're in a situation wherein we have to choose, I don't think it's because of greed, more on the courage to finish what you have started regardless of the result.

It seems op didn't regret his decision and in fact willing to take a risk again if same situation happened (based on op's update). Anyway, there are gamblers who will be wise to cashout already since it's a sure money. But there are few who have a guts to play through. So it depends for every gamblers.

I agree. It depends on the understanding of the people that are seeing the parade. Because if they already have experience or idea about this particular slot, this parade can influence them to not let themselves gamble without control or at least be aware of the risk of becoming addicted.

However, the curiosity of people can also lead to try this game so this parade is not sufficient if they really want to warn their people about gambling. There should be a seminar where the leaders can clearly explain the positive and negative effect plus the worst that can happen of a gambler who don't have discipline.

Yes meron namang ibang alternative na pwede na gamitin kaya wag tayo masyado mag worry. Pero syempre iba pa rin talaga ang Binance dahil ito ang most commonly use ng mga pinoy na exchange lalo na yung mga nagba buy at sell sa p2p.

Sa tingin ko naman hindi pa ito final kasi pwede pang sundin ng Binance kung anuman ang kailangan nilang i comply kung talagang gusto nilang makapagpatuloy mag operate (na legal) dito sa atin. May ilang buwan pa naman so let's see kung ano magiging resulta.

This is what's going to happen if you didn't control yourself when playing. At first, it's entertaining and fun but if you became obsessed to profit you'll likely do the things that a gambler should not do like borrowing money. It's really true that regret is always in the end and you'll only realize the mistakes you did after experiencing the worst. It's a lesson learned and a reminder for gamblers to not do the same mistakes. Always gamble in moderation using your own money.

As a gambler? I don't think this can be called a career or a profession where a person can earn consistently. Unless you're not a gambler but a casino owner or one of the investor who have a shared profit from the casino's revenue.

Earning solely through playing is not profitable due to the house edge that can make the player lose regardless of how skillful or knowledgeable a gamblers are. Therefore, gambling should not be treated as a main source of income or a profession because it's not a reliable way to earn money for a living.

I can relate to this. I'm really tempted to gamble everytime I see a player won a huge amount from playing the specific game. Usually on slot, a small bet who managed to hit a high multiplier, I felt motivated that what if it also happened to me? It's understandable to become attracted but it's not right to gamble just because you have this goal of winning the same amount. It's not a healthy way. Therefore when there's a game that attracts me, I just try it without any expectation. Anyway, I already tried this duel arena game after watching videos on how it works. It's fun but was not lucky to win from the other player. Maybe I'll try again some other time.

When you see a streamer winning huge, it's not impossible that it can also happen to you. However, the difference is they're using a decent bankroll and often sponsored by the casinos that they're promoting. Not their own money so placing bet is like they're just having fun since they have nothing to lose. Their goal is to promote a certain game of the casino and attract the gamblers.

I just told them to not easily believe these streamers. If you want to try the game then don't have high hopes and always use a money that you can live without. It's tiring to hear but that's the fact that they must know before playing.

I also think 1xbit is busy outside to spread awareness about their casino. Before, they are so active promoting here with every event happening on their site, but now yes they are quiet. Well, isn't it better? If there's no exposure about 1xbit then no gamblers will be attracted to play because of their promotion. Thus, it's a good thing if they became less interested on this forum, since majority of users are already aware of their casino's reputation.

I would love to have a shirt with a Bitcoin logo to wear in public. It can attract people and and a little way for us to spread awareness about the existence of Bitcoin. However, for security I will not disclose that I have a Bitcoin holdings because we'll never know what others might think. So it's better to be safe than facing the consequences of flexing my Bitcoin to others.

Because if the person is interested, he/she will do a research to find more information.

I already take a risk years ago for inventing a job (building my own business). I started from scratch, had a concrete plan on how we can make this possible. It's not easy and you have to be prepared especially financially. Good thing even there's so many competitors we are able to stand still because our business is already established and we gained loyal customers.

However, despite this, I am not contented and want to maximize my sources to earn that's why even having a business of my own, I chose to be employed (lots of benefits). There's an advantage if you choose both. But of course much better if you are the boss of the job that you invented.

Nice to hear such story and timing for the current season. Good thing you're able to recover your funds from your forgotten account.

This is a bit different because it's not forgotten, instead, I lost my private key of MEW due to negligence where I have a decent holding of tokens and ETH few years back (this is during the hype of ICOs IEO). I already lose hope searching and gave up. After moving on (it took months), unexpectedly I found my keys written on a piece of paper with my other important documents. You can imagine how happy I am during that time.

Investing in meme coins are quite risky. Because unlike established coins, meme has no real use case and just relying on hype. If the particular meme is popular and has many investors, people who are looking for quick profit are tempted to also join the ride.

Moreover it's not good for long term because you'll never know if it still has a value after few weeks or even months after buying it. If you're interested then go for Doge or Shiba and not the ones who just launched recently with still a cheap price. But be aware of the risk and always apply the basic rule to only invest the amount that you can live without.

It's normal to have worries when you invest your money. But what you think is the wise decision at this time that can give you peace of mind? Because you're the only one who can decide for yourself.

Majority of people here are a Bitcoin investors, quite obvious what would be their advice. Anyway, ask yourself if is it good to sell already (since you're already in profit for buying at $25k) or keep holding? What do you prefer? Keep in mind that when you deposit your money in bank, the interest is too low that you can't even feel it.

Yes. Hindi sya related. Kahit anong exchange ay pwede daw gamitin. Popular kasi ang Binance kaya siguro eto ang common na ginagamit.

Exactly. Typical na style na pang i-scam. Sa dami ng mga scam na nagkalat ngayon dapat maingat na ang mga tao sa paglabas ng pera. Bago ako mapasok sa crypto ang dami ko ng experience na maloko dahil na rin sa pag-aakalang merong easy money. May maganda namang naidulot dahil dyan ako natuto.

Anyway, bakit kaya ina allow ni Paypal ang ganitong transaction (exchange), hindi ba ito labag sa kanilang ToS?

If I were in your position I can't follow her request. Because I won't let that through me, there's an old lady who will gamble just because of the thought that she can make money out of it. Her main reason is not to have fun and kill time, but to treat gambling as her way to earn an extra income. If that's even possible then probably many of us are already treating gambling as a side hustle, unfortunately that's not the case since gambling is a game of luck.

Thus, much better to explain to her your position and if she insist, then she can search online for the informations that she want to know about gambling (even the games that are easy to play). Because it does not feel good to see someone becoming hooked in gambling negatively and you're the one responsible on why she engaged herself in gambling.

It is now recommended to comply on the identity verification before playing. So you don't have to worry about this when the time comes that you need to withdraw a decent amount as your profit for playing. As I have said before, KYC is now common for centralized casinos since they're regulated. Therefore if you don't want to undergo KYC, then there's always an option to stay away and find a decentralized casinos wherein you can gamble anonymously.
