But one doesn't need to learn about gambling because it will have a bad effect on him. Maybe he just needs to learn about investing in his crypto. It would be better for him because he could have a chance to earn profit instead of gambling. So gambling is not the most important thing for crypto users but crypto users want to benefit from trading and investing.

How do you know that gambling will be bad for him, gambling doesn't have the same effect on everyone. For some people it'll be negative as they'll get addicted and lose all the money they have but this will only happen when they don't gamble with regulations but just doing it anyhow.

You can become a gambler and your stories changes just as investing in cryptocurency can change your story from been poor to having wealth. Everything in life depends on how you approach it besides you don't need to learn about gambling as gambling doesn't need skills.

Gambling isn't a part of cryptocurrency, the only reason gambling is very popular among cryptocurrency users is because the coins we have can't be used physically in most part of the world but it can be used online on for gambling on crypto casinos and sportsbook.

We don't know about the percentage, but even rich people probably gamble, too.
There are many reasons why people gamble, it is not only about expecting to earn money. Some people gamble for fun (entertainment purpose), some gamble to spend their spare time, and others probably gamble to win the jackpot. Middle and low class people may gamble for money, they want to try their luck to earn money. While rich people are likely to gamble for entertainment or spending spare time. So, based on these possible reasons, any level of people can have a chance to gamble. Gambling isn't for middle and low class people only, it is also for rich people as well.

If a poll is taken we'll see that more people gamble because they want to make more money, gambling takes money more than It does gives money when we look at the overall statistics because more people are losing money on a regular than those gamblers who're winning.

On the forum we also have more people gambling because they want to have money to live the richest lifestyles they're dreaming about. I haven't seen any middle class or lower class person that is gamble because he or she want to have fun or just for entertainment purposes.

But we have many rich people that still gamble because they want to make more riches and increase their wealth to the next level which means gambling to make money or not having sufficient money is more common than gambling because you want to have some fun.
3483  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The hypocrisy of the UK on Cryptocurrency on: July 23, 2023, 12:56:11 PM
Can you imagine? Banks claim to be blocking people and businesses because of the FTX collapse. How many banks have they stopped because of the ugly past of many UK banks that went insolvent?

The problem of one establishment out of many should never be a yardstick in judging others. For me, these banks are anti-crypto and their actions are high level of hypocrisy.

Banks will always used any opportunities they have to discourage people's from investing in cryptocurency because when people invest in cryptocurrency it takes money from their hands. People no longer trust banks because they're no longer leaving their money in banks.

People are now investing in cryptocurrency and the banks sees this as a threat to their business so they'll use every opportunity to attack those people doing this which is why they're closing their banks accounts. Both the banks and the government don't like cryptocurrency.

They'll protect their fellow banks when they have financial problem and look for ways to make people to keep trusting banks because it benefits their businesses but when it's cryptocurency they act like all cryptocurency are bad like the ones that collapse, it's just the nature.
3484  Economy / Speculation / Re: Be patient and you will be there soon. on: July 22, 2023, 10:42:39 PM
I was told that during in cryptocurrency investment that for we to achieve and plans for investment in cryptocurrency we most have a budget and also exercise patients in any of the investment of cryptocurrency and when we rush the investment we are going to lose and we have to be careful for the kind of investment we are going to involve ourselves in cryptocurrency, so I believe that with trust and not to be in hurry you will make a profit in long term investment of cryptocurrency depending the coin you are investing for, either bitcoin or altcoins

Those that are always in a hurry don't make big profit from investing in Bitcoin, if you want to make profits from investing in Bitcoin you have to buy when everyone is selling and hold your Bitcoin in your wallet because exchanges aren't safe to hold your Bitcoin there.

Holding of Bitcoin would give you more profits and to hold Bitcoin you need patience. First you'll need patience when buying, you don't have to hurry to buy as when you do that you'll be buying Bitcoin at a very high price. Always wait for the market to fall before you buy Bitcoin.

After buying you have to hold patiently, there will be time when you'll want to sell due to the price of Bitcoin pumping but keep holding because Bitcoin can always go higher in price because there's big demand for Bitcoin as more people enter the industry in search of profits too.
3485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Stop Gambling Even If You're Doing Great If This Happens To You on: July 22, 2023, 09:34:50 PM
Will you explain to him that you are doing great and you are not a compulsive gambler
Will just stop gambling  and be practical and get that multi million inheritance
You'll just go on with your passion and just forget the money that your father will give to you as inheritance.

Let's discuss this scenario is possible

5 years is too little to stay away from gambling, there's nothing saying I can't go back to gambling when I receive the inheritance so I will be well behaved that period and get the trust to receive the inheritance. When I get the money I can start up my own casinos for gambling.

In my casino, I'll be the house so now I have the edge over others and won't be gambling again instead I'll now be an owner of a casino and probabilities are that I'll include sports betting for sport better lovers. It doesn't matter how great I was, I'll stop gambling for this.

Does anyone has gambling as a passion, people I know mostly gamble because they're in need of money and are looking to double their money by betting. The inheritance is a big money that I'll get without working for it, I might never win such amount gambling so I'll take it.
3486  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin maximum price on: July 22, 2023, 08:55:49 PM
$1 million is a very high price, I never thought we would get to that price, let's think and see this realistically and I think the Bitcoin price is a market game that some groups continue to make to attract bidders to keep believing and investing on Bitcoin, regardless of whether it will benefit a group or not but the movement continues to occur as what has happened in the past.

Realistically nobody thought we could be at the price Bitcoin is trading today so don't doubt like how others were doubting in the past and missed the opportunity of investing in Bitcoin when it was nothing. We can get to $1 million but it won't be in this bull market happening.

If Bitcoin can trade at $200,000 by the end of the bill market or maybe it teaches $150,000 it means with we'll be lesser than 10x to get to a $1 million trading price in future bull runs. It could be in the next 3 bull market or maybe in the next 5 bull market but it'll happen one day.

The only time I don't see Bitcoin trading at $1 million is if Bitcoin dies due to too much pressure from the government but that's unlikely going to happen as Bitcoin can't crumble but will stand and fight the government until they are the ones to give up and embrace Bitcoin.
3487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: July 22, 2023, 08:19:30 PM
do anyone withdrawn successfully the winning amount and if yes what was the process, it was seamless or you need to pass a hard kyc?

I have deposited small amount and won big amount then withdraw without much challenges but that was before all casinos are now requesting for KYC. Casinos aren't as fun as they were when you're not force to pass KYC and you can gamble as much as you want.

Today just for small wins, I have to pass KYC or sometimes you have to pass the KYC before you can bet on the casinos, all this regulations are taking the fun out of gambling. No casino would want to force their players to complete KYC if they weren't been forced by the fed.

The government are trying to control everything and they're focusing more on cryptocurency and platforms that uses them like casino and sportsbook. They want people not be comfortable using them so they stop getting customer and making profits to kill the platforms.
3488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 22, 2023, 07:36:45 PM
Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?

I think we shouldn't let any popular saying affect our decision instead we should make decisions based on how were seeing the condition that we're in. You should quit if you noticed gambling isn't doing you any good as you keep losing instead of winning like others are doing.

If you're winning then you should continue gambling, you quiting earlier can help you to look for how to make money in other things instead of wasting the money gambling, you can decide to invest into cryptocurency and you get profits when the bull market comes.

Many gamblers has the mentality already and that's why they don't stop gambling when they're losing, they believe they can win meanwhile they forget that gambling isn't for everyone and it can't favor everyone as many has to be lose for the few that's winning to be paid fully.
3489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I save my brother by investing in btc now? on: July 22, 2023, 07:23:12 PM
Yes, shitcoins can do it, 25x growth is an impossible task with bitcoin these days, but shitcoins absolutely can. But high returns come with very high risk and if not riskier shitcoin investing than gambling, so this is not a good option for OP. Furthermore, even if he had more time to make that $75k, bitcoin would still not be an option. Bitcoin can offer good returns when held for long periods, but there is no guarantee that there will be only profits without risk. So the idea of investing to earn enough money to cure OP's brother is not a wise one.

I don't think it'll be wise if he invest in shitcoins, he can lose everything he has and that'll put him into depression which isn't good for his brother as he need him now than before. He shouldn't considered investment for this type of situation, what he needs is financial assistance.

He should tell his story to social media and media platforms, he could find sympathy and they help him by raising donations for him. He should keep that money and use to take care of his brother until he gets a permanent solution, we feel your pain and wish you the best.

He can buy Bitcoin worth $1000 and hold, it mightn't be big but if bitcoin gets to $100,000 or above this price the investment will increase and you can use the profit to keep taking care of your brother and family. Please update us when you find solution and I wish you the best.

Usually addicts will realize when they lose everything, for those who have a strong mentality he will get up and get out by himself but if he doesn't have a strong mentality he will definitely end his life without thinking about his future, but as a friend I still pay attention to him so he doesn't do anything that harms himself.

Not all addict realized that they're addicted, some just think they're doing what everyone else who is gambling is doing and when they have gotten to this stages, this person need help in quiting because if he continues he might take decision that he'll regret in the future.

Gamblers with strong mentality can still be broken down with addiction or realization of the lost that they have had when they get their senses back. Some gamblers has lost too much to gambling that it becomes difficult to quit because when they're paying they have hope.

They have hope that one day they can win and get back all the money they  lost to the house but if they stop Gambling it means they have given up on winning back the money they have lost. This reason is why they keep playing without realizing they're making matters worse.
3491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 22, 2023, 06:11:46 PM
So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?

Yes the percentage of rich people gambling are higher than the middle and poor class because rich people don't see gambling as a way to make money. They have investment that makes money for them so they can use money for anything they want like pleasure and fun.

Rich people don't gamble because they want to make money, we still have few of them that do it for the money then as for the lower class they do it because that's the easiest way they can get money which is why we have many addicts in the lower class and they can't stop.

Gamblers see gambling as a way to double their money and if they had better life's they won't be gambling. From my experience I gamble more when I wasn't financially strong than when I got a job and was making good salary. I started gambling just for entertainment and fun.
3492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We All Know, The halving time will be full of drama on: July 22, 2023, 06:00:53 PM
Those who are spreading FUDs during every halving are those people that's been left out because they are always being hesitant buying Bitcoin when it was still on the dump season. So instead of congratulating those people that didn't doubt Bitcoin, they are trying to brainwash them by feeding negative thoughts.

Is China and US governments left out of buying or they decided they don't want to be part of this but still spreading the FUDs. Not only those that didn't buy Bitcoin are responsible for spreading the FUDs as the federal government has choosen this period to attack Bitcoin.

The federal government knows projects including Bitcoin will always have attention during this period so any bad news concerning Bitcoin will affect the market as investors would be scared and sell their coins instead of them to accumulate in preparation for bull market.

FUDs comes and goes so we shouldn't be scared when we see people or the government trying to create fuds in the markty. They have tried it before and failed aso instead of been scared, we should be strong and not falling for their dirty stricks to scare us from buying Bitcoin.
3493  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbies can't profit from crypto without knowing how to trade. Truth or Myth? on: July 19, 2023, 07:54:23 PM
Guys, I mean what other ways can newbies benefit from crypto investment without having to be a day trader or a professional trader. Because I believe there are other ways to earn aside from trading.  

It's a myth as there are many ways to benefit from the industry without having to become a trader, trading is one of the ways newbies think they can because successful but it isn't as easy as it sounds because you'll have to go through many studying to succeed at training.

Many traders end up disappointed after their first few weeks of trading and other traders quit or don't succeed at trading because they were after the profits instead of first learning how to trade like the professionals. Trading needs discipline but many people don't have it.

You can make money by investing in new projects through the difference means like launchpads, initial exchange offering or platforms that give investors an opportunity to invest in new projects that aren't exchanges . We have some popular ones which has good reviews.
3494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What could make you get into a fight with your fellow gambler? on: July 19, 2023, 07:40:58 PM
It is not ethical for us to fight when we gamble so avoid violence that can lead to bigger problem that can be difficult to handle. It is better for us to use our intelligence to handle the matter than to fight back or be the first to start a fight.

Fighting has never resolved any conflict instead dialoguing has, and that's the best way to go about solving any problem you find yourself a part of. You should never be the first to throw a punch as that can be used against you in the court if the matter proceed to a hearing.

The only time you should be fighting is when it's in a ring and this type of fight are always regulated not like street fighting because you can lose your life or get a part of your body permanently damaged due to that fight that could have been avoided if you didn't fight.

Always use your intelligence and avoid things that you'll regret in the future like fighting because fighting doesn't show strength it's a weakness. Been successful at what you do and been respected is what shows true strength, physical strength show be for the ring.
3495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 19, 2023, 07:29:22 PM
For those doing it for fun or entertainment they mightn't find it easy to quit as well because when they get addicted they will have similar behavior like those playing for money. They won't want to quit even when they're not making profits. Addiction is very hard behavior to quit.
You have a good point as if it's already turn into addiction so it's no longer just for fun or entertainment but most with a desire to continue playing and control is no longer from that person itself, and it's very possible as you said, when you already engage and you are unable to control yourself then it will be too difficult to quit.

Yes I have seen people that started gambling just for fun and entertainment but as time went by they became addicted that they can't stop gambling even when they're not making money from gambling. They just do it to fulfill a desire in their life because of how sorrowful it is.

Some gamblers gamble because it make them escape reality. The fact is that people are passing through alot in life that if they decide to tell you, you won't blame them for the decision they're making. Bars get filled always it's because people are use drinking to ease their pains.

People use gambling as a solution to their pains, when they win that's the only happiness they get in life and always want to play more so they win and get more happiness then it becomes a habit and they keep playing which ends them getting addicted and hard to quit.
3496  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading good for beginners? on: July 19, 2023, 07:11:05 PM
Gaining in trading is only possible for experienced professionals.Trading involves a lot of different factors, but the one I fully get is that the lower your investment, the lower the risk, but the bigger your investment, the higher the risk, and vice versa.All of this is true for experts, but beginners need to learn more and more in order to succeed. In order to do this, beginners must focus and take things slowly; over time, everything will improve. The first thing beginners need to remember is that patience comes before greed.

A professional traders was once a newbie so without been a newbie and making profits when trading, no one can become a professional therefore both the newbies and professional traders can trade and make profits, profits isn't meant for only professional traders.

A newbie that wants to become a traders need to understand that trading needs discipline and without disciples he can't become a professiyon trader that can make money due to the experience he has gathered while trading, professionals also lose some trades too.

If professional traders can lose while trading that means newbies can also gain while trying therefore trading isn't just for professionals only. But as a newbie you have to be very smart and make sure you have strategies that'll make you profits to become a good trader.
3497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 19, 2023, 06:55:19 PM
A country like mine, where gambling is fully legalized the ratio of women still playing gambling in local physical is still at its minimal because of many traditional disgust that frown against this act but the intervention of online casino broke this barrier because even myself never knew women gamble a lot as I have seen several of my nephew using online gambling site to gamble although some women still gamble in the physical casino shop but they kinda of prefer gambling on online sites because of the public opinion about the feminine gender gambling.

We have to respect people's tradition, not every country has to be westernized, we're losing our core values. Yes we have to give people the right to do what they feel like doing but we should be ready for the consequences because everything will be chaotic.

Imagine the Chinese losing their tradition just because they want to be like the Americans, if a culture doesn't permit female gambling we should respect that culture and if you want to gamble you can move out of the country to another another country that permits gambling.

I don't like the fact that the western world are trying to colonized every other countries to do as they pleased meanwhile they're one of the worst place to live. We have rules and laws governing a country and they are there for a reason, we should respect them as citizens.
3498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT on: July 19, 2023, 06:39:36 PM
I do hope that people will do this because what I've mostly noticed is that they will tend to continue playing because they want to chase up losses, but again, that is really a good move if we are able to do it because you tend to relax and think about the right move. This is like if you are planning to buy something but you should wait like 3 days to know if you still want that stuff. Controlling our emotions is really difficult, but once we are able to do it, then for sure we won't be addicted to something.

Chasing losses is a wrong way to go about gambling because I haven't seen any gambler that chase his losses and because successful gambling. You have to let go of your emotions when gambling, if you lose money then consider the money gone and move on with your life.

Gambling can give you profits and also losses, you can't win everytime you play so whenever you lose, just see it as a part of the game and move on. You can try again later but never stake money immediately trying to win back you losses or you'll lose more money and go broke.

Having a gambling limit is a good way to limit yourself and it'll help you quit gambling more easily because whenever you pass your limit, it means you have to stop gambling and if you can stick to this habit, quiting won't become a problem for you due to your discipline behavior.
3499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrency comes close to bitcoin? on: July 19, 2023, 12:01:13 PM
Where could I store my assets in an emergency if there are no more bitcoins?


Before thinking about plan B, I think you should focus more on Plan A which is buying more bitcoins now while you can. Bitcoin will always be in circulation because in the future, more people will be using bitcoin as a payment option.

The OP thinks if Bitcoin cease to exist that other alternative cryptocurency will continue to exist. Without Bitcoin there'll be no cryptocurency market as everyone would had lost trust in the market. Bitcoin is the reason why the market is still functioning and very popular.

Other projects look up to becoming as successful as Bitcoin has become so if Bitcoin cease to exist, you might as well take your money out of the cryptocurency market as it will collapse heavily as tokens will be dumped. If there's an emergency store your more in stocks.

I don't think any other cryptocurency comes close to Bitcoin. It's Bitcoin or nothing else. Other altcoins can be easily manipulated and if anything was to happen to Bitcoin, whales will take that opportunity to manipulate the market and buying other coins put you at risk.
3500  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: July 19, 2023, 11:49:40 AM
Actually, I understand this problem and it usually occurs when you are emotional, losing at gambling and speaking harshly to other people to vent your emotions.
But a trait like that is like a child who can't control his emotions for some reason and I think mature thinking is needed by a gambler.
Blaming others and saying harsh words is a deviant act.

As an adult you should be able to control your angry and not be behaving like someone who isn't wise or educated. You won't find educated people fighting on the street no matter what the issue is, they will take it indoor and behavior responsible by sorting out what the issue was.

Gambling is a personal decision and if you aren't making progress you don't have to blame others for it Instead you should ask yourself why you're losing and you'll see the mistakes that you're making then correct them and you might have a turnaround of luck and win your bets.

If you can't control your emotions then don't go to traditional casinos or sports bookers instead make use of the online ones. Atleast you won't have to interact with people to make you pour your frustrations on them meanwhile they didn't do anything wrong to you.
