There are medicine that helps you though. Not necessarily helpful in the long run imo, but it does help you control your mental health in the short term, at the very least, enough to help you from being affected too much by the stuff you're worried about. Heck, even doctors that specialize in psychological health would still probably recommend some medicine in certain situations.

Well at the point that someone actually lost all of their money due to gambling, it already sends the wrong signals, both for others and for the person in talk themselves. They need professional help, yes, but first is that they really need to face the situation face first since they wouldn't actually ask for help if they don't do so.

I honestly would stay away from Doge tbh. it's just a coin with a foundation built from literally a man's tweet. Even if we do consider the community trying to actively support it, it's actually, on the other hand, the community wanting to devour each other to profit. You could profit for a bit I suppose when coinbase lists it on their exchange, but that's it. I hardly doubt it'd even have that much of a long-term effect.  Being listed on coinbase isn't such a monumental achievement that Doge would suddenly have that tag of being a priceless coin because of it after all.

In the end, it's still up to you ngl. The end story is that Doge may go up with the coinbase news, but it'll go down immediately if it actually went up. It wouldn't go down though, so you can try it out and just set up a stop loss so you can avoid losses.

So price till end of the year? Or am I reading something wrong? I'd reckon there wouldn't be much news to garner, maybe a bit of a rise up after maybe 3, 4 months then it just moves straight. Wouldn't go below 30k though, unless some big drastic news comes out that negatively influence not just those beginner investors, but also those long-time investors that would make them believe Bitcoin lost its value. Drops right now would probably only happen due to FUD, since I highly doubt correction would still hit the market harder than it currently has right now.

Not really one to nitpick on it tbh. I don't actually mind seeing royal symbols, heck I'm more used to them since it's been used by almost all kinds of slots since, well, forever. Can't really say that it's a lazy solution but rather the market has just adjusted to seeing it so much, that it's almost quite natural to see it. To the point that any complaints about it are almost non-existent since it's already a "natural". Though I would appreciate something new, it isn't really a necessary change.

Definitely an interesting sport, but I'm more used to watching them climb those man-made ones, the ones with handles clogged together to let the climber go up. Idk what it's called but it was something like that. Me watching them climb a real mountain kinda scares the f out of me, and hardly doubt it would actually be officialized since there's a LOT of unknown factors in the wild that could influence not only the competition, but also their lives.

But for betting? Maybe not. It's close to purely physical ability after all. Mental capacity comes in, but tactics and whatnot aren't really involved, it's more related to their capability to stay calm and continue climbing.

I don't think it's gonna happen again. It was already used once, hardly doubt the market would accept it again as a reason. It may rise, but only by a bit, I suppose. But honestly, the BTC market could live on its own without the influence of Elon. And there's honestly little chance of it happening, otherwise, he'd most likely be considered as pretty inefficient in making decisions or whatnot, that is unless he makes another excuse just like how he used BTC mining costs as a reason to pull BTC out.

Hmm I guess the better term here would be economy? or economic power? Money IS merely a medium imo, whether we are using multiple types of currency for different countries or one global currency, it's still a medium nonetheless. Countries compete with each other over how their products are developed, how it is used by consumers and whatnot, which makes them develop more and grow more, to outgrow their competitors. Pretty much development begets development, it's simply a never-ending cycle.

Did a bit of research and it seems like any dispute about the user and the casino is outside the jurisdiction of Curacao. It's not that it's ignored, but rather it's just straight up outside of their decision making, they just give you a license and talk about the money, but that's it.

You even have to go straight up to the higher-ups just to talk about it, kind of a pain in the ass so might as well just go for other casinos tbh. Plus, I don't think local authorities would even care, even if their citizens are scammed. The license only operates on countries that allows gambling and most scams are pretty much the own of ones self. Ofc, if it were to grow into a big case, then that's a different issue.

We shouldn't make anything other than entertainment be the reason for us to gamble. Using anything other than entertainment would inevitably lead you to a big loss, since you certainly wouldn't think twice in trying to earn money by investing more, instead of thinking it's for fun where the money entering in your sessions is controlled. Especially for those with poor living conditions, heck, even middle-level families shouldn't even think of trying to enter gambling as a way to earn money. It is, in the end, just a way for us to have fun, nothing more, nothing else.

Best news here is that we can finally make Bitcoin news stay away from China, I can finally stop seeing China and Bitcoin both in the same sentence for now. Hopefully, it's gonna last though. I do hope that it doesn't hit the mining industry that bad (hardly doubt it, but hey who knows), and that China doesn't suddenly make a huge 360 about them banning Bitcoin.

A drop is quite natural, heck we experience drops every day even without any china news, and it still goes back up in a matter of hours or days. It's quite natural. Just seeing that it didn't drop by that much goes to show how much of a minimal influence the news actually had.

Hey, that's how they want things to go. Not like they'd give a damn on how you see their FUD, if it makes the market move, then they'd do it. That's p much it. Yes, the initial FUD is over, and together with the correction was the one that brought BTC back to below $35k or so, and that'd be pretty much it. Any FUD news now would just have some kind of low influence in the market since it is trying to stabilize itself at it's the current level. Highly doubt people would also panic sell again after it calmed down already.

Well, I personally hope it would. There's still a lot of stuff that kind of prevents it from developing that way, but there are also developments being made to make it a lot easier to adopt if it does ever start to happen. The current progress seems to be more like the development progress of Bitcoin as well as letting its name out in the world, and its adoption as a payment solution would only happen after maybe a few more decades. Just its high volatility is enough to keep most merchants away from it after all, and it'd only die down once the hype is out and the released supply has pretty much maxed out.

Just don't open any suspicious links tbh. It's rather easy to see if one is actually suspicious, especially if it came from your email. How to determine? Well if you never visited the site then that should be suspicious point #1 (if it came from your email). Point #2 is the name. If you were sure on visiting a site, and just found it on an article somewhere, check the link. It may be possible it's a fake site, so looking for multiple sources of the link should prove to be quite helpful.

Though tbh the easiest solution here is just to block everything, except for the gambling site's main email. Should be easy to filter.

Signature campaigns, online researchers that ask me to answer their questionnaires, as well as freelancing. Those 3 take up the bulk of my external revenue. Don't exactly have a job sadly but those 3 are pretty much enough for me for now. I want to try streaming online but it takes way too much time to actually produce results, so I'm trying to see whether if my uploads could actually boost me enough even though it may take a longer time. I'm also DCA'ing every month into BTC, nothing that hurts my wallet too much but am still hoping it does get bigger in the long run.

Well in the realms of actually considering learning about trading, then yes, it doesn't help much. It does, however, let you learn how the trading site works, as well as some simple ideas on what you can actually see on charts. Certainly doesn't help you in actually learning when BTC goes up or when it goes down, but it does help you from suddenly making a mistake by not knowing what a certain thing does.
To make an analogy on what Ratimov said, it's like comparing high school to college, or college to the workforce. In my case, it was the latter, when I entered college I basically threw away everything I got from high school and started from scratch simply because there was a stark difference between how HS hit me and how college hit me. And just like other cases, transitioning from college to the workforce isn't exactly an easy experience, heck some people can go straight to the workforce (which is imo, much ideal especially now with how you can learn everything by yourself).

Not all price decrease equates to dumping. The current price drop right now stemmed from price correction instead of dumping imo. Yes, there were some that sold their coins, but it isn't the biggest factor that contributed to it. The past price of around $50k or so was the result of hype, one that lasted for quite a few months and has a pretty high chance of going down to lover levels to regulate itself, and that's what correction is. There was a chance for it to stay and regulate itself there, but it's a very low one.

Together with other factors such as the Elon news, China news, and other FUD news, those are primarily the main reasons why BTC prices dropped.

I'd rather not. It's way too big, many, large, pick your synonym since my knowledge is quite small heh. Anyhow, if I were to look for something specific, then I just find it specifically, I don't skim nor read the t&c if I'm not actually looking for something. I expect the casino to have the capability to include whatever warnings and advice that their system uses in their specific parts, like as you said, welcome bonus rules. Place it there, where it's blatantly obvious.

Now if they don't, and I get caught, well I'd just leave straight up. Simply means that the casino isn't really quite welcoming imo. they're fair maybe, but they failed to accommodate to me as a customer imo.

Well, yea, the limits that were set do inhibit the capability of such games to showcase their full potential, but hey, nothing we can do about that. It is a dangerous sport so to speak, so rules like that to ensure safety of all players are naturally guaranteed. If it was possible to somehow create a space where everyone is of equal mass weight strength etc, while being able to ignore the possibility of death, now these kinds of sports would surely rise to fame. I guess it's just waiting for its time to rise as a popular sport.

Yea I think this should sum it up ngl. I mean no offense to those that want to, but realistically speaking, using gambling as a method to actually make a living means you need to have an immense amount of LUCK, something that can't really be manipulated unlike skills in let's say, sports, eSports, studies, etc.
Most careers don't tbh. Though if we do compare it to other careers, their basis of actually succeeding is different. As I said earlier, gambling relies on luck, and other careers (most of them) rely on both skill and luck (though luck is mostly about creating connections and not really related to how you are able to present yourself in your career)

Well, a license can easily be bought, so I don't think it means that the owner is serious with his business automatically when he buys a license. More like he's prepared to either scam the hell out of his customers or start-up his casino business. Also, I don't think just anyone can claim they have a Curacao license, casino sites have the logo of Curacao that automatically directs you to the license that has the details for the license of that casino, which pretty much proves the site owns that license.
