If Bitcoin is illegal in your country then you should talk to the people around you, but if not then you should be proud.
There are some people who doesn't even have investment or other source of income but you are earning more to provide for your family.
If you are afraid to give out wrong info about Bitcoin just give them the lay out of how you understand it and tell them that it is how you see it, and if they want more information they are free to DYOR.

In term of profit you might be correct but, land would only increase its value over time and that is for sure specially if you would develop it, unlike in Bitcoin there is a risk we couldn't be sure that it would only increase there is also a potential that the price would fall down.
For me if you want a secure investment land is much better than crypto or Bitcoin.

365  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin has never pass ATH before halving but it has always dip don't panic. on: January 26, 2024, 06:11:24 PM
Price drop before halving is like having a big market sale before an event start.
People have different point of view or opinion on it, some would panic and sell when the price drops down while other would just hold or accumulate more.
We just need to be prepared on what is going to happen in crypto before and after the halving.
366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying house rent with bitcoin is it appropriate? on: January 17, 2024, 11:12:13 PM
Glancing through the article https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-rent-agreement-argentina-landlord-tenant one would conclude adoption is striving in Argentina. Paying for a house with bitcoin sounds to me a mistake or lack of financial knowledge. Bitcoin is better than Fiat. Bitcoin increases in value and fiat faces inflation. Why then would one spend Bitcoin instead of fiat on a house rent which may expire in few years? Accommodating the Bitcoin can birth the person more money to pay his next house rent. But fiat wouldn't add any interest in the bank. Moreover the house owner will not hold the Bitcoin.


We all have different opinion, spending crypto doesn't mean that you are lacking on financial knowledge.
Some people see it as a currency while most of us see it as an investment tool, it all depends on how you see it.
To be honest I used to spend crypto like fiat before buying mobile load or paying for something.
I know that crypto or Bitcoin has a potential to grow but that doesn't mean that we couldn't use it as a currency.

It is good to have plan whenever you gamble, some of my friends told me that whenever they would go out to gamble they would only bring an exact amount so that they couldn't continue and would be force to stop gambling.
It is good to have plan and limits on how long would you gamble, how much profit would it take for you to stop, and of course the limit that you could spend on gambling.
Remember to have self control and don't let the result of your gambling affect those who are around you, I know some people blame others who are around them when they lose in gambling.
368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drug (cocaine) addicts compromises gambling potentials on: January 13, 2024, 09:13:05 PM
My question>>>
* Is gambling really to be blamed about the laundry drug addict guy who engaged in gambling in order to gain more money and afford his drugs?
Because to me, he has been a drug addict before began to gamble and he strictly gambled consciencelessly just to make profit and buy himself this assorted unhealthy pills (drugs). So, I don't see anyway of gambling being responsible for his irresponsible reputations with his mentality of what triggered him to gambling and his inabilities to control his gambling.
Gambling is not the problem here; the guy was the problem, and he ended up getting himself into two addictions at the same time. They should focus more on trying to save that soul from destroying himself.
 
Let's look at it this way, assuming there was nothing like gambling, and this guy is already in a state where if he doesn't take those drugs, he feels like he is losing it and can't get control of himself.

What do you think will stop him from doing anything possible just to be able to afford those drugs? And the things possible included selling those laundry properties, as it appears that's the only valuable thing he has in his possession. It's just a matter of time, and he will definitely sell the shop off to sponsor his drug habit.
I agree with this, it is the person not the drug or even the gambling.
It is their own action that destroyed their life, if he didn't touch or get addicted to drugs there is a chance that he wouldn't be addicted to gambling.
People could change if they really want to, and for me it is all just an excuse that they are addicted to something and couldn't get over it.
They just need strong determination to move out of their bad habit, step by step it would surely be a slow progress but if they could do it from time to time, they could surely fix their life.
369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 13, 2024, 06:43:33 PM
If she couldn't control how much money she is gambling , then yes I would be worried about it, specially if it would affect their house. (Spending money that should have been for food, bills or for their younger kids)
But if it doesn't affect the house then she could enjoy it as much as she want, she just needs to remember her limit on how much she could gamble.
370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job on: January 12, 2024, 09:23:26 PM
The only people who could make a living from gambling are the ones who owns it, not the gamblers or player.
If you want to make a living out of it then stop being the player be the owner or invest/share holder.
It is hard to make a living from gambling if you are thw player.
371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: January 12, 2024, 06:19:08 PM
I sometimes gamble a small amount during work breaks, and sometimes I feel like I don't really want to go back and just continue on playing.
But we should know our limits and priorities, don't let gambling ruin your life specially if you already have a stable job.
Always know what your priority is, your job would give you stability to provide for your family, gambling doesn't guarantee that you would always have a profit.
372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 11, 2024, 06:31:39 PM
Always remember the risk not just the profit or gains, we should always remember that if there is a chance to gain it also comes with risk.
Consider both sides, and control how much you would risk.
Learn to plan how much are you willing to risk and at what point you would stop, it doesn't really matter how much you've already won if you aren't going to take it.
It isn't consider a profit unless you decides to stop and get out already.
373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 11, 2024, 01:54:52 PM
I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.
At the virtue of getting the unbearable situations to an end, the relatives broadcasts the chronic addicted gambler at all costs of gambling boards never to give him privileges to gamble in any of the Gambling arenas anymore else they (the relatives) would sue the gambling boards owner.
This is just how recklessness could mess your life of you can't take control to gamble responsibly.

Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.
When someone ruin their name not just in gambling but also in other addiction or action as well.
It is not just them who would be branded by it, the ones who are close to them would also be accused of doing the same thing.
Worse is that others would think that those who are close to them are the ones who actually support or push the person to do it.

Use your gain responsibly, not just your wins on gambling but also on other things.
Use your money responsibly, people should learn to allocate their funds, on how much they could and would spend on things after paying and buying all the necessary bills and items.

Gambling is always fun if you have the money to lose and if you disregard the money while playing.   If you hold the money as number one I dont see how it can be fun if we are realistic and introduce the reality you cannot always win then of course you are losing money, its still fun if you arent reliant on that money.   I never play serious money due to that only winnings and money that is spare then its always a fun game imo Smiley
Lol even millionaires aiming to win in gambling so that means one thing that they are not just for fun but for the money with that I will ask , is there really fun while losing in gambling? it is not funny in any  form like me who wanted to have fun in gambling but hated when I start losing so more when I go home a complete losers , I will neve accept that  funny when we are losing.
Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning
How about those who gamble to enjoy time with their buddies of friends?
Those who only have limited time to spare and wants to gamble at the same time, they would do it with their friends for fun and sometimes even if they are losing their time spent having fun with them is more important for them, than their profit.
they may be enjoying mate , but do you really believe they are enjoying losing their money? indeed that they can pretend to be happy but in the back of their head? lol they are crying and sad .
LOL, it is different when you are enjoying the bond you don't really care about the money or the profit, it is all about the fun.

I agree. It serves as their bonding moments. Similar to drinking alcohol or eating food. You're spending money, never gain anything but the happiness you get is worth it because of the satisfaction. For people who gamble to double their money, it's not fun to have losses because they have a desire. A goal that they want to achieve. But for people who just want to have something to do during their leisure time, satisfying themselves are their priority and that is through entertainment even they spend money to fulfill it.
Exactly my point here, if you are bonding with your friends you wouldn't mind spending money to just to enjoy it, and if your friends way to have fun and enjoy time is gambling and you also want to play then all of you would just enjoy it.
Sometimes me and my friends would do it for fun, and after gambling we would then eat out the one who won would buy some extra snacks for the group.

There are times before that I would gamble when I am stress or feeling down, and on those times I would win and it would either brighten up my day or just feel like a normal thing happened to me.
I remember gambling on those times help me a lot to escape from stress or my problems even if it is just for awhile.
378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: January 05, 2024, 05:59:34 PM

Good day everyone,,, I would like to share my winning with you guys, but I am not just doing it because I won the bet, but it is because it wasn't the amount I wanted to stake that I staked.

A friend of mine collected $10 from me earlier yesterday and I wanted to use the money to gamble, but based on, he is my friend. I gave him the $10 he asked for, and the guy said he would return the $10 back ASAP after 3 hours, but he didn't and the $10 was the amount and same money I wanted to use and stake a bet (I have some coins but don't have cash and I don't want to sell any penny of my coins for any reason). But letter on, I used 1000 naira ($1) to stake the bet and I won 49,814 naira (about $50+).

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.
If you would lend out money you should expect that there is a chance that their payment could be delayed.
If you would be mad by lending money for him, then you should just explain that you also needed the money.
Don't hold it against him, if you really wants to add more to that bet you could by converting your coins as you said, but you didn't do it, so it was also on you.
379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The is always on gambling, never the individual. on: January 04, 2024, 06:25:06 PM
Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?
This is because many people see it as easy to put the blame on others than putting the blame on themselves. A similar situation is with a student who writes an exam, and when asked about the results replies saying "the lecturer failed me" instead of saying "I failed the exam" recognizing that it was due to their unpreparedness that they failed the exam. It would have been good for you to openly correct this person instead of only keeping it to yourself.
I agree with this, people tend to find something to blame in order to make their self feel better.
We could see it not just in gambling but also in other aspects of life, success, career, lifestyle.
Almost everything if they would found something or someone to blame, they would do it in order to feel like it wasn't their fault.
380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: January 04, 2024, 01:55:59 PM
I know for sure that if we take periodic account of how many times that we gamble, maybe weekly, monthly or yearly, we'll find out that the loses are far greater than the winnings, so I sometimes wonder how we can be indulging in something that we lose far more than we gain, in the name of having fun. I know that it's human nature to want to conquer, defeat, control and be the leader, yet we go into gambling knowing that the system doesn't give us a fair advantage of achieving these aims, yet we're happy to go back and likely be defeated again.

Perhaps deep down in our conscience, somewhere that we don't like to listen to, it still tells us the truth that the reason why we're going to gamble is to hopefully win money, not really to have fun.

I know that it's said that you should gamble the amount that you can afford to loose, but will you call it a true fun when you know that there's a higher probability of losing your bet?
If you're enjoying the thrill and excitement while gambling, do you still consider it as lying to yourself?
We gamble to win, but there are also people who gamble to enjoy their time and have fun or bond with their friends.
When we enter gambling we should all be aware that there is a chance that we would lose, even if you think that the chance of losing is too small don't expect to win every time.
