381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your parent disinherit you eventhough you have not proven to be chronic gambler on: November 15, 2023, 02:29:59 AM
What's your take on this and what do your country's laws say about this?

I believe this is tricky since a parents will not accuse you of being a chronic gambler if they didn’t saw their child gambling regularly. A simple proof that you are involved in gambling can be used against the court to backup their claim of disinheriting you.

Probing that you are not chronic gambler while you are involved on gambling is very to do especially if you are just fighting for money that is not originally yours. The parents have the right to decide who will receive the money. But I doubt this regular scenario in real life since you will obviously temporarily stop gambling if your parents gives you an ultimatum about inheritance. I can wait long time if we are talking about big inheritance money here.
For someone's parent to go as far as disinheriting their child from their wealth citing that the said child is a chronic gambler, I think they have tried their best to make sure the child in question leaves gambling but couldn't succeed. A lot of chronic gamblers are very good in using whatever that's in their possession to gamble and knowing fully well that their child will definitely gamble with which part of the wealth that's willed to him, they'll rather chose to will them to their responsible children who would not use the wealth for something that's not useful.
To be honest, this is a little unfair, but there is also something good in parents worrying about their children with a slight threat by revoking inheritance rights so that their children stop gambling because parents may be worried that the inheritance will be used for gambling, even though their children have not yet reached the stage of being chronic gamblers, as parents they will definitely still judge if they gamble is a bad act.
If I were his child, perhaps I would provide clarity and discuss it amicably and prove that the gambling activities I carried out would not cause problems or even if they did cause problems, assets that previously belonged to me could be withdrawn or granted to parties need.

In my own country there doesn't seem to be any law that regulates inheritance rights regarding the issue of committing disgraceful acts like the OP is talking about, so I think inheritance rights are still a private family matter, not a state matter.

I think the gambler is complacent that someone will provide for him even if he loses all of his money into gambling since his parents are rich. As for the parents noticing that their child has the habit of gambling that might affect their lifestyle so in the long term, once he inherited his family's wealth, for sure the parents might think that they would use that wealth for gambling that they provided for your future, so I think it is normal for your parents to take precautions with your actions, cause wealth can be drained in just seconds.

With that thinking, you would really need to prove that you are not addicted to gambling, like giving them proof of your cash out and cash in.  Some gamblers, really think of gambling as their own way of investing money, not only that they would seek thrill and fun since they are already rich, but to make more money in means of way of gambling.

That season has given us the wild ride, both positive and negative and that has given the best and worst on this market and also from the world. The best is like when the exposé of those real scammers in the community that has taken sums of money from the innocent users and swindled everyone, like was successfully made us a fool that they're the angels of the market. But lo and behold, they're the real devils that have planned it all along. And going with the real world incidents, it's like an actual reset for the majority but what I don't like from this scene is that the rich became richer.   Undecided
That was really a terrible one. A lot of of new projects were hyped that time that made us really excited to invest on the high potential ones but only to find out that those development teams suddenly shut down those projects and disappear in the market. Lucky are those who were never tempted to risk their money but a lot of those who have lost their money in an instant.

This incident had made me realized that no matter how you do research on the project, that is still not enough guarantee that we will never get scammed. Scammers have become smarter and they really make sure to attract the people first until they take advantage of the investors money and left the market  taking the investors assets.

Also during the pandemic, all the people around the world when COVID-19 started were all really staying at home and were not allowed to go out, and all the establishments were also closed, so the only opportunity for people would be online while they were at home. They were participating to get profit here in the cryptocurrency business.

But sadly to say, there are also many crypto project scams that have come out, which some people thought were legitimate and would take time, so most of the projects only lasted for weeks.

That is actually true, due to the pandemic many people were forced to work online, so they have the time to explore the internet and then some find out crypto industry and learn about it. Back then P2P earning games were popular, and many investors invested in them cause they gave a lot of people a profit, you could literally see it on the news that they had bought a house by just playing. I think that's one of the reasons why some of the scammers literally step up on their game, cause there's a lot of hype and popularity in the crypto such as NFT so they would do a lot of things just to scam people. But despite those issues, we can't deny that those years were actually profitable years (based on my experience) cause there were a lot of options to earn back then not only by trading and investing. Still, we know that it won't last due to scammers so it won't be a long term.
383  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not all educated are educated. on: November 15, 2023, 01:33:26 AM
Lol, what haven’t we heard? They’ve called it a scam just to shut it up, they’ve said it’s used for money laundering and many other illegal activities. I one time saw a thread on this forum that spoke about how people see Bitcoin as negative because someone was kidnapped and the ransom was required in Bitcoin (probably so it can’t be traced? Idc). Bitcoin is only but a currency the difference is the respect of privacy, but they want to shoot it down with so many excuses.

I know right, Bitcoin is just a tool for convenience that can be used to have transactions without revealing your identity globally. Of course, almost everything nowadays can be used for illegal activities, we can even say that it could apply to banks like money laundering as well as some transactions, they just don't ban it due to they have the taxes, they have the power to control and manipulate, etc.  They have a lot of things to find in Bitcoin just to ban it cause for sure they don't benefit from them, I really remember the time in my country when they would like to put taxes on any transaction in the crypto industry since they seen people having a lot of money without the government being involved, so they announced that they put taxes but eventually they failed to cause its decentralized system.
384  Economy / Economics / Re: Will people ever get tired of trading bitcoin? on: November 13, 2023, 01:20:21 AM
Depend on result or achievement from trading about tired or not some people in trading bitcoin, actually if consistent earn profit exactly with short term trading they will excited and never get tired with trading because have been their passive income. I don't sure with trader in loss position and always get lower price after investing in bitcoin, have waiting one month until one year but not have good result seems they will tired and frustrated with trading bitcoin. Not all loss trader will face tired depend on mentality, if some one have experienced with other investment kinds and ever got loss position they will not tired or frustrated when trading in bitcoin although their position not earn profitable yet.

I have both position now, loss and earn profit with bitcoin trading but have been my passion never got tired with trading bitcoin forever to be my passive income.

However, if you are in a consistent loss, and with no chances of profiting, I might say you may get tired with trading at the end of the day. This is the reason why trading is not for everyone, but trading is only for those who have stable emotions and who knows how to trade and even if it end up losing but still capable to accept losses easily. Unlike those who only trade just because of greed, when they start losing frequently, later on they will decide to quit trading for good.

Bitcoin trading is risky yet the most profitable way to trade. But it’s not a guarantee that people who decide to trade with bitcoin will never get tired in the long run. Whether you’re a pro or not, trading can be a lot tiring most especially if we are seeing the results of our trades not working in accordance with our plan.

It would literally depend on the person if he/she would take it negatively cause some people would learn from their mistakes such as a loose streak and then eventually rest and then recover. But I agree that it gets tiring when you keep losing especially when there's no comeback, you get tired and have no motivation to continue trading. Trading is open for everyone as they can have the knowledge to start trading, but if you are not capable of handling your emotions cause there's no such thing as only having green days, for sure you wouldn't last long in trading cause eventually you will lose the motivation that might lead to negative decisions or calls. It's okay to accept that trading in Bitcoin is not for you since there are a lot of alternate options for you such as long-term investment in Bitcoin or any other terms of investment. Since they both involve risk that gives you two possible outcomes which is either profits or loss.
385  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not get scammed by this, specially newcomers. on: November 13, 2023, 12:47:46 AM
Most of the new experiences and newbies are the ones who get scammed in a trick like this. We can't deny that sometimes people have problems losing BTC due to their lack of knowledge like what could be the factor that caused the loss of their Bitcoin, so once they searched online or even asked for help on some platform, this kind of thread would show up. Due to hoping they could resolve their problem, they would literally try to communicate with the scammers, not knowing that some of the people who also commented that he was legit, giving some fake proof are also the same person. You can't blame someone for trying anything in trying to recover their losses, since they are emotional which is actually normal especially if you don't expect things like that, but it would be better to find a reliable source that can support claims that Bitcoin could be retrieved cause there are some fake links and sites existing online, but of course, it would be impossible to retrieve Bitcoin once you loss it.
386  Local / Pilipinas / Re: “CrypTalk: University Caravan” on: November 12, 2023, 01:32:42 PM
Medyo nakaktakot din yung hinagawa nya kasi ang una kong naisip, paano sya naging credible na magvisit ng mga universties at maging coach sa crypto? Tho wala namang masamang maging skeptic diba?
Siguro ang purpose nya is to share knowledge pero aware naman siguro tayo na for profit talaga iyon. Okay lang siguro na makinig sa kanya para magkaroon ng idea pero wag naman na sa kanya lang. Mas okay na marami tayong source kung gusto natin maging knowledgeable and updated pagdating sa crypto.

I think normal lang naman magkaron ng mga visits sa mga unibersidad as long as may permission ka ng school, syempre ibabahagi mo purpose ng visit niyo tsaka kung ano purpose and benefits nito sa students nila para payagan ka nila. Madami na mga naglilibot sa mga university na iba't-ibang purpose syempre yung iba naman mga endorsement tsaka advertisement. Kung totoo man yung gantong caravan, goods talaga to kasi iniintroduce sila sa mga kabataan kasi advantage din sila magkaron ng idea sa crypto industry at early age, kaso nabasa ko parang dinedeny daw ata na hindi naman daw. Pero libreng seminar about ganto goods na goods na to, syempre di ka lang sa kanya kukuha source of information, kumbaga pag na hook ka sa seminar at na interesado ka, dun ka na mag sisimula mag DYOR about crypto.
387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: November 12, 2023, 12:43:12 PM
The act of greed will allow us to cashout our games? Because we become more interested in the system and desperate to earn everything our hands could get hand on, that's the moment we learn gambling the hardway, ready to risk everything for gambling and don't fall into the appropriate category at the end of the day, that absolutely hurts more than we could imagine in the system. When we witnessed or come acrossed big winnings in the system, we become more motivated and these enormous winnings persuades us to do things that are not on our watch list.
If you experience a big win, it will increase your greed in placing high bets because you think it is just a loss of winnings, but the situation gets worse when you continue to experience consecutive losses so that you will lose everything. Every gambler will lose 30% of their winnings and they realize that they have to withdraw profits to maintain their winnings, so the right choice is to stop gambling to enjoy the winnings and return to gambling the next day.
It is better to withdraw the amount of winnings because it increases the greed when gambling wins. No one can guarantee the correct gambling, many casino scams, then there will be no fear of losing gambling addiction is a condition where a person cannot resist the urge to gamble. Greed leads to negative consequences in financial life you can maintain that excitement by being a little more responsible to avoid high stakes greed. The best way to do this is to have a plan the important thing here is that you try and stick to that plan as much as possible.

I think most gamblers once they win a huge amount of winnings, of course, will continue gambling, in my case I just take profit like 70/30 which is that 30 is the amount to continue and also my limit while for the 70 would straight to cashout so I could say that I still profited. Sometimes, you could also use that emotion which is greed when you are gambling, cause it will boost your thinking of "keep winning" which gives you wise thinking like for the game poker. You will just need to limit that greed so that you won't be staking huge amounts that once you lose and try to recover it, eventually it will lead to gambling addiction. Just remember that in gambling, even if you have a plan, once you are playing the game, you won't think of your plan since you are too focused on the game this is only based on the experience. There are a lot of possible outcomes if you are gambling, you really need to handle your emotions and mental health, but not all things would go into our plan.
388  Economy / Economics / Re: "I saw my salary on a bottle of perfume today" on: November 12, 2023, 11:55:51 AM
The general definition of financial freedom is affordability to live the lifestyle that you wish for, so it's obvious that the more you earn the higher your lifestyle can become. Just remove the elite class from the discussion who can buy whatever they want and the price tag doesn't matter to them which is even beyond the top 1% apart from that everyone wants to spend on something that is worth the money and itself varies depending on their income generating stability.

my underline quote will be if you buy that an expensive bottle because you want it and can afford it then its financial freedom but you are buying it but you don't really wish to use it then its lifestyle inflation which is created purely from the peer pressure created by brands.

And the scenario presented by the OP is that the price of that bottle of perfume costs the same as the salary of that person.
So do you really think it is just to buy such perfume and suffer your other expenses?
You are delusional if you are just following the hype around you, why buying such expensive bottle for the mere reason of being relevant.

The thing is there are some people who are already born rich and their lifestyle is to buy things that don't need to think about their price. And there are people who are wanna be rich just to look cool from others' judgment despite struggling with their financial status. You can literally afford that expensive perfume since it is the same value as your income, but if you think of your essential needs, bills, etc. do you think it's wise to buy an expensive perfume for the reason that you can afford it? Of course not, that's why I agree that you don't need to join the hype or copy someone's lifestyle that isn't even applicable to an average person's financial status. People's desires and wants are easy to attain almost everything in this world is anyone's dream, so it's better to think of your funds cause money can be spent easily.
389  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Holding for long might not be the best option. on: November 12, 2023, 08:23:22 AM
I only think that Bitcoin wouldn't be good for long-term investment when it comes to emergency purposes, cause despite having emergency funds, we can't tell that we won't be needing soon the money that we invested. You will be unlucky if you will be needing to sell your holding Bitcoin's value lower than the price you bought it. As we know Bitcoin's potential, is literally for long-term investment we know when bullrun comes, and Bitcoin reaches its ATH once again, then that's the good time to sell your holdings, still, it is up to you if you want to make a profit already, cause some of the people has their own plan for their target price. Still, we can't still predict Bitcoin's outcome due to its volatility so investing for long-term investment is not for everyone unless you use some method such as DCA method.
390  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment on: November 12, 2023, 07:26:14 AM
Moreover, it is wise to invest in bitcoins where there is no financial risk, when you invest in bitcoins, you don't have to risk much for your half.

This might be a dangerous statement to make

beginners might misinterpret

there’s still risks present in investing that doesn’t mean it’s not profitable anymore risk is defined as an exposure to danger which can be prevented if you invest blindly even if it’s in bitcoin you can still lose your money however you can prevent this by studying the market and being knowledgeable in cryptocurrency

You're actually right, a simple statement could be read by someone who's gathering information first before they start investing, which can cause misinterpretation cause all of the investment that exists involves risk. That's why there's a phrase that "high risk, high reward" cause it can be considered as a 50/50 outcome which is either profit or loss, this still depends on the knowledge you hold and experience. No need to sugarcoat everything about Bitcoin, because it is much better to introduce investment such as Bitcoin by giving its pros and cons for newbies to be aware, cause if you only focus on the pros, for sure it might shock you if the outcomes is unexpected from what you've read cause there's no such thing as "risk" they said.
391  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: November 11, 2023, 07:22:22 PM


as I posted in the previous post, education can make us all free from ignorance, when our knowledge is good then whatever we want to achieve will be easy to achieve, apart from that when there are indications of fraud approaching us, the insight or education we have Get it can be a protective shield from the frauds, education doesn't always make people successful but education is the best privilege for today's future, don't be lazy to continue improving your education, even Elon Musk took his Master's degree when his business was already big.

 Education is good but do not bring income to us. We need to use the knowledge we have gathered to establish ourselves and create better business if we have the funds. There are people that have the mentality that they are going to rich when they go school. School or education is never the key to success.
 There are many people that are graduate now and still don't have the sense to make money for themselves or become and entrepreneur that is really to create businesses so they can employ other graduates to work for them.

Education helps you to have knowledge of a certain thing if you're taking a degree for example in engineering, If you are applying for this kind of job, mostly of the company would prefer people who have graduated and have a degree which means they have the knowledge for an engineering that studied for years. They cannot risk hiring someone who's not knowledgeable enough for an engineering role, cause not only you would receive good pay but you are also risking someone's life by building a solid structure. In short, education is just a key for you to have the privilege to apply for a high-paying job that could eventually achieve your goal and success. The thing is, we all have a different way of earning money to reach our goals, it is either being employed or building your own business. Cause for sure if you are the boss of the business you will pay someone who's good at handling money like for accounting cause they have the knowledge you don't. It's just you would pick what suits you.
392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: November 11, 2023, 07:06:16 PM
It is obvious that not everyone is interested in horse racing game because some persons do not know how the game works especially betting on it. When it comes to gambling, I mostly advise people to go for what works for them than trying to learn something new that would start making them to be making loses. The goal is to make profits from gambling no matter the kind of game we are betting on whether easy or difficult for some persons. Whatever works for us is what we should gamble on rather looking for new kind of bets to play to win more profits.
Many gamblers are not interested in new bets because they do not know the technicalities of predicting wins because most gamblers focus on football betting, so it is possible that those who bet on horse racing betting already understand the potential to choose winners, they are chasing profits instead of choosing the favorite racing team. However, there will be more and more horse racing fans if this sport is competed in all countries and added to the international Olympics, hoping that the support of all casinos adding horse racing betting will have an impact on increasing fans of gambling on that sport.

I think it really depends on the country, some of the country's football is so popular that they made a betting game to it. And some country like mine which is football is not that popular but basketball where they share the same mechanics. For me, horse racing actually has easy mechanics and I could even see this kind of gambling in an arcade place where kids are using tokens as bets. But in reality, if you really focused on having profits, you would literally be examined and analyzed as the best team or best player that has the potential to win. I just want to think that if there's a case that horse racing would be popular in gambling worldwide, I hope that the horses have proper treatment even locally places, cause for sure there's a law that supports anti-animal cruelty.
393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wedding expenses and party celebrations with Bitcoin money. on: November 11, 2023, 06:45:02 PM
First of all, why do this post?

Although these are personal, these two mentioned days were the most important of my life.


 If I hadn't invested in Bitcoin I might not have seen this happy day and party with my friends. Writing about bitcoin and bitcoin forums may never end.
is this a true story? What i wanna hear from you is that "Have you truly planned this wedding or just accidentally" because it is cleared what you said that if you hadn't invest and earn in bitcoin you will never see this happy day, so I see it odd for the story and for your Girlfriend (that now is your wife) that you will not marry her if this increase does not happened. sounds like another merit farming story that we have seen many times in the past.
Quote



I am very happy to invest in bitcoin and connect with bitcoin forum.
Anyway , congrats for your wedding and congrats to the whole topic, hope that you will keep that bitcoin on hold since you only spent that profit of yours .

I have a friend and he is also a bitcoin investor for the past 2 years, he has been continuously accumulating bitcoins whenever possible, and he told me that. He will only get married when bitcoin reaches 40k$, he will sell some bitcoin to build a house and then get married (he already has a girlfriend). So I won't be surprised or feel strange if one day he comes to this forum and shares about it. So I believe what OP said and it's a true story.

That is literally the point of investing, where you are trying for your money to work for you so that in the future you will have extra money for any plans you have. If your friend has been accumulating for almost 2 years already, for sure he already has enough funds cause if I remember correctly Bitcoin for the last months was stable at $20k, now if his consistent for sure he could already get married. But yeah, we all have different target prices for selling Bitcoin, cause if he's also planning to build a house, you really need to ensure your funds for a long-term investment so it would reach the price that you could already afford building your own house and get married. At least your friend was planning to secure his funds as well as their shelter before being committed to a relationship. But I also support his reply, cause some of us here in the forum share some kind of positive effects story of Bitcoin just to farm merit.
394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: November 11, 2023, 06:24:45 PM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.

Of course, as an owner of an establishment or anything that is yours, you have the freedom to do whatever you like, if it's an establishment, account, platform, etc. The thing is whatever action you take will always have consequences, if you do something like rig the game just for you to win in your own game, then of course, gamblers or customers would lose interest in your platform as they figured out that you can manipulate your own game. If I remember it right, there's actually an advertisement about gambling where streamers are in the video showing how the game works, then instantly won like $100,000 by simply clicking a start button. It might look easy to earn money as you watch but once you download it, of course, it would be different, I think that's an example of how can you use your authority on your own platform. Also, you could try out your own platform to eliminate its flaws and improve.
395  Economy / Economics / Re: Being rich = not looking at price tag on: November 11, 2023, 05:35:26 PM
I actually agree with your post OP, if you started from the bottom of course you would experience all of the experiences before reaching the time you wouldn't even need to look for the price since you already afford it. Of course, if they started at the bottom they wouldn't afford such pricey clothes or accessories so it would be a habit to check out for the price if it's fair to their quality, cause it would feel like an impulsive customer to pay for something that is not even quality. I also observed that even rich people still prefer to wear cheaper clothes cause they have the mindset that "the goal is to become rich, not to look rich" or something like that because it is actually reasonable cause you don't need to prove anything by buying any luxurious things, only if its for investment.

396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Treating bitcoin as a teenager. on: November 11, 2023, 02:50:52 PM
Bitcoin is literally still at its early age despite existing for decades, cause we all know that some other currencies already exist earlier than Bitcoin, but as we compare from their highest peak, we can't argue that Bitcoin's value is much higher than the rest. It might take a lot of years for Bitcoin to reach something like $100k so I wouldn't expect much higher than that cause we can't still predict the outcome of a volatile coin. Cause even if Bitcoin might not reach $100k, we can still make a huge profit from its price by just simply changing its value. Even from the $20k-$25k value of Bitcoin if you invested at that value and took profit from its current price, for sure you still made money. People who expect a lot from Bitcoin is probably new investors who want the same experience as people who became millionaire of Bitcoin.
397  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the right age for financial stability? on: November 10, 2023, 10:22:15 PM
Starting to save and invest early can have a huge impact on our long term financial health. Even if you can only afford to save a small amount each month, it's still worth it because small amounts of money can grow over time if they're invested wisely. But the problem here is our risk tolerance at that age. Do you think at that early age, one can be able to manage and tolerate risk? Yes, it depends on individual but it's a big factor to consider before beginning to invest even as a grown person talk more of upcoming youths. Financial stability is more than just having a certain amount of money in the bank. It's also about having a reliable source of income and being prepared for the future. But the challenges people in that age range have is balancing the current needs with saving for the future. In fact, that age range is the most critical and challenging stage in human life because getting the right priority becomes hard. Is it looking for your own house? Further your education? Or doing investment? And unfortunately, the income is limited.
A person doesn't necessarily have to start investing at a young age, all they should do is keep saving as much money as they can if they become mature at an early age and start thinking and planning about their future. I know that it would be better if they learn to invest wisely and do it as early as possible so that when they reach an older age, they should already have some assets built that will help them become financially stable and not struggle to find jobs and earn a living.

However, it's not very easy to do all that at such a small age. When you are 18, you don't have much experience with things, you are still working on your education, trying to get a degree and get prepared to face the practical world, and it's often not possible for someone to get into investments and stuff at that age, only a few people can think differently and do things that are going to make their future much more secure.

Well, you have a point, at a young age people could start investing themselves first, if they are not mature enough to handle this kind of thing such as investment, they could gather knowledge and skills first by just simply reading some books, attending some seminars or even in the internet since almost all of the resources as well the information are almost at the internet. Plus they don't have yet source of income so where they will get their funds for investment right? That's why once they get mature enough to handle learning as well as having a source of income like a part-time job, then it might be a good time for them to go with investment, cause they are earning enough to be cautious with the money.

It might not be easy to start early as you are like a toddler in this industry still learning things, but every step you take will be part of your growth. As I said you wouldn't need to engage yourself in investment if you don't have any knowledge, if you don't have any experience you could try a demo account or something like that, there's a lot of sources for improvement nowadays that even kids could learn. But of course, it cannot be learned in just a few days, it will take a lot of time for you to be familiar as well to be smart in this industry.
398  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Would you Like Your Pension Paid in Bitcoin? on: November 10, 2023, 10:10:22 PM
Stop being sarcastic,  Grin you want to become a millionaire with that amount in pension, any way you could have covered your entire pension pay to Bitcoin since your company may not consider that option of paying your pension with Bitcoin because of government regulations in line with pension payments.


I don't think the company will want to go through the stress of having everything changed because of a single staff who wants to get paid with Bitcoin,  s9 is The only option open to you is to have the payment converted manually at some point.
I don't really know how op want it or expected his own pension to be paid looking at some of the problems the pension company might face trying to covert the actual payment into Bitcoin couples with the network fee that would be involved. I don't see any need for this. If we really want to receive our pension in Bitcoin, while not get the pension and use part of it to purchase Bitcoin. The market is somehow shaking and the way prices moves is like a trajectory. Anybody that want to invest in Bitcoin can as well use part of the pension money to invest in Bitcoin for as long as possible.

It would be literally a hassle for the company to convert the fiat money amount to Bitcoin, which can be done by the pensioner if he/she wants to invest in Bitcoin for future purposes. Not only that the transaction fee would be an issue since sometimes there's traffic in the transaction plus the high gas fee for just a single transaction, so I think it wouldn't be a good idea to use Bitcoin for this kind of business.

Plus if they try this method for one customer wanting to be paid in Bitcoin, for sure they would need to be knowledgeable and understand the crypto industry, cause they might click-click not knowing anything that causes the money to be lost. I also find pension money to be risky to use in terms of investment cause it might just provide all your essential needs so you might not have the spare money (based on experience), but it really depends cause we all have different pension amounts that might be managed for investment.

-    Most wives actually do not want to know that their husbands gamble because other wives think that gambling is not a good game. Maybe because they know that many people have ruined their lives and destroyed their families because of gambling addiction.

But there are other wives who are fine with them if they find out that you won gambling; of course, that's fine because you will give the money you won to your wife.
It's not just about winning and giving the money to the wife, a spouse should have no problem with their partner gambling as long as the partner is providing everything for the family. A family would need money and time from the man of the family, and if he is providing those things to them, they wouldn't or shouldn't have a problem with what they do as an extra activity that they might like and aren't addicted to it and wasting their time and money on it.

I don't consider time and money to be wasted if it's extra and is being used in something that you enjoy doing because everyone has the right to have some fun. By extra, I mean that the time and money being used for gambling aren't supposed to be used somewhere else, if you've spent time with family and have provided everything needed and still have money and time left, you can enjoy yourself and your family should have no issues with that.

Also as long as that habit of gambling doesn't have an effect on the family as well, some gamblers once they lose at gambling, can't control their emotions and mental thinking so sometimes they put those emotions to the family which is the worst, where sometimes they are suddenly becoming cold, rude and etc. And the fact that the gambler itself doesn't have negative effects on him as well, cause who's gonna take care of the husband when he gets depressed, addicted, or any kinds of negative effects of gambling to a person? It is the family, right? It is more like sound as a burden to them. There's nothing wrong with having fun cause some people afford to gamble some spare money since they are financially enough to provide all the needs of their family. Cause if you are gambling and don't provide some money for the food on the table, then it's normal for the wives to be mad.

I don't know if we were rug pulled back then in the pandemic, as the economy of every country has been affected since most of the jobs, and businesses have been forced to close down to avoid the spreading of the virus. Not sure if the economy has recovered after almost 3 years but in my country, a lot of people lost their jobs and some people took advantage of the situation and profited. In my case, I just do work from home since it's not allowed to go outside, so I could handle my time by doing work as well as doing investments in the crypto industry, which is a benefit for me.

After the lockdown where people are trying to go back to their jobs and recover, the government is trying to announce another variant of viruses, but people have been vaccinated and don't want to go back to lockdown due to they don't have a source of income, I think this is is actually fishy that they are trying to bring back that situation so for sure they are benefiting or what can we say they are trying to"rug pulled" once again, cause they have the power to manipulate the market.
