That is extremely inspiring, and at the same time, it is the most significant flex that you could possibly share with everyone. Well, that is really inspiring, and I know there are still a lot of people in this forum who have accomplished a great deal. I have friends who have purchased luxury cars, apartments, and even a house as a result of their bitcoin investments. I also have things that I purchased because of bitcoin, such as a phone, a television, and, most importantly, food for my family, with the hope of one day being able to build a house if I ever make a profit from bitcoin.

I somehow disagree with the first statement.

While there may be this misconception that money does NOT guarantee happiness, it does enable someone to be happy especially if a person came from nothing and gained everything. It all depends on whether the person has the capability of transforming money and converting it into happiness by purchasing stuff or experiencing once-in-a-lifetime moments.

That is why, every time I hear someone saying that money cannot buy happiness, I tend to disagree. I mean, if I have the money to own several BTCs, that would definitely make me happy.
Being practical and realistic what you are saying is true, you can convert happiness when you already have the luxury, money can make you happy in material things, that's no doubt, it can easily give you the enjoyment that you are looking the luxurious life that you haven't had before, when you have lots of money it's easy for you spend it out and buy whatever you desire.

Material things that will bring the enjoyment or other things that you can do using your money that will simply allow you to enjoy.

But, on the other side, there is a happiness that we can't simply buy but we need to feel. That kind of happiness reside from our inner side..
 Roll Eyes Cool
Yes indeed there is a difference of opinion between us regarding, "money does not guarantee happiness". But in my opinion, the luxury life, being able to buy everything what we want with money is not a happiness, but rather our satisfaction with something.
From happiness we can get satisfaction, but not the other way around.

This is the word that I am looking for in order to be satisfied. I believe that this is the most intense emotion that we would be experiencing if we purchased costly items such as the most recent model of phone on which we bet our lives on success. The majority of individuals who are not wealthy believe that they are happy. They believe that they are truly happy if they are not sick, if they can eat three times a day, and if they have a happy family. The majority of people believe that happiness is about having a strong family.

At present, payment with Bitcoin has started all over the world. We can now buy more or less many things with Bitcoin. It is hoped that full Bitcoin payments will begin very soon.Even in developed countries, almost everything can be bought by paying with Bitcoin. These can be bought by paying bitcoin at various shopping mall pharmacy pharmacies. This is another step towards improving the world.

Today bitcoin is the new innovation of payment many platforms now are using the cryptocurrency especially as the bitcoin for the mode of payment which is an ideal thing and less hassle to make transactions of course many today are using cryptocurrency as their investment and its ideal thing that they will send this immediately to the platform supporting this kind of new features. Me also I recommend the use of it because im fan of crypto too.

You are absolutely correct. Bitcoin was originally intended to be used as a payment method, but we are now utilizing it to make a profit as an investment, which is something we should be grateful for because we do have a chance of making money from it. Those that got in early get the best value because the price is still inexpensive, but it is still not too late to invest in it because the price is continuing to rise, so don't lose out on this great opportunity to make money. In terms of actual establishments that accept bitcoin, there are only a few in our country, but the vast majority of merchants who accept bitcoin do so through the internet.
3964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling for the rich who can afford to lose ? on: January 12, 2022, 07:19:03 PM
So can we say that gambling is for the riches who can afford to lose?
I am far from being rich. just because someone has money they can afford to lose does not mean that they are rich. I for one have to save money so that I could gamble, though it is not a huge amount it is enough to satisfy and entertain me.

As previously said, you should have money set aside specifically for gambling purposes and that you are willing to lose. I agree that having enough money to lose doesn't necessarily imply that you are wealthy; rather, it simply indicates that you have the money to do so. However, if you have a significant amount of money, that is when you should be referred to as wealthy. I believe that those VIPs, as we refer to them, are wealthy individuals who can afford to do so.
3965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling addiction?! on: January 12, 2022, 02:13:34 PM
This is similar to depression, in which we, as people who are not depressed, can easily say that the reason they became depressed was because their problem was too simple, and that depression is kind of stupid.But the truth of this is that we are so lucky that we are able to control our emotions, but when we put ourselves in their situation, they cannot control it. That is why they need help. This is the same with addiction. Mostly the cause of this is greediness to get back all the losses and the feeling of winning money. That is most of the reason we get addicted if we can't control it. If we can, then we are lucky. Anyone could get addicted to gambling because of the feeling that it is unexplainable.
3966  Economy / Economics / Re: 12% of First-Time Homebuyers Say Selling Crypto Helped Save for Down Payment on: January 12, 2022, 04:28:15 AM
Great. I am going to do the same

Wow! That is truly incredible. Although I believe that many of my friends have purchased a home and other luxury items as a result of the crypto, I had anticipated that they would be affected as well. However, when covid struck, they were earning more than before, leading them to purchase homes and high-end automobiles, which I find astounding. According to the survey, new homebuyers are earning bitcoin, and I would speculate that this is primarily millennials or young people who are making large sums of money as a result of cryptocurrency.
3967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pros and Cons of Gambling on: January 12, 2022, 03:43:38 AM
We win some and lose some and keep on enjoying the game.
You will lose your pleasure when you lose, yes it is only temporary because gamblers will return to play while still having funds that can be used in gambling, I think the reason to get fun from gambling is not the real reason but the real reason is to earn money, although earning money from gambling is not an easy and common thing.

The real reason was that they had the opportunity to earn large sums of money that they would not have been able to obtain by working. Most people I know gamble because they believe they have a chance of winning large sums of money that will make their lives easier. The real reason is money, but you are also entertained, which is extremely addictive. As for myself, I would say that I gamble for money rather than for entertainment, but I believe that the wealthy only want to entertain themselves.
3968  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: IS it possible to let your BTC work for you ? on: January 11, 2022, 06:05:12 PM
BTC works for you by increasing it's purchasing power over the years.

If you send your BTC to any company you're taking huge risks for very small gains. You could lose it all eventually.

Think long term, and keep your BTC in your own cold storage. You'll be way better off with less risks.

This. The best way Bitcoin works for you is not by giving you interest or a dividend, it is by capital appreciation. A lot of people are fooled by this. I'd rather have something that gives me 180% annual appreciation on average than something that gives me 10% interest and makes me lose 20% capital.

Somehow, people tend to lose their patience and want fast money, but this will end up losing all their money. It is better to have less risk. It is okay if we are moving slowly, but it is definitely since profit is the goal and not the first to finish. I really don't mind how long it takes to gain a profit as long as I am really earning a profit. We should be thinking and planning ahead rather than doing things fast as we tend to make mistakes and then end up losing a ton of money.
3969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Teaching your kids to gamble. on: January 11, 2022, 02:40:44 PM

Maybe we can forbid but we must explain why it can be a danger to them, especially if they are still kids. We can give an example for addicted people in gambling and what happens to them so they can see that gambling can ruin their lives. With the right explanation that they can understand, I am sure they will not be curious and search for more about gambling instead will try to avoid it and tell their friends why they should not be involved in gambling. We can not give them strict rules to avoid gambling them because they will disobey it and try to figure it out by themselves and I am afraid that can make them go in the wrong direction.

That's the right way to do than letting them discover gambling for themselves, they can easily learn it in the internet, we all know kids nowadays are quite reckless if they are influenced in the wrong way, so it's better that parents are the ones to tell them the disadvantages and the risk of being a gambling addict, only responsible parents can mold responsible children by doing the right approach.

Agree , as a parent well my kid is still young , i know we cant control their life all the time what the best thing we could do is talked to them the disadvantages on it but we really expect that they will got curious about it and still pursuing it which we cant really control but after that we should guide them always they will learn from their mistakes but that mistakes happened and you tell them about it starting on that day they will listen to you and try to avoid it or like play with it but with your guidance. I am not really stopping my kid in gambling as long as she wants it but with moderation only
3970  Economy / Economics / Re: Advice for the season. on: January 11, 2022, 05:42:50 AM
Don't bend to societal pressure of over spending during this festive season, make serious plans for the celebrations and the coming year, Don't fall into the trap or bend to the pressure of selling off a percentage of your cryptos to  spend this festive season, a new year is coming. January is usually a long month that carries along a lot of expenses, make plans and preparations now for tomorrow, spend wisely today.
this is a journey for a holder at a time when the mentality must be strong with falling prices if we sell at the time this topic is created maybe we will take it at this time but we don't do it so it's stuck to wait for a hold
and at this time we have to be able to strengthen our mentality because it looks like the price will continue to be steeper and if we have the courage to sell now and wait deeper to take it but we must have a steel mentality

It is called greed and it is able to control our emotions. That is the biggest reason and problem for the holder because they tend to sell it because they get scared like a spike drop. They think that bitcoin will die, so they will sell their holding, which is one of the characteristics of bitcoin. That means that you don't have trust in bitcoin because on red days you tend to sell your coin. Also, someone will be so greedy that they want to get all the profit but end up losing it all.
3971  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and happiness. on: January 10, 2022, 05:27:00 PM
What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?
some people agree, money makes people happy, what happens if people have a lot of money are not happy, there is such a thing.

In general it is true that having a lot of money can have a happy life, try if you have a lot of money but from corruption or robbing is it considered happy.

This has been a long debate ever since, and while I don't know what the correct answer is, I do know that everyone has an opinion on it, as some will say that money can make you happy, while others will say you can be happy without it.Well, the truth of life is that there are rich people that are still lacking something like a kid or children, and the other is a lack of money but rich in family love. Well, in general, I want to be in the center, like I do have money and also have a family to love.
3972  Economy / Economics / Re: What will you do in 2030? on: January 10, 2022, 06:03:56 AM
The future has always been interesting and 2030 will be for us, as always, I think, an ordinary year. I believe that the crypto market will be stable and many coins will grow very high in value. And other coins will become useless altogether. And also who has invested in the most relevant coins will receive the highest returns. And for all crypto-investors, 2030 will be the most successful year.
because in 2030 the managers of the state government will be the millennial generation and generation Z of course with their new mind they will bring to the practical socialist world with sophisticated technology, of course, they will adopt world technological advances such as cryptocurrency block chains, smart contracts, metaverse and others.

Agree, this will happen in the future. There are new minds that will be in the government that are thinking of new innovations and also the same way we do. The future is bright with crypto since we will see a leader that will fully embrace crypto and a millennial thinker that most people like it. Although we can't really predict the future, what we are sure of is that our future would be bright if we did have a leader that was good as well. Otherwise, we are doomed.
3973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the next big industry move? on: January 10, 2022, 04:01:38 AM

I agree.

I don't like fiat either but still force on using it because we doesn't have a choice since the Government still uses it for corruption and of course manipulating the economy that leads to further conflicts like wars, etc... The future of gambling industry won't stick to the old style for sure because like us using fiat, they won't have a choice if fiat is gonna be phased out in the future, surely they will be force to adopt the latest form of payment which is cryptocurrency or electronic payment system.

That is exactly correct. If anything the whole matter is not what or how but rather when. Its going to happen, sooner or later crypto will become the next generation of money. It really should have happened sooner, we have been using the current monetary systems for too long. They are outdated and have been so, ever since the age of internet came. I cannot say how much crypto will stop corruption and wars but it will definitely help!

the bottleneck here is that most governments have no defined taxation laws yet when it comes to crypto gambling sites. fiat system may be outdated but this traditional payment system will not go away anytime soon. a lot of gamblers are still using it. remember, crypto users are still in small percentage as compared to global population. so it would really take long time before we see the majority of gamblers that will go into crypto

Well by some of what you are saying I can understand the meaning behind it but I will have to quietly shake my head at your assumption that the governments do not have sufficient laws on the taxation of crypto online gambling. The tax laws regarding this is quite clear, because the government very strictly and hastely introduces tax laws, as not to miss out on profits. I think you were thinking of regulation, rather than taxation.

Agree, they are fast and as long as they see that you are earning money out of it, they will then declare that you should be paying taxes. The best example was when you were earning money from NFT games. We knew that the government had not established a law about it and that you should pay a tax. But after a few months, the government took over and started tracking those players and should pay taxes according to their income. The government is really fast when it comes to money.
3974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't bet more than you can afford to lose. on: January 09, 2022, 03:55:27 AM
It's always easy to say, not to spend more money than you can afford. Undoubtedly, many players will also gamble with that approach, but if the balance at a site is at 0, things go wrong. Then strategies are adjusted and money is bet which can't really be missed, hoping for a hit, but which often does not come.
Exactly, easy to say to not bet if you're losing when in reality it's probably the hardest thing to do because you're chasing a momentum and you don't like the idea that you're going to leave the game losing then probably you haven't played a lot of games or you haven't gambled at all, the feeling of not winning is going to make go on a rampage until you get a win which might take a while if you have a shitty luck.

i dont know but this kind of words are to the people that is addicted to gambling. I do have a lot of friends that will walkaway when losing the game because they dont want to go broke, it means they can control their greed because they know when to stop meaning they can control their emotions. i know the feeling walking away that is losing but it is better than Lossing all your money tho.
3975  Economy / Economics / Re: What is better - cryptocurrency trading or investing? on: January 08, 2022, 01:11:48 PM
You have good experience in trading and investing then both are profitable but better investments in the long run than in daily trading. The risk is higher when trading every day trading is not possible to properly evaluate currencies without experience is true that it is better to hold bitcoin there is no fear of losing this currency and trading is possible to make a profit in the long run even if the knowledge is less. Long term investment benefits for investors.
most people do choose long-term investments because they are safer and do not require complicated analysis. but not a few also choose to make short-term investments because they want to get a quick profit and use the profit earned for capital to get a bigger profit. It doesn't matter if you want to invest long term or short term, the most important thing is according to the skills you have.

And adding to that, this kind of investors understand the value of their investment.

They stand to their point that for holding the asset, the chance of maximizing the profits is really high, choosing this
kind of strategy also lessens your stress.

You just buy the asset you trust, then hold it till it reached the target profits that you projected, not stressful like dealing
with day trading..
Day trading does sometimes make us stressed because we have to really keep abreast of developments and price movements because if we don't do it then we will lose the moment,
but after all, whether it's trading or investing, each has its risks, so indeed to make a profit we need effort and hard work

Agree wether you are choosing between investing or trading as long as  you are earning profit it is okay. It depends on the person on what is really working on him like if he earning a lot in trading but in investing a coin is not working on him then let him do trading . Choosing between those two really depends on the person as long as earning a profit it is okay
3976  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins and Video games on: January 08, 2022, 12:05:11 PM
I think games are still aimed at games, namely entertainment even though they offer an income like NFT games but there must be an investment and here you risk it with game skills whereas if it is without investment then what you will get may not be as good as local games that pay quite .

they are offering quite half on that and I think majority of the player prefer to earn then the fun or excitement is just secondary thing for them. But majority of it is skill based game so you need to be good to earn more tokens but also we should know the risk since scammers are now into NFT and many scam projects are now popping up on this category.

Yes you should be skilled but you can be skilled by training or honing your skills on that game . NFT games right now really needs skills to win the game and earn money because if you are not skillful enough then you will not win the game and not earn single money. I know in the future most of the games integrated the crypto in games and those who are skilled are earning money from it

If you have all the money in the world but the world is falling apart around you, what happiness could you possibly obtain?

It is the same with how you send your money if you are dying. Happiness and money to others is the same as money will lead to happiness, but still, there are people that happiness is not the same as money. They are still happy without money since they are getting used to it. Even so, without money, life is extremely difficult because every move requires money.As for my opinion on this, as long as I can buy our basic needs, I am good and we are a healthy and happy family.

Hollywood died because of our sins. If we weren't torrenting the shit out of them, they would be still alive and kicking now.  Tongue

Because of that, the best we got is shitty netflix productions full of sjw & lbgt propaganda.

We are the victims of our own greed.

Look how they massacred my boi. The Matrix Resurr... I can't even say its name. That fucking cocksucker Ton... I mean Lana Skorsky destroyed a fookin legend.



(I haven't watched it)


I agree with this because of the pirated version of the movie. This leads to low income for the filmakers and it's not worth it to spend more. That is the reason why the cinema is dying right now: because they couldn't get enough money as people want only to watch it on their devices from pirates. Well, people saved a ton of money since it is expensive, but the result is that only a few are making movies right now.
3979  Economy / Economics / Re: A way to make money online? on: January 06, 2022, 08:51:09 AM
It is very important to look for information regarding platforms or sites that can make money,
apart from that we must really be able to take advantage of current technological developments to be able to make money online
It's true that nowadays earning money online is easier because of technological advances that are growing very rapidly.I think working online is very suitable to be used as a side income because this work can be done at home and anytime. but you must be able to divide your time very well so that this side job does not interfere with your main job.

Agreed, and the truth is that most full-time employees do side jobs online during their vacations or breaks at work because they can do it from anywhere as long as they have an internet connection and a laptop or even a phone.Working online is very flexible because I work entirely remotely and my bosses are all over the world; I am grateful for this situation because it allows me to be with my family at any time and be safe with COVID because I do not go out much.Since the pandemic hit, most people are working online, and they are loving it.

Let him say whatever he wanted , who really cares? you?Us? no way


Agree to this, and in the end, he will end up investing in crypto. He has the ability to manipulate what people want; he can say whatever he wants, but people will not listen to only his followers; they have the ability to influence the bitcoin price.We just respect his sayings about crypto and let's watch him in the future when he will be eating his own words regarding crypto. People have their own opinions and I think we just respect them and let's see how they react when the price goes up.
