The helper's reaction might be due to experience. Maybe she has had a case where money given offered for a particular purpose was used for gambling. I also think that she did the right thing because it would be better to give the money to the sick person than any other person. After all, the sufferer will maximize the money.

Just like other forms of addiction like drugs, alcohol, sex, and others, gambling addiction could lead to loss of funds that would have been used for other important purposes. I know a man whose wife receives his salary from his workplace because of his alcohol addiction. His employer decided to give his wife because he would waste all the money before he got home after receiving his pay. We live in a society where unfavorable economic conditions are forcing people to engage in unhealthy practices which include uncontrollable gambling habits.

It is also believed that women are more prudent with funds and will unlikely engage in gambling activities. The majority of gamblers in my area are male, which means it will be ideal to give funds to women if you don't want them to be used for gaming.

Every bull run has some unique experience or occurrence. This current bull run is surrounded by the process and final approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF in the US. It will be difficult predict the price of Bitcoin or when it will get to the next ATH but based on the Bitcoin cycle it might happen at the end of this year or early next year. The golden rule still is to have a long-term plan and invest what you can afford to live without.

There is a saying that no knowledge is a waste, which means I agree that it will be beneficial to know the basics of graphs concerning market movements. But I understand what Hatchy is saying about long-term holders not needing these daily updates about Bitcoin market movements. Many long-term Bitcoiners have more than one year of investment plans, so it will be a waste of time to monitor the market daily. Daily movement of the market is irrelevant to them because regardless of what the position is, they are sticking to the plans. It is good to learn about these graphs but I think it will be more beneficial for traders and short-term crypto investors.

Manchester United have shown again that they are inconsistent this season. Most bettors in my area predicted an easy win for United considering that Fulham have won just one match in eight games in all competition. While United have had four straight wins in the Premiership. The problem with the Red Devils is the inability to convert goalscoring chances. They had nine shots on target and scored only one goal through a defender. Fulham was just able to seize the opportunity they had to grab these important three.

Alex Iwobi got the winner and it will be a big consolation to the midfielder who faced a lot of criticism due to his perceived poor performance in the African Nations Cup. He went through a harsh cyberbullying that made him consider retiring from the national team. Another Nigerian Calvin Bassey also got a goal which is a good thing for the defender who had a good outing in the AFCON..

The location of this the Headquarters of the EU anti-money laundering and countering terrorist financing authority is not relevant to me, all I want is for them to go after bad actors in the crypto space while genuine players should be given the freedom to engage in financial transactions without any restrictions. Genuine actors should not be allowed to suffer because the system has few bad actors. It is not strange that Germany was chosen as the location because the country has the largest economy in Europe.

This is exactly what is happening in my country where the government wants to control the currency and amount every citizen has in their accounts. The government is forcing the people to use the local currency while they are well aware that the local money is losing value. Bitcoin has helped many of us to keep our money safe from this authoritarian policy.

Bitcoin has also created alternatives for hedging against inflation. Before now people used precious stones like gold and silver to protect their money from losing value during inflation. Bitcoin is now the leading hedge against inflation and many people in my location are adopting it.

There are some activities that one should engage in when in the right frame of mind and gambling is one of them. Anyone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol should go home and rest instead of going to the casino to waste money. Some games need a lot of concentration and I wonder how someone who is high on drugs will coordinate himself and gamble properly. I usually see drunk people in casinos and from close observation they are not in control of the game. Such a person might not follow his gambling plan and might play above their income. Itv also easy for a drunk person to be deceived or cheated by the casino or bet house attendants because they are not concentrating. I would rather go and play computer games when I am high rather than gamble.   

OP would have graciously given us the source of his information and a proper analysis of his assumptions would have helped us to understand this thread. I am also confused about how he was able to know how many bars of gold would be gotten from the total amount of gold the earth has. Gold is a natural resource that cannot easily be quantified because there are always discoveries.  I read a report where 31 million tons of gold ore, from which an estimated 320,158 tons was discovered in Uganda in 2022. However, an estimate by the World Gold Council puts the figure at nearly 244,000 tonnes. 197,000 tonnes have currently been mined, while 57,000 tonnes are still unmined.

We have to define what we mean by wealth. I don't think that being wealthy is when you have so much money to spend on luxury and pleasure. To some people to be wealthy is the ability to be able to provide what they need and also have extra to save and invest. The university is just a place to open the minds of graduates. It is a learning ground not just to get good grades and paper qualifications but to open students to innovation, creative thinking and problem-solving skills. So graduates should be able to come out of school with the ability to identify and solve problems. So every graduate should be dedicated, hardworking and persistent in his business, work or other endeavor to become wealthy.

Apart from employability skills, the university also helps to build good character. The certificate in the university is given after the students have been deemed fit in character and learning. So apart from developing skills every graduate should develop good character such as honesty, truthfulness, contentment, teamwork, accountability, etc. A good grade might give someone a job but it is a good character that can help the person sustain the job.  

Mykhailo Mudryk is not the only Ukrainian who has struggled in Chelsea. Andriy Shevchenko was a record signing but he became a shadow of himself when he came to Stanford Bridge. He was seen as a player that can change the fortune of Chelsea but he has failed to live up to expectations with just four goals and five assists in 42 appearances. Chelsea had to muscle out Arsenal to sign this youngster and I know some Chelsea fans who celebrated this transfer in my area calling the striker a wonder kid.

But it seems Mauricio Pochettino have lost patience and  Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke are now better players that the club might not need the Ukrainian. It is so sad to see that he will be offloaded at a discounted price and we hope to dart seeing prospective buyers of this player. He is still young and can improve in the future if he puts in more effort. It is also possible that he could improve if he plays under another coach.  

Many of the people I know that want to buy Bitcoin now is because they want to make a profit in this bull run. They don't have much knowledge about Bitcoin investment but they are just following the crowd that thinks that they could just make fast money from the bull run. I stated in the OP that the best time to buy Bitcoin is when you can afford it especially if you want to keep your investment for a long time. Within this long period, one will definitely make some profit. The post is just a heads-up that we should plan for our Bitcoin Investment instead of joining the bandwagon of investors who are driven by FOMO.

Every institution has the right to do what they deem fit for their investment. Michael Saylor can also change his stance about not selling Bitcoin if he thinks it is time to make a profit. Currently, Micheal is still accumulating more Bitcoin for personal hodling after he showed interest in selling  $216 million worth of his shares MicroStrategy. 

Such kind of news might bring FUD to the Bitcoin market but the market will recover as usual. The price of Bitcoin might drop slightly, but it will recover after a few days.

The actions of institutions like MicroStrategy are irrelevant when I am making my Bitcoin investment decision. Bitcoin is well well-programmed project that has an inbuilt recovery mechanism. The decisions of these major investors will just have an impact on the market in a short time. This why Bitcoin should be seen as a long-time investment, so that you can keep hodling even when the market is going down. 

Bitcoin has grown over the years to become one of the leading currencies and investments. Before now, it was neglected and seen as a currency that would not last for a long time. But Bitcoin has proved these sceptics wrong because it has kept attracting personal and institutional investors. The decentralised nature of Bitcoin is what distinguishes it from other crypto and fiat currencies.

Bitcoin has helped individuals and businesses to build their finances, however, the effect of Bitcoin on the economy of nations is still sketchy. El Salvador is a case study of how Bitcoin can affect an economy, but we still need to give the country more time before will begin to evaluate how Bitcoin has contributed to the development of the country's economy.

Most unfriendly have failed to control Bitcoin because of its decentralised nature, but they have started making policies to regulate it. But as much as we keep using decentralised platforms, they might not be able to control Bitcoin.     

People spend money just for sightseeing or tourism. There is no financial gain in visiting tourist sights, yet people still spend money because they see it as entertainment. The belief that people gamble mainly for profit is not totally correct. From observation, many people gamble for money but it is not all gamblers that have such an orientation. The population might be small but people still gamble for fun.

For me, gambling is both for fun and the money. I do not have any intention to go and lose money in the casino because I am not Father Christmas, I intend to make money. However, I do not see gambling as a source of income and I don't gamble with more than what I can afford to lose. If I win it is a lucky day, but if I don't I will comfortably bear the loss.       

You might be right but the idea behind the post is to encourage people to buy Bitcoin when it is cheap and they shouldn't wait until they see that the bull run is close or in the bull run. You will agree that it is better to buy when the price is cheap than when the bull run is already pulling the price high.

I don't also doubt your position that there is still room to buy at the current price and I encourage people who want to buy to do so. Some people might want to buy now because they didn't have money to buy when the price was low, this is understandable. The post is just a reminder that we should prepare to start accumulating instead of waiting for another bull run.

Your story is motivation because you didn't allow your physical challenge to affect your future. Many people in your condition would have been in a state of self-pity, where they just keep on giving excuses and feeling sorry for themselves. But you took time to study how to invest, and you also summoned the courage to invest and it is now bearing good fruit. It is common to see people with disability in my country begging on the street because they feel that they don't have a future. But you are doing everything possible to gain financial stability.

Investing what you can afford to live without is also a piece of good advice because the market is predictable. From the information I have gotten these few years, I think Bitcoin should be seen more as a long-term investment. I pray that you keep making good profits that will make you live a more healthy and more financially stable future.

I have not observed the outcome of my gambling according to the days. Usually, I gamble when I am not at work or free from family activities. But if I ever observe that a specific day doesn't favor my gambling activity, it will not be out of place to avoid those days. People might see it as superstition but if it occurs frequently, there might be a need to rearrange my gambling days. The majority of people I know gamble during weekends, maybe Sunday and Saturday look like a lucky day for many or it could be because it is work-free.

I have observed that the rate of posts on buying Bitcoin in this bull had increased greatly. I once read that people are always attracted to invest in Bitcoin when the price is going high. We see more people buying Bitcoin because of the fear of losing out. I know that we can buy bitcoin at any price we can afford but it seems these investors are more concerned about this year's bull run.

From my little experience with the Bitcoin Investment system, the best time to buy the coin if you are targeting to make a profit in the bull run is during the bear run. The price is cheaper and you can make a good profit within the four-year circle. At this period you don't need to rush to buy because of FOMO but you can comfortably buy at your own pace using the DCA or other strategy that suits you.

My advice is that as you are targeting to sell your coins and make a profit also start planning for accumulation. If you intend to use DCA, start putting things in place on how to set aside funds periodically to buy Bitcoin. It might not be bad to start planning how to get an alternative source of income to enable you to engage in your accumulation process seamlessly. Buying Bitcoin during the bear market should be more appealing than buying when the bull run is already around the corner.

Some people fail to understand that the bull run season is not the ideal time to buy Bitcoin. Indeed, the price of Bitcoin will still appreciate this year and earlier last year but the best time to buy if you want to enjoy the current bull run was before this year. By this time last year, Bitcoin's average price was $23,304.54 and there was no rush to invest in the currency.

We are expecting Bitcoin to get $100k but nothing is certain that it will get to that price, this is why it would have been better if someone bought when it was below the current price. Some investors that bought several years ago have even started selling because it has reached their profit target. As we expect to make a profit in this bull run, there is also a need to start planning for the next bear season.

Bitcoin is still a young Investment that has the potential to grow to an unimaginable height. You still have the chance to invest and make a profit in the future. Even if you don't make so much profit within the present having and bull run, you could hold for another four years. It is better to buy and hold Bitcoin before the halving or bull run year because it will be cheaper. Buying because of FOMO is not the best option but it is still better to be late than to lose out entirely.

I have heard people share the same experience that people thought Bitcoin was too expensive for them to buy. But many of them who were waiting for the price of Bitcoin to go down before they buy have missed out on the chance of making a profit. Many of them don't have any Bitcoin and I am sure they are regretting it.
