Well congratulations, it wasn't really easy to do that especially if you are already addicted to it since your body is the one that is going to find it and you're gonna feel like always wanting it when you stop smoking. It really takes commitment and discipline in order to stop smoking. You are right actually if you're going to make a computation it is probably going to be a huge amount of savings if you're just going to save all of the money that you use on buying cigarettes you probably already save thousands of dollars with that and investing it on Bitcoin would probably double or triple already in months or years of investments.

I know a lot of people who already have a lot of complications in their health and it is because of smoking, also there are some people who have a lot of difficulties and are able to recover most of the people who smoke think that they are just gonna die in the end without even realizing that they are destroying there body and shortening there lifespan on smoking. I have a friend who has major complications already and he said to me that the doctor says that he's lucky because he's not drinking and smoking because it might cause even more complications and it might be difficult for him to recover if his addicted to these bad habits. Our health is probably the best investment that we could make if we dont take care of our health while we still can it is for sure going to be late in the future.

The lowest price was March which I think was around 20k$ the drop last month wasn't probably a big drop the lowest I can remember was around 38k$ which is I think just a correction because of the ETF hype I think but there wasn't really any major drop since the market gain momentum when the price was around 20k$. Personally, I really expect the market price to drop even though the price is 42k$ which already gained a lot because just like I've said the market price was around 20k$ in March last year so we got x2 in almost a year which for sure is a great growth of momentum on the market, But at this time is where a lot of newcomers gain in into cryptocurrency so we could easily expect a lot of FUD in the market especially because of the Bitcoin halving event. Most of the traders are going to expect a huge price increase in the market if the Halving happened but in my opinion, just like in the past halving, there might be no movement or possibly just a huge drop after the event.

Probably not really the best moment to buy as much Bitcoin as you can since when the market was down on around 15k-20k$ in 2022 was the best time to buy and start to accumulate more Bitcoin since that is the lowest price that we've seen. Still with the dollar cost average I would still recommend buying bitcoin and accumulating as much as you can if you are really going to the long term and planning to sell on the Bullrun which i think is around 2025 or 2026.

Well, I dont really understand the main point of the title with the connection to the story, but I guess it is going to make sense because of COVID-19, I mean having some kind of disease that can be easily transmitted are already a thing so for sure being on crowded places most of the time is where you have high chances of getting a disease or a virus. It is probably not a good thing to do for your neighbor to still play on physical casino especially since he already knows that has tuberculosis which can easily be transmitted but I guess he just doesnt care anymore at that point, with the COVID-19 for sure most of the casinos increase their security when it comes to places like this especially where most of the player are big shots, probably VIPs are separated and all of the people are tested before even they can go in on casinos.

Online gambling is already a thing at this point, it was actually really convenient and I guess there are a lot more people who preferred it more than going to a casino since most of the people that I know are just lazy and just doesnt have a lot of social battery. Your right for sure it is a safe way to avoid getting some kind of virus in crowded places like casinos.

Dont expect anything probably nothing is going to happen in the Bitcoin halving well might have a few spikes in the market price but now I'm even expecting a huge drop in the market. Most of the traders are probably going to expect a huge price spike at that time but most of the time there where probably no movement but down. Might be the effect that people are expecting the market price to skyrocket because of the event but for those people who already have accumulated a lot of Bitcoin it's probably a good time to sell and take profit if the market spikes so for some investors that is just starting to accumulate it is kinda late since there are already some hype in the market.

The drop in the market price happened a lot in the past halving, so might as well expect it already my strategy is still the same Dollar cost averaging and continuing to accumulate Bitcoin even at any market price and I doesnt really care what is the market price at the Bitcoin halving because I'm always focusing on the goal on Bullrun which is probably going to happen at 2025 or 2026, so I'm prepared to hold even for years or probably might not even sell in the Bullrun but still see how far Bitcoin is going to reach just looking how the Bitcoin market price skyrocket in the past years we could easily see how fast the Bitcoin halving grow. Also it might be late but there are still a lot of cryptocurrencies that is also going to skyrocket might be more risky but a small investment in them could be huge as well, especially on Bullrun.

Hindi naman ito makakaapekto dahil for sure hindi naman malaki ang mga group ng mga Bitcoin dito sa ating bansa i mean duda rin naman ako na mayroong susuporta pagdating sa mga politiko pero siguro possible nga yung ganun lalo na if talagang mayroon silang pangako na susuportahan ang crytpocurrency at Bitcoin possible talaga na siya ang susuportahan naten pagdating ng eleksyon.

Pagdating sa adaptation for sure patulong lang na mangyayari yan dahil mga company naman ang nagaadapt pati ang mga tao, so for sure lalo na at popular na ang cryptocurrency dahil sa mga nakaraang Bullrun ay dadami talaga ang mga tao na gumagamit ng cryptocurrency dito sa ating bansa and hindi na yan maaapektuhan kung meron mang epekto for sure hindi yun major like mahihinto ang adaptasyon or depende nalang din siguro if yung mananalo ay ibaban ang cryptocurrency sa bansa naten.

Mahirap na talaga na magtiwala tayo sa mga politiko if matapos na ang term in PBBM which for sure hindi na siya mananalo next term dahil para saken wala naman siyang nagagawa pang major talaga para sa bansa, sana lang talaga may tumakbo na maganda ang gagawin swertehin man lang tayo sa Presidente.

I dont know how we are going to remove fiat money from our life especially because we are being run by the government which only supports fiat money sure it is because it is money that they just can manipulate, I mean they could easily print more money at any time they want and then inflation hit just like that it doesnt really matter what its effect on use, inflation is just going to hit and make us broke so obviously Bitcoin which is a digital gold is actually a good way to store value in the future.

Probably the way I see things in the future is both fiat and Bitcoin are still going to exist but Bitcoin is just going to be huge for most countries or even around the world where it is already used in our everyday life since it is already adapted in a lot of countries to the point where even small stores are already accepting Bitcoin kinda similar to e-wallets that we use to pay online which is already accepted in a lot of stores. Probably cash is still going to exist but everyone is just using Bitcoin as a form of payment.

When the Bitcoin is already mine we dont really know how it is going to happen but in the future upgrades in the network for sure are going to be a thing for fast transactions and low to zero fees. Also, volatile market prices could be a thing that is probably going to make it great as an investment.

I mean hindi talaga praktikal kung ganun ang gagawin naten, sa tagal ko naman sa cryptocurrency dati kahit malaki ang kita sa mga projects, bountry, signature, trades, cryptocurrency investment etc. ay hindi pa naman nasubukan na magquit sa pinaka fulltime job kahit ngayon dahil nakakatakot kung dun mo lang ilalagay ang sarili mo lalo na, ang cryptocurrency ay isa sa pinakarisky na investment naten so possible talaga na ang mangyayari lang ang matalo tayo sa trade makikita naten madalas sa social media ang mga full time trader madalas natatalo sila ng sobrang laking pera lalo na kapag mayroong malaking movement sa market.

Masokey pa rin na mayroon tayon maraming sources of income naten, dahil kung ganun kahit mawala man tayo sa full time job naten or sa cryptocurrency ay mayroon pa rin tayong income, dahil mahirap mawalan ng income dahil ang spendings naten hindi naman nawawala yan araw araw gumagastos tayo kaya dapat masmalaki ang income naten sa spendings naten magagawa lang naten yan if marami tayong sources of income.

Atsome point kaya naman talaga na magdaily trading pero mahirap lang talaga dahil kelangan mong bantayan ang market, sobrang stressful nyanlalo na at kelangan mong kumita talaga dahil alam mo na yun lang ang income mo, kahit na marami kang savings if lagi kang matatalo sa trade eventually mauubos din yan, I mean maaari ngang maubos agad yan if nagfufutures pa lalo na kung nagiging greedy pa tayo.

I mean most of the time this is probably what is going to happen since we are going to regret it in the end when we gamble so we surely hate ourselves when we lose and have a lot of regrets about gambling. For sure most of us as well are saying that you are very unlucky if you lose a bet right, and that is just it we are just unlucky to win and we are going to end ourselves that time.

Most of the time I have a lot of regrets about making a huge bet, but at this time it doesnt happen very often since I already know before even I start to gamble or create a bet, I already set up my mind that my bet is going to lose for sure and I'm gambling only just for entertainment and for fun not really because I wanted to win When I'm doing it most of the time, I could easily avoid being frustrated on my game and getting a good game if I win the be.

Probably one of the worst experience is just losing hundreds of dollars in gambling, I mean it seems to be working first on my experience and few rolls/bets, then all of a sudden just completely lose my it and my momentum is just gone a consecutive lose streak losing a hundred of dollars, which is a huge amount for me that time since i was just a student that time.

Reason lang naman nila syempre to generate ng masmalaking funds ang medjo expectied na rin talaga naten yan lahat naman ng mga pinagkakakitaan naten lalagyan talaga nila ng tax yan ng BIR wala rin tayong magagawa dahil under tayo ng governemnt, lalo na ngayon na trending na rin talaga ang online merchant, talagang compared sa mga nakaraang taon ay dumami na talaga ang mga online sellers naten lalo na at malakas talaga ngayon ang lazada, shopee ,tiktok shop etc.

Sa mga nagsisimula pa lang mukang excluded pa naman sila sa mga ganitong tax since hindi nga naman makatarungan ito dahil kakasimula mo pa lang naman sa business ay tataxan kana naman, common na rin naman yan lalo na kung malaki na ang business naten at kinikita naten, habang lumalaki ang business mashahabulin talaga tayo ng TAX. common na talaga yan, lalo na na hindi naman talaga kontrolado at natataxan madalas lalo na sa online transactions. Not sure if anong magiging effect neto in the future, siguro hindi naman ito dahilan para magtaas ng presyo ang mga sellers, dahil if titignan naman talaga naten ay mura talaga ang mga transactions sa online kumpara sa mga store prices.

For some it might be okay to do so since it would just like selling your Bitcoin and then using that money to buy things that you wanted, but on the other hand that just means you are selling your Bitcoin which means that you might be selling it at a lose unless your selling it or your buying it when the market price skyrocket to the moon unlike the price when you bought it. For a time buy it probably wouldn't really hurt, but if you're going to use Bitcoin as your daily payment method for most of things that might not work, considering the fees in the mempool every transaction could potentially cost a huge payment of fee, especially on congested network so using Bitcoin at that time might not be a good idea, also congested network for sure is a problem of Bitcoin since it just limits our transaction if the fees are huge we cannot do any transaction if the transaction is already fee cost is already half of the transaction.

To be honest Bitcoin is not really ready as a digital payment or something that we could use on a daily basis, in my opinion, Bitcoin is great as an investment right now just because of its volatile market price and the potential profit that we might get in the future, it might get better in the future for sure because there are probably going to be a lot of upgrades in the network soon as Bitcoin continues to grow over time, but right now it is still now ready.

Obviously, advertisements for people that are related to cryptocurrency someone who searches cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, etc. probably if you trade or search this thing algorithms could easily kick in on your socials, Also there is a huge following on Twitter or X for cryptocurrency-related projects something like NFTs, pages, project, etc. that's include gambling website as well, they could easily promote there a casino on X easily and other social media as well to gain a good amount of following and users.

Signature campaigns here in the forum are also a marketing and huge advertisement for them since all of the users here are already familiar with or use cryptocurrency so having a campaign in the forum could be huge for gaining users and promoting. There are still other programs like bonuses on their website, we also have contests even here in the forum some gambling websites do art contests or even referral programs on their websites.

For the most part, it doesnt really seem to be effective but I have an experience in marketing and promoting advertising and It was really a huge help for the most part, you might think that it wasn't really a big help but if you understand these thinks it is actually a huge help and looking at the data you can easily see how many users you could gain on a campaign if it is actually effective or not.

Probably no one could actually do that as a career forever because if you're going to do that eventually you're going to lose your money in the end, there are some people that is so lucky as I heard on your videos were very lucky not losing on some casino bet to the point where the casino is the one who is inviting him already to play on this place, the casino is hoping that he would lose his millions of dollars on gambling but that really didn't happened since his just very lucky continue on winning.

But for sure winning millions in casinos you're already set on making some investment for sure, and for sure there are some that have a successful run on gambling but the best thing that they are going to do is to quit gambling at some point if they already win a huge amount because they are still risking their money if they are still going to continue gambling right? so the best move is to stop gambling already and put that money into something that is actually going to give income actually.

Yes there are some people who did it for sure, but it doesnt mean that it is going to happen to you as well, the chances are very low considering gambling is just a very risky thing to do on your money making it a career just seems impossible.

Might be better if we already have a multiple sources of income before even stating on investing on Bitcoin but for sure there are still some people that is investing on cryptocurrency that only have it as the only investment. Probably risking everything on cryptocurrency, i dont really blame them since when im a newbie that is what I do as well putting and risking everything on cryptocurrency without even realizing how risky cryptocurrency is, I just started to realize it on experience on investing in vryptocurrency when the market started to drop and  i realize the market cycle the bullrun and bear market. With that I start saving and investing on my financial foundation so that even if cryptocurrency fails I still have a backup plan and i could easily recover.

It was still going to depend on the situation in some games, for in some NBA games like Stephen Curry there are probably a lot of people that like him as a player but if you're going to gamble and make a bet on it, I don't really think that Stephen Curry could actually win the finals right now right since there are a lot of issues on their team right now and probably consecutive lose in the previous lose could be another indication for some betters. Also, you can see how great the stats of the other team are so you can easily analyze how it might turn out in the end.

I mean that would make sense especially if you are really emotional then you would probably end up losing a lot if you let your emotions especially if you are gambling because it could easily affect how you do things and your strategy for winning and end up making a lot of wrong decisions in the end. It was very important to control your emotions on gambling because you could lose everything on it, if your emotions spiked you might easily bet all in when you are on a lose streak you could easily get frustrated if that is happening, and not staying calm could cause you a lot.

Probably my strategy here is not really expecting to win, since most of the time for sure your just going to lose your money on casino and gambling website, it will become easy for you to take that lose if your already expecting it and the other way around if your always expecting you win it might avoid having impulsive decision that could make you lose some bets.

We are probably the same since in the beginnings of cryptocurrency there are a lot of things that I really realized as well, in the past years on my investment I ended up selling some of my investments just because I really needed that money for some reason, there are for sure a lot of times that you're gonna end up forced to sell your investment in cryptocurrency just because you just doesnt have a source of income or probably income that is enough to sustain you, that is the reason why a lot of investors are going to recommend you to only invest a small percentage of your assets on cryptocurrency, before even starting or thinking on investing on cryptocurrency or Bitcoin just main sure that you are already well equipped with your funds and saving, and you already have the financial foundation for that, something like emergency saving, education, insurance and many more.

If you already have that secured you not gonna end up just selling your investment at the wrong timing or worst case at a lose because you are being forced to sell your cryptocurrency because you just really needed that money.

Probably you just get hooked on it after winning and losing which just leads you to put much more money into it, I mean we shouldn't expect anything from gambling for sure we should just treat it as something like entertainment since that it probably is if we are going to treat it as something as an income something could easily go wrong for sure. For sure a lot of us here are not going to recommend gambling using loan money for sure because that is just a big risk putting a loan money, especially on something that is just very risky like gambling because easily you could lose that money here in just a flash.

I've done some gambling and even now i gamble sometimes but never really gamble a huge amount of money, probably because i learn a lot of things when it comes to investment, for me its important to be a financial literate and continue to learn how you are going to handle and manage your money, because if you just dont know these kind of things you might end up gambling your money right, the time when i start to learn financial things is when I change my mindset on how i see money and investment.

I mean if they are already an addict that's is for sure going to be difficult because if you're already a gambling addict you already deep on it and In my opinion all of the things that you have said are not going to work if that is just what you're going to do, however, if you're just talking about the method of being harsh or soft for sure the best way to do here is just be soft show some low and make them feel that you are on their side at this situation even though it is probably going to be a huge journey for them.

There's probably no way to help them unless they are the ones that are going to decide that they dont want it anymore, all of the addicts that I know want to stop but they just can't stop because it's not that easy, and it's a long process. It would take commitment and process in order to fix their problem probably better to undergo a certain program where you slowly fix things, like slowly reducing your gambling until you completely get rid of it. Still, I just dont see how using force is going to be a good way of helping them since it might just lead to a bigger issue in the future.

Kaya kahit ako natakot na rin ako maglagay ng funds sa coins.ph eh kase bukod sa mayroon din akong naipit na maliit na funds marami din akong mga nakilala na nafreeze ang account noon kaya naghanap na talaga ako ng alternative halos lahat ng transactions ko kapag papunta na sa bank sa P2P ko nalang dinadaan or ung mga ibang transactions sa Binance ko nalang talaga nilalagay, for Bitcoin sa electrum lang talaga para safe na rin kahit papano. Iwas na rin talaga ako sa coins.ph lalo na kapag kung saan saan galing ung mga transactions mo pwede ka nila imark as suspicious etc. something like that then worst case baka hindi mo na makuha ung perang pinagpaguran mo.

Sobrang laki ng perang naipit sayo kabayan isipin mo 30k Iphone na yun ah  tapos ganun ganun lang ifefreeze nila yung account naten, kahit ako noon napagod na lang din ako kakaemail sa coins.ph since hindi naman masyadong kalakihan acount 3k lang ata yung naipit kung amount dun sa coins.ph ko pero malaki pa rin yun kung iisipin marami ka ng mabibili din sa 3k. Iwas na lang talaga tayo sa mga custodial wallet na may mga ganitong history.

I mean in the end, we have nothing to blame on this but ourselves since we are the ones who make the decision, I get your point here where gambling is not really a bad thing to anyone, in my perspective gambling is entertainment and yes for sure it is not something that is totally bad depends on how you're going to gamble, you could totally gamble responsible and moderately and not get any problems or probably even win sometimes. But I guess the problem here is just how people see gamble just like what you have said there are people who win a huge amount on a gamble and change their life here which is for sure not something that you might want to try on a gamble because this surely involves some luck not just something that has some kind of blueprint in order to win. Gambling is for sure not the quick way to get rich, maybe because you could easily get rich on gamble if you are lucky but it might be the other way around if you're not careful, so just dont look at gamble as something that you could use as an income or something where you could earn a huge amount of money easily since it is for sure a double edge sword that could easily destroy your life.

If you already have the money put it on some kind of investment like cryptocurrency for sure, or do a legitimate business that could give you income, we already know how risky gambling is so just dont put your money on it before you regret it, we already witness a lot of people destroy there life on gambling at least dont go all in on gambling, invest on something like real estate, apartments, stocks, cryptocurrency, etc. which will make more sense.
