421  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 06, 2023, 08:07:05 PM
It's a kid losing his school fees to gambling the other day and then we have a thread for a crying woman for a lost bet to the same gambling platform hehe. This is another instance which proves that woman cannot take Ls well. It's crazy how they need to post these things on social media instead of taking the loss on the chin and take accountability silently.

This is what happens to people that think that they can make profit from gambling. If you look at the statement written there, the last said that she has plans for the money that she expected to win. Can you imagine that planning for something that is under probability and a game of luck.

She forgot to into consideration that her chances of winning the game is 50-50. This is what addiction can make someone do because that gambler will forget to understand that gambling is for fun and that there is no way one can win the house hedge. Only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose so that you don't end up in frustration after a big loss.
Having a plan to get money from gambling is indeed a very unnatural thing to do as you said that in gambling it is only about luck so if we have luck then we can easily win at gambling, but in my opinion it is very rare for people who gamble to be able to know when they get good luck. You are right, we can bet with money that we can afford to lose because we never know when luck in gambling is on our side.

just went through what 1miau wrote and it's very nice, but you don't use the same approach in all situations especially if you are well-experienced in trading and investment. For me who is experienced, I can't expect myself to be alone without trading, it will even be boring to me.

Of course, what I do is plan on the total crypto asset. I often commit just between 20-25% of my crypto assets to trading, while the huge rest are being held securely elsewhere.
For sure everyone cannot do the same thing in this space, I'm a trader and I'm a Bitcoin investor/holder too and I'm seeing the positive results doing both because it took me time and dedication to arrive at it, so I'm fine with it.

People can choose to do only Hodl,  trade, or even do both depending on the one that gives you the positive result.
However, the matter is that whichever route you find most suitable for you to successfully get to your destination don't hesitate to use it, in the end, the goal is to become successful in this space.
It's really a very good thing if you can do both of these things simultaneously because you can get profits from trading and holding. Of course you have very good experience in this field so you can do it well.  Yes, I really agree with you, whatever we choose, it would be better if we do it consistently so that we can get satisfactory results from what we have done.
423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: October 06, 2023, 03:19:42 AM
I dont believe on beginners luck considering that gambling could really be only having that 2 possible outcome which is losing and winning and on the time that you are just starting gambling then normally you would really be choosing in between two possible options on which you would really be able to win or having those sidebets which neither those things could reach out or not. It does really depend on the situation on which neither you would really be making yourself that impulsive after that or you would really be still on your control on the time that you would be able to have your first win.
In my case then im not really that much that too positive towards gambling but rather it is really just solely just for fun. There are really just those people who are really setting out their standards
even if its already unrealistic and this is where people would start to admit out that they have done something wrong.
In gambling, you really rely on luck, but if someone is gambling for the first time and they win, I think this is very rare and even if there is, of course they have to be able to control themselves in playing the game so as not to make the game you are playing end quickly. and you can't enjoy it. Gambling is just for fun, only some people can do it because they can know when they are doing it and when they should stop and of course they will not spend their money more than they have set for gambling.
424  Economy / Speculation / Re: take advantage of opportunities on: October 06, 2023, 02:58:31 AM
So many people had these same opportunities years back to make an investment in bitcoin yet they are maybe afraid of taking risk, some couldn't take their time to study and research on what this digital currency could contain, we are placed by divers development each season, if you can invest today, then it's never too late to do so, also we need to have patience with the way we hodl the crypto investment made, life is not about rush, we need to give every investments time to mature for profitability.
To be able to achieve success, we must be able to take advantage of existing opportunities and take risks and we must truly understand this so that we are not wrong in determining the choice we will choose. I really agree with you that it is never too late to start this because we we can learn it slowly and the most important thing is that we do it consistently so we can get maximum results from what we have done.
425  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 06, 2023, 02:43:40 AM
This is arguable and not necessarily accurate. Women are extravagant in their spending just as men. This isn’t a gender thing, it’s simply depends on the individual and how adept he/she is at managing money.
I’ve met both men and women who are wild and carefree about the way they spend money so it’s not entirely a fact that women are more careful with money than men are.

Also, with crude notions like this, it’s shouldn’t be surprising to see men being labeled as being cheap or a miser when they’re just being careful with spending.
Cultural, geographical and ideological differences are just some of the factors that seems to influence notions like these.

In my opinion there are also people who spend money easily because it is very easy for them to get money and they spend money the same way and I think spending money doesn't affect women or men. You are right in that this has a big influence on each individual's financial management because each person has their own way of managing their finances so they are very calculating in spending their money.
426  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How I heard about Bitcoin and my experience on it on: October 06, 2023, 02:22:05 AM
Some people got the same trauma too but nevertheless able to conquer their fear of missing out. If only I was able to be knowledgeable during that time like yours, I would definitely kick off some time to keep it or become more aggressive than usual. Well its not always comes to that but we can always change that and believe once again. Anyway I like your conviction mate, keep it up. In bitcoin we trust!
Well, there are times like that where we could have made it but didn't for some reason. Although, some things are not meant to be or meant to happen as we expected or didn't expected. I can relate the same as you when the price of Bitcoin reached its new all time high but didn't have any BTC at all because I needed money for important reason like daily needs and for emergencies. If I didn't experienced it before then I would have save my bitcoin on that day.
In investing, of course we have experienced things that we never expected, of course this will make us choose to sell it even though the price at that time is not high, but in my opinion it would be better for us to invest, we have to leave money for our needs and needs that we cannot afford. we think because if we invest all the money we have, this will make it difficult if we have needs that we cannot foresee. I have also felt this way, but now I will improve my strategy in investing.
427  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Always ask questions, it doesn't make you a fool. on: October 04, 2023, 01:09:55 PM
It's more than foolish if you don't read, search to find answers before you ask questions.

If you always ask questions without your due diligent research, it's foolish because I am doubtful you will read any replies on your questions. Being lazy enough to not search that is enough to don't read any reply.

The thread Newbies - Read before posting is for lazy members who don't search but always ask.

Asking questions is convenient but most of us forget to do our own search since asking questions will let others do the task for us.  I am not against asking questions but we should at least do our best to search and research for answers.  It is way better to ask questions to verify if our found knowledge is a fact or a myth than asking questions and letting others do the research for us. Letting others do the task for us is plain laziness.

Sadly in this forum, many are too lazy to search for an answer and yes, the worst thing is they don't even bother reading replies. Making a fool of the person who genuinely trying to provide an answer to the person's querry.
I really agree with you, before choosing to ask other people, it would be better for us to look for answers to the questions we have, because it could be that the person who answers the questions we give just answers casually and not based on their knowledge and this will certainly make us wrong in finding the answer to our question, but if we have found out for ourselves about the question we have then we can compare it with the answer we got from the person we asked.
I think those who have lied to other people with the answers they give are a very bad example for anyone. You are right in looking for answers to the questions we have. It would be better for us to try it ourselves first and then compare it with the answers we get from other people.
428  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Bitcoin really risky as they say? on: October 04, 2023, 12:53:53 PM
A risk taker is a money maker. Bitcoin tends to be risky in all ramifications either you holding (using trusted and secured wallets with strong password in order to avoid penetration by other parties) or trading (which entails the use of technicals analysis, price action and indicators). But the risk can be minimise if you are loaded with the appropriate information (knowledgeable and experienced).

In a nutshell, if you are knowledgeable about bitcoin no matter how risky it is, you can always navigate your way out which will at last be advantageous to you.
Yes, you are right, to be able to minimize the risks we face, we must have good knowledge about Bitcoin so that we can still handle it if something happens that we don't want, but in my opinion, behind all the risks we face, of course we can make profits as we hope. So before we start with a large amount of investment, we need to get used to small amounts so that we can understand it well and then try with whatever amount we want.
429  Economy / Economics / Re: Ideas without action: An overview of a successful entrepreneur and a dreamer. on: October 04, 2023, 06:12:14 AM
The country where I live has a good old saying ''think positively to receive positivity''
(...)I know that successful people need to go through different lessons of failure until they learn the lesson.
And IMO, positivity should be understood more through action, such as having a healthy lifestyle in life.
Yes, those are great thoughts about positive issues here. Actually, I feel like life has countless stories, so there are things that have almost become a habit of forgetting. We think about success, and we need to think about the beginning and the journey with it, positivity will help reorient the process. But as a hypothesis about the lack of conviction in the idea, not being able to get what you want is something that I believe is fair here, we simply don't have the ability yet.
The journey to success certainly requires good ideas and we have to be able to carry them out because no matter how good the ideas we have without going through any process then these ideas are not useful for us, but I think to be able to realize the ideas we have we have to go through the existing process so that We achieve success from the ideas we have and we also have to be very confident in the ideas we are going to implement, lest when we run them they only run for a short time and we don't produce anything from them. It would be better for us to review first whether the idea we have is suitable to be implemented and if we experience problems in carrying it out we must be able to solve it well.
430  Economy / Economics / Re: Our future with renewable energy. on: October 04, 2023, 05:49:29 AM
Electric vehicles are currently increasingly being used. Even in my country, infrastructure development for charging electric vehicles continues. And the development is also quite fast. The use of electric vehicles is also believed to reduce carbon emissions in the air. And the conclusion is that currently we are moving towards renewable technology. Years ago we were introduced to energy from sunlight. And these years we have been introduced to a wide variety of electric vehicles. So it is possible that the transition to renewable energy is indeed near. It's just that even distribution of its use will definitely take a long time.
The development of infrastructure for charging electric vehicles will increase people's interest in switching to electric vehicles because it will make it easier for people if they run out of power while traveling, but this requires a process for people who are used to fossil fuel vehicles because if they have to replace their vehicles with Electric vehicles certainly require quite a lot of money. I think this could hinder their distribution.
431  Economy / Economics / Re: Entrepreneurship and women on: October 03, 2023, 03:45:22 PM
A woman can become a great entrepreneur if she gets enough support from her family. We women mean housewives who will work at home and take care of the family beyond that but we don't care, but if women are given enough opportunities then women can move forward a lot. 

Entrepreneurship is not only about men, women are entrepreneurs now as well as men. There are many simple businesses for women that can be easily done by women. A woman can start any online business or offline business if family supports and encourages her.  Nowadays people shop mostly online so if a woman can open a clothing store and if that clothing store provides online and offline buying and selling facilities then I think that woman will achieve success in no time. Women are timid in nature and if encouraged and supported they will do much better than expected.
Having support from other family members will certainly make it easier for women if they have the desire to become entrepreneurs because women are very good at managing finances. In the current era of technological development, it will make it easier for everyone to open an online shop. Of course this can be an option for women who want to be entrepreneurs and also continue to take care of their family members. Of course this is very profitable for their partners because they have additional income.
432  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in bitcoin and forget the investment on: October 03, 2023, 02:57:57 PM
I also think it's better to invest in bitcoin nothing to forget here long term investment in bitcoin will give good returns. Currently, its price has decreased but it will go up again just have to wait patiently even if the investment path fluctuates, a steady return can be obtained from here It is a digital asset primarily cryptocurrency is a network based which is spread over several computers The decentralized structure of this virtual currency is such that no government or central authority can regulate it through legislation. Individuals can do everything on their own as part of an investment plan, or if you want to hold that bitcoin for years to come it can be worth it.
Everyone has their own strategy for investing in Bitcoin, of course they expect profits from the investment they make, some buy and hold it for a long time to make a profit and some follow DCA to make a profit. If we have enough capital to invest in Bitcoin then we can buy it and save it for a long time to get a profit, but if we only have enough income for our needs then we need to save a little from what we need to be able to invest, but according to I if we have the desire to invest in bitcoin then we can start it whenever we want.
433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My regret for not adopting bitcoin earlier. on: October 03, 2023, 01:58:15 PM
If we talk about regrets in the past, we have thousands of regrets, not just bitcoin, but life is always moving forward, the past is the past we cannot change. What is more important is that we do not let the mistakes of the past repeat themselves. Everything is just starting, it is still very early to invest in bitcoin, and whether we really want to correct our mistakes or not is up to us to decide. Don't let us come back here 10 years later to regret it again, it would be a travesty for the world.

Many people also missed bitcoin in the last 10 years but they took the opportunity to fix things, I hope OP will do the same instead of whining and doing nothing.
Missing every opportunity we have will indeed make us regret it and it won't mean anything if we don't fix it because life will continue moving forward. Yes, you are right, don't let this happen again because it will be very painful if it happens a second time, but if we start now it will certainly be better because we already know the strategy that will be used to invest in Bitcoin.
434  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do I need a mentor in my bitcoin journey. on: October 03, 2023, 09:34:16 AM
I have made a bold decision to start my bitcoin journey. But just like every a new born baby needs close care and attention to grow I really don't want to make a mistake in any thing I am doing. I have this question to ask.  
''Is it advisable to to have a mentor who I can always go to as a newbie in the crypto space or I should rely all my knowledge on things I read online for my growth.

Welcome to the bitcointalk Forum. Since you are new to this forum you must first follow the forum rules. If you are interested in learning about Bitcoin and Crypto. So do your own research first because you won't learn anything good when you follow someone else's advice.

I don't need your advice for this. Because observing yourself can be the most experienced. You may prefer Bitcointalk forum to learn. You know the answer as soon as you ask any question. And through that you will get answers to your unknown questions. The more time you spend on this forum the more experienced you will become. Just by your will power.
Doing research first about what we are going to do would be very good because we can find out whether the thing we are going to do is suitable or not, if it is not suitable for us it is better not to do it because it could be a problem and only last a short time no we can't produce anything. If we can observe ourselves, it will be very useful because we can find out what we can do or not. I agree with you that spending a lot of our time on this forum we can get various information that we need.
435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 03, 2023, 08:42:14 AM
There are many tragic stories that occur as a result of considering gambling as a medium that can free themselves from financial problems, most of them forget that being too involved in gambling can make them buried in a huge mountain. When you misunderstand the true meaning of gambling, that's when you will often have problems in life. Everyone really likes this activity for various reasons depending on each individual, but you need to remember, gambling is only a place to have fun, not a place to seek wealth.
Of course, I never gamble to seek wealth, occasionally I gamble but within reasonable limits if I manage to make a small profit I don't continue the game, I will stop and withdraw the profit. but profits don't come every day, I do it at least when I receive a salary and only use 10% of 100% of my salary to gamble if I lose I will stop and not continue to chase my losses because if I continue to chase losses It is not impossible that I will lose my entire salary to gambling, which will of course harm me even more.
Not seeking wealth in gambling is a very good thing to be able to avoid addiction to gambling because if you have experienced addiction to gambling, this will be very bad for us so that we run out of money gambling and cannot fulfill our income. I am very interested in your gambling strategy, you can control yourself in gambling so that you don't take more money than you have determined. You are right if we have experienced defeat in gambling and we are chasing defeat to be able to win, of course this will make our income run out not left.
436  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 02, 2023, 04:11:03 PM
There are many people who manage their family very well even though their income is very low in their personal life
Low for you, doesn't mean it's not enough for someone with an economy like that. A guy wouldn't maintain their low income unless it was at least enough to support his family.
The answer is I don't know, even if you want to ask them, they have the answer and it will sound unreasonable because your lifestyle preferences are different.

You are right that my lifestyle is different from others, but when there are many opinions available, it is much easier to make personal decisions because everyone benefits to some extent by taking advice from many.

Each person finds a place of comfort, so I look for it because if a solution that has been solved in someone else's life works in my life, then surely it can be a good example.
Each person's lifestyle will of course be very different as well as their income, but for those who have a high income, of course they have a different lifestyle from those who earn a small income, so it would be better for us to have a lifestyle that suits our income, not let our income we have cannot be enough to meet our daily needs. In my opinion, it will be very difficult for us to imitate other people's lives, this really depends on how we see the life we live and if we have a modest income, it is better than not having anything to give to their family.
437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: October 02, 2023, 03:35:50 PM
I agree on this. I think greediness is part of a human nature and I believe that we all felt greedy at some point in our life. It is really hard to detach ourselves from greediness, if in the first place, it is considered to be part of us. So, I think this is more of a matter on how we can manage and control our greediness. But again, this is easier said than done because it is difficult to manage greediness. One of the ways that I am seeing to control it is to develop discipline within ourselves. Set limits and boundaries, and know when to stop. Of course, you will not just set this limits, but you have to follow them as it can help you avoid from having huge losses. And yes, I think in the context of gambling, greed is really a bad thing.
You are very right, in terms of controlling yourself it is easier to say but it will be very difficult to do because this will really depend on our own personality and if we want to change these bad habits we have to do it consistently in order to have a good personality in terms of control ourselves. However, in my opinion, greed is very bad in any case and if greed occurs in gambling, it is certainly a very detrimental thing because we will never be able to experience victory in the gambling we do.
438  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be the biggest means of fulfilling dreams in the future. on: October 01, 2023, 09:48:53 AM
It is always better to save your money (extra savings) in Bitcoin than in your bank account. Every person in the world is putting efforts into a safe and secure future for themselves and their family. Bitcoin is providing a way to fulfil your dreams. If you invest in Bitcoin now, you can be rich after ten years. You can be financially stable, in your dream house, living a happy life. For example, imagine a person who invested in Bitcoin from 2011 to 2012 and held it till the last bull run; he became a millionaire from a few hundred dollars in BTC investment. Now imagine the price of Bitcoin after a decade. It surely will change your life if you invest in BTC. Be patient and trust Bitcoin.
Yes, you are right, everyone certainly wants a better life than before and choosing to invest in Bitcoin is indeed a good choice rather than the money you have sitting idle in the bank, but we need to understand it well and use strategies in collecting it. I think no one can determine whether the price of Bitcoin will rise, so it would be better for us to collect and hold it for a long time so that we can feel the benefits of this investment.
439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and gambling which one has done you more harm on: October 01, 2023, 05:37:14 AM
But for me I think gambling is the one that done people more harm than bitcoins investment, because almost every day people gamble with different platforms but its few of people that invest in a day or weekly, I will like us to discuss these.
The answer is crystal clear. When we invest in Bitcoin we're very certain of realizing some returns no matter how long our investment might take. All that is required is to have good knowledge of the market, buy during the bear season and sell during the bull season. While gambling does the opposite, there's no guarantee that we are going to win our bet no matter how skilled or good we are in a particular sport or game, no matter the hours spent in researching, bad days and loss are part of it. Sometimes we might fall into addiction and it could costs us our relationships, jobs and health. So both of them are incomparable and gambling has done more harm than good.
Of course everyone will answer that gambling will be more detrimental and both of these things have a level of risk of losing the money we have, you are right that by investing in bitcoin it takes a long time to get a profit and if the price goes down we can still hold it to be able to get a profit later However, in gambling, if we lose, of course we lose all the money we have, even though there are several types of gambling that we can predict, it doesn't necessarily mean that what we predict is correct and makes us win.
440  Economy / Economics / Re: Recession? How to face It? on: September 30, 2023, 03:52:52 PM
Recently, the economic news media has always been busy with discussions regarding inflation and recession. Because perhaps this is indeed a global problem or a problem that is being faced in many countries.
Actually, news like that has two impacts on news readers. that is
1. Panic and fear
2. Be more alert and make preparations to face the recession itself.
These 2 conditions have become shadows that are quite attached to my mind, and I sometimes reflect on such situations. Panic and fear are clear because I am not from the upper middle class so panic and fear require us to be able to take advantage of the situation while it is still under control. As for preparing oneself for the worst possibility, it is also not fully supported, unstable finances to meet needs cannot guarantee survival longer in the midst of a prolonged recession.

Fear like that is normal, but it doesn't have to be mourned and makes us weak. However, right now we can still do various things and for whatever reason, don't make what we have achieved seem like it was in vain. The global recession will not happen all at once, it will be gradual, and in a gradual process, there will be many ways that both the government and the world can use to get out of the pressure.
Taking advantage of conditions that are still stable is a good way to prepare ourselves to face these two conditions, but it would be better for us to have some income so that we can survive if we have entered these two conditions. Everyone has a different way of dealing with a recession, there are those who think too much about this condition and there are those who live their lives by continuing to work to meet their needs and they will save money to survive this condition, and those who think too much about it will be lazy to do their work. so they don't get the income to be able to meet their needs. In my opinion, when facing conditions like this, we must continue to do what we can to earn income and spend the money we earn well and not use money for needs we don't need.
