Titanium is just as good as Stainless steel.

It all comes down to preference and affordability. I think one of the reasons stainless steel has been recommended as good for seed phrase backup is because of its affordability. Besides to make titanium useful for extreme application it has to be alloyed with aluminum. Titanium aluminide is the material used for extreme applications.

Feel free to use whatever works for you. The goal is to ensure that your seed phrase is safe and doesn't ever fall into the wrong hands

Ideally, my answer to this question would be that the gambler should cash out and go home. It seems like the perfectly normal thing to do however for me I would keep playing. Since I have been lucky so far I may have a bigger look so to keep playing would be what would make logical sense for me. I will willingly accept the risk that is involved in keeping playing and be fine with the outcome. Please note that I'll do this for games were I have experience in and I am familiar with. For unfamiliar games where I win at first play, I'll withdraw the winnings and leave.

If there ever comes a day where my significant other tells me that I should watch my gambling activity or I need to quit it then I know that I have been over gambling and it is affecting my relationship and other aspect of my life. This is a very good sign that the individual is addicted to gambling and needs to stop it immediately. But you must know that quitting gambling is not as drinking water and dropping the cup. It is harder than just saying you have to quit. If such a partner would be kind enough to assist me on the journey to quitting gambling, that is the fastest way out.

Yes.
Slots a game of luck. To support the point you have made, forget about all those strategies that are said is involved in winning. They don't work. Imagine for a minute that the supposed strategy works and every gambler uses them and they win. Soon enough the casino will run out of business. They can never let this happen.

I am a grown assed human.
My parents doesn't have to know my activities. Besides I moved out many years ago.
What I think I owe them now is respect by not bringing shame to their name through irresponsible gambling, like going into debts, getting fired from place of work because of my gambling habits, and other negative ills associated with gambling.

Most trading signals groups are a scam. If they claim to be making as much money from trading as they want us to believe why do they have people paying for the signals? Why do they also kick out anyone from their group who calls them out? Those 5 star reviews you see are fake. Theyhave either paid people off to give those reviews or they did it themselves using a different account.

The best signals you can have if the one you get yourself through research.

Respectfully, I would not have given my wife half of my bitcoin investment. What I would have done will be to teach her about Bitcoin and when I feel that she is ready enough I would let her know about my seed phrase. We both would own the wallet and have a plan to keep investing in it. What I feel that having a separate wallet from your wife is just cumbersome one wallet for the family is okay as long as both the husband and wife are on the same page.



It may be difficult to convince a human who is conservative and close-minded about Bitcoin. I have met males who didn't want to hear jack about Bitcoin.

It is too early. I don't like these comparison between a financial asset that is barely 20years old with other financial assets that is a 100plus year old. The performance of both will be different. They will react differently to different situations and circumstances. Unlike gold and stocks which are centralized Bitcoin is not.

If you have read the book rich Dad poor Dad by Robert kiyosaki, you would learn that it is all about creating a mindset of productivity and the shift from the traditional path of going to school, graduating with good grades, and then getting a job. The book sets the young star apart to cultivate a productive mindset such that you are able to thrive in the midst of unemployment because you see the problems in your immediate society and you're able to create a solution out of it and monetize that solution. There are many grade books that encourages young graduates to have a productive mindset and this is one of the best.

Gone are the days when you rely on the government. There's so much that can be accomplished but the government will hold you down with their rules and regulations as you may not be able to spread your wings and fly as you want to if you were your own boss.

We love more males sports. It has been right from time immemorial before women's sports. It is highly talked about, highly viewed, highly bet on.

There are more men's game than female's. Check any casino website even when Chelsea female team and Manchester United female are playing, you'll never find them on the sports betting site.

Good observations and to add to what you have said about the negative effects of gambling I would say that they are even worse negative effects gambling has than you have mentioned. What even pains me the most is that it is the younger generation, the millennials that are hooked on this addiction and it doesn't seem like we are stopping anytime soon.

On the internet gambling is glorified and the effects of it is toned down this is the world that we live in. The best anybody can do for himself is to talk to gamblers around them who are addicted and find a way to help them.

I don't know whether I should classify Drake as a compulsive Gambler or as someone who gambles for fun. You know when you are rich and have a lot of money people cannot tell if you are addicted to gambling or not. In fact their judgement of you is lenience because of course you have the money and you can do whatever you want to do with it.

It is his loss not ours. I know I wouldn't bet $850k on a game.

This is very hilarious. Imagine gambler's having this sort of logical and cognitive thinking but when it comes to placing bets they become emotional and irrational in their thoughts. Well it is being said that friends of a feather flock together therefore you are not far from the truth. A gambler who avoids his "friends" after a win knows that they are no friends at all. A friend is someone you call to celebrate with you after a win not someone you run away from.

My answer to your question on trust is yes. I can trust my immediate family member and my wife. Based on my upbringing and my relationship with my sibling and what we have been through, I know that they are trustworthy. As for my wife, well of course she's my wife I got married to her in the first place because should anything happen to me she's the first person that will be called so yes I can trust her.

Yes. My wife and my immediate youger sibling. Aside these people, I do not trust any other person. My ATM pin and my seed phrase will be safe with them because they have knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I read through the thread and although I am not able to give my opinion to your question, this last paragraph got me. I want to ask that assuming this were some kind of attack as you have mentioned what are some of the measures you would have implemented to counteract it. What proactive steps would you have taken to not only halt the ongoing attack but also to establish safeguards that prevent its recurrence in the future?

Interesting viewpoint. When I read the title, I was happy because I thought finally some good news but reading your first sentence has brain me indifferent. Considering now that we have digital nomads and remote workers I can't say that I agree with your statement. What can Europe do about this? If people are not looking for employment doesn't it mean that they are doing okay? Because there is no mention that the government is providing any support funds for them help. It is a bit confusing.

One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.

If you are addicted seek a solution and not a substitution or an alternative addiction. In the short-term a cross addiction Mason to alleviate the mane addiction problem but if you look at it critically it is really solving nothing you are just stuck in one loop of addiction. We should always consider the long-term effect of addictions and not just the short-term relief we get when we get a replacement addiction.

This did not particularly happen to me but to someone who is very close. He is a gambler an addict at that and was somehow employed in the finance department of his company. Gamblers and finance or money do not mix and because he did not disclose his gambling problem to his employers no one knew how much he suffered from this addiction. This person would alter financial accounts to embezzle money just to fulfill his gambling urge. He continued stealing from the organisation coffers until an audit was made and it was noticed that monies were missing and he was the main suspect. He was later arrested and  through family intervention he was released and fired from his workplace. His family made effort to get him to be rehabilitated and I think he's making good progress right now.
