501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What contributes to a casual gambler becoming an addicted gambler? on: February 13, 2024, 04:51:50 PM
I agree with everything that you wrote down. One need to see gambling as fun and gamble in the lowest minimal, so that you will not become addicted unknown to you, because that's the worst of all, thinking that you are normal, whereas you have become a chronic addict.

I think greed is another factor that lead gamblers to addiction unknown to them. This is because they will never be satisfied with little wins, and it is from greed, that will lead to loss, and because you are greedy, you will prefer to start chasing your losses instead of letting it go, thinking that you will be able to recover it, and win big with hope.
502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler lost what he couldn't afford to lost and broke his TV after game Lost on: February 13, 2024, 03:18:44 PM
Here in my hood, someone staked $1,000 to a bet with little odds and to all hope that there was no possibilities of him loosing the game but revise be the case that the game got cut off in just 3 minutes for the game over and then he could had cashed his winning.
It is quite unfortunate that he staked above what he could not afford to loose. So out of frustrations and anger he broke his TV on the process.

After his temper became calm, he ended up regretting to had lost his bet and went such a mile of destroying his TV.

He now makes two different lost counts at the caused of his inability to control his gambling emotions and his over confidence to had staked what he can't afford to loosed.

This is why we shouldn't be over confidence with our bet because gamble is all about luck, and there is no guarantee of your lucky day. This should be a lesson for him that it is not all low odds that is likely to win the game. I have seen high odds that wins and brings good profit of it for any gamble that went for it.

Gambling should be seen as fun because it is very easy risky to use as a means to make profit. Only use the amount that you can afford to lose, so that after when you lose, you will be able to control your emotions, instead of getting things more messy for yourself. I hope that the person that you mentioned will have learnt his lesson now, that gambling is not what we should be putting much on due to fake confidence.

Historically, many folks have gotten overly greedy with their bitcoin and they put their bitcoin with third-parties in order to receive interest or yield and then they end up getting fucked.. so frequently it is not worth the risk to be using those kinds of interest bearing products in relation to your bitcoin, unless you can have some confidence that they are not gambling with your BTC too much.. which is truly difficult to assess because sometimes they are lying to you about what they are doing with your BTC in order to earn the yield.
I agree with you. Thanks for the clarification of that word interest, which should be used on third party little additional money to your investment. I don't think why a long term bitcoin investor should have such mindset of keeping his bitcoin investment portfolio with a third party, when bitcoin has given us the opportunity to be our own bank, buy using a self custody wallet to keep our bitcoin for our own safety. The risk of keeping your bitcoin with a third party is higher than the little interest that will be added at the end of whatever period of time was the agreement. This is why a good storage wallet is the best to store our investment over a long period of time so that the compounding value is certain, and there will be no bad news that our investment has been gambled off by the third party. I see anyone that thinks keeping his investment with third party as someone greedy and he does not know that his greed can cost him losing his entire bitcoin kept with third party, which will be the most regretful mistake that person will live with for the rest of his life.

Anyone can still start investing this year or even next year and not be too late, all we are saying is that investing now is the best 👌,  the earlier the better.
It is better for an investor who don't have any bitcoin but have the money to invest should get started immediately, after he has put all the necessary funds needed for him to survive his bitcoin long term journey in place. This is because if he waits longer from now up till next year, his money might have depreciated in value, and currently we have start seeing bitcoin price shooting up again, so it is dangerous because the price might keep going up and not coming down since we are expecting the halving and the bull run. I wouldn't advise a no coiner to wait till next year and buy during the bull run, because the price then might be discouraging and you will only acquire little fraction of bitcoin even though you are going on a long term ride. Who knows what bitcoin price will reach next year.

Moving to another country after winning big in lottery is good but you need to also consider if the country cost of living is expensive, and if there are good jobs there,because you should not expect to live on the $2m to take care of you for the rest of your life in that country without working.

I will stay in my country and invest in various businesses and assets to help me multiply the money. It will be very easy for me to achieve this, because life is not expensive down here.
505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ? Lega Serie A ?? (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2023/2024? on: February 12, 2024, 04:27:24 PM
The first half of the Roma - Inter match was quite interesting but it didn't last long. Inter still destroyed Roma by 4-2.

There is still no change when it comes to Roma's defense. Their defending is still not good enough. This must be one of the main problems De Rossi should be working on. Lautaro Martinez didn't score today maybe but this still didn't affect Inter's productivity even a little bit. Playing as a team means exactly this.  Smiley  Inter completely deserve the Serie A championship this season.

I expected this result as I said, Inter are first in the table and it`s no coincidence I would say
indeed Roma managed to score two goals and not make a total fool of themselves, but it was an obvious result that was almost taken for granted, I feel sorry for the dreamers
Inter remains the strongest team in Italy so far this season, and it will be hard for any club to win them. Inter will becoming the winner this season,and there is nothing anyone can do about it. This is because they keep on adding more points to their points,and they hardly drop points.

Inter have played with the big teams that would have been a challenge to them, and they won most of them,so they are only left with clubs that are small but these small clubs sometimes make winning difficult to the big clubs.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 11, 2024, 06:25:55 PM
Man United is clearly the favorite in this match, because their performance has started to improve with wins in the previous match. Moreover, the depth of Man United's squad is very mature because of the presence of Casemiro again in midfield.
It is possible that if they lose, Aston Villa will drop from the top 5 position, their current burden is very heavy because they have to remain in the top 5 standings in order to qualify for the European league and champions league.
At the end of the first half, Manchester United is having the 3 points of the match by a goal scored against Aston Villa in the 17 mins of play. But currently, in the second half, the scoreline changed to be 1:1

Aston Villa has the ball possession of the match because it is their home match. As it is, in the second half, the match can turn to their favor by winning or drawing the match. Aston Villa can't lose their stay in the FA Cup and also lose out their stay in top 4 position of the PL table. That's doesn't make sense
MacTominay has scored with a good header after he received a cross that came straight to his head. On the 86th minutes of the game, Manchester united took the lead, after much pressure which they had from the host.

Manchester united should be able to defend this goal, so that they can win all three points from the host since the have the upper hand of winning the game. We are in the extra six minutes added time, and it is still Aston Villa 1-2 M.United
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you quit gambling for a friend? on: February 11, 2024, 02:55:06 PM
From what I understand, the addicted person did not get addicted on the few times that they do have a get together poker game. He got addicted on his own, which means he has being gambling on his own without their knowledge, and this was why it took them some time before they discovered that he has become addicted.

Therefore, if his friends choose to give up gambling, for his sake, the addicted gambler will still be gambling on his own and what they planned to achieve, which was to help him from his addiction will not be achieved, which makes it not worth sacrificing your pleasure for.

I will not accept that suggestion, because it is only the addicted person that can determine to stop gambling on his own, for some reasons. It is better to still gamble with him but always advise him and see how you can help him out, or seek help for him from somewhere.

Have a few BTC wallets , without passwords unfortunately…. Among others the 31K … darned , wish I had the password …
Anyway is there anyone here with tips , and I don’t mean password hashing , cause did that , been there …
Any tips regarding passwords would be nice ! Also have 4250 btc wallet , 1730 btc , 844 , 1225 , 109 844 , 26 etc etc etc …
Any information is appreciated !
Which wallet do you have those coins in. If you have the seed phrase of the wallet, you can import the seed phrase to a new wallet to access your wallet.

If you are using electrum wallet, create a new electrum wallet and import the old wallet seed phrase to the new one. If you don't have the seed phrase, it means that you will not have access to those bitcoin anymore, until you can get the password.
509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the benefits of cryptocurrency to the illiterate people on: February 10, 2024, 09:39:19 PM

Bitcoin precisely can be introduced to the illetrates ones by teaching them the basic knowledge of bitcoin. Teaching them how to invest in bitcoin will be a good help to them, since inflation is eaten up the value of our currency. The illetrates do have savings, some illetrates are rich and well to do, especially the ones in business.


Wow! In your opinion, are illiterate people capable of running a business? Perhaps yes, by farming or something similar. But I haven't met such people. In my opinion, people capable of organizing their businesses are talented and have skills that appear after education. But I won’t argue; perhaps you’ve met such people.
But how can these people, without literacy, understand where and how to enter at least the seed phrase from the wallet?
If a person is illiterate, Bitcoin will not improve his life until he matures. Usually, such people have a low level of mental development, so Bitcoin is useless for them.

Yes, I am also surprised by their logic. Most illiterate people have low economic capacity so they do not have sufficient ability to invest. Then how will they use a computer when they can't read, illiterate people usually have low intelligence and it is very difficult to teach about computers if they can't distinguish letters. Ah. they're just people who are afraid of having different opinions, maybe
They are illetrate people don't mean that they don't have the brain to run a business and become successful in it. They are illetrates don't mean that they don't know money or that they cannot buy whatever they want in the market and take back their balances. They only cannot read and write because they were not thought on how to read and write. It doesn't mean that their brain is not functioning.

Down here in my country, there are a lot of illetrate people who own small scale businesses that they run and use that to take care of their responsibility and even train their children to school. There are jobs for the illetrate people, so they can have someone to guide them and use some pictures to teach them how to go about investing. I have been to the bank several time, that people will come to me to help them write on their withdrawal slip, their details and how much that they are willing to withdraw. Some of them sign their signatures and some of them uses their finger print to withdraw their cash.

In early 70s and 80s, farmers were the ones that do make good amount of money in the country, and most of these farmers are illetrates. But they sell their farm produces and use the money to invest in landed properties. Some illetrates have houses that they built through family. So because you are an illetrate does not mean that when you are destiny to be rich, illetracy will steal that from you. You will still be rich. I have seen an illetrate woman that was desperate to know how to read and write, and she achieved it by having a lesson teacher that comes home to teach her.

So whoever have the passion and zeal in invest in bitcoin will do that by learning it so that he can invest and benefit from bitcoin. The illetrate people have children that they sent to scholl, those children can help them out when they it is comes to reading and writing. As an illetrate, you would not go and start up a business that is bigger than you, but a small business that you can understand how to run. They are many people like that down here in my country who are illetrates but they are doing business that do not need you to be writing and reading all the time.

Real humiliated Girona... I think that after this game Real will have no more competitors in La Liga... Hardly anyone can now be competitors for them in the standings... Now for Girona the main task will be to stay in the Champions League zone... If now they are in crisis, Barcelona and Atletico will be able to move them...
Girona might have no place in the title race anymore, because they have shown that they might not be capable of competing with Real Madrid in winning the title due to their unseriousness and lack of motivation in today's match.

Real Madrid will be the winner because their performance is outstanding, and we see how serious they are, when they are playing important matches that needs to be won. If not that Loselu lost his penalty, the game would have ended 5-0.
511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 10, 2024, 05:46:10 PM
The Real Madrid vs Girona match is very exciting to watch, where both teams will show their best performance to get 3 points in this match. Real Madrid indeed performs much better than Girona, where Real Madri has a very good history from season to season, very different from Girona who have never won any title in La Liga. However, I am sure that Girona can match Real Madri in this match and will definitely work together with the team to beat Real Madrid, even though it is very difficult for Girona to win, because this match takes place at Real Madrid's home ground. So let's see together who will win and what will be the final score of this match.
Vinicius Jnr. has scored an early goal with a super strike from outside the 18 yard box to give his club the lead on the 5th minutes of the game. Vini is a dangerous player that is always there to score for Real Madrid in big matches that deserves winning.

Real Madrid is unbeaten in 17 games now,they won 13 and draw 3. While Girona have not lost at home since the beginning of this season. Real Madrid front line Vini, Rodrigo and Bellingham is a very good combination for the destruction of any club defense. It was an outstanding goal for the Brazilian international.

Real Madrid 1-0 Girona

Investing in a long term investment on bitcoin will help them make profit from bitcoin. Storing their coins in a self custody wallet and keeping their seed phrase safe. Buying bitcoin and transferring it to their wallet is the basic thing that they need to learn, so that they can start saving in bitcoin for the future. They don't need to know any other cryptocurrency apart from bitcoin to safe them from the risk of pump and dump. When they invest in bitcoin and hodli for long, the risk will be limited.

De Rossi really brought big changes to Roma, because he was able to improve a bad situation and change Roma's formation so that they were able to achieve a landslide victory against Cagliari. This victory proves that De Rossi can be relied on by Roma to win again against Inter Milan in the next match, even though this match looks very tough for Roma, because Inter Milan has appeared very good and strong this season. However, I am sure that with the change in formation made by De Rossi like yesterday's match, Roma will definitely be able to provide excellent resistance on the field so they can win this match.

Winning against a relegated team does not prove that Roma is better in De Rossi hands, even when Mourinho coached Roma, they never lost when facing a relegated team in the Italian league, so why do you think De Rossi has done a better job than Mourinho?
so far, I personally contrary to your thoughts because so far I haven't seen anything different from Roma, we are all really looking forward to Roma match against Inter later, apart from being a fairly classic match, this match could also be an opportunity for Inter to get closer to the Scudetto, Apart from that, I'm pretty sure there are many members here and also Roma fans who want to see how ready and good Roma are when facing a team as big and strong as Inter Milan, if Roma wins against Inter of course  I will take my hat off to De Rossi.
I still haven't confirmed that De Rossi is a good coach, maybe because he has beind lucky enough to get a winning streak. I am sorry but all these critics towards him, but maybe we are also seeing with a weak coaching skills due to his past records, which might have made him improve himself on his coaching pattern. Too many doubts that he can do better than Mourinho.

This is why De Rossi should prove to people that he has really improved himself, by trying to draw the match with Inter. I am not saying that he should win the match because that might be mission impossible, but they him share point with Inter. If he can also win the match, let him go ahead and win it. Inter will always win their upcoming matches because they are the strongest this season.
514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: February 09, 2024, 01:24:50 PM
Guys, do you often feel like me? when I raise the bet I lose and when I lower the bet I win. Does the casino system/algorithm know the betting patterns we make? So often when we bet big we are given a loss and when our bet is small we actually win, which is very annoying

I don't know if this applies to all games or not, but I feel like this often when playing table games. What do you think?
This has being happening to so many of us that wins small amounts of money and will decided to increase the amount of money to win big, but we will end up losing that bet. This is why one shouldn't get too greedy when you are winning with a small amount. It is better that you continue with that small amount, if it will give you steady luck.

Gambling is based on luck, and that is what we should consider anytime that we want to increase our bet, because the higher the money, might be the lower your chance of winning the bet. Also you should gamble in a reputable casino that has been known to be provably fair, so that you will have the assurance that you are not been cheated by the casino. Only gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose.

OP, you can use unstoppable wallet as it is an open source wallet that can be used for bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Trezor Suite is also a good because it supports other cryptocurrency. It is better that you store your bitcoin in a different wallet from your altcoins wallet. You can use electrum online wallet from small amount of bitcoin, and if it is a big amount, you can use electrum cold storage wallet, and generate your keys on an air gapped device. Also sparrow wallet or a hard wallet like passport is good.

If they could just do a lot more research to understand those risk for sure they never think about hesitating once there's a opportunity coming up,
 
Also if they understand those risk which always there when it comes acquiring bitcoin for sure they can do good decisions on how they could handle some situation and just buy on the price they target without any further more doubts in mind.
This is why newbies that wants to start investing in bitcoin. should have a long term goal, and should only use a little amount that he can afford to let go or will not be needing for a long period of time for regular DCA weekly or monthly. This will limit the risk and make him not to worry about hodling for long. If that investor along the line of his bitcoin journey have understand more about bitcoin and have strong faith on bitcoin, he can then increase the money that he was using for DCAing.

but then you should be able to measure your bitcoin portfolio building along the way and to adjust your strategy along the way too, even though you admit that currently you are not ready, willing and/or able to engage in building of your bitcoin holdings.. so maybe by nature you are a weak-handed kind of person... and you might not be ready for the big league of king daddy bitcoin, and you need to go fuck around with shitcoins for a while.... and maybe in the meantime, just figure out if there might be some small amount that you might be willing to put into bitcoin and forget about it.. and just continue to build your bitcoin without thinking about its cash value for the next 20 years.. can you even do that?
Anyone that cannot discipline himself and sacrifice for the future by not using the opportunity that bitcoins gives now to invest in a long term so that he can hodli, and build his bitcoin portfolio, will live to regret his mistakes in future, when they will see how bitcoin will transform a lot of people lives that was able to sacrifice and hodli till that time. Bitcoin investment is my first investment that I have ever had, this is because it is stress free and you don't need to have any papers or documents, or start moving from one place to the other. Yours is to just invest, grow your investment. and hodli for a very long time, and your profit will keep on generating more profit with timeline. Nobody will know that you have any investment, because it is a not a physical investment. I think it is the most unique amongst all investment, so it is worth investing into.

Atletico Madrid are going to face Sevilla once again after a short time they played against each other in the Copa del Rey. By the way Atletico Madrid beat them in that game and in the league by the same score, 1-0.

Despite having a really poor season Sevilla still can be competitive against Atletico Madrid somehow considering the results so far. But the competitiveness is rather due to not conceding many goals from Atletico Madrid.  Grin When it comes to performances I can't say Sevilla have been good enough against their opponent. I think another Atletico Madrid win is on the horizon but it might be by a close score once again.
Athletico Madrid is strong, and have the better chance of winning Sevilla, who are very weak this season. I don't think that there will be any hope for Sevilla in that game, and Athletico will win all three points in the match.

I don't know what is wrong with Sevilla this season, I was thinking that in the middle of the season that Sevilla will pick form just the way they picked form last season, but it has turned out to be the opposite of my thoughts, since Sevilla still remains in their worse form. Athletico Madrid is the only team that is giving Real Madrid tough time when the clash, and that is why I believe that Sevilla match will be like a work over game for Athletico Madrid.
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How's problem gambling different from compulsive gambling. on: February 08, 2024, 01:07:10 PM
Compulsive gambling leads to problem gambling, when the gambler fails to come out from his addiction. This is because when you are a compulsive gambler and can gamble for long giving more time and your funds to gambling. You will end up losing all that you have.

This will now lead that gambler to start looking for where to take a loan, or sell his family properties, and even stealing to gamble forgetting the consequences because he can no longer control himself. Problem gambling is worse compared to compulsive gambling.

When you don't expose your private keys, there is no way that anyone can know your private keys because it is unique. The advise is never allow anyone to see your private key, it is when your private key is known that your wallet can be compromised.

You shouldn't dare put your private keys on any site or save it online, or else your will loss your coins. So it is very difficult to know anyone private keys, and very hard to generate the same private keys to different wallet. Your private key is the password to your output locked in your bitcoin address , and anyone that have access to it will steal your coins.
