Gambling everyday can be end up getting you quite the habit and could recover your finance especially when you decide to chase your loses or try to recover old loses, gambling is a game of uncertainty and it shoudk be followed suite, it's not a job or hobby so why mess yourself with it and most persons who chase their loses are those that fail to follow the rule of gambling which is to invest what you can afford to lose and end up getting stuck in the cycle of trying to balance loses out which can be a huge problem.

Oh yeah I've got one very funny one, there was one time I was awake at midnight trying to check some predictions sites to see what they've got to add up with mine and it was weekend no other chance to get a lot if games to chose from, I was booking till 2 in the morning and slept off while booking and forgot to play the game with my phone in my hand and when I got up in the morning by 9:30 my phone was switched off and no where to charge it, so I had to bail on the game and guess what it went fyn and I lost all my effort. Sad shit.

Yeah I've experienced stuff like this with man United a season or 2 ago and I noticed how the referee normally helped them to win matches through penalty and apart from that I also notice this in some kind of games where a team in a lower league would beat a team in a higher league just because of history and based on performance it not even supposed to happen.

OP there isn't  problem if this topic has been discussed before, not everyone had to opportunity to participate then but you just gave us another chance at it.

Gambling in general if not controlled would make anyone an addict, and I'm not sure if the type of gambling you engage in matters or would make you more addicted or not, it all boils down to self control.

But I think casino gambling should have a better chance at making you a gambling addict cause you would make friends and if you are a high gambler you might want to keep a big profile for your friends not to think your broke, so I think it becomes a thign of commitment with casino gambling.

Online gambling should be on pair with casinos gambling cause ive seen what this shit has done to people around me, and how hard it is to quite, it so easy you can gamble with smaller amounts and have access to higher rewards, they play on our greed and losing such small amount you would be like what do i have to lose and its easier to get addicted that way.

When it come to thigns like gambling I would always chose centralized platforms, cause I've had a better experience with them than decentralized platforms, apart from  the hack issues recently going on with decentralized gambling platforms, other things like high withdrawal fees, transactions getting stuck and more scalability issues, I'll just stick my tail with the centralized platforms.

From the way you are sounding, I think you have no basic knowledge on bitcoin and that should be your first concern before investing, I know a lot of you guys are enthusiastic and out the bull run but you must know that you can lose all those holdings if you don't learn about security or how crypto in general works, gather knowledge  bro and if you really want to learn you won't be trying to rush into investing first.

Anyway welcome OP to the forum.

I don't see any reason the appearance of satoshi would cause a bear market or how it would have any impact on the bull, majority of investors doesn't even know who or what sataoshi is and probably doesn't care, it would probably be a government thign, who knows what charges they have been keeping against him or why he chose to stay hidden, the only fear I guess people would have is the 1 million billion he has and if he choses to sell might cause a big crash for a while and it could start a whole uproar and cause investors to start to withdraw  their money, I guess it's quite possible, but any way he coudl still stay in hiding and sell some bitcoin and at same time it would still have that impact on the market.

Welcome OP nice having you here with us on this forum, I guess you must first get acquitted with forum rules in oder not to get banned by failing any rules or cheating, this forum has so many boards and different threads with different topic, find one area that best suits the kind of knowledge you want to acquire and start there, you would meet a lot of experts here that would teach you a lot.

I guess you didn't read through the topic, OP said he wasn't scammed but lost his holdings out of carelessness to a data recovery specialist due to his hard drive that stored his seed phrase was bad, so the whole thing here is either the story is fake or the data specialist somehow knew that he had seed phrase stored there.

Yes that guy has been too old in bitcoin to be less knowledgeable about security and most of all he was a minner, doesn't the whole tech thing means you should know some basic things, I don't think a minner that only in Bitcoin with over 273 bitcoin would be that careless to store his seed phrase in only one hard drive without no alternative.

There is nothing wrong with criticism as a newbie but on the other hand I've seen people who would only say all the negative and actually give you no correction or even want you to learn, and we have to understand that most newbies before encountering this forum had no knowledge of bitcoin and came here to try to understand some things, it would be better that they they treated like wise as students and to be taught with love and care despite their shit, some have even experienced the tough side of cryptoaybe gotten scammed a few times before they got here so it not fair beign such a critic, I think the whole reason for a beginners board is to groom all the newbies if not there would be no need for it.

Nice to have you on the forum OP , but your not in the right place to be asking for support, you would have very little progress cause no one would actually trust for your words even if your story is quite touching.

You should have at least stayed on the forum a bit longer and maybe get known for what you do, if I recall I've seen someone write a poem for bitcoin on this forum even if it was temporary thign, that way people would know you to be real. Right now your no different from a scammer trying to beg. Sorry but it's fact.

Exactly  on where does this post fit?? Because  I really  do not see how this should even be put up on here,  there us no where on this forum that thus fits. Let's  all try to have some  sense of understanding  of how systems work. Thus post would've been  more relevant  in some social media thread or group,  but not on this board. I understand  your enthusiasm  and you trying  to make it informal on here and conducive on that level,  but even if you want  to make posts like these, make it bitcoin  related.

Firstly, you'd have to read the rules and regulations  do you don't  break set rules.
Then I think you'd have to read more than you write on here, that way you gather more information  without having  to worry about rules and all that.  And most of your writings should be help search based. Also, be ready for criticism  on your posts, it's human for people  to reply rudely  to you, but maintain  your cool, and I think you'll be fine. Also try to make useful  contributions  from time to time.

What you narrated was just a typical example of small mindedness and a person who hasn't been able to face the harsh realities of life. That's all there is to it. This person is on his way to making  bad decisions  and having a wrecked life.

If you're  contented with where you are, there's no wah for you to improve or develop.
Comfort zones are the  bane of development  and progress.
That guy is going to get hurt.

Both parties have a major role in promoting crypto but I think think case of adoption its the individual that does the most, crypto so far has spread through word of mouth and testimonials of people all over the investment, the government  has played their role by either accepting it or not causing individual to either be involved or not, bit has done no means of spreading news about crypto unless in the case of el salvador that now has platform that teach their citizens about bitcoin that's the only exception I know of government involvement and then the ETF approval that is also a case of government playing a role in mass adoption.

A good person can be known from the kind of family that he comes from and the kind of practices they observe, if seen many parents that don't give their children the teaching of morality and to respect from young age and when they have grown with such attitudes become a problem for them to handle, many children learn to steal from young age and parents never  gave correction or taught otherwise, current society is at war with most traditional practices but unknowingly removing wisdom from the current generation.

I don't think power is the problem but who wields it, power I'd just a form of ability, it can be influence, physical strength, expertise or other examples that OP mentioned, this are just different abilities that you can have and what you decide to do with it is your choice, if you are bad and have no sence of morality you would still do bad even with your little power available to you, you don't need exceptional power to know what you are really capable of doing.

Yes politics should be the concern of every citizen cause if a bad government is elected its affects everyone and if a good one is elected it also affects everyone, if our well beign is our concern then politics should also be everyone's business.

But other cases are when elections are riged and that power us removed from the hands of citizens, this is the case in some counties where power is determined by few and everyone is decived with democracy when the bad shit is going on under.

Ah swear, like what concerns politics and religion, who made you judge, the pastor have said his own and since this year you fit never read any bible but now you have done research because you feel you should say something.


Collect money from church for what work exactly, its God's work not man work, God surely rewards those that work for him in full, if the church agrees to pay you fine but if it doesn't fine, the bible also says through prosperity would my kingdom be spread abroad, so the church might be investing in building more branches. Don't let greed for money make you miss out on blessings, did Jesus not also say gather for yourself treasures unto eternal life?

Firstly know your priorities, do you want be successful and happy with your result and all it took to get there?
Or do you want to be successful with a lot of load on you.
Here's what I mean, family and friends usually put up a lot of pressure on you. You might be doing above averagely well, but they just think you're not doing enough.
They tend to see the worst in your efforts rather than the best of it.
So basically, keep yourself in a serene mental state and be aware of your output and input, and do the best you can
