I totally agree with you. We have bocome a society of consumers, in a sense, we are made to buy things that have no essetial values to our life. Your reflection on our consumer society and the impact of advertising resonates with a broader societal observation. The influence of advertising on our desires and purchasing decisions is sinking in modern life. Many of the things we acquire may be unnecessary, because we could live without them, This raises an important point about mindful consumption.

I like your suggestion of redistributing old and unnecessary items to those in need or selling them, because it aligns with the idea of reducing waste and promoting sustainability. That encourages a more thoughtful and intentional approach to consumption, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between genuine needs and the influence of external stimuli. It's a reflection that reminds people of considering the impact of their choices not only on their lives but also on the broader community and the environment.
It is why we must concentrate ourselves not only on earning more, we also need to concentrate on consuming less, if you can limit your consumption and avoid wasting your money in stuff you do not want or need, you will soon realize the amount of money you earn right now can be more than enough to sustain your new lifestyle.

So suddenly you do not have to make as much money as you thought you needed to make, and this could allow you to save more money and invest it in a market like this one, which ironically it could allow you to generate the income you thought you needed.

That's right, in general and usually people only concentrate on earning more because they want to get freedom in terms of allocating the money they earn, it's not wrong because after all it's money from their own hard work, but on the other hand life will not always be like that and will not always give you good situations and conditions, there are some circumstances that can make you quite bad especially in financial matters such as emergencies that always cannot be fully predicted. So management is very important and must be done one of them such as limiting consumption for things that you don't really need.

Gratitude in every situation and condition is the main key, someone who can apply a feeling of gratitude will always feel enough in any condition in his life by allocating the money you make to something that you really need in your life and a little get rid of some desires that are basically unnecessary and not too important. And of course it is better to use or allocate the money to something that is useful or has the potential to provide development on the money you put like maybe investment or other things, of course, that you trust and that can provide benefits.

Yup, everyone is working hard to sustain their family and entire life and the things they purchase is their needs and wants so it's absolutely important to them, In fact they use their own money just to buy the things that they really want to have and there's nothing wrong with that. Most of the time, even those in the lower/middle class family, they have enough fund for their leisure which is we all know that it is not considered as essentials in life, but for me, if a person has a capability to do everything regardless their financial status, then let them be and don't judge them.
Everyone who works to be able to earn income to meet their family's needs and also their desires to be fulfilled, of course there is nothing wrong with them spending their money on their desires because they have worked so it is natural for them to enjoy the results of their hard work, yes we can't judging someone about the use of their income, of course they have thought carefully about what they are doing for themselves.
Precisely! Who doesn't want to buy things they want for their self or family? all of us are working here to achieve everything that we want that's why I don't see anything wrong in purchasing things even if it's not essentials, as long as it gives us a happiness and fullfillment, i will consider it as important things to my life.

That's right, the purpose of working is to fulfill the needs in life and grant every what we want one of them from the type of goods as you mentioned. It doesn't matter if you can afford it, but one thing that might be a pretty good suggestion is that even though you've earned a lot of money as a result of the work you do but on the other hand I don't think excessive things like that are recommended to always do.

There are times when you give yourself pleasure as an appreciation and a sign of gratitude for all the struggles you have done, but on the other hand management for a balance must be considered and needs to be done. This means that you must really make a limit to buy something that is not too important and not really needed and you better save some money that is not used, because obviously everyone must have or will experience situations and conditions that are quite urgent in his life, so this method is really effective to do as a preventive measure. Another thing is that we must understand that wants and needs are different, especially wants which usually will never have a limit because you will always see new things in life that can always interest you.

It is not strange and I think maybe almost most of the gamblers do such actions, gambling excessively when they have managed to get a win, they think that luck is still on their side even though it is always unpredictable, we must understand that luck is something that cannot be guessed when it comes and when it goes, so with that alone it can be concluded that acting recklessly just for something uncertain is really not recommended.

If you do manage to get a win in the session you are doing then there is no other better option than cashing it in, everything in your mind is nothing more than hallucinations and hopes that do not have any certainty to come true, do not let you get caught in a cycle of addiction because you always overdo it in your gambling involvement.

Most times I don't blame the gamblers. These actions are common in other aspects of life. Whenever a person does something and wins, they'll try it or do some more. Take for instance, when you make a post in the forum and get merited. It'll push you to make more posts and continue making posts. Although the example isn't related to gambling, I need you to understand that there is a part of the brain responsible for that. And Op is right. Those who don't win at all in gambling will soon stop gambling. A part of the brain is also responsible for making people feel they're not supposed to be in a particular niche because they don't get rewarded

The examples and scenarios you mentioned are quite plausible and almost the same as the case of the gamblers we discussed, but on the other hand there are differences that I think are quite significant in the assumptions you told and you have said that it has nothing to do with gambling but in terms of scenarios it may be almost the same. One thing that must be considered is "risk", for other things it may not matter if you want to overdo it because there is no reciprocal risk that might occur but if this case is in gambling then obviously overdoing it is really not recommended.

I think this is a choice, if indeed they are not too ambitious and do not have high expectations then obviously too frequent wins are very likely to be a reason for them to stop and quit this activity, but on the other hand if they are easily stimulated in terms of adrenaline then that's another thing, which means it is possible that they will continue to be involved because of curiosity driven by adrenaline to feel the real victory.

Hello everyone, as you can see I'm new here, I'm looking for recommendations for a game to bet some money that I don't mind losing, I would like recommendations and if possible a recommendation for somewhere that teaches how to play. Thank you very much. Grin
There are several ways for you to bet with an account on a betting site. For this you need to first create a demo account and then test betting with a small amount of dollars in that account. But before that, there are hundreds of videos on YouTube with all these topics on how to bet. From there, you can gain experience by watching the videos you want and like, and then start betting in your casino and gambling account. Of course, when you start betting for the first time, you may face losses due to less experience, but in this case, you should not lose patience and wait. And bet small by depositing small amount of dollars without being overly greedy. In this case your loss amount will be very less.

Yes it is possible, but I think the way you mentioned would be better if your goal is to learn some of the games that are already provided in the casino and not for the purpose of how to win, it will only be useful for basic training to understand how the game works and not referring to how to win. Because basically the results of the demo account and the real account are very different, it is clear and maybe some here have proven and accepted the true fact that the demo account is nothing more than just learning some games.

Losing is a given and winning is a bonus for your dedicated involvement, in my opinion it is better to focus on preventive measures and not on winning, because after all winning is very difficult to get unless you are really lucky in the session you are doing. The other thing is of course that it is true as you say that all gamblers are advised to carry the smallest budget they can afford to lose, because that means they take the smallest risk and don't put any expectations on the winnings that are always uncertain.

Spurs vs Newcastle

and this time I am sure these two teams will fight for victory and both teams will score so I will bet on btts.
Tottenham in my opinion will not lose any more points in the match against Newcastle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because Spurs don't compete at UCL like Newcastle so they can focus here. Spurs will try to win after the final 5 matches they swallowed 4 defeats and draw against Manchester City.
Actually I also doubt Spurs win if I see from Head to Head they meet with Newcastle.
I support to bet on both of them will score goals.

That's what is always expected especially by Tottenham fans themselves, fans are always looking forward to the return of their pride team to their previous performance when they still dominated the victory that allowed them to crawl up to the top of the standings, although maybe I would say that the incident was nothing more than luck because not long after that their position was barely helped by a significant decline.

I think at least Tottenham should be able to get a draw if indeed victory is difficult to achieve, however they must be able to maintain their position in the top five of the standings, although the top five positions can be said to be quite good but still it is too unsafe because Manchester United including Newcastle are always behind them to catch up. Of course if we look at their previous Head to Head match against Newcastle it can indeed be made a big doubt and that's natural. Hopefully Tottenham can achieve a pretty good result in this match, lest they embarrass the fans for the second time at home.

But the problem is that not everyone has an understanding of the world of sports and maybe that's what makes them not choose sports betting which can basically help make it easier for them to win provided they have to have good enough skills and understanding. I think it's their ignorance in skills that ultimately makes them prefer random-based bets like slots and other games.

So for that problem it really comes back to themselves, it's hard to force them to get into sports betting if they really don't have any skills in that field. Another thing is that as you said one of the things that must be considered is in terms of budget, you are right that it is better to put the smallest amount that they can be responsible for, such as 1% - 5% is very good so that they can stay safe in gambling especially will not be too disappointed if they really lose.
That's what happens, so they tend to choose gambling games that are easier to play and without needing to learn many things. Sports betting is more challenging than they imagine because they have to learn how to analyze the data they find so they can know which team has an advantage over other teams. They also need to see the journey of each team so they can see whether the team is worthy of being their choice. They still have a lot to learn to be able to choose the right team, so it makes it difficult for them, and they end up choosing luck-based betting or other gambling games.

Yes, novice gamblers will choose which gambling games they want to play and they don't need to choose sports betting if they can't or don't have the ability to analyze the matches. And another thing they need to pay attention to is managing funds for placing bets. And they should not place bets with big money to avoid big losses. They can use small money to bet so that they can enjoy gambling properly and also will not experience big losses.

Yes that's one of the reasons that makes sense like you said, they choose gambling that is easier to access and just play without caring about the statistics in terms of opportunities and the amount of risk that is there, for them it is too difficult to learn the skills and some analysis needed in sports betting and on the other hand want to get a win but don't know what kind of gambling should be done if they come to earn, like you said they can learn skills in sports to improve their skills and knowledge which will also be very useful for their gambling involvement especially not to experience too many losing streaks like in pure luck-based gambling.

Some may assume that learning skills in sports is complicated and just takes up their time, these days more people are opting for instant gratification, so if there's something instant to choose why not, they don't care about the statistics of winning and losing percentages in pure luck gambling which is basically much more likely to lose than win.

Liverpool are really not creative in attack, yes they can only move in midfield without being able to penetrate Crystal Palace's defense deeper. In the second half if they still do the same thing as the first half then I can say they will not be able to win this match.
They need to be creative again in attack, they have to find gaps that they can take advantage of and create opportunities to create goals.
Jurgen Klopp must realize this that their strategy in the first half will not be able to make them win.
In this match, Liverpool completely dominated the game but, they seemed to have difficulty carrying out attacks, so practically they didn't have many opportunities. Crystal Palace lost possession of the ball though they were playing at home but I think they played quite well. They chose to play defensive football, and so far that strategy seems quite effective in stemming Liverpool's attacks.

Liverpool will have to improve if they want to win this game because if they continue to play like they did in the first half, Crystal Palace may score a goal from a counter-attack.

Of course, we can see from the match statistics that Liverpool are far superior to Crystal Palace especially in terms of ball possession, but strangely they can be left behind in terms of goals, but it doesn't matter because in the end M.Salah managed to catch up with his team by scoring a goal in the 76th minute which finally made the two teams draw. Liverpool have a pretty good depth that makes it easy for them to make some impressive attacks, and of course Crystal Palace must further strengthen their back line to minimize attacks from Liverpool.

Although the match was dominated by Liverpool but on the other hand I saw them still quite difficult to add goals to increase their chances of winning three points. Another thing is that now Crystal Palace must be willing to lose one player because of a red card, so of course this is a pretty good opportunity for Liverpool to take advantage of the situation. The match has entered the final seconds and we'll see if Liverpool can take advantage of the situation well or go home with sharing points.

Before investing, it is important to have an understanding of investing before managing money. If the investment is phased then the idea of Bitcoin will come before the money. If there is no idea about investment, then no matter how much money we have, we will not be able to use it properly. First we need to get the maximum idea about investment, when we can get the maximum idea about investment then we can use that idea to invest if we want through money. By managing money at any time an investor can invest but the idea about investment is not possible to take in a short period of time or when. One should try to get idea about investment with time. Over time, when we gain an understanding of investing, we can invest with that money later when the money comes.

That's the first thing that should be considered by everyone who wants to get involved in the world of investment, especially in bitcoin, don't let you come just because you are tempted by the profit opportunities so you don't pay too much attention to the things that must be prepared for the beginning of your involvement. As you said that understanding of investment must be a major concern, because it's useless even though they have a lot of money but if they don't have a qualified understanding along with some of the potential that exists in bitcoin it will only waste money and time, instead of getting profits but the opposite happens, losses dominate.

I think there are quite a lot of people who have succeeded in their investments such as professionals and they can look for many references from several trusted sources including from professionals, especially in terms of financial management and risk management as well as several other things.

Have you never gambled at all, if yes! then just choose sports betting such as football or cricket or something else related to sports for you to try playing at the start, casino games and card games are actually very good to try but as a newbie, you have to for the time being you can focus on just 1 type of betting game, don't explore them all, you will only make yourself down and lose money if you try all types of gambling games, so just focus on 1.
He should already have a choice of gambling games that he wants to play because the many gambling games available in each casino will make someone confused about choosing a gambling game. If he knows sports well, he can choose sports betting to start gambling. He may be able to win from sports betting but he must also remember that he should use less money and only use the money he can afford so that if he loses, he does not lose a lot of money. For a beginner, slot games can give him pleasure but it all comes back to what he wants to play.

But the problem is that not everyone has an understanding of the world of sports and maybe that's what makes them not choose sports betting which can basically help make it easier for them to win provided they have to have good enough skills and understanding.

Sometimes we become blind for a moment when faced with our biggest enemy, namely greed when gambling, the average gambler has experienced this, and I have too. We become like hypocrites because on the one hand we give advice not to take gambling seriously, but we gamble without thinking about the impact in the future. But what can we do, the rice has become porridge, we cannot turn back time and we can only deal with the problem as best we can. I hope the best for you.

Not only that but emotions are also involved and these two things, emotions and greed are usually what always give results that turn out to be much worse than what was imagined, yes that's right I think almost most gamblers will experience phases where emotions and greed control themselves which makes them almost completely unable to think using logic. Haha yes it is true that you admit your own mistakes and not only you sometimes I still do it unconsciously, but I think it doesn't matter if we give advice to others even though sometimes we also make the same mistakes.

I think it's still reasonable because humans are fallible and it's also very difficult to be able to control the emotions that are in us. Rice has become porridge and yes that means maybe we are a little late because time cannot be turned back, but I think it doesn't matter because this is an experience, and the question is whether we can make this bitter experience a lesson or not, if we can then obviously we will be able to become a better person again, especially in gambling involvement which will not be too excessive, regret will always be at the end hopefully we or they can fix everything.

Know first what actually catch up your interest since if you like random base games then you can try to play on slot and dice games or any other games that casino offer. Try to go to reputable threads posted then try one of them.

But if you are sport fan then bet on sports you are familiar on since it will give you more good chances to win but as well for sure you could possibly enjoy watching those sports you are always following. There's a lot to learn here just read those threads and also the discussion made by people.

Yes that's right, in terms of choosing something it's really going to come back to their interest or I mean which game can entertain them and which can make them quite comfortable in a few spins and most importantly I don't think it comes with the purpose of earning. The freedom is in their hands and there are so many to choose from on the game dashboard offered by the casino. On the other hand I think lately more beginners are involved in random-based games that are really purely about luck like slot machines, if they want to choose this game then I hope they can get to know first about the amount of risk that they are very likely to experience, and most importantly not to put any hope for the end of the session because it is difficult to get a good enough result from this game.

True, I think especially for beginners it is better for them to choose skill-based betting types such as the sports you mentioned, because with this involvement they will not make their finances too problematic or simply put they will not spend too much money because winning there is not too difficult as long as they have good enough skills in the field of sports, I would recommend this more than random-based betting, because after all it is quite dangerous, but all this depends on their choice too.
513  Economy / Economics / Re: Inventing a job is better than finding a job on: December 08, 2023, 12:31:50 PM
Young people often choose to look for a job and consider themselves as an employee but as we grow old, we realize how important to create a job rather than find a job. We know that our energy won't last forever and as we grow old, it is hard for us to perform tasks that require a high level of energy and even in office staff, some companies are hiring young people. But if we have skills, even if we grow old still we can make money because people will still be looking at us for service. Some are running a business and these people are earning even if they are not working which seems to be their advantage.

But I think it's a common thing that almost everyone does and also building a job is not as easy as turning your palm especially if you don't come from a family that has good financial strength or comes from a rich family. Thinking about the future is very important because as you said that as time goes by our energy will decrease due to the increasing age factor, but for the early stages I think it's normal if the younger generation prefers to look for a job first, they need a lot of experience to as a provision that will be very useful when later they want to build their own business and create jobs for others.

It's all just about the person's stance and their concern for their future, there are some people who spend their time just working as a clerk and there are also those who have a developmental and advanced mindset as we discussed here where they should think and care about their future by creating many opportunities for financial freedom in old age. And also it's all about whether they are willing to take risks by trying new things or just staying put and just being a laborer/employee for the rest of their life, it's a choice.

1. I think every of the team in the EPL is having a bad season; and struggling. the only difference is that the struggles are at a different pace. Arsenal started the league poorly and are now onn top. Now Manchester city are struggling for form thanks to Rodri injury. Who is next?

I ask who is next because Manchester united, liverpool and spurs are all struggling at the moment haha

2. Nothing dissappointing about the chelsea game. Thats Chelsea football club for you "inconsistent". They were bossed by mctominay and amrabat in midfield llol. That aside, in a big rivalrly game, form never matters
Liverpool haven't had too much trouble so far Liverpool can be said to be quite better than last season. In fact currently Man City is facing an unexpected situation. The Premier League competition is not as easy as they think just because they have won 3 trophies. Spurs clearly made a mistake because they were too aggressive at the start of the season. The top standings favour Arsenal and may have Aston Villa to thank. Besides that Manchester United are only 3 points away from Man City therefore Pep Guardiola must take this defeat seriously. It seems that whether or not agreeing to let Gundogan and Mahrez leave has a significant impact plus the absence of KDB, Rodri and Grealish leaves more gaps open the new players brought in can't really cover it all.

If a student has graduated from college and immediately starts a job or opens a business, I personally think it will be more difficult than looking for a job. Even though scientifically, college students definitely have it (in their respective majors). But still, their experience can be said to be zero.
Therefore, looking for a job first would be more suitable as a first step for a student who has just graduated from college. Because that way, they will definitely gain experience in the workplace and when they are ready, this experience will be a good provision for building their business or job.
And that's what other fresh graduates doing, looking for a job from a good and well know companies to gain experiences and to enhance their knowledges about the specific task so that if the time will come that they want to build their own business, they can apply all the things they learned from working. Even those rich students who has a capability building their own business right after the graduation still choose to apply for a work, unless they have build already their own businesses or they are heir in their family business. Whatever it is, I can say that you can handle well your own business if you have a lot of work/life experiences.

Everything will look like easy and will work if we want to do it, you can look for knowledge or references from anywhere and it depends on your needs. What you're describing is one of the most effective ways that people who are now successful in their lives have always used, not entirely successful but most of them get something that can make their lives better. I often hear the words of some great teachers that "take advantage of the situation and absorb the knowledge" meaning that we must really be able to take advantage of all the opportunities that come, as you say take as much knowledge as possible when we are working in a company that is good enough of course that can give us new things that are positive and that have benefits.

Do not let you go out empty-handed, like spending a lot of time in school but when you graduate you don't get any lessons then it will be in vain, you will not get a good impact that is useful for the future. Likewise in terms of work, we must be serious in working so that we can gain experience to be used as a provision that will be very useful when you want to build your own business in the same field. Because in terms of business it is not only money that needs to be prepared but more importantly experience that will be able to make you build good planning and management in your business, it's useless if you have a lot of money but don't know how to manage a business, it will end in vain and failure.

Most gamblers are really that are on losses and the proof is that there are lots of gambling businesses out there which we do know that they do really launch up every now and then which
it do really means that they are really that a profitable business because of these kind of lossers who do keep on coming back into gambling and then losing up all the way.
Its never been that ideal that you should really going further because you would really be messing up your entire life or finances if you do keep that kind of behavior.
This is why it is really that important that moderation would really be crucial when it comes to this, because if you dont then you would really be ending up on disaster.

It is a true fact that indeed most gamblers suffer huge losses because of their countless losses, is that reasonable? obviously I would say it is very reasonable because as you said that it is true that casinos are a profitable business but not for losers like gamblers who always expect big wins by depending on luck but all profits are entirely only for the bookie who owns the casino itself.

Another proof is that don't you know or experience that there are more losses than wins? Then why don't you feel suspicious of gambling at all and why don't you look for reasons why it always happens, I think this is a matter of misunderstanding driven by beliefs and expectations that are so high that it is very difficult to reach awareness to at least improve the situation.

They did all they could but the arsenal team were far too strong and resilient for them to resist. Luton had a chance of grabbing a point at least in that match but blew it all up due to lack of concentration at the last minute, they obviously lost focus and let arsenal take all three point home with Declan Rice goal despite taking the lead at some part of the game in the second half, it shows that arsenal were better prepared than Luton and that's why the result went asernal's ways.

Tough luck for Luton; they deserved a point from this match. Luton fans probably wish if Luton could have held on for a few more seconds. Lack of concentration cost them, while Arsenal managed to steal the match in the end. I absolutely love this team! The never-die attitude in the boys is fantastic, and they secured superb 3 points. Declan Rice has made a great comeback for Arsenal this season, scoring an incredible match-winner for them.

Arsenal's comeback was completely unexpected, I honestly never thought that Arsenal would be able to turn things around in the final seconds of the game, Declan Rice's goal really made Arteta smile. I was already unsure about Arsenal when the second half started with Luton ahead on goal difference, and I assumed that if both teams had to end the game by sharing the points then obviously it was a very bad result for Arsenal, how could they share points with a team that was far below them and almost in the relegation zone.

Although this could be called bad luck for Luton but I think it doesn't matter because with their performance that can balance the game against a squad that is far above them I think it is very good, otherwise my disappointment will be more inclined to Arsenal, fortunately Declan Rice can make a save for his squad's victory.

You are right that someone who gets a big win can become a chronic gambler who will try to chase other wins, even using the winnings he has already earned. Getting a big win is very rare, and we should be able to appreciate what we have so that we won't try to chase an even bigger win. That will only result in losses that may be even bigger than before, and can use up all the money we have, even the winnings we have earned. We must always be careful when gambling, not gamble excessively, and always exercise self-control so that we don't have the desire to chase bigger wins.

There are some people who become addicted of gambling because of a single win because they make a wrong concept because of this win that they will always earn a big reward like this. There are a greater chance of losing money than that of earning so don't forget that you can win due to your good luck but opposite situations can also occurs.
According to my experience people are often losing money but they cannot win large sum of money easily and regularly so if loss is higher then why people are often engaged in gambling? People are wishing to see another such big win but in such tries he become a permanent part of this unpleasant betting and loss all what he has in his pocket or bank.

Winning will be able to change everything, especially their goals, for example they come with the aim of just looking for fun but when they find a time where they are really lucky by getting a big enough win then that's where the wrong mindset will start, they think that the results of gambling are very satisfying and the activity really produces, even though on the other hand it is nothing more than a temptation which of course will only make them even more tempted and cannot be separated from these activities.

Casinos are very clever they have very good algorithms that certainly seem to be able to brainwash humans (gamblers) who will easily change their mindset to be wrong just by getting one win. Obviously people who are too excessive in gambling it will only make them lose a lot of money because gambling is recommended not to earn but only to be a place of entertainment, why do people still gamble even though they always lose? one of the reasons that makes them not give up even though they often lose it is because they have very high confidence and hope, they think that there will be a time when they can get a big enough win or at least to break even in terms of recovery, but I say it is a cycle that will not end. The problem is all in their expectations.

Ideally betting like a pro requires a lifestyle change and when you take up gambling as a lifestyle you will experience significant financial changes.

What aspect of financial challenges are you expecting? Is it negative or positive growth because there is no guarantee with being a professional gambler. No doubt that you would also be making some profit but he will also be losing big because he will have to stake higher. I believe maybe streamers can have probably a steady outcome either they are in collaboration with the casino but to be a independent professional gambler doesn't have a guarantee of financial break through.
Gambling is an uncertain win-lose betting field.There is no guarantee that anyone will win a single bet. So it doesn't cross my mind whether this non-guaranteed gambling should ever be preferred as a major source of income. If there was a possibility of monthly or weekly profit from gambling then it could only be taken up as a profession or a job. But there is no guarantee that you can win from this gambler's bet every day. If you win one bet there is a chance of losing the next so this uncertain income should never be taken as a part time or full time job.

Of course, what you are saying is a true fact about the concept of gambling, where there are only two answers at the end of the session, namely winning and losing and the other thing is that there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to be able to get a win especially consistently, so with that then we can conclude that gambling is really not recommended to be used as a place to find the main income, it is too absurd and if anyone opposes statements like this then maybe I say they are nothing more than fools whose brains and minds are not healthy.

What is meant by the main income is where someone must always produce because to cover the needs of his life or even his family, simply put is if there is a need then there must always be money, while on the other hand there is absolutely no guarantee for you to be able to get consistent results every day, not only that because I make sure instead of getting money but what happens is that you lose a lot of money.

I don't think JJG had a problem with my earlier post where I said I was buying with 50% as lump sum, 30% DCA and 20% dip. He was even in support of the approach provided I have my emergency funds available. I think it was you that didn't properly understand my initial analysis.

Of course, we have a lot of latitude in how we choose to invest into BTC, and I think that would be my main concern with anyone who is going to approach BTC in what seems to be a more aggressive than typical way is to make sure that they have a pretty solid emergency fund.. .. So in other words, the more aggressive that we are, the more important is that our emergency fund is solid.

True, all individuals have freedom in terms of choosing the way in the investment approach they will take on Bitcoin, there are no restrictions and no one regulates you except yourself, whether you will be aggressive or remain normal as usual in your investment approach basically it is all up to you and your own choice which means only you yourself know what is best / safe for your journey of involvement in bitcoin. On the other hand for those who act aggressively but do not have a good balance or finances in their finances it seems that I would be a little suspicious of them in terms of the purpose of their arrival.

On the other hand, aggressive has the equivalent of excessive, and something that is done excessively usually has a goal that makes less sense behind the scenes, and if there are some who are involved in bitcoin bringing scenarios like this it looks like they want something instant or the meaning of reciprocity that can make them feel satisfied in a short time. Can you achieve the results according to your expectations? yes maybe but do you have a very good understanding and knowledge of bitcoin? maybe yes and maybe no, planning and behavior like that makes me keep a little question mark. Another thing is that I quite agree with your idea @JJG that if we want to do a fairly / very aggressive way of approaching bitcoin that means we must have something that can sustain our real life or that means having prepared an emergency fund that will keep you okay during your involvement in bitcoin, and do not let your aggressive approach not be the result of careful consideration beforehand because obviously it will only worsen your situation and living conditions.
