501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: December 04, 2023, 07:00:35 PM

We came to the conclusion that many people play without knowing why. Probably many people want to be lucky and in the end the player wins enough money to afford to buy a new house for his family or afford expensive medical care to his relatives. These are all very good dreams and of course there is a chance for this thanks to gambling, it’s just extremely small compared to losing, which is sometimes better to stand on the sidelines. Some believe that they won't achieve this dream in their entire life, and are ready to justify themselves with bets, which is irresponsible. Since we want to try to realize our dreams through gambling, we need a tough approach and informed decisions.
Really,  such a mindset is what have put a lot of gamblers into problems of losing chunk of their holdings,  having the dream of buying a home or having a family vacation using your winning,  many times we have not really taken the time to check what the risk are and how we may not be able to make an anything significantly through gambling,  so again we have to know that,  winning a jackpot in gambling is mostly all about the luck factor and some time that luck are not easily come by,  so we much lower our expectations on best results.

We can't build a dream around gambling because gambling outcomes are unpredictable and still can not be relied on, let's just gamble for fun and nothing more than that.
On the time that you do make yourself that delusional then you would really be ending up with these kind of expectations on which this would really be causing or the main reason for you to make out some actions which turns out that makes you a desperate man and this is something which is really that bad specially into those people who are involved with gambling because of this kind of thing which would really be affecting you bigtime.
Being responsible doesnt really need any tips or critical thinking since everything would really be that depending according into your own common sense and assessment. We do have our own will and it is really just that too impossible that you cant really be able to determine on what are the things which are right and which are wrong. Most people would really be just simply rejecting out such idea or on the situation
that they've been aware that its bad but still continuing to do it despite of those kind of  simple hint on what you should really be needing to do.
502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: December 03, 2023, 07:36:28 AM
The use of borrowed money in gambling is a very risky move; often, it leads to more problems than solutions. Adding borrowed money to gambling only intensifies the potential consequences, as seen in OP's situation. In my opinion, it is unnecessary to borrow money if it will only be used for gambling; I would never consider it as an option. There's nothing wrong with borrowing money if you truly have nothing and you need it, but if it's just for gambling, it's better not to borrow at all.
Borrowing money to gamble will only cause problems for us because we know that gambling can cause us to lose a lot of money if there is no preparation and we will not be able to pay back the borrowed money. But if it is for other more important needs, it's okay if we borrow money from other people and they will also understand. But it seems like no one will want to lend their money to gamble unless they really want to take advantage of the person borrowing the money. After all, we will never know when we will win but there is a possibility that we will only experience defeat and that could cause us to lose all the money.
Totally causing problems unless if you are responsible on paying up your loans then it would be just fine,but it is really just that totally worth on taking up some loan just for you to gamble on which it would be better if it would be used on other means but for gambling? meh! You would really be putting up yourself on great danger. We do know that taking a loan is never been ideal or something that really very good for you to do so.
If its really that you are responsible on repaying your loan then it would really be just that fine but if not then this is where shit things do happen.

You would really be putting up yourself that in danger if you are really that making use of loan amount. You would really be putting up yourself on great trouble.
No matter on how much money you do have or being that confident on taking up some loan and spending it on gambling, then sooner or later
you would be finding up yourself on great trouble later on.
503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Using AI for betting predictions on: December 02, 2023, 06:49:56 PM
Should AI be relied on for sport betting predictions?
We often discuss AI with gambling many time, and the answer is NO.
because AI is still human-made and programmed according to the creator's wishes.
So If the creator is really smart, why he doesn't play directly and get rich just by playing and betting himself?. I think his victory before was just a coincidence, just look what happen after, your friend always got lost and lost. This mean, the AI don't help you to win your bet. You have to be realistic if gambling only made for human not for robot.


As we know recently AI has been performing very well in many areas, so we can't rule out AI giving more accurate predictions than a team of analysts. If many famous personalities say that AI is the future, it means that sooner or later it will be used in forecasting. Besides, we cannot know which analytical companies and bookmakers are already using AI in their work. But it seems to me that AI is clearly already being used.

AI is used, doesn't mean AI accurately does the predictions. I don't trust AI as a tool that'll be utilized by experts for forecasting. If not it would have been adopted already. The whole concept of AI is to help humans in performing research and providing a summarized answer. However, they tend to send outputs that seem to be beyond these, yet nothing special about AI other than for research purposes in form of discussions or chat. Which is the main purpose, people use AI for almost every possible questions they've got. It'll be silly to entrust our funds in the hands of AI, in terms of gambling. Sports prediction can be expensive, and it requires due diligent analyses to predict and stake money on games. Else the player will keep on losing money like Op's friend. A gambler who is not proficient enough can easily purchase predicted games from sellers who claim to be experts, than depending on AI. Human brain is far, far better than AI and their development process. The model may not be trained well enough to decide or predict sports results like humans do. And since the results relies on humans, artificial intelligent is quite useless in such matters. Human brain can change thoughts in split seconds, and the game would change immediately. That's why no model or method of predicting games works consistently correct. AI can still get us to win, but it'll be once in a long while.
AI does have certain limitations and application on which it's never been that ideal that it should really be used or would really be something that you would really be relying on.Just like on what others had been saying that informations been given or suggestions by AI is something that do comes from those informations been stored up.Yes it could make out calculations but it would never ever be reliable.
If you do make out some bets just for the sake of experiment then go ahead and test it out whether it do really give out that good results or not. There are indeed people who dont really believe on things on which they would really be pushing up on the idea on what they do have in mind on which its not shocking thing for some people.

Sooner or later they would be making out some realizations that they are doing something pointless because we know that AI is never been that reliable when it comes to predictions
but hence, if we do test out to ask AI then they are bound to respond that they dont know the future like kind of thingy which same goes when you do ask
for certain price of crypto in the future. Similar responses would really be given.
504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: December 02, 2023, 12:39:36 PM
Families with joint or linked banked accounts would question one another about how they spend money. I don't know how you'll be able to escape such questions from your wife, if she focuses on asking about your activities or notices that you are a gambler. It's not simple to keep the truth away from them. Except you don't have a joint account with her, I'd say your decision is great and it also makes you a loving husband Grin not every woman would feel comfortable about having a gambler as a husband. We've had similar discussions in this forum about letting our spouse know about our gambling habit. But, it feels good to discuss gambling with our wife, if she's not worried about it. From the Op's idea or strategy, 1% is great for any household and our partner would be happy to discover how money conscious her spouse is, instead of winding up the income. Causing trouble for the family. Which is basically where the family problems erupt. And why most women hate gamblers. Aside that, if you're a responsible gambler, it'll be rare to find her sad or wary about the gambling habit.
Thats one of the main cons when you do have a joint account specially into your wife, you would really be able to monitored out on what are those spendings that you have done and it would really be an inevitable thing that you would be asked out and this is something that i dont like. This is why i do really have that separate card of course but still my wife do really still need to check out my balance and she knows on
where money will really be spent. The only thing that i do like is that you do really have that able to save up for yourself, not on being selfish but we know that it is really that entirely different
if you do have that money on your pocket or in card which you could be able to spend on when you do like.

Speaking about risking 1% of household income in gambling then if those things are speaking about joint account then expect there would be questions asked about that 1%.
We know that women are really that too eager on knowing everything when it comes to finances specially if you do have a family to feed then it would be normal to raise
up those questions and this is why i dont really see it for it to be a big issue.

The issue differs per spouse, like the first guy, who talked about explaining things to his wife before using the 1% of his income to gamble, similar attitude elsewhere can lead to an issue. But not big, as the funds are moderated. Yet if 1% of the income keeps disappearing each month, it'll be a cause for alarm on the wife's side. Because it's unusual to see a particular amount of money disappearing from the account each month. That's why in cases of using joint accounts, the both parties need to agree on the gambling activities of the man or woman. And to keep the non gambler on the trail, s/he needs to be updated. Most gamblers can cease the opportunity to initiate their wife into gambling as well. By telling her it's only for fun, nothing else. This will help both parties not to feel cheated or thinking that the money meant for feeding is being used for gambling. Remember, like I earlier said, not every woman would be glad to figure out such habit from her husband. Depending on her various family rules. It could be her family disregards gamblers. The issue will be hard to resolve, unless the husband stops gambling. Hence, a player with joint account, can easily find a different method of raising money he'll use for gambling. To be on a safe side, his wife won't notice in one bit, the husband's habit. As men we have to be observant of things that'll upset our women. Hence, if she constantly discuss about her hatred for gambling, we need to do that with caution. To maintain the respect she's got for the head of her family.
Fun gambling is based on people in a relationship knowing and respecting each other. Here, he defends his gambling by saying that it only costs him 1% of his income and is therefore safe. Still, she sees this steady loss of money; a pattern forms, which makes her suspicious. He says its just for fun, maybe to get her into this world of chance by calling it "harmless fun." But her beliefs, which may come from being taught by her family, are at odds with this idea.

What did he do? Covertly use money for gambling while keeping the peace at home. But isnt this just lying under the guise of safety? He prides himself on understanding her, yet chooses to ignore her disgust for gambling. This approach keeps things calm on the surface, but it makes a deeper disconnect worse. Even though he respects her, he breaks that respect by doing things she hates. Whats the point of gambling if it breaks trust? This is a gamble not just with money, but with the very foundation of their relationship.
% would really be that differ on each person but literally it is really that safe when it comes to kind of limit. If you are allocating a certain fund then it would be that no sense if you are really that putting all of your
salary or allotment into it. It would really be basically just that normal that control and moderation or else then you are really putting yourself on such big trouble later on. We do know that each person does have their own financial capacity. There are ones who are really that good when it comes budget allocation or bankroll management and there are ones who do really sucks bigtime on this one.
This is why it why it would really be just that important on doing so specially if you are dealing with gambling. Dont risk on the amount on which you cant afford to lose.
Also, our wife is really that too strict on where our monthly salary would go and if you do get that huge slice into those amounts then be prepared on whatever questions would be asked.  Grin
505  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dump market potential? on: December 01, 2023, 08:12:24 PM
It's a total different story about the FTX collapse and what we heard about Binance. It was all about CZ stepping down and them paying billions in restitution to regulators. But we haven't seen any big effect in the market similar to the FTX collapse.

Not even wars or conflict in the Middle East and Russia deter the bitcoin ecosystem. So it means we are not being affected by such events. And only the direct impact to the market is us, if we chooses to believed in those kind of negatives news and we panic and we push the sell button. But hopefully there will be none of that, as the price is steady at the $37k at the end of November.
I think people are afraid because we are talking about the fine, not because CZ stepped down. I mean CZ could have stayed and with that type of fine Binance would still be something scary for them, it has to be because we are talking about something that has to be a bit different.

I think it needs to be a bit different and we need to end up seeing somethign that has to change on the long run. I may not end up with the most amount of profit in the world, but at least I know that Binance will stay fine and BNB will recover and be higher, not because CZ or anything, but because I know they will pay the fine and move on and make that money back. However, some people are afraid of that, they fear paying the fine may make them vulnerable.
I could say that CZ is a smart person on which the reason on why the market didnt dropped down too much because of what happened recently? just because he had prepared for that.
On the time that US did make those kind of actions then he had already made a plan on appointing a new CEO which it didnt really give out that much impact on overall
but now the price did shoot up even more. This is why not all news would really be making that guaranteed dump specially if it was a negative news. This is why its never been that predictable in the first place.
Feel sorry for those who had made out some sell out there on the time this news booms out but the dip wasnt actually a dip.

You should really always put up into our minds that dip or dumps could really happen into this market and not really necessarily that it would really be accompanied
with some news because the price could move up randomly or with or without news.So better be watchful and careful.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: December 01, 2023, 07:31:58 PM
I have been able to claim other bonuses but not referral bonuses and it wasn't really hard except for the condition of wager that I had to abide with and I was lucky with my wagers as they all turned out a win for me so I was able to take advantage of the bonus and got paid.

With referral bonuses I think the ones I have come in contact with also had the wager conditions aswell. I think wager has been the condition attached to these bonuses most times and a few will only say you should stake within a certain range of odds so it at some point makes it almost impossible to withdraw theses bonuses because you may not be lucky enough to win then you may just have to loose the bonus back again to the casino.

Casinos are pretty smart to put that kind of trick for people to keep referring to their casino which would definitely only favor them, cause for sure they won't let you earn money and bonuses without a condition for free. Those wager for sure has a lot of tasks to do for you to claim their bonuses and prizes, cause imagine if almost all of the people tried to achieve those easy task then it would only favor the people, that's why some referral is literally impossible to achieve. And sometimes they would give bonuses for you to be motivated to do some tasks and follow their instruction, cause why not, you will just have to follow some rules to earn free money right? If a wager puts something like a range of odds that is hard that can only be achieved through luck, for sure as you lost money you would try to recover it and they would be having a customer gambling addict.
Its always been a trick and newbie do really usually be ending up on getting caught with these kind of methods because they do really believe that they could cash it out. lol.
Usually people would really be missing out reading up those bonus terms until they would realize on the time that they cant withdraw. Bonuses and promotions are really that subject to
wagering requirement and its been the standard and people should realize this in the first place. Its not a waste of time if you are really just that playing for the sake of fun
but on the time that you are trying out to make money or advantage of it then this is where you do realize that you are really that definitely wrong.

Bonuses are just making things to spice up but on the sense that you could make money then better forget it, unless if you are lucky enough to hit up those wagering requirement
then its good but if its not then dont expect that you could really be able to get out or simply you have bust up all of your balance.
507  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you believe Technical Analysis? on: December 01, 2023, 05:59:15 PM
Technical analysis works perfectly well, it just depends on the user how he or she implements the information. Most people are not disciplined to allow most of these analyses to play out, and they will come and say it doesn't work, another thing is the time frame chosen, if you don't pick the right time frame you will be shaken out of the market at every price movement, so get disciplined and stick to your plan
I think technical analysis works perfectly well in the forex market and does not have much influence in the crypto market.
This is one of the things we need to know if we are forex traders and we have the plan to delve into cryptocurrency market. The cryptocurrency market does not depends more on fundamental analysis because the market can easily be manipulated. There are some tokens that they are easily pumped and dumped and this alone can scatter the market structure and how people had planned to tarde the market.
Technical analysis when used on new altcoins is indeed difficult to work out, but this can be done on top coins, especially bitcoin, which of course becomes increasingly difficult to manipulate, the more people own it and the more it spreads. In technical analysis, of course you have to be able to understand the characteristics of the technique used, because no one technique works perfectly
Technicals doesnt work on new coins specially on new listed ones, prices are really that shooting up and down on intense manner on which on the case that no TA's would really be able to work out on that case.

Speaking about believing about TA's then of course it is really that relevant, who would really be on their right minds on not to make use of these indicators. How they would really be able to handle this unpredictable market in the first place?If ever TA isnt relevant then how you would really be able to handle yourself within this market? By pure guess? By waiting for some events or news?
You would really be finding yourself on such big problem on the time that you would really be that not able to know even with the basic principles on how TA work and how it could help
on trying out to hover yourself on this market.

We know that its never been that so simple and this is why having this kind of knowledge would really be an edge over or compared to those people
who are dealing on this market without even knowing on what they are doing.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: November 30, 2023, 09:57:17 PM
Gambling is not bad after all but addiction is, gambling has been receiving a lot of negative reactions and feedback but gambling also has a lot of health benefits associated with it but you can only get these benefits if you are a responsible gambler and you have total control of what you wage and limit your bankroll

These are some of the benefits to see more of its benefits you can read the whole article here

Can you add more besides what's written in this article?

Surprising Health Benefits of Gambling

Screenshots from: finehomesandliving.com
            
I can confirm from my experience that Gambling really improves mood and relieves stress. When I was very depressed, I used to gamble on live blackjack where I was able to bet small and interact with live dealers. Gambling and chit-chat with them really helped me to improve my mood. It's sad that some people think that they can make millions from gambling and constantly profit from casino because this is not the case. Casino and gambling are for fun, not for profit. You can get a huge fun if you prioritize your fun experience and forget profit. Profit is a nice addition that you can experience if you are lucky. There are only a few games like Poker where skill is involved too along with luck.
I don't about anyone else but I feel gambling only improves my health when I experience some kind of winning and especially when it's uncalled for because at that moment everything I will be doing will be filled with excitement and joy. Gambling sometimes increase my adrenaline pump especially when am out of the zone and tend to be tenced about my gambling habit. The rush of adrenaline just keep me active and hype and sometimes it's can kinda bad but that's the truth about gambling.

It really feels good when winning since it can light up our feelings and it can change our mood to became more happier, but this is temporary feeling only since what more to get on gambling is stress especially for betting some amount since we can't expect to get frequent good result that's why there's no guarantee of profits and joy here.

If we really like to be healthy or can have health benefits on it then its better to quit since we can't get any food feeling here and might this will cause a lot of emotional stress especially if we can't handle some situation especially on financial needs or even on expenses . Truth hurt so expect that some might disagree to our opinion regarding on this topic but as long as it can helpful to people who read it I think everything here is really fine.
Emotions when do gambling could really interchanged on a snap or instant. Yes, you are really just that playing for fun and its a common reaction that on the time that you do lose money then you do get sad
and the worst it would really be keeping on piling up until stress would be felt off and anger but on the time that you do make out some win even if it isnt big then those emotions would be wiped out in an instant
on which it would really be the reason on why it would really be pushing you up further more because you've seen that your bankroll is still on negative and this what makes gambling is a profitable business for its owners because of the emotion and insights on which people are really experiencing on.

For health benefits then i dont see any benefit other than on entertainment but these things could really be changed up instantly and those are the situations above on what i had mentioned.
Thrill and excitement could be there but also it could be changed up with anger and anxiety whenever you are on huge deep losses on which it is really just that normal.
Therefore, it would be always wise that you should really be accepting those possible situations that you might faced on.
509  Economy / Economics / Re: #HODLing is not a smooth journey on: November 30, 2023, 07:43:57 PM
I believe hodling can be split into two categories: those who know how to evaluate and know the market, and those who do not. Many crypto investors rush in and invest without adequate understanding because someone told them to invest in crypto to make a lot of money. As a result, what Op stated is likely true for investors that lack expertise. Those that have wisdom, on the other hand, know when to sell and when to buy again.
And those that who don't know how to evaluate the market looks smarter than those that are experimental with trading and didn't find any success on it.
There are times that the lesser efforts that we do is actually productive than of those that have been trying hard but they don't know what they're  up to in reality.
That's why if those holders just hold because somebody said so and they have obeyed, I guess they're smarter than of those that keeps on trading without knowing how to execute it properly.
It's because that those who did lesser efforts are the ones who didn't rush for the money. They only invest what they can afford to lose and didn't make trading as their primary source of income. Those who are trying hard in trading, study a lot without enough sleep, are the one who experienced big loses in trading. Lack of sleep and losing trades can affect your emotions that's why most of them spend more time in trading. Sometimes, instead of learning to be profitable, their mind is equipped with different strategy that will lead them to lose more money.

Mastering one strategy is better than having multiple strategies.
So you do say that it would be better that you should be sitting idle and wont really be making any actions towards your trading? It doesnt seems right yet there would be people who could really put up some risks

and really that willing to learnt up trading knowing that this is a career that something that could give out some chance for them to earn money on which it is really just that normal that you would be experiencing
unfortunate events. If you are someone who doesnt really like to experience those unfortunate conditions or simply losing money then this venture isnt for you and you would really be just rather holding
than on making yourself do make some active trading on which it is really just that a common approach.

Holding is someones really choice because usually people do have particular reasons on why they are holding, whether they cant just bare up with the risks involved
or they dont really have the time for them to make out such venture and focuses out something.
Active trading requires engagement and market trend research. Holding has such subtlety, right? Not only risk aversion, but strategic choice. For many, holding shows a strong understanding of market cycles. It's not uncommon for holders to watch market dynamics for the opportune timing. This takes time and market psychology knowledge. Selectively active, not inactive. Doesn't this demonstrate wisdom?

Holding or trading actively often depends on personal circumstances and psychology. Some find trading thrilling because it matches their risk tolerance and lifestyle. Others hold because they want long-term stability, meet time limitations, or accept risk. Knowing yourself is more than risk-aversion. In investing, isn't knowing and following one's financial psychology crucial?
Risk tolerance would really be that definitely be totally different on each person and this is why decisions made would really be that entirely be different to each other on which there are some
who might really be taking up some long term holds and there are some who do plans on making some active trading and this would really be entirely be depending on how they would really be that
able to handle such scenario nor situation because we know that when it comes to risks tolerance then each person does have their own threshold on how far they could really be
able to go further.

Holding is never been that a smooth journey considering on the ups and downs of this market and really like that you are seeing a upward market and then a few minutes it turns out to be going down.
Tons of possible factors on which it could possibly affect the overall market movement on which we know that this is really something that highly reactive to fuds and hypes.
This is why on the time that you do step your foot into this market then better you should accept it out and better get prepared on whatever things that you would be able to encounter.
Its never been a smooth journey and this is something that you should expect and be prepared on whatever things that could possibly happen along the way.
510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: November 30, 2023, 05:49:08 PM
Recently I decided to risk only 1 percent of my gambling portfolio into each bet. This makes my bet risk free as I know that even if I lose the bet i will lose only 1% of my gambling money.

How sure are you going to know that the only risk you took was only on 1% and nothing more, we should know that gambling alone is taking a risk to bet on wether to loose or win which is a 50 by 50 percent perfect risk, now the kind of game we played also has it constituents along this risk, am not saying that we cannot even use a single 1 percent probabiliy to win a bet, but the chances in relation to the probabilities are very small and weak.
Bolded part!

Mentioned about having that 1% of his bankroll and not with the odds that he's been talking. Two things are different and this is why it would really be that important that you should really know
on how to read up at least on what are the things that had been said or mentioned out so that you could really be able to respond basing up on what had been said.

Risking out 1% of your bankroll then it is really that a good approach but do we really believe that gamblers would really be patient enough and tends to make things stay put on longer runs?
For sure with a couple of losses then you would really be pretty sure you would be changing up those percentages and you would really be that ending up on
betting even more until you do go all in.  Grin
511  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Market on the Rise, But Proceed with Caution! on: November 30, 2023, 11:19:50 AM
Everyone who invests in cryptocurrency does so with caution and most of the time people experience volatility, yet they don't get emotional. If the investment was emotional, then it might never have made a profit, so everyone waits for a certain period of time. And you never know by investing when the Bitcoin market will go down and when it can go up so you have to think about this decision. When you invest knowingly, you will have a confidence and plan to profit from it. But if you buy the currency when the market price is rising then it may be your mistake, but if you buy when the price is low then you have an initiative to buy at the right time. However, investing in the market need never be so volatile but invest carefully for long term, it will always give you confidence in investing.
Whether you do like it or not, as long on the time that you had considered yourself on stepping your foot into this market then it would really be that inevitably for you not to realize or learn up on how this market behaves.
Market could neither go down or up, this is why it would really be always recommended that you should really know on when to exit and when to enter and this is where technical analysis would really be that relevant.
You wont really be able to survive if you wont really be that making yourself wise when it comes to decision making on which this is something that you could really be able to learn up along the way.
Proceed always with caution specially on to those times where hypes and fuds do happen in the market on which this is usually traders or investors do mess up their portfolio.

You should be wise, you should be that patient, you should be attentive and you should really be not that emotional. You would really be finding yourself at great trouble
if you cant really be able to control yourself.

This is not the first time bookies have provided a place for betting on war, as far as I know on the Ukrainian and Russian wars there were several bookies that provided bets on who would win or how many casualties would fall on either side. This is disgusting, how could someone have the heart to post a bet like this. What if this happened to them? Don't they have a little heart to grieve? or at least just ignore it if they don't think it's important.
I think the bookies should take action against this, because it's disgusting how these fools bet on something that really shouldn't be bet on.
If this isn't the first time bookies have provided slots to bet on wars, then I think this world entirely is the most atrocious place to live in... honestly. How could several sportmakers use
Its fake, so theres no point on telling or making out discussions about this. There would be no bookmakers would really be including this one out and just like the rest been saying that its never been that ethical.
Checking out previous replies as if they do really think that this one is really that real, no legit bookies will really be that making this kind of betting and it would never be.
If this one turns out to be that real then i dont see for it to be that ethical on betting on it, you are making bets on someones lives? Its never been that good in feeling.

First of, hope you do actually realize that the image was just Photoshoped and not actually real. And yeah it would be the most ridiculous thing of bookies and casinos were to make available options for player to bet on war, lol, I have never heard of anything like this and it sound kinda funny that someone's mind could even conceive such an idea. Indeed people are full of surprises lol
Totally funny and it doesnt really make any sense and in the first place, for sure lots of people had checked out and and thought that it was actually for real. Cheesy
513  Economy / Speculation / Re: What did you think will happen to Bitcoin before January? on: November 29, 2023, 08:57:36 PM
No one can accurately predict how the price of Bitcoin will move before January 2024. Currently, the bitcoin market is in a good trend where the price of bitcoin has experienced a significant increase to reach $37k. However, anything could happen at the end of this year, it could be that the price of bitcoin will be corrected again before experiencing a significant increase. Therefore, let's see how far the price of bitcoin will move at the end of this year until the beginning of next year.
Though I totally understand that the market is highly volatile and it doesn't necessarily have to move in the same way as it did in the past, I'm still pretty optimistic for an uptrend in the first couple of months of 2024 because the same happened this year and since we are in the pre-bull-run phase right now, I would expect that to happen again since after a few months in the new year, we will have the halving event which is considered to be the bull run initiator though it doesn't have to be that way all the time.

So, I'm not expecting any big corrections in December, even if it does correct itself, it won't go any lower than the $34k - $33k range and will start recovering again once we hit the new year and hopefully, by the time of the halving event, the price will be around $45k or roughly $50k, in my opinion.
The halving event is the catalyst and the beginning of a new bull season, but don't forget one thing. Historically, an uptrend will appear some time after the halving event ends, usually 6 months or 1 year. So, we should not be too optimistic that there will be no more bearishness and bitcoin will only rise and rise from now on.

I don't know why the OP is questioning the bitcoin price before January, but I believe that the bitcoin price will still decline and correct before and after the halving. We won't be entering bull season anytime soon without another correction.
Better to focus on trying out to predict on what would happen after the halving event rather than on stressing ourselves thinking before the halving. Its true that this one would be the catalyst of everything on which you did really get a point and this is the most nearest thing on which we could really be able to observed on. Somewhat its not really that bad to make some spot on in regards on potential price entries or the moment you do
make out position with the current prices. For example, we are making investment on 38k  level, then it would be so impossible that you wont really be thikning for possible dip or correction?
In every step you would make, there would really be that a specific hesitance and worry because of volatile and unpredictable prices.

In speaking about prices in January, then there's no way that we could be able to know or on whats ahead. This is why there's lots of speculations and guesses around
about the upcoming price specially on year 2024 where everything would really be looking interesting for that next year. Lets see on what would happen and it would be
wise that you should really be making your position before its too late.

I don't care about this promotional video, so it's no big deal what's in it.

What matters is that this fight will happen as scheduled. In reality, this fight doesn't need much effort to market because people will certainly watch it. More marketing might be necessary if the fight were held in neutral territory, but given that it's in Japan where Inoue is currently the best boxer, this isn't needed. People will watch and support him regardless.

And that's why promotional videos are made, because there is already a scheduled fight. If there is no promotion or marketing of this fight, we will not known about it. However, since this is going to happen again in Inoue's backyard, definitely, it won't get any from the US soil specially that he is fighting a non-US fighter.

Only hard core boxing fans are going to watch it from the States. And so it's really betting for Inoue to get out of his comfort zone and go to US as we have been saying.

So promotions are needed even if the fight is going to be in Japan just saying, boxing fans are everyone involved knows that it's needed.

And that's why there are fight that have storyline and hype to make money and let the fans knows that.
Despite of staying on Japan as his battleground and doesnt have the plans on touching up US soil then when it comes to fight revenue then expect that it would be less but since this fight isnt something that could be ignored then people would really be definitely be watching it specially into those local people on which it would really be that normal that they would be showing that support. Doesnt matter if he wont really be
trying to right into other places or country as long he's building up his career records then this is something that they would really be focusing but if they are really having plans when it comes to more
revenue or money making in each fight then it would be best that he should really be going out.

Inoue is already making a name for himself specially on boxing world. Trying out to unify the belt as of this moment with this current weigh division. POpularity would increase if he
would be doing that again on beating up Tapales but lets not remove into our minds about those probabilities considering that Tapales is also a champion so
underestimating him would really be not idea.

If you want to be rich sell to rich kids.
Now let's talk about homeless people in USA and CANADA.
The world don't know that many of those homeless people are from the rich families.
And If they been spending years no stop then even they will get a lot money they still can lose it fast.
Once the old pals will die like joe Biden who's hard working and tough guy then their kids will go broke.
Canada and USA have the same problem and Im not just talking i know personally those kids who use to have money but now they are dead homeless or drug atticts.
This is the reason why USA and Canada native race become smaller and hard working indviduals taking over the country while native people falling.
You looking from TV and see that homeless people you think they born poor but it's not case i've met with many who use to drink and Party in Europe bahamas like 100-300k easy in one year and now they are broke.
Once the guys like joe Biden will go away their kids can't handle nothing maximum will be that they easy targets for foreign sharp minded people to take advanched of the situation.
Sons or daughters who are living on having a wealthy or rich family would be most likely be ending up on this one but actually parenting does play a great role when it comes to this matter on which your kids
wont really be ending up on a disaster if you are a parent whose really that have that kind of minding about your kids possibility of going lost of track specially if they are really that having  that too much
access on everything since you give them money.Its understandable that we do really love on giving them the most comfortable thing into their lives on which they wont really be struggling on something
but we should really be making it some moderation because if we dont then they would be possibly go into those things which arent supposed to be there like having drugs, gambling, spending carelessly.
It is really that truly a disaster if you do see your kids on such situation, therefore it would really be just that normal that if there's someone that could be blame then those parents
does have that kind of responsibilities too but of course not everything should be blamed because there are ones who are really that well trained or teaching them everything but still
it turns out to be useless or pointless.
516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: November 28, 2023, 06:59:39 PM
Having that knowledge and having the right mindset when you are already inside gives you the chance to stay or to keep your composure,  as knowing the risk and still continuing your participation will give you lesser chances of becoming addicted,  if you know and understand everything,  you can control and be responsible enough to avoid addiction.
We know the basic fundamentals of the system, some of us derived joy in ruining our plans unexpectedly, when we continue to gamble without any plans for proper entry, just triggering positions because we just wany to win, we forgets that there's existence of serious hardwork, because we're easily moved by what we see, talking about what we see, I mean we're more open to gambling and it consumed the higher portions of our activities and mind. There are numerous tips to stay on the lane of been a responsible gambler in the system. We're not here to make accounts for losses, rather we're here to milk the system.
However, we must be able to be responsible and control ourselves while gambling so that we don't get addicted. Many people have lost their responsibilities while gambling until they end up gambling too often and not controlling themselves. It was a big mistake for them because they didn't remember what their purpose was in gambling and what they had to be able to gamble safely. Yes, we are easily moved and tempted by what we see, but if we have responsibility, self-control, and so on, we can definitely take good care of ourselves. We can also prevent ourselves from gambling excessively.
Regret is always at the end and if you are really that careless when it comes to things specially on decision making and the common decisions that needs to be done then you are really that susceptible into lots of errors.
This is why you should really be that sensible on whatever things that you would gonna do. Being responsible is the key, you wont really be finding yourself to be that addicted if you are just mindful with your actions.
517  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you pay for signals? And how much ? on: November 28, 2023, 06:19:56 PM
Dlyou pay for signals? And how much ?
What's your monthly expenses for trading signals? Yearly?
I don't pay but i read alot people pay for signals so how good results If this ?
Crypto price are very volatile and when a trading call is made by the so call paid signal service providers the price of that particular crypto pair must have move ahead or below the call price of course the subscriber would have enter a trade at wrong entry except if it is buy or sell limit call, thus I don't subscribe to those servics,  I have personally experience live trades and I knew how fast price of crypto moves and reverse thus paying for any signal service amount to wasting of money and most of those providers made their money from their subscribers I would have imagine that a very good and experience signal provider would have trade on their own and make massive profit instead of paid service.
You should be quick if you dont like on getting behind and this is why it would be that so crucial if we do speak about time because once you missed it then there's no way on getting back.
Some will really be just telling that the signal provider that they are paying doesnt give out efficient or something profitable without even trying to look with their mistakes then they are the ones who would really be needing to be blamed but just like on what most people been saying on here that signal providers are just speculators just like us, the things that they are providing then this is something
that we can also do but if you are that too lazy then this is where you do choose this as an option.

Paying for signals is never been worth and just a waste of money but if its free then it isnt bad but if its needing up some sub fees then i won bother on doing so.
So it would be just that better if you do make on your own and this is something much more worth or better because you could be able to
make use of your own skill in the future and as you do go ahead then you do make yourself more better.
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not this guy on: November 28, 2023, 03:22:56 PM

I've get to know that not all gamblers need to be a responsible gambler, some knows, they are not hypnotized by gambling, they are fully awake and they still choose to be a reckless gambler.

You forgot to mention what’s the financial of this guy whether he is ultra rich, poor or middle class because this understandable if he has a lot of money to spare on gambling in exchange for entertainment but this is alarming if he is just poor or average wealth that has family to support.

We have different reasons on why we gamble and probably this guy has something he believes that’s why he keeps on trying. His action is really alarming for us but we don’t know the full story and his financial status to make a proper assessment on his action.
This is true, if he's still that playing until now then it do basically means that he's a rich guy on which sustaining for too long despite of losses instead of win then it is safe to assume that he do have
tons of money because if someone who do have less or not really that financially capable then it is really safe to say that someone is really just that poor or average.
Just let him be on what are the things that he would be planning to do because if we do tend to look at at it then it would really be that just that normal that its none of our business on how they would be spending their money. If they dont care about their losses then so be it.

People would usually stop on the time that they are experiencing hardship but if not then expect that they will continue as they please, as long they do have the money
that they could spend and have the funds that they could be able to make use on. People would usually be that stopping completely if they werent that
capable on doing so and this had been always the concept.
519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: November 26, 2023, 08:07:26 PM
Hodling and trading has always been a debate in the Bitcoin crypto space.Are they different? Of course yes.Hodling is a term used to describe owning Bitcoin in a wallet especially for a long period of time.While trading on the other hand refers to the selling and buying of Bitcoin through an exchange.
 Both Hodling and trading have some similarities such as ;

1. The use of wallets to store Bitcoin.
2. For both trading or hodling to be possible you must own Bitcoin. Although trading requires a minimum amount of coins, hodling does not.
3. Both require you to understand how to secure your coins to avoid hacks or loss of funds.

Nevertheless, despite these similarities hodling and trading are also distinct this is due to the fact that hodling is usually long termed ( hodling appreciates better during long term.) however trading returns come from short term fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin.Due to the uniqueness of Bitcoin,some  persons tend to choose hodling over trading due to some advantages such as;

1. Ease ; hodling Bitcoin saves you the stress of understanding marketing strategies and little price fluctuations As you only store the Bitcoin in your wallet without transacting.(successful trading requires constant research and experience)

2. Transaction Costs ; Hodling comes with a lower transaction cost which is from depositing the Bitcoin in your wallet. However trading incures cost due to frequent transactions especially when the network is congested.

3. Long-Term  Gains ;Over time Bitcoin  has shown promising potential in it's price.Hodling  helps you benefit from the long term potential of Which in most cases appreciates better than little price gains from trading.

4. Security; Hodling your Bitcoin gives you a better option of making use of offline wallets such as air gapped wallets or hardware wallets,As they deem more secure than online wallets
 
With all these being  said it is important to note that hodling shitcoin is not advisable due to their exponentially high volatility which may lead to severe loss if not properly managed.
Trading and hodling is always a choice as they indirectly serve as balance to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Don't forget to keep your keys safe 😁
I think that you forgot to mention the most important thing: if you do trading, there is the possibility to lose everything. If you just hold, then there is virtually no risk. I say virtually because of course you need to know how to store your keys and keep your wallet safe, otherwise someone could steal your funds.
No matter which way you would go, there's always a risks but they do really differ on certain extent and this is why it will really be your choice and your own responsibility on how you will really be handling up yourself
into these conditions on which it is normal that mistakes and errors could happen along  the way. Holding is less risk, yes but potential on holding for more long because of market crash or bear market then this is something that people or investors do like because they will really be that needing to take for couple or 5 years almost for a cycle before they could see those price to break even and this is why not all would
be opting out on holding but instead they would be actively trading it.

Even myself do find out that im not really that having that long patience when it comes to investing, i do get easily bored when i dont able to see profits in short time
and this is why i do really make out short trades but of course im aware of the risks involved and this is something that a must thing to have on each person.
Go into things on which you do most prefer.
520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: November 26, 2023, 05:46:54 PM
It's true that some elderly people may become more demanding or difficult as they age. This can be due to a number of factors, such as changes in health, cognitive decline, or social isolation. In the case of gambling, it's important to remember that it is an addictive behavior. Just like any other addiction, it can be very difficult for people to control their gambling once they've developed a problem. This is true for people of all ages, including elderly adults.

But I believe that those elderly experienced gamblers who associate gambling with entertainment and the thrill of potential winnings are people who have self-aware, caution and responsibility, because all those adrenaline turbulence in gambling wouldn't affect them.
Responsible gambling means being in control of all your gambling activities from protecting your funds to avoiding gambling addiction every detail is essential. Unfortunately most physically ill older are unable to manage their gambling activities effectively. Adult experienced gamblers have more knowledge when faced with difficult situations but they can bring everything under control so they take less risk. There are many older veterans who are self-aware but their performance declines with age so it is better not to gamble.
I have been gambling for a very long time and have been among gamblers almost my entire life. Let me tell you something, I haven't seen a gambler who gambles responsibly, at least not how the definition goes. People rage and lose more, it's very common.

But there are people who come out of the bad session and are able to focus on other things while others (addicted) just cannot forget the loss and lose interest in other things such as their job, family, etc and that's when gambling becomes a problem.

So, a more relevant question should be "Why do you want to quit gambling" rather than "when to quit".
Usually people would only quit on the time that they literally cant be able to gamble, just because they dont have the money that they could really be able to spend but on the time that they do really still have the funds
then stopping will be out of their vocabulary on which it is really just that a normal approach. Just let them be, usually gamblers are hard headed, stopping will really be always in the end of the line on which on the time that there's nothing that they could pull into their own pockets. We are just the ones who do lead up ourselves into disaster just because of our greed and being stubborn.

It isnt really on the age you do have before you should quit gambling because neither young or old, you are that susceptible to addiction on which this would really be that resulting
into that kind of situation which you would be suffering on huge losses or having that huge effect into your finances if you arent that careful.
Retiring is something that you could ask for those long time gamblers that had been playing and become that sustainable, for new ones? I dont think that it would fit out.
