Sounds like this fella is regretting for selling his bitcoin for a laptop, you know what op? It's actually bad not to recognise your own level of achievement, it's like your are not appreciative, buying that laptop is for your own good, you have a goal of becoming a freelancer and other, you did very well and you don't know it, what a shame.

Bitcoin is not going anywhere, someone somewhere is just starting his or her Bitcoin journey today and they start acculating already, so there is still time for you, learn what you want to learn first and start making some money, you will even find it easier to DCA into Bitcoin.

Having a source of income can be very helpful when you want to start investing in Bitcoin, you are far better than those that have no job, they will will on panic if Bitcoin dumps because they don't have anymore money to DCA but you having a source of income won't worry you much when price dump, instead you will focus on more accumulation every week.

Step by step OP, step by step.

Gambling deserves 1% of your entire money you make, because it's the most risky way of making money, at this level of risk you will feel more comfortable, at least what you are risking isn't much, with this type of amount you can also get the same entertainment that everyone is talking about.

If what you are risking is much your mind won't be on the fun or entertainment side, you only want to make some money and also you don't want to lose your money, greedy gamblers are the ones that have no fun in gambling, because they can't afford what they are risking on gambling yet they want to walk home with big amount of money.

Sometimes I even risk less than 1% in gambling because that's what I can afford depending on the situation at home, when you have people that are counting on you to survive you need to be a strategic person, I have a family at home and they are counting on me, there are bills to pay and other, how can someone like me be reckless with gambling.

With the risks that comes with gambling is why people must first learn to gamble responsibly, lives are getting destroyed because of irresponsible gambling and some are completely addicted with no fix solution to make them get out of their addiction, a brother in my family got addicted and it was a tough battle for his to escape that reality, it got to a point where his parent almost disowned him, I am happy he got over it and now he learned his lesson.

Accept gambling for what it is, it's a quick way of making money and any quick way of making money even outside of gambling comes with huge risks, there is high probability that you will throw your money away, that's why you need to be prepared, don't be too greedy when gambling, risk only what you can afford to Lose.

Gambling isn't something you should be spending all your time and energy on, find something useful for yourself and others, a man of skills will never go broke as his level of skills will be needed and so money will follow, we can't say the same with gambling, all gamblers are in the dark, crawling on the ground trying to find their way out.
524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 02, 2023, 10:20:12 AM
I think it will easily destroy you, there is no way to keep cool gambling everyday like it's your job, losses will visit you almost all the time and you will get mad at yourself, you can't be a responsible gambler gambling everyday like it's a profession.

It's not even advisable to gamble without having a job, because you need money even if it's very small, to take risk and see if you will win or lose, since you will be using small part of your money you won't lose your cool, as you must have been ready to lose that money anyway.

I know there are people that does nothing in their lives but gambling, but they don't do it every day and they don't gamble all around the clock like going to work by 9 am and going back home at 5 pm, that's crazy.
525  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Guys, what's the best Bitcoin wallet for PC these days? on: November 30, 2023, 05:26:49 AM
I will rather go with Electrum wallet, because I don't want to download and sync the whole blockchain data, that's going to be costly for someone with limited internet data, with Electrum wallet there is no need, and it's a non-custodial wallet too.

The safety of your wallet depends on how you secured its private key or phrases, make sure that you don't share it with anyone, keep it offline in a safe location, avoid cloud storage and email account.

Just so you know, hardware wallet is still much safer than PC wallets and smartphone crypto wallets, if you have some money you should order for a hardware wallet.
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: November 29, 2023, 10:37:29 AM
If that's what you thinking, you've misunderstood the warnings, it's not about you never winning, it's about you losing it all back to gambling if you don't know what you are doing.

Now the question is what do you plan to do with the money you won? Keep gambling just like others? Gambling will take everything back if you don't know what you are doing.

The only thing you do right is risking small money and you can't tell me that you've never lost a lot of money in sports betting before winning this, I have many friends that are into sports betting, they win and they lose, they should have use the money they won to turn their lives around, instead they keep gambling, now it doesn't make any difference.

Establish yourself with this money, and keep using small amount for gambling if you can't move on, this is an opportunity seized, do not expect the same thing to happen another time, possible but very low chance, and don't bet on it.
527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: November 29, 2023, 09:13:37 AM
Obviously holders have a long time preference and traders are trying to get rich quick. The crazy thing is that even knowing Bitcoin is the greatest performing asset in human history, people still want to trade it instead of holding it. Even with all the billionaires holding has created and all the people who lost everything trading, people still think they’re going to trade themselves to wealth, missing out on doing so by not holding.
You are right OgNasty, but how about those traders that are very good at trading? Some are making fortune from trading only, I know like two brothers who are living the dream because of trading, I know that majority of traders are not professionals but some are really doing so well with trading.

I accept that holding is the best thing to do in crypto space, it erase the exposure of risks everyday trading and losing part of your assets, and it's very straight forward, just find a way to survive for long you will do really well, but people somehow prefer earning some money per day, even if it's very low in value they seem to prefer it to holding for longterm.

528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Request to learn gambling on: November 29, 2023, 08:23:49 AM
Well, this is another serious matter, and I had to discourage her.

It's about an old female friend who posted me just about two days ago; her request was for me to teach her how to gamble at any easy casino that she will understand so quickly and make money. Her motive for making this kind of request is because she wants a second source that she can use to earn extra income. I explained what gambling truly is, and I discouraged her from learning how to gamble.

Now, there's a simple question that I want to ask: do you guys think I should introduce her to gambling? If yes, what's the easiest game she can stake in and also enjoy while gambling?
It's good that you scared her off, even if she later change her mind and go with gambling, whatever happens won't be on you, gambling isn't something you can just teach people, because you will easily stain your white, they will surely lose money, unlike buying bitcoin and hold, the risk is very limited compare to gambling, the only thing that can go wrong with Bitcoin is losing your private key.

If she ever comes back and force you, make sure you tell her to use $1 or less on gambling for a week or two, to at least see how the experience feels like, tell her the secret of gambling, to me the secret of gambling is fund or bankroll management, if you can go with low risk as possible you will be fine.

Gambling is the last thing you want to teach a beginner, all blames will be coming on you for sure, but with the looks of things she seem desperate, and we both know what happens to every desperate gambler, they get addicted easily.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: November 29, 2023, 07:55:30 AM

I have always advised people not to take gambling seriously but I myself became heavily addicted to live blackjack from stake.com and kept winning and losing. In this case I will not blame the gambling site because they give live cards. I started the game with just $20 but gradually I got addicted to it and wanted to gamble and win bigger amounts by depositing bigger amounts. I lost $1700 playing this way then I decided to play with a much bigger amount and recover all the losses then quit gambling for this I borrowed 270000 BDT ($2180) from the bank and deposited there. But unfortunately I lost them. Now I am financially so weak that it has become very difficult to meet my family expenses and I owe the bank $2180 which will take me a long time to pay off. Now it will take about 2 years for my financial situation to be normal again. Gambling addiction set back my normal life by 2 years. I am a victim of real experience and I am sharing my real experience with you.  Don't make the same mistake I did.  And never decide to gamble with a loan. If you do, your situation may be similar to mine. so beware of gambling
So you have a family? Why are you thinking about them now that you've messed up this bad? You are a greedy person, who only thinks about what they will get, if you care for your family you wouldn't have risk this much money.

The problem starts when you decide to increase the amount you normally use before, it's all your fault that you become a gambling addict, taking loan for anything is the beginning of peoples problem, as loan is situated for people who have collateral they can use to pay back their loan if something they don't expect happens.

Loan isn't for someone who is struggling and if you have no choice you should only borrow what you can easily refund, even if the worst happen, for example right now I can take loan up to $200 max, because anything over this amount won't be comfortable for me to return or pay up.

Learn from your lesson, there is nothing else I can say.

It's not easy to be a casino owner, many people set their minds in the money making part but not the challenges that comes with owning a casino, it's not easy as you think.

To be a successful casino owner you need to check out gambling website reviews on your own, have taste of what users are complaining about, might be on the tech side or even the games, focusing on customers experience is what will take you higher, if customers gets a new vibe and experience using your casino they will always come back.

Valuing and respecting customers and employees also have it's part to play, you need to make people around you feel valuable, a welcoming environment is very helpful for your business.

Also learn to stay ahead of the game by been flexible and adaptive, business strategy is very crucial to make a casino function better, if you want to run over other competitors this have to be considered.

You also need to invest a lot of money on development and trained workers, a greedy business owners always end up with unqualified employees, because they are too stingy to pay the right amount for the qualified people.

All these are a big challenges for someone like me, I have always think about how rich you can be when you have a casino of your own but I am not ready for all these challenges.
531  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest only in Bitcoin and never invest in shitcoin on: November 28, 2023, 11:26:51 AM
I've invested in a lot of shitcoins in the past and the reason why they failed is because they are all bad projects, some projects that are so useful today are all from.2019 and 2020, like Matic, Avalanche, Solana, there is no way you would have lose money investing in the projects unless you held them through the bull market and they dump, but still they are building.

These projects are not as strong as Bitcoin, that's a fact but it's ridiculous to believe that all other alternative coins are bad, instead of joining the crew of alt haters I use them to make money than Bitcoin and buy more Bitcoin with my gains.

Many people are already hating on Bitcoin Ordinals because of the transaction fee, some are calling it shitcoin type of 2023 but let's wait and see how many will make crazy gains from Ordinals, I believe it's going to happen, they might die later but if you know how the whole market works you will do so better.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Not this guy on: November 28, 2023, 09:41:55 AM
There is some certain amount of money that you will lose and you will be so pissed and probably quit, but not this guy.

I've been talking a lot about how people should learn to be a responsible gambler but there is a crazy gambler that I just meet, from a friends friend, the crazy thing about this person is how about how much he has lost in gambling, enough to go south in the ear of others and he has never made any big gains to cover what he has lost, the crazy part is...

This guy is giving me a weird vibe, like a different gambling breed, he knows he have the gambling addiction problem but he just doesn't care, like for real, he doesn't care, the amount he has lost is in six figures but very weird how he is able to handle it.

Some gamblers are different breed to be honest, they don't care about what their present situation is, if they are breathing they are good, anyone know crazy gambler who don't care if they lose big amount of money and they still gamble?

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.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best game with a cryptocurrency deposit? on: November 28, 2023, 09:12:15 AM
Almost 99% of all casinos accepts cryptocurrency deposits, what are you talking about? Most aviator casinos I have come across are scams, they have normal odds up to X100 and other stuffs but they are not licensed, most are taking advantage of people online.

I know one or two that are from audited platforms but it doesn't matter because no one on this forum even cares about such games, they are more into sports and other common games in casinos, I also noticed you have a different motive for creating this topic OP.

It's like you are trying to promote that casino and I think it's not a smart thing to do on here because you are dealing with numbers of smart people that can read through anything you post on the forum.

Thanks for sharing what you know but sorry people don't care, Jet rush and crash games are what many people already know about, it's not new.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... on: November 27, 2023, 11:13:05 AM
OP if someone like you is living closer to my area I would have love to visit you and we will both visit some casinos together, asking gamblers how many wins they have got this month so far, the result will shock someone like you because it seems you strongly believe that one can make money consistently with gambling.

You claimed that some people may not be into gambling themselves yet they are talking nonsense about gambling, do you know how easy it is for everyone to become a gambler? This is the fastest thing to reason when you want to make money, most people are into gambling, even offf this forum.

I have gambled many times and today I still gamble, and I am telling you right now that they way you manage your bankroll is the only thing that makes you a better gambler, everything else is fake, luck isn't something that comes to you consistently, how do you think that you can keep winning consistently? With what method? How many old gamblers do you know that have shared their past years of gambling with you?
535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What one change to Bitcoin can make it's adoption faster? on: November 27, 2023, 10:16:46 AM
Many people knows that my fiat currency is worst and devaluating almost every week but they still can't accept that Bitcoin will solve this problem.

Some are waiting for the government to announce that everyone should own Bitcoin for their own future sake which is impossible.

Some still think that the government are so smart that they see through all things, no one wants the best for them than their government.

Bitcoin is not perfect like you said but it's not as worst as the rulers of this centralized world, unfortunately people are just too blind to see, and there is no way to change their minds.

What will be of benefit if non believers in what Bitcoin actually does are stating to adopt Bitcoin? It makes no sense, so gradual adoption is way better, let every slow down with Bitcoin adoption, it's for the greater good.
536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Platforms Where You Get The Same Level Of Enjoyment Like You Do In Gambling on: November 27, 2023, 09:25:25 AM
There are other fun things I do that are way more entertaining to me than gambling, like watching movies, I am a big fan of Hollywood and South Korea movies, I spent most of my free times doing this than something else, especially with my partner, I am glad we both loves the same thing, apart from gambling.

I also like playing video games on consoles but movies takes most of my time than anything else, I am able to do all this now because things have change a lot in my life compare to before I get married, thanks to crypto and Bitcoin, I spent years on investment to have the kind of life I am living right now, it wasn't this east back then.

I like to gamble only if I have some money that I don't need, my responsibility always come first, gambling money most times don't make it back to me due to losses, but some fun and entertainment cost you nothing, it's your choice to choose which one you want to go with at a given time.
537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Many Bets to Know How Good Enough You Are? on: November 27, 2023, 08:43:38 AM
The most harmless way of gambling is to risk what you can afford to lose, by enough time with your money, I mean don't go around using all you have in your balance, play countless rounds with money less than a dollar, do the math yourself, because the more chances you have with more rounds of games the possible you will win.

Been good at gambling is not about how many times you win, it's actually how many shots you throw at gambling using what you can afford to lose, if you are a pro at managing your bankroll you are a good gambler, this is pretty much everything you should focus on.

I am not good at winning in gambling but I am good at using my money to my own taste without feeling bad if I lose it all, because I stand on using small amount of money and using that money to buy many rounds of games, I have never wager too much money.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: November 26, 2023, 04:25:07 PM
You are not responsible in gambling with your financial condition and your economy you have to suffer a lot of problem in future because that will force you to gamble reckless you are not aware with your financial condition at the end of day you see your full of losses. Responsibility as a gambler is needed and essential gambling is a connected with life will lead. Many management don't be greedy don't play reckless gambling. Gambling is not a game I think the part of life which is applied for earning.
Having responsibility when gambling is very necessary so that our gambling activities are not excessive and we will not experience problems. But most gamblers don't pay attention to this and tend to continue gambling even when they have experienced a losing streak. They should be able to think about just stopping gambling after a lucky loss to reduce the possibility of experiencing another loss. They are still tempted to continue gambling because they want to recover their losses and chase wins, even though many gamblers have tried it but failed halfway. They can't stop gambling when they win because their greed becomes too big and makes them continue gambling, which causes them to experience a lot of problems. They will not think about these problems because they have become addicted to gambling, so they cannot stop gambling either. They have lost their responsibility when gambling, so they need help from other people.
It doesn't cost a thing to become an addicted gambler, once you set your goals in your mind, you will start pursuing that goal, you ain't going to stop until you achieve it and if luck isn't on your side you will be in a free fall into gambling addiction.

The first thing to do is not to have a goal, have the mind of trying out and see, accept gambling for what it is, nothing but a game of good and bad luck, gambling isn't your job or a good source of income, it should be handled like having fun going to the circus with your family when you have the free time, and whatever money you spend that day if gone, all go into fun.

If you can compose yourself in such manner then you will have less expectations in gambling, this will also make you risk less money gambling, you will be able to handle your bankroll and know what you are capable of losing.
539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most important thing in a betting site on: November 26, 2023, 03:03:07 PM
I want a plain online casino, no drama, I will prefer if they ask for KYC straight away not until I plan to make some higher withdrawal, also their customer services must be top notch.

Which platform I will choose to gamble on is on me, reputation is very important as this will give me confidence that I am gambling on a licensed casino with regulated and audited games, because some online casinos are all cheaters with their games, not all their fair.

This is why I have problem with brand new casinos, they are still trying to build up their rep, meaning that anything can still happen and not everything will be perfect, but they way they make their customers feel through customers services is very important, if there is no sense of feeling safe among the customers they will look for other options.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy with unusual/strange gambling sites on: November 26, 2023, 02:33:17 PM
OP you are just lucky, not all ads can be trusted, most times they are trap and if this was one of them you would have walked straight into the trap, you gamble your way to finding a new casino website, this is a wrong move, if you know what's good for you, do not repeat the same thing again, you can land in bigger problem if you are not careful in future.

Mind you, I will like to know the name of this casino, there is more than many people know about online security, there might be someone on going in the background that you don't even know, like what @lovesmayfamilis said, make sure you don't drop any information for the casino, do not pass KYC yet, you need to do some investigation first.

If you are able to withdraw it makes no difference, they might be after other things than you know, I dislike this manner of approach with new casinos, your device might be compromised already, stop clicking on ads, it's a not a safe thing to do.
