521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you will do? on: August 18, 2023, 02:05:28 AM
Everyone must have experienced loss, whether it's a big or small loss. And he experienced loss more often than he won. Has anyone ever experienced boredom playing gambling because they have been losing more often than winning? If anyone has experienced this, what did you do?

I'm giving out a poll to find out what all of you did and which one all of you voted for the most. I choose the number one because if I can take a break from playing gambling, I feel that I can handle my emotion with good, which can save some money. I already tried to take a break for a while to calm myself down and that worked for me.
This is like when you feel bored with a certain game. What will you do? You'll quit the game, right? This also goes to Gambo; I do take a break and come back until I miss it. I am not that heavy a gambler, which is why sometimes it takes me a long time, like a few months, to get back and play, and even if I think it is still boring, I still don't play until I miss it. Continue playing while you are bored, and you'll lose the fun and also your time as you aren't enjoying it.

Elon is very obsessed with the letter X, and based on what I've read, he will really put everything X on his products or everything he wants because it is somewhat unknown to him that he wants to discover and show it to the world and help humanity. Though for sure Elon has a deep meaning to it, mostly he is really wanting X everywhere, which I've also seen as a futuristic approach, like this will be happening in a few decades right now, given how advanced we are.

Building an apartment as a business here in my country is much profitable than building a house and post it for rent online.

Mostly if you are into metro or in a capital city, this is really a go-to for most middle-class people and even others renting that can't afford a whole house. Also, subdivisions right now are in demand, and a lot of people are finding this because we know that you own a house unlike an apartment, but both of them are expensive. Mostly, if we are talking about shelter, it is really expensive right now and always in demand by people.

💻Why do many people always step on the same rake??? 😼

1️⃣. Greed, lack of knowledge and patience. They just want "easy money". We do not intend to wait for the "market to give". Everyone wants a lot in the moment. As a rule, they are always super poor (crazy. displays of who a person is in real life).


This is really what most of us do at the start. I mean, imean because of greed that is going to earn money immediately, we somewhat took the HYIP investment because we thought that was the only way we could earn, and just imagine it is really easy to double your money and you aren't thinking the opposite of it. We get blinded by greed and want just to sit on our couch and do anything. This is also the case with not learning to trade; we just want to wait for signals, which we know are really a loss in the long run.
525  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Passive income with crypto on: August 17, 2023, 12:19:17 PM
Keep looking for a passive income in crypto; for sure, you'll end up getting scammed in a HYIP or Ponzi scheme, mostly if you are a newbie because you want a shortcut and don't do the dirty work. If you really learn crypto deeply, for sure, you won't find any kind of this passive income except staking, but again, it won't last long, so it is better to invest in holding bitcoin or doing trading.
526  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter on: August 17, 2023, 10:06:41 AM
I can honestly say that many people around me have complained about the radical change efforts on twitter. maybe Musk's mistake is that he can't tell us exactly the platform he wants to create. but people don't seem to want any other innovation on twitter except for minor improvements. i think he wants to make it a platform where more crypto aware people can use it and get some work done, but i think it's too early for that. as you said, millions of ordinary people use this platform and he should make it a more democratic and user request based platform instead of using it like a rich kid playing with his toy. otherwise this decline will continue.
Many users are lost from Twitter due to Twitter's name and logo change. Personally speaking, I find it very bad now.  And now I ignore Twitter. That's exactly how many users are leaving Twitter. This is a wrong decision of Elon Musk on the other hand now anyone can buy a verified badge in exchange of money on Twitter due to which now many fake accounts are also getting verified badge.  Due to this, it is becoming difficult to find a legal company's Twitter page.  This is another fault of Twitter.  I don't know why Elon Musk is doing this.  I personally condemn it

Take McDonalds rebranding for example. Search in google how McDonalds looked 20-40-60 years ago. They have completely change the way their restaurants look, the way employees look (uniform), the way menu look (wrapping and etc). Do you think less people started to visit McDonalds or change their taste? Imho every company needs a rebranding. Standing on one place, while industry is walking forward is wrong. Rebranding was needed. In fact, Elon has changed only the logo. Everything else stayed the same. Users habits remained the same. Every single button is on a same place.
You have a point because there is new management on it, so for sure having to change its name and branding is a possibility because the original owner is not there anymore, and those people who invest to earn big on it have a responsibility to change it on whatever they want too. Also, I don't see people laving Twitter ber like the purpose is the same ,but correc m e if i am wrnng as i am not reall into Ttwiteer as i a into Facacebook but you ar righ right functions are there and stil what Twitttwitter before is still the same riht nowow so i don't really understand why.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: August 17, 2023, 08:25:27 AM
I`m playing for fun now. And i had nice profit from gambling before for several months. And i know several men that have the gambling as the main income. But today for me more interesting to spend some money and get fun, than try to win prize. Of course, it doesn`t mean that i`m trying to lose, but i get positive emotions even if lose. It is just like a ticket on football match.

Exactly. Only participate and bet the money you are willing to lose. Once you've taken your side, already assume that you've lost. You're accepting risk and respecting it. Because once you do, you are no longer chasing winners or olympic feat wins. Regardless of whether you win or you lose, you know that it's just a game. There's another one to play, there would be another opportunity to participate in.
Gambling Is all about winning and losing and we can't choose from this since we don't know what the outcome of the bet we have made will look like. Gambling can be so disturbing when we see ourselves keep losing but when we finally get a solution to the reason why we keep losing and we improved in our skills, we can be surprised that consistent profits would engulf us. We just need to keep doing whatbwe know how to do best since luck can come in anytime without us knowing and planning for it.
Only i decide when i stop the game. If i win - i stop when  i have to go. If i lose - i stop when i lose all money, i planned for gambling.
If you can`t stop when you want - it becomes a problem. In such situation it would be better even don`t start the game.
You are right, Having the desire to gamble doesn't need to listen to advice from other people, of course we can enjoy the game, If in gambling we hear too much advice from other people, if we experience defeat, it will certainly make us very disappointed in our game. I totally agree with you, if you can't stop when you want you better gamble another time.
Why are we listening to others advice on gambling? to increase our winnings? I think if you listen to others, you are just finding someone to blame when you lose. Just imagine you bet big because someone advised you, but it turns out you'll lose, so how do you react? You will surely say to yourself that you should just trust yourself and not others, and those people who have anger issues will for sure get involved in a fight because of that.
528  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Is there a site where you can withdraw without deposit? on: August 17, 2023, 06:47:29 AM
Are there sites where you can actually withdraw coins? I mean gambling sites. It doesn't have to be a lot of money, but I used to have the impression that there were more sites like this and it was much easier to withdraw free money. I know there is freebitcoin that gives you free btc every hour, duckdice is also a faucet - do you know any other sites you can recommend?

I'm not sure if it is faucet sites or crypto casinos that give free coins to you that you are looking for, but if it is faucet sites, there are a lot of them when you search in Google, and you can try them all. If it is crypto casinos, there are also a few of them, but you can't withdraw them because first you'll need to meet the minimum requirements to withdraw them, and this is something that you can add up to your deposited money. Basically, there is no free money in casinos right now.
529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pi network KYC on: August 17, 2023, 04:27:30 AM
Ive also heard this a few years ago, and I would say before that it is worthless, but right now I've seen a lot of my online friends buying it, not sure why, and they just said that they are holding it because it has a good future. There are also a lot of people selling it directly to people because there is still no exchange available on it. Lastly, there are tons of establishments that accept Pi coins as a payment method, which makes me confused about why they even accept it instead of other established cryptos. But right now, the only way to sell it is through direct sales, but I don't know how they send it.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: August 17, 2023, 03:26:15 AM
As for myself i don't have because I will be glad to win as much as possible if the opportunity is presented, but i think the gambling platforms will have that in place but they would have disclose their conditions in their policies or ToS, it is very common that we all have the desire to make win on any amount without limit except if set by the casino, i wouldn't hesitate embracing wining big as such found with winning a jackpot in my gambling experience than setting a limit because everyone needs money if the chance is given to make some or get rich through gambling.
Not just you but almost all gamblers here will want to have no limit on their winnings. Because they are more interested in winning. Many people want to win like jackpot. However, I saw no limit on winnings but a limitation on deposits on various sites before. Where the gambler was given a weekly or monthly limit. But at present there is no such obligation. No gambler wants to be in any bindings. But a gambler must follow a set of rules so that he can conduct responsible gambling.

Who else doesn't want to win the jackpot? Anyone of us really wants to win, and the sky is the limit, but if ever you'll be like, targeting to win, like, let's say you'll target to win today is $500, if ever you'll haven't reached it, you'll still continue to play, and even if you lose, you'll still continue because you have reached your target. That is why it is better to make a target budget and the winning follows. If you win, then it is good, but if you lose your target budget, then step out and relax and do other things because you'll lose more if you continue.
531  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could Bitcoin potentially serve as a safe haven in the upcoming economic crisis on: August 17, 2023, 02:25:29 AM
Hello everyone,

there's a lot of discussion about an impending economic crisis. I'm curious about how Bitcoin will perform during this crisis. Will it function as a safe haven similar to gold? Or will its value decline significantly?

what do you think ?

Well, its history tells itself that bitcoin is somewhat of a safe haven but not totally because we know of its volatility, but when we base our decisions on history, we will know that the price keeps getting high, meaning if you put your money way back in 2016 into bitcoin, then for sure your money hasn't lost its value, even if you gain tons of profit on it. So I would probably say yes, but it is still not recommended because anytime it could be a price dump.
532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe are physical exchanges in your neighborhood. on: August 16, 2023, 04:09:19 PM
They are not safe to use and I won't even go near anyone, I am from a place where people don't like minding their business, they are always after you to know what you are up to, it's why I don't go to casinos too until we start having an online casino, I think it's more safer to use online exchanges because they are more safer and your identity as a user won't be revealed to anyone unless you want to reveal it yourself. No one will know that you normally use exchanges to change Fiat or buy other assets, there is no store that accept crypto as means of payment yet, and it's been few years since the crypto ban has been lifted, I think it's going to take a very longer time before we can start using crypto to buy stuffs in the real world.

But still, it is almost the same because you'll need to do an online KYC on the website, which still lets them know your identity, but again, there are cons to the physical one as a lot of people will see you, which again can attract bad guys. I don't have much experience with it as it is not available in our area, but I would definitely try it because I just want to know the feeling. I mean, it is not the usual way we are exchanging our assets, so it is good to try, but again, privacy and your security will be compromised.
533  Economy / Economics / Re: All millions are from real estate. on: August 16, 2023, 01:33:12 PM
Well, so far, real estate is a very good investment. So many millionaires have used real estate to their advantage, and it really does. Apart from the small risk, the value always increases every year. I think increasing real estate investment before retirement is a very good strategy.
Until now, I am also still trying to combine crypto and real estate. We know that crypto is also a good investment and fast in terms of profit. Those profits can be funneled into real estate, and I think enough people have tried that, and not a few have succeeded.

What's really best about real estate is that there are also rentals on it, meaning you'll be earning passive income monthly or weekly. That is why most of the rich people are investing in it like condominiums because there will be a person that will be renting it as they can't afford to own it. That is really business, though capital is really huge, but again, if you are rich, then it would be easy. Also in the province area, mostly farm lots are the target of those rich people; they are going to develop them and make them a tourist destination, or others will plant crops there or rent them out to the farmers.
534  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to make a life by Day Trading on: August 16, 2023, 10:19:17 AM
Not always based on luck, maybe luck is only a few percent, but the most influential is the psychology of trading.
Novice or professional traders both have constraints on trading psychology, they will be affected by unstable psychology.

Psychological control is not easy, it takes good flight hours and strong self-control.
I myself have also been trapped in a condition where my psychology is in turmoil when all strategies do not go according to plan and losses hit quite a lot.

This usually happens to day traders, but for long-term investors, it will only affect the decision of when to enter and when to exit so that they can profit according to the initial strategy.

I relate to this. I remember before when I'm in a situation that waiting for the price to drop below the resistance and I buy short then suddenly the price goes up and didn't put any stop loss since I'm confident that I'm going to make a lot of money overtime it's really hits me hard. That's why today I usually do some strategies and analysis with my friends so we can talk about what we think we must do. It's really helpful for someone who always hesitate on own decision.

You must not see the bigger picture of the chart. For sure, it broke the resistance, but again, we learn from our mistakes, and if you don't want it to happen to you, then for sure you'll need to put a stop loss on it. Every trader has already had this happen to them in their whole career as a trader, for sure, but what's best about it is that it taught you a lesson. Instead of feeling sorry and regretting it, change your mindset and make it a positive thought because you'll learn a lesson from it.
535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Next Bitcoin Bull Run: Is It Tied to the Next Halving? on: August 16, 2023, 08:52:59 AM
It is really tied to the next halving because Bitcoin is getting rarer to mine at that time, meaning it is more valuable. That is why there is a rally on it. In the past halving, this was really the cycle, which is why a lot of people and holders right now are already accumulating bitcoin for their own good. But again, the market is always mysterious, and we don't know if it will reach its ATH again next halving.
536  Economy / Economics / Re: How to developed your capital on: August 16, 2023, 07:29:00 AM
I took time to research and observed that 75% of youths their problem is inability to develop their capital in capital market, most at times we are bless with so much that one find it difficult to control your finances or resources. I notice it usually affects people do not work hard to earn but probably the gimics or scams that makes them to make this money easily but after a while you discovered the person down why?

Now we should try this simple steps in developing capital either in savings, capital market or investment it's all same principle....
1. Don't spend more than you earn it kills capital through lack of wisdom
2. Development an attitude of reserving "spend and save in quote"
3. Read books on financial market and its products
4. Learn to engaged in investment
5. Be curious about things and ask a lot of questions
6. Don't underrated any money with you, no matter how small it is...its always have value towards something
7. Admire other people success and think where you're going too.
8. Save, invest and take good care of your health.
 
I hope this is helpful?

There's something missing, and that's having fun. All of that stuff you mention, if you aren't happy with what you are doing, it is not fulfilling for you, meaning yes, you have accumulated a profit and have good capital to invest in other businesses, but if you aren't happy and again, don't spend much time with your family, it is still something you don't feel very accomplished with. My goal in life is to have balance, because you are doing this not only for yourself but also for your family.
537  Economy / Economics / Re: Am I a bad person if I manage to avoid taxes? (Hypothetical question) on: August 16, 2023, 05:30:03 AM
I don't how you're going to avoid all of your taxes, but you'll get exposed soon and you won't like what's waiting for you.

Avoiding your taxes isn't the solution to battle inflation, you might save some money but you're still going to spend it on buying the things you need and wants and that's still consider as paying taxes. But to answer the your question, yes, you're a bad person if you're avoiding some of your taxes, whether it's every month or every year.

It's actually not that bad if you can evade it legally, I know it's not something that is frequently talked in the society today because it is our responsibility as a citizen to pay taxes but in line with the topic, you'll be surprised that most billionaires and other rich individuals are even getting away with it without having any problems because as I said, they have done it in a legal way. Well, not evading wholly because they are still paying a big sum annually (food, clothes, wants and other needs that are also taxed beforehand are not included) but not as big if they are not having some techniques to evade some of their taxes legally.
Avoiding taxes will only be a time bomb, as if we are hiding what we have, and what we are fighting against is the state, where the government can do anything to us, including blocking assets. but if we can avoid it legally maybe this will be a different story, considering that taxes also aim to build a country, even though many people are disappointed with the person, but the country's large income comes from taxes, and of course we as good citizens must obey against government regulations

No matter how mad you are at the government, you will still end up having to pay it in the future. I did have a coworker before that got laid off and found an online job, and he didn't update his tax info and didn't pay his taxes. Later on, when he found a job in an office, it required them to have a record in the tax department, and he was shocked as it was very huge, and he had no choice but to pay it off until now because if not, he couldn't start on his work. No matter how you evade it, it will still keep coming back to you, and you'll end up paying it.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 16, 2023, 04:10:02 AM
That is not new anymore to me mate. A lot of gamblers I know are greedy and even selfish that even their bets are carefully kept and never shared because just like what you said, the luck will gone out if it’s been disclosed to a lot of bettors. That’s the reason why most of these gamblers are secretly losing too and only announce their bets if ever they won, but most of the time, losing is inevitable.

I believe gambling is very unpredictable. That’s why I don’t believe any of this superstition. If you lose, it’s possible that you don’t hit the winning bet, not only because that you don’t have the luck that time.

Many are the gamblers will not share the real bet to their friends and selfish for getting the money from gambling.Only few are the legit people with unique all together opinion and share some ideology to their friends.They are like the win together type gambler.Gambler should work like a team and help at the bad situation of others.Some people think,their luck will move to other on sharing some ideas.But it's not the true one,it's like the convective ideology from some old ideology gamblers.Some people with some experience will not share the loss to his less experienced gambler because they see this like a shame to them.

That is if he or she is surrounded by some people whom his friends that are also gambling like him, but if it's the opposite? Where his friends doesn't gamble that much or don't even gamble then sharing it will just be a waste of time because they don't even like gambling or they don't know that you're gambling because they doesn't have to know as well, I mean it's no secret but for me I don't really share my gambling activities. Sharing something like an ideology or techniques is only applicable if you have some friends who does the same thing with you and of course, it's much more enjoyable if you win together and know that bets doesn't have any certainties therefore there will be no blaming afterwards.

You are right; it is like telling a kid that you are gambling and this is your strategy, which they can't understand. Mostly in your friends, it is good to share good things that gambling happened to you, like saying you've won this amount of money and somewhat use it to buy stuff. Just a little info to share to continue the fun that your friends are having, but don't dive into more details on it because either they can't relate or they will be critiquing you because of your activities.
539  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation is making a mess of my savings. on: August 16, 2023, 02:42:13 AM
I am trying to save the value of my money by convert it into goods that I can sell, the money value is decrease but the product value is not. but it is so hard to create successful business, now I am still trying to analyze the market so I can optimize any resources that I have for that business. the risk is influence my life so I need to be extra careful.

The goods that you would be purchasing would have a long expiry date unless it is something like clothes or goods that don't expire. This is a good strategy, but it will take time to sell them, and sometimes they won't. I've been into the clothing business before, but there are really times that I haven't sold items, and when I've closed it down, those items are still here with me even if I post them on social media for sale. You find a good product that most people will buy and make sure it is quality because you can't save the value of your money if you can't sell it.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: August 16, 2023, 01:24:33 AM
Addiction comes when you lose a little amount of money every day and winning a huge amount of money after a couple loss. that's where it starts it's based on our emotion. When we think that we're making a lot of money through gambling we think that we're actually always winning without thinking that we already lost a lot of money upon playing it everyday. in terms of playing recklessly it mostly comes after a you win some and you constantly losing that's where it starts because you wanna feel that excitement again that feeling of winning. So you tend to bet higher in order to get your loses.

That is why you should always not play when you're already high on your emotions because that is when you start thinking the opposite, meaning you aren't able to control yourself as you've just thought that you will keep winning or you've just wanted to chase more winnings because of your losses. No matter if you lose on a daily basis, if ever you've already won big time, or let's say winning 10 times in a row, that is where your emotions kick in, and that is the most dangerous part as you don't know how to stop betting that time and wanting more.
