Everything @OP mentioned is correct. But it is a mistake if someone uses gambling as a lifestyle. He will need more to be able to follow gambling as a lifestyle. When someone becomes a gambling addict, they will not be able to see other things that might be useful for their life.

They will fall deeper into gambling without being able to see if there is a way out or they will stay in gambling even longer. That's because gambling requires good self-control so that they don't fall into gambling. If they feel that gambling does not provide benefits, they should leave gambling.

There are still many other interesting things that they can use to get pleasure. Nowadays, amidst technological advances, the younger generation should be more creative in creating things that can benefit them. They don't need to gamble because they can waste their time being unproductive and no longer creative. And there are many more negative impacts of gambling addiction so the younger generation should be able to stay away from it.
522  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Proverbs and Sayings that Act as Triggers to Gambling on: February 02, 2024, 02:13:55 AM
This Chinese proverb makes ordinary people continue to gamble. They will never know the outcome if they do not gamble. It may have an impact on other things. But it will also depend on how a person will use gambling.

If they don't really like gambling and don't gamble too often, they won't test their luck and become addicted. However, many people experience addiction because they gamble too often compared to other people. This is what they have to realize: that they don't need to gamble excessively.

And it's normal that people keep returning to gambling because they still hope to win. I don't know if any proverbs or other sayings will trigger them to gamble. But maybe there is one invitation for them: "Come on, this is just one-time gambling. That's okay for you." And that makes them return to gambling more and more often.
523  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: At a range of 2years, can a Bitcoin literate invest with a borrowed fund in BTC? on: February 01, 2024, 11:09:32 AM
If your friend has a fixed income, he can borrow money to invest in Bitcoin. But if he doesn't have an income, it's best not to borrow money. This is about how he was able to pay back the loan money. Moreover, he wants to borrow the money for 2 years.

But if his relatives want to delay returning the money for two years, maybe he can borrow the money. But it's still risky because we don't know what will happen in the next 2 years. He can make a profit from Bitcoin, but he also may not yet make a profit from Bitcoin.

It all depends on his consideration for borrowing money from his relatives. If there is an agreement to pay the loan 2 years later, he may take out the loan. But if he has to pay it back every month, it is even risky for him because he has no income.
524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My first Bitcoin on: February 01, 2024, 07:29:44 AM
Congratulations on your Bitcoin purchase. You can continue with the second buyer until you have a lot of Bitcoins. You can use the DCA method to buy Bitcoin regularly every month.

You can store your Bitcoin on a trusted exchange, where you buy Bitcoin temporarily. But it would be better to store it in your own wallet to control it directly. You can use a hardware wallet like Trezor or others.

The important thing is that you can continue your investment regularly using the money you can afford. And determine the period for how long you invest. Don't panic about changes in Bitcoin prices because Bitcoin prices always change.
525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Viewpoint of a fan gambling on: February 01, 2024, 04:20:00 AM
I will see the reality between the two teams. If my favourite team cannot win against the opposing team, I will choose the opposing team as a bet. But sometimes, I don't place a bet if I don't really want to bet. I'll choose number two. I can wager against my dearest star player, club and team.

It will be up to each person to place a bet. They can place their bet if they are okay with betting against their favourite team or player. Otherwise, they won't do it and just watch the game.

And there is no pressure to choose which one we prefer. That will depend on the results of the analysis we make. Before you choose your favourite team or the opposing team, you have to analyze it. That way, you will know how likely your favourite team is to win and then you can make a choice.
526  Other / Off-topic / Re: Having a regular/steady income is important as a gambler. on: February 01, 2024, 02:37:31 AM
I always try to gamble and gamble on Fridays. But new situation I have faced gambling loss but now currently face loss but little profit remains. But I didn't win enough to change my luck, because I invested a small amount of money in gambling so that I could participate in gambling for a long time little by little. I know that whenever I invest big money in gambling, I will be more likely to lose, because I am currently not very experienced in gambling. But I have the desire I certainly have the possibility of being established from gambling.
If you feel that investing a lot of money will cause you to lose, you should not use a lot of money to gamble. After all, you are not chasing victory and just want to enjoy gambling. So you only need to use a little money to gamble in your spare time.

If you use a lot of money, it can cause you to lose. We will feel that we still have money so we will continue gambling. Meanwhile, we don't realize that we have lost a lot. That will trigger our emotions to play gambling longer.

But you shouldn't gamble too often if you don't have an income. This could cause your finances to be impacted and could cost you the money you have. You should focus on your work to make money rather than gambling. One day, you will be lucky and win the gambling game.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: February 01, 2024, 12:42:22 AM
Every gambler has the chance to be emotional when they are playing gambling. Yes, however to be emotional doesn't help anything, it even risks us. So, people who think realistically in gambling, they will stay playing with a calm. Be calm is a better choice, it may help to be more focused in playing. How we can be focused if we are emotional? Emotional can ruin many things, it lower the focus and destroy the fun in gambling. In addition, it is true that some gambling games rely on the luck, so emotion won't increase the chance to win. The best way is to enjoy playing gambling with fun, sometimes the fun makes a good result. Although we fail to win the prizes, we can get entertainment at least.  Smiley
That is why it is very important to have self-control. However, if we can control ourselves, we can also control our emotions when gambling and will not be provoked. I also feel the same way when emotions rise, and that is a normal thing everyone experiences.

We should really know how to control these emotions so we can enjoy fun gambling games. It's okay if we lose when gambling because there is still tomorrow. Maybe we can win another day and let's just say that losing today is normal.

We also don't need to use a lot of money to gamble and we should always limit our gambling activities. By limiting our money and being able to control ourselves well, we can enjoy gambling as entertainment. That's what we look for when playing gambling.

Also, timing the bitcoin market earlier will give you an edge over the market as the higher chance of profitable investment will be there instead of investing late.
 
It is difficult to time the market and that is a waste of time, especially a new investor that is a low coiner, because nobody can predict the price movement of bitcoin. It is better to get started the moment you have the money to invest and keep on growing your invest by buying regular either weekly or monthly, and all necessary funds are in place that will not make you think of selling your bitcoin.
Actually there's nothing wrong at buying whenever you have the money available but I think what he/she meant by timing the market is just by buying at each dip that occurs, take for instance a week+ ago bitcoin price moved up to $47,000+ and after a while dropped to $39,000 then later took a leap to around $43/42,000+ right now (as at the time am writing this). For a investor that is timing the market he/she will know that $39k is a right time to buy because the price will surely move up again for him to make profit and for sure it did moved from $39k to $43k, so isn't it a right timer for any investor? We know the market is unpredictable but there are moves that we will critically observe and we won't need a fortuneteller to tell us what could happen next, only experience will tell.
Buying whenever you have money is one way to take advantage of owning Bitcoin. And no one knows when the right time to buy is. We can only be sure to buy when the Bitcoin price is at a low price. And whatever the low price is, it will depend on our analysis.

But we already have a DCA strategy for buying Bitcoin that does not depend on the Bitcoin price. We have to follow the time to buy, for example, once a week, once every two weeks, or once a month to buy Bitcoin. We just follow the plan while allocating a certain amount of money to invest in Bitcoin.

And even though the market is unpredictable, we can still use DCA to buy Bitcoin regularly. That will help us to have lots of Bitcoins. That is enough for new investors to start investing in Bitcoin. Their job is just to increase the number of Bitcoins, and they do not need to monitor the price too often.
529  Economy / Economics / Re: Another war in the Middle East could be dire for the economy on: January 31, 2024, 10:35:52 AM
For those who own Bitcoin, they can convert their Bitcoin to fiat. Then they can move on and buy the things they need. These people will be financially fine because they can survive and even still buy things or meet their living needs.

Bitcoin could become a currency for all countries but that still seems far away. There are still many countries that are not ready to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin is still an investment so people can sell their Bitcoin to survive.

People can still make money from trading Bitcoin for profits. From the profits, people can get more fiat. From there, they can continue their lives and will not be too affected by inflation in their country.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there Casinos that offer Birthday Bonuses to their users? on: January 31, 2024, 08:55:05 AM
If he is an employee of a business place, in this case, a customer officer, it is normal for his workplace to surprise him on his birthday. I've seen this in many places of business but never in a casino. Some casinos may care about their employees and treat them well. It is a form of appreciation for its employees from the casino.

But if it is an online casino, we don't know because they don't tell us anything. Maybe if it were the casino's birthday, they would give their members many bonuses. And maybe it will be around for a few days afterward to interest more people.

But it also depends on the policies of each casino. Some casinos don't give anything to their employees and some give birthday wishes. And some casinos give bonuses or greetings to their members who celebrate birthdays. This all depends on each casino and will vary for each casino.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: January 31, 2024, 06:21:34 AM
If people scream about how gambling is destroying them, it is their own fault. They should introspect themselves on how they use gambling. Gambling will not ruin their lives if they can use gambling as intended.

They forget that gambling is just entertainment and there is no need to gamble too often or too seriously. This prevents more losses so they do not experience losing their money. If they can have self-control and strict discipline, they will not experience many losses. They can also use gambling as a means to have fun.

If they can use gambling well, they can get pleasure from gambling, especially if they can gamble moderately and not use gambling as a way to make money.
532  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price: $35K or $45K next? on: January 31, 2024, 04:04:23 AM
Right now nobody knows if bitcoin will increase to 100,000 or to 25,000 because the price of Bitcoin right now is very surprising it differs from the higher concentration to lower concentration in which right now is unpredictable nobody knows if they falling point will continue to fall why what is doing now is retracing in order to achieve another height so the price of Bitcoin I don't think that it will reach to the appropriate prediction of people of 2024 but the market with determine if the price will soon return to it base
That's right. We can only predict where the Bitcoin price will move. Now, Bitcoin price is still at the $42k level and has not shown any signs of upward movement. But we can still hope that this month, there will be a minimum increase to the price of $45k.

But if there is no significant movement and the price of Bitcoin remains in the $40k-$43k range, that's okay too. We are still allowed to buy in the dip and keep it. Or we can also trade in that price range because some of my friends can make a profit now.

It will be increasingly difficult to predict Bitcoin's movements because Bitcoin is becoming increasingly popular. And many big companies are getting into cryptocurrency to take advantage of it. We are now at the end of January, and the price is still around $42k. In the next month, there will be an upward movement that can break the price of $45k. Let's just wait.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: January 31, 2024, 01:03:23 AM
People often think in the short term when deciding to gamble to increase the amount of money. They think that by gambling, they can win a lot of money. They don't realize it will only make them lose all their money.

The story above is an example of not using gambling to make money. It won't always go the way we want. We'd better look for a job that can make money. Or we can sell personal items to meet emergency needs. If you want to gamble, you should allocate a certain amount of money and not aim to make money.

We can lose all the money by gambling and not be able to make money. That will just mean we can't do anything with the money. And in the end, we will regret having lost all the money.
534  Economy / Economics / Re: Why we should prioritize investment over saving on: January 30, 2024, 04:08:05 PM
If we already know Bitcoin, we will use the money to invest besides saving. That's because we have seen the profits from Bitcoin so far. And that's what makes us want to invest more of our money in Bitcoin.

But people out there still choose to save their money in the bank. They don't understand the benefits of Bitcoin, so many people still choose to save rather than invest their money in Bitcoin. It is better to invest our money in things that can provide profits in the future, and Bitcoin is a good example for us.

But if you can do both, save and invest the money, you can use both. You can use the money in savings for urgent matters. Meanwhile, you still have investments in Bitcoin, land, gold or others to prepare for your future. So you get two benefits at once from saving and investing.
535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is nothing like it since the past 12 years on: January 30, 2024, 01:03:44 PM
As long as there is belief and effort, it will give results. Even though we often think that the results are not visible even though we have been there for years. Many of us stop because they feel they have been trying for years but there has been no change in their lives. But some still persist because they believe that change will come someday.

And they are only one step away from seeing the results. These are the ones who will continue to strive to be able to produce even more. They dare to take the risk of waiting for the change. These are the ones who can get more results than they can imagine.

Bitcoin has helped many people even though they still need to follow the Bitcoin journey from the start. If they are willing to try, there will be a way. And that's what they must realize and not give up even though they have been doing it for several years. We won't always be like this, and we still believe that our lives can change, and it will happen if we try.
536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: January 30, 2024, 10:31:18 AM
I prefer number one because he is part of the family. It is not appropriate for us to be rude to them even though they are addicted to gambling. We can talk to them and not leave out that side of the family. Say that we care about those who are addicted to gambling and want to help them get out of their gambling addiction.

It does take time but it's worth keeping trying. If you are rude to them, it may become an argument that never ends. There is a possibility that the gambling addict will run away from home and look for another place to live. He will feel that no one cares about him so he feels he should leave his house.

There is nothing wrong with being gentle and showing love to them. They are part of our family and we must help them by making them aware of the impact of gambling on them. We can show them evidence that their lives are a mess so they can realize it. By being willing to realize their mistakes, maybe there will be other things that make them want to undergo treatment for their gambling addiction.
537  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: January 30, 2024, 08:24:27 AM
If we lose it, we will not suffer.  So it's better to bet.  If you gamble with a small amount of money, you won't regret it even if you lose.  It is better to play with a fixed amount.  Which you won't regret if you lose.  And you can't get addicted to gambling.  It is a very bad addiction.  You can play bit by bit for fun.  But it cannot be played regularly.  You can play it for some time.  But if you always play it, you will become addicted to it.  Which you can never leave.  So you have to keep in mind that I have an amount to play with.  Can't play more than that.  And a time and fix it can't be played all the time.
Yes, it is better to gamble with a little money than with a lot of money. This can prevent us from disappointment due to experiencing many defeats. Besides that, we can also avoid the possibility of continuing to gamble. And with that little money, we can also avoid gambling addiction.

But we also have to learn to restrain our emotions from experiencing defeat. We cannot recover from our losses because our losses will continue to increase. And when we try to recover from that loss, we can become addicted to continuing to gamble without stopping.

Meanwhile, when we are addicted to gambling, we will not realize it and even if we realize it, it may be difficult for us to cure it. For this reason, we must be able to gamble responsibly to avoid losing a lot. We don't need to gamble for too long because we risk losing a lot.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the definition of a Gambler? Do you consider yourself as a Gambler? on: January 30, 2024, 07:12:51 AM
Exactly! As we all know that there's nothing wrong if someone will call you a gambler because that's what supposed to call a person who play with the extent of money. Some people may be embarrassed when others call them gamblers, or maybe they just don't want people who know them to look at them badly because we know that when others hear the word gambling, the first thing that comes to their mind are doing bad habits and its influence on a person.
Yes, it's like that and that's because they already know that gambling can have bad impacts. They don't want to be called that name so they feel it's better to hide it from others. Yes, that is okay and perhaps it is better for those who hide their gambling activities from others.

Instead of having various questions from people, they choose to hide their gambling activities. Moreover, hiding their gambling activities can make them gamble comfortably.

Apart from money, other valuables like house, car, wife etc can be used to gamble. It is these valuables, money included, that make gambling risky. If money or valuables is removed from gambling activities then the risk is removed and it will no longer be gambling. So, a gambler is a risk taker. He foresees dangers and gets into it.
It is something that gamblers often use. They don't care about fund allocation and other things because they want to gamble. They want to have money every time they want to gamble. And that's what makes them start selling their goods to make money.

This can leave them without money because the goods they sell are used for gambling. They also don't know when they can win from gambling. But that doesn't stop them from continuing to gamble.
539  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: January 30, 2024, 05:04:28 AM
Cryptocurrency casinos saw an opportunity and made the best out of it, before the pandemic started they were already popular, but when the pandemic appeared that is when casinos saw their business growing like crazy.

As at the time everything, including our entertainment, was forcefully stopped and people had no option but to remain at home, and with everything that was going on people needed a way to take their minds off everything they were going through, and gambling with cryptocurrencies was there to allow those people a few hours of entertainment in such a difficult situation.
This opportunity is being used to the maximum by crypto casinos, which are also helping to popularize crypto among gamblers. They can see that they can gamble using crypto so they don't need to gamble using fiat. They can gamble anonymously at crypto casinos even though KYC is now required.

And when the pandemic emerged, those were the best times for crypto casinos because, with the promotions they had carried out, crypto casinos gained additional new members. The pandemic conditions that forced fiat gamblers not to be able to visit physical casinos due to government closures due to restrictions made crypto casinos gain popularity. This continues to this day and makes more gamblers use crypto casinos.

And we still see promotions used by crypto casinos on many sites. Crypto casinos that have been operating for a long time also get the opportunity to get more members.
540  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: January 29, 2024, 11:48:16 AM
Same as any other casinos or business out there, they do advertising but they're all using different kinds of advertising as there are some that employ a conventional one like commercials and ad placements on TV shows and radio stations, some are even utilizing social media, some are even building a marketing team that will create the branding, the pamphlets and other marketing implements. There's also the Internet that hosts millions of advertisements from millions of companies all over the world and with almost everyone interconnected by the World Wide Web, this is probably the most efficient way to advertise your product, business or services. Signature campaign is a unique one though as it's not going outside the forum so it's limited in audience but it still somehow works.
The opportunity for online casinos to advertise on multiple sites allows online casinos to grow more rapidly. This condition is aided by conditions where the pandemic means many physical activities cannot be carried out. Online casinos saw that opportunity, so they focused their marketing on the Internet.

For casinos that advertise their casinos on TV, it may only be possible to broadcast them at some times, considering that children will see the advertisements. However, physical casinos can still thrive after the pandemic is over. Until now, physical casinos still exist and operate so they can continue to provide entertainment for people.

Each online and offline casino already knows how to promote its casino. They have also prepared a budget for marketing. The campaign on this forum also succeeded in providing benefits for each casino so this is still ongoing.
