541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: November 22, 2023, 09:50:15 PM
I’m a new member here, and I want to gamble on online casinos. I found some good trusted casinos. And I want to begin with a game with a low budget. First, I need your suggestions about the best games, slots. Live casino for a beginner.
Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.

I think this entirely depends on your style of play and preference.

If you are looking for a quick and easy game with no complications at all, then you may consider playing slots. This game was invented for the simplest reason- to quickly gamble and test your luck. Be aware, however, that slots have a significantly low chance of you winning compared to other gambling games that are available.

If you have time, then you may also consider card games such as poker, blackjack, etc. These games have a skill ceiling in which you can apply various techniques in order to gain an advantage over your opponents. The only downside to this game is that some games take relatively longer to finish.

If you plan on looking for the middle ground between two (2) aforementioned games, then I suggest playing baccarat. It is a fun game on its own and the rules are also simple for you to understand.
Different type of games would really be that requiring that different kind of engagement on which it is really just that something will really depending into your preference yet we do have game types
which are basically heavily relying with luck and there are ones on which you could really be able to apply some strategy on which it is really that something will vary on someones interest
or liking on what games they would really be playing. Some might be focusing into luck ones and some would be sticking into something which they do know that they could really be having some advantage.

Beginners advice?
1. Dont make yourself greedy
2. Play just for fun
3. Dont YOLO type of bets
4. You should really know on when to call it a day
5. Dont get impulsive and chasing up losses
6. Good bankroll management

Follow these then you wont really be finding yourself getting devastated with gambling.

Quote from: oktana
I try as much as possible to not borrow money from anyone at all for any reason, let alone for investment purpose. The questions will arise in your mind; “what if this business doesn’t scale up?” What will you do in such case because trust me, the owner of the money (the bank or anyone at all) will not want to hear your excuse and you’ll be under presssure to pay them back even when it wasn’t successful for you. So, it’s better to invest with your own funds.
Nobody will encourage you to borrow money to start a business in this platform because, it will never help you to grow as normal business men that generated capital to start their own business in their various environment.  I never talk about borrowing money to start a business in this topic, I said why is it too difficult for people to get capital to start a good business, that was my question and, many potential men and women had hit the point I want , and I have started working on it to generate a good capital to start a new business soon.

 With time this my Bitcointal.org account will surely help me to get a good fund that will make my dreams to come to reality soon and, I will be counted among the company owners in my environment.

It is pleasing to know that you had no plan nor intention to invest with borrowed money. But at least I know for a fact that someone mentioned borrowed money. Anyways, it doesn’t have to be just here in crypto, what I said applies to any field or aspect of investment/business and shouldn’t be overlooked. I sincerely wish you the best on your journey here on Bitcointalk, but you should know and keep in mind that dedication is important.
Getting yourself debt-free would be always recommendable but we didnt know even even rich people or multi-millionaires or billionaires taking up some loan. Why? Yes, it is really that mind
boggling but if you do know on whats Credit score building works then you would really be able to understand on why they are doing such thing. Having debts doesnt mean that its bad specially into those who do have
tons of money. Credit score would really be outmost important when years passing by on which you could really be able to take advantage on making such advantage specially when you are planning
to have some loans in the future. You wont really be finding yourself on tough situation specially on getting approved.

We do just accept that there are really people on this world on which they do really have that kind of advantage since they do have funds, comparing into those people
who are just living on the middle class or poor class. Challenges in life in terms of finances isnt something new. We do need to act for us to survive as always.
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you in profit? on: November 22, 2023, 07:59:23 PM
I have noticed some individuals claiming to be successful in gambling.
but, my personal experience with online gambling platform over the past 8 months has been consistently unprofitable
I haven't broken even or made any gains. I'm curious if anyone in our community has actually achieved profitability through gambling. If yes, we can calculate that how much percentage of us are profitable.
I know most of the people pay to win and deposit to recover previous losses.

write in this format:
Code:
Context:
[color=green]YES[/color] [color=red]NO[/color]
I can’t really calculate the amount I have spent on gambling, I just gamble with any amount I have at that particular time that I know won’t affect me even if I lose, so I don’t calculate the amount I gamble with, but I know I do lose more than the way I win, I just win in gambling once in a while, and the funniest part is that since I do gamble less, the amount I always win is always kind of small, but I am sure I have not even won half of the amount I have spent on gambling. But there is a feeling I always have whenever I am bored and gambling, so I don’t feel bad even after losing because I know the amount is just a small amount of money.
After all the years that we've been dealing with gambling then it is really hard to make out some track on how much we had been able to spend out and since we are really just that playing for fun then
exact numbers couldn't be known unless if you are an individual who do really make some tally or listing on how much you had deposited then you could be able to know on how much you had already deposited
and on how much amount you have withdrawn. We do know that not all people would really be that something like this on which being mindful about the things that they've been spending but we know that
there's still people who could really be able list out despite of  those situations.
544  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading on your own vs social trading and copy trading on: November 22, 2023, 01:39:23 PM
Copy trading can be very profitable for us especially if we are copy trading from experience and big traders that had been in the market. Cryptocurrency trading is very important and can give us a big profits if we know how to go about it. Because if copy trading, ma y people had leave there trading skills and go for some cheap and easy. We don't need to rent on just copy trading, it is good when we try and upgrade ourselves so that as we are copy trading we should be improving our skills so that we are not going to be ignorance of what is happening in the market and how to better a better trader.
Not all traders are successful, and successful ones also suffer losses, but if they follow risk management and manage the deposit competently, then for them this can become an ordinary loss, and for an inexperienced trader it can be a loss of the entire deposit.

If everything with copy trading was so simple, then everyone could do it and make a profit, but for some reason this does not happen. I am not very familiar with copy trading, but I suspect that a successful trader will not always want to share his trades for free, perhaps for some time, and then you will have to pay. And what is the use of this for a novice trader if he does not gain any experience from it, simply repeating transactions will not give any progress in development.
Market is something a tug-of-war in between buyers and sellers on which there would really be winners and losers in the other side of the market. This is why as a trader then you would really be doing your very best on trying out to sustain or survive this market or else you would really be ending up on losing that much money. Trading on your own? This is always been that recommended because trying out to copy or trying out to get or follow those signals wont really be making yourself that way more better as a trader. Yes, you could still possibly be able to make winning trades but on the time that those people or trader that you are following into
would be gone, then what would you gonna do?

This is why as early as you could, learning up trading on your own would be the best option or path to take. It might take long but its something that would really be beneficial for long term.
You cant really be able to make yourself something good or better if you wont really be taking on your own.
545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Client Seed on: November 22, 2023, 11:43:39 AM
Client seed
CHANGING IT as frequently as possible, does this in any way increase a gambler's chances of winning?
I will say NO. Changing the client see should only act as a reassurance that the games are totally random and provably fair, but should not effect the outcomes of the games played. If it does affect the outcome that game that casino should be avoided.

Is this to say that, changing client seed as often as possible, (most especially when a gambler keeps losing for too long) has the potential of turning what seemed to be a long losing streak, into winning? Or is it all still based on the gambler's luck..?
I think it is all down to the gambler's perception; they expect an act to work in their favor and amplify the times that it does work that way, ignoring the time it does not, to justify their perception.

- Jay -
I would be saying up on the same thing on which it is really indeed true  that if those seeds does have corresponding some lucky-neutral-unlucky type then people would really be most of the time will really be changing up their seeds on just few rolls. Why? they would really be trying out to seek with those lucky Seeds on which they do believe that it do exist. This is why i dont really believe that it does exist on such manner.
There are no things that could justify that these things are really indeed possible or do really happens. Just like been saying that it would really be just that depending on someones perception and views and emotions at the same time on why people do really end up these kind of assumptions that it is really that something relevant if you do try to change up those seeds.

There were no proofs or solid evidences that seeds do really determine or one of the factors that making someone to be lucky. I would rather believe that these things does
rather ensure that every roll is fair and not something rigged.
546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I want to fulfill my mother's dream of building a house with Bitcoin. on: November 21, 2023, 08:52:16 PM
This is an expression of faith in Bitcoin, not love of Bitcoin.  Because the dream of building a house by investing there with faith in Bitcoin and making a big profit from that investment shows the fact that op has faith in Bitcoin.  I admire his initiative and wish him all the best and I think he will be able to fulfill his mother's dream by investing in Bitcoin for the long term.  And if he has good trading skills then trading can also help him a lot in realizing his dream
   A lot of people  have put their faith in Bitcoin they believe it will be a life changing opportunity for most people. Bitcoin was invented in 2008 and since then, have seen many ups and downs. With the passage of time, it is evolving and has gained popularity day-by-day. Coronavirus has impacted socio-economic situation all over the world. Now, crash of stock markets, inflation of fiat currencies, joblessness of millions employees have changed the paradigm. Work from home has changed the perceptive of physical batter of currencies. So, people are shifting towards digital currencies and particularly bitcoin which is most popular so far.
   The positive outcome Bitcoin will be bringing in the next bull run we will be seeing a new set of millionaires.  So a lot of people have place their faith in Bitcoin hoping it will get to the new ath as expected. I don’t see any impossibility of the OP getting is mom a house. It’s is bound to happen if he invested well. 
Putting faith isnt bad but it would be always recommended that you shouldnt really be expecting 100%. Why? there's no such thing about sure win or profit on this world of investment. There would be no assurance so it is really just that right that you shouldnt be giving out that full faith and trust towards Bitcoin investment on the sense that you are already relying your future plans. What if it would be showing up on that different result or outcome? Instead on seeing huge amount or value, we might be seeing different? For sure it would really be bringing out that huge frustration and fail into our life.

Always set back up plans and dont go all in with Bitcoin or you should really be just that investing on the money that you can afford to lose. If you are really that having that kind of
trust then its up to your choice but be sure that you wont really be putting up yourself on tough situation if things turns out not to happen.
Future is something that cant be known and this is why it would really be just that right that you should set back up plans.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would You Crowdfund for a Gambler Who Has Gambled Irresponsibly? on: November 21, 2023, 08:12:47 PM
A few days ago, I posed a question in this forum, wondering if, as someone who engages in gambling, you've ever considered thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run. I carefully went through all the responses, maintaining keen interest and taking note of each perspective. Another aspect of the inquiry involves whether you would be willing to participate in crowdfunding for a fellow gambler who reaches out to the public through social media seeking financial support after they gambled with the funds meant for an important project like, investment, school fees, rent, marriage or any other thing. And what would you say to those who go ahead to donate to these gamblers out of a sense of empathy?
Definitely not. As a gambler, we should know how to play the game responsibly and set limits in betting so we won't be gambling those amount that are not intended to bet in gambling. So if you're gambling irresponsibly, facing the consequences of your action will help you learn your lesson. And I won't support any crowdfunding for such irresponsible gamblers because if I do that, it's like I'm tolerating his wrong doing and allow him to repeat the same mistake again.

Letting him experience the consequences of his actions is the best thing to do. That way, aside that he will learn his lesson, he will start to control his gambling habit from then on and become a responsible gambler. Otherwise, helping him will make him only feel that it's okay to gamble irresponsibly because there are still friends who will make up for him.
We should really be that responsible if we do speak about dealing with gambling since we know that this isnt a money making thing then you should really be playing in moderation but if you are really just that playing for fun then there's no issue. It all matters with someones control and handling towards himself because if you do find out yourself not to be that much effective due to some reasons then its your mistake
on why you do end up miserable or messed up with gambling. Gambling could fucked up our finances and if you arent that careful then it wont be shocking that you would really be ending up on a disastrous condition.
There are really just those people who have those kind of unrealistic goals and this is why they do end up on miserably.

Giving some support? No i wont do such thing. You would be supporting them financially then it would really be just on the same story on which they would really be
spending those funds again and again. They wont learn up a lesson until they would be able to experience those unfortunate events on which i do say
that it is really just that right for them to experience so that they would be able to realize on whats wrong.

#HODLing is not a smooth journey, do you agree? Grin
Totally agree, it is mostly easier said than done for most investors. I personally can recall the different juicy opportunities I have missed to really make it big in this space as a result of a lack of patience to HODL. Especially those early days in crypto when you barely understand the market and easily get freaked out with every FUD and market dip.
Experience is the best teacher they say and I believe the majority of us are more experienced and mature over the years of being in crypto.

What is your view on #Hodling Guys?

source


If there is any digital currency that is stubborn and rigid, I will say it's bitcoin because I could remember vividly just last year or 1 year ago and some days when bitcoin when to below $16k, everyone were sad and panicking that bitcoin is going to repeat 2020 blood bath and it will go to $5k but look at it now, it's been stubborn to go below $35k since last month because some fundamental news are pushing it to break $40k and when that is successfully broken, next target is going to be $50k.

What are the lesson to learn from holding bitcoin? You need to be extremely patient about it, the journey is bumpy and at the same time painful but there is joy you get in the end and that's the profit you make at the end of the day when you decide to sell. It can be draining and challenging especially when the market is red everywhere but you see the green candles that were printed in October and November were worth the effort.

The amount invested is actually going to depict what you are going to make at the end of the day. Don't invest $100 and expect to get $20k in the next 5 years. That's like 5X and if bitcoin should do that from the current price, we will be discussing bitcoin to be at $100k plus which is possible and likely not possible. It's better you consider amount to invest.
Whenever that extreme bearish situation then making out further step or buying decision would really be the toughest thing that you would be able to consider on this kind of time.  Cheesy

You would really be coming into a point that you would really be boggling whether you should be buying or having some entry point or you should wait further? These are the main
questions that you do have in mind considering that the market is really that truly unpredcitable and there's no way that we could be able to know on where it would be going or heading.
As a human being then it would be normal that you would really be that impulsive when it comes to market situations or conditions.

We would really be liking to have a smooth sail ride but on the time that you are really that able to experience the harshness of this market
then you would definitely be able to realize on what are the things that you must do.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever Thought of Giving Back to the Community? on: November 21, 2023, 12:49:59 PM
Have you ever thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run? One of those punters on X, who usually wins large sums of money from betting, is giving out about 25 laptops to folks who cannot afford them, and he recently paid for someone's cybersecurity online course. Do you think this is something that you can do—give back to the community from your gambling runs?
If you want to have good karma or luck favor your side again it is better or recommended to give back to the community, especially to the most needy one but of course, you should also allocate for your relatives and your family, family and relatives come first before helping other people.
Maybe in the future one of the poor people you helped will have a better life they will come back to you and help you in case you're the one who needs help in the future.
Not only that people you've helped will pray and bless you that you win another jackpot because you have good intentions when you are playing.
For those who believe on that will do it on purpose but I think it's better to just give sincerely, without expecting for anything in return. I want to go back to karma again, I think there is no proof that it actually exists. Even with the luck. But what is the real one that is true is the actions that we are doing. That can contribute to what results we are going to get.

It is still better to help the people who are badly in-need of something, especially if we have an extra money like after we win huge amounts though playing a gambling. That is better than if the winnings will only be taken by the casinos again. At least, we won't regret and then we also feel happy.

Exactly! it's feels good to help and give without expecting in return and I do believe in karma because it acts as a boomerang of our deed. Also, once you win a huge amount in gambling, we tend to give or treat some of our closes friends and most specially our family, it is a traditional way to share our victory and if you're kind enough, you can share it to our community as well. I know that in the future, once you're the one who is in need, possibilities that people will help you the way you help them.
Not really that necessary for you to give out something in the community because having that good deed or charitable acts would really be just that depending on someone because not all people would really be that generous. They dont care about good or bad karma on which they would really be focusing on the money that they do have. They dont care on others situation or whatever things that they do see around.
Giving back is something that really give that good feeling specially that you do help someone in need. Im also a poor guy or something that struggle on living but if i do ever make some huge winning
then i might be considering on making the same step but of course it would vary on a certain person just like i have said.

Giving laptops for the sake of community giving thats a great or big help to those who are really that in need. You would'nt really be forgotten on the things that you have done.
This is something that money cant be able to buy and this is where other people do really love to do so. Helping out the community doesnt matter whether
they do win big or not as long they could be abel to do such act.
550  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading can ruin you on: November 21, 2023, 03:42:14 AM
Trading is most times profitable and sometimes challenging to traders, but it can ruin you just as gambling if you don't know how before venturing into it,  I have had a handful of terrible experience while trading and I discovered that it can return you to square one in terms of your finances if precautions is not taken.

Though am a better trader now, but I still thred with caution,  the best way for newbie to navigate their way in the market is to buy and hold, then sell when the price goes up.
When it comes to future market, newbie should stay off because it's for experience traders, even if you run a poll of people to tell of their experience in trading in this forum, %80 of people will rule out trading as a no go area based on their terrible experience while trading.

So newbie, stay of trading futures if you know nothing about technical analysis or fundamental analysis for not to be ruined.
Thanks for a best thought for sharing in this platform because a lot of people thinking that trading is giving only profit while trading can ruin you by not following trading rules as well as we should know how to start the trading and when we will take entry and when we should exit so it important thinks for trader is rules of trading



Most people who experience failure in trading do not have good knowledge of the trading they do and they do it not with the skills and knowledge they have and they do it based on how they feel when they see people who have been successful in trading. There's nothing wrong with using a demo account to try with the knowledge we already have, but trading with the capital we have will certainly not be the same as using a demo account. It's important for those of us who want to trade to have good knowledge in the field of trading we do.
Only knowledge is not required for trading also we require a good budget for trading it means we should have an extra money for trading when we have a loss in trading so that we should save ourselves from losing the plan budget  and we can make other trades in the remaining budget  it better we should invest in many stages so our money will be safe and trade can never ruin us.
Experience would be the best teacher and this is something that we should put up in our mind. Everything could really be learnt up solo if you are really just that mindful about on your actions on learning trading.
Of course it could possibly ruin you in terms of financial if you arent that careful when it comes to decision making. You should really be that wise when it comes to this matter because if you dont then
it would really be bringing out that kind of damage into your finances if you arent that careful. Its not something impossible to make money but it would really be challenging considering that you are really that
needing to go with the flow on what the market is moving on.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer wins seem too good on: November 20, 2023, 09:37:06 PM
~~

This is something I've tried to highlight to my friends that want to get  into gambling, but overall not many people seem to be aware.
What has your experience been? Has this affected you or your friends?

We've discussed several times what you said, yep, like the contents of your thread. I'm quite sure, most of our society is very aware of what streamers do wherever the platform on which they create their gambling content is done. I don't see if there is any problem going on, or any conspiracy for that matter. I think it's fine what they do. After all, as long as they are paid, and they are happy to do it, especially if they don't break the law, that is their right.

Now the problem is with us who watch it. especially for those who like watching gambling streamers. if you think the way you think in your thread, theoretically other people almost think the same way. especially, for those of us who are very familiar with gambling. maybe yes, for beginners or amateur gamblers. they will be amazed, by what they have just witnessed.
Just imagine, quite a few streamers bet with fantastic value, regardless of whether it is true or not. the point is, now on ourselves.

For me, all of that doesn't matter and just consider it entertaining entertainment. especially, when they carry out hysterical acts. Funny enough isn't it, can't we just see it from the other side instead of focusing on what they won. Yep, it's that simple for me.
For you it is really just that something to be normal or something really just that fine or simply doesnt really care but we know that there are people who do easily get envious on the time that they would be seeing someone who do able to make up some big win on the time that they do gamble on which it would really be creating out that kind of idea that you might really be that able to get or experience on the same thing when you do tend to play. Its true that when seeing someone then it would really be just that depending on ours whether we would really be that highly impulsive and making out some assumptions that it might be something that shady or really that suspicious on why they are winning constantly or having on higher rates on which it would be leading out to the idea that they might be that giving out some chance by the house itself
to make them look a solid winner?

There's no way on proving it out unless if its really been that busted but after all these years on which those things are really just that assumptions
but without having those solid evidences.
552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really too Expensive? Then Buy Satoshis on: November 20, 2023, 08:59:12 PM
I don't want to do the math but it's possible when or if Bitcoin reach a million dollars, this isn't going to happen very soon I believe it's going to take a lot of time before we get there, right now I believe people should keep aiming for 1BTC it is still very possible, do this for the long term you will get there, you don't have to buy 1 BTC in a year if you are making not so much money.

I plan to keep accumulating Bitcoin for many more years to get to my main target, I am doing it gradually to my own convenience, it's not a do or die something, it is something you should do with ease and when you can afford it, we are still in a bear market right now, so you still have enough time to keep accumulating before Bull market get here...


Even on my wildest dreams on which there's no way for Bitcoin to reach up a million but since future is something that cant be predicted then it could happen and it would really be entirely be depending on the demand.
This is why it would really be that better that you should be going or thinking about something realistic rather than on making yourself hopeful. It would really be just that a distraction on your part if you do keep
on minding or thinking about Bitcoins price to go up on millions. Investing on Bitcoin doesnt necessarily be talking about getting a whole coin on which you would really be that thinking about getting it on that
quantity on which we know that it would really be that not cheap on which means that only a few could be able to afford on which to those people who have that financial capacity.

Somewhat we could be able to make a whole coin via investing + making up some bitcoin paying work/jobs/services or whatever things that you are getting involved into.
Its not necessary to get a whole coin yet we could really be able to own fractions of it on which it is really just that normal that we would really be
sticking into this method but its really that great to own a whole coin.
553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gambling and Invest in gambling. on: November 20, 2023, 08:33:33 PM
How do I take advantages over the gambles while I am not gambling anymore?
I tend to invest in the gambling. How?
At my visits in the gambling grounds, I will be lending my funds to the losers who has run out of  funds and willing to bet more if they have more money.
I tends to make this a deal with interest charges with concrete agreement to be secured and I will be opened to also accepting collaterals.

I verily know that I will succeed more of the inexperienced and those gamblers who doesn't have gambling budgets including those who can't take control over their gambling emotions
This is not investing in gambling. You are not different from a running a credit scheme. It is almost like gamblers using a credit card for gambling.
The real investing in gambling is opening and running a gambling business like a casino or a sports book.
If you have enough money you can partner with someone on this. In the mean time, you have to be careful about giving out money to gamblers they are terrible at paying back.

It is easy to apply such stigma to gamblers, called them out for not being good at paying back, but I would say it depends rather on the person and not what activities their partake in (consuming drugs do not count, though), there are gamblers who are responsible and will give the money back gladly in order to keep their reputation. I have seen at least one gambler here in the forum to ask for a loan directly to their casino account and he was granted such loan based on its reputation and level on the forum. It is about the same in the real life.

Also, running a credit scheme even though it does bot have anything to do with gambling is a legitimate way to do business, though. Even here in the forum we have got users who actively concede loans, many.
Running up a loan business isnt bad and what most people that do really focusing about is on the ethicality of such business on which taking up advantage into those people who had just wrecked themselves
on which you are really that trying out to offer them on getting some loans with those kind of interest. Well, its a sweet spot because you are pretty sure that they would really be getting specially to those
who are really that addicted. Its true that we cant really make out that directly judgement about people not to be able to repay their loans or debts to someone. It is really just that we are really just that
being conclusive when it comes to things.

This is why we do really end up on having that assumption that they arent capable on repaying but its true that there are people who cant really just that afford on making
their reputation to be  that something that bad, they do take loans but doesnt mean that they cant repay it on time.

How many people have you been able to change after they get addicted to gambling? And what is there level of addiction?

From my own experience, I get to know that those gamblers who are secretly gambling in their rooms and develop the addiction habit have the biggest problem, gambling addiction is like 'wanting more' and never getting enough, you will have all day thinking about gambling, maybe if you do this or you do that, maybe the result will be different.

I was able to talk sense into two different addicted gamblers and they also get help from family members, but the major reason why they too so long in their addiction is because they don't open up to anybody, they kept it all inside of them and it's killing them.

Things get better after they voiced out about their addiction and they are able to get help, any gambling addicts you know of? what method works for you when helping them?

If you are facing gambling addictions and you are keeping it all to yourself, you are worsening your problem, find someone who is close to you and open up to them, letting it all out will bring you some relieve and hopefully you will get better, don't wait till you hit the rock bottom before you say it all out.

The title of your topic really caught my attention lol, when you have an addiction problem, it's good if you tell it to people you trust, surely the people closest to you will help you with all the experience they have.  Don't keep any problems that you can't handle, you're just hurting yourself slowly. There are many methods that can cure someone from addiction, and one of them is by consulting a party you trust or a gambling addiction healing counseling agency. Don't let your gambling addiction drag on too long, be careful with that.
There are only 3 things which i do see that you would really be needing for you to quit up addiction
and it would really be in order basing up on how you would really be doing accordingly.

1. Control to your self/Self will/Discipline
2. Help from loved ones
3. Professional help when it comes to gambling problems

You wouldn't really be putting up yourself on such condition if you are really just that responsible towards your gambling. People do usually make some learnings on the time that they do experience
unfortunate conditions or situations on which it would really be just that a normal reaction. Dont let yourself do experience unfortunate conditions first before you would be tending to avoid things.
As much as possible you should really be needing to have that control over things so that you wont really be coming into this point.

People do really make out learnings on the time that its already too late, dont come into a point that you would really be giving out that huge impact or effect into your
finances before you would really be considering on stopping or having that good control towards your gambling activity.

DEX projects are one of the best projects to invest, but of course if the project is still new, then you have to really DYOR or you will lose your money, so if you already DYOR and are sure about the project, then you can invest in the project and if the project is successful, so of course the price will definitely increase very high and you will get a big profit, then in my opinion if you are ready for the risk (losing your money) and already DYOR, so there is no harm to investing in the project.
But DYOR isn't any kind of guarantee as the amount of information you can study, is limited to what devs have put available. It can be anything from generic vague plans to plagiarized material. And even if what you read would look cool, it could be all lies, misleading or designed in a way you don't fully understand it. And not only you need to understand what you are reading, you need to be aware of the competition and if the markets are flooded with that kind of tokens with better teams behind them. You need to understand about valuation etc.

So i wouldn't say that DEx projects are best projects to invest. Most likely they are just another copypaste garbage made with AI in a day. They can cool be but so can anything else. DEX isn't the important issue here. There are dexes already. How do you compete with their track record of stability and liquidity?
There's no such thing about guarantee on which we know that no matter how hard you do try to accumulate or learn up things along the way, there would really be no assurance that you do make out that 100% right decision on which same as you said that there are other things which hadnt been shown in public or being written on which plans could really be altered or would be changed up. The good thing on the time that you do make out some research is that you are really that fully aware at least on whats the project is all about and the team/dev behind. This is why it would really be that important that you are really that attentive on whatever
changes that do really happen if ever there's one so that you would really be fully be aware or updated.

Right time for investment? If we do speak about old projects then it would be always better to buy at the bottom or simply target out when its on that extreme bear market.
If we do speak about new projects then it would really be that according into your own DYOR. You are the ones who would really be that making up some research and it would be always falls
down into your own preference and choices in speaking about the project you are tending to invest on. We do have our own interest and decisions to take.

I created this topic as a result of this news, a young Ghanaian man won 6,000,000 GHC ($501,664) with a bet of 40 GHC. This happened few days ago and it trended on social media. Some of the comments from netizens are that the young man should leave Ghana to avoid being robbed or poisoned.

I know some of us must have seen the formal presentation of a mega winner to the public by a gambling platform. Most times, these bookies invite media outlets to their offices to cover the ceremony, so that the news could be captured on newspapers, tv, internet etc. My questions are...  Can a bettor reject being unveiled to the public? Are gambling platforms paying an extra money for the publicity?

There are many examples of people being or trying to be ananymous when they win a large amount of money. Large amounts of money for a normal person do attract different risks. Being anonymous is much easier online while offline lotteries prefer to share the person and how it changed their life and most people also like the fanfare along the win. Sometimes it's the terms and conditions of the lottery that comples the winner to express themselves on media while when not such terms in existence, there are example of people
Same goes into this winner too on having some costume.
https://news.yahoo.com/chinese-lottery-winner-wears-costume-223523976.html

If they would really be allowing such kind of publicity and minding about request of someones when it comes to their privacy then it wont really be that bad on wearing up some costume.
Yes, it do really impose that huge risks on winners side when it comes on exposing themselves to public considering on the amount that they have won on which it is really that
something that could make those criminals will really be taking advantage on, specially if they do know on whose that winner or simply being targeted by those people
who do have bad intents. So it is really just that your have the rights on making yourself that getting those win in private but if this cant be possible then wearing costume would be your solution.

It should really be that standard on where someone could have the option on neither they are willing to exposed themselves or not in the public rather than on making it compulsory or needed.
Well, for some part of marketing on why they are doing this but speaking about safety and security then it would really be that totally opposite.
For most instances which winners would really be not so dumb to make their faces to be publicize and we arent that a fool on not to know about the risks and danger on doing so.

Trust has little to do with taking loans from a bank. It’s more like the lack of financial credibility from the loan applicant as the bank wouldn’t believe the applicant could pay back the loan at the stipulated time.
Applying for a loan for a business is serious business as no one would be willing to invest in a pipe dream.
You are right, my friend recently applied for a loan to build a new business but the bank will review your work history and your monthly income, if financial credibility does not support the amount of loan that has been proposed then the bank will not approve his proposal and other solutions they have to make a loan application lower according to the predetermined payment time.

Quote
I agree with you on the need for information and need to make proper research in preparing a business proposal. A good number of applicants don’t take their proposals and presentations on their ideas seriously and the lender would end up not being interested irrespective of how viable the business may seem.
We must have business management skills and have the ability to develop entrepreneurship, however you have planned a strategy in a business proposal, it will be meaningless if you do not have the skills to develop your business, lenders will review your proposal and they will ask critical questions about your proposal. . They are very careful in selecting business proposals that are suitable for providing loan capital for long-term business periods.
Banks wont really be that dumb on giving or granting some loans on whatever a certain individual would really be requesting on which means that they would really be adjusting basing up
with your financial capacity which would really be checked into your bank accounts history from those income and outgoing transactions whether it would fit out into the amount requested for loan or not,
if they wont really be that get convinced then they would really be asking further more possible things that you can add up like those business and other source of income you do have
or having those properties or possessions on which it would really be acting out as a collateral for the said possible loan that you are requesting. If ever you cant really be able to present one of those then you are most likely be rejected or would fail on getting approved.

You would really be taking up such huge risks on trying out to take a loan but doesnt have the idea on how to run a business yet if ever you do get a loan or being approved but doesnt have
the idea on what you should gonna do then you are really that putting those amounts into danger of losing or spending it all on something which it isnt worth.
Tons of people who do have some brilliant ideas in mind on how and which business they are really that planning to start with, capital is really just that the main issue or problem.
558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling on: November 17, 2023, 08:43:32 PM
Between drugs and gambling, which one do you think is more addicting than the other? I have a good reason for asking this question, because there is something I saw not too long and I am doubting if anyone have seen the same thing, I am from a place where crack heads ( drugs addicts ) and also gambling addicts are all around, here is what I've seen.

I have seen crack heads more than responsible with there cash, than gambling addicts, this is what make me to ask you guys this question, drug junks are more responsible than gamblers, I have seen a gambling addict who spend 200 grand in under one and half hour on gambling, I've never seen a crack head done such before, not even on drugs.

I have seen a crack head who changed and when we had some chats he thank God in front of me, saying he is thankful that is addiction was on drugs and not gambling, he sounds so scary of getting addicted to gambling as he confirmed that gambling seems so much harder to quit.

He went on and say something about his friend who use 15 years on gambling and the friend isn't really sure how he will stop and the friend said that if he didn't stop it will kill him sooner or later, like he knew the danger lurking but he doesn't know how to stop, he isn't sure he will get better. The friend started telling him how the world will be better off without him, that's when they started locking him up, and the battle to change him when on for four years straight before he died from strange illness.

I was so scared with this story and It affected me for a while, I stopped gambling for a week because of what I heard from this man, his appearance is that of someone you won't want to listen to but what he went through is so eye opening that if other addicted gamblers hear from him it could change them, gambling addiction is really scary.

Any form of addiction is always been that bad, but if we do make up some comparison in between drug addiction then i could say that it is really more worst.
Why? it isnt really that only affecting your financial badly but also into your body or health or your brain which it could really be a lifetime effect.

Spending up bucks would be faster and instant on gambling literally or no brainer but spending some hundreds of bucks in drugs would really be
enough on making your crazy.  Grin

Any addiction is curable or something that you could be able to heal and make such changes. It wouldreally be that a matter of choice and discipline towards
quitting which we know that it wont really be that so simple to achieve but not really impossible though.

You wont really be needing some eye opening  for you to stop gambling, as long you do make yourself that responsible then i dont really
think that you would be needing up to quit just because you've been scared with those things.
559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some rich person not interest about bitcoin for following reason on: November 17, 2023, 07:46:36 PM
A friend of mine is not interested in buying Bitcoin even after learning about it.
Because according to him Bitcoin is a small number of people who have a lot of Bitcoin. They can easily go down on the bitcoin market if they want to.
Example: Cz. Craig wright & Michel Sailor etc.

Looking forward to the well thought out opinion of the experienced in this regard.


Well, we all have different opinions on Bitcoin which is actually normal. Even if you say that there are only a few people holding Bitcoin, the market still depends on its volatility Bitcoin's potential for the long term for sure would increase its value but its current value would be volatile. If your friend is already rich and doesn't want to invest in Bitcoin, I think it's more like his preference, because he might get rich in another way cause if he'd make money in Bitcoin, he wouldn't doubt it. Some rich people find alternative investments other than their source of money like from their business than putting them into a bank. I also think that your friend might not be knowledgeable enough in the crypto industry but has other ways of making money where he's much more skilled and smart.
And if they do have that kind of point of view then let it be, if you do try to make some explaination then it might really be ending up on some long discussion or even a debate on which it is really that pointless if you are really that trying out to win against on someone who are not a believer or something that do really accepts any new ideas. For some then they might really be able to welcome some good opportunity or new ideas on which it might result into some good introduction of Bitcoin into other people but since we are talking into those rich person who had able to acquire their richness via with those traditional investments or things then they are the ones who might not really be that easily believe into something which is speculative and highly volatile on which i couldnt really blame them.

It would really be just that too impossible  that they wouldnt really be able to think up things and could be able to balance out on whats risky and whats less risky. This is why they would really be
deciding on what are the things that they would really be gonna deal off with and what are the things that they must avoid.If on the time that you do make out some explaination or introduction with
these kind of people and rejects out on the things you've been trying to explain then it wont really be that a bad idea on turning back directly and dont force them to believe
on something that they arent interested.

It should be and just like here in our country on which if you are a lottery winner then you would really be hidden up specially into your identity. They do really give out importance about privacy thing because its true that
someones life would really be put up in risks if they wont really be that doing so considering that we are talking about huge money on here on which it would really be just that normal that they would be assuming
that announcing the winner publicly would really be putting that someones life at risks knowing that criminal minds would really be that spotting that winner once they do go home.
Speaking about denial for exposure then of course they are really that having the rights on now to show themselves on public.

Somewhat it is really that a hard part for a lottery or any platform about winning up a certain jackpot or whatever promotion they do have if they wont really show up some winner.
You know that people around would really be throwing out those baseless accusations in speaking about legitimacy of a certain thing when they cant be able to see some winner
on which i do see the primary reason on why they are really that tending to show off as much as possible for a winner but for huge hits on sports betting sites then
i do see that it should really be the same.
