As long as you can't make a lot of money investing or trading bitcoins, you don't need to quit your job and stick to bitcoins as a part time job. It can help you make even more money and prepare for your future retirement when your bitcoin investment or trading can make you a lot of money.

But if you are more comfortable with bitcoin trading or investing and bored with your job, you can just quit. But you must understand the consequences because quitting your job means you lose your salary every month and you must try hard to earn money trading bitcoins.

I don't know if it is a good or bad plan, but each person probably has his plan and think everything, even for the risk he has calculated and predicted what will happen. From what you have said, you are used to making good plans. If you feel you can do it, you can try it, see the short-term results, and evaluate it to see how far your plan has gone. If your plan doesn't go how you want, you must know what to do so the loan money won't go to waste.

I'm surprised you didn't find anything. Or maybe you missed something that keeps you from investing in PEPE coin? I saw that some people could buy PEPE coins even when the price started to increase and finally, they could get profits like the people who bought it at the beginning before the launch.

You have to look for more so you don't miss something and can invest in the coins you want. There are still many new coins like PEPE but you have to look for them in more detail.

From your story, you don't need to feel lonely because your girlfriend left you. But we all have probably experienced it and do things differently. You gamble because you feel lonely and that is not a good thing.

Maybe it's more if you forget your girlfriend, move on and do something that can make your girlfriend want to come back to you. But that's impossible because your girlfriend has disappointed you. So forget about her. There are still many women who want to be your girlfriend.

Geez, it's become a kind of consulting agency Grin

Yes, people who can manage to quit even they've got some losses from their bankroll they can call for the day and quit their way to take time to breathe some air and relax their minds.

Isn't it because that they think they have enough access to money to gamble as they like makes them often loose control in gambling with all responsibility and integrity, rather they make it a freedom abused upon to gambles with the money they either stole, inherit or got as gift because no average gambler will suffer to earn a living and ended up squandering the entire money into gambling, well this is common the the celebrities anyway, they also spend lavishly when it comes to gambling, they have no caution for control.
I don't think taking a break when you are losing constantly has anything to do with your access to money and how much you have, it is a practice that everyone should follow if they want to relax their mind and don't want to have mixed emotions which often makes you take rash decisions and you end up losing almost everything at one time.

Such things are a quality of a responsible gambler since such people don't rage when they lose, they stay calm and handle the situation with care so that it doesn't get from bad to worse and they can control themselves so that they can have control over their gambling.
Thinking about taking a break from gambling can help put your mind at ease after a few losses and even if you could access or use more money, you'd think it wasn't worth it because you've lost before. And with a little rest, we can think we better quit gambling. In gambling, we can quickly feel emotions rising beyond our control and if that happens, we can lose money because we have lost.

And it's true that if we can stay calm, we can handle the situation well and even though we've lost a few dollars, we can still smile and walk away from the casino. But it's not easy and it takes a lot of practice to control the rising emotions.
5426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: May 21, 2023, 07:31:06 AM
This happened to me already twice in a row. I'm gambling for a long time but this is the first time I experience this kind of messy situation because it involves the fck up mempool.

I deposit my funds in a casino using a low-priority fee. I managed to triple my bankroll by playing a quick game of Blackjack with huge bets. But since my deposit is so frickin slow to confirm while I don't want to bump my fee since it will create a different transaction on my account. Due to my winning streak while still waiting for many hours, I decided to just play slowly using a 1$ bet. This 1$ bet grows to all-in because I just keep losing for an insane lose streak just because I can't withdraw my funds.

Sharing my personal experience of my recent losses so that no one will commit this same mistake. Bet responsibly. I will stay away from gambling for a while now that mempool is starting to suck once again.

DON'T GAMBLE IF THE INSTANT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT AVAILABLE!
I could only imagine how bad you could be feeling and basically I don't like gambling  with lesser  amount because it gives a feeling of losing comfortably  because there is a feeling  of being able to replace them if there is a lose.
And you shouldn't have attempted making withdrawals as at when  the mempools was having issues and truly you were impatient  and I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way.
Gambling with a small balance but we continue to gamble is the same as we use a lot of money in the end, especially if we experience defeat. The loss will be big because we bet for a while and if we count the total amount of the loss, maybe we can be surprised because the total amount could exceed the budget we set.

We can check what transaction fees we incur before processing the withdrawal to think that now is the right time or we should wait. That's all we have to do so we don't pay too large withdrawal fees.
5427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 21, 2023, 06:23:06 AM
There are gamblers who see the gambling as the way to make passive income but once they lose their whole life savings in a day it becomes their biggest nightmare, unfortunately.
Some users are not mentally healthy to control their emotions, so they keep chasing big wins that may happen in the next minute or after a year.
Gambling with zero expectations is the best method to fight gambling stress, otherwise, it becomes the way you torture yourself in the long run, IMHO.
We recommend that in gambling, you only play to have fun and after that pleasure is obtained, you must leave the casino immediately so you are not tempted to continue playing. We have seen how it affects many gamblers who continue to gamble until their money runs out and have lost a lot of money. That will make them think about recovering from their loss first and then try to get the win. It will drain your energy and money because you will only think about getting a win without realizing your limits. We cannot use gambling to make money, so we must realize it before it is too late and we become addicted.
No doubt, you're a champion of responsible gambling, and that's a mantle to be applauded. However, allow me to pitch this curveball: the role of personal accountability.

In any endeavor laden with potential hazards—be it placing a bet, enjoying a drink, or engaging in adrenaline-fueled sports—shouldn't the torch of responsibility rest in the individual's hands? True, society has a role to play in erecting safety barriers, but when all's said and done, isn't it the prerogative of the individual to set their own boundaries?

Instead of perceiving gambling as a one-way ticket to the depths of addiction, perhaps we should instill a culture of personal responsibility and decision-making prowess. This approach could enable folks to revel in the occasional thrill of a wager without descending the slippery slope towards destruction. Isn't this an angle that warrants further debate?
If more people can take responsibility for playing gambling, it will reduce the number of addictions. We will not see many people who will experience the effects of gambling addiction. Becoming a gambler is everyone's choice but they should know that if that is their choice, they must have it all because of the dangers of gambling itself and the serious repercussions it can get.

That's why gamblers must have limits so they don't become addicted and can enjoy gambling well. And if we know of any of our friends or family who have experienced gambling addiction, we can try to take the approach as you say. They can change their gambling habits and even cure their addiction. It will help them greatly and they will be happy to know they can be cured with your help.
5428  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is this considered a safe practice on: May 21, 2023, 05:17:04 AM
The funny aspect is that chasing after bonus is very easy to achieved but winning is the most difficult task to get done, and this is the aspect that most of the gamblers missed it from, they will because of the bonus hunt chase after a particular game and use the money they can't afford to loose in chasing after this, some over run this by leaving their private life vulnerable to attack and also chase after bonus, at the end, they will all have the bonus but loose their own money, it's time we wise up in gambling and avoid taking some unnecessary risk that are too expensive for us to accommodate their consequences in gambling.
And those of us who already know the risks in pursuing the bonus must really think about whether it's still worth doing or whether we don't need to try to get the bonus. After all, later, the casino will also provide other bonuses that we can get without going through difficult requirements and only then are they worth getting. Using more money just to chase bonuses may not seem feasible to small gamblers or people who gamble infrequently, but if they really want to, they can try it. The important thing is they already know the risks and can accept everything that will happen later.

I wonder whose on their right mind that will be happy to have a $100 bonus and lost $500 everytime, that's totally insane. Even if I'm new to some casino sites, I only think for once about these bonuses in the very beginning but after that we're separating apart on my mind because I know that's more like of a decoration.
It would be a funny story that we could tell that there were people who earned $100 but lost $500. It is still not worth doing because we will lose much money. This is why little gamblers like us should only play gambling for fun.

Conditions must apply to qualify for the bonus. If those conditions cannot be fulfilled properly. Then there will be no possibility of getting bonus. However, if one's personal information is shared for the purpose of getting something of this uncertain nature, then there is danger involved. Providing information in countries where gambling is not currently permitted is a risky proposition. There are many ways to make a deposit but I would never support it with a credit card. Also, if there is a new site to do this kind of work, no matter how big the bonus amount, I will not be attracted until I am sure about that site.
Don't forget about the wagering requirements because usually, to get the bonus, we have to follow the rules and if we don't know it, we can be disappointed and feel what we are doing is in vain. If there are conditions requiring us to submit documents or personal information, we should think about what is in it and maybe asking the support service would be better. Playing gambling using a credit card will only make us lose a lot of money, especially if we don't need to deposit anything and just link the credit card to our account.
5429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin retirement benefits on: May 21, 2023, 04:17:43 AM
And if we can teach them about Bitcoin, that would be a great lesson because they already know that there are ways they can make money in the future. They can avoid fierce competition in finding work because later on, whoever survives will be the one who will benefit.

And bitcoin has become a great way to make a long-term investment, regardless of whether they are still looking for something else to make money. At least they can prepare for retirement faster than their peers.
It will be a fortune for our children if they get Bitcoin in the future from our current efforts.
Providing a privilege so that they will be able to survive and compete with others from the Bitcoin investment.
I don't know what the right price is for Bitcoin in the next 20 years, but I'm sure the price will be higher than it is now.

Bitcoin becomes a cross-generational investment that can make a lot of money so it's not just a fruitless investment.
Even though it is not fully supported by the government, Bitcoin will not be eroded by the times.
No one will know how much the price of Bitcoin will be in the future but what is clear is with Bitcoin from us, our children will be very lucky to have Bitcoin already so they can use it for their benefit. And I think if we can teach them how to use Bitcoin well, they can earn and earn more.

And those of us who already have Bitcoin from now on are also very lucky and should be grateful that we are allowed to prepare for a better future. And if the adoption of Bitcoin is growing, the government will also allow its citizens to use it without any restrictions.

Most scam casinos actually come from new casinos in this industry. Because others like gamblers and well-known influencers also planted in the minds of most gamblers that when a casino is new, the chances of you winning a lot of money are high.

It is these hyped things that they say are the ones that make an impression on the online gambling community, so many are victims of online casinos. The majority of people think that they will get a lot of money for a small amount in gambling, but they will realize in the end that they have lost a lot and even exceeded the small capital that they thought would be a big amount, but it turned out to be a big amount in the end. they will lose.
Gamblers should not have thought that a new casino could give them a chance to win big money. That is an erroneous thought because their chances of losing may be greater than the wins they can get.

But indeed, they also can win, especially if they can get lucky when gambling. They could prevent big losses if they used small bets and kept track of how long they had been gambling. But it depends on how they control the use of money.

Let's not also forget to discuss about the advantage in taking into consideration the new casinos as well, for everything, there's always an advantage and a disadvantage in it, there are many reasons why you could see gamblers inter in newly established casinos just because they aren't satisfied enough from the ones they have been using, that's why there's a need for a consistent upgrades in those casinos in other to help them maintain their security and gamblers as well, also trying out something is another desire which anyone can have taste for.

We may feel like trying a new casino features and make comparisons to what we've been receiving before, this is also a right to any gambler to choose his desiring platform to gamble on, but the risk of falling into scam casinos might have increased while doing this, most importantly, it Should be an occasional occurrence not what we should be doing often moving from one casino to another.

You can try playing in a new casino to try out the features, but remember that we don't know how the service is. After all, many of the new casinos only provide good service at the start of their launch, but after a few months, they can no longer provide good service.

Apart from that, you also have to remember that you don't use a lot of money to try the features so that you won't regret it if something happens. And for those new casinos, if they can provide satisfactory service, there will surely be many people who return to gambling at the casino, which is an advantage for the casino.
5431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: May 21, 2023, 01:46:21 AM
not many casinos do that automatically and change transaction fees in real time, not only that even big exchange sites like binance just can't do it in real time often profit from user transaction fees whereas transaction fees are very cheap at that time, casinos that doing in real time it's not much and only big casinos.

Small casinos don't even care about stealing transaction fees from their users, as long as it's profitable for the casino that's fine for them, but problematic for us active gamblers who want to withdraw our money from the casino. Just a suggestion, gamblers should look at the withdrawal transaction costs before making a deposit to measure their ability to withdraw.
Maybe not real time but they can change it by changing the codes in the withdrawal section. I also do not know how but I think like that. Yes, both casino sites and exchanges benefit more from increasing their fees. However, let's think that the profits from those fees will be used to improve their services to provide satisfactory service to their members.

I think all businesses will be like that except for casinos which have no intention of providing satisfactory service to their members because all they think about is getting benefits from their members. And if you don't want to pay those fees, you should check the fees first and if the fees are still high, you can hold off on making the transaction.
5432  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Budget For Halving on: May 20, 2023, 05:22:42 PM
Many people don't recommend taking out a loan to invest in bitcoin because it's too risky. We don't know when bitcoin will get a bull run so we can only wait for it. And if you can't pay the loan bills every month, you won't be able to benefit. We also don't know if bitcoin can increase in the next 2 years because your plan is risky.

But if you can pay the loan bills well for 2 years, you can just borrow money at the bank and pay the bills regularly for 2 years. And when the price of bitcoin goes up, you can sell it for a big profit so you can immediately close the loan at once. But if the scenario is like that because if not, it will only make it difficult for you.

As a beginner, you can make a profit in crypto trading but must be able to analyze the market well. Do not rely on advice from other people to trade because their advice may not work for you. If you feel that your expertise is in analysis, you should learn more from trusted sources so that you don't depend on other people to analyze. And I suggest not using copy trading because you don't know how someone trades, and it's risky. After all, if you want to use copy trading, you have to find a trader who has good trading skills so that you can also earn like him. And I don't recommend you to try it because it's risky.
5434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Before investing on meme coin or shitcoins consider this. on: May 20, 2023, 03:38:07 PM
What @OP said is true but there are still people who want to gamble with those shitcoins so they invest their money to buy meme coins and hope the meme coins explode once they are released to exchanges. But that is not the case as only some meme coins can explode while others will disappear from the market even before the meme coins are released.

So if you want to gamble with coin memes, you have to be able to find the right coin memes to get big profits. This is a difficult thing to do because, from the many coin memes, we have to get a lot of information that is not all true. So it's true that we have to be careful if we want to buy those meme coins.
5435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 20, 2023, 02:40:56 PM
This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue

Get physically active. This could be running, boxing, swimming. Walking in the fresh air in the woods or in the park is a good option. You need to expend energy, otherwise that energy will be wasted at the casino. I think these advices will help gamblers to play less in casinos.
Doing physical activity is highly recommended for everyone, including people who often play gambling, because it diverts their attention from playing gambling. And it can also help him reduce his gambling activity because, with that activity, he will focus on one thing and forget about other things for a while so that he won't think about gambling. And maybe he could take a break from gambling for a while, which would obviously allow him to forget about gambling. We can do it in many ways when we feel that we have thought too much about gambling, but that will depend on us.
5436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: May 20, 2023, 01:48:10 PM
I do not say anything when it comes to bonuses or promotions where they demand what they want, things that nobody can do, because they can do it because it is simply their promotions and bonuses, but when it comes to withdrawal I understand that they can ask for the KYC, but It seems exaggerated to me when they take more than 3 days to verify or that they demand many requirements to be able to verify, it is not something that seems good to me, a withdrawal must be approved quickly because that causes one to get angry when they ask for many things which are not necessary.

Regarding bonuses or promotions, we must check the wagering requirements so that we don't misunderstand because many of us forget about that and just deposit money and play gambling. But when we win and want to withdraw the money, we are faced with a KYC request by the casino, which makes us feel cheated by the terms behind the promotion even though it is written that other requirements are needed before we can withdraw the money. And when the casino takes 3 days, I think it's still within reasonable limits because the casino needs to ensure that its members are not involved in any illegal activity. But it is questionable if it has passed 7 days because we have waited too long for the verification process and desire to withdraw money.
5437  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is this considered a safe practice on: May 20, 2023, 12:53:20 PM
If the gambling company is well-reputable, then spending that kind of amount to reach the bonuses may be a good idea to save money in the future.
That is definitely be frowned upon considering it's gambling and there's no certainties that you can win and save money on those bonuses. Let us say you collected a staggering bonus yet you're on a loss, that for sure will be a bad practice. Moreover, banks doesn't consider gambling for credit score.

Maybe he can get that bonus but he has to remember that in gambling, we can't always win after getting that bonus. Many of us experience loss even though we get bonuses, which is why we don't need to chase bonuses if we feel they are difficult to get. It's better to just play gambling as usual without purpose other than just to get pleasure from gambling. And using a credit card just to get a bonus is not a good idea considering we have to prepare some money to be paid to the bank and we also don't know how much we will lose.
5438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: May 20, 2023, 11:45:21 AM
Yes, those casinos are clearly taking advantage of us as much as they can. It only proves that they are not worth to play and cannot be trusted. That’s the reason why we need to be careful in choosing for an online casino, the one that is more secured and is proven to give customer support rather than luring its customers with high gas fees. Robbery is always bad, so we should learn to avoid online casinos that is clearly practicing this negative treatment towards its players or users.
But it could be that the casino charges its members more when the members want to withdraw their money. This is because the transaction fees on the network have also increased, making casinos have to increase their transaction fees. And usually, there will be a notification from the casino that they are increasing the transaction fee due to the network's increased fees. Hence, the casino has to adjust the fees accordingly. Once the fees are back to normal, the casino will also notify its members that the fees are back to normal and have been reduced.
5439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: May 20, 2023, 11:00:23 AM
~snip~
A gambling addict who does not want to get rid of addiction immediately will definitely get worse and will lose all valuables and savings.
Especially slot games which are faster increasing gambling addicts as I saw in the city say that there are some young people who don't know about gambling but after seeing slot advertisements he wants to try and ends up addicted to selling various valuables and houses.

Yeah, that's the thing, a gambling addict can cause a lot of damage to his life financially in a single session.

Even an alcoholic usually requires some time to actually make some permanent damage, but with a casino you can lose all your life's savings in a single night.

It's really something extremely bad if not kept under control.
That is the danger of gambling and alcohol addiction because they destroy our lives slowly but surely. And before we become addicted to gambling or alcohol, we better be aware of it and try to anticipate the urge to gamble by doing many things that will help us not to think about gambling. This is important to do by doing other things. Our focus will shift to that and try to get rid of thoughts about gambling. However, it is not easy to do and only people who strongly desire to heal themselves from their addiction or addiction symptoms can do it. At the same time, others will even play gambling more often than trying to stop their gambling activities temporarily.
5440  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: May 20, 2023, 09:46:32 AM
But the idea of a casino is for people to think they can get a lot of money, that's what most attracts people to come in and play, one of the things I've always seen in casinos is that they make things They can be very pretty and with that they are attracted, there are people who eat what they see and only with that they can play and have a good time, yet casinos have many ways of attracting them and that is what differentiates one casino from another, each one Some of the casinos have ways to attract and the way they attract the most is by promising good Bonuses.
And these people should still be able to restrain themselves from being tempted by offers from casinos in the form of attractive bonuses. That's so they know that these attractive bonuses don't always come true because they will depend on each casino. And if the promotion comes from a scam casino, they obviously won't be able to get anything other than just depositing the money and just disappearing at the gambling table. This is why we must be careful in participating in the many offers provided by casinos so that we don't get scammed by the casino.

^The fact that it is important for gamblers to have realistic expectations when it comes to winning big money at a new casino. Assuming that a new casino will automatically increase their chances of winning is a mistaken belief, as the odds of losing may actually be higher than the potential wins. However, probably there is still a possibility of winning, particularly if luck is on their side. They can lessen the risk of significant losses by employing strategies such as using small bets and keeping track of their gambling duration because success in gambling depends on individual money management and self-control. In the end, we should be responsible gamblers as always.
Of course, there are still gamblers who can be lucky to win money from a new casino. But the problem is whether the new casino will allow gamblers to withdraw their money or will hold it for various reasons. But if the new casino is really serious about caring for its members and wants to grow the casino to be big, the casino will surely process its transactions according to what they say. And it is true that this will return to gamblers. That's why we must be able to become responsible gamblers who will not be tempted by offers that may not match reality.
