Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.
condolences to your friend who has lost the wife he loved, if we talk about loneliness, it is actually quite complex because people will try hard to find or do things that can divert their minds from things that make them sick or when loneliness comes to them.  i'm not lonely at the moment, but if i were lonely i might continue gambling to divert my thoughts, rather than me continuing to feel loneliness which really makes my mind uneasy.  however, the thing that must be paid attention to is the duration of the gambling that is carried out, if it has exceeded the time limit set then stop so that you don't become a gambling addict.

The combination of these fundamental factors has led to the rise in value of Bitcoin. Also distribution limits and mainstreaming means that Bitcoin's supply mechanism affects the mainstream price on the upside.
everything you say here is very true, but I will add a little about the causes of the increase in the price of bitcoin, such as world economic uncertainty that occurred, investors immediately looked at investments that were safe and immune to inflation, namely bitcoin, and usually, the adoption was carried out by large companies greatly influences the price of bitcoin too.  In essence, market sentiment is something that has a big influence on the price of bitcoin, without market sentiment, the price of bitcoin is unlikely to move very volatile.

Shocked Crazy result! Cagliari scored almost as many goals in this game as they had scored in the previous 9 rounds. 2 goals (which just brought the victory) were scored in extra time. I would like to know what the odds were for Cagliari to win with the score 0-3, I'm sure the odds were more than 100. It's funny that even this victory didn't change Cagliari's position in the standings much.
Cagliari were very lucky, they managed to win with two goals scored by Pavoletti in the 94th and 96th minutes.

Meanwhile Juventus managed to win 1-0 over Verona and Cambiaso managed to score one goal in the 96th minute, Juventus is increasingly competing with Inter at the top of the Serie A standings.

The exciting match currently taking place is Inter vs Roma, the score is still 0-0, if Inter lose then their position will easily be shifted by Juventus, but if Inter manages to win then they will remain at the top of the standings.
584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: October 29, 2023, 05:26:36 PM

 Hi guys, coming through with a rather odd question this morning.

So, i was looking up on Wikipedia the meaning of Money Laundering , and below is a quote of how the site defined the term "Money Laundering"

Quote
Money laundering is the process of illegally concealing the origin of money, obtained from illicit activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source. It is a crime in many jurisdictions with varying definitions. It is usually a key operation of organized crime.

So, after i saw that Gambling was mentioned or listed among the listed illicit activities through which money can or could be laundered, I can't help but wonder if gambling is actually an illicit activity.

Wikipedia did not mention gambling being an illicit activity in their definition of gambling here, why then did they mention gambling as one of illicit activity through which money laundering can be carried out?

Please check this out and share your thoughts.
in some cases of money laundering, some corruptors deliberately make deposits or collaborate with casino business owners to receive their money, and if they get into trouble, the corruptor will answer that he lost his gamble.  this kind of practice has been going on for a long time and many corruption suspects have done it, gambling is not a prohibited activity, there are many countries that legalize gambling and even some lotteries are handled by the government of a country, if someone says gambling is a prohibited activity then they are gambling haters.

There is no rule that war Will make free of mortgage payments.
Now it's better to own only cryptocurrency becouse crypto is untouchble by war and you can take it with you If you move in world.
Now it's not good own nothing i sell everything now and put in stablecoins and btc.
Now it's better to give your Property back to bank instead of owning i have mortgage i told my bank take it i Dont need i'll just rent apartment and hold most of my wealth in crypto.
Imagine war will destroy your Property and you still have mortgage better IS to give mortgage property to bank let them have it.

Nobody dont protect your wealth If not protect yourself safety first.
what you say here is correct, if a major war happens then there is nothing we can do, all property will definitely be destroyed, especially if you live in a country where there is war, it is very dangerous, including the property you own will be in danger. but property is still important, if you don't have a house then how will your family rest, i still recommend that you have a definite residence even though it requires you to pay the mortgage but you also have to have other investments in bitcoin, currently bitcoin is one of the assets hedge investment, don't miss investing in bitcoin.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed or risk on: October 29, 2023, 12:47:59 PM
I saw this image below on one of my friend's WhatsApp statuses earlier today. I don't know if the game was played by him or if it was an image saved from somewhere, but the image got me thinking, and we got into a debate because of that.
 
I was telling someone that if I'm the one to have such a slip and the game is already showing me to cash out such an amount of money, which is equal to $865 based on our local exchange rate, seeing such an amount as cash out available and leaving it will make me appear like someone who is too greedy, but the guy was telling me it's not being greedy but it's all about taking risks. The debate didn't end well, so I decided to bring this up here to see the responses from experienced gamblers.
 
Lucky for anyone who ever has that bet slip, it seems like the game played in his favour.
snip
in fact, the advice you gave was very good to your friend because the potential for him to lose more while continuing to play would be greater, but I noticed that your friend is someone who is very brave to take high risks.  it will be difficult for you to give advice to people who like to take big risks because they will have made quite a large profit even though the capital spent is quite large, just look at how your friend lives in the real world, if he really still has a comfortable life and if he is not in debt and his relationship with his family remains harmonious then he is definitely a responsible gambler and able to manage his finances well, so let him stick with his thoughts.

Today is  a very bad day for Chelsea, losing against Brentford is something I didn't expect from them, they got alot of chances to win the game but couldn't make good use of their chances and that's why they lost at home to Brentford today, the goals from Brentford was not very much however it was an embarrassing defeat at Stamford Bridge.
losing 2-0 at Stamford Bridge was truly a shame for Chelsea, especially since the team that beat them was a team that was not the favorite to win this match, even though Chelsea dominated the match from the start to the end, Chelsea was only able to take 2 shots against goal" while Brentford successfully made 5 "shots on goal"... currently Chelsea's position has dropped while Brentford has risen to 10th position.

meanwhile, Arsenal managed to win 5-0 over Sheff Utd, Nketiah managed to score a hattrick, while Sheff Utd had to remain at the bottom of the standings.

Yes that's true because in times of Bitcoin investment we don't have to really no everything or have so many knowledge before we could start investing although irrespective of the need to always be knowledgeable in everything but for Bitcoin accumulation we don't have to acquire so much of it.
 
Since our goals is to invest on Bitcoin with the motive of holding for many years we don't need so much of knowledge but however capital is what matters because if an investor doesn't have a good amount of funds on there portfolio and decided to invest everything without some funds to rely on is totally a gambling investment.

So is left for every investors to no there financial capability on the investment patterns they will use.
It is true, without large capital, the long-term profits that can be obtained are very small, but every Bitcoin investor must have broad insight into Bitcoin, especially now that there are quite a lot of fraudsters who are aggressively tempting investors to join them, with good insight. regarding bitcoin, the possibility of you being deceived is very small, especially for long-term holders who are planning to sell in the next few years, small things such as the personal wallet that is used must also be paid attention to, and finally, never put bitcoin in CEX, because it is very risky.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: October 28, 2023, 06:14:27 PM
I've always assumed that most casino streamers were playing with sponsored money. If somebody loses thousands of dollars in a day and comes back to gamble again the next day as if nothing happened wouldn't that seem odd? We see it with crypto youtubers also. They will put on an exaggerated performance to sell you all kinds of products and after a dozen or so rugpulls they still act like the thing they're shilling for is the greatest thing ever. Anytime there is a sponsorship involved with streamers it is very likely you are going to see a curated experience designed to attract new users to a product and not a genuine representation of what an average user might typically see.
The first rule in the world of the internet is don't easily believe anything you see on the internet, still have bad feelings about it (keep believing what you have experienced, not what you have just seen), streamers have now become the main job of some people and they are even willing to be paid just to make their viewers feel interested in what they are saying and they do, and it's all fake and what's worse is that currently there are quite a lot of influencers in crypto who make fake videos just to attract the interest of their audience, be careful with the influencers you watch.
590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 28, 2023, 05:25:05 AM
Gambling should occupy a very small place in the daily routine. They need to devote less time than any other hobby, such as drawing, IT development or studying cryptocurrencies. Because gambling should not be regarded as a full-fledged hobby. However, the above activities cannot cause addiction and lead to gambler trouble. The best option would be to play 30 minutes a day, and then only on weekends. I think that during this time you can relax. At the same time, of course, the money manager is also very important. Let's say that it was impossible to spend more than 20 percent of the total deposit in a day.
When you are into gambling you will not think of participating in gambling with some minutes, what we really needed in gambling is to have a specific amount that we will be spending weekly and monthly so that we will not be addicted, some people who focus on gambling much are people who lacks employments and they are people who do not believe their is any other ways to make money except gambling,  I'm talking of the people who use almost all their daily time to play gambles, what causes addicted in gambling is when you loss in gambling and you are looking for a way to recover the money you have loosed, and it will make you to be addicted
Maybe it's true that the majority of people who turn into gambling addicts are those who don't have a permanent job that gives them a decent income so they think that gambling is the only way for them to make money.  gambling is something that is addictive when you are unable to control it, change your mindset when gambling, when you lose then let it go, when you lose gambling today, you have to be able to change your mind tomorrow with new capital, don't let you continue gambling just for the purpose of returning the money you have lost while gambling... gamble responsibly.
591  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 27, 2023, 09:32:56 PM
We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?
Yes, it's true, the majority of women are more economical than men, men are used to being money earners for the family while women are actually the managers of family finances, but lately i've seen there are women whose lives are out of control, so hedonistic that it makes their finances a mess.  social media continues to grow and there are many influencers who show off their luxurious lives, which makes both women and men unable to control their desire to spend the money they have.

How would one do so efficiently? I am very interested.
i have never tried trading with AI bots, even though there are many people who say gunbots are quite good, but i'm not so sure, there is also a trader who claims to have made an AI (custom) with his own concept and strategy, however, this is what you have to do before starting trading with AI, you need to deepen your own knowledge of Bitcoin and the basics of trading, AI is just a tool to make trading easier for you, don't be too dependent on it, you must still have absolute decisions about the final results of your trading.

In conclusion, Bitcoin is a decentralized, scarce, innovative, adaptable, inclusive, and global. It is a superior form of money and a store of value. I can't even begin to emphasize how much of a revolution it is in the world. I hope this thread, has enlightened you and destroyed whatever doubt some of you, especially the newbies have about Bitcoin. Sure, it has its disadvantages, but what good thing doesn't? So, let's be like Satoshi Nakamoto and not like Charlie Munger.

Own a Bitcoin today, and start from somewhere no matter how small.
Charlie Munger is a close friend of Warren Buffet, she will always follow whatever is thought by Warren Buffet, well Warren Buffet has said his hates against Bitcoin, i still remember how Warren Buffet stabbed Bitcoin almost the same as Tulip Bubble but until now it was not proven at all, instead from day to day we increasingly see new investors began to glance at Bitcoin and make Bitcoin as one of the protectors of their asset values.  Bitcoin will always have an enemy because Bitcoin has messed up several large businesses and make drastic changes in the world's financial system.

Liverpool did bad in the Premier League last season and so that they are struggle in the Europa League this season. We can consider them as the favorite team for UEFA Europa League this season. Liverpool success won 3 of 3 matches in Europe League. Despite not playing all of Liverpool's core players under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool defeated Toulouse 5-1 at home.
Liverpool in the last 3 European League matches, performed extraordinary, they lost 0 and drew 0, while in the EPL, Liverpool's performance was also good, they were successful in being in the top 4 of the current standings, Jurgen Klopp has again shown his best abilities as a coach, he really believes in Nunez and i am also quite happy with the appearance of Liverpool's front line, well it looks like they are strong candidates to win the European League this season.

Even though i don't know this young lady in question personally, i felt true pity for her after coming across and reading her confession, i know how important weddings are to women and for the fact that she herself joined the man in saving, and even contributed about 60% of the entire funds they managed to save, shows or showed how committed she was to see that their wedding takes place, but unfortunately, the man gambled the money away, what could be more heart breaking than this?
whoosh, i didn't expect that woman to pin her future hopes on a man like that, i'm sure that man actually never had any intention of marrying that woman, he just wanted her money, that man was really stupid, he's not a responsible gambler.  i will never touch my savings for gambling capital, the more i insist on "always using money that you can lose" when gambling if you remain stupid then, of course, you will cut off your relationship with the people you care about.  Don't fall into the trap of thinking that the money you bet in gambling can give you big profits in a short time, it's never that easy.
596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is my plan. on: October 25, 2023, 10:36:49 PM
Cold storage is better or use Electrum multisig wallet if you have two devices.

You can DCA bitcoin now when the price is low. You will see profit by 2024/2025. But if you see the price decreasing, do not sell for you not to sell at loss and for you not to regret that you sell because the price of bitcoin is going to increase and get the ATH.
i have seen many predictions that the price of bitcoin will reach $100k ++ in late 2024 to 2025, for people who really have the intention of investing in bitcoin in the long term, it is recommended to use the DCA and buying dip method (both are the best strategies for investing in bitcoin today) in investing in bitcoin, don't sell the existing bitcoin you have even though the market is bearish which will definitely happen quite often, sell bitcoin with your own price target, and be sure that bitcoin will pass its ATH sometime in the future.
597  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What Reward for a Trading Mentor on: October 25, 2023, 09:06:11 PM
That is what a mentor is. Just treat it like your grade school teacher, so don't blame your mentor if something you do later on will disappoint you or fail you.
The mentor will just guide you, so most of actions must come from you, you need to work for it.
That is where the value of a mentor shines through, the majority of those that want to learn how to trade are like chickens running around without a fixed direction, and that is why it takes them so long to actually get anywhere, a mentor can guide their student to avoid most of those mistakes and help them move in the right direction, so if learning how to trade could have taken you years, your mentor can reduce that amount of time to a single year.
a mentor who can guide you well and patiently during your education in trading is much more valuable than gold, he makes you shorten the time of learning to trade appropriately so giving him a gift must not be done carelessly, you must know what is really important to him.  but usually men really like watches, or shoes, you might be able to look for an expensive watch or nice shoes that suit him, don't be stingy with people who have made a big contribution to you.

This is the reality for many people, it is what it is. I guess if you don’t like it then change career or go back to school. Take control of what you can control, there is no point moaning about something & then doing nothing about it. There will always be somebody to do those type of jobs so if you don’t like it, get up off your ass & better yourself.
The points you give are very correct here, it cannot be denied that in jobs that we don't like, there will always be someone who replaces us to do it, yes, that's very natural, so don't ever complain about whatever job you are currently doing.  Since we started school, we have been prepared to choose whatever we want, therefore when we grow up, we must be able to choose a job that is suitable for us, we can't do anything after we grow up and can only regret all the decisions we have made at the beginning.
599  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 23, 2023, 07:08:12 PM
...... all we can do now is to ensure that our bitcoin accumulation portfolio is well positioned towards the next bullrun if we have the ability to wait and hodl till that time comes in.
But I am a little calmer because I buy more BTC at a price of less than $ 27K, DCA that I do I do almost every week so I think I feel better today because BTC moves fast up to $ 31k, to wait for the best price to continue My DCA, waiting for BTC to be corrected first, if I fear today to buy at the current price it is less beautiful.

Understand DCA correctly, and use the strategy well so that your portfoliomy can smile broadly when Bitcoin has increased significantly, I would have most people smiled broadly because of their portfolio, it should be remembered that the longer you hold BTC, the more likely you get The advantage of the investment you make from BTC, don't be easily tempted by this simple increase then you sell your BTC, I think it's a stupid decision, there are still many surprising with BTC. Hold Your BTC Sir.
when the bitcoin market is sideway or the bitcoin market is bullish then buying bitcoin using the DCA method is the most recommended thing, apart from that i also tried several other strategies such as buying more portions of bitcoin (in fine words if the market is bullish i buy 1 but if the market bearish i buy 2) when the market was heading towards bear.  However, it must still be emphasized, in order to prevent you from selling Bitcoin which you intend for long-term investment, you must have a stable income that supports your finances every month... surely we will all smile with our portfolio if we remain disciplined in implementing effective strategies in investing bitcoin.

Take it or leave it, some part of me still want to make free money from gambling, even when I don't gamble every day, and while I am a very cautious gambler.

Some people are trying to hide behind the cotton, stating that they are gambling for the fun of it, I will like to ask them this question if I can get them to answer.

Is there any spirit of good will when you intentionally give your money away in order to just have a good time gambling?

Because taking money away from gambling simply makes the game not worth playing.

Will you still participate if money is not involved? Many people will easily quit if all casinos are to be turned into no-money games, isn't it?

Money is still the real reasons why we gamble, been addicted or not, mutual greed or not, all gambling is done to make more money or get some form of reward in the end.

People's intentions in general are to gamble to make more money (usually those who still have just enough finances) but it cannot be denied that there are also some people who gamble just to have fun, they don't care about the money they spend when gambling, they want to boost their adrenaline and that has become their need.  if you go around large offline casinos, you will see many rich people whose income is very stable, gambling just for fun.  the conclusion that i can say is that everyone's reasons for gambling are different, and cannot be classified as one reason.
