Luxury lifestyle seems to be one of the popular discussion and what if the world continues like this when people buy what they don’t need unnecessarily just because they desire such property, what will happen to the economy because in such situation only few people will benefit and they’re the owners not the buyers, it looks like spending your money unnecessarily for the benefit of others meanwhile the product might fade within a long period of time or new invention and then the shop owner will gain not the buyer. Although despite all this, not everyone will behave in such manner and I’m convince people who live luxurious lifestyle are just the wealthy men.

I believe people just personally choose not to gamble and if religion could affect gambling choice I think just few number of people will gamble. I don’t think my religion will go against gambling sooner or later but if that should happen definitely I will quit gambling but, seeing this topic reminds me of the Islamic religion going against gambling and yet do they still engage in gambling cause it’s kind of complicated if a gambler should stop gambling because the religion is against gambling.

There are times when acting aggressively when prices fall by 10% or when we get additional income.
On the one hand, cash flow must be stable without becoming a burden when we make aggressive purchases.

The thing is that in as much as someone or rather an investor is rich doesn't mean that they cannot run into trouble if they are investing aggressively, however even if the price drops 10% is not actually a good reason to accumulate aggressively but instead you can possibly adjust your DCA accumulation were by if you normally accumulate a certain amount of Bitcoin on a weekly basis and it happen that your source of income has increased you could possibly increase your accumulation amounts that will be well suitable for you.

Though I no that most investors have there way or perspective they feel they can take advantage or facilitate there investment on Bitcoin but it will be very bad that they will get overwhelmed and invest all they have without realizing that in as much as long term holding doesn't really involved risk but aggressive investment could be regarded as one of the risk or barrier that could have a negative effect on there investment plan.

I Don't agree with your concept of aggressiveness, I don't think aggressiveness refers to investing into bitcoin with all you have or like some crazy investor that is throwing all his cash or savings into bitcoin, IMO it's more like investing not less than you should and at same time not less than you should, i can't really put the definition in words since I myself am still trying to grable thigns well.

Let's assume I have a toral of 200$ left as my disposable income after doing all my cashflow and deducted or removed my expenses, and I decide to invest 150$ of that into bitcoin that can be me beign aggressive or let's assume another person earning up to 4000$ and after removing his expenses as a bachelor has a 2000$ left as his discretionary income, normally we should keep in mind that we have to invest from here, kero float and also keep some reserves for later, he can decide to invest a whole 1k or 1200$ into bitcoin and keep halve as floats and the rest as reserves and if he ends up not using his floats or all then he can decide what to do with the rest.

I can't really find a way to explain my understanding of aggressiveness with words, but I think if investing in bitcoin is a priority or something that you desire to or want to achieve then that way you would want to give a sizable percentage of your disposable income to it or even all, that is my best way to explain what I understand by being aggressive and if aggressiveness is practiced rightly then you have no worri about it beign risk, they is a balance and that is finding what you are comfortable with.
Buying aggressively depends on an investor choice , buying beyond your capacity just to meetup can be considered as buying aggressive. Aggressive buying can be risky individually because every investor have their different ways of planning before buying, we can’t just judge in term of  aggressive buying being so risky. Aggressive buying can work for Mr A meanwhile Mr B is not getting it right, basically because Mr A will settle every necessary needs and set aside every funds to back up the investment before going ahead to buy while Mr B can decide to skip the planning process just to meetup and buy with everything. Most times, whenever there’s a decline we investors consider the price fall as an opportunity to buy and hold definitely it’s the right time to accumulate but, accumulating should not go beyond our discretionary income as mistakes can happen during times like this. Aggressive buying can be practice buy anyone but all depends on the available funds for accumulating.

It’s always advisable a gambler set time and day for gambling not always, although not all gamblers will love to control their gambling habit in such manner and it’s rare seeing such discipline coming from a gambler. I personally don’t gamble during the evening but, I don’t have any limit gambling any day. It’s obvious most people work all day and it’s not advisable gambling during work time so people like this can always set free days for gambling.

Buying the dip is not trading; even though you are accumulating bitcoin for the long term, there is nothing wrong with buying bitcoin in a dip because it will help you accumulate bitcoin at a low price. But since you are a newbie, it is not advisable for you to adopt buying the dip so you will not try to time the market and get delayed in your bitcoin accumulation journey. You can stick with the DCA strategy so that you can accumulate bitcoin either weekly or monthly, even though bitcoin is increasing or decreasing. The DCA strategy will also help you control your emotions.
When investing we must invest in long term plans. Maybe trading can be sold with small profit but those who invest always risk more money and they hold their investment for longer period of time for more profit. So far those who have held onto their investments for a long period of time have not had much of an investment failure. Especially if you consider the latest investment case where Bitcoin broke all of its past records and reached record highs at which time at least no investor was out of profit. Bitcoin price has touched a high this year and so far the Bitcoin price has been hovering near record highs, but those who invested in it are definitely seeing substantial profits this time around. 
After the market touched the highs, it went lower for a few days and the market settled around $55K at this time many thought of investing but those who invested from within are definitely seeing substantial profits now. 

Those of us who invest if we think too much about investing and what will happen or not why we invest so much if we don't invest then we won't invest. Because overthinking the investment will only lag behind, but if you can invest with risk, then if you are patient, you can definitely get a substantial amount of profit from that investment.
I think you’re mistaking both words holding and trading, selling in small profit is considered as risk from my understanding cause an investor who always want to sell in any little profit will definitely miss their plans along their journey and will end up not buying within the previous price range, trading is not even advisable so if you’re considering trading as quick earn and risk free you should change your impression. Holding bitcoin for long run is actually risk free because you’ll get the time you want without overdoing except such investor doesn’t know what bitcoin investment is all about that’s when an investor can go astray with planning but, no investor will want to risk their money investing in bitcoin without a proper planning so when your planning is in order the investment is safe. An investment is considered a long term investment within 4-10 or even beyond the cycle, people do invest and invest as long as they’re comfortable going further without stress. I find it difficult understanding the last paragraph because no one should invest with fear or being in a haste to meetup a set amount, all this can be classified as trading because they’re the ones who always look at bitcoin price movement when investing.

Manchester City won their last match as well as Arsenal won their last match of the season but Manchester City's win was not good for Arsenal at all because of this win Manchester City won the title again this season. Arsenal lost the title every season to Manchester City at the end of the season. But I must praise Arsenal's performance this season because the performance they have shown this season and the way they have competed until the last match is undoubtedly commendable. This season Arsenal tried their best and they created many chances but for some reason they could not secure the title. Hope they will try again next season and they will be successful next season.  

Congratulations to Manchester City for another season of title wins.
Real no doubt Arsenal performance this season is perfect and I never expected this performance because of their previous performance last season but I guess Arsenal can still do better. Big congrats to Manchester City for winning the title again, it’s amazing watching how they played endless and all thanks to Pep Guardiola an amazing coach. I love how Pep Guardiola stand up for city and their action each match day, although I wanted to see other team win the title but unfortunately Arsenal couldn’t but, no hope is lost because Arsenal had their two best season winning the title maybe something different can still happen.

Not everyone can afford to invest in BTC, due to lack of capital 

There is an important distinction related to the point that you seem to be wanting to make, which seems to be that you are missing some nuance in regards to what makes a person able or unable to invest.

There is some correctness that if a person lacks capital, then he may well not be able to invest into bitcoin or anything else, yet the more important point would be that a person's ability to invest in bitcoin or anything else relates to the extent to which he has discretionary income.   

So in that sense there is no requirement that anyone has any capital at all in order to invest into bitcoin, and so the main requirement is that a person has discretionary income - and sure, a person who has a lot of capital may well be able to invest into bitcoin by moving his capital from certain kinds of assets into bitcoin, so there could be exceptions to any proclamation - even though we already know that it is not required to have any capital to invest into bitcoin so long as you have discretionary, even though having capital could be another way to establish an investment into bitcoin.

but at least if you want and want to why not, and I agree with what you said about the DCA method which is intended for these people.

So are you admitting that there is no need for capital to invest into bitcoin?

But isn't it better to collect money first for some people who are unlucky or whose jobs are below minimum wage.

With something like bitcoin, many times it is better to get started as soon as possible, especially once you have figured out that you have discretionary income.   

Now you might have a lot of messiness in your cashflows and your psychology, so you may well need to get some of those things in order, yet I would not presume that it mis necessary to get your finances and psychology in order prior to getting started in your investment into bitcoin, unless your situation happens to be so bad that you are not even able to figure out with any level of confidence whether you actually have discretionary income or not. 

Even though a large number of people might have a lot of complications in their finances and perhaps even lacking in their abilities to manage their finances very well.  Most likely an overwhelming number of folks should be able to tell you wether they have $100 per week or maybe $10 per week that they would be able to spare or throw away (meaning that it is extra and not needed to cover their expenses).    When folks have really small amounts of extra income and a lot of disorganization in their finances, it is likely more important that they start out more slowly and that they also spend time getting their shit figured out, but that still may well not justify waiting rather than getting started right away with some small amount of discretionary income that can be figured out. 

If there is no way to establish the existence of discretionary income, then those people need to make sure that they have discretionary income before they can start to invest into bitcoin.

Because if they try to invest even if it's only a little bit of what they can afford, wouldn't it hamper their finances more

Yes... if they have figured out that they actually do not have discretionary, then the should not be investing into bitcoin, because if they were to do that they would be gambling rather than investing.  They need to be able to put the money into bitcoin and have a certain level of confidence that they are not going to need such money for 4-10 years or longer and also understand the risk that the amount that they put in could go to zero (meaning they could lose up to 100% of the amount that they put into bitcoin, so they have to be ready, willing and able to accept that possibility, and if they are not able to do that, then their finances and psychology is not ready to invest into bitcoin).

, and would it be more risky for their own lives, because investing is not far from the risks they will face. Isn't it better to be slow but sure to minimize something that is not wanted?

No it is not better to be slow.  It is better to figure your shit out, and either you have disposable income or not.  If you have disposable income, then it is better to get started investing into bitcoin as soon as possible and figure out some kind of a system. 

Otherwise, if you figured out that you either do not have disposable income, then you should realize that you are not able to invest into bitcoin until you are sure that you have disposable income and then you can ONLY invest into bitcoin up to 100% of the amount of your disposable income, but if you are not sure if you have disposable income then you cannot invest into bitcoin.  I would not call that waiting, but instead you either have disposable income or you do not, and if you do not have it you cannot (or should not) be investing into bitcoin, and if you are not sure if you have disposable income or not, then you are likely in the same situation of not having it.. because you need to be clear that you actually have disposable income in order to invest into bitcoin, otherwise you are gambling and not investing.


It is very clear that one's inability to invest in bitcoin or whatever it is that is prioritized is capital. Because there are constraints with one's inability to invest. The inability is based on his job. Very different from people who are capable because basically people who are capable because there is the ability and there are no obstacles to investing. it is very clear what you say the main requirement is additional income, but if in the position of someone who works only in one job with a salary below the minimum wage. And there is no additional income, will it be very inhibiting to start as soon as possible and not collect money first.

For some people there may be those who invest without capital, but for others or most people the main requirement is capital, on the contrary I have not found people who invest without capital, in my opinion, I do not agree with the absence of capital, because the slightest thing, the will or desire of a person can be said to be capital, to be confident.

If a person is only focused on one job, and there is no additional income or perhaps additional income each country is different. If for example there is additional income and each country is different from the additional income, is it possible to start as soon as possible, it will be very risky, and in my opinion if we start investing in BTC by starting 1 year or maybe 3 years to come, I think it's a good decision too, because seeing from the first BTC came out and until now it is still stable.
Collecting money at first as you mentioned will only ruin your investment cause at that early stage of investment you should not bother about profit for needs or making quick money rather you should build your investment gradually even if it takes time not minding the time duration. Bitcoin investment gives room for long term planning so an investor who find it difficult can still plan and invest. Just a quick question, how sure can you tell if bitcoin price will remain in a stable range for the next 2 or 3 years, honestly speaking the best time to buy bitcoin is now so you should take the opportunity and invest. The mistake most people get when it comes to capital and investment mostly bitcoin investment is just simple, it’s never a must to start with huge amount at first or generally, you just need to start with what you have at the moment and gradually you’ll make progress as time goes on.
71  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My decision on bitcoin on: May 15, 2024, 08:44:53 PM
I recently created a post asking if I should buy bitcoin now or wait for the dip, and majority of the response I got from the post, advised that I should buy now rather than waiting for the dip due to its volatile nature, and I'm satisfied with this response and I'm willing to bear the risk.
Reason for all these questioning, I have a dream of becoming a long term bitcoin holder but, dreams aren't achieved with words alone, an action is needed for the start up, so I have decided to sell one of my less used phone for the purpose of buying bitcoin.
I'm really eager to purchase my first bitcoin in satoshi.
When you invest in Bitcoin investment is up to you, but if you invest in the right market and hold that investment for the long term, your chances of profit will definitely be high. If you don't want to invest right now, you can certainly wait for a big dumping market. Moreover, you can take another plan, in which case you can divide your investment into different percentages and invest in DCA method, in which case you invest in different markets, at different prices.
The part you mentioned an investor should wait for the dump which is referred as price decline is actually not right from my understanding, what’s the point waiting when anyone can start their investment using the right strategy and still acquire bitcoin knowledge at the same time. The only point about the dip it allows an investor to accumulate more but, waiting is not advisable mostly for newly investors. Right market sometimes doesn’t matter cause you might be missing out just by waiting for a right market.

Imo i believe the optimum allocation is subjective based on individuals income, country, goal, and attitude towards risk.
The DCA amount allocated for the month
I guess doesn't have to be once a month but could be spread across the days in a month especially during a correction or dip.
One of the benefits of accumulating bitcoin with the DCA strategy is to control your emotions, and your idea of accumulating bitcoin with the DCA strategy cannot help investors control their emotions because they are interested in timing the market to buy the dip. Anytime they accumulate bitcoin and there is a little dip, they will regret buying bitcoin at the wrong time. The DCA strategy should be done in such a way that we set out a particular date to accumulate Bitcoin monthly. For instance, we can set out to accumulate bitcoin every 5th of the new month since monthly salaries are paid at the end of each month, and sometimes it might be delayed. And when the date comes, we can accumulate bitcoin even though the price is increasing or decreasing.
When people mention emotions, honestly speaking I don’t understand the emotion attach to bitcoin investment or are they’re referring to bitcoin price movement which is not suppose to be a problem rather an opportunity for investors to accumulate bitcoin. Concerning the market dip, anyone can use any strategy their finance can withstand but it’s best an investor invest rather than waiting for the dip mostly newbies who have not gotten much should not wait but start as soon as possible.


Buy with spare funds and hide the balance
It would shock you one day the amount you would find there when you go finally check.
maybe we can make a little adjustments to this statement and rather say, Buy with the right amount of funds and take your eyes off it. the concept of buying with your spare funds will tend yo suggest that you have to nake all the expenses that you have and then whatever is left will go into investing into Bitcoin. You can't really do too well in your accumilation journey if you buy your Bitcoin with such kind of idea.


You don’t invest with spare money, it sound as a disrespect or lack of trust from my view cause when referring something as spare it’s considered as a leftover or not so important but rather you invest with your satisfied amount for example, each time I receive my monthly pay I make sure bitcoin budget is involve cause bitcoin investment is so valuable so I can’t afford to miss the date set for accumulating sometimes I use my monthly bonus to accumulate cause I know I can hold for long and still plan ahead, if you’re referring your accumulating money as a spare amount you’re actually trying to say you can miss the date set cause what if there’s no spare money during that month.

You are getting it all wrong because reducing your accumulation amounts if you are having some financial challenges can never lead you into giving up an investment because if the the source of income is low and the needs are a little bit high cutting down a bit of your accumulation will actually allow you to balance, however on the contrary your narrative on or rather your mindset could lead you into trouble on your investment if you are not able to Identify when the need to adjust your accumulation amounts arises, however if I may ask for instance your normal weekly accumulation is $20 while your monthly salary is $100 but on the process your salary drops to $60 on a monthly basis and your needs has increase would you reduce your accumulation amounts to either $5 or $10 weekly? Or would you continue with your normal $20 weekly?, because for me at this points $20 weekly is actually being aggressive and could get you into trouble.

t's okay to adjust your investment strategy as your circumstances change. The goal is to prioritize your well-being while still building a secure financial future. Meanwhile it may sound easy for old investors while new investors find it very challenging, and they do not the right approach during such situation. If an investor new or old is using dca as his investment strategy then it is quite simple here, since dca involves investing a particular percentage, what we should do is to calculate the right percentage based on the new income rate so that there will be still balance in the investment and other necessary things.

Also, at this point if the investor was buying aggressively or was diversifying into other assets he needs to stop for some time, the criteria should be finding a way to come back up with enough money which means it is good he channel the money into other business or something that would give him more money so that he would go back to the way things were or more.
Basically the reason why it’s best to adjust is because we want the best for our bitcoin investment, the reason why I mentioned investment is because if an investor refuse to adjust for awhile when facing challenges the investor might end up finishing their emergency funds which is not advisable and when there’s no room for adjustment I believe the investor will go for his reserve and other funds which make their accumulation go smoothly and will end up withdrawing his bitcoin investment so quickly because there’s no sufficient money to balance their needs. I’m just creating an example so at this point the investor will be tag as a greedy investor who loss at end. Sometimes I reason generally, people chase after big things and end up losing it so quickly, why not adjust for awhile till when there’s a better source of income cause I’m sure adjusting using a different amount can still build a good portfolio if only the investor continues without missing the date set for accumulating. Secondly if we adjust due to challenges, we can still increase after everything and sometimes we end up earning higher and increase far beyond previous amount. What I understood by buying aggressive and I practice is it takes gradual process not just going all into at once, I will definitely increase my accumulation amount as time goes on at my comfortable zone cause there’s no law that state dca strategy must go with a fixed amount rather you can increase anytime you have the amount.
74  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 13, 2024, 08:50:05 PM
Levels of aggressiveness should not be measured in absolute terms, but instead within the amount of discretionary income that you have, and so yeah a person with higher income could buy more BTC but that does not necessarily make him more aggressive than someone with lower income and who might be using all of his discretionary income to buy BTC.  Maybe we can take some extreme examples.

One guy has $100 per month of discretionary income and he uses all of it to buy BTC.. This guy is quite aggressive and maybe even bordering on over aggressiveness (especially if he miscalculates his expenses or if he does not have reserves in place).

Another guy has $2k per month of discretionary income and he invests around $100 per week into bitcoin, which might be considered moderate and maybe even whimpy.
Of course it is true that someone can increase purchases aggressively when their finances increase from the income they earn. I think everyone has an uncertain income in their job like a monthly bonus from where they work. so their routine of executing $10 per week can certainly change to be more aggressive such as increasing it to $50.

I even often do this where when my finances improve from average or get a bonus, of course I can increase to be more aggressive in the next purchase. So, if income is relatively stable, of course we will return to the initial planning by executing at the usual level that we have done.

Without realizing it, over a long period of time, our BTC holdings increased faster than the initial plan because at each stage we could act aggressively or continue to try to increase the amount of purchases to become larger.
This comprises the investment journey of an average investor. I feel that only the rich are comfortably being aggressive in their investment and not everyone has an uncertain income in their job. There are investors that has a fixed income for a long time and by so doing they only stick to buying through DCA.


That may be true, but honestly I don't think it's right to say that rich people are “comfortable” being aggressive in terms of their bitcoin investment involvement, because I think no matter how rich you are if for example you treat investments that always tend to lead to aggressive actions then surely there will be at least some tension and pressure that you will most likely feel because of the fear of experiencing losses. So maybe it's more accurate to say that rich people are those who are “likely” to be able to try some aggressive actions in their investments.

In terms of income yes I agree with you that not everyone has a steady income or income in life, but it is a fact that often the problem of uncertain income is what makes investors have to experience delays, on the other hand I believe that DCA is an effective way to maximize future profits but sometimes when you are experiencing problems in terms of income in your life then it is definitely possible for you to experience delays in allocation that can interfere with something that should be done with consistency, I don't know whether or not luck of the draw plays a role here, but certainly success is more likely when you have a good, stagnant income without any problems which makes it easier to maintain your DCA strategy.

Agbamoni is right about rich people being more aggressive than the average and poor. This because, the rich has different sources of income in which one of them can serve as his emergency funds already built and he does not need to start building up an emergency funds. Also he will also have funds available at all time to enable him buy bitcoin with the three buying strategies which is the dip, regular DCA and lump sum.

You should also note that the size of your emergency funds is what will determine how aggressive you will be. This is why the rich will not feel any tension or pressure and the fear of running at loss because they know what they are investing in that they will not be selling it too soon but hodli for a long term because they know it is an investment and they understand what an investment is. They can survive without thinking of their bitcoin investment.
This is correct as wealthy investors can invest aggressively without any trouble, taking for example a lot of wealthy investors who started buying aggressively from their early investment and still managed every necessity to push the investment aggressively like the reserve, emergency funds being in order. Even if any investor will be willing to invest aggressively as other wealthy investors the investor should reason first if they’re comfortable being too aggressive mostly cause not all investor will invest same way as most of them will take time to learn and plan more before going all and even before all this they’ll have to consider their emergency funds and planning. Secondly any wealthy investor who has chosen the part to buy aggressively should be consistent as investing in bitcoin requires consistent not minding any strategy including the dca strategy also.
75  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the world know about Bitcoin? on: May 12, 2024, 11:19:26 PM
To me i think there are some part of the world that still don't know anything about Bitcoin, because there are people in USA, UK, Australia, Canada, China,etc. even in Nigeria there are people that don't know anything about Bitcoin, they always think that Bitcoin is a scam, but people that know about it are making thousand of Dollars,($) I think they don't know that we are in a digital world now.
Do you really expect everyone to know what’s bitcoin, like when talking of the world, the world is far beyond the countries you mentioned and from my view countries like Canada, USA, China are more better when it comes to  modern technology. You don’t expect much from any country like op mentioned the world that consist of billions of people, even within such large number range not all can afford a better life talk less of bitcoin awareness. Aside poverty, most people don’t associate with the internet for research and work etc, they just live a simple life nothing else. Some category of people think everything concerning the internet associated with money can serve as a scam scheme, everyone with their different opinion and decision why they don’t want bitcoin. No one should bother anyone about bitcoin from my opinion as bitcoin will grow with or without anyone opinion
76  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Bitcoin A Safe Haven Asset For Investment? on: May 12, 2024, 10:44:28 PM
I must tell you the truth there is nothing like a safe heaven. No one knows what the future would be, calling Bitcoin a safe heaven is like saying there is nothing that could possibly go wrong if we invest in Bitcoin. Investment is a risk and there is risk in investing in Bitcoin as an asset. The reason why Bitcoin is the most preferred asset that is being preached about to invest in is because it has proven itself over the years to not fail. And people who had invested in it has gotten good profit since the existence of Bitcoin.
I love the part you mentioned profit since existence but let’s be realistic, not everyone will even enjoy the benefit cause bitcoin investment is not an easy investment so an investor should not think because someone else invested and earn profit someone else can earn without understanding bitcoin investment . Aside the volatile market people get scared of what’s really the problem cause I don’t understand. When an asset is considered as a safe haven, you see demand endless, ability to regain value after an event. Inflation can’t affect bitcoin so what’s stopping bitcoin from being a valuable investment choice although no investment is risk free likewise other investment. From my opinion generally no investment is worth answering a safe haven, we can’t really tell 10 years from now what bitcoin investment will look like but, for the fact we hold and invest bitcoin remains a valuable investment.

Interesting, this kind of gamble addiction need a great loss to stop gambling, the story is totally different from other addict sharing their experience. It seems the person in question want to try the possible best to stop but the urge keep coming or the mindset of wanting more, wanting more is never guarantee as this is one of the reason people still go back and gamble hoping for a positive result rather the person is growing an improper habit whereby they can’t do without gambling wins. I experienced similar story that happened in a casino shop, when the gambler won a bet he never expected but, the amount is worth gambling. This gambler had a wrong impression gambling again with the money he won the next day, everyone watched him finish everything again. I thought about gamblers who gamble and refuse to do something meaningful with the money because this is another problem most gamblers face.

I think the biggest problem for newly established businesses is that:
a) since they're new, they are much more likely to have some bugs or things not working as they should, which makes them more prone to receiving bad feedback;

If there is a way that these new businesses can have their customer representative respond quickly to these bad reviews offer solution or alternative ways that suits the customers then, new customers with bad reviews may see that these business is actually responsive and working towards a solution. That's one way fix the bad reputation problem.


The thing is that no matter how they go about their business even if it's the smoothest way possible there are still going to be some customers who aren't satisfied and that's just human direct nature and there is nothing you can do to stop that and besides just like what dothebeats said if a bad review is dropped it can't be changed so the best they could all do is just to do everything so that the good reviews are more because some gambling new customer would definitely rely on that when approaching the casino.

If negative reviews can’t be deleted I think they can edit the review after everything, most people fail to read about the casino rules or rather they fail to understand what’s called feedback. The rate at which people just jump into conclusion without seeking the help center or report a problem privately is very wrong. I like it when businesses or website pay attention to such negative reviews cause everyone is actually watching what will be the development team next move after a negative feedback. Reviews like this will stand but, personally I also watch out for a respond.

This Manchester United team that has showed up today is playing a very impressive game such that Arsenal  has been put under pressure & limiting their attacking  chances, and if they played like this every weekend I don't think United would have been far back from the top four club's. Btw, if you ask me United look hungry to stop Arsenal from getting an easy 3 points that would push them closer to the EPL title but let's see how this goes...

Edit :

Arsenal found the back of the net, now we have a game on our hands...

Well , you're right. United had their best game in the last 2 months I would say but it was still not enough to take 1 point or even score once against Arsenal and overall , the team who had more desire to win ended up as winners. Now for Arsenal the real title race has begun and every single mistake from City or from them will basically cost the title but hopefully the title race will be going on until last game where honestly I do expect Arsenal to be crowned as champions of EPL 23/24 season.  Cool
I actually expected more from Arsenal no doubt, maybe cause Manchester United fooled throughout the season so I had no option looking down on Manchester United. Great performance from both team, Manchester United dominated excellent with countless chance and yet no goal is actually surprising. Arsenal at the other hand defended greatly making the match look tense and tough although Arsenal managed to secure 3 points against Manchester United and Everton left to face Arsenal this season. I’m rooting for Arsenal this season and I hope to see Arsenal win the title hopefully.

Self control is needed for any gambler to know they’re over gambling and they need to stop, I heard several emotional stories online about gamble addict, people taking their life just because they gambled owing debt, marriage conflict etc so I had to restructure my gambling habit, restructuring an addictive habit is so difficult that’s why I hardly blame an addict who want to change badly as all this requires gradual process. Regardless our choice being a responsible gambler, gambling is actually fun but, sometimes I feel like quitting for a while cause of the excess loss.
