Discipline. You can be the luckiest or the most skillful mofo on the gambling table, but if you don't have the discipline that it takes to save your money and your winnings from dragged out games and avoidable losses, you're still going to lose the money that you gained in the process. I've seen people be so lucky, this especially happens in sweepstakes. They earn horrendous amounts of money and in a few short years they lose it all out on bitches, booze, and drugs. And for what? Cause they thought that the money's not going to end, and even if they lose it all, they're under the impression that they are so lucky that they could win it a second time around, which couldn't be farther from the truth.

Have either luck or skill and earn your keep, but focus on discipline more than anything. that's what's going to save you in the future.

Not so much as to set up charity drives, as in my country this is taken negatively in some places (people would think you're either doing too much for someone who doesn't have ulterior motives, or you're doing some form of name clearing before you run for a post in the local elections). So to avoid shit like these in situations when I feel like giving back to the people in one way or another, I just go out there and treat the whole neighborhood to something, if that couldn't be possible due to logistics and time constraints, I instead just give alms to people in the street as I drive somewhere.

There's plenty of choices for you to actually do this kind of stuff if you feel like it, besides donating and giving back to the community in a structured manner. It's all up to you how you'd execute it.

The clause that talks about your disgraceful or dishonorable life is a little tongue in cheek if I do say so myself. First off, it's a little convoluted. You don't really have exact and final grounds to decide whether someone's lived a "disgraceful" life. For all we know first generation Chinese parents could literally disown their kids if they chose a different course or college program than medicine or business lol. Another would be the fact that this is their money, and they wouldn't be jailed since technically, they are not disowning you. You're probably still going to receive their stipends and support while you still live, but don't expect to receive any when they die is what this clause means.

How do you solve this? Well perhaps just be on their good side for a while, it's obvious that they have a problem with your gambling habits, no matter how "disciplined" you are. Quit it for a while and do some other worthwhile things and show it to them. If things play out right you're getting your name back on the will, if it doesn't. Well at the very least you know for sure you're not chained to your gambling impulses.

Pretty sure that's what they meant but whatever, these countries have been going on since the antiquity only to be conquered under a single banner, and then from there be emancipated once again, just like what happened to Turkey which was once a nomadic state before being fought over by the Seljuk and the Ottoman empire, so the validity of this chart at some point is still high. In any case, this pretty much shows how cyclical the power is when it comes to these countries. US for one have been in the top of the game for decades with historic lows every now and again. China has been steadily increasing in GDP but with what's going on in their internal economy I doubt they could hold this setup for long.

Which is why I always go out of my way to let people know about what bitcoin and crypto is, whenever they are interested. It's not much to me, it wouldn't take a hot minute of my time anyway, but those few nuggets of knowledge that they would gain from what I tell them, would literally shield them from years of hacking and scam attacks. And I'm not one for theatrics and dramatic effects but it does make me feel good every time I know that I helped someone out there.

So to the people in this forum that already made something for themselves, I implore you to actually be a little more proactive about telling the newbies about what crypto is, or at least those that show interest in crypto. You wouldn't know how much of a help you could be by just being generous with the knowledge you share.

So long as it keeps making them money, there's no such thing as them getting tired of trading. Gambling for a fact isn't even a money-making venture and we see people gambling for days on end just for the sake of it, what more could it be if you're guaranteed to some degree that you're going to make money out of the venture you're in? That's just it basically. Trading is ingrained in the industry and into the people who built this cryptocurrency world from the ground up that removing the concept from crypto would equate to you pulling the lifeblood out of this enterprise.

Trading's going to stay here for better or for worse, and so are the people who trade crypto. That's just the way it is.

It has been used in the past to entice people into crypto, a lot of projects in the past leveraged the cryptocurrency bull run to gain more users and entice them into their project. Personally you could also use this as a leverage to use affiliate programs and then gain money from it, just like what most small-time crypto users did back in 2020 (it was way profitable apparently with some of them profiting upwards of 100 bucks per day doing nothing but making sure that their downlines are doing their job). So yeah, just make sure that you're working only with legitimate projects and programs so as to not taint your reputation amongst your friends and those you would invite, and keep sending those referrals away.

Honestly, if I were the family members of this young guy, I'd literally disown the guy right there and then, or perhaps if I'm feeling a little remorseful, throw him in a rehabilitation center so he can get himself checked and recover if still possible. Most addictions are brought about by the compulsion and the access to such compulsions anyway so if we literally have them locked up so they can't do what they want to, they're sure to recover. Now if things go south and it really came to the point that even rehabilitation is a lost cause, I won't go out of the way to embarass myself or my relatives and would actually just disown them, it's way easier than that, completely absolves me of every other crime that this person's going to commit as well, of course I'm going to have him be investigated by the police or something along those lines just to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.

When you're poor, you can't buy what you want and what you need. When you reach middle-class income levels, you are now able to afford what you need, and what you want. Once you get rich and are able to buy what you want, what you need, and some more, that's when you're able to buy stuff that you think you want, but not really. We can't hate people for wanting the finest things in life, we at some point wanted to fly in first-class too, or perhaps that wine bottle worth more than the dinner bill you paid for. It's all about being able to afford it.

Trust me, no matter how financially adept you are you're liable to buy expensive shit as well when you have the money. I used to say to myself that I won't buy over-the-top stuff when I get rich, only things that I need and some that I want, eventually when I got the capability thanks to crypto I find myself spending money on stuff that are considered luxury by many. And I think that's okay. You can't take your money to your grave, so might as well spend it while you're alive.

While saddening, I don't think you should be disheartened, Pension shouldn't be something that you'd rely upon for future investments, since it's only meant for spending when you actually retire, and while it must suck that your money now is worth peanuts compared to way back then, there are still ways for you to actually make something out of this.Not sure about how Nigerian Pensions are but are you able to cash this ahead of time? If so, then perhaps you could convert this into bitcoin and start your journey from here, it's still possible you know, something could still be done out of this situation especially since we're slowly moving towards yet another bull cycle, if things go well you could ride the wave and actually earn dividends, as if you won millions once again. Idk man, just food for thought.

No way they'd be banning end to end encryption for cryptocurrencies, all because of the MiCA agreement. They've already established a common regulatory ground where they allow themselves to safely regulate cryptocurrencies and projects at the same time, while allowing the industry to flourish within the region. To ban end-to-end encryption even for cryptocurrency is a clear violation of this agreement and will become one of the biggest players in the state of crypto within the European Region. Pretty sure they're just banning ETEE to some degree so as to not cause hackers and other falsifiers to use it for their personal gain, which is a good thing. Also read the articles and it doesn't say there that they would explicitly ban cryptocurrency-based cryptography, only those that are used for identification purposes, I think you're contextualizing this too much?

Common scam measure done by people who wish to scam people out of what was left of their money. They basically bank on the desperation and utter despair that these scammed people feel in order to make money out of them. Saw a lot of these shit from bitcoin revoveries to even spells and curses that would bring your estranged lover/spouse back to you (LOL). Of course, you would best believe these shit to not be true especially since most of them have nothing to prove for themselves other than their grammatically incorrect messages and scammy formats.

Time to move to Turkiye I guess lol.

Kidding aside, I don't blame your country for having a cloudy vision of what bitcoin is, hence the banning and the illegalization. For one, smear campaigns have run their course outside the crypto industry, and with the advent of retards like SBF ruining the reputation of crypto for their personal gain, there's a lot of reasons why your country would hate on bitcoin and crypto. Could it also be possible that they are pushing for something that could lead to the legalization of bitcoin in your country anyway? That happened in the Philippines you know. I think you really just need time and patience, some of these countries are still wrapping their heads around the concept of crypto, and from a legal standpoint many cryptocurrencies are a little hard to figure out, give it time my friend, pretty sure things will fall into place just as how it did with Turkiye.

Of course it’s gonna come from someone named Pi Network lol.

What would you rather have these people do? Sell all their shit at the first sight of a price increase? This isn’t your local flea market where everything’s a bargain, people are in here to maximize their profits and it’s up to them to hold for as long as they want to. Besides, when it comes to bitcoin even if you’re at a “loss”, as long as you don’t sell your shit you’re pretty much saved by the next upcoming bull run. Which is also why there are effective whales in this industry and why it’s trillion dollars in market cap.

Perhaps you should get over your head and actually look for cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, that Pi Network copium’s getting to your brain I can smell it.

It’s not just about it being a very flawed and at times clunky invention, it’s about how so many people puts bitcoin at its extremes without understanding how it actually could ruin the reputation of this cryptocurrency. We see people on one end of the spectrum, fanaticizing bitcoin, acting as if it’s the second coming of Jesus Christ when it has been nothing but a good store of value and a payment/remittance system for millions of people. This paints the impression that bitcoin is great and there’s no downsides to it, which fools unwitting newbies into investing despite the risks and drawbacks.

On the other hand we see people supposing bitcoin as yet another ponzi scheme whwn it has proven itself time and time again that it was not. They spread FUD and negativity all cause they couldn’t land a sweet deal in the crypto world lol. These types of people are those that really affect bitcoin for the worst in my opinion. Not thebhigh fees, not the inherent flaws that come with this currency, not anything.

I’ve used it in the past but I just feel more comfortable using other cryptocurrencies instead of bitcoin. Bitcoin as we all know gives so much dividends if you know how to take care of it and I always make it a point to separate my investments with my leisure, and oftentimes when I use bitcoin I find myself feeling like I blur the line between my money for investments, and for funsies, plus itMs just no fun betting on a currency that is volatile and insecure at times as bitcoin. So I changed my ways and have since used only USDT to bet on games, I found it the most effective, as I could also see how much my earnings accumulate when I gamble.

It’s less about being a good gambler and more about actually taking the time to understand the concepts that revolve around trading. While you may believe that “trading is just gambling with extra steps”, there are still concepts beyond a gambler’s grasp that sets the former from the latter apart. For example, there’s no such thing as shorting on a game, and yet this is commonplace in the trading world.

If you want to be a good gambler, be responsible and know which games you want to stick with for the rest of your journey. If you want to be a great trader, learn the fundamentals and study how the market works. Don’t go thinking that just cause you learned the other thing, you’d have the knowledge to carry on with the other. This is not driving where you can just learn about stick shift and then immediately understand how automatic cars work

I think so yeah, but they probably do no bet for the money, perhaps kust for the hell of it. Might even be the case thatcthey bet in their own company using a pseudonymous name just so they can check and micro manage every feature and perk that they want to offer. It has happened in the past at least. It could also be the case where notable figures play in their casino and to keep them company the owner sits with them on the same table to make acquaintances and socialize, although this is primarily reserved for land-based casinos only. Either way owners betting on their own casinos isn’t so much as a far-fetched idea per se.

No results and evidences to show for yourself? I think this is yet another scam scheme. I’m sorry and I do wish this was real but as it stands today we don’t see the need for a faster way to make bets in one hand, especially since bookies are quick to accept and set the odds themselves nowadays anyway, and just cause there’s no real evidence for you to prove that what you’re saying is real.

We have no idea who you really are, you popped into this forum proposing a rather interesting business model but no testimonials att he very least, people here have been scammed countless times already and they’re not about to become victims again. So etiher come back and edit this with all proper evidences and proof that what you say is indeed true, or try your luck somewhere else friend.

I think it’s not so much as that but more as a distinction that this always happens with third world countries. For instance this also happens in the Philippines. Not to mistake it for the notion that rich countries are allowed to splurge their money on gambling.

And while you are right about the people finding ways for them to gamble despite band and barring, restrictions are still pretty much effective as it disallows the common joe to just have free access to gambling sites as they would if there was no ban. For sure these countries know about VPN but they would rather deal with people who are like that than do nothingvand subjrct the fountry to massive gambling crises.
