701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 16, 2023, 06:24:31 PM
I have the believe that success in gambling requires a mixture of luck and skill. This is opposed to some people that believe that gambling is entirely a game of luck and others who believe it is entirely a game of skill.

So I am tempted to inquire if skill is all that is needed to be successful in gambling or luck. Whichever be the option, which of them is the most important factor for gambling success?

As a gambler the most important thing is for you to know your onion, the onion to me which means for you to know the skill that you use in Betting or placing your bet. As a gambler you must have a particular skill on how you predict your ganes, this skill is acquired as a result of overtime practice, over time trial and error, and the corrections you've made over time.
 luck is just an additional part of a gambler life, but the most important thing is your your ability or your  skill to predict.
Luck has little to play in the life of a gambler.

You are deluded and it is enough to consider one situation to realize this. Imagine that you are a professional poker player and you are having a bad day. You are dealt cards that do not allow you to get good combinations. This is random, but it is randomness that determines your luck. No matter how hard you try you can't win the game just by bluffing. So luck is an important enough component not only of gambling, but also of ordinary life.


Yes, this is something that we should really be that realizing that everything would really be that depending on luck or just really needing that little bit mix of luck when dealing with gambling.Doesnt matter if its luck based or strategic based on which it would really be still needing that touch of luck in order for you to win but of course if you are dealing with poker or some card games or with sports betting then we do really know that skills
and knowledge would really be also a contributing factor for you to be able to win up the game. It would really be increasing that kind of winning chance because you cant really just that able to win up alone on just
relying on luck.This is why we could really be able to tell on which one is really that needed or would really be that not much but in overall both things would really be important or simply
it would really be determined on which game you are really that getting involved into.

Important thing is that you do really know on how to deal up with those games that you are really that dealing into. If its really needing up some sort of analysis or not.
You cant really be able to apply some methods or strategy on games which are really that pure luck basing. You wont really be that so dumb on not to notice
those differences.
702  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: November 16, 2023, 08:41:01 AM
Actually, in my view, education is the process of forming a person's identity or mindset and our ability to form rational thinking patterns in dealing with problems. Indeed, in an era like now, education is indeed important, so our education while at school does not make us able to do everything in our daily lives successfully. but that school gives us an understanding of the thought process in everyday life in earning income, That thought process is what actually makes us successful.

There is no guarantee that with the highest achievement index or academic intelligence you will be successful, but how far can you absorb and think about the knowledge you have learned so far. In my opinion, the determining factor for success is the skills we have in working at the company.

  Sometimes one would wonder if anything come out for this school, the answer is yes and no. Yes because, without education, there are some level of mingling with people that'd be disrupted because you won't be able to blend in to their level of intelligence and understanding. Yes you may be able to communicate but there's a level of the communication you won't be able to get to with them. The answer is no because, the situation of things right now makes it so obvious that education isn't just the answer. Personally I'd advise that even in the process of acquiring educational knowledge, also acquire vocational knowledge. No one kill owls when any of these knowledges would be handy.
   Another point is, currently securing official jobs is difficult and everyone basically wants to strive to make money and be an average boss of himself. This is where business comes in, you can't start a business you don't have knowledge about. They won't give you this knowledge in the school setting, it's you as a person that'd have to go outta your way to acquire it and lay a good foundation for yourself in that field if you want to venture into it.
It doesn't dispute the fact that  education doesn't give income, whichever way, and in some cases, it does give income and in some other cases, it doesn't. So one just has to create a balance.
On one side, formal education is essential to social and intellectual mixing. Not simply academic brilliance, but exposure to other beliefs, cultures, and ideas. This exposure broadens one's horizon, enabling meaningful conversations and deeper connections. Also, consider soft talents like teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking. Isn't education nurturing these? Any social or professional engagement requires them.

But your 'no' reflects the reality many face. Vocational skills are growing essential. Think about it: they connect theory and practice. Education provides the tools, but occupational skills teach you how to use them. This method prepares for employment market uncertainty. And yes, academic knowledge alone rarely launches a successful business. It requires practical experience, market knowledge, and occasionally heavy knocks. It's about applying theory to practice to manage today's complex environment. Isn't that a more complete way to improve yourself and your career?

Yes, its not really just that like for the sake on having some degree but also having that kind of awareness in lots of things because having no exposure or even learning with the basics in life then you would really be just like looking a clown in todays society or era. We do know that there are really things which needs to be learned which could only be gained on having a degree but of course just like on the rest been saying that everything could really be learned but its not really that something recommended or suggested that you shouldnt really be taking one because having one would really be that always recommended but it will really be
just that depending on someones goals and targets.

Having more income? We cant really be that rich on just having that day job working and this is why we do really consider out on having some other source of income whether having another job or would really be building up some business or having some investment on which it is really that something that you would really be able to have that  chance on getting rich once it would really be able to succeed.
We wont really know unless we do try and this is why its never been that ideal or something that right that you should really be that easily get discourage on the time that you
would be experiencing some failures.

I verily know that I will succeed more of the inexperienced and those gamblers who doesn't have gambling budgets including those who can't take control over their gambling emotions

Beware of default!

You, being a responsible player, know that many people bet everything they have and also what they don't have in gambling, so if you are going to invest in players you need to have a good guarantee first, otherwise your investment will gradually be lost. .

I don't know if this is a good business, because generally those who need money are those who can't get good results in games and therefore will have great difficulty making a profit to be able to pay you.
On the other hand, anyone who is a good player and knows how to make a profit will hardly need an "investor".
No one can guarantee winning in gambling no matter how expert a gambler he is.  So it is very foolish to invest on any gambler.  Gambling should be used for fun only so to get the full fun of gambling you have to gamble yourself.  If a gambler intends to invest in it, it will do more harm than good. So no sane person would ever support it.  And I don't think anyone who thinks they can profit by investing in a gambler is still living in a fool's paradise.
Winning is not guaranteed as you speak and I agree to that because no matter how a gambler can be so watchful he will still lose in gamble, gambling is risky for those that do not gamble for fun but for profit making.
However, the op is still gambling in another form because borrowing money to a gambler that has lost all his or her funds in gambling is way more bigger than gambling, the gambler can not win to pay back the borrowed money because there is no guarantee in gambling.
Still on still, as the gambler have to pay back the loan with profits that is what really make it difficult for the gambler to win and pay back because he is she will put in mind that he's owing and he will want to win more money so that he can pay back the loans.
Investment might have risks but not as just severe when you are doing gambling literally. It is really just that someone who have decided to take advantage into those people who are really that having some huge losses on gambling or totally had been wrecked by it and still he is really considering them on giving out some loans? It is really just that too risky i should say because you know that they are on the situation that
have that problem when it comes to finances.If you've tried on giving them some loans on that point then most of them would surely be dealing up and agree on the % rate that you've been putting up.
If you arent that careful then you might be ending up on lending someone who arent capable on repaying those loans in time due to bankruptcy or whatsoever. You would really be needing that
in depth credit check before you can lend one on which it would really be that a common approach.
704  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you believe Technical Analysis? on: November 14, 2023, 09:56:34 PM
Everyone knows that we can learn from the past to correct mistakes.
As a result, many economists attempt to predict the future through history.

We also have a known fact from the past.
The "Bitcoin halving" is correlated with price increases.

I'd like to pose a new question here.
What are your thoughts on using past charts(candlesticks) that similar current ongoing charts(candlesticks) to make price predictions?

When asked this question to many professors and investors, a common response is, "Candlesticks reflect the psychology of investors."

What are your thoughts on this matter?

We can learn not only from wrong decisions or strategies to correct them but also from the right decisions or right strategies that we have made, of course. That means, good or bad, we have the same lesson to learn from these two.

Now, in terms of technical analysis, many people make mistakes here even after they have gone through this lesson. It is because they do not fully understand what they are studying, or they may just have a hard time getting what they are studying to convey because it is different talk when the basis is actual compared to theory.
Experience would be the best teacher indeed on which you could really be able to learn up things on both sides on which you could really be able to gain up those knowledge overtime or on the moment that you had
experienced it for yourself on which it is really just that normal that you would really be making out adjustments basing up on what you had been able to encounter. In regarding about the question whether you do believe on technical analysis then you would really be of course be finding for yourself on how relevant it would be in speaking about predicting on where prices could potentially go. There's no way that we could really be able to
tell on where prices could eventually go despite of using on different analysis which its a combination of TA+FA but it is really that still something better rather than making yourself that
making decisions without any basis.

Hovering yourself on a market without having any weapon or tools then it is really just that making yourself that look like a gambler. Diving into things
which it doesnt really give out that kind of assurance just because you have not done something relevant or something that would really be useful.
705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gambling and Invest in gambling. on: November 14, 2023, 08:54:28 PM

How do I take advantages over the gambles while I am not gambling anymore?
I tend to invest in the gambling. How?
At my visits in the gambling grounds, I will be lending my funds to the losers who has run out of  funds and willing to bet more if they have more money.
I tends to make this a deal with interest charges with concrete agreement to be secured and I will be opened to also accepting collaterals.

I verily know that I will succeed more of the inexperienced and those gamblers who doesn't have gambling budgets including those who can't take control over their gambling emotions
I don't think this pattern of investment is even safer, because as an experienced gambler that you were I supposed you know better that gambling functions mostly around luck, which means most of your clients needs to be lucky so you be profitable enough els you are definitely going to have certain issues at some point.

Those inexperienced gamblers who have no gambling budget may aswell not have tangible collateral, except you will be having a strick collateral policy els it will be a problem on the long run, especially if you clients are having a bad day they wouldn't be able to pay back instantly and will have to leave their collateral with you and may not be able to come redeem it with the money they are owing and if you go out to recover your funds by selling the collateral, sometimes it may worth less, so it just complicated and not very safe enough
Totally a risky move to be done because you do know that your funds that letting them borrowed would really be played again on the house on which means that tendency on having that a hard time on repaying will
really be your main issue but since due date is been discussed then it would really be depending on a certain gambler whether they would really be that responsible on what they had borrowed or not. Totally a risky
business i should say on which you cant really be so sure that you would really be getting paid on the right time if this gambler would really be continuing its losses. Also, how a lendor would really be
making those kind of assessment or credit check before letting them be able to take up some loan? For sure this wont really be a cheap kind of investment knowing that funding
losing gamblers would really be never be that cheap.If there would really be some solid collaterals then it would really be lessening the risks but if there's none then those agreements couldnt really be able
to make out assurance that you would really be on the safe side.
706  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not all educated are educated. on: November 14, 2023, 07:47:52 PM
Why?

This:
Bitcoin services platform Swan Bitcoin warned its customers that it would be forced to terminate accounts found interacting with crypto-mixing due to the regulatory obligations of its partner banks.

And this:

Pritzker stated that the current political climate has put a lot of fear into the banking sector, with most banks simply refusing to do business with anything in crypto. Thus, for them to continue their Bitcoin on-ramp services, their custody partner has to interact with banking services governed by FinCEN regulations.

Especially, I do not expect people can be complaining about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general that they are causing global warming.

Mixers are seen to be used for illegal activities but the money in banks are not seeing to be used for money laundering and terrorism financing. Among the most fiats used for illegal activities, only little do the government and regulators know about. If there is no bitcoin or other coins and tokens, there will be illegal activities both online and offline and their scam fiat will be used for it.
Not something new, fiat had been used with these illicit activities in the first place, it is really just that it isnt really that getting emphasized just because there's something huge behind it or someone who do really cover up and now that Bitcoin did exist then having those anonymity and decentralized aspect or features then this is the best test subject that they could really be putting up those kind of  blame on which trying out to convince
the masses that it is something that shouldnt really be dealing with just because of those so-called attached issues that they've been throwing it out. What a shame and what a shit thing that had been done.
Only true Bitcoin enthusiast or supporters would really be able to find out for those words to be shit and having no sense. Government doesnt really want for people to make out on engagement on something
that cant be controlled or monitor out and this is why they would really be loving on spreading up those false information and trying out to blind the people on what truly it is
and rather they are focusing on destroying its image and focusing into it and now its been for long years that they do keep on doing that.
707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 14, 2023, 02:57:56 PM
I think it just depends on what kind of gambling you're going to choose, if you want to gamble on bets that are really purely based on luck then yes the answer means you need full luck in that session, but the question is that anyone will never know when they will be able to get lucky and go home with a win, that's the initial problem. Another thing, if indeed you choose to gamble on some bets that really require skills such as one of them may be sports then yes obviously you must at least have some skills that are needed there, have basic analysis and knowledge of the sport you choose which indirectly it will be useful to increase your chances of winning.

But on the other hand even though these two things look separate, still in any bet basically you will really need the luck factor, because obviously for the final result will still refer to how lucky you are. So in my opinion the two things above cannot be completely separated because everything will be involved in each other to achieve quite tantalizing results.
Gambling does have different types and just like been said by most people on here is that you would really be needing skill to deal with when you are dealing with gambling type games which does really require that proper
analysis like in sports betting or even with those known card games on which these things cant really be possible if we do speak casino games which doesnt really need those things. Success in gambling is something that
very slim because this is a game of chance where everything is something that cant be known or something that could really be achievable which risky things like gambling is something that doesnt really need to have that kind of approach.

Dont think about success on the time that you do gamble because this is really just that for leisure or entertainment and not something that do talks about investment or earning money on long term.
It doesnt really fit out on the criteria and also it is really just that too risky for you to be able to deal up with long term or something that could really possibly
make you impulsive on this case.
Luck+Skill. these two things cant really be that be removed but if we do speak about main things on what we do really need
then luck would really be always the best choice or main thing we do need and this is something that cant be influenced nor be altered and does
come randomly.
708  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: November 13, 2023, 09:33:39 PM
Certainly, I don't think it is realistic now that  we are one month close to the end of the year and moreover in the history of bitcoin I have not withnessed the ATH broken just before another halving. It is now getting closer to halving and breaking the 69k ATH is looking like an insurmountable task notwithstanding that bitcoin has rallied this year and especially this last quarter of the year. Therefore, our eyes should be on the halving and the bull run that will come with it while making sure to invest before the move get started.
Everyone is waiting for the halving, although some people are also focusing on buying when there is a price correction in Bitcoin, because now there are still many people who believe that Bitcoin has the possibility of creating a new ATH after the halving occurs. That's why now there are still many people making purchases in Bitcoin before the halving occurs and hope that there will be another ATH after it happens next year, while this year I just hope that Bitcoin can continue to improve and increase slowly to $40K.
Halving event is on where are really that majority or all of people keep an eye on because this is something a main event on which it would really be able to trigger out that bull run that we've been waiting for.
It is really just that people wont really be getting tired on throwing up different numbers as we do go ahead or getting nearer. 69k for this year seems not that possible yet we are moving like rollercoaster as of this moment on which price movements arent that something that could really be read up and this is why it would really be that so hard that you would really be that sticking into that one idea and thinking up positively
that it would happen. Price would surely be pumping back which is way more than into its price considering that in every cycle there would really be always a bull run.

I do agree on some points above that we should really be that be versatile on whatever things that could happen.We dont know whether this year hitting or breaking that ATH
or would be in next year but pretty sure it would really be somewhere on Q4 2024 or somwhere on 2025 on peak of bull run. Breakouts do usually happen on that point.
709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your parent disinherit you eventhough you have not proven to be chronic gambler on: November 13, 2023, 08:11:20 PM
Your parents are very rich and they have made a will while they are still alive Your parent is disinheriting you on the ground on one of the laws in our country about disinheritance that
Quote
When a child or descendant leads a dishonorable or disgraceful life;
because of gambling but they have not proven that you are a chronic gambler and you think you are a responsible gambler.

Do you have a case here on the ground that it is not proven that you are a chronic gambler and have not lost a fortune in gambling, can you appeal this case in court to make the will invalid and get your part in the inheritance?

Here in our country, you cannot disinherit your heirs as long as the heir does not violate what's stated in the law about inheritance and they just used the quoted message as their ground.


What's your take on this and what do your country's laws say about this?

Really that hard to answer up this kind or type of question yet this would really be something that do talks about legal aspects on which im not aware on whats the set-up here in our country or the laws that
do talks about inheritances. If there are some will which does have that particular condition then there would really be things that would really be hard to be noticed or would really be caught on just like on whats been
stated on your example about being a chronic gambler, then how someone would really be able to find out that you are one? or simply they do make out some assumptions or basing with those baseless accusations?
For sure you would really be taking up a fight just to get those inheritances and also on the time that you are aware of those rules and conditions then its impossible that you wont really be stopping gambling.
We are talking about inheritances on here on which it would really be impossible that you would really be neglecting out on whatever things that needs to be.
710  Economy / Economics / Re: Being rich = not looking at price tag on: November 13, 2023, 07:52:42 PM
I often read people saying they want to earn enough money so they don't have to look at price tag of product. Imo, even if you are rich you wouldn't want to spend money on things that are not worthy of price being paid.

You wanna look at product and then it's price, if it's worthy of price, you purchase the product.
Depends on where did you get that money on which there would really be that a difference in between to those people who got rich because of extreme hard work and perseverance and discipline compared into those people who had get their riches in terms of those sudden wins in lottery, inheritances or whatsoever that do connects about easy money or simply that they hadnt been able to work hard for. Then something that do talks about spending then it would really be that something that will really be that having that behavior on trying out to buy things even if its not necessary or worthy of its price but somewhat each person does have their own taking on how they would really be gonna handling themselves if they are really that on such condition or status.

Just like on what you have said that its impossible that you would really be just simply buying things without having trying to look at on whats its usage or benefits.
Even rich people wont really be having that kind of careless purchase on something yet we know that money isnt something that could be having forever and if you are really that careless enough on
things on your spending then dont wait up for the situation that you would be experience some shortage or talking about bankruptcy on which we know that money
could really be that easily be spent up.
711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? on: November 13, 2023, 07:14:28 PM
~snip~
Yes it should be like that, they can take your advice but on the other hand it is still a question of what they will do when they see the fact that their losses are much bigger, still in the end this is a big question, as I said before, there are two possibilities that can happen. Your suggestion is a good one, it's easy to say but hard to do, which is why they are still suffering from an increasing number of losses. So I hope that someone will really make a very good judgment when the fact is that their losses are far greater than the winnings, I hope they can realize and choose to fix it by reducing the number of bets or even quitting completely is better.

For someone who is healthy and brings a logical mindset when wanting to gamble I'm sure without some advice  from others they will also be able to take some precautions as you said I think they will definitely be vigilant and also will not be too excessive. Because they are not only thinking about gambling but their minds are divided for other things too such as the  cost of living or basic needs needed by their families.
If they experience much bigger losses, there will be two options for them: they can immediately stop gambling and not gamble forever or they will keep gambling and try to recover their losses. If they choose the first suggestion, that's good for them because at least they have to learn to stop gambling completely. After all, they have already lost a lot of money from gambling. But if they choose the second suggestion, they will experience even more losses, and this time, it could lead them to develop a serious gambling addiction. So it will be up to their decision but they should think about it well and will not choose the second suggestion.

If they are wise gamblers, they will be able to decide what is best for them and will not gamble with too much money because that will only increase the amount of their losses even greater. They will take preventive measures, and maybe they will reduce their gambling activities, especially since their gambling records already contain many losses that will not be able to be recovered even if they use more money.
Its a matter of choice and a matter of common sense on which it would really be just that right that you should really be needing to make out that kind of decisions on which you would really be having that kind of assessment basing up on the situation that you are in. Dont wait up for things to get messy before you would really be taking up some actions.In speaking about keeping up some records then it would really be just that simply your choice knowing that the activity that you are dealing with does involves tons of losses and only a few wins on which it is really just that normal that you would really be needing to make out some adjustments accordingly basing up on what you are experiencing. Somewhat not keeping records does mean that you are a bad gambler yet there are really indeed people who are really playing just for the sake of fun
and doesnt mind about on the money or amount that they have been using into such activity because they are really indeed willing to take risks and losing it all on such session without bothering themselves about on how much they have already spent or that they have lost. It all matters with your own preference since we do have our own ways on how to track into things.
712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sad reality: some countries gamble more than they can afford on: November 11, 2023, 06:16:47 PM
What do you think about this issue where people gamble too much in countries where the vast majority of the population isn't well off? Should governments step in and restrict casinos more perhaps?
One factor I think why people spend so much on gambling more than they can afford is the lack of education and financial literacy. Countries who are poor has a citizens who don't have enough education given the fact that people prioritize surviving and taking jobs instead of studying. Majority of those people who lack financial literacy want to make money as fast as they want and some of them don't really consider the risk of gambling. Casino is a business and they don't earn money from the gamblers, I don't think that gamblers who doesn't have a proper education understand it, they are more focus in taking risk and don't think a head.

I don't buy this argument that those who do not have enough education and/or are illiterate, prefer gambling as it makes quick money. Do you mean to say that those who have no skill, will try their luck in gambling?

Well, this may be true for certain groups of people who have a lot of money to gamble, but usually, a person who is not educated means that he won't be able to get a good job and hence he won't have much money to gamble. So I do not think that those people will prefer gambling as it needs a good financial status and that only comes if you belong to an educated family.

I think it is more of the educated class, who comes to gambling because of a lack of opportunity elsewhere or because they think that gambling is a quick rich scheme.
Truly judgmental i should say on which it isnt really just that right to have that kind of conclusive approach into those people who dont have that proper educational background because not all the time it would really be meaning that they are really that lazy or automatically means that they would really be loving to gamble. It turns out that the citizens of those countries are really that a fan on doing gambling despite of having that kind of financial status or even just saying the economic status of their country which it isnt really that totally a huge factor that would determine whether a certain individual would really be dealing
with gambling or not. It is really that in someones full decision whether they would really be that deciding on playing or not.

Reality? Yes it is and there's nothing we can do about it. People does have the full rights on what are the things that they would gonna do.They wont really be playing if they dont have the money as simple as that.
Even if they are really that living in a country on which it doesnt have that good looking economy or state but still people are really that having a fan on dealing with gambling
and trying to check out those numbers on which it is really that talking about multi-millions. How come that they wont really be able to generate good revenue from it speaking of taxes?

713  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Know how to use Fundamental and Technical Analysis on: November 11, 2023, 04:30:18 PM
So, my friend who just started trading asked me which is better Fundamental and Technical Analysis. So, this is the reply I gave which I also decided to share with others who don't know how this works hand in hand.

Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis are not inherently better than each other. Fundamental Analysis allows you to assess the potential direction of a coin's price, whether it's bearish or bullish. For instance, you can observe how Bitcoin's price has responded to positive news, which you can find on exchanges news insights, as well as popular news apps. Technical Analysis comes into play to further analyze price movements. Is just as easy as that.

Fundamental tells you what to do, while Technical tells you when to do it

If you ask me, I will say fundamental analysis is inherently better than technical analysis but if you understand the both, it gives you lead on how to survive the market. If not for the fundamental news that happened all the time, hodlers of bitcoin will wait forever to harvest their profit from bitcoin. Fundamental gives you lead, more like qualifying your technical.

If you want to set up a trade now and your basic indicators like volume, RSI, Bollinger band and EMA tells you that the market will be bullish and then you went ahead and after like 2 hours the market start to traject upward and all of sudden you read from Coindesk or Cointelegraph that Binance was hacked, there is no way you will live that trade open, you will close it fastly without waiting for stop-loss because it will he trigger in the end, this is what fundamental analysis helps you do.

As you have said, you need to know how to use it and when to use it. The market is experiencing upward moves since last week and that was because of ETF anticipation approvals. Some analyst believe that this is the window period that SEC usually approves ETFs and since we have about 8 bitcoin SPOT ETF pending applications, they might approved some and if they approve that of Blackrock, then the market will react to it, the next move or Bitcoin is going to be $40k for sure.
Put up into your mind that not all the time this market would really be having that kind of news and sentiments on which we could really be able to depend or rely on what our market decisions would be.
If you arent really that sure on how to apply fundamentals then it would really be just that right or normal on having those kind of searches whether that news is something positive or negative
but honestly by the looks and information alone would really be already be able to tell whether on which one it would be. Fundamentals nowadays are already that significant compared into those older years
on which news doesnt really make out some effect into this market which it is unlike now that whenever we do see news then the market do really make out reactions.

The wisest thing to be done is that you should really know on how to make use both things in between FA+TA on which you would really be finding it to be that relevant in speaking about
trading on which these things could really be helpful and you would really be finding it relevant for you to be able to apply it in regarding into your trades.
Although it wont really be that precise but having this kind of approach on making use of these tools and indicators and sentiments would really be beneficial.

With the recent happening as related to phishing, and hacks of accounts a lot of awareness has to be created around the gambling community most especially,  in the area of security and safety of accounts.

This has led me to desire to know the community,  reaction on this subject matter of user login details being frequently asked by a casino,  do you feel safe to see a casino asking you for user name,  or phone number and password each time you open the site in your browser.

To me, a session n n should last until the gamblers close the browser instead of being online and when you want to backspace or check out some feature outside your current mode the prompt for a new login comes up.

I feel unsafe with this and I have avoided the casino,  but that is just my thought but it be nice if I had your views on this.

Are you positive or negative on casinos asking for log-in frequently or do you feel unsafe in putting your login details every time?

If the player uses the application, then the login will be secure, because the application is invariable, it uses secure server channels. The main thing is to download it initially on the official website of the casino or the betting office. If the player uses only the web versions of gambling sites, it is very important to always check the line in the browser. The website address must be written correctly and with a lock indicating the security of the channel. It is better to create a bookmark in the browser that allows you to quickly and safely navigate to the site.
If you are really that paranoid when it comes to security then it wont really be that a bad idea on having that bookmark if you are really that dealing with gambling websites but its really just that hard to believe that there would really be still someone who would really be that still going into those phishing sites yet remembering wont really be that too hard not unless if you are really that too careless on things.
When it comes on asking out always about logging in details then i wouldnt really be that much of an effort yet inputting password and username wont really be that an issue as for the sake of security but somewhat
it is really just that understandable that you would really be going into a point that you would really be getting that irritated just because of that often logging in kind of scenario.
Everything which is too often even if  it do looks not necessary is something that irritating.

This is why if you do find out this kind of feature or function of a casino which you do get pissed on logging in always just for some small activity idle or afk then there's
other places or options on which you could really be able to take. Its a matter of preference in the end of the day when it comes to choices.

Greetings,

refer to my previous topic about ''Investing plan" (as this topic is closed to reply back) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5473379.0 i wanna say thanks for this wise advises.

I believe future is for BTC and my investments will mostly on it. I wanna use Electrum as my main btc assets storing. As i heard exchanges is not safe for storing purposes.

Also my plan is to invest after that litle by litle for example from my income to invest 100-200$ in month.

Thanks again for all members who responded to  my previous topic.
Electrum would really be my best choice next to hardware wallet and even if do able to afford HW but still i do love the simplicity on having that Electrum. Just make it sure that you should really be that be keeping those phrases or PK away on others attention or they would really be able to know. Once exposed then your funds is at risks on which it is really that something that we should really be avoiding on the first place.
If you do able to invest on $100-200 then it would be always recommended that you should really invest on what you can afford to lose. You should not compromise your life savings yet we know that when it comes to this investment in crypto, there would really be no assurance of success and you should really be prepared for that.

Investment decisions would really vary into each person on which it would really be just that depend whether you would really be cashing out when bull run hits or you would really be that holding with your
coins on a very very long time. Of course it would be always ideal that you should really be that taking or reap some profits for sometime specially when you have gained that much.
Do make use of your own common sense because the time comes that you would really needing to take profits.
716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most you have ever lost in one session? on: November 10, 2023, 09:46:16 PM
What is the most money you have ever lost in one session? could be land base casino or crypto casino.

mine was $200,000 on Stake.com 2 weeks ago

This is too much money, to be honest. I can buy a nice house and land for that amount. And I can't afford to waste such a large amount just on gambling. Maybe the person who did that is a rich person, so it can be considered just a coin to him.

But for a person like me, it would be crazy to throw away such an amount. Terrible! He had the courage to bet on that; maybe he thought that when he hit, it would be too big to come back to him, but that's why the luck he was hoping for didn't agree with him.
This amount is beyond my understanding, it’s just crazy money. He probably really can afford this and it’s not that much money for him, but in that case I doubt that he would communicate with us here and now. People with that kind of money have much more important things to do. As for me, I will think several times if I place a bet of $30 and I can get great pleasure if my favorite team wins, and if it loses, it will not affect me. In any case, I don’t wish such big losses on anyone. Stake.com should offer the client a paid vacation on the islands.
When it comes to losing money then it would really be that entirely be depending on someones tolerance and capacity on how far they would really be able to maintain because we knowthat literally that you cant really be able to play if you dont already have the funds but as long you can able to make out some deposit then you would definitely be doing it until you would really be able to notice and realize that you are already that spending that much and this is something that really need to be watched out as early as we can. Dont let yourself do reach out on a certain point that you are losing tons before you could really be able to make out those realizations. We could eventually be able to stop if we wanted to, it would really be just that a matter of decision making on certain situations.

Speaking about money lost or something that can be afford is on maximum of 100 bucks. Beyond that then its not something which i can afford to lose.
Im earning sufficient money for monthly basis and i do only have a few bucks that could be spent out on gambling. I cant just afford myself to play up
more and spending up more which is really that goes beyond my limit line.
717  Economy / Speculation / Re: What did you think will happen to Bitcoin before January? on: November 10, 2023, 08:40:19 PM



- Accumulating Bitcoin doesnt matter on what the price is.
- Accumulating some old altcoins that had dropped their price
- Accumulating some potential gems for this upcoming BR.



I will continue to accumulate bitcoin regardless of the price because my selling target is much higher than the current price and I don't want to waste time as the halving event approaches. I still invest in altcoins a bit but I think this is still not the right time to buy altcoins, bitcoin should still be the priority at this stage. I believe bitcoin will not dump and make a new bottom but altcoins will most likely have more lows if bitcoin falls below $30k.

Even I believe in the method of investing in Bitcoin throughout the year, It's one of task in my bucket list because if we are not a fulltime trader and wants to invest we will not be sure if it's the right time to invest or not and there are always chances that our funds may get struck if we invested during peak and prices crashes down and vice versa wherein we might not invest assuming it's peak but price will start increasing to a level that we wouldn't want to take risk. But if we make small investment every month then we will be in a much better position to sell bull the bullrun and we would have accumulated enough bitcoin to gain a decent profit.

Altcoins I have had bad experience when it comes to long term hence I have stopped investing into altcoins at the moment wherein ETH being an exception.
Speaking about future events then there's no man on this world would really be able to know on where it would really be that going specially with Bitcoin or simply with other coins as well.
We've seen its always been that unpredictable and for sure that with the current movement that we do have now in BItcoin, for sure no one had been anticipated or predicted that we would be able to break that 35k ceiling and now we are playing on 37 and heading right to 40k to touch up that area on which its never been that a bad idea to make out some positioning if you are a short term trade but for those people
who are intending to have that long term approach then they wont really be putting up much care in talks about positioning yet every entry wont really mattering about the price.

This is why if you do see that in January we would really be on higher prices then its not bad to make some entry as of this moment but if you are waiting for some big dip then
it would really be just basically would be depending on your choice since not all would really be that too confident on having such approach.
718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Out of curiosity, how much you wagered recently? on: November 09, 2023, 09:53:16 PM
I think we have a winner here:

Tyler “Trainwreckstv” a prominent Twitch streamer, has allegedly embarked on an extraordinary gambling journey, with a jaw-dropping $14 billion in bets placed on the online crypto gambling platform

I saw people wagering a lot of money, but this guy took it to some higher levels... How can we compete in some wagering wars and competitions against players who wager so much? Do we even have a chance? Smiley

You are not gambling for competitive betting, you gamble to entertain yourself. Gamble as much as you can afford. We don't have a chance to compete with so much money and that's a wrong mindset in my opinion. Maybe he has a lot of money that's why he gambles like that and he seems to enjoy what he's doing even though others feel sorry for what he's doing because it's a lot of money for them. If you enjoy what you do, that's what matters.
Who’s gambling for entertainment alone? If it is entertainment then for sure there are other ways to do so. Let us be honest to ourselves; we are here to make profit but the thing that we should do is to be entertained and lessen the risk of losing as much as possible. With the amount to wager, it depends basically on your bankroll as a gambler. You could bet thousands or millions; just be sure that your financial capacity would be able to handle the consequences from doing so. With the cited instance, that is a huge amount for us but in his case, we heard stories of such perhaps with Drake’s. For us it might sound foolish to do but as I’ve said, as long as your financial capacity would allow you to bet that high, then that would be totally fine.
Very common human being behavior on which even if we do say that we are really just that playing for fun but we are really that still doing our very own bets on to minimize the losses as much as possible or simply being that profitable as much as possible. Those thinking that you do have earlier on trying out to have fun would be replaced with some anxiety and stress specially on the time that you are experiencing consecutive losses on which it would really be that so normal that you should really be that careful when it comes to spending because this is where usually becomes that impulsive kind of emotion or feeling do comes out. If you are
that someone who dont have that kind of strong will or control then most likely you do end up on spending more which is more than on your limit.

Now talking back on how much i have wagered recently then it would be playing around $100-150 which this would really be on random basis because there are times which i dont feel like
on doing gambling much on which it would really be that resulting on having $50 less or something like that. This is my maximum limit which is on 150. Going past that then
its not something that i could afford to lose. Its always been good to set up limitations so that you wont really be finding yourself that get wrecked.
719  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: November 09, 2023, 08:57:32 PM
I think that to avoid over expenses a person must experience first what it is like to live under pressure of owing money to someone. Real life experience is what differs theory from practice. We can say a lot about making budget, planning, avoid impulsive purchases. But people would still get tricked by taking wrong decisioins. But if we already know what will life would be, when we have already burned, then it will be much easier to avoid.

Avoiding impulsive purchases may be the biggest factor in solving the problem. Most of our unnecessary expenses are things we buy on impulse. If we can prevent these, we will have taken a big step towards achieving what we want.

Companies that want consumption to happen take steps to deceive people, and they are very successful in this. The amount of money we spend on things we don't need is increasing day by day. To prevent this, we must make a list of our unnecessary expenses. What we seem to need today may not be needed tomorrow. It is necessary to think in detail before shopping.

Yes, avoiding to allocate money to purchases is indeed a very appropriate action in terms of financial management in our lives, none other than because we must make considerations to adjust expenses with income. I think consideration is very important so that we can reach the right decision and avoid regret when something we buy is really not useful or has a good impact on ourselves.

In my opinion, one of the things that can be done for prevention is to do research in advance about what you really need within a month or one year, such as separating what your basic needs are within a month and if that's all you need then you can put the amount of money that you need for expenses, and also on the other hand we must learn to distinguish what is meant by needs and desires, sometimes people like to be fooled by something they think is a need when in fact it is just a desire from their lust that will only give them satisfaction but not get any other positive impact.
Its truly impossible for someone not to be able to know on where their money would be going not unless if they do have those vices like gambling, drinking liqour and other activities which is really that consuming out too much fund on which you would really be just only be able to realize when its late but if we are talking into those typical spending like in food and other important things then it would really be needing that good allocation or budgeting on which we know that it would really be that so crucial on this part on having this kind of consideration. Having that kind of planning would really be saving up yourself on potential devastation or overdropped
with your budget and this is something that we dont really like because it would really be giving out that huge impact specially if you do have a family to raise on which budgeting would really be something
that recommended or something that crucial.If you arent really that something mindful about these basic stuffs then you would  really be ending up on having that kind of disastrous kind of situation
in speaking about finances.
720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What conditions might cause you to stop gambling? on: November 09, 2023, 07:50:40 PM
-    Most wives actually do not want to know that their husbands gamble because other wives think that gambling is not a good game. Maybe because they know that many people have ruined their lives and destroyed their families because of gambling addiction.

But there are other wives who are fine with them if they find out that you won gambling; of course, that's fine because you will give the money you won to your wife.
My wife already knows that I Gamble. As a matter of fact I have taken her and showing her how it looks like gambling on several casino websites. However once my gambling habits affects my core values abs principles , things that I hold in high value like family, work, work in the community, that is enough conditions to stop gambling.
It is really that something good to look at if your wife does really know on what you are doing. If you are a gambler then she knows on the things that you've been doing then you wont really be hesitating
on what are the things that you've been doing but of course you would be needing to approach whether this one is really just that fine or would really be that against into here liking because
this is where problems do really start on which on the time that you would really be that you've been doing or having some secret into your wife. Its always better and much
preferred that you wont really be hiding something.

Stopping gambling would really be that entirely be depending on you because there are individuals who cant really be able to control themselves
and this is where problem do starts on which they cant really be able to make themselves assess whether its wrong or not.
