The pump and dump coins are for the risk takers and those that understand it make money from it but that is after the team, if they are lucky. Some investors like fast speed money spilling shit coins, nothing wrong if you have the fast money mentality but you have to cover your risk by knowing what you want to go in for.

For newbies, it is not a good decision to taste the waters that not very many investors have confirmed, it is better to stay with top coins whose leader is bitcoin.

You are not manipulated neither is any one manipulated to over stake or consistently gamble. You are not the only one in this and it is greed that cause that uncontrollable pulse to always gamble even with losses.

Yes to rebet when the current game didn't win is the negative effect of gambling online because if you have your gambling staked online and you didn't win the betting ticket, there and then you can rebook the remaining games. If you are betting online then you need a great level of financial discipline otherwise you will see yourself rebooking games because you want to try and get something out of what you have lost, it creates an addition rapidly that you always see yourself login in to your app every time to check if you have won or lost.

In every sphere of life, there are those who are professionals and these categories of people don't need to sweat out for them to know what it is. In gambling, there are also newbies and at all times it is not only knowledgeable dice players play the game, their are newbies. As always, newbie players find it difficult to understand if they are cheated or not. If a dice for instance is not rolling  properly or producing certain consistent numbers, it may not be spotted out by a newbie player, that is the point. So identify fake or real dice is still the first challenge. However, there are some test to know if a dice is real from the shape, if it is producing consistently certain predetermined number, that can be a sign to look out for.

The point is to identify whether the dice is real or fake because not many players can identify such.

And more so, some gamblers will play anyways since the appearing of the numbers is still by chance, they will feel that the probability of a particular number to appear against another is still the same or equal, so why giving up. But except the dice are obviously ultered, then it will be a source of concern.

I believe also that price control is not the only thing that help to grow the economy to the exclusion of all other indices that supports the economy to improve. What if there is excess money in the economy , that causes inflation. What if the constitution is not strengthen for the benefit of the larger society but only benefit the few by appointment? What about corruption in government where they embezzle money for capital projects like roads, bridges , low cost houses etc, that leads to under development and further impoverish the people.

So price control is just the very few and minor factors that are even secondary in a sane economy because if government officials are honest, inflation will be dropped. It is inflation that is part of the reason for prices of goods and services to be uncontrollable.

You don't need to introduce the person to gambling since he didn't come to you for that or he didn't tell you he was having issues with his slot betting, if he had done that then it would have been a good avenue to introduce him to something else which is sports betting as his alternative for slot.

One thing about sports betting especially football is that it looks easy to bet and win bet in reality it doesn't appear like that, so maybe the person has been betting on it with no success because sports betting is not just about watching football matches but it also includes analysing the games properly. Introducing him may be a futile attempt , he could tell you how much he has been losing in it but found slot to be better for him. I don't need introduce someone to gambling.

Nobody knows the next price of bitcoin so stop day dreaming and expecting someone to give you accurately what the price will be at a certain time because they can't see tomorrow. You can check on https://coinmarketcap.com/ to see prices and take a speculative decision for your self.

However, what is certain is the expectation of a bull run that is coming in few months time and by that time the price of bitcoin can start appreciating. I suggest you move this thread to speculation sub board here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0

I have seen some people that have not allowed their children to be exposed to finance and making money, they want the children to first study and knowledgeable about what they want before they go into making money. They deny and deprive them certain access to finance until they are up to a certain age.

Gambling in early age is exposing the children to certain behaviour that their mind is not mature to carry at the time. When children gamble and win huge money they are likely to be disrespectful because even an adult who wins huge amount of money do misbehave to a certain extent because money actually have a controlling influence and if you can't control yourself you are likely to misbehave talk more of children. So life is a gradual process just like the day and night interchange theirselves when they should and it gives the earth morning and evening. There is time for everything, no need for rushing into gambling when you are not ready.

No go think am like that because some days are like that. There are days wey be say no matter how you want do am you must have a bad day, so if e con be say na the day wey we no expect say e go dey difficult for us unto say na small thing wey we dey handle, then we go immediately conclude as your post talk say simple things dey hard to handle but the reality be say na just the way that day be.

Some people go say dem wake up on the wrong side of the bed and na so life be. Me I no believe am say little things dey difficult but na the day's destiny na im dey determine how the day go be . Some people get different believe for the day including people wey go first follow dem buy market, dem dey believe say some people get good luck when dem first buy market from dem and so dem go wish say na those people first open their market. The thing dey funny as it works for some people.

For newbies wey dey hear of bitcoin investment and say e do this and that and how e go make dem rich, make una dey play. Make we remember say na how you invest in something na so you go carry get profit. I wonder how many people fit buy 1btc because if you invest heavily den when the bull hit am the profit margin go also rise but if na small fraction wey you buy, na still small profit go enter your hand.

If you buy coin and you dey expect automatic increase for you to cash out it means you are greedy. Na timing be everything and season come and go, there is bear and bull for this crypto market so na to look at the right time wey you go invest and not to hastily invest for profit and back out early. Make we take chill pill because this bull fit land us into 6 digit price by den you wey don sell early go still dey regret. From April now we go get halving and soon between then and 2025 we suppose see very good volatility wey go push price high, so no panic sell if you don't have need for the money.

I dey believe say no free food anywhere even for free town and that is why we need to shine our eyes on anything wey concern social media. If adds pop up for my social media handle telling me how I go take earn some kind money like that omo I no dey bother click dem oo because of the believe wey I get say people no go show you road to money when dem dey look for money and truly many people don dey scammed because of wetin dem click because if you click and see you fit begin get interest and that is why I try to avoid them. But, if na comedy skit and other stuff wey I go learn something on, then I fit check am out. In other words, I never benefit from social media ads regarding financial gratification.

Self control is what a gambler need in certain cases because that relates to that patience which we are talking about. A repeated loses deserves a break but gamblers that doesn't have self control would want to get back to his money which means uncontrollable gambling for the sake of revenge and this doesn't come out in good taste. Whether physically or mentally fit, a gambler that doesn't know how to stop when they should will always get his bankroll exhausted because they keep refilling to chase loses while they keep falling uncontrollably.

There are ways to richness or being poor that you need hard work to ulter and that is destiny. It is destiny that makes certain things go the way they go and no matter your effort, you are neither here nor there and someone with little or no effort succeed in that which has been difficult to achieve. So some people are destined for certain level in life and the book read is just to help those who are struggling in certain challenges to keep moving. Perhaps Elon musk and warren may be destined for such financial levels they have attained and any little effort takes them higher.

Forget about the notes, don't peep into them because they have a grace different from yours and whatever decision they took worked for them because of the grace that is different.

We are all different, don't be wasteful, guide your finances and follow your plans. Things written on books are not always the way they are, reality changes and circumstances are different. The Economist are not rich or super rich because they wrote phrases and hypothesis.

In today's business world, Usury is the way that people have survived in their business. It is difficult for a family member to raise a certain capital for you to start up your particular business area so you have to go borrowing to see that you start your business and keep financing it until a certain extent where it is financially stable and you can also lend a helping hand to others either by usury or gift.

What is not really good is the high rate of interest that is charged on it like what the banks do, upto 12%-25% is charged in banks especially those in Nigeria and that is really high for a business to survive with it amidst other economic development indices that are not there like electricity, double taxation etc.

This is a normal feeling in anything that has to do with investment or gambling, the instinct is a factor that differentiates human. So in gambling, because you don't know the outcome of the bet you are trapped with this feeling of increasing your bet but I think it is because of greed that a gambler begins to reconsider that against his staking power. What matters is the capital and capacity that you can bear to lose but it is a natural feeling that comes in the mind of a gambler to double or triple your bet incase of winning but we also should consider losing too.

Yes it is a matter of preference. Some people like the offline gambling because they are not hiding their gambling character while some gamblers don't like someone to know how they gamble so it is about preference.

I know that casinos have a single chat room that is difficult to keep up with and some gamblers like it just that way because they don't want traces of their chat easily that is if at all they are chatting, hence they just want to gamble on their own in their own closet without involving any other party. But really online gambling doesn't really need a third party just like cryptocurrency.

The older people simply don't know how to go about cryptocurrency and also the internet looks like a challenge to them but they may not tell you this opening because they don't want to be seen as someone not informed about the use of the internet. The internet to me is the challenge here and I believe if everything about cryptocurrency were to be offline then you will see the kind of interest from the older generation. The old that is investing in crypto are those already visiting the internet and having businesses online requiring email address or social media marketing handle to marketing and transactions.

But always remember that it is not a very good decision to plan with gambling winnings because such hope can be dashed at the instant of losing and that will set you back more than you were as you would have used your initial capital to gamble and calculating, while waiting for potential winning to show real. Most people who have been planning with gambling money have not been succeeding because they put all hope in it but gambling profit comes as luck.

That is the dependants. Yes those that depends on the addicts for money are likely to be the worst hit because they will need money and if the addict is not winning to provide for them then they will suffer. However, the addict will also be affected because they are the first hit of their inability to win and usually those that depend on someone for money may feel the heat of not getting the money if the provide pretend not to have the money but if genuinely the money isn't available then the provider will feel the effects more, in this case the addict will feel it if he is not winning.

No she won't be that mad if the son had won jackpot with the stolen money. What she would have done is to only talk to him about not stealing but to inform her if he wanted some money to gamble 

We have also had issues hear about children in religious home where gambling is forbidden and the child won huge some of money and heaven didn't lose. So such cases are not going to get the perpetrator to die, it will only be more painful if the risk didn't result to winning but if it did, the mother will swallow the shame that the son stole from her but be happy that he won the bet which the stolen money was used for.
