1- chatgpt is currently based on data that ends in October 2021.
Right, as long as the developers of it will update it then it will gather the predictions that it can accumulate through the data from specific period of time and those that has got better prices.

I also play with chatgpt and asks questions like this but I don't give my decision wholly dependent on it. But when you're bored and want to look to do something like this, good thing it's for free.

You're right, crying is better than committing suicide.

And with her reaction, she cried because she lost her money that she's not prepared for. It's okay to cry for someone who assumed that she's gonna make money quickly with sports betting because everybody does.

But on her case, she's not just prepared for it because of what she thought. Gambling isn't for her and she shouldn't gamble anymore because there can be a worst case scenario that she might do for herself when losses comes to her.
Better to know that crying will not do anything. Instead of crying, moving on should be done. By doing so, accepting the fact that the money is gone will be easy to accept and never get into gambling activity again if she's not prepared to lose her money. I'm not saying that crying is not okay, but the moment that the lady starts to gamble, it comes with the risk of losing her money. Crying only shows that she's not prepared and now after losing, that's the only thing she can do.
It's okay to cry and that's a normal reaction after seeing that the money has gone away. And you're right that the next move is to move on.

For most of those gamblers that can't do that, they will struggle on that part of moving on. That's even still a painful thing for them because even if they have accepted the fate of their money and lost.

Woman like her can't just move on and there are men that are also being like that, when they gamble they cry when there's so much losses they've made or they just can't take it anymore.
863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? on: October 22, 2023, 06:20:32 PM
I don't keep records as well because it doesn't make sense for me. Whatever is spent on gambling for me, should be forgotten forever. We're not bad gamblers, and that doesn't mean we're not responsible as well.
Keeping records could make me think if I were a bad person. I will see how much money I've spent for gambling, after few years I realize if such money could be used to buy motorcycle, car etc. While not keeping records will make me think it's okay to lose $100/month because I've make more than that.
I know that feeling, it's the regret when you see those records on how much was spent on gambling and you should have spent it somewhere else that you can see that tangible thing like those that you've mentioned.

There's really the difference about keeping records and the perspective that you've got in your mind. If it's okay for you to keep records, that's fine because that makes you feel satisfied and able to track your gains and losses.

But if you think that it's making you a bad person for thinking how much you've spent and lost then you better do what you think is right for you. Because it is you that's experiencing that and not other people.

Stories like always cracks me up.
Well crying is better than those who committed suicide. After crying she's going to get a plate of ice cream after which she'll forget about her loss.
Real gamblers don't cry. We what that it is what it is. Anyone who doesn't gamble responsibly will face the consequences.
You're right, crying is better than committing suicide.

865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 21, 2023, 10:12:26 AM
It's true that gambling while working is not recommended. If you work, just work, don't do anything else outside of work.
And what's bad on this setup is you do it on your work station, in your work environment which is offensive for the company if ever they find out what you do.

Everything has its time, there is time for work, study, play and even gambling. For me personally, I set aside weekend time to gamble and that's only for a few hours, not for long, because the game I play is a slot type and there's no point in lingering on it.
Weekend is usually the best time to gamble for those working folks. You have all the time, all night of Friday up to weekends to do what you wanna do including to gamble.

But doing it on a working space or in your office should be discouraged.
866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More secure ways of storing bitcoin? on: October 21, 2023, 07:15:17 AM
Many here are suggesting that they do not keep anything on exchanges. I doubt this. They must be having good amount on exchanges. They operate with huge amounts and must be involved in trading crypto also. It will not make much difference to their net worth even if they loose funds on one exchange due to hack. They keep the risk versus reward ratio in mind before taking such decisions. Keeping the money idle in hardware wallets or paper wallets will give them no returns at all.
Well, I also feel like what you've said.

Even if someone says that one shouldn't keep your balances on exchanges, you may see them have some of their stash deposited there for whatever purpose they are doing. Like in interest accounts and earns passively there but they know the risk I guess.

So wherever you're keeping them, you're aware of the risk that you're taking upon keeping it on exchanges. It's not just the newbies that does it and yes also likely the ones that suggests don't keep it there.

What being responsible is you don't compromise other things that you need to provide for yourself and your family as well.

If you're the guy that keeps record, that's okay and it means that you just want to track your expenditures and you're organized.
868  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Community Watchdog - Signal VIP Groups Review on: October 21, 2023, 03:29:07 AM
What I don't understand with these people that are already on these "VIP/premium" signals group is that. Why are you sharing this group to others if you can just stay there and make yourselves rich and forget about remembering other people to share what you've found?

That doesn't make sense, right?

Because if you're making a lot of money from those signals and group, you only have to mind of yourselves and enjoy it until you don't have to work anymore and doesn't need to share any details of it on many forums. But you guys are sharing it and let's be honest that you're all for the payment of your potential victims.
869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sweat coin. Is this real? on: October 20, 2023, 11:42:40 PM
AFAIK, sweatcoin was a project that deals with fitness matters like it is going to reward you for your jogging and how many miles you'll take.

That's what the easiest understanding I've got from them. But if someone gives you free money, do you think that it's right when you know that you have never joined an airdrop?

There must be something wrong with that and that should raise a red flag for that. It will give you a better and stronger sense if they want you to connect your wallet to get that airdrop.

Bitvest never went offline, if I am not wrong so it's just back into the promotion business nothing different.
Yeah, they didn't but has got some issues just about the withdrawals before and then it was resolved as well.

Other than that, I can't think of other issues that they got into aside from all of your discussions about the campaign and not to the website and its operation.

And whether LL is present or not, IIRC, there are his staff that can manage the business continuously.
871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My first Bitcoin on: October 20, 2023, 07:37:42 PM
I have planned to get into altcoins mining before when Ethereum was still a PoW but I found it out that GPUs were on a craze and there's lesser supply but higher demand which turned the price higher.

I was just an optimistic guy with that before but then suddenly turned down the idea and just focus into using my other source into purchasing Bitcoin.


With other altcoins, it would be a very unwise idea but if it is ETH then I think you missed a big opportunity even though you chose to hold bitcoin as an alternative to mining ETH. It cannot be denied that a lot of altcoins are useless and scams, but that does not apply to ETH, if you became an ETH miner at that time, you would also become rich on it because its value has also increased thousands of times, not inferior to bitcoin. But anyway, bitcoin is not a bad choice.
Yeah, I truly missed that opportunity because those folks that I was with before on this idea, they continued and managed to have a decent passive income through it until the change of Pos to Pos happened.

It's okay, I was still able to collect some and was happy when I sold it at a good price. Maybe I will become financially free if I did it before but not that rich to think of.

What's done is done and changed has came to ETH, that's why holding is one of the best choice when you don't know what to do.
872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cross addictions is Just as Bad. on: October 20, 2023, 06:42:00 PM
Cross addiction though is mostly related when you go from bad to worse,for example you go from gambling to alcohol and from alcohol to whores your life never seem to get on track again and as such it is a bad one,the above example is a good one which should be beneficial for the person.
That can happen but not all cross addictions will be on this result.

But yes, most likely that it's gonna be like when the gambler that have cross addiction won't check himself out. Because it is important to check if you're still on the goal of removing the gambling addiction.

And when you happen to see yourself winning from it, don't lose yourself from the other activities that you're doing and as much as you can make yourself not to have a cross addiction, avoid that to happen.

Owning 1BTC these days is not easy because its value has become very large. I still haven't accumulated 1 BTC and I'm also curious, how many people on our forum own more than 1 BTC?
Yeah, it's harder because it's more expensive than a few years ago and someone who's vocally telling that they've got 1 BTC even on the forum, I don't think should be done unless you're totally fine with that.
874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 19, 2023, 11:35:02 PM
~snip~
I know some of the reasons why it can be very hard to quit gambling while losing. It might be because the gambler is trying to recover the money that he has lost, but it is not a very good idea to continue gambling while one is losing. It is good to give it a break rather than continue to lose more to it, although it is hard. I am kinda sure that that's the best option at that particular point in time.

I quit gambling when I was losing some months ago, if I can recall, and I am proud to say that it helped me not to lose more at it. However, presently, I am not a regular customer, gambling either online or offline, and sometimes, if I do bet, I don't go back losing everything and sometimes I go back with more to the ones I came with. That is to say the winnings don't come all the time, but if the winning time doesn't come. We gamblers shouldn't force them to come by gambling more.
Those that are quitting while or before they're losing are like able to close and stop the faucet of losing more. And you did a good job with that if that's what happened to you.

While for the gamblers that are continuing as they lose, it's hard to break that cycle because it has become a norm for the most gamblers to keep going on until they recover or lose more.

That's always the choice and the result and we know all of these and yet we're doing what we shouldn't do. On the other hand, when you're winning, you also need to do what's right and that's just to take away with the money you already have.
875  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: October 19, 2023, 07:31:17 PM
Nine months is long but it varies on what type of learner you are. I think if you're done with the teaching lessons and that teacher of yours want an extension. Think of it first if it's worth it.

Because it's possible that guy just want to have to secure himself nine months of having a side hustle through you.

If you can do it on your own with that span, you'll learn more and if the firs teaching sessions were enough and you think are worth it then you can continue without him. Anyway, it's your personal choice if you'll keep and hire him as your mentor.
I also think nine months is a very long time, it is impossible for any material to be repeated to be taught during those nine months.
And in my opinion, nine months is very detrimental, it would be better if we only need to learn the basics and then start developing it ourselves slowly and even that can be done while trading or it is better to learn it ourselves while doing direct trading, I used to be like that but fortunately I have a community so it's easier to ask if there's something I don't understand.
Yes, there might be some teachings that will be repeated for that period of time. I think it's much better if it's like a period of testing strategies and the learnings that OP has got from that mentor.

He's lucky to have it if he has found a legitimate one because most of these mentors are just up for the sale of their lessons and materials. And that's why he's the one to prove whether that mentor is good or not.

Then, it's up to him if he'll still hire him as a guide and mentor for that long.

There are times that you'd think that it's just pure chance and luck even if you're into games like sports betting.

I don’t know but it’s how gambling actually works. Some may offer beginner’s luck but at the end of the day, we all get unlucky and lose all our profits even the last money we have on our pockets.
Sometimes beginners luck do come to the real beginners but not to all them they experience it. It's funny when someone who believes on it as a beginner and then gambles for real but never had the luck to win.

And that's why from the start, that type of beginner never proceeds and just stops from there.

Well, what they would say now? It doesn't matter anymore but back then, I don't want to recall anymore those moments. So, I'll talk about the present time.

They sort of aware of it and I even saw one time that my mom talked about gambling on an app which is popular today. And even saw the bet slip in the history of her phone.

I guess she had an idea about that on me so, that probably concludes that it's fine whether they know or not in present time.
879  Economy / Economics / Re: If USA Will Be In The War - Government Can Confiscate All Bitcoins + Blockchain on: October 18, 2023, 10:35:07 PM
This applies to every government in the world. Every country might go to war at some point in the future and might attempt to start seizing coins if things will get dire for the war economy. If people will voluntarily or involuntarily let their government know how many coins they own, the government might come to them to confiscate the coins, and even if they attempt to hide the coins, the coins or the liquidated funds will become harder to use legally. So it's not like crypto is a perfect loophole for avoiding funds seizure.
I agree, that's what they will do if they're in the dire need for more funds.

Every citizen will be pushed with money that they've got and will be confiscated and if it's still not enough, all they need to do is to secure and be more strict with where Bitcoins can be exchanged into fiat.

They'll go with these exchanges and have the information of any registered user on them and that's how they're going to get their intel, and in no time they'll be at the door steps knocking it and you'll have no way of denying it that you still own some.
880  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wow! US Gov among largest Bitcoin hodlers with over $5B in BTC - and Tim Draper? on: October 18, 2023, 09:20:32 PM
They've put many of those in auctions and that's the whole plan and if ever they still have a lot on their stash, who's the real winner? Yeah them.

While it is intriguing on what happens to the seized Bitcoins and if it's still on their possession and if there is an audit on it, then they should release that as well.

But if it's confidential and we can't even have a glance of it and somehow they'll just announce that they still have a lot of it and they don't have plans of selling it, who cares?
