I agree with this.

You can definitely make a passive income from trading especially if you already established your portfolio and if you are really that good in market analysis. Trading requires effort, time, and of course money. It is a risk very much different from gambling because gambling is mainly for entertainment and bonus if you can generate profit. While trading is intended to profit and earn money. Taking advantage of the market volatility, knowing when to buy, sell, and cutloss.

Leaving your job because you can make trading as your everyday means of survival is possible. As a matter of fact, I knew some who did this and has a very stable and financial independent life nowadays. But if you will do it because of gambling, think twice, even ten times because gambling is different. It's mostly based on luck and it couldn't possibly be sustainable for the long run.

It's normal if people will bet in the specific sports they are knowledgeable of. Having enough knowledge on the sports gives you an edge over other bettors from winning. If you have relevant and updated information needed to predict the course of the game progression, then you have a higher probability of making a calculated prediction of the game outcome. Especially if you know the strengths and weaknesses of the team players and the team itself, it will be a less challenging analysis on your end. But of course, analyzing the situation should still be done with caution since no matter how confident and sure you are on the capabilities of your choice, sometimes fate has other plans.

Some like to bet on ball games because they know so much about it and they have fun watching it. So I guess it's really to each his own. Sometimes people also have this some sort of belief that pushes us to do something because of the charm or luck aside from being well-informed.

I like your point of view here.

While it is really possible to earn a hundred dollar using your 2000 dollars fund, it's also possible to lose it instead of gaining more. The harsh reality in gambling is nothing is guaranteed despite how high the odds are. It's possible you will make the most out of your money, but it's also possible to lose it at once while trying to earn profit. Hence, it is really advisable that you only bet what you can afford to lose so that you won't regret and blame yourself later on

There's a high risk in betting and playing using big amount, but there might be a high reward that might come afterwards. That's why you must calculate and analyze whether if it's worth to try or not instead of impulsively trying. And from there, decide whether you will still pursue or not. Weighing the pros and cons is essential.

If you are trying to find a casino that is reputable, there are so many threads here in forum about that already. But if you will really insist on depositing and playing in this platform because you are curious and you want to explore, go ahead and try it. But make sure to only deposit the minimum amount to test the waters first. Since I believe there are limited reviews about bithound, it's better to be cautious than to regret later on. Try to deposit an amount you can afford to lose so that you will not blame yourself if the things you expected won't happen.

It's really such a hassle whenever transaction fees skyrocket to this kind of amount. It's hard to afford it especially if you are a small time gambler because the transaction fee will already make a difference such as additional to the gambling fund. If this will continue, it'll force the small time gamblers to use another coin for a while so they can still deposit and play. Since for sure, it's much better to adjust for a while than not play and bet at all for those who really like to gamble.

If I were it, I'd rather pause or just shift temporarily to other coins available that has lower fees. Hopefully though, this will soon lower down gradually so there won't be much negative effects.

I disagree.

Society can't function without the government, and not all of the people have the privileged to be self-employed on something that pays well to put food in their table. There's a lot work that the government does, however it is true that they are mostly not solving major problems in different countries, that's why a lot of people suffer.

You can't say that people starve because they are lazy, not all of us has a good pay grade, for example, farmers here in my country are poor because the Government are not supporting them very well.

Maybe not spending too much on things you wanted just because I have a lot of money for a moment, or when my salary pays good, that's what I've learned.

Saving is very important, especially when an emergency situation comes. Listing what you're gonna buy before going to a grocery will help you to save your money from buying some random things you'll see in the grocery store. Cooking instead of eating in a restaurant will help you as well to save your money, it's not a must to eat outside. Impulsive buying will just drain your bank account, so it's not really a good thing.

I very much agree with this.

This will really be a difficult task to accomplish especially if you have limited resources at your disposal. It will require a lot of luck, good set of skills, time, and effort in order to consecutively and consistently win a hundred dollars a day. Because of course, there won't always be winnings for you, you could encounter some losses along the way which means loss of funding on your end that will greatly impact the profit and earning for the day. If you want a stable income with that range of amount, it's best to find a job that pays well rather than relying on gambling because there's a high chance you'll even lose more than what you could earn especially if the rtp is low and you're not just that lucky enough.

I'm glad it worked out on you on some instances. Betting on the underdog is a risk especially if there is a huge favor on the side of the very well-known and reputable opponent in terms of odds. But sometimes, it's worth the shot to risk on uncertain situations especially if you really believe the capabilities of the underdog you are planning to bet on. After all, it's not always the one in the spotlight wins. Some players become complacent on their skills and thus, do not train enough resulting to lack of preparing ahead that could cost the fight. If the you know that the other player is complacent while the underdog is determined and has continuously shows potential, then perhaps trying to bet on him won't be so bad. Just do proper analysis and of course, bet responsibly.

These people that you mentioned are in denial. They can't seem to accept the fact that they have lost the game and they have lost the funds they bet on especially if the amount is a huge one. Sometimes people tend to blame others for their own doing because they don't want to carry all the burden such as the regrets and losses that came from the miscalculated or impulsive decision they have made. If you are close with someone that possess this kind of mindset, you should give them a heads up about their actions. But if they won't do something about it or if ever they lash out on you because of your concern about them, it's time to cut them off before you also fall victim into their dirty tactics.

It's both, lack of interest and lack of knowledge.

Most of the people see Bitcoin as a scam, (1) because of its price/value, (2) because of scammers who are using or used Bitcoin as a bait to steal others money. People are scared of those two things, that's why they are always skeptical about investing in Bitcoin. Also the FUDs going around every bear market is not a joke for the people who doesn't really have any idea about cryptocurrency.

We can't blame them though, they just not chose to get out of their safe zone, only few people chose to risk their money to grab opportunities that is in cryptocurrency.

Greedy people (in a bad way) will never be successful in life, maybe for a while, but karma will hit very hard.

I would never dare myself to use someone else's money in anything, especially in trading where everything is unpredictable, which makes it very risky hoping to earn big money instantly. Trading in cryptocurrency is not gonna make anyone rich overnight, it doesn't work that way, it is the other way around for those whose mindset works that way. Trading as a source of income is like a diamond in rough, it needs time and skills to be polished, to earn great profit.

If you explained everything to him about the risk in trading, then you're all good. You didn't force him to do so, he insisted, so clear your mind and just guide your friend whenever he have a question about trading. Always include disclaimers, that'll help too. If your friend really wanted to do trading, I'm sure he knows himself that it is not that easy if he already started doing so.

Indeed. Gambling and investing are two different things. It's like comparing apples to oranges which are the same fruit, but different in all other aspects.

Gambling and investing possess risks. In gambling, you do it out of enjoyment, for the entertainment it brings, the thrill and excitement it provides, and the satisfaction when you do what you want. Perhaps you even do it for some money-making reason. But the risk that comes with gambling has a different level in terms of putting your funds in an investment vehicle like cryptocurrency such as bitcoin.

In gambling, you can't really guarantee a win unless you are skilled, knowledgeable, and lucky. I guess the same thing applies in investment, only that investors don't really rely on luck because doing so could endanger their assets. It's important for investors to know factual information, the current trends, and proper analysis of a situation before building up his portfolio. Otherwise, the risk will be higher that could result to loss of fund or liquidation or assets.

Investment is done in order to safeguard your future. It is important for those people who want to profit over time. It is also done so that the value of money on hand will appreciate instead of depreciate because of inflation. Which is not really done in gambling.

Some people really have high hopes which is why they tend to pursue things even though it seems impossible for other people. A hundred dollar a day is not an easy task if you are not doing a job that pays really well. It won't be impossible but will also be a tough thing to do in gambling if you are not skilled enough and if the luck is not on your side. Personally, I find it not really practical to spend a lot of money just to be able to reach a huge profit that isn't certain to begin with, especially in gambling because it is high risk.

But people have their preferences. If you really want to attain it, then go. Just manage your expectations and do not act impulsively so you won't regret later on. High risk, high reward is what happens in gambling after all. Just don't chase winnings after winnings or losses so you won't get trapped into the cycle.

Gambling industry has grown a lot. From the past years, there are only limited casino websites where you can enjoy yourself by playing and betting. There are also limited variations of games way back compared to today. Fortunately, gambling industry has progressed so much that gamblers who just want to entertain themselves and perhaps make a profit on the side have many alternatives and options to choose from nowadays.

Comparing before, the ease of transacting is evident too. There are now smaller transaction fees and faster transaction time compared before and there are many means of depositing. You can even choose what coin you will use. Various crypto availability is one of the pros that most gamblers like and the website's personalized coin as well. Bonuses and promotions evolved too. Development of gambling industry will surely happen continuously and I really do hope that along the way, players will be more disciplined and responsible.

Well, if someone is observant and very much close to each of the family members, there's a high chance that he will notice the sudden changes about the person involved in gambling, especially if that particular person is addicted to gambling already. There will be signs that the person is having difficulties in money or sudden transition in habits and behaviors. Sometimes, those who are addicted develop attitude problem. Temperament becomes an issue, the aggressiveness in making money or begging for money becomes evident.

But if family members tolerate such acts without confronting, there's a low chance addiction will be prevented to further continue and grow. Privacy is essential, but checking the family members, especially if it's children involved, there should be an open communication.

You can't maintain the profitability in trading, because sometimes your losses are more than your winnings and it could be the other way around too. Trading is about luck and how good your probability is, because that's how you're gonna increase your chances of making profit every single trade you're gonna make. Maybe you could have 70-80 percent of making your profit stable but not 100%.

I've once tried an investment kind of business with my two friends, I financed the business and I let them did the work. I am the one who holds the money, since I'm the boss, and it went well. I believe before you start a business with a friend or with some friends, it must be someone who you really know well, like really well, because your bond is very important. It must be someone that values your friendship and respect you as an individual who is superior to them especially if they know well that you are much talented to them.

But that doesn't mean that you don't respect them as well just because you're superior to them, if you know what I mean.

It's just getting worst as the days goes by.

The government doesn't really care about its people, it only cares on how much money they can get from every single citizen living in the country. They are bunch of corrupted, evil people, well not all of them but most of them are. So, it is never gonna be solve because the government doesn't want to, they just let people starve to death, living in the streets, sick and malnourished children, and so on.

This world is not gonna get better, in my opinion, because we're just getting greedier and not better.
