5000$ in Bitcoin.

10,000$ in Bitcoin.

15,000$ in Bitcoin.

Then put everything inside a hardware wallet and wait for the next bull run. This is the safest strategy to invest in cryptocurrencies. You don't need anything besides Bitcoin to make profit in crypto industry. But if even after reading this you aren't convinced yet, and think Bitcoin profitability is too low for you, then you might split your investment into 90% Bitcoin and 10% for altcoins. I wouldn't recommend investing more than 10% in altcoins, due to the lack of reliability they present on long term, compared to Bitcoin, unless you aren't really willing to invest your money, rather you are looking to gamble with your funds.

Bitcoin can't create anything, since it's just an inanimate currency without free will, conscience, desires, needs and everything else a human being has... But through Bitcoin people can proportionate new opportunities to reduce poverty in the world, as it's a decentralized currency which can be easily adopted by anyone, since they have an internet connection and proper device. To be able to work online to someone on the another side of the world and be paid in BTC is a great opportunity for everyone to raise their incomes and thrive financially.

However, opportunities are still scarce and most people can't take advantage of Bitcoin, since they don't have money to invest, and not being able to find jobs offers on the internet. The virtual labor supply is just too high for the current demand from the market. It ends that only few lucky individuals manage to earn money online, while the vast majority still perishes, despite the disgusting and delusional propagandas made by coaches and social influencers telling it's easy to make online income and everyone can work online.

I was watching a documentary yesterday displaying Mumbai's slums, where poor workers were making 6$ daily income through plastic recycling. How could those people invest in BTC with such low amounts of money? Probably they don't even have money for all their basic needs at first place. So, Bitcoin is definitely not reaching those people. It's not helping them to leave poverty, because they can't adopt Bitcoin, neither have means to work online to earn it as extra income.

I believe Bitcoin hasn't been helping people to get rid of poverty, rather it's helping middle class citizens to raise their life standards, while some of them have been able to become rich through investing in Bitcoin during the early years.

It's quite obvious the less probability of winning a bet, the higher it's going to be its final reward, while a bet where you have a high winning probability will reward you low profit. Different gamblers will choose one or another route, depending the current situation and their past experiences betting on the favorites and underdogs. There isn't an assured strategy to be more profitable on long run by choosing low or high risks. Actually, every gambling strategies you adopt will lead to long run losses, unless you are lucky to hit the jackpot once in your life and quit gambling.

Personally, I've already played through low risk many times, but I don't feel like the experience was rewarding for me. If I could go back in time, probably I would do the opposite, going for high risk and high odds, because that way at least I would have the chance of winning some considerable prize (the jackpot) and then making good use of the reward, instead of losing big sums of money on low risks bets, imagining they were going to work in my favour...

That is the point. If the winner didn't want to be recognized, there shouldn't be the need for taking any pictures at first place. That would be much more legit than sharing an obviously faked picture on social medias to justify a winner who might not even exist. The story is so absurd that it became funny after all... Now despite investigations and every other political procedures going on, people should just stop playing on this lottery for their own good. There are so many gambling offers available on the internet nowadays that this local lottery can be totally forgotten by Filipinos without any prejudices for them.

Anyway, don't expect anything from the government and politicians, under the risk of wasting precious time of your life waiting for a justice which may never come, because corruption is permeated through all those spheres of power.

In the video shared by OP, unless the problem occured only when the man was betting, that gambler should already know his device had to be replaced by a new one, because it's likely it was malfunctioning while being used for other apps in general as well, as a damaged device won't work properly for anything. If it's really the case, I think the man was too irresponsible to use that device for gambling, because such issues were expected. Actually, I think a device like that shouldn't be used for any matters involving money, as the risks of something going wrong and losing funds forever are too high. Imagine sending a transaction to someone and the button doesn't work, but after a while you see it not only worked, but also sent the transaction twice... I understand money is hard to acquire for everybody right now, and that if the man had conditions he would be using a better device, although at same time to use a damaged smartphone isn't helping either.

It's not harmful for now because she is still too young to understand. But be assured it won't take too long until she starts asking you to let her play the rabbits and carrots' game as well. She will want you to teach her how to play the game. I say that because I remember when I was a young child I watched my father playing a game on the computer. At first point I just had interest in watching him playing the game, but after some time I already wished to try by myself as well. And it was more or less at the same age of your daughter I watched him playing, and after 1 or 2 years I desired to play the game myself.

Once it happens you will have to create another excuse or stop playing in front of her, because I think you won't want to let her play slot machines in such an early age, right? The fact slot machines are so colorful and shining make it impossible that kids don't develop sudden interest for them. At same time, I don't think parents should create a taboo around gambling games when talking about them to their children. I guess to take a more natural approach must be the best idea.

It's common to play under pressure on the kind of situation you mentioned, but it's not that hard to see gamblers playing under pressure as well when using their own money, because they are using funds they aren't supposed to lose, since it will be needed later for purchasing food, paying bills and other basic stuff for the family. At the beginning of the gambling session there isn't much pressure, as expectations and hopes are intact. But as the playing session goes by, and loss streaks are faced, the tension increases and the gambler feels cornered, with only one thought in mind: I can't leave with less money than I started...

This mindset is destructive and leads the individual to even further losses. From high hopes and expectations he goes to fear of the consequences of reaching home without any penny on his pockets, what will inevitably turn the wife against him full of complaints, while children cry on the background. Each bet moves him closer to the hell, and since he is aware about it, the situation becomes even more chaotic inside his mind.

Pressure is a clear signal something is going wrong... It's the body and the mind warning you about a dangerous situation, something potentially harmful which should be avoided. It's a defensive mechanism which shouldn't be neglected. It just doesn't worth putting yourself in a suffering situation like that. If gambling isn't being a peaceful and relaxing activity anymore, stop it immediately for you own good!

That is correct. It's pretty possible to gamble every day and still have a functional life. However, gambling belongs to leisure activities, what means the person will have to give up on another pleasant activities he enjoys, such as watching series and TV, playing videogames, going out with family and friends. Otherwise, he won't have enough time to do everything, and then his routine isn't going to be functional anymore. If the individual is willing to do this replacement, then it's fine to gamble everyday, but if he wants to do everything I mentioned everyday, then I think we have a problem!

A problem which will start affecting his social and familiar relationships, his performance at the work and consequently his finances. Anyway, it will happen just in case the person fails scheduling all his appointments precisely, or when using gambling as escapism. However, by paying attention to his actions it shouldn't be so hard to control himself in real time to not let things go out of control.

Thinking about this point specifically, it gives us a good reason to not completely ignore other people's opinions about our gambling habits. If we are going too far with our bets and losing money we shouldn't be losing, people around are probably willing to help through advices. In case we don't care about what they are telling, says more about the addicted gambler himself than the people who are advising him, as it's also a serious symptom presented by addicted individuals. They think to be right all the time and don't accept the fact they are suffering from an addiction.

Probably the NFT usage would be its introduction to the game they are developing... So the NFT represents your avatar or skin in the game. At least, that is what I understood. If it's not the case, then this NFT has no reason to exist at all. I think it must be pretty possible to trade the NFT without trading the physical toy within it. To tie both things wouldn't make sense from a commercial point of view, since it totally nukes international trades, and considering crypto industry works in global scale, bringing the whole world together, it would be out of the way for someone in US to sell the NFT to someone in India, for an example.

Do you have any friends or relatives who could help you, at least to talk and to stay with you during the harsh moments? It could help a lot, but first of all you have to have a legit desire from the bottom of you heart to stop gambling and to overcome this addiction.

Then I suggest you excluding every accounts you have at casinos. Identify what motivated you to gamble the first time you did, and then look for another means to fulfill those same expectations you had regards gambling. Try to find alternative activities you could practice that are pleasant and rewarding (not financially, but emotionally), probably something you were used to do before you developed the addiction.

Occupy your mind with another subjects, hobbies, interests... You life can't be summarized to gambling. There must be another stuff you enjoy which will make you happy. When you feel the urge to gamble, just think that by doing this you will be losing money. Don't give yourself the right to think there is a possibility of making profit. Due to the current stage you have reached, for you this possibility just doesn't exist!

People usually have the illusion that by saving money they are making a great deal, while in fact, the truth is that to save is nearly to useless when thinking on achieving financial progress in life. An independent middle class citizen, without the burden of a family on his back, can save enough money to buy the car of his dreams or the property he always desired living on, since he is commited to these goals, making a lot of effort and cuts on his expenses in order to accumulate enough money for that.

It's not easy, but not impossible, anyway. However, even though the system allows him to achieve those purchases, it doesn't allow him to maintain the patrimony and vehicle, because to possess such goods, someone has to pay yearly taxes to the government. The more expensive your car is, the higher the tax you are going to pay. The more expensive your house is and the best localized it is, the higher will be the tax to be paid.

To have to pay an annual tax for something you own and paid with your own money to possess is ridiculous...

This evil rigged system never allows a middle class hard working person to reach too further on improving his life standards. If he doesn't have a large income, he won't reach anywhere. To be a disciplined saver along decades of his life isn't enough.

Moral of the story: don't save money for more than one month. As soon as you accumulated some amount of fiat, put it into an investment and make it generate passive income for you, although you should avoid banking investments, since they usually pay below the inflation. Go for Bitcoin and assets when there isn't enough money to invest in something bigger. There is no assurance you will defeat the evil rigged system which smash common citizens, but at least you will be trying to overcome it...

Argentina won 2022 Qatar World Cup mainly because of Messi. He was the decisive factor which made the dream of the argentinian nation become true. But for 2026 it's another story... We don't know yet if Messi is going to play, and even if he does, he will be older and his performance is expected to decrease by there. And without him it's not likely the argentinian national team can win the World Cup. Actually, the soccer industry claims for a new generation of titans, as the current ones are already getting old and retiring themselves from the fields.

A good coach is important, but it's not a decisive factor, anyway. The next World Cup seems to be a very unpredictable one. There are opportunities for every national teams to rise up and impress the world with their skills. Even a stable team without any specific stars can shine, because the old titans aren't the same anymore.

About partnerships, FUN has created (or is going to create) a 20M fund for up to 40 startups (500K FUN for each) interested in adopting FUN into their ecosystems. It was announced on their last roadmap, which I guess is going to take place in 2024. You can watch it at their youtube channel, where there are also another videos which may interest potential and current FUN investors:

FUN Token Roadmap Announcement (Very professional AI presentation, by the way).

If FUN isn't able to follow Bitcoin's increasements in price (percentually), it's possible we see FUN dropping to 10 satoshis or less... That would be very unfortunate, though.

This writing is about money, not gambling. And it says about serving money, while it doesn't condemn the usage and persuit of money by human beings. Solely by gambling or by looking for means to thrive financially in life doesn't mean we are serving money, but that we are making money to serve us on our needs aiming life quality and personal development.

Everything in excess and without rules ruin your spirit and lead to social and economical issues. Even good things God created can ruin us if we don't know how to use them, as they were supposed to be used in first place. Sex is an example of that.

Free individuals should make use of their free will to walk through the paths which will bring healthy and uplifting consequences for their lives, without becoming slaves of religions, which have as goal to shear the natural inclinations of the spirit, through the dogmas they perpetrate on people's minds. These dogmas just kill the natural inclinations of the spirit for self-realization, while at same time we don't even have sure if such dogmas are really demanded by God.

Of course a new FUN token ATH is not possible anymore, and as far as I know it was 0,19$, not 0,33$... Supply is just too high for a demand which doesn't exist at all. We have to be realistic about it. Scarcity plays a big role in pushing prices upside on long run. It's one of the reasons why Bitcoin performs so well along the years.

If we check the charts, we will see FUN has been stable near 0,004$-0,007$ since 2018, with the exception of 2021's bullish run, which boosted its price to almost 0,05$ (the resistance level). It's hard to assume if a similar fluctuation will happen on the next bull season, but it would be great if we could see FUN at least doubling its current price in satoshis. From 15 satoshis right now to 30 satoshis should be already considered a big victory for investors, having in mind there is a constant flux of FUN tokens dropped on the market through interest paid at premium freebitco.in's program and Binance staking program.

These are very good questions you have developed to ask yourself continuously in a daily basis in order to spot possible disfunctional behaviors being developed inside your self regards your gambling habits. By doing this, you are actually evolving your self-knowledge skills. You are understanding and knowing better how the personal and subjective interaction between body and soul (or mind) work. Problems start in mind, and only after they manifest on the body.

What happens is that most people don't pay attention to problems when they are being built exclusively on the mental sphere during their initial state, rather they only spot something is going wrong when such problems are already manifested on the body, through excessive sweat, headaches, trembling, heart acceleration... And then these symptoms affect the mind even more, creating further negative symptoms, until the organism reaches a total breakdown point.

We have to monitor ourselves and make sure things are not going out of control, so we can remain closer as possible to a homeostatic level of wellfare. Besides the points you made on your post, I would also add another one: do I keep thinking about gambling when people are talking to me about general subjects? Is it affecting my concentration and focus on another activities, due to being unable to stop thinking about gambling meanwhile?

People do this because they are scammers. They want to earn money in illegitimate and disgusting ways. The practice of forging accusations against someone or against a service is mainly used by blackmailers, people who attempt to make profit by asking money to stay quiet. While their target doesn't pay them, they continue spreading lies and negative reviews in order to destroy the reputation of their targets. So these people who are attacked may feel cornered and oppressed by such accusations, and to get rid of them as faster as possible, they do as the blackmailers ask.

At least, that is what these scums expect to happen. But on internet it's not so easy for scammers to succeed on this field... It uses to be more effective for scammers when this practice is executed in real world, as the threats seem more damaging and may go beyond destroying reputations, but also causing physical harm, therefore the mental pressure and torture is much more intense over the victims.

In fact, this practice has been really common at children and teenagers' schools, executed by bullies, who blackmailed and humiliated others in public to get what they want from them and build their own reputations as bad guys who nobody could confront.

It's always very nice to hear positive experiences from gamblers about their winnings, which helped them to acquire enough money to start a business or achieve a dream they were wishing for so long. I believe the best side of the stories isn't the fact of eaning a large sum of money, but the decision they made in using that money for purposeful improvements in their personal lives.

Sometimes people are hopeless, they don't know what to do anymore to improve their life status and reach a more comfortable lifestyle. It seems all they have tried has failed along the years, so the luck factor is very important in these cases to give a boost, to raise their moral and confidence, consequently making them believe things can get better, when they least expect. In few cases I agree with you: gambling, an activity heavily influenced by the luck factor, can help to restore hope which has been lost for so long...

However, we shouldn't count on this as our last salvation plan. If something good has to come through gambling, let it happen naturally. Never force anything on this matter. Never act irresponsibly expecting positive outcomes from your desperate actions.

I understand when you say it's a taboo topic, because many young people are getting introduced to gambling nowadays through virtual sports betting casinos, and since these youngsters are still newbies on this matter, they don't have any experience, besides having distorted expectations regards gambling, what inevitably has brought losses for many of them. Therefore, regulators, parents, authorities are concerned about gamblers' routine. Some people turned against online casinos full of angry claiming they make huge profit over the misery of their sons and brothers.

These people are so hostile towards gambling, that a reasonable conversation seems to not be even possible right now. They remove all the responsabilities from gamblers and put them entirely over casinos and gambling exclusively. So, it's really not a good idea to talk about your gambling experience anywhere. To avoid an unnecessary quarrel is the best you can do.
