I don't bother to keep any money in the banks again until I need fiat that I want to spend on something or buy food items, all I care about is eating food and investing my money that's why I invest almost all the money I made from my business into Bitcoin and few other crypto projects, I am fine with living this way, some food to keep living and make more money to invest for my own better future.

I strongly believe that this is one of the ways I can get things done in life, I decide to start and finish my own house in two years from now and I will be doing this with part of my investment, I am excited to see how this will turn out in two years time and mind you, if things go wrong I can always restart, it's part of life and mine is adventurous to me that's why I like doing this.

Nothing from this guy should be taken seriously, with the way he condemned gambling once it is enough to make him quit and never come back and soon he created another topic about making a comeback, you lose all and you win all, which one of these stories are legit? It's very hard to believe any of your stories.

Unless you have learned something after all, gambling is not something you should do everyday, if you find yourself gambling everyday you are already an addicted to gambling, if you must gamble you need to think about your life first, think about a way that gambling won't take away your happiness and that way is by using what wont hurt you to gamble, there is no other way than this.

I am a fashion designer and I own a tailoring center too, it would have been better if the shop belongs to you, it makes less sense if the shop belongs to your mother because how will she accept something she knows nothing about? I am guessing she is an older woman, I bet that she will say no to this if you tell her about your plan and I don't blame her.

Older people finds Bitcoin too complicated, they can't even make transaction from one bank account into another without their sons or daughter standing next to them to put them through and we all know that Bitcoin is different.  

What do you expect her to do after receiving Bitcoin in a wallet? Can she send to exchange and trade? Do not Stress your mom, it's not as if she will make double gains accepting Bitcoin in her business, what is her gaining doing it?

If the shop is yours then you can, I am accepting Bitcoin because I want part of my money in Bitcoin anyway, I am a long term holder too and I also want to create awareness.

Think about it very well, it's better if its your business.

If you like, use the best calculator ever built for Dice you will still lose money, I don't think I will ever need such a calculator because for what exactly? This is gambling, it's you against your luck 🐎 🎲  🎱.

Why not take the part of using what you can in a week to gamble and stay with this? The lower the money you use to gamble the better you will feel instead of losing a big amount of money that will give you pain every time you remember, and it could possibly trigger you to try to recover what you've lost.

In gambling, the best formula is to gamble what you can afford to lose until you hit it big later, so gamble safely until then.

You can still invest in Bitcoin as a student, I have cousins that are still in school and all they have is their pocket money and food stocks, they don't have any other jobs that can bring the source of income, I told them about Airdrops and they have time for it, today they already made good amount of money from airdrops and they are now smart investors, the last Airdrops that paid them very well is Pulsechain PLS and Arbitrum ARB, they even showed me some love by sending some Arbitrum Tokens to my wallet.

You can still be able to get money to invest in Bitcoin through participation of Airdrops and new projects Testnets, many Twitter channels and accounts give free guides about Testnets, and many lives are getting affected for the better.

If my cousins can do it, you have no excuse as a student.

There are some people that you can't ask them to come live with you because you want to help them battle their gambling addiction, it depends on their age and if they are still very young it could be possible, gambling addictions are also on different levels, someone who was influenced by friends is different from someone who was born in a family of gamblers, the battle to stop their addictions will be different and more harder too.

I have a brother (just family friend) who mingled with these type of friends from a very small age around 8 years old till 24yrs old and now that he is an addict we are forced to change his location and get him a job and thins went on for two years and one day he just vanished, we thought something bad happened to him so we headed to the police station, to cut my story short, he went back to that state to get back with his friends and all the money he had gathered for the past years was wasted on gambling, not too long he was shot dead by cultists, that's when we knew he was a member of the evil fraternity all along.

Some addictions can be stopped by the person if they are determined to stop it themselves, in this world, so many people don't even know where they belong, they don't know what they want in life, they are just among the living is all.

I knew this is coming anyway but I like how Elon Musk slowed the whole process down because he knows much about the crypto market himself,  I bet if this is really coming it will be when the market is gearing up for another bull run, that man is a smart one, his timing is always perfect.

I could say it's a good news but it's not the type that brings hype or will bring hype into crypto market, it's something that will become effective only if it's implemented and working, it's really not something so crazy but I'm excited for it anyway.

If the workers are the ones to display the scores for everyone to see I won't play such game in a casino, even if it's always the house that wins I prefer a game of luck that gives me my result itself, I am not into Virtual but any game where the gambler won't see the result insta with his eye but relies on what the screen score will display is nonsense.

Sports results or scores can't be tampered, for example a soccer game or basketball and many others, they can't fake the scores without you know, if not instantly you will know few minutes after.

There is no way the data on this gambling addict can be accurate anymore because we now have online gambling, if someone messed up his life through gambling it could be hidden and the person can pretend like nothing happened, and if friends and family ask questions he can easily lied that financial crises took place and he lost some money in an investment that was supposed to work out fine.

Some people can't withstand losing a lot of money and everyone around them will know that they lost money in gambling while some know how to hide their shit, they will smile at people's faces and cry in their closets.

Advice #1 : Diversify

Bitcoin is a must have for all crypto investors for many reasons but I can't lie to you mate, altcoins have given me more profits in this bear market than Bitcoin, I made 10x in this bear market from a AI project and I took my profit, leaving behind few thousands tokens for long term hold and I use the profit to buy more Bitcoin.

It's not wrong to have some altcoins in your wallet, that's the best strategy, always have few altcoins and let your main focus be on Bitcoin itself, I have 9 altcoins in my wallet and Bitcoin is my biggest holding, and if any pump happens among these altcoins I will take profit and use it to buy more Bitcoin.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.


Advice #2 : Wallet

I don't like that you are using a half-open-source and half-closed-source wallet for storing your Bitcoin, I don't even know which is which with Trust wallet, some are saying it's fully closed source and some said partially but it means it's not completely open source and that's why I will like you to think twice and use a non- custodial open source wallet.

Use Electrum for storing your Bitcoin and use Unstoppable Wallet for your other altcoins like Ethereum Erc20 or BRC-20 token.

Not entirely true, Bitcoin is friendly to no nation because it's decentralized and in a world where the government rules Bicoin is automatically a threat, but thank God that Nakamoto doesn't made Bitcoin a privacy digital currency, this could give them the reason to never unlift the bans on Bitcoin.

As for Mixers, I don't buy your point of exaggeration from the government, if any one wants to embezzle dirty money Mixers can get the job done easily, if anyone is trying to fund some terrorist groups Mixers can make this easy too, so why are you saying that exaggerated the whole thing?

Are we going to stick with the fact that not all Mixer users are criminals? Well that's right but at the same time how are we sure that crime organizations aren't using Mixers too? If you are the leader of a country and you want peace for your country, isn't Mixers something to watch out for? The ability of Mixers are scary in a part too.

Fortunately, freebitco is the only faucet/gambling platform that still works very well till today and there aren't many like it that still functioning right now, but I want you to know that you will end up wasting months and time to reach your withdrawal limit on the platform, it's not worth it because of the tinny sats you will make every hour, you will get bored pretty fast too.

Instead of devoting a lot of my time to faucets, I will rather spend the same time on incentive airdrops like Starknet, Mantle Network, Linea, and others that have officially announced their upcoming airdrops and use the few dollars you will earn to buy Bitcoin, this is a good way for someone who doesn't have money to start their Bitcoin journey right now.

I'm against loan myself but some people just can't survive without it, I have a friend who start a business using a loan and also complete his new house using a loan, it's been helpful for his journey so far but I wonder what his state of mind will be, I always find myself worrying too much when I am in any form of debt, I don't like it and it always take my sleep away, I wonder how those who are used to loans are able to sleep in the nights.

The creepy part is once you start using the loan for everything in your life you will get addicted to it and yes it's true that you will always be in debt throughout the days of your life and if you die your property might be seized or your children might be the ones to start paying back what you owe.

So what are we going to do about it? Can you control the minds of millions of people that are using crypto exchanges? Even with the crazy crashes happening with centralized exchnages these peole are not ready to take responsibility of their assets themselves.

Imagine people telling you that they still keep their Bitcoin on Coinbase in 2023, some people trust others easily and its the same with entrusting their assets with centralized exchanges.

Sam Bankmanfried or whatever his name is failed many but he is not CZ, or Brain Armstrong, this is the type of excuse you will be hearing from people, some are so lazy that they don't want to hold Bitcoin in a wallet that they control, they want others to control it for them, so that they can blame them easily if something happens to their Bitcoin.

Aside from traders using exchanges for trading, some prefer leaving their assets on exchanges than keeping their assets themselves. 

I don't see any reason to quit gambling, because I am in a good shape with gambling, I don't go over my boundaries and as a long-term crypto investor I know how to manage risks, if gambling have somehow destroy your plan and your future it's your fault, it's probably because you are too greedy or you want to use gambling as your source of income stream which is impossible, we have good days and bad days, this is also the same thing when gambling, know and understand yourself, you will be able to handle your gambling desires and you will be able to limit your risks too.

I don't do sports betting more than Slots games, I don't have the time to work on analysis and other things, I was originally not a fan of football and I am just getting used to the sport, I like playing slots every Sundays and I use small amount of money, to gamble and try my luck, so that's once in a week.

There are times where I make more money than I expected and I take some to play Slots within the week, my strategy is never to use large amount of money and never to expect anything when gambling, I just relax and say, lets see how this will go today.

I believe this is why I never feel hurt when I lose the money, because 20$ to 30$ in a week for gambling is far more affordable for me and I don't ever use more than this amount.

Crypto gambling and casinos was well hidden to someone like myself, in the past years the only valid gambling platform I know is freebitco and that's because of their free faucet, if not I wouldn't know that such a platform existed.

Coming on this forum and seeing some high rank members promoting casinos was what makes me to be curious about using crypto to gamble online, and I started my gambling journey through Roobet at first then I started trying others out too.

I think the level of casino advertisement online right now is still well hidden and not available everywhere online, you will have to develop gambling interest in mind before you go looking for one yourself, that's how we'll hidden gambling ads are online, it could be different based on location maybe, I don't know.

This is why my mind is on the year 2025, because I believe that's when BTc will make a new all time high again, but still I have a very disciplined mind here, we can be expecting a price surge in November 2023 and another big pump happen, many people who aren't disciplined enough will probably lose the zeal to carry on.

Either ways, it will still favor someone like myself because I see every Bitcoin movement, either up or down as an opportunity, it's going to be a good future I believe.

It's funny how some.comments are referring to casinos cheating too so there is nothing wrong if you cheat back? Like who is cheating who? You knew this all along and you still decide to gamble on the casinos? I think that's the most lame excuse I've heard this far.

You guys are just trying to justify your point that stealing and cheating is not that bad, what is bad has no other names, it's called BAD, and stealing is stealing, there is no good stealing and bad stealing, if someone cheats you or steal from you, you don't do the same back to make it look justified, you either get them arrested or you go through a lawful process to get your justice back.

If you think or believe that casinos are robbing people, you should stop using any to gamble and find something else, do not say that they are robbing you after you have lost many rounds of your bets, that's an impoverished point.

Your fund remain secured with us, that is a big fat lie.

That's so funny, it was what how I trusted my Bitcoin and other to free wallet some years back and I learned the hard way, this is so funny, I am not surprised that people still believe in such a statement, whenever I read such online I always laugh.

You know what's best for yourself, entrusting money to even your own family and friends brings forth betrays and you entrusting your assets in the hands of people who you've never even meet for once is the craziest of all, if FTX hasn't changed the way people look and judge centralized exchanges then people will never wake up.
