961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should Casinos Sponsor Sites That Deals With Gambling Addiction on: November 19, 2023, 04:03:44 PM

pretty sure governments still tax casinos even if they require them by law to donate to charities, tax revenue from casinos is no joke, I doubt governments will pass the chance on getting money from casinos, especially on how big the revenue they bring in each year.

The government of many countries getting taxes from the gambling sites where the gambling was the legal one.So the government itself sponsor the gambling addicted person to get away from the gambling addiction.The gambling addiction can be cured only by the acceptence of the gambler to the game.After some losses the gambler will start to do the target of their gambling loss,this was the prime reason for the gambling addiction.So the gambler should start to control the deposit of the dollars to the gambling site and only fix the certain amount of the gambling site for certain period of time.Mostly the gambler can do the fixed deposit for the week and don't get into the daily based.Because it was not easy to control the deosit for the day time period when the gambler at the gambling addiction.

It’s called sin tax in my country. Government is not directly sponsoring it that’s why there’s always a disclaimer for any advertisement which gambling is involved. They are just allowing it because people keeps doing it illegally which is more dangerous because it’s not moderated.

We all know that the real problem here is the gambler itself. Even without license, advertisement and other things that will allow casino to operate. There will still a lot of illegal operations open in discreet location because people seek this kind of activity themselves. This is why responsible gambling is a must.
As I mentioned before that casinos are businesses and not people, and usually businesses don't care about anything and they love addicts because they are the ones who make casinos profitable.
So this addiction problem depends on the gamblers themselves and they definitely know the risks of gambling and must anticipate before becoming addicted what they must instill in themselves, and the government also doesn't seem to care about this. Especially in countries that prohibit gambling activities. Because they know the reasons why banning gambling causes addiction, it can even lead to crime and even suicide because of gambling.
962  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: November 19, 2023, 03:06:15 PM
I was thinking new kind of plan to buy bitcoin every month from my salary immediately my company paids me but I still have other responsibilities to carry with family so am skeptical about it especially now that the price has no direction. If can afford storing every month in a long run I may realizes half of bitcoin unit and that's a big achievement to buy but to you is funny because you have enough of it. So advise me on what to do! Should I hold on because of the instabilities in price? Or I should buy and store? Over to you
You have a better plan for Bitcoin than not having any plan for Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is the best choice for us to have and to help our finances and also for a much better future.
And my advice, in your situation, because you have to help the family financially or whatever. It's best to prioritize your family, your important needs and other needs for one month after getting a salary from your job. And with all that, you can learn and help manage your finances well because it's part of investing, you can also save on expenses and limit what is important and what is not important for you to buy. Apart from your needs, your family, and also for investment.
Invest within your means once you have prioritized what is important, and if you have extra money, whatever the amount, you can buy Bitcoin or you can set a benchmark to invest 20% to 10% in Bitcoin every month. And if you want, you should look for additional income or a side job to help your finances so that you can do everything well because it looks like you are still young and can still do this. Because that's the only thing that can help you, so you can meet your needs, your family, and also invest. For now you can do it according to your abilities and if there is an opportunity or desire you should have additional income, and this is all to help your finances and also your future and also invest in Bitcoin for the long term.
963  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Altcoins on: November 19, 2023, 01:55:05 PM
Bitcoin is the most famous cryptocurrency and also the first decentralized cryptocurrency in the world, and has strong brand recognition among investors and the general public because they will know Bitcoin first before getting to know altcoins.
Bitcoin and altcoins are highly volatile currencies, but altcoins are often more volatile than Bitcoin, which can pose significant risks for investors. However altcoins will be most profitable for those who have skill and intelligence in terms of pum and dum and are also easy to manipulate, and just by buying and selling at the right time they will make huge profits. If you are late you will experience losses, and this often happens to altcoins, in fact many altcoins end up being fraudulent, especially new altcoins.
And in my opinion, a very safe and low risk option is Bitcoin and this is mainly for long term investment. And Bitcoin has a good track record when it comes to long-term investments that will give you satisfying profits if it always accumulates every time Bitcoin goes down.
964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: November 18, 2023, 06:00:45 PM
In fact, there are still many elderly people who still gamble. And I saw that they really enjoyed gambling games and played casually. In my opinion there is no age limit (except underage) for gambling, and as long as they can do it and enjoy gambling games, in my opinion there is no problem. And it seems like they play just for entertainment and to fill their old age, with sufficient capital.
And I personally will stop gambling when I feel bored and turn to other games, or other things to entertain myself in my old age.
965  Economy / Economics / Re: Imaginary Future on: November 18, 2023, 10:20:38 AM
Actually it all depends on our position when saving and investing, and I do both and prioritize the investments I plan for the future and also when I really need them and use them according to my needs.
I already have a family, of course the needs of married people and single people are very different, especially in terms of their needs. And I'm not very frugal with money and I always put my family's needs first, and if it will make them happy, I will do it because I want them to be happy. Because I make money for them, and this is also important for the future and I think this should be balanced and also supported by income.
966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: November 18, 2023, 03:47:23 AM
Yes, it should still be done with the aim of having fun and without the desire to chase the win. However, people who want to fund their gambling do not need to do so with a lot of money and only enough because whatever it is, a person will not always be able to win because this is gambling. If he can understand this and the people he wants to fund also understand, he cannot ask for more than he can afford. Only some people can accept loss well and give up the money used to fund someone because someone will ask for their money back. We also have to see who the person is first if we really want to try the abilities of someone who asks to be funded.
Yes, we cannot carelessly fund a gambler we don't know even if we know that person, but we also have to see whether he is more professional or just gambling recklessly.
It's true that we fund using a small amount, but if when we fund someone who is wrong, of course we will also think about the money lost in vain, even though later when funding more professional people will also lose, but at least in managing the bets they are not careless but it would be better not to have to fund anyone just use the money you can afford to lose to gamble yourself.
People who fund gamblers to gamble are people who purely want to win without doing it, but it's not that easy. Especially with people we don't know and also don't know the traces of that person's gambling, and that is very risky.
And if someone wants to do this, it's best to find out the trace or ask directly as proof that the person is an expert at gambling and always wins.
And what we have to realize is, if the person is an expert and always wins at gambling, why should they be funded? Because if that's true, why doesn't he do it himself with his own capital so that he can fully own his winnings, and the question is why does he need other people's funds to gamble and this is definitely an important question. Because the person does not have the funds to gamble and only relies on or looks for people who want to fund it.
And if it were me, I wouldn't do it because I want to gamble alone with enough capital just to have fun and enjoy the game.
967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a gambler be a good bitcoin trader? on: November 18, 2023, 02:13:48 AM
It seems like the OP's question was not intended to differentiate between gambling and trading, but rather whether a gambler can be a good Bitcoin trader.
Of course you can, but it all depends on the gambler's attitude and track record when gambling, because gambling and trading almost involve a lot of emotions, patience and self-control more than anything else. These three things will determine the final result and you must also have the ability to analyze the market and also read the game in gambling.
If we discuss risk, it is clear that both have a high level of risk of loss if they do not have the relevant skills and knowledge. So both can be done based on the analytical abilities, skills and knowledge that both must have and must also be able to control themselves and their emotions when gambling and must also know how to buy and sell again at the right time when trading.

In fact mathematics always plays a role in gambling, good gamblers don't just rely on luck because mathematics can create opportunities to win consistently.
And most gamblers use mathematics to calculate the odds of winning and money management to maximize wins and minimize losses. And it's not that gamblers who play without math won't win. They will definitely get lucky, but they will likely lose more than they win. And those who use mathematics will win more than they will lose, but still the house will always win over those who play without mathematics, self-control and also chasing losses.
970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the minimum amount of bitcoin or satoshi should hold for poor? on: November 17, 2023, 03:47:53 PM
You decide for yourself and it depends on how much risk you want to take, and if you want to buy bitcoin, buy according to your means and if you feel unable or poor you can also buy it in small amounts. Bitcoin has the smallest unit called the satoshi, because with this satoshi you can buy Bitcoin at a cheaper price according to your abilities.
It's up to you and others, but if you're very poor, it's better to prioritize your needs, especially food. Because investment is only intended for those who have money and are able to bear losses or remaining money that is not actually needed, and the majority of very poor people do not have it.

972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you want to play on casinos without KYC requirements? on: November 16, 2023, 06:21:38 PM
KYC (know your customer) can indeed help identify and prevent illegal activities such as money laundering by criminal elements, terrorism financing and so on, and that is a reason that may make sense.
However, most gamblers don't like KYC because they are worried that their identity will be misused and it makes them feel uncomfortable because anything can happen and with this they anticipate and try as much as possible not to avoid it.
And I am not against regulations using KYC, and I will also continue to use gambling platforms without KYC because and whatever the reason, I don't want undesirable things to happen.
973  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? on: November 16, 2023, 03:30:20 PM
When the role of the government cannot be expected or the welfare of the people cannot be handled by the government, each individual must rely on themselves to get out of poverty. Not all people receive government assistance, there are those whose personal data is manipulated by relevant officials to divert aid to other parties, there are also those who escape government monitoring.
When prices of basic commodities continue to increase but your income is still limited, you must have side income to maintain financial stability. Never hope or depend on the government for the problems you are facing, you must rely on yourself to overcome the inflationary pressure that is occurring in your country.
The government cannot bear all the poverty of its people and that is what we have to understand, and the problem of social assistance from the government for the poor is often not on target and this problem will continue to occur. Because those who are recorded as poor and over time become rich or middle class, still get it and there are also individuals who manipulate officials who prioritize large families and local communities, resulting in aid being misdirected and not rotating.
So it's best not to expect too much from government assistance because the things I mentioned often happen. And in this case we must be able to learn to be independent to be able to meet our needs by increasing our income and having a side job or additional income and also saving on expenses that we have to incur in the current situation. Because that way we will get used to it, and when the economy recovers we will be able to save for important needs, from our habits due to work or side income and this must continue to be done so that we can continue to live peacefully.
974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to bitcoin price if Solar superstorm 'wipe out the internet'? on: November 16, 2023, 02:06:15 PM
Solar storms are a phenomenon that can cause and this phenomenon will cause electricity and internet outages. So if the internet around the world goes down, we will only face a temporary disruption in Bitcoin, but we will most likely face other problems if that happens because electricity and internet are essential needs for all humanity and even then they will not last long.
And our Bitcoins will remain on the blockchain and once the electricity and internet come back on and some nodes start up and we can use them again as usual. So in my opinion there is no problem and there is no need to be afraid, because this phenomenon is only temporary. Grin
975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning big amount after watching streamer on: November 16, 2023, 01:15:27 PM
What the hell. Congratulations on your big win. That was a big win. I have never had it before and you are one of the lucky people who got that great luck. Buying the Bonus Buy feature is what I often use to shorten my gambling time but it is very rare for me to get such a big multiplier. But I don't watch streamers because I'm worried that I'll get triggered into trying it and if I can't stop it, I'll definitely lose more money. I'd rather play slots as usual and just wait for my lucky time to come. It's okay if I lose this time because another day, I can definitely win.
Of course it was a big win and maybe it was his luck because no one knows when he will get lucky, and as OP said he is not a fan of slot games but slots gave him luck via video streamer. And it was just a coincidence because luck was on his side.
Indeed, watching streamers can fuel a person's ambition to continue playing and cause him to lose more money, and it depends on the person. However, playing any kind of gambling as usual according to our abilities is much better than following other people's methods or watching streamers because if it doesn't meet expectations then we will hate it.
I pray that you soon have the same luck that OP experienced, and always play with money you can afford to lose, and also play responsibly.

Don't be too confident in trading because trading is not an easy job to get good profits, especially if you are a beginner.
And all you have to do initially is just educate yourself how to make profitable trades and in general how to buy low and sell high at the right time, and you also have to learn the factors involved in trading. And don't just look for information, because information can still be manipulated.
Because it's harder than it sounds if you've never done it before.
Unless you intend to invest, that means you are not trading. But that's a very different question but investing is better than trading, in terms of trading time, you should have a lot of free time to do it compared to investing.
978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I go with Bitcoin or Altcoins for the upcoming bull run cycle? on: November 15, 2023, 09:28:28 AM
As we have a halving year ahead, Bitcoin will be the best investment. Moreover, the best currency to hold Bitcoin is the most profitable in Bitcoin compared to all other altcoins. Most of them turn out to be scams but Bitcoin will never be a scam and it is the most profitable and risk free. Risky investment is altcoin which can lose you money, but if you invest in bitcoin it will give you profit. However Bitcoin is best for long term investment, but altcoin investment is always risky so it is best and wise to invest in Bitcoin for next bull season.

Bitcoin is considered the best investment in the market because it is quite a safe investment and brings significant profits. But saying that bitcoin is the most profitable and risk-free investment is an exaggeration and a lie. No investment offers high returns without risk, we are bitcoin investors but we need to be realistic. There is no need to lie to deceive others nor does it make bitcoin better. I was once considered a fraud for saying that bitcoin is risk-free and profitable when giving advice to a person. That's unnecessary exaggeration.
You are right, and it is true that Bitcoin is very exciting and has tremendous profit potential, but make sure you understand the risks that come with it, and also have knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin can indeed provide big profits, but it also has big risks and no investment is free from risk, and if there were no risks, maybe everyone would not experience losses.
And the general risk of Bitcoin is that high volatility by definition makes Bitcoin risky, apart from regulation, Bitcoin is also still vulnerable to fraud and hackers and other risks.
979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 15, 2023, 03:54:42 AM
After watching many matches involving various clubs, I can make an informed guess about the champion for the 2023/2024 championship, Manchester City boasts talented players and an awesome coach. Their consistent performance each year reinforces my belief that they will victorious but Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal need to give more effort to compete at the same level.

More have been focused on all the big clubs in the Premier League, Man city are the Kings everyone knows that for sure,  Liverpool have won the league in the last three years they are a big side. Chelsea is the most decorated side in Europe from premier league we all know these. But no comments has been made about Aston Villa since the take over of Emery.  They have attacked the Premier League and conference league well they may be confirmed winners of the game when they will play facing Tottenham after the country matches.
Paqueta of Brazil has helped West ham too much it is the reason  he was signed since the match against Arsenal in Fa Cup  they have improved.

I actually highly doubt that Aston Villa is going to be able to beat Tottenham in the next match. Even though Tottenham has performed questionably in some recent matches, I think they should be able to win this match. After all the performance from Tottenham had been good until the last two matches. So if anything they should look at this match and think that this is a great chance for them to get their form back. But at the same time, it is definitely not going to be easy for Tottenham because Aston Villa is performing pretty well in recent times. I think they have actually surprised quite a few people with their performance.

Regards

Duke
Tottenham's match against Aston Villa will be an interesting match because the two are only one point apart in the standings. And I am optimistic that Aston Villa will be able to beat Tottenham at home or at least achieve a draw, because in the last five matches Aston Villa has won three times and Tottenham has won twice.
Even though Tottenham's performance this season is different from last season, Aston Villa is not an easy opponent for Tottenham and Tottenham suffered consecutive defeats in their last two matches. And what is certain is that this match will be very interesting to watch and both of them will definitely have the ambition to get full points, and what is even more interesting. Standings zones 1 to 5 are interesting and very competitive zones because these five teams have the opportunity to move up in position.
980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 15, 2023, 02:02:59 AM
.

I know about a friend who has been on the loosing gambling table but he keep having this interpersonal believe that somedays he would win and when he wins it is going to be a big winning that would pay him off from all he has lost in gambling with an interest and then he would just stop gambling.
That's an addicted or on the road to addiction type of gambler. Most people who lose often are off this mentality because they feel all the stories and news they see online which portray people are actually true, well some are true but making this a base to your upsession will just make things worst because with this kind of mindset, nothing ever plays again in your mind except the winning mentality which is like a dream that might or might not be possible someday.

Not only does it cause addiction, these people usually tend to be unwilling to accept advice, easily stressed, quick-tempered, and frustrated when they don't have the capital to play at the casino.
It is good for gamblers to be optimistic, but optimism alone is not enough if you gamble without having good management. It is important to keep gambling under control. If the person only continues to focus on aiming for big wins but without considering the amount that has been spent in a certain period of time, it will be very dangerous for his mental health.
That is the type of gambler who wants to chase his losses because of his strong belief that he is sure he can recover his losses which makes him always optimistic about continuing to gamble, which actually makes him experience deeper losses.
And a gambler like that can never be given advice because it will only make him angry and all he can think about is how to recover from his losses by getting a big win. It is not easy to chase losses in gambling without having the ability to control oneself, and even if he has the capital to continue gambling, he must be able to manage the right time to gamble and be in an overall good situation when playing. And the most important thing is to play consciously because this can allow you to control yourself and not get caught up in gambling. In gambling we have to be able to master the game, don't let us be controlled by the gambling game because it will make us lose continuously and that is very dangerous.
