Different opinion? I bet no reasonable opinion can be contrary to the DCA investment approach, the only suggestion here will be another investment approach and not the condemnation of the DCA approach as the approach is not the only way out in investment. Aside from this, DCA is a very good investment approach that fits in for the poor, average and the rich, it helps you average both your risk and earning possibilities. Mind you, with this approach, you should know that you would rather be conservative, so the aggressive investors or the most lucky ones might gain more than you, but still, you will average the pains of the bad market behaviours and also average the benefits of the good market behaviours which make the DCA approach unique because either way, you will never miss out.

I only judge gamblers who try to do it as a job. I think these people are a little crazy to choose something for a means to get income where the statistics show that they are likely to lose money. I don’t have any issues with people who gamble with the intent of having a good time. That is what entertainment is all about.

The most unpleasant and dangerous thing for a player is the desire to win back. In my opinion, it is this desire that has ruined most bankrolls. However, there is something similar to winning back - the desire for beautiful profit figures. I recently watched an interview with a bookmaker, where he told an interesting story. There was a certain rich player who won 900 thousand dollars in a series of several bets. It was a great success. It would seem that after such a win, you should definitely fix the profit? But no, this person was overcome by a thirst for profit and for some reason he wanted to bring his winnings to a "round figure" of 1 million dollars. And he bet on all his capital. As a result, he lost all his funds. What does this mean? That you should not strive for beautiful figures.

In many lotteries, especially National ones, there is a condition that the winner must show his face and wave to the camera, holding a check with a huge amount of money won. And it is clear that no one wants such fame throughout the country, because all the poor friends and relatives will hate him, but such conditions are mandatory. After all, the sponsor of the lottery sees this as a huge promotion: all people will imagine themselves in the place of this lucky person and will also go and buy tickets for this lottery.
And the sponsors do not care that they are making life difficult for the winners of this lottery with such an interview.

The latest polls say it's 50.8 vs 49.2 for Harris. Also, the same poll says expected error is 3%, so this could as well be 49 vs 51 for Trump.

The voters are so biased towards one or the other candidate it gets ridiculous. For instance the majority of Black people vote for Harris, even though she's not black, but tells them that she is. Tell me that isn't stupid. Also, most high income people want Harris, even though she wants to raise taxes.

Also. There seems to be whole 4% of people who claim they're right in the political spectrum but will vote for Harris, who is totally on the left. Like why would anybody vote for someone who has completely opposite opinions on everything?

Anyway, the way I see it Trump will eventually win unless they kill him or arrest him for something.

Nobody "invented" gambling!
Gambling took many forms in different parts of the world and appeared in regions unrelated, it spawned from games in some instances and from magical ritual occult stuff in others, making decisions based on luck was a form of gambling and the first traces of it are in the stone age, more than 10k years ago.

The gambler may win some big money in the gambling after some game in the gambling site with some experience.Some claim the winning happened in the slot and blackjack games due to the luck.Day before yesterday,I met my gambling friend who was in gambling over 7 years of time,he said me the game after the experience was based on the tactics and strategy based on the experience.

But my question is many new gamblers also make the huge money after few games.So the new gamblers made the money by luck or experience.My view on the new people is purely based on the luck,because not have huge experience at the initial stage of game.In this we need to consider some experienced gamblers making huge loss again and again after the huge experience because of greedy.Greedy should be avoided to loss the entire capital loss.Share your opinion based on your experience in gambling games.

At first some judge gamblers often and later they become gambling addicts. I found it very serious to be curious and know what may have been their reason for the sudden change of mind. I know that there are difficult times to make money and maintain money, which is a world problem. I have had some thoughts on it and this is what I think may have been the reason.

1. In the beginning they may have been doing well financially and see no reason to gamble, maybe life later on throws them a financial curveball, or perhaps responsibility compels them to look for quick money through gambling. If not attempting gambling was an ethic for them they should have stuck to another alternative why did they choose this one?

2. On second thought. I feel it is the influence and conviction of people around them who are into gambling that made them go into gambling at the end of the day.

However, it is a sad story to see people who cast away gamblers thinking they are irresponsible, and then fund themselves on this same web doing the same thing. It reminds me of how vulnerable humans can be, and that anyone can change habits when a condition falls on them.

Kamala is not that good in debates, unlike some of the other Democrat politicians. And she has already refused to debate Trump once. A debate was set for 4th September, with Fox News being the hosts. Kamala pulled out of it, since she was afraid of facing Trump. But at some point she need to take him heads on. Recent national polls have put Kamala ahead by a whisker (latest one is from ABC News/Ipsos). But that advantage can be lost in a moment, if she refuses to participate in the debates.

Actually in this case there is nothing easy in my opinion because after all even though in simple terms DCA is buying bitcoin consistently in a certain amount but in the end this is also not easy because after all when we do DCA in fact it is not that easy because there must be some considerations and planning that is really mature from the start so that DCA itself is not an easy thing to do and not everyone can do it.

I personally don't really like to think it's easy because in the end, applying the theory of DCA will actually be much more difficult than imagined, especially in maintaining the consistency that we have to do so there is nothing easy in this even though the collection is through DCA.

Whether it is good or bad for society depends on the gambler himself.
If they gamble because they feel the need, or because they expect a big win, or to get extra income and use the money for important needs, then don't gamble.
But if you gamble to relax, have fun, and enjoy the atmosphere just for fun without using important money, I think it's okay and go ahead if it will make you happy. In addition, there are limits that you must avoid and also know, especially limiting the amount of money you bet when gambling.
However, gambling will still be looked down upon by society. Because most people gamble just to make money that makes them lose control when gambling and destroys them, and that makes society judge gambling as a bad thing which is actually the gambler's fault.

Recently I heard an interesting and relevant expression: "a gambler does not suffer, he enjoys, and his relatives suffer."
On the one hand, I agree with these words, because if a gambler continues to play and continue his problematic path of gambling, then he clearly likes it.
But on the other hand, we have all heard many times that every gambler says that his personality is split into two - the old personality and the problem player. Therefore, I think that gamblers also suffer.

Keeping children away from gambling is usually the best way, because if children are involved in gambling while they are learning, the future of that child is bleak.  Because generally before 18 years of age every child's education is most important for his knowledge acquisition, and gambling addiction is the person who has seen someone gambling before. Because if there is no gambler in your family then there will never be a gambling addict in that family. Because children usually learn politeness first from their parents, and if instead of politeness they get a sense of gambling then that child will definitely show the will to gamble.  So I think it is most important to take care of yourself before taking care of children.

DCA is a suitable strategy for Bitcoin accumulation and for those who want to hold Bitcoin for the long term. DCA is an effective strategy for those who do not have the ability to invest large sums of money at once or those who, despite having the money, are not willing to take the investment risk. As such, it will help an investor to buy bitcoins regularly as well as bring the difference between the buying and selling of bitcoins to a tolerable level. A low income to high income person will have the opportunity to collect bitcoins using this strategy. There is a thread on the forum Buy the DIP, and HODL! for those who want to know about DCA. By reading this thread carefully one can get more knowledge about this method.

Congestion only becomes a problem when the underlying blockchain network experiences a surge in popularity. Stablecoins are expensive on the main Ethereum blockchain. But not on L2 networks or highly-scalable L1s like Solana and BSC. The biggest downside of most stablecoins is not network congestion, but rather privacy/freedom. The vast majority of them are highly-centralized. Even Tether and USD Coin have a "blacklist" feature.

Gambling with truly-decentralized stablecoins like DAI and USDD is becoming scarce these days. If you only want convenience, then choose a centralized stablecoin instead. Fiat is even worse, imo. To each, their own currency of preference. At least we know the gambling industry won't be going away soon.

It's essential to improve upon the mistakes made and, going into future sessions, take action with responsibility at hand. Adaption is the thing we are known for, after all

Yes, it is possible.
Control and discipline is something that is not easy to have especially in gambling where urges happen all the time. The urge to play more after a win, the urge to deposit more when you lose, and the urge to chase the losses which I think is the worst of all.

Making withdrawals is a good way to tell ourselves that we really won against the house and it gives pleasure to those who want more money in their pockets. So I think we must do it regularly as long as we hit the planned amount or better the minimum withdrawal.

Whilst yes owning residential property is considered an investment, I do think it's important to look at the benefits of owning property (safety, security, stability), as non tangible benefits, that are not directly measured through monetary returns to justify the investment. I think home ownership is important for these reasons.

I can only add that I do not want to say that it is impossible to earn money in gambling. But I think it is possible only in such a section of gambling as poker. And then, only very good mathematicians will be successful in it, which the casino undoubtedly tracks down and tries to prohibit them from playing. Also, a poker player can earn money if he streams his poker games.

As for other types of gambling, attempts to turn them into a permanent source of income are stupid.

To be honest, I don't even understand how players can bet their bitcoin, because it has deflationary properties as an asset. This means that it will most likely grow over time, roughly speaking, we could bet more stablecoins in a year than today, so why bet today? Of course, many players will object to me that they want to play here and now, but in this case it is better to bet stablecoins, because we will be able to understand our result after several games. With bitcoin, this will be difficult to do, because it is not clear how to calculate its price, by current values ​​or by those that we bet a year ago. In short, if we bet bitcoins, we simply will not be able to adequately analyze our game.
