201  Economy / Speculation / Re: Fulfill your dreams from Bitcoin, on: April 10, 2024, 04:43:31 AM


Currently bitcoin has high value, I have fulfilled my dream with bitcoin, My long time wish is to buy a computer, Finally I was able to fulfill that dream, I bought a computer for a total of $1170. I bought the computer with some money from my bitcoin holdings and some from my family.
I withdrew $500 from my bitcoin holdings and bought the computer with the remaining $670 from my family. I cashed out my holdings 6 days ago today, when Bitcoin was worth $69500. I got a very good price, even though Bitcoin is currently way ahead of it, but I want to increase my current holdings and I have always been holding in Bitcoin using the DCA method. I am very happy to fulfill my dream from Bitcoin. I will hold my current bitcoin holdings for the long term and I will continue to hold on a regular weekly or monthly basis using the DCA method. Everyone pray for me, that I can grow big like this and fulfill my dreams with Bitcoin like this, Thanks you...
1170 dollars? that sounds an expensive unit , is that a Gaming PC? may I ask why need
to purchase a High specification computer if you can buy a regular unit hat can make you
spend cheaper and have more holdings for the future?

I also bought a computer but I chose  to purchase a lower unit that only costs me 620
dollars in which i believe a practical way of using.

but Of course I wanna congratulate you from your dream come true now .

Yes, because gambling is based only on entertainment, then when we lose we don't feel regret and we already get pleasure from it and not only that, we use the money that will be gambled in gambling, maybe it's just the remaining money from savings for daily needs, but if we use gambling As a means of making money, this is clearly a big mistake and it is likely that we will dare to bet a lot of money there because we hope to get even more.
Yes, you are right if you have a perception like that that the money we gamble will definitely disappear quickly and don't use borrowed money because it is very risky.
Almost all of us agree on this, that we can use gambling only for entertainment, because that way, the risks we will get will also be lower. I mean the risk of making us gamble excessively, because we cannot deny that one of the things that makes us gamble excessively is because we have the thought of always wanting to win.

As a means of entertainment, we should be able to manage our time and manage our finances for gambling allocations, because if we cannot manage this then we will lose a lot of money and we will also waste a lot of time because we only focus on gambling.

There are various types of entertainment that can make us happy, and some people have gambling as one of their choices. When we have a gambling mindset where we want to make a lot of money, what we will get is the opposite. Yes we will lose more money on gambling.

That's right, if gambling is used for entertainment then it is far from having a high risk impact, indeed gambling will basically cause risks, but we will choose to accept big or small risks, namely when we play excessively the impact is very big and if we play moderately then the impact Also, it won't harm us much and we will still be safe and fine when we want to gamble again.
in the end?it means we must completely aware of the possibilities to become greedy or to
become a god gambler , and also we must understand what we are entering and we need to know
that gambling result will always depend in how you deals with it.

I gamble for fun but i will never say that  i don't want to take home big wins as this will
make me hypocrite , gamble with knowledge and surely you'll always be better.
203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your take? on: April 10, 2024, 03:27:33 AM
Everyone wants betting shortcuts. It seems obvious to stick with the major names with those low chances. As a business veteran, I can assure you that same logic may burn you on the pitch. Underdogs? They constantly upset the apple cart, rendering "safe" bets useless.
what do gambling sites wanted to achieve? ofcourse the trust of players that in
the end will be their milking cow,
and safe bets? there are so much to expect than that safer bets.


Quote
The problem is assuming you can outwit the system. Like the stock market, it seems predictable but can cause whiplash if not watched. Smart individuals like myself dont play favorites. We bet broadly to reduce risk. You must study the game and see the complete field before betting on Tottenham vs. Newcastle.
favorites  betting is just tp show trust, but that trust cannot guarantee us
winning so why not explore the whole gambling world.
Quote
But its not simply risk. Understand that sport, like business, is unpredictable. Before betting big on those low odds, remember that I've seen titans collapse. A smart bettor considers and studies. Sometimes the big payday arrives unexpectedly.
correct, this needs time and effort and of course broad and active mind.

There are thread/post that I come to read somewhere in this forum connecting 1xbet to
the notorious scam casino 1xbit that has tons of complaints over the years in this forum , so if
that accusation is correct then this 1xbet is truly an scammer.
sorry for your losses here mate but i don't think that you can win over this big casino platform
that has celebrity advertiser and not just celebrity but some are super famous.
205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you won a bet with your last cash? on: April 09, 2024, 10:13:39 AM

It felt good to win and experience this kind of phenomena, but at the end of the end, looking back, it could have been part of how gamblers become addicted. You experienced the adrenaline rush and try to go and repeat that same experience again and again, IMHO.

Betting with your last cash is quite irresponsible but there are lots of “responsible” gamblers who have done it at some point. It does feel really good to win your bets. Then when one wins after playing with the last cash he’s got,  the individual would obviously feel ecstatic. The feelings could be overwhelming.
we can call it irresponsible but this is for gamblers to be their last call , meaning this is their
chance to make the table changes favoring them .
but correct about the last  bet if win? even how small your winning is the feeling is like
a jackpot wins.

Quote
I’m thinking same. Perhaps after being lucky and winning with your last funds, it would only encourage such individual not to ever give up on trying to win again. You’ve got to be strong willed else, it could slowly lead you down the path of addiction without the individual realizing it.
I have this experience, sometimes when I put my last money in last bet and promise
to go home after? but indeed after winning then that comes to another sets of gambling lol.
206  Economy / Speculation / Re: Let the countdown begin❗️ on: April 09, 2024, 08:18:54 AM


We're currently in the midst of the halving month, with only 17 days left until the most anticipated event of Bitcoin, which occurs once every four years. If you are a crypto investor, it's important to stay informed and prepared for potential opportunities that may come during this time in the market, potentially towards bullish trends. For all crypto enthusiasts out there, how are you planning and preparing for potential market opportunities during this crucial period? Share your strategies, guys.
Now down to 11 days and counting but bitcoin keeps its hold into that 70k and above and with
this kind of action I think we are going crazy in the next coming days specially when the halving day
comes and the market starts to do its job.
207  Other / Off-topic / Re: 73-Year-Old Michigan Woman Believed She Won Over $3M but got SCAMMED for $700K on: April 09, 2024, 07:03:53 AM
Let's be honest - this is not a pleasant story to hear. I just wonder why such an old and rich woman doesn't have someone she can trust by her side – especially when she's dealing with a lot of money. In my opinion, $700K is a lot of money - so a 70+ year old should have someone accompany him wherever he goes rather than doing it alone.
at the age of 73 is there none of Her relatives and friends that taking care of? I mean
at least someone that checking her each time and what is she dealing for?

Quote
I didn't read the OP's entire story even though I tried to open the news link - but I admit it's not a pleasant story. It's a shame that an elderly woman like her has to lose a lot of money because of scam.
its a really sad story , knowing that the victim is an Old woman that only has short time
in world but yet scammers chooses to victimized.
208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 09, 2024, 06:53:22 AM
Health factors and financial needs will be made by gamblers not to gamble because these two factors are very influential in their relationship to gambling, namely when someone is sick, they have to rest and restore their health so they can return to their activities again and when someone is confused or unsteady financial problems, then he must prioritize the needs that are beneficial to him first because that is the most important thing in his own life.
but there are some gamblers that even chooses to continue gambling instead of taking care
of their health because the funds to use for medication ? they will still gamble the amount for a
chance to do more chances of earning.
some even face death because of gambling addiction because instead of medication ?
they spend their last money and last hour in the world just to gamble.
Usually I don't involve myself in gambling when I'm hungry because at that time I'm mentally tired and don't pay much attention to the gambling bet.
When I am physically tired and ill I refrain myself from gambling completely and I do not participate in gambling until my body recovers.
I abstain from gambling completely when I am intoxicated and I participate in gambling when the effects of the intoxication wear off. An addicted gambler is never able to focus deeply on gambling and thus the chances of gambling losses are higher than profits.

It's wise how you set clear boundaries for gambling—no playing when hungry, tired, ill, or intoxicated. This approach ensures you're always in the right state of mind, minimizing the risk of losses. It's a strategy all gamblers should consider to keep their focus sharp and their decisions sound. It underscores a crucial point: gambling requires clear-headedness to avoid unnecessary losses.
added into these? do not gamble when you have not much money , because we must
prioritize other things than just gambling.
209  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational on: April 09, 2024, 06:12:31 AM
But slot games are fully luck base so i think the only thing that gamblers need to understand is to accept defeat because that is how those kind of games do.
not unless they have knowledge in  sports betting and Poker that can use skills and experience to win.

This is the most terrible learning you can apply when playing slot games. Accepting defeat even though you start playing will make you not enjoy on playing slots games. Remember that we should play slot games or gambling to have fun through the hope of winning big per spin. Thinking about accepting defeat while playing is a very bad idea because you already remove the purpose of your gambling.

I manage to win so many huge multiplier on slot games in the past. Defeat is not always the result on playing slot games because you can still win big if luck is on your side. Just positive and enjoy the game without thinking about losing.
Honestly im not really that a slot guy on which i dont really that much of enjoyment on just rolling or pressing that button for you to see those combinations that would pop out. I dont see the fun part of this one
and this is why i do usually skip out on playing this type of game on which i do prefer on playing dice or crash games rather than on this one but of course we do know that each one of us would really be having that kind of interest on which it would differ into each person. Going back into those educational parade showing about those slots results or negativity with gambling too much then its a good initiative
but only a few people would really be able to learn from those things yet there would really be those people who would really be that curious on what it is and would be molding up that kind of
interest on testing it out later on.


For those people who do see the parade then they might be that wary about those possible situation when you are a gambling addict but just as said that there would really be that interest same as you said.
Curious minds would really be starting to make out some research and find out on what it is all about.
But having a curious mind is also something that can bring us to more trouble specially in
gambling world  if the people or the person involved just enter without proper research and without
a better understanding then they might be in trouble then , so if we are to decide entering gambling
so best to know what will guide you for long term and not for short term because you can turn into
addiction if not treated correctly, and gambling is tempting that can make you seeking more an more
that what you could achieve in  life.
210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Price Predictions? Predict the new ATH! on: April 09, 2024, 06:05:41 AM
Yeah ETF is very important for ETH to get approved. As far as wiping out of demand is considered nowadays people are looking at BTC and then they invest into the altcoins alternatively. ETH will detach itself from the point of view of people that they were BTC and then invest into ETH once the ETF gets approved until then it will be attached to BTC.
it has been called that this will be happening this April?

do you really believe that Ethereum ETF approval will take place any time soon now?

if Bitcoin ETF brings this crazy market so what more to happen in Ethereum and altcoins .
Quote
I think they are trying to achieve that mark and people are considering ETH the best alternative to invest rather than BTC due to its high price. ETH is very popular and successful among the small and daily traders who trace daily and after getting a certain amount of profits they leave the market.
There are lots of altcoins that may come in best after bitcoin but for me this is not competition but about
the trust we have in each coin that we are investing so in the end ? better to diversify .
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Story of my life on: April 09, 2024, 05:04:34 AM
Have you ever noticed or am I the only one?

The more active I become with gambling, the more it drags me back, luckily I keep risking only what I want to lose.

The less active I become with gambling, the more positive it gets for me, not most of the time but my results are simply better than when I was very active.

It's like the casinos are wired to mess with the most active gamblers. I don't know, so far I can only find someone who has seen such before.

A friend who lives far away from me has also said the same, he got tired of gambling because it wasn't going his way but when he started talking it less seriously, that's when he started to get positive results.

Has anyone had the same experience before?
Not sure if this is true but upon my experiences? the more I gamble is the more i lose but
when I cut my gaming is the more chance i am winning , so i come to conclusions that the casino
is doing their best to lure us back to gamble more but when you continue playing then that is the
chance of us to lose more again.
212  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: April 09, 2024, 04:15:52 AM

        -   That's really the main problem of the majority of gamblers; in fact, once the person is immediately overtaken by being emotional, there is no finish because he will lose control of what he/she is doing, and that is the reason that it leads to defeat in the end.

So from the very beginning of the game, we should already know within ourselves whether we can control ourselves, and we must have discipline in playing, or else we will be swallowed whole by greed for sure.

Of course, the emotional feelings that exist in our minds are the main factor in the emergence of new problems which will make our lives worse and miserable because these emotional feelings will encourage us to gamble excessively and one day when our hopes and desires are not achieved then these emotional feelings will be more sensitive and if it is not balanced with strong self-control then the emotional feeling will win and the result will definitely be disappointment.
that is how gambling affect our lives and decisioning because gambling let us feel enjoying
and winning then after it will bring defeat and that is the hard part when we are not ready and we
don't understand until we become the victim.
emotions and our thoughts and beliefs at the same time.

Therefore, use a healthy mind to be able to make good decisions so that we don't make mistakes and end up becoming victims of the effects of gambling. Indeed, victory will come when we are gambling for the first time and in a row, if we do not take advantage of the winnings then we will be very brutal in carrying out gambling activities so that defeats come repeatedly to influence our minds so that we can win again and that is the trick or method. to attract the attention of gamblers in general.
And what you said is true, in the end our emotions and beliefs will be tested simultaneously and will we be able to overcome them? and that is the key to prevention.
It is indeed , the main thing still here is the person involved because like me and maybe yours
that knows how to deal with gambling and by no chance that we will be coming addicted , other person
has different approach and story that may end them being in bad shape from gambling activities.
perfect term to use is PREVENTION is the Key .
213  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin halving, how low the price can be? on: April 09, 2024, 04:11:26 AM
Next month will be Bitcoin halving, how far can the price go down? or how high can the price go up?
I believe that we will be seeing at least 50k level till the halving happens and will slowly grow when the year comes
halving is near, I doubt even the recent dips could make it touch the level of $50k so many people are bullish, ETF is a huge success, I doubt it will ever reach $50k that unless sudden bad news comes up but overall I've seen strong market that bitcoin is having whenever its dipping there seems to be massive buying happening as well for people to accumulate I guess, if I still have money left i'd definitely make investment now but all money already invested.
we will see several weeks after halving though whats gonna happen my guess is that it has high chance of dumping just a little bit because as the saying goes buy the rumour sell the news some people gonna sell at the event but moving forward it will be bullish until the end of the year I guess at least until it hits near $100k or beyond.
for the holder that has been holding their dear investment from when bitcoin was still around $20k, then they are already hitting the jackpot turning giving them massive increase in their life savings.


price is still going stronger at 71-72k nearing the halving at lest more than a week now

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

this means so much to the supporters when this supposed to be the latest increase when this must be dumping now?

I think there will always be the different approach in this matter that halving is not how we look at this year.

Go Bitcoin Fly High ..
214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 10k investment on: April 08, 2024, 08:12:50 PM
Maybe people should also check the OP. This thread was created last year of April 14. If OP did invested $5k each into ADA and XRP then the portfolio is already in gains to the current prices. ADA is 34% up while XRP gained around 13%.
Exactly,this post was created almost exact 1 year ago but Ada is still not getting any better even when
we have the bill market this year things that brings the coin behind Solana that gives investors a
better results since last year.

Quote
But if the amount was just used to buy bitcoin on the same date, it would've gained 116% in profit. Most of us here are into a diverse number of coins but bitcoin is a must of course. A lot included ethereum in the list as well and it is already 58% up which is still better than ADA and XRP.
This is we must always consider Bitcoin above all the project because indeed that altcoins are
Giving great increase but that is not as good as what Bitcoin can give us things that is proven
Many times now,not even half of Bitcoin the increase of Ada this year.
215  Other / Off-topic / Re: Your gambling experiences shared here could serve as lessons to others on: April 08, 2024, 12:54:41 PM
If you do not have experience gambling is a bad feeling on the stage. If you gamble irresponsibly it is better to regret it and not lead to more losses. Don't be afraid to cure something because it is not bad you have to evaluate your bad side and find other ways to change your luck towards gambling. The right advice leads a man in a positive direction.
to be a gambler then you must know how to manage the attitude , better not listen to your desire
to win instead best to just enjoy the game ,treat gambling as your place where to release stress and be
happy in your gambling.
Even if you are still in the process of healing or recovering from your gambling , do not be afraid of judgment and please do share your stories. I have huge respect for people who can accept their mistakes and try hard to improve on them.
exactly , sharing your story and your behavior to your friends and family
will give you understanding and also people in your surrounding .
216  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: April 08, 2024, 12:41:05 PM
Crypto casinos use social media more to promote themselves. Now people are more interested in social media if you advertise here everyone will see and the number of promotions will increase.
That is why its called social media because that is the most used internet platform
of our days now , and yes there are lots of happening in that  area when some are legit
and majority are just trying to fool people. so it is how you deal with it and how you
manage to develop yourself from not becoming a victim.

Quote
Also the administration prepares bonus offers for new and already registered customers. Weekly cashback for winning an interesting quiz reload promotion and if you succeed through no deposit you will be able to withdraw the winnings immediately.
that is what players are looking , the bonuses and events and if you are gamblers
 you know that it is very important.

Quote
They want to attract the attention of customers easily by promoting them.
they are spending also for that promotions, so they wanted to have return.

We know quite alright that gambling companies have this money but they have decided not to go loud about it because they don't want the eye on them to set target from the government regulations and the likes,
we knew the government and also know how they are working to take money from every
businesses so what more in gambling business that they knew how money is flowing each minute.
Quote
there are some as well in which this category of gambling platforms are just coming up in building an environment of trust that will lead to their stay and with time they enlarge in coast with what they offers, this are the kinds that started small and mean business and later got developed whereby money is never a problem for them anymore.
but that is hard for the gamblers to trust a casino that has small capital or starting small
because we are talking about winning or potential wins of each players most specially when they
hit jackpot it is the obligation that they need to face.

After end of bull run, Solana had started lossing its price and it waas worth $12 in November, 2022. And till August, 2023 solana was below $20. Many were talking about this is end of solana, it'll never pump and then something interesting happened to it and solana pumped 3/4 times from its position. And still its more than $185+ .many people still thinks solana would pump more. So they keep buying solana with such believe.  
 What do you think? Is Solana still Worth buying cause price is tooo much pump already.
actually you should have ask this in the speculation thread of Solana here
