201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Scratch Offs on: March 16, 2024, 08:05:37 AM
Well, I also play scratch it, and my main purpose is to enjoy it because I enjoy playing it, but yeah, I don't expect to win because I know that I'm not in luck with this kind of thing, so I just enjoy myself. But I experienced one time that I won a lot in one scratch. I ended up buying more, but of course I secured some profit, so even if I lose those three tickets, I still go home with money. 

In my country, scratching is also a hobby for most people because, why not? It's cheap, fun to play, and of course, simple, so even children or the elderly are still playing those tickets, and I don't see anything wrong with that; it just has a risk of someone becoming addicted, and someone will waste a lot of money on that, hoping to win, but we all know winning is too little to scratch.
202  Economy / Economics / Re: Early exposure of children to wealth and investments on: March 15, 2024, 10:11:01 PM
I would introduce investment to my kids if they are mature enough at a very young age and are knowing the use of money and how to save it and make more money.

However not every parent is lucky like that, many end up parenting properly but the kids are wasting their money like anything and not taking the advice of wiser parents. We can only hope that our parenting is proper and things dont turn out so grim.

The education system will never teach children about investment and savings nor how to be independent and be a neat adult.
I guess there’s really no issue even if we tell our kids at an early age that we have investments like this and like that. What’s hard is letting them understand that they are the next owners in line so they should learn to manage it whether they like it or not. That alone will definitely put them in pressure most especially if they have no passion in holding such investments.

However, there’s always a solution to every problem. Don’t put on their shoulders the sole success of certain investments as they might misinterpret that. But train them to be responsible kids and surely, when they are mature enough, they will definitely understand the purpose of why they should be aware of their investments.
This is a great way to train your children. But for me I have a different approach, even I am successful or I become wealthy I will never ever spoil my child, in a sense that they should work on what they get or they should earn what they deserved meaning its like a rewarding system, if they did great then they can get what they want, in that way they will adopt to the culture of if they are soing great or achieved something then they can be rewarded, in that way they will not be spoiled and also they will learn the value of money or gifts, Besides the outcome will be based on how good or way of parenting, for me I want them to be no independent into me or get into their head that they are also reach, No, I'm the one who is rich I am so they have to earn the wealth I have.
203  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best altcoin now? on: March 15, 2024, 09:25:00 PM
If you are familiar with Solana, then I think you should invest in it. Solana is making a good move in the market, and added to that, Solana is being used in different projects, or Solana has projects that are becoming more expensive, and yeah, Solana is, I think, one of the safest alt coins to invest in, as it has been proven. You could also do ETH, which is, I can say, the second-highest price in crypto currency. It always follows when bitcoin is either moving up or down, but of course, be careful with trading or investing in altcoins as they are subject to dips as the investors are only thinking about selling their stocks as they see the price of their altcoins increase. It's okay to try and trade altcoins; just stay away from memes and shitcoins, although they can be profitable at times, but not for trading.
204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: March 15, 2024, 02:31:51 PM
Well I already know what country are you talking about and we are the same living in that country, the thing is gambling is not entirely legal in the country, meaning there are exceptions such as you can't operate without a permit or yiu are not following the legal rules and regulations in your establishment, and also winning a very huge amount of money from gambling should undergo in government meaning there are taxes and such which is a bullshit, but we can't argue because they are the one that implements the rules or laws so we don't have a choice but to obey and if some cases you win big amount in gambling in this country make sure you win in a legal establishment or business or else government will treat your earning as subject to crime and you will not get a single penny. For example, if you win in an illegal casino and announce it on social media, the government or authority will find a way to confiscate your money as it came from an illegal business.
205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is really unexpected on: March 15, 2024, 11:14:11 AM
Well that's what gambling is, all about unexpected, you will never know when you will win or lose, and sometimes you even lose more than winning, but for some fortunate people or individual, they experience the good unexpected event of gambling, those are that one's that win and get a lot of money from that, but of course on the other side there is someone that is addicted to gambling and they are losing more and deepening their suffering, its fortunate that OP know when to stop and also when to secure your gain, if you win in a gambling games you don't need to keep on betting or playing, you should have a system where in you will stop when it reach your fund limit that is allocated for gambling. and when to stop when you reach your goal and secure it. If you are an individual who can't control themselves, then you better stay out of gambling.
206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Online Crypto-Gambling Legal in a Country Without Gambling Laws? on: March 15, 2024, 06:53:07 AM
simple: no laws, no violations, simply as that, but the thing is, does it help if there are no laws when it comes to gambling? I think not. Laws are created and implemented in order to maintain order in a country. Imagine there are no restrictions on gambling, no age restrictions, or no age limit on who can play gambling games. Then many youths will be addicted and open to gambling. 

Or if something happens, such as a crime, because of gambling but there are no laws regarding gambling, then they can, for example, operate illegal establishments made for gambling because they have the guts and no fear of being caught. Laws are important in every aspect of a country; without them, there will be no peace at all. If laws are lacking in gambling-related areas, then there will be people who will not fearing to do bad things behind gambling.
207  Economy / Speculation / Re: Im new here but Im old trader i keep eyes on Market. on: March 14, 2024, 11:35:49 PM
Old trader? It doesn't seem like your statement proves you are an old trader or have a lot of experience in trading. Based on your statement, you are believing in theory, or you've mentioned the theory about bitcoin crushing down, which is impossible, and yeah, it is impossible. It seems like a theory for those who want bitcoin to crash down. And about your other statements, if you really are an experienced trader, then you will show some analysis, graphs, or anything else that could support your claims because that's not what traders say about their analysis. I don't mean to criticise, but the thing is, your saying you are an experienced trader is not valid until you follow up on this question about me: what will be the proof of your claims and also the proof that you really are an old or experienced trader?. I dare you, OP. I hope you won't ignore this dare of mine.
208  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stay off any missed opportunity on: March 14, 2024, 10:36:43 PM
My definition os opportunity in trading is that you are the one that will make your own opportunity, meaning based on your analysis or decision you are the one that will determine it if you will earn from a trade or not and the result will of course baded on your execution, bitcoin or any crypto currency market has a very volatile market so the opportunity is limitless, but of course there are what we call trends so it is really necessary for a trader to work on his/her own knowledge and decision making and of course your experience, no one become a trader is being a professional and can achieve 50% win rate in trading in just a short time, you will need experience as experience is the great lesson of all, that's when you will discover and adopt things, so don't be frustrated if in your first year you have a few wins, instead focus on developing your skills.
209  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might reach $100k before halviing. What is your exit strategy? on: March 14, 2024, 10:12:19 PM
If the bitcoin price will reach $100k before halving, then what more after that? Imagine how the bitcoin price will rise. What is the exit strategy? For now, I don't have any plans to sell my bitcoin, even if it reaches $100k, because I believe that bitcoin will get more profitable. Imagine the profit you can make. Maybe the minimum I will sell my bitcoin is $200,000. Why not aim higher? But it doesn't mean I will sell all of my holdings—maybe a few—because I already calculated how much I get when the price reaches what I desire. But if it does not happen, then fine. I'll just wait patiently when I see a good opportunity to sell. But for now, yeah, I don't feel like selling because I want to keep holding like others do, and that's the reason why the bitcoin price right now is soaring. I also hope until then whales or big investors and holders won't sell their holdings.
210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin for the elderly homeless. on: March 14, 2024, 09:52:55 PM
you have been active on this forum for years, through all the post ATH corrections('15,'18,'22) of previous ATH('17,'21).. speaking about your copper collection, but now you finally want to take a punt at bitcoin whilst its on a ATH and leading upto the next patterned superior ATH of 2025

seems you missed out on the best opportunities, once again
It can't be helped; not all of us are destined to experience those opportunities, but that doesn't mean that you will stop or that it will hinder your investment or investing in bitcoin. As they say, there's no too late in investing in bitcoin, even if you missed a chance or opportunity, you still can have those things or you are the one that will make those opportunities. As bitcoin or crypto currency is volatile, there are no implications that it will be too late for you to invest because every day or every moment there are opened opportunities in the market. It will depend on how you see it and how you make those opportunities into profit. You just need to be resourceful and have patience with bitcoin because it will be a hardship to understand it or to be able to profit from it. Of course, you need a lot of things before you can start earning.
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is best for a player to draw the line? on: March 14, 2024, 08:59:32 AM
The best answer is to stop when you reach your limit, meaning that I myself have set an amount that I can use for gambling, and that is my limit. No matter what happens, lose or win, I will gradually accept the result as long as my funds are zero or the allocated funds for gambling are all gone. When I win or lose, it doesn't matter as long as I have funds, then I will continue playing. But what if I keep on winning? So when do I stop? I will stop when I double my capital. For example, if I started with $100 and in my session I gained another $100, then that's when I will stop, and the next day I will use the $100 as my capital for gambling, and the other will be secured, and I will never use that again. More like, it will be put in my savings where I cannot let myself use it no matter what, but where do I get my funds for gambling? from some of my salary and side jobs.
212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do the juice Worth the squeeze? on: March 14, 2024, 08:17:28 AM
To make it simple, no, a very big no, gambling should not be treated as an investment. Although investing and gambling are similar in the sense that you can lose money from a wrong move or decision or by fate, the chances of losing in gambling are too much because you can only or mostly rely on luck, meaning if you are not lucky enough, don't bother to have hope that you will earn in gambling. Meanwhile, in investing, if you did this stuff correctly and with caution, you will have the guarantee of earning. It's much more worthy to allocate your time, effort, and money in an investment or business than hoping to win big in gambling that might not come.

There is also no guarantee that if you invest or start a business, you will be successful or that your life will change. It still depends on how you do in your stuff, but at least the margin of losing money is not too much.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: March 14, 2024, 07:22:51 AM
Yes a couple of times in card gambling games, because those times I only used mobile data, because I'm playing outside or during work, but yeah sadly I experience slow connectivity and end up being disconnected in my game, especially those live card games, that's why from then I always make sure to not play gambling again when I'm using mobile data, or if I can't help it I will play first in a secured and strong internet connection, because I always learn from my mistakes, but you will notice there is still this problem even if your own connection is not the issue, I'm talking about the connectivity to the website's database, I'm sure there are times that you have strong connection but still being forced to disconnect in the website while you are in session and that problem is in the website side and it can't be helped if the volume of players is too much and the website can't handle it.
214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Still Dead? on: March 13, 2024, 11:55:41 PM
If there is one thing you should learn from all of this.  It is that you should not trust what the media says about Bitcoin.  They have been lying for so many years I actually wonder why in the world are people still listening to what they say.

Bitcoin is still dead, in their eyes.  In ours, it is surviving very well.
Well, it's because those who don't have any idea about bitcoin can easily be deceived by what they see on social media. In these days, social media is one of the platforms where people want to read news or different topics about the happenings in the world, but the problem is that there are many fake news creators or non-proof statements going around social media, and there are those people who easily believe those statements and news. 

So I will not be shocked if many people are still hesitant and don't have a positive view of bitcoin or crypto currency, because there are some who are pulling bitcoin below just to destroy its image and prevent any further investors, but despite that, look at what bitcoin is capable of doing. It is too powerful, thanks to those believers and solid investors who are not thinking about earning on their own.
215  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What Application do you use to monitor crypto movements daily? on: March 13, 2024, 11:02:17 PM
Well, I used two websites that I monitor the movement or price of a specific cryptocurrency, which are Coinbase and Coingecko. The reason for me to have two different websites is because, as you will notice, not all websites have syncing, meaning there is a slight delay in the actual price of, for example, bitcoin. That's why I use them both in order to compare the actual or real-time price of a specific currency. And because they have two different features and I want to have a backup website in case I can't access the other website, knowing or using the right and trusted cryptomonito website is very important to us, especially for those traders, so we can come up with a strategy and also be convenient. I used some other websites, but these are the ones that I'm most comfortable using, so yeah, if you are interested, just visit the website I have mentioned.
216  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: March 13, 2024, 10:29:27 PM
If you have investments, you can become wealthy. But if you have savings you will just be rich instead. And being rich is temporary if there isn’t a stable/reliable source of income. I’ve said this before and I’d say it again; you can’t save your way to wealth, you can only invest your way up there. There’s no wealthy person who said in their success story that saving money is what made them wealthy. You have to put the money to work.
Exactly! Its not bad to save up money because it is for your future or servers as securing your future, but it doesn't mean that all your money should be sitting around in your savings account and doing nothing. What if you have an emergency and you need to use your savings, so back to zero? Saving money again and again? So the most practical way of becoming wealthy in life is to combine investment and savings, divide your main income or your total income into the sections you need to, and allocate something for savings and investment because if you prosper in your investment, you can expect to save more money, right? So continue the cycle, and you will come to the point in your life where, no matter what happens, even if you get retired, you still have passive income because of your investment or business and also security because you have quite a bit of money saved up in your accounts. Isn't that the best option in life?
217  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to determine it is not a scam on: March 13, 2024, 10:07:18 PM
Yet another attempt of subtle promotion, sigh.

OP posted about the website in question couple of years ago and it's safe to say they own it.

Do you want to earn credits but in Forza Horizon 5 have no time to grind too hard for them?
Well, You can buy Forza Horizon 5 credits through U4gm.

Sorry but this kind of trick does the opposite of what you're trying to achieve discussion-wise.
Well, that's it. You showed proof now that OP doesn't have anything to say anymore. The thing is, why are they promoting their website or their stuff in an unusual way? I think they should put more effort into promoting something, especially if it's a website. You need to work on how you will attract your customers without this kind of drama. This promotion isn't fair for those who promoted their website or stuff legally or in the right way.

Why can't they promote properly? One of the reasons is the budget allocated for that. In sad reality, you need to invest in promotion in order to attract customers, and it will be worth it if only you will also give a wrothy advertisement or promotion. You don't need to make a drama just for that. 

I searched the link, and it seems that it is not a scam website, but the thing is, it lacks information.
218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 4 Years ago people laughed at me bcz of THIS on: March 13, 2024, 09:48:03 PM
But hiring corrupted doctors to turn this into a plan just so they can buy a virtual Currency cheap is just insane.  At least come with a more plausible description of your theory.  Evidence for example.  Not just a story that came out of your brain.
True right? I maybe believe in that OP about how bitcoin will reach new heights, but the idea that someone intentionally spread COVID just so many people could buy bitcoin at its cheap price makes it hard to believe in it. Even if there's someone who plans to cause COVID, I don't think it is because of bitcoin. Now, OP, even though you are right about the bitcoin part, many will still laugh at you about your statement. Maybe if you have proof that it actually happens, then that's when we will believe in you, but saying you are right or that your theory is right because of the bitcoin price is not enough as proof that your theory is true. Let's be rational here and blame others or come up with a theory without proper proof because you could affect someone, and pandemic is a sensitive discussion. Do you think if other people read your statement, they will still have a positive impression on bitcoin? I think not.
219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you stake on a potential(obvious) loosing team just for love? on: March 13, 2024, 01:22:16 PM
To answer the question of the OP, a simple no: if I know that the team I love or idolise will lose and I will make a bet, then I will choose to win. There are two scenarios: yes, I have a basketball team that I idolise the most, and I support them in every match they have, but when it comes to gambling or betting in the NBA, if I know that they have a lower chance of winning, then I will bet on the opposing team. In short, yes, I do love a specific team, but that doesn't mean that I will be stubborn and let me lose my money in a bet where I already know that I will lose just because I still support the team that I idolized. But maybe for others, they will be stubborn and think that being a fan is heavier than being abettor.
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake loses $615k bet on Joshua-Ngannou bout on: March 13, 2024, 08:07:59 AM
Drake thought Francis Ngannou would win but Anthony Joshua knocked out Ngannou in the second round of the match of the heavyweight showdown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Drake lost $615000.

https://www.thecable.ng/drake-loses-615k-bet-on-joshua-ngannous-bout/amp?/drake-loses-615k-bet-on-joshua-ngannous-bout

Too bad, I think everyone here as well thought that Francis Ngannou will pull an upset win against the Brit. But Joshua didn't want to happen and as if this is a tailor fight for him to win in that dominant fashion. Not the first time that he have heard Drake bet on a fight or sports and losses big money,


So the Drake curse continues...
Drake has lots of money and these loses are just nothing to him, the guy  stakes really high and loses really well, looks like gambling isn't actually his calling or he's unlucky with the stakes, most times he bets on the wrong selection and loses big. It doesn't affect him in any way cos he makes much more than those in hours. In my country currency, $615k its approximately #981 million, this.

Drake really loses serious funds in gambling and the consistency makes me wonder if stake.com casted a spell on him to be enriching themselves at intervals. Sometimes I think its better for him to stop gambling if I was him since its clearly not working out for him. but its entirely his decision to take.

This loses cant be nothing for him, because if half a million is nothing, he can throw that amount out of the window weekly and that would create even more hype around him, but he did not act like that. Google says that his net worth is 260 millions. Right now he has lost roughly 1/500 of all his money. That is actually a hit on his balance. If we take into account that few times a year he losses large amount, roughly a million per year as a minimum, and the fact that music royalties does not bring him hundred millions and still has to perform or make ads, then this $615k loss is something for him.
In short, no matter how big his net worth is, if he keeps on losing that kind of money in gambling, then he will come to an end wherein there will be no left in his money. Remember, money is finite. Imagine if Drake keeps on losing even just a month with that amount of money; after a few years, he will be dried up. The worst is if he is losing that kind of money frequently. 

We can't understand many popular people; instead of focusing on investment, they will choose to throw and waste their money on gambling, which will result in their downfall. I'm not saying that Drake will lose his fortune, but the thing is, if he keeps on doing what he does, then there will be a point in his life where he will not notice that he doesn't have anything else; the money is such a waste. If I were him, I would make my money grow in investment.
