It's more like a fun tournament rather than gambling given that there's no money involved and the prices are physical items, I'm assuming that the games on the tournaments are gambling games given that the participants are gamblers and the host is a old gambler. The man is really generous offering prizes, it's absolutely on the fun side, recouping memories and enjoying the time that he can see his old gambling friends.

To be honest, I want to be this man someday, living a slow retirement life and enjoying the remaining time we got by doing the things that we like and spend time with the people who is important to us.

If you are talking about centralized P2P trading with a fiat/crypto pair, there's a bunch of risks. One biggest risk I can think of is the scammers that are luring on a pool of legit traders. I've encountered clever scammers before that almost got me, they can make the transaction a legit one, they're good that's why I noticed somethings wrong before I release the money to the scammer. They are taking advantage of the P2P platforms, they play with the the strict rules of an exchange what makes them brave LOL.

Another risks is outside the exchange factors like bank transfers which can be reversed or sometimes has problems in sending which obviously distrupt the transaction. There are also people who are buying crypto on P2P using hacked bank accounts, my friend experienced this and it is a very hassle scenario because it took him days before he finally resolved his situation.

Newbies and people who don't pay attention are the one who I think is the target of the scammers on P2P since everything on an exchange might be over whelming for them.

My recommendation is to take it slow, be wary of the procedure and process. Don't trust especially if the one you are trading has a not so high p2p trading score.

I don't think that it can really improve a trader because of not using stop loss. Sure, that are traders that don't really use stop loss but I personally think that it is advisable thing to do especially of you seeks improvement. Stop loss is the one that we absolutely won't want to get hit that's why I think setting it up is one of the result of the technical analysis that we traders do. We hitting the stop loss means that there's still a room for improvement on our technical analysis or research.

I myself don't use stop loss all of the times but it is only when it is a long term trade. Though I think it is still better to have a stop loss given that there's a black swan ones in a while which can possibly be a cause of liquidation.

At the end of the day, it will still depend on us on what we think will do good for us. Our money our rules.

I don't do bet with a high amount but both casino/bookies has a good reputation in this forum especially fortunejack which is one of among the oldest casino I know that is still active in this forum up to the current date. Personally I do bets with Stake because it is my preferred casino/bookies but I'm confident that both of the casinos/bookies will have no problem about the withdrawal. There's a lot of high rollers and big bettors in the casino mentioned, that's why I don't think that there will be a problem with the withdrawal. As long as you abide their rules and they didn't detect a issue, everything will be fine,

Also make sure that you are ready for a KYC, there's a high chance that you will get flagged by all of these casinos with the amout you are betting.

To be honest, the time that they choose to advertise here makes me wonder if they really are serious given that they have a bad name at that time. The chance that they can recover their reputation or gather new players in this forum is abosultely low but shockingly, their signature campaign they had lasted for months.

As far as I know, they have heavy advertisements outside this forum, they are also paying majority of casino review websites to shill their application which makes the reviewers a lier.

Your uncle simply doesn't have a concrete goal just like a youth that just want to enjoy the life without thinking about the consequences a head of each of his actions. He needs to have a life advice and not a financial advise since all of his actions where messed up due to his action into seeking entertainment.

I think your uncle needs to learn a heavy lesson to adjust his age and resposibilities to his actions, it would be hard for all of you especially on the benefinciaries of your uncle.

You and his family is the one that can give him a lesson and make sure that he learns about it. Make him realize about his actions and teach him to balance things out if possible. It's a hard thing to do but your uncle needs help in my opinion. Your uncle will the one be suffering at the end.

There was a regret on me before when I was still actively doing gambling everyday to the point that most of my income where being used as my gambling funds, in short, I was an addict. Today, I can control myself and has a complete perspective on gambling. To be honest, I'm quite grateful that I learne gambling because I gained many experiences, friends, life lesson and the achievement I have in my gambling journey. Let's say that I'm a satisfied gambler that just gamble for fun today, my gambling experience I have for years of doing gambling is now a funny story that I can share with my gambling friends.

It became possible when I did quit slowly. I tried to quit gambling instantly and I experience a withdrawal from it and gamble more as a result. We may all have different experiences but quitting slowly works on me. What I mean of quitting slowly is years of gambling but gaining a progress of having a good decipline until I can control myself of not partaking in any gambling activities if I want to. I can consider myself as an ex-gambling addict because the strategy works on me.

We all have different life status and I think it is better to try and try until you find the best suited way for you to quit gambling.

I have a knowledge in trading and experience in it that's why I can say that I can confidently make trades but it doesn't mean that I'm earning much. I can earn much more on other things like in my job that's why I don't do trades so often, I'm only doing trades when there's an opportunity like having a massive fundamentals update or buying and selling on the prices that I know I can get a profit.

I sometimes comment on trading threads because I can relate and can contribute relevant knowledge and ideas but it doesn't mean that I can perfectly execute it if I was tasked to do.

But the reality is those who works from home or atleast has a hybrid set-up gains more income than majority low paying physical jobs. Of course there are high paying offline jobs loke having a good profession but remember that people had transitioned to work from home set up and those who still works at home really loves it. There are also traders who are trading for a living lime consistently doing trades everyday, not everyone can do this but the really good ones can given that they have a risk management at their end.

At the end of the day, it really depend on the work you are doing and your income on that job. It is just depending on your perspecitive on what kind of jon would make you stable and earn more.

Everything has a risk even if you are walking outside your house. In investment, every asset or any type of investment has risks, there's no such thing as riskless investment. If there are riskless investment, everyone should had done it. The only thing that you can do about risks is managing it, making it as low as possible for your desired profit. Bitcoin as an asset has it's own risk even it is the most recommended asset in this forum to buy, there are certain risks that not everyone can handle. If you understand the risks of it, the poasibility that you can earn from having bitcoin as an asset is high.

As new crypto users come, it seems that people  doesn't care about one of the characteristic of cryptocurrency which is privacy. They only comes here to earn profits and not care about the privacy they should have by using crypto. It's alarming to see people who use crypto that normalize KYC procedures, as they think it is the way it should be, just like what banks do all over this years. I like privacy and I also like having the convinience along with it.

To be honest, I submitted KYC on some platforms that I used but it doesn't mean that I like it, if there's a chance of finding alternatives or not submitting entirely, I would definitely choose it.

I just don't like the idea of normalizing the KYC stuff, we don't submit KYC years back and today, the major platforms are now requiring KUC.

Using all the money you have in your bank and selling most of your physical asset such as your house, car or any necessity you need just to buy bitcoin is a dumb idea which I think extremist do. Always remember that bitcoin is a volatile asset and it can crash anytime, and it is absolute that you won't want to get bankrupt all of a sudden. Learn to allocate funds depending on your priority, you can cut on your entertainment, hobbies or other fund allocations for the sake of investment funds , just don't cut the funds for necessities. I don't like the idea of doing YOLO on a very volatile asset. If you want to buy bitcoin as much as you can, being smart is the best thing to do. Accumulate on lower prices, find other source of income and lower your expenses. There are so much things you can do to accumulate bitcoin, just don't sacrifice the basic necessities you need.

This is why I accumulated as much bitcoin as I can last bear market. I don't want to get FOMOed at time like this and regret it when hit with a correction. Right now, I'm satisfied with the bitcoin I currently have but I still want to add more if a deep correction occur. Currently, I'm a calm guy that is just waiting for things to happen, whether it continue goes up or go down, I'm all good.

I've experienced being FOMOed and being too late last bull market and I don't want to experience that kind of regret again even I profited last bull market, the profit margin would be much much better if I buy early when the market is in chaos of dumping. I know most of us knows that we will experience a bull market soon, that's why I took advantage of the bear market to get as much bitcoin as I can.

So lesson learned, if you don't want to get FOMOed, do a research as early as you can and take advantage of opportunities to accumulate.

Well, di ko rin expected na lilipad ng ganto si bitcoin as early as today, medyo overwhelmed lang siguro ako na currently nasa 44-45ish price range siya which is more than what I expected. Tinigil ko muna DCA ko in BTC and focus ako sa alts ngayon pero once na magka correction yung price ni bitcoin ay bibili ako ng maramihan since I personally think na may last dump pa na mangyayari at yun yung last time na makakabili tayo ng discounted bitcoin before bull run. It's just my speculation guys pero sa ngayon focus muna ako on alts, even if mag tuloy tuloy man tumaas yung bitcoin ay ok na ako sa hodlings ko.

To be honest, hindi ako natatakot or kinakabahan sa pag baban ng binance domain dito sa bansa natin, mas natatakot ako sa possible aftermath ng event nato. Pwede maging domino effect ito at madamay yung ibang non-registered exchanges dito sa bansa natin which is yung ibang exchange na nag ooffer ng p2p services like bybit and okx. Alam naman natin na may mga registered exchanges tayo but being honest is mas prefer ko gumamit ng multi national exchanges kesa local exchange natin given na mas gusto ko yung service na inooffer nila at pamilyar na din ako sa interface nila.

If there's a will, there's a way. Pwede naman tayo gumamit ng VPN for accessing local telecom banned exchange domains but of course may risk ito depende sa terms and conditions ng exchanges kasi hindi lahat is nag aallow na gumamit ng VPN.

Ang winiwish ko lang sana is wag ito maging domino effect na sunod sunod na ma ban yung ibang exchanges dito sa bansa natin.

I've seen so many bitcoin halving countdown on different sites and it shows that they have a different time on every each of them. I guess that they are all estimates of the bitcoin halving. I'm personally not much exited about the halving to be honest as I experienced it a few times already, the thing that makes me exited is the possibility that bitcoin price can drop after the bitcoin halving. I know that it would be the last chance to accumulate bitcoin as much as I can on it's lowest price possible before bull run, so yeah, I'm anticipating a price dump after halving and I'm currently preparing my moon bags to be filled.
