Honestly, it's not easy to be an entrepreneur. It's not easy to run your business, manage it, and trust people in your business. I might change my choice later depending on how life goes, but for now, I choose to have a stable hybrid job that gives me freedom. I'm earning very well in a hybrid job, to be precise. I don't go to the office more than twice a week; the rest of the time, I work from home.

This setup allows me to spend time with family, go on vacation, and even work as a freelancer. I choose a stable hybrid job that gives me the freedom to invest rather than owning a business and dealing with the stress that comes with it.

For me, a stable hybrid job is ideal because it gives me time to do other things and invest more. If I can earn enough from my stable job to invest in Bitcoin or digital assets, what else would I be looking for?

That's how it always is. Someone might be here today saying, 'I wish I bought Bitcoin before and I would have made a profit.' Knowing that today will pass, and they might come next year or in two years when the Bitcoin price is higher, they'll start regretting again.

Cut yourself out of the regret pool by doing your best to acquire any amount of Bitcoin you can now. You can use DCA method or any method that works for you. Regret is not the way forward. Do you want to regret not investing today, just like you regretted not investing last 2 year?

Let the past be in the past; it has already happened. Think about what you can do now to acquire Bitcoin, invest in it, or grow your portfolio. That's what you should be focusing on.

Not many people understood the potential of Bitcoin two years ago, so it's understandable that you were unsure and didn't invest. But today, you have a choice: invest now and erase those regrets or continue regretting. Let's move forward; regret won't solve anything. Actions in the right direction are what matter.

Exactly, to me, it's a little bit of this and a little bit of that. You can't rely 100% on luck. When betting on sports, you look at the teams playing, their strengths, and their history of wins to get an edge. You can also visit a physical betting shop to listen to what people are saying and guide your betting decision. This approach increases your chances compared to betting blindly.

I think it's newbies who rely 100% on luck, because experienced bettors can't just bet blindly. the very least is you'll check out the teams playing, the type of game/ league they are playing, and other factors that determine the outcome. For me, it's a combination of luck and skills/ analysis that works If you don't want to lose your money completely.

From Liverpool's performance in the league to the final game yesterday, you could see they were putting in their best. They have the ability to work under pressure, and despite Tottenham starting to lead, they still pushed  forward. Arne Slot has really done a lot in solidifying the foundation that Klopp's left behind. Every single one of the players put in their best effort to ensure they brought home the trophy. I believe they'll keep it up because they can't just win the Premier League trophy and fall back; there are other teams on their shoulders for future game.

Another thing is the fan base. We often focus on the players and coaches, forgetting that we, the fans, also have a major role in boosting their morale. If their morale is low, they won't play well. The fan base was real and helpful, kept shouting and encouraging them. When you see fans behind you, you'll be hyped to do more. I'm happy for them; everywhere on my what'sapp status is just red sine yesterday.

What I think is that someone who has tried different method in sport betting can actually have a higher chance of winning like they've tried doubling when you lose or when you win,  using different statistic and analysis method, bookmarkers method, listening to public and adjusting bet at different time. 

You know studying teams closely and while they are changing all this method and trying different patterns, they keep betting with different amount , different times. So over time someone that has been a sport bettor for like 2-5 years or lore can at least have a certain level of understanding on the game and secured wins overtime

 They know what teams and games to bet on or avoid to help them have better chance of winning by that 80% success rate  all the time might not be really true because there is still luck factor in it and life can happen in a live game. I think people creating groups to say they can guarantee 80% success rate are just trying to say they have an edge and can put a newbie through.

The 80% success rate all the time is to get people interested, to give them fear of missing out because what works for A might not work for B and everyone might have to figure out what works for them eventually both for sport betting or casino games.

Most of these topics are already embedded in a subject in school. I know my country the schools teach commerce, marketing, financial accounting, business studies and so on.

 Then you find these topics inside it and you know school gives you like 30% the remaining 70%  is your research. How willing are you to go out there and get more knowledge, no matter how these things are taught in school if an individual does not take it upon themselves to learn more about it, it will just be like a knowledge they heard in class but they never really made use of it.

So teaching these courses in school will help give awareness, at least when they hear about it the interested ones will go dive deeper, I believe most of it is already existent and with the popularity of mobile phones and internet in us we are aware about trading crypto and things like this.

Exactly, focus on Bitcoin and even in buying, holding and trading Bitcoin be careful cause some people are also scam under it and if you want to try out other coin, like the author adviced, engage in community, go to their social media page try to interact with people talk, try to send their customer care agent messages and watch their reply.

See if people actually benefit from it, notice the trend, if it's one kind of people that are always responding or giving testimonies, just do a lot of research and social listening if you must invest in any other coin that is looking like it's the reigning coin.

There are adults in the room but majority of the adults are the ones that benefit from the wars and crisis and they've chosen to turn their face away from cries of the people and the other adults that may look like they're against the war are the minority of the adults in the room so they have little or no choice that to lower their voices.

You see money, fame, power, greed have blinded the adults in the room.

Our fantasies are for sure different from reality and it's okay to think of strategies to see how you can double your win but I will not advice going all in.

No matter what try to hold back some profit, whatever strategy you're using hold back some profit because if you go all in you can lose it all and it happens to the best one of us so make sure you're keeping some wins that you can use for other things.

You need to understand that people are different so you offer help according to the person, some people you can talk to them and they will take advice and adjust their mentality and their approach towards gambling while some people they need to learn from experience. I have a friend that learnt from experience he ended up in the police station for him to learn.

He literally borrowed money to gamble with the hope of getting ten times their amount but you know how the story goes he wasn't lucky and he couldn't pay back so he ended up in a police case that the family had to pay his dept. But as a friend you keep talking to this your friends or your family member that have this kind of mentality in order for them not to fall into temptation, at least you do your part as a friend before you let nature teach them.

Whether government agencies or institutions adopt Bitcoin more into the system or not, the fact is that there is no industry that doesn't need social media adaptation, no matter how big it is. Some brands have been around since you were a kid, and yet they're still active on social media, making posts and everything, because there's always room to grow.

You can't say social media adaptation is enough; more people are getting into social media, and more social media platforms are coming out. If you want your business to remain relevant, you need to adopt multiple social media platforms and improve your brand promotion. Bitcoin still has a space in educating people about what it is on social media. Despite the popularity of social media and Bitcoin, many people still don't understand it and find it technical.

I feel that crypto brands need to do more on social media to educate people rather than shifting focus. Many people view crypto as a scam due to negative experiences especially during TG airdrops, so crypto brands need to be active on social media and teach people more.

For sure, they say use money to chase money, meaning you have to invest your money in another thing. But one thing you need to know is that knowledge is very important. Having knowledge of which investment to make and how to do it right is important because scams are everywhere, whether it's real estate, Bitcoin, or whatever system you want to invest your money in.

The knowledge of it is very important, rather than taking action without knowledge. Some people read books and attend seminars but don't act on the knowledge they've received. That's why I say that acquiring knowledge and applying the knowledge increases your chances of success. The way you get practical knowledge on how to make money is by applying it, not just storing it. And yes, you shouldn't just save money in local currencies; look for ways to multiply it.

For sure, spiritual leaders in Nigeria have influence over their church members and followers, but I don't think they are willing to take that risk, especially in a sector they don't fully understand. Most of the fake ones focus more on getting their followers to give them money for church projects, praying for them, and so on. There's no way they will tell them about Bitcoin if they're not gaining from it.

You need to understand that people will preach about what they are gaining from. Genuine ones will preach about the kingdom of God and faith, but those looking for money will preach about what benefits them.

Imagine telling your church members to invest in Bitcoin when you're not the one selling it to them. Aside from the fact that they won't be getting profit, another issue is the nature of the Bitcoin market. When there's a downturn, church members won't understand, and most people who follow spiritual leaders aren't elders. If you convince them to put their money in and something happens, convincing them to be patient won't be easy.

They'll drag you down, and your entire ministry will go down in a blink of an eye. In fact, the spiritual leader will be in hiding.
I don't think any spiritual leader will take that risk. Plus, you don't really tell people how to spend their money because if anything goes wrong, whoever advised them through spirituality will be in trouble. Everybody will forget spirituality and go after that person with fire for fire.

I set a weekly budget, but I do adjust it when weekends have more games, because I bet more on weekends so i tend to have a higher budget on busy weekends, although it's a very minimal amount compared to my monthly income. What helped me stay in control was discipline over time.

When I newly started, I barely had control; I chased losses and had regrets. But, I've grown past that stage. Now, when I have a near miss, I end the game and walk away. When I lose, I end the game and walk away. When I win, I take a portion of it to play again another time, use some to enjoy good food, and save the rest for something outside of gambling. Discipline over time has helped me stick to my budget.

It's only natural that when you win, you feel excited. I mean, it's not every day you win in gambling. Sometimes the win is even unexpected, especially when it's 50x above the amount you wagered. Those huge wins that happen once in a while can make you go all out in excitement. Initially, when I first won a really good amount of profit, I found myself trying to get more, feeling like I'd cracked a code to win. But I ended up losing part of the money.

Now, when I have wins, I tend to enjoy my winnings by treating myself to good food that I barely eat daily. I put some back into my betting bankroll and use the rest for whatever I want outside of gambling. Its ok to get excited but what's important is how you control the excitement, because it's not wise to let it lead you to spend all your winnings or profits.

One difference I see between a businessman and an entrepreneur is diversification. A businessman might just focus on his business, ensuring it's working well and managing it properly. He might not necessarily introduce new things. For example, if he's  selling car parts, he might have different types of car parts, making the car parts store bigger and managing it.

On the other hand, an entrepreneur can diversify. They see opportunities in everything. An entrepreneur can start by selling car parts, then gradually introduce services like fixing car parts, home delivery of car assesories, and other related services. From one business, they can create multiple related businesses.

That's how I see an entrepreneur, they diversify a lot and tend to see opportunities where others see problems. Even during a lockdown, entrepreneurs can find ways to work. Instead of sitting idle, they think of something, offering their services from indoors.

Entrepreneurs have the ability to multitask, be proactive and have two, three, or four related businesses, rather than just focusing on one and managing it. That's one difference I see.

Because of unforeseen circumstances like this, as a human being, you're not supposed to be 100% strict on yourself. Some situations are out of your control. In a situation where your steady source of income stops, it's okay to take a break and focus on getting another source of income. It's not wise to start using your savings to build your portfolio, even if you're using the DCA method. Your savings won't increase either since you're not adding to it again.

The best thing to do is to look for another source of income. When you get one, you can resume. It's not a do-or-die affair. Don't overpressure yourself; give yourself grace during that period to take a pause. Then, go back into the job market or entrepreneurship. When you have money, you can continue.

Everyone has their profit margin. Like someone gave an example in the thread: if you bought Bitcoin at $10,000 and sold at $90,000, that's a profit. While I agree that when the market is ugly, do not rush to sell your Bitcoin because that's an opportunity for whaler's  to buy and accumulate more, so then when the market gets better, they can sell. If an individual feels they've made enough profit, then they're okay to withdraw their money.

But, if you don't have a certain profit margin in mind, don't withdraw 100%. You can take out 50% or 60% or whatever amount you feel is a profit compared to when you bought, and then keep holding the rest. But it's up to individuals to decide before making any decision about withdrawing your Bitcoin, I would say it's best to talk to a financial advisor, someone who can give you better advice on what to do.

Since you're afraid, you're trying to minimize loss. My advice is to start with sports betting where you can analyze a sports game, like the teams playing, even listen to the public, join and read through threads that talk about a particular game you want to bet on, it can give you an edge. You can also go to local betting shops to place your bet. Where you can see people's predictions too, it will give you more knowledge on what to bet.

Then, bet with a minimal amount, an amount that you can afford to lose. One step at a time, when you bet after doing analysis, your chances of winning are higher. At least, when you get winnings, you'll have more morale.

Also, I advise you to take cash-out options in games when they're available. This way, you wouldn't lose your entire money. You need to eliminate your fear because everything in life is a risk. There's no 100% guarantee in anything in life. You just take the risk and hope that something good comes out of it. But take calculated risks like do serious analysis to make your bet.

Where I reside, I feel like they don't prioritize security in local betshop because they don't see it as a profitable investment for them. To them, If you're coming in with a huge sum of money, they expect you to be your own security guard, to be security-conscious.

But I think it's necessary just to control the fights or heated arguments that often arise, especially in local betting shops. But the reality is  most local betting shops don't see security as a necessity; they just run their business, take their money, and are not interested in any investment that won't give them a return. They feel gamblers are adults, so they should know how to guard their money and emotions and avoid getting into fights.
