1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing time in gambling is worse than losing money. on: July 02, 2025, 07:21:33 PM
If you’re someone who values your time, you really need to be careful when taking risks in gambling. Always stay responsible to avoid this from happening. Instead of using that time to improve yourself, you get carried away and end up wasting it all on something that doesn’t even give you anything back.

Suggestions and advice are not enough to fully understand the message.

They are taking risks because no one knows what will happen.

A gambler should experience the actual worst things that can happen in gambling before learning the proper approach.


You are right about this, people take risks because they don't know if they might get lucky or not, that uncertainty is the reason why they go for it after all that's the reason why it's called a risk. And like you said there are somethings a gambler cannot learn without really experiencing it. It's very difficult to talk people out of what they are eager to try out in gambling, it's best to allow them learn from their experience

That's how gambling is designed to keep people or gamblers from coming back. People would always come back for more, especially after winning some surprising money. Even it means they 'll have to lose 10 times and win just once or twice.
Greedy and desperate people who wants to find easy money are usually the ones who keep doing this and they can be easily spotted on how frequent they are visiting the casino or online casinos.
One of the main reasons on why gambling business or industry is so profitable just because of gamblers who do keep on coming back just because they do wanted to make money or simply that win up the game on which we know that in game of chance on which gamblers are always at disadvantage and this is something that you do need up to realize in the first place. Yes, you arent just that losing up money but also you are losing that time as well on which you should have that make it use in other means or something which is productive. People do only make out those kind of realizations when they do experience the worst case scenario but they do end up on having that done it and the damage has already been that happening on whereas they can be able to avoid it out if they were just that sensible and responsible in towards their actions. Gamble for fun and entertainment and on a specific time period of duration on which it wont be compromising your time and other important things in life. Make it sure that gambling wont be affecting your negatively because at the moment that you do become that impulsive then this is where shit conditions would be kicking in like on the decisions you are taking forward into.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How it everyone feeling during this altcoin crash? on: July 02, 2025, 06:29:02 PM
I have been going over the screen shots I have taken of my portfolio over the last 6 months.

My portfolio was at its highest on the 7th December when it was +200% overall, it then went all the way back down to break even on the 7th April after the bad 3 months we had with trump and his tariffs and is now currently as I type +42%.

I am still waiting patiently for Bitcoin to hit new all time high and altcoins to pump 3-5x like they did end of last year and when that does happen I plan on taking out a lot of profit.
When it comes to portfolio holding then it will be needing up that extreme control and discipline plus patience so that you wont be ending up on having that panic sell with your current holdings. For you OP then its good that up to now you are be able to hold up your position and didnt panic sold on where there are people who have cut their loses believing that the market will be that going down into the floor. If you have seen that +200% in those previous months and now on BE and as of this time its up on +42% then expect that those numbers will be that climbing up again on which considering that we are on this bull run year then expect that those coins that being held will definitely go along with the Bitcoin trend specially that on bull run period. Although dont expect about on having that +500% or 1000% or even more, but we do know that there's no way that we can be able to tell on what would happen within this market on which its always been that unpredictable. Crash will definitely be happening after this bull run on which on the moment that the market will be having its bearish shift. Therefore, You should be that wise on taking up profits when the market is on its peak or on the time or moment that you have hit up your target and made out some buybacks when the market are on discount prices. If you are a real holder then you wont be caring at all on what would the price would be. It is just that it do need up that mental strength and will if we do speak about holding your position specially on a declining market on which not all investors will be able to do so.

I did not panic sell anything. I have been in crypto 3 years now and I have always said that I dont understand those who panic sell when the market goes down. It will always go down after seeing a big rally, you just have to hold through it all and wait for the market to go up again like it is now.

I expect new highs for Bitcoin in the next few weeks which should mean a good rally for altcoins too and when I am next back around +200% overall, I plan to take out a good chunk of profit.

My portfolio hit +200% in December, so I believe it can hit at least +300% overall later this year when Bitcoin is above $140k and many of my altcoins are 3-5x higher then they are now.
You do got the point and its good that you do have that kind of positivity but of course you should be setting out your expectations low because we do know that not all the time that situations would be that the same specially when it comes to pumping of price situation. Always consider out that there would be other factors that would be affecting out on projects movement or value of its coin/token. You might be able to make that gain in the past but it doesnt mean that it would be going that above in the future because it will be basing up into which coins that you are holding. What if the project has been abandoned by its dev? leaved out by its community? Not all projects that kissed down into the floor would be having its recovery and thats why its best that you should be that not expecting too much but since you are that still holding and been able to sustain for long then once you do able to make out some solid gains then selling it out immediately will be the best choice or best approach. You should be that knowing on what you should gonna do at times like these on which there's no way that you cant be able to determine on what are those probabilities on which knowing that chances could neither happen or not. This is why we can somewhat tell to ourselves that crypto investing does need up some sort of mix of luck when it comes into this aspect. You wouldnt know on what would happen next and if you arent that good on handling those expectations then it would be bringing out that huge disappointment.
3  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why does war always affect the price of Bitcoin on: July 02, 2025, 05:29:17 PM
I am not afraid of war because I know the price of bitcoin will still rise and it happened. The reason I think bitcoin price will fall a little would be bear market and the bear season will be over, making bitcoin get to all time high again and again.
War can really be threatening where lives and properties including our funds can be lost. But to the hedges of Bitcoin, we don't have to be afraid when holding our funds there.

During the war, the Blockchain can be safe while market values (Bitcoin price) can be negatively affected reacting to economic difficult times because once it has affected the stocks, investors are also affected so demands pressure will be weak. But when there had been hyperinflation, investors interests of buying increases and then giving the market the edge to rise again.

That in any case, we don't need to fear when experiencing that bear either in the name of war or economic manipulations because the price will always rise for sustainability rocket to ATH'S in due time.
To think off that its not always that these wars do make out some effect towards Bitcoin or simply with crypto space on which it would be that recommended that you should be that stil on trying out to look on because if we do speak about on the probabilities then it could always have that something to happen or having the chance and since we are dealing up with unpredictable and random chances then we cant be able to tell that we are indeed that saying that it will be giving out that guaranteed effect. Economic problems related could neither potentially make out effect or not and this what makes it that so hard for you to be able to consider out on taking up such step or decision because you dont know on where it would really leading into. This is why its important that when making up some investment os that you should be that only spending into the amount on which you can afford to lose so that when you do saw your Bitcoin or crypto investment is going south then you wont be finding yourself that being impulsive or having those kind of reactions on which it do shows about being that sensitive. Price could be affected on different ways or conditions on which it will be just that impossible that you cant be able to manage out on what are the steps or approach that would be having into this aspect.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: How popular is salary lottery in your workspace? on: July 01, 2025, 09:41:37 PM
In my region, salary lotteries are very popular in many workplaces. I don't know what's the exact English term for his but we call it that name. The purpose of salary lottery is that 5-6 employees collect together and they play lottery. The first winner gets the salary of every worker, in the next months the second winner gets everyone's salary and that's it. There isn't a random winner, everyone gets their salary back but the fate of who is the first person to receive the salary is decided via a simple coin flip.

For example, imagine that there are 6 people and salary of each person is $1000. They determine via coin flip who is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. First gets $6000 in the end of the month, in the next month, the second gets $6000 and in 6th month, the 6th person gets $6000. You may ask me how do they live for 6 months without a salary? Family members take care of them. Too many people work for fun because sitting at home is boring for them but they don't have enough money to have fun too.
Actually its not a gamble. Why? you arent that risking something and everyone do get that share. It is just that it turned out that you are getting that 6k in bulk or simply that 6 months in advance salary pay. If you do want to have some fun and could deal up with that kind of system then go ahead and join up but if you do seem that you do need up that $1k per month on budgeting and other means then you wouldnt be joining up this one. For those who had been that getting boosted up because they can make that 6k on a single shot then its good but it would be requiring that very strict budgeting because imagine that you wont be having any salary on the next 5 months on which you would be needing up to sustain. We do know that most of people wouldnt be that too good about budgeting their money specially if they've seen that they've been holding that big and become that confident that they can make it through until unexpected things do happen along the way. This is why I can say that it all matters about money management and if you do failed on this one then you would be having that huge problem on how to survive into those next months. This is why once you have decided on joining up this kind of salary lottery then make it sure that you are that good with financial management becuase if you dont then you are totally fucked up in the end.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 45K in debt due to Gambling on Betpanda on: July 01, 2025, 08:25:17 PM
Thank your for trying to encourage me !
I am trying to not gamble again but when thinking of the debt I have created I don’t really know what to do ..
It cannot paid from my salary at all
One month of my stupidity can cause the destroy of my whole life
You had to learn the hard way. Gambling is a choice, and you becoming addicted is a result of your poor choices. You're not the first one nor the last one to suffer the aftereffects of gambling addiction. However, it's wrong of you to expect money from the casino and trying to shift the blame, that's what you did in your initial post at least, as your attitude has shifted in the last few posts. Perhaps you've understood you were wrong, but the starting thread mentions only what the casino "should" have done according to you, but not yourself.

Anyway, you've messed up, badly, pull yourself together and start repaying what you owe. Don't gamble, ever again, it's not for you, and seek the assistance of a professional. Apart from that, there's no reason to discuss this even further, as there's nothing that can be done.
People do only make out those kind of realizations at the moment that they would be facing up some tough situation or unfortunate conditions on which we know that they might have been able to stop it midway if they were just that sensible into the things that they've been dealing into or specially with gambling on which this could be that resulting into disaster if you wont be having that proper management when it comes to funds. You would be ending up on having that deep debt if you arent that good when it comes into self control and awareness into your actions because on the moment that you have made yourself that delusional then you would be having that kind of thoughts that you will be that able to make tons of money towards on your gambling activity. If you are that just that having that awareness into your actions then you should have been able to stop midway or on the moment that you've seen yourself having that huge spending towards it, then it would be just that impossible that you cant be able to determine that its already that compromising you negatively on which making use of your own common sense and awareness will be telling you that you should be needing up to stop if you dont like on having that issue later on. You would definitely be ending up on having that tons of debt and ending up on sleeping on the streets if you wont be that sensible into the actions that you are taking on. Gamble for fun and entertainment and never ever that anticipate that you can always be having anymore to have that winning situation. Gamblers are designed to lose up in the end and thats why you should be that only making use of the amount on which you are that be able to accept and easily move on when you are that experiencing up some loses.
6  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Unlucky trader ‘qwatio’ liquidated 8 times in a week, loses $12.5M on: July 01, 2025, 02:35:02 PM
Is this unlucky or greediness?

I saw it on https://cointelegraph.com/news/trader-liquidated-eight-times-in-week-lookonchain

The trader is using high leverage like 25x to trade.

It is true that he is unlucky but this is what is happening to traders that is using high leverage. They have the money already but they just prefer to still use leverage.
When you are dealing up with higher leverage then it would be that also considered as to be that similar to gambling specially when you do get involved with high leverage traders. Some people are that risks takers but on the sense that they do become that gamblers. For those who had been that liquidated for huge amounts of money then we can be able to tell that these fellas are indeed that multi-millionaires on which there would be those kind of thinking or you would be having that such confidence at the time that you do make out some trades. The main thing that you would be having in mind is that you do have still the money that you can trade on and also for sure those amounts that you had obtained might be that also get into those trading activity that you do have or into those risks that you have done in the past on which it causing up that huge amount of profits and this is why you are that confident that too much that you can be able to hit up on the same moment or those chances. Whenever you are that having that kind of approach then in every high leverage trades you are taking then you will be that become that optimistic into the decisions you had made but since the market is always been that unpredictable and there's no such thing about guarantees then it will be bringing up that huge loses and could cause up that huge disappointment and frustration. Loses could be sky is the limit on which it will be basing up on your financial capacity on which we know that not all will be that the same when it comes into this level.
7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: One trading strategy is enough. on: July 01, 2025, 11:14:46 AM
I am not sure that any trader would have a working strategy and instead of using it consistently to make money they resort in learning more and more strategies. A good trader should have one main working strategy and an alternative strategy to apply when the market misbehaves. We know how dynamic and unpredictable the market can be, that is why an alternative option is required.

We should understand that strategies get outdated and new ones emerge. That is why no one should just be absolutely comfortable with a strategy even if it works effectively.

One trading strategy is actually enough until it’s no longer working for the trader, although an alternative strategy could be important in a way that if the one a trader is using is not working effectively, he can quickly switch to the alternative one. Instead, he should go learn a new one. If he already has a new one that he can apply, the market is very unpredictable. And one must work very smart in the market; if not, even with the knowledge, a trader will find it difficult to make money from the market.
One of the main reasons on why traders do suffer out some loses because of strategy hopping. Actuallly its not bad to do such act because we would be that trying out to make those trials and errors on which we will be testing out on how we will be become profitable out of those strategies that we do make use on. Somehow, with having this kind of testing out different strategies then you would be that becoming having that kind of confusion towards your mind on which you will be having that kind of hopping on which despite of being not done with the new one. We do know that on the moment that you will be that too active on testing out strategies to find out on which one is working then it will be causing up that kind of confusion. If you do find out that one is working on the moment you do trade then it do make out some loses on the another day then you would be keeping on doing the same stuff all over again. It all matters about on how you do make yourself that control at the moment that the market do make out that opposite direction basing up on what we have analyzed. Trading is never been easy and it wouldnt be but it doesnt mean that it would be impossible for you to make money as long you do know on what you are doing or you do know on how to ride with the waves. What matter the most on here is on how we do sustain ourselves towards this market and this isnt a race as we do all know and its bad to have such approach just incase you do made out such action.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Basic rules in gambling on: June 30, 2025, 02:56:41 PM
Gambling is not supposed to be taken very seriously because that goes against the purpose of why we gamble and it prioritizes money over fun.

I agree with all other things that we can simply put under a tab called responsible gambling so just bet an amount that is small for you and explore which games you like and don't bet with the intention of winning the bet then you are not going to be in a trouble.

Whether you bet with the intention of winning the bet or not what's meant to happen is definitely going to happen. Gambling is all about timing, when you place your bets at the wrong time you'd lose. But still, you have a point, the reason why you should stop thinking about winning is because when you focus too much on making Profit you become addicted and overly obsessed with it and you can get frustrated when you lose
We can't make it happen either it's lose or win but if we want we can chose to avoid both win and loss and that is what we call responsible gambling to know our limits and when to bet and when to stop. If someone is feeling frustrated because of the loss then it's about time to take a break for a while that doesn't necessarily mean addiction but if the person can't stop despite knowing the bad feeling about it then it's reached a stage called addiction that needs to be assessed further by the professionals.
Doesnt matter which one you would be that dealing into on which whether you are doing betting or gambling on casinos on which the key on here for you not to be able to experience out such shit condition is that you should be that making yourself that responsible. Always be resonsible at the time or moment that you do deal up with betting or gambling and this is somewhat the basic rules on dealing up with it because usually gamblers do end up miserable just because they have forgotten the most common rule on which its basic but majority do fail on following into specially when it comes to financial management. Gamble for fun and entertainment and not for making money should be your outmost priority. Always be considerate about into the actions you are taking and if you do find yourself have been able to reach your limit then it will be just that recommended that you do know on what you should gonna do and dont force yourself to play specially when you are already that blowing up your entire account. Always make sure that you are still in control not only into your mind but also into your emotions because this will be primarily the main problem on which gamblers will be needing up to control at the moment that they are on such condition or scenario.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: From Employee to Entrepreneur on: June 30, 2025, 12:35:14 PM
Every entrepreneur has his own journey. Many are from grand back round and they are eating the reward of hard of their elders . They did hard work and saved lot of things for them . Few entrepreneurs are from poor background and they did hard work and completed degree and after they did job for government. They got their passion in a business and they did many investments and quit job . People are facing the problems to be entrepreneur but few are successful due to their again and again effort.Hard work is important if you are beginner and you are from poor family and you have to learn more skills in life and these will make you rich in next coming years.
No one can predict a person's future, entrepreneurs who come from great backgrounds only inherit the business from their parents, they can only live it without understanding the basic values ​​or how to build a business from scratch. Entrepreneurs who come from poor backgrounds are always looking for ways to build their business empire to grow further, they are very motivated by what they do because they have gone through a long process, they will do everything they can to avoid falling back to zero.
Success is not only assessed when someone has succeeded, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the process that they have gone through, this analogy is the same as a user who has succeeded in reaching the Legendary rank, newbies certainly want to be at that rank as soon as possible, but getting there is not easy and not all of them succeed.
There's no such thing about assurance about on what the future would it be on which just like been said that results or outcomes could be that different even if we do say that you have come into a family on which do have that huge business and you are the ones who do able to inherit it but still you do end up on failing or bankrupt because you havent been able to handle it well. There are those who do took up some loans just be cause they dont have enough capital to start up a business and they have tried or risks out on taking up such step and it turned out that they have been able to achieve it out. Although not all have been ended up on failing but its better rather than on not to take any risks at all. We do know that there's no guarantee when it comes to making business or investment but it doesnt mean that it will hinder you out on taking up such step. If you are that contented on what you do have now then it will be that up to you but if you are having some plans on having that better financial status or condition then taking up such step will be your best option to take and it will be that up to you on how you would gonna handle it out because you cant just that make yourself that taking up some business decisions without having preparations or plans.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitter truth a real trader must learn on: June 27, 2025, 05:38:42 PM
One bitter truth most of us failed to realize is that trading and cryptocurrency may not be for everybody. When I heard about how a guy lost a huge amount of money on a simple trade taken of the war news and it went against him, that's when I realized that if it's a must for you to trade and you don't want to lose, doing these 3 things might actually help (this is my own opinion as a profitable trader).

The first thing is having to learn and relearn, and use that knowledge in trading big and solid coins like $BTC, $ETH, $SOL on spot trading- at least you don't lose there unless you sell.

The second thing is knowing where to be greedy and where not to, most especially when trading newly listed on-chain projects. Let me take all these new ones as examples: $NEXUS, $BaoBao, $BUNK, $CARV, and also $ACID. Along the line, I decided to pick one to trade on-chain; I won't just pick but rather check the score and do due diligence to see the one doing great in trade, and after seeing a 15% profit, I'm okay.


Lastly, learn how to keep your profits and never use them to trade. Shalom!

Things may not always go according to your predictions and logic when trading. No matter how careful you are, it still carries a big risk, and this increases even more in cryptocurrencies, namely altcoins. You cannot analyze meme coins or similar newly released coins very well, there is no basis. I understood that your profit expectation is lower percentages, why don't you do it only in bitcoin and ethereum. And you will finish this complexity in your head and your money will be in safer assets.
When dealing up with meme coins then there's no way that you can be able to make out some analysis into it on which it will be that understandable because these are some sort of joke tokens that are made off based purely on community hype on which it would be that so hard for you to be able to determine or applying out some analysis because these are the earliest times on which you cant be able to apply out some analysis on which it is hard. This is why I do fully agree or we do all agree that dealing up with meme coins are consider that to be a gamble because you cant be able to apply some analysis into it and just that purely that hoping that community hype and interest. In speaking about those established coins out there then you do need up to consider out on applying some analysis into it. We do know that when it comes into this approach then you do need up to do such action for you to be able to sustain out. Becoming a real trader does particular mean that you had equipped yourself the proper way on how to deal up with this unpredictable space plus that risks handling. Although this wont be giving out that kind of guarantee because market is unpredictable and there's no way that we can be able to have that 100% sure trade or win. Learning is a never ending process on which you would be needing up to apply into those learnings that you do accumulate or learn along the way on which you can be able to use it on next time when you do encounter on the same situation. There would be tons of variations on which you would be able to find yourself on how you would be able to adjust accordingly.

Improving your abilities to get what you want is something must be done by those who want to change their lives. This is not easy but by continuing to study hard, they will surely see that their abilities will slowly change.

We must make changes in ourselves especially if we have a target to achieve. We cannot leave that lesson because that is the path we must take. We must be sure that what we are doing now will provide something good and big in the future. So by always learning in the field we are working in, we can certainly make improvements. You don't need to wait too long but you should do that immediately because time will not stop or getting slow.

If you care with yourself, you should take action by learning harder than others.
Or simply that needs up for you to upscale or a upskill if you do wanted up to have further changes on which it would be that needing up for you to made out some potential on hitting up another opportunity to get wealthy but of course it might not be guaranteed but at least you do know on what you are that indeed doing and since we are talking about improvement then it would be that understandable that you would be needing up for you made out such action for you to have that kind of opportunity or chance. It all matters about on your mentality because there are things that we do want to do but ending up on not to happen or simply failing it out because you didnt made out such act. When someone is that eager on trying out to achieve something then you would be making out some research and sees out on which one do works and which are the things that you do need up to avoid. There's no assurance that you can be able to succeed but just like been said that you are the ones will be able to assess and sees out on what are the things that needs up to consider. If you do saw into yourself that you are lacking into something before you can be able to reach up something then its common sense that you would be needing up to make out such changes or adjustments.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you see casino welcome bonuses as worth grabbing - or just a waste of time? on: June 26, 2025, 09:20:00 PM
We all know casinos use these welcome offers to attract gamblers. And yes, the bonus sounds good on paper. But actually,  they come with all kinds of terms and conditions. It’s not exactly charity, they just highlight the possible wins to lure people in.

In your experience, do you still chase those welcome bonuses? Or do you just stick to a few trusted, well-known casinos and ignore the bonus hype?

Ride or die isn't it! Grin I do have bonus on my dashboard, sometimes I get coupon to also slash my stake but do you know the one I chose between these two, I use coupon because it doesn't comes with condition on my withdrawal but you see bonuses, there is conditions that comes with it and they don't sit well with me. I don't like them, they remain on my dashboard until they expire, you don't expect me to bet three times just to be able to cashout my money.

The time I will waste in trying to win money using bonus, if I put effort on my one money I will make three tomes withdrawal before I make one time withdrawals on bonuses. To me, if you like it and you have the time to be wagering the amount until the condition is met, then that's fine but I don't like the bones. If you struggle to put u d your casino account, that maybe the fasted way to make some money but you know what you will go through, it will be more than stress.
The only time that you would be using up these bonuses is on the moment that you do first time on doing gambling or lets say at the time that you are still a noob on which you dont know on what are those terms and conditions with these bonuses have. You would be seeing these to be some sort of free money additional into your capital but sooner or later at the time that you've seen that you do need up to hit up those roll overs before you would be able to make up some withdrawal then this is something that you must able to hit before you can pull those amounts on which this is the moment that you would be telling into yourself on what the hell with these terms on which for sure on next time you wouldnt be that be interested with these bonuses on which you would be that feeling it out to be some sort of trap. On the time or moment that you do realize things then this is where you would be finding yourself that its all useless and on next time you would definitely be avoiding these bonuses because of the terms and conditions on which its never been worth not unless if you are that trying out to play gambling for fun and wanting to have that more capital or bankroll then these bonuses would be your best shot but of course you do need up to deal up with the terms and if you are already that accepting it out then this should be just fine.
13  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My Biggest Trading Mistake and What it Taught me on: June 26, 2025, 08:15:53 PM
I believe that so many traders have made certain mistakes that they wished they could go back in time to correct. Well mine was actually following advice from friends who posed as experts without doing my own research.

A friend would say "Buy this coin now coz it is going to pump in days or months to come" and without even thinking I would just rush to buy the coin- no research, no planning, no strategy, nothing at all.

Sometimes I made profits from this coin no doubt but most of the times the coin would simply crash so badly that it returns me to square one. The losses were painful, but they taught me lessons I feel are worth sharing, especially with other beginners out there threading the same path.
Here are the lessons I learnt
1) Don't blindly trust signals, take your time to access and verify it.
2) Do your own research(DYOR), coz it gives you confidence and control.
3) FOMO and panic selling are dangerous. Rather be patient and disciplined.
4) And lastly, Don't Invest more than you can afford to loose.


The last point is very important especially if you are a beginner, investing what you cannot afford to lose is very risky. Rule number one is understanding risk management. You can't make all the money you want from trading in a short period of time, so there's no need to rush the process. Investing low amounts also gives you the opportunity to learn more, profit isn't something that comes fast
Actually this is the rule that everyone should be that considering in the first place or before they would be trying out to touch up this space or lets say when they do make out some investment on which its always been that recommended that you should be that only investing into the amount on which you can afford to lose. Never ever make yourself that trying out to go all in or compromising specially our life savings or emergency funds. Im not saying that you shouldnt be a risks taker but we do know that there's an allocation for everything and if you do find yourself that trying out to put it up all then it turns out for you to become a gambler already. Always set out limits because not all the time results and outcomes will be coming or happen on what we are that needing up to be. Mistakes and errors do happen and if you arent that careful into the steps that you are taking into then you will definitely be facing up some issues on which it will be that resulting into disaster and if you arent that mindful with that then it will be giving out that impact into your life. Self realizations and learnings could be acquired through your mistakes on which it will be something that makes you learn and realize that there are things that shouldnt be supposedly to be that treated up that way. Always be realistic and always make yourself that being versatile on different conditions because if you are someone whose close minded and doesnt accept errors then emotions will be your main enemy most of the time.
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Movement: Is It Just Market Activity or Now Fundamentally Driven? on: June 26, 2025, 03:33:03 PM


So the big question remains:
Is BTC still mainly driven by trader activity and technical patterns, or are we seeing a shift where global fundamental events - like wars and diplomacy - are steering the market?

Well IMO both trader activity and global events are linked with general market
movements.

We also got to remember the Bitcoin market is open 24/7/365 and to anyone with
$10 or $100,000 and this adds to the  way the market can move when something
big globally happens.

The market has already moved up to $105,000 in conjunction with the Israel/Iran ceasefire.
On which this do shows that the recent war didnt made out such much effect into the price or crypto market. Yes, we did made out some price decrease but its not something that you can be able to connect it out.
It is just that like an ordinary day movement on which we can be able to tell that fundamentals and news doesnt always give out such impact and thats not something new. Its not bad to assume since War is indeed a very significant thing that could affect out economic conditions on which this could be seen into the past on which affecting out those traditional markets but we do know that crypto market isnt something that we can say that it would be always having that kind of impact specially if there would be some situations such as this. It could moved out randomly without any valid reason behind and just like on the recent events on which the entire crypto community had been that expecting that it will be taking up some dive but it didnt happen on which this do simply shows that not all the time it will be giving out that kind of effect and thats normal.

Movement could neither be having that reason behind or just that totally random and thats why you cant be able to apply always having that fundamental analysis and its effect, but its not that bad for you to assume out with those potential effects on which it could make that significant move and you can that act fast at your advantage.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Your preference between the stock & bitcoin market. on: June 26, 2025, 12:57:08 PM
We have known the stock market as a means of investment for a long time. Again, Bitcoin started its journey since 2009 and it has also gradually become known as one of the means of investment. So we can say that both platforms are good means of investment. But there are many differences in the risk, return, stability and future prospects of investing in these two platforms. Making a profit by investing in the stock market depends on which company shares you buy? Moreover, when you buy the shares and whether you buy the shares at a low price or at a high price and when you sell them again, these things have a great impact on the survival of investing in the stock market. Again, since the stock market is under the government of its own country, if there is political instability, it has an impact on the stock market. As a result, the share price of the companies decreases and there is a possibility of loss to customers. However, this is not always the case. If the environment and everything is right, there is a possibility of good profits coming from here and many people have benefited from investing from here. But in the current stock market, there is no opportunity to make profits like before. Many new rules and regulations have been added here. On the other hand, if Bitcoin can be held for a long time, then according to Bitcoin's past record, the possibility of loss from this is very low. It is a decentralized system. Here anyone can manage their investment work independently from any country.

Well said though. If we want to also consider this fact drastically, they both have advantages over each other but to keep it straight, one can actually survive in the stock without investing on bitcoin but can't survive if it only Invested on bitcoin without the stock giving the remark that bitcoin is volatile which investors can only give profitable accounts in a long term and unpredictable.
But I'd talk about one that has a more profit returns and potentials pertaining Privacies and more convenience to invest in, then bitcoin takes the lead due to it digital market and decentralization.
you nailed it, Both stock market and Bitcoin market are great tools for investment, but stock market has good returns if you know what are doing, and stock market has less risk then crypto but you have you chose the stocks smartly, Stock picking is not easy I would say that not all stocks created equal meaning there are very good companies and also bad ones too Bitcoin is very volatile and has very good risk to return, it up to persons goal what he wants they both are great tools to have clearly if a person want slow and steady it can go with stocks if he wants to play big go with Bitcoin, we should invest in both to spread our risk there is saying we should not put our all eggs in one basket yeah we should use both of them.
Any market could give out that good return but of course it will be just that still depending on how well you do made out such engagement or simply making up some good trades. It is just that what Bitcoin do have that kind of advantage because of the level of volatility on which we cant be able to deny that one of the main reasons on why people or other traditional market traders had transferred themselves into crypto space just because of the potential profits that they could get in a short period of time or lets say that which is way more better rather than on trading on stocks, forex or indices. I have lots of forex traders friends who do made out such switch just because they are that liking the volatility level on what this market do have and this is why we cant be able to blame out into those people who do have that kind of perception. On the moment that you do step your foot into this market then you would definitely be having that kind of observation or you would be able to experience for yourself on how good to make money or level of % gain on crypto space but of course this isnt something that you can just that rely into because it do same goes with loses too.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can winning $50 make you incredibly happy? on: June 25, 2025, 06:35:29 PM
Every winning I make, whether it was $5, $10, or $50…I'm already happy with that. Why? because this never happens every day. If I lose yesterday and win today, at least I make some recovery. But it was a different feeling when you were winning the jackpot prize. Unfortunately, it was not given to everyone. That is why, even if it was small, we must feel contentment.

If we want to enjoy our gambling journey, we also know how to appreciate small wins. At least we know ourselves that we are not too unlucky and likely have the chance for the big wins.

Good point, if you want to simply just to enjoy appreciating your small earnings can keep you motivated, same with you a win still a win and much better than losing your capital right? So no matter how small your profits you can continue enjoying it and use it as additional capital or use it to treat yourself a drink, or whatever you think that may allow you to feel that you are good on particular gambling game that you earn your profits.

the secret to be happy is keeping expectations low
have you seen these situations where people are miserable because their expectations are just so high it's impossible to reach it?
on the other hand if you are expecting zero then receiving any prize, even as small as 50 usd it can be huge and a big source of happiness

I think for the main question it'll depend on how much the person earns and how much money is a lot or a little for them
Thats the key on which you do need up to set your expectations low so that if ever you would be losing then it wont be hurting you that much in compared into those people who are expecting too high at the moment that they do gamble. Winning amount would be depending on several factors on which it would be depending on how much you had bet on and on how much you had been able to win. Winning amount would vary and that contentment that you would be having at the time that you do able to hit up those wins. If someone becomes happy with $50 then so be it and just let them be on cherishing out those wins and we do know that not all people do live on 1st trier countries on which 50 bucks is just that small or isnt something significant or something that could make you happy. For me on my amount then it would be somewhere in between $100-200 on which this is something that I can buy and could be able to hang out with my family with that amount on which eating into a restaurant with those winnings or buying up some small electronic gadgets like mouse or keyboards or any.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance's will function after death... Perfect for bitcoin on: June 25, 2025, 05:29:11 PM
CZ proposed this I think two weeks ago, but my advise to people is that they should not hold any coins on an exchange except the money they are actively using to trade.

The best place to hold your coins are on cold noncustodial wallet that are open source.

People should learn about multisig, timelock and other inheritance means.
The most preferred way but I do believe that there would be those people who would be making use of this feature because they dont want to hassle themselves on keeping out their keys but instead they would be that trying out to put up their coins into the exchange and trying to make use of this one and be contented and confident that once they do passed away then their family would be that told into, but here are the possible situtation could happen before you do possibly passed away unexpectedly:

1. Exchange hacks before you die.  Grin
2. Binance would be just that simply keep silent after you die, since your family doesnt know about your holdings then they can opt in not to give it into your family.
3. Setting up a will and wallet lock on a custodial service is a big NO-NO.

Nothing beats out if you are the ones who had been holding your coins into your own open source, non custodial wallet and having that full control.
Setting up things in regarding about inheritance isnt that hard to follow after all.
18  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My Biggest Trading Mistake and What it Taught me on: June 25, 2025, 02:56:04 PM
I believe that so many traders have made certain mistakes that they wished they could go back in time to correct. Well mine was actually following advice from friends who posed as experts without doing my own research.

A friend would say "Buy this coin now coz it is going to pump in days or months to come" and without even thinking I would just rush to buy the coin- no research, no planning, no strategy, nothing at all.

Sometimes I made profits from this coin no doubt but most of the times the coin would simply crash so badly that it returns me to square one. The losses were painful, but they taught me lessons I feel are worth sharing, especially with other beginners out there threading the same path.
Here are the lessons I learnt
1) Don't blindly trust signals, take your time to access and verify it.
2) Do your own research(DYOR), coz it gives you confidence and control.
3) FOMO and panic selling are dangerous. Rather be patient and disciplined.
4) And lastly, Don't Invest more than you can afford to loose.

1. You cant trust anyone when it comes to crypto investment, always thing off that they are just that trying to hype things up and you are the ones become the liquidity. So be careful.
2. Its always been that recommended on having that own research as always. Even though you have lost up money but there's no sense of regret because it was your full decision on investing into something rather than on investing just because of some recommendations or suggestions.
3. FOMO and panic isnt always that bad and it had been saved me up for how many times on meme coin investing on which i have told myself that it was just that right decision on cutting lose rather than ending up on holding worthless coins into my bag.
4. Its the golden rule as always on which you shouldn't be investing into the amount on which you cant afford to lose. Its something that wont be able to compromise your life savings or emergency funds.
    Stick into this plan then you would be just that fine.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Know the fake airdrops signs today! on: June 24, 2025, 08:59:58 PM
These are common signs that scammers often do, but some scammers also have other ways to trick their victims very well.


There are many considerations that online crypto users should take into account. Some simple loopholes can lead to very positive outcomes for scammers.

Somehow giniune! TThe scammers. They are always here, and as security measures improve, they develop their skills and methods to get more victims.
Certainly, the most important method they rely on is lack of concern from regular users for protecting their personal information, including the private keys and privacy applications, not just the seed passwords.

They are becoming more innovative now and trying to make their project looks legit.

That's why aside from considering those things mentioned people should be vigilant on the intention or even transparency of the people running the project. Since even if they look good there's still huge instances that they will turn into as scam.

What people need to understand that anything to good to be true is not true, also don't pay upfront when they want to participate on airdrops since they might just end up getting scammed with this.  I guess there's lots of learnings from this kind of topic so for sure that newbie would learn a lot if they are just eager on doing research on the projects they wish to join.
Of course on which they would be that always become innovative because once their modus or ways been busted up then they cant be able to scam and hack people. This is where they would be making out those new ideas on how they would be scamming out people and trying out to make themselves look as legit as they could. Scammers and hackers will be always there as long this market is running then they would be trying out to victimized those greedy newbies that wants to have easy money. Now that we are talking airdrops then it could be that classified into two on which there are ones who do need up some money or capital for you to maximize profitability or able to do the given tasks and there are those airdrops which are that free of cost on which actually it should be free in the first place but since airdrops tasks are becoming that bit more complex in comparing into the past then its normal that there would be that adjustment. So it will be that up to you on how you would be able to detect those things on early basis because not all airdroppers do have that common sense on dealing up on which as long they can do the tasks well then they would be doing it specially into those who do deal up with free airdrops but of course its not totally free since you are putting up your time and effort on doing up such tasks on which these might not be having that monetary value but its still that worthy and not something that needs up to be wasted. Doing airdrops could be time consuming and this is why its recommended that you should be doing it on your free time or vacant and also dont put up your focus into its since this cant be possibly be generating some good money in the end of the line. There are tons of factors that affect out when it comes to profitability or free money into this one.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on the war on: June 24, 2025, 07:26:01 PM
When the Pope was being decided in the conclave, people were betting on it. When there was hurricane or typhoons, people would also bet on the casualties. Have you seen people bet on about the war between Iran and Israel and now USA too?

If yes, do you think it is morally or ethically correct? For me, no. There are real people's lives at stake here. I think it is so tone deaf for people to bet on their lives. What do you think?

Watching the war on TV or through other channels brings so much pain. Seeing families cry over dead or wounded relatives is a sight that can be heartbreaking. 

I would never bet on any conflict or war, regardless of how profitable it might seem. I am also not a fan of betting on religious activities because it might be offensive to believers. I am a sports bettor, but I also don't bet on violent sports. Gambling should be for entertainment and not to derive pleasure from people's pain.
Betting on the war is unethical because lives, properties are at stake. I actually believe that victims of the current war will actually feel heartbroken when they realize that people are betting on their current status. However, no one involved in the war will ever get on it, it will be those who's in a peaceful region that will bet on the war. Although, there are people who can do anything to get the money. If they sees that they can make money from the war they will get on it and take their money, but truth be told that it's selfishness and not smartness.
Very unethical but we do know that not all people would be having on the same insight about it because they wont be caring about peoples lives as long they can make bets and make money then they would be betting and wouldnt be caring about other peoples condition in other side of the world. There are just that those kind of bets that its not being ethical for you to bet on but for those bookies and since they are running a business on which they would be offering it out as long they've seen that there's a demand or recognition into it on which they will be diving it out since its money and in todays world on which money is almost everything and it doesnt goes beyond with those aspect whether its ethical or non-ethical as long they can be able to obtain that kind of advantage or benefits then they would definitely be doing it. For me then I would definitely be having that hard pass when it comes into this aspect but it would be just that depending on you on how you would be choosing up things accordingly.
