162  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is not very easy; it took my friend a long time to understand. on: December 08, 2023, 07:30:21 PM
Even successful traders today have also learned trading in a very hard way and it really takes time before they can finally say that they can trade with confidence. I guess everyone here has learned trading not only for weeks or months, but years in trading in the market. The more often you exercise trading, the higher the chances you will master trading in the market, but that does not guarantee that you can avoid inevitable losses from trading.

Trading is a mental game. You need to increase your knowledge as well as with your skills and developed strategies. And with patience, you can go a long way with trading.
163  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would it be enough to buy 100 dollars worth of Bitcoin every month? on: December 08, 2023, 03:38:22 PM
I'm preparing for the college entrance exam to go to college, so I can't make money from working. I get about $100 of allowance from my father every month. I use all of them to buy bitcoin because I can use father's credit card for expenses such as food, clothes. I can buy Bitcoin on a satoshi basis every month, but when I see people buying Bitcoin basis on the internet, I feel like I'm too behind myself. Maybe they have a much higher income than me because they have a job. I think I can only invest $100 a month for the next year or two, would that be enough? I am worried about missing big bull market with halving and etf approval.
You said that you are preparing to go to college, then why are you investing instead of saving? Let me clear it to you that bitcoin investment does not give guarantees that it will result into quick profits, so you can't expect that you will receive your profits when you needed it so badly. Bitcoin is a long term investment, hodling it for 5-10 years would give you maximum amount of profits.

However, if you insist investing, then $100 is already a good amount. But let me remind you to invest an amount that you won't be needing anytime soon. If you want, lessen your budget and reserve some spare money on your unexpected expenses later on. That is way more convenient for you.

Sorry to hear about what your family has gone through. Your family will overcome all of it in time. However, with regards to your concern, since you're still a newbie and has no good experiences in the market be it long term hodling or trading, then it's best to study first the market well through this forum and understand the rules in the forum. If you never go against with the rules, then you're safe and would stay longer learning in this forum.

For now, it's hard to find a source of income since you're still in the process of learning. Rank up first from your position and learn from those reputable members how to make quality post, that way you can be qualified for signature campaigns in the future. Don't jump into investing or trading, but learn first from the experiences of other members and try to analyze and assess the risks first if you are capable to overcome it or you might be like other newbies that end up quitting and regretting.
165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for newbies on: December 08, 2023, 11:22:48 AM
Hello everyone, as you can see I'm new here, I'm looking for recommendations for a game to bet some money that I don't mind losing, I would like recommendations and if possible a recommendation for somewhere that teaches how to play. Thank you very much. Grin
As long as you only gamble on a small amount basis, then for sure you would not mind losing them all. But be reminded that newbies in gambling often lose than win, most especially if you are not skilled enough on your chosen games. However, I suggest you go on the games that best suits your interests, that way you only need big amount of luck for you to win. And if you have good background with different sports, then sportsbetting is a good choice for you.

Make sure to bet on reputable sites, and not on shady sites or areas. Newbies who have less experience in gambling might be more tempted for big promotions and offers, and that's okay as long as you do it on reputable sites.
166  Economy / Economics / Re: #HODLing is not a smooth journey on: December 07, 2023, 09:37:32 PM
When you think of the word hodling, that's actually very easy to make it happen. Until you finally realized that hodling in the crypto market is not at all easy and have a lot of risks and temptations that you need to overcome. The important thing here is that you don't need to sell your coins early as it may lost the potentials for future profits, and early selling would mean selling at loss for some.

Bitcoin is highly volatile that makes the crypto market more unpredictable. So the safest option is just to hold your coins in an indefinite time, and don't fall on panic selling when you see all your coins are dropping their value because obviously, that won't be permanent. They will eventually recover their prices soon. Patience is the key.
167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 07, 2023, 08:30:48 PM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.
I guess everyone experience behavioral changes when gambling. Gamblers have a lot of emotions, it showed when they're happy and winning, same when they're sad and losing. So expect that when you see a gambler at loss, never try to annoy him, otherwise you will receive your reward after. But make fun for those who are gambling in profits, because surely they will appreciate your jokes even more.

However, for those who answer no, I think they are still starting to gamble and still learning to appreciate gambling. But when they get used to gamble in most of their life, which means that losing will be a lot, tell me then if they are still unaffected with gambling most especially if they are in the losing end.
168  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your big plans for the Bitcoin halving coming up in a few months? on: December 07, 2023, 11:42:28 AM
No other plans but to maximize my purchase with bitcoin, and the best remedy for that is to maximize doing DCA as well. Although some altcoins might also show its hidden potentials, but I know FOMOing with altcoins is not actually the best decision, even though it could sometimes work for others.

My big plans are all for bitcoin. I have seen the previous bitcoin halving, and I love the feeling getting massive profits with bitcoin, so I'm doing it all again.
169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will you say within your limits to encourage responsible gambling? on: December 07, 2023, 09:05:11 AM
If you work as a staff member in a physical casino as a dealer or in a sports bookie, I know that there are subtle ways you can use to encourage responsible gambling that will not go against the terms and conditions for staff.

For example, suppose you encounter a gambler who has wagered $200 at the table and is currently winning $6k. Would you express to them, "Hey, you're up $6k, and you initially entered this table with $200. Walk away, Take your winnings, go!" or will you say, "It is very admirable to know when to stop"?

What will you say within your limits to encourage responsible gambling?
You cannot expect from these staff members that they will tell you to stop gambling or continue to gamble more. Instead, they will only give you their best services so that you will be more encourage to stay in the casino longer. Gambling is a business so as much as possible, they will do everything to increase their profits, even if the gambler itself is already struggling on his finances.

Gamblers should be aware already how to be responsible on their gambling habits prior to gambling. Staffs have also their own jobs, and reminding those gamblers how to be responsible will never be part of their job description.
170  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: help me not to leave btc on: December 06, 2023, 09:46:44 PM
You don't need a mindset but discipline in yourself. If your aim is to stay longer with bitcoin and see yourself in progress, then never entertain negativity and always motivate yourself to grow as a bitcoiner, which means you need to take risks without being fearful and you need to go out from your comfort zone.

Bitcoin is a high risk asset and riskful journey. If you can't motivate and discipline yourself, then it's clear that your fate is not in bitcoin.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 06, 2023, 08:17:37 PM
Read this transcript of Andreas Analogy of how gambling addiction kicks off and tell me if you think he is right or not. Basically, your opinion.

Gambling is a tax for people who don't understand the mathematics of probability. If you understand how probability works,  you can't ever rationally gamble. The only reason you would gamble is if you decided, "I am going to lose money; the fun I have while I am losing money is worth it." "I am paying a fee for temporary fun." But most people cannot do that. Once you become drawn into the game, the gambling process triggers these responses. You start getting confirmation bias, selection bias, and survivor bias. These are known cognitive biases. The person who wins thinks they were lucky, but they don't think about all the times they lost. As you are doing this, it is triggering your dopamine centers.
I believe every gambler itself is aware that gambling is more of a probability, that's why some smart gamblers do not gamble if they think there is high probability of losing than seeing theirselves winning. But I don't think this is how addicted gamblers are starting to develop. But in most cases, it's the greed of money and the desire to see theirselves always in profits made them highly attracted to gambling and eventually, made them gambling addicts.

Gambling has its own way of deceiving the people most especially for those who have high passion in betting. Regardless if gambling is all about probability or not, that is not the case anymore as gamblers only focus on the possible profits they can gain in the future, that is if luck favored them everytime they decide to gamble.
172  Economy / Economics / Re: Idea and money are very important to investment. on: December 06, 2023, 02:20:51 PM
To invest it is very important to have a plan and idea about the investment and the next step is to have money. When it comes to investing, I value ideas and planning more than money. That's why I take investment planning and investment ideas seriously because if our ideas and plans are not right then we can definitely lose money. Investing so that we can keep our money safe, we need to know about investments. Those who invest in Bitcoin for the long term do not need to do much planning or research into the market as the small fluctuations in the market may not affect an investor much when investing for the long term.

But without money, how can you invest and promote your ideas? I think ideas, plans, money, all are equally important, one cannot say one is more important than the other. Furthermore, money is a difficult problem for most people because nowadays money is not easy to earn, while ideas and plans we only need to spend a little time to implement. I still find the money factor really important and a problem for many investors today. We can learn knowledge anywhere and it is not difficult to find it, but capital to invest is a more complicated issue.
It only gets more complicated if you don't have a highly, well-compensated job. But if you work in a big company and owns a high position, saving for capital is quite easy. However, for some low paying jobs, saving a capital creates a big pressure on their part.

But let's just say that you have the money, ideas and good plans on your investment, then the rate of success is high. But if one lacks, that will be a great challenge for those who run the investment as seeing it sucessful is kinda hard.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Math and Gambling on: December 06, 2023, 01:16:56 PM
It's not all the time that math can do wonders in gambling, but I must admit that if you have good skills in math, the rate of winning is high. Although gambling is mostly all about luck, but having a good analysis in math also adds to your luck which if combined together, you will gain positive outcome from gambling.

However, I don't encourage everyone that if you are good in math, do maximal gambling. That is very wrong. Still, gamble on the amount you are comfortable of losing as gambling never guarantees the bettors to win consistently.
174  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are bitcoin investors violators? on: December 05, 2023, 09:44:24 PM
Bitcoin is still very illegal in many countries and to many governments, but in many of these countries, what is surprising is that you will still find investors in bitcoins who are going against the government and secretly buying and investing in bitcoins. An example of some of these people are members in this forum, so I am want to ask a personal question, do you think of yourself as a bad citizen for disobeying the government? Do you agree that you are a violator for breaking the law? Now see things from a religious side as well, by disobeying the government and investing in bitcoins, are you committing the sin of direct disobedience?
You can actually invest or trade secretly, as there's no need to tell others or the government that you are currently doing it. That won't make you a bad citizen or a violator on their laws. They will only start seeing you crossing against their laws if you are disclosing that you are actually into bitcoin investing.

I don't believe that each of us is not capable to break the law. The government is sometimes giving us a hard time to live our lives the way we want it to be, and if only bitcoin investing could save that, then I would always want to stay a violator but it remains the fact that I am only the one who knows that I am actually violating the law.
175  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who should own a demo account? on: December 05, 2023, 08:36:31 PM
There is no restriction to who can own a Demo trading account, a new trader or an expert trader. I know many traders may feel like they are now bigger than demo accounts, and only new traders should have demo accounts for demo trades, but I think that to avoid losses still, expert traders should also have demo accounts for trying out new strategies before they try it live. What do you think?

Do you as an experienced trader that has made profit from the market repeatedly, do you still have a demo account for trying out new strategies?
Owning a demo account is not limited to anyone. It can be both used and benefited by a newbie or even a pro trader, it depends on their individual"s choice. But mostly, it's the newbies that are owning demo accounts as they are still learning the process of trading, and they have to test their strategies first before they will jump into live trading.

While it can be an advantage for newbies, however it can also be useful for professional traders. Trading using demo account will try to assess your strategies and skills before conquering the real live trading, but it does not guarantee that you'll be free from losses no matter how hard you try with demo account first.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Include Or Always Include Gambling In Your New Year's Resolution on: December 04, 2023, 09:58:41 PM
Gambling is just my past time and so I never really see it as a serious matter. So I don't see any reason to include it in my new year's resolutions. And I just love my experience with gambling this year, so hopefully the following year will still be good to me. And I don't have much regrets with my gambling losses, as I have predicted it already before I started to risk some amount in gambling.


New year is now fast approaching. And if ever I have to make some new year's resolutions, most likely it would be to change some of my negative attitudes towards other people. And I know I have to work on it throughout the year.
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 04, 2023, 08:56:13 PM
Definitely not. You can make gambling as a side hustle that creates additional income for you but it will never be a main source of income that can provide you consistent and sustainable profits. Although some have been making massive profits from gambling, but for sure they have lose a lot first and the moment they win, they are just gaining back their money that they have lost in gambling. But mostly people lose more than win more.

However, there are also big time gamblers that have found profession in gambling, but it does not mean that they only rely on gambling alone to feed theirselves or their family. Most probably, they also have other growing businesses or they have other side hustles that generate income for them.
178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Bitcoin investment is the key to success" on: December 01, 2023, 07:53:21 PM
Long term hodling with bitcoin always gives the most satisfying results with bitcoin, and you could have gained more if you have done that. But we all know that you also have done good with your small profits, and that is something valuable you have right now. So I don't think regretting should be what you feel, but being grateful indeed.

Now, if you think you miss bigger profits due to early selling, don't worry because there's always another opportunity to invest. Just stay patient and calm. You need to have that so you can be successful with long term hodling. For now, increase your source of profits so you can achieve your desired capital for investment, maybe not now but it will happen soon.
179  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should trading be for the rich? on: December 01, 2023, 03:17:14 PM
If trading is for the rich, then did you mean investing as well? If that's the case, then I should have pity those poor individuals who are capable to trade but don't have sufficient funds to finance trading. But thankfully, that is not the case. Trading is obviously both for rich and poor, but the more that you have gained adequate knowledge and honed skills and strategies for trading, the higher the advantage you will be successful in trading. Although being financially stable is also crucial because you have the chances to keep on trading despite of the losses, but I believe good trading performance always makes an edge in trading.

But one thing is certain, even if you're rich and financially stable, as long as you suffer from consistent losses in trading without chances to gain decent profits, then think a lot of times, probably trading is not meant for you.
180  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Precautions For Safety This Yelutide Season on: December 01, 2023, 02:02:32 PM
With this high festive season, different form of scams are also prevalent. Always practice caution is the key. Do not entertain random strangers that you meet online or even offline. If you are offered with too good to be true projects or investments, obviously those are scams so always think a thousand times before you bite their offers. If you really want a secured and highly profitable and guaranteed investment, then trust only bitcoin. Bitcoin might be quite expensive than altcoins, but with long term hodling, you will reap totally life changing profits.

This is the season of spending, so to avoid regretting after, know your limits before you try to spend. Christmas cash gifts and bonuses are highly expected, so use it wisely through bitcoin investment or any other proven profitable investments, and not just use for merry making and partying.
