1521  Economy / Speculation / Re: A big buying opportunity might be on the horizon on: December 22, 2023, 08:22:56 AM
Without a doubt, the possible SEC ruling on the ETF has a big effect on the market. Denial could cause a downturn, but isnt that just a normal market correction? Remember that smart buyers often see corrections as chances to make money. They're not just dangers; they're also places where you could grow.

Bitcoinis famous for being tough. It wont be the first time the SEC says "no." It has come back before and often reached new heights. If this happens, it could be the same as the last one. Its not just how the market reacts; its also about Bitcoin's value and how trust in its promise is growing.

This is what I think: Dont let short-term disruptions upset us. Lets instead think about what Bitcoin can do in the long run. This isnt just a digital money; its a movement. A dip? Thats just a chance to put more money into this cutting-edge technology. When it comes to crypto, things that go down often come back stronger!
1522  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Argentina has officially approved the agreement to legalize the use of Bitcoin on: December 22, 2023, 07:54:49 AM
Argentina's Bitcoin legalization fundamentally changes global finance. First, it recognises the growing role of digital currencies in the economy. Argentina's banking system now uses Bitcoin, adjusting to a digital future. Fintech development may increase as worldwide crypto investors and innovators flock to its economy.

Second, evaluate financial market effects. Argentina's inclusion of Bitcoin might lead to novel financial products like Bitcoin ETFs, which offer investors regulated crypto exposure. The stability of traditional finance and the energy of the crypto market could shift the game.

Argentina's choice may encourage other nations, causing a global wave. This dramatic move towards widespread cryptocurrency acceptance signals a shift in how nations see and use digital assets. Bitcoin is merely one part of a global financial revolution. History is being made.
1523  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When do you think Bitcoin ETF will be approved? on: December 22, 2023, 07:27:48 AM
Its accurate date confirmation about  Bitcoin ETF will be approve? is rumor right I think become good news and bitcoin have good start in new year with ETF approving will make bitcoin raise to higher price. But I don't really expected with bitcoin ETF approval because this rumor have been in long time but until right now not have good progress. Personally many people and bitcoin holder more expected with the progress of bitcoin ETF will approve or not in short time.

If this news right and bitcoin get ETF approval just waiting moment for bitcoin raising to higher price, wish with close end this year have good news bitcoin ETF approval and expected with bitcoin will be more promising price for bitcoin holder.
Bitcoin ETF thing is way down the line and nothing is happening right now. If you really want the perfect details on it, Blackrock applied, a few things were found missing, they were sent back, so right now Blackrock is handling paperwork to fill the parts that SEC thought were missing. There isn't even a reapplying yet, so they are still working on it, considering these paperworks take months, we can say that the next reapply would be either spring or early summer at the very earliest, and the response should end of next year instead. So, it is not going to be all that easy and we are not going to hear about it anytime soon.

Plus, we do not really need ETF to make anything work, we do not need to really end up making anything crazy, we just need to let the crypto world handle it. I get that we all want that to happen, but we have seen this situation to be fine without ETF and it still got up, that should be something that would be profitable for us in the end anyway.
Indeed, the Bitcoin ETF drama with Blackrock is lengthy and costly. Dont we see a balance between innovation and regulation? The SEC's alertness isnt shocking; they protect investors in a fast-changing market. Dont lose sight of the overall picture. Bitcoin's journey has never depended on ETF approvals. Its resilience and expansion surprised predictions, right?

Maybe we should focus on the broader consequences of this development. Bitcoin ETF approval might change institutional acceptance, opening avenues for mainstream investors. Bitcoin thrives without it. It proves its value and the crypto ecosystem's strength. We shape the digital asset story as active players.

Remember that regulatory impediments are temporary, but Bitcoin's disruptive potential is permanent. With or without an ETF, we're revolutionizing finance. This complicated trip is ours to conquer.

Gambling, while tempting, can be dangerous, as your experience shows. Contrast gambling with investment. As seen by your elder brother's financial crisis, gambling is risky and unexpected. Though volatile, Bitcoin investing offers more control and educated decision-making. Knowledge of risk is crucial.

Imagine his investment in Bitcoin or another currency. Research and strategy could have changed the outcome. His tale emphasizes financial literacy and responsible decision-making. We should consider risks and rewards and balance gambling, as this story warns.
1525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: December 21, 2023, 04:34:53 PM
Everybody has a story to tell when it comes to gambling because it has had a way to affect or increase our financial status in one way or the other.Every beginner who wants to begin their gambling journey must know some good things and some bad things about gambling,in that way,they won't suffer loss the way most People suffered,that is why it is always good to follow topics that is related to gambling to know when to gamble and when not to.

A beginner should always know that gambling is risky,and when putting your money into it,you must be able to make up your mind that the money might return or might not return,there is no guarantee of a steady income, because the game is all about you losing or gaining.
However, they should not improve their financial status through gambling because it risks losing money in gambling. They should not think about making money from gambling, especially if they already know more people who have lost their money than they have made money. And if they are still beginners at gambling, they should always be careful about guarding their money so they are not tempted to use a lot of money to gamble. It has happened a lot where many people end up using more money to gamble even though initially they knew that gambling was dangerous and could cost a lot of money.

Every beginner must know how much money needs to be allocated for gambling so that they do not gamble excessively. Many people don't pay attention to these things, which seem trivial, even though allocating a certain amount of money for gambling is very important to limit our gambling activities. We cannot expect to win every time we gamble because getting a win from gambling is difficult.
Gambling's risky, especially for chance newbies. Recognizing that gaming does not enhance finances is essential. Instead, itS a high-risk bet. Dont we know the house always wins? Thus, strong boundaries are essential.

Think about responsible gambling. This pastime receives a modest amount of our discretionary income. This goes beyond financial restraint to self-preservation. Gambling is enjoyment with a cost, not a wealth-building plan.

Therefore, we must teach newcomers about gambling. It is a risky hobby, not a path to financial success. Understanding and following these boundaries protects our wallets and health.
1526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: December 21, 2023, 03:52:33 PM
By doing various kinds of activities, people will not feel lonely, especially if they can do activities that connect with others. This will help them communicate with other people so that something will be created from this activity or there will even be cooperation between them. This will allow people who feel lonely never to feel lonely again because they have other activities.
The point is to never be alone and feel lonely, look for friends and do activities to have fun, there are many games out there that can be played as well as other hobbies that can be played not only in gambling, don't always think that gambling is a very fun game, there are many in this world fun games that can be played besides gambling, for example playing football or other sports activities with friends or family.

As long as it is done consistently there will be no desire to gamble because if you are alone and feel lonely there will definitely be something you want to do in gambling, for example trying to use a new strategy or something else, it's best to forget about that and do other activities to enjoy life more because gambling is not the end goal. from eliminating feelings of loneliness.

Yep, I agree, don't ever think that gambling is the only thing that is fun, there are many other more fun things that don't have negative impacts like gambling. Also of course there are still friends to chat with or do other things that are more fun, although gambling has fun but the negative side dominates. It is not recommended that gambling is the best escape either, because it has dangerous impacts and also the losses that can occur, therefore it is better to do other things than gambling.

Those who gamble because they are bored with nothing to do can become addicted simply because of unreasonable reasons, they can do many other things besides gambling. because if they gamble even for the reason of trial and error, it does not rule out the possibility that they will become addicted to gambling.
Indeed, gambling alternatives are essential for mental and financial health. Gambling's hidden harms might start a cycle. Empathy is needed to address this problem, as boredom or thrill-seeking can lead to this. Unfortunately, the financial consequences can wipe out savings and cause debt. Advocating for personal improvement and community involvement is healthier and more rewarding. These activities improve life and finances. It's about enjoying long-term interests rather than gambling.

Gambling addiction psychology is crucial. Its generally a sign of worse problems. Supporting and encouraging healthier options can help. A supportive workplace that prioritizes long-term satisfaction and financial health over momentary thrills is key.
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 21, 2023, 03:08:31 PM
they lose their minds and believe in the small probability of winning because their logic believes in a big win awaiting them.
In fact, it all starts with a person's greed and high curiosity so that sometimes people often forget themselves when gambling, usually hoping for a small opportunity to get a big win that they don't necessarily get but they believe that they will get it so that the small win that they should It could be a win and also a profit, on the contrary, it is lost again in order to get a big win but you don't get anything.

The point is that those who play do not limit themselves because they do not control it properly will definitely become addicted in the end because they will gamble following their greedy behavior which will never end so that what they are chasing continues to haunt them even though in the end they never get anything except bankrupt.
The cycle of little wins leads to the pursuit of bigger wins. Money and self-control are often lost in this endeavor. This process repeats: the excitement of prospective gain is eclipsed by the sobering reality of likely loss.

Must gambling be considered in a broader context? Some enjoy it responsibly as entertainment. Self-regulation and odds knowledge are crucial. Gambling becomes troublesome when it becomes an addiction. Awareness and help for gambling addicts are crucial.

Gambling isnt the problem, but the relationship. Responsible gambling involves setting and following limits. Balance: enjoying the thrill while knowing the risks. We should promote healthy gambling by educating and helping people.
1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 21, 2023, 02:46:51 PM
Barcelona are in a bad run of form.I saw them struggle to beat Almeria, who are at the bottom of the league and are certain to be relegated.I didn't expect them to struggle so much even though it was at home.I think Barcelona gave their opponent too many chances.I think it's a bad result for them that the match ended 3-2 despite playing 65% of the ball and having 30 shots at home.Of course it's important that they got 3 points, but I don't think it makes sense to have such a difficult win against an opponent who has not won yet and has 5 points after 17 games.
Sincerely, Im concerned about Barcelona's performance right now. Red flags are raised by their performance against Almeria, a squad that has had a difficult season. Despite having a ton of shots and controlling possession, their close home victory is alarming. It appears that they are overly focused on attacking, which is weakening their defense. To strike a balance between attack and defense, Xavi truly has to reconsider his approach. The good news is they have an opportunity to refine their gameplay as they have upcoming easier fixtures. With UCL matches coming up, they really need to use these games to work out their problems and gain confidence.

Quote from: 3meek
I wonder if Brighton will be able to beat Crystal Palace away today... Brighton have lost their last two away games, but it was Arsenal and Chelsea... And Crystal Palace have lost their last four home games... I think that one of them will end their losing streak today... Grin

Crystal palace will not joke with this match, because they are about to enter relegation stage which they will do everything possible to use home strategies to stop Brighton not to defeat them in their home so that crystal palace manager will have hope that his players will do more in their next match. Sometimes, you cannot predict Brighton because the match you think they will not win , it will be the match they will surprise people to achieve victory at the end which we have experienced it from some matches that made them to be in the current position. This match will end up 2-1 for the favour of crystal palace, this is my prediction and it will definitely come to pass.

Bookmakers favour Brighton, but still the odds for their win are very big - 2,3... I don't know if Crystal Palace can win, Brighton are playing well now and if they win they will be close to Newcastle... Crystal Palace have no danger of getting into the relegation zone yet... But they need to pick up points too... I think it could be a draw...
I think this Brighton vs. Crystal Palace game is tied. Is Palace able to draw with Manchester City? That is very significant. It demonstrates that they have some grit, which can greatly enhance morale. Even though their offensive has been a little sloppy lately, Brighton is still a formidable opponent. It appears as though the advantages and disadvantages of both sides balance each other out.

My instinct? This is going to be a closer game than you think. Brighton may be the clear favorites, but Crystal Palace has demonstrated its ability to pull off upsets. Though Im not placing a wager, my little preference is for Palace. They possess an underdog mentality, which might occasionally be exactly what tips the odds in your favor.

It looks like today is a valuable moment for Damac because he will play against the team Laurentiu Reghecampf, namely Alta'ee, currently Alta'ee is ranked 13th and Alta'ee has just been defeated by Al-Okhdood with a score of 1-0, of course this will gives Damac confidence and of course if Damac manages to beat Al-ta'ee of course Damac will move up the rankings and shift the position of Ittihad who were last season's champions so I think Damac will definitely fight. as hard as he can and I think Damac has great potential to win. but personally, in the next match I am willing to bet that Al-ta'ee will win because I saw the good performance of the Al-ta'ee players and I am sure Laurentiu Reghecampf coach will Made a good strategy. against Al-hilal Al-raed and al-fateh I see Al-ta'ee's performance is very good so based on that I am willing to bet on Al-ta'ee winning. and I predict Al-ta'ee's victory is 2-1. I would like to know your predictions for this match. Yes, it seems that if Al-ta'ee wins it will definitely become popular news and Damac will definitely admit that Al-ta'ee's strength is very good. However, Damac will definitely not be afraid to face Al-Ta'ee because Damac drew against Al-Hilal several months ago, of course this will make Damac's self-confidence even higher.
I prefer Damac in this matchup. Their 3-1 win over Al-Ittihad was stunning. That game showed Damac's potential to rise in the rankings. They're playing with a ferocity that few teams have. Im betting on Damac despite Al-Ta'ee's recent solid play under Laurentiu Reghecampf. They can beat strong teams, and their draw against Al-Hilal a few months ago shows their developing confidence and competence. What I predict? Strong 2-0 win for Damac.
1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 21, 2023, 01:56:25 PM
It doesn't make sense for Napoli to deliberately lose a competition they still might win, to me it's just an absurd assumption. Napoli have experienced a very significant drop in form this season after winning the Scudetto last season, so they need to take advantage of every competition to win it instead of letting other teams beat them easily.
Yes, this is a realistic thing. It will be very difficult for Napoli to reach the top of Serie A this season and defend the title they won last season. Not only is their condition quite poor, but the distance between points is far away and the strength of the opposing team is actually getting better this season. The competition is very tough this season. And what's more, at the moment, I'm sure Mazzarri's focus is on improving the performance of his squad and trying not to fall into an even worse position. Because after all, Mazzarri also has quite a tough challenge here. At least if Napoli can still enter the UCL again next season, this will be enough for now.
With the current situation, it is very difficult for Napoli to maintain their situation as the current defending champions.
Napoli is currently still very difficult to maintain its current consistency and performance even though there have been several improvements including the change of coach that has occurred but indeed this is still a fairness when talking about the Scudetto in Serie A.
Until now since the last few seasons the club that won Serie A has never been able to go back to back to get the Scudetto after prime Juventus until the 2020 season until now no one has been able to last for several seasons for the Scudetto including Inter, Milan and Napoli who took turns every season in the last 3 seasons.

Napoli chances are now only possible to be in the top 4 and must try to appear there because it would be very bad if they failed to qualify for the Champions League next season after previously winning very convincingly. 
Im not surprised by Napoli's season-long troubles. Football follows this tendency, not just in Serie A but elsewhere. Even Manchester City and Bayern Munich have off days. Napoli lost their team spirit and flare from last season. They seem to be lacking a key piece. Without it, they should aim for the top 4.

The Champions League qualification is another consideration. If they miss out, its not just this season. Losing important players may be worse. Osimhen may be interested in moving to England, and if Napoli doesnt qualify for the Champions League, he and others may leave. Definitely a tough position for them.
1532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 21, 2023, 01:39:51 PM
As reported months ago, Toney’s preference has always been the Arsenal move. Arsenal are interested, but only if the right deal can be struck. Club still 100% want Osimhen in the summer as a priority, they won’t sacrifice that move and overpay for Toney.

I think this would be a good signing for Arsenal by january. This way Mikel Arteta can play him directly as a goal poacher or sometimes pair him Gabreil Jesus to force the attack. This is what Arsenal needs right now soneone who  once he sees the goal post all he thinks is shoot. Someone like Osimehn is prrfect also. Arsenal has their eye on the young talent but Napoli is not ready to give him away yet.
To be honest, I dont think Arsenal should make a major move for Toney. Although he is talented, I dont think he is a significant improvement over Gabriel Jesus. Undoubtedly, he possesses strength and a noteworthy physical presence, but will that suffice for Arsenal? They ought to set their sights higher, like a world-class striker, in my opinion. Arsenal needs more than just Toney's potential offensive punch. Not simply a physical presence, but someone who can completely change the course of the game is needed. Furthermore, Arsenal should exercise caution when spending a lot of money on players who dont represent a big improvement over their current roster, given the amount of money that is being spent on football these days.

I think there's no need to discuss about Barcelona vs Napoli and Arsenal vs FC Porto, it's a sure win for both Barcelona and Arsenal, Napoli and FC Porto aren't that good compared to last season.
Barcelona have also been inconsistent this season, especially in the LaLiga, but mind you that every match in the CL RO16 is going to be tough, i understand that some teams are underdogs when you compare them to their oppositions, but in the two games you highlighted above, neither of those teans are underdogs, it is going to be a 50-50 game that anybody can win. Barcelona and Arsenal are very much beatable, and it would be a mistake to write off Napoli and Porto.
I concur with your appraisal of the CL RO16 matches between Barcelona and Arsenal. Barcelona's poor LaLiga season may affect their Champions League performance. Barcelona's LaLiga struggles may affect their match against Napoli. After difficult seasons, Barcelona just returned to the last 16. Barcelona is a changing team striving to find its identity, making them susceptible.

However, Arsenal's scenario is intriguing. Their return may provide complications after a long absence. It will be difficult to beat Champions League-winning Porto. Arsenal has never won this title, and Porto's expertise in high-stakes contests may prove crucial. I agree - both matches are open-ended, and underestimating Napoli and Porto may be disastrous.
1534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Michael Jordan a gambling addict ? on: December 21, 2023, 12:36:50 PM
Addiction is defined by its impact on a person's life, not its frequency. Is MJ's gambling harmful? Most important question. He has a successful career and family, suggesting his gambling hasnt hampered them. Addiction typically shows up subtly. Do gambling pleasures surpass other areas of his life? Does it dominate his thoughts?

Addiction is biological and behavioral. Remember that even mild habits can escalate. Understanding moderation and control is crucial. Does MJ govern his gambling or vice versa? This distinction is vital for distinguishing a hobby from an addiction.

MJ's gambling may not be a major issue, but it could get worse. Moderation and self-awareness are crucial. A harmless interest and a harmful addiction might be muddled.
1535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Local Base Or International Based Online Casino on: December 21, 2023, 12:15:07 PM
-snip-
Do you have similar games in your country and if there are popular local online games what will you prefer local or international-based
This is just like any popular game, once it is possibly played in one's country, of course, the locals will patronise it for easier access and support. But no matter how many people go local, many still enjoy the international experience. Just like me, I do both because I earn USD and have much presence online, so I deposit easily and play my thing. The same goes for the local, I can easily play locally since the transfer is also seamless. This is why I voted for both. However, one particular determinant of where I bet at times is the odd given to me by the house. If the locals offer me more profit potential, then I go for it, and the same goes for international as well.

Above all, it is all about betting, nothing so distinct among the two and when I have my money in either of them, I get to make my bettings at any point in time. Also, the other consideration is that when I want to play, at times, I play casinos in one, and I prefer international most time for this. While I play sports betting in the other, and by this, I would have separated the attention from the two.
Your betting strategy of blending local and foreign platforms is sensible. However, larger chances can be appealing but perilous. Remember: the home always has an edge, local or worldwide. We should balance potential profits against hazards using our financial acumen.

I also like how you separate casino games from sports betting. It shows discipline, something many may learn from. We must be careful because betting is volatile even with a scientific technique. Where, how much, and how often we wager matter. The key is responsible gambling. Set and follow limitations to keep betting a hobby, not a financial burden. Be careful not to let amusement overpower our finances.
1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: December 21, 2023, 11:53:31 AM
In my opinion almost all steps that states take to "protect" gamblers have no real benefit. If they wanted to really help people with gambling addiction, they could open more free rehabilitation centers, advertise them on central television, launch information campaigns that would explain the negative consequences of mindless gambling. All this costs money, which will have to be allocated from the budget, so they simply do not make real steps, but only create the appearance of hard work.

It doesn't look good if they will open a rehabilitation centers of addicted gamblers as it will only imply that addiction has already become rampant.

Gambling is controllable by the government, since they regulated it, they have the right to ban it, or consider it as illegal. However, seeing the money that flows to the funding of the government, they can't make that kind of decision to stop, so it's really unto us now, either we become responsible, or be on the other side and experience the effect of addiction, after all the government doesn't care about us since gambling is not a necessity.

There's no benefit to the government by actually stopping gambling. In fact, they make lots of money by taxing gambling income.
They not only tax citizens for gambling income but also tax gambling operators for running casinos.
So its only in the hands of the individual if he wants to quit his gambling addiction.

Since the government doesn't have equipment that can detect or find addicted gamblers around society, they may not be able to reduce or restrict addicted players from gambling. The ball is in the court of the gambler, as he wasn't moved by the government to join gambling. However, it's more of a thing of the society or the environment of the person. Where we grew up has its government and they may have been common with gambling. Hence growing up the person wouldn't have any difficulty choosing gambling as a hobby or money-making scheme. If the government warns against gambling addiction with banners and sets up campaigns around the streets, it may only raise awareness among citizens, and whatever promo is done by the government gets people talking and younger people can then begin to hear about gambling even toddlers.

I think the right option is for the government to align with parents to help them notify the nearest health care center or rehabilitation centers once their ward begins to have abstract behavior, caused by anything; gambling or not. Youths are suffering from different mental sicknesses fueled by unemployment, heartbreaks, loss of a loved one, etc. These things contribute to mental disorders or even Bipolar and if the person involves himself in games like gambling he'd easily get addicted. If parents pay close attention to their wards or children they'll be able to detect a behavior change, maybe the child is beginning to ask for money all the time. Engaging him in a technical parent-child conversation can be a good tool in determining the problem of the child, and then they can work on treatment. Citizens are also a part of the government, without the people, there would be no government. So, we must learn to work alongside the government in stopping gambling addiction and all forms of addiction in society.
The government's role in gambling addiction is complicated. Our legislators must defend public health, but their reach is limited. Your thesis about society influencing gambling is correct. Certain actions were accepted in our upbringing, affecting our views and choices. Not merely warning about dangers, but identifying the core reasons.

As you say, parent collaboration may be crucial. Many parents notice changes in their children's conduct first. They can prevent addiction first. Effective communication and awareness are key to this technique. Parents must know how to spot gambling addiction and get help.

Gambling addiction demands complex treatment. The community, not just the government or parents, is involved. Educational, supportive, and accessible mental health treatments are needed to address this issue. Never underestimate the power of collective action to improve society.
1537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 21, 2023, 11:27:53 AM
in short, you are here because of your own volition. and when it is time for you to quit, it is also on you.
so don't blame anyone else if you are in this habit, because it is your own choice. now, to what extent you want to go in in this habit, is still your option. as you are responsible for yourself, make sure you won't regret your life's choices.
husband and wife, they both need to sit down and contemplate on their situation. because after all, it is their family who will suffer from their actions.
they need to consider of the following aspects of their lives -
 > financial situation
 > source of income/jobs
 > assets
 > kids (education)
 > savings/emergency funds
 > career
In gambling, perhaps regret and disappointment will always be there, but if all of this makes the gambler blame other people, it is also not good attitude because all gambling activities are his own decisions.
Every gambler must be responsible and able to accept all the impacts of gambling without blaming other people, there is no point in blaming other people for the impacts of gambling that we feel.

Agree that they both have to be able to find solution and fix everything because what they do will also have an impact or influence on their own family.
There must be better solution with calm thinking, slowly they have to think about the long term of the activities they have carried out if they continue to happen.
And of course all aspects must be considered carefully and management and boundaries must be able to be set.
I know that for someone who likes to gamble, it will definitely be very difficult to stop, but at least they must be able to control it, manage it and also limit the intensity of the gambling they do.
Building family has been their goal together from the start so don't let gambling cause everything they have built in the family to experience problems or even be destroyed.

Gamblers who take responsibility for their action wouldn't have trouble or blame others if they failed. Taking responsibility helps the brain to rethink and do the right thing, for a losing gambler, he would figure out a means of restructuring his gambling schedule and change a few bad habits like wagering all their money in a single game. For the spouses, I think they wouldn't have to regret anything about gambling because they can complain to one another if a new unwanted gambling habit erupts in their lives. Management is important, and the woman should control the finances while the man can keep up with techniques and management strategies. The list provided by AmoreJaz is very important and it's what is at stake for any family both gambling or non gambling homes. As I said in my previous response, some families where both spouses don't gamble still face difficulties with meeting those requirements.

It's not just about being a gambler or not. Although one may think that a gambler has a higher chance of failing in building his home, that could be wrong for responsible gamblers. If they spend 1% of their monthly income on gambling, they are still on the right track and the family won't suffer any loss in home-keeping. Both spouses can further ahead to becoming professional gamblers, if any of them wins a jackpot someday wouldn't the family celebrate the enhancement of their monthly income? The disadvantages of gambling have made us not see the advantages of gambling in our everyday lives. Advising them to stop wouldn't be helpful by any means and they can have a tough time agreeing to that term. Adults have to remain responsible for any decision they wish to follow and these two are grown-ups and can differentiate between what's good or bad in gambling. But, if they can't keep up with responsible gambling, I think they'll need help.
Recognizing the complex relationship between gambling and family is necessary. Responsible gambling is a good cause, however it depends on 'if' you can play properly. This 'if' is dangerous. This sounds reasonable: gamblers should spend 1% of their income on gambling. Does this one-size-fits-all strategy meet variations in family finances? Not necessarily. Even minor gambling can be dangerous. The key is the proportion and the discipline and self-control required.

Your idea that women handle finances and men focus on skills sounds oversimplified and stereotyped. Each family's dynamics are different, therefore an egalitarian approach may promote mutual respect and understanding.

Your outlook on gambling's perks, like winning a jackpot, is hopeful. Gambling should never be considered a stable revenue source. The odds are often against the player. Making professional gambling a family aim may not be wise. Making educated gambling decisions requires a balanced understanding of the risks and rewards.

It is not that Bitcoin will free people from poverty. Legalizing Bitcoin in poor countries is guaranteed to make poor countries poorer. Like if I am speaking from my position in Bangladesh, if Bitcoin is legalized in Bangladesh then most of the people in this country will suffer by investing in Bitcoin. Because almost people are poor in our country. People in poor countries will invest in Bitcoin and sell at a loss due to scarcity. Bitcoin is only suitable for those who can hold it for the long term.

However by working on bitcoin forum people can make money from here and remove the poverty of his country and his family. I used to live a very bad life. I came across this bitcoin forum through a friend of mine and started earning from here by building a good position. Currently I am able to manage my family and grow investments with the weekly income I earn from here. Now I am earning money by working outside site permanently besides Bitcoin. From here I can say that Bitcoin forum can free the poor if they can earn from it.
Bitcoin's poverty-reduction potential is complicated. Bitcoin may not solve poverty, especially in Bangladesh. Uninformed or unprepared bitcoin users may suffer financial hardship due to its volatility and complexity. They may invest without knowing the risks and lose. Financial literacy is essential in this environment. Public education about Bitcoin is crucial. Only well-informed choices yield success.

Your Bitcoin forum experience shows another perspective: information and community empower. It shows that with instruction and strategy, Bitcoin may improve economic situations. It shows Bitcoin's potential for financial inclusion and empowerment beyond investment.

I recommend promoting Bitcoin through knowledge and judicious investing. This manner, we may use it to help the poor without risking them. Empowering individuals with knowledge and opportunities goes beyond Bitcoin.

Indeed, volatility can be a great way to make money for people who understand how markets work and are willing to take on risk. You're right; acceptance is growing, and online transfers can be used in places where offline acceptance is still low.

When it comes to safety, your focus on being alert is very important. Yes, hacks are a problem, but as you said, they can be lessened by being careful and using strong security measures. Also, your measured view on how decentralized Bitcoin is is right on the mark. Even though not all sites that work with Bitcoin are decentralized, that doesnt change the good things that Bitcoin can do. You said it right—knowing and understanding the world of cryptocurrencies is key.

Buy a little bit of bitcoin every week don't care if it's a $1, $5, $10, $100, figure out what you can afford every week and buy it, get rid of unnecessary expenses or whatever you can think of getting rid of and spend it on bitcoin
5 to 10 years if you buy some every week you will be a multi millionaire
Believe it or not this is exactly what I did after I started investing in bitcoin. Well I'm not a rich person who can buy large quantities at once. So I can only accumulate using the DCA method, which I actually only found out about recently. Because previously I accumulated randomly and without good planning. Which makes me easily panic and stuff. But after I tried not to be greedy and only made small investments regularly, mentally I started to feel the benefits for myself. In the past, I easily panicked because maybe I put too much money into bitcoin investments. So sometimes I don't have enough money to meet my daily needs. And then I realized that was the wrong move. And I read and accept suggestions in this forum and then try to understand them and implement them.  Although it may take more time to get to the large accumulation I expected. But investing little by little is not bad either. Now I feel like I'm ready to hold on stronger in the long term.
The strategy is smart, especially for people who dont have a lot of money. Why? The lower the risk, the better the match between business and financial ability. Your experience strongly emphasizes a very important lesson: investing shouldnt put daily needs at risk. Finding this balance is very important. Although DCA works, its only one part of a bigger financial plan. What else is needed? a steadied work. As a security blanket and a way to spend consistently without stress, regular income is the backbone of any investment plan. If you combine DCA with a steady source of income, you have a long-term investment that will last. So, you're not only investing in Bitcoin, but also in your peace of mind and general financial health.
