As elucidated in detail on the image the story of a gambler in my country who won a whopping amount of N15.6M  that's about $16,000 and out of his generosity gifted one of the punters a sum of N100k an act which IMO could be referred to as an appreciation for doing nothing.
Getting to X  (twitter) some people started dragging and criticizing the gambler and calling him names, that the N100k he gave to the punters out of N15.5M he had won was too small and that he could have done better. Below in the image  is one of many tweets from the critics.

On the contrary against the critiques some persons where on the side of the gambler saying he the gambler was too magnanimous to have released a N100k as appreciation for someone who did nothing for him or added nothing to his winning bet

It's kind of becoming a norm in the gambling house for people to act with some sort of self-entitement to other gamblers money just because it was money won through gambling. Some even go further to argue that using so little amount to winning so much amount of money you ought to share it with others in a ratio of 60:40. What a nonsense!

IMO, there's no law in gambling mandating that a gambler must share part of his winning with eith friends or fellow gamblers in the gambling house, for that, you owe no one an apology either or not you chose to give a penny whatsoever. Let stop the self entitlement claims towards fellows gamblers that won big amount of money. The attitude is disturbing.

When this posts was posted it's over three months now and bitcoin price is accelerating, before now the price of bitcoin was approaching to twenty eight thousand before it collapse and fall to twenty seven thousand to twenty six thousand in which I believe that the price of bitcoin is increasing to extent of reaching twenty seven thousand today, so as of October 2023 may people who was predicting that price of bitcoin is increasing above expectations,  it basically base on the demands.

The impact of compulsive gambling has gone too far because he has sold everything to indulge his gambling addiction. He is lucky to have a family who really cares about his current condition, so the family has come to provide assistance and help heal psychologically. It seems that he really needs therapy to recover from gambling addiction and his family's concern will be very helpful to speed up healing from the effects of gambling addiction.

Agreed, they don't support us in gambling but that's no reason to ignore them if we win millions of dollars from jackpot winnings, they deserve to receive some of those winnings because they really care about us and they only want the best for our future. I would give them 30% and they would be happy to get that kind of money.

#HODLing is not a smooth journey, do you agree?
Totally agree, it is mostly easier said than done for most investors. I personally can recall the different juicy opportunities I have missed to really make it big in this space as a result of a lack of patience to HODL. Especially those early days in crypto when you barely understand the market and easily get freaked out with every FUD and market dip.
Experience is the best teacher they say and I believe the majority of us are more experienced and mature over the years of being in crypto.

What is your view on #Hodling Guys?

One of my hobbies is psychology, and after I became part of the DuelBits signature campaign, I happily began to study the phenomenon of addiction to bets and casinos. The Internet is full of videos with stories of gamblers and psychologists, based on them I realized that the number one rule for healing a person from addiction is that he himself must want to get rid of addiction. At the same time, do it sincerely, and not at all “put on a temporary” mask who wants to quit gambling. Only truth and repentance.

Crypto is a volatile market that will provide many advantages as well as many losses.
By applying long-term investing, it may be the best option for those who don't want to think too deeply about how to make quick trades.
Holding back does not require emotions and only needs to be patient.

By holding Bitcoin, will indeed be better and only need to wait for Bitcoin to reach its highest price.
Investment decisions are based on knowledge as well as how confident Bitcoin investment is.

Some people who were too skeptical of Bitcoin instead abandoned Bitcoin when the market suddenly crashed.
Whereas when the market crash is the best opportunity to start buying and holding, and See how we will go to Halving and will reach a new ATH, this will be a 4-year cycle that will make new history on Bitcoin.

It seems that it has become a natural thing that is common, especially for gamblers who are newly involved in gambling, of course it is beyond our control or other people because in the early stages they are still very excited in carrying that wrong mindset, so it is very difficult to be able to give better advice to them if they are in a state of enthusiasm in their gambling involvement. Chasing losses to break even is the initial cycle experienced by newly involved gamblers, they do not know that it is the starting point of a more severe destruction that will cause many problems, especially in their finances.

That's quite a serious problem but on the other hand as I said above it's quite difficult to control them with some advice, they have their own mindset that is always strong even though it's basically very wrong. So maybe what will be able to change them for the better is just time, they will be able to know that they should not overdo it when they have experienced some serious impacts which will indirectly give them valuable experience not to make the same mistake again. So I think there will be a certain point where they will be able to gain some awareness.

It's more true than people believe. You know when you should buy and believe? When everyone has a bad prediction.

When should you sell? When the ads come back and Bitboy is promoting the next big thing.

Cycles didn't follow in September most likely because everyone was saying it would

How many people have you been able to change after they get addicted to gambling? And what is there level of addiction?

From my own experience, I get to know that those gamblers who are secretly gambling in their rooms and develop the addiction habit have the biggest problem, gambling addiction is like 'wanting more' and never getting enough, you will have all day thinking about gambling, maybe if you do this or you do that, maybe the result will be different.

I was able to talk sense into two different addicted gamblers and they also get help from family members, but the major reason why they too so long in their addiction is because they don't open up to anybody, they kept it all inside of them and it's killing them.

Things get better after they voiced out about their addiction and they are able to get help, any gambling addicts you know of? what method works for you when helping them?

If you are facing gambling addictions and you are keeping it all to yourself, you are worsening your problem, find someone who is close to you and open up to them, letting it all out will bring you some relieve and hopefully you will get better, don't wait till you hit the rock bottom before you say it all out.

Your mixer changes from 0.7 to 4.7%.
If you make a deposit the mixer has to move the coins you sent, they also have to send you the mixed outputs, that's two tx at least, not including at least one just the bare minimum before the final output as they don't want to pay directly from, splitting that in half since they can use multiple outputs,  that and you got at the current fees around 30$ in fees if the user chooses 0.7% and mixes $1000 worth of BTC your mixer loses $24 every mix.

Love how the whole thing has become so elitist right now, the fees are nothing if you move or mix $10k otr $100k worth of BTC, because yeah, that's your average Joe money for the week around here, right?

The question they can answer is whether they will continue to dig a deeper hole to trap themselves or prefer to slowly cover the hole with soil so that if they fall then they will not experience too much pain or will not experience significant injuries to their limbs, doesn't this question make sense? yes please answer, because your answer or choice will be able to determine your next fate. Going back to the original topic, I think taking notes is a good idea to serve as a warning so that we can take precautions, and so that the impact that we will experience later will not be too great. But maybe it will come back to the person, if indeed by seeing the record of the number of defeats that dominate they can reduce their gambling a little that's good, but on the other hand I'm sure that there will also be people who don't care about the record and still behave excessively.

Yes that's better, your advice is good enough to emphasize that person to further strengthen their finances by always making better considerations, one of which is by only putting a small amount of your money to gamble, it doesn't matter because after all this is just an activity for profit, and if you are lucky then you will also win like everyone else.

That's right, I once tried to borrow money from the bank and they advised me to have a business first so that the capital could be easily spent. I'm sure that in all countries, bank rules are the same, the borrower must have a visible physical business, if it's only online then it's doubtful you'll get business loan capital. However, there are also several cases where the borrower gets collateral from someone who has a little capital in the bank. I know this because there is a friend of mine who got capital from the bank with a guarantee from his uncle who has a large deposit in the bank.

Gambling is known to be a game of pure luck but also probability, that's if you are good at math, this is what a fellow employee said to me, he then told me to look Chris Ferguson up, to my surprise this man won millions in gambling using math, I read this man is really good at math,

He created his own gambling strategy for poker completely on math and game theory instead of trying to focus monitoring the players, this man won five world series bracelets 🤦 and over 8 millions dollars in gambling tournaments.

There is also another man called James Simons, who is named the greatest gambler of all, he made more money using math than Chris Ferguson, James net worth is over 20 billions, I was shocked, because I use to think it's impossible to gamble using any skills, this is a skill on a another level, I am mad that I am just knowing this not too long ago.

School is not important as 96% of what you learn won't be used in the real world to make money, but this 4% left is making a lot of people rich, math and gambling seems to go with each other, what do you guys think? Am I wrong or right?

If you walk into a casino with $200 and you start playing with that $200 and you win $200, get the hell out, you simply just doubled your money, take your goddamn leave, what do you think you wanna do? Win a million dollars? You will go home empty handed.

The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.

The only game where you have some power is in Poker, not the online one, this is the best game in casinos, as making profits off of bad players is possible.

As for Other games, You are at the mercy of the house.

No one actually visits the casino to have fun, you gotta trick the mind, I like to think of it has a fun night out and I am going to spend a few hundred dollars and have a good time and if I win it's a bonus, like I've said, you gotta trick the mind.

Always remember this, you are there to win a game where its statistically impossible to win at, it's not impossible to not understand this about gambling, a wise man once said, "if you want to make money with gambling, own a casino".

Are you in one way accepting that we should depending on the prediction of someone will feel has more ability or understanding of the market structure than us?  Literally i wouldn't do that. If am unsure of my predictions I can decide to look into others prediction, which is not a bad thing to do but I won't depend on their prediction. If my mind doesn't accept what they have predicted I will look into more predictions from other person, do more research before I take my conclusions.

Still the ball is still in my court. I can choose to accept the prediction because I have analyzed and see it's not bad and I can still decide to follow my own prediction. Relying on someones prediction may at some point disappoint you. What if the predictor was not active for some period how would you do, will you stop predicting the market and wait for his return? Or you would find another predictor.

Think about it!

I've once saved a brother who lost everything to gambling and he was able to confused me that he is done with gambling because of his regrets, he really regret ever becoming a gambler, as he was just a beginner, he got addicted right after he won twice and he used money he was not supposed to have use, I just end up taking pity on him, so I gave him back some money, almost half of what he lost after he got no one from his family to help him, they all blamed him for making such decisions but they aren't ready to help him.

I sat him down at my place and give him some advice about gambling, and I showed him some screenshots of people that have lost a lot more than he did, I tried to teach about how to be a responsible gambler but he said no that he is done with gambling, I think he got the wrong advice about gambling and him winning twice also made him lose his mind.

I believe that becoming a addict and able to voice out about it is the best thing you can do for yourself,  some people end up in worse situation because they keep it all to themselves and when the battle it all alone and fail to conquer they will lose their mind completely.

Yes that's right, in terms of finance it really depends on a person's personality and character that he has, there are rich people who really value their money by not being too excessive in terms of buying something that is not really important to them, and also there are rich people who really like to squander their money even for something that is not really important, I think it's no harm and really out of the control of others because obviously they have freedom in terms of choosing something they want even though basically it's not entirely the best thing to do.

For the second point that I said above is none other than because maybe they think that they have considerable power in terms of finance, so maybe what they do is as a form of appreciation for the financial achievements they have managed to achieve even though basically it is not very good to do. But in general, in my view, usually rich people will be more considerate when they want to spend money, one of the reasons why they can reach the point of wealth because they have very good financial management, and with that it is only natural that they can achieve this wealth, and yes that's right friends, usually rich people prefer to allocate their money for positive things and the point they think is how to make the money grow and generate a lot of profit.

They came up with the idea of requesting to not let the guy gamble within their area to at least limit his gambling which is for his own good. We understand the reason, it's because they care. That's why if this ever happens, as long as the gambler goes back to his family showing regrets and promises that this will never happen again, I know the family will accept the guy and help him get back on his feet.

First of all trading is risky for beginners then if the question is which is better for beginners spot trading or futures trading, I think anyone here will answer spot trading without any hesitation. Futures trading is very risky and like gambling if caught. If a new member tries to start futures trading first he will lose all his money before understanding the various aspects of trading. A new member should first try to learn about trading, after learning step by step about trading one time he should start first step of trading with small amount of money. When he gets real experience with small amount of money he will understand the real strategy of trading then he can conduct his own trading step by step. Future trading is a step too far for a member, it is better not to engage in futures training if one does not have much experience in trading.
