641  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: July 15, 2023, 03:57:50 PM
I was between 2% and 5% of my earning amount but I finally chose 5% as the maximum percentage of the money I used.
Maybe some people use more than 12% of their income because they dare to take any risk that can happen.
But it's better to budget a little money for gambling for those who don't make much money from our income.
It will be better so that we will not have difficulty playing gambling and it will train us to use the same amount of money for gambling consistently.
But the percentage here will be relative or not the same because everyone's income is different, so the percentage here will also be different.

People holding Bitcoin will still be holding Bitcoin in separate wallets.
But they also do Bitcoin transactions because they need to use Bitcoin for the things they want, so it's not surprising that some people still transact using Bitcoin while they also hold it.
This may be about how you store your Bitcoin in your main wallet so that you can use other wallets to transact still using Bitcoin.
I'm sure those holding Bitcoin must still hold large amounts of Bitcoin in other wallets.
Pretty much describes me. Cheesy
There are wallets I use for the common transaction stuffs wherein my local merchants allow Bitcoin while there are also wallets that I never ever open ever and it's never connected to internet connection for obvious reasons. Pretty sure it's a common discipline for hodlers out there to have a separate world for their crypto wallets.
I don't know if that describes your situation haha.
I do that too because in my opinion, it's the best way to store large amounts of bitcoins and also spend bitcoins on other things.
And I will only open a wallet with bitcoins when the price is too high for me to sell.
So far, it has worked out pretty well for me because keeping bitcoins in two or several separate wallets gives me the opportunity to keep them while waiting for the bull run to come.

Well, maybe there is a little jealousy to see someone who managed to hit a big jackpot in the lottery.
But we don't have to envy them long because their victory is certain.
After all, they have luck so they can only get the jackpot after years of buying the lottery.
I am not motivated to buy the lottery even though the tickets are cheap and I can budget some money to buy them weekly or monthly at a time.
So I think they really deserve to be the winner and can get the big jackpot.
If I'm interested someday, I may go ahead and buy it for fun.
645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 08, 2023, 11:28:21 PM
People who are successful in gambling may not be considered addicts because if we interpret the meaning of someone's success in gambling, it means that the person has a better ability than other people to control himself.
He can control his emotions and not obey or chase victory but manage his gambling game well to get more results.
And this successful gambler can really allocate time, energy and money to achieve that success without having to experience significant defeat as experienced by other people.
And usually, this successful gambler can be wiser in gambling and know how to treat gambling well so he can get something that other people would find difficult to get.
646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: July 05, 2023, 03:06:38 PM
When they observe other people who gamble and are successful in making money, they think that they too can make money gambling.
And that led them to try it for a few dollars and they made their first profit.
That is the advantage for beginners in gambling but henceforth, they will not be as lucky at the beginning because they will face more losing moments than winning.
And when they instead continue to play gambling and even forget the time, they will only become addicted to gambling without them knowing it and will get deeper into gambling.
The responsibilities will be lost and they will not have good self-control so it will accelerate them to become a serious gambling addiction.

The after effect of curiosity and the desire to experience what other people have when they play the game, that kind of mentality is very dangerous as you wanted to try your luck believing that you can duplicate what others can do. Always remember that whatever strategy or whatever patterns that they've used, it doesn't mean that you will get the same result.

Re-assess after facing a defeat, instead of keep insisting on playing that kind of aggressiveness will endanger you to keep aiming for more.
That is why we must be responsible in gambling to avoid big losses.
Many gamblers lose control of themselves and risk a lot of money to gamble to get a win that they don't know when they will get it.
Gambling does not provide benefits but can even cause losses so we must always be responsible for ourselves and not use much money.
Let's just let people win because it's their luck; later, we can get our own luck too.
Play gambling casually, and enjoy the game. That's what we have to do.
647  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: July 04, 2023, 02:18:52 PM
Some people become addicted to gambling because of the way in which they view it; specifically, when it gets to the point where they are unable to control it any longer. For example, when someone gambles in order to make money or when they observe someone else making money from gambling, some people assume they become wealthy as a result. I have never seen someone who is wealthy through gambling and did not become addicted; the most of the individuals I know are gambling addicts. Imagine sitting down and imagining how money will come their way without working, which is, in all honesty, pretty rare.
When they observe other people who gamble and are successful in making money, they think that they too can make money gambling.
And that led them to try it for a few dollars and they made their first profit.
That is the advantage for beginners in gambling but henceforth, they will not be as lucky at the beginning because they will face more losing moments than winning.

648  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do not limits your investment... on: July 03, 2023, 04:50:34 PM
Diversification is another way to increase our wealth through profits from selling assets that increase in price.
But it's not as easy as one might imagine because we have to look for the coins on the market and analyze them one by one by looking for more information so we don't make the wrong choice.
But most people don't want to analyze in choosing the coins instead, they just listen to what other people suggest.
And that keeps them from getting the benefits they want.
If you can't do the analysis, you can use the DCA strategy because it's the same as accumulating bitcoins by buying on a schedule.
649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How big is your optimism for crypto investment? on: July 03, 2023, 02:41:51 PM
I believe in crypto investing because I have managed to get big profits, especially during the bull run that has happened several times before.
After the last bull run, I'm sure another bull run will come and it could happen this year or next.
I suggest that people who are still afraid to invest in crypto, especially bitcoin, learn more about the potential benefits that it can bring them to get rid of their fear of bitcoin.
Those of us who have invested in bitcoin don't really think about the volatility issue because that's exactly what happens with bitcoin and we should be able to use it to our advantage where we can buy bitcoin at low prices.
So don't be afraid of volatility but use it to your advantage and opportunity to start investing in bitcoin.
650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does lottery rewards expire? on: July 03, 2023, 11:36:35 AM
The prize can expire and the casino will use the prize for a new period.
They assume that the winner cannot collect the prize and do not give reasons.
And I think it will also happen to offline casinos where when they can't contact the winner, they will disqualify the winner and maybe replace it with another winner.
But I guess it does happen to people because they hope so desperately to be the winner and the last thing they do is buy the ticket and leave the casino.
It's possible that they won't be back for another 6 months or they may never return to the casino.
651  Economy / Gambling / Re: Whats happening with Betnomi? on: July 02, 2023, 04:45:09 PM
If the site even posts information like that, there seems to be a problem on their server because for a site as big as Betnomi, they should be able to redirect the site to the mirror site so that users can still play gambling comfortably.
And let's hope there's no bad news from the Betnomi team because it looks like there are customers who are worried about their funds.
But let's think positively and wait for the results to inform us.
Maybe you can visit their social media page to ask the team directly.
Meanwhile, I checked Betnomi's Twitter page but there was no info regarding the maintenance schedule.
652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We the Bitcoin Enthusiasts, How can we Safequard our Holdings in Turbulent Times on: July 02, 2023, 01:37:23 PM
Congratulations that you have decided to keep your Bitcoins and plan to order a ledger to store your Bitcoins.
It's not easy to hold on to Bitcoin at a time like today where the price of Bitcoin is still going up and down erratically so it makes people worry but you have shown that you are capable of holding Bitcoin for the long term.
My advice is don't get too affected by the negative news being spread out there because it can make you worry.
Several parties deliberately spread the news to make people panic and sell their Bitcoins, while those parties will take advantage by buying Bitcoin at low prices.
We are only a few months away from the halving after the long wait of the last ATH so soon we might see a new ATH from Bitcoin.
Until then, you should be able to survive and accumulate more Bitcoins so your profits will be even greater later.
653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: July 02, 2023, 04:11:57 AM
But for people who don't want to cheat the system, they will report it to the casino that many people do cheating.
That will depend on each people what they want to do with that and if they think cheating is a bad thing, they will not follow others instead will play as usual.
It's like a mission impossible if don't have a benefit to it. I often find the casino just says thanks if someone finds a vulnerable system on their gambling site. Even if it is very important, the casino doesn't give him any reward or maybe a free bet or something. I think the casino management should think about this. Apart to find out the vulnerabilities, the bounty bug program and review site are good for getting many customers also. The casino must open to any report and must give the prize if someone finds the vulnerability system.
At least the casino management can reward people who find bugs because they have taken the time to find and report them to the casino.
But it seems the casino didn't give it to the guy and just a thank you so it seems people won't be interested in helping the casino in finding other bugs and instead, maybe they will use the bugs for their own purposes.
If that's the case, the real losers will be the casino because they have to go into more detail to find those bugs and fix them and the casino can also get another attack if someone finds the other bugs.
It will give the casino an opportunity to immediately fix the flawed system so that it will not have a serious impact on the casino.
But it will depend on the casino because I think the casino can appreciate those who find those bugs and reward them with thanks.
654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: July 01, 2023, 02:00:39 PM
There are some instaces that we don't know that we are cheating already because of some specific scenarios where we are just taking advantage of the games that are exploited or rigged. Although we don't know if it's indeed guaranteed but if you as a gambler who wants easy money, there is a huge chance that you will also join it as who wouldn't want to increase their chances.
Perhaps, some people will try it to benefit from the tricks they get.
But that would be risky because if the casino found out about it, it would give those people a penalty and even ban their accounts.
And even though the trick is not guaranteed, people will still try it because they aim to win, so they will use all kinds of ways to achieve their goals.
But for people who don't want to cheat the system, they will report it to the casino that many people do cheating.
That will depend on each people what they want to do with that and if they think cheating is a bad thing, they will not follow others instead will play as usual.
655  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I got my stubborn neighbour working for a central bank to adopt Bitcoin on: July 01, 2023, 11:13:58 AM
Most people only judge from the outside without trying to discover or learn what's behind it all.
Issues consume them and what other people say but they don't want to try to find out, causing wrong perceptions.
Bitcoin can be used for good and bad, depending on one's intentions and we have already seen what many people gain from using Bitcoin as an investment.
They managed to get a lot of profit while some people did illegal things using Bitcoin and the media exposed that so people immediately accused Bitcoin of bad things.
If more people find out about Bitcoin, they will realize that there are more benefits they can get than using it for bad things that can violate government regulations.
Do not judge the book from its cover Grin
656  Economy / Economics / Re: What will you do when you have Financial Freedom? on: June 30, 2023, 02:02:34 PM
If I have succeeded in getting financial freedom, I will continue to look for sources of income that I don't have so that I can earn more income that I can use for many things.
By having more income, I can give donations to people in need to help them survive.
And maybe I will open several branch offices in many cities so that I can receive more people who need jobs and that can provide additional income for me.
Besides that, I'm going on vacation for a while while enjoying financial freedom and waiting for the money to flow into my account.
657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ads for online gambling should be banned. on: June 30, 2023, 08:26:58 AM
If the country is serious about banning it. But oftentimes, they are all just publications for the public. In reality, these politicians will need a source of funds for the government to run.
China looks serious about it but you can see they are building casinos outside their mainland. The government itself invests in casino buildings everywhere in Asia.

Online can be easier to ban since they can control ISP to do that for the government but then there are just lots of ways to bypass restrictions. So basically it's still for the show.
If the state really wants to ban gambling, it could lose one of the sources of funds that can provide large tax contributions because the gambling industry is a big business.
And I'm not sure the politicians in the country would agree because they may control the casinos in the country and take the profits for them.
And if the state bans it, they will also lose out on an additional source of income even though it may not be legal.
Maybe the government doesn't need to ban gambling, especially in countries that have allowed gambling for a long time, but the state can prohibit underage people from gambling.
If it is an online casino, the government should cooperate with ISPs in monitoring every connection made by its citizens so that the government can ask citizens who play gambling to report it.
It can control gamblers and the government can also see their activity in gambling through their respective ISPs.
658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My bitcoin journey mistakes and moral lesson on: June 29, 2023, 03:48:11 PM
Investing together is fun, but hopefully he will remember that the risks must be borne together and there should not be envy if the value of the investment that each will obtain is different.
Usually, if you invest together, each person will have a different monetary value so the profit value will vary later.
That is why if he wants to invest, he should do it alone and not involve other people so that the responsibility will not be too big.
Many people will become greedy when they see the benefits already in front of them so they think about increasing their money to invest even though it is not always a good decision.
And investing in bitcoin is a personal investment that doesn't involve other people, so this is our responsibility and not our responsibility to other people.
659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: June 29, 2023, 01:09:39 PM
That kind of business people know how to control and set limitations that they can really follow, unlike with other gamblers
who can't control their emotions, they can easily get addicted and burn their bankroll.

It's always depends on how a person set his expectation, with making money on a daily basis out of gambling, that's really
something that might risk all your money, luck and house edge from the gambling site, things that you needed to consider.

Gambling to earn a little and enjoy, against trying to meet your target in the daily manner which is not possible as you are doing it inside gambling.
But it certainly won't be easy to make money from gambling, especially every day, because no one knows when we will be lucky enough to win.
We can only hope to win by trying it but it's not recommended every day because we have to have free unused funds.
And that is why we all do not recommend using gambling as a job, let alone making $ 100 every day, because it is already difficult to earn small money and it will be even more difficult to earn big money.
And I agree it's better to use gambling for fun and be content with just a little money to avoid other problems.
You don't need to have high targets in gambling because that can make you forget to stop.
660  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: June 28, 2023, 08:43:08 AM
Only by being careful when playing gambling or following promos can we do so we don't get caught in a scam casino trap.
Usually, users are caught in such a situation because they follow a promo given by the casino so they are interested and deposit the minimum amount of money required to get the bonus.
Apart from that, we also have to pay attention if we want to do KYC at a casino and only choose casinos that have been proven to be trusted by many people to avoid cases of fraud that still occur frequently.
We don't really know which casino will end up being a scam but as long as we always choose the casino carefully, I think we should be fine.
And even though there will be data leaks in some casinos, I don't think it will happen to us as long as we are careful.
Data leaks and breaches aren't and should be considered scam activity because even the most trusted and reputable businesses have to face these things at some point in their business, I know that it damages their reputation as not being completely secure but I wouldn't blame them for it because hackers and data breaches are always looking for even the smallest windows to do these things and they sometimes get success in finding the vulnerabilities of these businesses.

So if your data is destined to be leaked, nothing can stop that from happening, but for the sake of better security and privacy, one should look for the platforms that are trusted to be the most secure ones in the community so that the chances of such things happening become minimal.
But at least a trusted business will always protect its data so it doesn't leak and secure the customer's data safely.
Trusted casinos or other trusted businesses know that it's about the reputation they've earned so they will try their best to guard against things like hacking.
But we as users must also realize that once our data is on the internet, it will not be 100% safe because there are bound to be people who want to try to get the data for their interests.
We must be careful and only use trusted platforms in any case to avoid theft of the data.
And we can avoid this by not sending the data to any site so we can be calm from being hacked.
