601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Long Term BTC Holders Who Still Haven't Cashed Out Any Big Profits? on: December 07, 2023, 11:58:31 PM
There are still people who are not pulling out their Bitcoin investments even with the previous All time High. One reason I guess is believing that the price could still go higher which is really possible in the first place. In the long run, the direction still of its price is in upward motion which makes sense to think of such thing. There are just price corrections on smaller time frames and that is a normal thing to happen especially to an asset which market price' is controlled and dependent on demand. They would still be in profit for sure, it will just vary whether it would be smaller or bigger depending on when will they want to exit already.

Stress could change tour behavior especially frustration wherein you'd be easily irritated with things. This happens a lot after a huge loss in gambling wherein even the slightedt inconvenience would negatively change your mood. This is also a sign that you are already being consumed by this activity. One reason why we should be preventing ourselves to bet across the amount or loss tolerance. In my case, I am anticipating loss and never disregarding the possibility of it in order to safeguard myself from regrets and frustration. This helped me control and lessen negative emotions after gambling and have improved my gambling expenses as well. Going all out in gambling will make us broke for sure; you could win a one time big time jack but it won't be enough to cover all of your losses eversince.
603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will you say within your limits to encourage responsible gambling? on: December 07, 2023, 11:07:09 PM
I probably won't. People's way of viewing things is subjective and some might be offended if we would be advising them no matter how subtle we are of telling them. Remember you are a staff in the given scenario, therefore you would be considering such factors as well.
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"?
That act can dump you into trouble and cost your job, so as a worker be it in metaphor, overtly or directly it is not in your place or position to  entreat a customer to continue or stop from playing. You are violating work ethics and can land you to trouble and you continue do that same customers you think you are cautioning would be the ones to report to management of your actions and you be fired for good.
As an employer any employee that does that is bad for business and is not worthy of employment in that sector.
Indeed, our personal opinion should be set aside and that is called professionalism with our jobs.Sympathizing I guess with those who lost huge amount of money, probably, is the only reason where I would be stepping up to orher's problems. And this depends if I think that particular person would take my words.
604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos and gamblers are struggling with high tx fees.? on: December 06, 2023, 11:49:34 PM
Well, we cannot do anything on this unless there is an option to use stable coins to gamble. Bitcoin and majority of tokens are in huge pump right now which made the transaction fees bigger than the usual. In these instances, I tend to just hold my funds in my account until the fees drops and until I needed the money which would made me accept high fees. This is why I am only using stablecoins. However, the market price of cryptos won't continously and consistently increasing forever which is why my option is to just wait for things to ease down including transaction fees. But there are also times I just withdraw despite of high fees especially if I have a decent amount of winnings; fees would be always a part of online gambling.
605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sympathetic gamblers looses itself on: December 06, 2023, 11:35:20 PM
Having sympathy and empathy towards ohers is a personality and there's nothing wrong with it. Let us leave things be; if you lose then it's not your day, than to associate it with other things.
I have seen some facial expression gamblers that I am emotionally touched about and feels they have loosed more than they can handle and feels they deserves an condolence winning. While I empathic with him his amount of lost, I am then to consoling myself that someone on here has lost more than I do.


That's a wrong approach to gambling, if a gambler is playing with money that he can afford to lose, there's no need to feel sorry for them, I don't want people consoling me about my losses, that's gambling if your approach to gambling is for entertainment purposes only and you're not looking to make money, you will feel offended if they console with your losses.
Don't show people that you are sorry for your losses, so people will not console you, whatever the outcome show them that you accept it whatever the result is.
They should know it more than anyone else; losing is a part of the game and that simply makes gambling, "gambling". Having regrets as well should not be a habit in this activity because if you tend to regret every amount you are losing, then you should quit already 'coz gambling is not for you. You are only expecting a positive outcome however it happened that gambling won't give you any assurance.
606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You Convince Someone On Something That Will Not Work on: December 06, 2023, 05:17:10 PM
Allow him to find it or to see it for himself. This is gambling; martingale might not be working to many people in the long run but there's no guarantee that it also won't on his case. Give him the benefit of the doubt, what if he actually won most of the time with such strategy? Then telling him will make it more negative. Atleast if it won't work well on his case, he'd be the one to realize and learn from it. Allow things to happen. Although I get the point that OP is just concerned of his friend but no one can really determine the future. It won't even be proposed in this industry without any validation from other player and we are just all shooting our shots or playing our chances. I'd be happy if his strategy would work well in the long run.
607  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Established Altcoins or new potential coins this bullrun ? on: December 04, 2023, 11:23:28 PM
Depends on what type of investment you are into. If you are for short term investments and if you are open with chances then try engaging with newly released tokens since most of the tokens are carried by the hype but nothing's guaranteed. Established altcoins on the other hand will have bigger chances for price increase but expect high volatility with price movement.But so far major coins in the market never failed to ride the tide during bull trend. Thus, your entry point will be the bottomline.
608  Economy / Economics / Re: Luxury and spending lifestyle fastest way to poverty rich kids on: December 04, 2023, 09:35:05 PM
I have heard a rich person saying that if we want our kids to have a better future, we have to educate them on how to grow money, not how to save money. It simply means that we teach them to do good business, not how to spend money like there is no tomorrow. Because at the moment they will know how to make money, earning and saving a lot of it is not hard and impossible. But if they only know how to spend and live a luxurious life, these kids will become poor when they are alone.
The rich have a way of passing their wealth to their kids through financial education if not without proper education in finance kids would always look for means to spend that money on luxury and there is a decision you have to make when it comes to financing it either n/you choose to discipline your self from luxury and choose to be a better person in finance, there is a big difference between growing money and keeping money dormant money is supposed to be used, not kept and that is why I don't believe in saving rather I prefer you invest the money than you keeping it. and there are secrets that their parents always tell them to use and it is always working for them and that is how it continues.
How do we define rich? Is it with savings? Definitely not! It is on one's net worth monthly and annually thus, it makes sense that wealth would be easily passed to the next generation through perhaps existing businesses and properties. A luxurious life can be achieved by many people but only a few could sustain it for a long time. Indeed teaching our kids the importance of wealth is an important thing. It'll help them prolong this thing called "wealth".
I have heard a rich person saying that if we want our kids to have a better future, we have to educate them on how to grow money, not how to save money. It simply means that we teach them to do good business, not how to spend money like there is no tomorrow. Because at the moment they will know how to make money, earning and saving a lot of it is not hard and impossible. But if they only know how to spend and live a luxurious life, these kids will become poor when they are alone.
The problem with parents these days is that they don't want their kids to struggle with money like teaching them how to grow money when they can give them instantly the money they ask for. They don't want their kids to live like they are poor when they can feed them everything they want, that's probably the reason why kids nowadays grow as spoiled brats because they always get what they want without even working for it.

Parents will only realize their mistakes when their kids end up living miserably. They become addicts and some turn into criminals just to sustain their habits and vices that they used to live with.
Kids really don't need to walk our past 'coz it is the reason why we strived for a better future in the first place. Not all rich kids end up broke, and for sure what sustained the lives of those who did not end up in such struggling times, are those who knew how to value money which can be taught in many ways such as rewarding system whenever they achieve something. It shouldn't always be the hard way to teach them.
609  Economy / Economics / Re: Idea and money are very important to investment. on: December 04, 2023, 08:37:15 PM
There are many people who has money to start a business or engage to an investment, same with people who have unique ideas but are lacking resources to make it happen. A combination of two would be best and to complete its execution then there should be knowledge and not idea alone. This is where most of us are falling; we tend to undergo process of learning before application. Knowledge will link both idea and financial capacity to execute things and generate profit.
Is there any way someone can survive only in money in a particular investment without acquire idea? Because I know that idea and money are very important to investors.

No matter how much money you have, going into an investment you have no idea about is silly. You might get lucky and pick the right investment but it won't happen very often. Most of the time, it would end badly. It's not compulsory you must know the nitty gritty of the investment, but be able to understand how it works and understand all the basics.
Going into an investment without having an idea is like going into a business where you have no idea. You will most definitely fail in that business. Even people with knowledge of that business fail.
If you're introduced into an investment, don't just take the words of whoever is pitching tge investmet to you. Take your time, research, learn, ask questions and be sure of what you're doing before putting your money into it.
Indeed a process and that includes trial and errors, endless testing, an ocean of information and more. Proof to this are instances wherein celebrities are starting their business but end up closing their lines because sustainability of it is an issue. This is where knowledge of handling things would matter most.
610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Stories on Bitcoin's Value on: December 04, 2023, 08:09:27 PM
Bitcoins cannot be eaten or drunk. They cannot be seen like artwork or heard like music. They cannot be used for text or image editing like computer software. They cannot be driven like a car or worn like jewelry. In short, bitcoins have no intrinsic value.

Bitcoin may not be used for any of these but indirectly can be used to acquire all of these you have mentioned, there are many opportunities with bitcoin and you could also use this same digital currency to acquire what you want since it's a legal means of making payments and well recognized, what money can do to make life enjoyable for us, bitcoin can do thesame or even better, it's value is always appreciable and we can use it to acquire any necessary life achievement.
Intrinsic value is the perceived value of a particular thing and for sure demand is enough to support such things. With artwork perhaps, it is just a drawing and anyone could do it but why are some artworks has a huge value? It is because of demand; that there are people who would buy it for an amazing price simply because there are people who appreciates it. Same thing goes with Bitcoin wherein this community perceives high value of it which supports the increase on its price. It may not be having a physical value but there is a community which still generates the demand of it regardless of whether they will just ride the tide or they will use it in actual transaction. As long as there is an appreciation then there's a demand, therefore creating a value.
611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which good altcoins can I hold along with Bitcoin for the upcoming halving? on: December 04, 2023, 07:41:15 PM
Ethereum for sure would be a good alternative. But since you are seeking options, you may also consider BCH and GMT given that these two are also quite doing well. Meme coins are also considered by many investors even most of it are having no utility to sustain a bullish demand. If it is with holding, I choose not to invest that much on quantity but only with the ones I think will give me bigger tendency to gain profit. Altcoins which are more volatile could indeed give you bigger profit than the top coins but it'll also be more risky to handle. I'd say stick with decent gains and less risk just to be sure to take home the profit once bulltrend actually takes place. Right now, prices are high but CME gap is still there which could trigger a sudden dump so let us be cautious of entering due to FOMO.
612  Economy / Economics / Re: Inventing a job is better than finding a job on: December 04, 2023, 07:18:26 PM
Yep I thik if you have enough money then you must investment not look for jobs. Because nowdays its hard to find good job after doing studies. If somehow you find a job then that don't give you enough salary according to your qualifications. If you have knowledge and enough money to invest then I prefer you to go for investment. Because investment will take time but it is more freedom and it can give you more money then job's.
Problem is that not all people has the financial capacity to invest and start their business perhaps. Also starting a business won't assure profit. Personally I own businesses and I also have experienced working as an employee. Both has its advantages; being a business owner could give you "skies the limit" salary however you have to find ways to attain that and that won't be cheap as well 'coz it will include trial and errors, time and more. Being an employee on the other hand might give you limited salary but at least you will be only performing particular tasks and won't worry about the company's sustainability; as long as you are working then you will just be paid. Now, it is a matter of preference and capability whether which setting would work better on your end.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Include Or Always Include Gambling In Your New Year's Resolution on: December 04, 2023, 05:40:47 PM
For sure we've been there especially from a huge loss. We would normally desire to stop after a negative outcome but guess who's still here playing? Those are just desires and only is could make it happen or determine whether we would do it or not. Best way to deal with it is to gradually set limits to ourselves starting from the amount we can afford losing for that day or month then with our wagering amount on each bet. Discipline would always start from us. New Year is just an excuse and if we just want to, we may start anytime we want as long as there's our will. Stopping is also just an option wherein we may just impose control than to completely quit in an instant which is harder to achieve.
614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: December 04, 2023, 05:18:04 PM
Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.

Was that your last $10 you lent your friend? I doubt. So, if you wanted to bet a larger amount, you could do so. But if it really was your last $10 you had, then you shouldn't have lent it to him in the first place.

His reaction would be different if his bet turned out to be a losing one. We just tend to regret things especially if it did not go the way we wanted to. Things happened already and that caused his reaction with what ifs but as others have mentioned, he would for sure be thankful that his friend borrowed the money if he lost his $1 bet because it could have been added to his losing bet, if and only if he lost. This is simply the concept of gambling; you'll never know the outcome u less it already happened. Also in the first place it is with his initiative of lending that person who he even called a "friend". No good friend would be mad of something which did not happen as caused only by regrets.
615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Parental Guild on Bitcoin on: December 03, 2023, 10:19:15 PM
Bitcoin is a type of currency, and children should learn to manage money. Of course, it would be extremely unwise to give a child access to big amounts of money, and in an event of loss of that money, I think the blame should be on the parent.
But making a fresh Electrum wallet for a child, teaching a child (a young teenager, I'd say) to store a passphrase, to send money and generate a Bitcoin address is a good idea. There shouldn't be any significant money there in case a child makes a mistake and the money's gone, but I don't see harm in, say, $10 being there, under the kid's control. As for centralized exchanges, I believe they're 18+ to not dive into the differences of legislation in different countries.
The idea is to tech the young ones about this industry at an early age however, we should take appropriateness be considered in these instances. Bitcoin and this industry are profitable and advantageous however if the child still has not that much of interest then never pushed them to something they do not prefer 'coz it could result to confusion and fade of interest in some instances.With age restriction, as long as the child knows what he is doing. I'd say things do take time to all of us. Guide as well is different from mandating the younger generation to walk on the roads they talked. Sometimes we are just getting too hype.
616  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is it still risky to Invest into Altcoin now? on: December 03, 2023, 10:01:09 PM
I can't explain properly but i can said this real time to buy altcoins because we are nearly of in bear market. So you should bought right now without i hope you will miss bear market profits chert. You have might be know the altcoins market risk step so you can get risk mind then is possible everything.  For a crypto market everything is possible so you should go on you way.
Are you confused between bear and bullish market? Indeed it is ideal to buy during downfall of prices in the market but you have to catch the momentum as well. In general it would be better to buy during and from the start of the bullrun simply because profit will be much anticipated.Also not all of the tokens we would be buying on their lowest market prices, will be guaranteed to increase in bullrun. Some are just considered 'dead' for a reason. If you plan to buy early then prepare to hold and endure market price changes until it recovers.

It would always be risky to invest not only in altcoins but also with Bitcoin. Risk will always be present as long as volatility and issues regarding acceptance as a mode of payment exists.
617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I'm looking for sites with good sports predictions on: December 03, 2023, 09:33:27 PM
Outside the forum, I have been asked about WhatsApp and Telegram groups where sports betting codes are shared, I always tell anyone who ask to please share to me if they should find these such groups and websites because I will like to be a member.

Please recommend good sites with quality sports predictions and detailed analyses of predictions
Try to become independent, than making decisions that will make you dependent. If you try to master the analysis of games to make predictions, even if there are these kinds of websites you have asked for or groups, you will only see them as where to read another opinion if you do not have other gamblers around you.
It is like betting money with other people's guess; no assurance still unless it is an official leak or signal. However it would be better creating your own analysis indeed and not relying to such things. There's no easy way of getting rich in an instant. You have to work hard for it thru various ways. But I would still go with personal bets simply because it helps me to enjoy my gambling experience and saves me from regrets especially with losing signals. If there's such thing as an easier and more assured betting suggestions then many people should now be rich from sportsbetting. Think of why mainstream artists are still losing even if they have the money to engage with such groups or websites?
618  Economy / Economics / Re: The power of investment choices on: December 03, 2023, 08:58:38 PM
The easiest way is to see when you want to achieve your investment goals. short, medium or long term. If it is short term, then choose the investment with the smallest risk. Long term, choose investments with the highest risk and greatest return.
Actually it is the opposite; if you are aiming for long term it should be a low risk investment in order to sustain the value for years and if it is with short term investment then high risk and high profitability would be preferred 'coz it is expected to run for a short period of time, thus should be compensating enough. With investment choices, there are many factors to consider not only risk and profitability but also investor's knowledge and preference, as well as financial capacity of which one would be suiting him. Engaging to all of it at once won't do anything good.Knowing advantages and disadvantages would also help for a better result.
619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing altcoins now or during halving? on: December 03, 2023, 05:40:02 PM
The misconception is; many people thinks that the bullrun will start right after the halving but if we would check the market wayback the previous halving, the pump took place after a couple of months. So if the question is the perfect time to invest then I'd say after the mentioned event. However if you can afford putting your money into sleep for a period of time or until the bullrun starts, then that would be better. Problem only is that, not all investors in this industry cannot afford doing so; they need to always find that 'perfect' entry wherein they wouldn't want to wait that much before earning profit.If it is altcoins, then for sure there's a large pool of names to choose from and if it is with long term holding, coins which has established names in the market, are the ones which would be best to engage ourselves with.
620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Bitcoin investment is the key to success" on: December 03, 2023, 05:08:17 PM
You don't need to regret selling your bitcoin, your knowledge in mid-2022, your choice is right in investing in this asset. You have made a profit from Bitcoin, you have received an item (laptop) from Bitcoin profit. In essence, if there is something urgent or sudden for your education or other reasons, you are not wrong in taking the step of selling the asset.

There are still many ways to multiply our money, it doesn't have to be investing in Bitcoin with prices that are already quite high, there are still many good altcoin projects and the prices are still quite affordable. There's nothing wrong with investing in altcoins, of course if bitcoin soars high the altcoins automatically do too.

Circumstances will always be a factor in any investment. Not all people could just hold to their assets until satisfactory; there are investors who were forced to act upon the situation such as emergencies and necessary events. Bitcoin is really a profitable investment which would definitely leave you nothing but regrets from selling too early. However, if doing so would aid your problem then I cannot see something wrong from it. The market price will not increase and break the ceiling in an instant which makes sense to say that opportunity to invest will always be there. You may also engage with other tokens as others have said as an alternative.
