141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You See Losing Your Weekly Payment to The Casino on: March 02, 2024, 07:51:13 PM
Every person has a different opinion on how much they should gamble but the general truth is no one wants to or likes it when they lose. Firstly let me start by spotting out the fact that one of the most important factor to consider is how important your payment is to you plus how pressured you feel staking it.
Of course some wagers and odds can be quite tempting but the truth is some people are willing to take the bet while others are not. And sometimes for some casinos with catchy games users can easily be persuaded by the odds or wagers to make stakes but I guess what really matters as a gambler is if you can afford to lose it.


No one really likes to lose and this is a solid truth no matter on what intents or those ideas that you do have in mind on which there's no way that you could
really be able to make yourself not to think off about trying up to win against the casino. Just like on what others been elaborating above that having those support kind of thinking or treatment with those
loses is really just that some sort of excuse just to make yourself not really that being hurt much on the condition that you are currently experiencing.
No one really forces you to play with those balances but just said that temptation is really high which that kind of urge is something that will really be pushing you to play even further.
For me if ever i would be recieving my pay on weekly basis on a casino account then i would immediately withdraw it before i would make myself that tempted to play.
142  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: March 02, 2024, 06:50:03 PM
Well, my fitness is awful. I hardly did 30 (10x3) push-ups. Hopefully, by the time BTC hits $100k, I will be doing a lot better than this.

That's the goal!  Stick with it and you'll see improvement quickly. 

Today I'll be hitting 3,000 push ups since I started doing this challenge and besides a few aches and pains here and there I feel pretty great.  I can feel a difference already and it's only been a month.  I'm very glad I saw this challenge and decided to join in.  I can only imagine how great it will feel to actually keep this up until $100K.  I'll admit I have my doubts, but I'm putting in the work to try and make it happen.
I actually broke down after two days of doing this challenge. I took a break from it and treated myself, but am back to it and am doing pretty good now, even though am not hitting 100 push ups daily. Am doing between 60 and progressing gradually. I touched 80 push already today, I think I will maintain it within this region for the time being. I am glad am doing this, I never knew I was killing my body due to lack of exercise. I feel more lighter now and it looks like a big weight left my body. I even notice that am walking faster now and my chest that was looking very flat is now shouting out. Am already seeing results from this challenge.
You would really be having that muscle ache or spasms on the 1st day that you would really be starting this work out but eventually after a several days when those aching do goes away then you would really be able to notice that you would be able to take those push ups easily. The key on here is consistency and patience of course. You cant really be able to get that 100 push ups in a day directly.
Dont rush up yourself on getting that 100's because you could really be able to do it on incremental basis as long you do able to make it, then you would really be having a basis on where you should stop and
when you would really be needing to add up.

It is really just that we do have still plenty of time because $100k isnt something a price that we could be able to hit up for this year i guess. So we do have several months
and this isnt really just that trying to kill that impatience within you but also it does make our body fit and well of course.
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: March 02, 2024, 05:41:53 PM
I've talked about this on a few other pages where we can't lie to ourselves and I'm sure everyone or any gambler comes with the goal of winning. One of the things that makes a gambler have such a goal is because it is clear that gambling provides winning opportunities to all gamblers involved, but on the other hand only a small percentage of gamblers are able to properly understand the overall aspect of gambling which is that in addition to opportunities there are also possible risks that can never be completely avoided, meaning that you can lose at any time in an amount that you may never expect.

However gambling is not a earning activity, I would say NO to this idea, because there is absolutely no certainty and no guarantee that it can actually earn, one of the other reasons is because gambling is always random in terms of determining the winner, and this is why we call it a lucky activity which means you win if you are lucky. What's worrying is that those people who misunderstand what the odds of winning mean, which ultimately makes them push too hard to achieve a win that is basically very difficult and that action will only make them lose a much larger budget.
When we do gamble then we should really be that sensible in towards our actions because its impossible that you arent that totally aware or wary about on the risks involved with gambling.
Know when to stop, this is really just that a basic word but it is really that too damn hard to be done on the time  that you would really be on such situation or condition. People do usually mess up
their lives on the time that they do deal up with gambling just because they are really that having those high hopes that they could make some huge money with gambling.

On the time that you do mold up such kind of idea into your mind then you wont really be stopping not until you would really be able to make it happen. This is why it would really be always
best that you should really know on what you are doing so that whenever you do make some mistakes or errors then you coudl really just that easily adjust
accordingly and do make out those right steps or actions that should be made on.

Yes, awareness of what gambling activities actually are must be really remembered and stored carefully in the brain, not only that because we also really need to apply strictness to awareness, none other than because gambling can stimulate the human brain and mind, which sometimes Even though you have a correct understanding of gambling, you also know that there are possible risks that can occur at any time, but sometimes there are always situations where you can forget all the limits you have made as a result of the understanding you have about gambling, this is in because as I said above, gambling is a stimulating activity, there are lots of things that look tempting there and this means that if we don't put firmness in maintaining awareness then it is clearly possible for you to fall into or be carried away by the current situation. is actually nothing more than a trap.

Knowing when to pull over? in fact it is easier to say than to do, it is not that easy to completely ignore a place that provides an opportunity to make money, even though basically the chance of winning is nothing more than a "possibility" but unfortunately most gamblers are trapped in their own expectations which ultimately give rise to beliefs so high that even they do not hesitate to carry out some too “serious” actions in a place that only provides “possibilities” and not “certainties”, in conclusion, it is the misunderstanding that is the problem.

What he says is very true, and it is very easy to tell him that doing it because it is easy for anyone to say and have to do, but something else is what we live, or that we are there in the casino suffering from these types of events, me personally I have always said, when we were here from the side, many see the bulls from the sidelines, but others have suffered or are suffering from this problem, some want to stop, but they can't, but it is so difficult to change a person's mind. Telling them not to do it other than it is for their own good, they will not do it, they have to find other ways of doing things, that is what professionals are for, like psychologists, like psychiatrists, these types of pre-professionals and they can help a lot in better detail. to an person with addiction, and when you can't stop it is because there is possibly an associated Sddiction , they just don't say it, for that reason how to stop is the great unknown, for some it is very difficult to Stop.

Addictions bring many Problems, it is something that we Cannot avoid , if a person is like this I think that one of the things for which they can fight to achieve Something and start doing all the things, for example to do something to protect themselves , that he Gets tired of his Body , that he gets tired so that he forces himself to rest and sleep, and does not give him time to be in that addiction, perhaps sharing with the family, doing many things that take him away from the desire to play, for that reason It is because we must be very Conscious and tactful at times to say something here, to be able to stop a game of chance is not easy, I would like it to be easy, but each person has priorities under which they cannot fail, it may be the family, work, one's own well-being, excessive gaming, one has to buy something, or something, one should not Stop at once, but rather have gaming Sessions much less than one normally does, which Slows down the money flow, time expenditure and Addiction.
When it comes to self control then this would really be actually varying into someones control and discipline. Results and outcomes would really be that reflecting into someones decisions whether they would really be continuing or not when it comes to their gambling dealing. Not all would really be having that kind of control on which it would really be causing for those disasters to happen due to lack of control.

People wont really be stopping not until that they would really be having into those conditions on which they havent been able to realize that if they wasnt been able to deal up with much
then it wont really be happening on them but on the time that it is really that something that they are experiencing then this is where self realizations would really be kicking in
and this is on the time that you would really be stopping on which this is something that you should have done earlier.

Knowing on when to stop which does shows or reflects on how discipline you are or having that good control on the things that you are dealing up with.
144  Economy / Economics / Re: Some people acts stranded and in need of the ways for breakthrough but not ready on: March 02, 2024, 01:38:25 PM
A very closed friend of mine yesterday asked me to carry him along towards what gives me income, he stated it that the national Economy is currently weak like a disaster to the society bringing even the average citizens to a zero level talk more of those whom are vulnerable.
He made some points about some some known whom where doing so financially and even at now they never slacked from their hustling but just seems like they are hustling in vain because whereas most of them has lost their financial net values to %15 - %25.
He said he is scared of what would happen to lives in the closest future but yet he is wondering what my (EluguHcman) Source of income is because it is obvious that I am not affected with the current system of the economy.
Out of curiosity he said to me that my friend, if you makes $2K monthly income and you take me along with you I will be so satisfied if I can make $50 incomes. Please, show me the way.

I simply asked him if he can engage in an investment platform that he may stay couple of times without profits? He said how long? And I said I don't know, the system would decide then he asked me to give him a range of time then I said maybe around 6months ahead.
He said no way he can', then i paused and deep inside of me, I was happy that I haven't exposed my source of income to him yet which I intended to introduce him in.

In life some people would see you doing so well and would think your earnings comes as easy as they may think. They would envy and wishes to be like you but when the opportunity comes they finds the opportunity ot buy jungle and unfriendly.

We do know that majority would really be loving to have that easy path on making money on which its true that once that they would be able to know about the real stuff on how hard and how long you've been able to
make those profits then you would really be definitely getting discourage and i should say that this is really that a typical reaction into those people who are really that trying to know on what your main source of income.
They would really be trying out their very best on knowing it out because they've seen that you are living in a life on which it doesnt have that kind of stress and worry about financial aspect.
This what makes that kind of curiosity that would be playing into their minds and would trying to know it out.

This is why on the t ime that they would really be able to know the truth and it isnt something that they dont like then they would really just simply say
nah and would be skipping it out.
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it possible to inherit a gambling debt? on: March 01, 2024, 08:59:05 PM
The high rate of gamblers who take loan for gambling purposes is quite alarming, and most of them are fathers to kids. Most of them don't end up taking care of their debt before passing. What happens to the funds, when the lender comes for his money? It's quite a tough one for a person who isn't a gambler to inherit a trouble from a gambling dad. Such things also increase the anger of the society on gamblers, because the addicts are, also, good at extending their problem gambling to other close relatives. Could it be talked through in the law court?
The agreement that was reached at the time the gambling loan was taken is what's going to determine if the children or the family will be liable for paying back those loans to the person their parents owed them to.
 
If the loan was just taken verbally and there was no written agreement showing that if they are unable to pay back those loans, the person should either take a particular thing or the children will pay back the money, then I think they can be able to deny such unless there is substantial proof of that or the children know what their father is capable of and want to clear the loan no matter what; if not, there is a chance that they might not pay the loan if they don't want to.

When it comes on taking some loan then there would really be some contract or terms that needs to be signed on which if ever there are those terms been mentioned about that whenever the borrower
would pass out or would die then his/her family would really be obliged on paying up the loan on which there's nothing you can do but to pay up on what your father or someone had been left into you
which is really that sad specially if you are just living on a family on having that standard ways of living or when it comes to finances. This is why it would really be always best
that we should really be that held responsible on whatever the things that we are dealing on which we do know that we arent that holding our lives. ANything could happen in an instant
and dont make yourself as a burden on the time that you would die. So its better and sensible that you should be thinking up this way rather than on being that irresponsible
with the actions which would be causing up so much trouble even if you do pass away.
146  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When Trading becomes Unfavourable on: March 01, 2024, 08:16:21 PM
There are few factors that leads to unfavourable trading, these factors includes Greed, and chasing a trend, Traders are expected to encounter Challenges during trading and relating these challenges with people's experiences can be the key in solving the challenge, 
Sticking to the trading plan is also good to avoid unfavourable trade as changing plans in the middle of a trade Can really lead to a loss in trade.


It is said that there is no perfect trading, so we can always get earnings here. And this is true because not all traders are the same in the analysis they do and the opinion they read on the chart.
We must learn to have a basic system so that we can get the right technical analysis for the trading activity that we do on any exchange that we do trading on, right?

And we should also be prepared for unexpected things because that's where we can grow and learn more about trading skills.
We should bare up this thing in mind that there's no such thing about being a perfect trader on which no matter how veteran you are or professional then losing is inevitable since this market is volatile and unpredictable.
The only difference into those people who do make out those dealings is that they do know on what they should gonna do. If we do make out such comparison in between noobs and pros then there would really be having that kind of gap in between on how they do handle themselves out of this unpredictable market. Trading isnt always meaning out about being profitable but rather it is also that having those kind of moments or times
that you would really be that having the loses.

There would really be those moments that you might thought that you had made out some profits or money but in the last minute or second it turns out to be negative, then it does really bring out that
frustration on which you would really be having those thoughts that Trading is shit and this isnt something for you. On the time that you would really be able to get up such
experience then you would really be able to make those kind of insights that this is really just that part of the game.
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it possible to inherit a gambling debt? on: March 01, 2024, 07:57:55 PM
If you want to borrow money, there must be a collateral. If there is not collateral, there must be one or more guarantors. I do not think anyone can be a guarantor of a gambler. It is the father that have the debt and if he dies, his family will pay with the properties or works that the father left on earth. I do not think the son have any problem with his own property. That is why it is good to have your own property and be independent.
On the time that you are still that dependent with your parents or simply you havent been able to make yourself made out some savings or having your own family then you wouldnt
really be thinking up on having those kind of separation kind of approach on things in life on which you would really be thinking about having your own property or possession on which
it would really be that separating you with those things that your father have owned. If it turns out that your father had died and made out your house or lots or other possession as collateral
then there's nothing you can do if those companies or lending platforms or similar things will really be getting those collaterals as form of assurance on which it would really be just that a
common approach to have. This is why if you are someone whose a father,husband,provider of a family then we should really be that wise on what we are dealing off with.
148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your expectations on ICE Network in the future? on: February 29, 2024, 08:59:31 PM
Well, this mobile mining is nowhere to go. It has been there even before and as long everyone who participated there have earned and given the airdrop, your efforts have been rewarded. But as for the future of this project, I don't think that their ecosystem is good enough to be long term based on what I've seen that has the same feature as them. I'll just say few words from here, not all successful airdrops will become successful projects and vice versa.

I also got my airdrop from the ice mining app but the price is too low which is why that airdrop makes a very small amount. I also do not see Ice as a good project in the future because they are making many dramas as you may also kow thier recent drama about okx exchnage right? i don't know why the team is miss behaving like this. it is now feels like a shit project.

I was watching a youtuber video who narrated his all story that ice has suspended his accunt with any reason his account was 22 number in the global. His Mining point worths of $16k doller from this you can have idea how the bad team is of ice project. They are miss behaving with their users and exchnages. I also come to know that they have large amount of token through which they can easily manupulate the maret easily. It also seems like they are just making money from their investors/users which also not a good thng about ice. So why should we consider it a good project?
Totally disappointed on this project. . Im not saying their project is trash but their ways on how they do make some airdrop do really sucks big time.  Undecided

Have almost 30k points on their ICE app and ends up on getting 18k which it do make out some decrease for some no reason. Plus,
they do have that quiz as if they are running some periodical test or something like that. lol

Tons of people who had been disqualified and those tokens hasnt been claimed been burned out. So it would really be just that
normal that there are people mostly those Airdroppers are really that getting mad or annoyed with this project.
Well this is really just that on airdropppers perspective and not into its project supporters.
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: February 29, 2024, 06:59:43 PM
Almost all people play to win, and if we summarize what motivates us all, then in general it is finances and the desire to make money. But gambling cannot always be associated with earnings, and even players who are at a significant loss continue to play, why does this happen?

This means that the point here is not always about earnings, maybe emotions during a bet are more important than winning, because the player who loses more than he wins would have stopped long ago if it was only about money. And you should stop only if the losses become too noticeable, if the player loses too much and this begins to affect his emotional state and budget.
It cannot be denied that someone who gambles certainly hopes to win, although many people think that gambling is more appropriate as a form of entertainment, there are still many gambling addicts who hope to make money from gambling.  Of course, the habit of gambling to make money cannot just be eliminated, after he gets a big win, the mindset of a gambling addict will certainly feel addicted to wanting to continue gambling every day in the hope of getting a little income from gambling.  This is of course done for those who find it difficult to stop gambling

I've talked about this on a few other pages where we can't lie to ourselves and I'm sure everyone or any gambler comes with the goal of winning. One of the things that makes a gambler have such a goal is because it is clear that gambling provides winning opportunities to all gamblers involved, but on the other hand only a small percentage of gamblers are able to properly understand the overall aspect of gambling which is that in addition to opportunities there are also possible risks that can never be completely avoided, meaning that you can lose at any time in an amount that you may never expect.

What do you guys think? Does that sound like a reasonable strategy? Is there anything else I need to consider?

Thanks  :-)


Totally depends on you and just checking out on the things you have said or mentioned or method then you are selling out in increments basing up into its movement or increase on which it isnt really that a bad idea.

The only issue i do only see on this one is that whenever the market would be making out that trend shift. Then are you will to wait up for another 4-5 year cycle before you could be able to sell out again?
You would really be needing also to consider about your average price entry because we know that once  this market would be having its bear market period then it could really go its price into the floor
on which it would really be that resulting into such potential huge problem that you could really be having when you do see your portfolio is on negative.

Profit is profit,take whenever you do seem fit. We do have our own takes and considerations on when we should really be that taking that profit.
Just dont expect too much though because this market could make out that u-turn in a snap.
151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: February 29, 2024, 01:02:16 PM
Likewise with gambling activities every day, in my opinion it is not good, because spending money and time in the same place continuously, where the chance of winning will not necessarily continue to increase. Because there is no definite formula for guessing odds in gambling, because the odds will continue to change even if you play the same game consistently. Therefore, it is better to stop before it is too late, or reduce the percentage to minimize losses regularly, for a better future.
Wherever something is detrimental, it certainly won't be good, but as long as you can prevent it, it's still better than letting it happen. We know that it is very difficult to stop gambling every day, especially if you have an addiction such as smoking or drinking alcohol and the symptoms are almost the same. Gamblers will not stop as long as the money is still there and I think it will not end as long as there is still greed for every human being.
We all know that gambling is harmful and greed kills people. Gambling every day will create a craving for more and gradually lead to addiction. When the person becomes more greedy, he or she does not control the urge to gamble but tries hard to hide the gambling behavior. They do not hesitate to resort to hiding lying and even various forms of deception. Nothing can keep them away from that work. This addiction can destroy a person's life try to control yourself without becoming greedy.
Gambling isnt harmful if you are really just that responsible towards your actions on which this is something that you would really be needing to take care on. If you do find yourself that being gradually addicted
then it would be better that you should really be stopping midway. We do know that when it comes to potential addiction then gambling could really give out that kind of probability on which we know that
each one of us does have that kind of certain greed level. Some could be able to control and some cant really be able to do so which it would really be resulting into that too much involvement into it.

Gambling on everyday wont really be that bad if you do really just that make yourself that responsible then it would really be always best that having that control and moderation.
You would really be putting up yourself on such great trouble if everything would really be tending to be excessive. Just play for fun and not really just that for the sake
of making income because this is where people do mess up.
152  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you feel about high-profile traders making wrong calls ? on: February 28, 2024, 09:05:09 PM
I'll give you two examples: Garreth Soloway ( featured in Kitco a few times ) and Davinci ( early Bitcoin adopter )
They both shorted Bitcoin at 50K - 49K. And quite likely they're both getting liquidated soon.
To me it simply goes to show anyone can be wrong, and you shouldn't be certain of anything short term.
When someone, whether a professional trader, popular person, influencer, and other parties make some predictions, it doesn't mean that the prediction must always be 100% accurate. In trading predictions, this does not seem to mean whether the prediction is right or wrong, but rather whether it is close or still far away. Because that's what predictions are, whether they are made from methods and research that are quite in line with the analysis or just because of hope.

But what is certain is how we interpret the various predictions made by these people. If they are not correct in their predictions, don't blame their predictions. Because after all, the final decision for us to do something remains with us. They are only a matter of consideration, not to always be followed 100%.
You should always put it up into your mind that there's no such thing about 100% precise prediction no matter how known or popular those personalities are. This is why im not really that a fan on following those
people no matter how good they are or whatever reputation and popularity they do have. I would rather be trusting up my own analysis rather than on following their but somehow there might be some consdierations
in speaking about snipping some trading ideas with those so called known professionals or veterans of this market, on which you could really be able to snip out some ideas which it could be applied into yours.
The must thing to have as a trader is that you should really know on how to make use both TA and FA on which we know that it is really that relevant here on this space.

It might not really be giving out assurance but you are really that doing  your very best on making the possible best approach towards on dealing with this unpredictable or random market.
There's no way that we can be able to make those precise predictions but at least we have done on what should be done rather than on having those random
and pure guess approach.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. on: February 28, 2024, 07:55:56 PM
I've gotten passed this amount in my life and that's not the reason why I am going to say what I am about to say.

There is no amount of money that worth a life, your life is worth more than any amount, because billionaires remains billionaire only when they are alive, once you lose your life it's over for everything you ever own. .

Also your life doesn't belong to you, we all borrowed it for max of 100 years, when it's time, everyone will drop their life, to me it's not worth to take someone's life and it's also not worth taking your own life because of money, if this man is still alive today he would have recovered this amount already.

People need to be responsible when they are gambling, this act is an act of irresponsible, you feel easy to make money like it's just a straight up line, you don't think about you losing the money, the amount must have been the max he had in his account, why took such risk? It's sad.
Each person does have their own levels when it comes to emotion tolerance on which there are ones who could really be able to control and there are ones who cant be able to bare out on the time that they are experiencing such extreme stress and huge problems into their lives.This is why we could really be able to see that those people who do took suicide on the time that they are into a condition on which a problem is really just that something that cant be resolved out. Yes, we do know that each problem does have its own solution but on the time that a certain individual would really be able to see that there's no way on getting out on this kind of problem or cant be able to find any solution, then this is where they would be considering on taking up suicide as their last option.

It is really that very wrong on having this kind of option to solve or ran away from all of your problems. This is why on the time that you do deal up with gambling then it would really be always best
that you should really be doing make yourself that not getting addicted to it on which it do comes into a time or moment that you are already experiencing financial problems or issues then
this is where people do usually be thinking up on taking up some suicide on the time that they are experiencing some issues or problems on which its never been right on having these
kind of consideration because its never been worth on killing yourself just because you are running away with debt problems or any problems that you do currently have.
This is why it would really be that important that if you do find yourself that being impulsive in the first place and if you are someone who doesnt really like or wants to lose money
then you should have directly be avoiding gambling in the first place. Dont touch up on things on which you cant be able to bare up when it comes into its risks because once you wont really be able
to handle up yourself then this is where these suicidal thoughts would really be kicking in and this is where you should really be considering yourself on stopping on whatever things that you've been dealing.
Just like on what you have said that if you dont like on losing money then dont gamble. People usually mess up their finances just because they do have those kind of unrealistic

I am not financially stable yet, so I am very much grateful for the appreciative increments in the Bitcoin market (bull-run) on going, I decided to cancel our marriage anniversary celebration because I insighted that there is more to gain In my continues hodling while the markets skyrockets than selling off my hodled coins just for ceremonial pleasures which can not profer me financial returns other than consuming the ones saved.

Too many wrong decisions here. Firstly, you are not financially stable but you want to get married, who does that? I know that you don't have to be rich before you get married but being financially stable is very necessary. After marriage, you are not longer for yourself but for your family and you can not put their survival on mere hope of nobody knows tomorrow. Have a stable means of finance before thinking of marriage or better still leave that woman to who can take care of her.

Secondly, what are you holding for in the first place? Wait, don't tell me you invest money meant for your marriage. Holding should have a goal to achieve. If your goal is to get married with it fine but if otherwise, I'll say you have no plans on ground. Moreover, invest with what you can afford to lose has been on a trend for as long as I can't remember and not investing with money meant for things like marriage. For instance, if bitcoin should go down to $0 dollar today, your marriage money is gone right? You have a long way to go.
In short OP is not ready for marriage yet. We all know that marriage is liability and couple should know that before settling down. One or both partners should have atleast one stable source of income to avoid such situation wherein you choose the other option for your I don't know if OP mean money is for wedding day or whatsoever. We should be responsible for what we are planning to do in life so I hope OP will understand that.

OP also does not elaborate whether he is holding Bitcoins or what but let us just say he is, then there is no problem with that as long as they both have agreed on it. Since OP already has done what he think is good for them both so be it.
Even just using up your own common sense would really be able to tell you on who would be the one that will be having a good life when it comes to finances on which it is really that pertaining into those couples who do have savings or have already prepared financially compared into those couples who doesnt have income and doesnt have financial back ups on which it is really that something that could bring out a huge trouble on the time that you do both would be get married. Proper planning isnt really just that only good on marriage life but also in other plans in our lives as well on which you do came yourself prepared rather than on dealing
without having those back ups or plans because there's soo much different in between the two if you do ask me. If you arent that prepared on getting married so better skip it out but if you do already have those
plans then try to make yourself that be able to sustain and could really be able to provide on what are the things that needs up to be provided.
155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: February 28, 2024, 10:53:49 AM
Yes, it is what exactly I have said. You only worry about yourself and you'll not regret it because you lose. There's sort of regret but it's not as heavy as you've relied to someone's prediction.
That's the reason if you're checking out other predictions and you have your own and you followed them and lose, you're going to blame yourself for doing that when in fact, you can also predict and have a better choice.
Indeed. When we gamble or bet with our won prediction, we won't blame other people at least. We may evaluate our own ways, that will be good to do. If we rely on other people prediction, we will never evaluate ourselves but only blames others. Evaluating makes us having better way in predicting or in gambling for the future.

Another matter, we will be proud with ourselves when we gamble and win with our own prediction. But if we gamble with other people's prediction, we won't be proud because we win due to the help from other people.

In conclusion, it is important to have own prediction. It can show how good our knowledge and experience for the game. We will never know this if we always depend on other people's predictions.
We both agree that it's best to have our own predictions because you'll never know how good you are if you don't try.
That is why you need to check your predictions too if they're good enough and maybe from there, you'll see that you have the potential that you'd definitely have to go on through it as you make them.
Predicting yourself is most effective for gambling. By divination yourself it will be easy to know how much you know about it and increase your knowledge. Try to know yourself many of us don't make that effort. On the other hand suffers from the confusion of not knowing oneself. If you follow these habits in life with gambling and other work you will gradually know and understand yourself and learn new things then you will be successful in your own mind there will be no need to follow other people's future plans.
Relying with you own predictions wont really be just that making  you having no regrets with your bets but also it could really make you something much better as a bettor or having those predictions rather than on making yourself that way too reliant with those so called professionals or to those who are really that called veterans. We do know that each one of us are really just that predictors of the said games.
We do know that no matter how good your analysis is, it wont really be giving out that 100% assurance that you would gonna win. If you do saw that follow those fellas would bring out that profits then its your choice
to follow them but dont have those kind of regrets on the time that they would be giving out losing bets.

In my part then im not really that a fan on making up some bets basing up on what those so called experts been given. I would really be fully relying with my own speculations
whether it would really be a win or lose, i wont really be having those regrets on the time t hat it would really be a losing one.
156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Support, do not criticize. on: February 28, 2024, 07:22:59 AM
If you know anybody trying to stop the addiction of gambling to become better for themselves and their family, try and show them support by not criticizing them. If you observe that they experience some kind of relapse and go back to gamble even when they said they were not going to gamble, try to encourage them to remember why they wanted to stop gambling for the time. It is not an easy decision for some of them to make, and even imagining that they will never gamble again can make it worse for them, most of them need all the support they can get to help them maintain the decision to give gambling some time away. If you criticize and mock them, they may nurse in the heart the mindset that gambling is impossible to stop, or even stop trying to stop gambling because you have already made them feel like they can never do it.
If those people are in my circle of friends or to those whom i've known then i would make out those kind of suggestions and advises but if its a complete stranger and i have seen him somewhere about those kind of actions then i wont really be that too confidently be able to make those kind of approach specially if its a stranger. I dont like on getting scolded or would really be told that mind your own business, its not your money
or something with those kind of words on which its not really that shocking on this way and this is why if ever i do see someone then better they should be responsible on the actions that they are taking.

Criticism would really be just that normal i should say yet human beings are naturally that on having that kind of behavior. Just let them be on which there are ones who are really that in concern
and there are ones who dont really care and this is something that would really be normal. Criticize or not it doesnt matter. The only ones who could solve out those addiction
problems are to those people who are on such condition. Self realization would be the key.
157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good or bad idea saving every penny on crypto stable coins on: February 27, 2024, 08:08:26 PM
Sometimes I begin to imagine instead of transferring my money into the bank to keep for a number of days or months before usage in form of savings that nothing will add up instead it remains stagnant or the bank charges me even more. Is it not better I save them on a stable coin such as the USDT?

Please what do you think? Will I end up losing my funds one day if I do so?
To me I feel it's good way to save.

Please what's your opinion on this?
The only issue you would be having or risks when storing up your coins on USDT on which is "Depegging"

Here's a good read about Stable coins depegging.
https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/why-do-stablecoins-depeg

Ex. USTC
Once  you have put up your money into this or stored up and it depegged then say goodbye into your money.
I would rather store up my money into a bank rather than on risking or storing it on a stable coin
but since im that making some trades then it wouldnt be that a bad idea to storing your coins on stable coins specially
if you do able to trade up some coins directly, you could dive in directly once you do see an opportunity and getting out easily
on the time that you cant handle out volatility.
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather vs Pacquiao II on: February 27, 2024, 06:23:18 PM
I think it also has to do with the sport's popularity suffering as a result of the rise in popularity of the UFC.  Most people don't know who the big up and coming boxers are and aren't even able to tell you who the current champions are.  As a result, people in the boxing business have had to resort to throwing whatever name the public will recognize out there in hopes of earning a payday.  I suspect it will get worse until another Mike Tyson comes along and reinvigorates the sport.

That could be true to some degree, but I'm not sure if mma is still gaining in popularity or if it also reached its peak. You see similar nostalgia among the UFC fans saying things were more exciting back then and that things get stale.
I think the popularity of combat sports comes in waves, with ups and downs.
At the same time, we live in unprecedented times when everything is competing for people's attention, from all types of social media to videos/movies on demand (YouTube/Netflix etc). It's way harder for any entertainment industry to compete. Probably boxing is still doing better (in terms of maintaining popularity) than say Hollywood productions.
Personally, my interest in boxing has started to go up recently, and I think 2024 will be a year of some great fights.
Actually you did really have a point in speaking about that popularity is really that still maintaining but i do agree on what Ognasty said above in this regard on which you could really be able not to see on who are the current champions and the current that are climbing up on the ladder due into these kind of unofficial fights. Yes, its not bad to have these things but it turns out that this has become the trend now.
Retired legend fighters or boxers are really that trying out to still make millions on setting up these kind of exhibition fights on which they are really that getting more traction compared into those
official fights that we do really have as of today but well lets just deal up on how this industry would really be going on, as long it could bring out that entertainment then interest would really be pushing through.
159  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Isn't trading almost like gambling? on: February 27, 2024, 10:45:50 AM

Is it possible for him to easily recover his money back or is losses like that very much a part of the trading experience?


I personally think that crypto trading and gambling have more in common than what makes them different, the two share a common factor which is risk, although gambling risks can be said to be higher compared to trading risks, nevertheless they're both very profitable if their risks comes out positively. The difference that I see is that crypto trading has a parten and can be technically analyzed, so traders atleast knows how the market works and what drives the fundamental analysis, but it's not so in gambling, we gamble and depend on luck factor that we can not analyze to determine the outcome, except for sports bet where we can predict the team that'll win.

Your friend shouldn't chase loses, because he can become greedy and lose more money, so it's better for him to trade with the amount that he can afford to loose. 
Trading could really be only be called gambling on the time that you would really be that making yourself having some trades without having any basis on which you would really be just that basically making yourself
doing gambling and this is something which isnt recommended. You shouldn't really be treating up trading on this way. In the other hand on which we know that gambling is really just that leisure and its totally
that not the same if we do speak about trading. It is all different matters and on different ways on how you would really dealing up with it.

If you are someone who do make out trades without any basis then you are simply just making or doing gambling. We do know that it does require analysis and does required out that proper
approach rather than on making those pure guess on which you are really just that increasing your odds on making a bad or unprofitable or losing trade. If you do have this kind of approach
then it would really be better that you should have made out some gambling since from the start.
160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules on: February 27, 2024, 02:34:04 AM
So this led me to ask the general public if I am gambling too much, although this excess didn't affect my finances in any way since I still managed to come out with little winning at the end of the day and at some level, my losses are still below 30 percent of my set out money.
With how your situation sounded, i'd say you're doing fine despite breaking the rule. It's still far from being excessive because you could have the same amount of sessions while gambling throughout the three weeks.

For the question, it's unethical because you set those rules to help yourself become a good and responsible gambler.

I agree with the others that it's a warning sign, so it's always best to track your activity, and if it happens again, then it's time to take action or have another rule that prevents you from going over the limit.

Yes, as long you do have the control then it would really be just that fine since you are the ones who do set out those rules then high chances that those things are meant to be broken.
We do know that active dealing up with gambling could really lead into possible addiction once you do lost off control but since OP did have that kind of control when it comes to finances and he's
been aware on the actions that he's been doing then it does really shows that he had a good grasps towards his gambling activity on which this is something that recommended.

There are really just those people who are really that go lost of track on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling due to that impulsive approach.
This is why it would really be always best that you should really know on what you should gonna do so that gambling wont wreck you up.
