I've sent three months off gambling, because something unexpected happened with my job and I couldn't make extra income that I can use to gamble, I just put a stop ⛔ on gambling and I wasn't hungry for it, this makes me feel happy about myself, because the gambling addiction stories that I have heard about have everything to do with unsatisfactory, addicted gamblers never feels satisfied even when they can't afford to gamble, that is why we see people taking a loan or borrowing money from friends to gamble and the moment they lose the money they may turn to more evil way like stealing or forcefully taking money from strangers.

Can you take a break from gambling? If yes, how do you feel after taking that break? That's when you will know if you are getting addicted to gambling or not, if you feel nothing then you are in good hands.

That is really good, but if you build a habit like doing gambling every Friday night, for sure you'll feel something to it even if you are not addicted, as you build a habit to do it every Friday night. But again, even for myself, I don't have a regular schedule for gambling; it is like I play when I want it, and there are times it will last a few months, so I am good to go if I do take a break and gamble and still feel nothing.

That is a really cool idea, and it is also a good business of yours or side hustle as you spread awareness at the same time you earn money as you sell it to others. That is also good on saving it  like pennies or small amount as it will accumulate overtime. I don't know about others, but here in our country, almost all of the children have this so that they can learn how to save and buy stuff they want with their savings.
1223  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: May 26, 2023, 04:12:56 PM
Up to your hand. First of all how much extra money have your pocket. If you invest 100$ in a week and no extra money in your hand then how you can manage your life? The price of crypto totally unstable so profits chance totally luck. There are many people giving buy store advice but no one can recover your loss assets.

That is really the problem with people: they tend to only think about the profit and don't assess their current situation, like if he spends that amount and goes broke, for sure he can't eat anything as he doesn't have money. So it is really best to assess your situation and see if you can afford it because no matter how big your investment is and you go broke after it is still useless, for sure you'll panic sell on it or just a day goes by and he will sell it off.
1224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your Life After 10 years in Bitcoin... on: May 26, 2023, 01:47:50 PM
The Bitcoin community is definitely worse today than it was 10 years ago, so many people that were against crypto back then are now using crypto to scam.
I think most scams come from altcoins, not Bitcoin. So, you cannot judge Bitcoin community to be worse because of many scams lately. You must check again where the scams come from and why it appears. And you must understand that scams already appeared many years ago, they don't just appear recently.

For me, Bitcoin community should be better today since we already have more people involved. We also must realize that we already have varied Bitcoin communities after more people trust Bitcoin. Anyway, you must view the positive side of Bitcoin improvement, too. Bitcoin isn't always related to scams, Bitcoin is used for many purposes. People even use Bitcoin for donations now, it helps a lot the social or humanitarian issues.



You are saying most scams come from altcoins; you actually need to be specific on which kind of scam you are referring to. If you are talking about scams in which crypto currencies are used as means of payment for all sorts of illegal activities, then it's not just altcoins; in fact, Bitcoin is one of the most widely accepted and recognized digital currencies. In this kind of scam, they claim to blame Bitcoin for it, but it's not actually Bitcoin; it's the people who are using Bitcoin to make payments that should be held responsible for those scams. With or without Bitcoin, they can and will always perform their illegal transaction with other means of payment.

Altcoins are also mostly used for scam payment, but where I see Altcoin in a major scam is the fact that they produce bunches of Altcoins all the time with a fake promise to deliver, which never happens. All they want is to attract victims, sell their tokens to them, and pull off the scam with the funds. But using any crypto to make payment is something we should also consider; such payment can also be made with physical cash, gift cards, and every other means of payment that can be carried out to execute a transaction.

Bad people just used bitcoin as their payment method, or others will say that they trade bitcoin and they are earning bitcoin, but again, this is like any fiat money as it is also involved with illegal activities. It is not the currency or bitcoin that is bad; it is the intention of the people on how they can amass money on other people, and they just used it to pretend that it is legit. People these days are really doing anything just to scam people. Also in altcoins, it is used by other developers to scam people because they can easily hype it as well as develop a coin that those who are new to the industry get baited into.
1225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why choosing instant withdrawal casinos on: May 26, 2023, 12:20:25 PM
I don't know why your withdrawal took 24 hours as others only take a couple of hours. I'm not sure what gambling you are choosing, but for sure, if there are instant withdrawals, the fees are too huge, which is why others are forced to use the other method. It is also your fault as you were unable to control yourselves and cancelled the withdrawal. Also, it doesn't make sense if you already withdrawn it and received the money, and again after 24 hours, you will deposit back those winnings.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: May 26, 2023, 11:13:40 AM
I can’t say his father was right nor wrong in his decision. I guess the father is just very strict when it comes to rules and standards and have always seen gambling as a bad habit from the start. And maybe he’s not in badly need for money so he can easily reject even if it has the ability to bring a lot of changes in their family. I just hope he’ll realized that gambling is not that bad after all.

We can't actually go against our parents wish, maybe the child has not being behaving well before time that makes him lacks a good rapport with the father and the father never rely a trust in him because of his way of life, how could you expect him to accept such from the child when he's not even sure if he truly win the money through gambling or stole it together with friends he hangs around with, which makes me think that it could be possible for the father to accept the money if he had rely his trust on his as one that takes his life serious.

That is also the possibility that the father don't trust his child as he thinks that it came from illegal things and not on gambling , but again we cant conclude on anything as we only have few things on it and there are no clue on why it is and how the child won it , the final thoughts on this really is his father doesn't want it and not all wants money that coming from gambling ,even in our selves we accept it but to him he doesn't want it.

I think people learned a lot from what happened in the past to those exchanges that went bankrupt and were not able to get their assets. This is really rampant this year, so people should be more cautious on this, and people are now moving to the wallet where they have the keys. There are also a lot of suggestions to not easily lose it, like putting it into metal and not on paper, but basically the important thing is that you own the key and you can only access it, not like having an email, username, password.
1228  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: May 26, 2023, 06:43:04 AM
Of course. people who want side jobs are those who add to their income outside of the income from the main job. I think it's better to do work without risk or if it's an investment, use money that is free to use, don't use money that will be used. using the money you want to invest is a fatal step where you can destroy your own assets in one mistake.
So, in fact, money from side jobs can also be used for investment if indeed the additional income is cold money. We can use the basic salary from our main job to meet our daily or monthly needs and additional income from side jobs for savings and investment. at least that's what i do at the moment. and also don't forget to keep our body healthy. by paying attention to a healthy lifestyle such as adequate rest and eating healthy food. and occasionally accustoming our bodies to regular exercise is also very necessary. even though it's only 30 minutes per day, it can have a big impact on the stability of our health.

but not all are as lucky as you that the main job is enough for their needs, as others tend to have side hustles so that it would be enough, so they can't still use it for investment unless they have a good salary that can meet their needs. That is really the sad truth right now: people are working more than one job so that it will be enough for their family, and they are also sacrificing their health and time just to maintain those financial things.
1229  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why is crypto trading so similar yet so different from Forex trading? on: May 26, 2023, 04:33:49 AM
Forex is less transparent. Even the volume is not real. The volume you see on any forex chart is not actual volume since it’s impossible to report that. It’s basically the amount of ticks and it’s an estimate. You don’t have any liquidation data or even open interest.

Crypto is more transparent and you can use that and have a better chance of making actual money. Most that tried forex lost most of their money. Something like 99% of all forex traders lose all their money and give up.

This is right! also this is the reason won't you be hearing a lot of total volume in forex. They tend to always talk about news, and Forex is mostly affected by news, like every day there is news in the country. It depends on what pair you are trading too, as Forex value will be affected by all types of news, like economic news, catastrophes, or anything else that involves the country. Why most forex traders do not want to move to crypto is that it is not that predictable in crypto. I think it is because they have a lot of experience in forex and are already able to easily read the chart patterns and know which is the best entry into them.
1230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dubai to construct the world's first bitcoin tower on: May 26, 2023, 03:36:47 AM
That is really good news for us and for the bitcoin community, as that can bring significant growth in adaptation in bitcoin. But first, if ever this building is already done, having rental on it is very expensive, which only those rich guys can afford, and their staking is very expensive. I am very curious on how they will do it and how the developer or owner of it can still gain profit. But again, Dubai is always surprising us. The same is true with their The Line project, which they already started. Let's hope this bitcoin build will be successful in the future.
1231  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I don't know if am right or wrong about this. on: May 26, 2023, 02:34:13 AM
when you have explained about the risks, and he accepts it, then you are beyond that responsibility. if you still feel bad about it, then stop giving information about trading to him, and tell him to find out the information himself. tell him that when you have started, then come to yourself and share about his experience. However, if you still want to guide him, then try to minimize risk by using a minimum deposit on an exchange to do a trial error in trading. maybe $10 is enough. I'm pretty sure that he will get an idea of what trading really is and the risks involved. However, it's all beyond your responsibility, and you don't need to feel bad about this, in fact, you are giving new knowledge to your friend.

But if he continues to give guidance, I think it is better to do it on demo by teaching him to read the chart because if you deposit $10 while still guiding him, it is still useless. It is better to make him deposit the money and try his own strategy so that he can learn from it. It is really debatable on this, as others don't want a demo while learning as there is no feeling in it, but this depends on what he wants. But for sure, you are still worried right now, so don't give him more advice.
1232  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you consider moving abroad? on: May 26, 2023, 01:46:47 AM
so far there is no desire to move and live abroad. I am more comfortable living in my own country with various customs and cultures. it's hard to leave the habits that have been ingrained since childhood. Even though I will have a lot of money overseas, I can't afford to start life in a new situation, so I have to adapt. this is because the main thing is that I am already married and have children, so I learn to be grateful for what I have now
I understand because it's certainly not an easy matter to adapt abroad,
it's a normal thing because of cultural differences and many things that make it difficult even though everyone certainly has their own way of how they adapt in a new environment,
especially if you already have a family, of course it's not easy to leave it.

You really need to adjust because of the environment on it , it is either too hot or too cold and mostly I've noticed those people who went to other countries they got sick as they are still adopting to the climate there but after that they will able to adopt the temperature on it , what most difficult is mental health because you are too far from your country as well as family which is your mental health is kind of eating you if you are  not taking care of your self, that is why it is better to join community there with the same nationality with you so that you have friends to talked with.

There is a lot for us to learn and adapt if we want to migrate to another country to live and work. But everything will be nothing if we want to go and be consistent with our choice. Things will be difficult at first, but it won't be more difficult when compared to staying in the homeland without money. I think there is nothing more difficult in this world than having no money. Moving abroad to work will be difficult, but in return, it brings a lot of money, and that is why many people choose to work abroad.

But still, there are others who prefer not to go abroad and settle in their homeland with a low-paying salary; they don't want to be away from their family, and as we know, life abroad is so hard. There are really people who will say they want to go abroad so that they can save money and renovate or purchase a house, but others will also say that they don't want that house or cars. The more important thing to them is that they have their partner by their side, especially if the child is still growing. That is a really difficult part.
1233  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you should use spare money to invest on: May 25, 2023, 04:14:41 PM
It is sad truth that millions of people are working towards saving money to buy unnecessary things like 100s of clothes/dresses. 50s shoes etc. They can't realize they could buy their future life if they use their savings towards investments. Many stock markets are in very cheap prices right now around the world. Bitcoin is also fairly cheap in my opinion. Why would someone save money to not use it at all? People should not worry about potential losses through investment. You can have new lessons anytime you waste money.

Everyone has a different lifestyle, you can't expect everyone to invest and not buy any necessities. If that happens, it will be even worse for our world. Without the consumers of those products, companies, factories, and workers would be unemployed and with worse consequences than not investing. Furthermore, investment is not always profitable. So many people don't like to invest and they like to enjoy their life. We invest because we don't have a high paying job, but many people make tens of thousands of dollars a month, I think they don't need to invest they still have a bright future.

Many people don't invest because they don't want to risk something; it doesn't mean that if you invest, you can't enjoy your life. Those people who decide not to invest in something have their own reasons, and those who invest, their main reason is to profit. Also,  all people, no matter if you don't have a high-paying job or have one, can invest in it because that is the time that you could be financially free and could set up a business on your own.

This is really a personal problem that also involves with bitcoin , the way that you tell your uncle is okay but next time always respect those older than you even they are disrespecting you , just don't listen to their nonsense saying like what your uncle said; he has nothing to say, he doesn't know what bitcoin is, and there is really no time for bitcoin to hit ATH. Now show him what the true meaning of bitcoin is, slap him with money, and tell him in his face that you are doing well and better than your uncle.
1235  Economy / Economics / Re: marry rich: marry fiat rich or crypto rich, which is better? on: May 25, 2023, 11:07:49 AM
One characteristic that qualifies someone to be Mary is that they are financially fit. It must not be a very rich man, but at least partially rich, even if it's a middle-class man. A common meaning of rich is being able to afford what you need. So once one can afford their needs and the needs of their wife and children, they can go ahead with marriage, but when one is absolutely poor, they should work to put some money in their pocket before thinking of getting married. Although some people are not so rich before they get married, after some years of marriage and growth in knowledge as well, they excel and do better.
I consider it stupid to look for a rich husband or wife for marriage, first of all you need to find a person with whom you will live comfortably, for whom you will have real feelings. They can achieve prosperity together and this will be the best option. It doesn't matter how wealth is achieved in crypto or in any other way, the most important thing is that it be achieved. If a family can plan everything together and achieve their goals, then they will succeed.
It's really ridiculous when married more looking for wealth or wealth than comfort,
I think when looking for riches it's probably not really loving it,
what is clear to me is that such a marriage is not an ideal marriage.

As most of the videos that I've watched regarding marrying rich people or old rich men show, they will tend to love that person later on, but again, it is still not enjoyable to get married because of money. Just imagine they are saying, "Yes, I do," in front of the church or all of the people around them, that you loved him, but it is all a lie and you only want the money. But again, that is their way to survive, and we can't judge them; I just hope that they can find happiness in that thing they got into.
1236  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling is a choice. on: May 25, 2023, 10:05:39 AM
Gambling is a choice for most people and that is a healthy choice and the healthy way of creating customers that stay and enjoy in the long term. However for many individuals this is not true, as there is something they cannot control that makes them bet over their budget or not stopping when fun is no longer there. I would not say it is a choice for everyone, just for most people.

You have a point as people are built differently, but for good people should control themselves unless it ain't destroying their lives because what I've noticed about those people who overbet is that they always lose and it is affecting them financially as well as their relationship with their family, but there are really more that can't control themselves even if they only have a few dollars left. They still gamble, like in the lottery, where I've noticed a lot of people will try their luck even if they only have a few dollars left, meaning it is really a choice or an uncontrollable choice.

In reality in this world wherever we go we encounter losses especially in gambling we can not say that always our by will win cause there's a time that we are unlucky and we will loss our bet. So it's better to have self control and be responsible in gambling. Spending money must be a good budget and it's better to gamble in your existing money it because if you loss you won't feel a very bad thing.
Correct. By having control, we can at least avoid losing a lot and save money to use the money another day. But it turns out that many people still don't do it instead of using more money to gamble, where they only get to lose again. And spending your money one time playing gambling is not recommended unless you have a lot of money you can use to gamble another day. So having control can help us survive and prevent gambling addiction, which can come at any time.

That is really the key to not getting addicted to something; if you can control yourself, then that is good, but if not, then that is a huge problem. People are really learning how to prevent this, but it is difficult for some as we do have a different mentality. That is why others tend to have strategies to prevent those kinds of addictions, like having a budget or having a hobby like sports, as they tend to forget to gamble. As long as people know how to control themselves, they can't get addicted to something.

Even though even today not everyone knows how non-custodial Bitcoin backups work, I assume this was years and years ago (probably pre-2017 bull market) when Bitcoin wasn't that much of a household name yet.
The video was uploaded 7 months earlier so don't know when exactly this happened with him and in past also btc was well known but the robbers might not be having idea about it or they were most probably looking for some physical goods they can instantly sell for cash.But Mr beast was lucky that they didn't get it otherwise it was big amount to loose and how can he just normally put the keys on paper next to pc I can't understand? So this is a lesson that we should safely backup our keys and also have house safety.

I think this is old because do you remember before that before creating a wallet the platform will recommend to the user to write it also in paper not just save it in your computer but in today's date it isn't recommended as it could be easily misplaced. For sure Mr. Beast right now invested to hardware wallet as it is more secure and he is for sure putting it into his vault
1240  Economy / Gambling / Re: STARTING OWN CRYPTO GAMBLING SITE on: May 25, 2023, 04:33:28 AM
Every casino owner have a big responsibility they need to have a good plan in order to prevent any issues and also the best thing to do if you are planning to make your own casino it' better to have a business partner because having a business partner is very good cause er are all know that two heads are better than one. And also a bug capital of money you must have in order to sustain your casino because for sure a lot of new players want to try once you have a good service.

Also, it is better if your partner has experience running a casino because it can run smoothly, but that doesn't mean that if both of you don't have experience running a casino, it won't be successful. As long as you both learn how to do research and find connections or contacts, then it's good. What's really good for those who are planning to start their own casino is that they should listen to their users, as it can give more excitement to those gamblers and make them stay longer at the casino.
