I very much agree with this.

Way back, I was really oblivious about the abuse on animals because I just don't mind about something that doesn't concern me. But on my formative years, I learned how to be empathetic and being one doesn't necessarily mean you are weak or you are emotional. In gambling, it shouldn't really be about fighting off animals amongst themselves who can't even give consent.

Cock fighting often results to death. Not only it damages the game cock for some time, but it is really fatal. And I don't think it's ever justifiable to have an animal killed by thinking of surviving by fighting off their own kind just for the sake of bets.

House is very important, I think the only houses that are soaring high are those who are inside a subdivision or a village, but if you really wanted cheaper, I think buying a lot and then build your own house is much better, at least you're sure about its quality and you'll be satisfied about the design. Rather than renting, which cost you monthly, in the end, you still doesn't have a house.

It's much better to sleep without worrying about your rent bills not getting paid on time sometimes. Also if you're gonna settle down, owning a house is a great one.

People will always love banks and fiat no matter what, they can't just simply love something that they didn't even know exist, or how it works. All they know is that cryptocurrency is a scam because how come that is has a very big value, etc. You can't force them to invest in bitcoin rather than letting their fiat sleeps and stolen in their bank account, because they will just blame you if they didn't like the outcome after they bought bitcoin or any cryptocurrency using their fiat.

Lack of solid plans, more random decisions that are made in a very short amount period of time, in short, they lack patience or they got too arrogant to the point that they think that they can do anything because they have a lot of money. The other thing that I could think of is that they lack on financial management, like a good one, that is why they carelessly spend their money on to something they think that is a good investment but it turns out that it is not.

If it is about business, I think they made the wrong choice in their product, or it doesn't fit on the place where they started the business. If it is something like cryptocurrency maybe they invested in a project that is all about sugarcoated promises to fool people.

If you don't have any budget but you really wants to buy bitcoin, then do something about it, look for a part-time job if you're a student, or maybe look for another way to earn money if you already have a job right now. The only reason I only think for you to be afraid is when you will spend all of your money in bitcoin leaving you nothing, what I mean by that is that you will have nothing left to pay the bills and to buy your food, because you think that bitcoin will give you a large profit overnight, or even more silly.

But if you don't want to look for another job, look for someone like a relative or friends that are wealthy enough that is willing to lend you a certain amount of money that you desire to invest in cryptocurrency that will not give you a limited amount of time to pay back what you borrow.

This is the simplest and easiest way of making profits in the long run. Buying low Selling high from time to time is also good if you're getting bored on spot, though long term profits are still the best especially if you don't want to risk your chances in futures trading. This is also a best way to not waste your fiat sleeping on your bank account or even in your little vault in your room.

I'm just curious where do you live to have a must income per week like that? $10,000 per week is like living your life like a rich kid, or a spoiled one, or I guess you just like to buy expensive stuffs but you don't really need it at all.

I don't believe you have to push yourself to earn at least $10,000 per week, I think you should be happy on whatever amount you could earn per week in trading, depends on your skills, because you can't expect more if you know to yourself that you're just a normal trader, or maybe just started trading. It's kinda pressuring to set that $10,000 per week, that could lead to disappointment if you didn't meet that, which could affect your trading plans that could lead to more losses.

Anyway, this is just my opinion.

Holding is very easy if you know what you're holding, what are their capabilities in the long run, and especially their worth. However, there might be some scenarios that could happen while waiting, like for example an emergency, where you need a large amount of money therefore you'll be force to sell your bitcoin and convert it in your local currency to assess the situation, or might be anything that is urgent.

That's why I always invest my fiat on cryptocurrency 60:40, I never forget to hold some extra fiat for my needs and just in case there would be an emergency. I don't wanna ruin the profit that I could make in the long run, so I always plan ahead.

Not because you started trading doesn't mean that you will be rich. Not because you put too much effort on studying about trading, asking advices, paying for indicators, doesn't mean you will succeed on most of your trades. Trading is not compatible to everyone, you gotta know where you excel the most, where your skills are useful 100%, because if you'll force yourself in trading even though you can't see yourself being a successful trader, then whatever you'll do is useless.

"God gives mercy to those who help themselves" in short, ask God for his mercy to help us, and don't stop trying until you find the work that works for you.

Indeed. All it takes is discipline. However, the sad reality is that, not everyone possess it. Which is the reason why a lot of gamblers suffer from addiction.

Some people have a hard time setting up boundaries and limitations. And they even find it more difficult to actually obey and follow it once they have made it because they don't have the discipline to do so. They tend to crave for more and instead of suppressing it, most of the time they give in. There's really nothing wrong in gambling and betting as long as you are doing it moderately and responsibly. It just turns out bad the moment you prioritize it over anything else and put it in the pedestal of your life.

Chasing winnings should be a no-no too if you want to keep your sanity because being desperate on winning and being greedy on taking the prize will just cost you so much. Remember, gambling shouldn't be your thing to rely on to earn money. It could be an additional stream of income for you, but don't let it be your main because it has so many risks and it isn't really guaranteed you'll win everytime. Always prepare for the worst, so never ever bet all of what you got just for the sake of having "fun".

Play to earn is somewhat considered as gambling because you are already risking something the moment you decide to pay money just to play and then earn. Play to earn has really no guarantee that you will indeed earn in the long run. It might turn sour after some time, so you must always brace yourself from the unexpected. That's where the gambling concept is included in it. There's still uncertainty from profiting from it. It's still much better to have a source of income that is stable and has less risk involved to keep your peace of mind.

But if this p2e will only be your form of pass time and additional income, then it's all good as long as you won't fully depend on it for your needs. If you only want to try gambling and have some entertainment, taking the risk to the unknown future of the p2e (whether it will be successful or not) will be your form of gamble.

You can't really be quite sure about it. Just because they behave like that, doesn't really mean that they are playing real money. Although for sure, there would be signs, but I'd just like to remind you that they could act depending on the character they want to portray in their stream. Some streamers are really paid well from making contents that promote the casino. Most of them, if not all, are given free money to spend in the casino to play and to make a good content for advertisement and promotion reasons.

Depending on their agreement on whether receiving free money outright just to play and make content or using the streamer's own money and then offering a reimbursement afterwards could be their deal. What I'm certain of is that both parties have a win-win situation because they are both benefiting from the set up. Streamers having more engagements means more supporters and more money. Meanwhile, being promoted by well-known streamers that have good reach on audience means more traffic on the casino website and more potential players and regulars that means more profit on their end.

Minors are prohibited to gambling in most countries for a reason. It isn't imposed just because. There are many good reasons as to why underage people shouldn't engage in gambling. In my perspective, here are the things to consider valid grounds to not allow minors to be gamblers.

1. They are not yet good decision makers. Those people who are considered to be underage which are years 18 below do not really possess the necessary knowledge just yet when it comes to making decisions on their own. They still have to be guided by their parents or guardians because their brains aren't mature enough to make sound judgments needed in taking an action, most especially when it comes to gambling.

2. They still need to ask for their parent's consent. Related to number 1, this will prove that the minors cannot really move on their own just yet because of maturity reasons. They have to ask permission first before they can be allowed to do something or go to something. Since gambling could possess major risks in someone's life, a person who can't consent on their own and has to ask consent on their parents shouldn't be qualified and tolerated to be gambling.

3. They don't earn money just yet. Since they are underage, they definitely are still living in the same roof with their parents. Therefore, they still have no job/s to pay for their own meal or rent, nor even spend for the things they want to like. They are still relying on the allowances being given to them by their parents or guardians. In this case, someone must not use the money allocated for a certain thing which is important just to gamble. Using your parents' hard-earned money in betting is just pure disrespect.

4. They still have no enough concept about how the world works. Minors do not have the enough knowledge about financial management, risk assessment, risk analysis, and so on. They don't know the depth of possible repercussions the moment they engage in gambling. They have the idea of entertainment, fun, and winning money, but they don't have the idea about how to responsibly take care of them.

There are still so many reasons why minors shouldn't really be gambling on their youth. Their teenage years could be their formative years which could have an impact in the way they view life and the way how they will do things. Gambling shouldn't really be honed in those years. Instead of gambling, they should be learning about risk assessment and management, and financial literacy. So when they grew up, if ever they do want to engage in gambling in their adult years, they already have the necessary information which could help them stay in the right path and avoid being addicted in gambling.

Valid point.

Everyone has their own culture and tradition they grew up with and preferred to live up to today. We really have no control over other people's decision about these things because it's still a matter of preference and viewpoint. If it is considered to be legal in your country and the operators you have are operating legally and have proper documents and permits to let them hold such organized events of cock fighting, then do what suits you best. If that's how you get entertainment from, I won't impose my beliefs on you.

But personally, I'd rather play casino games or sports betting rather engaging in gambling betting involving animal cruelty. Although this is just me, since I can't really take violence and cruelty among animals who can grant permission on their end. As long as it isn't prohibited by the government, then we have a little to worry about because if it is legal, then they have the means to regulate it.

I'd rather lose a so-called friend rather than losing my hard earned money. Because if someone really considers you as a true friend of theirs, they will not do anything that will upset you or frustrates you despite knowing it. They will respect your decision and will not cross the boundary to showcase their disrespect. Instead of getting your money and betting it on something else without properly asking your permission, a true friend will ask you if you want advice or not and base from your answer, he will suggest you a better option or choice he knows. But will not really impose his beliefs on you to control or manipulate you.

It should be a common knowledge already to not meddle if it's not your business to begin with. A person must know his limitations in being involved in someone else's lives. Otherwise, trouble will really arise.

This has a point.

If you are already good at sports, even if it's just one sports, then you have a better rate on winning compared to others because you know the game well like an alphabet song. If you will focus on that sports, spend more time in knowing more about it especially on the teams, then you can have greater probability of getting a prize on it. You can bet on that specific sports with your knowledge and luck combined. Then maybe after, you can try risking to other sports that you are not really familiar with, but with reservations of course.

It's always a good option to bet according on your judgement and knowledge, not just instincts because it doesn't work well everytime. You can follow your gut feelings, but it is best if you have something to back it up to avoid losing money over a wild guess.

Way back, this was really rampant in winning the lottery. People were not afraid of showing their faces to the national television because criminal activities and its rate were really low back then. Illegal activities that involve great risk toward someone that were filed were only few. Perhaps the way of living before is still attainable and manageable compared to today wherein people have to resort to doing bad stuff just to survive and put food on their mouths.

Nowadays, you can really see the transition and changes from how they do things. Today, people are more wary of their actions. Most people are becoming self-conscious and are now prioritizing their privacy over anything else because of security reasons and having inner peace. In this modern time, you can barely see a lottery winner publicly announcing they have won. This is because anonymity is becoming more and more preferable. People will hide their identity to spare themselves from being vulnerable to those people who want to take advantage of them. Since money attracts unnecessary attention of the bad guys (robbers, murderers, and the likes) you would rather keep your mouth shut instead of bragging. In addition, to ensure that their winnings will not be recklessly given away to anyone who will borrow from them or ask help from them.

In my experience, people who are making a lot in cryptocurrency are not the type that will talk to people, share their experience, share tips, most of all they are not gonna share their signals, if that includes in what you're looking for. Lucky you if you find genuine and generous people that will guide you in trading without any hesitation or without any money involve as a payment for their goodness.

I think they don't need to buy cryptocurrency or support cryptocurrency just because Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese name. We all have our own choices in life, on where to invest or risk our money. But I believe Japanese government are not that strict when it comes to cryptocurrency, if I'm not mistaken, you could use cryptocurrency to buy products in their country, correct me if I'm wrong though.

I agree.

I thought Bitcoin is gonna hold up in the price of $20,00-$21,000 but it drops even more last week, if I'm not mistaken. Bear marker also gonna surprise us on how low it can get before bull market surprise us on how high it can get next time it will happen. Buying indeed every dip is a good move but don't forget the saying that "don't put all the eggs in one basket" because it might give you a lot of risk and regrets.
