I agree with this. If you are already a gamer, there will always be a part of you that will manifest the habit and behavior of being a gamer. For an instance, in playing in a casino or gambling website, they will be keen observer and strategist to win the game. Since most gamers are critical thinkers, they might think thoroughly before making a bet and actually playing the game which is good because it minimizes the risks and the probability of losses.

There are gamers that are really flexible and willing to learn. Hence, there are already a lot of people exploring the other side of entertainment which is gambling. Each people have different attitude and behavior and you will encounter almost every different attitude there is in playing. You'll encounter a humble player who is good in playing, and you will encounter those arrogant ones that feel superior to others. They have different set of skills to offer too which they developed over their gaming years. Others aim just to get satisfaction and have a diversion, while others want to make a sideline out of transitioning in gambling on casinos.

It's unfortunate to read that you underwent such situation. Indeed, we have fair shares of mistakes in the past due to being impulsive and lack of enough knowledge about something. Since we experienced it the hard way, we should learn from it to avoid doing the same mistakes again. I'm glad that you were able to acknowledge your shortcomings back then and did something about it to make you a better person today.

Setting limitations is a good thing to take control of your gambling habits. Knowing your boundaries will keep you be at ease because your life won't be ruined by gambling once again since you already established a good distance from it. Knowing when is enough and too much can really matter a lot. If you are in it for entertainment, the more you should make limitations for you to not regret later on. Otherwise, you'll just end up like everyone else who lost their control in their gambling ways that eventually became addicted.

This is no news that there are really individuals who think they are extraordinary and superior to others because of the qualities they have. I have encountered so many people that has that kind of attitude and it reflects on their behavior as well. I believe this kind of mentality can really cost them so much. The complacency and arrogances reeks unfortunate scenarios waiting to happen.

Gambling is not about making a bet and automatically you'll win it. It's a matter of chance. And perhaps their several chances that turned out great really made them believe they are exceptional or they have exceptional skills when in fact they don't, and it's just all in their head. This could put their funds at risk and could really disappoint and make them very anxious big time if they won't acknowledge that gambling is a mix of strategies, game approach, and luck.

Those gamblers who are adventurous will really love to travel and gamble at the same time if they have a spare time. Or to put it much better, these adventurous people really find time and make time just to gamble whenever they visit new places to experience the culture, tradition, and the norms of the spot they are in. I guess this gives them the sense of satisfaction and enjoyment knowing and actually getting to play the usual games and betting of the locals. It's a nice way to make your heart pumping as well and of course, to know new strategies and interact with the people in the community.

Those religious countries such as those largely populated by Muslims aren't really into gambling, that's right. Because they have beliefs and principles to uphold. They are conservative and they follow what's written in their Quran. Hence, you'll seldom see gambling tourist sites in those countries since gambling is a sin according to what they believe in. And we should respect that. There are many places that are liberated and an adventurous gambler would have fun to, such as in Las Vegas, Mexico, Macao, and so on.

Indeed. It is really illegal for minors to do gambling because they aren't on their legal age yet to decide on their own without the guidance of their parents or guardian. A minor needs proper guidance and help from the elders which is why most decisions in this age bracket still needs permission and consultation from their parents before they can actually be allowed to do it. In gambling, there is no exceptions. If you are a minor, then you shouldn't be betting and playing because most casinos, if not all, have it stated in their terms of service that a person must be 18 and above already before proceeding.

Some casinos even ask for KYC verification just to be sure that the person making an account is a real person and is of legal age already. Although this matter has been the center of a lot of debates here in forum since KYC means giving your personal information and therefore, defeats the purpose of anonymity that initially is fine with most casinos back then. KYC could really help alleviate the rise of percentage of youth gambling illegally, However, kids are also becoming more and more clever these days, so some are still able to bypass the security by making fake IDs or using other people's ID. Which means they should also step up their game and think of other ways how to really detect 18yrs old below gambling using various techniques.

But I still believe that it's also more of the parent's responsibility to discipline their child and the child as well to make the right choices if guided right.

Reckless spending is the top main reason why adults are broke, most of them. Even though they have skills and earning a decent salary, they spend it like a king every single day, that's why there's always nothing left on them after a week. It's a must to know the needs and wants, and always prior the needs of course. Without any financial management, people will always struggle if they are spending more than what they can afford.

However, they have this mindset that "you only live once" to make themselves believe that it's worth buying their wants, yes, but not always. Also, emergency fund is important, which has always neglected by so many.

If you don't spend your cryptocurrency in a market situation like this, it is fine, it is still cryptocurrency, I didn't know that not spending it would define cryptocurrency as not a cryptocurrency. Not spending it in a bear market means you have the right knowledge about financial management. I don't see any benefit at all spending it in times like this, so why.

Other people has no other choice maybe but to spend it because they don't have any fiat anymore to buy their needs, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, having 2 or more source of income would be better for you not to spend your valuable cryptocurrency in times like this.

I think for most of the people "it's the right time to doubt Bitcoin" and obviously they will buy when Bitcoin is in its new all time high price again and will complain that why Bitcoin is dumping, then they will trash talk it, so classic. Anyways, this is indeed the right time to buy, if you have the capital to do so, invest it in Bitcoin rather than let it sleep in your bank account for years without gaining anything at all.

For me I'd rather stick to my own personal strategy in trading than to do copy trading in other trading platforms. Yes, copy trading is profitable and you do nothing but copy other's people approach, however, there's no benefit on it aside from making profits, lucky if it's always. What I mean is, personal trading strategy has a lot more room for growth compare to copy trading.

It's okay to failed, no matter how many times it is, you failed because you're trying, and when you're trying it means you could be better, and that's what gonna brings a lot of profit for you in the future, so just keep on grinding.

That's why learning to control your emotions is the top priority list in trading, even in everything you do in your life. Emotion is very tricky, you can be easily manipulated by your own emotions if you don't know how to control it. There's a monk saying that "mind is power" therefore it should be separated on your body, but not literally, lol.

This means that your mind is the master of all the things you'll do, but you must have the power to command it, not the other way around. For example, a bad trade after hours or days of making a good technical analysis could result to a huge frustration and disappointment, your mind will probably tell you to quit or enter a trade without any plan, that's danger right there.

So if you know how to control it, the right thing you'll do is to rest, plan again, and trade again.

I bet you meant exchanges that gives bonuses after you deposit on them. If I'm not mistaken, Binance gives you vouchers in USDT something like that after you deposit a certain amount on them and verified your account, correct me if I'm wrong though. I believe bonuses are the main reason why people want to start trading because of that, it's like an starting extra capital in trading.

Like free satoshis in faucets.

RSI, EMA, and the basics, like candle patterns and resistance and support area. Those are only the basics and easy to understand indicators that you could use. I stick to that since the beginning because it fits me, I understand it so well. Though, it might be a different thing for you, because it's all about trial and error when it comes to indicators.

I tried to use other indicators way back then but it just confused me so I get back to the old ways.

I believe you need more knowledge about Bitcoin, especially how it works for you to avoid unnecessary panic just because it dumped after you bought some. If it's about getting a heart attack because of excitement, you better consult a professional regarding about your health to get the right medicine to avoid further problems.

Here's my tip. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is all about demand and supply, so if you bought a lot of Bitcoin, like whales, its price would increase because of the increase in demand, and if you sold a lot of Bitcoin like whales also do, it will decrease the demand but increase the supply resulting to a price drop.

As far as I know, Twitch won't really ban crypto streamers and rather will ban content streaming that involves slot, roulettes, and dice games which are streaming from unlicensed casino websites to ensure the safety of the community. They also said that they will strictly impose the ban against the referral links and codes which happen to be rampant in Twitch despite it being prohibited in the platform.

Regarding Drake, surely if ever Twitch will ban his account from streaming there, there would be plenty of platforms he can go to such as his own website (if he has any, since almost every popular personality has one) or in YouTube. They can also build discord community or their own streaming community which his followers can transfer to, to show support for their idol. YouTube might probably the fallback of most of the streamers if ever Twitch will ban everyone from streaming gambling (but I believe they won't). However, YouTube is far worse than Twitch IMO, so if ever, it'll just be a temporary haven for them. Twitch has no additional information about their improved terms of service yet, and we'll soon find out if these streamers will remain in Twitch to stream contents from licensed casinos or not.

Educating our children who are at their right age about gambling and finances, in general, is really essential. Personally speaking, I would love to bring awareness to my child about the pros and cons of gambling. I have this perception that it's better to teach them those things that might harm them inside our home instead of them finding about it on their own or from their peers or in internet out of curiosity and exploration. Once your son/daughter have the mental capacity to grasp the knowledge and concept about something, it's good to introduce it to them even little by little.

Giving your kids a simple analogy and explanation about what gambling might do to their lives might change the way how they will view and use it the moment they are on the right age to decide on their own. Imparting them the benefits of gambling once done right as well as the repercussions that come along with it if they do it excessively and beyond their limitations will help shape their principles and beliefs. If the foundation of knowledge about doing something is instilled right in their minds, surely, they won't be lost.

I believe right parenting by guiding your child in decision making and instilling the values in them will help them grow maturely. Although it's proven that peer influence and societal standards also play a role. But the two aforementioned external factor won't really impact them much if they have a strong core value founded in them.

Most people really had that certain point in their lives wherein they thought that something will be their way out of poverty and road to success, but failed in the process of trying to attain it. Most gamblers and even those people who are merely risk-takers already experienced that kind of scenario. It is hard to undergo such because of course, the time, money, and effort you exerted were just put into waste, but that's the reality in risking into something. Sometimes, the odds don't just side in our favor, and that's a hard pill to swallow, but we have to accept it eventually. Learning from the mistakes that we committed unintentionally because of lack of knowledge is what matters. The moment we experienced the hardships, it will make it easier to address the problems that might arise in the future with shifting perspectives and viewpoint.

There are many professions and side hustles which someone can excel to, I agree with that. We just have to find the one that suits us the best. We still have to be careful to avoid trouble and inconveniences despite having many experiences. Earning money is important, but let's not use this thought just to impulsively do things that might bring harm to us instead of good.

Each people have skeletons in their closet in which they don't want other people to know of because of the reason that it can taint their reputation. We all have that certain bad experience or mistake we don't are not ready to share with anyone because of the judgment that we might get from it. Hence, some people believe that there are specific things better left unsaid so that it won't cause trouble/s.

I agree with what you said that livelihood and the status of someone's life depends on his reputation. Of course, if you have good reputation, most people will like you and opportunities will go your way. Majority of the businesses, employers, and people in general do not want to be involved with someone with bad character and tainted reputation because it can damage them as well. When you feel like the boat will sink, you definitely won't board in it.

Gambling has been painted bad in the mainstream media because most of the time, the consequences of it are highlighted. We can't really blame the people by thinking that way. After all, if you know it to yourself that you are a responsible gambler and do not do the things they think of you, then you don't have to be anxious. You are not obliged to prove yourself..

If someone is already a gamer before he enters the gambling world, I believe that it would be much easier for him because he already know the basics of gaming, and therefore he will easily understand the rules and regulations inside the casino or gambling website. The transition will be smoother because he has a knowledge already compared to those other people who don't really have a background to rely on.

Although gambling is different from gaming alone, but you have the grasp of what the gamblers are doing such as using techniques and strategies and of course, knowing that there will be other teams or group of opponents in which you can compete with, in gambling side, it's the house and the other bettors. Perhaps what they will take some time to familiarize are the jargons used by the gamblers, but it'll be easy to remember once they get used to it while learning and playing at the same time.

Gambling isn't an easy way out of poverty. It isn't also a shortcut to become wealthy. Most people have this perception that gambling can be their way to success. It isn't. Gambling has a lot of risks if you want and you are planning for it to become one of your major stream of income. Gambling is a recreational activity that should stimulate relaxation and not stress if you'll only do it right. It can also be your additional source of income if you are good in betting and if you are lucky enough. But I don't really recommend it to be your only way to make money because in gambling, there is no guaranteed winnings. Each time you play against with the house and the odds.

Anyone shouldn't have their hopes up in in playing gambling because it isn't only rainbows and sunshine most especially if you become addicted with it. High expectations could only hurt you. Instead of feeding false positivity, see the reality instead. There are many articles and confessions from true to life experience that gambling could ruin your life if you will let it control you. As much as possible, let's learn from other's mistake and from our past experiences to avoid regretting big time later on.

If this were to happen, I don't think breaking the law would be worth it because surely, if the new government decided to ban it already and declare illegal, then definitely they won't go easy on the violators. Surely, those who will break the law will suffer grave punishment and consequences for their actions. If you value your peace of mind and if you treasure your life and your time with your loved ones, then you shouldn't do anything that is not worth the trouble.

Secretly gambling can do you no good the moment you got caught. All of your winnings and the thrill won't be worth it if you will be fined with big amount or be taken in prison. Using VPN can put you at risk too so it is not really a wise move to use one just to avoid the gambling restrictions.
