In our country, it is prohibited to be involved in any operations related to gambling if you are a government official. This is to avoid the reputation of public officials to be tainted as well as to avoid being caught having dirty money. Gambling connections and participations whether legal or illegal, the responsibility is on the hands of the politicians to stay away from it as much as possible so that there won't be conflict of interest in any point of view.

If a country is known to have a corrupt government and system, the more it is essential to prohibit the involvement since as you said, bribery and other illegal activities that could stem from gambling might be done, but since they have the upper hand, they will get away with it unscathed.

I've tried wearing one and trust me, no one even cares about the Bitcoin logo, no one asked me what's logo is it, or anything that poked their interest, or let's say somebody will asked what is it, the you'll say Bitcoin, and the first idea that will come up to their mind is "scam" because of scammers using bitcoin that has been reported in television so many times already.

If we really want Bitcoin awareness in a positive way, I think the Government has the only power to that in the majority of places.

Self-employed is different from being an unemployed. Unemployed means you don't really have a source of income, even though you'll say you have savings to spend in trading, that will not be suffice since there's no guarantee of making profits as a beginner, more chances of losing I might say. So it is really important to have a source of income before engaging to trading, whether it's futures or spot.

I agree with all of what you've said.

But it'll be all ruined in just one mistake, and that is when your emotions didn't agree on what you want to do. For me, emotional management is the first thing a trader should master first before proceeding in the world of trading, because it's hard to make a decision when your emotions are taking over always, that would surely mess up every single trade you're going to make.

Maybe OP is being discourage to make a transaction to spend his Bitcoin on something he needs or wants because of high transaction fee. I don't see any problem with that since it's his decision whether to spend his Bitcoin hodlings or not in any kind of situation. Maybe he is just being practical about his money, especially if his Bitcoin holding is his only funds where he use in buying foods, paying bills, paying rents, etc.

Not all of them are interested to be honest.

Youth is more interested in spending, partying, having fun, and all easy go lucky stuff, that's why it is important to teach them financial freedom while they are young. So, instead of doing the stuff I've mentioned, they will instead be busy on how to save their money to invest in Bitcoin, they are gonna flood you questions regarding about cryptocurrency and that's good.

However, you will also have to guide them, because they might get greedy in a bad way that they could end up losing all of their bitcoin.

It's because of two things for me (1) keep it a secret as much as possible to your family, because there's a high chance they will milk some money from you or even worst. (2) Keep it a secret from your social media friends, because you don't really know them all personally, you don't know who's gonna plan something bad just to get your cryptocurrency investment.

You don't really have to brag what you have just to be famous in whatever situation, or just because your friends are flexing their achievements in social media. Let them do theirs, and just do your thing as always.

That's because news creates more FUDs, and the indicators only follows. News plays a huge part when it comes to pump and dump of the market, that's why when trading, it is important to know the latest news about the major cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, because when it dumps or pumps, most of the time, altcoins always follow.

I live in a province so the COVID-19 was not that bad here. The food is not a problem, since we have a garden that has fruits and veggies, we even have chickens. The very important lesson I learned way back covid-19 was to save money as much as possible just in case of emergency. Eat healthy foods, exercise, and have a healthy lifestyle.

It's been a long journey but we all successfully passed that problem, thanks to God. Let's just hope there's no pandemic coming next anymore.

Borrowing is very common here in our country, especially when it is our relatives. Letting them borrow money is easy but it is hard when you're asking them to return the money they borrowed from you, that's why I don't lend money to people anymore even if they are my friends or even relatives. Lending them money will just make them more irresponsible when it comes to financial thing.

They will pay you using money that they borrowed from someone else, and it will just keep on looping, a never ending cycle of borrowed money.

For online casinos, it is really important to make effective advertisements to promote the website. It is the fuel for them to be known and discovered by other gamblers. It is crucial especially to those newly established and are just arising websites because they have to be known in order for players to deposit and play so they could profit and continue operating in the long run. If the advertisements are not effective in gathering clients, casinos should step up their game to make it more appealing and more encouraging and this applies to both online and offline casinos. After all, who would want to try something that has a lousy advertisement that won't even leave a good taste to you.

It's really a wrong move to put your emotions the moment you start gambling. Emotions usually cloud our judgment and our decision making skills. Hence, it's best to put and let your brain take over you rather than following your heart's irrational desire to bet on your favorite team or player over the most substantial bet. But just take it as a lesson learned for you so that you won't make the same mistake again. It's okay to test the waters and just follow what's best the next time around for your advantage. At least now, you knew that it will cost you if you will be foolish in deciding.

I don't think that if a casino is decentralized, the games they contain are also considered decentralized as well. I guess it's just the platform itself. Although I'm not quite sure, this is just based on my understanding and corrections are welcome. Regarding the casino managing or regulates their own slot machines, it's a no-no for me because it is much better if this odds will be handled by other parties to ensure that the odds are fair and not rigged. Even if other parties are involved in regulating the slot the casinos will not really be at the disadvantage because they still get to decide the rtp. But of course, they are not to decide the whole algorithm because if ever, it's possible to tweak it to the losing side of the players everytime which is unfair to the gamblers.

If you are playing slots which is a luck based game and a no-brainerand you always win, I think it's fair to say that you are lucky and it's your cup of tea because of the charm you have. Though it really depends whether you want to be humble or proud.

When it comes to sportsbetting as far as I know, casinos aren't really the one to decide the odds of winning. Unlike their other games in the platform which they can control the rtp in this way, it's the sole odds coming from the other source will be the basis of the players to win or lose. In this way, they also profit as well because the odds given to them will be the reference of the players who will make a bet.

Regardless of what kind of sports you are betting into, always make sure that you have enough knowledge about it so that your chances of winning will be higher. If you will impulsively bet on whatever team there is, then expect an unpleasant result because when it comes to sports, every factual information is crucial.

It's really hard to establish self-control the moment you already fell into addiction.

In the very beginning, it is important to discipline yourself and make healthy boundaries between you and your gambling habits so that you will avoid the dangers that come with having a bad gambling ways just to satisfy yourself. Being responsible is every player's duty whenever they are gambling. It is essential to know your limitations so that you won't have a hard time in stopping yourself from gambling more and quitting it if it gets too overwhelming and uncontrollable for your own benefit. Personally, I know that I will easily get hooked up if I play. Hence, I do my best to limit myself from engaging to prevent unnecessary troubles.

It will still depend on you on how you will put up with your convictions and principles prior to building your gambling habits. It could make you happy and thankful you started gambling or the other way around depending on how you will utilize gambling to your advantage.

This is right.

Sometimes, people do not really care about reading the TOS first before agreeing because they find it too long to read. It may appear as a hassle to some, but it is really important to read the policies before depositing in a casino website and even in other platforms in general. This is where the issues start. The laziness of the people and their nonchalantly attitude of being complacent makes them unaware of the things that are important and relevant. Hence, when an inconvenience happen, all they do is to already rant and complain instead of trying to fix the situation first or analyzing where they went wrong.

Regarding fake reviews, these kind of feedback really do exists. Some are form of shilling and paid advertisement from the casino itself disguised as feedback to encourage more players to try their site. You need to be vigilant to spot which is unbiased and biased review. That's why you must do a research to know whether what they say about the site is accurate or not.

Professional help is really needed by gambling addicts because intervention of professionals can greatly help them recover from their bad gambling habits since it is composed of different treatments customized for the patient's need such as the counselling, the medications, and the process of treatment itself. There's no shortcut in treating addiction. If one really like to abandon his old gambling ways, one must be willing to undergo the whole process because otherwise, relapse will happen and you'll end up in circles instead of getting healed.

Support from loved ones is essential when a person is undergoing rehabilitation. However, if a person is unwilling to change and is unwilling to let go gambling despite its negative effects to himself, friends, relatives, and loved ones in general are entitled to their right to leave and cut ties before it even becomes toxic and unbearable on their end. Be reminded that as a player, yourself is your responsibility. You are not a responsibility of other people, let alone to support you, even the harmful gambling habits you developed.

I agree with this.

You can definitely make a passive income from trading especially if you already established your portfolio and if you are really that good in market analysis. Trading requires effort, time, and of course money. It is a risk very much different from gambling because gambling is mainly for entertainment and bonus if you can generate profit. While trading is intended to profit and earn money. Taking advantage of the market volatility, knowing when to buy, sell, and cutloss.

Leaving your job because you can make trading as your everyday means of survival is possible. As a matter of fact, I knew some who did this and has a very stable and financial independent life nowadays. But if you will do it because of gambling, think twice, even ten times because gambling is different. It's mostly based on luck and it couldn't possibly be sustainable for the long run.

It's normal if people will bet in the specific sports they are knowledgeable of. Having enough knowledge on the sports gives you an edge over other bettors from winning. If you have relevant and updated information needed to predict the course of the game progression, then you have a higher probability of making a calculated prediction of the game outcome. Especially if you know the strengths and weaknesses of the team players and the team itself, it will be a less challenging analysis on your end. But of course, analyzing the situation should still be done with caution since no matter how confident and sure you are on the capabilities of your choice, sometimes fate has other plans.

Some like to bet on ball games because they know so much about it and they have fun watching it. So I guess it's really to each his own. Sometimes people also have this some sort of belief that pushes us to do something because of the charm or luck aside from being well-informed.

I like your point of view here.

While it is really possible to earn a hundred dollar using your 2000 dollars fund, it's also possible to lose it instead of gaining more. The harsh reality in gambling is nothing is guaranteed despite how high the odds are. It's possible you will make the most out of your money, but it's also possible to lose it at once while trying to earn profit. Hence, it is really advisable that you only bet what you can afford to lose so that you won't regret and blame yourself later on

There's a high risk in betting and playing using big amount, but there might be a high reward that might come afterwards. That's why you must calculate and analyze whether if it's worth to try or not instead of impulsively trying. And from there, decide whether you will still pursue or not. Weighing the pros and cons is essential.
