It really isn't necessary for us to tell people about our gambling habits or activities even with friends or family. I, too, live along with my parents and I have never told them my gambling activities online but I'm sure they're aware that I'm gambling as I casually visit local casino malls. Its not really about being discriminated by my family or friends but rather it's something that isn't necessary to talk about unless you've hit jackpots.
I think it's not the same situation when it comes to other people because like for example in our country, parents are more responsible for their children and always look for them whenever they are not around, and guess what? they always knew what they were up to and sometimes they found them in the gambling den along with their friends. that's why it depends because you cannot just hide it when you have that kind of parents who always look after you. I remember my friend got beaten badly by his dad after he was found gambling with cards along with the adults in the other village. Having that kind of strict parent will ended up having a child who tends to hide everything to them, I know that they should be responsible but please set a boundary, do not let them interfere in your decisions and privacy. Also, As long as you know what you're doing and you're aware in the consequences of the things that you do, then it's very okay to not let them know that you're into gambling. I mean, i didn't say that you should lie to your parents but set a boundary, not all the things in your life should have know by your parents. |

From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.
This is the problem to some people especially when just a passerby listening to a conversation between two people, being assuming. How come you conclude right away that those people involved are CLOSED to each other and best friends? Since you don't know the real story behind their conversation, it doesn't make sense to judge the winner as that was surely a personal issue. Next time, let's not only look at one side of the coin. The winner was judged quickly on this topic without getting its side. That is what I thought initially when I first saw this topic, by the way. Even if those people are close enough to be considered "best friends", one still would never know the whole context of the story behind someone quitting hanging out with their best friends. For example, let us assume you had a very good night at the casino with your best friends and you happened to hit a jackpot, using your own money, in a blink of an eye now you are worth several hundreds of thousands of Dollars (at the very least). How would you feel if next time you hang out with your friends, they start to treat you differently and expect you to pay for their drinks, their food and their wager to gamble since they know exactly how much you have now in your bank account? Anyone would feel uncomfortable having people around who knows that kind of information about you, even if they are family members. So before judging one side as the bad one of the story, let us put ourselves in the shoe of them. That's how society works nowadays, it's easy for some to judge and to conclude without knowing the real context of the story. We didn't know if they are real "close friends" or not, some may assume that they are included as their close friend wherein fact that person treated you as a colleagues or just a co-gamblers. We can't blame that person if he/she wants to avoid the, maybe there's a deeper reason and sometimes it's better to be left unsaid. |

In a deal, 2 years ago, I asked the seller of a real estate project, if he will accept crypto for plot but he demanded some extra money for this deal. So, I was not able to close the deal but may be in future, I can buy something unique with crypto.
What is the most weird thing you bought with crypto?
In terms of buying weird things with crypto, I haven't tried it yet. Most of the time, I only used it for some important purchases but converted into cash. I'm still hoping too that bitcoin will be used as a mode of payment when it comes to purchasing real-estate. Here in our country, there's some island that accepted bitcoin as a mode of payment for their services offer. |

I think you're confused on how much of a difference gambling and trading be. There's too much difference between the two as trading mostly rely on skills as a trader will need to be keen on details such as having a good TA skills and be observant to the market to gain profit while gambling mostly rely on luck to gain profit. Both do pose risk on your funds but you can manage your loses much better on trading than on gambling.
I think there is no point in discussing this with them anymore. They insist that gambling is not different from trading no matter what we say. It looks like we are running in a circle here, so let it go as it seems this a waste of time and energy. To get back to the main subject, if you want to remain safe when gambling, just gamble to have fun and don't spend on it more than you can afford to lose. This is all you have to do. you have a point, well that's how gamblers supposed to do. Just gamble to entertain their selves and have a self limitation and enough budget for gambling. Also some tips to remain safe in gambling is to balance the gambling with other activities, educate yourself about gambling, never gamble when your upset and lastly expect to win and lose because that's the cycle of gambling. |

Hindi talaga lalo na sa standards ng trabaho dito sa pinas kung maalala mo yung sa Potato Corner na requirements pero minimum wage pa yon ah hahaha. Sabayan pa ng inflation rate halos trinatrabaho mo sakto lang sa pangkain parang nabubuhay ka nalang para mag survive. Pero hindi ibig sabihin non wala na tayong chance makaahon sa ganong sitwasyon, labas lang tayo comfort zone hanap mga iba pang opportunities tas dagdagan ng diskarte panigurado makakakita ka pa ng mas magandang money sources na legal. Kaya nga yung iba nandito sa industriyang ng crypto para humanap ng opportunities eh, laban lang talaga mahirap man ang buhay pero patuloy at patuloy tayong hahanap ng rason para magpatuloy. Yan dapat ang mindset, dapat willing kang lumabas sa comfort zone mo, medyo risky pero kung talagang desidido kang umunlad hahanap ka ng paraan para magtagumpay, hindi ka mag aantay ng swerte kundi gagawa ka ng legal na diskarte para kumita ng pera, natawa ako dun sa potato corner naalala ko nanaman yung hirap makahanap ng trabaho tapos kala mo naman kung papaswelduhin ka ng talagang angkop dun sa hinihingi nilang requirements. Hahahah tama, just go outside the box if you want to grow, madalas kasi sa atin, natatakot sumubok ng ibang bagay, totoo naman na risky pero at least sinubukan, para hindi dadating yung araw na manghihinayang ka sa mga bagay na hindi mo nagawa. actually madami sa atin yung may mga potential to grow pero dahil nakuntento nalang sa kung anong meron sila, hindi na sila nag grow personally and financially. Dapat yung mga company din kasi dito sa pilipinas, ilevel naman nila yung sahod sa qualifications na hinahanap nila, Ang gaganda nga ng job title, pero kung alam niyo lang kung magkano sahod, mapapa facepalm ka nalang. |

To be very honest quitting gambling is really not easy as sometimes some persons end up gambling for life as they find it that difficult quitting, it may require extra help some times to quit totally but if it's temporarily, most persons did quit temporarily and layer come back to it but a abstaining totally will require some extra efforts at times beyond just stopping.
Some persons even have to attend therapy sections to cure them of the addiction of gambling because they find it that difficult although sometimes a strong desire to stop could also help but then it take longer time with so much discipline before such person will finally be free from such addiction but the best way I think is therapy although its expensive but it's the best out there. That way you may most likely not go back to it again if you don't want to, but Paramount decision has to be self control before any of these could effectively work.
That's right, Quitting in a gambling is difficult for some gamblers who are addictive, but for some who play for entertainment purpose only, i think they can quit as soon as they want to stop. I encountered many gamblers who finds quitting in gambling very hard because they invest so much time and money to the point that they consider it in a dual purpose (for entertainment and income). Those gamblers needs medical attention because it may affects their mental and physical wellbeing. The therapy might be expensive but if it's benefit you, then it's worth it. |

expectations that are too high and already have high hopes for gambling will only lead to deep disappointment with gambling and in the end you will only blame yourself for behaving carelessly. We hope it's okay but don't go too far because after all gambling is full of uncertainty. And we also need to remember that gambling will never change anything, including our lives financially. If you ever think that gambling can change someone's life, then we have to look at people. -people who lost everything, wealth, family and jobs just because of irresponsible gambling. And believe me, when we go to a casino with any amount of money, when we go home we will only come home with empty pockets. Gambling is very expensive and very risky to play, so be as careful as possible when playing it. Hoping too much is not good, especially if you hope in gambling to be able for to win because that will be very risky for people who have the ambition to win they will use all their money to double that money we should not just put our hoped gambling in order to be able to win. Achieving profits as expected in gambling is something that is difficult for us to achieve, therefore we must use our money and time wisely to avoid bad things that might harm ourselves. Cases like what you said have happened a lot among the middle and lower classes of society, they hope that gambling can be a step to change someone's life. In my opinion, thinking like that doesn't make sense, we can see many facts of today's life looking at someone who really destroyed by irresponsible gambling That's how greed affects a persons life. I admit that some of us is hoping that once we gamble, it doubles our money. gamblers tends to expect much that's why if their expectation doen't meet, it will trigger to them to continue on playing. Winning in gambling is just a pure luck but some has their strategies to win, if you're greedy, Opportunities will slow down for you and it will leads to your downfall. |

that's why a community was formed that discusses gambling addiction, there they will be accompanied by people who care about them, because the people around them will not necessarily care about them very much. Getting rid of gambling addiction is not an easy thing, so extra effort is needed to help everyone who is addicted to gambling to recover, often gambling addicts come from poor families, so they don't have the money to go to a psychiatrist. therefore, always gamble responsibly, don't let your mind become damaged because of gambling, news like this should be advertised for gambling addicts.
The family member alone care about the gambling addicts,rest of the world will not care about the gambling addict in the world.Because of the gambling addiction the gambler may spoils his health and his carrier.By this the wife or the mother of the gambler will get worry for the gambler.The gambler is just the news for the rest fo the world.They just advice to recover.But they never do the personal involvement to the gambler life.The gambler itself not hear the words of the other people and may consider the family member voice.The gambler can quit the gambling with the self interest and not by other forces. Yes its true, Only your family member have a care to you, they will help you to cope up in your situatuon and also they are the one who understands what you're dealing with. Maybe there's a few friends who can talk you and give you an advice but limited only, Not all your friends can support you, sometimes they are the one who judge you and wish you not to overcome your addiction. For me, It's better to open your concerns and problems to your most trusted person who can really understand you and willing to help you, also Believe in yourself that you will be better. |

So, here's the deal. I've been into crypto gambling, and I've realized that, despite my best intentions, it's a bit tough to control the urge. I've tried the self-exclusion route in the past, but it seems some crypto casinos still find a way to let me back in.
I know I've got an issue, and I've accepted that. Now, my goal is to manage it better and avoid any unnecessary damage to my finances.
I'm curious if any of you have faced a similar situation and if there are tools or methods you've found effective in controlling crypto gambling. It feels like most platforms lack daily limits or deposit controls, making it a bit challenging to stay on track.
Would really appreciate any advice or recommendations from those who've been through something similar.
Well, there's no tool for this concern, Only self-discipline and limitations. You are aware of what you've dealing with, it's better to stick to your goals of managing your finances. One thing to prevent you from gambling is to lessen your screen time since as you have said it's all online or Do some outdoor activities that will help you to distract yourself from gambling. |

That’s really great to hear mate. Educating people about Bitcoins is good and it will really help them to make a better investment plans. But I would suggest not to give them investment advice. Whether it’s Bitcoins or any other asset, never give investment advices. These friends who are praising you, will only make you responsible if there investment goes into losses. So keep yourself limited to educating only. Tell them about the benefits and decentralised nature of the coin. Rest they will figure out, what to do with these amazing coins.
For me, I don't like to discuss anything to my friends because when money involves, I considered it as a confidential matter. just like what you've said, those friends who are praising you will only make you responsible if their investments fail. It's better to introduce it first then let them make their own research and study so they can learn it from their own and to avoid the blame in the end. Not because I don't want to teach them every details, doesn't mean I am being mean and selfish. I don't want to spoon-feed them. |

2017 talaga yung pinaka solid na year for me. Sobrang saya nung mga panahon na yun since dun ko unang nalasap yung sarap ng bull run at ng bounty campaigns dito sa forum. Almost majority ng bounty campaigns na nasalihan ko is pumapaldo talaga. Marami din akong nakilala sa larangan ng crypto before and after that bull market. Solid din naman yung 2021 bull market pero iba talaga yung saya ng 2017. Andami kong firsts na nagawa sa buhay ko, first million, life first experiences and first lessons na I think nag build up saakin para maging ako ngayon. I experienced so many mistakes that time and also bull market 2021 pero I'm sure na hindi ko na ulit gagawin yung mga mali na yun next bull market. I'm claiming to earn 8 digits next bull market! Tamang motivate lang sa sarili!
Same here, 2017 din yung talagang ramdam na ramdam mo ung bull run. Kumikita through bounty campaigns also malakas pa White paper translations kung saan doon Talaga nakaipon ng enough funds na nagamit din ulit sa pag invest and some personal expenses. Marami ding natutunan nung year 2017, all the high and lows. Indeed, that year is the best and most unforgettable year ng mga tao dito sa crypto. Looking forward for the next bull market, claiming for a 7-8 digits too. |

I don't actually choose one of them to be honest. Why? Because traditional business won't work for me I've been there before and nothing happened. Investing in Bitcoin won't work as well since I am having a hard time with it's volatility since I need cash flow for my family's needs. Though I am here investing my time and effort to earn fractions of Bitcoin but yeah if ever I need to invest on something it would be real estate and collectible silver and gold coins.
At least negosyo parin naman na maituturing ang real estate, bagma't hindi lang siya mura, madami ka sigurong ganyan ang sinasabi mo, saka isa pa madami din namang options na pagpipilian sa traditional business malaki o maliit man yan. Saka sure kaba hindi ka nagiinvest ng Bitcoin? parang hindi kapani-paniwala, tapos andito kapa sa cryptocurrency industry. Well, kwento mo yan. Dahil ang pagkakaalam ko lahat ng community dito sa forum ay hangad na makaipon ng Bitcoin kahit papaano. for the real estate especially condo to townhouse, It will become a business if it gives you a profit, one of the best investment is real estate tlga. For me, icoconsider ko Talaga both if traditional business and investing in crypto lalo na if I have enough source of funds as long as kaya nating ihandle. May iilan na hindi swerte sa Negosyo and that's okay, pumili lang tyo ng right venture for us na alam nating makakatulong satin in the future. |

Personally, I don't see anything wrong when an addiction is replaced by another addiction, for example, one that requires less money. If a person instead of replacing an old addiction simply acquires a new one, it is a completely different situation. Instead of one addiction, he gets two. In my opinion, this is where the greatest danger may lie.
One of my friends liked to drink alcohol while gambling, but when he started to smoke marijuana he stopped controlling himself. This led to him not only losing all his money, but also getting into unpleasant situations in the casino.
"Addiction" from the word itself, anything associated with gambling is consider as bad, becauss anything that is too much can be bad, and nothing wrong with replacing the recent addiction to another? T hat's a twisted thinking how could there be no problem in that? There is!!!. Anything should be done with moderation in that way you will control yourself. And from alcohol to marijuana? Sre you kidding marijuana is much worst its like your friend ungraded his addiction into another level. Of course things will be much worse because we know even if he switched into smoking mariajuana he will still drink alcohol and added with gambling in casino its sure that he will have a bad happenings in casino or his life will be much more worst. Associating a vise during casino will be bad its like wasting your money in both gambling and vise which is a really unpleasant situation. I understand your point, well some medical professionals also believed that cross addiction may lead to a range of dangers, well if that's the case, much better to seek professional health rather than DIY assessment. Actually, it seems impossible to a gambling addict to change especially if they don't want to help their selves. To address the real issue of cross addiction, One of the important points to keep in mind is stay connected though therapy, group coaching and professionals. |

What are some good exchanges allowing fixed monthly investment in BItcoin? I need options where my funds will be secure.
Most of the exchange offer almost same low rate on Bitcoin. It’s not really worth it leaving your coins on exchange in exchange for a mere profit which you can easily have by just holding your Bitcoin safely on your non-custodial wallet. Some crypto casino offers much higher interest rate if you invest on their bankroll compared to exchange offers if you really decided to be exposed on risk. You're right, Exchanges offers low rate, also your coins might not really be there. What you see is a promise that if you ask for your bitcoin, they will give it to you. But if the exchange gets hacked or if the CEO fakes his identity and takes the private keys or if the government steps in, all coins could go into their pockets. It's better not to leave your coins in exchange, to eliminate the risk, withdraw your coins now. |

But as many others have pointed out, bitcoin's volatility is still very high, and it can be manipulated, so considering it a safe haven is not entirely correct.
I would not worry so much about whether it meets the traditional definition of a safe haven asset because of volatility, but whether it is a good long-term investment vehicle. Yes, it is very volatile today, although volatility will reduce over time, but if we compare it to gold in terms of returns since bitcoin was launched, there is no comparison. Its volatility risk is one of the major factors determining whether Bitcoin is a good investment. The personal decision to invest in Bitcoin comes down to your appetite for risk and your perspective on the future of humanity. I can consider it as a safe haven asset because it can be converted to cash easily in a bunch of different ways once hitting its all time high value. if history repeats it self, which we have seen multiple times now, Bitcoin tends to reach new all time highs every 4-5 years. |

~ Yes, life is also gambling, but it's not like the games we often play. In the gambling that we often play, there is a problem of losing money and winning money, but we experience more losses and lose money than we get money. And if someone already has a family, he should prioritize his family more than gambling because earning money from his job can fulfill his living needs. That is why if someone wants to gamble, he must be able to avoid gambling addiction because this has become a serious problem for many gamblers so he must really think about this. However, he also has the option not to gamble so he doesn't have to think about his losses and focus on meeting his family's daily needs. Sometimes people who think they avoid it, fail to do so. What's important in a moment like that is not give up. No one should think, oh, I'm addicted gambler now, I can do nothing about it. You can, you always can. You can try to get rid of it by yourself, but if it's impossible, you can seek professional help. It works. ~
~ Stop focusing and allow yourself to quit away by finding things that may allow you to find enjoyment and entertainment. People should know one simple thing: being addicted to gambling will never bring you happiness. Even if you win big, with mindset of an addicted gambler you will not stop until you lose everything while trying to win even more. I agree with you on that statement that being addicted to gambling will never bring you happiness. The negative consequences is often extend beyond the individual. Families can suffer as well, with spouses, children and other loved ones experiencing the emotional and financial fallout of a family member’s gambling addiction. So it's better to manage yourself and if you can't stop having an obsession in gambling, Seek a medical help because they know what is the best for you and they will tell you how you will cope up in that situation. Gambling can be a beneficial experience but just like other activities such as shopping, if done in an irresponsible way without knowing the limit, it can turn into a crippling addiction. |

I don't think that a spiritual assignment or power can make you to win gambling and if it's so I think that gambling nobody would have missed to win in the gambling, because almost every body will go to a spiritual store to buy items and perform rituals before betting of any kind in a different gambling websites, the connection between gambling and spiritual connections is very far, a gambling is something you have knowledge of and it means that you assume that this thing will be in this form and you are not sure of that, so for you win its by luck and some insights you already have on it.
Another thing to note is that most religions do not encourage gambling and some may strictly prohibited gambling and betting, so in that case, no one can use spiritual powers to gain an edge in gambling. In most religions, in order to gain Spirituality, people may pray or worship and ask for divine help from nature, but when something is not allowed in religion, how can anyone ask such a thing from their god? Prayers do make your cause easy but you can only ask god to help you in those things which are not forbidden by religion. So, in my opinion, when you gamble or bet, you are going against Spirituality and maybe that's why we lose more often than we win  But still some gambler still seeking a help to win through their hope, faith and prayers. I know some people think that gambling is an immoral habit because they believe that this is one of the factors why there's so many people become self-loathing and addictive. While some studies have found religious belief to be positively associated with gambling fallacies, others have found it to be a protective factor from gambling harms. Well, this is a complex and broad topic, it's a quite difficult to discuss since we have different beliefs in life. |

their is something that is paramount for Bitcoin investment, it can to my knowledge that health is more of important than any investment, before you invite you have to treat yourself very properly, their is some people who prefer investment first before health. Do you know that when you are not healthy you will not be able to read and understand what you read.
I have being unhealthy for a while but to read and make a research of coin I should invest , but due to health issues I could not make research.
in summary without a good health you will not think out of good project to invest. so without a proper health I don't think Bitcoin investment can be actualize.
Poor health may leads to minimal productivity and results in a improper way of thinking so it's better to invest in your health and prioritize yourself first while working on other things. Having unhealthy body and mind may cause you of having no concentrations on your decisions which has a big impact especially if you're thinking on investments, where money is involved. A healthy body and lifestyle makes you more capable, which leads to less stress and better planning. Take time to focus on your personal health by getting enough sleep, exercise, consult your doctor and get enough nutrition so you can make a sound decisions. |

I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?
Gamblers sink an increasing sum of money into their efforts to win. They becomes less risk averse and more willing to place a bet to get it all back, especially if they feels like the defeat was nearly a win. I think their motivation to continue is their high hopes of winning back their losses, They think that they are so close to winning, that if they just try once more, surely they’ll win this time which is a very dangerous mindset to have. |

Self Exclusion, Block your credit/debit cards, Lock your crypto funds then you won't be able to fund your bets but these things can work only if the user is really trying hard to quit but the person who are highly addicted and needs the medical treatment then these kind of remedies will not be effective at all.
There are numerous free rehab centers and support groups for some low-income individuals which may help since there’s plenty of support and understanding available for them. Also, one thing that I know that consider as an effective solution is the advice from your family and loved ones. If a gambler wants to stop gambling but are having a hard time, I suggest them to consider seeking help from a mental health professional. To avoid a relapse and focus on building coping skills, it’s important to commit to quitting gambling completely. |
