I agree in principle with your write up here. The two biggest or most successful investments I've ever made in my life were doing exactly just that, "following the trend in which the world is evolving". For me I saw bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a new age money that aimed to fix much of what was wrong with fiat money/banking. Also semiconductors which are used to connect the world, a world that's more connected than ever. This is a good strategy for investing.
Due to technology the world is transforming and we have no choice than to follow the directions it is heading to, if one resist one might just miss everything. Their is a need one must bow to the way things are being down because the trending things are in charge and will work for the present things. Old trend don't really work well if their are new trend existing. Well, we have no choice but to follow it because we will be the only ones left in the end. The world has changed so much because of technology and this technology is helping people so much to earn money. There are many ways to earn money online you just need to learn how. As Innovation is continuesly rising today, we need to get along with it in order for us to become more productive and efficient. Top of the line work nowadays majority is online works and businesses like dropshipping, Virtual assistants job and many more by the help of the internet. As you've said, there are many ways to earn money via online, but not all are qualified to do that, there are still people who really wants to work by the use of manpower, besides being in front of our computer or mobile devices is really destructive and not healthy to our physical and mental health. |

Well, in my point of view, investment choice is still part of the investment plan. Investment plan is not as simple as how much money we want to invest, it's also include how we enter the market, how do we diversify our portfolio, and also the choice of our investment assets. Investment plan is enough if the investment plan is complete and comprehensive
In investing, what a trader/investor must fix first is the investment plan, mindset and knowledge. because these three things are interrelated without an investment plan and do not work as they should, the wrong mindset will also be a problem in the future as well as knowledge. So it is true that if we invest intelligently, we must explore it completely and thoroughly. Always stick to this. Remember, there are risks to everything, and the risks are big. So, you need enough knowledge to dive into the world of crypto. Exactly mate. It is too important to have better plans and enough knowledge to have better results as well. We have to make something like a trial and error and we might make mistakes for how many times but the experiences and the lessons we got is priceless. I think we have to prepare for that risk we have to take when we are ready enough to jump into the investment we study and plan to try. Good plans are good but careful execution is even better, while both, no matter how good they are, might still not guarantee the success of anyone. However, this would have added to the experience, and experience they say is the best teacher. It is better to try and fail than not to try at all, and when one tries something, such should know that it is a risk he is taking and it can be either successful or fail. But if it fails, that is not the end of it but a reason to find the fault and make the right corrections so that it will not repeat itself. This is why I say everything is a lesson and even life is a journey, there are some things you will invest all your hopes and energy in but they will fail, yet that thing might be what will liberate you with time if you do not give up. But still, one must ensure that they are doing it rightly because doing it wrongly over and over again will always yield failed results. What you've said is true, The best way to learn and to gain more knowledge and strategies is by the help of your own experiences. the mistakes that happened in your life will help you a lot so that you can improve yourself and enhance your own abilities. Don't look at that failure as a defeat, but think of it as a reward or challenge given in your life so that you can persevere even more in the paths you will follow, and even the rich people in the business and investment industry experienced a severe fall in life but where are they now? they used the bad things that happened to them as inspiration in life and now all the decisions they made paid off even though it was difficult at the beginning. |

Yep there are times that it's due to under pressure that people resort to gambling. This is evident in poor individuals who have no jobs and are trying to make money because there is the need to. I have my experience in doing so when I was trying to rebuild my motorbike and I need some cash and I need money to buy parts.
This is just my own example but what if a renter of an apartment will be evicted if he can't pay tomorrow? This is going to be a huge gamble for him.
Yup, due to pressure, people can't decide well about what they are doing and sometimes it's not a win win situation for them, It also can be lead to a major problem. As per your own example, that's a perfect scenario for a person who's willing to risk their money in gambling without thinking and considering the things that may affect with their actions. |

The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.
Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?
Maybe because they can't accept to themselves that they are the one who ruined their lives. It is true that we ourselves are in charge of our lives and will do something to fix it, so we really have a choice as to what our destiny will be, But look, when he wins gambling, he almost worships and give thanks endlessly. that's the normal act of a person, looking for someone to blame for the wrong actions or decisions they made |

Greetings everyone and happy new year all!
Okay, today I was actually out for a little business and it happens that I almost spent all my time wasted without me even having a smooth deal, but along the line I have few games that I have placed a bet and was wanting to view my games from my phone since gambling is now mobile, what I meant by mobile is that you can access your account at any place provided that you have an internet connectivity you will login to monitor your matches.
So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?
On a lighter note, I just smile and asked him if there is anything wrong while gambling or while monitoring my games and he said nothing but just that few people he knew that are gambling almost turned useless.
This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?
Let's discuss amicably
Public critisism is okay, but I don't care if some people has a say about what I am doing, there is nothing they can do and I am not aggrieved by them. I don't even ask them for any amount for gambling, so I don't care what they will say or think. People will quickly judge and insulted you just because they knew that you're into gambling, that's how low they look at people who participated in any gambling activity. |

I haven't spent much on this holiday. The financial situation isn't good and my earning isn't enough to spend on gambling. At times my mind think about borrowing money and gamble. I'm keeping myself under control and hoping for better gambling days soon when my financial situation gets better.
You need to resist the desire to gamble if you do not have the money, by this time most of the expenses we all had to make are over so we will have some time to recover, and once you do you can begin to gamble again if you want, so take this as a test, if you can avoid gambling even when you want it then you will know you have a very good control over yourself and this hobby, but if you cannot do it then this should probably be a sign that you should try to become more disciplined from now on and gamble even less than in the recent past That's right! borrowing money just to gamble is not adviseable especially now that you're having financial crisis situation, you need to think practical things and having a debt for gambling should not in the list. Come to think of it, maybe that's one way to reduce your time in gambling and focus on having a higher and stable income. I agree that this can be also a test to yourself if you can overcome the temptation of gambling. |

What exactly should be the motive of someone gambling?
A lot of persons may have different opinions. However, in my opinion the right motive of gambling should actually be to win and have fun. Sometimes people fail to gain the right motive when indulging in gambling activities therefore making them in most cases lose consecutively. Many a time gambling losses are as a result of the player staking emotionally or trying to act greedy or something. And these can affect their chances of winning potentially and negatively sometimes.
Gambling in my opinion is supposed to be a form of fun .but it seems more like it isn't this days since a lot of persons are actually having zero fun and actually caring about wins only.
Sometimes physical gambling activities can even lead to violence making a lot of people talking online gambling as a safer and more fun option. Besides digital games tend to be sometimes more interesting than regular physical ones.
We have the same thoughts and upon observation, that's true that the essence of gambling is really missing, that it should give pleasure and fun at least, But in the case of what I see, what is currently happening is far from what it used to be, especially majority of gamblers only focused on winning. Physical gambling activities is not that safe today because like what you've said, it can lead to violence to every people and worst is possible it will leads to crime. Since there's a lot of circulating news in social media nowadays about crimes in a gambling house because of misunderstanding, debt and being mentally unstable, some gamblers prefer to use online gambling apps and websites as they think it is much safer and convenient to them. |

Remember that lottery has its purpose especially since that one is run by state, proceeds will be use for the development of the country, so buying a lottery is a way of supporting that mission. Don't expect much, just play for fun ,if you are lucky you will, but it buying more doesn't change your luck.
Actually, we don't have to buy more lottery tickets because it depends on our ability and the money we have. After all, everything comes back to luck, right? People who have a few tickets can even win the lottery, so why should they buy lots of lottery tickets just because it is run by the state? who get taxes from that lottery, but unfortunately in my country it doesn't support gambling and lotteries because it is considered illegal. Many tickets do not necessarily have many chances because basically games like this only rely on luck without any skills as long as you have enough money, buying a few lottery tickets is more than enough, I once heard a story about my friend winning the lottery and he only had a few tickets there, proving that lots of tickets not much chance of winning either. It depends to a perspective and status of a person, if they have a means to buy a lot of lottery ticket then it will not be an issue and as a matter of fact, many people are doing that in our country especially those who really loves buying lotto tickets, as in everyday they bought tickets and betting in the same numbers. But for me, even that I have the means to buy many tickets, I choose not to, because it's not practical for me and I believe that if luck is really for me, even if I only bet on one ticket, I will win. I don't need to spend a lot and expect to win. |

Have you ever noticed a promotion that was meant to exist for testing a service, but if utilized smartly could lead to real winnings? I have a recent example of this. Very recently the local lottery monopoly in my country wanted to promote their app and gave 10€ to buy lottery tickets to anyone that would use the app. The only requirement to cash out according to the promotion would be to buy some tickets, and any potential winnings would be yours to keep. As you know, lotteries have very low winning odds, so probably they expected no one to win anything out of the promo balances they handed out. But seems like they forgot something... Their mistake was that aside of just allowing this promo money to be used at lotteries, they also allowed it to be used on keno. The gambling store version of keno has a high house edge of ~30%, but still with low risk keno tickets those playing smart would have a 60% chance of getting back all the promo money as a withdrawable balance or even winning more. Upon noticing this I told my friends and family to also create accounts and many of them got more out even than the promo balance. Most of my family have never gambled but free money is too good to skip in any case. So we're now all waiting for the next promo, if there will ever be any.  Have you had any such experience where you managed to play in a smart way to actually be able to cash out money intended for promotion? I Haven't experience participating in that kind of gambling promotion but based on your explanation, It makes me think of joining in that kind of primotion offer, because in that way it's possible that you can make money by promoting and you'll earn other money when you win. When you have good content for promotion, you can encourage even more other people, which shows the effectivity of the way you promote the gambling and that's a triple win win situation if ever happens. |

-snip May mga physical player ba dito ng Bingo plus? BTW slot version yung Bingo na nalaro dati dito. Not sure kung ganito pa dn pero sobrang hirap manalo ng malaki tapos ang bilis matalo. Hindi ko alam kong Bingo plus na yun noon, pero one time ay nakapag laro ako ng Bingo sa mall, at time na yun ay may event sa casino na yun at classic bingo lang nilaro namin. Ito ba yung bingo na gamit yung physical cards tapos susulatan lng ng sign pen then bili lang ulit ng panibago? Pagkakaalala ko ay nakakita ako nito noon sa Sta Lucia Mall(Cainta Rizal). Matagal na ako na hindi nakakapasyal sa mall na yun pero mukhang hindi na buhay yung bingo hub na yun dahil sa dami ng kumpetensya. Pero sulit dn maglaro dun dahil aircon tapos feel na feel mo yung game dahil puro mga tanders dnlayer dun.  May mga iilan padin na physical bingo hub sa loob ng mall at saka sikat padin naman ang nakagawiang binggo sa mga bawat baranggay, madalas syang gawing palaro kapag may fiesta or other occassion. Last time, may naencounter din kaming nga agent ng bingo sa SM mall, nag bibigay ng free game basta mag register lang daw, madami naman ang tumanggap nung free gamr, mostly mga elders age range 40+ |

Ang daming di ako pamilyar sa listahan pero meron naman akong hardware wallet. At okay na okay naman ako sa Ledger kahit na may issue yung tungkol sa recover. Di ko naman yun gagamitin dahil ang mahalaga lang naman diyan ay para makapagtransfer galing sa ledger wallet ng asset ay dapat iverify muna sa mismong hardware wallet bago matransfer sa iba.
Parehas tayo mate, Hindi din ako familiar sa ibang nga nabanggit na wallet, though wala akong ledger wallet na ginagamit sa ngayon, Mas secured din naman talaga ang hardware wallet pero mas convenient to use ang software wallet kaya siguro mas marami ang gumagamit nito and hindi lahat kayang mag purchase ng hardwallet lalo na doon sa mga baguhan lamang. Anyways, sobrang helpful nitong mga impormasyon na naibahagi satin ngayong unang araw ng taon. |

Without:
Charity, begging, illegal, stocks, trading.
I would rephrase the question a bit. At least in my language, there is a huge difference between wages and income. So, I would recommend not to ask how to EARN, because this is a process where someone pays you, but to raise the question - how to start creating income. This is when YOUR ACTIONS start generating income. In this case, you depend only on yourself, and you can control the flow of income. And you will not depend on your employer or his greed. Although having your own income does not negate having a contract job. I agree on you. Earning an income is always the basic, but creating an income requires knowledge and skills. If you have that, you can easily find ways to earn an income even without relying on your employer to provide you an sustainable source of income. With limitless knowledge, that gives you advantage as to where to look for an income, and with skills that you have developed, that will help you make your own income through having your own passion in your job. - Usually, there is only a loss if the borrowed money is not used correctly. And here it enters the eyes of others that the borrower is bad because he did not use it correctly. There are others who have good intentions in their minds to use the loan to build or start a business, but when it comes to reality, it is not carried out according to the original plan. So if you're this type of person, it's better not to worry if something like this bothers you. If you are going to borrow, you must have a source of income that you can use to pay the money you will borrow. So that neither you nor we will have a hard time in the end. I agree with you, if you don't use the money you borrowed in the right way, it's better not to borrow because the money might just go to waste. It is better for you to imprint in your mind that it's better to borrow money as long as it is used in something that will help you to have another source of income in your life just like building a business, In that way it will help you to pay back the money you borrowed. Today, it would be better if we have a wise thinking and decision making in life especially when it comes to Financial matters because it is difficult to find another way to earn money. |

The key to make money in healthcare is don't cure your patient too fast, make them back to you and spend more money to follow other steps. Since a pharmacist not allowed to diagnose the patient, you need to make a personal agreement with the doctor who work as private medical practice in your pharmacy.
This sounds like an evil, but that's a way to make more money in healthcare if your goal is for business.
if only money is on your mind, this is a correct suggestion, but many people may be fooled and rely on it. Imagine you are in the situation of people buying medicine to cure someone, how would you feel, knowing that the medicines you are buying is not reliable and doesn't even cure even small health problems? Yup, it sounds evil because it shows no sympathy to other people, and I don't think it will be feasible since even those pharmacist rely in drugs and medicines. this is indeed evil plan tbh, you can get rich doing this underhanded method but lets be real here, any normal pharmacist would have conscience about this, they will get money but they also gonna feel mentally exhausted thinking they've done wrong to the people that trusted except those sociopath. regardless why not just try to find a job in big pharmaceutical company then you can earn about $130k if you are lucky enough to be accepted that honestly already good enough for a start and then with that much of money you can open a side business that helps you grow your capital and then make your generational wealth dreams come true. after all, thats more feasible than just doing some evil deeds. most pharmacists just fill scripts of whatever medicine the doctor prescribes. so a evil pharmacist has little control over that.. .. well they can atleast sell off-label variations of the named medicine for a premium above the branded medicine as for doing shady crap like selling baby formula powder as a replacement for painkiller pills.. that would end up getting the pharmacist in prison when caught Exactly! If they do things like this, they will ended up in jail and and it is even possible to revoke their license in their profession especially if it can be proven that the medicines they will sell in the market have been replaced by a formula that is lower than the generic brand but overpriced. At this time, money is really more dominant because every action needs money but let's not get to the point where we do things that are inhumane just to earn a lot of money. |

This is for lotto bettors :Lotto is so popular here in our country that there's a lotto outlet on just about every corner of cities and towns in our country just the other day there was a long line of bettors because the Lotto 6/55 jackpot skyrocketed to P571,554,916.40 or $10,206,337 after no winners for a long time. I don't usually bet on 6/55 Lottery only 6/42 and 6/45 because the probability is just too high on 6/55 but I have to take chances because of the huge jackpot, every bettor's chances are equal so from not usually betting 6/55 I am betting now and will continue betting until the jackpot is hit, and so from buying two tickets I'm buying 10 tickets now to increase my chances the ticket cost 20 pesos here or $0.36. How about you as a Lotto bettor do you buy more tickets when the prize skyrocketed and how many more tickets are you adding PCSO: No winner for P574-M Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot We're on the same country, mate! That's true, the jackpot prize is really high and many fellow filipinos are eager to hit the jackpot but I for your question, I will not spend a lot and purchase a lot of winning tickets just to have a chance to win because of the number of people who bet on the lottery, we can't even say if the numbers we chosen will come out. maybe I will bet only one or up to 5 tickets and will not go beyond that but still I'm one of those million who's hoping to hit the jackpot prize. |

After a lot of crawling and scratches on the gambling front, the only remaining principle here is to step back when interacting and be humble when facing, it is a fact that the bravery that people recognize here every day is that a good gambler is one who takes the initiative and does not let his emotions go. But despite these reminders and even deeper notes, the bond with gambling is still tighter while the bravest person respects the truth and respect their abilities and stay out of this tough game
Your opinion is absolutely correct, that if someone has been gambling for a long time, he should immediately stop and leave that place, because if he continues he will experience bad things. Agree with you, that good gamblers are those who can make decisions wisely and can control their emotions well. And it's also good for gamblers who are able to appreciate or respect every decision they have to make, so that in the future they don't experience difficult and bad things for themselves later. Additional to your opinion, Even if a person gamble for a long time, I won't advice to leave the place right away because he needs to have an adjustment especially that he used to gamble in that place. A good gamblers understand which games to play and which to avoid. A good gambler wouldn't look to get rich quick overnight letting greed go to their head, unless its with chunk change, but instead would diversify their risks over time, so that if they lose they don't lose big. |

I don't play for a really long time so I must say that I don't feel too much exhaustion but I do feel happy most of the time even if I lose money. I was once irritated whenever I end my sessions but then I got to the point that I ask why I'm mad when I put myself in this position and I don't enjoy the game when I do this so I started learning to be happy no matter what happens when I gamble.
If we can really limit our gambling activities and not use a lot of money in gambling, we will not experience negative feelings because we know we are gambling using the money we can afford. We will stop gambling when it is almost time so that we don't gamble too much. Yes, we have all been upset because we have experienced defeat, but as long as we can learn from that experience, we will be able to understand that we have made a mistake so we have to change it. By continuing to learn to enjoy gambling games, we can do so that we won't experience depression or stress if we lose. After all, it is a defeat we can afford so we can accept it well. There is still plenty of time to enjoy gambling games so we don't need to gamble for too long and just spend our free time. Yup, it's true, but no matter how much we want to, we can't really say or avoid what we shouldn't do when it comes to gambling, there are many things that are hard to explain that even the gambler himself doesn't know what he feels. even if they want to follow the advice from other people, they can't do it and they have a hard time controlling themselves. They are aware that they may be becoming addicted to gambling, it's just that we only have our own timeline for how long it will take us to overcome the addiction. |

Yes, a gambler will be engrossed in his own world without paying attention to what is happening around him. Maybe he also wouldn't know anything about his surroundings because he was more focused on what he was doing. But they may have also taken out loans and borrowed money to gamble, so that's what makes them focus on gambling. If they take out a loan, they will try to make money from gambling and focus on winning more so they can repay the loan as soon as possible. Yes, the results of gambling cannot be predicted and we can only keep trying to gamble, but this must be done with limits so that we don't experience serious problems later. Many people have lost self-control and boundaries while gambling so they only experience serious problems and are confused about how to solve them. Borrowing money to gamble is not recommended and anyone who gambles with borrowed money will have series of real problems before them. They borrow money and have to pay it back, of course they will also try to make win for certain amount of profit that can be used to pay the loan, but they forget that the sure guarantee in gambling is not victory but defeat. When they lose and have to pay back loan, all they do is borrow again from other people to cover the previous loan and this will continue to happen until they are really in debt and unable to pay it. Apart from that, he has also become gambling addict because the excessive activity he does in gambling has become habit that cannot be left behind. Isn't this very worrying because more and more people are experiencing problems from gambling and they will always have problems that never stop. That's one of my top list that I set for myself, I will never gamble with the money I owed to others or I won't gamble until I have extra money because I have seen or met many different people who experienced bad things in life because they were made to gamble using other people's money. for me, it is one of the things that should not be done to avoid the destruction of life, being in debt is a big damage especially if you don't have the ability to pay after gambling that's why I don't think play and pay later casino will be a norm in gambling world as we know that there's no guarantee of winning in doing gambling. |

Gambling has been a part of our lives if you are an active gambler, and as this year is about to end, I would like to know your New Year's resolution.
Please share it with us here, and please don't make your new years resolution like you will not gamble again, that's against the rule of a gambler.
Also, I like to greet you all, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Being a responsible gambler is indeed a quite difficult to maintain because of possible greed and overwhelming things may happen, but this coming 2024 I promise to myself that I will continue the things that I used to do to become a responsible gambler and promise to myself that even things will become difficulr to handle, I will still choose to become a responsible and be one of the respectful gambler out there. Always choose to stay kind and do not deceive other gamblers. |

I have been told by many Israel supporters that these kind of Boycott is useless and has no effect at all, to the company or to Israel, but turns out it make some impact. Moreover, who will be sued for doing the BDS, it is a decentralized collective movement, no one is paying for those people to stop or boycotting any product, most of them aren't even encouraging/discouraging people to do the BDS, people are just stating that they are boycotting some products. That will be a very tough case to be brought into court.
Indeed, this will be a very tough case. Even if many people in israel thinks that boycotting is useless because they can't see some improvements but for other people, we can see a little differences and impact of doing it. You're right that there's no one paying those people in doing boycotting some products. This is an initiative of the people to fight their grievances with what is happening in the country, they just show that they are not okay with the idea that McDonald's supports the war issue. |
