Obviously, there's no way that any person thinks that regular play equates to a regular or consistent win, sometimes it's just losses or better yet it's most of the time. The reason why we think that is because we're too focused on the now and not on the bigger picture which is being able to realize that we're not really winning anything at all unless we experience a really big win.

An hour before going to a casino?
Feeling relaxed, excited, anxious and a little sad at the back of my mind because I know for myself that it's a repeating pattern again and that I'm going to be frustrated after all this gambling is over.

After logging in and pulling out the games you are about to play?
Excited because it should be my time to sort of "relaxed" but we know that's not the whole truth.

While playing?
A switch between elation and anger but it's mostly anger but it's small bursts so if I'm not 100% in the game, I don't notice it myself.

After you experience successive losses?
Angry and frustrated and I always look for someone to blame when it's just myself to blame.

After you won successively?
Definitely feeling great but this feeling is short-lived as I don't really cash out since I don't win big amounts anyway.

After you log out whether you win or lose?
A relief but at the same time wanting more but I need to chill out to make sure I'm not going overboard with my habit.

Akala ko may nahanap ka kabayan hahaha pero okay lang naman at ang ganda ng ideya behind this thread kasi magkakaroon yung Bitcoin community ng Pinas ng parang Pilgrimage na hindi tulad sa ibang mga religious or aesthetic related na pilgrimage kasi mga mundane na mga establishments yung pupuntahan natin. I guess, magpaparticipate sa hunt ng mga stores na ganito.

Kung totoo lang talaga na nagtutulungan tayong lahat pagdating sa pag-improve ng community sa Pinas, matagal na dapat na malaki at malawak ang influence ng bitcoin sa Pinas, ang kaso nga lang ay marami pa din lubog sa kahirapan at walang kaalam alam sa teknolohiya kaya ayun medyo alanganin at mahirap din yang sinasabi mo na mapalawak ang kaalaman kasi ang pagkakaalam ko na hindi ka basta basta mag-oorganize ng information drive ng walang pahintulot ng LGU.

Wala pa din akong nasasagap at wala pa din naseshare tungkol dito, sana nga at makalimutan na nila na gagawin nila 'to kasi nakakatamad talaga maghanap ng bagong CEX na gagamitin para bumili at magbenta ng crypto, ang weird lang din na bakit pa nila tayo pinapakialaman kung wala naman tayong problema sa kanila? Kung ako sa SEC, pagplanuhan nalang nila kung paano itatax yung mga crypto users sa Pinas kesa irestrict kasi wala silang mapapala kapag ganun ginawa nila eh kahit saang anggulo tignan.

That's what "benevolent" people do, they share the wealth to others so we can all get richer doing that.

Hey OP, make sure that you're scam is a bit believable next time so people won't easily call you out and at least try harder to make an account that don't raise any suspicions, it's weird to see newbies that promote businesses that requires big money, we need to see a reputation to back up your stuff but you're too lazy to do that since you're a scammer so good luck.

That's because he probably wants to buy bitcoin at a lower price, probably one of those people that are nostalgic of the time when bitcoin was still manageable to buy with your monthly wages in bulk and he's got the influence to make the market doubt bitcoin so it sways at a way that makes us panic a bit. I'm sure that he knows about bitcoin and he's probably the kind of guy that doesn't show all of his cards until needed. To be honest, I do hope that he's right and that bitcoin will experience some short term turmoil that will make the price go down even lower to get myself a healthy value when I purchase bitcoin.

As @jackg has said, they need to incentivize the use of CBDC and I also would like to add to that the fact that if you create a crisis then make it so that you're making your people narrow their choices to bad for them but good to you and worse for them but the best for you, they'll choose most likely the lesser of all the evil. It's been a year since this topic but it seems that some of the horrors for the Nigerians are still persisting to the point that they have no choice but to succumb to the IMF's manufactured craze for CBDC. Can't believe that they're still justifying the use of this when it's just a stable coin but much worse because there's control from the government involved, the lifting on the ban hopefully creates something new for Nigeria though, they've got the potential to be rich if they just allow crypto to flourish there.

As if this will work, money laundering will only be thwarted if the operation isn't protected by someone on the top brass of a government or an institution so the fact that they're doing this is pretty much useless because there's no way that targeting crypto with their laws is going to stop big amounts of illicit money from being laundered so in my opinion, this is just a show that they're against the interest of the people, that they only care about themselves and they don't like the idea of sharing the money laundering pie.

That's the essence of what they're doing but we all know how this institution is going to be tangled with red tape and bureaucracy that they're probably not going to be able to do anything that can prevent this money laundering operations. I doubt that they'll be doing any sharing of data, aren't EU countries not too trusting of the other members in the union?

In a way, you're correct that in terms of demand, the land and bitcoin are the same, it's both growing everyday and it's the fact that it's not going to go down in prices anytime soon. I totally agree that we can use the current opportunity to invest as much as we can because it's only going to go up in the future despite the talks of volatility and uncertainty in the market prices, bitcoin for the long term could make someone rich if they just invest and trust the process which is the same with land except that land is growing much faster in value every year so you're lucky to have both of them.

Jamie Dimon will never stop yapping about stuff that don't make sense, they're so used to the fact that the Federal Reserve can always just print more banknotes whenever they want that they think that it's the same thing for bitcoin. This reminded me of that one meme, I do remember it and I think that it fits perfectly with the discussion.

That's probably the truth, it's because men are most of the time not that materialistic when it comes to having a living quarters; a room that's got a pillow, futon, and some form of entertainment system would be enough to make a man's life as simple as we want it to be, I wouldn't say that I would be denying myself some form of comfortability, I'd rather be poorly invested in bitcoin but have a really good night sleep and no aching body parts due to poor posture than be fully invested but my joints ache because I tightened my belt even for the most basic stuff like the one that I've mentioned.

And this will be a double kill for OP if he/she provided the necessary identification to verify that OP isn't involve in any kind of money laundering operation, crypto and identity stolen is going to be really scary and frustrating for OP because that means they can use your identity to falsify some stuff and make it look like it's your fault. This is the right thing to do, reporting it to the authorities because it's definitely a big deal that's going to ruin someone, that stolen money isn't that big of a deal anymore when you let this stuff go until you see "yourself" committing frauds in other countries, report this to the authorities OP please, one of the reasons why these scammers aren't apprehended is because there's not a lot of people that are complaining or filing a report about them, it's about time that they somehow feel the playing field being leveled.

What's the currency that OP is using though because if it's USD it's probably more than enough to set up a small fully furnished bar, and there's also the factor that the 2 million that was given to OP by her father is probably enough and that the price of furnishing and buying a place to set up a bar is probably not that costly, there's also the possibility that OP's father's influence might've done some work to smoothen some of the processes to build the bar.

It can definitely change the future of election but not the system of how we do election. Blockchain will only upgrade or elevate what the current voting system but not the system itself, it's a good way to prevent the cheating of the votes and the tampering or the addition of zombie or flying voters to the ballots thus preventing the undeserving and corrupt candidates to have a fighting chance and the vote will be fair and square. Hopefully though, it's not just the machines that we use for voting changes though, I believe that we also need to change the way we vote because in most countries, it's more on the popularity and less on merits that the candidate have, the populist way is a fighting chance for the irresponsible candidates to take on the office and waste the public funds.

Gold's already below bitcoin when it comes to prices so that's a milestone that's been beaten a long time ago. What bitcoin needs to do next is get to the 2nd if not the 1st place of the highest stock price in history, bitcoin if treated like a stock is currently at 3rd place with the 4th place lagging at a really large difference, come one dream bigger than that, bitcoin is the greatest investment in the making in my opinion, I don't know if anyone's called bitcoin that but I believe that it's going to be that when it topples the Berkshire Hathaway stock price in the future.

At first I was bothered but it's all the same, I would only be bothered if I know that the dealer that's changed isn't accommodating, friendly, or the worst one, cheats. You can easily tell them if they're trying to cheat their players, they've got their ways and sometimes they're bad at hiding their intentions. As long as they don't fit in the descriptions that I've said, the change of dealers won't be a bother or a problem to me. I also love when I can troll some of the dealers and they fight back or even quit because they're tired of the trolling.

You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to the power of Ngannou, there's no doubt that he's going to kill everyone that he's punching if he does punch with all of his might. Have you seen the videos where Joe Rogan and Dana White vouched for his strength? That alone should be enough to make you believe that Ngannou will demolish Joshua in this fight, the derail part of that isn't the reason for the loss, it's the corrupt boxing federation that's creating this problem, the deserving don't win and the favorite gets the favors of the judges and Ngannou's no hype job, he can deliver what people are telling others about him.

Here's one of the times that Rogan talked about Ngannou's punching power
Here's the one where Dana talks about the punching power of Ngannou

You're right, no one here can help OP with the plight that he's got, no matter how much caring or empathetic we are in real life, sending our thoughts and prayers to OP for his depression and addiction isn't going to magically do him any good, and the only thing that we can do is to listen and not criticize this person, venting about frustrations online can help OP even just a little so a message to OP, if you're reading this, you can always vent out what you want to say here on the forum, it's completely anonymous as long as no revealing details or such is included in your post and follow the advice of the other members, for you to take action and seek help, that includes help from family and loved ones and a professional one.
