I think it depends on how you deal with it, bitcoin is a good investment for long term many people still don't earn on holding it because of the patience issue, they will not holding it tight in terms of trouble or bear season, but i believe that if you have a very big patience you can get a lot of profit in BTC i dont think that it can make you an independent but i am sure there is a profit on it.

I usually have to save money to spend a little because getting it in one day is uncertain, sometimes it can be a lot, sometimes the expenses are even more. as someone with an irregular salary because of investment and trading I decided to minimize expenses so that in some time I can reduce expenses so that I can balance when my income is not like the usual day.

There are really a lot of natural resources there, but the government is not taking action, and there are also a lot of corrupt people there that only think of themselves and not the country alone. Also, also Africa has low support from other countries, which means low investors, so the government can't earn money to start processing things there and not selling them as raw materials as it can gain more profit from it.

The title is seriously dumb as hell frankly speaking. Who isn't aware of the fact that gambling is a choice? Everything is literally a choice in life. Op should have renamed the title to something more interesting.

Also, the incident that he mentioned isn't something new. Such stuff always happens here and there in the gambling world which is why gamblers should always invest only what they are willing to lose.

However, the majority don't follow this rule and end up regretting it later on.

So far, it can be said that the government has completely failed to stop or control the bitcoin network. But they still have many ways to make it difficult for us to use bitcoin without their permission. Honestly, we will never escape their control, they will have a lot of ways to manage us. Bitcoin can only give us partial freedom, it cannot bring us complete freedom as many people are still dreaming of.

Many years ago, my country completely banned bitcoin, using bitcoin was very difficult even many people were arrested and fined when found using bitcoin. It can be said that with such use of evasion, it cannot be called freedom.

I subscribe to this school of thought in a way that if we mean education to mean formal education to have influence in financial literacy and management of funds, I would argue on that because education is education and apart from academic purposes, the best form of education is the informal and by extension semi formal education because that is were the family acculturate all the necessary form of knowledge and wisdom to its member. Intelligence being a part of family inheritance and brilliance is perhaps an academic exercise. However I would agree that there is a relation to education to the learning of financial literacy where it involves cryptocurrency because there are different compartment of cryptocurrency that you actually need to read and write, have a little above basic education to understand it technology, blockchain etc. Most people and youths that are finding it difficult to understand bitcoin and the basic means of usage which is send and receive of coins are mainly people of less education.

Based on his post he has knowledge of these threads and information about what's going wrong with imgur images as he has already mentioned about @TryNinja script to convert the images to other site but what he specially talking about is that can anyone replace all those links with new platforms BBcode so the images on the threads are visible again.

But the users have to shift the alternate links to make their post images visible and don't use Imgur anymore when we have forum based image hosting platform so use it for betterment and staying away from these third party softwares.

I also think 10 business days is incredibly long. It would mean like two weeks when you add weekends. Insane. Whenever I experience my deposit not going through in 1 business day I get anxious. I can't imagine waiting for straight 14 days. I also think there may be mistake from user side by deposit going through. Sometimes fiat money deposits can differ a lot. Sometimes crypto deposit may stuck if you don't know what you were doing etc. User should be aware.

Ang nakakapagtaka lang is bakit binalik ni Gcash if fault naman pala ng mga user?
Sana mas maging mahigpit pa ang Gcas when it comes to withdrawals and transfer, dapat laging may OTP regardless of its amount, and dapat lahat recorded. Marami ang gumagamit ng gcash for gambling, hinde naman lahat affected.

Oo, kasagsagan ng kaadikan sa dice at parang wala naman kasing value ang dogecoin nun. Kaya kahit matalo tapos autobet/autoroll/autodice okay lang. Ang dami mo na palang naipon at isa ka sa mga nauna sa bansa natin. Hindi naman din natin inaasahan na ganito kalaki at kalayo mararating ng market na ito kaya kung may konting naipon pa, alam na ang galawan. Tama ka na patience lang talaga ang kailangan, bukod sa capital na pera at investment natin, isa rin yan sa puhunan na kailangan ng bawat isa. Mukhang karamihan sa atin na marami raming doge na hinold dati, nadale lang din ng sugal.

Soon enough, that will happen. I don't think that fiat will remain as it is in the future because considering the annual increase of inflations, it will open the eyes of the people who took a blind eye because of their trust towards government and for others as well who don't know yet the reality that they are facing as using fiats has been their life for decades already. As of now, everything is still on the process and cryptocurrency is not yet that known in the whole globe, but time will come that it will be used by many.

Maybe but I doubt that the latter will happen as crypto, and fiats are different and have their own utility.

Most people experience that expenditure is greater than expenses, this is because many people cannot adjust expenditure, they cannot hold back to buy things that are not yet reached so that sometimes they are in debt, from now we have to stop the bad habits so that they do not owe anymore in the future and expenses can be in accordance with income.

If we choose to live in an environment of gamblers then don't expect to be able to stop addiction, my friend once exiled himself living in a village without the internet and he really succeeded in getting rid of his gambling addiction, it's really difficult to get rid of gambling addiction but if there is intention then everything will be lost,

But still, as gamblers, always take care of portion and refrain from gambling because when we are used to looking for pleasure in gambling because basically it starts from being happy, it will also end in curiosity, namely curiosity which is the beginning of addiction. 

But I think it's not without risk to hold your bitcoins on exchanges and consider yourself the owner.It is just like you keep your capital with someone else and take it from him at the time of need. But there is no guarantee when someone else will take your money and run away,Because your capital is only yours when it is in your possession.

The example of FTX exchange is infront of us where many investers have lost their capital recently.Exchanges only give you access to your bitcoins and give you only one password, While your bitcoin remains in the possession of the exchange .So according to my opinion it is better that you keep Bitcoin in your personal wallet.

Well, a gambler needs to be educated and willing to learn these realities, if he or she wants to become a responsible gamblers.

What I have experienced that most of the gamblers lack in discipline and they are motivated by their emotions and gut feelings that they are in gambling not only to make money but rather they will change their fortune by gambling.

It's really sad to see that gamblers are not really willing to learn from thier mistakes and even big losses will not set them off. Too much expectations will never lead to success in gambling.
