You know what. A decade ago or five years or more ago, we don't mind about gambling with our Bitcoins. We didn't know that it's value is going to be as big as it is today. So, I don't think that gambling with it is a trap. The effect that it has given us is more of a regret than a trap. There is no trap if we're not doing anything. And with this, it only means that we're gambling to have fun and as well as to take some profits if possible. Someone who's going to gamble with Bitcoin is also about to win/lose Bitcoin. It will make that gambler happier if he's won with Bitcoins, so there's no trap there and no bias should be applied.

In short, it's still a choice for every gambler whether they will risk their Bitcoin or keep it for themselves and let the value increase normally.

Some gamblers are also investors in Bitcoin. Let's consider them. What some would want is to increase the number of Bitcoins in their portfolio, and if they cannot buy more due to lack of finances, then I believe there's a chance they will think about gambling it. To accumulate more. I have had that kind of perspective before, and I gambled a lot of Bitcoin in the early stages of it because I wanted to hoard more. It's wrong, and yet it feels right if you double the amount of Bitcoin that you have.

Yes, it all sums up to our choices. If we want to enjoy with the bitcoin's that we hold. The advantage now is that we're free to gamble with the holdings that we have and just take a little portion of it. The 1 mBTC before isn't that much but now it is, so as a holder you get to enjoy more of it now without having to sacrifice your entire holdings. Or just do it with the amounts in satoshis as long as it comes with the minimum limit and it's fine to gamble with that amount to not compromise your balance.

The major concern is that there are so many motivations around us at the moment that drives us into gambling both on the forum and outside of the forum. because of those drive, it becomes easy to get oneself into gambling at any slightest opportunity available and unlike before that you can complain of lack of funds for your gambling, the casinos that runs her ad on the forum and pays directly to their betting site also by that means get users into gambling through such platform so easily.

of cause, from the point of view of having fun, you can easily see casinos around to use and with the ease of access to your bitcoin, it doesn't stress too much gambling with your coin but the fact that most bitcoin holders are after means of increasing their accumulation rather than causing it to go down when they lose in their gambling makes bitcoin gambling a trick in a way.

It is within the person, the gambler. If there is so much motivation and it really encourages you to gamble, you better stop looking at them or if you can't. Just always take control of the situation and don't gamble that much. At the end, it's still us who has the power if we'll gamble a lot or not with the btc that we have. If it's not likeable, there's always the alternative to do it.
