Re: Is Bitcoin Gambling a big opportunity or a big trap?

But as good as these new developments may sound, we have already started witnessing its side effects around increasing financial loss among the young ones since the process has been made easier than ever, growimg number of young gamblers becoming more attached and more addicted to gambling as they could do everything at home and more importantly making it more difficult for proper regulations among government institutions.

The first stage of controlling your young ones not to join gambling comes from you and not from the government. Having a proper upbringing among your kids and also watching how their socialization grows within the neighborhood and school environment is very important. These could further improve their sense of not joining gambling at early stage but see it as a no go area to delve in while growing. Regulations begin from home before government will take over when the issue escalates.

The big question for me now is, do we consider bitcoin gambling sites a big opportunity for the people or a big trap that will leave many young people addicted and financially broke?

Online bitcoin gambling sites are a very big opportunity to the people but only if they use them well. It can only be a big trap if you don’t know how to manage your gambling addiction while embracing this feature it offers. Being financially broke through gambling is from your own way of mismanaging your funds and putting what you can’t afford to lose to bet on games that the outcome is unknown. The advantage is clear but when misused, the disadvantages is been blamed upon which is wrong.

I don’t usually leave a game when I see a good cash out but I trusted my guts and won. Have you had experience where you choose your opinion over logic advice from friends and won or lost let’s hear it.

Following your instincts is better, at least you’ll have yourself to blame if the game doesn’t go in your favour and still have yourself to praise to even your friends when your predictions goes well and your instincts does it great this time. Mocking from friends in such situations is very common, especially if you and your friends share the same feelings and have the same habit to gambling, those times use to be memorable moments for you and your friends throughout and can always use that to reminisce about the past. Don’t fall for your friends choices just because you don’t want to or fear being mocked, your instincts should guide you best.

Re: I'm wealthy and unsuccessful

Then got on to other topics. "So what car do you have?" I told em, I dont have a car. "Fuck it bro, at least did you travel the world?" - Not yet. With 3 questions and 3 answers, I made their whole world view collapse. "Are you even wealthy bro?" Yessiriam. I consider myself wealthy. What makes a man wealthy? Having options. If I'd like, I could buy the house, buy the car or travel the world. I didn't because it's not financially the right decision, at least it wasn't at that moment.

Humans have their different definitions to what being wealthy means, what one may call wealth will have to be something luxurious to the eyes to see and body to feel, but to some, it is far beyond this that one can even imagine and put in the category of being called wealthy. Good health, happiness and daily sustenance is viewed as the biggest wealth one can have and many people believe it to be so. It is good to be free from debt than claiming to have properties to your name, you will one day sell them off to pay those loans. Living a life of contentment it the best.

And I see this everywhere. The four of us in the room all came from the same school. Same age. Same opportunities. Three wheeling in heavy debt, trynna keep it up with side hustles. One with a positive balance who never needs to be a corporate slave again.

That’s better rather being a corporate beggar. Hustling to meet ends meet and to avoid debts is very important. Working yourself to become a better version of yourself despite the many troubles hindering you achieving your long term goals is the best. Things gets better with time, just have a positive and determined mindset towards what you wish to accomplish in this life.

Re: What if Bitcoin block rewards suddenly stopped tomorrow?
by

on 29/08/2025, 21:28:58 UTC
Without mining rewards, would miners keep the network alive with just transaction fees, or would Bitcoin collapse?

Bitcoin will not collapse. Even without miners getting any more rewards for mining a bitcoin, the reward they will get from the transactions fees of processing bitcoin into the blockchain will be enough for them to continue. Bitcoin will be more scarce by that time, and I’m sure the price of it will be far higher than what it is today, so definitely the miners rewards from transaction fees will be sufficient for them to continue mining. The protocol has been designed to be a continuous process, so I don’t see bitcoin mining coming to  an halt if there are not more bitcoins to mine again.

Re: Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

on 28/08/2025, 21:56:28 UTC
Government is supposed to looks into gambling because gambling has ruined some people life, especially those people who doesn't know their limitations in gambling, at least government suppose have limit for them so that some people will learn how to control their emotions on gambling, I believe with such regulations so many persons will not be addicted in the gambling

There's something I notice gambling has done to some people, the harm gambling caused to people can never be heal in next twelve years coming, so with initiating the ideas of gambling in any country that will make some people to their limit..I'm in support of government intervening in gambling limits

Everyone is to be blamed for their actions. The government didn’t make them to be addict, it is from their own self will that generated into this. The government may enact such rules, but how long will it be effective and during that period of effectiveness, how many of them will still be affected to the extent that they reduce that addiction. It is very hard to control people that are already addicted, they’ll always look for a way to satisfy their addiction and when they get another, your own method of stopping them becomes outdated and no longer effective. How I wish addicts could control themselves at their early stages in gambling, there will be reduced repercussions of loss of money from them to casinos, but the reverse is the case and they have to live by that until they find help and also ready to reduce the addiction and become responsible gamblers.

Re: Is online betting safe in India?
by

on 28/08/2025, 21:47:34 UTC
Online betting can be safe, but only if you use licensed and trusted platforms. The key things to check are secure payment methods, fast withdrawals, customer support, and transparency in odds. While laws in India are still evolving, millions of people already use international betting exchanges safely. Always gamble responsibly and stick to platforms that prioritize user protection.

Platforms that prioritize users protection and most reliable to use for gambling. Other features of a good gambling site you’ve mentioned is all true and can easily be seen around in many gambling sites. Users protection can not be easily tracked if the site is actually making sure it’s keeping it safe or noteworthy, but when you cross by one that mean it, it is a good sign of a safe gambling site to deal with also while they are also prioritizing other aforementioned features a good gambling site it suppose to have.

Re: Gambling as a form of Mental Sports
by
Asiska02
on 28/08/2025, 21:36:06 UTC
If someone wants to train their mind, they can still go for other mind games that doesn't actually require them to gambling with real money, some people can feel convinced that gambling can train their mind but once they dive in, it becomes a different story entirely. I don't disagree with you that gambling is a mental sport but in the way you described it, it's result will be different for every individual, it can only be used like that and would prove positive result in some individuals but for many people, you will get an opposite result since they would have a biased thought, not to stretch their mind again but to make money from what ever game it is.

You’ve made a very good point here and if the OP can also view it from your own perspective, he’ll understand that mind games are not better played in gambling spaces but other places where money won’t be involved. As long as that money is involved, you will at a point feel that your mind is stressed out and your mind will actually make you to think about nothing but the money. When it reaches this stage, your focus will make you make many mistakes and from trying to want to correct the mistakes or get back at the market, more mistakes are made and you may find yourself addicted in the end. Different people may observe it differently, but in the long run, an obstruction will come to divert one from the main objective of the whole thing.

Re: The Opportunities and Hidden Risks of P2P Bitcoin Trading
by
Asiska02
on 28/08/2025, 21:19:50 UTC
So what do you think guys how can we balance the opportunities with the risks?  Should the upcoming trader even be enccouraged into P2P trading or focus on other alternatives?

For everything that is worth profiting, there are always risks attached to them. When you want to just look at the risky part of it and not divulge more into the opportunities that comes from it while looking for ways to minimize the risks, you’ll not get to profit from the opportunity and the chase for a risk free opportunity continues forever.

p2p trading has been in existence for a very long time now, and until now, the youths are still trooping in to tap from the opportunities it provides. What causes most of the risks are already known facts that one can easily avoid. Avoiding those red flags will make you risk free even when engaging in p2p with a risky merchant you don’t know and pose to scam you.

About banks freezing of account when fraudulent transactions are being traced to your banks, learn how to filter out the best traders that have engaged in more trades and reach higher percentage of completion time and trust in the exchange p2p services, it’ll help reduce such fraudulent acts. Also, using fintech banks are the best to receiving money in p2p trades, they have more advantages than the commercials banks when you use them.

Re: Want to learn about wallets.

on 28/08/2025, 21:08:59 UTC
But I don't know about wallets. I don't know how to use wallets properly. Which wallet should I use to invest in Bitcoin? And what should I do? Huh I want to know about wallets.
You don’t use a wallet to invest in Bitcoin; you use a wallet to store and safeguardyour Bitcoin, and the best wallet you can use and that’s recommended is an open-source wallet. You can go for electrum wallet, BlueWallet Electrum Wallet or BlueWallet, which are both mobile-friendly wallets and easy to use.
Thank you for sharing this, I am just getting to know about Electrum and blue wallet. I will get those. I focused on bybit and trust wallet.

Trust wallet is not much trusted as an open source wallet, so having your bitcoin investment saved there pose a lot of risk. You can check on Electrum which is kinda not too mobile friendly but an open source with good reputation to save your funds in, available in android and not on IOS devices on mobiles. Blue wallet is more of mobile friendly and I will recommend using it if you don’t have a desktop to download one and save it in.

Bybit is an exchange and pose the highest risk of leaving your funds in, you can only use it to buy bitcoin and send out to your personal wallets. Other uses of the exchange it to trade crypto in if you’re a trader or use to swap from one token to another (as in token convert and p2p services). It is not recommended you leave your funds there for long if you’re not using it for any of the above listed.

Re: Why still plagiarize when there is AI?
by
Asiska02
on 27/08/2025, 22:38:02 UTC
People can use AI to gain insight and ideas on certain topics which they don’t know anything about but it also has its own risks. The more people interact with AI, the more thinking AI will be doing for people. As a result, people will lose their ability to think. In a few years, there will be many people who will be asking AI’s opinion whenever they decide to do something. “Hey I am going to go get a beer from the fridge, is this a good idea? What’s the possibility of me catching a lightning bolt on the way?” You might laugh at this at the moment but it is coming. We are probably one of last generations who do the thinking themselves. Soon AI will takeover that field.

I also bet that one day it will come to this and AI will be used practically for everything we want to do in the world. This questions may sound funny and one cannot fathom that a time like that will come where people will be so lazy to ask AI this basic questions. AI has really got his bad parts but embracing the good part of it is the best for one.

AI as an assistant tool can help get insights on what you don’t understand which is a great use of it. When one don’t have a necessity to use an AI tool, it is very important that one uses their brain sometimes also, in order to keep the brain refreshing and functioning as it should. Our brain becomes very damp when we don’t use them and the continuous use of AI is one of the major cause that can cause that to any individual. Don’t be lazy and keep your brain refreshed always.

Re: Big fall in the Bitcoin market!
by
Asiska02
on 27/08/2025, 22:15:46 UTC
For almost a week now, we have been seeing the Bitcoin market moving downwards, and it is still in a downward trend. I thought maybe Bitcoin would touch $130k this month, but given the current market conditions it is not possible this month. Although in August when Bitcoin price was able to create a new ATH, the market touched $124k+ which is the highest in history.
I can see that the market went to this position a week ago, but since the new ATH was created, the Bitcoin market has been continuously decreasing. There has been volatility in the market, and it is still there, the way the market is going down it seems that there is a possibility of more dumping.
Do you think the market will be dumping for a long time, or the market has fallen for military time?

For every time the market hit a new all time high, it always experience a dump in price. The only difference I see for this one with the past ones after hitting a new all time high is the rapid fall in the market which was not what we were expecting actually to happen so quickly. August they say is not the best months of bitcoin historically, it always experience a dump. Old investors would have got use to this by now and won’t panic by this fall.

At the beginning of the month, when this past historical analysis on bitcoin trend of the month of August was presented, many thought it won’t be like that this month because we experienced another all time high in this same month of August.  To everyone’s surprise, the dump came when we least expected it and took us by shock. It is in the consolidation phase I believe and it will come back to continue the bullish trend hopefully as early as next month.

Should this is be good deterrent to at least minimized gambling in a certain country? Or does it force gamblers to uses illegal means or even travel outside of the country that has this strict law to continue with their gambling?

If a gambler wants to abide by the rules of gambling governing his or her country, they can do that. But when we have a set of gamblers that are already addicted and cannot control their addictions, any rules set for them is always beyond what they can abide by and will look for other means to get their urge for gambling satisfied even if it means them doing it the illegal way. They can still use VPN to access some gambling sites outside of the country if they use casinos that allow the use of VPN. Going extra miles to travel out of the country to satisfy their urge is a big sign of how addicted they are as a gambler. Gamblers like that needs to check and control themselves at this point.

Hi guys, I have something to share with all of you, gambling is a way to get extra funds based on your capability to predict, but Without the right strategy, gambling can be frustrating I've tried turning $20 into $700, it might sound fun until your funds vanishes in less than 10 minutes.

Investing what you can afford to lose in gambling is the best approach not to feel down or emotionally drained when you lose in gambling. The mind wants to get use to not pondering over a thing that you can’t lose and you’ve set it up on a big risk which the chances of getting it out is very minimal. The money here vanished immediately when it doesn’t go in your favour.

Quote
Many gamblers fall victims to this because they lack the strategy to play, they end up frustrated and chasing losses and depositing again and again. We need to adopt Risk management, let's gamble with another mindset stating with a decent amount of funds, aim for smaller wins maybe (10-20%) and walk away happy. Don't let greed eat you up

Sorry to say but it was actually greed that made you wagered such small amount and aiming for a very big win. You will think you’re smart and luck any just shine on you to win that big amount, but one or two games will just fall your hands and make you lose. Maybe if you’d aimed little by little of a profit target, you would have earned more and not fail in just few games which sometimes happens to be the last ones to make you hit the jackpot in that bet.

Re: australia's weird gambling culture

is the failure of casinos has got to do with too much accessibility therefore not generating any more excitement? or is sports betting just the new trend which is where the new generations flock towards to? are you still team casino or team sports betting?

Maybe the system has come too diluted and the people there seeing how concurrently their loss has become has decided to let casino games be and focus more on sports betting. They may also feel that casino games are being rigged more in favour of the owners even when in actual sense they’re suppose to be winning, so ditching them for sports betting will be a way out to continue their addiction in gambling and still feel not cheated. I never knew Australia is such a gambling hub country to have slot machines and poker machines everywhere, I just imagine the number of young gamblers there if at all theses things are not regulated since it’s every where in corners in the country.

I would also feel better just like your friends. The fact that the price I bought them earlier, when compared to how inflation may have affected it, I will still stand on the winning side of it. I won’t feel pressured because I would have made up my mind what my profit targets for the bull season will be, whether taking partial profits or full profits. If I’m able to achieve that so soon, I won’t mind keeping the rest after taking my partial profit target to allow the pressure die down or sell them all to take my profit while waiting for another bearish cycle to invest again .This pressure felt just affects us differently based on how we’ve made up our minds before embarking on the investment.

hi i’m interested in learning more about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies specifically how to trade them

i already know the basic concepts but i want to learn more about technical aspects as well as market analysis

any recs would be appreciated!

As a newbie, trading can be very risky for you, trying out other sectors of cryptocurrency can be better for you and help minimize the risk of loss. Why not try and have a good investment in bitcoin before trying out trading, while having a solid investment in bitcoin and learning about trading would be the best for you.

Although, if you’re bent on learning about trading still, just know that it’s a risky investment and it is not a get rich quick scheme which you’ll expect to be profitable in a short time. Always risk what you can afford to lose when trading and avoid chasing losses also. The journey is not easy but with perseverance, you’ll see progress and reach your ultimate goal one day.

Re: Will the under developed nations come out of its under development?

Development is a good thing to every nation that wants to develop.building of good schools, hospitals, good security network, human capital development, good roads,a better environment to leave and do business, job creation, shunning nepotism, favoritism, free and fair election etc are all ingredients of developed nations . the reverse is the case for under developed countries.So can the under developed countries get it right?

I don’t know what happened several years ago before the developed nations today were able to achieve this development today and called a developed nation. But I still feel some sense of surety that they were once like this before and decided that they want to become a nation to be well respected for its developmental strive all over the world. Under developed nations can also come together to embrace positive change rather than keep putting blames on one another and keeping negative energy within.

If developed nations were once here before and were able to outgrow this state, then underdeveloped nations can do it also. It is just like wanting to invest in bitcoin and you’re always citing the negative aspect of it, procrastinating and delaying the time to start the investment while seeing others that already invested still making good profits. So they just have to make up their mind and fight all negative energy within and outside that is stopping them from growing. Only till then, will their developmental strive begin to show.

As holder, I rarely use my Bitcoin but that doesn’t mean I’m not utilizing its usage since I’m storing its value for future investments.

Holding on to your bitcoin investment is like you already adopting it, and adoption also in synonymous to its usage which then comes about the price increase of it. The price of bitcoin is what is attracting investors to want to invest in the asset, if the price is not encouraging and not rising, we will not see more adoptions from this investors and with time, it will become an obsolete asset. We may not know how our little influence has helped in keeping the price rising, but it’s our enthusiastic belief in it that is making us to hold on to it and help the price maintain a consistent momentum to the upside in the long run.

Starting a gambler kind of life is something different entirely from the normal life we live, because we must have started somewhere small as being a noob before we get to know and be where we are today, I remember those days I will have to safe up to gambling from my little incentives and allowances, while some from gift items and free donations I have received from other people, then use it to gamble in the casino and then spend all to lose and win not a single game.

It must have been a very bad experience for you and you must have also passed through a lot seeing yourself losing and still coming back to save up to gamble. Maybe you were younger and don’t have plenty of responsibilities that will take up your time to not even think of gambling for a while. It is good you never got addicted and was able to control your gambling habit, it would have been another story if the addiction sets in, your finances could have dilapidated by now. We grow to learn and become better from our past experiences, this is how gambling works and if you play by the rules of gambling, you’ll not always see a fault to blame in your gambling journey.

Re: Is it easy to be a responsible player?
by
Asiska02
on 25/08/2025, 23:26:30 UTC
What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?
We can become a responsible gamblers if we don't see gambling as a means of escaping poverty, if we don't chasing our losses, and if we use 2% of our income to gamble so that we can always control our gambling habits. It is difficult for many to become a responsible gamblers because they gamble from monday to sunday and if their favorite leagues didn't have fixtures the day they want to gamble, they wouldn't take a break; they would bet on the available leagues that day just for them to have a bet ticket they would monitor that day, and they would be chasing their losses so that they could get rich from gambling.

Putting in mind that you must become rich through gambling will really destabilize you and make you lose your focus in gambling. You’ll make a lot of mistakes and will also remain at a disadvantage in your gambling journey. Taking a break at gambling is very important and if you continue to make mistakes, your gambling will only end in havoc, this will be like a scenario, from grace to grass once again. It becomes even worse if you’re already an addicted gambler and can’t do without it. 2% of our income spared for gambling may even look like a very big amount for some people to sacrifice, some will go as low as sacrificing only 1% and if they lose those amount, they will only restrict themselves from gambling until they get paid to spare another 1% from their income.
