Thank you for this information OP, this will bring awareness not only for newbies but the rest of the members in the forum. Although this kind of scam might not be new for some here, but majority still aren’t aware about this, so it’s best to keep reminding everyone to stay out of PMs or DMs from an unknown sender.

Scammers will always upgrade their tricks and strategies, and for that we should keep an edge over them. We should be smarter than them, so we won’t end up blaming ourselves because we easily fall on their traps.

Losses are already given when you are trading in an unpredictable market. While this could trigger fears for others, but for few traders this is quite challenging. The challenge to overcome all the risks and maximize trading potentials, but this could only be possible for those who are definitely real traders, while those who are fake and pretentious ones, they do trading only for greed, so expect that their trading career end up short-lived, and completely lose all their future profits.

Re: What is your point of no return?
by
Finestream
on 25/07/2025, 12:52:20 UTC
As the questions says, when do you stop? your point of no return?

a. at least double your money, then stop
b. you only stop when you have lost all your bankroll money and then blame the casino?
c. or you are a superstitions gambler, when you have signs like losing 3 straight in a row, then you quit because you know that you're having a bad luck
d. you stop when you are at least break even

I didn't include chasing your losses as obviously you might to continue.
Well, it is difficult to make any commitment when it comes to gambling. Of course, it comes with some trials and attempts. If I'm going to say that I stopped gambling after winning the jackpot, it doesn't mean I can completely forget gambling anymore. Because, whether we like it or not, it was difficult for a gambler to stop his gambling habit, especially once given the chance to win big.

Assuming I win, maybe the least I could do is to decrease my gambling budget. I believe there is a gradual change, and it can be possible (for me).

Re: What is the cost of your mistakes?

I believe before anyone should Gamble,they should be prepared for any damages it would incur onto them.The effects of this awareness is for them to avoid extremely deepened financial and emotional/mental stress after their mistakes.Every gambler should moderately identify a pattern for gambling and mindfully stick to it
I believe also that before we gamble, we are aware of the consequences it has. Unfortunately, most of us are not prepared and do not assume that it will happen. We tend to ignore reality because what we are thinking is to win only. That is no wonder that most gamblers complain about their losses rather than accept them.

As we live with this kind of thinking, there is no way to make our gambling journey good but rather to be some kind of financial threat.  And we don't just suffer financial crises but also mental health issues.

Re: If you had infinite money, would you still gamble?

Personally, I can't see myself giving two fucks when I don't care for money in first place. Would you?
Not really the option, but I think it is possible. Because in times when you don't have any problem with money, you can simply think of exploring other things. Since gambling can be found everywhere, I may go there. In fact, even this time, when my funds are still limited, I am already gambling. How much more if I have unlimited funds already?

Without denying the fact that more rich people gamble. Sometimes we think that casinos are like a meeting place for friends. If your friends are gamblers too, that can surely influence you as well.

Re: Is DCA Still the Smartest Strategy in This Stage of the Cycle?
by
Finestream
on 24/07/2025, 21:38:12 UTC
DCA is buying bitcoin regularly regardless of its price. You buy when it’s high priced, you buy when it’s low. So you accumulate bitcoin to grow your portfolio. But if you mean to say buying at its deepest price, that is buying at its dips, not a DCA strategy.

For now, I don’t DCA yet since my budget is tight. But maybe in the next couple of days, I will be DCAing again even if it means buying at its peak price, that’s DCA to be exact.

Re: What Does "Being Rich" Even Mean Anymore?
by
Finestream
on 24/07/2025, 21:19:07 UTC
You don’t get rich just by having a lot of money, there’s more to it if you want to be rich in all aspects. Being rich for me is having a good life, financially, emotionally and physically stable and healthy. Not getting stress from bills, and even from having a stable income because you have multiple sources of income that will provide you 24/7.

Lastly, being rich is having a happy family. They say your family is your wealth, so if you have a happy and healthy family, you have a wealth that is incomparable.

Re: When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?
by
Finestream
on 24/07/2025, 13:19:23 UTC


I believe people who gamble on sports may understand this better since sometimes in sports betting some gambler's prefer to go for the smaller odds that usually have a higher winning chance and sometimes they can still end up a losing game however some prefer to go for the big game with big odds and smaller winning chances.


Although betting on the small odds has a higher chance of winning, it still doesn't guarantee winning. It was just the same as betting on the higher odds with a small chance of winning.

We all have to believe that gambling always needs luck to win, no matter what it is. We can't rely on our skills and experience because that won't be enough for us to get a favor.

We all just remember that no matter how long we've been gambling, luck is still what we need to win.

No matter what will be the price achievement of bitcoin, people have always negative things to say, negative comments that would attack bitcoin deeply. But this isn’t something new, this is not just for bitcoin but even in some other aspects, negative people will always remain negative, in all their words, in all their actions.

Let’s just ignore them, that’s the only solution. After all, no one’s benefit in the end but only us, and leave those bitcoin haters regretting while we are overjoyed with profits.

Re: Why are you taking profit on bitcoin?
by
Finestream
on 23/07/2025, 21:21:48 UTC
One shouldn’t need to question why we are taking our profits from bitcoin. In fact, it’s a must to take some profits out from your investment, regardless what investment it is, that way you will be keep motivated to invest more especially if you have benefited already on its first profits. And I don’t believe that we invest for bitcoin to hold it forever, no one’s want to invest and won’t be thinking of reaping the profits once it paid off.

But the key is, take the profits only when it’s really necessary, wherein only bitcoin profits can save you from your current situation. But if you have sufficient amount of fiat on hand, better to just hold your bitcoin and just let its price grow through continuous hodling.

Re: How quickly do you forget a loss
by
Finestream
on 23/07/2025, 12:39:44 UTC
Forgetting gambling is not an easy thing because when you enter the casino website or a casino website you will remember your losses. Though the gambler would forget it but it will take some time likes years.
But everyone has their own ways of forgetting things some are easy while some are not.

It's not really about completely forgetting that you lost a certain amount the previous day, because definitely if you lost $100 today while gambling and you log back into the casino the next day, you will remember the loss you had the previous day, but in this topic, I believe that what OP is insinuating is how quickly do you let go of the pain or heartbreak of facing losses while gambling. If you had lose today, when you start to gamble the next day, will you still have that heartbreaking feeling of the past losses? If no, that means you quickly let go of the pain, to embrace new chance.
It might be erased in our minds, but when we lose again, that still can be remembered. How much more if we lose big? That would certainly become an unforgettable experience.

This is to say that gambling has come with more losses. Asking how to forget all our bad experiences is something that is not going to happen. The more we want to forget, the more it sticks in our minds. To forget those things ONLY happens if we stop gambling.

For some gamblers, gambling might be a nightmare. Some got mental stress and feel it difficult to move on.

Re: How can you enjoy the game when you are losing?

on 22/07/2025, 21:47:25 UTC
Desperation, regrets, etc. All these things are usual things that usually happen, and that is because we always think that every bet we make is a win. We forget that losing is also a part of gambling. It's sad to say that we always assume that gambling makes us rich, but we don't accept the fact that gambling is a win-and-lose situation.

Whatever happens, gambling never makes you happy. Even if you win, it's still impossible because of dissatisfaction. Having greed and chasing never brings a gambler fulfillment, but rather always emptiness.

Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?
by
Finestream
on 22/07/2025, 12:54:06 UTC

2. Bigger paychecks.
Not all rich people are gamblers but they certainly have more chances to gamble if they wanted to. According to data, the higher the income is in some countries the more people gamble in that country. Since the average citizen is earning a lot, even if they spend quite a significant amount of money in gambling this will still not cause financial doom.


This is what I think. More people gamble for the sake of money, not for entertainment and fun. Sometimes we wonder why poor people gamble and spend more money on this stuff despite their situation, because they believe that winning in gambling is a great opportunity for them to change their lives. It means that bigger rewards attract players. That is why we see casinos take their challenge to set bigger jackpot prizes because they know how it influences the mindset of people to gamble.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
by
Finestream
on 21/07/2025, 21:46:36 UTC

As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?
The question here is if you allow yourself to waste the opportunity since you're talking about after a big win? If yes, then you're just nothing.

I have no problem with that anyway. I can support my kid in that case, but that's going to be the last bet he makes.

A responsible gambler doesn't involve their kids in gambling early. There is the right time for them. And we know that winning is not just good but a beginning for addiction. If I allow my kid to continue gambling, it is just the same as pushing him to addiction.

Re: Chances to buy Bitcoin back

I don’t understand why you have to sell your btc just to buy back again btc? Maybe if you sell your altcoins so you can purchase bitcoin, that would be a very smart idea. But selling off your bitcoin so you can buy bitcoin again, not actually a good idea for me. Instead, just do the DCA or wait for a price correction and accumulate more bitcoin to add on your portfolio, that way you will have massive profits with bitcoin in time.

Re: When you're winning you can't sleep
by
Finestream
on 20/07/2025, 21:39:19 UTC
I can agree to it because I experienced it before.

I have 2 reasons before:
1. It's either I can't sleep because I am excited about how to spend my winnings  Grin
2. Or I can't sleep because my winnings are not enough and I am still willing to play more, bet more, and expect to grow those winnings.

Yes, it will be more about imagining what you're going to do next. I can feel it, and I believe that is the thing that happens to most of us. We don't know why, but our minds kept thinking about it until it was done.

That is to agree, saying that winning is not good. It can also be a source of mental stress. While many gamblers win, the more they become addicted to gambling. Yes, that possibly happens because of greed, and such winning experiences drive them to think there is more.

Re: Can AI really predict the outcome of a sports match?
by
Finestream
on 18/07/2025, 12:34:13 UTC
I don't know what some people think is AI, don't we know that AI is a program run by someone and is not something that works with a supernatural power, so I can't be convinced that AI can work as a spirit to predict gambling, for me I can't acknowledge such thing, I can't depends on AI because I know that it will fail me, they are so many people who usesbot to trade but at end they don't make a profit as expected, due to its a programming tools and its disadvantage is higher than the advantages, so such things is what that will happen to gambler who intend to use AI
If a person is thinking about gambling with the help of AI, I think he is still under the wrong idea. If you never have your own experience and good luck while gambling, you will never be able to win by gambling. There are some new gamblers who think that if you gamble with the help of AI, you will be able to win at gambling, but I think their idea is completely wrong.
It can help new gamblers but it is not exactly a tool for them to win. And I think we have to accept the fact that AI is not made to make perfection and paralyze everything. It can be used to predict in gambling, but it won't guarantee winning. It is just like having a wild guess, and we can't rely on it. If some claimed they won from using AI, that is a coincidence, and yes, it happens sometimes. But overall, that won't mean that it is because of AI technology, it is about luck.

Re: Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?
by

on 18/07/2025, 12:01:14 UTC
There is no good because we don't even see the good side of gambling. Why? That's because all things that appear in our mind are meant to make us win and be rich.

But if we think that gambling gives us happiness, that surely becomes satisfying and entertaining. Unfortunately, most gamblers gamble for the sake of money, and all of their losses make them picture what gambling is all about.

If you see a gambler talk negatively about gambling, you will find out that he's in trouble already. And what he/she did was blame the casino for their situation.

Re: “Are you HODLing during this period of Bitcoin price volatility?”
by
Finestream
on 18/07/2025, 07:32:17 UTC
This bitcoin’s volatility even encouraged me more to keep on hodling while continue to DCA if there are extra funds to spend. So regardless if the current price is going to the moon or having a slight correction, I will always stick to my goal, to store bitcoin as a long term investment and just decide to sell when there is a great opportunity to gain life-changing profits.

Price volatility isn’t actually a big issue, that is even an asset for bitcoin that keep people stick with it. But for those who feel fearful instead, obviously they don’t know the real essence of volatility, and they don’t know the reason why until now bitcoin is still making a huge demand.

Re: Is Bitcoin just for the rich?

Not for the "rich" but for the "risk" takers..

Whatever financial situation we’re in, as long as we can afford to take the risk, Bitcoin is for us.

Most people will say, “Only invest what you can afford to lose,” and yes, that’s the standard. But sometimes, if you truly believe in Bitcoin, you might go beyond the standard, just like CZ, who famously sold his house to buy Bitcoin back then.
You’re absolutely right. Bitcoin isn’t just for the rich or even for the poor, but certainly for risk takers, since whoever that plans to enter bitcoin investment should be aware of its associated risk. But we cannot deny the fact that those rich have definitely more potentials to invest, compared to the poor who still doubt whether to risk their hard-earned money or just resort into looking for a cheaper investment.

However, in the long run, whether you are rich or poor does not matter at all, because what matters most is how you can handle the risk that bitcoin has.
