I used to think that it will be very smart to receive salaries in Bitcoin not until I also realized that whether salaries are paid in Bitcoin or not, it's only those that have the capabilities to save, hold and reserve some of their salaries that can only keep some. Some people's salaries are not enough not cover their expenses and such people, even with Bitcoin salary, they will still spend it on their very important needs and wouldn't have anyone to save until they receive another payment, so what's the need?

I was just thinking about this because gambling is all about taking risks, where nothing is guaranteed and we don’t even know if we’ll win. so in a way, gamblers are natural risk-takers, and when someone starts a business, they also need that mindset which is taking calculated risks, making bold decisions, and having the guts to push through uncertainty.

So I’m curious, do we have any successful business owners here who could say that their experience as a gambler somehow helped them succeed in business?

Having a technical skill is vital in trading ngl . But one of the thing that matter the most is one mindset , having the right mindset means having the right approach to trading, given one edge in trading because most traders usually come into trading with the mindset of wanting to speed up things or taken it for get rich schemes and stuff while knowing that trading one does not need to invest only their money but their time also , because one have to take his time to understand how trading works before going into it fully .

A gambler does not become addicted immediately, it all starts when gamblers experience winning in a row. And this is what casinos always do when they know they have new
players entering their casino platform online.

But even though I gamble only once and I have been doing it for several years, I have never felt addicted to gambling, because I have maintained my habit of only gambling when I have money, so maybe that's why until now I am just a normal gambler who does not have any addiction to gambling.

If you want to learn about trading, you have to be directly involved in trading. Now you may be hesitant to get directly involved in trading, but if you get directly involved in trading without reading any books or YouTube, I think you will learn much better. However, I would advise you to use a very small amount of money to get directly involved in trading, meaning that you will not have any regrets if you lose money. You trade with that amount of money and gradually you will see that you have become very experienced in trading. Although some experience is needed at first, you will understand that experience only when you enter the trading platform, otherwise you can watch a little on YouTube and then you will try the rest yourself. It is better not to try to learn from others.

A friend of mine just got into Bitcoin, lucky for him, his successful. Before he started Bitcoin, he was actually into a good business of selling artwork which wasn't so bad. So he got introduced to Bitcoin and had a quick success. It's actually a good and exciting thing to see someone progress fast like that, but he quit selling artworks and other little businesses that kept him going he stopped, he now depends fully on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king no doubt, but From my Point of view I think that depending fully on it might be risky to you financially. I don't recommend anyone to depend solely on Bitcoin or any single asset. Bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly and market volatility might impact your financial stability. It is actually very risky to invest in a single asset. The part that scares me the most is that my friend has put all his resources into this one asset. If am wrong please correct me. Thanks

When I saw this thread, I initially thought about a specific topic but as I opened it I realized that my initial guess was actually quite far from what was actually being discussed. Anyway, what I first thought was the thread was going to be discussing is about the companionship brought to us by gambling.

Yes, we gamble alone especially with the rise of online casinos. There is no longer the need to meet other people and interact with them. But even before, gambling is a social activity. People play poker or mahjong with other people eventually leading to friendships. People meet fellow sports fans when betting in sports.

Despite the benefits of just gambling alone, there is also the beauty of gambling with other people that is undeniable. In this context, do you still prefer gambling alone?
