Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

Most newbies don’t always have proper knowledge about bitcoin investment before they go into it. When bitcoin price is dropping, there is no way you can stop newbies from panicking, they will definitely be scared, even if you explain to them that they should keep on holding, and bitcoin price is going to bounce back, most of them won’t listen, some of them will end up selling, but with time they will understand how things work. Similar thing happened to me when I started investing in bitcoin, but with time I got to know how things work.

The issue of newbies always being in a rush to invest without having the basic knowldge of Bitcoin seems to happen over and over again because they get into Bitcoin with the mentality of getting rich quick rather than giving trust to what they are buying into. They are curious to see result not curious to learn and what to do to see positive result. What they fail to understand is that, investing in bitcoin is just about putting your money and watching the price on a daily basis, whether it increases or decreases. Its more about understand the fundamentals and principle to what makes it different from other asset worth investing.
Basic knowledge is important for newbies that wants to get into Bitcoin investment, it's essential to understand that it is a volatile asset that can dump and pump without any notice. Bitcoin is not a shitcoin so it's safe for a newbie to get into the investment without learning everything there is to know because they're in the right place. They can be buying and hodl then gradually increase their knowledge about how Bitcoin works, most importantly they should know that it has the potentials to rally after every dip and always reach ATH.

It's not necessary to always check where current price stands at everyday, it can be a distraction since you're not planning to sell on the short term. It's best to adopt DCA method and buy from your discretionary funds when the percentage of your income drops into it every week or month.

Re: Should gambling ads be normalized?

Too much of everything is bad, when something loses it's taste it becomes annoying, I don't mind gambling adverts during games but if it becomes too frequent it will be a distraction to the game. I understand that gambling sites pay for these adverts so their brands should be seen but moderation is important. Also the more frequently that gambling adverts are shown will be attracting the underaged and people who are desperate to make money to gamble. I don't know how easy it will be to limit the number of times that gambling ads should pop up during matches because it is a business deal, unless if government intervenes.

Every investors have their own strategy for buying Bitcoin on the long term, what works for Mr. A might not work for Mr. B. Michael Saylor, has his strategy to accumulate and hodl, he has the money to sustain it and he's not complaining. The best strategy to accumulate Bitcoin on the long term is DCA method, no matter your income so far you have a functional discretionary fund you can continue buying. My strategy of buying is DCA and it's very convenient for me, I cannot afford lump sums and I don't have to copy any money bag to buy like them.

Re: gambling and divorce

Money matter can lead to separation everywhere including the family and gambling is money matter so it can surely lead to divorce. If a person is gambling irresponsibly and it's affecting the family's financial responsibilities this will cause problems in the home which can lead to divorce. A family person that gambles responsibly shouldn't have any financial problems in their home because of gambling. My wife knows that I gamble sometimes and I have assured her that I only use very small amounts for it so it doesn't affect our relationship.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

Continuing to save has definitely been a good thing. I'm actually waiting to buy more if it falls below $110,000. I love bears Cheesy
Bears have always been beneficial to me. I'm not in a hurry at all. I understand that long waits can test one's patience, but aside from all the worry and stress, these corrections are very beneficial for Bitcoin's rise.
These corrections remind me that Bitcoin needs to continue to perform better in the future.
I'm not sure that you're on DCA method of accumulation, if you were and you understand how it works I don't think that you will be waiting for Bitcoin to dip more before you buy. Effective Bitcoin investors don't wait for a perfect price before they buy because they understand that Bitcoin is a volatile asset. While waiting for price to sink lower it can begin to rally so how long can you wait for it to dip again before you buy? What should matter is that Bitcoin always recovers after every dip and will hit new ATH sooner or later. If you're on DCA dip should be an opportunity to up your funds to accumulate more Bitcoin if your discretionary funds have the capacity.

Re: African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON's Championship.

The Super Eagles has always been like this. There is never a time when they did perform to impress Nigerians not even goals or match that is worth celebrating about them.  Always poor outing and funds are being spent on them without anything to show for.
This tournament was for home based African players, so this was not the "main" Super Eagles as we all know it. I also disagree with you that the Super Eagles never impress in tournaments, that is completely wrong, we have always been a competitive team in African football and even finished as runner-up in the last African Cup of Nations.

That said, i understand that we have had our own fair share of heartbreaks from the Super Eagles, but i still think it is unfair to describe them the way you just did.
Even if this tournament is for home based African players, the super eagles should have played well like the other African home based teams, and they should have at least qualified for the next round of this tournament, but the super eagles performance wasn't impressive and they were eliminated in the group stage of this tournament. Despite the super eagles finished as runner-up in the last African Cup of Nations, i wasn't impressed with their performance because they struggled to qualify for the final and they couldn't beat Ivory Coast in the final.
The home based super eagles didn't perform to expectation, we expected them to proof to us that they are worthy to be called up when the complete team wants to play. This will put to rest the agitation by some analysts that home based players should be given more chance to play in the super eagles, clearly the foreign based are preferable. Let us not forget that other national teams in Africa, also fielded their home based players so it's quite unfortunate that the super eagles home based is not a team to be reckoned with in Africa. Let us hope that they can get their acts together before the next tournament and make us proud.

Re: Bitcoin versus real money

Saying Bitcoin versus real money makes it sound like Bitcoin is fake money, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and that makes it to be real money in digital form. Bitcoin is quite different from traditional currencies which are controlled by central banks, nobody controls it because it is decentralized, that is a very big difference. The value of Bitcoin cannot be compared to that of any fiat, Bitcoin has gone way more than what any top currencies can dream of reaching that is why it is a store of value. Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation that is why it is best to convert money for long term keep into Bitcoin because it's value will always reach ATH on long term.

Re: Is gambling inspiring people to work harder?

on 26/08/2025, 05:35:02 UTC
If someone is working harder mainly to fund their gambling then I have to respect their decision because it's their money. Maybe because I'm not in that category but it doesn't make sense to me that I have to be working harder to make more money because of gambling. I don't see gambling as an investment that it has to motivate me to work harder, I work harder because of my financial responsibilities which are quite much compared to my income. I cannot focus to work harder to fund gambling that I can lose the money to, I rather use small amounts to thrill myself in it.

Re: Right or Wrong Way :How did you start your gambling journey and how is it going?
by
Kelward
on 25/08/2025, 15:50:07 UTC

Wrong way: You started to gamble because you are attracted to significant wins, and you think you can come out with a good method

How about you? How did you start, and how’s it going so far?
From your analysis I'll say that I started gambling the wrong way, didn't know how old I was but I was quite young and I was desperate to win a football in a scratch and win. I used all the money that I had on me that was meant for something else to gamble, after scratching with all of it I didn't win the football. I detested gambling after that experience but when I became an adult I decided to give it a try again and I've been responsible so far. I think that my early experience helped to shape my view about gambling that it's not a get rich quick scheme, just try your luck with small amounts that you can afford to loose.

it is also better to choose DCA strategy, because if someone buys Bitcoin with a lump sum, then later if the price of Bitcoin decreases a little, he may regret it, so DCA strategy should be chosen to buy at an average price.

I think the idea of lump summing is basically dependent on the level of income of the individual or investor. And yes, If you have the income to lump sum I don’t think the idea is wrong to accumulate bitcoin and hodl. The DCA strategy is good, and so is lump sum. The idea is to buy and hodl for a long term goal and sometimes you feel like to buy in bulk and keep rather then buying little by little on weekly or monthly basis due to the fear that if the money gets to remain with you, you might use it for other things that are not really worth it so it’s better you use that money to lump sum and hold. Getting emotional about the market is most common among traders, weather they are DCAing or lump summing.
I don't think that DCA method is better than lump sum, they are different strategies for accumulating Bitcoin. If you are on monthly or weekly salary then DCA method is best for you because your income is more or less fixed, you can conveniently remove allocation for buying Bitcoin from your discretionary funds. If you're a contractor who receives payment when a job is done, if you receives an inheritance or any large amount your best option is to buy Bitcoin in lump sum.

No need to share a huge amount that is received once into bits because it is not salary that you receives on specific dates or time. Whether it's DCA method of accumulation when you receive salary or buying in lump sum when huge amount drops on you what matters is the mindset of long term hodl. So the goal of the two accumulation strategies are the same, buy and hodl for the long term, don't sell prematurely on the short term.

Re: Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?
by
Kelward
on 25/08/2025, 11:23:59 UTC
It's said about brain that, "use it or lose it" — now, question being, do you think if person plays brainless gambling games such as slots, dice for major part of his/her daily routine, will it make him/her dull?

Edit: "brainless" as in playing gambling games that does not require using brain, I thought it was clear especially given examples.
I wouldn't call any gambling games brainless because money is involved, even if it's games like slot that totally depends on luck to win. A gambler that is playing casino games with their money surely wants to test their luck and to receive reward or winnings if it favors them. I don't even think that it's necessary to apply too much brain work in gambling because after all your supposed perfect strategy and analysis you can still lose your bet. The thing is that people should not see gambling as a job, enjoy yourself with amount that you can afford to loose, no need to stress your brain so much because of gambling.

Re: Why Bitcoin won’t reach the full 21 million supply ?
by
Kelward
on 25/08/2025, 10:17:33 UTC
I estimate only around 19M coins will be accessible even when all coins have been mine. We can assume that the satoshi allocation is lost forever.
I think it will be more than 19m that will be in circulation even while excluding Satoshi but I wouldn't assume it is lost forever, anything can happen, we are not the owner of the seed phrase neither are we in his/their mind.

While these said bitcoins tagged as being lost/dormant for too long, some of them are just not being access by the owners still waiting for a time when they may decide to move it, we saw things like happened this year. Also, some lost coins will also be found while a few will still lost theirs but as the value continue to increase the rate of losing bitcoins will be lower and the rate of even finding lost ones will increase well enough. It will become treasure hunt on the internet and the most valuable treasure will more likely be bitcoin.
Na true you talk we no fit to accurately say Satoshi stash and other wallets dem wey don dey dormant for a very long time say dem be lost Bitcoin. Dat theory na just speculation im be, so far we no get proof say di owners don lose dem seed phrase, dem fit to surprise di world by moving di Bitcoin. As e be sef treasure hunters fit to channel dem focus to untouched massive Bitcoin stash for many years and e go be finders keepers for dem.

As for di 21 million Bitcoin I de sure dem go mine everything because e don de fixed so di only ones wey go miss na di ones wey don become donations for Blockchain.

Re: Do you have gambling friends or you prefer to be alone.

Kelward
on 25/08/2025, 06:59:58 UTC
Yes we sometimes share information and betting strategies but that's about it, because the decision making process ultimately comes down to personal preference. Perhaps because gambling is best suited for solitude, I don't think it matters much whether you share your strategy with friends or not. Based on my experience when placing bets, that information is often ignored opting instead to rely on instinct.
I have gambling friends whom I share information with, I'm in a platform where we as friends share gambling tips among other things. Sharing and comparing tips is fun and we are not obligated to accept what is unanimously agreed, everybody has to decide what they want to bet on. Gambling is not like serious mathematics or serious decision making that lives can depend on so me and my gambling friends can casually discuss about our bets nothing serious. I agree that it's fun to discuss about sports and bets it makes friends with such common interest to bond.

It's fun to have gambling friends especially in sports bet, there's a lot to talk and banter about, if you're in a place and start to discuss sports, people who have interest in the sport will naturally bond with you. You can do casino games alone because most of them are luck based like slot but in sports bet that requires analysis it's more fun if you have friends to discuss with. Most sports fans are now gamblers so it's quite easy to discuss sports and bet at the same time. Sports lovers and gamblers have TV in their homes but they prefer to go to bars and event centers to watch so that they can interact with friends and other sports lovers and bettors.

~~~
Those who want to hold Bitcoin for the long term never look at the price. They always look at how quickly they can enrich their Bitcoin portfolio. Because they always think that the price of Bitcoin today may not be the same tomorrow. They never calculate daily profit/loss, weekly profit/loss or monthly profit/loss in this way. Their goal is long-term.
I think it is wrong to say that  long term holders are always looking for ways to quickly enrich there portfolio. It is mostly those with short term motive , that is those that wants to make quick profit that thinks they can be able to enrich there portfolio within a short time and  then cash out or start taking profit from there investment.

There's no need to rush in enriching your Bitcoin portfolio if you're on a long term investment, you can do it gradually and watch it grow over the years. I quite agree with the summary of Proty, except for the word "rush" in his post, rush can make you desperate to buy more than your capability.

There's no need to calculate the fluctuations of Bitcoin value on the short term, it's a distraction. DCA method is headed in one direction and that is continuously buying as long as you have a functional discretionary funds.

Investors who are in a rush to buy cannot sustain DCA strategy, when they rush and buy before their income or profit drops it can affect their budget for other needs. If they must sell prematurely to raise money for the important needs it means that they've deviated from the DCA method.

Re: Is it easy to be a responsible player?
by
Kelward
on 24/08/2025, 10:55:22 UTC
I think its not hard to be a responsible player, but its hard to build «past» to be prepared to be responsible. From my vision, a person who has enough money, knows lots of ways how to earn them (not only in theory), have stable income, can gamble responsibly and greed will never lure him to dark side. Its not easy to become such a person, but if someone managed to become like it, he wont have problems with gambling.
People should choose to be responsible in their lifestyles and finance, that is when they can be responsible gamblers. It is not quite feasible to learn being responsible because of gambling, it has to be a lifestyle that affects every areas of life especially in finance. The important aspect about responsible gambling is not to gamble to become rich because that can lead to chasing loses which will eventually lead to addiction. Even when you're lucky and gets rich through gambling if you're not disciplined and responsible you'll lose everything back to the casino.

The major reason why the economy is bad is because of bad governance, if the leaders are corrupt it will affect the economy in a g negative way. So the economy is not really bad because of the poor they're the effect of bad governance and if the leaders continue to be corrupt and negligent the poor will continue to be poorer. There are poor people everywhere even in developed countries but they don't suffer like the poor in underdeveloped countries. There will always be the poor because everybody can not be rich but when the leaders of a country fails in their duties to protect the rights of the poor the economy will be worse off.

Re: What do gamblers have in common?

.
From the topic of your post I will say that what every gambler have in common is hope to win, whether you're gambling for fun or to make money we all like to win.

.
As a general dynamic, I'd like to know what you do when you're not gambling. I mean, I don't expect you to tell me about your life. The question is more focused on: What activity you do is above gambling? I mean, something you prioritize in your life more than gambling, or what you like to do. What would make you stop watching the Champions League final, for example?
You make it sound like gambling holds a very high place in the life of gamblers, it might be so for some but people like me I priotize a lot of things over gambling. For me God above all then my family, they come first before anything else, I priotize their interest in any decisions that I take. My wife don't mind that I gamble because I'm responsible but assuming gambling is causing problem in my home I should've stopped it because I value my relationship most. Don't take gambling too seriously because it is not a job that guarantees you sure income.

I don't have a perticular pattern or strategy to increase my bet I do it when I feel that there's a need to, what is important to me is sticking with my bankroll. Mostly I don't increase my bet, I prefer to relax and go with what I staked with but if I used my last bankroll to bet no matter my excitement to increase my stake I will not do it. I've disciplined myself not to exceed my bankroll and it has been very helpful to me so I can stay focused. I have learnt that winning is by luck, overconfidence most times doesn't proof to be effective so it's better to use amount that you can afford to loose if you must increase your bet.
