Re: Earning salary or owning a business which is better

Both can be helpful, but if we want true financial freedom, we already know the answer: we can only achieve it through business, not by being an employee—unless you hold
a very high position in the company you're in.

It's also obvious that when we're business owners and we grow our business, we are truly free because we control our own time,
unlike earning a salary where the company controls our time. You know that.

A good job and a good business can serve the purpose of elevating some one from poverty to financial freedom but the most important thing is the position you are while trying to be free financially for example, you work and get paid but you don't have the decision of your own and you can be replaced when you no longer want to do as you are instructed but in business once you become successful you can establish more branches and become the boss which is better than being controlled by others, your business is more important because even when you are elevated financially you still have your time to pursue other important things which you may not be given the opportunity if you are working for someone else.
People’s views can really shift with time especially when it comes to new technology at first bitcoin was ignored or brushed off as just another internet trend but as the years passed the conversation changed now even figures like trump are showing interest which shows how much mainstream attention crypto has pulled in.The reason isn’t hard to see the world keeps advancing and technology keeps reshaping how people live work and spend money what once felt strange or unnecessary slowly becomes part of everyday life smartphones were once doubted too but today no one can live without them bitcoin and crypto are following a similar path people who never cared about it before are now realizing it might actually hold value for the future.

This shift is not just about trump or politicians it’s happening everywhere regular people who once dismissed bitcoin as a fad are now curious about it they’re learning how it works they’re watching how governments and companies react to it and many of them are finally starting to get involved because they don’t want to miss out.What stands out is how quickly perceptions can change technology evolves fast and people’s mindset changes with it bitcoin is no longer seen as a small experiment it’s becoming a recognized part of the digital world that keeps expanding whether people like it or not that’s why renewed interest isn’t surprising it’s part of the natural process of acceptance once something proves it can survive and grow over time.

Re: Losing time in gambling is worse than losing money.
by

We all know you can never get time back, and when you’re losing in gambling and not even enjoying it, that’s time wasted too. Double the stress means a bad day, and sometimes it carries over, because there are always consequences when you’re addicted to gambling.

If you’re someone who values your time, you really need to be careful when taking risks in gambling. Always stay responsible to avoid this from happening. Instead of using that time to improve yourself, you get carried away and end up wasting it all on something that doesn’t even give you anything back.
Time is precious which once gone can never be recovered. And people use this time in different ways, some use their time enough and some use their time negligently and misuse it. So we should value time while we have it and should not regret it when it is gone. In every case, we should value our time seriously because time is very important in any case. Be it gambling or anything, time should always be used for good purposes and should never be used negligently. Maybe we have enough time, we waste our time negligently, we do not understand its importance but for a responsible person, time is valuable enough and he never wastes time negligently.
Money can be recovered but time cannot, any time that passes by is gone forever so we must give value to how we spend our time. Gamblers need to value the time that they use for gambling, don't overstay when you should stop, always be mindful of it. It is important to plan ahead how long you intend to spend in a casino, it'll help you to be focused and be mindful of when to stop. Without proper time planing you can easily get carried away and begin to over gamble. Gambling can be very addictive, you might not know how long you've been logged into a casino until it's very late, at that time you've missed out on important things that you should've done.
Time is one of the most valuable things we have because once it’s gone it never comes back money can be lost and earned again but time only moves forward gambling shows this very clearly when someone loses money it’s painful but when they lose hours or even whole days chasing losses that’s something they can never get back. When gambling turns into addiction it’s not just money at stake it’s time energy focus and opportunities that could have been used for better things self improvement family rest or building a future the danger is that in the moment you don’t realize how much time is slipping away you only see it later when the regret sets in.

This is why being mindful about time is so important a responsible person treats time as limited and plans ahead if someone chooses to gamble they should always decide beforehand how much money and especially how much time they will give to it without that boundary it’s easy to get lost and suddenly realize you’ve wasted hours that could have been spent on something meaningful. Valuing time means treating every moment like it matters whether in gambling or in life when you see time as precious you don’t throw it away carelessly and you don’t allow addictions to steal it from you in the end the real win is not just protecting your money but also protecting your time because that’s the one resource no one can ever get back.

Re: A reason you should be careful comparing your trades.
by
Lanatsa
on 09/09/2025, 05:32:35 UTC

But during the learning process one major thing that you should know is to be careful comparing your trades, that is comparing your trades with someone who is already successful in trading or even comparing your trades amongst yourself. While it may sound like a good thing to do, the danger is that even if you are doing the work to learn, it can build up a lot of doubts about your strategy and your learning pattern, you may begin to think that because you are not seeing results currently, the strategy line that you're learning is not functional when in fact it is.

Without having to think at the same frequency that you would be seeing this, I would say, the idea of having to compare is drastically wrong. It might lead to some realization of what steps one might be taking that lead them to not have profitable trades to learning other strategies used by friends and colleagues to archive some good success rate in trading.

Comparing could create a tensed environment which could lead to competition and that could result in traders not having to do detail analysis before taking trades which and have failed results more often. Seeing it for a learning curve would be much better.

Comparing trades can be a dangerous trap especially for beginners it might feel natural to look at someone else’s results and measure yourself against them but trading is not a level playing field people have different amounts of capital different levels of experience different risk tolerance and even different emotional control so the comparison usually doesn’t make sense.What often happens is that when someone compares too much they start doubting their own strategy even if it’s something solid that just needs time to show results that doubt can push them to abandon their system too early or keep jumping from one strategy to another without ever mastering any of them and in trading inconsistency usually leads to losses.

It’s true that learning from others has value you can study what works for them and maybe take ideas that fit your style but making it a competition or feeling pressured by their wins creates tension and leads to rushed trades with little analysis that usually ends badly.The healthier way is to see trading as a personal journey everyone has a different pace and process if you focus on your own growth and treat mistakes as lessons instead of proof that you’re failing then over time your skill and consistency will grow comparing yourself to your past self is far more productive than comparing to someone else’s highlight reel.

Re: Team's Failure, who is Responsible?
by
Lanatsa
on 09/09/2025, 03:20:01 UTC

As we have seen in the present day reality, the coach takes the major part of the blame and it is the reason why coaches are often sacked after an unsuccessful season and players are not always sold. The coach makes decisions as;
1. Who to play
2. How long to play
3. Formation to play
So, why will the blame come on the players. Although, players obviously have their bad days.
So if it's mainly the coach that is responsible for the players as you stated, so why is it that when a team wins the match, it's mainly the players that gets all the credits for the win, only few times that coaches are acknowledged, why? For me, it's the players that's should take majority of the blame when the lose same way they take majority of the credit when they win.
And probably this is also the reason that coaches are being fired first when teams have problem, like not winning or being eliminated for years. Although there could be circumstances that beyond the coach, like players are injured that's why they played so bad that they've lost even if they are the betting favorite. Players just followed what their coaches design in play. Otherwise if they don't follow it, then it's either they are going to be bench or not given enough playing time. Players might be to blame but it's not totally their fault if coach has other things in mind that's why they lost.
The coach really is like the brain of the team setting the strategy deciding who plays and for how long and choosing the formation but once the whistle blows it’s the players that carry out the plan and people naturally celebrate what they see with their eyes like a striker scoring a last minute goal or a keeper pulling off a big save fans connect to those visible moments more than the invisible tactical work from the sidelines.When a team wins the players become heroes because it’s their effort that everyone notices and that’s why they usually get most of the credit the coach might be mentioned but only rarely does the spotlight stay on them unless they made a bold tactical decision that clearly changed the game.

On the flip side when the team keeps losing the coach becomes the scapegoat because it’s easier for clubs to change one coach than to sell ten players and also it sends a message to fans and media that the club is trying to fix things even though sometimes the real issues are deeper like injuries poor recruitment or just bad form from the squad.Players definitely deserve some blame too because even the best tactics won’t work if the effort and discipline on the pitch is missing but coaches are held to a higher standard since they are supposed to bring out the best in their players and adapt when things go wrong so the cycle continues wins go to the players losses go to the coach.

Re: Will banks One day accept Bitcoin deposit?
by
Lanatsa
on 06/09/2025, 20:25:19 UTC
Sending bitcoin to the bank defeats the purpose for which it was created. Bitcoin signifies "freedom of the unbanked," so what is the point of sending it to the bank then? Besides, the bank is a third party, and Bitcoin came as a rescue from third parties, and this also includes the banks which uses every opportunity it has to exploit people from their hard earned resources because of the fact that the government backs them up for their dirty acts. Even if the banks accept bitcoin, it will be the last thing I will ever do to deposit my bitcoin with the bank when I can keep it under my own custody.

True. But if banks start accepting BTC deposits, most people won't hesitate to entrust their coins in them. They prefer convenience above all else. This will ultimately enrich banks, as they profit from customers' holdings. Although, I don't think most banks would be willing to take that risk. Especially when Bitcoin is volatile.

Besides, adopting Bitcoin will uncover banks' dirty schemes. It is a transparent ledger, after all. Banks are better off with Fiat because they can manipulate it to "their hearts' content". But who knows? With "Wall Street" in the game, anything's possible. Let's us hope Bitcoin doesn't turn centralized in the long run.

There are those who would be quick to deposit with the bank, but I strongly believe core Bitcoin enthusiasts would never make such a mistake because they already know the implications, and as for the banks, all they do is for profit. Believe me, when it comes to banks handling anything financial, they must always look for what to use in closing their tracks so that no one may know, and I would not be surprised to see banks coming up with their own crypto App designed for their nefarious act, for which they would compel people to use so they can easily do what they want from their end.

Whether the market is volatile or not doesn't concern the banks; all they care about is their profit. As long as they get their own cut or share from every transaction that goes on within their ecosystem, they are good to go, but I am wondering the criteria they would likely use to measure one's asset deposited with them for transaction records. whether by monetary value as at when deposited, or the exact volume or quantity deposited, as this would be the basis on which transactions involving bitcoin are being carried out in the bank.
And that is where the biggest concern lies because banks are not charities they never handle assets without a way to profit from them if they ever integrate bitcoin into their system it won’t be out of goodwill but rather to design a model where they get their cut from every single move deposits withdrawals transfers and maybe even by rehypothecating assets just like they do with fiat the whole idea of bitcoin was born to escape that system to allow people true custody and true ownership without middlemen stepping in so the thought of handing it back to banks feels like undoing the very foundation it was built on.

Still it’s also realistic to admit that many people don’t want the responsibility of holding their own keys managing cold wallets or worrying about security they will trade custody for convenience any day and that is where banks see opportunity they will likely measure deposits in fiat value at the time of entry since volatility complicates accounting but in doing so they strip bitcoin of its identity and turn it into just another line item on a balance sheet in the end it will come down to choice those who value sovereignty will never let banks hold their coins while those who prioritize convenience will hand it over willingly the real test will be whether bitcoin as an ecosystem can maintain its ethos of decentralization while still existing in a world where banks inevitably try to mold it into their profit machine.

Re: Is it still gambling if you're sure you're going to win?
by
Lanatsa
on 06/09/2025, 19:29:24 UTC
There are event you can predict on that even though it's not 💯 guaranteed that you're going to win,  a level of certainty makes you think that you're surely going to win.

The downside of that feeling is that you might become over confident to use a big amount in the game since you're to a large extent certain that you're going to win.

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?
If we aren't calling it gambling then what else should we call it? so-far-as it involves staking of your hard earned money that is gambling of course, just that it is more like a sure game in other words sure banks, however gambling sometimes can be very unpredictable, nothing is certain in the game is either you lose or you win.
Yes, that is still gambling because money is involved. But we don't have to feel overconfident because we don't know the final result. There is a possibility for the result to be different from what we expect so when that happens, we may feel bad and want to try more.

That will just make us keep playing without thinks that we are already playing enough gambling. Gambling involves uncertainty even if we are sure with our analysis. So we must be wise in gambling.
And when you look closely this overconfidence is really what traps most gamblers it’s not even the initial loss that hurts the most it’s the idea in their mind that they should have won so they keep doubling down to prove themselves right instead of just moving on they believe the game owes them a result but gambling doesn’t owe anybody anything it only plays by its own rules the continuation of this mindset often leads to dangerous spirals someone starts small then increases the stake because they felt 90 percent sure and before they realize it their bankroll is damaged and the stress starts to kick in this stress then pushes them to gamble more hoping to recover losses but all it does is make the hole deeper and deeper until there is no way out except stopping completely this is why many experienced players always say discipline and self control are more important than any strategy because once you believe there are guaranteed wins you are already halfway lost in reality gambling is always uncertain and the only thing you can control is your own decision making if you treat every game as uncertain no matter how confident you feel you will protect yourself and give yourself the chance to stay in the game longer without destroying your finances and your peace of mind.

And that’s the real secret if you ask me it’s not about chasing the next big sure win but about learning how to manage both the highs and the lows because gambling is designed to test your emotions if you can stay calm in both moments of victory and defeat then you are already ahead of most people once you understand that it’s more about the journey than the illusion of guaranteed profit you will realize that patience and discipline are the only true allies in this game.

Re: Bitcoin unable to fall below $107000
by
Lanatsa
on 06/09/2025, 14:33:38 UTC
Bitcoin seems to have found support around $107k, and after touching that level, it rebounded toward $111k. While there’s still uncertainty over whether it could retest and break below $107k, the current momentum suggests a stronger likelihood of continuation to the upside, with the next potential target around $112k, and if Bitcoin can decisively break through, the price could continue its upward trajectory.

Yes Bitcoin Strong is on support. That is why Bitcoin prices are not currently falling and the price of Bitcoin has increased slightly. However, we got to watch the market several days ago. Bitcoin will come down below 105k but now the situation shows that one has failed. But now it is certainly not to say, Bitcoin may increase further. But if any reason or any economic problem is reduced again. Then we will see Bitcoin below 100k and if it happens then again will touch New Ath again very quickly. However, we should create the right mentality to deal with all the situations.
Unless there's significant negative news, this support level looks quite strong.
We could fall below 105,000, but this support level has worked well. It's now September, so there could be some positive activity during this period, depending on some minor positive news.
Summers are normally worse, but looking back at previous years, this summer was good for Bitcoin pricing. I don't think the bull run is completely over, but I envision a winter where we'll break above 125,000 ATH.
When Bitcoin consolidates for a long time at a strong support level it usually means that larger investors or institutions are building positions slowly without creating much noise or drawing attention from retail traders during this period many small traders often lose patience thinking that the market is dead or boring but in truth accumulation is taking place beneath the surface and this silent process is what sets the foundation for the explosive moves that tend to happen unexpectedly leaving those who hesitated or got shaken out chasing the pump after the breakout when the trend turns strong.

If we carefully look at historical cycles the same pattern repeats itself corrections always come and they always look dangerous in the present moment making people fear that the bull run is over but when time passes and we look back those same dips are remembered as golden opportunities that built long term wealth patience is always the ultimate edge in trading because the market is designed to test emotions and break discipline those who can stay calm hold positions wisely and understand the bigger picture are the ones who come out stronger while those who panic or chase hype end up regretting their choices consistency and long term thinking always beat fear and greed.

Re: My opinion on when bets should increase
by
Lanatsa
on 05/09/2025, 15:22:51 UTC
Bet adjustment is actually about the management of risk and emotions. Pursuing after losses through bets increase can be potential danger, because a single wrong turn can erase you.
There's this thing when knowing or setting a plan on how to react to your emotion and the other part which is what you eventually do at that moment that you are either winning or wants to continue winning more which will cause you to increase your bet. games like sports betting that you actually do selection of games before the start of the game and then wait for all the games to run to completion before knowing if you have won are the ones that are easy to work on, other ones that allows you to make multiple of bets at intervals of few minutes are usually difficult to control ones emotion.

building the right emotional strength that enables the gambler opt out when it is necessary and not just when it is convenient is the first step of building a system that guides your extent of responsiveness to emotional pulls and keeps you in check such that you do not increase your bets at any slight emotional pulls.

Bet adjustment is also about understanding that losses and wins are both part of the game no matter how good your selection is there will always be variance and the urge to “fix” that variance with bigger bets is what puts people in trouble chasing losses feels logical in the moment because your mind tells you the next one has to hit but probability doesn’t care about emotions if you raise your stakes without a plan one wrong turn can erase weeks of steady progress.

The same goes for chasing wins after a hot streak you feel untouchable and start increasing your bets thinking the momentum will never end but that’s usually the point where gamblers give back everything and more a healthy system needs rules written down in advance things like maximum bet size stop loss limits or even scheduled breaks so that when emotions flare up you already know your response it’s like having a safety net you set while calm so you don’t fall when you’re heated.Emotional control isn’t built overnight it’s developed through experience and reflection sometimes stepping away from the screen even when you feel the itch to place another bet is the most powerful adjustment you can make over time these habits build resilience you stop treating gambling like a race to recover or a chase for instant profit instead it becomes a controlled game where you know exactly how much you’re risking and why that shift in mindset is what separates gamblers who last from those who burn out quickly.

Re: I'm wealthy and unsuccessful
by
Lanatsa
on 05/09/2025, 12:36:09 UTC
So I moved back to my rural hometown after long years of building a career in the capital city, met up some friends I haven't seen for ages. Hanged out, got to my story and their first question was where did I buy my house. I told them I didn't, I'm in a rental property like I've always been. It was strange at first but then I realized I was their idol, the "rich guy who made it". 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.

There was a question a few days ago here, someone coined what could be the biggest problem with economies. This is one of them, for sure. People can't differentiate assets and liabilities. They think they own the house, they claim they own the car, and in the meantime they're in utter debt. People strive to take on liabilities instead of building wealth which consists of assets (favorably hard or income-generating assets). They discount their time, become corporate slaves just to keep up with the illusion of their lifestyles they ought to show to the outside world.

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.

Those who work endlessly and look for extra work should change their understanding of the financial world. And I am not talking about complex economies, but about money management within the family. When I first read Robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" my world changed. And I immediately recommended it to my friends. Did the world change in their heads? No. Half of them did not read it, considering this book mediocre. It is their choice. Many people do not want to see the world from new angles, even if they are told to. Oh well. It is their life and let them live it themselves as they want.
Moving back home after years away really opens your eyes to how differently people view wealth friends who hadn’t seen me in ages thought i must’ve owned a big house driven a nice car or traveled the world when i told them none of that applied to me their faces dropped like their whole idea of success crumbled in a moment what they didn’t realize is that wealth isn’t about ticking off flashy boxes it’s about choice i could’ve bought the house or the car but chose not to because it wasn’t the right move at the time.

So many people fall into the trap of thinking debt equals ownership they sign loans for houses and cars then live stressed just to maintain the illusion of success while the real key is building assets that work for you not against you i’ve seen it in my old classmates some buried under debt chasing side hustles just to survive while i sit in a position where freedom comes from money working for me not me working for money people can laugh at books like rich dad poor dad but the truth is unless you shift your mindset you’ll always be a slave to the lifestyle you think you need to show the world. True wealth isn’t about impressing people who don’t pay your bills it’s about having the power to walk away from anything that doesn’t serve you when you live without heavy debt you breathe differently your choices are yours not dictated by lenders or bosses chasing every paycheck i’ve seen people grind endlessly for luxuries that actually lock them into chains while others with less outward flash are living quietly free in control of their time and future at the end of the day wealth is not what you flash on the outside it’s the options you hold on the inside.

Re: 99% of players will never get rich on bets.
by
Lanatsa
on 05/09/2025, 11:33:11 UTC
I mean, of course, sports betting. In casino games based on chance, such as roulette, many more people will not be able to get rich - 99.9% or 99.99% or even 99.999%. There are many prerequisites for such a forecast. On the one hand, we know the statistics, although they are contradictory. The overwhelming majority of players, approaching 99%, according to various estimates, lose money in sports betting in the long term. If you ask me for links to studies, then, I'm afraid I will have nothing to show you. This is very difficult to do and difficult to achieve truthful results. Not all players are inclined to tell the truth and it will be difficult for an outside researcher to verify. However, the longer the period we take, the more likely it is that the winners are only people who were lucky. So I wonder what motivates people who want to get rich on sports betting if they believe in such a pattern? Do the players sincerely believe in their own exceptionalism and genius?

This is something everyone says and I don't know why some peoples still believe otherwise... if they are a newbie I also understand, but I don't beleieve when I see "veterans" or those with some experience still believing this. I only see one possibility: they are really sick, it has to be that!!!

I want to believe that most people arenot exactly looking to get rich, but rather to satisfy the personal pleasure of having a thrilling experience, of seeking the adrenaline rush on the hope of winning a bet. But this ends up become something unhealthy when these peoples use money they cannot afford to lose, when they take out loans to support this "pleasure" or even give to commit crimes for it.

It's possible to get rich? for sure! Tut that is only for a minority of plyers... Are you among of them? I'm in it only for the fun, always.
Sports betting feels like an arena where belief collides with math people know the stats are stacked against them yet the dream of beating the odds keeps them hooked some truly think they have an edge because they watch games study stats or follow trends but even with knowledge the margins are razor thin and variance can crush anyone most winners in the long run are either the disciplined few with strict bankroll rules or professionals with models and data access beyond what casual bettors can imagine.

What really fuels most players isn’t profit but emotion it’s the thrill of being right the buzz of a last minute goal the dopamine of thinking you saw something others didn’t that excitement is addictive and it tricks the brain into believing wins are closer than they really are when handled responsibly it can be harmless fun but once people start betting rent money taking loans or chasing losses it turns into something destructive and hard to escape. It’s not impossible to get rich from sports betting but the odds are so low that banking on it as a plan is closer to self sabotage than strategy the smarter path is to treat it like paying for entertainment the same way you would spend money on movies or concerts if you happen to win it’s a bonus not the plan staying in it for fun with limits set is the healthiest way because chasing riches through betting has broken far more people than it has ever made.

Re: BULL TRAPS AND BEAR TRAPS CHAOS
by
Lanatsa
on 05/09/2025, 10:58:33 UTC
What a crazy time in the world of cryptocurrency, the market is confusing both buyers and sellers.

Bull trap and Bear trap all in one session this is something very crazy, haven't experienced something like this in a while.

Tough times for crypto!
This is normal to me, I've experienced this phase of the market many times where Bitcoin dominance still surpassed many altcoin bringing the balance of the market to where it was before.

When this kind of phase do occur, many traders now consider going into futures making use of the opportunity by buyers and sellers confusion.
I'm the opposite of those traders, when market gets confusing, I just stay away from the market. The liquidation isn't worth the gain.
It's like current market where the market is just full on chasing the people's liquidation point. It literally shifted from bearish sentiment after the flash dump to optimistic recovery like now.
The people who have shorted probably can't sleep right now. On the other hand my spot bag is doing very well.
The market right now moves like a predator flashing green then red within minutes pulling both buyers and sellers into the same net what looks like recovery can flip into collapse and what feels like a dump can suddenly bounce back liquidity hunts thrive on this confusion leaving futures traders drained chasing shadows with leverage only to be swallowed by stop hunts holding spot in contrast feels calmer no forced exits no overnight liquidation just riding the waves without panic.Bitcoin dominance pulling ahead while altcoins bleed is a pattern as old as every cycle liquidity concentrates then spreads back later so it’s not unusual but it’s painful for those overexposed to alts the sentiment whiplash adds to the chaos from despair during a dump to euphoria on a bounce the same crowd gets tossed around those who step aside avoid the trap conserving capital and energy waiting for structure and direction patience is not passive here it’s a shield and it keeps you ready for the real opportunity when the noise fades.

Market swings like this are designed to test emotions one moment charts scream collapse the next they whisper recovery traders who try to outsmart every move often end up fueling the game becoming liquidity themselves while whales quietly collect positions volatility isn’t the enemy but overreaction is spot holders have the advantage of time while leveraged traders burn out chasing every flicker of red and green screens. Bitcoin dominance is another reminder that the cycle has its rhythm alts may bleed while btc steadies but eventually balance returns the trick is not to confuse noise with signal sentiment will always swing harder than fundamentals the crowd panics fast and cheers even faster stepping back during chaos is not weakness it’s control because survival isn’t just about keeping funds intact it’s about keeping clarity so that when the real trend emerges you’re prepared to ride it.

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

Suppose, as title says — you had infinite amount of 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?
Infinite amount of money? Hell yeah!!!!
I will still gamble, but not for the sake of money anymore, but for the sake of fun, and every time I put a bet, I always have this "YOLO!!!" mindset where I will always go all in to ALL of my bets because at the end of the day, I have an infinite amount of money. Cheesy

Of course realistically speaking, this will never happen (at least if you're the likes of Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or those famous billionaires out there that knows how to make huge amounts of money). Well, I might better spend those money travelling around the world, or giving it to those who are in need because... why not. I mean I'll be a philanthropist in an instant if that happens.

Anyway, gambling isn't on my priority that's why I might not still be doing it if I have this thing on me.
Love the infinite-money fantasy it's hilarious and freeing but even a pretend endless bankroll needs a bit of structure so the fun doesn't turn into chaos. set a named "fun money" pile you can actually lose and treat it like a separate universe all-in bets live there no debt allowed set caps per night and per week if you blow it you shrug and wait till the next cycle pick crazy memories not stuff — weird festivals spontaneous road trips sleep in a treehouse bankroll a tiny creative project or fund a friend's wild idea and scale what actually brings joy. if real wealth ever shows up focus on travel that teaches and targeted giving set up a donor advised fund or microgrants and make one simple rule three trusted people can veto anything that looks reckless, run a quick checklist before a big all in will this wreck relationships or mental health if yes back off.

keep a tiny yolo ledger notes on every big bet what was dumb what was golden gamify generosity let friends pitch small grants and vote make experiments small pilot them measure joy then scale beware hedonic adaptation novelty beats stuff so invest in new contexts learn weird skills try awkward things and if gambling stops being fun shrink the fun bankroll without drama.

Re: What Would It Take to Trigger the Next Bull Run? Realistic Catalysts for 2026”

If we’re going to see another major bull run in 2026, it will likely take a mix of steady economic conditions, fresh technological breakthroughs, clearer regulations, and overall market optimism. Predicting exactly when the market will take off is tough, but there are a few realistic factors that could come together to fuel long-term growth.
One big piece of the puzzle is inflation. If we continue to see it cool off around the world, central banks especially the U.S. Federal Reserve might start lowering interest rates. That shift would make borrowing cheaper, encourage more investment, and usually boost the appeal of riskier assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Another major driver could be institutional money flowing into the space. If heavyweight firms like BlackRock or Fidelity deepen their involvement whether through tokenized assets, crypto ETFs, or building out blockchain infrastructure that kind of endorsement could bring in serious capital and boost confidence across the board.
Of course, no single event can spark a bull run on its own. But if we get a combination of strong economic signals, real-world tech adoption, and smarter regulations, it could create the right conditions for markets to really take off in 2026. The key for investors will be to stay aware of the bigger picture and think long term.
f we’re looking at a major bull run in 2026 it’ll probably need a mix of steady econ conditions fresh tech breakthroughs clearer rules and a positive market mood predicting the exact timing is tough but some real factors could line up to push growth long term.One big thing is inflation if it keeps cooling down central banks like the fed might start cutting interest rates that makes borrowing cheaper pushes more investments and usually makes riskier stuff like stocks and crypto more attractive.Another big factor is money from big firms if giants like blackrock or fidelity get deeper into crypto whether through etfs tokenized assets or building blockchain things that kind of support pulls in big capital and boosts overall confidence.

Tech advances like better scalability or new use cases for blockchain could also spark more interest especially if these solutions make crypto easier and cheaper to use for everyday people.Clearer and smarter regulations would calm nerves too regulators balancing protection without killing innovation would help more investors and companies get involved without fearing sudden crackdowns.All these things working together could build a strong foundation for the market to really take off in 2026 with more adoption and bigger players entering the space the momentum might just snowball but investors gotta keep an eye on risks and stay ready for ups and downs while thinking long term.

The importance of discipline, and bankroll management in gambling is hard to overestimate it is the foundation of your safety. I want to briefly go through the most important aspects, that will help you effectively manage your money in gambling.

- First of all you need to set a budget, that you will use only for gambling you can store it however you like, and it is not necessary to send it all at once to the casino deposit you can do it in parts. The most important thing is that you know exactly how much money you have for gambling, and never exceed this amount.

- Determine your bet size and limits. I mean a limit you can't exceed for a certain period (day, week) and also time limits, that you will not exceed this, will help you avoid emotional strain, and excessive expenses.

- If you take gambling seriously try to keep track of all your bets, wins and losses, this will help you better understand where you achieve the best results type of bet (championship and so on).

- Don't try to win back your losses. Every player experiences losing streaks after which there is a desire to recover, and for this increase the bet, but this should never be done. Accept a loss as an inevitable part of gambling, be ready for it, and strictly stick to your bet limits. If you feel tired take a break it is always good for your emotional stability.

Basically this is a small list of rules, that will help you especially if you are just starting your way in gambling.
You can add rules from your experience to this list, it will be welcomed.

That is why the best attitude to gambling is to treat it as entertainment, when a certain limit in monetary terms is allocated for a week or a month and you need to mentally say goodbye to this money. Like when we go bowling or play billiards. We just know that we are giving away this money. Now we will get positive emotions for it.
That's why I really like the idea that money spent on gambling and betting should be considered entertainment spending. Even if it means not ordering an extra pizza or going to the movies.
Yes, but most of the time, if you are really that competitive, you want to get back what you have lost even though you said that it is just for fun. Anyway, gambling is really not for everyone. If we want it to be just for fun or we really wanted to make money, then it also applies that we need mental discipline and self control. Because we are wrong when we talk about that gambling is for fun only but then we don't have that two. Because as human, it's really hard to control things in our mind specially that involved money. So for me, even if for entertainment, we should also be mentally strong not to deposit again and just let the way it is. Losing your money and not thinking of recovering as the next time you deposit, you might be falling for the trap again and again.
Discipline and money control are the keys in gambling without that it’s easy to lose more than you planned once you start chasing losses and betting more just to win back what’s gone you’re mostly setting yourself up for trouble setting a clear budget and thinking of it like paying for fun helps keep your head clear you already know the money might disappear so you don’t stress or try to force wins.

Also, it’s smart to set limits before you start like how much you’ll lose in a day or week and stick to it no matter what if you feel tired or upset just walk away instead of betting on impulse tracking wins and losses helps too so you know what works best and never try to double down right after losing that’s how the trap snaps shut without control and some patience gambling stops being fun real quick and turns into stress and bigger losses instead never forget gambling should be more about entertainment than trying to make a fast buck and keeping that in mind can save a lot of headaches later on.

Re: Money or resourcefulness?
by
Lanatsa
on 04/09/2025, 15:57:41 UTC
Both are very important, and we really can't leave either one out. However, if we had to choose one, I would choose reason. The reason is that reason can open up greater opportunities and can bring in money.

The reason I didn't choose money is because I've seen many people have money but don't use it wisely. I won't say they don't think, but it's a very reasonable thing that can lead to bankruptcy. So, I personally prefer resourcefulness.
People who do not own a business, and who own a business are obvious here. If you own a business you know that both are very important. Skills, passion, resourcefulness, capital, name it, whatever you can think of, you need it. Even luck plays a role, which is something you can't make your own, you need to have it, and sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you are not. In the end, it's very tough to be a business owner and in many cases you can't just pick one.

Same with jobs, if you are in a job, and you are working, the higher salary you have, the more responsibility you will have, sure you may not actually do the job itself if you go high enough, but then you are responsible from all the people who are doing that job, so if they make a mistake, you make a mistake, while they are only responsible for their own mistakes.

Basically, in life whenever you need to be good at something then picking one thing isn't easy, you have to have it all, to be great at it.
reason and resourcefulness often outweigh money alone because they guide how resources are used and create opportunities that cash by itself cannot provide even with wealth, lack of planning or wisdom can lead to failure.In business and jobs, multiple factors must work together for success skill, capital, responsibility, and timing all play a role while luck can influence outcomes, consistent decision making and careful management of resources determine long term achievement balancing these elements allows individuals to navigate challenges and grow sustainably.

Decision-making also extends beyond business into everyday life making choices based on reasoning rather than just desire or immediate gain ensures stability and progress resourcefulness allows adaptation when unexpected problems arise and helps turn challenges into advantages without it money can be quickly lost or wasted combining strategic thinking with effort and persistence often leads to opportunities that appear out of reach to those who focus only on one aspect of success.

Re: Is gambling inspiring people to work harder?

on 04/09/2025, 14:54:40 UTC
It seems like the more we gamble, the more we're pushed to keep going whether we win or lose. Over time, gambling can become addictive, and we feel the need to keep finding more money to use as capital. I do agree that some people can maintain good self-control when it comes to gambling. For example, I set a monthly limit for myself, and once I've used up that amount, I stop and wait until the next month before gambling again.
Honestly the addiction that comes from gambling at some point will definitely need some extra help or form of discipline to overcome because with gambling you get to have fun and at same time make some cool cash for yourself so on a good day it's a win win for you and on a bad day it's a loss, two extremes you will have to suffer on both days.

Maintaining self control may not seem easy and yes ofcourse it actually isn't but again you can get it if you put your mind to achieving such. You do not only gain control, you also determine what you want at almost any point from the casino in terms of fun and the kind of loses you get to suffer because most often you can't control the wins.
Another round and it slowly becomes less about fun and more about chasing a feeling setting personal limits like a monthly budget can help create balance but without discipline it’s easy to cross those lines especially when the rush of the game takes over and logic goes quiet.Self control becomes the real skill to master and it’s never simple but possible with effort sometimes it takes outside support like friends who understand or even groups that provide accountability because once gambling starts to take too much space it affects more than just money it reaches into relationships focus and mental peace and keeping it under control means treating boundaries as a non negotiable rule not just an option.

Another thing to think about is how gambling markets itself with lights sound and promises of quick wins all designed to keep people hooked breaking away from that pull often requires finding replacements that give the same thrill or satisfaction but in healthier ways hobbies sports or even learning new skills can fill that gap over time when those new routines take root the urge to gamble loses some of its grip and it becomes easier to see gambling only as occasional entertainment rather than a lifestyle.Discipline grows slowly with practice and setbacks happen but every time limits are respected or temptations resisted it strengthens the ability to stay in control eventually the goal is not to remove fun completely but to make sure fun never turns into regret because once balance is kept gambling can remain just a game not a burden.

Re: Is it okay to trade without a source of income?

Lanatsa
on 04/09/2025, 13:59:10 UTC

That was a mistake I made when I was first learning about trading and just starting out with real money. You understand how difficult it is to learn everything about trading, especially market analysis. It's incredibly difficult, and that's what led me to try trading by relying on predictions from other people in groups or channels.

Initially, I was profitable, but over time, the results changed drastically. The average result per session was a loss, and it even led to me experiencing a trading loss. After evaluating it, it's true, as you said, that there's absolutely no guarantee of profit, regardless of whoever's predictions we follow. Now, I prefer to trade independently according to my abilities and knowledge.
It is the right choice, as you gather your own experience, and you can learn from there to develop your trading skills. Copying the trades of other traders does not guarantee that we will continue to make profits.
It is very incorrect to say that it does not require actual trading knowledge. Traders can indeed copy trades from other traders, but without knowledge or experience, it might be like you are betting based solely on the speculation of others. No wonder many novice traders see trading as gambling.

Yes, after experiencing that, I realized that the best strategy is the one we create ourselves. I also realized that a strategy that works for others might not work for us. From there, I began to realize that I had to create my own strategy based on the learning I'd done and the knowledge I'd gained through the learning process.
On the other hand, I also learned that every successful trader has their own unique formula, and that's why they consistently generate profits.

It's not really a problem to copy another trader's strategy, but my advice is to evaluate or correct it before executing it. I usually do this when I occasionally trade using someone else's strategy. When I feel confident, I execute it, or vice versa.
With that edge slowly forming the view of the market starts to change instead of chasing every move or every hype there’s more patience in waiting for setups that match the plan and even sitting on the sidelines feels like part of the strategy because not trading is also a decision the wins may still come and go but the difference is in the control over losses keeping them small and manageable so the account can survive long term.

As more time passes the experience adds layers to the strategy little tweaks here and there based on what worked and what didn’t until it becomes something unique and natural and even though the market will always be unpredictable the trader no longer feels lost because there’s a framework to follow and confidence grows with each session the journey is long but that’s where real progress lives in showing up every day learning from mistakes and building a style that no one can take away.

Re: When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?
by
Lanatsa
on 03/09/2025, 21:05:18 UTC
Luck or chance depends on the type of gambling that you're engaged in, although no standpoint of viewing gambling can guarantee wins. If it's mostly casino games like slot then it is basically luck but if it is sports bet you can analyze the chances of winning your bet. Bettors who don't analyze games are depending on luck to win because they don't rely on statistics. Whatever strategy that you choose to measure, whether it's luck or chance remember that it is mostly luck that you need to win. Always use small amount to gamble, that is the only tool that you have a control over.
I think that experience is often worthless in gambling regardless of luck or chance. In sports betting, experience is valued, but ultimately luck determines victory or defeat. In gambling, slot games are 100% luck based while in sports betting winning chance is same to experience and luck. No matter how you look at gambling statistics luck is a major factor in every scenario. When you bet on sports strategically you might think that the best team will win but it turns out that the team that perform best on the field always wins. Your observation and research of teams throughout the week can be considered useless simply because of luck. Many strong teams lose to weaker teams. That is why a recommendation is valuable. You said to always use a small amount of money for gambling this is the only way to minimize losses.
You made a great comment there, in most cases, most especially with slot and casino games , experience doesn't, really give you an edge cause those games are designed to run on pure chance, and no strategy can change that, with sport betting it's actually true that research and experience can help but just like you said luck actually do play a big role. So that's why to me betting small hell's and protect you from loosing heavily most especially when luck isn't coming your way.
It's actually safer that we have the mindset to take betting as a game for entertainment and not a way to be successful.

Well said,Gambling always circles back to luck no matter how much experience someone has slot games are completely random and even sports betting where research and strategy can add some edge still depends heavily on unpredictable factors injuries bad calls weather or simply an underdog outperforming on the day experience might improve judgment but it can’t remove the role of chance. Keeping bets small is really the only safe approach it helps minimize losses and keeps the activity in the realm of entertainment rather than a financial plan when seen as just a game it’s easier to accept both wins and losses without letting emotions take over the danger starts when people believe they can outsmart systems designed to favor the house.

Treating gambling as entertainment instead of a path to success is the healthiest mindset it protects from unrealistic expectations and prevents disappointment from turning into deeper problems balance discipline and perspective are what keep the experience safe. Another thing is knowing when to walk away because chasing losses only makes things worse the more someone tries to win back what they lost the deeper they usually fall gambling is supposed to be fun not a source of stress or debt so setting limits on time and money before even starting is one of the best habits to develop. In the end luck will always decide the outcome no matter the strategy or experience so the best approach is to enjoy the moment play within limits and never expect gambling to be a solution for financial goals that way the enjoyment stays while the risks are controlled.

Re: Are airdrops killing the value of new projects?
by
Lanatsa
on 03/09/2025, 19:53:52 UTC
Airdrops have become one of the most common ways for new crypto projects to gain attention, grow communities, and reward early supporters.

But I’ve noticed a trend a lot of these projects have massive sell pressure right after the airdrop claim period. Early holders dump their free tokens, and surely the price crashes, and the project struggles to recover.

Some people argue that airdrops are great for marketing and getting more users, while others believe they create a short-term hype bubble and hurt long-term value.

Me i would not  say airdrops are killing new projects lately, but they can definitely hurt if they are not planned properly because lately someone in the basement of his mom will just wake up and decide to come with one shallow platform in the name of a project with utilities no proper planning or any form of future progress. the honest truth is most people who join airdrops are just looking for quick profits no matter how small at the end!! they don’t really care about the project itself to begin with, so once tokens are claimable!!! They instantly dump as fast as they can which now creates that heavy sell pressure and if the team has not built a strong tokenomics or utility behind the project, then the price collapse looks like the project is failing even before it gets a chance to grow.
Airdrops still have their benefits though. Because they are one of the fastest ways to put a project on the map!! to bring in users and build that necessary digital hype. I think the difference lies in how they are structured from the beginning. If it is just a free giveaway that is disguise in form of a projectect, then it attracts dumpers. But if rewards are tied to actual engagements like staking, governance or long even term holding incentives i believe  people are more likely to stay involved rather than sell at the first opportunity they get.

Airdrops themselves are kind of not the problem. The problem is the poor planning and weak fundamentals... because projects that only rely on hype usually fade after the dump but the ones with real utilities, clear roadmaps and strong communities bounce back even stronger after the initial sell off take for instance Pi Network.
Airdrops are not the real issue the structure behind them and the type of audience they attract make the difference many participants only aim for quick profits so once tokens become claimable they rush to sell if a project lacks strong tokenomics or clear utilities the heavy sell pressure quickly pushes prices down giving the impression of failure even when the concept still holds potential.Airdrops can still play an important role they create visibility build initial hype and bring users onto a platform faster than almost any other method the challenge lies in execution when rewards are simply handed out without conditions the result is usually a community filled with short term speculators however when rewards are tied to staking governance tasks or long term holding incentives the community gains a reason to remain active and engaged.

Poor planning and weak fundamentals remain the true killers projects that rely only on hype without delivering genuine value fade quickly after the initial dump on the other hand projects with clear roadmaps utilities and strong communities often bounce back stronger once the early volatility passes pi network serves as an example of how long term vision and consistent engagement can keep interest alive even after heavy skepticism. Airdrops should be seen as tools not solutions by themselves their impact depends entirely on how they are structured and whether the team behind them has built a foundation that can weather the storm of short term profit seekers while still pushing forward with sustainable growth.

Re: Warning : Don’t Ever Let Others Use Your KYC in Gambling Sites
by
Lanatsa
on 03/09/2025, 18:13:58 UTC
For someone to be convinced to lend their KYC to others, it’s safe to assume they’re getting some form of compensation. But ask yourself, will that reward ever be bigger than the risk? Of course not. The risk is huge, so if you’ve even been thinking about doing this, stop now and understand what you’re really getting into.

Identity Theft: Once you submit your personal info, and if that website ever gets hacked, your data is out there forever. It can be used for all kinds of online transactions, legal or illegal, and that can haunt you in the future.

Privacy Exposure: Many of us chose crypto because of privacy, but now KYC has become the norm. To keep playing, some people give in and submit. Even though casinos are required to keep it confidential, hacks and breaches happen. If that data gets stolen, you lose the privacy you came here for.

Legal Liability: This is the biggest risk. If your KYC ends up tied to something serious like money laundering or terrorism, authorities won’t hesitate to go after you. And since it’s your name on the account, you can’t simply deny it, you already submitted your documents.

Bottom line... these days you can’t just trust anyone who asks to “collaborate” with you on KYC matters. The payout isn’t worth the risk.

It's a good reminder, you can often see dodgy people popping up on these forums trying to buy accounts and you risk getting caught up in all sorts of legal trouble - there is always an angle for them spending big money to access such accounts. Most reputable gambling sites will never store or try to verify your identity locally, they will often use third party services for this who have experience in identity verification and should have the highest security. You should be wary about any service where you have to email in documents, because this is often very insecure and could be intercepted. Like you say, there is no good reason to ever share an account and it is against the terms of service so will get you banned, hopefully before anything illegal takes place.
Very true. Sharing accounts only opens the door to unnecessary risks once someone else has access you lose all control over what they do with it and if trouble happens the original owner usually ends up paying the price gambling platforms have strict terms of service for a reason and breaking them can easily lead to bans or worse. Identity checks are another area where caution is important secure sites use trusted third party services with proper systems in place emailing documents directly is risky because those files can be intercepted or misused anyone serious about protecting themselves should stick to platforms with strong verification processes and never hand out personal details in insecure ways.

In the end keeping accounts private and protected is just common sense the small gain someone might think they’ll get from selling or sharing an account isn’t worth the long term damage that can follow.
