Re: I did a last resort resolve of gambling addiction.

One of the best things about addiction is that when a gambler has come to recognize addiction as a problem, it means the effect of being affected is really disturbing the person, prompting them to look for ways to stop. If you know that blocking websites can help you with gambling addiction, or whatever you can get rid of to end your addiction, I think you are taking the best step to fight against gambling addiction. Many addicted gamblers haven't yet discovered the effects of gambling, and they are not even aware of their gambling addiction. If staying away from computer devices can help you overcome addiction, I would advise you to do so.

Re: Proof that gambling may ruin any career when greed takes over

Gambling may ruin a career once greed set in, but we don't have to wait till this happens before we take some steps to ensure that we don't allow greed to come in, gambling could be more enticing as we are playing bets, while on the other sides, we need to be more tactical as the case may be even as we get the best of it, we may not be satisfied enough, but we can also choose to be well doing from the little we had along the line.
One of the things to keep in mind as a gambler, and to never fall for, is greed. When one thinks no amount is enough, it will always lead to a high desire for wins, causing one to chase more victories, which can result in losing everything.

Sometimes, gambling can be like this: the more you look, the less you see. One of the reasons that drives people to greed in gambling is their excessive confidence in winning more money.

They are never satisfied with their winnings. When greed has consumed someone so much, even after losing a significant amount of money, it becomes very difficult to stop playing because the goal is just to recover more money and all that has been lost in gambling.

Re: What do you do with a good trading strategy?

What do you do to a trading strategy that already earns you a good percentage in profit. do you still try improving on it to ensure it does not fail? or do you let it be until it starts showing signs of failure?
Enjoy it while it lasts because trading strategies don't last forever, and after some time, they might not yield the same results as they used to. It is important for a trader to be ready for a new trading strategy when a current strategy is not providing the same results. It is impossible to keep trying to improve a strategy that is failing because trading strategies are not static; the market doesn't remain the same forever. Relying on a particular trading strategy has really been one of the problems faced by some traders.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!
by
Rockstarguy
on 12/07/2025, 13:24:40 UTC
That is a solid point....I am starting to realize that trying to wait for the perfect dip can make you miss out completely. Me still being a novice, I used to think that buying high was a mistake, but now I see that if you are  in it for the long run, the entry price won’t matter much..... Itis all about holding and being consistent..... I am learning to just buy what I can and stay focused on the bigger picture.
The most important thing while investing in Bitcoin is not just about the price at which you buy Bitcoin, but what matters most is if one is thinking about the long term.

 Even if you buy Bitcoin at the biggest dip and you are not ready to hodl, there won't be any achievement from the investment. Buy and hodl ahead; the way the dip is expected, there will be so many surprises as one keeps hodling. Buy Bitcoin and never think of the price because if you consider the price of Bitcoin, you might miss it, which you won't even believe is going to happen. When Bitcoin reached 100k, many people were not very satisfied with buying more Bitcoin because they felt the price of Bitcoin would dip, but even if it happens, it doesn't really matter. By just hodling Bitcoin, you will definitely get what you want from your investment.

Re: Banks find it difficult to come in into crypto, but it is possible.!
by
Rockstarguy
on 11/07/2025, 22:19:24 UTC
Now to avoid being left behind, banks need to find a way to embrace this technology, coparete and treat it as a friendly technology rather than an enemy. How can the banks get involves in cryptocurrency fully?

In my opinion, i think the banks can offer interest bearing crypto accounts, others ways. Your thoughts

Banks aren't supposed to be fighting the adoption of cryptocurrency but should be embracing it and making it a know path that people can invest in Bitcoin from the Banks directly without needing exchanges. They should have been doing this and taking commission like how exchange are doing. People don't trust many unknown platforms that you can make use of Bitcoin on but if the banks had adopted Bitcoin early and created different means in which we can make use of Bitcoin then they would had been profiting from the wide adoption of Bitcoin. The first mistake that the banks did was that they started fighting Bitcoin at first when it came out instead of them adopting Bitcoin.
There are so many top bank officials that deal with different cryptocurrencies; I don't think the bank is the problem but the government. The government gives directions on everything about the banking system. If there is full adoption of Bitcoin, it is possible for banks to have some reserves of cryptocurrency and also some portions for exchange. I think everything is possible if the government is ready, but they are not really open to accept cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, because they feel it is a threat to fiat and the banking system, and they choose to regulate the adoption of cryptocurrency.

Re: How do people gain profit when crypto is dropping?

Please is long I'm trying to learn about crypto generally but I don't seem to understand most things as if am left out. I leant that even though crypto market is going against you can still make gain out of the situation because to me am only experiencing lost and depression. Please what do I do whenever the market is experiencing deepening? Is there a way to reverse your trade or investment at that point that will make you gain instead of lost?
It depends on the crypto that you are investing in; then it is expected for you to be worried when the price reduces, or you are just not prepared to invest at all but your interest is simply to make quick money.

As long as you understand crypto investment, specifically Bitcoin, you don't need to be worried when the price of Bitcoin falls because it is expected, and you understand where you are heading. When people don't understand Bitcoin and know the purpose of holding Bitcoin, volatility will always be a problem for them.

Re: Bitcoin Volatility: More of an Advantage Than Disadvantage
by
Rockstarguy
on 11/07/2025, 19:57:21 UTC
INTRODUCTION
I've read so many articles and thesis that strongly suggest that the main reason why many people especially businesses and companies are yet to invest in Bitcoin is because "it's too volatile". But my personal study of Bitcoin's volatility graph shows that volatility is not weakness. It's one of the major basis Bitcoin stands out from everything else in the financial world.
You will only be worried about Bitcoin volatility when there is a lack of understanding of Bitcoin, and one is expecting to make a profit from Bitcoin quickly and is not ready to hodl Bitcoin. The volatility of Bitcoin is what makes Bitcoin what it is, and people must understand it. When the price of Bitcoin drops, it is an opportunity for investors to accumulate more Bitcoin, and as the price of Bitcoin increases, it is also a benefit for those who have been hodling to profit from their Bitcoin investment. The volatility of Bitcoin shouldn't be a problem because it is what makes Bitcoin very valuable. A lack of understanding will always lead people to view Bitcoin in a certain way, which may cause them to be hesitant about investing.

Re: The main thing is to stop in time.
by
Rockstarguy
on 08/07/2025, 17:49:45 UTC
It's quite unfortunate that there are people who don't really enjoy the benefits of gambling profits not because they are not winning but they don't withdraw their profits. Greed is the main reason for this, gamblers like this take every win as a trigger to continue gambling and as a result of this they might end up losing everything including their capital or bankroll. Knowing where to draw the line is important
When a person is subject to gambling, he has no time for such thoughts as you have mentioned. He is not interested in a single win. He is aiming for much more. Someone strives to hit the jackpot, and for this you should act only in this way. Therefore, everything is not as clear-cut as it may seem. Everyone has their own goals. Someone needs much more money to buy a specific material thing or something like that.
If you are desperate in getting money from gambling or feel you must obtain money from gambling by all means,  this can make one to find it difficult to stop playing and even if you win you will desire to get more money which will cause one to keep playing. Winning in gambling is by luck and when a gambler thinks it can be gotten at all time it can be very difficult for one to make decisions to stop gambling, they will prefer to always sleep in the gambling House.

Re: The Role of AI in Gambling
by
Rockstarguy
on 08/07/2025, 15:10:55 UTC
With all of the hype surrounding AI, I wonder what impact will it have on the gambling industry? Perhaps, gamblers will experience more fairness and randomness when betting online. I mean, provably-fair casinos already exist. But AI can help improve them in the long run.

Feel free to share your opinion below. Thank you. Smiley
I think one of the roles AI has to play in gambling, especially in games like sports, is to conduct research and gather findings about a team to understand its performance. However, as far as betting is concerned, AI predictions are not different from those of humans because gambling is unpredictable and is considered a game of the unknown. There is no need to rely on AI to win; instead, it can cause one to lose more by instilling excessive confidence in betting.

With AI, a gambler can get reviews about a casino to determine if it is good for placing bets, so with AI, one can gather valuable information about a casino to truly understand the gambling site one is dealing with.

Re: The BTC drops is causing panics

Is over 3 months now btc is experiencing lost, in my little way I use 1 million naira to invest and ever since then I don't feel like sleeping because my money keeps dropping every now and then,
[/quoted]
It would have been better if you converted the money you use in investing in bitcoin to dollar, so that others who are not in the same region with you will understand the actual value. If investing in bitcoin and you can't sleep it means you didn't invest with the amount that you can afford , and it also means you don't understand bitcoin investment and you are not ready to hodl bitcoin.

I don't know how long this drops is going to continue because am scared the little money I thought will built empire is shrinking to 200k. Please what's causing these deflection of cryptos and markets. Or should I remove the remaining balance?
The Market is unpredictable that is why when investing you need to have the mindset of long-term and to understand the market being unpredicted. There are so many reasons that could be the steady movement of the market (up and down). Understand bitcoin investment first before you invest.

Understand:
- volatility and the market is unpredicted.
-understand it is longterm and be ready to hodl
-you have to invest with what you can afford.
-prepare your mind to have patience.

With these understandings you won't get panic with your investment.

Re: Taking risks responsibly.

These decisions some times are take out of emotions, when they are suffering losses or enjoying win,  they begin to get emotional and in some cases they may even be impulsive and at that point,  they do not look forward to winning by their skills or knowledge but solely luck,  so you see them placing radom stakes and just getting anxious about results they are expecting, they even chase losses and sometimes pottery some addictive tendencies unknowingly.
Greed and emotion are the problems most gamblers face. If a gambler is able to handle greed and emotion, it becomes very easy to know when to stop gambling and to make decisions not to keep playing to recover losses. Greed is the biggest problem; when one is able to handle it, they begin to develop emotions. Gambling can be something else for those who don't understand it, which is why it is very important for a player to have a better understanding of gambling. Otherwise, one may lose control over how to approach gambling.

First thing I will always tell a beginner I to understand gambling,  because understanding is the principal thing. If a gambler understand gambling well I don't think he will have any problem with gambling when it comes to spending and sticking to the limit.

We have talked more about gambling addiction, so let focused on other areas where we can also be happy telling someone the areas of gambling to focus and make winning.
I will talk more on this because this is the biggest challenge thst a gambler can face and cam also ruin one's life, since this is a big problem I think it is very important for beginners to be aware of gambling addiction and for them to be so cautions not to fall victim of gambling addiction.

Re: What’s your worst loss, and how did you cope afterward?
by
Rockstarguy
on 07/07/2025, 18:45:57 UTC
As for me, when I have one of those days that I have a big loss, it's more on a mental trauma to me. I can't function as normal, I went into depression mode, can't get out of my bed and go to work and will just call my boss that I'm sick. And this might take to 3 days or even a whole week. And of course, the physical effect as well, I can't eat and so I lose a lot of weight.

How about you guys? Did you experience this when you gamble a lot?
The fact is that when a large amount is used in gambling, an amount that you are not ready to lose and if the game ends up with an outcome that you never planned for, you will definitely feel bad about it. There are always consequences to playing with an amount that you can afford to lose. Sometimes you may be lucky to escape it, but if the outcome of the games turns out the other way round, one will end up being emotional. Gambling is risky, and when a risk is taken and a gambler is not lucky, it may lead to depression.

The truth is that if a larger amount is used in gambling and the outcome is a loss, there is nothing one can do about one's emotions. By seizing it, you must definitely go through the pain; that is why it is advisable to gamble with what you can afford. Emotions are static when the right amount is not being used for gambling; you must go through it.

Re: Which is more addicting?

on 07/07/2025, 16:10:18 UTC
Addiction is about the state of mind of the addict and not what he addicted to, a gambling addict can play several gambling game2all fuelled by his addictions.
Addiction is just the mindset and the level of understanding one has towards gambling. If you understand gambling as a game that is not certain, and even if a gambler plays different games, the understanding that is there about gambling will make one gamble in the right way that won't be a problem for the person.

 It is not about the number of games being played that will determine if a gambler will be addicted or not, but what really matters is how you see gambling and how you understand it. If addiction is all about the number of games being played, then it means gamblers who only play sports games won't be addicted, yet there are many gamblers who play only sports who are addicted.

Do you guys think that he's showing a genuine interest in Bitcoin now? Or is this going to be like Tesla (not) accepting Bitcoin?

The dogecoin creator is also optimistic about this btw.
Just seeing the thread, I smiled because I already know what he is up to. When politicians have an interest, they give support to Bitcoin. I see Elon Musk like every other politician; this is how Trump showed interest in Bitcoin during his election campaign. This is not because they have a genuine interest in Bitcoin, but just because of what they are aspiring for. Elon Musk supporting Bitcoin is not surprising to me because I know he is up to something; it is so visible that even the blind can see.

1; Trading is risky that it can empty your savings overnight but when lucky with good allocated strategies, you can be get rich overnight or probably in Short term.
Trading don't make people to be rich, Trading is risky and if you are Trading you need to trade with the amount you can afford,  you don't need to trade with a bigger amount(allocation) just because you want to get a bigger profit. Remember the market is unpredictable that anything can happen.  As a trader their are things that you need to consider to make you stick to the amount you can afford to lose, first you have to understand trading is risky and with this you don't have to trade more and you also need to consider your understand in trading and your experience which you don't need to trade more than what you can't afford.
Quote
2; Investment has zero risk but demands your patient to get you rich or successful probably in a long term.

Let them decide and make wise or foolish decisions of themselves.
Investment is still risky but can't be compared to that in trading. Investment not being careful with the way your seedphrase is kept is a risk . Not having a proper understanding of the market is a risk. Both investing and in trading it is important for one to have a better understanding because it reduces the risk of losing money.

Re: Is a University Degree Still Worth Anything?
by
Rockstarguy
on 06/07/2025, 22:31:45 UTC
It depends. If you are thinking of becoming a university graduate to attain a degree or certificate for jobs, then going to university may not be worth it because there are fewer jobs, especially in fields outside health science. But if there are other reasons to be a university graduate not just for the sake of having a job then going to university to study is really worth it. The world has really changed; this is not the time when people go to school to get certificates to secure jobs. Even if there are no jobs, there are still good reasons why one needs to go to school. The university is a place for exploration, and it is a place where one can even get good life opportunities from the people you meet.

Re: Type of gambling and Intelligence
by
Rockstarguy
on 06/07/2025, 22:06:44 UTC
Does the type of game you play at a casino or sports you bet on show an individual's level of intelligence or how smart a person is?
Blackjack, Poker, slots, roulette, baccarat, sports betting, horse racing, betting on sociopolitical events, keno, etc.
Gambling has nothing to do with intelligence; it is just a game of interest and fun. A particular game becomes a favorite for a gambler based on familiarity. If I'm very familiar with sports, perhaps from my environment and the people around me, it is very likely that I will take an interest in sports games, and they will become my favorite games. There are some games that I have never played simply because I am not familiar with them, and because of that, I have no interest in them.

Of course that was a bitter moment that I have ever felt, besides blaming the system I also experienced severe depression, if I remember it now, I am very ashamed, now I have limited my gambling and now the situation has improved, I am still actively playing even though only occasionally
The best thing to do is to adjust and understand the system because blaming the system won't change anything. Gambling is all about understanding;

 when you understand it better, you won't feel anything because you are only gambling with the amount that you can afford to lose and you are not having high expectations. The way people understand gambling can be a problem, but it is unfortunate that what matters most to gamblers is how much money can be won in gambling, while they don't take the time to gain a clear understanding of what it really is.
