Re: Who do you blame?

Unless someone has a gun to your head literally forcing you to gamble but when that happens you have bigger problems to tackle lol. Yes the blame game is a complete cop out, there is no excuse other than your own stupidity and losses I am with you 100%. I hope the folks who can't control it get a grip because when gambling you can't play games like this with your money if you can't afford it

Agreed, we're to blame ourselves when we find ourselves gambling because we're supposed to be incharge of our mind and not letting the games be in control of us. Even when we're held at gun point, we still have the choice of choosing not to gamble irresponsibly and get ourselves in challenges that we can't get out of. Being addicted to gambling is something that isn't easy to get out of and you'll still be owing debts because you'll be borrowing to gamble.

It's better we don't gamble than to be blaming others when we start having issues that's causing us to get low on cash. Blaming others isn't going to stop you from having the problem that you have hence owning up to your mistakes is the only thing that can help you because you'll start taking more precautions that way.

There are a lot of such people out there; they are not just few in number, and only a few among all of them that started gambling on that ground have been able to realize that it’s not easy to make a living from gambling. The rest of them are still going on with that belief, and that has been their major problem because they rely on it to make money, and it’s not even working as they planned. As the more they go, the more they spend money trying to win something good from the casino.

Casinos are making lots of profits because they're still many people that think that they can achieve financial breakthrough from gambling. While some get success, alot more are experiencing heartbreak but they won't stop because they have convenience themselves that they're going to become wealthy from gambling. This is why we lot of people gambling into their old age without achieving anything in life, they spent all their money gambling and only making the caisnos rich instead of their family. When we get older we aren't supposed to be gambling with the same mindset we had when we were younger. With older age, we're supposed to have found other means of making money without it having to be on hope.

Re: What does working for yourself really mean?

Working  for your self in my own understanding simply means running your own personal business, not working under any firm or any company own by someone else but you are running your own personal business.

Agreed. You can't say you're self-employed when someone else is paying your salary. Working for yourself is self explanatory because it's when you aren't the owner of the business then you're working for someone. Even when that someone is family or friend. Unless you're part of the company that you and your friend or family joined resources together to open then that's when you can say you're working for yourself. There are two ways of working for yourself and the first is doing everything alone while the second is having a partnership. Not everybody can own a business and not everybody is supposed to be working for others.

Re: Earning salary or owning a business which is better
by

on 26/08/2025, 10:39:02 UTC
But if I have to choose between owning a business or working as a salary earner, I would prefer to own a business. This is because it is really hard for some people to remain on a salary level and still achieve certain goals.snother thing is that someone can be sacked from work at any time, or the company might collapse. But when you own a business and you are fully focused, it's easier to become rich than when working under someone.

It isn't as easy as you're writing because you'll have to put in twice the work that you're putting into working for someone else when you're working for yourself. With your own company, you're building a brand that if you don't do your best it won't work but for others, they're others like you also working for the business that the minimum you do is enough to be paid. Your business requires more dedication and that's not an easy thing to do. When you fail, you'll be broken that it's almost not easy to pull yourself back up and continue to hustle. Personal business owners go through alot that not many can go through and still be able to continue investing into the business.

It's not for everybody and whoever trades in leverage and manages to take the risk properly and able to profit, you have an idea on how to control yourself. What's wrong with people hearing others doing leverage trading being profitable, they think that it's also going to work for them. But that's not it, it's hard to get into leverage when you are less experienced trader and you are trying it without further knowledge. You're gonna be consumed by the market and will be easily liquidated.

Leverage trading is advanced trading and not suitable for beginners to be doing. Anybody that wants to get into leverage trading have to first have mastered spot trading and become a constant profitable trader before getting into leverage trading. With the experience from spot trading, they can do well with leverage. Not everybody can be a leverage trader because they don't have the thinking or mindset. Leverage trading has more risk to it and any mistakes can make you lose more money. With leverage you're putting in more risk and that's why people get liquidated quite easily when trading with leverage.

As trader, you should be ready to keep studying just like a student that is in college learning to know and pass exam. The exam aspect in the profitablity area of trading. Since there are thousands of traders in the market, reading charts, studying the market just to make profits, we should be ready to keep studying to keep getting it right profitably.

Traders learn everyday hence they have to be constantly studying like they're students because that's what they're. The market is their teacher and the market is always teaching them new things because it's difficult to understand the market completely. Traders that have been trading for 10 years still have things they learn when they open a new trade. With the experience, they make more profits and that's why you have to be very well experienced in trading before you can start making continuous profits. Beginners need to understand that trading isn't a joke that they'll be gambling and thinking that they're trading. It isn't only about studying the market but beginners need to take home lessons from everything they're doing.

Re: stop following strategy

while strategy is admirable for continuing to buy bitcoin, we individuals should not be following strategy if they tend to buy bitcoin at its peak. now that bitcoin is declining now is the time to accumulate the most bitcoins as you can again.

What I think is that there shouldn't be a particular time for buying Bitcoin, we can buy anytime that we like or when the money is available and that way we can always be buying Bitcoin. The people that have benefited more from Bitcoin are those that have bought when others aren't buying. Everybody can not be doing the same thing hence we have to plan ourselves and do the buying when it works for us. There are others buying Bitcoin at their own time and not followings the strategy of Saylor's. Saylor's has access to more money and can do whatever they want but for people like us with limited resources, our investing strategy should be made based on our pocket and not that of Saylor.

This is a call to everyone who's salary is not enough to accumulate Bitcoin fine a side hustle.
There is dignity in labor don't be shy when doing any side hustle that will be easy for you because you will reap the good from your hustle in the future.

For those that still have a job that's enough for them to accumulate Bitcoin, that shouldn't stop them from accumulating Bitcoin with an additional side hustle. Side hustle makes more money to be at your disposal and with more money, you can achieve more things. The time you have strength to do more work and make more money, use that time well because soon you mightn't have time anymore or the money you have won't be enough for you hence making good use of all the time you have when you have them is important. Side hustle are many now that you don't have to overwork yourself anymore.

Signature campaign can be considered a side hustle as you grow your account and be participating in signature campaign to get more money and accumulate Bitcoin through that process. Anything can become a side hustle this day while you still have your main job.

After they have won and latter suffer a loss, you get to see that what follows next is them beginning to loose discipline and with time they move into addiction from something they Intended for just entertainment initially.

We have the choice to be in control or act out of control when gambling but it's better we decide to be in control because that's only when we can enjoy gambling. Gamblers are irresponsible and act out of not thinking and that's the similarities between most gamblers. They aren't supposed to behave like that but the spirit of enjoying what they're doing make them to become a nuisance without knowing. Gamblers are indecisive with their decisions because they're confused on what to do or what not to do. They can't make one decision and go with that because they're always unsure of what they're doing but still won't stop.

Re: Drinking vs Gambling
by

on 25/08/2025, 22:51:41 UTC
The government is aimed at collecting taxes, and I think gambling brings them significant revenue, just like the sale of alcohol, so they will not restrict what generates money. Combining alcohol with gambling is the responsibility of the players, if it does not affect their ability to control themselves, then it is fine, but if it reduces concentration and interferes with decision-making, it is better not to do it.

Agreed, the government aren't supposed to be babysitting anyone, it's their responsibility to be gambling with knowing their limits and avoiding things that'll make them get out of control. We're responsible for our actions hence we shouldn't drink and be gambling when we know we have some drinking problems. Imagine combining things that you're having problem controlling. You're supposed to be a responsible gambler because it helps you manage your finances better when you're not under the influence of alcohol but know every decision that you're making. There are people that can gamble and be drinking without being irresponsible, if you aren't like that then you shouldn't be doing that. It's your money and your responsibility not that of the betting company or the government.

Re: Is gambling inspiring people to work harder?
by

on 25/08/2025, 22:17:35 UTC
Well since they are gambling responsibly without getting addicted or borrowing money is fine. Honestly, I would boldly said that they are doing well because not all gamblers that can easily do this without getting addicted to gambling. However, just like they always said that gambling is a personal decision that is the real truth about it because as a gambler that knows what gambling is all about would always gamble responsibly because there is no amount of advice that can easily change a gambler if them didn't decide by themselves.

Gambling isn't inspiring people to work hard instead it's inspiring people to be too focused on getting quick money and wanting to make money without working hard. Gambling gives you money that you'll want to spend anyhow you want because you didn't stress yourself to get the money. Gambling isn't bad but people are using it in a negative way and this is making them now thinking that gambling is a negative thing to do. With appropriate planning and mastering the act of controlling our emotions, we won't have issues gambling. You can be gambling but not make your mind to think it's free money so that you can plan the profits you made so well that it becomes an addition to your other source of income.

I agreed with that and Aside from trying not to use so much funds to gamble just to prove that you are a responsible gambler, there are ways and mechanism a gambler can put in place that helps him to automatically operate a d gamble with the ambits of a responsible gambler, that covers more than not just using Money carelessly being the determinant factor to say a person is an irresponsible gambler.

Agreed, we don't have to prove to any one that we're responsible gamblers, it'll show in the way we gamble and being responsible benefits is more hence we have all reasons to be that way. When we budget, our expenses shouldn't exceed a small percentage of our income, we can't chase losses or get triggered because we lost some money, our decision making should be that of someone that's not relying on the game that they're playing but like someone that's enjoying themselves because that's what we should be doing when gambling. Responsible gamblers are those that stay in profits more because they're in control and that should be what we're known for as gamblers.

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

There’s a popular saying that birds of a feather flock together. Does this apply to your gambling experience? What I mean is, do you have more gambling friends with whom you can share your earnings or strategy, or do you prefer to be on your own, not telling anyone that you gamble?

I have gambling buddies and we go out together to gamble whenever we feel like. Some weeks we share codes and crosscheck the matches we choose to play. When we have similar choices, we double down money on those games because it's like we might get good returns from that game and most times, this has worked out for us but we have some days that we loss.

Gambling for me and my buddies are like fun activities we have although sometimes we play it to see who makes the biggest money and the individual gets to sponsor the entertainment for that day by buying drinks and food. Gambling with your friend is better than gambling alone. With this strategy we get to make the games fun despite we losing the game.

Re: Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

Due to the age we are in there are some things that are being normalized which is okay actually but they have lots of downsides and one of them is giving kids access to mobile phones and other types of gadgets, this makes them open to explore certain things...as a parent if you decide to give your kid a phone or laptop do your best to make sure that some things would be inaccessible for that childs own good

Children should be allowed to be children hence there are somethings we shouldn't allow them have access to. You can restrict some applications and website that are harmful to them. Gambling can affect our studies because we can get addicted and starts making decisions that'll make us to lose money instead of making more money. If we're still students we shouldn't be gambling but focus on achieving educational success. After that then we can get a job that'll help bring money for us and then gambling can be done for fun. It won't be easy to be gambling for fun without making any profits but you won't be angry when you're having money being made from other things that you're doing.

Re: Is your betting strategy set by you… or by your Bankroll?
by

on 25/08/2025, 19:28:09 UTC
Which means that you don't have an actual strategy that you set for betting depending on your bankroll? You only go on a random methods based on how you are feeling at that moment or perhaps when your intuition tells you to wager with 20% of your balance you just do so and it it says reduce it, you also follow the instruction. If that's such methods favours you, then it's okay but if you staking with huge amount at ones you can quickly run out of money.

I don't understand why people are gambling with big amounts of money when they know that they can lose their money at anytime. My strategy is mainly based on how I'm feeling because I can gamble with a strategy sometimes but other times, I can bet all the money I have on a bet. I'm not doing this because I'm thinking the game is a sure gamble but that's how I'm just feeling for that day and it can be the game that makes me the jackpot I was waiting for but other times I just lose and I act like nothing happened because nothing really happened due to the money I use isn't my last money but the one I have budgeted to be used for gambling.

Re: Earning salary or owning a business which is better

Salary earners end up spending their salary buying from the business owners making the business owners to get profit from the business while the salary earners end up with nothing.

What do the business owners do with the money that they salary earnings are giving them. They also use that money to pay for the services that the salary earners are doing. That's how the economy works hence nobody is cheating anybody. Let us not pressure ourselves into becoming business owners when that not our destiny because you can be earning salary but use it with intelligence and still be doing well for yourself. Everyone must not be a business owners as some people are good consumers. What we have to learn is how to balance our life that we don't spend unnecessary but be good with our money so we can always have some left for investing because both the business owner and the salary earner still needs to be investors.

Re: Can Bitcoin survive the next generation?
by

on 24/08/2025, 23:47:50 UTC
Bitcoin has survived from 2009 to 2025, which means it has had a journey of almost 16 years where Bitcoin has come this far through various ups and downs. It is expected that since the strategic reserves of various countries of the world have accepted Bitcoin, it can be said that it will be able to survive for ages. However, if Satoshi himself were to publicly make changes to Bitcoin or destroy Bitcoin, then that would be a different matter. However, if he remained behind the scenes or indirectly hidden, then Bitcoin would definitely survive for ages.

I don't think satoshi can do any chances to the Blockchain, he isn't the one controlling it. He might have created it but it's now being ran by the community and we'll have a say on how things are done. I don't think he did any thing to the code to be able to control it later because it would had been figured out by now. Bitcoin can survive this next generation and others to come because it f the community that's backing Bitcoin. We have very good believers in the community that'll help to avoid any misfortune to happen to Bitcoin. As far Bitcoin is still being traded on all exchanges and having the type of volume that it keeps getting, I don't think there's anything that can stop Bitcoin because the government still couldn't end Bitcoin.

Prediction can sometimes favor you or fail you, because trading is also a game of luck and there's no one person that is perfect in prediction, just that when you are favored, it looks like you're the champion but I tell you that no champions forever.

I don't think trading is a game of luck, trading isn't gambling that's more about being lucky. With trading, you're the one that's going to give yourself the circumstances to be lucky by being intensive in your researching. With your constant reading of the market, you can make the best decisions that'll favour you. You'll have to be good at reading the market and understanding how to enter the market at the right time and exist the market at the right time too to make profits from the market and to do all this, it isn't about being lucky but your timing of the market is the vital key. There's going to be trials and errors but with time you can become good at timing the market and always making a profit.

Re: Waste of values when you still holds your funds in fiat for long term.
by

on 24/08/2025, 22:56:08 UTC
It's no longer news that there is no merit still holding your money in Fiat currencies or depositing them in the bank for long term saving because when you are holding your money in any Fiat currencies that money is not actually appropriating rather it's losing value over time so the best thing to do is to put it into an investment that will bring return to you in value.

Everything is increasing in value hence if you keep storing that your money. It won't grow and that's how you'll be short of money always because the world had appreciated in things while the value of your money remind the same. You go broker holding money but increase in wealth when you're investing your money into different things.

The things mightn't be cryptocurrency but provided you're making a profit then continue investing because you need money to live a comfortable life everywhere. Fiats always depreciate while investments appreciate your money. When you can't look for opportunities to invest then you can put your money into things like Bitcoin that doesn't need much stress to make money.
