Re: Some people are thankful to Trump for Bitcoin's price boom.

Yeah provably it will happen know Bitcoin will always have this strong movement and demand continues to rise up even if they are out in the picture. But it will take few more years before it happen since usually we see a high bearish movement when there's a halving happening. But we can see that Trumps presence especially their creation of Bitcoin reserve make those things more faster and we see Bitcoin reach at $100k more faster.

Although it happen due to their help people still should not forget that these people is a total manipulator and better for them not to believe on all statement they release since if they can make Bitcoin pump they can also make Bitcoin dump especially if they already get what they want from it and want to eliminate Bitcoin for whatever reason they have.

No, the Bitcoin reserve has nothing to do with it, it even played a disservice to Bitcoin, because no action followed the signing of the reserve decree, they did not start buying Bitcoin and everything is in an uncertain state, when they do not even know how they will replenish this reserve, except for confiscations, which seems to have affected Bitcoin more negatively than positively at the time of signing the decree. These are all manipulations that Bitcoin constantly faces, but despite this, it still continues to grow.

Yes, in my opinion, the idea of creating a strategic reserve in Bitcoin and altcoins was aimed at drawing the attention of crypto enthusiasts to Trump's policies. Many crypto enthusiasts even at first realized that the creation of such a reserve is impossible without the approval of several government agencies for which cryptocurrencies are inherently a competitor to national currencies. Expecting these agencies to support such volatile assets as Bitcoin, and even more so altcoins, seems very foolish.

That bitcoin is fraud, and it won’t stand the best of time the funny of part it is that i was once like that.

I saw bitcoin as fraud and that was what delayed me from investing now here we are, reverse is now the case

I, on the contrary, immediately after reading the Bitcoin documentation, realized that this is a cool technology that can change the financial world. I was so inspired by Satoshi's idea that I plunged deeper and deeper into studying this technology.

The problem is that even if a person realizes at the first stage that Bitcoin is the future of the financial world, not all of us have the opportunity to invest in this technology at an early stage.

Re: Why the fear after lose?

I realize that, and of course will do better with my gambling. Sometimes, seeing other people's experiences is not enough to give a warning about bad things that can happen. Gamblers learn more from their own experiences to be able to control themselves better.
Losing streaks provide lessons for every gambler to pay more attention to the gambling they do, so as not to cross the line. Not only for me, but most gamblers who are still unable to control their gambling well.
Seeing other people's experience is enough for us to learn from their mistakes so we don't do the same as them. We can avoid what make them loss too much in gambling so we can just use enough money to gamble. We don't have to fear with the loss in gambling because that can happen anytime. We should avoid losing streaks from gambling especially if we don't use too much money. That is why we must be a wise gambler who know the situation so we can make a right decision.

In fact, a very small percentage of people are able to learn from other people's mistakes. The rest either learn from their own mistakes or do not benefit from their experience at all. And if we talk about gambling and betting on sports here even their own experience is very often does not help to improve their results because in this area is very much dependent on chance. None of us can be sure that his bet will win no matter how wise we are. This is the essence of gambling.

Re: What do you regret most?

Each of us has lost something somewhere at some point. Of course, there are some regrets, but remembering every loss is pretty stupid. Is it possible to replay it? Is it possible to fix it? No, it is not. Another important thing is that we must gain experience from our losses and mistakes and not repeat mistakes. The moment described by the OP, in which someone lost a huge amount of money, speaks of the person's passion. Having experienced the loss, he should have understood the reason for the loss and been more restrained in his emotions. If the lesson is not learned, there will be more such situations. The whole problem is in our worldview, understanding, and accepting experience as a lesson, nothing more.

Absolutely agree with you. A few years after the biggest loss I do not regret at all about what happened because I have learned a lesson that I remembered for life and which made me reconsider my views on gambling, the use of strategies and risk management. I am no longer chasing the winnings, but rather gambling for fun on strictly allotted for this money. I try not to exceed the established limits and do not try to win back losses as I realize that this can lead to even greater losses.

Re: Referees decision affects gambling

To be frank before winning a gambling match it requires a lot of efforts, there is not sure game no matter how certain the game looks like.
The win a game is already hard on its own now Factors like players and even refs are now contributing to this situation.

Recently a video was released on an incident that happened in the Video assistant referee's room in the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Olympic stadium. From the video you can hear the ref in Spanish appreciating the fact that the saw Fermin's hand hit the ball in the build up to the fifth goal that was latter then ruled out.
Not just this incident but the ref that officiated the game between Barcelona and Inter Milan are under investigation. This action from this ref always have a lasting impact on People's game that place a bet.
It's sad that modern day football isn't still fair and can be altered.

Any action that can affect the outcome of the game will have a big effect on our bets. And referees in most cases can make some careless decisions that can ruin the match. These days it is important to check the history of the officials before placing bets. Care should be taken when placing bets on games that will be officiated by controversial referees. There are also officials who have been rumored to be secret supporters of certain clubs.

There are reports that Szymon Marciniak was the favorite to officiate the Champions League finals between Inter Milan and PSG. But he was not given the role because of some controversial decisions he made in the semi-final match. Anyone who is expecting the officiating of football to be accurate and fair should have a rethink because humans are imperfect hence there will always be errors.

Absolutely agree. As long as people are involved in officiating sports games there will be disputes about this or that decision, mistakes and corrupt decisions are possible. In my opinion, there is no escape from this. VAR system really helps to solve some controversial moments, but in my opinion sometimes it is not enough. It is quite possible that in the future sports matches will be held without referees, and controversial moments will be considered with the help of AI. By the way I think even if this happens fans and bettors will still disagree with some points.

Re: Gambling not trust worthy

One of the things that I have seen that people should not trust is gambling because gambling is one thing that has done more harm than good by my assessment because looking at the winning percentage compared to those who lose it's worth not it because the winning percentage is two over hundreds which is charactarized by luck and chance so the next time you think about gambling know that you are going against thousands of people who are also looking for a way that they can get lucky in trying to win just like you so please gambling is not worth it don't kill yourself anymore trying to win anymore.
The wrong thing about gambling is that people already assume that they can make more money. People gamble because they believe what these influencers are saying. Too bad they get caught in such lies and get fooled by sweet promises.

Honestly, we can say that gambling is bad, nor do we crucify it for suffering losses. Because it is our choice to gamble in the first place. In fact, we have been warned of possible losses, but what we did was just ignore them and continue.

We have no reason to blame gambling but ourselves.

When I started gambling there were no influencers. In fact, at that time no one even had cell phones or the Internet. We gambled in the street just to have fun. Some people became addicted because of their predisposition to risk, psychology and greed, others could easily control themselves. I don't understand how one can distrust gambling. I can distrust a certain bookmaker or casino, but I cannot distrust gambling.

On the fact that each of us is responsible for our own actions I completely agree with you. No one pulls us by the hand to the casino/bookmaker. It's our conscious choice and we are responsible for the unsuccessful gambling session or betting.

In my opinion, you should think about security not when everyone around you knows that you store a significant amount of bitcoins in your wallets, but already when you are thinking about buying bitcoins. If you don't have a family of your own then as an option, you can use multi-signature or start a second wallet with a small amount in case of physical violence from extortionists. But really, I think that when a person or their relatives are kidnapped and physically harmed, they are willing to give everything they have just to stay alive. Don't tell people around you that you know something about cryptocurrencies, and then you will probably never encounter kidnappers and extortionists.

Re: Do gambler's really need a reserve balance?

I try not to keep reserves for gambling, as I know from experience that no matter how much reserve you have there is always a chance of losing everything you have. I limit my deposit and gamble until I either lose it or increase it. Lately, I try to end a gambling session even if I increase my deposit by 20-30%. In my opinion, it helps to raise your level of discipline, which we all often lack in gambling.

There is no set goal in gambling, this is something every gambler should understand, first of all gamblers start gambling to double or triple their money, but when they lose their money, they gamble to cover their losses, they think that once their losses are covered, then they will stop gambling, but this loss is not recoverable, if you gamble to recover the loss or to profit from gambling, it will become much more harmful for you. Gambling has only one purpose and that is entertainment, and only when gambling is seen as entertainment, then it be risk-free.
Only after a long time did I understand that gambling should be perceived as entertainment and not to build huge expectations, which I had at the beginning of my gaming path. Because expecting big wins and hoping for them, it was difficult for me to stop, thus I lost more and more. Today I do not have such expectations, moreover, I understand that winnings do not happen very often, and when betting on my favorite team, I first of all want to get emotions during the game, and with a bet this happens even brighter. Now I am ready for losses and I understand that you also need to be able to lose, not every player can do this.

Everyone comes to this realization only through bitter experience filled with big losses, worries and sleepless nights and I am no exception. One evening I lost half a year's salary. It was one of the most expensive lessons that gambling taught me. Since that day I completely changed my attitude to gambling, imposed strict deposit limits and began to control myself. In my opinion, it is difficult for a beginner to realize that gambling is not an easy way to make money. Gambling is a game that helps to get a release of adrenaline and dopamine risking your money.

, but at that time I had no money to invest at all. A few years later, I occasionally have some spare money with which I partially buy Bitcoin, but my goals are still as far away as when I first became acquainted with Bitcoin.
Don't you save money for your children? Don't you have any savings ,if you have then why not saving in BTC. Anyway you're going to save some money for your futureself. My advice will be that save that money in bitcoin. No matter how small that money is you should save.

Of course I buy a little bit of Bitcoin for long-term investments. But as I said before, the price of Bitcoin has risen so fast in recent years that my recent purchases are becoming so insignificant compared to my first purchases that it seems like a lifetime is not enough to reach my goals. In addition, I have unforeseen needs like any other person that need to be covered here and now. I am also in favor of constantly buying Bitcoin with free money, but unfortunately it is not always possible.

Not so long ago people were crying, saying that Trump ruined crypto, he triggered a bear market, crypto can’t recover from this etc

This is the most bullish US president the world will ever have probably and yet some people still can’t be happy about. This last bull run should be a nice slap in the face to those who had any doubts about the current administration.

And it only started a few months ago. I predict btc will see at least $500k/piece before Trump leaves the office.

You're right about that. Donald Trump is the very first President to embrace crypto at its fullest. His policies will surely "pump" BTC's market price all the way to Mars. An ATH of $500k is good, but $1m is even better. Even if BTC doesn't go that high before the end of Trump's second term, many who bought before the 2024 election would already be in the "profit zone".

What I don't like is the negative effects of tariffs on crypto market prices. Maybe that won't be much of a concern to bitcoiners if trade deals are reached among the US' biggest trading partners. Trump already sat down with UK Prime Minster Keir Starmer to discuss a trade deal. Meanwhile, talks were settled in Switzerland with China for a potential reduction in tariff rates. These are all bullish signs for the whole crypto market. Would you imagine if Kamala won the 2024 election? Bitcoin would've had a hard time reaching a new ATH. The market would've been bearish by now. I think it's time to celebrate, right? Cheesy

None of us can know what would have happened to the price of Bitcoin if Kamala had won the election. On the one hand, Trump has a positive impact on the crypto industry, but at the same time he creates uncertainty in the markets with his policies. I hope Trump will agree on the size of the duties with the representatives of other countries in such a way that it will have a positive impact on the geopolitical global environment. Then we will be able to see a new inflow of money into risky assets. Then we will celebrate, but now in my opinion it is too early to celebrate.

I have long been not chasing welcome bonuses or promotions in gambling, as I have seen from personal experience that even something to win with the help of welcome bonuses or promotions, this winnings if and bring benefits, it will be much less than expected. In my opinion, this marketing technique is aimed mainly at newcomers to gambling. The last few years I am attracted not bonuses or promotions in the casino and the reputation of the gambling platform, which fully reflects the quality of services provided and the range of entertainment.

Why would you even trust gambling where you cannot control anything on it just the amount of bets that you would take? I believe this boils down to what you can do and the self discipline that one should have when gambling.
You don't need to totally trust anything that you don't have a total control over because the outcome may or may not favor you. It's not restricted to gambling alone, but since the focus is on gambling I'd say that you should concentrate on the one area that you have a total control over. A gambler needs to understand bankroll management and how to apply it when gambling because you don't know whether you'd win or not. I wouldn't advice anybody to trust gambling as a source of income because it is not a job, use the amount that you can afford to loose.

As much as possible, no one should make this activitiy as a source of their income especially if they are into classic games. I can understand if they are professional poker players or a long time sportsbettor because this kind of gambler can indeed make a living out of their respective gambling activities. But if you are into luck-based games, you will likely lose your bankroll and you need a serious bankroll management in order for you not to lose it all.

It seems to me that you overlook that many gamblers play for dopamine and adrenaline, which are produced in our body not only during winning, but also during the waiting for the win and during a strong stressful situation when the gambler significantly exceeds the risks. Gambling addiction is just provoked by the fact that the gambler wants to get these feelings again. Most gamblers are well aware that in the long term casino/bookmaker has an advantage, but still continue to gamble. This happens precisely because of the desire to get dopamine and adrenaline.

Many people hate bitcoin because they haven't studied the technology deeply enough. In their minds, Bitcoin is no different than a Ponzi scheme, so many of them don't even try to study Bitcoin. Only by studying Bitcoin technology can you realize that it is not a Ponzi scheme, but a peer-to-peer electronic monetary system that is independent of third parties such as banks or the Federal Reserve. In addition, Bitcoin allows you to maintain your privacy, which is a huge advantage over national currencies.

That's certainly true, mate. However, some individuals hate Bitcoin even if they have deep knowledge of its inner workings. Bitcoin can't be seen with good eyes by everyone. Criticism will always exist, whenever we like it or not. I'm sure Bitcoin will survive for decades (if not, centuries). Only if it remains decentralized and censorship-resistant, though.

We should just ignore what everybody else says (FUD) and carry along as usual. Banks are embracing Bitcoin, institutional investment companies are growing their BTC stockpile, while governments are devising crypto-friendly regulations to help spur the growth of the industry. Bitcoin may have its limitations, but it's the best thing there is when it comes to sending/receiving money in a secure manner (sound money). For me, decentralization and security/reliability is better than convenience (low fees, fast speeds, etc). If you want something else, use a "shitcoin" instead. Smiley

That's what I'm doing. I don't use Bitcoin to move funds because I'm not ready to pay $3-5 for one transaction and wait about 10-20 minutes if the transaction doesn't get to the next block, which happens very often. For fast and inexpensive movement of funds I use the Solana network. Maybe I would use the Bitcoin network more often if the Lightning Network was more widespread. Unfortunately it is not yet. The Bitcoin network is no longer the network that Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned. It is now a network for storing value, but not a network for fast and inexpensive settlements.

Bitcoin would definitely have reached 100k and even higher in this cycle without Trump, all Trump did was simply use his powers to manipulate the cryptocurrency market and thus simply provoked this growth for his inauguration, that's all he did. And now we see how after the correction Bitcoin returns above 100k again and this happened without any manipulation from Trump or any other political force. And this only says that, as before, Bitcoin will develop independently without the influence of individual states and the bullrun will continue with or without Trump.

Yeah provably it will happen know Bitcoin will always have this strong movement and demand continues to rise up even if they are out in the picture. But it will take few more years before it happen since usually we see a high bearish movement when there's a halving happening.

I don't think these people are seeking to manipulate the price of Bitcoin. Their decisions create uncertainty in the geopolitical arena, which in turn provokes investors to sell their assets. Naturally, investors are primarily getting rid of risky assets - altcoins and Bitcoin. This is followed by selling stocks. But Trump, compared to Biden, is not oppressing the crypto industry, but is trying to introduce it into the existing economy. At least that's how I see it.  Smiley

Some guys in the area are saying that Trump is the reason why Bitcoin got to $100k last year and even surpassed it this year. Do anyone of you here have same thought?
In my opinion, wiithout the US presidential election, Bitcoin would have still surge to $100k last year or this year. There's no reason to give unnecessary credit to Trump as the god that made it possible for Bitcoin to quickly catapulted to $100k. Do you agree with those people that are giving credit to Trump? What do you have to say.
Bitcoin price is determined by supply and demand, fundamentally it is mostly positive or negative news that triggers it so the news can come from Trump, or any other events. No doubt that we would have still seen price at $100k sooner or later, with or without Trump, because Bitcoin has the potentials but we can't deny that Trump's positive Bitcoin approach during his campaigns helped Bitcoin to be bullish at that time. We can't also deny that the Trump, ignited tariff war affected Bitcoin price to dump and when he paused it we saw a correction and price started to rally. The fact is that it takes more than Trump, to influence Bitcoin price, maybe what can take us to the peak of this bull season might not have anything to do with Trump, or America.

In recent years, most of the events related to the wider use of Bitcoin have taken place mainly in America. All other countries except El Salvador are lagging behind America in this direction. Trump has clearly affected the entire crypto industry. If we compare what happened in this sphere during the Biden and Trump administrations, we can see that the Democrats tried their best to oppose the development of the crypto industry, while the Republicans support its development. So there is no denying that Trump's actions contribute to the development of Bitcoin and the crypto industry in general.
