Re: The One Question That Every Trader Should Ask Themselves
by
mirakal
on 16/07/2025, 08:48:02 UTC
It is just the same as asking if we can really afford to take a risk and lose money. If the idea raises doubts in our minds, the best thing is not to continue. We don't want to be like those traders, and despite knowing their capabilities, they force themselves to do it.

If we want to succeed, we must also set our minds to trusting ourselves more than we trust the market. We know that trading is not just all about money and capital but also about our thinking. If we believe we can do it, then that is the time we pursue it. Or else, rethink it.

Re: Banning gambling, would this solve the problem?
by

First and foremost, one shouldn’t gamble if he cannot practice responsible gambling, otherwise he will definitely fall into gambling addiction no doubt. And with that, one is not supposed to gamble if he thinks that gambling will make him instantly rich, this kind of mindset is the main reason why majority are falling into gambling addiction.

Now is banning the best solution to the problem? Certainly no. Gamblers will always find ways to sustain their gambling happiness, so even if this online gambling is being banned, the fact that there are still physical casinos, then these people will surely gamble even more. However, although banning could lessen gambling addiction somehow, but never expect that gambling addiction will definitely stop, that’s actually the problem of majority of the countries these days.

Re: One click away: Philippines grapples with online gambling boom – and doom

I would agree that these street advertisements only fuel more gambling addiction. But just to make it clear, even before online gambling has arise, the problem of gambling is already there, as Filipinos have been stuck into cockfighting or lottery which definitely lure thousands and millions of people.

Now, that online gambling is just an easy access, even at the comfort of our home, much more Filipinos have fallen into gambling addiction. But banning it is probably not the best solution, but educating these gamblers from time to time and filter those games that are actually not healthy at all are I think the keys to control gambling addiction for Filipinos people.

Re: Dominant forces in the sport

In sports, there is always someone winning dominantly. It can get to a point where they are almost always expected to win. By that point do you continue to bet on those favorites to keep winning or does it bore you? Would you enjoy stirring it up a bit just for the fun of it and betting on the underdogs even if the chances are quite low?
Honestly, I don’t see any team dominantly winning in a certain sport, although they can win once or twice, but after that the chance to lose is always there already. However, if there are instances that a certain team consistently wins all the time, then there’s no reason not to bet for them. Why would I bet into the opposite team when I don’t see any potential for them to win, except if that game they played at the moment the chances for them to win is clearly high, hence my bet goes for them.

Where there is money, then there’s definitely my bet. As simple as that, no need to complicate. After all, we are gambling to make more money, that’s certainly our goal. Getting entertained only come as a bonus especially if your bets are winning.

Re: Is BTC to 150K still happening this year?

I would say that it’s perfectly the time for bitcoin to reach another all time high. No need for big news, hype or whatsoever that are needed to pump bitcoin, its just that bitcoin has its own timeline as well that it follows to reach a certain price and when it does, it will definitely surprise us with a new all time high that we don’t expect yet. What we have now is just a good example that will lead into $150k soon.

Re: Let's talk about companionship.

It depends on what kind of game you are playing. If it’s sports betting, I love to gamble with other people and share each other’s analysis on the game, but if it’s all about luck-based games, I would settle gambling alone. As much as I can maximize my own privacy, this kind of game also are actually made to entertain the player with or without peers or groups around.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to promote socialization these days when these online games can be played already at the comfort of our own homes, so expect that companionship when gambling will no longer be given high importance.

Re: Be a good example — CEO takes his salary in bitcoin.
by
mirakal
on 14/07/2025, 08:46:11 UTC


We often hear companies talk about acquiring bitcoin but are those CEOs actually using bitcoin in their lives or just accumulating for profit? This type of people, those who take the step forward, will help bitcoin be adopted better. Soon, others might see the benefits of receiving your salary through bitcoin as Tashiro becomes a leading example.

Just maybe, but I believe that if a person like the CEO you have mentioned is offering a bitcoin option for his salary/share, that means that he will make use of it. However, regular employees will likely just sell their bitcoin options to make a profit. I know a lot of people are already buying bitcoin, but it was not their intention to use it for buying as currency. The majority do this for the sake of investment strategy.

Maybe I'm wrong, but we're still far from realizing BTC as a global currency. But of course, we're going there.

Re: The regret of early Investors or the regret you get for procrastinating

One thing that is crazy to me… I remember having conversations at bars or during online chats with friends where they literally would tell me to shut up and that nobody cares about Bitcoin. This was when the price was below $5. Now those people tell me I should’ve tried harder. I’m like, “I literally talked about it so much you told me to shut up and stopped talking to me.”

Funny how you are crazy until you are lucky.
Bitcoin haters will literally hate it forever. Those are the kind of people who refuse to be open-minded, and now that you have proven that bitcoin is way more profitable more than they realized it, still we can’t expect that they will change their concept about bitcoin.

I don’t know if somehow they regret on not listening to you way back then and even tell you to shut up and stop talking about bitcoin, but for sure at some point, they get amaze with the hidden potentials of bitcoin.

There is nothing wrong with bitcoin now. I don’t know how you see it but bitcoin is actually heading to its new all time high anytime. So instead of trying to break down and blame the market, study the market well and try to create a more realistic and reasonable analysis. That way, you won’t fail on your bitcoin investment.

However, any time btc price may drop, that’s inevitable, and the only thing you can do is to invest at your own risk. Invest wisely to avoid future regrets.

Re: What's makes you a good Bitcoiner?
by
mirakal
on 13/07/2025, 22:59:13 UTC
Hello guys
Many people think that they have gotten it all just because they hold some amount of Bitcoin, they think it's a get rich quick scheme. Being a good Bitcoiner is beyond just holding Bitcoin. You need to value savings over spending, be patient with investments. And you need to live by the principle of earning value by contributing to the ecosystem. You can connect with other Bitcoiners and support Meetups and make real relationships but by the same time think for your self, your not swayed by influencers but by truth and data.
You are a Good Bitcoiner, meaning you use Bitcoin for the purposes it was created to serve. So in this case does it mean that if you always hold bitcoin you become a good bitcoiner? I personally would not say so in this case.

Yes, it is definitely a good thing that you will always be holding Bitcoin, but implementing holding according to a strategic plan is the sign of a good bitcoiner, and by implementation I don't just mean holding, rather it is necessary to implement and enjoy it by selling bitcoin plan wise.
If you are holding a significant amount of bitcoin, of course that won’t be a good basis for you to be able to be called a good bitcoiner. There is deeper meaning on it, and only genuine bitcoiner can relate that and can put  it into a good purpose.

A good bitcoiner is being able to internalize the ultimate goal of Satoshi the moment he invented bitcoin. You don’t do it only for your own, but you are promoting bitcoin so that others will recognize it and eventually use it to serve its real purpose which is to pave way for financial freedom, which means you don’t just stick with fiat but there’s bitcoin that would be a great alternative in order to gain financial freedom.

Re: What do you do with a good trading strategy?
by
mirakal
on 13/07/2025, 22:34:56 UTC
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?

It is a simple question but I think answers and opinions will be different considering that some traders may fear further tampering with the strategy, others will no want to wait until it fails, what is your style?

A strategy is only meant to be improved when it's starts failing but if you are earning a reasonable amount of profit from it then there's no point in trying to make it better. But overtime strategies don't always give you profit and when you start going through such phase you can make some adjustments. That's why you must always apply the rule of risk management, no matter how sure you think your strategies are always practice it
You can always find time to level up your strategy even if you are seeing it’s still working great. That’s certainly your own decision. But if you want to leave it that way, that’s also fine, as long as it continues to make you a profitable trader.

However, strategies do not seem profitable forever. The market changes as well as the demand grows, so you have to make adjustments. Strategies should adapt to it, otherwise you will be left struggling on how far you strategy can survive with such an unpredictable trading market.

Re: Can AI really predict the outcome of a sports match?
by
mirakal
on 13/07/2025, 21:57:21 UTC
AI predictions are not 100% right all the time, it wont be predictions any more, but a sure bet selection, which doesn’t exist, AI can only give you analysis of the possibilities in the team thaz ia stronger and possibility of winning, bit thaz is not a guarantee as sport games i mostly unpredictable.

So dont be carried away with the few winnings, from AI predicted bets, try as much as possible to put in other factors within your human capacity to support your AI work it helps massively, and bet within your limits because no matter how much efforts both you, and the AI put in, it still be subject to luck to win football and other sport games.
AI simply serve as a guide, not a real determiner to win or something that creates a real win. Although there’s something with AI that makes it a crucial key for a sports match prediction, but let us not forget that AI is just a tool, it’s a computer generated analysis, and that’s something that we can’t entrust into AI especially when it comes to bigger predictions.

You can use AI, but never as a final basis to predict whoever will win. Yes, it may provide history analysis, but it’s never god enough to exactly determine the outcome of any bet, especially when it comes to sports betting.

Re: Use simple logic to win in sports betting..

It’s like you are trying to gain an edge over the casino, which I don’t think it will turn into possibility since the house should always gain the advantage over us. Although some are really doing some tricks or luring strategies just to see their bets winning, but in reality, no matter how skilled you are in a certain sport, as long as you are gambling, you will never have guarantees that your simple logic will turn into a big win for you.

Sometimes, it takes even a miracle to win big, since luck alone may sometimes unreliable with gambling.

I would say there is quite better outcome when I am gambling with my good friends and share common betting interest. They open up their own betting predictions and I also share my own, and end up collaborating with them which creates more wise bets compared when I’m betting all alone.

However, I have my own skills and strategies in gambling, but it creates a bigger opportunity to win when more heads are actually working for the win.

Re: Changing strategy to win !

If you are betting on a skill-based and strategy-based game, obviously you need a reliable strategy to keep it working. Once it’s no longer effective as it is, then proceed to another strategy that you think will suit to your gambling style.

However, let’s not forget that in gambling, there are no assurance to win in the end. You are betting against an unpredictable outcome, so no matter how skilled or strategic you are, if the odds do not favor you, you will definitely lose the game. So just accept that losses are inevitable in gambling, but you can always try to minimize it with a right and productive strategy.

Re: gambling in prison

Gambling in prison is more of a kind of entertainment for them. Since no one would gamble for money, prisoners would only gamble for what’s only available to them like their personal thing, foods or anything that can be gamble and would bring excitement to both of the players.

However, gambling with money is strictly prohibited so their kind of gambling is different from gambling in the real casino. But even though, if their gambling activities suddenly lead to a fight and mess up with other prisoners, still it will never be allowed inside the jail.

You know what’s actually best for you, so push for it if you think gambling has only made your finances at mess. It’s a good, earning opportunity when you are gambling the right way, but if you are going through gambling addiction and that makes you unable to control your own emotions, then do the best thing you can to beat your gambling addiction.

Cut your access to your gambling apps, and delete them for good. You know it won’t be easy at first, but if you can divert your gambling time into some other productive hobby, I know you’ll get used to it in time. Discipline has a big role in fighting against your gambling addiction.

Re: Do AI trading assistants make trading easy?
by
mirakal
on 12/07/2025, 14:15:10 UTC
The use of AI has increased greatly in recent times and its scope has now spread to all levels. The use of AI in trading has been seen for a long time, but recent AI have the ability to trade with more intelligence. Although I support trading with AI in the short term, I will ignore it in the long term. Maybe the use of AI that you mentioned may not have been used by many yet, but with the change of time, ordinary traders will also do the same and the results of trading as effective as they were at that time will not be possible in the future. But if you can use your own judgment and analysis and use your own skills, it is possible to make relatively good profits. I am personally not interested in using AI but i think a good AI can be effective for some times those who want to conduct short-term trading activities.
AI is good for learning purposes, especially for beginners. It helps a lot to decide from AI recommendations. AI technology is no longer ordinary stuff this time. It is more intelligent and leveled up than before and widely used by many. But yes, as we trade, it doesn't mean we have to rely more on this than on ourselves. I agree that in the short term it was beneficial to use, but I don't think it was effective in the long run. For me, AI remains an option, not a main tool to rely on.

Re: Is it possible to turn $0.2 into $10,000 in slot and sports games?
by
mirakal
on 12/07/2025, 13:41:19 UTC
The possibility is there, but the question is whether our luck comes. Don't get me wrong, gambling is not designed to make us rich because we want it to happen. Some gamblers who bet huge amounts win more. Well, that is true, but we could also lose that money if we're unlucky.

Many gamblers thought that gambling was the solution to their financial problem. And they are wrong because this might be their nightmare. So many gamblers compromise their financial stability because of gambling addiction. We have to take this as a reason why we should be careful when dealing with ourselves in gambling. Of course, we can win, but we also have to think that it only happens when luck gives us a favor.

Re: Bitcoin investors will be the future wealthiest people.
by
mirakal
on 12/07/2025, 12:24:52 UTC
I'm not going to say they are the wealthiest if they just hold 1 BTC. However, if an individual replicates the actions of these large companies, it is highly likely to be successful. The character of the investor matters the most. Investing is not just about buying a lot of bitcoin, but it is also about how we manage it. This is a high-risk investment, and we can't deny the fact that it is just like in business, where risk-takers get higher rewards than a normal investor.
