Once excitement is already there, to me, it gives me the thrill and wanting to gamble more. I'm losing my self discipline with that but it knocks me out whenever I start to have a losing streak. It's good on my end that it wakes up whenever I feel that way. Because setting up yourself before you gamble is needed that you'll have your own book and rule to follow. Easy to say sometimes that we can control ourselves but, once you're already on that momentum, I doubt that you'll have that control anymore.
Yeah that driving desire always managed to dominates and even you set up your limits there's still times that you exceed from what you set up for your limitation, though there are experienced gamblers who can overcome the situation, and manage to make a hard stop, while other gamblers will push forward andkeep adding more money to chase for their loses.
It's easy to say just like you mention but when you are already in the situation, its tough to control as the lust and desire inside you already dominated, the next thing that you will notice is you've got empty pocket and it was late to regret whatever decision you made to push forward.
No body gives you power but it is taken from the people by those that need it. It is taken from the poor, the rich, middle class, religion, ethnic groups,weaker countries etc.If you need power especially politicians and world power countries,these people can go to any length to make sure they get that power. Check out what is happening in Russia and Ukraine ,Isreal and the Palestine. Each country is showing power either by technology or man power.
In counties that have democracy, the power is in the people. And that's what these politicians makes them power hunger. In a simple publicity stunt, they are praised and loved and they know the formula to be loved by the most and to get into that position that they crave for the power that it has got. As for the superpowers, in terms of military, we know why these countries are fighting and that's to show how powerful they are and they can take territories based on their own belief what is theirs. They dont need and choose bilateral talks because that's too peaceful for their people. *pun intended.Being a proof of stake doesn't change that much with its use case. Many projects still uses it and I think that the foundation that it has set has made it even better. The use cases were never gone and it's still good as it was. The dominance that it has got in the altcoin market is still good. And no matter what we see on it that it's getting better, I agree that it still needs Bitcoin when it moves. Because without it, we'll mostly seeing another affection that it has got directly and the movement of it will be slower.
There were lot of expectations that moving from PoW to PoS will bring lots of improvement in Eth that will result in it's price but that never happened. Moreover the Ethereum coin supply in circulation has also not not gone down rather gone up which is a big question mark on efficiency of PoS consensus algorithm. It's a good opportunity for people who have bought Ethereum at lower prices and buying Ethereum at current price is not recommended because Ethereum is very much dependent on Bitcoin price for it's bull run.

I think such people definitely need to change their mindset, there is nothing in the world where there is no risk, everything involves risk, and success can never be achieved without risk.One thing to keep in mind, those who are never willing to take risks, then what will they achieve success by doing? It is never possible to achieve great success by saving alone.
Rather, if you save, your savings will only decrease in value over time due to currency memory, and you will never be able to achieve real profit from it.
To achieve success in life, you must take risks, take steps with a brave mindset, patience, research and risk management.
When we talk about Bitcoin investment, it certainly involves risk, but through risk management, it is possible to reduce its risk a lot in the long run, by maintaining the right mindset about Bitcoin, and believing in its long-term success, if an investment is managed effectively here, there will be a very high possibility of achieving success through it.
Anyway, moving on to the next matches I'm still trying to nitpick which match I'll look up to.
Undoubtedly, today's biggest match is between Finland and Lithuania; the odds are pretty good and, to be honest, a bit awkward. The win of Finland is x2.27-x2.33, while the win of Lithuania is x1.5-x1.65. A bit strange since Finland has a 3/3 wins while Lithuania has 2/3. I don't know why and how, but honestly, I will take it and bet on the win of Finland without any hesitation and without any spread.
Watched the entire Israel vs Belgium game last night (PHT) because of this bet. I really thought I was going to win this since the total score in the first half already 87 and Israel was leading by 15.
By the 3rd quarter, Israel even stretched the lead to 21 points, so I was confident about my bet.
I didn’t expect that once the 4th quarter started, Belgium would keep scoring and cut the lead down to just three points. Because of that, my pick of Israel -10.5 lost. If that had hit, I would've won over $1,200.
That's so close, my bet lost against Israel last time but this is really one of the heart breaks when you're about to win that $1200. By the 3rd quarter, Israel even stretched the lead to 21 points, so I was confident about my bet.
I didn’t expect that once the 4th quarter started, Belgium would keep scoring and cut the lead down to just three points. Because of that, my pick of Israel -10.5 lost. If that had hit, I would've won over $1,200.
You know what. A decade ago or five years or more ago, we don't mind about gambling with our Bitcoins. We didn't know that it's value is going to be as big as it is today. So, I don't think that gambling with it is a trap. The effect that it has given us is more of a regret than a trap. There is no trap if we're not doing anything. And with this, it only means that we're gambling to have fun and as well as to take some profits if possible. Someone who's going to gamble with Bitcoin is also about to win/lose Bitcoin. It will make that gambler happier if he's won with Bitcoins, so there's no trap there and no bias should be applied.
In short, it's still a choice for every gambler whether they will risk their Bitcoin or keep it for themselves and let the value increase normally. Some gamblers are also investors in Bitcoin. Let's consider them. What some would want is to increase the number of Bitcoins in their portfolio, and if they cannot buy more due to lack of finances, then I believe there's a chance they will think about gambling it. To accumulate more. I have had that kind of perspective before, and I gambled a lot of Bitcoin in the early stages of it because I wanted to hoard more. It's wrong, and yet it feels right if you double the amount of Bitcoin that you have.

The major concern is that there are so many motivations around us at the moment that drives us into gambling both on the forum and outside of the forum. because of those drive, it becomes easy to get oneself into gambling at any slightest opportunity available and unlike before that you can complain of lack of funds for your gambling, the casinos that runs her ad on the forum and pays directly to their betting site also by that means get users into gambling through such platform so easily.of cause, from the point of view of having fun, you can easily see casinos around to use and with the ease of access to your bitcoin, it doesn't stress too much gambling with your coin but the fact that most bitcoin holders are after means of increasing their accumulation rather than causing it to go down when they lose in their gambling makes bitcoin gambling a trick in a way.
Re: TON Blockchain: Hidden Gem or Overhyped? Let’s Debate Its Future in 2025
Ton blockchain have driven wider adoption of cryptocurrency and alot of newbies into cryptocurrency came in through the tap to earn promotion that came with multiple ton based projects, and the exposure of telegram cryptocurrency features, so for me it's a good development if the trend and development keep at the positive side going forward.
That's true, I've got a lot of friends who even got with the tap airdrops earlier than me. And to be honest, they were the ones who encouraged me to do so and so I did a few of it. I've invested some hundreds on this ecosystem and thinking that some of their tokens will bring good profits to me, specially with the meme ones. But I think that I've thrown money there and instead of profiting, I've made significant losses. I should have just bought TON and held it rather than went for its tokens. It's a mistake for me and it's also because too many scams have happened on this network. Not only from the actual Telegram channels that's been a den of scammers but also to its network. It's still new and young, there's more to come to it but I am not optimistic as the others about it.Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread
Finally the first matchups for TI 2025 group stage are drawn-
Dont see any upsets happening in the more favored matches, should be pretty clean 2-0's
All games here are important and that's why these teams are not going to just waste and let the others take them down with a 2-0. I am excited to watch some of these games because obviously, they're a lot to watch and I can only watch a few of them. I think if it's with some upsets, Parivision and Heroic is what I can think of. Na'Vi is also a strong team during the qualifiers. Too many teams to watch for.Dont see any upsets happening in the more favored matches, should be pretty clean 2-0's
Hoping for another run by a SEA or chinese team, that always makes TI so much more fun 
Yeah, also this time even if SEA is the weakest region. Who knows? and for chinese teams, they're still relevant and quite strong. If Yakult Brothers will reach a longer stage on this TI, well done to them! what a plot twist this TI. 
I've checked the odds and I don't think that I'll be betting on this match, it's kind of low for me to bet @ 1.22 but sometimes that's considerable. Well, I still have time to think of it.
It's expected to be that low since they're still the best team in that group, despite them underperforming as of late. Their game is currently tied 1-1 after another close map in Nuke, and i'm surprised to see FaZe are holding their ground.I've gone back to another M80 bet instead of a multibet between the favorites. Even though both teams are coming from an upset win, I still prefer M80's chances.
Congratulations! you've won it.The acceptance as per area where we at is one of the reasons why many merchants don't accept it yet. Maybe on special occasions that they are accepting it if a customer voluntarily asks them to get paid in Bitcoin. But we're already going there, more and more merchants we see them accepting Bitcoin to their businesses and so, they can also have it as a holdings. Some of those that are accepting it doesn't mind getting paid with it because they'll convert it asap through a third party.
Usually if individual merchants do it, they do it without the gov having its share of the pie in the matter, and that's what may bug them off.
For that reason BTC should be regulated to be an alternative to be used, not some asset that everybody just has - but can use too.
As Entrepreneurs we get into various business transactions. And consideration must be considered. Having the characteristics of money especially paper money, what's stopping you from accepting Bitcoin for your business transactions?

The solution to all of this is simply to stop gambling with real money and gamble with fake money.
That won't make any sense for a gamble who aims for profit if he's going to do that. But you're right, it's a solution for those who can't stand to themselves whether they win or lose because after all, they're about to get addicted from it. And that's why if there are demo accounts that they can gamble with, they should be happy and enjoy with that. Otherwise, they won't consider it as an actual gambling and that's why they don't think it's as fun as real money.You know what.

This shows that even physical investments can be just as risky if not more depending on the circumstances.
Anything that has a potential to gain profit has its risk. That's why everything that physical and digital investments have their respective risk. You have to deal it on your own when it's very risky at all and that's the reason if you like digital assets, you need to take the risk and if not, you've got to learn how to accept and study it. But, if you don't like risk, you're good to save money without having any taking risk but it will just be consumed by the inflation and so, little risk is still risk if it's within the crypto market or even the others.Re: What would you do if offline casino refuses to cash out winning?
Since the casino is offline, it means it is registered in the country of location and operating under regulations. The right approach in this case is for the winning to contact the authorities who will not delay to intervene in this case. Where this fail, I think a legal redress will be a suitable option to use to get the money. As long as there is no violation of any forms, the money is not supposed to be lost.
Yes, it's easier to sue them and just go with the agency of the government that handles the games and gambling. And they might have some fear about any complain that will be brought to them. If they're too big to be complained, just pile it up and the authorities will come to solve them if they often receive complains that are the same from the past that they've taken. As long as there's a noise, they'll start to do a better service if they don't want a bombardment of complaints.ethereum is showing more strength lately but i think it’s too early to say it will fully move on its own without bitcoin.. the market is still connected but what’s different now is ethereum has real use cases like defi & staking that keep demand alive even when bitcoin slows down.. so maybe this season we will see it acting more independently but it will still be influenced by bitcoin’s direction

But gold investors won't agree with that and that's fine.
I'm sure it will overcome Gold's market cap in the future. Just you wait and see. If we don't witness such an event, our kids or grandkids will. Hopefully, Bitcoin survives way beyond the last coin mined.
Current gold's market cap is $23T and Bitcoin is at $2T. We'd sure see that someday that Bitcoin will overtake gold as the number one asset globally and based on its market cap. The price of Bitcoin by that time is gonna surprise the world of how high it is.Just a fortnight ago, a Whale saw an opportunity in the ETH dip and decide to buy over a 100k ETH and stake them all at $4.1k; another sold his BTC and opened a long position for ETH on an exchange. Then suddenly the floodgates opened and more Whales began "dumping" to buy more ETH. Any obvious reason for the flow of liquidity into ETH? Be my guess!
While others were busy analysing the market, these guys acted promptly. Put that into perspective now; ETH has since reach a new ATH since then and hasn't returned to that "bottom" after those moves.
That's because with all of the pumps that we've recently have, ETH just made it. And so, these whales that have made actions know what they're doing and it could hit $5k before this bull run ends. If not, they're only taking a risk that they can afford. I think that guy who's sold his BTCs for ETH did it on hyperliquid. Well, good luck to him and maybe he's got already some profits from BTC already and so, trying to do more by doing that.While others were busy analysing the market, these guys acted promptly. Put that into perspective now; ETH has since reach a new ATH since then and hasn't returned to that "bottom" after those moves.
