This one doesn’t necessarily mean that you are superstitious. It still is logical to me because losing three times in a row must affect you somehow and so if you’ve lost then you should take a break for a while and collect yourself. You might end up too frustrated after losing consecutively so better to take some time off.

First of all, there is no event you can ever be guaranteed to win from.

Second, You are gambling no matter how small the chance of losing. Because of that possibility of losing, it’s still a risk and you are gambling to avoid that risk but it still exists. Honestly even if all signs point towards a specific event happening, it might still not happen.

Satoshi holds some bitcoin on his own but he doesn’t have control on all the other bitcoins which is why owning bitcoins is so safe. Satoshi can’t fully control the blockchain. Your coin is your own even if Satoshi made bitcoon, he can’t really sell your coin without your consent or knowledge.

Even if my efforts end up in vain, I would still rather try my best and give my kids the best possible life they can achieve. I want to be able to make sure at least that they can live a comfortable life even when I am gone. Some parents don’t leave anything at all for their kids so when they pass away sadly unexpectedly, the kids suffer.

Advisably, people should start teaching their children how to build wealth themselves instead of attempting to build wealth to leave behind for them. These children don't know how and what you passed through to accumulate whatever you are leaving behind for them to feast on but teach them to use their sweat to build portfolio for themselves and I assure you they'll protect it at cost from collapsing.

I get that. I would wish to leave a fortune but also knowledge. I don’t want to just leave money and let them go. I want to make sure that I have raised them well to the best of my abilities.

No matter how much he has, if he wants his bitcoin to keep growing he should just leave it alone and not keep getting from it. Without a source of income he will just keep getting money from the stash of his bitcoin until there is almost none.

I feel that as beginners no one really is 100% confident that they will win and we all close our eyes and bet even if we bet on something that is likely to win anyway. Your mistake as a gambler would be thinking that you will win for sure. There really is no guarantee no matter what the bet is.
It is similar but if you want to test out your luck then why not?

No doubt but before bitcoin reaches a million, we will have to reach $200k... then $500k... $800k... before a million. Bitcoin has reached far but there is still a long way to go. We can't just go from $120k to a million in a year. That would be frankly speaking impossible (I would like to see that but let's be real here lol). Anyway if you have believed in bitcoin since then, no reason for you to suddenly lose trust in bitcoin now.

How I see the difference between Inflation and Currency debasement is this:

Inflation more or less happens to all countries naturally. It just varies by rate. If a country is experiencing rapid or high inflation then it means it is no longer healthy but if a country is experiencing inflation at a low rate then it is still ideal. Why does inflation happen naturally? Because of the growing economy of a country.

Meanwhile currency debasement doesn't just happen naturally. It has to be intentional. Done by the government in a form of policy or something. Usually if this is happening, it is bad.

Honestly, if you are gambling to have fun a bot would definitely make it less fun and would make it more about trying to earn money or trying to outsmart the casino or the game. I don't want to use a bot because I want to play on my own. End of story lol.

Having multiple investments would be ideal as long as you pick them carefully. You wouldn't want to invest in many assets for all of those to end up being invaluable or a failure. You can pick only a few ones as long as they are incredibly good and profitable.

I understand this quote but at the same time, money is really essential whether we like it or not. It's the truth. We need money and without it we might not survive. So we should be careful where we spend our money on.
If you are betting with your life, might as well reconsider because that is something you can never take back no matter how much you regret it.

This is why it must be emphasized that savings and investments are not the same thing. Savings you can get from when you need the money but investments, unless you are ready to take out everything and you are already content with what you have made as profit.

It is hard to stop feeling excited when you are winning and you are getting real life benefits like money. If let's say a father started gambling and he is able to feed his family and buy their wants and needs because of his winnings, it is hard to control that excitement and he will surely continue it even more.
When you are high on adrenaline, it is hard to think properly and you might make decisions you will be regretting over time. So, calm down before you make another bet.

El Salvador probably wanted to keep their image as a bitcoin friendly country. Not only do they want to appear friendly to bitcoin, it seems like they want to be a country known for having a lot of bitcoin and possibly get investors in their country. I have seen some people doubt IMF's reports but what do you think? It makes sense if bitcoin has become El Salvador's political move.

If you are extremely rich and you can just gamble up to your heart's content, does the novelty of winning wear off? Like would you get tired of gambling since there's really not much risks because you can gamble with any amount and still receive little to no consequences?

It is easy to say but not very easy to do. Not everyone can control themselves unfortunately. Even if we say it is about discipline, it is hard to actually implement that. But your enemy truly will be yourself because you have to fight the urge to gamble
Some people may find it more helpful to completely cut off gambling for good. It really depends on what works for you so do not be too disappointed if one way does not work for you.

OP seems to think the website is racist. (?) I do not know how true that will be. Like you said there could be just some issues with your card or it's just not compatible with the site. You would need to check again but either way, this highlights how in times like this bitcoin really is the best option to pay online for less hassle.

1. Support from the government.
Countries who gamble a lot has solid laws protecting their players so gamblers in those countries can just freely gamble as much as they want without having to worry about their rights. This doesn't mean that the countries have very free and loose rules but it just means that they have clear frameworks. Some other countries have some limitations but since their rules are clear, many still gamble.

2. Bigger paychecks.
Not all rich people are gamblers but they certainly have more chances to gamble if they wanted to. According to data, the higher the income is in some countries the more people gamble in that country. Since the average citizen is earning a lot, even if they spend quite a significant amount of money in gambling this will still not cause financial doom.

Is it fair to assume that a better economy and a solid framework will make people gamble more but be addicted less? This is the source, by the way.

I hear a lot of young people wishing they can build generational wealth for their kids. The kids of their kids and the kids of their kids' kids. But is it really up to us? We can build wealth now and leave all our assets to our kids but how can be sure they can protect the wealth and make it grow even more?

Honestly the best thing we can do is to teach our kids and hope that all the things we got to accomplish for them won't be put into waste. Build your portfolio now. Invest in assets that will be profitable in the long term so you can leave this to your kids.

Yeah but back then 5 bitcoins would probably not even be worth $5. It is insane to compare. Back then 5 bitcoins probably were worth $2 in 2010 compared to now where it would be almost $600k. It is only 15 years and it grew into that. Imagine if you held into those bitcoins until now....

And secondly, sorry to go outside the box, because I would have loved to know what actually happened to Gavin Andresen? Because he was last seen on the forum January 13th 2023, and I also noticed the last post on his blog was published on March 6th 2024. So what happened, did he finally just left the forum to focus on other areas or ...

I can't find that much information but in reddit they talk a lot about when he went to CIA to present bitcoin. There seems to be a lot of conspiracies regarding that and with association of Satoshi as well.
