Re: What is your point of no return?

a. Likely.

b. It's also my sign that I have to stop when I've lost all but I am not blaming anyone nor the casinos. If I lose, it's only because of me.

c. Not really. I believe that kind of thing before but it has no connection when I lose and I'm not using that as a sign to stop.

d. If I a come from a deep loss and I just want to recover, breaking even and stopping at that point is a good decision.

Re: Is it still gambling if you're sure you're going to win?

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?
Of course, you're staking money on it, and you are not guaranteed to win. And so, what makes you think that something like 90% of the potential chance of winning wouldn't be considered gambling?

As long as you're taking chances, you're putting money with or without a chance, you're gambling and that's the reason that we're all gamblers.

We're taking chances and even if we know that we're going to lose money, we still bet.

Re: Should I depend solely on Bitcoin?

It is actually very risky to invest in a single asset.
Not with Bitcoin. It is risky but if you check all of the history of Bitcoin, this very single asset is what many are willing to bet if it's just a single asset that they'll hold for a long period of time.

The part that scares me the most is that my friend has put all his resources into this one asset. If am wrong please correct me. Thanks
It's okay, that's his asset and that's his resources put into Bitcoin. But that's how a bitcoiner realizes that this is here to stay and that's why putting all that he's got sounds scary but he knows what he's doing.

You're not wrong and he's not as well. It's okay to stick to single asset if it's Bitcoin but it only becomes wrong if you're sacrificing your welfare, finances in doing all of this.

Re: Crypto Betting vs FIAT Betting

Some gamblers may not take decentralized or centralized betting sites into account. Fiat betting sites also ask customers for KYC.
But I don't know, I don't really care to compare crypto betting and fiat betting. They develop their market based on their own sectors. Fiat betting sites still have their own fans. They reach customers who do not have crypto and are not knowledgeable about it.
Those of us who prefer crypto betting sites also use them and are happier because we have crypto. Otherwise, we might as well bet with Fiat.
Almost all of them asks for KYC but except the decentralized ones, they won't ask for it. But are there enough volumes to maintain these types of casinos?

I don't think that many of them are in existence today, except the known ones. I've been used to crypto betting.

There are more users I think with crypto betting nowadays but this is one advantage of us, we can be on both platforms.

Re: Why are you taking profit on bitcoin?

Everyone is free to do whatever they want to do with their Bitcoin. To those that are encouraging people to keep holding for long term, that's a good advise and there is nothing wrong with that.

And to those who are discouraged but they have plans of selling, do what you want to do and what aligns with your plans. There are holders that have missed taking profits for so long and awaited for this time.

It's up to you if you will take that for granted or will take that moment. Some holders who have sold earlier will say that they shouldn't have sold earlier and the same thoughts might be said in the next bull cycles.

Re: When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?
by
sunsilk
on 23/07/2025, 20:36:17 UTC
What's usually your pick as a gambler since sometimes some persons are luckier than others?
We can't measure our luck but we can have some idea if we're going to be one. As for the chances, we only measure it with just high or low chances of winning.

It doesn't matter if the chances are low when we believe our bets and the games that we'll support to watch. As long as the chances are there and that's our favorite that have the potential to win, we'd go for it.

If the luck comes to the teams that we're betting for, then that luck is also passed on us and so our bets.

Re: Yet Another Scam Attempt, Impersonating Users on Telegram

It is already fishy when someone tries to approach me randomly with that kind of message. This become a common thing from the scammers that they'll enticed you with some amounts of money that you might not be able to decline.

And if someone asks me that way, no way. I'll just ignore it and won't even reply to them because the more that you engage to them.

They're not going to stop you bothering and they see you as a good prey that might fall for their trap. So, it's not with Telegram only but also in other messaging platforms.
You are absolutely right to be suspicious if someone you do not know offers you money out of nowhere. It is common trick used by scammers to tempt people. Best thing to do is ignore and not reply and report and block them because if you talk to them they will see you as easy target and keep bothering you. This is not just problem on Telegram but on all messaging apps so staying alert and cutting off contact right away is safest way to protect yourself.
Don't entertain people that you don't know and going to come by out of nowhere. They have sure a bad intention why they have approached you randomly with some offer of making money.

That's odd isn't it? and that's why this trick is starting to be known by many of us. But it's just sad that we always have newbies coming in and they're the targets at most times.

So, we have to continue letting others of how the trick goes with such messages.

Re: Body positivity / Fat acceptance
by
sunsilk
on 23/07/2025, 07:17:00 UTC
Body shaming has become one of the hardest bullying that's hard to accept. I think being in a group and forum that has the same condition but want to change their lives, it's about the motivation and not only the acceptance that they're learning.

But if they're already good with their body mass and they are altogether to accept of their body and weight. I'm not sure if the bullying will be gone.

To each their own but they cannot stop people from judging them if they stop and end only for accepting of what they are. There is nothing wrong of accepting who they are right now but don't let people put you down and do something for the biggest change of their lives.

Being healthy is also wealth and this also prolongs our lifespan. And to those bullies, they should also change themselves, learn what these people are going through not just to throw some bullying.

If we see body shaming from the perspective of bullying, I think it is a phenomenon which is likely to be here to stay, specially in western culture where we have very defined standards of what beauty is, besides we also have the constant information flow of social media like instagram, people showing always how pretty they are and always showing off the best part of themselves, when in reality, what it is shown on those social media are not a reflect of reality.
That is true. What the sentiments of the people of social media don't reflect to reality. But it's a good outlet that when people who are into this situation are getting some support, this also boosts their morale.

So, that serves as a motivation that they should do better and they need to do it not to please these bullies but to do it for their ownsake.

Actually, I recall there was a scandal a couple of years ago about Meta/Instagram ignoring the harmful effects their applications had on teens, and how it negatively affected their self-steem. So, in a world which has such high standards of beauty and perfection it becomes very easy to shame those who are very far away from those standards.

But it is very different being fat than having a specific body type.
These social media are also giving people the standards of what beauty is and what sexy is to them. This is the modern situation that we have to embrace.

And those who are conscious with their bodies and situation either have to accept or ignore it. I think that there are even cultures and places where even you're not considered that fat but they'd still call you that. They're too curious and it seems in a bullying way but a norm to their society.

Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19
by

on 22/07/2025, 05:51:06 UTC
I don’t really get why Mayweather is suddenly being brought up. Yeah, he beat Pacman, but he’s been retired and there’s no sign he’s coming back.
I don't understand too, but in discussions like this, when Pacquiao is there. Someone is going to bring up how he's been beaten by either Mayweather and Marquez.

After seeing Pacman’s fight with Barrios, you can tell he’s still tough to beat. Since he already tested himself against a taller opponent, maybe next time he can go against someone closer to his size, so we can see more of a toe-to-toe kind of fight, not the usual defensive style.

And honestly, no need to worry about his age. Manny’s already proven that age is just a number for him.
Yup. Age is just a number and this will also open him more challenges and fights to come over him.

Most of the viewers sentiment tells that he should be the winner of this and it shouldn't be draw. There are even rumors that because of big bets, the mafia has foretold that the result must be draw and not him as the winner.

Well, that's another thing to talk about.

Re: Have you been addicted to gambling in the past.

This question is for those gamblers that were once addicted to gambling and was able to come out from addiction.

How did you go about it?

Was someone there to help you out or you took the bold step all alone?

How long did your addiction last?
There was no one to help me out with my gambling problem. All it takes is realization, control and urge to move on to become a better person.

While it sounds like I am tough man, no I am not. But the acceptance took through a lot of days before I was able to get back on my shoe after being nearly addicted, yeah almost there.

What's your best advice to gamblers fighting with addiction?
Just don't stop fighting it. You may not see the results now but soon, you're going to see how effective it is for you battling it.

Re: Discretionary Income vs Emergency Funds: Why It Matters for Bitcoin Investing
by
sunsilk
on 21/07/2025, 18:17:06 UTC
That is why keeping these two funds separate is one of the smartest things you can do as a Bitcoin investor.
I agree. Both should be separated because there is a huge tendency that we will use the funds that are not for emergency if some bad times come.

So, it's important to allot and separate the budget from the both of it.

I would really love to hear what y’ll think about this, do you separate your funds like this? Have you ever made the mistake of using your emergency savings to invest in Bitcoin? Let us learn from each other. Drop your thoughts.
A few times before but that's fine on my end because if I'm going to use my emergency funds for investing. I've made sure that there's an upcoming money to me.

As long there is a healthy cash flow, I think that it's fine to do that and you know what you're up to.

Re: Investment is for everyone

on 21/07/2025, 17:15:17 UTC
Investing isn't really for everyone and that's why even if you educate dozens of people globally, not all of them are going to be able to invest.

It requires patience and not all of the people we'll talk to with are not patient. And not all of them have some money to invest.

But it depends per person on how determined they are to invest. There's always a way to invest. If they say that they don't have any spare money to invest with, then they have to find a way to increase their source of income so they can invest.

Re: How is wealth distributed through Gambling
by
sunsilk
on 20/07/2025, 21:02:57 UTC
so I wonder why the government will impose taxes in the gambling sector in the first place. They're involved in regulating the gambling companies all just to make profits.
You have answered your wonder why they're being taxed. That's because they're making profits and it's not a question that this industry is huge and casinos make a lot of money from it.

If it's not with the government, they're going to earn more but they have to share it to them where they're allowed to operate.

They've got no positive impacts on gamblers instead, they only focuses on giving licenses to the companies with the conditions that will benefit them alone while neglects health wise concerns and gamblers financial portfolio responsibilities.
It's another bureau of the government that has an assigned task to distribute the taxes that they've collected from the casinos.

Yes, there could be no positive impacts to actual gamblers but there are beneficiaries that are not gamblers.

Re: Don’t fall into the take profit trap $118.8k isn’t it.
by
sunsilk
on 20/07/2025, 19:39:40 UTC
We could have made nearly x6 profit from this increase for example. The price was 20k or lower back in 2022, so that means our bottom was 20k and less. We have peaked at near 120k, that means we could had x6 return. For some people, they invest so much of their entire money that, it would definitely make a lot of sense for people to just get out without a doubt.

There aren't really any big increases right now that is coming, it has to be very careful that we can do for the long term. If we can do that, like get out at the right time after there isn't any big increase left, then we would be happy. We are at 120k, so we know x6 more isn't coming, not even x2 is coming, so we can safely sell, wait for it to crash, on the bear run, and then we can do a better job.
That is true, no more big increases that will come and that's why those who are able to make x6 since 2022 or even more have to enjoy what they have now.

But that's for them to decide and we can't stop them from doing so if that's enough already on them.

As for the x2, it might possibly come at this price but it might take a couple more bull runs and that's the next cycle.

Since bitcoin prices are always fluctuating - then believe me, we will all have the opportunity to buy low and sell high. Someone who sold at $123K could buy back at $117K - they make a profit, while accumulating more bitcoin. It depends on how much return each individual expects - but if it were me, as long as I still don't want to sell then I would keep holding.

Of course, earning 3-4 times the return is great for an investor - but only a few actually achieve it. I haven't earned that much from Bitcoin myself - and you probably haven't either, unless you bought it way before me and never sold it at all.
I made that much from holding Bitcoin and that's why I am continuing in getting more so that, I can take back those Bitcoins that I've sold.

3-4x is great but once we get there, it's going to start to make us that we want more and that's the reason we won't settle on these cycles without having anything.

One thing that no one have taught me of is the DCA part. But I'm happy that I've been in the forum and many of the early investors have told that.

And I think that the newbies are also in the same phase, where they don't know this strategy yet. As they continue to stay and trying to learn and invest more, they're understanding how effective DCA is as a strategy.

The results are great and very efficient for someone who doesn't own a lot in assets but with Bitcoin, made me learn several things not just about Bitcoin but also on how to invest properly and proper risk management.

I'm going to make an unpopular comment here, but DCA is not a panacea either.

DCA smooths the curves of the volatility in the short term, but if we talk about a deflationary asset with great potential, as seems to be the case with Bitcoin, now that we've just touched a new ATH we can say that, the earlier you bought, the better. And the more you bought, the better too.

In a bull market, DCA only makes you miss the train. In a bear market, it reduces losses too, but in the long run, if you plan to wait for several cycles before selling (if ever), it may not be the best strategy.
It might not be a panacea to most of us but it's a proven strategy that could work for the majority.

If someone is planning to stay on this market for so long, they're free to DCA as early as now or they can leave this market for a while and just get back when we're already in a confirmed bear market.

But that's the harder part, last 2022 if we compare to the past bears, it doesn't seem to be a bear but just slugging market yet still was a fine year to start in DCA.

Been a minute since I came here, sunsilk you look like you're active here -- wonder why I don't see you in the other betting pools? Anyway, I'm a lazy one.
Not that much but just as you, I'm also lazy joining pools but I am into some discussions related to this game. I like reading there and getting some inputs before I think of betting for specific matches that I like to do.

Oh I meant I'm lazy to look up new offers and promos -- since I see you pretty active here, thought you might know what's best to look at on Betcoin given you must be betting on it! TdF? Women's Euro?

Not lazy to join the pools meself -- I join most, if not all, of the pools, asking why you don't. Discussions without a bit of money on the line seem oddly meaningless to me.
Well, you're right about that. Discussions without money don't fit well. I'm not mostly into bonuses and promos and just dwelling into some bets for the specifics that I do.

But I'll check out the other markets for you and others and will post it here if ever the rep misses to update.

~ always check betcoin's books and the promos that they have as well.

This is what I'm too lazy to do Wink
