Re: What is your point of no return?

I'm more of a B gambler but I don't blame the casino... it's immature for a gambler to blame the casino for his losses...I set a bankroll so that I can keep myself I'm check and secure the funds I have, once my bankroll gets exhausted I can decide to quit for a while till I forget about what l lost without blaming the casino for decisions that I made... losing your bankroll isn't that bad as long as it stops there
Only if gamblers will understand that losing is not a death sentence. It is because they see winning as a 'must' that's why stopping after losing their bankroll becomes difficult. A good number of gamblers do not stick to their bankroll.

I do not have a specific bankroll I stick to, but I am usually conscious whenever I gamble. I am not dumb; I know when I have spent so much on gambling...both time and money. If I see gambling interfering in important affairs of my life, I pause to pay attention to what is most important.

Re: Should I depend solely on Bitcoin?
by
uchegod-21
on 25/07/2025, 20:32:23 UTC
Bitcoin is the king no doubt, but From my Point of view I think that depending fully on it might be risky to you financially. I don't recommend anyone to depend solely on Bitcoin or any single asset. Bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly and market volatility might impact your financial stability. It is actually very risky to invest in a single asset. 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

That is the fact. it is not a good idea for someone to invest in one particular thing because if anything later happens to that investment, all the person's money will be gone. So, it's not really safe to invest in just one way. Diversification is very important because when someone invests in different ways, if one investment does not go well, the others will act as a backup. So, relying only on Bitcoin as your sole investment is not ideal. Someone can invest in Bitcoin and also invest in physical assets like land, real estate, and so on. In fact, when it comes to Bitcoin investments, it's better to invest what you can afford to lose, so that even when the Bitcoin price drops, someone won't panic and feel the need to sell.
I don't know what keeps giving these newbies the impression that only bitcoin is enough for them. I just read a post of another newbie asking if he should quit a high paying job to focus on his passion (Bitcoin). Bitcoin is freedom; it doesn't stop anyone from taking up jobs or other investments. Investing in Bitcoin without any other source of income is a disaster; especially to a newbie who is yet to get a balance in the crypto space.

Re: Another Trezor Scam Attempt!

Beware everyone, here goes another fake Trezor emails sent by scammers!
This time they are claiming some vulnerability and patch needed for critical secure update, but that is malware so don't click or download anything.
Email was sent from interesting address:
Code:
info@car.com.au



SCAM!
Mere looking at  this email, I could spot the error in the mail. Any experienced person can easily spot this, but the concern is on newbies. There is more to investing in crypto than just making profits from it. Newbies are usually the main targets because of their poor knowledge of crypto and wallet security.

This is why I will advice those investors and traders who are already in the system to always let newbies they mentor know these things. Many newbies are scared of volatility and losing their private keys, they don't know that having to deal with scammers is the worst of it all. Everything they worked hard for can vanish in the twinkle of an eye.

Re: Bitcoin-Community-advice needed

I’ve been offered a trainee position at a major insurance company to become an insurance advisor. High salary, quick onboarding – very “appealing” on the surface.

Still, I have a bad gut feeling. The whole process felt rushed, with some pressure and big promises of money – but also long hours and hard work. It doesn’t feel entirely real.

I have nothing against insurance – but it’s not my passion. Bitcoin is. And I’m wondering if this is really the right path for me.

How would you approach a decision like this?
Appreciate any honest thoughts.
You can actually follow your passion in Bitcoin and still go about your job. You should let us know if you are new to Bitcoin or there are some levels you have attained. If you are entirely new, it will be exhausting for you to quit this high paying job to focus on your passion. Bitcoin is volatile; depending on what area of Bitcoin interests you, you would still need money to pay your bills and that job is necessary for that purpose.

If I am in your position, I will keep the job and use the money I earn from my job to DCA bitcoin for a period of time till I am confident of my actual stand in the crypto space. So mate, don't make a silly mistake now, you still need your job.

As the questions says, when do you stop? your point of no return?

a. at least double your money, then stop
b. you only stop when you have lost all your bankroll money and then blame the casino?
c. or you are a superstitions gambler, when you have signs like losing 3 straight in a row, then you quit because you know that you're having a bad luck
d. you stop when you are at least break even

I didn't include chasing your losses as obviously you might to continue.
Without blaming anyone, I will stop if I realise that I am consistently exceeding my bankroll and losing alot of money which is beginning to have a negative effect on my mental health and my general wellbeing. Yea, there is no motivation anymore to gamble further, so it's best to do the right thing before it's too late.

Even with this reason to stop, quitting gambling can be one of the toughest decisions to make for some gamblers. Especially gamblers who have won before and are still trying to win again or for gamblers who have already lost alot and are trying to recover some or all what they've lost.

I have not been addicted to a certain extent bas eon my personal feelings, except otherwise if some have noticed that in me which i don't seem to understand or know, sometimes it do occur to us that we are doing something wrongly without knowing or even observing to see what others may have to say, hence we should also now take time to review about how we have been gambling, this evaluation will help us to know whether we are on the right track or not in gambling.
I only feel I am doing something wrong in gambling not knowing when to stop. I have grown discipline in gambling and i congratulate myself for that.
Gambling is fun for me because I don’t live off gambling. When you live on your proceeds from gambling you will become addicted to gambling very fast.
Also what helped me is gambling with people who are also interested in gambling with discipline anytime I am stepping out of line they can call me to check and I can also do the same for them .
Control is easier for those who don't live off gambling. If you depend on gambling for everything, you'll stupidly ignore redflags even when they are staring at you in your face.

I have never been addicted to gambling, I don't even gamble often to get into troubles. If I was a regular gambler, I will take note of every mistakes i make so I don't repeat them again.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
by
uchegod-21
on 22/07/2025, 17:53:20 UTC
This thread reminds me of the argument I was having a few days ago.

When we talk about minors not being allowed to gamble, it's a general rule everywhere, not just in some countries, so if a child who is below 18 years has been gambling without the knowledge of the parent and he or she happensto win an amount which requires advanced KYC to be passed, if the child uses his real ID card, it will be noticed that he's not yet of age.

As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?
Truthfully, for the sake of withdrawing the money already won, I will let my child use my details for KYC. If I don't, he might device other means to scale through with KYC. But as a parent who is intentional about my child's general welfare, I must let him know he was wrong to gamble at his age and in secret. Subsequently, I will keep close eyes on him to ensure he doesn't gamble again, at least until he becomes an adult, then he can make decisions for himself.

The moderators cannot do it alone, they need the conscious effort of everyone to fish this guys out and ban them outrightly if the need be.

Re: What Does "Being Rich" Even Mean Anymore?
by
uchegod-21
on 22/07/2025, 15:56:43 UTC
Everyone should understand that there is a clear difference between being rich and being wealthy. Someone can be rich for one day and return back to bring poor just after that day. Yea, you can think about people who win very huge amounts through gambling. For the few days that money will be available, the fortunate person can be said to be rich. His purchasing power increases, he can buy a car and what ever he wants during those periods. Once he exhausts his money, he goes broke again.

There is more to being wealthy. Wealth involves assets and generational flow of income. Wealthy people have assets generating money while rich people work their ass out to make that money.

A good number of people we see around us stressing to make money are working towards being rich. Only the smart ones invest alot so they don't have to stress that much to make money. Being wealthy is freedom.

Re: 21 million BTC, is it enough?
by
uchegod-21
on 22/07/2025, 15:27:28 UTC
Yes, I also think it's enough because even if it's not yet the entire bitcoin in circulation and yet there are lots of money using bitcoin so I'd say it is enough. Being a holder of bitcoin didn't even have to be at least 1 bitcoin because you can even see some people discussing theg they don't have 1 bitcoin but they do have some bitcoin which I can say they they prefer not to disclose the exact amount for privacy concerns. If bitcoin can be made to increase the total supply then it can crash or decrease its price or lose its value.
We will still get to a point where 1 sat will become very valuable that one wouldn't need to own 1BTC to feel satisfied about owning BTC. Right right, 1BTC is already alot, so we can imagine already what the future will look like. Bitcoin's 21 million supply is perfect for bitcoin to remain a store of value.  Increasing Bitcoin's value so it will reach everyone sounds absurd  Grin,  it's not going to happen anyway because Satoshi knows better; Bitcoin is decentralized, so it cannot be altered.

Re: Trading by Influence
by

on 21/07/2025, 20:36:05 UTC
Whether you are being influenced the negative or positive way, most likely the outcome will still be not profitable at all. Trading should not be in a way of getting influenced, but it’s more likely of gaining personal interest because you certainly know how trading works and you have the potentials to trade. And not because you should be trading because others are making successful trades and are earning massively on it.

I have seen many traders that get influenced by what other traders are doing to start trading, and most of them go broke, and they are not even trading again because they don’t have the money to do that. Since then I realise that trading should not be because of influence; it should be a wish that someone wants to start his or her own trading. Because what I understand is that when you get influenced to start trading, you will definitely be looking for profit to live the same life as successful traders are doing, and as a beginner, chasing big profit will result in big loss.
I personally don't like that word "influence". Trading is not gambling, trading should be done with confidence and confidence comes from learning all you need to know before trading. Following people's influence will be an added advantage when you yourself are knowledgeable and can analyse facts by yourself. Apart from this, lots of mistakes that will lead to huge losses will be made. No trader should be that careless with his capital.

Alot of beginners actually learn the hard way not because they are just unfortunate, but because they rushed to invest, only to start learning properly from their own experiences. Learning from one's experience can be very risky; many mistakes will me made, most newbies will not have that patience and resilience to continue further.

Investing in Bitcoin is a journey; to avoid missing your way, it is expected that you come prepared. New comers into the crypto community should learn the basics first before investing. It's not just about the basics, learning some security tips is very important to avoid unauthorised access to their wallets.
Rush decision is what makes newbies learned the hard way instead of doing it at a pace that they can fully understand and utilize the things that they have learn throughout the time that they start learning about cryptocurreny. If a person didn't do that is that they will experience losses a d regrets like I should have created more than 1 backup of my wallet and I wouldn't have lose my funds and make a profit, I should have make my security increase then my wallet won't have get compromised by a hacker. So as you have said, basics is a must.
Yea. I was once a victim of my own ignorance. I have had my own fair share of punishment for being so impatient both in the crypto space and in another form of investment. I can still remember as a young boy growing up, I gave a total stranger I met online some money to invest in a ponzi scheme for me. Well, I was blocked immediately I sent the money. I learnt the hard way because I didn't do my due diligence.

Newbies who are in this forum are very lucky. Everyday they come across security tips and life stories of experienced investors. They have all the opportunity to learn from these experienced persons, except they don't read or just want to explore by themselves.

Re: Don't Cap Bitcoin: The Game Never Ends

Those who are limiting bitcoin's price to a certain amount or doubting if bitcoin can actually clock a certain high  price rage do not understand the power of Scarcity. We are gradually getting to that point where a fraction of BTC will cost a fortune. Can we see that volatility which many think is a disadvantage of bitcoin can not hold down the price from reaching multiple ATHs?

Many will call it mere speculations but they have at one point or the other unconsciously or consciously made comments suggesting that bitcoin will get to a point and remain stable. In terms of price, bitcoin has no limits as long as it remains a scarce asset.
Scarcity is not reason to make Bitcoin valuable and interesting for investors. Shitcoins can have scarcity in total supplies but they are not good for investment as they don't have good fundamentals, technology and their adoption is very limited or zero.

Shitcoins can not compete with Bitcoin and can not have higher prices than Bitcoin in a long term. They can be scam altcoins and somehow were pumped to higher prices than Bitcoin price but scams and scams and after pumps, there will be price dumps.
Comparing Bitcoin to shitcoins is unnecessary; they don't stand close in any way. Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that is truly scarce. We were told Bitcoin is capped at 21 million bitcoins; that figure stands, no addition or subtraction. This is partly possible because Bitcoin is decentralized and cannot be manipulated by any single entity.

As for shitcoins, they are centralized and not truly scarce. Because they are centralized, the creator can pump in more coins at will, disrupting the total number of coins earlier declared. You can trust Bitcoin 100%, but you can't say the same for shitcoins.

Bitcoin’s scarcity is indeed one reason why Bitcoin is valuable. Other reasons are still valid, but you can't rule out this fact.

Overcoming the urge to give up on crypto begins with selecting the right cryptocurrency.If you've chosen a 'shitcoin,' to be the right cryptocurrency to invest on then it's wise to switch to a coin with more potential(Bitcoin). As a beginner,you might learn the hard way in terms of selecting a right cryptocurrency. Investing in Bitcoin is a good choice,as it has proven its long-term profitability to its enthusiasts.Secondly,it's crucial to verify information about Bitcoin online to avoid falling prey to misinformation and FUD(Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt).Thirdly,set a clear goal for your investment horizon,determining how long you plan to hold your coins to avoid unnecessary panic.

Re: How is wealth distributed through Gambling
by

In my opinion, governments should only tax casinos and gamblers who win very large jackpots, but unfortunately, this isn't happening. Casinos and gamblers are taxed heavily. To make matters worse, governments haven't encouraged healthcare companies to train specialists who can quickly help gambling addicts. Now, regarding what governments do with taxes, unfortunately, many governments take taxes from citizens to use for their own purposes. As a result, the country doesn't develop as it should.

This is the exact reason why people stopped paying taxes in my country because the funds are not used for the development of the country, the law makers use these monies for their own personal interests. Taxes on gambling was almost implemented in my country but the law was disagreed by a lot of people, not every gambler or casino makes the same amount of money, so it wouldn't be fair for them to pay Taxes equally
We can all agree now that the government is selfish. If the government wants to legalise gambling, they should at least have a reasonable regulatory framework that will be favourable to the casinos, the rich gamblers and the poor gamblers as well. The regulation should also address how disputes will be resolved between any of these parties. But unfortunately, the government is only interested in taxes and fines. It seems that they are usually happy when  the gamblers or casinos default because that would be another opportunity to make money.

They shouldn't just take money from people, let these people see why they are paying these monies. This is why with the introduction of online gambling and crypto casinos, many would rather gamble in secret than pay taxes to the government.

I think this Manchester United Board and Management is not very serious, they’re always going for mediocre level strikers and expect them to perform at the highest. Rubem Amorim who is trying to rebuild the team should do so with good quality players, for Man United to return back. With the kind of players available at Man United right now, they will only aim for the top four if they can make it. They also need to reinforce their goalkeeper position.
So far Manchester United have made two impressive signings in Mbuemo and Cunha but I don’t think that is enough to help them achieve the season’s objectives. They need to strengthen other positions as well like defense and midfield even if they don’t want to sell Andre Onana.

Between these number 20s Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle have signed, who's going to be at their best next season?
I'm quite confident in Joao Pedro's abilities. He's already proven his quality with Chelsea at the Club World Cup. And I'm sure he'll be a prolific goal scorer in the new Premier League season with Chelsea. Besides his sharp ability to penetrate the opponent's defense, he's also adept at positioning himself in easy assist positions. He's adept at spotting gaps in the opposition's defense. And I think an extraordinary season awaits Joao Pedro. Chelsea are very fortunate to have him. And I think Brighton will regret letting go of a player as good as Joao Pedro. Besides his youth, he also looks very mature on the pitch. And his potential can still be further enhanced.
All these wingers are familiar with English type of football, so adaptation is not the problem now but the individual abilities. I am not sure of Pedro's EPL experience, but his Club world cup finals debut was amazing and I believe he will do more works for Chelsea.

Judging based on individual's ability, I think Kudus has proven to be better. His impact in West ham United and Ghana national team last season was great. I pick him above the rest, unless the team fails him.

Money runs gambling. It gets transferred from a point to another. From the poor to the wealthy, from the wealthy to the poor.

Let's first talk about how the poor gives the money to the wealthy.... They allocate a huge part of their money (which isn't a lot in the first place) to gambling thinking that this would be the quick fix to their problems. This is how they give the money to the wealthy in this case the casino owners.

But the money can also go from the wealthy to the poor. If the tax from casinos gets collected by the government and is used effectively, it can help a lot of those in need. The money can be used to improve infrastructure, education, healthcare and etc.
Gambling is designed to collect money from the poor and give to the rich. The casino owners are the rich people; they deceive the low income earners with very little rewards for winning and make sure that the games in the longrun favours them, that is why they came up with the house edge.

Let's not deceive ourselves further by believing that the poor gain back through taxes. Both the poor and the rich use the roads, schools, healthcare facilities and light provide with monies realised from tax, can we say there is fairness here?

For some seconds I thought that Bitcoin is now a ponzi scheme where we make money and become rich from multiple referrals. It is okay to discuss Bitcoin with those around us so they become informed and by doing so, adoption grows faster.

However, while doing that, we should avoid giving ourselves so much expectations. Teach people bitcoin if you want to but don't treat it like a ponzi scheme. Trade or hodl bitcoins if you want to be wealthy.
