Indeed.
 
There are really ways to get rich quick, but most of them are still hard to attain. The things you've mentioned such inheriting a lot of money and marrying someone rich, it takes hardship or maybe luck to get this done. Sometimes, inheritance isn't automatically passed down to the heir. Some heirs work their ass off to be acknowledged as worthy to the inheritance. Although some are lucky enough to get inheritance without doing anything. It's also to struggle to marry someone isn't the same on your social status nowadays since most people want a person who can bring as much as they can onto the table.

Winning lottery is such a dream too. It's a one in a million probability to win the exact jackpot combination to make you a millionaire instantly. It's not really easy to get rick quickly because it will take time and effort for you to accomplish something. Hence, you must work smart and be strategic in order to be financially independent in the future.

Numbers 1 and 2 clearly cannot provide short, medium or long term benefits because that is a gamble where it will be difficult for us to win. But for number 3, we still have the opportunity to make money but we really have to be able to choose investments or create businesses that can be profitable in the short, medium and long term. But many people still rely on gambling to make money because they think and see what other people get at gambling so they think they can get it too.

It is true that gambling is for fun and not for making money. So when we can make money from gambling, it's just a bonus that other people can get. But to get it too often, it won't be easy because gambling depends on luck. So, in this case, we should choose to invest or create a business to make money or profit to avoid the risk of losing big money at the gambling table. And even though investing or business also has the risk of losing money, we can manage it to avoid losing a lot of money.

Yeah, you're right, you can actually get rich overnight in certain scenarios, like when inheriting money, or marrying someone rich that shares their money, etc. Things like that.

Plus also there are the lucky events, where you literally win the lotto, or you just got lucky in a business, etc.

But in general, it takes effort in the right direction to become rich.

Even if you work hard all your life, if you're in the wrong business, you'll never be rich.

Getting rich would really be possible on these means;

1. Illegal doings ( not recommendable)
2. Lottery jackpot/ Gambling ( not recommendable)
3. Investment/Businesses

#1 and #2 then it would really be your choice but when it comes on being ethical then we arent that dumb on which one should really be avoided if you dont like on getting imprisoned on which
same as you said that it would really be a different topic because this is pertaining about committing a crime or illegal things or something that shouldnt be done.

Gambling is for fun and not something that you could rely your living or survival or making it as a source, if you are that extremely lucky then hitting jackpots might also happen.
Investment would be the best choice but of course there would be no assurance but at least it would be the most realistic way on achieving out that certain condition or situation.

That easy to access capabilities will lead us to lose more, I mean by following your statement, gambling online can easily link your banking information and from that you can quickly deposit money to your bankroll, a tough challenge to you in terms of controlling yourself and avoiding to keep losing more.

As we all know, when you already compromise and you already losing a lot, the chance that you will be aggressive and will try to recover those losses.

If you talk about shortcuts to getting rich through crime, that is different from the topic here.

Getting rich from gambling is difficult, especially if we rely only on luck, which cannot come every time. Even in the work we do in the office or as an entrepreneur, it takes time to become rich. Starting from saving expenses, managing finances well, having investments or saving, and others, we can slowly become rich, which requires process and time.

But if they decide to commit a crime, as you suggest, they should know that the risk is being caught or killed. They must be prepared for all the risks.

Taking a cab back to get the money to try and win back the lost money is a huge sign of bad addiction to gambling,I only imagine what you can do now that you can play online from the comfort of your coach or sofa.It is great that you realized it soon after and I think you are addiction free now.I have done the same but not taking the cab as I had a huge casino 15 minutes walking distance from my home,those were really dark times,I kept playing up until 2 AM at those times at Caesar Palace and I remember only losing money in a continuous way.Self control can only be learned through hard ships like these ones that puts you into deep thinking.

In my opinion, you're contradicting yourself. How can a person who has no control over himself control how much he will gamble?

A few years ago, when I visited land-based casinos, I took a certain amount of money with me so that I would not lose it all. I'll be honest with you, there were times when I lost all the money and took a cab home to get the money to try to win back. Of course that didn't lead to anything good.

Nowadays, when most of us are gambling online, it has become much harder to stop, because you have all your money with you when you play.

I completely agree with you because it is a vicious cycle for older people to keep gaming. Its like being so engrossed in a TV show that you can't wait to see what happens next. However, I believe that one's behaviors are more important than one's age. If they aren't careful, people of any age can develop negative routines.

Having a second set of eyes on your finances is a good idea, and I agree with you that it's a good idea in theory. Sort of like working together in a video game. You have support, but you must also have faith that they won't make matters worse. Keep in mind that this is your own money that you worked hard for.

When you say there is no short cut to getting rich quick, I will disagree with you.
There are actually many short cut to becoming rich, the question rather is, how many are willing to pay the price needed?

And lets not also forget that becoming rich too quickly is like getting married when you are not ready, you rush into marriage, you will rich out, else, it will swallow you, so also, if one get rich too quickly, there is every possibility that such riches will vanish before the person even realized what meaning he would do with the money to sustain it.

And again, short cut to getting rich over night is neither in gambling or investing in crypto, it involves other various means and ways, this means and ways may involve going diabolic, going against legal rules, committing a crime against humanity and God.

Well, it's true, this is one of the steps that a gambler can choose to at least reduce you from a loss. Everyone knows that this is what can save them a little from losing for a long time but the reality is that it is a pity that most active gamblers will not be able to fully do this. It is true, as you said, that the longer a person is in gambling, the higher his interest will be and the greater the possibility of losing or losing.

I hope that everyone (gamblers) including myself will always be consistent in limiting themselves in gambling, winning is a very fun thing but the risk of losing will also be very possible when someone spends too much time gambling. The conclusion is that not everyone can exercise self-control in their gambling because it is very difficult to fight the curiosity that grows in their minds, but they can choose one option to slightly reduce their gambling time. Namely by trying to find new activities or adding new activities every day so that indirectly our minds will be a little distracted from gambling, this is what I always apply to myself.

One of the most important things in gambling is self-control. If someone is able to control himself then he will have the opportunity to gamble for a long time. But this self-control is not possible for everyone. Those who want to conduct controlled gambling must not spend too much time in gambling. Because the more time is given to gambling, the more the attraction to gambling can increase. If someone conducts gambling regularly to a certain extent then he will not easily become addicted to gambling.

Leave it alone if they want a quick fix or get rich overnight to see the results they will get. There is no quick way to get rich instantly because we all have to try, and it depends on how strong we are. If we can find something that will help us earn more money than other people, we can become rich. But there is no short way to get rich.

By investing in crypto, you can have the opportunity to become rich after going through the process. But in gambling, it looks like you need more luck to win.

Yeah, absolutely.

Gambling is not investing.

The thing is that a lot of people just want a quick fix, get rich overnight, etc, and that's basically gambling. With investing you will probably get more money in the end because there's something being created, whereas with gambling, it's just entertainment provided by the casino.

In reality, the more grown up person is, the more he is exposed to get addicted by gambling. Young people havent seen much in their life, they have more temptation to do this and that. Aged people, imho prefer not to try something new or chance something in their life. So it is easier for them to get into routine for doing something over and over again. One of the things they do is gambling. And of course there is a chance that they have earned more than younger people, which makes they might lose more. That is why I think that for grown ups are harder to resist gambling and if they did not build a proper disciplined character from childhood, it is hard for them to discipline themselves.

Regards finding someone to trust your finances - that is also some kind of a gambling Why I think that trusting finances is the key to stay safe and less gamble - when two persons manage finances, the probability of making wrong decision, loosing everything is decreased. Not two times. But next time you want to go all-in or spend lots of money, first you have to convince yourself for such expense (might not be hard), but also convince the other person to give you money

Are you going to allow your friends confuse you on what you don't desire to do? You are already convinced that bitcoin investment and gambling is not the same thing but your friends are insisting they are, friend you don't need to prove anything to them. Addict gamblers are like that, they are use to arguing that way because you are not doing same thing they are doing and they want to generalize every thing together. But you know the difference by your self, why don't you keep to it and if you want to gamble by yourself you can instead of allowing them to persuade you.

Mate you don't need to always prove yourself that you are right, but if your friends still insist let them have a $50 today and gamble it while you use your $50 to buy bitcoin and sell who will have it after a week!! After this experiment,  we shall conclude which of the two will be considered gambling.
 
Wrong comparison here, I have seen people trade charts by looking at how candles are forming and for every green candle the buy and for every red candle they sell and you can guess the outcome from this was a total loss and this is what will be considered as gambling!

Honestly you selling dreams when you make it sound  this way, bitcoin investments aren't a one way street to profits.

An addiction is actually anything that is causing problems in your life by some repeated behavior, in this case, gambling.

Some people might gamble all the time, but keep it under control, and see it as some games that they pay for entertainment.

That's different to someone that just puts all their money there, and waits until their next pay to put it all there again.

Yes, but it is still impossible for them to tax every cryptocurrency fiat payment if it's an OTC or P2P form of crypto trading that doesn't involve huge funds.
 
If I understand you, the incoming bank transfer doesn't have to do with crypto, or a loan once it involved huge funds your government applies for it.

Apart from the gambling industry experiencing a huge number of users, the opportunity that crypto will generate is many if the government supported it.

I believe BTC will forever be a decentralized digital currency for it to maintain its legacy and reputation because it achieves its reputation because the government cannot intervene in it. If it seizes from being a decentralized coin it will lose its reputation.
About privacy, that's the exact thing I always do and the no-KYC exchange I always use for anonymous crypto trading is the Crypton Exchange.

I consider a person addicted to gambling if all the time they are looking for a way to play anyway under any pretext, they don't care if they spend a lot of money, some don't mind losing everything as long as they keep playing and playing, in that I consider myself a addicted person, in addition to some special characteristics of people, then sometimes they do not accept that they have a problem and that is something more complicated.

Casinos usually present their ways of entertaining and having a good time for people so that they can do their things under the time required to play, if a person does not play enough they will feel the need to continue playing and if we add to that the person has been losing his money, the player is going to get into controversy, less time and losing money, because he must recover, and that is when everything goes wrong and the big problems start, that is when it should be avoided.

For this reason, when you are going to start in a casino to play whatever it is or to make sports bets, you should consider that you should not spend the money you have for the usual commitments, nor should you make loans to gamble because the most It is sure that this money is lost playing, you have to avoid 100% of making movements given by impulses or adrenaline, because it becomes a loss of money, you rarely win when you play on impulse, the truth is that I do not recommend it, and I do. better and smarter to have an expense management plan.
