No matter the fun and  the entertainment gambling bring to the society, for me the negative impact of gambling in the society is more than the positive impact it brings to the society.

Ways to mitigate the spread of gambling in the society:
*Managing your time - preventing problem gambling, is to manage your time very well and enjoy sport without gambling by taking a break. According to Canadian lower risk gambling guidelines recommendation, reduce your gambling to know more than four days a month can significantly reduce your risk.

*Managing your finance - preventing problem gambling is to manage your finance effectively and safeguarde it. Order procedures to manage your money: set limit, keep record, don't borrowing, and stay as planned. That's my opinion.

The title doesn't make any sense at all.
Instead of "Ways to mitigate the spread of gambling in the society", why not just change it to "How to mitigate your losses in gambling?" I mean what's the meaning of "spread" in that?

Excluding the word "spread", I think that what you said was all true. The lower the time you are spending in gambling, the lower your chances of getting addicted are and vice-versa. On the other hand, managing finance or in this case, budgeting is always a good thing to learn. I mean knowing how to budget might lessen your losses in gambling because you will know how much money would be allocated to gambling. Setting the limit and sticking to your plan might be the best option if you're a gambler.

Overall, gambling gives more negative things than positive things to a person, so it would be a better option to just avoid doing it or if you really want to gamble then at least have a budget for it, and stick to that budget whatever happens.

Now I'm waiting for alts season like everyone else and already bought BNB, XRP and TFS. Waiting for a good run to fill my bags. If unlucky, I can get my money back staking TFS they have a pretty high APY

Not familiar with the last coin that you said which is TFS, but if this is the coin that you're holding, then you might think twice because according to Coingecko:

According to GoPlus, the contract creator can make changes to the token contract such as disabling sells, changing fees, minting, transferring tokens etc. Exercise caution.

That alone is already a red flag for me. I know that developers can just do anything to their project, but to publicly saying that the creator can just make changes anytime he/she wants? I don't think that it's a good coin to hold at first place.

Anyway, XRP and BNB is a good coin to hold still despite both projects experiencing problems with regards to the authorities but nevertheless, both projects remained at the top still.

It's good to see a new face to win the championship this year. Out of the four teams remaining, I think Tatum and the Celtics deserves it the most but I have no problem if Luka's Mavs gets it. Anyway, how do you plan on betting in game 1 of the EC Finals? Are you going to skip it to see how they will match up?

Betting for the Pacers +9.5 @2.01 as this game is like a getting to know each other game hehe so i think even if the Celtics win game 1 they will not cover the spread. But i would love to see the Pacers upset the Celtics in the East Finals as i have a bet on them @15.0, very juicy to think that the Celtics is a beatable team.

Looking at the odds now, +10.5 is still very attractive @1.84 so I'm taking this one. This is going to be a close one, usually the Celtics started slow in the first two games of the series. And so this first game, specially coming from a rest, might put them at a disadvantage. Plus the Pacer are high in momentum right now after that big win against the Knicks and it shows their character.

Congrats to us bro hehe, it was indeed a close and exciting game. The Pacers almost took that one if one for that costly error by the Pacers in the dying seconds which lead to a three point shot by Jalen Brown that tied the game and went into overtime. The game was also a high scoring one so congrats also to those who bet for the "over 230.5" before the started.

As expected for these 2 teams, the score is quite high as they're the top 2 teams in the regular season in terms of offensive ratings.

TBH, I'm shocked with how the Pacers played in Game 1. If only Brown's 3-point shot didn't go in, we might've seen an upset in Game 1. I didn't expect that the game will end up in a close one. Well, I guess I underestimated the Pacers so much knowing how good the Celtics are. Coming into Game 2, the Celtics have a curse where in their first 2 series, they lost in both Game 2's on their home. Will we see it in Game 2 as well?

Because LTC have the potential to hit the price range of one hundred and something Dollar. I know there will be alot of fomo already.

So what do you think?

100$ during the bull run would be possible knowing that its price currently is at the $87 price range.
However, what's bothering me is that Litecoin is slowly going down in terms of market cap. A few years ago, it was still on the top 10 and correct me but there was a time where it was on the top 5 as well. Now it's currently at the 22nd on Coingecko, and I'm afraid it might go down even lower in the future.

The coin is good, and it has been on the top for many years already. In fact, it is one of the oldest coins in existence. The problem with them is development and decreasing popularity. I don't know, but nobody's talking about Litecoin for a while. It's all meme coins, Solana, etc. but not Litecoin. I don't know what's happening with the project as I stopped following it already, but I believe that it will go even lower on the rankings until it will make an upgrade that can make the project popular again.

Re: How often do you check on your Crytpo/Bitcoin?

I'm not a trader, but I look at my crypto portfolio at around 10x or even more on a daily basis.

Why? None. I just want to keep myself updated with what's happening with cryptocurrency and my portfolio as well. After all, I don't make impulsive decisions like selling my tokens when I see it went up 10% or more. I've been doing this for years already that I made it a hobby already. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, right? Looking at it when I wake up in the morning, when I'm eating breakfast, when I sleep at night. I don't call it an addiction though. It's just that, I just want to look at my portfolio and what's happening on crypto as much as I can.

8858% then 294% and then 540%. I don't know, but I'm thinking there's a pattern in it. Higher, then lower, and then higher, and then lower. I don't know maybe I'm just dizzy that's why I saw the pattern, but tl;dr is that my prediction is the price of Bitcoin will go as high as 2x its current price. Something like a 100% or more increase.

Bitcoin's price performance ever since after the halving event is always great. Just by looking at the history, you will know that the price of Bitcoin tends to go up months after the Bitcoin halving event, and I believe that it will happen again this time now that the halving event is over. What we need to do now is to just be patient and continue accumulating. Also, set some selling targets as well. Selling targets where you will be contented when it sells it at that price. Of course, be realistic with your selling targets.

My thought after decoupling was that ETH will fly solo impacted by it's utility and the general market sentiment largely influence by BTC.
The was expected to be a game changer but i think we seeing the opposite or perhaps there some info i am mising?

Decoupling? Ethereum decoupled with Bitcoin in terms of price movement? You're clueless with what you're saying OP I guess.
I don't know, but even Bitcoin isn't decoupled with the S&P500 so why you said that Ethereum is decoupled with Bitcoin already? Any proofs?

Maybe you said it because you saw Ethereum going up double digit percentage while as Bitcoin didn't went up as high as that isn't it? If that's the case then it wasn't decoupling, but there really are times where Ethereum goes up in percentage than Bitcoin because it's more volatile since it has a lower market cap. In the long run, both Bitcoin and Ethereum will move at the same direction. Going up, or going down.
