As the topic clearly states it, what inspired you to gamble?

Entertainment inspired me to gamble. I gamble mainly for entertainment, I don't gamble for any other reason than that.  Although I gamble for fun, I only participate in one to two bets a week at most and I do not participate in any consecutive bets. There are many people looking for ways to make money based on gambling but I am not looking for ways to make money based on gambling. Maybe I'm still keeping myself pretty organized by not looking for a way to make money, otherwise I'd be addicted to gambling. I would say that one should always use a fixed budget of income for gambling and never use outside of the specified budget of income for gambling. Thus, if one can participate in gambling, he must be able to gamble responsibly and control himself.

Even though you have fun, I think you will be even happier if you get a profit or win from the gambling you do. Everyone likes money, so I'm sure you will feel a little regretful when you lose the bet. Maybe you can stop yourself from getting depressed, but the feeling of regret is definitely there, even if it's just a little.

Yes, as long as you are still able to bear the burden of the losses you cause by gambling, that's good. This means you are still in control and not bankrupt because of gambling.

Same for me, I am also not counting how many times I commonly check market every day. because it's often enough. Somehow it has become a habit that when holding a cellphone after stopping for a moment, the thing to do is open Whatsapp and then open the market.

I think most of us do the same. We don't count about checking the market frequently. It is not necessary to count it, why we must know it.  I only more often to check the market if I have a plan to sell my coins or I want to do daily trading. If it is a usual day, I sometimes didn't check the market. We know the market looks a bit sideway now.

Because I am a typical holder and don't make trading decisions very often, I rarely check market conditions. Initially, I often checked Bitcoin market conditions, but because there was never any impact or no action, I reduced my intensity in checking market conditions. I don't check the market, it doesn't mean I don't care about my assets, but this is also my strategy to be a little less emotional when there is FUD or when the market is correcting.

From my previous experience, my decisions are always messy because emotions are still involved. And my previous evaluation was to start using reason and mathematics to make decisions, rather than using emotion and heart.

jadi kalau bisa memanage keungan dengan baik, tentunya kedua investasi sama baiknya setidaknya saling melengkapi, tetapi masalah utama adalah dana yang akan diinvestasikan pasti sangat besar, dan tidak bisa menghindari hal itu.

Sebenernya besar atau kecil itu relatif, namun kebanyakan orang punya mimpi yang besar untuk mendapatkan keuntungan, jadi terpaksa memperbesar modal dengan harapan bisa mendapatkan keuntungan yang lebih besar pula dari hasil investasi yang dilakukan. Terutama untuk properti, sejujurnya pasar properti ini sangat ketat, kalau kita tidak bisa melihat peluang, mungkin posisi kita akan stuck dan tidak ada pergerakan sama sekali. Sales dan marketing di industri properti selalu jor-joran kalau soal ngiklan, terlebih ketika kontak langsung dengan calon client, setidaknya skill komunikasi dan negosiasi juga harus bagus, agar kemungkinan closingnya lebih besar.

Mungkin menurut ane yang lebih mahal dalam industri ini adalah ilmunya, meski butuh uang banyak juga, tetapi ilmu ini dulu yang lebih penting.

Both a wallet and an exchange.

80% in the wallet 20% in the exchange if you are not looking to sell.

60% in the wallet 40% in the exchange if you are looking to sell

if you do sell pull most of the cash out.

always fear exchanges many crash an burn or get hacked.

I still think the portion you explained is at a reasonable level, I might want to help emphasize that this percentage is more likely to be appropriate for a budget that is allocated to cryptocurrency only, because I'm afraid there are still people who misunderstand this percentage. Never assume that 20% is from all your assets in savings, investments or in the form of assets, because it will be too unbalanced.

What we need to remember is, no exchange has perfect security, so all sorts of bad things could happen at any time, including hacking or other things that can cause loss of assets.

I think I saw signs of a bullish market starting, opening with prices starting from $61k now to $65k... this movement has definitely changed market sentiment which thought Bitcoin would experience another correction, even though this was the starting point for the upward bounce that would occur for the next few weeks.

I am still very confident that the price will tend to stabilize and rise from today. I hope my calculations aren't wrong this time.

Bitcoin has a high price only because Bitcoin was the very first of the cryptocurrencies; there are many cryptocurrencies that have a much smaller supply than Bitcoin and they may not cost anything at all just because they were invented much later than Bitcoin.

Ethereum has its own specialties that make it attractive than Bitcoin, while Bitcoin also has its fans for many reasons. Actually, from a functional perspective, I am more in favor of Ethereum because the smart contract feature really helps a lot in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Although the facts speak that investors for Bitcoin are bigger and more numerous because Bitcoin is a pioneer.

Between Bitcoin and Ethereum both are the best coins at the moment, so if you don't like one of them, you still have a good choice of coins to use as an investment vehicle.

While these coins have not yet formed a graph like the Burj Khalifa tower, there is no harm in buying some in the hope that good luck will come. We often see other meme coins like this, there is at least one pump moment for this coin, $NOT is still quite cheap and the potential can reach x10 like other meme coins. What you need to pay attention to is never buy meme coins with large amounts of money, because these do not have strong fundamentals. There's no harm in trying your luck, there's no harm in losing a lot. If you're lucky you'll also get money.

What about you, do you think Bitcoin has a bright future or not?

I am still optimistic about the existence of Bitcoin and always want Bitcoin to become even bigger. There are some people who doubt it in the future, but I don't mind understanding them.. everyone has their own opinion and I rather believe Bitcoin will be even bigger in the future. There are still many large agencies who are interested in Bitcoin, so I don't think they will just abandon Bitcoin without a good reason.

MicroStrategy still seems interested in Bitcoin, which is enough to prove that there is still hope to make money from Bitcoin. It could be that this is still the middle stage for Bitcoin's growth.
