That is how centralized systems operate: they have their own rules, and they are free to make their own. It is as if they are saying: "We are the bosses here".

Well, we can't blame them for that, as they have explicitly stated it in their terms of service. However, this is where we learn an important lesson: with Bitcoin, we don't need to worry about "hidden charges"; we can even hold it forever without any charges. In fact, we can profit when the Bitcoin price rises. So, what other benefits are there for people to deny? Therefore, let us talk about Bitcoin, especially talk about its incredibly useful features. So that people know how many solutions Bitcoin provides, even very useful for macro transactions to micro transactions.

I completely agree with you. Basically, the government is paid to serve its people, and those deemed worthy will hold positions according to their abilities. They should work to improve everything in a country, and they should be able to address all of the country's problems. Essentially, the government is responsible for the poor economy, as that is their job. In my country, collecting taxes from civilians is part of the money used to pay them. So, I believe they are fully responsible for managing the country finances.

Regarding investment in a country, it is also the government responsibility to attract investors to invest in the country, and utilize those funds to advance the economy. Some local problems (such as thuggery) that can hinder entrepreneurs from starting businesses are also issues the government must address. In essence, a country will struggle to increase state revenue if there are no investors, or entrepreneurs willing to do business, and the country economy will worsen if its citizens cannot find jobs. Therefore, the government should be responsible for any problems that could disrupt the country financial circulation.

Honestly, that is what I have observed in my environment. From what I have seen, many entrepreneurs start businesses out of necessity (including unemployment). After some research, I discovered this term is called "Necessity Entrepreneurship", and "Survival Entrepreneurship" might also be part of it. Well, the same business competition occurs, and I have encountered many cases like this in my area.

I think we can also see similar competition in developed countries, but the level of business may be different from that in developing countries. Furthermore, similar business competition in developed countries may not be as concentrated, meaning there aren't as many cases of similar business competition. IMO, the problem in developing countries is employment. For example, in my country, many people decide to work abroad because it is difficult to find work, especially jobs that can improve one economic standard.

The problem isn't just endangering ourselves, but also those around us (especially our families). It is possible that a family member could be taken hostage by publicly displaying Bitcoin assets, and it doubling the risks. Therefore, don't even try to flaunt your Bitcoin; the risks far outweigh the benefits. The personal satisfaction of flaunting wealth isn't worth it, as the lives (including those of those closest to you) are at stake.

I gamble more often on my personal computer, and I rarely use my cell phone. When I am out, whether it is hanging out with friends, I usually use my laptop to gamble. I think limited access to gambling media can influence someone to reduce their gambling time, but it all depends on the individual. Accessing gambling is very easy these days, with just a compatible device, and internet access is available from anywhere. Ultimately, it all depends on one intentions.

Well, wherever and however we gamble, we must be able to restrain ourselves from gambling beyond our means, and must be able to gamble with good money and time management, to avoid the risks of irresponsible gambling. Many cases of misery in gambling are due to poor gambling behavior. Therefore, remain a wise and responsible gambler.

Personally, I also use uBlock Origin to block ads, but I use the lite version. I also use AdBlocker Ultimate + Adblock Plus to block annoying ads, that are too annoying. So, I think some people can avoid the malicious content of Google Ads, by using some of these apps, or ad-blocking add-ons. So far, I haven't experienced any problems using these apps, but you should still practice DYOR with the apps you use, and don't try to install apps, or add-ons from unknown sources, because it is more dangerous.

Basically, a person luck in gambling cannot be controlled by certain things, let alone by believing in superstitions; that is nonsense.

In gambling, there are games based on luck, and there are also games based on skill. In sports betting, we can look at certain data to analyze and increase our probability of winning, while in slots, or other games, we can rely solely on luck without being able to analyze the data to increase our probability of winning due to the randomness of the results. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee for gamblers to win every bet (in despite of analyzing certain things).

Well, every gambler is actually free to choose the games they will play and bet on. However, every gambler should be aware of the importance of understanding the risks, or consequences they might be experienced. Therefore, it would be wiser for someone to gamble with full awareness, and gamble with money they can afford to lose. So, I think that is the basic important thing to know, with an eye to be a responsible gambler.

In my personal opinion, patience is the most important factor in making a profit in Bitcoin, especially in the long term. People who buy large amounts of Bitcoin won't necessarily profit, if they lack patience, but those who buy any amount will profit, if they have patience. In other words, "The holder is the winner". Furthermore, impatient people often sell their Bitcoin in a panic (when the price drops), or they quickly sell their Bitcoin when the price rises slightly. So, this is an important point to emphasize regarding the importance of "patience" in Bitcoin investing. By the way, the terms "diamond hands" and "paper hands" are appropriate in this discussion.

Wow, another manipulation in the prediction market. In the news the OP mentioned, a man rigged a temperature sensor with a hair dryer, and maybe there will be more weather manipulation in the future. In this increasingly modern era, technology is increasingly developing, and one of them is technology that can modify the weather. So, I think there will be people who take advantage of this to manipulate bets in the prediction market, right?

Therefore, I advise anyone not to put too trusting in bets, especially in the prediction market, as there can be bets that are easily manipulated on certain events, and I completely agree with the OP advice.

By the way, I think prediction market organizers, such as Polymarket, should monitor suspicious activity more closely. Incidents of a fraudulent, or manipulative nature can ultimately damage their image, and they should think of ways to make their users feel comfortable betting on their platform. If not, then they might lose a lot of customers.
