102  Economy / Economics / Re: Honda Now Accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum As Payment Methods on: October 05, 2023, 10:43:20 PM
Honda had partnered with FCF pay. Already they're a trusted service provider in the country which supports transaction on bitcoin, ETH, XRP with other memecoin Shiba and Dogecoin. Allowing customers to buy with cryptocurrency by Honda makes themselves on the lead getting adopted to the technology advancement on the automobile industry.

Already banking service provider HSBC have partnered with FCF pay which is a big thing. They have given the choice for its users to pay their mortgage and loans in terms of specific cryptocurrencies. This is really good to see cryptocurrency usage on the banking industry. Increasing acceptance have made service providers to stay active in technology and the same had paved path for connection between the traditional system with cryptocurrency.
103  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 04, 2023, 11:54:08 PM
Most of the time money is not the problem. It used to be the choice of making money that drives towards gambling. Once started to wager, the win/loss keeps us gambling for the rest of the day. I personally start to wager with few dollars looking for small money. As the prediction doesn't work as we expect, the loss makes you increase the bet value.

The spending difffer based on the financial ability, however going beyond the ability makes it more of a risky thing. In most of the case, the middle class people used to be the sufferer as they risk money that is supposed to be used for their living.
104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashing Out Thousands of Bitcoin on: September 27, 2023, 11:51:39 PM
This is going to be really tough, because when the transaction limits were seen high automatically there arises question on the transaction. With my bank I was investigated when my account started to handle transactions in thousands of dollars. Earlier I hadn't used to it. We can expect similar situation with majority of the banks. I'm not sure of it, but to convert the convert the black money into pure money corporate firms use shell companies registered and bring the money through them. Maybe starting such companies and investing on them and bringing it into account seems to be the better choice.
105  Economy / Economics / Re: How to reduce the price of goods on: September 26, 2023, 11:59:33 PM
I have been thinking and trying to analyze what is really causing the high cost of food in Nigeria, I came to realize that monopoly is the major factors, Nigeria government are the enablers. How can one person be the sole major distributor, government should welcome competition in the business sector, every business person should be allowed to produce.

Are you purely talking about Nigeria or the worldwide economy? As Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa if I recall correctly, however they are still relatively small when compared against many other countries outside of Africa. Unfortunately certain countries have been so corrupted and maybe classified as "democracies" in name only, as the leadership will often manipulate their inherent advantages when they have been entrenched for a long time. It's very difficult to build a strong country with independent judiciaries, police forces, institutions and politicians - taking generations or even centuries to achieve the right level of stability. However they can often be broken by people abusing certain powers in unexpected ways.
With most of the countries this is a big problem. Particularly with African countries the governments were the reason behind the destruction of the economy. Everywhere corruption and it ruins the life of the common man. There need to be transparency in governance. Even in some part of the country traditional methods of tax collections were there. These things will surely lead to ease of corruption. Another thing is the western influence over the countries, different corporate firms make deals with the government and take the natural wealth. What will be left behind? Will the people be fairly treated, No!! If the government is proper in its position automatically things will turn better with time.
106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When the fun stops on: September 25, 2023, 11:53:57 PM
That's right, friend, someone will realize that he has experienced continuous defeat, and of course he must immediately think with common sense about what efforts he will make in the future. Maybe if he knows he has run out of money gambling, a good step would be to just stop because he might not win if he gambles again. In order to avoid big problems, he must immediately realize that gambling is not always profitable but will actually be detrimental to himself.
A person who can realize his situation after gambling may be able to immediately stop when he sees that he no longer has any money. But many still cannot realize this and instead deposit other money to continue gambling. This was one mistake he made because it would only trigger him to continue playing without stopping and not being able to figure out what he was supposed to do. We must not be like those gamblers because we must really be able to control ourselves and before our money runs out at the gambling table, we must be able to stop so as not to lose a lot. We don't need to experience incidents like other gamblers because we still control our gambling so we can also stop before things get worse.
Indeed, this must be done immediately if he is aware, but it is very difficult if someone is addicted, he will gamble continuously without thinking about the losses he will receive, he thinks he is only looking for victory and pleasure within himself. I agree with you that we should not imitate the behavior of gamblers like that because what they do is very wrong, and of course their money will run out if it is not controlled properly and they will regret it after the money runs out and maybe they will get stressed and stop gambling.

However, there are also types of gamblers who are not aware and do not want to admit that they are addicted to gambling. I have a friend who is a gambling addict on online sites, he spent his monthly salary in just one night. He can only stop when his money runs out and he lives simply until he gets his salary next month. He often asked me for loans, but since I found out he was a gambling addict, I never gave him loans
Many such people never realise it. They'll be in temptation to gamble and these kind of people never make a win out of gambling. Because, they wait for days to gamble and keeps wagering unlike the win/loss. Even if they're on profit for the day their temptation don't let them to keep it aside so that they can wager the next day. For these kind of people what seems to be the better choice to get out of addiction. Self realisation, maybe after years of experiencing hard times he might change. Through rehabilitation and all it isn't possible to get out of addiction as his mind isn't ready to come out of it.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 24, 2023, 11:39:01 PM
Everyone stay away from gambling game then you all will be happy and happy Gambling game is very bad which will harm your family a lot and will also harm your life like my father gambling ruined my father's life and also my future is dark now I am now  I came back to this bitcoin to find light in my life in this darkness you all help me shine.
while I agree that gambling is not good for everyone, participating in it in moderation should be fine as long as you only gamble what you can afford to lose. I have been gambling online for several years now and sometimes offline too and I have to say it has been a great way for me to unwind, I won't deny that I had my fair share of gambling problems in the past but I like to think that it is in the past and I can now gamble comfortably without it becoming a problem.

sorry to hear about your story, gambling hobby can really become a problem if it becomes an addiction, it can ruin someone's life and the people around them.
Everything under moderation seems fair. Whether it is gambling or some other activity. This will keep ourselves remind on to what extent we can gamble and sets the limit. Everyone used to have the gambling problem, maybe very few percentage of people don't experience it due to their luck/continued winning. Over time people get good experience and understand well about gambling, but the worst part what they've lost before that stands high and to avoid that proper understanding at the beginning is a must.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: September 21, 2023, 11:59:26 PM
I'd never gamble in front of anyone in the first place. It ruins the mood and the overall experience for me. This is why I chose to do online gambling to begin with: to gamble alone and at peace without anyone in sight. I'm not sure about other people here but I for sure, won't gamble in front of anyone especially my kids. It's more of a personal preference than me trying to protect my kids in the future and I'd stick with it. Of course, I can still educate my child/children regarding gambling and its possible negative effects, but using a different approach.

always best not to gamble in front of them or don't let them know that you are into gambling to begin with. you don't know what ideas they will think about on you or on gambling itself. they are still young to learn the nature of this activity. adults at least should know their responsibilities when it comes to gambling.
Kids used to follow what we do. This is common with the kids, and we need to be responsible staying away from them while gambling. This generation of kids were much connected to digital gadgets and they easily find what we were doing. During their playful days they easily get interested on games, and the same could easily land them on gambling. For the same we shouldn't be the root cause.

When the specific amount gets locked. Will that gets added to the circulation or it gets to the list of addresses that hold good sum of bitcoin that are idle for long term. Something similar to that of the lost wallets where we don't have control.

We have good number of wallets and most of them were much user friendly. Beyond that, it is the proper education and having a demonstration tab that helps with anyone use the features easy.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: September 18, 2023, 11:00:00 PM
Gambling is not for the faint of heart and not what you should do with your whole being, you need some principles to be able to gamble and still remain sane.
You may be right about lacking the courage but that's not what it is. Gambling is not for people who are not mature enough to understand the concept of the game and control their buzz.
3 weeks ago I gambled alot, and made a huge profit, next made less profit, and last week I made a huge loss. If I don't understand the game concept I will continue playing when I need to stop for some time until when I am lucky again.
You've taken a break in between. Not everyone have the right understanding about gambling. The focus will be much into money making and they never want to lose. We should keep ourselves prepared to experience anything. If we don't have mind then gambling is not for us. Once after losing, gamblers intend to spend beyond their limit to recover the lost fund. As said it is possible to stay away from gambling, if a person have got the control over him and know his limits.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: September 16, 2023, 10:10:15 PM
that you already save a decent amount of money though not only the money is at risk but also your roster who you spend a lot of time and money to prepare for the big event that may bring you luck or the other side of the outcome.
Yes, putting the cock in good shape before the battle saves you the risk of losing your fighting cock, and ultimately losing the bet also, I hard these games are staked with a high amount, the amount that is worth higher than the value of the cock in multiple times, this has also been the major reasons why those cock owners take a long period to train and equipped their cocks before the big events.
More also losing means your animal is gone, because in most cases, not all the cocks survive the battle and come out alive.

Cockfighting enthusiasts often view their roosters as prized athletes, and the outcome of a match can be both financially and emotionally significant. As with any form of betting or competition, it's crucial to approach cockfighting responsibly, recognizing that success is not guaranteed, and there are inherent risks involved. It's truly like conditioning a boxer to a ring. But this time with a cock to fight.
Agreed, the roosters were given importance same as the boxers. In most of the countries this is much played on the village side. In those regions these events were much connected with the tradition, which makes cockfight emotionally connected one than just a sport or an event. Every form of gambling have got risks associated with it. With cockfight the risk is high, that the people spend money from their daily bread.

113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 16, 2023, 05:17:45 AM

Al Hilal showed how great they are on the field in every match even though they won big but I was a little disappointed because Neymar couldn't score a goal for Al Hilal but what an amazing performance he always put pressure on Al Riyadh which difficult for them to keep up with the Al Hilal squad play.
Talking about the meeting of Al Hilal and Al Nassr which might make top European players from both teams compete it could be a match that we have been waiting for but their schedule is still quite long namely next November so we have to be patient waiting.

Ronaldo and Neymar are two stars who have very good playing skills and when they meet they can make more people watch this match and we will have difficulty later in determining who is the strongest for the Saudi Pro League.

Based on my observations at least Al-Hilal could score 10 goals or more but the Al-Riyadh goalkeeper managed to save several shots, his efforts should be appreciated. Neymar hasn't scored yet but we remember this is his first time playing so it may take time to adapt and there are exceptions, Al-Hilal has now scored 20 goals in 6 matches or an average of 3.5 goals in each match this record surpasses Al-Ittihad 16 goals in 6 matches while Al-Nassr has scored 15 goals but has only played 5 matches and today Al-Nassr will play the 6th match.
Every match of Al-Hilal used to be high scoring one. Only against Al-Feiha it drew the match with goal count 1-1. With 5 wins and a draw it stands at the top of the points table. In the match against Al-Feiha the goal came for Al-Feiha in the 15th minute and soon after that Al-Hilal got its goal in the 20th minute. Further Al-Hilal tried its best but they weren't able to convert their shots into goals. Al-Hilal is one among the team that had spent big on players and it is gaining good progress.

Just a way to share important news associated with the upcoming games and incidents that had happened with different players. Most of the news I've shared were discussed on the respective boards. I've just combined it, someone who isn't much into sports related activities could get to know something happening in the sporting industry. If this isn't necessary anymore I would lock the thread based on the users interest.

118  Economy / Economics / Re: Which is better, staking or investing? on: June 07, 2023, 11:58:22 PM
Staking gives good chance of making big fortune, but in the volatile market it is really hard to find the right cryptocurrency for the purpose of staking. Going with the top order will give the best, but the same being into locked position will sometimes eat the profit. So, it is kinda gamble.

With investment there'll be higher risk, and we were able to learn more about the cryptocurrencies. Whenever we prefer to stake or invest, the prime focus needs to be on the market as well as the security. Another important thing, one shouldn't be so greedy to go with some unknown cryptocurrency investment which could end up losing all the capital.
119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or banking investment? on: June 03, 2023, 11:59:36 PM
I would prefer to save my money in bitcoin for long term, the key word being long term. Bitcoin is a volatile asset, so if it’s money I may need anytime soon then I would be a good idea to save it in the bank. Saving money in the bank isn’t an investment, the primary function of the banks is to protect customers money and give loans to customers when needed.
That’s it. You could save a good amount of money in a bank while you are still investing with bitcoin in the long term. But my advice is that never invest all your hard-earned money, let half of it becomes your personal savings and save for emergency funds as well, and maybe half of it is for your investment. As for investment, do not just focus on bitcoin but learn to diversify too. Invest in gold and stocks as well, but put a bigger portion for bitcoin.
Having some sort of diversification is the best choice than just getting all your earnings into something specific. In such case, sometimes people get lucky to make huge revenue. Most of the time this is high risky whereas diversification on investment lower the risk. My way of investment is much on gold and the rest into bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Gold have got proven track record and the history that never lets the value fall. With bitcoin the growth in short period after its existence as well as the growth it could offer to the investors I prefer it.
120  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price of bitcoin is not rising soon!. on: May 30, 2023, 11:50:43 PM
No one can predict what the futures market will be like, so there is speculation about where the bitcoin price is going. However, these are just the conjectures of individuals and cannot be guaranteed to be completely true. So the decision is still up to you as to whether you will buy them and hold bitcoin assets at this point. It is still better to see and research carefully whether you accept risks and trade them or diversify investments into altcoins.
We have been watching the market for a long. The price have grown good compared to the starting days of the year. This means there is growth, but it isn't that people are expecting. More price predictions comes forward and we need to consider those as the reference and have our own prediction. For now there is signs of stable move in the price of bitcoin. This is something that is predicted to happen in connection to the halving. So, it is time for everyone to get prepared for the upcoming years halving.
