101  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: April 27, 2024, 01:48:36 PM

In as much as investing 100% could be risk or over investing but with this method you have explained I think it will be very difficult to get into trouble during the accumulation process because you have already eliminated any possible risk that could arise along the line, actually this method has been very helpful for so many investors today and funny enough I have make use of this method sometimes, especially when I'm very close to receiving my monthly salary and by then I have cleared all possible needs that would arise so I will then putting 100% percent of my available funds at that moment while waiting for the salary to come so that I could balance the equation and from their continues my DCA.

Actually I only use that method whenever I feel I'm free from any needs and my monthly salary is very close, however it takes a proper understanding for an investor not to make a mistake on this method because like you have explained that investing 100% is only good before the pay period so that they will not ran into trouble but funny enough most investors will still be aggressive trying to be greedy.
This method is no difference from buying aggressive when there is more money to spare. The only reason you are able to comfortably put 100% of your income into Bitcoin is because you have various source that you make money, and you don't rely on your monthly income to cover up for everything you need. Despite the general advice of not putting all our money into one asset you still choose to neglect because you feel it is less risky for you since you have no upcoming needs. But let me give you some reasons why this idea is wrong.

1. You are not expecting any needs, but life throw curveballs, things could go wrong like health and emergency need which you will need money for that is why it is important to keep reserve funds.

2. There could be a time where you might see a delay in receiving your income, thereby you need more money to survive and invest.

This your idea might seem logic to you, it's still a risky move to make. At least try to diversify instead of putting your entire money in one basket even if there is a huge assurance in that assets and even with a paycheck coming soon. Money that is not in your hand cannot be called you money unless you receive it.

The thing is that the human mind has evolved to continue behavior that has given good results in the past.

So, if someone wins money, they will try to do it again.

Unfortunately, the most probable outcome will be that they lose their money in the future.
gambling is all about to opportunity and the luck so if you win gambling today that does not necessarily mean that you are going to win gambling tomorrow because winning gambling is all about opportunity so you neither plan your future for the one that you have already won instead of hoping on the future one that you win some of us make a mistake during the process of gambling when will win money through gambling we think that we win again so that mentality make some people who is a gambler to continue gambling with the one they have already won to gamble again the place then lose whatever they have generated through gambling
Of course, your right, gambling is based on luck because no one can be 100 percent correct in predicting games in gambling. But i still believe one thing that if you have ever win in gamble before then it means that you do not suck in it at all and for sure you have the right to expect more winnings in the future.  My reason for saying this is because there are some persons who haven't won at all in gambling using their own predictions. They rely on others good luck charm in general luck for them to make winnings in gambling. Such a person shouldn't be left alone to gamble if not he would spend all his money without winning even a single streak.

very important victory for Frosinone this evening against Salertinata which is worth a small but big leap forward in the standings for the relegation zone.
il Sassuolo is now at great risk after more than 10 years in Serie A.

with 4 turns to go he is now one step away from disaster.
Nobody thought it possible at the beginning of the season.
Quite an easy one for Frosinone. Although the match didn't go as i expected. I felt Salertinata would put up a strong fight in the game but perhaps i had much expectation. Those dudes were not even able to score a goal in the match and that has cost me a lot today. However, it is my first time adding such kind of match to my bet slip.
104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 26, 2024, 10:22:38 PM
Arda Güler eventually came into the first 11 and scored the goal. Receiving the ball after the defense's mistake at the back post, Arda sent the ball into the net with a neat single shot. Carvajal's assist was nice, but if the defense had not made a mistake, there would have been no goal.
Now Real Sociedad has increased the pressure even more. They look like they're going to score. Real Madrid cannot continue like this any longer. I think Real Madrid will lose points in this match.
Madrid was able to win thanks to Arda Guller’s only goal that earned them all 3 points. There was a lot of pressure on Real Madrid but they were able to withstand the pressure with the help of the goalkeeper that made couple of saves in the game.

Real Sociedad played very well in the game, they gave all the best they could but i guess tonight was not their lucky night, no doubt Madrid will win the trophy again this time around. I think Madrid struggled because they selected their second line up so they can have more playing time and they still latter ended up winning the game.
If Real Madrid didn't win Real Sociedad, I would have been saddened because I bet foe Real Madrid to win and I small amount from the bet and also the argument that erupted in the hall was won by those who support Real Madrid in the viewing centers. Though there was a time we were silent because the possessing power was with Real Sociedad and they were playing well. But luck was not with them so Real Madrid won the game. Glory be to God.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy for Real Madrid but am so glad that they were able to secure the victory at least to maintain the first position in the league table and secondly to have made my bet on them played successfully. It seems today is a good day for most gamblers because the two bet i placed today on sports betting, in the Seria A and La Liga all played. Another winning day for me. How about you? Did you include more games in your bet slip? If yes, did you win?
105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 25, 2024, 11:53:49 PM
In the 34th match we will have 2 matches which will be very exciting to watch. Namely, once again Juventus will face Milan. And in the previous meeting, Milan lost at home by Juventus. And now Milan will definitely try to avenge their defeat at the start of the season by beating Juventus in front of the Juventus supporters themselves. And yes, this is a match that will be very exciting. And another match that I think is interesting is the Napoli vs Roma match. And I am here with confidence that I will have Roma as favorites for this match. Because I see that Roma's consistency is clearly better than Napoli this season.  Smiley
I must say vengeance is for the weak. Whether home or away the best team would always win or if worse comes to worst it ends up a draw. I don't believe in losing an away match and when it comes to the home game that is when i would want to avenge the wining.

By position in the league table, Millian has nothing to lose but however i still think they should win the match in their home so that their fans will be extremely happy. Since the fight for the league title is over. Inter has sit on the right spot and it will be there, no team can take that from them. Millian or Juventus none can try.
106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 25, 2024, 11:45:23 PM
I do agree that we are going to end up with Real Madrid winning in any normal case, and that is what people are expecting for sure, a team that managed to beat City should be able to easily beat Bayern Munich and any other team they face at Finals as well.

However, this is football and you never know what you are going to get, it is almost always a bit of a shock when you face a team and I think it is quite clear that we may not get what we want at all times. We could always end up with a result that is shocking. Like for example Bayern getting a huge win, like 3-0 for example, yes when you hear about it that feels like that is an unlikely situation, but the reality is that we could get a win like that, football is filled with unexpected results.

A lot of shocking results have happened in the game of football and eve this season, we have seen some shocking results in the European competitions where smaller and weaker teams beat the bigger ones and remove them from the competition. It would still be surprising if it happens because there’s no certainty that such an event cannot happen when they meet. On the physical now from the outside, it is clear that Real Madrid are the better opponents to win and make the qualification. We can also get a shocking result from Bayern Munich, so Real Madrid have to be at their best and don’t underestimate the quality of Bayern Munich team too.
You must remove that mentality that Rela Madrid are stronger than Bayern Munich. Football these days is very surprising and am certain that you have also seen what is going on the EPL where big title contenders are losing to small clubs. In my own point of view all the team currently in the UCL semi-finals are strong competitors and no team should underestimate the other. If Madrid or Bayern are really serious to win the UCL title, then they have the complete 90 minutes in the first leg of their match to win the other. Any thing that makes both team come out a draw in aggregate then it is may is not the best team who would win. When it comes to penalty i feel it is a thing of luck which the lucky team would win and qualify to the final.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blogs and Forums. Additional Features in Online Casinos on: April 25, 2024, 11:20:33 PM
Do you by chance consider these features when assessing and selecting which casinos to join and play on?
Unless you are a gambler who cares about community involvement, most gamblers are interested in just coming online and playing their favorite games. They are not too concerned with being in a forum with other gamblers on the same platform or reading news from the casino blogs.
These additional features added by some casinos are mainly to make a casino more customer friendly, and to make gamblers spend longer time on their platform, and always see reasons to come back.
Try reading your what you have said again, does it make any sense to you? Who else will visit a casino site if the person is not a gambler or you want to tell me that some persons just mistakenly jump into a casino website by mistake.

Let me put it this way, the world is changing and most online platforms in the different areas like gambling, health, luxury to mention a few are not just concerned about providing their service to people only. They now understand the power of community building. I don't want to say it's the new trend because it has been going on for some time now. The idea of the community is to keep the user active in the platform even after they are done with what they came for.
108  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: April 25, 2024, 11:14:44 PM
I don't think there is any business that one can start without any capital being involved. Which drives me to correct the fact that Affiliate Marketing is an online skill and not a business. Unlike any other skill it takes time to learn and practice before one can be successful in it. The most important thing here is learning with the resources. I believe if someone wants to be an affiliate marketer he needs to buy or search for the right learning materials before he can understand how it works completely. And these process takes quite some time but if one has successfully passed this stage of course there will be greener pastures ahead of them.

Also, i want to add that when it comes to affiliate marketing people spend money on spreading ADs on social media to reach a large number of people. So, one way or another there is still some little investment or capital being putting. Although at the beginning stage creating ADs is not really necessary.
109  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Inflation Necessary on: April 25, 2024, 11:03:49 PM
For example, the same wouldn't happen if we used gold as a currency instead. Is inflation a ploy that the government uses so people don't get rich off of savings?
What i have come to understand is that inflation doesn't affects assets specifically. Of course, the price of Gold, Silver, Bitcoin and other profitable assets won't be affected when there is inflation. Inflation is phenomenon that affects our purchasing power in our individual countries. When you sell you r gold or Bitcoin into fiats that is when inflation starts affecting the value of that your assets in fiat. If we look at it in your point of view then it is certain that i will agree with you that the government has a hand in manipulating the economy of a nation. But i dont think it works that way, yes the system is being manipulated a little since the governemtn has central authority over it but i feel the main cause of inflation is scarcity. When there is scarcity of food, raw materials, local produce, goods and services the value of these things tend to increase drastically causing those who have them to use the opportunity to extort money.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they on: April 24, 2024, 11:54:12 PM
The biggest mistakes I have noticed in beginners is the thought that gambling is a get rich quick schemes and taking the third party route as in getting bets that are called sure odds to bet on hoping to win big jackpot with those sure  perceived sure odds.

Gambling is based on luck and nothing more and there is no sure game any where so beginners should stop having the thought that their can lay hold of a sure bet that make them win.
This is very common even to long time gamblers who until now have not achieved the right mindset of a gambler, that gambling is never a get rich quick, and gambling can never replace the position of having a stable job. Although you can win big from gambling, but that is only rare to happen as losses will always outnumber our gains or profits.

There is no wrong with gambling actually. What makes it wrong is that when we start seeing gambling as a reliable source of living when in reality it will never be. Gambling is purely based on luck and chances, and it’s not all the time that we get extra lucky and win our bets.
Of course, gambling is a get rich scheme. Anybody who wants to patiently get huge amount of money should focus on his skills or improving his business so that he can earn more. Because gambling is 50/50, most person come here directly to make quick money so that they can settle their urgent needs like providing money for feeding in the family, paying tuition fees, hospital or electricity bills. Debt can also be one good reason why a gambler would want to double the money he has so that he can meet up to pay back the debt on the day he promised.

Gambling can never be a sure source of income because it involves predictions which may be true or may be false. There is not certain amount of money to be expected every month as a income this is why any one who has a family should look for benefitting job and not rely on gambling to take care of his family.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No gambling today due to bitcoin high transaction fee. on: April 24, 2024, 11:36:06 PM
That might only be our range but what if we are addicted?
I think we wouldn't mind paying 50 dollar for the fee and still have a 50 dollar left for play.

For those gambler whose money is only 50 dollar and below, maybe they will choose lightning network for a while because you know that was still part of BTC and I saw that many casinos now started supporting lightning network.

Bitcoin price is still the same dump, so maybe that was true that the rise in its fees are caused by the halving and it can take a while for the fees to get sorted out. I know this is not the first time the BTC fees increase insanely this high and I am expecting these high fee trend may continue until bitcoin prices rises up to the level to compensate the miners for same amount of fees in satoshi.

This is where the use of stable coins come in. The liquidity of stable coin is an added advantage to their network especially when Bitcoin mempool start getting congested. So if a gambler is addicted, he might want to use stable coin or any other coin that has higher liquidity than Bitcoin at this mempool congestion period. If a gambler is addicted he'll take the chances of risking even more fee to get very small Bitcoin deposit, because when they are not patient to make good decisions they will eventually end up getting broke if they have all their asset in Bitcoin. Most of those gambling games that accepts Bitcoin are usually slot games which is a bit difficult to make huge win, and addicted gamblers will experience more losses this period of mempool congestion.

Yeah, I think this is where USDT enters, just like when we hedge our Bitcoin when the price is fluctuating, we can do it the same now when the mempool is clogged for whatever reasons. Although if you look at the fees right now, it is down more than 10x already from the highs that we have seen since the block halving. Currently, it's 45 sat/vB and we don't know if it's going to go up later or not.

But at least for us gamblers, as much as we love Bitcoin to be our main currency to gamble, it is wise to try and used other altcoins as well. Just be flexible and we will be good and then we can go back to Bitcoin if everything has settled down.
Not just USDT. Using another altcoin is necessary here. Especially those whose transaction fees are very low this period, but it must be one that the gambling platform recognizes. Meanwhile the mempool congestion has reduce a little and some transactions has been executed, so there is no need for panic or switching if cryptocurrency in making payment, we can now use bitcoin for gambling in platforms now as the fees is now affordable. Currently it is now 4.5mb/byte
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 24, 2024, 11:21:55 PM
Losing to Crystal Palace was somehow okay because there was still hope for Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title. With this 2-0 loss at Everton, I believe Liverpool is out of this season's Premier League title race. Manchester City and Arsenal will use this opportunity to accumulate enough points that would make them top Liverpool with a good point difference, and Liverpool will have no chance of challenging for the Premier League title.

The league right now is Manchester City's to lose. All they have to do is win their remaining league matches of the season and the league is theirs. I always believed both Liverpool and Arsenal would still drop points after their losses to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, Liverpool and dropped point, let's wait and see if Arsenal will drop any more points.
As for Manchester City, I don't see them dropping any points. City has hardly ever blown any opportunity like this. They don't joke with these types of chances, especially because they have been knocked out of the Champions League.

Liverpool may be in a very difficult situation with Klopp leaving. It's a very complicated situation because one decision can make or break them. All that is needed is a manager that can fill Klopp's shoes and the club needs to back that manager. If they get the wrong man for the job, no backing in the world would save them from the doom that is to come.
The worst mistake you will ever do is to make conclusions when it comes to football. During the time Aston Villa and Arsenal lost to those underdogs no one expected it. It came like a shocking surprise to football watcher and the respective fans as well. Of course, Manchester City has to maintain consistency in winning streaks so that they can successfully carry the league title again. If they fail to win any match, then it is a big lost to them because Arsenal is in the right position to win the league if Liverpool or Manchester City make any slight mistake.

Also, Liverpool is way strong even without Klopp's presence in managing the team. However, his actions and decisions have led the team to this great height. Don't worry what happened to Chelsea won't repeat itself in Liverpool if Klopp's has left the team and a new manager is. been appointed.

I will tell you the truth the government can never be transparent whether blockchain technology is to be adopted or not. Our government has been into the technology sector for long and there have been some budget and allocations that were made from the federal system to enhance or equip local areas who are not fully aware of this technology and also the youths who are willing to learn or join the train would be employed into the sector. All these promises were made to the public but what happened in the end, still the same embezzlement of funds.

I can remember vividly of a place in River state they were to build infrastructure that would employ over 1000 to 2000 River state citizens but up till today the project and funds for it was stolen by the state government. The worst case is for the government to be involved in cryptocurrency; we all have seen their fight against it from the start.

How long could this game keep going?


Just like uptrends and downtrends in the marker, it is a cycle that could go on forever.

I wouldn’t be too bothered by it to be honest unless of course you are one of those who need to be constantly making transactions and paying high fees. In that regard, I shall thank you for your willingness to pay extremely high transaction fees that would eventually attract miners again.  Grin
Why tell him not to bother, do you know how often he makes transaction using bitcoin.

Mining may have become less profitable so not just anyone can mine bitcoin today because it requires serious cash in order for it to be successful which we all know. After the halving this congestion issues started which means the network has not been fully decentralized these days and it is as a result of many miners shutting down in the business.

This is a derby, and besides, Chelsea have not been so bad in recent matches,
Lol, is i the same Chelsea that failed to score a simple goal against Manchester City. The same Chelsea that Jackson is still playing for. Chelsea won't be able to win Arsenal today let me get the point straight. Arsenal may have lost against Bayern and Aston Villa that is what everyone is saying but do they forget that they won their last match against Southampton. I don't know why it is difficult to not be sentimental. When we are talking about teams, we should talk about performances and not based on favorite club. Arsenal in terms of performances can beat Chelsea, i know their last H2H it ended a draw game. Today will be different because that is the only chance Arsenal have to win the EPL title. If they would try and win today, there is still hope for them. And for Chelsea they should sit and watch how title contenders play in the field, there won't be any hope for them to come out top 5. Aston Villa and Manchester United is there to take the space from them.

There is no country that was not gifted with natural resources, traditional practices and talent that they could use to grow their economy. What makes a country subject to other countries is when they fail to manage their resources wisely. Some countries are blessed with crude oil, palm fruits and nits, gold silver.

All these things can be exchange within countries to support their country. Yet some countries are too weak to grow or produces most of the resources they have which they can exchange to other countries for money. They prefer borrowing and expect to pay back, which is quite a bad idea, because it will take so long to pay back.
118  Economy / Economics / Re: Does sound money have to be Private? on: April 23, 2024, 10:46:26 AM
I think for a money to be sound you must be able to transact privately with no third party in the transactions.

What do you think?
Do you know when you talk about privacy illegality comes into their mind.
Yes, most times we would want to question ourselves that when we talks of privacy what more, to restricts others from knowing how much you own, operate and transact or knowing where we are storing funds, Is that all?
Then good if so, you can stop keeping your money in the bank but you can't deal without them why because you must need fiat for your final expenditures and even as that you needs it locally to be able to pay out bills and mores, hence you still bounces back to approval right?


Obviously, the best way to embezzles funds and participate in illegal activities is to maintain anonymity. Most people would say decentralization has contributed to the way rug pool and cybercrimes are being easily done in the society. But they get to forget that it has there is no monetary system that do not have an advantage and a disadvantage. Let's focus on the advantages here, decentralized system has helped us keep our funds private, only those who are ignorant of the privacy process were victims of scams. Of, course not everyone is tech savvy some needs time to learn and adopt to the system, yet after understanding it they fail to practices it.

Arsenal took the lead from City with a win against Wolverhampton. Arsenal, who were deprived of an important win after their home game last week, suffered a big blow in the championship race.
And not only did Arsenal took the lead from Man-City, but Man-City is currently standing 3rd on the league table after Liverpool won their game against Fulham today, working away with the full 3 points, hence placing both Arsenal and Liverpool on the exact same point (i.e 74points) while Man-City having 73 pts, a difference of one. And as such, if Man-City really wants to win the league this season, this is the time for them not to take chances but strive to win in all it's forthcoming matches to be played against Brighton, Nottingham and Wolves on 25th, 28th April and 4th May respectively. But though it's gonna seams tough, with a good coach like Pep Guardiola, anything is possible.

It's too sad to see Arnal in this situation. After losing the Champions League to Bayern Munich there is a negative atmosphere in this team.
Areta decided to put some players for sale because he thinks the need to get improve and this will give a big chance in Arsenal. On the other hand, the sad news for Arsenal is about their player Takehiro Tomiyasu, This player is injured and even in the game against Wolves in which Arsenal won the game with a 2-0 result, he was absent nut absence of this Japanese player can have a negative effect for Arsenal in the next games they are going to have.


I dont think his absence wont make any difference in the team. Tomiyasu has been away from so many matches after he returned from the japanese league last month. He Was giving some time to rest before going into peach again. However he has played only two matches since he returned, of which two of those matches Arsenal lost in the games. Before he returned there were two players who filled up in the space one which is Zinchenko and the other is Kiwior. Although one cannot truly rely on Zinchenko to pull up the defence so well like Tomiyasu but Kiwior did a good job when he was in the pitch which made the Arsenal coach and the fans forgot that Tomi has been sitting on the bench for quite sometime.

I think the games you mentioned its very rare to find in an online casinos. I have made some research i cant find any of them there. IMO you should try other racing games in the casino platforms you are using such as dog racing it could be fun to gamble there if you give it a shot. One thing i know about casinos platform is that they do not offer all the varieties of sports that suits every gamblers choice. They choose the type of sports gambling that would take place in their site. If they keep giving all users their preferred sports activities, users will end up winning more and would leave the company bankrupt.
