101  Economy / Speculation / Re: Falseful speculations about bitcoin predictions and its halving on: May 09, 2024, 09:10:47 AM
Just ignore them, you really can't help but speculate about the future of bitcoin anyway, that's just how things are, people are imaginative and they want to make something out of that imagination. Let them do their thing, they keep the dream alive of 100k bitcoin. I don't get the falseful speculations though, kind of feels like a contradiction to me, it's a speculation, it's not like it's based on facts or anything, just an opinion and a prediction at best so if you ever think that it's false then it's implied that you believed it and therefore that you don't know what you're doing and you suck as a person because you just believe without evidence or clarification, and that you can't even think for yourself.
102  Economy / Speculation / Re: Post halving investing strategy. on: May 09, 2024, 05:13:32 AM
Not much change in my way of investing, just buy low and sell high and doing some DCA on the side to keep things in a much easier for me and not get left behind when the possibility of the price suddenly pumping, I wouldn't lose the potential to make a profit. I don't get the need to do something different though, is there something that will happen after halving? I'm sure that whatever is going to happen, it's not going to happen immediately or after the same year as the halving, big things in the bitcoin market takes time.
103  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy BTC sold for 16 BTC-1 mil USD on: May 08, 2024, 04:21:36 PM
My problem with this "epic sat" being auctioned and sold for 33.3 bitcoin is that it tends to make people believe that bitcoin is non-fungible when indeed it is fungible, this sat now has a different value and can no longer be interchanged with another sat of equal value, when ordinarily it should.

I don't have a problem when things like the "buy bitcoin" paper is being auctioned, of course it is non-fungible and there is something that makes it unique and differentiates it from other pieces of paper or similar writings on them, but bitcoin as a currency is fungible and any utxo should be interchangeable with another one of the same value.
That would be the case but I don't think that anything changes to bitcoin, that sat will eventually get mixed with the other sats out there, what's the big deal? It's a stupid thing that they're doing this thing, it's NFT all over again in my opinion. I can only imagine this person not being careful and then selling this exact sat, that would suck if it upholds it's value and it didn't become as you've said just like any other satoshis out there in circulation.
104  Economy / Speculation / Re: LAST CHANCE TO BUY BITCOIN..... on: May 07, 2024, 08:18:08 PM
Anytime is always a good time to buy bitcoin, there's no way that it's going to be possible that there's a last chance when it comes to bitcoin, pretty sure that when it comes to that, it's probably the end of the world but there's really nothing you can do next about it anyway which means that your argument about bitcoin is sort of wrong, and if you're worried about the prices and the value of bitcoin that you're buying, you're probably not going to be able to stop the march of progress, it will continue to go up and it's anyone's fault that they didn't invest earlier when the price was reasonable and you can make more value out of your money when you buy bitcoin.
105  Economy / Economics / Re: Food shortages coming to the United Kingdom, BUT - on: May 07, 2024, 07:18:27 PM
What exactly is causing the farmers to close down their farms though? I feel like people need to know about more of this because this affects them the most, food shortage due to the lack of local food supply would mean an increase in the need for imported food supplies and we all know what's going to happen when that happens right? Higher prices for basic stuff, it's surprising that a lot of people hasn't made complains about this because anything that's mostly natural and is being made artificial by humans is mostly going to get eventually bad and in the case of this one, it's going to be a pretty bad one.
106  Economy / Economics / Re: Harmful effect of robot to the world. on: May 07, 2024, 05:47:07 PM

This is not a lie entirely. Definitely, the introduction of Robots and Artificial intelligence will make a lot of people unemployed if they do not do anything about it, because a lot of people will prefer to use a single robot to perform a job meant for five persons. But people will always adapt and live comfortably just as they have always be adapting since the advancement of technology. There is always a solution to every problem and some of the solutions to this employment issue as it relates to the use of robots are:

  • leaving some job roles exclusively for humans: This is the best any government can do for his people.  We all know that if only robots take up most of the jobs, a lot of persons will be displaced. The government has every right to issue an order to every organisation stating what percentage of job positions should be left for humans and what percentage can be handled by robots. This will go a long way in creating a balance in the country as a whole
  • Self improvement: As technology is advancing, no one needs to be told to learns skills so they can meetup with the new standard.  Improve as technology is improving so you can fit into the changing society.

Robots are invented by humans, humans can still regulate its use so it doesn't cause hardships instead of making life easier.
Your points do make sense but they're all banking on the faith that companies ill have the heart to just do those things to take care of people that they only see as numbers, once there's more money out of automation, lay offs will be inevitable. Yes, some roles or jobs can't easily be replaced by robots but the number that would be replaced is more than anyone will expect, of that I'm sure. Again, your point make sense, they can regulate robots but who's saying that they have to do that though? If it hurts their money making, they won't do it most likely.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you disguise on your real gambling lifestyle just to help a friend/relative? on: May 07, 2024, 04:59:57 PM
Dude, every person lies at some point in their life, I'm sure that you did too so I don't get the moral crisis that you're getting at though? If the only sin is lying and being a traitor or hypocrite to the principle that you pretend to stick too and there's really no person out there that would be pained or hurt emotionally or physically of your white lies then why be afraid of that, you're helping them understand that you can be an example for them to follow and it's not like you've got a bad intention from lying to them, think of it this way, if the lie continues to be more benefit to them then go for it but the moment that it starts to hurt someone, you're probably going to need to start doing something about it.

If you're in a plane hijacked by a terrorist group and the only way to get out of that situation is to lie, would you do it? Pretty sure that you would do it, my point is that you can lie to save yourself and there's times and places that are good for it, not tolerating the lying part though, again, I don't tolerate lies with malicious intent, that's different.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Max Win is the worst thing that could happen to you. on: May 07, 2024, 04:20:51 PM

People run away from a casino that asked KYC right after registration. What they want is no KYC and only ask KYC if they have the amount too big the casino has to require.

I think the gamblers are okay just playing minimum balance as long as they will not submit KYC. But if they win big and there is a reason to submit, they wouldn't mind sending documents.
The problem with KYC is because no matter how they put it, it's invasive and people don't want to be in it especially if those people value their online privacy knowing how expensive data is in the black market, you don't want to risk becoming a part of that sold data and so people are so off put of KYC, imagine if it's really difficult to get those data stolen and there's really no customer base for it, people will not hesitate getting into KYC.

Regarding max wins, I don't get why would you be scared of it? It's not like you have no way of contesting your claim against the casino that you've made a big win right? They can risk not giving you the money but they will lose more when they do that.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: May 07, 2024, 03:49:58 PM
I have seen some fight highlights of Nery and I got to say that there's not a lot of things worth mentioning, he's an okay boxer and I think that he could stand up for himself but pitting him against Inoue, I don't think that he's up for it. It's probably a knockout from Inoue, dude's a monster on the ring so I'm not sure how we can be too dismissive or at the least too indecisive about this one, it's definitely Inoue's win.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: May 07, 2024, 02:46:11 PM
No, you don't know if what you drink are contaminated or now, let's say your drink Protein powder that you bought in the market, maybe it's been been tainted along the way or you ingest food that has been contaminated, like what happens to Canelo during the GGG fight wherein he consume beef from Mexico in which they feed them with steroid to grow big. So you wouldn't notice it until you are being tested and blood taken from you and urine sample.
With how corrupt the boxing federation is, I think that it's still going to be Canelo's fault that he's tested positive for the PEDs, they operate on guilty until proven innocent unless you've got a really big money and influential backer on the board of the boxing federation so no matter how much we want to believe that it's not his fault, the committee assigned will still be the one that's going to be doing the final decision. It's a good measure in my opinion even though it's filled with corruption, I think that not being ignorant or being aware of what you're taking in before the fight should be a prerequisite or should be a common sense because it can be a way for your opponent to sabotage you too.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: May 07, 2024, 06:08:29 AM
Losing money gambling can be a painful and challenging experience. When you find yourself down a lot of amounts, it's natural to feel desperate to win it back. The temptation is to continue gambling, thinking you'll recoup the losses if you just keep playing. However, this is rarely effective and often leads to even bigger losses. But in reality, those losses are already gone, and chasing them with more bets will likely dig the hole even deeper. Work at your normal job, budget wisely, and rebuild your savings through steady, predictable income rather than high-risk gambling. Stay positive, focus on the future, and find happiness in other areas of life.
That's what the casinos want you to have as a mindset, always chasing losses because with more losses means that you're going to get more desperate and those people have the worst skills of them all since they can't think straight and they don't know how to stop, they're the reason why casinos are still such a good business to go into, the money will come to you and all you need is proper management, enjoyable hospitality, and the right connections. It's easy to say that you can stop whenever you're losing too much but you've got to understand that you're going to need more than the talk that you can stop whenever you want, you're going to also need to have the discipline to do it, without it, you're just never going to get your life going.
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool Observer Topic on: May 07, 2024, 04:44:15 AM
The fees have come down quite a bit. It looks like the spammers have run out of either the desire or the money to overpay to get their images onto the blockchain. On the one hand it was clear that the most interesting thing for them was to put them in the halving blocks and nearby and on the other hand that the money does not last forever. Let's see if we get below 10 sats/vByte over the weekend.
I'd like to believe that but in my opinion, they're probably waiting for the time that bitcoin is going to be pumping towards a new ATH because that's where the money will be right? They pump the fees with their images and inscriptions while the price is going up and then those that want to sell their bitcoins will have to face the high fees to get their bitcoin out of their hands to get the profit. I hope you've got the angel's tongue and that happens, maybe even lower, I plan to move some bitcoins to a new address after all and I don't like the idea of paying huge money to move small amounts of bitcoin.
113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could China (or similar) take control of Bitcoin? on: May 07, 2024, 04:07:45 AM
To take control of bitcoin, you need to take control of 80% if not all the networks and even at that moment, you'd still need a lot of power and money (for the equipment) to be able to pull it off and China's lacking in money already if you're keeping up with the Chinese stuff that's reported by investigative reporters so I don't believe that it's in their agenda to take over the bitcoin network anytime soon, pretty sure that whatever they're doing now, bitcoin or any cryptocurrency has no relation to it or anything like that.
114  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will this stack make me a USD millionaire? on: May 05, 2024, 09:40:58 AM
I don't feel like 2025 is the year for bitcoin and that you'd be able to hit that million by that year with just 7 bitcoins, I'd say that it will be around 2030 or higher before you can hit that number, maybe you also need to focus on other things too, there's the fact that you can have that USD if it's enough to try and get yourself to move to a country that has a really favorable exchange rate with USD like the tropical countries in Asia, South America or maybe even in some Caribbean countries, find other ways to make money not just your work to increase your bitcoin investment and you can easily reach millions in USD if you do that.
115  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is going to happen with Bitcoin now? on: May 05, 2024, 09:06:40 AM
Don't look at it in the short-term, bitcoin will bounce back even higher, think of the negative things that are happening to the bitcoin market as a bowstring of a bow and bitcoin price is the arrow, the more intense the pull is going to be then the more higher that the arrow will shoot out and sometimes the bowstring pulling takes a long time to get release that some people don't want to see it anymore but that's the mistake because bitcoin always eventually pumps in prices no matter how much the negativity is going on for now. Bitcoin will continue to grow and there's not much those negative stuff can do about it, those will all be over in months and then bitcoin will recover, don't make the mistake of listening to fud spread by people who hate bitcoin, they're not going to get anything out of it and you'll lose everything when you listen to them.
116  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Implications of War on Individuals on: May 05, 2024, 07:51:58 AM
- do you have any survival tips during war period?
- are there any business that I can do during a period of war so as to sustain my family? Can I still budget, save and earn in Bitcoin?
- What is the economic impacts on individuals with families and how do I sustain them during war period.
  • At the very start of the war if you can do it and you've got the money, do your best to seek asylum as quickly as possible but this will only be a thing that you should do when you're directly affected by the war erupting, if you're not affected at all or the proximity is too far, probably stay calm and watch the news update to the developments of the conflict, maybe stock up on non-perishable foods to make sure that your family won't be starving or something like that.
  • The best business that you can do is transportation or logistic services but that comes with the risk that you'll get caught in the cross fire because the higher the pay, the higher the risk that you'll have your services requested on the frontlines.
  • Normal movement of the market is going to be affected the most, once your in that state, there's little thing that you can do, if you've prepared for it before the war started near you or in your country then you wouldn't worry too much about this and you'd probably need to learn how to manage what's given to you when the rationing starts.
117  Economy / Economics / Re: Take care of your money and learn to save. on: May 05, 2024, 07:16:08 AM
Don't learn to save, learn to invest because that's much better than just letting your money stagnate in your bank account when there's the potential that it can grow when you invest it into something, remember that if you're presented the opportunity to invest especially if it's crypto, just go ahead and take it, there's no harm in going for that and it's probably much better for you to do it anyway. Regarding taking care of your money, best thing to do is to spend on your needs first then splurge just a little on your wants, remember that life isn't always about money, and if you don't live a little using the money that you earn, you're probably susceptible to break down and depression that would affect your life in the worst of ways, and you can prevent that if you just live a little.
118  Economy / Economics / Re: Ever dreamt of turning your passion into profit? on: May 05, 2024, 06:39:56 AM
As much as I like that idea, I really don't want to do that because I'm going to be seeing that I'd be hating that passion no matter how much I'd love that, money is a pollutant in my opinion and if I'm doing something that I'm passionate about then that means that I want some peace of mind and that will never become a thing when people order the stuff that I do for fun when I decide to make a profit out of it, sure there are some passionate people that would be able to turn it into a profit but I'm the kind that would rather starve than take away what makes my life more chill and bearable. There's also the fact that not all passion filled hobbies are profitable in the long-term anyway.

I mean honestly who would not want to gain wealth at a faster rate? We all want to be rich and we all want to be rich right now. If I had some chance to get rich right this very moment I would take it with no hesitation.
Which proves my point that if there's an easy money opportunity that presents to us, it's not right for us to do some kind of hesitation or setting aside just because we've been conditioned to believe that easy money is too good to be true. Good thinking that when there's the opportunity, you'd take it, that's how it should be anyways.

~
We all want faster wealth but greed will only just put us below the land. Especially with holding, it’s really a test of time and patience. You can gain a lot but it won’t be fast so I understand if it can be frustrating at times.
Obviously that's going to be the case, it's called patience after all, that means that it's going to take a long time and a lot of hard work to be able to see some kind of success, there's no way that you don't want that to be the case that when you wait and there's nothing there for you. Yes, we want the faster wealth but my point isn't to take all of that opportunity because some of them are really too good to be true and are likely scams, that's why I advocate to be smart about it and not just choosing willy-nilly.
120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reason why you shouldn't force someone to invest in bitcoin. on: May 04, 2024, 11:53:49 PM
It's pretty obvious why you shouldn't force someone to invest in bitcoin and I think that it's the same for almost any kind of interaction, it would also make you the bad person in the conversation because you'd get some kind of manipulative vibes and people really don't like it when you dictate what they should be doing since it's totally unhinge and stupid. Also, forcing someone to invest in bitcoin is kind of like using the same polarity of magnets, the more you try to force them then the more likely it is to go away so be careful how you do the convincing because there's a thin line between forcing and introducing. You need to make sure that you're not also that obsessed about them investing, that's creepy.
