This is considered a huge waste of money in many people's eyes cause most people don't earn much. Although I don't drink, occasionally I will treat them and pay the bills for the guesture of friendliness. Do you think my friends' lifestyle is a waste of money and time?
It depends on what stage of the life they are. If they already have a career, their own houses, consolidated family, solid income I think it's not a waste, because they have struggled building every steps upside to be where they are now, so they deserve to enjoy life the best they can. If they think to drink and eat out are decent rewards for what they have achieved so far, let them do this without guilt.

Everyone needs some relief from times to times, and such lifestyles are the answer for many to not fall in boredom and sadness. We can't judge them for this kind of behavior.
I think it depends on what you want out of life as well. Like I know a friend who has millions of dollars, and the only thing he likes to do is read novels. And my god those are some horrible novels as well, no idea why he does that, not like he read Russian classics or the most read books of all time, some of them sure but not all, and yet he reads some horrible lesser known fantasy novels.

Imagine being so rich that you could live without working until you die, and then your child and your grandchild could live without working, and yet the only thing you ever want to do in your life is reading novels, that's it. He will never be out of money ever, but he won't live a rich life neither, yet he will live the life he wants to live.

This has come to my attention, I think this guy actually tweets like this hoping to seek public attention.  I find it completely absurd that Bitcoin went from this price to one million dollars in just 90 days. This guy had made predictions and bets like this before and it was completely wrong.  However, I am not saying that the price of Bitcoin will not reach one million dollars, but that time may not have come yet and it may take a long time to see it.
Yes, the man is looking for attention on his social media profile. Of course he isn't going to make an official agreement with anyone to place a bet like this, because it's nearly impossible bitcoin is going to cross the 1$ million dollars barrier on the next 90 days and he wouldn't dare to risk such amount of money.

The tactic of saying something absurd to get views on the internet is popular and widely used by a plethora of social influencers right now. By doing this, his profile is actived by the platform's algorithm more often, displaying him to potential followers. It's a smart marketing strategy, especially inside the niche of finances, since there are lots of users on these platforms looking for advices regard investments.
I would say that there are a lot of people who try to get a lot more famous by saying crazy stuff and that's the bad part about the crypto world and the social media world as well. Even when it is not about crypto, there are a lot of people who do all kinds of extreme idiotic things and say those things just to get attention.

Doesn't need to be a good attention, it could be a bad attention, as long as they do what they should, they will flock to some community who will support them and they will do whatever they can about it. I personally do not believe in this at all, but there won't be really anything that would be more moronic than this type of gamble.
1003  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you say about this investment plan on: March 28, 2023, 05:02:45 PM
Why do every projects that have their stable coins always end up a scam? This question is enough for anyone to think twice before investing in any project g that has their stable coin that is not backed by anything, especially if they are defi projects, they can easily lie about what is backing their stablecoin, the risk here is freakily high, most of them are scam projects.
Even if the project does not begin as a scam it can easily turn into one, because even if they were to back their stable coin with fiat the ratio they promised their investors which will be maintained can always be altered over the life of the project, this means that people are taking a huge risk by investing in those projects, and what is worse is that those coins offer a sense of security to investors and they may not realize that instead they are taking the biggest risk on their short careers.
Even if a project is not a scam, it could also fail very very easily which must be the saddest thing. I mean let's be honest here, there are too many people trying to make their own projects happen and because of that most of them fail. Not everyone has the talent or skills to build their own project. First of all, if you are not a developer yourself, you shouldn't try it.

I cannot explain this better, if you didn't write the code, you are responsible for it, and that means you are going to fail. And there are thousands who did that unfortunately. Took money from people and got someone else coded, someone else designed and someone else marketed it, and they just took the profits.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 27, 2023, 09:19:02 PM
Juventus still have the chance to enter the top four of Serie A this season. However, this depends on a number of factors such as their performance in the remaining matches, and also the performance of the competing clubs above them.
Exactly, at first I thought Juventus would find it difficult to get to the top 4, but seeing the inconsistent from AC Milan, Roma and Atalanta this opened up opportunities for Juventus to change their position. There is still enough time for Juventus to start climbing the standings. With a difference of 7 points from Milan in 4th place, the opportunity is still open, even though the possibility is not that big, the opportunity is still there.
That's how they got any hope at all anyway. It wasn't their own wins that made it possible, it was Inter and Milan losing games that made it possible, if they won their games then even if Juventus won then it wouldn't be possible for them to get close. But, thanks to top four not being great, that resulted with Juventus ordinary wins to actually mean something.

We all knew that Juventus was a good team to begin with, they had a bad start and minus 15 points and they are still close, that happens only if you are a great team. Even with the bad start, if they didn't get that 15 points deduction, they would have been one of the elite teams in the league along with Napoli.
1005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When is ever the right time. on: March 27, 2023, 04:33:15 PM
You cannot predict the market and you cannot outsmart it as well hence crypto market is very unpredictable that's why there are no right timing in the industry. If you intend to invest, just follow the DCA strategy that alone you can fill your tokens/coins you wanted to buy. With that strategy you will not be stress enough in the long run.
It is possible to outsmart the market and gain benefits. That is when we buy at lows and sell at highs. That is also the right timing but sometimes one can get lucky that a price will continue to rise more even if it's already at the top. Before we invest, we must know our characteristics first. If we are a kind of person who always gets excited and cannot wait then short term investing will fit better on us.

The DCA strategy that you are saying there is I think will work only for those who are into long term investing. It may lessen the stress and regret when in comes to timing but major stress can still come once one runs out of funds to do a DCA.
1006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC or altcoin on: March 27, 2023, 01:08:53 PM
of course doing research on altcoins is also not easy but it is everyone's responsibility to accept the risk of mines or profits. the timing of the season also works for me between going in or taking a short break to avoid bear season coming. and enter a position when the bear market has bottomed out, enter to start back up
And if it's easy then all of us are now rich because we can easily spot a gem from the trash but there are still guidelines that we can follow on how to differentiate and obvious scam coin from the legit ones. Why will you avoid a bear season anyway when bears are a perfect time for accumulating coins?

But, if you are taking a short break then it's pretty fine because engaging on this market is not easy but it can be very stressful so one might be planning for a vacation to enjoying ones self right after they earn a nice profits. There is no way to tell the true bottom of the coins. Doing so will only miss your chance to buy at cheap. If I were you, ill just buy gradually after each drop.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 26, 2023, 09:08:04 AM
Quote from: Velvet78
Real Madrid have lost their chance for the league title after that loss in the El Clasico. Therefore their only goal in the league might be to finish the season at the second position at least.

This isn't a task that they would have huge problems on making it happen. Because Atletico Madrid are the only team that can fight for the same goal now but their job is much more difficult. Because they have improved their form a lot while Real Madrid are losing points. But I assume Real Madrid wouldn't let them pass anyway. They are still much more powerful team than Atletico Madrid in the end. They should be able to pull themselves together. The game against Valladolid is a good chance to do so.
If Real Madrid coach can do something fast by working on their defense and midfield, I think they can still achieve the la Liga league title because is only Barcelona team that is ahead of them which there is an opportunity for them to win their remaining matches to top Barcelona. I don't think, Real Madrid will give Atletico Madrid any chance to top them before the end of the tournament because Atletico Madrid are still lacking in the area of defense which is really causing them poor performance in this season. I believe , Real Madrid will definitely win their next match to improve their points because they will do everything possible within their power not to experience defeat from their opponent.
Real Madrid situation was not bad in first half of this season this all happened after the break, and now they are going down badly in La Liga even their performance in Champions League is still impressive, and they have fair chance for the win which is also good but in La Liga they are playing as ordinary club which is surely not wise thing but with current available sources and having injuries issue they can take any risk but most chances they will be in better shape for the next season with few changes are going to happen in summer currently their main focus is their next match in Champions League against Chelsea.

With Copa del Roy second leg match is also coming which is also important even they already lost their first leg match at home but still they can do few better things in second leg match which can give them place into final.
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 25, 2023, 06:11:23 AM
Juventus have improved a lot in their game and they are only four points behind Atalanta and 6 points behind Roma so the way they are playing it is expected that they will compete with Roma very soon and they can overtake Roma too. Juventus need to play more carefully in their next matches to put themselves in a better position and maybe they will be able to do so. Juventus team players are very active and they play with many techniques so they are able to improve themselves.
Juventus on good run despite losing against Roma with their chances are quite bright for having better results in coming weeks as well because as they beat Inter in last game we can expect good results against other teams as well after this win now I have feeling they can go ahead for the fourth or fifth spot because things looking positive for them after good results and at the top all other teams are facing trouble which is bringing them down in moral and performance as well.

Atlanta, AC Milan and Roma are giving poor results which is clearly helping Juventus cause for the going high and if we have two or three more bad weeks for these teams than no one can stop them for having spot into top five teams for this season ever after losing 15 points.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 24, 2023, 01:29:53 PM
That is why, Milan needs more than usual performance. If their performance is still the same as what they are so far, this will not be good for them. Moreover, Napoli is really in their high motivation. I know that nothing is impossible and some time, everything can happen with any surprises. But this must be also some reasons. As long as Milan can play much better, it is probably. But, football is more thn it is.
I don't doubt when we talk about the champions league, Milan is always good when they play in that event because they only have mental champions which Napoli doesn't have. We know Napoli is good in Local League, it's so much different which Milan because they have lost 1-2 when meet before, and maybe get lost also in the 2nd meet on Seri A. but, when we talk about the champions league, Milan won't just let it go, because Milan has 7 trophies, they have menttaly champions and will try to add one more time.
There is no doubt about AC Milan's record in Champions League as they are second most successful team in history of this mega European soccer event, but their current form is surely not allowing them for having better results against Napoli which is currently leading Serie A as well and have good results in Champions League as well with having five wins in group stage games and good wins against Frankfurt in knocked out round but here we can expect any surprise as well because Champions League is event of unpredictable results and surprises and here as both Italian teams are going to play against each other three times in April this could be amazing stuff for the fans of both clubs but most chances Napoli could be at the top and have fair chance for the final as well with their current performance in this season.

All gamblers can see statistics on the number of bets from the beginning of registering until now, but this will only give a little disappointment if you know the entire number of losses while playing gambling at a particular casino.
After all, there is no advantage in seeing the statistics of bets that have been made.
If only to see the amount of the bet, you don't need to open the statistics, we can already see it on the start page, which is listed on the percentage of bets for account rankings.
Looking at the betting history is nothing but will only make the gambler emotional and angry because he knows about his past defeats.
That's true, watching how much you lost and how it goes down time and time after again is not really the best feeling in the world, it is totally a bad feeling that we should be avoiding as much as we can. I personally do not look at what I lost or anything like that, I know how much I deposited and that is the max I can lose, I won't deposit again until the new month so there is no worries about it at all.

It may "look" bad because I keep losing, but in the end it goes up and down, sure it ends in down, but there are ups along the way and that gives me the entertainment I am looking for and I am an adult who can spend some money on entertainment in any form I would like to.
1011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you love and enjoy taking risk? on: March 23, 2023, 09:20:39 PM
Not all cryptocurrency risks are advantageous. There are risks you'll take where you'll lose money, and there are risks you'll take where you'll make money. As far as I can advise, take the risk you can stand should your investment fail
Is altcoin not unpredictable the way Bitcoin is? How do you think altcoin will favor you over Bitcoin? In case you don't know, the whole crypto market is unpredictable. It's really bad of you to invest in something you don't even understand without DYOR.
[/quote]
In case we fail and got no money, I think we can still get a lesson which can help us to improve so in the end, we still didn't lose any. Risks are quite scary or dangerous but it's better to take them than not doing any actions and just stick only on our comfort zones because we will never have the chance to grow this way. There are alts who are more stable than in Bitcoin, this is the reason why some of us thinks they are more predictable.

The OP is only wrong there because he purely rely on his instincts and he lacks research so he ended up picking the wrong coins. He is still lucky that he invested on ETH and Tron because these two coins aren't really that bad and there is a chance that they can recover.
1012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Forever on: March 23, 2023, 10:51:03 AM
Bitcoin deserves praise but need not be exaggerated to the point of sometimes being untrue. I'd rather talk about the volatility and risk of investing in bitcoin than flatter it. If a newbie all day only hears about the miracle stories of bitcoin without knowing the price to pay when investing in bitcoin, it will only harm them.

Holding bitcoins still has some dangers, bitcoin has existed and developed for more than 14 years, but so far, it has not been fully accepted or legalized globally. That means it's still risky, and we have no evidence that it will last for the next 14 years. Invest with money you can lose, don't forget this saying.
The issue where people tend to talk like bitcoin has no issues or bitcoin is so amazing, comes from the fact that fiat has so many issues that the issues in bitcoin looks too small for some people.

I am not saying that's true, there is a reality that we are not talking about bitcoins shortcomings as well and it's true that there are some stuff that could get better, like miners potentially having too much power, or maybe the fee, or maybe some other thing, volatility is definitely a big one. However, when you compare all of the problems of bitcoin in the past 15 years since it was just a concept, I can say that a single day in fiat could still be worse than all of it combined.
1013  Economy / Speculation / Re: 26k mark finally breached on: March 23, 2023, 07:25:14 AM
The significance of breaching the $30K area is that it supported price for around 18 months, so while "traditionally" it should act as new resistance, if it doesn't, then it's true that further upside towards $50K becomes increasingly likely. I wouldn't quite compare it to 2021 however, but more so like 2019 when price breached $6K previous support level (that failed to act as any resistance what so ever).

Many people will say that "this time is different because of X,Y,Z", and while it's true that it could be, so far everyone about Bitcoin's movement since the start of the year have replicated 2019 strong recovery, rather than 2015 style consolidation near the lows. This obviously doesn't mean it has to continue to recover by increasing 4x in price from the lows, only that so far after a few months it's following suit.
I am not entirely sure if the resistance will be there right away, it may require us to stay above 30k for a long time before we could get there, but if we go above 30k and spend at least 3 months there, then it would be pretty close to impossible for us to get back down. Of course it still could get back down, like it always crashes, but that doesn't mean that it will be easy, just like how we haven't fallen under 20k for a while now, it could be the same for 30k as well.

But, first we need to go above it and we aren't there just yet. So the discussion for what happens after 30k is breached is a discussion for another day, and we should focus on this current price not to fall and just goes up.

Everybody is feeling this cashless policy, my dear, it doesn't leave the rich and politician out of it, even POS payments is now changing money. To me, the initiative is very good but ill-times and was sabotaged by politicians and ordinary people. Till now, politicians are stockpiling again their lost money with the new notes to return to business as usual with their "Ghana must go" and unsuspecting people are building businesses on the suffering of others.

Money is leaving the bank but not entering, there is now an imbalance that only God will save us. Still, I will not blame the government for this, it's a good development but fought back by the overambitious people.
I do not know about those nations but I know mine and I can confirm that politicians and business people get together to make sure they get out of the troubling times together without hurt, and then start looking at the people.

As I grow up, I realized that corruption doesn't really "want" people to live in poverty, even the worst kind of politicians would rather have a dream nation where everyone is super happy, they would love that actually because it means they will keep their power without any issues. But they can't, because corruption makes the nations go bad, and when they go bad people don't like the politicians and that's why they turn out even worse.
1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you think blockchain gaming technology will have evolved by 2030? on: March 22, 2023, 09:22:32 PM
Actually I am not sure the blockchain -based game will still survive until 2030 with a lot of fans like today, if the game is more inofative and more challenging I think it will last a long time if boring will be abandoned by the user
Computer games and crypto games in particular will always be in demand and therefore will develop. Moreover, the prospect for their development is still huge. People have always demanded, relatively speaking, two things: bread and circuses. Computer games and crypto games have been developing and improving very quickly in recent years. The gaming industry on the blockchain allows two or more players to simultaneously play complex and large games online, and there are still many opportunities.
I think computer games and the crypto game genre hasn't really grown into anything that is meaningful. It focuses too much on the finance part of it and very little in the game part.

The day when people start to make games that you actually want to play, then we are going to start seeing projects that will make a lot of money as well, but right now they are all games you would play only if you get paid, and not play if there is no money involved. Think about it this way, Fifa is a very well known football game right? And makes insane amount of money from people buying packs, which proves point that if you make a game people want to play, then they will spend money on it, and it will work.
1016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 22, 2023, 08:24:09 AM
Atletico Madrid have made a good progress lately and this has helped them even catch up with Real Madrid a little in the standings.

Maybe they wouldn't manage to take the second position from Real Madrid but still this is a better look for Atletico Madrid at least. They couldn't make a good start to the season and this continued the same way for a very long time also. This led them to have a really bad run during the most of the season. One of the results was their having a very poor group stage in the Champions League. After finishing it at the last spot with only 5 points Simeone has started being criticized even more seriously. Recently they are at least able to consolidate their position in top four. But I still believe Atletico Madrid need a big change by parting ways with Simeone.
Parting ways with someone I will say is not the right thing to do. You have already said that ATM are now close to Real Madrid, that's only because the club's performance has increased so well lately.
Real Madrid has lost in their last match but that will not affect their performance in the next match and I'm sure it will be their chances of increasing their pace with ATM, that's because AtM may find it hard to win Betis.
Atlético Madrid is surely one of the best clubs in La Liga but recently their performance is on decline which is hurting badly specially having exit from Champions League with just five points is big concern for their management now they are having better spot in La Liga after having poor start of this season now most chances they will fight hard with Real Madrid for the second spot in league table which is possible but still they need to change their strategy with bringing some quality players is also important which will increase their strength, and they will be able to perform better in future.

Recently they are doing amazing as now clearly handing for the better spot and widening difference of points from Real Sociedad which is currently at the fourth spot and having tough challenges now in next round after break Real Betis is going to visit Atlético Madrid which will decide will be they fight for the third spot, or they are going to have fight for the fourth in remaining part of their season.
1017  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can end poverty? In a nation today on: March 21, 2023, 09:11:16 PM
Bitcoin offers equal opportunity for all, where decentralization, accumulation.  Not just for the poor.  Bitcoin acts as the driving force of everything, meaning that if the poor make efforts, take advantage of opportunities to earn money, work hard and accumulate bitcoins, they can completely dream of a better life.  Contrary to the conditions they get from that effort in today's society, it's almost impossible.  YES - Bitcoin has complete credibility to make changes in the aspirations of the poor
That's the thing, it is equal for everyone and doesn't go up or so just for the rich, and can't be printed by anyone. So it is limited and you would always have some of it, doesn't matter what the price is, you will always be partners of it. That type of decentralizations and equality gives it a chance to keep making regular people like us have a chance.

Normally, fiat world is not like that, if the rich doesn't have enough wealth gap between us and them, they just print more money and get themselves richer, and ask the government to protect them while we get screwed along the process, that doesn't exists in the bitcoin world which makes it the best currency in the world.
1018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are investors so sceptical about Altcoins? on: March 21, 2023, 03:20:23 AM
there are so many altcoins listed on the exchange and of course it is difficult for us to analyze them one by one, but we can choose altcoin investments at the top at coinmarketcap, among them there are many altcoins that have been around for a long time and still exist today, and have healthy movements , in the sense of keeping abreast of the movement of bitcoin as the mother of all coins. let's just take the example of eth, bnb, matic, all three besides being safe to invest, will most likely provide better profits
Of course there's nothing wrong with what you're doing. You choose to invest in Altcoins that have clear potential for the future without wanting to take risks with other altcoins. I think it's the most appropriate method if we are hesitant to partake on unpopular altcoins.
The thing is that people who know what they are doing and sure about it could also be wrong and that would hurt them a lot. I personally believe that this strategy is one that could work, I believe that he is doing the right thing and that's my opinion, you think the same way and they thought the same way as well, so we all agree, but lets not forget that we could all be wrong as well.

There will be plenty of people who will only own bitcoin, and there will be plenty of people who will own some low cap high risk coins and make profit that way too, we wouldn't know which one would be the best, we just do what we think could bring us the most money and sometimes we are right, sometimes we are wrong.
1019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 20, 2023, 08:38:10 PM
it is a very unfortunate case but if we can look back, at least before Juventus won 9 consecutive Scudetto. In fact Juventus also had a scandal that made Juventus play in Serie B, but after that Juventus won 9 Scudettos in a row and in fact during that period Juventus really looked clean.

I mean, the bad cases experienced by Juventus are not always attached or do not make Juventus look bad or be suspected. because if the image of Juventus is bad because of the scandal at that time, then Juventus can win 9 Scudettos in a row. Of course, Juventus deserves to be investigated, but so far no one has said that Juventus committed fraud or anything about winning 9 Scudetto in a row.
Therefore, the scandal that Juventus has experienced this season will still not make Juventus' bad image have a negative impact on their performance
The "crime" they had this time around was just not reporting the finances correctly. Did that helped them a bit? Of course it did, but every single win that they won was legit and clean win and nothing else, maybe they would have built a different team because of financial regulations and wouldn't win that much if they were clean on their finances, but after that, they didn't buy any of the wins, they literally won on the field which isn't really that crooked if you ask me.

Plus, having 9 titles in a row gives you a bit of a profit, not many teams could rebuild a team with that much money and still be bad. I think they will recover from this easier than last time.
1020  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🐞 Dogecoin Will hit $1? on: March 20, 2023, 03:49:48 PM
if elon make everyone hype about dogecoin again maybe price skyrocket again, but 1$ i not sure it can happen.
I get that there are ton of people who are looking for this because back when Elon promoted it there were a lot of people who bought and some of them made a lot of profit. However, lets remember that it hit as high as 70 cents, which means that there must be at least some people who bought it from that price.

I am not saying that all of them are still keeping, but from this price to 70 cents, there must be some people who bought and they are still holding it. This is why I believe that they will always want to see it finally reach to 1 dollars so that they could make some profit. I believe it may happen in the distant future, but not anytime soon, at least not for a few more years.
