The Drake's Curse.

He lost on the right man. We have experienced losses but not as bad as this...this is just terrible.

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?

Even though some people will argue that Bitcoin was not created primarily as a means of investment, it has become obvious that Bitcoin presents a good investment opportunity. Many people even use Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat is plagued by inflation. One aspect that have created much argument is real estate with many saying it is more reliable than Bitcoin that they claim is risky.

I know several threads have been made in this regards with most of them moribund. I created this post because I feel so bad regarding what happened in my country. As you can see in this post and the video in it, the state government demolished an entire estate with several buildings and properties inside. This is peoples investment that just got destroyed. This was a property approved by previous administration but demolished by new government...another risk many people do not put into consideration in real estate and some other physical investments.  This is a confirmation that Bitcoin is safer and better than many conventional investment portfolios.

Anyone still doubting the freedom, comfort and peace that Bitcoin offers is probably yet to embrace reality.

When we look at the state of our country's economy, it's obvious that relying on one particular source of income cannot really be enough to pay your bills, especially when you have a family. In most countries when you have a good skill, or a stable job can take good care of you even if you have a family. The only thing you need to work more for is promotion. However, it is different here.

I have observed that most persons have more than 5 different jobs. If one job doesn't pay this week then the other will. That is what is in their mind. For instance, a man will be working as an engineer in a company, still a government teacher, also have a shop for small business and also a bolt driver. All these things just to survive. I don't like the fact that maintaining a standard of living has to be very challenging like this. If there is a way that working salary would be increased, tit would at least reduce the need for multitasking because all these things are part of those things that gradually affects our health and reduce life spam.

Perhaps you would know other method that can help reduce multitasking

Many person has several patterns and ween to several areas at which favors them where else becomes the other way round for another.

Many believes hardwork drives one into light but it can be contradicting as hell cos in this present era it becomes more of being smart than hardwork.
Doing more of hard work than working smart will get you to a certain level of achievement where applying more knowledge and critical skills would amount to greater achievements

We all set goals and apply certain strategies to get there, can be of the same goal but different strategies. The smartest gets better result than the one who only believes in his ability, knowing is not enough but smartness in applying what is known is needed for better achievement.
In doing Bitcoin we should be smart enough to study the market and manage speculations
There are few factors that makes a person smart, considering:

• Inquisitiveness : Having this mindset of wanting and willing to learn is one attribute to being smart, a smart person never sees things as common, always curious to learn. They say "Learning never ends", and  "No acquired Knowledge is a waste"
• Sensitive to better ideas : There is, well a need to be sensitive. When in the midst of good speakers, paying good attention to the speaker so as to grab good ideas that can be relatably used, can be on a face to face level or through the media

• Asking questions : After listening to good speakers, there must be something shady and not completely comprehended but the curiosity to ask question for a clear picture is also attributed to being smart, as they say "A problem known, is a problem solved"

If they can meet up with the Valuations of Manchester, then he can choose where he'll want to further his career. He is a player with a strong character, refusing to tender the apologies makes me laugh.
Good he has decided and that stands he wi leave Manchester United when the Transfer Window opens.
I would also love they do same with some Manchester United players that are not good enough. Victor Lindelof should go and same with the name Harry Maguire.
If they fail to leave they can't have enough minutes to play then.

Yes. Real Madrid is in immediate need of a coach to replace Ancelotti when he is ready to resign. But even though Xabi will be the head coach, Victor Boniface is still not a name for Real Madrid to target. Victor Boniface will most likely be the top scorer for the Bundesliga. But Kylian Mbappé is the striker they want most right now.
If Xabi still wants to continue to stay at Leverkusen, Real Madrid still has many names to choose from, such as Roberto De Zerbi, Antonio Conte, Hansi Flick, and finally, they cannot miss the name Zinedine Zidane on the list. Some media reports have said that he will return as a coach. It's great that the French legend returned to the Real Madrid hot seat.

Today I witness something very strange in the area where I live recently. There was a gambling shop that was not too far from where I am staying, so every day different gamblers visit the shop to bet on games, some win and some don't win a dime.

So, yesterday afternoon, a man bet on a midnight game and the game played accordingly as predicted, but the surprising thing was that the betting agent ran away with the money the man won, and the betting agent is no where to be found.

However, I am here to say these are the reasons why it is not always good to gamble in a betting agent's shop, because if the manager of the shop does not run with the money a gambler wins, then one of the workers in the betting shop might run away with the money someone wins, so I do conclude that an online gambling site with good reputation is the best for gambler, so what do you guys have to say about this?.

One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.

The owners and management of Manchester United have not put into thoughts or discussion to show Erik Ten Hag the sack letter. Sacking Erik Ten Hag would be a dump move honestly.
That would be a dump way to acknowledge a coach that won both the way to the top four and winning them a trophy in his very first season. He also has more winning rate percentage compared to Alex Fergusons debut season as Manchester United manager.

He will be given this season to thrive once more. Injures are the biggest draw back now. They will do better soon enough.

Vigilance, awareness, and sound security procedures are all necessary for scammer protection.
Here are some of the finest defences against con artists
Learn for Yourself Your strongest line of defence is knowledge. Keep up with typical fraud schemes and techniques. The more information you have, the easier it will be to spot and prevent such frauds.
Check identities Never give personal or financial information to anybody without first confirming their identity. Request formal credentials and check with the organisation by contacting them through their website or other contact details.

You can bypass the restriction and access the website but if you are a resident from that list then you can't be verified when KYC asked and many casinos have mandatory KYC to withdraw funds including Sherbet so the point of such restriction is you can't take your money unless you get verified.

The problem comes only when there are casinos which doesn't have mandatory KYC and let the users to withdraw but suddenly they will seek verification by that time the user will left stranded with no choice other than give up their funds.

Have been wondering if Nigeria government makes bitcoin legalized, and if he does, will our marketers/traders accept bitcoin as exchange for buying of goods. Me I know naija very well, if government talk A we the citizens fit do B, na normal thing for naija. So we have been talking about bitcoin and the government gave deaf ear, but if government finally legalize bitcoin will our marketers accept bitcoin?
From my paspective our marketers will not accept bitcoin as there currency.

• just like what have been saying we live in a digital dispensation and bitcoin has also contributed to our technology world today. And most of our marketers are not well educated about bitcoin, before owning bitcoin the person must have a knowledge about bitcoin, secondly bitcoin has to do with phones and Internet, traders in market will say they don't have android phones. And those business women will tell you straight to your face that they need fiat, some will tell you say them no go school. Just like wetin I talk when government talk A citizens go do B. I even remember last time wey our former president change the old currency and when I took the new naira note to the market, most traders rejected the money that the money looks fake and they will not accept the new naira note.
• scam: most traders for naija don decide say anything associated with phone and transfer na scam. Even some pos point no dey accept transfer, talkless of bitcoin.
• even if government legalize bitcoin that does not mean government will not take taxes, marketers are entitled to pay their tax. Of course government will not accept bitcoin as there tax payment. Marketers pay taxes with fiat currency and not with bitcoin, so traders will say they cannot receive bitcoin as there payment and pay fiat to the government.
• even pos systems does not accept bitcoin, most of our local traders doesn't have bank accounts, and when tranfering fiat currency we make use of the pos machine but how will it work if the pos machine doesn't have bitcoin or other cryptocurreny.
• bitcoin payment has no refunds, when the coin has been mistakenly transfer to another address then it is gone.

Today I encountered again my biggest nemesis on gambling which is being stuck on my gambling progress. I’ve gambling for multiple days in a row with just having a breakeven on my total bankroll. This due to the game doesn’t gave me any long winning streak and only just more losses. The only thing that makes me keep up on the breakeven side is the increased on wager to recover my losses but my gambling result is literally 1 win to 3 or more losses ratio. This is how bad my overall game.

The only good news is this time I remember how this weakness of mine always makes me lose in the past so I stop already gambling and take a break. This is what I’m trying to share here. If you really feel that your gambling doesn’t want to make you move forward by having decent profit and just giving you a hard time then don’t hesitate to quit! Don’t push forward while you are already playing uncomfortably because this will just make you bet recklessly.

Have a break and just gamble newt week or month because a lucky game will make you win easily and not with a very hard to win winning condition.

I have noticed something about some people in this forum...

Why is it that everytime a newbie shows his or her interest in trading Bitcoin, some people will always try to discourage the newbie?  You see them saying things like “Bitcoin trading is not for newbies”

None of us here was born a professional trader, fact is that we all had to start from somewhere. We were all once a newbie, until we started learning and putting in the work.

So when you see a newbie ask for advice on how to start up on their journey in Bitcoin trading, don't try to discourage them, rather give them the advice on how they can start, and also let them be aware of the risks and how to avoid it. If we must grow the community, then we have to learn to encourage everyone to get along, and not try to discourage them.

.
Thanks.

For the time being I have joined bitcointalk and also the bitcoin market. I always hear that, when the market is buying there will be an increase in price of bitcoin and when it is selling there will be a decrease in the price.
My question is that, what makes the price go up as people are buying and the price goes down as people are selling because what I understand is that this action cannot increase or reduce the quantity of bitcoin available, so what action actually makes it to increase or reduce in price, is it the marketers, miners or who does that? Is there any technical reason behind that actually?
More clarification on this will be appreciated.

At one of the local gambling shop I visited during the weekend I happened to listen to a conversation between two bald looking gamblers at the shop talking about one of their gambling colleague who had won a big amount of money amounting to a million in the local currency and due to that win this colleague of theirs' has been avoiding them since e won that money. From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.

After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.
