You're right. That's one thing that we can't deal with and it's a sad truth that even how hard we work hard and smart, there's always this factor on why we have to push further and work even more. This inflation is unstoppable and just as the taxes that we're paying, this is going forever and no one will be able to defeat that unless there has been a government move to stop it and give it wholly to the people. But no, they want people to work their assess all day long so they keep the government keep going on.

And you probably heard it from our country's national team coach that he knows that Italy is strong so, it's like he's suggesting that no matter what happens they'll be defeated by them so there's no enthusiasm in defeating them. Chot is classic and always being like him when dealing about the other teams.

If I'll be choosing one, I'll choose Abando. The guy has just proven himself in two tournaments offshore but with his South Korean Team but the thing with that is, it's hard to get such achievement on offshore leagues and he's shown enough on how good he was.

Yeah, it was a good one but this has been fully claimed already and that's probably why some think that there's nothing good that's coming for Stake's birthday but they've just missed it.

Yup, those that have been satisfied and happy with all of their promotions just have to look and see if they want to participate and if they are eligible for it.

SBF is like an untouchable guy because of how the proceedings go with him against the case he's got with the FTX. And with his involvement with BALD, I don't even know if there is something that will happen on it.

That's sad, that's really how it is when we're investing in projects like this. We'll never know if they'll do good in the near future or if they're there just to scam people. Lesson learned and we have to move on and proceed to the next project that we'll invest so, be careful next time and hopefully it won't happen again.

Ako nga rin, kapag long phase, ok lang din naman pero hindi yung full volume ng courses ang ite-take ko. Kahit na medyo matagalan bago matapos pero hindi naman mabigat sa load ng time kasi nga magko-consume ng oras tapos full time pa sa trabaho. Kung may compentecy at certification yung industry recognized na din sana. May mga ganito pagkakaalam ko pero sa blockchain parang floating pa at madami pang difference kapag ang usapan ay standard di tulad ng ibang tech stack sa IT industry.

Parang gusto lagi nasa media kahit wala namang kwenta sinasabi. Ngayon, may panibago nanaman siyang sinabi na ang Italy ay Italy daw at ang focus daw ng Gilas makakuha daw ng panalo sa Dominican Republic at Angola. Lagi nalang ganyan sinasabi niyan na hindi pa nga naglalaro parang talo na agad. Oo maliit ang chance manalo pero paano naman yung tiwala at boost ng confidence at moral ng mga players kung ganyan lagi ang sinasabi niya tapos minemedia pa. May mali na talaga sa coach na yan tapos kapag panalo syempre ang credits sa kanya at hindi sa mga players.

You can use analysis for both but as you've said that if someone doesn't do that and is mostly doing things according to his emotion then you're right that there's no actual difference.

We've got the same thought about trading as a safer thing than gambling. You know that in gambling, at most times it will trigger you to lose your emotion. While in trading, it's always giving you a reminder that you shouldn't do that with your trades as if it's a very serious matter to be taken.

Actually, it wasn't just talked in here that much. But if you're following the Telegram channel of Stake, the announcement was there. And it's not just always during the birthday of stake but it's like a regular program that they're making. Before anything else, happy 6th birthday to stake and team.

I'll cheer despite that we know that the chance is slim but who knows if there will be a surprise from this roster and even if they're not in the best shape in defense. In offense, they can catch up with that and with the leadership of Clarkson, he'll for sure won't make it easy for their opponents.

Let's hope so.

The crowd cheer is going to give some boost but this isn't enough for sure. We probably have an idea of what's going to happen but we have that belief and saying that the ball is round. So, let things happen and we shall see if our national team will be able to make it or not. But the spirit of everyone going with the crowd is that we'll make it, just do it with heart (puso).

Upsets can happen and Italy's roster is interesting though.

Well, I am pretty sure that I've seen people work hard and very well but it seems that their hard work isn't still enough. So, you're right that they didn't work hard enough. However, in this generation, working smart is another thing that everyone has to consider to become rich. Whilst those that have worked for the rest of their lives and they've got exact provisions for themselves, the definition of being poor on them is subjective on what they think about it. So it has to be both working hardly and smartly or wisely.

That's true, the riches are skilled in making money but not all of them managed to do it equally and rightfully.

Graduate na ako sa isang course na gusto ko at nagagamit ko ngayon sa work ko. Parang gusto ko tuloy mag aral ulit, sana meron silang fast phase track na course na related din sa blockchain. Kasi madami akong nakikita na parang bootcamp tapos certification nalang ang binibigay, kahit na certification of completion lang okay na basta nandun yung fundamentals at basic knowledge ng relative course na yun.

Baka ang susunod sa yapak nila ay ang STI pati na rin Mapua o di kaya parang meron na din ata sa Mapua, di ko lang matandaan.

Mabuti naman at tapos na yang kalokohan ng SBP at Chot gang. Para kasing pinaglalaruan pa nila damdamin ng mga tao kaya invested lahat sa mga drama na nangyayari sa kanila dahil sa mga pinagsasabi ni Chot na bara bara lang. Isa rin itong is Panlilio, di ba may issue yan dati sa PATAFA pati kay EJ Obiena. Bakit ginigipit nitong mga ito yung mga players na gustong gusto maglaro at magdala ng karangalan sa bansa, imbes padaliin nila ang proseso, sila pa nagpapahirap. Meron ngang balita na hindi related sa basketball pero sports din naman na pinadala ng bansa na iyon yung kamag anak lang ata ng government official kahit isa officia athlete. Sa madaling salita, nasa management talaga kung papadaliin nila buhay nitong mga atleta na ito o papahirapan pa.

That's one, I've read a lot of story on how they've worked hard for so many years and yet, they're exhausted, tired and almost got no savings at all. The problem really differs per person and that's why some don't have a lot of obligation and they're likely free with finances and the rest have got a lot of problems on how they're going to budget their salaries because it isn't enough thanks to inflation and lifestyle inflation.

When you're making money and you're doing it the tough way, you'll give the importance and urge that it should be spent wisely because you want it to multiply and don't want it to be gone too soon. While being educated financially, this is also another reason why many don't make it.

And that is because the breadwinner will just allocate the money that he's got into gambling and sometimes, he'll hide secrets of getting a portion of his money so that he can still gamble despite that there are other needs that have to be funded.

I've got friends that have been like that, they're family oriented but behind that they're hiding a problem that they're struggling financially because of one's addiction. I don't know how they're doing right now but I think that they're able to solve that problem eventually. And that's because the wife will leave the husband if he didn't change for the better. There are times that these secrets aren't really good especially if it's affecting the family.

I also want to have my own business that's related to crypto. I'm not new in business and also got a little venture in real estate. Based on my experience, as you've said that we're all centralized and there's common in terms of choices and we like the traditional ones. But the competition in most of those is getting tougher, whilst, in a business that's oriented with crypto, there's not that much on it. I think the best idea is still yet to be discovered. And there are areas where I think this is going to get the attention, while it may not boom quickly but somehow it's going to get the crowd if it clicks. The common is to have a business and accept crypto payments but there are also other concepts where I'm thinking of getting into a business where it's mostly focused on crypto and as in everything is in crypto. Like a coffee shop where crypto folks meet each other and have a good conversation while sipping a crypto-themed coffee name.

I do not think that too many have won with that kind of setup. Majority of the people here have been gambling for a long time but if it's about winning, you'll see how many are happy to share those moments, of course. And it has become a norm when someone wins big, the casino will ask you kyc for that. They also need to comply to their government so whether you like it or not, you have to.

That's nice to hear that you haven't asked to submit kyc when that's a lot of money that you've won against that casino you've played with.

That's right, it is to be expected when you're gambling and you suddenly won huge amounts these days. Even if there's a promise that there will be no kyc from the beginning, you don't believe that.

They'll notice it if you'll withdraw in many small parts and will still end up being kyced.

For daily, it's not low for me but that's already much. And if a time goes that I'll be able to make more than $100 then I'm probably the luckiest person by that time.

That's true because having a clean profit even if it's low rather than losing more or not winning at all. Those gamblers that manage to get a clean profit are the ones that are doing the right thing. When the profit is already seen, they won't waste anytime for them to let that profit stuck. But instead, they're making sure that they'll be able to withdraw that as soon as possible.

That's true and that's where you're just getting started and you're going to get more of it once you try again for the 2nd and more around.

The excitement just starts there and then when the taste of winning is in there, that's how it is going to go. You'll keep to do more of it and likely think that winning is easy and you can do it at most times, that's when you'll try more rounds until you've got nothing left anymore.

Yup, that's even more dangerous because you're craving to win and that's why you'll keep going until you finally get some wins.

Not really but everything that contributes to the excitement and crave that you're having, winning is one of it.

And that's not going to guarantee someone able to make $100 per day. It's better to find a job that will make you earn that much or at least close to that rather than letting the fate work on you because you might even go home with nothing, as in with zero.

That's the usual thing that happens for most gamblers. We think that doing one more is fine until everything gets bad and we're losing more and more because our emotion is being hit by those losses. And by the time that we want to recover more of those losses, you know what's ahead on it and you'll regret that you have decided to chase those losses because usually it doesn't result with what we want to play out.
