No matter what you tell that gambler to stop playing and walk away, it will be based on his choice, because gamblers don't listen to advice when they are winning. The gambler might feel that you are scared that he will win more money and that you were sent by the casino to make him walk away for the casino not to run at loss, and what makes you think that he will even listen to you.
I don't think that people working in a casino can tell a gambler when to quit or not because that is where their weekly pay comes from, the loss of gamblers. Another thing is that there will be rules and regulation in casinos and if they find out that you are trying to make gamblers gamble responsible by limiting their bet, you might get fired or they will never allow you to go close to the gamblers.

OP, i like the fact that you brought this topic up for discussion. I am one of those people who did not buy any amount of bitcoin. Loot at the price now, i wish i bought then, but right now am still confused if i should buy or wait for the price to drop below 40k. But it looks like something that will not happen anytime soon.
I guess that you are not yet ready to start your bitcoin investment journey, if not you will not be waiting for bitcoin price to dip and come to your own price that you want to buy. It id better to enter the market than waiting for the market to come to you. Delay is dangerous as, the pump in bitcoin price might not dip anymore because if the approval of bitcoin ETF in January by SEC is achieved, you might be regretting this very moment that you didn't take advantage of. The price is pumping now because of the news of bitcoin ETF and the upcoming halving. These two event is enough to give you profit if you can start to buy now. I can understand that because you are a newbie and you don't know much on bitcoin market and price movement but you can use the DCA strategy to start accumulating. You should use an mount from your income that wouldn't affect you monthly expenses and also have emergency funds ready so that you can use this amount to buy weekly or monthly based on your cash inflow. We are expecting the bull run by late 2024 or early 2025, by that time bitcoin will reach a new ATH and nobody knows if the price will go above 100k. If you want to wait for the dip, you might end up not buying soon, maybe till 2025 after the bull run. This means that you have missed the benefits that comes with the bull run. |

Seriously, the match will be an interesting one, but the match will be kind of difficult to predict from the way the two clubs have not really been consistent. I am not expecting a draw from the match, am expecting a win from one team, the match will be a difficult one for the two clubs, but let's see if Chelsea will be able to win the match. Chelsea have not been consistent, but I still see Chelsea as a better team than Manchester United. The match has just started, so let's see how the two clubs will perform in the first half of the match.
So far, Manchester United seems to be the team that’s pressing ahead in hopes for a goal. They’ve had a good start and some good chances as well to score goals. If they keep at it and don’t relent on the pressure, they’re sure to score and I think a goal isn’t far ahead. Manchester United had been given a penalty and was saved by Chelsea’s goalie, Sanchez. This was United’s first good chance of scoring a goal and coming in front in this game and with Bruno Fernandes missing the penalty kick, they’ve thrown the chance away. Manchester united is misusing their opportunity as Bruno lost the penalty which would have given Manchester united the lead. The game might change soon in favor of Chelsea and if Chelsea make proper use of their opportunity, they might net the post. Manchester united is missing good opportunity as Chelsea goalkeeper is depriving them from scoring with his brilliant saves. Currently, Manchester united is in possession of the game. Mc Tominay has finally broken the deadlock on the 19th minutes with a good finish after so many attempt. |

Girona currently has quite a lot of winning points and remains at the top of the standings, fighting against Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and other big clubs.Girona showed that they were able to compete with them, even though Girona was known as a team that did not have strength. Girona still has a long way to go, and Míchel, as Girona coach this season, must continue to pay attention to the team's performance in order to remain at the top of the standings.
The performance of Girona is magnificent, shocking, incredible and fantastic. There's no mediocre team consider to be fit to face Girona this season. Mentioning top clubs and not listing Girona among seems more like undereating these clubs. Entering the race with elite clubs is not easy task, Girona did try to encounter the race and they're in already. Girona is no longer classified as average club because they're in the top four this season and they're competing for the La Liga trophy this season. Every season comes with different clubs that's in possession of good energy for league matches. Points drop would have got some people having doubts if Girona would maintain their position and standing on the La Liga table. They still remain underdogs, they're only a great season since they came back from relegation into the Spanish League. There'll be problem against Barcelona. They should give their best. I've always wanted Barcelona to win and defend the league successfully, so I'm sitting on the fence. Meanwhile, Copa del Rey action's tonight. I'll be keeping my eyes on Sevilla if they can see themselves improving tonight. They have too otherwise how we'll they be qualifying for the Europa League Competition. Girona is still performing really well. The thing is, even though they have the same points as Real Madrid, it is still going to be hard for them to perform well continuously and stay at the top of the table against such great teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid, etc. They are definitely a team that was not expected to be at the top of the table. But now since they have achieved that for quite some time, they will have to be very careful that none of the players get injured. Otherwise, it is going to be a problem for them. We are already seeing Barcelona suffer because of injury issues. That's why the performance has dropped quite a lot. It is only injury that can cause a decline in Girona's performance because I see that they are very serious and mean this season with their matches. They have been cosistent with their matches and it is only with goals that Real Madrid is using to be ahead of them apart from that they have the same point. At some point maybe they will not be able to be in the race again but I am still watching to see what will happen when they will be playing big teams. Real Madrid is capable of winning trophy this season, because they are not scared of any club, instead they are the ones that are threat to other clubs and this is what pit them on the better place to win the match. If it happens that Real Madrid and Girona don't want to lose points, then it is still clear that Real Madrid will still win the league with goal difference. |

Not that Napoli isn't a good club, they are and that's why they showed that sign of improvement last season that almost got them into the semi finals of the Champions League, I believe that's the best they have gone in a long while. This season hasn't been too great for them, and is like a cures to every team that won the league title will don't perform well the next season.
Napoli is facing a tough season this season, their performance continues to decline, meaning that their position in fourth place is taken over by Roma and they have to drop to fifth place. The improvement in performance experienced by Roma is very significant, after only being able to achieve 1 win in the first six weeks of this season, Jose Mourinho troops have now succeeded in being in the top four. Now Roma performance is very different compared to the first six weeks of Serie A, their goal productivity has also increased. Roma increasing performance could be a threat to Napoli, if their performance continues to decline, Napoli will be in danger of failing to finish in the top four. It is the other way round for Napoli as they started the season in a good form but currently, they are losing form. I think that they are have some difficulties in their game strategy. On the other hand we should also consider that Napoli was very strong last season and might not be able to be in such super form this season. I must say that this is a difficult moment for Napoli because their recent matches are against big clubs that have made history in football for many years. Roma had difficulties in the beginning of the season but Mourinho has fixed things up and improve the players performance. They have been consistent recently with their matches. Roma will definitely win their next match, but Napoli's victory is not yet sure because they will be playing with a very strong club. |

Value is what matters in anywhere that we are putting our money into. If because I bought btc for $100 and now bitcoin is $43k, I will still buy because it shows that bitcoin had the potential to go higher that $43k+. What you should also put into consideration is that no matter at what price that you bough bitcoin, if you can hodli for long term, you will make profit from it. Anyone that is considering not buying bitcoin because way back it was $10 and now $43k+, is not ready to invest now and he is thinking on buying at the dip, which has shown a sign that the person might miss out the opportunity of buying now because I still see that bitcoin price is still ok to buy now. There must be a feeling of always buying at the top of the market, or am I wrong?
Yea, and that is why you need to use the DCA approach to buy so that you don't feel too emotional. I am only having the feelings that I need to buy more bitcoin because I am still a low coiner, so that I can accumulate aggressively before the bull run comes after the halving, but there us nothing I can do because I have already budget a certain amount that I use to DCA weekly. |

Atalanta must improve, even though they performed quite well in the UEL, they lost surprisingly against Torino. 3 goals from Torino making Atalanta failed to overtake Napoli positions in standing, who also lost by the same score. Next, Atalanta will meet Milan, a team that is currently also inconsistent. In this match, Atalanta must maximize all opportunities to score goals. For AC Milan this is an important match that must be won. Because Milan still has a chance to become Serie A champions this season, this win to keep the points different to Inter Milan still possible to be shifted.
Yes, many football observers are disappointed with the results obtained by Atalanta, what you said is true, if they don't change for the next match, of course it will really affect their future results in the standings, because next week they will face a team whose game is improving last week, of course. AC Milan just wants to steal points at their opponent's home ground to reduce their point difference in the standings. If Juventus final result is a draw against Napoli and AC Milan wins, their point difference will only be 1 point. But I was lucky not to bet on Atalanta winning and or both teams to score, because I only bet with the over 2.5 goals option and I still got my bet. Because ya, in my opinion, atleast Torino can sometimes play well too, so I believe that this match will result in quite good goals. Although indeed, I thought at first it would happen with both teams to score, but in reality only Torino could score with a score of 3-0. Obviously, this is a bad defeat for Atalanta but I think Atalanta have had enough inconsistencies like this every season that I'm not surprised anymore. Torino really death with Atalanta mercilessly and I was wondering if Atalanta was not prepared for that match. Torino showed great dominance in the match and they were able to score three goals in which Atalanta weren't able to score a consolidation goal. Betting on Atalanta would be a bad luck to you because they would have disappointed you and you will secure a loss. Torino players deserves the three points as they won very easy. |

What I noticed recently about ViaBTC accelerator:
The free submission is no more congested (you know what I am talking about). I mean the 100 transaction per hour which takes less than 10 seconds to have been used up, it is no more like that.
Your transaction may not get confirmed after ViaBTC mine the next block. It will take longer time but your transaction will still later be confirmed.
You are right, I used it today and I was thinking that it will be the normal 0'clock timing, so I made a transaction at 10:50am and was waiting till 11 0'clock and immediately, i refreshed my network but my network provided couldn't refresh it die to bad network and I became worried. To my greatest surprise at 11:03am was when the page refreshed and I was angry but still persist on trying, the moment that I paste my transaction and submit, instantly it went and I was very happy for trying. I believe that latest 6hrs one transaction should be confirmed. One just need to be patient, since the tx fee is still high. |

OP, this topic does not belong here, you should move it to gambling discussion.
Anyone that feels he has lost heavily and is showing that on his face should quit gambling because he can't control his gambling activities, and this also shows that the person has used more than the amount that he can afford to loose to gamble. No matter how small that amount is, if it is going to make you look pale or in a bad mood, it means that amount is too big for you to gamble with.
Gambling should be seen as fun and not for profit and anyone that knows this, will live a healthy gambling life. I don't normally have sympathy for anyone that have lost big because it was an act of greed that led them to such big loss and nobody needs to give them any money due to sympathy. Instead you should advice them on how to be a responsible gambler and let them not see gamble as a get rich quick scheme.

This season Barcelona is so difficult to win a crucial match and even Barcelona is no longer a team that has more dominant ball possession when facing a balanced opponent. But in this match I was quite impressed with the appearance of Xavi's foster children especially for Rapinha, although not scoring goals and finally replaced. Excessive celebrations injured Atletico Madrid fans a little but not comparable to the treatment of the club to Him who never gave regular playing opportunities and this goal was quite emotional for Felix.
Lewandowksi lost his instinct scoring in the last three matches and Felix managed to carry out his duties as a front player in two matches. This is a pretty good result because Barcelona managed to maintain the opportunity to remain competing with the two top standings. The next match will face Girona and be an opportunity for Barcelona to minimize the lag points even though it looks difficult because Girona is far more consistent this season.
Barca did well i actually never expected them to win though both teams had good chances while barca had more but were only able to score only one, both team need to work on their finishing especially barca if they really want to win the league but i think they may possibly win against girona. Lewandoski was the worst he is more like a shadow of himself in that game good thing Felix step up against is former team but still yet he also miss a couple of good chance Barcelona won the match it was not by a big margin but the match was a great attacking full game. Barcelona won at home by just one goal with the opposition not winning by much. Anyway, I think Atletico Madrid played well at Barcelona's home ground, they tried so hard to start the game with Barcelona but it was not possible. Barcelona took the lead in the 28th minute with a goal and then Atletico Madrid couldn't get the game going until the last minute. However, Barcelona are not doing very well in the points table due to which they are still behind Real Madrid and Girona. If Barcelona can win the match against Girona, then they have a chance to move to the top of the points table. Real Madrid are currently in the best form which is why they are at the top of the La Liga points table, Barcelona must perform better to take their place. You sound like a Barca fan and don't get disappointed this season because I don't think that Barca will be able to win Laliga back to back due to the drop in their performance. If not for Jao Felix goal on the 28th minutes, maybe the match would have ended in a draw. However, they were able to secure all three points in that game. If Barca wants to win the Lea, they need to work on their performance to make sure that it has no comparison. On the other hand, I think that Real Madrid are in their super form and you should know what that means, and if their injured players are back, then they will be in a super super form and no club will be able to win them either in their domestic league or in UCL. Real Madrid stands a better chance to victory in all two competitions than Barca. |

If I may ask, what do you need the land for, if it is to build your own house, then I will advise to to share this money into two parts and use half part to buy land, I know it might be too small but that was the purpose of you saving this money, and land is also an asset. Buy the land and use the other part to buy bitcoin. I am happy that you have interest to buy bitcoin but don't only think about the profit side alone, you should also have it in mind that bitcoin might not also bring that profit that you are expecting so that you don't get disappointed at the end of the day.
What I will say is this, it is better you use the money to buy bitcoin now because if you want to wait till next year, bitcoin price might be higher than this, because there is news that Bitcoin ETF will be approved by next year January. So if you buy now, you are at the advantage to have more satoshi in your wallet than when the price is higher.
You can also share the money that you want to use to buy bitcoin into three parts, if you are still in doubt, you should use one part to buy now, and use the second part to DCA weekly or monthly and the last part keep it for buying at the dip, so that if peradventure bitcoin price dips, you can use it to buy so that you don't miss out. You are someone that can excel in your bitcoin investment, if you invest in a long term like 4-10yrs and above because you are civil servant with a good pay.
As a newbie that want to start your bitcoin journey, you should use DCA method to buy weekly or monthly with that amount that you do save monthly in the bank till it accumulated to 11k like you said. Use it to buy and before you know it your bitcoin portfolio will reach a significant amount. You should also have a bitcoin target so that it will make you stay focused.
Don't forget not to keep your bitcoin in an exchange, after you have purchase your bitcoin, you should transfer them to your noncustodial wallet.

Yeah, that's right, but not all of them will take the advice of only investing in Bitcoin. Some will still end up putting their money into some altcoins, and it's after they have been disappointed and their money has been lost that they will begin to feel regretful.
Bitcoin is the ultimate of cryptocurrency and that is why you will see that those investors who invested in altcoins due to greed because they want to get rich quick, after they have been disappointed and regret their actions, will come back to invest in bitcoin because they have realized their mistake and want to make things right. The time that they were suppose to use to build up their portfolio to a good level, they must have wasted it on buying and keeping those garbage. Bitcoin investment needs patience, and it is worth waiting a very long time for it to mature to that target that we want, and this can be achieved by regular DCA weekly or monthly because it a a real life investment. This is why it is better to start investing now than think of other altcoins because they can never be like bitcoin. |

Inter is a brutal team and I think this is what makes them so strong and also reminds me of their times around 2010. They had a monstrous defense and they used their chances like no other team. It is tough because once the opponents get into a position to score but don't convert their chances, Inter will be there and knock them out with the next counter attack.
Brutal team? I think it's an exaggerated term.  2 Inter Milan main defenders were absent in the match against Napoli. Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard got injured. But with the existing defenders, Inter Milan defense line was still solid and strong enough. It means it isn't about the quality of their defenders only, it is about the tactic and mentality applied by the coach (Inzaghi). He succeeds to build Inter Milan team to play as a solid team, they are strong in all the lines. It is proven that 2 goals was made by the midfielders in the match against Napoli, Inter Milan doesn't rely on their attackers only for scoring goals. Inzaghi also succeeds to apply a proper tactic for Inter Milan game. It can be seen that even they didn't dominate the match, they still can play effectively. The applied tactics by Inzaghi was what destabilized Napoli team in the match. Inter started with a defensive game and didn't allow any of Napoli players to take a shot as they were all blocked before getting to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper for Inter also did a great job, what baffles me is the midfield of Inter that was very strong and also with their defense. It is a pity that Napoli couldn't stand their ground at Diego Maradona stadium tonight for letting Inter to win them in such a defend less way. Inter has really proven themselves to be the strongest club in Serial A this current time and if they continue in this form, they will win the league because they are more serious and committed to winning their matches. |

I am not surprised to see this, because social media has been a medium nowadays for scammers to socialize with their victims and lure them into their scam trick with offers that are too good to be real. X own has increased significantly, after Elon took over the company.
It is better to avoid any link on social media that you don't trust and stay away from platforms that offers big returns for a tax that is asked of you to carry out because they are scammers and don't get carried away with greed because there is no get rich quick scheme that is real. Don't fall for them as your safety is in your own hands

This Arsenal team is extremely great this season, a side with the most clean-sheet in the EPL this season. I am impressed with the performance of Tomiyasu in this game his energy and concentration shows hinsi back to his former self, pairing with Gabriel .j, Odegaard and Saka to give an excellent combo that's destroying the Wolves team in the first 45mins, Arsenal leading 2:0. Perhaps we should expect more goals to come in the second half as Gabriel .J is yet to register his name into the score sheet.
On the other side of the premier league Burnley is leading 2:0 against Sheffield united who are one man down due to a red card.
Tomiyasu was very brilliant as Arsenal right back today unfortunately got injured and was replaced by White it was a very entertaining and exciting match Arsenal showing their dominance on the game though their wad a last 10 scare when Wolves mounted some pressure as they seek for an equalizing goal when the score line was at 2-1 Arsenal stood their ground and defended very well.to extend their lead on the table by 4 points, meanwhile in the other match, Burnley got their second win of the season by thrashing Sheffield United 5-0 in a thrilling encounter in which a Sheffield United player was sent off in a two bookable offence. Arsenal would be happy to get the maximum three points against a team that has records of beating big clubs. Wolves have won Manchester City and Tottenham this season so I was expecting them to at least get a draw in this game. But Arsenal took the opportunities they had in the first half to get those two important goals. Saka and Ødegaard continued their scoring after they scored in the match against Lens in the Champions League. Arsenal have now maintained their lead in the EPL with four points ahead of Manchester City. If the Cityzens fail to win the game against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow, the Gunners will have less pressure. Let's hope that this season will not be as frustrating as last season. With Arsenal recent consistent performance, I knew that they will win Wolves no matter how difficult the match will be. But the match wasn't difficult as I thought because Arsenal took advantage of the first 15 minutes of the game, to score their two goals immediately they had the chance. I enjoyed the way Arsenal played today and I must say that they are in a good form. Wolves couldn't get themselves early in the game and it was after the two goals have been scored by Arsenal that they realized themselves and understood the game. Arsenal is still topping the table and with their current performance, I can say that it will be difficult for any club to win them. |

It is like Girona might start losing points after they drew their last match. This is because currently Valencia has just netted their post with a brilliant finish by Hugo Duro after he received a through pass, the goal came in on the 57th minutes. This is the 7th goal scored by Hugo Duro for his club this season.
Girona the home side has been dominating the match but their goalkeeper was the one that caused the goal as he left his goal post before Hugo Duro got that through pass that he used to take advantage of Girona goalkeeper. Girona hasn't relaxed since the match start and they have being presuring Valencia after that goal but no goal yet. One thing that I know about Girona is that they know how to turn things around in a moment like this so I am expecting an equaliser.
Girona 0-1 Valencia.

I don't think that it will be possible for there to be World War 3, because it will be the worst of human history. If will might happen, it wouldn't be in this generation because what the current generation is doing is to make sure that peace can come back to those countries that there have ongoing war. We shouldn't pray for war because it is not a good thing to experience.
The currency will depend on who becomes the world power after the war and that nobody can say. If US is still in power then the USD will still remain the world currency.

Juventus now have a real opportunity to become the leaders of the standings... They have an absolute lead in the game and I hope that the second half for Juventus will be no worse than the first... However, Monza have not lost their last five home matches...
I'd also consider it too early to say Juventus would be winners of the Italian Seria A. They could lead for a very short time but for a longer-term? I'd love to see the improvements they'll want to make during the transfer window. Why would Dusan Vlahovic miss Penalties he should have scored? Anyways, this game seems like a fulltime draw results to me at the end of the game, I'm expecting a one goal to seal them game and share points. Juventus might be absent from European Competitions but they'll return better and stronger. They're just one point against inter Milan who will be having a tougher fixtures. Monza is really pressuring Juventus in the second half and they are even playing better than the first half but they are finding it difficult to net the post. Juventus defense is very strong and Monza is finding it difficult to penetrate. If Juventus don't score a second goal to seal up their victory, Monza might end up drawing the match. If Juventus finally win this match, I guess that they will only top the table for two days. Inter will be able to win Napoli and if they don't, in no time Inter will take over the first position. I don't see Juventus that they have that quality to win this season. It is seven minutes to go to the extra time and it is still 1-0 in favor of Juventus. |

Galatasaray and Copenhagen both want to win because they both have the same chance of qualifying from the group phase, while Manchester United must win against Bayern and have to wait for the results of the matches from Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
So I think everything is possible here and Manchester United still has a chance to qualify even though the percentage is quite small.
Being a team whose fate is determined by the results of the matches of other teams is certainly an unpleasant thing and that is what Manchester United will experience. Winning against Bayern Munich even though this looks impossible will be in vain if Copenhagen or Galasataray win in the sixth match, even if their chance to being able to get a third place is also quite difficult so this may be a quiet bad season for Erik Ten Haag at Manchester United and seeing United make a coaching change at the end of the season is very wide open because the owner is dissatisfied with what is happening at his club. From Copenhagen and Galatasaray, the team that will qualify, Galatasaray's chances are quite big even though their last match will be at home to Copenhagen I agree that depending on the fate of other clubs is something that is very disappointing, and that will be experienced by Manchester United at this time. Manchester United can be said to only depend on luck now seeing such a reality. Because if they win against Bayern Munich, then if Galatasaray or Copenhagen one of them can win then it will not make them qualify, only maybe they will be in the Europa League play offs. But still it is something difficult, even their opponent this time is Bayern Munich which we know what their strength is like. Man United qualification to the round of 16 is 50-50 because if peradventure, they could be able to win Bayern Munich which I am not confident on that, they still need to depend on the result of Copenhagen and Galaxataray match to know their fate. They have put themselves in a very tight corner and this is very bad. It is better than United should start preparing for Europa because that is where fits them since they are not that serious with their UCL matches, maybe they will do better there. |

1. Is it necessary for everyone to identify with their local boards and participate in the board discussions?
No it is not necessary, it is a matter of choice for those that understands English Language and can catch up fast in learning on the general board. For those that are not too good with English Language, the local board will be helpful because they can learn and communicate in their local language for proper understanding on whatever that they want know or discuss. I love the local board even though I can do without it, but the local board make you to know people from your locality so that you can encourage one another, and if possible meet with each other base on an event that is worth going 2. I would love to get a detailed aim For each of the local board and also know the kind of thread that's best to be created in the local board.
Important threads on general board that are very useful to help beginners and other high ranks members can be translated in your local language and posted there. Bitcoin discussion should be the most discussed and if other discussion like politics and issues in that country can also be discussed. But if my own understanding it is the general board but the difference is that you use your local language. 3. If it's necessary to participate in the activity of the local board, what happens to the people whose local board is not in the forum.
 If you country is not on the forum home page, you can look for your country here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=11.0 |
