1081  Economy / Economics / Re: When your passive income equals or slightly above your salary, what would you do on: January 28, 2023, 03:08:14 PM
I have been in a job I detested and although I somehow managed to stay at it for up to 4 years, I didn't even for once let go of my passionate hobby and other passive streams of income I was interested in at the time.
Today, one of my passive interests pays more than my salary. My mind has been yearning for a resignation, but opinions of others and family bears the message of patience with the job I so much detest for reasons ranging from inflation to fear of the unknown.

If you were in my shoes, what would be the best advice you would give yourself and adhere to in this instance?
You already said that you hate your job, I wouldn't stay in a job that I truly hate. I'll value more my mental health than it because it's going to bear more affection to myself than to my pocket.

Since you've got streams of income including passive income and it's earning more than your salary then you've got the answer.

Follow your peace, that's all you need.
1082  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Retracement will finally happen on: January 28, 2023, 03:32:02 AM
That's to be expected.

It won't really just be a straight line that will continue up to $24k-$25k but it has to be retraced and had a dip somehow before it reaches there. But for the meantime, while it's staying on $21k then everyone should get hold of it or still wait for some confirmation until it finally moves to its resistance.

but the other question
 of whether it is good or bad is a bit tricky.
It will always be tricky but then, if you're for the long term that will be good.
1083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Medical student wins lottery 5 times after embezzling graduation funds on: January 27, 2023, 09:21:01 PM
A brazilian medicine college student diverted almost 200.000$ from the graduation comission's funds, which belonged to her whole class, to place high bets through the national lottery.

She won sometimes on short run, but after all, faced a huge loss and went into almost 40.000$ debt. After scamming the lottery, the police department was triggered and the investigation has started.

She was investigated for money laundering and embezzlement. Later on, it was discovered the funds' origin.

Meanwhile, the class students became suspicious about the situation after the woman told on her class Whatsapp's group funds raised for graduation were lost after she invested it in a brokerage firm and was scammed by it, but no further documents and evidences could be provided, because everything was robbed!

Since then, no more updates about the case have been shared on the news. It happened about 2 weeks ago.

Medical student wins lottery 5 times after embezzling graduation funds
When it's come to gambling, no one can really skip the addiction if he/she isn't aware of what can happen to themselves. If addiction strikes, for sure that the person that's been striken by it will definitely do anything to keep his/her gambling needs.

I saw news and situations like a treasurer gambled with the company's fund and it wasn't caught until the company sees the sudden reduction of their funds and it's no longer tallied.

On this student, it's sad that she embezzled the money and she did while she's at that shoe of studying because it's alarming on how much more she can do when she gets older.
1084  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Has someone tried to use ChatGPT to help in trading? on: January 27, 2023, 07:45:23 PM
I see a lot of people are using ChatGPT for various reasons and with that there are now so many videos how it can help it with writing trading scripts etc. Has someone tried it until now?
Trading scripts like making a trading bot for themselves?

I haven't thought of that but I know that chatgpt is really suggesting and giving codes if you ask it to write for a script for specific programming language.

I have an idea but I wouldn't still rely on it if I try to make one, maybe just a reference but not entirely going to be reliant on it.
1085  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Source Of funds on HitBTC on: January 27, 2023, 05:03:58 PM
Hitbtc is known for having a bad service and one of the worst exchanges out there, it's sad that you have been asked for a verification through the source of your funds and if they're not taking the one you've provided then you have to provide what it's like to them as a legitimate source.

So, if they're asking you for a genuine source of funds then that's all you need to provide for them to proceed with your verification just as what they've said at the latter message to you.
1086  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your successes over the past 5 years on: January 26, 2023, 09:45:42 PM
I don't trade like the way I used to trade before because of my tight schedule but I could remember that in all my trading history, I don't think I have ever made any loses in everything combined. Trading is never easy so we just have to be very careful on how to execute trades anyhow because the market does not works the way we think.
My trading history was not too comfortable for me at the initial time when I started trading and until I learnt something from my mentor on his on strategy which later helped to understand how the market moves without much thinking.
I tried hard to be a trader and thought of becoming a day trader. I was convinced that if others can do it, so do I. But reality strucked me that it's not really an easy thing.

Whether I've got free or tight schedule, it's not that easy for me to be at best with it. I still trade but just as you, I didn't trade anymore that I did before because I indulged into losses thinking that they're all gonna be a learning lesson someday.

And that's the lesson that I've come to realize that it's not for everybody and I should be good being a casual trader and more of an investor.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We lose on the long run through return percentage on: January 26, 2023, 08:06:02 PM
It will be impossible for a casino to release money for winners without taking funds for losses. The casino relies on its bettors and our losses will be their way to make a profit. Without our losses, they can't finance the jackpot prizes. That's the cycle of casinos and we can't blame them for making money out of our bets. Expect that we are spending in all our losses and it is already our part to be responsible iforit.
Well, they're a casino and as they say and not a charity so they have to earn from something they offer and that's through the games that they've got.

It's true that without our losses, they can't make a revenue and they can't continue to operate. That's why their main source of income is to earn from our losses and that's an essential thing and no longer a secret.

Some would say the casino is already getting an amount from deposits. But that won't be enough to pay their duties and to keep a casino alive so I think we should let a rightful amount slide for the platform itself.
Yeah, as long as they're just deposits, it's still not their assets unless it's used to play for their games.
1088  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reason why I will never help anyone to invest in crypto on: January 26, 2023, 02:08:25 PM
That's why we should always tell those optimistic friends or relatives or strangers that we talk to and shown interest in investing in crypto that, before investing they should know what they're investing. It's the first rule of all and even the best investors do that.

Just like what we're seeing, those known investors like Warren Buffett, he's not even in crypto because he don't understand it even if we testify in front of him on how it changed our lives and how it's a real money, a real asset that he can surely invest with a little of his money and make a lot from it.

It's simply because he don't understand it.
1089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big money bad for bitcoin in the long run on: January 26, 2023, 11:29:10 AM
You cannot control volatility, whether we like it or not, it's there to stay forever and will move markets in the most unexpected ways that it can. I don't think that whether there is you call big or small money, they're all same.

They all end up inside the economy and circulates within it and thus, the market is living through it.

I understand that this is for all of us and we want it to be limited to us but bitcoin is for all, that's why it's free and we've got freedom. Institutions are gonna join no matter what happens and we've thought of it even before that someday they'll come and invest with us.

1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 25, 2023, 07:21:21 PM
NBA 2022/2023 Season is absolutely phenomenal and full of surprises. Each of the teams surprises with the level of play, except for the San Antonio Spurs, which can be seen that this season they can not find a place for themselves in the league. Constant losses, roster rotation, lack of teamwork. I hope they will surprise us all next season after completing their shortcomings.
I used to be a fan of San Antonio Spurs but when their former roster has retired, there's no longer any spark to the team unlike before when they're with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili.

I guess most teams that are struggling now were used to be great with their former rosters that we've became fans of.

But this time, that era has ended and we're entering to the new era and we have to bear with this reality to sink in.

They have been rebuilding since that dynasty, although there is high hopes that time that Kawhi will be the next generation, but we all know that he went on his separate ways and become a champion in Toronto.

Coach Pop has yet to find his next big 3, he has been experimenting in the last decade or so and continue to tank his season. And hopefully they can find the right players otherwise they will continue to be like this in the next couple of seasons.
After that championship taken with Raptors, I thought that it's going to be a continuous domination for Kawhi but I was wrong with that.

I hope that Coach Pop will have his new great 3 just as the generation that we've seen with those players that I've mentioned which is most likely the greatest roster that the franchise has ever had.
1092  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: is bitcoin a good chance for the future on: January 25, 2023, 03:59:44 PM
I don't know much about bitcoin, and I also want to invest in bitcoin, but I want to ask whether bitcoin has good potential for the future?
Definitely, we'll not be spending our years of our lifetimes if it's not worth it or doesn't have a good future. If the very first time that we've known it and it seems to be a failure, we won't be spending our precious time and money on it.

what,, many people who lose investing in bitcoin.? and I want to know why people experience losses investing in bitcoin?
It's because they haven't planned their goals and probably weren't prepared for bitcoin's volatility. Most likely, they've sold at panic and that's the reason for their loss.

1094  Economy / Economics / Re: Common Currency for Brazil and Argentina: Africa Why? on: January 24, 2023, 05:42:36 PM
Brazil and Argentina is to create one currency to be used and to strengthen their economy in the future, https://news.bitcoin.com/brazil-and-argentina-to-start-working-on-creation-of-latam-common-currency/?utm_source=OneSignalPush&utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=PushNotifications. If Brazil and Argentina can join hands together to create one currency why Africa as a whole can't create one currency in the continent to strengthen their economy? And worse is that no country is even brave enough to tell the others that they should create one currency in the continent except the post colonial African leaders and not the neo-colonial leaders. African leaders are Afraid. African Radical Leaders should come back and speek for us. Gadafi, Nkwame Nkruma, Leopold Sedar Senghor, should return to African scene.
Africa is a huge continent and there are 54 countries in there as per this source. There are many differences I think that each country won't agree with. But, CAR is making a difference on that region.

Unlike the two that you've mentioned, they're pretty few and can easily agree to any terms that they may agree with.

We can even think of a one world currency and that will start with bitcoin but, I think that we're still not yet there and the world isn't ready to embrace it.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Too accessible of online casino grows addiction faster? on: January 24, 2023, 02:11:44 PM
I have a discussion with a close relative about online gambling and he said something that about how he hate gambling online because it's too addictive, he claimed real life casinos are better and less addictive because he will have to drive down to Las Vegas to gamble or drive down to a local casino and this still takes some physical effort and it discourages many people from frequenting gambling.

He said with online gambling it's available on through mobile phones and you can play at any time, this means no shortage of gambling around the clock and no shortage of losing money as well, you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 

He's got a point but I think that he just like to gamble more with physical casinos than of online casinos.

The attributes are just the same and he's still going to be addictive in going into the physical casinos but, it's understandable of his comparison about being accessible quickly than of needing the effort to visit the physical one.

But no matter what a gambler chooses, if he's got into the process of being addicted, there won't be any exception. Online or physical gambling, they'll still going to end up with the same result of making an irresponsible gambler addicted.
1096  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Crypto Recovery on: January 24, 2023, 11:08:31 AM
I've read of a legitimate service that has been suggested through the forum but later on, many started to have doubts on it.
Are you referring to Dave's wallet recovery service or another one? AFAIK Dave is still quite popular for recovery services as mentioned above.
I think that's the other one that has started to have some troubles, I'm not quite sure if that's the one that I've known and read recently.

But if you know how to do it and have the means to do so (remember some of your passwords, etc) then doing it on your own would be the better choice.
That's the best option to do and just to try to remember all of the possible passwords that you've made. Otherwise, it's going to be harder and almost unlikely to recover it.
1097  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The future currency on: January 24, 2023, 09:35:51 AM
As crypto currency is now a form of widely used transaction method of online businesses and many others, the question is will crypto currency overthrown our Normal real money in the future

I believe it may what do you think?
Nope.

I also believe before that it can not until I've been struct by the reality that bitcoin is good as an alternative and not going to be the main currency and it's due to the conflict that the governments have.

They just can't allow solely bitcoin to overtake their fiat currencies unless they're like El Salvador that declared it as a legal tender and the same as Central African Republic. Despite that, they've got two main currencies and that's why it will be used the same as their main money.
1098  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Bitcoin will lead the world's current market on: January 23, 2023, 08:59:28 PM
Do you think bitcoin will be the commander of the world’s currency market like the US dollar in destiny?
Do you mean like replacing the gold reserve? US is still conservative about bitcoin although it's not closing its window to it but I think we're far from seeing bitcoin as the world's standard for most currency to all countries.

But let's just settle it that bitcoin is in another market and cannot be mixed up with the traditional one. The good thing here is that these countries despite with those conditions, they're able to recognize bitcoin and are no longer ignoring the market and value that it has.
1099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Common Online Gambling Fraud on: January 23, 2023, 05:10:25 PM
There's also the match fixing.

And the fraud goes with those people claiming that they know a match that's about to be fixed and from there, they're asking people to deposit and bet also with them.

Those that are gullible to believe them, not too curious about asking for any verifications are likely to fall for this type of fraud. Due to their greediness, they're forgetting to verify and ask certain questions and deposit quickly.

That's the problem that's coming back to them because of being greedy.

Is this really happening these days, apart from in movies and TV series? I seriously doubt it. I mean, of course, match fixing is happening every day somewhere on our planet, but not in the matches of the level high enough to be represented on reliable gambling platforms. So, if someone is saying  to you that a match of high level is fixed, indeed it's stupid to believe them.
Yeah, there were folks that have posted and offered that in here but I wasn't sure if they're for real but most likely, I think that they're not.

And that's the fraud that's being done by other gamblers or users which I've just noticed and I'm sure that not only me that have noticed that but also the other forum members in here.

It really look stupid at all but there's a likely that a few falls for that.
1100  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the bitcoin price continue to increase? on: January 23, 2023, 01:27:33 PM
is it possible that bitcoin will increase again in the near future, or will it decrease again.
We talking about volatility so that's yes for both of it.

We don't know if bitcoin will increase or gonna decrease and how long is that future you're projecting? What many of us are agreeing in here is that as the halving approaches, we're about to get some bump after that.

And that's going to give you the idea that every halving, the bull run's are made. As we wait for that, you need to do something and that's no other than accumulating more bitcoin.
