I stuck in a critical confusion , need your opinions , I am going to get admission in a undergraduate course in some days not yet decided, I want your opinion on it, is it important to get college education and certificates about that specific field/subject/degree, because i don't have enough money to invest in education and thinking to buy bitcoin by half of education money , not getting the undergraduate course, you think it is a right decision, or i should learn at college, it may make me socially shy if i don't go to college, If, I will learn everything from books/online, will any company will give me job by just completing school/12th class.? and without any type of certificate .? please answer by quoting every question and word may i forgot to add question mark(it seem annoying like  ) it's important for me please give your opinion i will get broader overview. Very hard to give advice which can potentially change someone's life completely, but in my opinion academic education is not worth it. Well, unless you were planning to become a doctor or a lawyer, which is not possible without a degree and will also be well worth the $$$. In all (most) other cases you'll lose lots of time and money without any assurance that you'll get a job and the money you invested back.  |

In some conversations that I have had with some rich people who are old, they most times always say that they invested in real estate and that was how they made some fortune. Young people understand that investing is key and paramount to securing a better future like these Old rich men did then, But the question now is what exactly to invest in for young people. Is it wise to follow in the steps of the old rich men who had investments in Real Estate, or do they completely now invest in cryptocurrency? The answer is sometimes traced to the one that offers the lowest risk and loss of capital.
The less riskier from Real Estate and cryptocurrency is Real Estate, but less risk,, less reward. The risk that come with the higher volatility of cryptocurrency makes the profit that can be gotten bigger. Will you go for less risk, or big profit?
They should invest in Bitcoin, not crypto. It's much less riskier. But don't mess with shitcoins, or you may end up rekt. And real estate is not 100% safe btw. For example, real estate prices in Ukraine plummeted after the war started from what I've heard. So, you never know when you win or lose. |

The casino is a scam in which they added OP's country to the list of restricted countries for not paying him. That has been deliberately done to exclude him and then offer $2000. Seem the first time I heard of it yet. Normally they will accuse the user of multiple accounts or cheating and will conduct a 3rd party investigation.
He only needs to provide screenshots of his account and the emails to make it a real scam accusation against the casino.
If I’m not mistaken, Citizen of Switzerland is prohibited to use online gambling platform because it their own country jurisdiction to limit its citizens to gamble online. I’m surprised how he manage to submit KYC despite their country is has a law against online gambling. If the OP is telling the truth. He should check post the proof about the real changes on the casino rules after he win and screenshot before he win to notice the changes. As a player residing on a restricted country he should personally stay away on gambling for his own safety though. Even if it's so, he managed to sign up and pass the KYC procedure successfully so he is eligible to gamble and receive winnings. I bet the casino won't notice this if the customer would be losing all the time. The house always wins, they say. |

The final showdown today - WTA final Rybakina v Sabalenka, ATP final Medvedev v Alcaraz. Medvedev and Alcaraz met only once at Wimbledon in 2021 and Medvedev won back then in 3 sets. Indian Wells courts are rumored to be quite slow so that would be an advantage for the Spaniard if compared to a much faster grass courts at Wimbledon. I'd say the outcome will depend on how much remaining energy Medvedev has got. But his chances are pretty high. Rybakina had played Sabalenka 4 times and all 4 matches had been won by the Belarussian so a real tough challenge for Elena today. Nevertheless, my bet would be on Rybakina as she's in top form now and hungry to win the title. Can't wait for the matches to start!  |

War certainly brings huge losses, the loss of life continues to occur, the bombs and damage are so massive that it makes the countries involved in the war suffer huge losses, and during a war of course there is no economic activity, the farmers cannot take care of the rice fields, oil and gas is disrupted thus creating problems complicated.
Russia is now suffering colossal losses in the war in Ukraine, which have not been seen since the Second World War. On March 18, in a morning report to Russian President Vladimir Putin, representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry reported on the irretrievable losses of Russian troops, that is, the number of dead and missing in Ukraine, which amounted to more than 226,000 people. Of these, 165,713 are servicemen of the regular army, 53,592 are members of PMCs and 7,144 are members of the National Guard. In Russia, more than a quarter of a million have already been killed, several times more wounded. Was it worth it to attack your peaceful neighbors and try to take away their territory and destroy the Ukrainians as a nation? The losses of the invaders will grow much more when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will soon go on the offensive and the Russian front in Ukraine will crumble. Very interesting info, could you please provide a source/link where you found it? I know that Ukrainian side are not disclosing their losses since day 1, whereas Russians initially started reporting casualties but then apparently stopped and classified this info. I don't think it's possible to find this data online, was there some kind of data leak? |

Wow that's a real sad story, $14k is a lot of money. You should share this info as much as possible and make sure they will receive maximum negative publicity! They will pay you if you'll manage to hurt their business considerably by spreading it. Add them to any possible casino blacklist out there etc. Perhaps you can also find out where this company is registered/located and file a police report there. I wish you all the best, and I hope you'll get your winnings! |

Yes, undoubtedly this is just a hint of a crisis to come. I guess more banks are going bust both in Europe and the US. But that's an opportunity for Bitcoin to become a safe haven for investors. |

I am currently using a LENOVO Core i.5 Laptop. Let's say I have Electrum installed on my laptop and I unknowingly reinstall my laptop and forget to move my Electrum to a storage area that will not be deleted during the reinstallation process.
Will the assets in my Electrum wallet be deleted too?
If they are lost due to deletion during reinstallation, is there a solution to this if someone forgets to secure them?
No, the coins won't be deleted, just the wallet will be. To recover, you can recreate your wallet using a private key or run a file recovery software. There's a fair chance you can get your wallet.dat back. Personally i disagree with "fair chance" considering these condition, 1. Many laptop these days use SSD which has capacity ranging from 128GB to 256GB. 2. SSD has TRIM feature which used to permanently remove deleted files. IIRC Windows run it once a week. 3. Windows 11 has 64GB storage requirement[1], while Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has 25GB recommended storage requirement[2]. Combining that and other written file (e.g. installed application or swapfile), the chance dropped considerably. [1] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications[2] https://ubuntu.com/download/desktopYes, you are correct unfortunately. I was doing some file recovery on a daily basis some time ago and success rate was quite high. But man, time flies and I realized that it happened ~10 years ago and most drives were like 2TB HDDs and barely 10-20% full. So I have to agree, with TRIM and smaller SSD sizes you're in trouble! |

In the women's section, Iga Swiatek lost in the semi-finals to Rybakina, this was her second consecutive defeat to her opponent and in the finals Rybakina will face Sabalenka after she managed to beat Sakkari in two sets. In the final this will be the fifth meeting for the two players and Sabalenka won all of these meetings, but this will still be an interesting match even though Sabalenka is more favored and a 3-set match is very likely.
I watched Swiatek v Rybakina and I have to say Iga had no chance whatsoever. Rybakina was perfect, definitely her best match in Indian Wells (and perhaps best match this year so far). The final, well tricky one. Sabalenka has a great record vs Rybakina but she has already satisfied her title hunger by winning the AO final. Rybakina on the other hand, is in top condition and hungry for revenge. 50:50 but I think I'll just gamble and say Rybakina. ATP is going to put on a show with Medvedev v Tiafoe today. Although everybody would say Medvedev I'm not so sure. As I have mentioned here in this thread already I'm a bit worried about Daniil's physical condition after winning 3 titles in a row. His body can let him down any time. I won't be betting on this match. |

In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim and recently I came across a thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437603.0 seeking for Casinos with paid referral bonuses and I tool out time to read most of the responses there and they all seem impossible to claim referral bonuses. I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses I think that as long as you'll stick to the reputable casinos you're safe. Affiliate marketing can bring you some serious profit but as in every job you have to work hard and you need some marketing talent. Can't just sit and wait for conversions. |

I was introduced to LSD but I am more interested in buying Bitcoin first.
Many of my friends told me to use Blockchain wallet but one of them told me that is not a good wallet. He told me to buy a hardware wallet but I don't have money to buy it.
What wallet to use if not Blockchain wallet?
You don't need a hardware wallet IMO. Just grab any reputable software wallet like Electrum. If you're on Android, there's an Android version as well. In fact, for small amounts you can just use any exchange/custodial wallet. |

Several months ago, there was a similar thread here and I replied that ChatGPT can be quite inaccurate. I have tested ChaGPT quite thoroughly since then and I can say that it's not just inaccurate it's just disastrous! At some point, it just starts to make things up for an unknown reason. It's not just an error it's almost like misleading a user on purpose! I'm not even mentioning that ChatGPT is chat bot, not a gambling bot. So, once again: never ever use ChatGPT for gambling! |

In my country presently, we know how important cash has become, the government decide to renew our Fiat currency and it's not in circulation yet, for some reasons, some people believe that it was intentional because they don't want some bad actors to use Fiat to rig the ongoing election in the country.
But since all this mess have started, many people are suffering, and I as a person have no hold the new fiat Note because I can't get a hold of one yet, and just because many stores prefer Cash than digital transfer, this have make me see how important Fiat currency can be.
Some people will say that Fiat is trash and they keep all their money in stable coins, the truth of this is you are doing things wrong, the stable coins in crypto space are backed by nothing, they can vanish into thin air if the government doesn't want stable coins to exists.
I believe that all stable coins are easier to trample on by the government, more than other crypto projects in this space, Fiat has it's usefulness, let's stop deceiving ourselves, the first time I ever purchased Bitcoin I use Fiat and I believe this is the same as everybody on here, unless you mine your own Bitcoin or get paid in Bitcoin working online.
Do not trash Fiat yourself when it's actually needy, crypto and Fiat must co-exists until the government decide to go digital with Fiat themselves, and Fiat is not trash.
I'm not against cash. Cash helps you keep your anonymity and privacy. That's why many countries are trying to get rid of cash ASAP. Digital money is much much worse. As to the savings and investments, it's much better to keep em in Bitcoin not stablecoins. Be your own bank! |

Not really the votes you imagined, isn't it? 6/6 and 2? Seems like the "we" is on its way to a minority.
Btw, I didn't vote in that poll since you simply asked the wrong questions!
I'm against banning ordinals, but this doesn't change the fact that I do believe they are some stupid monkey jpeg farts.
Not sure what you mean. I didn't imagine any results as you're saying, I just wanted to find out what the situation is like. I don't want some fake, biased results I even invited ordinals fans to participate in order for the poll to be more correct.  Unfortunately, too few people participated so it's unclear so far what the situation is like in real life. As to the "wrong" questions, this is my poll and I'm asking questions and I'm not sure why you're judging me? Create your own with "right" questions, I'll be happy if we'll get a clearer image of what's going on from that. |

In the first semi final its Medvedev v Tiafoe, I think Medvedev will prevail and go to
the final and if so who of the 4 remaining competitors in the 2 remaining quarter finals
could beat him in the final? Alcaraz?
Medvedev is playing really great tennis at the moment. He will certainly win against Tiafoe. I do not see anyone who could beat him in the final at the moment. Alcaraz is not ready yet. Medvedev comes into the final with a lot of confidence. He has already won 3 tournaments this year and will probably win this one as well. I wouldn't be so sure... modern tennis is so athletic, winning 2, 3 let alone 4 tournaments is a huge stress for your body (in fact I can't remember any player in recent times who would do it). I bet Medvedev feels completely worn out at this point and his biggest issue is fatigue not the competitors. He can as well lose to Tiafoe. And let's be fair, Davidovich Fokina didn't play the best match in his life against Medvedev so who knows what could have happened... So there's that. |

I see Medvedev becoming the favorite in this tournament after being able to get past his toughest challenger Zverev, in the quarterfinals he will face a relatively easier opponent and don't mean to underestimate his opponent but Medvedev is currently in his best condition it will be quite difficult for Fokina to stop him, so I don't think that Medvedev will lose in the quarter final match later
Felix Auger-Aliassime managed to beat T. Paul in a long battle, this was not an easy match for him. He needed 6 times to still play after Paul get match point several times, after trailing 3-6 during the tie break in the third set he was able to take all the points to close the match and advanced to face Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.
Danil Medvedev have won the quarter finals and progressed to Semi finals. He have won the match on direct sets 6-3 7-5. As said this match isn't tough as the one he played against Zverev. Alcaraz to play against Felix Auger Aliassime is going to be interesting. This guy is amazing! He won 3 tournaments in a row and now eased past Davidovich Fokina right into the semis! On a Masters series tournament! Anyway, match of the day today (for me) is Fritz v Sinner. I'm not going to bet on this just watch: it's gonna be entertaining! Today's second ATP quarterfinal: Alcaraz v Auger Aliassime and I'm betting on Carlitos in this one. I just don't see the way how Felix can win this, sorry. Although 3 sets are possible. WTA is pretty straightforward today: it's going to be an easy walk in a park for Rybakina and Swiatek. Rybakina is playing Muchova and Swiatek is taking on Sorana Cirstea. |

And I agree, it is naive to let time fix your problems, except that I do not think Ordinals are a problem, which is why I count on time to prove if they are worthy to stay on the blockchain, if you think they cause problems then thats on you to fix them.
Considering how tokens and silly things like the Ordinals attack have never contributed to anything in the real world and have never provided any real utilities, it is obvious that nobody wants them except the gamblers who are making bets on anything they can. They might as well do it on highly volatile tokens that can see huge pumps and dumps. If an alternative is provided to these gamblers, they won't hesitate to abandon the "Token Casino" in a blinking of an eye. A lot of art sucks and has no utility in the real world. What utility does the Mona Lisa have? What utility does Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup lithographs have? Tell you what if I gave you a painting from Picasso it has no utility. Yes, art has value and no utility. Mona Lisa has value in the meat world, but why would somebody want to create a digital copy and sell it? Try painting Mona Lisa and selling it as the real thing? Will be very hard to explain it to the cops... but why does everybody and his dog is selling digital copies of artworks? Ok not all NFTs are forgery but why they're trying to stick it into the blockchain? Art belongs in the museum, not on the blockchain... And all those kitty/monkey pics and Bitcoin chart screenshots? You call that art? They have no value whatsoever. |

 I guess the problems for the European banks turned out much more serious than initially thought. Credit Suisse, second biggest Swiss bank (after UBS) is tanking after the news that there will be no help from their investor Saudi National Bank. |
