1121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: October 12, 2023, 04:44:14 PM
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.

We don't know the whole story, maybe the guy did the same to him so he is just giving back what they did to him we really don't know their relationship or the man is really that stingy to give even a small portion of his winning, and it's not good it speaks of his character.

Here in our country, the tradition is to part some of your winnings if it's a big amount I always give a percentage of my winning whenever I win a big amount even to strangers so in case the scenario shifts they will also return the favor.

Winning a huge amount means luck smiles on you so you should share your blessing so the blessing keeps coming if people see that you are stingy they will avoid and you will have no friend left.


It is always better not to tell anyone of your big wins, as it usually will create problems for you. Friends may start asking for money from you in the form of loans or gifts. Other friends may become jealous of you and some may quit the friendship with you.
In some worse case scenarios, they may try to harm you because of jealousy or even try to snatch your money.

I will prefer not to tell anyone; if I win anything substantial from gambling. This holds true for any money I won, not just limited to gambling etc. The point is when you have money, means that you are happy, what's the point in telling everyone and creating unwanted troubles?
That's how it should be, keeping your winnings a secret, especially large amounts. Because this happened to my friend and when he got a big win and one of his friends knew about it then the others would also know because that one friend told him.
And they come just to ask for a treat and there are also those who want to borrow it, and sometimes friends like that come just because they need it. And this incident was used as a lesson for my friend and when he got his winnings again he hid it or disappeared, and I think this is normal because friends will come when one of their friends is getting a large amount of money. And who knows where the money comes from, and they come with good behavior, and when we don't have money, they leave and disappear, and things like that often happen in friendships.

1123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Hobby Bikes with Bitcoin on: October 12, 2023, 01:52:28 PM
We all have a hobby or a dream, be it big or small.Like everyone else I have a dream from childhood that one day I will grow up and buy my dream bike.I tried many times to buy this bike of my dreams but failed time and time again due to not having enough money.I told the family a lot but they are not willing to buy the bike at such a price so I forced myself to save some money from my job salary and bought a small amount of bitcoins at the moment.I have currently bought about $750 worth of bitcoins to fulfill my dream.One of the reasons for this is that the Bitcoin halving will begin in the early 2024, after which the market is expected to grow again.At the moment, the price of Bitcoin is like this. I bought the amount of Bitcoin with 750 dollars in this situation. If the price of Bitcoin doubles from the current price, then my dream will be one step further.
Was I right to invest in Bitcoin to buy my dream bike?
I gave an example with this picture.


Good decision actually to buy bitcoins and not to rush anything unwanted since you might regret the decision if you bought the bike immediately. you did a right choice for saving bitcoin since it has huge potential to rise up especially that halving is long time speculated by many people and many is positive that we can see a good price to be reached for that time so maybe you will be lucky for that if the saved amount will get doubled for that time and after that you can buy your dream bike. Also maybe next time don't dream on material things maybe target to hit more bigger investment since it can really help you change your life if you do good decision on investing on bitcoin. But also be careful upon expecting to much and make sure that you are always active to see the market daily result on next year so that you can decide if you want to sell while there's a good chance to execute your sell orders and buy your long awaited dream bike.
You are right and the OP did plan and make the right choice because Bitcoin will definitely make that happen, and what I like about the OP is his goal of owning a motorbike. Because if investing has a goal that you have dreamed of for a long time then that will be a motivation and you will be serious about doing it and you just need to be patient to make it happen.
However, if the OP believes or waits for the halving to come and as everyone expects, it would be better if he continues to do periodic purchases or DCA after investing $750. And make purchases according to your ability, even in small amounts, because with this plan OP can realize his motorbike and other goals after the halving comes and you have to be patient.

1125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 11, 2023, 03:59:57 PM
Galatasaray is not a team that can defeat Bayern Munich,  if you analyse the both team Bayern Munich had more experience when it comes to Champions league,  and their coach is also an experienced coach that has won the Champions League even before he came to Bayern Munich.  Bayern Munich had better squad than what Galatasaray has, so I don't think Bayern Munich playing with Galatasaray will be a difficult game.  Bayern Munich performance is still solid and it  won't be easy or possible for Galatasaray to take advantage of them .
Yes, in terms of experience it is true, Bayern Munich is more experienced in this prestigious match, the composition of Bayern Munich's players is indeed superior to above average, but you need to remember that by playing at home, Galatasaray will face fierce competition when they face Bayern Munich later, with full support from the crowd who gave encouragement, this coach's strategy was very important in facing every Bayern Munich player who had advantages in all areas. I'm sure Galatasaray will win. The match will take place with a fairly close score, namely 1-0.


It's hard to think if bayern would be losing against galatasaray. Bayern played against copenhagen in a previous match and it was able winning against copenhagen which was also equal to the galatasaray. I think that the result against copenhagen can become my measurement to believe if bayern will win against galatasaray. I think that the same result will be achieved by galatasaray to lose three points against bayern. bayern is an unpredictable team and it can also come with the different strategy.
Kane will be playing as staritng line up but i think this can also become an easy game for bayern even thought the club play away against galatasaray. Galatasaray was trying to continue the momentum after it was beating MU away.
Bayern's odd is quite good but im stll feeling dilemma to pick bayern or btts/over 2,5 goals.

Likewise, Galatasary played against Manchester United at Old Trafford and Galatasaray was able to beat them at home, maybe Manchester United over Copenhagen.
And in my opinion the previous match is not a benchmark for the next match, and what is seen is who the opponent is. And in my opinion, Galatasaray is not an easy opponent because they have a strong defense and counter attacks which are quite difficult for the opponent's defense. However, I am sure that with the Bayern Munich squad they definitely have the ability to beat Galatasaray, and Thomas Tuchel must have thought and planned it.

I don't see a reason why you can't do both. If you decide to teach then ensure that you will only be teaching one course, that way you'll have time to spare. With the free time you have you can do number 2 as a side job and even do crypto investing at the same time. It's honestly all about time management and improving your skills. If you really want to do it you can always find a way around things to do so. You have to try things first before you can make a definite conclusion on whether or not it will work out for you.

The key point is to make a plan and put it into action, after doing so you'll soon find out what you can adjust and change overall.
Well what you said is very good, why do we have to choose one, when we can do everything simultaneously? It has a lot to do with our intentions and also time management that must be very well organized. Maybe it will be a little tiring, but now if we are defeated by fatigue then we will never be able to progress. Moreover, what OP wants to do is not heavy work that must consume energy, but focuses more on brain performance.
If we are faced with 2 choices, but the 2 choices can be done simultaneously, then the best choice is to do both.
In my opinion, the job of a teacher is not difficult and does not require energy, and as long as you like it and consider the teacher's job as an unsung hero, then you will not feel tired.
And many teachers nowadays have side jobs because they feel they still have a lot of free time after teaching, and I think it would be best for the OP to do both, just set the time to do the second job. Since there is still time after teaching in the afternoon or evening and both jobs do not require energy, I think both can be done.
And you can still invest in crypto even if you do both, because you still have plenty of free time to open your laptop, computer and cellphone. Since OP is so young, I think she can do all that, and even more.
1127  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price guess, 2023 on: October 11, 2023, 01:09:00 PM
In several articles that i have read, there are quite a lot of people who doubt that the next halving will make the price of Bitcoin rise as high as in past history but they cannot reveal with certainty what underlies them for making such a view, i myself am sure that the halving will increase bitcoin price up several tens of percent and there is even a possibility for bitcoin to make a new ATH during the halving, well we are still a few months away from celebrating the bitcoin halving, for the prediction of the price of bitcoin until the end of 2023, i am sure it will not be more than $40k.
There are still some people who are skeptical that after halving bitcoin will not record historical highs again, this is just speculation and we can respect their views as long as they come to that conclusion, not a few who say bitcoin will ATH after halving even some experts who own large companies predict bitcoin can ATH again, we are now just waiting for the time when it will happen which is clear after halving.

Not after the halving immediately jumped but there is some time after that - some say the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, some even say it might happen in 2026 it's just a wild prediction but still makes sense because the previous halving also takes time after the halving.


Everyone is just speculating, because some say the price of Bitcoin will exceed its highest price. And there are also those who say that the price of Bitcoin will not reach its highest price after the halving.
Although many people think the price of Bitcoin will rise after the halving in 2024, there is no guarantee that this will happen as there are several factors that can influence the price of bitcoin and only time will tell.
And it is best to let the Bitcoin price run its course, and also continue to take advantage of the accumulation of more Bitcoin as long as the Bitcoin price is still within your reach to buy it. And just waiting for the Bitcoin price to reach its highest price after the halving, and only patience is needed to achieve what we want.
1128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: October 10, 2023, 07:17:00 PM
Yes, usually there are two types of investors' goals, namely those who trade Bitcoin or crypto regularly to make a profit, or those who buy and hold it or what is called holding until they reach maximum profit and sell it.
Both are mutually beneficial, and supported by expertise.
And trading is not an easy job because it requires full or part time to do it and requires a lot of time and energy for in-depth analysis which in my opinion must be done seriously. And trading is more suitable for those who have a lot of time, or only have trading activities that are carried out seriously in order to generate profits.

And I personally choose holding, because I don't have much time for trading and also don't have the interest to learn it. Additionally, holding is the easiest way for me who has a job to stay focused on my work and let my investments grow to their highest prices.
1129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 10, 2023, 09:17:22 AM
It doesn't make sense, because if the person is sure he will win or always wins at gambling, why does he need other people or friends to fund it. And why didn't he fund it himself so he could achieve complete victory, and if that was true he wouldn't have asked anyone else to fund it.
And I've never heard of it and if I was asked to fund someone else's or a friend's gambling in exchange for getting half of the winnings, I wouldn't do it. And the reason is as said, because it doesn't make sense and if you always win you don't need funds from other people, and he also definitely has a lot of money from his winnings.
Unless I know the trail of gambling results that always win and also have a lot of money or become rich from gambling, maybe I will ask for it myself and even other people will do the same.
1130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: October 10, 2023, 04:56:44 AM
And I agree that gambling advertising on television is prohibited, because television is the most common device and is often watched by all ages. Especially underage children because most of them watch television in their free time or on holidays.
So in my opinion it is not appropriate for them to watch, and if they often see gambling advertisements on television it will make them feel curious, and if they access or download because they are curious it will have a bad impact on them.
And I'm sure all parents love their children and will definitely oppose gambling advertisements on television, and that doesn't mean they think gambling is bad, but certainly for certain age groups. While this is the case in some countries, I'm sure some parents would be uncomfortable with gambling advertising on television because they don't want their children involved.
1131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Precious Metals - the final verdict is in. on: October 10, 2023, 03:33:13 AM
Both are good options in terms of investment, but when it comes to getting rich, Bitcoin is more promising. Gold tends to have a stable price and is very slow to rise and takes a very long time to generate decent profits, and Bitcoin will always provide profits without a certain time limit, especially in the long term which will definitely provide much better profits compared to gold , it can even make us rich.
And although gold can retain its value, people are more likely to store their wealth in Bitcoin, because Botcoin maintains its value and also increases its value, and better than other assets, in the medium and long term, it is much more profitable.
1132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If not for Bitcoin on: October 09, 2023, 05:43:46 PM
And I have to agree with the fact that Bitcoin will now and forever dominate the cryptocurrency market and remain strong, as we know many previous events have disrupted Bitcoin and it is also predicted that someone will replace Bitcoin's position, but Bitcoin remains strong.
In the future, there may be more coins entering the market, but bitcoin will remain the main one and continue to dominate the market as its popularity and interest will continue to increase. And Bitcoin is the only blockchain-based cryptocurrency that has been built since its inception. In terms of market capitalization, Bitcoin is the highest market capitalization that cannot be replaced.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 09, 2023, 04:39:09 PM
Gambling is a place to spend money, although many gamblers consider casinos to be a place to earn money. But in reality, more gamblers lose their money at casinos or gambling sites. So I think all of us here probably have almost the same experience, namely losing a lot of money gambling

I also lost money because I lost on gambling, but maybe not that much. But I know there are people who spend a lot of money for gambling. In your opinion, what should we do if we have lost a lot of money on gambling? Do we keep gambling to win so we can cover up previous losses? or stop and work normally and leave gambling? Or do you have other suggestions?
Gambling is not a place to make money and gambling is just to have fun with a few dollars just like we go to the bar to have fun by spending a few dollars on drinks and other things.
Losing money in gambling is normal and you should just let it go and forget about it because there is no point in thinking about it. Especially if your ambition is to keep playing just to chase defeat, and that will only make you suffer more.
That seems like a sign of addiction. Because you always accept defeat due to playing without control, and you have to change it or stop gambling before you can change the correct way of playing before returning. Without thinking about losing and also making gambling as entertainment that only costs a few dollars, and sometimes luck is always there.
1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning Wisely: Strategies to Protect Your Bankroll on: October 09, 2023, 12:11:26 PM
  • When luck isn't on your side, consider an immediate pause to prevent further losses.
I always apply this when luck is on my side, even if it's just a little luck. I just play for fun and do it in my spare time, especially on the weekends when I'm stressed from five days of work, and I also just bet a few dollars and sometimes get lucky and walk away.
and when I lose a few dollars I always prepare capital consistently, when the capital runs out I don't continue and bet according to the capital I always prepare and don't increase it when I always lose. And all because I learned from the past not to continue betting when experiencing a fairly large losing streak, and regret it.
1135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 08, 2023, 06:58:17 PM


There will be a time for Arsenal to break their record meeting with Manchester City and that was answered in today's match with Arsenal's victory at the Emirates Stadium which finally made them win for the first time after 12 meetings without winning. This was also Mikel Arteta's first win when facing Pep Guardiola. A hard kick that hit Manuel Ake resulted in a winning goal for Arsenal and also secured full points.

Actually, I was quite bored watching this match because there weren't many opportunities created and it was also apparent that both teams played very carefully in this match so as not to make fatal mistakes. Sometimes when Manchester City has the ball, Arsenal has difficulty winning it and on the other hand, when Arsenal has the ball, they seem confused when they want to attack. One thing is certain now that Arsenal have managed to beat their toughest competitors since last season to win the EPL title and this is an absolute good result for the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta bringing on Gabriel Martinelli for Leandro Trossard in the 47th minute was a good choice and their attack became more dangerous in the second half, and had several chances. I saw Gabriel Martinelli feel disappointed several times when his team gave him an inaccurate ball and also when he asked him to give it too late.
Gabriel Martinelli became a hero for Arsenal. Apart from winning this match, Arsenal also just won against Manchester City after 12 meetings.

And I didn't feel bored with this great match, because they played tactically and very carefully. And I am sure that if Arsenal is consistent with their performance and without any of their main players being injured they will definitely lead the standings this season.
1136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is my plan. on: October 08, 2023, 04:32:35 PM
I am still here to gather little knowledge about Bitcoin, I don't need enough knowledge, I can invest while learning Bitcoin

If you don't need knowledge to invest in bitcoin then what are you doing in the forum? Having knowledge is important to understand the difference between assets and liabilities. Some people buy expensive cars thinking this is their asset and they will get back their money by selling them when needed which is especially wrong. As long as you are holding that car it is your liability because it will lose value over time and have maintenance costs.

You can start investing in bitcoin right away but you need to have basic knowledge as well otherwise you will not be able to understand the risks associated with it. It's not like you start investing in bitcoin and forget about it. Other factors like how you can securely store your bitcoin, your profit target and how you are going to take profit in the future need to be considered.
Of course any knowledge before you do it is very important so that you don't make a mistake. And having knowledge about Bitcoin is the foundation you must have and even if you think Bitcoin can provide benefits in the long run, you must also have basic knowledge and understanding so as not to get lost.
And also before you get to know Bitcoin, you need to make sure that you understand Blockchain, which is the revolutionary technology at the heart of Bitcoin. And it is very important to know and understand the negative factors and risks that must be truly known and also know the solutions, and Bitcoin will be profitable for those who have knowledge, understanding and experience.

Manchester United were very lucky because in extra time at the end of the match they were able to make an extraordinary comeback, and I'm sure many thought Manchester United lost against Brentford because until the 90th minute they still couldn't score a goal.
And this season Manchester United made their second comeback in the EPL at Old Trafford, first against Nottingham Forest with a score of 3-2
and second against Brentford with a score of 2-1.
1138  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: October 07, 2023, 04:59:11 AM
It all depends on how quickly you can understand and absorb trading knowledge and also the best way to discover and learn all about trading, you can also explore the internet. And you will find various sources to learn crypto trading and it also depends on your efforts and hard work, and make sure you get it from the most trusted and best sources.
And the best option to learn long-term trading is the best, or at least 3 - 4 months. If it is less than that, you will be more at risk. Trading is not an easy job, and really requires sufficient knowledge, experience and understanding because all of this cannot be obtained in a short time.
1139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 07, 2023, 03:03:52 AM
There is a lot of criticism of Ten Hag right now regarding Manchester United performance because recently Manchester United was unable play as many people expected i know why they unable to showing impressive performance is because Manchester United was facing strom injured but people doesn't want to know it and Ten Hag should be able to solved this issues because i am sure his position as a manager will be threaten if Manchester United lose again today

Manchester United opponent today is Brentford i think not necessary to analysis because Brentford also had similar problem just like Manchester United because i have seen at least 6 players from Brentford was got injured and Brentford last winning was happened on August so if Manchester United can able to performing well i think beat Brentford is not hard task for them and Manchester United has odds @1.72 i think this is good odds to bet
What is clearly lacking in the Ten Hag squad is their defense line. He will definitely be confused by that, but facing Brentford, I think MU can still get an advantage. As long as their opponent is not a team that has strong and dominating attacking power, MU can be superior. that's because Ten Hag's midfield and attack are actually not bad. They are quite aggressive, especially as Rasmus Hojlund is now starting to show his sharpness.
betting on MU would be quite good.
It seems that Ten Hag has changed his strategy and several players are facing Brentford considering that Manchester United is experiencing a losing streak in their last two matches.
Rasmus Hojlund will most likely be the spearhead of Manchester United's attack because he appeared as an excellent starter in the match against Galatasaray and he contributed two goals despite losing 2-3. And in my opinion, Brentford also has a sharp counter-attack and this should be of concern to Manchester United, especially in defense. And I hope Manchester United can recover and get full points in the eighth week match against Brentford, and being in the middle of the standings is not a good thing for Manchester United.
1140  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop discouraging Newbies from Bitcoin... on: October 06, 2023, 06:49:27 PM
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.
Before you know and understand trading, you should also know and understand this forum. Every time they ask or create a thread, there will definitely be positive and negative comments, and what you have to assess well and understand is that these negative comments are actually for your good because they are telling the truth based on risk and experience.
They don't discourage you, they actually give you good advice because you are a beginner who wants to get involved in trading. And what you need to know is that trading has a lot of risks if you don't learn and understand everything related to trading, so you really have to have basic knowledge before doing it.
And their negative comments are probably based on experience and they don't want you to feel the same way and they know what it takes and what to learn and prepare for after experiencing some things. So, you have to prepare everything before doing it, and actually negative comments are not meant to discourage you.
And my advice, you should learn the basics of trading before starting trading, make sure to learn the basics of trading such as technical and fundamental analysis, risk management, and use of trading platforms, and also start with small capital first.
