I think the easiest way to introduce a regular person to bitcoin is by letting them first understand cryptocurrency and going further to explain to them that bitcoin is a liquid asset for securing future income. I will tell them that it is a form of trading that is that is outside the control of any group of people. I will also inform them that with bitcoin,
there is no need for any third-party involvement in transactions. I will teach them that bitcoin is a digital currency which does not require any central authority, like any governmental agencies or banks. I will show them through practical examples the importance of securing for the future through bitcoin.

To go or not to go? Chelsea risks relegation with their consistent poor performance week after week if Potter stays. Alot of fans have said things like "he is not ready for the job," "Chelsea needs a top manager that can salvage the situation," "he is a mid-table manager,". The fans are so impatient, and I understand.
However, they should remember that Arsenal's Arteta faced the same situation at the beginning of his management in Arsenal but look at him now and the team he has built up.

It can never be me until it is you. This is what I think is the thought that runs through our minds when we gamble or even read to sad gambling stories. We think to ourselves that we are smarter and wiser than those who pour their hard-earned cash into gambling. We think that we are exempt, that we would get out before we reach that point.
But what we forget is that gambling is designed to rope you emotionally that before logic comes into play, you may have had already suffered significant losses and on the path to ruining your life. It is a psychological trick, a game of the mind. This is why, I do my best to be open and speak about my gambling to friends and family. They will always act as my voice of reason.

Bitcoin is not my only source of income. Infact I consider bitcoin not as a source of income but a store of value with potential for future increase. So, I do not even think twice about why I hold.
I just buy and forget about it. It is like buying gold or any other precious metal that you fancy. You buy it and keep it and turn your focus towards something else knowing that it can never depreciate in value. Despite the volatility of the market, my confidence stems from the fact that it can never go to zero.

I would have loved to know the guidelines you used in teaching them about bitcoin, the age range of the kids, and if you tested or will test their knowledge of bitcoin in your next session with them. The bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem is so vast that introducing children to it cannot go wrong. It serves as the foundation for learning about
how the economy works, personal finance, and others. The caveat here is to take it slowly, teach them at their pace and according to their age. Teach them about the pros and cons and the risks associated with each.

Yes, give yourself a break. It is okay. You mustn't gamble all of your money at a go. Clarity and direction birthed during the break. It is akin to taking a nap after a stressful day, you wake up refreshed. As the psychological benefits which I have mentioned, breaks from gambling serves as a regulator for gambling and a measure of your degree of addiction.
Someone who struggles with it is likely moderated to severally addicted to gambling. Watch it and if you have to speak with someone about it to hold you accountable or remind you to take a break, please do.

Yes, Sassuolo played brilliant and that goal shouldn't have been dismissed. I saw no offsides. I kinda not like this VAR thingy.
On the other hand, such stellar performance from Napoli was our expectations as football fans. These two guys, Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen are in top form now and no one can stop them. I would say Napoli is very lucky to have them at this time and they have been instrumental in helping them win (I believe it has happened already) the Scudetto.

There are many ways to become a successful trader. One of the most credible ways I have learned over time is to focus on a viable trading strategy instead of on the profit because in the long run, a great strategy will rake in profit. Additionally, start small. Invest a little bit of money first after you have don tons of demo trading.
The importance of having a personal trading plan cannot be over-emphasized. I firmly believe that it is the bedrock to every successful trade. Every successful trader is patient, know when to trade and when to hold-off of trading.

Investing in crypto should never originate from loan. Taking a loan to invest in crypto is like taking out a loan for your wedding. You will end up thinking on how to pay back the loan rather than focusing on providing for your family. As a crypto investor you shouldn't think of taking loan you will be thinking on how to pay back rather than strategizing a invest more.
It could lead to depression, anxiety and stress especially as a beginner. I will make you think that crypto is a scam. For these and many more reasons, I totally discourage the taking out a loan to invest in crypto.

I did a lot of demo trading for almost a year before venturing into the live trading environment. My concern was that I wasn't good enough and was scared of falling for trading scams. I made up my mind to figure things out on my own.

In retrospect, if I could start all over again, I won't do demo trading for that long, I will try out my own strategies in live trading while being guided by classic trading strategies. I will equally find successful and well experienced trading mentor as well. And I will make sure I stick to my daily plan on achieving my goal during the trading process. At the end of each trading day, I will carry out a review of to see if I did right and how I can maximize my profit. I usually waited until the weekend to do this.

Buying Bitcoin is just the beginning the true test of your friendship is what you do after you have assisted him him investing in Bitcoin. It is such a wide ecosystem that you have to first in my opinion teach him about the security risks involved and how to protect his assets before anything else.

Arsenal are about to repeat the same mistake they made last year. If you can recall well, last year when Arsenal were trying to get to the top 4 they were fourth but then they failed to win the games before the head to head and then lost the head to head losing their position as a result.  It seems like we are about to see a repeat of it. It is game over for them if they can't become clinical in both the attack and defense in their forth coming matches.

Every trader has and definitely would have felt these fears in them which often hinders their business minds. The fear of being wrong has made many traders to not follow their intuition to invest. In addition, if one allows the fear of being wrong to overtake them, they will play it too safe or stay in their comfort zone which will result in a delay in achieving one's goal. I say, make mistakes, be wrong, learn from your mistakes and make it right.

As a trader, to overcome these trading fears, practice good trading habits and have a fail-proof strategy(ies). Ensure thar you stick to the trading rules you set for yourself. Adopt a mindset of focusing on the long-term, it may not be easy but with determination and self-motivation, you will reach your goals.

Sports betting fraud, I would say is as old as man's existence. Is it closely related to greed. It kills the game of soccer especially in the not-so-popular leagues where it is frequently committed.
True soccer fans with keen observation and experience in the sport know that most of the fouls committed during the game do not just happen. It is premeditated. In our local league some time ago, a leaked audio record revealed that a player who plays the defence was received a huge amount of money to cause penalty against his own team during the tournament.
And he actually did, and his team lost in the game. Sports betting fraud happens anywhere and everywhere there the game occur. And as we know it requires a group of people to execute it. Most players are gamblers even some coaches and referees. So, fraud in sport betting is inevitable.

When Asensio broke the Elche's defence to score in the 7th minute of the match, I knew this was going to be one of the easiest matches that Real Madrid would have ever played. And true to that, I wasn't shocked when I watched the 3 more goals roll in. It was very obvious that they were the dominant side.
They had most of the ball possessions, they were mostly in the 18box of the Elche and had most shots on target. I would have loved to see another player take the second penalty shot instead of Benzema or may be the plan was for him to score a hattrick.

Disappointingly Chelsea lost despite their efforts in the first and second half of the game. They created chances and had some fair shots on target, but I am going to give it Dortmund the goal in the 62 minutes was unexpected and one of the best in the tournament that I have seen so far. It was a difficulty run but a great goal one that we would remember for a long time.
We are sure to seem more goals like this due to Chelsea's poor defence if the lapses are not fixed ASAP.

This is the just what I was looking for. A colleague has been battling gambling addiction and now I have shared the link with him. In the coming weeks I will be speaking to high school kids on the danger of gambling addicition and the articles in the blog section will coming in handy in helping me prepare adequately for my presentation.

One of the root causes of gambling addiction can be traced to down to chasing losses. It is like the hangman's noose.
In my conversations with gambler's, some prefer to bet twice, and some others prefer to double down bet with the intention to recover the initial loss which they know is difficult to achieve but can found a way to convince themselves that it is possible.
Once, I double down bet and ended up incurring more losses. I learnt from personal experience that double down bet is way worse than betting twice as your chances of incurring more losses becomes high. Always know when to walk away, you would leave to fight another day.
