121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 14, 2024, 08:32:35 PM
If you are to look at Bayern Leverkusen performance and check how they have been playing throughout the season, you will know that Bremen will not be a challenge to Bayern Leverkusen because Leverkusen have played with strong squads that are even doing better than Bremen, and they still win those squads, so if they play in this match, I don’t think they will lose to Bremen. I believe they will win, so they will have more chances of winning the title.

However, the match is very important for them to win because it will give them a higher point than Bayern Munich, who just won another game yesterday, and also give them a higher chance of being the champions of the Bundesliga this season. I’m not expecting a draw in this match nor Bremen to win, but Leverkusen are going to win this match.
it's really an extraordinary, happy day for Leverkusen and the fans, they haven't won the Bundesliga for 11 years and this time it's a historic moment, Xabi Alonso really succeeded in making the team that was not the favorite to win the Bundesliga this season become an undefeated team this season.  Florian Wirtz was the man of the match for this match, he was successful with the hat trick he scored.

Right now Leverkusen's mission is to focus on the European League matches, their next opponent will be West Ham, if Alonso is successful in the European League then I'm sure he can make a new personal history at Leverkusen and become a legend perhaps.

I also agreed about this all but sadly this is not true for the all with in many countries we are having opportunities for the peoples to do things which are good for them and after doing things like these they can improve their lifestyle and also having better things for their life as well but in many developing countries we are not able to do things like these even we are doing all independently and having good profit as well here any mistake or sudden change of rules or policy can create problems for you, and you can lose your all life savings in minutes like we have in our country where in last few years things are going terrible wrong and peoples are also facing huge difficulties even we all know how can things can take changes but no one going to try on this way.
the mistake that poor people often make is that they don't want to learn and improve their lives, even though if they are able to increase their insight into financial literacy then they have good weapons to face unexpected things in the future.  

all those good people who are very rich nowadays have the opportunity to lose their money in unexpected ways but why they can survive this far, it's all because they always update their horizons and also live a stable life (not showing off and getting into debt) because of the problems they face, what many poor people experience is piling up debts and a hedonistic lifestyle.

 These are some methods and practices I think traders could use in controlling their emotions when they lose while trading, you could give your opinions or add more if you got any, also I'm open to corrections so feel free to include some corrections in any statement you feel I'm wrong.
Losing when trading is a common thing that happens to every trader, so don't be sad for long when you lose, this is one sentence that always keeps me mentally alert when trading, there is still tomorrow to rearrange plans, reset the deadline  set and also rearrange the capital which want to spend.  One more thing that is no less important is that you have to join a trading community to get knowledge and also a good mentor because usually professional traders have good and stable mods.
124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: April 13, 2024, 10:45:27 PM
I am not aware of any religion where legalizing gambling. Because based on gambling, there are various types of greed and addiction that bring disaster to people. I will not mention any particular religion because every religion talks about human welfare.
i am a Christian and it is true that gambling can trigger someone into greed and immorality, so gambling needs to be avoided according to religion.

Gambling would have had no effect if people had accepted it as a natural form of entertainment. But because of gambling people are indulging in various kinds of vices. Someone is stealing to manage gambling money which is not acceptable in any religion. Someone is managing their gambling money by taking loans and then having to sell their assets to pay off the loan or for some other reason their life is in trouble. Gambling is outlawed to avoid such problems.
this is very true, gambling that is done for entertainment purposes certainly provides opportunities to win and be happy, but gambling that is intended for profit will definitely be a disaster for the player, so it is very important to set goals for your reasons for gambling, don't let you gamble without rules and guidance, this is what will make you want to borrow money to gamble.
125  Economy / Economics / Re: Why does a country borrow money from the world bank even when they can afford it on: April 13, 2024, 10:23:10 PM
the government will go to borrow money from world bank, i see in my country government borrowing money from world bank to build a bridge it's 6.15 km long and spend almost $3.6 billion and now government collect money or earn money from people who's using this bridge, part of the loan can aslo be paid from this money. a government taken loans money for infrastructural development in their country,
This kind of practice also often happens in my country, our government makes large loans to other parties for infrastructure development and is paid in installments, here the conclusion i can get is that the government is trying to get cash quickly for development and payments. with the installment method over the next few years, as long as the money borrowed is used for the right thing then that is a good thing but if the money is used for corruption, that is the work of a scoundrel.

Desperation,schemes or pure ignorance(it's not uncommon for the entire government of a country to be clueless) and then the powerful countries nowadays leverage that, creating almost infinite debt traps for these poor countries.
Debt traps are often used by strong countries to control the resources of poor countries and one example is China, they have controlled several poor countries in Africa, they are really leeches.
126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Neymar being addicted to online poker on: April 13, 2024, 09:59:55 PM
A recently viral video shows football star Neymar playing online poker while celebrating his daughter's birthday with a group of other people present.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13299361/Neymar-online-poker-daughter-Al-Hilal.html

This to me goes to show that no one is immune from addiction. Neymar may have largeley solved his money problems but still he doesn't seem to be able to control his time spend gambling. Therefore he's seen utilizing his time very recklessly, prioritizing playing the right cards over living these once in a lifetime precious moments the best he can. And if a multimillionaire can get addicted in this way, anyone can. Consider this before spending too much of your precious time gambling. Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!
i believe at first, maybe Neymar tried playing cards to just get rid of boredom, but as time went by, it turned into an addiction. Here, Neymar had to be able to restrain himself from getting involved further in card gambling, even though card gambling like poker is skill-based gambling.  as one of the most expensive footballers in the world, neymar should focus on his training and recovery, not playing poker. i don't idolize neymar, but i feel sorry for him for being someone who is addicted to playing poker.

... I don't know what to do now. Now the bitcoin market has increased a lot, should I sell my bitcoins? I will use it in a small business. Should I be given more time for the job? I have to take a decision in the next two months. Experienced members of the forum give me some advice what should I do.
i give advice as a friend, improve your income first, then you can invest in bitcoin with peace of mind.

if your income only comes from bitcoin then it is wise enough for you to sell the bitcoin you currently have - open a business - then buy the bitcoin back using the DCA method after your business makes a profit, there are many people out there who don't understand the tricks of investing in bitcoin so they sell their assets, their house is just to buy bitcoin but in the end they actually lose because they have no income and have to sell the bitcoin they are holding to finance their living needs.

Let me work you through this step I am using to be a professional trader

1. Learning on YouTube and other PDF resources online
2. Attending conferences and watching trading podcast
3. Find a mentor, whether offline or online. You may not be close to this person but always study his trade
4. Practice always and maintain consistency
i really laughed when i found out that there are still many people who are willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars just to join a trading seminar even though the knowledge shared there can be obtained easily on the internet today or directly by meeting a trusted personal mentor.  Learning autodidactically on YouTube is very good, but it's even better and more effective if you learn directly from a trusted mentor, who already has experience and a good reputation in trading.
129  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation become big challenge for retired people after 10-20 years? on: April 13, 2024, 07:57:50 PM
It is already causing lot of problems for retired people. How much will this problem intensify in future ?
retirees, especially those who have worked in government, will never be in a safe zone, especially as inflation comes unstoppable, therefore, every retiree needs to gain knowledge about managing money and investing money. 

one of the people closest to me is a government employee but he has started investing in property slowly, he said that in his old age, he doesn't want his life to be difficult, he wants to be in a safe zone and far from debt so he works hard while he is still working in government. 

those who are safe in the future are those who prepare all their needs before retirement or old age.
130  Economy / Economics / Re: Cash is not trash on: April 12, 2024, 11:59:06 PM
I have never heard anyone literarily referring to fiat as trash unless that person is living on another planet. I also witness the scarcity of cash but the main reason Nigerian government gave was to add value to the currency but making new currency and taking in the old to limit the number in circulation but didn't see their plan work till today.
if you do research on google, i'm sure you will find one or two currencies that are completely useless (have no value), this is all due to the incompetence of their government, even though managing a country's economy is not that difficult. cash is still the main means of human transactions today, especially for those who still live in poor or underdeveloped areas.  adding new money (printing new money) is not the right solution to increase people's purchasing power, in the future the government may switch to digital currency / fiat and will not focus too much on paper fiat.  fiat will not disappear from world circulation, in fact fiat will continue along with crypto until the end is difficult to predict.

131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network: A failure? on: April 12, 2024, 11:33:38 PM
It's been years since the Lightning Network was launched, yet adoption has been quite slow. Most people are still transacting on-chain, despite the fact that sometimes network fees increase to undesirable levels due to the Ordinals hype. The L2 scaling solution promised to boost mainstream adoption for BTC with its ultra-low fees and blazing-fast speeds. It's still flawed, despite being established for a few years now.

What do you think? Is the LN a failure? If not, why? Should we give it more time to mature? What is the main reason most exchanges, merchants and/or businesses haven't adopted it yet?

Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Smiley
failed, in my personal opinion LN has not failed at all, the biggest obstacle for LN at the moment is adoption, people are still busy using on-chain bitcoin for their transactions and they don't even care when fees are at unreasonable values, apart from that is LN's reputation not yet big because maybe it is still very new, in the long term, the opportunity for LN adoption is quite large, by joining great influencers you can be sure that LN will not die, they themselves will help the liquidity of the LN process, just be patient.
132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 12, 2024, 11:07:15 PM
Manchester City is a scary team for opposing teams because overall they have a very good squad, and the problem in my opinion is, whoever Manchester City is against, they will create a good and strong defense to make it difficult for Manchester City's attacks. And when he is unable to score a goal, Pep Guardiola will make changes to sharpen his attacks and field the right players to score goals. Pep Guardiola is a great coach and has the ability to beat any team, and can keep his players performing very consistently well.
Manchester City still has a big chance of winning the Premier League and Champions League this season, and if Manchester City is able to beat Real Madrid in the second leg then their chances of becoming champions will be even greater. The reason is, Real Madrid is the toughest opposing team in the Champions League and is also called the king of comebacks.
Manchester City is a very strong team, they have dominated almost all local and international competitions, but when they faced Madrid last time, many people criticized Haaland's performance.  The fans especially regretted why Haaland was only able to create a few opportunities, here i saw that the one who actually fought in every match was the coach of each team, Ancelotti and Pep Guariola were great coaches, both of them were difficult to beat.  Today Man City will face Luton, this will be an easy match Man City will definitely try hard to get lots of goals in this match.

Have you ever heard the sentence that not everything in this world you have to own and master, the same goes for trading, trading is not for everyone but everyone can try to learn trading, depending on the intention and how persistent the person is in honing their skills in trading and trading knowledge.  If you want to try trading just for fun, that's not a problem, but one thing you have to understand is that good traders will not use trading as a fun activity, they will be focused and firm, and consistent in trading because of the time, mental energy and money you put into it all when you trade.

Memang tingkat popularitas Komeng tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi bahwa memang hampir seluruh Indonesia Komeng memang sangat terkenal. Saya pikir salah satu alasan mengapa dia meraih suara terbanyak karena faktor kertas suaranya yang terlihat lucu. Selamat buat Komeng yang terpilih jadi anggota DPD semoga bisa membawa perubahan di DPD.
saya yakin jika komeng juga berada di dapil kota saya maka saya akan memilih beliau karena memang saya tidak mengenal sama sekali paslon DPD lainnya selain komeng, mungkina itu juga yang di pikirkan oleh pemilih yang memilih komeng.  komeng tidak mungkin bisa mengubah DPD, selama dia tidak melakukan korupsi dan pelangaaran kode etik lainnya maka itu sudah sangat bagus, seharusnya ketika nanti resmi duduk di kursi DPDD, komeng harus lebih aktif menedngar apresiasi dan keluhan warga, jika dia berhasil melakukan itu maka yakinlah karir politiknya akan mulus bahkan mungkin saja dia akan menjadi gubernur yang di pilih warga nantinya.

The change of coach was of course quite a big influence, especially since Spalletti was one of the teams that made Napoli's performance improve drastically and only in Spalletti's hands could the Napoli team be successful in the last few seasons.
And Spalletti's departure was the end of everything which required the Napoli team to start all over again to work on building this team into a strong team again and that was not easy.
For now, I think Napoli will need the next few seasons to be able to return to being one of the top teams competing for the title, and this season there is clearly nothing more to expect from Napoli.
i predict that napoli will only stop in mid-table for the next few seasons, it will be difficult for them to return to the top 5, the role of the coach is very important for the future of napoli, and finding a figure like spalletti is difficult, maybe it is homework to do.  napoli's urgent need is to find a competent coach who is suitable to train the napoli squad, but until now there has been no clear speculation about napoli's transfer.


the match between Lazio vs Salernitana is in progress, Lazio is currently leading by 3 goals (it is very likely that they will win), in the second half it seems that both teams will not score any more goals.

when i was at school, i had a friend who i always invited to make bets together, just like you and your friends, we also always argued to determine choices and often when we lost, we even laughed and didn't blame each other, but now i don't have friends like that again, each of them is more concerned with doing their respective jobs and taking care of their families, i really want to go back to those days (gambling and betting together with close friends)

Hahaha Liverpool being defeated by Atalanta is kind of a joke to me, even though Liverpool is very much the favorite of the bettors in this match, but who would have thought that he would actually fail the bet because Liverpool lost this match even with a fairly big score. Even though Liverpool played well and controlled the ball more dominantly, they were unable to score a goal against Atalanta, while Atalanta, with all the strength they had, was able to beat Liverpool's strong team.
liverpool's loss to atalanta was the worst day for all the bettors who entrusted their money to this match to choose liverpool even though in this match liverpool were the hosts, atalanta's possession of the ball was actually very low, only 30% but they really played in a disciplined manner so that every attack was what liverpool did could easily be tracked, i saw in the match footage how disappointed liverpool fans were when their favorite team (which was predicted to be the EPL champion this season) was beaten 3-0 by atalanta, winning 3-0 on aggregate, there is little chance of Liverpool being able to win catch up with them at home to atalanta later (leg 2)
138  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you think merit is by chance or lengthy article? on: April 12, 2024, 01:37:28 PM
Initially, I use to think merit is by chance ( i.e something that will just happen) or lengthy article ( i.e writing too many paragraphs and the rest of them), but I have come to realize that, it is more than that.
I have being discouraged several times because of my numerous posts and replies yet no merit then. Even now, some times I use to be discourage. However, the only way to get merit is by posting quality article ( that is what determines merit) which almost everybody is aware of now.
In summary, don't look at the quantity of post you have make so far but instead try to adjust, I mean improve in your posts, above all be consistent and patient that is the key.
If you only prioritize the length of writing and the number of posts to get merit then you will never get it at all.  From what i have noticed, when your account has an attractive reputation, you will easily get "merit", for example if you are active on WO board or Bitcoin technical then you will easily get merit, the point is that you don't create chaos, make disturbing posts or make posts that are personally insulting then your account will get good merit even though the number of posts in your post is short.

Life is full of risks, but the key is to differentiate between risk and reward.

For example, many people cross the street every day because the risk of dying is low and the reward of getting where you want is high.

In casinos the perceived reward sometimes might be higher than reality, and the perceived risk might be seen as way lower than what it really is.

That's part of the casinos business, to make it look better than what it is.
Gambling will always be risky for both the poor and rich so to better manage the risks of gambling, it is important to set clear limits on the budget you want to spend and understand that gambling should be considered as entertainment rather than a source of income. Additionally, it is important to have self-awareness and knowledge of odds and statistics in casino games to make more informed and effective decisions.  In life, risks and benefits are always present and need to be considered carefully in every decision taken. Managing risk wisely is the key to achieving goals without facing undesirable consequences in every decision.
