Good idea, and I am a supporter of it, but it is not what is normally understood by passive income, although it is. Normally it is something that gives you extra units from what you already have, like if you have 1 Bitcoin and you deposit it in a place and it gives you 4% APR, so at the end of the year you will have 1.04 Bitcoins.

But if you buy a bitcoin today at $66K and sell half of it when the price reaches $132K, you will have obtained $66K of passive income and you will still have the initial $66K of Bitcoin purchasing power left. And all in all you will have only made a few clicks to get it.
The latter is better.

It's hard to find platforms that will give you that 4% APR for BTC, I mean you can find one platform but entrusting them your BTC is the harder part.

If thinking of a passive income schemes to invest it should be one that you have control over  your money,  this is one of the criteria of involving yourself in a good passive income scheme. If it is a scheme that people manage your investment for you, then I will say it is not something that you can truly trust because anything can happen.
I agree.

I'll choose the slower part but I have control over my money, my BTC.

A tip for the youngsters out there, you'd feel this when you grow older. You'll definitely going to find some soup dishes every meal. Or maybe that's just us?  Roll Eyes

Apart from health benefits, it is also gives the necessary essentials for people who can't chew much due to old age
Yeah, well you've just almost exposed me. I'm not that old though but yeah I'm going to that part and it's a very great alternative for those that can't chew well.

But it's better if these soups really has various veggies on it.

even though things have changed adding it once in a while doesn't do anything bad but it should be home made not with the help of any processed instant pack that gives soup when it just boiled it with water.
Like the artificial seasonings?

Well, I don't cook but whatever is the cook will add on it as long as there's the yummy soup, creamy or not and with the veggies, they're top notch and delicious for me.

Hi guys, I am 19 years old and know a lot about finance (ETFs, funds, crypto, stocks, commodities)
I have been Bitcoin swing trading for a year and I am still not profitable. I would like to be self-employed as an investor or trader after my IT education. Does trading really work in the long term to be profitable?

Trading won't work for you as it is not working for most of the people. Use your IT education to get a good job instead of following this dream of all losers "to be self-employed".
Haha, spitting some real deal.

Those that have talents and education and skills, you keep going on with your careers while doing some investments. You don't have to get on daily trading because you see people and influencers sharing their gains by doing it.

Not everyone is good at trading and it's real that many are just going back to their careers after thinking that they'd able to keep up with the market's brutality.

Just remember the meme about that "bro meme and mcdonalds hat".
124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which casino would you trust more: one that requires KYC or one that doesn't? on: June 15, 2024, 07:59:11 AM
It doesn't matter IMO.

What you like most is where you stay. Even if that casino asks for your kyc or any form of verification, that gives you the confidence that whenever you have to deal with a problem, they'll get you by quickly because you're verified.

In most cases, this isn't like this but there's a better service in most that are asking for kyc. But I agree with ralle, you'd not notice the difference between the two.

South America TI Qualifiers has started. I've got three countable teams in here, Heroic, Leviatan and Boom Esports.

But sadly, Boom Esports is currently on the low bracket and this is going to be a tough way for them. While the two others are currently moved on to the next bracket at the top.

And they're going to face each other tomorrow so someone is going to the lower bracket too.
I'd also put beastcoast as one of the few teams to look out for since they performed well on the Riyadh Masters qualifier after beating Boom Esports twice.
Yeah, bc is also a good one although they've got a different roster this time and their former TI roster have been scattered already.

Boom Esports will require a perfect run to qualify for TI, and so far the teams that qualified are from the upper bracket. They'll be the first one if they pull it off and it won't be easy as they could face Leviatan and beastcoast in the deeper rounds.
They have a tougher road than everyone else on this qualifiers. Anyway, I'm not expecting them to survive this tough competition there but I hope that they'll prove me wrong.
126  Economy / Economics / Re: Insurance is important on: June 15, 2024, 06:57:36 AM
insurance that is very worthy to have is health insurance. when you have health insurance, then you can be calmer that when something happens to you, then you have insurance that you can use to pay for your medical expenses. because in this day and age hospital costs are very expensive and i do not recommend that you pay for it with your own money, unless you are rich maybe that is not a big problem, but now the average rich person already has health insurance. so having health insurance is the most basic thing that every individual needs to have.
The rich still purchase their own health and life insurances. THat's how wise they are with money. And you know what they describe insurances?

It's their wealth's protection and so it won't be dropping like a destroyed faucet that will take their forever savings.

Don't forget that it's not just about health insurances but as mentioned, there are too many of them and all of it is what we need but if you can't, choose to prioritize first.

If the place you're keeping it is exposed, you're going to regret that later on. Please put it somewhere safer in your house and I know that each house has that kind of place.
If he live in Gaza, there are no safe place.


Sad but truth and I pray for the peace of everyone in Gaza.

But I guess that since OP is able to post in here and for sure that he's in a safer place. So, that's possible that he's got a safe place in his house or apartment or wherever he is living right now.

He better find one for his own safekeeping.
128  Other / Off-topic / Re: Money buy you Happiness, is this true! on: June 15, 2024, 05:54:46 AM
if I live alone then I can live like a nomad, where they don't care about money because they feel enough with the money they have now, they even feel enough even though they don't have money, but when you have a family, money is everything, the meaning of everything here is that money can pay school fees, money can pay for health and money can help meet daily life needs
That's true being a family guy.

You have to have money for what you care for and that's your priority which is your family. You're forgetting the old self of yours where you can just simply go happy go.

But when a kid is waiting for you to get home and looking for something you brought along your way with your wife, that's something else and that's why you just want to have all the money in the world.

Klay Thompson has removed Warriors references from his social media and unfollowed the Warriors on Instagram. Seems like we may have a trade on our hands here. Klay had a pretty bad year so this isn’t surprising news. Now we wait to see where he ends up and how he feels about it. I’d guess he wants to end his career as a Laker like his Dad, but we’ll see.
I know that this means business to them when they get to transfer to another one, but is it necessary to just unfollow and undo everything that has signed you for almost all or half of your career?

Anyway, that's for sure that he'd be out for the Dub nation.

And going with game 4 today with Mavs and Celtics, looking like we're going to see an extension of it. Anyway, it's just on 2nd quarter and will wait until it ends.
130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can You Memorize Your Recovery Phrase? on: June 15, 2024, 12:51:31 AM
I'm too old for it and probably won't be taking that risk to memorize without having a back up.

@OP, how not secure is the place where you're putting that keys of your wallet? Don't do that, put it somewhere safe that no one is going to suspect that it's something valuable to you.

If the place you're keeping it is exposed, you're going to regret that later on. Please put it somewhere safer in your house and I know that each house has that kind of place.

The Celtics were the only team that deserved to be champions with their performance from the beginning to the end of the season.
Despite that, they still get a lot of hate but I guess haters are everywhere and even in the most beloved teams and players.

Their opponents' injury problems and the claim that they are on an easy path can't overshadow their championship. They also had the best record in the regular season, beating every team.
That might be a factor but not really a big thing at all. Fans are throwing to them this matter as an advantage for them but what they can do? it's not their fault that they're healthy and their opponents through the ladder of the finals are on that situation.
132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm new to the world of Bitcoin - a little late :( on: June 14, 2024, 11:10:26 PM
Everyone is late until they realize in the couple of years to come that they're grateful that they've invested earlier than everyone else.

The same sentiments have been dropped for the past several years but I guess that all of them won't say that they're no longer after deciding to invest in BTC.

And after all of those years, it's easy to recognize that whoever enters now is still early if you're for the long game.

I am not fond of extensions and if I am not familiar I won't install it. But if you see no harm on it and it's helping you to be more productive then that's how technology works.

I see people using ai/gpt's on their works and as long as their companies are allowing it for better results and faster responses and production, it's helpful to them.

Well, it's fun to ask the ai itself with silly questions when I don't have much to do.

And they fall down to the forum probably because of their desperation. But not all of these newbies have a legit concern.

They are writing a long story on how they have been scammed or they've been not allowed to withdraw. While I've seen successful disputes but it's that most of them were losers that can't accept it.

They're coming to that point because they think that it's going to give them a refund with their losses.

Newbie or Jr Member accounts are always to be taken with a pinch of salt we can reckon. You can see out there users who are newbie but obviously have a good degree of understanding of the forum and make comments that are relevant and reveal knowledge. These are usually secondary accounts, but other are simply open for accusation as you say and will not carry much credibility.
I agree but I've seen some newbies that are real new to the forum and have got real accusations and their concerns were addressed and solved by the casino they accused.

They're coming to that point because they think that it's going to give them a refund with their losses.
They could expect compensation, but that will not be granted by the casinos. These losers can create or destroy the name of the casino, but without proper evidence, they won't get the attention of the community in the forum to support them.

Newbies are mostly throwaway accounts. Once they've served their purpose, they'll be discarded, as new ones can easily be created for their schemes. That's why, as responsible users, we should be aware of these newbies. They not only can be victims, but they could also victimize others by ruining the reputation of a casino if we easily get convinced by their stories.
If they're solely just a bunch of losers and the accusations are just man made, they're not going to have anything from them.

And you guys are right with those throwaway accounts, they'd just dispose them and forget them once they are done.
136  Other / Off-topic / Re: Don't live above your affordability on: June 14, 2024, 09:16:49 PM
but it's better to maintain a sustainability for a long term going than living the high classes in just a short term
The rich people can sustain their high maintenance and high class of living. Not everyone is going to afford doing that.

And this is why I am living in my means and not beyond to my means. People think that just because they've got a higher salary, they'll also upgrade the way of their living.

They spend carelessly and for that reason, they thought that kind of life is forever. There are so many factors that people have to remember and be careful of how we live with this generation.

I see that these AIs can program codes, edit and make videos and that's why I think that there's a sense on it. Before, I wasn't worried at all but as they say, it keeps on being developed.
5 years ago, not a lot of people would have believed what we can now do with AI. I too was part of the skeptics. I knew AI was possible, but I thought that it would take a longer time to do advanced tasks using AI. Clearly, I underestimated the technology we have of today. Seeing that AI is now making people more dependent on technology more than ever.
Well, technology innovation was so fast and we didn't expected that it is going to be this fast. I too was fascinated and shocked.

Jobs from the big tech companies are being replaced by these AIs because they're easier, more automated and it's only a one-time payment for them.

No worker benefits and no unions for them to be worried with.  Undecided
There are advantages behind using Ai in businesses however there are also some disadvantages.

1. Dependency on AI might allow for incompetence and let business owners AI come up with end products they have no idea how to make themselves. This dependency on AI without having skills f their own might be dangerous in case the tech fails.
2. Following the first one, AI can be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or hacks and might breach privacy and data of their own very customers.
3. yes, it is just a one-time payment, but it is extremely expensive, and it is not like they will only purchase just one AI machine
Those that you have mentioned are just the few and there's gotta be more that we haven't seen yet but it's already applied by the others.

In business practices, in jobs and other produtivity efforts.

Yes I noticed this also, it’s been happening for years and it’s almost always a new account and that’s why it’s hard to take them seriously.
It's always a new account because they register on Bitcointalk when they have a problem with casino. In fact, they aren't the members of this forum, they only register to solve their problem with the help of DT members.
And they fall down to the forum probably because of their desperation. But not all of these newbies have a legit concern.

IIRC, there's also the same platform that pays that. They've got an ann thread here but I've forgot but it's not a niche only for dreams but for every article that you make, you can publish there.

And cmiiw that they're earning through the views as well, the authors.

I think that was steemit. I have used it before and might used them just to publish my passion in writing but I don't know when.
