121  Economy / Speculation / Re: Inflation and Bitcoin's Potential Impact on: May 07, 2024, 08:11:23 AM
not everyone can buy bitcoin for less than $20k and there are new investors entering the market, some have bought for $70k. Not to mention currently bitcoin is correcting and there is no guarantee that it will recover and rise again.

I agree with what EarnOnVictor said, don't invest in bitcoin just because of its history because things are changing with time. In the past, we have seen bitcoin increase by 1000%, 10000% and more. But I think that won't happen anymore because things have become very different, bitcoin has become bigger to be able to bring us such big profits.

In addition, to solve inflation we need many solutions, not just relying on bitcoin, because anything can happen. Think of the scenario, bitcoin doesn't go up in price or worse things happen to it. Don't be subjective and especially with a volatile asset like bitcoin.

When you say less than $20k that can also mean super low amounts and what if BTC drop there one day? But, it's always better to just do a DCA. We aren't still forced to buy the whole coin. Actually it is more guarantee for BTC to recover and rise because like you said, there will always be new people that enters here. There is only no specific time for it, this is why patience is the main requirement here.

When it comes to investing, history is also one of the things that we check but of course we will still compare it to their current performance and decide if they are still good to pick up or not. There are still people who analyse the same as you and this is why they go for a cheaper and newer coins instead. That's up to them and it's their risks or responsibility already whatever happens to them or their money.

Especially those who are new to trade who do not have much knowledge about trade are not aware of the risk involved in trade. Gaining enough knowledge about trade before trading then we have to trade. In trading, we must have a long-term plan. Many times I see that we trade too hastily. If we trade in haste, our losses will increase. So we all must look at the long-term plan about the trade and check the market and trade patiently, surely we will get proper success through this trade in the future. Another important thing in the field of trade is patience. Many times even big traders lose patience, so we must be patient without losing patience. If we keep trading, we will definitely become successful traders one day.
There is no doubt that consistency is something that can make you successful in any field of life. People who give up easily and are afraid of failure fail to understand that failure is the first step to success.

Self-confidence is a good thing but overconfidence can hurt you. I have seen many people who say that trading is also a learning process. There is no such thing as learning and trading where you just go and buy some coins and wait for a while you will profit but this is the opposite of reality and because of such people, many people who start trading on believing what they hear also face failure.

So, it's important for people to know that learning comes first, and you should only start trading once you have learned everything necessary.

Al Wehda is 12th in the league, it doesn't feel like such a big win if you ask me, sure they must be a little bit happy with what they have, but I do not think that it's really that complicated, it is not really that much of a big deal to get this big win, and then people have the audacity to go and say "Oh Ronaldo scored this much all year long!! He is still great!!".

I mean sure he is a good player, you do not become one of the best to suddenly terrible, but at the same time he scored three goals against 12th of Saudi league, how important do you think those goals are, they are really fully completely useless goals, doesn't feel like he even himself cares about them anymore, he could score 10-20 more goals and people would still not see that as achievement.
124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 06, 2024, 04:22:03 PM
Arsenal and Manchester City managed to survive this week without any losses.The head-to-head battle of the 2 teams in the championship race seems to continue until the last week.I think that Liverpool is out of the championship race after their recent point losses.Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-0 at home while Manchester City managed to defeat Wolverhampton 5-1.The fact that both teams defeated their opponents in different ways can be seen as an indicator of how much they still want the championship.
The Premier League title chase is extraordinary. Recent form shows Arsenal and City are world-class. City has an easier schedule and an extra game, thus they may have an edge. Arsenal faces United and Everton, famed for upsets. Consistency matters. Both teams are talented, but the winner will likely make the fewest mistakes.  I wont rule anyone out—the Premier League taught us to expect the unexpected. This will be a great ending, so enjoy the show.
No doubt we are having one of the most challenging fight for the title in this season with now things are clearly favourable for the Manchester City which is having easy games, and they are having 1 point difference from the Arsenal with one match in hand as well Arsenal can go through until last day this will be settled on 12th May while Manchester United will be host them and this will give all view about the end of this season while Liverpool is already out of the competition now we are having just two teams and both are on same level of quality, but one bad match give big setback to Arsenal which is now looking not easy to fix.

Premier League is one of the most competitive and unpredictable league with until last minute we can't guess who is going to win which is really beauty of this league as well hopefully things will be more entertaining in coming games.

So, a few weeks ago someone mentioned (Poke) Table in Stake US.

Right now, I got a pops up video (few of them) for the past few days. The question are simple, when these one is being deploy on Stake.com. It's seem fun, I also seeing (Stake) is held some tournament (POKER) on the game.

I love the interface, mostly comparing to (Poker) table other casino are more complicated for me.
I do not feel fully confident in the poker game, not even at stake which is by far the biggest casino out there these days. The reason is that poker is played at certain places, not going to name them but those are huge names in this world, and definitely one of them bigger than every other one.

So, when you want to find some places to play, you go there and you can find 100 tables all ready for exactly what you want, for the price you want, it could be 1-2 cents blinds, it could be 1000/2000 blinds, you got 100 tables of both of them, in fact you could literally just play in a method where you play a hand at all times ,like the moment you fold at one table, you are at play in another table, it's insane. Hence, why crypto poker world never grew at all.
126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Aviator games on: May 06, 2024, 08:28:04 AM
I have seen pictures, ads, and videos about the game but I have never played it myself. I believe it's a variant of the Crash game that is available almost in any online casino but they just have different versions of it or have different graphics for it. I have never been a fan of this game because it barely makes you win since it crashes any time. You might think that if it has crashed below 2x multiple times then it will go up high, so you bet higher only to see it crash earlier than before.

So I believe that the reason why there aren't a lot of people interested in this game is that it doesn't have a very high probability of making you win unless you are extremely lucky because sometimes you can even get 20x or more in a single round but only if you have the guts to not cashout and keep it going.
127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: May 06, 2024, 07:02:23 AM
Hobbys are the things you are more likely to do, and the main goal of gambling is to give entertainment to the players, could be a hobby too but again not like another hobby, participate in this you must need to play games, or else you are just a watcher only and it's enough to you this applicable too but some players want to enjoy the risk, the fun and roller coaster emotions so they playing the game. This hobby can be an expensive entertainment so you must need to play at your own risk
A hobby is something that you like doing in your free time, and you do it to pass your time when you are bored or sometimes, you would even take time out to do things that you like, those are also called hobbies. So, though one isn't supposed to take time out for their gambling activities because it's not that important, one might take gambling as a hobby and gamble when they have free time because they like gambling and it entertains them.

However, hobbies should never be addictive, they should be things that you do like doing but even if you don't do them, it won't affect you mentally and make you feel like something is missing from your life. So those who know they can get addicted to gambling because they lack patience, they can't have gambling as a hobby.
128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not get discouraged by the current price of Bitcoin on: May 06, 2024, 04:54:43 AM
We should let people be with their thoughts and do what they want, at the end of the day, their decisions are going to affect them and not us. If someone thinks that Bitcoin is a scam because its price didn't soar after the halving event, they should go ahead and sell their assets so that they can regret it when they see the market going up after a few months, but then there will be no going back for them and they won't be able to recover their losses then.

People who think this way about Bitcoin and the market are the ones who lack basic knowledge about the market and things such as the halving, they have just heard about the halving being a signal for a bull run which isn't completely accurate because the market doesn't start going up right after the halving.
129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 05, 2024, 03:22:34 PM
Bologna's performance is quite declining now, they have only been able to achieve 1 win in their last 5 matches and from the remaining 3 matches this season the Bologna team has to face 2 strong opponents namely Napoli and Juventus so I think the possibility of Roma finishing in the top 4 is quite large if This week they managed to win over Juventus.

The Roma vs Juventus match is quite interesting this week, it will be quite an important match for both teams to be able to finish in the top 4 and Roma seems to have a slight advantage because they will be playing at home.
We are currently having three teams at the same level even no doubt Bologna is having decline into their performance but still things are going well favourable for them to have spot for the Champions League in next season as Serie A is having five spots coming matches are also important, but we are having just one lost for the Bologna in last ten games which is giving them good advantage and their game against Napoli is important but still chances they will be able to steal the show as they have done against Roma few weeks back.

Today we are having game important for the Roma because in case of lost or draw Atlanta can overtake them which is currently at his best and tomorrow they are going to play against Salernitana here three points can give them good chance of staying in top five and having chance for the Champions League in next season.
130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: May 05, 2024, 01:26:23 PM
Clermont is currently at the bottom of the standings with only collecting 25 points from 31 matches, experiencing 16 defeats and 10 draws which is a bad result he has experienced throughout this season, Clermont managed to stay in league 1 for the last 3 seasons last season Clermont finished in the top 8 but unfortunately this season Clermont has had the misfortune of having to fight tooth and nail to get out of the relegation zone because currently it is in the lowest position and it seems there is no longer any hope for Clermont to escape relegation.

Tonight he will face Monaco. I don't think Clermont will be able to get full points when he has to visit Monaco at home, Menaco's chances are clearly bigger than Clermont. There is no special reason for Monaco not to get 3 points from Clermont when Monaco wants to stay in second place. as runner up champion at the end of this season he is competing fiercely with Brest for 2nd place.
Clermont which was having stable position in 2022 to 2023 now this season was terrible which bring them down to bottom, and now they are going to live into Ligue 2 for the next season having the worst performance even with their last season performance things were looking much better and mostly were expecting they will do good performance and try to stay in middle of the league table but nothing positive happen to them, and now they are out of the Ligue 1.

Few weeks back when they have draw against PSG in Paris this was looking it's going to be good for them, but they are not able to stay at the positive way and fail to win games which give them boost now after this defeat against Monaco they are having nothing here even now it's not chance for them to have 16th spot which helps them for having playoffs to stay here for next season.
131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 05, 2024, 09:53:22 AM
You are sounding like Arsenal really find it difficult to win Bournemouth but that's not the case because I watched the match live and I can tell you that Arsenal didn't struggle to win, 3:0 winning is not a struggle if you ask me but if it was just 1:0 i could say that the match was difficult for Arsenal because they played with a good sense of belonging knowing too well that any mistakes at this time now is very risky in the sense that if Manchester city loses or draw any of their remaining matches and Arsenal wins all their matches, Arsenal will emerge title winners because they are gapping Manchester city in goal difference of about  6 goals so if Manchester city draw any of their matches, Arsenal may use goal difference to win the league while the both teams may share equal points.
Arsenal which is now leaders with just one point difference from the Manchester City as they are also having one game in hand play their last game against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium was looking nervous in first half just because of this few are feeling they have difficulty to beat them overall their performance was good in this game specially in second half as they were doing good job and having good lead at the end which allow them for staying at the top for another week even situation is still not good for them because now with their own results they are also having to wait for the Manchester City how they perform into their next few games which will decide who is going to win title this season.

We are having aggressive approach from the Arsenal in this season even they lost against Aston Villa at the crucial stage but still their performance was much better than last season, and now they can do best in next season which is going to be more entertaining.
132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 05, 2024, 07:18:22 AM
Anybody else have expected a draw between Cologne against Freiburg ?
I really thought that Freiburg will be win this game easy , so i lost my bet on this also.
If Dortmund keep this playing as they have done today  its possible that they get into final of the Champions League.
Honestly I don't want that and in general Freiburg can always be relied on. But what we see today is everyone playing it safe without taking any bigger risks. If Freiburg had a bigger target they shouldn't lose and conversely, if Koln could hold a draw, of course they would fully study the existing strategy.

So I think it all comes back to the user and they have to be careful in clicking any suspicious links. Regarding the Bundesliga, they are certain to qualify for the Champions League from the top five teams. So here the opportunity to qualify without entering the top four is very wide open for Dortmund.
I was expecting win for the FC Koln as they are trying to survive and this was good opportunity to have three points and chance of survive, but sadly their hard work not allow them to have any goal even they have done good job, and we have all game under well control for them with Freiburg were playing defensive in all game which helps them for having one point and chance for another season in Conference League even still we are having two more games which will give better opportunity to all for having their own chances, but this is huge lost for the FC Koln as they need to win this game and then having good chance in next game against Union Berlin which is also struggling and trying to survive in this season.

Dortmund were amazing in this game, and we can hope for the better result from them in coming game which is going to play in Paris this could be good opportunity to have place into final and their quality and performance both are favouring them for this chance.
133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How my gambling life started. on: May 05, 2024, 05:06:22 AM
personally, I feel that losing money to gambling is way easier to bear than losing ones food, because for many, it's better to lose money and end up with an empty pocket while their stomach is filled up, than be with an empty pocket and as well lose your food as well, which means, you have to go hungry, even with no dime in the pocket.
It depends on our personality. If we are a foodie type of person or our motto is: "Food is life", then yeah that we can't afford to lose our food but for others like me, it's okay to go for hours without a food in my stomach just to do what I love like playing a video game or playing a gambling in the casino.

I can also spend more money in the game than the food that I really like. That is how addict I am on them. Not that I'm proud of it because it is still wrong but I'm only providing my response here. What is more worse is if we don't have both food and money. This is the true definition of addiction and this should be corrected immediately.
134  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy BTC sold for 16 BTC-1 mil USD on: May 05, 2024, 04:19:23 AM
My problem with this "epic sat" being auctioned and sold for 33.3 bitcoin is that it tends to make people believe that bitcoin is non-fungible when indeed it is fungible, this sat now has a different value and can no longer be interchanged with another sat of equal value, when ordinarily it should.

I don't have a problem when things like the "buy bitcoin" paper is being auctioned, of course it is non-fungible and there is something that makes it unique and differentiates it from other pieces of paper or similar writings on them, but bitcoin as a currency is fungible and any utxo should be interchangeable with another one of the same value.
I think it is still a normal satoshi but it's also rare at the same time. I know there is now an NFT in BTC and maybe this epic sat is truly considered to be one of it? If so then I don't see anything wrong when people believe on that but it's up to you if you won't join them. We are not forced here anyway. Some people are only greedy and will always find a way on how can they make more money.

For me, I think what is crazy is not the epic sat but that piece of paper there called "buy bitcoin". In my opinion, it's not that even rare and anyone can do that. Sometimes I don't understand what is happening here in the world or with the people, lol.
135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season on: May 04, 2024, 04:14:03 PM
The Conference League is not the most prestigious tournament, it seems that the attitude of teams like Aston Villa is not very serious about them. I cannot otherwise explain such a defeat at home, and if Olympiacos is so strong that it was able to beat Aston Villa and was able to score 4 goals against them, then in a home match I don’t know what could stop them from maintaining this advantage.

Perhaps Aston Villa themselves are to blame for this defeat, since conceding 4 goals from just 5 shots on target is too much. It's strange, Aston Villa beat Ajax and Lille to end up like this in the semi-finals.
Your point is valid but still this is high level cup and every team needs to give his best for this with I am also having feeling with now most chances Aston Villa is heading for the Champions League in next season so they were overconfidence and also underestimating Olympiacos so they faced this humiliating defeat now they are mostly out of the cup because they need to win by 3 goals difference in next leg game which is surely not easy task for them in these circumstances even this all is part of the game and any team can lost against any team with match day performance is most important for the win.

As mentioned any team can lost the game while they are having bad day, so same happen to Aston Villa while they were hosting Olympiacos which is now going to play second leg game at home and Greece could be not easy for the Aston Villa to have big won.
136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you cashout or wait for the game to conclude? on: May 04, 2024, 11:32:22 AM
Now back to our main point of discussion which is on the second image, out of 17 games, 15 played with just two left and based on the date in the image I think Austin FC won Los Angeles Galaxy 2-0 making it the last game left, now if you were the bettor and was given a cashout of 12.4m out of 36m to be won would you rather be patient for the last game to conclude or you'll go with the cashout? Also note that if you cashout you are safe atleast you have made 11m plus extra cash and if you decide to wait it's either you lose or win 36m, what would you do?
My decision will depend on the last game. I will do some research and analysis to find out whether the side I have chosen has a higher possibility of winning the game or not, and if I has a high possibility of winning and I'm confident about it, I wouldn't cash out and wait for the results because at the end of the day, I must have bet the money that I can afford to lose, so there is nothing wrong in trying my luck which might bring me 2x more than what I can get from the cashout.

However, if after doing my research I find out that the opponent is stronger and the side I have chosen might lose the game, I will go ahead and cashout because it is not wise relying on luck only when it comes to sports betting because luck doesn't have a lot of influence in sports games.
137  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Stake F1 Team on: May 04, 2024, 08:11:42 AM
We are talking about here the VIP level up bonus and not the monthly bonus since it’s obvious that everyone will receive monthly/weekly bonus as long as they wager because it’s a rakeback from all your bets while level up bonus is calculated using unique calculations which only Stake knew.
To clarify, on stake.com rakeback is a distinct VIP perk from bonuses.
You can actually read about it here:
https://help.stake.com/en/articles/4821738-what-is-rakeback-how-it-works-and-how-to-get-it

It says:
Quote
Rakeback is a way of passive earning. You will get a certain amount of coins back from every bet you make.

[..]

If we activate it for your account, you will get 5% of the House Edge on every amount you wager.

So basically for every bet you make, you get back 5% of the house edge back. And this is a promotion that is valid for all VIP levels, even for the lowest tier, bronze. Benefits can be seen in more detail here:
https://stake.com/casino/home?tab=benefits&modal=vip

Stake is quite generous with is bonuses and reward schemes right? There's so many we get confused sometimes  Cheesy
To be fair I feel like they were a bit more charitable back when they didn't have that 40 million hack situation, since then it started to feel like they are not as generous as they used to be and they are not giving that much.

Even starting with the monthly, which they made everyone get used to it a lot and that could be the situation that would be a lot more important. I am not saying that we are going to end up with anything major in that regard, we are seeing something that would get a lot more situations at all, we are seeing a lot of deals where we are not going to really end up being happy, they just decided that it is not worth it and they want to make that money back somehow, which I think our bonuses seemed like a good place to start.
138  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF Responsible for Recent Bear on: May 04, 2024, 06:36:01 AM
It's really hard to see the relationship, but in any case, the volume just ceases to exist in the US as well, so for me it's not the only reason for the price to go below $60k right now. There could be some individuals who are manipulating the price or just trying to create negativity by selling some and newbie traders seeing that huge sell order and they panic and sell. But in any case if your observation is true, then after this downside, in the next couple of months we should see the price going up again and maybe  we could reach at least $80k next quarter.
Or we can say that there is no relationship at all but in terms of bear only because BTC ETF is supposed to bring the price up. I think there is no bear yet but what happened is only a correction, as we know we broke an ATH last time and this correction is not new, so Hong Kong and their BTC ETF approval has nothing to do with it.

I do not think this downside can last for a couple more months but we should recovered by the next few days and that would resume the bull run which can get us to $80k and beyond but if there is a limit to what we can achieve this year, I would go with the most requested which is none other than $100k.
139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 03, 2024, 07:14:22 PM
Leverkusen's been playing lights-out in this Europa League. That 2-0 on the road? Thats a statement win, the best kind. They're not just winning, they're dominating. Clean sheets, away victories - thats the mark of a champion team, believe me. Im telling you, they'll finish the job in the second leg, and the final is theirs for the taking. Now, Atalanta,they're tough, got that home-field advantage to work with. And anything can happen in football. Could Marseille pull off an upset? Maybe. But right now, Leverkusen's in the driver's seat. They're the best team in this competition, nobody even comes close.
So far, Bayern Leverkusen's performance has been very impressive, even sensational. The 2-0 advantage obtained at the Olimpico was clearly a big asset to lock in the second leg in Germany. I really want to see such a phenomenal team in one season to reach the final and bring home the trophy and that would be a sweet note in football history.

Atalanta is also one of the strong candidates to be able to talk a lot in Europe, a draw is also an important asset for them when they face the second leg in Italy. This Italian representative needs to be watched out for because they have proven their prowess when they succeeded in silencing Liverpool, who previously did not receive such a prediction. If Atalanta is able to qualify for the final, Bayern Leverkusen must be wary of it because Gian Piero Gasperini's troops could become a stumbling block to bury the beautiful dreams of Xabi Alonso and his troops.
After performance like this we are having very strong case for the Bayer Leverkusen to end this season with treble because things were not like this before first leg game mostly were expecting challenging game for both sides, but Leverkusen steal the show with style which is amazing and now most chances their spot is secured in the final.

In the other game, Atlanta which is also having good chance of having good end of their season while they are going to face Juventus in Copa Italia final and now also going to host Marseille which ends with draw in first leg game if they are going to keep this performance then surely they can secure final spot with their chances for the top six spots in Serie A are also high because they are having easy game which will help them for having good end of their average season.
140  Economy / Economics / Re: Harmful effect of robot to the world. on: May 03, 2024, 03:34:23 PM
The use of robot in the world is really affecting the economy and also causing unemployment.
If you build a company and you are making 1 million dollars as profit every month and then spends 6000 thousand dollars to pay your works and then you are given the opportunity to buy robots for 1 million dollars that will do the jobs your works are doing without it having faults for 10 years won't you go for it there by sacking your workers.
In the next 10 years there will be high rate of unemployment in the world because job's that should be done by humans are now given to robots and by so doing it will also affect the economy of the world.
Indeed robots has really affected the economy and increased the rate of unemployment in our society.Most employers prefer robots to work in their factory or company because of how efficient they are.If I'm an employer I would never prefer robots to human despite how efficient and accurate they are.Everything has a disadvantage,when robots are misused and are not maintained properly they get bad.It is left for every employer to choose wisely.With how robots have increased the rate of unemployment it shouldn't be a threat to us because the internet has made everything easy that a person can be at home making money from the internet for instance affiliate marketing,content creating etc
In my opinion, robots or AI can only replace people who stay away from changes and aren't adaptive to them. Those who will accept changes and adapt to every new thing happening around them and upgrade their skills very quickly when they sense something bad might happen would never be replaced by a robot or an AI model or anything similar.

We as humans need to make ourselves knowledgeable and capable enough to use robots and AI to help us do our work more efficiently instead of letting them take over. It depends on us, our knowledge, and our abilities whether such things can replace us in the future or not. A robot can't replace you if you do things in a unique way and if you are benefitting the company or person you are working for.
