In terms of Investment, anyone, must be approached with a balanced mindset, considering the potential gains and possible losses, don't rely on such claims that can lead to bad financial decisions and potential losses and if necessary, seek good financial advice from posts in this Forum, friends, family or experts and then pair it with a news issue circulating in the media in order to prioritize it for your long-term financial well-being. When individuals experience losses in the stock market, it can be a challenging and ultimately frustrating situation.

Do you know why I like crypto investors, the existing members know the associated risk because of how volatile the market is in general, and for that reason, they always end their statement with ''Not a financial advice'' so that when things go the other way, they wouldn't be held responsible, because by law, if you advise someone with investing and things don't go as you advise, you can be prosecuted for that advice.

The problem we have with the new wanna be investors want quick money, they would want to be active immediately instead of being proactive about how they will lead the journey, and when they failed on the first attempt, they start wailing and crying that the process didn't favor them meanwhile, they didn't ready themselves.
1222  Economy / Economics / Re: Logic of life on: May 31, 2023, 09:42:45 PM
The logic of life is that you can't earn more than you know,
Any amount you are earning today is 80% as a limit of what you know.

The richest man on earth is earning whatever amount he is earning due to the advantage of  what he knows or  can do.

So, before you can move from earning $100 dollar monthly to $1000 per month,
   One of the major thing you must scale up is your knowledge.

So ask yourself, what should I know that can make me ×2 my monthly income?

Seek knowledge always.

I don't think knowledge is enough to change one's life, if it is, many genius and natural born smart and knowledgeable people will be at the top by now. It works in those days when things were light, the world was still hidden and many people didn't send wealth then but today where almost everyone is searching for money, knowledge is not enough. In today's world, you need capital to make more money, you need a good environment to make more money; when you set up a business in places in a wrong environment where things don't work properly, where GDP per Capita is very small, you will regret going to a business, you will even prefer to rather work under someone than start a business with failure.

Things are now looking different for crypto in china right now, I thought china will be the most hateful country on crypto after they destroyed so many asics that belongs to crypto miners in the country and crypto mining was also banned.

Now china is now taking the biggest approach to embracing web3 and support some crypto projects, since china has banned Bitcoin over 6 times in the past do you think this is another fake move?

I know that Hongkong is the soul location that's doing all this crypto thing, do you think that the whole country (china) will benefit from this or this case will be that Hong Kong will be the location for crypto things?

What's your belief on these? Are they trying to beat the US to it? Because right now the US is playing dumb with crypto and china sees a better opportunity in crypto, what do you think?how will this end?

It Hongkong and I think that doesn't mean China as a country is ready to adopt webb3 as you claimed, just only a small portion of China that is trying to adopt web3, and if at all China later changes its position about Bitcoin, I don't think they will compensate Bitcoin Mining companies that where destroy then because by law, they were mining without approval and that is a criminal offense that is punishable but I'm not trying justify them for destroying the companies Asic machines, they could have sold it or auction them out to individuals that are outside China to generate revenue.
1224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Internet is one limitation of bitcoin on: May 31, 2023, 08:55:46 PM
I am facing a real world issue that prevents me from using Bitcoin.

I live in Pakistan and for last three days cellular internet service all across the country is suspended because of prevailing law and order situation. Internet is working on fixed line connection that is reaching homes. So there is still some connectivity available.

If government shut down internet service even on fixed line connection then there will be complete internet blackout in the country and in that situation we cant use bitcoin.

I think this is also one of limitation of bitcoin that we need internet to use it. 

Sometimes, I wonder if Democracy exists in your Pakistan, why black out the whole country without internet, that is killing human rights and freedom but what do I know, if the majority support such a motion, I think the minor will suffer for their action, everyone has equal right and equal freedom. This is what Bitcoin stands for, a censorship-resistant but right now, access to the internet is the problem.

Have you heard of Elon Musk Stark Net, with this device, you can use the internet anywhere on earth, you don't have to depend on the internet protocol that is supervised by the government, but I doubt if the government will not be against the use of that kind of device because if you have the money and afford 1, you will be able to use the internet anywhere even if your government shut down their own.
1225  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stablecoins on the bitcoin blockchain on: May 31, 2023, 08:37:56 PM
With the introduction of the Ordinals protocol, various adventurers appeared who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to issue tokens on the most famous and popular blockchain. As expected, there were also those who announced the release of stablecoins on the bitcoin blockchain.

So, recently the Stably project announced the launch of its USD-based stablecoin. Of course, the announced emission of $69.420 trillion suggests that it is hardly worth taking this project seriously, and Decrypt additionally cites arguments against this project. But there will surely be other projects ahead that want to issue stablecoins on the bitcoin blockchain. Perhaps these will be some of the currently popular stablecoins.

How do you feel about the prospect of dollar stablecoins on the bitcoin blockchain? Will you use them? How might this affect Bitcoin?

Do you see how USDT is been deployed back to other chains that are safe and faster than Ethereum, they are doing that because of the demand from those chains because Ethereum is killing retail investors with gas fees, and the average person couldn't enjoy using stable coin because what you will be using as the gas fee is enough to use for other stuff, the fees are so high that the more are burned on the Ethereum chain and mint on safe and fast chains.

Now compare Ethereum with Bitcoin, do you think Bitcoin will survive this pain of gas fees? Ordinals were trending just two weeks ago and the mempools became congested with many unconfirmed transactions, what do you think will happen to the Bitcoin network in a Bull run when there will be demand for Bitcoin and stablecoins, an average guy wouldn't be able to cover that costs of transaction and the network will become useless.

there are a lot of adblockers that are free of charge and some do, but still, those are good investments tho. ads were a normal part of youtube, that is also how they can market their premium subscription so they can remove ads. In short, you can use tools such as other adblockers or you can also use other other browsing sites other done google chrome.

I think this ads are force down on peoples throat, they want to make money but not at the expense of personalizing users data but I don't blame them because we live in a society where we don't care about our privacy, I believe Google and YouTube have thousands of users data in tbe sense that if they wish to cause chaoss, it will take them a minute to get it started and the word would easily enter another world war.

There was a time I do used the premium YouTube where I don't see Ads because I love using my phone to watch tutorials then but as I began to learn privacy protection, I stopped and I now use VPN, incognito mode and ad block, I think with these, it will help minimize my exposure with their games.
1227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 30, 2023, 07:40:16 PM
Yes, I also think that at least AS Roma has good quality, because AS Roma has a famous squad and coach. Thus, at least AS Roma has better quality too when compared to the Sevilla coach. But even so, AS Roma still can't promise an easy victory because after all, Sevilla also has a good winning mentality so these two teams have the same chance to win because both have factors that can be favored too.

Sevilla are big favorites for this game honestly having won the Europa League Competition more in the last few years. AS Roma having a great coach doesn't mean he would win tommorow. Roma are not consistent this season and same goes to sevilla likewise but when it comes to winning games and finals in the europa league competition, Sevilla are going to be on guard, my final prediction for the game although would be for them both to draw and during the extra time the game be decided by Sevilla. My finally predictions is for sevilla to win the Europa League Competition.

Judging by statistics, Sevilla was impressive compare to Roma that were hidding under 1 goal they scored in the Semi final, they play and hold Leverkusen for complete 90 minutes without realizing a goal and didn't make attempt either, it was the first goal they had in the first leg that help them in the second leg and qualified to the final and if they want to use same strategy here using halfs of the match, it will back fire. Sevilla is good and for them to eliminate Juventus, I'm confident they will win Roma for sure except if football want to happen that what we wish or think will happen change in the end.

UEFA Champion League final match will begin on Sunday, June 11th and Manchester City has many advantage than their opponent Inter Milan, Primer League have been over last week and Manchester City has more than two weeks get rest and prepare for final match, comparison with Inter Milan still have one match left in domestic league against Torino at this weekend and have seven days later before UEFA Champion League final match.

Its seems give advantage for Manchester City with how many days left prepare for final match than Inter Milan, actually Manchester City available away to Olimpiade Atatürk Stadium, Istanbul and has many days for adapt than Inter. But new football modern they will have fast way for adapting and both team Inter or Man City are the best team success lead to final.

You should be aware that Inter has already sealed ticket for the next season Champions League, their next match against Torino isn't that as important as their next final match in Champions League and from the look of things, it doesn't look like Torino would be able make any difference to Europa Conference league even if they win that match because Juventus already occupied that place and wouldn't come low if they should lose their final match too. The thing is this, Manchester City might look like they are resting but privately, they are training everyday because Guardiola wouldn't give them rest too, only that day will determine who is better and I still remain with Manchester City with a win or draw in regular time.
1229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 30, 2023, 07:09:49 PM
Of course, Real Madrid should have realized this, because even though senior players like them are still useful, but they cannot always be reliable players at their old age. So yes, even if for example Real Madrid still retains them, but if Real Madrid can focus on regeneration by playing young players more often, then retaining them is also not a problem. After all, the most important thing is that Real Madrid no longer relies on old players, because their time is over.

Real Madrid wingers are too good to be replaced in my opinion, they have Rodrigo and Vinicious that always deliver their assist and goals no matter the condition of the game but they need to replace their striker, Benzema and find something to replace Modric, this two are old to have a replacement, they should always be there for second half but Real Madrid need new young players that can play efficiently.

There were some rumors before Mbape made his stand about PSG, it seems they were still interested in that boy and I don't understand their taste towards him, they have wingers already, defensive midfielders and striker should be their priority and they should work on that before the season resume, they shouldn't make the same mistake they made this season repeat itself again.

I was surprised to see the game of Arsenal team players on 28 may. Arsenal won by 5 goals. But if they can play as well as they did in this match, then Arsenal can keep the 2nd position.  Will move from Avastan. But hopefully if Arsenal can perform well in every match then they will be able to go to 1st Avastan. Hope Arsenal will improve the quality of players in the team.

Arsenal players had a great performance against Wolves. But this match was not an important match for them. Arsenal would have been second in the table even if they had not won this match. And despite the defeat in this match, there has been no change in the Wolves' position in the points table. Then the performance of the Arsenal players was quite organized in this match. The performances of Xhaka and Saka in particular were excellent. Arsenal's performance will be pretty stable next season too unless players get injured.

When their fans hopes were high, that was when Arsenal fumble, they failed to defeat two important matches, it was humiliating and disappointing to say that a team like Nottingham Forest used Arsenal loss to run away from Relegation zone, Brighton was understandable since they were not in relegation zone before meeting with Arsenal and they were even way better form than Nottingham Forest only for them to lose to them and start showing seriousness against wolves match that wasn't necessary, nothing really changes when the match ended between these teams. I hope they try harder in next season but if teams that weren't serious should bounce back, they will have a lot of work to accomplish.

Not going to say this can be a safe bet, but we all know Manchester City got a much better situation and they could beat the strong teams Inter Milan could never even imagine to beat them, however betting on Inter Milan is worth taking the risk and this risk can grant goo reward because according to some sources I can see betting on Inter Milan can grant much more reward and since this team in unstable and unpredictable, I think it worth to bet on Inter Milan and take the risk.

I sold my bet and re-stake double chance for Manchester City, the way Inter won their last two matches made me rethink that this match may end as a draw in a regular minute and we may see the extra minute and the penalty, reminded me of how the World Cup ended and I think the double chance of a win or draw will be okay for my satisfaction, Manchester City is still my favorite to win this match but there things we need to reconsider about Inter and how Manchester City will win this match, I have included the risk of that draw for regular time and also add a bet for them to lift the Champions League as a separate bet to manage my risk.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 29, 2023, 09:28:35 PM

La Liga was long over for Sevilla, so the remaining games did not matter to them. Their position in the middle of the standings could no longer be improved. Their poor play at the start of the season meant they were denied cup games the following season. Now, however, they have a very important game in the Europa League final against Roma, so they are preparing for this match, keeping their strength in the home championship.

You are right, Sevilla didn't bothered to put effort in laliga because they were behind,  and not very sure if they will find themselves in a bitter position.  Sevilla concentration is all in the Europa League and their efforts in the Europa League game is really working for them. They might win Europa league

I get annoyed when I see this kind of comment when teams failed to perform their duty. Sevilla failed in Lalia and not because they are having something worthwhile here but because they were exhausted and couldn't do more than what they met in Laliga this season. If not for the extra minute in the Semi final, I don't think they will be here but they luckily passed through that door and that shouldn't be an excuse for their failure. They should use Manchester City as an example that won the English Premier League and is still maintaining the Champions League with Inter, I don't buy the idea of teams using one league as an excuse when they failed in the domestic leagues.

There is still one team that is still not certain to be relegated, but I think there are only two teams that seem difficult to win because they are playing against a team that is in the top zone. They are Valencia who will play against Betis and also, Celta Vigo who will play against Barcelona.

So, because the team in the lower zone is only 1 to 2 points apart, then of course they will still make a big effort to be able to win in the last match later. But yes, as I said before, like only Valencia and Celta Vigo it seems difficult to get 3 points but yes, anything can happen and for me their match will still be interesting to look forward to the final result.

If Valencia is not smart enough, they could come down and risk their position further down, not to relegate but I think we need to see what Barcelona will play with Celta, they could end as a draw because that is what top teams have been playing recently when they know that they are already the league winners and when this happens, Celta can gain 1 more final point or may win the match to gain 3 points and go ahead. However, I don't know why this season, teams were not too serious, their performances are very poor with too much closeness in matches, they don't seem like teams that are determined to me, the unserious ones should be relegated very so that we can have new teams on board.

Supposedly Manchester City's defeat to Brentford in the last Premier League match will not make Manchester City's performance drop in the next match. The fact is true that Manchester City did not play their best squad against Brentford where their line up was filled by a second tier team.

I think Guardiola has that match well planned, they have won the title already and they know that there is nothing big to achieve again except for players who have goals and he thinks Halaand's goals cannot be defeated even when they gamble with Kane, there was still six goal difference between the two players, they have other important match like the FA and the Champions League to prepare for, so I think reserving their squad justify their loss and nothing was really lost.

Quote
Even if Manchester City lost, the fact is that they also played well and created a lot of chances, it's just that there were no goals scored in that match. Brentford did eventually score in the 84th minute, but Palmer was completely unlucky that night regarding several chances. I saw him close to scoring even to avoid defeat, but Brentford were lucky not to concede until the end.

Most of the teams that play against Brentford were back benchers, there performance cannot have the efficiency of players that always start the match but despite the lost, Manchester City did try their best, they had the best ball possession and more chances but there were not any goals from them at the end of the match.

You want to get cured of compulsive gambling because you are too deep into it and you are under professional supervision to cure your addiction, your physician asks you to undergo hypnosis to cure your deep-rooted addiction, will you allow it

Yes / No Why

Quote
Hypnosis can be a powerful tool to treat gambling addiction because it can help people deal with the things they don’t want to deal with, and it can give them better and more productive ways to deal with those things other than gambling.

I'm not certain about the best option, but I believe there might be a connection between hypnosis and meditation. If hypnosis can enhance focus without any negative effects on mental health, I would recommend considering it. Personally, I wouldn't want to be consumed by gambling or any addiction, as it becomes difficult for people with it to help themselves in such situations and it can become a challenge for families to support and uplift someone struggling with addiction. If hypnosis can serve as a great solution to revive people from the depths of addiction, I would welcome the idea of using it to assist those dealing with gambling addictions.

If Manchester City can secure the Champions League title, they will make an impossible record this season. Because this team has already secured the Premier League title. Hopefully, if they secure the Champions League title, this team will become much stronger and more expensive next season.
For this season Manchester City will be a very extraordinary team if they are able to secure two major titles from two different competitions and one of them has indeed been obtained by Manchester City. Actually there are two more titles or trophies that Manchester City can secure this season, namely the FA Cup and one more is the Champions League trophy so Manchester City will be even more extraordinary if they are able to pick up these three trophies this season. For next season, I think it's too early to talk about now.

I have said earlier that Manchester City will take this trophy at all cost comes next month but I'm beginning to be scared for my bet for giving them a straight win. Their last two matches were against mid-teams they could crush with goals but they draw the first one and today, lost to them. I want to believe that was because they already lifted the Premier League already but the statistics matter, they didn't put much to the games and Inter is out there kicking teams, in fact, their last two matches were secured which has helped them stay in the 3rd place in Seria. I just hope I haven't made a big mistake in choosing Manchester City over Inter.

I expect good matches tonight Atletico Madrid vs Sociedad, Girona vs Betis... All except Atletico need a win to improve their position in the standings... It's hard to say who will be the winner... Atletico and Sociedad can draw... In the second match I think Girona will win... There are only a few games left and the last matches are always the most interesting...

Atletico Madrid has already taken the lead with a goal, and if they maintain this advantage until the end of the match, their position in third place in La Liga will be secured. However, there is still a possibility for Real Madrid's and Atletico Madrid's placement to change depending on the outcome of Real Madrid's match against Athletic Club. Looking at their recent performances, Real Madrid has won three out of their last five matches, while Athletic Club has won two, this upcoming match will determine whether Real Madrid will retain their second-place position or not.

I find it quite surprising that Real Betis, which was previously in third place on the table, is now fighting to hold onto position six. If they could just win or draw against Girona, it would keep them ahead of Osasuna, who will be vying for that position, Osasuna needs to win to come that close by the way.

Is Mancaster United going to third place in the last match of this season in the English Premier League, it seems that, Ten Hag beats Squad Fulham well until they find additional points to reach third place in the standings, after achieving bad things, they rise quite well Although only in the third position.

They truly earned the victory. Initially, when Manchester United conceded a goal from Fulham in the first half, I was hopeful to see a strong response from the team. However, things took a turn for the worse when Casemiro fouled a Fulham player, resulting in a penalty. Though, De Gea made an excellent save for Manchester United, and shortly after, they managed to equalize and eventually take the lead with another goal from Bruno Fernandez. Ten Hag has achieved his first positive result at Old Trafford by taking them to the Champions League next season, Looking ahead, I believe that the next season will be even better because he achieve this with limited players even when Ronaldo left them halfway through the season.

Quote
And it seems that Newcstle United looked exhausted by fighting Chelsea, they were held to draw so that they would end up sharing points with Chelsea.
And it seems that Arsenal vent his anger and frustration to Wolves, Arteta slaughtered with a score that was very unlikely to be pursued by Wolves, this match became the match where the Gunners vent their frustration because they did not come out to become champions this season.

I think it will be okay to generalize that almost all the matches that were played today were interesting, Arsenal came back stronger even when it is late already, Chelsea and Newcastle play well and I think I'm impressed by the way Chelsea ended the season as well, and Liverpool maintaining their Europa spot is great despite the today struggle to beat a relegation team that ended as draw.

I am looking to start my Bitcoin journey from somewhere that would be of advantage to me as the economic situation in my country bears down hard and with having family to Carter for, it is rather exhausting.
Without much physical mentors with real life experiences except for YouTube and this forum where I feel I can ask good questions and be answered well, am asking, which is the more lucrative endeavour for a newbie hoping to benefit from cryptocurrency at first between Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin trading?  

Are there other Bitcoin endeavours one could be interested and invested in, other than trading and mining?

Are you sure your financial status can mine bitcoin, I'm not sure about that, perhaps maybe trading will help you provide for your family bills. There is no way you can mine bitcoin now without breaking the bank except you mean mining altcoins and that is not a lucrative business as they are not as valuable as the price of bitcoin. I suggest you try trading since you are conversant with Youtube, try paper trading with the tutorials online and see for yourself if trading will favour you in the future or not but I repeat, do paper trading before you indulge in full trading otherwise you risk losing all your money if trading goes south.
1240  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation in the world grow by 2023? on: May 26, 2023, 06:33:09 AM
Reading the morning summaries of the newspaper, I came across an article that, according to forecasts, inflation will not remain within the limits of the predicted non-percentages, but will increase and grow, thereby creating economic instability in the world. Do you think it is worth relying on the opinion of economic experts? There have not been any official statements from banks by country yet, but the dynamics show that inflation is growing along with the annual rate of banks. But now it is quite high in all countries, respectively, the rise in price and instability in the markets should be expected or a slight increase in inflation is possible, which will not affect the economy of the world?

Have you for once stopped listening to the media and view inflation from the chart to see what has been happening by yourself? Inflation is synonymous with a price increase, once it goes up, no way the price will be coming down, there is every tendency that it may stabilize and stay there for a while, but it wouldn't depreciate and even if it does, it will be by a small ratio but mostly shoot up and if you check yearly inflation rate of any country, there is always a yearly increase. Regarding your question, I believe there is going to be an increase in inflation for sure and don't expect the price of groceries to remain the way they are by the end of next year.
