1281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When Gamblers Fail to Read a Casino's Terms and Conditions on: September 22, 2023, 11:01:50 AM
I have read a lot of gambling threads both here on the forum and in other forums. This makes me to draw the conclusion that most gamblers are either too lazy to read the Terms and Conditions (T&C,)or they don't just care about it. The results of which leads to misunderstandings and frustrations, often resulting in negative reviews and complaints that may not accurately represent the casino's practices. It is too bad. I have noticed that when gamblers don't read the T&S of a casino, they :
A lot of gamblers if not 95% it can be 90% gamblers don't have the luxury of spending time to read these casinos T&S to know where there are conditions that infringe on their gambling right and some that tries to read hardly read to the end.

On the side of these online casinos there's something about them and their T&S. They make it so long and tedious to read that even if you initially had the interest to read through you get bored in the middle cause it seems there are certain repetition in slight different ways that makes the reader feel like he's wasting his time. And I think the casinos knows what they are doing by making the T&S the way they all do it.

Our bitcoin is something we should keep secret and of course it's appreciated so far as security is concerned but there's a limit to being secretive with our bitcoin and other assets especially for asset's that worth huge amounts of money there must be a trusted person in the family

you'll need to tell about how to gain access to your wealth in the verge of a sudden life threatening incident leading to your loss. Tomorrow is not guaranteed what will happen to us as we strive our health can fail us without pre-informing

We don't pray for evil to happen but that doesn't mean it will never happen, so making it known to one trusted family member about our wealth gateway is another form of security to our wealth should anything bad happen to us. It will be bad you lost your live and that begins the suffering of your family when they could have been living from your amassed wealth.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage your money on gambling sites. on: September 21, 2023, 06:02:30 PM
I've been following a few gambling channels on Twitter and Telegram, and whenever they share a screenshot of a bet slip or winning ticket, they occasionally also include the balance of their wallet. I've seen this happen several times, which made me wonder why they don't choose to withdraw their winnings instead of storing them in their gambling site wallet. Why do they leave that much in there, or is it simply for show off? A gambling expert should know better than to save their money on casino websites. 

I always withdraw all my winnings and only deposit the right amount i want to use to gamble whenever i want to play a game. I’d like to know everyone’s opinion on which way is better and which one do you practice in managing your funds on gambling sites.
Exposing the balance of their gambling account through a screenshot is another strategy use by those users of gambling telegram channels to attract more newcomers to their group.

To them it's an evidence to show that their predictions are working and they are making profits through the winnings from their predictions but many of those screenshots they showcase are fake they are doctored to make it look like their bets are completely sure but every wise gambler is supposed to understand that no prediction is 100% sure, it's all about luck.

As a genuine gambler I can't leave my winnings in my gambling account, each winning is meant to be withdrawn leaving specific amount to be use for another bet trial anyone leaving his whole winnings in  account and making a screenshot to bring to public is either being stupid or trying to defraud an unsuspecting gambler that may be lured by that screenshot.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the drive that makes women go into gambling? on: September 21, 2023, 05:30:20 PM
Excluding the winning if money in gambling there's also entertainment and fun in gambling and it's not for man alone. Women are also seeking for means to catch fun and be entertained that's why some of them get into gambling.

Unlike men for most women that are gambling the money making part in gamble is secondary to them once the entertainment is sure to be attained

And this is why we scarcely have women addicts to gambling even though some may argue this point that the number of men in gambling is higher than that of women that's why men's addiction to gambling is prevalence.

You can't meet all your needs/desires at once, even if you spend all your salary

There is a thing called contentment, which you haven't discovered yet.
Contentment is something that's very good and it's a virtue everyone should have but being contented doesn't mean satisfaction.

Humans should be contented with what they have but it doesn't mean they should be satisfied because human wants are insatiable as they are tied to growth (in all ramifications of life) so we keep striving to get more.


Quote
First I would say "human needs are insatiable."

Not true. Some people's, or a lot of people's if you like, but not everyone's. I insist on the previous comment. The rest of what you say, since it is based on a premise that I consider false, I do not agree with it.
As much as you're a human and alive you are bond to have one need or the other. Our needs keep piling after we solve one another will submerge.

In fact for the very reason that humans are faced with unlimited wants but with scarce means to meet those wants it then entails that no man can be satisfied in life he will always be in need for something to keep life going whether we agree or not.
1286  Economy / Economics / Re: Our future with renewable energy. on: September 21, 2023, 02:14:19 PM
...
In conclusion, it is possible for the world to be 100% dependent on renewable energy, but it would require a significant transformation of the current energy system and a collective effort from all stakeholders. Some countries and regions have already achieved or are close to achieving this goal, such as Iceland, Brazil, New Zealand’s South Island, Denmark’s Samsø island, and Germany’s Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein regions. These examples show that 100% renewable energy is not only feasible but also desirable for a sustainable future.

with the increasing effect of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, making global warming increasingly uncontrollable, renewable energy is something that the earth really needs right now, but it is not easy to realize a world that uses 100% renewable energy, there are many factors that influence it; like politics, just imagine if the use of oil or coal is stopped then oil or coal entrepreneurs will no longer be able to make a profit, so they are as many as possible lobbying leaders in developing countries to continue to depend on oil and coal, Pollution in several big cities is also quite worrying. As recently happened in Jakarta, so far no one cares about the air in Jakarta, the residents are only busy with their own interests and the government doesn't care about that even though the carbon gas created by the daily activities of Jakarta residents is quite worrying.
You made a very strong point here when you mentioned about the politics that's involve when considering those countries hat economy depends on crude oil the "OPEC" countries the idea of renewable energy development despite how it sounds good for the climate against the effect of green house  gases on the global environment

to the oil producing countries it's a bad business for them and that's why the world at large will not be taken over by renewable energy even in the next 50 years because there's a strong politics underground from those OPEC countries.

As for atmospheric population generation from oil and coal I think same can be talked about with renewable energy like hydropower plants, where is the waste deposited and what are the health effect  is a question we have not asked ourselves.
1287  Economy / Economics / Re: for anyone interested in how much their personal data is worth on: September 21, 2023, 01:16:08 PM
For sure, lots of people will say too low on this, but that's the sign that you would be selling your personal data. Our data should have no money value as we need to protect it, but right now I've seen a lot of people, mostly in my country, ready to sell their identity to whomever needed it as long as they were paid.
 
Recently this year, I saw a thread from our country forum that they will pay about $10 for filling out a form that contains your ID and personal data, and surprisingly, a lot of people do it, even using their parents identities.
The data's are given too low money value so that we don't see it as anything important as people are claiming it to be. I see a lots of data survey companies offering between less than $1-$5 for different degrees of informations about the person and people don't care to know why they will be paying to get their data's if it's not that important.

 The data's we don't care about today in exchange for $10  can be used against us and family in the future that can cost us competitive positions in the society and other things when they get sold into the hands of a rival. People should learn to protect themselves for the future since it's unknown if what will be.
Even if that doesn't pose any risk for us or our families, the survey companies that collect personal information from us by either paying us or making promises to give us rewards and money, sell these data to other companies that pay them way more than what they pay us for the information. That is the reason why these survey companies strive to get as much information as they can because they know it's extremely valuable.

Have you ever wondered why and how we get SMS promotional messages from time to time on our personal phone numbers when we don't give our numbers to anyone? It's because the GSM companies that we get our numbers from sell these data to companies that advertise their products and services through it.
It's obvious they are making a whooping profit from the data's they get or buy from both people that are willing to sell and those they manipulate if not I see no reason what they will be spending money to pay for something that's without value to them.

About the promotional SMS you are right, there was a time I had to put a call through to one of the network service provider I am using to lay a complaint due to the excessive promotional SMS I have been receiving and all they could reply me was that if the messages ain't important to me I should ignore each time I receive any. And it's so annoying that I still receive them to this date. That was how I got an eye-opener that it's all a collaborative business.

1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 20, 2023, 09:04:45 PM
It was difficult for Manchester to equalize the score because their play was very easy to read and when Manchester United had the ball they often played from the wings and went straight to Marcus Rashford. This is different from Bayern Munich's playing pattern, which plays with a system, starting from the midfield, the left and right wings all play a role.
Andre Onana also performed poorly because he was unable to block the ball strongly so Leroy Sane scored a goal in the 28th minute, and Serge Gnabry scored the second goal in the 32nd minute. In the second half, if Erik ten Hag had not made changes, I think Manchester United would have conceded again.

Manchester united had the tendency and the vIbe to fight and get a come back against Bayern Munich but unfortunately they have a leaking pipe behind at the goal post in the person of Onana therefore they have a long way to go in terms of keeping a clean sheet in a match.
The result of today's game 4:3 shows that a come back would have been possible if the goal keeper was making the necessary savings as expected.

I also want to give it to Arsenal.
What a beautiful way for arsenal to have come back to the European champions league and winning their first game in a superb style after many years. I initially thought they Arsenal were going to struggle in getting a victory with their first game but I guess a premier league team can't do less against a team as PSV.

FT. Arsenal 4:0  PSV

Sickness : This is another factor that can make a bitcoin investor not be hodli for long. You will notice that there are some sickness that will make us not able to go to work anymore due to its critical condition. One will not be able to earn anymore but will need to take care of himself and this will make him go and sell his bitcoin. It is better to use your bitcoin to take care of yourself and become healthy rather than die and leave your bitcoin in your wallet.
This is a phenomenon that's out of our control. Just like natural disaster that can dwindle the economy of a country same is likened to sickness in a holder's life. We shouldn't never hesitate to withdraw from our HODLing to use in taking care of our health. We can always start again after we are well and strong.

There's no pride in leaving yourself sick to death just to prove you can hodl even in dangerous circumstances.

One source of income :  This happens to those people that their earnings is not big, but could invest in bitcoin from their income Some investors due to hardship from inflation might not have enough money like they use to have to take care of their important needs and families,because if this their bitcoin investment will be tampered. All that they have bought will be sold off at a price that is not their will. If you find  yourself in such situation, it is good to look for another job to add to the one to increase your income so that your bitcoin dreams wouldn't be shattered by inflation.
With the high rising inflation having one source of income to meet your bitcoin target can be straining if you don't cut down your needs you can't meet up. To bolster your plan you need to work with the income size you have, you can't be aiming higher than your income you are bond to crash if you  do it that way.

In essence from your op you're saying you have been dealing on altcoins ever since you discovered cryptocurrency. Now that's a huge risk you are taking and am sure you don't know been a newbie.

All cryptocurrencies are not the same, in fact the best and reliable of them all is bitcoin and that is where you need to divert your portfolio's to to avoid had I known at last. If you want to invest your hard earned savings make sure to do so in the right coin BTC with a minimal investment risk compared to other shitcoins.

na true you talk snr man, the fact say them even rush burry am like a commoner na wetin even tire me like this oh! Like, why the rush, and I guess most persons were not even informed about the burial. I totally agree that this has a lot to do with drug-related case and they might all be trying to do away with him to cover up their shit. The guy is just so unfortunate.
From what I learnt mohbad is a Muslim and by the Muslim customs the dead is not expected to be left unburied for more than 24hrs or so from the time the death occured. So that's why the rush to bury him .

Mohbad's death has much controversy surrounding it because the artist while he was alive has been raising alarm about threats to his life from his former record label boss, on different occasions he informed the public but the authority never swinged into action in taking serious the case not until now he's dead so mysteriously, and we just hope let this matter not flame up now and die off in the next few weeks without the authority getting to the root of the cause of mohbad's death to serve as a deterrent to a future occurrence if actually anyone has a hand in his death as alleged.
1294  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is bitcoin a legal tender or not. Why? on: September 19, 2023, 05:35:06 PM

To clear the air about the whole argument I considered I should share this in the forum to have a clear stand if bitcoin is a legal tender or not.

The debate about the legality of bitcoin is jurisdiction based. That is it depends on the country that you are pointing to or referring to. So it can not be generalized.

For example you can say bitcoin is a legal tender in El Salvador because it is the country known so far to all that has declared it and backed it by their law as legal tender, that means it use can not be rejected by someone in El Salvador for not being a legal tender. But we can't say because it is legal tender in El Salvador therefore it is a legal tender some where else when they have not made it a law as legal tender.
It is because Op do not actually understand the meaning of legal tender, if they do, this question would not arise. A common search of the dictionary will define "legal tender" as coins or banknotes that must be accepted if offered in payment of a debt..

So, if the government of your country has made a law that mandates her citizens to compulsorily accept bitcoin, it therefore means that bitcoin is a legal tender in your country. Otherwise, bitcoin isn't a legal tender in your country.
The status of legal tenderness is only ascertainable in country by country bases. If approached as a whole and from the origin of bitcoin, it is not a legal tender and was not created to be.
@Zoomic the quote below is from my OP, and looking at it in comparison to all you explain about what a legal tender is it seems we're on same page but yet you claim that the OP have no understanding of what a legal tender is.

If your statements were a counter explanation different from what my OP defined a legal tender to be it would have been logical to grasp why you said I have no understanding of what a legal tender status is.  So what exactly are you saying?

Here's a part of a statement of my op post, please do your comparison to that of yours.
Quote
On the other side I was trying to explain to him that a legal tender is that which is accepted by the government and under the regulation of any central bank and this is not so with bitcoin

~snip
I think you are not familiar with this kind of activity. There are some events when many exchanges give you an opportunity to earn by simply doing some tasks. You get the amount deposited in your account but in order to withdraw it, you need to deposit first. Or in case of some that require a minimum limit which you were unable to earn from tasks. Let's just say you got $18 from the tasks and you need $2 more in order to withdraw because the minimum limit is $20. In many cases, people tend to deposit first. The minimum that you can deposit is $10. In a situation like this, people deposit first before realizing that they need to complete KYC first. And if you fail, your account will be restricted.
So you can resubmit it or ask the live support for help.

This activity is not something am unfamiliar with as a gambler, we all know that those task deposit  it's part of an exploit strategy used by these casinos to coerce gamblers to without a choice make the needed deposit to meet the withdrawal limit. And this event for KYC after deposit is quite understandable.

But it's different for when a gambler independently create an account and made a deposit into the account without completing kyc, that's what I mean by carelessness in my first comment. And a lot of gamblers still do this most of the times, so how do you describe that if it's not an act of carelessness.
1297  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Let's share some tips among ourselves. on: September 19, 2023, 11:19:33 AM
The criteria I used when buying and selling is when the price is down a lot or when my time for DCA comes. The selling time is when the price reaches my target price, but if it does not happen, I will continue my DCA until the price increases.

This mean you must have a strong psychology and strategy adjustment plans to be able to keep up with being patient to wait for your targeted selling and buying time. Not all traders can  align fine with this.

For anyone that doesn't have a lucrative source of income that can maintain his overall needs setting a selling target and falling back to DCA when target is not met can be hampered as the trader may be forced to sell even when the target hasn't been met especially when there's profits already made. So if anyone chooses this type of strategy he should be sure to have other strong income source other than cryptocurrency.
1298  Economy / Economics / Re: On Apple's $200 billion dump and US shooting itself in the foot on: September 18, 2023, 09:58:44 PM
Both China and the US are bullies not just against other countries but also against their very own people. It's certainly less severe in the US, but that it's done against a people for whom liberty is paramount, it has much more tremendous effects.
US and China are in many ways two faces of the same coin. The circumstances were different so they went on different paths of different types of dictatorship. Otherwise under same circumstances they would do exactly the same thing!

For example these days both regimes are preventing capital from exiting their country by banning any company that wishes to do so or if they insist the government bankrupts the hell out of them. China is doing it to its investment companies like those involved in real estate, US is doing it to a lot of companies including investment firms like BlackRock.
The difference is that China never claimed to be a "liberal economy or country" but US did Cheesy.

When two friends turn enemies the centre can no more hold as before.

In the real sense of liberalism there's no country if the world that's practicing it to the letter. I caption it as a camouflage that permeate the current age and nothing more.

It is said that when two elephants fights it is the grass that suffers but in this fight the grass have been cleared and it's the two elephants that are feeling every bit and pieces of their fight and that's what makes the fight more captivating to spectators watching from afar.

Letting them know their right from their left about bitcoin and the possible ways on how to avoid those risk where possible.

Is this an idiomatic expression? Smiley

Sorry mate but can you explain further this statement of yours, I don't quite get it.
Yes mate, it's an idiomatic expression and it will be a pleasure to  further expatiate on it to your  clarity.

The statement means explaining to people all they need to know about bitcoin from the benefits to the risks involve.

The left: stands for the risks.

The right: stands for the benefits.

I suppose this explanation is clear to understand.


Quote
It's an error to know about only the benefits of a thing with no knowledge about it's ensued risks.

Obviously, because if we are intol investing in business, we should consider both risk and reward as it does not guarantee easy money.
Those who would it is, surely is uneducated about bitcoin.
Each business investment carries its peculiar risk and profits, and to survive in it you must have yourself educated on the risks and benefits.
