141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streaming community are getting worst!!! on: April 25, 2024, 07:17:14 AM
Have you notice? In the streaming community, the influence of gambling is getting worse. Have you noticed that many streamers have started to stream gambling and promote it? Sad, but it's the reality. I'm noticing that the streamers I'd used to watch because of their gaming contents and also streams that they do while gaming are fading; they are focusing on and promoting gambling platforms, and the alarming thing is that those streamers used to have young viewers who also played the games they were streaming, and suddenly they left it all out and changed what they streamed, which was gambling.

I don't blame them, but the thing is, they sell their dignity in order to promote gambling, maybe because the offer is too good for them to refuse, but the concept of them abandoning their dignity and ignoring the fact that they could have a bad influence on their viewers, even if they put a warning about being responsible in gambling, the thing is, people or viewers will for sure be attracted if they see the streamers getting or winning too much money. And the theory is that, what if the money or account they are using is not their money or account? Is it an account from the gambling platform that they let the streamers use in order to promote the platform? I can't ignore the fact that a theory might be possible. Anyway, what do you think? or can you say about this streamer transitioning to streamers whose content is gambling? Feel free to share your insights.


We'll,you won't blame them for that,this is how they feel making more money is generated,so no much emphasis about criticizing them, whereas it might be looking like it's getting worse by the day but this is the perfect strategy to them so they go extra miles to promoting it in every aspects.

But why do you think they sell their dignity?to me they are just looking for measures to sell out their market to the public and that's what most business owners do,by the way was there to hide,what the dignity they are selling and  just do you know Gambling in some countries is prohibited and at such they hide to run it inorder to be caught,so if  this was a way to get out of that hiding state to the deem light you think they won't accept and sell their dignity like your saying.
142  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About running an online casino vs an offline casino on: April 25, 2024, 07:00:44 AM
I have been thinking about this a lot now and today again, I did the same, it's probably the right time to pour out my mind to my family on this forum, hope in return to get some great answers.

I know that it's not easy to run a casino, hire workers and some professionals and others, my question is. ....

1. Is running offline casinos the same as running an online casino?

2. What do online casinos have to lose if they aren't making as much money as they intended?

3. With online casinos, isn't the number of hiring being limited compared to someone who wants to run an offline casino?

4. Which one is more easier to manage than the other?

And the last question is, which one would you go for if you have the resources?


They are all okay to start with as a business but firstly I'll go by answering your question one after the other.

1. Running offline casinos is never the same as running online casino,for online you'll need more of experienced technical know-how hands to  run it as workers but for online it's quite different and abit tactical.

2. We'll I think in that aspect I would say if there's a Network hitch or unstable network to access the sites and all of that,there would be so much loss as people will find it difficult to gamble,play bets and so on.

3. Yea, for this I can't really tell but I feel they have robotting equipments that works in check to that.

4. For me I think offline is more easier to manage than online,it depends on the nature of the both business,cause mostly we may not know how this online casinos operate but talking from my own perception.
 I don't think I can choose one out of both but they are all good and do their best to achieving effectiveness and results.
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games on: April 24, 2024, 11:09:35 AM
Good day friends


Yes the topic name somehow portrays what am about to explain although for a female gender and plus the current society where am staying this kind of habit is somehow strange but I guess most persons must have witnessed it.

So the other day me and my friends both male and female were involved in some house old friendly games like food competition, card game, thumb wrestling and so many more and take to note, all these activities were done just for old times sake and meet between old friends at my place as it included both my husband and his friends but I witness something rather uncalled for.

So I noticed that there were this particular group of guys who really went all out with the friendly and even getting to the extent of making serious argument and almost taking it to the next level for games that were just played for fun purpose and nothing more, it got so worse that the whole atmosphere changed and he instigated that they added some monetary value to the game that he is certain that he isn't going to lose easily and to cut the long story short it went on and on till he barely had much left with him anymore and I had to call the whole thing off and even asked that he money was given back to him but his pride and Shame couldn't allow him to take it back.


So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.


Yeah a lot times people can still get that addictive nature when having friendly games and a lot of things can compel someone to show off their real self in just minutes,I said this because I witnessed it in a party that I attended,we were all playing different games for fun and  money was placed for who wins and an expensive drink to follow suit for the winner,it goes on and on and there was this guy who losses and have never won anything, observing how everything is unfolding he stood up that the game is partial and that we're all using his head,he scattered the party and some other guys got angry too and that was how fight started and the party was off.

So a lot times most people can't hold such habits within them for long, imagine loosing and looking for chances to eliminate the source that makes other win is devastating and big time addictive nature.
144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: April 24, 2024, 10:56:10 AM
Hi ,

From a personal experience that happened to me not long ago, and I want to share it with you guys.

After a hard day's work, and as usual every night before going to sleep, I make some bets on football matches and then i look for a game to pass some time. That night I wanted to play the crash game, knowing that I used to play it almost every day. I started playing and i was changing the amount of money, the bet from one round to the next, and the amount was very small, from 20 dollars to 40. After the start, a few minutes later, I did not understand what happened. I opened my eyes and saw the amount of 500 dollars written on the screen. When I looked closely, I found that I had bet on it and lost the bet for a trivial reason, which is that I made a mistake. When writing a number due to exhaustion and fatigue.
As I was not able to see clearly, to be honest with you, that drowsiness took over and I could not sleep that night as I felt very disappointed because that amount for me was too large to lose it in a game like this.

 In general, I realized my mistake and no longer made my bets while I was tired. Concentration is the most important thing in any effort we make, and we must always be at full mental strength, as there are many factors that may affect your chances of winning or losing.

I hope everyone benefits from my experience, thank you

Definitely one's mindset and thoughts should be at balance to go about anything,it is advice that one's mind should be at a state of rest to go about any decisions and steps,When you don't drive to the rhythm of your body at that moment your tired,it will alter your ride to achieving a particular goal or task your in for at that time.
You don't place bets when you're tired,unstable,sad, unhappy and so on.the mind and body must be in a very relaxation state to place such bets online so you will definitely enjoy the fun you get and hit a jackpots as well.

On certain day,going home from work so tired and stressful I got home lay down on my couch so devastating and perplexed over the days job,and I called a call to do a transactions worth $100 and with that unstable state that I am I did the transact beyond what was intended of ,and I slept off afterwards,but when I woke up was when I realized after going through my transaction history I shouted and stood up and immediately called the person to verify that and to call this short,I got the refund of it and that was it..so I learnt not to make such mistake ever mostly when I'm tired or stressed.
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 24, 2024, 10:39:59 AM
The way you play, which we can consider your playing strategy, plays an important role in determining your profit or loss, like other factors.

For me, when I play, I enter with the intention of double the amount of money and stop.

Its good that we use the method that we feels like best and easier for us to comprehend, its not by force that we go through with what others are using, ours is to research well in what we are good at, develop and work on such as our own personal strategies and then use them, using a particular strategies will only allow you to apply the very necessary skills you desire in using towards playing a particular game of your choice whenever you're gambling, if you double your money, you may still be tasty of going once more time instead of quitting, it happens like this sometimes, but when we do such, its on a higher risk because we may loose the entire money right at that one.


This strategy of doubling your money and quit is a no no for me,it's not about making profits,why having that mindset of going in to make profits and Chase a loss it's indeed a derailing factor and I can't go with such intentions.alot of us that doesn't that are only after making money from it other than having fun,u can decide to double the amount and end up loose,so what do you do,still triple that amount inorder to generate profits no now.

Whereas it might work for other but it's not advice to try such,cause it's a risky task at hand, sometimes when you double and win and decide to go in again you'll definitely loose everything.

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.

No I haven’t lied to anybody like that before.

Your story and the other guy’s tweet are pretty awful imo. I don’t know if you are still gambling like that but you should probably seek professional help. The other guy on twitter too. I see no difference between your story and locking yourself in a room and drink alcohol/smoking. See how it looks now? That’s what we call “having an addiction”

If gambling prevents you from doing your daily duties then gambling is not a fun event for you anymore. It became an addiction and it needs to be treated.

Exactly,I don't give a lie for whatsoever reason to cover up my gambling habits,whereas I'm a responsible gambler and when I want to gamble it's just little of my time and I don't mind telling a friend of mine or anyone close to me that this is what I'm doing because I'm not spending more or using more time doing this.im just doing it cause I want to feel the dun that moments and then I give a stop.

We'll I feel such habits is a real sign of an addiction on a high note that needs to be minimize, tackled but we all have different ways of doing things and so it's so difficult to limits such behavior's.

What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they be avoided?


The biggest mistake made are listed here;

      1. Not reading and following gambling rules and instructions: A  Beginner will just wake up one morning to venture into Gambling sites, probably because they might have insights about it and also all in the quest of making money and then they don't adhere to the rules and everything turns upside down for them.

      2. Impatience; a lot time they might just be in a rush to make it all out but not putting in mind that Gambling online needs patience to ascertain everything,whereas you'll need to study every necessary aspects and know how to strategies,but it doesn't seem this way for a lot of beginners that feel gambling is a bed of roses.its just like cooking a pot of food, you'll need all the time to get that food properly cooked so it will be okay to eat up so this is how gambling is you'll wait for what your cooking to cook properly so you have a very Sweet delicacy.
148  Economy / Economics / Re: Food shortages coming to the United Kingdom, BUT - on: April 22, 2024, 06:37:18 PM
This sort of situation is inflationary, and if inflation doesn't go down, then something will need to break for it to be forced to go down. That indicates a recession, OR if there's too much money in circulation it's going to be worse. Stagflation.

Food crisis has been happening all around the world since like 4-5 years ago and some countries sort it out by importing it from another countries. Obviously this is due to the stupid regulations from most government to increase tax or cut off subsidies for agricultural sector. As a matter of facts, some of these imports are even cheaper compared to the farmers product so goverment wouldnt really care less about this situation

Probably wouldnt turn into any major economic issue for the country but obviously the situation could be worse

Food scarcity may exist at an individual level,a city level,state level,nation level,continent level,or even a global level.Therefore,food scarcity on a global level is mostly influenced by the natural resources and human influence such as governmental organization and public aids that are in charge.
Climate change and inflation are the major triggers of food insecurity,economic shocks;like existing wars and conflicts are some of the contributing factors that create food crisis,severely leading million souls into starvation and extreme hunger.
149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if they centralized Bitcoin? on: April 22, 2024, 05:47:39 PM
If bitcoin is centralized we'll be laid off from most opportunities and important features that we're now enjoying like security,liquidity,and several other negative consequences to all users will likely emerge.
If bitcoin finally becomes centralized,its likable features will gradually diminish and alter its impacts to the financial systems.However,the fact that bitcoin wants to become centralized,this will reduce users trust within this cryptocurreny space.

Bitcoin's foundation is verified,secured and there's no way I think that's happening;there's no room for bitcoin centralization.

Re: Runes will be worthless. Don't waste your precious BTC on huge fees.
I don't actually understand what happens in the blockchain these days. We will all be fighting one problem and then another problem surface. We have known that some miners called ordinals spam the blockchain to increase the transaction fees. Trying to deal with this we are hearing Runes. Those who are not that savvy like us will see this as big issues happening behind the scene and could be very much of a problem to the network. I'm scared that as we expect growth in the network but problems arriving more frequently.

Worst of all,is the fact that some people will still be caught in the victim web.After fixing one problem,people get advice on security check,safety,and most of all awareness because that's one of the ways to prevent spam incidents.The weaknesses of people in cryptocurreny space is continuously tested,why not just stick to the one you know and trust which is BTC.
Eventually,these inventions were not in the first place issued with good governance and security yet people still suggests that Runes could help Bitcoin achieve its goal of widespread adoption.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Focus on knowledge, build up belief, then investment plan, success will come. on: April 22, 2024, 11:56:11 AM
When you spend more time in Bitcoin market, you will read more news about this market and Bitcoin. You will read many criticism or just hilarious and jealous comment that Bitcoin investors got profit because they were lucky.
Ignorance is the reason why people think that Bitcoin investors are lucky. Most of them don't know the level of risk many Bitcoin investors take to see their investments grow over the years. These critics don't realize that many people have also lost money investing in the sector. In fact, I believe that there is nothing called luck in business because anyone who invests is taking a certain level of risk. How many of them will be able to wait for four to eight years for them to take profit from an investment, just a few. They assume that Bitcoin is just a money-doubling scheme where you put in money today and get rich tomorrow.

I can't believe and understand what people see bitcoin as...Since they find it difficult to invest and trust bitcoin because they lack knowledge.That's why they say knowledge is power.
You know its disappointing to see and hear the shits been said about bitcoin,they just wake and assimilate whatever information they receive from other people that despises bitcoin so much and the Internet.

Instead they research about the positive impacts,they'll continue to feed themselves with illegal feedback.Investing in Bitcoin cryptocurrency has its pros and cons and like every other currency,there's advantage and disadvantages.Meanwhile,bitcoin still remains a fast growing assets and its going to be hard to eliminate the currency.
152  Economy / Economics / Re: It's better to invest now than to regret it in a hospital bed. on: April 22, 2024, 11:30:29 AM
I think that the purpose of the OP’s post is that thinking about the future is better than living one day at a time. Although relying only on investments, I would call it a so-so activity. While we are young, we must earn a name, which then must bring money from the name. Making some profit and building your own business that will generate profit from it can be a good cushion for the future. But as for health, you should take care of it not when you begin to feel that it is deteriorating. However, I think the OP is young, his understanding is going in the right direction, and his investments will be able to provide him with a noble old age.
²

At least one of the regrets someone would have in a hospital bed is the failure to invest and take full responsibility for one's financial life.
Additionally,it's all about making the right choices and taking the adequate steps/actions at the right time.
Most times,people waste most of their youthful age on irrelevant activities.Young people are supposed to secure a powerful,effective and active financial life.Its more like inculcating good morals and habits from a tender age.

In conclusion,at a young age,you should endeavor to take more valuable risks for your financial life in the future,in as much as you're young,investing while you're young is a good decision in making assets work for you;the earlier you start,the better for you.
153  Economy / Economics / Re: USD prices speculation on: April 21, 2024, 10:22:28 PM
In the last few days, I looked at the exchange rate and saw an increase in USD in any currency so some countries experienced inflation and crisis. I don't understand why the USD can rise so high. Does this also affect the decline in the crypto market?


The demand for the dollar increases when international parties, such as foreign citizens, foreign central banks, or foreign financial institutions demand more dollars.When the dollar is traded, three factors can drive its value, including supply and demand, market sentiment,and technical market data.

 Normally,people beleive that crypto prices are have also influenced and impacted USD and vice versa.Historically,studies have shown diffrence between the price of Bitcoin and the value of the U.S. dollar. This means that when the dollar is strong,the price of Bitcoin tends to fall,and vice versa.Honestly,I clearly don't know how that concept operates.
154  Economy / Economics / Re: The collapse of central banks...Inevitable? on: April 21, 2024, 10:08:56 PM
If the central banks collapse, it means the whole country will collapse too.

Since there was country that no longer exist due to crisis i.e. Yugoslavia, so it's possible there will be a country that in debt and bankrupt, rich country might occupy that country. If you think Bitcoin will replace fiat due to central banks collapse, then you're live in your own imagination.

Honestly,at this point there's no way to eliminate fait or central banks.Bitcoin remains bitcoin,bitcoin still serves as bitcoin.Fait will continue to exists and execute and carry out its normal activities.

Central banks collapse will be a huge fallout for many.All segments are going to experience a big breakdown that initializes terrible and dangerous decline in growth and unemployment.
Such collapse can hinder the lives and survival of many.But I still think fait can still act and stand for fait lovers/users.
155  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people are less likely to accept traditional employments in this era! on: April 21, 2024, 09:25:34 PM
The young generation (Gen Z) wants to become rich and wealthy, so being an employee in a traditional organization will not make them as rich as they wanted. That is why all of them engage in online making, which includes social media accounts, trading bitcoin and other alt-coins, and other online sources of making money that do not require a lot of stress and get more money, which the millennials and Gen X view as a lazy generation.
 
But what is supposed to be put into consideration is that in this generation, everything has become a technology base, which will soon be a threat to the traditional workers because with technology, everything will be easy and employment will be scarce, so to me, it is better for Gen Z to focus on ways to make money online than to depend on traditional employment because of the threat associated with it.

Currently,AI and Freelancers networks are on fire and Gen Z,they're truly maximizing this opportunity for this generation precisely.
Technology they say has done more good than harm to us,and there's an optimum advantage it has rendered this age.Technology keeps inventing and creating savory opportunities with breathtaking profits/earnings,and a lifechanging profession for survival.

Using bitcoin as an example,we all know the benefits,assistance and overly performance of knowing,having,using,trading e.t.c bitcoin to you and I.Technology has a lot of advantages,and financial freedom is one of them;it something that drives people crazy,not just crazy but
It's serves as a relief,an opportunity,an alternative and lots more.

But mind you,there's a niche for everyone,find it,discover it,build it,own it and make it happen for yourself...
156  Economy / Economics / Re: Also consider your mental State of health while investing for wealths. on: April 21, 2024, 08:47:09 PM
There's so many similar stories and posts on this forum, which still speaks on the importance of health while pursuing wealth and this is just one of many and I always try to appreciate it, because it is a reminder still to be wise when making financial decisions that involves risk way more than just the money lost.
When emotional situations after loss of investment or property occurs, the people who are close and love us more than we know get to suffer as well, and may even experience more drop in productivity that even the person who suffered the loss.

Good health always bides good luck and positivity, while an emotional unstable person will always have more negative returns and be less productive, that it affects others in proximity.

I agree,just like they'll always tell us that "health is wealth.Come to think of it guys how do you intend to enjoy all these wealth and attained luxuries/achievements when you don't seem to have enough life of yourself again.

Some of these threads are not just mere threads and writeup.Once in a while,it is good to remind people of how essential their physical and mental health should be cherished and put into consideration always.Just so you know,if you want to live a good life,make money and build your wealth/finance;if you want to enjoy your wealth and riches,ensure to keep an eye on your health because without good health,it is difficult to enjoy the benefits of your wealths.

Anything can be achieved if you have good health,even studies have shown that health has a greater impact on happiness than wealth so let's be intentional about been in charge of our health/wellbeing.Always be proactive and responsible for yourself because no one can treat you better that you'll treat yourself;it dangerous to let somebody love you more than you love yourself.

China has been fighting to be in charge of world power,and it seems they're so close to achieving thier dreams using the BRICS as a means to get to the top and executing their plans.

They tend to blame dollar for everything but they fail to realize that the dollar will work perfectly with collective efforts and supports from their various components.China has the most controlling force+efforts+ideas put all together to defeat Dollar.If you check very well you'll notice that China is the leading factor of BRICS.China is using BRICS to promote,protect and establish their interest.What they choose and think is best for everyone that's what they're initiating.

China's objective of dominance is been reflected through BRICS,so far,it has played a crucial role of enhancing and ensuring progress amongst her BRICS countries.So long as the BRICS is concerned with trade,maintaining a stable political system,eliminating social injustice and fighting factors that seems to hinder her progress,China will continue to be in charge  because that's what they've desired all along.

I came from a society where majorities are not bothered about their retirement plans, Some do have the financial resources but due because of financial revenue opportunities, they feels so reluctant and comfortable without considering that depending on the government opportunities could get to an end somedays. I don't know if they ever have the picture imaginarily about how their old ages times would be.

While I've come way too far thinking about this as I also goes around the towns and sees old people aging so helplessly as they're vulnerable, I fear not to be in such situations so then, I'm striving on making positive differences.
I've decided to have a diverse of my bitcoin investment for my retirement purpose.
At some points in life, you don't expect to be thought lessions before you could learn but you can learn from others experiences.

Most of the things we see happening around us now should be referred to our future,I mean while having elders,leaders and mentors around us,taking observation and been attentive to certain situations can be of so much advantage and guidance to us and helps us not to make the same mistakes continuously.

Learning from people's mistakes can expand and improve your knowledge pertaining to life's threatening challenges.We can learn from someone else's financial failure or mistake and still end up in the same hole as that person.An important factor of learning from someones mistake is how it can help you in the future;by changing your actions and decision in the future,and keeps you ahead of future torments and indecisions.

Do you feel that the global economy is declining?
It's not that the global economy is in recession, it's that this has been going on for hundreds of years, and has never stopped. I mean recessions will still happen even when we think we are living in prosperous economic times. Inflation will never stop because the government will always continue to print money and distribute it to the economy. But most don't realize and don't care about this until things get worse and more than they can bear. If there are no preventative measures or solutions for your economy, 5 years from now you will see it will be worse than it is now.

Additionally,there seems to be no remedy to recession.Recession has been on for years now and we've all survived it in diverse ways.Recession could end but it takes times for a country to recover from her losses and economic slumps.

Normally,recession is a significant decline in economic activity across different sectors that lasts for several or more months,which in turns slows the economic growth and impede the country's resources and penetrate individuals livelihood.
The future continues to depicts that there are greater chances of going into recession but its relatively not important,just sort out preventative measures appriopriately.
160  Economy / Economics / Re: Countries with economy power controls the world. on: April 20, 2024, 04:20:20 PM

Those countries with strong economy controls the world's political and religion system.
In other for a country to grow in all area's, it's major focus should be growing her economy, when this is achieved then that nation will become one of the most powerful nations in the world.


To grow an economy is actually an intentionally direct step that doesn't happen by happenstance. A country that wants to be better economically and otherwise must make real steps to achieve that and gradually they get there. One factor to look at that makes a country great is the country's budget on education. education is key to development, if you lack education then different aspects of the economy will not develop like the technology and that is the most important that connects all other sectors of the economy. So most of the developed countries that have been mentioned have direct effort towards developing their educational system through budget yearly.
Most times,for some countries,going into debts is the only way it could raise funds to carry out various economical activities in her system.Meanwhile,debts is a tool and we're not allowed or supposed to feel comfortable been in debt.

Supposedly,any debt that did not yield or create the value its supposed to is a bad debt,when such a debt does not promote growth and elevate the economical activities in any way,it becomes difficult and unmanageable to the indebted country.In essence,such debt can lead to defeat and punishment.
Most people don't understand this,but no debt is a good debt or a bad debt,but the outcome from it is sincerely what makes it what it is.
