As long as money is involved and greed for resources persists, there will be no end to war. Wars have been a part of human history. However, progress has been made in promoting peace, resolving conflicts, and fostering international cooperation. While it is difficult to predict the future with certainty, and even though the path is challenging and requires efforts from the global community, let's remain hopeful that one day we will see peace.

I like the mention that you made regarding money and greed, if we are to give a well consideration on them both we may definitely arrived at seing them as part of the reasons that orchestrated the incidence of war among the people who were found with this kind of selfish interest under the rule of government or the governments themselves, they can never be satisfied no matter how harder you press on with them all because they were found to be greedy with love of money in them.
1442  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Enlighten people about Cryptocurrency. on: June 27, 2023, 06:57:58 PM
I've found out that many people are willing to know about bitcoin and other Cyptocurrencies but are scared to engage in it due to fear of the unknown or lack of lack of trust for it.

This has always been the usual experience when you are having encounter with people like this who are just hearing bitcoin or cryptocurrency for the first time, you will find it difficult to teach them, convince them and i don't always blame them as well because everyone is trying their best to avoid any reoccurrence of being a victim of digital technology scam or cyber crime as they so called it.

I created this post because I know cryptocurrency is vastly gaining audience around the world but there are many left behind who doesn't have idea about it, most of them due to ignorance have been scammed on wrong investments by bad actors, this persons can be anyone, your friend, uncle or even closer family members so it's our duty to teach  them about cryptocurrency to avoid the risk of falling for bad actors.

Despite how harder we try as much as possible in teaching or making bitcoin awareness, those that will join will accept and those that won't join will never take the offer or opportunity in it because of their unbelieve, maybe later they may realize and willingly try to learn when they would have missed alot already, just know this that you can't force everyone to bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

I have posed down to study the ANTs and this makes a lot of sense, the ant can never make excuses and continue with the business of the day and getting it done, and also they do their work and sometimes they do not need Captain they are also disciplined and self-starters. If I could understand them better they have taught us the necessary to plan and look ahead for the future, more I can say about them is that they always work as a team and also store their nourishment during the season of abundance so that they can have a large portion in the time of scarcity they also have planned experience strategies of how to rest and to prevent burnout.
what are your thoughts on this......  
Do you think that people in the nation will be able to live their lifestyle like this

If there's one thing to ever learn about the ant is to know about their coordination, formation and how they lived together in a colony, they are very supportive, they work together and have the best organization in terms of division of labor, but why are we so called human can't make use of the best ability we have in possession to make life more beautiful and peaceful for our living despite we are called the higher animals.
1444  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TrumpCoin - Making Crypto Great Again! on: June 27, 2023, 06:41:59 PM
I can remember vividly about few days now when someone created a thread on this same discussion on Trump's coin and we don't really have the full confidence that they are truly coming from the presidential candidate official end or people are using such to gain massive attention or possibly scam unscrupulous users very desperate to invest on alts, all i have to say is for the people intending to invest on alts to make a thorough research before investing because scam rate is fast increasing.
1445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: About altcoins that are released in a bearish market condition on: June 27, 2023, 06:31:21 PM
Is it right to call a project shit coin when it's been released in a bear market and the value keeps going down,  isn't it expected to go down because it was released in a bear market?

You cannot call such project as a shit project and if you're more conversant with the network in cryptocurrency, you will discover that's the best time to set in for those kind of coins and invested in them, if you have make your research well about the developers and found out the required standard needed for you to invest on their project, then do well to buy the dip and expect the market to rise anytime in the nearest future.
1446  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Whats going on with Bitcoin Cash BCH? on: June 27, 2023, 06:25:58 PM
We need to get this as a fact and also get used to it that whenever there's a surge in cryptocurrency market price, it's more likely that not all of the cryptocurrencies will shine during that moment, though majority of them will rise but few may remain dip and when others now go dip, they create an opportunity for their own rising, that is why in cryptocurrency, things are unpredictable, we only try out our best by taking the risk thereof
1447  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🚀 Exciting Prediction: Ethereum's All-Time High by January 15, 2024! 📈 on: June 27, 2023, 06:21:16 PM
It's not going to happen on that date, don't even try to speculate on that prediction. Large-cap assets such as ETH and BTC cannot update their ATH in such a short period of time because the market has not yet had time to normalize after a long bear cycle. For the market to go storming back to its former ATH, long preparation and the hoarding effect are needed. By 2024, the market won't be able to muster as much strength to reach its ATH.

I don't know why some will just arrived on a conclusion that their own perception is the right thing and it's going to be the next thing to expect as exactly as being predicted by them, if such is how the cryptocurrency network operates or works then we will all have no reason to loose anymore whenever we invested on a digital currency because we would have foreseen the future and know what will turn out in couple of times to come through our accurate guess on the market flow, but things aren't exactly as we use to think they are.

Using a KYC gambling casino isn't safe for privacy reasons but they will never inform you about this because they wouldn't want you to get scared and loose trust in them and run away, all this have to do with centralized institutions that will always require from us, KYC is not what the casinos also needed to track us by all means through it but whenever the need for doing such occurs either from them, their employees or government, we remain vulnerable to all valuable informations given because they will always be subjected to low safety on demand.
1449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: June 27, 2023, 05:12:56 PM
I don't think nor have I personally seen it where a person pays extra money only for the possibility of winning a lottery, but people do that to increase their probability of winning since that determines how much chances of winning the main prize you have, but since we all know that lotteries are a category of gambling and things depend on luck whether it's a win or a loss, most people don't win anything even after buying so many tickets.

There's no tendencies that lotteries can be manipulated simce they are mostly sponsored by the government, they make it an open opportunity for the public for everyone to participate and try their luck if it worked out, so no money is needed or used in most cases to get this offer unlike when you're gambling, the two only have similarity of being lucky to win but doesn't mean they are the same by any chance.

I personally believe that we shouldn't purchase extra tickets if we are willing to participate in a lottery because even if you have 10 tickets or 10 thousand tickets, your winning or not winning is never in your own hands, so it's simply wasting money.

It all depends on the rules and regulations guiding the lottery if it permit for several attempts for slots or not, also it depends on the numbers of applicants going after this opportunity, if people were allowed to buy it, some may take advantage of increasing their chances by purchasing multiple slots, that's why most of it comes on a single attempts for each person to acquire a single slot as well.
1450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: June 27, 2023, 04:43:42 PM
True and that is troublesome for the guard  Grin.  Anyway, it is normal for a casino to offer drinks and snacks since it is the place of people meet ups.  And it is fun to have some drink while together with our friends.  Aside from that other gamblers stay at the casino for a very long hours playing their games so it is convenient for these gambler if there is available snacks in the vicinity.
Once you set foot in a casino it is natural for them to do everything that they can to keep you there, in fact this is the main reason the modern casino appeared at Las Vegas and which not only offered gambling games, but a restaurant, entertainment other than gambling and even a place to stay.

So I doubt that any casino worth its salt would open its doors without offering alcoholic beverages to their clients, as the amount of money they will lose by omitting this small detail is simply too big to ignore.

There's no doubt about the sight attractions with gambling casinos both the online and offline ones, immediately you step into their system you will always have tun in using their services because they spend alot under their budget to make their casinos look very attractive to gambler in other to draw their interest as well, in the casinos you discover alot of opportunities to aid your gambling experience and facilitate you into gambling with alot of drinks in their varieties, bitches and lots fun of music overnight with unending pleasure.
1451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 27, 2023, 04:15:08 PM
There are some that are really successful, and I'm pretty sure these sports betting groups are invite-only, and are exclusive within actual winning bettors. Those who have the winning formula and information on sports betting would surely not want their secrets spilled out into the open, and be used by people whom they are not benefitting from. If they want to get something from it, they will be asking for a huge sum of money in order for people to join them. Of course, they will not be advertising their group, and they'd only work through a system that makes it hard for the average bettor to join them.

Not all of them were invite only closed group, some are open groups and cannot be predicted because not all of them were directly from the casinos because some gamblers have taken their time in creating many of this kinds to engage gamblers on gambling discussions, we don't know which is reliable enough when to be trusted than just to maintain staying with the ones created by the direct gambling platforms we are using.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 27, 2023, 02:28:01 PM
Correct. Making gambling activities as a past time or a habit will definitely make it hard for you to quit because other than gambling activities, you don't know any remedies on where would you blow off your steam after long days at work or when you're just bored as you are already accustomed in gambling in every free time you have. Don't take it wrong because it's not really a bad idea to choose gambling as a way to release some stress but don't do it in most occasions as that will pull you in their trap.
A variety of hobbies is a must, not only because if you only have one hobby you could eventually get tired of it and then you will not know what to do, but also because it is important to avoid spending too much of our time in a single activity, and while gambling is entertaining and exciting, at the same time we need to use our free time in other activities, as not only this helps us to enjoy our gambling time even more but it also protect us from developing any kind of gambling issue.

You see, we have different kids of hobbies and it's better when our character is still attributed to a particular hobby we are used to, but when it turns to be an addiction then it turns to be a bad habit and we may not easily get control of it, that's why we could discover seing many gamblers today who were addicted and wanted to quit but couldn't afford such because they are too used to that kind of nature or lifestyle in gambling, this makes it an important task for us to deal with our hobbies before it turns out to an addiction in gambling
1453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: June 27, 2023, 01:53:04 PM
Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out? Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?

Depends on the stand of your life because we all have our own choices to make and sometimes, depending on the situations we have, it might be a factor to trigger us to take advantage on something that gives us a much higher chance of winning because first of all, as a gambler, we seek money and entertainment at the same time and most probably, most people will certainly take advantage of these chances.

Cheating is highly prohibited and no gambling platforms will condole any form of this on their website, just as you wouldn't want to be cheated you had better not cheat on others because it's not a good thing to do, and once it's not good enough to do is very bad and uncalled for at all by all means and should be avoided, there's nothing like taking an advantage on anyone just to satisfy ourselves at the expenses of others.
1454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top Five Reasons Sports Bettors Are Attracted to eSports on: June 27, 2023, 01:29:35 PM
1. Multitude of betting options

Well I don't really know if having a multitude of betting options in esport is more than the other forms of sport bettings because i have noticed that there are several options and functions to take while gambling under each category and can't really phantom the fact that which one is better or higher than the other in terms of features, though many have believed that esport is more easier ar simpler to analyze, understand and play base on the features it has always been having as compared to others.
1455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on live game or while game hasn't started yet? on: June 27, 2023, 01:09:58 PM

Cast your bet in a match that have yet not started or bet when the game is already live?
It must have been asked before but in case new sports bettors have not yet read such thread, reply back your opinion about it.

Found myself losing when the money line changes from 1.75 to 4.35 as the game began. But sometimes when I also wait for the game to start, it changes to worse such from 1.75 to 1.10

I prefer betting before the game cast its start. Maybe the odds might change before the game turns live but it is what it is. I will rely solely on the team I betting with. Also, when the game is already live, and then I put up a bet, I tend to confuse about which side I'm going to bet on because I am looking at the stats changing, unlike the pregame which I have a static analysis that is yet to move.

This depends on our respective decision and taste when it comes to gambling, some will definitely prefer and go for making predictions and select their games right before the match starts, they will also give a good attention to it to know wether there could be any changes at the course of the march concerning the odds should incase things turns out the way it shouldn't be but this is mostly affected by thise that bet after the start of the march and those that have already staked their bet before the march begins remain unaffected by any alterations to the odds given.
1456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: June 27, 2023, 12:36:33 PM
~snip~
Greed is everywhere either someone is poor or rich but i think rich people have more. when rich have already money to fulfill all need and also luxury item then why he taking risk to double income. i know many people in my area who lost even house and land and now has nothing.

You gave an example of how rich people lost everything. Yes, that's exactly what I meant. No rich person keeps being rich if they gamble. Rich and poor alike will be faced with the same maths, which is basically negative expected value. That means that you will end up with less money than what you started with.
What you mean is true but there are also some people who can control gambling so they can minimize losses and collect wins but only a thousand to one can, for example several big businessmen get together to play poker and of course you know that poker does not entirely rely on luck to win but also has a big factor of dexterity and ingenuity in using playing strategies so that opponents can lose or make mistakes when deciding a step in the game.
But this can only be done at land-based casinos, not online casinos, because in online casinos gamblers play live.

When we are considering the rich gamblers in this regard, we must not forget that they all existed in ranks and categories also, there are rich fellows that whenever they step into gambling and get addicted with it they run bankrupt over time because their financial source is not firmly constant and steady and the money they have is not a long and sustainable means of financial riches, while some people will have money, abuse it, got addicted to gambling and also spend the money as they like without adopting any control measures and yet their source never run dry no matter how they spend on gambling even though this kind of category of gamblers aren't common at all.
1457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The psychology of betting..... on: June 27, 2023, 10:33:22 AM
You've hit the nail on the head with your insights into human psychology and gambling. Sometimes we indeed start something just for a bit of fun or to fill our free time, but it can quickly escalate without us even realizing it. Before we know it, we've crossed a point of no return.

That's true, gambling is something that we only kow the beginning and yet the end results becomes a mystery to us as it remains unpredictable, gambling is better not to have started it than if started and we are  trying to stop it, there's a conscious and unconscious psychology in gambling where we try to always finds a means to bet even when we are not in the best position for that, we don't have the consciousness of doing this psychologically until we begin to see it consequences manifesting because it comes to our attention how far we've gone in betting while gambling.
1458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 27, 2023, 09:33:59 AM

But telling someone to their face or worse, to someone else, that one is an addict, as if it were diagnosed fact, can be wrong and very harming to one's reputation.


I think a real addict doesn't have much to do with reputation anymore because if he does, he won't have to get to the level of addict, he would place some limit to himself because at that point he is still in control of himself and emotion which makes him to be cautious of his actions. Someone is an addict because he has lost self control to limit himself on his gambling playing habit. Therefore, having reputation is not visible for an addict, that is why giving them help is mostly by initially out of their will , that means the third party has to act for them by taking the decision to help him out of it.

An addicted gambler should not find it offensive when they call him by what he is, which we means there are many things we do that aren't proper and we know but couldn't avoid them because we don't know to do without them even as they are things that hurt our lives, gamblers needed to be treated with humility and regards but they don't know how they have already lost this through their addictions because people sees us and learn from what we do if they are right and talk about them if they aren't good enough for appraisal either we like it or not.

The United States is a completely different place these days compared to when they were presidents.

Yhey are men of good substance, they have lived by example, that was their own era and we cannot compare it to this current dispensation because obviously things have changed in a big way, during their tenure, they give the best they could in accordance to how the state of affairs were then, we cannot compare that to now because the more we advanced in technology and developments the more the demands needed for more efforts on their governance, but this era has also birth new opportunities through the present president.
