Bitcoin has shown that it is an investment that has outperform most investments even though she is still young. This is why I would advise anyone that wants a stress free investment because he has no time to monitor his investment or people with low income to invest in bitcoin because you can invest in bitcoin with little amount and hodli for long. No matter the size of your investment, you will still make profit, this is because bitcoin price increases with timeline. For instance, if bitcoin dips and the bottom line is $100 in this circle, by next circle, we might not see the bottom line as $100 but a price higher than that. This is also the same with ATH from past records, bitcoin ATH price is always higher than the previous circle. In this circle, the bottom line was 15k+, we may not see this price as the bottom line in nest circle, it might be a price higher than this.

It is also good that you should think of increasing your investment after you must have bought through regular DCA so that you can buy weekly or monthly with 10% or more or below based on your monthly income so that you don't end up investing aggressively to the extend that you will be run at of cash and go sell part of your investment. Investment is something that is being allowed to grow in a long term so that the size of the invest will expand before you take profit. This doesn't apply to only bitcoin investment but to all other investment. This is why you must cancel short term investment goal from your mind.

If you already have a huge amount on ground to invest with, it might be better that you share the money into three, and use one part for limp sum buying, use the second part to DCA regularly either weekly or month, and the last part should be on reserve to buy at the dip so that you don't miss out when the dip comes but rather take advantage of the dip by buying in discount price.

AI has made life easy for students because they are not longer in that pressure on how to make researches and how to do their own academy assignments on their own. What I know id that as long as it is not an online exam, it will be hard for students to cheat with AI. Examination malpractise is what cannot be stopped when the educational system is corrupt

There are ways that you will put your question that AI wouldn't be able to generate the right answer to that question because it is confusing. Although from my observation AI has made many student lazy because they know how to get their assignments and project work done easily but that doesn't mean that when it comes to human brain work to think and discuss that AI can do that. If lectures finds out that students uses AI to pass their exam, the he should give them an oral test on the topic. I think that it is only an online exam that can be written by AI.
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 20, 2023, 03:24:01 PM

Girona is doing everything they can to win the season title, but I don't think Real Madrid and Barcelona will let that happen. I know that many of Real Madrid's talented players are injured, but I don't think that will stop Real Madrid from performing well. Real Madrid will continue to perform well because players like Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are still around. Despite their advanced age, these two players are still better than some of the world's young players. Jude Bellingham will play in every game that real Madrid plays because he is healthy again. Additionally, real Madrid has players like Rodrigo, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz who will play attacking positions.

In all honesty, these international matches are allowing a team to lose players. Girona will want to take advantage of real Madrid and Barcelona losing some of their players to win the league title, but I don't think that will happen because they will soon face a team that will defeat them. Not only will Barcelona face player problems, but real Madrid will as well. I heard that Gavi sustained a serious injury in yesterday's match.
Girona this season have been optimistic and determined to be in that top spot of the La Liga standings. They've been securing wins with good goal margins and making it all seem so easy. Will Real Madrid or Barcelona be pushed behind and subdued? I don't think so, Real Madrid alone has players fit enough for any encounter, they're doing really well for themselves, there's positivity in the team and majorly, they've been victorious many times.

 For Barcelona, although they are experiencing some mild defaults yet still, they still will pose a threat to Girona, they can do their best to stay out on the top 4 spot but to win the league, the probability is way less than average, not to mock them though because football is an unpredictable game, but they still know that Real Madrid especially won't make it so easy for them. We await the final season result and standings.
Yea Girona is a club that doesn't seem to be able to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona in the trophy race because we see them not as strong as these other two clubs since onset. But I think this season has been a different one for Girona because they have gone through so many challenges and they came out victorious where some of the big club like Barcelona is still facing some turbulence.

We might be thinking that because Girona is not among the top four most time in Laliga, that they will not be able to win the trophy but at the same time, anything can happen and that is why this is football because you should expect the unexpected. Girona might shock the world this season and win the trophy. Although, I am not saying that they are the favorite here but let's not underrate them because they were the least expected to be in the position that they are currently on the table.
1525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? on: November 20, 2023, 11:47:34 AM
Profit is what makes so many gamblers run at loss because they think that gambling is a means of making profit. This makes them to keep on playing even when they are winning or losing. When they are losing, they think that it is time for them to win more due to their greed and wjen they are losing, they will still continue playing to win back what they have lost.

Gambling is based on luck and that is why one must accept losses and gamble responsible to avoid becoming an addict. Only gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose and also have a time limit for your gambling activities, to prevent you from much loss.
1526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Are you in profit? on: November 19, 2023, 03:33:35 PM
My vote is a capital letter NO

Gambling is not what can generate profit for you because it will only take money from you and will never give it back to you in a profitable way. Although there are some people who will claim that they have made more of profit than loss, which I know that to see such person is rare.

When I was new to gamble, I had the wrong mindset on gamble and I thought that I can make profit from it, but I got disappointed because it thought me a hard lesson that made me to understand what gamble should be seen as. There are still new people who are also having this same thought that they can make profit from it and I just talked to one of them yesterday about the consequences of seeing gambling as a profitable activity
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: November 19, 2023, 02:19:39 PM
There are so many games one can gamble on when league games are on break because all the gambling games are fun, when you understand them, for this you have to pick from the ongoing game. League break is not a barrier to my gambling activities because I have to entertain myself once or twice in a week to ease me from daily stress.

If there is no sportbet, that is my best league is on break and I don't want to bet on sportbet, I do switch over to casino games to have fun, since I am a lover of both sportbet and casino games. Gambling is such a funny activities that one can place his bet on any challenge or competition for fun.

This forum is a bitcoin community and it has helped to enlighten and educate different people from different places on bitcoin and I must say that it is because of this forum that has made bitcoin to succeed till date, I might be wrong but this is how I see it, because this forum was created by Satoshi so that people can come together to share ideas on bitcoin.

If you look at it from this side, so many forum members must have told one or two people about bitcoin and I must say that the little knowledge that I have on bitcoin was from this forum, and I have extended such knowledge to people around me. To wrap it up, I will say that this forum is a gift to everyone here because it has changed our mentality towards how we think initially before we register here as a member because of the people we interact with here.
1529  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The rate of divorce in the society on: November 18, 2023, 08:07:44 PM
I think the trust issue is the main reason to giving divorce. Now day this is a common problem in our society no one trust on his partner in  this generation. Because of trust issue after sometime the decide day will leave his partner because trust is more important in a relationship then love. We can see our previous generation like our mother and father they do fight on a reason after sometime they stay together. That's type of trust and believe not available in this generation that's why the rate of divorce is increasing in our society.
You think that trust is above love in marriages, I will disagree with you on this. Love conquer everything because it is love that brings tolerance and trust. Any marriage without love will never work, because when two partners are in love with themselves, they will build trust.

There are some problems like rushing into marriage when you didn't take time to know the person and after rushing into it, you will rush out because your expectations were not what you saw. Another thing is that people marry the wrong partner and it is compulsory that when you marry the wrong person, there will be a divorce, because you guys were never made for each other. Not being open minded and iron out issues that you don't like that your partner is doing by telling him you don't like it and not also giving attention to your partner can break your marriage.

In gambling, it is a norm that you loss more than you gain and this is the reason why it is advisable to see gambling as dun and only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose. I have always gamble and sometimes I win and loss but I don't like thinking of my losses because it is something normal and as long as I enjoyed the entertainment, I am cool with it.

Most people that we hear about their wins, are just one sided people because most of them must have lost big but they wouldn't tell us this so that we don't see them as reckless gamblers. To be successful in gambling is not easy because gambling is based on luck.
1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 18, 2023, 05:06:36 PM
Its hard for me not to feel sorry for Everton right now. Its hard to see a team get punished so badly for making mistakes with money. It feels like all of their hard work for those 14 points has been wasted now that 10 points have been taken away. I get the need for rules, but this seems a bit harsh, especially when you hear that bigger clubs like Manchester City are also being investigated in the same way but arent facing any instant consequences. Seriously, I hope Everton can get through this rough patch.

In the second line, its clear that things are very bad for Everton. They really suffered when they fell into the relegation zone, especially since they were doing pretty well before the penalty. As they try to get back points against both strong and weak teams, it will be hard for them. I just hope that they can keep going and find the strength to do so. These events could either break them or make them better as a team. It will be clear in due time.
Everton have been docked 10 points, the heaviest punishment ever handed to any EPL side, for breaching financial rules, leading them down to the relegation zone of the EPL log, the severity of the punishment surprised Everton, who feel a sporting sanction for what they believe is a disagreement over accountancy interpretations is unjust and they would want to appeal, the decision has put into focus other Premier League clubs  investigations and how those clubs will be dealt with if also found guilty.

 Both Manchester City and Chelsea are being tried and could face more worst sanctions than that of Everton, well with this crazy sanction, I think it could kill the morale of the team and make them struggle more because this is so heartbreaking but the team needs to play with hopes of the verdict being overturned.
This is the biggest punishment ever in the history of football where 10 points was deducted through to voilation of law. This took Everton to 19th position on the table. It will really be hard for them to put themselves back into the competition. This was the same thing that affected Juventus last season in SeriaA that made them not qualify for the Champions league.

Manchester City and Chelsea will also face the same consequences if they are found guilty and this will definitely affect Manchester City the chance of winning the premier league this season because it will be a big blow to them.

It is true that bitcoin investment needs to be in a long term for one to be able to make profit from it,  and anyone who cannot sacrifice his time and money and endure while he is growing his investment wouldn't be able to be successful with in this type of investment. There is no investment without risk but for you to have it in mind that you are piling up your money in bitcoin because you see it as a store of value and an hedge to inflation will motivate you to keep your money in bitcoin for a long period of time.

Come to look at it from this angle not just saving your money from depreciation, your bitcoin can also generate profit for you in the long term, isn't this great rather than thinking that you can make quick profit from bitcoin when it isn't that easy to achieve. C'mon there are so many potential attached to bitcoin that should make you have some fractions of bitcoin that you wouldn't like to sell but keep it for many years so that you can have that joy that you have a bitcoin investment. Shitcoins can't give you a good feeling if you invest in it, when you know what you are doing because you might wake up one morning at itsvalue has turn to zero.  Shitcoins are like magic, because it is fast rise and fast fall.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How close have you ever been to winning a big amount/jackpot? on: November 17, 2023, 11:28:48 AM
In spotbetting, I was lose to winning big with a long slip which would have been a life changer for me but you know how this long slip game do end. The last game was the game that cut my slop. The game was played for one week and all the games came out as predicted, which gave me more confidence that I have won but unlucky for me the last game stole my win from me.

I couldn't eat and I was very upset on my greed because I was called by the bet agent to cash out, which I told them that I am winning the huge sum of money and they should make arrangement for my funds. This happened last year and it is still fresh in my memory. I don't play lotto, so i don't have any experience on it.
1534  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Low Liquidity Altcoins on: November 17, 2023, 10:39:01 AM
That coin PLX, is of low market cap and it is very risky to buy such coin that is not listed in an exchange. Only that should let you know that the coin is worthless and can be used to scam investors of their money. You will end up wasting your time and money, if you buy it.

I will advice you just like other forum members did to stay away from altcoins because their risk is very high and a newbie like you will end up running at loss when you invest in them because you don't know how to go about trading on them. If you have an altcoin, it is better that you sell it and buy bitcoin, as bitcoin is worth investing on for a long term profit. The choice is your to make.
1535  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: November 16, 2023, 08:52:30 PM
If we invest excessively, our portfolio increases but spending every month will be burdened because a lot of money goes out to bitcoin while other needs are cut because we want to increase investment every week or month, of course this will be heavy and unbalanced people will definitely find it difficult to do this.
There is no need for one to invest on whatever will be a burden on him, because an investment should be something that is tension free and burden free since you are on a long term ride. The lesser the burden on you when you are DCAing regularly, the higher chance that you have to invest in a long term to achieve your goal.

It is good when an investor on a long term bitcoin accumulation journey is sound in financial management, this will help him a lot to be flexible with his bitcoin accumulation in various stages of bitcoin price and he will continue to accumulate more bitcoin with regular DCA irrespective of bitcoin price without a problem, because he has a target that he wants to meet up in maybe 4-10yrs time. This is because he has made the available resources  to take care of every expenses that may disrupt his bitcoin accumulation journey.
1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler's family action. on: November 16, 2023, 07:29:18 PM
This is by far the most likely outcome, and if we are honest I think  everyone has made that mistake, however it is important that if at some point we get a big win, something that every single gambler would like to get at least once, that we do not waste that chance, as that is money that can be used to start something good on your life and allow you to skip a great deal of steps on the process of reaching the financial independence everyone is looking for.

I know a friend who happens to have the same story but not in gambling but when he hit the jackpot of promoting the right altcoin using bounties and airdrops. he never thought twice to gather his family and tell them about it. He bought his sisters some jewelry and smartphones and they extended their house with that money. He also gives their mother some nice gifts because my friend is really enjoying the scenery of a happy family. Even though he uses all the money he got from that single bounty reward, he never regrets it and now he has a stable job and no longer needs to invest his time doing some random altcoin bounties. mostly when we make others happy with what we can afford, it will come back to us double with lots of freebies.
your friend case and OP's case study is not similar. This is because I don't think that your friend parent and siblings did everything possible to stop him from altcoin bounties since am not sure if they are aware of what he was doing. However, it is good that we share out joyful moments with our loved ones by sharing our wins with them because they will be the ones for us on our sorrowful days.

I don't see anything wrong with what his family did to him, because nobody will be happy that their family member is a chronic addict and might make life miserable for himself in future if something is not done fast. These are family members trying to pill out their brother from addiction and it turns out that the guy won big, to prove to them that there is sense in what he is doing.
1537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 16, 2023, 04:26:09 PM
Tottenham as a host will play against Aston Villa later and i think this is interesting match because surprisingly Tottenham cannot last long to occupy first place even last week they have to lose against Wolves and Tottenham opponent Aston Villa has just gets different result because Aston Villa last week can able to beat Fulham at their home ground
Because Tottenham is not a team that can be favored to win the Premier League after they last won it in 1960/1961 and were runners up in 2016/2017.

Against Aston Villa in the 13th match, I still doubt Tottenham will get full points. At least they will share points with Aston Villa.
If Tottenham suffer another defeat against Aston Villa, it will be 3 consecutive defeats.
It is natural and right for Kane to leave Tottenham to feel the euphoria of lifting a trophy in his career.
Tottenham have injured players and this will affect their performance in this match against Aston Villa, but they can stull try their best to share points than to allow Aston Villa win them. After Chelsea defeated them, they have not being able to win their previous match and it will be a big problem for them if they allow Aston Villa to defeat them.

On the other hand Aston Villa will be prepared for this match because they need to win the match as they have seen that Tottenham has been weak recently in winning matches and this can be an opportunity for them to also take advantage of Tottenham weakness to gain all three points if they can outperform them in the match, but I don't think that it will be that easy for Aston Villa because Tottenham might not give them that chance.
1538  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you work toward hodling bitcoin? on: November 16, 2023, 03:11:15 PM
Bitcoin and fiat goes hand in hand, so there is no way that one will set up a business that is strictly on bitcoin payment that some of those bitcoin will not be spend to grow the business and to take care of some monthly expenses. The only thing that I can say is that since the business accepts only bitcoin, you should make your weekly expenses and such amount should be converted to fiat and keep the rest or your profit in bitcoin because it will be impossible to use bitcoin without fiat to run the business.

It is better if you can also have another business on fiat if those bitcoins are very precious to you and you think that selling them is a big loss die to the value in it, but you should also not forget that when you are with only bitcoin, you can't sit down and watch your business run down because you don't want to sell. If you are so mean with your bitcoin, then you shouldn't start up a business when you don't have a means of getting fiat without selling your bitcoin but hodli your coins. If all you income is in bitcoin then there is nothing you can do about it than to convert some fraction to fiat because you must survive.
1539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: November 15, 2023, 10:14:07 PM
Uoi should set aside a gambling budget for the week from your monthly income and whenever, you have exhausted the money you need to wait till the next month budget agaim. This will help you mange your bankroll and it will help to discipline you in your gambling activities, so that you dom' spend too much o gambling.

You should also learn on how to control your emotions when gambling and this is very important for a gambler. You should know that gambling is either you are to win or lose, for this reason when you are gambling your should always know that losses most come, so that when you start experiencing losses, you can know that it is normal. This will help you to control your emotions so that you don't start chasing your losses tryin to win back your funds as this will lead to more losses.
1540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: November 15, 2023, 08:27:59 PM
From my own perspective I think that if they want to gamble for fun the casino owner can do that either in his casino to promote his business or gamble in some other casino to see how their features are like. I don't think that most of them gamble because they know that the house hedge will always win.

It is better not to gamble when you own a casino to avoid you from being tempted to gamble most times because you will be able to afford any amount that you want to use in gambling since you own a casino.
