Your thread explains the usual phrase when people say an Idle mind is just a devil's workshop. There is nothing that scares me like boredom, it gives you room to think deeply and that's when you start thinking unnecessary kinds of stuff, and before you blink an eye, gambling thoughts come in and the bad side of it is that you don't care if it crosses your monthly gambling budget.

I have a rule and I stick to it, I know some games and matches could be tempting to wager an amount but once I know I don't have any money from my gambling budget, I don't stake a kobo(cent) on any game and when I'm lonely, I switch to sports event or channels to entertain myself to avoid unnecessary loss or matches I didn't plan for in the first place.

It doesn't make sense to me for a casino to only accept only its own token, I mean what is the use of Bitcoin and other used coins and tokens? The Casinos I have seen around usually don't do this, they will rather create a token for their casino as a utility and also make some important features for users and players who hold their tokens, and this, directly and indirectly, creates demand for their tokens. The casino can also choose to allow some discount wager in some games when a player owned their token, this will create demand for the tokens, even the centralized exchange does something similar but they don't reject other coins and tokens.

There is something other people have been discussing and also ignoring at the same time, Liverpool has been out of the trend line and their performance is nothing to speak about but what if? It is difficult to say that Liverpool may be welcome in the top 4 in the Premier League due to their inability to win important matches and earn 3 points in multiples but what if they turn up in the Champions League? They equally know that they have lost important leagues like FA Cup, and Carabao Cup but since they know that their only remaining chance is only Champions League, they may as well want to beat Madrid, it is even likely because I'm not too satisfied with their performances lately.

Football transfer doesn't work that way, and even at that, I believe Ronaldo should have been a lesson to other great players. Liverpool wasn't ready to increase his wages but Bayern increases way more than what he was requesting from Liverpool and now he is enjoying Bundesliga if weren't for his injury but he is coming back very soon. If they want him at all cost, it will only be bad business for Liverpool because Bayern Munich aren't fool too, they will increase the asking price also.

They actually need Mane but they can opt in for other options, most of the work Salah is doing right now is combined work of Mane and his own that's why man is finding it so hard to shine, they should patch it up to get back on their feet.

I do not fully agree with some explanations, first Real Sociedad played roughly because they were afraid of Real Madrid, so their poor challenge bagged them 4 yellow cards, none of them was excluded, the goalkeeper, the defender, the midfielder, and the winger all received a Yellow card in that match and if not for Remiro's efforts for his countless saves, Real Sociedad would have conceded at least 2 goals yesterday.

I'm not so happy with the gap Barcelona has given Real Madrid, if they flip through, it might become a problem to overcome, they have lost a game out of their last 5 matches that could have helped them as a catalyst to get to Barcelona and now another mistake from Ancelotti for thinking their last formation against Atletico Madrid will work against Sociedad but ended up as a draw, they need to do better.

There is a limit to what coaches can do, they can only teach from their experience but cannot change the situations of the match like when a player has a red card or yellow card due to poor challenge, when a player got an injury, what the team can do is totally out of his control even when they walk linearly along the pitch, we should stop all this lame blame on managers and coach.

Liverpool's match against Brighton was below average, Brighton outshined them, the way Salah was running yesterday proves what Klopp said that Mane's absence from the squad has affected Salah this season, the new signee Gapko played well though, maybe we will soon see their impact very soon but to be sincere, Liverpool is clearly not on form right now.

There are events that are unavoidable, we couldn't control the Pandemic but even at that, they schedule Premier League matches, only the fans weren't allowed to come to the pitch to come watch, and the death of the queen also made them suspended Premier League for two weeks matches in respect and honor to the queen, the World Cup is also events that the world and Football federation all want to see happened, some of these things are unavoidable but we must move on; on the aspect of World Cup, all the players who went to play were all paid, I don't think there is any negative effect by representing your country.

When you win a bet, you are part of the percentage that won that bet, and more so, there are set of people who lost in that duration, it could be a loss to the house but they do recover from those losses within some period, no matter how big you won from a casino, there are hundreds and thousands who will lose a huge amount in that casino depending on how large is the player base of that casino.

Gambling has a way of making you want to come back, especially when you notice an opportunity and feel like risking it in the hopes that it would be a good day. I find myself in that scenario occasionally; I see some good matches that I think I could bet on whenever I attempt to take a vacation from gambling, but the urge to test it out won't let me rest, and before I realize it, I've lost some money. I believe it is natural for gamblers to feel the want to return, but establishing a limit to stop when you realize you are losing is the best option.

You know that domestic leagues gives rooms and chances while after the group stage, Champions League only give room for just home and away after the group stage which after an aggregate will determine the next move of a team. Also, some of the domestic league are just withing a particular region while Champions League combined top leagues together to challenge each other. I believe when the league resume by February 14, we are going to see changes in the way this teams play and also some players who are still in injury from domestic leagues should be back on therir fit especially Bayern who have gave Mane a long break to get on his feet.

Atletico was clearly defending from beginning of the first half with the little attack but they have to sacrifice their defense by playing a little bit of defecne and attack in the second half and they make used of that opportunity. Osasuna enjoyed the match perhaps because it is their home but they gave Atletico some good pressure and lessons even when history says they always loose to Atletico. Atletico Madrid manage to slip through a goal at the second half and never gave Osasuna a chance to equalize.

Atletico Madrid are getting closer to the top standing on the table but it always seem that the more they approach the big guys on the top four, they always lose to them on most of the matches against them, they should do more bids on midfielders to strengthen their defence before the january transfer closes.

Ever since Chelsea utilized their new signees, I think they have improved in Premier League for the past 2 weeks, they have not lost a single match, and looking at Fulham, they have lost two matches in a row which signifies that they are getting weak or something is actually wrong somewhere. If Chelsea should move on that momentum, they would conquer Fulham with a clean sheet.

Two giants west and north east London clubs (Chelsea and Liverpool) are both aligning with each other, I'm skeptical to see who will leave their comfort zone first, they both share the same number of won matches, and the same draws but a difference in loss. They have both signed new players, they should improve no matter what in their upcoming matches.

The forum alone is to gather enough information as a beginner, you will get what you need as a first timer but if you want to further your knowledge, there are other resources out there especially the technical aspects. I use learnmeabitcoin.com those times and its self explanatory piece helped me in technical situations.

He should also learn to open threads with questions if there is need, beginners and help, development and technical discussions are few places that best help newbies about bitcoin.

I will continue to rent until I become financial stable, and I wouldn't advise you to take a loan to purchase a house, you know why, it will destabilize you in the future, buying a house or building a house without been financial okay would not only put you in trouble, you will likely sell them in the future because that house will need maintenance like toilet facilities changes, you may need to change the roof if you live in a hot temperate region, normal use maintenance which may be difficult for you to do if you buy your house on loan, you will be only concerned to pay back the loan and at the end of the day, you will living in old house without any achievement. Think it through before you carry any loan.

Money is the root of all evil at this century? Give me all those money, I have the super power that quench those evils away 

On a serious note, that clause is an adage that describe the level people go to look for money and the peer pressure from the society has made it  worse. I will use my environment as an example, an average boy that is supposed to be concentrating his head on college and how to graduate with a first class or second class upper division is worried that his clan are already making it, bought cars and houses but he hasn't made any and meanwhile he doesn't know what they do for a living and before you know, he has indulge into cyber crime, this is how money becomes the root of evil.

Money makes people to do evil because they want to earn it legally or illegally, people who don't have access to money may decide to kidnapp, rob a bank, steal from people, these are the various ways people do bad things to get money which are all evil things to consider.

Bitcoin is acceptable worldwide because it is borderless, and resistant to censorship but the big guys who control the traditional financial market will not allow it to prevail the way it will naturally spread if they don't use their power to suppress it. However, power fade with time, those who think they control it now will some how lose their energy and opportunity for bitcoin will open, that's when you will here that Mr.A has 10 bitcoin worth billions of dollars. The world revolve and the people you think today that controls this traditional finance will become insignificant tomorrow, bitcoin will lead but we should accept it that no matter how valuable bitcoin is, not everyone will like it, that's the reality of life.

There were time when bitcoin hasn’t gotten to this stage, people were saying all sort of things that bitcoin will go to zero but it never did and now that it has become 20 more bigger than the previous times, the probability of it going to zero should have impossible by 20 times, bitcoin is not going to zero, the demands would will consume all the supply because the liquidity around lower levels wouldn’t even let come close to $5k and besides, the OGs are watching, they wouldn’t allow their investment becomes wash away.

Your second question have been justified by my first answer but incase it happens, then Fiat would probably may also not be in existence, perhaps the world would have change the way from the way financial markets works, probably a new system.

I like your creativity of a way of making awareness to people who are yet to understand bitcoin at all but don’t you you think “Financial freedom” phrase need detail explanation, the transport vehicle owners may decide to hang the stickers on their motorbikes and vehicles but they wouldn’t be able to explain it for the passengers especially the conductors who can’t explain to the literates ones.

I suggest you add two line of sentences about bitcoin in small fonts describing what bitcoins is all about, you can pick interesting words from bitcoin white paper and explain them in your own way that people will understand very easily and comprehend without stress.

Are there people that still don’t know what bitcoin is all about at this stage?   This is shocking though, you tried in your one way of explaining to him but I hope you didn’t hype it, I frowned at people that does that because people expectations becomes high and they expect much from bitcoin and along the line, if it doesn’t go the way they want it to be, the reality set in and they give up easily.

It’s always advisable to tell people all they need about bitcoin, not only the sweet talk investment this and that, tell them the risky part of it, it will at least ease their expectations when there is volatility in the price, trust me those are the people that last with bitcoin even when there is FUD or bleed in the market.

Uchegod-21 has a point and I support his points, Chelsea lack midfielders and defenders, attackers can't do this alone and you also said that. Clearly, Chelsea has been under water but Thomas Tuchel was making success in ways he can until political management replaced him with Potter. Now, it seems Potter doesn't get to decide how to cook his players and which players is needed, they should sign all the strikers they need, if they don't have good midfielder and defenders, they wouldn't go far.

Wow! Are you really referring to Barcelona, the Spanish one or there is another from the one I grew to know about?
Barcelona is not that strong? Did you watch the final Spanish super Cup? Didn't the ending tells you what they really are or you also consider that's as a luck. 

Real Sociedad you rooted for lost to Barcelona, not because they are favorite but because they had a red card and playing 10 against 11 is very difficult especially a team like Barcelona. Barcelona are top of the season because they deserve it, may be a first leg highlights review will help you, you should check out.
