181  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it still possible to retire early? on: June 06, 2024, 10:58:32 AM
In my country most government workers don't retire themselves until the government retires them they even reduce their age so that they can serve long in public office. The reason is that they never planned on retiring early or the job that they doing pay is too small that they can not start up a business.

There are people who don't work under the government because they are self employed due to one or two skills that they learnt or they were privelege to set up a business. The bottom line is that, no matter how little you earn, think of another means of income or investment that can generate funds for you as your retirement back up. This is why investing in bitcoin is good for everyone that has plans of retiring early. Now that you are working, just make it a habit and assign an amount that you will use to buy bitcoin regularly till you retire from work.
182  Economy / Gambling / Re: How high is the probability of accusations vs. casinos in BitcoinTalk are true? on: June 06, 2024, 10:07:15 AM
It is good that those people laying accusations on casinos should be given listening ears and advice or options on what to do by forum members here, and I don't see how forum members are using it to meet up with their post quota, because no one can know if he is saying the truth or not. As humans, when we here the word 'scam', you will always feel pity for the victim.

If the topic is not discussed one will not know the truth that the accuser is a lair. I also believe that the way forum members take scam accusations serious on casinos will also help and promote the casino, the more if the truth is know. It will also make the casino to be cautious with their actions not to damage their reputation.
183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? on: June 06, 2024, 09:21:25 AM
Anyone that is using gambling as job is hopeless, because gambling gives false hope and waste your time. I will call them lazy people and they will die wretched if they don't come back to their normal senses and look for a job to do. Gambling is unpredictable, and another reason is that if you win big today since you have taking gambling to be a job, you will spend the money without caution believing that you will win tomorrow.

Gambling should be done for pleasure at our own leisure time, and not what we take personally to the extend that we are looking for how to survive with gambling. Addiction will be the case, because you will gambling everyday and a time will come that you will not have money to gamble, because you are not working and at the same time ha e lost all bankroll. These set of gamblers are the ones that will start taking loans and selling their properties. If a rich man can get reckt in gambling, then what will happen to you that don't have a job.
184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 05, 2024, 02:31:26 PM
Mbappe wanted to come for free. If he wanted, he would have renewed a 1-year contract with PSG and it would have been sold to Real Madrid with a transfer fee, but Mbappe had set his mind on joining Real Madrid and he achieved his goal at the end of the year. I'm excited to watch him in the Real Madrid jersey. Now we can follow him in Euro 2024 and relax a bit

Maybe PSG did not treat him very nice as he expected therefore he decided that PSG would not take any fee from his transfer fee. Because if both parties were in good terms he would had renewed his contract to fetch the club alot of money. I remember last time there was a big disagreement between mbappe and PSG, PSG made a big mistake because they would had sold him last summer to make big profit from him after using him all this while to achieve the success the club has in their league. Mbappe going to Real Madrid is the best move for his career and I do not think he'll end up like Eden Hazard because Mbappe is still in his prime and has alot of contributions he can bring to the team but when Eden Hazard left Chelsea, he was already woreout. Bit still Mbappe needs Real Madrid than Real Madrid needs Mbappe.
I don't understand why Real Madrid need a player with such a character. Mbappe for many years received a huge salary in PSG, was on a special account and even resented when the coach tried to change it, it was obvious that Mbappe considers himself the main star of PSG and in fact it was, the team was built around the game Mbappe, but now when he moved to Real, he immediately told how badly he was treated in PSG, as threatened not to put in the lineup if he did not extend the contract, although he almost always got into the starting lineup.
Ancelotti's Real are famous for their good atmosphere in the team, where even the stars behave like ordinary people and all play for the team, putting the common goal above their needs and now in Real comes a player who has always put his interests above the interests of the team and it will be interesting how Ancelotti will cope with him. 
A difficult period may be beginning for Real Madrid. In this case, Ancelotti will have a big job. Ancelotti must manage Mbappe's ego well. If this will cause unrest within the team, they may even leave him on the bench. No one can be the main player of the team. This situation varies depending on the environment you are in. I see Mbappe's joining the team as positive, but they have to overcome these problems as well.
What ego does Mbappe have compared to that of Vinicius, Mbappe is not an average player so I believe he should have a say on what he thinks is best for him. Real Madrid are not going to have any issues, instead they will get even better, Mbappe playing for a big club like Madrid is just what he needs in his career. I believe we are yet to see the best form of Mbappe due to how impressive his team mates are even without him yet would warrant him to do better and step up his game.
Yeah, I think he will keep his pride aside immediately he is in Real Madrid, because he knows that the team can do without him, instead he is the one that needs the team to improve himself and win trophies, if possible set new records for himself. Ancelotti is a coach that every player respects and wants to make happy because he is a good and friendly coach, so his influence will humble Mbappe.

Sometimes, relationship matters alot. Maybe in PSG, he does not like some players and the coach, or he feels that he is bigger than them which is making him to fool himself, he will not try that in Madrid because there are young vibrant players in competition with him.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling increases computer education. on: June 05, 2024, 01:35:52 PM
Each time I visit some physical betting shop in my country, I usually observe how some elderly people make use of computers. I live in a country where most people 55 years and above don't have basic computer education. Many of them cannot use the mouse, keyboard, or other parts of the computer. This might be because most of them have not been exposed to computer education.

However, the introduction of online betting has forced most gamblers in my country to learn how to use the computer. It is now common to see some elderly people using the mouse and keyboard effectively. Most of them have never attended any computer education class but learned through observation. Others might have gone through some level of training from family or friends. I am sure many of them wouldn't have learned anything about the computer if not for online gambling. What are your thoughts?

I can say that this is all true, not just by using the computer but also by the use of mobile devices. Before, some.elders doesn't want to engage in any digital devices because they thought that it is not easy to use but now that they do some online gamblings, they learned a lot, like they improve a lot because they needed to. It's a good points for online gambling because they are the reason why some elders know how to navigate even the simpliest thing to do in a computer.
It is not because of gambling mate, we are in the technology Era where computer is important to our lives and that is why you see that everyone just have to join the moving train. I could remember that even youths back days finds it difficult to operate the computer, but it is not so today as many youths are now computer literate.

Most people go to computer courses to learn how to use computers. What I want you to look at is this, the population of gamblers is small compare to the population of non gamblers, so how did the non gamblers learn how to use computers. Online gambling became popular in 2019 during the Covid 19,and many people are already used to gambling.

Racism has always being there since the days of our forefathers, and I thought that this our generation will be able to overcome it. Neither do I know that it will still continue but can only be reduced because it is now frowned at by everyone, because it does not promote unity.

Envy and wickedness leads to racism, because the white man is not happy that the black man is having the same priveledge with him, since the back man is not from his country. In football, I will say the white guys are angry that the black guy came to their country to make money, firm and history. If not why the racism in football, when most clubs have black players that they are always training and playing with often.

I feel for his family bro, addiction has eaten up your elder brother to the bone. If you ask him, he will tell you that he thought that he can double his salary, which is the silly excuse addicted people will always give your their actions.

He needs help and should go to an expert to counsel him. This is the problem that we are facing in the society, a lot of gamblers are gambling for profit and not for fun which is why they are prone to addiction. Gambling should not ne what will separate us from our family, instead of leaving your family for gamble, it is better you leave gambling for your family and gamble when you can control yourself.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you really want from gambling? on: June 05, 2024, 10:08:30 AM
OP, I am in the same shoes with you, because I know that gambling cannot give me the amount of money I want which I know. I don't also like losing when gambling because I hate it when I lose. But I still have to gamble in the sense that I love gambling to try my luck and also enjoy the fun.

I started gambling because my friends are gambling and that was not good because we were eonly after making money with it, which made most of us addict. Being free from addiction made me to decide never to think I can win big from gambling which was why I started gambling with caution and funds that are not useful to me. I will say I gamble because I love the act of staking.

He fucking owns X and has the right to do whatever he wants, and you should not forget that he is a business man and no matter how rich he is, he is doing this for money. Elon has being disgusting me recently with some of his post on X acting as if he can control people's lives.

I am not surprised at this new from what I have being reading from his post on X recently. He also have a child and relations too that have children so whatever he does will also have negative impact on him indirectly. Porn on social media is weird. X is becoming something else.
191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: June 04, 2024, 07:33:57 PM
Mbappe will perform even more strongly after joining Real Madrid, as a striker entering the team will surely strengthen the attacking department and the ones they can succeed in attacking. For a long time, the Real Madrid team performed very well in these seasons. However, if there is a competition, only Manchester City and Real Madrid will have a great competition between these two teams. The threat of unique team is very less as they have failed to perform well in these seasons despite having good performance and strong squad.

The Champions League season is over and Real Madrid is celebrating the title after finishing the season. Real Madrid became the champions this season and secured their 15th title by becoming champions while Dortmund finished as runners-up this season. A new season will start in a few days and based on how each team is buying new players and building their squads, it can be said which team is the favorite for next season's Champions League tournament. However, Real Madrid and Manchester City will always be among the favorite teams in the Champions League tournament.
I know that those two clubs are the favorite next season but it doesn't mean that they will be the winner next season. I cannot give my prediction now because the league have not started, and I have not seen the performance of the players in various clubs. It is until when next season starts that I can give a good speculation on this.

I don't want to start using this season to judge next season, because we saw a lot of surprises from small clubs this season and next season might be the same. There might be some unforeseen challe he's might might be a hinderanceto these big clubs next season, but let's watch and see what happens during the window transfer and the beginning of next season.
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 04, 2024, 06:56:57 PM
When the season is over and the new season is coming up there is always such speculation about some managers and teams. So amazing things are already being talked about before they happen which have never happened as is being talked about now. Ten Hag needs a new and more modern way of coaching a team and in placing players in each game he plays. Because without a good strategy and tactics for a team like Manchester United, I think changes in any way will never go according to plan.

So do you think he can be given a chance to stay? Looking at the condition of the game and the final results this season I actually don't like him, because he can't bring Man United to appear in stable form.  Even they are not able to stay in the Europa League Zone.
I haven't heard officially if he will leave or stay, if he leaves of course the players need a new adaptation. But if Ten Hag stays then he must dare to try new things, his old strategy cannot optimize the Man United players this season. So I agree with your writing.

Erik Ten Hag should have deserved to be fired, especially since Manchester United's performance this season has been very disappointing. Even this season, finishing in 8th place and only collecting 60 points was the worst record since the David Moyes era.
Yea he deserves to be fired but he was still able to qualify the club for Europa League next season even at 8th position, because he won FA Cup. This is a good record for the season. There are some clubs that did better than United this season but they were unable to win any trophy.

This is why Eric Ten Hag is given another opportunity to continue as the manager of United next season. We should also know that it is not easy for a coach to transform a club that has being suffering from poor performance in just two years. Ferguson was given enough time in United when he became the manager, before he started winning trophies and took united to the height were they are today. To revive a club is not an easy task, and it needs patience.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: June 04, 2024, 05:46:52 PM

It's a general occurrence both in the offline settings. I don't think that one set of gamblers act differently when it comes to finance. There is a high rate of gamblers who don't care about gambling for fun. And many others that actually forget about the dangers of chasing profits in gambling. Portability is the only good aspects of online gambling that makes people think that online gamblers think so much of making money through gambling. What you both said, if applied both online and offline the player wouldn't face any negative effects while gambling.

Indeed, everyone who wants to enter and run their gambling activities has different views and goals and the majority of them are only pursuing profit there, even though they are just for fun, but when they see or hear the experience of winning other gamblers or even at that time they get a win, they can also gamblers will change their minds to pursue victory again and again and what will happen in front of them is that they will lose control and change their behavior to be unnatural. Therefore, applying self-control is very important to maintain stability in ourselves when playing gambling so as not to be careless and away from greed that can make our lives messy.
If you allow yourself to be triggered with another gambler's win, then there is possibility that you win incur heavy losses because you might start thinking that you can also win big and that will lead that gambler to start chasing his losses. But if you see other people wins as their own luck, that will make you not get triggered and you will be able to have self control over your gambling activities.

Be it online or offline the gambler is still the same person and that implies that he will still gamble the same way. If he is addicted, he will still be chasing his losses, and if a responsible gambler do not control himself, he will still get addicted irrespective of where he is gambling on either online or offline.
194  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible to inherit a gambling debt? on: June 04, 2024, 04:19:04 PM
The high rate of gamblers who take loan for gambling purposes is quite alarming, and most of them are fathers to kids. Most of them don't end up taking care of their debt before passing. What happens to the funds, when the lender comes for his money? It's quite a tough one for a person who isn't a gambler to inherit a trouble from a gambling dad. Such things also increase the anger of the society on gamblers, because the addicts are, also, good at extending their problem gambling to other close relatives. Could it be talked through in the law court?

It sounds very sad if the incident really happens in our family members, but for me personally, an incident like what you said actually does exist in someone's life, what I mean is that I have heard that there is a child who bears and is responsible for the debt left by his father because his father used to like to gamble or could be called a gambling addict or crazy and the father may not have dared to tell his bad behavior to family members, even the father dared to borrow money from his friend to gamble, but according to the agreement only the father and his friend knew and the child would be fully responsible for paying the loan to his father's friend.
So in the end the only way is for the child and his family to have to return it immediately or they will often experience terror from the borrower.

It is very possible to inherit gambling debt, by nature and custom, after the death of either the Father or Mother the children or family left are expected to pay the debt if demanded. I have read and also heard about cases like this, and is so bad to pay a debt which was used for gambling with interest already yielded.
This is one of the many reasons I emphasize on limits, risk control and Moderation in gambling because only an addicted gambler will borrow money just to gamble to satisfy his urge.
In some countries, it is lawful to pay the debt owed by the deceased. The family of the deceased will be help responsible to pay up such debt. If the debtor has a property, it would be sold to make payments and if he does not have, his family members will look for a means to pay back the debts.

This is why irresponsible gambling is not good and can lead to a great pain on the family, if the late person had a gambling debt before he passed on. Be a responsible gambler and don't put too much burden on your family after death.

My number one thing now is crypto staking on many different exchangers and self custody wallets stablecoins and altcoins.
I am not down with the staking thing because you are to keep your funds with a third party, and whatever happens to the exchange, your funds is gone, I think to me it is a dumb idea, because you don't have the right to withdraw when the time hasn't come, and even if there is a red flag on that exchange, you still will not be able to transfer your coins.

I prefer to invest only in bitcoin because I am in self custody of my coins and I am happy to watch my investment grow as I DCA weekly without skipping it. I will hodli for long and I will get more profit from my bitcoin investment compare to those staking, because of the size of my portfolio.

I only keep the value of my fiat currency in USDT, because it has more valuable than my local currency so that inflation does not eat up the value so soon before spending it. Investment is very important in life because it shows that you are planning a better life for your future.
196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling increases computer education. on: June 04, 2024, 02:44:36 PM
I don't know which country that you are from, but down here in my country it is not the same. As you will hardly see an old man involving in online gambling, because they prefer the offline casino and gambling system since that is what they are used to. I have tried several times to bring my big uncle into online gambling but he always complains that he prefers the offline casinos because of the social life style.

However, you should not also forget that some of this old men have computers in their houses and offices which they are used to, and it is such people that will love to try something new, and they can give online gambling a trial, if they enjoy it, they will continue. Maybe those are the old men that you are seeing in those bets hops placing their bet. So don't see those old men as computer illetrate that learnt how to operate computer because of gambling. Are you kidding me.

So, is it wrong to be too addicted to gambling?
There is nothing like too addicted, addiction is addiction and from your story above you have seen the consequences of addiction, it can make you do unimaginable things to satisfy your gamble urge to make profit. Addiction can lead to suicide. Addiction destroys one future, if he does not help himself out of addiction.

how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?
Gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose and don't chase your losses. See gambling as a means of entertainment and only gamble for fun. You should also have a gamble budget and time limit on your gambling activities in order to discipline yourself.

We want to share our happiness and pain. Because there is no other way to make them better. When we are very happy, we share it with others. And we increase our happiness. We share our pain with others.
Do you think the people that you are planning to share your happiness with really want you to be happy? We are in a world where people you see smiling with you don’t really want you to be successful, so whenever you tell them about your success story, they always feel bad, and some might end up doing things that will hurt you. So it’s better when you are happy, just keep it to yourself or share it with only your family members, maybe your wife and children.

But no matter how close you are to someone, always mind what you tell them, there are things that are supposed to be kept to yourself alone. Most people you see always want you to be in pain, that’s what gives them joy, not your happiness.

Some people cannot keep secrets and whatever happens to them they tell everyone whether good or bad. Such gamblers will not be able to hide their wins from people because of their loud mouth. There are some other gamblers that think telling people about their win will make those people respect them, unknown to them that whoever will respect you will do it, even if you don't win anything.

I don't like sharing my financial life with people especially if I win big, I keep it a secret because I don't need anyone to know that such funds in in my possession for my own safety and freedom to mingle with people as usual without any side talks or evil plan.
199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 03, 2024, 04:06:16 PM
Ten Hag is not going anywhere at least for 1st 10-15 matches of EPL and he is doing well yes he cannot get the best from some of the players but he did good for the team and ManU management is happy with him after Man U beat Man city in final and won the cup.
If the management of the Manchester United club is satisfied with the FA Cup they have won this season, of course there is no reason to keep Ten Hag at Manchester United in the next few seasons. However, the team and also Manchester United fans also really want to see Manchester United grow again by getting more extraordinary trophies in the Premier League and also in other competitions. So it is hoped that Ten Hag himself can provide his best tactics for the Manchester United team starting next season.
A trophy was finally achieved even with the inconsistency of Manchester united, and that is what matters most. If a weak club like Manchester united is able to win a trophy, it shows that they are not that bad this season but had worst moments on the pitch. What surprised me it that it is the overall best club in EPL that the weak Manchester united won, it shows that with EricTen Hag still the manager, the club will do better next season.

New players should be brought into the club and some old players should be offloaded in order to give the club an outstanding performance from their counterparts.

You should start by reading the pinned topics on top of the this board written by Cryptopreneuerbrainboss, Charles-Tim and Igebotz. Those topics will guide you on how to how to go about your posting in this forum. Bitcoin is the major discussion here because that was the reason Satoshi Nakamoto created this forum, to share knowledge, pass information on bitcoin network.

There are a lot of things to learn here apart from bitcoin but it depends on your own area of interest. The skills that you will learn here are good writing skills, how to communicate with people in discussions and how to express yourself. You will learn the technical aspect of bitcoin and you will also learn how to invest in bitcoin and hodli for a long time. I believe that 50% of forum members have bitcoin and most of them were motivated from here to invest in bitcoin which they are happy that they did. If you are serious to learn here, you will improve financially.
