Is it and what I only prepare for emergencies such as hospital fees or death costs is worthy of being called untouchable savings? because I have that and will only use the funds for emergencies as I said.

the pandemic that passed, gave me and my partner to allocate all the money we got to several parts, such as investments - daily necessities - paying debts - emergency savings. we will never know what other shocking events will happen in the future, what if we are happening the next pandemic that causes us to lose our jobs or something?

wise people always prepare themselves, nothing is comfortable in this world and the future is a mystery.
1822  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What most gamblers do. on: February 14, 2023, 01:50:26 AM
I want to ask a question. And I need serious answer from this forum, and my question is WHY DOES A GAMBLER DON'T HAVE A SAVINGS.
In my country (Nigeria) there are many gamblers who don't have savings and it isn't help matters at all.

Quote
- Not Realizing Early on That Savings is Important
- Difficult to Distinguish Needs and Wants
- The desire to continue gambling and to be at gambling
- The desire to make oneself happy through the victory of gambling

in today's era (not only in Nigeria but in my country and even other parts of the world), many people who don't have savings are not just gamblers but ordinary people too, that's because they don't have good financial control. gambling is not bad but losing control of yourself and finances is bad.

Most of these gamblers can't afford for there families but they can afford money they will use to gamble. So why are they not having savings that they can use to help there families in time of lack. Like they said, we save money so money can save us tomorrow. But these gamblers doesn't know that.

only a small proportion of gamblers have good financial management skills, most are very bad at it even in severe conditions, will no longer care about family affairs, and all that is on their mind is gambling. I have often heard in my country a case that tells how a gambler was caught stealing - robbing - even abusing a family just to fulfill their desires at the gambling.

quite an easy win for man city. Man City has been leading the match since minute 4 'from the goal created by Rodri, and Assist Mahrez, even though Haaland didn't score, he managed to provide 1 assist. currently, man city and arsenal are only 3 points apart.

...
Liverpool 4.20
It's funny that bets are not accepted on City - I wonder if City will definitely be in the top 4 or because of the threat of points deduction?
In fact, Liverpool have a ghostly chance.

very lucky that placed a bet for liverpool yesterday LOL. Dyche used a defensive strategy to face Liverpool but it was useless because he was unable and wrongly managed to score a goal against Everton. Nunez is very good as a support for Salah, he made 1 assist for Salah to prove that he is not a lone attacker. good cooperation from salah - gakpo - nunez.
1824  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will there ever be any safe centralised exchange ? on: February 13, 2023, 04:01:21 AM
Exchanges are not at all secure. We must avoid keeping money in exchanges, whether it is centralised or decentralized. These resemble a market where you can only transact. You run a very high danger of having your money or cryptocurrency stolen. So, absolutely, use them only as necessary. Additionally, as is always recommended, keep your money in offline or hardware wallets. If you don't, nobody will be able to stop you from losing your hard-earned money.

saving assets on an exchange, that's a pretty stupid thing, I had a bad experience where in the end my funds couldn't be withdrawn because I kept my crypto assets on FTX, when their exchange collapsed they would automatically freeze all the assets on their exchange. 99% safer to store assets in a personal wallet.

There's no way to verify centralized exchange! they're not open source, not giving your seed phrase, etc. If you use centralized exchange, it's mean you're trusting your money to them and you need to accept all the risk when the exchange bankrupt, confiscate your funds, terminate your account etc and you don't have any way to recover your coins. So it's mean there's no such safe in centralized exchange!

when we send assets to CEX then they are no longer our assets because they are the ones who already hold the assets, so I usually use exchanges only to exchange my assets to my local fiat currency and vice versa, but to keep crypto assets for the long term, I really avoid storing it in CEX or DEX.
1825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Features in Crypto Casinos for the Elderly on: February 13, 2023, 03:37:46 AM
I visited an uncle in another city. His birth year was 1960. He has been an avid gambler for a long time and frequently visits brick-and-mortar casinos. He currently wants to test out an crypto casino. He has heard a great deal about it. He did, however, note that despite possessing the cash, he has no knowledge of how to use cryptocurrency for gambling but would really like to. I would like to suggest that crypto casinos put a video tutorial explaining how to use cryptocurrencies for gambling on their website.

I think that on YouTube there are many tutorials about how to make deposits or withdrawals using a cryptocurrency which are carried out by gambling sites or users of gambling sites, for example stake.com and several other gambling sites, you can check youtube and tell your uncle about it.

What other features would you like to see in crypto casinos for senior citizens?

each country has its own habits and even gamblers too, in my country there are also many older people who really like playing mahjong - poker - blackjack - or PvP chess. a gambling game that can sharpen the brain, this is a good thing for seniors.
1826  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is risky, be conscious on: February 13, 2023, 03:12:22 AM
Over the time, I've seen people wanting to go into trading because they feel or think is a get rich quick scheme but get so disappointed along the process because the result they get isn't what was expected.
Trading is a very lucrative business but also a very risky business as well and as such should be done with so much caution.

trading can give profitable = yes
trading can be detrimental = yes

the more you take risks using large capital, the greater your chances of profit or loss, so don't ever think that trading is an easy job that anyone can do.

What would be your advice for those wanting to trade as a newbie?

I'm not a financial advisor or investment adviser but I always emphasize beginners who want to start crypto trading (including my friends)
- ask yourself if trading is the business you want to do.
- are you ready for losses that could affect your condition? your finances.
- where does your capital come from.
- do you have basic skills such as analytical skills - technical - and mental resilience?
1827  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think of gold price in long term? on: February 13, 2023, 02:26:22 AM
...
However, we haven't seen any significant changes in gold price yet to approve the above news.

I'm wondering what does everyone think about gold price in the long term, specially in coming year or two as the conflicts get worse and more economies crash which would push regular people to invest in gold and more governments to start increasing their gold reserves on larger scale.

Until now, many world governments have continued to increase their gold reserves in order to keep their fiat currency stable and can be used at any time to buy back when their fiat currency falls or the investment value in their country decreases, but because the current supply of gold is sufficiently abundant, making the price remain in the stable category.

Price fluctuations in gold are also not too large every year, so people still tend to have greater trust in gold even though it is not for investment purposes, because there are also people who use gold only for jewelry or to decorate themselves without thinking about investment. Even though there are many who store gold for investment purposes, considering that trust in gold is still very large and has not decreased in the eyes of the public.

I still remember my mother's words very well, that I have to have gold as a long-term investment because the demand will continue to exist and the resale value in the future will not make a loss. from there I think that since long ago, many people have depended on their investments in gold and it is difficult to change, and it can last for decades to come. for stable long-term investment, I think gold is very good but to get rich from gold investment, I think it's difficult.
1828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do casino and sports betting platform owners gamble as much as other people? on: February 13, 2023, 01:58:17 AM
...
Do you think that the owners of casinos and sports betting platform, gamble as much as other people do?

I don't have a friend who has a gambling business but I'm sure the owner of a gambling business is someone who has ever played gambling but his mindset has changed from a gambler to a gambling business owner and regarding whether they gamble as much as other people do, that's what has to be done we ask each gambling owner personally LOL.

If they gamble, do you think they gamble on their platform?

maybe they play on their gambling site for various purposes like testing their system or others but this is definitely a secret that must be kept by all gambling business owners. If they also play on the site they created, doesn't that appear as an act of fraud?
1829  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it true that 80% of the world's wealth in the hands of 20%? on: February 13, 2023, 01:34:55 AM
Without need to look the studies and statistics, I think everyone know if the wealth gap between the poor and middle class with upper class are extremely far.
...
The upper class already have a lot business, they're also make a lot money from stupid poor and middle class, so it make them can expand their business become bigger and bigger.

this world economy is controlled by some people, that is very true, but aren't your words very harsh toward the poor! until whenever it is true that the gap between the poor and the rich will forever exist, many rich people create new businesses with the aim of getting money from purchases made by the general public, for example > cigarettes, many cigarette business people make money from selling cigarettes to poor people because they are true cigarette addicts.

The solution for equality of wealth distribution will never come from government who are the same people causing the inequality.
No matter how nice a politician or public office holder is, one thing is certain, they wants to clinge to power and make more money.
I just feel there might not be any solution coming to the rescue soon. The powerful sees oppressing the powerless as a fun sport.
Just think about the reasons why so many governments of the world are against cryptocurrency.

the government in many countries is controlled by businessmen because when they carry out campaigns, the political funds they receive can come from them.
because the emergence of bitcoin and cryptocurrency really cannot be stopped, most governments are afraid that what they have controlled so far will just disappear, so they do various ways to define bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a form of resistance against the government and the world economy.
1830  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betnomi.com | Crypto Centric 🏀Sportsbook and 🎲Casino - 🔥Biggest Jackpots on: February 13, 2023, 01:09:48 AM
I am kinda getting a weird vibe about you myself. I see the jackbit accusation from you and now betnomi. Maybe just a coincidence, maybe not. You might be a legit bettor but it's odd that both casinos are halting your wd.
I understand your skepticism, it's hard for me to prove myself as I am a new user here but I guess it's part of the struggles of being a legit bettor, having to use less and less reliable casinos as time goes on. The main reason why I joined this website was to find new crypto sportsbooks, which often comes with problems being paid out as those casinos don't have the same reputation as stake.com and co.

Betnomi and jackbit were the only ones I've had problems with so far, and this is the only place I know to write complaints that will be heard by the casino representatives.

actually, it doesn't matter whether you are a new user or an old user, as long as the evidence you provide can be clearly accounted for, there will be many users who will support you. You need to know that there are currently many gambling site competitors who use dirty tricks to bring down other gambling businesses (I'm not saying you).

We do have a KYC procedure in place, but there are triggered under specific conditions such as fraud, suspected under age user etc
But as a general rule, not something you should be concerned about unless you are engaging in activities that violate our ToS.
As far as VPN usage is concerned, some providers do have restrictions on users using VPN, etc we are all for preserving user's privacy
so long as you are not using it to evade the restricted country ban if online gambling is illegal in your country.
...

I personally don't mind KYC, because I realize I've done KYC on many sites (not only gambling sites but also exchanges and others) lol. but there are still many other users who are skeptical about KYC for various reasons, I think because your goal is to require KYC to be good then you don't need to change the obligation, but to apply KYC based on level, I think it can be considered.

Hi please forum mate am newbei and wanna invest my money on this decentrialised digital currency but don't know the right currency to invest my money on,and my question is which of the currency is good enough crypto or bitcoin,which one is more nice and quick to make profit,and i know for sure i will get full knowledge about it on this forum even if it will cost me.happiness in the family comes by when you are doing well,am on my adventure movement. Cry
please the crypto and bitcoin are they the same currency?

basically crypto can be interpreted as altcoins like ethereum - binance coin - ADA - polygon - tron or others, but bitcoin is a decentralized asset that was first created by the (pseudonymous) satoshi, the amount of bitcoin cannot be manipulated (added or subtracted) and it is very different from crypto (altcoins).

The only true decentralized cryptocurrency you will ever come across is Bitcoin. The rest are either just copycats or not really decentralized as they claim.

If you are looking to get rich quick, then you are in the wrong place. You will easily end up getting scammed chancing Ponzi schemes or scam coins. Getting rich require some degree of patience and effort. Anyone who tells you they can make you get rich overnight with minimal effort is a scammer.

this is a big mistake that is often made by beginners who invest in crypto, they believe that it will be the next bitcoin and can make you rich in 1 night in fact it is just a fantasy. only bitcoin is purely decentralized, the others (altcoins) are self-claimed only.

jadi ya omong kosong saja menurutku, menidng langsung ttanya ke google.

https://presensiku.id/blog/apa_sih_ai_artificial_intelligence

saya baru beberapa kali mengetes chatGPT dan saya rasa itu masih dalam tahapan pengembangan, seperti yang mas bilang bahwa jawaban yang di lontarkan oleh chatGPT tersebut terkensa seperti menasehati, sepertinya itu adlaha perintah yang i berikan pengemabng kepada produknya unutk menangani pertanyaan yang mungkin belum bisa di jawab atau di tuliskan ke dalam program chatGPT tersebut.

Teknologi yang lebih cepat mengarahkan ke sumber jawaban yang diperlukan sebenarnya tidak harus disebut pintar, karena setiap jawaban yang diberikan oleh teknologi AI pun juga berdasarkan atas apa yang telah di tulis oleh beberapa manusia lainnya di masa lalu atau sebelum teknologi AI lahir, meskipun akhir-akhir ini sudah sangat banyak pembahasan tentang teknologi AI yang membuat suasana seakan menjadi sangat terkejut. Padahal memakai google juga masih jauh lebih enak kalau keperluannya seputar mencari jawaban dari pertanyaan yang sederhana.

saya setuju dengan yang mas bilang bahwa menggunakan google jauh lebih enak, namun karena chatGPT masih hype2 nya dan juga merupakan hal yang masih baru, maka tidak bisa di katakan sebagai produk yang "pintar". masih banyak pengembangan dan juga program yang harus di masukkan pegembang ke dalam programnya chatGPT, seperti wikipedia yang terus di tulis oleh pengambangnya hingga saat ini, begitu juga untuk chatGPT.

For the football, I personally will not give any hope for Indonesia national team participation maybe they are failed in qualification again. However, if Indonesia can qualify, this will be a good achievement for coach Sin Tae Young. My greatest hope is Badminton. Hopefully Indonesia still has the talent of players to bring gold in Badminton, even i can dream Indonesia can win all categories in this sport.  Grin

as an Indonesian citizen.. Indonesian football team, I also fully support them, and I hope that Mr Erick Thohir (candidate for chairman of PSSI) is elected and can improve the quality of Indonesian football before the Paris Olympics starts. Besides badminton, Indonesia has also won gold medals in archery - rowing - surfing - weightlifting. badminton team!! they are my biggest hope for a gold medal later.

It is the Olympics already in summer 2024, that has come round fast. I mostly enjoy watching the athletics but I usually find myself bored, watching some really obscure sports. I have no doubt that Paris will put on a real festival of sport.

if you feel bored watching athletics, there are many other sports that you can enjoy at the Paris Olympics later. I'm sure, the Paris Olympics will be very successful.

...
Today, one of my passive interests pays more than my salary. My mind has been yearning for a resignation, but opinions of others and family bears the message of patience with the job I so much detest for reasons ranging from inflation to fear of the unknown.

If you were in my shoes, what would be the best advice you would give yourself and adhere to in this instance?

4 years in a job you hate so much? I'm sure your decision was driven by your closest family, but this is also what you have to understand, if a job you hate gives you a stable income and can make your immediate family happy, I think surviving is a wise choice. I'm sure you don't hate your job, you just hate your coworkers who might have a lot of drama.

You already said that you hate your job, I wouldn't stay in a job that I truly hate. I'll value more my mental health than it because it's going to bear more affection to myself than to my pocket.

Since you've got streams of income including passive income and it's earning more than your salary then you've got the answer.

Follow your peace, that's all you need.

haha, I am this type of person, my mental health is my priority. before becoming a full-time freelance and housekeeper, I was a gold broker, my boss gave our team unreasonable targets and my coworkers played a lot of drama for their personal gain, finally, after seeking permission from my partner to leave work, I immediately quit my workplace and toxic co-workers as soon as possible.
1836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 08, 2023, 02:11:01 AM
Real Madrid is so unpredictable in their matches recently, I don't know if the absence of Benzema is the cause of it. I don't think they have a place of winning the league this season because it is not going to be easy for them to catch up with Barca who is 8 points ahead of them. Barca are very strong and are very consistent with their winnings,which gives them more advantage to lift up the trophy. Real Madrid team should be worked on for them to be able to meet up the Barca or else they might end up losing Laliga and UCL.

madrid lost 1-0 to mallorca and the saddest thing is that madrid in this match could only make 1 "shot on target". without benzema, madrid's front line looks toothless but actually, Ancelotti is trying hard to make madrid's front line not depend on benzema because that's not good.

from the current performance between barcelona and madrid, I doubt Madrid will have the chance to win the la liga trophy but madrid still has the chance to win the champions league trophy - copa del rey and club world cup. madrid is the biggest and best team in the world, they always get at least 1 trophy every season.
1837  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: do not invest in crypto from loans. on: February 08, 2023, 01:45:40 AM
I heard that there were people who invested in crypto, and ended up buying crypto and their money from loans, but it's a shame they suffered losses because they invested in altcoins, but they lacked knowledge and lessons about crypto. but with this incident it made me think that investing in crypto should not result from loans because,,,
will make the mind uneasy, and always in the shadow of the deposit every month.

if you use borrowed money to buy altcoins in this category > no track record yet - reputation - use case - new project, then I guarantee 1000% you will lose.
First of all, even if you use your cold money, basic knowledge of what you are going to buy is very important because many people cannot tell the difference between bitcoin and altcoins and when they see the price of bitcoin, they choose altcoins whose prices are much lower due to lack of that understanding.

so in my opinion, don't invest from borrowed money because there will be potential losses, what do you think, do you agree with me?

I don't recommend borrowing money for crypto investments, but if you have the ability to pay in installments per month, why not give it a try? some time ago I managed to buy bitcoin at $17k with borrowed money and now if I sell, I am already profitable but I have no intention because I intend to pay in installments from my side income.
1838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 08, 2023, 01:20:56 AM
3-0 was final result from juventus against salernitana. Salernitana was an easy opponent. This is also the easiest match to predict. Juventus can only try to win any match until the end of season to make sure if can go up again to the top 5. Napoli will be locking the serie a trophy soon. Salernitana is nothing for juventus. Juventus fans were so happy with the result against salernitana. That means juventus is still having a chance to enter into the top positions as long as the team consistently wins the game until the end of season.

the "ball possession" in this match is almost balanced but Juventus has more pressure on Salernitana. lucky for juventus because vlahovic played amazingly (he managed to give 2 goals and 1 assist). if Juventus continue to get positive results like this then the chance for Juventus to return to the top 5 by the end of this season is wide open.

Allegri was also saying if he can only put 40 points as target for juventus at the end of season.

40 points? it's not a difficult target for juventus and Allegri because just now they have managed to get 26 points, but it seems that Allegri is humble in this regard because Juventus will definitely get more than 40 points later.

There are four replay matches in FA Cup today after they played draw results last round, and one match Sunderlnad vs Fulham is played on February 8.
I see good opportunity for betting in today matches:

Burnley - Ipswich
Fleetwood - Sheffield Wed
Grimsby - Luton
Sheffield Utd - Wrexhan
Sunderland - Fulham

- burnley managed to win 2-1.
- fleetwood narrowly won 1-0.
- grimsby town won big 3-0.
- while Sheffield managed to win 3-1 and all their goals came in the second half.

- while Sunderland vs Fulham (the last match in the 4th round) will take place later, as host, Sunderland will not let Fulham win easily. based on the head-to-head of the two teams, it seems that Sunderland and Fulham have the same percentage of wins, I think this match will end in a draw.

Ya meskipun member SFI sepertinya tidak akan membiarkan hal tersebut terjadi. Namun, kira-kira kalau sub board baru ternyata benar-benar sepi topik, apakah ada hukuman buat moderator dan member SFI?

kalo sepi sih itu masih spekulasi aja mas karena belum benar benar terealisasikan namun saya pribadi setuju dengan penambahan subboard lokal indonesia karena di sub board iduk, seperti nya banyak yang campur sari dan banyak pasti nya yang suka dengan postingan politik indonesia namun tidak ada board yang mendukung.
