You are the one that celebrated the real Valentine. Most people give because they expect something from the receiver. But from the picture, I can tell that these women are not wealthy and they cannot pay you back for these kind gestures. $20 can feed a family of five for one week in the rural communities in m country. You have done well brother. Keep doing good because one day your reward will come.

But I have observed that all the pictures posted in this forum are either blurred or covered keeping the people's identities private. Maybe you could do the same thing to hide the identity of the people.

There is this saying a hungry man is an angry man. There might be other factors that contribute to insecurity in our society but all revolves around hunger. When one is hungry the can do the unthinkable just for survival. It is also proven that people tend to fall for peer pressure, environmental and societal pressure more when the cannot afford their basic amenities.

One can endure bad governance, unemployment and inflation but when it comes to hunger one can engage in diverse criminal act just to survive. Out of the numerous factors that can push people into criminal acts hunger has the highest reasons. Everyone wants to survive in a society where hunger persist and it is either done by a trick or by crook or by a legal way.
Even the Holy Bible acknowaedgles crime ignited by hunger and stipulates lesser punishment. An hungry man can loose his sense of reasoning. I would not blame a man that steals because he is hunger. If a thief come to someones house and goes straight to the kitchen and start eating and packing food, I dont think it will be ideal to call the cops if he does that without harming anybody.
Hunger might not be the only reason for insecurity because other factors like greed also contributes, but it is one of the main cause of insecurity. This is why most countries that experience a high rate of crime is likely suffering from unemployment and hunger.
1903  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People will choose bitcoins more if the number of cryptocurrency option is less. on: February 15, 2023, 02:59:23 PM
I felt like seeing a movie and opened my streaming app (Netflix) to make a selection of a movie to see and I became confused which to select because of the many choices that I saw. I immediately had this thought that it is the same way people who have an interest in investing in cryptocurrency become confused about the one to invest in when they find out that there is bitcoin and many other altcoins. Many people become confused and make mistakes because of the many options they have in cryptocurrency, they fail to invest in bitcoins because they think that there are many other very good options. Do you agree that more people will choose to invest in bitcoins if there were not so many cryptocurrency choices although not all are good?
Another problem is that people are confused about the term cryptocurrency. They usually assume that every coin in the crypto market is okay. Some of them don't know the difference between bitcoin and other coins. Due to the longevity and influnce of bicoin they think that buying any other coin will give the same result as bitcoin. I agree that having fewer coin will promote bitcoin adoption but nobody can stop these fakecoiners to stop rolling out more shitcoins.

Anyone who doesn't have basic knowledge of geography and geology may believe such nonsense. Throughout history there have been and there will be earthquakes in that region.
Other political bullshit has no basis, but some people love conspiracy theories. I sometimes read stuff like this for fun. In this case, there is nothing to laugh about though. There was a great natural disaster. The impact of this disaster was so big because the authorities didn't listen to the warnings of the scientists. Now we need to heal these wounds and fix the mistakes of politicians. No one has time to waste with such empty conspiracy theories. You can continue to believe nonsense by looking at them in your comfortable location outside the earthquake zone.

People always find reasons to speak badly about others. The question is if the US is punishing Turkey for its support for Russia what is the crime of the rebel-controlled northwest area? These areas are friendly with the US and its allies, so what happened? I know they would say they were also targeted to avoid suspicion. All these conspiracy theories are open lies. Everyone knows that Turkey is sitting in an area prone to earthquakes and it is not the first time it is happening. People should stop using such tragic event to scare cheap political points.

I am a 47 year old person, about 10 days ago I created a topic, namely: can a 47 year old person invest in bitcoin?

and today i feel happy because i look at the market and when i see the price of bitcoin it turns out that there is a good increase in price. and at that time I bought it at a price range of 17000 and now I see a price range of 20000.
and I feel happy because I haven't look at the market in a long time, suddenly the price of bitcoin has gone up, and the most meritorious thing that made me invest is because of my friends in this forum who give me encouragement and support.

and I want to thank you all.

and at the same time I have advice for people who are the same age as me or older than me, don't give up investing because of age, because age is God's secret.

  bitcointalk.org is a good and useful discussion forum.
This forum is indeed a blessing to me because I have learned a lot from here. Before now I have been deceived by so many crypto organizations. Some of them will showcase the crypto sector as a place to get rich instantly. But my presence in this forum has made me understand more about bitcoin as a medium of exchange and investment. Now nobody can deceive me again because I can find almost all the information I need about Bitcoin in bitcointalk.
1906  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can this forum be targetted? on: February 09, 2023, 01:54:23 AM
With a strategy to stop the growth of bitcoins by reducing the community behind it, Is it possible that the government (say a collective effort by them all) target bitcointalk since it is the largest community bitcoin has(I think), to stop the activities of forum members from staying together to ensure that this community is disbanded?
Nations that are not comfortable with Bitcoin might want to reduce the influence of bitcoin through misinformation. They can assign their agents to register as members and use the opportunity it spread false information in the forum. They might also use hacking or cyberattack to try to attack the forum. But the forum is a well-managed platform that can withstand these threads by external forces. Bitcoin awareness is growing thereby making the population of the community experience constant growth.

Your story makes me remember that this is why I believe that free Education and free Healthcare are some of the essential pillars that one society should have their foundations on. To imagine the costs that you'll endure (and you family) during this period of your life is something that I can't really imagine being myself an European... I honestly wasn't aware of your situation but icopress directed me here and while I know it's not much, I'll be donating some funds over to your BTC address (or let me say @1miau will eventually (Thank you again!)) and I'm also running a charity auction[1] whose funds will be directed sent over to your address.

I really hope that everything goes well with the procedure and do let us know whenever you're in a safer zone regarding your health!

Thank you for these kind gestures. Selfless giving is lacking in our society these days because people are too selfish. I want to commend your heart for giving and the auction you are organizing to assist our friend. Just hoping that yahoo will soon be fine and back on his feet again. We just hope that our educational and health sector will be more effective and cheaper so that people can have access to quality an affordable healthcare.

Also, I believe ppl are right; you provided a loan to your own alt since both of your account's writing style looks so much similar. Even an untrained kid can catch you here. Why not put your skills and money into something good ?

1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 07, 2023, 02:57:09 PM
Lazio has missed another chance of pushing through to the 3rd position in the standing . Having no on-target attempt through out the second half of the game really does show that They didn't only draw the match against Verona, but they struggled to have a draw in the match. Just 1 win in their last 4 matches. I wonder how okay Lazio could be with  1 point ahead of Atalanta and AC Milan who are fighting so hard to have a permanent position in the top 4.

Verona showed a lot of improvement in this game because they really played more than Lazio. Verona would have won the match because some of their attempts were either saved by the Lazio goalkeeper and others hit the woodwork. Lazio must work on their team if they want to be more competitive this season. It also good to see Ngonge score that wonderful goal. This young lad was so excited to score, hope he would get more goals before the season ends. Verona deserves all the praise and it was clear that they appreciated the win. Napoli is unstable, for now no team can stop them from winning the trophy this season.
1910  Economy / Reputation / Re: SBF-Ross Ulbricht on: February 07, 2023, 02:41:32 PM
This should be the case but we know how slow the justice system there that's why this two guys still can live an easy life outside even if they have to many cases due to what criminal actions they do. But since they create a huge crime possibly this will prosper since many eyes are following this case and provably the authority handling this case is been watch on how they handle this case since many people are watching on how they can get a justice on what SBF and Ulbricht done to them.

This two criminals is important to fell down in jail because it will give justice and satisfaction to their victims.
Ulbricht is already serving a life jail term in in the US, while SBF is still going through legal proceedings until he is found guilty. But Ulbricht didn't scam anybody he just created an illegal platform that people voluntarily join. But SBF used different advertisement strategy which includes expensive endorsement and promotion deals with different celebrities with the intention of attracting people and using their funds for personal use. Both of them acted against the law but I think SBF deserves harsher punishment.
1911  Economy / Economics / Re: Jamie Dimon and big-company CEOs receive pay cuts amid an economic slowdown on: February 07, 2023, 02:13:14 PM
Have CEO pay cuts been long overdue? Is this a legitimate step towards wealth and wage equality, which many have called for? While current economic and financial conditions may not be ideal? Perhaps there is a good potential here for real and lasting reforms, which could help to balance the global economy?
For a long time now it is workers have been bearing the burden of failed businesses. These CEO are earning skyrocketed wages and salaries while workers are receiving peanuts yet they are the first hit. Some top executive prefer to sack workers or cut thier earnings because they want to still maintain thier luxuries lifestyle. But the above news is a welcomed development because they are beginning to understand that these workers are humans with families and responsibilities. Although wealth and wages equity can never be achieved but this is a step on the right direction.

Binance Will Temporarily Suspend US Dollar Bank Transfers starting from Wednesday

Source:
https://decrypt.co/120678/binance-suspends-us-dollar-bank-transfers

Though its no something major in terms of revenue and userbase of Binance USA clients as said by them ,

Is this something indicative according to you...

Does it has to do with SEC being investigating all the Binance activities in regards to involved in some kind of illicit activities..

Share your opinion..
The only issue I have with this news is that Binance didn't give any reason for this suspension. They would have told their customers the reason but everyone is suspecting an SEC investigation. There are also speculations that it was because of the company's faceoff with a leading banking partner. But the number of customers affected according to the exchange firm is insignificant, maybe 0.01%. Most Binance operations are still available and this news only affects customers in the US.  I don't think it is a major threat.

For Bible believers, All sin are equal in the sight of God. And in our normal society no one is above the law, So if someone has committed an offense that is punishable by law, be it killing, armed robbery, cyber crimes or Fraudulent practices and in one way or the other be a sponsor to such things, Then if found guilty the offender should go face the law and if it involves going to the prison or jail, the person should be there to learn some lessons. The bottom line is wether SBF, Ross Ulbricht no one is above the law and both should go to prison if found guilty of their acts.
Everyone is equal before the law but some people can be specially treated by the law. The law is unbendable but the humans that interpret and enforce the law can be manipulated. Don't forget tht SBF donated both to the Republicans and Democrats and his parents are highly connected. All these facts can influence the judgement which might lead to a short sentence or long sentence with paroles. Ross Ulbricht was just a commoner that wanted to promote privacy but he did that for the underworld making his business immoral. He is not also politically connected and this led to a very harsh punishment.
1915  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your college degree means that you are not educated. on: February 05, 2023, 06:56:44 PM
I was a mathematics professor, and as a professor, I must regard colleges are extremely unprofessional institutions that not only promote violence against me but also refuse to acknowledge that they are the problem. The only proper response to this situation is for people to collectively regard college degrees as very bad and college graduates as uneducated. The only thing that will get me to change my opinion about these wretched institutions is for the institutions to acknowledge that there is a problem and take steps to solve this problem.

-Joseph Van Name Ph.D.

With all due respect professor, the reason why people should disregard university degree or qualifications is because they promote or promoted violence against you. Don't you think it's a selfish request? Your case should be used to generalize about universities all over the world. You have not also told us what transpired between the university and you that let to the violence allegation. For me universities are institutions that teach educands specific or general skills that could help them to be productive and law abiding. Although there are some of them that promote other negative vices based on the educational goals of the country.
1916  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ukrainian troops are KIDNAPPING ethnic Hungarians to make soldiers out of them on: February 05, 2023, 06:43:17 PM
kidnapping isn't going to work. if they are kidnapped, they will just shoot the Ukrainian kidnappers once they are given arms.
but i think offering a large sum will make the ethnic groups consider. Zelenskyy has money printers.

they need more people to join though, there are even reports in the early days of the war that they are gathering Talibans, and Pakistanis that the US had trained during their stay in Pakistan are sent to Ukraine to join the war. but this news was not verified. maybe true maybe they are not. there were interviews of the British armies going back home though.

There is also a propaganda war going on between Russia and Ukraine and thier Allies. Sometimes you hear news that turn out to be lies from these two warring parties. It was widely publicized that Russian Naval force killed all the Ukrainian soldiers stationed at Snakes Island but it turned out to be false. You can't forcefully push people to war and expect them to wilfully fight for you. Most of them will end up becoming saboteurs. I suggest both parties respect the global war laws and I am sure it prohibited forced conscription.

He is correct, the benefits of cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin is greater than the disadvantages. China is not a democratic nation that is why we shouldn't expect much from this comments because the decision on the communist party definitely supercede the voice of the people. China might consider unbanning cryptocurrencies maybe if they want to help Russia and Iran to invade sanctions.

Quote from: Mate2237
Mallorca 1 - 0 Real Madrid
I was shocked when I saw the replay match between Mallorca vs Real Madrid. If a prophet told me that Mallorca would win Real Madrid in that match I would not believed him. Even in the match Real Madrid dominated the game. Luck was not by their side that was why they loss out from the game.
Real Madrid find it difficult to win the game today because, the tactics Mallorca players were using from the beginning of the game made Real Madrid players to lose control for their opponent to achieved the victory. I guess, Real Madrid coach need to replace some players before the end of this tournament so that there will be hope for them to improve higher in this season.
Real Mallorca showed a lot of courage. Most teams would have played defensive because of the attacking powerhouse of Real Madrid. But they came out and played the game and created so much goal scoring opportunities. Nacho's own goal was an uncommon header that can rattle any goalkeeper. Real Madrid might not win the La Liga this season until they get a good replacement for Karim.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 05, 2023, 05:33:00 PM
Another easy victory for Napoli, which had no problems at Spezia. AC Milan has dropped significantly in the ranking. Tonight Inter and AC Milan play against each other. Should Inter lose that, the lead of leader Napoli over the number 2 is no less than 16 points. Have we seen that in this competition in recent years? Last year it was exciting until the very last round, that will not be the case this year. With the current standings, Napoli is even the new champion 5 rounds before the end of the competition. Somewhere it is inexplicable why this team is so strong this season.
Napoli continues to show its existence that they are ready to win the Scudetto title this season, and today they managed to add 3 points to their collection again. Yes, the derby match will really determine whether Napoli's points gain with Inter Milan will widen again or not. It will also not be easy for Inter Milan to win this derby match because we know AC Milan is also a formidable team that cannot be beaten just like that even though their performance is declining.
Spezia did not disappoint but they wasted all thier opportunities. Their attack lack coordination, instead of teamwork players wanted to score alone. Victor Osimhen is a goal merchant, he plays like Gabriel Batistuta the Argentina potcher. Napoli is simply unstoppable and it is clear that they will be the Serial A champions.
