One bitter-sweet way to save newbies from scams in the "crypto verse" is to let them learn from a first hand experience of being victim of a scam. Many may disagree on this ideology as been illogical but we all know that when you get a fire burn experience on maybe one of your toe or finger, when you see anything that looks like fire yiu will be the very first to escalate, avoid or distance yourself before anyone else would it.  And OP haven falling a victim of scam has a better understanding than anyone else around him, of the benefits of avoiding any social media, YouTube or online platforms with enticing crypto giveaways.  So at times it's a good thing learning through the hard way as it may save us from bigger victimization in the future.
The easier ways to learn:
1. From other people's experience story.

2. Always ask questions on things you lack understanding about, don't be too quick to engage (FOMO).

3.Stay away from greed as crypto and greed don't go well together.

Well Yes! Your prayers did came true as Arsenal are currently back to the top of the table but very well not for long as their closest rival Manchester City are closing up with them edge to edge with a two outstanding matches yet to be played. Chelsea we know have had a very bad season for the past months and currently with a coach that have lost five of his games making it six for tonight's game against arsenal, so the victory for arsenal in tonight's game was expected.

Two points ain't enough to keep City away from lifting the EPL trophy this season back to back. So therefore, arsenal should should forget on winning the EPL this season as their hopes on winning it was dashed right from their three consecutive draws thereby dropping points to the advantage of City.

I may not from Hawaii but I know about the game you're talking about. It's an interesting game no doubt but it's kind of viewed as a child's game and as such crypto enthusiasts of matured minds wouldn't gain interest in expending their time and money on it and that's why you just haven't seen it on any crypto casinos, cause they understand it won't give them the kind of market they need. In other words, it wouldn't be good for market.  So OP, stick to the ones you have over there in Hawaii and play it for fun not more nothing less.

The market volatility that played out this past days is psychologically related. What I mean by this is that, just like the bitcoin price drop down to $26,942 on 23-04-2023 and later pulled up to $30,036 within a few time. This action  action by the market price must have triggered some fears in the minds of many trading during the price fall, especially for those that  might have bought when bitcoin price was  $19k - $20k around March, and seeing price going down again after some few rising, out of fear some might have been forced to close their trade within the little profit position to take a little profit.

And that's exactly what the  market wanted. The volatility is just a test of the strength of the market psychology of many traders. A technical way to make more profit in such situation is to DCA,  and that was exact action I took immediately I observed a double bottom chart forming, because the volatility from my observation is a positive sign on the market price.

For a 100 times I have being to the mall I can say I have for 80 times bought a few more items I never budgeted for before going for shopping. And that's because my debit is handy,  but you don't expect me trade my convenience for the sake of the believe that I might save more if I have to go with cash at hand instead of my card.

There certain times that having the card could be a life saver where your cash is exhausted and you just remembered you needed to get something very needful at home.  One just have to discipline himself to spend based on scale of preference be it with cash or card. Simple.
Practically disagree with this part as there's no way you can't have knowledge of your password or card number offhand. No way, except there's a memory problem somewhere.

Shopping with a list is another wonderful form of mitigating unnecessary purchases items in the market. It's like a roadmap, a route already set to be followed and digressing becomes a bit difficult except in rare cases.

Gambling is an art that's meant to be followed with pure discipline and self set rules of limitations without which a gambler is bond to take up any act to making sure he or she stays in the game no matter the consequences that may follow from such action. Primarily when a gambler lacks a discipline in himself towards gambling habit then he is heading forward to addiction and the resultant effect is such as this one with the case of kidnapping to raise funds as to keep up with the gambling addiction.

As gamblers we should learn how to express ourselves to our close trusted friends and relations on what we're passing through indulging in gambling as this can be helpful when we learn to share a struggling addictive lifestyle before it gets worsen.

The type of alternative you're looking for in supplant of stakes depends on the features you are looking forward from any other platform. Like do you need an alternate that has a sport betting plus casino games platform or you're looking for something with just casino games or much more than that. Reasons is that almost all the gambling platforms provides same gambling services with a bit of a little difference in their features, except for security, KYC (privacy), better odds, and reputation that makes the much difference.

Simply put, mining could be described as a process of verifying transactions on a proof of work blockchain and creation of coins through some mathematical puzzle with the use of special computers. And it's advisable to use ASIC miners for your mining https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3469416.0
To get a more rich explanations in additions to the ones other members have given, I'll recommend you move your thread to mining board.

For the past three years Manchester City has been dominating the EPL and the EPL it's likely going to the way of the "farmer league" as a result of this continuous dominance over the years, and it really doesn't show competitiveness as we obvious know of the EPL title contenders within the top four teams.

And my contention is that if they are that strong enough then they should win the champions league as anything short of that,  simply implies that the other clubs in the EPL ain't good enough as we think them to be

Poker is like a game of chance, whoever has the best hands on the table is predicated to winning the game. And ChatGPT can't possibly pick or be in the knowing of which cards in particular shall fall in the hands of either of any player, except the game is manipulative.

In my opinion, using Chat GPT in poker is assume to be another form of collusion (cheating) which is yet to be viewed same way by others. But I don't see in any way AI is going to outsmart human intelligence even though they're believed to makes tasks easier and fast achieved.

In the first place you guys shouldn't have merged into Russian board knowing some day you would be requesting for your own Ukrainian board. Having Ukrainian participating actively in Russia local board eliminates any need to create a Ukraine owned local board.

Like what is the possibility that if given the board at this moment that almost all Ukrainians actively participating in Russia board instead of your local thread would wanna resort to using the local board when currently they aren't showing convincing participation in your local thread but rather flooding that of Russia. Have you considered the activeness of Pakistans in their local thread and others compared to that of Ukraine but are yet to have a local child board of theirs.

Am not against anyone requesting for a local board but from your statement it's obvious your idea was borne out due to the ongoing war between the two warring countries. And we're hopeful this war is going to end very soon for normalcy to take it's course. But then the war shouldn't be a locus point why you should be demanding a local board of yours. When the timing is ripe am sure @Theymos in his discretion would definitely see to it's ratification.

There's flinching nuance that makes the difference between trading and investment, and this nuance is only but a function of time. Mainly when you hear someone telling you he's trading, what comes to mind is that it's just something of a matter of few minutes, hours or at most few days stuff, but unlike investment, immediately you hear the word the first thing that comes to mind is long-term plan. So there's a difference in time set between the two but still they both demand strategy, analysis and experience all for profit making.For anyone to choose to trading or investment, it all depends on what their prospect seems like.

Despite the advantages that follows, newbies at trading shouldn't be advised to take on short term investment or trades on any cryptocurrency's but a long term investment will be fine at the moment while you take much time to keep yourself abreast with every techniques regarding with crypto trading.  You may ask, Why start with long-term investment plan? That's because it doesn't need a broad knowledge to start, you just buy and hold patiently for longer period of a year or more as the case may be, without having to deal with technicalities as in the case with short term ( minutes, days, hours or a week's).

If anyone want to take on a long term investment plan it should be on a coin you're confident about and not just a random coin as most alts don't even survive a year before going extinct, so to be on the safe side bitcoin is most preferable for longer investment.

I see you're worried about your friend and you fear he might end up having series of losses and a blown account and which you don't want to have it blamed on you. It's an evidence of a good conscience you possess but the truth is that you ain't doing anything wrong at the moment. You have told him in clear term about the risks involved and he still persist in wanting to learn how to trade. So take him onboard, I believe his interest will drive him to be a good trader eventually.

 My candid advise to you is to make sure to also make it clear to your friend not to put into trading an amount he can't afford to lose. In this way since it's inevitable he  may make losses in the beginning he would only have to consider those losses as part of an experience in his trading journey and wouldn't be affected psychologically by the losses.

You talk about using binance for your trading, hope you understand binance is a centralized exchange and it's risking leaving your money their especially in periods you ain't trading. Why not create a non-custodial wallet where you would have your money stored there only to use it on binance when trading and a return to your wallet after being done with your trade. It's important. I'll want to use this opportunity to introduce to you AgoraDesk, a no KYC exchange platform for your convenience and privacy. You might want to give it a try.

This story would have been more convenient if you had use your own personal money only in taking up such bitcoin investment plan, as it's never a wise or advisable idea to take up loan to finance bitcoin investment.

The two years investment plan you have put in mind to keep hoping to get back between 100% - 500% profit is under probability to come through, this is because the market is a volatile one and there's a possibility that the market may experience a bad moment by then. In such situation what then is your contingency plan in repaying your loans?

It's not about being develop or underdevelop as a country or people, it's about the kind of leaders a country have as leaders in government. In the case of Nigeria I perceive a system of deliberate negligence on the people by the government, a situation where the government through the use of legitimate force barring all form of technological source of empowerment such like the cryptocurrency innovation to the timid youths. This act is meant to keep the youths broke, hunger for the scrumps that may fall off from their tables, thereby continuously acting as stooges and rubber stamp tools for their political ambitions.

Hence, should the timid youths have a much means if generating incomes with the free use of cryptocurrency it then pose as a threat to their stronghold on them. This among others are the underlying local factors and sentiment the engulf the whole situation.

You're technically not far from the truth. Interest is what drives everyone to go at any length to be good at what they got an eye on.  I remember as a child growing up I developed so much interest in football due to the team I got an eye on as a fan, to the extent my interest made me to take it upon myself to know all the names of the  first eleven players of the football club I was fanning and more. All of this was possible even without having access to satellite ditch in our home as at then. Cause there was a burning interest.

So OP need to have a burning interest about what he seeks and with no time he would be soaked into the knowledge of that very sports. More so, he should get closer to his relative by visiting more often as he can easily get vital and better understanding informations from there too.
