We are almost the same situation before but you are more rich and money.  I only want to party hard every day without thinking of the future. I was hospitalized at that time because I was drinking too much. That was ive done before as i am earning enough from bitcoin but thinking it right now i am not thinking it in bad side , it is just the life experience those on me as i cant do it right now as i do have family.  Don't regret it, as it was done well for you and you can't get those days back.

~snip~
My question is can someone who is not well educated (secondary school graduate) understand the statistics of bitcoin investment or Bitcoin trading?

Bitcoin trading or investing is not based on how well your education is, even old people with their bachelor's degrees can't compare to those who trading bitcoin for years. If you want to learn about BItcoin it's better to start now and learn something small day by day along with your native education.
Trading is a skill that you can learn on the internet, as we can find tutorials online. There is no need to get into school, no matter how old you are, and all you need is determination and effort to get those. Though others will try to go to school to learn more as there are sometimes tutorials online that are too broad, they will try to learn more in school, but others also are going to have experience to help them learn more.

When we talk about the Ukraine and Russia war, only Russia has benefits from it as they can gain land, but for Ukraine, they are fighting for freedom. Also in war, the only thing that can benefit is the business of weaponry dealers like those who will make tanks, arm weapons, and anything else that was used in war because the demand is increasing, so they will make and make until the end of the war, meaning they are getting money from those countries on war. We normal people are affected by it, and we can't stop it on our own.
1944  Economy / Economics / Re: How we survive food shortages on: March 04, 2023, 02:00:58 PM
A very dark topic, but this is indeed the reality that is happening in underdeveloped countries and if you have read articles or seen on YouTube, one of them is Burundi. Small country with a high poverty rate.

When we talk about climate change and extreme weather, we cannot avoid it. But for some developed countries there must be a solution for that, for example gardening with the help of technology that can manipulate the weather.

But the problem is, how can these poor countries find solutions for themselves? I think the most appropriate step is for developed countries or rich countries to provide assistance to poor countries. Because poor countries have almost no way to solve their hunger problem because the economic circulation there is very limited, the exchange rate is low, and the wages of workers are also low.

The only solution for climate change is when we work together. Your solution for rich countries to counter it is only working for them but it is only small changes for climate change. No matter how rich or poor the country if  we work together like dont burn plastic or dont use it, proper wage disposal and mostly reduce gas emmision then we could definitely solve the problem but now it is close to impossible that is why those NGO and other volunteers are trying to plant trees on daily basis just to help the mother earth

It is kind  of normal update and nothing more fancy on it but anyways congratulations on it i hope you still continue to accumulate it and  hold it until you die(I know it is just personification) but dont forget to spend it to treat your self or your store .

You have a very imaginative mind and want to implement things so it would be better to hire a developer which is project base or really hire them daily to do the task  as there are a lot of things you need to implement and also you want a unique casino to hiring a developer rather than buying script is better. Also you should make sure you have enough budget as you know putting casino and running one needs enough budget unless it is already gambler playing on it.
1947  Economy / Economics / Re: My survival strategies in this harsh economic conditions on: March 04, 2023, 10:38:58 AM
You forget to add/ or have you considered doing side jobs for extra income.  Investment is a good thing but it will take some time to yield profit, a regular one takes years so what would we do to meet our daily needs if our main job is enough for bills and basic needs.  Finding a side job plays an important role to meet our plans and ease out the situation especially if we plan to have savings for investment.
We could add this but it wont work on us all meaning other people tend have hard time finding side jobs even if they want too like they don't posses those skills need or just they cant find one as most of those employers wants fulltime. Also even though you have side jobs but still not enough then you need to follow those strategy by OP provided to save some money and that is the possibility that youll invest into something.
1948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the easiest way to explain bitcoin to a regular person? on: March 04, 2023, 09:35:19 AM
I think there's a huge leap right there. I mean, you're trying to explain Bitcoin to a regular person and you are already talking about investment and 1 full Bitcoin and repeat purchase. I don't think that's how Bitcoin should be presented to somebody who is yet to learn about it. I guess it has to start with the very basic, that Bitcoin is an electronic cash, that it uses a decentralized blockchain, no owner, no president or CEO or whatever, that it could be fully owned, can't be censored, that transactions are transparent and could be verified by anybody, and so on.
I strongly agree on this. People should not be taught first about how to invest in bitcoin especially if they have no knowledge about bitcoin. They should go with the basics first and that unlike fiat, with bitcoin they can be their own bank without the existence of a third party. And then teach them the purpose of bitcoin and how it should be deal with. Otherwise, if you teach a regular person about bitcoin investment, he will surely go for it without enough information and knowledge about bitcoin.

People are mostly listening to others mostly regarding the hype which they usually jump on and not conducting their own research this is the time if got unlucky lose their funds. Mostly if they heard testimony that they've earn profit they will then think that they can earn the same which is not true as we do have our own strategy as well as time when we bought it Always end the conversation to someone about the risk and you need to learn more as it is just a tip of the iceberg you explained to them
1949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in Bitcoin by selling wife's jewelry on: March 04, 2023, 08:15:10 AM


We know gold is very precious metal, but Bitcoin is much more expensive than gold. Bitcoin will cross $100k after halving in 2024 ie if I invest $3000 in Bitcoin now then there is a chance of getting 10x after 2024. If I get $30000 from investing $3000, nothing can be as valuable as Bitcoin. I explained this formula to my wife at night and she was not willing to give me her jewelery at first but today she told me by herself that you can sell my jewelery and invest in Bitcoin. At present I am forced to sell my wife's jewelery as I have no fiat money.
I seek advice from expert investors/holders/users of this forum,,,,
whether selling my wife's jewelery and investing on bitcoins makes sense?
Is it reasonable to invest in gold rather than bitcoin?
OP if you can take risk you will definitely see success. The decision you made doesn't seem to be a bad one at all. We know Bitcoin will halve in 2024 and Bitcoin price is likely to go from $100,000 to $200,000 by 2024-2025. If so, you may be at high risk. Never worry about your profit or loss after investing. Remember you must wait until 2024.

You are too confident. What if this is the first time in halving that the price wont hit ATH ? then it was opposite can he able to manage the losses ? In investing you should be aware of the risk and the possibility that you lose it but if you can accept it then its good as it is part of investing. I myself even i know the risk i still invest which the amount that can i afford because i have a high hope for Bitcoin. So selling the jewelry might be a good idea as long as you know the risk.
1950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: March 04, 2023, 07:29:15 AM
Bettors has to keep record of success made so far by them in betting such records will motivate such individual to continue that's if success is recorded also they should keep records of loss made this will make them to choose which way to follow is either to quit or continue but is good to note that this approach is not applicable to an addict whose purpose for betting is to satisfy him or herself urge.

Even if i don't record my wins and losses for sure i do have more loses so i won't be recording it as it can't motivate my self since i do gamble for fun. I am just amazed on those people who are recording their winning and losses as they keep tracking on their expenses it is like trading journal. I am really lazy on doing this but it is really nice to have records on this as you can check it time to time.
1951  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you have any financial regrets ? on: March 04, 2023, 06:36:38 AM

Life is about choices and we all are on the path led by our choices. It's not easy to talk about life regrets in general because we are/were in quite different situations. To make this thread easier, we just focus on the regrets in finances. I believe many of them can be lessons to learn from. I'll start first. Over a decade ago, I was living in a mega city of my country. At the time, the city was already a metropolitan place where you can meet all people over the world. Of course, the land was scarce and the price of housing was pretty high, nomal people could not afford to buy an apartment, let alone a house. However, one friend of mine was taking to a suburban area for an apartment, super nice but the neighborhood was not fully developed yet. The total cost of that departemtn was about $100,000. Well, I did not have that much money at that time but if I borrowed some from my parents and it was not a problem. Maybe because I was too young and did not get along with my parents at the time, I did not ask for that so I refused the offer and let go of that apartment. A few years later, the suburban area became part of the CBD and the housing price was going up insanely. Today, that apartment I missed is worth at least $1.2 million. Oh my... I hate myself for not buying that apartment every time I think about it.
I think there are lots of people who have the same fate as you. It's not just about apartments, but other problems.
I think it's not a mistake, but you're just out of luck.
don't regret too much, just make it a lesson to be better in the future and be able to see and measure every potential that exists.

Regrets should be our motivation as it is like a lesson to us that we need to do it and not to commit those mistake again. If you stay on regrets and just imagining it and having what ifs then you cant achieved it. It doesn't mean that you regret it as the price is higher right now doesn't mean you cant afford it now. Work hard even if the price is high to purchase it. Like Bitcoin a lot of us regret not buying early but now they are working hard to own one even if the price is high
1952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The fruit of greed is never good,, on: March 04, 2023, 04:33:35 AM

It happens, most of the time loss happens out of gambling. Newbies used to experience these kind of losses going through spam links that shouldn't be used. In the past it was multiplier schemes and I too became a victim of it. It request to install a software, at the bottom users withdrawal of multiplied amount transaction runs. Looking upon this believed and send small amount and I wasn't able to multiply. Later understood my mistake, so it is must to be very careful being on the crypto market.
Yes and I don't think it is really wise of us to attribute such an incident to greed because from ops' own point of view, his friend git hacked because he was greedy to have wanted to participate in the airdrop, but the fact is that most of us here have had a similar experience as a newbie and even high-rank member have also become a victim as some point before making wallet security their top priority.

-Don't connect your wallet to any platform for whatever reason, and never let out your sensitive information, most hackers work with information their collect over time by monitoring the activities of the owner before they will finally strike when the wallet owner least expected it.
As everything happens online we won't be able to do anything once we've lost our funds. So, it is good to keep things in a much secure way. Whenever you get to follow a link please check the source from which you've received it. If it is from a trusted service or from a known person. Later choose to open it or not, nowadays it is the much preferred way for the hackers.

When you get hack d and scammed online it is really difficult to retrieve back the money because you cant easily track them unless you report it to the police and they will try to investigate on it but again this will take time mostly if you are in third world country that is why we need to be careful online be cautious and learn how to keep safe our wallet and our selves online so that we can prevent this. Though requires effort if you want to be safe then you need to follow those important tips for getting safe from hacking
1953  Economy / Economics / Re: Benefit from Higher Education? on: March 04, 2023, 03:05:02 AM
nowadays many we find successful entrepreneurs but they do not have higher education but the experience they get is already so great that all the opportunities that exist they can face well, but higher education is also very beneficial for every entrepreneur in their respective business fields And the knowledge they get can reach the highest point, if we dare to do a business then without higher education we can face all things so  It all depends on our beliefs in running a business, and most importantly we have a vision and mission in running a business so that everything we want can be achieved.
This might be a hard way to find success in your business but its really possible, having no higher education should not prevent you from making big dreams and achieving it, most probably this is where you exert more effort just to achieve your goals. Having a higher education can also be a big help especially if you know how to use it. Again, your success will always depend on your determination and not just about your educational background so don’t get limited by people around you.

As long as you exert a lot of effort and at the same time doing research to learn you could be successful. It is just if you have a degree it is simpler than without but it doesn't mean that you'll now be successful that is why others fail because of lacking of determination on it and they quit. Just dont be discouraged if you dont have education as once your business will be successful you will now have funds to attend business to improve your knowledge
1954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Willing to invest on bitcoin but having some challenges. on: March 03, 2023, 05:29:20 PM
Good evening everyone, here in my place the time is 22:33 pm.
I want to share about the position I am in right now.

I live in an iland called MINAMA, over here there is no electricity, major road, or boreholes we all use the water from the river and it's affecting us, but that's not my problem,  my problem is I'm not always online on this forum because there is no light and no were to charge my cellphone so I always manage my battery. The only place am charging my phone is my neighbor's place, now am tired of going there to charge my cellphone, so what will I do so I can be more available on this forum?
I managed to post this thread because I traveled, we normally use canoe 🛶 to go to the market or traveling
Ever since I join this forum I have learned a lot about bitcoin and how people become rich through bitcoin investment, I am very much interested in bitcoin investment and I am willing to invest no matter the risk.
If it's possible for you to buy a small solar panel that will be dedicated for charging your phone, it's possible. I'm seeing some bargain with that type of solar panel in my place and hopefully, it's available there on your island or to the nearest city and marketplace where you are right now.

It's good to see how eager you in investing in bitcoin even if the situation that you're in isn't good.

Since you're able to connect to the internet and you've got a good neighbor that allows you to charge, you have to bear with the current situation you're in.
Thanks for the advice, I am into fishing and I have some savings, by next week I will buy a solar panel. I don't like going to someone's place all-day that's why am finding it difficault

If you are just planning to buy solar panels to charge your phone, it is cheap as it is just a couple of panels, batteries, and wires. If you can afford it, it is a good idea; if not, try to use powerbanks so that you can still pay to charge your power bank in your neighbor's house, but now you are not frequently going there. Also, I hope that you will continue here in the forum and not just after of merits to join signature campaigns, since your goals is to learn more about bitcoin.
1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: March 03, 2023, 04:27:12 PM

That's what we call luck, but you don't have that every time so I can also say that what if you didn't got that chance to win that multiplier? but it's all about how you see your opportunities and how you believe with the strategy that you are using, then plus the luck factor that most of the time gambler always hope that it will back them up.
In fact, a gambler cannot determine and ensure that he really can have a multiplier opportunity like that found in slot games.
However, with the strategy used by gamblers, it can at least increase the possibility of generating multiplication with quite a lot of multiples and we get it successfully.
But all of that is only the second factor because as you said that there is still the luck factor that is expected and in every game or bet you can really win because of the main factor, namely luck.
Right. Strategies are nothing when you got no luck, most especially in slot games that are purely luck driven. So even if you make use of potential strategies in gambling, that won’t still work as gambling outcome rely mostly on luck. However, with this betting strategy shared by OP, i can say it’s really tempting to bet but if you keep on betting and chase bigger profits, probably that will only cause you to lose bigger amount of money instead of making it big in gambling.

That is luck base games which you need to luck on that and there are no strategy on it but on those card games others are using strategy as this can be use to increase their winning percentage bug again it is always a luck when it comes to gambling unless in sports betting that you have a high chance to win if you know who will you bet on. Also chasing your losses makes you lose more unless you have a ton of money to cover those loses even if you are in lose streak.
1956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My first investment for Bitcoin on: March 03, 2023, 01:51:40 PM
I wish you more luck and profit in the coming months and years. I hope you will save more like the $14 you've spent right now in bitcoin. Continue to accumulate it, like if your father gave you money to buy something, and if there are still extras on it, then put them in bitcoin because, overtime, you won't notice that you've already accumulated a lot of it. Congrats on your first purchase, and please continue to learn about bitcoin to keep your bitcoin safe, as well as get in touch very well with bitcoin.
1957  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Emotion and Trade? on: March 03, 2023, 12:20:00 PM
I guess for someone to call him or her self a trader you need to control your emotions right, now after having that emotion in control and other basic things a trader should know you have all under control and still loss more then getting profit.

*What else is required for such a person to control,is it still his or her emotions or what next?

*And what will be your advice to a person in that position or state and what kind of trader are you going to call such a person?

If your emotions are under control, you can now focus solely on knowledge and improving your strategy to increase your trading winning percentage and find those trades that go your way, much like you can now filter out more of those tempting trades to find a sure one. I know controlling emotions is difficult, and other traders are also learning this because their trading plan isn't working well. But if you are under control, then you can only focus on backtesting your strategy and learning more.
1958  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What If There Is A Ban on: March 03, 2023, 10:01:21 AM
The ban definitely won't happen because they have realized that the ban doesn't work and doesn't even benefit them, countries that ban bitcoin not only don't stop people from using bitcoin, they also lose out on huge taxes. But strict regulations will also be a problem for us, we will no longer be free, and our privacy will be violated by those regulations. Many people think that regulation will be good for the market, but I am not sure about that, there is a lot to face when there is regulation.
Well said , Countries that do not legalize bitcoin are losing a large portion of their tax revenue.  Specially if we talk about my country cryptocurrency has not been legalized yet but recently a news came out that about 4million people use cryptocurrency in our country.
And these four million people are using it as well as they are, in my case a big part of my income is from cryptocurrency but my advantage here is that I don't have to pay any tax. Thus the government is losing their revenue, our information state minister Allready said and that we should know or be efficient about the way to control it and not declare it illegal.

So is it good for you that bitcoin is not legal in your country and it saves you from paying taxes?

By the way, if the government wants they can have a crackdown against these four million people as they are using bitcoin illegally. They can seize all their crypto in this case. It is better to pay taxes than to get lose all of your crypto holdings.

They can, but it will take a lot of work to catch those 4 million people and force them to pay taxes. When it comes to taxes, most of the government is tracking down those rich or big people that aren't paying taxes or evading them, as they need to pay a lot. That is why you are not shocked when Manny Pacquiao wins his boxing match; the tax department in the country is reminding him to pay the tax as he earns a huge amount. I know that paying taxes is big and also sometimes time consuming, but it would be best to pay it than have trouble in the future.
1959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My $300 bet won $417,000 on: March 03, 2023, 08:22:56 AM
You only share your good news, not your gambling strategy, I hope newbies won't get hooked with this type of news and start developing some kind of unrealistic dream, makes sure you know what you are doing and gamble responsibly with the amount you are ready to lose. Avoid getting addicted to gambling by all means.
But he also give his past bet that tries to call His friend to bet with Him and I believe that there is on strategy in this but Knowledge instead about the team/player that will go against?

and good thing here is all positive vibes.

But surely OP also had some losses that he is not sharing here and also tips is just a chance to win but no assurance at all.
Luck is an important factor in gambling it will not always favor everyone. OP has shared his big win but not yet shared his big loss. I think he has big losses too. After all he is undoubtedly lucky and experienced. He also asked some of his friends to bet there because he was very confident. ‍Such moments may come to many but considering proper money management and risk factors, many do not have the courage to bet and failed to big wins.

One-time big win is really different to suming up your losses . For sure he has bigger losses and you are right he haven't shared it as i think lets just look in the brighter side lol. It was funny that even myself i do only look on my winnings like i won this amount on that day and it is huge but when we take a look the dark side on it like how much i bet on it just to win is almost the same or even more than the prize you won. Gambling is really you have more losses than winning unless you are very lucky then its opposite.
1960  Economy / Economics / Re: My survival strategies in this harsh economic conditions on: March 03, 2023, 06:49:17 AM

Low-key celebration: It is normal to spend during Christmas, birthdays, Easter, and other holidays but overspending might affect us negatively. Hence, all our celebrations are low-cost. The children understand because they know that buying new clothing or organizing big parties might not be financially friendly to the family.


I am in a country in which we really need to like party like there is no tomorrow that is why we need money on this a lot of people saving on it but also there are some will take a loan mostly when its their children's birthday but in other country i noticed they celebrate it but only few are invited as it is low key but here almost all people know you will attend so meaning you need to spend a lot and what i realize recently that when it comes to your son/daughter birthday he/she is not the star those people who attend so I promise to my self in the next birthday of my child we would spend it in playground anywhere that she will enjoy which no need to spend huge amount just to prepare foods for people
