Let's for a. moment stop blaming the government for all our failures
Only those who strive for the best excel in their life. Life is not a bed of roses and we all have to struggle hard to survive through the tough days.

If economy is bad, nothing good works fine in that environment, say the businesses, the rising cost of food, increased in cost of production, increase in low quality products as most companies would want to minimize cost of production and maximize profits, there would be mad inflation, so tell me why would peoples life not be miserable when the government are not doing their own part.

If the people wish to survive, the government must do their part to keep things in good shape so that whatever the little resources the people have, they can live fine regardless of the financial level, otherwise even the richest man will shades tears one day and would eventually blame the government for his misfortune.

We will cross that threshold too, one day. BTC is now chilling at 20k+ price point. It is still not bullish yet as far as i can see. but be assured that we will cross the 100k+ mark in no time. Maybe not today or tomorrow, hopefully soon that will happen for sure. It's just a matter of time.
Bear market is an opportunity. Fill your bags and just forget about it.

Bear market is discount but people are even more afraid of bear markets than the bull market as it’s easy to make quick profits without stress.
There is a logic that people missed out in bear market, investors becomes less interested in the market and that’s always the best time to scoop your sats in your bag and by the time bull market comes, you don’t have to worry what is even driven the market, all you have to do is relax and watch your portfolio becomes multiple in usd and sell if you feel the market has top but it’s sad that people prefer to be genius(dullard) in bull market where everyone literally becomes a market expert.
1963  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does everyone want bitcoin to be stable in price? on: October 26, 2022, 08:37:57 PM
It seems to me that bitcoin has a reputation for easy money and anyone who starts investing in it is waiting for profit and only profit.  in this case, it will be of little interest to anyone in theory stable.  high volatility and made it the first cryptocurrency in the world and, in principle, made the cryptocurrency so interesting

Do you said bitcoin is an easy money? If that’s true, those who buy it $65k would worry less of the price since it is always an easy money but with my little experience with bitcoin, it’s not an easy money. You need patience, perseverance, dedication, ability to look ahead of any impossibilities because holding bitcoin is not a straight journey, it is full of bumps that you may even be discouraged like times like this(bear market), bitcoin is not for the faint hearted people but if you manage to employ the above, you will enjoy it like an easy and free money.

Bitcoin price cannot be stable and wouldn’t be stable, if at all it has been stable, it wouldn’t get to where it is today, it might has not get the attention the way we wanted and even at this level, it’s just the beginning of new price attainments.
1964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think China will lose by banning Bitcoin? on: October 26, 2022, 07:23:52 PM
I am bullish on the future of Bitcoin as a technology.

We all know that China has a total ban on cryptocurrencies, including but not limited to no mining, no circulation, no trading, no banking services, no listing on exchanges.

What do you think countries have to lose by making this choice?

The Chinese government have nothing to lose neither do bitcoin but the people of course especially does who are pro-bitcoin and enthusiasts and including those who have ventured heavily into bitcoin mining, the investors who have held since they one and those who operate as exchange locally as a merchant and globally. However, they can still move out to countries that welcome bitcoin and its investors.
If one day bitcoin gets accepted y half of the world, China is just like the US that is opportunist, they will want to have their hands in bitcoin heavily to control and know what is happening in the decentralized ecosystem and it might be too late by that time. Any country that bans bitcoin will just do fine aside from their people that may be affected by not been able to have one.
1965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 25, 2022, 05:44:15 PM
Well, Chelsea really shouldn't underestimate their opponent, this is the Champions League that can easily motivate a club like Salsburg to be motivated to win even with a slim result. In fact, Chelsea got the advantage in the 23rd minute. The start of the first half was quite good in my opinion for Chelsea who took the lead. Whatever can happen it's still early, I want to see the Salsburg players do their best in this match.
Salzburg are definitely trying to keep the points even though they are now behind goals but there is still a long time to go I think the game will be more interesting I myself prefer Chelsea as a bet because the potential with Graham Potter is bigger to win this will even be recorded for Graham Potter who is unbeaten so I optimistic about it even though I know there will be times of defeat but at the moment I have more faith in Chelsea.
If the result is a draw, then Chelsea and Salzburg are likely to qualify, especially Chelsea who have points above them.

Chelsea seems to nullify Salzburg by maximizing all their advantages, they are putting all their efforts in this match but Salzburg are not sleeping either, however, looking at the way the match is going, Chelsea will likely end this match with another goal leading Salzburg with 2-0, this will definitely pave way for Graham Potter to impress the management of his competence.
Salzburg will suffer some pressure if they concede to Chelsea because Milan share the same points with them and since we don’t know what will happen in their match against Dinamo, it’s better they win this match to have more points to stay ahead but will Chelsea even give them a breathing space, not likely.
1966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: October 25, 2022, 03:15:44 PM
Even right now Manchester United are facing problem in consistency but still we have to praise new coach and his hard work for this team they are doing amazing job and if they are able to keep this momentum then surely they can improve their performance which could be helpful like we have from Arteta and Klopp both are having amazing time after sticking with their strategy and players so here now Ten Haq factor working for Manchester United, and they are able to find good opportunities which are helping them.

Most chances Cristiano Ronaldo factor is going to end after world cup, and they will allow him for any other club which is suitable for both parties because with current performance and development which is going without him doing good, and they can leave him for his better future as well.

So far in my opinion, I think they have break even because if you look at Manchester United statistic, they have conceded an equal amount of goal they have won leaving them with 6 won matches, drawn 2 and loss 3 and that has left them on the sixth place on the table with an aggregate of 20 points, only a single point difference between them away from Chelsea, and Tottenham. They are going to make their first encounter with West Ham next week and with the little they have played, it will be easier for them to overcome any of the above team on the table.

I cannot say Manchester United has had a good ride and performance in EPL this summer, it is below average compare to what they are known for in the past, Erik need to do better irrespective of the players he have available.
1967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be influenced by your favourite celebrity? on: October 25, 2022, 09:44:56 AM
It's a good choice not to be affected by gambling posts from celebrities, but there is no denying that there are things that make fans can be affected by these posts, namely the amount of value he won, just like in trading how many traders post trading profits so that it attracts people even though there are many losses they hide, so celebrities can be wrong and they are most likely not to post bets that are losing.

I did not hear many tweets or posts from celebrities about gambling ? This is because gambling is not considered good in some parts of the world and people think that gambling is for the riches or who have a lot of money to waste or spend whatever.

I think responsible celebrities should tell both sides of the picture that they lose also in gambling as well as winning. Famous Celebrities should not represent gambling as an easy way of making money, though gambling houses want people to think like this. Since people listen to and follow Celebrities, a lot of responsibility lies on their shoulders to present a true picture of gambling.

Why do you think gambling businesses employ famous people as their brand ambassadors so frequently?? That is because they usually want to make an outreach to their fans and people who see them as role models, in fact, they sometimes don't have intentions toward gambling or may not be a fan of gambling but for the sake of bag, they do accept the deal and indirectly or directly they are promoting gambling and that is what Drake is doing with stake dot come even if I have known him to be a man of sport, for him to be trending on Twitter with stake banner has done the job they want him to do even though he lost the match to Real Madrid, that is the power of being a celebrity.
1968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: October 25, 2022, 07:56:49 AM
Ok we agree.

however, Liverpool's struggle is unlikely to be as easy as we discuss in this post. because after all, they are currently in 8th place and 12 points adrift of the premier league leaders. to achieve entry into the top 4 on the leaderboard, of course it is not easy for them at this time.
That means Liverpool have to win a lot of the games they have left and it's not easy because as we know, there are a lot of problems they face within the team itself.
Tottenham may be able to maintain their position by maximizing every opportunity they have, Chelsea and Manchester United, it is very likely they can overtake Newcastle's ranking.
in fact, they have the potential to overtake Tottenham's rankings. however, for Liverpool at least Klopp must ensure his team to remain stable.

If we're talking about a chance for teams to get to the top four, it won't be easy, but there are some who will struggle to get it, and I'm sure Chelsea will take third or fourth before the end of the season, Liverpool may come close but I don't think they have the ability to make it, and I don't want to say Manchester United are better than them, but their spirit is far luckier in most of their games.
Is this the start of Arsenal's decline? Manchester City, who will face Leicester City the next week, will likely overtake Arsenal in the standings since they will win that game more easily than Arsenal when they play against Nottingham Forest.
1969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you win big in casino, would it be publicized? on: October 24, 2022, 05:22:16 PM
I have not paid attention much to people winning on gambling sites. I do not mean people that just win, but people that win big like over $10000 or more. All I have known is that people that won so big are publicized and people know them from there.

That is dangerous, it means no privacy and people that are known to the public can be the victim of robbers and there can be physical attacks from robbers in order to steal from the winner. That is not all, even if there is no physical threat, people like me and some other people on this forum can be afraid, feeling unsafe of attacks.

I do not expect gambling sites to be publicising this kind of news. Will gambling site ask for the permission of the winner for the winning to go public? Or the winner can just be anonymous in a way his name will not be mentioned?

I am not sure if you have seen >this<, that young man won over roughly $50,000(#34m) on sports bet last week with just $1.2 (#800) and the whole of his street was over the celebration, he couldn't hide the joy as he runs into a mosque to give thanks to God.  Grin
This kind of joy is hard to hide, no matter how you intend to hide it, it will naturally explode out from you, especially if its a sum of money you have never seen before in your lifetime, this kind of luck is rare but gambling does give the opportunity to win something big.

The downside of this is you will be exposed to dangers and likely becomes a target by criminals, your enemies may become jealous of you and may do something to hurt you. A winning game should remain within the player and preferably should be played online, no one will ever know that you won a fortune.
1970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: October 24, 2022, 05:05:45 PM
Ronaldo has problems with ageing and his lack of training, preparation in the summer but he will come back and will play better. I don't support his unprofessional reactions recent weeks but when his mental becomes better, he will play better.

I think the best solution for both Manchester United and Ronaldo is leaving him a chance to leave to another club in the winter transfer. Keeping him in the club but does not give him enough opportunity to play will only make things worse for both.
Aging is unavoidable Ronaldo will definitely face that problem but with big enough ambition to make him believe that he still deserves to play in the highest caste, but that's what we see that Ronaldo doesn't show his professional player so this has led to a lot of speculation that has become crowded, because he wanted to leave or Ten Hag didn't give him a chance, Ronaldo wasn't played from the start, so it all looks again at the age factor because the coaches don't want to play old players.

There are rumors about that where Manchester United gave Ronaldo a chance out in the winter (don't know what happened in the talks with Ten Hag) on the other hand it is always linked with Chelsea being the club he is interested in, but Graham Potter never talks about that he still focus on existing players while rumors about Ronaldo like Potter did not respond to him.

Please save it, why would any coach wouldn't use a player because they are old? Looking physically at his body and some players under the range of 34 years, Ronaldo looks lighter, smarter and fast. What I presume to be the reason why coaches prefer young players is that because they are the future of the club, they can continue to depend on old people. Ronaldo is ambitious and his style of playing with these guys is different to when he was at the peak of his fame, just look at what Rashford was doing during Manchester United against Chelsea, he was sluggish and was never ready, not so hungry type of person for goals.
1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A disheartening true life winning story on: October 24, 2022, 04:49:41 PM
Last week, I read a painful story from a local newspaper where a huge amount was legally won but the lottery company is refusing to pay.

In USD conversion, the guy bet about $690 and won about $169,000, but the gambling company refused to pay him, claiming that his record of the winning has been wiped off from their database as a result of a technical error.

The first step he took was to report at a police station where he was offered about $23,000 by the company which he rejected. He later reported at the National Gambling Board where he was offered about $29,900 which he also rejected. It's at this time he charged them to court with three counts charges of Conspiracy, Obtaining money under false pretence and Stealing.

The case is on, and I hope he wins. The guy is lucky enough to have money to file charges and this is happening within his reach/jurisdiction.

You should have backed up your information with a source, but nevertheless, this is a big fraud.

What were the comments of the National Gambling board? Why are they taking sides with the gambling company in return to pay the player sum of $29k instead of $169k. This is not like a mistake from the player, it is an error from the gambling company and as long as there are no terms that state otherwise, the gambling company must pay the player his full payment.

Quote

This is a very sad story to me, which is why I ask these four questions:

Can this guy win the case?
Has anyone experienced not being paid for their winning for real?
Why would they take your big money but refuses to pay big winning?
What could be done to curb this cheating permanently in gambling?

I am confident that even with the error they are using as an excuse to make the full payments, they don't have the intention to pay the player. If the player stands his ground to the end, the lawyer will get to the root of the case and will definitely get his money.
Some gambling companies have a way they cheat players and this is just one of them, there are other ones that even lock up accounts for unknown or genuine reasons to get ahead of players, the solution lies ahead of regulators and the licencing agency.

What's your favorite thing to do when you get a bad loss?


My reaction to loss is determined by how big my loss is, there are losses I will feel as if I never lose anything, that is why it is always advisable to wager an amount you can accept to lose, you don't wager an amount big enough to make you reminisce over and over that you may even find hard to overcome.
In fact, I move on quickly whenever I lose but as I said, depending on the amount but there are situations or mistakes that hurt more than even an amount used to wager a game. I remember sometimes a go when a single match damage my tickets, I would have won a life changing cashout but that match ruin everything, it was difficult to forget but of course, we are human beings, very easy to forget things behind.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he will deal with Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese star walked out of Old Trafford before full-time in Manchester United’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham.
Ronaldo was seen walking down the touchline with specualtions wide that he was furious for not being introduced in the game.
The 37-year-old watched from the bench as goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes saw United overcome Spurs to move within a point of the Premier League’s top four.

Reacting to the incident, Ten Hag said, “I don’t pay attention to that, I will deal with that tomorrow. I want to keep the focus on the team.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/10/ten-hag-to-deal-with-ronaldo-after-star-left-pitch-before-full-time/
Ronaldo is a big name does he mean he can do whatever he feel likes to do??


This is an old event my friend, they already had another match with Chelsea without Ronaldo's presence and they ended with a draw and it seems Machester United were the Happiest when Casemiro equalized a goal in added extra minutes. Would Ronaldo's presence make any difference with what they have been playing all this while from the beginning of the season?

There is a fussy aspect of Ronaldo that nobody wants to talk about. His rivals, in particular, believe that he is rude, which is undoubtedly true. However, in my opinion, he has worked hard to get to where he is today and has people he values greatly. I also dislike the way Eric handled Ronaldo by benching him, despite the fact that he isn't injured. To put an end to the never-ending media coverage of his career, I would be more than pleased to see him leave Manchester United during the January transfer window.

Chelsea Vs Manchester united match has started, what will be your stake over this match, from the look of the I'm thinking that they will play draw match, because the parties can play absolutely well. But if Chelsea play nice i think that they first score before Manchester united but i summarize that the match might be draw

This doesn't looks like a match that would end draw. Manchester United and Chelsea are both dominating the pitch but Manchester United seems to have more chances and open space but they are very sluggish in making attempts to make use of it, they have that zeal to give Chelsea a leading a goal sooner than I expect. Chelsea defends center seems weak, Kepa cannot do all the job alone, he will get worn out and Manchester United will likely make the first attempt of a goal of care is not taken.

I hope Erik and United management are right on their decision to skip Ronaldo on their match, if they prove to the world they can do without his presence in this match, he will get hope to move from the entire team.

As a responsible gambler, I know we don't let gambling change our lifestyle. If today is your luckiest day ever in gambling,on your first game you won the sum of $50 000.
First, will you quit the game immediately and withdraw all your funds or will you play for awhile because you are excited.

Second, will you use this money to upgrade your lifestyle i.e living big and showing off,even relocating to a better environment and forget about your old friends in your former neighborhood ? Or will you just remain quiet,happy and living a your normal way of life but investing the money into something profitable without telling anyone ?

I wouldn't quit as I never see a reason in the first place to quit gambling, not that I don’t appreciate $50k as a big money but if gambling could earn me such kind of amount, I will use it to establish a business, that will serve as a another source of income. Beside, that business will serve as a passive way to generate money for myself and I might have some days I can become broke that I wouldn’t struggle for cent to wager another game or sport book.

There is a might people believe about gambling, it may be true or not but they always say people who gamble and win don’t always use their money for something useful and meaningful, I will prove them the other way that gambling money is an opportunity and should be use well.

Liverpool are playing like rubbish... Probably no one expected Nottingham Forest to not only score a goal but also dominate the game against Liverpool... Judging by the match I don't think Liverpool can win them any more, but I want to be wrong about that...

At last, you weren't wrong. Every weekend is new drama in EPL but I'm not sure if I am the only one who find this season odd. I know there has been some shuffling of players prior to the beginning of the season but let save that excuse, some team performances have becomes empty effort as if one is spraying water on a desert and expect good result.
Just look at Liverpool, after failing to win Arsenal some weeks ago, they returned to form by wining their 3 matches in a row including Manchester City who have been feeling on top the world only for them to disappointed us with Nottingham that are pinned down on relegation zone, Klopp can do better.

After reading so many theories, Analysis and the powers of crypto currency in a nation's economy, the greater impact it will bring to developed and fast developing countries. I began to wonder why is crypto currency not accepted in some area's and organization of the world, can we characterized this as lack of information, and awareness to the people. If this be the case, Can we find a way to adopted Crypto Currency as a Subject and integrate it into our school curriculum, or better still as topic and integrate it into Economy's. This has been on my mind, And I honestly need your contribution and your thoughts towards this. I honestly think crypto currency, BTC and ETH for example. Should be adopted globally and accepted by everyone. Thanks


I think I have seen the questions multiple times on different boards, the idea of crypto being taught as an academic curriculum would be hard because economy wise, there have been different views from different people and from most of their conclusions, it will be very difficult to implement in schools but I know few schools where cryptography are been taught and recognized, in fact, the building blocks of bitcoin are been taught because they are technicalities that are been used in other technologies but the idea to teach crypto itself in school will be hard to implement especially with all these scandals that are challenging in crypto space, nobody wants to expose their children to high-risk investment without proper protections.

I have seen many adult - staying idol and not working for less salary because their ego is more dear than their need.
I know and personally have seen adult want to join an office on their conditions. They want to work but they want to work on very higher salary and all the terms they decide.
For me these people remain broke because they are selfish and arrogant and greedy. They should remain broke because they are meant to be

You cannot say someone is greedy for maintaining their standards, there should be standard take home for you as a professional, you shouldn't allow employees to exploit you because they know you are eager and looking hungry. If you are been employed as a software engineer, and they know you are qualified  and offered the job, they should be ready to pay you that quality paycheck with a good office spacious enough where you can do any job directed to your desk.
Are you even aware that some companies will use your ignorant if you don't come to terms and conditions from the start of the job in your attached employment later so that you don't cry later that you are been used and paid less as agreed, set your standard if you are professional and want to work under a person but I will even advice you to be your own boss instead working under anyone.
