The fact that when you asked the AI bot a question and returned an answer of only being able to process data up until 2021 makes it a waste of time for me!
But of course for other questions they do give satisfactory answers, and this being an era which depends heavily on such technologies I wouldn't want to be fighting this tech but embrace it with due diligence!!!

For those that might want to be reliant on this tech , try ask AI to solve mathematical questions and see it fail or bring out wrong answers...which is why I say proceed with caution!

Btw those AI predictions arent convincing for me because its being spoon fade with the kind of data it needs to generate an answer which makes it less authentic for me Tongue

Just a reminder for the rest of you guys (and girls) that were promoted/relegated, don't forget to select your new division.
Thanks for the reminder,  almost forget that we are in a new season that came with promotions and relegation...

Talking of Division 1, I can only imagine the A game everyone will be bringing when facing you, do you see yourself continuing on that unbeaten run here  Roll Eyes (This should be a good bet on sportsbet.io book, maybe 10 odds for this as well )
1964  Economy / Economics / Re: If they have the solution, why are banks still failing? on: June 05, 2023, 11:28:29 AM
But some of these CEO and board of Directors claim that they have wealth of experience in financial matters. The way they attack cryptocurrency firms will make one believe that they have all the solutions and are infallible.
A Bank failing isn't always as a result of the CEOs doing,  sometimes or should I say most times what kills these financial institutions is panic from its clients.
If the banks clients are going to panic withdraw funds from their accounts, this overwhelms the system and leaves it insolvent as these banks usually use what we the customers deposit to issue out loans and the alike to conduct their business...
But the million dollar question is "Would this a preventable occurrence?" I think yes and no because indicators should have been there and the guys sitting at the top just didn't do enough imo.

Lol this is quite funny  and dumb AF Grin Grin

On the contrary, this is a good selling point why bitcoin needs to be adopted! Unlike fiat ATMs, going with Bitcoin ATMs means such crimes will be come history as ATMs will nolonger hold funds and have criminals pulling out ATMs out of walls or trying what these crypto  thieves did..Hope crypto ambassadors use this to convince the world why we need to adopt these cryprocurrencies into our daily lives.

4 years is a longtime for anyone to get a clean sleeve ,  but with the kind of case which is almost irredeemable it doesn't look like you will be getting a second chance.

Besides having to let this account in means anybody who has waited a long time can get a second opinion as this will set precedent for everyone banned to get second opinion and get unbanned.


Off-topic: When making these appeals , shouldn't users be focused on what they have done for the forum besides getting sig paid and the alike to showcase the service rendered to the forum and their valuable standing here?
1967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Benefit of bitcoin on: June 05, 2023, 05:21:57 AM
OP these are the general benefits you have listed and I kind of agree! But at the end of the day I think we all have different preferences as to why we using bitcoin ,take for example people coming from countries were their home currency has become totally useless and unstable... bitcoin does come to fill this gap and their benefit in such a scenario is not a benefit to me. So like I said some benefits depend on current situation with economy etc.

However, it is necessary to address the drawbacks as well, even to distance the cult-like group that tarnishes the project's image.
Ummh never seen this side of the forum  Cry

Isn't bitcoin relation to the user a personal matter regardless of " the cult-like group?"
I wonder who this group of people are...
1968  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading is perfect work for jobless peoples on: June 04, 2023, 11:14:34 AM
I don't know why you associated Jobless to trading and  make trading sound like some shitty thing to do...
Just so you know, you can actually make more money from trading than what a doctor or an engineer can make, so let's not belittle it !!!

And like any other profession ,one requires the knowledge/education to be good at what they venture into and this will need you to invest the time and money to succeed!!
Btw, trading isn't only for jobless people...people wanting to have an extra income do actually trade including doctors,engineers, uber drivers etc and once they find the financial freedom some actually go in as full time traders.

1970  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: June 03, 2023, 10:00:48 PM
When you're short on cash, it can be difficult to quit borrowing money.
Don't you think there should be a line drawn between borrowing money and managing to payback & borrowing money and failing to payback Huh I don't think its about quiting because if someone is paying back then there is no problem here...

The majority of us live beyond our means, which is one of the primary causes of our ever-increasing habit of borrowing money. Simply put, incomings are outpacing outgoings. It's also getting worse.
Were are these stats coming from???

Btw when someone is getting these extra loans its more likely that they have the capacity based on debt service ratio, because if someone is to put the numbers together to see if you are in a position to payback with all other loans on your book, then you would never be considered for one.. But should the numbers read that you have some funds to spare then the extra loans will be approved.

More than at any time in the past two decades, millions of Americans are spending more than they earn. Spending on credit cards, the most common type of personal debt, is estimated to be rising at a rate faster than at any other time in American history.
Credit cards, Overdrafts etc all these financing options were meant to keep the economy  running as these mediums  are used to pump in money into circulation but the end user does pay the price.
1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2022/2023 on: June 03, 2023, 03:29:44 PM
Manchester City 2 - 1 Manchester United
Gundogan scored first an early goal since the first minute then Fernandes scored the draw then Gundogan just scored the leading goal again.
Captains war there Wink
Odds are 1.2 for Manchester City and 24 for Manchester United. Interesting and risky
Clearly the market price told the story of what was to happen and this 24 odds was never going to come in favor  of Manchester United.

With this 2 cups in the bag that treble is looking more likely at this point  unless inter Milan can stop these boys from a clean sweep!

Btw what happened to docking of Manchester City's points??

I'm glad VAR ended in a penalty for Manchester United and was intercepted by Bruno Fernandes in the 33rd minute to make it 1-1 after Manchester City went ahead through Ilkay Gundogan's volley in the first minute.
They are even even lucky they got a goal because I had these guys not to score any goal!
1972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 03, 2023, 03:02:52 PM
Based on my personal experience,  VPN usage mostly effect unverified accounts, so assuming I am travelling to a country where stake is a blocked and I know stake has a free hand for VPN usage, so what I will do is to first get my account verified in my country since all my documents such as IDs are all issued here in my country, then travel and use VPN to play on stake pending till my return into the country.
This is a valid reason to use a VPN and I think the casino should exempt you from any kind of punishment.

And from personal experience,  being a verified user gives you certain perks like using a VPN for whatever reasons like crossing boarders into places where the service isn't available...but to avoid any kind of drama  best not to try what they can or can not do!!
1973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Allow To Undergo Hypnosis If A Professional Recommend To Cure Gambling on: June 03, 2023, 10:19:31 AM
Unfortunately I do not believe in hypnosis, but after seeing this movie "Hypnotic by Ben Affleck" I might have second thoughts because these movies are made based on research and possibilities in real life not always about CGI...

But if it got to a point of me having to see a physician because the gambling addiction was so bad, then why not because any help is better than no help at all,though I think these mental battles can only be won by one's  willingness to change and not others fighting it for you.

1974  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC 100K FOR 2024 ! on: June 02, 2023, 07:30:29 PM
Of course, everyone understands that when a halving occurs, the price will skyrocket, of course, to be able to skyrocket depends on the previous price, if the initial price in 2024 can reach at least $ 50k then I'm optimistic that the price will easily reach $ 100k during the halving but if the initial price in 2024 is around $ 28 k then the max achievable price might be $50k.
50k sounds like a reasonable price that we could hit with or without the halving in 2024,  but to say we shall get to $50k then hit a double because of the bitcoin halving all in one year is a big ask...
Besides something has to drive price up and at the moment nothing really stands out that can cause such a price jump,  unless something threatens something like the biggest currencies in fiat then everyone will be out trying  to protect their wealth by going with crypto.
For now its all speculative of what the future holds.
1975  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it a mistake to make a separate Bitcoin channel on YouTube? on: June 02, 2023, 05:36:32 PM
The last time you spoke of YouTube, it was about monetizing  the channel...are you still on this path ?? I suppose that's a topic for another day..

Anyway, you have mentioned your target audience  being van dwellers and the alike, don't you think this is limiting your audience and as a content creator you don't want to have artificial limitations. Btw if you want to get your content to reach more users out there, allow the YouTube algorithm to put your content out there for all to see,  by making the channel a general crypto channel..talk about latest developments in the crypto ecosystem , market reactions etc. Definitely not going to be easy, but what matters is starting from somewhere.

On competency (how good players are) Average Goals Scored would be the better indicator, since you need to get a question right, or answer more accurately than the opponent, to score a point. You'll see that Div1 (40.08) and Div2 (40.67) are much closer in that aspect (though Div2 still comes up on top). Div3 is significantly lower in that regard, with only 402 goals (36.55 average) scored.

Didn't adjust numbers for late answers or missed rounds... I believe that only happened in Div3?

Nice analysis - with 1 mistake though.
Div3 has a 40.2 average - it had 1 round less to play.

If you take player averages - Division 3 has 2 players in the top 3.
The best would be slackovic with a 4.63 average, followed by Woodie (4.6) and myself (4.5).

I think nobody else is above 4.28.
Thanks cryptofrka for the correction!

it's funny how everybody has missed this fine detail that Division 3 had played a round less than other divisions and gone further to label it the weakest , ouch that hurt Roll Eyes

Otherwise all i can say, D3 was definitely super competitive, and no one can take that away.

Hope whoever goes into Division 3 from the top league wins it easy to prove their point on its low competency, otherwise goodluck  Tongue

1978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dad's retirement money is invested in Bitcoin! on: June 01, 2023, 10:01:37 PM
Honestly,  I have mixed feelings on this issue and how the retirement funds are being used and I don't like it because  it sounds a bit selfish too me...no offense OP !

Let's not forget that this package that comes needs to take care of Dad and the family as he will nolonger be part of the workforce in the coming years and this will need to go a long way!!

As this stands, when you commit to invest in cryprocurrencies,  you are saying you are in it for the long run, and crypto will not grow in one direction like a tree following light, no...sometimes, it will be red, sometimes green and other times range around and if you are in a hurry to see your portfolio grow this might give you headaches which is why am saying you need to be ready for the long journey to success as its not a rosy one! Bitcoin investments should be treated like money you can afford to lose without having to feel the pinch,  but if this is the only money sitting around  better not make a huge investment!

1980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: June 01, 2023, 08:57:56 PM
The father rejecting these funds can not really be because of gambling... Maybe the man had worked all his life and the son had it the easy way and the father couldn't stand the easy life the son was about to get on and only yo send the message was to reject the money to tell the son that life is not easy..you need to work for it, to enjoy it!

Besides, these articles sometimes to have the full story, maybe the man is a religious man and gambling is something that might be frowned upon and was trying to stick to his principles....whatever it is, give it time, the son will explain himself and they will find a way to agree on how to receive the monetary gift.
