1981  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Formula 1's Crypto.com Sponsor Is Falling Apart on: October 11, 2022, 11:37:20 AM
It's quite unfortunate really, but if you built your company heavily on ads and not focused on strengthening what you really offer, plus venturing out on other possible business fronts, this is what you'll get. They were extremely ambitious and bold in getting their name out there, and it's evident on getting deals left, right, and center on big sports teams and leagues.
Diversification can be good, but if not done calculatedly can suffocate a business. This IMO is the scenario crypto.com is facing. Their intention with the massive ads and chasing all the deals was good, but I think they lost focus and forgot one of the primary purpose of business which is to survive. As someone who is in business as well, I sympathize with other business owners when I see their businesses going through a tough time, I hope they recover and bounce back good. This new development should also serve as a warning to other business who plan on following the blueprint of crypto.com.

Liverpool is clearly very difficult to stop Manchester City from lashing out.
Liverpool usually comes alive whenever they play against Manchester city I was having high hopes for them until I saw the news about Luis Diaz's injury that is going to take him off play until next year. I wonder how klopp is going to cope with this new challenge especially since he has not had a smooth running this season in the premier League. I hope they put up a good performance against Manchester City to slow them down from chasing after us (Arsenal) on the league table. Even if they cannot win, holding them to a draw will be celebrated.

Watching Nottingham forest against Aston villa, the game is currently a draw with both teams having one goal each, but Nottingham forest needs the win the most IMO to break their run of bad luck in the season. The players in the team are not yet playing cohesively and i predict Aston Villa to be winners at the end.

1984  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cashback VS Bonus on: October 10, 2022, 11:53:14 AM
if you loose many times in a row, what would you like at most - a cashback from what you've just lost or a bonus to go on?
Losing many times in a row may mean that that is not my lucky day so I do not see any need demanding a bonus to go on when I know that continuing to go on may still mean that I would lose all. A cashback will be my choice to save the day.

 Also to persist gambling even after consecutive losses that same day can be an evidence that I am becoming an uncontrollable gambler who does not know when to stop and that's a bad character to portray.
1985  Economy / Gambling / Re: To what extent do you chase anonymity while gambling? on: October 10, 2022, 11:27:55 AM
Choosing crypto in casinos has always also to do with more anonimous gambling.
The anonymity that many may seek when gambling may not necessarily be concerned with the casino but people. Some people who do not like to physically visit a casino maybe to avoid stereotype or be tagged as irresponsible by people who do not understand, or may judge them due to their position, online gambling with crypto offers that anonymity that they desire.

Anyway I'm curious how important is anonimity to you when you pay & play?
You should be careful while pursuing anonymity on gambling platforms. So you don't make it cloud your judgement/perception, and then you subscribe for an online gambling platform that turns out to be a scam but you couldn't detect it because you liked the fact that they did not ask you for any form of verification.

Good thing it turns out to be a story with a happy ending, I like the fact that even though she had no idea about how important bitcoins will turn out to be, she held on it and kept it safe. IMO, this is just how God and the universe wanted to reward her years of offering free services to people who definitely would have wished her well whether in their hearts or openly with statements like "GOD BLESS YOU''. I hope she doesn't stop doing good and being a good person.
1987  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade with a business mindset on: October 09, 2022, 08:59:54 PM
Mindset matters a lot in trading just as it matters in other things. also understanding and having a business mindset towards trading can also help. just like business you make profits and then you also lose in trading and new traders should understand and not bite themselves about this or make their losing discourage them from wanting to keep trading thinking that older traders never lose but always gain.

Everyone experiences losses and the new traders need to recognise and understand this. The only difference is that the older traders know how to manage their losses something that the new traders need to learn, just like business people who manage situations.

Arsenal this season makes things very hard for the other teams especially City. It has been quite long time since gunners were performing like that.
For a team that is the youngest team in the EPL,  Arsenal is playing very matured football and doing very well more than the expectations of a lot of persons including us the fans and supporters of the team. Arteta has done a great job with morale of this team. We get to enjoy another week as leaders of the premier League. Arnold picking up an injury early in the game kind of ruined Liverpool's plan to send those long searching balls into our six yard box to Darwin Nunez to finish, but good thing he was still able to score starting today ahead of Firminho who still scored against us a team he is so used to scoring against.  Tomiyasu did a great job completely containing the overrated Mo Salah including the other defenders who did their best to ensure that Liverpool did not run through.

Manchester United on the other hand are having a great run and now have won a couple of games and still keeping their hope of being in the champions League next season alive. I am happy that Ronaldo was able to score today, an important 700th career goal for him.
1989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: REFLEX ACTION IN GAMBLING AND TIPS TO AVOID ITS PITFALLS. on: October 09, 2022, 07:05:30 PM
An automatic response to a simple stimulus which does not require mental
In reflex gambling, however, it is simply gambling without prior thoughts to variables involved all due to the brains response to a gambling stimuli.
It is known in gambling that, whether one wins or lose, the brain releases chemicals like adrenalin and endorphins which gets one excited. One may want to play again to try to get a different score or outcome - and end up making some decisions they wished they hadn’t made.
This reflex gambling is sounding same as compulsive gambling where a gambler is unable to control his gambling, and can sometimes find himself/herself gambling even before they can realises.

• Spend time doing other activities, not just gambling.
if you find yourself being in the category of a reflex or compulsive gambler you must try as much as possible to engage yourself in other activities to distract your mind from gambling. Seek enjoyment and pleasure in other activities, so you will not be idle and then the thought of gambling beseeches you.

• Remember that mixing gambling with alcohol or drugs can be risky also.
if you are the type that cannot handle the intoxication that comes with alcohol or drug use you may find yourself making irrational decisions when you are gambling and you become more prone to overspending.

if reputable members here decided to put their own casino will you support them...
A reputable bitcointalk member starting a casino will try as much  as possible to ensure that his casino is of quality having been exposed to the casino environment and other reputable casino's that have active campaigns here. I would support a casino operated by a not just any bitcointalk member, but trusted and reputable members.

Once again, don't invest in the brand new project.
The creators of new projects who may be scammers can capitalize and take advantage of that statement that encourages first time investors enforcing that they are the ones who benefit the most from the a new project. It can be tempting to try them out to avoid loosing out, but we must avoid making quick investment decisions under pressure. The little moment you spend in thinking and considering a project can save you from months of regrets.

Erling Haaland in the Premier League so far:
9 matches
21 shots on target
15 goals
The golden boot of the Premier League this season seems almost certain to belong to Erling Haaland.
Haaland is enjoying a superb form under Pep who keeps pushing for the best from his players, I don't know if to say he is in his prime, because he looks as someone who will get better with time. The only thing that will deny Haaland from recognition as the world's best this period If Manchester city can somehow win the champions league is the fact that he is not from a very strong national team (Norway) and they are not playing in the world cup.

Tottenham is holding on to a delicate lead from Harry Kane after their last two poor performances in the EPL and UCL, they will be lucky to get finish this game with all three points and not a draw.
1993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I helped my dad bought some Bitcoin last night on: October 08, 2022, 01:57:57 PM
So yeah now my dad has some Bitcoin in his Binance account.
This reminds me of a Fix-It joke that I read some time ago, lol Grin about a boy that introduce his parents to cryptocurrency and it was crashing, the parent of the boy on seeing that balance was becoming increasingly lower than what they originally invested, the mother picked up her phone called her son and told him that he has to fix it because the money they invested, had reduced in value. The joke of the comedy was that the boy introduced his parents to cryptocurrency without properly telling them about it and it's versatile nature. In your case OP, I hope you have properly educated your dad, so he doesn't call you to fix the entire crypto situation if he starts seeing his investment looking like it is going all away.
1994  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Too risky to leave BTC right now on: October 07, 2022, 10:05:55 PM
It's way too risky to be out of bitcoin right now
It is also risky and will be regrettable if we don't take advantage of this dip in price of bitcoin right now. It is also risky to want to buy bitcoins now and not have an updated knowledge about how to buy profitably. It will be risky also to get scared and bail out on bitcoins now because it may not look promising for the shortsighted. Likewise it is risky to keep holding bitcoins. Bottom line is choose your risk wisely.
1995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: They want your money by all means possible on: October 07, 2022, 04:18:10 PM
1. Visible team members don't mean they are scam free.
2. A audited smart contract project can still scam you.
3. Scammers can spend a lot on their website to make it look attractive just to make you invest your money.
4. High volume on the listed exchange doesn't make a project clean from going scam.
I once started a topic where I urged and encouraged forum users not to be fooled by titles. and what they see. Scammers are going the extra mile these days to ensure people believe that they are real since the old ways are becoming outdated and people are more aware and more wiser. You have to be on extra look out and on guard always as you can easily be deceived. As newbies and others not too skilled at detecting scammers and their projects, always learn to ask questions and DYOR, they can save you from making mistakes.

It was Cristiano Ronaldo who failed to score despite doing everything he could. There is no sign of fitness, he seems detached, absentminded, and disinterested. Coaches from Manchester United and Portugal are under pressure to play him, but neither team would benefit from his presence.
I wouldn't say he is not fit or detached, Ronaldo is past his prime and he is passing through a difficult time trying to find a new way to settle into both club and country football with the younger talents who are hitting their prime. We will continue to see Ronaldo starting from the bench for Manchester United because Rashford, Martial & Anthony are Ten Hags Best bet.

On the other hand arsenal had a very impressive game , and though some of the players from our first eleven were substituted and replaced to start, they still played high pressing football and scored more than a goal in the First. Gabriel Jesus's assist was impressive too.
1997  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC Vs. CFTC fight over crypto market regulation, What are your thoughts? on: October 07, 2022, 06:01:22 AM
However they think, SEC and CFTC "could" work together by finding out some legislation in the middle.
I think it is very possible, they do not have to make it messy about who has control, they can both work together without hassles.

Does this gives you feeling that Bitcoin / Crypto market is being dragged into the complicated control by Governments?
The SEC has been functioning mainly to protect Investors from pump and dump schemes and maintain a safe market for investors. As crypto develops further we might see extended functions that they may need to perform for regulatory purposes under the government, and to think of that as possible makes it a bit scary.

1998  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When You Heard About Bitcoin For the First Time? on: October 07, 2022, 05:34:36 AM
I first heard about bitcoin from a friend who introduced me then to a Ponzi scheme then called zarfund that built their crowdfunding format around bitcoins. The price of bitcoins then was relatively low and I must mention that I didn't expect expect bitcoins to go so high because after the Ponzi scheme crashed and I lost my money, I didn't seek to know more about bitcoins maybe because i was depressed about it, until after a while when it started becoming a popular and regular discussion amongst my friends.
1999  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you ready to spend crypto when market is down on: October 06, 2022, 01:54:38 PM
So How will willing are you to spend crypto for your purchases?
I wouldn't jump on it as my first mode of payment, but if it turns out to be the last available option to me, I will. I will do so and not feel too uptight about my decision because just as crypto can function for investment purposes, it also has the function to be used for exchange of goods and services. And as a strong believer in bitcoin and a member of this forum, it is a duty for us to strive to ensure that all the functions of bitcoin are met.
2000  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 06, 2022, 12:15:23 PM
Manchester city are the first favourite, they are playing on another dimension ever since Erling Haaland was signed,then there is real Madrid who has history, experience and luck in this competition then we have Bayern Munich.
The supporters of Manchester city have high hopes for Haaland hoping that he will be the one to help break pep's champions League curse. I think it is possible as well judging from how well he has settled into the team. Manchester city going against any other team have a high chance to win because they have always been a goal scoring chance creating team and with the addition of  Haaland, who can convert like 8 in 10 chances created, i don't see any team being able to stop them, except their own over confidence.
