This high transaction fees is really a big problem for small gamblers like me. My best cryptocurrency for gambling is Bitcoin and I am not finding it funny at all. I cannot afford to pay such high transaction fees for my small budget, this means that immediately I finish my monthly deposit, it will only be refilled for next month if the fees have been reduced to a certain level that I can afford. If it doesn't, I might have to take a break until the price normalizes or seek other means of gambling. Selecting an altcoin with less transaction fee or switching to fiat gambling might be options open to me. I think it is just a temporal challenge just like the network experience caused by ordinal inscriptions, it will surely come to an end.

This is my first halving but from the information I got from past halving this current one is slightly changing the Bitcoin circle. I assume that we have never had a time where Bitcoin beats its ATH before the halving. There might be no delay before the effect will begin to reflect in the price. So I will not be surprised if the impact of the halving is felt immediately till the end of the bull run. Happy Halving to all Bitcoin believers. If I were the president of my country, today would have been a public holiday  .

Both teams are the biggest in Europe in terms of quality players and experienced coaches. But we still have some teams that could stand as a barrier for Real Madrid to go to the finals. Bayern Munich is a club that shouldn't be underestimated. They were able to defeat Arsenal which is a team made up of some of the best young players in the world. They also have a good coach who is desperate to prove the club management wrong. I think Thomas Tuchel will do everything possible to make Bayern management regret letting him go at the end of the season. The good thing about the UCL games is that each club has the chance to re-strategize since they have two legs for each level of the competition.

I don't think many people believed that Barcelona would lose against PSG after they won the first leg in Parc des Princes. I expected the game to at most end in a draw in Camp Nou which would make the Spanish side progress to the semi-finals. And Barca got the first goal and I was sure that they would be in the semis. But a single event which is the red card received by Ronald Araujo changed the sequence of the game which gave PSG an undeserved victory. Such events can happen in football so we cannot be certain that a club will win even if it is against a perceived weak side.

There has been a rise in the rate of mental health disorders. Some of them have been attributed to social media which has increased cyberbullying, the effect of Covid 19, and economic problems. There has also been an increase in suicide rates because of business failures. The use of drugs has also increased over the years which has contributed to mental problems.

Entrepreneurs or business owners should know that business is a risk and the outcomes are not predictable. There is also a need to learn about a business before investing to avoid losses. They should also know that failure is not the end of the world. After all many successful businessmen in the world have failed many times but they set aside these challenges and put in more effort. We should be aware that if we lose money we lose something but if we lose our health we have lost everything.

Maybe he invested in a Ponzi scheme or a get-rich-quick project. Or he didn't do enough research about the business he invested on.

There is a need to always pay attention to our health because without it we cannot achieve anything in life. We should also go for periodic medical checkups to make sure we are fit to work. If you feel too stressed or emotionally unstable, taking a break from full-time work could be a good option.

Russia was able to turn these sanctions into an opportunity to build the nation's economy. They were able to encourage the citizens to focus on local goods which reduced the reliance on imported goods. This has helped the country to keep saving their foreign exchanges thereby boosting their economy. Recently IMF predicted that Russia will grow faster than all advanced economies . It is forecasted that the Russian economy will grow by 3.2% this year,  which is far higher than the economies of the UK, France and Germany.

Gambling is restricted but not illegal in Israel. Gamblers are restricted to play only Isreal's National lottery and sports bettings. However the laws doesn't stop enjoying casino games in Cruise ships that docks at some ports in Isreal. I don't know what Judaism preaches about gambling but there is no record of gambling in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

In times of war, People are more interested in survival than other endeavors. might not risk their lives to visit a brick-and-mortar casino but online gambling might flourish. Boredom can fuel more gambling activities. An example is what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic where online gambling increased to a large extent because people were lonely and needed to have some fun.

My advice for him is to gain more knowledge about the line of business he is interested in. He should go for an apprenticeship or gain knowledge from reliable sources. He shouldn't invest a huge sum in the business at the beginning because he could make costly mistakes which can lead to a loss of funds. Let him start small and grow gradually after gaining experience.

Due to inflation, keeping his money in fiat until he graduates from college might not be an ideal option. Maybe investing in areas like Bitcoin, stock, real estate, or precious stones could be some good options. However, he needs to do his research before investing.

There is no scientific proof that the offspring of a business person will possess trading genes that will make them successful in business. There is no guarantee that this young boy will succeed because his father did well in business. There are many successful businessmen whose children waste their wealth because they lack business skills. Most offspring that were successful in their family businesses were interested in it and learned from their parents.

It would have been better to see both teams in finals because they showed high-level performance. Manchester City was the better team because they kept pressuring the visitors until the defense caved in. I doubt if any team would have been able to withstand the attacking power of City like Real. I assume that they were able to stand City because they also had some good attackers that mounted pressure on the host. I am happy Real Madrid won because the competition would have been boring to me if City made it to the finals again

I told a friend that PSG wouldn't have won the quarter-finals game even with the red card if it were clubs like Real Madrid or City. PSG would have struggled to even get a goal in that match. Barca doesn't have some dangerous strikers that would have made PSG play with caution. This was the reason why PSG could change strategy and begin to play a more attacking pattern. Real Madrid and PSG are my candidates for the finals and I will be supporting PSG because they have waited for so long for the trophy.

If you are familiar with the history of Bitcoin you will not asked this question. The current price of Bitcoin is still high compared to the predictions of many experts. Some people expected that the market would go into a correction mode that would drop the price to less than $50. You can always buy Bitcoin with the amount you can afford since it can be bought in small units.

Your predictions might be correct but I doubt if Bitcoin will reduce to that price. The Bitcoin ETF has made the demand for the currency very high. Anybody waiting for the price to drop to $35k this year might miss the opportunity to buy. People shouldn't wait for the bull run to start buying, they should consider DCA or buy during the bear season.

We have seen many of these sportsmen go bankrupt because they lack financial education. Some of them invested in businesses that failed after a few years, while others wasted their flamboyant lifestyles. Renato Moicano's asking to be paid in Bitcoin shows that he is knowledgeable about the prospect of the currency as an investment. The Brazilian has about 79,200 followers on X and 40,000 followers on Facebook.

His preference for Bitcoin will be viewed by most of his followers and who knows, some of them might have an interest in Bitcoin. Other sportsmen might also start showing interest in receiving payments in Bitcoin and someday we might have prize money for winning the UEFA Champions League paid in Bitcoin  .

The match between Inter Milan and AC Milan will not affect the position of Inter because they have 16 points gap between the second-placed team. They will definitely be Seria A Champions with few wins. But AC Milan will need the win to keep Juventus at length since the point gap is just 6 points.

The real battle will be between Bologna and Roma since both teams are vying for the last Champions League ticket. From the statistics of five games, Roma will be the favourite because they have won three games, and drew two, while, Bologna has won just two, lost one and drew two. Daniele De Rossi is already a hero in Roma but if he manages to take the club to UCL, he would become a legend. It is amazing to see how a relatively inexperienced coach has turned the club around within a short period.

I think Mbappé's focus now is how to win individual awards and PSG might not be a viable place to get awards like Ballon d or. Real Madrid will be the best place for him to get the award. Players will go and come but the league will continue to flourish and be exciting. PSG will get another player who will replace the French international. No player is irreplaceable in football because more talents are discovered everyday.

PSG's benchmark for coaches is to win the Champions League and Luis Enrique is close to winning the title. PSG might be the favourites in the semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund but it is not certain that they will get it to the finals because the German side also plays quality football. If they are as fortunate as they were yesterday this season might be their year of victory.

I won't blame anybody who failed to buy Bitcoin at its early stage because it was a new invention. Before then people knew only fiat, so investing in something strange will be highly unlikely. It will take people who understand blockchain technology and also willing to take risks. Many people carelessly lost their keys, while some sold before the price increased and many more stories.

I don't have any regrets about my adventure in the crypto industry because it is still at its infant stage and still holds diverse opportunities. We cannot shape the past but we can take advantage of today's opportunity and plan for the future. We do not just listen or hear about these regretful stories but gain lessons which will help us make the right decisions.

Adopting a defensive style in this kind of match will be a wrong approach. The best way to defend is to have a good defensive midfield and an effective counterattacking force. I doubt any of these teams will play defensively because they both play attacking football. Notwithstanding, PSG will be playing under pressure because they lost at home and the coach might lose his job if they are knocked out of the competition. Barca can capitalise on the pressure to get a good result. I will not be surprised if any of them move to the semi-finals because they are qualified to be there.

Using the word capital in gambling might be inappropriate because gambling shouldn't be seen as a business or investment. It is not wrong to expect wins from gambling but it is not proper to depend on gambling as a source of revenue because you see it as a business or occupation. Your friend has entered an advanced stage of gambling addiction for him to use his house rent for gambling.

There is no certainty that a certain gambling strategy would bring wins. It is better to adopt a gambling style that you deem appropriate but it should be strictly with an amount you can afford to lose.

Your friend might experience one of the following outcomes; a) lose all the money he borrowed on gambling. b) recover all he had lost, or c) be in a state of financial equilibrium. He intends to pursue his losses and this behaviour has destroyed many gamblers.

You are very correct the Chymist, according to the Office of Foreign Asset Control in the US Department of Treasury importation into the United States of fish, seafood, and preparations thereof; alcoholic beverages; and non-industrial diamonds of Russian Federation origin. There is also a ban on the importation of Russian-origin aluminium, copper, and nickel into the United States.

There is a Union called the Non-Aligned Movement. The nations in this organisation are not involved in the East-West ideological confrontation of the Cold War. Although most of these nations are developing, they might be better for people to run to than move to Antarctica.

De-dollarisation is not an easy path to thread because the US and its allies dominate the global economy. Nations will always need the dollar for international trade. If de-dollarisation were easy, the BRICS nations would have been the first to adopt such a policy.

Some news outlets just came up with the news that Bayern Munich had contacted Zidane's agent. But there has been no response from the former Real Madrid coach who has been very reluctant to come back to football. He has turned down so many jobs and prefers to mentor his sons and take some endorsement deals. Bayern will be lucky to get Zidane because he is seen as a legend a player and one of the best coaches of all time. For now, the familiar names to replace Tuchel are Nagelsmann, Flick and Mourinho.
