I don't know how your friend intends to attract gambleers to his  website but I think is not a good business strategy. Most people want to have a variety of currencies they could use for gambling. Restricting the gambling site currency to a private token would discourage people from using it. But like I said, if your friend does the right publicity and the games on his platform are interesting he might end up attracting customers that would have no choice but to abide by his rules.

Alleviating poverty might not necessarily mean sharing money or giving people cash. What it might mean is to create platforms where these people can be employed or acquire skills that would be beneficial to them. It could also mean assisting them to get better health services, good infrastructures or even quality education. I know Bill and Melinda Foundation is doing a lot of humanitarian work in Africa which has empowered the people.

As for these billionaires, they are not always satisfied with the wealth they have acquired. most of them only care about how to make more money and not how to empower the people.

Roma is not a team to push aside because they still can win this match if Napoli is not careful. Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach that is technically good. He might identify any loophole in the Napoli team and capitalize on it and make a difference. But Napoli possesses the mentality of a champion.  Their strikers are currently the best in Italy and they also have a solid defense and midfield. This match is the star match today and I expect it to be very entertaining. 

In the field of addictive psychology, easy access is a major drive or motivation for any form of addiction. This is why most addicts are kept in isolated places where they would have any access to the this they are addicted to. The main cause of underage gambling addiction is easy access. An underaged gambler might not be able to visit a real-life gambling house because he knows that everyone would know that he is underaged. But he can easily use his mobile phone and gamble as much as he wants.

But online gambling is here to stay, which means people must have to develop self-control to avoid this problem. And parents should monitor their children to ensure that they are not gambling when they are not mature to control their gambling behavior.

Choosing a casino would largely depend on your likes and dislikes. If you are concerned with privacy, it is important to choose a casino that doesn't require KYC. This is because your privacy might be invaded when you give out some important data to them. If you are thrilled by giveaways, then you should consider casinos that give bonuses. But more importantly, you must consider the reputation of every casino because some of them withhold winners' payment without genuine reason. I have always heard that it is better to play games with approved casino firms in bitcointalk.

I am not doubting that centralized exchanges have contributed to a large extent to the bitcoin environment because it has made bitcoin popular. Most popular sporting clubs have endorsed exchanges like Binance and Ftx which have led to public awareness. They have also assisted to make the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies easy. But they have made people lose their funds and they have also made the government see bitcoin and others as a scam. Nobody is disrespecting them, they are just getting the criticism they deserve.

This is a big win for Cadiz because they got just one point in their last two matches. They were fortunate that they utilized the chances they had in the first half. In the second half, they did a lot of defending and they ended up not conceiving any goal. This win has moved them to the 15th position a little bit above the relegation zone which might be their main target this season. Their next match would be more difficult because they are playing against a more formidable side Athletic Madrid. But until then congratulations to Cadiz

Messi's current performance can get him a club in any top European side. Unlike Ronaldo that has lost some form due to his age, Messi is still on top of his game. But the kind of experienced Ronaldo is getting in Saudi Arabia would attract any player to the league. Ronaldo is receiving a royal treatment and Messi will even get better treatment. The money is also tempting that no player at Messi's age will overlook it. The transfer money Saudi can offer is even bigger than some countries' budgets. Messi might likely end up in Saudi Arabia at the end of his contract with PSG.

It is true we need money to survive but life is too short to spend on activities that don't bring joy and fulfillment. Life is not all about money or riches, happiness is more important. Working in a place that brings sadness or pressure can lead to health problems. If my new job is secured, able to pay my bills, and save some for investment, I would resign from the old job. And you will excel in your new job if you are passionate and live it.

What the Op is saying is that most casinos give bonuses to some customers that have not visited a casino for some time to attract them back. He thinks it might be a good idea to register in some casino and fail to be active for some time. He feels that there are possibilities that to bring you back, the casino firm can give you a bonus that you might use to gamble. He thinks it might be good to just register in as many casinos as possible and use these bonuses.

As long as you have the strength and time and it is not against the rules and regulations of these casino firms, it is not a bad idea.

Sam Bankman-Fried would go to jail because many of his accomplices are willing to testify against him in court. And I am sure that they have various documents or facts that can serve as concrete evidence. But his incarceration won't be long because he might not serve the entire prison term. It is possible he might be released on parole or might just get a presidential pardon.

The recent killing of Tyre Nichols by five American police in Memphis is raising more questions about the genuineness of the struggle against police brutality against blacks. This 29year old black FedEx worker, who was also an aspiring photographer was beaten by five all-black police officers and three days later he succumbed to injuries he sustained.

This senseless killing is clear proof that some of the killings of blacks by white officers are not racially motivated. I am not disputing the fact that some are connected to racism but not all are racially motivated. This is an indication that other factors are contributing to these killings.

Could it be that the United States trains its police to see blacks as potential suspects or criminals? They may be trained to perceive blacks as potential risks to the police. Like the killers claimed that he was reaching for their guns, which was unverified. This would make them treat blacks harshly or unfairly.

I am also suspecting that it might be possible that the lifestyle of some blacks has made the police generalize that every black man is a potential risk. This notion is reminding me of the killings of some Africans, mostly Nigerians in South Africa because it was generally believed that they were all engaging in criminal activities. This led to the death of many innocent Nigerians that were law-abiding and engaging in legal economic activities.

It might also be true that these actions might be a result of the individual behavior of these police officers. These officers might just be the bad eggs that are giving the American police a bad reputation.

It could also be that the killing of blacks by white policemen receives high publicity and are overblown to the extent that the root cause of it might be skipped. The press normally focuses on the racial aspect of the issues without giving attention to the major cause of the killings.

How would five black policemen mercilessly beat up a black man until he was mortally injured without sympathy or a brotherly love? It might be possible that white officers would have stopped them from this senseless killing.

It's true you make money when you sell but I usually compare the price/ worth of bitcoin with dollars. And there is always a feeling that your coin is appreciating.
As for my emotion I was a new bitcoin holder and gradually I became used to the price situation.

If we are not there yet, can I call it a mini bull run

This bull run is giving me and my friends so much joy. When we were accumulating people were mocking us. One even advised me to change my coin to Ustd but I kept the faith and was patient. Some are saying it is the bull run and others are saying it is a bull trap. Most people who have lost money are warning that this bull trap is to attract investors and there might be a fall in price because they think the bull run would start next year. Other bitcoin hardcores are saying that the bull is already in the bitcoin space.  

For now, I am enjoying the profit feelings because I knew bitcoin in the bear season, this is my first bull season. It was bad to look at your wallet and always discover that you have lost for months, it was emotionally stressful. Since I went through some emotional stress during the bear run, I must enjoy every bit of this bull season. Its good to look at your wallet and discover that you are making money doing nothing.

Happy bull run.

One unique feature of Bitcoin is that it always put social media acclaimed "experts" to shame. Sometimes these social media bitcoiners claim mastery over bitcoin. They indiscriminately predict its price as if they invented the coin with Satoshi. Even Satoshi now might not understand the price movement of Bitcoin because the creation is now economically powerful.

Through trial and error, some of them might have been predicted correctly in the past. And they have large followers that believe their analysis and follower their predictions.  One social media so-called expert recently shut down his social media platform because he predicted that bitcoin would keep falling until it goes into extinction. It was his followers that attacked him until he forcefully closed his page.

Happy bull run.

Bitcoin would never make any country the richest. One of the benefit of Bitcoin is that it gives the citizens a viable and superior financial transaction alternative. It can also free nations from external influence from global financial institutions like world bank. Every nation must ensure they develop other sectors of the economy because relying only on Bitcoin for economic growth is unacceptable. People should be gainfully employed, there should be good infrastructure,  less corruption and stable currency  in any country that wants to be rich.

Christianity and Islam has contributed to the development of Africa. It was these Europeans and Arabians that introduced education, technology and other positive innovation to the  African society. But these religious institutions also engaged or introduced some negative activities. Slave trade, exploitation, and discrimination are also products of religion. But currently, religion in Africa is causing more harm than good. Some African countries are fighting against jihadists and religious fanaticism. Religion has also caused violence or even wars that have led to the large-scale destruction of lives and properties. Without religion Africa wouldn't have been developed to this extent.

The mini-bull season has brought a lot of hope and confidence to the bitcoin ecosystem. At least some investors have been able to recover losses and others made some profit. But like you said all might not be well now or we are not out of the woods yet. But one thing is sure: bitcoin would survive these trying times and the bull market would soon emerge. But for now it is important to be patient.
