221  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be accepted as a dominant currency in the future? on: October 02, 2023, 01:24:59 PM
The popularity of Bitcoin in the future will most likely increase and there will be more adopters compared to today. However the increasing popularity of Bitcoin will probably be a problem for governments because it will disrupt the distribution of fiat and it is likely that the majority of governments will not allow Bitcoin to become more popular. So I think whether Bitcoin will become the dominant currency in the future is quite unlikely because government regulations are increasingly strict. Moreover, until now most people treat Bitcoin like an investment instrument, so even though the adoption of Bitcoin is increasing it is not because Bitcoin is a currency, but an investment instrument with a good ROI.

Many governments have been accepting bitcoin more, so I don't think governments will find a way to limit its popularity. But I agree with you that they will not allow bitcoin to become popular as a currency, instead they will accept it and treat it as a commodity for us to trade and tax.

The government certainly won't let bitcoin become a currency, but what about investors like us? I also believe that many people are happy for bitcoin to become an investment rather than a currency. So, bitcoin's path to becoming a currency will be very difficult indeed.
222  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My regret for not adopting bitcoin earlier. on: October 02, 2023, 01:18:18 PM
I will do my best to promote bitcoin to the people around me, to the villages and communities around my region. I’m doing this so that people will get to know the truth as I don’t want others to have the regrets I have today. I want to give people the same opportunity that my friend gave me ten years ago. I will do my best and the choice is theirs to make. I will never give up on my quest to spread bitcoin to others. So help me God!!

I don't think you'll be able to do that. Who will believe you if you yourself have not achieved any positive results with bitcoin? If you want people to believe what you say, you first need to prove that you have invested in bitcoin and that it is bringing change to your life. Only then will people believe what you say is true, otherwise you are just wasting your time.

My advice, you should focus on changing yourself because it's never too late to start with bitcoin. Don't try to be a good person when you can't even take care of yourself.

By the way, I see you always repeat that you will help people understand bitcoin, but I don't see you mention that you invest in bitcoin, have you invested in bitcoin?

Lionel Messi missed the previous two matches. In this match, the home team must win 3 points to maintain hope of entering the Playoff. Without Messi, this team is significantly weaker and cannot win recent matches. If Messi cannot participate in the game, Leonardo Campana or Josef Martinez will play as a striker alongside Robert Taylor and Facundo Farias. I guess Messi is unlikely to play this match from the start, but he can still make a significant impact when coming off the bench. Inter Miami will increase their hopes of winning against New York City if Messi contributes to improving team spirit.
You are right and Inter Miami had to play this match without Lionel Messi, it seems he has not fully recovered from his injury, and Inter Miami could only get a draw in this match.
And I think if in the next few matches he still can't play then Inter Miami's chances will be even more closed because this team has quite a strong dependence on the Argentinian player, because it is clear that without his presence Inter Miami will start to get unsatisfactory results.

Yes, Inter Miami was lucky to draw 1-1 against New York City. On the day Messi did not play. They did not play well in this match and were led by New York City in the 77th minute. Fortunately, in the 90+5 minute, Aviles scored a valuable goal to help Inter Miami miraculously escape death.
But Messi is said to have determined the time to leave Inter Miami. Messi seems to have no intention of staying long with Inter Miami after his contract ends in 2025. Could this injury spark his thoughts of retiring from his career?

Inter Miami seems very difficult to improve their position in the MSL standings, so far they are still in the bottom two and their target is to reach the top 9 there is still a long way to go
Tomorrow Inter Miami will face New York City, after reportedly being injured and not defending his team in several previous matches, Lionel Messi is rumored to be returning to play in this match, and without his presence it seems that Inter Miami is indeed experiencing serious obstacles to winning, but injuries are difficult for players to avoid, especially when facing tight match and also a tight schedule.

The 3:1 in the minute 95 does not matter, 3 points would have been with the 2:1. Hoffenheim not used the chance in the last minutes, dortmund played better. They have changed to a system 5-2-2 for the best defense. Julian Ryerson made in his 100 game in the German League his 4 goal, for him a very nice evening. Now they are on place one in the league and bayern munich must play today in leipzig, I guess there is a draw, that would be enough for 1st place if leverkusen or stuttgart do not win.

Yes, both teams possess impressive attacks. Bayern is considered to have a higher chance of winning, but Leipzig still has a chance to win points in this match. Leipzig has shown incredible form recently and proved they are ready to become an annoying obstacle for Bayern Munich. A draw or defeat for Bayern at Red Bull Arena is possible. Earlier this season, Leipzig shocked by defeating Bayern Munich with a difference of 3 goals in the 2023 German Super Cup.
In this match, coach Thomas Tuchel and his team will do what is necessary to repay the debt and regain the top spot in the rankings. Kane will be an important new factor for them in this match.

I don’t think we are 100% sure that it will last forever, but rather we use it for a main purpose or we use it to create another way of earning money outside the crypto space, such as physical business or something similar to that, so that anytime we experience losses or bad times here, we can confidently go back there without suffering from financial problems.

In my opinion things are totally opposite. It is precisely the uncertainty in physical business and traditional investment methods that is pushing to invest in cryptocurrency. And when bad times come, such as an economic crisis, bank collapse or war, cryptocurrency can survive it and stand, since it is not tied to any national economy. Unlike a physical business, which will definitely feel the full impact of hard times.

What do you talking about? Traditional business and physical business are more uncertain than cryptocurrency?, LOL. A market that is only 14 years old and has a capitalization that is only 1/20 of the market capitalization of gold and will be nothing compared to traditional business, real estate or the stock market. So how can it be said to be more secure and certain? Besides bitcoin, which is considered the safest on the market, the remaining cryptocurrencies are nothing more than gambling, only used for hype and then disappear. Where do you find it safe?

You, me, and everyone who invests in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies want to get rich quickly from their volatility. They have never been safe but for profit we are taking more risks to get bigger profits.
227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is life on: September 29, 2023, 02:21:47 PM
I see a lot of people here comparing gambling games to bitcoins I think those who do this are mentally ill because bitcoin is recognized as the best coin in the world and we see everyone's future in bitcoin and bitcoin price is so low now that's why we  Let's all buy Bitcoin now and it will be very beneficial for our future.

-snip-
Valuable assets like bitcoin are not to be spent on activities that end in vain. Gambling with fiat currency whose value can change within a certain period most people avoid it, I can't agree with people who use bitcoin for gambling. Regarding gambling, do as you wish with good self-control.

OP, bitcoin has really helped a lot of people in finance. People who once owned bitcoin and experienced huge profits due to achieving ATH, until now they are still trying to adopt it more to hold it until a new ATH occurs again. When people's lives are helped by bitcoin, with all their efforts they will try to own bitcoin even though there is a ban.

Bitcoin is not gambling, Bitcoin is an investment and once it is called an investment, there will be profit or loss. Not everyone who invests in bitcoin will make a profit, and no one will lose. Bitcoin cannot alone increase in price and bring wealth to everyone, so it is not entirely true that bitcoin will help everyone. It will benefit those who grasp the opportunity and have the right knowledge about it, while those who invest blindly and greedily will have to bear the losses.
228  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Issue with Exodus app on mobile phone (android) on: September 29, 2023, 02:12:30 PM

Maybe Exodus have some issue at the moment with their Android App? Or it could be some issue with my phone.
Or my phone got some shit inside it, witch I highly doubt since I never share anything or download any shit at any time, never.



To know exactly what problem you're having, why don't you try resetting your phone and updating to the latest operating system version? If you continue to report errors, it is likely that the Exodus application is having problems and you should contact the developer directly to get the most accurate answer. By the way, checking for updates to the latest version of Exodus is something you should also not ignore. As long as your bitcoins are safe, I don't see anything serious here.
229  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Before You Send Your Bitcoin To Hardware Wallets I Do This! on: September 29, 2023, 02:04:40 PM

Also, make a habit of distributing your assets over many hardware wallets; do not keep all of your coins in one location.

Is this really an effective solution? Because the more wallets you have, the more time and effort you will spend storing more seed phrases. I don't think storing bitcoins in 2 or 3 hardware wallets is a good solution. As long as you can ensure the security of your seed phrase, using a hardware wallet is safe and trouble-free. Don't try to complicate things. Hardware wallet or non-custodial software wallet, whether it is safe or not, is completely up to you.

If Ancelotti leave Real Madrid, then there's a possibility he will back coaching the senior club.
I hope that we will able to see a fresh name like xabi or zerbi. These guys were good as they have been assembling their clubs now from the bottom.

Let's see who will be picked by real madrid soon. My guess is xabi alonso.

It is said that coach Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 and move to lead the Selecao. He is trying to help Real Madrid win more titles before leaving.
Xabi Alonso is the number 1 candidate for the hot seat at the Bernabeu. Xabi Alonso retired in 2017 and led the Real Madrid youth team. Xabi worked for 3 years at Real Sociedad B before moving to Bayern Leverkusen. He is helping Leverkusen sublimate in the Bundesliga this season. As for Brighton's Zerbi, he has also become a bright name who can replace Ancelotti to lead Real Madrid next season. Zerbi has left a strong impression on Brighton recently. Under coach De Zerbi's guidance, Brighton continues to show that they are an unpleasant opponent for every team.
Xabi or Zerbi are two very suitable names, but they may need more time to be ready for this position and want to stick with their old team for a long time. Real Madrid should consider Raul Gonzalez or Alvaro Arbeloa if they cannot have the above two coaches.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ballon d'Or discussion and odds on: September 29, 2023, 06:12:13 AM

I'm already tired of listening to tales about the World Cup and its importance  Grin
Maybe you can explain to me how Xavi and Iniesta, who won the 2010 World Cup (where Messi completely failed - zero goals and zero assists) did not receive the Ballon d'Or?  Roll Eyes And in addition to this, Xavi and Iniesta won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012. But Messi (who was unsuccessful at the 2011 Copa America) received four Ballon d'Ors.

What I can say is that from 2008 - 2017 was the era of Messi and Ronaldo's rivalry. I think this was a bias so that at that time people only saw 2 people as great players who deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. At that time they both dominated the world of football statistically. That period was also a period of rivalry between the two of them. I think that's what made the Ballon d'Or in that era only have the names of 2 players.

Apparently you are far from football or haven’t seen it carefully  Wink
No one will probably argue about the era (although there is an obvious question about the boundaries of this era), but if we are talking about separate years, then many football players could qualify for the Ballon d'Or . For example, in 2010, besides Xavi and Iniesta, about whom I already wrote, such football players were Sneijder and Forlan (I’m sure few people will remember why, haha, because people are guided by what the TV tells them).

I won't explain why Messi received those golden balls. Messi surpassed Xavi, Iniesta, and even his rival Ronaldo to receive the Golden Ball in those years continuously. This is fair, and there will be no bias here. People are skeptical because he has so many Golden Ball titles in his career. Even the recent World Cup championship was the focus of everyone's discussion.
Even though he moved to Inter Miami this summer, Messi is still a strong candidate for the 2023 Golden Ball title. If he continues to hold this title, I'm curious to see what other stories the media will come up with.
232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 28, 2023, 11:48:33 AM
I dislike gambling addiction, drinking and being irresponsible in how we gamble, there's a way that is expected of us to appear with being a modest gambler, not everyone could go wrong the same way others do, we need to realize that we have the capacity to control every gambling activities we engage doing and same also do people keep seeing the way we behave while gambling even when they appears unknown to us, there's an expectation on us to gamble responsibly and this will be to our own profit and other's will admires same with us.

A lot of people will dislike addiction because gambling will become a daily routine, It is good when you have fun but allowing it to exceed the limit then it will become a problem, being that everything is difficult people don't want to look back they fully believe gambling will take them out of poverty and they keep trying their luck instead of enjoying it. the capacity that everyone has in terms of control is the best to have limit but when it comes to addiction people can not even help themselves anymore. gambling responsibly will save us from plenty of things and show signs of maturity in gambling.

People who gamble still do not learn about gambling addiction. Gambling addicts significantly affect themselves and those around them. Therefore, responsible gambling is the top factor that must be present before we gamble. Don't lose your social relationships over a game. Your friends, family members, wife, and children will shun you if you are too addicted.
I witnessed my close friend fall into a gambling addiction. His wife and children decided to leave him to find a better life.

Midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is playing for MU on loan from Fiorentina. For the first time, MU won 2 consecutive victories in the match against Sofyan Amrabat, promising to create momentum for the midfield. Rookie Sofyan Amrabat will make a valuable central pair with Casemiro if they get along well. Amrabat's energy helps Casemiro, Mount, or even Bruno Fernandes, and the attacking players benefit. Although he plays as a lefl-back, Amrabat is allowed to play freely. Even though it's not his forte position, he wants MU to have more choices. Everything is excellent, and he can play any role the team needs. Perhaps he is the final piece of the puzzle for MU to turn the situation around.

I still remember some of the project I invested in, and I can say the same that most of those project was turns into dust. They always promise something big like 'the next Bitcoin' or 'better than Ethereum' but none of them could deliver the promised product. This investment mostly happened on the ICO boom like 4 years ago, tho there might be some projects that actually booming, and the profit is quite satisfying, I still learned from those mistake, and now like more than 80% of my portfolio is on Bitcoin, and I barely invest in any new project.
Bitcoin never offers such a thing but altcoins do especially new projects. And you are the one for those fake believers and those who think always about money and rewards.

That is the reason why we should not just look upon their promises and big rewards but we must look is the use case of the project. Of course, being developers will attract investors in order to make a profit, and one of the most effective strategies is to promise them something attractive...Those greedy individuals and lack of market experience will usually fall into the wrong investment.

Use case?
That is the jargon they use in luring people into their scam. If you read the whitepaper of most of them, you might likely be deceive into thinking they are building something workable. They spend so much money hiring supposed experts and contracting celebrities most times to improve the marketing. At the end of getting the funding they needed, it is usually from one excuse to  another. I remember projects claiming to be building an ecosystem for global waste collection. They packaged this so well that people actually thought they were serious. As usual, they collected the money and rolled out series of excuses before people counted their losses and moved on.

Have you noticed that most of those shitcoins promoters that claim to have a product usually list their token in exchanges even before the product is ready? If they actually planned to build a real product, they would have waited until the product is ready and in use before they list their token.


And that is also the difference between bitcoin and shitcoin. Bitcoin was never advertised by Satoshi as bringing profit, bringing wealth to anyone, he only said that it will bring us freedom and no longer be censored by anyone or not must depend on a third party. Meanwhile, I have not seen any altcoin claim that they are bringing technology to change the world, instead they always talk about profits. It can be said that they openly scam us, but most of them don't pay attention.
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 26, 2023, 06:53:59 AM
I don't think the English Premier League will be surpassed by anyone, it is not only the most popular but also the strongest, no other league has so many strong teams. As far as popularity goes, I think the SPL has outdone itself, it will find it harder and harder to gain popularity. The most important thing is that it doesn't lose popularity completely, so that it's not just a one-off incident lasting two years
It's funny when comparing Saudi Pro League to European competition, it's weigh out of the picture. For instance, which football lover will overlooked a clash between North London derby game, or better Manchester City vs Liverpool clash and settle for some Al Nassr and Al Hilal game, ofcourse its not appropriate, and in the first place, these SPL clubs signed European players inother for their league to become popular in the world of football. The English Premier League is an elite one and popular because of the big names and competitive clubs that anticipates in the competitive race.

The heat of the Saudi Pro League is just the unbelievable salary of the players on the other side of the career slope. It doesn't attract viewers at all. The Premier League is an empire that has existed for a long time. They have built a good name and quality. Here, we not only see stars competing to shine but also see the strategies of good coaches. I feel like a storybook. Creating one surprise after another, We watched spectacular performances and goals. We are witnessing how an ordinary team destroyed a group of all-stars thanks to their coach's tactics.
The Saudi Pro League still needs to do more to put itself on the table with the Premier League.
237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: September 26, 2023, 05:18:27 AM
Now let's be sincere, will you also classify a successful gambler as an addict?
In fact, he's not an addict at all. Despite dedicating a significant amount of time and energy to gambling, he maintains excellent control in every game. Gambling always favors those who can manage their emotions and finances effectively.

Some may still doubt that gambling can lead to success. But success doesn't always have to mean wealth, does it? Observing someone with a high win rate in gambling is also a form of success, right? However, those who profit significantly from the gambling industry as players are able to control their emotions and avoid becoming immersed in continuous gameplay. They truly exercise self-control, not allowing the casino to control them.

Well, I still want to know the answer: how are successful people in gambling defined? Someone who wins a lot of money or knows how to control themselves when gambling.
Addiction is a relapsing disease of the brain that can manifest as a craving for a substance or behavior. They pursue compulsively or obsessively and without regard to the consequences. Thus, addicts will have to suffer severe consequences. Therefore, I would not consider people who are successful in gambling to be addicts because they have won and are in control of their actions.

Use case? So can you tell me if there are any cryptocurrency projects that have been put into practical use yet? Or is it all just empty theories or empty promises that they often say? In my opinion, investing in altcoins is speculation. If you have made profits, you should take profits and ignore them immediately. There are no projects with practical applications or any technologies that bring benefits to society. So far, only bitcoin can be used as a means of payment and store of value, the rest are just rubbish for speculation and gambling. If you want to invest in technology, it's best to learn about real growing technology companies out there, don't believe what crypto projects say.
239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Earnings on: September 25, 2023, 01:03:32 PM
This is the wrong thinking of many people. Knowledge is the foundation of every path to success, but that does not mean that having knowledge will help us succeed. If OP wants to invest in bitcoin, of course knowledge is needed, but don't expect that just by having knowledge you can easily make a profit. Just like having a college degree does not mean we will get a high-paying job. It all depends on how we apply that knowledge into practice.

Furthermore, OP, if you want to start trading, it is really a big challenge and learning knowledge without practice will be useless. Therefore, in addition to focusing on improving knowledge, OP should also use a minimum amount of capital to get used to everything.
Having knowledge is not enough if we haven't put the knowledge we have into practice on what we have learned, the knowledge we have gained will be very different if we have faced it in reality, it takes a lot of experience so that we are experts in the knowledge we have learned. If we have mastered it well and have enough experience, we will be able to produce what we do.
I really agree with your suggestion that starting trading with little capital is a good strategy if we are just starting out so that we can understand it slowly and get profits from trading.

The reason why I advised him to start trading with minimal capital, other than understanding it slowly, I'm pretty sure that losses in trading are inevitable in the first days. Therefore, we should only use the smallest amount of capital to avoid big losses as well as use that money to exchange for lessons and experiences that no book can teach us. No one can win or make a profit in the first days of trading, once you participate in trading, you must accept losses before thinking about profits.
240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 25, 2023, 06:22:41 AM
Real Madrid's defeat to Atletico Madrid 3-1 really made us realize that no matter how good ball possession is, if you don't have a sharp striker, then it's really in vain. Not only will they not be able to face other big teams later in the UCL, Even against Atletico Madrid they couldn't penetrate Atletico's back line strongly.
I said a while ago that Madrid would gradually lose ground with a formation like this. There was no striker with the ambition to score goals, making Atletico Madrid enjoy a very entertaining match. Like it or not, this defeat made Barcelona lead at the top of the standings, followed by Girona who unexpectedly could be consistent and be in second place.

In my opinion, if Barcelona occupied the top of the standings, it would be difficult for any club to catch up. This season Madrid will experience many problems, whether they realize it or not, the fact that if there are no senior players like Kross, the fans worries will become even more real.
Real Madrid should have been the team that controlled the match, but the result disappointed the fans. In this match, coach Diego Simeone and his team won thanks to their sharp "header" weapon. I don't think they're that good at aerial combat. Toni Kroos's honorable goal was all Real could do.
The most significant difference is that star Jude Bellingham is absent, with no assists or shots. His only highlight was a yellow card at the end of the match after a harsh tackle. The attack faced many difficulties without Vinicius due to injury. The whole team needs him to recover quickly.
