Wow, that is really strange. Someone living with so much money under their disposal could be more creative when deciding what to do with the time they have. Instead of living the stories of the novels on his imagination, he could be living real experiences on the real world.

That is actually the ironical part, because many people find themselves on the opposite situation: that is, they would like to live for real, but since they can't due to not having enough funds, their only comfort is to imagine how it should be through the lines of the novels and fictional stories.

It depends on what stage of the life they are. If they already have a career, their own houses, consolidated family, solid income I think it's not a waste, because they have struggled building every steps upside to be where they are now, so they deserve to enjoy life the best they can. If they think to drink and eat out are decent rewards for what they have achieved so far, let them do this without guilt.

Everyone needs some relief from times to times, and such lifestyles are the answer for many to not fall in boredom and sadness. We can't judge them for this kind of behavior.

Eu uso a Crypto.com. Eu sei que na hora da venda, eles jogam o preço do BTC bem pra baixo comparado ao valor de mercado no momento da transação. Da última vez que eu vendi uma quantia semelhante, no final eu tinha uns 8$ dólares a menos (ou seja, a taxa cobrada). Falei com o suporte e apenas me enrolaram. Disseram que é assim mesmo, que a taxa não tem precisão, varia conforme o momento...

Em outras palavras: cobram o que querem e não devem satisfação.

Gostaria de começar a negociar P2P, como muitos já aconselharam no fórum. Você compra os meus BTCs, @bitmover?

Yes, the man is looking for attention on his social media profile. Of course he isn't going to make an official agreement with anyone to place a bet like this, because it's nearly impossible bitcoin is going to cross the 1$ million dollars barrier on the next 90 days and he wouldn't dare to risk such amount of money.

The tactic of saying something absurd to get views on the internet is popular and widely used by a plethora of social influencers right now. By doing this, his profile is actived by the platform's algorithm more often, displaying him to potential followers. It's a smart marketing strategy, especially inside the niche of finances, since there are lots of users on these platforms looking for advices regard investments.

That is what in sciences people call determinism. Past events decide the present and the future. Everything follows a determined logic of continuous facts which trigger the following one endlessly.

Bringing this concept to bitcoin, we can mention the halving phenomenon, which happens every four years and push the currency's price to extremely high ATH levels each new time, guaranting to BTC a constant cycle of prosperity and allowing investors to profit from their initial investments on long term.

That is what history shows us and that is what we expect to continue happening next year, 2024, a very special halving year.

Quero fazer venda direta de Bitcoin por depósito de real na minha conta. Pode ser PIX.

Cansei de pagar taxas ocultas negociando BTC por fiat nas exchanges. Quando não são exorbitantemente caros, falta transparência nesses serviços.

Alguém se disponibiliza? Quantia pequena: 0.00426376BTC.

I believe it's not possible to handle the tournament every two years for FIFA, because it demands a lot of preparations. Furthermore, the scenario on soccer industry doesn't change a lot in 2 years, meaning it's very likely the results and performances will be very similar from the last edition.

Also, that is why there are so many different tournaments such Olympic games, Pan American games, internal championships on each countries... So the public doesn't get bored by a single event becoming repetitive.

Yes, this is the most likely reason for the recent bullish bitcoin's tendency, added to some whales who saw this as an opportunity to grow their holdings in a decisive moment for bitcoin market. Today MicroStrategy company, which is a whale, announced they are going to buy more 6.455 BTC for 150$ million dollars. That is just an example of how whales behave in such bullish markets and besides MicroStrategy there must be more of them.

On the other hand it means bitcoin gets more centralized on the hands of few investors, what isn't good for the long term sustainability of the currency's price.

It seems it was thanks to bitcoin that you were able to start your fish farm business, which will proportionate you an extra source of income for your family, that can be used to raise your life standards and to invest money in bitcoin for more earnings yet. If you are able to feed this cycle of prosperity continuously, you can still reach much ahead in your financial life yet. Good luck with your new business! That you may grow it a lot futurely!

If these individuals are concerned about AI and their destruction potential, why are they the main sponsors and enthusiasts of AI technology in the world? I believe they just fear something they can't control, and that is why they try to keep it under their control by developing it. However, as long as AI is controlled by them, it won't be an issue.

We will continue on the same path we have been. Technology gets more advanced, AI becomes more popular and present in our daily life on different sectors of society, their developers get wealthy and influent, nothing really changes regards status for the average citizen.

Although technolgy advances, the structure of society remains the same.

Supply is one of the most important aspects when choosing a token to invest. A high supply will make this token unlikely to achieve adoption (as other investors will not show interest for it) and superior price levels, due to the continuous set of tokens being put for sale on the market. The same is valid when there are high interest rates being offered over the token.

However, there is a powerful mechanism that must be noticed, which can potentially make a high circulating supply still worthful, that is the burning thing. If the burning rates (number of tokens which are destroyed from times to times, consequently decreasing supply) are decent, it's possible this token is still a good idea on long term.

Analyze each case separately. Identify every features presented to reach the best conclusion for yourself.

Bitcoin in self-custody can prevent this, but not when you are dealing with third party platforms, as the same method used by traditional banks can used, as we have seen with the scams involving Celsius and FTX. So solely using bitcoin as currency isn't enough. The P2P feature must be also applied in order to prevent you from having your money scammed.

On the other hand, the fact banks make profit this way and pay interest to their customers isn't a bad thing at all. The problem is when this practice isn't well executed for real. That is, when it's done irresponsibly by the banks and financial institutions, like on the examples mentioned above regard crypto universe.

When well executed, it's a very profitable kind of business for every parts involved.

I totally agree with you when you say new jobs will be created, so we don't need to worry AIs are replacing human activity on several fields of society. That is part of progress and we should be happy for that, as with technological development we have access to more resources and comfort in our lives. I believed humans had learned since a long ago machines aren't here to compete against us, but to serve us, however I see I was wrong, because there is still a popular point of view in our days claiming machines (AIs) are against us, prejudicing us in our working fields.

Yes, chasing losses is the same as looking for closure, because by seeking for a positive closure means he isn't going to stop playing until he makes profit from his gambling session. That is exactly what gamblers chasing losses do. However, instead of finishing the session in profit, they end losing the entire funds, going busted, as this kind of approach doesn't work effectively on most times.

So don't get distracted by terms like closure. After all they are so dangerous and impracticable as chasing losses.

I hope this is clear to you now.

Speculators trying to create a hype around a niche of society, which can proportionate them a loyal base for profit reasons.

In crypto universe it has never worked for real. There were and there are several attempts, but none of them are able to get enough support to become considerably influent and popular.

I believe there aren't strong principles, morals and goals behind such projects. It's simply a marketing strategy by developers to make profit for themselves. The world is already divided, anyway. It's not a cryptocurrency which is going to make this division worse.

There is a regulation in development right now in my country which will force gamblers to pay 30% of their winnings as taxes to the government, that is the same percentage of taxes someone who plays and win at the federal lottery also has to pay. Now they are increasing the range of effect of this law to online gambling as well.

In my opinion that is a very expensive tax, considering most gamblers won't be able to win on long run, and the few who will be able to do this, will have to give up 1/3 of their prize to the government, which didn't take any risks to grab that sum of money, while the gambler took all the risk by himself.

To improve support is a good usage for AIs in gambling platforms. Personally I think the automatic support from businesses and companies in general are pretty lame yet. Instead of solving the issue presented by the customer they make things more complicated, waste time, while annoying the person on the other side of the communication considerably. After all you always have to ask the bot or AI to put a real attendant on the chat to have the problem solved.

Maybe with the upgrade of AI support through the most recent technologies the services can become more efficient for the customers, what is also good for the casino, since they will solve issues faster with less human employees needed for that purpose.

There is going to be a technological revolution ahead that will impact jobs' industry a lot, just like it happened on the industrial revolution, which many criticize for replacing human labor by automatic machines, consequently destroying jobs spots and firing many employees.

However, that is something inevitable in this world. There are similar critics nowadays regards AI and technology in general, but again, that is something that will happen anyway, many jobs will be replaced by AI (especially at exact sciences fields) and nobody can stop that from happening.

That means human society will have to be creative to develop and launch new jobs opportunities and maybe new educational areas to allocate professionals who will lose demand on the market due to the technological advancement.

At the currently moment I don't see any evidences that could lead me to believe the future is looking good for P2E games industry. Of course in the future this niche of crypto market can shine, but it seems there isn't anything revolutionary being developed right now on this sense.

It may be due to the bearish market or it can be due to a lack of interest from big studios and alternative developers, since they can already profit a lot of money from in-game sales exclusively, so they see no reason to launch P2P games and the few who do, don't put a lot of effort on the games' projects to keep them sustainable on long term.

True. The university or the local government are more likely to lend money to the student or to offer him the option of paying in installments with really cheap interest rates or none at all, with the exception of the inflation adjustment which is done yearly.

It doesn't worth to borrow money in BTC on this forum for educational purposes. First, because he will need a decent collateral which has to be interesting for the virtual lender (very scarce options) and second because the interest rates will be much more expensive.
