This happened to you because you have deleted most of your posts. Anyone who has an activity of 500, and his posts are 600, now if this user removes 150 posts from his overall posts than his activity will automatically drop to 450 because he has deleted those 50 posts that had gained him activity points in past. The activity system works on two week basis, and is limited to 14 activity points per two weeks, a user who makes  14 posts in those two weeks will gain 14 activity points only, and that's how this forum's activity system works. If the same user deletes those 14 posts after gaining the activity points then those points will be removed as well with removed posts.

The user who has 5000 posts and having an activity of 2000 can delete 3000 excess posts, but still there won't be any impact on his activity points, however if he deletes 200 more posts then his activity will be 1800 instead of 2000. Your activity reduced because you have deleted most of your posts, and the posts that remained on your profile were the only ones with activity points. You will have to gain those activity points like a normal user once again, and it will take you a long time. If I'm not wrong then a user can gain 365 activity points per year, and you'll need more than 2 years to gain your activity points back.

I have viewed the user's post history and it seems that he has taken loan from you multiple times previously and paid the loan with interest. However, this time I think something wrong might have taken place in his life. The guy seems to be an honest person because his/her post history shows that, but still he defaulted the loan, and that's not a good thing at all. I'm sorry for your loss buddy, I have seen that you have faced many losses because of such users. I hope that in future the users wont do such things with an honest lender like you. I'm still not sure that if the guy is a scammer or not, but I'm also supporting you with flag against him until he pays your money back.

I don't do soccer betting but I have won many bets on Cricket. The losses I mainly had were from e-sports because the teams that I betted for were doing very good in first round, however their gameplay went wrong after 2nd and 3rd rounds. I betted on Dota 2 and CS:GO mostly, and lost in both of the games. I supported favorite teams and I lost the bets, however, I have noticed that in e-sports betting sometimes we can win huge multipliers if we bet on weaker teams. They can win the games out of no where because you don't expect them to win the games, however in final round, weaker teams mostly win the game.

Whatever you said is true about Stake, but the OP is also right in his place. As he simply sent them his driving license and other KYC requirements but still the Stake team is holding the money of the OP. The Stake team should reduce their KYC requirements because many gamblers could face bad times with such long lasting procedures. The OP has been waiting for 3 long months and he is still not able to withdraw his money. We should wait for a response from Stake team because only they know that what's going on with the OP. The problem could be because of the usage of VPN, but still that isn't confirmed yet. I'm quite sure that Stake team will resolve the issue very soon, and the OP will be able to withdraw his money without any issues.

I know very little about that guy because I don't live in UK and that's why I'm not aware of his political career. But, after reading your post, and doing some research about Nigel Farage, I found out that he was badly attacked by the government as they closed all his personal and business accounts, and I believe that anyone who talks about something that's against the rules of a government, and central banks faces such kind of treatment. Although, I'm still suspicious that if the guy was favoring Brexit process then why they are treating him this way?

I'm pretty sure that he has learned his lesson that even doing everything for banks and governments you will still have to face hard times. I'm also very sure that the guy will give up on the banking system because he didn't received the rewards for his sacrifices, but was punished for the sins that he hasn't done. I'm very sure that Nigel Farage will move to Bitcoin and he will give up on those traditional banking systems for good, and he will be a very helpful figure for the growth of Bitcoin. Let's see what the future holds for us and how many of Nigel Farage like bank account holders will be kicked by the banking system if they believe in the freedom of speech. Only and only Bitcoin is the savior of such people, and I'm pretty sure that one day almost everyone will use Bitcoin.

That's somewhat true, but my friend I'm pretty sure that Bitcoin's price will far exceed the $100k price mark. Those people who invest in Bitcoin when it's price is at $100k will have to hold their investment if out of sudden the market crashes and the value of Bitcoin dumps. The good companies know the volatility of Bitcoin, and they only invest in Bitcoin the money that they don't need for more than 4 years.

The newbie investors who invest in Bitcoin when its price is at peak will have to know a fact that Bitcoin can dump anytime from its all time high, and they should study the market properly before investing their money into Bitcoin. However, I must say that the ones who believe in Bitcoin will never get panic if the value of Bitcoin drops to $50k after reaching $100k because they know that Bitcoin can again crosses that $100k price mark, and it can even reach $1 million or more in price after a decade or two.
 

I don't think that prayer will work for Bitcoin because faith in Bitcoin and faith in any religious beliefs are far apart from each other. Even if a person performs his/her payers regularly there is still no chance that anything will change in the world of Bitcoin. Although faith is important in life you should have faith in Bitcoin that it will grow very high in value, and I'm sorry but worship can prayers doesn't affect the price of Bitcoin.


That's a very important thing to consider when you are investing in Bitcoin because if you don't manage your money then you can be in risk of devaluing your investment. Everyone knows that Bitcoin and crypto-market is highly volatile, and if someone invests a lot of money into Bitcoin without accepting the fact that it can go down in value sometimes then the user is at a huge risk of devaluing his/her capital for many months. However, I still believe that anyone who invests in Bitcoin will be on safe side if he/she is holding the investment for a long term.

I think Joselu has scored many goals against stronger teams and there is no doubt that he will continue to be a good striker, but I also agree that Real Madrid may need another striker who can score more goals for the club. In that case the most important player they want to have on their side is Mbappe, and everyone knows how good he is at scoring goals. I'm pretty sure that Real Madrid can't lose this player because if any other club signs contract with him then the things could be tough for Real Madrid. Ancelotti is very sure that Kylian Mbappe is a very skilled striker and if he somehow misses this player then many other clubs will sign the contract with him.

You are right in this regard but brining Mbappe would cost huge transfer fees to Real Madrid team, the guy is dam expensive and he is among the top class strikers currently, and that's why every club want to have him in their squad. I have also heard that Mbappe isn't interested in extending his contract with PSG, and that could be a helpful thing for Real Madrid. The Joselu is a good replacement for Benzema, but I think Real Madrid will need another striker to give tough gameplay to opposing clubs. The only good candidate for their squad is Mbappe and if he agrees to sign contract with Real Madrid after his contract is over with PSG then Ancelotti will be among the happiest man.

You don't need to create separate replies because you can quote both posts and reply them in a single response.

I don't think that it's a good idea to do something like this because it's a fact that Bitcoin is way more volatile than gold, and the volatility could be the cause of huge gains or losses within shot period as compare to gold. The gold isn't that much volatile and that's why it many not lose or gain a lot of value in short period. This type of experiment will favor gold if the crypto market dumps, and it will only favor Bitcoin if crypto market pumps.  Such type of studies will most probably favor gold as a less volatile and secure asset.

The result will most probably be in favor of gold because if this study is for short period, and unfortunately Bitcoin gets another dump in coming days then the value of their holdings that are in Bitcoin will be way lower than the ones they have in gold. Let's say if they have allocated $25k for gold and $25k for Bitcoin, and if an unsudden market crash takes place, and the value of Bitcoin goes back to $27k then the value of their holdings in Bitcoin will be $22,140, and that would be very low as compare to the holdings they have in gold.

Well you are somehow right about the corruption thing and that's really happening everywhere these days. The leaders who have political power and are in a good rank at any government sector are misusing their powers for material things. You thought that those leaders earn money legally because they have power however you later found out that they were accumulating the money only with the help of corruption. That's now a days a fact in the world of politics because almost any rich politician who is a democrat earns money with malicious ways because they can't make that much money fairly. Unfortunately, many people want to join government sector only for material desires, and they don't care about public.

The ones who follow non-corrupt ways are often the ones who face hardships in governmental sector because they will always be pressurized to allow corrupt things otherwise they will be destroyed. I believe that fictional movies often show the reality of the real world because they often show us in the form of movies that how a good democrat is destroyed, and they also show us that the ones who didn't follow the orders of the government could face way hard times. The governmental sector is truly a hard job for anyone, and if they are very transparent then they will either be out of job or they won't be able to play their role the way the wanted to play.

You are right that it's better to choose a trusted casino instead on relying on the ones which can scam us. The trusted casinos are transparent with their games and they don't do any scamming because their business model is to stay for longer periods rather than for few months. I can trust only those casinos which have transparent and fair betting models because the ones that aren't known for fair betting won't be any good for me, and they can scam the users anytime. I have been having some good betting experience with few well known casinos which are in the list of trusted ones, and I can surely say that their betting results have been very fair so far. I would avoid the the shady casinos at any risk because no one wants to put their money in the hands of the ones who can take it and run away with it.

The match is ending now and team Oman did their best against a super tough team like Zimbabwe, however they aren't going to win this match of Odi. From the current statistics Oman team needs at least 26 runs in 4 balls which is super impossible, and that's why I'm more than 100% sure that team Zimbabwe is the winner of the match. They will surely play well against Scotland in the coming match because in my eyes team Zimbabwe and team Sri Lanka are the strongest teams this time. My expectations were very high with West Indies team, but they lost the match against Netherlands, and I think they weren't giving their best.

Past is past and it should not affect our present or future. Our past decisions are gone long ago and if we stuck with those past experiences then our future can't be bright. Life is a journey my friend and in this journey we will have to face good and bad times, but I have noticed a thing that in bad times very few people really care about you while most of the people don't even care about anything that happened to you. We should work day and night in our young age in order to have a better future for us.

The good experiences make us happy while the bad experiences teach us life lessons. It's our own decisions and our actions that could impact our life in a better way or worse way. I agree with you that moving forward is needed and it's our own experience that could teach us life lessons. I believe that a person can only be financially free if he/she works hard and no matter how hard the life is they still stick with their plans. The same is true for the ones who invest in Bitcoin, if they have patience and they hold their Bitcoin then they could have financial freedom in future, however if they don't hold for long time and sell in fear then they will regret about their decisions when its price reaches highest levels.

No worries because you finally learnt about this forum and you still got the opportunity to learn about Bitcoin from the reputed members of the forum. It's always important to let go of the past mistakes because if we start regretting about our past wrong decisions then we won't be able to progress in this life. Many people have missed the opportunities in Bitcoin's time and later on in other crypto-currencies. However, I must say that you aren't late in getting involved into Bitcoin because even in its current price Bitcoin is quite cheap. In future Bitcoin can be worth in millions, and if we don't accumulate Bitcoin in this time then we will regret once again when Bitcoin's price crosses $1 million price value.

I recommend you to let go of past and start thinking about present opportunities. This forum is the best place in the world because here people won't misguide those who have no knowledge about Bitcoin, but they will instead guide them about Bitcoin in the most proper way possible. Many people have missed opportunities in past, and if they regret about past even if they are still in good health then those people won't be happy even if they earn millions of dollars per year. We should always be grateful for what we have, and we should never be dishearten by our past decisions.

Payment received on time! I have viewed the spreadsheet, and I will try to improve my posting pattern this week. Thanks you!

You are right Sri Lanka is still quite tough team for Netherlands because the Sri Lankan bowlers are in their best form and they could give a hard time to Netherlands batsmen. If we closely examine the previous matches of Sri Lanka then we can easily see the performance of Sri Lankan batsmen as they have played very well in their previous matches, and I expect same performance from them in the coming match. Team Sri Lanka will do their best against Netherlands because they will have to be so tough to win this match.

On the other hand team Netherlands is also in good form and we can't neglect their last match's performance. The team Netherlands has played very well against West Indies and they have won the match against a tougher team. But, this time they will have to face one of the toughest teams of the season. Let's see what they will do against team Sri Lanka, but I'm still sure that team Sri Lanka will most probably win this match. However, anything can happen in this match because team Netherlands sometimes show exceptional performance, and if they show such performance in the coming match then Sri Lanka will have a tough time.

They are truly some misguided souls who want to loot the money of those investors who aren't well aware of crypto-currencies, but delved into this sphere because of their greed. The investors want to earn a lot of money in short amount of time, and those scammers take advantage of those greedy investors greed, and in the process they loot the money out of wallets of those newbie investors.
 
Such scammers are on every social media platform these days. I have seen such type of scams on Facebook, and the scammers were using Facebook ads to attract users to a platform where a user can earn huge Airdrops of many newly launched coins The worst thing about those scams is that they force the users to invite their friends if they want to get the Airdrops in their wallets. I even saw such sites where they had proper implementation of Metamask, and they were asking users to connect their Metamask wallet to earn the rewards.

A bot is codded by a programmer to follow his/her commands and it will do whatever the developer coded into it. For example if a programmer need to automate a task like betting then he/she already has a working strategy that they have tested for many times, now they just create a code using a programming language, and give this bot access to their account. The bot will only bet if the requirements of the strategy are met otherwise it won't bet at all. This type of approach basically work to automate the tasks, but it could cause huge losses if anything goes wrong.

On the other hand, an AI is a type of software that works by learning a strategy and getting good at it over time. For example a programmer is well aware of a working strategy that has a win rate of 50%, and the programmer doesn't have enough time to improve their strategy, in such case a programmer makes an AI software that will test the strategy by betting many times, and with each success the AI will get a reward, and with each failure the AI will get a punishment. This type of learning is known as Reinforcement learning, and it could really be useful when AI is trained for more than 10000's of bets, and still it won't be 100% accurate because the casino can change their Algorithm anytime, and the AI has to go through the same training process once again.
