It's your friend's fault for hiding it with his wife. I understand why his wife acted that way cause what's the point of being married when your husband is hiding things from you that he gambles and he never shared his winnings with his wife. Also, his wife might just be worried about him getting addicted to gambling. At least, your friend chooses his wife and not gambling.

As for me, I never experienced being threatened although I'm open to my family that I gamble online. They know that I really don't gamble that often and that I don't spend too much money on it. Tho it may not be applicable to everyone, but as long as you're honest and open it won't be a problem to your family or your SO.
I don't know if you are married or not but I think even in an open relationship it is not everything that the husband tells the wife, every man has some kind of skeleton under their cupboard well I don't think I will blame the husband here as am  also a victim of keeping my gambling habit a secret from spouse. I understand why the wife acted like that because she was shock by the massive win the husband had but in a fair sense the man must have also been loosing so I guess his action are justified and I think if am ever faced in such conditions I think me and everyone in their right senses will choose their family over a gambling hobby.

Of course, it is not unreasonable to teach children about Bitcoin, the use of Bitcoin, the growing demand for the future of Bitcoin, etc. I think discussion on Bitcoin, topical discussion should be included in primary and secondary education level. If a child can learn about Bitcoin in addition to other education at an early age then this little child of today will become very experienced on Bitcoin in the future.  Moreover, countries where Bitcoin has been legalized should universally include a subject category on Bitcoin in the syllabus. All these subjects have already started to implement, for example EL Salvador has introduced education and courses on Bitcoin at the university level as well as higher education.
The world is a fast place where things tend to evolve very fastly and with the current trend of bitcoin taking over the financial world it is only advisable that everyone moves with that trend. El Salvador making bitcoin a legal tender is prove that bitcoin has grown very big and in the coming years more country will also troop in this trend of new money so actually teaching the children about it is like giving them an upper hand since they are the ones that are referred to as the future.

Brighton deserve to play in Europa league going by brilliant performance in the league, I predicted their match against Man City knowing how strong the club is this season I knew they give Man City a run of their money in yesterday match, they really merit the Europa league spot and had been a formidable opponent to the so-called top teams, I hope the club board and management recruit or sign new quality players so as to cope with the task of playing both Europa league and EPL respectively and with Roberto De Zerbi in charge the club will represent EPL well in Europa league.
Manchester City is the Champion in England and now the play only for more points and goals. They dont give 100% i think. They still have two important games and every player should be fit for them. No one should get injured in a game like this, that would be disaster. On 03.06. the FA Cup final and on 10.06. the Champions League final are the most important games. Yesterday the game and the one on 28 May are maybe like training games. You could see that in the line-up, Ederson didn´t play. I think Citys line-up on 28.05. will also bring a few surprises.
Manchester city are already champions but its better to finish with a very impressive record in the season but I think like you said guardiola wouldn't want to gamble on all his players health and open them to a possible injury because that would affect them badly because they still have two very important matches which I think their city rivals Manchester united would try all their possible best to stop that from happening in the FA cup final.
2606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 25, 2023, 06:57:05 AM
I'm not sure but I think if Macnshter City wins the game in the final match against Inter Milan they should be thankful to their coach, Guardiola. Because before Guardiola gets didn't have a performance like this to beat strong teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with good results.
However, I think the odds for Inter Milan are high enough and tempting for most people to bet on Inter Milan instead of Macnshter City which can be a risky bet.
Pep Guardiola is an experienced coach and has brought several big clubs to the top of glory. Pep Guardiola has even presented 14 trophies for Barcelona (2 Champions League trophies) and 7 trophies for Bayern. In the English league, Pep Guardiola has also made Manchester City have many trophies in the local league. it's just that for the UCL trophy it wasn't until last season. Maybe this season is an opportunity for Pep Guardiola to present the UCL trophy for Manchester City for the first time. And I'm really looking forward to it.
Its quite unfortunate that pep guardiola hasn't been able to secure the champions League but every other trophy his  team has been excellent in performance. Pep guardiola is one of the coaching icons in today's modern football and this year is just a perfect year to complete all lost glories as they are looking to complete a treble and he will definitely be nominated for the best coach of the season.

*The match is over. Brighton 1-1 Man City.

Now apart from Manchester City maybe it's Brighton who gets congratulated on their slick achievement this season.
With today's draw against Manchester City it has been confirmed that they will progress to the Europa League next season and it is a very good achievement for Zerbi in his first season at Brighton as coach. In addition, this is the first time they are in the Europa League and of course this makes the fans proud because they have finally reached this position. I was actually a bit doubtful at the start of the season because apart from their coach leaving a lot of their core players left but Brighton have exceeded my expectations this season.
I think this surprise expectation of this Brighton teams goes for everyone because nobody actually taught that they can make it this far and at the end of everything they have successfully secured a Europa league spot which is a great achievement for this Brighton team. But I feel the reason why Brighton actually secured a draw today is because this Manchester city team are already champions of England and needs to rest some vital player for their big match ahead.

Your boy LFC_Bitcoin hits 20,000 posts here on bitcointalk. 20,000 posts and 7146 Earned Merit, maybe I need to go outside a bit more Grin Cheesy

10 years in bitcoin now, it’s been a real journey and will continue to be. Bitcoin has given me everything, it’s one of the best things that ever happened to me. Being an early adopter gave me opportunities I never would have had otherwise. I’ve really enjoyed myself on the forum too and made some real life friends.

Congratulations good sir on this great achievement and when I come to look at your stats it kinda scares me and also motivates me to seeing that such great achievements is actually attainable. Must have been quite difficult on your way here but no matter the strides you were still able to achieve such impressive work. This journey is a big one for everyone but seeing such achievement here in the forum is what keeps most of us going and knowing fully well that we might all get there someday. Your contribution to  this Wonderful community has been immense and hope that you continue and keep adding value through your various works and post here in the forum.

Congratulations once more and I believe this is also the start to your achievements.

Op you were too hurry to create the bitcoin pizza celebration thread if not the date you created the thread has not reached the pizza day. You created the thread on    
May 21, 2023, 09:43:12 PM original time the thread was created
Last edit: May 21, 2023, 10:07:28 PM  edited time the thread was created. And being today which is the 22nd of May, 2123 is the original Bitcoin Pizza Day. Therefore, you over rush the thread.
I think its probably because of his timezone and that of the forum time, I have a reason to believe his is from Bangladesh and the time their is actually five to six hours ahead of the time here so he might have posted it at the actually date of the celebration which is the 22 of may. But notwithstanding, its all part of the celebration and that first transaction that Laszlo did with bitcoin actually marked and pave the way for many more transaction with bitcoin till date and its has certainly been a milestone since that first recorded purchase @13 years and counting .

Happy bitcoin pizza day to everyone but I guess its already past now Grin
2610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: May 23, 2023, 06:23:22 PM
-cut-
So is gambling debt one way or other possible without the person taking loan or borrowing money?
I am not sure how regular your friend was in there but big spenders that come back regularly probably have some credit in some physical casinos where you can even get to know the staff. I know that there's a team following big spenders and it just serves casino's interest to give them credit so they keep on playing. As they know they are good for it later.

Then there's obviously credit card i can use, but regular guys would be laughed out from the casino if they started to ask about loan for gambling.
I think thats exactly the way most physical casino over here in my region actually operate and I believe it to be a general thing because if a customer keeps patronizing a casino and he well known on his huge spending, the staff and the management, I think will probably allow him to play on credit because he  sure contributes a certain percent to the growth of the casino and he is guaranteed to pay since he alway plays in that casino but denying him can lure him to another casino and will result to a potential loss for the casino.
2611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 23, 2023, 06:13:56 PM
Aston Villa, who are currently in 6th place in the standings, are certainly very happy because next season they can play in the conference league, but actually they still have one chance to defend that place, especially since their closest competitors such as Spurs and Brentford have the opportunity to shift their position in last game of the week.

But in the last match of the week Aston Villa will be against Brighton who are currently locking in a place for the European league and it seems that Brighton will not sit idly by to maintain its current place. On the other hand, if Aston Villa loses then it is very likely that Spurs or Brentford can get a place in the conference league and that will be very detrimental for Aston Villa.
Aston Villa is likely to find it difficult to maintain their ranking at the end of this season. Because against Brighton is the most difficult thing at the moment. Brighton have had a very good game in their last few weeks. So it is possible that Aston Villa will lose points in their last match. And I think Tottenham have a bigger chance to move Aston Villa's ranking. Because only Tottenham have a fairly easy match against Leeds. Meanwhile, Brentford seems to have little hope in their last match. Because Brentfors actually had to face the strongest team this season, namely Man City.
With the season almost at the end most games we feel
 are going to be easy games can actually turn out to be difficult matches especially if you are paired with a team from the relegation zone, I believe  they are the most dangerous teams to play now so no game is actually an easy game for any team and with Tottenham desperate to finish the season in a good position they will just have to up their game and try and win their remaining matches because the league is in period of surprise winning from unexpected teams.
2612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: May 23, 2023, 06:04:17 PM
For me, it's hard to bring gamblers in crypto. When you make gamblers enter online crypto casino, they will just focus on gambling but won't probably interested in discovering more about crypto. Gamblers may understand the risk, but will they understand when to stop? How to control their greeds?
Maybe it's your way, but I haven't invited gamblers to online crypto casino cause I don't want to be involve when that person becomes addicted. I don't want to be the one influencing others to be addicted on online casino
Yeah I agree with you mate, I don't support the notion of bringing someone into gambling especially when it has to do with it crypto but I can only do that if he or she is someone I know very well that has a way of control towards his gambling habit because a gamble with no control is better left to stay off gambling because he or she can easily be addicted to the act and it would result to the destruction of the person.
2613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: May 23, 2023, 05:52:41 PM

In this scenario, I will not accept the father's decision; the fact that he got his money via hard labor does not automatically imply that all of his children should follow in his footsteps. I believe that everyone has their own destiny, and that God can choose to bless anyone in whatever way he sees fit, and that this could be God's method of blessing the son.
Aside from the fact that it is almost impossible for the son to return the money to the gambling company the father should take the money because it is not illegal money; if it were, I would have supported the father, but since it is not, I'm afraid I'd have to congratulate the son.

Well it might not be illegal from your own view and perspective but like zlantann said some religious actually see this act as an ill act and its probably not welcome by them and if the father is a Muslim then I think his reason for rejecting the money justifies his claim but thats if the son is in a stage where he can't decide for himself because possessing such money can even make the son disown the father if its calls for it because money always come with a spirit that changes or amplifies someone character.

2615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your Life After 10 years in Bitcoin... on: May 22, 2023, 07:15:14 PM
Life is rather full of surprises and its nice to actually hear someone actually saying some truth about holding your coins. Like I said life is full of surprises and you never know what might hit you next that might require you to actually sell off some of coins which is not a bad thing I presume but this notion of selling your coins is actually seen by many members here as some kind of abomination but the truth is no matter the level of investment or savings one is into there is actually a time that can possibly require you to temper with those coins or savings as that is the whole sequence of life.
Even though it is possible for such things to happen, of course we must remember that when we are and want to sell, it is clearly still very permissible. It's just that we must know that the conditions for selling must clearly be more than what we bought before. I will still emphasize like that because indeed our goal to invest is certainly about profit and why sell when we are still losing and just throwing away what you have.
On the other hand, this is the importance of financial management isn't it? because of course we realize that Investment is only a small portion of the money we have or we set aside and that's what we should still emphasize because regardless of anything we still have to save unexpected funds as one of the conditions to minimize events that are not really expected. and when it happens even though we don't expect it, but we still have money that can be allocated to patch or minimize it so that we don't interfere with the investment we do, especially if it hasn't met the desired target.
So in order words you are saying that one should actually save money for the unexpected events that might occur in our life's so as to free us from tempering with our bitcoin investment or any other investment? Well I think thats not a bad idea but I don't think anyone actually save for the unexpected or Atleast my savings is actually for such purpose because money spent to tackle my problem is actually welcome for me as a money well spent because the problems are bound to come but it will be worse if there is actually no funds to handle it or lead to you borrowing from others.
2616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 22, 2023, 06:37:49 PM
Everyone tends to be writing in favour of Manchester City to easily defeat Inter Milan and win the UEFA Champions League title this season and that's understandably because of of the current form of Manchester City. Just like yesterday, City played against Chelsea with their second XI and still beat Chelsea.
But Inter Milan is one club that I think shouldn't be underated despite the current statistics of who's better in performance because if properly analysed, one could see that they weren't even favoured to reach the final but some they made it to the final and that's why I think Inter might just pull a surprise at the final

I understand the angle you are coming from but lemme be frank with you, I did bet on that match and it was a W1 straight win for Manchester City. I hate them for humiliating Real Madrid in Semi Final but I wouldn't allow emotion to over crowd my judgement that Inter will win Manchester City, they have come a long way to lose this match to Inter Milan. If they do lose this match which I believe 90% they wouldn't, Pep would be sack and if they do sack him, nobody wil have any sympathy about that beccause if they have the strategy to elimiante Real Madrid, Inter should be there list worry not taking this Cup.
Well I wouldn't know about sacking pep guardiola even if they lost that match. No doubt Manchester city and the players will be greatly affected if they lost but c'mon man its football every thing and anything is possible as nobody even  expected them to lose that finals to Chelsea who were not as strong as them that year and thats the same fate with this finals also as inter Milan is no match to compete with them but their is a possibility that inter might and if they do win I think Manchester city will just have to handle it with good fate and hope to win another but I also doubt them losing this final game.

HISTORICAL EVENT
Today being may 22nd marks 13 years since the famous bitcoiner Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10000 BTC for two papa John's pizza which was delivered to him and looking at that same figure today records a whooping sum of 268000000k $ in today's market price cap. Funny enough
this historical event is marked as a symbol in the crypto world today so am using this medium to remind everyone in the forum about this Wonderful event that happened 13years ago @ may 22nd 2010.

So once again happy bitcoin pizza day to everyone in the forum.

Sevilla is the Queen of Europa League and whenever they reached the finals , they won it but this time they are facing As Roma.

AsRoma of Mourinho , a masterclass in defense and I'm afraid Sevilla won't beat Roma this time and this will only solidify the name of Mourinho as probably the best coach ever and also the first one to win Conference League and then Europa League and imagine if he leaves Roma and goes to Real and win UCL with them in 3 consecutive years getting 3 European trophies...it's just insane to think about it but the first two of them are already completed so we just need a move from him back to Real this summer.
Well I guess its your thought so you can actually fantasize as much as you can, because with only you saying that sevilla can't beat just sounded like a de-ja-vu feeling because that's what had been going on with sevilla so far, for every round of the Europa league they  played they were rank one of the least but look at where the least had gotten them. We all know how difficult this particular sevilla team has become to difficult beat so I think they are going to give mourinho a run for his money.
