Well now a days i observe the crypto market and now the trending topics is bot the projects like unibot , banana bot , unichat and many more giving huge profits to the early birds now i heard an upcoming project name Bubble bot and the website is Bubblebot.finance has a great potential and also spot trading, Hedge/risk on pegged asset, multistaking , future trading with limit orders and much more is offering on his telegram and discord bots and the team looks really competitive but my question is new projects are quite risky but also gives the huge profit so i want opinion from experts
Here is the website:
Bubblebot.finance

Just know that,  in choosing all the hypes around the crypto market you should be aware that in most cases you are just gambling with your money and nothing more than that,  so before you ride with the current trend just make sure you have your mind made up to risk part or whole of investment because bot projects,  just like all the other meme coins that have created some hypes are just based of pumped speculations that may not in the real sense make any significant market impact on the long run.

2622  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will reach all-time-high before halving. - BitQuant on: September 18, 2023, 03:45:42 PM
All these predictions without any proper technical analysis is useless. Yes we know that Bitcoins are approaching towards something big. But quoting a number out of nowhere doesn’t make any sense. We know Bitcoins follow a 4 year cycle in order to reach its new ATH price. 2024 is the 4th year and many have high expectations from it. So don’t waste time on predicting exact numbers. Buy and accumulate the coins in this low price and enjoy profits when new ATH is reached.
I agree with you on the fact that,  it is inappropriate to allocate any number to the price we perceived Bitcoin to reach before the March-April Bitcoin halving,  and for that what we can do is to speculate the price based on our assumptions of the fact that bitcoin have the possibility of reaching an amount that is beyond what we currently speculate.

At most we can say that Bitcoin could possibly break,  a level that may be higher than the last all time high price before the halving,  but certainly not making another all time high price before the next halving,  highest we can have is to come close to that amount of last ATH benchmark.

Omo my fellow Niger men and women how una dey see this thing wey dey happen for our country cost of food dey increase on a monthly basis to chop common breakfast fit cost you like 700 - 1000 for management oh. And we dey farm dey produce rice and garri, even most raw materials wey them dey use make process food we get am , how come everything cost like this . Watin we go say be the cause of this one now . E Don vex me all person money now dey go for food . Abeg make una contribute for this matter I know say e dey vex all of us
Na inflation cause everything,  because most time what Nigeria produce is raw materials and not finished goods because in most cases,  we still import almost all our basic necessities a d this have left us at the mercy of foreign exchange rate,  which now determine the price of basic goods in the market,  and that is the cause of the current economic downturn that we are witnessing today in the society.

Basic needs have become out of reach for the ordinary citizens and also the cost of living in general talking about housing and the rest of what have you have all gone so high that survival now is just by the grace and high calculations.

Sometimes when we listen to users who advise us to only focus on BTC, it strays us from making a profit especially when we see the potential of a token that may just dast track its bullish market.

I saw this Toncoin (TON) last year which had dropped to its lowest point. I almost bought some of it but just thought I would hold my BTC longer. Had I concluded my research and decided to buy, I would have made a big profit from TON. Now in the top 10.
This is the lamentation of many cryptocurrency investors including myself and most other members of this forum,  but then before you blame anyone or yourself about what hard happened in the pass that have limits your potential profits as perceived by you,  first take the time to check how many of those that have made such profits end up losing it to another scam tokens.

The reason members of the forum always advice you to do your own research before investing in any project including bitcoin because even with bitcoin,  your entry point and exit point matters when it comes to your profits maximization.

Being a religious person is not by face or mouth, it has to do with the real practice of what the religious beliefs says, many are just a figure head and are just following the crowd without doing the main practice, it's what deals with lifestyle and patterned way of life, if you're doing something over time and have no results to show for it, then it's high time to change the way of approach in doing it and check yourself.
Do we have to buy in to all those religious ideas and start taking responsibilities,  I agree with all that you have said and this is why I mostly don't be religious rather just be a good person,  and understanding the law of existence which os kama fhat deal fairly with everybody in the world,  I have come along a lot lately and with my level of understanding,  religion is man mad and there is no why you can practice it just like education without following the principles.

Without following the principles,  you can't get the results.
2626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 18, 2023, 01:57:45 PM
Now I'm quite curious how other gamblers are managing this part of the story, if they manage it at all.

So, question to you, did you ever consider paying taxes on your gambling winnings, or deduct the taxes with the losses you've created? If not, what is the reasoning behind it?
Luckily my country is not like the US which imposes mandatory taxes on its citizens even for gamblers, gambling is legal here but only players who win big are required to pay tax and it will be automatically deducted from the winning players, but with the presence of casinos online crypto, it really makes things easier (taxation will not be able to track transactions via crypto) if i win then i don't need to report it to the state tax authorities, once again in my opinion income tax actually doesn't have to be mandatory, it's more of an ethical nature.
Most countries around the world have some level of tax friendness in the sense that the right to declare the amount you earn from gambling is all left in your hands,  this is why,  is the gambler who most report his winning to the tax office otherwise he will go on tax free, this is how most of the online activities and earning go on taxed in most cases.

For the fact that country does not issue licences to casinos,  makes it easy for gambling earnings to be untaxed.
2627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino features you like and Don't like but you don't mind on: September 18, 2023, 01:48:57 PM

Being able to deposited,  wager and withdrawals without kyc is what make me to stick with any casinos be it for short term and long-term base,  even though the casino is a KYC casino but still allows me to play for a specific period and under strict regulations.

I also would stick with casino that allows such withdrawal without KYC requirements at least for a certain amount so that I could just be withdrawing on that amount without bothering myself with KYC. I really don't like KYC especially the 4th level where document and selfie is requested which exposes your privacy to the public. For a casino that is not reputable, they can give someone's data out on request. So playing and withdrawing without the selfie request would get me stick out for the casino.
That is the perfect approach as a casino user to stay on guard and ahead of any possible privacy demands,  this is very important in the sense that you know how and what amount to transact that will not trigger up level 2 kyc which is the level of kyc most cryptocurrency lover does not like to go through,  because the site may demand for your ID which expose more details about you.

So for that the best possible,  acceptable level of KYC should be email and phone number verifications,  in case of 2FA security authentication.
2628  Economy / Economics / Re: What Actually Drives People/Gov to Adopt New and Bold Decisions on: September 18, 2023, 01:44:39 PM

So, the point i was trying to make here is, even after getting our own country other countries are still interfering in governments rules and taking things over. I don't like to mention names but many already knew. And just to clear i am not saying these statements to put my problems (my means my country) in front of you guys instead i am just using it as an example.


If your country is a sovereign nation with all the paraphernalia that makes it independent country and it is still having such interference, that makes your country is being recolonized and that is called neocolonialism. I think the reason is that your leaders have kept being stooge to other countries who are mingling with the affairs of your country and that means your country will not experience a total freedom and your growth rate economically, technologically and otherwise will be limited. Your country need to experience real freedom to grow.

For the fact that we have one cardinal meeting point makes it important for leaders of various countries to take conscious steps toniodate themselves and using acceptable economic tools to take advantage and negotiate the interest pf the country in the international communities, so the bottom line is that,  leaders of most third world countries such as countries from Africa struggle so much with neo colonialism and that have left the to depend on the west for economic supports meanwhile those elies are mostly their former colonial masters,  so this have made it very obvious and clear that there is a deliberate attempt to saburtsge the economic potential of most former colonized countries,  this also give birth to corruption because the reason why most countries who have experienced that level of economic meltdown and recessions to the point that the country now survive on importation and heavily indebted this are all features of a failing country.

Trades are determine by the amount of a countries GDP and if anyone failed to meet up with that GDP demand am afraid that such countries will experience all the crisis that we have all pointed out,  so that lead us to the question as to what make up for an independent country,  and how far have those countries who just got independent have done in term of developments.

They started to award more participants as much as possible and giving the free bonus is their way to appreciate the luck and real participants. There’s a lot of artist who skip the recent contest, I guess its because of the theme or maybe they there are just busy. Well, there’s a new art contest and I expect to see more participants this time as the theme is not that hard.
Some popular artists did not join recent contests does not mean Roobet contests become less attractive with them.

They have many activities in life and sometimes they don't have time to visit the forum or don't have time to create arts for joining recent art contests. They even have time but simply are lack of ideas to join. Many reasons and I can not step in shoes of artists to say why they did not participate in recent contests hosted by Roobet team and Hhampuz.
Well, you have a very good point which I personally agree to, another reason is the possiblity that some of this users must have made money some how and might not be particularly interested in contests with little amount of money as reward, saying this because I have a friend who used to be a forum buddy to me here, I heard he luckily made over $200,000 from a crypto he invested in a long time ago, then he completely stopped coming online here on the forum, he used to be very serious with signature campaign since that acted as his primary source of income for several months, or should I say over 2 years, but as soon as he made this money, he abandoned all that and left the forum completely.


The above is just one of the possibilities though, but still for me, the most likely reason is that which you have said, time, that is, lack of time due to whatever be the reason, and besides, the top creators not participating in this round of the contest, simply means they are giving other lesser contestants the opportunity to become top creators as well .
Some times,  we as human may feel unwilling to take parts in things fhat used to be pf interest to us before,  this is why you see people stating reasons for such lost of interest to be,  limited time to concentrate and fully take part and give their best,  so instead taking the Art job and end up not meeting up to dead line or doing a half hazards job,  it better they just avoid enrolling in the contest.

Also money that you mentioned is another factor,  some of the old forks already made enough money and have shifted attention to bigger things,  and leaving the smaller deals for the upcoming so that they can also showcase they talent in that direction also.
2630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: September 18, 2023, 10:39:52 AM
Lottery is actually the most difficult game to win as long as gambling is concerned, that is, ones chances of winning the lottery is way lower than the person's chances of winning a huge amount of money through slot, casino or sport betting games, no matter how small the amount of money is, winning the lottery remains the hardest, and it's usually the most extreme lucky participants that win .

Note that in slot games, casino games and sports betting, one requires luck to win, but in lottery, one requires extreme luck win, I played a local lottery  game consistently for over 3 years and never won a dime, not to talk of the jackpot .
For me I can't categorize lottery into the class of game,  because as far as I know lottery has nothing to do with any form of technicalities that qualify it to be called a games since lottery most time is all about selecting a lucky winning lottery number or tickets,  this is why lottery is pourly based on luck to win.

Unlike like in sportbet,  where you can make games analysis and predict the possible winning team in the match,  so of course football betting is far more easier to win than lottery and that is why we have frequent sportbet winning compared to lotteries.

2632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: September 17, 2023, 11:27:15 PM

I like what you say, it is true about the weak mentality, it is not something that can be worth carrying always, especially when it is with a casino, a player should always control his emotions and not allow the emotions to be above his person Here in these cases what should be done is that when there is a lot of danger of doing things wrong, then stop and wait, not jump in, because I have played like that and when I get carried away by emotions and I mess up more and lose or so I won, I feel that I have been irresponsible , because I have risked more than I should have and that is not the idea, I mean doing things in a controlled manner and not risking too much.

Well for the fact that our mentality matters a lot in whatever we are doing we have to employ a stable mentality that can allow us to make proper decisions that will help us in some ways possible that will place us in a winning position,  this could also affect our winning rate at some points.

If a gambler allows his emotions to have control of his thoughts and mindset towards the game,  it still can hamper his chances of winning since he may be prone to making decisions at the wrong time,  since his emotions are in control.
Emotions influence the way one gambles. Not so fast: This doesn't reveal anything new. Nevertheless, I respect your attempt at knowledge. Really cute. What is the true tragedy, you ask? Losers, just like you mentioned, are everywhere. They're mindlessly scrolling through their phones, searching for porn, or just hanging about in search of junk food. They never mentally prepare themselves, and then, everyone knows that "then". They have an addiction to something. If you take gambling seriously, check your emotional baggage at the door and adopt a tough mentality. If not, just speak without doing anything.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
I every well agree with you any ways because when you are emotional stable you become accurate in staking your games and being following up as the match progresses because often times than none,  a lot of odds changes in-between the line that of the gambler emotional state of mind is not stable it won't be so ok to take the right position.

Quite clear that gamblers often need to take care of they emotional well being of others to stay ahead in making game calculations and decisions that will place them in a better position.
2633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 17, 2023, 10:54:36 PM
at the moment I seem to have become an Al Nassr fan but that does not mean I am too proud of this team because after all this is all because of Mane and Ronaldo who are currently the team mainstays and I not mind if someone might say this because in reality Al Nassr is without Ronaldo and Mane not be this strong. maybe we can look for other examples, such as Al Taawon, which was once considered a weak team and had more original players in the SPL, but in reality this team is able to compete and can be above Al Nassr.
sometimes we as fans are too ambitious to brag about our favorite team, but for me too much is not good because after all, injury surprises always hinder a team and will definitely cause a decline in performance so I not be too proud.
I'm yet to pick a Saudi Team to support but they're two teams impressed with in the league which are Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal I love the way Al-Hilal has transformed into an unbeatable team this season by strengthening their squad depth with quality players that's got experience in different European leagues I was impressed to see their new signing Neymar his debut and the match more entertaining with his skills and good passes, made me wonder why he left the European football to Al-Hilal when he's still got more to offer there.

 Anyways Al-Nassr also Strengthen their team as well with top quality players and I think the Ronaldo's influence has made me to love their team more than Al-Hilal and him and Mane has made the team very successful since they came into the club and have even made Al-Nassr won a cup this season, these two teams are my favourites and they've made the league more interesting.
The Saudi Arabia football league is gaining a lot of traction lately,  and this is indeed a new revolution for them and most of the team/clubs are really coming out strong,  with all their recent top players signing and incredible performance very soon Saudi Arabia is going to become the next global football center and a lot of attentions is going to be shifted to them.

Any way many of us have not also chosen a team to support,  although some member may have more interest than us and have gone ahead to make personal analysis and coming up with their preferred club,  but for me, I will still watch most of them from afar for now.
2634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 17, 2023, 10:41:13 PM
It wasn't an easy win for Arsenal despite being in control especially in the second half. But getting three points was the important point of course. Trossard hasn't been scoring a goal in Premier League games for a very long time. But today he scored the winning goal and finally finished this bad streak for himself.

Things are going well for Arsenal in the league. But they might need to improve their performance a little more in the long term. This is important for especially big games. Their next game is against Tottenham in Emirates so I really wonder how this game will end.

It definitely wasn’t an easy game for Arsenal as Everton seemed determined to hold them to a draw or try to get a win themselves. Unfortunately, Arsenal persisted and got a goal in the second half of the game that ultimately gave them the win at the end of the game.
Everton did put up a good fight as their defense tried in thwarting Arsenals constant attacks that I had actually thought for a second that the game might end up being a goalless draw. That thought quickly left as Arsenal scored. I had thought more goals would follow but Arsenal couldn’t follow up with another one till the game ended.
Even with all the efforts put into today's game by Evarton,  it still ball down to the reality that Asernal was able to beat them in the game,  and this is where the truth is,  Evarton may think that Asernal should at least away with a draw with them which could have been to Evarton own advantage.

But with the chances that presented itself in the second half a goal came in for Asernal which sealed the deal for them,  and I am glad the match ended that was at least Asernal hard a clear winning this time.

Upon reading the progression of this thread, it appears that you may have misunderstood the message you received. It has nothing to do with Cloudbet being hacked; it's just that they are reiterating that your password may have been compromised. But even still, if I haven't confirmed the source of the message, I wouldn't click any link and would move forward with just checking the website myself.

With the amount of hacks going around, it's great that these casinos have the time to do a SMS or email blast. They're just looking out for your safety, after all.
The rate of hacks in recent time is at alarming rate and at that most casinos are taking precautions to protect the gamblers,  because if the almighty stake can experience a hack some time about a week plus everyone need to take actions to protect yourself and if you are gambling on a casino that allows you to have extra securities then I advise you to activate them.

Why casinos send this kind of warning message is because they trying to protect the customer account from getting emptied if there are any possible hack situations in the casino.
2636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free spins are also a demo in disguise? on: September 17, 2023, 10:27:16 PM
Free spins are actually giving some opportunities for lucky players to win some decent amount, but since we all know that most of the time the casinos get lucky more than us, then it’s seldom to see winning from free spins than losing it. However, I can tell that those free spins are real and not manipulated by the casino as we have seen some gamblers who are very aggressive when it comes to playing free spins.
I agree with that,  there os high possibility that a player that os given free spin will certainly win a few bulk that can help push his gaming time forward even though he may not have direct deposits,  this is why in my earlier comment,  I started how demo accounts differs in high proportion to free spin.

I have been given free spin before and in the cost of trying the use the buses,  I won a good amount of money that was x2 of the total amount awarded in the free spin,  after my total wager.

The demo is only good for testing the games to have a feel of what they look like even though there are great differences between demo account games and the real live games,  so do take your results and drill on the demo account as being an expert,  you may meet a different thing entirely.

*it always seems to be a 'him'.

Well, the gap between male politicians to female politicians up to this date is still huge, so the existence of corruption will be more noticeable to male species. In the future where the number of female to male politcians is almost equal or equal, only then we can have a data that will prove if gender is a related for this "CORRUPTION"
Who else but him,  (because he have to take all the risk).

The merging between male and female politicians is still very high and at that we can easily ascribed the causes pf that to lack of participation from the female politicians,  because sometime they can't take the risks that os involved in contesting and winning elections in most places,  and this also is evident in the political conduct in some places.

Political struggle in Africa most especially is too rough for women to get involved and even if they,  they get kicked behind by the male forsk who sees this thing as man's business,  but seriously,  it will really be nice if we can at least let a woman president in Africa and let us test the line of leadership.

snip

The same way several men became more active gamblers because with the internet , they can gamble peacefully from the comfort of their homes or offices, so also are women in their small numbers, have decide to try gambling since it no longer required going to a physical casinos to sit together with different men and all that .
with everyone becoming more connected to the internet, whether women, men, children, adults, or old people can easily connect to online gambling and to get accurate data on what percentage of female gamblers globally, I am 100% sure we will never be able to get the right number.  we are in 2023, gender equality is quite important, 1 in 100 women worldwide must have gambled or actively gambled.

I am waiting for the time I could see holistic research that can put this argument to rest at some point,  but all the same, we can still have some discussions based on the fact that none of the arguments have any substantial evidence.
People nowadays don't really think about religious prohibitions, women and men are the same, even women and men who are religious still often commit acts that violate religious rules.
Religion in some countries prohibits gambling for both women and men and most of those countries that only limit women are very few to none and that is why we started that a lot of these comments on women restrictions are based on assumptions since there is no real fact to state that only women are not allowed to gamble.

Because most of the countries that have gambling ban is for both women and men and not only women,  what we may have is discrimination in society against women involved in gambling.
2639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 17, 2023, 09:43:22 PM
Real Sociedad was leading 1-0 in the first half. But Valverde scored in the first minute of the second half. And now the match is tied at 1-1. Bellingham, Valverde and Joselu's performances were good enough today. But we haven't seen a better performance from young Rodrygo. This match clearly shows that Madrid lack experienced strikers in their squad. Madrid's defense and midfield are very strong. But they are lagging behind due to lack of experienced finishers. Madrid had the opportunity to score several goals. However, Modrich is in Madrid's squad. After 70 minutes, maybe Ancelotti will bring Modrich on as a substitute.
The final result was 2-1 for Real Madrid's victory in the match against Real Sociedad. If you look at the course of the match, Real Sociedad surprised the fans at the Bernabeu stadium because they scored an early goal which gave them an early lead in this match. But Real Madrid doesn't want to repeat the bad history when they were beaten by Real Sociedad with a score of 2-0. Thus they continued to try and build attacks in the second half until Valverde didn't need much time to equalize. By successfully equalizing, Real Madrid continued to increase the tempo of their game until Joselu was able to put Real Madrid in the lead with a goal he scored in the 60th minute. Even the 2-1 lead lasted until the match ended, winning 3 points made Real Madrid return to the top of the standings and maintain their trend is to achieve consecutive wins at the start of this season.
This was a bad match for real Madrid even though the managed to win the match with 2:1 which came late since Real Madrid concluded the first goals but we're able to equalize after a tough chase up along the way,  this make a lot of sense if Real Madrid take the winning as a warning sign of what is ahead of them in this season.

With all the money spent in acquiring new players,  how then have real Madrid fallen behind in performance and their struggling to win matches even against smaller clubs?

To me,  Asernal had a successful outing in this weekeven though this Sunday game end with a gaol difference in favor of Asernal and coming up against another stronger club like Evarton is a big deal that Asernal have to celebrate their winning and at least with this winning now,  Asernal is gradually moving towards the last season position.

And hopefully Asernal could break the record the failed to achieve in the last season due to be challenge or the other towards to end of the season where they were finally pushed down by ManchesterCityy.
