2821  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Still think bitcoin is coming to an end? Then you must read this <3 on: November 23, 2022, 05:07:14 PM
It is good to see that any establishments are willing to accept Bitcoin but the question is if people are also wanted to spend their Bitcoin buying stuff.
That is really amazing, yet most of us had considered Bitcoin as an investment which makes me think that people are still preferred to use fiat over Bitcoin. I'm going to say that because, in myself, I can't do it. I can be one of those people who believe Bitcoin as a currency but never use it in real life as I can see more benefits if I use this for investment.

Once companies accept bitcoin payment then I think people will also use bitcoin for payment. Nowadays people don't want to use bitcoin for payment because the purpose is profit, that means when the time comes for bitcoin to make a significant profit for them, I believe everyone will use their bitcoin. If an investment gives you a few thousand percent returns, but if you don't use it, it won't give you anything either. At the moment, people are not ready to use bitcoin as it has not yet made a significant profit, but the time will come.
I would say that I was just practical at this time since Bitcoin isn't widely accepted in our place meaning that it was wise and profitable to make this as an investment. Only if it happens that there is a store that will accept Bitcoin near to me, of course, I'd love to try it and see how they process payment, but unfortunately, nothing. Just like the others, they preferred to trade rather than make use of this as a currency and we can't deny that the majority are here for that reason.

The majority of people are interested in bitcoin for investment purposes. I would agree with that because bitcoin can help you financially, but you will also gain knowledge about finance and bitcoin. Here in our country, we already have stores (not many) that accept bitcoin as payment. We also have a wallet, and there are stores that accept payments from that wallet, including bitcoin. No matter what our purpose is or why we are here in bitcoin, let's just respect each other.

Tough call; it made me think. If I am the heartless kind of CEO, then yes, laying people off is the solution, as it really cuts off the expenses in terms of salary, but the problem is that I am taking care of my people. My idea is to ask my employees to choose what they want; it is like a survey to know the majority's suggestions. If they want me to lay off people or just cut their salary, I am sure that employees would say cut their pay because it is challenging to have no job and also tricky to find one. I will mostly choose what the majority says since both options can benefit the company.
2823  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bad economic situation always create more crimes on: November 23, 2022, 01:49:38 PM
it is common knowledge that if the economy is bad the crime rate will be high, but this will always happen if the government of one country cannot solve its economic problems in a sustainable manner, and they never measure the economy of the lower middle class (poor) they measure only the top,
Talking about economic problems will never end, for now survival is the key to dealing with increasingly high inflation, keep trying and developing ideas in your brain to create jobs for those in need so they can help the economy someone

In a 3rd world country, crime rate is still same no matter how bad the economy or not because the majority of people living on this country already experienced the worst due to the government corruption. I think this ideology is only applicable to rich country that the distribution of wealth is fairly distributed or the government can give assistance to its citizen.

The only time crime rate increased on 3rd world country is when drugs that affects the mind of people to do bad things due to poverty increase too.

In those rich countries, mostly, you can see a lot of illegal things like drugs, human trafficking, and killings. That is mostly what I saw in the news, and theft is not rampant compared to third-world countries. They are usually high on drugs or alcohol when they do this; previously, I only noticed thief activities at night, but now many of these activities take place during the day, and they are minors! They do this because of their needs, and that's how they survive, even now that the prices of foods are getting higher and higher, so they are really having difficulties.
2824  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: November 23, 2022, 12:37:30 PM
A commission-based job — easily. I'd prefer me having to earn more when I outperform and/or work harder rather than having a "safe" salary. It really depends on a case to case basis though; someone in a bad financial situation might want a stabler income especially if he/she sort of lacks the skills and connections.
If you want more security and receive stable income, then go for salary based job. But I actually see it as a limited source of income, so I chose commission based over salary based job. It’s not that I have some certain skills in expanding my sales, but it maybe it’s more challenging and it keep me more motivated to improve the skills that I have built in myself.
nothing is secure in the so called world - neither salary based job - nor a commissioned based job. When the time is not right everything is snatched from you.

That's another matter because everything will be gone if the world plays tricks on you, but we're talking about monthly income, whether large or small and how stable it is. That is why a salary-based job is stable, even though the increase would take years. Still, it is sure that you can get your salary by the end of the month. On the other side, on a commissioned job, you can earn a lot that will last you for a couple of months, but there are still months that you still need income since you didn't get any commissions that month.
2825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling techniques on: November 23, 2022, 09:30:56 AM

So this means that if we are in the casino and we devise a strategy, that does not work? I have written down many things regarding some games that I am in the casino, of course I have no idea what I can do in a slot machine, I think there is no chance there because that means that everything is up to luck, to randomness, but As they have said that no technique works, how can it be done there? What they say on social networks is all lies? because I see many tutorials, I see some pages where there are techniques that can be adapted, but while I read, it demotivates me, but I still do that because I see that it works for me.
I don't quite understand you. 
Of course, when a game has variations on your moves and your opponents' moves in that game, different strategies can be applied.  And some will obviously lead you to victory.  For example, this certainly works in chess or outfits.  But when there are random processes, such as in slot machines, the only thing that can be done is only for you to decide for yourself whether to play further or stop.  Although, of course, this can also be called a strategy in some sense, Smiley

Indeed, the only strategy is when to stop and when to minimize or maximize your bet, I mean with luck base games, it's your self-control that matters, if you choose to proceed and risk everything then if luck doesn't come up then you will lose everything. It's a matter of your controlling both your emotions and the strategy that in you.

The chance of winning always depends on how you plan your strategy and how well you will execute, plus luck that always
have a big factor.

In the world of gambling self control is a must in order to avoid many or big losses. And also self control is the best strategy in the gambling world. Because if once a gambler have a self control then for sure he can manage his/her money well and put his/her bet on a right time. But the best thing in the gambling if we have our luck in our side then for easy win for that. So it means that gambling is also based on luck .

Stable mental health is the key; it can prevent addiction, and you are right; losses and greediness will kick in. If we can control it, we will not be losing big. My greediness, mostly when losing or winning, has also been my problem until now. I will tend to be aggressive in the long run to get back my losses, or if I feel lucky, I will mostly go all in, but in the end, I will lose a lot. Gambling is really based on luck, but it depends on the game. Those games in the casino are mostly luck-based games, but card games are combined, just as with sports betting.
2826  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Biggest reason why you dont make profit first on: November 23, 2022, 08:09:14 AM
If you continue to buy your coins when the price is high in the crypto market, it will not allow you to make a good profits like those that buy when the price is low in the crypto market. I think, the bearish market is the best market for both long term traders and short term traders to buy coins and hold until bullish market take over the crypto market before you can sell to make a huge amount of money at the moment. Now that the price of Bitcoin has decreased to $16,300 , showed that the market price is still looking good for traders to buy and hold, so that they will not miss the massive pumping that is about to happen in crypto market soon.

When you pay a high price for bitcoin, there is a strong temptation to sell it when you are losing money in red days. It is always preferable to buy it at a low price because you can still cater to it while the price is declining, as long as you can hold it. What is best for the long term is that you are not getting stressed out looking for good trades on a daily basis; you just need to buy and hold it for a year or two, and then you are good. But with the current price of bitcoin, there are other holders that are in the negative now as this is the same price as last year, and that is where they are tempted to sell it so that they can cut their losses.
2827  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Bitcoin changed my life on: November 23, 2022, 04:52:12 AM
Bitcoin has actually changed a lot of people's lives on before now and this your story is part of it and will still continue to change people's lives and this is literally, if you have patient with Bitcoin , Because this is not something that just happened an over night , you must have a long time view of at least a period 2 years plus before you could start to see results like this

The results were quick (4-5 years ago;) When bitcoin first reached $17,000, many newcomers purchased a bitcoin and held it for a few months That makes them millionaires in our country, and it really changes their lives. Bitcoin is a great investment; I don't buy whole bitcoins, but I do buy small bits when the market is down, so it will accumulate over time. There are also many traders who trade in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. 
2828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I Am So Done With Betting Until.... on: November 23, 2022, 02:36:20 AM
I think I am one of the unluckiest gambler/bettor out here, today is one of my worst days again and I think I should quit betting.

I went all in on Argentina thinking their match against Saudi Arabia would be an easy win for them, and the fact that the odds were so far away against Saudi Arabia winning while it was in huge favor of Argentina caused me to be so sure that Argentina was going to win the match, and then, I went all in, hoping to make some big wins just like yesterday, but now, everything is gone, in just a twinkle of an eye...
Argentina is a big disappointment, It's still hard to believe, I quit betting until I am able to forget this experience entirely.

I'm not a big football fan, but I saw on social media that they lost in this game because they were confident Argentina would win, and the odds on the gambling platform were stacked in Argentina's favor; other people bet big because they thought it was a sure win, but it wasn't. This is possible in sports betting; whether you have a low chance of winning or not, there is still a chance that they will win; this is an example of not betting too much or betting only what you can afford to lose. I am very sorry for your loss. Just rest some time, recover from the loss, and if you are okay, then that is the time you'll decide if you still want to come back to gambling or not.
2829  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching my nephew about Bitcoin on: November 21, 2022, 06:09:45 PM
This is cool; you really dressed up. I would suggest that you invite your other nephews or her friends and teach them, as the child can learn more if there are other children around. Thought is a great job. Just continue it and try to show them how to transact in real time, or you can also gift them a small amount of bitcoin for their graduation (if you plan to teach them full lessons). You can also try to educate your cousins or other family members who are interested in bitcoin so that you and your family are aware of it.

3. FOCUS ON YOUR UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS
Try to make people happy is always a the best. For a customer to be unhappy, there is a problem somewhere. Get involved, study their problems, learn from it, take into account any feedback they are giving you, as it’s a cheap and easy way to adjust and improve your product or service for the future.

This is important thing to do, get the unhappy customers back with your effort because if you make no effort in that they go out to spread bad news to your business in the mind of the positive customers and your business you begin to drop very bad to leave them to go unhappy. This is the work of PR in the company. The PR person is train to do this role in the company to build customer relations is good. As the owner too is good to have the character of good relationship to people.

It is also because those happy customers are already content with your service. I heard this before when I was still in college because you can learn a lot and know where to improve from negative comments or feedbacks from your customers, and most of the time they will take the low ratings feedback more seriously to see how to make their service or product more customer-friendly so that the unhappy customer can be turn into a satisfied one. Though it is not always easy because there are always negative comments about your services, you can filter out those that are relevant. 
2831  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why does everyone want to trade? on: November 21, 2022, 03:34:11 PM
And so I think everyone wants to trade,
but no one wants to learn to trade.
Well said,
To start trading, it has to be learned first, If someone starts without learning it. He is going to lose his money in the long term ( Some trades may go well for him in the short term, but in long-term, he will lose)

So first learn. And I believe this bear market is a great time to learning/ or improving your/our skills.

+1 for img

I think all traders wants to learn that’s why they are trading. Losing money on trading doesn’t mean you didn’t learn. It’s just that the other trader have profit and someone lose since trading is just transfer of money from early buyer to late buyer. There’s no way that everyone will be in profit because the money on the order book is just from other trader too.

Of course newbie or low IQ trader will always lose there money on trading and even if you study a lot. You will still lose because there’s always someone better especially the whales that can dominate the market.


When you win on a particular trade, there is also another person who lost on that trade. That is the cycle of trading: if you are losing, someone else is winning. Also, there are two kinds of losses: the first is when you lose and will mock and try it again without evaluating. The second one is accepting the loss, checking why that trade was a loss, and trying not to commit the mistake again. That is the life of trading; you'll need to learn a lot and analyze all the movements so your winning percentage per trade is higher.
2832  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: November 21, 2022, 02:10:05 PM
I like both actually. It’s just that commission job is much harder because you need tremendous skills to close a client or so. I have tried once getting commissions from the ones I referred to the project, but I’ve ended up having no sales at all despite my time and effort.


You should really possess those persuasive skills. I do have a friend that is really into commission jobs. He tried at first the office job, but he said it gets boring in the long run. When he gets into commission jobs (selling appliances and cars), he gets a commission once he sells it. He gets very interested in it and is very persuasive to people, whether online or in the physical store, and he earns more! But then COVID hit, and he was really down and lost his job; however, he is now back in a commission job, mostly selling cell phones.

Yeah! The greatest comeback in PUBG tournament history! Stand strong, Ukrainians! They deserve this win not only for their country but also for their out-of-the-box strategy! This is what we meant by competitive PUBG. They were in 6th place before the last day of the finals, but again they climbed up to win the game. Fans are celebrating their victories, and commentators are surprised because they expected 17 Gaming or Overpeekers to win because Jemz and Clib are on a roll, but it turns out Navi!

2834  Economy / Gambling / Re: Selling Online Crypto Casino on: November 21, 2022, 11:34:13 AM
This is your opportunity to start in one of the most profitable online businesses: gambling.

How does it make money?
Well, when people make deposits and gamble on your site, they will 100% lose if they continue playing. The adage "The house always wins" is true in its entirety due to something called the "House Edge" that gives the casino a statistical advantage.


Lol, a new type of scam, or are you just setting up a nulled website? You discovered something online that was nulled by someone and are now selling it? Also, based on your statement above, it is not 100% certain that the gambler will lose; if this is true, no gambler is currently playing that they know they will going to lose. Though the house has an advantage, the gambler still has a slight chance that they will win. If they do, how would you pay them? Also, this kind of service is very sketchy; there is no portfolio, no sample website, no reviews, and no in-depth information on how they will set it up, so this is 100% garbage.
2835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How important is fiat to Bitcoin? on: November 21, 2022, 08:55:05 AM
I think that for bitcoin itself, fiat is unimportant, as noted above. But for us, unfortunately, fiat is still needed since bitcoin is not widely accepted everywhere, and we cannot use it fully when trading various goods. In my country, there is a strict law that prohibits the use of bitcoin. Therefore, I am forced to exchange it for fiat in cases where I need to purchase something.

It is the same in our country; it is not widely used here, but it is also not strict. The difference between here and in your country is that there are still a few merchants that accept bitcoin, but not all, which is why we mostly exchange it for our fiat. I can still live for a day on a bitcoin, but not for a week because there are only a few places that accept it. But I know that in the upcoming years here in our country, it will be widely used as most people are really into bitcoin here, and there are a lot of reports that merchants will accept bitcoin in the future.
2836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which has better odds, lottery, online gambling, or sports betting? on: November 21, 2022, 07:42:31 AM
I go with you to this reason. That is why sometimes they say waking up on the right side of the bed or wrong side depending on what is the experience of that day. Everyday come with different experience that we have and if it happen to be a favour day, anything is good on that day and bad day will remain bad for anything you try. On a good day trying a gamble may be successful. I see this happening alot of times with people who share experience of betting and winning when they didn't expect to win.

Here in gambling, there's a good and bad days. Whatever the result on that day, just accept it.

Whether playing the lottery, online gambling, or sports betting, gambling is gambling and regardless of the odds, it's not a sure win always.

Maybe just choose a gambling type that we feel comfortable risking our money whatever the probability to win at those.


Gambling will always have inevitable losses no matter what particularly in games that are purely based on luck and chances. However, if you can bet on games that you think you are good at it and you’re skilled at it, then definitely you will lessen the risk of losing. And certainly, sportsbetting will give us better chances to win than to lose.

Yes, but others just want to play for fun, like no matter how much they spend, it is okay with them. Like us we need money, so we should stick to sports betting on some days, but still there are some gamblers that bet on the team to show their support. Sports betting has a higher chance of winning than other games, but card games are a combination of luck and skill because you can only win if you know how to choose the right card to throw.

Teacher's efforts and teacher's salary


https://twitter.com/HelpATeacher/status/1563967443369922562?t=HhnNOsAyscWkFMoOrxrUeQ&s=19

of course we all know how the teachers have been working tirelessly in giving out quality education on children who are the future leaders of tomorrow, but yet when we are to talk about their pay in wages, it's nothing to write about because they get so little in return to what they are giving out, but i want to believe that despite this challenge, not every country treat their teachers in such manners, they have a payment scale accredited by the government as minimum wage which they all follows especially in the advance and developed countries unlike the underdeveloped ones that does not have a standard for teachers salary.
We should not be surprised because teachers are putting more  efforts to make sure that students get the best knowledge and are useful in the society but the only way the government can pay them is peanut. Many politicians allowances are more the teachers salaries which is very bad and we need to look into this so that the people that are working cam also rat from their labour.

In the past administration of our government here in the country, they made it possible to increase teachers' salaries, as the president at that time knew that the teachers needed a salary increase. I am unsure whether this current administration will continue the previous president's advocacy of valuing teachers as I haven't heard any news about teachers. I am hoping that their salary would again increase a little bit just to thank them for their efforts, especially those teachers going to remote areas.

2839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a gambling addict? on: November 20, 2022, 01:03:02 PM
Most addicted gamblers will deny that they are addicted or they do not realize that they are addicted. I myself wont say that I am/was addicted, I did gamble a lot for few years but I do not say that I'm addicted because I can still control my self especially for the money I use to gamble. I cant deny that there were some time when I was out of control while I was gambling but I believe it is something normal and I believe most gamblers experienced the same thing.

That experience of gambling out of control is the start of your becoming addicted, but for now, I am sure that you are still aware and able to control yourself. The most difficult thing about addiction is that you can't control yourself. I can also say that I am not addicted to it, but still, there are times that I really want to play and play every day, and it is out of control, but it isn't affecting my life or my family. That is only when I discover new games that are very fun to gamble with.

And Im ready to pay as long AS good signals.
Where Are those ?
Blockchain USA is good channel but recently not active.
When coin moves huge % then crypto could be full time income provider not just making income living but gives everyday enough money to live well.

I dont need your advice how dangerous those channels or groups are i know myself just Im looking For good pmpp channels. Yes they maybe buy b4 then give out signal i don't Care about that i'll make quick in quick out its still worth more then waiting like fool when btc start doing something Im here to make a lot money as possible with crypto dont really want to waste my days waiting for btc start doing something.

So tell me If you know any those Im looking For payed ones so i can be sure i get good one.tnx

When I started trading, this was the first thing I did since there are a lot of free signal groups in Telegram. At first, when the signals are good, you will win the trade, but when you get used to it later on and when you lose a trade, you start blaming others, and I just realized that signals, even if they are paid, they are not a guarantee that your trades will win. Also, if you ask this in the forum, they will probably say try learn and start to make your own strategy to win trades, as they won't recommend these trading signals.
