321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling until you go totally broke on: March 27, 2024, 08:15:31 PM
I am just wondering if anyone here have ever been in a similar situation before? That is, gambling until you are completely broke with nothing to fall back on?
No money in the bank, no cash in the hand, what did you do?

Or maybe gambled until you are one bet away from going broke (if you lose), do you go ahead and risk the money, or cancel the bet and  keep that money for something more important?  
For this problem I did not see openly about people who went bankrupt because of addiction in gambling, but I listened to that had happened in the people closest to me before. Personally I am not an active gambler so that it does not have such experience, but has suffered defeat in gambling by relying on the last money in my savings, until at that time I really regret and intend not to gamble anymore.

The urge to not be able to survive in gambling will give birth to problems and most people who are addicted will never want to stop despite entering the final stage of the bet. On the contrary they will risk money until the end even though in the end it ends with defeat and losing money for the bet.

There is no information about De Bruyne yet, let's hope that the injury is not so serious. It became known that Walker will be able to play against Arsenal, the injury was not serious, this is good, but with Ederson everything is not so good, according to preliminary forecasts he will be able to return to the game in mid-April, so he will most likely miss the games with Arsenal and Aston Villa, and also possibly the first game with Real Madrid in CL
If De Bruyne can't play, I think Man City's attack will decrease a little more because I see De Bruyne is the brain of the attack regulator for Man City. When he can't play, Man City's game patterns will definitely change a little and too many players who cannot play will be quite detrimental to Man City. I hope the injury is not too severe and he can play for the big match because when they lose points in this match it will make them a little difficult to pursue champions.

If this happens Arsenal will be a little more profitable and they can play more openly and not too worried about Man City's quick attack patterns. Despite losing some important players in Pep Guardiola's squad will not make their game change completely but Arsenal can be a little easier to target the draw.

Bitcoin  has a specific fixed supply of 21M coin which will ensure protection against  every  from of devaluation , beside there's  a smaller  unit that can be used in btc(sats) incase of any form of scarcity and scarcity brings  about increase in price , bitcoin price is also determined by the demand and supply in the market.

On the other hand, fiat currencies can be printed at will by the government  and the supply will still be determined  by that single entity  which is still the government.
That is the advantage possessed by Bitcoin because there are no entities that can adjust their travel in an inflisit because the price journey will be determined by the request and supply process. In contrast to the Fiat currency which has rules from their respective governments in terms of distribution and usually the value continues to decline because of problems that occur around the world economy and other events. Bitcoin has shown excellence in economic conditions that are in trouble like some time ago that occurred when the Covid disaster struck and the level of inflation that occurred so large Bitcoin could show its durability.

Although the government can print any money in any amount, but that does not mean they can solve the economic problem that is currently poor and the absence of the balance of money that is printed can affect the stability of the country. If not the country is so easy to solve the problem by printing as much money as possible but that is also not a concrete solution that can be run.

I think that for Xabi, Liverpool and Bayern remain priorities, with all due respect, but maybe it’s too early for him to coach Real. Real is the top rung, Xabi showed himself super cool with Bayer, but now he needs to show himself great not with an underdog, but with a top club like Bayern/Liverpool in order to finally enter the club of elite coaches.
By the way, most likely Zidane, having seen what kind of lineup Real has assembled, will try to return  Grin It’s obvious to the naked eye that with such a team you can try to repeat Zidane’s achievement and win the Champions League three times in a row.
I agree with you because it is still too fast for Xabi Alonso to become a big club coach like Liverpool and Bayern Munich, especially if he fell Real Madrid in the next season. Xabi Alonso has not been very tested in the coach and may take time for him to develop a career in a club full of history. What Xabi Alonso needs to do with Leverkusen to a higher level in the Bundesliga so that his name will be one of the coaches discussed.

Zidane might be one of the priority if Ancelotti stopped to become a Real Madrid coach and he had given something good for Real Madrid. If at this time asked who is more suitable to be a Real Madrid coach then I agree more if Zidane is their coach.

As trader or holder is bitcoin legal in your country how environmental friendly bitcoin is over there, this is for those country that are facing difficulty with bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. While leaving at home it's advisable to set an important app hidden if you think trading bitcoin or having them will lead you to great danger especially within my country where they suspect lots of boys to be internet fraudster.
It seems like what you feel is much more difficult and maybe your country has made Bitcoin an illegal act that people there should avoid. I am not faced with this problem because in our country bitcoin can still be used as an investment asset. The highly exaggerated suspicion of your country's government and internet fraud should not only involve people who are in bitcoin because there are many other people who will also commit similar fraud without being involved in bitcoin.

What i experience last night made me to raised this topic so we can learn to secure our investment or be very mindful while moving with our smartphone at night it's very risky to lose one valuable asset at this point.
If that's what it sounds like then I think you and anyone else out there should be more careful about hiding investments in bitcoin. Because security is much more important than talking about investment in your country. I want to know what is meant by the risk of losing bitcoin assets, is it related to hacking or were we arrested and then the assets were taken over by the security forces there?
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the Best Option: Because of Dollar Rate Cost of Living is on the Peak on: March 24, 2024, 06:54:07 PM
Banknote and Digital Currency {Bitcoin} are all meant to buy things both in physical shops and online vendors. And countries are trying to adapt to the adoption of the digital currency upon all the restrictions many had laid on it but seen the benefits of it, some lift up the ban.
This is a good decision because people have other alternatives to fiat currency in terms of purchasing anything, but not all countries have implemented it and there are still many countries that see bitcoin as an investment asset. Now there are many online shops that accept payments using bitcoin even though we are in a country that prohibits transaction activities using bitcoin. If the benefits of bitcoin can provide a path to freedom then there is no harm in us taking advantage of it, but I still like bitcoin as an investment asset to this day.

The cost of in my country is on the peak that those who are receiving $80 as salary is nothing but a peanut which can't buy anything reasonable in the market again. Dollar is just playing with the Banknote in my country. And the best way is for the retail businesses to accept bitcoin if the transaction fee is low so that things will be okay for the poor. I am very happy that within this almost one year period I was not in the forum, I have invested some reasonable amount of bitcoin.
That's quite a small income and even in the country where I live if we earn a salary of $80 every month then just food costs are not enough. If someone earns such an income, I am sure that they will not be able to carry out investment activities in Bitcoin because just talking about needs is not enough and how can they possibly set aside that money for investment. I want to know how much income you make every month and what investment formula you would use if you got that much income every month.
327  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 23, 2024, 09:10:52 PM
So I would greatly say we invest some of our profits from bitcoin in to other stuff, than just holding it or using it for pleasure. The rare truth is how we believe bitcoin can change the game, so other systems are developing so we shouldn't be blindfolded.
Invest because savings doesn't increase or builds, investing is what gives you the life you want.
The game will start when you start to believe in Bitcoin, assuming that the initial $100 is the capital you have and this should be added slowly so that the investment we make can continue to increase. The profits obtained from bitcoin can be carried over to other investment models and it depends on how someone can use it. The more investments we make, the greater the profits we will get, because there are many funnels that can provide financial benefits for us.

  No matter how many bitcoin you hold you can still misuse the money, so we should understand the concept of Richness and Wealth.
The same thing happens with people who have a lot of money and if they are unable to turn that money into something more productive then over time it will be wasted. When people understand what to do if they have bitcoins, slowly the bitcoins will increase because people know how to continue collecting them.

I don't know where you are gathering your information or whether you take some time to have a closer look at what exactly has been said and what has been proven to be wrong.

Klopp gave quite a long interview explaining his exact reasons as to why he is leaving the club before his contract will expire and what his plan for the next 12 months will be. He said he is healthy and it has nothing to do with his physical condition, but he also said that he feels weak and he feels the need for a break. Hence, he guaranteed that he will definitely not train a new club in the upcoming season. He added that he doesn't know his exact future plans because he wants to take time during that break to make up his mind, but he said there is no chance to see him on the coaching bench in the season 24/25.  
I'm not really sure about this information because what we see is that he is quite fit and running around the field when his club managed to beat the opponent and that means his health is still quite fit. One thing I think is that he wants to try something new even though he has to stop for a while after next season and there are several news sources that I read and he plans to take charge of another club as a career move.

Let's just say that the I said is wrong because now it's hard to find accurate information and maybe we can see after the season ends. But if the reason is physical fitness I'm sure that's not the only reason he wants to leave Liverpool after this season ends and you can see during the Liverpool match how he is on the sidelines.
329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin could speak ... on: March 23, 2024, 07:56:52 PM
If Bitcoin could speak, what tales of adventure and intrigue from the digital realm would it share with us, revealing the hidden secrets of its journey through the vast expanse of the blockchain?
LOL. It's quite fortunate that bitcoin can't talk because otherwise there would be a lot of people who would start going crazier thinking how they could buy it. The advantages of bitcoin will only be discovered by people who know and dare to take risks because there are many people who have abundant wealth but they do not dare to invest in it. So bitcoin cannot talk is another advantage that cannot affect the sleep of rich people who are unable to see bitcoin potential.

I will ask what language it would be used in if bitcoin could talk because we never know which nationality its creator belongs to. That means Bitcoin can become another race like an imitation human and it will be quite troublesome when he can speak one language because it will be difficult to understand the language I use.
330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 23, 2024, 07:32:35 PM
We should probably consider the situation to change, because I can't see 100% win rate from any of them, all three will lose points somewhere, the question will be which one will lose more than the other. Liverpool do not have any games left with them, but Arsenal will play City so one of those teams will lose points or maybe both of them could. That game will be a big decider.
Liverpool will face a much lighter match in Week 29 where they will face Brighton so the opportunity to secure the three points will be much easier. Man City and Arsenal will face each other this week and winning is important for both of them, because if they lose, their position will change in the third place in the standings. Arsenal will be under much greater pressure because they will visit Man City's headquarters in disadvantaged conditions.

Man City will not let Arsenal get full points at home, because if Arsenal wins the match Man City will be out of the competition, even though the points distance is not too far. Man City is much more favored to win the match because they will play with full strength and also at home.
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 22, 2024, 09:32:13 PM
Klopp's departure will of course have a big impact on the player's desires, because not all players are ready to start a new chapter with a new coach to rebuild the Liverpool team and sometimes for other reasons the player wants to explore new adventures, I think it is very likely for reasons Klopp's decision to leave at the end of the season.

Alexander Arnold is still 25 years old and his quality is quite good so I think it is very natural that there will be lots of offers from top teams for him, and I doubt that he will be able to play until he retires with Liverpool, as I said earlier there will be a lot of changes in the team Liverpool due to the departure of Klopp and Alexander Arnold will be one of them with a tempting offer as a top team.
Liverpool management and fans definitely don't want Jurgen Klopp to leave next season because he has built a stronger squad under his coaching. But perhaps his decision to leave has been a consideration and he may want to seek experience at another club as a career step. Jurgen Klopp's departure will definitely have an impact on Liverpool because even though they have got a good coach they will definitely need to adapt to the players so it will not be easy to restore confidence to continue being in a favorable condition.

Likewise, with players who are rumored to be leaving, such as Alexander Arnold, he is still young enough to have a career at another club so it is natural that offers from other clubs come for him. Liverpool have to look at next season with something new and they have to prepare a lot of things if they don't want to experience setbacks like several other teams in the English league.

Buying Bitcoin isnt just smart, its the future. We're talking about a world where you control your money, not some banker. Its about opportunity, HUGE opportunity. Bitcoin's cycles are clear - you buy, you hold, prices go up. We've seen this pattern, its undeniable. Bitcoin always bounces back, always hits new highs. The naysayers dont get it.

The REAL power of Bitcoin is long-term. Ignore the daily dips, thats just noise. Smart investors see the bigger picture. Bitcoin is revolutionary, its changing everything. To miss out now is like missing out on the internet in the '90s. Massive mistake. Invest in Bitcoin, its the best investment of your life
Everyone definitely sees the potential in the future of bitcoin so they start to decide to get involved in investing. Now people see bitcoin as a way to gain financial freedom and in this way people can reach a stage of improving their finances for the better. The bitcoin cycle will continue to repeat itself and we have to be somewhere that can provide profits because this is actually the way we can make a profit. The power of bitcoin is indeed in the long term, although some people also use the short term to make profits.

Both are good choices, but we must be able to choose the best from one of them. In fact bitcoin has shown quite widespread adoption around the world and there are many people starting to consider buying in the way they can. The level of investment effectiveness is measured by the extent to which people can generate profits and if this is financial freedom refusing to accept is a bad decision.
333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: March 22, 2024, 08:09:29 PM
You said that participating in the lottery is very fun. I believe that this is the most important condition for participation, I mean fun. If a person is going to participate in the lottery to win, then most likely this is not the best idea. I like your attitude, having fun is the main thing.
I also agree that participating in all free such events is a very wise move. One day you may be able to win, but you don’t lose anything in any case.
In terms of the bets we place, it might be quite fun in the lottery because even though the money is small, we can get big wins if we are lucky. Togel is traditional gambling in my area and there are still quite a lot of old people who still play togel every day. The nature of having fun by spending a little money on the lottery is quite exciting for some people and I have even witnessed parents who are so enthusiastic about placing bets every day at the bookie.

I don't understand how to play for free in the lottery and I have never participated in it. What I used to do was usually place bets with much smaller money for the numbers I bought and I also won the game several times. But now I spend more time on slots and football when I want to gamble, usually when I have a day off at work.
334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 22, 2024, 07:29:20 PM
In the upcoming match, Arsenal will visit the Etihad stadium and if we look at their match history, we can see that it is very difficult for Arsenal to beat Manchester City at the Etihad stadium. Even though in the first meeting this season Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City with a score of 1-0, in the second meeting I think Manchester City will be the favorite to win it. These two teams are competing in the standings and their meeting will probably be fiercer than their first meeting this season.

I think if Manchester City manages to beat Arsenal then Arsenal has no chance of competing for the title this season. For this reason, Arteta does not want to repeat his mistakes this season, so this season they want to target the title, so the match between the two will probably be quite tough because they are both aiming for victory. On the other hand, Liverpool must also focus on their target of becoming champions, and Liverpool can take advantage of the final results of their two competitors as motivation for them to get 3 points when facing Brighton.
The reason why in the first meeting Arsenal managed to beat Man City was because they were without De Bruyne who was injured and the match also took place at Arsenal's home ground. Now Man City's strength is so complete and they have the advantage of playing at home so I think it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to beat Man City. The tension of the match is also different because it is a fairly important match for the start of the title this season so both of them will play quite carefully.

If Arsenal loses then their chances of winning the English league will be smaller, unless they can hold a draw or win the match. This will be a big match in the English league because there are bets on who will lose or who will win. But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: March 21, 2024, 10:10:30 PM
I take part in lotteries but I usually do not make a lot of hope to win a lottery. Participating n the lottery is the easiest thing but getting a win out of it may be the most difficult thing. By the way, its fun participating in online lotteries.

Of course, if you take part in a lottery, you would track its progress and the result. Although i do not think that i am too lucky to win a lottery but still I keep looking for the results and see if any day i would win something big.
In the past, I often placed lotteries at other people's places and we would wait for the numbers to start opening. I wasn't too interested in betting on the lottery after the rise of online gambling platforms began to exist because since then I have played more often playing slots and betting on football. The chance of winning is a little smaller, but it will be quite fun for some parents to place a lottery at the place of the person who is the shelter agent.

There is something funny when we place a lottery because it will match the numbers that came out previously and there are people who are actually very skilled at calculating numbers even though it doesn't guarantee they will get lucky in it. The lottery has become a traditional game in my area because there are agents who always accommodate people placing bets on the lottery, there are many old people who still place bets on the lottery in the traditional way now.
336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 21, 2024, 09:24:12 PM
Yeah I said the same thing already. Manchester United are doing this to state that they don't have much intention to let him go right now. I have heard that the players also want to see him back in the squad so we are quite likely to see him starting to play for Manchester United soon. Mason Greenwood is a really promising player so I would like to see him developing his game more to be a solid player.  
Mason Greenwood is still a Man United player even though he is currently loaned to Getave and I did not see Felix as a good step to be recruited by Man United as previously interest. I think Erik Ten rights only need a few lower players as a step to strengthen the defense and for other positions they have a fairly good player. Just waiting for developments and integrating the existing players because currently there are many potential young players owned by Man United.

Maybe for the team that has the player, yeah they can price that player at whatever level they would like. But the team that want to sign that player would consider their market value as well for sure. It wouldn't be the only parameter of course. His talent is also a big factor for the interested team to be willing to pay much higher sums.
Very few teams do not consider market prices for young players and the rest they will see the market price to buy players. I mean some clubs will try to use players to be purchased at a much cheaper price and different from clubs that have large finances because they can submit offers above most clubs.
337  Other / Archival / Re: Are investors investing in Bitcoin at ATH now are fools ? on: March 21, 2024, 09:07:02 PM
Currently the value of Bitcoin is 67k, it can be said that Bitcoin still has a high value. We all know and believe that Bitcoin will rise above 100k. As such, even if someone buys Bitcoin now at 70k price, it will not be a loss, he can still make a profit by buying Bitcoin now. Because the price of Bitcoin will increase. There is always someone buying bitcoins, it is impossible to stop buying bitcoins. Any time you buy bitcoins, only long-term holdings will benefit you.
This logic is the same as person who buy bitcoin when the previous ATH has not yet started, so the decision to buy can be made at any price, as long as they can hold the bitcoin until it reaches the next ATH. Basically there will never be a loss when bitcoin is invested in the long term because the bitcoin journey cycle will definitely repeat itself until it finds the next ATH. The problem is that when person don't understand the journey of bitcoin and when buying at very high prices can make them feel panicked at the sharp correction that occurs, that happens because person don't understand the cycle of bitcoin's journey.

As we have seen, investing in bitcoin is the right choice as long as person can understand the conditions of the journey. Buy and hold bitcoin after that there will be no problems that arise because the strength of bitcoin has been tested in its journey. If people don't buy bitcoin today, in the future they will lose the opportunity to achieve financial freedom because the dibitcoin investment system has been so tested at this time.
338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin becoming Legal tender on: March 21, 2024, 08:43:20 PM
Well it is indeed a situation that is sometimes very difficult to accept because when a country tries to legalize bitcoin as an alternative payment then indirectly they also have to prepare some supporting facilities just like El Savador did.
But even so it does not rule out the possibility when bitcoin continues to grow then I think it is still very possible for some countries to provide leeway in terms of regulation for bitcoin and it is not impossible for this to be used as a legal means of payment in the end.
For suggestions payment still has the opportunity to be applied in Bitcoin during the trip Bitcoin has found a vast adoption throughout the world, thus alternatives to payments using Bitcoin can be made by countries that have regulations regarding legal currencies. But when it comes to Bitcoin as an official currency in a country is still quite difficult to apply because of various considerations that make things much more unlikely. El Salvador can make binding rules because before they did not have official currencies in the country so that the potential of Bitcoin as an official currency became the right choice.

I personally actually for now do not really matter whether bitcoin will be used as a legal tender or not in my country because when now the government in my country is starting to accept and provide facilities for bitcoin to continue to grow it has become a very good thing even though currently bitcoin is still considered a commodity but still it is a good thing until now so that when the current regulations are favorable for my country and bitcoin because they still do not take banning action it is very pleasant for me.
Logically what is applied by the state about Bitcoin is quite satisfying as long as this asset is not prohibited. Bitcoin can be used as an investment asset that is more than enough even though there are regulations that regulate their levels. I also did not mind about my country that received Bitcoin as an investment asset because it was indeed a whole is still quite profitable for every individual in carrying out investment. With the legality of Bitcoin as an investment asset opening the way for us to achieve financial freedom and we also do not have problems with the law when running it.
339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 21, 2024, 08:22:27 PM
Well, I don't think that matters much. Whether they are playing at the Etihad Stadium doesn't really matter, especially considering the last match Arsenal had with Manchester City at City's home, which resulted in a two against five defeat that Arsenal inflicted upon Manchester City. So even though they were playing at City's home, Arsenal was able to beat them in their last fixture togetherr, as a competition. 
I did not see Arsenal successfully defeated Man City with that score and maybe you were wrong to see. The last time the two met in the English League Arsenal won the match with 1-0 at their own home and at the Community Shield Cup they drew. This season both of them only met twice so that Man City was still enough to be favored to win the match. Of course the match will change where the two coaches will study the strategies with each other, both Arsenal and Man City need a victory in the match because they will open the way to win the league.

In all cases Man City is far more favored to come out as champions, because they are far more potential to win matches at home, Arteta has the opportunity to hold Pep Guardiola's draw but the opportunity is still quite small. Now the condition of Man City players is almost fully fit so that their strength will be much stronger, different like matches that take place at home to Arsenal because Man City is not strengthened by creative midfielders like De Bruyne.
340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: March 20, 2024, 09:01:29 PM
Guys, do you often feel like me? when I raise the bet I lose and when I lower the bet I win. Does the casino system/algorithm know the betting patterns we make? So often when we bet big we are given a loss and when our bet is small we actually win, which is very annoying

I don't know if this applies to all games or not, but I feel like this often when playing table games. What do you think?
So what makes you think about continuing to increase your bet even though you know you will often experience losses and why not stick with small bets even though the profits are not big but you can guarantee victory. I prefer to bet on small trips rather than forcing big bets that always result in losses. At least, even though our bet is small, it can ensure that we play the bet for a long time rather than chasing a big win but experiencing a loss and having to stop.

In almost all games I feel the same as you and I get it more often when playing slot betting. Early wins at small tables always keep us motivated to move up the table stakes and ultimately lose all the money we put in. Sometimes we are aware of this, but when we bet on small bets it is much more difficult to control. Plus it doesn't affect bigger bets and I think most people experience the same thing as you.
