I think it's difficult to do that, at the least you should be interested in the game to bet on it but at that point you're betting blindly which isn't a recommended thing to do since you're just relying on luck or which teams looks cool. To me, it feels like there needs to be some level of interest and knowledge of the sport that you're betting because without those, the analysis on which one you're picking is going to be mediocre at best, imagine betting on MMA and on a fight against Khabib and you don't know a thing or two about MMA and how good Khabib is and his record is and you just blindly bet then you're going to be seeing more losses this way. Also, who does that anyway? Not watching the match when you're placing a bet? There's got to be some trick to it and some people are probably thinking that it's probably some sort of superstition. Maybe if it comes to not having a lot of time to watch, I can get why you still place bets but not watching and having no basic knowledge on that sport is a really bad practice in my opinion.

I'm not a particularly religious person so from what I can tell you is that I don't really have done this kind of thing before, the closest thing is probably the vacation part and I really don't do any kind of break or phase before I gamble, I don't gamble a lot anyways so technically I've got a really long phase no matter, vacation or no vacation and although I'm like that, I can feel that I wouldn't be able to do the long phase before gambling again because when I gamble, I almost always want to quit playing but I want to pass the time so I continue doing so, I'm the obsessive kind of person so whenever I feel like I love what I'm doing, I don't want to stop doing it and the breaks in-between that activity is always full of excitement.

Congratulations on the win, it's a really awesome thing when someone's sharing their wins and it's a big win too and a difficult one at that, it's hard to win these multiple bets so you definitely have some luck on you OP. Regarding your take on losses and wins, I don't believe that even if it does pay, the losses far outweigh what it pays, and in a literal sense, gambling definitely pays too, if it didn't then people wouldn't be risking their money to try and double or triple it right? This kind of thing also gives out a sense of false hope that's in the same realm as saying "that if I can win this much, you can win this much too", gives out a dangerous precedence because they think of this opinion as a statement of facts.

So to everyone that's being inspired by this to try their own luck in gambling, think twice because you're not the same as OP and you should always gamble with the expectation that you're going to lose money rather than gain any, that way you're not playing to get frustrated but to have fun.

They're still both requiring KYC so I don't really like to choose any of them, my pick would probably go to the one that's got more enjoyability and the experience in playing there isn't stressful despite the losses because of the bonuses. That's my pick and I either haven't seen this kind of casino before or I stick to one or two whichever I felt like playing that day. As much as the decentralized got the advantage of an improved provably fair games, I think that experience will always be a factor to me and maybe how easy it is to register/create an account on their website.

Legally the bolded part is the default thing that's going to happen, the borrower dies without fully paying the debt, the family would inherit it like a property. Definitely not anyone can be a guarantor, remember that some people need to have some form of credibility to be able to give out an assurance that the borrower would pay, I'm personally not a fan of guarantor because most of the time, the people knows the borrower and their verdict or recommendation to get a loan could have some bias mixed in which isn't good. It also depends on what estate was left behind by the borrower, if there's only one land and it's entitled to the son, that land could possibly be used as a form of payment to that debt via liquidation of that land.

This is why you don't get into gambling or should start gambling when you're already a family man, you'll almost always drag down your family with you because of that habit and debt is a really bad legacy to leave behind for your loved ones, it's going to make you a one sad grave that nobody visits because you've left them something that was your responsibility in the first place.

The depletion of fossil fuels is going to be more rampant now even though there's a lot of renewable energy and nuclear energy that's being utilized now, a lot of countries are going back to using fossil fuels, the biggest story that I've seen in years is that Germany is going back to using coal for a reliable energy source but I don't believe that because they've also shutdown their last nuclear power plant and there's probably other countries out there that's following suit to what Germany has been doin, and the answer for OP's question is that it's not going to run out anytime in our lifetime at least, there's about billions of years of life that's existed before us which means that there's a lot of buried carbon somewhere on this planet not to mention that oil is still the most used fuel for cars and there's still a lot of oil deposits that aren't completely untapped by refineries.

I think we still have time too because even if these countries are going back to fossil fuels, the hydroelectric powerplants, geothermal plants, solar powerplants and windmills won't just suddenly stop working so with a split like that where people are still using other means of creating electricity and using different fuel, fossil fuels won't easily run out.

Totally agree with that but look at the world around you, can you enjoy something without the need for money? I don't think there's not a lot of things that someone can do and enjoy without having to spend money anymore. As much as what you're saying is true, the problem is that the reality of life, the cancerous capitalists are making all the things that we used to enjoy for free commodities that we have to pay to enjoy, want to go on a climb on a mountain? You can't pass because it's dangerous and you need to pay some fee so you have a tour guide and you have to pay for our stuff that you'll want along the hike trail at an enormous price because you've got no choice, you're on a treaded path and you can't explore other paths anymore, hiking has become cumbersome to do because you're not doing it for free anymore, someone's locking the entrance to the mountain.

Maybe the things that we wished is true, that this world isn't all about money anymore and we can still do things besides for the money, maybe if we create an anarchy society, we would see an abolition of the norms or if we all revolt to make the capitalists pay their long dues to the people, you know not full on Bolshevik revolt, just keep them in line and make sure that their serving the people and not their board of members then maybe we would see some semblance of hope that things aren't just for money.

Totally agree and as much as I think logically in this situation, the feelings of OP's wife should've been the one that's more prioritized compared to a small profit of hodling but now that things are over, it's probably time for OP to give back to his wife if he wants to keep her because if that celebration was supposed to be a big deal to the wife then there's going to be a problem and resentment is a really good way to destroy a marriage even if you think she's okay with the idea and you let her understood your intention of cancelling that event, she's still going to be mad at you and she'll definitely bring up that issue when you're arguing and you're going to have a problem. Hopefully OP's wife is understanding and that she'd done a different thing unlike most women about their emotion.

And to you OP, you just lost the privilege to cancel another event without that big of a backlash because there's definitely more and bigger consequences when you do this kind of stuff again, if you want to avoid that, you might want to open a dialogue with your wife about this because there seems to be some miscommunication or no communication between the two of you about this stuff.

For me, if you fail on how you manage your finances, you're going to have a problem with your spending no matter how many income you've got, the only difference that you've got is that you've got more money to waste than most people so you won't quickly feel the effects of having a bad spending habits. I do agree that proper utilization should be a thing that you should focus and definitely much better than having multiple streams of income in terms of priority but I'd like to counter the fact that it's the superior one than the two because I do believe that if you can actually use them both, you're better off financially.

Think about this, when you've got a smart way of spending your money each cent that you've got in your name is going to have a purpose but then you're a person that needs to have other things too, you know, small luxuries in life here and there won't hurt and if you only do utilization without the effort of increasing your income, you're bound to have a problem or would reach a ceiling that utilization alone wouldn't cut it anymore and won't lead you to financial wellness because you should be doing this most of the time when you're living from paycheck to paycheck. Again, combination of this too is much better than choosing one and in terms of priority, definitely choose to maximize financial utilization.

Exactly, and OP probably hasn't even been to some parts of the country that's got a lot of problems like muggers and roadmens, once OP settles in there, him falling in love with the country is definitely going to fade away and it's weird too that he's fallen in love with such a country when every Brit that I've talked are trying to get out because the weather there is rainy and there's not a lot of colors in the sky, most of the time it's gray but I could be biased about London because all I see about that city is negative, maybe there's something to love about them. Also I feel like OP is a rich person because London is such and expensive city right? And there's no way that he could see those opulent stuff without being able to afford it.

That's why I said that it wasn't created for that, if you actually read my post, I've talked about the financial freedom part in a sense that it's the people are the ones that have thought it's what bitcoin gives them and not the other way around. You're asking what way could it give financial freedom, are you new to bitcoin or something like that? Because I think the fact that there's no middleman between transactions is a freedom in of itself so what are you talking about? That it's not written in the whitepaper? Sure it's not but that's besides the point don't you think? Anonymity is the same as being free right?

Yes it wasn't created for that, it was supposed to be a system of online payment where the actors are the buyer and the seller, there's no middlemen like the bank, that's what's in the abstract of the whitepaper that @Maus0728 shared, at least that's what I understand from that abstrac but it didn't say that it's supposed to be doing any kind of giving us freedom but from what it did over the years, I guess you could say that it's what bitcoin gives the people, the freedom from the banks.

To me though another thing that bitcoin has given me besides the freedom is the fact that I've had my eyes opened on things that I'm otherwise blinded if bitcoin didn't lead me to believe in them.

But just imagine for a second what it could do if that's not the case and everyone just continues hodling, I don't think that something bad would happen because when there's no one that's willing to sell their bitcoin then the people that wants to buy bitcoin will be forced to increase their buying price to attract people that wants to sell their bitcoin, that's how I see that scenario play out with bitcoin increasing in price because everyone's hodling. I agree that each hodlers are unique because some of them have a hard lives to live and most of them don't have other ways to get money when an emergency comes, they'll eventually sell even if they all preach hodling for a really long time.

I think that there's only P2P that's available before even a centralized exchange has existed in bitcoin, plus mining is fairly easy back then so if you want your bitcoin, you can just start mining and you'd get a huge reward already. It's a mixture of chat between the two people that wants to get something from someone and they'll pay them with bitcoin. What I'm really curious about is if escrow services have been a thing before exchanges and it's all just P2P, I guess it's still a matter of trust when it comes to this kind of doing transactions back then, I wonder too about the transaction fees, how much was it?

Good, that means that you're not going to be wavering or selling too early because you've got a goal. I do think so too that it's too early but it's bitcoin, it's always volatile and unpredictable, you will make do the patterns but it's not going to be that accurate to correctly predict the movement. I do feel like bitcoin is going to go much higher but I don't think that it's going to be that way all the way, we'll probably see something much more bad that will happen to the market called a black swan event. Bitcoin going 60k to me doesn't seem to faze me, it's not yet my target selling price so to me, this is just another increase in price to me but good for the people that have been hodling since the bottom, you can enjoy a profit now but I know that you're all still hodling.

What the hell is happening man, someone's definitely making money out of all this because there's no way that they end up there out of thin air and that person that's selling them those weapons are definitely protected by someone really big in either US, Mexico, Ukraine or Russia or it's a really evil and influential arms dealer. There's really no end to cartels with more people still doing drugs, hopefully we can see some more movement that will destroy these cartels, they're a really scary group and it's really weird that the government doesn't do anything that's targeted at eradicating these groups. It's not even the most devastating weapon that the cartel has got, didn't they also got a missile launcher and some armored vehicle, there's also the fact that they're being trained now by retired Mossad operators or any special force operators.

Could've been easily solved if they've implemented some form of Universal Healthcare and Universal Income, there have tests about this before especially the Universal income and the results are fantastic because one keynote on why it works is the people that are on this welfare, didn't quit their jobs which some of the people that are against this are saying will happen, it instead created a buffer to help this people live a better life and have more general happiness than those of the same state of life but with no universal income, I think that developed countries should start considering doing this because there's definitely lots of taxation in there and it's not a bad idea that those excess tax would benefit the people that are paying them. It's a domino effect in my opinion, when you help your people that are on the or below the poverty line, you'd be able to make more people in the country more prosperous and with more prosperity means more taxes and budget for the country thus creating a bigger economy, I mean that's the simplication of solving the problem that you've presented.

But still, the CEX are holding the money anyway which means that they can runaway with it anytime they want and people won't have any kind of ability to chase them, remember Mt. Gox? I think that the reason that Gensler been saying this is because a lot of us are trading bitcoin, and most of the trades are happening in CEX. To me, decentralization is simple, it's that there's no head that leads the way, everyone's free to do what they need to do like an anarchy society.
