It is normal to have something available in the current era. That's how the world works.

The same situations also happens to people in different era's like when industrial evolution starts, etc.

People are also devising plans on how to raise the young-uns and they did it, so it is possible to raise a significantly good young-uns in this era.

Just be yourself, and teach the things you know that will benefit your young-uns.


I agree with you that we should teach our children everything we know. But it is not only about teaching in my opinion, we also need to protect our children. Back in the days, it was very common to teach the kids at home. They had much less influence from outside than the kids got from school when I was young. But now with the internet and instagram and other social media you are in constant contact with each other. I read an article that the number of young woman who cut and hurt themselves has risen 400% in the last few years, due to constant bullying on social media. We need to help and protect our children.
3322  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the martingale system sucks! (doubling down on losses) on: May 11, 2021, 07:54:58 AM
A rookie mistake is thinking that the Martingale strategy is meant to help you win more games, which it really isn't. It's just there to offer you higher recovery chances by always doubling down on your losses next turn. This of course is a user-case basis and if you think you wouldn't be able to afford committing to the Martingale strategy, then you probably really can't. That's just it.
Not a lot of people knows that they think that it is a way to win against the house. For me, you can only do this effectively if you have the money to go on for long because you are going to incur a lot of losses in this strategy but the payout will be good if you hit the win because you will be able to take some wins and get a break even.

The martingale system is here to help us control our bets. If we follow the fixed set of rules our strategy will make us win in the long run. We know that to recover all our previous losses all we need is to win one time. Also the chances to lose our money is much smaller. When doing a coin flip we face 50/50 chances, but if we keep doing it for 10 games in a row the chances are much smaller. The big problem for many with the strategy is that they don't have enough bankroll to start with and use to large initial bets.

have been enjoying playing this, curious if anyone else around here enjoys this genre, you basically earn money, reinvest into your character, progress etc. pretty fun. nice to just see numbers go up and play a game where i dont have to babysit it nonstop.

This looks pretty cool, I haven't played it yet though. Do you spend a lot of real money on that game? Browser games are quite fun because they are usually more long term. My favourite browser game is Travian, I played it many years. You need to build cities, capture artifacts and fight each other.
3324  Economy / Economics / Re: I feel the report about UK economy losing 700 billion is wrong!!! on: May 11, 2021, 07:42:09 AM
I agree with you, these analysis with a time frame of more than 2 years are usually not very accurate and feel one sided. When looking at the vaccination numbers than UK is leading in Europe. This means that the UK economy is the fastest that can return back to normal and will be leading compared to other European countries. On top of that will UK be able to export all vaccines ones 100 % of the population is immune. Another important factor seems to me are going to be future trade agreements that will be negotiated within the next few years. The positive impact from such trade is hard to quantify today.

In my country we have one day for mother's day and one day for fathers day. If you ask me, I prefer fathers day because its much more fun. During mothers day it's usually just having a small gift and some flowers for my mother and we meet for a family lunch. During fathers day it's just me and my dad doing some out door activities while drinking beers
Much more fun  Cheesy
3326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling! on: May 11, 2021, 07:29:38 AM
Quote
After becoming addicted to online casino games in March last year, he lost £40,000 in the space of a month, losing half of that in just one night.

After losing that money too, he found himself in massive debt, and contemplated taking his own life.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-lost-20000-one-night-24067466

I don't know why they are caught up in this moment but I think people know the risks yet they still try. Was it appropriate for him to call the gambling firm wrong or he was right? (See the last part of the article or better read the 3 mins. article instead)

Being addicted to gambling is a serious problem. But how can you justify to bet 20,000? For me this is so much money, I would never gamble with so much money. I would understand if you have won so much money before and if you want to keep gambling with it. But why not just take a little profit, like at least 5k? As reasonable gamblers we need to make sure that we use risk management to put advantage. In my opinion we should only use a fixed percentage of our bankroll in one week or month, to control our potential loses.
3327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What really makes a cryptocurrency successful on: May 10, 2021, 04:13:51 PM
I wonder what really makes coin or token successful in the markets and the reason for this is because a lot of people state reasons like
"how good the project is, what the idea is all about, team etc)

But the truth is a large percentage of investors dont understand this technical terms when they read it and for all the claims of good team members, no one can really know how good a projects team is until the project progresses

So this makes me wonder what makes some projects instant success and gives them immediate acceptance from the cryptocurrency community

In my opinion the biggest two factors that make a crypto currency successful are market capitalisation and the trading fees. If the market is too small, or there are not enough investors and traders, than it is not likely that new investors are going to buy that coin. We want a coin that is being actively traded in larger sizes so we can buy and sell more easily. And the more trader there are the lower the bid/ask spread should be. As for fees, the more we trade a coin the more important it becomes that fees are not so high.
3328  Other / Off-topic / Re: 12 Secret About Men on: May 10, 2021, 04:04:10 PM

But let's admit that there are many of those mentioned above are true and happening? Like

- Men Learn from their Father (Mostly yes)

- Men acts to express Love than Saying this.

- Men Love when Women Initiate Sex .


Those Hints are truly for me lol.


Yes definitely it is true for a men, but I think it also counts for a woman. Like for example which woman wants to always initiate sex? It seems like a stigma that men have to do these things for a woman. Otherwise we might have to wait until we are old until something happens  Wink It is probably just in todays society that the feelings and dreams of woman and men became very similar.

Finally got my vaccine appointment for Wednesday this week. I am one of the last ones of my family to get the vaccine. So far everything went well but I am still a bit scared. Had to sign a form that people died from the vaccine and I need to be aware of the risks. If something happens there is no way my family can sue and get some cash. Kind of sad. Wish me luck guys.

You will be fine.  Unless you have an auto-immune disorder or are allergic to any ingredients you will be fine.

Which one are you getting?

I am getting the AstraZeneca one. Thanks buddy, it is all about remaining positive I think.  It just makes me a bit cautious when reading about all the possible side effects and most of the news just focus on the bad things that happen after the vaccine. At least I am getting 1 day off work  Cheesy
3330  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Seeking trading bot or similar. on: May 10, 2021, 03:42:46 PM
Problem: whiplash and stop losses.

I expect everyone has experienced this; you set your stop-loss only for the market to wick you in/out of your position and then promptly rebound in the opposite direction. As a case in point, I recently set a trading view alert for btc crossing a certain value which it did 5 times in one trading day. Very common at inflexion/pivot points on the market. And good luck manually managing that.

So what I'm looking for is a bot (or indeed anything relevant) that would allow me to set a stop-loss as a risk on/risk off point and buy or sell accordingly, not once but as many times as necessary.

Any thoughts appreciated. Sorry if this isn't the right forum.

I am no expert on trading bot, there is probably one exactly for your needs. However, I would be very careful when trusting a bot. We don't know how pure his intentions are and if he really will do the things that were promised. Your problem with the stop loss happened to me many times. I think we can solve the problem with he have dynamic stop losses that change with the price levels. Let's say our coin drops 5% in one day, but we are convinced that it is still a good coin. We should then increase our stop loss to not directly sell the coin but rather leave a bit more room for another drop.
3331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Esports Prediction & Discussion Thread on: May 10, 2021, 03:35:20 PM
Next goes Team Vitality vs Double Poney should be very easy for Vitality.
Astralis vs OG  that gone be a hard match im dont now who will win hard to say, maybe Astralis is the better team.

I would probably pick Astralis in that match. For me they are still a great team even though their performance wasn't so great lately. They still have some decent strategies and might surprise us again.

What are your picks for the Intel Extreme Masters Season XVI this summer?

The USA dollar goes down and down.
I Think its a hidden GEM. 
Definately Worthed to Buy it dollar is cheap and it has huge market cap and upside potential.
When this Rocket Will blast off to moon you better be on this rocket,  specially upcoming deflationary Stage.
And its ATL now and it gets Even lower few years later can sell it with huge profit I guess so.

Specially Biden politics who will create strong dollar no doubt about it. 

I am not sure about it. Biden is pumping a lot of money into the economy. They are trying to revive their economy, and a strong dollar would be bad for their exports. So even if the dollar would rise short term, the long term pressure  would be downward again. The easiest way to reduce the value of your currency is to just print more of it. I would be careful with buying too many dollars right now. Why not just buy cryptos instead?

3334  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin season ending in may ? on: May 10, 2021, 11:08:27 AM
Dear all


Now alt season started. Lot of coins specially 2018 ath coins now going for new ath. You can see xrp is moving like roket.

2018 how long alt season survived ?

I am currently holding aion coin. Its really blulish at the momement.

Experiemce tell me , when this alt season going to over  may or june ?



I hope not, there is no real reason why the party should end so soon. Stocks are still booming at the moment, maybe they can give another boost to cryptos. There is a saying for stocks that how May will perform, so will the rest of the year. June, July and August are usually the quite summer months. But maybe in autumn everything can pick up again. Going to keep holding my coins, no point in selling yet.
3335  Economy / Economics / Re: The change in buying and selling in society is the effect of the internet on: May 10, 2021, 11:03:40 AM
The way things were done in the past have changed from what it is. In the area of buying and sell especially, you can stay in your house and do all your shopping all because of the availability of the internet. Before this time, the internet was majorly used for sending of email and other short and non elaborate internet activities but all that has changed to real marketing online.
This has changed the economic system in no small extent that people prefer not to go to the market physically but go stay back home and in there comfort do the buying and selling.

Is the internet making people lazy or what do you think?

I think this depends for the type of person. Some people with definitely become more lazy and do everything from home. But for others the weekly walk to the supermarket or other shops is mandatory. If I look at my grand mother, she knows all the employees there by name. For her it is not only about buying but also about communicating with people there. Even on the way she can look what the neighbors are doing. Probably a lot of elderly people feel similar about going shoping in person.
3336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Tells His Mother Dogecoin Is Her Mother's Day Gift on: May 10, 2021, 10:42:53 AM
Isn't it funny that the influence of one man could cause a coin to pump? Truth be told, Elon Musk is a major influencer of the crypto market especially Dogecoin.
Now, I don't know his true intentions for shilling this coin but whatever it is, Musk is doing a good work at it.
And talking about Musk himself, I'd say he's quite ambitious and I wouldn't write his ambitions off as being impossible. All of the inventions that were ever made have been thought off has been utterly impossible at some time. If he believes we can have a multi-planetary civilization, the I believe it can happen, although it might take some time.

It is not only one man, but his word has a lot of influence. In my understand Elon Musk is the general and the reddit users from Wallstreet bets are the foot soldiers. We shouldn't forget that he owns two highly successful companies and even his first big company PayPal is a behemoth today. He seems to definitely has a lucky hand.
3337  Other / Off-topic / Re: What time do you go to bed? on: May 10, 2021, 10:39:20 AM
Usually I go to bed around 22:00 - 23:30, when there is no work.
In my opinion, by sleeping 4 hours a day there is no problem, as long as you can manage your stress level properly and exercise diligently every day.

4 hours is way to short for me. Sleeping around 7 hours is optimal, if I sleep too short or too long I am going to feel it all day and won't be as productive. Recently I started to go bed 1 hour earlier and wake up earlier too so I can do important things in the morning.
3338  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are you storing cash in banknotes? on: May 10, 2021, 10:29:17 AM
I'm finding it difficult to predict the economic climate in England next year. I have a number of investments and plans for wealth preservation, but I'm not sure what to do about daily living expenses. I upped my Visa credit card limit, as banks seem to want to encourage the use of credit cards, and I have a Visa and Mastercard debit card. A couple of years ago, the whole Visa system shut down for more than a day. That was blamed on programming errors, but I think it might have been a trial for an economic shutdown by the banks. I have a number of cash collections in banknotes, and a few coins, and those are in various locations. I'm concerned that my normal situation may be compromised, and I was to have some backup. Now fiat cash must be one of the worst savings ideas - probably second to fiat bank deposits. Do you think I am stupid, or are some of you keeping cash in case there are problems with electronic banking?

I am aware of Bitcoin. Smiley I think that is an asset to be kept, and used to help rebuild life after the economic reset.

Most of my money I have in assets like crypto currencies, stocks, real estate and commodity funds. Owning cash is not good at the moment because if rysubg inflation rates. But there is always the risk of having another big crisis. To protect ourselves from it the best we can do is to either store cash or gold at home. I personally have some banknotes at home as an emergency fund. If I had more money I would probably switch the banknotes for some gold.
3339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What age bracket is perfect for gambling on: May 10, 2021, 10:23:48 AM
I understand the points being made here about minors and gambling and I fully agree with them. Maybe I expressed myself a bit wrong. Gambling should only be allowed after 18, not before. The risk of becoming addicted to gambling as a minor is definitely higher. After 18 we usually finished school and either go to university or start working. At that age we are allowed to vote and drive. This is also a good age in my opinion to try yourself with gambling. Getting taught about gambling by our parents is good but we need to make our own decision to fully understand. This if course means that the gambling shouldn't be excessive. We need to protect the people who are not yet ready to protect themselves.
3340  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin for everyone on: May 10, 2021, 10:15:06 AM
This sounds very interesting, but we are living in a capitalist system. Goods and money are not being spread equally around. So far there are only a small number of political parties who want to transfer wealth between the rich and the poor. The same thing would need to happen with bitcoins. Everybody who has more than 120 USD of bitcoins would need to give their coins away.  How could we force people to do so? If one country would start to enforce such rules that the citizens who have bitcoins would probably leave and relocate to another country. Who here would be willing to give up all his coins?
