Gambling, to most, is a hobby. Hobbies by nature, should be enjoyable, they should be fun. The moment it stops being fun is when it becomes a problem and you probably need some time out.

The only person whose fault it is, if you lose enough money that it becomes a problem, is you.

With most addictions, the addict needs to take responsibility for their actions if they want to change. There is no point blaming anybody but yourself. All reputable casinos and sportsbooks do all they can to promote responsible gambling, you can set yourself limits. Ultimately, the punter is in control of their gambling habits.

Looking more and more like it’s definitely in at 38.6k





Resume Operation Number Go Up Technology.

I am quite confident we will beat Chelsea tomorrow night. My prediction is 2-0 or 3-1 but it won’t he easy. I do think we are better than Chelsea in pretty much every position on the field. So far we are not missing Salah too much as other players are stepping up with the goals.

We play Arsenal away at the weekend though, I think that will be much tougher, Arsenal are better than Chelsea.
For tonight I will watch Aston Villa vs Newcastle, should be lots of goals in that one.

Massive supply shock and subsequent parabolic bull run loading…..



@WhalePanda
Net inflow of $250 million in a day is crazy.
That is 5800 Bitcoin being taken off the market in just 1 day. Currently 900 BTC is being mined in a day.

Obviously at some point inflows will start slowing down a bit too. But I don't think we're there yet. All the ETF issuers have started marketing their ETFs. Price going up brings more exposure, which brings more inflows, which makes price go up more. Classic bull cycle flywheel mechanics even before the halving.

For references MicroStrategy bought $615 million BTC between 30th of November and 26th of December.
If we have 3 days of inflows like yesterday, it will really go crazy.

The amount of Bitcoin float will significantly drop over the next couple of days and once the price starts moving with limited supply left... Things can go crazy.

No, not $1 million crazy. Crazy for me is breaking ATH before halving.

NOT go the Full Distance 9

Got to be looking at handsome odds for winning four trophies

I haven’t spoke about it on the forum as it’s a bit raw still but I really hope Klopp goes out on a high. We are already in one final. What I really want is the PL title though. If we were to win that, Klopp would be even more of a legend than he already is, especially when he’s competing against a cheating oil state with 115 charges against their name.

What consoles me is that we have a lot of very young, talented players so when Klopp goes, providing we bring in a competent replacement, we should still be a force. It’s not like when Ferguson left Man Utd, he left them with a squad of declining players, past their best. Regarding a new manager, I’m on the Alonso hype train, bring him back to Anfield.

For the moment though, let’s enjoy the 4-5 months we still have with Klopp and go out with a blaze of glory. Chelsea are going to get it on Wednesday night, Anfield is a Colosseum now, for the rest of the season.

Oh yeah obviously, not your keys, not your cheese.

Don’t tell the boomers that though. Billions & billions of boomer dollars are going to pump our bags through these ETF’s.

Maybe just Grayscale selling due to the 1.5% fee is now slowing down.

I saw this earlier -

@BTC_Archive
JUST IN: Grayscale sends 8.6K $BTC worth $360M to Coinbase.
 
Lower than the $500m average from the first ten days.

Selling drying up... 🚀

Just setting up to watch Egypt vs Congo in the AFCON. Kick off in just over an hour. As a Liverpool fan, I really should want Egypt to get knocked out so Salah doesn’t try to rush to recover from injury and get back to AFCON.

I can’t help wanting Egypt to win though, I want Mo to be happy so yeah, come on Egypt.

BTC is looking strong, perhaps we’ve now made a low at 38k. The mini pump last night takes us to 42.4k now, the halving is less than 3 months away. Hopefully the Grayscale selling slows down and then we have a really bullish period ahead of us.

I’m the most bullish I’ve been for years right now. I hope you all filled your bags because we will make a new ATH in the next 12-18 months. I think with the potential capital available now due to the ETF’s then wild prices are possible, even $250,000 could be on the cards before 2026.

If you’re feeling emotional then you should step away from gambling and do something else with your time. If you are highly emotional, you’re more likely to take uncharacteristic risks and lose money.

Always practise responsible gambling, only gamble with money you can afford to lose. If you’re struggling then reach out, there are organisations that can help. 

I know there are lots of Nigerian posters on the forum so I’m rooting for you guys tonight.

There is not long to go, only 13 minutes to play against Cameroon and The Super Eagles lead 1-0. The quarter final is not far away.

Let’s not.

Very quiet January transfer window in the PL. I haven’t paid much attention to other leagues this January but in the PL especially, it’s been one of the quietest transfer windows I can remember.

I guess we’ll see if that continues for the remainder of the month, not long to go now until the window slams shut.

Egypt were far from impressive in the group stage but I guess all that matters is you get through to the last 16. Many teams have been unimpressive in the group stage of major tournaments but gone on to win them. It’s about peaking at the right time.

Salah will do everything he can to return in time to help Egypt. I think Klopp said, at best, Salah could be fit for the semi final so they are going to have to do a lot without him. I am unsure if they can go that far but like you said, they have a favourable route to a potential semi. Imagine Salah vs Mane again in the semi final (Egypt vs Senegal).

Imagine being somebody that sells BTC at $40,000 less than 100 days before the halving. Some people just can’t be helped and simply do not deserve the success that BTC brings patience.

I even include GBTC sellers in my disgust. Who cares about a 1.5% fee when you would then have to pay capital gains taxes.

Can’t wait for all the weak hands to hurry up and sell so we can resume NGU technology for the next 18-24 months.

HODL.

Sorry to see the situation you are in OP. Hopefully you learnt from this and maybe practise responsible gambling in the future.

I’m not judging you, sometimes we learn from the tough lessons in life though. I am sure you will be strong enough to gamble more responsibly in the future, good luck buddy.

Sorry, I only just saw this. We are in the final without too many scares. Fulham huffed and puffed but they didn’t threaten too much to turn it around. I didn’t feel we were in too much danger, even when they scored. Yet another final against Chelsea now, we will be favourites to lift the cup but Chelsea are still dangerous, even if they are so inconsistent. Will be a good game, I am trying hard to get a ticket for the final.

We now know the AFCON last 16 (full details in link below).

Angola vs Namibia (Stade de la Paix, Bouake, 5pm)
Nigeria vs Cameroon (Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, 8pm)
Equatorial Guinea vs Guinea (Alassane Ouattara Stadium, Abidjan, 5pm)
Egypt vs DR Congo (Laurent Pokou Stadium, San Pedro, 8pm)
Cape Verde vs Mauritania (Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, 5pm)
Senegal vs Ivory Coast (Charles Konan Banny Stadium, Yamoussoukro, 8pm)
Mali vs Burkina Faso (Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium, Korhogo, 5pm)
Morocco vs South Africa (Laurent Pokou Stadium, San Pedro, 8pm)

This tournament only really starts to get interesting now. As Salah has returned home through injury and is unlikely to play for Egypt unless they make the final I have a little hope Cape Verde can win it. They were impressive in the group stage. I went there once, beautiful country.
