Do you think that all the boobs are beautiful ?

Yes of course, we must praise the boobs. Is there an international boob day? If not, we should make one  Cheesy
3502  Economy / Economics / Re: The Country Cryptocurrency vs Bitcoin on: April 22, 2021, 07:46:41 AM


some time ago the UK finance minister openly said he wanted to beat Bitcoin by creating Britcoin.  i see his ambition is really absurd, even though we know the UK is one of the most powerful countries on earth that has ever controlled 1/4 of the world but beating Bitcoin is mission impossible.


This sounds impossible in my opinion. The UK is just too small compared to the whole Bitcoin market. Even now after leaving the EU it will be especially hard. Making their own coin is fine, but who is going to buy it? Do they honestly expect the whole world to switch into Britcoin insteads of BTC? The chances for that to happen a very very small. Mission impossible is a good comparison.
3503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have anyone tried to stop gamblers from losing while they keep on wagering. on: April 21, 2021, 11:47:50 AM
It's really hard to stop someone that tries to recover his losses, even if you stop him his mind keeps telling him to bet more because he can't still accept the reality that his bankroll is gone in just few minutes. Greed is really difficult to overcome because our opponent here is our own emotion. Having a self-control and discipline is also not easy to have. I think most of us experience this in our gambling journey and being an optimist, it taught me a lesson to never chase your losses in gambling. Just exit that casino and relax yourself by doing other stuffs.


I agree, just telling someone to stop will maybe make him stop for an hours or half day. But the losses are always on our head and we keep thinking about how to recover them. If we really want to help someone we need him to fully understand that he is facing the risk to lose even more money. To fully change the mindset a change of scenery could help. Getting out of your own comfort zone can help a lot. So far I always managed to stop myself. Hopefully if it ever gets to far my friends will help me.

One year ago there was a deadly outbreak in the world called covid19, which scared alot of us, many lives where lost, business was shut down, economy where going into recession, nobody knows there next step in life, every body was scared of death.
    I want to thank the World health organization and all health workers in the world for giving us hope, for risking there lives for the people, you are my true hero.

I think all the hospital and retirement staff are the real heroes of the pandemic. Almost everybody has to do overtime and the care of covid patients is very difficult and time consuming. Working in an covid ICU must be devastating. Half of the patients are dying and in such a horrible way. Watching how the lungs collapse and people suffocate must be a huge burden for any nurse.
3505  Economy / Economics / Re: World risk - global on: April 21, 2021, 11:36:42 AM
A big bitcoin exchange hack I would put on the to left corner. With the bitcoin price being between 50-60,000 USD there is a lot of money being invested. If news would spread that a big exchange got hacked than the prices would probably fall. And when the stolen coins are being dumped into the market than the coins would fall even further. So the impact would be severe while the chances are not that high. We have seen big hacks in the past and the companies upgraded their security.
3506  Other / Off-topic / Re: COVID HERE TO STAY? on: April 21, 2021, 11:19:24 AM
Hey guys, i currently live in CA, im wondering do you guys think covid is here to stay for awhile? its getting really bad out here since its been a few sunny days. im hoping covid wont be a problem in 1-2 years and we can all go back to normal living


This is really hard to say at the moment. Some experts say that once everybody got a vaccine we will be safe and corona can be forgotten. But other experts say that the current mutations in South Africa and Brazil are just the start. It is likely that we are going to see new mutations that will be immune to the vaccines. All we can do is pray.
3507  Other / Politics & Society / Re: RELIGION IT'S POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY on: April 21, 2021, 11:16:06 AM
In my society or the society at large Religion has been my basic concern, have been seeing the role religion is playing, the positive and negative aspect of it.

   So today you will tell me the positive and negative impact of it in your society or Environment.
  I go first,the positive aspect of it have seen is it brings unity among group of people, while d negative aspect of it is too much;
(1) so many people have been brain washed all in the name of Religion
(2) people spends more time to their religion which has affected so many lives
(3) people think religion will liberate them from poverty.

Im my country religion plays no big role anymore. I remember my grandparents were going to church every week and praying every morning and night. With hindsight it was a good think to be honest. Religion helped them to live a better a life. But what I can't understand is how some people misuse religion for their personal gain and fight wars.
3508  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who’s more powerful? The players, Fans or Clubs on: April 21, 2021, 11:05:01 AM
I think 3. The Fans are most important for a team. Without them a football club has nothing. Imagine an empty stadium before the corona pandemic. If all fans would boycott a trainer or a certain player than I am sure that he would be fired or transfered. Without real fans who watch every game, buy club merch and support their team no matter what, it would be very difficult for a team to exist. The best example of the power of fans is the European super league, after not even a week it ended because of fan boycott.
3509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Full of get-rich-quick opportunities at Bitcointalk on: April 21, 2021, 06:22:06 AM
Yesterday I saw someone mention #Dogira at Bitcointalk, then I went and bought it and quickly made twice as much money!



Thanks to this platform, it's full of get-rich-quick opportunities!!! Grin

I woulld be careful with blindly trusting recommendations. Sure there can be good ideas here in the forum, but in the end we should all just do a little bit of research on our own. At the moment we are still in an crypto rally. Bitcoin is looking pretty strong, and a lot of other Alt coins are also rallying. If you are a short term trader and only looking for quick profits then looking for ideas on the forum is good. Just don't invest all your money into one coin that you know nothing about just because someone told you to do so.
3510  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Did you take the vaccine? tell us what happend? on: April 21, 2021, 06:05:01 AM


Also, a fact that our local government is giving it to us for free vaccine shot. I am afraid and I search the internet about what happened to the people who voluntarily took the vaccine and there is no direct answer.



The problem with the vaccine would be that if people had to pay for it, that poor families couldn't afford it and others wouldn't want to use their own money for it. The AstraZeneca vaccine is cheap for 2$ but the other ones cost 10-20$. And we keep hearing horror news that the AstraZeneca vaccine is not good, so going for the cheapest solution might be wrong.

In my family everyone above 65 already got the vaccine, most of them got the Biontech Pfizer vaccine and didn't really feel any side effects. Only my StepDad go the AstraZeneca vaccine and he felt tired for a day or two after the injection, but no fever or anything.
3511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Curacao license scam on: April 21, 2021, 05:53:10 AM
Hello friends,

I'm shocked  Shocked about the number of crypto casinos using the same gaming license from Curacao! Please take a look at this post: https://game-protect.com/curacao-license-scam/

They are scam or not? Can we play safe  and withdrawal our winnings or not?

What do you think about?
Thank you.

Have a nice day!


Why should a casino who owns a licence be directly a scam? To be honest I would be more concerned with a casino if they had no licence at all. For online casinos they can freely choose where to relocate their headquarters and which licences to buy. As far as I am aware the annual cost for a gambling licence in Curacao is fairly cheap. You can get one for less than 10,000 USD.
3512  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I'm wondering who trades with paid signals? on: April 21, 2021, 05:46:00 AM
Good afternoon to all traders. I have 6 years of experience as a trader, and here I have a question for everyone

Are there people here who want to join a team of traders and receive tone signals?

Do you have some examples of the signals are you using? Is it a program you are using?

I traded in the past based on some black box system which offered a variety of signals. You had to buy monthly subscriptions for the program to get the licence. In the end I made some profit but the more I used it, the less comfortable I became with receiving trading signals without knowing how they are generated.
3513  Economy / Economics / Re: Mapped: The Top 10 Billionaire Cities on: April 21, 2021, 05:41:11 AM

"The richest of the rich are quite concentrated in cities, but some cities seem to best suit the billionaire lifestyle. Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 billionaire capitals and the collective net worth of all the ultra wealthy that live there."

Which city will be the best for Bitcoin millionaires in the coming years?


It looks like Asia is the place to be at the moment. Security will be a big problem in South America, Africa or the Middle East. So we have to choose between North America, Europe or Asia in my opinion. Both America and Europe are a mess right now, I think that the number of Billionaires is growing in Asia. So for any Bitcoin millionaire who can afford to relocate I would advise to go to Asia as well. There are plenty of countries with fairly low cost of living with a high standard.
3514  Other / Off-topic / Re: ⚽ The European Super League ( ESL) on: April 21, 2021, 05:01:07 AM
I don't know why so many people are against this idea of the European Super League ( ESL). The best teams need to play against each other. I don't understand what Manchester United gains by playing against a team like Sheffield United, or Real Madrid gains by playing against Huesca. What is the point in these lop-sided matches? And that is why they came up with the ESL, which seems to be a good idea and a treat for the football fans. The opposition to this is emotionally driven and unjustified.

Because every team can win. Even if you have a small chance your team can have a perfect team and beat the favourite. What are the Top clubs losing by playing against weaker teams? The fans definitely want to see it. I am so glad that there are so many fans protesting against their clubs. Stop this league directly at the beginning is the best way to get rid of it. I hope all teams are going to withdraw.
3515  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Denmark Banned AstraZeneca vaccine for good on: April 20, 2021, 09:41:38 AM
People are afraid of might be the effect of vaccine in their body, I think its not just AZ who has this kind of effect its just that they're the most of all visible .. like blood clot, dizziness and headache etc those are but a foreign object getting inside your body and since your body is not familiar with it off course they will cause some kind of reaction. So its up to you to take the vaccine or not.

I heard from some older friends of my parents who are above 70 years that they don't want to get vaccine because of AstraZeneca. Even though they could choose a different vaccine they don't want to get any at all. The bad press from the two vaccines AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson seem to make more people scared. We need better information about the long term effects of the vaccines.
3516  Economy / Economics / Re: How is it supposed to be alt coin season after bitcoin falls? on: April 20, 2021, 08:01:58 AM
I hear everyone talking about how it's going to be alt coin season when bitcoin season is over. But how? Whenever bitcoin falls, for some whack reason alt coins follow suit. Even those coins whos projects have nothing to do with bitcoin like Vechain.

I really feel like we've hit the market cycle top earlier than expected tbh

To me it looks also like a fairly high correlation between alt coins and bitcoins. If there were a big drop in bitcoins then I don't think that alt coins would start to rise. Most of the investors are holding bitcoins and alt coins. So it one position would go down I don't think that selling it and going into another coin would happen. If a big price drop would occur overnight then most of the investors would likely just hold their coins. You don't want to be grabbing a falling knife.

What do you think about it? after death we can back again in this world? You can explain your own beliefs, I think this is a important chapter in our life.


I don't think so. We don't know this for certain but I can speak for myself, I have no memories of any previous life. If I was on earth in the past then I must have forgotten everything. Also if we all would come back than the world would be overcrowded. I think we only have life.
3518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You won today, but then you will lose often on: April 20, 2021, 07:10:53 AM
Ever since my first win in a bet, I have been finding it hard to win again. It's very pathetic hoping and believing that am going to win again. It saddens my heart that I have spent much more money than what I have collected from my first win of bet.
How I wish I could let go of this stupid addiction to gambling. Am been bankrupt because of it (gambling)

The first time we gamble, we can easily win and attract us to play again on the other days. We will think that playing gambling is easy because we can win the games. But we will hard to win again and even if we try more and more, that will not give us a bigger chance besides losing more money. The risk that we will get because of trying to play more is only losing the money and we will not have a bigger chance to recover the lost money. You can try to stop gambling for a while and trying doing something that is not related to gambling. You need to prevent your mind from thinking about gambling and that is why you need to make yourself busy with the other activity.

I think our mind likes to play tricks on us. We always focus more on the winnings than on the losing chances. We see the potential profits and already take it for granted. It looks like our mind under values risk and over values rewards. It therefore very important that we keep our personal risk management in check. Maybe our friends or family can help us to control our gambling habits. Avoiding a gambling addiction or helping us to fight it is very important. We can't do it on our own.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE CLUBS:

“Today 12 football clubs jointly announced an agreement competition, the Super League.

AC Milan, Arsenal, Atlético, Chelsea, Barcelona, Internazionale, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham have all joined.

Three more clubs are expected to join as Founding Clubs before the inaugural season, which is expected to start as soon as possible.

In the future, the Founding Clubs look forward to consulting with UEFA and FIFA in order to work together".


It is hard to judge at the moment if this is going to be a real competition to UEFA or FIFA. The national teams will always have to compete in their own country first. This is were most of the fans go to Stadiums and watch games. The big Champions League finals are very rare and too expensive for most fans to go too. Having now these super leagues means that is a closed club, there is no competition against medium tier clubs anymore. Which what made Europe League and Champions League so fun too watch. It could always happen that an outlier club comes in and steals the shows. I hope these small closed leagues are not going to be the future of football.
3520  Other / Politics & Society / Re: AFRICA: where did they lose it ? on: April 19, 2021, 12:24:38 PM
    Africa had been the cradle of civilization since human existence but along the way something happened they lost everything, no power no might no authority, nothing literally nothing, everything was lost all of a sudden the same Africa that was labeled the cradle of civilization was also tagged with incessant racial abuses, violence and attacks.
  Egypt as we all know is the cradle of civilization and it is situated in Africa I don’t want to lay emphasis on how Egypt lost it entirely, but rather how come Africa lost it entirely, para venture the Egyptians lost it at least another African country/state/nation would have risen to collect the mantle of leadership the United States of America is enjoying now. This is not a long thread but just a question from a concerned fellow willing to know why Africa lost the mantle of leadership.
  Meanwhile please I don’t want religious people to come under the comment section to quote the holy book for me/us all , I only need I need philosophical ideas why you think Africa lost it, also don’t misunderstand this piece I’m not saying there’s no African state doing well that’s not the point .

The problem I see with Africa is that lost their wars in the past and were being subjugated by either Britain or France. Almost all of the African continent was either a colony of one of these two countries. Sure Germany and Italy had some land too but fairly small compared to the other two. The colonies meant that all the local resources were exported to support either France or Britain. There were no big investments in their countries. On top of that were there countries like USA who exported the local population as slave labors. If Africa would have been able to survive on it own and repel all the foreign invasion they would be in a much better position today.
