Never heard of it before. I love watermelon juice, it's my favourite juice but it doesn't seem to work for me. I might need to try it mixed with lemon, or are you adding anything else? For how many hours does it last?

But 1970 is a long time away, how can a young family these days ever afford their own house? The housing crisis in 2007/2008 was only a small dip on the average house prices. If you had money at that time you could have managed to buy a few bargains. However, since then the prices rose very high again. It is nearly impossible to buy an house these days with an average income. For example, if I would just buy an apartment right now with my salary and take out a loan for 75% of the value I would have to repay the loan for the next 35 years. This is insane, who knows what is going to happen to in 10 or 20 years, how can you go into debt for such long times?

That is quite an alarming growth rate to be honest. I got hooked myself on loot boxes a few years back during the CSGO skin hype. Seeing for how much Knifes and AWPs are being sold I wanted to try my own luck. When you see the famous Twitch streamers open cases after cases and getting the high end knifes you become jealous. The cases you get for free, but the keys you need to buy and nowhere it is written what are the real percentages to get a knife. I invested like 150 EUR over 2-3 months and kept opening cases, 99% of the loot was just 3 cent skins and completely worthless. I managed to get one knife which was really cheap though. In the end invested so much money to get a knife which was worth 40 EUR back in the day. After that I quite the loot box games, it is better to buy the skins directly and trade them over time in my opinion.

My grandmother got now the second injection and is totally fine. She had no side effects after the first and second vaccination. It took a while to get through the test center but everything was fine in the end. I think the vaccines are the real deal now and are our way to get through the pandemic. It is probably going to take another 6 months until I can get my vaccine but as I am eligible I will get it. The real question remains who many percentages of the population need to be vacccinated for all the lockdowns to stop? It would be nice if there is a fixed percentage of people who need to be vaccinated until everything can open up again. I haven't been on a proper vaccation since December 2019, can't wait for the world to go back to normal.

Reddit and Youtube are pretty nice, on both platforms I always find very interesting things. Facebook is in my opinion totally overvalued. I haven't logged into my acount for years and probably not going to do anymore. Instagram I never used.

I don't think this going to be very likely. While many people are investing in stablecoins and find them very attractive, the governments will be very reluctant to give away all their power easily. We know that the digitial USD and EUR are coming, so it seems more likely that the central banks are going to push and promote their own currencies. Having full control over the money supply and being able to print more money whenevery they please is the key to financial policies in todays world.

That is definitely true, but the opporunity cost of money is not that high at the moment. The savings accounts in my country over no real interest anymore, you need lock your money away for 90+ days at least to have maybe 0.25-0.5 % interest per year. The same goes for money market funds, you need to pay more fees that it take atleast 2 years to make back the fees before u have any profit. On top of that Looking at an inflation rate of 2% you are losing money by just letting it sit in the bank.

This is another reason why gambling and roulette is so attractive to most of us. Having a strategy with unlimited money is not really feasible, but we can try to protect ourselfs from having 10 bad beats in a row. The chances of getting 10 times red or black in a row a fairly small. 

I agree, bitcoins offer is freedom from the crazy monetary policies of our countries. In my country saving is just working anymore for the past 10 years. Effectively you are losing money if you do it, bank fees and inflation are rising while the interest on your savings account is falling. So investing into crypto currencies is the only real solution. And even if we don't make a lot of money by it, atleast we can store some value free from the government's.

It definitely increases the challenge for us employees and it might also increase the workload, but during home office it is just so much more useful. The pandemic changed so much of the average workday. Telefon conferences are so much more common now and take away a lot of time during the day where we aren't productive. On the other side, having a 1 hour lunch break seems wrong if you are just at home anyway. I like the new flexible work schedule.

The first step we will see happening is given every human in the world access to the Internet. Elon Musk satellite Internet has very good chances to achieve that. In my opinion the second step will be to increase the data requirements which makes speed much more important in the future. Once these two are done, we don't need paper anymore,everything can be done online.

I fully agree, everybody needs time for himself. And honestly it doesn't matter if you wake up earlier or if you stay up later at night. I am more of a night owl, so I like to go 1-2 hours to bed after everybody else, but we need to do what works for us and our body.

While I agree with you that computer programs are super effective these days and can easily bear a human, we would need a huge system to simulate the whole world history. Free will might be not true and we all just follow an algorithm. But why get up in the morning then? What if we all decide on one day this year where we are going to remain in bed? The whole world would stop for one single day, it would be chaos and mayhem but controlled by us. I really hope we are not in a simulation.

I like the idea of looking for low volume traded coins which are not so mainstream at the moment. There was a huge capital inflow into crypto currencies over the last few months. While the main alt coins still have room to improve and rise, we should look for alternatives to invest in. Low volume traded coins usually mean that there is a bigger spread between big and ask prices which could be taken advantage of by a good trader.

I noticed the same in my country, there are very public figures who appear rich and people just believe every word he says. I think we as investors need to be careful and check, if he is actually rich and how he got rich. If he has just money because of his public status and not by doing something extraordinary, then we shouldn't take him as a role model. Another thing I noticed is the super rich tend to very secretive.

Why are you under bidding me buddy? I am here trying to raise your market value and you are doing me like that   increase your prices so we can get both rich

BTW. Which part of you are getting then?

The problem is in my opinion that all countries are doing it. So saying that the lockdown procedures are wrong in one country would mean they are wrong everywhere. I don't think that any court would tell the government is wrong. First of all it would need to be the highest court instance of the country to declare the measures illegal. But what if the judges are wrong and a lot of people are going to did of it? The judges are probably scared to be liable when deciding against the government.

The first time i really started to gamble was straight after my 18th birthday. I went with some friends in a suit and tie to our local casino to play some blackjack and roulette. We lost it all  the next time I was gambling was poker during university. After watching so many casino scenes in movies I just wanted to see it for myself. During my math classes in school we did some probability theory with roulette and black jack. So I knew what I was getting into beforehand.

I find it a bit wierd in my country that you are only allowed to enter a casinos above 18 years, but on funfairs you were allowed to play lotteries and other gambling as kid already. The only difference is that you win physical prices and not money, but it is still the same. It can be very addictive aswell. My first memory gambling on one of this fairs was that I want to have some specific army figures for which you needed a lot of points. So I basically spent all my money for the fair over the weekend on this lottery stand and didn't even get enough points in the end. I wish someone would have told me a bit about gambling at such an age so I could have saved my money for some of the rides instead.

I have Foxpup-VIII, are you really offering 5001 BTC for it? Let me quickly put a sell in.

I definitely have seen the increase in suspicious gambling advertising, over the last few month I have been getting more and more spam emails about crypto currencies, gambling and also sports betting. One factor like you said is definitely the hype in online gambling last year, another factor is that the crypto prices rallied so much over the last 6 months. In my opinion the higher the bitcoin and major alt coin prices the more it attractive it is for scammer to work in this area.
