In the country where I reside currently, the prices of food items have skyrocketed. Worse still is that the country is experiencing food scarcity. In this nation, I'd agree that COVID has a role to play however a small one. The government of this nation is as corrupt as the devil. Peasant farmers can't go to their farms because of the high level of insecurity. Even when they successfully harvest their crops, transporting them to other regions is almost as difficult as a camel passing through the eye a needle. This is because the goods might be highjacked.
These factors and many more have made the economic law of supply and demand to become potent. Right now, the citizens of this nation don't care anymore, all they want to do is just survive.

You know you need help when your gambling becomes compulsive and unable for you to put under control, the good thing is that you are definitely not alone with this addiction and for you to come to the knowledge that there are others who were once addicted to gambling as is the case with you currently.
As the topic of the OP is asking "where to seek help"? It means that the party seeking the help has already come to terms with the fact that he needs help, which is first very important.
You may seek professional help from a therapist to help you first overcome the mental challenge involved with breaking free from the gambling addiction. Depending on the degree of addiction, the therapist may recommend some medications to help.
Talking to an individual or group of individuals maybe in self help group who have or have had the same gambling addiction and are really trying to break free or have broken free from compulsive gambling also helps

I'm certain that there are others like myself who often get caught up between words when looking for the proper pronoun to describe Satoshi probably in a written sentence or a discussion. I recently made a post that involved Satoshi Nakamoto and i didn't know if to describe Satoshi as a he, a she or they.
In my head i was thinking, if i described Satoshi as a he, has that made me a sexist or a male chauvinist who has eliminated the possibility of Satoshi being female?
What if i describe Satoshi as a She, has that made me exhibit misandry?
I'm really confused about the correct pronoun to use.
Furthermore, it is difficult to come to terms with the idea that an evolution in finance and money through a project this big was propagated and single handedly done by one person...Do you think describing Satoshi Nakamoto as "they" is more appropriate?
Please share your thoughts on this.

Oil is the most important. Without oil, we'd have a transportation crisis. Folks will not be able to move their cars, motorcycles, trucks, trains and planes from point A to B. It would be Hell. Without Oil, the world's electricity will be gone and people live in total blackouts. There would be food shortages worldwide because there'll be no electricity to power your refrigerator. Without the byproducts from crude oil, the world will be without the basic necessities of life, how would we manufacture paints and fertilizers, what about the plastics.
Think about it, not just money but oil is the most important thing in the world.

The world will not be 100% dependent on renewable energy sources anytime soon. I believe that renewable energy sources are meant to coexist or complement fossil fuels. I can only say that the world will definitely experience a decrease in the dependence on fossil fuels. However this is going to happen more in developed nations where they have the resources, policies and enabling environment to adapt and adjust. In underdeveloped countries, hmmm, I don't think so.
No matter how much progress the world has made now with solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, tidal energy etc we still have a long way to go and lots of ground to cover. Personally I am delighted that solving climate change issues, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all are part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Soon we'd achieve them

From OP, i believe that the context of this discussion has been limited to soccer alone, so i speak in that accord.It is a real gamble to bet on friendly matches because unlike playing in a competitive space, players sometimes lack motivation to give their 100%, coaches take it as a time to try out new strategies and also test the players they have on reserve.
The situation is even worse when there are very little or no spectators in the pitch to cheer. It is also easier for there to be the case of match fixing.
If you must bet on friendly matches, a tip from me to you which is not a must for you to take is that you do not bet on the whole game at a go, break your bets into two and bet on the first half first, then follow to place your bet in the second half after watching and analysing the first.

We all celebrate Satoshi not just because he is the creator of bitcoin, but because he was the first and boldest to take the first step towards the future. Bitcoin is the pioneer crypto currency and it is fair to say that all other creators of the early cryptocurrency that followed studied bitcoin first before their own creations having seen that the step was a step in the right direction towards the future of money.
So "yes", bitcoin caused the mass production of altcoins and other shitcoins. There are over a hundred altcoins out there and most were created by the creators for "pump and dump", a way to gather bitcoins and Ethereum for themselves.

Although many like my self are still waiting to see a bout between Errol Spence Jr and Crawford, the fight between him and the Pac Man will still be very much entertaining.
Errol Spence jr has made public that he plans to knock out Old Pacquiao into retirement but i seriously hope that he can perform as he has youth & speed associated with age as an advantage to him and a very impressive career record of 27 wins and no losses, 21 of them being KO.
On the other hand, the Pac Man is not going to be an easy opponent, he is very experienced and is preparing really hard for this fight as seen from his social media handles, he is also one of the greatest fighters alive and I hope he will be able to uphold his career record.

It is not just about reading, you can be a trader and a reader, but it so happens that you are reading the wrong thing and absorbing information that though not completely useless is not useful in trading, imagine i am a trader that reads a lot but it is mostly the romantic novels.
I believe the proper narrative should be "if you aren't keen on information, you shouldn't be trading" because reading the right materials, listening to right channels and news outlets and even discussions and conversations with the right people on the subject of trading are all useful ways of staying informed which is very necessary in trading.

These days, as more people become more aware of forex and cryptotrading, There are a lot of people giving unsolicited advice and tips as regards the subjects. The big question is who and where do you take your trading advice and tips from?
Do you get your trading advice and tips from a self acclaimed trading guru on YouTube or some social media platform who sometimes make most of their money from selling courses and not really trading?
Or do you take trading advice from this forum?
Do you get advice and tips from some telegram group you joined? Or do you get advice and tips from your friends?

The popularity of cryptocurrency will continue basically among millennials than in those who are aged 65 and above. For example, a poll conducted by Harris Poll in 2017 showed that; there was a 23% to 11% drop in the people who are unaware of Bitcoin. Secondly, there was a 40% to 60% increase among millennials who said they are "somewhat familiar" with Bitcoin. Thirdly, among respondents who agreed that the most people would be using Bitcoin rose from 28% to 33%. In addition, a look at the news and other online media will tell you that the popularity of cryptocurrency is not about to wane anytime soon, as a matter of fact, it is just beginning. See mention of the poll here; https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/ktorpey/2019/04/30/survey-finds-27-of-those-aged-18-34-prefer-bitcoin-over-stocks/amp/ |

Financial freedom and success comes from applied knowledge. Personally I believe that self-education trumps formal education. Jim Rohn once said, “formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” I'm pretty sure that the Bitcoin whales we have in the world 🌍 today didn't acquire their knowledge of cryptocurrency through formal education but were self-taught. And one of the best ways to make a lot of money 💰and be financially free and successful is to understudy those who are already financially successful.
There's always going to be a bull and a bear market, there's always going to be FUD, there's always going to be shitcoins, there's always going to be pump and dump seasons, there's always going to be a bearwhale and what-have -you. It is in these times that your knowledge will truly be tested and if applied accurately can result in huge financial gains. Ofcourse the reverse is the case.

I really like to read the terms and conditions but truly it is usually presented in a manner that does not support user friendliness so it is difficult for me to settle down and read the whole terms and conditions properly. To save myself from the drama, what i do is that i only use gambling platforms and sites that i have friends who have used it and got paid there hassle free, that is, i use gambling sites only by word of mouth recommendation or referral, not trying to be the first among my friends who i know gamble more than i do to discover a new gambling site.

If you gamble with the sole intention of making money, the probability of you loosing money is higher because in a bid to win the money, you might get too calculative and make mistakes and then you bite yourself too hard when you loose. But if you have fun while you gamble, there is an ease that comes with it having less anxiety and a higher probability to win. Even though you loose, you don't bite yourself so hard because you know you had fun while at it.
As ironical as it may sound too, you might not become addicted if you gamble to make money because if after many consecutive loses, you might just come to terms with the idea or fact that gambling is not the way for you to make money, you might stop and just find something else to do, which is good in most cases. But if you gamble for fun, you find satisfaction in it and it doesn't concern you the amount you loose from gambling, in no time at all there is a very high probability that gambling will ruin your life as you will definitely become too addicted that you may not see or want to consider the damage that gambling may be doing to you.

It is the duty of the government of any nation to do things and make rules and decisions with the interest/benefit of the people at heart. Having analysed the socio-economic life of its Citizens, some governments are aware that if they do not set high taxes and regulations against some vices like gambling, prostitution and some other things tagged as illegal, these things have the ability to topple a moral society.
The government is still aware that regardless of their regulations against certain activities like gambling, prostitution and others, these activities still go on as most of its citizens do not care and are ready to go against the law for it...so in a bid to control it, here's a rhetorical question, "why not make it legal and then impose a huge tax on it?" In order to gain from those who can pay the tax and discourage others who cannot pay the tax to not continue.

It is always important that we tell ourselves the truth all the time. If you truthfully in your heart know that you are the type that easily gets addicted to something and then this addiction becomes difficult to break, it is advised you do not even start to gamble because if you do, sooner than later, the whole totality if irresponsible gambling is bound to overshadow you.
In short, don't try to even become a responsible gambler when you know you are the type that cannot control his or her self. Do not start what you cannot finish.

In every aspect of life, for every skill set, the statement of unlearning which i believe you mean "letting go of old knowledge or a way of doing things" and relearning which is "acquainting oneself with the modern approach" is applicable because the concept of knowledge is dynamic and ever changing. For one to think that he has gotten to the peak of knowledge and doesn't need to keep sharpening up his skill set is simply deluding themselves into a near failure or becoming old fashioned.
As a trader, you must not get too comfortable when a trading strategy is working for you, you must still make a conscious effort to ensure that your strategy is kept updated. Learning is through out life because as times and season's change so is the need for the existing knowledge.
Be humble enough to be a student throughout life.

Marriage is a decision and an agreement, and the manner and style i want my marriage to be conducted depends on both people entering the agreement/union, that is we both choose how the ceremony will be conducted depending on our interests.
Some religions and cultures use the exchange of rings to symbolise a union, some others use the exchange of relics like the bible between couples to signify union. If i decide to get married, my wife to be and I can decide to signify our union in any way we choose, it is but a matter of choice.
From the choice of the Bitcoin marriage, it is obvious that they both are crypto conscious individuals who just wanted their special day to be the first of many. I particularly applaud them for their inventfulnes.

An addiction is a mental illness, and the major indication of an addiction is a lack of control. Unfortunately, many are more addicted to gambling more than they are willing to admit to.
The major characteristics of "lack of control" is "choices". That is the level or degree to which someone is addicted to gambling directly reflects on the choices he makes daily.
A simple decision to cut a meal so to have enough money or more money to gambling is a sign of addiction, a simple decision to ignore a social gathering in a bid to go gamble is a sign of addiction, the decision to keep playing and loosing ones income without even stopping to calculate and strategize properly for lower losses and wins is a sign of addiction. Having over 80% of your conversation daily with people about gambling even when they are fellow gamblers or not or show interest or not is a sign of addiction because one has not been able to exercise control.
