Another reason for this problem is that expenditure is higher than income.  When a person earns 3$ and spends 4$, he has to borrow the remaining 1$ and pay it back with his salary. This is how the debt started. This is how people continue to borrow. This is how he  No more saving.  There is an overpopulation problem with it.  If there are 8 members in a family and only one earner, how will that person save money?
This purely inflation. If the amount you are spending is more than what you are earning, you need to take some balance to check your spending limits, your demands, your needs and your wants; reduce your wants and focus on your needs so as to get balance or you will be a debtor for life because your salary will only be use to settle your loans so that you will be eligible for another loan. That is why wise people says that if your salary is your only source of income, then you are just one step away from poverty, that is why it is advisable to have a side hustle apart from your main work.

Tech, web development, and other skills can earn us more money to stop relying on our salaries; if we have side hustle, we will have chance to save money for investment and for future use so that we cannot be debtors for life. Let's use our time to learn skills that will help us in the future.

Multi bet if you choose Chelsea and Man City with the odds owned @3.68 but if you place a single bet both will be more because I think the curiosity between Chelsea vs Aston Villa is still doubtful even though Chelsea has won several times but because playing at home there will always be motivation to win again for Chelsea.

I will choose Chelsea single bet @2.00
Man City @1.80.
Why do you have so much confidence about Chelsea at stamford bridge this night? Remeber the match is against Aston Villa that is on form this season.
Playing a single ticket carying both Chelsea and Manchester City to win will have a good odd, and it will likely come, but if we remember that any of these teams are hungry of any trophy this season, then we will know the risk behing staking a handicap game for them; Play both team to score instead to reduce risk and avoid losing money if any of these teams fail to win.

After watching Osimhen play in the African cup of nations,I just think the striker is overrated,I mean I didn't see anything so special about him,he misses chances so much that I cant see him cost upto 100 million pounds.The only thing I see good about him is that he is tall,and he controls almost all the ariel balls that come upfront.He is also a nightmare to defenders but he is overrated.If he gets to England,I think he won't be able to get this recognition he is getting in Napoli.He will flop because England pattern of football is just like the Africans own where they play phisical football,so if you aren't strong phisically,you won't Excell.
Every striker miss chances, and he is not overrated. His performance is a bit low compared to his team performance because it is a country's game with different players that you only train once in a while, unlike your team players that you all train daily, how do you expet his performance to be the same? If he signed for any England team, he will perform well based on the Premier League style of football. Any team that will be able to raise huge amount od money to sign him will have good good playmakers that can create as much chances as possible for a striker to convert, and Osimhen is good at converting chances, he is just having a bad form in the AFCON competition which might end soon.

England Pattern of football is not the same with Aftcan football man, there are alot of professionalism in English football which is not in the African football. We have seen so many players that couldn't play well in their country side but they are playing well in their club side, this is normal.

Even though many say Real Sociedad can beat PSG because they are not a farmer's league, I still admit that PSG is much better than Sociedad in terms of team quality. I am sure PSG will be able to beat Sociedad and advance to the next round. I don't underestimate Sociedad because we know they are performing quite well in the league and are ranked 6th in the standings. But with the quality of players both have, I think PSG is clearly far superior.
Once a big team, always a big team. PSG is far better Real Sociedad in terms of everything including the quality of players. Some people are thinking that since Messi, Neymar, and other big names players left PSG, the team will not be up to their standard, but Mbappe is capable together with some of their signings to make the team a great one, and surprisingly, they can win the Champions League with these players Shocked

Real Sociedad is performing greatly in all competitions this season, I think this turn around in the team is about to give a high rating in the eye of their fans because they shoced them by toping the group D of the Champions League this season ahead of Inter Milan, Benfica, and Salzburg. Nevertheless, this should not be the reason why fans will underrate PSG just because they used to be eliminated in the Champions League more often. Only big teams will eliminate PSG at this stage, Sociedad will be eliminated by PSG.

Klopp says that Liverpool needs a coach of the highest level, and he is not that young anymore and cannot be that way. It’s very weird to hear this from him, in my opinion, age can only add experience and skill to a coach, maybe he’s just tired and wants to rest. He also mentioned that giving six press conferences a week is incredibly difficult and he dreams of a day when he won’t do it, that is, it all comes down to the fact that he is tired and wants to rest.
He also said that he would not coach any team or national team next year, just rest, and also said that he would never coach another English club, so he would definitely not return to the Premier League.
Perhaps Liverpool want to take the same or similar decision as Arsenal did when they were tired with Arsene Wenger, the fans were tired of his management style and pattern which was why they called for his resignation in the year 2018; for Jurgen Klopp to make this statement, the manageent probably need another manager with fresh mind to take the team to the next level, and that can be the reson why they will not wants to renew Klopp's contract as there will be other managers they will be eying outside the Premier League which can be either Alonso, or any other manager out there.

If Liverpool change manager next season, it might affect their performance next season because the new manager they will sign will come with hisown pattern of football which may take some of the players time to adapt, as a result, it will affect their performance before the manager and the players get to know each other's tactics. Alonso, and De zarbi will be the best option for Liverpool, but their chance of having any of them is limited.

After going through the thread below titled "Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting?"
(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5475889.0)
I think it's possible using some sporting strategies. I wish to know which strategy have you been using to win big as a gambler.

The way you guys talk about winning money from gambling is really funny to me because how do you comfortably win a million. Since you know the strategy and you want us to share within us, why don't you go first and let's start from you.
There are many strategy and combination to win a million but that strategy also involves you losing millions, it's a predictions and it's not guarantee that you will make it for the first trial, second trial, third trial continuesly, some people are even suggesting using huge amount of money but the same strategy can make yo lose everything, it's good we all admit th loss so we don't mislead people.

Whatever type of sport you choose to play, understand that it involves some level of risk, the same way you can win it is the same way you can loose it all but if you have the mind to pursue it with good strategy you can win it more than you can lose but surely, you will lose many times too. Don't be consumed by greed of gambling that because you know your strategy can win you some millions and you will stake high amount of money. You will only regret doing that after you have loss.

If we look at the remaining matches in the Premier League this season, of course there are many match remaining so liverpool must be able to perform consistently to be able to lock up the EPL trophy. Even though Liverpool is in the leading area to win the EPL trophy, But Manchester city and Arsenal will definitely put strong pressure on liverpool this season. For this reason, Liverpool must focus on their goal in the carabao Cup final match where they must be able to maintain the quality of their neat game to become champions.

It is true that Liverpool has have 3 hopes of winning trophies this season, But it is still uncertain whether they will be able to do it perfectly. In the European league they still have a long way to go to reach the final and in the Premier League it is also the same because there are still many matches left. But yes, in the final match of the carabao Cup, Liverpool are more the favorites to win the Carabao Cup trophy because they are stronger than chelsea.

We have crossed the middle road of the season. Most of the teams has played their 21 games, that means we are left with 17 weeks to go, that's going to be like 4 months and a week down to go to finalize this season and Liverpool is 6 points ahead of Manchester City but Manchester City has a pending match, if they play it and win that game which is likely for them, then Liverpool will only be 2 points away from them in the table, that's some shame because I don't understand why Manchester City will have to win this league every season, let's have some changes this season and give room for other teams to enjoy the League too.

I'm not sure how Liverpool are going to survive without him because after carefully checking on the goals that each player has scored, I realized that Salah and Haaland both have 14 goals which means Salah will be dragging for golden booth and same as Haaland and now that he is away, Haaland might come back from injury before him and if he play well, he might not only push Salah away from been the highest but Liverpool might risky losing some match because clearly, he among the heart of Liverpool right now.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 25, 2024, 10:04:06 PM
I noticed that as well. I think it’s because of the Premier League's Sustainability Rules and profits. Clubs are being very careful not to break these rules. We saw how Everton were deducted 10 points in the early part of the season for breaching the rules, while they and Nottingham Forest have been charged recently for the same thing.
FFP is on everybody’s Asses. I think a lot of clubs are just observing and the last thing they want to do is break those rules and potentially be deducted points now that the season has gone far.
But apart from that, we should not forget that the January transfer window is normally pretty quiet every year, a lot of the big business is usually done in the summer.

Everton and Nottingham forest qwre just pulpit that were use to show a good example to other teams that voided the FFP and Premier League rules. You want to tell me that it's only these two clubs that are guilty of this rule breaking? There are many of them but I think it as easy for Premier League to dealt with Everton and Nottingham Forest than other teams. If I remember some months ago, Manchester City was been accused of doing the same thing, some people were happy that if 10 points is deducted, they will be demoted in the table but today, it's has been silent, there is nothing money can't do in football.

January usually is quite transfer period, some players might have been signed by some clubs but they might not make news like the way other club will do until when the market is close and performance start showing you wl realized. Some discussion of some players are also going on and will not be finalized until some days before the transfer window closes, that's when you will hear that a particular club has bought this and that player for this amount of money.

Heard of those stories before. People back in the 80s do believe in these stuff as they believe those dreams are premonition of what could happen the next days. In the remote areas in Africa still has this belief as far as I know. Though its not related to gambling somehow the Shaman in some areas are believe to have some future information.

I wouldn't believe in dreams of winning in casino will come true when you will actually play. But i would like the try and find out if I dream something like this.

These stories are fantasy, moon tale stories. When they tell you about this stories, just know that it never happened because if you try this on modern age of gambling, you will not only lose money, you will become poor especially if you are the type of person that believes in this type of stories and after that, you will become homeless, because this people can gamble their house if the dream tells them to use their house as collateral to gamble that game that was reveal to them in the sleep. I can't even think my head around this OP to believe such story.

The people that do engage in this kind of stories are either fetish or believe something extra ordinary or more of a spiritual person who believe anything they see in their dream, who even believe what they had in a dream. The only time I remember my dream is as soon as I wake up from the dream, once it's morning I forget everything I have dream about, I'm not sure how OP has good memories to remember the options.
410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 24, 2024, 08:44:40 PM
You think sacking their head coach will solve anything? The team has started poorly and I think the whole team will be demoralized by now and sacking their coach will just cause more commotion and high tension in their camp, well I don't know about you but I doubt they will qualify for the next stage again because no team in that group will like to lose  out their possible chance of qualifying too.

Ivory coast were only unfortunate to be out of the Afcon but they didn't started poorly. They were the first in group A to lead by +3 point after winning the Guinea Bissau and then faced Nigeria in their second round and that match could have eneded as draw but their negligence made them to lose because the defender kick Nigeria striker Osimhen which led to penalty. If not for that, Nigeria won't have won that match. The Equatorial Guinea they were hoping to win dismantle and disfigured them with straight 4 goals, I think this match was what upset them and because been host, it's a dishonor to their country.

There are some arguments going on but I'm not sure about it that Ivory coast might still make it to the knockout since 4 teams will be selected from the teams from group stage and since Ivory coast has 3 points, they have might have the chance. So far, we have 2 teams with 3 points and another 2 teams with 4 points, this means that Ivory coast can still make it only if it's going it be 12 + 4 teams that will be going to the knockout stage.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 24, 2024, 07:55:49 PM
Leaving and Changing clubs is something I've always wanted personally for the Nigerian international, and it's the right thing to see him do. Signing the contract with Napoli I believe was a format or strategy to raise his valuation so whenever they want to sell him, they could make good profits.
Meanwhile, Chelsea football club are ready to match up whatever Napoli has setup to be his fee. I've always said it Chelsea would be his finally destination and it feel great to finally see it swinging that way.

He may not have scored good numbers at the African Cup of Nations Competitions because they lacked good and a proper attacking midfielder, but he'll do score goals whenever he returns to club football.

As much as I also want him to leave Napoli and go to where he will be appreciated, we can't deny the fact that Napoli was part of his life and career. He is known by the world when he came to Napoli, his performance did but the medium was through Napoli and he is also respecting it that's why he is still there. I watch his interview with Fabrizio and the thing he said make a lot of sense, the new contract didn't hold him down and even with the look of things, Osimhen is going to leave that team by the end of this season, too much racism and anti fans are too much, even the team he scored don't like him.


I pray his story doesn't turn to that of Mane, we all know how he was in Liverpool and appreciated there but because of pay difference, Bayern bought him and then trahs him after a season and he is now in a league of old men playing with Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia where the are using money to do what they want but what they don't have is the way Premier League and Champions League is done here in Europe.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 24, 2024, 07:31:57 PM
Liverpool team is in very good form. They have won their last 5 matches. Liverpool also dominated and won the home match against Fulham. However, the goal difference was not much. Even so, the match was dominated by Liverpool players.

Today's match is Fulham's home match. Still, I see no reason to think Fulham are favourites. This group is not very strong. They also lost against Chelsea in their last Premier League match. Also, if Liverpool draw today's match, they can qualify for the next round. So the possibility of Chelsea vs Liverpool final is more likely.

We are all sleeping on Liverpool but the last time this team lost in EPL was in September, I didn't notice this until I just checked their stats and it has been either win or draw since September. No wonder they have been maintaining first place on the standing. Even in other domestic leagues, they are strong and breaking boundaries just like they trashed Fulham  in their last leg 1 with 2 goals to 1, they will do the same because the last 5 matches Fulham has played with Liverpool, they didn't win a single match, manage to drew only 1.

The EPL season is fast approaching the end, we are almost at 2/3 phase of the rounds and Liverpool is topping the league but despite the fact that Manchester city has a pending game. I want to bet that Liverpool are winning this, I wan this to be Arsenal really really bad but we seems like gas out. They have played 21/21 of what Liverpool has played but the only person I think can follow up Liverpool in right now is Manchester City, if only they don't lose.

The Ghanaian national team drew against mozambique, and the entire Ghanaian fans and press team where outraged by the performance of their black star's. in their minds eye they feel the Mozambique team where a weaker side for them to win and qualify for the next round, but rather they drew 2-2 and crashed out of the AFCON competition.
One press man was vigorously abusing the Ghanaian coach as he was walking pass them, calling him unprintable names.
As gambler and a football fan, it most appropriate for you to always show a good level of emotional intelligence whenever results doesn't go your way, because that's the spirit of sportsmanship,
The results must not always go your way as a gambler, you will lose some and you will win some.

https://x.com/FinaNapoleon/status/1749572663058518185?s=20

You can't blame fans for showing how they love their club or their country. It's part of the game and it happened everywhere around the globe.l
Let me tell you a story of what happened when I went to watch a match in a football film house, it's common here in my place, so this boy was is a stammerer and a hard die fan of Chelsea. His club was having challenges last season and this boy argued with his friend that Chelsea are going to win Leed United because they were in relegation zone then but in the end, Chelsea FC conceded 3 goals and lost, he was mocked and when he wanted to defend himself, he bursted into cry because he couldn't due to his disability but after the match, I saw him and his friends doing their things, that's football for you.

Did you know that Ghana head coach was sacked immediately because of what happened, they fumbled and disgrace Ghana for losing to Mozambique in 90+ minutes but I think the fans over reacted, some people seems like they are frustrated and we're looking to paste their anger on the players that didn't do well in the Afcon match.

Based on their commitment to keep to their decision it makes me ask myself how do this set of person go about their daily lives when they know they can afford those things they see around?

Do you think this is a strategy to accumulate Bitcoin faster because of the volatile nature of Bitcoin?

Lastly have anyone come across any individual who will deny his comfort for Bitcoin and what do you think are their motivations?

How many legitimately wealthy men show off, go and verify the top 100 wealthiest people on forbe, half of that number don't show off their wealth and they don't buy the things they don't. In fact, it's even the ordinary or average people that are even struggling financially use their balance to buy things they don't need and they are doing it for one purpose which is "show off".

We live in a society where people now want to impress each other for about little change the have made in life forgetting that life is a continuous journey and to survive it, you need to invest today to enjoy tomorrow. If you fail to invest today, you are practically failing to succeed in the future. This is what we avarage people don't understand, only few have the mind to overcome this temptation of trying to impress people about wealth.


Coming back to Bitcoin, denying yourself some comfort is good if you have the means to do it but please don't deny yourself some basic needs, just because you want to invest and be a wealthy person for investing in bitcoin doesn't mean you wouldn't wear good clothes, doesn't mean you wouldn't eat good meals, doesn't mean you wouldn't have proper health care. If you fail to address these ones, you may not live to witness your investment because a good health is a good wealth.
415  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial education and why it should be a priority. on: January 22, 2024, 03:17:44 PM
Financial education is a skill that is not been taught in schools, but to me it's the most important subject a man must learn in other to be financially independent.
This knowledge gives you smart money making decisions, and it improves your standards of living, It gives you priceless money management skill, you can't spend more than what you earn as a financial literate.
I still don't know why it's not been taught in schools up till now.
The  rich dad poor dad by Robert kiyosaki explain all what it entails and the stability it gives financially.

The school is an old fashion learning process and any financial education that comes must be align with your field of study and not the street way. If you study computer engineering, you will be school about computer engineering and how to excel in th field of engineering successful but then again, it's base on theoretical learning and not practical, even if the teach you how to design a software and how to market it for people to be convincing and affordable, if you don't have the experience it will be difficult to deliver that task, you might even forget what you were thought in school and go the street ways.

Financial education isn't about reading everything that is thought and be put in practice, I believe Rich dad and poor dad didn't have anyone that out him through, he did it on his is own without reading financial books, he was led to success by his own way of life. Even you can do yours, you just have to forget about the principle of break even point, marginal utility and demand and supply and put that into use in real life and you must avoid anything that will make you am extravagant person in with spending.
416  Economy / Economics / Re: Passion for skills. on: January 22, 2024, 03:07:00 PM
Hey people.

So just for fun and a little bit of insights for people who aren't into any skills yet, I created this thread. It can also serve as a means of motivation for those who haven't started learning any skills yet.

So, we all know how important skills are not only on an individual basis but also on that of the economy, and many of us without doubt are either in the process of learning or already earning from skills. Needless to say, many global brands started as a result of skills learned and used to benefit people. The creators of Adidas,  puma, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and even sports professionals, etc all learned and practiced their skills more than enough to become the best of the best.

Skills acquisition is one of the best thing every individual need in their life but it becomes valueless if the government don't utilize the potential of these skills. Look at Brazil for instance, they are well known for the king of football worldwide, check the stars of footballers history, out of every 10, you will see 5 Brazil. Indians today are very good at tech skills like software engineering and other computer related skills and there government support them very well.

Come to some countries, they  government doesn't give you support even after getting these skills and it's discouraging because even in places like Upwork and Fiver, there is discrimination and selectivity before client gives you work. My country is not even consider for these jobs, and it's really discharging to be honest.

Quote
So, my question is very simple. What skills are you currently learning or have learned and are earning from, and what is the reason why you picked it?

I don't have outside skills aside from my work and forum because I'm too choke up with work but if I have the time to learn a skill, I will graphics and design. This skills is still needed today despite the saturated market. If your design is unique, you will get what to deserve from the client.
That skills still stand out today because there is no shortcut to it, programming today are becoming easier and even more saturated than the Graphics because of Bootcamp and precode environment that person with programing can use to create their own websites.

Many people don't like that guy but that man knows the system and he openly criticize it. I know he has his agenda for his aggressive speech but at least he is telling the truth.

CBDC can be a real threat to democracy and the people's financial freedom. If you need to think a few times before spending your money then you are not the owner of the money or we can say your money doesn't have absolute power in your life. CBDC can be highly politicized in many countries which will encourage dictatorship around the world. Let's see what lies ahead of Trump's future. Can he be the president for another term or he will go to jail!

You really trust a politician? Lol. Never should you trust a politician, that's the best way to avoid disappointment. If you don't expect a lot from them and they eventually get to the office and do nothing, trust me you wouldn't emotionally get attached to their ways of governing the country.

Aside from aggressive speech about Trump, he is been feared, I love that about him but the fact that he always act as if he is the perfect person to rule America makes not to believe him, he speak like he is a pro, he act like is perfect man but he is full of scandals and bad past in his profile but I guess citizens don't look at that during election, they do what they are told and then cry later when forgotten of their promises.

CBDC is a centralized system of digitalizing dollar and I think the government is only trying to used that to make people to go digital so they can be able to watch people how and where they take money to. If you are ask me to choose between CBDC and fiat, I will chose fiat because I can withdraw money from a bank and do what I wish without anyone knowing where my money went but doing it online kills privacy. It's like the way we are moving into more civilization, privacy is dying everyday and that suck.

This happened 2days ago, over $600 million has already been loss few days to 2024. Trading is hard and risky while using leverage makes it more risky especially using high leverages. One reason to avoid trading with leverage is that, these traders suffers more in pump and dump Schemes and also market Manipulations especially those traders who trade meme coins and other altcoins which are prone to this.
The best bet now is to HODL even if you are investing in altcoin find some trusted ones and HODL while if you reduce risk entirely just stick with bitcoin since we have seen alot of altcoins which fail to meet expectations.

Did you see billions of volume that is been trended on futures daily? That is to tell you that people love trading leverages than spot trading because of the quick profits. Many of them have less amount of money but want to feel the vibe of holding bitcoin profits and because they don't have the means, they sort to do futures trading.
However, many of them are clouded by greed, if not for lack of contentment and greed, why will you even be doing 25x leverage? They want to drive Lamborghini with their $20  balance.

Quote
Even if you desire to trade just use spot trading or any other offering less risk while when using leverage use small leverages and don't be too greedy to use stop lost and take profit.

A trader that knows what he is doing is supposed to go above 10x max, even that is risky but that's the max I think a trader should go, anything above that level is not trading neither will I called it gambling, that's an act of losing money deliberately because with 10x leverage, a 10% decrease will liquidate a trader and that is possible on a daily bitcoin candle, it's stupid to even think of going for 10x leverage.

Quote
Also you shouldn't be disappointed or give up in bitcoin or crypto investment if trading hasn't work for you just try to HODL bitcoin or at least do more proper research on the altcoin you choose to HODL while if you are still have desire to trade, reduce the amount you use in trading, try to avoid risk when necessary and continue to learn to improve your skills and knowledge about trading.

This has been discussed and will continue to be a topic of discussion, I just feel that people will do whatever they wish to do with their money irrespective of what people view them or think about them. Spot trading is one the simplest ways to make money not the easiest way because some people does lost money there as well and will called trading a scam. Even in future trading, we have people that makes money from there just that the number is small compared to people that loss to liquidation.

Because the complicated aspect of it is controlled by the middle man and not the user while in the Dex, the users do both the easy aspect and the complicated aspect of the exchange. For instance when you want to buy a coin through p2p in a exchange, the exchange hold the asset and allow agreement to be reach between the two people before all trades are been settled but in a Dex, smart contract is what control activity and everything you do in a decentralized exchange and you will have to pay fees to approve everything.

Dex are very complicated to some people because the design, all Dex don't have a unique approach but a centralized exchanges are know for email, password and Authentication system to protect your self while Dex is about you and your wallet. Dex also has low volume and liquidity issues, since centralized exchanges has more people they tend to have plenty of sales and buy buy Dex is usually in few.

However, the disadvantages of centralized exchanges is always bitter, your coin can be seize at anytime, you need KYC just as you have said but people don't look at these underlying problems anymore because they always think I don't do any wrong, definitely they can't seize my money until the day the reality set in.

I just recently encountered an application that is for mining a certain altcoin. The term "mining" is widely misused nowadays, mining is for real computation work and it cannot be run on a mobile phone even if the phone is closed. I believe Pi network is the one who first introduced it to mobile phone which is an absolute BS, now there are new projects that are doing the same thing but shockingly there aren't really any complaints about this mining thing on their application. Newbies can misunderstood what mining on cryptocurrency really is if this becomes normalized especially on altcoin scene.

People love altcoins, bitcoin is not discuss that's why people don't even know what mining is about. Hardly you see proof of work coin that is having much people as proof of stake, even Ethereum that was once proof of work is now proof of stake, it's hard to see mining is been discussed and this is making people naive and illiterate about what mining is really about.

The first time I learned about mining scams was the days of cloud mining, the way it works is that they will tell to buy a mining packages, this ranges from lower package to a higher package but these scammers have affordable price to fit everybody in their list from lower package to higher package but the bigger the package you buy the higher rate of bitcoin you will get in return, they will even attached a picture of the mining farm to convince you, buy the package and start mining bitcoin and get withdrawal at the end of the month.

If you are lucky to be among the first set, you get paid to draw attention of the public and as a son as they gatther enough money, they stop functioning and zoom off, if they want to give investors some suspense they will give you excuse about maintenance before they run with the accumulated bitcoin. This scam today has gave other scammers some courage to modified theres to scam people and it's all because people don't read.
