Yep, they need to squeeze as much liquidity as possible, then if there is not enough cash, the risk of bank run increases.

Anyway,
Interest is just a logical consequence of lending money (with or without collateral), stop teaching nonsense!

I think it's not really about culture mate, but more about age/era. There is some evidence:
1. Pooled finance lead to better happiness score in a marriage;
2. Women are more risk-averse than men;
3. If the wife controls the pool, she spent less on leisure than the husband.

It's a personal choice, but for me, I choose to be free from managing personal finance.

I disagree with this. I think small or local businesses get impacted the most (other than tourism-related). Big companies can just impose unpaid leave for most of its employees to save cash. While small businesses usually have tighter cash position.

This is more like wishful thinking than a reality. Countries that already have a terrible financial position will get worse after this pandemic. They need to recover first before thinking about improving such conditions.

Really? This information is new to me.


Anyway, if you solely think about the economy and not everything else, the mass death of the elderly is a good thing since they are not productive and require lots of money for their healthcare. But of course, if I could choose, I would opt for this pandemic to never happen.

Women are better at this kind of thing. Just give your monthly paycheck to your wive, and you are good to go. As an alpha male, it would be best if you focus on how to increase your income, and doing better at your job. Never overthink about the day-to-day or monthly budgeting.

Republicans can spin this tweet and said that Trump made the correct decision when he closed the border, while Biden accused him of being "hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering." Even though the virus won't be completely eradicated, they can say it's a success, and Trump has saved many lives.

Anyway, more likely, what will happen related to the virus won't affect this election since Trump haters are going to hate him, and his lovers are going to love him. Still, I think his current position is way better than his 1st election.

LoL, you know what is more eco-friendly? My SQL-database stored on a shared server. It's a shame that XRP keeps preying for newbies.

But I confess, I use XRP frequently to move my fund from one exchange to another exchange.

Let's see the result:

Since participants can pick more than one answer, then perhaps "had something else to do" is always chosen, then they picked either "lost too much money" or "run out of money," that's possible I think.

Agree, this survey is like a pilot study at best. At least, it's better than a forum poll.
I'll try to search for another interesting study about gambling (preferably quantitative one). Wish me luck

Look at the survey data https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5244174.0
According to Columb & O'Gara (2017), 75% of 208 users "had to borrow or sell to fund gambling." I think gamblers take too much risk at this point.
Fortunately, I never experience such issues since I know the limit. I hope you guys also know your limit so you won't get into trouble.

Also, I'm optimistic we are here can be a healthy gambling community.

Interesting findings from "A national survey of online gambling behaviours" by Columb & O'Gara (2017)

* Sportsbetting via a mobile app is the mainstream;
* Main reason to gamble is to win money; and
* Contrary to my belief, the most popular reason for ending gambling sessions is "had something else to do," and not because "running out of money."

If you think about it:
* Gambling is a time-wasting activity; and
* To stop gambling, keep yourself occupied with something.

What do you think about the above findings?

1. More money supply means the existing value of money will be diluted. People who have lots of cash or fiat savings will be impacted the most. Rich or poor is irrelevant.
2. Wealth inequality is not because of the changing of the money supply. It's because the economic growth cannot keep up with the population growth! Solution: click here!
3. Bitcoin is not a magic pill for the bad economy.

But sir, if the number of poor class people in India is huge, then the gov must print lots of money! It's not the same as the US if you look at the poverty rate and financial strength.

Moreover, money should be used to move the economy by giving incentives to businesses and tax holidays, not for charity purposes.

So basically, you want to collect money to fund only ideas because to create MVP, there must be a fully functioned team (developers), and it needs real money. Even a proper whitepaper will cost them money. So the idea of PRE-IEO is flawed from the beginning because if the team has an MVP and a proper whitepaper, they can go directly for ICO/IEO. If not, only dumb investors would fund them.

AFAIK this guy CryptopreneurBrainboss is from Africa, try contact him.

To be fair dude, a real account with thousands of followers (a.k.a legit paid shill) will charge you real $$$, and it's expensive. If the project doesn't have real $$$ to spend and only promised to give the only-God-knows-the-price token, you will expect fake accounts with fake followers. As simple as that

Why focus on time? Give more time? etc.
Projects should have a reasonable timeline and the developers must deliver (the results). If they can't deliver, the risks will build up and then the project failure rate will increase.
I think investor will give them time as long as the development is still on the correct track.

$1.03 is way too big for stablecoins mate. More likely $1.0003
Therefore your money would worth $500.15
The spread is so tight therefore traders need at least $5,000 to make $1.5

Well, this tiny return may not be for everyone since this is crypto space.

Sepertinya jalan ceritanya cukup jauh karena ketika belajar saham, trading hanyalah bagian kecilnya (atau bisa diibaratkan bumbu) saja.
Anyway, jadi kemudian ceritanya terkait trading.

Apakah trading = judi? Ya tergantung definisi dari judi itu sendiri. Kalau judi yang dimaksud adalah "permainan yang berdasarkan peruntungan (semata)" maka trading tidaklah sama dengan judi karena ada unsur keahlian (skill) pada trading.

Kalau ane lebih suka melihat ini dari perspektif apakah aktivitas trading ini "zero-sum game" atau tidak, yaitu apakah apabila agan ingin profit maka orang lain HARUS rugi? Apabila jawabnya YA, maka aktivitas ini tidak ane sukai. Tapi ini hanyalah preferensi masing-masing individu karena sebagian pakar berpendapat bahwa ekonomi bukanlah zero-sum, yaitu apabila agan kaya, orang lain tidak harus miskin.

Kalau sebagai pemula ane sarankan agar coba dulu beli Bitcoin dengan harapan nanti nilainya akan meningkat, sambil kemudian melihat pergerakan harga. Ketika sudah nyaman, baru kemudian coba-coba trading. Jangan lalu langsung ke binary tanpa tahu fundamental Bitcoin.

Kalau mereka selalu profit, pastinya sudah jadi sultan dan pensiun trading
Ane tidak mengomentari lebih jauh masalah trading, ya balik lagi karena ane tidak suka zero-sum game.

Lebih worth ketika agan menjadi pengusaha yang menciptakan kekayaan daripada berusaha mengambil kekayaan dari pihak-pihak yang kalah. Kalau menurut ane itu lebih barokah.

Kembali lagi esensi dari saham adalah ikut serta memiliki perusahaan, mendanai perusahaan ketika IPO untuk bisa tumbuh, dsb, bukan trading. Esensi dari Bitcoin adalah memiliki "P2P Electronic Cash System," tanpa perantara pihak ketiga, immutable, terbuka, dsb, dan bukan trading. Anggap trading hanya sebagai bumbu penyedap saja.

Wut? Jadi Youtuber modalnya kecil aja bisa, berapa sih harga webcam + mic (ga usah bagus-bagus dulu).

Salah kaprah ini kalau membandingkan blockchain (desentralisasi) dengan Youtube (sentralisasi). Misalnya agan buat konten yang tidak sesuai dengan "rules"-nya Youtube, bisa gak monet, lebih parah channelnya bisa kena ban permanen.

Mending agan buat sendiri aja yang kek Youtube tapi desentralisasi, eh udah ada.

Look at my topic about DraftKing's merger https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5242335.
They are still optimistic about sportsbet future and hope more states will legalize sports betting for tax revenue.

That's because you choose a high multiplier, so your win chance is so small. Overall the risk is based on HE, so if you play high multiplier on dice, you'll experience a similar situation.
For me, I prefer slots game since it's purely a chance game. On a crash game, you will feel bad when you bail out at 9x when you actually can get 999x.
