421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We have been told: Invest only Extra money in bitcoin on: January 02, 2023, 07:45:05 PM
You do have other options, I'm a big fan of Bitcoin but lets to make it seem like Bitcoin is the only way to go and when people don't get what they came for due to the promising things we say online they become disappointed. You can invest your spare money into a personal business. It must not be something big but anything that brings an extra income into your pocket. Investing in Bitcoin should be for long term purpose.
Therefore if you know you'll be in need of the money you want to put Into Bitcoin anytime soon even though they're extras don't invest in Bitcoin as that'll make you to be inpatient and might lead to you withdrawing your investment early while missing out on better gains. You shouldn't only put all your focus on investing extra money in Bitcoin but also consider how urgent will that extra money be needed in future.  You can call money extra now as you have enough but in future when you don't have enough will you be in need of those extra you have invested earlier.
All this should be considered before investing so it doesn't make you pull out of an awesome opportunity that would had change your financial status.
That is the difference between savings and expense. If you are not in need of it right now then there is no problem, that's fine if you need it in the future because you are saving exactly for that reason. If you could end up not spending it for 3 years but then when something huge happens and you cash it all out and then spend it to cover it, that's a great thing.

I did it before, I made insane amount of money for me, nearly 4-5 years worth of salary, thanks to my investment, I could have bought a small tiny house with it, not something big but like 700-800 square feet in a bad apartment in a bad neighbourhood for example, not a great investment but to explain the amount. I had to pay it for hospital bill and I was so happy about it, because I didn't go into debt at all.

Giving investment advice to someone is an act that should be carefully considered, especially with bitcoin because even we do not guarantee that Bitcoin will bring us profits. For me, it was not a wise decision. If someone asks about investing in bitcoin, I teach them the basics of bitcoin, I am not going to give they any advice on whether they should or should not invest.

As for the mindset of the poor, if they don't like to invest is understandable, because making money is very difficult for them, so they won't want to take risks. We should not blame them but understand them.
Depends on where you are. If you are at home with your friends and you think that it is going to be just advice on what they should do with their money, you should be very careful about giving that advice because that could be their only money and if they make a mistake because of you then you would lose a lot of money.

However, if you are here on bitcointalk and giving an advice that should be not really carefully thought and just whatever comes to your mind since this is literally a place for discussing these things, people who read you and act accordingly should know that you are some stranger and if they just do it because of you and lose, that is on them and not you.

Espanyol's ranking in the La Liga standings does make them look like a weak club, but historically the two of them meeting on the pitch have always been in tight conditions even though against other teams Espanyol often has bad results.

This is beyond losing the bet that we choose to win Barcelona.

Regarding the competition with Real Madrid, Barcelona does not look comfortable this season sitting at number 1 in the standings because Real Madrid continues to overshadow with positive results. Maybe the conditions will also be the same if Real Madrid leads the standings with the same point difference.
We think all teams will also feel the competition as felt by Barcelona and Real Madrid including outside the La Liga competition.
Being chased is always a hard thing, not many teams could do it very well, and the reality is that we shouldn't really be focusing on how we could make a big profit from unexpected games because it causes a bit of a trouble for many people, but the reality is that we shouldn't be really shocked to see Barcelona being stressed out by being chased by Real and have some unexpected results because of that as well.

In this case, I keep gambling every week on Barcelona and Real to win, even though sometimes they fail to do it, when they do it together which is not uncommon that gives me a good return and so far it has been quite good results for me as well.

Monaco are facing brest team at the moment, monaco are currently at the fifth place another result other than the win will put them in danger of losing their position, their opponent is in a tight spot in the relegation zone so this will be a high stake game for both teams but i still see monaco team pull off a win.
Monaco had a great win. Image of football fans enjoying their game. Their style of play has improved a lot from earlier which will have a good effect in the later matches. They dominated the entire match.
Monaco is a prime example of teams that was underrated because of the results. There are plenty of teams that people saw as "bad" teams because of the results when they were actually good teams that got bad results that's it. Look at United at premier league, they started at 20th place, LAST team in the table, and look how great they are right now.

Same goes for Monaco, they were always GOOD but just got bad results, now they are getting results they deserved to get and that is why they are so great. I hope that they continue this momentum because I used to lose a lot of money on their games, but for a while they have been making a good profit for me.

Tottenham are having bad matches after another, I see no improvement in this team. They started poorly as they did in their last match against brentford and the difference is that they weren’t lucky as they were last time out.

In the other match Chelsea were held to draw today against
Nottingham forest, I think everyone would have expected them to win this because it does not get easier than this.
It has been clear to anyone who watch them that they needed to sell Kane and Son a lot earlier, like 3 years ago at least when they were much much more valuable and rebuild the team. Now the team is not good enough at all to rebuild, and they can't get too much money for both of them.

In any case, they are going to do a rebuild one way or another because they are nowhere near good as they should. They can't get a cup, they can't get the league, they basically never won anything ever and people still see them as "good". I am sorry but no team with absolutely zero titles could ever be considered good and they need to sell everyone who worths money and start fresh again.

he had won a lot of money gambling and it was normal that his girlfriend demanded more money because, after all, the guy had stolen her girlfriend's money. But his girlfriend has also gone too far to ask for a lot of money to give to her boyfriend. They can discuss this matter carefully without any third party that will interfere in their affairs. But if anger and emotions have played a role in his girlfriend, it will not solve the problem. Considering their relationship status, he could give her more than he already took.
Yeah in my opinion also, that girl friend deserved more than 50% share as the whole betting money was belonging to her and only the knowledge and actions were from the boyfriend side. Even stealing seems like a wired part here, in some culture, that money is common for both of them as they are into a relationship either legally or not. So, we may leave off that stealing part.

Because, if that betting came to the knowledge of girlfriend before placed; I am sure she should not have allowed to place at first hand; only men could take that kind of brave decision and that boyfriend took that bet for all 10k because that was not his money (fully or partially or by any tradition). So, I guess that stealing got big role in that case but needs to be forget when sharing the profits. Really a peculiar case!
427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who are responsible for the bear run on: January 01, 2023, 07:28:31 AM
Now i would like to very much like to blame Kwon for UST as he was warned several times about issues with it but he was just too arrogant and annoying to take the threat seriously.  But if SBF had anything to do with this, then not only is he blamed for FTX crash and bear run after that, but he just might be the man behind the WHOLE current crypto downfall.
The whole downfall is due to one or two reasons then I am super happy. If you notice that market had recovered significantly after the announcement of tesla about discontinuation of BTC payment. It means crypto market had beaten the influence of negativity triggered by Tesla. But, all other negative news came in bearish year which is the reason market is still struggling to neutralize those influencing power. But, I am very much sure about bouncing back by beating all these negative news in next few months but for a new ATH we may need to wait for more than 24 months probably.
428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT ?? What do you think about it ? ? ? on: December 31, 2022, 08:20:22 PM
NFT arts could easily be imitated so I don't really see that its value is worth it. I would rather use my funds in investing with good coins than purchasing NFT digital arts. NFTs are also having a hard time dealing with the market situation so, despite the potential, they couldn't rise and strike a good position in the market. It may take time before they reach a good spot because they will surely just get along with the market recovery period.
Even though I agree with you, it's about ownership and not being able to use it. The old "I took a screenshot LOL" type of thing misses the point of NFT, it's not about being able to use it or be the only one to use it, it is about the fact that you have ownership of it, it's yours and nobody else's. You could see Mona Lisa as well on google, or you could make it your twitter profile picture, but you do not OWN Mona Lisa right? Same logic.

One is digital and the other physical, there is a difference, but the idea is the same when we are talking about ownership. In the end if you really want to be able to provide something great, then you need to realize what it is and what it isn't and fix what it isn't.

Madrid has been managed to make a goal after more than 80 minutes of match. that proves that if valladolid has been giving a hard game for madrid. The game could be ended with the draw as the result but that's very good when benzema would able to execute the penalty and second goals was coming a few minutes after he was making the penalty. I just wanna say if benzema has become a very important player in the game.
He was always helping madrid to leave from the difficult situation like that. Barcelona has very big chance to win easily against espanyol caused by it will be playing at camp nou.
I think Real Madrid got lucky in the match after they failed to score in 80 minutes luck came in the 83 minute through a penalty and another goal in the 89th minute
Today it is Barcelona's turn to take over the standings it should not be difficult for Barcelona to win because Espanyol is not a strong team, sure Barcelona secure 3 points today.
Real actually played very well and sometimes in football you have to work hard and sometimes it looks like you got lucky. In reality if you play a dominant game all game, 80 minutes will cause the other team to finally get tired, because they will defend against you with all their power and eventually they will get tired.

This means after that many minutes, you will finally get under their skin and when they are finally tired you will start to score. It's like saying a boxer got lucky on 13th round to knock someone out, well they could have tried in first 5 minutes but they will fail, yet if they tired the opponent for 12 rounds, then on 13th round they can knock them out.
430  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tutored or you learned how to trade? on: December 31, 2022, 09:42:44 AM
Usually, a beginner will seek help from friends who are used to trading and they will start learning from that friend. And after they can get basic lessons about trading, they still learn on their own from many sources while still asking their friends who are used to trading. But most people don't want to learn more and only depend on their friends because they are lazy to learn what they need in trading.
Such people cannot sustain in any market, I am sure. Being lazy could be traders' first enemy which will ending up destroying them sooner or later. Some people may sound like lazy when tutoring is available for free of cost but when they availing such services for some fee then they may not go for it frequently and from that point, they may start learning and looking for possibilities to trade by themselves.

In my beginning days I looked for knowledge from my friends but due to their hectic schedule, I started with demo account and learnt everything by self.
431  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Reflective Trading Question on: December 31, 2022, 08:12:05 AM
Right 1 year before exactly around these days I was pretty happy, i was all in fiat and market was almost around 50k or something. But then i somehow decided to step again in the market thinking that it will boom again and basically that was my biggest mistake, since then i have lost almost everything I earned in cryptos due to market falling once again, i just think everyday that how much more could I have earned if I had kept everything in USDT at that time.
That may not be your mistake alone because I remember that many people had speculated about longer bullish trend like a new ATH to happen by mid of 2022 but nothing happened and most DCA investors also got trapped like you. At the same time, you sound like a swing trader who keeps buying and selling depends on market direction, such type of traders will face hard time sooner or later as market fluctuations are that kind of wild one.

Keeping your BTCs as it, could be the only way to remain happy and it is possible only for the people who bought bitcoin in the previous cycle.

When someone can lie during all their life and get away with it then it can be understood they believe they can do it once again.

And it is obvious that with the money he has, his lawyers and his political contacts that he believes he can just ignore the law and do whatever he wants, and if we are as objective as we can it is not as if he is completely mistaken, since there is a real possibility that he could walk away as a free man after all of this, and we can only hope the prosecution does a good job and justice is served.
It is the system that kept him going for so long, and that means there is nothing to charge SBF with that isn't allowed him to go on this long. If you do not want people like him to do things like this, then you should be preventing him to do it in the first place and not after he already did it.

I understand impulsive crimes, but when you are talking about someone who steals the user funds for a long time, for many months and maybe even for over a year, and you jail them afterwards? That feels like maybe nobody wanted to stop him at all. If there was proper auditing going on, then it would have been realized long time ago and not allowed to begin with and we wouldn't have this problem.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 30, 2022, 08:51:15 PM
Since the start of the season, Napoli have played extraordinary, but this is a different situation. After a long break, it is believed that changes will occur, especially after a friendly match where Napoli played less than optimally.
Betting on Napoli in this match is quite risky but anything is still very possible to happen.
this is a match that will be very fierce, I think it is difficult to choose a bet on one of the teams, but after I have considered it, I think it is more appropriate to bet on this match, is to take a goal over, seeing that both teams have great potential to score goals against each other.
after the world cup break, most teams played friendly matches to restore the squad mentality. Napoli did, despite the disappointing result. but in the Serie A match, now Napoli is the leader in the standings.
facing Inter is not an easy match for Napoli. but they can hold Inter. Inter just had a trial run with Sassuolo. with Inter winning 0-1.
what Inter has shown hasn't looked very good. but their chances of winning this match are bigger than Napoli's. A fight like this is hard to place a bet on. maybe I'll miss it.
I feel like friendly games to get back into match shape, and considering not that many players were in the world cup from serie A as a result, all comes down to realizing that they are not really doing anything big at the moment.

I personally would love to have a situation where teams would play against only their opponents during friendly, like Napoli vs Inter and Milan vs Juventus type of friendly during that period so that people would realize it is not really a big deal. In any case, I feel like Serie A is basically Napolis playground for this season, and I do not see them giving up the leadership at any moment of the season and will get the title by the end for sure.
434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Staking should be limited and time based on: December 30, 2022, 06:19:10 PM
1. They use time limit offers on their staking, meaning the staking won't run forever unlike some other projects, staking is capable of ruining a project.

2. They create spot for some period of time, e.g 100 people can stake withing the time frame of 1 month to 3 months. Binance do this a lot.

This is what real staking should look like to keep your project running without hurting the project, most especially new crypto projects.
Staking is a tricky scheme and I am sure it got no big differences from bitcoin's mining. All kind of staking based projects are getting failed over the time for the reason of continuous dumping by stakers but why bitcoin is coping against the dumps by miners?

So, there cannot be any wrong with staking scheme but a project must need to be potential enough to keep attracting new adapters to withstand against the selling pressure of staker/miner. So, there will be no need of limiting stakers like only 100 people can do at a time or any kind of restrictions for a true potential based project.
435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th. on: December 30, 2022, 05:05:20 PM
I am entirely sure that it would be something that is more and more popular overtime. Twitch has done so many bad things over course of many months now, maybe even over a year. People realize that they are a monopoly, and they go there when they want to first start out, but when they grow big enough there are other places, such as youtube for example, and you could always be there.

Doesn't mean you will make the same money, but if you make a lot already then you could say no to excess amount and switch for bigger potential. Which one would you prefer? Making 250k a year on twitch forever, or making 150k on Kick.com with a chance to make 500k+ one day if you consistently stream?
The idea is to just disrupt the market by getting what is not allowed in other places. I mean we had erotic cam websites for a long time and they streamed and that caused a little bit of difference. But, when onlyfans started people acted as if that's normal, which I think it's normal but to imagine onlyfans as normal yet some stream websites as not normal? That's weird.

So, I guess there will eventually one website where it is allowed to do ANYTHING as long as it's fine by law, like not "watch me steal money live!" type of deal of course lol, but anything legal will be allowed and it will grow to be much much bigger than twitch one day, I am 100% sure of it.

The statistics for the meetings of these two teams are more in favor of Barcelona, but it must be seen that at that time Barcelona still had stars like Lionel Messi who became the heart of Barcelona's game. I agree that this is a meeting that will be very different, apart from the players in the two teams there are also many differences, the coaches of the two teams are also different, and as far as I can remember this will be the first meeting between these two coaches.
It will 100% be different but that doesn't mean it will be amazing for United neither. I mean sure they are doing better than how they started the season, they might be not doing that great at the start but got better but so did Barcelona as well, they are doing fine.

All in all I have to say this is a game between equal parties, I do not see one better than the other at all, I see them both at the same level right now and if I had to be an oddmaker I would do it 2.30 vs 2.30 equal odds, which I know is not but that is how I see them. I believe that it is quite important to reach to a point where you realize big teams are much closer in talent than people think they are.
437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 29, 2022, 08:16:55 PM
I don't doubt Borussia Dortmund in creating potential young players. However, it becomes useless when they cannot take advantage of their ability to create potential players to make them achieve at least at the Bundesliga level. They do benefit from the players they sell, but as a connoisseur of football I feel it reduces their professionalism in the competition for the championship ladder.
The whole idea when this all started was to get better and better younger players and sell for higher and eventually have enough money to build a whole team of young stars. Like get someone for 5 million or 10 million, sell them for 60 million, get 3 more total of 30-40 million, sell them for 150-160 million, and keep repeating that right?

Then one day when you have 200-300 million in the bank, just go get some good young players for 30-40 million, you could get at least 7-8 of them, and you could be doing amazingly thanks to that and keep those players for like 5 years and make them play together, when they are 27-28, they would be star young players who became great teammates at their peak. This of course is not happening right now and that's their problem.

One point gap with Tottenham and still have one more game to go as Spurs have now played 16 games while Manchester United have 15. For us, what Erik ten Hag is doing at Old Trafford is right at the moment.

A good invitation and at this time all that needs to be done is to look at every match optimistically despite the strength or weakness of the opponent to be faced by itself the opportunity to be able to win the Premier League will be closer to being achieved even though city rivals and Arenal look very strong as candidates who will win the end-of-season trophy.
Closure is what they needed and they got it, which helped everyone to at least know what's what. They had Ronaldo, and I still think that he is a great player there is no doubt about that, he is a marvellous player that could have helped them.

However, there was a lot of trouble and Rashford played at times, hell Eriksen played striker for a game if I remember correctly, Martial? Whatever happened was it was always a bit indecisive because everyone kept asking Ronaldo to play as well and manager had to sub him in, or play him in Europa. Now that it's decided he is gone, even though he was a good player, it's better to have certainty and now everyone knows the team is without him and can play accordingly.
439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 28, 2022, 08:33:32 PM
About Bochum their performance were slightly better after having new manager and when Bundesliga starting again most of the players hopes they can managed their performance and avoiding relegation zone and their next opponent is Hertha Berlin and they are not strong opponent so although is hard but there is a chance for Bochum to earn 3 points from Hertha Berlin especially Bochum was performing well during playing at home but one thing for sure Bochum have to improved their defense and it's necessary because their defensive lines is one of the worst in Bundesliga
It is difficult to predict which teams will be in the relegation zone now. Because there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play about 19 more matches. So now even though Bochum is in the relegation zone, if they perform well in a few matches they will be able to get out of the relegation zone. And after winning the last two matches Bochum's players are now very confident. I think the Bochum team can get out of the relegation zone very soon.
Schalke at the very least will be gone. They are having high financial crisis and because of that they are incapable of getting any expensive players. Any good players they have is players who are willing to play for cheap for them and not something bigger. And at the end of the day they are going to relegate again and again, and if they prove themselves to be good enough they will promote back.

This will go on until they fix their financial situation, it is not going to be easy to accept that as Schalke fans because they are used to being good, even win titles, and be great in the league but that doesn't mean that it is not going to happen for the time being.
440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 27, 2022, 09:54:47 PM
Man United is slowly improving its squad. Ten Hag improved MU's midfield and back, and the results have already been seen. but on the front lines, as you said, MU lacks players with the potential consistently to score goals. therefore it is rumored that Man United is being very aggressive in hunting for strikers in the winter transfer market.
Man United is hunting for a player who plays as a midfielder and winger/striker. De Jong is still Man United main target to strengthen the midfield, but Ten Hag's desire to continue working with his former subordinates at Ajax Amsterdam has again reached an impasse. De Jong still wants to play at Barcelona and Xavi will soon put him in the position Bosquets often occupies. Meanwhile, in the Winger/Striker position, there is already the name Cody Gakpo, but no agreement has yet been made.
De Jong situation is a lot more about money and not about just Barcelona, because if United offered a lot of money that would mean that Barcelona would have a lot of money room to wiggle on their financial burden as well. This is why I am pretty sure that if United offered 100+ million to De Jong, they could get him without a doubt.

But, as we all know there is really nothing about the current situation that could be considered 100+ million worthy, why would they pay him that much anyway? So all in all, it is at an impasse because United doesn't want to overpay again, and of course Barcelona wouldn't sell unless it is too good to turn down type of offer since they are using him happily.
