If the etf approved then they send btc price high and then btc lowest price could be 70k-100k+ ever they use cboe price liq lockers ETF to be invested and 41k means pension funds will be invested but that's off course during the war.

They got exacly timing becouse by the year 2025 the repo will be depleted.

You could be wealthy If you manage to survive until 2030

With such a bold thread heading as that, you might expect to open it and have some incredible insights presented to you. However you have offered nothing but pure speculation and have zero evidence to support your claims. You have really put together some incomprehensible drivel that is completely meaningless. Picking random numbers out of the air and then trying to give them justification does not make you clever, but then the only vague justification you can give is "the war". Pension funds are relatively smart and are likely to be very slow to incorporate any sort of crypto currency, because they need to offer lifetime security to their clients and not just jump on the latest bandwagon for no benefit.
422  Economy / Economics / Re: Reasons for personal financial accountability? on: January 13, 2024, 07:20:38 AM
As day and night keep occuring, hustling to meet our needs is not negotiable as long as we still have an interest in living. Whether working hard or working smart, the primary and secondary goal is to have something that can aid our survival at the end of the day. No one is interested in how you made your money, just get your basic needs and live your life.

Accountability happens to be an important figure that indicates how well everyone makes use of the resources they have in their possession. Don't be surprised that some people who earn very decent amount still struggle to survive due to the inability to give proper account of how they've spent their money.

Below are the few reasons why personal accountability is important
1. It fosters self discipline in the areas of spending. Accountability sometimes teaches us how to restrain ourselves from our wants.

2. It creates room for investment through wise decision making. In this scenerio, we often consider investment rather than squandering funds.

3. It encourages the regular checking of financial growth, which help us to monitor our earnings and expenses.

4. It builds financial confidence in hustling continuously.

How to practice financial accountability
1. Be truthful to yourself. Certainly, no one knows you better than you know yourself. Your decision to spend right is for your own benefit and not for others.

2. Have an innovative or conservative mindset. By having an innovative mindset, we tend to invest on our own ideas, while by having a conversative mindset, we tend to save our money like some Bitcoin hodlers do.

Thanks for reading through, and what are your opinions regarding personal financial accountability?.

At some point in life everyone has to get a grip on their finances, otherwise you'll be entirely dependent on other people and they may eventually vanish. It's also too easy to "live in the moment" but building up a future is also important, because you need to feel like there is something to look towards and have a safety net for tougher times. Nor is that safety net going to appear instantly overnight for most people, it's something that can take years and decades to build up, so you should start as early as possible. It's no good getting to 60 years old without a plan, because at that point you will struggle and I'm not sure you deserve all that much sympathy when you had a long time to prepare.
423  Economy / Economics / Re: If you are investing in the stock market, coinbase is good to invest in now! on: January 12, 2024, 07:38:11 PM
Yes, if you are an investor that loves investing in the stock market. This is a good time to buy the Coinbase stock inside the stock exchange market. We are going to see the Coinbase stock price go high soon, and this is because all those ETF that were approved by the SEC cannot hold the bitcoin. Since the SEC said if an investor invest x amount of Bitcoin in any ETF the ETF should be able to hold exactly x amount in a secured wallet for the investor.

However, out of the 11 Bitcoin ETF that was approved. About 6 uses Coinbase as a custodian wallet. This is why there will be increase in the price of Coinbase in the stock market as there will be a substantial amount of Bitcoin going into Coinbase soon.

What are thoughts as well?

This idea is about 6 months late to the party, as with most speculators. Coinbase was at the floor back then, but now it is just as high and as volatile as bitcoin. If you want to invest in something right now, because crypto seems to be on a high, then you might as well go directly to the source instead of adding a middleman in between that is going to sap out some of the profit. Coinbase was definitely worth a punt a year ago, but nobody could have known that bitcoin would make the resurgence that it has - but you would have made more money from buying this stock at the time. This is all in hindsight now and there is no special value in this company at the current price, so it's an old news story and a poor investment plan.
424  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do gamblers always ague alot? on: January 12, 2024, 07:20:52 PM
watching football at home or football viewing centres which is more convenient or preferable? Because most times if you go to viewing centre you'll discover that the agument is much and at times they make you feel uncomfortable to whatch the match. The people playing the game are comfortable and receive their payment, but people keep agueing what is meaningless and sometimes pick a fight because of agument. and this has made many to stop watching football in viewing centres despite the fun in viewing centre compead to home view.

Watching match at home or viewing centre which is more convenient or preferable?

So what is your experience on Gambling viewing centre and what have you learn and how were you able to handle such situation?

This sounds more like arguments between sports fans rather than gamblers necessarily. Sports fans can be very passionate about the teams or athletes that they support and will often take that to the extreme. When alcohol is involved it can end up in violence or other stupidity. They can get very passionate about particular games without any sort of money or risk being involved, but when they are involved things can escalate more quickly. This is why you'll often find fans separated in the stadiums themselves, because the die hard fans can be both sore winners and sore losers. I've been lucky enough not to be in any establishment where fans have taken things too far, but it can be the reason why some places end up shutting down.
425  Economy / Economics / Re: How to stay poor! on: January 12, 2024, 05:26:29 PM
As a businessman or salary earners here are tips on how to stay poor in life. Grin

1. Spending your money on unnecessary items immediately the money arrives. Trying to prove a point to people by living a standard that is above your pay grade.

2. Live on one source of income. Everyday of our life our responsibilities and challenges keeps piling up accumulating without consideration to our financial capability. The economy and cost of living continue getting worsen. So in order not to be able to beat this piling settle comfortably on a single source of income flow.

3. Become an extremely cheerful giver/lender to friends and family. A wisdom quote I read somewhere said, "if you want to lose your friends and family lend them money".  Keeping doing this and you going to be successfully poor.

4.Learn how not to mind your own business, making every events around you your concern even when it doesn't affect you. It's a nice way to make cool enemies. Etc.


I trust you all get the sarcasm as conveyed.

Many people will do these sort of things in their younger years, especially as they try to impress the friendship group or even just aimlessly trying to find a purpose in life. It can actually be good to experiment with a variety of different technologies, devices and experiences because it can unlock new ideas in people. However it can also keep you somewhat suppressed and a lot of money goes into marketing to separate you from your hard earned money, even when it's junk being offered. I personally have no idea how Apple has grown so big and has a continuing following of people, where they are able to release a "brand new" phone every year for thousands of dollars with very little distinguishing it from prior models.
426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What ugly incident or occurrence have you ever experienced in gambling? on: January 12, 2024, 05:23:24 PM
You can tap on the image to watch the full video. It was crazy to see this kind of luck slip from a gambler's hands simply because his device malfunctioned. It was funny to me, but at the same time, it saddens me. I wonder how bad the gambler felt.

Have you been faced with this kind of gambling problem? If not this particular one, what other annoying incident have you ever experienced in gambling?

On that video, what happened was that a dude from South Africa was gambling on a casino site known as Betway. The guy staked ZAR 277.08, and when he started the round, he got about 4,870.24x multiplier, which doubled his staked amount up to ZAR 73,059, which is about $3,900+. he lost the money because he was unable to cash out before he crashed.

In my case, I have not actually experienced any situation like that, apart from the usual disappointment you will experience with a club after you place a bet on them, believing so firmly that nothing will stop that club from winning, but they end up losing.

If you go to a physical casino and play for a while, you'll see all manner of crazy and despair that people are facing. While you might be having a great time with a group of friends, there can be some very depressed and distraught people around you who have lost their self control. Such people will often spend all their money in these places and enter a wild cycle where any new money they may acquire goes straight in here. If you're ever on a poker table as well, there can be some very boisterous and even downright nasty people that will try to bully those at the table. It may not even be intentional, they might just have an abrassive personality or not realize how they are coming across to everyone else, but it can still be unpleasant.

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right Undecided

Elon is a control freak, but one that has had a few lucky breaks when it came to business. He made a lot of money from his stake in Paypal, which allowed him to buy many talented people and fund different ideas. If he wasn't such an arrogant and stuck up asshole, he might be a role model for how to be a billionaire with some of the pioneering companies he has backed. However he definitely has an ego problem and isn't anywhere near as smart as he thinks. He also doesn't like when people question him, so when he decided to make Twitter his soapbox and was rich enough to buy it, it meant that nobody could then talk badly about him over there. However he never had a plan beyond that and spent way over the odds to buy it.
428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 10, 2024, 08:34:47 PM
Quite sometimes now i have been active in the gambling section and have pick interest to start gambling i have gone through lots of material in both the forum, i have seen that I can control my emotion as well as controlling my finance this includes;

  • Not involving myself in a revenge gambling
  • Not chasing profit after lost
  • Not involving oneself into compulsive gambling
  • Not solely replying on every game to be 100 percent correct
  • Not hoping that gamble is guaranteed
  • Not gambling with all my income or salaries
  • Among all, gambling for fun and not to enrich oneself

The point is my husband doesn't know that i have been secretly gambling and involving myself with gambling discussions and the rest, So, this morning when i woke something in me keeps telling me i should let him know to understand my involvement  to practice gambling.

Does this worth telling him or not please i need you collective ideas.

If you're having to ask the question here, then you're not going to get the right answer quite simply. The fact that you aren't more open about it, means that you might consider it shameful or something that should be hidden, when if it was no problem at all you might just consider it light entertainment that you do occasionally. What are you even looking for? If you just consider it a form of light entertainment, that you spend maybe half an hour on per week, then why would you need to share it or hide it? Just do your own thing. If you have it under control, then you would have no problem if he looked at your accounts, maybe you're down a few bucks or maybe you are ignoring the fact that you've really lost thousands.

2025-2026 the 30% -50% crash from the current prices UK EU CANADA USA Au.

Gold, expecting correction soon 30-45% down.
Bonds,nothing special but 2026 Will be good to cash out bonds.
Btc: 2024 nothing special stable sideways Market.
Crude oil bull run year 2027-2028

Over all: we are on fake out stage. Charts don't lie.


About btc ETF case,well If it does the btc price would go to 100k+ in one day but there is no instututional capital funding inflow into "long and call positions" show's btc january super max price 45k and in very extreme case 50k, strong resitance.
And there is no orders ready to support price to go even to 70k so ETF approval most likely year 2025-2026 once they ready to approve i will see that before.

Don't agree with your analysis of property, at the moment people are facing very high interest rates which has squeezed a lot of people who were overextended out of the market. That is causing a bit of a pull back on property prices, which is a rare scenario because it is trending up most years. Due to this spike in interest rates, it's causing a bit of a backlog of new buyers and people who don't reach the high threshold set by mortgage lenders. Once central bank rates start to subside, home builders will have more incentive to ramp up production and the housing market will start to thaw again. Not to mention that commercial investors in property were also feeling the crunch at higher rates and will face huge relief as mortgages come back down. I'm not sure you have what it takes to call yourself a trader, as most would only call themselves an expert in one or two of these areas.
430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Long-term profitable strategies on: January 10, 2024, 08:14:58 PM
Let's discuss long-term profitable gambling strategies, as well as the elements of such strategies. It is not even necessary to back it up with winning statistics (although no one will mind). It is enough to write that “I think that this strategy is profitable in such and such a game or in such and such a form of gambling.”
       Elements of profitable strategies are also quite interesting for discussion. I know that for long-term profitability, risk management is of course much more important. However, what is equally important is what leads to profit in addition to risk management.
     If your profitable strategy is of a proprietary nature, if it is secret and you do not want to write about it, then you can limit yourself to general reasoning. I think that this discussion will be useful for everyone and perhaps it will prompt some of their own promising ideas.

I get the feeling that there is long term potential to make a profit in sports betting and horse racing in particular, however you have to come up with a viable strategy which you track over the long term. If you have a bookmaker with reasonable odds, take a view of what the market looks like on a betting exchange like betfair 24 hours before the race. Then look at the same odds a minute or two before the race begins, you can quite often find large discrepancies which might allow you to build up a hedging strategy if you can pick enough good bets. There is a fair bit of movement in these odds and some large numbers involved, I've seen horses go from 5th favorite to 1st favorite overnight with nothing changing - you can pick out attractive horses based on their prior runs.
431  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto: a place where everyone makes money, but few secure it on: January 09, 2024, 09:41:52 PM
I was reading coinconfessions, and it occurred to to me that most of those who are in crypto go through a phase where they make lots of money, but eventually lose it all or most of it due to wrong decisions taken due to having lack of financial knowledge.

Some start fresh with lessons learned and make it back, for some having huge unexpected money come and gone creates a downward spiral that they feel hard to get out of, almost like they were better off not having this unexpected wealth come in first place.

Most people go through familiar stages of life, but it can come at different times for different people. Some will learn their important financial lessons early on, maybe even by the time they are 21, which can set them up on a great trajectory for earning later on. Others might only figure out some basic things when they pass 50 years old, and yet others still will never learn about how powerful financial instruments work. Take mortgages for example, in a world where prices seem to be constantly and incessantly pushing up, few people in their twenties might be able to avoid a house and never even start scratching the surface of what a mortgage is and how it works until they really need it - but as Warren Buffet said, it's the only form of debt that is worth it.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 09, 2024, 09:05:16 PM
I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.
At the virtue of getting the unbearable situations to an end, the relatives broadcasts the chronic addicted gambler at all costs of gambling boards never to give him privileges to gamble in any of the Gambling arenas anymore else they (the relatives) would sue the gambling boards owner.
This is just how recklessness could mess your life of you can't take control to gamble responsibly.

Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.

Unfortunately this scenario can happen in many different scenarios and comes down to an individual becoming addicted to something. I've seen very similar things happen when it comes to drugs, even ones that have been legalized for a long time like alcohol. The reality is that we all choose our own destiny, many of these people could reverse course at any point in their life, but they need to hit rock bottom and accept that is where they are. Then there are those people who live in denial, even tricking themselves into thinking that it is a happy way to live, these are the most dangerous and unsalvageable ones - because they have adjusted to misery for so long they start to actually enjoy it.

Food shortages have being a big problems in the global world today where tremedious things are happening people finds it difficult to buy food especially,rice products,climate change has devastated  the whole global world where crops can no longer do well in the farming system,believe with this new information about the crypto space can  our climate change system be put together where there will be high rate of food shortages in the global world as a new beginner I want to know we can fix this things I mentioned.

I think this is highly dependent on where you are located and what sort of resources you have available. Many people in the West might find this an alien concept if they're working every day and bringing in a salary, that can at a minimum avoid them basic food and the occasional luxury. A lot of people can also be quite wasteful in their lifestyles, whether that is becoming addicted to cigarettes, or over indulging in alcohol or even picking up a more expensive hobby like collecting sneakers. If you asked them to lay out a budget that might allow them to save more and make their money stretch further, they can often protect these things even though they might be one of the biggest money sinks in their lives.
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you win? on: January 09, 2024, 08:03:02 PM
From rising topics and lots of risk advise and content that has been shared in this section is enough for many of us to start leaning and put them into practice. Hence I understand that many people here often win or maybe twice a week or once a week maybe could be monthly, and I also believe that there are people who hardly make winning they can gamble for weeks and months without any possibility of winning at this point why don't we share our games.

Maybe anyone can decide to share his game and let those interested to should pick and play on their favorite gambling site, with this help we all can win together, the most important thing should be that everyone understand the gambling rules and for that can only bet with whatever they can afford to lose. If any game is posted by any reputable user here that does not mean that such person is 100% correct and hence shouldn't go bet with their entire life savings, the point is we should be able to carry this mindset that whatever may happen at the point of betting we might win or lose.

I don't know if such thread already existing or maybe, have been locked due to issues that was on grounds or could be that the thread is no longer effective if any please ref me then I can put this on lock as well then I will be more active over there.

I win almost every day, but then again I play free spins at a gambling site and I have no idea why they haven't blocked my account yet like the dozen other sites out there which did so. We're talking a few cents some days, and every couple months there will be a bumped bonus where I might win $20 from the freebie slots. I occasionally place a small sports bet on to mix things up, but they are much more 50/50. Almost any time I've played the lottery, which is maybe once every few months when the special draws are on, then it's a pointless loss and the few times you might win is an insulting amount like 1.5x the amount you paid for the ticket. You have to be quite disciplined and fortunate to take this approach though.
435  Economy / Economics / Re: Imagine African countries using Bitcoin to pay salaries, on: January 08, 2024, 09:58:32 PM
I don't know if the government of any African country have adopted the system of paying salaries in Bitcoin, but I know here is Nigeria they haven't, it's possible to pay employees using Bitcoin or other crypto currencies ,
With the services of some crypto currency payroll agencies  like Bitwage,papaya global, ontop,  which will make it possible for the government to pay their workers in Bitcoin or other crypto currencies and can be sent  into their digital wallet,
Since it has to do with the government another agency can be set up in the country in respect to paying salaries as Bitcoin which will somehow help in the growth of the economy of the country.

This seems like a horse before the cart scenario. If the demand was there, then it would already be gaining traction but the reality is people in these countries are often on subsistence level wages. The money that they earn is very quickly turned around and spent on just the basics that are needed to survive, they don't have any time for extra transaction fees or a slower pace or transferring it into another currency, when they can simply save that money by getting paid directly in the local currency. Nor do the employers particularly want to jump through this extra hoop when there are already established payment systems that would drop their prices even, if crypto actually posed a financial threat to their profits.
436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Woes of gambling on: January 08, 2024, 09:48:13 PM
Take casino games for example especially jackpot casino games there is no way you can tell me that all of them are structured in such a way that they randomly always make money for the house if you ask me gambling is a fraud that has been used to trick people into believing that their choices matter it does not everyone that gambles is just there to make money for the casino unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about human nature 💔💔💔

It's not fraud, however some people apparently cannot understand the simple maths that casinos will TELL YOU upfront and do not try to hide. Look for any references to "RTP" and that is the return to player amount. On average that is the return that you will receive and most games are in the 95% + range, which does simply mean that they are slowly taking your money because they each time you play is independent from all other plays. They do not owe you any money, nor do they force you to play there, gambling companies are only making money because other people are greedy and believe there is a short cut to wealth. On average you will lose, but people like to forget each losing spin and just focus on the "big" wins, that is what keeps these companies in business.

What are you basing your 80-90% number on, because it sounds like clueless garbage that you made up with no evidence to back it. We may eventually get to a point where such a reality exists and it might actually be a positive thing. As we are more likely to hit a 50% unemployment rate out of choice rather than the negative reality that you are suggesting. Maybe at some point in the future there will be so much automation and the richest will be reined in to the point where it might be possible to make work optional. Freeing people up to pursue genuine leisure and pleasurable activities by choice, instead of being required to work. That would achieve the same end result of meaning less than 50% of people are in employment.
438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you willing to bet $50 spin for a chance to win $42 million? on: January 08, 2024, 09:20:24 PM
This thread is inspired by the thread created by sportsbet.io about a lucky bettor who won $42 million on a $50 spin.

So let's discuss. This kind of win can be compelete considered based on luck, and the winner is so lucky that he hit the Jackpot. However, since the goal here is $42 million and you can only win that if you would bet $50 for one spin. So, do you have the courage to do that?

Not a chance, because another way to look at it is that they are not a charity. The reason the jackpot reached that high was because many thousands, even hundreds of thousands of $50 bets were placed in order for the pot to grow so large in the first place. This is why gambling can be referred to as a tax on the poor, because while the headline figure looks attractive - I swapped my $50 for $42,000,000, the reality is that you have such an insignificantly small chance of winning, you'd be more likely to be struck by lightning multiple times, with each case being exceptionally rare in comparison. This is at the end of the day an excellent piece of marketing and will no doubt drive many more people to try it.
439  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Neo-colonialism: Is Nigeria Still Under British Rule? on: January 07, 2024, 08:03:03 PM
The answer to the topic of discussion is "YES" . Nigeria is not only under the British rule but, we are under the rule of the first and second world powers.

Neo-colonialism is a concept of governance or principle that  stipulates and promote an indirect capturing and domination of the processes of governance and economy of former colonial territories or states.

Neo-colonialism is mostly an economic domination of formerly colonized areas by their former colonial masters through modern means of economics.

Imperialism and Neo-colonialism started it's foundation in Nigeria as the former Royal Niger Company. The company had the authority of the royal seal to extract and export the natural resources of Nigeria to England for the advancement of their economy and industrial productions.

The system of governance adopted our traditional institution on two grounds 1. For language interpretation and 2. Resistance by the people. This whole adoption was for administrative convinence band elimination of resistance.

The native people became part of the exploitation process of themselves and their generations which we are seeing today. The introduction of the traditional institution into the process for the British government to rule the people through the chiefs and kings, the process provided,  An elite class that  became marchants  through incorporation into this evil of exploitation.

And after the gain of independence, the Nigerian state is still exploited through multinational corporations and companies Like Shell and Chevron, where our people are kept at the levels of artisans and administrators while , they bring their people as technical expartes.

In most cases like the days of colonialism, our people are kept as administrative heads in supporting the transfer of our resources to Europe and America for processing and reintroduction into Nigeria as finished goods.

The end tale of this arrangement is that, Nigeria becomes the source of their raw materials and their market. With this pattern, Nigerians are used to kill the idea of indigenization, production and distribution to show their loyalty to the western imperialist and to keep their administrative positions in those companies.

We must liberate ourselves through enlightenment. Your contributions please.

Some people don't like the sad fact that their leaders, even if they in this case are true Nigerians, are willing to screw them over just as hard as any other foreign power. You always need someone to blame and have to be under some victimization complex because you simply don't like the reality of the situation. What's funny is, Nigeria is more likely to be under the rule of China these days, which is moving in and much more willing to play the corruption game than Western countries. That would actually be the "neo" in the colonialism that you are facing right now. Sadly, ranting and raving about this like a lunatic on an internet message board is not going to get you anywhere in life, so it's better to give up the conspiracy theories and learn how to play the game.
440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 07, 2024, 07:58:28 PM
I just discovered a friend's personality, who in real life is very thrift and very conservative but once he played online in casinos he became very reckless and loved to play the risks because for him when it comes to gambling if you cannot take a risk you don't have a chance to win big, that's a big contrast from his real personality for him he has alter ego when it comes to gambling, so his outlook and decision is very much different when playing.

How about you Are you gambling in a way that is very different from your true personality,


As you go through life you will see this sort of hypocrisy in many different forms, but it can actually be quite damaging for people to act like this. Sometimes if people have lived a sheltered life, where they have not had exposure to all sorts of entertainment - like gambling for example, then they can sometimes be overwhelmed when they finally get to experience it. Somebody who is "very conservative" may not often get enough dopamine hits to be able to understand and control what happens when they get any sort of win in gambling. It may be a crazy new experience for them and they can end up going much deeper down the hole than someone who has experienced little hits all throughout their life by experiencing the many things on offer.
