If you know the right thing do it, yes I said that because going against the policy of a platform is considered wrong and sometimes comes with a very big disadvantage, sometimes these online sites have there different ways of punishing customers who go against their TOS that does not accept the use of VPN, so it would be at your own risk if an online site does not permit the use of VPN and you go against it because  you might be able to make deposit, stake on games but might find it difficult to make withdrawals due to a bridge in their policy.

 I've seen situation where people violate the terms and conditions of online gambling platform and also called them with backlash when they're being punished or frustrated by the platforms, the thing is violating a platforms TOS  warrant punishment and no matter how you call them out when you're unable to withdraw your funds or asked to provide frustrating documents before withdrawals they'll always get the upper hand so far you're guilty so it best to avoid going against a companies TOS or risk being punished severely.

This is a very interesting thread and I'm going to give you a honest reply,first off i think what my Dad is doing is trying to nurture me against developing an addiction for gambling, therfore I'll listen to his advise and avoid being disinherited by him, why should I refuse his offer when I know I'll be inheriting something that I don't stand a good chance of having through gambling, moreover 5 years without gambling would be very beneficial to my life cause it would help me focus more on how to manage my Dad's inheritance.

 However in a case where I've developed so much passion for it, since I've mastered sports betting and have a very good winning mentality in it I'll pretend to him that I've quit and give him every benefit of doubt that I'll go back into it but will secretly gamble without his notice, we're  currently in a world we're internet and technology has made it possible for people to gamble online at the comfort of their homes and since my Dad is a wealthy person I think he'll be too busy to monitor always so it's a win win for both of us because he'll be proud of me for being obedient and I'll get my inheritance after 5 years.

Just like with every other trends that I have witnessed in my time in the cryptocurrency market, NFT will keep improving as the market gets more maturity. When defi started it wasn't as good as it's now, then we started with poor project and protocols but things has improved and that's how the NFT market will also improve, we'll grow pass just pictures.
NFT will be used for valuable things in the future.I believe NFT has a future because soon we'll be having real estate become a big deal in the metaverse and not just a hyped trend. Many things will be done in the metaverse and we might need NFT to get access to the metaverse. In the future one NFT can hold the pass to enter multiple metaverse and not just one.
NFT is going to be a part of the market from now on, developers will work on giving NFT more utility and it'll be accepted by the community when that's done. NFT was just hyped without any real utility and that's why  the hype die so soon but when the utility comes we'll see interest rates in NFT starts picking up again as people will want to be a part of it.

This is why we don't have to ignore memecoins anymore because they can make you very big profits better than most of the projects you're investing in that has big things that they're working on. Memecoins like doge coin and Shiba Inu has made many investors profits and they'll still make more investors profits in the bull market that we'll be expecting very soon.
I remember buying one memecoins that I forget on an exchange and when I returned, it was worth about $1,055. Memecoins are no joke anymore, before they were just joke coins but now they can make you life changing money. Memecoins will be among the top earnings for next bull market that's coming, it mightn't be the memecoins that we already know.
This is because I think more memecoins will be launched before we enter a bull market and they'll become as popular as have dogecoin, shiba Inu and Pepe popular. Also this memecoins will be listed on popular exchanges since they'll be among the top traded coins. You don't have to like memecoins to make profits from them just do proper research to avoid investing in scam.

Influencers are one of the biggest problems of the cryptocurrency market because they don't care about the market but just want to shill the tokens they have been paid to shill and they don't care if the project are scammers and people's are going to lose money when they invest in the project because they recommended it to their followers, influencers shouldn't be trusted.
There's lots of scammers on twitter because twitter is very free to use just as we have lots of scammers on telegram because telegram is very convenient to use by this scammers in defrauding investors. We have to be careful of who we allow to come into our DMs on social medias. Scammers are working everyday to scam investors, don't be deceived like others.
If you're on any of the social media like Twitter, telegram etc that has lots of scammers, you can help in cleaning the media by reporting scammers when they contact you and try to convince you to invest into the project that they're promoting but it's a scam. Always protect your investment as we're responsibility for anything that happens to our investment.

Buying BNB at $250 is a good decision because when BNB gets to $1k that means you made 3x on your investment and I think $1k is the least BNB will trade during the end of the bull market. I think we can see BNB trading between $3k to $5k because of the potential of the coin and the constant burning of the circulating supply that the team is always doing quarterly.
The quarterly burns increases BNB scarcity and increase the demand of the coin by investors, also since BNB is needed to participate in launchpad tokens, people are holding BNB for that purpose and it's also reducing the circulating supply that's available for trading. And too we have investors that have staked millions of tokens when combined together.
BNB should be among the coins you'll be buying for the bull market and now is the perfect time to start accumulating them because soon they'll be worth more than it's currently trading. BNB is high value project but still have big potential since it isn't costly yet but that won't last for too long because as the bull market get closer more investors will be buying BNB

Many projects in the market are scams and for them to look legitimate they hire the service of blockchain companies that investors trust. They pay them and they give them good rating. This is why you shouldn't believe everything you see in the market because scammers can do anything to look legitimate so they can scam people, some get listed on exchanges to scam.
This is the right time to invest but don't trust every project you see in the market, we also have scammers now launching fake projects because they know investors are looking at the market in search of quality projects to invest into and if they can make the project look like a very quality project they can deceive many investors and scam them of their money
ARB is the new trending coin and many scammers will be launching something similar like using similar name or logo to deceive investors and if we don't do more research we'll be defrauded. Research are very important because it make you to understand what you're investing into and prevent you from investing into scam that are in the market like the scam project called SWAPRUM.

Small circulating supply profits a project that's why Bitcoin has only 21 million supply and the price is around $30k because of the low supply and we have other projects benefiting from the low supply and we can see their price high which is why other projects with high supply like BNB is burning their supply so they can reduced their circulating supply to attract more investors.
If a coin like Dogecoin had a small circulating supply it would had been worth more than $100 because of the hype the project has but because it doesn't have a maximum supply, it'll be very difficult for the coin to pass $1. Other project like Shiba Inu will take forever because of the trillions of supply the coin has. Large communication also is important for a project success.
We have many things that contribute to the success of a project and having limited supply is one of them then we have the community support and the marketing of the project. Many projects aren't worth what they're valued but because of their marketing they're among the top projects. So a token having just small circulating supply doesn't mean it's a good project to invest into.

If Bitcoin reaches $100k or $300lk it's means there's plenty money coming into the market and altcoins will benefits from that money too. Many altcoins will see big gains and increases passed their 2021 all time high because alot of investors will be looking for alternative investment to make to get big profits and altcoins will be their favorably options to invest.
Newly created altcoins will benefit the most that's because they'll be focused on the trending topics like Artificial intelligence. And they'll still be new to inventors and people will invest hoping to be the first users to buy the altcoins so they can profit from been first investors. Next bull run is going to be massive and only those that buy now and be patient will be profitable.
While we're investing in altcoins we have to be careful because some altcoins will fail and won't make it back to their former all time high because they'll be forgotten. Ethereum, Binance coin are some coins that'll be profitable next year because of the quality of the projects. You can buy them while you're waiting patiently for the bull market to come after the halving of Bitcoin.

@Saheedu, i want you to understand that the bitcointalk is made up people from different parts of the world and from your statement i think the ban  is only applicable to those that are residents of Australia, and the prime minister of Australia doesn't have any legal right to ban the ANN thread from the bitcointalk, maybe the forum might only adjust their policy and restrict residents of that particular country from viewing the ANN thread if need be, which I don't think is likely to happen.
 The thing is different countries review their constitutions and set ban on things they see as threat or not right for their society on the other hands the government benefits from those gambling sites  through different means so I feel they'll later come to an agreement to make amends of those odd advertisements that promotes addictive gambling and also using illegal means to promote gambling but one thing I'm sure of is that a government can try to implement laws that would restrict illegal advertisements but it would be quite difficult to stop people from gambling because it's addictive, you can only encourage them to quit but can't stop them forcefully.

I feel maybe the author of that statement is an agent for a gambling site and was trying to encourage people to bet more knowing they stand a greater chance of losing, especially those that requires you to wager some fews before withdrawals it's a very wrong statement and people should decist from that idea, now my question is, are those people willing to lose their funds gradually for a long period of time till they hit the jackpot? and eventually you go broke due to that would you risk wagering your valuablable items to recover your losses? If yes then goodluck to them  but if no then why would people allow themselves to be deceived by wrong statements.
 
  I've come across this similar statement where peope say they'll recover all their money before they quit, which is also wrong as well because that's one of the criteria of becoming addicted to gambling you should know when to pause for a while else you'll suffer more loss due to anxiety, however in my country some  people claim they can't quit because it's become part of their lifestyle, and if they're reputable many others mostly younger ones would want to emulate such lifestyle which is also very wrong.

Both devices are very suitable for accessing sites on Google but it depends on the users choice because most people feel browsing with the computer is more faster but on the other hands it takes more Internet connection thereby making cell phone a preferred option by others, and not everyone would be willing to carry their computer from one place to another when they could easily make predictions on online sites, anywhere with their cell phones, and in a case one's battery is drained and in a place where there's no power supply one could easily charge there phone with power banks but the laptop powerbank is big and can't be carried everywhere by people, so they both have their advantage/disadvantages and is patronised based on the users choice.

@Doncaster your statement  seems true because I've researched  and discovered that Google doesn't allow advertisement of online gaming apps that requires waring of money or any thing valuable to gain profit, expect for fantasy sport in countries where it's considered legal, and I also checked the playstore and discovered that I couldn't find online betting apps but only tips for predictions and some few casinos slots, well maybe it varies for different provinces.

Meme coin investment are very risky because nobody knows which memecoins is going to be the talk of the market. You have to invest in multiple memecoins if you want to benefits from the hype of the market. Memecoins are becoming very popular and we don't have to ignore them again because if you ignore them, you'll miss our on profits.
Make sure your have memecoins in your portfolio for next bull market because alot of memecoins are becoming very popular on exchanges. Before we had only doge coin but now we have Shiba Inu and many others trading at very large Volume daily which means memecoins are becoming very popular among investors. Therefore we don't have to neglect any sectors of the market.
Our investment should touch every sectors because we haven't known which areas will received the most investment from the market and any sectors that received the most investment will be the most profitable areas of the market. I think artificial intelligence will be among the top earners therefore we have to make investment in AI coins for better profits or we miss out.

$20k is a huge amount to invest in altcoins but it depends on how many tokens you want to invest into, if you make your investments with $1,000 each which I think is a good amount to invest into altcoins that'll make you to invest in 20 project and when you invest into 20 project you have an advantage of making good profits when the bull market comes.
There's no reason why you shouldn't make profit oif you invested into more than 15 projects. You can divide your investment and make sure you invested into different areas of the market starting from Artificial intelligence to other sectors of the market. Artificial intelligence is going to be one of the most trending projects of next bull market.
And if you invest into project focusing on that area, you're going to make good profits. Metaverse is another area we have to pay attention in because many projects are working on their own Metaverse and soon we will have many Metaverse project of high quality. To benefit form altcoins investment, we have to invest into different areas id the market.

People are scared of staking because they feel staking are not productive because there has been false accusations that stake coins give low return because when they get unstaked that they get dump.by whales to manipulate the price and bring the price down so those that staked their coins won't get much profits. Staking has been one of the most profitable ways of investing .
Because when you stakes you're reducing the coins in circulation and giving the project more opportunities to give good return to their earlier investors. I'll always advise people to stake as it gives investor more opportunity to hold their tokens instead of if selling and this make room for future investors to profit instead of regretting of selling their investment very early.
Staking makes you become a diamond holder as you receive reward for holding so you'll always be interested in staking but just holding or trading makes you put yourself at risk of no profit. Anybody's that what to make big  profits from the cryptocurrency markets has to become a holder and a staker because, you don't lose when you stake instead you profit more profit.

The minimum age for both gambling and bitcoin investment is 18 years though some exchanges allow even teens to invest in it but the history of gambling have been dated far back in the AD'S before Bitcoin was created and in as much as Bitcoin is a good investment it's still not considered by many people and some don't even know about it or how to invest in it, also the volatility of bitcoins price have made it difficult for most people to consider making investment in it
 However the risk in gambling is greater because you could buy and hold bitcoin for a long term and sell to make profit when the price goes high but you can't get back your many when you lose due to wrong predictions in gambling, even though most online casinos offers cashback where you get 20% of your money when you lose one could still try to recover their lose and lose against but the thing is a good number of people who are not ready to go into a long term investment would always fall back to gambling because it's  easy to learn and they consider it an option to get rich quicker not minding the risk in it.

PSG where so desperate for the champions league to the point that they had to break the bank to bring in world class players into their squad but it still didn't work for them, and when they noticed it wasn't working they decided to trim the squad by letting go of some world class players that are demanding a heavy wage bill, I consider that a good idea because it would help them restrategies on a better squad that would be suitable for the coach and listen to his instructions also challenge for the champions league which they're yet to win

 since superstars like messi and ramos have left the squad, the fate of Mbappe and neymar are yet to be decide, although rumours have it that neymar could move to an English team, but due to the extention of his contract in 2021 i don't think he'll likely leave yet and Mbappe on the other hands is still having talks with Realmadrid and a move could likely happen because he's would be free in 2024 and PSG would want to cash in him and not losing him for free.

I don't think the coach would had made him his preferred choice for the role of a captain considering your judgement about his character,well no one is happy to be losing a match or underperforming and it's the duty of the captain to help call the players to order when things are not going the right way, left for me I think he's the most suitable candidate for that role, and he's proved himself worthy last season showing great quality on the pitch, also I think their are some leadership qualities Ten Hag have seen in him that fans are not aware of.

 Talking about Maguire it's a good thing he was stripped off the role of the captain in manchester united, he looks very tough and performs well for the England team but have refused to establish himself to be suitable for manchester united, if he doesn't improve and  try to claim his spot in the starting 11 then now is the best time to move to another team and see if he'll recover the form that made ole gunners solskjaer bought him into manchester united, but I don't think Eric Ten Hag is patient enough to wait for his improvement and would likely offload him or make him sit on the bench this season.

 Most people consider USA to be their preferred winner of the 2023 FiFA women's world cup tournament because they've won two consecutive times and would be looking to win their third, they are said to have won 4 out of 8 tournaments so as the defending championship obviously they should be considered favourites and stand a good chance of lifting the trophy again but I think they're good to have a competition with the likes of France, England and Germany who have a multiple number or world class players in their squad especially england, well my predictions would go for england and I think they're going to be at the top of their table in the group stage winning against Haiti and Denmark on the 22nd and 28 of this month respectively and the Chinese woman might want to give them a tough game but I think it's not going to end up with a draw and they'll still have victory in that match, i think it's too early to predict which teams plays the final but my prediction is England Vs Germany or USA.

I think @MuffinMaster does not know Benzema's nationality, he's a French footballer incase you mistook him for a Belgian and I get your point because he's regarded as one of the best strikers of his time having scored over 300 league goals in his career for Realmadrid a figure that was only surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo, he had a great time at Madrid with a good scoring ability which also helped them to win most troophies, also his good record in the 2022 championship league season made it possible for him benzema to emerged as the Ballon d'Or winner.

 That's a record I don't see joselu achieving in Realmadrid because of his age, i consider him an average player and shouldn't be compared to a world class striker like Benzema, well with time we'll be able to know if he'll clear my doubts and have close to 30 goals a season like benzema does, left for me I'll prefer players like Harry Kane or Benzema's country man Mbappe that's proved themselves worthy and is sure of getting the goals and delivering up to 30 goals or more in a season which is what Realmadrid needs.
