Got my 2nd dose today with pfizer. Here in my place there are lot of discounts in every store like there are gasoline stations that has discounts in every liter you purchase for vacinnated person. There are also few restaurants. I think private sectors are getting or pushing people to get vaccinated

Do you think financial stability is mandatory to be a gainer in Bitcoin investments?
No, I know a lot of people who started at the bottom with little experience and expertise and are now millionaires because of cryptocurrency. So, in my opinion, financial stability is not a major determinant in becoming a millionaire because small investors may also hold their assets if they have the ability to do so. It's true that wealthy people don't mind if bitcoin prices fall because it's a long-term investment with a small amount of money at stake, but if small investors are also thinking about it, assuming that they've entered crypto for investment, then they should hold until it gives them huge gains and then diversify into other assets until they become millionaires.

It is not just about holding, because when we think of investment, we only think of holding; it is also about trading and investing in a promising coin. That is spot trading, which can result in a huge profit if a bull run occurs. Even if we have enough money to hold the coin, there are many risks involved in doing so, so we should learn first before jumping in.

Bitcoin is savior when it comes to financial and it helps me as well as it helps to economy too. I invested money in Bitcoin and getting back in profit on my bad times it really helps me alot so i can say it is a savior to me. 🙏🙏
Yes, bitcoin profits have helped create the financial crisis of the people in the midst of the epidemic and many people who lost their jobs and became unemployed. Bitcoin has been called one of the saviors for eliminating unemployment and improving people's quality of life.

Yes, you are correct, and I was one of them. Bitcoin has greatly aided me financially. I was a former programmer who was fired because our company was experiencing financial difficulties, so I was left with nothing  and a family to feed. Fortunately, I was earning money from bitcoin, and so I was able to feed my family. There are also online friends who are willing to help me.
4324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: September 19, 2021, 01:05:19 PM
This is why many people are traversing the wrong road once they got too deep in gambling. So while you are still in control with your gambling, better moderate it and know the limits how far you can go in this game. Don't resort to taking a loan from someone or even from your family, just to augment your needs in gambling. If you don't have funds, better stop.
Just know your limits and know how to control yourself. Whether the fate is bad with your first tries and then the next ones became better, still do not be overjoyed by it.
Learn to control and always be neutral every time you gamble.
That is what a gambler must do when they are playing gambling. Without having control, they will not have a chance to keep their balance instead will use all of the funds to just playing gambling. No matter your fate, you can only try to enjoy the game and do not think about your fate because you will not see it until you finish playing gambling. It will be better to have fun and trying to enjoy the game and always control yourself.

You can really change your fate like what youve said if you have everything under controlled then that could change the path of fate because everything has a cause and effect so that it. But when we are talking about luck then that is random which is really how lucky your are. I think both fate and lack of control are the same since you are controlling your fate since this game is only influence by your self not like the others that people can also influence it unless those gambling is not fair to you.
4325  Economy / Economics / Re: Government policies help to grow the price of bitcoin on: September 18, 2021, 02:59:42 PM
Not all of them are helpful in growing the price of bitcoin, remember that some of them are regulations that can cause the people to be scared and might sell their bitcoin prematurely to evade some of the clauses in the regulation before they are enforced.

I believe that this is simply a ban on bitcoin, but on the plus side, there are a few countries that have legalized bitcoin and others that are planning to do so in the near future. Now that is really good for the price because they will buy bitcoin, though we don't know what their regulations are because I am from a country where bitcoin is still illegal nor legal.
4326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think I have a gambling problem on: September 18, 2021, 12:34:33 PM


Thanks for the advice! Im at school currently, so I cant ask him right this minute, but I will do it as soon as possible, I am also going to start withdrawing all of my balance on Stake to my ether wallet when I get home. Im going to do my best to quit gambling for good.

You will grow up to be a responsible person because you can differentiate right and wrong on gambling, and you know how to take advice and listen to people I hope you find the right hobby for you, gambling is not a hobby for 14 years old like you, you are still a kid think and act like a kid, there are a lot of good games on the internet be a gamer, not a gambler.


This is something I agree with. You should take this advice because you are still young and it is very difficult if you become addicted at this young age. You should start playing games right now and start mingling with girls! Act like a child, he's right! But, in my opinion, you can decide what is good and what is bad, but stay away from gambling first.

You can always join the rebellion against these tyrants and tell them to go fuck themselves. It is not really that hard.

Dump your big house that eats away half of your monthly income, get a smaller car, eat less and you'll be able to survive through this mess even without a job.

If you want to comply because you don't want to move from your comfort zone, then get ready to be vaxxed forever and end up a genetically modified bio-mess.



Yeah, I love it. A vaccine panorama and a funny meme.


Currently, in our country, to return to work must be fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated people will be at a disadvantage to them. Traveling between countries also requires full vaccinations and screening tests to get on the plane.

It was a hilarious meme, haha. We are not all the same, but most private sector employers are advising job seekers to get vaccinated because it is one of their requirements, and the government is planning to make it mandatory, so we won't have a choice. We have no choice but to follow. I am vaccinated, but I respect those who do not want to be.
4328  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID advanced the world into the future on: September 17, 2021, 05:48:13 AM
The epidemic has a relatively large impact on Bitcoin. At least, that's what I think. During the epidemic, many people lost their jobs. Because they couldn't make ends meet, they sold the bitcoin they had bought for a long time to make ends meet. Some people bought bitcoin and when bitcoin fell, they did not have enough funds to continue to cover their positions and sell bitcoin.
It is a pandemic because it has affected the world and spread worldwide. Many laid off their jobs and we thought that it will have a significant negative effect on bitcoin.
But it's the other way that surprised us that bitcoin reached its newest ATH during this pandemic.
I also thought bitcoin will be greatly affected by this unfortunate situation that hit us, but it turned out it will become the way for people to know bitcoin for looking of an alternative way to earn while at home. This pandemic put as in a bad situation indeed, however if we look on the other side there's also positive things that happened. People unite, humanity were restored and bitcoin and alts reach another ath, some of good things that we should focus on.

Let us agree to look on the bright side and adopt what is currently taking place. I was in a bad situation when the epidemic hit; I lost my job and couldn't leave the house because of our country's regulations, but I was still able to make money online. If I do not adapt to the internet or online, it will be difficult, but you can now go out, though not as easily as before. We should be grateful for what we have because many people are still struggling today.
4329  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: September 16, 2021, 04:16:15 PM
This problem is caused by this epidemic. The scale of this virus is huge and unprecedented. The virus prevents us from working normally. There will be problems in natural food. This virus not only affects us humans, but also animals, restricting us. The efficiency of work leads to a shortage of goods, and natural prices will rise.

This is the effect of the pandemic, which is causing the poor to become even poorer. Life in that situation is extremely difficult because we have been unable to find work and are unable to go out on a regular basis, especially since the cost of all foods has doubled. But I've noticed that most of the rich people are getting richer, for reasons I don't understand; I've seen a lot of people buy cars, and we can see the poor people struggling to get by on a daily basis. It is affecting the poor people right now, and we should help others in similar situations.
4330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Uk most deprived areas have the Highest number of gambling outlets. on: September 16, 2021, 11:48:35 AM
Comparing out online and offline casinos then i can say that they are still having some good share when it comes to revenue since there are still people who do gamble out on physical places
because people do much prefer on having real experience rather than playing online.So its a personal kind of preference since not all would be having the same interest.
Speaking off deprived areas on where those gambling places been placed on then its bit understandable that most of poor people residing will really be likely
to make gambling as an option to make some income which means losing is inevitable and thats a sure income to the casino owners.

the demographics of online casinos are probably quite different as well since they are not limited by place and can access people in different economic situations

there's that, the house always wins, regardless of medium

It is true that the house will be the final winner for whatever reason. Even someone who says that he has won the Jackpot, actually behind it all he does not say how much money he has spent before making a profit. Maybe 100x the deposit made for just one win. So back to the casino house that with the calculations that can be obtained, the casino is the winner.

This is something I agree with! We only saw him hit the jackpot once, but if you add up everything he spent, I believe it would be half of his winnings if we were lucky, but it was still a profit. That is how gambling works; some people lose a lot of money, while others win a lot of money. It is extremely difficult if everyone wins, and if everyone loses, then no one will play, and only the casino owners will become wealthy.
4331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling awareness for adolescents on: September 16, 2021, 04:33:23 AM
Could there be a "something" behind this program?
Why is the target of adolescents?
Possible. But hopefully not.

But certainly, education related to gambling for teenagers who are already prepared is needed, at least they know the basic.
But back again on what the contents of the program. And certainly not only echo the positive side but also seen from the other side.
But if related to the Charity program, this might be useful. But still, the main purpose does not intend to attract these adolescents to be interested in playing gambling always.
Probably the numbers of adolescents players are increasing and there’s a risk of that if they are not knowledgeable enough about gambling, this can be a good start but too late to educate them if they are already into gambling, well this can at least prevent them from addiction. This is not for charity program i believe, its main purpose to educate and not to encourage hopefully.

But do you think that those in adolescents period is not really prone to addiction than the young one since they are know what they are doing. It is only for comaparing both since we know that everyone is prone to addiction with it. What should do is really educate and still guide them about it.
4332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concern about the the problem of online underaged gamblers. on: September 16, 2021, 03:07:46 AM
This is no way gambling platform can determine users that are underaged and those that are not because most gambling sites does not requires kyc which might be very hard for them to know. The problem of who is underaged and who are not does not really concern gambling platforms and there no law that subject them to do verification for knowing who is underaged or not. The society is moving to other level which will be less strict on underage activities.

Agree to this. But most of the  websites has a agreement with the user upon registration like tick the box if you are 18+ so anyone could lie to it . Even undeaged they will tick it since no one will know he is underaged. Though sites now are having KYC but that was also bad to their websites since others will migrate to other sites that doesnt have KYC
4333  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid-19 vaccination becoming a criteria to live in the world on: September 15, 2021, 04:16:11 PM
The vaccination is becoming a criteria indeed and it must be also. Without vaccines, the probability of being taken into intensive care is rising very quickly. Because in that case, our immune system is having a big difficulty in fighting against the virus. And we have even deadlier variants now. We have no choice other than being vaccinated if we care about our life. There is no meaning in being anti-vaxxer.
the problem is this virus continues to mutate and create new variants that can be more infectious and deadly. we do not know in the future whether the vaccine we have received is still effective against this virus or not. Recently the delta variant virus has made most vaccines less effective.

But getting injected is preferable to not getting injected, right? However, it is their personal preference. For the time being, it is becoming increasingly difficult as the virus evolves, but we don't have anything to do but wait for the virus to die out, which means that we must continue to follow the protocols in order for our country to boost its economy and recoup its losses.
4334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why did you miss Bitcoin? on: September 15, 2021, 04:51:48 AM
I had no idea about the crypto world when Bitcoin came to crypto. I get involved in crypto only a few years ago. When I saw the Bitcoin, the value of Bitcoin was 20k dollars. Which was out of my reach. If I could get involved in the crypto world in the beginning, I would never miss a brilliant currency like Bitcoin.

Even so, you'll get off sooner because it dumps hahaha. We are the same, I bought a whole bitcoin but still got scared because it was money and I don't like losing money, but after that I found ways to earn without spending a penny, so after earning enough bitcoin, I still didn't hold it, I converted it to our own currency, and that's the cycle. Now that the price is really high, I can't really afford one, but I'm still making money with it. If I had just kept my previous earnings, I believe I would have two bitcoins right now, but I am glad I spent it before because we were really poor at the time, and that was the only time I could afford to eat at a restaurant.
4335  Economy / Economics / Re: Boost of a countries economy on: September 15, 2021, 04:13:15 AM
Crypto indeed would boost a country's economie. If a country has a high unemployment rate, all it has to do is to adopt bitcoin, open new bitcoin mining farms and employ the unemployed people there. If they work hard enough, they can even export the unused bitcoins to the rest of the world and make a killing. It is almost a no-brainer solution.

Hmm good idea but it was also an expensive one. If these would be implemented by the government i think they should have a huge budget in buying things and equipment so that it could able to mine then after that we all knew that not all the electricity in the countries are cheap so we are also paying huge amount of bills after the end of month unless they will try to make a natural electricity or more Eco friendly like geothermal energy or solar but still it will be needing a lot of effort and also budget.
4336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: September 15, 2021, 01:54:06 AM
Cheesy LMAO, there is no such thing is "fate" when it comes to gambling or anything period as far as I am concerned.  That's like using the saying "everything happens for a reason".  It amazes me that people literally believe that.  Gambling is two part..both skill and luck, but there is not fate involved. Let's be real here.
Fate is power especially when it comes to people that are religious in nature, doing things and believing that there fate will always set them free, giving them luck that can attract more luck when it comes to gambling. Gambling does not only works with fate but also luck which is the influence that is pulled by fate.
 

Yes, it is more religious people, and I believe it is their destiny to win this game or the pot money, but it was just their thoughts, and there was nothing wrong with them. It's the same as their expression. It's like when we say gambling is all about luck, but that's just our opinion; you'll say it's a combination of skill and luck. Everything is fine because we each have our own viewpoint on life. What's the point of not having fate if it's free and can boost your morale?
4337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as primary currency on: September 14, 2021, 04:16:47 PM
You should never make bitcoin your primary currency because our world is not yet ready for it, there are still a lot of people who don't have knowledge in the crypto industry and besides, you cannot use your bitcoin to buy necessary things unless the store is open to it but mostly it is not. Invest only the excess amount of your monthly salary, 80% is really huge and I wonder if you have other sources of income to sustain you needs in a month.

This is something I agree with. It is not a matter of being prepared, but of having internet access throughout the country and of all of us being computer literate. For the time being, it is still not possible to find a store that accepts bitcoin as payment, making it extremely difficult to find one. However, if you live in El Salvador, I believe there will be many stores that accept bitcoin as payment because the currency was recently legalized in the country.
4338  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin after the pandemic on: September 14, 2021, 11:54:27 AM
The epidemic has a small impact on Bitcoin. When the epidemic broke out all over the world, it did not stop people's enthusiasm for buying Bitcoin. The epidemic did not spread on the Internet or the blockchain. People can still buy or sell their own bitcoins freely. Bitcoin, many people who have lost their jobs can continue to use Bitcoin to earn wealth! This is exciting!

True, but the pandemic has made bitcoin the most popular because people are now looking for ways to make money online. When we used to talk about bitcoin, they would immediately tell us that it was a scam and that it was used for illegal activities, but it has now been erased! They now see bitcoin as an investment because the price is so high and we want to earn one. Even after the pandemic, the price of bitcoin remains high, and most people want to invest in it.
4339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wrong to be a long term holder on: September 14, 2021, 05:03:47 AM
One of the obstacles when it comes to being a long-term holder is when we see bad news that causes our assets to go down. There we think to sell it first and we only get a small profit or even a loss because at that time the price of our assets dropped. But, if you believe strongly in the project for the future. You don't have to check it all the time.

Those who are new to holding or new to this will most likely run into this issue. If you have been holding bitcoin for a long time, you will notice that it is only a temporary situation, as the price of bitcoin will always rise, no matter how terrible the days are. It's difficult to just forget about it and not keep track of its price because it's your investment, but the best thing to do is strategize or plan ahead of time when you'll sell and when you'll stop so you can think twice before selling or holding it.
4340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prayer and gambling. on: September 14, 2021, 02:56:51 AM
Prayers don't work if you don't work towards achieving it and I don't think that praying and gambling is a thing that's never ever going to mix, the people who do those kind of things are just making sense and trying to remove their responsibility when it comes to gambling and losing.
Well, as you see that there really are gamblers that do mix it.

It depends on their belief and on our belief. If they think that it's going to help them, are we going to stop them? we just let them what they think is going to help them increase their chance of winning.

Agreed, and there's nothing wrong with it because it can boost your morale and faith, both of which can lead to good fortune. There are gamblers who purchase tokens or other items that they hope will bring them luck, such as a totem. They hope to find a totem that will bring them luck and boost their confidence in playing, much like praying. Though anything you do while gambling is acceptable, cheating  is not.
