461  Economy / Economics / Re: Europe not good for business now Dubai safe heaven on: June 23, 2024, 12:34:13 PM
Absolutely, Dubai is becoming a go-to spot for financial activities, especially for those in newer industries like cryptocurrencies. And besides the business perks, Dubai also offers a fantastic lifestyle and plenty of networking opportunities.

Dubai is a playground, business deals are definitely completed there and it is home to many millionaires - but it is still a very fake country. No big businesses are going there to setup their main headquarters and store money within the reach of the UAE authorities. The mindset has shifted slowly, but there is no getting second citizenship in Dubai, you will always be an outsider unless you were born their and their citizens get a lot of perks thanks to this. It has a very biased and heavily religious influenced legal system which is not acceptable for most mega scale business dealings. If you go into debt in Dubai, you will be jailed until you pay it off, this is not a normal practice in most other advanced economies.
That is very true, the Dubai is actually a designated business layout which attracts investors and traders to its ground but it does not feel that good relaxations like most civilized countries due to their religious practices and non citizens restrictions.
There are also verses by which strangers anchors with fear in the environs just as you said, they are being biased and most concerned of their citizens.
462  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on political events on: June 23, 2024, 08:59:55 AM
Here I propose to discuss all political events in all countries on which bets are placed, and not just political events in the United States.
I do not think this is necessary. Most of the bookies on this forum will not have more than common political betting than the well developed country ones like the United States presidential election. Most of the betting sites that has other political events that are not United State are local betting sites. Local betting sites do have this for their country but in a way people from other countries that can not access the local betting sites can not bet on the political event (like election) that is happening in another country. This does not worth it.
The OP almost own my support but you were able to convince me after which putting lot of factors in considerations.
The United States electoral events are prominent and generally recognized with the influential possessions of other geopolitical and geographical regions while some other countries political events can be said to be weak with poor interest of foreigners towards the events due to the local factor terms effect which would only reign within its specificied geographical zone or neighborhood.

Even, let us imagine some undeveloped countries which other foreigners may not have heard of in the past, definitely their political events or activities may not have interested contents enough to attract such world wide influence as the United States electoral events would be.

So considering all that for gambling international discussion, it would not be comfortable because international bookies might not be able to carry on the political event updates due to lack of interests of the local regions except for local bookies and it would still be uneasy for such a local region electoral events to be discussed in this international forum .
463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Quit the doubt, it's not too late for Bitcoin investment. on: June 23, 2024, 07:08:44 AM
OP can I tell you that I am the one who took the best step and not the miners? Lol.
The miners are actually like external bodies of the developers of Bitcoin but do not need to be convinced because they have the technical ideal of how possible Bitcoin creation could be actualized to reality utilization while I am obviously not associated with any of it and needed to be convinced by those who are already into the system and then will have to think otherwise in both positive and negative before making my decision until I accepted Bitcoin even though I was late.

I heard of Bitcoin around 10 years ago and just last year I embraced the technology. Sometimes I found myself to be blamed why I was so late but I came to understand that my emotions needed to be balanced so that I can be able to handle the risks involved in the financial technology while understanding that Bitcoin is a volatile currency.
So, others who are still in doubt of Bitcoin also needed such time to balance their emotions while on the rhythm contemplating their decisions and interests on the Bitcoin.

Moreover, Bitcoin is not a centralized system that the government as the authorities may say that... From hence forth, this is the acceptable financial system that everyone should embrace instead Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that leaves everyone a self decision to decision what their intake is about the currency so, let us not find those who could not invest or accept Bitcoin as alternative means of payments to be lost in the digital era ed maybe today. It just all about choice.

When to invest and when to sell all depends on the investors and individuals and it doesn't matter what we used the funds for. Those who fears holding at the Dip are literally investors who do not understand what it means Holding and Buying at the Dip and if they do, they would always take chances to explore more to their assets while the ATH ahead proves the rewards.
464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: June 22, 2024, 11:01:17 AM
A gambling expert brought i and some friends a guaranteed predicted game and asked us to stake a a high amount so that we winning could be huge and so we can give him a percentage of the money at winning.

I don't believe there could be a 100% guaranteed game but yet my friends who are eager to make profits in the gambling accepted to play the gamed as instructed and at the end of it, they all loosed the game and at then, the rest of us were happy because we didn't play the game else we would had loosed as others.

I want to ask, do you believe in experts gambling predictions?



I understand what you are talking about. It depends what you mean by “believe” in this case. Let's say I believe that this is an expert, I believe that his opinion is based not on guesswork but on specific numbers and results, I understand that he carefully analyzes games and has extensive experience in this matter. But I DO NOT BELIEVE that all the information and all the forecasts he gives will be 100% correct. It is simply impossible to absolutely correctly predict the outcome of a match; one right/wrong move by a player can always change the outcome of the match. When an expert gives his forecast or simply expresses his opinion regarding the result, this is one thing, but when he says that he will be absolutely right and the match will end exactly as he said, then you should not listen to such an expert. A professional will never give you guarantees or promise anything.
You can listen to different experts, but you have to make a decision yourself, just as we bear responsibility for our actions.
Exactly. A professional gambler can only be paraded that possibly or impossibly, forecasted games may play based on experiences on the predictions but should not have that 100% assurance that the game would play as predicted.

Your experiences in gambling can only shade you the algorithm to approach closely to winning but does not imply guarantee that you are at the topnotch by which whatever your predictions maybe will be unfailingly.
465  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do the newbies gain the highily professional knowledge in the forum on: June 22, 2024, 08:07:50 AM
I have been across newbie ranks with great intellectual exploitation in the forum like they have been here for long now. What is the secret behind their knowledge on considering the high level of their contributions in the forum? Does it mean they have the knowledges before joining the forum? Or are they bot accounts?
I am just curious as a beginner. Thank you all.
Newbies can sometimes be new in the forum but not new already about bitcoin. They might be exposed with bitcoin before that’s why they were aware already on its own feature and how it should be utilized at its maximum level. But engaging in the forum despite of its rank or position has certainly add more new information and insights to his stock knowledge about bitcoin, the reason why it’s easy for them to come up with intelligent answers since bitcoin itself is not new anymore to them.
Yes, can be new in the forum but has achieved maximum knowledges and has experienced UPs and DOWNs in their Bitcoin journey.

So of such new ranked members as OP may have emphasized lately joined this forum meanwhile... There may have been an existed platform which they may have belonged in the past before coming here.
So it will always be easy for them to flow with those Bitcoin and Crytop discussions in both technicalities and the mere investments.

So such users might may have their most difficulties basically to understand the terms of how thie bitcointalk forum works since they are just new to the system but practically they have expanded knowledges in Crypto related matters.

467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Haney-Garcia Decision Out: Betting Implications on: June 21, 2024, 01:29:28 PM
Affirmatively, your bet was retrieved as a result of technical issues being computational system error which lucky for you all that the site engineers and the gambling site owner agreed that there was such an error while you processes your bets

So it was as able to be undo due to error transparency.
But it's about bettors requesting for retrieval or undo to their bets, that would absolutely be impossible because it has been stamped and officially approved in the system.
And if I am not mistaking, all casinos do obviously states it that there is no revert if a game has been confirmed processed.

So, the need for such bettors would be invalid so, just pray that it goes to your favour as your predicted. Hence, there will always be lost and losers amongst bettors betting at the opposites. 
468  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Does P2P BTC Exchange Work Here? on: June 21, 2024, 11:51:57 AM
If it does, how is it done? If it doesn't, why not. I have some BTC to exchange for NGN. Can I be guided?
Most definitely it does OP, you can transact your Bitcoin to naira on the centralized exchange with the P2P features but you must understand that lot of centralized exchanges like that has disabled naira on the P2P so before you proceed with the intentions of this transaction, make sure you diligently access the exchange features if they do allows naira P2P.

@Charles-Tim I think this is one of the necessity for the thread I created in few week ago when you got me questioned.
So irrespective that no Centralized exchange has delisted naira on its P2P feature at the current time I made the thread, there is still need to be observant while we tends to trade our assets with the Centralized exchanges. Hence we know that there are newbie's coming onboard.

Obviously if this inexperienced Investor is not told about it, definitely he/she is going to fall victim to that.

Which crypto exchanges remove naira from P2P recently that makes you come up with this thread? All the exchanges that are having crypto/naira P2P that I know are still having it aside the ones that we have discussed about in the past and which Kucoin was the last that we discussed about after Binance and OKX. Recently, among the exchanges that still have naira P2P, none of them removed naira from their P2P and Nigerians are trading there. Or what did you mean as scrapped?
No one has been according to your question and I came up with the thread because beginners who came or that may come ahead of time without the knowledge that lot of Centralized exchange has delisted naira P2P feature from their platforms can be victim to this.

Also as much even some of investors whom have been into the industry for times now without having comprehensive details of the affected exchanges can also be victims in believing that the only exchange being affected is the ones to their notice.
So it should be regarded not effortlessly to always have that accessible before proceeding to fund a centralized exchange for P2P trading.

Moreover, our selfish governments never cares about how such action or immediate effect of cutting naira off from the exchange could affect its citizens in as much they don't let us know that such action would be carried in a specific people of time.  I mean we are never notified before such removal of naira on the P2Ps. Although it has formally been but now has become a norms that we can just wake up one morning and find out comfort exchange being affected.

So, the surveillance seems necessary at all course to avoid "Had I Know".
469  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gambling therapy on: June 21, 2024, 10:49:18 AM
Considering to get connected to gambling therapist is best a physical connection and not online especially when  you are going out of bounds with your gambling responsibilities because the physical connection would enable your mentality to a more conducive psychological response.

One question we need to ask is... How do we even know if we are gambling responsibly because looking at it by self judgement, we are all responsible gamblers whether addicted or not. If by conscience, we are all gambling responsibly whole those who are negatively affected would only find something wrong with their gambling habits on the side that they have been loosing more than winning and yet still think they are responsible.

So, I am in support that at any certainty or uncertainty with our gambling lives, consulting a therapy would be necessary.
At least believe it that you think you are doing it well while you are not and only a therapist can define you best on that.
470  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bitcoin is becoming a center-stage issue in US elections on: June 21, 2024, 10:03:39 AM
To my sincerity, Trump's is really hiding behind Bitcoin because most of his holding on his campaigns has been around a global economy which is basically it Bitcoin entitlements.

He as actually been speaking about Bitcoin within this election campaigns more than any other time in his life. Although believably during election times like that politicians comes up with new dialoguing systems amongst the masses just for accumulate voting powers and of course Trump's has been playing that path on Bitcoin and he is already winning the peoples mind which crypto enthusiasts are already warming up to give him their votes.

It literally does not matter where it the Trump is hiding behind Bitcoin or Crypto at large at his trial. In electoral races like this, political contestants must always have to lean on the majority of the must be voted and Trump's has been on the promising side to win with the crypto enthusiasts.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recording gambling activities on: June 20, 2024, 09:13:33 PM
At any accounts, being consistent in gambling would always lost you more that winning and that is why we always have to bet with affordable amount so that when it gets lost we don't have to go over and recount all of it and regret at its end.

If gamblers can stipulate a gambling budget based on their incomes, there would definitely be no need for keep historical gambling records unless it has become to affect your savings.

And if it is just about loosing more than winning but not affecting our incomes and savings, then the need for review would only be valid to just keep that memory and not to readjust our gambling habits hence we are comfortable anr not addicted to gambling.
472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm happy I can finally say something about bitcoin. on: June 20, 2024, 11:09:09 AM
You did well to had said things about Bitcoin but all being said is as you narrated the history and development of Bitcoin.
The title of your thread would had been best to say you have now understood what Bitcoin is about because I was actually expecting you to say something unique or you are testifying on your experiences encountered on Bitcoin.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Max Win is the worst thing that could happen to you. on: June 20, 2024, 05:26:25 AM
Another question is that... Is it all the casinos that does do KYCs? Whether YES or NO, gamblers are expected to abide to the casino rules because it is a firm with its policies that no one is expected to ignore and your tendencies of trying to skip off the process would be suspicious of you hiding your identity for an unproval activities such as cheat or sorts of crimes.

So if you could win a huge amount before updating your KYC as been earlier on demanded, then you will need to pass through hell processes to clear yourself out due to your time wasted.
474  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency should be insured and supported by goverment on: June 20, 2024, 12:31:34 AM
I might be right or wrong if I have to say that I understood the OP and this is my way of understanding the thread...
Exchange which is centralized and has been much avenues of crypto enthusiasts loosing their foods due to the transparency of the  exchanges features couples with the fact that crypto asset owners are not fully in charge of their funds unlike the decentralized exchanges.

So it is very crucial for the wallets and crypto project developers to be reputable in minimizing risks of asset losts in its processes.

It is all about being integrified but OP, crypto currencies are decentralized digital developments which the governments does not have the controlling capacities up to having alignments directly with the cryptocurrencies or even to determine the crypto market price.

To me, where the government has a point which is actually limited is at the centralized exchanges because the centralized exchange is a consumption of associating trending transactions with the fiats which is in the control or the governments.
475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever won any significant amount from free spins? on: June 19, 2024, 03:12:52 PM
Honestly if you have been able to win even as that little, believe me when I say that you are lucky and far ahead many players like me because I have been free spinning for a very long time time but have been so luck like you are.
This was to an extend I begin to believe that there is no means of winning that is even programed in the free spinning otherwise it is just a free game or a demo of advertising a particular casino game.

Although this feelings is as a result of my unluckiness not to had won not even for once but yet I have heard of players testifying their winnings.
I may agree with you OP that the free spinning game might be configured in a way that players would not win huge amount but yet there are possibilities to win far bigger to than we might think.
476  Economy / Speculation / Re: Out of prides, investors endangers themselves. on: June 19, 2024, 11:25:17 AM
I think this my newly investor friend was out of pride and just wanted to make this other guy feel regret but does not know the dangerous implications he has just made upon himself and his Bitcoin assets.
It is unfortunate for investors who lives this life of proving themselves to people just to make them believe on their investment.
We don't know if he did what he did out of pride or by sheer attitude of trying to convince the doubting friend about bitcoin with a proven evidence directly from his wallet. One thing is here is certain, you didn't preach to him about privacy with bitcoin and how important not to comprise on it.

While we brush people up about how profitable bitcoin can be to them if they invest long we should with that approach enlighten them too on the tenets of how to safeguard their investment from public notice because privacy is peace.  The more people don't know about your finances the more peaceful and secure live becomes for you.
How can you be uncertain to decode if the Investor did that out of pride but you are certain that i did not teach him of the security aspects?
You just made felt like you were there when it all happened.

Does it mean that whatever mistakes a student does is as a result of the teacher no teaching the student appropriately?
Well, if you wish to know, I as an older Investor before this guy in question, I have made numerous mistakes on my Bitcoin investment even when my investment mentor has thought me all of it but yet I went contrarily.

So, count me out of this investors particular mistake because I am aware that talking to newbies about the Privacy and security factors including the volatility potentials of Bitcoin is an essential and primary focus by which the experienced investors are to spread across the beginners so, I never underrated this very fact at when bringing this guy up to this Bitcoin industry.

If you also read me correctly, I said "I think" it was out of pride and looking at it, aside pride I don't think any valid reason why the guy would expose his wallet to the other guy knowing very well that it is about money which is assumed you are telling someone how much money you have in your bank account.
If such such case is not of business transactions, then it is of pride with out of ignorance, such act portrays potential risks.
477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake did it again! Another huge losing bet... on: June 19, 2024, 08:21:04 AM
I have really made up my mind to accept Drake as gambler who looses a lot and also wins at times but my mind has not no criticism on his looses in gambling because he can really afford it.

I think it is even high time the media should overlook this guys gambling life because there are other whose gambling life is worth concentrating on for discussion such as those gambling and utilizing there winnings which is encouraging and those who looses and being affected on their bankrolls which is discouraging.

I can imagine how the media and not even any of you cares about monitoring my gambling life which I believe is because I gamble with just little amount of money which may not be a global attractive like the Drakes.

So to me, Drake is living his life and we do not know if we should say he is just an addicted gambler or a risky gambler but until then he airs out this emotions then his gambling life would be Worth call for discussion as much as he keep gambling.

The media is one of the major invention bridging peace to the world, sabotaging and inciting criticisms in the society..
It is just hard to believe which is right and which is wrong when two media sites carries a particular news but with different contents of information.

I have really come to understand the concept of the disreputable media to be that whenever they want to drag public attentions, they would always indulge on designing fake news with a psychological understanding that the people of the society are more interested to hear negative rumours which maybe lies than the positive which maybe the truths.

I myself thought as much how the two able influential men could say such. It could disagree that it was all manipulated bunch of fake news just as said, fake site.
479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What category would you classify such bettor? on: June 18, 2024, 07:43:39 PM
In as much as we do not know the bettors mind, i can not judge him to say he is greedy but instead I will say that he is a risk bearer in gambling.

Yes and sometimes I go so far to pick games with the highest odds while criticizing myself like... How do you think this highily risk game is going to play? Then I still say to myself that... I am literally out to pick this as a challenge so if it plays, I win and if it does not, I loose.

And because I understand the game is almost 99% impossible to play, I always bet it with a very little amount so that I can just laugh over it after the game fails.
And when it plays, I don't only profit little as my betted amount knowing that if it plays then I am cashing out bigly  due to the high odds.

So to me, the better is just a risk bearer and not greedy.
480  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump's big promises on: June 18, 2024, 01:32:36 PM
My question is.... Does he really care that much that much and can he be able to fulfill all that social and media promises he is been speculating?
Well, we can't access the depths of his inner-being to know with assurance how much he really cares about what he promises and defends, but if I could make I guess, I would say he doesn't care at all, since it's all about saying what he has to say to conquer what he desires to conquer. We live in the era of moral relativism, which is dominated by sophists. For these people truth doesn't matter, rather what matters is to convince people anything can be true, depending what is more interesting to them on the present moment.

Politicians act lead by this guideline. What is true for him today, might not be tomorrow anymore.

Moreover, of course he isn't going to fulfill these promises he is sharing on social medias right now, because it doesn't depend fully on one individual to become reality. There is a legislative house approving and disapproving laws and regulations. There is a judiciary system which exercises high influence over the other levels of power (legislative and executive). There is a media enforcing its agendas as well.

Lots of personal interests are involved on the process of ruling a country, and all these interests are infected by moral relativism, where each individual wants his necessities supplied, without caring at all about others who are around. Therefore you can be assured that a politican making such promises is very naive or is very elusive and manipulative. As we know Trump isn't naive in anyways, I guess he must belong to the second category then...
It is al fact of personal interest in politics which you have just been outlined. So the politicians would always say whatever they want think they can just to convince the people by airing empty promises just to buy favour from the masses.

Actually the reason why politicians and the medias lies mostly is because the masses are not interested to hear the truth but want to hear what they wanted.
This became the origin of politicians with impossible promises even when knowing that even if they gets into power, there are legislated jurisdiction superceding the executive power and whatever implementation by the executive order has to be approved by a senatorial body that is to so .... Even when it Trump's might really mean to execute all those promises, he will need to pass through legislative law and if it is not approved then it all becomes impossible for him to fulfill his promises.
