You can also add MIR4. It's working relatively fine and no investments are required to start playing (f2p). Probably it's going to become one of the most popular play to earn games. However, it's a very competitive game where almost the entire map is PVP, especially the most important areas for the development of your character. Sometimes it's really annoying and stressing to have your progress delayed because the interference of another players.

if i hold 12500 fun token, after 30 days if i hold bitcoin i get 2,5+4,08% - total 6,58% profit and after 90 days 9% interest on bitcoin or no?
No. You won't get an additional interest of 2.5%.
Your interest you get now will increase by 2.5%. This means that your interest rate will be multiplied by 1.025.
So, in the case you hold 12,500 FUN tokens, after 30 days, your annual interest rate will increase to 4.182.
Yes, it will appear like this in your EARN BTC tab after 30 days:

Financial stability just means I have to respect my financial limits, never spending money I don't have or that I will miss later for emergencies.
Your definition of financial stability sounds like you are emphasizing about the importance of saving money for better future. Different people must be having different opinion and hence I just agree with you because without having enough money, we cannot think about a stable lifestyle so saving is more important to think about financial stability.

Always having some income stream to lead our  life stable could be defining what I feel financial stability should be like.
Yes, to not be able to save some money at the end of the month means the person doesn't have financial stability, so savings have a very important role in an organized financial life, that is the key for improving life quality while being responsible at same time. Maybe in some cases the individual can manage to have stability, but spending everything he earns, what means he doesn't save anything. The problem with this approach is that he won't be able to fulfill any long term goals in his life. It will be eternally "tied" without any development.
4784  Economy / Economics / Re: How is financial stability defined for you? on: November 08, 2021, 05:11:21 PM
I can have financial stability with any amount of money, even the minimum necessary to survive. Financial stability just means I have to respect my financial limits, never spending money I don't have or that I will miss later for emergencies.
 
Being responsible with your money like I mentioned, you will be able to grow your savings on long run, earning more and more money (from passive income) each new month. So you can upgrade your life standard step by step as time passes, always respecting your financial stability limits to not compromise your progress negatively. With the correct mindset and with access to the right tools (bitcoin), everyone has a chance to thrive, doesn't matter how much they make in a monthly basis.

  • There is approximately US$ 40 trillion in circulation: this includes all the physical money and the money deposited in savings and checking accounts.
  • Money in the form of investments, derivatives, and cryptocurrencies exceeds $1.3 quadrillion.
Quote
The value of all cryptocurrencies in circulation (over $2 trillion) and investment in commercial real estate ($30 trillion) also represent a small portion of the total money in the world. Bitcoin, for example, accounts for less than 1% of the world’s money.

How Much Money Is There In The World? | 2021 Edition

So I think we could say if all the money in the world was invested in crypto currency, and more specifically in bitcoin, we could say the price would grow x100, reaching to 6,600,000$ dollars. That is just my basic understanding though, taking in consideration bitcoin represents less than 1% of the world's money.

It will be interesting to find out whether Solskjaer will be allowed to continue working in the upcoming matches or whether Manchester United will really have a new coach. There are big doubts about this.
I don't think it will be interesting to guess what Man United management should do with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer position. In my opinion, he really deserves to be fired now.  Grin
It is enough to give him more chances, he seems to have no capacity to manage Man United as expected. How can Man United be defeated 0-2 at home, even Man United players made no goal. The stats look very bad for Man United, those players only made 5 shots during the match, only 1 on target. Seeing this fact, it seems something wrong with the coach in preparing the strategy.  
It looks like he isn't going to be fired yet.

Quote
Sources close to Solskjaer, 48, accept that he is vulnerable after a run of six defeats in 12 games but insist he has been told to begin preparations for the trip to Vicarage Road on Nov. 20 and that he remains confident of turning the situation around.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/manchester-united-engman_utd/story/4516373/solskjaer-to-remain-man-united-manager-after-international-break-sources

Manchester United intends to keep him at least until the end of this season. It's hard to know if the reason behind this decision is purely financial, or if there is something else. Politics also play a big role in the backgrounds of soccer industry. The public has no idea about what is going on there.
4787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Genting Casinos awarded for their safer betting standards on: November 08, 2021, 12:05:21 AM
Which casino you think should be included in the list in the future?? Did you ever try and gamble there? I was not aware of these awards and I do believe these are an amazing way to show the appreciation and to show the responsibility that a casino might take to go beyond for it's users.
I agree that the award is nice but I have to say that their post didn't provide enough information, it would've been great if there are pictures or maybe link the details on how they're able to achieve the highest level.

I've never been to their casino but if I had the chance to visit the casino i'll check it out for sure.
If their evaluation method were clearer and more explicit, more casinos could adequate themselves to the requirements asked, making the gambling environment "safer" for more gamblers. It would also propitiate an increasement in the competition among casinos for the awards. And actually I don't understand why GamCare doesn't make their points obvious, because theoretically it's from their own interest to teach and encourage the maximum number of casinos what they have to do to adopt the so called safe betting standards.
4788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Gambling increase due to the pandemic, stats, UK on: November 07, 2021, 11:36:12 PM
But what would the people do when most of us lost our jobs that's only supporting to our family and yet this pandemic is bringing chaos instead. Most people are bored, unhappy, can't go out due to the lockdown that's why the only thing that they would find entertaining is to join/play gamble online.

Pandemic is just a reason. The ones who gambled most during the time of pandemic are those employed compared to the unemployed. How come a person will gamble during the pandemic if they have no work. Where they will get the money to cover their gambling expenses?

Most people who contribute to the activeness of gambling in the UK are those who have the capability to support their gambling expenses. These persons might be got influenced by their other friends that were doing gambling regularly at home.

The fact is that there are some of them who do not work and also gamble. Money doesn't always come from work. We can get it from some unexpected side. For example in my place there are people who don't work, so they gamble with what little money they have. With that kind of thinking, it's not a solution when you don't have an income, instead you run to gambling. We really can't prevent or prevent them from gambling.
But where does that little amount of money they have come from? To have money, despite the amount, someone needs a source of income that must come from work, investments or donations. And if these people are being given free money it's a serious issue they are using this budget to gamble, as gambling is not supposed to be a basic need for an individual who doesn't have any other income.
That is the case of some gamblers where I live as well, because I see when a new month is beginning, people who receive welfare from the government goes directly to the pubs where gambling lottery and similar games are offered in order to spend that money.
4789  Economy / Economics / Re: 6 billion to solve world hunger? on: November 07, 2021, 09:48:20 PM
~
you are right, after all poverty is a matter of "mindset" not just about food
feeding all the poor people in the world will not be able to solve the problem of poverty that continues to exist in this world
mass education and also self-awareness of the person who will make the problem of poverty reduced
Poverty is not a mindset, there are people around the world that are struggling to have proper food three times a day and it is not a mindset, it is a fact. You need to identify the reason they are not coming up in life and you need to give special attention to the people who are struggling and that takes a lot of effort and time to change the situation, but setting up an amount alone will not solve global hunger.
It depends what people you are talking about. If it's a farmer's family in an african country I agree these people really need special attention, but if it's an addicted person or a pickpocket who live on the streets of a big center taking advantage of another citizens and from the society it's really a matter of mindset, because they have no fair reason to live and behave like that.

The problem is that those people who really need help are all labeled as lazy and despicable because the ones who don't deserve any help and end being totally supported by populist political agendas who seek for their votes.
4790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brazilian Congressman proposes Crypto Payment for workers on: November 07, 2021, 06:51:06 PM
Personally I like the idea of being paid in bitcoins, because I don't need to buy bitcoins to have an investment this way and feel much more incentivized to hold my coins, selling for fiat only what is necessary for daily expenses. But to pass a project like this isn't so easy as it looks, a lot of support from the society, many congressmen and even from the government is need, and I suppose Brazil lacks primary regulations over bitcoin that should be passed before this propose legalizing crypto payments for workers from all spheres, that is a lot more complex and will contradict many personal interests, including the ministry of economy.
4791  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency must adapt in schools/colleges curriculum on: November 07, 2021, 04:24:20 AM
Not only bitcoin, but financial education should be a must in every schools. Sadly I have never been taught at school anything regards this basic matter like most people around. And that is why we have a society of people going into debt, without any control over their finances, spending more than they earn.

If investments options, including bitcoin, were introduced to kids at schools through math lessons we would have a lot more people thriving financially, consequently decreasing the volume of social issues that keep increasing in alarming rates.
4792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gabling prohibited in some countries on: November 06, 2021, 08:52:19 PM
Besides religious reasons, I've also noticed some governments are using gambling addiction increasement rates during the pandemic and interest in gambling from young people to justify a ban or more severe restrictions towards gambling. There have been several news recently saying regulations on gambling ads are going to become more strict, or that taxes are going to be raised for gambling industry in different countries. Spain and Ukraine are two examples.

Authorities are really worried about the negative social consequences (mental issues, poverty) of betting platforms growing larger and stronger these days due to the wide internet global access.
4793  Economy / Economics / Firefighters pension fund invests 25$ million in crypto on: November 06, 2021, 06:47:42 PM
Highlights:

Quote
The Houston Firefighters’ Relief and Retirement Fund – which is based in Texas in the US and has $5.5bn of assets banked – said it invested $25m in Bitcoin and Ether.

Quote
“I see this as another tool to manage my risk,” said Ajit Singh, the chief investment officer for fund. “It has a positive expected return and it manages my risk. It has a low correlation to every other asset class.”

Quote
Singh said he preferred direct tokens, rather than taking on risk associated with futures-related investments.

Quote
The Houston fund handles retirement benefits for more than 6,600 active and retired firefighters and family beneficiaries. Since 2004, active firefighters have contributed 9% of their salary to the fund, with the city of Houston contributing at least twice that amount.

Red hot: Houston firefighters pension fund goes crypto

Although 25$ million represents less than 0,5% of their total funds, I think that is good news for bitcoin and ethereum enthusiasts. Serious investors help crypto currencies to grow solid and dilute volatility, what prevents deep corrections and crashes in the market. News like this should be spreaded to most people as possible, so they can also suggest crypto investments for the pension funds or investment funds in general they belong.

Do you agree news like this have a positive impact or are they indifferent in your opinion?
4794  Economy / Economics / Re: There are many online jobs out there. Crypto Opportunity. on: November 06, 2021, 05:49:43 PM
It sounds easier than it really is. I don't think there are many opportunities in crypto universe or on the internet in general. Most of what we call opportunities are scam attempts or people trying to waste our time in order to profit some pennies.

The fact is that jobs' offers are very limited and insufficient to supply all the demand for work that exist in the market. However, as the market is constantly changing and evolving, jobs spots are also in constant transformation, what propitiates the opportunity for anyone to be a pioneer in determined field, if they are "lucky" enough to find that before the masses' harassment starts, and then the spots become insufficient again.

That is why I think the real good opportunities aren't being shout from the rooftops, because once they are, they aren't an opportunity anymore. So always search for jobs in a fully opposed direction to where most people are killing themselves to achieve it. Sooner or later you will have the honor to be the early adopter of something really valuable that will reward you considerably later, just like bitcoin.

Some basic security measures could have prevented this whole situation from happening. Actually this man seems to have been so naive that it makes me imagine the possibility this assault was forged.

4796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one are You ? on: November 06, 2021, 02:39:05 PM
I think casual gambler category fits better for me. Gambling is not an essential activity in my life, what means I don't need to be constantly betting to feel satisfied, but I can enjoy it occasionally, especially if there are another people around to share the experience and talk about gambling games, what strategies they use, what teams/players they think are worth to be picked.

After reading the definition of conservative gambler from the article mentioned, I think I also include myself on that category, because the focus of this kind of gambler is the experience, while using a modest budget to play (risk aversion). For that reason it is also noticeable problematic of addicted gamblers are not among conservative gamblers, because the characteristics among these groups are totally opposite.

Thanks for sharing the article showing the different categories of gamblers.
4797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What game do you prefer in gambling? on: November 06, 2021, 02:53:36 AM
From all gambling games I used to play dice in the past more frequently, but right now slots is the kind of game which most calls my attention, although I have to be careful, otherwise I will surely end losing money I'm not afford to lose, because those games drain a gambler's bankroll really fast. And since I play only for fun, I always put my bets on minimum, spinning it manually, while hoping the winnings can at least cover the bets made.

Maybe you can explain why people like to play dice? How many times I've tried to play this game I get bored very quickly.



I mostly play slots and sometimes I manage to find an hour or two to play in a poker tournament at the weekend.

Also I like to watch broadcasts on eSports, but I haven't got to the betting yet because I don't know enough about the teams yet.
When I was firstly introduced to dice game I must confess I had the belief it was possible to play "safely" by following strategies shared by friends and at youtube videos. Then it took some time until I realized there wasn't anything like safe method to bet. Actually I think the funniest part of dice was to try the strategies until finding one that could work for real. Since it never happened, I slowly lost interest for it within time.

But sometimes I still get tempted to recover transactions fees' costs at casinos by placing some bets at dice game, so I can make the transaction "for free".

Navajo are being benefited by bitcoin indirectly, because they just profit from the rent the company pays in order to operate the mining farm inside their territory. The impact would be much more positive if the native americans were being taught to adopt bitcoin individually and directly, having access to exchanges, virtual jobs, investments and any other kind of crypto related site. This way each Navajo could chart their own path in crypto universe, without having to wait for the good will or success of third party companies to get some pennies from that.

See "Rollbits"

They created NFTs and the owner NFTs get a few benefits like Rakeback from the platform, the higher rarity of NFTs more reward you can get. Some typical NFTs like Cars, Horse, Dog Race could be category as gamble while you need to pay some token/money to enter the race.
They have interesting features in mind:

Quote
NFTS WITH BROAD UTILITY FROM DAY 1!
Rollbots provide special privileges such as:

  • the ability to create your own Rollboxes,
  • profit sharing from all revenue generated by a portfolio of new Rollbot-themed games,
  • access to an exclusive Rollbot Lottery, where Rollbot holders perpetually earn tickets for our weekly draws,
  • an enhanced reward program for your Rollbit casino & trading account.

As I see, the introduction of NFTs in gambling industry could work as the evolution of casino bankroll investments. But instead of depositing money to generate passive income from it, you purchase a NFT that will ensure you have access to profitable premium features inside the platform. The idea is really good, but we need to see how it will work in practice.
