That's true because a casino is a business run by a casino owner and his team. They definitely don't want to see what they've made unprofitable because of the AI. They will find ways to keep gamblers from winning, and casinos will also use AI technology to keep making profits. And it will be such a competition between the AI of gamblers and the AI of the casino that the gambling business will probably be even more advanced from now on. We can only play gambling as usual and hope we can win some money in a few rounds.
gambler AI competition with gambling AI? Cheesy
a little ridiculous but this is not what I mean but every casino has a security system and they will always improve the security system by all means to avoid any loss on the gambling platform.
so that there is no competition between gamblers and gambling owners, it's just that gambling has an obligation to continue to improve system security.

so there is no other way even though AI is continuously developed but still casinos always have stronger and smarter security.
Your outlook seems to lack depth. There's an unmistakable standoff between the AI for punters and the protective AI of casinos. In this digital duel, the punters' AI, perpetually pushing boundaries, incentivizes casinos to fortify their defenses.

Claiming casinos will forever have superior security might be overstating. The relentless evolution of AI can challenge even the most fortified casino safeguards. The explosive growth rate of AI leaves even the sharpest among us struggling to keep pace.

Hence, theres a riveting rivalry, albeit subtle, between the punter' AI and the casino' AI, making this a captivating technological tussle rather than one-sided evolution.

If it is said who will surpass Ronaldo's achievements in scoring goals, I have two player options, namely Mbappe and also Haaland.

Mbappe? Maybe. But Håland? I am not sure. His drawback is that he plays for a team that almost never qualifies for major tournaments. So obviously the number of matches get reduced. In case of Mbappe, he plays for a very talented team and the position in the starting XI is not always guaranteed in the long term future. Ronaldo had everything going for him. He played for a comparatively strong team, and he was guaranteed of a position in the XI. And the bets part is that he may continue playing for Portugal for a couple of years more.

Haaland has 24 goals scored in 25 games for the national team. If he maintains such a fantastic scoring he could overtake Ronaldo with even fewer games. Moreover, taking into account the fact that there are more games of national teams and competition in garbage tournaments such as the League of Nations is low, he will have many opportunities.
Your viewpoint on Haaland surpassing Ronaldo has merit, but there's a broader game at play. The footballing arena has evolved, with a cramped calendar due to FIFA and UEFA upping their tournament game. More chances to shine, but it also dials up burnout and injury threats. As for UEFA' Nations League, I have reservations. Given the existing Euro Cup, doesnt this feel like unnecessary garnish on an already frosted cake? This burden of added fixtures may stymie Haaland's progression rather than boost it.

Apart from looking for new players to strengthen their squad, the 2023 summer transfer market will also be used by Real Madrid to find a new coach. The harmonious relationship that exists between Real Madrid and Ancelotti will end soon after the coach has agreed to coach the Brazilian national team, the 2023-2024 season will be the last season for Ancelotti to coach Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is busy looking for a new coach who can replace Ancelotti, Perez as president of Real Madrid already has three names to be appointed as the new coach of Real Madrid. Zidane, Mourinho and Xabi Alonso are candidates to succeed Ancelotti.

The three names chosen by Perez are highly qualified to replace Ancelotti, Zidane and Mourinho are great coaches and have won various titles. Meanwhile, Xavi Alonso played a great role in boosting Leverkusen performance in the 2022-2023 season. Coincidentally, Alonso contract with Bayer Leverkusen also expires at the end of the 2023-2024 season, so Real Madrid can bring in Alonso for free.


Perez eyeing Zidane, Mourinho, and Xabi for the forthcoming coaching void at Real Madrid is strategic, yet doesnt it feel like déjà vu? Shouldn't we consider new blood given the cutting-edge tactics by rising coaches from lower leagues?

Indeed, Zidane and Mourinho’ stellar records and Alonso’ noteworthy leadership at Bayer Leverkusen are commendable. But, arent we squandering a chance to scout beyond these usual suspects and back youthful, possibly game-changing coaching stars?

Just imagine how we need to change the system of health care and society so that we can identify psychological problems at an early stage, because most people will never admit that they have any problems on a psychological level, although very many people have such problems to a greater or lesser extent.

In my opinion in order to do that we would have to introduce stricter control over each of us, and no one would like that, so society will never get rid of inadequate behavior of a certain percentage of people. We'll just have to accept it and be more attentive to our children and loved ones to protect our families from it.   
While a more adequate treatment for those which suffer from a condition that is mostly on their minds would be great, the price we will have to pay as a society is too high, after all in these days in which people are connected with each other all the time and they share almost anything too, the only time they do not do so is when they are alone with their thoughts, if people were also forced to share whatever little private thoughts they have left they will surely complain about it and any reform on this regard will be quickly suppressed.

 A good alternative remedy is not to let those who you love to stay alone.

If you will take some time to spend with them, the chance that they will divert some of their attentions and that will help
them to speak about something. Though there are people who are not vocal but the companionship will allow them to
lose focus on what they are doing. It helps not to let them getting addicted.
This was once a failed experiment to me, we've done it before for a family friend that got addicted to gambling and things look better and I personally spend a week with this fella just to make sure he won't be alone, I thought him few other things that can keep him busy and make money in the process, but after several months he went back into gambling, my point is when are you not going to leave them?

There will be a time where they will be alone, the best way to beat gambling adddict is if the gambler is willing to beat the addict himself, they need to put in the work themselves, and that's when the chains of addiction will break finally.

If you are the only one that has the mind to save a gambling addict from addiction, you have alreday failed before you begin.
I understand your perspective. Its frustrating when efforts to help someone seemingly vanish into thin air. However, I don't agree with your assertion that the helper is predestined to fail if they're the only ones interested in the recovery. Its true that the afflicted must want to overcome their addiction, but the support from their network can sometimes trigger that desire. Your case with your family friend might have been unsuccessful, but this doesnt represent every case. Relapse is part of recovery, and it shouldnt be seen as a total failure

It seems that it doesn't really matter how and in what way they take the penalty kick, because what matters is whether they score a penalty kick or miss it. Because, even though they do it in a standard way or don't have strange movements before kicking, but if they fail in the end the player is said to be bad because he failed to score a goal from the penalty spot. So yes, I personally don't really mind their style because after all, in the video the result is successful and not failed.

Lewandowski has a decent amount of failed penalty attempts, but efficiency isn't the issue. The fact is that it looks like cheating - for some reason, the goalkeeper does not have the right to take a single step forward before hitting and is generally limited in rights as much as possible, and the attacker can jump as much as he wants, stop even after he has run up. It would be good to somehow equalize their rights - either forbid the attacker to slow down, or allow the goalkeeper to run out from the goal ribbon (reducing the angle of shott and significantly increasing their chances) - in this case, the attacker would strike at the highest possible speed.
I get why penalty masters like Lewandowski, with their elaborate techniques, might rub you the wrong way. The jumping jacks and freeze-frames smack of video game antics, right?

Meanwhile, goalies are hemmed in by strict rules, curtailing their action. The imbalance is stark. However, delineating 'usual speed' or 'excessive pause' in the run-up can be controversial, reminiscent of handball disputes. Football authorities need to confront these matters for the spirit of fair play.
4846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: June 23, 2023, 08:17:51 AM

it's true that with ronaldo playing in the arab league a lot has changed, the press started to talk a lot about the arab league, people started to follow the arab league games and now it's not just ronaldo's team that wants to have good players, the other teams are also making an effort to hire the best players, but I saw on tv in my country that neymar wants to return to barcelona but that for that to happen he would have to lower his salary a lot, but in my opinion neymar na he will go back to barcelona, ideally for neymar and go to play in saudi arabia because in europe he is always injured and involved in controversies, and he is the type of player that coaches get headaches
Ronaldo presence in the Arab league has significantly changed the way that people view and are interested in the league. More people are now watching games in the Arab league as a result of increased media coverage. No longer is Ronaldo team the only one vying for elite players other teams are also working to bolster their rosters. While there have been rumours that Neymar wants to return to Barcelona qit seems unlikely that he would be prepared to accept a pay cut that would make that happen. Given his injury history and contentious image in Europe it is possible that Neymar will investigate alternative choices including playing in Saudi Arabia.
Undoubtedly, Ronaldo presence in the Arab league has resulted in a number of beneficial developments. Due to his influence the league has attracted more media coverage and fans. Now that other organisations are encouraged to sign top players, healthy competition is promoted. Arab leagues have a chance to entice great players while Neymar's prospective return to Barcelona is questionable. The desire to bolster their lineup is indicated by the rumours that Ronaldo side is interested in Carvalho and Brozovic. A bright and profitable future for Arab teams depends on them continuing to develop a competitive league to draw in and develop talent as Messi departure to the United States offers up new opportunities.
Ronaldo's addition to the Arab league is a game-changer, spotlighting the league and enhancing its media magnetism. It's sparked a domino effect, with teams hunting top-tier players, upping the ante. Neymar's Barcelona status uncertainties may nudge star talent towards the Arab leagues. The news of Ronaldo's team courting Carvalho and Brozovic suggests a muscle-up mission. With Messi pivoting to the U.S, a surge of opportunities could hit Arab shores.
4847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - Asset Or Currency? on: June 23, 2023, 07:03:03 AM
It's surely going to be an asset for sure. Personally, I really think that Bitcoin is an asset I just can't see Bitcoin as a digital currency just because of its nature of volatile market price. Seeing Bitcoin with a volatile market price it's really difficult for it to be a currency that we can use in our daily transactions, volatile market price just means that you need to adjust every time you're going to make a transaction. And there are also a lot of things that you need to consider if you're going to use Bitcoin like on a business etc.

Bitcoin adapts really quickly I think in the future it's always possible that it can adapt as a currency as well but for not even though it is adapted like what EL Salvador did it is still not complete and cannot fully operate like a fiat currency that we are using today. We all invest on Bitcoin because it is an investment in which we could make profit so it is an Asset for most of the investors.
While your viewpoint about Bitcoin's nature as an asset due to its volatile market price is understandable, it's important to recognize that volatility isn't inherently a negative feature. Yes, the value of Bitcoin fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, but this can be seen as an opportunity rather than a setback.

Consider traditional currencies. They are constantly adjusting against each other too, albeit at a much slower rate. The rate of currency exchange changes daily. Bitcoin merely takes this aspect and amplifies it.

Your perspective on Bitcoin as incomplete for use as a fiat currency, like what El Salvador did, is also understandable. However, consider that all technologies were incomplete when they first came into existence. Fiat currency itself underwent several changes before becoming what we use today. As the world adapts to Bitcoin, it's reasonable to expect that Bitcoin will evolve too.
4848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Without money, the knowledge is a waste on: June 23, 2023, 06:42:37 AM
this thought is all wrong, first and most precious and important is knowledge and then comes money, only with knowledge and that the person will be able to do something that will allow him to get money a great and concrete example of this is the following:

in real life first all people study in school to have knowledge, after they manage to get knowledge in school people start looking for jobs, after people get jobs and at the end of the month people receive salary, people bought bitcoin to invest and have more money. even in the case of a rich person, that person will first send his son to school, after the son studies hard and completes school and the rich father will give him money to invest in some business, this cycle will not change because it is a world standard . knowledge is the most important thing in the world

take a good look at this whole cycle I mentioned, it is not possible to skip this cycle and the person manages to do well in life, that is, it is not possible for the person not to go to school, not to know how to read and write and to do well in life. a person who does not have a good command of economics, trade, does not want to know anything about investments first before buying bitcoin, will not be able to take 100% of the great advantage that this market can offer, will not be able to have a good investment strategy, this is a great and very important fact. knowledge always comes first and money always comes second
Your notion of knowledge trumping money rings true in scholarly circles, where enlightenment is important. Yet, we cant disregard capital' crucial role in gaining and employing knowledge. Funding shapes research's breadth and depth. While the conventional cycle of learning, job, and wealth creation is well-established, let's remember it only thrives where education is both affordable and attainable—a luxury beyond many's grasp, despite the universal hunger for wealth.

Enter Bitcoin. It has rewritten our financial rulebook. No need for a PhD in economics or investing acumen to profit from Bitcoin - just grasp its potential, its fluctuations, and possess some good fortune. Investing in Bitcoin involves learning, although it breaks traditional molds.

True, Bitcoin was a golden goose many didnt catch, and FOMO can taint our thinking. Institutional investors like BlackRock joining the bandwagon lends Bitcoin legitimacy, but bear in mind, crypto swings wildly, and even big players can't promise a boom.

Bitcoin doesnt behave like ordinary company stock. It's a protocol, think digital gold, untethered to company profits. Its "mined", with its value tied to supply and demand, akin to gold.

Before you invest big, I strongly advise understanding more about blockchain tech and its revolutionary promise. Investing in crypto isnt just chasing quick profits - its also championing a decentralized financial dawn
4850  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We the Bitcoin Enthusiasts, How can we Safequard our Holdings in Turbulent Times on: June 23, 2023, 05:59:15 AM
It is the best practice to close everything and keep your assets safe in your hand before things get bad. If you keep your assets to yourself, you can continue your journey again when things start to get better. But if the situation goes south, you will be in a position where you will not be able to do anything but just watch it go away in front of your eyes.
So never keep your assets in any centralized platforms. Either it is Binance or other platforms. Use them when necessary and after that, move them to your personal wallet. No one knows what will happen and when. And as long as your assets are in your control, you can use them as you want later on. This kind of thing happens every now and then in the market. But the impact is temporary. Stick to the right coin and keep them safe to yourself. In the long run, you will be safe.
Noticed your comment, casting a dark cloud, arent we? Admittedly, personal asset control is wise, but dont dismiss the fact that elite exchanges like Binance offer fortress-level security. Hackers won't get a free pass, I assure

Crypto isnt solely about asset clutching—it's also about trading, liquidity. Exchanges present expansive markets, superior liquidity. Its about equilibrium. Stockpiling solely in personal wallets could stifle quick market responses.

'The right coin', you point out? The crypto space is a sprawling universe, each coin with its promise. Bitcoin is a heavyweight, but it doesnt monopolize the ring. Maintain a flexible mindset
4851  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are giving too much importance to exchanges on: June 23, 2023, 05:41:49 AM
I think cryptocurrencies are not decentralized, only a few are decentralized, and the rest are centralized. Decentralized exchanges have existed for a long time, but so far, it has not been able to compete with centralized exchanges for several reasons. And I also don't believe in the future, it can replace CEXs, very unlikely. Although many people will not like this, but CEX will never completely disappear, if Binance collapses, there will be one and many others to replace it. This is an area that makes a lot of money, I don't think people will ignore it.

Exactly. I'd say 99% of cryptocurrencies are centralized, while only a small few are truly decentralized. It's all about money these days, so exchanges will list coins that will bring the most profits (even if they're utterly-centralized). This is sad because it strips away crypto's original purpose of eliminating the middleman for good. Even ETH became centralized with the PoS upgrade. It's going to get worse if developers successfully increase the minimum ETH for staking from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH. The number of DEXs are also declining, as CEXs are taking over the whole industry.

It's not that people are giving importance to exchanges, but rather VCs and institutional investors alike. Crypto is now in the hands of Wall Street. Centralization will go on top of everything else just to satisfy the government. There's been renewed interest into crypto from institutional investors, so market prices will only go up in the future. Who knows how far BTC will go? Just my thoughts Grin
Crypto-world is indeed flooded with centralized altcoins, isnt it? These newbies, clamoring for exchange stardom, ironically stray from crypto's original intent. Bitcoin, our founding father, aimed to bypass financial middlemen. But it seems that fresh coins care more about market monopoly and profits than preserving Satoshi's dream.

Even Ethereum's switch to Proof of Stake (PoS) has drawn flak, with fears that raising the staking minimum from 32 to 2048 ETH will concentrate power. The ascent of Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) over Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) stirs debate. Yet, I contest its a sign of cryptos demise. Remember, Bitcoin, the decentralization lighthouse, still rules. Its soaring value could usher in more decentralized offshoots.
4852  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - how low will we go in 2023? on: June 23, 2023, 05:19:40 AM
I bought the other day and we have seen yet another crash since then it feels like there is so much bad news and FUD at the moment.

I feel like having a break as I am starting to feel we could go close to the lows of last year, not sure if we will go that low but could go close so thinking of waiting until we see at least another 10% drop to buy more.

How is everyone else feeling?

If individuals, including yourself, refrain from selling their Bitcoin holdings, it could potentially prevent further downward movement in its price. However, it is important to be aware of certain factors before investing in Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency market is highly influenced by news events, whether they are positive or negative, and these events can have a significant impact on market dynamics.

One thing you should know about the Bitcoin market is to buy your bags and hold the ones you are capable of holding, the halving is already less than a year away, you will make money out of this, and don't buy into FUD, particularly now that Bitcoin is weak on the chart from MACD view and low volume, the SEC is also attempting to fight it using Coinbase and Binance US, but we all know that Bitcoin always wins, be positive about Bitcoin.
Your insight into HODLing's sway on Bitcoin is great. Singular acts might seem insignificant, but together, they form a bulwark against bearish trends—it's 'Unity in Strength' in the financial sphere. Agreeing with you on external factors, market sentiment waltzes to the rhythm of news and regulatory developments. It's an absorbing dance of data and conjecture that we, as traders, must observe keenly.

Your bright outlook on the impending halving event is invigorating! I second your view that a savvy 'Buy and Hold' approach could be a cash cow. As for regulatory hurdles, Bitcoin is a stalwart system, designed to brave tempests. Regardless of MACD signals, I'd contend these are fleeting ripples in the broader perspective. We're strategizing for the long haul, right? As for the SEC, their bids to restrain the freedom of crypto giants like Bitcoin have merely fanned its popularity and tenacity. I foresee a radiant future for Bitcoin

Many countries' governments have not legalized Bitcoin yet. But even if Bitcoin is not legalized, Bitcoin is used in almost all countries. Bitcoin has gained massive influence.  Many people have become self-sufficient by investing in Bitcoin. Although there are risks in investing, people are now interested in investing instead of saving in banks because of good returns. I love Bitcoin so much because of the potential for good returns on investing in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin indeed is making waves, even in regions lacking formal acknowledgement. This shows not only its tenacity but also the revolutionary prowess of this tech. Regardless of governmental recognition, folks globally grasp Bitcoin's worth, using it as an inflation shield and wealth building tool.

Sure, Bitcoin investment carries risk, as with any venture. Market swings may be daunting, but they are part and parcel of the crypto dynamism. We're witnessing a tectonic shift as more people turn to Bitcoin for wealth protection and growth, shunning traditional bank savings.

Kudos for your Bitcoin voyage. Its a leap towards our fiscal tomorrow, and every Bitcoin backer is part of this exhilarating transition.
4854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing doesn't guarantee you to be rich on: June 23, 2023, 04:38:56 AM
Getting rich is a matter of pure luck.

That's what becoming rich is, just a mathematical probability. The majority of people are not poor because they choose to remain in the lower classes. They are poor because no matter if they invested or not, it was a string of bad decisions which, financially, put them in the lower classes. That is nobody's fault. Looking down on non-rich people never carries a good moral reason. Some people spend their lives trying to build a fortune. Others make a tiktok video which makes them incredibly famous and they leverage that fame for money and become rich. But you can always engineer good luck. All you need to do is have the right mindset- investors have a higher probability of getting rich than non-investors, for example. So by becoming an investor you raise your chances at making a lot of money.

Manifest your fate!
Yes,luck does intervene, but mastering knowledge, discipline, and skills is pivotal in dictating our financial fate. The wealth chasm isnt merely a fallout of poor decisions; its a web of systemic influences. Instead of dismissing it as a bad luck saga, let's dissect the existing socioeconomic structures.

Investing, when maneuvered with sound financial awareness, can be a potent wealth-builder. Staying alert to risks, market flux, and the need for diversification is paramount. Therefore, it's beyond improving your luck quotient; it's about arming yourself with the right tools and know-how. Crafting your future is more than wishful thinking; it demands action and enlightenment.
4855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and cash are more important than ever. on: June 23, 2023, 04:12:35 AM
There is so much fraud around, that I don't want open banking, I want private banking. There was a perfectly good and efficient system in operation for several years. It involved my bank, Visa and the NS&I. Visa introduced an intermediate verification check, and this required me to obtain an authorisation code by inserting my debit card into a plastic nreader, and entering my pin. It wsas efficient, and I thought it was secure. Now it seems the UK government is insisting that a fourth privately owned organisation is introduced into the transfer. They asked for access to my account, and this had never been requested befoire. I'm going to write to my bank and askj for all details of the information they downloaded. In theory they could obtain details of all my credit card transactions for the last year, and other sensitive information. Although the organisation is UK based, the site is hosted in the US ( Iowa ), and the web site designer appears to be Spanish. The NS&I purport to be big on security. For example, they log you out if you use the bsack button, but then they introduce this massive security risk by insisting that I give my banking details to a new organisation with non-UK associations. I'm going to open a non-associated bank account to make these payments, and I'll transfer the money from my main account befiore submitting the payment request.

There is some background to my concern. I believe that Bitcoin was created by the Central Banks as an experiment, and the 30 minute lag for payment confirmation, together with the total of 21 million coins createdwith the foundation block, were intended to ensure that Bitcoin was unsuitable to become a global currency for daily use. However it does mnake it a great store of wealth. The Central Banks must have learnt a lot from observing Bitcoin, and it has prepared them to introduce some CBDCs. Also, I believe that the European Union was created as an experiment designed to fail, and we can see that they are now implementing policies to cause this failure. We can also see that the WEF is moving to create a currency that will rfeplace the US Dollar and the Eurio, and to sit alongside the UK Pound. They are working to destroy the dollar to facilitate this change. The can't destroy the Pound, as over 60% of the Western world's wealth is contriolled by the City of London, and interest rates are quoted in relation to LIBOR. The wealth holdings are held in a structure known as the Veil of Tiers. These are pyramids of holding companies many of which are in UK tax havens. If Sterling were to be replaced, then most of the contracts in these holdings would have to be rewritten and renegotiated.
Ive digested your apprehensions, and share a few. The idea of baring our financial particulars to another private entity does seem like a security trap looming. However, blossoming fintech does dangle the carrot of enhanced ease and streamlined dealings. Checking the controls in place is key. Your Bitcoin conjecture intrigues, but I remain unconvinced that it's a central bank experiment. Yet, the financial titans have undeniably harvested wisdom from its design, likely propelling CBDCs.

Your take on the EU and WEF reveals deep suspicion towards international bodies. Alongside policy scrutiny, it's vital to weigh the possible benefits of a globally cohesive financial framework. The 'Veil of Tiers' is complex, but amidst regulatory amendments, these architectures might have to adjust. We're amidst massive shifts, and vigilance is critical.
4856  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would the advancement in AI have any adverse effects on cryptocurrency? on: June 23, 2023, 03:49:15 AM
The rapid development and advancement of AI is something that everyone is aware of. AI has truly come to stay with new ideas being implemented and released by different companies.

However, I'm a bit curious on how AI would affect cryptocurrency in the nearest future. Will it be majorly positive or negative? Let's all share our thoughts on this.

I think the effect would be rather positive, just as with any new technology which brings improvement to older technology. But at the same time I cannot see how AI is going to be a largely positive force for crypto. Can we even include AI into blockchain and have it still be decentralized or will AI have to sit on the centralized sidelines as a support function of sorts for blockchain?

Decentralized AI, that will be interesting to see. Only then can we talk about crypto and AI. Until then AI remains a neat gimmick for the crypto world, like 3D TV's.

Although there may have been advancements that I have no knowledge of, so take my post with a grain of salt.
Your points raise interesting debates. To clarify, blockchain and AI arent necessarily incompatible - its all about how we merge them. Take decentralized AI as an example; federated learning allows machine learning models to learn from data across various devices while keeping it at the source. This kind of architecture could be integrated into blockchain networks without undermining the decentralization principle.

However, I find your comparison of AI in crypto to 3D TVs rather disheartening. AI has potential to do more than being a shiny new tool in the crypto world. Consider automated trading bots or fraud detection systems; these are not mere gimmicks.

Of course, the application of AI in crypto is still in its early stages, and your skepticism isnt unwarranted. But lets not hastily dismiss it as just a neat gimmick. Lets watch how the tech develops.
4857  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop stressing kids with bitcoin on: June 23, 2023, 03:27:30 AM
Absolutely, we need to give the children their freedom to choose where they want to go, what they want to decide, or where they want to invest when they grow up. Teaching them something complicated against their interests will surely hamper their mental stability. Yes, you can tell them about bitcoins or digital assets, but don’t tell them complicated things like how to trade, how to invest, etc. Children are meant to study and develop their mental and physical health. So yes, giving them unnecessary stress might hamper their natural growth.
I feel so glad when I see very senior members of the forum also sharing in same idea with me because most times, people  read  a thread with a the mindset to just argue and that's reay bad and I wish sometimes some persons can just read to learn and make some positive contributions and evaluations rather than just wanting to argue and I've always repeated that I'm  not against people telling and introducing bitcoin  to their kids and kids I generally mean people below 16 years and rather than wanting to impress their mental growth with the complexity of bitcoin  and cryptocurrency at large, we should have a portfolio  for them and keep investing  while we watch it grow with them and when they are fully of age, we can gradually bring this knowledge  to them.
Undeniably, friend. The web teems with aggressive debaters, poised to engage and disassemble. Observing an alternate ethos where participants aim for positive contributions is a breath of fresh air. A heartfelt tribute to the OGs in the forum, disseminating their expertise selflessly.

Speaking of the youngsters, precisely! Early exposure to crypto is beneficial, as long as it's age-tailored. We should prevent bombarding them with advanced crypto jargon and principles. Having a growing portfolio for them is an astute move. This step-by-step introduction not only enhances their intellectual development but does so in an intriguing and practical way.

People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

You can define gambling depending on your own mindset, in fact, you may even think of gambling as you understand it. remember, no one is forcing someone to become a gambler and even become an addict. it all depends on how one reacts to it.

Btw, your question is very interesting. why do people still gamble, why, the answer will be very relative and varies depending on how someone reacts. You see, there is no mystery behind gambling. everything is designed for entertainment in the digital age like today. the concept of gambling for now, is different from gambling in the past. even though basically, all of the elements are the same, namely risking something. in return, if you are lucky you can get a profit according to what you bet. maybe even, you get a jackpot bonus.

You can think of gambling as additional income, or steady income, but that thought is the wrong step and start towards things that you will not like later. the point is, you can think of gambling as entertainment, or as you describe it. in fact, no one is forcing you if you don't gamble at all.
Your perspective on betting mirrors its two-sided character. Truly, it can either be a joyous indulgence or a risky venture, dictated by one' approach. Answering your query, gambling' magnetism has remained constant for ages - the exhilaration, the anticipation of victory, and now, the sheen of digital arenas. Even with a tech-facelift, gambling is essentially about staking valuable assets, usually intertwined with significant risks

Seeing gambling as a consistent earnings source is like chasing shadows - enticing, yet fundamentally erroneous. It's crucial to recognize gambling for its reality - a high-stake activity warranting prudence. The decision to gamble lies solely with the individual

I have not seen a female gambler in my life but I heard that women are also gambling. A male gambler told me that, there is a girl in his compound that play all kind of games, plus virtual games. As for me, I will not agree with that you result because if female are playing gamble then there are some women that would also play. Women see porker game as calculative game then men would also it from that angle, porker is not a skillful game but a calculative games.

If you have ever been to land based casinos, especially those with big names. you will see a lot of women, both in groups, I mean with partners or friends, even alone. you will see, the women will gamble on the same table. likewise with gambling in today's digital era, we are facilitated easily without having to visit or travel.

Nowadays, we can easily access online casinos via mobile.  gambling for now, not only intended for men only. In fact, I have several female friends in my environment who like to play online slot games. In fact, in slot games there are several games with female nuances or games that are liked by women. Just see, there are lots of female content creators who are gambling influencers. so gambling for now knows no gender, everyone can play it anywhere according to their wishes and mood. in the current era, gambling is entertainment that is practical as well as fun. However, there are risks involved in it. if the question is which is more dominant, male or female. obviously we will have the same answer and voice, men dominate gambling more than women.
Digitization has remarkably transformed gambling. From smoky casinos to the ease of online platforms, its accessible to everyone, irrespective of gender. The rise in female participation in online slots is evident. Today' era empowers women to become gambling influencers, breaking down age-old gender biases. However, potential hazards cannot be overlooked, and responsible gambling is crucial.

Even though men seem to monopolize gambling, a shift is possible as more women relish the gamble's thrill. Heres to a balanced representation in this field!

Your casino strategy is pretty comprehensive, mate, though Ive got a few reservations. It's clear you've done your homework with BC, Stake, and Wolf, but arent you spreading yourself too thin? It sounds to me like your time is divided across these three platforms, chasing VIP programs, bonuses, and incentives. Have you considered focusing on just one casino? Optimizing your strategy for that particular platform might yield better results. Also, how are you handling the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies? Market trends can swing wildly, affecting the value of your winnings. This aspect seems missing in your account management strategy. Do you have any risk mitigation measures in place to manage these fluctuations?
