This is normal, after all friendlies are not things that you are suppose to bet on, it is a thing where teams just test out tactics and players get in shape and learn to play with each other because not everyone played for the national team all the time, so some players are new, and they need to learn to play together. I personally believe that any friendly is not good to play, club ones are not that good to bet on neither, because teams do not care if they win or lose, that's not the point of a friendly.

There are some of them like friendly cups, in which case that could be important because they may care about it, but even in those cases it is not really that much of a big deal and teams rarely play to win those games at all.

The official explanation is that the media rights holders (Disney-Star) doesn't want smaller (i.e Associate) teams in the world cup. So the number of participants was reduced from 16 in the 2007 ODI World Cup to 10 as of now. But then the question remains. If only 10 nations are participating in this tournament (out of that 5 from the South Asian region), how can you call it as "World" cup? There should have been a middle way, which would make sure that some of the associate nations get to participate and also the media rights holders are happy. But as of now, not even all the full members (12) are included in the world cup.

Money is good, but knowledge is better. Both works well to compliment each other to a certain extent. Having the knowledge and not the money to invest in what you know leads to the what is called 'Knowledgeable broke person'. Aside from Bitcoin, in the general scheme of life, it's like learning a trade or handiwork but not having the money to set it up for yourself. You could do freelancing, raise some capital and set yourself up.
In all, money is very necessary to make the knowledge come to fruition.

If one has learned the pattern of Bitcoin market, he will never panic sell or worried about its price during the bear market.  Instead, he should be happy DCA-ing as price fluctuate because we all know that after the Bitcoin price crash, Bitcoin has the ability to recover and rally upward which often breaks its ATH.

Only those who do not understand nor are willing to understand Bitcoin sell in an instant whenever the price crashes and I find this a good thing because in the end only people who have strong trust on BTC that will be left.

If you can work during your student years without compromising your studies, then I only support such an initiative. If during your studies you can save some funds and invest them in order to increase them, then this will be a very good bonus for you, since young people rarely think about this at such a young age. They believe that you need to live for pleasure while you are young, and we will think about money when we grow up, but this is not a very good attitude, because after receiving a higher education, you will have to study at the school of life, learn to earn money, invest, this will still have to will learn.

i found your steps not that good enough (no disrespect) but you said we should not become technical jargon but crypto/BTC is technology so you have to step your foot into the river of technicality. Lets take an example, i am a newbie i know nothing about crypto back in 2018, and all i thought is BTC is some source of free earning, like all we have to do is click after every 24 hours on online mining platforms and money is being generated, well, after getting slapped on the face i left crypto, and in 2020 one of my friend help me to understand crypto/btc how?.

Well, first, i am not a traditional person and never involved into banking sector, so i did not aware of the traditional market or finance problems, i did not even aware of the global reserve cycle problem, so, what i learn is, how BTC is developed, Why it exist, Who is running the blockchain, What value it has in its decentralization and why we should value it too? How BTC is gaining value while it is just a programming or a block of code? How transactions are being made?

These types of question i learnt first, at that time there were no AI tools like gpt but today anyone could quickly learn these things in no time.

The point is, teaching your family and teaching anyone, requires different approaches, we cannot jut use the same strategy to teach them because they already knew what money and currency is but they are eager to learn how Blockchain is important with BTC and why BTC is gaining value, How can we get benefit from it? and instead we are teaching them the inflation, and global crisis and financial cycles and etc. Never compare Gold with BTC in front of traditional people because they will give up on BTC at start, Why? because they have spent more than you talking and listening about gold then BTC.

I agree with what you are thinking about SEC, they just want money, and their greed is getting bigger and bigger when they see the potential of this crypto market. And you are right, the SEC is targeting bitcoin, but since they have no direct way to stop it and are hitting what they think will affect the growth of bitcoin. But they were completely wrong because even if Binance or Coinbase fails, bitcoin will still stand and grow in a different way. They will have no way to completely stop bitcoin.

something that will break your mind
banks dont lend out depositors money.. .. are you shocked??

they CREATE money when they set up mortgages. yep thats right new money.
they were limited to only create new value to a ~% of inflation against total value on deposit.

thats where i think you got confused about the fractional reserve part. they dont borrow deposits. they create a X% of new value compared to deposits when they create mortgage loans
..

the other different "fractional reserve system" was something else. it was where when people deposit bank notes to get bank account balance..  those bank notes were to be burned when creating electronic account balance.
but banks then had to have small <10% (of the electronic bank balance) to hand in the form of new bank notes to honour account withdrawals. which is where the banks then bought (at face value) crisp new bank notes. which meant the US Mint(treasury) got money for the fractional reserve
however due to most people now using visa/mastercard for payments instead of cash via ATMS the % of fractional reserve has decreased to nearly nothing

the treasury(us mint) didnt like getting less and less income and are now making a CBDC to replace the need for banks and visa/mastercard where the treasury again takes more control of citizens accounts and takes any fee's or investment plans they can create from CBDC

and now you should be fully uptodate of how the system has and does and will work

Honestly, I don't think mentioning bitcoin in this case makes sense. The wedding day is the most important in every woman's life, so do whatever makes them as happy as possible. If the bride doesn't know anything about bitcoin, it would be ridiculous to give it to her, I really don't like the idea.

Moreover, he said that bitcoin is not legal in his country, and giving bitcoin on his wedding day is no different than declaring to everyone that he is investing in bitcoin. This may cause his small family more trouble than make his wife happy.

People will learn quick that relying on this industry for their income as they will put their family in trouble.
Do remember, most gamblers are having financial problems, hence, the negative stigma when someone is into gambling.
The likelihood of failure is high when you put yourself into this habit. Very few persons can get out alive whether short-term or long-term basis.
So to make sure you are putting something on your table, better look for a stable job and not think that gambling will ever sustain your lifestyle.
A lot of people are getting trap to the idea of hitting big one day, but we all know, most of the time, such luck won't ever come.
And your family can't wait for such luck as you need to put something in your tummy to survive. Don't exchange it to the concept of hitting the jackpot.

It's really very stressful to play gambling that depend on luck but there's nothing you can do to change that result, in a few days it's possible that people get luckier and manage to hit a big multiplier, but even when the person when this person hits a large multiplier, when looking at the statistic, you will see that he had many losses and few victories, but as this person was lucky enough to hit a large multiplier, then this person is in profit, for example if in your case with these statistics you had hit a big multiplier

you wouldn't be irritated with these statistics, you would be celebrating at that moment, so if you keep playing solts that are things that depend on luck, you shouldn't be complaining with these numbers and you shouldn't look at the game as a source of income or profit, because you can already see that the chances of hitting a big multiplier are very small, out of 370 games you only had 38 hits, so it's a very small number of hits and a big sign for you not to see the game as something profitable because it's not profitable, if you had continued to play you would not have changed this losing trend

Most of the traditional gambling in my place are also a women gambler, but its hard to tell that they are growing in numbers since many are also playing secretly. Maybe men are more open to share their gambling activities as they are more exposed to different kind of gambling and on casinos. There are difference between men and women as a gambler and for me, women are more emotional when it comes to gambling while men are too serious on trying to make money in gambling.

In that case, if you break one of the rules out of ignorance and the casino bans your account or confiscate your money then there is no one to blame but yourself.
The good thing about casinos is that they have pretty much the same terms except minor differences. So when reading the ToS you have to focus only on what concerns you and what you believe might be different from the casino's you are familiar with.

Without money been at stake it doesn't qualify as gambling because we have so many activities that people can participate in and they're organized by companies for the purpose of promoting their brand. In such activities, you can win cash prizes and you weren't gambling

Some companies organized a lottery system for their customers and they can win by buying more goods from their shopes or making use of the service that he companies are offering. Then they can randomly select winners by using some criteria and gifting them prizes.

I support your thoughts of it been gambling when you can lose money which means there has to be money stakes by one or two persons for you to be able to lose it. Anything that has money stakes can be classified as gambling, you might be playing with another person or computer.

Exactly, good self-control is what we need to go back and focus and not being bothered much by that certain emotions, it can lead us to make more mistakes and push our aggressions if we continue following such adrenaline, better to have that kind of gesture to let remind yourself in what to do in pausing for a while and be back when you are settle and ready to start it again.

Gambling is more about following your emotions. The more you can limit yourself, the better chance that you won't commit mistakes.

If we view it in that sense then it's true, the bets we lose are a win for the casino, but still in other sense the gamblers are up their for money which they are losing to a casino. I agree that losing is really a part of gambling and if someone is into gambling then he/she should keep that in mind, but sometimes we lose a lot more than expected and that's a worst thing I guess.

Most of the gamblers who aren't addicts are trying to make some money in gambling, and losing of most of the bets could cause fear in their minds. They will either give up on gambling and consider themselves unlucky, or may develop a perception in their minds that most of the casinos have intentionally made a mechanism so they could grab more money from the pockets of the gamblers. In either way they might be right or wrong, but they will never go gambling again due to the fear.

No matter what strategies you try to use to convince people, those who will be interested will surely be interested, and those who will not develop interest will never be. I seriously like people to benefit from anything or anywhere I am benefiting, but no matter how hard you may try to help some people, they will never give you help themselves. I have tried many times to introduce some of my relatives to Bitcoin, but not all of them have listened, despite the different strategies I used.
 
So I just discovered that no matter how hard someone tries to carry some people to the right way, they will never come. Op You have really tried with the guides lines, and it may be helpful to some people, but I don't think it is necessary to convince people by all means to learn about Bitcoin. I believe when they think it is the right direction for them, they will surely find means to learn about it. 

During the early stages of Bitcoin's existence, it was quite understandable that many people couldn't fully believe in Bitcoin. Apart from not being widely known, Bitcoin, when it was still a baby, always raised questions for everyone. Those who owned Bitcoin wondered, "How could such an asset possibly become so valuable?" It was only natural for many people not to take it too seriously.

Until now, those who didn't have high expectations for Bitcoin in the past but held onto their Bitcoin are fortunate. On the other hand, those who were overly calculating and afraid of potential losses, which were actually not significant, ended up with nothing today. Luck favored the right people—those who didn't let emotions and worries get in the way.
