I would have said that you acted unwisely but reading further showed that you converted your mistake to a lesson not just for yourself but for others. We all make mistakes in life but what is important is the lesson we derive from our shortcomings and our ability not to repeat such an error. The ability to separate needs from wants will make you a good investor. Focusing on out basic needs is what will give use the privilege of saving to invest.

There are always what to spend or waste money on. Manufacturers will keep producing attractive products that will entice us to buy them even when we know that we don't really need them. Self-discipline is very important if you want to save and invest. Buying a video game is just for pleasure,  meanwhile, investment should always come before fun. If you have a burning desire to accumulate Bitcoin, you should also imbibe the virtues of focus and self-control.

I am not saying that artificial intelligence will eliminate language transaction jobs totally but my take is that it will limit the number of job opportunities. Many of these languages interpreting jobs will be taken over by these machines especially if it is not related to face-to-face conversations. But one can also take advantage of these AI tools to learn more languages. If you are effective in using these tools, you might not need to learn these languages because these tools could be very helpful in the translation of languages you have a low level of mastery.

I was well informed by your post and I accept almost everything you have said. Most of these computer-related jobs can be easily taken over by these machines. So I will recommend jobs that require physical or practical skills to anybody because these jobs are ageless. The only difference is the seasonal introduction of new machines or equipment to make the job faster and easier.

Such kind of thought don't just happen in gambling but in other areas of life. You will always have the feeling to put in more money in gambling or other endeavours because you might perceive that you might win big. Humorously sometimes it turns out to be the right decision and you win big from such a bet increase. And you will begin to tell how your intuition was just correct but in some other cases, you tend to regret your action and even claim that such thoughts came from the devil.

I have had this feeling several times and in may of these cases I regretted my actions because I lost. From then henceforth I am not greedy to increase my bet because of a mere feeling. I always follow my gambling plans no matter how I am feeling. Although I might have won bigger in some occasions if I had increased my bet my decision has saved me from unnecessary losses and regrets.

These well-known scam projects are mainly promoted by shitposters who don't care about the reputation of their account. The main focus of members who join such projects is to make money through the hook or crook. Most of the accounts that are used to promote these campaigns are worthless and receive negative tags for various offences. Other accounts that are clean are impatient to wait for better campaigns so they end up joining these scam projects because of money.

Newbies should be aware of these projects and avoid them if they want to enjoy their stay on this forum because a negative trust can destroy an account that took so much hard work to build. One of the ways to avoid joining these scam campaigns is to do research on them in this forum before joining.

Bitcoin price can be unpredictable because it can be influenced by many economic factors. And most of these economic factors are also very difficult to predict. I never expected the price of Bitcoin to drop to this extent after the approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETF by the SEC. I was expecting the price to move to at least $50k but the reverse is the case now. I think the price will not recover this week and I also suspect that the price might keep depreciating until after the Bitcoin halving. As I earlier stated the price is unpredictable so a positive global economic outlook might make the price appreciate.

We have been having an increase in topics created by newbies asking almost similar questions. I suspect that the Bitcoin ETF and the upcoming halving are attracting people to the forum. OP it is great to know that you have gotten so much information about the forum before opening an account. This means that you have started getting foundational knowledge of Bitcoin and how the forum works. Nevertheless, I will encourage you to keep learning and contribute meaningfully to the forum. Always use the search option before starting a thread because this forum has many materials on almost everything about the Bitcoin and altcoins world. If you are interested in learning, you will find this forum very helpful.

The age of the child should be very important in dealing with this issue. If he is up to the age of gambling it is a stealing problem but if he is underage, the case will become more complicated.

The child shouldn't be forced to bring back the money especially if he is still depending on the parents financially except they want him to steal to repay what he has lost. What he needs is sound counseling and not threats or severe punishment. He should be told the implications of what he has done and the future consequences if he becomes addicted. He needs to know that this behavior could make him steal outside the home because he wants to satisfy his gambling urge.

Let's call a spade a spade, stealing is an immoral behavior regardless of the consequences. I will be mad at him and even discipline him but will still accept the win. He needs to know that I didn't support his actions and shouldn't repeat such behavior. I will be happy that he won big but I will concentrate more on his misbehavior than the money h won. From then I will keep a close eye on him to monitor his gambling activities.

Determination is the soul of every investor. This set of persons is determined to forgo pleasure because they know that the future will be better if they invest wisely today. I think that the most important needs are food, shelter, clothing, education and other basic things. For you to keep investing, there is a need to have self-control which makes one focus less on wants and more on investment.       

One does not need to suffer or die because you want to accumulate Bitcoin. You have to take care of yourself and your family first before thinking of investing because there are things that are more important than making money. Investing shouldn't deprive you of the good things in life. I think we should have a budget that will help us in planning how we spend and invest our income. Our priority should be our basic needs and any remaining funds can be invested in Bitcoin. Their motivation could be to create a financially stable future for themselves and their family members.

From close observation of the global working environment, we can conclude that artificial intelligence is one of the current technologies that is dominating the workspace. It has been reported that artificial intelligence tools will make many people jobless because they can perform almost the same things humans can do more faster and accurately. But the truth is that artificial intelligence is also creating more jobs globally. The best thing anybody could do now is to integrate AI tools into their tasks or responsibilities. Application of these tools to our work responsibilities makes the employee a highly sought-after worker.

Therefore, I am currently learning how to apply different AI applications to my profession. I am currently researching how these tools could increase the productivity of employees in my field and the result will be helpful to me and others.       

Learning a major language could be very helpful and could fetch a high-paying job especially if it is related to classroom teaching. But with the invention of various sophisticated applications that could interpret different languages, I doubt if these kinds of skills will be highly demanded in future. Learning how to use AI language interpreters to perform these tasks could be more enterprising. 

For now, Jose Mourinho has very few options. There is no interest from any European club because his performance in Roma this season was not encouraging. Moving to the Saudi Arabia league will be a perfect choice for the Portuguese tactician. But he will be faced with a herculean task in Al-Shabab FC. The club is currently in 11th position far below the expectations of the management and fans because they finished 4th last season. But the good part of the proposed deal is that he would have access to enough funds to land the kind of players he wants. His years of experience in Europe could also be an advantage since he could easily convince some of his ex-players to join him in Al-Shabab FC. It will be interesting to see how Jose will try to reclaim his "special one" title in the Gulf league.

You have received so many suggestions that will make your stay in this forum fruitful. But let me advise you to read more and write less at this infant stage. It will take some time for you to understand how things are done in the forum so you need to observe and learn more before you start commenting on threads. It is not compulsory to comment on any thread so it is better only to comment on threads where you have something worthy to contribute.

The forums don't tolerate plagiarism, if you are caught doing that it will lead to a ban. This is why you should add references to your posts if they were copied from somewhere. This forum encourages only human interaction so the use of artificial intelligence tools such as chatbots to write posts is highly prohibited.

If you intend to learn about Bitcoin and other cryptos you will find here very useful. And you will always enjoy your stay here if you abide by the forum rules. You are welcome.

62,000 cybercrime fighters to repel attacks, that's outrageous. These cybercriminals have created a lot of jobs for technologists . This is clear proof that the claim that fiat is safe is clearly false. These platforms will always have something to blame just to cover up their security lapses. Now they are claiming that these attacks were carried out by Russia as a retaliation for sanctions placed on them by the West. I wonder how they came to such conclusions.

But I subscribe to the fact that the increase in the development of artificial intelligence will be a main catalyst for this hack attempt. Cybercrime will keep increasing because these criminal actors are becoming smarter and more technologically inclined. I prefer to be responsible for the security of my funds than to put it in the hands of strangers.

The news about the gravity of the hamstring injury might be out today after a proper medical checkup. Both Egypt and Liverpool will be hoping that that injury is not that serious. His absence will have some negative impact on the Pharaohs as we saw the Ghanaian fans cheering when they saw that he was injured. Everyone knows that Salah is a threat to any defense. Liverpool will want him back as soon as possible to get the best medical treatment because they need the striker to fight for all the competitions they intend to win this season.

Aston Villa has become more competitive than Arsenal in recent times. The Gunners have won just one game in five games while Villa have won two. Until Arsenal puts in more effort to win more games teams like Chelsea might overtake them if the latter puts more effort. Mikel Arteta will have to do more to improve the team especially to move to the UCL quarterfinals.

Everything that has advantages also has disadvantages. Institutional investors attract more money and attention to the Bitcoin space. Many people who never knew anything about the currency will begin to be aware of what Bitcoin stands for. Some persons would never have invested in Bitcoin if not for the ETF because they can't keep their keys or passwords safe.

But all this attention and increased Investment comes with a price which is centralisation and loss of privacy. The only reason why the SEC approved the ETF is because they have devised various mechanisms to control the sector.

We cannot stop these investors from acquiring Bitcoin because it is a free market but we can still maintain our privacy and enjoy decentralization. Nobody will force you to sell your coin to anybody, it's still a matter of choice. It will also be difficult for these institutions to control the market because Bitcoin is still decentralized. I sense that the government will target decentralized platforms shortly but for now, we still have a choice.

People will always invest in profitable areas. The only problem is that they are investing in the right commodity through the wrong channel. Sadly many of them don't know the implications of what they are doing because they don't have enough information about Bitcoin. Maybe a hack or bankruptcy of these centralized platforms will force them to learn more.

I read a funny story that most people who retire early find it very boring that they want to go back to work. They missed their job and corporate life and they are going back to work. What will a young and vibrant man be doing after retirement? Maybe going on vacation, fishing, reading, watching movies or reading newspapers. There is no reason to retire early except there are maybe health issues or other conditions that could lead to forced retirement.

As Wind_FURY said, let us keep enjoying jobs and contributing to the growth of our nation's economy until we reach retirement age. But we should make plans that will make us financially stable after retirement. Using the DCA strategy to keep saving Bitcoin for our retirement is not a bad idea. Before we retire we might be surprised by the amount of Bitcoin we might have accumulated using DCA. My focus is not to rely on just my gratuity or pension to survive, this is why keeping Bitcoin will be a good option to save for retirement.  

However, thank you Greyhats for your analysis and advice.   

I don't think we should expect much from the Nigerian Super Eagles in the current African Cup of Nations. The team have been inconsistent because the coach José Peseiro has not shown any sign of professionalism or tactical prowess. For over three years now, Nigeria has failed to have a standard team. He was always been inconsistent in selecting players. He would keep inviting so different players to play in different games. With this attitude, the team cannot play in an organized manner because they have not understood themselves.

We all know that Nigeria has so many talents which makes selection very difficult for a coach but as a coach, he should select the best and build a team. Some of the players that are playing in this tournament have never played with each other before now. The Nigerian fans are hoping that they at least qualify for the next round because at that stage the players would have gotten some level of understanding of each other. But for them to make it to the next round, they must ensure they at least get a draw today.        

Just like the eNaira, the cNGN stablecoin will not get the right attention from the public. This is because this coin will not solve the financial issues Nigerians face in the banking sector. Nigerians are embracing cryptocurrency not because they like the blockchain but because they want a currency that will serve as a hedge against inflation and also make them invade some unfriendly policies from the central bank. Using the cNGN stablecoin is like using the online banking service of a commercial bank which is marred by delays and other transaction issues. Since it is still the central bank that will supervise the operations of the Africa Stablecoin Consortium (ASC), Nigerians will still have to face the same draconian policies like withdrawal and deposit limits as well as KYCs. However, this project is still in its pilot stage, but I know that they will not get the best result just like the eNaira.     

Applying what you have learned will make you master what you have learned and encourage you to learn more. The problem most members have is that they refuse to improve themselves because they are not focused on learning. Some of them want to become full members overnight so they devise every means to earn merits instead of patiently learning and improving on their post quality. They fail to understand that quality posts are the only means of climbing the ladder of this forum.
 
I have seen newbies that get offended because they were corrected. They fail to recognise that this is a forum where everyone is free to express their views about your posts. If you cannot entertain simple criticism, then such a person is not willing to learn. But you will succeed when you learn from constructive criticism and ignore unnecessary attacks. This forum is like a school where we learn and relearn so there will always be corrections.     

Congratulations OP on your achievement.

Nigeria is known to be one of the highest users of cryptocurrencies but it is rarely used for transactions. It is mainly used to cushion the effect of the failing local currency. However, Nigeria is still not ripe for the adoption of Bitcoin for the payment of salaries. The OP should recognize that most of the people that are into cryptocurrencies are youths, the other older people might lack basic knowledge of using cryptos. I am sure many workers will protest such a move by the government.

The Nigerian economy is also a fiat-dominated one in that most transactions are done using the local currency. We saw in the news how the scarcity of physical Naira notes led to anarchy in Nigeria. This is a clear indication that Nigeria is not even mature in online banking transactions.

There is no benefit of paying workers using Bitcoin for payment of salaries except these workers will be able to hodl it for a long time until the price appreciates. Based on the standard of living of most Nigerians, many of them spend their entire earnings on basic needs because their salaries are not even enough to cover expenses. So it will be rare to see workers saving from salaries except they have other sources of income.

The government will not stop until they bring the crypto industry under strict control. This report is a step towards starting a discussion between regulators and key players in the industry on how to regulate the DeFi systems. This means we might start seeing debates in U.S. Congress, state legislatures, and regulators like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on how to handle the so-called threat posed by DeFi systems. We just have to wait to see the outcome of these debates and discussions, however, this is not good news for those who cherish privacy.
