Enough is something subjective, as $100 per month might not be an extravagant amount in western countries but is in the Third World. I've seen other users start with as little as $30 per month; if you can afford to spend $100 every month, then I don't see why not; it's actually a decent amount to get you started. That's $1.200 per year, which isn't too bad; it all depends on what you're aiming for and your available income, and who knows, it might encourage further budgeting and saving, and you might opt to spend more in the future. You need to specify your needs; you're asking if it's enough—for what exactly? To become wealthy? Certainly not, to gain some extra pocket money and build a small savings fund? Probably yes.

Certainly, the early days where you could yield massive results with relatively small amounts of money have passed, but it's still not too late to start acquiring Bitcoin; the prices have already risen close to $45.000. Who knows what the future holds? In the upcoming year or two, we could possibly surpass the current ATH.

That's absolute bollocks; there's pure manipulation of oil prices. There's a great demand for oil; if the supply is limited by this much, it'll send fuel prices to the moon once again. They're still high; imagine what will happen when the supply cut takes place. I believe that after the Ukraine-Russian war and the sanctions against Russia, we're doomed to a vicious circle of higher fuel and energy prices that will never recover ever again. Only the US is profiting from this war, as it's currently our main supplier for oil and especially CNG.

I was hoping that fuel prices would eventually recover, at least to a reasonable extent. The average petrol price here is €1.85 per liter; that is still insanely expensive and was a price that we'd see towards the end of the tourist season; now it has become the norm, and no one seems to be complaining about it. On the contrary, we seem to be thankful for not paying €2 per liter.

No, not really. As long as you treat it like a game and encourage being responsible with your money, meaning not to blow everything at gambling by getting too emotional at your losses, then I don't see a solid reason to regret it. As user @alastantiger mentioned already, no one forced your friend to be involved in gambling in the first place, let alone continue after observing that it was hurting him, both mentally and financially. You can always stop if it's hurting you; it's supposed to be an entertaining activity, not a burden that wrecks you.

If it's causing issues in your real life, then you should quit, and if you're unable to do it yourself, you need to seek help. Addictions are a bitch, and it's not shameful to ask for assistance. The majority of us have probably been in a similar position once in our lifetime, not necessarily regarding gambling.

It feels nice to be appreciated in your post, so thank you in a way. It took me a while to remember who you were, and I had to briefly go back to your original thread. I'm glad that you actually went ahead and acquired your first Bitcoin, and it's a decent purchase as well, at approximately $1,500. Nice job! It feels good to see you delighted, and I'm hoping this is only the beginning, and eventually you'll end up accumulating more. You can only benefit from this story.

Good luck on your Bitcoin endeavours!

Recently, there was a thread regarding slots, and quite a few other users felt that they weren't worth it. Personally, I agree with what you've stated, and I believe it's due to the nature of the game that doesn't leave you with much wiggle room. Certainly, that's in favor of the casinos and not the user, as you're not able to choose your odds nor do you have any options.

Slots are an old-fashioned game that was extremely popular in physical casinos. Their philosophy is pretty straightforward; you just pull down the lever (or click a button) and that's it. Personally, I don't think they're worth it, and I avoid them like a plague.

The majority of people lose in casinos; they're constructed in such a way that it makes you lose track of time and, eventually, your money. Moreover, they're getting suspicious when someone is winning large amounts of money and, indeed, may attempt to drive them away.

However, as a simple employee, it's generally advised to not interfere and mind your own business. You're not the one making choices here, but I understand the OP's point. I'd also hate seeing someone lose, especially if it's a regular attendant I personally know, but in general, it's a risk gamblers are willing to take and not our decision to make. I'd rather not get reprimanded by neither the gambler nor my employer for someone else's choice. On top of that, no casino would ever allow its employees to step in and interfere, as it's against the concept of casinos, which is to make money on other people's losses. Which business owner would jeopardize himself to save someone else's issues caused by their addictions?

I had seen a few of his reports against spammers and AI content, but didn't know him personally, nor have I ever interacted with him. May he rest in peace, it's sad to see young people go, I wish the best for his family, they have gone through a lot already.

I'm not sure if it was an offside; it doesn't seem like one to me. It's ironic for Marinakis to call Greek football a criminal gang, as he's the one running the whole operation, along with the drug cartel. It's not the first time soccer matches have been fixed, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is all a show. I find it difficult to believe that Olympiakos didn't win against Volos and had two goals cancelled; the whole scenario seems extremely sketchy. Where is his evidence, and why hasn't it been presented yet? Because it's likely nonexistent. If it is supposedly found that the match was fixed, it'll be extremely ironic and certainly something he was aware of. I simply cannot believe that he's suddenly all innocent.

It's justified if you ask me; I hadn't heard of Altcointalks till now, so I'm guessing it's nowhere as popular as Bitcointalk, and its userbase must be far smaller. From a quick look-around I did, it's certainly not as active, and this probably justifies the lower pay. I don't think I'd bring myself to change forums to join a signature campaign, especially with such a petty amount of money compared to the standards we're used to here, but also because the other forums that have been mentioned here don't inspire me.

Some services will certainly move to other forums, but they're not receiving anywhere close to the traffic we're receiving, so I have my doubts regarding their advertising efficiency.

There are so many options for both gamblers and casinos to avoid high transaction fees. The majority of them offer a wide variety of deposits in altcoins, such as Litecoin, Stellar, Doge, Ethereum, BNB, and so many more that it's merely an issue at this point. The only concern is that it requires you to convert your coins, which is susceptible to trading fees, but usually, that's minimal compared to the higher transaction fees of Bitcoin and sometimes Ethereum. With that being said, I don't see a reason to use Bitcoin if you're frequently depositing at a casino. Even providers convert to other coins, just like we do to avoid any fees.

When we're winning, the brain releases a chemical called dopamine that makes us feel good. That's why your mood is improved instantly. If you're addicted, though, you're getting used to the dopamine and constantly craving more, just like how nicotine works in cigarettes. It's understandable to feel irritated after losing, especially if it's a large sum of money, but feeling moody and angry towards friends and family members is a no-go. It's a sign that gambling is getting the best of you to the point that it's controlling your emotions. Similarly, when you're stepping home from work, you need to leave your emotions out of your close circle; otherwise, you'll lash out about your work's issues to your loved ones, losing in gambling works in a similar way.

I believe that it's quite common among gamblers, and I've personally suffered some moodiness after losing a couple of times, but you eventually get the hang of it and control your behavior and your betting strategy.

It's indeed been a while since this thread was last updated, but it's an interesting subject. Fortunately, crude oil prices have slightly dropped compared to what they were a few months ago, surpassing $90 or even $100 in some cases. Brent crude is now at $76.50 and WTI crude at $72, still a lot more expensive than it used to be a few years ago. Unfortunately, I don't expect prices to fall back to what they used to be anytime soon or ever, while the EUR/USD exchange rate is far from being what it used to be.

Even though crude has dropped in price and the exchange rate isn't that bad (1 EUR was equal to $1.10 a few days ago), thanks to our government and pure market speculation, fuel prices haven't dropped too much, with petrol costing an average of €1.87/liter and diesel at €1.69/liter. I'm not sure what to expect in the future, but I'm guessing that high fueling costs have become the norm, as €1.85 per liter was once considered high and was mostly noticed during the summer periods; now it's merely the average price to pay.

That's correct. Personally, New Year's Resolution is just another day in the calendar; making such promises to myself for the upcoming year feels like beating a dead horse. We humans, myself included, rarely keep up with those. I personally cannot recall honoring a promise I made at the end of the year, and it's merely simple ones like starting an activity or taking better care of myself. Usually, the New Year's Resolution effect wears off after a few days, and we're too unmotivated to keep up with it.

The summary towards the end of the year usually goes like this:

Save $5.000 $500
Start going to the gym or a sport Watch TV
Eat healthier. Eat

Thus, why should I include something like gambling? I'm neither addicted nor an often-used user; I don't see any reason to be concerned about occasional use.

From how I see things, I don't think the cancellation of Masouras' goal at 60' is justified; it seems like a solid goal to me. And to imagine, I regretted not participating in the previous matches, especially Olympiakos vs. Volos, after seeing what happened, not so much as I was expecting Olympiakos to win. I was looking forward to trying my luck on the next one, but it's not bound to come soon.
Well, isn't it true? He simply has forgotten to mention that he's the leader of that criminal gang, a tiny detail.  

Είσαι τραγικός, και ο τρόπος που αντιμετωπίζεις ότι είσαι λάθος είναι με το να πετάς προσβολές περί του ποιος ξέρει αγγλικά και ποιος όχι. Παρεμπιπτόντως, έχω άριστη γνώση και δε χρειάζομαι να το αποδείξω. Αν δεις την φωτογραφία σου ξανά, λέει "Enhance building use". Μπορεί να έχει χιλιάδες σημασίες και αιτιολογίες για το πως και τι, αλλά εσύ επιλέγεις ότι θα μας πεθάνουνε. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, ο πληθυσμός στις Ευρωπαϊκές χώρες ούτως ή άλλως μειώνεται λόγω δημογραφικού, μόνο στις αναπτυσσόμενες χώρες αυξάνεται, και αν υπήρχε όντως θέληση να τους ξεπαστρέψουν, θα είχε γίνει και εύκολα μάλιστα.

Ακόμα και στο θέμα των ενοικίων, βρίσκεις θεωρία συνομωσίας. Αν διάβαζες τι επισύναψες, θα έβλεπες ότι στοχεύει στη μείωση της κατασκευής νέων κτιρίων το οποίο θα επιτευχθεί από τη βελτίωση υφιστάμενων κτιρίων (κλειστά κτίρια δηλαδή που απαιτούν ανακαίνιση). Κοινοποιείς κάτι το οποίο καν δε διαβάζεις, παρά μόνο κάνεις επιθέσεις και χαρακτηρίζεις οποιοδήποτε άλλο μέλος έχει αντίθετη άποψη από εσένα.

Εκτός των κατοικιών που έχουν δοθεί σε βραχυχρόνιες μισθώσεις, είναι γεγονός ότι στην Ελλάδα, πολλά κτίρια μένουν ανεκμετάλλευτα για λόγους όπως έλλειψης κεφαλαίου, που συμβάλλουν περαιτέρω στο στεγαστικό πρόβλημα. Ακόμα και στο εξωτερικό που τα ενοίκια είναι υψηλά, η αναλογία μέσου μισθού/μέσου ενοικίου είναι πολύ χαμηλότερη από την Ελλάδα.

FDUSD is already running on Binance and is being promoted on Launchpads, along with TUSD and BNB. Moreover, it's now offering a 10% APY bonus for up to $1,000 in their "Earn/Staking" section. However, is there any proof to back such a claim? Although I understand your point that it's heavily promoted, it's best not to jump to conclusions without being able to confirm the validity of such statements. Personally, apart from what you've mentioned, which is merely a suspicion, I don't see any link between Binance and First Digital Limited, the issuer of FDUSD. On top of that USDT is also being promoted and having boosted APYs, thus, I don't think your claim is enough to come up with such a conclusion.

When you lend money, you should always think of the worst-case scenario, thus not expecting it back. Right now, even though your friend might repay you eventually, you didn't have the money in hand when you actually needed it for yourself. I personally avoid lending money unless it's someone close to me or cannot avoid me, because it puts me in a difficult position. Congratulations on your earnings, though. That's a great yield for a $1 wager. Don't stress too much about how much you could have possibly won if you had the $10, because there's always the possibility of you making different wagers, betting different amounts of money, and ultimately losing your earnings. You can never know the outcome.

Isn't it already possible, though? Some casinos don't even ask for verified KYC and ask for basic information like your name and surname in case of a withdrawal, and sometimes they don't even verify their validity. Thus, it may be possible with relatively smaller amounts, which weren't too much of a concern to begin with, but you do run the risk of withholding your funds in case they suspect malicious usage; a large withdrawal, for instance, would trigger their security system and block you and your access to your funds. Perhaps it can be done every now and then, but is it ultimately worth the risk?

Also, to add in @Solosanz reply, because I agree with what he mentioned, I had an account in a Lithuanian bank that was often used for money laundering, something that I did not know at the time, not going to name which, because it's unnecessary, but the bank faced some serious allegations and had to stop operations. If I'm not mistaken, they've relaunched and gone through a stricter KYC.

Neither did I. Not long ago, I created a thread discussing when we're likely to reach the $50,000 mark, and I also mentioned that Bitcoin is unlikely to surpass $40,000 within 2023. It wasn't a great year after all, and I didn't expect any pleasant surprises in the two-to-three months that were left. I was wrong, though, and woke up today to find that it has reached $41,000 and may climb even further. Its price is already increasing as I'm typing this post. It's quite possible to surpass $50,000 by March or April, which, from the lowest price in 2023, is up to a 3x yield in a smaller than 2-year period. Quite astonishing, if you ask me.

I'm not quite sure when we'll have another ATH, certainly between 2024 and 2025, but it doesn't look that far from where we currently are.
