521  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top Crypto Execs Confident SEC Will Approve Spot Bitcoin ETFs on: October 22, 2023, 05:03:01 AM
The reason behind the postponement and postponement of approval by the SEC seems to give a sign that the SEC cannot reject the Spot Bitcoin ETF application that has come to their desk for approval. Because the SEC can't deny it. So they will just postpone it. But in the end it seems like the SEC will agree. So yeah, I agree with the saying that it's not about if but about when. We just have to wait for the final approval deadline. And it seems that when the Bitcoin Spot ETF is approved it will automatically strengthen Bitcoin's position in the world of digital finance and investment. And inevitably people who are initially cynical about Bitcoin will start to accept it too. Bullish seems to be in sight.

I think they were denying it until Grayscale comes in to fightback. It just need a big tech company with deep pockets inorder for SEC to back away. Its like fighting back a bully.

If grayscale just have a good argument yet no money to last like Ripple labs I think they will just prolong the fight but I guess the situation changed because of the economy as well.

If they know something I think they are expecting to see BTC as currency reserve since the other pole (China) is using gold as reserve. I've read this somewhere.

It's not a big deal at all. You've got the freedom to flaunt your betting slip to the world, and if that brings someone joy, we shouldn't be poking holes in their reasons. After all, he's a billionaire, for goodness' sake, so he can definitely show off his massive gambling tickets.

By the way, that 4.25 million, is that in USD or in Nigerian currency? Because if it's on Nigerian Currency, thats only around $5,558, no a huge bet IMO compared to Drake's bet and other sharks in sports betting.

Naira money. He bet 5M and to win 11M if Chealsea wins. He really put his bet at the right time while the team just scored.

He is a millionaire and has the right to do whatever he desires with his money to influence people arou d him its his business. Politicians do it all the time.

What a day for Islam Makhachev!
It is not easy to beat Volkanovski and it is even harder to do it with a KO, but Makhachev proved he is better fighter after beating him again, and he made Khabib proud.

So true mate, it was a hard day for Volkanovski, KO in the first round was just brutal for a guy like him, but I totally understand why Islam attacked that way, he just wanted to avoid what happened in the past fight, so, this time he has to go all in.

And my prediction about the Russian guy on his debut was right, it was an easy x1.4 as I mentioned before, too bad I missed the fight, it was too early morning for me, but I will search for the replay. For sure it was a crazy one.

Islam definitely caught him with a good kick that put him out. His cuts and the blood afterward looked gnarly. Seemed like Volkanovski just wasn’t ready for that.

A similar story with Usman and Khamzat. I think the fighters we’ve grown to love over the years have just gotten too old and now there is a new generation of fighters ready to own all the belts.

Brutal end for Volk. Noticed how Islam made him appear like getting up by preventing Volk's head from dropping using his knee so he could pound more of his hammer.

It really a late stoppage. He was out the moment that headkick hit. I don't think Volk could ever stand quickly with it. This short notice I think shouldn't be practised anymore.

This may be right to some extent.  While a successful gambler may enjoy some kind of peaceful relationship,  the peace is a short term one. At some point,  your partner will not only be Interested in the goodies that comes from gambling,  they will demand for more and that is attention.  Most gamblers pay little attention to their partners. Where their treasure is, there will their heart and attention be. It becomes worst if he is a gambling addict.

Women like money , yea. But no woman who is really committed  to the relationship will tolerate a man that gives her little or no attention.  What is love without attention.  Aside romantic relationships, gambling addicts pay little or no attention to happenings around their environment except issues and topics relating to gamble. Gambling can actually affect relationships whether the gambler involved is successful or not.

I think that you should not hide your passion for gambling from your partner. There's nothing wrong with it if you sit down and talk about it. If your wife or girlfriend loves you enough and is ready for a constructive dialogue, then everything will be fine. I understand that most people, when they hear the word Gambler, immediately imagine that this person is addicted, but in fact, according to statistics, there are not so many addicts among gamblers. Therefore, if you explain everything perfectly to your beloved, then they will embrace you and support you, monitoring your psychological state.

Hard to negotiate with a woman who demands full attention while they don't also provide full attention to you. It's always a mutual relationship, it's not just that woman receives the money all the time with them doing something in return.

It's true that gambling can affect relationships whether their partner notices you don't give your attention to her anymore or not. The kids of the couples that they have to look after are just more important than freedom from doing things they like.

Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?

I mean if it's a deal breaker for them and they won't stay with you over it then yeah if ypu love her/him why wouldn't you?  If gambling is worth more than the one ypu love then you need to check your addiction out and possibly get help.  If it's not an issue in your life then maybe have that conversation with them first to see if there is some possible middle ground like a set dollar amount or something.

For the guys who are fed up with their wives, they will really take this as sort of an opportunity. Heck, some men find gambling to be more entertaining than with their wives who don't even know how to cook omelets.

For housewives who are unsure what their partner would choose they better not ask their husbands to choose whether her or gambling. It's not in his best interest to keep a wife who is not supportive.  Grin
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 21, 2023, 06:35:24 PM
Stories like always cracks me up.
Well crying is better than those who committed suicide. After crying she's going to get a plate of ice cream after which she'll forget about her loss.
Real gamblers don't cry. We what that it is what it is. Anyone who doesn't gamble responsibly will face the consequences.

And at the same time, we click this kind of headline on the news. Somehow I believe this is a clickbait of the casino since there was also news about this being a kid begging for his money to be returned to him as the money is his school fee. Same bookmaker too.

Nonetheless, if the woman and the boy are true then this sportsbook has really gotten into the household of this country where even the housewives are already betting instead of doing chores at home.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: October 21, 2023, 05:15:19 PM
It made me understand that, despite during those days we had no phones or access to the internet, gambling is somehow embedded to the brain of humans. Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"

This is true. No matter what we do to control gambling, there’s always a point in our life which we will develop the curiosity to explore unknown territory such as alcohol, cigarettes, drug, gambling and other things that is unusual to human nature.

I agree on what you said because just like you, I just heard gambling on one of the adult in our neighborhood and I suddenly develop interest on it when I grow up until I’m capable to do it my self.

Kids in the 1990s learned faster as grown-ups were watching NBA games on TV together and betting live, the kids were also amazed at what they could make. Their eyes open wider realizing they can do it themselves without the grownup's knowledge.

Even when they were just risking their NBA cards or pennies, it's still the start of it. All it takes is just one small win and they are going to find it a success. Winning bets is addictive.

Shakur I think can KO Haney too. It's Tank that he might not be able to last.
Shakur has the skill but we haven't really seen him fight someone who can maneuver him, Shakur always wants to fight from a distance. A prime Pacman or prime Loma would be his very nightmare actually. But definitely, Davis can be Shakurs defeat too. 

Probably why he does tune-up after tune-up when he could really challenge Haney already before this fight is set. He must be waiting or Haney vs Davis.
529  Economy / Economics / Re: Bangladesh economy facing headwinds on: October 21, 2023, 03:58:13 PM
They are independent country though. And most countries today seem to be struggling.

One problem always is somewhat to be blamed in a country that has been struggling for years like Bangladesh is the government with 2 parties that do nothing but stopping each others project depending on who is seated in the presidency.

One government party will allow projects stand for long term to which they can expect a project will be completed since there is no opposition.
Mate, that's also what's happening here in our country. There's the opposition and the administration party and together with their alliances. It's always the disagreement and agreement from these political parties. And IMHO, that's what makes the progress of our country slow when there's always the disagreement and time is consumed from all of these debates from both parties. I think that debt also plays a big part, on what I've seen, the chart for Bangladesh's debt is on an uptrend til' 2028 based on statista.com.

I think that's happened in a lot of developing country, in one side opposition is good to watch the winning parties so that they are not corrupt, and don't do stupid thing. But on the other hand, they hinder the country development by denying all the good programs and idea by the winning side, even when the table turns on the next election, they prefer to start a similar project from zero rather than continuing the good project created by their opponent.

Not sure what happened to many of these governments. My country is also doing this shitty system, we have to undergo all these elections every cycle and we have to vote for all these politicians but do nothing on their terms.

If I have all the power. I'd import Xijingping into my country and let him do all the stuff and his fellow men over here and citizen can mind their own business while the government build all the things they can do without opposition to stop them. Since the time we got independence, we have spent more $funds on elections than building bridges to connect lands divided by rivers.

Bangladesh is supposedly a rich country with access to rivers and seas and all other resources from neighboring countries like India and Pakistan. They only need to cooperate with these countries.


530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: October 21, 2023, 03:43:25 PM
There are a lot of fights as always, but I'm going to watch Johnny Walker's fight against Magomed Ankalaev. That's because I've been watching videos of Johnny Walker's fights, as strange as it may seem, I watch it unintentionally, but leaving that aside. Johnny Walker is 31 years old and was born in Brazil, he is a fighter who has been working as a professional fighter for 10 years. This means that he has a 10-year career and in those 10 years of his career he had 28 fights, and of the 28 fights he managed to win 21 fights and lost in 7 fights. Johnny Walker's strong point is in striking. he has already managed to have 16 victories by knockout, this means that of the 28 fights he has had, more than 50% were victories by knockout.

he also has a detail that should not be forgotten, which is that 14 victories by knockout were in the first round, and he also had 3 victories by submission. on the other side we have Magomed Ankalaev who is being seen as the favorite for this fight, he has odds of @1.30 if he wins the fight, and as if everything points to his victory. He is 31 years old and was born in Russia. He has 9 years of professional career, and during these 9 years of professional career he managed to have 19 fights of which he managed to obtain 17 victories and lost once and drew once. He is also strong in striking. and he managed to obtain 9 victories by knockout, 8 victories were by decision.

my guess would go against the bookmakers, generally it's very difficult to beat the bookmakers in fights where the favorite fighter's scenario has odds below 1.35, but in this case I think it's Johnny Walker who, despite having odds of 4.00 and not being the favorite to win this fight, I still think he can win the fight. It won't be an easy task for him, but he might still be able to win.

He is a remarkable fighter. Some of his fights are pretty much you can remember how they end. While he can deliver great KOs, he also gave us one of his funniest KO lol https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cpDfM8gR_uo

But anyway, he always has a place in my mind whoever he fights with. Crazy why he agreed to fight Magomed but he may be inactive for a while if he ever pulls this out. Or fight whoever wins between Jiri and Alex.

Vote for him in my ufc 294 Multi Master Challenge.
13. Islam Makhachev
12. Khamzat Chimaev
11. Johnny Walker

The BTC ETF seems like giving hope to those investors waiting only for something to happen. And then there's SEC giving up the XRP lawsuit which is sort of a signal for those guys. Now whether this is just a fake bull run again or not it doesn't matter since those investors get in to hold.

I'm hoping this is the start of a bull run after all the halving is just months away and it seems like stimulus is coming once again. Signs are telling investors BTC will save us.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cross addictions is Just as Bad. on: October 20, 2023, 06:38:24 PM
Cross addictions can be bad, but they can also be good. You just need to find the negative things in your life and remove them while replacing them with positive things. People do this all the time in order to better themselves while ridding themselves of nasty habits. I think it can be a very healthy way to do things.

Yeah that most likely should work.For example you want to change career at some point because you are bored to death from your actual job and you quit gambling and buy quite some new courses on Udemy for the profession you want to change your career into it,this would be beneficial.

Cross addiction though is mostly related when you go from bad to worse,for example you go from gambling to alcohol and from alcohol to whores your life never seem to get on track again and as such it is a bad one,the above example is a good one which should be beneficial for the person.

You're just making it in the wrong direction though. What if the heroin addict turns to helm and then just gradually turns to cigarettes and then eventually just chewing gum? From bad to worse is also a cross-addiction. It's possible.

Say you have been into gambling for years then a cross addiction moving to chess tournaments. I've seen people addicted to chess. Maybe even gambling addiction to BTC trading which seems to be common here.

Apart from Tradingview do you know any other site where I can see Analysis/Trading Ideas of any technique (order flow, elliot waves, fibobox, chartism etc)?

And do you have any tips to know which are the best Trading Analysis/Signals/Trading Ideas from Tradingview ?

It seems that anyone can share their Analysis/Signals/Ideas on Tradingview....


From a trading point of view, that's fine with me; that's enough for me to somehow learn how to trade. After all, there are also many tools that can be used on the trading platform. So far, I have no problem using it.

Especially since I am making this a practice place to hone myself as a trader in the crypto space that I live in, and so far this fairdesk is quite easy to use because it is very smooth, to be honest, according to my experience here. I'm not promoting Fairdesk; I'm just saying he's pretty cool.

May I ask how many indicators can you add to your regular Fairdesk account?  I just learned about it and wanna try the charts as to whether we can use as many as 5 indicators without having to pay subscription.

@david678345 The exchanges like binance des have a platform where you can set up indicators and all. If are looking for some other sites, I think the Babypips will be a good option to learn some strategies.
535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: October 20, 2023, 04:43:04 PM
Imho Fury must, just must win this fight. Otherwise it would be a huge hit on boxing in general. It will be a case, when any guy can came from other combat sports to boxing and with half a year of training beat boxing champion. That is something unacceptable. Boxing champs must be defeated only by boxing champions, otherwise it will depreciate the value of boxing and heavyweight champs.
This is not the case where any regular guy can come from combat sports in boxing and defeat champions. He has to fight against Ngannou after all, he is not a regular fighter and he holds the world record for most powerful punch. But I would still say that there is no need to worry about Tyson Fury. He may even say that it's his disrespect to worry about him against Ngannou. Fury will win this match without doubt!

The two have something to fight for. Fury long against Francis can say goodbye to his undefeated record, legacy is on the line per se. Francis losing his boxing debut means no other boxing match for him after this. No one else such as Wilder will take him seriously if he loses against Fury. He will once again just stick to MMA in PFL which is an unknown platform to MMA fans.

Mike Tyson I think helped Francis gain more confidence, and with the motivation to make a ton of money in boxing he will do his best.

It did not say anything about OKX or WhiteBIT acknowledging whether they tracked the user or allowed the hacker to withdraw from them.  The hacker isn't as smart as a real hacker for he only took XRP of all coins to steal. 

He must be a believer of XRP tech which influencers lied about its Roblox integration. So much hype about XRP and he thought, it was the future. $6M is big though.

Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?
Yes of course, I won't sacrifice the love because of gambling. If the consequence is to high like having a deep argument or broking up because of gambling, I wouldn't risk it. It will just stop doing gambling or try to negotiate with my wife because we all know that gambling isn't something that you can quit instantly if you are playing it regularly or it is part of your entertainment. I think slowing down or slow quitting will do until you quit gambling.

It will take an understanding partner to understand that you plan to leave gambling slowly. Otherwise, most partners will like you to leave it instantly as per their demand. One of my friends denied the request that he will not leav gambling and it resulted in lot of fights initially. However, with time , she also understood that he is not risking a lot of money in this and they are a happy couple now. He still gambles sometimes but the frequency is reduced in comparison to earlier times because of marital responsibilities.

Men are just trying to make their wives think they are in control of their husbands' life but in the end, it's always men. They are just lucky because men also love the kids and don't want to compromise the kid's future. Husbands will say yes, he'd forget gambling but the husbands will get smarter every time and will just do it while the waves are not around.

I don't think people will change after getting married. Beleive it or not, you are still you since the time when you are a teen, you don't even feel a different you after 30 years.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much do you Value your Privacy in Gambling? on: October 20, 2023, 12:50:57 PM
If you gamble in a centralized casino where you need to sign up or open an account, it's mean you're already share your identity, at least your IP address, email address, username and the Bitcoin address you use.

The only way to stay anonymous during gambling is the site is supporting Tor, which I still not find such trusted casino that support Tor.

Would the IP, email, and username matter to the casinos or the KYC documents?

Because you can definitely just use someone else internet connection and throw away email for the purpose of playing on casinos.  But sending government IDs is totally different from what KYC files for they can know exactly where you live and even your siblings. I'm sure many of us are not ready to share those info but because they are not very conscious about it, some of us are just not minding it and send IDs.
539  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies: Pioneers of Freedom Amidst Financial Crisis on: October 19, 2023, 09:03:25 PM
What financial freedom somehow is different from the meaning they are saying. Sometimes it means that your BTC is yours and yours alone no one can take it from you.

While I also agree crypto is reshaping our financial landscape, privacy is something that is to be considered in a critical situation. It's getting harder for crypto users to be off the grid when all platforms today are asking for KYC. Once you have data sent, I guess you already have compromised privacy and we in crypto have had fewer options.

He's a billionaire. Twitter was just less than a billion and he is a BTC investor who is also fighting against the SEC, we're not seeing him fall. If anyone sees the first his Tesla price is falling, it's him. and He may have done something already before that happened. Since he is a BTC investor as well, he could be taken advantage of all these too.

But he folds by the way when the EU threatened his Twitter to be blocked in the region. Not so much of a rebel that he wants to portray.
