This is my standpoint as well. If you know you are a person who lacks discipline and can easily get addicted to gambling, you should stay totally away from it. I think that there is a genetic and environmental predisposition towards gambling addiction.

Another people in this category is anyone who is already experiencing the symptoms of gambling. They should also stay away from it too.

However there are people who have been able to follow healthy gambling practices and have successfully stayed outside the perimeter of gambling addiction.

Tim Gurner is not alone in this. We have CEOs all over the counties of the world with just the same mindset about their employees. This is the reason why I encourage self-employment or the type where you are not committed to just one organization. And yes, these organizations can achieve their organizational dreams and goals without these types of staff. Employees should not be committed to an organization where the CEO is bent on making himself "fatter" while the employees labour their life's, health, happiness, relationships , dreams and career away.

I don't think there is hate speech in Bitcoin or against Bitcoin. I just see it that there are people with opposing opinion which is just what it is. It cannot be classified as a hate speech in my opinion. I choose to see it people don't like Bitcoin and so their so called "hate-speech about Bitcoin is just a result of lack of understanding.

Yes we do, especially the adrenaline rush when we take on a huge gambling risk. That is the fun and the entertainment that comes from it.

There should be more awareness about gambling create. More people will become gamblers and if it is not controlled we my have a pandemic on our hands to deal with. Awareness is best to sensitize the public especially the young ones who are the easiest to become gamblers.

I know that journalist are too lazy these days to conduct thorough investigation before writing an article. Therefore, they decide to Write nonsense. Whatever altercations there was between the man and is wife has to connection with Bitcoin. It may even be that the man is dealing with anger issues and has been that hostile towards his wife. Definitely can't be Bitcoin. I don't believe them.

Wars and conflict can prevent an individual from hodling. If war or conflict broke out in the country in which you reside in you may be unable to hold bitcoin for a long time because of the humanitarian crisis that may arise during this time and you may be forced to sell your bitcoin to resolve it.

Natural disasters: some weeks ago the country of Turkey was hit by an earthquake. This may be one of the challenges that can deprive a person from holding bitcoin for long-term. When natural disasters strike it leaves people devastated both psychological e and financially thereby affecting their determination or ability to hold for long term.

I think that Satoshi and Hal Finney would be proud. Bitcoin has come a long way since 2009. And after 14years, bitcoin is one of the top preforming assets, it has not lost its vision of decentralization, the community is growing from just a group of people talking about it on the computer over the internet to millions of people adopting it and using it to escape oppressive regimes, for personal economic purposes and all. I think that they would be proud about the speed at which we can now send bitcoin from one wallet to another as compared to the time it took the bitcoin sent during their time to get to another wallet. They would be proud of the many bitcoin security measures in place. They would be proud that individuals in the community are owning the project and speaking about it. There are some other things that they may not be so proud of like too like the saboteurs in the community, who seek to lead us astray with their manipulations and gimmicks.

Yes, correct. No matter what investment strategy an individual has chosen, the security of his crypto asset should be equally important as the person who chooses to hold.

There would always be those people who the instruction or appeal to not leave their funds in exchanges because of the inherent dangers would fall on deaf ears but there is nothing we can do than to allow them learn from personal experience which they say is the best teach.

I think that there are two ways people learn about how to secure their bitcoins; they either learn it by choice or by force. By Choice I mean they dedicate time to learning about bitcoin best security practices before any security incidence. By force, I mean they learn about how to secure their bitcoin after their wallet is hacked. So they quickly learn about it to prevent future hacks.

Social media is an unreal place where people lie about just about anything. And it is easy for them to get away with it because it cannot be verified. In sports gambling where naive and greedy gamblers are drawn into several signal groups by bet slips, testimonials, and others. The story always remains the same if you naively follow those people who display their winning slips on social media, you will lose. They are not genuine people. I see how they shut down people who oppose them and call out their scams. As a sports gambler it will pay you well if you do not depend on these people, try and get your game your self instead of looking to them. 

Casinos definitely have its benefits to the society. And the first benefit is that if you have a casino is a tourist attraction area of the country, people from outside of your locality bring money into the locality when they visit and play at the casino. What does this revenue do, well the casino pays their taxes which in turn helps finance government activities which include public works and services such as roads and schools, or programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

In the society, casinos also help to create jobs for people in the society. Some of these job positions in a casino are casino dealers, slot machine attendants, cage cashiers, security personnel, bartenders, waitstaff, hosts/hostesses, slot technicians, pit bosses, floor supervisors, surveillance operators, casino managers/general managers, marketing and promotions staff, accountants and financial analysts, human resources personnel, entertainment and event coordinators, customer service representatives, housekeeping and maintenance staff, IT and technical support, compliance and regulatory staff, VIP hosts and players club representatives, restaurant chefs, and cooks.

Gambling, extremely gambling that is compulsive has adverse consequences on the gambler and everything in and around him. The gambler doesn't immediately notices the damage that their compulsive gambling is causing until it is almost too late to be able to salvage the situation. Do not gamble with what you cannot afford to lose. Set aside at least 1%, at most 2% of your monthly income for gambling each month. That way, you would be able to meet your other financial responsibilities without failing and keep your relationship too. When these and other things are not adhered to it leaves a crack in the relationship and could destroy it.

Someone on the forum wrote about the importance of acquiring knowledge about Bitcoin first before investing. The question which the OP.has posed to us is a reflection of that thread. The only newbies are who are not just afraid of the bear market but of the FUD are the ones without proper knowledge.

Those newbies who aren't afraid are the ones who through their knowledge have developed their a well-thought-out investment strategy, diversification, risk management, and understanding that bear market and bull market are all a part of the crypto cycle.

For foreigners who include tourists and expats who are from countries where they already have a Double Tax Agreement in place, they will be exempted from this taxation rule. The reverse is the case for foreigners who not already taxed in their country.

Thailand is just taking advantage of their influx of people and not these people would move to the next location. There is no need to tax them since there is already tax on the things they buy like groceries, autos, meals at restaurants, etc. What real value does Thailand offer these foreigners that would make them say more than 180 plus days.

One of the most powerful words that resonates strongly among bitcoiners is the word "HODL". This word describes our undying faith in bitcoin's past, present and future potential. In the bitcoin community, there are those who have been holding for a long-term and also those who have just started hodling because they are moved by the fast approaching halving event in 2024. As we are holding bitcoin we should be vigilant because hackers and scammers tirelessly seek opportunities and loopholes to steal your bitcoin. Therefore, it is not enough to hold but HODL WISELY.



There are more than one thousand ways to HODL bitcoin. In fact, as of 2022 there were about 2,790 Bitcoin-related applications are available on the Google Play Store while Apple Store had about 651 such apps. To add to this there are 288 hardware wallets and 44 bearer tokens in circulation, all of there telling you that they are able to secure your bitcoin holdings

Don't just hold but hodl wisely and securely.

Free spins are real. And they are used by online casinos to attract new customers. You can win win real money from them too. And their outcomes largely depends on luck just with the regular spins. Whenever an online casino offers me a free spin or any other incentives that I didn't exchange money for, I do not get too excited or comfortable with it. I do not take it as seriously as I do with other spins.

In the past one may be gambling with reckless abandon but right now, that would be a stupid thing to do.

Every gambler must who desires to be successful must be intentional about it. Their approach and attitude towards gambling should not be governed by spontaneity but by a well-thought out strategy which would include creating a budget, having an spreadsheet to record how much they spend on gambling and other healthy habits that would help protect the finances of the gambler.

Tim Gurner is a capitalist. He is one of the people who should be used to cite example of how bad capitalism is. Imagine if there were no labor unions, this man would literally work his employees to death because he wants them to bring him money.

This is exactly how those financial elites think, all they dream and scheme about is how to increase the desperation level of the workers. They make their employees suffer to exist in a multi-trillion dollar economy.

Most of the opinions from these crypto influencers are not reliable because they don't have the years of experience in the space to be able to give any sound advice. That is why you often find them repeating what most analysts are saying and some are creating hype to pump and dump. Once in a blue moon, they may drop some solid advice but still, be cautious and do your own research very well before taking their advice. Those who didn't have lost a fortune.

Easy win because it was a one-sided match in favor Roma. Empoli needs to change their defensive players and their goal keeper. The two players that stood out in the match for me were, Renato Sanchez, and Cristante. The duo of Lukaku and Dybala showed promise in the match, I believe that they could pose a threat to even stronger opponents. Well this an important win for the team as it has boosted their confidence. In future games, we would like to see a more stable performance from them.
