541  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Count down to Bitcoin halving. on: December 08, 2023, 02:23:30 PM
It would also be nice to keep track of the halving count down and activities...
A countdown runs to zero, it indicates an action is meant to take place after the countdown elapses. What is the countdown meant for? Keeping track of when the halving is meant to happen can help you maintain discipline and stay more committed to gathering more bitcoins for yourself since you know how limited the time is. But should the Halving be the target to hold bitcoins up to? NO!

There is a life after the halving, a life where bitcoins will still exist, we also have to plan on what action we will take during the halving to ensure we still have bitcoin after.

Walk away, Take your winnings, go!"
If you are caught on camera telling clients to walk away and take their winnings, you may loose your job as it may be seen as you chasing away the customers from the business, remembering that your win is the casino or gambling house's loss, and your loss is their win.

If you however say this
"It is very admirable to know when to stop"
It is very much better because it is more appropriate and shows customer concern. It will not easily be misinterpreted to mean that you are chasing the customers away.

Salah's really playing like a midfielder this season. He did get a lot of goals so far, but he's a lot more further from goal than I initially thought he'd be.

He was furious that he was replaced yesterday, but he did play a shitty game. Hopefully he improves, but he'll need to be transferred out soon anyway.
Salah is not as young as he was, At his age, some players were no longer able to even be of any effect on their teams. He was scoring at some point in the season, but now contributing more in games like a midfielder. He is fast approaching his end as a player for Liverpool because if things continue like this, he will consider a fresh challenge in Saudi Arabia where he is a hot target.

Bad week for many of my players who gave me good points last week.
544  Economy / Economics / Re: Do brands that take sides on divisive issues lose market share? on: December 07, 2023, 08:13:10 PM
would this have happened with smaller brands? Read what this article found out.
Small brands need the attention to trend and get more attention, so activism is a good way for them to achieve it. Activism for them only has the potential of increasing their audience from the attention they get from either good or bad comments and campaigns. As a brand or business gets bigger and it's customer base mature, care has to be taken on the stance taken on many divisive issues because by then you already have an audience and should want to guard them jealousy and not take actions that will result in loosing them.
545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Looking to sell a computer to raise money to invest in Bitcoin. on: December 07, 2023, 07:34:08 PM
Is selling a computer the right decision?
It will either be the right decision or the wrong one depending on what the computer is currently been used for. If it is a computer that has an important use and is used to fetch you money, It is not a good decision to sell it off. Buying a new one always cost more. If it is a computer that is just laying around used for unimportant things like just watching movies, selling it off to raise money for bitcoin will be a right decision. Selling off your property should be the last way you should think off to use in raising money.
546  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID is dead, "long live the new COVID". World economy get ready? on: December 07, 2023, 12:00:16 AM
1. The world economy and population has not yet everywhere moved away from the covid and events of 2022, and ... a new global pandemic awaits us ?  Your opinion - what and how to prepare for ?
Another new pandemic will be very terrible, It will not only affect  how can we prepare for it?

Number one is to stay healthy because from observation of the last pandemic, the people who were healthy had an advantage over others who were more susceptible with respiratory diseases and others. If it is possible for you, you can start planning for a secluded settlement away from people and then buy and keep safe food items, health items, and some other survival supplies.   
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos and gamblers are struggling with high tx fees.? on: December 06, 2023, 11:44:48 PM
do people still gamble with these high tx fees?
The high Tx fee may only be able to discourage gamblers who are not core gamblers, The core gamblers will always find a way around it so they can keep gambling. Some of them may not even consider the high tx fees because they cannot afford to not gamble. This can be a sign of secondary addiction, which is a kind of problem.

Asides the high Tx fee, they is also the fact that bitcoins value is increasing and many hodlers will remain unwilling to want to take risks with gambling with the bitcoins they have.

I have just enough money to do it, and also if Mbeumo rises tonight then I will also be able to upgrade him to Saka next week (I'm tired of losing points to everyone else for not having Saka).
I had Saka, big regrets whenever I see him play and remember that I do not have him. In games where he does not score, he usually will register an assist. It is only in few games that he blanks.

I got some points from Palmer from his very good goal. The former Manchester city reserve players talking about Sterling and Palmer are contributing a lot to Chelsea, and sometimes even more than their record signings.
549  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading advice for newbies on: December 05, 2023, 06:37:17 PM
Another trading advice?

1. Learn about the volatile market
2. Learn how to analyze chart
This two are the same to me. Trading involves a lot of learning from when you are new to when you become older in trading. When new it requires learning,  when old it requires a lot of unlearning and relearning. Learning never stops.

3. Take your time to practice demo trading before going into real trading.
Take your time, but not too much time. Trying to get everything right before starting to trade can take forever, you will never learn some things if you do not trade live on the market.

4. Do not be greedy, take profit when it’s best to do that, do not hope to get the whole world at a time.
Take profit, but not too early and not too late.
550  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $40k Price Target Achieved on: December 05, 2023, 04:16:22 PM
On 7th June, 2023 I posted on my TradingView and even here on Bitcointalk that Bitcoin is ready for the next move i.e. to reach $40k.
And it finally happened this week. Bitcoin price is clearly at $41k and it took 168 Days or 24 weeks for the target to be achieved.
There were many resistance to this price, that is why it took so long for the 40k mark to be breached. From the charts too, we look to be having an upward trend with many buyers than sellers. IMO, I expect the bullish trend to continue because of how much everyone is looking forward to next year for bitcoins. Even if there appears some kind of draw back in the price at some point like things bearish, ignore it. It is a general believe that everyone expects bitcoins to do well next year, so it is affecting people making them buy more bitcoins.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Include Or Always Include Gambling In Your New Year's Resolution on: December 04, 2023, 04:22:15 PM
My question do you include gambling in your new resolution, and what's your New Year's resolution about gambling?
Resolutions require extra level of discipline to keep, It is like an agreement between you and the future, but you do not need to wait until the new year starts before you do away with habits you do not want next year. Today is a good time to start so by the new year when making the resolutions, it will be easier to keep.

Luckily for me, I am a very responsible gambler, so my resolution on gambling will be to try as much as I can to remain responsible gambling next year.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sympathetic gamblers looses itself on: December 04, 2023, 03:35:55 PM
They are basically to believe one who lost $20 has lost more to them who looses $10.
This is an example of ''Misery loves company".

A gambler who looses and compares his losses to the losses of another gambler is only trying to find consolation by fooling themselves. If there is a chance that he is better than the other gambler who has lost more, it is only when they are both in the same financial level, and earn around same amount. For another gambler who earns more, and has lost more than you who earns less and have lost less, you are not the same.
553  Economy / Reputation / Is forum reputation enough to influence mixers? on: December 03, 2023, 10:26:10 PM
Since mixers will be soon be rejected on the forum due to the heat they are bringing from the government, do you think that the reputation of the forum and the rejection of these mixers from the forum will be enough to force them to change the way they mix their coins?

Cunha's amazing goal caused me to lose clean sheet points.
Would have been another good week for Saliba, but he picked up a yellow card which is not normal for him, and then Zichenko's mistake of overthinking and looking for who to pass to when he should have just cleared the ball. Cunha took the shot well, Raya had no chance.

I think that Arsenal needed to win the match in which they played very well.
We started well, but later relaxed. Two goals is not always enough to win games, I could hear my heartbeat as soon as Wolves equalized because I know they are a pest to big teams.

Nothing serious with Watkins but Nunez sounds like a better deal with easy fixtures honestly.
I had to choose between Isak and Nunez, I had to go with Nunez. I hope he doesn't just give me shots on targets.

By the end of this GW, I want to see myself in top 20 and heading up. Smiley

 
556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CASHOUT OR NOT???? on: December 01, 2023, 05:28:05 PM
Please guys I need your advice, the first game starts in a couple of hours and I still can't decide on what to do right now.
You played the bet to win, and you are winning. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush, this is a popular proverb. Take what you have won, and be thankful for it. It will hurt more to loose it all, than to loose some. Evaluate your motives, because in this case it is a thin line between greed and risk. This is the festive season, and that amount of money will do a lot for you, and help you sort out many expenses that this season often brings without having to tamper with any amount of bitcoins that you have kept. You will not be a p*ssy to cashout now.

Cash out, and play the other games.
557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Javier Milei just won the presidentiial election in Argentina on: December 01, 2023, 04:43:52 PM
Libertarian candidate Javier Milei has just won as the next president of Argentina.  He apparently likes BTC.  This is good news for us in Bitcoinland, but also good for Argentina (assuming he governs as he said he would).
I hardly trust politicians, difficult to see one who sticks to his words and promises just after they successfully get into office. They all seem to somehow change.

 If this new president of Argentina is one different and someone who is credible, then we should expect better days ahead for bitcoins in Argentina which will also have a sort of general effect on the price. It will not happen easily because there will be lots of obstacles still for him to surpass to really make bitcoins mainstream in Argentina. It can happen, but may not happen as soon as we expect.

Government 1:0 Bitcoin community
Not a good feeling to be on the loosing side currently, but I think it is better to loose this battle and win the war. It would not have been an easy decision to be taken by Theymos, but it is better we let this go than this forum that has been a great community hub.

Seeing how we have bulged under this pressure from the government, I am forced to now wonder if bitcoins can really win the government in this wr for privacy?
559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why sports betting? on: November 30, 2023, 07:36:20 PM
With hundreds or probably thousands of games online, I'd like to ask why would you choose sports betting?
Most people who play sports betting watch the sport and are very big fans of it. Some of them will not enjoy the game if they do not bet on it, this has become the situation of most gamblers who sports bets. As a challenge, when they plan to quit gambling, they will find it difficult because to them the trigger has become the sport and whenever they watch it. To stop gambling, they may have to give themselves some time away from viewing the sports.
560  Economy / Economics / Re: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset on: November 30, 2023, 07:01:56 PM
CONCLUSION
Since, ones mindset can be changed, it's better for one to develop a growth mindset towards all one's activities in life to achieve a great result. Develop a growth mindset toward all your goals today to improve on your business, studies, etc.
Do you know that there are many people who are okay with what they have already and the achievements they have made that they are not trying to grow and be better. There is a sense of relaxation about pursuing growth when someone become comfortable, comfort is a the wort addiction which can make you remain stunted. Growth is always expected, when someone gets to one level in life, instead of relaxing and getting lost in the comfort, there is a need to still be hungry for growth to another level.
