Coach Thomas Tuchel will be pleased that Bayern Munich got the three points but he will not also be comfortable with the player's performance. Bayern is not scoring goals as they used to and it is becoming disturbing. A club that has 22 shots on target and just scored just one goal is not a good result for a team with some of the best strikers in the world. I know it was not an easy game because Union Berlin defended so well that it was difficult to penetrate but this is not the Bayern we used to know. They have been struggling to win games and the coach is not taking responsibility.

Except Bayer Leverkusen drops four points in the future, Bayern Munich might have to settle for the second position. Ball possession or match dominance is good but getting the three points is more important. So the coach shouldn't work on the attack of Bayern to ensure they maximize the chances they create.

Bitwise has done well by voluntarily publishing its Bitcoin address holding and they have set a pace of transparency and openness. I also hope they will disclose more of their financial operations like how many shares have been acquired this is to ensure that they have enough funds to back it up. I also see this move as a marketing strategy to attract investors to the asset management firm. Maybe other asset managers might follow to prove that they are also accountable.

These centralised platforms could do anything just to prove that they are trustworthy. They could go as far as borrowing Bitcoin from other sources and transfer it to the address just to deceive investors. You will never know how dirty these companies are until they have problems. It is better to buy your coins directly and keep them in your wallet because you will never know what is happening behind the glamour more of these firms are showing.

OP your thread makes a lot of sense to me because I also faced the same fear. I usually check the people who have commented on a past before responding to his because I was scared of making mistakes. I was also scared of criticism since I felt that my comments might not be appropriate. But this fear didn't last for a long time because I began to build confidence.

The first thing I did was to avoid threads that I knew little or nothing about. This is to limit my probability of making mistakes. In some cases, I will read the comments of other members and do some research before commenting on a thread. The only way you can be confident in your post is when you are sure that you are contributing positively to the thread.

Knowing about Bitcoin early is not just important to me but the ability to believe in the coin and keep hodling it for a long time. Many people were lucky to acquire Bitcoin very cheaply but they ended up losing, wasting or even selling it before it became influential. So I have so much respect for people who kept their coin to date. I was not that lucky to be part of these old-timers but in a few years, many people will also call me a lucky person because of the extent Bitcoin might go. The message that we should keep holding looks insignificant but I think this is also the same message that was been spread a long time ago but many people failed to maximize their opportunity.

Before now Bitcoin was generally perceived by the mainstream financial system as a currency that is mostly used to finance crime. But these views have gradually changed over time and we have seen Bitcoin become acceptable by the governments of some influential nations. Before now, nobody believed that the SEC would ever approve the spot Bitcoin ETF because Bitcoin was highly associated with crime. Therefore, people might still be using it for criminal activities but the perception that it is majorly used for finance crime has changed.

Inter Milan will meet Roma on the tenth of February and not the next game. Roma's next game in the Seria A will be against Salernitana and from their five past meetings the host team have not won against Roma. They have played two draws while Roma won three matches. With the level of motivation from the last win, I think Daniele De Rossi might be able to lead the team to victory. Ending the league in the top five positions will be a big task for Roma but with dedication and fewer injuries, they might achieve it. If they can win the game against Salernitana and Cagliari they might have the opportunity of moving to sixth or fifth position. But the games against Inter will be the real test of the tactical capacity of De Rossi. A draw against Inter should be the sole target of Roma.

I have seen many merit source applications and I don't think anyone has been approved by Theymos. I think he is taking his time and might want to do a bulk approval. I also desire to see more merit sources because some of the old ones might not have been active. Good luck with your application.

---

The question is for OP but I think he mentioned some of the answers in the original post.
OP said the Turkish board is lacking merit sources and he has time to act in that capacity if given the opportunity.

The gambling board lacks merits flow, since he is an active gamble poster, we might start seeing the flow of merit in the gambling board if his application is approved.

The kind of gambling games a person chooses should be based on interest. Some people might not enjoy sports bets that's why they are sticking to slots. We shouldn't also push aside that gambling is not just for profit-making but also entertainment. But it will not be bad if you introduce him to sports betting if you think he has the experience and would have some advantage. But ensure you have the time to guide him properly to make him understand sports betting this is to avoid mistakes. But do you think sports betting has more advantages than slot games?  

I was also surprised when I heard that Saudi Arabia wants to join the BRICS nations since they have a very close diplomatic relationship with the US. The kingdom depends more on the US for security, so moving away from the dollars will have dire consequences. The country's minister of commerce Majid Al-Kasabi clarified that the Kingdom has been invited to attend BRICS summits which doesn't mean joining formally.

In almost all the news outlets that reported the news, the information was called a rumour. What makes it more unreliable is that it didn't emanate from any Saudi or Qatari government official but from Max Keiser. I wonder where he got the information since he didn't state the source of this information. But it is good news to the Bitcoin ecosystem to see rich economies like Saudi Arabia and Qatar having an interest in the currency. 

Comparing all the teams that are competing for the English Premier League I think Manchester City stands a better chance of winning the competition. They have one of the best and most experienced coaches who have enough players to select from. I recalled last season when Arsenal began to lose momentum due to injuries and other challenges, while City who was even competing for the UCL kept pushing until they overtook the Gunners. Liverpool is another team that will win the EPL if City fails to win it.

I don't think the Europa League is less tough than the Champions League. Don't forget that some clubs that were knocked out of the UCL will be moving to the Europa League which might make the competition tougher. I also think that the Europa Cup is very important to Liverpool, so they will do their best to win the competition. Arsenal has all it takes to compete favourably in the UCL and I predict that they will overcome Porto in the round of sixteen. There is no need to underrate Arsenal in the UCL because they could just be lucky this season.           

Claiming that CBDCs give the government full control over people's funds but attacking decentralised cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is hypocrisy. Donald Trump has never been a supporter of Bitcoin, so I see this comment as political to gain votes from mainly the youth. Trump will never promote decentralised platforms because every government wants to control the people's financial activities rather he would promote platforms like the FedNow Service to discourage people from using decentralised platforms.     

Except Donald Trump states the kind of currency he prefers to CBDCs this news is none of my business. If he is saying that CBDCs are dangerous, what is his alternative? Does he prefer Bitcoin or does he have another decentralised option?

Buying a house with Bitcoin has been happening especially in countries that are friendly to the currency. There are countries in which Bitcoin is a legal means of payment which means that it could be used to settle debt or for financial contract agreements. Accepting Bitcoin will also depend on the seller of the property if they are willing to accept it as a means of payment.

I don't know how it is safer to buy properties with Bitcoin because property documents will contain the identity of the buyer, which means it will not promote privacy. The property will still be subjected to taxes just like others, so it will not reduce taxation. It will be better to buy property in fiat if cryptocurrency is banned in your country because it is not recognised as a form of payment. The seller can easily claim that he didn't receive any payment from you since crypto is not a currency before the law of such a country.     

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.
