Gambling is not gonna increase the holding. For some time period it looks successful, but in the long run it surely ends with the loss. Good is to hold or make yourself good with the trading. Have better learning about trading, it'll make you understand well about the market and increase the volume in the wallet. With trading the profitability depends completely on the volume available for trading. More the volume, bigger will be the profit as well as the risk associated. Apart trading everything is much risky and depends on luck factor.
582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 15, 2023, 10:03:47 PM
I'm from the United States and as many of you know whom aren't from here, football (soccer as we call it) is really not all that popular.  It is as a kids game in grade school and high school, but on a professional level it's just not even close to our main pro sports.  What I'm wanting to ask, being someone who's not real well versed, why is FIFA allowed to remain in place as it has?  I mean everyone on the planet knows FIFA is as corrupt as it can possibly get...can't something be changed here??
There used to be dominance from some people or certain country. How does this happen, just with the share of money. Every event hosted by FIFA on investigation gets identified with the involvement of corruption. The latest being the Qatar hosting the world cup, where it is said that big money have been used to bribe the officials. This have been a long story that gets continued. Before Qatar there is investigation that Russia bribed the officials to host the 2018 Men's World Cup. Whether there is change in the persons or the policies, whatever there'll be corruption forever.

I used to spend in such a way that my daily life doesn't get affected out of the losses. What I spent is something that can be used for so many needs, but the interest on gambling drives me and makes me part of gambling. Anything that cause you some financial problem needs to be stopped. There are people who set limits as $20 for a month and so on, such allocation is better than just gambling.

It's sad to see Karim hat trick went in vain. After performing well in ODI series, Afghanistan had a good start of T20 series also. Its a win for Bangladesh but credit goes to Afghanistan for giving there best. Bangladesh need to perform well in coming T20 matches against Afghanistan otherwise they may lose this series too. Afghanistan are also going into ODI world cup and they can do some major upsets there.
Afghanistan tried really well and also gave a good target to Bangladesh. I will appreciate the Bangladesh team too because they fight till the second last ball and fortunately won the match too. 155 runs was a good target. And Muhammad Nabi made 54 runs with not out tag. And in the Bangladesh team no one made fifty runs. By the way match was interesting.
The batting from Afghanistan is good, and with their best bowling line-up the team kept Bangladesh under control. It is Hridoy who took the match towards the win. Afghanistan tasted the win and missed it. Final over had some unexpected moments. The boundary coming out of the first and fifth ball is the turn of the match. As usual Rashid Khan bowled well with the best bowling economy. Maybe match scenario could've got changed.

Because if it's just some little fraction like $50 or $100, you know it will just be some little profit it can incur during a bull market. Also, I would like to add that if you think she is really interested in Bitcoin, then you should educate her about it because it could also be profitable to her. Perhaps if she's working, she might want to invest in Bitcoin too.
It will only get a little profit, the OP just said it is a small gift and $50 - $100 Bitcoin is a gift that cannot have a big profit in the long run. 

I would say that it's just a starter to introduce Bitcoin investment.
I once gave $50 Bitcoin to my nephew and it grew to over $100.

I provide education about Bitcoin and crypto and how to trade.
It will be better than just giving a gift that they don't understand.
The amount is very small and the same will bring small profit to the receiver. However the step taken is really appreciable and the receiver will be able to understand how the market variation takes place with bitcoin. Also the price have changed, which will let her understand the basic of trading.

Whats been shared is really good and this could've made atleast few users of our forum to gift bitcoin to the close ones.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: July 14, 2023, 11:50:17 PM
It depends, because I never set any part of my income to be spend on gambling. I used to gamble with my week's pay and the choice is to make an addition of $10 to the payment. In the process I used to loss most of the time. At times I win the predicted $10 and my gambling activity doesn't gets broken and it gets continued. This leads to big win as well as loss my week's pay. So, there is no perfect limit on spending.
587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: July 14, 2023, 11:47:15 PM
Bangladesh was careless in the ODI series and the same had costed them big to experience an unforgettable loss of series. Now they're very careful and played the match in a well planned manner amidst the wickets falling at regular intervals. Afghanistan is really good at its performance, and no down to Bangladesh is batting and bowling. Close fight and Bangladesh won the match, maybe the next match can go into the hands of Afghanistan if this kind of game continues.

Cost of living have the direct impact over the middle class and the lower middle class people. Everything have risen, governments could atleast take action to keep the food prices under control. This could help in overcoming a major issue. Due to the rise in the price of food, people have reduced their food intake and some have reduced the meals per day. This is really hard and they don't have choice. It is the government that needs to understand what needs the priority and do it.
589  Economy / Economics / Re: Agriculture can save your country from recession on: July 13, 2023, 11:41:49 PM
A country that produces its own food and has enough to export can hardly be defeated by war, famine, disease outbreak.
It is just the fact, and the countries who are experiencing the recession in toll have more reliance on foreign produce.
Kenya is undergoing a major riot because of this same recession that has seen interest rate hike to 8%, if such a country were more agriculturally inclined, I don't think any hungry individual would raise a placard to riot against being overly fed.
More countries need to consider agriculture mostly mechanized and decentralized platforms which bothers on opportunities of cryptocurrency, as solutions to economic hardship brought about by over reliance on government jobs/contracts/employments and imports of foreign produce as food source.
When a country is able to fulfill its important need, automatically the government is able to focus much on more productive activities. This makes the economy of the government to be progressive than declining over time. Every government have got the ability to fulfill their country's food needs by their country people. It doesn't happen overnight, may take little time, but it is possible and a healthy thing in all means.
590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it Advisable joining Bitcoin signal group? on: July 13, 2023, 10:47:03 PM
Everything is much focused on money making. Whenever I come across signal providing groups that have premium to be paid there used to have a thought why this guy is selling the signals, why can't he use and make himself rich. With trading it is always good to learning more things about the market is really interesting.

Trading have got some sort of risk associated with bitcoin price movement. When someone is good, automatically there'll be better understanding about the market movement and support request.
591  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are altcoins important? on: July 10, 2023, 11:59:10 PM
Altcoin important if the altcoin bring something new like litecoin ( faster transactions ), dash ( anonymous ), or ethereum ( smart contract ). If it does not add any new feature or if the feature can be easily added to bitcoin network it means the altcoin is useless.
Beyond this there is difference between a single asset and multiple choice in the market. Just think of bitcoin, it'll continue to move on its path. The existence of altcoins give the bitcoin high competence. There are altcoins that give better profitability against the profit generated out of bitcoin. It is all about the competence and the trust factor that requires the altcoins.

As stated different cryptocurrency have got varied features. Users who have got specific need can choose that one that suits their needs. Different altcoins in the market also kind of choice available for investment.
592  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter on: July 10, 2023, 11:42:28 PM
Do you think Threads will be a serious competitor of Twitter? People are eager to try new apps but also some old habits don't change easily.
I feel like Twitter was a dying place way before Threads and now they have to compete with them. Maybe the real fight between Musk and Zuckerberg is this one.
Absolutely, this should be one of the real fights that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are planning. The fight will be about who controls and is more influential than the others in the social media world.  Threads upon against Twitter.

The primary Twitter rival at the moment is Thread. It already has millions of users who have registered. That ought to be a good indication that Twitter should be aware that a formidable rival has challenged her and has the advantage of operating without fees in comparison to her. Even yet, it will take some time for Thread to catch up to Twitter. But We'll bet to wait and watch if Threads becomes more popular than Twitter in the coming years.

Threads is real competence to Twitter. Meta could've made plans about threads long back and kept it confidential. All of the sudden launched threads, if this had been revealed earlier Elon Musk might've worked on some changes. Anyhow the real competence is here. Twitter have got more than a billion users whereas threads have reached more than 50 million users within the few days of its launch. Lets see how good things were happening with these two. The premium that needs to be paid for Twitter and other paid services will have some cut in the price in the upcoming months so to keep its users than moving to the threads with more features.
593  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is ageing and old people part of bitcoin? on: July 10, 2023, 11:12:47 PM
Op, I want to draw your attention to something, age is just a number, what matters here as an aged person within the age bracket of 70, or 80 and 90 is being mentally strong. Think about yourself with the experience you got now with modern technology in terms of the use of smartphones and PCs, if age will be a problem during your old age operating smartphones or any advanced technology in the future?.
Bitcoin is meant for everyone to use so far you can understand it.
Agreed, age is just a number. Based on the age we cannot segregate the usage of bitcoin and whom should use it. Ageing is common and we're not an exception. Nowadays no parent in their 70, 80, and 90's complaint that their children were using internet. Most people know well that the world have changed and internet is driving the World. Most of the parents who doesn't know to operate a computer feels proud that their son/daughter is using it and working on it. Also it is common that people getting used to the innovation of the era.

The match between Hurkacz and Djokovic is very close. These days we were able to see players in the lower order able to give the best competence. After a very hard fight Djokovic have won the first set 78-66. It looks like the second set will move to tie breaker. All the top seeds are on the competence. Hope this tournament will be very competing as Tsitsipas, Medvedev, Alcaraz, Rune were on the list.
Djokovic is currently leads 2-0 and the match must temporarily suspended and resumed today. Hurkacz is quite good on grass that's why he can put up a tough fight and not let his opponent break his game, even though his ranking is not in the top 10 but he was against Djokovic a few years ago in R32 and managed to take a set, and when the match resumes there are big chances for Hurkacz to take the set from Djokovic because that will change the match.

The seeded players will compete today to be able to move on to the quarterfinals.
Eubank will be Tsitsipas' next tough challenge and I think the American has a chance to beat the top seed, both have good serves so a lot of aces to come.
Alcaraz vs Berrettini, the Italian player seems to have found his rhythm again. Surprising results may occur where Berrettini defeats the first seed, but Alcaraz has progressed quite far here, a match running 5 sets is very possible even though the odds are on Alcaraz

The third set is going on right now. The first two sets were taken by Novak Djokovic. But the match has been really close so far. Novak Djokovic had to work really hard to get each set. In the third set, Hurkacz is ahead by 4-3. But we know Djokovic. He can still make this set a win for him. We know he is very good with comebacks. But even if this seat does go to Hurkacz I don’t think it is going to be a loss for Djokovic in this match.

Much deserved win for Hurkacz, the points were scored consecutively and Hurkacz got a break point opportunity at the final moment and he used it well. It is really great winning against Djokovic 7-5 with points at the level till 5-5. Now Djokovic will fasten the match and win it at the earliest, same time Hurkacz could've gained some confidence to play better win the fourth set unlike the winning.
Finally the match is being won by Djokovic 78-66 78-66 5-7 6-4. It is known that Djokovic will be the king of the match at the end. In between giving an opportunity is his style, and Hurkacz played really well.

One of the top seed have got eliminated from Wimbledon. What a match, particularly the final set where Eubanks won the break point and leads the third set. Tsitsipas got an opportunity and won the break point to level 3-3. Soon after that once again Eubanks got a break point and he did it well and kept the lead and won the set 6-4. Final point set by set : 3-6 77-64 3-6 6-4 6-4

Finally England able to book victory over Australia in j this Ashes series. Australia batting in this match was not too good like they played in previous two matches. I think England bowlers now find the key to take quick wickets. Harry brook inining was interesting one. The way he played was just like ODI. His fantastic 75 of 93 gives england score speed to chase target easily. Now Series is 2-1 and next gane will be interesting one and both team will be enter in the ground with new strategy.
The roar that went up throughout the stadium after finishing the innings with a last-ball four was something to really enjoy, which is why the England vs Australia Ashes series is so lovable. The entire stadium was on its feet when England came so close to victory and the excitement of the crowd whenever a boundary brought the team back into the series was truly a sight to behold. England will have a huge confidence boost with a win in the third match and a win like that will always boost confidence in the next match. England's third match win against Australia was not that big but it will go down as one of England's most important victories.
The home ground support is very big. After losing two matches that are close to win, and winning the third match is a big moment for the England team as well as the supporters of the team. As stated every win gives the confidence and boost the performance, and the fourth test match is going to be a tough fight and a much interesting one as Australia will fight to win the series and England on its race to level the series. There won't be much of changes in the squad from both the teams.

The match had resumed and the competence continues. Consecutive points coming between the two. If this continues even the third set will move to the tie breaker. Top seeded ones were experiencing big fight from the opponents.

In the match between Eubanks and Tsitsipas, both have won a set and the third set is in progress. First set was an easy win for Tsitsipas and Eubanks won the second set on a tie breaker 77-64.

For now Medvedev alone have registered an easy win against Lehecka 6-4 6-2. Medvedev announced as the winner as Lehecka announced walkover before the start of the third set.

Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women
The second match of the Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women T20 series has started today. New Zealand Women won the toss and elected to bowl. Batting after losing the toss, Sri Lanka women collected 14 runs in 3 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. New Zealand women won the first match by 5 wickets. If New Zealand Women win the match today, the series will be won. Both teams will try to play well in today's match. Let's see which team can win today.
Sri Lanka Women's team has already lost their 5 wickets due to which they could not score much runs in the match. Hasini Perera, the great batsman of the Sri Lanka women's team, might have increased the runs of Sri Lanka if she had not been out. But right now the New Zealand women's team has put in a very good bowling performance due to which they have put Sri Lanka under pressure. Today will surely be an exciting game between the two teams and whoever can play well in this game will win the series. And at this moment, Sri Lanka women's team collected 88 runs and lost 5 wickets in 17 overs. Today surely Sri Lanka and New Zealand women's team will have to show good performance to win the series but they can win the series but it is very difficult to say which team will win the series.

I would not say that the Sri Lanka women's team is too weak. However, compared to New Zealand, the Sri Lankan team is quite weak. And the New Zealand team was the favorite in this match. New Zealand is probably third in the women's T20 cricket ranking and Sri Lanka's position is probably eighth.
The match was completely one-sided. Sri Lanka set a target of just 119 runs. The New Zealand batsmen were batting very responsibly from the beginning of the innings. Had they batted aggressively, they would have reached the target of victory in 15-16 overs. The three batsmen in the top order batted well. And in 18.4 overs the New Zealand team reached the target of winning by losing 2 wickets.
Sri Lanka team isn't getting better playing more and more matches. Sri Lanka Women team to score 118 runs is really good, little by little the average will increase. Playing few more T20 series we will be able to see Sri Lanka Women team average close to 150 runs. For now England, Australia, India, and New Zealand Women team are with better average. 118 runs reached just with the loss of two wickets is a good performance. New Zealand Women team have followed the stable scoring mechanism than just speeding to win the match at the shortest.

Altcoins always follow the bitcoin market. All of the sudden Bitcoin dominance slows down and we can see the dominance of altcoins moving high which means the altcoins season have begun. By the time of altcoin season we were able to experience better rise in the market of altcoins. When we invest into altcoins, we should be good enough observing the market and select the right one to invest or we need to be lucky to invest on something potential.

The term itself have the word luxury which means it is something that is being used by elite group of people. The luxury things used by people were demanding among the specific group of people. So, the value of the product won't be so demanding and the price won't appreciate much with time. The better choice is always bitcoin, and the luxury watches weren't good choice of investment.

Luxury Watches were considered as investment by people who had good sum of amount after meeting all their needs. In my understanding when there is inflation hard hit around the world, people will be thinking about the survival and not about the luxury holdings. It is all between the different class of people.
