581  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Protect Your Crypto Seeds - Protect Yourself From $5 wrench attack on: January 21, 2024, 12:35:24 PM
Basically instead of doing any of this just don’t tell anyone how much crypto you have. Tell your family but don’t tell your friends. Word will get around and depending on what social circle you are in someone might try and steal it from you.

This is why all these influencers and OG bitcoin people who go all over YouTube and brag about their wealth are not smart, eventually someone might attack them and demand their bitcoins. This is no different than carrying a bunch of cash with you around.
Remember, even your family can tell to other people if you have Bitcoin, no matter how good you taught them about privacy.
Not all family members will understand the true bond of family, and what a family should be. Some family members have the potential to act as strangers sometimes, showing behaviors that you would never have expected.  Be as careful with family as you are with friends.

Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.
It is not everything that discipline solves in a child. Some African parents may go as far as spanking their children, but it does not solve the problem, and they do not know. These kind of children need serious mental rehabilitation from professionals who need to correct the problems mentally first.

Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?
Stealing is stealing and there is no justification for it, a good mother would be disheartened if the boy had won a multi million price because it is the same with if the boy suddenly came home one day with a bag full of money, and the money openly accepts the son with no questions.

I made a very wrong decision on a game I staked today and this is unlike me because I don't normally check on my games until its settled because sometimes you will tempted with some crazy things like cash-out which is what I did today and although you won't blame me to some extent but still if I was patient enough as the final results if the games came through and Instead of winning the whole money, I got only a fraction of the funds.
Look at it this this way as a mistake that you made with some profits not a mistake that you made and then lost all the profits that you should have made from the game. Although the lessons still remains that patience is important and key in gambling it is not always a mistake to cash out because you would have lost everything if you had not noticed that it was just some few games that was going to make you lose the whole money you were supposed.

There are some other games that are not built for patience in some sense like slots, virtual games etc. because it ends in a few minutes after you start gambling. Patience in that case is now to be careful and patient with spending, to be patient to wait to gamble another day and not continue after a win or lose.

Actually, the match went very tough for both teams, though each team tried their best, although with all that has happened in the game, the game has already ended in a 2-2 draw.
I consider it the most exciting game so far in the competition because of the many goals scored from both sides. Games like these give the AFCON a high rating because of the world class goals. Ghana were focused on attacking because they understood the strength they had in front with Kudus, they failed to remain defensive in their thinking like the Super Eagles were. Egypt lost Salah and that will be a big concern for them in this competition for very important games to come, and for Liverpool who would not want him to return injured.

Senegal against Cameroon today, two big countries in the African football, and I expect a more exciting game than Ghana against Egypt.
585  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: January 19, 2024, 07:18:12 AM
Well, I am not against casinos obtaining a license to operate, but what I have always wanted to know for sure is what does the licence do exactly?
Many a times, I see some gamblers advising other gamblers against playing on casino without licence, as such casinos may likely be a scam in pending, but still on several occasions, we have witnessed casinos with license shut down and ran away with money belonging to their users, and the issuer of their license did nothing to make sure that users get their hard earned money back, what then is the use or benefit of a licenced casino to gamblers.

Just as Poker Player mentioned that it is just for appearances, A license is only serious when you do not obtain it as a casino and then decide to just start operating, the government will take you that you are trying to be involved in illegal money laundering activity, or other scams, and then move to checkmate you, if not at the start of your business, maybe sometime later.

Some say that when a player have issues with a casino, he or she could report to the issuer of their license for such casino to be properly sanctions, but never for once have I ever heard or seen that a license issuer sanctioned a casino for their misconduct towards a gambler or gamblers,
I also imagine that the licenses are a way for the government to get some revenue from these casinos, so after issuance, they are more concerned about the next casino that will come to obtain the license, not you who has obtained it already. So they do not concern themselves with misconducts from these casinos even when they are reported.

what exactly is the benefit of licensed casinos to gamblers?
Playing in a licensed casino give more assurance to a gambler that they are playing in a casino that is closer to being credible than not credible. Because a casino that wants to operate without a license will never attract some category of gamblers.

587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't only pray for mass adoption, start HODLING!! on: January 17, 2024, 03:57:29 PM
The reason I'm writing this post is to urge everyone and to remind everyone why we are really bitcoin enthusiast. There is no point in praying and speaking about mass adoption if you are not hodling bitcoin, because this same event that would bring huge success to some would also be a catastrophic event to others. And what I mean by catastrophic is the huge regret they are going to face not taking action towards acquiring bitcoin. I know many persons have a million excuses why they haven't started their bitcoin journey yet. But why would you be in this forum and still have such excuses, why are u interested in bitcoins latest news and not acquiring some for yourself?, how do you claim to have faith in bitcoin and not show your faith by taking steps to aquire bitcoin?. What I'm saying i simple don't just be a bitcoin talker also be a bitcoin holder, don't have a the information about bitcoin and there is none in your wallet, stop preaching bitcoin when you don't really believe in it cause if you did then u would have some.
We are the front row in this Bitcoin journey and I believe as members of this forum we should not just be people who are more active talking than in our actions. For all forum members who have been here for a long time, It is expected to have some amount of Bitcoins in Hodling because of how important it is. Hodling bitcoins is difficult for some people because they do not have a good stable source of income, fix this, by getting more source of income by maybe increase your services, or trying out another business.

Personally, only Gordon and Trippier are worth considering in Newcastle United's present form.
Isak did well for Newcastle against Manchester City in my opinion, he was the first to score the goal for Newcastle and was a constant problem for the Manchester City defenders to contain.

Consistency is always important, but it does not rule out luck.
Consistency will give you experience but Luck will help ensure that your plans based on experience do not go sideways.

it's how you start that determines how well you'd succeed.
Starting with a win does not always guarantee a smooth run to the end of the competition. When a team looses at times at the start of a competition, it can force them to sit up and play much better in their other games, or be the downward ride for the team if they don't take the first loose as a sign to buckle their shoes, and play harder.

Another less than impressive performance from the Indomitable lions of Cameroon as they were held to a draw by Guinea.
Cameroon suffered a loss before this game, lost Vincent Aboubakar to injury, and played with a second choice goalkeeper.

There was some unconfirmed rumor about how he was displeased about being kept on the bench for the first game after flying down from Manchester United on the private jet, I don't see that as any big deal because I expected it to happen after all, how can you arrive a few hours to a game by 5:00 o'clock and expect to play. The team does not revolve around you and I don't want to think he's as important as he wants to be treated. I support the coaches decision if this rumor is true, but I fear that it shouldn't lead to a rift between them in the dressing room, It can affect their competition.

It was very clear to me that some ethusiast who promote Bitcoin don't talk about the risk part of it, while those who adopt Bitcoin on their own don't learn about the risk part of it.
The people who talk all the benefits and possibilities of bitcoins and does not talk about the risk is overhyping Bitcoin and making some people possibly think of it as a scam. It also creates investors in bitcoins who are not emotionally ready for the market when it gets bearish. When you tell a new ear about the risk, you are not just educating them, but preparing them to become strong hodlers that have a strong emotional resistance against bearish market situations.

Nigeria still in a 1-1 draw with EQG, upon all of the squad in the Nigerian team they have been finding it difficult to get a second goal after that Victor Osimhen got that equalizing goal for Nigeria, The Nigeria team is allowing Equatorial Guinea to build confidence around the eighteen yard box in this second half.  Only Oshimen has been outstanding in this game.
Osimhen missed a clear chance to score and double the goal he scored, but he fired wide. He will regret it a lot, because he will be heavily criticized for that error knowing his status as Africa's best.

Personally I am of the opinion that the coach be fired immediately (if possible) because the team has not shown any serious improvement from the qualifiers and pre-competition games.

We lack a good midfield and look to have lost our replacement to injury on his debut.

The coach needs to improve from this performance because it is not satisfactory.

Ivory Coast against Guinea Bissau
Is the pre tournament match between the host Ivory Coast who never lost an opener match since 1992, so surely they will have a bit of pressure undergoing tonight because of their fans and how they should perform. But other than than Guinea Bissau is a very humble team with much local players and lack of experience that would make their mission very hard to pass this group with top strong teams and today is their first hard test.
Ivory Coast started well with a good opening goal from Seko Fofana who will have his name in history for scoring the first goal in this opener. Guinea Bissau have Encada to blame, his first two errors out Guinea Bisua in a bad position from which they conceded from one. It will mean a lot if the host country can secure a win in this their opening game.

How will ETFs effect the economics of Bitcoin and existing Bitcoin markets?
There are many investors who knew about bitcoins, but did not want to invest through exchanges, this gives them an opportunity by investing in exchange-traded funds. Also, on the market, with the approval of these Spot bitcoin ETFs, it will expose bitcoins more to people who like investing in digital assets. They may not invest immediately but they will closely be observing the market before joining later.

... you need to reduce the way you spend last year to enable you to maximize profits this new year,
It becomes harder to reduce the way you spend with how the prices of things are increasing I think the better tend to say "spend wisely".

so that those that know you last year will see some changes in your life this new year.               
It may not be what you mean, but it sounds like you live your life for others.

DO not live your life for others, live your life for yourself.

Add this lesson to the lessons for the new year.

Which one offers the best bonus?
While this may be totally unrelated to the topic, I think it will be wise for someone in this thread to remind others the fact that the casino offers the best bonus does not make them the best casino to gamble on.

We still have to exercise care and caution because casinos that have an ulterior motive may use the good bonus system to attract unsuspecting gamblers to their casino for the purpose of cheating them later on. Sometimes, free things may cost you more.

Imagine that there is such a rehabilitation clinic for people who are addicted to gambling.
Because of how addiction has risen a lot in other form of habits and gambling, Rehabilitation centers has been one investment that there has been a large call for its establishment in my country Nigeria.

Rehabiltation centers can be of really great help because many professional will be the staffs, and their experience in helping people will increase with the more patients that they have. Addictive gambling is a mental thing, so medications may not be needed expect in severe cases.
