I'd just consider the government and local position regarding Bitcoin adaption which is why I still prefer to pay in fiat than BTC (or any stable currency).

Reasons:
 - BTC is not accepted yet as a mode of payment
 - I still need to spend a few bucks to convert it into fiat money
 - volatility of the price

This is a salary that I expect should be the intact amount I received but if the BTC payment is pushed through, that possibly be changed due to its volatility and some extra trx fees. I believe the best option remains to fiat unless the employer covers all the extra fees that may happen.

They struggled without OG, if he will not play, I think the Pacers will win. The confidence of the Pacers now is on the roof after they beat the Knicks by blowout last game, so I think they'll likely take the win. Currently the Knicks are -2.5, but this is already game 5, they might face the fatigue as they are undermanned and have not been using their bench effectively.

His toughest opponent was Ryan Garcia as that was the only boxer that defeated him. However, if Sandor will pull an upset win like knocking out Haney, then we can say that he is the toughest opponent of Haney.

Not really IMO, Haney is good in winning but knocking out, he doesn't have that kind of reputation. That's why if he'll win this fight, it's likely via unanimous decision win.

As other members are saying, research is the first thing you do. Besides, it was not hard since it was available on the internet.
Perhaps, it is easy to gain trading ideas but it is hard and a different situation in real trading. That is why we can ensure that even having all the needed learning we have before trading this will can't leave us confident that it all be okay. Of course, at least it is our advantage but as usual, losing is possibly going to happen.
Spend the minimum amount required depending on the platform you use. At least, in the case of losing it all, that won't hurt you too much.

NO, I don't allocate money for my gambling habit but what I just did is to save some from my monthly allowance and use it for gambling. I won't say this is the right thing we should do or you will follow this. What I can say to you is don't keep gambling in your mind nor allocate money for it because this will mean that gambling is more important than other things. Just gamble when you have extra money, not because you allocate some percentage of your monthly income. Sooner or later, if you are allocating 0.5% today, it will possibly become 1% (or even more)someday due to addiction.

Don't think this is a piece of advice but just a reminder that gambling is just a hobby, not an important thing that we need to allocate money for it.

Well, the sad reality is that we know how to spend our money on luxurious stuff but never know how to value it and spend into the right thing.
Many individuals have huge salaries but still have no investment plan which in the end, they remain empty and broke.

We usually just realize our wrongdoings when we face difficulties in life and say, "I will money next time". Too good to hear but this kind of promise is usually broken.

So I would say that if we want to change, we also need to change our mindset about money because the moment we know how to value our hard-earned money, the more we care about it and are able to spend wisely.

Nothing happens to us if we are always afraid of trying new things. Taking risks is part of our life, sometimes we stay away from our comfort zone for a new beginning and a better life.

It is for sure that some of these rich people were poor before but they took risks because they wanted some changes and the results are truly remarkable. There is no harm from trying but missing the opportunity is even more regretful than anything.

Of course, there is no forcing about in investing Bitcoin. Perhaps it is our decision but can't leave the fact that this kind of investing can possibly change our life forever. In fact, a lot of people have tried and many of them become successful, that is enough to consider of coming in.

Early addiction is really hard to heal, and that ain't work too easily, especially where online games and gambling sites are rampant and anyone can gamble.
This is what happens when influencers promote gambling which exposes kids to it. If the government will never take action with this, more and more young people will get involved in gambling.

I'm not against gambling but it should be regulated in order to save young people/kids from early addiction. We know the negative impact of this in their life and we don't want to see kids commit crimes for the sake of gambling.

Rewards are just simply a marketing strategy and the main goal is to attract searchers. However, this is not the way we assess if the casino can be trusted or not still, we look at their reputation and customer feedback because it can be our strong basis for whether we use this platform or ignore the offer. Besides, if not all, the majority are offering such rewards but the most important is we are in a casino that has credibility, not just bonuses, free spins, etc. Generally, it is not really useful and it won't give winning assurance, it is just how it encourages gamblers to register. 

Then, we can't blame the government and other people think that Bitcoin helps scammers and fraudsters. We can't blame the authorities for stopping mixers because they feel suspicious about their transactions and the loss of our privacy in the crypto space has gone due to these scammers.

These actions of scammers make crypto in general a tool for scamming, Bitcoin is not excluded. I'm not saying that is good to happen with the mixers but if people use this as a medium of illegal activities, it should be stopped because we are also affected especially if someone knows that you are a Bitcoin holder, they will also assume that you are a scammer.

You should encourage your friend to stop gambling as it won't give him pleasure anymore. I don't know how your friend's gambling strategy but I could say that he is too emotional and irresponsible gambler. Changing his gambling strategy and behavior will change the results as well but most of all, he should control his betting. More gamblers suffer losses because they never know exactly what they have to do and most of the time we been relying on "there is next bet, may I was lucky", so we make bets again.

Gambling will definitely influence our mind which is why we should limit our time spend to it as well.

I liked that both fighters stay calm, they are just doing a very simple job in this face off since hyping the fight is not anymore necesarry since we all know their will be blood comes the fight night. Kambosos looks confident, I like that from him as he will for sure be very aggressive, however, I believe that Loma will be victorious in the end because he had some skills being a technical fighter while Kambosos heavily relies on his aggressiveness which is not effective against a fighter like Loma.

Luck has been tough on him, because his fight ended up in Draw although it does look like he really hurt his opponent. It's just sad to see that because the fight was held in Japan, the decision does not favor him. In fact, his fight vs Akaho which is also a Japanese ended up no contest but later Akaho admit that the really loss the fight that's why Casimero was awarded with a KO win, if only the last fight was win by KO, his ranking might have improve and Inou has no more excuses of not fighting him.

It will survive because people trust it.
Despite some aggressive market attacks and some controversial discussions of the SEC, Bitcoin still gains positive responses from the community. It dumps due to some panic selling which is normal event but it rises back because many people stay strong and optimistic about the future of Bitcoin.

One factor that makes people become interested in this is the decentralized features. We believe that having this gives us more freedom and more privacy which fiat money can't provide. But if we talk about security, that is uncertain as we are prone to hacking and this it makes too risky.

I think Casimero's named was mentioned during an interview after Inoue defeated Marlon Tapales, but for sure Casimero is not the priority since his ranking is low. However, for a champion that has been disrespected everytime, I think he should accept the challenge of Casimero so he can shup him up. Inoue vs Casimero, such a good title, and I think the fans will be fully satisfied as sure this fight will end in KO, not sure who will win but I know it's going to be fun.

Another win, home teams really are racking in the playoffs so it's hard to go against the trend. I thought the Pacers would beat the home team when Brunson went to the locker room after a possible injury, but man he's really tough, he came back and lead the team even losing OG in that game due to an injury (which will possibly made him unavailable in game 3).

I got my bet live after the firs half, I had -7 Pacers, damn, wrong move.

That's a very aggressive approach, I hope you last long. Starting with 0.05 BTC and bet 50% of it on your first try, just 2 losses and you are out. And also, your target is too high, so it's really hard to achieve. I believe some experts doesn't think like you do, they start with big bankroll but with a very conservative betting approach, like they set a small percentage of their entire bankroll, 5% or lower, yours is 50%.

I tried to get in touch with some of my friends and relatives but unfortunately, nobody had the guts to believe in me. I then thought that I was not the kind of person who could influence and I see also that it was hard to influence a person if they won't see the visible results of your investment. That is why I don't push myself to do that again and don't bother other's life with Bitcoin because it is impossible to educate someone when they are close-minded. I'd rather keep it by myself and let my work show them a few years from now, and why this is a good investment.

Besides, not all are meant for this which I think also that maybe those people around me are not destined to become Bitcoin investors.

@coin-investor, if Inoue was really interested fighting Casimero, he should have already fought him a long time ago, especially when both of them are still champions in the bantamweight division. This taunting will never stop, and only Inoue is the one who is capable of stopping it, and that is fighting casimero  and settle everything on the court.

Casimero is not the top contender, so if Inoue will make the top contender as the basis for his fight, then that fight will not happen and Inoue can continue to dominate weaker opponents. It seems like his camp are really good on protecting him, like putting in front of him boxers that are not on his level.

One post a day is already considered very active in the forum. As a newbie, you are not here just to make a post but you are here to read and explore the forum more. You can stay on the forum 24 hours as long as you can, nobody stops you from doing that and there are no rules that limit us.
