This is a tricky one but I think the gambling assistant has said it all, that he's harmless and that's what you should go with. The dude is a fully grown man, he doesn't steal to gamble, he takes care of himself by doing odd jobs. So as long as he appears okay, does what every normal person does whenever he's in the gambling shop, then he should be allowed to stake his bet and leave. If at any point anything changes, then he should be stopped.
I like your explanation that he should be stopped if there are any signs of misbehaviour. But I am really scared at this point because I have seen some mentally unstable people react in a violent manner that leads to serious injuries to some people. You might think they behave normally or are harmless but I have observed that mental illnesses can increase if the sufferer does not have access to proper medical attention. As much as everyone is free to gamble, such people have to be properly observed because there might be a sudden change in their behaviour. The management of the gambling houses or casinos should give more priority to the safety of gamblers than profit. |

https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/12/27/nigerian-banks-set-to-launch-compliant-naira-stablecoin-in-2024/"Following the Central Bank of Nigeria's circular, a consortium of Nigerian banks, fintechs, and blockchain companies are developing a Naira stablecoin, cNGN, with sources close to the project stating a planned launch in 2024. Naira Stablecoins The concept of a Naira stablecoin has been floating around for several years, with previous attempts in the past. The most recent was NGNT by the Token Mint consortium in 2019, consisting of major Nigerian crypto exchanges and African communities, including Helicarrier and Busha. NGNT is pegged 1:1 with the Naira and is on the Binance Smart Chain and the Ethereum Network, as BEP-20 and ERC-20 tokens, respectively." The past administration in Nigeria intended to shift citizens' attention from cryptocurrencies to the Nigerian stablecoin called the eNaira. But this lofty dream didn't materialize because people already knew that the eNaira was nothing but an online Fiat. The Nigerian currency was losing value every day and the people were using Bitcoin and others to shield their Investments from inflation and decline in the value of the Naira. I think the government has realized that there is nothing it can do to reduce the adoption of cryptocurrency, so they have no other option than to remove the restrictions placed on commercial banks. With the removal of these restrictions, I expect the Nigerian crypto industry to experience development in all spheres. |

The fact that you won using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!
I have also had such though because you will always wish you win more from betting higher. But like you rightly included in your post let our focus be on how much we might lose and not how much we will win. Having this mindset is important because it will help us to reduce over-gambling. But a perfect means of overcoming the temptation or urge to bet above what we cannot afford to lose is our ability to have and judiciously follow a gambling budget. Having a budget will save you from the pressure to gamble more than you can be able to lose. It can be said that it is greed because you are not satisfied with the amount won only $1,000 of the amount of capital you spend, honestly I never bet a larger amount it is too risky and I can't afford to lose a lot of money in the game.
Greed caused by a lack of contentment could contribute to the motivation to increase the bet because you assume you could win more. I think it is always important to be content with wins because gambling is unpredictable. Nobody knows the outcome of any bet, which is why gamblers should be careful. |

On a serious note. Don't forget to accumulate now. Campaigns are relatively free but there are other methods like using your lunch money  , luxurious bags with different brands. Btc $45K and shooting, I'm so excited.Truly there's no sweeter opportunity like a dip. Earning Bitcoin is an opportunity to hold and make a profit from it. I have seen many posts by some newbies where they ask how they could earn Bitcoin by offering services. But just like every other work, you have to put enough effort into building your account to join a campaign. Even when you join a campaign you are still expected to fulfill your obligation to the satisfaction of the campaign manager and the organization are promoting. You might be able to join any campaign if you don't put effort into your posts to get merits to build your accounts. Your perception that it is free or cheap money is not true because you still need to put in a lot of effort before you can be able to earn some SATs. However, the weekly pay could be a good DCA opportunity, if you can keep doing it for a long time. |

Im not surprised that Mourinho's name continues coming up in rumors, especially with PSG. However, Mourinho's style is outdated for a fast-paced, modern club. PSG needs a coach who fits their style and philosophy, and Mourinho's old-school tactics dont work. I don't subscribe to your position that Jose Mourinho's style of play is outdated. If it is archaic, how did manage to make it to the Europa League finals last season? Roma has also qualified for the second round of the same competition and is in the 7th position in the Seria A. Roma has a very limited budget compared to other top clubs in Italy. With the financial strength of PSG, Jose will get all the players he needs and you will be shocked with his performance. However, PSG's frequent coach changes arent helping. They must invest in a process, follow a plan, and give their coach time to accomplish their goal. Switching things up hinders team development. They must consider long-term to dominate locally and in Europe.
The club has a single goal of winning the UEFA Champions League and any coach that fails to achieve it, will be sacked. They don't care if the coach was able to win the League One title, all PSG management wants is the UCL. I think they should give Luis Enrique more time to rebuild the team towards European glory. |

ETF will probably not approved yet, so BTC and the others crypto will go down !!
I heard it today at night from the man, who has that supposedly from a trusted source... Of course it is not guaranteed information, but why risk. When I sell the crypto and the news will confirmed, it will save me thousands, and if not, nothing happens, I just buy it back before the price rises. When I think about it, the more people will sell, the more the price drops, so even if the message will not confirmed, it could help too, because at the same price everyone would get more ...
Hope it will help to people...
PS:
I wanted to put it on Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and so on ... but I don't have my laptop with login info, so if someone could help and send that ...
It could help many people ...
Thanks and Bye
I don't know the source of your information but that is your own opinion. Everything investment has a level of risk attached to it. I don't really care about the ETF because Bitcoin doesn't rely on it to be profitable. Bitcoin reached all-time high price of $68,789.63 without these institutional investors, so the decision of the SEC is not my problem. Even if the price goes down, it will surely go up with time. ETF will probably not approved yet, so BTC and the others crypto will go down !!
You're an idiot for selling your crypto because of unconfirmed news. Selling cryptos based on rumors rarely pans out well. While the excitement around a potential ETF approval is understandable, acting on unconfirmed news tends to backfire and instead of panicking, the wiser move is simply to hold steady. Whatever happens with the ETF the market will respond accordingly. You don't call somebody an idiot for making a decision. The money is his own and not yours so he should be allowed to make his Investment decision. The Bitcoin space also needs people like this to make the market profitable. At least somebody will buy at a cheap price from people who want to dump their coin because of FUD. |

Not possible for a gambling addict to quit slowly. If gambling is a problem, the best is to just quit. After he quits, he can start to gamble again after a year. If he sees that he is still gambling in a way he waste money on it, he can quite again. This is how I stopped my gambling addiction.
But if the gambler do not quit and not able to quit, he needs something like rehabilitation program or medical consultant.
You won't say it is not possible because humans act and react to issues differently. It might not work for you but it might be the best solution for someone else. I have seen drug addicts who are permitted to take lesser addictive drugs to help them gradually quit drugs. Some therapists might recommend marijuana for a heroine or cocaine addict. Gradually it might be reduced to cigarettes until the person fully gains control over his life. So I believe gamblers can quit gradually. Maybe one can gradually reduce the amount and time he spends on casinos and this could help to curb excessive gambling. |

I would also say that this season Napoli is too bad with the status of defending champion. The performance has been very unstable even though they have basically hired two different coaches in one season. The squad is no different, it's just that the team's performance and changes in strategy affect the game which makes Napoli weaker.
Napoli need to get up and try as hard as they can to return to the top 4. They should try to end this season in the Champions League places, I think that is the best target for Napoli instead of retaining the title. They know what their weaknesses are, but the team is struggling to find their best form.
I assume that two things might be wrong with the Napoli team. The first one is that they have failed to hire the best coach that suits the club's standard as defending champions. The two coaches that have been hired since the departure of Luciano Spalletti have not had any positive impact on the club. Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri are average coaches who have never won any major competition. Another reason might be the failure of the club management to buy new players that would have fortified the team. The poor performance of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the injury problems of Victor Osimhen are having a bad impact on the club because the club is still relying on these two players. Napoli should Invest money in some players this January and at least Walter Mazzarri will have more options in case of injuries or suspensions. |

Miners certainly benefit from what I personally call "ordinal madness", and suffice it to say that in recent days the rewards per block amounted to over 10 BTC, and considering that the reward without fees is 6.25 BTC, it is clear how much their profit has increased. Without going into any conspiracy theories, isn't it logical to think that some of them (miners) have their fingers in all of this? Who knows, maybe we'll find out one day. Miners are the highest beneficiary of these ordinal inscriptions and many of them will always support the project because the profit is huge. It will take selflessness and love for Bitcoin for these miners to block these inscriptions. Creators of altcoins who will use every opportunity to say that their project is better than Bitcoin and that their transactions cost only $0.01 and that you should invest in their project. What they will not tell you is that the security of their transactions is so great that you have to wait for several days to be sure that your transaction will not be messed up in some way.
I don't blame these altcoin creators because they are just taking advantage of the problem created by people who prioritize profit-making over the survival of Bitcoin. I wouldn't lie, some of these altcoins have saved the day for most crypto users because of the low transaction fees. Like I said before, I don't plan anybody after all, it is about the money. I am among those who are still optimistic about this transaction fee of a thing, I believe the said bug which the ordinal developers are exploiting will soon be addressed by bugs. But for now, I am treating it as an asset now and only make transaction with it only if fiat currency will be an hassle for me
I also believe that nothing lasts forever, very soon these ordinal inscriptions will be handled. But for now, there is no solution in sight because this threat is becoming more popular and many people are making more money from it. Nobody knows how long this will last because many people have been forced to hold more than their Investment plans. This is not good news for Bitcoin because one of its selling points was low transaction fees. |

my advice to everyone out there is that we should all be cautious of what we do from the things we hear because sometimes what profits the next man can actually turn out to be a disappointment to you.
Any Investment that promises huge returns should be treated with caution. We have to verify if they are scam projects because many of such projects are ponzi and get-rich-quick projects. I am also careful when I see a project that is over-hyped by celebrities and sophisticated and expensive advertising. I will keep saying that the safest crypto is Bitcoin, apart from this coin, it will be difficult to distinguish them from scam projects. Do your research to verify the genuineness of a project before investing. This is because most of the stories that you see on social and other media outlets are designed to attract people into scam projects |

Honestly, I can't understand PSG, they are a team that in attack depends a lot on the mbape and yet they are not on the market looking for good attackers, they spend money on signing players a lot of games for positions that at the moment they need to have good performance and also have good players in attack. It seems to me that PSG's objective is not focused on winning the European Champions League, on the contrary, their focus when they make these strange signings seems to me that they are only looking at Ligue 1 in the long term, but that's really funny because PSG has already dominated Ligue 1 in recent years The January transfer is just opening and the club had to buy the Brazilian central defender Lucas Beraldo. I hope that the club will still get more players before the closure of the transfer window. I also think that Lucas Beraldo is a good player and he is also young and cheap. Such kind of players could bring financial fortune to the club if he improves. I read that PSG wants to focus more on buying and building younger players because it seems that buying expensive players didn't give them the needed results. so it doesn't make much sense to just look at league 1 and do very poorly in European competitions, in any case for a team that hasn't yet won the European champions league despite having invested a lot of money in the team over the years, it's just frustration to psg fans who dream of one day being able to win the european champions league and every time the market opens psg comes with some meaningless signing, it seems like they are competing with chelsea and manchester united for the title of the most ridiculous in hiring. Anyway, we'll see if Mbappe leaves the team or will they be able to convince him to stay for more years, with this squad without great ambitions, it will be difficult for us to see PSG win something big that isn't internal competitions in France.
The Brazilian defender might not be popular but he is not a meaningless signing. He could boast the defence of the club. PSG has experimented with world-class players but they never won the Champions League, maybe the club is changing its recruitment strategy. Nobody knows Mbappé's next move because there is no concrete information about his future. |

My question is :
Do you know the status of your health while gambling and what do you do if you happen to suffer a mild or hard stroke?
My health status is okay for gambling because I don't have any signs of hypertension or heart issues. I might consider stopping gambling immediately if I have any sign of sickness triggered by the activity. I will not wait until any major sickness before I stop gambling. Having a stroke or other sickness is going to the extreme, I will never continue gambling if such a thing ever occurs. But most people who suffer from health issues are people who gamble above their limit. So they are always tensed up when they are waiting for the result of the bet. This is why I make it a point to open my messenger and have my loved one that I can contact in case, whenever I'm playing alone.
Devising strategies to get help is not a bad idea but we should do everything possible to avoid activities that will trigger such emergencies. One of the ways is not to take gambling too serous and always bet what you can afford to lose. When you lose, don't feel depressed and when you win big don't over celebrate. |

How do we educate people that Bitcoin is a continuously growing global currency that is still in its early staged and each big boom and crash is just its early growing pains? Its just crazy to me that people see Bitcoin becoming more and more valuable and its much much more valuable than the few thousand dollars it was worth when they likely first heard about it in 2017 and yeah they all think it was just a bubble that has passed and they missed out and there's no reason in paying attention to it or owning it now. And then of course they'll be surprised in 2024/2025 when they start hearing about Bitcoin again but then by 2026 when the next bear market hits they'll forget all about the past market cycles and go back to thinking oh it was a bubble and is now dead.
The internet has a lot of material about Bitcoin for anyone who cares to invest in the sector. That is why we are encouraged to do our research. Most of the books that have been written are authored by humans that has emotions and limitations. Some of these authors are sponsored by forces that are against Bitcoin to right rubbish about the sector. Others claim to be crypto experts when they know nothing about the industry. We just have the responsibility of educating people who are interested in Bitcoin but they have the responsibility to do their research. And what they saw with FTX was the market crash and not Bitcoin or even the altcoins. Maybe later, there will be a market that experiences something similar, and they will also think the same thing. We can't educate them if we don't want to learn the truth. So leave them like that until they really realize it.
FTX case was a collapse of a firm and not a crash of the crypto market. The company was managed by a group of inexperienced individuals who misused the money of investors. It was nothing but a clear scam case and has nothing to do with the crypto market |

I think it's about time the USA found out that the world doesn't revolve around them. They cannot and will not ever control Bitcoin.
We are done with Bitcoin ETFs. We do not care if it's approved or not. We use BTC as a means of freedom from the US dollar.
Bitcoin is indeed decentralized making it very difficult to control by any institution or government. But this doesn't dispute that the US crypto market is the biggest and most influential. Currently policies by US regulators always significant impact on the price of Bitcoin. The common truth is that the Bitcoin ETF is one of the biggest upcoming events in the crypto industry and almost every investor or trader is anticipating the positive impact it will have on the price of Bitcoin. As we are all aware Bitcoin's survival is not dependent on any event because they.will come and go. However, we will always enjoy the freedom and privacy that this currency offers. |

What would be your advice for a pharmacist hoping to create generational wealth in the pharmaceutical industry
I will assume that the generational wealth you mean is the transfer of riches from one generation to another. The first thing you should do is do comprehensive research about the pharmaceutical sector you intend to invest in to ascertain if you have the right qualifications to venture into such areas. I think the pharmaceutical industry will have areas that deal with drugs and vaccines. A business plan will also help to determine how profitable the business might be in the long run. If your target is to create such kind of wealth, teaching your next of kin or offspring how to manage businesses will also be very important in building a profitable business. If you have the intention of transferring the business to your children, they should be trained on how to manage the company because we have seen many heirs to big businesses mismanage them. However, the business can also be managed by a good management company and your offspring might be given some percentage of the firm's profit. |

Juventus won and they are now +12 from 4th spot.
That is the 1st target of the season, ending in Champions League zone.
It was a tight game against Roma but the good news is that Juventus got the maximum three points. I was pleased with the attacking football by both sides because it made the game entertaining. It is common to see Jose Mourinho unleashing a defensive strategy that will make them park busses, but this was not the case in this game. I have missed Juventus in the Champions League and it is clear that they are becoming unstoppable to grab a top-four finish this season. But who knows if they can win the Seria A because they are just two points below the league leaders inter Milan. Massimiliano Allegri deserves all the accolades for his love and determination to rebuild Juventus after that club faced many challenges last season. Their next game will be against Salernitana, a team that got an away win today against Verona. |
