this story is the same as what my cousin experienced, he retired early (at the age of around 35 years) now he is around 45 years old but there is an illness he is suffering from and he has to get proper treatment which quite expensive, so he sold some of his valuables and also withdrew his investment in shares.
as long as you can still make money, don't even think about retiring early, I know early retirement is everyone's dream but who knows what will happen next, you have to maintain your grades and productivity so that you stay healthy and respected by people.
I have also a friend that has aged 30+ and he got early retirement from the Armed Forces, he has a total of 12+ years of his job. But he took retirement very early, now he doesn't have any job and the pension which is issued by the government to him is very less and he cannot afford even his children's school fees. So, I have taken a lesson from his early retirement that early retirement is not a good idea, but If a person has some other business then it would be better for him. Otherwise without any other way of earning, taking retirement may lead to economic problems.

Wow! the cases you are describing are quite hardcore, and I agree that the thirties are not a good age to retire early. But I don't think the same for other ranges of age.

In my work there is a colleague that is in his sixties and just decided to quit early. That will suppose a big discount in his retirement pension, and many told him that he is mad, but he wants to enjoy the good years left, and I respect that. In Spain the retirement age is 67, and increasing, and some of us won't get to that age, so early retirement can be a wise decision in some cases.
Here in out country on which on the time that you do able to hit up that age of 60 specially when you are working on a government agency or some big private companies then you could really be having that kind of optional
retirement on which neither you would completely be taking those retirement funds @60 or would really be that opting out for working even more until 65 on which it is already the maximum. There's no way that you could really be able to get some retirement on just having that few years when it comes to your service or work, not unless if you have really just simply quit and retire on your own will just because you've seen
that you are already that financially capable on which you could really be able to sustain and survive without relying on any work or having that day job.

We know that there are different or various circumstances or conditions on which you would really be making yourself that able to make out decisions on which it is really something that you do wish for.
There are people who are really that preferring on cherishing out their lives without needing to be shackled with that 8-5 thing or being an employee for the rest of their lives. Although some becomes that successful but majority would really be having no choice considering that not all would really be able to achieve their goals and targets in life on which it would really be resulting on just simply staying
on where they current are and this is in fact the reality.

Anyone notice the visual bug on Liquipedia for Team Spirit vs Shopify? I was checking the tipster provide by Rand and it’s odd to see Alliance on the list while they are not a TI participants.  Grin



Anyway any risk taker to bet +1.5 to Shopify? They manage to get one games on both their matches on the Riyadh Masters. I think this pick make since Shopify usually get 1 game on any of their opponents. Thoughts?
Obviously it was just a mistake, i have even seen some local dota 2 page showing up those bracket match ups which TS vs SR showing repeatedly which it is really just that an obvious mistake.
For sure it has been fixed because we know on whose really that against with Team Spirit. Im watching now live TS vs SR which TS did get the game 1 and the current game is really just that a
match up. Dont know if SR would really be able to pull this one considering their line up is really that tanky and have that burst. Earth spirt of Abed once again could be seen which we know that hes really that
good with this hero but still they shouldn't really be that too confident considering that TS are really that also one of the comeback kings specially when the game is already taking too long or simply
long game. This is where they do really like to snowball. They are still undefeated therefore i could assume that its likely they would be closing this game dominating 2-0.
683  Economy / Speculation / Re: BitMEX founder projects $750,000 to $1 million #Bitcoin price by 2026 on: October 13, 2023, 10:59:46 PM
There is another prediction from Standard Chartered bank predicting a bitcoin price by the end of 2024 of $120,000.
Source: https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1712771899934064695

This definitely makes sense with their prediction compared to others above $500K, only we still don't know what it will be at that time? Now there has been a lot of speculation coming into the media about the bitcoin price after the halving. In the following year, so many may have predicted that the end of 2024 will be the highest peak again.
Would really be taking up this prediction rather than into those people or groups who had been sharing up their speculations that reaching up a million per coin on which it is something that not realistic at all but they do keep on pushing up that kind of idea that Bitcoin would really be hitting up that area but obviously these people had already filled up their bags and just like been said above that they are now trying to hype things up just to drive the price going upwards.By being just that realistic then we do really know that the price doesnt really move that fast on the way as it should be if we are speaking about million dollar kind of value on 2026.
We didnt even surpass out $100k point on this point and knowing that 3 years time wont really be that long then having such increase wont really reflect out on the time on how it do moves on a particular time frame.

Lets just stick into those realistic numbers rather than on making ourselves that too hopeful on prices which it isnt really that even realistic for it to be reached or would really be that
so hard even just on our wildest dreams but well if full adoption would kick in then possible but we know that it cant really be that so fast or in short time.
684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cross addictions is Just as Bad. on: October 13, 2023, 07:47:21 PM

So a friend told me that a mutual friend tried to replace his gambling addiction with another another one because he has tried all everything else. The new addiction is PS4. He pays for extra on the game and he is getting more and more into it. According to my friend, this mutual friend feels that paying $20 per month its subscription is better than $100- $500 on slots where he ends up losing.

Well I told him that this is basically cross addiction and what that mutual friend is trying to do is like running away from the truth. Not wanting to face the core issue. So he is justify spending $20 and not on slots when both are unhealthy addictions that can have far reaching consequences. He just has to sit and face his addiction head on without looking for a replacement addiction which is just as bad.

Honest opinion, it’s really better to pay 20$ instead of 100$ and above just to get same satisfaction which is being entertained. I do the same too whenever I’m already burn out on gambling which doesn’t provide me an entertainment which it’s original purpose.

This not the same with illegal drugs substance cross addiction because we are only talking about entertainment here and not illegal things that can harm your body in the long run. It’s simply changing a different source of entertainment to a cheap one since both gaming and gambling has same purpose which is to provide entertainment. An addiction to games is much more acceptable than to gambling since you don’t spend a lot of money while you can sell all your games once you are done playing, only time is being consumed.
Having those basic mathematics then you do know on which one you would really be that worth on choosing and also making yourself that addicted with video games is really not that something that too risky
compared when we do talk about gambling addiction. Yes, you could really be spending up too much time and sacrificing socialization but this wont really be that putting up risks on finances knowing that you do
only spend up 20 bucks for a month and this is something that much better rather than on making yourself that spending hundreds or thousands in a month. Just like on what others been saying that if you dont like on having no spending of money then involving with some sports or physical things is really that much better rather than making yourself sticking on something that comes with a cost.

Any forms of addiction on whatever it would be then it would be always considered to be bad. Everything should really be balance and everything should really be in moderation.
results or outcomes would really be that totally be depending on someones actions since not all would really be that able to do those basic things.
It do really just matter with decisions.
685  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Know When to Stop. Lesson for Everyone, Particularly Investors on: October 13, 2023, 06:20:22 PM
In other words, traders must respect consistent strategies and plans. The key is always, good emotional control is the determining factor.
But, sometimes someone can get another plan while the original plan is in progress. The decision isn't without reason, we know the crypto market is always interesting because it can provide varied strategies.
And this is why you would really be needing to be versatile because this market could really be having that drastic change on which it would really be resulting on having those kind of possible alterations with your initial
plans or analysis which you had made out earlier and just because you've seen that the condition or situation have changed then it wont really be that bad that you would really be making up some changed as well.
It would really be an endless trial and error that we would really be doing into this market considering that movements are really that totally random then it would really be that hard that you would really really be just simply sticking on a single strategy or analysis.

Whether you are investing or making up some trading then there's always having that limitation or border line on how far you could really be able to take up such risks.There are people who are really that risk
takers and there are ones who are really that conservative when it comes to this and this is why we do see different outcomes and results basing up on how they do make out such decisions or choosing
up on the things on what really must done. Knowing to stop and keeps learning on things will really be that a never ending one as long you do welcome new ideas and things you have
encountered along the way then it should really be just that fine to make out adjustments.
686  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you play while listening music? on: October 13, 2023, 05:38:09 PM
Which is more entertaining? playing games listening to music or without music just sound of the games like roulette ball bouncing on the metal wheel or playing games in silence?
While listening to music its hard to control our emotions while losing and we are not able to concentrate on game. it is highly likely that we blow our account by betting high.
but it is more entertaining while listening music on low volume and playing games.


Well sometimes I think that the music also give us some positive energy and positive vibes and theirfore if you listen to the music you love 😘, while gambling , you may feel confident and you may rather enjoy the gambling.

I would say that as long as the music does not distract you and distract your games then you can listen to the music and have more fun while gambling.

One thing to be clear that listening to music will not change the outcome of the game, it is just the personal choice.
If you are listening onto a music which if its your favorite then you would definitely something soothing or would really be something that could make you relax and having that chilling time.
Despite of the losses then you arent really that much been affected and it is really that somewhat effective. This is why its true that there are really situations or conditions on which
having on listening on your favorite music might really be able to ease up that kind of stress whenever you do make out some lose condition.

For me then it would really be that random because there are really moments on which i do really like to listen to music and there are really times
that i dont really want for some distraction and this is why it do really end up on just simply listening on background music and i dont have
any issues with that.
687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I want to fulfill my mother's dream of building a house with Bitcoin. on: October 12, 2023, 09:33:01 PM
As ridiculous as it may sound, the truth is that I want to fulfill a dream of building a house with Bitcoin.
My parents took care of me from childhood and they taught me education and they are still trying to teach me education. Father is very old and it is not possible for him to work as he used to, so I myself feel that I should do something. At the moment, if I could somehow earn to help my family or pay for my education, then maybe the pressure on my father would be reduced a lot. I joined Bitcoin to fulfill my dream.

My mother has a dream to build a house, maybe in the future I will have to help her fulfill her dream because my father is spending the money he earns on my education and running the family so at the moment he cannot afford to build a house. I have already gained enough knowledge about trading by being involved with Bitcoin, firstly I want to start my Bitcoin journey through trading, after making some money from trading I plan to invest in Bitcoin for four years. These four years I will hold my investment and also save the money earned from trading or signature campaign for four years so that after four years I can start building the house. 

You must pray for me so that I can fulfill my mother's dream.
Good luck with that bud and you should really be that be having that strong self control and discipline towards your spending or with your holding with those coins. Having this kind of target or goals will really be giving out some inspiration to pursue it out and would really be that giving you that perseverance on which we know that it might not be an easy thing but there's nothing impossible as long you do work hard for it.
We do know that investing with Bitcoin wouldnt really be giving out that kind of assurance and guarantees that you would be able to hit it up and everything would really be according on how much you had
invested on the first place. If you have saved up Bitcoin less then expect that even on a bull run period then you wont really be making significant and this is why it would really be always reflecting on how much
you had accumulated.

We do have all that kind of wish and targets in life and as a son/daughter who are really that seeing with our parents sacrifices and does have plans to give back then normally we would really be
having this kind of goals and targets on which it would really be just that normal to mind but having those challenges is never been easy but doesnt mean that its impossible.
Just continue on what you are doing and maybe one day then you would really be able to reach and make those wish happen.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you not gamble on women sports? (tennis not included) on: October 12, 2023, 08:22:12 PM
I do not know if this has been discussed before, but I want to know why most discussions on sports asides tennis is about the men's side of it and the women side is about only barely mentioned. Take football for example. Why is there low engagement in women sports from the side of viewers and even gamblers who are sports bettors? Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport? or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?

As others mentioned, mens sports are just way more popular. Way more hype behind them, easier to find teh matches, more info on them and so on. Games also feel way more exciting.
From sports bets tennis is what i almost exclusively bet on and i do it in both mens and womans side. Often i even prefer the female matches as they feel easier (cant think of a right word) to bet on.
Sports bettors stake their money on a game where they are confident with their predictions which is the reason why we see more games from men so clearly men dominate the industry but who knows over time if female sports become popular then they will also get the same attention as men sports. Probably this question arose due to the latest propaganda from feminists all over the internet saying we need equal pay, we need equal rights, and so on.
I dont really expect that much if we do speak about equality or having on the same level when it comes to relevance of men compared to women specially on sports on which it would really be truly that dominated but in these sense that we do have that women category then it doesnt mean that it was really that restricted. It do really just turn out that there are certain sports on which only men could really be able to do or something that would really be interesting to watch and this is why its not really that surprising that bettors would really be making out bets into those games which men are really those participants. Somehow there are really some bettors who do really consider on checking out with those sports which been played with some women yet they've been able to see that it is really that worth to place up some bets.

For myself then i wont really be that much considering those sports played by women. I dont know but i do find out that too boring on watching specially on sports of basketball on which it doesnt really fit out
or something that you do really want to see basing up on the movements that they are making.
689  Economy / Economics / Re: Early Retirement [Pros and Cons] on: October 12, 2023, 07:18:11 PM
I feel like the word retirement has a totally different meaning in the 21st century. I doubt anyone actuals "retires" anymore, it more like financial freedom to just pursue what you want, when you want.

I'd happily "retire" onto a nice plot of land and fix up old cars, it'll be hard work but I'll be doing what I want knowing I've already secured my financial freedom.

Just my 2 cents  Grin
That's true. I think the term retirement is just different now compared to before when retirement is actually finally giving up the long time work cause age has caught up and the limit has been reached. It was more of a finished line that everyone would eventually reach and it'll be the end of the career path every individual have. However, today, retirement means finally being free from the 9-5 job and having the financial stability needed to finally have the freedom to do what we are passionate about and not worry about how much we'll make at the end of the day cause that's already taken care of; it doesn't matter if we choose to start our own business, go on vacation around the world, or even take on a job that people will look down on because of the low salary because it doesn't matter.
Retirement was once considered the end of a lengthy journey and a reward for hard labor. Finish line. Now, though? Retirement means freedom. We're breaking away from the 9-5 grind and embracing what counts

Aren't our economic and social changes fascinating? Financial security today is having enough to live, not simply survive. It's about being able to travel, establish new businesses, or take on low-paying yet rewarding work. Why? Financial concerns are resolved

How does this affect our economy and human goals? Is society learning to define success and fulfillment holistically? Consider it

Not on the sense that you've been paid up because of the service that you have given on a certain company or institution for long years which here in my country which those amounts would really be just basically be pulled on the contribution that you had made all over the years or came from the deduction that you do have on the time that you are really still working which its not really that something an amount that they do own but rather you are the ones who are really that accumulating all over the years.It did really just turned out to be big just because considering on how long you've been working then you wont really be noticing about those accumulated funds overtime.

Some people would really be that eyeing for the benefit like on having that pension fund which it would really be supporting them on the time that they dont have any work but its true that as much as possible
then i would really be liking to retire when im not really that too old because its really just that not good to retire when youare really not be able to cherish out on the amount that you had been received.
This is why if i do have the chance with my current day job then im not really that anticipating about huge retirement amount but rather finding up ways on making myself that financially stable
and could really retire early.
This is what i do have in mind is on having that trying to make some business or investment on which it would really be giving me out the chance on having that early retirement and wont really be tending to last up that on entire years of working and if i would really be given some chance and some mix of luck for me to make some huge money and do able to make some passive income then i wont really be hesistating on stopping or retiring my current job and would really be that spending the rest of my life with my wife and doing on the things that i havent done before, like vacation/travel, buying some wants or likes that havent done before.



Lucky are those who retire before 60, and enjoy their lives,and enjoy their life.Retirement between 50 and 60 is an ideal time,If one has a family and children are employed.After 60 years the effect of old age starts and after that it is not easy to enjoy life,So if one gets free time at the age of 50, he can enjoy the rest of his life more.

I don't know what age group you are in right now, but it will take years for Bitcoin to reach a million. If you are waiting for Bitcoin to reach the price of one million, then you must have invested in Bitcoin, and if you have invested, it is definitely the best decision for the future. That is why you are preferring to retire before the age of 60. I think all of us working people should invest for our retirement. Whether it's in cryptocurrency, real estate or gold, long-term investing is essential to living comfortably for the rest of your life.
Agree on this one that this would really be that still involving some mix of luck because majority of employees would really be that retiring on the time that they would be able to reach out a certain
age or years of service before they could really be able to retire not unless if they do found themselves that sustaining then for sure they would really be that be retiring early but on the time
that you do see that your income stream isnt really that still enough then it would really be that a suicide on making yourself that retire or having no job
but you do know that there's no source that you could get for you to have a living which its that a really bad idea to be made.
690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can’t cope on my own. What do you think I should do? on: October 12, 2023, 12:35:57 PM
I have been into sports betting for a while now and i am not really proud of my earliest experience in gambling, i feel like i am the most unlucky person in the world i lost a lot of games and also i lost a lot of money. I had knowledge about football and basketball games and they were my most picked games and even so I kept losing all my bets and even when i try to play safe i still end up losing and whenever i ask my friends for games we still end up losing the bet then i got tired and in the end i gave up and tried to quit gambling and I left it for some months. During this period my friends made a lot of money gambling and i was envious of them but it didn’t made me change my mind to start gambling over again.

Some months later i came across a telegram channel and i joined, it was a gambling channel that posted free sports bets for its users and there is also a VIP section where users subscribe for some sure games. I am well aware of all these techniques used by scammers so I decided to observe the channel and follow up games posted and I discovered he won most of the games and had about 80% victory rate. Then after some time I decided to try my luck again so I played one of his games and i won i was so happy and it was as though the curse placed on me has been lifted and I tried some more games and i won again and again and since the beginning of the new season i only lost twice and i am now proud of my gambling achievements.

According to the channel free games are limited and we can only enjoy for a month and now the month is almost over and only VIPs will be entitled to games when the month elapses. I have been having doubts whether to join the VIP zone because I don’t want to be scammed that’s why i want to know your opinions.

 What do you all think i should do?
Its up to you since its your money to be used up on and if you do see that it did really spark out your interest on playing gambling again and this what makes you happy then it would really be that better that you should follow on what your heart tells you. The only thing that you should really be reminded of is on how to have that good self control towards spending with the gambling session that you are dealing with. Majority of people would really be that getting lost of the track on the time that they do become impulsive because of gambling and spending their money is really that out of control on which it do really end up on a disaster.
Seems like that you do have that kind of control on  stopping midway then i could say that it should be fine. Why not really just try out and see for yourself if you are really that satisfied on that group that you are engaging into? If it does give out that kind of impression that you are being that freed from curse then so be it and test it out on how long it would last.

If you do find yourself getting enjoyed and happy then go ahead. Dont let other people would really be the reason for them to hinder you out on the things that you do want or like to do.
Somewhat majority of us would really be sticking into those basic principles in life and this is why we could really be able to say such things on which it isnt really that bad
to consider it out.
691  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: is there any safe ways out there to get 10-15 % ANY return rate ? on: October 12, 2023, 11:59:24 AM
is there any safe ways out there to get 10-15 % ANY return rate ?

as far as banks i noticed maximum 5 %

crypto exchanges upto 15 %   - but are they safe to put money there ? like nexo , kucoin ?
It's safe if you take the time to educate yourself more on the matter. However, it's important to acknowledge that the concept of consistent returns is quite rare.

Now, let's delve into the specifics: Are we indeed referring to annual returns here? As far as my knowledge goes, banks typically offer interest on a yearly basis, and this interest rate can fluctuate from country to country. It's worth noting that some banks opt not to provide interest to depositors; instead, they may charge fees for the safekeeping of deposited funds.
Education is needed but it does not make the risk go away. It can only diminish it. Once he did that, he will be aware that many lending platforms and exchanges in the crypto world have already collapsed and there might be more to come. Even the banks are not safe too. They can also experience it.

I think it's better to just choose the one's that has a refund program. If not, just be very cautious and try to secure the profit once you already got them. Consistent returns are possible when it comes to these matters. We only need to learn more about the company that are offering it so that we know what to expect and the outcome won't shock us.
When it comes to investment, when it comes to business then there's no way that you would really be having that 0% risks on which it is really that always there or really that in default.They do only differ on the level of odds or chances when we do trying out to compare when it comes to skills,knowledge and experience which each person does have their own level of expertise whether they could be able to handle up those risks or not
basing up into their goals and targets that they had set out. 10-15% return rate? it is already that big but something achievable on this space but of course you should really be needing to deal up with the risks
and never ever make yourself that believe that there's such path on having no risks because even in dreams then it cant really be just that possible.

Here in our country, there are some mobile banking or digital banks that offer some APY rates ranging from 6% - 15% but it's not lifetime like they have this promo that you need to accumulate to specific numbers they decide then you get the high rate for a month.
In cryptocurrency, decentralized platforms like lending also offer this but the 2-digit rate is seems difficult to find.
For digital banks then they are really that offering something like that which we cant really be able to deny that it is really that far way more better than with those traditional banks
but the risks here is that they could anytime be locked out and where you would really be running for help on the time that they would close or having those locked up accounts or having
some facing some issues? For sure it would really be a challenging thing and not something that a risks that you could easily accept out.
692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: October 11, 2023, 09:22:52 PM
Money is certainly the best tool to reveal the kind of person you are. If you are greedy, you would want to keep all your money in yourself and not care sharing some tips to your friends. Which I think is certainly a very bad sign that money is everything in you even if you lose all your friends and love ones. Well, this is not new anymore but in most cases, those who try to be greedy in this kind of situation will certainly regret it doing later on. Remember that money can easily vanish like thin air if you don’t know how to use it wisely. And when that happens, you have no one to turn to because you lose your friends while you’re busy enjoying your millions.
Agree on this one and its a normal or common human behavior or nature on which being greedy but there are really that certain extent that you would really be taking all of those things for yourself and doesnt really tend to share even with your closest friend but we know that not all friends or colleagues would really be wanting to shared up with the winning you do have but it cant really be just avoided not to think about those conditions which its impossible that they wont really be tending to ask out for some share even a little. Not all friends would really be like that but majority of them would really be acting out the same on which this might be the reason
on why their friend didnt really tend to come out and do mingle with them anymore.

Some would really be just having the reason for security purposes because we know that once that the news that you have won up big time then it would really be scattering like wildfire specially
on your community on which it is really just that making yourself that more exposed to possible dangers on which it would really be just that so right that you would really be that pausing
on exposing yourself on public because of that potential danger which you might be able to face on.
693  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin October Month Performance on: October 11, 2023, 08:14:26 PM
I expect October to be positive for bitcoin as October is usually a good month for the market. But with recent world news showing increasing uncertainty, I'm starting to temper my expectations between now and the end of the year. I think it will be difficult for the market to break out this month and you will have more time to fill your bitcoin pocket. You are one of the few investors I see who want bitcoin to fall more to accumulate more bitcoin because most others are just waiting for things to go back up.
Seems like not a bad month so far, it started of well enough, either it was end of September or start of October, it went from 25k to 27k and that should be something that matters, and I believe that we are going to end up with something bigger after that. I think that it should not be a big deal, and couldn't be bothered by anything that is bigger than that, we could end up with something that would be smarter on the long run for sure.

I think it could be a thing where we need to end up with a greater return for a long time, and could definitely end up with a big profit for sure. I believe that we can't really end up with a return that can't be all that great or can't be something that works harder than we think, just wait for it to get better. I think reaching a higher price this month could happen, but staying under 30k is also not something that would be terrible neither, it could definitely be something that could fail our hopes once again.
Movement is really that in between 2-3k increments in a short time and we've seen those movements on this October on which we can really say that it isnt really that as boring on the month of September but i wont really be that so shocked if the price would really be just moving within these levels on not to even break that 30k once again. Im already preparing myself  for those scenarios which the only month or moments on which i do see that significant movement will happen would really be on Q1 next year or something into those near months before halving event happens. This is where usually hype and fomo thing do really tend to kick in but of course its not something that recommendable on dragging yourself into some FOMO because its never been good on the first place.

Basing up with those previous charts and tallies then month of October do usually be ending up on a positive candle on which it would really be signifying that we are really that on better side of things
but dont expect that increase or those positive numbers would really be that big. It would really be always falls down into the demand and recognition in the end of the day and price
could really be that potentially be affected for those external news and events on which it will really be bringing out some significant effect in overall which it would neither stall or would really be
making that huge movement towards the price.

This is a serious problem which if won't be addressed will start a cycle of violence, uncontrolled gambling, and poverty. Young people should be focused on productive activities and not gambling.

I have also known young people, mostly men, who are too irresponsible when it comes to gambling. Their salaries go to gambling and oftentimes they're left with nothing even when the next payment date is still far.

I don't know how to solve this. But it will help if illegal gambling is eradicated, exclusion by oneself or by family members should also be implemented. Casinos should also be stricter in admitting gamblers.
Have you try giving advices to your friends? If so, what are their responses? If they still insist to, then maybe those solutions you can think of are the ones that can truly help them the most. Or maybe you didn't make a move? It's okay, it's not your responsibility anyway. I understand that some people are only being careful to not be blamed by others.

I agree on what most users said here that violence and anger are not mainly caused by gambling or being addicted it but it's more of a personal problem. I admit that I have these conditions ever since I was still young, and up until now that I'm at my 30's already. Gambling, video games and other activities can only trigger or amplify it more if you are losing but I'm trying to be calm and don't focus too much about winning.
There are some persons that have natural anger and even though when they go into gambling, it will never ends there. Some persons get angry when they are losing money betting so we need to be very careful on how we interact with people when gambling on a live casino or betting on physical sport games. We need to understand that not everybody are like us and nit everyone will take those things we may over look over a certain period of time.

There is no way we can stop the anger in people unless they are ready to work on themselves and fund solutions to there problem. Gambling can be full of cheating since there are people who are always ready to cheat anytime they have the opportunity.

Who doesnt really like on losing, right? We do value money and its a normal approach for a human being to have on which it would really be just that so normal on having those kind of reactions since we do really value money that much and something that should really be giving out importance but on the time  that you are already that touching up gambling then it would really be that best that you should really be that be prepared or already that anticipating that losing would really be that common into this field. On the time that this is your first time or simply that you are young which your mind isnt really that molded or get prepared about on that
possible risks then this isnt really for you.

Gambling addiction has no exemption whether you are really that old or experienced or to those youngster who do tend to engage with it and ended up on being addicted just because they dont really know
on how to make out some good decisions and dealing towards gambling risks. This is the difference in between the two which one do really knows on how to assess himself and the one arent really that having the
idea about on the risks that he's been into until you would be finding out that you have been devastated in terms of finances.

With such an opportunity to spend btc to buy luxury cars-
*Will you be willing to spend your btc to buy car from Honda? Or any other automobile company that will follow the Honda's part?

*Which other automobile company would you want to also accept btc for payment?

*Is this news big enough to trigger market uptrend in the coming weeks, months?

Does Honda want to continue in Tesla's footsteps or is it only temporary, but what is certain is that this step should be appreciated because BTC is increasingly becoming a part of the business world where consumers can buy valuable goods such as cars and of course it is a driving force for other companies to participate so as to help improve public trust and interest in crypto and increasing its acceptance in the business sector.

Well, if somebody ned to buy a car using BTC now, that's definitely not the case, and to predict the trend, it could trigger an upward trend in the market in the next few weeks or months, I don't dare to speculate further.

Either temporary or long term adoption planned for this adoption to happen its still good since announcing to adopt bitcoin is already a great news to be heard. For sure there's a lot of people in business world read up this announcement created by Honda and adding bitcoin gives curiosity to them about possibilities to add this also in their company. But lets just see what will be the result of their adoption since if honda will generate a lot of sales also good result in terms of bitcoin volatility for sure this will be great in terms of good projection of bitcoin since it can somehow boost more its popularity.

People near them can now buy car without any conversion needed and they can directly use bitcoin or ethereum to make their transactions more faster.

Honda accepting bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies as payment methods is good news for the crypto industry but what I'm thinking is will people use their crypto assets as payment methods? Because most people only like to use them as a means of investment, including us, very few consider them as a means of payment. That's what I'm doubting, even if businesses add bitcoin as payment method but most investors value privacy, will we use btc for payment?
Would really be having that normal approach towards things on which people wont really be that so easily will be making use of their crypto on buying out but just as said that no one would really be just simply making use of wasting up their coins on something that they could buy with fiat as much as possible which its true that majority of us would really be eyeing for the investment part or side of things rather than on carelessly making use of those coins for the sake on buying things but in overall, it is really just that good to see about these kind or type of news on which this do correlates about adoption and recognition on which this is something
that we do really need which we do really want for it to happen that lots of merchants would really be considering its existence.

Somehow having this kind of addition or integration of crypto payment is really that a good option  and does really give out some choices whether we do purchase honda cars using  fiat or our crypto directly.
It would be always falling down into someones preference on neither theyll be using their money or not or with crypto directly.

At one of the local gambling shop I visited during the weekend I happened to listen to a conversation between two bald looking gamblers at the shop talking about one of their gambling colleague who had won a big amount of money amounting to a million in the local currency and due to that win this colleague of theirs' has been avoiding them since e won that money. From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.

After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.
This isnt talking about having those kind of luck been affected or would really be that in minding about other reasons because  the main reason on why his friend or colleague did make out such action on just because he /she doesnt really want for someone to ask out for some money by his friends on which it is really that something that very normal that if you won big then expect that there would really be someone who would really be asking out at least on some sort of bonus or whatever that kind of amount that you would really be given on which i do assume that this is really that some sort of very normal thing or condition on which most winners would really be experiencing and this one is really that no different. There are really people who wont really be minding about long time friendship or relationship with their friends as long that money is really that gets involved then this is the most important thing of all. If their friend did really end up on having that kind of behavior then there's nothing they could do but one day for sure that he/she might really be coming back but ofcourse
that would be the moment that he/she wont really be having any funds or money left out of those winnings.  Tongue

Many newbie and crypto enthusiastic think trading is easy until they lose on the first day, 1 week,1month, 1year and they finally quit.
There are common mistakes they usually makes which are,

_ Not planing there trades: there is a popular saying that he who fail too plan, plan to fail.
   Before entering a trade, an entry point and exit point must be spotted if you want to succeed.

_ Don't make emotional driven decisions: Emotions like fear and greed can cloud our sense of reasoning and leads to impulsive action, just stay calm and stick to your plan.

_ Not managing risk properly: this protect your capital, by using stop loss other, It minimize potential losses.

_ Not doing enough research: knowledge is key in trading , knowing the craft is very important, take your time to study the market, analyse chart pattern, and stay updated to news that can impact your trade.

Remember trading requires not just strategy, but discipline
Come with minimal capital and then push yourself to get big profits from betting. Meanwhile, the initial basis for becoming a trader, apart from needing capital, we also need knowledge. Usually beginners come to the market based on references from seeing the results of the achievements of successful traders. So that the level of understanding is still minimal, try to keep forcing yourself as if trading is only about buying and selling. Missing important factors such as knowing what crypto is being purchased, its long-term potential and the community's interest in the crypto itself. I think what you say is correct. Regardless of the results obtained from trading, beginners must have deeper knowledge. Learning will not make him lost. The mindset of wanting to get rich instantly needs to be put aside first.
Dont rush up yourself on which this would really be the key for you to be able to avoid possible mistakes and errors on which you would really be able to encounter along the way on which it would really be just that normal that it would really be taking for long for you to be having that good grasps towards the market and on the time that you've seen on other traders then dont tend to mimic out because we dont know
on how long those traders have been here on this market before they do able to get those good trades. Experience does matter and this could really be could be acquired with real engagement and time spent out into this market. Dont ever make yourself in a rush on doing things because it would really be just make you desperate on which this is really a negative thing to be done by a certain trader.

Dont make yourself that trying to copy on what their result is because it would really be just making you desperate and this is something that must avoid. Take the pace slowly but surely kind of approach and never rush yourself on making money because it would really just follow through if you have just done on the right thing .Dont make yourself that believe that traders are indeed guaranteed on becoming that rich because
not all traders do really end up on being successful and this is something that you should really be removing into your mind so that you wont really be anticipating on something which it isnt
true.
698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: October 09, 2023, 12:19:53 PM
^^ I think it's really hard to separate animal cruelty like cockfighting to other gambling. I mean there are countries that really like cockfighting and this become part of their culture and tradition. Yeah, it's cruel, but what can we do if it is being practice for thousands or even hundreds of years?

And as for the subject matter, I'm also not familiar with casino's offering this. So this is not possible to the OP, and I do not think that casinos are going to offer this cockfighting for many reasons. To be fair, I'm also from a country that grow up seeing cockfighting becoming a tradition and sports and used it to gamble.

You asked the question "Yes, it is cruel, but what can we do if this has been practiced for thousands or even hundreds of years?" I agree with you that it will be difficult to do, but there is nothing impossible about it. I want to remind you of progress and moral principles that grow with each century. I would like to give a few examples. For example, before people had slaves and this was a normal phenomenon and no one thought that it was possible to change, but over time this did not happen. It used to be that a person could fight with animals such as a lion or a tiger or someone else for fun, but then this did not happen.

So I agree with you that it is difficult to change this, but I want to point out that it is possible
On a norms, people are not supposed to use cocks to fight for no reasons but since there is no law that is stopping them to halt cock fight like a sport in order to gamble with it and earn profits. There are cocks that keep dying everytime this kind of events happens but the people that are using them to make money do not always care about the lives of the animals. Maybe the government have to keep an eye on this kind of events because is doe not support the laws that is guiding the animals and there environment. This kind of act need to stop or else it will lead to something else.

I don't know where you live, but in my country if someone carries out cockfighting activities then he will be subject to multiple articles, the first being "an act of violence against animals" and the second article being a "criminal act of gambling" And those people who carry out cockfighting activities will be subject to a fine which, if calculated in USD, is around 1,600 US Dollars or be subject to a sentence as severe as 10 years in prison. Because my country is one of the countries that strongly opposes gambling activities circulating in some parts of society.

However, with this regulation, this cannot fully guarantee that people in my country can avoid "criminal acts of gambling and illegal cockfighting activities." Due to the fact that in several areas in my country, people still like to engage in gambling and cockfighting activities. And still, whether a regulation is good or not depends on what kind of enforcement efforts?
Each countries does have its own set of rules and regulations and in regarding about citizens views towards things. If the government you are living or place on which animal cruelty is really that highly frowned upon then
expect that people who do live on it would definitely be having on the same views and on the time that they are seeing someone who are really that engaged into such activities but for those places who do really get used to this kind of gambling or betting then it would really be just that part or normal on which its citizens would really be involved with it. Some had already elaborated that this had been already that a traditional things for
them on which it is really just that normal neither they would engage or not.

This is why it would really be that depending whether a certain individual would really be engaing or not basing up on where he do live or if its allowed or not. Lets just respect on what other gamblers been dealing
with.It might really be that a harsh thing about animal cruelty but it turns out that this is really just that a normal thing into  these places and they do make out bets out of that.
In the place on where i do live, then this kind of betting or gambling is really that allowed, it turns out that it is really just that prohibited when illegal online betting sites
are really that taking place or running up.

Who can i speak to from sherbet about joining as a vip? I have over 45 million wagered on stake and am a large sports better so i would be here for sports primary!

45 million wagered? What do you mean? Let's assume that the minimum wage bet you make every time you gamble is only 0.2$. You have already gambled more than 50$ in the casino you are referring to, dude. Are you that rich and waste your money?

I don't know if you're just bragging or telling the truth, but for me, if that's true, there's no need to mention that amount of wagered and how much you've already achieved, in my opinion. You can ask or find out how to become a VIP in a simple way—not that kind of bragging, even if what you say is true.
We know that there are people who do love to brag or love to boast their ranking but its unlikely for a whale player considering he had mentioned about $45M wagered overall which is something that you cant see everyday.

Checking out their
https://sherbet.com/?modal=vip

Which they do have that special offer once you do reach up Diamond 1 rank.
It would be better if there would be a specific amount wagered needed for you to reach up that rank like in Rollbit as far i remember(cant remember exactly).
This one is really just that on that typical xp bar.
700  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Education. on: October 06, 2023, 01:21:00 AM
Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?

This varies greatly between countries. In mine, for example (Brazil), sexual education is not even part of the curriculum in schools.
But, regarding the subject you addressed, I think that a specific subject on gambling is unnecessary, however it would be very useful if all schools in the world could teach children basic notions about economics and investment, that would be something very relevant and certainly extremely important for the development of a person and the long-term improvement of the country.

However, in some countries this will be an impossible subject to teach, as teachers are not even paid adequately, so analyze with me... how is a teacher going to teach financial education if he doesn't even know what inflation is, something basic, and is he "drowning" with his own credit card?

The conscious use of money and what can be spent on gambling or any other high-risk business should indeed be fundamental in schools, but for many countries this is unfortunately far from becoming a reality.
Yes, we know that there are countries which are liberated and there are counties which are conservative on which means that education or included into their curriculum would really be entirely be depending which things need to be allowed or not. Therefore, government would really be always having the final say whether they would really be applying it out or not basing up countries cultural aspect and peoples preference or really that part of their behavior on which if you do live on a place where gambling is allowed or rampant then it does basically means that it is really that legal and i dont really that much sure if there are some gambling related subjects wayback when im still on schooling because usually this could really be mentioned on social studies about addiction which it isnt really that just limited to gambling but also into different forms of addiction on which it is really that normal to be taught at school. There's no specific subject for that but at least there are some side notes that mentions about addiction which needs to be controlled and to be avoided.

I think gambling education really needs to happen. I know someone who went into it without any knowledge at the time and lost almost everything. It is a sad situation for him, but if he had been educated at the time, he could have reduced his risk and not lost all his money. Many people may have lost a lot of money, perhaps uneducated and uninformed. Although there is no education for everything, there should at least be a system that teaches that one can adjust one's own risk and take bets accordingly. Otherwise, when we look at it the other way around, everyone learns from their circle of friends in some way, but it is necessary to question exactly how much knowledge you can have with this learning.

Not really that necessary since education wont really be that something that will really be that could be available most of the time but with using up with your own common
sense then you would really be able to find yourself to make out those right decisions on how to deal up if ever you would really be able to encounter such addiction.
Common sense would be enough and self control or moderation but it seems that some people do really forget on this one and really that ending up on a disaster.
