701  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin EFT income reach BTC 100 thousand dollars? on: October 22, 2023, 09:31:23 PM

Do you think it will really be 100 thousand dollars? What happens if it is?


This reminds me of Mcafee Peter, may his soul rest in peace. Man was always full of himself with Bitcoin prediction, even made a promise to cut off his D**k if Bitcoin price didn't reach $ 1 million, unfortunately, he didn't live to see his dream come to reality and now that another person is calling for $1M, maybe we need to sit tight and watch this time around just maybe Bitcoin is going to surprise us this time around.

Only a delusional person will think that Bitcoin will reach $1 million because they think so, If bitcoin is going to reach that price, we need to consider many things and not just open mouths and call figures because they want it to happen. Where will the liquidity come from, and how and when is that going to happen? In addition, what is going to happen to Bitcoin when the price reaches that level, that's a psychological level that everyone will want to sell, I don't think Bitcoin will reach that level and then people will keep holding except if inflation has damage money to the extent that a million can't do much again in the society.

Now Lionel Messi has denied the rumors circulating involving him with Barcelona. As we know, there are rumors that Barcelona wants Lionel Messi to return to the Blaugrana on loan from Inter Miami. But Lionel Messi feels he is having a good season with Inter Miami and he is very happy to be there. Lionel Messi also added that he wants to continue having a competitive season next season and wants to experience other extraordinary moments with Inter Miami.

I think with a statement like that it's quite clear that he won't be going anywhere even until February next year and he will stay at Inter Miami. I think Barcelona should give up and let Lionel Messi be happy with his new family at Inter Miami. Besides, what are they still looking for, will Barcelona, by being able to get a loan from Lionel Messi, be able to make money again and is that really their initial goal? What do you think?

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1716151482054001011

At long last, people want to listen to what they want if not everyone knows the situation of Barcelona and Messi. The club clearly owe him, they have about 50M euro when the club was having financial instability, he cooperated and played all those time and payment were slash and till today, Barcelona are yet to settle the debt. Not only Messi they owe some money, there are other debts that are on ground. Now tell me, if you are such a great player that is been love by another club, why on earth will Messi go back to Barcelona.

Inter Miami aren't stupid, they bought Messi and the club has turned good overnight, there was time they had 9 winning streak since Messi arrived, guest like celebrities were invited to spice up people to turn on the game, Inter Miami saw 8x is their tickets, jersey were sold out in minutes and all these were because of Messi. Will they now want to allow Barcelona have Messi out of their life? No way, that's not happening and glad they debunk the rumors already.

On the other hand, I was very surprised to see Harry Maguire's performance in this match and he even became POTM against Sheeffield. Who would have thought that this Red Devils defender, who always makes mistakes, could have such a big impact on Manchester United. Especially as a back-up defender, Harry Maguire gives everything when the team needs it. If you look at Harry Maguire's statistics, he ranks first in every part he plays and I think this will be the starting point for Harry Maguire in the future to remain consistent. We also know that Harry Maguire never gives up competing with other players to get his starting position back. I think the competition for places in the back line will heat up and Erik Ten Hag will have to make his choice correctly.
The pressure is off him, attention is now more on Onana. Good thing for Harry Maguire too because he has long been bullied and criticized. If this is an indication of Harry Maguire returning back to his best, Manchester United will not be able to keep him when other clubs come for him during the transfer opening to give him a first team position and option. If he can consistently perform at this level till the end of the year, his value will surely increase.

I think Ten Hag has seen enough of incompetence in Onana already and I'm just speechless when I look at some of the matches and highlights because Onana was the best in this time. If there is nothing that made Erik to signed, that alone can convince any manage to sign any deal to have good goalkeeper. Despite that Onana doesn't do well, Erik encourage his players his loves and likes in any interview they asked even when we know that fans have different opinions from the reference.

Don't say Maguire might stay. Manchester United are only doing all these celebration because they want to sell him in the next transfer market. They know that he is not quite good as before and since no buyers are currently coming, they need to feed him well and hype him so they can quickly sell him off to any interest manager.

They have a striker who is very in form as well as some other players, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Matty Cash, Leon Bailey etc. They were too sharp for West Ham to control.  Areola tried, but his efforts were not enough.

I dont rate Aston Villa but I think some teams winning mentality need to be study. After there first trash that comes from Newcastle, they have keep going like they are not even in the table and I'm wow that they are just 2 points away from dining with Manchester City that are on top of standing. This is crazy but I'm impressed and thrilled to see some teams becoming better than Manchester United, Chelsea and Westham.
704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your doubt has no effect on gambling. on: October 22, 2023, 07:48:13 PM
Yesterday, I booked a bet, but, fine if difficult to stake, because I thought the game was going to be lost. But here it is I won the best. I stake the bet at $0.13, and I won $49 in total. I have gotten several winnings in the past week, but I would like to say that I didn't expect the game to play accordingly the way I predicted it. Why? Because I haven't bet on the same predictions throughout all the games before, but yesterday I did it. That's why I said I didn't expect to win the game.

A friend of mine always says, game way go cut, go cut and game way go enter, go enter, and yes that's true, this game was supposed to, play accordingly, and it finally did, even with my doubts.

However, I will say that even your doubt can not make a game that you are supposed to win lose, because gambling doesn't work with mindset, it works with the risk and not your fear. Why the risk is because if you don't risk your money in gamble, you will not lose or even win.

Similarly, because you want your wish your bet to do something doesn't mean it's gonna happen. If wishes were horses, gambling companies will be having difficult time in running cost because all tbe bettors/players are going to win all the time. Though, it's good thing to be positive all the time even when you have no hope because I have won a bet where my last game almost destroy my tickets but Liverpool change everything in my favour.

Maybe you have not been good in choosing the same type bet. I know of punters that play FT of 0:0 in all there games and it use to come through and we have some of them that love over 2.5. Reason why they love this is that when 2 teams both have a goal that you think they are going to draw, each of them will fight for more goals and that kind of games usually comes through. Betting depends on what you are really good into.

705  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Experience is key, go for it. on: October 19, 2023, 09:01:07 PM
No matter the amount of information you receive on this forum, if you don't practice and work on having a first-hand experience, you won't understand much.

Experience is key in everything we do and it plays a huge role in determining how successful we will become in that field.

Experienced traders know when to buy when to sell, and when to hodl. They also know how to manage any fluctuation in the market, This helps them to minimize losses and guides them to take reasonable risk.

As you choose either to trade, mine, or do what works best for you, don't forget to learn the fundamentals and apply them correctly. also learn how to start small and gradually, you learn on the job and with time your experience level should have grown and you can now start making a reasonably calculated risk.

There are two experience, the good and the bad. To experience the good side is first to read, understand and then put into practice, if you don't read before jumping to experience, your hands will burn and by hands I mean you will learn the hard ways because you are going to lose everything, that's trading for you.

You can't experience good if you don't know the difference between candles, you can't experience if you don't know local support and resistance and global resistance and support. You can't experience good if you don't know how to use stop loss, you can't experience the good side of trading if you don't know risk management, you can't dwell in trading if you don't know basic indicators, trend, market emotions.

Above all, you need to remove fear to do well in trading and other aspects of bitcoin, the first time might be scary but people that are experienced trader's today don't have two heads, they removed the fear and it's now a good story (for those that learned).
706  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can the government acquire all bitcoins either by seizure or purchase? on: October 19, 2023, 08:44:11 PM
This headline from the news is what has been making me think, Israel seizes cryptocurrency said to be used to finance Hezbollah and Iran's Revolutionary Guard.

The government has struggled hard to make sure that bitcoin does not develop and grow, they have made several policies and even created their own CBDC as a competition all to suffocate bitcoins growth. It is not impossible that they have not thought about seizing all the bitcoins so they can just hold it until we forget about bitcoins. So I am thinking, apart from physically confiscating hardware wallets and apprehending bitcoin holders to submit their seed phrase, is it possible that the government can seize bitcoins belonging to citizens even though it is a decentralized system?

Seizing of hardware wallet is possible only if the government ban bitcoin in the country, bitcoin will be illegal and what is illegal means must not be seen or use by the people. As a result of the ban, the government can request for thorough search of people that are either ex crypto investors of traders and anyone found with such can get a sentence for that, that's the worst I think the government can do but that will be barbaric and inhumane to be honest, what happen to human freedom, how is exactly is bitcoin harmful to people and the government, they need to answer those questions if they want to ban people from using bitcoin.

I think people are not so foolish to go around and be saying to people that they have bitcoin and here is there hardware wallet and seedphrase. The government can seize a hardware wallet and seedphrase and meet nothing in the wallet because a seed phrase without bitcoin in it  and seed phrases with passphrase is two different wallets. As long as seed phrase is back up properly, you have nothing to fear with bitcoin. I hope they are not reading this comments. Roll Eyes
707  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 16k DOLLARS LOSS IN JUST 1 YEAR on: October 19, 2023, 07:00:34 PM
I HAVE JUST EXPAIN TO YOU MY JOURNEY OF TRADING THAT HOW I HAD LOST THESE DOLLARS.
I have started the trading from BINANACE app and I invest 1 k dollar at the start from spot while I had no teacher
i was in trainee at that time one day was will profit the other day was my loss day every month I invested in binance app from my salary
after investing these money would finish in just 4 to 6 days after that I again wait for my salary.
At the end in invested 6 k dollar at one time but there was a coin which has up from 0.92 to 14 dollars I bought this coin in 11 dollars and
unfortunately this coin dip to 2 dollars and I was see my loss in just 10 minutes.
My trading method I just sharing with you tell me where I done a mistake
1: invest in one coin also multiple coin
2: trading was at spot also futures
3.coin was buy from dip they again more dip
4.coin was sell from top they again go up
Kindly share your experience that I m doing a loss you are also a part of my problem so that I want to khow where I done mistake.


Timing to take profit is another thing you need to learn if you aspire to be a trader. Sorry to say that crypto capture your attention during the bull run, if you borded tbe trading plane during the bear market, you will have learnt lot of lesson and master how to exit the market, and even though loss can't be negligible in crypto market, it will be fair, wouldn't top to that $16k

Another reason why you lost such amount is because while you were training, you were also risking, you don't trade with real money when you are still a newbie to trading, you should have use virtual money to test the waters and see if you are equip and ready to take the market bull by the horn but unfortunately, it ended badly.

I want to correct some points you highlighted in reference to one of the coin you bought at $0.9, went up to $15 and crash back again. In everything you do in trading altcoins, as soon as you make profits, sell them. There is no good thing in holding altcoins because the way they give quick profits is the same way they crash downward if investors were to sell.

Avoid futures if you don't understand trading fully, if altcoins dip and dip, be careful of how you buy them, some may never recover again. The next time you want to trade, ask questions also, it clear doubts in the minds like the way you are sharing now.
708  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance Founder CZ said that, Copy trading now live on Binance. on: October 19, 2023, 05:23:42 PM
I think the idea is to get the people who claim to be good traders to prove themselves, not that you would follow them. If you are not paying someone to make you more money, then you do not have to worry about this, neither do I, because we are not paying people to give us information on what to trade at this moment right? If that's so, why would we follow anyone else's trades?

It doesn't really make sense to give our income shared with them when they could very well end up losing. No, this was created so that people that are selling their bots, their signals and all that or even influencers who tell people to buy this or that, they could all start a leading position and tell people to follow, if they don't then why would I trust them, if they do, then we can see if they are good or not.

This is all because of that, just to make sure that people who lie about being a good trader to be shown how fraud they are with the proof that they suck at copy trading.

I was trying to think through how this copy trading will affect other traders and how lazy some people will be do common assignment and learn some basic tips of trading and what happened over Blackrock fake ETF approvals comes to my mind. How will copy traders deal with such situations that happened like that day. Imagine following a trade idea of shorts market that were liquidated, who bears such responsibilities? This will not end well for any lazy person that decide to pick this as means of making money from trading than their over their own analysis.

Binance is ahead of other exchange, I expect to see other exchange integrate this to their exchange soon just so they don't loss customer to CZ. However, the action twist behind this is for Binance to have more liquidity that any other exchanges. Bull run is coming, many people had left Binance due to some reasons like making FTX to collapse and also internal investigations. Binance is trying to established simple platforms to get back users into their exchange to have all the shares in crypto.
709  Economy / Economics / Re: Nigerian naira hits record black market low of 1,100 per dollar on: October 19, 2023, 04:38:39 PM
Nigeria's naira hit a record low of 1,100 per dollar on the black market on Wednesday, online platform abokiFX showed, a day after the currency hit a new low on the official market due to persistent dollar shortages.

The naira has been in freefall on the unofficial market, where it trades freely, which worsened after currency restrictions were lifted on the official market.source

Dollar has been a free fall in the unofficial market but that's not all, it's the same even in the official market place. The difference is the official market is protected under the watch of central bank, it's the Import and export(I and I windows) market you can officially buy USD but there is challenge of getting it quickly due to protocols and rules, so the only place to get it faster is unofficial (parallel) market where the price is slightly higher than the I and E windows.

Naira and dollar relationship has been finance by the fiscal and monetary policy where the government and the central banks have to intervene to fix an official price for the dollar to a naira which has been the traditional thing over the years but there is a new government in town that don't want to do that anymore because the government is the one funding the Forex and many loans have been taken over the years just to protect dollar to naira price. They decide to put an end to it and now allow everyone to go source their dollar by themselves, it's no longer the responsibility of the government to subsidies the price of dollar to a naira.

If they have allowed naira and dollar to be traded by the forces of demand and supply, it will probably have been or more than these price but the past government didn't allow that to happen and it's now that we are feeling the negative impact. I love how the government has stopped funding of dollars because it has allow the country to be in debts, even in US, they don't subsidized dollar to other currencies, they allow demand and supply to do his thing.

Naira has always been weaker to dollar, if really they have allowed the I and E windows all this while, problems like insecurities, low production would have been seen even from our currency but the government has been protecting it.

If the current government are serious about devaluing naira, they need to equally increase security accross the north, they need to fix the roads in all the 36 states in the country so that transportation of foods can be easy, they need to support local production, encourage export so that the country will also earn more dollars. It is going to be an advantage if the country fix exportation to get more dollars and reduce importation to increase the value of their own currency.
710  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance's Growing Legal Troubles: Are They Facing a Crisis? on: October 18, 2023, 10:40:15 PM
I think legal challenges often serve as a litmus test for any organization, and Binance is currently under the magnifying glass. The SEC has come down hard on Binance, bringing forth 13 charges related to securities violations. These charges revolve around allegations of wash trading and the illegal sale of BNB and BUSD tokens as unregistered securities.

You should have provided a source into your information because I'm not sure if this is a new charges or you're discussing another one from the already existing case they had in court with Binance. I don't support a Binance a bit but I think SEC are turning into a donut that want to see the end of something if they don't like it, when they want to carry out investigations, they take it personal and that makes me think what happen inside between CZ and SEC sometimes.

Quote
Even before the SEC lawsuit, two key figures at Binance, CZ  and former Chief Compliance Officer Samuel Lin, were charged by the CFTC for their questionable actions. The CFTC has not only issued charges but seeks to impose a payment trading and registration ban on the exchange, which would effectively mean Binance could no longer do business in the U.S. These legal battles are no trifles, and the implications are profound.

Didn't Binance announced that they want to stop registration from UK customers yesterday? I believe it was due to regulators request. If Binance stop operation in US, they will still be doing fine. Not like Binance dot US is a global one, they have separate exchange and I believe they don't get quarter of what they get in the Binance global because Coinbase own US, they should move on if SEC insist except if there are personal issues the media is not reporting.

Quote
The situation at Binance reminds us of a familiar tale: FTX. Is Binance headed down the same path? One thing that can't be ignored is the timing of key personnel departures from Binance. What's even more intriguing is the timing of key personnel departures from Binance. Several high-profile executives, including  its Chief Strategy Officer, President of Compliance, and General Counsel left Binance in what appeared to be a coordinated move. While the official statement cites personal reasons for their departures, rumors suggest that these executives were not satisfied with CZ's handling of the DOJ  investigation. The timing is indeed peculiar and bears a striking resemblance to the situation that unfolded before FTX's collapse when Sam Trabucco left Almeda Research.

In the crypto world, things move fast. I think Binance is facing its biggest threat and I for one am terrified of what's to come, but they can never go down like ftx. Can Binance regain trust?

Having a independent financial system is threat to US, even if Binance were to do everything request from SEC, they will still hunt them because CZ and Binance is not control by the US government, that they don't like. If the US want something from you and they don't have it, be ready for their frustrating part especially when you want need them to flourish.

What happen to scale of preference where you list your needs out?
It's normal thing to feel that way but only when the amount exceeded more than your problems. You can't buy the things you want and sway the things you need, that's waste of money and lack of self descipline with money management, that's what I feel though, don't take it personal.

Since you are not looking got solution, personally I don't buy things that are of not use for me in that point in time. If I do, then it's not for me, perhaps I bought it for another person. Anytime you see plenty of money and you want to buy the things you don't need, think about the days you had nothing and you have to struggle to make a living, just maybe that will clear the thought of buying unnecessary items.

712  Economy / Economics / Re: In times of war, Gold rises. What about Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2023, 01:21:52 PM
I've seen Gold market prices rising lately as a result of the current Israel-Hamas conflict. However, Bitcoin hasn't experienced any upsurge in price. It's still hovering around the $26k range. Something similar happened during the Russia-Ukraine war.

Is it because investors still don't trust Bitcoin as a store of value? Or is it something else? Please enlighten me. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Smiley

I'm not sure why this didn't happen unlike in 2020 when US and Iran had a clash when the US drone kill one of the Iranian most wanted soldier in their list and then all of sudden, we experienced rise in gold and some US stock but collapse when the two parties came to peace. However, I noticed that during the recent wars especially Rus-Ukr and Isreal and Hamas, there are speculations of some organizations usually sponsoring war and taking sides using bitcoin and when United nations or US find out, the address are flagged and if deposited into bitcoin, they are sieze, maybe that's few of the reason bitcoin don't pump because chain analysis thinks bitcoin some people used bitcoin for wars.

I don't understand why Gold price should rice now with Hamas and Isreal, not like they are gold rich countries, it was reported some days that Isreal currency has crash to new low against dollar, I think something isn't adding up with the pumps we have seen in gold or could also be a coincidence, there is another market force that led to the increase.

As of now the price of BTC is $27,750 which is a 1000-dollar hike compared to the last 48 hours if I am not wrong. Comparing gold the price is around 0.5% drop per ounce as per the US market rate so I don't think it affected the gold price in any positive way, to be honest.

1% change in traditional market is something they celebrate because the volatility is low over there. That's how they celebrate. However, many traders in there do margins with borrow funds, a 10x with 1% will print some profits or some loss.
713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Magical Is The Magic Money ? - Bitcoin on: October 18, 2023, 01:04:40 PM
The volatile nature of this form of money makes it a suitable investment option for those that believes in it. Interestingly, price increase and price decrease are both different opportunities that favors it's users. When the price goes up, those in possession makes  decent profit for themselves depending on how much they bought and how many they've acquired. When the price drops, people sees it  as an opportunity to accumulate more. I would say that Bitcoin is indeed a marvelous piece of art.

Suitable is relative though, you enjoy the good side of volatility if you have bitcoin on your hands and it pump upward but there is nothing good in watching your investment crash in just a matter of hours. Take it or leave it, it hurt feelings of diamond hands that are longing their investment for future.

However, the good side of it is that, as investors are going, more are also coming to buy opening opportunities for others that couldn't buy in those cheap prices. Subsequently, if it grows back in value, they can equally sell or continue to hold the bag for future purposes.

Bank and Bitcoin are two different entity's, one is control by monetary policy govern by central banks while the other is govern by absolutely nobody  because it run on the protocol that was designed by Satoshi. You can't blame the banks actually, commercial and micro finances to be precise, they work on the instructions of the CBN, going against that implemened monetary policy means they are out of the business for good, so don't blame them to with the sick rules of fiat. Bitcoin still need safe hands for people to get into bitcoin and that's what the banks do, that's why we need the banks to get that adoption for people that didn't get into bitcoin in the early days.
714  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To protect consumers, Australia has introduced new regulations for cryptocurrenc on: October 18, 2023, 12:49:03 PM
Like it or not, that might happen in the future, where the government will increasingly tighten its regulations to "protect consumers" from scamming.

Lol. Sorry for the loud laugh  Grin
So going forward, this is going to protect people from scammers? No I humbly disagree about that. Regulations comes with government working with centralized exchanges to give names of people they feel are guilty of scam but I don't think that will do much damage control with scammers because real scammers in crypto don't use centralized exchanges, they know better that when they scam investors their money, they will be track if they send it to exchange, they prefer pair to pair transaction where they can spend and move on with their life.

Quote
However, consumers must also follow the regulations by submitting their data to the government through exchanges so that the government can check it quickly.
Everything has positive and negative sides as the government introduces its regulations to reduce the possibility of scamming which will become more frequent.
That means consumers must be prepared for the loss of privacy from owning crypto which should still exist.
There may be no longer freedom for consumers who own crypto because the government can request reports from everyone who owns crypto.

I really wish the way they want this to work will effectively but there are many places this will leave untouched. There are consumers who prefer their privacy protect and will never yield to any data submission and I fear they can't be protected. If a consumer have bitcoin in his personal wallet and it got stolen or hack, such transaction will be difficult to fight, it can be flag but the consumer will lost the access and u don't think there is point of even flagging an address when it can not be recover. Regulations can't do much either I think right.

After graduating high school, I saw bitcoin on youtube. At that time, it was about 60,000 dollar.
I had some research about Bitcoin. I specially watched videos of Michael Saylor. For me, he sounded very logical.
I checked the price, and I could see that Bitcoin is up 45950334.26% since 2009. I thought I am very late to start invest to Bitcoin, but many people said it is early. So.. I am really confused. I receive about $100 a month from my dad. I am planning to use them to buy some bitcoin.
Please give me an advice to be successful Bitcoin investor in the future.


Glad that you saw it when it was around $60k, that's the power of bitcoin growth. Michael Saylor is a Microstrategy investor and he was probably encouraging people back then not to fear, that's why you see one of his videos back then but sadly we are back to 1/2 of that price now due to some bad guys that influenced people to loss huge billions of dollars, that's what happened if you wonder why the price if no half the original price you saw back then.

If you are thrilled to invest in bitcoin because you say 45 million %, then I hope you are prepare for the bump ahead. It didn't grow to that level without a fight, didn't grow to that price without speculations and repeated crash, I hope you have that courage to hold if you buy some bitcoin.

Coming back to your funds, If you don't have anything you do with that monthly allowance, you can do monthly dollar average by buying some sats every month, if you can do that, you will get some profits in few years time but I can't promise you how big and high your return is going to be as I can't really say the amount you can buy but to get more profits in bitcoin, you need more dollars to that. Or you can just be a trader and to enjoy every show of bitcoin.

Andre Onana is a good goalkeeper, but he needs sufficient adaptation to improve his performance. His performance was good but he conceded a lot of goals, but I think he will be more adaptive from game to game. I'm aware that Onana isn't at his best yet, so I don't think people should have high expectations for him too soon.

Overall Manchester United is not in good form. Onana is bad, as are the defense, midfielders and strikers. If Manchester United really needs improvement, then the entire team must work hard to realize what the fans expect.

If you must critize Onana, then you must have to deal with Maguire, Dalot, Evans, Lindelof, Amrabat and Varane. A goalkeeper can't do much without the help of the defenders, the reason why De Gea was able to do this as because he is experienced and know that he don't have to depend on defenders and that's why he doesn't have much mistakes but Onana is used to support which to me is not bad but they are really affecting his stats in Manchester united.

If you look at Onana stats in the last Champions League and Seria A, you will agreed with Erik Ten that his decision to bring in Onana was a wise one, he is so good but have not been lucky star in Manchester United. If he want to remain relevant, he need crush the opportunities for Manchester United to concede goals. He will not only receive much accolades from the club but will help transform Manchester United into the good teams they ones were where back then.

I want to pose a question that I believe is quite expensive for many of us here, and it's a dilemma most of us can relate to. We all know that gambling is a game where we put our luck to the test. However, there's a crucial moment in every gambler's journey. the moment when you hit that big win. Do you cash out and savor your victory, or do you continue playing in hopes of even bigger winnings?

For every action, I expect to see equal or more of the rection. That's a joke but for every deposit I make into any betting platforms, I expect to have withdrawals at the end of the week. Since I make deposit weekly, it would be fair to see some profits at the end of the week before I make another deposit. Any week that I make deposits and I don't have withdrawal, I take that week as loss and it help me keep up with history, tells me if I have been productive or I have been a disaster in management.

Another thing I expect you to look at is safety, there is no good in keeping large sum of money in betting platforms, if one day they flag a bet, that alone can affect your remaining balance and wouldn't be able to withdraw the rest of the money until everything is sort out, better remove the money and keep small to wager for the next time.

Quote
I've often wondered how many of us can truly stop playing when we are ahead. It's a challenge because the allure of winning more can be irresistible. I've witnessed situations where a friend deposited money into a casino, faced losses, and just when he was on the brink of frustration, he struck a significant win. Did he stop playing? No, he left his winnings in the casino, only to lose it all again.
So, I ask you all, what would you do when you finally make that big win? Would you cash out immediately to enjoy your winnings, or would you keep playing in the hopes of an even more substantial prize? Shocked

As I have said before, having much money in gambling is not safe and the same time is tempting, you can literally lose everything of you are frustrated. Lord forbid, if you wager 1/3 of your balance and it went south, you will be tempted to bet more so to end even and in that process, more funds can be loss to casino and that makes you even vulnerable more if you don't remove the rest.

The following is a list of the highest paid players for 2023 and as we can see, all of them are filled with big names. In first place, of course, there is Ronaldo who took steps to join one of the Saudi league teams, namely Al-Nassr and he received a large fee of 200 million euros plus 60 million off the field. Meanwhile, Messi, who has chosen to join one of the teams in MLS, namely Inter Miami, is in second place with a fee of 135 million euros. The rest of the list of highest paid players is still filled with other star players. Talking about these two GOATs, of course the difference is almost 2x and I think if Messi agreed to join Al-Hilal last summer he would certainly occupy the first position as the highest paid player. But the decision to join Al-Hilal failed and Messi wanted more what his family needed and in the end he chose to enjoy life in MLS.
Ronaldo is still a soccer athlete with a fairly large salary when compared to other players.  Ronaldo also succeeded in becoming a football icon in the revival of the Saudi Arabian league. He is truly a player who has a magnet big enough to attract other players to follow in his footsteps and join the Saudi Arabian team. Well, Sadio Mane also hasn't escaped our attention because since joining Al Nassr he has become a top 10 player with a fairly high salary.

For Lionel Messi and Mbappe these two players could have been quite high paid players if they had joined a Saudi Arabian league team in last season's transfer window. But they rejected it which makes them sit below ronaldo as the highest paid footballer in the world.

You can't cheat age, your body deteriorate when you come to some certain age and that's what his body is doing right now, I know that he is still relevant to some people and icon to some players but the day he joined Saudi Pro League seems like his career is dead to me. His performance right now should be a retiring football because if really it was when he was in his prime he went to Saudi Arabia, he goal record will exceed others by far and the margin will remain difficult for any player that want to win Premier League, Champions League and other European trophies.

Messi and Mbape are not supposed to go to Saudi Arabia, fifa will not like such deal because trust me when I say the attention of football will move from Europe to Asia. Saudi Arabia will achieve what they want in the first place and that's their aim, to become one of the best and recognized league in the world. Take a look at the massive love Messi him received from USA, he changed their system but didn't grow much because USA people don't rate football (soccer) so much, they love basketball more. If it was Saudi Arabia that received Messi, the enchantments in every match is going to be crazy.

My father always says and I quote, "when you become successful, your friend circle will shrink, and when your friends become successful, if you are not successful, you won't be their friend".
I have experienced this in real life, so now I know how the person who is avoiding their friends is feeling. You are a villain in other's stories, and someone else is a villain in your story. From both of their perspective, they are right but when you see from the opposite perspective they are both wrong.

If you accept that life is all about changes, you will worry less about some things, that's what you can not change about life, changes happen and you should likewise expect people to do the same. It's a normal thing you see people change their cycle when they unlocked a great financial level, they will likely want to change everything about them. You can't blame them for that, that's how life is, it occur everytime.

Now imagine this, you are friends with gamblers and you gamble together. So you know how they gamble. Now you have on a big amount of money by gambling. And those friends haven't won anything. When you have the money, people will come to you asking for money for no reason. Even if they have reason, if you don't give them money you are a bad person to them. On the other hand if you keep giving them money they will keep coming back. And being a gambler, it is hard to keep money in your hand if you are an addict.

So I don't blame the man who has won the prize and decided to avoid those who haven't won anything. But it also makes sense not to avoid them and ask before doing so. If he is ignoring them for no reason then that's bad. But it is his personal choice right? So who are we to judge?

I don't think a gambler should take that far, how much did they win that will warrant that kind of treatment. The money he won will finish at some point and when that happens, if he is the type that cannot mingle alone, he will be feeling lonely and will want to regroup with the same guys he left when he had a minor change with him.

I think the guy is only stingy type that thinks his friends are after his money that will finish one day. Only few people use gambling money for serious things, most likely pay bills and enjoy for some couple of days and then go back to how they are use to been broke. As long as he didn't win a jack pot of money, by the time the money finish, he will comr back to the street.
