Happy 80 years, I wish you long life and good health.
I was surprised that one of the forum members has such a long life. Sure, you have great experience and experienced many economic crises. Perhaps the high prices of gasoline are the result of the global energy crisis, especially in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, but it is certain that it is an indication of inflation as well. The rise in fuel prices leads to high prices Almost every other product, because any commodity needs to be moved from one place to another and when the price of gasoline rises, this will certainly lead to a rise in these goods that are being moved, so it is a good indication of the inflation going on.

I know plenty of people who are buying millions of dollars worth of bitcoin right now, all because they know that even if it is just a 5% return, that is a ton of money and could be made in a few days, by next week. If you make moves based on your smaller amount, saying 1000 dollars investment doesn't worth the 5% return, then you will not make money like they do.

This is true, and I believe that it took USA about 150 years or more to reach the first 7 trillion printed if I remember it correctly, probably even more, then took them about 3-4 years to print the next 7 trillion dollars. That should be easy enough to see what US dollar means.

There isn't anything that could be considered at a good rate in the end. Which would be a deal where it could take a good amount of time to reach this place, but then it took very quick to repeat it. This is why I hope that the best thing would be slowing that down, because if they keep on printing like that again, then it would be super horrible and it would lose even more value.

I think we are almost all aware that state-sponsored survaillance is ongoing for ages. I watched a small clip (not sure it was only click bait or true) where Edward Snowden says that he removes the microphones of his phones (and probably cameras too) so that his conversations cannot be recorded/spied on. While searching for this clip I also found this interesting documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaUemcqIQ-k.

There are alliances world wide taking care of all the survaillance our states need, like PRISM, 5 EYES and others.
Check this for example:

and this one too

One other on PRISM

And finally this one should give us a general overview about the stage we are at on Global Survaillance.

Damn scary, to be honest!

I don't think an inflation in gold supply can happen like that just because a new huge mine was found! After all, the ratio of new gold entering circulation is quite low and that's one of the reasons gold can keep volatility under (relative) control!

Despite the fact that usually market defines the flow of things in this regard, meaning that when demand greatly increases, man will find a way of increasing prouction/extraction/manufacturing to satisfy the demand, but in the case of gold, I think that can take consierably more time than we think, so I don't expect that the ration of new gold vs gold in circulation can raise so that price can change by that much.

Yeah, definitely retained "hard control"!
She got hit in the face by the Kadvrotians, knelt down and dutifully paid tribute to Kadyrov and his monkeys.
In Ukraine, it receives a snout every day, the Russian army has shown itself to be a bunch of marauders, thieves and criminals, and soon the moment when it will be destroyed. After that, Russia and all Russians will pay reparations to Ukraine for decades, most likely to other countries where their brown boot of rashism has stepped .
Perfect control!

All phases in life indeed and not only limited on gambling but also in other aspects where failures do make out that learning so that you would really be making yourself more better compared back into the past or when you are just starting on what you are engaging on.Not all would really be having that kind of mindset since they do directly quit when experiencing unfortunate events but this isnt something that should
really make yourself to do so because its part of the learning process.

You do win or make profits but mistakes and errors is something that cant really be removed or avoid on thats why always presume about those probabilities or chances because
it cant really be that simple on dealing specially if it do touches on investing and specially with gambling which we know that winning is really in lowest chance or odds specially for
long term aspect.

India won the match between Sri Lanka Women and India Women. It is easy to say that they have won without any kind of Adverse conditions. Sri Lanka's run-scoring total was 173 in 50 overs while India finished the game in 25 overs. No Sri Lankan batsman was able to score 50 runs. Where India Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana has won the match without losing any wicket. This is really a good cricket form India Women.

Now IPL factor going to have big impact on cricket because we are already having too many troubles so if ICC allow them for their required window this could be more issue with just few boards are going to have benefit and many others are going to suffer they could be not able to have International tours or anything related to cricket which can hurt their financial and most chances no one going to against them because all have their own interests.

ICC was never neutral for all boards but now having another conflict of power which can create bad things if they are going to allow IPL special window then surely someone else will also try to have something for himself because it's all about equal rights let's watch what happen in coming days because now cricket future is looking not good day by day.

Exactly! OP missed the point. Identity is a personal thing and you don't go around town waving a card with your name and address on it, right? When you meet someone new, you use your first name and that's all. You don't give them your full name, age and address right away, unless it's a business meeting and you know that sooner or later they'll get to know it anyway.
I don't feel like a random company that isn't sending me any packages or doing any business deals with me has to know my name and address. Who knows what they can do with it?

What the author of the topic described is not something unique or surprising. Let's be honest - which of you started working with crypto in 2017, had a financial education, studied financial and investment management? Personally, I had a basic institute courses in economics, and separate courses in entrepreneurship. I can’t say that I had the same result as the author, rather, on the contrary, I earned well, but ... I didn’t manage to fix everything and turn it into liquid things. I only managed to buy ... what I planned to buy for the last 2-3 years, and set aside a certain amount as a "financial pillow". It took about 50% of what I earned in 2017. And the second 50% of what we managed to earn eventually turned into ... about 5% -10%
No, this is also money, but - not received or, more correctly, profit that was not fixed IN TIME, turned out to be quite significant. This was an excellent lesson, and prompted to study more deeply similar assets, the investment market and speculation. Once again I was convinced that a negative experience is the most useful and memorable!
I recommend everyone to study the subject matter, read specialized materials, communicate on topics of interest, and constantly develop. This will be the key to a secure and quality life not only for you, but also for your families.

It will be a big issue if this kind of gambler is surprised by a sudden fall in bitcoin price, which can happen in few minutes without previous warnings or signals, preventing us from preparing ourselves for this moment and avoiding a gambling session during a high volatile market. Then I fear there is nothing they can do besides cashing out their money with relative losses or waiting until bitcoin recovers, what can take several months or few years yet.

Another option is to gamble with stablecoins or altcoins which present less volatility in price. This way, it can be an opportunity to grow your bitcoin holdings after a gambling session, because when btc loses value, you will be able to swap more coins of another kind to bitcoin after the crash.

Putting money in gambling is a stupid thing because gambling is lucky there is no definite win because we don't know so it's not necessary like if you want to be big and obviously greed will plunge them into losing everything and mentally will be damaged too.
Playing gambling must be natural, it should not be excessive, and be ready to take responsibility when you lose or get hit by another mentality because this is a risk that must be faced, at least playing gambling for fun as many say, no need to want to win big because luck does not come next.
But control is what must be done, in every gambling game.

If the business processes in the company are properly debugged, then the employee simply does not have a chance to steal funds regularly and without consequences, therefore, in my opinion, in such cases it is possible to hire gamblers and drug addicts and other categories of employees who are rated as risky. The problem that is raised in the first post is trust between friends - if you trust a friend so much that you don't control him if he is your employee then be prepared for the fact that he will deceive you.

There comes learning after every failure in the cryptocurrency world. We can't get the result that we want here unless we'll deal with the market situation. The best thing that we can do is to accept losses and take lessons from them. Sometimes we only have to have the right mindset that crypto investment isn't a shortcut to success. It's a long journey that is full of lessons until we'll have the knowledge and courage to deal with every market situation.

Win or learn of course depends on the situation, if we plan to buy or invest bitcoin then now is a good time we can buy bitcoin at a price 1/3 cheaper than the end of 2021, when the market is rising I often hear people will buy bitcoin if the price drops And now is the time, don't wait any longer.

I once had a friend who started playing slots And he visibly degraded... He had the look of a crazy person, he had a lot of debts... His social circle also changed, especially when casinos became illegal in my country... Anyway, we stopped communicating with him and he didn't pay me back, it's been more than 10 years... So I think any kind of addiction affects the psyche...

That's right mate greed is not only in game also in investing coins because if the temptation is there greediness is there also. That's why other investor loss thier coin because of greediness when the price is go down then they sell it without knowing that the price will go up soon. But before playing in gambling we must think that there's reassurance that we will win inn short let's bet on how much we can afford to lose.

Maybe altcoins will also go down, and that is our chance to buy altcoins that can exceed the minimum deposit at the casino. But the minimum deposit amount for altcoins in the casino won't change so that's our advantage. But if you prefer stable coins, you can use them instead of altcoins.

Altcoins are sure to drop downwards following bitcoin and will stay there. To use ethereum, we also need to see how much the gas costs before making a transaction. I don't think this is a good time to use BTC for gambling because there is no guarantee that you can win a lot of money from gambling.

I doubt about that fact. From what i remember since 2015, pumps/dumps didn't affect casino activity too much. For many people it doesn't matter at all. Maybe now it's even better time for crypto gamblers, because deposit and withdrawal fees are much lower so you can deposit small amounts if you don't play big bets.
