741  Economy / Economics / Re: How Much Does Food Cost in Your Country? on: November 18, 2023, 02:33:37 PM
In the country where I live, most people live in poverty. In my country the price of all things starting from food is relatively high. A day laborer finds it very difficult to raise money for his family, and most people beg only for want of food. It is not possible to manage a family easily with the salary given by the government, which makes it very difficult for a person to get food. In my country some daily items that are used in cooking and food are very expensive especially those that are used constantly eg.
Rice white --- 1kg --- $1.52 USD
Chicken --- 1kg --- $3.45 USD
Milk --- 1 liter ---- $2.15 USD
Egg --- 12--- $1.70 USD
All in all a lot of expenses which add up to a lot at the end of the month making it very difficult for a family to buy food at such a high price.
742  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: November 18, 2023, 03:56:08 AM

 Hi guys, coming through with a rather odd question this morning.

So, i was looking up on Wikipedia the meaning of Money Laundering , and below is a quote of how the site defined the term "Money Laundering"

Quote
Money laundering is the process of illegally concealing the origin of money, obtained from illicit activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source. It is a crime in many jurisdictions with varying definitions. It is usually a key operation of organized crime.

So, after i saw that Gambling was mentioned or listed among the listed illicit activities through which money can or could be laundered, I can't help but wonder if gambling is actually an illicit activity.

Wikipedia did not mention gambling being an illicit activity in their definition of gambling here, why then did they mention gambling as one of illicit activity through which money laundering can be carried out?

Please check this out and share your thoughts.
In my opinion, gambling is an illegal activity where people always fall for this gambling. But people who gamble don't think anything like that, but they earn money from such casinos with the aim of making money. Although gambling has been legalized in many countries, it is forbidden by virtually any religion, the practice being considered the worst in every religion. That's why I think this kind of gambling is illegal even though it is legal in many countries people take gambling in general and representative they place bets here. There are various casino platforms where illegal money laundering is considered a crime under the law. Moreover, many people do not like to play this type of gambling, but I have seen many gamblers who cannot live without gambling. There are many businessmen who do illegal activities and money laundering through this gambling, which is basically the biggest crime I claim. When Wikipedia asks something about gambling, it comments that they know that gambling is an illegal activity, so they give answers like this.
743  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The reason of why Bitcoin is good for trading (for me) on: November 18, 2023, 03:48:10 AM
First of all I'm not a real trader, but I like to trade to earn small amount profit.

I only use BTC/USDT pair because USDT make me easier to determine how much my coins worth after trade and most liquid stable coin, the reason why I choose BTC is I don't need to worry about it when my trading goes wrong. So if I bought Bitcoin at the peak and the price keep decreasing, I will not sell it, but I will wait for the next super cycle where Bitcoin usually break new ATH.

Keep in mind I never learn about chart, candlestick, trend etc, all of my decision come from my mood and instinct. No stop limit, no follow any signal, no watching my PC for 24/7 etc, just directly buy and sell.

Is there anyone like me here? Cheesy
If you don't have that much experience in trading then I think you won't be able to profit, however you must have gained some knowledge about the market. But I like your move because Bitcoin trading will be profitable without ever fear of losing money. USDT is a stable currency which will not give you profit, but if you buy Bitcoin it will surely give you profit. But bitcoin can give you enough profit, and we know that bitcoin will never collapse like altcoin. Rather, if the price falls after buying Bitcoin, it prepares to go higher later on, which helps a person make a profit. That's why Bitcoin is the best investment and trading, so I think it's best to invest and hold. There is no need to lose patience when buying Bitcoin if its value goes down because it will be ATH again and again. As I'm not that knowledgeable about trading and don't trade like that, rather buy and hold bitcoins I want to hold until the bitcoin market is ATH. So I like investing and holding more than trading, and I like your point very much.

The two teams will face each other tomorrow in the final match of the ICC World Cup 2023 India vs Australia. As we know India have basically played finals only three times before out of which they won two matches and lost one match. India won the cup in 1983 World Cup and 2011 World Cup, but it was against Australia that India lost the 2003 World Cup. Once again in 2023 we see Australia and India face each other in the World Cup final, surely this match will be very interesting. And this is Australia's eighth World Cup final, where they have won five World Cup trophies. Moreover, Australia has reached the final 8 times in the World Cup, 1975, lost, 1987 win, 1996 loss, 1999 win, 2003 win, 2007 win, 2015 win, what will happen in the 2023 final? I think if Australia can bat and bowl well against India, then surely they will beat India and win the World Cup trophy for the sixth time.
745  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: How close are you to your father? on: November 17, 2023, 03:33:59 PM
Father is the most important thing for a family in every part of the world. We can Dey that it is God's gift because a person who does not have a father understands how difficult the world is. We can say that a father is like a banyan tree that overshadows its child as long as it lives in the world. Running a family requires a lot of money and food, which only the father works hard too provide for his children. A family only depends on the father too move forward, father's role is essential in every country in the world. From childhood, we grew up only with the love of our parents, they never let us suffer but they themselves worked hard too keep us happy. When we were children, father worked very hard for us and gave us everything, including food. That's why we should keep parents happy now, and we earn hard-earned money too spend it on family. And just as our father raised us and worked hard, we should raise our children when we become fathers.

ICC World Cup 2023 World Cup Australia vs India will be the match which looks to be interesting. But my opinion and my personal prediction is that India is the better form of the two teams in this final match. The way they played from start to finish was truly amazing beating every team by a huge margin and so far India team has not lost a single match. But the World Cup is happening in the soil of India, due to which they are strong, and the World Cup will be in their hands, it is predicted by everyone and the campaign is going on in the social media. We have seen Australia defeated in the previous match and the final match will start with that Australia on Indian soil. It is very difficult to say how well Australia will play this match, but we have seen all the Australian players batting well. If every batsman in Australia bats brilliantly against India in the final match, then there is a possibility that Australia will win the cup. Also, I have seen on social media that people are talking about India the most because India will take the cup this time, I think 2023 World Cup will be held in India.
748  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Market Chart November and December 2023!! on: November 17, 2023, 02:23:44 PM
I voted between $40k and $45k which I see is the second majority choice, with the first being a bit more bearish, between $40k and $42k. I guess after so long of bear market and half a year of sidelines people don't want to throw the bells out yet. Everything looks good, and therefore I think the trend is going to be upward in the coming months.
I think so too since the Bitcoin market has been in a downtrend for the past few months but is no longer there. I think the Bitcoin market will be around $45k in November and December though many have voted here. But I agree with you that certainly after half a year the Bitcoin market has a good chance of moving forward and at a higher level. Since the Bitcoin halving is only a few months away, and we see the potential for the Bitcoin market to go well, then we are in the market. All in all, it is likely that Bitcoin will trend higher in the coming months.

Games that have no goals from the first half to the end of the game is just boring to watch, and this Liechtenstein vs Portugal game is one of those games we expect to see goals coming in from different angles but no it didn't happen.
The first half of the game is quite disappointing to me, because I was expecting to see the visitors (Portugal) dropping like 3-4 goals before heading into half-time but is still goalless.
I hope with the stars that Portugal are having in this fixture it won't end in a draw or 0-2 win, at least Cr7 need to score more goals to increase his goal scoring record.
The first half was a frustrating affair between the two teams, with neither team attacking well and scoring in the first half.  Maybe Portugal would have played well from start to finish in the match, but that was not the case, rather they had a very bad first half. Portugal has good stars currently according to that if they perform well they could have won by more goals but not so good favor them. Although the match ended 0-2, the match started very disappointingly, but Portugal attacked well in the second half. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in the 46th minute to put his team ahead of the opposition. And the second goal on 57 minutes made the game even better as Portugal didn't allow the opposition to attack as they eventually held on to the game. In the last minute they pulled off a win and stayed on the points table with 27 points. So far, in 9 matches, Portugal have not lost a single match and have had a great run in all matches.
750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is King on: November 17, 2023, 08:20:02 AM
We know without a doubt that Bitcoin is king because without Bitcoin all cryptocurrencies would not exist. Bitcoin is the virtual currency that can eliminate the financial problems of an investor and make him financially prosperous. Moreover, people can earn good amount of money by investing in Bitcoin and its popularity has increased tremendously all over the world. Many countries have legalized Bitcoin as legal tender and introduced Bitcoin trading, which is really interesting. Countries that have opened up this Bitcoin have prospered financially because Bitcoin is a store of value. The price of this Bitcoin is always increasing, and its popularity is constantly increasing, and people have been able to earn a lot of money by investing in it. Not only for earning bitcoins, people also use bitcoins for foreign transactions and factory transactions. By using Bitcoin people get their maximum security for which this virtual currency is most popular and called the king of crypto world.

6) Financial Pressure

Don't put your financial burden on the market if not you will have yourself to blame. What is good is that you make a term plan and stick to it. Be gradual and moderate in your pursue of profit.

7) Series of Successes

This is difficult as one success makes you want to go on and on. Know that with series of successful trade especially in a season comes with over confidence which will make you not pay attention to your rules to effectively execute trade .

NOTE: These are not rules but advise that will advance you and make you profitable.


I think this is some of the best advice that someone has given me. The major reason most people are willing to invest in or take risks in the crypto market is because they have financial pressure. The financial problems make them blind and definitely lead them to make stupid decisions. Especially because they are urged to take a step without even being aware of the real situations happening around them. People in that position are willing to take any risk to get rid of their problems, but that risk has cost them a lot.And the series of successes is the energy or fuel they get to go on. We can't say to give up after success, but be more cautious about your next move.
I think not everyone trades with such a plan because of financial stress, if one goes to trade he will definitely lose his money. Again, taking risk is most important in trading because one can never make a profit without taking risks. Due to financial problems, if one starts trading without understanding then one will never be able to profit but will always face losses. I have seen many people start trading for the greed of money but at some point they lose money which is really sad but if that person trades wisely one can definitely expect good things. But if you are starting a business, then of course the most important thing is that you continue it at first, and you will be successful once. And if you don't take risk then you can never make such profit, so it's a very good plan to take risk, but it's best to trade with small amount of money.

South Africa won the toss and batted worst today, we have seen them play their best in previous matches and won brilliantly. But no one thought that they would perform so badly against Australia in the semi-final, however in today's match South Africa could not score many runs due to poor batting in favor of Australia. All the players who came out to bat in the power play batted under a lot of pressure and got out for very few runs. I don't see a very good batsman to play in today's match so far, even though it's almost late in the game South Africa is yet to score 200 runs. But if a batsman like David Miller had batted well, he would have scored 300 runs in today's match. But no batsman could do such a situation due to which South Africa had to bat in the worst way today. If the two batsmen who are now at the crease eat at the end, they may be able to collect like 220 runs at the end. And the Australian team bowled well in today's match, they must be credited because they have been playing well since the beginning. I think Australia will bat in the second innings and easily win against South Africa in today's match. At this moment, the South African team has collected 160 runs in 41 overs with the loss of 6 wickets.
754  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need advice on getting merits on: November 16, 2023, 11:57:03 AM
Hi guys, I want to ask some tips on getting some merits. I somehow feel jealous when I see other full members having tons of it even if they're just new to the forum. I know that there are some ways to earn it like being active in your local board, engaging in the gambling threads talking about particular sports, create an informational thread, or have some deep knowledge about bitcoin's technical like block size, hash rate, etc. And that's my concern, I am not good with any of those stuffs. I am not a sports enthusiasts nor good in bitcoin technical. Our local board is not that active also compared to others where I see some members' their main merit source.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking my time to read my post. Cheers!  Smiley
Knowledgeable posts must be made to qualify. Moreover, since you are a full member, you must have acquired good knowledge about this and posted like people for which you have come up. For a new person to qualify, he must first make his posts look human and post various information about Bitcoin. Moreover, to gain merit one has to go to different places and give good advice to people which is beneficial and encouraging to all. Anyway, if you do well in your local boards you will get merit there, everyone is posting good to increase merit. Also, if you have good knowledge about Blockchain and Bitcoin, then sharing them to everyone can surely qualify you from there.

Today's match is going to be very exciting as both the teams are strong enough, and they are at their best in this ICC 2023. And I am predicting the game today maybe South Africa will not be able to meet Australia, but Australia will beat South Africa today and will be selected from the semi-final match to the final match.

2nd semifinal match
Australia Vs South Africa


Toss win: South Africa
Team win: Australia
Best Batsmen: Mitchel Marsh
Best bowler: Adam Zampa
756  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price $45k by ending of 2023: AI prediction on: November 16, 2023, 06:33:14 AM
The year 2023 is only a few days away, and then we will see the arrival of the new year. We can see that currently the Bitcoin market has gained a good amount between the months of November, and today we see the Bitcoin market around $38,000. Accordingly, we can say with certainty that by the end of 2023, the Bitcoin market will reach $45,000. We have seen many early predictions which have been very accurate, and accordingly we can trust this prediction with certainty. The Bitcoin market is currently bullish and may see further growth in 2024 towards the end of the year. The reason the Bitcoin market is currently bullish is that we have a halberd ahead of us, which is probably why the Bitcoin market is bullish.
757  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some rich person not interest about bitcoin for following reason on: November 16, 2023, 05:53:41 AM
A friend of mine is not interested in buying Bitcoin even after learning about it.
Because according to him Bitcoin is a small number of people who have a lot of Bitcoin. They can easily go down on the bitcoin market if they want to.
Example: Cz. Craig wright & Michel Sailor etc.

Looking forward to the well thought out opinion of the experienced in this regard.

If your friend learns about Bitcoin and doesn't like to invest, maybe he has a lot of wealth. If so, then your friend's level might be a rich person, which is why he doesn't care much about Bitcoin. If he owns a huge wealth, he will not be so interested in Bitcoin. But if your friend sees the future of Bitcoin, he will surely understand how high the price of Bitcoin is likely to go.

New Zealand vs India in today's first semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup. India will enter the field as the favorite team in today's match. It is not unknown to anyone that the Indian team is at the top of the cricket chest. As a fan of Indian cricket team, I expect India to win the first semi-final match. It is expected that in today's match the Indian team will present a wonderful match to the cricket lovers. Today's first semi-final match will start shortly. Only 35 minutes left for this match to start.
India won the match and elected to bat first . India set a score of 397 runs with fall of 4 wickets. Virat Kohli played very well and performed century for his country. He made excellent  117 runs in just 113 balls and Shreyes Iyer played an excellent inning of  105 runs in just 70 balls. Rohit Sharma made 47 runs in just 29 balls , Shubman Gill played very well and he remained not out at the end of inning and he made 80 runs in just 66 balls . Tim Southee took 3 wickets and Trent boult took 1 wicket but no bowler performed well. New Zealand score is 30 with fall of no wicket in 4.4 overs . New Zealand have to play excellent to win this match.
If India had not batted first, they might not have been able to put up such a big score. And today batting in the first innings scored 397 runs for the loss of 4 wickets which I think is one of the biggest scores. Moreover, in Indian team Virat Kohli has batted brilliantly in every match and scored centuries and in today's match too he batted brilliantly and scored 117 runs. Iyer also had a great batting performance scoring a century of 105 runs, every player batting well which led to such a big score. However, currently the New Zealand team is not in a very good batting form they have already lost two wickets which is very disappointing for the team. New Zealand's game today looks like they will surely lose because there is a lot of fear that they may not be able to meet the target of so many runs. New Zealand should have played well from the start to win this match, but they couldn't. So it is more likely that the New Zealand team will lose the semi-final match against India today.
759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 15, 2023, 11:50:51 AM
India team won the Toss in today's semifinal match, currently they are in attractive batting forms. The Indian batsmen have made a good performance against the great New Zealand. Today's match batting performance looks like India can be compatible today as 400 runs. Already, Virat Kohli has scored a century, at the moment, 106 runs in 108 balls from his bat. In the way that the Indian team is collecting today, they will win against New Zealand. And the Indian team is still a match and lose in the ICC. Accordingly, today matches and they will perform good performance and there is a possibility of winning a huge margin and will be in the final against New Zealand.
