781  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Making wise use of your crypto finance on: January 31, 2024, 10:19:15 PM
When I see some older folks suffering today despite doing well during their youthful age it baffles me a lot and this makes me to think and accept the saying that says,  he who fails to plan,  plan to fail.

This adage is very important because at a young age when you have all the energy to do whatever you think is right and necessary to increase your financial life,  instead of saving that money,  some youths will rather spend that money on things that do not give both present and future values,  so is very important to clear up a lot of things before diving I to this subject of how best to make use of the opportunity that comes along the line while growing up as a youth.

Sometimes,  it is not good enough to invest alone,  but also spending the time to get the necessary financial knowledge is very important to know the right investments and assets to diversify into.

If anyone must achieve any desire in life, he must have the self control to control his lists cause here I am burning with desire to accumulate bitcoin and this same me went ahead to forfeit it for a game. All I know is I'm never gonna make this same mistake again.
It's good to know that you've gone back to your initial plan of staying on Bitcoin by readjusting your priority. You don't place your harvest season in your sowing season. You invest now for tomorrow's financial gratuity and satisfaction. That's what every investor aims at. Don't let immediate gratification distract you from your goal.

Again, I won't disparage anyone for taking out their savings to get themselves some vanities that make them happy without investing it. It's their choice to make. Your money and your choice, and hopefully your story isn't a fairytale.
Many who got into cryptocurrency recently let say since the 2017 bull run has come in with the expectation to get quick profits,  and at that,  the focus was on altcoins since the belief that altcoins will give them such gains within a short term,  this has to lead many of them into investing in the wrong coin and at some point also making some regrettable decisions that have affected their capital for both long term and short term investment.

And only after they bad experience, did they their realise that Bitcoin is the only most suitable investment as far as long-term goals are concerned.
783  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Almost made a bad investment decision today 🥺🥺 on: January 31, 2024, 09:33:20 PM
I almost made a bad investment decision today, i was at the verge of investing on a low value market cap altcoin not to mention the name.
 I was just searching for a coin that I can invest a little funds on to hold for the next five years, I had already picked up my phone to complete transaction before it occurred to me that I should always make informed decisions, it was then I found out that I was just carried away by the price of the coin ☺️, with this conciousness I decided to do a little research and analysis, I found out that the coin is on a massive decline with a strong double top pattern heading towards the neckline ,which is a strong indication of a future down side move. So in cause of this experience, I learnt a very important lesson , always do an in-depth research and analysis before committing funds to an investment decision.

 
You are looking for a low cap altcoin to hold for five good year's,  are you kidding me, anyways thank goodness you never made that mistake,  because this could have been a disastrous experience for you in the long run because if you ever want to hold any coin as an investment for the long term,  I advise you go for more stable and less pumped and dumped coins like bitcoin and as a newbie, you should start your investment journey with Bitcoin instead of risking your investment on altcoins that may crash at any point in time.

Since it has become a known fact that Bitcoin is the least volatile and has a long-term record of market sustenance,  this shows to a large extent to what we can expect.

You can't blame either the players or the coach even the management for the failure of some teams,  in the African Cup of Nations this year,  and if you have been following up with histories, you will already know that African football lime the cups of the nation is still very far from being a world-class tournament,  this is because many negative factors are at play so if you expect to see the same level of professionalism you see in the international tournament in this league,  well you will be very disappointed because that is not going to happen.

So to come up with a single factual conviction of what is really going on it will be a hard one but we need to look at the problem in a holistic view.
785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: January 31, 2024, 08:18:45 PM

The meeting of these two great players will definitely be witnessed by many football fans in Saudi Arabia. The reason is, after Ronaldo and Messi no longer played for European clubs, they met less and less on the field. As far as I know, Ronaldo and Messi's last match took place, last year. At that time, Messi was still in the PSG uniform and Ronaldo had just joined Al Nasr. So it's been a long time since they met in the field. Maybe this Al Nasr versus Inter Miami match will definitely satisfy the fans' longing. Maybe the victory or defeat that will occur in this match will definitely become a hot topic of conversation in the world of football. The reason is, even though Ronaldo and Messi are quite old, the fans of both of them definitely want their idols to win in this match.

And hopefully in the Al Nasr and Inter Miami match this time, both clubs can show their best players. Because if, for example, the performance of both clubs is not 100%, it just doesn't feel right. So I hope players like Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez can play in this match. Meanwhile from Al Nasr, hopefully Brozovic, Talisca and Mane can also play in the match against Inter Miami later. Because if both clubs perform optimally, I think the match will definitely be more exciting and entertaining for us to watch. Even though in the last few weeks the Al Nasr players who were included in the Saudi Arabian national team have been busy with the Asian Cup, it seems that Saudi Arabia's struggle also ended in the Asian Cup because they were defeated by South Korea in the round of 16 on penalties. So it is very likely that Al Nasr players who are members of the Saudi Arabian national team will have the opportunity to take part in the match against Inter Miami.
Ronaldo and Messi are known currently to be world football stars and they have this effect on every team they're in, the fans and football in general. They're two comparisons that just can't be exhausted. Their style of football varies but are top notch.Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr had impact on the club in terms of fan building and gameplay, Al Nassr came to the spotlight and they had more recognition and views in their games than before. For Messi, he has thesame effect in Inter Miami as Ronaldo did in Al Nassr. The both players are appreciated in their respective teams and they're the reason why our of the blue the two clubs are watched closely by fans.

 For the game between Al Nassr and Inter Miami, there's a reason why it's fixed and other than normal European contests, that game is one that'd be the center of attraction in the world. Everyone wants to see the world best players against themselves one more time. I anticipate the game also, although I percieve that Al Nassr would have an upper hand against Inter Miami but let me not predict. The game is one that'll surely bring back the most heated argument of who's the best player amongst the two men and I really can't wait for the result.
AI Nassr as a club did a very good selection for the club in this season and infact their spent their money wisely by going for the best players regardless of how much there have to pay to get them on the team,  the result of that decision helped the team a lot and this can be seen in the club performance for this season,  we have recorded a lot of winning compared to the loses and or even a draw,  this is a reflection of the calibre of players that are present in the club,  and also we have to check properly well to see that if and when everything continues at its present state,  AI Nassrr may end up being the winner of the tournament since no club in the Saudi Arabia league is marching up to them at the resent level.
786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 31, 2024, 08:07:28 PM
3 of our best players went for drug test and to be sincere with you I was surprised with this movement. Is it that CAF is looking for a way to make Nigeria lose our next game? Thank God V. Osimhen, Simon Moses and Troost-Ekong all tested negative and these are key players that we really need in this game against Angola, I don't know what they're planning against the Super Eagles. Another problem is our goalkeeper who was injured in our last game against Cameroon and I pray by tomorrow we'd hear a positive news because I honestly don't want Uzoho to be in that goalpost 😁.
Well this is a sad one for the Super Eagles because losing two key players is not what the Nigeria team can afford right now,  and to be sincere with you,  anything that makes the Nigeria team to perform lesser in the tonight's match,  it will have a huge negative impact on the team overall performance for the remaining days of the tournament,  this is very important and since this guys have been performing near average lately,  it is advisable to keep that steady pest if not there may slide out completely.

I thought they had gone through all possible drug tests before the start of this league,  am saddened to hear this that the two most active front-liners are off the team tonight.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 31, 2024, 06:56:20 PM
If you take out a loan for an interest-free period and repay the loan before the end of this period, then everything is fine.

It is insensitive to take a loan because of gambling even if it is an interest-free loan. There will always be an inner feeling of regret when paying back the loan since it wasn't utilized in any meaningful venture.

In addition, gambling has never been 100% and there will never be a time when it will be 100% so why take up an interest-free loan to gamble? Such palliative should be used to our advantage and not otherwise.
To me,  whoever takes a loan is already an addict simply because he is no longer gambling for the fun but has gone to the level of addiction since he has uncontrollable gambling urge such as this level that will push them to loan money to continue to gamble with,  this is is why we always kick against taking a loan.

Most of the gambling results are unpredictable and don't go the long gambler's expectations so for that one can not guarantee winnings to pay back the loans and in the end, could become a debt to the gambler.
788  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: January 31, 2024, 06:16:59 PM

In fact, I see that currently the Curacao license is one of the reasons for gambling players choose a gambling site, well players will feel safe playing on a gambling site when they see that the site has received a license from Curacao

If you compare it with FreeBitco and Bustadice, I don't think it will ever be the same, because there are many other big gambling sites currently registering their sites with a Curacao license, but back to each person's view, from what I see, it's not a big problem with curacao license
I agreed with you to some extent though because most of the casinos that we have around are all carrying Curacao licenses and to me, I believe the reason why they have popularity around casinos is the ease of obtaining the license at first, because when you talk about casino obtaining licensing you should also talk about the government policies towards issuing of licence to casinos, and that is one of the most important aspects and the reason why Curacao became a safe haven for most casinos looking forward to obtaining a license.

So for sure many of them have failed to meet up with the reputational demands of operating a license casinos because they have violated the role that guides such licenses.
789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: January 31, 2024, 05:44:05 PM
The thing is that, having an addict as a family member doesn't mean that you can hup into their private life and sometimes it takes an intense pressure before I get involved in other people affairs, this is because gambling addiction is a strong hold and to get out of it requeirs alot from the individual involved who is the victim, because it is his willingness that will grant him the will power to beat the addictions.

For that we have to wait for them to make of their mind to be willing to over come they addictions because that is the only way to get out of that problem at some points.
790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: January 30, 2024, 11:14:12 PM
I have a hanging out friend who is having trouble paying his house installments, he wanted to borrow money from me but I didn't give it to him because I didn't have the amount he was borrowing at that time, I advised him to borrow from another friend but their answer was still the same, finally, he was a little desperate and with the little money he had he put the money into the online slot application, unfortunately, instead of succeeding in doubling his money, he lost all his money because he lost in the online slot application

The valuable message that can be taken from my friend above is never take risks to gamble to pay off your debts, the pressure is very big, the chance is very small that you can pay off your debts, often you end up losing even more and losing your money. look for loans, sell your valuables or look for part-time work to pay off your debts, is a good way rather than playing the small money you have in gambling
Taking gambling to means a way of getting financial help is a big risk in itself and anyone that takes such rout will always end up in more loses that he can recover from, so for that hard it been that your hanging out friend have savings he would have also gamble it away just the way he did in this time, and not only your friend but so many other people act this way, by taking gambling to become they means of getting out of financial problems which have proven to be a bad step since there is no assurance of winning the bet.

I don't and I can't take gambling to mean what it is not, just like I have always said, gambling should be done for fun and that is why you must stake an amount of money that you can afford to lose, so why then will someone who is already indepted want to gamble, I think gambling at that point will drag him into more loses on the long run.
791  Other / Off-topic / Re: You can not win if you do not risk on: January 30, 2024, 11:02:02 PM
Good day guys, how is the gambling industry helping you this period?

However I just want to say that in the game world gamblers are always there to bet and the important thing here is when a gambler can not risk he also can not win, true or false?
Many might still believe that a gamblers who's just gambling at the first day might end up winning w huge amount of money that he wasn't expecting but the truth is that as long as you stake on bet you have already risk your money, be it big or small.
Yeah there is no reward without risks and for that, only the risk takers always end up winning something tangible and for that we can say that for anyone to amount to anything in the gambling industry he/she must be ready to lose and at the same time because ready to also celebrate the winngs when it comes, sometimes, gamblers are so afraid of taking the necessary risk that can change their lives life, e.g when a gambler be a small amount on a sure bet due to his fear of losing.

Instead of taking the risk and facing whatever that becomes the outcome, because sometimes only risk stand ls between us and our desires and for that we must have the ability to take risk at all time because that is the only to make up for what we have lose or intended to win from beginning.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: January 30, 2024, 09:24:12 PM

 Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing base on some people's point of view here in the forum whereas in reality it has given some people the capital to start what ever business they want to do. My point in this post is that we shouldn’t just paint gambling all black because some people have fail to stick to the discipline of gambling.


There is no doubt that gambling has helped some people step up on the level of financial independence but that is a very small average of people and I believe those who have benefited that way are not addict gamblers, they are reasonable gamblers who got lucky and use betting profit to better their lives. However, the reason that majority of the response try to throw some guide on gambling is because what what they see, withness and even part of the majority that has been losing in gambling. It is normal if you are losing to let others understand that it is not a tea party to make it from gambling because there are gamblers who are expecting to make it through gambling and they need to hear the reality from participants who have also felt that way but unsuccessful.
The ratio of those who have got helped through gambling to set up themselves is relatively low compared to the numbers of those who have lost their money and becoming bankruptcy, this is what have been onnthe average and we have to accept that reality, and despite the fact that we can undermind that possibility but we still need to point out the obvious truth that the numbers of successful gamblers are less comparde to the problematic gamblers.

And all that is as a result of the outcome of theor gambling results and realities, so gambling shouldn't be taken as a way to financial freedom and we should only gamble because of the fact that we have some level of fun and staking only an amount we can afford to lose and be comfortable with so we don't have to blame the casino or gambling for whatever realities that weay face at some point in time when you feel you need to blame someone for the reality of things.
793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Two casinos with Curaçao license but with different restricted territories list on: January 30, 2024, 08:17:09 PM
Different teams with their own peculiar restrictions and whatake that happens at times is due to their country of locations and how best the platform thinks their can handle the issues with security and the others that comes along with accepting those countries on their list, so for that having the same licence does not automatically means that the casino will have same restrictions demands.

Sometimes those licenses have little to nothing to do with countries restrictions, because most time those restrictions are from the countries internet protocols so it may give access to casino alA and not give to casino B.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2 years old kids alone at home for hours, while the father goes gambling on: January 30, 2024, 07:57:51 PM
Shit happens, I am wondering why this man doesn't gamble using his smartphone in his home, maybe he is one of those old uneducated people in the world? As there are many like them that can't even operate a smartphone, they don't know what login using email and password feels like.
Shit happens?? Shit happens is when forget your keys and you find yourself locked out, Shit happens is when your crush hooks up with your best friend. This is not a Shit happens scenario. Gambling online wouldn’t have helped the situation, he could also have been in the house, gambling on his phone and forget about the kids playing outside. This man has a gambling problem and has lost his sense of responsibility to his kids and his family. A lot could have gone wrong if the neighbor had not taken initiative to look after the children and call the police. I can only hope he gets the help he needs.  
Well for the fact that the story sounds so pathetic and unbelievable because for a father to leave a helpless kid at home just to go a gamble, what he could have done from m the comfort of his home is what I don't understand because if I go straight to declare him an addicts in my comment it may sound as inappropriate for many because we have no idea of what the conditions of the games are and at what stage he left the child.

He can not be a hard cure gambling addict's because he has some sense of responsibility in him which is the reason the mother of the child left the kid with him in the first place, but along the, he did wrong by allowing his urge to have the best part of his thoughts to the extent of leaving the kid alone just to go and gamble.
795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying with Bitcoin. on: January 30, 2024, 07:04:28 PM
Despite the fact that, bitcoin is a currency it has higher asset features which is something that we have to align ourselves with and the reason why many bitcoin holders don't want to use bitcoin for payment rather store it as a store of value, and also due to the techenicality of bitcoin, it rather being used to store values rather than a currency.

Although if the receiver who is the seller of the goods or services, is well knowledge about bitcoin and the sender agree to pay with bitcoin, why not, bitcoin transferable features makes that to be very easy to achieve since one can comfortably send any amount from the total balance to the recieving wallet.

So yes bitcoin can be used for payments.
796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: January 30, 2024, 06:15:55 PM
I will first of all look tlat the relationship between me and that person and if he is someone that we have good rapo with, I will try and advice them, well I can't promise to be by they side all the time, but then if he seek my help at any time, I will gladly offer them that help but if not, then I will rather remain on my own because for an addict to make it out freely, there is a need for them to first of all agree within themselves that they want to quite, otherwise forcing them to do so may become counter productive.

Secondly I may only offer personal stuport if the individual involved is a very close person to me otherwise, I will rather respect my boundaries and keep to myself.

797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is bitcoin linked to the main owner? on: January 30, 2024, 03:22:48 PM
Read this fascinating story of a young bitcoin fellow named Jimmy who stole from silk road. The site happened to have a glitch and Jimmy withdrew 50,000 btc. The owner of silk road contacted him when it appeared to him, that 50k btc disappeared from his wallet due to the glitch, but Jimmy afforded him no help. Later, Jimmy transferred $800 to a KYC enabled exchange, and the cops were able to link it back to the stolen 50,000btc from silk road. How possible is this?


This is a simple thing and anyone following the wallet that the stolen funds was sent to will have follow up of whoever and where ever the bitcoin is sent to, so this should not be a misery to you at some point because at some point you need to give up some privacy anytime you chose to use a centralised platform like exchangeszl, and from this user incident, you can see that the coin was traced to his kyc exchange wallet and he was caught.

Bitcoin is like every other currency, once you have commited a crime by taking coins that is not your own, the authorities will have to right to do a fosice analysis on your wallet and sometimes, they can request for other information from exchanges.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 29, 2024, 05:38:00 PM
What a bad end for a mighty player of BArcelona like Xavi, but well this is football and not only football the most high level football, so its not easy to become a great player and a great coach, Barcelona seems to be in the same pace as Manchester United, huge teams who lose the path and cant come back to the good one, no matter what they do.
What I have noticed with clubs in terms of consistency is that, for a club to retain it performance or records based on tournament title, they have to apply some can of strong factors and if a club failed in that directions, they will be having alot of problems struggling to be consistent, Barcelona in the last season was on top of the league and even beating bigger clubs like Real Madrid who also struggled for the title with Barcelona.

But in this season 2023-2024, same Barcelona is losing it consistency and also not being able to mentain the previous record their created, this and many more makes it hard for us to rightly speculate what the conditions of a club will be until we see them play out the 90 minutes.

Emotions is a bad gambling attributes because it deprive you the ability to have a focus view of the analysis of the game since you mind is divided, most gambler's don't respond to emotions and that is why they can be able to manage themselves from falling into some condition that could be hard for them to recover from at some point.

Most of us that have managed to sustain ourselves from falling into possible addiction or conditions thatay not being good for us to bear have all done so by applying that simple approach of not allowing ourselves to be overly eaten by emotions.
800  Other / Off-topic / Re: Know when to stop on: January 29, 2024, 05:19:52 PM
Edited
Not really, because the impact that a gambler who doesn't know when to stop gambling can have can cause him to lose more and more money. There is another more serious impact of losing money where they can also experience gambling addiction, which will get worse. All gamblers must know what the impact is, and maybe the impact will be different for each gambler, so they need to prevent the impact from happening to them.

If a gambler blames the gambling company, it is his own fault for not being able to control himself. He should have known that gambling carries the risk of losing money, which could even take all his money. And to avoid the risk of losing that money, he really needs to have self-control so he can know when to stop gambling before all his money is gone. The casino will win the case because the casino does not force the gambler to continue gambling until the money runs out. Even casinos always emphasize being able to gamble responsibly.
Yes you are right mate, the ability of the gambler to have a stoppage time is his only exit from loses on the long run, this is because he will have more loses than winning and at that will end in either debts or other financial crisis, Many times it has been proven, that those that have a well defined gambling timing always end up making the best gambling decision and their have been able to manage themselves to a point that the walk away in which ever direction they may fine themselves.

So knowing when to stop is Very important for a gambler and many times it has become a known facts to have limits to everything if you want to go far in that thing.
