Great news!

Oh Gosh - 28% tax
It's not much since you can hold for a year and get 0%, pretty much like in Germany. I find this to be a fair tax, as many countries have close to 20% income tax that you pay regardless of whether you're a holder or a trader.

What would you rather have? 28% if you sell in less than a year, or 20% flat tax without exceptions?
That is if you are patient enough to hold your cryptos for a year but there must be obstacles that can come in your way like if your personal funds have run out unexpectedly and you badly need more funds, or if the price have pumped up. I think you will still decide to sell your cryptos but if I were to choose I think I will go for this tax rule because I am sure that I will never sell my cryptos no matter what.

I am more into longer terms anyway and have some experience in the past in terms of hodling a coin. I agree with you that this is a good news more than a bad one because this will be forced others to hodl their crypto and we know what are the effects of it. Yes, it helps the price grow stably.
882  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: REFLEX ACTION IN GAMBLING AND TIPS TO AVOID ITS PITFALLS. on: October 13, 2022, 06:51:36 PM
• Use money set aside for entertainment, not for rent, tuition or other bills.

If you could just simply stick with this basic principle, then you wont really be putting yourself into a huge mess or headache with gambling.
Spend on the amount which isnt really intended for priorities.If you could really just stick into that then there would be no problems in terms of financial.
You wont really be making yourself fell into those possible problems ahead.Stick into your means and dont go beyond borders.
Always have limits and be wary on actions that might be changed up later on.
Not just that but other tips in the op are all useful and must be applied so that we can attain the full effectiveness of responsible gambling. Whenever I earned my salary I always think about my expenses first like the bills and then the groceries. I set aside the money on them and left only a little amount for myself to try my luck in gambling.

I am very thankful that I already beaten my urge in gambling. I am a different person now compared to before where I can use the money that is already separated for important things. It gives me a lot of stress, regrets and other negative emotions. I don't like living that way, that is why I tried my best to fix myself.

the longer you play the chance for you to lose everything is likely to happen, but betting everything in one go will take out much of the entertainment side of it, imagine you login bet everything then get out whether you win or lose, it will not keep you 5 minutes in the casino, I have not done this before I don't know how many are doing this but maybe those who take gambling as it is, log in, bet everything then logs out  Cheesy
But the longer you play can sometimes lead you to hit your desired multiplier. This is why once I continue playing for a long time, I never stop anymore or reset my seed, or reload the page because I can sense that I am close to my target. I think that postponing the game and then trying to come back later on, will only restart all the progress that I made earlier. That's only for me but for some, maybe they have a different betting style and they never think that previous plays can affect their recent session.

If you gamble for profit then you can all in your bets and leave whatever the result will be but if you are playing for fun then you need to budget your bets to be able to achieve it.

I like the last part and you have a valid suggestion. Main players such as Kohli and Rohit have failed again and again in ICC tournaments. Maybe time has come to give chances to some of the younger players such as Avesh, Ishan and Washington in the ICC tournaments. Anyway the squad has been announced already and I am not expecting any last minute changes now. And to be honest, I don't have any hope that they will lift the trophy this time. The team is not even taking it seriously. Look at the number of warmup matches that are scheduled.
Right now as BCCI have resources and players power they can bring competition into their own system which will have positive impact with mostly big players will feel pressure, and they have to perform, or their chances could be slim to stay into top it's surely big game from them which is having all win-win for them because currently their investments are giving them good return.

Now they can feel relaxed so here this T20 world cup could be vital for few players because if they fail to perform then surely they have to face something which is not expected for them but beneficial for selectors because experience and performance are good, and these guys can go into any event for having good results.

Scary moment for the Charlotte Hornets today as LaMelo Ball screamed out in pain driving to the lane. It looked like a bad ankle injury, which it was, but doctors just confirmed it’s a sprain so he’ll be back before too long. He is expected to miss the first few games of the year but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s ready to go for the start of the season.
I think the injury will just last after the preseason so we will see this talented young gun in the season and hope the rest that missed this preseason debut. I wouldn't be surprised as well, there are lot of players right now that is going to be exciting to watch if they're healthy and LaMelo is one of that, Zion, Kawhi to name a few.
The good news is he walked back to locker room, which means that he must be doing something right, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am not saying that he is fine or anything, but even if he is injured for a period of time, it would probably not be anytime that would be long enough to bother anyone.

Hornets are not that great anyway, so they could take the time to let him heal as good as he would, because that means we are talking about them losing games but with him on the floor they still lose anyway. MJ was one of the greatest, probably the greatest ever basketball player ever lived, but he is definitely not a good owner at all by the looks of how the team has done since he took over.

So How will willing are you to spend crypto for your purchases?
In the case of a decrease in the price of bitcoin, we cannot spend purchases using bitcoin, because it is contrary to the investment concept that we build. For example, you buy bitcoin at a price of $19,443 then try to spend some items when the bitcoin is at a selling price of $ 18,000 (assuming), this will make you lose and the concept of investing is not like that.
Then how to solve this problem, maybe short-term trading can be a reference to avoid these problems, whether shopping for goods using bitcoin payments or to avoid the basic investment capital that we make
You and I could use it for investment but the reality is that there are a lot of people who use it as well, just because we see it as investment doesn't mean everyone sees it the same way as well.

Some people see bitcoin as something that is purely investment worthy in the long sense, and that’s the important part for me, but some people see it as currency on their business or regular lives and they do end up spending it or earning it as well. That way it is basically a fiat replacement for them, everything they do, they try to spend crypto, even if they cannot spend it directly, they cash it to fiat and spend it, and they earn it by working as well.
887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why 95% online Gambling websites are Scam? on: October 11, 2022, 06:18:24 PM
Hi guys I know That it silly thing because gambling is a thing in which only casino wins
.and a user will always loose it's money. And gambling makes people poor and drain everything from money to joy. And that sucks.
In 2017 I was introduced by Bitsler.com
This website took me at least 2000 dollars a that time. There was a time when I have at least 3 ETHER at the rate of dollars. And I regret that day when I lost everything. And that took my life from me. And that was the was the day I never entered this type of scams ever. And I know people will say that we become greedy. But system is designed I n such way that it took people money and everything that we had. And I know it just that hard.
I don't believe bitsler is a scam. There are people who claims it is but they lack proof and I think until now bitsler is not proven to be guilty. The issue was so old but I wonder why you are so late to post it? I think you just played gambling lately and the same thing happened to you where you lost huge.

Gambling is not a scam but you are right that it was designed for them to earn money but gamblers don't just donate money for nothing. They do also play the game in exchange of that. It was like when you go to the fiesta or carnival and you play games there in hopes of getting some prizes. There are literal scam sites and they do this because they want easy money.
888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 11, 2022, 03:39:04 PM
Two important games in the next round the first one between the leader union berlin and dortmund and the second one between the second seat freiburg and bayern munich, it seems like a golden opportunity for bayern to close the gap between them and the leaders if they wanage to beat freiburg and dortmund manage to take points from union berlin and this scenario is likely to happen.
Now as we are heading for tenth round things are taking positive shapes in league table and teams with better quality and performance are coming back on their spots but in this season we have few big disappointments from teams like RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt even these teams have time but things looking not good for them Borussia Dortmund is also having not good performance as now they are going to face Union Berlin which is currently leaders and their home record is also very good after international break Bayern Munich is also done good job and now back in business with they are going to host Freiburg which is currently giving their best at German League.

There is no doubt these results are going to have big impact on league positions because if both home teams won then surely losers can go down and need hard work for having back their spots in league table.

I cant believe Starkick and Sethrey have been talking to each other in this thread for 2 years.. I call that a true dedication to whatever they are doing..

Crypton isn't even listed in any reputable exchanges, it seems that its just being traded in shady exchanges. Waste of energy especially when the electricity prices are going up.
Lol I thought your going to say something else but isn't it suspicious if the two of them are mostly talking in this thread? Oh well, I think all of us already know that they are being controlled by a single person only. Their crypto coin is I think not that energy consuming as the other popular cryptos so no, it's not really a waste of energy and I think we can even mine the coin using a low spec device or maybe by using our mobile phones only.

We can try to allocate some of our time here if ever we have and see if we can get a fortune from this coin in the future. Just be careful when buying it as you said, it's only found on shady exchanges.

Monaco have made a really huge improvement recently. They won all of their last five games and managed to climb to right behind Lens in the standings. Monaco couldn't do it this much early after starting badly in the previous season. But they seem to have learned their lesson from that. They were impressive against Montpellier as well.

It is a really big example of determination comparing them to Marseille now. Not much time ago the point gap between them was very big. But now Monaco have made it only three points. Monaco actually have a decent squad now. The thing they were lacking was consistency and now they have that also.
Monaco surely doing good job after having poor start of this season specially at home they were not good with their away form was still good and until now they lost no match on their away games right now they are fifth in league table with most chances they will be stayed here for some more time because they have no fair chance of going up with top four all are doing good job now in next round we have a big game leaders are going to host Marseille which is surely an interesting game after PSG ends in draw against Reims and Marseille lost against AC Ajaccio at home which bring them down at third spot and now if they lost against PSG then most chanced they could be dropped to fourth which is not good as they need to do better performance if they want to keep their place second in league table.
891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Group Stage Highlights on: October 10, 2022, 02:11:50 PM
I think it's a good thing for European countries, but that means that there's less friendly matches between European teams and the rest of the world. So for example Argentina and Brazil don't get to play with stronger teams in their friendly matches.
Yes, you are right, but this has clearly become a question of money and profit.
UEFA recognized the opportunity to earn extra money and European teams recognized the opportunity to play against Europe's best teams for a title that means something instead of boring friendlies that nobody cares about.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if FIFA reacts and does something similar at the world level, which would include Brazil and Argentina  Grin
Don't we already have a world club championship?  Cheesy
Now FIFA can't do anything against one of the most powerful sports organized UEFA because now with UEFA Nations League schedule is already very busy and if they will bring any new event then surely players will be hurt with this and clubs will also have their own concerns which is surely not acceptable for UEFA as they are having the best system and things are going good for them in current system.

Most of the players are busy for 7 to 8 months, and then they have their local matches like in Europe UEFA Nations League and in Africa, Africa Nations Cup and South Americans enjoying with CONMEBOL so bringing more event is surely not good idea just World Cup is already enough for them as they are fighting against each other after four years and doing their best in regional competitions.

Weighting the circumstances and the possible next market movement is part of us being a trader, if we know what we are doing we will mostly comes up with decision that we needed to live with.

The chance of repeating the same mistake is not impossible to happen you need to do more research and have that confidence with your call when deciding to invest again.

Investing/trading is really a challenging business, not an easy scheme to earn money but a good venue to try your skills plus the luck you've got.
There are a lot of people who make mistakes multiple times, I do them all the time, I am not a marvellous investor who just happens to be right all the time, or even learns from mistakes at first time, it takes me a while. But one thing I learned which made me a lot better is to learn how to be better in the long term, which means you may not be great now, but gradually you could get better, you just need to take one step after another to get better.

This is why it is a lot better result for sure, and will definitely make you money in the end. Plus you could be a long term investor of any project, and the chances of you getting richer goes up each year, unless it’s a scam.
893  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bear And Bull Market? on: October 09, 2022, 06:58:30 PM
What is the real difference between bull and bear market and how can one utilize them to make some good profits?
Real difference would be the movement. That is one is where the price heads upward while the other is on the opposite direction. To be able to utilize them, one must buy whenever there is a bear and then sell whenever there is a bull run.

I know this sounds easy to say but it was actually difficult because we don't know the exact time if where will they come, this is why many are buying on wrong times because they can't wait for the bear, same thing when they sell. They can also sell early and regret when the actual bull run comes. They then end up doing silly things like buying during the bull but they can still earn something if they get lucky that the bull run continues.
894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Conference League 2022/23 Season on: October 09, 2022, 05:05:31 PM
Playing very well this year, Istanbul Başakşehir has not yet conceded a goal in Group A. They scored 7 goals. They have a sensational win against Fiorentina. I am sure that they will go to the next round with Fiorentina in group A.  I was very surprised that they drew against Rigas. They should have easily defeated the weakest team of the group. They may very much need the 2 points they lost against them.
Now as we are already complete first half of matches in this group with the results most chances Basaksehir will be at the top and Fiorentina which is surely having troubles in Serie A and here in Conference League can go into next round with Basaksehir is giving amazing job in both leagues with good results and their quality is also amazing specially win against Italian side give them good confidence which is going to be helpful for them in coming matches.

Hearts are conceding too many goals so with these results most chances they could be having no fair chance and fight is between top two teams for going into next round Fiorentina is also mostly trying to have better results in local league which is surely giving them not good results.
895  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade with a business mindset on: October 08, 2022, 06:00:23 PM
That's why learning to control your emotions is the top priority list in trading, even in everything you do in your life. Emotion is very tricky, you can be easily manipulated by your own emotions if you don't know how to control it. There's a monk saying that "mind is power" therefore it should be separated on your body, but not literally, lol.

This means that your mind is the master of all the things you'll do, but you must have the power to command it, not the other way around. For example, a bad trade after hours or days of making a good technical analysis could result to a huge frustration and disappointment, your mind will probably tell you to quit or enter a trade without any plan, that's danger right there.

So if you know how to control it, the right thing you'll do is to rest, plan again, and trade again.
Monks are good at controlling their emotions because this is part of their training. In the videos that we see they can mostly sit and close their eyes. I think that is called meditation and you don't have to be a monk to be able to do it but any person can practice meditating.

It helps soothes your mind so that you can think better the next time you trade. Bad trades are always present even if we already made a lot of preparation so we should not think negatively after it. We should rather think that there's always next time and I bet a lot of us are doing better at some days so our previous losses will always be recovered while earning something at the same time.
896  Economy / Economics / Re: We should separate the markets for Bitcoin* and centralized altcoins on: October 08, 2022, 04:14:30 PM
Sites likes CMC and Coingecko, they're looking at the numbers only. So beyond that, these sites are not to be used as reference.
CMC and gecko just mixed all cryptos by basing only on their numbers. It's like a global ranking but there must be similar sites which has a different categories in terms of ranking.

Other than ranking a coin, cmc and gecko do also have other features which are useful for those who are dealing with cryptos and I think one of it is their learn and earn a crypto. They still can be used a reference to extend our crypto knowledge but if we want a more precise crypto information then our very own bitcointalk is surely a way to go. We have a lot of topics here not only in bitcoins and anyone is also free to ask a question if they can't find any topic about it.
897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 08, 2022, 08:41:31 AM
Napoli are in their best form right now. They won all three matches. Napoli scored 13 goals and conceded only 2 goals. Ajax and Liverpool are strong teams. Even then, Napoli maintained their dominance against them and won. Maybe the performance of Ajax and Liverpool is not good now. However, Napoli's dominance was evident in every match. I'd say Napoli will qualify for the next round from the top of Group A.
Ten Hag's departure isn't the only reason Ajax's performance has deteriorated. They have sold several players in their squad. And so their performance is still not stable. They need more time to stabilize.
Napoli current form is surely one of the biggest shocking performance because as they sell their few top quality players there was talk they could be suffered badly but from the start of this season they are giving amazing performance in Serie A and Champions League with their win against Liverpool with the score of 4 - 0 is also telling all story how best they are in early stages of both competitions but here now it's time for them to keep momentum because they have history of chocking at the end of the season which is another concern for them in last season as well.

If they are able to keep playing like this surely we can expect good results from them in coming matches which is good for Italian soccer as well because in last few seasons they are suffering badly and have no positive results in European competitions, it's good time for doing their best.

The second motivational theme in recent times. The forum transforms into psychological training. 
And in fact, there are a lot of such guides on how to succeed and everything else on the Internet every day. Furthermore, when compared, all the topics are similar. 
However, if we return to religion, we will recall that God gives each person according to his or her talent. It is important to choose this talent correctly, not to make a mistake, and not bury it in the ground. In life, it is important not to miss your luck; "grab fortune by the tail." 
All those millionaires and successful people were just such people who caught their luck. Just walking through life with the flag "I'm doing well, and I'm rich" will not get you anywhere, even if you regularly read and follow these books.
Indeed there are lots of them now even on social media sites like fb and in tiktok I can see them. I think they are not helping anymore because people will get hook on reading them instead of doing the actual thing.

Some even said that motivation alone is not enough but you need to take real time actions along with it and whenever you started it, consistency must also put in place because I know that sometimes we got bored of doing the same thing every day and there are some days that we completely lost our motivation. For those who says that they are doing well, maybe they mean it? That is why they never try any harder anymore.

Hybrid casinos?  Grin

Accepting Both fiat and crypto payments or options for gamblers on whatever they do prefer on using up.Both options are available.
Also hybrid means, integrating Sportsbook and casinos is also available on the said platforms.

Dont know if this one fits on that category but this is what i do commonly see nowadays.
I think this one is valid. It's true that some casinos are like this and the number of them is growing continuously because cryptocurrency and online gambling are now being known in this era. Pretty interesting how crypto casinos evolved. From the very basic one and now they are starting to be more complex but they need this kind of innovation. It's for them to be more successful.

Speaking about the hybrid payment methods, many fiat based casinos and sportsbetting sites are also venturing into cryptos. They are now supporting bitcoin and few altcoin. It's nice that they are also welcoming us crypto users to try their platforms.

Getafe and Atletico Madrid are not much different teams in the league considering their positions in the standings. Therefore Barcelona and Real Madrid should be able to continue winning by this week as well.

Besides these matches are the last ones before the El Clasico in the league. On October 16, we are finally going to have the first El Clasico of the season. It is going to be very exciting as both sides are playing very consistently in the league. Barcelona might be in a bad condition in the Champions League now but it doesn't affect their performance in the La Liga. As it is in Santiago Bernabeu Real Madrid might seem advantageous but this shouldn't mislead anyone. Because Barcelona demolished them 4-0 here last season.

I think both teams to score is the best option for this one.
Now, we are ready for eight round, and we have just two good interesting matches in this with mostly others are going to be favorable for top teams which are doing good job with Barcelona is going to host Celta Vigo and Real Madrid going to visit Getafe, Atlético Madrid is going to host Girona most chances top teams will take full three points from these matches without any problem.

Real Sociedad vs Villarreal are going to be very entertaining match because currently both teams are doing good job but here visitors are going to face challenge because their current run is not impressive and home side is having good run with two wins from last two matches in another match Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao, even here visitors are hot favorite because their current form and quality amazing and Sevilla is surely having some troubles, but still good fight is expected.
