In life, we make decisions based on our needs placed in order of importance. If the man sees marriage as a cardinal need he wouldn't have risked such an amount on gambling. Greed played an important role in this senseless bet. His excuse that wanted to make more money so that the burden of the wedding expenses would not be on the lady is silly. He would have worked harder or taken another job to achieve that. The simple reason for his behavior is he is very greedy or suffering from gambling addiction. The lady should be careful of him because he might sell their belongings to gamble. He should seek help that will enable him to control his gambling drive. The bride-to-be should also check if he is not addicted to something else like hard drugs.

The business should be seen as a separate entity that should live an independent life from the owner. In the face of the law, a registered business is a person that can sue and be sued. Until business owners understand this concept, their businesses will keep failing. The first thing a business owner should know is record-keeping and many businesses don't care about that because the business is not seen as a person.

Some business owners claim that their inability to read and write has limited them from keeping records and they don't have the money to hire an accountant. I usually tell them that illiteracy is not an excuse because they can still separate businesses for personal dealing. They should simply pay themselves wages or salary and never spend more than their earnings.

I don't think that the bull run has started, maybe this is just a preamble of what we will expect next year. And what makes next year unique is that we are expecting two significant events which are the Bitcoin halving and spots Bitcoin ETF. The SEC's decision on the approval is unpredictable so it might not be proper to depend on their approval to make predictions. However, I expect the price of Bitcoin to get to its highest past price or even greater than that. I will suggest that you trade with caution because the market is highly unpredictable.

I have a friend who has very high expectations regarding his bets. He told me that he would move his entire family to a developed world when he wins some huge amount of money. I like his expectations and goals but he has a wrong perception about gambling. I have also observed that he is not always happy and sounds depressed sometimes. From all observation, he gambles within his means but his expectations are too high which is affecting his mood. As you observed @knowngunman we should have a reasonable expectation because gambling is unpredictable to avoid mental health issues.

Letting players leave a club depends on some factors which include the coach's plans, financial standing,  competent replacement, and of course the player's quality. In terms of quality, Luka Modric's performance is not that impressive because of his age. He might not be too strong to give the team the needed support like he used to do when he was younger. The club has a very qualified replacement who is at his best currently, Jude Bellingham is one of the best midfielders in La Liga. No coach will keep such player on the bench for Luka.

Coach Ancelotti has made it clear that Luka is part of his plans, so he is still important to the club. But the truth remains that Luka will only serve as a substitute to Jude. I don't think Real Madrid is going through any financial stress so they can be able to afford his pay. The Croatian has to patiently wait for him to be given chances to feature in games or he could move to another club.

I appreciate your creativity @OP in linking cinema and gambling. When you watch the previews of some films it will be so attractive that you will be pleased to buy the tickets to view it. In some cases, you will discover that the movie is not what you expected. The quality, character, or even production might become below your standard. Seeing gambling as an entertainment that cannot be predicted just like the movie is a good one. Just as the movie might be interesting or not, that is how you can win or lose in gambling.

Watching movies is a good example because it does not cost much to buy a ticket, which also points to the fact that we should gamble will a little portion of our income. People who see gambling as their major source of income either become addicts or suffer from financial problems.  

The US government is coming up with laws that will make mixing services a threat to the county's security. What is their reason? There is news going around that Hamas is using cryptocurrencies to finance the war in the Middle East. The government immediately used this unverified information as the major reason to truncate the freedom and privacy these services offer. If this law is enforced in the US there are possibilities that other copycat nations will follow suit. it is not a surprise that they want to invoke section 311 of the Patriot Act to classify privacy as terrorist financing. They know that cryptocurrencies play an insignificant role in terrorist financing but they just simply want everybody to be under their watch. But there will always be a way out.

This accusation is baseless because there is no evidence that Hamas is receiving funds through cryptocurrencies. But there has been pressure from some lawmakers led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren for the crackdown on privacy services providers to curb the perceived flow of funds.
 
It is just a proposed new regulation that would go through some process before it finally becomes a law. This proposed law will be uncovered tomorrow and it will go through public scrutiny for ninety days before it will either be adopted or shelved. 

Gaza is practically under siege, I don't know what this donation could buy for these victims now. What the people need now cannot be bought with money. Firstly the bombing needs to stop and there should be freedom of movement products. I don't think any goods can be smuggled in to Gaza. Maybe the funds would be used after the total blockage is over.

Humanity is failing because materialism has infused animalism into humans. Deaths and destruction mean nothing to people and they see it as a major source of revenue. One needs to be careful not to send money to some set of criminals who are lavishly living in hotels meanwhile the victims of the war are suffering from lack. Verifying these websites is important.

If Graham Potter is evaluated by his performance in Chelsea, I don't consider him a good replacement for Erik Ten Hag. But considering his work in Brighton the Englishman has some qualities that will make him succeed. He was behind the success of Brighton and his great work attracted the attention of Chelsea. Manchester United is a team with a great history and the expectation of the fans is very high so they need a better coach. Except Sir Jim Ratcliffe knows we don't, I am not sure Potter should be the best replacement for the current coach. Many top-class coaches in the market can be attracted to Old Trafford and a good example is Zinadene Zidane. Sir Jim Ratcliffe's acquisition of 25% of the club's ownership will not give him the sole authority to appoint a coach, other stakeholders have the right to make inputs.

This is not just the problem of gambling, it is majorly the effect of ICT. The internet has made the accessibility of almost every activity easy. With a mobile phone, you can place a bet in any casino or sports bet platform. Due to the internet here is also a rise in drug, pornography, and alcohol addiction which has led to an increase in depression and suicide.

Most children see these celebrities as their role models, so there is a need to make policies that will protect children from underage gambling. The use of sports stars, musicians, and other celebrities for promotion should be limited to some websites with fewer children's views and erring gambling firms should be sanctioned accordingly.

Some people keep their gambling life secret from family members and friends so they might be scared of speaking to anyone. One good thing about the internet is that it can also help you to seek help from any part of the world. You can access or contact an online gambling therapist and get the needed help. Most gamblers who became depressed and started having suicidal thoughts failed to seek help. There is no shame in seeking help, after all, everybody has personal problems.

The age of bitcoin or the creation of new altcoins doesn't make Bitcoin obsolete. These altcoins are mere copycats and there is no way a fake product can be better than the original.

There is no valid proof that your assumptions are certain. But I have never been a fan of altcoin so your advice looks valid to me. You have to understand that everyone has their plans. Many of them are willing to take the risk of keeping these altcoins because they believe in them.

The $1millon and above bitcoin price prediction that I have been seeing currently seems like a dream to me. $70k and above looks more reasonable.

OP I suggest you check this design by xLays, I think it is a better design than what you have at the OP. This is based on my own evaluation.

The red card against Thiaw in the fortieth minute affected the game immensely. Before the red card, AC Milan was attacking aggressively and created few chances. But the booking made them focus more on defending and little attention was given to the attack. Juventus ensured that they maximized the deficiency of Milan and kept mounting pressure on the host's defense. It paid off in the sixty-third minute when former Milan player Manuel Locatelli struck that powerful shot that rattled Mirante. The forty-year-old Milan’s third-choice goalkeeper proved himself to be a good backup with some good saves in the game. He was able to save shots from Andrea Cambiaso and Dusan Vlahovic. AC Milan just lost an opportunity to go to the top of the table but they can redeem themselves in the game against PSG and Napoli.

I don't know your location but if you are not from the US and Europe, I am not sure your nation's currency is popular. Many factors contributes to the popularity of a currency. My country's currency is not well-known outside our sub-region.

Even in the face of daily increases in the development of more digital currency, bitcoin's popularity keeps growing which means that it is not just the digital currency status that is making it more popular. Bitcoin is popular because of its uniqueness which distinguishes it from other currencies. It has given people the uncommon privilege of enjoying privacy and bypassing financial middlemen. It has also helped people to have unlimited access to their funds which is not common with conventional fiat currency. OP it is true that the digital nature of bitcoin has made it easy to acquire it. But don't also forget that many countries also have CBDC and they are not still popular.

Some persons have fallen into this scam and paid some money to stop these scammers from exposing their confidential information. But they later find out that paying ransom is a grave mistake because they will not stop blackmailing and asking for more money. If one receives such an email,  just do a security check and take necessary protective actions. If it is fake, stop communicating with these criminals. But if it is true that he has some of your information, gather enough evidence and report to the relevant authority. Scammers will become powerless if they know that you are not ready to give them anything.

When the former central bank governor came up with the redesigning of the Naira notes before the general elections, it affected the flow of the old and even new currency, and the Naira became very scarce. Politicians needed money to buy votes and the naira was not available. With their connection in the central bank, these politicians began to have access to the dollars. USD that would have been used to engage in meaningful business transactions was distributed among criminal politicians. After the elections the dollars became scarce and the central bank couldn't handle the demand for the currency from businesses and individuals. This led to the the rise in price of the dollar in the black market making the value of the naira keep experiencing an uncontrollable fall.

In Nigeria minimum wage is reviewed after five to seven years. Workers will have to lobby the government and engage in several industrial actions such as protests and strikes before they will get the needed attention from the government. The average Nigerian worker is suffering and smiling this is why many professionals are migrating to other countries to seek greener pastures. And many people are also joining politics so that the can be able to steal their quota of the national treasury.

The reason why every gambler places a bet is to win. You have confidence that the game will go as you predicted. Sometimes one can carelessly place a bet but you still expect it to gain from it. Your position that gambling doesn't work with mindset is confusing but I think you are saying that wins depend solely on luck. You believe in the statement that "what must be will surely be". But looking at your bet slip, I think your predictions were fantastic and you were lucky to win the game. This kind of win when staked with a huge sum can make one an instant millionaire.  However, enjoy your win.

The New York attorney general has the role of protecting the interest of these investors, filling this suit against Gemini and Genesis is lawful. Customers were informed that thier investment was safe and secure and nobody told them about the risk their funds were exposed to. I am sure many people wouldn't have invested if they knew how Gemini intends to use the funds to make a profit. It is annoying to see how people's hard-earned money is being mismanagement by greedy people who lack financial intelligence.

An analysis of the operation of Genesis will expose you to careless and uncollateralized lending that led to its financial woes. The worst part of it was that they were concealing the losses from customers. Maybe they wanted to come up with a shitcoin that will be used to pay these greedy clients. I call them greedy people because 8% interest looks suspicious.

I don't know much about China's partnership with Bangladesh but I am aware that almost all the countries that became friendly with China in Africa are suffering from severe economic problems. I can not also conclude that China is the sole cause of this problem because other reasons like corruption might have contributed to these financial problems. But Chinese loans are an economic death sentence. The interest rate is outrageous and the terms of loans are kept secret from even the legislature. These loans and the terms of repayment are not in public space for scrutiny. These loans are tied to collateral which even include handing over the sovereignty of the nation to China.

Due to the interest rate and other conditions, many nations such as Ghana and Zambia cannot meet the repayment plan. Kenyan parliament is asking for renegotiation of the loan because of the burden it has placed on the nation. There was turmoil in the Nigerian parliament when the term of a Chinese loan was secretly exposed. It became clear that the presidency and minister of transportation signed a loan that could make Nigeria China's vassal state.
