941  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin cannot be a Bank? on: March 20, 2023, 10:57:29 PM
Comparing Bitcoin and bank to me doesn't align, Bank is a financial institution that manages all financial transaction, whereas Bitcoin is money... However with what you have listed here so far I see no limitations to that if Bitcoin is money in other view, what will stop it from serving all this purposes if Bitcoin is widely accepted as a form money. The technology is still in its early stage and right we cannot category say its limitations or what extent it could be used in the coming future.
Both were completely different and have got different characteristics. Something that makes a connect is the value. Banks process the money whereas bitcoin is the asset that is equal to money. During my initial days the person introduced with the term the Bitcoin wallet serves as one's own bank. Later only I realised how it does the functions of a bank. With time advancements keep playing big roles and the same makes everything user friendly. People who found it difficult to use cards have now used with wallet payments. Same as this technology is making a big change and bitcoin too a part.
942  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how much money is considered as "invest only what you can afford to lose" on: March 20, 2023, 10:50:37 PM
I never liked this expression. What you can afford to lose? I can afford to lose 90% of my money ant continue to live, but will that be the life that I want? On the other hand, if I play it safe and bet $1k, does that really change anything in my life, even if I win?

Bottom line, invest what you feel comfortable investing and make sure that money won't change your living conditions for worse. If losing your investment would mean you'd have to sell your car or your house, that's way too much. If losing your investment would mean you won't buy a new phone this year, or you won't be able to upgrade your TV from 50" to 80", you're fine.  
We'll, this is how investment needs to be. What we afford to loss should not never disturb the comfort of living at any point. This is very important, even if the investment doesn't bring profit it shouldn't worsen the living style. However to specific limit we were able to withstand amidst loss and that seems to be the respective amount of investment.

That's a fine technique to overcome the loss experienced out of investment. When we experience loss the same needs to be compensated through some means than just leaving it. Maybe cutting the year's unwanted needs is the right way in this high inflated economic situation.

Getafe is 1-0 ahead and therefore seems to be winning against Sevilla. With this victory, they take over 13th place from Sevilla, which actually has a worthless season in the league. They are also still active in the EL, with Manchester United as the next opponent. They seem to have their sights on the EL. There is nothing to win in the competition, they just have to watch out that they don't have a bad series yet because that could mean relegation that way. A lot has changed at the club, they also miss Luuk de Jong. the man who personally helped Sevilla win the Europa League a few seasons ago.
What a match to watch. Getafe finally ends with a goal at the additional time. Enes scores the second goal for Getafe and wins 2-0 which isn't predicted by the experts. Sevilla had the highest balls possession. In terms of shot on targets both the teams were almost close. However Getafe was able to make two of them into goals where the Sevilla players failed. Sevilla is still at the 13th position and Getafe have moved to the 16th position on the points table. Manchester United with the win 3-1 against Fulham is big and it gives more confidence for the players to perform well in the upcoming matches. Earlier it was Sevilla that is dominant against Manchester United in the Europe League winning in the semi final.

Martingale is the death of every serious gambler as it only work if you have unlimited money. Sooner or later you will los it all.

The math of course says it improbable that a 50/50 bet will land on the same side like 15-20 times but experience says otherwise.

Only starting with 0.01$ and lose lets say 15 times on a row you would already be down 328$. But who starts with 1 cent? If you start with 1$ and "only lose 10x in a row you are down 1k already.

The most important aspect is that you always just win you base amount. All the stress and finally win on the 11th try and get your money back, plus 1$ . Totally not worth it.

Exactly, 100% agree. Martingale is still the "to-go" strategy for a lot of gamblers but in the end, you will always end up in loss. Tried it myself multiple times and went always good in the beginning. I kept doing it and offcourse had a bad streak and lost a big amount of money. Happened already 2 times so nowadays I try to avoid doing it lol.

Martingale strategy can be used when we play with small bet amounts. If not, we should have the number of rolls, beyond that we should not roll whether it is a win/loss. Every gambler could've atleast once lost big out of Martingale strategy. Higher the bank balance higher the risk, same is with the chance of recovering what we've lost in the previous rolls. I personally experienced 12 continued losing streak while trying for Martingale Strategy.

Most users have mentioned about keeping the bought bitcoin in a secure way. For now she had gained knowledge to buy bitcoin for her baby's future. Next thing, she needs to learn about the security and the usage of different wallets. Exploring the forum she'll understand well about it. Being a woman and getting into bitcoin usage as an investment as well for future is really appreciable and congrats on the buying, because ten out of 100 knows about bitcoin and one out of the 10 have the courage to take such bold decisions and move along with it. The small investment made regularly will help on need, it maybe the child's education, health, etc.

Sevilla are playing away against Getafe now. This is one of the critical matches for not only Sevilla but also Getafe. Because they are both trying to cling to the La Liga this season.

The first half was really poor for both sides. Getafe are even the favourite of this match according to the odds. This feels really weird as their opponent is Sevilla in the end. But Sevilla are really a big mess this season. I just can't believe they are under the danger of even relegation. They are trying to focus on the Europa League title at least to qualify for the Champions League group stage. But they need to be careful while doing so. They just can't give up on the La Liga easily. Otherwise it would be horrible to see them in the La Liga 2. I hope they win this tough match now.
Getafe leads 1-0, goal came at 50th minute. The second half have started well for Getafe as an easy goal have come through Munir. The match that is being predicted to be a win for Sevilla is now lead by Getafe. Out of the last four head to head matches every match is being won by Sevilla. With the chances missed close to the target winning is going to be tough and yellow card issued for Sevilla player Loic Bade. Antonio Mateu missed to make the free-kick a goal.

The tension increases as the scores were levelled 1-1, after Willian had a hand touch. Soon after the goal once again Manchester United have made a goal and leads 2-1. The goal have come from Sabitzer and it is his first goal for Manchester United. Fulham players Mitrovic and Willian issued with Red Card. The Fulham players are in complete frustration. The far better team have lost control of the match in few minutes.
948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2022/2023 on: March 19, 2023, 05:48:35 PM
First goal for Fulham have come at the second half of the match. The quarter finals between Manchester United and Fulham is much interesting as the first half ended 0-0. At the 50th minute Mitrovic took the first FA Cup goal for Fulham. Mitrovic directed with his left foot from six yards, which came from Diop.

More goaling opportunities were getting created from the start of the match, but this is the one that have got converted to goal. Earlier in the second half two goals were redirected by the goalkeeper which were perfect towards the target.

Today Royal Challengers Bangalore Women and Gujarat Giants provide a excellent match for the spectators. I think Royal Challengers Bangalore Women's supporters must have been surprised by today's performance. Where they had no win, they made it back to back win in two matches. Chasing a target of 188 runs set by Gujarat Giants, they won the match in 15.3 overs losing just 2 wickets. Which seems unexpected for Royal Challengers Bangalore Women. Royal Challengers Bangalore Women have only 1 more game where the opponent will be the strongest team of this season Mumbai Indians Women. Will Royal Challengers Bangalore Women be able to get their victory on that particular match?
Sophie Devine's inning was shocking for me and many fans around the world as they watch one of the best women's batting in this match what an all-rounder which give second consecutive win for RCB after losing first three matches badly now things change for them after having one of the best win here in this match.

GG were feeling relaxed after scoring runs like these because no one was having feeling that RCB can chase this target and win this match but Sophie Devine's 99 runs on just 36 balls with the help of 9 sixes and 8 fours change the match completely in their favor and all bowlers were helpless in this situation match ends in just 16 overs which is also impressive with this big win now they are fourth in league table now they have left just one match against the leaders Mumbai which lost their first match against UP Warriors.
Big performance from the RCB women's team. It looks like the team have got motivated with the words of Virat Kohli. The first two spots were confirmed for Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. Performance similar to the one happened today would change everything completely. Already RCB have reached the fourth position. Winning the remaining two matches in similar style could let RCB reach playoff. Even Mumbai Indians could've feared on how to play against RCB in the upcoming match after watching the performance of Sophie Devine.

The race continues between the two as Al Ittihad have made a dominating 5-1 win against Al Fateh. From the very beginning Al Ittihad dominated the match. Finally with the win secured the first position on the points table.

The match between Al Nassr and Abha turned interesting as Abha made early goals and ended the first half with a lead. Even in the second half it was Abha to lead the goal count as Al Nassr wasn't able to make goals. Finally at the 78th minute Ronaldo made a free kick goal which levelled the goal count 1-1. Further the penalty goal coming from Talisca made it a winning match and Al Nassr continue to be on the second position with a point difference.

For Al Nassr this performance isn't enough to be on the second position, because winning with the last minute goals won't be successful all the time. Failing could end the match to be a loss.

Every successful business have got secrets behind it. Wr can understand whether the growth in the business have come through hard work or secrets that pave path for easy success. Not everyone is able to do it, because the risks were high. If caught with the act the business might end at the same day. Every business needs specific time for its establishment, but it is possible to see businesses that gets established within a short which itself enough to prove something illegal or against the law is taking place.

Caeino Operators can't be blamed, because when the technology isn't that effective people were easily fooled. Now this isn't possible anymore. Users check each and every bet. Nowadays dark secret based development is much seen around than the gradual growth. To the fast moving world people are in need of fast money and this serves as reason for such changes in different businesses.
952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most of the world population involved in gambling on: March 18, 2023, 10:38:56 PM
I don't doubt this.

Even in my workplace alone, I'm surprised that a lot of employees are now talking about this local slots game that some of them won hundreds of dollars from. Even those people whom you wouldn't really think that gambles is playing the game, and is winning a lot from it. It caught like wildfire, and almost everyone is playing this whenever they have extra money or extra time. Even on small localities and communities, this online slots game is exceptionally popular. Idk how they knew about it but people are enjoying playing it.

So yeah, I think it's possible that a huge number of the world's population is into gambling—or at least exposed to it.
This change had happened through the smartphone. In the past to spend on gambling it is a big process. Now its not like that, you just wanna have the smartphone and the gambling platforms provide you with cent percent privacy. You can gamble from any location. One thing good with your colleagues, everyone are playing when they've got some money extra as well as at their free time. Same as its easy reach, it had also got more negative effects as people come with big expectations and the losses can't be accepted.

Semifinals match Medvedev and Tiafoe is getting close to the final result. The match had fighting first set and won by Medvedev 7-5. The second set is levelled 5-5 and now Medvedev have taken lead 6-5 and moved to the tie breaker as points got levelled 6-6. Finally good comeback from Tiafoe, and he couldn't convert it winning point. It was 77-64 in the second set and Medvedev reaches the finals.

Swiatek once again disappointed as Ryabakina won the semi finals on the direct set 6-2 6-2. On the other Semifinals it was Sabalenka to beat Sakkari on direct sets 6-2 6-2. Finals to be played between Ryabakina and Sabalenka.

Al Wehda 1-1 Al Taawoun. Previously Taawoun took the lead in early minutes of the second half but Wehda was able to equal score by Oscar Duarte, this match is quite disappointing for Taawoun considering that currently they are better rather than Wehda in the standings, also Taawoun have many opportunities at there. Unfortunately Taawoun was only able to get one point in this match, it seems Al Wehda performance has been grow up recently they are quite consistent in getting points.
As the teams keep on playing against different opponents the performance improvement can be seen good with them. However it is quite hard to decide the ability of the team based on the standings. Upcoming matches gonna be very interesting as the top on the standings with one point difference is playing against opponents Al Fateh and Abha. Winning is much concerned for both the team Al Ittihad and Al Nassr as to reach the top on the table.

Sinner Alcaraz tomorrow could be one of the best match ever played between the two players.
They are showing great tennis and it's clear they are playing at HIGH level ...
Alcaraz is favorite but the number of wins for the opponents is 2-2 on direct match so .... nothing is sure or maybe we can expect some surprise Roll Eyes

I would play over games in this match. I think we will see three sets for sure in this match. Alcaraz might be a slight favorite but i think Sinner wont go down that easily. Alcaraz will need to work hard to keep up with Sinners serve and playing style.
Going with over games is good choice and for sure the match moves to the third set for sure. Both the young players fighting to reach the finals is gonna be a big match. Both were at their best and I wish to watch tie breaker between the two, Sinner have reached semifinals defeating the defending champion Fritz in the quarter finals which gives him good confidence. Alcaraz have recorded the first win against Auger Aliassime and reached the semifinals. Let's see what happens between the two.
956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: March 17, 2023, 10:44:10 PM

Well, I believe the same happened with Cristiano Ronaldo, I believe that the 2022 World Cup was the last for both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, I have no doubt that in the 2026 World Cup they will be able to be physically prepared and will be able to both play for their teams, but I have no doubt that the performance of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will decrease...

With the performance that Argentina presented in the first games of the 2022 world cup, I would never have imagined that they could win that cup, I would believe that Brazil could have reached the finals, but unfortunately Brazil made unacceptable mistakes against Croatia's game and lost that extremely important match

Can't be sure about the situation of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2026, we know both players are still superstars in their teams, Messi is still playing for a top European team while Ronaldo decided to continue his career in an Asian team with more money but can't be a reason to say Ronaldo should think about stop playing for his national team soon, also since Messi was one of the best players in 2022 world cup, he still has a high chance to play for Argentina in 2026.
The players were at good fitness. By the time of 2026 World Cup Ronaldo will be 40+ and Messi will be close to 40 years of age. Messi have won the World Cup which gives him the satisfaction whereas Ronaldo might try for it once again. We don't know whether this will make them move further into playing than coaching the team. More young players are emerging out of every football country which could let the superstars take retirement and support the young players reach great success.
957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens when new altcoins encourage religious, political and other agendas? on: March 17, 2023, 10:34:37 PM
This is just a gimmick to get the attention of particular community. These kind of practice easily reach the common man who doesn't have much knowledge about cryptocurrencies. Just for the religion we can see people getting interested over it and invest. As most users mentioned when something is focused with religion it is gonna be a scam that gets exposed immediately or in the long run. Already we were able to see similar coins like Jesus, biblepay, biblecoin, islamicoin and so on. Just to the list Islamic Coin gets added, nothing much gonna happen.
958  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Solana hit $40 this year? on: March 17, 2023, 10:29:03 PM
The SOL potential is not much higher than other alternative altcoins, you better look for gem altcoins with higher ROI. Regarding price speculation, the $40 mark is possible during the bull market season but associated risks are more than alternative cryptos. The competition may lead to decreased market value for SOL but we never know what is next in this volatile industry.
It all depends on the market. Right now the market have turned bullish, following the bitcoin move the price might reach $40 based on the price of bitcoin. However from the price range of $20 to $40 it takes time. On the other side more accusations against solana is the reason why the market isn't that good. If not this could've been at its best competence against the leading altcoins. Even now it is at good position, but more investors left solana and began to invest on other altcoins.

These are exceptional people jumping from gambling to business is not easy and becoming a gambler and a businessman is quite risky, the other one can take over the other one, and if you are chasing your losses there's a possibility that you can use money in your business to do it.
And both ventures will need time if you're a professional gambler you have to keep up playing and if you're a businessman you have to oversee how the business is doing, not really that easy but these guys find a way to balance things and they are reaping the rewards, we can all learn from these successful people.
One can't serve two masters is an old days slogan, but that doesn't apply to today's world. Gambling is completely different from running a business. If things didn't go well the business fails. There are people who have done gambling out of the profits from business and lost everything. As said, these are exceptions where luck had favoured. If not these people could've never been successful and wouldn't be able to build such big businesses.

Most of the parents who had well known about finance and were into different kinds of investment prefer cryptocurrency. Even my mom preferred to invest into cryptocurrency, but by that time I was not that confident and ignored. This happened during the days after the 2017-18 bullish market. My mom preferred just based on the profit scale I briefed to her. She isn't much educated,but she understood well that nowhere it is possible to book profit as cryptocurrency.
