They might not sign him, but they will still sign a veteran though. TBH, I'm not surprised that the Warriors didn't gave him a contract. The reason why they didn't sign him is because of how the current playstyle of the Warriors are currently. We've known the Warriors as a fast-paced team, and they're one of the fastest paced teams right now in the league. Howard can't cope up because he will be having a hard time running, and running. Looney is at least faster him IMO. I think that's the reason why. The playstyle isn't fit for him. Now that he will not go to the Warriors, I wonder where he will be landing. Will other teams try to get him, and give him a veteran contract? Or will he go back to Taiwan again, and attract those NBA players to play with him in Taiwan again.  They already signed CP3 so probably that's the veteran that you're saying. While your analysis is really good and fit that Dwight might not be good to their playstyle. As a reserve player just in case of opponents like Nuggets, they have someone to go man to man with Jokic but not anymore this time. And for the team where he could fit, we still don't have a news yet about that. But those that still have a place for him as for their roster, hopefully he will make because that's likely the reason why GSW didn't sign him. |

Man, that’s a bummer. I wonder what went wrong. It seemed like a done deal. Those reports seem like they’re from accurate sources though. Dwight Howard seemed like a perfect fit for them. He must either still be a chaotic individual off the court, or old age has come at him fast. He was just winning a championship ring 3 years ago.
Yeah, it looks like he's really going for it but then this is the catch that we've never expected. I'm already expecting that. Not by the Golden State Warriors just want to give a chance for Dwight Howard or offer him a veteran contract, but simply, they don't need him as part of the roster as they always have a flexible roster since then with no big man on the lineup. I also doubt that even the Warriors will sign him, he will just be a bench warmer and mostly do clapping around on the bench.
The Golden State Warriors have built by small lineup since then. Instead of giving their strength to the paint, they focused more on the outside shooting that's why they don't need a big man on their lineup. On the defensive end, it's not also a problem not having a big man as NBA today isn't that fully dominated by big man nowadays.
Dwight Howard should just enjoy being an import of the outside league and enjoy good money flowing to him before retiring.
With such money that they'll give to him as a contract, I don't think that they'll just put him on the bench but then, that won't happen anymore as this news comes out. Ah, crap. Looks like they will be staying with the small ball type of play. Well, it's their loss, and I doubt what they are saying about finding a big man later is true, it's just another statement to make it look like it's not Dwight Howard that they need.
No big man and their roster is still intact for which they are believing on it. Just like how this decision has came naturally, it's just majority of us really thought that he'll be signing. Maybe they'll be having some space for him in the future and there can be change of decisions as well. Ok, I guess the Warriors will have to look for another big man still? Or will tend still contend with the small line up. But I do not think that it will be enough, currently we have big men, like Jokic, Embiid and even Giannis or AD, and with Draymond mostly playing them, it will be hard for the Warriors with the small line up that they have right now.
They don't have the advantage on the speed, their best player is above 30++, no more young legs like Jordan Poole. But maybe they see something in Dwight that will not be perfect fit. Maybe Howard really lost some steps as he himself is also on the twilight of his career.
They've got outside shooting and it's still a different game when you've got a big man and then can also shoot outside but that's not Dwight to say but Jokic. As they're saying that they will remain with their current roster, so they would just go offensive and outside shooting as their weapon. |

Nope. Not at all cases.
There are legitimate casinos that do maintain their posture for being a non KYC casino for some of their users that are clean on their activities. Yeah, it's typical that they should ask KYC for everyone but that only happens when it's really needed.
So, if there's no need for them to ask a player for KYC then they wouldn't do that. They'll only do that when something triggers them coming from that user like huge or unusual withdrawals or deposits.
Even still there are platforms who do really let or allow huge withdrawals without having those kind of requirements or sudden KYC which they could really be able to pull out those funds or huge wins with ease and its true that those casinos are still that existing as of today and they arent really that asking for those KYC even hitting up some threshold as long they wont really be able to see some shady activity on users/gamblers part then it should really be just fine but we know that regulation becomes even more stricter with these kind of business or platform plus having that kind of impression that these businesses are needing some license to have some sort of security on which some gamblers are really that minding on and this is why they do prefer on seeing these platforms compared to those who dont have. Taking up risks? They had been the first that exist on the market specially in talking about crypto related platform on which they had been long time or couple of years ahead compared into those platforms which does have licensed or simply being regulated. Some do make out some adjustments and requiring themselves to be licensed and there are ones who do really that remain still. Yes, there are casinos that don't have any problems with allowing a user to withdraw as much as they can without having the need to ask about KYC. They're just compliant and needs to ask KYC because of the regulatory bodies that are also monitoring them and that's why it's being pushed and passed on the users even if they don't want to. It is not a question anymore as many if not all crypto gamblers are aware of this when they do ask it, if not then that's good on your end that doesn't like to comply yet. |

In your opinion, we'd like to hear your thoughts on how crypto payment gateways stack up against traditional payment methods in terms of security and efficiency. Do you believe cryptocurrencies offer a more secure and efficient way of conducting transactions, or do you think traditional methods still have the upper hand? Share your insights and experiences to help us gain a broader perspective on this evolving landscape.
Cryptos that has a consensus algorithm of PoW are the best and safer. But if they're PoS, the security compared to the PoW isn't greater. Crypto payment gateways also provide quick and secure mechanism but as there exist volatility so people are in risk under such situations also the fees is very higher with crypto therefor preference of traditional payment gateways will be more suitable.
That is one factor for crypto payments, the volatility will make the value either higher or lower upon receiptment of the receiver. But let us not generalize that the entirety of the crypto projects for payments, they're not all reliable. BTC is reliable and a few altcoins that are known to be good payment options because of cheaper fees and faster transfers. |

You know why they can't pay debts in full? You and me will be affected by it.
Where the government is getting their funds and budgets? From us, from our taxes, from any other services that's put on top of the price so it becomes more expensive.
That means, higher tax might happen, higher price will certainly occur and that's not something good for most of their citizens. Although it is doable, they can't just do it on an instant.

Some exchanges are leveling up by enabling credit card purchases for cryptocurrencies and since there are quite a number of them with this possibility, which exchange do you recommend based on firsthand experience for easy purchase?
Binance. Everybody knows Binance, yes it's a centralized exchange and it has a lot of users. If you are going to use your credit card for purchasing crypto. They have their blogs on how to do it. This blog is just one of it: https://www.binance.com/en/blog/fiat/can-you-buy-cryptocurrency-with-a-credit-card-421499824684903691And if it is not enough, it's easy to google the process if there are some updates that happened. Thanks mate, have you personally used them? I can't seem to be able to get past the verification stage on Binance and for some unknown reasons, my card can't be connected. Kinda frustrating tbh I haven't mate since I don't use credit card for buying crypto and even if I'm allowed to do, I won't do it. Where are you located mate? Maybe the other exchanges that allows the purchase of crypto through credit card won't also work for you if you're in a location that's not supported by them. Otherwise, check bitpay, crypto.com, kraken and others which you can find through googling about buying crypto with credit card. |

On this board I often see a lot of discussions related to investment and finance which tend to be large scale. However, to start investing we need capital. How do you find capital for investment?
Let's talk about small scale businesses that have low risks and promising profits so that we can have capital to invest and become passive income in the future.
Do you have a small business idea? or business experience? I want to hear it
Finding a capital for investment is on you. You don't make a business and then get the capital from others unless you're a crowdfunder and you really are good at it. But as a small startup, it's best to just start with the money whatever the amount is on your pocket. I've got a lot of ideas and I've got business experiences. They're all roses if you know what that does mean. They're like beautiful and success but also there were thorns. If it's about business ideas that you are wanting to have, you can search on the web and you'll see tons of it and what suits you. That's what I did before. |

Coming back to gambling, I wouldn't teach it to my child, as I don't want to be responsible if they start gambling at young age, but if they start on their own, I'll be there to help them be rational about it.
Me either. I will refuse to introduce it. But if by the time that my child is grown up and an adult and decides to gamble, it's gonna be a personal decision that I cannot meddle. As long as there's the job that will sustain the gambling activity and won't ask me my own money just to gamble, that's it. I wonder if those card games that children play on old basic windows operating system before was once motivated those children to do gambling.
Possible, when they see adults play it with some money on the side. That will tickle their minds and curiosity why adults do that. |

If you're going to do it for the inheritance of your chosen immediate family member, I wouldn't make it too complicated for them.
I'll just write down the seeds/recover phrases or private keys and then have those instructions on how to retrieve it. Every detail will be in there and I'll just trust them that they shouldn't open that treasure chest where these keys and instructions are placed on.
It's a matter of trust for me and I know that it's hard to trust that to anybody but your best option is to just put that trust to your immediate family, mom, dad, bro/sis, wife or your own child.
The only problem I have with this is that I am NOT confident they could keep it secure from other people on one hand, or remember the password on the other hand... That's why my solution requires no need for passwords and is useless to anyone else who finds it. I am sure that they use smartphones and has got passwords for their socials. That's like the basic requirement that you can have them for teaching about these technical stuff. So that inconfidence of yours for entrusting them with these can be gone if you're going to teach them little by little until they are already familiarize with how the process does. Anyway, there have been a lot of suggestions that were given to you and you can try all of those until what works for you well. Also, when you reply to different people, you can just merge them in one post as replying consecutively is likely going to make your posts deleted or any other consequence decided by mod as we've got this rule; 32. Posting multiple posts in a row (excluding bumps and reserved posts by the thread starter) is not allowed.

In general it's probably more difficult for an old gambler to stop because he's so used to it.
Not all old gamblers will find it difficult to stop because just like the first point there are gamblers who can really gamble professionally and responsibly so they can have limits and control. Having hard time to stop isn't just going to be prone to the old gamblers, in fact that every age that someone who has become an addicted gambler will have hard time doing it whether they're used to it or not. On the other point of view, the new addicted gamblers are also gonna have their difficulty in to stop because they're just fresh and that impulsiveness is hard to deal. While talking about the professional ones, they don't have to quit. It's their bread and butter and that's why win or lose, they'll remain. |

Stop thinking that you should have been a millionaire if you ever didn't study and blame your parents because you studied. Be thankful to your parents that studying there is hard and the school and tuition fees there are no joke.
Your parents just did the right thing of providing you your need so that you are who you are right now. As you're finished studying now, it's good that you've mentioned you've got your own savings. But do not invest all that you've got because what happens if there's an unexpected expense that you need some cash and you don't have it anymore because you put all of it to bitcoin?
We are optimistic about Bitcoin but do it conservatively as we're no longer in the times unlike before that we can do reckless decisions that might affect us unless you really are persistent and pushy on it, although no one forces you to do so.

Still many think that through gambling, their dreams will become true and one of it was the last one that you've mentioned about being rich.
It's a common thing to think that people that are gambling are rich people. But there goes that are not rich but tries to aim their goals through it.
Just enjoy it and you'll eventually see that you're winning and there's no pressure to put on your mind but it changes based on how much your bankroll is.
Gambling is common, it's absolutely no new thing to people because even teens do gamble in our present days. How funny when we believe that only the rich place wagers on games, it's totally out of line, anyone belonging to any category can place a bet on games. Gamblers have a potential targets that's set to gain good results. Ofcourse no one would wants to record losses in the system, the system is volatile, we have no clue on the next movement, it can either be good results for gamblers or pretty bad results, It's not out of the line. There's the balance idea about who gambles, the rich and the poor so yeah, it's to anyone. But in some places when someone gambles and it's not accepted by the family, the first to reason out to that gambler is that are they rich to gamble and has got money to spend and place to wagers? That's the usual thing we hear but on the other hand, in poor areas, it's also common to see such thing being done. it's our responsibility to accept whatever outcome that's triggered.
Yes, good or bad results, we're the reason why it comes out. |

I think for many women some of the few reasons they go into gambling, is that gambling provides them with the opportunity to be sociable and enjoy time with friends and also use it to escape boredom loneliness or even stress, excitement is also part of the reasons why women goes into gambling the sense of winning creates an additional anticipation of something bigger having the spotlight on you as a winner can make you feel good even for a brief moment. This has eventually turn into frequent trips or long session in gambling.
Whatever it is, we all have our own reasons why we gamble. Regardless of the gender, there's no difference from a gambling man and gambling woman. But let us say about what you've mentioned about a woman that just want to socialize. It's like for some movies that I have watched that they go there for some different purpose but that's included. Many factors not just about those and just as us, there could be only one main reason why they gamble and that's to win money and none other than that. |

The happy gambler is one who forgets and forgives, who does not have any emotional need to count of lost money and the "what if" of their gambling sessions.
True. That's why for the gamblers that don't have much to think of what they're up to, they're just there to enjoy every moment and cent that they gamble. No heart feelings but that doesn't mean that they don't have emotion. and those are the gamblers that we can call responsible gamblers and this is that I can call myself as well. enjoying is the main objective , and winning or luck is just a bonus. try not to ask for more but to have fun and happiness. no hard feelings , and no complaining after playing . how many times that we gamble and play? so its time to realized what we are missing and that is to understand that gambling isnt the place for us to become rich. Still many think that through gambling, their dreams will become true and one of it was the last one that you've mentioned about being rich. It's a common thing to think that people that are gambling are rich people. But there goes that are not rich but tries to aim their goals through it.

Monopoly is everywhere done by the oligarchs. It's hard to lose them as it's everywhere and the government will always have to go along with these big people because they bring money to their country.
But to address the issue of the rise of price of every good, the government needs to do something like giving subsidies to the manufacturers or those merchants so that there will be a discount.
In that solution, it will allow the market to move until everything has been set to the low price because it's just good for short term sustainability.

Don't be depressed looking at it but be happy that you're able to know Bitcoin and you're able to use that with the actual use that you intend to.
I know that it's a hard thing to think of the early days and you're a spender but don't get it wrong. You have what you got by that time and that's the true value and use that you should be happy for.
While looking at it, it's time for you to have a separate holding of Bitcoin that you'll consider to hold it for a long time so that regret and depress you're experiencing has a solution already.
