1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling increases computer education. on: Today at 05:09:03 PM
However, the introduction of online betting has forced most gamblers in my country to learn how to use the computer. It is now common to see some elderly people using the mouse and keyboard effectively. Most of them have never attended any computer education class but learned through observation. Others might have gone through some level of training from family or friends. I am sure many of them wouldn't have learned anything about the computer if not for online gambling. What are your thoughts?
I don't think gambling has increased computer education because it is more easy to play gamble with a smart phone . Majority of gamblers I know usually use smartphone device to play gambling, this can be done with the anytime anywhere. And I don't believe gambling will be a reason why people would want to acquire computer education.  Doing it with a phone device is more easy and because of this computer illiterates will prefer to make use of phone to play gambling.  To me I think gambling is one of the easiest things that anyone can do on their on without wasting anytime.

It's true that there are risks with volatility and trading in Bitcoin and nothing is a sure bet in the investment world. But hey, many of us, myself included, see Bitcoin as a solid investment choice for regular folks. We believe in its potential even though there are no guarantees in the market. It's all about having confidence in our choices while acknowledging the uncertainties that come with investing.
Bitcoin becomes very risky and uncertain to invest when people are unaware of its volatility and the movement of the market.  When their is understanding of bitcoin volatility, unpredictable bear and bull Market their won't be any risk because one is not with wrong mindset just investing to make money quick. When there is this understanding that the market can't be predicted and understand how Bitcoin and the market works thus is what will give one the ability to invest in bitcoin without having doubt about bitcoin.

Understanding is just every one needs to be able to invest bitcoin without double thoughts, understanding give confidence that one is investing in the right asset even if one can't tell when exactly to make profit .
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin gradually turning away from its purpose? on: Today at 12:43:33 PM
Like the title explained it all when sighting towards the speculation or trade discussion section I mostly found out that lots of people are gradually turn away the purpose of bitcoin to mainly investment purposes and I mean to asked, was bitcoin created for investment purpose or it's for peer to peer to alternate fiat?

I would love to see different versions of input.
Bitcoin is not turning from it purpose instead bitcoin is even getting more awareness because the number of people that use it for p2p has  increased more compare to years back. You should also understand that bitcoin has different purposes that people can also hodl to invest in it. Bitcoin has different good purposes, it is left for people to make choice on what they want to use bitcoin for.  It is just a matter of time as bitcoin is gaining more adoption without any interruption from government users will increase that will be using it to purchase things.

If their are some limitations that are depriving people to spend bitcoin the most important thing is for people to understand the value bitcoin has and take advantage of it by investing that can make one to be financially stable.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is a fatal mistake on: June 05, 2024, 11:57:23 PM
Actually I have an elder brother in gambling, he basically works in a private company. Received May salary on June 04/06/2024, he did not come home after receiving salary. Three sons one daughter and his wife live in his house, and he gambled all night and entered the house on the next day 05/06/2024 today morning after losing all the salary money. After entering the house, his wife asked him to go to market, he replied, I don't have money, wife said, you got salary, what did you do with the salary money? 
In this way, quarrels between the two gradually arise and when it becomes known in the society, it is gradually known that he has played gambling. And he went somewhere far away from home after the fight till now there is no trace of him and he didn't try to contact him till now. So I shared this with you because of how dangerous gambling is in the eyes of families and society. What could be the biggest reason behind this person giving complete money loss?
At this point I think he is addicted because addiction can only be a reason for a full grown man to use all the salary to play gambling without thinking their are things to be done in the family with money. People like this can use any money that is meant for something that is very important to gamble or even borrow a huge sum of money to play gamble . If he hasn't realise that what he is doing is wrong their is nothing that can be done, it means he will keep up using is salary to gambling. This is not just a problem to him but also a serious problem to his entirely family because they will be affected with such a life.

Ignorance has put so many gamblers in this state thinking that income can be generated in gambling which they don't even bother of playing with all the money they have .
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? on: June 05, 2024, 11:25:10 PM
No matter the situation someone is going through in life, the person should not think of gambling as a source of income. People that take gambling as a source of income are most likely going to regret it later. Successful gamblers are the gamblers that make money from real business and not from gambling.
Gambling is not reliable to hold on it as a source of income , one of the biggest mistakes is to see gambling as a way that money can be generated through it. Depending on gambling can just makes one life to become very miserable, instead of hoping on gambling it is better to go for other things as a source of income . Gambling will always be unpredictable and their is nothing can change this . From what I have observed in gambling it is like the more you hope on gambling to generate money the more it Dissapoints you but when you play gambling just for fun and not expecting so much from it the lucks always comes. I have also come to realised that those who depend on gambling as a source of incomes always become depressed because it is hard for them to get what they expect in gambling.
6  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lack of capital or knowledge, which one is holding traders back from profits? on: June 05, 2024, 10:02:11 PM
Knowledge is more important than capital to get good profit by trading. If you don't have knowledge, your capital will be zero soon. And if you have knowledge, you can trade with little capital and earn good profit. As a result, your capital will increase. So there is no substitute for knowledge for trading.
.
Knowledge is the principal thing which you can't do without in trading, when you rely so much on the money you have that it can give you the profits you want in trading this is just the beginning to lose money in trading. Having the right knowledge in trading it is possible to get good profit in trading. The knowledge we have is what makes trading to be interesting but Hernandez their is no knowledge trading becomes very difficult and  uninteresting that can make one to quit trading.  Most people thinks the important thing to have to start trading is capital that is why they don't bother much to learn to have knowledge about trading .
7  Economy / Economics / Re: Don't fall for the "Beauty premium" of some coin/site on: June 05, 2024, 08:25:40 PM

We've seen how dogecoin that initially came as a joke gained significant after Elon musk came into the equation causing it to gain value even though it lacked unique technological advantages. Same happened for tap swap that's currently enjoying the beauty premium of the Solana blockchain and is getting all hyped up.
This has been the problem of many investors, the hype that is responsible to make a coin being relevant has been the reason why they have been into so many shitcoin, and these hypes that have made these coins to become irrelevant in the market will just make the coin to be their for a limited time. This has been strategy for many project to get investors but at last their is nothing special investing in such project. People falll for all this because they want to make money so fast but for those that knows what real investment is like will never fall for such project making profit is not about going through shortcuts but investment that are reliable and not the ones that are hyped .

One can only understand this by making research to have room to knowledge that not all coins that are trending in the market is good to invest, but when their is no knowledge people will just go for coins based trend.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: Government always hides productive truths from the masses on: June 05, 2024, 03:25:05 PM
The late enlightenments to the modern and digital world we lives today has caused us setback from venturing into the digital technology systems that's how we've also missed the opportunities to adopt in investing in the BITCOIN when it was earlier introduced. Then we had no knowledge of it and the government fed us with lies that the BITCOIN CRYPTO DIGITAL FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY was a scam and as then, we strongly believed that the government got our back.
I don't think the government is responsible for making people to know about cryptocurrency late. Do you know even till this time their are people who still don't believe in bitcoin (cryptocurrency). I can I agree that the government is been responsible for making people not to have access to cryptocurrency.  Their are people that are free to have cryptocurrency but because of ignorance they prefer to go for other investment instead of cryptocurrency.

We don't need to depend on government to know the truth, if you depend on government to know things you will never get to know any thing. One of the ways to be powerful is to have knowledge,  when their is knowledge it is impossible for government to take advantage of you from doing the right things .
9  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto investment is exhausting for some ? on: June 05, 2024, 09:09:51 AM
I am tired, I got out of crypto because of the constant vigilance that crypto requires from me, it is too exhausting.

You can't trust anyone, you can't trust anything, all you have to keep doing is keep verifying everything, but for how long?

To keep your crypto assets safer they said you need a hardware wallet, as if this is the end to the worry, only to start guiding your recovery seed again.

You don't need to be tired because it is not just cryptocurrency that has so much responsibilities to be done for your asset to be in a safer hands. Even the money you have you put it in safe place which you don't expose it to people that are even close to you. You store your money in the bank and their are still roles you play for the money to intact which you need to keep some important details that scammers won't take as an advantage.  You need to understand that anything that is valuable their is a lot to be done to keep it safe from fraudsters.  Every asset needs to be secure and if it is handled in a careless manner you can loose it.

The reason why cryptocurrency (bitcoin) seems to have more attention for it to be safe is that any mistake of exposing your seed phrase scammers can get advantage to your asset. I don't even see anything too difficult protecting your bitcoin,  it is just about using a good wallet and keeping you private keys safe from the eyes of strangers and nothing too serious about it.
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Disadvantages of bitcoins on: June 04, 2024, 02:55:08 PM
Examining the challenges bitcoin faces including scalability issues, price volatility, and environmental concerns relating to mining
Price volatility is not a disadvantage of bitcoin instead it is advantage to investors who invest in bitcoin.  Without the volatility of bitcoin there will be nothing like profit in bitcoin,  no volatility there won't be any investment.  The volatility that bitcoin has is what makes bitcoin to be an investment.  Volatility is what makes bitcoin to be better than fiat. Having fiat in the bank for a very longtime, instead of the money to add value it will depreciates but in bitcoin the case is deferent, hodling Bitcoin for a very longtime volatility makes it to have good values.  Bitcoin has good volatility which is good and fair compare to other cryptocurrencies that volatility is not reliable, the price can go up and when it falls it will never increase again.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin not coin memecoin on: June 04, 2024, 01:32:36 PM
I have some questions

Will btc continue rising or will drop and fuk everything up

Not coin is it safe to enter this coin now

Does bitcoin effect memecoins on solana or base
For me I think making your own person research to compare bitcoin and other coins will be better for you. Asking an open question like this people will come will different opinions and whatever opinions you choose to go with it means you are settling for someone's opinion which may not really be the best for you because you haven't gotten the right understanding about it. Making your research you will get a good informations about this coins, with the information you have gotten about these coins you'd have to choose coin to invest that is suitable based on the understanding that you have about these coins.

In a situation like this to choose which coin to invest in, relying on people's opinion is not the best but get understanding yourself by making research. Important things that newbies needs to know about cryptocurrency investments is to be in the right investment, and it is having the right knowledge that can make one to be with the right investments.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: June 01, 2024, 06:56:18 PM
What bayern Leverkusen has achieve is something that is unbelievable and it's going to take a whole lot of hard work for them to actually replicate this kind of performance again next season and that's where the entire team should be focus on now not that one final defeat to Atlanta, of which everyone understood is a final and never really expected Atlanta to hand the title over just like that without a fight.
Bayer Leverkusen dreams of winning a treble was shattered but they will strive harder next season. Bayer Leverkusen have such trembling long unbeaten run and this is the longest in European football. Xabi Alonso was making positive steps with Leverkusen but Atalanta scattered his plans in the Europa League final, thrashed them 3 nil which was a disgrace for such a club that have reach this far.
One of the reasons Bayer Leverkusen failed in winning is the Europa League is because they never believed their opponent could played them a tough game that would stop them from winning but all the same Bayer Leverkusen had a wonderful season even if they didn't win Europa league,  they had a great season in europa league.  I still believe Bayer Leverkusen can still give a better performance next season in Bundesliga league and them joining champions league will be interesting.  Bayer Leverkusen have good squad which I think they still have the chance of having a great performance next season.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kicking/banning and or limiting a player for winning too much on: June 01, 2024, 05:33:54 PM
Now, I just want to ask us, if you own a casino, and a particularly customer is always winning, winning and winning, would you kick/ban the customer, or limit him or her?
And why please?

Why do casinos limit or ban a user when he or she is winning too much, but do not do the same when the user is losing too much as well?
Is it possible to win gambling in a row at a time? I think it looks very strange,  this could be the reason why the company would not accept it because if they allow a gambler to keep playing it is possible for him to win all the money the gambling company has which is very strange. If a gambling company has put limit on a player it is better for the player to bet with the limit and no need to create another account to bet. But apart from this if casino limit users from betting just because wining a reasonable amount of money , I think it is not a good casino a gambler needs to look up to. Casinos will allow a gambler to keep playing bet after losing money  several times but when gamblers starts winning in a row it becomes a problem.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Committing mistakes helps us to become a responsible gambler. on: June 01, 2024, 02:10:49 PM
It is quiet to see and I believe that all of us commit mistakes, a situation that also changes our gambling approach and behavior.

Of course, it is not in our mind and we try to avoid mistakes but still, it comes to us no matter what we do. But this thing sends us a message that every mistake we make has a positive result and one thing is that we improve and change our style to a better one. We could just think that we have to limit our gambling time, stop being greedy, and avoid addiction because we already know the outcomes as it happened to us in the past and we don't let it happen again.

Therefore, I would say that we don't have to be afraid of committing mistakes because this also helps us to see things that we need to change and become a responsible gambler.
I know mistakes are part of learning process that we can't avoid all that comes our way. Because no one is above mistake does not mean one need to take things lightly and to do nothing to avoid mistake. As humans we need to learn to avoid some certain mistakes and another thing which we need not take for granted is not to learn from our mistakes and still allows it to repeat again. One thing I observe from many gamblers is that they don't learn from their mistakes but has the habit of repeating their mistakes by playing with amount that they can't afford to lose. I think this is a mistake but some gamblers don't sees it as a mistake but if you ask they would say they are taking risk because gambling is all about risk taking.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 31, 2024, 10:59:43 PM
I am very sad from the performance of  Man City players. They are good energetic players but they lose the final against Man United . Man United team were properly prepared and they worked hard day and night to win this match and they practice for this match many hours. I think that is not good for Man City team because in the future,they will face bad things in future because they have to play against big teams. With this performance they can win the match against big team. They should focus on their weaknesses and should work on them .Then they will be successful.
The lose happen to Manchester City by mistake and no one should be blame for a single mistake after having a successful season which they won the Premier League title after a tough encounter between them and Arsenal.

Things like this do happen for team as it has also happened to Leverkusen which has won the Bundesliga title without defeat and end up losing to Atalanta that couldn't even make top four in the Italian Seria A.

Manchester City will surely have another better season in the next coming season if they did not sign a single player because there players are world class and are i good condition to compete in all competition and in any league.


I don't know why people are in the believe that Manchester city lose against Manchester united was a mistake I mean did you not see the brilliant performance the united team put out?  For me I would like to agree that Manchester united actually over played and over strategies pep guadiola and Manchester city on that fixture and the credit should be given even if they then had a very bad season they still manage to pull through all this thick and thin. Well the season is already over and what I expect from the both team of Manchester is nothing but increase performance next season.
I think this was game that Manchester City didn't take very serious to win. If Manchester City had it in mind to win the game I don't think it will be easy for Manchester United because we already know Manchester United have been having challenges with their performance. I think getting the FA title was not a target for Manchester City that wad why they couldn't get it. Manchester City used all their energy in winning Premier league games to get the title.  Champions league and Premier league has always been the most important title for Manchester City to win but unfortunately they were eliminated in champions league and they got Premier league tittle. Manchester City loosing the FA Cup to Manchester United is not a surprise to me.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reflections on Responsible Gambling. Insights from the Community on: May 31, 2024, 10:33:25 PM

  • Have you become a responsible and ethical gambler, or do you still find subtle ways to increase your odds of winning?
I think this question is a funny one because if you should ask a gambler that is addicted a question like this he may just claim he is a responsible gambler. I have always been a responsible gambler because I do not believe gambling is a source of income which I need to depend on. The reason why people found it very difficult to be responsible gambler is because they feel the easiest way of generating money to play gambling all the time. Being a responsible gambler is mindset and a good understanding of how gambling works, then I believe it will be easy to be a responsible gambler.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do if you are loged out from your Sportsbet app after wining? on: May 31, 2024, 09:32:03 PM
My question is has anyone of you been in such situation before? And how were you able to handle such situation?
In a situation like this you just need to contact the gambling company and try follow them up,  cases is like these it is not something that they may quickly look into, but one just need to be patient to follow it up. If it is good and reputable gambling company the money won't just go like that without having it. This is the reason why it is important when gambling one should try to be to know a reputable gambling company to play bet just incase complicated issues occur their won't be any problem of losing money.

If gambling sites are facing challenges like this it is a bad one which will bring a bad name to them and this can make customers to be scared of using them to play bet.
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Scammers are the smart ones, be careful. on: May 31, 2024, 08:48:23 PM
Scammers are smart enough today that many users don't understand their techniques. Scammers usually make big offers, many are tempted to swallow those offers. People who haven't actually been victims of scammers don't realize how far things can go, scammers will rob you of everything you can't imagine could happen. The biggest thing is that we give opportunity to scammers, we often step into the trap knowingly. Personally, I would say that if we always refuse the tempting offers, then the scammers will not get any help in getting their hands on anything personal.
The reason why people easily for victim to scam is because of greed and the mindset of making money so fast in the Internet.  It is only greed that will make someone to believe free offers from the Internet and if people can learn to change their mindset concerning getting quick money it will be difficult for them to fall victim of scammers. Scammers tries to bring up new techniques in which can be used to scam people in getting money from them but if people can understand not to have interest of getting money from strangers online it will really help to fall victim to scammers.

Scammers understands that the only way to get people is to offer free money people would want to gain without making any effort and this is how many people wants to make money that's is why they fall victim to scam.
19  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How will you advice a newbie about this in 2024? on: May 31, 2024, 08:07:45 PM
Because this days, roughly all projects have same utilities, and also white papers, the only real difference I can see is the team members, and the money they are able to raise, is it a good advice to tell a newbie to count more on the team past experinece? Because saying this means that the team will atleast know how to do marketing and pump their token on their first bull market experience.
The advice I'll give to beginners that are new to bitcoin is that they shouldn't rush to invest in crypto just to make money because most beginners just feel all cryptocurrencies are the same and they can just pick anyone to invest. Most of the project that we having these days are scam projects just disguising to be one of the good project. For beginners to understand what cryptocurrencies is all about and to know which investment will be better to go into.

Beginners have always been a victim of investing of investing in these scan projects because most of them have no idea of what they are into, taking time to make good research will real help to understand that bitcoin is what should be considered as a good choice of investment in cryptocurrency than going for altcoins end up scamming investors.
20  Economy / Speculation / Re: The attractiveness of Bitcoin among my friends on: May 30, 2024, 09:33:07 PM
Logically I never spoke of the risks involved because I expected them to ask what could be the risks involved because that would show some levels of their interests. It all happened as thought which I also cleared them up
This is very common with beginners,  they always don't remember to ask about the risk in bitcoin,  they just feel so exacted about the profit that will be gained investing bitcoin.  It is good to let them know about the risk that is involved in bitcoin because beginner usually have a different mindset about bitcoin, it is better they have good understanding of bitcoin and not having a mentality of gaining quick profit in bitcoin.  Let them know the volatility of bitcoin, knowing all they need to know about Bitcoin will help them to make better decisions and not to have so much expectations from bitcoin.
