1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop paying money to learn trading when you can learn it yourself on: May 31, 2024, 09:48:20 PM
It depends on the mind of someone and their ability to grasp ideas.
You are right, and I will also say some people are always finding it difficult to learn online, some people prefer to learn from people whom they will be seeing physically, so we are just different from each other, not everyone will learn when they are reading books, so we should all do what works for us. If you are the type that can easily assimilate when you read books and watch tutorial videos, then it’s fine, but if you are the type that learns easily when someone teaches you physically, then get someone, but make sure you are getting someone reliable.

To be honest, trading is difficult for someone who isn't very fast
Trading is really difficult, you have to be dedicated and ready to learn. Some people think trading is easy and they can easily make money from it, so they don’t care to accumulate much knowledge about trading before jumping into it.

Hoping that Dortmund comes out the winners is on a very slim chance and i don't really see that happening because Madrid isn't going to allow that happen because they are too experienced enough to just letting Dortmund get a victory like that and if it eventually happens
That’s just what everyone is saying. Lots of people are just confident that Real Madrid will win the trophy this season. Dortmund's performances have been good, and their defense is very strong, which I know will be kind of difficult for Real Madrid to break, but I just have the feeling that Real Madrid will win the match even if we won’t be seeing many goals in the match. Real Madrid won’t just want to lose the match after they have gotten to the final, Ancelotti will do everything possible to lift the cup. But we all know that football is just full of surprises, so let’s see if Dortmund will be able to surprise us in the final.

If a person asks to borrow money and openly says that he will spend it on sports betting, or even more so on roulette and slot machines, then it is almost 100% safe to say that he will lose the money and will have difficulty returning the money.
Why will someone even be confident that they are going to win a bet? Most people who take out loans just to gamble are always confident in the games they are planning to place bets on, so if they can win, they are going to repay the loan that they took. Some people always have the belief that before they gamble with all the money they borrowed, they are going to win back the money and make profits, but gambling doesn’t work like that, you might gamble with all the loan you took and never win.

There are a very small number of players who can consistently generate profits over many years, but I highly doubt they are playing with money borrowed from people they know.
Some people are always winning. I agree with you, but some people who are always claiming they are winning are not really winning, they are just deceiving people. I don’t think people who are really winning will be gambling with loan money, they will have generated enough money, and that’s what they will be using to gamble.

I am very sad from the performance of  Man City players. They are good energetic players but they lose the final against Man United .
Maybe no one expected the outcome of the match, most people who placed bets on the match lost because everyone never expected Manchester City to lose the match. Manchester City did everything possible to win the Premier League. I was expecting them to win their match against Manchester United also so that they would win both the Premier League and the FA Cup, but Manchester City disappointed me even though I am not their fan. Manchester City dominated the match, but what everyone is after is the club with the highest goal, dominating a match doesn’t matter.

Mauricio Pochettino did not deserve to be sacked for many reasons. Firstly, Chelsea showed a positive trend in their results.
I was shocked the day I saw the news that Chelsea sacked Pochettino. I never expected a news like that because towards the end of the season, Chelsea played well, their performance improved, and I was expecting a better performance from Chelsea by next season because pochettino was already getting a perfect arrangement for the Chelsea squad, so I was expecting improvement from them by next season. Chelsea played well in their last five matches, everyone was just surprised by Chelsea's performance, but Pochettino got sacked, and I am sure next season won’t also be easy for Chelsea.

Gambling is not a bad thing but can be considered as one of the main sources of entertainment and passing time. There are many who live a lonely life but gambling is the only good source of entertainment for them.
Gambling should just be a source of entertainment, but people are no longer making it their source of entertainment but their source of income, which is making people have the wrong perception about gambling. I will say most of the people who are gambling just for the sake of money are addicted to gambling, and we all know the crazy things some addicted gamblers do, which makes people think gambling is a bad thing.
 
Addicted gamblers can do anything to make money just to gamble, they can go to the level of disturbing the community peace just because they want to make money to gamble, so most people are already thinking the only people who gamble are irresponsible people, but they don’t know that only addicted gamblers do crazy things.

Since the announcement of Tapswap, there has been addiction of youths to their phones, trying to mine as much coin as they can before 30th of may which is the proposed date of their launching. Tapswap is a decentralized exchange on the Solana block chain and every one, especially youths, are trying to take advantage of it but the issue is, will Tapswap be able to meet the expectations of its miners coming may 30th?  Undecided

He had aslo told me that he's contented with his monthly salaries at then but now he has fall back to me that he's ready to invest because he has lost his job and it's becoming tough for him to meet up with his financial requirements.
So after things are hard for your cousin, he’s looking for a way to invest in bitcoin. You should tell your cousin that after investing in bitcoin, he shouldn’t be expecting a daily, weekly, or monthly return. If your cousin is investing, he should make sure his investment plan is long term and not short term because things might end up not going well for him. If your cousin wants to invest in bitcoin, then he should get himself a job.
 
He needs a job to earn money so that he will be able to use the money for survival, but if he doesn’t have any source of income, even if he invests in bitcoin, he will end up selling the bitcoin back whenever he is in need of money.
9  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How will you advice a newbie about this in 2024? on: May 29, 2024, 04:14:25 PM
I am willing to ask the audience though, so here it is,  is a copied white paper still a red flag for projects? If a newbie ask you this question what will be your answer to them?
Why do you copy other projects white paper? It’s a red flag for me. Why do you have to work with other project ideas? If you can’t take your time to write a white paper, then you have nothing to offer, it means you don’t even know what you are doing, all you are after is just for people to invest, and after investing, I am sure with time, they will scam investors.
 
Never invest in either a new project or a strong project that copies a white paper. Things might be going well now, but don’t be surprised that later in the future things might not really go well for the project because the team doesn’t really have anything to offer. That’s why they copied other projects white papers.

I am pretty sure that they are going to perform even badly. I heard someone say that maybe Manchester United should just try and keep him for another season. It cannot be any worse right?
Manchester United's performance was kind of poor in the season that has just been completed. I'm not expecting anything special from Manchester United by next season with the way they performed in the just completed season. Getting a new coach won't just change everything at once, it's going to take time before the coach will familiarize himself with the club, and it's going to take time before the coach will get to understand the players. You don't just expect a new coach to come, and you think they will start winning all their matches. I know ten hag's performance hasn't really been good, but he shouldn't be the only one to be blamed for Manchester United's current poor performance. 
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How did/do you handled a gambling addict story. on: May 28, 2024, 08:31:58 PM
Gambling addiction can be very terrible and frustrating that it affects both your financial and emotional wellbeing.  There are lots of gamblers out there in the open struggling with gambling addiction  wishing to share their pains with someone who could understand, but they don't actually know the right person(s) to confide in about the pains they bear as they fear that they will be judged, criticized and the rest.
Some addicted gamblers are really going through a lot. Some of them really want to stop gambling, but they are finding it very difficult to do that, and they are scared to seek for help because they might be looked down on. Immediately after you tell some people about your gambling addiction, instead of them helping you out, they will end up making you feel like an irresponsible person instead of helping the person out.

Has anyone gambling addict shared his situation with you and how did you handled it?
No addicted gambler has shared their problem with me before, most of them are always thinking they are not addicted to gambling, as it’s obvious that they are addicted to gambling.

12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People keep asking me to borrow money, some of them for betting on: May 28, 2024, 08:14:09 PM
It has become increasingly common for friends and not-so-close "friends" to come and ask me to borrow money. I don't usually ask for the purpose, but some ask me because of betting at online houses.
If anyone asks me to borrow them money and I suspect they are going to be using the money for gambling, then I will be rejecting the offer instantly. How will you take a loan to gamble? It doesn’t really make any sense. We all know gambling is all about luck, sometimes you will be sure you are going to win a particular bet, but after placing your bet, things might go wrong. So if you end up losing the money you borrowed from gambling, how are you going to pay back the loan?

The last time I lent money to a colleague, who I hadn't had much contact with other than at work for a short period, it was with great difficulty that I got the money back.
The only time I do give out loans to people is when I know the person is requesting a loan from me for an emergency purpose. The problem is that it’s always easy to request a loan, but where there is always a problem is that whenever you want to pay back the loan, most people find it difficult to do so.

Do you usually lend money to relatives, friends, etc.? Have you ever felt bad about it, done it unwillingly?
Sure, I do lend my family members and my friends money, but only when I know that what they really need the money for is really worth it. You can’t come to me to request for money to gamble, I won’t even respond to the person, no matter how close we are.

And when they are female friends, do you lend them?
Yes, if I know I will be getting my money back, then it’s normal.

No matter how weak Manchester United looked this season, they eventually won the trophy, and Arsenal, which was much better, remained nothing.
This is just what Manchester United fans will be using against Arsenal. With the way Arsenal tried so hard this season, they couldn’t get any trophy, but Manchester United, whose performance were so poor throughout the season, managed to get a trophy. If I'm serious, it’s a shame for Arsenal. After trying hard this season, they couldn’t get any trophy. Let's see if Arsenal will be able to get something next season. Arsenal were targeting the Premier League, there was a stage where I thought they would get it, but Arsenal ended up ending the league in second place.

But at the same time, no one is saying that Arteta could be fired
Why do people even think Arteta should be fired? Arsenal's performance this just ended season was better than their performance in previous seasons. Even though they ended the season in second place, they gave Manchester City which won the league, a difficult moment this season. Arteta should be given more time to keep trying, I am sure he will win the trophy for Arsenal one day.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are confident with your picks, do you win most of the time? on: May 26, 2024, 02:32:41 PM
Sometimes I also do this kind of strategy, I will go on the opposite on what I thought to be betting and surprisingly, it's also good for me.
I haven’t tried something like this before. Whenever I am gambling, I always follow whatever my mind tells me, I don’t go against it. You don’t really expect me to be winning frequently, there will be losses sometimes, but I think it works for me like that, and it’s really better. Before I decide to conclude on the side that I will be placing my bet on, I will have taken my time to do my analysis. I will see that if I place my bet, I have higher chances of winning the bet, so I will have to proceed. So after I do my analysis and I know I might be winning the bet if I place it, then why will I decide to do it the other way around.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does addicted gamblers only lose money all the time on: May 26, 2024, 01:30:19 PM
We keep talking about gambling addiction and how bad it is to become addicted, does it mean that addicted gamblers lose money all the time?
Yes, addicted gamblers lose money frequently because they are always finding it difficult to stop gambling whenever they are losing, which is always making them lose frequently. When gambling, you are supposed to know when you should stop gambling, when you are losing, you should know when to stop, and when you are winning, you should also know when to stop. Don’t say you won’t stop gambling just because you are winning, the winning won’t continue.

Do you means those guys doesn't win anything at all? Can they not be lucky to win jackpots?
Addicted gamblers do win, but if the amount won and lost is calculated, then you will come to discover that the amount lost is more than the amount they have won. The mindset addicted gamblers always have is that if they don’t stop gambling, time will come when they will be able to hit the jackpot.

17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 25, 2024, 07:54:14 PM
We all know that we cannot play for a long time without being responsible players; we could go crazy, or we could lose all our money; at some point, you have to realize that you need to play responsibly, so I created this poll and this discussion to pick your reasons and explain it.
Right before I started gambling, I knew the implementation of being an addicted gambler, so I am always very cautious whenever I am gambling. From the day one that I started gambling, I always gambled with just a small amount of money and always have a budget for gambling every month. No matter how I gamble, I didn’t exceed my gambling budget. The time that I cautioned myself that I have to gamble responsibly was before I started gambling.

In my case, I have to lose a lot of money to realize I have to gamble responsibly if I don't want to break my finances and experience depression, so now I control myself and monitor my expenses, and I'm doing good with it.
What I use to control my gambling is my gambling budget. If I immediately use up the money I allocate for gambling for that month, I will never deposit more money in my gambling account for that month. I will have to stop gambling until I enter another month.

It was a shocking moment for Manchester City at the Wembley stadium today as they lost 1-2 at the favor of Manchester United.
Today's match was just a surprise to me. I never expected Manchester City to lose the match. Since Manchester United's performances haven’t really been good and Manchester City's performances have been incredible, I was thinking they would do everything possible to win the match. Honestly, I was even expecting the match to be an easy win for Manchester City. Seeing this result is just kind of surprising. Manchester City dominated the match, but all they could get was just one goal. I am really disappointed in Manchester City because I never believed they would lose.
 
Congratulations to Manchester United! I never expected United to surprise me in the match, but they played well and were able to win the FA Cup. Lots of people will be losing their bets today because most people placed their bets on Manchester City to win, but United are the heroes today.

Are your parents investing in bitcoin ? Has it impacted your journey with crypto ?
Most old parents are not really interested in bitcoin in my region or should I say in my community, not that they are having any negative thing about bitcoin, but they are not just ready to invest in bitcoin. My parents don’t have bitcoin, they are not really interested in it, maybe just because of their age. I told them about bitcoin, they just believe in physical investment, but they never discouraged me from investing in it before. Whenever we are having discussions about bitcoin, they do encourage me, and they do say good things about it, but all my brothers and sisters have bitcoin in their wallets.

yep, I agree, by making quality posts, in  sense of not using AI posts, so that other members will give appreciation with merit but it also not guarantee. Maybe OP is new to this forum and he doesn't know that posting using AI is not allowed here.
If the OP uses an AI to make posts, it’s not going to take time before it’s going to be detected that the OP is using AI to post, and the account is going to be tagged. If you are using AI to post, you will be caught even before anyone gives you merit, so it’s just better to take your time and read and make posts yourself. It’s obvious that the OP is still a newbie who is desperate to earn merit to rank up without working for it. The OP thinks that if an account is created here immediately, merit will start increasing, but the OP doesn’t know  it’s the quality post made that will earn him merit.
