With a high rate of unemployment in some countries, school degrees can no longer guarantee a job after graduation. Many parents are encouraging their children to learn alternative skills even as they go to school. As a teenager, you shouldn't wait for your parents to do everything for you. You can learn several skills online and you will get their support.     

When I see how desperate young children are to own phones, I begin to wonder what they need them for. Some of them want phones just for entertainment. I am sure parents will get any device for a child if it is needed for something productive.

Inflation is here to stay. Young people should focus on learning skills or studing course that offer oppurtunities to earn high pay. They should also acquire more than one skill that would help them get more than one sources of income. 

Your dad would be proud of you for saving his life. Experience is the best teacher. Now you know that having an emergency fund is essential. Also, diversifying into Bitcoin after profiting from altcoins is a good idea.

I hope you carefully chose the altcoins you are keeping? Some of them easily lose value making hodling them very risky. Bitcoi has proved to be more relaible fo over a decade now. 

Some religions don't forbid gambling. I have attended a religious celebration where one of the major programmes is gambling. Funds realised from the gambling activities are used to fund the church project and for charity. 

Not only gambling, but any activity or behavior could also ruin your life if not put under control. Food, alcohol, movies, games, etc, should be done moderately to avoid addiction. Some people assume that prayers could trigger luck; it might be true or wrong. It becomes foolishness when you only pray and don't do your own part.     

It became obvious that Alejandro Quintero Gonzalez lost control of the game at some point. Fran García's two yellow cards and Endrick's red card are justifiable. Álvaro Carreras' second yellow card, which came because he told the referee, "You are terrible," should have been overlooked. The match is already tense enough that an experienced official would have calmed it down by overlooking some actions.

Another blunder was booking Jude Bellingham for coming into the game without permission after he went outside the pitch to clean blood from an injury. But it was discovered that the fourth official granted him the authorization to come into the game. The referee deserved to be cautioned for his loss of control.  

They also promoted a trading bot that gives a 70% win rate. When people claim that bots are reliable, I don't believe it. Humans are better traders than machines.   

There is no difference between your explanation now and gambling. The outcome of trading altcoins depends more on luck than knowledge. Most altcoins are pump and dump, so it takes luck to profit from them.   

A gift is special if it is cherished by the receiver. If there is a relative or friend who desires to own Bitcoin, this idea is wonderful. They will end up appreciating the gifted Bitcoin because they have the desire to own it. It will be better to offer another gift if the person is not interested in Bitcoin and has no knowledge of how to keep it safe. Bitcoin is receiving massive adoption, yet some young people are not interested at all.

The beauty of this gift is that if the receiver keeps Bitcoin for a long time and make a good profit. Another benefit of such a gift is that it could ignite the person's interest in learning more about Bitcoin and accumulating the coin.

Harry Kane scored 280 goals in 435 games for Tothenham. He has scored 113 goals for the German side in 118 appearances. You sre right,  he is scoring more goals in few games in Bayern Munich. I was among the fans that had doubt that the English striker would flourish in German league. English players struggle to make much impact outside the EPL. Kane has performed far above expectations and his only impediment to achieving more is his age. He is 32 and may not continue in this form except he has thesame strength like Messi ans Ronaldo.

Everyone knows what works for them. Religious people believe they can pray about everything and receive answers. In some religions, gambling is not a sin, which gives them the right standing to offer prayers for divine guidance and favour. I am not against anyone who wants to seek divine help before placing a bet, my reservation will be if they rely solely on prayers. You cannot substitute prayers for skills, research and analysis. Gambling is not forbidden by my religion, so I might decide to pray about my games. Nevertheless, prayer will not take the place of due diligence.

The bull run started earlier than predicted because of the SEC approval of the ETF that led to so much hype. So it is possible that it would also end earlier than expected. Anyway, my expectation was that Bitcoin would have hit $150k before the end of the year. But the tariff wars, regional conflict and the US government lockdown affected the growth of the global economy. The trade war forced investors to move funds to safe-haven assets, which affected the crypto market.

We don't need to have a major setback like a big exchange going bankrupt or experiencing a hack to limit Bitcoin price growth. Another tariff war between China and the US will limit Bitcoin's chance of hitting another ATH.

This news is not recent since it was announced during the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas in May. This is good for Bitcoin awareness since the club has close to 550 million fans globally. The good part about the fan base is that 80% of them are below 34 years, which is an attractive age for Bitcoin adoption. It's great to see one of the world's largest football clubs implementing a long-term Bitcoin investment plan.

Corrupt individuals can do everything possible to cover up. They don't mind destroying the reputation of an establishment just to legitimise a fraudulent activity. These findings have destroyed the goodwill of the Greek lottery that took so many years to build. Many people might begin to avoid betting on the lottery since there is a general perception that results might be rigged. It's so disappointing that people in government defraud citizens they took an oath to protect.

The two arrested suspects are Ukrainian, which means they might have information about the victims. Emptying all the money in his crypto wallet shows that they know he owns crypto. I also suspect they killed him because he might have recognised his attackers. This could also be politically motivated seeing that the victim's father is a deputy Mayor of a city in Ukraine. Torturing and finally burning him alive shows how wicked humans can be.

 It's another example of the risk of exposing your financial matters to the public or even friends and family. Financial matters should be private; people could go to great lengths to make money.

If the market is down, selling Bitcoin might lead to losses. An interest-free loan would be my first option if it is available. A low-interest loan might also be considered if possible. Life is more important than money; if selling Bitcoin is the last option, so be it. There will always be time to accumulate more. Situations like this might come up, that's why it is essential to have sufficient emergency funds in fiat.

In some countries, these jobs you mentioned might not always be available. Some people might not be able to engage in some jobs due to health or other problems. However, it is unwise to keep selecting jobs when you have fewer options and need money to sustain yourself and family. Take any available job and keep anticipating a better one.  

Neymar still has the chance of going to the World Cup based on Carlo Ancelotti's response when he was questioned. This was part of his response; 

The Italian coach made it clear that Neymar would have to prove to him that he deserves to be in the World Cup squad. This shows that the door is not shut on the Santos striker, let him be fit and show that he would add value to the team. No coach will want to bring in a liability to his team.   

The number of wins or losses should not determine when you continue or quit. You decide to stop betting when you have reached your target for the day or section. In gambling, your expectations should determine how long you gamble. Let your budget be your guide. I will sign out or continue not because I experienced losses or wins, but because I have reached my limit. Some gamblers keep gambling because of a long winning streak and they end up losing all they have gained.  

You should give an example to portray your observations. This is the opposite of what happens in the crypto market. Investing more money entitles you to high returns if the market is profitable. You will also lose more if the opposite is the case. Institutions like Strategy have made more money from Bitcoin than retail investors like you and me. Do your research properly and stop this misinformation. 

Having backup or emergency funds is essential if one wants to invest in the crypto market. The market is volatile; there is a need to make provision for uncertainty. Anyone who cannot be patient should not invest in cryptocurrencies. 

I might not be correct, VIP status doesn't have any house edge advantage.

Climbing the VIP level has some privileges, like special bonuses, increased deposit and withdrawal limits. These benefits might be motivating people to attain higher ranks. I heard from someone that he wants to become a VIP because he wants to be invited to the casino's special events.

Only high rollers will have such ambition to climb the VIP ladder. I didn't spend much on gambling, hence I would easily overcome such trick or trap.     

Businesses can be forced to accept crypto if the country has made Bitcoin a legal tender. Refusal can attract sanctions, as in the case of El Salvador. Until the country relaxed its legal tender laws due to IMF pressure, refusal to accept Bitcoin was against the law.

Accepting crypto should not be forced on businesses because they might have genuine reasons for not adopting it. Making it an optional or alternative legal tender is ideal.     

The global economy depends heavily on fiat. Crypto is becoming popular and adoption is increasing, this cannot be seen as a sign of overpowering the fiat system. We cannot predict what the future holds; nevertheless, from my prediction, the crypto system will keep serving as an alternative to the fiat system.

Some banks have started offering crypto services to satisfy some customers. Banks are in business; they keep diversifying into different areas to gain more profit. So they will always evolve by tapping into new opportunities.

I have also been an advocate of gambling regulation because I want underage and vulnerable people to be protected from manipulative promotions. There is a need to seek measures that reduce child gambling and seek means to shield people with poor mental conditions.

Nevertheless, the point you have raised is important. If government agencies are only interested in making money from gambling establishments,.regulation is useless. The main function of these regulators should not be money but protecting citizens from sharp practices exhibited by some casinos. If they cannot fight for gamblers,  there is no need for regulation.
