Exactly my point. Your friend can be trusted with anything in this world except money. Even siblings cannot be trusted with money, how much more with a stranger. The reason why I don’t want to trade having someone in my side, or just want to have my own privacy when trading. Aside that he will only distract my focus into my trades, I’m not comfortable also knowing someone knows my log in information when trading. It’s always better to trade on your own, and to trade alone without other people being aware that you’re into trading. Otherwise, they can be your friend today but become your enemy in the future when they have witnessed that you have huge amount of funds in your trades.

I believe everyone got high hopes with bitcoin most particularly newbies that we will see bitcoin price in a consistent price increase. I think that would only be possible if bitcoin stops being volatile, and create a fixed upward movement regardless of the condition of the market. However, despite of bitcoin’s unpredictable price, still we are seeing at the moment a slight upward motion for bitcoin, which I think is understandable since we are heading for this year’s bull run.

Yes, patience is the best solution for now. If you can’t do it, then I don’t think you’ll make it big here in the crypto market. Although short term investing with bitcoin is still profitable, but if we can make it big and be patient, that would be more satisfying.

Inflation will be here for good and I don’t think we can still do something about it. I think the only thing we can do is to increase our job or find side hustles that will generate some profits for us, as relying on single job alone won’t work anymore. Even if there’s salary rate increase, but the prices of goods and services will increase as well, so it will still be a lot harder for us to make ends meet.

With regards to bitcoin, it won’t nothing to do with inflation, but if we can maximize our bitcoin investment, that would mean a great help for us when it comes to securing our finances, which other investments can hardly do it.

I think that should be our own initiative already by observing the crowd first and see if they are open to volatile investments or not, otherwise introducing bitcoin to them and giving them a glimpse of how it works and turn into profits might only be a waste of time, and throwing you a lot of questions but only criticize it in the end and leave negative impressions. I don’t want to be pessimistic but this is the reality about bitcoin. So as much as possible, I don’t tell everyone that I am into bitcoin, but only those who are closest to me knew that I am a bitcoin enthusiast.

Traders who often see trading as a get rich quick would not settle into small profits, but would disregard it and look for even bigger profits. That’s how greed affects the mindset of traders, not realizing that it could even lead to more losses in the end. That’s why if you want to trade because of greed, just learn to avoid trading at all cost, in order to prevent your hard-earned money from inevitable losses and to protect your mental and emotional health state from depression.

Small profits once compounded turn into big profits. If you are a responsible trader, you should know about this. Otherwise, you are never trading, but gambling your trades.

Good job mate. Know that you are just starting the process to achieve your bitcoin goals. Just continue to increase your motivation and keep learning as well so that you can also accumulate more bitcoin even through other means. And with regards on helping some needy, kudos to that. You have a good heart and that’s a good sign that you have to work hard and earn more bitcoin. So that when you end up being rich with bitcoin, you will continue to help a lot of less fortunate people and let this be your inspiration aside from your personal goals and desires.

I agree. If this will only the possible way to discourage using AI, then so be it. Anyone gets caught should be punished and should be out of the campaign, otherwise the campaign manager might possibly be put at risk. Although this could be additional job for campaign managers, but I think that’s part of their job to protect the campaign from getting copy right information that are intentionally done by members of the campaign.

As much as we want to get rid of any addiction, but I think when it comes to money, there’s no way it’ll be possible. Money is what makes us surviving these days, without money, it’s impossible to meet all our basic necessities. Because of that, we can’t blame the people to rush over money, or to get addicted on earning money just like OP says. What else can we do, money almost turns everything into possibility. And even with people who have no life’s direction, once you offer them money, it will turn like they have a lot of life’s plans all of a sudden, something that only money can do.

Every time I lose, I become more cautious with my betting. Sometimes we make mistakes by thinking that a bet is a lock, and because we think that way, we become aggressive in terms of the amount we risk. Sadly, most of the time, it ends up as a losing bet. I realized that we should not put too much emotion into gambling; it's a game of numbers. Be responsible with managing your bankroll and aim to have more wins than losses. Follow the steps with discipline and, combined with skills in sports capping, we will eventually be profitable in the long run.

It's okay to think we are an expert because it gives us confidence but we should stick with the right strategy particularly in managing your funds since if winning streak possible, losing streak is possible as well.

The series will end today. Kyrie vs. his old team, hmmmm... that's going to be fun, and Kyrie will try to prove to the crowd that he is with the better team. I read an article that Kyrie has been on a losing streak against Boston since he stomped on the Celtics' logo. Will that streak be broken in the NBA Finals?

Also, it's a good matchup: Luka vs. Tatum and Kyrie vs. Brown. All are great players, but I believe Dallas has the edge since both Tatum and Brown aren't clutch players, based on my observations of their games during the regular season and playoffs.

I won't question his decision as I believe he knows what he is doing. Yes, it's risky, but isn't that what we want to see? I mean, we sometimes complain about a boxer cherry-picking his opponent. Now that we see Spence taking a risky fight, I think we should be happy with that. Despite the loss against Crawford, it doesn't affect his confidence. And besides, this is a championship fight, so this high-risk fight could lead to a high reward if he wins.

So what will happen here? you know it's getting complicated already as both camps have their own belief and Ryan has not admitted he used an illegal substance. I think we should just trust this matter to the governing body as I believe they know what to do so the truth will come out and punished Ryan if he needs to be punished.

What we are seeing now is just probably a legal battle, and we know this thing would last, until it will derive a decision, so we can't hype this conversation much as we are not experts, and maybe what we can do is just to speculate, not good. Let's discuss more on the upcoming fights for both fighters, especially Ryan which has no scheduled fight yet.

C Stand has improve his game, he needed that mid range jumper so he can still get some points even not close to the paint. And yes, his problem really is the FT, it's very low, I think he should change his form as I believe that can be develop. In fact, I think Gobert was worst than him in terms of FT, but look at Gobert now, his FT percentage is very high, he knew how to do the right timing when throwing the ball. I hope to see C. Stand improve in the future as with his size and height, it would be easy for him to get fouled, so his FT is one of the best weapon.

Bitcointalk forum is a good avenue if we want to know more and get educated with bitcoin and the whole crypto space. However, relying on it alone will not satisfy your hunger of learning, but you should need to take extra research by exploring all over the internet and find legit articles that will provide the information which the forum lacks. Yes, a lot of benefits can be gained from bitcointalk forum, as long as you do your due diligence to read and understand what posters are trying to say and contribute.

That was really close for Ginebra backers as the spread closed at -4.5 and Ginebra didn't really dominate the game. They just came back after being down by double digits. The "never say die" attitude was on display once again, and it's a good thing C. Stand has a new trick up his sleeve. That mid-range jump shot was added and made him more deadly.

Also, Ahamnissi played great basketball. That was really good for Ginebra. However, I have a feeling that Game 6 will be Meralco's, and there will be a Game 7. In the Finals, it might be short, being dominated by SMB.

Exactly. Bitcoin is not actually a necessity that it should be taught at an early age. Let the kids enjoy their childhood first, just pure play and have fun. Eventually, when they reach their mature age, if they really want to know about bitcoin and get educated, they can always pursue with it with all the free resources in the internet.

This make sense at all, and because of your comment I tried to confirm it by making a  research and I see these top countries with high viewership on NBA.

https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/research/global-nba-basketball-viewers-2024

US 79%
UK 77%
Germany 72%
France 65%
Italy 64%
China 90%

^{Ps : read the full article to get an idea how that percentage were derived.}

I'm from the Philippines, our country is not in the list by NBA is very popular here, even popular that our local basketball league which is the Philippine Basketball Association.

Looks like you are on the wrong side, mate. I wonder what happened to the line; it opened at -2.5 and moved to -4.5. Probably the amount of hype is very high after that big win by Ginebra. Now the game is very close, although Meralco led by double digits, Ginebra did come back. On a Sunday game, I think this will favor Ginebra, but since you are getting the spread, that's a tough one. Still, I'm hoping you'll win.

Congrats @bisdak40 , just enough to win your bet as Ginebra won by 5 points.

I don’t feel that as a signature campaign participant, I am receiving just a very low compensation. In fact, no other company would offer as much as this and to think that it’s a weekly payout, then that becomes more attractive most especially to breadwinners.

As long as we are being paid here, new members will continue to enter and hope to be a part of a signature campaign. With how hard it is right now to find a good job outside this forum, having this kind of side job should never be ignored. Except for those who are still not aware that crypto signature campaigns exist.

Exactly. Even rich people never focus on a single source of income, but they definitely have multiple investments that will generate profits for them. Most particularly for poor individuals, the need to engage in side jobs is not just a choice anymore but a must have so that financial security will be achieved.

I’m not actually a trader but having most of my friends going into trading, I was slowly exposed to that until I started liking the idea in order to improve my current life’s condition. I know trading is highly profitable, but it can also be an instant way to make you lose quickly. But with proper knowledge and skills appropriate for trading, and with consistent exposure and experience in the market, I believe the possibility to gain massive profits in trading will be highly possible in the end.
