1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: Today at 10:02:36 AM
Last night the Boston Celtics won the first game and took a 1-0 lead in the series.

I didn't think Dallas would end with such a big difference, I even thought they would win.
Doncic fought alone yesterday, I think, Kyri was bad last night, he couldn't support the team. Players like this are very important in these kinds of games, if you can't get support from them, you always have a high chance of losing.
Most of us thought that they're going to win against the Celtics but no.
In the series, yes, but in game 1, I think most of us think the Celtics will win as they are the heavy favorite to win.
Usually, odds are based on the perception of the bettors, that's why I said most of us believe the Celtics will win, however, it's different from the betting points handicap as Dallas had more bettors on that.
The odds for the Mavs was interesting and that's why I think many have bet for them.

When players are in a bad shape and didn't have a great performance especially their main players, this would end up badly for the team.

I think most teams should really develop each and everyone from the bench, those that they can rely on. Not mostly to the rookies but there are exceptional ones.

They really need some help out there.

It's not that they are in bad shape, it's about the strategy of the game where the Celtics had a better one, but comes game 2, expect a big adjustment as Dallas will now allow they'll loss via blowout again.
I'm sure that they're going to adjust big by game 2.

Sure they will not allow to have a 2 straight loss on a finals game. But that can change, the pulse of most of us are going to change if ever they win by game 2.

Do you think a religious leader should be involved in gambling?
No.

Do also accept his reason for engaging in gambling?  
No.

Are these casinos right to ban him from gambling?
Yes.

The casino's reason about stopping him is normal when they have one customer that keeps on cashing out money from him. But his reason about that it's given to him by his god is unbelievable.

While I know that there are faithful folks but him being an example as a bishop or leader of his religion, he should set himself as an example to his followers.
3  Economy / Speculation / Re: $120,000 Bitcoin is going to happened? on: Today at 08:02:30 AM
I am new to BitcoinTalk BTC
Welcome.  Wink

My question is that I heard rumors about $120,000 Bitcoin
What is your opinion on this matter?
Those are not rumors but predictions.

Go to the Speculation board and you'd see higher price predictions for Bitcoin.

And it is only going to be a matter of time until we all see those price predictions come into reality.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: Better Money: Gold, Fiat, Or Bitcoin? on: Today at 06:55:47 AM
money is used as a transaction tool, while gold and bitcoin are used as investment tools. For transaction tools I prefer fiat money, while for investment I will choose gold and bitcoin. I won't talk about who is the best between the two because investing in gold and bitcoin both have advantages and disadvantages. investing in bitcoin is very volatile, although you can make big profits in a short time, you can also lose big in a short time. While investing in gold is safer because the price of gold is more stable
While the volatility that gold gets isn't that much and it's the preferred investment of many traditional investors. The risk that Bitcoin has is certainly worth it to take.

But we're not the same kind of investors and I agree that if an investor has to go with the safe route of investing then gold is the choice that they need to have.

you cannot get big profits like investing in Bitcoin.
Big gold investors can still get profit from it but it takes time compared to the span of how bitcoin moves.
5  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is going to touch all time highs on: Today at 05:59:45 AM
Currently, the price of Bitcoin is hovering between $62k and $70k for a long time.
Is it a long time already?

To be honest, we have to chill about the price movements. Bitcoin is doing well, period. Start your tracking back to January 2024.

This year started with $42k and look how much it is right now. Moved more than 50% of that price in just half of the year. And looking to break and become stable again to $70kish again.

You'll notice that after every halving, Bitcoin prices dump a lot, and now that the halving is in 2024, dumping is basically a good time for investors to hold. Because many investors wait long enough to hold by buying bitcoins during dips. But currently the price of Bitcoin is within the control of every investor and there is enough time for everyone to invest if they want. But after a few days the price of Bitcoin will start to rise again and hit the highest peak.
I think that dump has already happened last month when it has reached $58k. But I know where you are coming from and there can really be another series of dumps soon.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Converting altcoin profits into Bitcoin? on: Today at 05:27:12 AM
It's a good idea to collect alcoins and exchange them for bitcoin. I've been doing that for a long time. I often exchange prizes from bounties for dollars and I buy bitcoin because I'm more confident in keeping bitcoin as an asset.
Good job.

That's what others need to learn from you. I have nothing against the altcoins holders that don't have Bitcoin but they have to start thinking the importance of owning Bitcoin.

Even the developers of the coins that they are holding, for sure holds hefty amount of BTC on their stashes.

With so much listings of upcoming and current airdrops, you need to have a reliable list of the airdrops that may become successful.

I am just mentioning the websites but I don't really use them at all. Websites like this --> https://airdrops.io/latest/

And you do the rest for searching other websites that lists airdrops for this June of 2024 and the rest of the year.

I overheard some people talking about a website I've never heard of and in my curiosity I decided to visit and make a account today.
Welcome to the forum, you'll probably just hear the same stories about trying to research about Bitcoin and stuff and ended up here. Some were introduced by their close friends and relatives.

As you explore the forum, don't forget that we have a dedicated section for the newbies.

Using public wifi's will make you the victim of "man-in-the-middle" attacks.

The goal of an attack is to steal personal information, such as login credentials, account details and credit card numbers. Targets are typically the users of financial applications, SaaS businesses, e-commerce sites and other websites where logging in is required.

You'll never know if that public wifi you're connecting is from an hacker that's trying to do this attack to anybody that will connect to them.

That's why I don't connect to any public wifis anymore unless I have my spare phone, my old phone and just want to watch some entertaining videos on youtube. With this, I know that I am doing but for everyone, still it's best not to connect on any on them.

11  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learning Crypto trading as a beginner on: June 07, 2024, 10:28:45 PM
Experience is the most valuable thing for every human being in any case, from there we can see and learn what mistakes we made in previous lives. Agree with what you say, the sacrifice of wanting to become a successful trader is not easy, full of winding roads, a lot of time and money to spend in trading to gain experience or knowledge there or profit there. Every step or in practicing we gain valuable experience there.
The successful people are the ones that has the toughest journey. Some may have been just lucky with their success but if the success is in crypto trading.

You bet that trader have lost a lot of money before able to show how much he's able to gain with his trades.

To the beginners, you take what lesson you are able to extract from your experiences and take also the tips from the experienced ones so that you have something to apply for some twisted turn of events with your trading activities.
12  Other / Off-topic / Re: Charge new hp on: June 07, 2024, 09:55:29 PM
In your case, I've read that they're telling the customers to charge it first with 100% and then don't let it drain and once it reaches 20%, you have to charge it.

So charging it for the first time, it's fine to full battery. And then practice the latter about 20% and never drain it.

Most phones today have their option to prolong the battery and won't charge to 100%. The options are just about 80%-85% of battery so it's lesser charge time.

And once your phone reaches that percentage of battery, they will stop charging automatically. This is common with iPhones and samsung phones.

But you know what, my old phone is used to charge at 100% and I have never changed the battery of it. It's still alive and kicking and I am sure others have their old phones like more than 5 years to date and still working flawless and never replaced the battery too.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sweet Bonanza vs Gates of Olympus on: June 07, 2024, 09:22:23 PM
It's just all about the theme but I find sweet bonanza that are also being played by my friends. GO is also a good one but this is more of our preferences and we'll never agree if SB is what we're playing more of our time than GO.

Well, both are loved by most of us here but for the sake of discussion, you'd really choose what you just like and enjoy it.

I have lost money in both of those games and that's why for me none of those is a good one but surely everyone has their own choice and everyone's luck is different. Some people may have better luck at Sweet Bonanza while others may win more at Gates of Olympus. So by keeping all those factors in mind, I won't picky any of those two games as my favorite one and I won't consider those best either.
That's fine mate, if none of them is your preference because of bad experience.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't you think you should invest in Bitcoin instead of burning your money in fire on: June 07, 2024, 08:59:21 PM
In all aspects, smoking is a bad habit. If we can encourage the students not to enter smoking or stop smoking for good, definitely that would bring a relief. With that, they can start saving their spare money from their allowance that could be of benefit in the future.
I've got a lot of smoking friends during my highschool and college life. They've never stop doing that but not all of them ended with a bad life.

But it's true that it is bad and they might not experience the health concerns of it as soon as possible but once they grow older, they'll feel it.

They don't think that the money that they use to buy for smokes are coming from their parents hard work. Even with that, with the spare money that they have still being allotted to things that they do like with vices.

While that will help them in the future if they use it for investing but with the younger minds today, they won't think about their future as they think about how to have fun at certain age.
15  Other / Off-topic / Re: How has faxing been modernized? on: June 07, 2024, 08:26:14 PM
Hi, I'm interested in how traditional faxing has adapted to digital technology. Can you explain the benefits and functionality of digital faxing?
Is there an innovation with faxing? because AFAIK, there's not that much difference on it and it's the same as before.

Maybe the interconnectivity of it is when you want to receive something from your mobile phone and you want to fax it on your fax machine, you can easily do that.

Nonetheless, that's the same function as before and the quicker printing of it is pretty much the good thing about it.

I'm not sure if I'm approaching this problem correctly, but I don't see the popularity of FAX in this era and it's changed quite a bit as tools like email, social networks, phone numbers, addresses offline,...
I happened to watch some short videos talking about the need to use FAX machines in Japan, mainly that they maintain old habits because it is familiar. But in reality, the current social context where texts contain relevant content has many supporting means, or maybe I'm misunderstanding some concept mentioned here.
In offices, aside from emails, fax machines are still quite popular especially to those that are needed the files asap.

You don't misunderstand the concept here and what you are seeing is right as well. But you don't see that often but for me, I still see a lot of companies or offices that does have it.

In fact, in my past companies that I've worked with, all of them has fax machines but with modernization that OP is talking with, there's nothing new on it.

17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling push notifications. on: June 07, 2024, 01:39:45 AM
After being registered on a few sites  that offer online  gambling I have experienced on my mobile the increasing number of push notifications from other services of gambling  field.  My mobile is not tight to those sites where I'm gambling but bounded with Gmail.

I gamble via my laptop rather than mobile.

Does those push notifications mean that Google has linked somehow my  laptop and Gmail account?

What is the best way to protect myself from such "guardianship" (if any)?
You have to turn them off on your app/browser settings and specific on notifications, or go through with each of those apps that are annoyingly goes through your notifs.

That is why I don't really allow and disables them because if you don't, you share a cookie with them every time you visit them and they'll send you bunch of these annoying notifications.

And as for google, they play a big role in here. They save our activities through their browser if you use chrome and IIRC, there's a way through its settings to disable any kind of notification.
18  Economy / Speculation / Re: another ATH , 71k and still climbing. on: June 06, 2024, 11:53:21 PM
It is gradually coming down again and and we don't know the next Pump it is planning.
That's fine, it plays around from $67k - $71k.

With that range, it can be said that it's actually good price while being stable at those price.

And in this year it has reached All Time High three times. In 2021 the All Time High was $69k. Then this year at first it hit $70k, secondly it hit 72, thirdly it hit $73k and today again $71k and that means this year it will only hit All Time High throughout the year. And early next year it will hit the last All Time High of $100k. And all the predictions of $100+k would come to have rest.
And that's why this year up to next year it will reach every new high that we're going to have but it might take time if we're going to check it from to time.

Becase from that perspective, it might be boring and quite long by looking at it.

I might not know the reason but it might be the correction that is going on. And it is the good time to be continue hodling the coins.
A normal move of its volatility but not actually a correction, it's still on $70k.
19  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is there really a path to success? on: June 06, 2024, 11:28:27 PM
I don't see any contradiction there. I've said that there's a path to success but others don't like what they are taking through.
Basically people can find a way to be rich and successful however it does not necessarily mean that it’s the path that someone would want to take. Maybe their passion lies elsewhere. But passion can’t always give you what you need so people are forced to at least momentarily put these passion aside to make a living.
That's exactly what it is.

They have a different passion but they've found the way to riches and despite that they don't like it, they are taking that path. Anyway, when they become successful and rich, they can always go back to their passion and do it.

It's like our childhood memories and toys that we want to get back to when we can't afford them before.

2.Pay your Debt

Having debt or bad debt is why most of us continue to suffer because it's like a weed that, if you don't cut the root, will grow again. And the debt, when you don't pay it, has interest compounding. So your number one expense is to pay off the debt when it earns a lot of money. Be responsible not to ignore the people we owe money to, talk to them, say thank you, and pay all the debt.

We should also know that our reputation also depends on it, and when we know how to pay, many people will trust you. And when you know how to pay off debt, you also show that we are not only thinking about ourselves.
That is true.

One thing I've in my life is to pay debts. Whether they're the old ones or those new ones. As long as you remember them and you didn't intend to default and run away from the person you've borrowed to, you have to pay your obligation.

Those people that have borrowed money from me and never paid at forgotten even telling hi or hello to me and talk about their debt, they always have a shortcoming.

I don't know but that's probably how fair life is for those that are taken advantaged to.
Paying debt is always an obligation, and not just something that you can easily forget and leave. Otherwise, you are no longer different from scammers who just walk away after they have taken advantage from their target. While a lot of people ignore their debts and act like they’re not accountable for it, but it’s still a big impact if you care paying your debt voluntarily even if the one you borrowed is not talking about it anymore. Reputation cannot be bought, but its deeply earned and merited.
As much as I don't want to say the word, you've already said and compared it to them. For which, those that have been asking money and forgets about it need to do something about it.

Those that ignores their debts, I know that they're also believers in karma and someday if they did it to the others, how I wish that it won't happen to them as well.

So, if they don't want to happen that to them and their family, they shouldn't do it and become responsible.
