To be honest Banks have liabilities to other bigger banks and instutions If you own funds in bank it's not yours
In the future the new money system should be that at least some amount what you have in bank account for example up to 30k $ you can transfer into your private self custody wallet, i heard that's the plan and yes its needed.
Nowdays i feel like my bank account balance is just numbers and i have no control over it the true wealth i have is cash in my pocket or wallet and the cryptocurrency.
Also Banks hold extra liabilities to other financial instutions and bigger banks and you might have mortgage or car loan with your bank you might think they own it but not If your bank have problems than you might lose your home even you pay mortgage for your home.
The thing is that banks and other debit credit instutions don't expose to customers openly info about how much leverage or risk they have and liabilities what they need to pay to other financial instutions If not they must liquitate their assets.
In times like this you only want to deal with bigger banks and credit /debit instutions.
But i feel that crypto and cash are real money the bank balance on my bank account i feel little sceptical yes banks are safe but still i need that feeling that at least some of my funds are under my own control.

Although,banks holds several security measures that'll manage risks as theft and robbery,saving money in the bank Is also not a good decision,as the bank is not a reliable place to keep and protect your money.

However,individually,it would also be safer to have other opinions and options for your money as well.Whether its to invest in stocks,real estates,or consider investing in cryptocurrency.
Investing into bitcoin will help it develop and build an even more secure financial future for yourself.

People's financial situation is not always the same as we have enough money now but in the future we may not have enough money to spend. Now we have enough money so now I will go out of my way to spend money as I want for no reason then later when I don't have enough to spend but no one else will give me money to spend. It is a fact that as long as you have money and as long as you spend money behind others people will speak for you and people will be with you but if one day you want to walk with them without spending money then you will find no one to walk with. Since money brings people closer and money drives people away, money should be given the most importance. 

The amount of money that we are earning now is divided into several parts and the remaining money is the money but if we want we can invest or save so that if there is a financial crisis in the future but this saved money will support us well. 

We must be careful about money, if you are careful about money then there is no problem if people call you stingy because some people's job is to say bad things about others.

Most importantly,its adviced or its better to adhere to policies that'll really benefits ones financial lifestyles and growth.Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving”...You'll see that every postive approach towards learning and abiding to financial   instructions like this makes life easy and comfortable too.

Having a clear and realistic attempt towards one's goals,and having a plan to achieve those goals within the expected period of time is indeed worth going for.Supposedly,having a goal/plan to improve your financial status,and then efforts put together to achieve successful habit's towards your aim is also another capacity in addition to actualize and establish new saving habits.

Honestly,the BRICS is becoming more and more stronger with their component's.They're strongly forming into a huge and large alliance,they're alliance is threatening and will begin to frighten other economic activities.As it is right now,it's very difficult to determine  or predict what the BRICS are up to.
This is ultimately a big win for China because they seem to be fighting for a strong voice in today's world affairs.The BRICS is generally increasing in population and politically and economically all together.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ? on: May 05, 2024, 06:46:12 PM
I keep the bitcoin investing to myself so I can't say for sure that I've convinced or successfully converted someone to invest into bitcoin, I'd love the idea that I'll convince someone to invest in bitcoin though but the only caveat is that they're the ones that will come to me and not the other way around, I don't want to force them to learn something that they only have a vague interest in and we've talked to pass the time, I don't like to be blamed for something because I've forced them into it, that's not really my style.

Not yet exactly,I keep investing suggestions to myself so I can be safe for later and the future.I haven't really introduced anyone to investing in bitcoin,incase something goes wrong,I wouldn't be accused for luring someone into fraud.It could actually result because of one's greed,ignorance and unintelligent approach.
I haven't really succeeded in convincing someone to invest in bitcoin all along,it's supposed to be a suggestion or serve as an advice,but the bigger role is to come from the other person;the positive response,and efforts to truly a experience good outcome from the investment choice.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: May 02, 2024, 12:47:23 PM
Wow congratulations that's nice to here. This kind of stuff love seeing using your money won gambling wisely most people will let greed get the best of them, they will be finding more which will make them gamble with the cash they win from the previous gambling and end up losing all their funds. Is good to see the things you have use your gambling cash to achieved to know that yah gambling is not meaningless.


Aside having income and your a responsible gambler or not it's best to use your winnings properly on something that's useful ,with this now I remembered the first win I got,I was still in the tertiary instituon what I did was to get lots of foodstuffs and textbooks to aid my learning effectively.i know sometimes you might be thinking of wanting to chill out and have a great time but here your decisions after a big win matters a lot and goes a long way in setting your pace in the future.
So most cases of such big wins the money should be spent wisely and responsibly I attest to that.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: May 02, 2024, 12:39:37 PM
Hey house someone need a few clips here, don't know if a post of this exact nature has been discussed though.

In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.

  I think it seems like it was just discussed here in the gambling section, like you are talking about here. It is difficult to have both parents addicted to gambling. And it is impossible that their children do not see that. Except that it depends on the age of their child, who has a broad mind about gambling.

  Even if one of them quits, it will be difficult for him to do that 100%, and of course he still sees that his wife will gamble. Maybe it would be better if they both stopped gambling; that would be better so they wouldn't be tempted to gamble.



Mmmm  for me I think the wife should stop gambling because she has a lot task to handle as being focused in moulding the kids, mostly the Man don't have much time to stay at home doing such except when he wants to help out but finding both of them doing same thing isn't going to help the kids grow at balance cause they might grow up doing same thing they have watched their parents do.

The wife should stop,I don't see it as bad for a woman to gamble but in a responsible manner but mind you two wrongs can't make a right,one must advice the other,so it's better either of them stops tho.
But again why will both parents be gambling at the same time,are they going through financial crisis that they feel Gambling will sort it out or what.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You Submit KYC Before You Win Big on: May 02, 2024, 12:02:54 PM
That is how gambling sites are. Most of them will not demand for KYC from you as long as you are losing, but if you win and want to withdraw some money, they will go through your account and tell you to do necessary things before you can withdraw and requesting for your identity through KYC can be among the requirements.

My topics originates from the comment of this user above in this thread where the OP is writing to seek about KYC stuff. The link to it will be at the end of the topic.

I know casinos do this. I have experienced it too. It is also in their T&C. My question for casino lovers is that instead of waiting until we win big and are asked to submit KYC documents, will you do it before the casino management or administrator request of it? Is there anyone who has gone ahead to fill out and submit their KYC on their account or by asking their customer support for it way before they even start make a request.

Link to original post described in the OP - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5494948.0






I believe the first criteria that involves you having access to money or funds is doing the necessary by filling the KYC documents or verification but in a situation that it wasn't requested you should hold on  and follow the instructions.
But I know in some cases you wouldn't be needing that tho but yes you'll have to summit your KYC documents before you win big because it guarantees your access to withdrawals.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An aggressive gambler irrelevantly easing his Irresponsible gambling manner. on: May 02, 2024, 11:51:52 AM
I have heard lots of jokes about this, like people planning on changing their betting pattern.
Going from football to boxing, just so you get some pain for letting them lose money, and it's funny.
 
It's a game; one can lose or win, but these people do not want anything other than winning. Sometimes it's a way for them to console themselves after the loss. This also happened in football; despite the love they have for you, you're the cost of their loss. For that day, you automatically become a careless baller or keeper. I see no reason for being aggressive about not winning, and the statement isn't called for. 

It's really funny as it may seem but the gambler is the big looser here, probably when the normal pattern don't favours them they change the  game and it's just the same or even worse so they end up being aggressive to themselves for not winning.
They don't change the game to another cause they want to console themselves from the loss,they just want to try another and see how it unfolds and then he goes on to boxing and loses alot them you hit it on my your supporting teem that lose that it's a good one he got a thorough beating for loosing just to ease your regrets...
It doesn't make sense and this is so hilarious.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: May 02, 2024, 11:42:52 AM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.


A deep thoughts on this,but I see it that owners of betting companies do place bets too and yes in their own platforms but they don't show it,but rather they prefer doing it at a convenient space which is their office but have also seen other bet companies owners that do it visible too to both their staffs and clients,they do it to show they are also in the game together and to make their customers be at peace and comfortable placing bets.

Cause I use to visit this particular bet shop with my guys,so one day a quarrelling fight came with a guy that loosed,he said everytime he keeps loosing his money that where's your Boss,he keeps eating out money whereas he doesn't bets,so suddenly the owner of the place came out and explained to the man probably gis strategies are not working well for him,so he stood in the line to place bets and let's them watch him to prove to the guy that he loses money too.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: May 02, 2024, 11:31:18 AM
Greetings everyone and happy new year all!

Okay, today I was actually out for a little business and it happens that I almost spent all my time wasted without me even having a smooth deal, but along the line I have few games that I have placed a bet and was wanting to view my games from my phone since gambling is now mobile, what I meant by mobile is that you can access your account at any place provided that you have an internet connectivity you will login to monitor your matches.

So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?

On a lighter note, I just smile and asked him if there is anything wrong while gambling or while monitoring my games and he said nothing but just that few people he knew that are gambling almost turned useless.

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Let's discuss amicably


Well it's just like trying to make certain decisions in life,we all know that the society had a huge effect on us in the sense that when we do good and bad there must be some group of people that will usually reckon you for what you've done and it's not like they hate or something but are trying to look out for the good in us but in the other hand their are some that don't mind what you do or experience but with this now it has a way to clearly prove to us that what this people says matters or not.

But  in the aspect of gambling people's opinions matters most times I would say probably if your an addicted gamblers ,but if you're a responsible gambler it doesn't change a fact about you to be bothered about what  people say.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you cashout or wait for the game to conclude? on: May 02, 2024, 10:57:10 AM
The cash out amount is encouraging and the gambler must have made profit, that is why there is no need to be greedy, and allow the game to end, because just one game can cut this slip.

I have seen a lot of people that got greedy and lost the bet and also I have also seen someone that didn't cash out and won the bet. Currently, he is using the wins from that game to build his house. Personally, cash out is my best option on this. This is because I will get mad at myself if I don't cash out and end up losing. I


This is hilarious, exactly I would do same too if I didn't cash out, imagine seeing your wins and then your deciding to wait till the games finishes,what if it didn't turn out to your expectations and then you loose the bets and also the money.

Sometimes I use to watch some funny skits where the person ask questions and then people responds,if you get a question correct your given some said amount and then you're asked another probably you failed the money won would be taken away from you and you end up being a looser entirely but rather once you answer and gets it right it's advisable to go with the money instead of wanting to double it or something..

This is simple life mathics that a lot should understand and adhere to
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cash out or let it ride? on: May 02, 2024, 10:41:09 AM
 How would you let such huge sum ride,I'll better cash out than let it ride,it's just like having a bigger opportunity to win and you decide to walk away from it and let it be.who does that this is $1500.
Letting it ride will only make you loose all this money got,if you don't want to cash out why then coming this far
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A lot of gambling sites are scams ! on: May 02, 2024, 10:32:05 AM
You can find online crypto casinos in the sig and avatar of many reputable users in this forum, you can try out the one in my sig and avatar, if it meets your needs; but take note that you must do your own research even when someone recommends a service to you.
Do not rely on signature and avatar campaign, it has nothing to do with the reputation of the gambling sites because it is just marketing tool.
You might be trapped if you choose a casino just because you see their signature in this forum.
Most casinos here who have signature campaign are indeed reputable enough but dont forget that there might be a scammy site that try to expose their existency in this forum (e.g 1xbit).




Yes alot of gambling sites are scam but your statement here does it literally mean being into a signature campaigns is destructive?? I really want to get it straight concerning you saying one shouldn't rely on signature campaigns,does it really have an effect on the gambling sites and why do you think one should not rely on them.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: May 02, 2024, 10:18:14 AM
Why should I not be comfortable if she is gambling responsibly. But I will prefer she should do it online instead of offline using betting agent. Because as I saw that image, that is a betting agent shop and I will not like to see my mother there. This is because in my country, only young guys are common in such a place and that would be an embarrassment for my mother and me. But if it is online that she is doing it, I will not be worried at all if she is gambling responsibly.


Your right doing it online makes it more comfortable and secured so as to avoid embarrassment and insults from people,for me I would be very uncomfortable and worried seeing my mum go to such betting shops to place bets.

The thing is this elderly woman have been into the betting/gambling game and that very day I think she was having a positive mindset that the games would put on a big win,so as it didn't turn out that way,that's the reason it showed on the other part of the picture that she was frustrated and confused but nevertheless she would have use her phone or probably ask her son if she has to play for her instead of stressing herself going to the bet shop.
This shows a true sign of she being addicted to it so the outcome guaranteed that and aher facials expression,I wouldn't be happy seeing my mum or any elderly woman out there doing this just like this woman it will be a big slap to my face.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will you do if you find yourself in a similar situation like this? on: May 01, 2024, 04:33:59 PM
Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?
I will be ashamed of myself and look for a means to pay back the funds to my parents. For me to be able to make up for my mistakes and win their trust back, I must quit gambling for a while, in order for me to be able to overcome my addiction. This is because it is only an addicted gambler that cannot be entrusted with money, because he will end up using it for gamble since he cannot control his gambling activities and would always want to chase his losses all the time.

If I quit gamble and overcome my addiction, I can look for so many ways so show them that I am now responsible and can be trusted upon with funds, but it would be hard for them to believe you, only if it was very easy for you to make the repayment in a short period of time, when his father noticed the money is no longer in his son's account. If it was very hard to pay back or was not paid back, you have lost their trust in you for life.



Seeing myself in such situations will be like a guilts and shame that will keep lingering till God knows when,but it's a very bad idea to ever take or use money put in your hands for gambling,sport betting or whatsoever needs it may be, probably it's best to even ask of them if they refuse or not you know what next to do but not taking laws into your hands by using all of it.
And I don't think I can forgive myself doing that and i will not earn the trust they have for me again.

Tho there was similar issues of sort but the money didn't go for gambling but I regretted ever trying that cause the results was not fruitful

United Arab Emirates leads the Middle East in crypto adoption, with 72% of local users investing in Bitcoin

All of a sudden,the middle east has emerged top for adopting cryptocurrency,information reaching us recorded that countries in the middle east,bitcoin traders daily increased and there's higher chances of having more bitcoin users to a large extent without altering new inventions.
Users of bitcoin in the middle east can still acquire bitcoin while also steadily gaining global influence in the crypto space.Its always a good to hear and see bitcoin constantly improving in some countries;always knowing that bitcoin will eventually continue rising along side offering genuine and lasting advantages.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No risk no gain on: April 30, 2024, 03:21:55 AM
Regrets are there because you've learned. Learnings won't mean anything if you won't reflect and apply it. You saw how big the potential is for Bitcoin's market value; are you investing now? It is easy to tell other people to invest but if we don't have the courage to do so, simply because we saw the price on a decline at the moment, then what's the point? Take the risk if you want to achieve something or gain profit. If you know how to properly manage the risk then at least loss won't hurt that much. Taking the risk is different from being reckless, keep this in mind. It is Bitcoin we are talking about and we all know how capable this digital currency is, to be bigger in the future. Erase the idea of easy money scheme 'coz there's no such thing.
If you invest your 100% of what would have been your half of the capital, you'll get the exact sameprodit as if you both had invested and you shared the profit. You could have easily bought with the amount you had and held for as long as you would have planned to.

Secondly you never compel someone else to invest in anything. You're putting unnecessary risk on yourself as you'll take the blame if that investment goes south. Only give them information that can help them make up their mind on their own.

Thirdly, you still have the opportunity to take a risk now. Bitcoin still has a way to go in this bull run.
Waiting for a lower market value could still be considered. People are just being hasty of the market price simply because halving took place and yet no significant changes could be seen other than the temporary dump.

Yes mate,most of all,is serves as an encouragement to all crypto users and individuals at large.If you don't enjoy trying new things,you'll end up regretting.It's always important to always be open to new opportunities and ideas in as much the uncertainties of life cannot be known and predicted.Success is handy but its not easy at all.It takes information/education/awareness+courage+actions=POSITIVE RESULTS...in other words,no efforts,no success.

Binance entered a multi-year partnership with Ronaldo in mid-2022 to promote a series of his own nonfungible tokens (NFT), of which he has at least three collections tied to Binance.
Binance ain't trying to tarnish Ronaldo's image,ronaldo is definitely serving and representing as a soccer legend with mastery of influence and experience with an utmost joy and enthusiasm.

Binance wants to promote the circulation,adoption and awareness of cryptocurrencies around the world.Ronaldo seems to be the perfect image for this role but it seems Ronaldo's role have a significant effect due to his worldwide recognition and unshakable iconic efforts.

Governments only help in to stabilize markets, regulate transactions, provide institutional frameworks, and enforce rules around contract law and property rights.They're only responsible for enacting policies concerning monetary and fiscal policy which I'm turn renders an amazing impact to the market in general.

They regulate the activities that should build and maintain a strong financial system for the country;the government is expected to play certain roles towards the market by ensuring balance and long-lasting impacts on companies,industries,and markets at large.

Sounds more like a rephrase of our everyday discussion in the board. It's absolutely true that coping in an inflated nation requires a renewed mindset, perhaps investing in bitcoin is another hedge to inflation as the volatility of bitcoin is also a means of making profit.

For someone who is capable of understanding the crypto space it's more advisable to invest early as the world economic shows no sign of betterment over the years. I believe investing bitcoin, real estate and other stuffs like stock is a practical way to help ones life in situations like this.

At the end the theme of the post is "invest in bitcoin" in order to be above the economical crisis in the world.

Actually,and asides bitcoin there are  several other ways to ensure and maintain a healthy financial life or experience.The truth is that at every given time,someone's income reduces compared to the cost of living in particular.The cost of living is obviously not corresponding with one's finances and income.
The chances  of you living well and trying to ensure you meet unexpected events has been terminated by some economical factors which  doesn't seem to Change anytime soon.
