Everything in the media is just business no matter what they say about their companies and slogans. Because they are funded by those billionaires who want to shift the minds of the people into buying their products they are also profiting from these media and they are scratching their backs with each other. Thankfully, we have social media right now though they are not 100% accurate, we have some idea of what other countries are suffering unlike before we were totally unaware about it. Hopefully, they won't cut this source for us because it's really hard to rely on media now that we all know what they are really all about.

Can't really trust CEX exchanges especially if the owners are like Justine SUN what if they are all inside jobs , if you are cex user and your assets are all frozen you cant do anything about it, for now I only trust Binance among all CEX out there most transparent above them all, but always remember everything online is vulnerable to hacking so be very careful storing your assets in CEX for a long period of time.

I have already experienced such a scenario and honestly, you can't do anything about it when you want to get back your coins from their exchanges because they completely stop the flow of withdrawal and you don't have any other choice but to wait for them to open it back. You can search it on YouTube when Okex has closed their withdrawal in the past and while my XRP is inside their exchange, there are lots of FUDS going on around in the social media where you can read that they will never come back again which is frustrating because I have lots of money in their exchange.

The crazy part is that gambling addiction seems so harmless at first which for this business man may have been because your so blind to everything around you that all your focused on is trying to win big, double your money or trying to recover an earlier loss not knowing that everything around you is falling apart little by little it starts to affect your mood, your family and even your job and in this case here, your business. It’s a crazy world to live the gamblers life.

That's why they are advised not to engage in such hobbies if they cannot control their emotions and they quickly get hyped because once they get addicted to it, there will be no turning back from it unless they learn their lesson quickly. Most of them are not wise enough to calculate what will gonna happen in the future because they have no idea and they only see the fun and entertainment while playing. This also happened to lots of the people in our community and they all became like the worst people in the world because of the traits they acquired from playing almost every day, people lost trust in them because of their addictions.
564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is wiser? on: December 14, 2023, 11:23:42 AM
Most people only invest what they can afford because it's really hard to go 100% unless you are used to risking your wealth throughout your life and you are making your investment like gambling. I think others always choose the safest one we have pointed out above and to buy bitcoins with the money you don't have any use for is the right thing to do because after all, bitcoins are still volatile and anything could happen in the crypto market that could lead to your great regret of neverending happiness if you hit the jackpot investing at the right time with huge capital.
565  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers claim $2 million in Bitcoin after stealing Insomniac game data on: December 13, 2023, 03:40:22 PM
This is concerning and distressing. The gaming community has always been a close-knit and supportive one, and it's disconcerting to see such malicious activities affecting a reputable game developer. How can they effectively address this issue and recover from the attack? Do they need to succumb to the hacker’s demands? Cybersecurity remains an ongoing challenge, it's targeting the crypto industry, recently it was the exchangers and other DeFi platforms, and now this. They need to enhance the digital security measures.

They are just rushing towards releasing without any advance checking of their security because they just want to get some money from their users and players as soon as possible and the result is this kind of tragedy which leads to their game date being compromised. This may also lead to some confusion because those who are hostile to bitcoins are not stopping from throwing rocks against Bitcoin, this will be another opportunity for them to add their lies and propaganda to further slow the progress of the financial freedoms with bitcoins.

The good thing about Mark Magsayo is that he is under MP Promotions which takes good care of his career. Though not yet on the top 5 of each sanctioning bodies but somehow he will be there in a few fights due to the connections of Sean Gibbons. I do agree that he still needs a tune-up fight before fighting for a belt even though he was amazing in his last fight.

He won unforgettably and he finished his opponent with a deadly move that ended the fight. Looks like he is ready for another high-level opponent that could test his pro boxing skills or maybe a chance for a championship bout. Nevertheless, his next opponent is surely not gonna rush to fight him without any proper training. That knockout is a message for his next opponent that they are in need of new skills to counter that technique in order to win against Magsayo.
567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trend or long term projects? on: December 13, 2023, 02:45:07 PM
Depends on your skills because you need to have proper knowledge while you are investing in some trend coins because there are certainties that you need to rush to sell your coins because they reach their peak, and after that, they will gonna fall dramatically and it won't have any assurance if it's gonna recover in the future. As for other top altcoins that have been there for a while now, you can just simply choose some of them and carefully pick up the one that suits your budget well but this is not an easy task to do because you need to do your research before making moves for your investment.
568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: December 13, 2023, 02:02:51 PM

yes, there are many of such cases in gambling and these are definitely not good
playing with money is only good if you're playing with money you can afford to lose and if it doesn't affect your life in a really negative way.
what are the things people can try to learn and practice that will believe they not to fall victim of these kind of situations?

They should just simply look at the result of their actions both good sides and bad sides, if they see that there is more harm than benefits, they should just leave it and look for other good activities or hobbies that could help them progress safely. This is not the case for most people because they want some risk and they are rushing things without reflecting on the consequences. The result often leads to broken families and misery because of what they failed to understand before engaging in such actions.
569  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins during the bull run or just hodl? on: December 13, 2023, 01:36:28 PM
Frankly, I personally really like buying coins with low capitalization, such as meme coins, of course those which have good potential, such as shit and doge. When the bull run arrives and all the coins have experienced an increase, that's when I will release the coins I hold, because of the goal. I invest to make a profit, and I will not keep coins that have actually given me a profit, after I sell them I will buy them again when the price drops again, or at least buy other potential coins,

This is what I am doing too because it has more chance of getting a high amount of income but only risking a little amount of money but this is not possible without any knowledge because the list is overwhelming and we cannot make it just easy to choose every time we want to invest of those coins. I recommend others not to blindly follow others when it comes to investment but instead choose to make their investment unique and have some guts and courage to wait for it until it succeeds. As long as it has some honest developers and they have a plan to further update their platforms, they could easily increase their market.
570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 13, 2023, 12:21:55 PM
When it reaches the point where the husband and wife are actively gambling, it will have a huge negative effect on the family. Households no longer have balance, family finances begin to shrink and children begin to lack attention and affection from their parents. The gambling habit of a husband/wife is the beginning of the destruction of a family, their selfishness can cause their children to become depressed and their intelligence level begins to be hampered. They have to set restrictions on gambling simultaneously in order to maintain family finances and have more time with their children.

I have a friend who had a similar experience where everyone in his family was addicted to gambling, they were playing all day and didn't really care about the consequences of their actions and surely some of them got in trouble for the same reasons and now are in jails without getting any chance of parole. Because of gambling, they became greedy thieves and they are taking it a little bit too far by entering the houses of their victims and getting everything inside as much as possible just to fund their addictions, but drugs also have some contributions to their actions because they pair it with their addictions to gambling that eventually lead them to get in jail.
571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You must have a source on: December 13, 2023, 11:50:57 AM
This is right because you cannot risk like the others when they sell out all their belongings and houses just to convert it all and invest in bitcoins. they took it too far and decided to leave with the tent in the forest. this is not recommended for others that have no security in their country or they have no alternatives that could support their needs in terms of finances especially to buy their essential needs every day. One of the good things to do is not to rush and take it easy and also invest only what you can afford without hurting yourself with its consequences if the result of your investment in bitcoins has not shown any good result yet.
572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think about Solana tokens? Are they worth it? on: December 12, 2023, 02:27:18 PM
It depends on what they have to offer in the future because the other competitors are working towards innovations and developments that would easily make their coins successful in the future and also with that, the price will significantly increase depending on the situation of the market just like what we have witnessed today. You need to check every roadmap and see if they are really implementing what they are saying without any major delay because if they only talk about it without any implementations, then it is clearly a red flag.
573  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Staying away from scam. on: December 12, 2023, 01:43:25 PM
The sure thing is, that there will be lots of propaganda and some people who will gonna take advantage of the current hype, to stay away or prevent yourself from becoming a victim of their frauds and scams, you need to have enough knowledge to shield yourself from their sugar-coated worse and false promises. Yesterday I saw a post on social media where they asked for people who were victims of Ponzi Schemes in the past and you cannot believe what I saw, though it's only restricted in our country, the number of victims is huge and some of them even blame bitcoins for their loss without knowing that it's also a victim like them because it was used as a prop to lure them and make them believe that is a way to invest in bitcoins.
574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 12, 2023, 01:27:45 PM
I guess Coach Pop already said to Wemby that he must forget that ROTY title because winning a title for the team is way better than that title. TBH, I have trust in Coach Pop. I mean who doesn't? The coach has been in the league for decades, is the most winningest coach in NBA history, and trying to develop a generational player in Wembanyama.

Unlike any other position, Centers like him need to have more conditioning and just need to focus on improving himself rather than chasing the title because obviously, he is not like Lebron in his rookie year because he can take the risk without putting his physical health on the table. Unlike Wemby, he doesn't have that option, he needs to take it slowly but surely to scope and absorb all of that experience to be a dominating player by the next years of his NBA era.
575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: December 12, 2023, 12:13:09 PM
Not many people think like that, most when they lose actually want to play more. This usually happens when someone has started to become addicted to gambling but does not realize that they are addicted and has failed to control themselves not to gamble more. Indeed, if someone tried with big amount, let say it's $100 (this is quite a lot in some countries), on the first day he gambled and lost, he would probably think about not gambling again. But this is even if he has thoughts like what you said, and not guaranteed someone will stop forever after that lost.

Someone wants to risk it all at once just because he was lost on the first try and this is the most dangerous act in gambling because he could also lose the money that is not intended to be used for it and he won't have any means to recover it. he will be forced to take a loan to support his needs and he will be like other people who will become a prisoner to loans just because of one bad decision. Everyone should also remove greed and other bad traits that could lead them to make their lives miserable.
576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: December 12, 2023, 11:43:32 AM
This is something everyone should be able to notice by default. Most times the title and even the image of the video will show that it’s not their real opinion but that they are probably paid to post it. All those 1000x claims are crap because if they know that much, what are they waiting for? Why not invest all their life savings in it? So the next year they’ll drive a Lamborghini? Well, don’t make your crypto investments decision just because “he said” “she said”

They also give false information and often they describe the tokens way too much because they are just actually hyping everyone who follows them. Sometimes they put some baits on their captions without giving any consideration that it could lead to a major loss of someone who is fanatic about their opinions. That's why everyone is obliged when it comes to their investment in crypto because this is all about money and you can't just simply mess it up here especially when your capital is limited, you need to make sure that the coins you are buying have a high chance of success based on your gathered personal knowledge.
577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The risk and reward of having Bitcoin on: December 11, 2023, 04:06:03 PM
One of the most advantageous features of bitcoins is you can actually hide them from others without letting anyone know that you have them and you can walk on this earth by pretending that you are one the poorest people on Earth while in reality, you have thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins in your crypto wallet. And when something is not right concerning the security of your country or some natural disasters will happen, you can easily bring it out with you letting others know that you have that huge amount of money with you. This is where they failed to understand but we cannot blame each other since they were just ignorant and didn't know about its real importance.
578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney (9th of December) on: December 11, 2023, 03:22:13 PM

IMO, Haney will have second thoughts on whether he will fight Garcia as the latter is taller than him and heavy-handed and also quick which would pose problems for him. That lucky punch is one thing that Haney avoided and Garcia has that so I think he won't pick Garcia unless the price is right.

I don't think Garcia is ready for Haney because that could be an easy win for him all he needs to do is set up a good defense and make Garcia tired as usual. Garcia needs to at least excel in all efforts to improve his stamina and win some fights as easily as before because, with that kind of conditioning, he won't be surviving a kind of opponent like Haney because these guys are masters when it comes to 12 rounds non-stop actions inside the ring.
579  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What if we had only one language? on: December 11, 2023, 02:53:59 PM
I'm also curious about what could be the result of this because, with this kind of scenario, we could go wherever we want in the world and talk to the people in any country and easily learn about their cultures, traditions, and histories. But this is not as easy as we think because one of the tactics of the nations who want to conquer others is to wipe out their language just like what the Westerners doing to the Arabs. No one knows how to speak Native Arabic in their country except the teachers and their students. the common folks and the laymen are speaking Modern Arabic which has some words from French, English, etc. Therefore, you can see that Russia and China are preserving their language no matter how much English popularity has gained in the world.

UFC 296:  Countdown - Full Episode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqdG2xqdqk

And I think we're gonna witness a murder in the Thompson vs Rakhmonov match.  Rakhmonov is the real deal, I think he could even make it look easy vs Chimaev.

He needs to win this fight before he can get a chance to face Chimaev inside the cage because he already established a great record which only few have accomplished in UFC history. Rakhmonov is a rising star and surely after he gives the fans an outstanding performance in this upcoming fight, he will surely be a match for another interesting opponent like Chimaev since he is gaining more market value after that.
