I think it's a good idea to help others. If we are rich or not we can always try to help out people in need. Sure, being rich makes it a lot easier to help others. But money isn't always what people need. Sometimes just talking to a stranger can make a huge difference. I believe in paying it forward, if you do good, good will come back to you.
Easy to say that with a lot of money you can help other people but according to statistics, the wealthier you become the less you become a charitable person. I do agree, talking to someone can make their day but you don't know that and we have an ingrained mentality of minding our own business so I don't think that it will be that easy to do too.

They try their best but the problem at least in the Champions League games I have seen in Tv is that the cheering is linear.The real cheer has moments of joy when your team is playing well and moments of sadness where your team does not perform well.They need to change this to make the game attractive to watch during this pandemic time.
They don't have to change anything, they know how this thing works and only avid fans will be able to tell the difference in the cheering and they know that there is only a few people that have that keen insight so they don't have to spend a lot of time perfecting the fake crowd cheer.

Every human being tries to live their better life jackpots and lotteries are controlled by luck money must be doubled through its proper use no matter where it comes from money must be used properly you can spend money through investment or business. If you keep investing, the amount of your capital will double with the increase in price billing things don't always work they need to try to buy what they really need in life. Those who play lottery get a lot of money but in greed they go to play again and lose everything one man cannot win every time.
We can say that and it doesn't matter to those who win because that will not be the first thing that will come to their mind when they have that much money, splurging and satisfying your long time desires is going to take the wheel and make you spend a lot of money in that. I mean, most lottery players do not know the concept of investing and such, that is why they are relying on the lottery to make a fast money even though the chances to win is slim to none.

They need to hype the game for the television audience so the viewership goes up and they can earn money, you don't want to be sitting on your home cheering for your team alone, the sound reinforces the idea that you are not alone in the cheering of your team which is a good psychological trick to make people stay on the program, imagine a sitcom that you are the only one laughing, I guess you could say that it is a little boring.
1745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is the right time to gamble on football. on: March 16, 2021, 05:44:24 AM
For me the right time to gamble on football is when you know the basics of the game because AFAIK, red cards can do something in the bet. You also have to know the teams that are playing because it is crucial to know which teams to bet on depending on their performance. We also have to remember that we have the money to spare to bet on this things because there might be some things that you need to prioritize before your gambling habits.

I agree with this, that's exactly what we have to feel, don't blame others instead blame ourselves if we make mistakes in gambling. Fate is based on our action, we have to be responsible so we can ensure we will not lose a lot of money in gambling, or money that is not intended in gambling.

Our fate might not be good in gambling but we can always prevent that by being responsible all the time.
Fate by definition is the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power. So saying that fate is base on our action is not true because we don't have control over it as the definition says so, I do agree with you about blaming ourselves for our actions because I have heard of the excuses which do not take responsibility and I am tired of hearing that.
1747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: March 15, 2021, 12:09:57 PM
I would lean on lack of control instead of fate because people who blames the things we can't see is not a sign of a responsible human being, I mean if it were fate, then that means that there was no other way for you to stop gambling because your actions were already set and you can't do anything about it which is pretty shitty reason for you to become an addict. Imagine hearing a gambling addict or any addict for that matter, "It's fate that I can't stop what I'm doing", you would think that they are going crazy. This is the same as luck, there is no luck in gambling, it was all just probability and chances, you just happen to be in the right place.

If one person is caught because of corruption, all people inside the team would be investigated by the police, and only people involved in the corruption will get investigated further. For innocent people, they will not get sanctioned because they are not involved in that corruption to continue their careers. But that will not happen to people involved in corruption and will get to jail for a long time. The team will not have a chance to grow if their team has corruption cases because that can reduce people's trust in that team.
That would be the best case for the team, get everyone in line and have them each investigated as to who participated in the scheme. People that are involved in this kind of scandal often get only a slap of the wrist for punishment, maybe a ban for a year or two but there isn't anyone that is going to jail, this businesses will negotiate for the player to not be jailed as they can still play and they can still be a pawn. Corruption runs deep in sports, and if it wasn't then a lot of dopers and throwers have been jailed.

Can you provide the link of the "Nitrogen Sports" that you are playing in OP? You might be playing in a scam website and they are really good clones of the website if you don't know their real website name. It is a pretty strange for a website to ask for some sort of deposit before you even want to gamble, shouldn't there be some bonuses for new players? I wouldn't risk giving what they are asking OP, that is a lot of money.
1750  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there subject to study Cryptocurrency ? on: March 15, 2021, 10:04:58 AM
There is no other degree about cryptocurrency except YouTube videos, many effective tutorials, and many other sources from the internet. You can gather your knowledge by scrolling about that and can increase your experience though working practically in this field.
For now we have to rely on this one but maybe someday we can see a major that is focused on cryptocurrency but right now, we lack the resources to provide an efficient teaching about cryptocurrency. Based on my experience in college, I think that the closest there is to cryptocurrency related topics is in the Business and Economics based courses, I might be wrong but you can check it out.
1751  Economy / Economics / Re: I think I know who satoshi really is Am I Crazy? He He.... on: March 15, 2021, 09:27:56 AM
I always find it hilarious when people try to predict who Satoshi is without any sort of proof or evidence to back up their wild claims. Op seems to be craving attention through this thread. The title itself is hilarious.

I don't believe Satoshi is dead. I believe that whoever Satoshi is clearly doesn't crave popularity due to which I would rule out all celebrities like Jobs, Gates etc.
Not believing that satoshi is dead is in some way predicting but you are right about this post being hilarious, if it was Steve Jobs that was behind the identity of satoshi, I think that we should've known about it by now because dead people can't keep secrets forever. And to answer OP about him/her being crazy, I think that you are clearly one but you don't deserve to be in a loony bin, just your typical "your crazy because what you are saying is ridiculous" type of crazy.
1752  Economy / Economics / Re: Trader buys $36 million of copper and gets painted rocks instead on: March 15, 2021, 08:45:40 AM
This could be a really good heist film idea to be honest, just change some nooks and crannies and you can get a good heist film out of this incident. It is pretty bad that the thieves got away with it but I don't think that it will be for far too long because $36 million worth of copper is not something you can easily clean so you can sell it without a hitch, and not to mention that they don't have a lot of ways to hide this kind of thing because any smelting process involving this is going to raise some flags.

As long as you are dealing solely with cryptocurrency, there is no problem. But the issue is that you need to convert your holdings to fiat cash at some point of time. If you do that through online banking, then the government can easily track you. One option is to deal with physical cash. There are a few traders in P2P platforms who do that. But then, it can be quite risky to deal using physical cash with unknown people.
Even if the government do track your transactions with your bank, I think that there should be some kind of amount that you are going to reach before you can get flagged so if most transactions that you have are around the 3 digit in USD, I don't think that it won't raise some flags. I do agree P2P is the best but I think that the safety issue of dealing with stranger can be alleviated if you have some companion in the transaction and you do the transaction in a public place.

But what exactly do you own? So I get that the buyer owns a token with a unique digital signature, say the public key is:

4985POSDIEFUA8OW3FJUWOI8FJWAOWAO398FJ8OIKL

But what does that have to do with Beeple's 5000-image artwork? Is the file which is hundreds of megabytes ALSO stored in the blockchain? What is the relationship between the unique digital token and the artwork?
Why do you ask these question in the first place? Do you plan to buy the artwork and negotiate it at lower prices by reasoning that you don't own anything physically. The answer to your question is simple, owning the NFT is like basically owning a website, you know that you can't hold it physically but you know that you are the owner of it, and you mentioned that there is a token as proof, isn't that enough proof that they own something?

Tax them more or not, which is a separate topic in itself, isn't really going to change their monopolistic powers. What will? The government either limits their monopolistic powers(how? I don't know, not going to say I'm for this), or other companies will create better products that could potentially create competition.
The government can actually do a lot to break down this monopolistic power, they just don't care because there are chosen individuals on the seat that benefits from this monopolies or in other words are supported by these big tech companies, creating a better product doesn't necessarily mean that that company is going to be challenged because they can sabotage and they can overpower them when it comes to public relations considering that the competition is a fairly small company.
1756  Economy / Economics / Re: Tech companies no longer friends (II) Google & Microsoft on: March 15, 2021, 05:59:23 AM
As they should, because how do you break monopolistic platforms of such huge companies besides creating better products and compete against them? In the first place, these tech companies are never friends. They only collaborate whenever they see fit and take advantage off each other. Would they help other companies if it doesn't benefit them one way or another? Hell no. These companies are businesses, and the main goal of most if not all business is, well— make money!
We need more than just them being in competition with each other, they need to be taxed a lot and there should be no way that they are going to write it off no matter what, we have to hit their money because they take all of it and they do not give back to community, what we need is another kind of Teddy Roosevelt type of President that breaks off monopolies but this time big tech companies.
1757  Economy / Economics / Re: $69 Million Beeple Art Buyer Revealed as NFT on: March 14, 2021, 07:10:44 AM
The buyers really a whale, i cant count how much the money 69$ million is.

If he can re-sell it for $1 billion, i will absolutely goin crazy. Even its half of it, like 500$ million, its hard to believe.
They have a lot of money and most people that has a lot of money needs something to spend it on, there is a reason why there are art galleries that sell paintings for millions. Maybe in the near future, that can be a possibility but I don't think that there are going to be a lot of buyers at that price point.
1758  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Art record! 69M for a Beeple on: March 14, 2021, 06:27:25 AM
What do you actually "own" here? Cuz it's not a digital image, which can be replicated infinitely and anyone can access or view. What you own is some signature in a blockchain and a bunch of people who agree that has some special properties that give it value. However, if you don't have property rights over the digital image, you don't own it. It's absurd people believe you could own something that is infinitely replicable.
NFTs have a unique signature in them so there isn't a possibility of replicating it. If you think that it is replicable then why don't you do it? I mean you have a strong adverb there to support your claim. Let's just accept the fact that it isn't our money and the art was worth that much, it's not our money so why do we have to feel regret about it? You think that it is absurd but here we are in a world where Jackson Pollock painting can fetch you millions, you don't understand how rich people think.
1759  Economy / Economics / Re: A Platform for Small-Scale Freelancing: Microlancer on: March 14, 2021, 05:40:54 AM
I have tried to get income from a job like this but on other freelance websites, what I get is very small even if I have been working on it for more than one month it hasn't met the minimum withdrawal so I chose to leave it. Maybe it would be better if you learn a skill that you can offer later on a freelance website and usually a job with certain skills earns better than just working on a microtask which might end up making you despair because it is difficult to even meet the minimum withdrawal even though have done a lot of tasks.
Freelancing websites typically exploit the freelancing industry, they will pay less money because they know that freelancers are going to gobble it up no matter what. I did try some of them but the same as @Strongkored, the earned amount is not equal to the effort that I have put into it.
1760  Economy / Economics / Re: What We Should Learn From Elon Musk Influence on: March 13, 2021, 09:33:35 AM
What I have learned from Elon's influence is that I should follow the crowd because what Elon is going to preach is definitely going to go up, this is an observe phenomenon for a long time and I think that with the current population being fanatics of celebrities, I think that that phenomenon is more evident more than ever. So next time, Elon says that you should buy Doge or Bitcoin or any coin for that matter, buy it even though by the time the tweet was posted, the prices were already climbing, you can still get some money out of it because a hype won't die that easy.
