In fact, you have brought up a very important point about tax dodging and corruption among high-level government officials. Like a rigged poker game where the manager decides who wins, these people who don't pay their taxes are making sure that they never lose. They lie about the numbers and use their ties to get away from the law. That's crazy

By doing this, they go against the whole point of government. Those at the top should be good models of honesty, not people who use system flaws to get ahead. Punishments should be swift and harsh; being easy on people sends the wrong message. They should be taken off the table and made illegal for good, just like a bettor who counts cards

Still, let's not paint everyone with the same brush because some people are good. But I get it; why play the game if the house is rigged?
Yes, they lie about the numbers easily, especially since they have hired someone who is an expert in changing the numbers that should be written on their tax reports into numbers that have been reduced so that they don't have to pay high taxes. However, citizens who are honest in their tax reporting must pay taxes as stated in the report.

They have not been able to be a good role model of honesty even at any time as long as there is still a desire to have a lot of money from various sources but don't want to spend a lot of taxes. They must be charged by law and punished very severely because they have harmed the country, especially the small people who have to bear the heavy burden. And yes, they should be kicked out of office and not allowed to pursue a career in politics forever or be sentenced to life in prison. But is anyone able to do it?
Fixing the corruption in the governments and actually making the taxes go exactly where it should would make the world a better place to begin with. If you add in tens of billions of dollars from the rich people as well on top of that, it would just make sure that the whole world is doing great.

If only every nation was ruled by a president that made sure that there is no corruption at all, and every single dollar is accounted for from the taxes and we actually did get it back fairly, then we would all be doing fine. Taxing is not really the issue, it's the corruption. And I bet that in any nation gambling is legal, we have licenses distributed to the ones who bribe the politicians the most as well without a doubt.

I think the fact that Greenwood issue happened when he was at United and then Anthony thing happened right afterwards is the real reason why there is a drop. I mean Anthony is not the only one being charged now, the girl is saying that United doctors helped her the second time it happened, first was in brazil, but the second incident happened at Manchester and she got help from United doctors.

That sounds like she is just after money and it's a total lie, nobody beats their girlfriend and then takes them to the club doctors, that's not going to be true at all. But, even assuming that it would be true ended up resulting with a big drop. Being in a lawsuit drops the value of your company and will keep so until it's fixed.

Definitely don't recommend selling now. It's bear market and it's not the best to sell the crypto. Wait a couple of month and see how the price will go up
that's right, because right now the market is experiencing a bear market, so this is the right time to buy and not for sell, therefore I also don't recommend selling XRP at this time, instead I suggest buying more XRP and holding it until the bull market is coming, so by investing in XRP at this time, so we will definitely get a lot of profit when the bull run comes.
of course, when we need to accumulate when the market is bullying already?
the perfect time is today , buy and buy more as the price stays at 50 cents per coin because  when the bull comes , there are some speculation that this can hit even 5 dollars or more.
but of course try to limit your expectations.
That is definitely true, we should keep on investing as much as possible and we should be making as much profit as we possibly could. That would be the smart choice in most cases and we should be making some profit with it.

I know that life is not that simple and we should not really end up with a different approach, but as long as we can do it, that should be fine. I know that life is not that simple and we know that it is going to be doing fine eventually but that doesn't mean that we are going to profit from XRP though. Like yeah you should be buying up bitcoin or ethereum like that, exactly how you explained it, but not XRP because that is one that should be avoided at all cost due to the owners being a scammer.

Dortmund's performance at the start of this season, did not differ much from the previous season. Last season, Dortmund had problems with Sabastien Haller who had to sit out because of his illness. this season, Dortmund lost Bellingham. it's just that, this season the striker did not show his best performance. In three matches, Sabastien Haller was unable to score a single goal. maybe that's why Dortmund brought in Nicklas Fullkrug as an option prepared by Edin Terzic. although Dortmund have yet to experience defeat, their performance has not been as expected. in the match later, Dortmund will hand to the Freiburg headquarters.  not an easy match for Dortmund.

On the contrary, previously Freiburg fell to Stuttgart with a landslide score, but Christien Streich will make the most of it when hosting Dortmund in the match later. well, although Dormund has the upper hand based on the available odds. I'm pretty sure, this match will take place with a tough fight. This match will not be easy for both teams, I suspect the match will end in a draw. but because this match still gives time to the two coaches, let's at least wait for what the two teams will plan.
Dortmund definitely doesn't spend NEARLY enough. They sell players for a lot of money, and then spend like half of that money instead, which makes no sense. They are like 100+ million in profit for the past 3 years total, and that is not good, teams should be spending money not making money.

When you have that much money then saying "we just didn't want to pay players who do not worth it", then the simplest question is, couldn't you find a single player who was worth it? Because if they didn't, that's also an issue and shouldn't be done. I think it should be important to remember that you are going to end up with a result that would be terrible, nobody should be doing that at all, it wouldn't really benefit you.
765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 07, 2023, 05:31:40 PM
Girona's performance this season has surprised me. This team is now at the second place in the points table . We don't usually think of Girona as a strong team.  And in the last season too, the team finished tenth in the table. However girona played very well in the first four matches. Despite drawing the first match, Girona won the next three matches. Girona picked up points against the likes of getafe, Real sociedad and sevilla . These opponents are not too weak. Girona's defense is very strong.  In these four matches they have scored 7 goals, but conceded only two goals. Girona's performance is very stable due to their strong defense. My guess is that Girona will stay in the top four of the table for quite some time.
Yes, that was a great start for Girona and of course, that result will keep Girona in the top four at least for the next few weeks. What's more, in the next match Girona will play away but only against promoted team Granada. So yea, then surely Girona will still be able to guarantee three points in the next away match against Granada. Of course, it will be interesting to see Girona abilities, to what extent Girona will be able to stay in the top four. Because basically Girona is just a mediocre team, and in consideration also Girona will not be able to last long in the top four, but who knows.
Maybe Girona will stay there for a few more weeks, but that is not going to be the case after a while. I bet that they are not going to be good enough on the long run and we are going to end up seeing them not do that much. I think it's quite important to make sure that we are not doing anything that is profitable, and the reality is that we are talking about something that will benefit us.

The reality is that we will do something that will make sure that it is not doing that weirdly and it should be helpful for them if they keep getting more defensive. Girona already did some fine games so far, but that is not something they can keep up for 30 more games, so defensive would be the solution to keep it going for them.
766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 06, 2023, 07:45:49 PM
Yannick Carrasco could have much better options than playing for the Saudis. This 30-year-old palyer had one year left on his contract with Atletico Madrid and he asked the team to let him go.
Atletico Madrid earned 15 million from this deal which is a good amount of money for a palyer like Yannick Carrasco.
He signed a three-year contract with Al Shabab.
There was no option for him to make this much money anywhere else. That is the difference, the lower level teams do not bother with this, they could even make a lot of money with it, but the big clubs should learn their lesson from this. All those huge name clubs ended up just overspending than the smaller clubs and that's how they stayed better, just using money.

If you give me 2 billion dollars to spend right now, I could build a team that could rival la liga or even maybe premier league whereas smaller clubs didn't had that chance. Now those big clubs are tasting their own medicine, some other clubs are overspending them to get these players and that's how they are growing and getting all these players to their club.
767  Economy / Speculation / Re: How passionate are you buying Bitcoin now? on: September 06, 2023, 07:08:46 PM
Not only about the lowest point which is difficult to know in Bitcoin, but for the highest point it is also not easy for many people to know because the price increase to reach the next ATH on Bitcoin is also not known at what range it will stop. For example, next year Bitcoin could be in the range of $70K to $80K, this is also the ATH with the highest point of all time in Bitcoin.
The fact that we are near 25k is a great way to explain this, I mean it could go four times bigger and reach 100k when the ATH happens during the bull run, and people are still not investing into it. I think it could go even more than that, it could reach to 150k as well which wouldn't be unlikely, that is about twice as the last ATH and that is normal for it to reach those levels, that would be nearly x6 times the amount we have right now.

Getting only just 10k dollars into bitcoin now, could lead you to have 60k dollars by the end of the bull run, and that only requires you to hold it for 1.5 years to 2 years that's it. Then you can do anything you want with that money to make it a sustainable income instead of just savings.
768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: September 06, 2023, 06:08:16 PM
To be honest, I'm kinda waiting for a movie or series to be made of the current American political system, house of cards was good, but we need a newer version of it.

It's all like a show these days. Any time I hear an American politician from back in the days it feels like another country completely.

For example, listen to the John F. Kennedy Moon Speech and compare that to a modern day speech.
I mean the world has evolved as well, that is the main reason. The guy who is 70 years old today, was only 40 years old when Bill Cliton was the president, so it is not like we are living the same period, sure Bill Clinton is still younger than Biden and Trump, but the requirements to get the vote has changed. Think about how many new voters we have now, and how many of the voters in the 90's has unfortunately passed away since.

The culture evolves, and in order to get votes, politicians started to be more and more extreme. You either have to be a ring wing hate everything and do what you tell people to not do type of racist, or you have to be pronoun nazi who is ok with child abuse on hormone therapy. You can2t be someone who is sane and say "maybe both of them are bad?" because if you do that, you do not get votes.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 06, 2023, 05:29:53 PM
I think Manchester United players are cursed. After Mason Greenwood was under investigation because of sexual assault and he had bad days, this time another palyer from Manchester United, Antony, the Brazilian winger got the same problems.
They say this palyer attacked his wife while she was pregnant.
Even Brazil's national team put this player out of the teams because of that while nothing is clear yet.
I think that's just pure coincidence and nothing more. Anthony situation is a bit different than Greenwood situation. In Greenwood situation there was a case for it and he could have been found guilty, in Anthony case, it is just investigated and so far there hasn't been any proof at all, it could be all lies and we wouldn't know right now.

This is why it is quite important to make sure that it is doing fine and they are not really guilty. Maybe it is all for just money, like so that she could be paid to shut up and withdraw it, and maybe he is seeing the bluff and going on it, if no proof comes out then United should stick with him and not really send him away. It would mean that any woman could lie about any player to ruin their career.

I bought a hundred or so wheel spins today just because as somebody pointed out its not a big risk and always might win something more from it.  I did it in parts and adding up the winnings from a few dozen attempts gave a value equal to what I used up, so I lose nothing in trying really.    If you believe price of BTC will keep going down, what happens with the wheel spin purchase price is that its in line with the lowest or base prize so like the free wheel spins the reward goes up.  You could speculate that way though its quite small, theres at max 11% appreciation left there at the moment.
   The end of price month bets,  FUN token I put down wild bets and so none paid but thats nothing big.  The BTC one as I said earlier it failed in its trajectory downwards, we just reverted to a more boring sideways but appearing negative range; my bets only paid on the lowest odds and it came out even and covered all my ranged bets.  Again nothing lost in trying just some fun guessing.
I do have some money in here, and I was thinking about doing it as well but I wasn't sure. I mean I was afraid that it would mostly be RP and not even satoshi, and the return may not be what I want it to be, so I was feeling a little scared, kind of like gambling basically and that is why I wanted to avoid it because the money here goes to gambling anyway, no need to put added extra stuff, and I use some of it to get fun tokens as well.

In the end, I feel like if you say that it is almost like break even, that is a good enough reason to give it a try, even if I lose all of it, not like it is a money that I end up using neither, so it shouldn't really be a problem, if they are all gone then they are all gone but we know it won't be all gone.
771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: September 05, 2023, 08:49:41 PM
Galatasaray announced today that it has transferred 2 players. Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele.
Both players are very good players, they were necessary transfers for Galatasaray.
I hope they will adapt to the team as soon as possible.
Galatasaray had huge issues with midfielders especially all their players were too offensive (except Torreira) this waw causing issues handling the ball against better teams. I think this transfer with Ndombele is going to solve Galatasaray s physicality problem for sure. I think he can play with Torreira against bigger teams so Galatasaray can now become totally defensive in their champions league matches. Cool new transfers.
Galatasaray has transfered Ndombele and Davinson Sanchez from Tottenham and Besiktas has transferred Baily as well. These are good transfers, it shows once again that Turkey is one of the big names in the world of football, this is why I like to bet on them. I know that finance is a big issue for them normally, because they do not make that much money compared to EU teams due to their nations economy, but this season everyone got huge names to their club which is a great thing I am sure.

I feel like this should be the important season they have, they could switch something with the teams and start betting and playing amazing results in the end. I am gambling like crazy on all their games and having incredible fun with it.
772  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ? on: September 05, 2023, 05:54:01 PM
It's the opposite, the tendency (cyclicality of Bitcoin's price movement) suggests we will have another bull run after the halving.
Of course, the most logical thing to do is to rely on what is most probable, not on what is improbable. You can think many similar things. What if I'm walking down the street and a brick falls on my head or I'm struck by lightning? These are events that can happen, but they are extremely improbable, and you are not going to base your life, your actions, on them, like staying at home to avoid being killed by a brick that comes loose and falls from a building.

The same with Bitcoin. Chances are that the price will continue to rise, albeit with volatility and slower and slower, over the next 10 years.
I wish more people knew and realized this. I can also talk about bitcoin becoming 1 billion dollar each in the next 10 years as an opposition to this, but would that make sense? Of course not, it would not make sense at all. We shouldn't spend our time thinking about things that will not happen, we should talk about it as much as we know how to and what to make of it, that would make a lot more sense in the end.

I understand that it is not that simple but at the end of the day we could grow up to be doing something that is a lot different in the end. I hope that we could reach to a point where we can make some money with bitcoin in the next 10 years and this topic would not be important by that time when we do.
773  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin on Weekly looks Dangerous on: September 04, 2023, 06:33:34 PM
If bitcoin does not bounce back up from the current level, but instead continues to decline, we will probably see a new bear market. There are already several red monthly candles now, which is not good. Usually September has not been a bullish month for cryptocurrencies, so we shouldn't expect a rise this time around either.
At least there could still be some more resistance to the price of Bitcoin in the market for now though don't expect a price increase. Because everyone would definitely be very ready to see an increase in prices if that could happen this month, although I also don't think that could happen anytime soon. But it would be much better if that could still happen this month, but I would be more grateful if Bitcoin no longer experiences a decline to a lower price than now and can still stay at the current price range before the next increase arrives.
The resistance is not that much considering we have gone down from there already and very recently, it takes time for resistance to build up. Whereas we haven't been under 25k for months now and the support level there is quite strong, doesn't mean it can't be broken but it requires a lot more money to make us go under 25k than it requires to get us above 28k.

Like I said, that doesn't mean it will not happen but at the same time I like to side with whatever is the easiest for the market, and for the time being it's easier for the market to make it go up, so when that is easier it is something that feels a lot better to me in the end and I think it should be important to keep it going and do a lot better for a while.
774  Economy / Economics / Re: I wonder if food prices in your country have also increased? on: September 03, 2023, 08:23:45 PM
It is true that every region has significant food needs because each region is also able to produce significant food products, both in volume and in quality. For example, here in my country, each region is known for producing different food products, some are known for producing rice, and some for fish and other seafood. Such a thing is the reason why local trade happens, our region exports foods that are produced here to other regions while other regions do the same to our region. In most cases, locally exported products have higher prices, like in my area, seafood has higher prices while in the area where my mother lives rice and meat costs are higher. However, when inflation hit, it seemed as if it didn't matter what your area is rich in, all prices of food and necessities skyrocketed and what I usually spend for a month's worth of groceries is now being used to suffice 2 weeks' worth of food.
Yeah true for my country as well, every region has their own famous parts. When you pick one nation that may have a lot of meat, when you pick another it has a lot of vegetables, some plant trees, some go out to fish, some plant small stuff, some big huge land requiring stuff.

One thing we lack is wheat, which is the most common thing needed, but since it is not that profitable, and cheaper to just buy from other nations, not many do it, but that causes money going out of our nation, so I truly think government should have huge wheat lands, make a loss if you have to, but keep the money in the nation at least. Food fluctuates a lot depending on the economy, but it should not be that confusing in the end when economy becomes stable.
775  Economy / Speculation / Re: Volatility and its effect on: September 03, 2023, 07:23:39 PM
The volatility in the market can bring opportunity for other investors in this field of Bitcoin or crypto. And for others, it can cause them bad things if they don't have a deep understanding of this industry. But do you know that volatility also teaches us to balance the assets we have here and decide if we should buy or sell? Because this is the beauty of volatility, actually.

That's why others say that this is an opportunity because it gives us a signal to have income, or else we will be even more prudent in what we do here as investors or holders.
It can be said that volatility is essential when it comes to investing because it is through it that we can make a profit. But whether we can make a profit or whether it will be harmful to us depends on our own abilities. Like @Watche said, volatility is like a double-edged sword, if someone knows how to use it, it will have very good effects, but if someone doesn't know how to use it, it will harm them.

Cryptocurrency is famous for its volatility, I know many gold and stock investors turn to bitcoin because they like its high volatility. The more volatile the market, the higher your chances of making money.
I think investing is not something that requires volatility, trading is. When you are investing that means you are going to hold for a while and it can grow slowly and you would still make a profit and you would be happy about it and that's fine however when we are talking about trading that's going to be different and you may want to see some volatility so you could make a profit.

In order to make a profit from trading, you need to end up with a up and down constantly to make that profit, otherwise you are not going to make that profit easily. I get that it is not that simple, but it should not be, that's not the point and you should be making some profit that would make more sense on the long run whenever you can.
776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: September 03, 2023, 06:22:44 PM
On the paper, Galatasaray should win very easily but Galatasaray fans are still in doubt. Whatever kind of roster planning has been done, in the fourth week of the league, Galatasaray now has only Baris Alper on the bench as an attacker. In the second half, when the opponent is under pressure, the only possibility to reinforce the midfield is Kaan Ayhan. There is no one else. I still expect an easy win for Galatasaray but the fuss that has been made about their transfers can't be seen on the pitch yet. There is a lot of criticism about Okan Buruk.
It was definitely an easy game for Galatasaray, they are ramping up the wins now and they are getting a few in a row to look good on a streak. They already had a very tough draw on UCL group stages, so they should be doing fine with the league at least. The games they play are easy looking for the schedule, and betting on them was easy as well.

I think it is quite important to find these easy games one way or another and should be careful about it as well. I think it is not that easy to get these games because they are not that common, either the best or at least one of the best teams of a league playing one of the worst is very good and easy way to make money. Sometimes upsets happen, but this time it was a clear win.
777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 03, 2023, 05:36:29 PM
If I were the General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks, this trade would never happen even if Anthony Davis improves a lot from last season. As he is already known to be injury-prone, I would not invest in a player with a history of injuries like Anthony Davis. Giannis has had some injury issues in the past but they haven't been as like Anthony Davis is. I would consider accepting the trade if it included additional players like Austin Reaves not just Anthony Davis.
Correct! Why bother to trade your superstar with someone who is known to be an injury-prone player? that's make no sense at all.

Though on some side both are really playing great and the impact is not by far but investment wise, for me, I'll rather
add more money for Giannis' deal instead of letting him go.

Giannis is an all-around player and if he will play with someone who can meet his level of competitiveness, chance that
they may win another title is still possible.
Plus, the difference between Giannis and AD is that Giannis does the same thing better, whereas Lakers do not need someone better doing the same thing, they need someone different. I feel like GM's of whoever has the Lebron never really does the best trades they could, like what the hell was Westbrook, not that he was bad or anything (which he was) but that his playstyle doesn't fit.

I 100% believe that if you got like Tyrese Haliburton instead of  Giannis, that would help Lebron a lot more. I know that you think that's a downgrade, but that dude could shoot threes like crazy and that's the most important part. I believe that they need those type of players around Lebron to have another success again if they want to.

that would 22x of that money before taxes, which could make the need for growth significantly bigger.

I agree that this is the time to buy i any, but how is your portfolio divided. Because i personally can't see bitcoin raising to over half a million next bullrun. Maybe it does if you are lucky, but for example DOT seems a little random investment in your portfolio, especially when you consider that most crypto hacks have been using bridges. SOL is risky af, and XLM might lack adoption. Ada and XRP might rise even though i see anything so special with them. I don't know if they rise 20x though.

I frankly have no clue if eth has any limits on growing if they scale. So that i find a good investment. Even though it's already high in marketcap.
I would say maybe for the bull run after that? I think it would be tough to keep the price same for the apartment though, that's the toughest part. I think it should be important to realize that we are talking about something that is way too big. It could definitely end up holding it for a very long time as well and then you could maybe do something with it as well.

I think it should be good case and we could end up with a good return one way or another. I hope that we could end up with a good return so there is no pessimism required, if you can't make enough on the next bull run, you could make it on the one after that, or the one after that but you could do that if you wait enough and the return will be there eventually.
779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 02, 2023, 01:19:12 PM
Signing Giannis to the Golden State Warriors will probably cost them a lot of good players. Wiggins, and maybe even Klay or Draymond. But if the Bucks are interested they could take CP3 which means a great deal of money that will be released to their salary cap and they get someone that will be worth the price, no disrespect to CP3.
But it all sums down to what the Bucks will need. Giannis is one of the top of the league so I don't think they are just going to let him go. I am more sure that he will make him the face of their franchise.
I've seen some rumors regarding Jrue Holiday trade too but the source is not that convincing so I think it's just a rumor that will die quickly.
Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well, if Klay don't play well in the upcoming season, then I think he will be in the trading block. And if Giannis shows intention of joining, then maybe throw in Wiggins + future draft picks.

Not sure about Draymond though, he is the bedrock of the Warriors so I don't see the management letting go of him. And he just sign a good contract, so he could be out of the equation.
Klay being on the trading block would be very weird, I am not saying that it's impossible but it will certainly be very weird. Think about what they have won with him and how much he has contributed, just because he has a single bad season doesn't mean that he should be traded, not even for Giannis because that may result with everyone else playing worse.

There are more things to care about in a team than just how good a player is, like for example how good others are because he is there. Klay may not make others better, but he is liked and even loved by his teammates. If Warriors ever to trade someone away, that should have been Draymond Green long long time ago, dude is terrible for many years now, but since he is loved so much, they still pay him a lot and keep him there.

Was there a lot of money there for them not to take away the world headquarters from this country? Why did FIFA become a blind eye, of course many say that human rights are biased in these countries, but there are countries that also violate human rights and continue walking without saying anything, the Qatari workers are unfortunate, It is something that should not have happened, but who are we to get into the rules, laws of that country and tell them what is right and what is wrong? I don't think we will have that right, as I have said before, if a country chooses to be the headquarters of the world, that country has its customs, it has its rules, and it is the one that hosts an event, the people and the fans, and players have to stick to the rules of that country, there is nothing to do there, if things are like that, you simply have to respect, there are many things that you like and others that you do not like, but after all, that country is sovereign, It has its own laws and FIFA knew that.
It's all about cultural difference, not human rights that is for sure. If there were culturally fun stuff and free planes for each world cup ticket holder (they had enough money to do that) with their airlines and they allowed everyone to wear whatever they want and drink whatever they want, then I bet you that human rights wouldn't be an issue.

Everyone thinks that USA would be great, why? You can go to a game in a bikini if you want, men can wear no tops at all and write the names on their chest, and just wear shorts, everyone will be drinking beer all game long, and nobody will remember that USA not only killed tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of middle easterners but also supported coup against democratically elected presidents in Latin America.
