1761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: April 12, 2022, 08:15:59 PM
Its half time this champions league night and the odd seems to not be in anyones favor lol. It remains a draw at the Allianz Arena as Villareal continue to hold up tight to their 1 goal advantage against the attacks of Bayern Munich; Meanwhile, Mason mount has given Chelsea a lifeline with his in the first half against Madrid. Who will qualify to the next stage?
Very interesting to watching these match.Chelsea is playing aggressive plan against Real Madrid.1st now Real 3-2 Chelsea, If second half Chelsea can do better something. I hope Chelsea can qualify in next round.Bayern did try  to score in 1st half but they didn’t do it.I hope Bayern will win in second half i hope Bayern will be qualify for next round.
After end of first half both matches are very interesting as Bayern Munich is having very good control on all but still looking for their first goal of this match which showing how Villarreal is strong in defense for this match against team like Bayern Munich, hopefully we will have good entertaining match in second half as well.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid is also going to be anybody game after having first half in control of Chelsea with current situation we can say both teams have equal chance for qualifying into semi-final of this year's Champions League but as Chelsea playing most chances they can give shock to home team but still it's not easy for them, we can expect some tactical changes from home team for second half because now it's do-or-die match for both teams and aggressive Chelsea will be more lethal in second half.

As individuals there are many ways we can help toward contributing to the increase in number for bitcoin adoption, in other to achieve this, we must first be the change agent people would want to see and talk about in bitcoin, meaning you must know it, do it and impacts others genuinely about bitcoin.

We have different awareness strategies we can use in achieving this such as creating a bitcoin adverts on social media, radio and tv station, bills amdy fliers, sign posts, branded clothing materials and on one canvasing, class tutorials and seminars etc.
One-on-one conversation is usually the best. There isn’t really the need to be running advertisements or radio promotion because you want to promote Bitcoin,except when you have a business that has to do with cryptocurrency, then you can advertise your business to the people by using all these Media means that you have mentioned to reach out and get more customers. But, when it comes to introducing people to bitcoin I find it that one-on-one conversation just does it for me.

And then I think one thing we should really avoid is passing out the idea that bitcoin will make people rich. Because I usually see some newbies who would get into bitcoin and be expecting to get rich quick because of what they were told. We should let people know that bitcoin is simply a currency/asset, it can also be an investment, but do not think it is something that will get you rich overnight, although you might be lucky.

I have 2 BNB, what is a good project to invest in? Something with utility, no shit coins
BNB is a good crypotcurrency, Binance is the biggest exchange in the world right now, so that automatically makes their coins a good choice. Other cryptocutrrencies you might like to consider may be Ethereum and Bitcoin. Sometimes I go full investment in Bitcoin without minding having any alt coins at all.

It’s just up to you. Most people believes that if you want to play it safe, then Bitcoin should be the choice to hang with since it is the top cryptocurrency in the market and has the potential of growth even in the next years to come, unlike majority of the sky coins market that you can’t tell what would be their outcome in the future.
1764  Economy / Economics / Re: Thailand ban using crypto for payments on: April 11, 2022, 09:59:26 PM
I'm not surprised by the news because they are planning to build their own CBDC which some countries are doing. Bitcoin as a payment system may become a threat to their CBDC, so in order for people to patronize their own fiat centralize currency, they need to barred the popularity of bitcoin as a payment system by banning it.
Governments are either incredibly shortsighted or they actually think their citizens are dumb, after all the huge inflation levels that we are seeing everywhere are their fault and now people are suffering the consequences of their mistakes, and their solution is to create a digital currency that is many times worse than the current form of money they implemented, people will not adopt their coins because they know what they are up to and they will decide to use bitcoin even if they ban it, as people will probably prefer to take their chances rather than adopt those shitcoins made by the governments.
They are afraid, that is the right word. I mean the fact that fiat is bad in every nation, which I am guessing probably even worse than average in Thailand, means that people will move their money more and more to crypto to save their money. Which means that we are looking at a situation where crypto is better seen than the fiat of that nation.

Thailand, china, and many other nations that ban crypto sees this as a threat and their governments are afraid that if they let people use it, it will hurt their fiat even more. Reality is that you are bringing more and more money to that nation if you let people earn from crypto, but they can't see that.
1765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 11, 2022, 09:26:30 PM
For Real Madrid, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Real Betis are all three opponents that are relatively hard opponents. Among them, the performances of Sevilla and Real Betis are very irregular. If Real Madrid can maintain consistency and Benzema is in form, I believe Real Madrid can win all three of these matches. However, if Benzema is injured and out of the squad, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to win the matches.
the most important thing now is that they have to look after Benzema no matter what because he is still a major asset now.
When there is Benzema on the pitch it will be very profitable for Real Madrid. although this is a very unfunny thing because they still hope for one person but they can't do anything without Benzema there.
The schedule is very tight they have to try to make benzema as comfortable as possible and keep him from getting injured
I think they are in a very tricky spot right now, just like with Bayern. Benzema is playing one of the best season of his life, and you can't just sell a player like that with the hopes of getting a better player, both because you can't get insane offers for him since he is old, there will be small offers, and also because how could you afford to get someone better.

If Real is after Haaland, that might work but even that's a tricky situation, get maybe like 30-40 million for Benzema at best, and then pay like 150+ for Haaland, that's tricky. But if they keep him, and play him for a few more seasons which he should be good for, then he will worth nothing for sure, he will be much closer to retiring by that time.

Minimizing risk is indeed better especially with meme coins which if we hold it in the long term it is too risky,
for the meme coin in this case is Shiba inu we have to be wise or manage it well,
we'll see later how far the development of Shiba inu by his team will be
Minimizing risk when we are talking about something like this is a big problem. I mean even putting a single dollar into it is a big risk and that's the problem. Doesn't mean that you can't invest more, if you have enough to invest then you should but that means you are rich and risking small portion of it even though the amount could be high for us.

The famous guy that invested like 8k or something on very early days of it, that has billions now that he can't cash? That guy probably had millions of dollars, that 8k was nothing to him. So, all inall it means that 8k could be a lot for you and me, but still riskless for him, like investing 8 bucks for us.
1767  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins To 10-100x This Year on: April 09, 2022, 03:30:45 PM
the fact that most of the influencer nowadays are not serious when it comes promoting project and what they do is to keep posting click bait to gain viewers in order to have a good income as well, so it's definitely not a good idea.

For me probably it's a good idea to rely on the top 10 cryptos in the market and those projects that made good history in the previous run because surely after all you can obtain profits, even not 10x at least you have profits and your capital is in a safe place, and instead of seeking new projects because tbh its really hard to find gems nowadays..
Investing money in new project is just like a bet. You are never really sure of what would be the outcome but there is also the possibility that you might end up being lucky on your investment and that would be a cryptocurrency that would make 100 times increase in value in the nearest future. But this is never the case for most of the people, only a few are this lucky.

So, for anyone who is trying to do such thing, you just have to be careful and make sure that there is a lot of money to spare if you're taking such a risk. If not, the best thing for you to do is just keep investing in the top projects in the market and stay safe.
1768  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The new star of the stock market is APE COIN!! on: April 08, 2022, 08:03:07 PM
Unfortunately people do not understand that at all. In fact, doge and shiba should have been staying lower than where they are right now as well, they do not deserve where they are. You can ask the very creator of doge and he will tell you that he developed it in 2 hours as a joke as well and people still buy it and think it is a good investment.

Shiba is opportunist few people getting together to use the name of the doge meme dog type, which is a shiba, and then they are hoping that it would do well enough. This is why they are useless and worthless, doge, shiba, ape, floki all of them are horrible and for some reason people do not realize that.
This is true, it is really just a shame that crypto world become such a joke in the world. Between the memecoins, and NFT world, and metaverse projects building stuff on top of roblox looking shitty graphics, we became a joke to the world.

I mean back in the day we were bitcoin, ethereum, decentralized finance, replacing banks, ignoring borders, becoming international and so many other things. Today? Lol look at the shiny nft I can showcase on my minecraft home!! That is the horrible stuff that we became just because of things like shiba, doge, ape and many other things like that. I feel ashamed when talking about how I am in crypto and people think I do those things.

Basic education is indeed the main menu to be taught to children at an early age, especially moral education, which at this time we see many people who have knowledge but have no morals. this is related to mental formation from now on, so that in the future they know what to do and what not to do. after that we gradually introduce what we have to teach them including cryptocurrencies, and for its development, let them decide for themselves, just as if we are good at trading, not necessarily our children will follow it, even though we have excess knowledge. the time has come for our children to determine their own path in life, and the task of parents is to support them to success
Everything starts with the basics but if ever you're done learning the basics, you have an option to continue learning with advance education as they can teach you high quality stuffs that are not being taught on normal or basic education and moral too of course.

It's okay if your not highly intelligent person but as long as you have a good moral/s you will be valued by any other people you came across with and that can give you a good feeling. If your good at trading, you should pass this skill to your child. You can teach them when they are still young so that they won't complain but if they have no passion for it, what can we do? Nothing but still support them.
1770  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH future on: April 08, 2022, 12:35:34 PM
Etherium chain is very reliable in all the current chains. Etherium 2.0 version is also going to be launched soon. Then there will be a big reduction in gas fees. At present you can see that 60 to 80 percent of the projects of Ethereum chain are working. The most. If there is one after Bitcoin it is Ethereum. That is, it is not appropriate to tell anyone about its future. Since you are working in this industry, you must know the importance of etherium. And its future will be wonderful and bright in the days to come.
Were do you get that info that it will be launched soon? I think that was just an April fools jokes. Every year they always say that eth 2.0 will come but we are now at 2022 and still no eth 2.0. You better not hope for that because it will only disappoint you.

@zasad already disappoints you, I think he is saying that even if eth 2.0 will come, there will still be no changes in the fees but there will only be a transition that will happen from pow to pos. Fees on eth are now decreasing the past few days btw, have you noticed it? My friend says that they pay only 2 to 3 dollars compare to last time 40 dollars and above, that is still a great achievement. No need for eth 2.0 bs.

look at videogames 12 years ago and look at it now, things evolve
even if VR experience sucks at the beggining it'll be only a small experience if compared to what we'll have in 10 or 20 years time
technology evolves in a crazy speed
I think there are already VRs before in the 90's, saw it somewhere in a video but I only don't know if it's true. There must be a noticeable improvement but that won't be too much as when compared to how the video games evolve or maybe video games are just more in the mainstream and not the VRs? Because, we can still play a game, watch a video and do other stuffs without it.

Some people can't wait anymore for gambling sites to have a VR support and these people won't mind playing a not so good game but as long as it's associated with gambling. Gambling sites can still make money out of it, no need to be perfect.
1772  Economy / Economics / Re: WTF? Food prices expected to raise up to 50% in German supermarket. on: April 07, 2022, 07:23:35 PM
It is to be expected, but I saw some other news that it was around 20 percent maximum around Europe. Never expected to be 50 percent, this is an alarming rate. The poor can't afford to eat 3 times a day anymore. What could be imposed to avoid this kind of dilemma? It is sad knowing that this could happen any part in the world including where my family lives in. It is very hard right now that we makes ends meet, our family rely on us. The world is getting harder every day to live in, these wars are the primary suspect and should be ended soon before people start dying of hunger.
Not to eat 3 times a day is not a new thing anymore but starting when the price starts to get higher, people are now conserving their food and money and they eat like 2 times a day. There are also people that are not poor but simply diet and they don't eat 3 times a day. That doesn't harm your body anyway but in fact it can have some great benefits because the calories that you consume are now lesser.

Wars might have an impact to to this issue but even without wars, we can still expect an issue like this not only in German but to all parts of the world. There's a sanction that is already imposed in the hopes that the war would stop and we can feel a little relief after that.
1773  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My Investing Coin on: April 07, 2022, 06:42:23 PM
In my opinion, a new coin that has the potential to be developed in the future is Axie Infinity, because I think this crypto-based game is very much in demand and has been widely adopted in the market, I am very optimistic that Axie Infinity will be the best investment in the next few years.
First off, axie is not a new coin and I think it was not even a coin but it was a game (a name of a game) but they have a coin called axs. Second of all the hype of the game or the coin axie is now slowly going down. Recent news about them are all negative and with that, many axie investors or axie gamers are now fleeing and now looking for a brand new play to earn game.

I think the closest that they can found are pegaxy, not only sure though if this is still related to axie because their name sounds the same. Next would be mir4 but the gameplay of this one is more action packed, this will likely have more potential than the two.
1774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Scams now the second largest in the world on: April 07, 2022, 04:54:31 PM
Actually crypto is still in its early stages and scammers are easily able to fool the newbies in this field. People jump into crypto without much knowledge and scammers used this to their advantage. Also crypto is decentralized and not regulated, both of these things are exploited by the scammers.
Since most scammers are using trust frauds, yes, they are trying to confuse those who are them aimed to cheat. And they usually use hypic topics in which few people understand at the moment. Cryptocurrencies are both polular and not understood enough by majority. That's why we are working on spreading the word about crypto so more people can know enough not to be deceived.
It's not about the crypto that is on its early stage but it was about the newbie that is on their early stage. That makes them a vulnerable target by the fraudsters. A hype topic is popular than a topic that are not being talked about often so people might know them already or if not then they will do their own research because it can make them curious about that thing but in the end, if they still didn't get it, they should refrain from investing on it.

There are people that spread the word crypto but they only spread minor info like saying crypto can make you money, only to attract them to invest here but that was wrong. Their safety is our responsibility so we should tell them the hazards of cryptos as well.
1775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 07, 2022, 10:45:16 AM
I remember Jose Mourinho in his last season with Manchester United labelled Paul Pogba as a virus. But many fans came for him and even the team players seemed to took Pogba's side. Over the years, he has been nothing less than toxic, his attitude, ego and always quick to drop negative comments to media when away from  Manchester United.
You do not call a player toxic though, I mean sure he is, but him calling pogba a virus is not really a professional thing to do. If you do not like that player, you bench him, and even take him out of the 18, and then keep him there until he starts to act better.

Even though he was right, because he reacted wrongly, people came in to defend him, I never liked him, I believe he could have gone the Balotelli route and be in worse and worse teams, but Pogba was defended just because he was talked about badly. Instead of talking badly, you just need to bench him and that would have made all the difference. This move could literally might have saved Pogbas life, so he owes it all to Mourinho.
1776  Economy / Economics / Re: Regulation seem like the only option left on: April 07, 2022, 05:38:51 AM
Regulations are necessary to bring some level of legitimacy to the entire crypto/Blockchain industry. But too much regulations would simply stifle the growth of crypto within a designated area. While there's no point in trying to regulate something that's decentralized as crypto, governments still do it because they don't want Fiat to lose traction in the mainstream world. Otherwise, people will ditch Fiat in favor of crypto, greatly undermining the government's capacity to control the economy.

We should expect more regulation from various countries worldwide in order to prevent crypto from replacing Fiat. I'm fine with that as long as decentralization wins in the long run. Who knows what the future holds for the entire crypto/Blockchain industry?
Regulation to regulation it would change though. Regulation just means putting laws on it, basically if you ban crypto that means regulations as well, the meaning of the word is that, if you make it legal and not even taxed just free use, that is regulations as well. You do not have any type of situation where it is illegal or legal and not regulated. As soon as any nation has ANY laws regarding crypto, that means it's regulated.

China regulates it in a way that it is not allowed to use, the USA is state oriented so there are some regulated it in a good way, some that regulated in a horrible way, or ones that do not even regulate. So regulation doesn't automatically brings legitimacy to it directly.
1777  Economy / Economics / Re: The economy is important for a family! on: April 06, 2022, 09:41:48 PM
Crypto education is optional education (not mandatory) that we can give to our children, but there is nothing wrong with giving crypto education to our children because then it can make our children's knowledge wider. but of course basic education such as reading, counting, and respecting others is the main education that we must give to our children because without basic education all knowledge that he has will be in vain.
Agree, children are the most precious treasure that God has entrusted to us. Give knowledge and guide him to be ready for bigger challenges when he grows up. Children must be independent, able to take care of themselves, excel and understand everything we teach. Children are like a hammer in a toolbox, if they are only stored (never used), they will only become a burden in the toolbox. But if we provide knowledge that can improve the quality of children's understanding, then our lives will feel light and easy because it can provide a balance in the family economy.
Sometimes I feel so sorry that we will be leaving a worse world to our children then our fathers did to us. When my father was young, he didn't had the technological improvements that we had, but they had a simpler and happier life, they had some troubles but none of them felt as existentialist as ours right now, my day was the same age as me in 1992, life was not perfect but let's be honest it was better than right now.

God knows when my child will be 32 (don't have one right now) but I am sure when they are 32 they will be living in a much worse situation. We need to get them ready both mentally and economically to save them from horribleness that we created. In order to do that, we need to both provide best economy we can, but also teach them about it for sure.
1778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 06, 2022, 09:21:37 PM
I think the determination of the title of the Serie A league until the last match, this year the determination of the title is very competitive like the English league, even though the English league is currently only contested by two teams, namely Liverpool and Manchester city. but the Italian league is contested by three teams, after the last few seasons Juventus has always been the dominant one without any significant competition from Italian league teams.
The fascination that anything could happen is getting lesser and lesser unfortunately because of the money involved in football and italy is one of the few places left that have three teams fighting. Premier league has 2, bundesliga has one, ligue one has one, la liga probably has one, big nations do not have three clubs fighting anymore.

It is not even about just this year, when was the last time PSG wasn't dominant, sure they lost last year but that was a shocking thing, not a long term thing, for the past 10 years they dominated, same with bayern, same with city and liverpool, same with real and barca, and it was like that for serie a and juventus. But finally we broke those chains.
1779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are the criteria for choosing altcoin on: April 06, 2022, 07:04:35 PM
I personally see a lot of good stuff in this space, and sometimes we don't know how to build the right strategy for ourselves, which leads to struggling to find opportunities for ourselves. Of course, nothing is perfect in this space, and transparent top projects are the top choices for many investors. I personally like ETH, BNB, DOT, LINK,... and especially what I think everyone will want to hold more than BTC.
What is already famous and has become popular will always be targeted by many people to have it as much as possible and also store it safely before using it in the trade.
And the coins that you like are coins that are also liked by many people in general so it would be very good if at this time they could be used in trading to get the profit on target.
That is the key point on most of my purchases. I do not invest into things that most people are ignorant about, or not really know the details of it. If you really want to invest into something, it is not about how much you know about that coin or token, it's about how much others know about it.

Bitcoin is the biggest coin for example, and if you invest into bitcoin you know that it is the most known coin and you feel good about it, then you invest into something as big as you can find, eth, ltc, bnb and so forth. But if you invest into coins that are out of top 200, then you would probably realize that it's not something big at all, and should not be considered a good investment.
1780  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: An advice for newbies and plebs on: April 06, 2022, 06:31:06 PM
The capital part is one of the hardest parts when you are not a rich person. I believe that I have "diamond hands", which is basically the fact that I do not ever feel the need to sell my coins, not when they are down, not when they are up. I didn't sell when I made 10x profit, I didn't sell when I lost 50% of that, and I am not selling now and I never felt the need to.

However, previously I had situations where I needed to sell it, for some personally reasons. The fact is that I may save money every month, I may not need that money, I can feel like that money is money I can afford to lose and move on, then life happens and a sudden very big expense comes along, and you spend it all at once. That is why going from pleb to rich is so hard.
It is alright if you have to pay for stuff in your life with the profits of your crypto profits. However, if you have to do that when it is down, that is the bad part and it would create some type of problem. If you put in 1k, and have 10k, and you have to take that out to pay something that means you wouldn't normally be able to pay it like that, so easily, but you managed to do that and earned something. It is not really a bad thing because it did helped you get better in life.

I paid my debts with it as well and I see that as an absolute win, now I have one debt left, which is about 100 dollars per month for the next 4 months, and I will pay that with crypto profits as well hopefully (if I profit like that). Do not consider that as a bad thing, it means crypto made your life better.
