How in the world did SBF decide that gambling was the best course of action for recovering the funds? It seems to me that he has terrible friends around him.  Have you ever thought of gambling as way to recover your funds and pay your debts? Does this look like a case of compulsive gambling?
There are much better ways to repay your loan than gambling. It is only a naive person that chooses to gamble. SBF needs good people around him that will tell him the truth and not just what he wants to hear. Wishing gambling shops can run some sort of assessment that would prevent those who owe money from gambling, this would save the individuals from doom.

One of the hardest life lessons is that things rarely go as we plan, yet often they turn out better than we could have imagined. Second, don't anticipate anything from anyone. Expectations lead to heartbreaks and disappointments. That is, it doesn't always work that way to expect people to treat you well because you treat them well.

What I do in my free time depends on how I feel at that point in time. Most times when I am free, I am feeling like I have worked so hard and want to relax, I may decide to see a movie. At other times when I am free and I feel I need to clear my head, I may take a very long walk. And at some other time, I may decide to use my free time to stream a documentary on YouTube.

I'd be interested in your experiences. Have any of you written a book? What strategies worked for you to successfully write and publish your book?
One of the strategies that authors who I love reading their books do is that, they start with a personal story. Usually in a narrative format, their history. Then slowly they start intertwine their their thoughts and opinions into the piece. The best writers are those who will leave you with something to think about after reading a chapter.You could do both.

I am assuming it's someone who you have been in a relationship with. From experience to forget or get over someone, get busy, try working out, hangout with your good friends, or start a pet project.

It's almost like a usual scenerio in every transfer window that Manchester United will have a number of players on their list which they will end up buying none lol. Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United feel unrealistic to me though but we shall see whether Manchester United can go against odds and pull this one through. Griezmann was so impressive in the world cup and I'm pretty sure that is why United are interested in him.
I do not see any problem in getting Antoine Griezmann even though some fans may think that Ten Hag won't sign him because he is old and want his focus is on building young average players.  
He'd be playing as central forward to drop deep so Bruno can get run off him, going wide and everywhere else on the pitch creating chances of play for Rashford and Antony.

When it comes to futures, we want our money to grow with the lowest possible risk and the biggest potential returns and rates of return. Although there are wise ways to approach it, there are no quick fixes to become wealthy.

1328  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance lots of FUD on: December 20, 2022, 09:57:01 AM
Just remember that all this FUD is a great buying opportunity.
I am a great believer in CZ and Binance, obviously, they are guided by strong principles.
In the end, I know Cz and Binance will overcome this planned attack on them. Kevin is the villain in this story and he should be blamed for the FUD.
1329  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Qatar Footballl World Cup - People decided not to watch on: December 20, 2022, 09:08:31 AM
Well, now that the world cup has ended is there going to be an improvement in workers conditions?
What I mean is that, since some of the stadiums will be dismantled will the condition of the workers who will be involved improved?
The best thing I would say right now is that people who go there to accept work under such terrible conditions should just stop because there is no end in sight for such terrible working conditions.

OP, did you get your whole income in bitcoin?
If you ask me, I will say that it is risky. What is advisable even by most bitcoin experts especially when it comes to the economics is that only a certain percentage of your pay should be received in Bitcoin while others should be in your local fiat.
To execute this, your organization should consider using Bitwage - They services is like pay deduction. Such like a split paycheck. They send a percentage or fixed amount from your paycheck every month to a specific bank account using a specific ACH transaction.
On the other end, Bitwage will immediately convert it to bitcoin and deposit to into a bitcoin address. You can read more about them here - https://www.bitwage.com/.

If you'd like to learn more, here's a link to our website: www.marketspaace.com (By the way, our site & socials will have a lot of updates in the coming weeks)

I just checked out the website and I can say there are really cool interesting items you have there. It's been almost 4 months since you made this post, just want to ask how is the project so far?
I hope you are getting unique visitors.
Well to answer your question, I buy most electronics and electrical appliances with bitcoins. In my country, there's no option yet to pay real estate with bitcoin unless the person is your friend.
1333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or altcoin? on: December 19, 2022, 01:45:10 PM
Leaving sentiments asides, will you advise someone to still buy some Bitcoins (Not up to the value of 1)  if they have an amount of money that will be okay to purchase the equivalent of 1 of a good altcoin with a strong community? Is having some bitcoins (in decimals) more valuable still than having the value of one good altcoin?
I liked altcoins when I first got into crypto, but I learned a terrible lesson.
If you have to buy that new hyped hot coin that will change the future, do a little water testing on the side and put a tiny piece of your portfolio in it but don’t sell bitcoin. Above all bitcoin remains the king.
The goal isn't 1 BTC. The goal is consistent investment over a long period of time because small Satoshi on has accumulated now will in the future turn many into millionaires.

Just before he was scheduled to testify before Congress. I'm hoping they find a way to bring him before Congress.
There are far too many people in Washington, D.C., who are connected to him—I'm talking about well-known politicians. He should be taken to jail. He ruined the lives of countless people.

Do not be too hard on yourself. Most people mess up on their first public talk. So, breath in and relax. I have had my own fair share of the embarrassing public speaking. My suggestion, Watch some Toastmasters speeches on YouTube.  It would give you some great ideas. Goodluck
1336  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you Smoke? on: December 19, 2022, 11:47:43 AM
What do you think are the long term consequences of smoking Cigg or Weed.

Other than cancer.
A simple answer to this question is what I found on reddit. It goes thus, "Cigarettes don't expire, but the person smoking them does."
1337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 18, 2022, 05:17:31 PM
Wow, that is a very extraordinary achievement that was made by Mbappe as a young player and moreover if France can win the World Cup this time then Mbappe is a complete young player.
I didn't think France could score a quick goal like that, but I think the blame lies with Argentina replacing Di Maria which made Argentina's gameplay more defensive. Even if Di Maria is still playing, then I'm sure Argentina can maintain the victory it has earned at half time.
First half and mostly in second half Argentina dominated the game.
France barely had a hold on the ball in the Argentina 18-yard box. Thanks to the penalty that gave them the need drive. Nobody expected that equalizer so soon. Mbappe once again proved himself. For now, let us ignore some of the irregularities from the ref.
The game is most likely to end in a penalty shootout.
1338  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: December 18, 2022, 05:10:43 PM
Here are a couple of things I do to really save one third what I earn monthly
1. I cancelled my gym membership and I now work out at home and as for a personal trainer.
2.I plan my meals ahead of time. So, know what I am eating day to day and week to week and so on.
3.I ensure that my pantry and freezer are properly stocked.
4. I practice buying things in bulk.
5. I cut down on eating out.
1339  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Friends and Family members want me to invest for them, help! on: December 18, 2022, 04:47:10 PM
My story is that I really didn't get friends who wanted me to help them invest.
My friends already had a small knowledge about bitcoin. I was the only one who was courageous enough to get it.
For a while, some would call me in the dips, thinking that I would be panicked and were surprised when I told them I was still buying. A few got in and most still haven't.
I got me mum in at around $7k. She's hodling and doing quite well.
Admittedly, I was reluctant at first to let her in. I wish I had put gotten her in very early, but I assume that almost every hodler feels that way.
1340  Other / Politics & Society / Re: This is the way a "bank loan" REALLY works. on: December 18, 2022, 04:24:40 PM
And that is why banks hate bitcoin.

Because if everyone transacts with it, nobody will take fiat loans from the bank, so the bank will have no more "deposits" to lend, no interest to collect and their revenue would go to zero.
Many countries, not just banks, despise bitcoin.
Can you imagine, for example, how bad it would be for America if many countries abruptly ceased to accept the USD or declared that it was worth 70% less than it had been a month earlier? We are aware that the outcome would be a complete and total collapse of the American economy.
And without any other options available to America, this could result in a significant increase in prices everywhere.
