I believe that newbies who show a willingness to listen and extensively read through the posted questions and answers are typically not novices when it comes to online forums. They already have an understanding of how these platforms operate and often demonstrate an intermediate level of understanding regarding bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. Usually, their first goal I think is to spend a significant portion of their time studying the forum.

On the other hand, there is another group who I feel have entry-level knowledge of bitcoin because they are eager to ask any questions or uncertainties on their minds. This eagerness sometimes leads them to unintentionally repeat questions already addressed on the forum. Interestingly as they spend more time on the forum, we find that their frequency of confusion-related questions begins to decrease. Eventually they grow to the point where they can answer queries posed by other beginners.

This is going to be huge but I do not think that it is only Jack that's spear heading this. And it is too early to conclude on it. I think in my estimation that it is necessary and from what I have read, there are many potentials and upside to it. One of the reasons I like it is that it is disruptive. But is this going to in any ensure that we do not see high transaction fees again? In addition, what will happen to the already existing mining pool. Will it be abandoned by the miners? Further explanations would go a long way to help me understand better.

What you must know is that not everyone you can invent a new job and be good at it. Some persons are the job-seeking type of people.They do not have the potentials to be an employer of labor and if they were, they would be terrible at it. Haven't you heard of people who invented a job, close shop and went back to job hunting after a year or thereabouts because they could not cope with the demands of the invented job.

A lot of traders are not as profitable as they claim to be. I don't know the exact percentage but I can say and stand to be corrected that 95% of traders even the so called professionals are not profitable. How do I know this through simple deduction. 95% of these unprofitable traders make their money through other means and their unsuspecting followers don't know this. Some of the means are
- starting a YouTube channel and making money of
a) affiliate program
b) YouTube ads

- Having a paid course.
- Trading signals
- Selling trading merch
- impressions
- and others.

The true 5% of traders that are very successful and profitable do not even have a YouTube channel (only a very few exceptions). They are strictly for trading only, day in and say out.

I believe that I can be profitable in gambling which is why I Gamble. I have also gone the extra length to watch tons of YouTube videos on gambling by most gambling professionals. I am looking to develop or improve on my gambling strategies. I would want to learn  if there are new skills, tips and tricks that can help me to be better gambler. I have even considered buying their courses but that is a future plan . It is my optimism that keeps me going.

Some gamblers have accepted their fate which is a responsible gambling. They know they do it, they know that they are addicted to it and you have accepted it. For them it is what is the worst that can happen. After all, they have lost everything and have nothing else to use. Trying to advise or tell them why they should gamble responsibly is veaste of time. When I meet these people, I leave them alone with whatever idealogy that's behind their gambling. It's live and let live.

I want to think that there are three types of traders, beginner, intermediate and expert. An expert trader using a demo account is a huge eeg flag for me especially if I want to learn from the person.

There should be other ways to try out new strategies as an expert trader at that level. There should be tools that expert traders can use to test their strategies other than using a demo environment. Besides losing money is part of the learning curve. If you are afraid to lose money you are not ready for the reality of trading.

I did know that such indicators exist. They are not entirely strange bit I would call them less common indicators. From off the top of my head, some other less likely indicators include -
- cellular call index- people may make less call during a recession to save money on cal bills
- brothel index- people are less likely to visit brothels and strip clubs during a recession.
- shortlet index -hotels and rental businesses are affected. Less travels and sleepovers.
- gambling/casino index- people gamble less or restrict their gambling activities during an economic downturn.

Well said.
Once we understand what what has been written here, out lives will be easier, simpler, better. We don't need to compare our lives and livelihood with others. For as long as we are hustling legitimately we need to take our eyes of social media comparison. That is not real life.

I started the business that I'm doing today and the way I was able to get capital for it was through a loan. Not from your bank but from companies that give out loans with very high interest rates. Before I took out the loan though I already had a repayment plan set in place so as soon as I collected the loan I started to repair it immediately until I was done. This was how I raised capital to start my business. Prior to this time, I had asked family and friends for a loan but then everyone had their thing that they needed money to fix for them. When they refused, I didn't push further. I turned to the loan company. The interest rate was very high but I survived and my business is thriving.

This is such bad news.
Those who save their bitcoins in an online wallet is dancing tango with the devils. There is always a pains end to it. A thousand and one times it has been echoed that your best bet is to save your bitcoin in a multisignature or cold storage wallet.

I hope that it is not only you who have learned from this experience but others who are making the same mistake as you currently can learn and preventing the impending disaster.

Assuming that I have a business and one of the methods of payment is through bitcoin, do you think that this your logic will be correct or it applies that in this case. Nobody wants to pay anything extra high fees after making a purchase. It makes no sense especially with high fees. And it has nothing to do with affordability or not. Did you know that this is one of the issues that critics points out when talk against bitcoin and it is call scalability.

Any gambler whose friend gives this sort of bad advice should be unfriended because it means that such as person doesn't have the best interest of his friend at heart. A good friend should be the wing man of his gambler friend. Advising when he is going on the extreme with his bets. That friend should be able to chip in words of encouragement when their friend loses and wants to chase the loss due to irrational thinking at that time. He should be able to say "We leave to fight another day." There is no joy in seeing a gambler friend loses and still losing . Or in debts because of gambling habit.

Sometimes it is not about the financial success. At the end of the day, it boils down to success at home, health, friendship and good relationships. Some of the A students actually look at making impact in the world in whatever field they find themselves in. These A students don't care about who they work for as long as they are making impact. These A students are the Nobel Prize winners, Canada Gairdner Award, Fresenius Research Prize, The Laskers, Life Sciences Breakthrough Prize, MacArthur Fellowships, Tang Prize, Crafoord Prizes, The Fields Medal. This is what is important to them.

Most rich people who gamble do not play slots, they play table games which are more of games of skills. And as you may have know when the rich gamble they do it for socialization and for business purposes.


I think that when the rich gamble particularly those who are business people and entrepreneurs . Maybe the funds they use for gamble has been budgeted from the company funds. And of course the ROI on this is huge. Because when they win, they close the deal with the client.

That correct and instead of a ding sound can it be like a swoosh sound. The ding sound makes it look like we are expecting digits but it is not what comes up.
Albeit, great job test the designing the bitcoin logo.

This goes to show you how we as humans plan our lives around our salary. It is almost as if we are leaving to work for our salary and spend it the moment we are paid. And most of these expenses made when your salary has been received is impulse buying. Which is why it Is not bad of you wait it out for a few days before making any expenses. You will have more clear and logical thinking if you do so.

I guess this is what the world and tech has turned into right now. It is all about data data and data. Humans or consumers of tech products are just participants in a huge experiments going on and the data is being gathered and analysed by the research and development department of these corporations who have paid big money for this. While it is true that you can turn off permissions to camera and microphone on your phone when downloading an app it may not be possible for those who live in smart houses , or use cars that my have internet connectivity.

If you are referring to American football, then I am outta here. I try to understand the game but it is too complicated unlike basketball that is without much complications. I may watch it but I do not bet on it because what I do not understand, I do not bet on.

I may try my hands one betting on one or two games if I feel the odds is rights after I get a hang of the game but for now, I am still learning about the sport.
