If I'm not wrong OP should change the way he introduce bitcoin to new people. Atleast prior to introduction we should understand what kind of people we're talking with. Not everyone have the mind to accept it, when they've got good sum of fiat. Maybe thats the reason why uncle keeps saying something against bitcoin. It is always necessary to make some connect with the public regarding bitcoin. One should not expose that he's bitcoiner. We should simply introduce about the existence or while discussion happens relative to technology.

When we get into gambling we're into it with our conscious. If it had happened by compulsion then it is wrong. When we enter by our own understanding, then there is no use of blaming others. The street gambles were simple tricks same as that people do magic. We can't be sure as well as those sticks and stones are much used to them. They know well in what way ot need to be dropped so to fail the person who had placed the bet.

Only advantage we've got over the online gambling platforms is the provably fair functioning. We can't expect this with the street gamble. Whether we get into gambling online or offline our minds need to be prepared enough to experience the loss. If by luck we get winning, just enjoy it. This is how one needs to participate into gambling activities.
643  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: May 24, 2023, 09:35:29 PM
It is the person himself need to analyse and understand why he/she should buy bitcoin. Through the discussion OP could've got different reasons, and finally it is his expectations and the belief based on which he needs to make the buying. When it comes to bitcoin, it serves multiple needs. In all there were chances of making money as well as using it as an alternate.

OP's friend have said he can be ____buying bitcoin. The gap can be filled with rich, poor, frustrated,fail etc. The gap gives a perfect connect when you understand well about bitcoin and follow the market. In each and everything there is need of investment, and the same is with bitcoin. The capital is a must and that can be done buying,next its upto the user whether to hold for long term profit, get into trading for regular earning or prefer it for transaction needs etc.

Martinez Pedro got quite a satisfying victory over Dan Added with a 2 - 0 result.
I didn't watch the match until it was over but at the start of the game Martinez Pedro dominated the game in my opinion so that it could provide an opportunity to choose Martinez Pedro as the winner.
Even though I won, it was a shame from this match that the Odds that I got were quite low.

Feel happy that you've won the match. The first set of the match was a real fight and finally Martinez won at the tie breaker 7-68. Maybe if you've placed the bet at those moments of close fight you could've got the chance to make the bet at better odds. The second set went completely in favour of Martinez as he was able to win 6-2.

Bitcoin evangelism: A team of Bitcoin Beach community members visited the Taquillo school in El Salvador to educate the students on the ABCs of Bitcoin and were also kind enough to give the students some free sats so that they can be able to send and receive among themselves, and get a better understanding of how the technology works.
Source

The country that have got 6-7million population seems to be easy to give awareness. The beach community taking it forward and doing the right thing. Maybe the government can also contribute to the community or form more teams that helps in educating the children. If the children were educated and well aware of bitcoin, then the success of the country's bitcoin adoption will go high beyond the expectation. Maybe this can take more time, because it takes time for all these kids to have a transition from a student to an entrepreneur and into different jobs. A much appreciable effort from the community.

Most of the peoples were concern about Mumbai bowling but things completely under their control with after 12 over 90 runs and 6 outs mean now we have second qualifier between GT vs MI which could be good encounter.
Today we have good batting and bowing from Mumbai specially their bowlers which are no experienced done good job and not allowed LSG aggressive batting to have anything from here just Stoinis done some resistance but after his run-out now Mumbai can feel safe.

Today we have no big score from any Mumbai batsmen but still all were in good touch which helps their team for having target like 182 Naveen-ul-Haq's four wickets in vain with Mumbai excellent all-rounder performance.

Mumbai Indians performed really well. When at first I saw that the target was only 183 I did not believe that Mumbai Indians would be able to successfully defend that. I thought that target was good but not probably good enough, as in this season's IPL we had a lot of big scores being chased down.

But Mumbai Indians proved me wrong. They have successfully defended the target. And they have also done that with style. 81 is a big margin. Even though they did not score very big they had certainly won with a big margin. Is it the biggest so far in this season's IPL by the way?
Importantly LSG was the only team to win its last three league matches. The win margins were low, however the team should've got the winning form. Throughout this season's IPL we were able to watch good number of matches having big targets placed and the targets easily chased. Also LSG is the highest scorer of the 2023 IPL. It had also chased 212 runs against RCB in the last ball and recorded a win by a wicket.

We don't know what is behind the father's mind. Simple understanding, he believes gambling is wrong. On what basis he concludes is of his personal experiences, personal understanding or can be on religious factors. This incident can be taken on the positive way as well as on the negative note.

Think of a situation in which the son use the winning lavishly and ends his living into another track. Such incidents have taken place with different people winning big money. Maybe what the father did is right on such occasion. Same time the money could've been invested on something or it could've been just changed to some cryptocurrency and kept hold.
648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: May 24, 2023, 07:15:06 PM
Bitcoin used to be the preferred one. Apart, ethereum used to be the lucky one. Dogecoin and tron were used when I used to be much serious in gambling. Most of the time I switch between coins to check the luck. Not everytime this works, at times this had helped me overcome the losses. However the overall statistics of my gambling history is in a big loss.

Whenever the market is down I prefer gambling with bitcoin. This is a way to increase the holding and the value rise can be experienced when the market turns bullish.

What a match it is. how LSG lost to MI by 81 runs. such a result was not expected at all. LSG have been considered a good team in IPL but they lost all their wickets for 101 runs and lost to Mi by a huge margin on this match. I was really disappointed by this match. many of me here supported LSG and bet for him but in all cases LSG surprised everyone today.
Akash Madhwal is the find of the season for Mumbai Indians and another wonderful spell of bowling in a crucial match and Mumbai Indians are back in form as usual like the other seasons during the final stages of the IPL and it looks like we will be seeing another final between Mumbai and Chennai and Chennai lifting another trophy  Wink.
It looked like Mumbai Indians were down the points table, but they were winning matches from the beginning. Its like they lost matches on every two matches win and in the final matches they were dominating with continuous wins. Though the performance from Rohit Sharma is not to the expectation, the team players were making a good support for the team to reach this level. Even at this situation Rohit Sharma have scored 250+ runs in this season of IPL. If Mumbai Indians wins the qualifier 2, then surely this trophy goes to them. I'm not sure how could Chennai make it.

Al Nassr has been performing very well this season but today's game was very interesting. Meanwhile, Al Shabab was a standout player with Christian Guanca scoring two goals with his leg magic shortly after the start of the match. Anderson Talisca scored a goal for Al Nassr in the 42nd minute, two minutes after Al Shabab scored the last goal. Al Nassr scored two more goals before and shortly after half time. A huge win for Al Nassr with a one goal win and they are second in the points table. And a better performance later on will see him top the points table as Cristiano Ronaldo is still capable of scoring goals when he drives towards the goal post with great speed in his aged body.
Two more matches left for both the teams. Al-Ittihad will be with increased pressure than Al-Nassr. It looks like Al-Nassr have got adopted to the second position. Al-Ittihad needs to keep its first place it needs to win both the matches. Both were against Al Feiha and Al-Taee. Both teams can be easily won by Al-Ittihad. Lets see if Al-Nassr team along with Ronaldo could do any miracles to reach the first position. Al-Nassr matches were against Ettifaq and Al Fateh, and match against Al Fateh seems to be little fighting.

Yesterday we saw three different players from three different teams scoring century. Both Kohli & Gill got back to back century. Whereas Green got his first century in IPL. The most interesting match of yesterday's was between GT and RCB. Tomorrow GT will be playing againt CSK in the first playoffs. According to me GT is a much consistent team than CSK. They have a far better batting line up and good attacking spinners. CSK has Convey and the best captain in IPL MSD. I feel GT will go to finals if not then I feel CSK might pick this year trophy.
That was a big day.. in terms of consistent performance it is Gujarat Titans team for sure. CSK have performed good throughout the season, but its dependence over Convay is much. Matches in which Convoy fails, CSK suffer to make big runs. On the bowling side it doesn't have the players that have the confidence as that of Rashid Khan. The captaincy is the advantage that CSK holds at the moment, and we don't know how effective this gonna work in the qualifier. Earlier in the match between CSK and GT, it was a much comfortable win for Gujarat Titans winning by 5 wickets and 4 balls left in chasing 178 runs.

Based on the data regarding the matches played between the two, it looks like Newcastle United have won 57 matches out of 133 matches played between the two. Leicester City have lost three of its last four matches played against Newcastle United. Newcastle United at the third position itself a confirmation that today's match is going to be a win for them. Already match have begun and 10 minutes passed without a goal.
653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much does Bitcoin affect other cryptocurrency? on: May 22, 2023, 06:54:47 PM
Users who have travelled with cryptocurrency for a long will know about the reality of the market. Nowhere bitcoin push other cryptocurrencies down. It is the market that is developed to follow the footprints of bitcoin. This makes altcoins follow bitcoin and during the altcoin season we were able to experience bullish move with altcoins against the bitcoin market.

Altcoins were good and were developed for some purpose. Most of the time new cryptocurrencies were promoted making comparison against bitcoin. However none stay high in the market, so the base of bitcoin is very strong that it directs the rest of the market. Most of the time the development is the prime reason that make cryptocurrencies fail and it is not the bitcoin.

Today is historic for all people who love and believe in bitcoin. Every one that loves bitcoin deserves to mark this day with some sort of celebration, if not in  a big way, but in their own little way. Eating pizza is very appropriate for the day for those who can especially if they can pay with bitcoins. This day will always be remembered for the years to come and the value of the bitcoins will always be compared to the value of the present day each time. Bitcoin deserves to be celebrated.
It is the day bitcoin got rebirth. Maybe if that incident haven't happened, even now we could've seen bitcoin to be of some value. It might have never been this high. Previously we used to have more promotion and events connected with the day. This time we weren't able to see much of it. Laszlo Hanyecz, the guy who is the prime reason behind the incident enjoyed two Papa John's pizzas. Remembering the incident we were able to see more promotions availed on this day and cryptocurrency users remember it doing their own pizza's.
655  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: May 22, 2023, 06:17:29 PM
I think side jobs are very necessary, I feel it myself. I currently work as a private employee, and the salary I get is certainly not enough to meet all household needs, therefore I need a side job, especially when I have free time after I work at my main job. On the other hand, by having a side job, we are not worried if one day unexpected things happen, such as a reduction in employees, at least we can still have the side job that we have been doing so far. and for employees who already have a large salary, I think they also have to have a side job, of course they will have higher necessities of life that must be met every day. because basically people will find it more difficult to lower their lifestyle than to increase it
Be it side hustle or business, an employee needs another means money. There is high level of inflation in the society and if you are not a high ranked employee, your salary may not be able to sustain your needs and wants. This is the reason why everyone needs a sidel hustle as my country men will call it to sustain them.
More the streams of income, more will be the stability of life. The growing inflation is a major reason, another thing is to go with the development. When we have single income, then it is possible to have our life moving and there won't be life change or transition to next level of living. Just think of making a small earning through trading, it will separately add to our finance. What we earn primary will help in the survival whereas the additional earnings help with the betterment of life.

It would be very nice if Messi would play football here, but where 1 sheep is over the dam, many will follow as the saying goes. I wouldn't rule out that, to be honest. But perhaps not all footballers are only after money. In this competition you naturally have little challenge from a sporting point of view, only the Asian Champions League could still be a nice challenge, but apart from that it ends somewhere I think. And Ronaldo and Messi face each other again in a match, when will we see side by side again?
Messi would undoubtedly be the new King of this League, for now the reign is held by CR7, in general the areas have been very happy to see CR7 in action on their land, as far as I am concerned, it is the land where they are, I think that the best decision for CR7 is that he left for this Arab football, in Europe he may have done badly, if Ten Hag, who for me is a very bad coach, made him look bad, then I think he wanted to be famous at the expense From him, these things are not good, but it is clearly seen to be so, I hope that Messi can reach Arab football and can be protagonists alongside CR7, even against his team.
There is lot of discussion whether Messi will enter the Saudi Arabia Pro League or not. As said his presence will sure be big thing for the league after Ronaldo's entry. Earlier Ronaldo made a statement, it is time to have good football in the Asian circle and he have come for that. As his words, after him more people have begun to watch football where cricket is dominant. Messi supporting the same will help in the growth of more footballers. The talk about Ronaldo could've never been this high if he continued to play for Manchester United.
657  Economy / Economics / Re: The Role of Education in Financial Literacy on: May 21, 2023, 11:39:25 PM
IMHO, Education is just a preparation to become a potential candidate to have a day job but not for financial literacy. We can just learn Financial literacy if we already have some job experience and most of all, if we can talk or engage with businessmen. Because what it teaches in school is to become competitive and make good grades so we can easily get a job but not be encouraged to become an entrepreneur. But of course, a proper education can't lead you to success and so it was still important in our life.


Education as stated is not limited four walls of schools.  Though formal education is what you called it, another form of learning comes from informal education where the one being learned and trained is a personal capability and mostly relies on experience.   All the examples you have stated are an example of informal education.

All in all, whether it is formal or informal education, they both help us in learning and understanding what financial literacy is.

This is how what we learnt becomes effective. We'll understand the real concepts only when the theoretical learning meets with the real time application. This means the formal education lets a kid to know the need and the experience lets him choose the right decision to handle the situation.

With financial literacy things were made easier to understand through the technology advancement. In the past to know about specific calculation is a hard thing. There are people who are successful by their experience, and that doesn't mean education isn't necessary. Because there is difference in view over a problem by a educated person and an experienced person.
658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: May 21, 2023, 11:09:20 PM
Gambling ads mostly depend on the regional data. In my country we have got a big number of gambling platforms, and we can see ads related to gambling quite often. In recent days this has got decreased as our state have banned gambling platforms. Most of the times ads pop based on what we are watching and based on the area in which we've made more searches. Once we start reporting as inappropriate or repetitive, we can avoid getting those video ads.

Finally it was Medvedev vs Runs as the match against Tsitsipas ended 7-5 7-5. In the upcoming tournaments we can expect Alcaraz to reach the finals, if not we can see Rune playing it. The young players of tennis are very energetic and have got all capabilities to play good tennis and stay on the top for years. For now they should keep themselves away from injuries which were inevitable with sports.

Medvedev Vs Rune

The match is underway and one set has been completed. Medvedev is currently leading because he got the win in the first set. This is going to be a very close encounter between both of them. I honestly believe that this is going to be very close and also is going to go to the third set.

I also expected this match go to the third set. Fortunately Medvedev have won it earlier on direct set wins. In the second set Medvedev have got four match points as the points were 0 : 40. Finally 7-5 7-5 and the title is won by Medvedev, and Rune needs to learn more. In the previous encounter between the two, it was Rune who won the match and this time it is Medvedev.

In a must win match situation rain have interrupted in Chinnaswamy stadium which is the venue of the match between RCB and Gujarat Titans. In such hard situation luck isn't favouring RCB. The rain needs to stop at the earliest, if not the over reduction and pitch changes will surely make big impact on the match. If the match gets cancelled, one point will be shared to each team and this ends RCB with 15 points and Mumbai Indians easily qualify for the playoff as they've reached 16 points with the win against SRH.
The good news for RCB fans is that after the rain the outfield is fully ready for play and both teams have already entered the field for the game. Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to field. Today's match is very important for RCB. If RCB wins this match then they will secure number four in the points table and if today's match is lost or abandoned due to rain then Mumbai Indians will qualify. Because Mumbai Indians are at number four in the table with 16 points so far and if RCB can win today's match then RCB will have 16 points but considering NRR RCB will qualify for playoffs this is the equation. At the end of the first over, RCB collected 6 runs.
Finally rain haven't caused big disturbance. Even the overs weren't reduced which is the best thing and a lucky moment for RCB. It could've been a big disappointment for RCB supporters. This season of IPL hasn't got much disturbance out of weather. Only one match ended without result. RCB will play very carefully, atleast 200+ runs gives bowlers the opportunity to bowl well. When the target is low automatically the pressure can be seen high on the bowlers. In four overs RCB have reached 43/0 which looks good.
