Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your habits, for they become your character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. ... Most sports are ultimately about the practice, about repeating an action over and over and over again, so that actions become habits and habits become character.

You already violated the first part - which is "Watch your thoughts, for they become words."

From reading your post, I would assume that you are looking for advise on something you already know: that you are too lazy or tired to exercise. In short, nothing I say will ever change your mind because only YOU can change your mind.

You have to begin with that part. So instead of saying "I just don't find energy to go doing sports" think creatively and destroy that mental barrier.

You can think of creative ways to "force myself to exercise"

Do you ride a train, car, or ride whatever to work?

If yes, have you ever considered walking instead? How far are you willing to walk and what changes do you anticipate?

I said, walk, even though walking to work or going home, is not really a sport - it is something simple you can start with. Once you graduate from walking, then that's the time you can level up to a real sport.

You also have to remember that physical energy is not the only thing that you need. You also need mental and emotional energy.

If you think about it, if you work a desktop job and sit all day, your body is not actually doing any physical work in terms of movement - your mind is. Therefore your mind is the one mostly at work. So what do you do, say, and think to your own mind, that would convince it, that hey, you still have 5% of thinking left, can we use it to convince our body to walk?

Make it an imperative

By convincing yourself that you need to walk, you have to "prime" your mind that first of all, it still has energy to make your body walk. Anticipate, what this would mean: minutes lost, sweating, hydrating especially if it is hot and more. Visualize your pathway, visualize the people who will be there, how many minutes it would take, how terrible or good you might feel, how sore or not your foot will be, what will you be wearing, etc, etc. The devil is in the details. Once you are able to visualize and imagine this scenario, actualize it.

A key element here is time.

You have to visualize precisely the chain of events that would catapult you to getting yourself to exercise. What will stop you? Yourself! How will you start? When will you start? What will you do before, during and after?

Imagination is the first step to your success.

Haven't tried it. Sir, if you are 52 I'd reckon that you'd want to actually enjoy the twilight of your life. Gambling is addictive and if you are new to crypto -

it is very inadvisable to engage in crypto gambling.

I can understand that you want some insight into the site, and here's my personal opinion, I haven't tried it. So to somewhat assist you here's my personal take:

1. I actually went and visited the site and noted the 5 letter domain. Judging from the high powered domain name, I'd roughly estimate the value of the domain (the website's name) to be roughly, 6 to 8 digits in value. This means that the name of the website is really expensive.

2. So what? You'll ask. Well, if a website domain is expensive, it means that the owner needs to recoup his expenses in maintaining the site and has to make money from business generated on it. Take that what information you will.

3. Based on the chat box and visitor count on the site - it has a significant amount of players.

4. Most of the games are casino related, and I noticed that there are no sports or esports. Dice, Baccarat, blackjack, etc. Now, I have a question myself to you. As a non crypto person, would you entrust your "fate" or ability to win, on an unseen algorithm that will decide for you?

5. It seems that the site is "reputable" - having a strong domain name - is 1 indication that they are a serious player in the space, so I would assume, not based on experience, that yes, if somehow you manage to win, you will be able to withdraw your earnings.

6. Sometimes google can help. Here's how it works: in google, type these:

(Name of website) plus (bad word or whatever you fear is going to happen to you)

Try it!

We have to remember Mr. Trump's career before he became the President. He was a real estate mogul and a master showman. As funny as it sounds, Trump announced this to test how the environment would react. Sometimes, this bluff plays to his advantage as the real players take notice and begin to make their moves.

According to CNBC - bitcointalk keeps removing the src link, so figure out the link yourself.


In truth, the idea is not really all that absurd if we factor out other components such as Greenland's population of 57,000 - which is actually very small when compared even to small US cities.

As a real estate person, Trump knows that location is everything in business - and in a macro sense- the economy. By "floating" a seemingly "absurd" or "naive" idea, he may have nudged the US' competitors China, Russia and others. From this we can see, that Trump actually believes in climate change!

Oh wow, I just got that idea now. Yes, yes! Trump believes in Climate change but is lying about it:

"Greenland’s growing strategic value is linked tightly to new North Atlantic shipping lanes opening up due to melting polar ice caps"

So, in anticipation of the polar caps melting and the opening of new shipping lanes, there is much money to be made especially when you have exclusivity in its maritime waters.

“He who controls the spice controls the universe.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune.

It is about money.

But it is also about psychology, sociology, politics, religion and jobs.

There are many factors and it would take quite a while to research on scholar.google.com to get them all out. Besides some of them could actually contradict each other. Here's what's really happening:

"Murder" is a spiritual sin. Even if you do not have a religion, murder casts a shadow on your moral compass, your "true North" so to speak. Especially in an unjustified setting. Now, honestly speaking - in all societies, there will be a certain percentage of individuals that have that "aggressive" gene. These are your people who either become your Navy Seals, Marines or Delta Force, these are in short, your warrior class. Now, not all of the warrior class realizes this potential and together with the environment plus a lack of discipline, plus psychological trauma (such as bullying, isolation and the perverted sense of reality on the Internet - guess what happens to this potential warrior class? They become aggressive.

But there is another factor at play here, and that is the huge amount of money the weapons industry is making, and the military industrial complex.

What would happen if you pass legislation that would negatively affect tens of thousands of workers and thousands of businesses?

What would happen if you outlaw an entire industry by trying to dismantle "an entire culture" that is built around it?

Suddenly, this complex industrial-culture, with its political bases, traditions, norms and economic model will disintegrate, thereby creating a vacuum in the economy.

These are some numbers published by the NSSF:

Economic Impact of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Industry in the United States
Direct   Supplier   Induced   Total
Jobs (FTE)   149,146   62,827   100,018   311,991

We covered just one aspect and that is the economic implications - and the reason why so many lobbyist with great sophistry, meme making and punch line skills still win, despite all the body count.

It's mostly about the money.

As to your next question, "Why are these people feel the need to go on a killing spree?"

It varies from person to person. If you are the type of person who has never felt the urge to do this, then you are a happy person. A happy, moral and emotionally healthy person will not go on a killing spree. The people who do this are mostly below a certain age - save with a very few exceptions.

Imagine you are an adolescent teenager, who gets bullied, mocked and physically hurt BOTH at home and in school. Then there's no way to take out all these frustrations. Now imagine, if you are able to acquire a means to "settle" the score so to speak. A gun, ends all mockery, ends all the pain (murder-suicide), ends the existence of those that cause your pain and creates a false sense of "justice" as often portrayed in entertainment media.

You get an opportunity for vengeance at all the wrong things that person perceives in society.

It's similar to road rage and PTSD, and is mostly psychological in nature.

Yes and No. Why? Politics. Again, if you craft legislation or laws that will make a lot of people lose millions or even billions of dollars, you will possibly be NOT-VOTED again in the next election. What is currently happening is that leaders fed up by the mass shootings and leaders who realize the economic impacts are going head to head against each other - and ending up in unsatisfactory "compromises" which will not really impact this situation.

So, the cycle continues and we get to see another post until the next one.

Politics is quite more complicated. What we see in the media, I believe is only less than 10% - and I mean that in a non-conspiracy theory way. There are just sooo many "actors" or participants that have individual stakes, interests, agendas on the matter. So to narrow the issue down to your question, "Can Trump liberate Hong Kong from China?"

To which the TLDR answer is "No."

But of course, we know that it's more complicated than that. Because of these premises:

• China is a sovereign state with one of the largest standing armies in the world.
• Hong Kong is legally a territory of China under the Sino-British Joint Declaration which was registered in the United Nations

 

Next up, we have to be clear with the language we use. What exactly do we mean when we say "liberate?".

Do we mean forcing a political solution that would grant the HKers, democratic rights and freedoms?

Do we mean that the United States will launch a military attack and station ground troops in Hong Kong?

As much as we feel for the HKers and wish them their freedom, reality is not as simple as it may seem.

One thing leads to another, and we end up turning one of the foremost commercial centers in the world into a dustbin of dead bodies plus a third world war.

But if we do mean the first option, it becomes rather a tricky situation. By legal definition, what is happening in Hong Kong, is slowly - but not yet turning into a rebellion, or a secession. We skipped a few logical steps there because of the complexity of the situation. It's something that nobody wants to talk about - that Hong Kong, literally must find a peaceful way to do this because China will not cede territory simply because its inhabitants want freedom.

Consider this analogy, what if a majority of the entire State of Texas, suddenly wants to secede from the United States? There would be millions of people rallying in Houston and San Antonio, chanting "We want out!". Then they suddenly go to the Russian or Chinese embassy and sing their respective national anthems. Then you could ask, "Can Xi JinPing or Vladimir Putin "liberate" Texas from the US?"

This is probably how China sees the situation. And it gets even more complicated because of the ongoing trade war.

America, can only watch and "influence" the United Nations, but know in mind that China is a part of the UN security council and therefore has veto powers over any resolution that could be put forward. Any political decision that will lead to "freedom for Hong Kong" will not be as easy, sad to say.

Actually, I think every one talks about these things too much sometimes. You just have to go on cryptotwitter subscribe to coindesk or cointelegraph, and the bad news will keep pouring in.

• Wash trading, check!
• Insider trading, check!
• Scamming, check!
• Fake volume, check!
• Fake deaths, check!
• Mt. Goxxing, check!

The truth is, sometimes, the money will blind people with the opportunity to "live their dream life" and it often ends badly. But at the end of the day, it's not the 'exchanges' per se, that perpetrate these things - it's humans. For as long as humans, are tempted with greed, are weakened by desire, then things like these will continue to happen.

A coin that is way way way undervalued is Quantis ($Quan).

Now at 12 Satoshis.   

Considering that development is very active with a lot of new developers working on the project, plus the upcoming innovative QHost and MasternodeX - projects that will bring something totally new to the masternode space. Generally masternodes are incentivized full nodes and are viable passive income generators if you know what you are doing.

Maybe he knows a referee. But in all seriousness, this is just sad. When people bet in sports, it's not just to make money. Okay fine, maybe it is about 50% about the money, but for others, it's also to spice up the game. Nothing could be more exciting than watching a game with friends with a few beers and snacks, betting a few, and winning.

Fixers sort of ruin the game and all the fun.

And the comment by the last poster makes sense, if the poster had insider information, wouldn't he use this and bet instead of peddling this information to random strangers? Unless, he is also playing a game of statistics, and playing the "there's one fool, out of every one thousand?"

I feel so sorry for people living in these conditions. It is simply... literally.. hard to live and make a living in such hostile conditions. I would understand why, so many try to leave this place. See the crucial contradiction here is that "nationalism", in terms of national identity, can be perverted into "racism" and xenophobia.

Indeed there are many precedents in history for this kind of occurrence. Sadly, if we go to other countries, we will see the same pattern over and over and over ad infinitum. Tribal identification prevails over any sense of civic mindedness. Blood is thicker than water so to speak.

At this juncture, I can only wish the people living in such my best, and hope you can leave and migrate to a more peaceful country.

I would echo this comment right after the original poster's:


Social media has been weaponized and as such, we must all learn to do our own research. DYOR.

I realize that this may not be toeing the anti-establishment line, but in the absence of professional media what exactly do we have?

We have everyone who has more than 500 followers a credible chance to inform, but also to "misinform". Add to that the capability to create reverberating echo chambers and social media becomes the ultimate fear giver. What does aging Europe and North America fear the most? Why migration of course! Migration of well meaning and oftentimes more educated Asians, Middle Easterns and Africans - this is the same fear that was created when the slave trade persisted in the past.

Without professional media, what set of ethics does the average social media "influencer" adhere to? Claiming that it's simply the truth, is a dangerous proposition.

On the other hand, we must balance what we consume with a healthy skepticism.

Well, maybe it is from a certain point of view, but then again, it was modern capitalism that brought us, mass produced cars, industrial jobs, trains, airplanes, computers, iphones, macs, hell everything.

The Anarchy sign points to a rather narrow point of view, that we do not need "states" or a centralized authority to "manage violence".

Trust me, if you live in a slum, you want the meanest and biggest son of a .... keeping all the other son of a .... in line. You don't want a libertarian yelling, "Please, please, let us all cooperate and volunteer to share all the good that we do on Earth."

This kind of thinking could lead to several kinds of dystopia.

I support freedom for the people of Hong Kong, but this is just extreme. We have to snap back to reality. Without Hong Kong's geographical advantage, it would be a modern day Somalia, if the capitalists did not put their money there.

This is not going to catch on. Entire industries, McDonalds, KFC, most fast food, and industrial farms - are going to be affected. But I surmise, having a meatless society could be a net positive for the environment as there would be less nitrogen and methane produced by animal poop. But then again, it would take an entire generation of people to get rid off their meat addiction. As somebody was apt to point out earlier, meat is an essential part of the human diet.

And by George, does fried chicken and tenderloin taste good!

Sometimes these so-called "anti-statist" posts amuse me for their controversial claims. Having gone over the previous comments, I surmises that there's a conspiracy page here somewhere which I'm afraid, I'd have to say "pass" to.

I'm pretty sure that the world's best and brightest accountants and lawyers are trying to 'solve' these taxation concerns using whatever means possible. But in truth, many of them will eventually fail and get discovered.

Google tried it, Apple tried it, Amazon tried it - and once it gets discovered, the media publishes the story. If it doesn't get media mileage and public furor, other like-minded smaller business entities try to copy and emulate. Eventually, the sheer number of corporate identities doing the "really effective tax avoidance" scheme, gets found out, because of an idealistic insider, a investigative media reporter or simply because the system failed.

Two things you cannot avoid: death and taxes.

Unless. Maybe. Unless, you are a stateless entity.

But even stateless entities or individuals, need to have a place of residence right? And in making an income through work, business or investment must disclose this information. Even if you somehow manage to not disclose that, when you buy things in certain countries, the act of buying has an automatic de facto "tax" imposed on it, that's already been factored into the price of the good.

Even then! If somehow through sheer perspicacity you manage to avoid all of those, if you live in a failed state such as say, Somalia, taxes come in other coercive forms made through the local militias. In short, as long as your assets and identity are tied to a normal functioning state, it will by means of force, coercion and whatever means at its disposal - find a way to tax you, whether you like it or not.

I heard that Wikipedia can be downloaded and it would only take 40GB (If there are no images). It may be possible as the poster noted above, to move Wikipedia to a blockchain, but it has its technical challenges. As it stands however, I think the current direction Wikipedia is heading is towards self-sustainability. So, you got to hand it to them as they keep their services running.

The best thing to do really, right now, is to donate to Wikipedia. They need it.

Nothing could be as bad ass as an Arrma remote control car. But what's more badass, is if you make money from it!

How do I make money from my Remote Control Car, you may ask?

Furthermore, the question really is,

"How do I earn Bitcoins from my Remote Control Car?"

I got a friend, who's a rc hobbyist and crypto project manager, who's way into RCs and anything that moves fast really.

Check out his video:

> > > New Arrma Limitless Reveal < < <

See, he owns the related premium domain name, > > > BitcoinRCS.com.

But before that, he also owned cryptokitties.com which sold for $30,000.

Check out this persuasive, Bitcoin.com article:


That's right, seven figures.

Then there's the business model. You've got the domain name, then its time to earn some bitcoins:

• Setup an online shop selling RCs for Bitcoin
• Offer services related to maintenance, repairs, etc.
• After a year or two, if the business matures, then you not only have a premium crypto domain you also have a viable business model to sell. -

The possibilities are there for the taking, you just have to improve, improve, innovate then you can earn profit in Bitcoins!

Personally, I can't wait for QHost and MasternodeX to launch. Today was my payday, and as a freelance writer and graphic designer, I make it a point to invest 10% of my active income in a #passiveincome endeavor.

I chose Quantis.

Frankly, rich people are fairly cautious. Fooled me once, shame on you. Fooled me twice...

It is safe the assume that a hefty percentage of the world's rich internet users have heard of Bitcoin and have dabbled in it, one way or the other. Some may view it as a speculative asset. But with the price swings and 2017 ICO bust, many may have felt the sting of large losses.

Rich friends tell rich friends tell rich friends and boom... Bear market.

It's been 10 years in since Satoshi Nakamoto first gave us Bitcoin, and most governments are still trying to learn how to deal with it. By nature, government will have a very huge impact on adoption. By force of law, "fiat" as defined literally means, "because we say so". How much is a US dollar? A US dollar is worth so and so, because the US government says so - coupled with other market forces. So "acceptance" becomes a matter of "force of law". This is debatable of course, but absent this "force" factor, "adoption/acceptance" becomes an optional matter. By default most people will generally opt for the currency that is considered as "legal tender" for various legal and trading purposes.

If you visit discord https://discord.gg/thtDzqN I think, this was discussed and explained by mastertrader777.  

From the top of my head though, I believe that the premine was staking and helps fund the coin's development goals. The main thrust for the coin, is its usage as a masternode currency for QHost and MasternodeX. The approach is unique and the team has recently bolstered its ranks with more developers in order to meet its goals.

In retrospect, a recent article on CoinDesk, mentioned that many "mainstream" and bigger coins, are having problems paying their developers. To quote:


This was taken from https://www.coindesk.com/as-crypto-markets-go-cold-who-will-pay-for-open-source-code?

That's one justification for the premine = development funding for upcoming projects.

I mean look at Litecoin, didn't Charlie Lee, sell at the top when LTC was at an all time high, and in a recent leak, admitted to having no development updates on litecoin? Having healthy funding to pay for developers, list the coin on exchanges (they charge quite a lot!) and further push the agenda of the coin - does not happen for free.

Developers have to eat too!

In the ideal world, we see blockstream which does a hefty amount of development for Bitcoin - how do they earn? What do they do to get paid? What is their revenue model? We have to get realistic. Even if cryptocurrencies are in spirit, open source projects, there's the human element that needs to be addressed.

Such is the essence of capitalism.
