1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Big caps privacy coins rose on: December 21, 2025, 03:54:42 AM
I'm just noticed if big caps privacy coins rose in this month despite Bitcoin and majority of other coins are in red. Not sure what's the reason why this one, I thought the price of Monero wouldn't increase after many centralized exchanges de-listed them.

Do people now care with their privacy or what?

Well despite the altcoins offer utility and use cases, there's no guarantee they will be successful, many of the coins are surviving, but their price keep declines. ARKM was the example, the project has a use case to track blockchain transaction and ownership, but now the price is just $0.2, the ATH was $3.

Let not narrow this argument down to only BNB despite that it may lack real world utilities and limited to the binance ecosystem alone for it usage, we have a lot of other coin that give both real world usage e.g XRP and staller, btw BNB also fall into that category as it provides both high utilities in the exchange and blockchain bsc BNB is used for the two.
Although Stellar might be the cheapest network for dApps, but most people aren't interested to use Stellar, which I think the project is failed.

Any native tokens are supposed to give discount/benefit for the users to use their exchanges, no need to mention this one.

5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: USDT or USDC or any other alternative? on: December 12, 2025, 11:59:43 PM
The other alternative is USDS.

But, if you think USDT or USDC is not safe, I would say other stablecoins are worse than them, so you're actually taking more risk of you buy other stable coins that I didn't mention.

I have hold USDC so far and there was no problem with that, even though I didn't hold USDT, but I see so far is fine.

There was a saying that its not your fault to be born as poor but it is your fault if you die poor, It is not fair for sure but life is just not fair that is just how it is. I mean as long as you do things to change things might be on your favor yes it is going to be difficult but you could surely do it if you belived on yourself. Anything is possible attract something and you could surely get it for sure

Relocating is a good option for sure in my country a lot of people relocate to other countries for a higher income and yes they actuslly earn a huge amount for sure but it is a huge risk, going to other country without a concrete plan.
You have to trade your mental health and you might be a bad person because you will always looking for benefit from every single thing you want to do. When you want to being friends with other people, you will see whether they have something that you don't have or not, if they have and want to help you, you will choose them over other people that don't have anything.

If you keep thinking moving to other country without a concrete plan is a huge risk, I doubt if you would move to other countries because you're thinking about the risk over believing yourself.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Most people in Bitcoin don’t care about tech they care about not being poor on: December 12, 2025, 11:54:24 PM
If people care about tech, they would use air-gapped wallet and no KYC P2P - DEX exchanges. However, in the reality I didn't see like that, only small amount of people use air-gapped wallet, while many people use non custodial but as hot wallet. Very small amount of people that really use no KYC P2P - DEX exchanges.

Hence, I no longer trust when people talk about tech, I usually check their other post whether they have a proof to show about it.

I think Rashford declined form at Manchester United wasn't entirely cause by Amorim, after all, he spoke about how the continuous changing of managers can be difficult for players.

He is getting his fit back in a club he likes after losing trust in his old club but I must say he is still in a overall difficult situation because Barcelona might not be having the capacity of signing him if they can't meet the asking price of signing him and it's not a new thing seeing players coming there from loan and doing well but still won't be signed.
You have to speak by data, I don't think he's getting his fit back.

In Aston Villa, 17 appearances and 4 goals.
In Barcelona, 21 appearances and 6 goals.

His performance is similar when he was in Aston Villa or is in Barcelona, I don't think Barcelona gonna sign him permanently.

Since his performance didn't change after moving to two teams, I would say the problem was on him.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Shutdown on: December 08, 2025, 05:48:34 PM
Casino shutdown is a common situation in countries where betting shops are illegal, but there are still clandestine casinos running their operations in apparently abandoned buildings. It always represent a risk for gamblers, because they might be inside the casino playing on the moment the police comes in to shut down the operations. Then there might be serious consequences for those gamblers, like fines, jail time or even moral prejudice towards the local community.
I think those serious consequences only happen to popular people especially influencers.

As a Average Joe, gambling in illegal casinos usually fine, it just you could have a problem when you want to withdraw your money through banks. Most of illegal casinos shutdown because they only break the countries laws, not due to not paying the gamblers or manipulating the system (probably didn't get caught yet).
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Junk bets on: December 08, 2025, 05:43:26 PM
Junk bets will add the spice in your gambling activity, there's no harm for doing that.

I have heard of that phrase before but I think it is not applicable here. It is because those 'junk bets' are not really a junk at all but the term junk, have only came from the OP. Some bettors can do an analysis and can confidently pick them up. Maybe if we are talking about underdogs in a game/team, then your phrase there can be applied because there are bettors that roots for them. It is either based on luck or done with analysis.
Well yeah if someone really spend time and effort to make research about the match they want to bet, it's not really a junk even though the chance to win is low. Junk bets should be a random or spontaneous pick where you don't really pay attention whether it will win or not.

Most poor people like to hang out with rich people because they think they will learn something from rich people like OP or many others are thinking. But honestly, I rarely see rich people accepting and enjoying hanging out with poor people. That's why I want to ask those who say we should hang out with rich people to learn, how do we approach them?
What I know the only way to hang out with people beyond our means is when we're at school and college. Why? because there are still school or college that affordable and favorite, so this will make poor people have a chance to join and make rich people interested because the school is good.

I won't mention courses because courses depends on how much money you spent.

After that you have to spent a lot of money to hang out with rich people because they like to go to aesthetic coffee shops, fancy restaurant, vacation etc.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can bitcoin afford to buy for you this Christmas 🎄 🎄 🎄 on: December 08, 2025, 04:25:04 PM
Anything, as long as I pay higher than the items I want to buy, I'm sure most of sellers will accept Bitcoin. Imagine you sell a car for $100,000 and after 2 months, no one buy it because it's too pricey for them. Then out of nowhere, a mysterious guy want to buy that car and he willing to pay $200,000 worth in Bitcoin, even you didn't even accept Bitcoin in the first place, the money offered by him would change your mind.

It's all about how much extra you want to pay, money solves problem.

in my country bitcoin is not generally acceptable in most of the shops because of government restrictions on bitcoin transaction directly to bank, but some shops also accept Bitcoin payment especially when you are buying in a large quantity
What does this mean, Bitcoin is illegal as a legal tender in your country? you're just risking yourself.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When emergency hits. Will you sell your bitcoin or borrow and keep holding? on: December 07, 2025, 05:23:45 PM
There can be a situation that would consume all you emergency funds and still need more money. Life is more precious than Bitcoin. You or your family members need to be alive and in good health for you to enjoy your money. If selling my Bitcoin will save the life of my child, I would gladly sell them. Yes, it took me so much effort to accumulate, however the pain of losing a loved one will be to much to bear.   
True.

Many people always think as long as we prepare, even the worst thing happen to our life, it won't ruin our life. However, preparation to fight against every possibility in this life. When there's a poor parent ask donation for their child, they will blame the parent for being irresponsible, they shouldn't have a child if they're not able to provide the child. But, the parent might be rich before and then after Covid lock down happen, their business collapse and no companies want to hire them to work either due to skill, age bracket, etc.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Your social life influences your future on: December 07, 2025, 04:50:10 PM
I disagree, even the richest people have friends they talk to, I doubt they would have something that would be keeping them only working, they just hang out less. There are no wealthy businessman out there who hangs out at the bar every single night, that makes no sense and they would not work.

Moreover, to get rich, you can't just work 8 hours a day like some normal worker, you work 16 hours a day 20 hours a day to make that work. For that reason I think it's clear that we are going to see this being a little different. If you want to be rich, you work a lot that is true, but for example you can stop working for one night a week on Saturday nights, even if not for every weekend, you can do that for one or two weekends a month.
Rich people only hangout with rich people and the reason why want to hangout is to make a deal, they're not hangout for having fun and didn't gain anything which is a pure friendship, a pure friendship only happen in childhood and mostly in middle class people.

I don't think rich people work for 16 hours or 20 hours, they have a system to make people work for them.

Rich people work to watch the system is working or not, if they don't want to upgrade/expand their business, they will work less because they don't need to think about idea.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling activities as a path to curb irresponsible decision making in adults. on: December 07, 2025, 04:22:04 PM
I believe if someone is irresponsible in real life, they will also being irresponsible in gambling. So, if you ask them to gambling, that's not really the best solution.

There's a better solution and easy to do which is toss a coin. Make sure to only have two choices, then put the option A on tails and option B on heads, after that toss the coin and call it in the air. When the coin is in the air, some people will make decision rather than pick tails or heads because they will value both advantages and disadvantages in short time. Hence, the decision would be made when the coin is still in the air rather than when the coin fall to the ground.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is more disastrous? Winning/Losing Streak. on: December 07, 2025, 04:11:45 PM
Losing streak.

Why? in winning streak you have two choices, either you withdraw your profit or you run out of bankroll. Other other hand, in losing streak, you only have one choice which is run out of bankroll.

It's not only in winning streak that the gambler increase the bet size, during losing streak some gambler increase their bet size especially if they use martingale strategy.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's reasons could explain this message from any bet platform? on: December 07, 2025, 03:59:01 PM
I don’t get why this was even brought here.

Are you trying to quiz us or something?

Why not just ask the sportsbook you’re actually using and tell them the issue? You’ll get a proper answer there. Here we don’t even know what sportsbook you’re talking about. You want us to guess and then reward whoever gets it right?  Grin
True, this is the second time I see someone asking about a casino while they didn't even ask the live support first. Not all users in this forum work in the casino or have experience to work in the casino, most users here are promoters and have never touch the operational jobs.

@OP before you ask to the public, ask to the live support first, forum is mostly to seek for an opinion or comparison, not a specific solution.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 07, 2025, 10:22:49 AM
I got wrong about Como this time... I thought they wouldn't lose by a big score at least but they did. Actually they found a couple of big chances after their opponent got 1-0 ahead. But wasting those all didn't end up well for them...
Como can give a fight, they actually dominating the match, but their front line are useless. Morata is rubbish, 15 match 0 contribution and he went injured. Douvikas is just a mediocre player, he might be good for substitution, Como have to find their main striker.

Fiorentina will struggle to climb out of the relegation zone this season, having yet to win a single match. It's almost the end of the year, but their performance shows no signs of recovery. While Fiorentina still has time to climb out of the relegation zone especially with the season still so far away there's a lot of work to be done, especially regrouping their players, coaches, and management. Fiorentina's problems this season are complex. Therefore they must work together to overcome them.
Honestly it's easy to get rid from relegation zone, with just few wins, they would be safe.

The competition in bottom position is easy, hence most teams who regularly play in top tier won't relegated even their performance went bad. What they need to do is to change the coach, because the players they currently have were played in the last season and their performance were good.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: The UK trained thousands of doctors, then told them: sorry, no jobs on: December 06, 2025, 05:34:29 PM
Jobs shortage only happen when the salary offered by the companies can't be accepted by the prospective workers.

I'm sure the doctors who graduated from UK colleges have a good quality, if UK is really don't need them anymore, they can fly to other countries including the developing countries. I believe they will get a job, but I know most of them didn't want to work in developing countries. Roll Eyes
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: IN THE GAME OF SCORE NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ANY CLUB. on: December 06, 2025, 05:24:32 PM
There is nothing more dangerous than a team that is determined to win, it doesnt matter if they are the underdogs. Todays match between aston villa and arsenal proves that no team should be underestimated, almost everyone thought arsenal would win easily but the opposite of that happened. Leeds was also considered as the underdogs but surprisingly they were able to dominate the game
Even though it's normal to think Arsenal will win, but if someone predict Aston Villa will win, they really made analysis on this match.

Couple things need to highlight:
1. Aston Villa have 6 win streaks.
2. They play at their home.

Which mean, Aston Villa are in good shape at the present.

But, how about Leeds vs Chelsea? Leeds had 4 lose streaks and Chelsea were undefeated in the last 7 match, despite the match held in Leeds' home, but it's nothing. It's a pure luck of match fixing.
