Who has officially canceled covid, I think this is a big turnover of money in healthcare, but there are many indicators that a new pandemic is possible. To what extent does this correspond to reality, measles is also multiplying, will the world be covered by new diseases on a large scale? Or is it an economic process?
Imminent? Not necessarily but it's still a major threat that has not gone away. It might be in a year, it might be in 50, but it will likely happen again because viruses and bacteria are always evolving as they pass through different bodies. They learn, adapt and overcome as they try to simply survive or even increase their infectability. The climate is also changing which could mean that some viruses that previously did not transfer well could start to exist in new environments. The interconnectedness of the world today means that it can spread on a scale never seen before. |

Long story short, 2 months after the whole winning spree, this guy lost everything back to casinos where he gambled on, he made gambling his day job, probably increased his bets so as to win more, but as of today, this guy is joblessly roaming the streets, depend solely on friends to feed, as of yesterday when I overheard him discussing with some one I am also close to, he was asking to help him look for a Job, that what he planned didn't work out - what ever he planned that didn't work out, I don't know, but this is a lesson for us all to learn from. Gambling is not a business, and neither should you ever take it as a day job, in reference to this thread - it is likely impossible to make a consistent winning from gambling, there are day you win, even much more than $100, and there are days you will lose it all, to make a consistent $100 or more every day in gambling is a mirage, wishful thinking that might never happen. Feel free to chip in your contribution. I think you really need to separate gambling into two categories - bets over which you have some control and bets where you have no control. The vast majority of casino games fall into the second bracket, the casinos have engineered it so they will always win in the long run due to a weighted advantage in their favor - although you might get lucky short term. Then there are skill based games like poker and even sports betting to a degree, where you may be able to eek out a small advantage if you follow some sort of strategy. |

The job market has become extremely competitive in the past few years, while the increasing cost of living and low wages are forcing people to move abroad for a chance at a better future. Personally, I believe the economic conditions in Greece have been deteriorating; groceries, rent, and fuel have skyrocketed while the available income keeps shrinking. People with degrees are struggling to find jobs in their field that pay above the minimum wage and offer benefits such as paid vacation and humane working conditions.
Moving abroad isn't an easy decision; there are several factors to take into account, with the most important one being the language barrier. I only speak English; moving anywhere apart from the USA and UK would be a huge challenge because I'd have to learn a new language from scratch. Moreover, you'd have to take into account the increasing living costs of Germany compared to Greece, which means that you must have saved enough money until you manage to get settled in one place.
I'm really in a dilemma about what would be best for me. I'll be out in the job market in a few months after I finish with my mandatory military enlistment, and I'm unsure of what challenges and opportunities I'm going to face. I don't want to spend my life living from paycheck to paycheck. It's a good thing that I also have Bitcoin; otherwise, I'd be doomed. There's still something to believe in.
So far, in my opinion, the best option for work seems to be online, especially if it has flexible hours and a working schedule. You can work from wherever and whenever you want, provided you get the job done. Digital nomads have been increasing over the past few years, and it seems like a perfect opportunity that provides work-life balance. I believe that it's something that would suit my personal needs. I want to travel and explore as many destinations as possible, so working a regular 9-5 job with 20 vacation days per year isn't going to cut it.
So yes, would you consider moving abroad for a better future? Would you try to find a way to stay in your country, either through online work or by accessing all possible opportunities?
It's really strange how you've written all this. Are you American military personnel based in Greece and expecting to move back to America? If so, you might be unlikely to get a working Visa to visit Europe again unless you have a very useful skill or qualification. Anyone who has lived in Europe for a while would know that it's possible to travel to most countries in the bloc even if you only know English, besides that you should make a bit of effort to assimilate and learn at least the basics of the language in any country you visit. What sort of "digital nomad" job are you expecting to be able to jump into? It's a highly competitive area and unless you can carve out a little niche in advance, then it'll take you a while to build up a sustainable income. |

Greetings! My name is Max Hoffman I am interested in the https://bithound.io/de/casino/national-casino/ and would like more information about it. I wonder how reliable and safe this online casino site is. Are there any independent reviews or verifications that confirm its legitimacy? I would also like to know what types of cryptocurrencies are accepted and what fees or commissions are charged for deposits and withdrawals. In addition, I would like to know if there are any specific restrictions or limitations for players from certain countries and what types of games are available on the platform. Are the games fair and transparent? Is there an RNG test that guarantees the randomness of the game results? And finally, is it safe to play at this online casino site? Is my personal information and cryptocurrencies safe and secure? Would you recommend playing on this platform or are there other crypto casino websites that are safer or more reliable? Thank you in advance for your help and information. Kind regards. This looks like a fake and dirty way to advertise this site. My question to you would be - why are you so particularly interested in this site, what makes it attractive or is in any way unique about it which would draw your interest? There are dozens of very high profile crypto sites here with long histories to back them up, so why are you bothering with one that you're unsure about? Nobody can give definitive answers to your questions, because it might survive long term or it might get wiped out by the owners or external forces. Stick with one of the long term sites here, which have many years worth of history behind them or risk losing all of your money to a newcomer - the answer seems quite obvious. |

Last week, I met one of my uncles-in-law who has been a sailor for many years. In the past decade, he has been out of town and travelling all over the world to make a living. He has two children to raise and being a father who is always absent from their growing-up, he somehow does not know how to get along with his kids once he is back home once a year. In this transition period, usually like one month or two, he will find him some odd jobs to make money to support his family. Unfortunately in this economic downturn, it is very difficult to find a job so he is quite upset now. Staying at home means no income and this makes my aunt very anxious. This uncle is in mid fifties and he is one of the most diligient people I've ever known. Ever since he was young, he would always keep busy doing all kinds of jobs to make money. I have to say that he made some savings for some years but it was most used up by sending his daughter to study overseas. Under today's economic condition, he has to wait more time to be assigned onboard and it is said his salary will be slashed big next time he has an offer. Well, to make a living, he has to accept that. He used to be a happy-go-lucky guy and always have a smile every day, last week I saw him, he was more like silent and upset.
As he ages, the window for him is closing. I never saw him encounter any financial problem because he has been diligient and frugal. This meet-up has completely changed my mind. Even people like him are struggling financially and we'd better prepare a comfortable life for the old version of ourselves. This uncle is still doing okay although with some struggles but I am sure there are millions who are broke and wish they could have made and saved more money when they were young. Always plan for the future. What do you think ?
I always find stories like these strange but very real to many people around the world. This person sounds like they had or have a big income, so should definitely have been able to build up a pension over their long career. What on earth were they spending all their money on in that time or have they got ownership of a large expensive house in lieu of any other assets? Some people have a large property which they can then downsize on when retiring, to unlock a lot of wealth. Most jobs these days have some sort of pension scheme, so maybe he has that in the background and it will cover at least a base amount each month so they can live frugally if not the same opulent lifestyle as before. |

The transaction fee on Bitcoin is increasing day by day. It cost now 14$ for a low-priority transaction to 17$ for high priority transaction. I was planning to make a deposit today on my casino account until I notice the high fee on my electrum sent tab. The fee is almost 5% of my total bankroll that I was supposed to deposit. I decided to rest for now since I will be down immediately by 5% for a transaction that I don't know when will gonna be confirmed.
Is anyone still playing today with this high fee? I think those gamblers that leave funds in the casino are very happy that they didn't need to experience this fee drama.
I could imagine this will be highly damaging for Bitcoin and has identified a substantial weakness in cryptocurrency designed this way in general. The only way that crypto can compete with fiat currency is if transaction fees stay somewhat low and competitive with fiat payment processors, people might be willing to spend 5% to have this decentralized option but not 15-20% over. It's a shame that the pointless NFT's are yet again ruining the day and wasting peoples money, even those cannot be sustainable at these prices. I wonder if the network will be able to improve or they will stop filling up the blockchain with this garbage, maybe the developers need to step in with a solution to discourage it. |

Couple of hours ago there is in news on Twitter saying BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are developing a new currency. It was mentioned by State Duma Deputy Chairmen btw.
As I can see all these things to manipulate BTC right? What are your thoughts about this?
The only country with a powerful enough economic background to create a reserve country in the "BRICS" (a meaningless grouping of countries by the way, as they are widely disparate and have tenuous economic links) is China. India is never going to enter into any sort of monetary union with China because they are both rivals in Asia trying to wrestle the most power in the region. South Africa is a legitimate, but fairly small economic power in the scheme of things. It would make more sense if some Middle Eastern countries were within the grouping but they are clearly missing too. It's a very flawed methodology to imply these countries would ever willingly share a currency. |

Are you tired of dealing with the headaches of traditional sports betting platforms? From long processing times to high transaction fees, it can be frustrating trying to place a simple bet on your favorite team. But what if we told you there's a better way?
Enter Bitcoin sportsbooks. By opening an account with a Bitcoin sportsbook, you can enjoy a more convenient and secure betting experience. Here are just a few reasons why:
Quick and easy transactions: With Bitcoin, deposits and withdrawals are lightning fast. No more waiting days or even weeks for your funds to clear. You can make a deposit and start betting in minutes.
Lower fees: Traditional sportsbooks can charge high fees for processing transactions, cutting into your winnings. Bitcoin sportsbooks typically have lower fees, meaning you keep more of your profits.
Increased security: Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a decentralized blockchain, which means they're virtually impossible to tamper with. This added layer of security helps protect your funds and personal information.
Don't miss out on the future of sports betting. Open an account with a Bitcoin sportsbook today and start enjoying the convenience and security you deserve.
It's interesting you mention lower fees, because we are currently seeing a massive spike in the cost of transacting in bitcoin. It cost me $10 to settle a $65 trade this morning and that certainly is not sustainable. Unless these prices come down soon it could prove ruinous for the future success of cryptocurrency, all because some people want to abuse the Blockchain in new ways and trade junk NFTs. Hopefully the developers find a fix to this because it's at damaging cost levels right now. |

In some conversations that I have had with some rich people who are old, they most times always say that they invested in real estate and that was how they made some fortune. Young people understand that investing is key and paramount to securing a better future like these Old rich men did then, But the question now is what exactly to invest in for young people. Is it wise to follow in the steps of the old rich men who had investments in Real Estate, or do they completely now invest in cryptocurrency? The answer is sometimes traced to the one that offers the lowest risk and loss of capital.
The less riskier from Real Estate and cryptocurrency is Real Estate, but less risk,, less reward. The risk that come with the higher volatility of cryptocurrency makes the profit that can be gotten bigger. Will you go for less risk, or big profit?
Slow and steady wins the race, as they say. It might be better to acquire wealth and knowledge of how to keep it over time than to try high risk gambles with your money, possibly get very lucky but then lose it all again later because you think you have a special skill instead of it being blind luck. Building wealth brick by brick can, like buying small amounts of shares over a long time, can be important for building a strong foundation to your finances. That being said, it's a lot easier to try and fail when you're younger, because you have more time to rebuild. |

I am just curious about how does online casino pay for their promotion on their influencers? Where does their earning comes from? How will you get scammed when you try online casino? How can you tell that online casino is safe?
Casinos make a lot of money once they reach a certain size, easily supporting a staff of dozens - if not hundreds of people in different roles. We see crypto casinos advertising with the biggest Premier League clubs in the world at the moment with contracts that cost many millions to set up. The whole premise of a casino is to draw in money while giving the customer some form of entertainment, along with a tiny chance of winning more money than they put in. The money comes from customers, who you might say are blinded by greed and in some cases addicted to chasing "easy money" - there seems to be a lot of such people out there. If you stick with the biggest brand names you are generally safe. |

I hope that on this day all of you are always healthy and can still carry out activities as usual with great comfort, because here at the end of Indonesia where I am experiencing flooding due to continuous rain for the last 12 hours and causing puddles in several villages that are very close with the outskirts of the city as well as being very close to the river. Usually we say that rain is a blessing for farmers, but excess water is a disaster for everyone so that it hampers the activities of all local residents and will obviously greatly affect their economic cycle.
Some of the residents' land belonging to farmers around here have been flooded and hopefully the rain will stop soon and the puddles can recede soon and I hope the local government will be able to handle this properly soon. Because at the beginning of the year we always feel excessive rain and that really suits the weather here where the rainy season here always occurs at the end to the beginning of the year.
As an ordinary person, I also feel the impact of this because when the floods hit, people who usually sell snacks on the side of the road also cannot carry out their usual activities because they are all busy looking after their own homes and those around them. Hopefully this does not happen at your place and especially elsewhere in Indonesia.
I think we'll start to see much more dramatic weather cycles in future and it is, as always, going to affect the poorest the worst. Too little rain or too much rain can be equally damaging, but some countries are very poor at resource management because of government corruption or incompetence, are likely to be worse off. We are going to see more extreme weather events due to warming, the ice caps melting and certain areas which are close to sea level might actually be lost for this reason. These things can be mitigated somewhat by improving infrastructure to deal with flooding, but it's an expensive business and sometimes people don't reinvest money wisely into their future like they should. |

I'm not an expert when it comes to different terms in sportsbook and gambling. I usually place bets on X to win, X to score etc in cricket and soccer both. I have never seen the terms "back" and "lay" in any Casino. Maybe I didn't notice them. I joined a casino today and found both terms and I'm confused what should I do. It says back (1.03) and Lay (1.04). What does these terms mean? Any easy explanation?
I think this terminology is mainly referred to in "matched betting" where you are trying to maximize welcome bonuses and walk away with guaranteed winnings. If two sites are offering $100 in free bets, you take advantage by placing bets with only two outcomes at two different gambling sites, lose a little bit of money in the process but then unlock a large amount of money in free bets. Repeat that with the free bets you unlocked and you cover your small loss plus a nice amount on top. That's probably the easiest way to describe how you do it. Outside of matched betting, if you've placed a bet and think the odds of it winning have shifted, you might want to cut your losses by laying a bet elsewhere in a similar manner. |

Shrinkflation is practice of reducing the size of a product while maintaining its sticker price. I hate it when companies reduce quantity (and often quality too) of product to sell it at same price as before to combat inflation. Oh and don't forget those, "30% Extra" labels. Inflation makes everything rise, so might as well keep the original quantity and just increase the price. Do you agree? How would you combat inflation if you were running a company? Not only that, these companies then have the audacity to still increase the underlying prices on these reduced quality and quality products a few months later. I can understand if there is an actual issue with ingredients going up in price and that will be an element of it, but you so often hear about increased profits in these companies too. There are definitely limits though and consumers are getting much more savvy to these type of hikes, when the quality drops especially it makes it easier to jump over to rival products which may even start to become superior. These big companies often walk a very fine line between covering increased costs and pushing away long term buyers of their products, thankfully it is much more visible now and backlashes can often cost them more money if they're caught. |

There are many advantages to the relationship between gambling and Bitcoin. Firstly, Bitcoin provides a secure and decentralized way to gamble online, which is attractive to many gamblers who value their privacy and security. Transactions are processed quickly and can be completed without third-party intermediaries, making it a popular choice for online gambling sites.
Another advantage of using Bitcoin for gambling is that it allows for more anonymity than traditional payment methods. This can be especially important for gamblers who wish to keep their gambling activities private.
Furthermore, Bitcoin transactions are often cheaper and faster than traditional banking methods, which can save gamblers money and time.
Many online casinos and sports betting sites now offer exclusive bonuses and promotions for Bitcoin users, which can provide gamblers with extra incentives to use Bitcoin for their online gambling activities.
Can you tell us another advantage of opening an account in a Bitcoin Sportsbook?
A lot of these so-called advantages are disappearing over time for different reasons. Referring to anonymity in relation to cryptocurrency is getting harder by the day, because so many transactions are tracked in the background from exchanges and peer to peer trading has been targeted by financial regulators recently because they don't keep the same level of records that banks do. Promotions are also widespread and in many cases a lot greater with fiat currency casinos in my experience, that being said there are some great bitcoin gambling sites offering bonuses out there. Potentially greater odds would be the biggest benefit to using a crypto sportbook over any other type. |

How to Equip Yourself with Essential Knowledge to Succeed in the World of Cryptocurrency
As the world becomes increasingly digitalized, the importance of financial literacy, especially in cryptocurrency, cannot be overstated. With the rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it is crucial to be knowledgeable about these assets and how to invest and manage them wisely. However, the question remains: what is the role of education in financial literacy?
While some people believe that hands-on experience is the best way to learn, it cannot be denied that education in economics and finance can provide a strong foundation for success. Higher education can teach valuable skills such as critical thinking, data analysis, and risk assessment, all of which are crucial in the world of finance and investments. It can also provide theoretical knowledge that one would not otherwise acquire through everyday experiences.
On the other hand, some argue that education in finance and economics does not necessarily equate to financial literacy. They point out that many successful investors are self-taught, and that practical experience is the best teacher. Moreover, they contend that education in finance can often be expensive and not accessible to everyone.
Despite the differing opinions on the role of education in financial literacy, it is clear that individuals should seek out knowledge from a variety of sources to best equip themselves to succeed in the world of cryptocurrency. This can include following cryptocurrency news and social media, reading books and blogs on finance and investments, and seeking out practical experiences through investing and trading activities.
I think in the last ten years educators have really woken up to the fact that talking and teaching practical financial advice is important. I remember growing up and learning all sorts of sophisticated algebra and mathematical solutions that have rarely been needed in life. However knowing the basics of things like credit cards, loans, mortgages, interest rates, pensions, stocks, bonds, etc. can be revolutionary in the future prospects of younger generations. It's easy to fall into all sorts of predatory financial traps when you're young, but it's extremely hard to climb back out of them again - often setting back people many years or even decades of possible growth in their money. |

The global online gambling market size was valued at USD 63.53 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% from 2023 to 2030. The growing internet penetration and rise in the use of mobile phones among users for playing online games is increasing the demand for online gambling. For instance, in 2022, internet penetration in the U.S. was 92% of the country's total population. Furthermore, cultural and legalization approval, easy access to online gambling, celebrity endorsements, and corporate sponsorships are also helping market growth. Based on type, the global online gambling market is segmented into poker, sports betting, casinos, and others. The sports betting segment is expected to gain a substantial market share in the forecast period due to the growth of the sports betting industry driven by the effective use of computers and cell phones to place wagers on sporting events. When you summarize it, it all goes down to the "easy access" of the gambling sites in the world. Cell phones/smart phones - If there is no application available for the gambling site, you can always use the browser of phone instead, if it won't work in mobile view then, you can use other browsers that have the feature of "desktop view". It's actually easy nowadays to create a solution for small problems like this. Desktop/Laptops - According to ACS (American Community Survey) 89 percent of household today have a desktop or a laptop in their place. Internet connection is not a problem anymore because they are offering cheap prices for 10-25 mbps speed. Gambling sites doesn't need a super speed internet just to access it, most of them are text-based websites so loading a page won't be that long. Marketing - We can now see celebrities endorsing the gambling sites. Even our heroes in the sport can now be paid to put the name of the gambling site in their shirts or jerseys or if they want more money, they can use their tongue and say the name of the site. Sponsorship. Every time we watch a sports event, any sport, you name it, we see their names being flashed on the screen. According to the articles shared, sports betting will have the highest market gain in the next few years. What do you think? Markets seem to open and shut all the time, while there might be a crackdown on gambling taking place in Australia, we see that more states are legalizing related activities in the USA after seeing how much money Las Vegas brings in every year. It does seem to be in a growing trend right now but it only takes a few well placed laws in somewhere like Europe for the industry to take a big hit. Ultimately what might bring in more profit for them is making more sophisticated gaming platforms that allow money to be wagered, or trying to take more money in the microtransaction industry. As more people get better connected to the internet, there is a lot more money that's going to flow towards these sites. |

The resources needed to satisfy all the want of human being are said not to be enough compared to all the want of humans we have many want we would like to satisfy at any given point in time which we may not be able to meet up with due to economic problems scales of preference simple is setting our needs inorder of priority.
You're never going to get everything you want in life but if you find a reasonable balance then you can sure be happy. Even Billionaires, who you might imagine have access to many things in life, may still be missing certainty in some areas of life - like do their friends like them as a person or just because of the monetary possibilities of being connected to them and whether the love of their life is genuine or again, just related to their bank account. You need to learn to keep trying hard and take in every little moment of joy that you can, often you can get those moments of joy by doing things for other people as well - not expecting anything in return. Scarcity is real, so make the most of what you've got. |

This is actually a very interesting idea and could close the gap between the average user versus the sophisticated bet analysis software used by bookmakers to offer bets. Even if it's just able to tease out better performance or possibly compare more data points in the long run. Even boosting the winning prediction percentage by one or two points extra could be very beneficial for players and start to balance the odds of sportbooks. It will definitely be interesting to follow a long someone making predictions that are actually based on an intelligent model, rather than random guessing by someone who follows the sport but is susceptible to blind spots in their knowledge like everyone else. |

So we all heard now the Fed provided liquidity to all these banks which had tons of unrealized losses due to their bond portfolios.
The fed balance sheet basically erased months and months of declines in the last week due to this. Now my question is will this increase inflation or not?
Because this money doesn’t go to the people to spend. All it does it prevented a customer from losing all their money over $250K. They provided the liquidity and most likely will give the money back once the bonds mature in 10 years time.
What does everyone think of the feds actions?
It just goes to show that the illusion of central bankers being highly skilled, professional forecasters and experts in monetary policy is a joke. They bumble along in the good times, aka the easy times, but in moments of panic they are marginally less clueless than the average person on the street and quite often make poor decisions. For example if they were wise they would not have left rates so low for so long, it allowed all this cheap money to flood and slosh around in the market but when inflation went crazy they had to tighten up so sharply it threw the whole economy out of tilt. Now they're going to cause pain for a lot of people, people borrowing loans and mortgages, probably forcing a recession with the blind aim of bringing down spending & hoping prices for fall. |

It's been awhile I try daily to make profit
Stake casino mostly mines
But it take back profit.. I have 2k balance.. is there method
To get 100 $ per day
Unless you're playing a skill based game like poker, then the answer is no - no casino or bookmaker will allow you to consistently make that sort of money over a long time period. Even if you are profitable at sports for example, they might let you play for a few months and extract a few thousand, but there will highly like come a day when they decide to rig your account or prevent you from making substantial bets that fulfill your profitable strategy. They will tolerate winners for a while, but ultimately they will cut you off and they have this right according to the terms of use that you agree - they are not bound to keep your account active in any way, it's a two way contract. |
