421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If one like decentralization they will surely want Bitcoin? on: August 06, 2023, 11:46:29 PM
It is not about the decentralisation, it is all about the physical presence. During the early days I've suffered to brief it to people as they never understand the term virtual money. How does it hold value and there is no paper money, because for years and years this how people have used to it. Only through experience people were able to understand better and in such stance I've made few people under well about it. During those the word bitcoin itself rare and now things have changed alot. Goodness of decentralised function and all will be learnt in the later part, initially they need to believe which itself a big task.
422  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you rather start/grow a business from scratch or buy an existing business? on: August 06, 2023, 11:01:26 PM
I don't really have much to say as regards to this post. It is just an avenue to hear your thoughts on which is better to invest both time, energy and resources in, mostly for a season as this, where we are experiencing economic uncertainty and ill-timed government banking policies.

So, given that the resources are available or not and you are presented with the opportunity to start/grow or buy an existing business just like Elon Musk, which option is more preferential and benefitial to you?



I would also do the same like Elon Musk. Buying an established business company will be easier to grow because you will only follow what had made it prosper for a long time, without giving yourself a hard time thinking how your business will not left in vain. Unlike starting a business from a scratch, you should deal about its financial risks, you should stay on top of its high competition, and the most important thing is you should be aware of all the business processes and strategies because it will be a trial and error at first so you know which strategy will work and which is not.
Buying a business that is already good in the market seems to be fair, and there is nothing to think much on it. Same time we won't be able to make something new to it and try the outcome. The test too can be a big problem, so with the minor changes business is kept running. When we start our own business it is us to handle each and everything and we know well about everything from the base, and the same helps to be successful in the start of new business. Maybe things won't be profiting and we don't understand the market, all required is the ability to withstand for some time period and automatically business will turn profitable as we get to know how things need to be proceeded and how strategies need to be made effective.
423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 06, 2023, 10:46:26 PM
West Indies is really good in T20 format cricket, the first match result of five match series proved it. Now the second match result have proven that West Indies team is king of T20. In the first match West Indies scored 149 runs and defended India and won by 4 runs. This time West Indies have chased the target of 152 runs with 7 balls remaining. Nicholas Pooran played an awesome innings scoring 67 runs from 40 balls which were the important scores for winning.
I think this series has given India selectors a big reality check that their bench strength is literally zero. Making a team full of 11 big stats who played best in IPL is never going to work. If you see it in a way its just the big 3 players that are missing, out of which I consider Rohit pretty much out of form from long. is Indian team again going towards the path where only 1 person makes it win and it's Kohli?
Anyone looking on the T20 squad will say, it is hard to beat this team. It is accepted that the bowling line-up isn't the best, but with the batting line-up unable to score atleast 180 runs is really bad. Looking the scores of the two matches played it is well known that the team isn't good enough to play a team like West Indies. Maybe they're good in playing against teams like Netherlands and Ireland. In the first match they weren't able to score 150 runs and win the match and in the second match just 152 runs scored, shame on the performance.
424  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT on: August 06, 2023, 10:40:15 PM
A gambler makes mistakes only when he becomes hopeful of making something from gambling. That is, he depends on gambling to fulfill some of his dreams in life. But gamblers forget that there is no guarantee of winning rather of losing. What most of the gambler mean by success in gambling is getting more wins or the amount of winnings in a short period of time. Success in gambling generally does not depend on long or short periods of gambling. Since luck plays a major role in gambling so every one should not think it as their main goal.
The mistake will be repeated if there is no awareness from him that gambling does not guarantee that someone can succeed and get a lot of money. He can only play gambling as usual without hoping to win big. If he hopes too much, he can be disappointed later because his expectations will not match reality. A successful gambler is a gambler who can use his time to gamble well and if he gets a win, he can stop immediately without expecting another win because he knows that gambling cannot give too frequent wins. He would choose to quit while he was already winning so he could use his winnings to celebrate.
Having healthy thoughts and always thinking about bad things in gambling, maybe that's one way to overcome it all.
With a healthy mind, of course someone will not expect anything from gambling and also always prioritize consistently not to spend too much money on gambling which causes harm in the long term. I agree with you because so far controlling yourself in gambling is indeed very difficult and if there is someone who is able to control himself to always be consistent or not risk too much money in gambling and gamble responsibly then he is a successful person in gambling.
Because there are several definitions of success in gambling, but being able to gamble responsibly is also one of the successes of someone who thinks that this is just a place of entertainment without giving big wins except when lucky.
It all matters with your perception because if you do really make yourself ending up on having those assumptions that you would really be making yourself get rich with gambling then you are really that putting yourself
in great danger as these thoughts would really be pushing you hard on doing gambling since you do really have this kind of intent but if not then you would really be that able to control and this is really that something good.
Gambling is really just that for fun, why cant others just be able to think up and realize these things but rather they do rather do the opposite things? why they cant really just go with the basic principle and reality on things?This is why it would really be leading on such disaster just because they dont really be able think up clearly on what gambling is all about. There's no need to quit if you do have the control but if there's none
then for sure you would really be finding yourself that get addicted on which it is something that would really be needing to make out adjustments and realistic approach on things.
Person who have dreamt of becoming rich through gambling would understand the reality of gambling within the initial days of gambling. Most of the person will continue not with the hope, but with a mind to get back what they've lost. In the event of recovering the lost funds the person continues to wager and some gets lucky whereas the majority gets into addiction and the self-controlled ones stay active as they know well about their limits and have understood the complications of going behind the loss and looking for wins.

Well with Felix AA its a mental issue, he has the talent and I think this is what a lot
of people were basing their future predictions on but its difficult to factor in to a
prediction a players mental outlook, choices or strength.

snip

That is exactly the same with Kyrgios; he is extremely talented and can beat the best if he really wants it. Look at Wimbledom last year where he managed to get the finals, not a lot of people saw that coming also. But in a lot of smaller tournaments, he is not in the mood to play, jokes around and simply doesn't care.
Tennis is a game that I much about stamina. If the player goes down, then it is really hard to make a comeback in the match. To run around the court throughout the match is not an easy thing. Underdogs winning matches have turned to be very common with most of the sports. One important thing, the competence have gone to the peak and when one wasn't able to make themselves strong they go mentally down.
426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: August 05, 2023, 11:51:15 PM
This is happening in many places. Even in my nearby state lottery is run successfully and it is a big success and even the people who doesn't have much of knowledge and belief in luck too buys it. Here it is much focused on development of the medical department infrastructure. Apart the state have taken special measures in treating people free of cost for Cancer. Through gambling some form of good things were happening around, and no private entities were allowed.
427  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Possibility of bitcoin adoption by countries when world fin. giants does. on: August 05, 2023, 11:37:26 PM
When a country have got reason or purpose, the government of the respective country will think of the adoption. The reality is different and very few countries have understood the meed and as a result the those countries stand positive on bitcoin adoption and acceptance. In recent years El Salvador have took the much bolder decision amidst opposition from different parts of the world. Particularly the super power of the world thought of having them under control and things didn't work as expected.
428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez to accept presidential donations in bitcoin on: August 04, 2023, 11:30:21 PM
Sadly Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has little chance of winning.  Instead of running against other pro-Bitcoiner, he should have joined forces with them in order to strengthen the possibility of them(pro-Bitcoiner politicians) to win.  But I think he is still on his personal gain and accepting Bitcoin in donations does not help in contributing to the development of the technology but only helps his candidacy.

After all these sweet talks, if he is into Bitcoin implementation, he could just support other Bitcoin-friendly candidate who has a better chance of winning.
All the promises and statements during the election campaigns should never be considered true. Maybe they're partially true, but once they reach power in a very simple way they'll give answer when questions were put on them connective to the statements during the election campaign. These are election strategies, one thing that is happening good is the spread about bitcoin. When someone popular shouts about something surely people will search and find what it is, and lets see does the electorial campaign brings him win.
429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin helps the economy of all circles on: August 04, 2023, 11:25:16 PM
Bitcoin is not kind of business that is developed targeting specific class of people. It is developed keeping in mind that everyone needs to benefit through it. This is the success of bitcoin. Another important thing is the backing technology that made bitcoin the innovation of the era. The denomination available for everyone to invest and buy based on ones ability is another thing that makes bitcoin the best. Next is the multipurpose usage. In this way we can add more and more characteristics of bitcoin with which it stands high and useful to all levels of people.
430  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does cryptocurrency actually solve any problems? on: August 04, 2023, 11:04:09 PM
There is difference of understanding about bitcoin between people. Some consider it the alternate to the traditional payment whereas there are people who consider it as investment and for other needs. So, it could solve different problems based on the way people use it. However this doesn't serve major problems of economy or social development such as the unemployment, poverty and other factors. There is some kind of misunderstanding among people that usage of bitcoin or increasing adoption could eradicate poverty and increase the employment opportunity.
431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 03, 2023, 08:01:52 PM
There is nothing wrong this your suggestions but to me is just left for the gambler to decide what is best for them, like as you do you can easily control yourself on your gambling process. Most times it could be very hard to do because there are always chance that man would want to gamble important game maybe you noticed that week could be a good week and you decided to place some bet. These are likely to those who often place bets on draw games as they plays weekly, but what would it take a gambler not to control his reasoning and actions towards gambling addiction.
As everything is possible sitting at the home with the mobile phone in the hand it is really tough to have control. Even if the person have decided to take a break, and if he had some leisure time surely his mind will think of gambling and he might give a try. If there is no access, then the person won't think of it. Such an opportunity isn't available and to be on the safer side, never think of having big money in the gambling platforms. When we have good balance, our minds will keep on thinking about it.
432  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why you will never become rich on: August 03, 2023, 07:47:33 PM
Making yourself independent from family than having more dependents could be a reason to stop a person turning rich. The basic thing is the acceptance of the people. Poor people were surrounded by the level of people and they come to a conclusion this is how life needs to be. Lets accept and move on, and this needs to change. Next major thing is the lack of knowledge, and they earn someway but don't know how to use it in a wiser way or how to invest properly. Maybe one these things could change overtime.
433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Spending on Harlots/Hook Up Girls Instead of Investing in Bitcoin. on: August 03, 2023, 07:36:48 PM
Op being funny and majority have said it is ones personal and it is his earning, we don't have the right to interfere in it. According to me what OP have said can be taken in positive way as well as in the opposite manner. Just on a fun point Op could've thought that the money spend today for a single women could help the guy have atleast five Women in the future, if the amount spent on the women is invested into bitcoin. From the person's view he doesn't know when he'll be able to have five women out of the investment made today, maybe he'll be aged and out of form  Cheesy
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: August 03, 2023, 07:26:37 PM
The performance from the African teams were the big discussion of the ongoing season of FIFA Women's World Cup. In the knockout stage matches we can expect more surprises. England stands strong as the favourite to win the trophy. However the determination from the small teams were great and the same will keep them going forward. Japan is the only team on the knockout stage, with its tremendous performance I believe Japan can reach the quarter finals.
Morocco made a surprise by passing the Group stage thanks to a victory vs Colombia and the draw the German team made! Germany won 6 - 0 vs Morocco then Morocco qualify and Germany leave the World Cup!
South Africa made it too, kicking Italy and Argentina from the competition. Brazil wasn't lucky too along with Portugal and Canada.
South Africa will face Netherlands, Nigeria vs England and Morocco vs France will be challenging for the African team at this point
All the three matches of the African teams were really tough and they'll somehow try to give the best. Rest is the fate, and one more geographical African country Jamaica is on the list. Though it is a North American country many think it to be an African country. Next few days were going to be very interesting as the knockout matches will decide the quarter final qualifiers. Based on the rank list from FIFA, England, France and Netherlands were at the 4th, 5th & 9th position while Nigeria(40th) is the only team placed in the top 50 on rank table.
435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 03, 2023, 07:08:48 PM
West Indies VS India
The first match of the West Indies vs India T20 series has started today. West Indies won the toss and decided to bat. Already 4 overs have been played without taking any wicket and collected 29 runs. India is the top number one team in T20 ranking. India bowling line and batting line is better than West Indies. India has more chances to win than West Indies in today's match. I think India will win the match today.
West Indies played well early in the game when it looked like they would set a good target to India but they gave away the target of 149 runs.  India too are not playing well today they have lost 3 wickets for 69 runs.  Shubman Gill was a good player but got out for just 3 runs. India need 75 more runs in 9 overs which is not a big challenge.  Collecting this run is possible for any good team so I think India will not fail in this case
Once after the innings of West Indies thought 149 an easy target for India. The end result of the match is really disappointing and completely unexpected. West Indies have won the match by 4 runs and India was able to score 145/9 in 20 overs. The middle order somehow managed to stand wicket, but that hadn't lasted till the end. No solid performance other than Tilak Varma scoring 39 runs from 22 balls. West Indies team needs to be appreciated to defend with such a low score. Hope this series would be a win for West Indies if India continues to play this way and this is the outcome of over confidence.
436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't expect everyone to embrace Bitcoin on: August 02, 2023, 10:59:51 PM
You're never going to convince everybody to embrace bitcoin. We’re all individuals, we all have our own ideas, opinions & ways of thinking. Bitcoin is still fairly niche & it’s only been here since 2009. Adoption is increasing as time passes & that’s all that matters. Don’t worry about trying to see everybody invest in or speak positively about bitcoin. If people don’t get it then that’s their loss. 
Individuals have difference in thinking and it is by nature something good for a person used to be bad for another person. It all happens out of experience or the understanding. Everyone wouldn't understand the same way, so it is hard to see people positive about bitcoin and embracing it. It is good to give a better explanation if someone is negative about bitcoin. Rest is their choice whether to accept what we say or this can make them think why can't we analyse and understand what is the truth.
437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 02, 2023, 10:53:21 PM
India destroyed WI in the final ODI as expected after embarassing themselves in the last match. WI could have restricted India to a smaller total if they didn't drop easy catches at the beginning of the match.

Mukesh Kumar was phenomenal throughout this series though I never heard of him before this series. Let's see if WI can compete with India in the upcoming T-20 games.
West Indies had dropped catches, from the Indian team each and every player are prepared to give the best performance and they're very careful with their scoring. Never went for unnecessary shots, and few wickets happened due to impatience. If the score isn't good this too couldn't have happened. In all situation India team is prepared to reach a big score.

Mukesh Kumar and Shardul Thakur bowled well and the same helped India win the match by a large margin. West Indies being a team popular for T20 cricket will have better plans to win the T20 series.
438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's safe to say - gambling is a guy thing. on: August 02, 2023, 10:47:05 PM
It is the common thought that makes a person think men are much into gambling than Women. There is nothing as guy thing, it is meant for everyone. More things can be seen specific for Women, but it is very rare to see a guy thing. The mentality to risk is the difference that makes more men into gambling against the number of women.

Another thing, it is the social structure that keeps women in a different track. Now those thoughts were broken and women have begun to come out and stand equal to men. By now it is time to ask why women are gambling more than the past.
439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: August 02, 2023, 10:40:21 PM
Many say they gamble for fun. In reality those are just words, and in realtime the expectation differs for sure. Very few enjoy the adrenaline rush through gambling, because to experience the adrenaline rush we've got more sporting events. In some corner of the mind even the gambler looking for fun is in need of win.

As a gambler I've got winning limits and those were very small, and those aren't stable. Once the expected win is achieved the mind looks for more. This is how the winning day turns to be complete loss.
440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 02, 2023, 05:28:45 PM
In the past there were manipulation. Now each bet can be verified, as the platforms have begun to function provably fair there is no connection between two bets. When calculated everyone will have high number of winning bets against the lost ones. This is common, but on the profit/loss statistics most of the gamblers will be in loss. As said in one of the previous post it is the luck that decides the win and the wager doesn't have anything to do with the outcome of the bets.
