what about this. parents send their kids to their grandparents in order for them to attend 2 jobs so they could meet ends. grandparents neglect the kid's diaper. they run around the house while wet poop dripping.

another strange indicator is the crocodile farm index, these farms are shutting down during an economic crash for there are no orders for crocodile skins for bags and shoes. these farms let go of their crocs to the California rivers too.  

it's like USD backed by BTC. makes sense just as they backed USD with gold back in Brettonwoods. The US government has more than 200K BTC and they could buy more from coinbase after all Blackrock is already an investor in that company so they could back the USD with BTC.

that would be an interesting development, i have heard of this before i think from Raoul Pal who said BTC was created after the 2008 collapse. BTC is meant for this.

rich can bet huge amounts to win big unlike the less fortunate gamblers can just risk a few dollars. the rich think $500 is just a small amount just as the poor think $5 is a small amount. both of them may have the same outlook like enjoying the game just like what we always read treating gambling as entertainment but the rich entertain themselves more because of the big bankroll they have.

we know the economy is bad when gas prices have already gone up and all the rest of the stuff we usually buy in the grocery store is up 15%. and because your salary is just what it was the last 2 years, your situation is just as bad as the rest of us. we are in a recession. one reason more economists wanna be think we are in a recession is because we hear it on the news too.

but here are indicators to confirm we really are in an economic downturn.

1. butter popcorn index - people go to movies regardless of how bad the movie is. they just go see movies to just get away from their problems. but when the economy is bad, just sit and watch netflix.
 
2. diaper rash - parents wouldn't mind if their kid's diapers are already full during an economic crisis and are not neglectful when it comes to the diaper turning yellow during an economic upturn.

3. plastic surgery index - plastic surgery index is generally down during rough times as women wouldn't mind how small their boobs are than when the economy is booming.  

4. lipstick index -  women wouldn't spend much on expensive lipsticks so sales are gonna be bad for lipsticks compared to the times when economy is great.

5. japanese haircut index - during a good economy, more people in japan will take care of themselves and get their looks neat and they're not doing this during bad times. women don't go to beauty parlors.

6. bike fatality index - during an economic crisis, people use bikes often or can't afford cars so more bike accidents happen.

7. men underwear index - men especially singles don't mind wearing underwear with a couple of holes in it, no one sees it anyway. men buy less underwear during economic downturns.

8. garbage index - less garbage because people buy less when the economy is bad and buy more when times are good so more garbage everywhere.

9. unclaimed body index - during a bad economy, dead people are not claimed in the morgue. horrible index to look at how bad the economy is.
i'm sure people take care of their family when they die. can't believe this is happening.

i'm sure there are some more, there is also a "beer index" where people prefer to just buy 6 packs and go drink at home rather than a bar.
a few months ago, i bought my kid a secondhand laptop rather than a new one because it's expensive, i think this is also an indicator. and i know he'd break it sooner.

ETH probably is way more serious than other altcoins, this one has already ETF filed by Blackrock. it's more secure to invest in ETH than other altcoins that grow just cents every time BTC spikes.

SOL though is kind of good because it really skyrocket weeks ago, it would probably shoot up again when there is another BTC green candle by next month. in a way, most altcoins are dragged up when BTC is having a bull run.

too naive to still support the person right?  and you couldn't really trust the guy is he said this time that the funds generated from this crowdfund would be used right to what is intended.  he gambled away the money that was originally meant for something. there is no assurance he will not gamble again the money to chase the loss.

anyway, it's all up to him already. if someone still trusts him. then maybe he really is worth trusting. not me. i'm struggling myself.

that might not mean approval it's only binance.us that the US has under control. but wouldn't Hong Kong (China) launch their own ETFs too, and use Binance.com as their defacto index?  both poles should be launching ETFs as it will be beneficial for all. no one should be left behind in all these developments.

they moved the date for the ETF decision to March 2024 so its hard to speculate when it will be approved. it looks like they wanted the ETF approval close to halving date.

 the ones who are not in this forum are going to be an easy target for their scam. it's surprising they were not launching on other crypto forums when they are very aggressive in their marketing. they were even pretending to build their trust by sending back the coins they took.

and during the time when they were campaigning here, they were also buying accounts even the ones with negative trust. they will activate those accounts when they get aggressive again.

it could be that they are just stopping the promotion after all they are already well-known in the crypto community. what a casino needs is to keep its campaign in the forum instead of having promotions and rakeback.

the visibility of ads to the forum seems to have worked on major casinos like Stake, i think it is better to just follow what Stake is doing than doing those signup bonuses.

before the major exchanges asked KYC to their cuatomers, they were just asking KYC to those customers withdrawing large amounts. the adoption in Hongkong started late but i think this exchange will also asking KYC soon even the users with the tiniest amount of BTC.

it has a decent interface actually and just like the rest of the platform, they also have a mobile app for ease of use.

it always boils down to experience. i would hire the two and see which of them last in the worse condition in the workplace and the job they would do. i bet the one who graduated from a medium tier university will quit after a day.

the ones who with silver spoons stick up their ass always quit because they think they deserve a position after just a few months. the ones who can endure and have the perseverance to win are the ones finding out their strength.

is the guy who won that $16,000 worth of Niara the guy who avoided his friends after winning?  i wouldn't be surprised. he hid because if he shared 100N, he'd be bashed, by his friends but by giving more than $500, a lot of his acquaintances would become friends asking the same amount. and then if he gives just about $200, they will complain about giving him only $200 while the other friend receives $500. the self-entitlement is just like saying to the winner he has no right to say no.

some kids are just lucky to have gotten some BTC while the price was just very affordable. it's however unbelievable that he doesn't know what to do with his life when he has the privilege of doing what he wants to do. he is young and has money.

he could just wait til the price goes $100k and just pursue a degree for now.  financial independence can actually make a person think clearly but if he is unstable despite being young and having no huge responsibility, he needs a girl.

this looks true. those batch mates i have who are straight-As are nowhere close to the one of the simplest guys in my batch who smoked so much weed during our high school days. i saw that guy roaming the world from Alaska down to Oceania. he owns 3 businesses already while the straight As i know are trying their luck Basking music on the streets. there is a local proverb here and it goes. having low grades is fine as long as you don't poop watery shit in the classroom.

people forget those straight-A students but the kid who shits in class. will never be forgotten.

i would believe it if Fatih Ozcan also predicted that he'd be working in that Turkish restaurant before he advised his boss to buy a lottery ticket. if he hadn't seen that coming, then it's just coincidental.  because anyone with such kind of psycho ability, they would have been winning the entire year and would not just win half of 1.7M.
Fatih would have been rubbing elbows with Erdogan if he used it properly.

i also remember that Octopus. didn't the owner grilled that octopus to crisp when the owner bet and lost?

okay noah we're already grateful to you.
i was also thinking of those tokenized assets running on popular blockchain as they are already tested and after all the government can take over if they intend to. nothing that a government can't do when they are up to seize assets and real properties. which one?

there are signs already showing today where prices are so high but making people poor overnight will likely spark a riot or worse civil war.

you seem to be a threat to them you only deposited less than $100 worth of ETH and you have made it to $500, that is 5x you could be draining all their funds in no time if they still allow you to play.  i'd like to copy bet.

it is unfair though that they take your winnings since you won all those before the change of terms and conditions. they have decided though, nothing else can be done but maybe the AG can do something for you.

casino's AI is to keep gamblers from winning and the gambler's AI is to keep winning. it will be a hell of a fight as AIs are getting sophisticated i think the dev can actually develop something that will deceive the other bot. AI industry will be the new industry that we are going to be working on.

AIs to predict sports outcomes might still be impossible to achieve for now. we have a long way to go since this depends on the athletes playing the game.
how much access will AI have inorder to predict games? personal life of athletes, health and team meetings. i doubt they are going to allow it.

nothing is said in this article but just freezing the amount and i thought it must be in my country since it mentioned Southeast Asia.

Tether, USDC, or any other centralized stablecoin can be frozen by government request. no court filing, no investigation but from chainalysis and solved the case by freezing. it's seems very common in USDT though. maybe we really need to start using another stablecoin that can't be frozen.

nothing good is happening but always war and politics. it only boils my blood watching the news. new regulations are being introduced in my country and it can make people hungry like open season on the sea. no positive news for the economy to grow.

idk, ffor over a century of harvesting the ocean in our country which faces the Pacific and is Archipelago with more than 7000 islands, we never had this law before but fisherman now has to live with it. we only have 2 seasons, rainy and sunny. we don't have winter here.
