421  Economy / Economics / Re: Recession soon? on: February 25, 2024, 04:51:41 PM
People might be aware that some of the esteemed and largest organisations are laying off their employees left right and centre, are we heading into recession? Because I have seen my colleagues getting laid off and it's been months they are unable to find a job. Either we are heading towards recession or globally companies overhired the employees post COVID hence clearing the additional manpower. I am bit convinced that it's like recession sort of thing and not sure to over hiring. Share your thoughts on this crisis which has left a good amount of people without any work.
the global economy is seriously in a messy situation right now and it's sad that most news headline is centred on wars, crime and negative reports in the business world. A I had also joined in contributing to the laying off of somany workers because of the need to cut down cost and coupled with the how most jobs could easily be replaced with th AI, it sure breaths out threat to all working population to tighten thier seat belt and put in extra effort if they have any plans of continuing in the jobs they are currently doing.

agree with that. AI has advanced quickly and companies are preparing to just implement AIs and robotics. the layoffs are just the start because in my country the rivers seem to have dried up and rice fields may not produce enough rice to provide for the country. recession is nothing compared to what's coming. because sooner the strong countries are going to be plundering the weaker countries to get more resources.

the news is often just about wars and negative reports are distractions that people will not mind the recession.

husbands or fathers playing in the cockfighting arenas are wasting much time of the fathers that should have been spent on their families that's why the wives are complaining so much. i personally know some wives, who know their husbands will go home empty-handed again every Sunday because of gambling and then drink tanduay til midnight. it's the usual routine every Sunday for the rooster boys.

playing the lottery won't consume hours and hours of the husband so the wives won't mind him spending $0.20 for the ticket.
423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the highest amount of money you've ever bet in a single game? on: February 24, 2024, 07:12:41 PM

$3000 for a single match? that's huge. was it bull run that time?  and did you regret it?  one influencer lost $4000 in baccarat and turned into a monster after he lost the amount.  Grin

the highest by far that i bet on a single match was $70 for to crawford vs spence fight. i'm comfortable although the win isn't that much. i was in a hurry in betting since io was only reminded of the day when the fight was to happen. the amount is the only left in my account actually and its meant to gamble so yes i'm comfortable losing it but i won,
424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Between new tokens and old tokens, which would you invest into? on: February 24, 2024, 07:01:42 PM

old tokens. the old ones that have been around through good and bad times because you can be assured they will not try to disappear in the bear market.

just thought you should know that there are tokens that launched their blockchain in the bull market but in the bear market they slowly die and then gone. website and social media disappear too. especially the DEFI projects, many of them are gone and only a few good ones survive the bad times.
That is why the product is important. Those with already used product will not easily gone, like if a chain already has some dapp. I also prefer token created by a company, those usually have already good product before entering crypto world

i see what you mean with L1 already having dapps and its ecosystem is already rolling. prices may not go up to mars but yes they will continue to exist because their product proved to be working and there is already community support.

In as much as some times it feels good being a part of a token early stage adoption,it is good to focus to on some old token that has proven to have certain potential although many old token has lost there potentials, being decisive about this could be very difficult but I know is going to vary individually, for me I will chose or focus on old token that I  know there performance recent time, thou there is no guarantee but that is my choice than venturing in to new token that I don't.

you'd better be sure to know the team is capable of doing its job otherwise it will still be a massive failure when get in early to the token development and then later on becomes a scam.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 24, 2024, 06:34:22 PM
In gambling for me I don't think if being confident is necessary because is more like a two side coin two things are involve is either you win or loss so not been confident of yourself Will always gives you that emotional peace of mind when you encounter loss, and is never advisable to gamble with More than you can afford to loss.

It is suicidal to gamble with more than what you can afford to loss. You shouldn't gamble all the time some time go for break.
I disagree with you somehow on this because you need some level of confidence to be able to follow your gambling rules.

The point am trying to make is that no amount or level of confidence can actually guarantee success in gambling, is  just a normal two way things just like I have Said before is either you win or loss, there are so many uncertainty in gambling sometimes things could goes surprisingly opposite at that point what can your confidence do for you.that is my opinion and is not must that you will agree with me.in my own term there is nothing like confidence in gambling.
Well, you are right and I completely agree with you, gambling has little to nothing to do with our confidence, confidence can actually drive us to bet on a game, a play a particular game, but that is where it ends, the same confidence can't can't contribute to the outcome of the game, whether it be a loss or a win.

Like I remember one time in the 2022 world cup when Saudi Arabia played against Argentina, my confidence in Argentina to win that match drove me to betting about $3000 on that game, this was the highest amount of money I've ever put into a single bet ever since I started gambling, and of course, I was never ready to lose this money, but like I said before, my confidence that Argentina would win; made me bet such amount of money on them, but eventually, and unfortunately, that confidence could not help me, for Argentina lost that match to Saudi Arabia, and that was how I lost my money, this was actually my worst experience in the world of gambling.

i think OP described confidence as blinc confidence like the gambler will just bet thinking he is lucky all the way to win. it has to be defined like the gambler knows what he is doing and knows how to play his card on the poker table or knows how to pick and choose his bets in sports.

confidence i think will be needed just not have to be overconfident that putting all his money in a single bet to win a sum. because this for sure would be too much. it may sound crazy but some people do it. and this i think is what OP means by overconfident.

426  Economy / Economics / Re: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? on: February 24, 2024, 06:18:32 PM

if college graduates have to pay for their college loans that keep growing due to their interest, they will really not be wealthy unless they get lucky employed with high-paying positions. the graduates these days also are unfortunate at this time however because the economy prevents the business from growing.  but this must depend on the kind of degree a graduate has accomplished, if they could just work independently without having to get employed by a company, it's better for them than being unemployed.

education is still necessary. It is a test of character as my grandparents would always say. you startred it, you finish it til you graduate.
427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reddit has invested in crypto: the beginning of a new crypto wave? on: February 24, 2024, 05:07:33 PM

I'd like to hear your opinion on this issue:
  • Does Reddit's crypto investment surprise you?
  • Do you believe other private companies are holding undisclosed crypto?
  • Is the potential concentration of crypto in corporate reserves beneficial or detrimental to crypto market?

reddit is not surprising anymore, they do have their own currency back when there was no blockchain yet and a few years ago they also were interested in creating a cryptocurrency of their own. there was so much mix news about reddit and cryptocurrency which is just like twitter when Musk took over. there was even a piece of news on reddit that each account will have a wallet for crypto.

and yes there are more companies holding crypto whether they want to disclose it or not, they have the right to keep it private. and i think they are also entitled to keep it that way, companies holding cryptocurrencies are beneficial to them as its an investment.
428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] David Benavidez vs. Olexandr Gvozdyk interim WBC Championship on: February 23, 2024, 06:14:31 PM
PBC will release Canelo if he ducks Benavidez but it was said also Canelo is to fight Munguia soon or Edgar Berlanga as Hearn said.

Benavidez is going to weigh himself for LW, it's his fight time and fighting a hard hitter such as Gvozdyk will also be risky for him and it's not sure if it's going to sell PPV. this is final?

because Canelo refuses, Benavidez has to move on as waiting seems not an option for him. it's a big step up for Benavidez's career and i think he can beat Gvozdyk given that the fight will be in Sept.
429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Couple won the jackpot but split soon after! on: February 23, 2024, 05:31:31 PM

Well, not all women are after mens money LoL. It's not because you've experienced something like that that you will imprint in your mind that they all have the same actions and intentions. You will surely find the right woman for you, the one who will help you in everything, support you and most of all, will not leave you or change you for money.
As i have said that im not generalizing all women to be on this way but due to my own experience in the past or when im still on teenage to college days on being on a relationship then i could say that you should really be that careful on choosing with your partner for the rest of your life. You should have that standard of course and if something that make you feel that being choked then better skip and look for another one as simple as that.

all i can say is that that woman is also not so naive in life. when a person has money like that, they find independence and will not need the man in her life for a time being. but the same with the man, having such an amount of money, he can buy a sexier woman in his life.

they didn't say what is the reason for the break up or i missed reading it. but pretty much the money has something to do with it. the woman also has a kid which i think she thinks she wants the kid to benefit more off this money so i can understand the pursuit to take it all.


Thats some greedy check you have there.. As far as i read up that they arent still married. So how she have a kid? hmmm.

In regarding on what you have said on not needing your partner when you do have the money. Lets talk about on the women side on which i could say that this is partly true, Why?
Based up on real experience on which on the time that my wife do make some huge income which is way more than on what im earning then you could really sense the change of authority
on which respect and control and being manipulative is already there.Whereas these things didnt exist on the time that she still getting your salary but on the time that they are
also earning big then this is where things do change up which it do really sucks.

For husbands then i dont see for it to be that something could happen since from the start, it is really that our main responsibility on raising up our own family.
There's no sense of being that too boastful because you are the provider.

when couples reach a point where they can sense what might their partner think or do whenever they achieve financial success, there is already a barrier between them. even if they love each other, behind their minds is something else. learning to trust each other will be needed. and not ignore the other like deciding something while the other isn't aware of it might cause commotion.

in their case, someone could be behind that causes this like a brother/sister or a friend who whispers their ears putting an idea regarding who has more share.
430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Utility above Hype on: February 23, 2024, 04:59:41 PM

all memecoins don't have utility. it just depends on where the community will use it, i they create a casino for where users could bet those memecoins, that would be one of its use cases. i think it doesn't count as a use case when it's the tokenomics we are talking about where users are staking these memecoins to make more memecoins. its just adding more supply to the memecoins. its already useless, adding more useless coins means more worthless coins.

431  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Coping with expectations on: February 23, 2024, 04:38:42 PM
all you need to do is tell the truth. coz the truth will set you FREE.  Grin
it's not easy of course but that's just how it is and sometimes you need to convince them, that it's not as easy as it was back then when the economy was way better than now. during their time, less distraction, and people could think clearly without worries. in our time, what matters is that you can live independently. some are even earning online being influencers reading just the newspaper for their audience as a career.  

by the way, let them hold a pint of ice cream when you tell them these. ice cream makes things better.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Phase Or Are You Slowing Down Your Gambling Activity When.... on: February 23, 2024, 04:21:40 PM
i already stopped being a Christian. when i got old the story turned out to be like a fairy tale as well. whether there is a holy week Christmas, the gambling doesn't stop. although i rarely gamble offline, they are all available in the city because the casino house is open all the time, and even on sunday, the cockpit arena welcomes people rivaling the attention, and churchgoers are diverted to those places.

the people in holy week though respect the belief that's why most Christian in my country are already taking this week as a time to commemorate Christ.

435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: February 22, 2024, 06:30:24 PM
when they say the house always wins, it's literally what is happening all the time with the casinos as the odds are always on them.

the only reason why some casinos are not making money is because they lost the competition. or new and the most popular casinos are just sweeping the small casinos. gamblers are making casinos richer every day with the money they give away. so if you wanna build a business where your passion is as a gambler, then be a casino. create one for you will be destined to be richer than Eddie.
436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and people knowledge on: February 22, 2024, 06:20:16 PM
People say that they don't know what is the btc and there is no clear story for them to trust btc.
But the same people don't know what is the money and how it's created and they are collateral or some type of security body by themselfes.
Little do they know how the banks even creating money.
So money the fiat currencies are unknown same like btc for many people.
Also all people live their lifes and nobody don't ask questions what's the purpose of life.
It's funny how they acting like they know everything but yet they don't nothing and then they say they know about money but don't know about btc.
Off course If some well known person will tell them let's use btc it's good and safe becouse i say so and Im trusted then people Will follow.
The same people who say things about cryptocurrency that it's unknown for them they act like they really know all about the other things what they trust,If you ask from average person can they explain the process of creating money debt and Fiat currency...they don't know.


It's really normal for some people who dont know about Bitcoin to say a lot of things that are not true because they just trust Bitcoin and do not know anything about it, they just do not have enough knowledge yet to understand how Bitcoin technology operates, but at the same, it's not really their fault because there are already a lot of rumor in the internet about Bitcoin, and if they are going to rely on the news Bitcoin and cryptocurrency really have a bad image overall because it is already involved in a lot of illegal activities, people used to seeing Bitcoin being involved in scams, pyramids, etc where people lose money, aside from that people are using it as well to scam people, something like encouraging people to invest saying that they are going to invest it on cryptocurrency and Bitcoin hoping that they are going to earn but end up losing it to a scammer.

There was obviously no way around it, the only way to do encourage them is if they are the one going to learn it or research about it that way they are going to understand it by themselves and know the potential of Bitcoin.

there are interviews where a youtuber is asking random people on the streets whether they know about BTC. surprisingly, the majority of those random people don't know BTC. i think there's still more than 90% of people around the world don't know BTC but trust banks with their fiat money issued by the government that is backed by nothing.

it's common for people to just trust the government because after all it's the government. and if the money is issued by the government then it's good enough for them. not asking anymore more than that. and i think because most people are in the rat race too.  too busy to make money working 12 hours a day and have no time to ask whatever is there that the discovery channel is talking about.



437  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you gained anything after the end of bull run? on: February 22, 2024, 06:09:23 PM
I booked some profit from bounty coins but i need to expend it for supporting my family and repay loans what i had taken for economical crisis. After that, i was inactive for long but as another bull run is coming, so i rejoin this community and preparing some money what i can invest during bull run and booked some more profit again. I don't know trading, recently i loss in trading. So i need to choice altcoins wisely for hold and holding is only option for me where i can take advantage during bull market

my altcoins were also dumped since covid. when i learned an old friend died, i sold my altcoins so i could help rest him in peace. i never tried regaining those coins back because its a token that is not in a big exchange. most of what i sold are doge and TRX. it's only the doge that i got back so yea i have gained a lot in the bull run and i'm hoping i still will in this coming bull season.

everybody is making money in bull market. even the ones who are just investing in memes become the greatest investors especially if they invest huge amounts of money.

I think, will post it in scam section.

The country, city, email and phone number have not changed alsough 2FA not changed and it's enabled ))) I don’t think there could be any questions about the account being hacked.

The funds were transferred through the correct blockchain and appear in my spot wallet.

When I try to make smth with my money, I got the popup window:   Tip: Your account has been placed under protection due to detected potential risks. To lift this protection, please submit a ticket.

In "Tickets" section was automatically answer to my question about 1 month ago and nothing else, and no answer on my next question.

In the section support.gate.io/hc/en-us/requests I have been receiving standard responses from the same support for a month now, nothing has changed.


this is the format to report a scam accusation. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0

make sure you include evidence and screenshots. it'd be interesting to read their replies to you. i do have an account in gate when they launched a token but i didn't verify it. forgot to join the pump when i saw the price had already gone up. i think they are reputable though im interested to see their reason.


439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble with what you can afford to lose can actually make a good investment on: February 22, 2024, 05:26:01 PM
a year of waiting is too long to wait that's why wagering the BTC first can be tempting. and resisting can be very hard to do when you are surrounded by casino links.  Grin it's an uphill battle.

i'm sure most gamblers here are also investors. those coins they use to bet are just the ones they earn from signatures, those coins are just circulating in this small economy that includes the casino and the users in the forum. if we discuss how much we earn in bull run, those guys are still earning more from investment.

how can he concentrate and execute his strategy when he is drunk? it's an odd behavior, normally drunk people will just be watching naked ladies.
if your friend happens to have fat fingers, it's a double recommendation that he should stop gambling when he is drunk, it's not just badluck that causes his loss.

because this happens not just once, then your friend has the worse situation, he has alcohol addiction and gambling addiction which means he is bound to lose more money than he expect, it's surprising that he still has money to spend.
