1201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What have you got rid of to accumulate Bitcoin on: March 30, 2023, 09:53:18 PM
Some people said that selling off your properties for any reason sake is bad unless its an emergency, well I say, selling some part of my land is an emergency for me to grab some more Bitcoin, I feel like 2023 is going to be an incredible year for Bitcoin investors, I could get some more lands in 2024 or when Bitcoin makes a new ATH, what do you guys think? A stupid decision or a brilliant one? How will you take this?

Also share me what you have sold this year to buy some Bitcoin, we will still be here in 2025 and I can't wait to share my incredible success story on the forum, Bitcoin loading, 100% acquired.

What are you doing to get yours? Let's talk
Investing in bitcoin is good, but you can always invest in it from your hard-earned money, and not from the property that you decided to sell so you can invest in bitcoin. That is a very risky decision mate. If you lose, you may lose your property as well. Good thing I don’t have any property to sell lol, just to invest in bitcoin. I just used my profits from signature campaign and when I already earn good amount, I decided to invest them in bitcoin.

My addition.
Dont interfere with a topic that you dont know because it will create spam, especially in technical discussions.
Besides, study it first and learn more further before joining in such a discussion.

You forgot the very important that beginners should be avoided.
Copy-pasting or plagiarising from the article without citing a source, it's a mortal sin here and there's no chance if you have proven to do this.

Overall you stated was right, apply it to your self and see it on the top, good luck OP.
If you don’t want to be a target of banning, then acquire sufficient knowledge and information first before you start joining the forum discussion. At least, when you start posting, you will have something relevant to say that other forum members will notice and appreciate it. Otherwise, your post will be deleted because of low quality content.

While plagiarism is considered a violation to the forum rules, so one should always avoid it. It’s okay to copy paste but always include the link or the source of information so you will never be subject to plagiarism.
1203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez on: March 27, 2023, 06:06:52 PM
It's obvious Josh Taylor is the one who is the real upper hand in this fight and it would really be a major test for Lopez to get through this guy because this is the fighter you can't show some lazy defense because he will gonna finish you in the early rounds. My prediction here is TKO because we already know how strong Josh Taylor is in this weight division and this fight here is his message for his next opponents in the upper division it means he will go to each one of them and they gonna need to watch out. Hope that he will win easily on this one and will gonna move there fast.
Taylor is certainly the slight favorite here, and Lopez will remain the underdog. And I’m sure a lot would agree to this. Although both have almost the same boxing stat, but seeing how Taylor performs in the ring, I would say he totally got the edge over Lopez, and so Lopez should train hard in preparation for this match so he’ll be capable to beat Taylor even when most of us think that it’s quite impossible. But let’s watch and see then until we see it with our own two eyes as who will dominate inside the ring.
1204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 3) on: March 27, 2023, 05:03:41 PM
This may not be an exciting fight, but at least we'll get to see Casimero in action again. By keeping himself active, he'll be ready for bigger fights in the future. Although his opponent's record isn't scary, Casimero still needs to work hard in training and should not underestimate him. As we all know, upsets can happen anytime in boxing.

Hopefully, his next fight will be a championship fight. Let's watch this!

By the way, where will this fight be held?
This is the first time to hear Casimero opponent’s name since I have never seen him in any boxing matches. Though his boxing stat is never impressive, but we should not underestimate him as a professional boxer. He might have the speed and power in boxing, no one knows. But to think that Casimero is a dangerous and powerful boxer, my vote is for him. Let’s see by then who will be the last man standing in the ring, would it be Casimero or this quite unknown opponent.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about this? on: March 27, 2023, 04:14:07 PM
The pastor shut down his ministry, you could say he doesn't want anyone questioning his gambling adventure that resulted in him winning more than half a million USD so it's best to just shutdown.  He also confessed he wasn't really called to preach lord's work. He just did it for money.  Embarrassed  

We're all guilty of something, I would still forgive the guy even for wagering the money that is from the congregation. Hope he donates some to the church he once with.
The pastor is just being reasonable when he shut down his church because he knows exactly that he cannot serve two masters at a time, regardless if he’s a real pastor or not. And he knows for sure that it’s unethical to see religious leaders addicted in gambling, so he decided to gamble instead than to continue deceiving the people around. Well, for me his action might be dishonorable, but we know its for the good. Than to keep on hiding his real identity and continue to commit heavy sin.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The future of CBDC in gambling. on: March 27, 2023, 03:26:45 PM
I don't really see how CBDC are a game changer. Online crypto casino should stick to legit projects like BTC, ETH, DOGE, LTC etc... They have already proven themselves and they work just fine. Just don't do any business with the govs and let them implode.
CBDC can be a game changer if the government ban the whole stable coin, the worst case they ban all cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin. If the government force their citizens to use CBDC, we have no option because we can't reject it, especially if there's no cash is used anymore.

However I'm not supporting CBDC and I just hope the government will not ban all cryptocurrencies because it will create a huge panic.
This could be possible as the government will certainly favor CBDC over cryptocurrencies. So if the government will stick to CBDC as the legal tender when it comes to legal gambling casinos, then we have no choice but to follow the rule. However, I don’t see this happening soon, and I’m not actually looking forward to make it happen. Between CBDC and cryptocurrencies, it’s still best to gamble with decentralized ones.
1207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much these features weigh most when you choose your favorite casino? on: March 27, 2023, 02:49:13 PM
Good help desk
Strong community/ Reputation

Instant deposits & payments
No Kyc
I'll put all of these into priority.

No actual number on it but just as solid reference that I want for most casinos and it's like coming from 8-10 in no particular order. That these features are majority of our concern whenever we go to a casino and have some fun.

We all want a solid community and reputation of a casino as that really makes a gambler confident and worryfree whenever we gamble on them plus having a good and very responsive support.
Good help desk and strong community/reputation are my topmost priority. I think once these two are almost perfect in rate, it just means that the rest that follows are also highly exercised by the casino. So I don’t have to worry whenever I gamble on a highly reputable casino and has a good customer service, these two already guarantee that I am gambling safely and that my money and profits are highly secured from the eyes of the bad people. And when I make sudden complaints, the casino will surely address the problem quickly.
1208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: March 26, 2023, 09:59:17 PM
It's a waste of time if your affiliates are not depositing. But if they are playing, then you will get commissions... how come did that became a waste of time?
As what have said before, claiming the reward is extremely easy. No time is wasted.
Exactly. The fact that you will get commission once they decide to enter and play, I think that is already an advantage for you. You can already enjoy a free bet or whatever kind of reward that the casino will credit to you. It will only be wasted if you cannot enjoy the reward. And if you are just playing in a legal casino, you will eventually get those referral bonuses easily, like you can also lose them easily lol.
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: March 26, 2023, 09:35:31 PM
Chasing losses for closure? That's just a silly justification to me. Any person who thinks that way is already considered a gambling addict in my book and is only finding absurd reasons why he keeps on betting. I can confidently say that there will be no closure even after he manages to get a winning streak. He will still gamble his winnings until he loses again. The cycle continues......
True, totally an absurd mindset. Once you learn to gamble and you develop deep addiction from it, you will never find closure from all your bets, regardless if you win or lose in the process. If you win, you will chase for bigger profits, if you lose, you will still chase to recover your losses. So there’s no closure in gambling, you will never stop gambling unless you decide to from quitting from gambling.
1210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does your country tax your gambling winnings? on: March 26, 2023, 09:20:31 PM
I live in Australia and we have no taxes on all gambling winnings (lottery, hose racing, sports betting and casinos).
I know the USA has gambling taxes and I think it's ridiculous.
You are risking your own money and if you win you are penalised.
I'm curious as to how many other users have to pay taxes on their winnings.
In our country Philippines, all forms of gambling are being taxable except for those not legalized games. Like for lottery, if your winnings will exceed 10k, they are subject for 20% tax deduction. But below 10k winnings, you can always claim the full amount of what you had won. I guess for me that’s not bad at all, at least you can always give help to the charity.
1211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stay humble and go your own way (invest in yourself) - the best strategy of 2022 on: March 26, 2023, 08:59:26 PM
Best of all, sticking with your plan. It's easy to have such a list and plan to follow it, but actually following it in the long-term is the harder part. People often underestimate how emotions(fomo, panic, etc) can easily mess up a person's plans.
There are always obstacles that we often met along the way while we are reaching our goals, but if we can stick to the original plan and focus on it, we will sure to succeed particularly in long term investment. Mostly, if we are not strong enough to face different emotions, we suddenly fall and quit, but if we are determined enough to  beat them and stick to the plan, we will always succeed in the long run.
1212  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Too late to start? on: March 25, 2023, 10:39:57 PM
you've joined this forum since 2019 and you just asked if it's too late to start investing in crypto?
If you don't start right away you will keep running late and you will be abandoned by other users. 2017 when you know about crypto you should have started to think that crypto continues to grow especially bitcoin. Take a look at bitcoin's journey from 2017, you must already know that price fluctuations and increases in bitcoin prices are extraordinary. Then what still makes you doubt?
If you don't start now, then when?
If you stay on that mindset thinking that it’s too late for you to invest in crypto, then you will always miss the opportunities to invest and be profitable in the future. But if you start taking the risk now while the market is giving us a good entry, you will have all the chances to grow your investment and reap what you sow in the next years. If you have studied how bitcoin started and how its price has prosper throughout the years, then you will never hesitate to invest, and enter crypto investment now. There’s no late in crypto, you only have to enter at its best market entry so you will make the best of your investment and enjoy the profits at its fullest.
1213  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mistakes small or big that will cause us a lot in the future on: March 25, 2023, 09:59:36 PM
Use the full potential for security that's all people are tired and they don't want to use those features as one of the functions that could project with their assets.

As long as you can make a changes with that small mistake habit there's a chance you will make your funds more secure. My suggestion and ideal to use is with the hardware wallet and make a good storage for your seed.
If we can help ourselves not to be used from that small mistakes, then we can avoid the chance to get hack in the future. Most of the time, the reason we get hack or scam is because we are too confident to trust other family members or close friends to access our own account, without thinking that it could put us in danger in the future. But if we become too cautious and responsible to secure our privacy, I guess that’s really possible by not trusting anyone and by choosing a hardware wallet that makes our coins more safe and secured.
1214  Economy / Economics / Re: Lending money or damaging family bond ? on: March 25, 2023, 09:45:10 PM
One big lesson I've learnt in life about lending money is that the whenever you want to lend money to a family member or friend who you don't trust his financial worthiness, the amount should not be more than what you can let go for him/her. Some family members will or friends do borrow money they perfectly know in their herat that they are not gonna pay back. So instead allowing a lended money to damage family bond, it's better not to lend in the first place

Another lesson is that when you lend money to a relative, never expect that they will pay you back.  This often happens within the family and relatives but whatever it takes, I would rather be the one on the giving end than on the receiving end.  I will still lend money even if there is no way to get it back.  He is my relative after all.  We have been generous to our friends, what more to our kin especially when they are in times of trouble.

No matter what @OP situation is I can only conclude that money is more important than his relative because he worries more about the payment than the situation of his cousin.  Grin
He could have lend him some money even at a small amount, at least his cousin will not feel bad at all knowing his finances are doing well. And to think that his cousin is jobless that time, so it’s obvious that he’s in trouble with his finances, lending him even with a minimal amount is a lot help already. I just hope that family would be our first priority, than anything else, particularly with money matters.
1215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin loan for students in higher institution. on: March 25, 2023, 09:30:52 PM
Good day guys; I said  let me know if the forum have a board where students are being support in education by giving them student loan To help them in education, so many members here I believe are students in various higher institutions so many of them fine it difficult to pay school fee's or pay rented apartment,buy textbooks and hand outs or even feed very well or access to student loan boad,please I want to know if there is any room for students in this forum in universities to access student Ioan, i said let me drop it here because I have not seeing education board.
Not trying to be rude but if you want to ask money in here with loan then the chance of you getting one is incredibly low, because you need collaterals to do it and most of the people here are really skeptical with newbies trying to get loan as their first post in this forum. Have you actually asked for loan in your local bank or something? Pretty sure they have some sort of plan for students loan especially with your problem.
Right. Do not expect that you can easily ask for a loan from the forum especially that you have not proven anything in the forum, and you don’t have any collateral to present. Here in our country, I remember our school before has offered educational loan for students, so you can ask from your department head if they are also offering that. Otherwise, you have to provide a stable income first so you can be approved for any loan.
1216  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you feel when....... on: March 24, 2023, 10:54:00 PM
I know how this will end up soon knowing that when a meme coin is pumping it's just for temporary period as whales are trying to influence the people to invest in them but what is the utility behind these coins they never look at it.For me they doesn't matter a lot because have seen these meme coins dumping hard and they are not going to moon in the end.

If you have made quick profits out of them then it's really good because we all want profits but there are some people who got influenced that they have long term potential but that cause them major loss so for me withdraw ASAP with little or high profits or simply stay away from them.
You cannot expect from meme coins to stay profitable in the long run. We have seen a lot of meme coins in the market, some really did great profits but after that, those coins eventually end up as dead coins leaving those investors at a huge loss. And I don’t want to risk in that kind of situation. What I’m looking is profitability for long term, so I decided to stick with bitcoin and stay away from meme coins.
1217  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? on: March 24, 2023, 10:29:38 PM
actually the main thing is that government should keep check on the cost of things which are of daily uses and edible things so therefore people will have no worries about the cost.

The people blame government because the salaries does not enhances as much as the cost of other things increases therefore people become unable to manage their life expenses. Almost in every country the people are facing such situations where they cannot maintain their lives expenses and poverty is on its peak because people don't have any job or other technique to get income.
If this inflation is actually giving a hard time for all those employed individuals, how much more for those jobless people. I think the government should start to consider increasing the salary rate especially for minimum wage earners so they can still live a balanced life and can still afford to eat thrice a day despite of the foods prices surging. Well, for jobless people, they should also learn to work and earn a living, as controlling poverty is not a full responsibility of the government but also on the citizens themselves.
1218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Guys!! I was finally able to buy my home thanks to Bitcoin!!! on: March 24, 2023, 09:48:33 PM
congratulations mate , it is a rare occasion to see someone here that already purchase such dream while I only accumulate to buy a Motorcycle and a Mountain bike and a Laptop , soon I will buy my car or even my dream FARM when my bitcoin spikes to what i am looking for.
in the next couple of years I believe.

I believe there are many people on the forum who own a lot of bitcoins or have achieved their dreams through bitcoin investment but people don't want to brag or they like privacy. In the area where I live, I meet a lot of young people who already have houses, cars, and even real estate, and most of them have joined the market since 2017. Their success really made me envious because I also entered the market no later than them but I didn't seize the opportunity better than them. But I believe that if I persevere, success will also come to me, I am also looking forward to the next bull season.
I guess OP itself is just being proud of himself and would want to show to the whole community that he’s very grateful for what bitcoin has done in him. But I also understand that most of the successful investors or traders in bitcoin have remained low key and keep their privacy in life. But one thing is certain, if you never quit from your bitcoin investment and you stick to your faith and you always persevere in life, good things and big achievements will eventually come into your life.
1219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pastor Shuts Down His Church After Winning About $140,000 In Sports Betting.. on: March 24, 2023, 09:27:15 PM
To be honest, I never see any reason to quit my current business if that is operating legally and is never at the verge of losing. That would be a loss for me if I do that. But on the case of that fake pastor, it’s really reasonable to quit and close the church so he can stop from his wrong doings. Maybe a big win from gambling could offer him a lot of help so he can establish a legal business that will generate him good amount of income so he can provide for his family.
1220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Casino Sites Cheating Us? on: March 24, 2023, 08:47:58 PM
Casinos have always the chance to cheat us whenever they want to but I don’t think they want to be more known on that because that will only ruin whatever sacrifices they have built from the first place. So just consider yourself unlucky that time and lose the big amount you bet. I’m sure a lot of those who lose too are also betting bigger than your money bet. Next time, never bet on an amount you can’t manage to lose and end up suspecting the site for cheating.
