1941  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it legal for our kids to learn trade? on: March 08, 2023, 05:25:46 PM

10-15 yrs old seems very early to be trading. Isn't the terms of exchanges not allowing these age brackets?

But if you have the money and you really wanted your kids to learn to trade as early as possible then why not.  But it must also depend if the kids also like to learn. For all, we know teens this age are still playing Princess Prom Night Dress up which means it going to be a total waste of money if the kids lose it all without learning something because he or she is not interested.

We're still early in crypto. That's what I thought back in 2016 also that I'm already late in crypto but I saw ETH from $7 to more than $1000. Now that it's back to $1500, it shouldn't be surprising to see it back to more than $4k in the bull market.

What is needed for an aspiring trader I think is that before the bull run, the dip of prices is pretty much low, and something the investor's sentiment has already dropped to the lowest. Which is also the right time to buy.

Lets wait for Jones to make his first heavyweight title defence and make a conclusion if he really is the greatest or not Cheesy So far it looked like it was an easy win for him. Stipe Miocic promised to smash Jones. Hope we wont have to wait years before Jones fights again. Who else we have among heavyweights ? Pavlovich ? Imho that is going to be copy/paste fight against Gane. Imho a wrestler is needed to win, a wrestler that will counter Jones wrestling, the one who will be able to throw bombs.

I don't think Stipe has a slight chance against Jones, he is also retired.

Dana needs to offer Francis to come back and fight. They wouldn't wait for the two to deteriorate by old age before realizing they need to fill the demand of fans to determine who is the best beast in this combat sport.  Or we will forever wonder who will really win if they both rage.
The money has to be really huge, and whoever refuses be scaredy cat.
1944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [UFC] Justin Gaethje vs Rafael Fiziev on: March 08, 2023, 03:28:06 PM

Gaethje is the most fun to watch whenever he fights. He is not very active anymore unlike in his 20s, he wouldn't last.

Bookies may favor Fiziev. Rumor has it that he'd been calling JG to fight him but JG kept voiding him. They do have impressive KOs though but Fiziev is younger and sharper, it's legkicks vs leg kicks or Fiziev will just have to avoid leg kicks to outclass JG.


1945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 07, 2023, 09:54:45 PM
That is why I dont like women MMA and their fights are always so unpredicted. Women fights are always a total mismatch on the paper, and a close fight in the octagon. This not the first time a woman fighter with 7+ odd wins. Zhang Weili was same underdog in her last fight. Dont forget Julianna Pena vs. Amanda Nunes upset. And I did not even started to google. I am sure I would have found more example. In men UFC, I can remember only how Leon Edwards make a huge upset to Kamaru Usman.

Men's UFC generally does not have too many unpredictable results. It is generally much easier to predict men's fights compared to women's fights. Actually, the odds are very misleading when it comes to women's fights. If men's fight is looking very competitive and good on paper, it can be expected that the fight is going to be competitive. But if women's fight does look to be competitive on paper it might be competitive and it might not, and vice versa, no one knows!

Rousey vs Holms was also the same upset. I'm already convinced that I would be betting for the underdog once they match a champ vs an unexpected contender.

It would appear like Dana's team knows exactly who to match up with and who could beat who whenever they meet in the cage. It tricked the bookmakers.

Probably many of us are just drinking and smoking during our high school days.  I wish we didn't sell our fishing boat, I would have continued the business.

One of the biggest regrets that rich old people told me is that they didn't produce many kids when they were younger.  I think I already understood what they mean by it. Because you want the things you have to give to them  If you have big properties, gold, and BTC, you would want your kids to have them after you die but having none or just one is just not very productive.
1947  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My arguement with a friend who likes POS instead of POW. on: March 07, 2023, 08:23:40 PM

Maybe include something like ETH does have a CEO while BTC has none. Having a CEO means centralization can be compromised.

I hope though you will still continue to be friends lol If this kind of conversation happened probably in the 90s generation, I think it's already a fight. You don't have to prove something to him, you only need to show the rank and the price comparison so I hope it won't end up in physical contact.  Grin
1948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 07, 2023, 07:50:39 PM
I think GSW is lowkey still a great team, people are sleeping on them even right now. They are the team that won it all last year, that is why I believe that we shouldn't really expect them to lose right away neither. They had some injury issues all season long which kept them low, but if they are in the playoffs, then they are contenders, of course with the condition that they stay healthy. I personally see a team that has curry, klay, poole, dray all on the same team with some decent role players not really that bad, they are quite good actually. Suns is good, Mavs are good, but GSW will definitely be good too.

They manage to stay afloat even with all the injuries they suffered this year. That is quite impressive. They could have a chance to repeat what they have done last year. They also were not on the top of the ranking last year but were able to win it all. But it will be harder to duplicate that right now since Durant is also in the West now with the Suns. The Warriors are still a contender, but it will be harder to win now.



KD was a big part of the team. It's disappointing to see him moving to another team. But they still can make it without him. It's a minor adjustment. Time to show he is not the reason why GSW will fail. There's Wiggins to fill the position. Against OKC, I prefer GSW after all SGA still is not around as well. Hopefully, they'll win.  If Poole performs badly still just like the last time, then he really has some issues to fix.
1949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In 38 Days, Freebitco.in is going to give out $200,000 in BITCOIN!!! on: March 07, 2023, 03:02:13 PM
More impressive thats its a regular thing but it has been the case Ive seen various lotteries have been operated to give out a grand prize such as a supercar or house.   That can be done sometimes as it has tax advantages and maybe its more profitable then selling the supercar or house to do so; I've definitely seen it done more then once.
   The FBC draw for 200k or the car is either on the winners choice and usually they take the BTC payout as the car has delivery costs possibly.  The BTC payout gives interest immediately which is worth having so long as the winner is not suddenly at that moment very bearish on BTC prospects then maybe the car would make sense to take.
  The interest paid would be about 0.35 BTC on top of the prize if retained annually, not enough yield to sway most people.  I have some tickets but would require extreme luck to actually take this, I hope anyway.

The car is an attention grabber, a Bitcoiner having a Lambo in the neighborhood will really give an impression to the bad guys lurking around. With the crisis happening globally. It's going to keep people around nosy about how an individual riding a Lambo in 2023. I would be taking the BTC instead if I win.

$200K is really huge for a giveaway and sure there will be a ton of users trying their luck for it.
1950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Creating a new type of DEX for leverage trading. Need suggestions/feedback on: March 06, 2023, 08:38:53 PM

Will the protocol you are developing be open-source so that all DEX can actually use it as well?  There are many that will likely be interested as well.

I have not actually tried DYDX for leverage trading. If x10 is enough for the DEX not to be bankrupt when everyone wins in the bull market then it is good for all anxious users to add more funds when they are losing.
1951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: March 06, 2023, 07:11:50 PM
~
Yes, it's true that at this time AI cannot predict who will win and who will lose, or maybe the developer did not include this in the ChatGPT system because if you think about it, predict by analyzing opportunities, abilities, experience and conditions of a the team can be assessed with specific statistics and it is possible that in such a program the AI will provide possibilities with such calculations. But it seems that it's not in ChatGPT yet, we may need to wait some more time to see its development in the future, and who knows AI can be as intelligent in predicting as humans.

It will need more updates in the future for it to be able to analyze updated data from sports news and bookies. They are going to be part of the data sources for AIs to be able to correctly set up replies to betting queries.

But still up to us to believe what it wants to say.  I am one of those who just bet through what others picked so I know exactly how it feels when betrayed by the information fed to me. Once the AIs prove to be useless in sports betting, we'll finally stop bugging after consecutive loss.
1952  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance.US again in trouble | SEC continues to harass offshore presence on: March 06, 2023, 06:58:12 PM

It's getting obvious already. First, the BUSD through Paxos and then this time, the binance.US which could mean they are to get binance.com. SEC has been the most corrupt so it's up to harass binance.com this time but like Ripple, Binance will be able to put up a big fight against them since they have the money. But I think they would have to provide evidence first on thier own before they can go on harassing.
1953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you know any telegram group where a lot of gamblers meet? on: March 06, 2023, 03:53:59 PM
Telegramchannels.me is already good I'm sure he'll find what he is looking for, but if you ask me I'll advise him to pick the one that will serve his purpose, when you are in a general group like gambling people will send you a lot of unsolicited messages and befriend you and try to manipulate you, people should be aware on how these people works and do their scheme, you have seen so many complaints about this in the scam section, so be wise and don't fall for profiles with a pretty face or sexy profiles. 

Telegrams though are not very organized, unlike discord where the admin can create a particular room for betting which is easy for members to just see information or chat messages if they are up to gambling. While if it's on telegram, the message can be dragged up and only the fresh messages will be noticed.

Telegramchannels.me made it easy to spot them all. If sujonali1819 can contact the admin and maybe pay the admin will agree to pin the message on top for a price.
1954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are there age limits to Bitcoin investment? on: March 06, 2023, 03:31:03 PM
There's nothing wrong with introducing bitcoin to children, just as we teach children to save.
there is no age limit for investing in bitcoin as long as there is capital they are entitled to invest in bitcoin. There is no age limit for investing in Bitcoins.

It's the kids that are the easiest to teach crypto because of the P2E games introduced to them on social media.

But them BOOMERS are also welcome. There is no discrimination in crypto. The wallets you install will not ask for how old you are and if you are under 18, the app will not generate a wallet. Bitcoin is open to all and so are altcoins. It would be fun to see boomers playing P2E games.
1955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you planning to accumulate for 2025 on: March 06, 2023, 03:03:45 PM

There is nothing more to hype anymore. While these days we see AIs booming, they may not boom by the next bull market after the halving. There is still a year to endure yet which is quite a very long time before we'll see the light by the end of the tunnel. Bull run makes every altcoin go up whether its meme or P2E.

My hunch is that because the West is cracking down on crypto, the altcoins that are originating from the East must be something that will most likely be hyped to rise faster.

Elon messed with the cryptocurrency market a lot during that period. Except for the pump of Bitcoin he caused, he also caused a lot of fuss with Dogecoin, which exploded right after his tweets. If he was messing with stocks, he would have been prosecuted now, but cryptos are unregulated, and he's free to do as he pleases. Although his tweets don't have the same manipulation power anymore.
You missed the part with Elon Musk as he manipulated the stock market and caused rapid shifts in the market and once that became a regular thing for Elon, he was charged by SEC for his tweets that had a huge impact on the stock market and then he shifted his focus on the cryptocurrency market where he was successful in causing huge rallies in Doge even the developers did not anticipate Cheesy.


I was also anticipating Doge to pump more during that SNL with Miley. Hustle to da moon and then woop, plunged the next day until the whole year. He literally made it a joke for all and then the Dogecoin millionaire loses his smile. Although he still has a ton of money, I rarely see that guy upload a youtube video since 2021.

There was an interview where Elon actually tried to contact the Doge dev. I'm not sure what happened but sure he also played that guy.

1957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 05, 2023, 04:59:46 PM
Jon Jones before this or rather in the past he didn't have a very big body in my opinion but he had above normal resistance to the point of taking a lot of hits, getting a disfigured face but the guy kept fighting and didn't show any signs of intention to give up and in the only good opportunity he had to immobilize the opponent he took advantage and did not let the opponent until he won the fight, with his current physique it will be very difficult for someone to beat him

before this fight started I believed that Ciryl Gane would have some chance of winning the fight, but during the fight when I saw the physique and the way Jon Jones looked, I soon realized that he didn't forget his old strategy, so I told I told myself that he would win this fight and I hadn't even paid attention that the video of the fight summary had the title that he won the fight, at which point Ciryl Gane was pinned, there was nothing else he could do but give up

And the way Gane was submitted was really brutal. The way Jon Jones got his opponent was unbelievable. There was no way Gane had any chance to escape from that. John Jones again proves that he is still a great fighter. His physical ability enabled him to get his opponent to the position in which he wanted. And after getting some punishment like that it was almost impossible for Gane to actually get out of that submission hold. For some reason, I feel like John John was far more ready for this fight compared to Gane.


And they thought Jones will be slower this time as he has gained weight. I was one of those who think there could be an upset to which I bet my money on Gane. He is the same guy even when he looks bigger, he doesn't grab the center of the cage but prefers to be on the sides.

It's a double loss when I see Valentina be bookies' favor. With the result, I think Erin Blanchfield can defeat Valentina I guess they may be set to fight soon.
1958  Economy / Economics / Re: War: who benefits and how! on: March 05, 2023, 04:23:03 PM
Winning country. Dominance.
But obviously, none of them are winning. Wars are not really beneficial and will never be necessary. Bigger problems will just arise and will just make the possibility for things to be followed by other countries as well. Hundreds and thousands of lives are being killed during a war. Economic crises are also being a struggle during such thing. It will also take long amount of time to completely recover and before making use of the dominance won over the other countries. This is just how power is being percieved by some countries who are used on solving inter country problems with brute force.  We're done with colonialism, we should never go back again with the time wherein killing and mass destruction are considered to be a solution.

Which side doesn't war to end is usually the one that has benefited the most.  It's always money.
I can't say it's not necessary because if Russia won't be aggressive, Putin will be overthrown and replaced by a US government-friendly president which basically means colonized. Powerful countries have been colonizing the smaller ones, it may not be the way like 1500 AD but it's all the same as colonizing.  Falkland is very far away from the UK but why do they own it? They colonized it the same as Hongkong a long time ago.

Once China becomes bigger, they may also do the same to Africa, put up a president that will make China thier world leader, and may even educate the African kids to speak Chinese. I believe they already are doing this.

But you can also say the US is getting weaker in the economy and has no manpower to go to war and the stronger countries like China and Russia is challenging their dominance.

How long have you been friends with this guy? I really would believe you just met him at a bar or a party and you got along because he shared a dope.
Because I couldn't imagine a friend where you both have been together for quite a while and know common friends scam you like this.

But then anyway, you paid a price. Two lessons to learn, don't be trusting too much and the other is that learn first before giving the money.

1960  Economy / Gambling / Re: who to trust in gambling sites? on: March 05, 2023, 03:32:04 PM
I am like a perfectionist kind of person , so ,
Hey dude, stop gambling and don't try to look for any gambling sites on the internet online, if you have a 'perfectionist' nature, if you have money, use it perfectly in other businesses, thus you can manage the business yourself and overcome losses.

You need to underline and know, in the world of gambling, especially online, all forms of risk can occur unexpectedly and at any time, The world of gambling, be it high & low traffic sites, games, bonuses and so on, cannot guarantee that you will appear perfect, optimal and so on, in theory the nature you have is a perfectionist, very different from the world of gambling, if your desire is to gamble, before you are mentally attacked and frustrated stop looking for online gambling sites, remember gambling is only for fun and entertainment.

yes, you are right no one can beat the casino ,

and you are like gone through that phase
i also, i m in depression because of gambling
thanks but newbie need these awareness
now i only play for fun,
not try to recover your losses it will eat you,


Easier said than done. You're gonna have to undergo that phase before you could actually see yourself and correct yourself.
Most of the trusted sites that are really promoted and are vouched by reputable users in bitcointalk are often good to thier words which you can withdraw whenever you like.

There are some casinos that aren't vouched for but they are thriving in their own community. There are casinos you can trust especially if they have yet not gotten some scam accusations. Can't help but insert where I play the lottery but it's on bethash.io
