It can't be stopped.

When we grow older, having more responsibilities and obligations. It's part of growing old. Those that don't have much and can't easily deal with all of those problems that you're overthinking about needs some things to do.

Do what you are comfortable with as a stress reliever. Most people does their own thing to relieve the stress from overthinking. Some are finding it with their comfort foods and drinks.

Those that have experience in business, it's easier to move on and buy businesses. This is what Microsoft and other huge companies does.

I think that you'll see your own progress when you're already on this point of way of your life in the business sector and that means that you're growing and making a better progress.
We can go for whatsoever we are interested in especially if the funds is there. Getting funds these days is not easy and one would have to work with extra time before we earn good amounts of money that could pay our bills. It is good to start our business ourselves just like buying grown business too. Evening buying or partnerships with other businesses still has it own risks. It is good for us to start our business afresh so that we are sure and confidence to grow the business without any third party needed. If we are business owners I think we are going to know many things about businesses that would improve what we want to do.
Well, you're a businessman now whether you're acquiring businesses or you're starting your own. These bills could have been paid with your actual business or with your other jobs that you do while establishing the one you own now.

Wherever you are good with, you gotta love what you do and that's for your own sake as you're growing your business alone and not others.

This only applies to the big corporates who have enough experience and both financial and manpower muscle to take over without much challenges but for an individual it ends up as disaster as far as i have seen but it would depend on nature of business as different people have different mindset and business plans.
Nope, it's applicable to everyone.

These big companies started from zero as well and learned all from their experiences and also from the other bigger corporations before.

To make it clear everyone cannot acquire business and have a smooth transition and rather starting from scratch would help. These big corporates like Microsoft and others are successful and easily manages the acquired businesses because they started from scratch when they started their respective organisations and they are aware how things works.
That's true that all of them started from scratch but why think that acquisition only applies for the big corporations? it's for everyone who are growing in business.
1023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: December 22, 2023, 09:23:38 PM
If you are addicted, not only will your relationship with your partner be damaged, but your business will also be destroyed, everything will be destroyed if gambling becomes an addiction. Usually, if someone has experienced an addiction, the negative impacts are very real, starting from finances and attention to our partner will also decrease because we will be busy thinking about gambling and forget our duties towards our partner.
An irresponsible gambler that becomes addicted will affect everything that he does. Job, business, family, etc.

Be it known that everything that's going to make him money can really be affected because he's irresponsible. And that's one big challenge whenever a gambler faces that.

The sure thing with that is he's going to notice all of the changes and even if he want to change for the better, he'll have hard time.

i'd argue that its gonna be different if we are talking about some small business, because sometime starting over might be worth it if the business is not that complicated also have the advantage of making our own brand under our own name.
if its business acquisition like whats done by microsoft or other huge corporation companies out there they seemed to buy the system that some company built including their patents as well as their talent and workforce.
so arguably buying by shelling out some money maybe through posession of majority shares or just outright buying the private owned company might make more sense as to not rebuild everything from scratch since building one is rather difficult therefore large corporation wouldn't hesitate to shell out some good money for them.
You've just said the pros and cons of acquiring business and starting from scratch.

after all there are also possibility of failure in the way of building such system.
Every business is certainly have that risk of failing. Because you are unsure if the first startup business that you are building will be in demand and good.

That's why to anticipate it is just for you to think of failure as a lesson. And that's why businessmen are expanding because of their experiences and learnings that've been made and gathered by them through those failures.

That's how important water is to our bodies and if there are people that don't take it seriously. I don't understand why they don't because it also cleanses our body toxins.

There’s laziness first of all some people see drinking water as a chore because compared to sodas, juice or other sugary drinks, water is not exactly the most delicious drink so instead of drinking water with enjoyment they tend to feel lazy to drink water seeing it more as a chore than a pleasure
Laziness or not.

What people need to realize is about the health benefits of intaking water at most times. No one stops you from drinking these sodas or sugary drinks.

But with that, you still need to intake water no matter what and how much intake you do for those calorie drinks.

We don't want to get blamed but sometimes when there are people that are curious with what we do, we're also excited to tell it when someone shows interest.

But this time, we shouldn't feel like that because what matters today is peace and privacy. We don't want people to blame us because they invested and they lose and the main reason for that will be said because of us, if it's not for us that we introduced it to them, they won't be losing money.

See the logic of these ungrateful people.

There will be once in one lifetime that one will regret knowing about gambling. This commonly happen after a heavy lose, especially when you lose a huge and an important money to gambling. And also sometime you will be happy about it especially when a money from a winning bet save you from something.
There is no doubt that there are gamblers that regret that they've been into gambling or someone introduced it to them. But can we rewind the time? no.

That's why if we are still regretting it, that's fine and normal because it always happens in the end. And after your regret, it's the best time to just move on and think of your own affair.

Gamble or not, or do something meaningful for you.

This is why or the reason on why i have that no plans on explaining Bitcoin or crypto to other people on which i dont really like on getting blamed. Doesnt matter if it talks about crypto investment or crypto gambling as long it would be connected to crypto then they would really be always having that kind of impression. Regrets couldnt really be made or be mold out if you do really know on what you are doing because if you do have that kind of treatment towards gambling then you are just basically putting up yourself into the pit of problems on which this is something that must
be avoided or hadnt done in the first place. You cant really just that make yourself that having that kind of problem if you are really just that responsible.

1028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Black Rock could chose another btc among past forks? on: December 21, 2023, 11:29:59 PM
At best, they'd have to file another application which will most likely get rejected because every other fork of Bitcoin is either shady or bad for business.

That's what we know but who knows if there are some clause that it's possible. But with that, let's just keep it as is and let them handle their own problems whenever they encounter one.

And for now, there's no ETF approved yet for the recent ones that's been filed. Yes, there were some Bitcoin ETFs in some places but this from US SEC will make more demand, noise and FOMO.

Well, there's not much we'd be able to do until the ETF is approved. Like you said, there's no way we'd know the terms or cplauses of the filing. This ETF is going to get approved. I've already started seeing some commercials about Bitcoin ETFs plus it's been a long time coming. I saw a report that BlackRock was seriously shopping and accumulating Bitcoin at the heart of the bear market so they do have a skin in the game if the story was indeed true.
Yeah, we're all feeling the same that it's likely to get an approval from the SEC. With the news came out that they've been in talks for several times.

That means that there can be like more chances of seeing this live soon. But until it gets an approval, we should still insist that we have to wait and halving as it is going to be the major event of next year if we don't see any approval at all.

I haven't encountered someone blaming me that I've taught them how to gamble and never did I as well.

With these gamblers whining that they've been into gambling and finds someone at fault, they're just looking for someone to blame for their losses.

It is a very common thing when an irresponsible loser gets tremendous losses and can't recover.

And this doesn’t just happen around gambling, it is very very common in cryptocurrency because people talk about cryptocurrency with more confidence than when they talk about gambling. This is why many big accounts on twitter and other social media platforms ask people to do their own research when talking about a crypto project. And the same case happens when influencers post their opinions about sport betting… they normally warn that people gamble responsibly because they don’t want to be put to blame when it goes wrong.
It is different with crypto.

Well, that's an experience that I'll always remember that people I've talked in the past and introduced Bitcoin, I've just told them to buy and invest only with small amounts.

But when they have seen the 2018 bear market, most of them quit and put the blame on me and the rest is history and that's why I'll not talk to those people again anymore related to Bitcoin, I remember all of them even though I have weak memory nowadays.
1031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Black Rock could chose another btc among past forks? on: December 21, 2023, 09:52:32 PM
I don't think that there will be anymore fork that they'll be interested in. But said as such, they can do whatever they want as long as it is intended and indicated as part of their approval.

But IMO, that doesn't make sense if they're approved for BTC Spot ETF and then there goes a fork and they'd jump over that. In paper, I don't think that it's even possible to do it on an instant. With all and such, there are processes but they're already for Bitcoin.

That's a huge leap of faith with his sportsbetting skills. I'm willing to take risk with small amounts when the potential reward is high.

There's no problem with that but this requires so much luck that I think won't happen to me in my life time. Whoever is the one that shared that winnings, he's proud for sure.

But I hope that he'll take care of that money very well and won't let it back to the bookie so spend that money wisely.

According to OP, the stake was an equivalent of only $18, that's not a massive amount of money even in the Philippines, and pretty much any working person could afford it say once a month.
Yes, that's just a small amount to consider to bet for having that winning.

The winnings are also not life-changing (meaning he could not retire with that amount alone), so there's nothing wrong in putting some of it back and hoping for even bigger win. Especially if we consider that the guy was pretty skilled in analysing odds rather than relying on a pure luck.
In today's value of that money, it's true that it's not life changing but with such amount. It can help that person do important things that he need to do with that kind of amount. Still, it's a big help.

But if he decides to bet that back or a few amount of it, then good luck because chances that it may repeat is unlikely.

What if Elon works for Satoshi or would it make more sense the other way around?
Steve Jobs...
Nice theory.

But we will never know and if Elon works for Satoshi, he would probably have said that already through a Tweet or an interview before but I've never heard him say anything like that.

I guess that he's also wanting to know on who actually Satoshi Nakamoto is but he's one of us that we'll never know actually he is.

It is part of human nature that we fear something that we don't know yet. Looking back in the past, Bitcoin wasn't exempted with that nature from all of us.

Many have been skeptic, what's with this Bitcoin and Blockchain and how they're going to revolutionize the world and the technology sector. Not until we start to see that it's growing so fast and it skyrocketed in value and that's when many became interested on it.

1) Scam: Even without being told some many people has been scammed while trying out new things they got linked to either by social media influencers or celebrities who pretend to be involved in the things but at the end it turned out to be scam.
2) Trust issues: most people believe that new things don't really end well especially when the particular company or name involved is not a well known company or brand they believe it's not good to give it a try, this is because most people don't trust new inventions because of trust issues rhey have in their minds.
I agree on this, there were a lot of internet scams in the internet for all of the times since the internet has been founded. And that's also another reason why people were and still are skeptic with Bitcoin. We can't blame them but they will be left by the train.

That's fine.

But the concern of many here is about the forum that on exact January 1, 2024. There will be no more mentioning of these mixer brands but we're all free to discuss about mixers in general.

So, you're all free to use them any time you want even pass that deadline.

1039  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not for everyone! on: December 20, 2023, 09:54:59 PM
Those that are lazy and don't want to trade, at least there is an option which is a very effective method that everyone will agree to.

Hold when you can't trade but that doesn't mean that you're limited to holding. But if you want to try trading, there is no one that's going to stop you.

As long as you can get the heat of the market and you're willing to stay and learn as much as you can with the amount of money that you're also willing to lose, that's what trading for beginners.

If someone takes the taste of trading then he never want to invest in any coin because investment demands time but traders wants to get a expeditious profit but unfortunately they get a expeditious loss of cash. Everyone knows that trading is perilous as compared to investment but they run away from investment but accept trading instead of the fact that although time is required but profit is also very big in investment.

Holding of coin is a suitable option because with investment you can use your own decision to further continue or take the benefit from the enhance price. As in past people have opt Bitcoin at low price so now they have opportunity to take the profit or further continue there investment because here your money is not at much perils as in that of trading.
Well, it changes.

There are traders that want to become investors because they can't take the very pressure of the market. And on the other hand, there are investors that want to get involved in trading but let them explore what they want to explore.

It is their money that they shall do the experiment and whichever works for them, they'll determine that and we're all hoping for the best to all of them.

Using mixers aren't illegal.

But you know that these secret agents/FBI themselves are closely eyeing into these services because of the money that's being mixed there from scams and hacks. Yes, if you do nothing illegal, there's nothing to worry about. Advertising it on starting January 1, 2024 are no longer allowed by the forum so it's just here.

If you want to use it for increased privacy, you're free to do so.
