El Salvador has made it as their legal tender so it's more than an organization that you're asking if there is that supports it as a currency. But not that stops it from there because all the features of Bitcoin is being supported by many companies that we're in especially on the forum, you'll various companies, exchanges, casinos, merchants and etc. that supports it as a currency. So if we're an organization, or pretty more of a movement then the forum itself is what you're trying to find as an answer and inside of it, there are bunch of other entities that supports or uses it as a payment and I think that's more than enough. Do you think it would be worth creating one?
No need to make one, all you have to do is to find people with the same interest as you and you're already in it.

You choose the society where you belong when you're older but when you're younger, you don't have an option to choose and that's why these beliefs and ideals start from your experiences, knowledge, and where you have come from. It's either it will develop and help you what you become someday in the future or, you're going to be another person built as well by that society where you have from and looking forward to be part of the better society that you want to be part of.
Like for the example of kids living in violence, it's likely that they'll grow up being violent because of what they've experienced and seen from the people on that society. They'll develop that into thinking that violent things are pretty normal because that's what they've seen from the older people that they've lived before. And when they are already grown ups, they'll have hard time realizing that they've been in a place that have been wrongly teaching them the ideals about life. There are so much with this society but you know what's good with it, the diversity about it. Whether we like it or not, the bad and good beliefs are there and the beauty of being diverse is what makes this world still beautiful despite that we don't agree to many things.

Retire, stop or take profits. That's all you have to do when you're at the right time of doing it. Stop when everything is going downhill with your day as you gamble. Stop when you want to take profits and you don't want the casino to take back what you've taken from them as your profits. And retire, when you say that you have no place anymore in gambling then that's all you need to do, to stop completely.
While we're all having these plans of taking some profits when it's possible and when we does. You're forgetting that moment when you're at high and making some money already. The emotion is stopping you to take profits because of your pride that you'll be making more later on but the opposite is what comes next to you. So, for if there will be opportunities that will make you stop and you don't know what to do. It's just best to follow your gut of stopping and forget about regretting with the chances that you might have because they're likely just going to lose you more money if you have never stopped.

The gambler who want to make a profit from the gambling site should guess the maximum accuracy.
I don't get about having this maximum accuracy. Is it a requirement that someone has to go with maximum accuracy of what? of winning? Because the gamblers who bet with the more accuracy able to win the particular betting,making the maximum accuracy in the game help the gamblers to make the big win in the game.
Accuracy of what actually? Accuracy of able to win or being good at gambling? There's a lot of accuracies that I am thinking of with just these words you've said. And why you keep on saying about maximum accuracy? It's something that no one can control if this accuracy that you're talking about is related to gambling. It can be said about this accuracy but you'll never be able to put that at its maximum. The random better was considered to be the guessing in the gambling site,but gambling was totally different one.Because the guessing should be made based on the probability and technical knowledge about that particular game.The gamblers should understand the luck also playing huge role in the gambling business,So the gamblers also increase their luck possibility by good deeds.
When it's about guessing, it's just like a total and outright guess at all. Because when you will include about technical knowledge and those information that has a basis then you're not guessing anymore, what you are doing is analyzing and that's normal in gambling. But in the latter, I'd agree with you about understanding luck but relating it to good deeds and increasing your chances by doing so, I don't see relation of it.

Guessing games to gambling games? I don't think that suits to become a gambling predictor when you're just alone as a good guesser. There are a lot or let's say that there's a huge difference between guessing and gambling. You can take a guess for the sports that you want to bet but you will not be good at it because there's no need for you to guess it where in fact that it's not a luck based game.
So, if someone is just casually good at guessing about things, relationships, or just some thoughts. That doesn't mean that he can be a good gambling predictor but who knows, maybe luck is with that person and you can try to do that and see where it is going to go. A person that just casually guess things and then became a gambling predicting expert, wow. That's such a nice jump of personality if you'd ask me.
But, let us just settle things that there are things on this world that if you're at something then you may not be good at anything.

Winning through a parlay is not that easy and if you guys want to hit millions there, I'll give you a big GOOD LUCK on it because it doesn't really comes naturally. IMHO, this is what pure luck does really means. Yeah, pure luck in a sense that you'd do your thing, analysis per matches and etc, but when you win big, you're not aware that it is going to come and you'll mostly be surprised by it because it unnatural. The way you guys talk about winning money from gambling is really funny to me because how do you comfortably win a million.
Yeah, they talk as if that someone can take an advise from someone today and win that tomorrow or within the next day. Well, we're just talking about it and it's all about the discussions and there's no problem with that. It's like giving advise to someone on how to do things but you're not even the right person to say that thing because when you're on the actuality, you do the different thing or if you do, you get a different result. I guess that just do what you think is the best thing to do when you bet in the sports and don't think of it as something easy that you'll get to win millions. I'd say that you enjoy your bets, DYOR at all times and it's okay to be aiming high numbers but please be realistic.

Even for those who want short term goals could easily see their investments grow like crazy by next halving which be in 2028.
Why wait for the next halving? Just focus on the current and let things happen in the future. Don't look yet on that year when we're still far from that. Take a closer look for this year and next year because as the halving comes, it's assumed that the bull run will come as a start to this year up to next year. And for those short term goals, you may want to have altcoins for that because they're known for it. "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"
This hurts me because I did wrong things on my holdings on 2021 bull run and that's making me learn it right now. That's fine because as long as I've got what it takes to hold and I understand the importance of it, that's what matters to me this day. We've got a different contributor this time and that's the Bitcoin spot etf and together with the help of halving too, we're expecting that the value will increase soon. This is just something i thought i would share with the community if someone wasn't aware but let me know what you believe and also please feel to share your thoughts on this even if you disagree with whatever i've said above.
I have nothing to disagree but just want to tell that you should only focus on the time that you're currently living. But there is nothing wrong to goal to the next halving but before doing that, take the advantage of what we're about go through and that's with this year's halving.

This is a problem for me and IMO also with the other boxing fans, we only follow the popular ones but we don't tune in to fights like this. I'd like to thank OP first for bringing this heavy weight match. It's been so long that I have watched an heavy weight match so I am no longer familiar with the heavy weight fighters on this era.
You mean you don't know the popular boxers like the following? 1-Anthony Joshua 2-Tyson Fury 3- Deontay Wilder 4-Oleksandr Usyk These are the popular big men in the heavyweight division but not all of them are champion, only Usyk and Fury are. So they should give a chance so people will also knkow Zhang and Parker who are into a title fight. Who knows, one of these two might become an undisputed champion, although unlikely though. I know Fury but it seems that I am just a fan of boxing with the ones that I know but don't follow the whole industry. Or just some specific weight divisions and that's why I don't know that much on this weight. Both of us haven't followed the category for that much but it's interesting that this has been brought and that's why I am going to take a look and watch some clips of these fighters for me to have some idea on what you guys are talking about. But typically, they're just all about the exposure to add some heat to the match and make some noise of it for everyone to have an idea that this match is coming soon.
He's old, that's probably a disadvantage, but he won his last two fights against a KO artist, so we can respect his power. That's good to know and adds to the flavor of my research with him. While age seems to be a disadvantage but as they always reason out, it's just a number and if he's got the prowess and power at that stage. He's still got some guts to do some KOs and probably on this match. Still, I need to know more for both of them.

I still think ultimately for the good of the game of basketball he should pair up with Steph Curry for at least one season. I think that pairing would be like LeBron and Klay on steroids.
Well, that's probably his next move when things don't go with the way he wants it to be. Was it that there were talks about him wanting to transfer in GSW, right? at some point like less than a year ago. Anyway, I am not expecting to have some good things happening with Bucks with Doc's first games with them and that's normal if they get a few loss but I am not trying to be negative as I want to be. There were talks about him going to Golden State but I think that was mostly fan talk. However, I believe he still hasn't signed an extension to his contract so I think after this year (or is it next?) he can decide to go wherever he wants. Yeah, that was like we're the ones talked about it and it was just a rumor or there's some truth on it but we'll never know until it comes from him. In my opinion he needs to go somewhere with good defense and shooting. That to me screams Golden State, but they'd need to hold on to Klay (is he still playing good defense) and Wiggins for their defensive abilities and shooting. Draymond would be as good as gone. I don't think it would really matter though. Steph and Giannis would be a combination that would be impossible for any team to stop. I think it would be more effective than Shaq and Kobe. I reckon for that transfer if he's going to find another team then it should be with the Golden State Warriors. But what's funny here is that he's trying to get his brother as well some career attached to his and we'll see if he's like that when his contract expires or he don't sign any extension anymore if there will be some condition that he's only going to go there if they also sign his brother. I dunno but it's just a happy meme that I've noticed with the talks on the socials when the topic is all about him. And speaking of Steph, did he just mentioned if there is another team that he'd love to play and it's going to be Hornets? Well, that makes sense since his father stayed there for a long time.

Hiring coach Doc Rivers could potentially improve their defense. They don't have a problem with offense as we can see on the stats below. https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nba/2023-24-nba-offensive-rating-team-offense-rankings-and-efficiency-statsThey are 2nd to the pacers with 124.6 average per game. So they just need to solve the defensive issue and I'm sure coach Doc Rivers will be able to do the job as the Celtics back then was a defensive team. However, it will be a question if he'll be able to improve or at least maintain their offensive rating. I am a Giannis fan but I don't like what has happened there all of a sudden. Giannis just heard something wrong with what Coach Griffin said against his brother and now, I've seen some articles saying that there's something wrong with his coaching and so him and Damian don't listen to his tactics and instructions. As a franchise player, you'll really gonna be heard by the management. But as an athlete and professional player, is this a right thing to do? Anyway, it's just pure business for the Bucks and they'll listen to their franchise player whatever the requests are so that their star won't leave the franchise. I'd say good luck to Doc Rivers if he's going to coach this team but he's just answering the call in the times of need and that's fine and he's having a job so any coach that they prefer, they just need someone who's going to replace Griffin as soon as possible and same scenario might occur again in the future. I don’t think Doc will be any better. The Sixers let him go for a reason…. The Bucks have underperformed over the years though so they need to do whatever it takes to make Giannis happy. IIRC, Doc just let James Harden do his thing when they were together. It may not be the best choice for the Bucks but I agree that this is just some welcoming development when they need some changes. I still think ultimately for the good of the game of basketball he should pair up with Steph Curry for at least one season. I think that pairing would be like LeBron and Klay on steroids.

I am not an active trader but one thing that I considers is checking the community of the project that I am spotting on. If there's so much valuable information that's being spread through its community then that means that they're helping each other and keeping their community informed on what they're doing. Like with the examples about the progress that they make and updates about listings, etc.
Honestly, most of them are just the same in terms of all of the purposes and updates but they're just choosing different chains on where they think is going to be best for their project. Some may say about the supply limit of the coins, well, I'd put that on the last list of my factors because many of them won't be considered valuable even if the supply is just few and they're just following the path and structure of Bitcoin for having a limited supply.
Keeping the community up-to-date with information concerning the project Development along the roadmap is key in a project I settle with too. Infact it is part of what I consider whether I will hodl a token long term or short. While it's actually a good key that we've been considering. There are projects that after being listed to exchanges and have got that valuation for their coins or tokens, they'll just leave and abandon the project when they're done with the sale of their own shares. That's what typically is happening from many projects that we consider but if you're able to find a precious one and still consistent, you'd definitely gonna love that project for real. That said, the team organization is the most vital factor I look out for and the performance of token on Exchanges if it's already listed.
This is vital because listing on known exchanges are going to take time and requires a lot of money. If the project you've been following lists on the small exchanges where in they've got a lot of shitcoins and pump and dump tokens, you may think that the project you're into with is gonna be the same with the flocks that are being listed there. So, what you have to do is before the crowd dumps it, you have to accept the fact that its category is the same as the listed cryptos there.

The Heat just got considerably stronger. https://www.nba.com/news/hornets-trade-terry-rozier-heatIt's a great trade for Miami. Giving up Lowry and a draft pick for a 23ppg player like Rozier is gold! Let's see who else is on the trade block in Charlotte. They want and need a rebuilt fast, so they will be collecting offers left and right. I doubt they will consider any talks about Lamelo though. I've seen this trade and news lately and Heat really knows what's best for them. I have nothing against Kyle Lowry but that's it for him and Heat with his role. Getting Terry Rozier by the Heat is a good deal. While Hornets is on the building phase and Ball needs some help there, let's see on how they're going to go up with the new roster that they're adding to their pool. But in all seriousness, if Ball wants to have a championship ring, he needs to step out of the Hornets and ask the management for him to get traded somewhere. If not, will he be able to bring the team at least to the playoffs or semis? we'll see if Lowry's going to be effective with that. Having that experience and being a ring and title holder, he's probably gonna be a big help for the talents there. KAT also did a record with 62 points but still lost the game.

If you are a lender, it's best to just stick to the typical interest rates. Even the banks, they're already considered the high interest rates for the money that they lend to people. Whether you are a believer or not, observe those people that are into this business and are charging way up high interest rates. I don't want to say something about it but just look at them and observe and see with your naked eyes on what they've come actually.
While interest rates are common when someone lends money. If you don't need money from lenders then you better stay away from them for you not to be also at fault blaming them that they charge high interest. Sometimes, people are going to them, those people that have no choice but are in need of money for some important matters that they need to address like emergencies and they have no option at all.

With the easy accessibility of the online gambling sites and tools, the younger generation is more involved in gambling. The risk for them is not only that they will lose money but gambling at such a high rate and at the age of teenage will cause them a lot of problems like lack of physical activity or no interest in the studies as they will more inclined to get easy entertainment in the form of gambling. The most effective way to address this issue is for the parents and teachers to play their part and convince the young generation the do and don't of gambling and how it can harm our personality and life if we are addicted to it. Gambling risks are rising for young peopleEven if the parents will step and remind their children or teens not to gamble, if they're around they are not sure what their children are doing. And that's why many we see that are into gambling even at a young age. It's easier this time and it's true that it's more accessible because of how easy to obtain a smartphone, and download some gambling app and that's it. They don't even mind if the gambler is a minor or not yet appropriate age for gambling. What matters to them is they've got another customer ready to gamble and deposit to their casino. While we don't like to take KYC, them, they're taking advantage of it because these kids won't even have the identity to place to prove that they're at the right age to gamble. And this is a fact that the rapid growth of online casinos, with the ease and accessibility of modern technology through smartphones. Having a problem like this seems to be the norm nowadays.

Those gamblers who have been in that situation have one thing to do and that's to change for the better, it may not be for the money but it should be for themselves. Especially when you have affected and spent the money of others, you're not going to like the consequence of it because the person to whom you owe that money will lose your trust and that's more than gambling. Losing someone's trust is hard to get back.
And for you to return it is going to take the time or might not be returned anymore. I don't have a similar experience but we can see from OP's story that there's always a change for the better and all you have to do is make amendments and change for yourself and you're going to see the better part of it. No one is going to change you but only you alone and there might be some help but they're not going to be consistent so your only hope is to be willing and embrace the change.
You can still gamble but it will be a different matter right now because what you'll be doing is you'll be aware on how you're going to do it unlike before, you're reckless and even it's not your money, you'll be spend. You'll become more responsible from now on.

Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.
That made me sound like an old man hehe. How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?
Prepare your budget on how much you're willing to gamble for today. What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?
Expect losses and you're not going to win a lot so your very first gambling experience is literally mostly for your experience. So with that, you know how to counter that expectation? You've got to think of how you'll have fun with that. How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose? Thank you all for your helpful opinions.
Be open to any results and as newbie in gambling, you could have that beginners luck but don't lean on that too much and as much as I want you to think of the negative results because that's likely. Well, just think the other way and positive that no matter what happens, it's for the pleasure that you're gambling.
