It's also one reason why I'm thinking of looking for another job. Because the budget that I have been allotting for our needs, it's not that much anymore.
Inflation hits too much and one biggest reason is the continuous oil price hike. I wish to see back that $70 per barrel so that things will start to decrease on its prices and with the strong interest rate of the fed, things are making it more expensive.

Sometimes, I'm like poker face whenever I see these roll backs. But we've got no choice but just to be grateful with that little roll back but soon and maybe after a week or two, they'll make the increase higher and more than the roll back. It hits hard!

It's because there is a market for them. They won't be back if there's no market for them but due to those investors that are eyeing them and thinking that they can profit from them, they come back. There's no solution for that but the investors will eventually have to turn away from them when it's no longer profitable and for the side of these project makers, they'll just revert the attention of their investors by doing some updates or making a new project that will look interested to the same investors that they've got.

This is now my mindset. Before, when I read threads like this and there were people asking why I'll do if it drops to rockbottom, I'm too scared but as I've matured on this market.
Understanding that it's a cheap price to buy will make you want to have more because you know that it will recover no matter what happens.
That's what it is and you will only think that hopefully you've got enough money by that time it happens. But let's be real, that's highly unlikely to go into reality.

Yes, that's the right term for those predictions, shills. While on the other side, when we predict good prices for bitcoin in the future, these max-altcoiners will tell the same thing for us. But it's hard for them to swallow that there's more and a brighter future for bitcoin since they've skipped investing on it. While for some situations, those predictions by high prices, targets and for the next years could just be a bunch of trolls that wants to play the emotions of the supporters of the coin they're predicting.

That's ok if it is your preference. No one forces you to buy before or after the merge. It's better be safe as they say and that's what you're trying to do.
Wait until the merge is done and have yourself decide again if you're totally okay with the status of the result and then start buying if you think that it's nice and good or wait until if you think that it's not yet that right and fixed.

The entirety of cryptocurrency market is running on speculations thus, called a speculative market. Those who are giving their predictions in the future are no doubt holding that asset and they're probably holding a huge bag of it.
They might have the data for what they're predicting but most likely, it's all about what they feel about it. Like if you've invested heavily on those, you've got that feeling that they might grow in the future whether you back it with analysis or not.

You should take care of yourself. It's the actual investment that you use and your partner to earn money so it should be the first thing to take care of. Because once you feel some unusual health conditions, it will affect your daily work or worse, you can no longer work because of it.
It really sucks that as an employee, we need to allocate overtime if they dictate to tell it when you're already set an appointment or told your family that you'll go home early. But you can contest those things if you have to and I've seen those people posting it anonymously in reddit that instead of contesting it, they're quitting when they're always treated like that.

Thanks for accepting me, I'll provide my Utopia public key later.

Edit ~ I have sent you a message and provided my public key and edited my application post with it.

Outsiders is now waiting at the grand finals. But Betboom and Navi, all of these three are now good with their secured spots for the last chance qualifier.
I agree with you that Outsiders deserve to get that spot but they're waiting if they'll get the slot for the grand finals. Renaming the team into Outsiders from being VP is actually a good move by its management and that made them still participate from most Valve events despite the issue about Russia-Ukraine war.

Posting in the forum is like the last action that you can do if all of the options that you have is already gone. But before you post, unlike the others, you shall gather all of the evidence and provide them because if you're going to accuse a casino that didn't allow you to withdraw your money and you're at fault, you're just making a joke for yourself. I have read the same thing but some really are valid concerns that they're not allowed to withdraw due to the fault of the casino and the sad thing, some of those casinos are the ones that we look up to and think that they're one of the most reputable not just in the forum but also in the entire crypto casinos. Talk to them, sometimes it will just take you a couple of hours as they resolve your issue and there's no need to prolong that into thinking you need to post in most forum if you and they are cooperating to each other.

Take care of your health. I used to work more than 100 hours per week because I was younger and I can handle stress and haven't felt any fatigue in my body. Soon, you'll realize that you need to minimize the working hours you do per week because your health should be prioritize.

Nothing has changed, 8-9 hours per day so around 40-48+ hours and you're likely not a good employee if you don't allocate a few free overtime. Yeah, these companies sucks and that's why I quit too early.

4 day work week sounds good for me. This will really give employees more family time and in return, they'll do better in productivity.

I believe of the same thing that you've said. It's not a good thing to hide that you've been gambling, this can create trust issues between you and your wife.
But it makes sense to hide it from your family like if you're not yet married and you want to hide that you gamble because you're scared that they'll know it someday.
It will create the idea that you're a gambler and you're not that good in handling finances because that's the taboo by those non-gamblers to the gamblers that they know personally.

Thank you yahoo and Punt. Hopefully, you come back and decide to go on. 

That guideline could be helpful for those that really can't think what to do and they're in the middle of a personal gambling crisis. While we have our own allocation. I think the main logic there is tightening the budget for your bankroll and that's the good that I can get from it.
Although it will still depend on me and I have no metrics that I'm basing from my salary per month or per year. So it's like having a spare money at that very moment and it will be the one that I'll use as my bankroll.

You don't have to think about it because bitcoin is the main attraction in the market. I've just mentioned the other projects because of the upgrades that they do for so many times. As you say about the increase, it's probably the price that you're talking about. It's always like that when bitcoin's price increases, then the rest follows.

All of them rides to bitcoin because it is famous and most projects are relying on it. This is the reality so whether there will be or there's no development for bitcoin, they'll remain the same as what the other projects do.

It's sort of giving that proud feeling that he's been here in the forum together with satoshi. And now, all of us here are enjoying the early works that he has done for bitcoin and for the community. Although, there would be speculations that he really is the actual satoshi but let's just separate the two personalities that have both changed the lives of many which includes me. Much respect for Hal for being selfless and for contributing a lot to the bitcoin project that has been once being doubted by many. But look at where it is right now, changed millions of lives and still going on.

Well, that's the business the bank has. They will use our money and we get less in return for that deposit. And with some news in other countries, they were even have hard time in getting their own money due to policy issues.

Putting their money in the precious metals are a good style and technique. Many millionaires does that but in our time and generation, bitcoin is the key man. It's essential to have an emergency money in the bank when you need some cash but you don't have to deposit all of it and let them use it to earn for their own business of lending and capitalism.

It's not worth it to save your money in the bank if the inflation rate is higher than the percentage it gives to the interest rates. It's better to spread it to investments that has a higher percentage than the inflation rate because it will make you deal with the high prices of commodities through it.
I rarely save to the my bank accounts these days but I still try to put as much as I can so that, I treat it as an emergency fund but at most times, I convert it to bitcoin.

Me, I like carrying cash but it's also convenient if most of my pocket money are in digital wallet apps. I save not that much anymore in the banks but if you wanna save, that's the best control. It feels like it's a hassle if you're going to withdraw your money trying to look for an ATM so you have to exert effort and allot time for it. So, the banks are really good just for saving but as an investment or earning interest there, you barely get enough. Convenience is with digital wallets and there's no need to choose between it and crypto because you can have both of it at the same time.
