661  Economy / Economics / Re: What would you do in this situation? Invest or save? on: October 03, 2023, 06:55:06 PM
If you have plans to start a dream business that requires a capital of  $20,000 and you were able to make a savings of $15,000 which obviously isn't enough to start up the business, what would be your decision or advice?

1. Invest the $15,000 into a smaller business hoping that the returns will yield the remaining $15,000 in a short period. Note that this has the potential of failing and wasting the already-saved  $15,000.

2. Keep the $15,000 while doing other work that will yield the remaining money over a long period.

Would love to see your input or a better suggestion apart from the ones I pointed out above.

N/B
This is the typical situation a friend finds himself and we are just brainstorming in what best to do.

If you are really that in the verge on choosing whether you would be saving up more or would really be engaging on some business then it would really be definitely be that depending on you. So the main question is;

How long you've been able to save up that $15000? It would reflect out on how long you would really be able to get that another 5k.
Can you really that take up risks on running a business and make use that 15k as a capital and earning 5k with it?

Dont make yourself in a rush and its up to you on trying out to scale out on which method you would really be that able to see that it would really be a viable thing to be done.
We do know that not all are risks takers and love on doing on the much lesser risky kind of method. All of us doesnt really want to lose up money but in order for you to
have those kind of advantages then you would really be needing to act fast so that you wont really be finding  yourself that getting behind specially
if you are really that aiming for some opportunities that you might encounter along the way.

I was in the garden this evening and I was think on my bet that I placed on this evening game, then something came into my head like...are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.

There are so many of us that are responsible gamblers and we only gamble to entertain ourselves not for making profit. Since gambling is done for fun, it becomes part of us, this is because we enjoy the fun, and some persons uses it to relieve them after a long day stress at work. We always assign some portion of our income for our gambling activities because it has become a habit in us. I know that some of us hasn't thought of quitting gambling because we are responsible gamblers.

My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?
I am not referring to addicted gamblers that will learn a hard lesson before the quit, but only responsible gamblers that are taking all prevention measures to addiction.

I will answer first.
I will love to quit gambling when I am 42yrs because I don't want to give gambling much time and I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.
Doing gambling responsibly is only for those who gamble to find pleasure in gambling it will be very easy for them to leave the gambling habit because they are not addicted to gambling, but for those who have experienced gambling addiction, it will take a long process to stop the gambling habit they. Yes you are right, only responsible gamblers can stop their gambling activities whenever they want. I will not gamble past the age of 40, I will stop gambling when I reach the age of 38 and look for other pleasures to relieve stress.
Having that control would really be definitely be that different whether you are already that old age or not, not all does have that kind of control towards gambling on yet there are even old people who do still that really

that impulsive when it comes to their treatment towards gambling on which it is really just that right that they should really be that careful when it comes to engaging specially if you are that someone whose
really that very that impulsive when it comes to this matter. If you do see that your arent that addicted and could simply stop and go on playing gambling then it should be fine. Usually when we are on this
age situation on which you would really be that mainly thinking about relaxation and relieving out stress which you might consider it out that it wont do any harm but of course its something that different
because gambling addiction is something a problem that cant really be solve out so easily.

Playing gambling isnt bad despite of being old, as long you do find yourself that responsible and could really be able to handle yourself well then it wont really be that a problem i would say.
663  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop Trading on: October 02, 2023, 07:14:20 PM

1) Series of Losing Trade
3) When Emotionally Unstable

If you are  really that experiencing this shit, then better stop and having a pause on what you are doing. Trying out to reassess the situation specially of that consecutive losses on which we know that
it is really that something that should be cut and then thinking on where you do go wrong and this is something that a must thing to be done. Next, would really be that emotionally unstable which
on the time that you are on this situation or condition then its better to stop completely and make yourself having some pause or break on what you are doing. Unstable emotion could
cause bad decisions on which it is something that must avoided.

Clear up with those boggling things deep inside you because if you do trade on such condition then you would be basically be that putting yourself on danger because
you cant really be able to assess the market condition carefully or on the right way specially if you are really under the influence of emotional unstability.

This would actually depend yet we know that there are oldies who are still really loving on playing gambling despite of their age and doesnt mind whether they would really be that still pending and do really engage on such

activity. Well, its our money that would really be used and not on other people on which there's no way that people could stop us out on what we are tending to do as long we dont really wreck ourselves.
Gambling doesnt really limit out people whether they would really be that old or young because we are really that free on what we do tend to do so because it is really just that for entertainment
in the first place. The only thing on here is that we should  really be still that responsible on whatever things which are really that our priorities but since we are old then
its not really that something that we do have in mind and we do usually be thinking about having some relaxation considering that we are already that bit old.
665  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: October 01, 2023, 09:33:12 PM
This, pretty much. Its bit too late to hit anything above 30-35k in Bitcoin. We are too much into bear market. Normally there would be reaction to dumps if we were going down from 60k to 40k etc But we are going down even from 30k levels to 20ks. Its best to spend this year accumulating Bitcoin at lowest prices we can ever hit. I would honestly buy a lot Bitcoin from 22-23k levels. I believe it will hit 80k at least in next bull run.
A favorable entry point indeed. In the coming months, a slight bearish trend may guide us all towards a support level at $25,500, and should Bitcoin dip below $25,000, we may re-enter the realm of $22,000 to $23,000 thereafter.

Before a bullish run typically ensues, a period of bearishness usually precedes it, followed by a sharp price rebound. Traders often refer to this as an opportunity to accumulate more assets and maximize profits when prices turn bullish in the near future.
This is what I am expecting as well, while a great deal of people are expecting that as soon as the halving happens we get a bullish movement, I think it is way more likely that things will remain roughly the same and then we could see a decrease on the price as people begin to sell disappointed they are not obtaining the immediate profits they were looking for, however this is the perfect opportunity to accumulate even more bitcoin, as the bull run seems to be inevitable to me.

Our common opinion is that the bull run is the future. We have ideas about when it will come, but we all say we need to be careful. I think it is positive that we approach the market in this way.

Since the predicted high prices did not materialize, we are now considering the price to fall and collect Bitcoin. I'm really curious about what will happen during the halving. I wonder if the price increase will occur before or after the halving.
Putting up into our minds that a market cant really just having that single path to take on which means that if we are moving downwards and sideways for too long then its really that impossible for the market on having

no upward movement or would really be having that recovery on which it would really be just that so normal that you would anticipate that it could happen anytime soon specially now that we are fast approaching
on halving event which we know that a its a huge catalyst for the price to pump but no one really knows on when it would happen. Now we are on the talks about recovering on 69k for this year?
It is really just that too far off basing on the movement that we do have now on which we do even have a hard time on breaking 30k again then let alone that previous ATH that we are talking on here.

This is why it would really be that important that you should not really that anticipate or expect much with those numbers so that you wont really be finding  yourself that getting disappointed when the time comes that
it didnt really happen. We are dealing with a speculative market on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be dealing up with something that unpredictable.
So it does need that speculative approach at the same time you would really be needing to take up the risks.
666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: October 01, 2023, 08:35:12 PM

Casimero is only in the rank 7. If anyone deserves the shot to a title, it's Luis Nery but even him was skipped by Innoue all for unification. There is a possibility that Inoue will move to 126 lbs and probably skip all but challenge Robeisy Ramirez. After all, he already beat Fulton which is below Robeisy so fighting Fulton I think is more of a strategy to get the WBO belt from Robeisy.

Too much hype for Luis Nery. He will just be eaten alive by Naoya Inoue if they will face off. Nery was being skipped by Inoue? Definitely no. Inoue is not like that but it's om his promoter that is arranging the fight. It's just that Nery is likely prohibited to fight in Japan (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Nery is just full of talk. I don't see him a good match for Inoue.

Marlon Tapales is the most reasonable boxer that Inoue should face and it now happened. Casimero will soon catch up but to become a champion again regardless of who will be his opponent at that time.

I think Nery will be too small for Inoue though, although Nery has the power to knockout anyone at this weight, but he hasn't face a fighter with a caliber of Inoue. For me, it's better if we will see Nery vs Casimero, two trash talker and had power and see who will be the last man standing.

Inoue should focus first on Marlon Tapales, although we wanted to support him as a big underdog, but we really haven't seen a boxer close to defeat Inoue. Only Nonito was able to almost beat Inoue in their first encounter, very close fight and Donaire broke Inoue's orbital bone. But after that, Inoue level up and knockout everyone he fights, including a rematch with the Filipino Flash.

A prime Donaire would have been a better match. They are both fast and are willing to open themselves for a punch so they can counter because they know they could hurt more. I remember him against Montiel, it was phenomenal. Inoue is just one of the feared boxers in the lower division. He will continue using his mandatory card til reaching 140. Its probably the place where he could finally find opponents with serious firepower by the likes of Prograis.

Tapales may have defeated the fighters down him but not Innoue.
Trying to climb up the ladders and be able to face up those powerpunchers on higher weigh division then this is something that he could really be able to taste up.Yes, he might be that dominating on lower weight division
but doesnt mean that he would really be able to achieve it on higher ones but lets see on how far he would really be able to reach out but basing up on this fight perfomance and stats then it would really be just that somewhat obvious that this guy would really be going further. Potential match ups would really be mold up along the way on which it would really be just that normal that fight arrangement would be done
and lets see on whose fighters he would be face up but for now he would be needing to unify all of the belts on the current division.

Its up to him whether he would really be that next on stepping up another higher weight or would really be dominating still this current division he's in but there's no sense on doing that
once he do unify all the belts, so most likely he would really be stepping up and this is something that he might pursue since there's no other way if he would be pursuing
to be great into this field or career.
667  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Psychology and tips on: October 01, 2023, 07:32:50 PM
Easy to say but difficult to implement, trading is much riskier if one does not have the knowledge. The most important thing is that you have to know whether trading is something suitable to do or not, because not many people have the ability to survive when the trades they make result in losses. Psychology will have an impact before we get involved in trading risks. No battle is always won by a group of people and worst case you get shot and die.

This illustration may also apply when you trade because you cannot always make a profit and there are times when you suffer multiple losses when trading. How can we win more in trading than lose, because without us realizing there are times when the right position in trading will result in losses, if we don't change our trading patterns at any time.
That's such a true thing, it is easy to say it but not easy to do it at all. I personally would love to be like that but trading is harder than most people think, and we should be more careful about it than we have been so far and that is going to change a lot. I know that things are not that easy and there are some stuff that could make it change a lot but if we are careful about it then we are going to be fine.

I personally do not really feel like there is going to be anything that would not be all that well, and should definitely reach to a point where we could end up with a greater return and by the looks of it we are going to end up with a good profit if we just focus on learning how to be a better trader.
You would really be finding out for yourself on how hard it is, it is really that true that giving advises would really be that so simple on which we could really be able to point out those important things and telling them about that sensible things on what must done but if you are into their shoes then you wouldnt really be able to know on what you should gonna do. Trading is something that cant really be precisely be that you do able to get it on first try or simply being a newbie. You would definitely be experiencing those common problems along the way and its true that psychological and emotional aspect would really be the main issue that you would really be able to encounter on which you would really be needing adapt and really make yourself that versatile.

Tips? There's no such thing about tips and tricks because what you do really need is to find out for yourself on what things should really be done and what things should be avoided.
This could really be acquired through real experience and this is something that you should really be that minding to do so. Sustain and survive on which this would be your main
priority. Market is unpredictable and this is why its better to have that kind of mindset on the time you do decide on touching up this market.

Do you think security measures in Casinos and Resorts got tougher since this massacre took place?

No one knows but pretty much sure that they have toughen up their security because there's no other incident happened after that(hopefully) there would really be no next situation
with this type of accident which do really waste up tons of life just because of whatever reasons that he had in mind.
Would be as easy as it was back in 2017 to bring dozens of weapons and ammo up to the 32th floor of a resort nowadays?

If you are that someone whose that financially capable then you do almost have the access and there's no way that they could really be that
strrict on whatever things that you do bring inside your room or hotel or whatsoever but pretty sure that after the incident happen
then there would really be those drastic changes in security.
If you were in charge of a casino, what would you do to curb the risk of something like this ever happening again?

Very strict on entering the vicinity.There's no such thing about exemptions or whatsoever no matter how rich or reputable you are
on which you would really be needing to pass with those security checks first before entering the vicinity or premises.
669  Economy / Economics / Re: Early Retirement [Pros and Cons] on: October 01, 2023, 05:55:12 PM
I read a very interesting article that actually happened very realistically.

Quote
retiring early is the new American dream. Imagine working for 15-20 years (instead of 40 years), investing half your income and retiring in your 30s or 40s. But a few early retirees have found out that it’s not as amazing as they thought it would be. We chatted with a few people who retired early — and then realized retirement wasn’t for them and started working again.

- I Wanted To Continue Providing Value
While retiring conjures up images of spending all day on the beach, many early retirees don’t feel satisfied doing nothing.

- I Wanted a Challenge
Retirement removes the challenges that work presents, which can be a good thing, but may also lead to boredom and a lack of purpose. Early retirees who have gone back to work respect the challenge of working for a business.

- I Wanted More Financial Security
Retiring early takes long-term discipline and a large enough nest egg to support your needs for the rest of your life. Sometimes early retirees simply didn’t have as much as they thought they needed or wanted more money to feel secure.

- I Didn’t Want To Retire, I Just Needed a Vacation
When you’re stuck in the daily grind, you might feel like the only escape is retiring from work forever. But in some cases, you are simply working too hard and need a long vacation.

- I Have a Passion for Entrepreneurship
Once you are retired, you have more time to pursue your passions. For some, those passions include entrepreneurship and running a business.

this story is the same as what my cousin experienced, he retired early (at the age of around 35 years) now he is around 45 years old but there is an illness he is suffering from and he has to get proper treatment which quite expensive, so he sold some of his valuables and also withdrew his investment in shares.

as long as you can still make money, don't even think about retiring early, I know early retirement is everyone's dream but who knows what will happen next, you have to maintain your grades and productivity so that you stay healthy and respected by people.

If fate doesn't favor then man has nothing but ignore it. Every man is mortal and must die. However, if one is diagnosed with a fatal disease before reaching the appropriate age(old) , nothing can be done. Not everyone can retire at the age of 35. It was a joy for him as he got into retirement but everyone has to worry that he has a future. If early retirement comes, then it is natural that his later life will be rough. On that account the mentioned person must have needed to make more assets or if he had kept some money for his emergency rather than putting all his money in the shares then he would not have to sell the shares.
Fate would definitely be one of the factors on which it would determine out whether you would live a life longer or not which we know that there are people who dont reach out that retirement age but had already experienced out those unfortunate conditions on which we didnt really been able to hope for. Retirement on age 35? On the time you would really be able to reach this then it would really be just that you had won up something big on lottery or getting some inheritance or do able to succeed on business but if we do talk about on your day job then retiring on this age is not possible.  Life is indeed rough and things wont really be just as smooth on what you are anticipating on which decisions would really vary whether you should do this or that just to make yourself put up on a situation on which it is really that better.

There's no way that we could do or tell on whats ahead and this is how we should really be that doing our very best and cherish out every moment that you do have on this world because we dont know
on how long we would last. Speaking about retirement then it is really just that too soon but if thee are some opportunities of better things then why would
tend to ignore or reject it out?
670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: September 30, 2023, 09:35:09 PM
Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.
Governments have been concerned regards gambling practice on their territories since a long time, with many of them completely banning the activity from their areas, while others are more concerned about it only now, due to the fast spread internet and cryptocurrency have proportionated to the industry. The worries are caused by religious beliefs, income evasion to foreigner companies and potential damage to the health and financial life of the citizens involved in gambling. There is a consensus nowadays gambling has to be practiced with limits and ethics, and those who don't follow these basic guidelines are completely out of the game.

But then all this misuse of the money and the damage to the country's finances is only limited to the gamblers only? Can't the traders or anyone using the crypto can do money laundering and other illegal movement of the money? I don't think that gambling damages the countries as a whole but yeah when it comes to the individual level, if can ruin your life if you are not a responsible gambler and gambling without any plan to save your capital.

Only the experienced gamblers will save themselves through risk management while the rest of the gamblers will only lose money in the long term.

Agreed. Country can’t be damage by gambling but rather it can help boost the country economy by opening the casino for overseas player. I think only few involve in gambling which this number is not sufficient to give a bad affect to the country. The on,y yime we encounter a real addiction threat in our country is when online sabong becomes popular during pandemic while most of the people don’t have job and keep losing money on this online game but still the number is not even close to the 1/4 population here.

Government ban gambling mainly due to religious belief conflict, most of the country that ban gambling is more on Muslim country which condone gambling activities.
Government would really be always having the decision whether they would really be allowing gambling or not but in most cases they would really be allowing it,considering on how big taxes of which gambling could generate and this is why it would really be that they would really be giving out priority and addiction would really be that just on their second priority and this is something that would really be depending or varying on them but most likely they would really getting in line with economic development rather than on minding about their citizens condition about possible gambling addiction.
Being responsible towards your gambling activity then it is something that you can really be able to blame to the government but it would really be that depending on you since we do have
our own will towards things and making up decisions basing on whats good for us.

Risks management and responsible gaming is really that crucial because it is really that something that would really be that important because you would really be able to avoid possible gambling addictions
because having that kind of common sense towards your actions will really be avoiding you into those possible situations that might happen into you. Gambling isnt bad as long you do
make yourself that responsible towards your actions then you wont really be that be able to experience such problems. It is really just that there are people who are really that
trying out to ignore their senses on what things should be done just for the sake of making easy money or quick bucks.
671  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does bitcoin price increase after halving? on: September 30, 2023, 08:46:00 PM
The word halving is spreaded everywhere but the occurrence of it is not swear to the fact because as crypto is volatile and unrevealed so same is the reality of its each event. People are accepting bitcoin due to halving and because of this acceptance halving can occur because we know that as more people are buying bitcoin so increase will be cause by this.
Totally agree, halving does have the influence to increase a short term demand as we approach this day but to say "People are accepting Bitcoin due to halving" you lost me here buddy as it sounds like you saying adoption will be happening because of it.

This increase will be for minimum time according to spectators because more people will find the suitable time to sell their bitcoin
This is one of the reasons why actual halving effects take time to be seen, as everyone won't see the prices they thought BTC would jump to because of it and would sell after the halving itself.
So halving will result in a slight drop before the big move, so for this most awaited event people need to think long-term.

I am afraid this might lead to disappointment as we will only see a temporary pump as everyone has a misconception that price will skyrocket post halving or even before halving due to which there would be from demand in the market due to FOMO
True, and its the FOMO before the halving that causes the temporary raise and the disappointment in the small moves that will cause it to drop before the big boys buy off the weak hands who choose to sell post halving to profit from the small gains.
This is the usual stuff  that do happens on which there would really be some temporal pumps knowing that there would really be those people who would really be that investors or traders on which having those kind of
assumptions when it comes to possible price movement specially if halving event is fast approach or lets say that only a few hours left then for sure there would really be a FOMO thing that would happen where
small pumps or those long green candles could be seen on this particular moment on which it might really be that creating that vibe that this might be a the start of the bull run season but if we do try to look up on the past on what do really happen is that there are bull run kicked in after a few months of post halving season on which it is really that safe to presume that it would really be happening after the halving event.

Lets put up into our minds that there might be that last dip before the market would really be having that its complete u-turn and this is something that you should really be looking upon and trying out to be wise
and utilize those dips for your advantage and you could really be able to maximize your profitablity once the market will really be having that pump. Somewhat it might really be that so easy to be said but
it is really actually hard to be done knowing that there's no way that we could really be able to tell on what are those possible bottoms that we could encounter. If you are that someone whose
really that going for long term then it wont really be that much of an issue for you on whatever market condition you would really be able to encounter of.
672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Tips for Consistent Profits on: September 29, 2023, 10:00:06 PM
LOL! There are no effective betting tips for consistent profits. This is nothing but a myth. There are betting tips like OP mentioned, but they are not for consistent profits. It's simply because there are no consistent profits in gambling. If consistent profits were true following certain tips or strategies, NitroBetting itself would have already gone bankrupt. The idea of consistent profits is not true either in casinos or in sports betting. It isn't true at all.


The consistent profit is not an possible phenomenon in the gambling.The OP should reconsidered the word of consistent profit from the gambling sites.Even though gambler used the tactics,it won’t allow the gambler to win for all the time.If the consistent profit was the possible one in the gambling,no one will do the trading or stock market trading.All the people will do the gambling with all the holding money from their savings.The current status from the Nitrobetting was big issue by them on the bankrupt.So wining the continuous profit from such gambling site is questionable one.
Its never been possible and its better that you should really be that having no kind of thinking or mindset towards gambling or betting with constant profits or wins because you cant really be lucky all the time.

Betting tips? Bet according into your own analysis and experience but dont make yourself that way too optimistic on winning on each bet. This is where thrill comes from on which you dont really know whats exactly
be the results of your bets and this is why never ever make yourself having that confidence because results or reality would really just frustrate you out and this is something that you should avoid.
Gambling is for fun and the real essence of entertainment would really be removed on the time that you are already that too desperate on making money or expecting for sure win which we know that it cant be possible.
673  Economy / Economics / Re: Early Retirement [Pros and Cons] on: September 29, 2023, 08:41:15 PM
Early retirement is not the correct option,because you can earn after the retirement.But the sudden medical expenses you need to sell some assets or stock which will push you backward a decade.So it’s better option to work atleast till your 50 years which help you with the medical insurance which was covered from you salary.The medical was the unexpected one for now,even my mother and father had get into the health problems.Being a freelancer,I had suffered a lot to manage the funds for medical expenses.
You wont really be finding yourself to have those kind of problems when it comes to medical expenses if you do have just put up some budget on medical insurances on which we know that it does really give out that kind of

benefit specially if you do know that one of your family members are really that having those kind of body conditions specially when we do get old on which you would really be somewhat lessen up the burden since you do know that there's something that supporting it.Speaking about early retirement then it would really be totally depending on someones preference because there are ones who do love their work or job on which
even on the time that retirement age had been hit up, they do still refuse on retiring just because of that love of work but since efficiency is already that affected then agencies or companies would really be
needing to lay off to those old workers.

The pros on retiring early is that you could really be still be able to enjoy on the time that you had left specially if you could still travel and your body isnt really

As a Filipino myself, I have witnessed several cockfighting scenes in my hometown city and various parts of the province in the past. It is also common in some lesser-known Filipino TV channels who advertised cockfighting.

But I have never tried betting once on these cocks.

It is now being outlawed here in the Philippines. During the pandemic, there are many guys who were apprehended by the authorities even in the underground or hidden locations due to citizens reporting them.

Until now, I haven’t seen much of cockfighting activities here in the Philippines for gambling purposes.

I remember seeing cock fights on lesser-known television channels before. I even thought before that they were losing money since I expected that there would be fewer viewers. But I was probably wrong since cockpit arenas during events are always jam-packed as for my own observations.

The last time I heard is it is actually back in business mate. As early as last year when a lot of people were already vaccinated and the COVID-19 cases lowered. Cock pit arenas are open again but maybe some places are not allowing it. But so far I heard a lot of them are already open since some people from different places I know once again started traveling to places where cockpit derbies are happening.
Cockpet arina has a lot of money cause the entrasnce fee of manny person's. And also we all know that sometimes the total amount of being jockpot In Cock pet is arround 1M fiat  from the country which is very good and big amount of money and that's the reason why once a a lucky player wok that amount they will become an extra millionaire but it's hard to be a champion in that situation casuse it will matter how you trained your Cock how you care your cocks.
And what matter the most is about luck. Race,good care, management, training wont really be that an assurance that you would really be able to win because one flick of that blade which would be hitting up on the fatal
spot would definitely be turning the tables and this is why you shouldnt really be making out that kind of confidence because anything could really happen on a cock derby.

Speaking about entrance fee in the arena ? Did make some search and found this
During the Slasher Cup, cockfight competitors each pay a $1,000 entrance fee, and an estimated $600,000 changes hands nightly.

https://reuters.screenocean.com/record/846403

Biggest or one of the biggest prize?
With prize money reaching 8 million pesos (195,000 USD), the international cock fighting derby held in Manila this week has attracted 190 participants and hundreds of betters
https://reuters.screenocean.com/record/375499

So you could really see that there's really a demand into it and this is something that signifies that demand and recognition into these places or countries
are really that high. Animal cruelty? They dont really care as long this one is already that been allowed and legalized.

Does anybody know if the 29th of Sep really is the final deadline?
Yes, basing up on reading their support page.

The deadline for filing a proof of claim on account of your customer claim is September 29, 2023 at 4pm ET.
https://support.ftx.com/hc/en-us/articles/16738866768788-Filing-a-Customer-Claim

So it this would really be the last day for those who do tend to claim. Pretty sure that it would really be requiring that KYC
knowing that this is something that do attached with claims. Speaking about on when it would really be given out and how much % they will really be tending to return
then everything is something that cant be answered by only by them.

If you as a gambler who want to dive into affiliate with the casino want to earn anything meaningful at all then you must first of all have to put in a lot of hard work it not your affiliate earning won't be anything meaningful and that could be discouraging at some points.

So the better and best way to be a top affiliate earner is by making concius attempts to build up a formidable networks and this is also determined by the total downline wager amount because that is how your earning will be calculated and payout unless the casino makes different rule since they have the absolute right over whatever payout they choose.
The mistery is where to focus this hard work, or where to invest your money to build a decent and productive network of contacts who will follow your lead when promoting your referral links. Many have already tried the spam route that consists in following and being followed back by everyone on the internet at social media accounts, so you would theoretically have a vast number of people watching your content being posted in real time, increasing the chances some of them would click on your links and sign up through them.

However, for real it doesn't bring many referrals, or even better, active referrals. The challenge on this field is to attract the right people, that is, people who will bet considerable sums of money at the casinos and generate you passive income through referral comission. Once you find out how to do this, the mistery is over, at least for you... Cheesy
But first then you should really be trying to make that empire first or literally speaking about having that network which we know that building one isnt something thats very easy on doing so because being followed by people
is something a challenge on which neither you would be doing it manually or would really be going into that fast manner but it would really be requiring that hard work and good ideas which would fasten up the process?
Of course you would really be going on something fast and we know that not all people does have that kind of confidence on marketing out himself into the market which would be generating followers which he could make use later on.

its true that if you do really focus on gambling field or industry then you should really be hooking up the right people that would really be joining up your network because it would really be no use or pointless
on having tons of followers but those people arent interested on gambling then sign ups that you would be getting would really be less which is already that anticipated this is why
you should really be that smark and really be able to point out on where are those sweet spots on which you do really need to focus on so that you would really be that somewhat
effective or something that worth of your time if you do tend to run up with this kind of career.

Quote from: Y3shot
 
Do not let the price of bitcoin right now make you give up on you investment plans, the drop in price is just a distraction to make you take a decision that can make you regret of the better days of the market coming.
I will not give up in my holding, because I know very soon investors will begin to experience massive pumping from the market that will make investors to hold until that particular price they want to see before they can sell their coins appear in the market before they can sell to make a passive income.

Normally, investors who know how the market has been moving for the past few months will definitely not give up and will also use the opportunity to buy more satoshi. However, anyone who has accumulated some bitcoins should hold on to the investment. The time to sell is coming, which I believe everybody will live to witness and benefit from. I believe even if someone is new to the investment, they need to know that the market is not favourable to selling their bitcoin at the moment, so I will advise these people to keep holding their coins. If they have funds, they should even invest more if they can leave it there and take the risk because, obviously, the time will soon come.
We can all just be speculating on the price, so even if you are here in the market for so long, it's hard to see where it will go in the future. For the past few months or at least half of the year though, the price is moving sideways, so this might be the trend up to the end of the year. So there's no need to sell it, look at the long term. Next year will be halving time, and with that, it will be the catalyst for a bull run in 2024-2025. So everyone is going to excited that we should just keep moving and not bother by the price. And on the contrary, smart investors are accumulating. Even us average joe players and retail investors can learn from them. By also saving a lot with our small capital in at least in the next six months or so in preparation for the halving.
Being here on this market for long or for how many years doesnt really give out that guarantees that you could really be able to know on where prices could possibly be going. You would really be always be having that kind
of question on where it would really be possibly be going on which this market is always been that unpredictable and there's no way that you could really be able to know on where prices would be going no matter
how experienced or old you are here on this market. This is why there are really people who would really be having that kind of impulsive reactions on the time that they would really be seeing some crashes. There
would really be people or investors who would really be cutting losses due to the fact that they are really that having the feeling of panic. It cant really be that denied that there are really moments that we do
feel up that way even how experienced you are. There are really times that fear and doubt would really be crawling into our skin and would really be that potentially be affecting our earlier plans and analysis.

if you do find yourself that being impulsive then it would really be just much better that you should refrain or limiting yourself on checking out prices every now and then because
this would really be triggering out that kind of emotion which would causing out on alterting your earlier plans.
678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Youth Gambling on: September 28, 2023, 07:22:03 PM
I think this thread was not necessary, to be honest.
We already have several threads on the topic and even one specifically used to discuss gambling addiction. But anyways...

I agree that availability of gambling nowadays can be a very strong point when comes to an increase of youth gambling, but there are other factors as well, which we are not supposed to ignore. For example, neglected children are more likely to engage in activities like gambling, alcohol consumption and drug abuse. So, instead blaming all this onto the easy and legitimate access to gambling, we are also supposed to take a look on problems regarding the strength of couples and child protection, in general.
Tons of similar discussion or topic on which i do agree that this one isnt necessary because it would really be that much wise if OP does have this kind of questions or concerns into his mind then making up some research with those old or previous topics in correlated to this and will really be reading up on tons of peoples response and views towards it.

Going back into the topic on which when it comes to gambling addiction then there would really be no exemptions whether you are young or old age there's always a tendency or chance that for you to become
that addicted and if you arent really that careful or having that good control towards self then you are really that highly susceptible on such possible addiction and this is something that dangerous
with gambling because this could really be bringing out that total devastation towards your finances or with your entire life.

This is why you should really be that responsible on whatever actions that you would be making specially with gambling. Its not really that bad to gamble if you do seek for leisure
but always having that good control in towards your spending so that you wont really be having some problems afterwards.
679  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: September 28, 2023, 06:23:24 PM
I really want know if getting more degrees can make life financially better because I come from a country where their are no job and I have seen people that the only thing they can do in life is to read books, getting more degrees attaining all these degrees yet no still go job for them with good pay. Do think people who read in a region with slim job opportunities are doing the right thing?


I think it depends on what country you're from, because in my country, there are more job opportunities if you have a degree. Here, even barista and service crews in fast food chains are required to have at least finished their high school or even college. Sometimes, what's even worse is other company imposes high standards and requires their employee to have a degree before hiring them. So, to answer that question, I would say that academic pursue is one of the factors that would help you to get incomes.

I think having more degrees provides you with more opportunities and land you with the perfect job. In fact, companies will even fight for you, so you won't have a hard time finding a job because it is the one that will come to you. Having degrees also enables you to have career growth, in which will help you to expand your expertise.

Seems like we live in the same country, where the requirements of a minimum paying jobs are too many than a high paying jobs. And there's also a case where new freshly graduates finding a jobs where almost of the hiring requirements are 1 or more years experience so how could they afford to have a job? You could observe that most of the graduates choose to have a job that are not even connected to their degree, not the reason cause they don't like the course itself, but the time that consumes by just finding a job so if you got accepted it's really a go signal.

Having a degree is really a beneficial in applying a high paying jobs, but remember that finding jobs is not that easy as it sounds especially in my country. Also some companies are looking for the background of the school as well, cause some private school works by the money so they could say you just paid for you to passed which is very insuslting.
Or simply job requirements or qualifications are really that not that something which those fresh graduates could really be able to apply with considering on whats those criteria then it would really be ending up on having

no job since they arent that qualified and this is where unemployment rate would really be increasing on a certain country. Having that a couple of courses or whatsoever in correlated with academic achievements or
something like that wont really be assuring that you would really be getting a job after that and with tons of competition then it isnt really that something that would be so simple that you could really be able to achieve it out. This is why dont make yourself that too confident or even focusing with that because having only a single degree would really be just that enough on securing a job which you do like and its not really that too
necessary for you to aim for more just to mind that you could be having more chances? Yes possibly but not all the time.

Having multiple streams of income doesnt really came from on having couple of jobs that you do have. What matter most is that you do have investment
and businesses despite on having a day job and as long you could really be able to handle it out then this what matter the most.
680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 27, 2023, 09:41:14 PM
I dislike gambling addiction, drinking and being irresponsible in how we gamble, there's a way that is expected of us to appear with being a modest gambler, not everyone could go wrong the same way others do, we need to realize that we have the capacity to control every gambling activities we engage doing and same also do people keep seeing the way we behave while gambling even when they appears unknown to us, there's an expectation on us to gamble responsibly and this will be to our own profit and other's will admires same with us.
This kind of attitude is just very annoying and we need to try as much as possible if we have that kind of mentality
 It is very wrong for us to be gaming and gambling without any plan. Emotional gambling is what is the major problem of many people and if we don't look for ways to stop it, we might have problems and never get any profits from gambling even though we do get, it wouldn't going to last long at all.

We need to ensure that we become a responsible gambler at all time. It is very ethical when we gamble without blaming anybody for our mistakes or loses. That would be very childish even though we get the idea or bet from people around us. We need to know the risk we are taking when gambling to avoid big loses.
You wont really be needing a plan if you are really just that aiming for that pure entertainment thing and dont really come after on making some income because this is where usually people do commit out mistakes
on the time that they would really be molding up that kind of intent towards gambling. Being greedy is one of the things i dont really like for a certain gambler although we do know that humans are naturally greedy
but we know that it could be controlled because if you cant then it would be ending up on a disaster. Doing gambling isnt bad as long you would really be on such moderation on which you do know on what your
limits and whats the line about on spending money on it because most gamblers do really missed out this one.

Behavior of recoverying the capital what they lose in gambling. Kind of Same as yours op. And i think there are so many gamblers who do the same thing. They think, next time they will recover everything by not repeating same mistake what was done before and this way they could beat the game which is wrong. And such thoughts drive them more into the dig and they lost more. It is necessary to have a healthy mindset and always accepted the fact before starting gambling that, you may loss the game whatever how sure that is.
Chasing up losses or trying out to break even with your gambling losses is something that makes the situation even more worst. Chasing losses or trying to breakeven does really
shows your desperate towards gambling and you arent that playing for fun anymore but you are already playing for money which is really that bad. Gambling should be fun but if you do
come into this point then it would be an another story. You wont really be completely stopping unless if you dont have already more money on your pocket for you to spend on.
