781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: August 08, 2023, 10:16:09 PM
Only need one tweet of Elon and the crowd on Twitter hails it like he is going to win their fight. Looks like everyone wants the fight to happen while he is just trolling. Obviously, the news already broke days ago that he needs surgery on his back going to his neck, there is no way he can win such a contact sport.

If a guy like Elon only knows a weird dance step he seems not in control of his limbs, he will not win. You can already tell what he can do in the cage.
I didn't know that and I thought that this fight is never going to happen. So, if he's got a surgery on his back then that's not going to allow him to have physical sport like this match against Zuck.

As much as I want to see this happen, it plays out like everyone is right about a promotion that's about to come. And that's when Meta announced Thread and then Twitter announced rebranding into 'X'.

You should dive down and read that thread and see what does OP implied to say about that topic. There are threads out there that are making the titles colorful to get more attention.

In the end, it's all about their thoughts about Bitcoin and what they wanna share to everyone about mostly with what they've experienced talking to people about it and what they feel.

It has to boil down somewhere to connect what the title is all about by reading its thread's content.
783  Economy / Economics / Re: New Research found Work from home workers to be less productive on: August 07, 2023, 01:43:46 PM
Quote
A study published by the American private nonprofit research organization the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the productivity of workers randomly assigned to work from home was 18% lower than that of those in the office.
https://africa.businessinsider.com/careers/new-research-finds-that-fully-remote-workers-are-less-productive-than-their-in-office/4vxn4sy
These researchers found that if you work from home you will be less efficient and productive than people who from their office. Can we say the same about freelance workers?  Do you think that if workers are given the chance to "own" a task like freelancers they'll be more productive because it is just like being self-employed where you treat it as your business and not with the mindset of another man's business?
I guess so for those that have been new to this transition, they're not feeling to be productive because they're not in an office setup. But with freelancers, I don't think that it should be the case.

This is what freelancers like, to work at home and avoid the hassle of traffic if there's any with commuting. The drive from the employees that are new to this setup are the ones that can't be productive that much.

But those that have been too tired with the office setup, this is a blessing to them and they'll work more productively than this stats says.

He may never return depending on the severity of his mental health. Wasn't Ben Simmons out for mental health for awhile? Hasn't been the same since.
That's much likely what's going to be anticipated on his situation. These mental health conditions are serious and yeah, with Simmons it has never been the same after wards.

And it is why if he's going to set for good and leave his career, then that's so be it. He knows what's his best for himself and he can also get back to the former if he's all good and stable.

But we don't know when and if it will ever happen.
785  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation overpowers the value of money on: August 07, 2023, 08:45:16 AM
I agree, there are online/digital banks that are offering better rates for an annual rate if you ever choose them to deposit your money. And the catch is that you're also free to withdraw it anytime at your own will.

Before, I was a fan of time deposits but I've learned it all along that it's good to get into it if the rate defeats the inflation rate that your country is experiencing. Otherwise, it's much better not to keep it there and find a better asset or investment that will earn more than the inflation rate so that you'll retain your wealth and its value.
All banks offer poor interest rates that can't compete with the increasing inflation, even at normal periods when it isn't spiking like it currently is. The only way to counter inflation is by investing in assets, such as stocks or bonds.
Definitely.

That is the reason why all of the banks are good as storage of money, for safe keeping. But as a place to get to as an investment, you'll get barely enough from them and can't even defeat inflation through their products.

The good thing with these struggles is we keep looking on better ways to manage these inflation rates and that's why some assets came out as good options such as Bitcoin, real estate, bonds and other instruments that we can choose.
786  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC will hit new high, as crypto bull billionaire predict on: August 07, 2023, 01:23:56 AM
Mike has been in the market for so long and made poor and inaccurate predictions. Now, this time I think that he's just giving it to the media so that people would hear him out again on what he thinks about Bitcoin.

It seem that he's shilling it again as we go closer to the halving. But it doesn't mean that Fink, Novogratz or anyone who's a rich person giving predictions that Bitcoin will go in a bull run is they are correct.

At some point, they're correct but it's all about the cycle.

Ricky Rubio announced his stepping out from professional activity to take care of his mental health. So, the World Cup is coming and he'll be out there for sure.

Does this means that it's possible that he's also going to be out of NBA and won't play for the Cavs when the regular season starts if he's not yet okay?


Nah, I don't think he'll give up his NBA career, it's a bit early for the 2019 FIBA MVP to give up this early. I mean that's his bread and butter right there and his passion as well. If he thought skipping the FIBA world cup could bring goodness to his career, pretty much everyone in the same shoe will do the same. It's also good for his mental health that the Spanish team respected his decision.
He should be more ready in the coming season so he won't lose but improve his value, otherwise he's going to disappear unnoticeably like the other role players in the NBA, since he's actually close to it after recovering from an injury he was struggling real hard when he have rejoined his team in the middle of the season.
Looks like that he's really going to give up the professional career that he's been with. Yes, it's his bread and butter but for how long he's been playing and working.

He's one of the youngest professional basketball player that I've seen. I even remember some of those moments when he's making the news for playing that young on FIBA.

He's got a lot of achievements already, if I'm him, I'll be fine with those and will take care of my mentality.

Any program that directs the youth to start their journey in crypto is a good start already. I don't know with other exchanges if they have the same program.

But as you can see, they're all welcoming the newbies with an open heart and promos that they can offer to attract them.

The important thing for them is they've got a starting point.

This is not an old news anymore that Tether can freeze funds. That's the power of centralized systems and those scammers will try to avoid usage of USDT because they know that if they'll get caught, the funds will be frozen and they'll have no control on it anymore.

On these matters, this is good but for decentralization then it's a different matter. I guess that's the consolation that one can get with that when he's phished and scammed.

FINANCE TIP:  Never keep your cash savings at a regular type bank accounts such as Chase/Wells Fargo/etc. Make sure you use online banks (or some credit unions) which offer much higher interest rates.  Bannkrate.com does a good job of showing who's currently got the best rates.  Just for example Chase banks and Bank of America (the worlds two largest banks)savings accounts have an annual interest rate of .01%.  Ally Bank has an annual interest rate of 4%.  One is keeping up with inflation and one isn't even close..ie you're losing money in it!  INSANITY

792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 04, 2023, 02:41:26 PM
Basically, you're just saying that there are just two way around when a gambler borrows money and that's true.

And it's normal to think on how much you're going to repay because you've taken a loan. That's pretty much the typical thing to think of because you're obliged to do it.

But at the end of it, you'll get to see how it will impact you as a gambler because it's not a good way to start anything related to gambling if you  will use borrowed money.

That's for sure. The fact that you borrow money to gamble already makes you irresponsible. Maybe some people consider taking the journey, and they would borrow money to raise a decent bankroll. However, the moment they lose the money, most of the borrowers will have bigger problems. It's impossible to repay the loan when there are no funds coming from gambling.

So if you promise a lender that you'll be able to pay because you will win in gambling, that's not realistic, as most of the time, we experience losses in gambling.

Just think of this: When a person borrows money for personal wants or needs, that's called bad debt. But when a person borrows money to start a business that will generate income, that's considered a good debt.
Raising a bankroll with a loaned money is a terrible idea. Coming from being irresponsible by borrowing money to gamble up to that point of using loaned money whether to add or to start with as you gamble.

It could also be a common reasoning for a gambler that he'll pay the debt because he's expecting that he's going to win. Possible but not really a good promise to say upon paying debt.

You shouldn't be relying on that matter for you to pay the loan that you've taken. It should be from a guaranteed source of income just as how the banks are sure of who they're approving. Thus, never do this, never borrow money to gamble.
793  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is politics everyone's business? on: August 03, 2023, 04:02:03 PM
Politics can be everyone's business when everyone is interested in politics but not everyone is suitable to become involved in political discourse if they are mentally unstable.
This is true. Many wants to become a politician because they think that money is all over it but not everyone fits to be one. And the sad truth is that there have been cases of politicians that don't have control to themselves. They're using their power inappropriately.

In general willfully stupid and stupid ignorant people should have the right to take an interest in politics but intelligent citizens should not have to tolerate their leadership if they ever are placed in power by either unelected groups or ignorant masses swayed by populist rantings.
Still, there's balance on it.

Despite that there could be supporters that are tolerating actions from their politicians inappropriately. It's a need to have wise and intelligent people to criticize the wrongdoings of these authorities.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 03, 2023, 01:10:42 PM
what's the actual feeling when you are using a loan money on gambling knowing that there's an interest rate on your borrowed money which means you already lose part of your money before you start gambling.
IMHO, it feels like that you need to grind and should think that you shouldn't run out of luck because you need to pay for it. Because if you lose it all then you know what obligation you'll have to pay.

And on the otherhand, you're also optimistic because this is going to be like a free money if ever you win and hit the jackpot. The reality will make the situation not too complicated because we all know that who does that have to pay for both loan and interest.  Grin
While taking a loan to gamble, but have planned how much to repay and interest to be paid and must have full responsibility for repaying the loan.
But there are also gamblers borrow money to gamble but dont have good control and always borrow money regardless of whether they can afford to repay it back, while gamblers are gambling addicts and dont have a job that can be used as collateral

795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to DCA 1.000.000 $ into Bitcoin on: August 03, 2023, 11:07:02 AM
lets say someone wins a million dollar and wants to dca 50k weekly into bitcoin.
What is the smartest way to do so?
If cash is on hand ready and I'm about to plan certain amount like putting that million on Bitcoin. Yes, DCA is a good strategy but if I think that the price now is as low as it can be then I'd certainly do everything to buy that.

Whilst it's a good to lumpsum it, the problem mostly with exchange is that when you're a buyer and you get that much transactions. That's where you will trigger them and could ask for more docs compliance.

I know nothing and would send 50k to binance each week and set a limit order every monday. Is there a better way?

Thx Smiley
That's pretty much it. If you think that Binance is the good exchange that buy with that money, one thing that you'll need to accept is the possible more IDs that they'll require you.
796  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for August on: August 02, 2023, 06:22:51 PM
While it's nice to check out monthly progress for Bitcoin. Usually with these sentiments, it's just getting harder based on the news that circulates around. We get some good and decent bad ones.

While the entirety until the bull run comes, I'm all bullish on it. But for this month, it seems that we're going to be sluggish as what the majority in the market seems sluggish as well including Bitcoin.

Anyone expecting BTC to drop to $24k again might either miss the coming bull runs or enter at a very high price.
Well, they can always buy in the middle range during the bull run.

That is why never click a random link from a stranger. You'll never know what's inside of it and you have to be always vigilant if it comes to these matters.

Whether it's work related or not, always check first what's inside on it using some feature from anti-virus and have it checked by them. Or if you've got other methods of checking it, always do.

Verify and don't be hasty if it's a link from the guy that you've just met.
799  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Which CEX did you use and what are your reasons for adopting the exchange? on: August 01, 2023, 10:09:49 PM
What are the things you consider personally before achieving adopting an exchange, there are lots of reasons like the features, non-KYC mandatory, easy user interface, proof of reserve fund, user asset protection and the likes what are your own reasons amidst all and which exchange did you use.
Mostly, it's very possible to find a CEX that will require no KYC. But things have changed now, Binance and Kucoin that have been the exchanges that don't implement KYC before have already asked for it.

That's why for the exchange that you want to find without asking for a KYC, it's mostly going to be a DEX. And if you do are going to comply with KYC, make sure that you like that exchange and aware of its things.

To me I always try to use different exchange to have a good comparison of them all, there are lots of exchanges you can trade on.
While that's true but at some point, there's going to be sort period of time that you're not going to do that anymore and mostly relaxed and happy to use one.

I check the volume nearly everyday on Vulkania. It's been several months that the volume is around 30000 $.
I don't know what's that website or service you've just mentioned but looking at the cmc. BFG's volume is about $90k+ in the last 24 hours.

And all of these volumes are coming from dexes and not with cexes. Looking at its volume through coingecko, the data says that it's around $60k+ for the last 24 hours.

Not that much but that's how it goes and that's what you can see from everyone here talking about it.
