I think the world will be a better place without notice or segregation between the rich and the poor if Bitcoin is embraced fully since Bitcoin is not a currency of a particular country everyone has the equal right and power to either store it or use it.
I know what you mean and want from a world financial point of view. But all of that is not enough because when we look back at the conditions in one country, the reality is that we are nobody, have nothing to control, and have no strong legal force. I think it is difficult to break the capitalist system with scripts and without full support. We are silenced because we have nothing but to survive for ourselves and our families. Talking about growth or economic power will be quite broad in nature. Bitcoin can't even do more than now because the government with 1000 ways of providing a centralized exchange and tightening KYC then making it easier for them to control anyone who has big finances in it can be seen clearly.

I don't agree with you, even when Haaland have  not been signed into Manchester City the club have been doing well.  So don't make it looks as if Haaland is the reason why Manchester City won the Champions League . No doubt Haaland is  a talented player and Is coming to Manchester City strengthen the squad more , Manchester City players worked as a team to win the Champions League and the Premier league. These Victories was not as a result of one player , they all contributed for this  victories. If Haaland is no more in Manchester City the team will still do well like when Haaland have not been signed in.


I agree with you about that. This isn't only Haaland's success. Manchester City maintained the strong team play and Haaland just made an extra contribution to the scoring ability of the team. I don't mean to underestimate his performance this season of course. He was really impressive in the Champions League as well mostly. 12 goals in 11 matches is just incredible effort. However we couldn't see his positive affect in the most critical stages of the Champions League.

He couldn't score a single goal in the semi finals and finale. But thanks to the great team play Manchester City still won the title finally.

Everyone contributes well and no one is superior to the other. After all, the goals that Haaland collected could not be separated from the beautiful passes from players such as De Bruyne, Gundogan, Mahrez, Grealish, Foden, and many more. And the most important thing is that Man City is led by a competent coach like Pep Guardiola. It doesn't matter how ideal the Man City players are when the coach isn't Pep Guardiola, I'm sure they won't get to this point in winning a treble winner. Everyone stays on the brain key behind the strategy on the sidelines and by having the right players it will go well. All complement each other and it's perfection on the field for Man City this year.

Hazard has accumulated a big amount of wealth during his time at Real Madrid. It would be unwise and disadvantageous for him not to seize the opportunity to play alongside Messi especially with his performance at Real Madrid, it is unlikely that any reputable club would settle for him, especially considering the leverage risk posed by his re-occoring injury. Starting afresh in Inter Miami is not a bad move, provided the terms of his contract are reasonable. In my opinion, it could benefit his career as playing alongside Messi would garner media attention. If he performs well, he could potentially secure a lucrative return to the Premier League, reminiscent of his successful days at Chelsea.
What is clear for Hazard is that there is no other choice but an offer from Miami because his potential in Europe is no longer needed by other clubs. By eating blind wages from Madrid, he should be aware of what Hazard has, showing bad results. The condition of the injury which is detrimental to the club is also the reason for him being sold rather than having to be maintained. Now if he is in Miami it is not certain that he will be able to play optimally and his activities will still be as normal as being on the bench and taking advantage of the club's salary.

Now my question is, is it good for my future that I have sold my altcoins and invested in bitcoins?
I remember there was a saying by Benjamin Graham: "Everything that doesn't go through a deep analysis process is a gamble". So here you have at least learned how Bitcoin works, what it will be worth in the future, and you have the right decision to invest in Bitcoin. Please note that this is not financial advice, this is just sharing experience. When we study Bitcoin and its whitepaper and explore the intent and purpose of why Bitcoin was created, then everyone can easily make a decision.

When it comes to altcoins, most of us speculate because investors in altcoins relying on the hype, Fomo, don't even have time to study the purpose of these altcoins. So if you are only speculating and don't understand deeply the purpose of altcoins, it's the same as you are gambling.

Ziyech is likely to stay even longer in chelsea. It's caused by it has been rumored if he has not passed medical test by al nassr while there are so many people have been talking this. Even ziyech has been also posting on his instagram regarding this.
There was also a rumor if ziyech was not moving to the al nassr caused by the club has decreased its salary before contract signed by him. The medical test news is likely a fake news.
Ziyech does not agree in joining with al nassr caused by he will receive less from what already promised by al nassr.
I was quite surprised that this happened to Ziyech, some said it was clear he had not passed the medical test because of his knee, while on the other hand, Al Nassr could not afford Ziyech high salary. So, in my opinion, judging from Ziyech performance at Chelsea was not very promising and suffered a bit of a setback. But about Al Nassr they are not unable to pay his wages, but the results of medical tests show that Ziyech will sit on the bench more than strengthening the team. So that Al Nassr is not willing to spend a blind salary just to pay dearly but the results at the club are not in accordance with the amount that will be issued by Al Nassr.

That is very complicated. There's no time for regulators to identify who the parents are. The easiest way for them to take action is to sue the site for allowing minors. Of course, no gambling sites would permit a minor to gamble. Even if they don't require KYC at first, once you sign up with the site, you agree that you are not underage. However, in some cases, individuals may easily lie.
Therefore, as parents, we have a duty to always control what children access. In the case of those who misuse personal data, things like using data from the internet, stealing and currently a lot of personal data are also being sold. It's hard to appreciate, apart from being the parents' job, who really have to be able to monitor the child's movements when they are identified as accessing gambling.

Well, we all know the saying that says ==> "The house always wins" ... and that is true for any bet size or balance that you are using to gamble.

I have tried betting small amounts and building it with every Jackpot that I hit and I have tried betting high amounts and gradually reducing the bet size, but no matter what strategy I use... my balance eventually turn to zero.  Roll Eyes
Agree, when the casino provides an opening for our bets and manages to make a profit, in the end the gambler's job is to get out of the casino and withdraw the winnings. Increasing the bet is quite tempting, but after achieving a 100% win, there is no solution other than cash out. Usually the gamblers that the OP described above are still having a hard time controlling their mentality, well, I mean mentally, when faced with an apparently bigger profit, in reality the balance will end at zero.

What we need to emphasize is knowing how to stop after a win and enjoy that win outside the casino.
1249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 04, 2023, 12:03:15 PM
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?
The legal action taken will usually apply to the child's parents because the underage age range is still under parental control. Now, regarding the minimum age for gambling, it really doesn't really guarantee that after reaching the age of 18+ years the child meets the requirements. Because gambling is not only related to age requirements, such as mental control, responsibility for what is at stake and age development according to psychology in general. Not a few children who are 20 years old still cannot have a sense of responsibility, their psychological growth rate is slow and this is not recommended at all for gambling.

The reason is that the impact resulting from gambling is more frightening than madness. Triggers unstable mental changes, and difficulty controlling emotions. In a country like the US maybe that applies but in some other countries I'm not sure that age is the general standard.

AC Milan is like downgrade their squad for letting their good players to leave. They already lost Ibrahimovic, Giroud will retire soon, they only have Hernandez, Leao, Tomori and Calabria, the other are just to complete the squad.

Losing some important players is a loss and it can't be denied. AC Milan condition could decline drastically in the next season, especially when the key players who have made a big contribution so far donate goals. Meanwhile, in Serie A, each club does not want to stagnate and will try to improve its performance. Leao needs a suitable partner but it's a shame whether AC Milan budget can recruit at least 1 or 2 players to remain a balance on the front lines.
The Saudi League is more like a show league. They don't seem like they aim to increase the quality of the league much more by starting to grow big names from their youth setup. The only thing they aim is to maintain this show by bringing mostly old stars to make supporters happy. They have oil money and they can easily make way better offers than a European team. This is all about the Saudi League.
For now, Arab players are not in great demand by leagues in Europe, because from the beginning the goal of Saudi Arabia was to increase the attractiveness of foreign players in terms of sponsorship business. Therefore they preferred to attract top European players to bring in more money. In addition, the most ideal strategy is investing in European clubs and little by little mastering it without you noticing it.

So far Real Madrid has spent €108 million to bring in 2 players Fran Garcia and Jude Bellingham, Madrid hasn't got a replacement for Karim Benzema which means that actually Madrid still needs additional players but they are still waiting for certainty related to Mbappe at least until the end of the transfer window, whereas Osimhen may be the last option and Mbappe is still the main target. To be honest, I'm not sure Real Madrid will go through a new season without new striker maybe it will be their worst season so we have to wait at the last second.
So, what's purpose of real madrid to take joselu from espanyol if people are still doubting about him to replace benzema? I meant ancelotti sees potential on him and he has been also placed at the top scorer board even though he was still under lewandowski and benzema but he is performing so well even with mediocre team. Osimhen is getting in touch with chelsea at this moment. Im feeling doubt if ancelotti is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the new striker.
Real Madrid still needed a few finishing touches in the transfer market but Perez ended Ancelotti hopes and decided not to spend any money. Whether this is a strategy or not, the fact is that Madrid attack line is still not quite certain to be ideal, the void filled by Joselu or Brahim is not very promising and forces Ancelotti to take care of this gap until next season. Plus his position managing the team also until next year, meaning there is no other choice but to accept Perez decision.

tell me anything i need to do to make a lot of money. doesn't matter what, i would do anything to get all the money, even if it mean unlawful and unethical!
It's not about the money, but about you not having self-confidence. You are too afraid of quantitative values but override how the process. Your mentality has not really formed to be responsible for yourself and even always feel the burden of other people is becoming more in control of your mind. If you are able to be confident in your abilities, and don't complain about what you have produced, the family will accept it as it is.

What you feel is just excessive fear, lack of self-confidence, always comparing life with the lives of higher people and the result is as if you are blaming yourself. Get rid of that habit, always think optimistically, and don't expect uncertain results. Do what you have to and produce what you can produce.
1253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 03, 2023, 10:53:40 AM
Snip~

No, I don't set time or day when I gamble, playing like roulette or slots is very difficult obviously when we do sports betting. For sports there are certain timezone that you need to follow just to be able to bet like on Tennis or Basketball or Boxing.

But for games like slot or roulette, I just play when I feel like to. Maybe when I got board then I just go to my phone and deposit and play.

As far as capital goes, no need to do excel spreadsheet, I never met a gambler in my life that tracks everything.

For not I prefer to play online, doesn't matter if I have music in the background or even talking to my wife when I play. But I do mute or lower the volume of my mobile phone when I play because of the obvious noise.
Talking about gambling patterns, or perhaps more precisely, my gambling routine can be said to be erratic, not having a specific pattern of either the time or the amount spent. I just made the bet as he wanted. And sometimes it can be an aggressive pattern like trying 3 to 4 times a day. It's quite annoying because the bets made end badly. So after that I took a long break and came back in pep mode.

Gambling weekends sure are packed and as far as I'm concerned the moment is always unfavorable, as the sheer volume of gamblers that play results in the lower RTP of a game. Then I like to play another time.

I think having a trio of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar was PSG's biggest chance to go for their first Champions League title finally. However they didn't show the same performance about their manager choice. I was really not waiting for them to sign a manager like Galtier who didn't have a successful career. This was a really big risk to take for PSG.

They took this risk and it resulted in really badly just as I expected. Galtier was even contented with that season just because of winning the Ligue 1 title. But this wasn't a big success for PSG as they were winning this title most of the time already due to its being easy for them.

Finally they have a much more successful manager like Luis Enrique now but the problem is that his game plan is quite different. I'm really curious about what they will do next season with this new system and without the same trio as well.

It's a shame that Luis Enrique arrival, who was appointed as PSG coach, is called too late, because if the trio were still there, maybe PSG's results could have been better in the Champions League last season. As we know, Luis Enrique is very suitable to lead PSG. Now, this will be quite interesting when Luis Enrique designed the PSG squad from the start, all he has to do is build the squad as ideal as possible. Huge financial support certainly makes his job easier, so buying some quality players is no doubt. When PSG was coached by Galtier there were still many things that were not perfect, for example Galtier was not able to design a suitable game strategy in combining the trio of Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar. I mean the three players still look awkward and still keep their distance from each other and there is often a little friction. No wonder because all three have their own reputations that must continue to stand out.

Fabrizio Romano has announced the Szoboszlai deal as done for Liverpool officially.

It is a 70 million euro deal for Liverpool. I think he is one of the really good talents who are worth paying this sum of money. He is only 22 years old and he can have long years at Liverpool as long as there is no problem with adaptation. But he has already played in a competitive league like the Bundesliga which must be some help.
It didn't seem difficult for Szoboszlai to adapt to Liverpool, after all, he was very optimistic that in the hands of Jurgen Klopp his abilities would really help. The position he currently plays is Midfielder in other words Liverpool can still put him in the same position. However, Klopp can experiment with providing other positions. As for the nominal 70 million euros, it is quite fantastic because Liverpool needs to demand Szoboszlai according to the same quality.

After David De Gea left Manchester United on a free agent status, now Manchester United will certainly try to bring in Andre Onana from Inter. Now the goalkeeper position at Manchester United is indeed vacant and there is no replacement for the main goalkeeper position in the Red Devils squad. We know that Andre Onana's performances over the past season have been impressive for Inter and he has often made important saves in his matches.

I think Erik ten Hag knows very well about the quality that Andre Onana has during his time at Inter and makes him one of the most suitable targets for a replacement for David De Gea. Until now there has been no official offer from Manchester United for Andre Onana, but if I may speculate about the transfer fee, it is likely that he is around 40 million euros to 60 million euros.

Andre Onana really didn't want to go to another club, he was very excited when he was brought to Man United. Even though currently United fans are grieving after the loss of their legendary keeper who has served for a very long time. For that, Andre Onana must be able to show his best and deserve to be called a replacement for De Gea. After all, the position of Man United goalkeeper is not easy to really get full trust. Erik Ten Hag had high hopes that Andre Onana was the character he wanted.

Everyone’s assumption now is that the Saudi Arabian league has now turned a hub of making plenty money by players. I don’t blame them or neither do I think that assumption is wrong. After all, everyone wants to live a comfortable and independent lifestyle after football, a life free of financial constraints. Players like Sergio Ramos will maybe join the Saudi Arabian side given the fact that his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo is also playing there, he can easily be convinced by him to join the league. Ramos is a very great defender for Spain and PSG, he’s undoubtedly one of the best sorted and well established defender in Europe. His addition to any of those clubs will be a boost for them and also for the Saudi league, I hope he makes the right choice of the team to join after his contract expires.
Believe it or not, the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo arrival to the Arab League opened up new avenues for the world of football. Even now the Arab League competition is being broadcast in 36 countries and in my own country when Al Nassr plays it seems to be a must-watch. Maybe you can see that this big impact is really happening. Then I remember when David Beckham's arrival to MLS also had the same big impact and paved the way for other players to come to MLS like Lampard, Rooney, Pirlo etc. After Ronaldo arrival at Al Nassr, now Saudi Arabian clubs are bringing in many other European players. Not only focusing on the salary offered, this will also be a point that the Saudi Arabian League is increasingly interested in.

I would like to state that the first very problem Chelsea had last season was having a big squad with too many players..
You are kind of right, they spent lots of money last season getting players, but its not all about having big squad but the players should be ready to work for the club. See the way Arsenal performed well last season and most of the players in the club are young player, but from their performance, you will see that those players are ready to play for the club. I think Chelsea needs young and talented players, its not all about getting big players, but getting players that are ready to play for the club.
Right from beginning i knew Chelsea's, problem is not from the coach but from the squad, Tuchel was a talented coach, and since they sacked him, things have being getting worst for Chelsea, but lets hope we see a positive result from Chelsea with their new coach.

What I'm noticing at the moment is that Chelsea has dumped some good players and kept bad ones. For example, Mudryk is being defended while Kante, Mason Mount, Silva, Kovacic, Havertz, and many more are all I think players who are still better than those currently being defended. I know the sale was to cover last season's losses due to Todd Boehly carelessness. It's already a risk, but learning from experience now I'm still not sure that Chelsea can finish in the top 4 next season.

And regarding your environment, do you prefer playing at an online casino while listening to music in the background, or do you prefer a quiet atmosphere? I may have missed other aspects, but these questions should suffice for now. I look forward to reading your thoughts and comments.
So far and until now what I have done is when I want to gamble, I do it, I mean not focused on a certain time of the day, night or morning, so I will play just to check whether the game being played is profitable enough or not. So sometimes in a week, I can be full every day, and maybe not at all, it all depends on my own mood. Because at this time the soccer betting hasn't started yet, so I play more slot games to fill my free time.

To be honest, I don't know what kind of gambler I am but I only play when I really feel like playing. only that
1259  Economy / Economics / Re: What will you do when you have Financial Freedom? on: June 30, 2023, 05:58:15 PM
-snip-
That is, you already have passive income that continues to flow into your account and into your wallet without the hassle of managing your business. because your business and all your companies are managed by someone you trust to manage it. So you just need to sit back or take a vacation every day while enjoying the flow of money that continues to enter your pocket.

The "financial freedom" that you define is only one and does not cover all, in fact they are not quite free in some ways because they are still trying to keep that source of passive income as stable as possible over time.

The definition is quite complex and varies based on a person's financial level. My personal opinion, financial freedom is not from the level of achievement, but how I enjoy that achievement. I mean, passive income cannot ensure that someone does not pursue higher financial levels as long as they feel they have sufficient capabilities. That is, there is no opportunity to enjoy the achievements that exist.

I agree with what you say, I don't understand why financial freedom is sought when everyone can determine their life path in their own way. It is difficult to measure the meaning of one's financial freedom, even with different levels of freedom that will not always provide a choice. For example, if you measure financial freedom by having passive income, I guarantee that the higher the income, the greater the expenditure. No one is really satisfied and no one really feels enough with what they have produced.
1260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 30, 2023, 04:25:41 PM
Arsenal must think about how to get a replacement player with the same quality of play. or the coach has to be careful to rotate players otherwise they will get tired and end up very easy to get injured.
Arsenal players at the end of the season actually lost their focus and several suffered injuries although not confirmed to be fatal injuries. but they felt a very big loss because they lost their momentum to get the trophy last season. and now they must prepare not to repeat it.
This time around is going to very difficult for them, to  achieve what they did last season, I would even call a lucky strike for them and their true strength surfaced at the end part of the season and they were not capable enough to cope with pressure in the league and lost the title after being until of the league so many months.
Seeing how Arsenal's season went and almost won a trophy, of course this is a strong benchmark for Arteta to be more confident that next season they still have this opportunity. It's just that Man City certainly doesn't stay silent, Pep Guardiola's consistency is difficult to break, so it demands that Arteta be able to get out of pressure at the end of a season which is always disastrous. Having a balanced tier 2 squad is the main thing to maintain game stability. It won't be easy for Arteta to do that, but with the remaining time they have, hopefully Asenal can put it to good use.
