It is impossible to know if the wallet is lost because there are Bitcoins that even 10 years old and no movements will be transferred to another wallet because there are times that we thought we lost our seed phrase  but turns out we found it after 10 years and also having a website with list of lost wallet is not reliable because anytime soon those wallets can be transferred and we don't have basis that the wallet is already lost unless it was like 2009 but again it is just all about speculation unless that owner will say he lost it really.

Don't think in this year it will go higher than 100k. It will bring you some money but not gonna make you millioner

That is huge and I think this will take more years also being a millionaire is depends on the country you are in because 1 Bitcoin with the current price right now is already millionaire on us and it is pretty huge money and we can be called rich but those in first world country it is still not a millionaire, so still it depends what country you are in.
1583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: April 17, 2023, 07:05:54 AM
That is really part of when we take part in something, we just hope to win, but we don't expect that we will win because the chances are low. Also, I am checking it mostly when the results are out just to see if I won, but I am not fun of the lottery. I just sometimes feel like buying a ticket or trying to bet certain numbers as I feel lucky, but people I've known have been buying tickets and betting their numbers on a daily basis, and they are always excited when the results are out.
1584  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: April 17, 2023, 03:23:14 AM
To achieve financial freedom is certainly not an easy thing, especially since the cost of living continues to increase due to many factors such as inflation and unforeseen needs. To achieve financial freedom, what I do is spread money to many types of investments, including cryptocurrencies.
Simply put, when you don't have debt to cover living expenses, then you are among those who have achieved financial freedom. But in a broader sense, you may have to have lot of money to achieve financial freedom, I mean when you no longer have financial problems when you have to spend a lot of money.

Having passive income and having investments are things that will greatly support financial freedom. But the investment must be worth it with the risk, meaning you can expect returns within certain period of time. Gold, bitcoin, altcoin and several other investments may be considered, but still within the limits of your financial capabilities.
It better to stay away from debt as much as you could because it's easy to take loan but it's very difficult to payoff the loan.
I once took loan and I destroyed my health in paying off the loan


But the purpose behind taking the loan is important; if you really need money for an emergency, like hospitalization, you have no choice but to take out a loan because without it you'd be suffering, though if you just took a loan to buy an expensive phone or to fulfill your wants, that is really bad. I believe we are all struggling to repay our loans because we could have paid them off in cash instead of taking out loans. The problem now is that this is all we will do because our salary is not enough for us, and we can't even save money for emergencies due to our low salaries.
1585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do women engage in crypto trading on: April 17, 2023, 02:23:13 AM
OP do you belong to a country where women are treated as second-class humans? In a normal world where women and men have the same rights, this is not even a question. Men and women are both to be educated and both can establish their own careers according to their choice. That being said, it is normal for women to engage in crypto trading just like men. This is not even a big deal in a normal country. I saw a lot of women traders here in my country and even mentors there are women as well. Thru social media, I am following a lot of women traders, especially in our local stock market where I am invested as well.
Even in the first world countries we've got Women to be considered down to men. This is real and happening with the people. Women were not much interested into technology based investment and related trading practice. This is the reason why we weren't able to see much of traders into the cryptocurrency trading. If you go find the number of Women holding cryptocurrency, then we can see a good number of Women, because they prefer to stay risk free. Compared to the past, nowadays big number of Women were getting into bitcoin and cryptocurrency for multiple needs.

I thought it was treated equally, I mean it is not like before when women should only stay in the house and not do any work as men treated women that they were just in the house, not sure what place he is but for sure men and women are already treated equally, and women can still do what men can do, so mostly if we are talking of holding cryptocurrency, for sure there are a ton and also i do have a lot of online friends who hold crypto for profit.
1586  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I love Bitcoin on: April 17, 2023, 01:23:37 AM
Nowadays many people love and want to invest in bitcoin in terms of long term. Because most people witnessed this bull run several times that passed, they did not see the value of bitcoin decrease as time passed.

        The majority also saw that bitcoin can not only be used as a mode of payment online, but they also saw opportunities that it can provide to anyone who wants to earn money, and can also provide good savings in the future as well.
At first people hate it or stay hesitant to invest into bitcoine. Over days scenario used to change, because the real-time experience only can give the best understanding and gives an opportunity to know well about it. The real love on Bitcoin or any of the cryptocurrency happens when an user book profit and withdraw it for the first time.

For me the earning opportunity, the volatility, everything successful through technology, having control over our funds. Its usage ad a multipurpose tool makes me love it more.

At first bitcoin image was not the good because we know and most in media or news it is stated that it is used in black market and dark web which people think that Bitcoin was made for illegal transactions that is why they say to it illegal, but Bitcoin it self prove it wrong because of the price and the ATH that happened people now racing and wanting to own bitcoin as it can make them wealthy. People loved bitcoin because of its volatility since they can earn profit in short time
1587  Economy / Economics / Re: Is renting an inevitable waste of money? on: April 16, 2023, 02:17:23 PM
It's a very sad anyway, just as me well I couldn't inherited any house from parents (father) before he died and I have been living in a rented apartment for the past 10 years and luckily started getting my own personal house in a city close to my village. I know it's very hard to grow without one inheriting any thing from parents.
There's something you must learn, I am not against you having a girlfriend but it should be you have your feet dusted before keeping any relationship; just as I have done, I never have any relationship between age 18 to 25 year why because I know that is a challenging time for me to seat up and breakout from whatever that may holds me not getting to my destinations.
Keeping a woman around may either increase your income or decrease your income but in a way you noticed is not favorable to you then limit and a make change and raised some funds to develop yourself.

Living independently from our own income makes us proud, your struggle is now producing things that family members never thought of, don't blame your parents for not giving an inheritance, they have given the best for you, especially education.

And make it as a motivation to strive more and earn more money so that you and your parents would be out in poverty. I know coming from rich parents could brought to you easy life but you can't learn valuable lessons from it unlike building your own empire and inherited by your child which you will know tons of experience along the way. It is not easy but you can find the true meaning of life from that journey
1588  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter on: April 16, 2023, 12:35:47 PM
I don't know why there is so much hype about Twitter failing. From what I can see, Twitter looks as good as it was before the takeover. Elon reportedly fired close to 90% of the former employees, but as of now it looks as if the platform works without any issues. I haven't noticed any significant downtime or data breaches despite the layoffs. And this means that most of these employees were not being productive earlier and Twitter was overstaffed. One thing that may trouble Elon is the boycotting campaign from some of the advertisers. I am sure that he will get around it.
Musk is trying to keep twitter on the ear, it's a marketing component. The fact that there were many layoffs, perhaps this was a forced step so that he could rebuild it in his own way. Musk is a successful businessman, it will not be difficult for him to benefit from this direction. How many diverse businesses he manages to run and in each he manages to achieve success, not everyone will succeed.

Elon has a plan on twitter about X app, the everything app like we chat like we can pay, socialize, communicate, and ETC in one app. I haven't heard any developments on it for sure; they are still reading Twitter codes and studying it, but eventually that will happen for sure as that is a possible thing unless there are hindrances. Also, Elon stated that if they build the X app from scratch, it will take them more years, so to save time, he bought Twitter.
1589  Economy / Economics / Re: Without government job we can survive on: April 16, 2023, 11:21:05 AM
The government is very important to everyone because it can provide jobs to every person under its jurisdiction. They also implement laws that will give importance to every worker. Without government the country will not have jobs and their development will be weakened without it.

If we base only on title then you are right but his point mostly is about the jobs or business that the government ain't helping like the OP cant feel the government when he put up business which I think he want some sort of support financially or in promotion. I would be difficult if there are no government for sure it is chaotic. Also we just cant feel that they are providing jobs but they are by having investors from other countries which can generate jobs
1590  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: April 16, 2023, 07:05:11 AM
Just imagine if you invested first in bitcoin, how would you feed your family? So it's family only because investment is useless if both of you and your family are hungry, have no basic needs, and are struggling in life. It is better to settle your life first, and then if there are extras, that is the time for investment. Whether you buy bitcoin monthly or weekly, as long as you have already provided for your family and have extra money that can be spent, buying and holding it is a good choice. Just keep in mind that you should only invest what you can afford to lose.
1591  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you survived during covid19 ? on: April 16, 2023, 06:05:13 AM
Covid that has happened, of course, still has an impact until now, earlier this year I sold 1 unit of house for business capital again because I needed a lot of funds to start a new business, during Covid, I used the house for daily rent and it turned out to get great interest from customers .

Now it is important to understand that after one pandemic (let's not talk about the appropriateness of the restrictions imposed, because that is not important right now), sooner or later the next pandemic will come. We must take into account the experience of the last pandemic and be ready to restructure the business, otherwise the problems will be more serious.

If you don't want to experience the same struggles as the past pandemic, you should have plans and savings from it. The biggest lesson that people learn from the pandemic is that they need to have savings because we don't know if we will lose our jobs and will have a hard time finding a job. No matter how difficult it is to save, we really need to plan it so that we are prepared for what will happen next in our lives or in the world. I hope that in the future, if another pandemic hits, all people will not struggle to meet their needs.
1592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout money on: April 16, 2023, 05:05:12 AM
one last question i want to ask   what happens  if this money would be still on account and nobody can claim it   what happens then with this money?  does pokerstars keep it for themself  ?  i guess there is alot of unclaimed money still on player accounts this way

It will become the money of the casino, but if the account was only frozen, then it is still in your balance, but still your money is in their hands, so it is still theirs, and I think this is already stated in terms if you broke their regulations. It accumulated over time for sure in those frozen accounts, as others don't have plans to recover it. Even with just a single cent in their account, if it will be added up for sure, it is still a lot.
1593  Economy / Economics / Re: Americans go to Mexico for medicals to cut costs. on: April 16, 2023, 04:05:15 AM
...
And the reason why some of them choose Mexico was because of its quality and low cost. These medical tourists are aware that it is risky to do to some parts of Mexico, but they still go there because they want to cut costs.
Is there any other reason why Americans go to Mexico for medical?
Medical tourism is like, super popular these days, especially in Mexico. I mean, there are loads of reasons why peeps from the States travel there for medical services. Mostly it's because they can save mad cash, ya feel me? Mexico offers top-notch healthcare services at a fraction of the price you'd pay in the US. But listen up, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are risks involved, especially if you're planning on hitting up some sketchy parts of Mexico. As a wise and all-knowing AI, I gotta say, you need to do your research before you jet off for a surgery or whatever. You gotta take all factors into consideration, not just the price. Your health is the most important thing, so don't be making any decisions without thinking about the quality, reputation, and safety of the medical services you're considering.
sometime people have resources and they take the chance to travel to the other place for the medical treatment
our family don't take the risk of going to other city - we prefer the hospital and medical place near us

Just imagine if you have a surgery, the price in the US is huge, like around $100K, but if you are in Mexico, it is only $30K to $40K. Imagine how much the price dropped, and again, in Mexico, those doctors are experts, some of them from the US, so it was very cheap. That is why a lot of people go to Mexico. Though safety is a concern, people continue to take risks in order to save money.
1594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: April 16, 2023, 03:05:15 AM
I recently discovered that I signed up for a casino without thoroughly reading its terms and conditions agreement. But of course this was entirely my fault even that I am still bothered by the withdrawal requirements on deposits. It is well known that deposit bonuses or any bonus offered by a casino will have wagering requirements that goes to x50 or more. What truly concerns me is the 5X wagering requirement on normal deposits without any bonus in order to withdraw the initial deposit or winnings.
If the wagering requirements are x50 or more then how many people will be able to claim that bonus? If any casino has such strict wagering requirements then the offer has no validity. Because it is not possible to qualify most of the time. The number of gambling platforms has increased in recent times and they are competing to offer better opportunities to gamblers than ever before. Before joining any casino platform after seeing any promotional offer, read its terms and conditions carefully otherwise will be cheated.

Each casino has its own rules and if we enter the casino, always read the casino rules and if you see that the casino has strict requirements, it's quite easy. Don't make a deposit, rather than just wasting your time just fulfilling the bonus requirements.
50x is a very difficult requirement for me and this is the reason I don't really like betting using bonuses that it bothers me that I have to reach the required limit.

Those people who joined the bonuses are just tempted by the bonus they will get, which is why no matter how many times they read the terms, they still continue to do it, hoping that they can't easily achieve it. Most bonuses right now have a really twist, unlike before, when it was just a simple sign up, deposit, and gamble three times, then you were good to withdraw. Right now, it is very difficult or impossible to get your bonuses, as you need to play them back to the casino and again, you'll lose.
1595  Economy / Economics / Re: Money hardly come this days! Why? on: April 16, 2023, 02:05:15 AM
Make commitment to yourself in your finances and work towards the achievement of financial freedom, if we are people that think we can go smart enough in achieving a milestone by combining one or two source of finances together then it's fine, because money is never too much, let us take good care of ourselves so that we can think right and apply wisdom in our financial economy that it would always yield good return.

To succeed in your chosen business, you must first correctly determine the direction of your business. Every day it becomes more and more difficult to find your niche, as the competition is constantly growing due to progress and a higher level of knowledge that can be obtained. The development of cryptocurrencies further narrows the possibilities for starting a successful business (maybe soon people will have to try to colonize other planets)

That is really the problem now days because people want to have a business but when they think of their niche, let's say a restaurant in their area, there are a lot of them and some will quit and find another niche, but others will continue to build it because they know they have good food and their ingredients are not the same as other restaurants, which makes them unique. I also believe that if you try it, you will know that it will work, and if it does not, you will lose your money.
1596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How not having money helped my Bitcoin journey on: April 16, 2023, 01:05:02 AM
I would have made a lot of money by now if I had been investing since then as long as I have known about Bitcoin. But the sad thing is that at that time I didn't have any money to invest in bitcoins. I spent time studying when the price of Bitcoin was off the charts. And spent all the money I got from my family at that time towards my studies. But if I had started investing with a small amount then surely my life would have changed a lot by now. However, now is a good time to invest in Bitcoin, so take advantage of the opportunity.

All of us regret it, but we haven't noticed it. Everyone of us, if they knew that bitcoin would hit the current price for sure way back in 2010, would have already bought bitcoin and held it for more than 10 years, then they would have gotten rich. I was also studying at that time, but if ever I do have internet that time like how I used the internet today, I'm sure I'll stumble on bitcoin, but the problem is that the old me will be buying it as I really didn't have money that time.
1597  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: April 14, 2023, 03:59:25 PM
The first rule to follow would be to only gamble in really big and well known casinos, with a huge user base and little complaints from them about withdrawing issues.

I would replace the "big and well known" with "trusted with good track record". There are some smaller sites out there with honest owners, who have been around for a while and have a clean record. And on the contrary, we've seen many cases when big brands were accused of shady practices. And the bigger you get, the less you can care about single, individual customers.

You have a point because it doesn't mean that if the casino is huge and well-known, it is already trusted, as there are casinos that are still scamming people, which we didn't notice, and also there are small time casinos that are not well known but are more trusted based on the comments of the gamblers. We should always select the trusted one; it does not matter how big or small the casino is or how well known it is, as long as it is trusted, we are safe.
1598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can this be effective against the increasing numbers of gamblers? on: April 14, 2023, 01:40:10 PM
There are rumours that it is only in front, meaning they can still put it in the back, so there are still promotions, but it is not that visible to the camera when closed up. But whatever it is, there are still a lot of leagues or sports that they can advertise. Also, gambling is really known right now, online or offline. Even without advertising it in sports, only in social media or through promoters, people will hear about it and gamble if they want to.
1599  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: April 14, 2023, 10:15:23 AM
Bank is always on the upper side. They will allow the loan if they see that there's a good way of paying them. I mean, they will check your capabilities before they will allow the loan.

There's a process where you needed to provide all the details and you need to submit backup documents to assure
the bank that you are capable of and you have the asset to return the money or pay your loan, whatever the circumstances.
Submitting a bank loan proposal is very easy if you have collateral that can meet the loan requirements, the bank will accumulate the value of the collateral and the bank will determine the maximum loan limit that the bank will offer to customers, I have checked the bank's interest payments are very high and do not recommend that you apply for a loan bank, if you apply for a low loan it is better to save than paying off the loan every month, if the need is urgent then there are loan options to friends but you have to pay off the loan on time.
Would like to tell that bank interest isnt really that much high if you do compared it into those lending firms and financing companies out there.Nothing beats out bank when it comes to less interest.
It is really just that it is really that hard for you to get up some loan due to strict requirements and lots of paperworks which should need to be done which is something that most people doesnt
like and ending up on going into other options.This is why they do make themselves get buried with high interest rates just because they've been declined whenever they do
apply out for some loan in the banks but as much as possible its better not to take up some loan or borrow at all.

Yeah right, taking a loan with the bank is far lesser compared to other platforms/services. If you can submit verified supporting documents, then you are good to go.

Bank just need to verify your documents and if they find it good, then you'll get the amount that you
are loaning, but like what you said, better not to take it if you have other options / alternatives.

That is, if you are forced to borrow money or have a loan, it is better to go to a bank or any other cooperative that has low interest because you can pay it easily or the interest you'll be paying is just low, but again, sometimes it takes time to be approved. Other people will still borrow from others so they can get it immediately even though the interest is high. There are really times that we need money for emergencies. That is why we take a loan, which is good. That is why we should just take a loan for emergencies and not for wants.

I know your conscience is after you, but first of all, it is his choice and he is already aware of it, so stop blaming yourself, but because we are good people, it is best to help him, like try to invite them or him back to your town again, but rather than gambling, do something else for a week, yes, a week, because by that time he can forget about gambling, and you should talk about the risk or scary stories about gambling addicts so that he would be awake, but if he is really uncontrollable, it is better to ask for help from experts.
