1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you think about Casinos rewards? on: May 11, 2024, 08:59:22 PM
I'd say it depends on what kind of rewards are offered by the casinos. If it is limited to something like welcome bonus or deposit bonus where players need to deposit and it comes with so big wagering requirement, it is quite common rewards but less attractive. Nowadays most casinos prefer to offer VIP rewards and it can be found almost in all casinos.
I think that a welcome bonus is different from a deposit bonus. A deposit bonus says it all and that is, the person must deposit first in order for them to avail it but a welcome bonus rewards newly signed up players with a free credit or free spins. If the casino is generous, they won't require a wagering requirements for this and we can be able to withdraw no matter how big the money that we won. The reason why many casinos now offers VIP rewards is because they can earn better here, as we know that reaching a VIP status requires a huge wager and/or deposits.

Now the question for players is, which casino offer the best VIP rewards? The answer will be something subjective obviously because player may have different preference when it comes to VIP rewards.
For me, there are no casinos that are better when it comes to VIP rewards.

It's weird that FUD spreaders aren't celebrating with all these negative news, I guess there's not a lot of people out there that's taking them seriously nowadays that it's not worth their time to be a hater of bitcoin anymore. It's such a surprising thing too that they're actively moving against crypto again, really crazy that they're suddenly hostile with bitcoin and crypto again, I do hope though that this will only strengthen the community though. The arrest of Roger Ver is one of the biggest one in my opinion, $48m alleged fraud? Wow! Suddenly they're doing all of this now? They really must need Ver's wealth.
But, are they celebrating publicly even before? I didn't feel that. Maybe they are not only showing it publicly but deep inside them, they are very happy when their plans of destroying Bitcoin are happening successfully. As they say, 'once a hater will always be a hater' so they will remain as is, even if people won't take them seriously anymore and in fact their force will get stronger this time.

The reason on why they are active again is because we are in the bull run and this makes people go crazy towards it. I don't think they will act nicely without a return but you already said the reason for their appearance here. They need more money as much we can.
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Coins to buy - good selection? on: May 11, 2024, 05:58:22 PM
Not much idea about Render. I'd say absolutely no to Moonbeam and Near protocol. I've used Moonbeam in past and it's not an improvement to popular L2 in any sense. Just used it for higher staking rewards on USDT. Near is nearing death before even having real test on market. It's already outdated.
Solana is a good investment at least for near term. They are the leader in L1 and would be the driving force for next bull. Even in a pessimistic outlook, the coin is going to double in a year. Shiba, though not the best memecoin to invest, surely is a safer bet. That too could easily atleast double your investment next year.
But did Render said that they are an improvement to the popular Layer 2 solutions? Maybe not, and maybe the people's expectations about them are only high and maybe their true purpose is really like that (to give stakers a higher rewards). That's already better than nothing and besides, what matters to most of us here are only the profit and not really the technology behind a cryptocurrency, am i right or left?

Moving on to Near protocol, it looks like its name is fit for its situation now haha. About Solana and Shiba inu, I quite agree with that, so OP should replace GLMR with SOL. In this situation, we can say that 2 is better than 5.

One of my colleagues told me that his salary is lower now than it was five years ago. Sadly, the price of goods is rising.
that is why it's not good to depend on monthly salary if you are working and you are earning money monthly you have to diversify your source of income so that when economy of your country is rough you can survive through different ways because many people who depend on monthly salary do suffer when they country is not balanced myself I have different investment have that used to sustain me since I was born I've not done a government work before or based on monthly salary to take care of my needs and want.
I think it's not the fault of our salary or not having a multiple income stream but the problem is about the inflation and its rising rates. We don't want this to happen either because we know that it will only going to affect us negatively but it can be the result of greedy actions made by the people who are more higher than us. You know, the banks and governments for example. But since it is already there and it seems there is no stopping them anymore, the only thing that we can do is to follow your suggestion there. The last thing that you have said is only a bit exaggerated to me and it already sounded like you are boasting already. Sorry about that.
5  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Some topics to look for when starting trading on: May 10, 2024, 08:22:33 PM
It will be really difficult for a newbie to trade immediately on an exchange platform, whether it is CEX or DEX, when he has no understanding of trading.
It is always going to be difficult for someone to begin trading when they haven't done it before. The online trading especially crypto trading is much different than trading of goods. That's why someone should first learn trading by reading trading related books, watching trading related videos, and observing the market's ups and downs.

Once someone understands that how the trading thing works then he/she should begin trading with small amounts. I know some people suggest newbies to start trading with demo accounts but I don't prefer demo accounts as they aren't helpful to make profits as a trader. Many of the traders who mastered trading with demo accounts have lost money when they begin trading with actual money.
Even though trading of goods is still a kind of trading, I think yeah I can agree with you that crypto trading is still different. It is because they are currencies and the more they depend on price. That is why we have extensive charts and market analysis for them. Doesn't matter what type of trading we pick up, learning is always a must and the basic, before we start on the actual thing.

Demo accounts are fine for a newbie but it can be optional once you already gained enough experience. Crypto markets are very volatile. This might be the reason on why we can master the demo trade but when it comes to the real trade the results changes quickly or vice versa.

From the results of this week's matches we can see that Al Nassr's defense is very fragile, they were already 2 goals ahead and in the second half the score was equal after Al Akhdoud was able to equalize. In fact, if you look at the quality of the players, those 2 goals should not have happened to them in this match, which in the end made them have to work even harder to win the match. Luckily they were able to score them in the final minutes of the match so they were able to win this match.

Al Nassr must really improve their defense, otherwise they will always suffer the same fate every season. Their attack line is very good, but they cannot balance it with a solid defense line, so several times they have had to accept unsatisfactory results. They can take advantage of the upcoming transfer market to bring in players who are more trustworthy to guard their defensive area, because they cannot continue like this.
Their defense problem was highlighted in early half of the season, but sadly they fail to fix this which create problems for them throughout season, and now they are going end their season with second spot and concede most goals in top four teams even their attack is also most effective with having 93 goals in 31 matches is impressive from them, but now they need to work on their defense before next season started because this could be key for their success.

We have two teams are spotted for the AFC Champions League with Al Hilal and Al Nassr but for third spot we are having three teams in race with Al Ahli is favorite because Al Ittihad is lost their chances and can stay at the fourth spot which is surely not ideal end for the titleholder in last season.

RCB is having good score on cards but it's all thanks to PBKS dropping catches, they dropped 3 catches (weren't hard ones either), out of three two were of Kohli who is still on crease on way to make fifty while Patidar went on to make blazing fifty.
Today in this pressure game which playing between Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings we have all things favourable for the Bengaluru which use good these conditions after having batting first and done huge target which is surely going to help them for having good win in this game and having alive their dream for the top four because Punjab Kings are already out of the competition, and they are playing remaining all games for the formality, but Bengaluru are trying their best for achieving something which is not easy.

After having two drop catches we are having impressive batting from the Virat Kohli, and he is still leading the top scorer table which is amazing stuff from legendary batsman Punjab Kings are down-and-out now what could be their response it's going to be entertaining for the fans.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: May 08, 2024, 06:24:22 PM
I just don't understand why op would write about this kind of post for mentally unstable people. When someone is having a mental problem, it means they are not fit to do some certain things and we will have to be very careful how we expected someone that is having a mental imbalance to go gamble. Things might turn to something else we one could be surprised to see another altitude all together because the people would not be mentally fit to gamble. Such kind of person is meant to be isolated a place so that they could take their drugs and healthcare personnel can take good care of the person very well.
If someone is mentally unstable, will he be able to recognize what gambling is? I feel anyone who is of age and has decide to gamble should be given equal opportunity and attention. It is their money and they game they want to play is theirs, so denying them is similar to denying physically challenge people access to what should be accessible to all irrespective of their health condition. By the way, I do not see restriction for mentally unstable people in the TOS of casinos so there is no basis for not allowing them to gamble. 
Mentally unstable people can do anything but it does not mean that they are doing it the right way. They might damage the machine and they can do harm to the other gamblers inside the casino, so even if we like to treat them equally like any other normal customers, we are sorry that we can't for that reason but we are always glad to give them a special attention that they needed to.

Sometimes it's better if a mentally challenged person can be like this or they will roam outside because they can't get help if they will only stay indoors. Physically challenged people on the other hand are more allowed than them but it's only sad that some of them still can't play on their own if they wanted to. 
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please, I urge you to buy bitcoin! on: May 08, 2024, 05:31:53 PM
Is it even possible? I mean, can 8 billion people understand anything? Or agree on anything? I'm not sure about this. But if, by some miracle, that happens, the price of 1 BTC can be indeed over $1 million, as some optimists predicted years ago. Those who seemed crazy even by some members of this community will turn out to be right. To be honest, I personally can't wait for that to happen.
1 btc could be $1 million but that would be a long wait, doubt anyone would have the patience to hold until then. But for those who are patient enough to hold Bitcoin until then, it will definitely be good and profitable. I myself encourage everyone to invest in Bitcoin for the long term if anyone has the ability to invest for the long term.
No one can hold it forever, that is logically not possible because everyone will have to sell their holdings at some point, besides, what makes you think people will keep holding when they see the price has reached as high as $200k per Bitcoin? And that isn't even near $1m. So, it's not possible for people having or holding bitcoins right now to keep holding them until their price reaches $1m sometime in the distant future.

The market goes high, old people will sell, new people will buy from them, they hold until next time the market goes up, they sell again and new investors will buy from them, that is how the market works and that is now it grows. So, the holders will always keep changing, and even if they don't they will have to sell and buy again later on.
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can Bitcoin be a full time career for investors? on: May 08, 2024, 02:32:42 PM
Relying on Bitcoin investment as a full time career isn't a right decision to take except you wanna trade your coin to earn on a daily basis which comes with high risk of losing or cashing out.Bitcoin investment which offer high return wouldn't be nice to rely on, investing on Bitcoin can be carried out without tampering your holding as continuous cash flow of money is coming from other source of income.
I agree. There are two things, one is trading and the other is investments, and those who buy and hold certain cryptocurrencies are making investments and those who buy and sell them in the short term are trading. So, if a person says that they are earning a full-time income from their Bitcoin investments, I would say they might have been doing that but that isn't sustainable or reliable because you won't be able to keep earning from that source to keep running the kitchen on your household.

So those who wish to earn a living through cryptocurrencies will need to start trading which means they will be buying and selling cryptocurrencies in the short term to get a small percentage of profit on each trade, and this shouldn't be done with just Bitcoin but it is mostly more profitable when done in altcoins.
11  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lack of capital or knowledge, which one is holding traders back from profits? on: May 07, 2024, 08:11:10 PM
I would like to draw a line here for profits because $1 is profit while making $1000 also profit as well but which one you will call successful? Definitely the bigger amount right?

Capital gives you the head start that will be really helpful to make decent profits with low risky trading strategies and all it needs just basic  knowledge about trading on the other hands one who know every nook and corner not having capital like atleast $500 that will hold them from making money in trading.
It seems you forget that each of us has our own definition of success and also each of us has our own capacity. For a not-so-rich person, earning sufficient income in trading is already a big thing for them and this is better than losing. When we are starting, I think it's the knowledge is the one that we are concerned of because money is only around the corner. After we already know the basics, we can now slowly start trading. A $500 capital is too much just to start trading and if we don't have a money yet but as long as we have a knowledge or skill, we can always think of ways and use them to produce a capital. By here, I can say that capital is only secondary.

I don't know for sure why Manchester United could be this bad and even though the Red Devils were not strengthened due to the absence of several of their main players, this defeat cannot be used as a worthy excuse because their opponent was only Crystal Palace. Casemiro is also often seen making blunders which result in goals being scored by Crystal Palace players and is it possible that he is currently experiencing a decline in performance. Erik ten Hag's fate will definitely be questioned again after this crushing defeat and everyone will definitely be increasingly doubting that the Dutch coach will stay next season.
United's Twitter admin may be disappointed with his club's performance, yet again he is also feeling shameful with his club. LMAO. That's an extremely embarrassing result for a team that spent hundreds of millions of dollars on players to lose against Crystal Palace twice in a row after the FA Cup. Shit happens to the united once again. Olise's still on fire this time.
Palace is becoming even better. There's no doubt that Olise cooked the game against United. Some clubs may be seeing him as a potential striker.
Not only Manchester United twitter admin I have feeling everyone related to this club are feeling embarrassing after performance like this with things are already gone from bad to worse, and they are completely failed to give anything positive while their results as they have against Crystal Palace are showing their chances of having anything positive is almost ended in first half we have some resistance from the Manchester United but in second half we have all ended because things were not as mostly were expecting they all were having nothing to do even we all know how much Manchester United and Crystal Palace are spending on every transfer window but still having results like these are showing they are playing without any motivation or anything to achieve which is really embarrassing situation.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange Lending might be a way to reduce unnecessary Defi fee on: May 07, 2024, 02:34:43 PM
Crypto loan and DeFi doesn't makes sense at all as long as crypto is considered as assets since we pay taxes to the profits of cryptos and paying more in the name of centralized is just extra burden. I feel why not simply sell the crypto and get money you actually have instead of going through this process.
Crypto is a currency but it was only some people who thinks that it is also an asset. When it comes to crypto taxes, there are still some who are exempted to this. Introducing more services like these Crypto loan and DeFi in our space here is actually beneficial because there is no need for us to deal with fiats anymore and it's an added attraction to the cryptos helping them became more known.

The reason why a crypto user will use a crypto loan is because they are not planning to liquidate their cryptos yet because they believe that it will be more valuable in the future. The process for crypto loans is only quick and easy anyway. This is one of their advantages compared to the traditional loans outside.

Those of us who are new members and participants in various giveaway campaigns including Bounty Campaign, Air Drop Campaign should be careful in advance not to connect their wallets to these AirDrop Campaign websites. Many times such airdrop projects come in the market who conduct the airdrop campaign only to cheat. Those campaigns usually offer users a substantial amount of virtual money by completing simple tasks that require the user to connect their important wallet to their website to withdraw. All these new members did not understand the deception of the fraudsters and connected their wallets to the websites of those fraudsters, but it was seen that the user lost all the money deposited in his wallet in a moment. And until he disconnects the wallet from that website, access to the wallet remains with those fraudsters. 

So before getting greedy and connecting my wallet, I must think about which website I am connecting my wallet to and whether I am risking my money there.
Although this has been said and discussed hundreds of times in the past and the same section, I believe it's a topic worth being read by every newbie visiting this section of the forum because you are right that airdrop scams are a widely spreading means of scammers scamming newbies who are bounty hunting over the internet and such newbies are mostly vulnerable because they don't have much knowledge about these things and they might connect their wallets and accounts that have money to any website which promises huge returns to them.

X, formerly Twitter, is full of such scams. You can often see scammers having verified handles posting airdrops with suspicious links that might impersonate a project website but will have some difference that only an experienced person can identify and newbies wouldn't even notice and they might connect their wallets and give their credentials to these scammers just to get an airdrop which is not even real.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Food shortages coming to the United Kingdom, BUT - on: May 06, 2024, 08:28:52 PM
people are not wearing masks anymore these days. we have been lied to but we all believed it. i still have boxes of masks at home it has become a habit already to take one whenever we get out.

i can agree that this is really fabricated by the governments conspiring with each other and just like mentioned above. Klaus Schwab encouraging people to eat bugs is like the craziest ideas. i wonder iff he himself is eating bugs.
Maybe in your area only but on others and in ours here, I still can see people who wear it, especially if they are working in hospitals or are students in any schools. Wearing masks has become a norm ever since Covid came. It's great because people see the importance of it, either for protecting their health or to simply hide their faces if they are insecure about it.

Eating bugs on the other hand are not a crazy thing but I already saw lots of people who does that and maybe that person there already tried it before for them to also recommend it. It might actually come in handy and save our lives one day if we have nothing to eat anymore.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are your holdings ready for this altcoinseason? on: May 06, 2024, 10:40:35 AM
I'm feeling the pressure not to miss out on this bull run. I'm confident in my portfolio of solid coins, but I don't think they're quite cutting it. I want my investments to bring in serious wealth. I've heard about meme coins making people rich overnight, but I'm a bit wary of jumping into that arena. By the way, do you think older coins will see the biggest price surges compared to newer ones? What are your thoughts on this?
Cryptocurrencies are not a get-rich-quick scheme, so make sure that you know what you are doing. Expecting extremely high returns is unrealistic and that shouldn't be your goal when you make investments in cryptocurrencies because despite their prices being highly volatile, having the potential to sometimes generate huge returns to their investors, it shouldn't make you have very high expectations because that doesn't necessarily happen all the time and with every investor or asset.

Meme coins are nothing more than a gamble, you can make investments in them with the hope that you might get serious wealth through them but there is no guarantee for that, there is even no guarantee for any profit when you are making investments in meme coins.
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will the real bull run begin? on: May 06, 2024, 07:08:03 AM
some of my altcoins have seen over 3000% gain since middle of last year but I didn't cash it all out - I am waiting for the real bull run to come when that 3000% may turn into 6000% or even more.
If you took profit when some of your assets gained over 3000% in gains then you did the right thing, but if you didn't do that, you made a mistake. I'm not saying that you should have sold everything you have, but you should at least take profit so that you could get your initial investment back along with some profit, and then you could hold the remaining funds and wait for a better selling opportunity because we know the market has the potential for that.

When Bitcoin touched $73k, you should have taken some profit at that point. It could have been very beneficial for you because even though we are all expecting a bull run in a few months, there is no guarantee for that because Bitcoin has already created a new all-time high before the halving and that might be it, who knows?
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Future occurrencies that can increase bitcoin price. on: May 05, 2024, 07:48:59 PM
One of the biggest contributions to the Bitcoin price may be governments accepting Bitcoin legally. The lifting of these bans by countries where Bitcoin trade is prohibited may also have a positive impact on the Bitcoin price. In fact, we can list many similar reasons, but even if these do not happen, Bitcoin will continue on its way.

Bitcoin, which has a limited supply, has always increased its price in certain cycles and will continue to do so. There may be many reasons for the price increase, but the main reason is Bitcoin itself.
Not just ' may be ' but that is ' sure ' because how can one invest on it if it's not yet legal on their country? And we know that an asset can only have a value if there is a demand for it. The lifting of BTC bans are also a sure thing that can help the price of BTC to rise. There are still other factors that can affect the price of BTC and listing them may not be necessary anymore because there are plenty of them. Not all times BTC's value is rising and not all times there is a reason for that but it's only normal because of the cycle that you mentioned there. It may look like the BTC's progress were limited but it's also an opportunity for the user.

Manchester city use the match to prove that they are capable to win their remaining matches, because the goals Manchester city scored from this match to defeated wolves 5-1 make people to celebrate their manager for the journey so far, which is very clear that Manchester city will not miss first position and second position in this tournament. Haaland did not make any mistakes from the beginning of the match till the end of the match, and he was able to scored four goals to help Manchester city to frustrated the effort of wolves, which was a good plan from the Manchester city strikers. I know that Manchester city will defeat wolves in their home, because they know how to use home strategy to defeat their opponent which was the reason I predicted for the favour of Manchester city in that match.
Manchester City is now playing game without any pressure, and they are also having all available players into good touch which is giving them good results in last 5 games they are having 20 goals which are showing how strong they are in attack with Haaland is now in good touch and doing impressive job their defense is also doing good job as they concede only 4 goals but still we have to watch their next two games because now we are in crucial part of the season and any team can go through for the upset which can create good situation at the top their next three games against all London based clubs and their rival for the title is also Arsenal which is London based, so things are amazing with currently nothing is sure who is going to win title but due to bad results Liverpool is now out of the race for the title which is sad news for the fans and players as they are having just three games under outgoing Jürgen Klopp.
20  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Invest To Learning First on: May 04, 2024, 08:19:41 AM
Investing will never be risk free and finding 100% sure investments is pretty unlikely. But it does not mean that all investment opportunities are sketchy. Actually if you look and study carefully, you can find low risk investments that are established and very good for investments. Then as you learn more about how the market works, you can start learning about taking on high risk investments that might give you bigger rewards.

It's really important to figure out how much an asset is worth and look at its history before you invest in it. This can give you a good idea of what might happen in the future. Also, getting help from outside experts, like consultants, can be really useful. They can help you make smart decisions, save money, and understand how to invest better. If you're interested, I can suggest this place for outsourcing help: https://theremotegroup.com/
Well, that does make sense because you are right when you say that not all investments are sketchy but one needs to have enough knowledge about a market they are in so that they understand the risks involved in making investments in each asset available in that market. When it comes to the cryptocurrency market, we know there are assets with the lowest risk ratios such as Bitcoin, it is trusted, the oldest, and has less risk when compared to other cryptocurrencies because it tends to recover even if it loses value.

Altcoins in this market carry a lot of risks because there are good projects and bad projects, and it becomes necessary for a trader or an investor to do enough research before they make an investment to determine whether the project they are investing in is good or not.
