It happened to me too. Not just once but a lot of times. Some of them borrowed money but never paid me back even a little portion of it. It's disappointing, the amount could be small or not but I felt like I am losing trust every time someone did it to me. It is not that I am rich because I am just living a simple life but I felt like I want to live far away from relatives and if possible without contacts, especially on social media. I understand that as relatives, we got to help each other but for me borrowing money is borrowing and it needs to be paid otherwise they should've just asked for some assistance and not borrowed money because if unpaid, it's already lying or a scam.

So around 13 more games left before the regular season ends. These might be the best days to bet during the regular season on the games that involve from rank 4 to 13 in the west. Injuries are a sucker, Phoenix Suns is on a 3 game losing streak now and it is not that far from them falling below the top 8 as many teams are battling for a playoff spot. At Laker land, Lebron James can return but it may be too late if his team cannot hold its position. Personally, I would love to see Damian Lillard and the Utah Jazz inside the top 10.

So looking at boxing's top librarian Boxrec, Mayweather Promotions is part of this event along with GBP (Ryan Garcia's promoter). TGB is probably the lead promoter here since Brown is always in the middle during pictorials and is usually the promoter tabbed by most PBC events.

Tank probably remained a promotional-free agent like Canelo and is free to fight under any promotions. PBC is the real promoter anyways so if Tank has a managerial contract and wants to continue working with Al then he doesn't really need a promotional contract that will take a portion of his events profits.

Boxing is full of casuals who can't even name some of its world champions. So it is not surprising to see a lot of them continue to praise and defend Tyson Fury and his antics.

And with regards to the possibility of Fury submitting another contract with a rematch clause should he lose the fight, the conditions of the split in the rematch will be written there too. So it's not like Usyk can also demand an 80% split if he gives Fury a rematch. So Fury can say 70% in this fight and maybe 65% in the rematch, Usyk can take it or not fight at all. I missed how boxing in the past where the best fights the best without any complications and heavy demands on each sides.

That would be crazy if we are expecting BNB to drop $24 to $50 each. It probably means Binance and BSC are in huge trouble and there might be no coming back. That is a 90% drop in value and it might mean that Binance and BSC are dying. FTX dropped hard and it went dead. LUNA was recreated and its founder is still hiding from Interpol and I doubt it will restore its previous market capitalization. USDC dropped but only a small portion like 10% and it is now back to its usual price since fundamentally the company is not dependent on the bankruptcy of SVB whose stake is only a small portion of the overall funds.

AIs can only provide what is available to them. They cannot change the odds nor capable of rigging certain games and odds. Maybe AI in the future can assess whether odds are fair, overstated, or understated so we can avoid and take advantage of the odds that are worth it. But again, the birth of AI also means that casinos and gambling platforms will use them to avoid leverage from each other and possible exploitations on some of its markets. So I don't think AI is able to exploit much on casino games and sports betting markets.

I disagree that bitcoin adoption in El Salvador failed. It's been legalized only for more than a year. And it's not like fiat money in El Salvador is discontinued and bitcoin is the replacement. Fiat money is still there in El Salvador so bitcoin is legalized but more like an option. It is still growing and we are in a bear market so what do we expect for a currency that is so volatile? Give it time bro before calling the bitcoin adoption in El Salvador a failure. Its economy is not doing well in the first place so that also means doubts when it comes to global investments. But generally, El Salvador did a good job of accepting bitcoin as a legal tender and soon it will reap its benefits. The country just needs to stabilize its economy a bit and upgrade its transportation, security, and internet speed in order for investors and even ordinary people to start investing and traveling to El Salvador.

I cannot really say that gambling is for the strong because it is a sort of entertainment and if we are to follow the rules of a responsible gambler, then everything should be alright. I assume OP's friend is gambling an amount that is not within its limits. Otherwise, you won't make any regrets. You won't regret anything that is done within limits. There were also times that I spend over my limits and it is not good. It was a bad experience but I rather not overthink things that already happened. There are too many things to think about and analyze that can bring us a positive outlook. So we rather move on, learn from our mistakes and change into better persons rather than continue to risk amounts that are beyond our limits for the sake of getting back our previous losses.     

Although I understand that there are too many places in this world that sadly have limited opportunities to offer to their population. The mentality is also very important but it is not that easy to change the mindsets of these people that have zero to limited education.

Even with your example, I do not agree. Loans are not donations and they are supposed to be paid. If these poor people are able to live without quality and solid roofs then making a loan to buy roofs isn't right. I prefer to roll the loan proceeds into a small business or something that will generate income and benefit them in the long term. The profit will be able to buy roofs, pay the bank, and at the same time it will provide regular income. 

Cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin are growing at a fast pace. But the growth usually occurs in modern countries with fast internet. In poor places, especially in remote areas with very low to zero internet connection, many of them have no idea about bitcoin. It is also normal that the young generations are the ones open to new technologies. Of course, some old people can adopt innovations, especially well-educated ones. And most of the time the standards do not depend on the remote places or the poor majority as they are always late when it comes to innovations.   

I think you made a wrong interpretation of the tweet. Bitcoin can be some type of revolutionary bank that is unique these days. But do not get confused about the difference between a bank and a bitcoin. Bitcoin is a currency, it is not a corporation that is centralized. The best way to compare bitcoin is to fiat. Sooner or later if countries will allow bitcoin to become a legal tender then all the questions you raised OP are possible. Banks and businesses in the future will accept and use bitcoin for their mortgages, house rent, bills, medical bills, and many more.

It seems that the trend nowadays is on exchanges, coins, and stablecoins. Last year we had LUNA and its stable coin and then followed by FTX and its own coin. This year we should be more careful in investing a big portion of our portfolio in these types of coins. BNB is still part of my 20sh list of coins that I want to accumulate but I will drop it lower than 10%, it could be 5% of my portfolio. The focus should be more on bitcoin which remained intact over the years. 50% or more of my portfolio will be on bitcoin.

It never came into my mind about being late. It is what it is. Rather than spending time thinking about what happened in the past and the missed opportunities, it is best to just use our brain cells on what the future may come. There's always an opportunity everywhere for us to take advantage of. Hearing about successful stories, I am happy for them and it inspires me to work harder in order to reach their level.

Talking about the past, I am one of those that have an opportunity to become a dollar millionaire last halving but my emotions started to play against me and I also made a financial commitment that was too big for me to handle. And so I made the hard sacrifice of selling my bitcoins ranging from $3k to $4k. It was sad that I sold them at the lowest prices before the 2021 halving. But that was it, I learned the hard way. All I can say is that experience is really different no matter how much knowledge you earned from the past. Emotions are always not based on knowledge but on how big the portfolio is.

Yeah, fighters that have ample training time will usually train hard and then slow down in the later stages of the camp focusing more on the weight. David is a huge guy at 168 so he is the one that might spend time more on draining and maintaining weight.

Caleb Plant is still 30 so if there's something to improve, it is more about his technical skills which are already good enough. Caleb needs it as it will be very difficult to brawl and fight David in a physical way. I believe David will enter the ring as the bigger and stronger guy. The only problem with Caleb is if he can withstand some of the heavy punches that will land on him and the physicality of David. Caleb may fall just like in the Canelo fight where he was doing well but was finally caught in the late rounds. Caleb needs to be 100% conditioned here in order to move well and be prepared to do it for a 12-round fight.

We have the same outlook on bitcoin, it will rise further in the near future. You have a good start OP, at least you were able to increase your holdings when it went down to $19k. I am also doing a dollar-cost-averaging because I am also unsure of what bitcoin prices will do this year, it may go up but there is also a chance for it to drop down again. I am just confident that in the year of its halving, bitcoin will pump just like all of its previous halvings and I will not miss this opportunity of a lifetime.  

As expected, some teams will change in order to catch up. Team Secret just like last season is in a bumpy road and there are too many rivals in the region. March brought Execration into a major but they disappoint in the actual major. Maybe the lack of international experience of the team had mental effects. I am still doubtful on Nigma but we will see, maybe they will do good with March and the new patch. I don't know why Geek Slate brought a coach coming from a team that is underperforming lately.

I'm quite surprised by the question. OP, do you just spend money without limits? I just thought that it is normal for us to have a specific weekly or monthly budget allocated for our regular expenses like food, house bills, and maybe tuition fees for your kids if you have them. I have a monthly budget that is not that tight but not that big because I valued regular savings as a very very important part of my regular income. Especially now that bitcoin and crypto, in general, will be heading into a bull run sometime next year. I have my goals and I am hoping for another life-changing gain in the next crypto bull run.

Well done, mate. It is really crazy how these misinformed people are directly using bitcoin during scams. This is one of the reasons why I don't talk too much about crypto to my friends and relatives. Some of them thought bitcoin is an investment platform that provides regular returns. I don't want to waste my time arguing with them. I even heard some people talking about how unsecured bitcoin investments are after the closure of FTX. Well, then I cannot wait for the next bull run and ignore them when some of them start talking to me again about bitcoin.

Today's latest update on the injury of Kevin Durant. It says that he will be out for 2 to 3 weeks since he needs to get into the rehabilitation process. A re-evaluation of his injury will be updated after 2 weeks. So here we go, Durant seems possible to play in the closing games of the regular season and worst case scenario, he can still play in the playoffs. The current active roster of the Suns is still good although we cannot deny how competitive the western conference is now. Even Utah Jazz and Portland are capable of entering the playoffs so if a string of bad performances by the Suns can eliminate or send them into a play-in.
