I would suggest anytime of the day bitcoin since it's already been tried and tested already, a lot of FUDs and negativity have been afflicted to bitcoin but it still has been going strong to this day. Maybe I would put ethereum in the second.
1502  Economy / Economics / Re: Is money the root of all evil as the poor to thinks? on: July 07, 2021, 08:51:24 AM
Money is essential, it makes the world go round. Perhaps it is the root of all evil but it depends on the one who is handling it. if it will be used for good or bad, if it will help others or not. Many say that if you have lots of money you'll have many friends. but once you do not have money, one by one they will leave and forget you. We must make use of our money do not let it to be the root of all evil. God gave us skills and talents to use it for good and do good for others. People must not be greedy.
What you are trying to say is that money isn't the root of all evil, it's the people who use it. We need money not because it makes the world go round, we need money because the people that wants to control the many made it look like that, plus humans naturally want to be rewarded for their deeds and we want to be rewarded in some way.
1503  Economy / Economics / Re: Will banking system in Bangladesh collapse? on: July 07, 2021, 08:01:24 AM
Not everyone can withdraw from banks within a day because that's how it will collapse, banks don't have money in them that's enough to accommodate everyone that will withdraw money in their branches, they are working base on fractional reserve banking. Plus they won't collapse that easy because they can just close the banks for the day if the number of withdrawal is going to be that big.
1504  Economy / Economics / Re: The trend of prices is still upward, any hope for downward? on: July 07, 2021, 07:12:56 AM
No I don't think that a downward in price commodities is going to happen anytime soon, remember that there's inflation and you have to understand that when there's inflation, the price of commodities are going to increase in parallel to it. And with the pandemic, this gets worse because most of the population doesn't have a job that can help in making the money circulate in the economy.
1505  Economy / Economics / Re: Jeff Bezos and many top amazon executives leave in mass exodus on: July 07, 2021, 06:45:17 AM
Tax system needs a massive overhaul and there is no doubt about it. MacKenzie Scott received $60 billion worth of AMZN shares from Jeff Bezos as a part of the divorce package and not a penny of it was taxed. This loophole, which allows the transfer of shares from one individual to other without any tax liability needs to be overhauled. When someone transfers his shares to a different individual using the stock exchange, he is taxed for that. So I don't understand why direct transfers doesn't come under taxation. One thing is sure. These loopholes are mostly being used by the super-rich.
Even if we wish to, we don't have the power to do so because these people in the upper class are making sure that those loopholes are open for them no matter how obvious that loophole is because they don't want to pay taxes and they will do any means necessary to get that loophole going, even if there's coercion and lobbying involved.
1506  Economy / Economics / Re: A message from my bank saying they will not allow me to purchase from Binance on: July 06, 2021, 11:14:08 AM
It is ok, they have anticipated that there will be a massive loss of revenue from the UK region.

Although it's Binance that's being favored and loved by most traders, you still have a lot of choices to trade if your bank won't allow you to use their service to go through Binance.
I disagree that it's going to be alright because that's still a loss no matter how you look at it, isn't UK region a big market for Binance to just let it go that fast and easy and also, are they planning to become legitimate in UK so they can finally get out of the ban?
1507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who to Trust, Fiat Banks or BTC? on: July 06, 2021, 09:25:59 AM
Bitcoin is susceptible to manipulation so I don't think that it's a good thing to entirely trust bitcoin, fiat banks on the other hand is susceptible to inflation meaning that your money could get devalued because they will lose purchasing power. Short answer is that you don't trust both because they have both have their own shortcomings.

Privacy and data protection have been a topic of debate in contemporary times where people now choose to currency such as BTC and the rest of other decentralized methods of payment for data protection. But the bank can easily release your data to a third party.
In terms of privacy and data protection, I don't think that we have to debate too much about it because our personal information have been sold a long time ago by our own government even if they don't say it.
1508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on climbing challenges on: July 06, 2021, 08:03:23 AM
With the existence of a gambling site that bets on this sport, I believe it will be a strong driving force for the world of rock climbing that will attract the interest of many people.
Probably it will but the first few days, months and years of this sport being available to sports betting sites will be problematic because it's a niche hobby that will probably have a hard time getting an audience or it could have a reverse effect like exploding in popularity which is the better of the two.

The trainer doesn't have card counting.
Too bad that it's not the case because I really want to learn and gain experience with card counting because I really think that it could be a cool party trick to have the ability to count cards and always win with your friends and them wondering how you are good with this.
1510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anybody ever used pnxbet? on: July 06, 2021, 06:53:10 AM
Isn't pnxbet related to a scam project recently being posted here in the scam accusation?

They were saying this is a casino made by the 1xbit. I'm not an expert in the investigation but this one had been posted in several scam threads. Be careful depositing big amounts.
Yes, they are related. And you should be careful because they might be a scam website too, I don't have experience with the site but my friend tried the site but I was in time to warn him about the possibility that it is a scam because it's part of 1xbit.
1511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Estrada vs Gonzalez Trilogy - Oct 16 on: July 06, 2021, 06:16:14 AM
It took so long for the second fight to happen but I am glad they are doing the trilogy right away without a tune up fight in between. The first two could have gone either way and I expect the third to be really close also. Estrada was the favorite last time around but I expect Gonzalez to be favored in the third fight. I hope someone can win decisively this time and not leave it up to the judges so there will not be any controversy surrounding the decision.
It's not that long though, I mean there's Pacquaio having a two year stint and now he is fighting Spence. Hopefully we can see some knockout here so it's a bit worth it to watch the third match.
1512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a gambler? on: July 06, 2021, 04:57:41 AM
I am the same as you OP, although I don't do sports bet a lot besides horse races so I don't have that much knowledge with odds. Maybe back in the day when I skip classes and play on illegal gambling houses poker and Chinese poker, I can say a 100% that I am a gambler.

On top of this it felt like EU became a mid tier region at best I know there's a lot of good teams in the region but they usually underperform when it comes to the international stage.

Cheering Elephant and Team Nigma to get the last two TI spots and looking forward to the other EU teams as well.
That's what I was feeling too, it's like something happened in the region that they don't have any big news in their side, on the other hand Chinese teams are pretty consistent with what they are doing. Speaking of Team Nigma, no good plays are highlighted that came from them that's been shared around the Internet.
1514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recognizing Gambling Disorders, Symptoms of Severe Gambling Addiction on: July 05, 2021, 12:16:49 PM

That is always is the case.
One might not admit they're a gambling addict and ignore the symptoms because they think they're doing it normally.
Most of these guys don't want to listen to advices, because again they think it's still normal. Suffering may not be felt during the process of addiction, it will be felt on the latter part of addiction. That's the same reason why they're the last to know that they're already suffering from mental illness.

No amount of advices can change someone, unless they want to help themselves.
Of course no one is going to admit, admittance to something that isn't good or moral is going to be difficult because society tells us that we shouldn't do this and that. Advice is useless to this people because what we really need to do is to do the action first and then have them slowly accept it themselves, they will come to terms with their addiction during the therapy.
1515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Esports Prediction & Discussion Thread on: July 05, 2021, 11:25:38 AM
On the NA region for Dota 2, the TI10 qualifier. I was rooting for a different team and not the winner but I acknowledge how strong the team of Undying based from their roster. No memes this TI10 I guess, there's no EE sama as his team Bumble bEE's didn't qualify.
There are two more regions to go, Western Europe Qualifier and China Qualifier. Two strong regions, the clash is for real on those regions.
Chinese teams will definitely dominate this next TI because I don't find OG that much making any headline meaning that the other teams in the region are going to be much weaker. I didn't expect EE to get in because he doesn't seem to be in the right team plus he is probably up on his crazy strategies.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: TENNIS: Wimbledon 2021 on: July 05, 2021, 10:31:26 AM
Why are there some players that have a number in them while the other don't? Just a curious question, really interested with Wimbledon even though tennis is far from popular in my country. Also, why are some of the famous players aren't participating in this tournament?
1517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Million dollar win on $15 parlay whoa on: July 05, 2021, 09:38:35 AM
I don't think these guys who bet like this,small amounts with huge odds really expect that bet to be a win.They just bet for fun and they say if it happens I am a millionaire,they just play bingo and I have seen very few wins like this in all gambling history.This is what is called pure luck and has nothing to do with sport betting skills,or maybe just a bit of some skill.
That's obvious because I mean the amount of bet isn't even that big and it's probably a forgettable bet. I don't believe in luck because to me, it's just numbers that we have no way to explain how it got there that's why we call it luck.
1518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Feedback on the Blackjack Trainer by Bojoko on: July 05, 2021, 08:59:35 AM
Does your Blackjack Trainer have a card counting tutorial for beginners or OP just forgot to mention about it, I want to learn about card counting and how to do it even though I don't gamble that much anymore, it's a pretty cool trick to do when you are with your friends.
1519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recognizing Gambling Disorders, Symptoms of Severe Gambling Addiction on: July 05, 2021, 08:24:09 AM
Even if they already know yet they deny to respond because they are starting to patronizing gambling and rely their future in luck.

which means gamblers becomes addicted because of their own laziness and stupidity .
What's important here is that people around the person showing symptoms are aware of it, it doesn't need to be the one inflicted to know, they will deny it no matter what, you know the phrase about the one's who suffer is the last to know that they suffer?
1520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 05, 2021, 06:54:09 AM
I think Inoue will be the undisputed champion if the fight ever happens. He's young and still undefeated, and he will reign in the bantam class for a long time if he stays in bantam. Anyway, Donaire isn't getting any younger, and judging from their 1st fight, his gas may be last shorter than 9th round. His winning scenario is only if he can KO Inoue in early-mid rounds. That said, I'd put my money on Inoue.
Definitely, I think that even with all the experience that is under Donaire's belt, I don't think that age will not be a factor if they ever fought but that could go either way because Donaire is still a good fighter and the experience is what he might just need to defeat Inoue by UD, KO, or TKO.
