So new matching fixing?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/r0btf9/smart_omega_have_been_banned_from_competing_in/

Turns out that it could still be possible nowadays. They do really think that they could really done it without being caught specially now
that accessibility is way too common?
There are still low key throwing even in tournaments. These players don't care about their possible career in the Dota 2 scene. They've just wasted their career and their long time play are put into waste. There are still non-valve dota 2 tournaments but prize pool isn't that great. Every dota 2 player wishes to participate in any Valve sponsored tournaments because there's a great share for their prize pool and it's Valve, we know. As for catching these throwers or sellers of game, their plays can easily be found especially with questionable moves and obvious ones.
Well they had just exchanged out that career for some money which i dont really see for it to be that worth nor even ethical on doing it on the first place.Most of people do presume out that they were involved on gambling which they did go all in? I don know with those presumptions but it turns out to be probable and could really happen.
It sucks on knowing up some news like this about match fixing but well it isnt something that new too this though which it isnt really that surprising.
There's nothing new about it, it's been happening for even centuries now and that is inevitable to any form of gambling to see any forms of fixing wether they pay for some players to throw in middle of the game to flip the situation. And some people are willing to get paid because either they are known or they don't their career anymore to improve. It's been always about money. It's up to the moderators of Valve or E-Sports management to catch these people.

formal knowledge got when you try something new, and most of us know bitcoin from experiencing good and bad thing.
its not easy like play easy game, every investment need strong thought, to surf deeper, to take big profit. and easy investment is just following third party that just give you clean profit every week/month. no need to think about what to do, just prepare you funds.
It is totally understandable if we just try to gain experience if we could. That would be a better thing and we would be able to just get better and better over time, it is really a great situation for everyone involved. Sure you are going to end up with some losses and that is why many people do not try it but theory could get you only to a level whereas everything else will make you a lot richer.

If we end up buying at low levels and sell at higher levels then it doesn't matter how long it takes to profit, it would give us a great chance to make a profit over period of long time when we are newbies and we will get better at doing it and can be able to do it quicker as well. So just start doing it right away, learn from your mistakes, see how the better version could be done and you are going to end up with making a lot more profit in the long run.
Not only in crypto, but also in all sources of income, if we can simply do the right thing in the first place, we will make a lot of profits in the long run. Being able to manage our investments properly will always result a positive outcome with good returns.

Yes, you are right OP, no where is actually safe since we all have risks to take when we aim of profits. But if we start learning how to manage the risk, that's the time we will find success in our investments.
1943  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Finally Climbs Back Above $50k, but can it Remain there? on: December 09, 2021, 09:42:26 PM
Everyone wishes to see the continuation of the bull run and who doesn't like it? Probably those that didn't stacked up during the dip. Well, they still have a chance as of this moment.
The continuation of the bullrun cannot be predicted but for me it is difficult to see now, the end of the month always says "buy dip" take advantage of this opportunity for me there is still a chance even though the price keeps changing.
When the bulls come be prepared sometimes it makes us like it more and start it, but at $47k it's a buy before it flies.
Are we really going to see a bull run before this year ends? Even myself, i'm already confused with how bitcoin drops its price consistently, and before we knew it, bitcoin price is already below $40k. So to answer the thread, bitcoin this time cannot really remain its $50k resistance level, either it goes down badly or it goes up surprisingly. However, there's no reason to stay being negative as we are also facing another opportunity to buy bitcoin again and with the strong altcoins at their low prices. If bitcoin won't end up having bull run this year, then we have still next year to count on.
1944  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin is overtaken by Ethereum in market cap? on: December 09, 2021, 06:53:47 PM
In cryptocurrency everything can happen including Ethereum will take over bitcoin in the market, if that will happen then cryptocurrency will change and will not be good in the eyes of new players as if the ruler of crypto is Ethereum even though in terms of market use today Ethereum continues to be in a hurry instead of bitcoin, but bitcoin will forever remain the mother of all altcoins and the safest.
Of course the crypto market will possibly create changes but no one will change the fact that bitcoin will always be the most valuable and most profitable crypto in the market. New comers will surely choose ethereum over bitcoin when it comes to  market cap, but if you are still doing DYOR just before coming in the market, you will never entrust your funds fully on ethereum as bitcoin will always be better than it, and its adoption is more massive compared to ethereum. However, we have noticed these days that ethereum is even more stable than bitcoin but i think at the end of the day, bitcoin will still make it to the top.
1945  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Never sell for a loss - is a Myth !! on: December 09, 2021, 05:59:09 PM
Here, I agree with you. After all, you may not have time to put spop loss on the redemption of your coin, when the market is quite volatile. For example, I bought 10 and the market collapsed to 5 dollars, you just have to wait for your price tag initially, but this is more of an exception to the rule. In general, stop moose really protects against huge losses.
Yes, that is the main purpose of setting a stop loss, to prevent yourself from experiencing huge losses. And i think that will not be hard to do, unless you are thinking that having this is still useless, because you'll still lose in the end. And i think no one would really sell at a loss intentionally. We all have our own strategies to end up profitable, but if you have invested in wrong coins which are shit coins, then there's no where to go but to end up losing. And as much as we can, either you're in purely hodling or trading, its good to set stop loss first so you will be guided which will prevent you from losing much.
1946  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn’t KYC anti-ethical to Bitcoin? on: December 09, 2021, 03:56:04 PM
If you use a centralized exchange, then you hand out many, important, personal stuff such as who you are. While you may achieve a significant proportion of anonymity (using CoinJoins, mixers etc.), it's still not enough to cover your untraceability. The fact that you've given away where you live, your phone number, your credit card / bank account, your identity etc., says a lot by itself. Those individuals behind the exchange can sell your info to even chain analysis companies.

So, I'd say that beyond purchases of cryptocurrencies, you should be really aware of who you're giving this sensitive information. Especially when you want to retain anonymity.
If we think of bitcoin originally, it says freedom is what bitcoin brings, and for that being anonymous is free. But i think with a lot of exchanges that we have right now which are mostly centralized, then submitting a KYC form is a must and they say its all for security reason. Although we still have some exchanges who are not requiring KYC, but most of them are not even reputable. So the risk will be much even higher.

For me, although its really quite unethical when we think of bitcoin with KYC, but if we want more efficient and secured transactions, then keeping your privacy may not be fully realized as it is. So just always be cautious and even careful on the exchanges you are submitting your KYC, as sharing your private datas may be quite dangerous to think particularly if you are a bag holder of bitcoin.
1947  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin resistance and support price on: December 08, 2021, 09:37:02 PM
It is clear that support points do not mean anything. It is clear that we are talking about something that is dangerously fragile whenever we fall, we end up falling all the time and it causes the price to drop under support point without even hesitation. We had a support point recently, we were above 55k and from 55k to 45k we had many support points, what happened with them? Nothing. We broke under them in a few days very easily.

The only silver lining about this situation is that we are talking about resistance points as well, they are just as much fragile and whenever we want to move up, there is nothing that is stopping us there neither and we can increase very easily.
For a while those support levels meant something, but from the moment the market became unstable on, those levels have been broken and now it will take a while until we see new solid support in bitcoin price. At least this kind of interpretation helps us to identify how bitcoin is doing on short run and what its tendencies are. At this moment the market is somehow volatile, although nothing too bad as it was already seen years ago.

Today bitcoin bounced back to 48,000$ and in less than 3 hours later it was already hitting 51,000$ again! That is pretty interesting, but we still need to wait until we can classify a new range of price as support level here.
As long as bitcoin is always volatile, then we will always witness such interesting surging of prices from its previous ones. Although the current price is not yet a guarantee that it will continue to rise up, but it will also create chances once bitcoin will be able to find a new strong support level. For now, let's just wait what will be the next target price of bitcoin, either it continues to move upward, or maybe another false hope again once we see its price moving in a downward trend. Better enjoy the ride and never gets panic.
1948  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $2 million worth of SHIBA INU bought on: December 08, 2021, 07:57:02 AM
As per the latest update an Ethereum whale has purchased SHIB worth over $2 million, is that why we have seen recovery in the price over last 24 hours? I am wondering whether this will push more users to buy SHIB as there are two reasons why users will buy SHIB, one just because it's recovering and second is the assumption that whenever whales invest into any crypto it would pump hard. Are we being bull trapped again ?
The whale is also taking a very huge risk. Even though people noticed he bought it. How sure you are that the btc market wouldn't crash the alts, cause once btc crashes it. Even though he had a good port of shib, it will be affected as well. Its not like shib is one of the biggest coin out there especially its only a meme coin. Institution are probably thinking twice to follow that kind of whale suicide mission.
For me, this is some kind of attracting more people to invest in SHIB because of a trap that will happen later on or this is the start that SHIB will have its own season and end up in a huge price. However, this is not a guarantee that whatever a big whale started, it will soon to breakout. Not in the case of meme coins because aside from they have no use case, they are mostly affected when a big dump hits the market. So for me, what a big whale did was very risky as it may cause a massive loss in the end.
1949  Economy / Economics / Re: Transforming skill to profit. on: December 08, 2021, 07:26:33 AM

It started small..after someone saw my stuff and it grew bigger and bigger and now I can make some profits from my work. I cannot do it full-time because it will not pay the bills.. but I am working on it.  Wink

Except if you kind of not sure of yourself. If you started small and someone saw your work and liked it then showed it to someone else and you got more patronage then you can be better on it, expound and employ more hands you see at the end of the day you turn out to be an employer not just an artisan but some master teaching others and getting paid for doing what you enjoy doing. What you need is more zeal to your hard work and you can make it bigger.
If you are still starting to improve your skill, then expect that the profits will also start with a little amount and eventually turn it into a bigger and massive one once your skill has been perfected and already created a huge interest on the part of your clients. You have to keep improving your skill through utilizing it more often because as time goes by, your skill will turn out into an expertise. And with the expertise you have, that will lead into attracting more interest which in the latter part, will reward you through good profits.
1950  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoiner's with Zero investment. on: December 08, 2021, 06:47:40 AM
When we talk about 2013-2017, many early bitcoiners can easily collect bitcoin from faucets as we know that faucet gives a decent amount of rewards to people. At that time, it is easy to get much of satoshi, which is why people are trying to play with faucets.

I think those who joined after 2017-2021 can also follow the step from early bitcoiners by joining in the bounty campaign and they do not have to invest much money to earn tokens or coins. The only thing that we need to invest in is our time to gather as much data as possible to follow the journey from cryptocurrency.
Investing our time and effort in participating signature campaigns that are paying in bitcoin can be considered already as bitcoin investment. So even if you have no money to put in, as long as you have sources that are paying you in bitcoin, then you cannot be called as zero investment.

However, if we think it more deeply, a bitcoiner who is not making investments at all is just very useless at all. Because there are a lot of opportunities in bitcoin that can give you profits, so its up to you how you will grasp every opportunity that comes.
1951  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is getting more bearish, what is the trigger? on: December 07, 2021, 09:47:07 PM
the bear market is still not over at this point it will probably go down again to $45k before the holding price occurs. Regarding the trigger for a bear market based on many sources including the occurrence of a crypto market hack that caused the disposal of countless assets, this incident can trigger an extraordinary panic.

Are you saying that this is a bear trap? or you haven't check the price recently at it surge back to $51k?

Or if you say that it will go again to $45k kindly explain while it will happen and what factors will affect the market to be on the sell-off again? At least post a link about the hack that you are saying.

Anyhow, we are seeing a good recovery today, more than 7% increase in the last 24 hours, pushing the price above $50k again and it's a good sign that this December will be bullish.
Well, good to see that bitcoin is now gaining momentum to rise up again and recover its price from below $50k. This may be a positive sign that bitcoin is now set to reach another all time high since its the trend every december for bitcoin to end up with a new ATH. Regarding with what triggers bitcoin to dump, i think the latest covid strain has affected it but we know for sure that its effect will be temporary. Other than that, there may be some negative news but does not affect the market that much. Right now, bitcoin is priced at $50,749 so we need to be optimistic this time since its also a way of attracting good vibes in the market aside from the positive news that will soon to come in the market.
1952  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Would you like to trading with meme coins?? on: December 07, 2021, 09:13:47 PM
I am not trading meme coins too often except if the meme coins have a good volume. But I already traded Shiba and Safemoon before, which gave me a good profit. I search for the other meme coins, but I have not decided yet if that meme coin is good enough to provide me with the other profit. But I still keep some balance of Shiba and Safemoon just in case the price can increase suddenly to be another profit to me. Trading meme coins will have a risk such as a pump and a dump that can come to that coins unless you want to buy the meme coins and hold them for some time but if you do that, you need to think about the price that can be too volatile.
You trade meme coins too often or not. Memecoin is never a good investment/trading decision choice and if we look at the foundation of meme coin they are created for fun and to serve as a tipping coin. Although, all this changed where new project integrated buyback, passive income which is also called RFI-Static rewards but all these features are to encourage and lure in investors.
Its definitely risky to trade meme coins as well as investing in it since its more on a pump and dump. But if those meme coins have good trading volume, then maybe i'll try my luck then just get out quickly when the hype is over. Others have been trading already with meme coins and they end up making profits on it but this does not happen all the time. Trading meme coins may also lead to a huge loss if we are not that smart enough to monitor the price update since most of the meme coins suddenly drop their value with no guarantee to return again.
1953  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Economic Advantage on: December 07, 2021, 08:19:12 AM
You are right, at least access the internet and try to take advantage of internet resources that can be used to find various online jobs. Although it's not that easy, it takes hard work to find where to get financial resources from the internet. If you reflect with other people, the opposite phenomenon occurs, many of them have normal internet access, online job opportunities are available but cannot use them optimally. Whereas out there looking for something valuable to be developed is very difficult. Utilization of the internet, which is still a sector, is too broad, resulting in difficulties without guidance from people who have skills in the internet.
People now get help from the internet, wherein they can get so many opportunities to make money and if they can get the correct info, I am sure they will start to have a new resource to help them explore what they can do to earn more money. The world is evolving, and people should follow and use every chance to grow and have a better life. They can get guidance as long as they want to keep searching because, at one point, they will see that what they are looking for is actually helping them but they did not realize it. While some people now still work from home, it is better to use their free time to search for that opportunity because they can use the internet to get what they want.
We have a strong advantage these days compared to the old days since we have internet that serves as a helpful lead to us in the things we are opt to find answers. And even in this state of economic crisis, the internet is a good tool to connect us into our online jobs, just like to have access into bitcoin which is very helpful in times like this. For those who utilize their internet and come to understand bitcoin, it serves as an economic advantage, but for those who never have full understanding on bitcoin, its a threat to the government and fiat. But its undeniable these days that bitcoin can create positive changes in our individual's economics that will soon to improve a country's economy if given chances to be utilized properly.
1954  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason for the dump in Bitcoin and most of the Altcoin? on: December 06, 2021, 09:56:12 PM
I can say that in the December the whales withdraw a big amount from crypto market for Christmas . So market getting dump in every December also some coins are in hype because of there launchpad. Other cause may be shifting of money for one to another .


if there's one thing I noticed in this crypto market:

whales and hodl don't sell bitcoin to buy christmas stuff, they have real world money to buy christmas stuff

these guys who make Hodl or whales are making long term investments, they can only sell to buy low, but they don't sell to spend.
Whales are more known to have bundle of money so they can spend as much as they want without touching their cryptos. But for regular hodlers, i think they also plan to have some funds for this holiday season so they will probably sell some of their coins. So its not really surprising that there will be price dumps these days as more people are going to spend than to save. And its always a trend every december, but after this we will still witness price recovery once all these activities will be over.
1955  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin on sale, will the support continues to hold? on: December 06, 2021, 08:21:39 AM
We will see $50k soon because after BTC got down yesterday, it seems the price is going strong again and trying to increase step by step. Although it is not easy to lift and reach back to $50k, I am sure BTC can do that and grow at the right time. But BTC needs time before the price can go back to $50k while more support will come to back up bitcoin, which can help bitcoin to lift the price. If the price can increase and back to $50k, maybe we will have a big chance to see the price will continue to grow.
It's the people who actually makes the price move and not Bitcoin itself though I get your point but I just want to clear things up. Anyway, back to the topic, it seems that Bitcoin price is testing the support level if more weak-hands will going to dump this time so that whales could easily buy them at a low price. I hope weak-hands realize that 'cause if not then they're fuck up once Bitcoin starts to break slowly from $50k - $55k - $60k - $70k and so on though the hardest resistance ever Bitcoin want to break is the $70k and I think I've seen this kind of movement when Bitcoin was at $10k and is trying to break the $15k resistance but couldn't until some months pass by it finally break it straight to $20k and before we even realize it was a bull run already.
Hopefully, the support level can hold the price not to go down for more. Otherwise, we will see another moment for the bitcoin market falls once more time. Those weak hands really need to calm down for a moment by not selling their bitcoin with panic because the whales already target their bitcoin to buy. The hardest thing for bitcoin to break is in the price of $50k. Every time bitcoin wants to go to that price, it goes down but after a while, the price is back to the current price. Maybe this moment is crucial for bitcoin because this is like a new starting point for bitcoin to go to the higher level of the price. Hopefully, this month and next year can be a good start to rise again.
Bitcoin at the moment is already below $50k with its current price at $48,517 so it has broke already the $50k support level, and then what's next? $40k? The year is about to end, but it seems bitcoin price will continue to drop more. Yes, this might be a good opportunity to start buying bitcoin, but might be devastating for those who are hodling bitcoin for long term and wish to see huge profits this december. Hopefully, good news will come into the market that will create positive impact into bitcoin price, and i think all good things will certainly follow. The market may looks bearish but definitely, not a perfect time to start panic selling.
1956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 03, 2021, 09:04:09 PM
What a game for the Bulls last night! I got to it a little bit late not getting back from the gym quite on time for the opening tip, but I was able to watch most of the first though the rest of the game.  Once again the Bulls started off super hot, and got up to a huge lead which they allowed the Knicks to come back in the game and even go up at one point. Thankfully the big 3 ( Lavine, DeRozan, Vuc) kept them in it and lead a comeback for the Win.  34 for DeRozan, and 27 for both Lavine and Vuc was awesome to see.  What maybe best of all to see is how Vuc has been playing of late.  We needed him to step up and start playing like the All-Star he is and he's been doing just that of late.

What's scary is that DeRozan started slow in the first quarter but still finished big. Vuc was also hot in the 1st quarter and he has a good 2 games too under his belt. It looks like the Bulls have found it's rhythm again with this big win against the Knicks.
Bulls were very efficient on that game, the big 3 are once again showing their chemistry as the scores based on their stats.

Vucevic 27 points
DeRozan 34 points
LaVine 27 points.

If LA Lakers had these kind of chemistry for their big 3, they'll also be successful this season like the Bulls.

Seems that smart money now is on the Golden State against the Suns. Let's see if Curry will break out of his slump from their first game and will have his usually 30++ points in this game. I also bet on them -6.5.

I'm not sure if it's a smart money or the public money, but I am hoping the warriors will take a revenge here.

Will the Blackwater would improve next conference?

This is a good news though. Amer-Casio pair impresses as Blackwater beats Meralco in tune-up... however it's just a tune up game, hopefully they'll do that in the actual game as last season they are winless IIRC.

Well, this might boost the confidence of the players of Blackwater by a little bit after having a very disappointing All Filipino Cup.

Because this is just a tune up game, I'm not expecting too much from it because it might be that the players of Meralco didn't perform at their best performance when they played against Blackwater. Lets just see it in the 8th of December on how BW will play and I just hope that their losing streak will be over this season because it very embarrassing if you will ask me.

Yes it's very embarrassing but since this team is Blackwater, it's not surprising anymore, so they have to work hard to at least break that losing streak and maybe be ready for the new one, lol. All I can say is that I'm hoping there's no problem and they'll start the new conference according to the announced schedule as the timing is good, we will have a great month in December as the PBA is live again.
1958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 03, 2021, 01:32:12 PM
Phoenix Suns are continuing to increase their winning streak. They beat Detroit Pistons by 114-103 last night and the streak has gone up to 18 games now. But I think that their great series will end tonight as they are going to play an away game against Golden State Warriors. They beat GSW a short time ago but Curry performed not very well. This time, I think GSW will win with the big help of him.

It will be more satisfying if they will beat Suns with a complete roster. There main problem is Ayton which can't even handle. Curry shooting that time is very poor that's why they lose on that particular match. Klay Thompson was already recalled to play on Warriors after showing good performance on minor league. There's still no news if Klay will already play but its awesome to watch both teams with complete roster and exchanging basket blow by blow.

Warriors can make an excuse that they lose because they are not complete, so it's the same thing with the Suns now, they will play without Booker and they can make an excuse if they will lose. But,... as a fan, I don't like to see teams making excuses, warriors does not have that kind of mentality IMO, not sure with the Suns though.

I agree with you, Curry will no longer struggle in this game and since Booker is out, the Warriors can take advantage of that and they will be able to complete their revenge in a satisfying manner. I can't wait for this game, and I'm a bit happy now that I have time tomorrow on the schedule of the game.

I'm also putting a bet on this game and I'm putting a player prop on Curry.

Oh... Hopefully the writers of this fight will be creative enough that the audience will enjoy it even knowing the outcome in advance.

They will always be creative, the reason why the hype is still on for exhibition fights is because of the good writer who writes the script very well. This is certainly a scripted fight to protect Logan Paul, because if not, Tyson will destroy him and probably we will see a big knockout in this fight.
