1941  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gift to wife on wedding. on: June 13, 2023, 10:49:28 PM
Although I still studied, I invested a small amount in Bitcoin. I will get married if I get a good job. Many people give many things to their wives as wedding gifts, I have a different plan. I am planning to gift bitcoin to my wife on her wedding day. Bitcoin is still illegal in my country so I invested with caution. On my wedding day I want to gift half of my investment to my wife.
Should I gift bitcoin to my wife? I want your advice
Well, if you're married both of you will have a conjugal obligation so that's normal that what's yours will be hers and what's hers will be yours unless both of you have an agreement. I think before you get married, you might be as well stable first and don't decide too quickly unless the type of living where you are is easy going and not stressful. Because based on the world economy, many are struggling on how's the increase of goods in different country so. There's nothing wrong giving her a bitcoin as a gift and if that's your decision, I am sure that no matter what you give to her will be taken and handled with care.
1942  Economy / Economics / Re: Should you save, when you are wealthy? on: June 12, 2023, 11:39:03 PM
The answer is yes because you being wealthy does not mean that your finance can't decline, it very important for everyone to save wether you are reach or poor, that's why the rich is always in search of lucrative investment because of the fear of being poor, the rich look for more money by investing in different things in other to keep their wealth by so doing they are practicing savings in disguise.
But it's the different way of what the actual rich people does, they also do save but not entirely their wealth on savings but in investments. I still want to save money and that's a yes because having cash ready anytime you want to spend it on anything is always the best guarantee that you can have and it will give you a peace of mind. While it's easy to say that the poor people should also save you, you'll never understand their situation if you have never been into their shoes, they barely save and they barely have investments and everything that they're earning is being allocated to their needs for daily survival and food.

Speaking of DOTA events. Tomorrow is the start of DreamLeague Season 20 in Stockholm, Sweden.

I guess most bitcointalk folks isnt really interested with Dota anymore . Normally we would have plenty of conversations regarding this but it seems abit different as no one really mention about this in this thread
Not really, there are still a lot of interest for Dota 2 and that is because we've got two threads for esports and the other folks have been posting also there so, maybe the other one is more active than this.

Anyway, small tips from me if you are betting on this. Draw seems like the best option so far as alot of teams are getting draws since yesterday so goodluck guys  Smiley
For the DreamLeague S20, all matches for the group stage 1 are only 2 maps so yeah betting for a draw is more likely. But for the group stage 2, it's now best of 3 so that's where the harder part will start.
1944  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance crisis - how will it affect the crypto market? on: June 11, 2023, 10:20:30 PM
the dibinance crisis will make all crypto impact the market.
It already did but it didn't last long. So from $27k and then it plummet and now recovering and back to $26k.

something that is big and well-known if it suddenly becomes problematic will certainly have a bad impact.
That's for sure but all of these happenings will have temporary affection to the market. And once it's done, it's done and the market will recover after all of these big news.

maybe the crypto market will drop very deep if binance threatens to collapse.
We'll see but I think that we won't see as big as the drop of the FTX collapse. Binance is far from that IMO and that's why there is nothing to worry with.
1945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can They Find A Way to Do It To Bitcoin? on: June 10, 2023, 10:53:09 PM
Nope. They'll be able to stop people on their jurisdiction and geographical location but they'll never be able to control and sue Bitcoin. Who are they gonna sue just as what they're doing to exchanges? Satoshi Nakamoto? The miners? The traders? Us? Well, they can just make laws out of it based on what they prefer but on the other side of the world, they can't control people that have been using Bitcoin, trading and holding it.
Whilst it is here to stay and the network is secured and they can't do something about it. Even if they fund to attack it, that will be useless, worthless and just a waste of money if they do so. The point is totally pointless if they ever try to do that with Bitcoin and I think, they all understand it.
1946  Economy / Economics / Re: To Hodl or Lend: What is your take? on: June 08, 2023, 09:13:01 AM
Let's generalize the lending thing in the crypto community. There have been projects that have made their main use case into lending and we've seen that most of them collapsed. If personally I'll go with the lending business and I'll have a budget of my BTC into lending, I'll pass.
It's an headache and painful honestly and even if I haven't done such, imagining of how things will go when you're gonna have hard time asking for the payment of your borrowers seems to be like having no hope and just a discouragement why I've been into this. So honestly, it's hard pass on me if this idea is gonna be brought by someone to me. I'll just leave it to those that has a strong heart and have been into this business for years.

Is there a team that's owned by Indonesia? I know that there are Indonesian players but I don't know that there's such thing in existence. There are notable Indonesian players but the competition is just too tough on Dota 2. Even if you go as a player, it's entirely hard to win a game these days and that's thanks to the new meta that keeps on being updated and no one has that upperhand unless you're experienced and with good teammates. Since Indonesia is part of the SEA, I've just seen the game of Boom Esports and Mansion Army Geniuses, the one that's relegated to division 2 is the Boom Esports. These has got Indonesian players but their offlane was out and was subbed by Mushi, this team has also got notable players but still having hard time retaining their status.
Boom Esport is one of Indonesia's teams and they don't seem to have an impressive championship title but at least there are representatives from Indonesia who can play in the Dota 2 Esport field.
I don't know why Indonesia has never had a prestigious title in the field of Esport and as far as I know, only MPL has become Indonesia's pride in the field of Esport, and even then it was several years ago.
In other esports, they're doing pretty well but Dota 2 is a tough competition in the world of Esports. Sadly with Boom Esports, they're relegated to division 2. Together with Xerxia, they're back there and will have another tough competition to go back to the division but I don't think that we'll see that soon as the next tournaments are going to be invitationals and as well as through regional qualifiers for the TI.

Talking about the Indonesian Dota 2 team, maybe they can learn more and also add some experience so they can compete with other countries' Dota 2 teams.
Boom is strong and they even won majors but it's just that they've changed roster and they can't keep up with the old roster they've got that has won majors. They should have budgeted that roster until they've been having hard time now.

Congratulations on winning that bet despite that GG lost this game, they're still now gonna go on Bali and at the same time, they are going to the The International assuring their slot. Well played and well done to them.
Yes, I hope that it really happens so that they can provide enthusiasm and motivation for the Dota team which is owned by Indonesia.
But it seems that the team from Indonesia has never won a prestigious title.

I think everyone will speak with their own experiences.

Just me lost over 10.000$ there  ( yes the game can be manipulated 10000% ill add a video youtube soon proofing that )
Aren't you doing this because you're just out of your anger that you've lost that amount there?

3. Take a look at their TrustPilot its reviews everyone says its scam  
I've taken a look at their rating there but it's a mixed one, there were those saying it's legit and the ones that were saying that it's a scam were much likely angry because the fact that they've lost.

You have already posted on their announcement thread with the same post as this on this section. So speaking for my experience when I've played there, I had never experienced any issues with them whether I'd lost or won some.
1950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: June 02, 2023, 10:55:56 PM
Yes, thanks buddy.
But if Tundra can ask for consideration and is willing to make several requests, maybe there will be a solution regarding visas to be able to come to Indonesia because this is a game competition so it doesn't trigger many people to arrive there.
After all, there will surely be the best way or solution to solve problems regarding visas.
They can't just ask consideration for it. They'll be asking the Indonesian government to do such with 33's visa but with their history together with Israel, all I can say is that they're not in good terms and that's why there's nothing 33 and Tundra can do to this.
Let's just hope for the best for 33 and his team if ever they're qualified to go to Bali but that's much likely that they'll qualify. And if application of visa for 33 don't work, they'll have to look for another stand-in and I think that might be resolution as the stand-in of all time. LOL.  Grin
I don't know what will happen but I'm sure there will be the best solution for the problem.
Moreover, for now Esports is in a very superior phase in various countries including Indonesia and with the arrival of a big team like Tundra in Bali, Indonesia will be eagerly waiting and supported by most Indonesians who are Esports lovers.
And that best solution is gonna find them a stand-in. I think it was even Indonesia that has banned Steam so that wouldn't even be a greater consolation knowing that this is Steam/Valve event.

Anyways today Tundra will be playing against Gaimin Gladiators.
The odds are bigger on Tundra and even though the two teams are equally strong, my belief is always on Tundra's side.
Hopefully they can give satisfactory results.

Congratulations on winning that bet despite that GG lost this game, they're still now gonna go on Bali and at the same time, they are going to the The International assuring their slot. Well played and well done to them.
1951  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bybit is the next to exit Canada, stating regulatory reason on: June 01, 2023, 10:58:51 PM
Won't be surprising if there will be more even small exchanges that's based there in Canada to get out of their jurisdiction. When the big exchanges are struggling to comply to the policies that they have and to the compliance that they're requiring, there will be a domino effect.
If I remember correctly, Bitbuy claims that they are the first registered Canadian crypto exchange. Compared to other exchanges, they are quite small afaik. I think another scenario can also happen, where more exchanges become more regulated and comply with whatever the government tells them. At the end of the day, as long as the market exists, they will definitely try to take profit from that IMO.
Yeah, it's possible. While exchanges like ByBit gets out of the country, there will be the other companies that will think of what's left behind and they'll take that as an opportunity that they should just do whatever the regulators are asking for any compliance that they can do easily.

But yeah, if the risk and cost are not worth it, then P2P is probably the only option.
True and that's why for some reasons they're out while there's still a market that they can work with, this is for the other remaining exchanges be it big or small. It really depends on their approach and how they're being approached but on this case, when they feel the pressure and can't take the heat in the kitchen then they'll have to be out.

I feel bad for the Canadians that have found some comfort with these exchanges that's been out of their country because of their government's poor consideration with this. I think this has something to do with the truck drivers before that had their bank accounts frozen and the means of receiving their donations were true crypto. That's just a speculation and wild guess from me.

True. If the Indonesian government makes an exception with 33, a lot of questions will arise and issues will certainly prevail. The Indonesian government is known to not change their stance on things that easily, and it will take a lot more than a Dota major for them to budge even a little. Hopefully they get a stand-in that can match 33's tempo and creativity in the game. That guy is a great offlaner and there's not a lot of players out there that can come to his level at this current meta.
While Tundra is now sure that they'll be going to Indonesia which is the Bali major, this is the tougher battle for 33. That's true that just because there's a big event that will happen to them, they'll pass and cut 33 some slack, I don't think so. 33 is aware of that and that's why I am sure that they're trying to figure out not about the visa but for who's going to be replacing him as a stand-in. But who knows, if the Indonesian government will be too kind for him but I don't think so. I'd like to watch some 33's offlane on that major because it's really on a different level if it's a major or TI unlike these online tourneys that they play.

The Dota 2 DPC SA Tour 1 match still has 3 matches and for Bleed vs Boom it has started but for the first round it has not been resolved but it looks like later Bleed will win this match.
The other two matches are still underway in a few hours and I'm trying to bet wins on Bleed, Tundra as well as Gaimin Gladiators.
It's been a long time since I not to bet on Dota tournaments and now I'm trying again, who knows luck might be on my side.
Congrats, speaking of Tundra. 33 has got a sentiment that if they qualify for the Bali major, he may not be able to participate as he'll get some visa issues. Why? Because he's an Israeli and Indonesian government doesn't recognize Israel as a state and that means he may get his visa application rejected if they'll qualify which is very likely. And if that happens, they will get a stand-in and whoever that could be will change the gameplay of Tundra. It's so hard to win these games and yet they've been battling against these visa applications and issues. That's the main antagonist for every major that's happening for most of the teams.
Yes, thanks buddy.

1955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or banking investment? on: May 27, 2023, 11:50:53 PM
I believe bitcoin and banks are well renounced investment platforms but many people prefer bitcoin investment despite is very risky because of high demands and rising price interest and banks on the other hand saves millions of people finances all over the world yet their investment interest is very small but less risky than bitcoin. Which do you preferred your money to be save in as investment? Bitcoin or bank! What's your reason?
Banks aren't really designed for investing. Because they are a bank and they are for the deposits and if ever they offer some investment products, it is far from the projected profit that Bitcoin can give. I prefer to have a bit of savings to my bank but a bigger part of my wealth in Bitcoin and I mean this. Like, I do not have much money on my banks account but I am happy with what I have as per holding Bitcoins. And that is why someday I am hoping that it will be more than what I am expecting to earn for which I will never earn from investing through bank.

Which drive me back to this question that "WHY IS BITCOIN ALWAYS IN A STATE OF BULL RUN"BTC
It's because if you look at the history of it up to this moment, we can say that it's always on a bull run. But that's a good point of view by looking at that side. And if you're new, you won't look at that matter but will only look at the perspective when it has reached the ATH and then with today's price.

That is the smartest way to play, with money that is quite available to lose, not money that I am willing to risk and is already committed, personally I have always made a part of my money available to play, and that Part of me forget that it exists, so it's much better because my brain doesn't get the idea that I should get that money back, but Rather that this money is taken just to play, so there is no Regret and it is Played with more ease and there is no danger of Addiction.
Much better if most of the gamblers are like that and have that approach towards gambling. Because for the most emotional gamblers, this is going to be another phase of their lives that they'll need to tackle seriously and who doesn't want to win? All of us do want it but then, if the reality ticks in and you understand that not everyone is gonna win everyday. Tough times and losing days could come to you anyday and much worse if it's a streak. The idea of chasing your losses is normal to everybody when we're losing but then, the acceptance of it is much appreciated if you're having a clean mindset just as what you've said. This will save you with a lot of emotional hit if ever the outcome is the worst.

They're not amazed of it and still doubts the potential of Bitcoin. They just can't invest into something that's highly volatile and they're not looking at it just the way we're looking at it. There's a huge gap between the bankers and Bitcoin because they've got a separate belief unlike us who truly sees the potential of it no matter what negative feedbacks we're hearing with the "experts" telling that it's gonna be something bad for financial matters of an individual. But let's say that if the bankers did this, well, they'll take all the hashrates, most of supply of Bitcoins currently but that doesn't mean they'll take all because there are still some that's not yet mined.

ATF is truly a gigachad of Dota 2 right now and he is in this form for 2 years now and I'm glad to finally see him happy with Quest because he deserves it.
Yeah, he's good with Quest and it's another underrated team and I think he's gonna have a good future with them if they keep on continuing on these tournaments gaining experiences from other pro teams. His contribution to the team will make even better because even with a short span from being part of OG and Nigma, that will tell a lot on them.

Same goes for Sumail who right now , he is leaving his best moments of his Dota 2 careers in DPC China. More than this , DPC China is giving a lesson to PGL Dota in Europa and American because they have setup a LAN event for DPC games and they have a crowd as well. Don't sleep on this guys , because it means Dota 2 China teams will have LAN experience on every game they are playing in DPC right now.  Cool
In all honesty for Xu Mail, this is one of the best transitions that I've ever seen. Most of these pro players from other regions except China, they don't want to go there because of the communication barrier but I don't know if Xu Mail really knows some basic chinese words or it's just plainly a Dota 2 communication that's happening within Team Aster. As of now, in the CN 2023, they're doing a good job at the opening of it. We might even see them again at the Bali Major.
