This thread should be on the Gambling discussion. --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=228.0

First of all, I think if someone's goal is to build wealth. Then, it shouldn't be pursued with gambling. I know that there are rare and lucky people that have made their wealth through gambling but, this isn't the case at most times.

But I do agree that if someone who has a rich and positive mindset and will pair it with hard work and then will upgrade to working smartly, we will see the results positively and even better if it's not with gambling.

That game is lit!

The connection of somnus' puck and Fy's tiny is really great. And that's the reason why they've won that match, the combo of these two brought the team into victory.

Is there? Maybe you're talking about the regional qualifiers.

Only two regions will be able to take two slots and those are the South America and Western Europe region. The rest regions only has one slot to make.

You'll never know what these people are up to and what they're currently facing with their finances. As much as it's easier to say that they should buy, invest and hold bitcoin because halving is near.

Even if they want to, they just can't and for that, it has to be some reasons why they can't do that. If you're able and financially prepared for it and keeping up stacks of sats then that's good for you.

But whether you label them procrastinators or not or anything that's been delaying their desire to buy. If there's no problem and they're not hesitating, they should have bought long time ago already.

That's why there is a pressure if you're the breadwinner of the family and that's why you need to work hard as much as you can. Talk to your wife and arrange things because she's the first one that should know what you're feeling and not other people.

Everyone seems to be tough but we understand that there's weakness everywhere. It's about teamwork when you're in a family that you've built and your wife should also help you out if she can be.

We do want to earn a lot of money because that seems to solve everything but maybe on this case, all you need is to take a rest, take a vacation, a vacation that doesn't have to be expensive but just a way to breathe some fresh air.

I guess they have the idea on how these P2P transaction works and with the heavy sanction that's been placed on Russia with what they've done, most electronic cash transfers have been disabled and they're resorting out to this type of transfers with Bitcoin.

Just like our friends here said that they can't do anything with it. But, the only thing they can do is to track those platforms for which they've got the record of the users and the transactions being done there.

If the actuality of person to person transaction is being done without any intervention of a platform or any third party, I doubt it that they'll be able to intervene and track any of those.

Yes, they've closed their US operations already and that's why some scammers are taking advantage of that.

Nice find, OP!

And this is the reason why first of all when someone sees an .xyz domain, you shouldn't be surprised if it's used for scamming people and copying legitimate businesses. Whether it's an exchange, a crypto casino or any other genuine business, you don't trust them.

While these scammers have it all prepared and includes an app, I think this isn't the first time I've seen it but it's rare to see them very well prepared that even they create an app and upload it on the Google Play store or Apple Store.

They're spending lots of money knowing that they'll victimize a lot of newbies.

Anytime where is profit already for the long time holders. At this moment, I am sure that many HODLERS here can afford to sell and buy back again if it's necessary.

Well for my reasons of why I would sell is likely that I'll go into another venture to create another investment or business that shall increase the value of what I've sold in Bitcoin.

I'm not yet on the part that I'll take fancy vacations or owning a home because I am not yet done and settled from my holdings. Although I've got in my plans and who knows in the future if I'll have more homes that I can run as a rental business.

Yeah, the terms are different but they've got the same definition. With the emergence of people being informed of what these terms are, everyone starts to realize that the cycle should stop on this generation within themselves, within their initiatives.

Discussing it with our parents is a good start and I am sure that they will understand our sentiments based on our explanation. It's not bad to give back to them as they've been the one that has guided and took care of us.

Don't give if you're not happy. But no one can stop you from giving them as much as you can.

Just don't forget to save for yourself and your future so that you won't be ending up as sandwich generation. Fortunately, there are a lot of difference from their time and in today's time and that's why we can break that cycle.

I will not also do this but maybe if in total need and when there is no option anymore, might be forced in doing so but hopefully not gonna be into that situation.

It's not giving me that confidence of letting my bitcoin be with the pawnshop because you'll never know what's on the mind of these pawnshops especially if this is like a new service to them.

And as long as I have other things to pawn or if I don't have to do that, I wouldn't do it and it doesn't make sense to take a loan for nothing at all. Might keep it plain and there until the bull run arrives and sell it, I'll follow the style of delayed gratification if the thing I want can be saved and bought in the nearest future.

Yeah, that's understandable for him but I hope that he'll take what's done by notail that even it's still good that he can play, he turned out of the space and just acts now in the backend of his team, OG.

I think that many teams are studying on how to be against them. They're sychronized team and undefeated and if no patch will happen for this upcoming Bali major then they will still dominate it.

But for the TI, I think a patch is necessary as always.

Can't be denied, he think that he can still play and win against these young talents that are on their prime. Well, kuro is pass his prime and that's why he needs transition.

He should just get out of pos 5 and play as a coach.

I feel bad for Kuro, he should just have transition from playing into coaching just as what's being suggested by many. At the end of this qualifier, Secret won against Nigma.

And then, Secret lost against Quest.

Quest = going to the Riyadh to join other qualified teams for this huge stack and prize pool tournament.

While Gaimin Gladiators was already direct invited to Riyadh and they've won the Dream League season 20, the slot will be filled by another team with an average placement as per liquipedia.

That's desperation, good thing that it's been caught but expect that there will be series of it to come. Like they'll just wait until this thread will be on a calm mode and then they'll be back with a new account trying to fetch victims that are gullible enough to get scammed.

Hopefully that there will be no more people that will be scammed by these folks.

They think that this forum is a place where they can get people believe them by using cancer patients or any charity for someone to donate.

To the real donators, don't buy on these people. If someone who has a good heart, just go to those legitimate charities and you know how to find them through internet.

I am not even sure why they seem to be in a pattern that one after another. Didn't they talk about this and planned this all along before the bull run comes?

But one thing for sure is that they're going to be one of the reasons to trigger the demand and show the signs that we're near to the bull run.

Yes.

Law of supply and demand. The more demand coming from these institutions, the higher the price that it will drive.

Anyone who's watching the match of Nigma.Galaxy and Team Secret ME for the Riyadh masters MENA qualifier?

The 2nd map was quite funny that the tally of the score is like that Team Secret just played with some AI, for real. Kuro doesn't really fit anymore to play, as on this match he played carry.

I have nothing against the legends and old players like him that has proven himself to be one of the best. But not anymore on this era, well, map 3 will be coming shortly and whoever wins this will proceed to the finals with Quest Esports.

We do get that cycle that every bitcoin halving happens, we're assuming that the next thing that should happen is the bull run. I am also thinking the same and even if there are people that discouraged me before (not from the forum) I'm not allowing them to change my decision on how firm I am as a long term investor.

But every bull run should be taken advantage by everybody. If there's the chance you're about to make profit, take your profits. You have to take profit even if you're playing long term in here.

That's how it goes and how you're going to enjoy the long waiting game. Just take some of it and still continue the firm belief and decision of being long term.

As they've got a change with the battlepass, maybe there's something from that that we can take as the start of the changes after the upcoming TI.

Maybe there's some hope and maybe there's none.

We'll just check it out and if it happens then that's good and if there are changes that's not favoring to this thing that we're discusses, still good and no heartbreaks.

Anyway, this is the news that there's no battle pass for this year. --> https://www.oneesports.gg/dota2/dota-2-battle-pass-2023-not-coming/

Definitely that TI is still the best of these all tournaments, it's like the grandest and most awaited tournament not just by fans but of course by most of the players and teams.

But what if by after this upcoming TI, Valve will decide and will have a talk with the Saudi Arabian government that they should strengthen their relations towards this event and it's gonna be a yearly with also an increasing prize pool just as TI.

Or there could be some twist that Valve decides it to be part of the DPC season and will also give out DPC points before the TI but this isn't applicable for this year.

I am talking about the possibility of what can happen by next year when these tournaments are done and all of them resulted into a satisfying ending for which will make the Saudi government and Valve to keep up with more tournaments.

IMHO, even if we'll list as much as important factors for learning through our worst bets and losses is that we will still forget most of them. And with the lessons that we may learn from those, eventually they'll have no place in our minds when we're currently or actively gambling.

Because it gets into our minds that the most important thing is to win. And we only do realize these factors and lessons when we've lost and we've got nothing left.

The latter part of having nothing after we gamble is pushing us to the point that there must be something wrong and we do recognize that at the end. It's true that all of those points should be remembered but situation changes and we often forget it when our emotions are being mixed.

I see, that there are cons that have been using their name and the activity of this company is to do fraudulent things. Just as you've said, I've checked it out and it came from Binance's own website and the details were there.

--> https://www.binance.com/en/feed/post/660934

It seems that this is what we're seeing and it's a global thing for Binance. Because recently, I've just seen a headline that's related again to them and it's about money laundering in France.

--> https://www.reuters.com/technology/binance-under-investigation-france-illegal-canvassing-le-monde-2023-06-16/

This is too much for Binance, I guess they need to fix their internal affairs before going on with the compliance that's being asked to them in different regions and countries.

While they might admit or not and will have to say that this is another FUD. The image that these news brings to them isn't really good for them and its reputation.
