21  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tesla may once again accept bitcoin payments whether this is capital snobbery or on: May 21, 2024, 12:41:16 AM
It may be that the recent news of BTC has been touched by the recent activity of Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk), which once again triggered fluctuations in the value of bitcoin. He recently tweeted that Tesla may resume accepting Bitcoin as a payment method
I don't think that we should give him more attention with whatever he does now. With what's happening to the Bitcoin's price as of now, we've reached back to $71k in just a few span of minutes after it has just hit $70k. And to give an idea to the other people that have been an avid fan of Elon and his companies, whether he's in or not, the market will continue to go on and Bitcoin will flourish no matter what. I can't deny that there's a significance of his influence to it because many are his followers but he's always on an all talk guy for the memes so, spare yourself if you're an avid fan and don't take his words as financial advise if you're an investor of BTC.

Is this capital support for BTC or the hot event of BTC again? Which leaves us guessing
Not anymore. But we're on a bull run and again with talks like this will certainly gather the attention of the media and they'll for sure gonna publish headlines against that will have that tag line of Elon BTC, Tesla invests in BTC and whatnot. That's how the media is capitalizing with this although the significance isn't no longer compared years ago when it was a new news and selling like hotcakes. If you're an optimistic guy and enthusiast about adoption, you'd just welcome it whether they'd be back or not. Because with Tesla investing on BTC before and it was published, the market shoot and skyrocketed no doubt. But what's the bigger take of the market and community nowadays, are the financial institutions getting their space through BTC spot ETFs.

You have your answer mate and that is given and that is Online casino because the vote
stands 35-1 and that means there is only one from here that hyper focus in physical casino lol.
Don't rely too much with the poll because there are other gamblers that are focused with physical casinos but don't vote in the poll.
Many of us are both gambling physically and in online and we preferred both of it based on the experience that we have.

but comparing the hours given when in each casino? of course I spend  more in physical casino
you know why? because of free drinks that we shared by friends while losing our money haha.
Those complimentary drinks. They are also a good incentive if you're going to visit the physical casinos than of the online. But in online, they also have a complimentary but not a drink but bonuses and promos depending on which level your account is or how much you have wagered already on them. There's always the thought that when we gambler whether online or physical, there's the big tendenct that we'd lose money and that's not new to most of us.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: May 20, 2024, 11:53:30 AM
But I don't think that a gambler will want to quit for entirety because no matter what reason we have, we'd still be back and try to chase losses and to win some as well.

That's the fact. There are some gamblers, who no matter how hard they try, get back to chasing losses even after they have already lost more than their budget.
Expecting such gamblers to quit after some time is hard. Quitting gambling at the right time needs strong will and discipline.
That's given and we understand each other with this stand. Even if we try hard to get out of gambling, the time is going to come that will urge us to gamble again and be back at it again. No matter what is the reason for your comeback, it starts from our roots that the crave to gamble won't be gone. While I believe that there are gamblers that have a strong will to quit

A person who follows his rules is the one who can control emotions and make the right decisions whether it be related to gambling or any other thing for that fact.
I agree, there are gamblers that are firm with their decisions and they can do what they want to do. It just comes gradually for the most that are strong willed gamblers and wanting to quit. But not everyone can go through easily with it because for those that don't still know when to stop, they need to find themselves and what they like to do because if they won't do that, they'll continue to fall to their own addiction and fault.
24  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your slices Luck that would have made you millionaire in gambling? on: May 20, 2024, 10:44:45 AM
Refund and potential win/profit is different. Maybe someone might misunderstood your terms if you're going to use it as is because they're different. And as always, we've got these religious folks that are also praying for their bets to win. It's not different at all from the hypocrite that we see that criticizes other and yet, they also pray. What I am pointing out is in religion, gambling is said to be a negative thing. And about yourself and your friend, don't compare your luck to any of them because you have a different approach and luck, chances.

Your friend might be true that he became millionaire but you know what, in reality, it's very rare to see people become millionaire in gambling unless they're already millionaire and bet with huge amounts. There are instances that gamblers win on a lottery that allows them to win big so, that hope of being millionaire through gambling, give it up and do something meaningful where there is more assurance of reaching your dreams and goals of becoming one.

That's not just all about gambling addiction but also being them as a person. There are different personalities for each of us and the way we tackle with gambling. If someone can't afford to gamble, you better stop it and be content with what you have. Stick to your budget plans when you gamble and don't be too hectic to yourself because you're only giving a problem to yourself.

Those that have been gambling all day long but they can't stand with that because they think that they'd either take a loan to anyone they know or the bank or will sell stuff, they're on a different level of gambling addiction.

Never gamble when you're going to take a loan and that will be used as your bankroll. It's never been a good idea to do that and from that kind of approach, it only tells you what kind of person and gambler you are.
It only proves that some gamblers do not have self-discipline. Discipline plays a vital role in gambling, if you don’t have that, expect that you will not grow your money in the long run but will only lose all your hard-earned funds while anticipating that despite of your losses, you are still gonna make it big in the end, which only rare to happen and which only happen to those extra lucky gamblers indeed.
I don't think that some but many and they're not documented and that's why we don't see them that much. But every time a random gambler comes out and start to make a thread about his random decisions as he gambles, you'd see the story starts with how they've borrowed money for them to gamble.

Betting with a borrowed money is never a good start already, once you lose, you will end up losing them all. But if you bet with your own spare money, and bet with an amount you can afford to lose, you might still lose them all in the end but the process is actually not in pain, but more of joy and entertaining.
And not that you are only going to lose them but you are also needed to pay for the interest. If you don't oblige then that's two way for you, you lose the money and you also lose the trust from the lender if ever you've taken that as a personal loan from a person you know. Or even in the banks and you just made up a reason why you need that money.

Antimage is always been a good counter to Void and also Void is a good one against Antimage but if it's with the late game, Antimage has got the advantage since it won't just be a 1 v 1 game as it's still a team play. I think the mistake that XG did there is when they've bought back and still continue to clash when they've seen they're being teared 1 by 1. That's the mistake that they did but still a good match after all, when Team Spirit needs some money, they'll just go with the bigger prize pots tournament like this one and too bad that they are not a participant for this upcoming DL. However, XG is there.
TBH, the Faceless Void pick was good for XG, but XG lost the laning phase so hard that it made the game easier for Team Spirit, and they got to hit their item timings much faster. That buyback from XG during the rosh pit fight almost paid off after catching AM off guard near the ancient camp and forced a few buybacks from Team Spirit. Unfortunately, their SD was quick with the disruption save and it all fell apart from there.
Team Spirit did knew that they're on advantage by that time because they still have buy backs and Antimage has got the aegis, whilst for the XG. Their Void just bought back and if ever they kill him, that's the last clash and it did right. That save from mira really was paid off and boom, one mana void did it all for void.

I don't think that they'll ever disband at this moment, they've got the connection and they've won 2 TIs already but one with TorontoTokyo and with Larl. But the 4 remains intact and I think that the bond that they have made with their connection is hard to disband. So, before this year ends, we'll still have the next TI so I think that who knows if they make another history of winning 3 times in TI? Possible.
I also have the same thoughts, i'd be surprised if they suddenly decide to disband the team, and I can't imagine who can fill those roles better than their current players.
Their chemistry is different and they don't have language barrier and that's one requirement for a team to thrive when they have no communication and it's plus for them that they all speak Russian.



Going on with the Dream League Season 23 in a few hours. XG don't have that much rest and they're going to be with the first match against Aurora Esports. So we're again back to the group stages for this tournament. Here is the schedule for today, both group A and B, too many games today.

27  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Don't get it twisted on: May 19, 2024, 11:39:58 PM
People from US or not shouldn't think that whoever wins the presidency will focus on crypto crackdown. There is so much to deal with on their post when they are on their offices. What we typically see from the feedback or news that we're reading are coming from someone who works for them. So, it's not that they really know what crypto is or things about it. If some statement says that they're going to tax crypto, it is the body of the government that does it and not the POTUS.

So, it won't matter whoever wins there and this is the debate if it's about political. You should be prepared to lose your friend if you want to defend your political stand but if it's going to be crypto-wise, it doesn't really matter at all because whether there will be policies made against or in favor, the entire market will continue to circulate and work on itself whoever is on the position.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your experience using web3 wallets? on: May 19, 2024, 11:20:29 PM
They are the same just any other wallets, it just became fancy because there's a tag "web3". There is no big difference from the usual wallets that we use as common as the "multicurrency" wallets so nothing special about it. I think if you want to see the difference in description, I guess that it is because it's been used today with the airdrops and you'd get to feed that wallet of yours with fees that you should be prepared for. So, that's what comes to my mind upon using them and that's why I stick back to the common wallets that I use. And as suggested, move this thread probably on the Service Discussion for altcoins.

Once again Spirit proved to be the kryptonite of Ame no matter in what team he is playing right ? because he actually tried everything today to beat spirit but Yatoro was in godly form and last night I've actually watched him played Void against Wattson ( nr1 in mmr across the world ) and the game ended before 30 minutes with a stunning victory so I knew that once he picked Void against Xtreme today , the game and series was over and Team Spirit will win PGL Wallachia Season 1.
Antimage is always been a good counter to Void and also Void is a good one against Antimage but if it's with the late game, Antimage has got the advantage since it won't just be a 1 v 1 game as it's still a team play.

However, XG is there.

The event was in Bucharest but unfortunately I couldn't attend to go and ask for a photo outside with this legendary team as I'm afraid this team won't be together by the end of this year but this are just rumors for now.  Sad

I have read this topic before from a different OP, the comments of other people described affiliate marketing as no easy task. Before you can start monetizing your affiliate network, you need to learn from other successful markets, learn how to and where to search for customer, you will also learn how to run ads for yourself and you will also pay people to run ads for you based on the traffic they get on their content.
That's right, affiliate marketing is hard. If you have already a brand or you have established already your social media presence, everything is easy. But if you're starting from zero, having no influence and you don't know where to start, it will take you a year or more but things can be lessen if you work hard and you've got a strategy to become famous easily. That's how social media works nowadays, you can be a star overnight and be successful.

It is not an easy task and you can not start monetizing as soon as you start.
And that is why you need to build your contents, blogs, vlogs, social media presence, network and as much as anything that you can. Because if you're going to do it on your own, you need to strategize it or get some tips from the established ones. And don't be surprised with the same thing that they're going to say.

It is about not going to be an easy thing and they all started from the bottom. But with that, they'll tell you to enjoy the process as that's the sweetest hardship that you can ever be.

It is never been a good idea nor advisable to take a loan to supply your gambling activities, especially if you have no back-up resources to fall back into. I can understand for some gamblers here who are taking the route of loaning some money to gamble, because they know they can respect their financial arrangements.
Even so, there are gamblers that still does it and they think that they can get away with it easily. But they don't know the word "debt trap" and if it's associated with gambling, the effect of it gets harder. Those gamblers that can stay as much as they can are probably rich and have other resources just as you have said and those that don't have but sticking to the plans of loaning, they'll end up miserable because that's the effect that they will receive as a consequence to their wrong decision making.

But for some, who have no financial capability other than the supposedly loaned amount, better not stake it in gambling. Just use it to worthwhile aspect of your life.
Do not loan if you have no capability of paying it. That's another problem for some, they are taking loan even if they have no financial capacity to pay it. They're relying to the chances of luck that they may have and in short, even with such, they're doing the wrong thing because their minds are set and already have a plan if they end up losing.

Why I brought this topic it's because so many people are still paying debt, why? Because they went ahead of borrowing money just to gamble and by the end of the day, they lose it all.

Religion will not teach right and wrong by the hand of any man. You should read the religion and understand it yourself and walk on the right path.
That's actually the opposite, they're teaching what they think is right and it is passed on to the new generations. That's why if you're into a religion and it doesn't teach you good, maybe you are in the wrong one. But wait, that's where the debate starts when everyone is calling their religion the right ones. And those that are bad and does bad things to the others, they can be both, religious or not.

It's not with religion when someone does bad things. I believe that it helps people to change but not everyone is willing to change even with their help. That's why it's best for everyone to just believe what you are believing is good and will help you make a better person. Because someone can be religious but you can see that there's no change with their ugly attitudes. And that's why we can't blame it always to the organization or religion that they're part of because in the end, it's still us that does things and whether we're affiliated or not, we're the only one that decides what we do.

Fifty seven minute mark of the game and the clash is so good at the roshan pit when buy backs here and there are out. We're now on the game 5 and no buyback for Ame's Void and XinQ's marci. And they're all dead(XG). Yatoro's antimage has always been so good, this seems to be his best hero and if he's the playing it and you finally get to the late game and with this minute mark, you definitely going to see how hard it is to kill.

Congratulations to Team Spirit for winning the PGL Wallachia Season 1 as the grand finals champion, winning 3-2 standing against Xtreme Gaming. What a nice game, this is the kind of Dota that we all want and Team Spirit is always like this when prize pool is quite big.  Tongue
Prize;
$300,000 for Team Spirit
$175,000 for Xtreme Gaming.

We will have a rest in less than a day and we'll start with the DreamLeague Season 23.

Gambling is like a periodic table when you choose to stop to gamble is best time for you so I've not seen the reason why we should have a specific day or time to stop gambling that's something that will make you to stop participating in gambling so I don't know why some persons will you say that we have a particular time that will make you to stop a gambling
It's because different things might work for us. If some gamblers have specific time for them to stop in gambling then that's what works for them and I'd advise to them to keep on going on if they've got a time to quit and not. Because if it doesn't work for them and they want to find a way to quit gambling, they'd choose to do anything that they can for themselves just to stop. But not that works for others can work for us, and that's why I've said that it's different for everybody.

And we have to recognize what works for us and what shall be better that can help us to stop or even quit entirely. But I don't think that a gambler will want to quit for entirety because no matter what reason we have, we'd still be back and try to chase losses and to win some as well.

Both strong team but I think this is going to be Team Falcons that shall go to the grand finals against Xtreme Gaming but I hope that I am right, it's been so long since we've seen Team Spirit goes back to the grand finals after winning TI.
Before they took out G2.IG earlier, I also thought Team Falcons initially had the edge, but after that win, it could go either way.
Alright, I was wrong but honestly it should be "I hope I am wrong". Nonetheless, Team Spirit is back at the finals and it was exhausting match against Team Falcons for the 3rd map. The match is about to start in a few and we're now in the grand finals folks, where are the fans of Xtreme Gaming here? or where are the fans of Team Spirit here? To be honest, I don't want to choose any of them, I'll just enjoy this best of 5 match at the grand finals. So let me introduce the grand finals for this PGL Wallachia Season 1;

  • Team Spirit versus Xtreme Gaming

Choose your poison guys, this is going to be a long grand finals IMHO. And since this is a Season 1 for PGL Wallachia, we might seen a season 2 and so on soon.

These kind of stories aren't new. It's just sad that their gambling addiction had brought them this far that they're willing to sell their dignity because they can't control no longer their addiction and emotion towards it. And that's why even they are aware that it's not their money, they're going to use it and willing to use it and take the consequences later that they're not going to like. It is a criminal offense if you're in an organization and this is considered as stealing, the accused might be lucky if the companies or people that they've stolen those money won't file a case against them.

But most of them will say, "they need to learn a lesson the hard way". And we can't blame them for having that mindset because it's pestering them and their business for doing so. That's why if you are feeling that you can't stop your addiction or you can't control yourself towards gambling. It is best for you to start contemplating with your actions because the impact of it might be a life changing result for your life in a negative way that you'll regret later on.

Trading is actually not for everyone, and trying with demo account can give you an idea of it it is for you or not without you loosing money in the process of discovery.
Right, trading isn't for everyone and those that can't take risk and accept to lose money when they start to trade. They're going to lose that much money on it. So, exchanges having the free accounts or demo accounts is a big thing for those that don't want to trade with real money yet. That is giving them the option to trade and test their strategies without having to burn their money.

It can be an indication that trading is not for you if you are finding it really difficult to understand the basics of how it works. But before you come to this conclusion, make sure that you have tried your best to understand trading and the dynamics, do not just quit trying to learn and understand at the first attempt.
If someone realizes that trading isn't for them, they have to recognize that as soon as possible for them to have no troubles at all. Because if they try hard and they're going to set aside their feelings, they'll save themselves from losing a lot of money. But no one is going to stop them from trying because trading is for everyone and everybody deserves to test themselves if they are for it or not.

Instead of being an investor with profit sharing, I tend to maximize my money by investing in businesses and assets in my own name.
There's a different approach being a profit sharer investor type and also being an owner of your own business. I prefer the latter but if I've got some friends or connection that has a trustworthy name on their own game of their business and offers something like this for profit sharing. I'll check first the legality of it before doing a deal and partnership with them. It's being an angel investor and you're also helping them to collect pool of funds for their business expansion or whatever business related use of that money.

I focus on investing in bitcoin and several other crypto assets, this gives me more returns than being an investor in other people's businesses. But of course it's good if we have both at the same time, that means you will have more sources of income.
If you are a business owner, you definitely have the blood of being an investor as well. So, aside from doing stuff from your business. You also have to do things that are more of your passion and likes like investing in crypto assets. We all want to get a better life and that's why we're investing to anything that we think that's going to be worth it someday and not just to dependents of ours as we also try to teach them what we've discovered and learned from investing.
