2041  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Liechtenstein is considering to accept bitcoin for government payments on: May 09, 2023, 09:51:57 PM
That's what others should be considering if it's about accepting Bitcoin as payments for their government payments and obligations.

They don't have to hold it and be wary about its volatility but they can convert that quickly by using such third party service that they are aware of.

It's just a matter of choice for them on which service they're going to use for them to have this adopted by most of their citizens. This acceptance is about maximizing most of the payment systems and methods that their citizens might know.

It seems we are going to have to wait for some more time before bitcoin hits 40k, bitcoin is not even able to surpass 30k and now we are facing a small negative movement, and if we add the current attack on the network which is making it incredibly busy then I do not think there is much room for the price of bitcoin to reach those levels so soon, however I could always be wrong as bitcoin does not really seems to follow common sense when it is experiencing a period of high volatility.
This is okay.

These movements are just temporary and it's better to see it fall a bit before it proceeds to the price that we're expecting to be hit. It will just be a matter of time until we see $40k again.

But if that's your target, it's not that far at all while many are aiming for a higher price and that's $100k which is we don't know if by next year or by 2025 will be the time it's gonna reach it.

Once this network attack is done, we might see the influx of transactions again but hopefully it won't be like this again.

Well, it's different for me because I think when they've pull that IO + WD strat then I have thought that there could be something else from them that shall bring GG down. But in the end, there was none and it was all disappointment, positive disappointment since I'm not cheering for GG but acknowledges their strength and their run for the past majors and tournaments.

It's like GG has broken Dota 2 on this patch and they're at the best. I'm thinking that icefrog will make some changes or updates before TI12 and this is going to make everyone adjust as well.
Actually all of them needs to have that adjustment specially on this recent big patch on Dota 2 which lots of skills changes and specially with a bigger map plus the skills and nerfing some items.
As for GG then i do agree about being the best which they do blend out well on this current patch which you could really see that team work plus the executions and other some combos
which you could really be able to see it flawlessly.
Yes, all of them have adjusted and are still on the phase of learning and adjusting from this patch even after the Berlin major.

For sure there would be some changes or upcoming patches into something which is broken. I dont know if that Beastmaster Aghs or shard (drum skill) had already been fixed?
There are counters on it and one of them is to have the item of urn or spirit vessel. These items have the good effects of countering BM's aghanims scepter skill.

Also heroes like Apparition is one of the best counters for BM that has an aghs scepter.

Who has officially canceled covid, I think this is a big turnover of money in healthcare, but there are many indicators that a new pandemic is possible. To what extent does this correspond to reality, measles is also multiplying, will the world be covered by new diseases on a large scale? Or is it an economic process?
Well, health care is always been a lucrative industry whether there's covid or none. The industry has always been too active and huge sums of money coming in.

Look at how it's managed because of the pensioners that always need to get some check up and their health care needs. And it's possible to have another pandemic but hopefully none will come again until our lifetime.

They've said that these health emergencies are always been attached to economy. You see that when there's hit even it's an endemic, too many businesses are halted for their operations.

That's like easy $30 for the seller. These can be faked or real but those that have been selling them have no obligation to say if they're real or not but of course they'll say that they're all legit.

Those that will buy it are probably thinking of something but then will end up with nothing. So, a scammer will scam another scammer so that's the cycle that will make them scratch their head that what they do unto others have been done onto them.

Whoever buys it have to think if they're able to use it because of different identities.

I've watched that WD + IO combo, it sucks when they've done it as an enemy. I'd really feel sucks against that duo. I am feeling that they'll use that line up again for this grand finals.

The first game is still on going and it's a close fight for both teams. This is the grand finals and both teams are going to be careful with their moves and decision making.

Team Liquid was not able to have their revenge against Gaimin Gladiators, instead, they were stamped and lose on a gentleman sweep. I am not expecting Team Liquid to pull the same strat on GG since GG is very good on stalling games until their core becomes online. That io-wd combo is only good for the early games and will have a hard time when the games goes to late game. They will have nothing to answer the other team once the anti-heal items get online. I was not expecting it to come out again on the game. But I was expecting some strategy that is specifically tailored against GG and their strats but Team Liquid was not able to pull it. All their games are rather too quick.

Anyway, Congratulations to Gaimin Gladiators for winning the Berlin Major. They continue to dominate the game.

so people who want to invest in Bitcoin should be careful and think about the risks and rewards before doing anything because the Bull market may be in trouble.BTC
Actually in every investment, an investor should be careful and take note of all of those risks because they don't come handy.

I don't understand what does it mean for the bull market to have in trouble. Whether there's a bull market or none, as long as your approach to your investments are great such in Bitcoin.

Then, you're doing the right thing on how to handle your assets and as well as your emotions and that's how you should take oneself into taking accountable of.
2048  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: High transaction fees and businesses that accept bitcoins. on: May 08, 2023, 06:56:11 PM
This season where transaction fees are really high can be a discouragement for people who were already becoming used to making payments in bitcoins at their local stores that accept payments in bitcoins. For people who have businesses that accept payments in bitcoins, how are you coping at this time when transaction fees are really high, and what adjustments have you made to try to see that people do not totally cancel out making payments in bitcoins due to this challenge.
They always have the choice to use bitcoin lightning as a choice but it's not that many of them knows about LN.

There are still some alternatives that these businesses can accept if the fees for Bitcoin isn't willingly accepted by their customers to get paid with.

Other than that, they have no choice but to set some fees for their customers and let them alone wait until it's confirmed in the network. Although for businesses and customers this is a hassle choice to make.

It may create some situations that can help a learner into the actual situation. But being in the actual could also change the situation and the student may think of better or worst things.

If it's a course that's about entrepreneurship, I believe that the great things won't be learned in school about this skill. Learning on your own by making your own business will be the one to teach a lot of lessons not just in business but also in life.

4. MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

👉Entrepreneurs seek to solve problems, meet needs, and ease pain points with the help of their products and services. They are hard-wired to make a difference and make the world a better place.

👉By participating in entrepreneurship programs, students don’t just become ready to create their own futures — they become ready to change the world.
This is true but not all of them are for problem solving and innovation. Some of them are just for mere profit and not really for entrepreneurship.

Haha! I was talking about Dota 2 and yours was League, well then it's the opposite that's happening now as well with Dota 2 - Berlin major.
oh man, this is really interesting  Cheesy I'll probably pay closer attention to what we're about to say in the future to avoid confusion, but it's really interesting considering both teams are in two different leagues. That's great  Cheesy
So GG won in Dota 2, and they're going to win in LOL Cheesy oh my guess  Roll Eyes
It's okay mate, it's just a misunderstanding since we both love esports.  Grin

GG is truly making rounds for both esports, league and dota 2 and that's history for them.

Now, it's going to be GG vs. Team Liquid and this best of 5 game will start in less than an hour.

Team Liquid pulling a pocket strat on an elimination game. They must feel really confident in that strategy to pull it on an elimination game. And no one would expect a witch doctor in position 3. The top lane was basically 2 support heroes. But behold, it worked. They hit their timings and finished the game within 20 minutes. 9 Pandas have no answer to all that healing coming from io and witch doctor.

Props to 9Pandas for reaching the Lower Bracket finals. They introduced a lot of meta to this new map, especially the bounty hunter strat. I enjoyed watching strat.

Up next, Team Liquid vs Gaimin Gladiator. I will go to Team Liquid this time. It is a rematch of Lima Major and I think they will have their revenge for their loss in the Lima Major finals. Hopefully, this will be a full series and goes all the way to 5 maps.
I've watched that WD + IO combo, it sucks when they've done it as an enemy. I'd really feel sucks against that duo. I am feeling that they'll use that line up again for this grand finals.

The first game is still on going and it's a close fight for both teams. This is the grand finals and both teams are going to be careful with their moves and decision making.

Even with older patch, GG has dominated the other majors like Lima and then they're still showing no difference from that. Whoever wins the match on the lower bracket, I'm more convinced that it's going to be Team Liquid and GG on the grand finals.
Personally, I think that GG is not a good team to play, their form is not worth mentioning when in the last season, they had a very difficult journey to get there with MSI, a lot of defeats at the beginning of the season, they only ranked 6th after the regional group stage. I know, now is not the time to look at the past, but GG's recent matches have not shown that they are a strong enough team to beat PSG.

I'll bet a ticket on PSG's victory
Well, I'm not sure if you're following the Dota 2 Berlin majors because PSG is no longer there and it's just three team left and then now, it's just two and it's the grand finals. GG is now at the grand finals while PSG.LGD was already out of the tournament @ 9th-12th place.

And if you think that GG isn't performing well with their recent matches, I think that you should review their matches during the group stages and on the playoffs.

Their playoffs record is 6-0.

Now, it's going to be GG vs. Team Liquid and this best of 5 game will start in less than an hour.

oh, I think you are misunderstanding about it. We're talking about League of Legends and the MSI tournament being held, the matchups are ongoing and we are commenting on the victory of GG and PSG, the sad thing is that it's not what I expected. GG is leading 2-0. I am very surprised with this result. I am very surprised with this result, but it is BO5, wait and see if there are any other surprises  Roll Eyes
Haha! I was talking about Dota 2 and yours was League, well then it's a complete misunderstanding as I'm now watching Dota 2 - Berlin major.

Anyway good luck for both tournaments and our favorites.

9Pandas and Gaimin Gladitors are secured to take 3rd place, win or lose with the prize of $75,000 and 400 dpc points.

Gaimin Gladiators are waiting now for the Grand Finals. They secured their slot by sweeping 9Pandas in their Upper Bracket Finals series. It is always a delight to watch Gaimin Gladiators play. They are always on point and are very discipline in their game.

9Pandas will be waiting in the Lower Bracket Finals. They will face whoever who will win between EG and Team Liquid.
Good job and well done for the GG, I've watched the first game and 9pandas was actually dominating it and then everything has turned around. GG is like the new Tundra and the new OG.

Even with older patch, GG has dominated the other majors like Lima and then they're still showing no difference from that. Whoever wins the match on the lower bracket, I'm more convinced that it's going to be Team Liquid and GG on the grand finals.

Anyway, EG and Team Liquid was done, Team Liquid has won.
2053  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A nob in trading needs help on: May 06, 2023, 03:03:45 PM
But at this point, I will really like to know whether or not Bitcoin trading is a means to gain profits during market speculations, and how possible it is to make passive income through cryptocurrency trading.

HODL is a passive way of investing on Bitcoin. But if you don't like that, then by means of having passive income is you'll need to put that on a wallet or exchange that will give you profit in form of APY.

I don't like to have it on exchanges because their rates are low and you're not sure of the safety of your Bitcoin there because you will not have the private keys.

Trading is hard, and that's an honest opinion for me and not everyone that trades are profiting from it.

Very timely that I've seen this thread. Actually, someone has approached me if he should do this type of content just for being informative like the basic things that people should know about Bitcoin.

I said yes, if he's got a lot of time and can dedicate much effort on it he should start making contents that are graphical and videos type for easier engagement and education to the audience.

So that TikTok video, can be spreaded into other social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and others.

I think ex-Hellraisers didn't compete in the ESL One Berlin Major 2023 but maybe if they do they could give Tundra a beating I think ex-Hellraisers' last competition was on the Dreamleague Season-19 one where they don't win a match at all, it was a shocking defeat so for me Gaimin Gladiator was a beast winning most of their matches in the One Berlin Major, the only one that give Glagiator a hardtime was 9 Pandas, BetBoom, and Evil Geniuses, So Let's what strategy they will do on their game today against 9 Pandas
The ex HR squad is still competing in the major though but now they're under 9Pandas.
That's right, ex-HR is now 9pandas and good thing that this org have adopted them and sponsored them going to Berlin major. Now, they're waiting for the next game while the current match being played on is with EG vs OG.

Their match is being waited by many that's following the conflict between GG's mid and 9panda's carry.

Also, it shows how a new patch can easily change a team as the DreamLeague group stages were played on the previous patch and 9Pandas are competing without their team captain.
This is true, while Rodjer has been a teammate before during their Virtus.Pro days, their adjustment wasn't that much and they're able to play easily.

9Pandas and Gaimin Gladitors are secured to take 3rd place, win or lose with the prize of $75,000 and 400 dpc points.
2056  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: What is the most that governments can do if they decide to regulate wallets? on: May 05, 2023, 11:43:46 PM
All they need is a crypto education which isn't taught in their normal 7-8 hr school times lol.
They prolly have some idea on it but they don't want to dip deeper on it because they might don't like the actual fact that they'll know.

I don't think they find it hard to understand about bitcoin. The problem is that they understand it very well and don't know what to do with it, that's why they sometimes make silly mistakes like the one we discuss here.
Right on, they are aware of it and for sure that they've got someone assigned on it to start knowing that ins and outs of it. And by knowing even a bit of that info, they don't want to go further because it comes against their actual purpose in the society.

Or are all these solutions useless
I'd say that no matter what restriction they put in, everyone who's inclined on it will definitely find a way to avoid these regulations and that's why the governments are stopping by on the phase when it's profit-taking, taxes, etc.

They truly gonna milk money out of those people that might think they're genuine projects.

While those people that will advertise it through bounties might think that it's gonna be a profitable project and their efforts will be worth it but for sure it won't be.
2058  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I have 2 questions that bother me on: May 05, 2023, 07:07:25 PM
Hi everyone,


1/ Who determines the price of a token at launch?
For example, the SUI token cost a few cents in pre-sale and was listed at almost $1.50 on the Binance listing

2/ In your experience, is it a good idea to buy a chip the second it is listed for a profit?

Thanks for clarifying.
1. Whatever is the total amount that they've collected before launching calculated with its supply then that determines its price. But I could be wrong on this one so CMIIW.

2. Well, most of these investors before the launching they all one got big plan and goal and that's to sell and dump it as soon as it's listed on any exchange where it will be headed. That's why, if you're quite late on this one, you may not be able to profit.

But if you've missed the price before the launching and you're probably hyped in by its current situation, you may want to continue observing it before buying.
2059  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Negative influence of bitcoin on: May 05, 2023, 05:44:04 PM
Every good thing has side effects, I believed bitcoin ha play roles of changing lives and improving digital structural economy. But bitcoin also has negative damnation on lives by impoverishing people of their spare resource and income. Today I want point out some negative impact of bitcoin on societies such as:
1. Bitcoin is not easily understood by people with no knowledge of it, at such scam and fraud is high on them.
2. No refund to anyone who incurs loss through keys, seed phase or fraud.
3. Privacy- bad people trying to give bitcoin bad name by faking bitcoin apps and site.
4. Cyber hacking - cyber wizards an fraudsters makes people to loss bitcoin wallets and money.
5. Price vitalities - bitcoin price is unpredictable and nobody as monopoly of the market.
Scammers are everywhere and they're not just taking advantage of bitcoin but also even in the use of fiat, they can be found.

While someone who's enthusiastic about bitcoin don't see bitcoin's volatility is a negative thing to be considered. It is for sure that newbies will think of when you say that it doesn't have a stable price but instead it has got a variance on its price.

Instead of them to try figuring out what Bitcoin is all about, they hope for it to fail.
These are people that knows nothing but want people to see on their misfortune. As a Bitcoin investor, we don't intend to see non-bitcoin investors miss these opportunities.

But them to expect bitcoin to fail, these minds are nothing but crab mentality.
2060  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What's highest amount instant exchanges can be trusted with? on: May 04, 2023, 11:33:01 PM
I can say that it's better to do several small transactions rather than one big one, it ultimately depends on your personal preference and risk tolerance. For example, smaller transactions may be less risky, but they may also be less convenient and potentially more expensive due to transaction fees.
It's gonna give you some sweat for doing some huge transactions through instant swaps, I've never done that before and probably will never have the balls to do it.

Like a couple of hundreds will do but up to more than $500 and to thousands, I'll just do it in the common exchanges that I've got good experiences.

In the other hand, larger transactions may carry more risk but can be more cost-effective and efficient in the long run.
Really differs and read what Loyce said about if it's with bigger transactions, it favors more the usual centralized exchanges for being cheaper.
