Tundra will have a flawless run on the upper bracket until they will meet GG in the upper bracket finals. There's a high chance that they fight in both Upper Bracket finals and the Finals of this tournament. Thunder Awaken and Tundra both 2-1 Betboom so I guess Tundra and TA will have a close fight too. I agree that Nine isnvery strong on this tournament but Pakazs is a very explosive pos 1 and always manage the timing of his items properly.
We'll see later today, I feel like GG's series is close to a toss-up since TSM know how to deal with their playstyle which capitalizes on the neutral creeps and the early phase of the game. Tundra hasn't faced Betboom in the playoffs but they did meet during the groups and ended up going 1-1. With the way their first series went, it'll be a close series and could go all the way to three maps again.

Agreed. I’m undecided on what team to choose even though Tundra and GG is the top 1 during group stage. I’m torn on choosing between over 2.5 map or + 1.5 to under dog team base on the odds. Actually I’m surprise on the result of the matches between bracket system. Betboom eliminate Team Liquid and Beastcoast eliminate Team Spirit is very surprising. I don't understand why this 2 strong teams early exit on majors.
Everything is totally unpredictable even myself do really expect Team Spirit and Team Liquid would really be advancing on further brackets but surprisingly they had been beat up with TSM,Thunter,BB, beastcost
which we know that these names arent something that we are seeing in most events or majors and some of them are just new and some of them are old but not really that active with these kind of
tourneys.Generations do really fly by too fast on where strong teams in the past had been beaten up for newer ones.Expect the unexpected as always.
2202  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bear market every team will pump their own coin on: May 19, 2022, 10:53:38 PM
That could be the strategy for some projects that really want to pump their coins during the bear market. But do you think that they'll be able to sustain that for long? I don't think that they will. Despite they've got large budget to allocate for their own fake pump, they'll be eaten alive by bitcoin's dominance and will eventually send them back to where they are. That's what's going to happen, it's just going to be a temporal pump and still bitcoin shows who's the boss of this market.
One of the things i do have in mind is on that on why teams pump their coins in times of bear times? They do believe that they could hook up newbies to buy their coins whenever they do see that its pumping on a bear market which they could really hook up potential buyers although this kind of act is also risky for the team itself specially if whales would really be having that kind of action in relation to this.
Its true that its not really that sustainable if you do ask me because bitcoin dominance and other top altcoins or established in the market will really be always having that sustain.
2203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Commentary and commentators in sports. on: May 19, 2022, 10:16:37 PM
Football is bored without commentary. Fan watching it with a DStv decoder can't feel sports.  Commentators do the most work, because they talk throughout the duration of the game. For me, I like watching virtually than real life. Commentary will really make a fan to understand the both team formation and their recent news of the team. Most fans enjoyed commentary more than fans chanting and songs. Finals are enjoyable when two great commentators are on duty like Jon Champion and Jim Beglin. Those commentators would make you feel like you are on the pitch with the players.
That kind of emotion do really make things even more great in terms of experience or ambiance when you are watching a particular game where you couldnt really just ignore that having these commentators
is really much preferable rather than watching a game without having one.It would be totally boring to look at and you could really follow at the same time when someone is really elaborating
on whats happening in the field aside on watching it personally and knowing their actions or seeing them.So i do prefer on having one rather than on having none.
2204  Economy / Economics / Re: Where to invest everything looking bearish on: May 19, 2022, 09:48:55 PM
If you are longing for where to drop your reserve money on in cryptocurrency. I suggest bitcoin to be a better investment. The price of bitcoin has dropped reasonable for someone to take a ride because after the bear the bull will come and buying now that the price has dropped half from the ATH, you can hodl for a long time if you have a longtime investment plan.
But not all does have the patience on holding for very long which they do really opt in on buying low cap coins which could potentially give out 2-100x kind like of return.
Yes, if we do tend to play safe or less risky at least then Bitcoin would be the answer but not all people would really be having that kind of temper on waiting up for something.
So on times like this where everything is bearish or in reds which buying situation or decisions will really vary on someones personal choice and preference.
Just bare up the risk so that  you wont really be regretting after that.
2205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 19, 2022, 09:29:30 PM
~snip~

I still believe that Donaire can still defeat Inoue with a right pace and timing.

Same here, if Donaire could time perfectly that counter left hook flush on Inoue's chin, there's a chance that the former will knockout Inoue. Backing Donaire in this fight but I'm not expecting so much as Inoue will also be preparing hard on this fight because he already knows the capability of his opponent as he already tasted that left hook that almost sent him down so expect him to be avoiding those as long as possible.
Executing a perfect counter would be the best thing to be done but how he would really be doing it? For sure Inoue is really fully aware on how Donaire do really get its popularity and name
which is on fast counter speed and execution which is something that he's fully aware of  and cant really just be denied that its really a dangerous one.
For now lets see if Donaire would able to do such thing and for him to be able to win up such fight and possible trilogy would happen.

This idea sounds great and you have indeed blessed humanity. But you must note that interest and passion is key in the quest to attain any personal or collective goal. Please sir, ensure you select only people that have interest and passion for Bitcoin. You can identify them by giving an introductory class after which an oral or written test can be conducted to ascertain the level of interest of the participants. Also, most people in rural or improvised areas lack basic amenities and are relatively poor. Hence, you must come up with a plan on how to assist them in accessing the necessary tools that would help them apply what they have learnt. Smartphones, laptops, solar or power generating sets are necessary equipments that would make this training worthwhile. You are indeed an asset to the world.
How he would able to determine? Its impossible that they wont really be getting interested considering that this do includes possible earning opportunity which every person couldnt really ignore.
This is really a good gesture and at the same time with that commendable charitable kind of work where it do really adds up more exposure on bitcoin or on overall crypto community.
Not only making them learn but also sharing up the possibilities on earning which would really make some big impact into their lives, just be sure though not to make some assurance
about earning money.
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: May 17, 2022, 03:09:13 AM
You just learnt a lifetime lesson. Almost all game players have experience what you went through. The day I went through the same challenge, I cried all day because I used the money that was not mine for gambling and it was devastating. But you know the spirit: the more your loose the greater you stake so that you can recoup what you have lost. Like you rightly said we don't control the system hence we must ensure that we control our emotions and only stake what we can loose comfortably. I am sure that you wouldn't make the same mistake or blunder again. Best wishes.
Correct, if you gamble once in a while then at some point during your life you are going to go through a similar experience, now the difference is how do you face it? Many people learn from this and even if they are sad about their losses they learn to be way more careful with their money not only when they gamble but in every other activity in which you need to manage your money, however there is a minority that is unable to accept their losses and they keep making huge bets trying to recover the money they have lost, learning nothing in the process.
People wont stop if they do still have  funds into their pockets or wallets unless if they are really than intending to lose it all for the leisure that they do seek but in most cases
where people do play more due to chasing of losses and instead of stopping they do even spend even more which is on more than on the amount that they could afford to lose.
If you do value that much your hard earned money then you shouldnt touched up gambling in the first place because high tendency you would really be putting yourself
into trouble if you arent really that mindful in regarding with your actions.
2208  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: He Lost His Investment. See what Happened! on: May 16, 2022, 11:58:49 PM
Instead of giving your full money, doing copy-trade is probably better. The problem is this kind of feature is limited and not supported by most exchanges. But at least you don't risk losing your entire funds.

Never use signal service or trading deals, most of the time they're fake and even if it's legit, it won't last long.
Never trade in the first place if you are not capable to trade. Because if you only rely for other people to do your trades, although you gained profits somehow, but it won't be forever like that. Worst is, those you trusted at first will scam you in the end. Although copy trading is quite better than that, but the fact that you only trade from some other trading strategies, that won't make you a good and reliable trader after all.
You could indeed make money but on the time that those people you have copied with will stop then what would you do? Since you hadnt able to learn on your own then
you would really be seeing this to be a hard situation for you to cope up since you dont really have that skill since you are dependent since from the start
thats why its sensible to learn on your own rather than on depending for the rest of your life.
2209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your epic fail experience in gambling on: May 16, 2022, 11:08:44 PM
My worst nightmare was losing $20k in a day, there was no single bonus in 6k spins on Pragmatic slots. Increasing bet size on each 1000 spins level was not a good idea and I was faced with the harsh reality of gambling after that day, never ever going to chase the losses. I can feel your pain since we have experienced such swings on daily loss streaks, sticking to same bet size and not chasing loss are main points to protect bankroll that can be used another day to play. Epic fails usually happens due to negative house edge, we have to find the zero house edge casino for not going into deep.
Man, that's a huge money that I can't probably reach to use in gambling since I'm the type that won't allow such to happen. There are really people that have more painful experience than the others.
Losing that much in a day was totally a big frustration for sure and there are people that have lost more than yours and still, they're trying to chase those losses that they've made.
Epic fail experience of mine is also the same as everyone's experience of losing money that have won within a week.

I have seen large amounts of bets in one of the known casinos here, and they were wiped out fast.
I was wondering what was the feeling of that gambler, seeing his amount of money just gone in seconds?
But maybe the experience is different for most of us, for example a small roller vs high roller.
Like for example, for us, losing $20k is already too much. But for some, that's just change for them and they can bet it one time.
But as I can say I am a responsible gambler, I don't go to the extent of losing large amount of money in gambling.
So I can't say much about epic fail experience. I lost some but for me, it was not significant because I knew my limitations.
As long you do know your limitations which a gambler should really have then you wont really be putting yourself into a situation on where you do regret because you
dont have money to pull into your pocket which means that if you arent that responsible with your actions and you do let that greed control you then whether you
are average or big time gambler then you would really be ending up that kind of feeling of regret on seeing your money vanish into thin air.
2210  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your expectation on: May 16, 2022, 10:05:44 PM
What I hope is the price of bitcoin can return to the $ 60k level, I bought when rising in November 2021, and waited until now I could not sell because the price continued to decline, and unfortunately today dropped almost 10% and Bitcoin returned to under $ 35k.
The way I'm seeing bitcoin this time the price going below our expectations this year, now bitcoin price is just going down two four seven that means is constantly going down below our expectations of bitcoin in 2022, the price reaching 60 thousand this year is not what i think that can happen, Bitcoin will rise to surprise every one for next year and ending of this year is when it can add small value
The many fears that emerged from investors made the bitcoin price fall, the current bitcoin price has broken all predictions that say bitcoin will be able to reach the price of $100K in 2022, but I personally still believe and hope that bitcoin can get the momentum to can recovery, right now besides we pray for bitcoin to recover soon, I think this is the right time to enter the market for buy bitcoin at low prices and keep it for a long time.
$100k wont really be a smooth sail ride on where some people do really expect for it to be that way where they are expecting that this market would  be always on green or on the good side of things
without even realizing on how it do works or behaves because if you do really expect or hope that much then you would really be just finding yourself to be annoyed because
the price hadnt go on what you do expect thats why expect the unexpected because this is the reality of this market.

Does anyone makes a bet between the match of the OG vs T1? this game is super unexpected to the player who makes a wage between the odds of the 2-0 series bet because the T1 get rekt the one of the TI champions in this event also its not quite good that they bring back ceb but with the position 5 and their offlane comes having hard communication to them imagine Mars position 3 without the Arena also T1.Kuku has a really good draft with the counter to their safe lane and offline so they cant move so much.
T1 are the favorites being the former champions so if they getting rekt early on in their campaign then the odds would be better to take.
From what I recall OG isn't doing that great in the league.
Its doing well somehow in line with BB,Thunder Awaken and TSM and TS in terms of standings. They even sit on higher bracket for the Upper quarterfinals against TSM and if they lose
then they might possibly able to face BOOM esports on the lower bracket.
Im eyeing for Tundra to win this one, they are really very consistent when it comes to their gameplays.
High possibility that Tundra can win this Major as you already point out, They are the most consistent team on this league so far that didn't have any lose on the group stage. They just always choke during bracket finals base on there previous majors tournament run but as betting wise concern. Tundra is a very good pick when it comes to early matches on upper bracket. They are so good on team fight and drafting.
Tundra had already won against Team spirit and they would really be going against with Thunder Awaken on Upper Bracket Semis and whos the winner on that game would really be on the waiting game on
upper bracket final fighting possibly neither the winner T1/GG  and TSM..
Tundra is well expected to have that good execution of plays plus that freaking Nine is too damn good together with that 33.

Did you not read the rest of the topic?  People are getting shafted and you want to get involved because some random on social media is trying to create some hype, presumably to give themselves the opportunity to get out?  Think this through to conclusion, please.

Sir I just posted it here to get advice from experienced guys that whether it's good to invest in LUNA at the moment or not? Previously we have seen many coins coming back to original prices after falling to ground. Still efforts are there to revive LUNA.

Terra is working to revive LUNA. Will it revisit its old glory?
If they wont really be solving out on having that burning mechanism or something like this then its price is nowhere to go but down or completely be dead.As i remember it does have 9 trillion over all
supply which its really that hard to believe that it would continue to have that kind of value, there are even some rumors for some new pegged token which i dont see for it to get some
attention or recognition specially that Luna does have that very unfortunate event on dropping its price to 100%.

2214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1 BTC = 1 BTC. You only lose if you sell. You're buying inflationary fiat. on: May 15, 2022, 11:03:59 PM
Even at this market condition MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor is bullish about the bitcoin price. He has mentioned of bitcoin as a long term investment and he'll continue to buy regardless of the price moves. His company stocks price fell down 45% from the previous week closing at the low of $168. About Dollar, the monetary policy expansion and inflation is a big problem affecting the purchasing power.

Current price action may seem discouraging for crypto investments but believe me, these are the best price to get into crypto. You will not find bitcoin under 30,000$ for long. There will be pain and fud in the market. If you are strong enough not to sell your coins in these panic times, believe me, you will be rewarded huge in the coming future.
Instead on freaking out yourself on these red or bearish times its more ideal if you do consider on having that DCA system as long your finances or budget allocation do permits you.
Not all would really be having the finances for them to make such action even if they wanted to but instead they do hold off their floating negatives until the market recovers.
For those people who had been dealing with this market and does have money to be invested then times like these are really the best one to dive in into the opportunity.
2215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mind Over Matter In Gambling Using Pendulum on: May 15, 2022, 10:26:10 PM
Damn, honestly, I don't know what you are talking about until I read the link you provided.

So this is being superstitious (more like) in gambling which I don't really do.
I believe in my skills and my strategy is very simple, and that is betting against the Public, way more effective than anything.

Anyway, thanks for educating me about that kind of technique, I'm now aware about it.
Pendulum has been used only in the ancient age, so i don't have any idea that its still working up to these days. But just like you, i prefer to believe from my own instinct, my skills and strategies in gambling. And of course, a little bit of luck adds more to how we end up doing good in gambling. However, using pendulum might be very advantage way back then, and that magic nowadays may not be working anymore as everything in gambling purely based on luck and skills.
When it comes to pendulum thing then this is usually in talks or in correlated with some hypnotizing or something in related but i was surprised that its involved on gambling
too which to believe on adding up some good bet calls or being lucky? I dont really believe such thing for it to be effective or really be having that placebo impression.
Let people decide for themselves whether they do really believe for such thing to be that effective or not.
2216  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Experience of using a cryptorobot on: May 15, 2022, 09:28:27 PM
Well, sometimes this topic makes me think of two things, if a cryptorobot is much more beneficial for trading in general, even though I think it is much more profitable to do in the short term because of the ability to react, which must be very fast, at least 100 times faster than the reaction of a human being, or of having a cryptorobot that is for arbitration only? now a lot is being implemented related to AI and I think this is what is moving many people, because if something like this is implemented, the person would have gains, I think this is what they are looking for, but not all cryptobots they are programmed for it.

Usually it would really be for arbitrage but we know that it would really vary on how its been programmed or what are the things be in commanded so it does really vary.
It could act faster than human which is usual but making out immediate back off on your decisions or alteration then you are the ones who could really still able to do
so specially if emotion is been tagged on.This is something these bots do lack but in overall automation then nothing cant beat it but of course it do really
follow on whats been commanded.

Whats' your epic fail experience in gambling?
Let's see your conclusion and re-evaluate your decision making after the epic fail experience.


This had been a classic kind of greedy behavior since you arent really that convinced nor get that contented on what you are earning. Its already that amazing on climbing up your low balance up to 4 BTC
which is something cant be possible for using martingale for very long time.It is really just that you are sort of lucky on the time you had been playing yet you hadnt able to experience
long losing streak with that casual martingale system that you've been using.It is really that a common behavior when you do really find for something more better which you do
believe that it might win even more or good for long term until you do see yourself that been fucked up.
2218  Economy / Economics / Re: Taking loan during high inflation? on: May 14, 2022, 09:31:07 PM
I also don't suggest to do it and that's the actual risk if that's the strategy of other people. I knew wealthy people that have been borrowing money to buy another assets and this is a common style to them and that's making them more wealthy.
But in able for you to do it, you have to make sure that you'll be able to pay the loan + the interest of it and most wealthy people have a lot of sources of income and that's why they're free in doing it. And if you're just an average and minimum wager man, you'll hardly do it.
But there are people who do have that kind of mindset on which they do really believe in that taking risk is really worth if you are really that having those goals on having a good future but since we know
that not all things we've been engaging through would end up to be on positive then you should have back up plans on the time that things doesnt really come on what you are expecting.
Taking loan is never been recommendable specially if you are having some problems in terms of other source of income but if you do have lots of sources
then it wont really be an issue at all.
2219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Rollers on: May 14, 2022, 07:59:34 PM
Everyone can but there's only few gamblers that have actually did it because of mere luck, it's just they need to know and understand that it's not an easy path towards that way and there's a very high chance that you could lose a couple bucks first before you win big time as we always have experienced. But yes, I do a agree that we should have to know our line and when to stop even if it's too tempting already.
The stories of those successful bettors and high rollers, we'll never know how much they've lost along the way. It's great to see them win such amounts and rolls high.
True, they have to control themselves and decide how much they're willing to lose within a day. If it's small for them and big for us, that's not a matter and it's still their money to gamble.

For average gamblers like us, what OP posted will make us envious and wished that we also have those winnings, you only won that amount if you bet a huge amount of money it's rare to see where you start with 2 figures and end up 5 or 6 figures richer, you are on 2 figure you just multiply that figure to 10 and that's the best that you can reach anymore than that you're in extreme luck, they bet huge so they win huge, for all we know the guy just double his amount, and we never know what follows after those bets or figure that we've seen.
It is a wishful thinking and you don't really have to win with those amounts to experience happiness as an average gambler. Yes, that's what we're thinking to win but you know your capacity and you know what gambling is and how long it can extend your journey with the money that you'll allocate as your bankroll. Thus, the results vary and they're all unknown because you can't be sure with the outcome with any games that you play.
Of course most of us wish to have some 5-6 figures of winning in just a day/night doing some gambling activities but that result may vary or differ on people especially if luck is wether on our side or not but you truly have a point, we still need to manage it carefully because the results will likely not our side mostly as the roads we will take is still unknown, it is still a choice. A thrilling gambling experience will be enough for those who know how to manage well.
Who doesnt really like to hit 6-7 digit hit? Of course it would really be needing lots or big capital as well which is understandable.We know that finances will vary on each gambler.
Some could have lots but most of  the time it is really just those average gamblers in terms of  finances or bet size.It is really just good to see and boost up someone whenever
they do see big wins on the history tab then you could really be having that kind of mindset on what if you are on the situation?  Cheesy

In my opinion there is an incredible amount of smart people that hold coins and try to make the bitcoin ecosystem better and better. Those users many times strongly believe that bitcoin is better than fiat money, but not so many of them actually use Bitcoin in everyday payments. It is even a good behavior under bitcoin enthusiasts, to hold Bitcoins and never spend them.
In your opinion, those that use Bitcoin every day as payment are not practicing the good behavior of enthusiasts? I think you're more concerned about profit or the market bullish trend than the beauty of the technology. Besides, if no one uses Bitcoin for payment how would it be considered an innovative payment system and how would business owners know if the best mean of payment for border to border transactions?


Yeah, he's just thinking of profit and not using its beauty. I do agree that we should also use it as a payment system because that is the beauty of it now. It is just an investment, but as you can see, most of the people now talking about bitcoin are about gaining profit from their investment. They are looking at bitcoin as a business that could gain them some money, which is true, but its beauty is not appreciated because we are always talking about money.
There's nothing bad about being after making a profit, no one like making a loss but people needs to understand that Bitcoin was not created by Satoshi just to be only an asset.
According to what I read, it was created to make people "financial freedom" and we google that "it means having the financial cushion (savings, investments, and cash) to afford a certain lifestyle"
Automatically Bitcoin should be used as savings, investments, and cash.

Yep, it wasnt intended for money or profit making but rather on that "financial freedom" thing but it cant really be avoided
that people would be minding on how to make money thats why people wont really be tending to make use nor waste it on something
but instead they do save it out because it does have potential in upcoming future although its not assured but chances
