2361  Economy / Economics / Re: "Greedflation" has gone too far! on: April 14, 2023, 09:40:25 PM
There isn't anything that can stop these guys to make more money. No matter how rich they become, they will still find a need to make more money and to hoard them. The words 'too much' don't mean anything to them so long as they are filling their pockets and vaults. The money also goes around on the top 1% people and companies, and only a portion of that money ever comes down to us mere onlookers and watchers on this chess game that they are having. Add to that, they are being protected by the governments because of the potential crisis they could cause to the industry. Talk about being loved and cared dearly by the powers that be. 
2362  Economy / Economics / Re: Automating your savings will help you save more on: April 14, 2023, 05:16:29 AM
I do auto deductions on my salary that goes straight to a government-managed savings fund that also serves as an investment for me. That savings/investment fund is nearing its maturity, about 4 years left and it will give me a lot of gains just because I decided to do that 3 years ago. Skimping on myself without really selling my needs short and living below my means helped me get the financial freedom that I'm enjoying now. It's a slow and steady process, but if you're really dedicated to saving and investing and not trying to impress other people with your money, you can do it too.

Then again, automated savings are not for everyone, especially those who are still trying to build themselves up before they can get that little wiggle room for their salaries to be put into savings.
2363  Economy / Economics / Re: Without government job we can survive on: April 11, 2023, 11:03:04 PM
Having a business and being employed are two completely different things. The former is a lot riskier but when it works, it pays a lot while the latter may be dependent on the socioeconomic conditions of your area and will be easier to get and achieve compared to the former. It all just depends on your skill set and what you can do to your employer. If you have a lot to offer, most probably you'll get jobs very easily. Not everyone has the business acumen to start creating their own businesses and succeed from there.
2364  Economy / Economics / Re: Advises 'Get Rid of Your US Dollars Now (Economist Peter Schiff) on: April 11, 2023, 01:59:31 PM
Schiff has been preaching this issue for decades and nothing happens. This is because no country or alliance is stable enough, or more stable than the US. Even now when Russia, China, and India want to build their own currency, many are skeptical about the lifespan of the currency (if it's really realized). As the wise man said, "Partnership is bullshit." So the term "de-dollarisation" may not have the same meaning as Schiff said, well, he's a gold bug Wink It's kind of the same as the centralization issue on BTC. It's beneficial to have more than one strong party and the goal is to have multiple strong parties competing against each other.

That's the thing. Countries will have their time on the economic limelight for a time being and then all of those will die down eventually, leaving nothing for a country but some profits and change but no foothold on the world stage in terms of stability that the US has for a long time. I think part of it also comes from the idea that a lot of countries have looked up to the US and that they cannot really sever their ties with the superpower. So even if other countries have better offers and can come up with better products for a better price, they'd still regard the US in a high value albeit the latter not really doing anything from them apart from just being their ally.

For now, don't get rid of your USD in exchange for gold (or whatever) because of Peter Schiff. It should come from the realization of there's a better alternative (which is currently none).

Yeah, those dollars are still worth something in the world market. You can trade other foreign currencies on the side but never dump your USD just yet.
2365  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: April 11, 2023, 08:30:47 AM
Maybe the right term is: be financially responsible. I still borrow money, though on things that I know will give me positive returns and pay back the capital almost immediately. I do this on credit cards and from banks, but never from people whom I know or I trust. I never have had any problems when it comes to money that I need to have in order to live. I live below my means, and I only spend on what's necessary.

Most financially successful people borrow money to make more money, and that is a thing that I'm starting to learn. I don't borrow for the wrong reasons; I just borrow to make something out of what I don't have in the first place. If you come to a point wherein your finances and expenses are already doing well on their own, you'll have to soon figure out a way to make more money and not be bound by the ideology that borrowing is a bad thing.

I don't think it's a suitable gambling game. You can actually create an AI to do this game for you and it will do the job without any problems at all. Most gambling platforms would surely lose some profit if they put out this game on their list. Plus, what would be the mechanics of how you would win money? Would it be progressive rewards as long as you're in the game? For sure, people will just code AI to beat the game and this will be shut down almost easily.
2367  Economy / Economics / Re: Does People Really Care About Decentralization? on: April 09, 2023, 09:23:07 PM
A lot of people still do, but it's hard to ignore the benefits that centralization is giving to people. I know it will take a while for the movement to mature, but it's something that will get there if people just give it a chance. The main problem that we may have from decentralization is its legality and how regulators will try to shut it down instead of regulating it. There's just a lot of tricky scenarios decentralized platforms pose, and that's what makes it hard to go live. Though there are some decentralized services that didn't really hit it and are left to only just close their business.
2368  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest your money wisely - another lesson, Techie tries to suicide. on: April 09, 2023, 08:57:49 PM
This is why before making an investment, people should really think about it and learn about it before releasing money. If the dude is already in the tech industry and knows about crypto in general, he already knew that there are risks. He just had bad financial management that he never understood the risks. If he did then he'll not put everything in crypto and do some risk management at the least. But yeah, a lot of people in the tech space are generally not good investors so this makes sense in a way.
2369  Economy / Economics / Re: Pranksters got Ch. Lagarde (ECB) to admit Digital Euro will be about tracking on: April 08, 2023, 10:42:18 PM
Pretty sure these people have personal assistants to handle their schedules and talk to each other before they could do this meeting. If they don't then that's a huge problem, because things like these could really happen without them realizing. A good prank, but certainly a dangerous one considering how fast the government operates. This is a dangerous game that they're playing and there's a high possibility that something is already cooking after the incident (if ever it's true).

2371  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance Trouble rises - Australian Regulator Cancels Derivatives License on: April 06, 2023, 11:59:40 PM
Derivatives is just once facet of what Binance is. They are still mainly a cryptocurrency exchange, so if their license for that isn't revoked, they are still pretty much relevant and they wouldn't be that affected by whatever is happening on their other products. It may be a blow, yes, but not that hard of a blow to send Binance to the dust. Though I've noticed that they are receiving a lot of these attacks on them. Must be them not really paying attention to regulations and all that legal stuff.
2372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Champions prediction. on: April 06, 2023, 11:40:40 PM
I'm looking at the Clippers right now and they are doing quite well. I would really bet on them if I followed the season but I'm really clueless as to how things are at the moment. I only watched Clippers defeat Lakers yesterday and Kawhi is on fire. As for GSW, they also look on fire although knowing that this is GSW, I have a lot of questions on their defenses. Most of the people I know are leaning towards Clippers moving into the finals, but I might need to watch a few more games before I could tail that bet and collect a payout (hopefully.)
2373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best time to gamble on: April 04, 2023, 12:01:15 PM
There isn't a best time to gamble. It is subjective and is entirely dependent on what the gambler is feeling. It could be any time as long as the gambler is feeling good and feeling lucky, provided that he has the funds to keep him going and that he will not be using funds that are no longer in his budget. Personally, I would gamble on casinos only on the weekends and bet on my favorite sports whenever they're live. Those are the best times for me to play and no one can tell me otherwise.

You can also say that the best times are during promotions. There are tons of casino promotions here and there that a lot of us gamblers can benefit from. Our money usually has more value during the duration of these promotions and you can take advantage of those for a time being. Make the most out of it and I'm sure
2374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [NEWS] Elizabeth Warren says she’s building an anti-crypto army in new campaign on: April 04, 2023, 01:50:56 AM
Imagine having someone like her running the state which was known for a lot of technological breakthroughs and disruptive tech work. It would be a shame if she wins in the election knowing full well what her in the office would look like. Her bill was technically trying to convey who is behind what in the cryptospace, and was only adorned with legal words that seem pro-people when in fact it wasn't. I wouldn't trust her to represent me in the Senate if I were from Massachusetts, knowing that her programs were focused solely on quashing one movement that didn't do much damage to my state nor its people.

Perhaps if she comes up with a rather convincing reason as to why her bill isn't only to prosecute but also to help flourish, then I might reconsider my choices if I were from Massachusetts, but it seems that it's a non-negotiable to her and she just wants to push her agenda so bad.
2375  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did I can make platform without KYC verification on: April 03, 2023, 11:57:49 PM
I don't think there are still platforms that you can use that require no KYC at all. There are still some platforms that doesn't require KYC on your initial deposit, but over time they will still be requiring you to complete the pre-requisites, otherwise they will be holding your funds and your account hostage until you complete what they need. It's the way how things work nowadays for crypto; most of the services wouldn't allow you to proceed using them unless you complete their KYC.
2376  Economy / Economics / Re: Money as a store of value... on: April 03, 2023, 11:00:53 PM
Use money as a means of trading but never as a store of value. It is one of the easiest asset to be hit by rapid changes and fluctuations in the world market. I wouldn't really rely on it to store the value of my assets. Instead, I'd use that money to buy some other valuable asset that will help me maintain what I have if not help get profit from it. Cryptocurrencies are a good start, and precious stones could be a great addition to the stash if keeping value is your main goal.
2377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: April 03, 2023, 10:12:28 PM
The Berlin major is about to get full, only the last one slot from WEU is being waited on to fill the whole stack of participants. So, the last slot is either going to be taken and will be fighted for by OG and Ooredoo Thunders.

Honestly, majority of us here would like to see OG participate the Berlin major and take that last slot but OT won't just allow that to happen easily and we'll get to see it happen later.

For the list of participating teams, you can see it here guys --> https://liquipedia.net/dota2/ESL_One/Berlin_Major/2023

When Yuragi was interviewed after their win against Entity, he said that they have a good chance to get into Berlin Major. It means that he is confident that they will beat Ooredoo Thunders in their tiebreaker game for the Major slot. There is a reason he is confident though. They easily beat Ooredoo in their first match on this tour. There is no reason they will be beaten unless they slack off and failed to prepare for the series against Ooredoo.

I think I will risk again on OG but I will check the odds first. If it is good, I will put a good amount for OG to win.
Ooredoo Thunders was great on their match but sadly, they'll be the one who won't be getting the slot.

Congratulations to OG, the game 3 was intense and it's a comeback. I thought that OT was going to get that game and it was looked that they're winning the game. With the line up of OG, it's hard to see them win that match anyway.

But then, those crucial moments made them capitalized the win and turn the favor on them. That smoke at the top near Radiant's first tower, that actually was the turning over moment for OG.

The set of teams for the Berlin major is now complete!

OG is slowly turning the tides on their favor. All it took was a threat for them to be relegated to Div 2 before they perform really well. They have a lot of things that they did well on this match that they could do on their next games. Hopefully their match against Ooredoo improved their insights on how they should approach their games. That patience and untiltable attitude is what they need.
2378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 03, 2023, 08:35:49 PM
One thing you should know is that these casinos will always have the budget. They will always have something to fund these promotions that are coming on their platforms. If not, then they do have some serious problems on their finances. If the members of the casino are still receiving their payouts on time on top of the promotions, then that is a platform that I can trust––on their finances at least. There is a limit on my trust though, and the moment that I haven't receive the bonus or my payout, that's when I'll dip.
2379  Economy / Economics / Re: Money hardly come this days! Why? on: April 02, 2023, 11:59:15 PM
Not having a job means no income stream. Perhaps it's time for you to get one and work for the money.or, if you have a job and it's not paying well, learn a skill or two and try to apply for that job that pays better. We all have it hard nowadays (except the ultra rich) but that doesn't mean the opportunity isn't there. We just have to widen our perspective and look for ways to make money, otherwise we'll always end up complaining that money isn't there to be made.
2380  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A crypto world without CEXs...How would it be? on: April 02, 2023, 11:28:30 PM
CEXs handle most of the market volume in the world. Without them, I don't think it's possible that we'll see huge market movements and huge price increases in crypto. That's the only reason I see why CEXs couldn't go away. People have been so dependent on them for their crypto trading shenanigans that the second it goes away, they won't know what to do with their bags anymore. Apart from that, no other bad thing might happen the way I see it, just that the prices would tumble because there isn't a market maker that facilitates and pools all the inputs and outputs from traders around the world.
