Too bad this did not pan out; Heroic is just too much for the current NAVI right now. I am also quite rooting for Navi to win or at least push the series into the 3rd map, but they lost with their map pick and Heroic is just too strong with theirs, Mirage. Yeah NaVi simply got outclassed by Heroic in that match. Even from the first map I feel that they're not gonna win, Heroic just play so much better. I still think they really need a proper IGL like Boombl4. Electronic is doing so much more as a player. I would like to see -npl +Boombl4 to make NaVi great again  Current world top 1 and top 2 tomorrow. I'll place my bets on G2 that's for sure.
Oh, this will be tough. Both teams are peaking right now. Monesy has improved a lot. I thought he was good late last year, but he is even better now. I think this will all depend on the map picks and their IGL. I am betting this will go the distance so I will play it safe and bet on total maps. G2 on 19 maps win streak and has not lose a single map in 2023 so far. They are the clear favorites here. Anyway, looking at Heroic's performance yesterday, I think 2.8 is a good odds for them. Agree with you, I'm sure at least they can put up a good fight against G2 and won't get 3-0'ed on the BO5.  |

The main reason is value stability as Tether is pegged to USD. Bitcoin, on the other hand, can be very volatile even in short period of time. Some people, especially businesses, prefer that stability over the risk of funds being frozen.

I would say Aave, Compound, and Maker (Oasis) are the best platform for decentralized lending. They are the OG lending protocol in Ethereum, has been running for years with billions in TVL. This is as safe as you can get in dApp space.
Note that since we're in a bear market and DeFi isn't as hot as it is back in 2020-2021, the interest rate for stable lending is not attractive at all right now, mostly within 1-2% APY. Considering the risk of holding stablecoins and smart contract risk of these platforms, I would say the return is really not worth it. You're better off buying BTC or ETH directly at this prices, store them safely, and sell later when the prices go up.

Just saw that. So this isn't ban on staking really, it's ban on centralized third party services like exchanges used for staking?
While this will bring prices down, this could actually be good for decentralization. People would need to run their own nodes if staking as a service is not an option anymore.
Will this affect on staking services like Lido DAO as it isn't maintaining eth infrastructure either or are they too decentralised for control?
Yeah for now it's just a ban on centralized staking, like Kraken and Coinbase did. It doesn't affect liquid staking service like Lido and solo staking for now, but who knows. It's unlikely but the SEC might be going for them too in the future. In fact, the market is taking this as a good news for liquid staking tokens (e.g. LDO, RPL). This news, along with the upcoming Shanghai update, was the catalyst for the brief pump a few days ago although most of the upside has been retraced now. |

2/2 on this.
That first map comeback from Team Liquid was amazing, I thought it's going to be a 2-0 for them but Vitality bounced back on their map pick with ease. The third map was a bit back and forth in the early rounds but Team Liquid manage to slightly pull away in the T side and closed the series in the mid to late of the second half. This should've been a win for Vitality if only they didn't underperform but well played to Team Liquid on making it this far and at least their odds on G2 aren't bad as I expected. Yeah that comeback on Overpass was legendary. HLTV even said that this is the first time a team able to recover from a 0-12 deficit on Overpass on LAN. What an amazing performance. But still, I wouldn't bet against G2 on the semis. I'm just going to continue rooting for NaVi. This would be a long shot, they're not the favourite to win the match. But if S1mple is showing his A+ game again, they might be able to beat Heroic.  |

Missed the first two games for today. I'll just put a parlay on G2 and FaZe. This should be a realtively safe bet.
Liquid made me lose the parlay, so now I'm going to bet on them on the quarter finals. Not entirely confident on this but seems like a good odds for Liquid. Also rooting for Navi on the other match.  |

Let's stop spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) in the crypto world and start trading the FUD Token (FTX Users' Debt). It is a symbol of positivity in the crypto world, it represents a commitment to transparency and trust in the market.
The listing of FUD Token on reputable exchanges like @HuobiGlobal is a clear indication that the crypto industry is moving in a positive direction. The demand for #FUD Token is a sign of confidence in the market, and a vote of support for a positive attitude towards crypto.Source https://mobile.twitter.com/justinsuntron/status/1622102113756286976 This FTX debt token seems like a disaster in the making. It was meant to have a fair value under $5 ( 20M token for $100M debt), but speculative traders have driven the price to an unrealistic level, reaching $113 high yesterday and currently trading at $64 on Huobi. Would advise anyone to stay away from this shitshow. |

For today's match I'm expecting an upset from Complexity against Mouz. The odds (2.80) is attractive IMO considering Mouz just lost to OG yesterday. As for the favorites, I'm placing a parlay on Liquid and Heroic for 2.64 odds.
These two bets turned out to be a win  
Missed the first two games for today. I'll just put a parlay on G2 and FaZe. This should be a realtively safe bet.  I think the same. Navi has great improvement in this tournament but G2 is really killing it right now. Monesy has improved a lot during his stay with G2 and he is getting better and better as an AWPer.
Yeah G2 is easily the favourite right now. Their performance in 2023 has been flawless and seeing how they take down FaZe yesterday, I'm thinking this is their best chance to win a Katowice title. Not even sure who can match them at this point with Heroic looking shaky since Blast Premier. |

Don't worry about that balance it will be taken care of by their representative @SirJohnVonSlotty during working days. We promised that you guys can withdraw the winnings and we plan to stick with it. Everybody so far got their money without doing KYC and we will do everything in our power to keep it that way.
I guess most of you doing reviews could get targeted by matrix since you guys are making new accounts, taking bonus, doing required roll over and trying to pay it out. Basically the behavior pattern that every multi account bonus abuser would do.
We agreed beforehand with Cro2 that all the withdrawals will get approved. I already talked with a portion of the team and we'll get to it tomorrow morning. Could you just give me more info so that I can solve this quicker, did you use a VPN? Which country did you use? And can you send me your nickname used on the site over PM so that I can pin point you  And as Trofo mentioned, I will need to check if the system works as intended or if the KYC rule wasn't followed by our CS, either way you'll get your money and I hope you'll leave this campaign with a happy face. Update 6. Feb: This has been actioned and you've been messaged by the CS. It should be sorted out Yeah, it's all sorted now and I've successfully received my withdrawal. Thanks for looking into it! |

Is osmosis a good coin? I noticed that you can stake the coin directly on wallet and earn some percentage profit. But I checked the coin market information.
This looks like a solid project in the Cosmos ecosystem, one of its leading DEX I assume. It has been around for years and has a respectable TVL at almost $200 million. I'm not a regular user of Cosmos chains, but it is safe to say that this isn't a random scam coin. The platform fulfils a specific use case, i.e. interchain DEX in the Cosmos eco. Maximum supply: 1 billion
Circulating supply: 492.59 million
Total supply: 325 million
It has a good marketcap which is $495 million, but why is the circulating supply higher than the total supply? All the coins that I have checked before, either the circulating supply is lesser than or equals to the total supply, why higher this time?
Yeah that's interesting. My guess is the total supply information is not up to date while the circulating supply data is updated in real-time based on API (i.e. https://api-osmosis.imperator.co/supply/v1/osmo) |

I see... well looks like it's going to take me forever to get promoted since it is hard to get merits. Can you perhaps suggest me how I can get more merits? Thank you in advance. Just try to make informative and valuable posts that others find useful and worth reading. Good luck! |

I think I have more than needed Activity and Merits to be a Sr. Member... why is it not being updated?  You meet the Activity requirement yes, but you are falling short in Merit. You need 250 merit to be a Sr. Member and as of now, you only have 56. |

Lots of interesting matches in IEM Katowice today. Obviously, the match of the day will be G2 vs FaZe. Both teams looking strong and haven't lost a single match in 2023, topping their own group in BLAST Premier last week, so I expect this to be a close one.
The rest of the matches will likely be one-sided: Heroic should take on Complexity easily, the same as Cloud9 vs IHC, and Outsiders vs Fnatic.
Both Heroic and FNATIC matches went to a full series. They are both playing their 3rd map on Overpass. FNATIC currently leading with 9-6. FNATIC is playing very disciplined CS. Yeah, I didn't expect that, especially IHC's 2-0 upset against Cloud9. Must be tough for them to get eliminated by IHC as both maps went on to the full 30 rounds (16-14). Curious about how high IHC's ceiling is, we'll see how they will perform against FaZe tomorrow. FaZe currently taking a beating against G2 in Ancient, 10-5. Broky, as usual, is spearheading the offensive for FaZe. Lots of good rounds for this man but simply isn't enough to convert it to wins due to G2's tight positioning on the map. Rooting for G2 but FaZe can probably get this map if they continue that great rotation of theirs.
Yep, G2 played really well. With this kind of performance, I'm sure they will take down NaVi in the Group A upper final.
For today's match I'm expecting an upset from Complexity against Mouz. The odds (2.80) is attractive IMO considering Mouz just lost to OG yesterday. As for the favorites, I'm placing a parlay on Liquid and Heroic for 2.64 odds.

What activity/work will you be doing in the exchange?
Acually I am making a long-term strategy for 10 years where I will invest 10 dollar worth of Bitcoin in every week. That's why I need to find a exchanger where withdrawal fee is close to 0  . I have already passed two weeks in Binance. But I wanna change those fund from them to a decentralised wallet for more security. And since I have to withdraw a lot times so that I need an exchanger with the lowest withdrawal fee. Oh, then Kraken would be sufficient and suitable for that. You may not be able to withdraw every week though as 10 USD currently is only 0.0004, which doesn't meet the minimum amount (0.0005). If you're OK with using Lightning Network, then you can try OKX as OmegaStarScream mentioned above. |

Thanks for the reviews fellas. From my understanding the bonus set up is based on static crypto values for each currency, not the USD equivalent - which is not good. I understand that this is not the best user experience and I'll get to it tomorrow. I would need to talk with the platform provider and see if we can set it to a fixed USD value instead of the crypto one. I'm also open for suggestions if you would like it somehow different Yes, I think it's best to set it to a fixed USD value if it's possible.
I'm going to continue my review here. With some luck and thousands of slot rolls, I managed to complete the wagering requirement and ended up with 9mBTC (~$200) in my balance.  I requested a withdrawal of that amount. I didn't know I had to confirm my BTC address from my email as there wasn't any message or anything on the withdrawal page. I realized it 15 minutes later upon reading Harkorede's review You should add more description to the withdrawal status, e.g. "Pending email confirmation".  After waiting for about an hour, I received a notification that my withdrawal is rejected and I need to send over some KYC documents (ID, proof of address, and proof of payment methods). I talked to support as to why I need to provide my KYC documents but they didn't give a concrete answer, just referring to the T&C. I guess it was the same situation that LoyceV had earlier, that I triggered the KYC matrix somehow. I guess I'll just leave the balance there as I'm not going to provide my KYC.  I will add additional points on things that I would like to see improved on: - More clarity on KYC requirements. As LoyceV mentioned, people hate the sudden KYC requirements upon withdrawal.
- Reminder/description in withdrawal page for email confirmation after registering BTC address for withdrawal
And that will conclude my review. Again, thank you guys for the opportunity! |

Kraken BTC withdrawal fee is only 0.00001 BTC (1,000 sats) with a low minimum too (0.0005 BTC). I'm not sure if it will suitable for your activity though, as Kraken doesn't offer as many pairs and products as Binance. What activity/work will you be doing in the exchange?  |

Ooof that Dillon guy just got owned for good reason It amplifies the need for investors to do their complete research before investing in newly launched projects. Even the person you had been admiring or following on social media platforms can be just promoting a scam. So apply some common sense next time instead of blindly following the expert financial advice of these gurus. Another platform, where this abuse frequently happens is YouTube where creators promote number of fake projects.
Agree, in general, you shouldn't take financial advice from social media influencers, especially those who have a shady reputation and track record. Most of the time their actions are driven by self-interest, whether that's through paid promotions or creating artificial hype for tokens or NFTs that they will eventually sell to their followers. |

Lots of interesting matches in IEM Katowice today. Obviously, the match of the day will be G2 vs FaZe. Both teams looking strong and haven't lost a single match in 2023, topping their own group in BLAST Premier last week, so I expect this to be a close one. The rest of the matches will likely be one-sided: Heroic should take on Complexity easily, the same as Cloud9 vs IHC, and Outsiders vs Fnatic. Natus Vincere seem strong in the main tournament, IEM Katowice 2023. They defeated Cloud9 by a reassuring 2-0 score in total. Especially their performance on Inferno was very impressive. s1mple was also impressive on this map. Some of his AWP shots reminded me of his prime time. It is good to see him getting stronger again because the team need his carrying skills as it seems.
They might be likely to face G2 once again this time here in the upper final. If this really happens I wonder whether they will let G2 win once again. Because they have a quite bad record against them recently.
Yeah Navi should be able to defeat Liquid easily tonight and go to the upper-bracket final. Not entirely sure who they will face there as both G2 and FaZe are in their prime, but I'm going to put my money on G2. If that's the case, hopefully, Navi will put up a good fight and not get 2-0'ed again like the last two times in BLAST Premier  I really wish they would just bring back Boombl4, IMO they really need a strong IGL. |
