We've seen people like him telling this and that negativity about bitcoin and spreading it to the other investors. But, it won't work for us, we've been here for a long time and we know what's up with bitcoin.
He may or not understand the technology and bitcoin but he's a guy that knows about money, he may not express it publicly that he likes it as we've seen folks that have been telling bad words against bitcoin and then suddenly, turned to a neighbor and friendly bitcoin investor.
So basically, what you mean is he's just manipulating the market with his words or the guy just want to express his feelings because he knows what Bitcoin is or don't want people to get suspicious about him if ever he invested Bitcoin secretly?
Either way, we really have seen people like him before using their influence to change the perspective and decisions of others when it's come to investments.
I think I've seen someone like that who keeps giving a bad vibes about Bitcoin yet secretly investing/holding Bitcoin himself but I just forgot who he was.
That could be Jamie Dimon that has been telling words like him about bitcoin but little did everybody know that he's accumulating bitcoin and is into cryptocurrencies. He's even made his own company's coin, I don't know what happened to it.

Yes, it hasn't ended when I've posted and said it's just the first half that ended and we're on the 2nd half and it didn't ended well for the NaVi. Well, what a clutch on the banana rush. IIRC, that was from broky cmiiw. Too many good plays and NaVi choked on. I just like seeing that fans are also crashing on the chatbox, I'm sure you all are seeing it too.  Smiley
Map 2 coming in.
Haha, cool. Tbh, I don't think Navi is choked at all since I've said above, very hard to play in the T side if you don't have the overwhelming in unity/nade or skill over other CT team. For Navi, economy management isn't their strong suit so if one or two match losses, hard for them to make a comeback against Faze, against all odds in CT for Faze and the nature of map inferno as well.
Now we're at Overpass map. I think Navi has a strong chance to win this since this is their pick and they have a history of doing quite well on Overpass. If this game is Bo3, I'd place my bet on Navi for the overall winner. But this is Bo5 and Navi if I remember correctly not doing well in the long Bo5 game, and Faze has that kind of endurance and crafty of the old fox. I think it will be a close game for both teams.
Faze won. Actually, you're right with your analysis and we've seen how it went and it was really a close match. I thought that NaVi would have won it.
But, no.
Choke or no choke in 1st map , Navi is running over Faze in map 2 and also in map 3 on Ancient. I've said in my previous post that I have a strange feeling this could go 3-1 for Navi and with a comeback will make it even more epic.

With how Faze is looking on map 3 when they are down 1-8 on their map pick , I don't think they will have the necessary resources to comeback and win Mirage Navi pick where Simple simply has godlike angles to work with.

EDIT : Literally one of the most insane games and is not even over yet.
It would have been a different story if NaVi took the 1st map but we all knew that it's not really for them. Well, the last map was intense.
Congrats to them.

Hehe , I placed a bet on 1st map Navi and it would a hard one as they chose Overpass which is a strong map of Faze but I do think S1mple has something prepared for them.

Regarding total maps ...it might be a strange 3-1 for Navi but I personally want 5 maps too. Grin

EDIT : sorry , it seems map 2 is overpass.
The same comments that I've been reading on the stream that NaVi is weak on the first map, Inferno. I've seen them retrieved themselves and proved everyone wrong at the first half.
From 1-5(Faze), they've managed to take the map 1 into 9-6. We're moving now to the 2nd half, we'll see if they'll continue to prove those folks wrong.
The first map hasn't ended yet, don't be hasty. Although I agree Navi is strong but CT side inferno is now for Faze. Inferno is one of my favorite maps and T side always hard to get points since strats against the banana rush are very effective. There aren't many ways for T sides to take control of banana so they can only go A site. Even then, B side banana only needs 1 player to lookout after you get complete control of it. This put A site harder to push where you might see 4 CT players stack, pit, connect to B, bacony,... So many to check for T, so much for crossfire against T. The odd is against Navi in the second half.
Yes, it hasn't ended when I've posted and said it's just the first half that ended and we're on the 2nd half and it didn't ended well for the NaVi. Well, what a clutch on the banana rush.

Why do people play in casinos? For the sake of adrenaline? Self-satisfaction?
Most likely for the self satisfaction. We do say that many are for the entertainment and that's part of self satisfaction.
And I think the adrenaline is also part of self satisfaction. On the second part of your sentence, yes that's true and that's me. When I play I will only deposit small amounts but I think I am too wise enough because I will still divide this small capital on two different games. One is for risky game and also a fast paced game. The other is for a fun game.

Although this game has a fast animation but I will slowly bust on it because the risk is only moderate. If my luck strikes on me, I can also take home some dollars playing this game. There's nothing better than enjoying and then earning a profit. This is the best combo in my opinion when gambling.
That's your strategy on how you're dividing your bankroll and that's actually good if you ask me. There are gamblers that can't manage to budget the money that they've got for gambling.
So, in the end, they're out too early and can't reach that climax that every gambler wants to have. And that's to have at least a good run and winning some despite losing all.

The Chinese people are so strange. They act like luck is some kind of ghost that you have to lure and keep close.

I don't believe in this bullshit with lucky charms, doing or saying certain things before a bet and all. A man who blames a statue for losing in a casino presents himself as weak and childish.
That's really part of their culture and I've seen many times a Chinese does do some prayer before they go in a casino. They pray with an incense in front of buddha.
I was curious back then because I was still young during the first time I've seen it. But, I've come to realize that it's part of their culture, belief and religion.

We all just need is respect when it comes to differences in culture and beliefs.
There are even not Chinese people who have lots of rituals when it comes to their gambling activities.
Some of them have beliefs that they need to follow certain practice before anything else.
No problem with that, we are all entitled to follow what we think will give us some luck.
Yes, respect is the key. The same as the others, not all of them are into their culture and traditions. We can see that in different races and nations that the new generation don't lean that much into their beliefs.
And for us that are not well depth into their culture, it's understandable why many of them are doing it for the sake of increasing their chances of winning before they gamble.

Again thank you very much for responding.
https://www.binance.com/en
That's the official link for binance. They've got an academy and if you want to learn about it, you can read materials there too.
https://academy.binance.com/en
Binance is really legit and that's why there are scammers that are trying to copy the domain in trying to mislead the beginners like you.

And will add to your positivity for the next day because you've won. But it also contributes that negativity if opposite happens to you. Well, it's a go to or go home scenario at most times.
You'll just choose which mood you're in for today as you gamble because that affects your emotion very well and your decisiveness for your bets that you do on that exact situation you're in.

We agree with you and hold the same position. It is important to control your emotions and set yourself up for good and positive thinking, which can help you cope with resentment if you lose. Critical thinking also plays an important role, which can keep you from obsessive and frivolous ideas. It is good if you have found your balance and rhythm, through which you are able to survive this or that situation.
That's where many gamblers are falling in that situation when they allow their emotions to do the control on them instead of them controlling their emotions.
Losing big and getting greedier when they're about to recover their losses. You're like gone in the wild when you're in a losing streak because all you think about is your money back and that's the uncontrollable emotion that has overcome the gambler.

I don't know guys, I think you are very strict on this topic. Yes, you will not earn much money there, yes, you may expose your addresses and KYC. But let's not forget that this is still made for beginners and those for whom even $20-30 is important. Study coins like GRT a bit, provide graph quiz answers, and get a couple of bucks, for someone looks good. We are talking about cryptocurrency as a world currency, and in many regions of our planet (unfortunately) even $20 is good money. And almost everyone can do it.
Yes, that's good money but in the modern world today, the KYC that you'll pass to them is that you'll never know if it will also be passed on to other companies that will market.
If you haven't noticed it yet, just you sign up to a website and then eventually, you'll receive various marketing spams that you have never reached out to them or even signed up for. Also, those identity that are passed onto them, they could be stolen and be on sale in the dark market.

For the sake of winning! It is the generous winnings that encourage players to bet in the casino and take risks over and over again in the hope of catching luck by the tail.
Everyone wants to win and even you're for the entertainment, you'll want to make sure that after you enjoy, there's still some hole for winning.
Agree! Any significant success brings great satisfaction. It raises our self-confidence and motivates us to continue doing this business.
And will add to your positivity for the next day because you've won. But it also contributes that negativity if opposite happens to you. Well, it's a go to or go home scenario at most times.

3013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kazuto Ioka vs Donnie Nietes II on: July 14, 2022, 11:08:34 PM
I think Casimero will rise more to fame but his arrogance is what he's proud of when he goes into that boxing ring. If we compare it to Nietes and Pacquiao that's totally the opposite. I think if Nietes lost this match, he'd be happily wants to retire with contention.
He should be more careful on his career now and by the way he speak. If he's aiming to be of the same greatness with these great boxers during his time, he really need to humble down and also avoid talking too much but showing more his strength during the fight. Although he's really got something to boast for.
Tough loss but still proud of what he did there in the ring, he's still a champion in our hearts as a Filipino. Ioka was just a beast and still in his prime.

I don't know if he's that careful but just can't get enough on that arrogance, historically that doesn't end well for who have done it in the past. Still love those boxers that aren't arrogant yet won't back out when they're stepping that ring, they're the respectable professionals.
Yeah, those boxers that have a humble heart, they're likely to get more fans and love from the people. But if that's how they talk to their opponents, maybe there's something else.
We don't know them yet personally and I think that they're different in real lives when you deal with them face to face and that would make us think differently.

they could become richer than China and the US combined if they decide to invest in their country like China did.
How could they be? I haven't imagine and thought of that they'll be more than these two superpowers even if bitcoin skyrockets to an unexpected price or even $1M, I guess?
But where I need your opinions is on this: can it be made public enough to scare off monopolists?
Monopolists are everywhere, whatever they do, they'll do it with any situation that they can. Despite there's the new adoption that's happening there, they can still adjust on it.

OK, I am very glad to see that Preev.com is online again. I hope the person or persons behind this site will provide contact details for us to notify them when the site is down.

Looking at the site statistics and the hits Preev.com are getting, I will also suggest that the developers behind the site might consider adding a donation address for people to help with the funding for the site.  Wink

In any way.... Thank you very much for all your inputs.  Wink
Yes, it's always. I've wondered now when I've been using them for years but stopped since the pandemic has started on how this website earns. There seems to be no way for them to generate profit so yeah, a donation address will be a big thing to them.
Just like the other website that we used to see that they've got a tip address.

I do think that this is temporary, it's the same with the crypto market that going down is forever so changes will happen also but we don't know when.
But knowing if this is good or bad for bitcoin, I can't really tell. Although one thing is proven for bitcoin, whatever is the crisis that the world is facing, it remains strong. I guess for those that are into forex trading, the advantage is on them and they know how to react on this parity.

Well, they'll see that it'll surpass $100k soon and it's just a matter of time. No matter what they say about it and stand for, those that understands the economics and potential of bitcoin will continue to believe on it and we all do.
3020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inherited gambling on: July 12, 2022, 11:41:24 PM
Gambling cant be inherited because this is basing up on behavior which is something not connected with that DNA thingy or something like that.
As a guardian or parent if you dont like for your children to be a gambler then dont let them to see on what you've been doing.
I'm of the same opinion but if they have a study and proof that it's really hereditary, there's no way to twist and flip that study case that they've got and the same goes to the proof.
But as parents, we don't want to be the same with our children if it's about gambling and what we want for them is the best that they can. That's why as part of parenting, we're telling them not to be the same as us and avoid gambling.
