4301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor says crypto regulations would speed adoption on: February 05, 2022, 11:23:31 PM
It would be nice if the regulations are aimed towards the secure development of the space and not just regulations that are aimed to limit the growth of crypto. Most of the time they are just placing regulations to monitor people's activities, and are not really keen on helping them to achieve more and be with the people at all.

While I do believe that what Saylor is saying is partly true, I don't think regulations, per se, would be enough of a motivation for people to adopt cryptocurrencies.
4302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the most important features of an online crypto casino? on: February 05, 2022, 10:36:22 PM
I chose payout speed simply because these is usually what's lacking with most platforms nowadays. They tend to gravitate towards manual payout which I'm not a huge fan of. While I understand that some casinos find this very effective in ensuring that there aren't any payouts missed, it does affect the speed (and sometimes, efficiency) of the payout which is IMO not ideal at all. Next thing perhaps would be customer service. It's one aspect that most gambling platforms are weak at, and any improvement is very much welcome in this area.
4303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the next big industry move? on: February 05, 2022, 08:39:41 PM
Metaverse or not, most gamblers would still use the old platforms. They'd stick with the games that they're most familiar with since most of their goal is to win money and not drive innovation. Ultimately, the players will still decide what direction will the industry head to, but I guess it is more of the same.

What I'm keen of is the improvement of existing platforms. Not saying something is broken, just that any improvements can be a great help.
4304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: February 05, 2022, 03:06:49 PM
Blast premier Spring Groups final matches will be played today, I can say it's a very competitive day. G2- Vitality match has already started, I think G2 team will prevail from this match. Monesy has been a very good carrier for the G2, a good transfer, then there are OG-NIP and FAZE-BIG matches. Bets can be made to win NIP and Faze. The teams had a good transfer period, I see very important changes.

G2 is good with Monesy in, but I don't think Vitality will go down without a fight. Apex and Misuta has been quite consistent in their last matches, too, so it will be difficult for Monesy to match the tempo these two dudes have been building. Dupreeh, however, is quite lame IMO, but hopefully he picks the pace up.

Currently Vitality is leading the game in Dust 2. This is neither team's strong map but Vitality is showing good coordination and rotations on the CT Side so far.
4305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Roobet & Rollbit on: February 04, 2022, 11:38:18 PM
I don't know how you came up with the inference that they are operated by the same owner, but their licenses and domain registration says that they are two different entities managed by different people. Site design is also completely different, and I can't nitpick anything that might connect Roobet to Rollbit.

Whatever your reason on asking this, I hope it's just something innocent. You can contact support directly too, though I don't think they'll cater to your curiosity.
4306  Economy / Economics / Re: Worried about inflation? In Argentina, it’s a way of life. on: February 04, 2022, 10:49:00 PM
As someone who avoids installments as much as possible due to high interest rates, it's amazing and at the same time, shocking to know that the very thing that I usually avoid is the go-to for people in a different country. Due to the absurd amount of inflation happening in Argentina, perhaps paying in installments is the only way to ensure that you are not 'overpaying' for whatever item you bought. Argentinians must be experts in economics by now, as they have to endure rising prices at a much faster rate compared to everyone else and still get by just fine.
4307  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin in Rocket 🚀 mood. on: February 04, 2022, 10:11:10 PM
I don't really think that bitcoin is really in the verge of making a breakout move. It sits pretty well on the $40k range though there aren't any indications that it can go past beyond that. Volumes have been pretty good across all exchanges, but there haven't been any significant movements or any other significant buy volumes that popped up.

I'd wait for it to cross $45k where the first resistance levels are placed before I consider it a breakout.
4308  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Man who lost 7500 bitcoin in a landfill asks gov't he wants to dig it up on: February 04, 2022, 05:06:11 PM
He's still not giving up after a few years. If he ever finds that drive, it's already destroyed beyond repair and the data inside will never be recovered. Props to him though for being persistent, and going through the appropriate process of asking the government for permission to excavate. It is also hard to do such since he will spend money on the excavation process, but what if there's nothing in there anymore? This is entirely a gamble, and I don't think it is one that he will win.
4309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador Rejects IMF Call to Abandon Bitcoin as Legal Tender on: February 04, 2022, 01:55:46 PM
It's just a recommendation and not an outright order after all, so they can freely decline it and not incur any penalties from doing so. IMF also does not have any jurisdiction over the decisions of El Salvador, though they can influence outside forces to mount pressure on the country.

El Salvador still has the dollar on their side though, and perhaps it's enough to keep IMF at bay in the mean time.

If we do talk about geographical reasons then it is really just near but is this the actual reason on why he had chosen up a SEA team?
I'm not sure, I've also just read it from someone and I think that's a viable reason.

Wondering on how much they had able to offer ANA on making him join T1 which i never expect that a 2x TI champion carry do really consider out on joining SEA team.

Its a bit exciting to see on how their teamwork would really be dominating on possible majors and on TI too.
We don't know. We have no idea how much offer are they making for someone who's 2-TI champ. But, there could also be the idea that the offer could be lower and ana just wanted to play and get back in action again.

I don't know about the whole contract thing since I haven't read any info regarding that.
There are no solid reasons behind since it was been known on a leak.

During a regular stream, T1 offlaner and captain Kuku accidentally tabbed into the post-game screen of a recent match. The page showed an organized practice match between T1 and fellow Southeast Asian team Yangon Galacticos. While most of the normal T1 roster was in attendance, the carry slot was occupied by an account called “man”. This account allegedly belongs to ana. Kuku himself confirmed that it was big news by quickly closing out of the game page and commenting on his mistake.

Source

Is he planning to make some SEA team to be a TI champion?

Ana has been grinding for 10+ hours per day based on the activity of his known accounts in SEA. It is possible that he comes back to the scene and help T1 take some majors or even win TI. His regular interactions with Topson on streams also suggests that he's enjoying the game a lot more compared to previous patches. Then again, it could just be a bluff from Kuku and the organization, but these kinds of events often turn out to be true, and if it is, it will be big. Topson can also come and join the fray, but given his current circumstances, I doubt he'll play professionally for a team for the mean time.
4311  Economy / Speculation / Re: How come BTC is not at least $75,000 yet? on: February 03, 2022, 11:22:20 AM
Bitcoin is still a speculative asset, and it's still subject to wild price changes as people can freely leave or enter the market. We almost got close to $70k last time, and right now we're at $30k+, which shows bitcoin's highly volatile nature. Also, most people don't understand their economy, and even if the value of EUR and USD is tanking, they would still think that keeping their money in banks is the safest way to weather out this storm.

4314  Economy / Economics / Re: Overseing health and environmental impact of high energy required in Bitcoin on: February 01, 2022, 09:28:12 PM
Or you know, instead of continuously complaining about how bad bitcoin's energy consumption is, why not governments make a move to help people do the switch from fossil fuels to renewables and help change this problem not only for bitcoin but also for other industries that use too much energy? Oh that's right, the government protects energy companies that utilize fossil fuels as they have vested interest on them.

It's really crazy how these reports surface, and how they only point out bitcoin as that one big mofo that uses excess energy when in fact there are other countless industries out there that use more or the same amount of energy. Perhaps they can advocate towards the use of renewables too, but they most probably won't.
4315  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: India proposes 30% tax on crypto and NFTs income on: February 01, 2022, 06:29:48 PM
I guess let them stick to bans then. 30% is simply unacceptable, and you will just see that your earnings will go to waste on projects that are not really helping, and your government is plague with corrupt officials that doesn't do anything except rob the public off their money.

Perhaps people from India can lobby for a somewhat acceptable rate. A rate that people can work with and be okay with while still supporting the government's projects.
4316  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for Feb on: February 01, 2022, 01:36:13 PM
Dear cat bounce. Market is already bearish, and I don't think traders are still motivated to buy and pump bitcoin across the $40k mark. Lots of people are still dumping after a few% increase, and I don't think that's a sign that we are heading towards a bull market.

There are still quite a number of weak hands still offloading their coins on exchanges, and if they're still around, most probably every increase on the price will be met with dumps.
4317  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Government Really Ban Crypto? on: February 01, 2022, 12:49:19 PM
They can always ban the use and purchase of bitcoin 100%, but they can never stop people from using it amid the legal threat of being jailed if they did not follow the enforcement of the ban. This will only force people to use it even more and even build underground networks and connections wherein bitcoin usage, purchase, and sale will thrive. Instead of the government legalizing cryptocurrencies and benefit from it, they want to force people to fend for themselves and force them to use their own fiat (and the banking system, which sucks.)
4318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: First Europe With Bitcoin Salary on: February 01, 2022, 08:19:08 AM
I think they are not directly receiving bitcoin per se, but just have stated that they will be converting their salary into bitcoin as soon as they receive it. Two different things, but the message is still clear: they are now slowly welcoming bitcoin into the economy and possibly their ecosystem. They are getting smart by getting their feet wet, and by being an example for others who has the capacity to do the same.

Hopefully what they're doing is just not to get some sympathy and following from bitcoin and crypto users just to get re-elected since there are some people who would do everything just to make themselves look good.
4319  Economy / Economics / Re: Meta’s cryptocurrency ploy all but dead with Libra/Diem seeking to sell assets on: January 31, 2022, 06:04:12 PM
There's a lot of things going on with Libra and regulators would simply not allow it. Zuckerberg and his company has already been targeted for a lot of things since they are trying to play untouchables with people's information. They have been connected with numerous privacy breaches, and them handling a financial tool/service/whatever simply just doesn't sit well with what they are already doing. Props to them for trying, but if Libra/Diem doesn't have a place in the crypto world.
4320  Economy / Speculation / Re: Prediction: Low was $34K or will be ~$25K on: January 31, 2022, 12:56:44 PM
Makes sense for me. Even I am guilty of thinking that a $4.30 piece of meat is a better buy than a $4.99 one, albeit the latter showing more quality and freshness compared to the former. People like to skimp on things thinking that they'll get better value when they paid less, but that's not always the case. Oftentimes, this mindset makes people miss buying opportunities, and regret not buying when the opportunity presented itself.
