Yeah same for me. I haven't watched One Piece in a long time but it was definitely my favourite when growing up. One punch man is awesome too, also something for elder persons. I wish I could speak Japanese.

You stream is cool, like your outfit especially. If you will keep this up regularly I think there will be many more people watching.

I saw you also missed the Bit Ace tournament, maybe next weekend =)

Why don't you have any delay of like 2-5 minutes? Are you not afraid someone will snipe your stream?

Good luck for this week

I think it all depends on how sure you are on the bets, if you are 99% certain of a win I would recommend betting high, but if you don't know for sure, it's better to just bet small. I personally prefer to spread out by bets and bet smaller. If I gamble less than $10 on a bet I am not triggered if I lose and I can also go for riskier bets.
Maybe try a few more weeks your current strategy and see how it goes? We shouldn't abandon our strategies to fast.

I agree with you, failures can always happen and we need to deal with them in a constructive way. Humans are not perfect so everyone is going to make at least once in his life a mistake. It's all about staying positive and don't lose track of your goals. If we fall, we need to keep back up. A good saying I heard about failure is, that every failure just means you are one step closer to success.

I wouldn't call targeted marketing such a great thing, looking at some products just once will likely keep them in your recommendation list for a long time. The rise of a lot of different VPN companies shows in my opinion that the is a huge demand for privacy in the internet. People are willing to pay for such privacy and the more our data is getting exploited the higher the demand for security from such marketing companies.

That is not always the case, I know some friends of my parents who are older and they all store real gold at a deposit in a bank. Among the elderly population it's pretty common to invest in physical gold, they just don't trust financial derivatives that mirror the gold price. In my opinion the motivation to buy gold is very similar to buy cryptos. Investors want security which they can't find in the traditional assets like stocks and bonds.

I am involved in crypto currencies to diversify my portfolio and earn some returns outside of the traditional asset classes. The government has too much influence over fiat money in my opinion. And cryptos offer a good way to get some independence from the central banks. Also crypto wallets over a good way to store money outside of the reach of banks. With the last government crisis in Europe in 2011 we saw the risk of banks going bankrupt and losing all the money in the saving accounts.

It's sad if people don't see any way out of their pain and suffering and end up taking their own life's. There is also some blame going towards society because we couldn't help enough or show another way out.

One sign I saw on a bridge impressed me the most, taking your own life doesn't end the pain, I just transfers it to other. There will be people who miss you and will be hurting if you disappear

I agree with you, the corona pandemic forced many companies to rethink there business model. Working from cubicles in huge office floors doesn't seem so important anymore. Company policies become more and more relaxed for home office and flexible working times. I really like how working now becomes more reliant on the internet and offers a better flexibility for workers. I think we will see less and less demand for office spaces in the future, the real estate market is changing too.

Yeah it might the case that cyber criminals love crypto currencies but for the average criminal the education in IT and internet issue is probably very low and they will not trust any cryptos. I would assume that they will value cash always the highest, because they can see and touch it. Also when paying with cash you are more independent. When paying with cprytos you need internet access and government might track you.

I always preferred company of heroes 2 to men of war. But the campaign and bots get boring very fast. I would recommend playing online.

Would be awesome to get company of heroes 3 eventually.

Just started up your stream. Good luck for the 3k tournament.

Unfortunately I am too late for the BitAce tournament on SwC Poker, I will play a bounty hunter later probably.

Congratulations and good luck with the tournament. You go this one!

It's awesome you are now on Twitch, I am #Follower11 =)

Didn't have much time to play poker this weekend, will be doing some partypoker tournaments tonight.

The thing about slots is that you don't need any skills to play them. You can just put your money in an play. And the Jackpot advertisements are very misleading. The chance are so low to win, but yet you have to pay only very small amount. With a lot of flashy lights and noises it's visually attractive. Another factor for the high demand of slots, even if they are rigged systems is that you insert cash nd get legit winnings. No one is checking how you got the money to play slots, It's a great tool for criminals to launder money. If you lose between 10 - 20% of your money it's a great tool to get legit money. And if you work together with the owners of the machines it's a win win situation for everybody.

For professional gamblers VR might not be the right equipment, but most of the people playing in a casino are actually not professionals. For them it's more about having fun and enjoying a night out. When I go to physical casinos with friends it's nice to win some money, but you can't count on it. Otherwise you will just be miserable if you lose that night. For thre recreational gambler VR casino offer a great new way to interact with people. In my opinion there is definitely demand for such kind of games where it's not only about gambling but also about interacting with your fellow gamblers. VR offers a lot of new possibilities for casinos. I think it's a good idea.

I am getting more and more into valorant myself. Its a great interactive game with a lot of features compared to old school games like CSGO. Still working on understanding the competitive scene of valorant. Getting into betting would be the next step for me. I missed the hole fortnite hype so valorant will be my first game I betting on after CSGO, LoL and dota. Any pretty safe bet recommendations for new gamblers here?

Bitcoins are good for an economy because they provide more independence and diversification for merchants, investors and gamblers. Bitcoins enable the users a cheap alternative to fiat currencies. The only problem a country and its economy face is that they are giving up its monetary policy monopoly. Which is not a bad thing. It only becomes bad once crypto currencies are misused for illegal  activities. If investors use bitcoins to avoid paying taxes its a bad thing. Tax evasion hurts an economy a lot, but most tax issues are done with cash in fiat and not cryptos.

I am no export in LoL, only played a little myself and watch some tournaments from time to time. MAD Lions have a good team but not sure if they can make it to the finals - there are plenty of good teams out there. I like G2 Esports from Europe a lot more and Top Esports from China seem to be the favourite. I will probably just bet for the finals.

Just grinding some low stakes zoom games for now. Maybe 1 or 2 tournaments this weekend.

Not in a poker match but still got a bit lucky here:



Anyone playing the twitch freeroll this week?

The problem with a gambling addiction is that it changes you. You are not rational anymore and your actions become much more impulsive. Without you really realising it. Let's say you lose big one time, instead of evaluating what went wrong you only focus on making that money back. Which usually leads to higher losses because you are emotionally too invested. If everyone would keep acting rational there would be no gambling addiction. I think it's mainly the job of friends and family to notice a change in behaviour and gambling habits.
