A random start isn't what we're saying but you're right about knowing where you should begin and probably there's no ending on it. Those that have the idea on how to start might have taken their knowledge somewhere else or with their other failed ventures. Yes, you just have to start and let yourself figure out the problems that will exist on your journey with that business. It is not an easy thing but you need to have that foundation before doing so. You don't start that you have no idea what you're doing, you have the idea, you have the plan and just execute it already and don't think of the problems yet if they're not yet there. Because that's the common mistake of people when they're on that phase, they think of the problem that's not yet existing. Yes, it's good to have some backup plans for the resolution of those problems that potentially can come out but don't stress yourself out with problems that are non existence when you do business.
There's an element you guys are failing to mention and putting into consideration when going into any form of business and that is passion. For any business to succeed amidst every challenges encountered it doesn't heavily depends on the plans laid down by the business owner as a backup but does have so much to do with how passionate the person is with that line of business he/she chooses to pursue. When every plans you put on ground fails and things not working as planned  due to the market challenges it is your passion for the business that will keep you from giving up on the business. We have heard successful business speak of their experiences while their business was in the infant stage, one thing you will grab from all they say is that they there was a kindle passion that kept them going even when things were falling apart. It's one thing to have a business plan it's still a different thing to have passion for the business you're into.
You're right, I've forgotten to say about being passionate when you start a business because it's not just all about making a profit and building your business. It's easier to do a business when you are passionate about what you are starting and the work and stress are much lighter when you have that on your side. Because if you start a business and you are just doing that because you think that you'll become rich and there's a big revenue, that's the whole point that these people are missing.

It's not just about starting a business but you should know what you're doing because if not, then you're doing it wrongly as you start it. The ones that are successfully able to venture into a business are the ones that knows what they do, they are passionate with it and then the profit comes next when all of these executions are smooth. Well, thank you for mentioning that part.
Would really be that an advantageous thing if we do speak about having that passion or having the interest on a certain business on which you wont really get easily tired or getting discourage on whatever things that you would be encountering along the way on which it would really be that different into those businesses on which you arent really that totally interested but leaving  you no choice since this is the only option you do have.
In overall it would really be that ideal to have a business which it is really that getting in line on what you do really like. Speaking about crypto investment,business and real estate. Then as much as possible then you should really be that engaging into these different forms considering that these things could really bring out profit and income on which it would really be able to expand out your financial capacity.
As much as possible you should really be that wise on handling out these things considering that risks is there then its just normal that you should really be that wise on taking up actions.
If i were to choose among the three then i would definitely be choosing real estate comparing into others. I do love passive income and i do love something
that could bring out that profits in long term.

For sure that there will be a lot of it, many pro players that participated this ti has already expressed their potential to retire. And we already have one shuffle and that's from PSG Quest, they have already removed Tobi in the roster. What a mistake from this team, if they have just kept ATF on their roster and has given him a good contract that both of them agrees upon, they probably had a good run on this TI.
It's a little sad when players leave, I hope zai doesn't leave the game forever. He said he needed rest now. Miposhka said the same thing. On the other hand, the players who came are writing a new history of Dota. Reshuffles also bring freshness to teams. Many of the results will surprise us.
It's just that I want zai and other players to win their own TI titles but it is going to take time for most of them to have it. I haven't heard miposhka said the same thing but it's okay on his end since he has achieved a lot and with all the prize money that he's won, he can actually retire forever now. Whilst for zai, he also has got prize money too but it's not enough when you think that you're not yet accomplished and still aiming for a bigger dream. But if he thinks that he needs to take a rest, he can do that.
Zai has won over $4.2 million in his career. This is a very high result, but of course he would like to win the TI and write his name in history forever. I even specifically went to check how many times he and his team were in the top-5 of different TI's. He took 3rd place with the team 3 times and 4th place 1 time. In my opinion, it’s better to take 1 time, but it will be 1st place and not take part in them anymore, burning your nerves completely)

Miposhka said that he would take a break, but what kind of break it would be is not clear, he probably didn't mean leaving or taking a break from his career. You will probably find these phrases in your news feeds.


Basing up on the words that "he wont go anywhere" then it would be half meant and since there's no clarification that its totally a retirement thing or simply that literal break on playing.

This is what do really marks out with these words basing up on the link given.
In the post-match interview at TI12, Mira patted the captain on the shoulder and said: "I hope Miposhka will endure the third race."
https://escorenews.com/en/dota-2/news/52418-miposhka-after-winning-ti12-i-m-not-going-anywhere-but-i-ll-definitely-take-a-break

Hope that they would really be that still intact on next year TI and trying out to break that 3x TI champion on which it do make even more that notable history in the world of Dota.
603  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If you must follow or use the services of trading signals providers on: November 02, 2023, 07:51:53 PM
Ain't a fan of trading signals as they are not accurate and doesn't guarantee anything at all.

At first I give it a try from a Polish colleague of mine who is a foreign expat. I visited his house in a subdivision within the central Philippines where I stayed at least a few times. He show me his trading room full of monitors where he's trading both stocks and crypto.

As I have learned about his trading signals and encourage me to try follow his calls, I give it a try provided that I only risk amounts that I can afford to lose for every call he had in his Telegram channel.

Based on my experience, it's not worth it. Despite I've won like 10% to 20% of the time, but overall I've lost a lot in my short and long positions of certain crypto pairings that he called. Then he even introduced me to his "VIP signals" in which I should be paying for a ridiculous monthly subscription or so.

That's where I slowly distance myself from him and never came back to visit him ever again every time I travel there to the central part of the Philippines.

No matter if it's free or paid signals, it won't promise or guarantee us profits. It's much better for us to self-learn about trading like reading and mastering the charts, TAs, etc. 
Others signals or even your own analysis is never been accurate and there's no thing that would really be that precise specially into this market considering the market is really that unpredictable and totally random.
There's no one that could be able to make out that on point calls on where it would be going on which considering that the market moves on random basing up on the demand and with those market makers
in between buyers and sellers on which there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself that precise predictions in the first place. Also just like what you have said that never ever in my
trading or investment career on taking up some advises or getting those signals yet i do always consider myself on making one and sticking with it. Somewhat there are really moments on which i dont really
make myself that going solo and consider out on taking up some ideas with others and snipping it out and applying it for myself.

Its not necessarily that you would be needing to put up something but to consider out that combining ideas and methods would really be that something that much better
rather than on making yourself that too restricted or really that mattering on sticking on your own ways.
604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 on: November 02, 2023, 12:07:04 PM
So this means that in every fight on which Inoue is really that taking up some drugs? This is really some shit kind of assumptions or throwing up some accusations without proof.
These ideas would really just come up on the time that there would really be some questions in regarding power and toughness on which people would really be starting on having doubts on which it isnt something new.
To remove out those kind of doubts and issues in regarding power then it should really be that mandatory or something that should really be added on boxing rules.
Accusations like this should really be something needs up to be proven but would they really that be allowing to take up some test before the fight? It should really be that fair
so that there would be no questions asked.

No one is accusing Inoue that he is taking illegal substances but somehow, Team Tapales was requesting that there would be VADA testing to both fighters as to really know if Inoue did not take something. There this thing if the fight is being held in Japan that most of the Japanese teams will take advantage of some scenarios like what gloves to wear. This happens to Casimero and Fulton wherein they were persuaded to wear thick gloves but fortunately, their teams didn't heed to their request and still wore the thin gloves.

It's fair though that team Tapales will request this kind of testing. And I think Inoue has been doing this as well every other fight. It's that maybe this is just highlighted by the camp of Tapales and make some noises about this. They could have their own allegations, but if there is no evidence, we could assume that Inoue is really clean and hasn't taken any drugs.

As for the gloves, I don't think it's significant though or has bearing on the result of the fight. Although it will favor Inoue to have thin gloves as he is the power puncher it could also backfire on him as it could case some hand injuries.
Possible that there might be already some test been done on every fight of Inoue on which same as you said that it turns out that it wasnt been on the talk and this is why it wasnt that emphasized or people do really talks about it. Cant be able to search up if these test are that being default or would really be just that upon request.. If it turns out to be that a thing that could be requested then it wont really be that a bad thing that Tapales team would really be that asking for such test and if Inoue would agree or none of them having some issues in regarding on this one then i dont thing for it to cause some delays which we know that there are really
lots of times on which fights are really that been delayed or postponed just because of having those disagreement on the said checks before the fight.

As for Tapales team then i do understand on having those kind of doubts on which they would really be that assuring that there would really be no substance involved with this fight.
We arent accusing but we cant also deny the possibilities as well which we do know that it does happen or exist on sports world.
605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 on: November 01, 2023, 09:59:16 PM

This is a unification fight, they'll do everything to make it a clean fight, and if that drug testing is requred, then I think both camp should comply with that.

That's a fair point. Anyone should be able to request drug testing to ensure that a boxer is not cheating. I believe it needs to be mandatory, especially for big fights like this one. Whoever wins this fight will become an undisputed champion, and it's detrimental to boxing if people start to doubt a champion's reputation due to non-compliance with drug testing rules.

Inoue's undeniable strength might lead opponents to question whether his power is natural or the result of performance-enhancing drugs.
So this means that in every fight on which Inoue is really that taking up some drugs? This is really some shit kind of assumptions or throwing up some accusations without proof.
These ideas would really just come up on the time that there would really be some questions in regarding power and toughness on which people would really be starting on having doubts on which it isnt something new.

606  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Using a Credit Card Demonstrate Financial Literacy? on: November 01, 2023, 08:59:22 PM
Financial intelligence is demonstrated in how we handle our financial responsibility and how we place our scales of preference on things that we tend as necessity, want and also what we classify as luxuries because you can afford to be luxurious with debt and at most, the only reason to take loans should be for starting up something new,  and that thing being able to service the loan on it own,  so why then should I spend too much using a credit card that I know is not my money and also I get heavy interest on that money,  and if that be the case then I will only spend the amount I know I will be able to afford to on my own,  that is the reason I prefer using cash or my own bank cards mostly debits cards.

I have never had a credit card all my life,  and I don't intend to have any for a long time probably forever,  because I will make sure to build my expenses around my budget and income per month.
But once you do have a credit card then you could really be able to make up some transactions if you are short in fiat but if you do see that you could be able to sustain yourself without credit card then it would really be just that so fine that you wont really be needing one but for me then it is really that something helpful if you are really just that mindful about paying up your dues. Myself does have that having those past problems about credit cards on which i do really end up on struggling on paying because of having those missed payments on which it did really give out those kind of penalties which ends up on being compounded until you would really be falling into the pit of debt on which getting out would really be never be that easy.

The good thing about on having credit card is that you could really be able to transact things or making those purchases even if you dont have fiat on your pocket which it is really that convenient.
Interest arent really that high though as long you do know on how to pay  your obligations but if not then expect that this is something that would really be happening.
Common sense you would really be needing in terms of handling up yourself into the right path. Spending isnt bad as long you are really that responsible on repaying those dues.
People do usually mess up their lives because of the wrong decisions that they had made.
607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The International 12 [Dota 2, eSport] discussion thread on: November 01, 2023, 07:58:32 PM
I'm glad that GG went against Team Spirit honestly. I don't know what would have happened had LGD won the elimination against GG. Pretty sure the games will still go Team Spirit's way, although how bad the results are for LGD is something else. On the 3rd game, that's when I thought GG had that game in the bag and they might post at least a win on TS, but lo and behold they shifted their momentum right when their backs are pressed against the wall and got that ball rolling with Collapse's Spirit Breaker.

Also, I don't know why tOfu picked Muerta 3 times. That kind of became predictable with their lineups and became easily countered in team fights. While the hero has a lot of potential in the early game, she becomes kind of useless as the game progresses and when used as a support. GG's pick patterns became similar to the TA-Tidehunter combo that Kuroky loved to run before, which became an easy puzzle to solve by their opponents later on.
If LGD had reached the grand final against TS, it would have been an even worse final, TS would have simply destroyed LGD, and their curse of losing in the grand final would have been repeated for the 3rd time. After this, I would have retired and not returned to the game.

Muerta was overrated at the end of the tournament, her win rate in the main event was only 40% with the largest number of games among the other heroes. Teams learned how to counterpick it and, of course, playing it 3 times was a mistake. GG should have looked towards Chaos Knight, who has 40 games throughout the entire tournament with a win rate of 67.5%, which is a lot. In any case, I liked this TI12 and I will remember it for a long time, I especially liked teams such as GG, VP, 9P.
Come to think that there's 2 chinese teams that do able to hover out themselves until the few spots on top ranks in overall in the tournament on which we do know on how far do able for Azure Ray and LGD did able to reach out but they do always choke but still a good run for them but there's always a better team against them. Im not saying that they arent that good but GG would really be that always superior even if they had just some rough time on dealing with opponents on lower bracket but they had sustained it out and beat each on of them. We do see that they do be able to beat up Chinese teams just like that those teams are composed of kids or simply the game did really jus that ended up too fast.

TS is really just that so good and ahving that huge heropool on which whenever there would really be counterpicking then it wont really be that a problem considering
that they could really be just simply picking up some hero which it iusually that  goes out into those meta picks on which this what makes them
unbelievable or amazing.
In general, it came as a surprise that 2 chinese teams took places in the top 4. Namely Azura Ray, who were assembled from old players and without serious organizations. They didn't have the tension that exists among teams. Somnus showed a really strong performance on Necro. But I didn’t like AR’s behavior at the end of the meeting with BB, when at the end of the 3rd map the chinese wrote "question marks" (?) in chat and something like “you’re not good enough” to one of the players.

Having a huge pool of heroes increases the chances of winning, so teams need to train in order to achieve high results. And don’t make mistakes like some players who haven’t played a hero for almost 1 year, but pick him up on the TI and lose miserably.
Yeah i remember that on which typing some "?" after a winning game then it would really be something that could really be that provoking but well they do really ends up on having karma on which they
had been avenged by GG which they had been swept on the floor on 2-0 game as if its like that it is really just like some sort of turbo game. lol

We can see on this vid about that Pure's drama with AR
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8q5VZe5vTk

Totally that interesting but still no Chinese team for this years TI. They do really lvoe to choke specially on semifinals. hehe


Who are you rooting for?

[/center]

The International turned out to be interesting and unusual.
Chinese teams were not the same as they always were - they made a lot of mistakes, and their team (for example LGD) was not a single whole, as is often the case with Chinese teams.
But Team Spirit showed the highest level of play, especially Yatoro, whom I will never stop praising. For the first time in the world there was a player with such an impudent, smart, fast playing style. His morphing is a nightmare for any enemy!
It was a great TI.
As long there would be Yatoro + Collapse then it would really be just that hard to beat them up. They are really that worthy of 2nd time champion. Wondering if they could 3peat on next years.

Do you believe that someone who exclusively uses cash for their purchases rather than credit cards is demonstrating financial literacy? Many argue that people tend to be financially reckless when using credit cards, often forgetting that it involves borrowing money. In various Netflix TV shows depicting individuals in debt seeking advice from financial advisors, the most consistent suggestions for getting out of debt are usually to cut up their credit cards and transition to making cash payments.

Individuals who avoid using credit cards tend to have a higher probability of being debt-free, showcasing financial discipline, and experiencing greater satisfaction compared to those reliant on credit cards. What are your thoughts on this stance?
Having credit cards isnt bad as long you are really just that responsible about on how you do spend and also it do really outweighs the risks or its cons via its benefits.It is really just turns out that people would really be focusing that much about its negative.There would really be that no negative if you are really just that responsible on paying up your dues and not really just that going overdue or wont mind on repaying it out.
Also come in mind that we could really be taking advantage on having CC considering that you could really be able to make some fast cash if  you are in need which it is way more better rather than on getting some loan into some people which interest is really that high and never been worth but if someone who do sees that CC's are really that huge problems then it isnt really that bad that they would get rid of it specially
if they have seen or having those bad experiences in the past then it would really be ideal that they should gonna do on whats right.

For me then i would be seeing that CC are really that a great help since not all the time we do have fiat into our pockets on which there would really be moments or times that you would
really be needing it up and it is really that a life saver but of course you should really be a responsible payor for you not to have those kind of problems.
610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between Profit And Conscience on: October 30, 2023, 09:23:20 PM
First I would like to state that Gambling is legal in our country

This is my friend's story, business is not good in my friend's store which he owns the location is highly commercial but he cannot compete with the large and popular groceries nearby so he decided to stop operation and just offer to lease or rent it.

Because of the location a lottery agent who has a license approached him and is looking for a good place to set up his lottery, my friend's place is very much suited because there's no lotto outlet in that place, and with so many people coming and going and the fact that lotto is very popular in our country, the agent wants to lease at a very good price and a share of the income of the lotto.

He thinks that with the lotto outlet, he will encourage people to gamble which is against his morals so it is a battle between his conscience and the profit.

So what's the best decision to take he is afraid if he lets go of this opportunity the lotto agent will eventually find a location in their place and eventually lose the opportunity to make a profit.
The only one that can decide what to do is your friend, if I was in that position I would have no problem with letting a gambling related business to lease my property as I am a gambler myself and gambling is legal where I live, so I have no emotional or moral issue that will make me reject such a deal, and when it comes to other people being encouraged to gamble I simply do not believe this, the people that want to gamble do so, and the ones that do not want to do it avoid it without any problem, so this idea that allowing a business to set shop on your property encourages people to gamble seems too self-important to me and makes no sense.
Really hard to make out some advise which we know that it could really be just having two choice whether he would really be just simply rejecting out that belief of his and continue to make income of  that rented space or would really be just trying to tell that agent on finding to look for another place. Honestly, it would really be just that a complete waste if you do really just that let that opportunity slip because if you do see that there's really tons of people who do come with that lottery business then it would really be just that wise that you should really be giving priorities into the money you do make and not really that minding much about your
belief just because you do see gambling is bad and spreading out gambling activity on your place isnt your thing. Its true that the only person who could really make such decision is his friend.
If you do sees out that your conscience would really be that always knocking up inside then its wise to let it go because we know that its never been that so easy on trying out to hide up things
and looks just fine but deep inside you are really having those doubts and anxiety in regarding on the decision that you do have made.
611  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: October 30, 2023, 08:46:28 PM
This happens in different ways for different people, there are people who are able to independently master new material very well, of course, for such people it will not make much difference whether they study the subject of interest on their own or not. But there are those who can stop at elementary points and without outside help they will not be able to move further, or will master this subject relatively poorly.

I tend to think that the average person will get better results if they work with a tutor than if they study the material on their own. It also depends on how high-quality material they can find for study. I think that if you want, you can find almost everything that might be interesting to you.
Depends on the person of course, I personally prefer to learn it by myself without a tutor but if you think that others would have easier time with a tutor then you could be right, I am not going to argue against that. My point was that you are learning from someone else one way or another, if you have a mentor then that mentor is explaining to you how you should trade and what things mean, but if you are "learning by yourself" then you might be watching a youtube video of someone, isn't that also learning from someone else too?

I would guess that in either case you are learning from someone else anyway, so I would rather find the material that I like to find and then study that instead of being limited by some mentor who would teach only his way that worked for him, because what may have worked for someone may not work for me at all.

It's better to have no limitations on your studying because it would result with different opinions and you will have the chance to pick whichever fits you better, after finding that one which fits you and your character the best then you will start trying to build something that could make some return and could be a greater profit in the end for you.
You are right on which each of us does have that different kind of acts and different kind of learning progress whether is through our nature or something that we are really that fast learners.We cant really be able to deny that there are really indeed people who are really that fast when it comes on learning things and there are ones who are slow no matter how long they've been doing trading. There's no way that we could really be able to rush things up on learning trading on which there are indeed people who do tend to make shortcuts but ending up on failure because there's no such way or method that you could really be able to fasten up the process on which learning trading is never been simple in the first place. You would really be needing that sufficient time and effort for you to be able to have a good grasps into it or else then you would really be definitely to sustain yourself within this market.

It could be depending whether it would be taking several months, a year or a couple of years on which it would really be that varying on how fast a certain person would be able to know or learn about it.
It is really just that there would really be that those people who are fast learners and there are ones which are slow. The important thing on here is that you dont really that
make yourself in a rush on learning things because this is where mistakes will commonly be starting on.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The International 12 [Dota 2, eSport] discussion thread on: October 30, 2023, 10:59:15 AM
Team Spirit is just too strong. A 3-0 streak for lifting that aegis. I thought that the 3rd game will be GG's but it's not. Drachyo was the problem and maybe he's already exhausted with all of these games. They've been with the most matches on this playoffs coming from the lower bracket and maybe he's just caught up with that. But I don't think that's really a problem because the thing here is, Team Spirit is just too strong. They're on their prime and all of their games were consistent, hands up to them. The team is well coordinated and that's why the matter of playing with synchronization and communication can change the result of the game. Having said with the last game, it seems that they're about to lose because GG has got the momentum but there is something wrong with them because they can't even take advantage of their lead. While Team Spirit is taking their recovery, yatoro's ck and collapse's spirit breaker has always been consistent with their farms despite the situation isn't favorable to them. We've got now another 2-time TI champion, Team Spirit although they've got a replacement of their roster but only one coming from TorontoTokyo to Larl. Larl also did well, he's even the one to lift the aegis because the other 4 has already lifted theirs in the past. Well done, this TI is now done and we've got a new hero Ringmaster. I am waiting for more tournaments again although it's not going to be TI this time, but there are more to come before this year ends. And the most awaited one, the gossips for most teams and switching of roster and players/teams.
I do also thought that game 3 would really be on GG but it turns out they didnt close up the game early and did really make the game more longer and giving up more space and time for yatoro to farm which we do know that if we do speak about pos1 carry then we do know that this guy is the best among the rest. Leave him on a few minutes then those main items are already that been formed and came out on the map which it would really be making out that surprise. I do also commend on Collapse did really make big contribution in overall 3 games and to those supports including Miposhkas treant. Providing vision even on just walking on the trees
does really give out that huge advantage when it comes to vision plus having that Spirit Breakers annoying skills on game 3 which did make that kind of tilt. GG is good but wont really be that enough
on taking down Team spirit. Just like been said that when it comes to execution of skills and good communication in between members then you could really see that they could really be able to play in harmony or synchronized manner. There's no error you could see, although there are some mistakes but it is really just that minimal. Decision making and smart plays is really that crucial on which
TS did really deserve that back-2-back champion same as OG.

Yes, I agree with your last few words, if we really have great determination, we will definitely know how to pursue these opportunities and we will definitely be smart in sharing referral links to get new user and if we share them in trading groups, the steps are very clear. wrong, but if we are intelligently able to see the potential in particular place that allows us to get new users in large numbers, we can try to share referral links in special gambling groups and use attractive images that can attract new users to register using our referrals.
Referral program is one of the lucrative passive means of generating income through gambling and if tou have the determination and focus to build your team you will definitely be in a good position on monthly basis, but note that that passive income may not be easy to come by and at some point tou may have to go the extra length to make that happen, I have seen a person who engage in referral activities often time ditching out tips to those who registered under him for them to be able to wager may so as for him to earn more income at the end of the month.
Referral program can be lucrative but it can also be stressful if we don't know how to find our way to get referrals. There are people who do not know or have who to refer but what they do is to drop links on social media to invite people that will use the link and join the casino.

This is not a good approach because it is going to be difficult for us to get reliable people that are ready to link on any link they see on social media and join the site to gamble. It only take serious convincing for people to decide to register on a casino and bet especially when they have not used the casino before unless it is a trusted people that had good reputation or an influencer with plenty followers.
Totally stressful and its not for everyone yet even hooking up a single person to sign under your link would already be that tough. How much more if you are planning to take advantage or making money with ref earnings?Pretty sure you would really be needing up that effort and time for you to deal up with something like this if you would really be needing to be effective on which means that the ones who are really that capable on taking advantage is into those influencers or to those who do have lots of followers on which spreading up your link and take advantage with it would really be that simpler. We do know that not all are really that having good number of followers on which means they wouldnt really be caring at all on trying out to convince on people on having some sign up.

Ref bonuses arent that a waste of time if you do really just know on how to market your link but its true that bonuses or amounts wont really be that something that would be worth.
Even myself doesnt really have that kind of interest  on ref earnings which it is really just that peanuts and also it is really that a hassle thing on this one yet
i do only visit out gambling for the sake of fun and past time.

614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have we seen the lowest low of this bear market? on: October 29, 2023, 08:58:31 PM
Since the FTX crash I listened a lot to Gareth Soloway and Nicholas Merten from Datadash. Both expected lower lows. Soloway even expected BTC to get under 10k at some point. With the recent price rise I'm a bit worried that the ship has sailed. In his most recent video he no longer mentioned these lows. He even mentioned a 50k possibility for this year.

What are your thoughts? How big of a price rise do you expect if an ETF gets approved?
And is a scenario of World War III (Israel + USA + NATO vs an alliance of Islamic countries) bullish or bearish?

As long we arent that still on halving period then all the possibilities of that bottom price could really still happen. We dont know if that 15k is already the bottom but since we are fast approaching on halving season then
it is likely that we are already able to hit that bottom and making this gradual increase in price but everything would really be still vary because there's still tons of things that could happen along the way while we are really that sailing on or hovering with the market which it could really make out such impact and might really having that last crash before the bull season. We dont know if it could actually happen on this cycle or not
yet there's no way on telling if it would be..

If you are really that having those hunches and could really have that risks taking then you could really be able to wait up for that dump but ofcourse it cant really be denied
that you would really be having those kind of doubts and thinking that what if this is the price bottom? There's no one could be able to tell and this is where
this market is really that truly unpredictable.

Final day is HERE!!!

Gamin Gladiators vs LGD is ongoing. Who are your TI champions?
Kind of misled about your comment here, Gladiator vs LGD is just the finals for the lower bracket. Whoever wins in the lower bracket will meet the TS in the grand finals of the tournament.

Currently watching the game of GG vs LGD, game 1 was a very close game but LGD kind of outdrafted with only Luna dealing descent damage from the chinese team, however they've got a chance to comeback but GG killed Luna without a buyback. Now on game 2, feels like it's a one sided game against LGD, their heroes are more of late game, unlike the GG that can be gods in early and late. I'm rooting for GG vs TS in the grand finals.

Who's your pick, TS or GG?  Grin

LGD has been dropped and beaten up by GG so easily which i could say that Chinese teams cant really show off their dota plays with GG which it turns out that they've really just that been played out so easily.
We can see on how GG did beat up AR and then LGD next which it do really shows that it isnt really that a challenge specially with their drafts which we could say that it is really that out of meta.
Now on that Game 2 of LGD vs GG then Quinn QOP is really that giving that big contribution on disrupting LGD positioning because of that good sonic waves and also that last clash
on which they have those mistakes made by the chinese team on which there's a nice RP with Magnus but ended up by Naga to have that song which it totally disconnects that overall combo which
it is really that a crucial mistake and this what makes this game closed down easily.

Now we are seeing GG vs TS on the finals then i would really be rooting for GG, but lets see on how TS would really be able to adapt out on how GG would be playing.
Totally excited for this finals which we know that TS and GG team are indeed the strongest among the bunch. Both teams are really worth to be called champions.

In short, there's no way on knowing that without even trying and this is why it would really be that always recommended that you should really be that mindful about those potential drawbacks and potential positive results and its true that it would really be that neither be making something or breaking something. If you cant really be able to bare up such risks then better not to engage with it but if you are that someone whose really that willing to take that act for you to be abel to have that kind of chance then it would really be just normal that  you would really be doing such act or decision.

Snipped

From your topic and what you given, through the discussion, you're saying that it's good to take risk and also avoid taking much of it when we seek in for knowledge, yet your title is talking more on risky adventure to avoid, but we all know that if there must be a successful business enterprise, then we must take risk, in trading, either you like it or not you still must take risk, not because we don't know about it, but because in other to make us approved for the success achievement we aimed at in what we do while trading.
A matter of choice since not all people would really be that willing or really that prepared on taking up such risks and rather they would really be tending to play safe or going into things
which are really that indeed less risky.  We know that even on living on this world and decisions to be made does involved risks and this is where you should really be that wary
about it. Decisions to be made would really be having that corresponding effect and this is where decision making would really be that crucial.
617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Instagram Banned Bitcoin on: October 28, 2023, 06:59:32 PM
Instagram had been used as a marketing tool by most of the scammers. Whenever we see a post from a popular person and the below comments could all be flown with I made so and so using this much of capital and connected with a URL. This is what happening in the Instagram for a long. Maybe those could've have caused many users loss their holdings.

Instagram is just a memory making platform where users have got access to add regular photos and after years while they look it back it reminds of old days. With more and more features getting added to it, users started using it for different purposes. This is where the management would've decided to end the bitcoin related posts and allowing the shitcoins.
That's actually the top 1 reason. Meta stated that this is to protect the users from scams. Bitcoin becoming more popular and being advertised as an easy way to make a profit out of your investment. There should have multiple reports of scams that's why they have taken action by adding a restriction when it comes to promoting Bitcoin. As I see it, this is for the safety of the users to avoid exposure to fraud/Ponzi schemes.

Exactly, a platform that should be for posting a photo of your daily activities and such but getting used as a channel to promote fraud/scams. How people use Instagram is not aligned with how it was designed. Many people are taking advantage of promoting on Instagram as it can easily be seen by a lot of people.
Cryptocurrency-related advertisements are also banned on Facebook/Meta; it's quite reasonable and no surprise to see why they prohibit anything Bitcoin-related on Instagram too. It's not like it makes any difference, who bothers with cryptocurrency discussions on Instagram. However, I highly doubt that Meta actually cares about their users. I'm seeing a double standard here if we suppose that cryptocurrency advertisements were banned due to the large number of scams, since Facebook is filled with fake advertisements posing as a large corporation that is handing out free or extremely discounted products. Fake Temu ads have been popping up like crazy the past few months.

However, I'm now reading that the ban on cryptocurrency-related services was reversed in 2021 and instead has some relatively strict requirements. Although I don't recall seeing any featuring cryptos for quite a while, Perhaps I've seen it on Binance or Crypto.com, two of the most well-known exchanges, but I wouldn't take my word for granted

https://cryptobriefing.com/facebook-reverses-crypto-ad-ban/
Banning wont really be that shocking anymore on which platforms could neither be that allowing crypto related ads or post but doesnt mean that they are really that against with it, there are really that post or things involved with scams on which it would be normal that they would really be moderating for potential scams and just for the sake of peoples safety which it isnt bad. When it comes to decisions something like this then i dont really see for it to be that an issue because crypto community wouldn't really be caring at all because we been through lots of bans and restrictions but the price didnt really that go down hard.
There's always that recognitoin, it might be having some temporal dips but we know that in the end of the day, it would really be that going that low on which it wont really be that
shocking anymore.

They can ban all the ywant but pretty sure those effects wont really be that long lasting. If the price would dip because of ban news but it would really be making out some recovery
later on, on which its not really that shocking because community is really that strong and really that being supportive on what Bitcoin is really that making.
Banning is not new but doesnt mean that there would really be no u-turn on the future, lets see if they would really be making up such opposite decision.

Long breaks usually don't make sense to me, too. I get that players need to rest in order to be in top form for the games, but they are losing the drive and the hype as the days go by. During their down time, they can study other teams' gameplay and perhaps craft some nice strategies and hopefully it translates to their games. These players need to relax, too, but extra long breaks doesn't really make sense in this kind of competition.

Well it does make sense to me because if it wasnt because of the breaks then I'd believe most games will end up with favourites to win which is kinda boring in this type of tournament. Aside from that by creating this breaks, Valve will be forcing fans to stay in the city which means this would also help the city on tourism aspect although not by much but atleast the crowd will need to pay for all those hotels and food



Anyway, back to the game. Im expecting BB to win 2-0 but currently they are struggling in the 2nd map  Roll Eyes
----

Having long breaks or not, favorite would be still favorite and this is why i do agree that having too long would really be breaking that hype but well its their own management who had decided such set up but still it is really just still that fine considering that crowd is still there and hype is still there but not really that much if we do compare on previous TI's or it is really just that me. About tourism then it would really be that something significant but not all people who had been in the venue would really be able to stay that long but its impossible that they wont really be that be able to make those schedules knowing that it was given earlier.

Still a win and congrats to that, BB did really struggle despite of having Mega creeps yet they cant easily push or finish i up because of Muerta which damage is really that indeed painful and could wipe them on.
The game closes is on the time that Muerta did purchase that 3 Rapiers and planning  to have that rat Dota strategy on top barracks using up with that Kunka X-mark but ended up on getting killed.
Mid clash was their final and that Dark Willow with DR closes up the game on using Shadow Realm + Divine = GG.

619  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why has Bitcoin skyrocketed recently? on: October 27, 2023, 09:57:08 PM
You could read up from these articles, might be the same headline but sentiment could really differ a bit
depending on the article. Just take a peak on reading up.

https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-soars-as-blackrock-moves-closer-to-launching-spot-bitcoin-etf/
https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/10/25/bitcoins-rise-fuelled-by-us-investors-buying-ahead-of-potential-spot-etf-approval-matrixport/
https://www.reuters.com/technology/bitcoin-leaps-2023-high-etf-bets-2023-10-24/

As we can see then it would really be all pertaining about that ETF potential approval and this is where the community been eyeing.
Bitcoin or crypto market doesnt usually reacts with external reasons but it turns out to be completely different as of this year
on which these sentiments turns out to be significant already.
The weirdest thing is that they are not even getting accepted. I am not saying it would never be, just that there is no extra added reason why it should be accepted at this point, we could definitely see a point where it may not be all that crazy. I believe that we are going to end up with something that would benefit a ton if it really happens but it is not happening at this point.

So the question we need to ask, if the ETF didn't get approved now, why would it go up now? It should go up when the approval comes in, and it is not coming in anytime soon, not like for another month and probably even later. So, it is basically just a rumor that made the price go up this much and that's not really a good reason but as long as it is higher, I am happy, no matter what the reason is.
This what makes this market unpredictable on which even if the situation is pretty obvious but it totally goes opposite on what are the effects that its been showing.Its true that it wasnt still that been approved but turns out that the market do make out some significant jump to its price  even if its not really that still approved.How much more if its approved? We do know that sentiments could really be ended up on being positive or negative.This is why if you do see or notice that the market is really having that positive vibe or momentum then it would really be just that wise that you should really be taking advantage.

You can't expect any inside story ever popping up about bitcoin, I am pretty sure that those who has that aren't tattletale about it if there really is an inside story. And to quell your wonder, you just have to look at the history of the bitcoin price this month to know that this is a pretty month for bitcoin combine that with the ongoing Bitcoin ETF stuff then it's not a wonder anymore, the magician's trick revealed sort of.
What is this? A skyrocket for ants?
OP probably hasn't seen bitcoin price go this high this fast, probably a total newbie.
This is what im trying to say on which it turns out that if you are someone who doesnt really have that enough experience or awareness into this market then you would really be having
this kind of reaction on which you would really be shocked that the market is really that somewhat odd? You havent seen those rollercoaster like ride in the past.
We arent still something into those movements in the past or simple we arent on that exciting part.  Cheesy

✅nouns🆚Gaimin Gladiators: Gamin Gladiators -1.5, 1.55

I've already locked in my picks for today with : BB to win , NOUNS to take 1 map and Liquid to win.

I still believe that Nouns can take one map away from GG because they already did it in Group stages so I think Gunnar will find to put his team in a decent spot to take 1 map. Then , I think Liquid has the best idea of how to approach Dota draft right now but Spirit will put up a fight for sure and I do see this series going to 3 maps.

nouns are out of TI. GG crushed them basically 2-0, very easy and fast. I think BetBoom is almost a sure win and Liquid vs Spirit will surely be interesting. I'll write my predictions about next 2 matches soon!
Expected of GG, but honestly i have mad out bets on that TI winner of "dark horse" nouns which it ended up on 1st day of this main event.  Cheesy
Totally one sided, as for this moment which BB vs VP then i do also see for it to be one sided two on which being dominated by BB, if we do tend to look at the history
which BB is always 2-0 against VP(BB ahead) on which it would really be the same as of this moment.  Cheesy
