81  Economy / Speculation / Re: After the dip in crypto, when are we expecting ath? on: April 28, 2024, 01:41:26 PM
Never invest when the market is on a bull run.
Many are doing this. They don't want to invest during the bear market because they're not convinced that the market will be healthy after the bear market. So, their conclusion is they invest during the bull run because the market is active again.

Because skilled investors always wait for the market to go down.  I think you have invested in ATH level.  However you should not panic if you review the past history of Bitcoin ATH, it can be seen that the price of Bitcoin increased quite a few days after the halving.  Actually no one can say how long that time is.  In this case if your money is lazy then you can wait.  If you get scared and sell low, you will suffer later.  If the quality of your coin is good then you can succeed for a time. And you can stay cool by skipping daily market rate.  Like you, I am also invested.  I hope for better things to come.
It's also not hidden anymore that there have been investors that have bought during the peak of the bull, so they're ATH investors.

That's hard for them to recover when they have no idea if the next bull run will be more than the price they've bought it and its the peak like on 2021 investors.

Ohh , I think I slowly become a hater of OG Dota 2 team as this team really didn't deserve to be on this ESL tournament but somehow they got invited and now they are kinda ruin the experience for teams who actually had to qualify. I really hope Falcons will give them a quick 2-0 and send them home and hopefully we will never see situations like this were a favorite team gets invited just because is popular...
It is 2-1 for Team Falcons. To be honest, the last map was a great one and it's a real defense of the ancients when OG has put everything to defend the tree but still not enough.

Doing a reverse polarity to doom and mars and then skewering them on the fountain with another refreshed RP, it's still not enough.

GG and well done to Team Falcons, they're secured now as top 3 and will be facing Tundra Esports.
83  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you increasing your bitcoin investments because of today halving ? on: April 27, 2024, 01:20:35 PM
But if you guys have money Buying bitcoin now is still worth I mean the ATH is around 70K ish and I believe it could go higher at the end of 2024
It can be higher for this year or by 2025. Whichever is going to come first, it doesn't matter because we're basing it on the past cycles and the possibility is high to see another ATH. However, we've already seen a new one pre-halving at $73k.

And with that pre-halving ATH, there's a chance that will be higher than that.

But, do you guys are sensing the feeling of others that they're saying that the pre-halving ATH was the ATH that we're all waiting for? Because it's different this time but I'm more bullish than of those speculations that they're saying.
84  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you restaking wBTC right now? on: April 27, 2024, 08:00:02 AM
As much as it is interesting and rewarding to stake wBTC because BTC doesn't have a staking mechanism and we're seeing exchanges offer deposit interest rates from BTC deposits. I don't want to convert my BTC into wBTC because de-pegging is a risk and I don't want to get into it.

In exchanges, they're saying that it's staking BTC for you to earn interest but it's not really staking at all. You're lending them your BTC in the form of deposits and you're sacrificing the ownership of your BTC because you have no keys after you deposit on them.

In return, they're giving you few amount of interest rates that they earn from your BTC just like the banks but the risk is there as well. And that is if a hacking incident happens to them or gives you trouble to withdraw and asks you a lot of verifications with your own money before you take it back.
85  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blogs and Forums. Additional Features in Online Casinos on: April 26, 2024, 08:22:46 PM
Do you by chance consider these features when assessing and selecting which casinos to join and play on?
I'd say more of their community than of the blogs and forums. But a forum that is built through other means especially here, that's already an established one is better.

While the others that are starting to build their own reputation and community to start with, they're having a hard time but those that are able to gain trust from the community really differ on how they're going to market themselves.

Why market? It's normal to market still those features that they have for their users to know the existence of features that they have.

Try sportsbetting and see it for yourself and not with your friends. You're looking for something enjoyable and at the same time you're going to have more chance of winning.

I haven't heard about fortune tiger but if you're good with that, you can stay while trying to learn how sportsbetting works.

You don't have to listen to your friends at all times as if they'll be the ones to be followed with your gambling decisions. Explore if you can and if it doesn't work for you to, then stop.
87  Economy / Economics / Re: World price tag on every product. on: April 25, 2024, 01:49:06 PM
The world has gotten to that point in which every product should have a particular price is been sold for.
A product that is been sold for $5 in USA should also be sold for $5 in Canada and China, this way it will help the world leaders to remove hunger in the world, it will also help grow the economy of every country because countries can buy product from one another at a better price, this method will really help in reducing suffering in the world because hunger is one of man's major problem.
The world leaders should sit and implement this policy every product will be given a price that will be comfortable to every common man in different countries of the world.
It is impossible, don't forget about logistics. There's a cost for transferring goods and products and that's why if it's cheap somewhere else, and then it becomes more expensive elsewhere due to the transportation cost of it.

This is the reason why those self-sustaining countries and those that have food security are enjoying the benefits of their own.

Their people don't have any problem with the rising inflation because even it's happening globally, they can stand onto their own economy and doesn't need to import those products that they need to consume.

You haven't included the article so here it goes: Middle East Records 166% Surge in Crypto Adoption, UAE Leads

The capital emirate of UAE which is Dubai has got a lot of interest from the crypto companies like from the exchanges. They're also the center there for crypto events and gatherings.

Signed up, deposited 0.2ETH won a bit then withdrew 0.5858 ETH.
KYC'd on withdrawal, which I completed on April 6th with no real issues.
They then said it would take 10 business days to review this, I emailed them 15 days later as they didn't update me, they instantly ask for source of funds documents.

I would not recommend playing here, there is better places to play and I believe they are asking for all this information to delay paying customers.
I am going to send my pay stub tomorrow when I get into work and if they keep asking for more documents / refusing to pay I will post here again.
As explained by the rep, I think that your case is now finally done and you're able to withdraw your money. Most casinos nowadays are forced to ask this to customers because they're complying with the laws of the government where they operate.

Only a few of them now aren't asking for it but for small amounts. And those that are even known not to ask it, are also asking in the same case.

Confirmed!
I have received the prize, it's an instant payout!
Congratulations to you and everyone who won.

Nope, Talon is on the verge of being eliminated so it seems that they're not going to make it to the playoffs. Their first map against Team Falcons is a lose.

So, if they're going to lose against Team Falcons on their 2nd map then they're already eliminated and Team Falcons is the one that will proceed to the lower bracket of the playoffs.

As for Heroic, they're doing good. Their match later will be up against OG, so whether they lose 2 games or win 2 more games, they're already in for the playoffs.
The 2-0 came in for Team Falcons as expected, and it looks like they'll have a three-way tiebreaker with Team Liquid and BetBoom once the remaining series are done.

On the other group, Gaimin Gladiators got their first 2-0 win against Heroic of all teams. With how the other series are starting to shape up we could see a three-way tiebreaker for the lower bracket spot.

I guess these teams need to be on the verge of elimination to start performing well.  Tongue
You're right about Team Falcons, Team Liquid and BetBoom. They've got a tie breaker but this three-way tie breaker led to all lose to Team Liquid.

So, BetBoom vs Team Liquid = BB

and then

Team Falcons vs Team Liquid = Team Falcons

And this tiebreaker even made Team Falcons at the top of group A after they were likely on the verge of getting eliminated if Talon ever won to them twice.

Whilst on group B, they also have a tiebreaker but Gaimin Gladiators is already eliminated. So all of the remaining teams except OG are in the tiebreaker.

Obviously good health is more important than any amount of money. Successful investments can really help you enjoy a  happier life though so I urge you to invest in Bitcoin. DCA in every month for many years & at retirement age you will have a considerable nest egg to enjoy life.
I agree. There are a lot of people that have a lot of investments and money but they can't be saved by their wealth because of their health conditions.

And if you happen to invest and you're having good health and living your life to the fullest then you're better than most of people. Being alive, have a good health condition and at the same time has investments.

There is no need to wait, do it now.
Definitely, the best time to invest was a few years ago and then the second time is now.

I'm impressed that Talon is holding up so far, but the only time I needed them to win a map against BetBoom they gave away both maps. 🤦‍♂️
I've watched their match. That first map, I thought with that clapping of Akashi is like a sure win to them but that's just all about how excited he was playing meepo. But with that 0-2 against Betboom, Talon was able to beat twice G2.IG

And for BetBoom, they're able to win 4-0 today and they beat Shopify Rebellion with a 2-0 too.

Heroic is doing great on these first two days. For Falcons, they need to win 2-0 against Talon tomorrow or else, they're surely at the bottom.
So it would be best to place a combination of Talon Esports and Heroic?
Due to I always seeing Heroic winning everytime I go to check the matches of the day since last week.

But to give you more idea, not every team that performs well on the group stages do well in the playoffs.

94  Economy / Economics / Re: Your aging and retirement plan is your responsibility. on: April 23, 2024, 12:20:46 PM
Every retirement opportunity, we have to take it and prepare for it. Because while we're strong right now, we don't know what will happen in the future.

We have no idea if we still have the strength to carry on and keep going on with our employment. That's why we need to be wise in preparation of our retirement plans and investments as well.

If you're very well fortunate and you've got all the means to invest, enjoy and save your money. You're one of the few that will have no problem with your future but again, you don't know what might happen in the next day so prepare for it because no one is there to help you out but only you.

That's right, once we work or earn money, we should also prepare for our retirement, we should not only focus on investment and savings because we are not sure how long we will have the opportunity to earn money. It's hard because if our retirement is only dependent on our children in the future, let's stop that mindset, we ourselves should manage and prepare for that because our children will also have their own lives and own family so they shouldn't be forced to do that kind of thing for you.
Actually, investing and savings are part of retirement and that's also part of the preparation that we're doing. And with your investments, you'll choose what's going to help you set for life and you should be wise on it.

If you're into opportunities that are short term then you have to make sure that you shouldn't miss any of them when there's a chance to make a profit.

And you don't forget to help but before anything else, you have to help yourself first and establish those ways of making money before you become too generous to other people.

But I've seen people believing about being generous is also blessing them back but, you don't have to give all of it because again, going to the main reason why you're working hard, investing and saving a lot and that's because for your retirement.
95  Economy / Economics / Re: Your aging and retirement plan is your responsibility. on: April 23, 2024, 10:49:19 AM
I came from a society where majorities are not bothered about their retirement plans, Some do have the financial resources but due because of financial revenue opportunities, they feels so reluctant and comfortable without considering that depending on the government opportunities could get to an end somedays. I don't know if they ever have the picture imaginarily about how their old ages times would be.

While I've come way too far thinking about this as I also goes around the towns and sees old people aging so helplessly as they're vulnerable, I fear not to be in such situations so then, I'm striving on making positive differences.
I've decided to have a diverse of my bitcoin investment for my retirement purpose.
At some points in life, you don't expect to be thought lessions before you could learn but you can learn from others experiences.

96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game? on: April 22, 2024, 11:35:03 PM
With the convenience provided by online gambling, we can play it anytime and anywhere. Online gambling can indeed make someone very addicted.

Where I live, gambling is an illegal activity and is often considered a negative activity, so it is very rare to do offline gambling, gathering in a certain place to play card gambling. I very rarely do they do that. But when it comes to online gambling, especially young people, many people are involved in this activity. And it is even impossible that today young people are not familiar with online gambling. Online gambling is like mushrooms spreading everywhere and many people are trapped in this activity. In fact, my country is one of the countries with the largest number of online gamblers in the world.
Those people that are in a country where gambling is restricted or illegal, you've got have a better way to treat it as a modern entertainment because it's just going to be for fun.

But those that are in countries that it isn't illegal, they're more prone into becoming addicted to it. That's why the location where we at are also a big factor.

When it seems to be a norm for majority of the locality or neighborhood then, there's a likely that you'll get attracted as well because of the crowd attention that's given to it.

Trust but having every moves suspicious would actually save us some regrets of time.
Just trust no one if it's about wallets, crypto balances, etc. Whether you're new or not, don't trust anybody because if you've seen the news in the past.

There have been incidents that they're attacked with a $5 wrench and the other were even worst. Got kidnapped because they know that you've got some crypto money.

Actually, your problem is easier because it's on the exchange and all you have to do if you've got concerned is to contact the exchange to do the help for you.

So, all of the possibilities that will be threatening to you because you've already disclosed that you're holding some funds there could happen to you.
98  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much interest do you earn from your USDT? on: April 22, 2024, 08:21:33 PM
Can anyone help explain to me my staking and keeping the USDT in an exchange is better than just buying promising assets like Bitcoin and just waiting it out until the market pumps.
I think it has a dual purpose, having that preparedness when the dip comes and your USDT is ready to purchase those cheaper Bitcoins or any coin that you prefer to buy.

At the same time, it gives that interest rate for just doing nothing and depositing it to their earn product that gives the depositor flexibility and can withdraw any moment they wish to.
Have you heard of the savings blast on Bitget though? The criteria to participate is simple, you need to subscribe to any of the platform's earn product with an amount within the range of $100 or more.

The offer is available to 800 users and it is based on FCFS, you'd look this up.
Not yet but I know that most centralized exchanges have their own offers like that. As for that exchange, I think that the better gain is through their own token.

So if it's with that savings blast, is it requiring to have USDT or their token to deposit there? And if it's only available to 800 users, with a lot of users there, I doubt that there's still some slot.
99  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: April 21, 2024, 11:41:51 PM
I think these influencers must know their target audience before accepting the offer or should not be included in their blogs or videos?
It's odd when an influencer's content isn't gambling then suddenly it's been attached with some gambling ads at the end of their videos. Yeah, they should know their audience and that's why the casino that wants to advertise on them has that metric of theirs.

But in these ages of social media, they'll just accept whatever they can earn with even it's going to be a problem for a lot of audiences that are viewing their content.

AFAIK, they're paid per video and they're earning a lot from it so, there's no screening anymore and they'll just continue it.

I do have some friend who even lost money trying to stake on platforms that filed for bankruptcy during the bear market, like Celsius network.
That's the risk of it and with these exchanges, although they have other services it's also possible to happen to these known cexes.
