681  Economy / Economics / Crypto: a place where everyone makes money, but few secure it on: January 09, 2024, 01:35:22 PM
I was reading coinconfessions, and it occurred to to me that most of those who are in crypto go through a phase where they make lots of money, but eventually lose it all or most of it due to wrong decisions taken due to having lack of financial knowledge.

Some start fresh with lessons learned and make it back, for some having huge unexpected money come and gone creates a downward spiral that they feel hard to get out of, almost like they were better off not having this unexpected wealth come in first place.

I just came across this Twitter handle and found it pretty relevant and entertaining. You might too: https://twitter.com/coinfessions

Feel free to comment if something hits you right in the feels and you feel like commenting upon It; it surprises me how relevant some of confessions were to me, and how we are all pretty much same.

Today Shami was awarded Arjuna award for his performance in wc 2023. Video here.

He deserves it! He was exceptional in the ODIWC, it is not that easy to take the most number of wickets in the ICC tournament.

..and that too after having been excluded from first few games. Injury of Pandya became blessing in disguise.

snip..
Another surprise for me was the inclusion of Jitesh Sharma in the squad. He has been pathetic with the bat in the concluded Australia T20 series, why was he again called? When you have wc like KL Rahul why you should test someone like this guy? If you are unable to bat in home condition how would you bat when you go to play abroad? The only reason he might have been chosen is because the series is against Afghanistan.

Playing against Afghanistan is likely reason why new players are getting chances. However, I wouldn't call Jitesh's performance pathetic against Australia, in that series he was given chance in last two matches and whenever he came to the crease he made quick runs for the team, and this is what his position demands, not many runs but valuable ones. In 4th match he made 35(19) and in 5th 24(16).

YONO is pretty bad and I used them too because SBI as my first bank account like most of the Indian residents and 6/10 times the payments will be failed due to server error and for a government bank with such large userbase not given proper resource like HDFC or ICICI do.

As far as information from SBI employees go, they paid a lot of money to TCS to develop this app and look at what sort of a app they ended up with. From the outside it looks good but inside its buggy and not adopted to modern smartphones. Often goes on maintenance over weekends and server crashes are nothing new.

Indian government needs to hire quality developers as in the one hired by Paytm, Jupiter, DBS and such. All of government apps and banking apps (Except DBS) I have come across outright suck that I'd rather prefer to use their services through third party apps.

TCS is infamous for making petty apps, yet companies keep delegating development tasks to them.

Virat is important but he is not made for T20. To date RCB has never won an IPL trophy. He is not a captain product as he was one of the worst captain for India in T20. He is good with ODI and test cricket whereas he lacks the stupid expertise of T20. This format is not good for the technically good batter. This format is for the nonsense batter, who only needs timing and agressive attitude. Virat as a batter is not that agressive as compared to a fielder.

I feel he got another opportunity and he would again fail. The same goes for Rohit as these guys are not that agressive as they were when they were young. They are still holding as they grow old, they both should concentrate on other formats rather than T20.

RCB don't have whole squad on same page so they keep losing IPL, you look at current squad they have 4  top tier players (Kohli, FAF, Maxwell, Siraj and now hopefully Green will be a good addition), rest not much. You look at matches whenever RCB won, it'll be obvious that one of them played good.

Rohit- Kohli might not be aggressive as young players, but they have acceptable strike rate for T20, plus whenever these two are on crease, their mere presence helps the team. You remember how Virat got out in odi wc and how much under pressure Rahul came? Don't you see how in last test matches against SA where when Virat got out, and you felt now team is done.

Today I noticed that the previously posted link to Aevo was copied and pasted incorrectly by me. The correct link should look like this: https://app.aevo.xyz/perpetual/dym I changed the incorrect link in the original message to the correct one. For reference:

Today, DYM is trading at $4.

I'm hearing on Twitter that DYM won't be able to sustain this price and will likely dump to around $1.5 upon launch, and they are suggesting to short it on Aevo. What do y'all think?



I was better off making individual threads for airdrops, in this thread we have 3 people discussing. This is not good.
688  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Uniswap reaping people off on: January 09, 2024, 04:48:34 AM
On a centralised exchange, what you are conducting is an on-chain transaction where you don't need to pay any fee for such transactions to be completed; only the trading fee is to be charged, which is always not up to 1% of your trading amount.
 
But on Uniswap, you are interacting with the network. First, you need to approve the token for it to be available for swap on Uniswap. With that approval alone, you will be charged for the gas fee, which is on Eth. And after that, before you can confirm your swap on Uniswap, you also need to pay another fee in order for the transaction to be completed. You pay a two-time fee before you can complete a swap on Uniswap.

I'd like to add little here. You don't always have to make approve transaction if you have already approved before for that contract address. For example, if you have approved $500 before on Uniswap, then you won't have to approve again for next swap transactions worth less than or equal to $500.

One should never set unlimited approvals as, if dapp gets hacked your approved amounts will be drained, and if you approved 'unlimited' your all tokens will get drained.

I always suggest people to never approve more than requirement of that transaction but in case of chains like Ethereum, approving transactions for each trade can be expensive, especially when you make frequent trades, so for such times you can approve what you are comfortable with so you don't have to make approve transactions again and again and save some on gas fees.

In case you want to revoke, this approvals can be revoked using tools like revoke cash or etherscan revoke tool.



@op Uniswap can't rip people off cause Uniswap doesn't earn anything from trades, there is 0.3% trade fee which is distributed to liquidity providers and what you pay as gas fee goes to the ethereum validators as an incentive to validate and some is burned.

Babar Azam as I can say still the Pakistan good batsmen ,  as he played some inning which was not good for himself and his team but it didn't mean he can't play as he is a  good player also of Pakistan cricket team due to its defensive playing and due to his famous play. Also going to the top system of the Pakistani players they all are good.
I don't agree with you .In my opinion,you are not a realistic person.You are defending Pakistani International cricket team.All Pakistani players are available due to their references. Fawad Alam is classic player for test matches but Pakistani selectors didn't select him for test matches against Australia. Pakistani International test cricket team disappointed their fans and their country. Pakistani team need legendary players like Younus Khan and Fawad Alam can play a role of Younus Khan in test format but PCB have to focus on my points . Otherwise,the results will be more dangerous than today.

I have not heard of Fawad Alam, but I searched his test stats and find them quite average tbh. 19 matches, 1011 runs with average of 39. Selectors may not be selecting him due to his age also as he's already 38 years old.

His first class starts are relatively better though, may be you are basing your opinion on those?

Perth Scorchers, one of the strongest team in BBL played against Sydney Thunders today. Horrible game from Thunders, unnecessary run-outs, and some players trying to go for big shots got out instead of giving strike to Hales who was on crease for so long and playing so good.

Thunders were playing at around 8 RPR in 11th over and settled for mere 137 runs by end of their inning. Scorchers won it easily with 7 wickets in hand and 5 balls left.



Josh English plays well, it was surprising to see no one picked him up for IPL, rather franchises went for uncapped players to find wk for their teams, luck striked for those players to say the least.

Does it work on the phone right now? I've done the installation on my computer but I'm not really using my computer that much since I'm mostly at work so hopefully this is available on the phone. The phone browsers are the most notorious when it comes to that mistake that you've said and it's a frustrating feeling when you get your sentences already done halfway and your replies finished but then someone messages you or there's a notification that you need to answer then you come back only to see the webpage refreshed. I wish I could do programming like you, the stuff that I can do if only I know how to program and write code.

Yes, it does work on mobile phones with extension supported browsers, I'm not sure about IOS since I don't have IOS device, but on android there are several extension supported browsers (Kiwi/Mask/Lemur/Mises), you can search respective names on play store.

Then install Tampermonkey extension from extension store, then either paste the script manually, or just click 'install the script' in op's case.

..and you are right about reload thing, it is annoying especially on mobiles, even if mobile is capable, browsers somehow like to refresh page needlessly, this scripts saved me just minutes ago  Tongue
692  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Eight reasons why BTC will Fail. Thoughts? on: January 08, 2024, 11:59:16 AM
2. Big tech trends towards monopoly, BTC will eventually be controlled and one pool will control 51%.  Dominant pools already have emerged, which means Monoply is inevitable.  A truly decentralized system has no components that trend towards centralization.

I do not think complete decentralization is possible, where there is money involved, system will always favor the rich, and if there is no money involved, who will bother?

Quote
5. BTC has value only in it's "potential" - which creates real transient value because people want it -  but that only runs until is potential declines. It's a fad.  Like any pump and dump, the profit is in the sales.

You are right and you could argue same about every single thing in the world, i.e, a thing has value because people want it, otherwise it becomes valueless like dust. Even if Bitcoin is fad, it's going to last very long, it's offsprings are many, which will keep improving what Bitcoin has started as a technology.
693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's Your Exchange to Wallet Ratio? on: January 08, 2024, 09:47:21 AM
I have all funds in my wallet. I don't trade on centralized exchanges anymore, as almost all of them ask for kyc ('almost' word used just in case there may be exceptions). So to trade I use instant exchanges, DEXes and for leveraged trading I use perp DEXes, only con there being of smart contract hacks, otherwise decentralized alternatives just as good.

695  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Test DOP Testnet and receive Airdrop on: January 08, 2024, 05:10:14 AM
Is this testnet still available and the Airdrop with it?
I'm also concerned to know whethere you have gotten any tester from the forum. I will also suggest that you allow a campaign manager handle the testnet process to enable some degree of trust which will translate to patronage from the  forum members. These forum campaign managers have good followership and will allow for a better participation in the testing.

Yes it's still live. Don't think OP has got anything to do with DOP Project, he's probably just sharing it here, hoping he may get few referrals from here, and yes I have done the testnet tasks from OP's link, it took less than 20 minutes and were quite easy.

I hate to admit it but there are still players that are into the game and never get tired of the bs the game itself and mechanics provided.

Depends when you got in, if you remember, during early days of Axie Infinity people made huge amounts of money playing it. It's possible that they got ROI back and still playing just for fun, or some playing for fun without care for ROI at all.

You might be extra sour cause you lost money with it Tongue

the hype is dead on it again and I guess that people who have hoped that there will be a liveable gaming career through games like that will have to think again. The best way to make money into a game is becoming pro on it.

Regarding becoming professional — blockchain games don't have significant playerbase, mechanics, are short lived and often not catered for professional environment in first place.



I still see hope in blockchain gaming space. For that we are in dire requirement of feeless blockchain, often the requirement of money to play is huge roadblock in itself.

Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes team won the 29th match today by DLS Method. Brisbane Heat team scored 132 runs in 20 overs losing 7 wickets. Brisbane Heat team batsmen gave a great performance in batting. Hobart Hurricanes team scored 116 runs in 16 overs losing 9 wickets.  .Hobart Hurricanes team could not do well in bowling line and batting line due to which Hobart Hurricanes team could not win today's match.

Heat made 132, this isn't a great batting. It's miracle they won this game and DLS turned out sorta in their favor (prior DLS RRR was 6.59 after DLS it was 8.10 RPR for opposition).

Game was in Hurricanes favor by end of inning, they required mere 5 runs of 3 after Choudhary departed, but well they couldn't do it.

Both teams did excellent in bowling I would say, in batting both failed, in fielding Hurricanes dropped easy catches.

It's what it is, and Brisbane Heat continues their unbeaten streak in BBL 2023.

^ Ofc Virat will be part of the team, his name is too huge to be ignored, even if someone else was captaining the team, Virat would have made it. Although, I feel there is probability that he might give up his spot for someone else since stakes aren't that huge here.

From POV of Afghanistan, Rashid Khan's absence will be obvious in their squad, he always takes wickets especially in T20s and can bat well.

$MANTA is being traded in Kucoin OTC market [1] and price has been hovering between $2-$4. ..

This is where I really experience FOMO, since 2 years ago on Tokensoft it was possible to freely buy this coin at a price of 36 c. At that time, I thought for a long time and eventually decided not to participate in the presale, just like today I decided not to participate on Tokensoft in the presale of the Magic Store project.

You are misunderstanding, $MANTA is yet to launch to coin.



BTW, here is one more project named Parcl where I have parked some $.

Parcl is platform to speculate real estate prices on Solana with upto 10x leverage. It is running a program where you earn 3 points/dollar for lping and 1 point/dollar traded. Lp is less stressful and gives more points, so choice is obvious.

For extra 5 points boost, you may use this code: libertyftw
