Did you hear about shroud? King of the Reddit who's good at FPS games? There are many rumors that he's one of the lineups of C9 in Valorant.
<...>
yeah i saw that the other day. If it's true, then every C9 match, and any tourney they're competiting on in the future, are guaranteed to have at least 100k viewers, and a high viewership numbers means more sponsors = more money to everyone involved (Riot Games, C9, tournaments, sportsbooks)...pretty amazing what a single streamer guy can do  Roll Eyes

but here's an article from Forbes explaining Why Shroud Will Not Become A Full Time ‘Valorant’ Pro
This is the reason why he wanted not to play on the pro.
Quote
Shroud has frequently said he will not return to pro play, as it is a stressful and difficult life. When you consider his other option is to sit at home and play games, which will make him even more money, then it seems like a no brainer
Of course even myself would also decide not to play with pro knowing that I can still earn in the way he had been doing at all. He stated really true that playing in pro makes life more stressful and it is not really an environment that he wanted to. The pressure is really up in pro games opposite to the play he had made on where viewers loves to watch. He's game play is all about for fun and not really for a tournament.

A good market condition like now is indeed difficult to make the best decision. And I think everyone should be brave
make decisions without being influenced by the opinions of others. Now our analytical skills as traders are tested, myself
have confidence that Bitcoin will continue to rise and return to all time high prices. So I will continue to buy bitcoin and
hodl until Bitcoin reaches a price of $ 20,000. Please don't be influenced by the actions I take, because the risks are quite large.
Yeah, I think one should be contented on what he can gain. There is no fast and easy money here but pretty sure one can earn. This is why we need to be patient when it comes to market volatility. Just like what happen to 2018 where market crashes and many had thought that it is the end for bitcoin. But see what bitcoin now, it made a good comeback after a year so in this case a yearly base investment will be okay as long when one sell bitcoin should have profit at least no matter how small it is or just when the target reach that might be good already. But if one wanted to risk more then one can wait and definitely bitcoin is not going down for it is always going up as what we have been observing since it began on 2013 I guess(not pretty sure).

Just simply report it if you find some malicious Google Ads popping around. Those criminals are really doing everything to circumvent Google's policy on this. And this is what we call cloaking, it's just it is very rampant today because it's very easy for scammers to make money through this method.

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66355?hl=en
And for sure this will help google to filter malicious program or ads that has been displayed. Google pretty sure knows about that they had been adding malicious program but since they are paying they just accept it and then if someone will going to report then they can have the reason to remove it then. So, in order to help google remove this kind of malicious program then it is better that we should be helping to report the malicious program. One can start sharing malicious program here in the forum. You can make a list here and well help out to report it so that it can be easily reached out to google admin.
1004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone in the Bitcoin ATM business? on: August 06, 2020, 12:45:37 PM
ive seen a  few , was going to use one but the price difference was $600 

i,d say if you have a shop in a town or city then it could be a good move as you can get listed on coin atm rador website and people will come and use it.


Even if i will get the opportunity to have bitcoin ATM business i'd rather not because there are post here of a bitcoin atm owner that has been establish at mall and other areas to where he admitted that he put up an atm bitcoin to the authority where had told him that he is doing it illegal. He will probably gone to prison for that or it could be settle within the authority level. I hope that guy can still recover the losses that had been made after the arrest. So, if you are planning to have a bitcoin then be sure to register it to proper authority so one will not have problems when it comes to legal. It may cost you for the processing but at least you will be safe from getting arrested of illegal operating on bitcoin atm.
1005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Escrow is a must to avoid disappointment on: August 06, 2020, 08:41:30 AM
I believe that i am the project I promoted has been into escrow payments or it is the owner itself directly pay us to promote the project.  Whichever it is I do believe that using a trusted escrow will do to make payments of rewards available to all who promote the project. But of course scam project do not intend to do.it so for in the first place they are creating a project to scam investors. And it may be hard for the organizer or owner of the project to trust the funds to some escrow service for others were not trusthworthy also even the good escrow service provider especially if huge amount of money being involved.
1006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone trading Stellar coin? on: August 06, 2020, 08:37:07 AM
Stellar (XLM) is About to See “Liftoff” if It’s Able to Hold One Crucial Level

Stellar (XLM) is trading in a bullish zone above the $0.1000 support zone against the US Dollar. XLM price is likely to accelerate towards $0.1200 or even higher if it stays above the $0.1000 support.


https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/08/05/stellar-xlm-is-about-to-see-liftoff/
I like stellar actually and it does really seem one of the establish crypto with good market capitalization and liquidity. There are gold speculations here with stellar and most were positive into this coin. However most of the coins were crashed when bitcoin was halving. Many had thought that it is the end of cryptocurrency on that time. But seeing now most of the crypto recover then it is already a positive sign to continue the cryptocurrency endeavors.
1007  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has anyone seen this website before? on: August 06, 2020, 02:53:19 AM
Scammers had great offers. Most likely this kind of offer is a form of trap. So, if I were you OP if you are trying to convince others here that this is worth to try then I bet you will be the first one to be tag as scammer or doing fraud activities. You may no directly promote the site but indirectly by posting it here would seems like a promotion. Besides, you had known that this is a high chance that it is a scam still you had made it by posting here. Anyway, your account is still freshly made and you can register again if you wanted here in bct.
1008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 4 US Congressman wrote to IRS to ease tax on POS rewards on: August 06, 2020, 02:49:00 AM
I'm only familiar with Tom Emmer as one US congressman who are really pro-crypto stance.

For this to have some weight, there should be more congressmen to sign to petition and put pressure on IRS. Or at least some powerful person to lobby this. So this remains to be seen, we don't know if IRS will actually listen to these congressman, but this is a good initiative.
This will encourage the more investors due to ease of taxing on the system. If this will get adapted then pretty sure we can get much on it. However, we need more of them to push through this effort so that it will going to happen. It does need our support also so as to get this thing happen. Yeah I agree that there could be some powerful person to help this push through. It can get much if it will be influence by the likes of those people around in the congress.
1009  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: FreeBitcoin Bot - What do you think about this tool?? on: August 06, 2020, 02:35:14 AM
The best chance to make a profit on this particular website is via the event betting, the odds given there can be far better value then many traditional or mainstream odds quoted.   I think its because its player based and not hedge too much, sometimes the public is just wrong and takes the odds to extremes it shouldn't which means its worth a punt on the off chance alone.   
    Point being the bot gets you around the system perhaps or not but definitely the listed odds in events should be viewed as quite attractive, thats my tip.
Well if this betting platform is all about P2P then yes I agree that it could be better knowing the platform earn through the house hedge of betting. And I think also that there could be many gamblers that will play along with online. If only they can make a promotion here and establish dignity in their platform then higher chance that they could get much or high volume of traffic from the gamblers playing online. Just like traditional casinos that had much users around and since we are in pandemic, then we can expect most gamblers will preferred P2P gambling online.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia IBF & WBC Welterweight Title on: August 06, 2020, 02:26:07 AM
As far as the recent speculations are concerned, this coming November, the bout might be Terrence vs Manny or McGregor vs Manny.

Seriously? I doubt Manny would fight in times of pandemic.. but Terrence vs Manny, should be a good fight, the old man here will again prove that he is only old by age, if he can beat Terrence, that would be another mark 1 to an undefeated boxer.

Manny vs McGregor.. not gonna happen probably, unless Manny wants to destroy boxing and throw that respect he got from his millions of fans.

I'm with Terrence vs Manny here. And I hope he will win this match if that will happen. Just to show to the world that age doesn't matter. Actually, Manny has nothing to prove anymore, but it's nice to see him in the ring defeating these younger ones one by one.

Going back to Spence vs. Garcia, this is one good fight to see and prove if the accident has no effect on Spence...
Manny is not a fan of UFC fight so I guess he is just only focusing on boxing and he had already a good record on it so I do believe that he will not make another event to which it could lose his dignity knowing that UFC fights are universal and any martial arts or discipline is welcome which Manny could be having hard time to it unlike in boxing to where is good at.
Anyway, in this bout I am in favor to Errol Spence jr. having to defend his championship. He has the advantage on this fight and if Danny Garcia wants to win in this match then he needs to knock down the defending champion which is difficult to happen.

We should not underestimate the women nowadays for they can also do whatever a man can do. This will promote also the welfare of the women around the world. We have now Gender Equality for the women to get a good chance to every opportunity in every aspects like in working force. So, why not allow them to play in the senior men's team? Anyway, women can play along with the senior men's team especially young women players that are healthy. But if it really will not allow then better to find ways that will dignified the Gender Equality act on them to get fair opportunity to all the women.
1012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe in Ripple? on: August 05, 2020, 11:42:02 PM
Yes, xrp is one good crypto among altcoins but not if compared to bitcoin. It has good market capitalization and liquidity. Others are doing trading in it especially whales doing pump and dump scheme. If you can get and used to it then one can earn with these whales around doing this scheme. It is easier to trade with them around that will make the xrp more volatile.

They too are loud when it comes to promotion. they make news to it.
1013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: top 6 cryptocurrency , Invest in 2020 on: August 05, 2020, 11:30:20 PM
I am to chose bitcoin as it is the choice of majority and it is also secured compared to other coins though they had same security features in storing the coins to a wallet. Bitcoin has relatively been popular all over the world and many had been interested in it in investing especially now that bitcoin market price has gone too high. Bitcoin now has slowly recovered after the huge market crash.

However, altcoins too had been showing good market liquidity and capitalization especially those establish altcoins. Others are interested in them because it can easily go up and volalite at the same time.
1014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Ethereum Wallets on: August 05, 2020, 11:23:32 PM
I have been using myetherwallet and so far it is good. I have done transfer some coins and trade it to exchanges. But to others wallets being mention, I have no experience in using them probably I am satisfied with Myetherwallet. It has been a lonh time since I am having this online wallet.

It may good to have other options other than the wallet we used to store our crypto. But never should be exchanges wallet to be use as permanent wallet. This because exchanges are prone to hacking activities and crypto funds will be at risk.
1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: International Group of Finance Leaders says "Ripple’s XRP Network Leapfrogs Lega on: August 05, 2020, 11:17:48 PM
Yes, they are good at it when it comes to smart talk or promoting xrp. This is what they had done before market crash where they always say that xrp will going to beat btc but it did not happen though it had pump due to whales trading pump and dump scheme. Anyway, the good thing that crypto had is all about its liquidity and market capitalization compare to other altcoins. Xrp will be a better option. And if this news is true then we can expect other crypto as well intetgrate to something new.
1016  Economy / Economics / Re: Is institutional capital good or bad for Bitcoin? on: August 05, 2020, 02:01:44 PM
Definitely it's a good thing. there is no way to solve bitcoin volatility unless somebody wanted to invest a lot of money to stabilize the price, buying bitcoin when the price relative to a particular fiat currency goes below the target, and selling bitcoin when the price goes above the target. Without such a stabilizing force, bitcoin will remain volatile while it is in the early stages of adoption and demand is fluctuating and ultimately unknown. when more institutional investors come to the Bitcoin market, we should see volatility decrease, and this problem will be solved soon. Hence, institutional investors help a greater adoption with their funds.


I agree that institutional capital is good for Bitcoin, especially in terms of adoption, however I don't think that will influence the Bitcoin's volatility. Bitcoin is not functioning as traditional currencies and volatility is part of it's functioning, Bitcoin is not stable but its nature. No amount of investment will make Bitcoin to become stable currency.
Bitcoin is like a product to which its value will depend on the demand of its consumers. Institutional investment is all about having money to purchase like real estate property to which it is more solid form of investment compared to bitcoin. However, it needs a huge capital which only few could afford to do it. Besides even if one can afford to invest in real estate property but still bitcoin has the edge of earning huge compared to institutional investment but it could be more risky than institutional investment.
1017  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing in Life Insurance using Cryptocurrency on: August 05, 2020, 01:56:15 PM
In fact, I cannot afford insurance even for fiat money, but in fact the presence of cryptocurrency in my portfolio is by itself insurance for my life and the lives of my loved ones. With the long-term storage of all my assets, this will bring me a good profit, which I can use for any purpose. But nevertheless, if we talk on the introduction of cryptocurrency in the daily life of a human being, this implies the use of cryptocurrency in various areas of business, including in insurance companies.
It's good to have investment in cryptocurrency but will not want it to spend due to uncertainty, or better just make sure your love ones also know how to use cryptocurrency, or atleast teach one how to open and cashout in your wallet, make sure also they know what's your password or  the seed. It is good to let your love ones know how to access it since something might happen to you like accident if we wanted to let our crypto be our insurance.
Yes, this has been talked about over and over again. Investment has its risks and if one may wish to earn more the  risk it more will be possible to earn more but it could get lower chances to gain also because risking money for cyrptocurrency investment has no certain returns. But it could really earn a lot though with less effort but more on patience and decision making.
1018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the best welcome offer for you? on: August 05, 2020, 01:36:59 PM
Sites with deposit bonus keep watching the users for any abuses that is why accounts are locked when they use VPN so never try to connect via VPN when entering into such site.And free money could be just the advertisement tactic most of the sites offer welcome bonus but hardly anyone won bets on such amounts.
Mostly, it's actually a tactic for gamblers to get in.

But, it's all legit if it's coming from a reputed casino and that's how they give bonuses even the welcome bonus. Requirements are quite easy but if you will analyze it, sometimes it's not worth it.
Bonus is not important when one like to play in an online gambling platform. The best of it is when you play not having the bonus and earn good rewards after winning a certain game. Bonus is only a thing that will make one interested to join them. It is not realy a big deal because once you started playing to it then it would become more interested when you bet more and win more rather than just using the bonus.
1019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting biggest winners. on: August 05, 2020, 01:32:45 PM
An interesting topic, it's a pity that I didn't see it before. I would like to see another selection called "10 Years Later"  Roll Eyes So that you can see how these people used their wealth (of course, such a selection should not include initially rich people who made large bets).

Ofcourse.
I wonder though if you are suggesting that those who won such amounts (specifically those who weren't rich before the huge wins) may not be able to properly utilize the huge wins? I think It depends on people(assuming you think they might not use the money well). I am confident that not all big bet not-formerly-rich winners misuse their huge wins. By the way, I think if people are possibly worried about misuse, they could help teach such winners how to use their wins properly.
Mostly money being made from thin air will be easily to spend because it is not been made of hardwork. But if money earn is from hardwork then pretty sure all money will be hold. I can see that others too are doing well in winnings. Some were able to make a project from their winnings or invest it into somethinh solid land investment or gold or even business. I have seen others too that are now successful.
1020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: August 05, 2020, 01:28:59 PM
Mike tyson is still the best fighter and very aggressive in all of his fight. Never seen him afraid to get punches from his opponent and on the contrary his opponent always in a defensive state where mostly could only throw few punches. He can fight big and taller opponent and even knock it out. If this fight will continue then I am still infavor for Mike tyson. I just wonder why he came back to fight after retiring? Does he need to prove himself that he still can fight?
