At that time SEA isn't really playing for global competition that is why most playstyles they had are behind the meta or sometimes they're making their own meta. Even until now the meme still exist about SEA as a cancerous server, but it's not that they don't play like pros but because of their unusual builds.

I'm rooting for the Old G coz I want to see them on the group stage again hopefully they wont choke again like any other times they did during qualifiers.  I remembered during an interview from the last year's TI when topson said it was different when he was playing with Ceb and BigDaddy compared to T1 coz he was comfortable having someone taking the command while on his new roster there was nobody who would step up to the plate. Regardless they have a good run last year, I wanna see topson back in action again with his unorthodox builds.

As per experience, the longer the site exists the buggier and more traffic it gets. One of the reason is because of the increase of users. That is why I understand people who would say no matter what platform is it as long as it is running smoothly that's all they needed.

There're lots of sites claiming to be "web 3" when they are not and if you're someone who's been constantly on the internet, you can spot them immediately. Not that I personally care about that because that's their own marketing strategy, but it's somehow bad because the term has been used specially to attract people to make it sound more technical/modern, and it also ruined the concept of web 3. Mostly newbies thought that it is cool to be part of that but as time goes by they will lose interest because more and more platforms show the same ideas and offers although it isn't even web 3. I agree with the OP saying it could be misunderstood specially with new users thinking it's new, not knowing that's not the real thing.

We should also know that people nowadays gets bored easily, so even if they attract more users on that marketing strategy eventually they'd get bored and try new things that aren't common to them.

This story may be considered to be off topic but this commonly happens on every occasion in every household or even those circle of friends. I was once in a situation that one of my friends tried to loan money from me, and at that time though I have money, it was intended for paying the bills and some other expenses so I turned him down. It came the time that we were at the event and when I greeted him he felt awkward and just imediately change the topic so he could go away. It turns out that he was sulking and still holding a grudge om me for turning him down, and that's it. I didn't bother explaining about why I did that coz it feels like I'm the one at fault on that situation and it's no longer my problem if he will act that way.

There're really times that people don't want to understand your situation but when it comes to yourself you always try to understand them. I already reached that point where if they don't want to, then I won't coz it only feels like I'm wasting my energy when I could use it in a more productive way.

I recommend that it's best to buy more whenever you have extra money. This isn't financial advice but only a suggestion. Based on the interviews from veteran investors, what gives them more profit is by buying and holding or buy to to store it as savings coz overtime what you bought whatever the market price is, in the end if the price moves up, you already profited from your purchase, either it will rise or fall you will still gain even a small percentage as your profit.

It'a also best to learn more about the market while you are storing your purchase. Some will advise you to do different kinds of trading, but whichever you will choose what's important is that you earn. In the process of learning the market for sure you will encounter more opportunities for you to buy more for your investments.

It's still not safe even if the statistics shows us that information for now. Remember that anything can happen overnight if you aren't that careful, you'll be swallowed by the currents. As for now also it is still within our imaginations but still we do need to be careful because who knows what will happen? This is crypto we're talking and it's not just another asset or a store of value that most of us traditionally knew.

There is also a huge chance that the bubble would pop if those big fishes decides to play around the market, but it's just a possibility coz who would ever want to lose their money right? In regards of the inflation, I know for sure that in the next few months our country would feel the changes. I'm getting this weird feeling that there will be another change somehow.

This guys clearly needs medical attention already. Winning back your losses? Nah you're just diving deeper and deeper into the pit. Although you've said luckily he doesn't have criminal record (for now), you'd think it'll stay the same in the future? Coz I personally think it won't. His addiction will only worsen if this guy doesn't get rehabilitated. Imagine how he was selling all of his family's assets just for him to gamble? What do you think he will do next when the time comes that he no longer has any source of funds to pay for his addiction? Another option is to lend money, which leads him to be full of debt in the next few months.

I highly agree with you. Most of the times we only read ToS when we need something. It's also a common occurrence to hear complaints everyday in whatever platform it is. Because, like it or not, we don't like complicated things and such hassles when it comes accessing the things that we want, same with whatever sign ups we've done, and we only care about that when these are involved "money and security".

Still patiently waiting for the review. Hopefully I'd become part of the campaign

Being a degree holder doesn't guarantee anything. Even if you earn the skills, you still need to compete with someone who earned the same skill as you do, what matters the most is by what makes you different than them and how can you showcase your skills at the same time become an asset and bring something more than what you can offer to the table.

Financial awareness is really important not only for the future but even old people regretted not learning those knowledge at am early age, but as what I noticed from them is that, those knowledge are earned through accumulation of trial and error, faolure after failure along with not wanting to give up by any means.

We cannot blame them since there are still possibilities that it will go the other way around. As for me I am not that much worried coz if it goes up it goes up, if it goes down so be it. It's not that I fully trust bitcoin's potential but I do trust the process. We've already seen how many struggles bitcoin had survived and as expected that there'll be much more in the future, but still bitcoin despite all the odds overcome that trial.

The forking alone is making the market alive again by showing signs of slight changes, though we could say that it doesn't have that much movement compared to those previous forks, at the very least it is making movement than no movement at all.

As the world evolves, it cannot be denied that there're more opportunities to join investments almost everywhere. Right now as simple as counting numbers, you can easily access and learn about kinds of investment virtual or non virtual, unlike before that you'll need to seek for a professional before learning the process of investing.

As they say, huge risks equals to huge profit, but the problem is, can they handle the consequences after? Just because it is easy to ride the waves now, it doesn't mean it's easier to overcome the results of their actions. Playing safe is by far most recommended from the "old men" for the younger ones. It is safe but somehow because of this reason why younger men wants to seek challenge and thrill. A reason like low profit or less risky doesn't matter that much to them but, battle against boredom triggers the young adults to gamble. This is one of the things I've noticed my fellow young adults, coz it's easier for them to get bored now that they have easier access to things.

You could say that it is absurd or they've taken for granted what those old people considered precious, but that's just how they are right now. Didn't you guys noticed that some easily broke down after problems today? Unlike before that people are like gladiators who gets up everytime they fall.

Sometimes due to excitement specially when there're people hyping the site or promoting it, newbies tend to forget that not sometimes but every time you need to value your security first before doing the act of gambling. I have seen several gamblers online/offline doing the same thing as you've said OP and it makes me feel bored listening to them and trying to explain what they had joined. Some just ignore the ToS and would click the "I agree" button on the terms of agreement without even reading the important details.

Whenever I try to register to some sites, I usually ignore the unimportant details or skip it, but when it comes that it involves personal information and bank information, I won't skip the terms without fully understanding it, sometimes I even use google to simplify the terms coz sometimes there're sites that uses complicated words in their terms and conditions.

Way back it almost bit me when I did try to bet on an online E-sports tournament on a betting platform, I was a total newbie at that time and I only wanted to have fun by supporting my favorite team at the same time earn a quick few bucks. It was then I didn't expect that the withdrawal fee is relatively expensive, while I only put a little amount. That time it was my first time betting online on platform using cryptocurrency, and then I was shocked that my initial balance cannot be withdrawn coz there're limits as to how much is the withdrawal, so I have to bet more if I wanted to withdraw, what's more funny is that, I need to reach a certain betting threshold before I could unlock the withdraw button.

Here in my country there're times when my IP address just suddenly changed even though I've been using my gadget at the same place, but it's still acceptable coz it's within the country. If ever I'd be subjected to that kind of ban, I would never ever visit that platform again, coz who knows maybe they'll find another fault and accuse my device for illegal usage of IP or worst is that it'll be banned as a VPN user.

I have heard lots of my neighbors boasting about using VPN on different sites, some are even using it to play on different online casinos, but I didn't hear them complain because of banning. So far most of them are complaining due to losing because of their tempers not because of IP related issues.

Just as the others are saying maybe the platform doesn't have that much good reputation if just because of that they'll ban you even if you show much credentials claiming that it is your very own account. I remembered back 2017, there was also an issue similar to this and that platform immediately lose their customers/users and some potential investors.

Absolutely right! Older generations are also aware that the world is changing although it isn't that much felt but after experiencing the pandemic and the sudden change on the norm, it all felt clearly that the changes is leaning towards modernity.

Regarding the crypto related aspect, I should say that it's relatively a challenge to teach older generations and convince them to adopt to it, but only if there is an easier way to explain things such as crypto to them, I'm pretty sure there's not much hassle trying to tell them.

Even if we say that they are aware, not interested, or even hard to keep up with the knowledge, as pace of the changes right now, we could certainly say that it would only took a little bit of time for them to learn if you slowly tell them the basics and the important parts.

Based on my experience, my Grandma, who's 74 years old right now is already aware of the cyber related stuffs like facebook and some offline gaming apps. She even has her own ATM card that we personally made for her, but didn't even bother to use it not unless when she's in the mall. I'm also aware that not everyone is like that, but based on that alone there's a huge possibility that it may not be now but soon more and more old timers would learn the modernity.

This is one of my go to options and also trying to learn more skills. Well, nowadays it's relatively easy to learn computer related skills if you just dive deeper into the internet. There are even short courses offered online and one google click, Alas! There's the courses you can choose from out of many.

I've noticed too that most job offers online are more on tech related stuffs. This is one thing I've noticed after visiting several job hiring communities online due to my friend asking for help, and yes some of them also offers to pay bitcoin but mostly they're either paying via e-wallets/fiats/banks and Paypal.

I'm also curious about jobs offered on crypto sites like casinos or exchanges as you've said coz mostly what they're hiring are more on technical side. I have seen even etherscan is hiring for web developers, content strategists and customer support specialists.

One thing I've proven in this thread is that, there are so many crypto related jobs that're reliable compared back then. Well, it's a no brainer knowing that the crypto industry is improving and moving forward, that's why there're so many opportunities online regarding crypto.

Well, here in my country it is considered illegal playing street gamblings even if you are inside you're own house there's still a possibility that you'll be raided and get arrested.

There was this event happened about a week ago when one of my neighbors celebrated their birthday, and they were just playing mahjong for fun. The thing is after the birthday ended it was the day after that event, cops came in and took the table coz they were still playing, 4 got arrested and guess what's the penalty? $1k per head, and since there are 4 of them that makes it $4k in total.

The sad part is that they're only playing for fun and the overall money taken from that game is just measly $30, and worst is that they were taken into custody and had to stay inside the cell for 3 days and 2 nights, coz they need to gather enough money first to pay for the bail. It's just unfair if you think about it, coz there's no warning and they didn't even bother to warn them first.

Not only mahjong, but also games like bacarrat, roulette, and cards are all prohibited.

Not unless you'll be a part of their campaign before you'll get better benefits on P2E games. This is one of the reasons why most influencers try their hardest to promote the site or app they are using.

I have also once participated a P2E game by being a discord moderator and  earn some specil perks. To be honest nowadays its hard to participate in P2E games if you don't have anything to contribute on their platform, some requires tremendous effort just to receive benefits while some just need enough cash to receive special bonuses like a VIP.

It's exactly as you've described. In my country there aren't that many chances to join real estate business not unless you have big amount of money. They even offer REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT), for small time or regular people to participate in real estate business, but what's the catch? If you only depend on that initial investment for sure you'll only earn a little bit, so in short you still need to buy more if you have an extra cash to earn bigger stake of that company. It's just the same as usual like traditional investments.

Exactly as you say! Opportunities are everywhere? It's just a sarcastic way of telling you can do it as long as you do it. As you've said, not every opportunity is for everyone since not everyone has learnt that skills, aside from that each and every country depends on what job available for them.

I learn that the hard way while searching for jobs, and as I was looking for it, I was disappointed at the same time confused as to why there are different jobs offered for varying countries as well as the salary given. Of course that depends on someones strategy so one could still do side hustles that're available, and yes, I also did that just to earn extra coz they said "don't just talk and complain, you should work".

Yes there're so many job opportunities online, but are we sure that out resume are checked by the company? Mostly not, if your profile isn't something noteworthy, they'd just skip it even if you have the skills to do it. Not unless you have someone who can refer you.
