I understand that it's only specific for trading bitcoin<->eggs but there will be more to it soon.

But that's a good news and bringing good vibes to the market and for Costa Rica. That's a nice approach by the government since it's a consideration that bitcoin = money for them if they allow it to happen.

Aside from that trade, this will open the idea of other citizens that why is it just only used for trading egg. They can also use it for their other goods and commodities since they've been considering the acceptance of bitcoin to trade for their eggs.

Ooredoo Thunders was great on their match but sadly, they'll be the one who won't be getting the slot.

Congratulations to OG, the game 3 was intense and it's a comeback. I thought that OT was going to get that game and it was looked that they're winning the game. With the line up of OG, it's hard to see them win that match anyway.

But then, those crucial moments made them capitalized the win and turn the favor on them. That smoke at the top near Radiant's first tower, that actually was the turning over moment for OG.

The set of teams for the Berlin major is now complete!

OG is slowly turning the tides on their favor. All it took was a threat for them to be relegated to Div 2 before they perform really well. They have a lot of things that they did well on this match that they could do on their next games. Hopefully their match against Ooredoo improved their insights on how they should approach their games. That patience and untiltable attitude is what they need.
I am pretty sure that they've a lot from that match and it was like life and breath for them just to get qualified to the Berlin major.

It looks like it is an exciting game. I'll watch the replay later. I am glad that OG was able to take the last slot for Berline Major. It does not feel like it is a major if OG is not in there.
Watch the replay and you'll be amazed on how most match went. But, there goes the spoilers already.

I couldn't believe my eyes. OT were playing so well but I guess the nerves got to them. OG were split pushing well to stall the game for a while but it was aboujt 80% dota + win probability for OT but they just couldn't push hard enough and get the win. Congratulations to OG for making it. However, I do not believe that OG will do well in the tournament though.
It was actually gonna be a game for OT but then, we saw how the game turned by OG and became in their favor. Just one and little mistake and the whole game will be turned around by any team. This has happened many times and we might see more of it in the Berlin.
1983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What could be the Symptoms of Getting Loss in gambling According to you? on: April 04, 2023, 10:27:55 AM
1. First things is that we want all in all to cover our losses in just one bet.
And that is because we just want to have it back in the quickest possible way. It's like a mental syndrome that we can't get over until we realize that it's highly unlikely that we can recover it within a snap chance.

2. We use leverage that is more than enough to blow account in matter of minutes and that is very bad.
I'm thinking of this more with margin trading but it's just the same with #1 that we all want to have it on a single blow and get away if ever fate is with us.

3. We don't know what to do.
4. We get addicted to gambling and that is bad.
5. We become frustrated and some people end up loosing their lives cause they don't have any choice. [/b]
Jumping to the last one, this is hard to be stopped. While some are winning, there's also a huge number that vast gamblers are not just gambling with their money but also playing with their emotions.

And coming to that point that they want to recover all that they've lost, they're doing things that might be against their will but they resort to it because they think that it will be easy doing it. Selling their properties, expensive assets, jewelries, etc. and worst comes worst, ending their lives due to frustration and most likely, they can't get away with the debt and shame they've taken.

The Berlin major is about to get full, only the last one slot from WEU is being waited on to fill the whole stack of participants. So, the last slot is either going to be taken and will be fighted for by OG and Ooredoo Thunders.

Honestly, majority of us here would like to see OG participate the Berlin major and take that last slot but OT won't just allow that to happen easily and we'll get to see it happen later.

For the list of participating teams, you can see it here guys --> https://liquipedia.net/dota2/ESL_One/Berlin_Major/2023

When Yuragi was interviewed after their win against Entity, he said that they have a good chance to get into Berlin Major. It means that he is confident that they will beat Ooredoo Thunders in their tiebreaker game for the Major slot. There is a reason he is confident though. They easily beat Ooredoo in their first match on this tour. There is no reason they will be beaten unless they slack off and failed to prepare for the series against Ooredoo.

I think I will risk again on OG but I will check the odds first. If it is good, I will put a good amount for OG to win.

I have felt the same way when I was still new to bitcoin and thought that this was just all for nothing. But then, after all of those mistakes that I've done which was a great to start thinking and realized that bitcoin truly has got the potential that will make change my life for the better in the future.

After those realization, it ticked me hard that I shouldn't sell those when I was just feeling the anxiety from the market and it influenced me a lot. But then, the deciding factor is our belief on where this is going. And we all know where bitcoin is going but a main requirement is to be patient.
1986  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? on: April 03, 2023, 05:57:47 PM
A government that has a heart to its people will do everything to give those services to make life easier for them. But if you understand that the government can't help you have a better situation, that's for you to decide that no one will help you.

It's like being alone in the wild and you need to survive. Poverty is one of the biggest problem in many countries and we can understand by that, that governments can't eradicate it.

So instead of waiting for their help, do your initiation to make your life better by either working hard or working smart. And in today's time, many do use poverty as their inspiration to become better and have a greater future.

What best suggestion I can get from community for start trading in crypto market?
Try demo accounts.

IMHO, that's the best place for you to start before you go with the actual trading. You'll get to see the projection of your potential starting capital and how much it would be just after you trade and while you're closely looking at the market because it is very highly volatile.

You don't have to waste money for you to start if you're just wanting to get some idea. Being a newbie, you're more prone to risk so why lessen it first through demo accounts and see if you can proceed after testing.

1989  Economy / Economics / Re: Should you save, when you are wealthy? on: April 02, 2023, 09:53:30 PM
That has a point, our money which has been printed a lot of times and added a lot in the circulating supply in the economy gives that feature of depreciation and that's acceptable because that's what will happen if money has been printed unlimitedly.

Now, we're understanding the concept of having a limited supply and unlimited supply which we've also learned in projects that we've seen in the market.

Long term, saving is a good practice because it develops you as a person to be conscious of the importance of having something in your pocket and in preparation for the rainy days.
The most worrying part is that, everyday the prices of all the goods and necessities are increasing specially those what we basically needed the most, and what makes it worst is that the daily wages are not even increasing while your needs are almost impossible to buy. This is what basically some of the analysts saying that "the cost of living is almost killing the living". Right now is the literal meaning of survival of the fittest, and having a job right now is no longer enough to sustain your family not unless you are working above the minimum wage which you can barely survive. Inflation isn't the only thing that causes a lot of problems in the economy, also the lack of job opportunities results into so many jobless people living in every country. The government can only support a few people but the there are thousands if not there are millions of people who doesn't have a job and still trying to find one.
It is the reality and happening in many parts of the world. While the minimum wage aren't really increasing a lot to help deal with the inflation and high prices of goods.

That's also hard on the side of the private companies that they can't just easily increase the wages. In tackling this problem, one job isn't enough these days.

One has to work two or three more jobs just to feel convenient living while dealing all these problems and could also be the way to have some spare and do some saving.
1990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What have you got rid of to accumulate Bitcoin on: April 02, 2023, 05:05:04 PM
~snip~
I usually don't like the idea of selling something important just to buy something with the same importance rather, I'd try to find a way to acquire new source of income in order for me to buy the things that I need or even investments. I won't specifically judge anyone just because they want to sell something like property or another asset, coz we don't know what's the situation and besides it varies directly from person to person as to which is important to him/her or not.
The same as me, I'm that type of investor that feels hard to dispose my other investment for another one. And if I want to add some, I'll also do the same as you, and that's to find some other ways if it's possible so that I can use that money from there and save the other asset from being sold.

There's no need to judge someone that does it, it's their asset and investments and they know what they think is best for them. Flipping is a good strategy to prolong your wealth if that's what you want to do, at the same time it's also fun.
1991  Economy / Economics / Re: Is some certain lifestyle a waste of money and time ? on: April 02, 2023, 03:53:27 PM
Nowadays most people are connected to social media, when they see influencers who carry out extravagant lifestyles, it's usually easy for us to follow, but we must remember that the risk when following a lifestyle is to make our finances wasteful, and it's best to leave an extravagant lifestyle and excessive.
While a normal person thinks that it's okay to live extravagantly because they see how others are doing it without thinking if they're able to do and sustain it.

I do not mind if others are wasting their time, youth and money with nonsense stuff. But I'll never need the approval of other people just for me to get satisfied.

I know what I am doing and how to satisfy myself and that's to be future proof with things that I am doing now. What they're doing are just for temporary fun, if you know what I mean that we should prepare for our future and be ready for delaying gratification, you know what's best for you.

What can you say about what 23savage said about Filipino Dota 2 players? He's truly savage about that statement or he's just being bitter with what he has experienced after being kicked on his former team and was replaced when he's still with T1?

I thought that it's just an April fools but he really said that on his stream but then deleted it but he said that he's firm with that statement. And he's got no issues with his Filipino friends and he's still intact with them.

Anyways, his team - Talon Esports ended as the 1st place on this DPC season and will go to Berlin major with 400 DPC points earned.

I am not updated with what he said about Filipino DOTA players. Can you share a link if there are copies of his stream before it was deleted?
This is the link when he stand firm of what he said about those players --> https://www.facebook.com/23savageDotA/posts/pfbid035iG1oZ1Ki8Nsex8h86fNySxKwtEBgaqEVtCv4Ge3B1z9vACyz9bAmsZu2SJWyn6ql

And I think it's just all about being hurt when he's got kicked.

Then, he posted again for apologies about his insensitive comments about the players on that stream. I can't find the stream anymore but these posts of him will give you the idea.

1993  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is buying BTC now, the best option ??? on: April 01, 2023, 08:43:05 PM
So, from the look of things, don't you think that investing in Btc at the moment could be worth considering?
It is worth it but the initiative from those who are saying it, I don't know if they're following what they're feeling. And that is because they might have think that the price might go lower.

From that waiting time that has been said, it has took a lot of time from those people who were not yet satisfied with the price. So, instead of buying they've witnessed another price that's quite higher than what they were expecting.

Buy if you're able now.
1994  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What have you got rid of to accumulate Bitcoin on: April 01, 2023, 10:30:05 AM
Everyone is waiting for bitcoin halving which might trigger bull run but one funny thing is that you can not predict bitcoin price and bitcoin has a gained a lot of awareness with more people becoming interested in it.
It is what's the result of halving, another bull run is being awaited by all of us. We might not able to predict correctly the price but still, that's likely that it's going to be higher than the last one.

Selling things to invest in bitcoin is a personal decision you will make personally and being aware of the risk it comes with is not bad sometimes the risk might just be what it, knowing well that bitcoin is a long time investment not hoping for a miracle to happen anytime soon. Since your mind is mad up I hope you don't end up selling  Grin.
That can't be stopped for those that haven't accumulated a lot yet. They're chasing to have as much as they can while the price isn't shooting up yet.

That's a way to cover all of those missed opportunities and they can't wait to have spare money to invest but instead, they result in selling their other precious things just for bitcoin.
1995  Economy / Economics / Re: Should you save, when you are wealthy? on: April 01, 2023, 08:33:38 AM
I think in the end saving is not good if done for the long term, you can see that the amount of money is not limited, so instead of increasing but every year our money continues to decrease because its value continues to fall, unfortunately I am also not rich yet, so I share my knowledge have here.
That has a point, our money which has been printed a lot of times and added a lot in the circulating supply in the economy gives that feature of depreciation and that's acceptable because that's what will happen if money has been printed unlimitedly.

1996  Economy / Economics / Re: Money as a store of value... on: March 31, 2023, 10:34:43 PM
Fiat, money or cash are true liquid assets and it's the most liquid of all the assets out there. But you know what? Wise investors won't let their value and worth be in the form of cash because of the inflation so depreciation is there.

And instead, they use cash to buy other assets that can be more valuable in the future because it appreciates and the purpose of it is to defeat the inflation that will suck the value of their money.

Those assets like real estate, gold, bitcoin and many more.
1997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most likely category of people to become Gambling addicts. on: March 31, 2023, 08:13:45 PM
In summary, just don't introduce it to anyone that you know that are not capable of controlling their emotions because you'll never know on up to what point they can control themselves.

Because the time might even come that you'll be the one to be blamed by those people whom you've introduced gambling. That's not a new story and there have been cases like that they were blamed and made it looked bad because they've just introduced those addicted gamblers to gambling.

Avoid being the trigger of others that may fall into gambling addiction if you don't want to get involved and be blamed for.
As long as they won’t be productive in the long run, then never introduce it to them in the first place. Gambling may always trigger addiction especially if the one involved has a difficult way of controlling his greed and emotions. Instead of quitting gambling after losing, most of them will even gamble more to chase their losses or some to chase more of their luck for bigger profits. The reason why we should always be responsible not to drag people on gambling especially if those people have hard time controlling not just their emotions, but their finances as well. They may even consider that gambling is a quick way to make money, when the real fact is gambling could mean more losses than profits.
That's why if someone really asks important things about gambling and becomes encouraged based on how you explained it, you better watch out and keep them reminded that you've just been speaking based on what you know and the experience as a gambler. But you're not encouraging them to gamble and risk is at high and it never changes once they're in.

Be responsible enough not to attract people in gambling particularly for those who may think that gambling can be a good source of living. If they do, they will always want to try their luck gambling most of the time and end up losing all their funds. And for people who may gamble just for fun, don’t be too confident that they won’t develop addiction in the long run. Gambling is very addictive, if you’re not good at resisting and controlling your urge, you will always fall for gambling addiction even if you will keep on saying that you only gamble for fun.
It's the sign when someone thinks of it and he's not yet a gambler or just gamble less. Thinking of it as a source of income triggers their greediness and once someone gets up to that point, well, I'd say that you better be away from them before things becomes worst.

We've seen those people that have been in gambling that have come to that point and they've got no one to blame, if they can't blame themselves for the situation they're in. They'll look for one and you'll be on that hot seat if you're the last person that they've talked to about gambling.

I guess that's the real point here, we should stop encouraging people who gamble who are soft hearted because it may destroy their mental health once losing everything they have. Let them be the one who come to you and ask about it if they really want to so in the end you wont get blamed if they lose. To be honest ones you enter gambling its really hard to stop especially if you experience winning. It will boost you and trigger you to play and bet more higher value for a higher profit but once you loss with that big bet, it will not make you stop, it will push you more to keep gambling to get back what you loss and you cant notice that it slowly getting all your money that you have because you didn't control your emotion.

Gambling is fun, but it is very addictive so better be careful and learn how to control or limit yourself first before entering on it.
It's fun and no doubt that it's an income stream for those experienced gamblers. But it changes when someone thinks of it outside the box that if it happened to the other gamblers, it may happen to them as well.

That's not the point of it, if they want it the hard way then they'll see that it's not the same from those gamblers that they're looking up to as if they've found success in here.

There are lots of categories, but I think this is the one that's on the top in terms of who you shouldn't introduce gambling for.

We already know that people who are full of emotions often loses their money whether it's on gambling, or trading etc. Traders who are full of emotion most of the time ending up losing their money. On the other hand, those people who want to gamble that are also full of emotions lost their money all the time. People with full of emotions might make some bad decisions that would make their current situation even worse. Some even go to a point where they will borrow money into their family members.

This is also the reason why I'm not introducing gambling to anybody. I'm not gambling that much, but I'm afraid that whenever I introduce gambling to other people, there might be a chance that they will get addicted, and for sure I will blame myself if something bad happens to that person which will cause a domino effect on me.
When someone's emotion gets triggered, we will never know what crazy things they can do. There are people that can't accept defeat and they will do all the means just to take back their losses and glory that they've lost in the process.

What if they've got no money left? And that's the craziest part comes in that some of them might sell their important assets because they want to pursue and chase their losses.

1999  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Investment: Good Debts vs Bad Debts on: March 30, 2023, 11:12:35 PM
Please bear with me with what I understand about this matter. Good debt isn't just all about that you'll be able to use it on a business and other things that will be cultivated over time for which will generate profit on your own sake.

I think it's all about cash flow. Like the typical understanding we've got about good debts is you borrow money and then invest it on a business, that's it. But we're forgetting that when someone creates a business, the important thing on it is being liquid and the cash that flows within the cycle of that business so, it's an active thing.

Whilst in investing in bitcoin, you gotta be passive and wait for the right time on it. Well, it can still be said as a good debt since there have been college loans and we're also investing our future with our education and we wait until we're able to use that education we've learned.

So IMHO, it's either both. But I agree on him arimamib; if you can avoid to take a loan just avoid it in any case even if the cause is good like investing in bitcoin.

I think the debt can be avoided if there is no urgent need.  I mean even if you take a loan to make an investment it's not too wise for you to do because if you get a passive income per day/week/month you can set aside some of your income to invest in the long term it's wiser than you take a loan.
