1221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The next trending storyline in DeFi might be RWA on: September 04, 2023, 02:56:07 AM
I think that this was also done during the ICO or pre-ICO days. They didn't got much attention but the same as the AI, they could just bloom when we're in the bull run. I don't think that there's still that much to think of for DeFi but with RWA, if a known company starts to do this then that's something that people might look upon with. I remember now, the NFT that's been associated with some known companies like Nike. They got attention but after that, there's nothing interesting anymore. This is like distribution of stocks just as petro oil or any company that will offer a token as their share, I'm not optimistic with this approach though.
1222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: September 03, 2023, 11:04:28 PM
The maximum people opinion was les than 5 percentage,because less than 2 percentage was low one for the gambling.So the gamblers uses 5 percentage for the gambling from their monthly income.But I was from that 7 percentage of the population,which is less than 30 percentage of money in the gambling.I will spend 40 percentage of income for the rent and the clothes,then i will keep 30 percentage of nu income to the food.So the balance 30 percentage of my free income will be used on the gambling.Because I had strong belief on my luck and so my luck will give me more money from gambling one day.
That's so much confidence from you. But whatever is the percentage that you're comfortable to spend from your monthly income, make use of that first for your bills and necessities then you're free to go wild and gamble with that money of yours. That's where many gamblers get it wrong that they're lessen first their gambling funds before proceeding and paying everything for their bills and needs. It should be deducted first before they allot their percentage for gambling so that they won't compromise those important obligations they need to sustain and attend to. And at the same time, their relatives won't blame gambling because they become reckless and irresponsible if they're prioritizing their percentage for gambling.

DOTA2: Does anyone remember what happened to the wild card tournament for the Dota2 TI? I remember that there’s this kind of tournament last year that give chance to top 2 and 3 on regional qualifiers to compete with other same rank on other divisions for an extra 2 spot for the TI.

I’m surprised that this wild card was removed since the next tournament will be TI already. This tournament is really cool since last year TI was finished 2nd and 3rd place(Secret and Liquid) are both product of this wild card tournament if I'm not mistaken. Last chance tournament is the other description of this tournament.

https://win.gg/news/wildcard-tournament-returning-for-the-international-11/
Valve changed the qualifier through the regional qualifiers, no prize pool but only the slot for the International 12. In the past TIs, this didn't just happen on TI11 but many times before. I like this much more because there's more action and it's just close to the main event which is the group stages. I remember that time when many talents were discovered during those wild cards. I hope that they will return this format next year because this regional qualifier sucks, many team where have a lot of fan base are not going to participate the TI12 because of having few slot only.

It's like an off chain transaction I guess. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to accept cryptocurrencies if they prefer it coming from another PayPal user because the transfers will be easier for them if it's like that. Well, I am not affected that much so this isn't an issue really.
But for the sake of crypto adoption, it's not that interesting at all when you know how crypto transaction goes and yet, they prefer something that just recently adopted crypto. Good but not that so good but speaking of acceptance, the term is there but with a condition that it should be done through PayPal.

Honestly, I think that it's going to be the edge of Luna Galaxy since they're not exhausted unlike Quest or even Team Secret.
Being exhausted after a 3 games with just 2hrs in total duration is not a thing for professional Dota players since they are playing bunch of games everyday and maintains same level of performance all throughout the day. They are actually more motivated to play harder if they are on streak or momentum compared to those who are just waiting after a tremendous defeat.
They might be used to it but still being used in 2-3 games before another series starts is already exhausting. Yes, they're pro but you can't say that with the pros because even the best gets exhausted just like Saksa and other pros. I honestly think that most of them should really be fit just like Fly to maintain emotional stability for these games.

Momentum is very important criteria on Dota since it's a strategy base game. I'm always considering this when making a bet unless they are playing all day long against multiple teams while they are facing a known dominant team against them which is not the case with Quest vs Luna.
It is important and you should cast your bets on the next tournaments when you think a team is on its momentum. You can figure that like with their first 2-3 games.

So it's impossible to have any crisis people not use to with any Crisis as Luxury life is our new normal life Wink
Are you sure you know what you're saying, mate? At least use some commas to make these words of yours more understandable. Are you saying that crises are impossible to happen then, people who are not used to these crises are living with luxurious life as their norm life? See, there's a big difference between using little punctuation into understanding what message you're trying to convey about people, crisis, and luxury life. But you know what's the matter at this time? It's about feeling what others are experiencing and giving you the thought that not everyone are having the best time of their lives.

There are so many red flags popping up when reading the comments that the community should be smart and not deposit until some concerns are answered. Licensing? Provably fair? Bot players? Fake user numbers? Affiliated or copy/paste of another site? Improper announcement thread and account that hasn't logged in in nearly 24 hours to answer any questions or concerns.

Anyone who deposits here is taking a big risk at the moment.
I agree, the OP won't probably be back forever as it's like the typical advertising coming from such casinos making a newbie account and then posting some details likely an ann thread of theirs but then, doesn't really look serious at all.
Here it out folks from the ones that have been checking out companies and casinos on how the better approach should be into making their community/announcement thread. This is just another hit or miss thread that's been made.
1228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Socialtournaments-A way to stop gambling addiction on: September 01, 2023, 11:37:51 PM
I have never heard about them but is it like that they're into it? How do they get funded and make people have prizes when they don't allow people to gamble with their own money? Is it like charity work for the addicted gamblers and that's their sole purpose in helping them?
Well, the important thing is they don't need people to deposit money and they will allow people to win real money if they ever win the games that they have. I think it's a good way to stop addicted gamblers deposit money and have it removed but in a sense that they're still playing real gambling games.
1229  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Am I using the right plan? on: September 01, 2023, 10:38:34 PM
I don't think it's a good idea to let them learn the hard way. As you mentioned, he's your younger sibling, and you have more life experience. You've probably seen different scams like Ponzi schemes before and can recognize them. It's better to advise him and let him know that he could get hurt if he doesn't leave that Telegram channel. Sometimes, they ask for a withdrawal fee before you can take your money out, but we know it's a scam to take even more after you've already invested.
If advising them won't help, they are not going to listen to anything that he's going to say. They're still in the sensation and belief that they're doing the right thing and only a snap of a finger is what they need to experience for them to learn. He doesn't want them to experience being scammed and learning the hard way but if that's what it takes for them to understand his point and what he wants to make them understand, even he don't want to has to happen.

Not this time, Secret is eliminated which I’m sad since my fellow Filipino is in there. It will be nice if Secret get the 2nd spot so that Armel and Gabby will compete on TI with different team.

I think Quest already got this second since Luna Galaxy is already showing some and typically team that beaten bad on upper bracket finals has low morale to compete with on momentum lower bracket team.
Yes, Quest Esports did manage to qualify and able to beat Luna Galaxy straight 2-0. No Puppey this TI and this is the TI that's going to break his record from being a regular attendee and qualifier. He's got the record of 11 times attendance and appearance for TI but not for the TI12.

I'm really surprised at how Quest made a 2-0 run on Luna Galaxy after they lost earlier in their upper-bracket series.
Honestly, I think that it's going to be the edge of Luna Galaxy since they're not exhausted unlike Quest or even Team Secret.

About Team Secret, I am not really fond of Crystallis' performance and I share the same opinion after seeing a lot of online negative comments. But I am curious as to why Puppey continues to keep him. Sad to see Puppey ending his longest TI participation streak. I don't know if he can bounce back in the next season or if he will follow Koroky's fate.

For many years, this should be the first time in TI that there is no team with more than 1 Filipino. And SEA only has 2 representatives. So hopefully this is a wake-up call since the other regions especially South America looked more deserving of more slots.
Puppey kept him because he saw that Crystallis suited their play style. I was also one of those critics of him but after analyzing some of his games, I can say that he's reactive every game. He's not passive but it seem that being a carry like him is not that typical carry that we see.
1231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull Run within Q4 of 2024? on: September 01, 2023, 04:08:42 PM
It Isn't possible for tell the adject time when bull session will start but as this is speculation sector, you can feel free to share your prediction about it. Now let me guess! Meanwhile i google about Btc halving and it shows, April 26, 2024.
The dates that we're seeing on the internet about the halving are all speculations because it all depends on the block that will be mined. It is going to be the 840,000th block that will be mined and the halving will occur. It could be earlier or later but that's the actual basis for the halving to come.

And if so, then it is possible that bull will within some months after halving occurred. That means possible time could be within 2024? Or 2025? What is your thought?
Yes, that's possible just after the halving that it will be followed by the bull run. Either of those years you mentioned.

Note: Invest wtih your own responsibility.
As always, invest what you afford to lose.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: August 31, 2023, 05:30:32 PM
I really think that Entity will secure the first spot.
You're right, it's Entity to take the first slot for TI in the WEU region. This team has got a fresh roster for their position 3 which is Gabbi. Good job on the team.

So satisfying when a prediction goes perfectly according to my plan. I bet a 2:0 win for Entity with a whooping odds.

Same as I predicted on my post, Entity win for a close match on game 1 with 60 minutes duration while the team is already easy game for them since they are motivated to secure the spot while they already have the advantage while the enemy team is already thinking about the second chance game on lower bracket.
Man, that's kind of a tough prediction for me. I was like roller coaster if that's the type of bet that I'm going in. That is the reason why I am just staying at most times for the match winner. Just got some news guys, Quest Esports is going to TI.

Not this time, Secret is eliminated which I’m sad since my fellow Filipino is in there. It will be nice if Secret get the 2nd spot so that Armel and Gabby will compete on TI with different team.

I think Quest already got this second since Luna Galaxy is already showing some and typically team that beaten bad on upper bracket finals has low morale to compete with on momentum lower bracket team.
Yes, Quest Esports did manage to qualify and able to beat Luna Galaxy straight 2-0. No Puppey this TI and this is the TI that's going to break his record from being a regular attendee and qualifier. He's got the record of 11 times attendance and appearance for TI but not for the TI12.
1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens if USDT falls down? on: August 31, 2023, 11:52:40 AM
I'm pretty sure a USDT collapse would be a huge blow to the crypto market. Prices will decline for a prolonged period of time.
It will. We can take the example during the time when there was a continuous printing of Tether. IIRC, that was around 2016-2017 and that certainly created an impact as those were the years like we're in a bull run. The thing here is that those printed USDTs were used to buy and stack more of Bitcoin for Bitfinex.

No one can predict the future, so lets hope for the best. Just my opinion Smiley
Yep, it's always unstable, volatile and risky but we've been used to that scene and hoping that we get another unexpected and greater bull run without any failure from any of these big cryptos.

For those who are are not familiar, he is one referee that is very controversial, I mean his call specially against the Lakers. And then he was accused of having a burner account in Twitter to defend himself, or other referees for that matter.
I remember that controversial referee but it seems that there's always a diversion for the attention of everyone in terms of issues like this.

Giannis only wants titles and winning rings would be the appropriate credits he deserved, furthermore the team should signed more important players that will aides in enhancing and strengthening the club interms of performance on the court.
It is what every NBA player wants. To have more titles and MVPs and winning rings. Nobody in the NBA wants to just sit there and do nothing unless there's no hope and he's just a bench player. But then, even bench players also want to have their titles as they've got also a contribution to their team.
1235  Economy / Speculation / Re: Take your eyes off from the fall in price on: August 31, 2023, 06:12:39 AM
I have never lost hope but there were points of my life that I have sold too early. I don't know, it was a decision that I have agreed to make and then eventually saw the price increase. Those were the times when I needed cash and there was no other source that I could get but from my holdings. I still got to hold but the feeling wasn't the same as before because I could feel the regret but I didn't wanna dive down into that feeling and there was a need to move on. But if it's about the market and it's dropping, I'm not worried but even excited about how high it will recover. This market taught us a lot of life lessons not just from the market alone and holding but also for having tons of patience which is also applicable in other aspects of our lives.

If it's a small amount, any security measure that I like to explore will do. But I just want to take it the traditional way by adding a 2FA or any password that I only know. As long as I am not compromising myself and I know my history when I use the web and my smartphones as well, then the traditional will be fine for me. I'm conscious but I want to do it in a natural and easy way. Because being complex could also put some effort and make things complicated like fingerprint and eye scanner unlock.

Bitcoin has played a major role in this change that has been happening and it actually had changed a lot before these comparisons have been made. For years, when Bitcoin wasn't yet known the mainstream thought that it was nothing but a scam. The sportsbooks that have made their business out of it were the first to benefit from it. Yes, the factor of making one safe with their privacy is one major thing before but this has also changed. And well, it's your take whether to think about it positively or negatively because even it's a Bitcoin bookie, you will eventually asked for your kyc based on the rule that they've got.
1238  Economy / Economics / Re: Good and Bad at the same time - Mega entities hold $ 14 billions in Bitcoin on: August 30, 2023, 08:24:29 PM
We have to embrace this reality that's happening that no matter how decentralized is the goal of Bitcoin, we can't stop these entities from holding large amounts because they're able to.
The extent of bitcoin distribution among users will not harm the decentralization of the network, so no one can force you to sell bitcoin, even if the supply in the market decreases, the price will inevitably increase.
Imagine that out of a total of 21 million bitcoins, 12 million of them are in the hands of central parties. It is true that they can influence the price if they suddenly decide to sell bitcoins, but the presence of bitcoins with them will cause an increase in the price of bitcoins as long as they have diamond hands. Decentralization could be severely affected if there was a centralization of mining conditions and we had a pool or two, or an international regulatory framework was put in place to ban Bitcoin and imprison everyone who deals with it.
That's right, even if these large amounts have been taken by companies they hold no custody of our coins. And if you have been in the market for so long and didn't even manage to collect a few when the times were still early then that's a missed opportunity and problem you just made for yourself. Even I, I made a lot of mistakes that I've sold too early and I think this is the concern of many of us in here with these companies. They can dump any time so do we but they can't force us to sell or buy if they want to because the decision will still rely to ourselves but whatever we do, they'll continue to accumulate.

I think Im going with different approach on this. Its either going to be 2-0 for Entity or Luna is going to somehow win this
You're right as well that Entity made 2-0 against Luna Galaxy. 3 more teams remaining for the WEU, Team Secret against Quest Esports and whoever wins this will be up against Luna Galaxy to take the last remaining WEU TI spot.
1240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How late is too late to place a bet for a gambler? on: August 29, 2023, 08:47:42 PM
So many leagues and tournaments across the world have resumed preliminary matches of the season, as well as bookies and online bet platforms have rolled up their sleeves in response, to provide the best odds and bet options for its customers.

For so many reasons a bettor or gambler might make a late last minute decision that can either make them win big or lose big or prevent them from losing much bet on games they have played.

In order not to over stretch this topic, I just want us to dialogue candidly on your personal experience as to the one time you were so late in making a bet, but had to do it anyways.
 Did that last minute bet make you win or you lost more and regretted the decision?

How late is too late to place a bet or make a wager in both online and offline games and matches?

Are there also good online platforms or betting sites that have good last minute betting options for matches/games?
I don't bet in last-minute bets even if the bookie opens it to everyone. I just don't feel that there's a need to catch it up especially when the game is live and already happening. I don't think that it's giving me the confidence to to bet for that moment because before I place a bet, I am doing my research. And when I look at these scenarios, this is like tempting every gambler that the bookie is giving everyone one more moment to place more bets that could make them win but mostly, lose them money.
