because it takes large funds to be able to invest in bitcoin.
If you're going to buy 1 whole bitcoin then yes. But don't forget that you can buy in bits and little amounts depending on how much the minimum amount is being asked by the exchange where you're buying.

there's nothing wrong if you want to take on debt with the aim of buying bitcoin
That's not advisable and many will agree that it's a bad idea to take a debt for buying bitcoin even if you can afford to pay. Much better to just save that money and buy later on.

So it was really confirmed by Dana White that both Elon and Mark are really serious about this, and he said that it is bigger than the Mayweather and McGregor fight, so it is still about money, and at the same time it is like another showdown between giants of tech companies, which means it is not the same as other fights as most of them are celebrities or come from another sport. Let's see if this goes through. Let's just hope.
Yeah, this is finally gonna happen. This is exciting to watch, these billionaires that are being put in a ring and they'll have their own derby and clash. Whatever they're up to, they're just making themselves funny in the eyes of the world but I don't think that they would care at all about what people think of them. Because in the end, this is just them enjoying the attention of everyone that's being set on them. It doesn't matter to me whatever their fighting skills and background are and whoever will win.

OP, when you invest in Bitcoin, you don't invest on any platform but instead, you just use these exchanges to buy Bitcoin and then later on you'll be the one to hold it.
Investing in platforms doesn't sound good if you're into Bitcoin because it's likely that you're depositing it on these Ponzi schemes and you're not safe with those.
They'll promise you to earn hourly or daily and then will show you percentages of returns but all of those are just projections and fooling you until they're going to go away with your deposited Bitcoin.
1484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What tips you will give to a new investor to identify scam projects early ? on: June 25, 2023, 11:54:30 PM
when the devs are so money oriented, you know they don't care about the project at all but only money is of their interests.
Yeah, this is a red flag when they talk about money, money and none other than money and returns.

i've seen many projects that ended up become scam have the same stingy devs that are just there trying to get all the money.
Greed is on those developers and that can't be helped and stopped unless all of them have become exposed to their nature. That is why as an investor and if you're wth these projects that still gives you interest, you need to safeguard yourself and have a standard the least.
1485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: June 25, 2023, 10:45:31 PM
Yeah, this is a business that the management will determine it these incidents are likely to happen. They've got a lot of money ready to be deployed if ever they ran out of it and someone wins big at unexpected time. They've got ways of controlling winning players like discouraging them and limiting their wagers.
So the casino does have the power to control players, so they can't always win big. Perhaps, only a few players can get big wins, but others will suffer big losses. A casino that owns its business will not allow all of its members to win big. And if a player who wins big doesn't stop playing, then that big win might turn into a big loss, so that will eliminate the money they won before.
They can adjust everything as they're the owner of the casino business, so owners can do that and they've got unlimited power to adjust everything favoring them. But if no one is winning such huge wins, that will be noticed by most players. Not a problem for them to allow someone to win big or just a few of them but look at the games that we're talking about. Because if they've got no control over it, I mean if it's about the luck-based games, people will win no matter what chances they've got.

Even so, casinos still have the opportunity to go bankrupt because of their players' winnings.
I don't think with established ones.

Mate, it's totally boring and one-sided, while watching it I knew it when it was likely about to end. Team Secret has done it perfectly because they've got the Medusa and the game needs to be long but Nigma doesn't like to push that much because they're also going on with the long game. That very last push Nigma did on the bottom tower of Team Secret, after attacking and throwing some skills, they're quick to TP but then Puppey's enigma was there and all of them(3) got blackholed.

I didn’t finish the game because it’s so damn slow and full of farming. But as I predicted, Nigma Sven failed to reach Medusa and it punish them big time when Dusa already have lock item since his split shot is very painful specially for the backlines that already in range due dragon lance enhance range. I watch the replay and Nigma doesn’t even close on taking down Medusa since he is always being controlled by Blackhole when he is trying to close the gap.

Pretty one sided but still props to Nigma for making this game very long.They have a chance if Sven can wieout the backlines which didn’t happened.
I thought that they can have some chance against it but no way. And for this MENA qualifier, the winner as Quest Esports. And for the champ of the Dream League Season 20 is none other the Gaimin Gladiators. Dude, this team is unbeatable every stage tournaments.
Honestly, I want them not to win this DL20 because they've been dominating all of these teams, somebody stop them. Now next, the Bali major which will happen on Thursday. GG is also participating there.

This scenario is very hard to happen and very hard to imagine that it would actually happen,
For the big casinos, this is unlikely. But in the new and middle term of their operation, this is possible.

I mean it's not totally impossible in a certain way but given the fact that the casino got a vast amount of money on their stash also mean that it's kind of almost impossible to do because that player/gambler will have to accumulate all the existing and remaining luck in the world in-order to get a very massive win and make a casino file for a bankruptcy.

But I'm not sure if their Sven pick can reach Medusa on team fight. I like Secret draft.
It's a team play and I know that it's possible but we'll see and I also like Secret's draft too.

Agreed on this part, But Sven being kite on most of their team fights by Medusa. The game is very slow and both teams are farming hard. I don’t like Medusa gaining items for Nigma because this will make their support more squishy with just a proper blackhole. They just need to target Lion then Enigma is free to place his blackhole to Sven and the others.

It’s very boring to watch the fight now. I hope they will just clash. I’m dying to curiousity on how will Nigma kill Medusa with their line-up.

Game 3 is on the way, Nigma finally have a decent draft.
Kuro is playing Undying so he's back to pos 5. I don't like what Kuro is doing, it seems that he's into something but doesn't want stability for his team. As of watching game 3 now, the match is so close and it's at the 19-minute mark.

But I'm not sure if their Sven pick can reach Medusa on team fight. I like Secret draft.

1491  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between pi and bitcoin on: June 23, 2023, 07:14:56 PM
I do hope that OP and the others will do their research with due diligence and will find it out that there's nothing for this coin to its interested people. How many years has it been in its own community and yet the updates are always like giving them the news that "soon" they'll be able to make money from it and sell it from exchanges but after all of those years, people should notice that they're hoping for nothing upon waiting and being interested in this coin. Do not waste your great times on this token and just go ahead and accumulate for more Bitcoin and that's a better idea.
what bothers me with Pi is where they keep offering and continuing to recruit new people who still don't understand how the system works.
I don't know in other countries or maybe other regions, but in my area, many people are even willing to go around every corner to offer mining Pi and what they target are ordinary old people who just seem to give more hope to other people. this layman.

I don't mind if they do it themselves regardless of what they are doing and what they believe is their right but when it comes to poisoning others with something like this especially to people in my territory this is exactly what bothers me a bit , not that this is a threat but with this a lot of new people who are new to the situation in crypto and Pi get misled and make this a big mistake.
It's because of ignorance, it's so sad that there are a lot of people that wouldn't care about the data that they're sending over to the pi developers. They're being exploited by these as they've got their own application where everyone visits and those visits are converted into cash. While these people think that someday it's gonna be worth of wait for them the reality should stick in their minds that there's no way that they'll make money from it. But instead, they're the ones that's helping the devs to make cash out of their presence on its platform.
1492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think it's still wrong selling properties for Bitcoin? on: June 23, 2023, 12:05:39 PM
I am this close to making double of my money yesterday when I looked at my Bitcoin wallet, this was the Bitcoin I bought at 17k with two acres of farm lands I sold in 2022, I still feel very happy right now because of my decision, I believe that some risks are worth taking and mine is paying off, some people tried to talk me out of this, if I have keep the lands yes it could grow big in future, but the fastest growth of Bitcoin is far more enticing for me.

I am not trying to tell anyone to sell their properties to buy Butcoin, I have more lands that's why I am able to sell for Bitcoin, I think it's wrong having a land or two and sell because of Bitcoin, but if you have more, it's going to worth the risk, nothing grows insanely well like bitcoin does.

I am excited to see how 2024 and 2025 will play out, tell me, is anyone taking such risks with Bitcoin investment? Do you think I went too far selling something as valuable as lands?
Could be that you went far because there goes the what if but the bottom line here is whoever does this thing should carefully think of it before doing so. While you're in at good situation where you've got vast land. Some probably also did this but that's their very land and there's no other back up that they can source out if ever something goes wrong with this decision. IMO, there's nothing wrong into selling or properties or lands or anything you possess as long as you know what you are doing.

I'm curious why Team Secret has to play being named as "Team Secret ME" and with other 3 players.
There's probably a rule that each team needs at least three players from MENA to be eligible in the qualifiers. Renaming their qualifier squad to "Team Secret ME" might be for convenience, and it makes sense since Puppey and Crystallis are playing.
Ahhh, you're right. And that's why the three players that they have are from that region, the Middle East. And Riyadh masters are gonna happen in the name itself and that's why there's ruling and the same goes for this DreamLeague. I get it now.
I'm trying to look for news if Armel and yamich are out of Team Secret but it tends out that they're no news about it. Later on we will see if they'll proceed to the finals against Quest or they'll be beaten by Nigma.
1494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: June 22, 2023, 08:16:24 PM
Earlier, there were games for the Riyadh Masters MENA Qualifiers as well and Quest is one series away from winning the spot as they're already in the finals. I'm surprised that Team Secret made their way into the qualifiers together with Yapzor, but I don't think they can beat Nigma Galaxy when they're playing with a complete roster.

It's another adjustment for Team Secret if they've got that roster without yamich, armel, and whoever they'll get as an offlaner. Yapzor playing as an offlane is new but I know that if you've been a good pos4 or pos5, you're also a better offlaner. I've thought of this mena qualifier that it could be with the Quest and yes, they're just a few games away on it. Whether it's gonna be Nigma or Team Secret, that's what I think that they'll win this ticket to Riyadh masters. I'm curious why Team Secret has to play being named as "Team Secret ME" and with other 3 players.
1495  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I strongly suspect a sinister move here. You? on: June 22, 2023, 06:28:32 PM
They're just trying to reduce the competition but even with that, it is the people that will still choose at the end. There's an edge from these government-backed exchanges because there's a "safer" approach to them and they will be considered more trustworthy than the ones that don't have the government on their backs. Well, it cannot be gone that Binance and other known centralized exchanges have got the people's trust already and everyone is free to choose which exchange they'll use. More competition, hopefully better services.
1496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: June 22, 2023, 05:12:04 PM
As a morally upright person that does not like to cheat people, but gambles and has lost a lot of money to gambling in a casino where you have sometimes been cheated even without your knowledge or betting on sports, will you take an opportunity you get and go against your moral standards to cheat a casino or sportsbetting place, just so you can win big at least even once.

Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out? Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?
I'm not naive to think that there's a way to cheat on the system. If someone tells you that then there could be a plot that's being set against you. And if it's about fixed games, I don't even think that it's even possible to get a tip from anyone even in the slightest possibility.
I believe in karma, so if you've got any intention to cheat and you did it, it will comeback to you. It may not be on an instant, not for now but soon it will be back in some other ways to you.

I feel bad for you guys that have collected that token and yet still do nothing and are not even tradable. However, please correct me if I am wrong.
Indeed, this shitcoin cannot be traded until now while the PI coin on Coinmarketcap is IOU so anyone who owns Pi from mining results until now cannot be traded.
I do hope that OP and the others will do their research with due diligence and will find it out that there's nothing for this coin to its interested people.

This is just based on my opinion.
Bitcoin = is 100% good.
Pi = 0%.
I guess that percentage rating that I've given between the difference between Bitcoin and that coin that you're asking about is clear on what I think about Pi and Bitcoin. I feel bad for you guys that have collected that token and yet still do nothing and are not even tradable. However, please correct me if I am wrong.

Watching Betboom getting the upper hand on Talon so might put some money on them along with PSG-LGD for the next match.
Talon won the series, the 2nd map and 3rd map of Betboom didn't look good and their mid wasn't impressive. GPK is too slack on those matches. If you did put money on Betboom on this series, that's okay. And despite being totally eliminated on this tournament, Team Aster will still have matches but it won't affect their elimination.

Meanwhile , Bali group stages were revealed this morning and I was shocked to see Nouns making to a major  Grin Grin Grin they are like 4th spot in NA ...and we all know that NA are bad in dota for quite some time now.
NA is an easy region honestly. It's like just them, TSM and Shopify that gets on the finals of every season or tournament that they are participating. Dendi's team was also on that region but he's too old and we have to accept that fact.
