You are not alone in your bitcoin regrets. A lot of us have missed the opportunity of buying it while it was still very cheap. We could have been millionaires today. But lets not dwell on it anymore as it won't be helpful for us to grow in the future. Like OP, don't be bothered anymore on what you have not bought in the past. Learn and invest in bitcoin, Im sure this will lead you to a lot of bigger opportunities once you succeeded from it.
I guess the majority of us have that regret related to bitcoin. Let's make it a lesson learned because we can't go back in time and we need to move on and keep on moving forward because that's how should our progress must be. And not only with bitcoin but with some altcoins too.
That will be a never ending thinking of that regret if we keep dwelling on that mistake in the past. We don't have a time machine to get back and hit the jackpot but we just have to bear with things right now.

I almost thought we'll be seeing a third game because that second game should've been a win for SR but Team Liquid was able to hold on and stop their power spike during the 20+ mins mark.

With SR knocked down to the lower bracket it looks like we could possibly see a matchup between them and EG if they can beat Team Aster tomorrow.


They really will be matching as Team Aster have been beaten by EG but we don't need to wait until tomorrow as the match will happen after the series of Talon and Team Spirit. If you want to bet for that match guys, my tip is that Shopify Rebellion has got the upper hand on this match. Why?
Because Evil Geniuses just came from a tough 3 matches against Team Aster and that has probably drained their minds already. Whilst for SR, this is their only match for this day. I wonder why the scheduling is like that but well, since it's in the lower bracket, all of the favors and toughness are in there.

I want to know the opinion of our community that which is the best option. Just do both trading and holding. You need to trade most of the bounty tokens/ coins 🪙 to exchange with the top altcoins bitcoin. And hold the potential altcoins to wait for the raise of their price. I do this way to gain more benefits from the values of the coins/tokens.
You already know what you must do so just keep that moving and be consistent and always get to have bitcoin. You might have some good potential altcoins to hold after dumping all of those bounty tokens or coins. But you should also be prioritizing having more bitcoin with those gains or before you buy another altcoin, don't settle for not having bitcoin for every purchase you make. Because that's the best strategy that someone can do and based on my experience, it is really the best thing to do.

Well, for me, Floyd Mayweather is not such an iconic boxer, I am sure that many know well who Pacquiao is before him, I cannot deny, he is a very intelligent boxer, he knows how to handle fights in a totally technical area very well, but sometimes Sometimes that is something that is boring, we as fans want to see more action, we want to see technique and we want to see what they are capable of, that they reach the limit, maybe things are getting more demanding for this type of boxer.
I know what you feel and that vibe is the same with many boxing fans. It's true that he's a living legend and he's got a good and clean record but he's not really an icon to many. I don't know maybe that feels about how he's interacting with fans and the charisma isn't just the same with other real icons that we can say like Pacquiao, Marquez, and other boxers that have been knowing for the past years. And it even made his reputation lower when he's doing some exhibition matches as it's intended to make money just as his alias.

Get some idea of where you should keep it through this stickied thread about wallets: [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?
It's never an advisable thing to keep your bitcoins in the exchange if the sole purpose is just to save them there. Because you don't hold the keys so you don't anything yet there if it's in there. Once you place your order from the exchange and your bitcoin is already there, you have to withdraw it and move it to your chosen wallet of yours like Electrum.

This major is a complete disaster! The pause between games can go up to 2 hours and even after 2 hours , the production cannot be sure if they can resume the competition or make another quick check and I thought ok , it's only 1st day , things can be resolved with a decent IT crew specialized on streaming and using OBS, which I'm more than familiar and they should resolve it quickly but I guess no one made a  backup configuration file.

Second day started with another 1 hour delay and it seems it will continue like this for the rest of the Major with at least 1 H pause between games, even if we switch from game 1 to game 2 or from a team to another.
That problem depends on the organizer, I remember the Shanghai major where it's truly a disaster and there were players' belongings and money that have been robbed.
Well, needless to say, the major is already in the playoffs, and despite all of those issues that have been caught and come out it still proceeded.
Right now, in the lower bracket, cast now your bets with the match of Talon and HellRaisers.
1907  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a Mainstream payment method on: March 02, 2023, 12:56:57 PM
Isn't it recognized yet that bitcoin is already in the mainstream as a payment method for some? Yeah, some because many consider it as an investment but payment platforms that come from the big exchanges like Binance Pay, Coinbase Pay and other exchanges and platforms that focus on servicing crypto payments are already there. But talking about in general about those people that don't really like the idea of bitcoin as a payment, it all starts with they have lack knowledge of it so they don't understand the whole thing.
1908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still believe in bitcoin? What's your percentage? on: March 01, 2023, 11:39:49 PM
If you have been in Bitcoin for over 4 years and have passed through bull and bear markets, you have tasted the benefits of Bitcoin already, I don't see anyone who had already gotten into this phase backing away from Bitcoin and facing fiat again. 100% immutable.

BTC is just more than a decade but once BTC has made one informed generation, the information will be passed on to the kids and to many generations to come.
We can't blame those people that have less experience in the market and with bitcoin's sway motions. It's gonna make them doubtful because they haven't seen how the market cycle for bitcoin. But those people like us even if we've got regrets about not buying early and selling at the top, we knew how it will go eventually for the next cycles and years to come. Despite all of those missed out opportunities, this won't make us doubtful on bitcoin because we've seen how it went far and moved as low as it can get on a bear market.

EG with the lead after map one. I felt like Beastcoast drafted a bit out of their comfort zone here, not used to seeing Dark Mago on Lesh but I am not following them that closely so I could be wrong.
As for Dark Mago, I think this is his comfort hero. Game 1 didn't really go well for beast coast as Dark Mago's ember was totally bullied by C smile.
The 2nd game is ongoing and it's on 20 minutes mark I like C Smile's rotation and almost controlled the map but then, beastcoast's counter with bloodseeker on K1. If we'll talk about the late game in this match, the bear of Pakasz will be having a stronger chance of odds of winning the game. Both teams got good disablers and with a mark of mid-game, it's more now of a team clash and I'm liking what I'm watching now.
Beastcoast got magnus and treant for massive disable while for EG they've got blackhole only.

Still about Dota 2 for this news. I'm sure many of you guys are aware of BTS Pro Series' and how many seasons were there from this tournament. Just to inform you guys that the organizer/production company, BTS(BeyondTheSummit) has ceased its operations. This is actually a bad news, with few production companies like them that have been in esports for 11 years, it's sad to see them go. No longer showcasing talents from small teams and aspiring players through their tournaments like the known BTS PRO Series.
News: Beyond The Summit Shuts Operations After 11 Years of Shaping Esports

Valve decided to let them go IIRC. Their viewership isn't that great compared to the past years of them airing and hosting tournaments. From a business standpoint, I somehow agree with this decision. There's a lot of talents in there during tournament proper, and aside from that they are also responsible for the prize pool. They've gone under, and at this point it's best to leave the scene and move on.
It's just so sad to see them go, they've contributed a lot to the scene and that's why it's heartbreaking. I even saw their production having a sponsor like Coinbase and that made me feel great as someone who's in crypto and at the same time in esports as well. Anyway, that's it and yeah, it's still a business and that decision is for the betterment of the path they'll be taking.
Going back to Lima, Tundra is out after being beaten by Team Aster.
1911  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are investors so sceptical about Altcoins? on: March 01, 2023, 08:26:59 PM
Altcoin have led many into bankruptcy, and at that, it is not advisable to invest in coins, this is why most potential investors have a drawback from altcoin.
In a general talk about altcoins, only a few of them are worth taking a shot at. I've done and missed a lot of opportunities and that's why even with those experiences, I'm still trying to catch some good pumps with altcoins but only with the good ones. I don't randomly choose any of them because from what I think, there will always be a huge market to it but the bad thing is that they're scattered and there are too many of them in the market. And to those that don't like them anymore, they could be maxis or have got a terrible experience investing on it.
1912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time is the most valuable thing on: February 28, 2023, 07:04:50 PM
That's true that time is one of the most valuable things in the world, it is limited every day hence, it's scarce. I have nothing against those that are in the corporate world since we're just the same and there are people that are forced to stay in their jobs because that's what they think is best for them and there's job security that they really like to have. They choose needs over other things such as giving themselves free time for many other things like their family since in the first place, they're doing it all for their family. Having bitcoin as an investment and earning from it, really is a life saver that has given a lot of folks more time to themselves and to their families but not all do have the same experience.

IMHO, those gamblers that are doing it for fun have even the control than those that are gambling for profit.
If we are just doing it for fun then we will get out early but if we are seeking big profits then we will get engaged in some kind of aggressive betting that can make us addicted towards gambling which should be avoided at any cost.We all need profits in gambling but always in this hope can lead to worse scenarios.
It varies then for each of us what we think is right, so, there are gamblers that do it for fun and yet they are still in control. But that's just my opinion that they're having better control over themselves than those that do it for profits.
@everyone don't miss Duelbits clash of gods, it's until March 5 and there are still less than a week until the deadline.

Hope is not too late and hope I’m welcome here.
You're welcome here and it's for everybody to come here and we'll welcome all of you. And nope, you're not too late to buy bitcoin. It's been said that even like 5 years or more, many have said that they're also late in buying bitcoin.
But if you'll think of it right now, were they late in buying bitcoin back to those years when they said it? No, so just as you when going back to this date and realize the question you've brought up, you'll see that you're not.

I am not very aware how the matches are lined in the playoffs,
You can visit the liquipedia page which is where everyone is checking out the matches.
https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Lima_Major/2023


but I think there is a high chance that EG and Shopify will meet each other. Anyone excited to see these two teams fight each other?
Not really excited about that, I don't even think it's a rivalry since it's a normal thing for an organization to replace their roster and have it with another optimistic set of new players that they think shall raise their banner into a better place. The chance that these two teams will meet is if both of them advance to the upper bracket finals or if they go down to lower bracket semifinals.

Very hard to predict group stages so far and I would not be surprised if Gaiming Gladiators will reach the finals but on other side , Liquid are looking pretty much unstoppable as Tundra really have no chemistry during this new meta. Maybe SR with RTZ to have a strike of ego in order to reach the finals but we all know how the old EG style ...they go almost unbeatable in group stages and as soon as the upper bracket begins , they are crumbling in both strategies but also fighting style.

But overall , how did Knights ended up in this Major ? They are simply a TIER 3 team without any doubts and the cheating scandal around them seems to be half true as without vision , this team are looking nothing like pro players and it's a shame that they ended up here without Valve having something to say about this but I'm also sure , we won't see them in any majors after this and I also expect them to slow down the domination in China DPC league.

Funny or not , BetBoom are already out of the Major and let's not forget that they are the main sponsor of the tournament lol  Grin Grin
Well, it was really unpredictable and the group stages have ended and there's now the bracket ready for the playoffs. I'm still in awe how did Knights ended up in the Lima major if they've been proven to be cheating on their qualifying games.
I've read someone say that they can't really make it up on this major because there's no map hack. It's funny for real and they did ended up too early on this major but here comes the actual games on the playoffs until the semis and finals.

However, if a user gambles only for fun and can't control himself during losses,
IMHO, those gamblers that are doing it for fun have even the control than those that are gambling for profit.

he should choose a casino with a feature that forcibly restricts access to gambling, either by time or by the amount of money lost.
Duelbits have it as well the self exclusion and if someone is struggling to control his/herself, they've got that feature to know more about it. They've made an article on how it can be done: Self-Exclusion from Duelbits
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this help you win when you're gambling? on: February 26, 2023, 10:18:28 PM
So i wanted to share the things i have noticed before when i was regularly visiting a land base casino during weekend and sometimes after work. I have noticed several times when a person was winning more than the usual in poker, i usually approach that person after he left the table what was his secret for those wins, i was literally surprised because 7 of 10 people whom i have asked answered they play gambling trying not to win but to have fun after a long tiring week of work or business.
Those that you've asked and if they're winning, they won't say anything for real. The chances that a few of them are saying the truth is slim.

Does anyone of you thought that playing for fun helps you think better and win with less effort especially in poker than having the mindset of trying to win? Because when you are trying your hard to win, it will make you overthink and that your mental state will get stressed out.
I think this will work for both land base and online casinos.
Every gambling game will be said to be played for fun only. You don't have hard feelings into it when you lose and if you say that you're gambling for the money, you're doing it wrong. But if it helps you to think and will push you outside of stress, you know what's best for you and how to think of it.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: February 26, 2023, 02:30:23 PM
I'm hooked on Esports today but focusing on Dota 2 more and I took this bet , hoping Ehome will win 2nd map as 1st map they managed to trow a pretty good advantage to TSM.
Ehome lost 2 games against TSM. And with that, they're at the bottom for group A together with Execration. Still, there are about 2 days for this group stage to end. I'm not just sure if that's enough for them to recover until the end.
Aside from that, there are still about two matches that haven't ended their games yet that are still on the first game.
The matches are beastcoast and Entity, Shopify Rebellion, and Knights. This is for group b.


Ehome was really trowing away the 2nd game as the odds skyrocket to x8 as soon as the picks were made. Why ? Because they don't know how to draft against other teams that are not from China area , and the AI automatically saw that draft as a losing one , giving the opposite team a 80% winning rate before the game even started.

Today , I'm looking for a great day in Dota 2 as I really deserve one... starting with PSG and Tundra taking 1st map.
I think they just simply f*cked up with their draft and TSM was the better team. Last day is in and we get to see those potential teams that might be the next teams to be out of the Lima majors.
All matches are only going to be still as a series of 2 and those that are at the bottom has to win their matches 2 consecutive times or else, they'll have their farewell to Lima.
