741  Economy / Economics / Re: You are the product. Corporations spying on us deeper than we thought? on: November 25, 2023, 09:49:34 AM
I  noticed this way back in 2019. After having a conversation with my colleagues at work about a certain item we should get, I went online to do a few stuff and hey! Different brands of the items we talked about were displayed as ads. This broadened my curiosity,  how do they get this information?

Seeing this again on this platform and with the similar experiences from different people, it is obvious we are being  spied on! Come to think of it, what were we expecting when we ignorantly agree to terms and conditions that grant permissions to Applications to have access to our calls, messages, galleries and others on our devices? As long as we keep granting permissions, nothing changes.
That's why there are content creators that are making fun of these spying apps and devices. Like for China, the brands that they have for Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE, and other known brands came from them. There's always a debate not to use them but why not when most of the manufacturers of devices are found there.

We don't know what they inject into their chipsets what they are using to program it and the contents of it. That's why we're no way out from these spying and just disable like the suggestions of the other members here the microphone you have and don't forget that you're always located even by Google, even our moves from streets to streets.

We are their products, they track us anytime, they know where we can be found and what we like.
742  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? on: November 25, 2023, 08:57:36 AM
There are some old people in my family which are paying cricket fantasy games. They usually talk about the games and their performance is matches almost daily. It is obvious that if any younger guy in family will listen about this, he will also be eager to know more about this. How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?
You'll have no way on stopping them if it's the talk in your family. But if you can change the attention of theirs by having some other things to get introduced to them. Then that's possible that you'll revert the attention of the younger ones into the things or hobbies that you're going to tell them.

So, it's all about distraction and it will depend on how interesting is the activity, story or anything that you're going to say to them. Because if they don't find it attractive and they're just going to give you an idea that they don't like to listen to you, you just have to give it up and despite being concerned on them, you did your best but they've chosen what they want to hear.
743  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can government track us. on: November 25, 2023, 07:58:02 AM
If you're not careful where you are sharing your personal information and it's all over in the internet then yes. But if you're like a hermit person and you don't share anything online even photos then you're unlikely to get tracked. However, let's get into the reality that most of us share all of our personal information on social media, on government websites, and in banks.

That's why they can gather, the government, all of those details if they're tracking someone. They can easily have access to the information that you've provided for the past years with your registrations. Whether it's a government registration, or a website registration, as long as they've got leads of your tracks or footprints on the web, it's possible.

And if your government has a lot of budget for information technology then think of it that they're going to do anything with their resources if they need to focus and track someone notorious. They won't just track someone if there's no reason for it. But they can know our tracks and what we do.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: November 24, 2023, 11:36:04 PM
Speaking about going back in dota scene then there's no way that we could be able to concluded or tell that they wouldnt really be going back.
Just like Ceb?. Even there are rumors that "Ame" would be going back too. So there's always a possibility of comeback not only just on the game. hehe
I've read that rumors that Ame is about to comeback and I think this is going to be a common thing now in the dota 2 community. Whenever someone says about their retirement, expect that it's just like a temporary rest for them and they're going to comeback for sure. Because they'll miss a lot of actions, tournaments and of course the prizes from it.

This is their lives and livelihood and any opportunity that has come to them will be missed. They've got contracts, sponsorships, etc. and more and their talents are being appreciated and that's why they're likely to come back. And as you've mentioned Ceb, he has said it twice I guess and look, he's still going to play with OG and I think that's fine.

He's doing the right transition that the oldies should go into a position 5 where they can just command and think of the plays focusing about the strategies in game while the core players, positions 1,2 and 3 will just have to focus on their goals and roles for the teams every match. Who are still those players that have said their retirement? I've seen many of them that have transitioned into casting and streaming. But the most recent one, I think it's just Ame and faith_bian.
745  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: withdraw Litecoin from exchange on: November 24, 2023, 10:44:08 PM
Right, it should be the Litecoin network as everyone is saying. I am not sure if there's support from wallets about Litecoin in Bep20 (BSC) and that's going to make no sense as Litecoin itself is cheap and fast. What is this exchange that you're withdrawing from? There should be an option to choose the actual LTC network than of those smart networks from different chains.

btw is LTC still the best option to use for withdrawals?
One of the best but there can be other options that will make you choose them like if in Tether, there's the common one that is being widely used for TRC20. But let's just go with that and say yes that LTC is still the best option for withdrawals if you're trying to avoid the high fees of Bitcoin if ever you have no other choice at all. But have a look in the mempool because if you're trying to withdraw money from an exchange and you have it on BTC, you don't have to exchange it anymore and just withdraw directly from it because fees now have gotten down at least.
746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 24, 2023, 09:48:39 PM
When you can't help or control yourself in gambling, that's when the real problem starts. I've been there earlier and I regret it terribly. There was a time from 2016 to 2018 when I took betting as an occupation. I literally was never off prediction sites and betting platforms. Always expecting sure games to drop with my account already funded to stake it upon sight. I was so distracted in my schooling and mostly heartbroken when I loose good money cos I bet big for my level. It was a disaster when I even had to use my feeding and textbooks  funds to stake with the  hope of cashing out big time.  Most of  which failed me. I  healed by myself and promise myself not to ever bet again, but that didn't  last for long cos I still  bet up till now, although very much moderately.
Good for you that you're likely healed now from being an addicted gambler. Because when you go to that point in your life and you can't control it anymore, what you need to do is to take some rest and realize that you can't be against yourself but you have to control it by doing it slowly but surely.

You may not be able to do it instantly but what you must do is to take the necessary steps just like what you did. Because if it's already affecting your personal life then gambling is going to ruin your usual things even schooling and that's going to give more bad impression not just to gambling but also on you because you can't control yourself anymore.

But if you are the person that don't want to dwell into the swamp of failures and rejects and frustrations, you want to get up and prove yourself that you can do better. Even if you don't have to prove it to the other people but just prove it to yourself that you can be someone else and better than your last version is already more than enough.
747  Economy / Economics / Re: Entrepreneurship and women on: November 24, 2023, 08:33:32 PM
I think a woman entrepreneur's will power is what makes her successful. Now in our country many women are seen to be associated with various trades like men. But the people of our society do not look favorably on women going outside the house to do any work. In today's era, many women want to achieve economic success on their own rather than being subordinated to men. However, many women entrepreneurs are running towards their own success without listening to the society.
It's because they're seeing that there are more women now that are working alone and finding success to the businesses or trades that they're in including the careers that they're in line with their paths. Before it was a different thing when the view for women were just staying at their homes and taking their families but wasn't it the ideal task of a woman?

Also, many women have a good focus on cryptocurrencies.
I don't think that there are a lot of women who are into cryptos. But sure that it's going to be a matter of time that we'll see that many of them are also in here. Because the market keeps on growing and we'll see that the interest from different kinds of people, men and women are going to be gathered here.

According to me, the government of every country should create opportunities for every woman entrepreneur
Don't worry, most of the countries have equal share and treatment to women. But it's just sad to see the reality that there are still some countries that don't.
748  Economy / Gambling / Re: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers on: November 24, 2023, 07:49:20 PM
People tend to look for excuses when they feel guilty
I guess it's a normal thing when we feel guilty, we try to find some holes that we can reason out for that mistake we've made.

so first step is to understand that it is ok to make mistakes, that you are still a human being capable of improvement and adaptation.
Exactly. There's no problem if we make mistakes as that happens for sometimes but it won't be normal anymore if we keep making mistakes. But other than that, when we make mistakes, it's also fine to admit it and then just do our best to correct it.

You are not bad because you are gambling too much, you are bad if you decide to do nothing about it. Forgive yourself, move on, change and improve.
Just be the better version of yourself. Sometimes when we can't forgive ourselves, we're staying to that part that we can't do better because we keep on dwelling in the past and that makes us stuck there. I agree that someone who's struggling to quit just need to admit first that you made a mistake, you're addicted to gambling and then try to do something to move on and make use of your time for some other things.
749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Just HODL But HODL Wisely and Securely on: November 24, 2023, 06:40:09 PM
Hodl. Ahh the nostalgia hits reading this post. Who else.
No longer feeling nostalgic on this one because it has been a daily word for most of us.  Grin

It is the right time to hold. People used to hold good volume of cryptocurrency, but the mistake done by them makes the holding go unused. Whether it is very few dollars worth of cryptocurrency or a huge amount of cryptocurrency, we need to be more responsible in keeping it securely. The control should be with us, We should never let the fund stored in a third party platform. We may think it is secure and the platform will take responsibility if some hack/issue arises. Not at all, they'll just show the terms and conditions of them and move on.
The sad thing is that there are still people that let third party control what they are holding. They think that it's still the best option after all even if there have been incidents that it's not the best place and option to do. With having those experiences from the others that they don't have whole control to their bitcoin and other funds that they're allowing to be held by any platform.

That's the time that they're losing it all. Because instead of having a full custody to what they own, what matters to them is the trust that has been built through these platforms and they think that it's totally fine to get on them because they have been said to be trustworthy. But it's not all about the reputation but the reason why you're allowed to hold your own key when you choose to hold it on your very own wallet that provides you the seed phrase or private keys.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: November 24, 2023, 05:47:56 PM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.
IMHO, the only connection that the rich become more of a winner is because they've got more bankroll than the poor gamblers. That's the only thing that I can think of and that's why they can stay longer as they gamble and have more chance of winning. The poor gamblers, don't have that much bankroll they just need to lose a few times and they're out already.

I don't have any idea how you got this on your mind. But whether you are rich or poor when you gamble, you don't control the fate that you'll have and the results of your bets. So, if you're lucky and great this day, you are either of the two then you're likely to win most of your bets.

But if you are not lucky at all, the problem that you'll have is the losses that you'll acquire during your bets. There's no way to determine just because you are poor or rich, you're going to incur all of those losses no matter what happens.
751  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What’s your portfolio building strategy for crypto? on: November 24, 2023, 02:40:04 AM
Build around Bitcoin first because that sets the foundation of your portfolio. And when you have enough IYO of Bitcoin then that is the time you expand onto the AI tokens or cryptos that you think will maximize your profitability on it. But you also need to remember that not at all times it is going to be profitable.

There is no need to complicate things when you invest because that gives you idea already how strong a portfolio is i you have bitcoin on the side. That is the best strategy that many are ignoring because they think btc is expensive and they will make more money from doing it mostly with alts.

If you can do a bigger portion of your portfolio with btc, then you are doing better than the rest that has bunch of altcoins but most of them are just shitcoins.
752  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people give preferential treatment to mothers more than fathers on: November 24, 2023, 01:33:09 AM
We are the same. I am more close with my mother than my father. But I now understand why is that. And that is because we boys are provider and we need to provide more time to our jobs and livelihood so we can provide for our wife and child. That is the reason why the bond of stay at home moms and kids are stronger.

And I think that special treatment is already embedded to the women and we respect them more than the boys of our own. I believe and still think the traditional woman should stay at home and take care of their family, the husband and their kids. But these times, we are showing on how good they are for being working moms.

That is actually hard when they have decided to work and at same time take care of their children. As long as they have money for nanny, the taking care side becomes easier. But is still best for children to grow up with their moms and dads than with the care mostly of their nannies.

Team Secret can always surprise, even if few people believe in him, I have been convinced of this more than once.
I am one of the people that didn't believed on them but that's good as they're going to be serious with most lan tournaments these days as they've missed the last TI.

Congratulations to everyone on the release of patch 7.34e. In a small update, they nerfed some heroes that had high win rates - Bristleback, Chaos Knight and Spirit Breaker. Finally, I'm tired of seeing them every time.
It's always like this. Valve always nerfs what they need to nerf. Going with some tournaments now as with Pinnacle 25 years anniversary. There's a 10-day matches for all the group stages. That's a long one and 8 teams are going to be eliminated as they proceed to the playoffs. The prize pool isn't a lot but this is a good alternative to watch in the EU region and see some potential players. So the child prodigy named, satanic is playing for the yellow submarine. Let us see on how they're going to end on this tournament.
754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Often Do You Check Your Seed Phrase. on: November 23, 2023, 11:17:04 PM
I don't check it of actually opening it but I can see where I have placed it. As long as it's on my vision, I don't have any problems with it. My house isn't crowded too and it's far from the reach of children and that's why I don't have to check it but it's a good reminder to have it checked maybe a few times in a while because you might not know that the words have already been blurred and the ink of your seed phrase is fading.

Almost never,I always have this though that if I check often I may slip and make some mistake and leave it in the open or someone might see it, once per year maybe.
That's also what I am thinking but as long as I can see it on the specific place where I have kept it, that's better. I have no idea about air, stuff or chemicals that are on the wind that will make it vulnerable to cracking or whatnot depending on the material where you've kept it. But most of us are keeping it in storage and writing it on a piece of paper. That's why the materials shouldn't be exposed to some air, I'm not a science guy but something like that makes the materials weaker if not placed on the right area.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: November 23, 2023, 10:50:47 PM
apart from being a casino owner, someone can also get a steady income from gambling by becoming an influencer and referrer. because i have seen several people on twitter who have been successful and have a lot of wealth just by being an influencer and referrer for casino sites.
There is no doubt being an influencer or promoter of a casino will get you steady income for a specific period of time. Because what I know is that they're contractual and you'll just have to wait until it expires and if the casino you're endorsing is going to renew it for you and have you signed again with them. But that's a good amount of money if it's coming from a known and generous casino. And for the referrer, do you mean the affiliates? Yes, they're also good source but the job is hard to build your network on it and have active referrals.

because i have their income can reach tens of thousands of dollars in just a few days from streaming and referring people to casino sites using their links, and this is a very enjoyable job by just sitting in front of the camera, they earn money from the casino and share from referrals.
It is enjoyable but it's like a nonstop promotion because all they focus is to say good things and attract more gamblers on that casino and they need to make it look the best that they can. When we're just watching them, it seems enjoyable but it's hard. They need to hit certain metrics I guess or depending and based on the contract they have signed.
756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: November 23, 2023, 10:19:36 PM
True, if you are open sharing your winnings even in small portion of it then you must know your friends, as it's true that you can't avoid those people who are only beside becuase of their needs and if they don't have any they'll be out of sight, for sure most of us here understand the value of friendship and with how this topic went through. There are situation that we can't control when money start to control our minds.
Those are not friends but people called 'users'. They're users of their friends and are only there when you have something to give them or they see that you've got something that can be taken by them. These people are pro and they are not friends in times of needs but they will be there when they have some needs that can be seen to you.

Avoid these people and only give to your real friends that whether you give something or none, they'll be at your wings and they won't reject you whenever you have nothing to give them or it's just a casual day that you are going to meet them. It's hard to find real friends nowadays and you got to see them on how they do in life.

Because if they see that you're winning, they're also going to think that you're winning without anything to ask to you in return. But that's just a normal person that wants to see some of their friends win in life. But if you're the one that's going far away from your friends because you've won, well, it shouldn't be their problem as it's your personal decision of what has been done.
757  Economy / Economics / Re: Imaginary Future on: November 23, 2023, 09:35:42 PM
One can sacrifice his own happiness but he cannot sacrifice the happiness and desires of his family. One can control his emotions and live a life without success of his dreams but I don't think that a parent will ever invest by sacrificing the dreams of his children. It is reality that if you sacrifice something then you will get more than this even present will be more better than past. If you sacrifice your dream to buy a bike due to the reason that you have to use that amount for bitcoin investment then I think that there will be a day when your dream will change into reality because bitcoin is the only hope of people who cannot make stable life with a single or no salary.
When someone grows up in a loving family, that's for sure going to be one of his goals. And that is to make his family at their best situation and will fulfill the needs when he or she becomes a working person. But you know what? This is what we call the sandwich generation where the parents are still reliant to their children even if he/she is grown up or with own family.

There is nothing wrong with that as family is forever but it's not prepared by the older family to make their children prepare for their own happiness. So, that's why stress is coming and obligations thinking that he/she should take all the burden and sustain the personal and old families needs.

This generation should break that chain and from you and me will have to stop it. Our kids should enjoy their own money in the future and we need to prepare for our own retirement so that they won't be stressing themselves thinking about us. There is nothing wrong if someone is lovely to his family. But these days are hard when most opportunities are very competitive and limited and rates are not that much.

If ihave 1k how much to use margin for safe trade
Don't margin trade because it's not even safe at all for those who have no idea how it goes. Keep that $1k in Bitcoin and by then, you'll have that safer side of the market.  Wink

To hold position for say two days

And which safe laverage to use
There's no safe if you are going to leverage. You say that you want to hold the position for two days. Then go to a spot and never try to think that you can adopt margin/leverage trading too easily when you have just talked about it now. But if you insist, learn more about futures trading and that's going to give you an idea on how brutal it is going to be for the newbies that don't know yet how to go along with it.

Yes I think we all was thinking the price of BNB would go down alot.
Everyone was thinking that it's going to be that the price would send down for BNB because of the news that we've seen but we're all wrong on that part because it seems that BNB just retained the current price that it has got before and after the news. Not that much major or grandstand correction or price pump.

And if you do hodl the coin then you canbme ok with what the price is.
Yup, I'm still okay with the price and that doesn't give me that scare at all. As long as it is moving not that low at all despite the situation and news that we're having, it's still fine honestly and it has been stagnant for how long already. I thought that we might see $700 during the bull run or even higher than that. But if my expectation won't exceed or reach that price, that's not a problem.

So now the US prosecutors think if CZ goes to UAE he might not return for the trial. So they want him to remain in the US.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-prosecutors-want-binances-zhao-remain-us-until-sentencing-filing-2023-11-22/

No doubt that Ethereum can reach that. Remember that the ATH of it was nearly $5k? So, that means to say that the 2nd top ranked cryptocurrency in the market and globally is likely to reach back that point and $3k is just going to be its passage. Because once we're back in the bull run, the price of Bitcoin will be up and the same goes for Ethereum and it can be higher than $3k.

The projected price of it is even $10k for the next bull run. I don't know with those predictions but can say that everything is possible on this volatile market and with Ethereum. You just have to get on your shoes and be prepared when that happens because we don't get that often when the bull run comes and if it ever reaches that price again, it can be back again to a low that we're not thinking.
