Well, if you've said the potential for him to lose and to profit and so I guess that's enough already for your friend to understand that Bitcoin isn't just an overnight investment that people have been misleading of.

If you didn't convinced him and you just told and introduced him to Bitcoin, it's not your fault if you see him or he actually sees that the market is dropping and his entire portfolio or purchased Bitcoin starts to drop in value.

You've explained well to him that he could profit and lose from it, so, that's all about he has need to know. It's also possible that he had made his research even before you've mentioned it to him or just after he heard it from you.

From my understanding, it's all about Bitcoin being the solution for most of those problems. Yes, there goes El Salvador and Central African Republic that did adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender.

However, they can't skip these problems even if after the adoption has been done. These inflations, debts and other cause that will make a country's economy in a bad situation are typical factors that has to be dealt with.

But no doubt that a country that does adopt Bitcoin will have another source of their economy's breath and life.

I understand something, if we have btc, we want to buy Fun tokens, that's fine, but right now, I don't see it as very feasible to withdraw the fun tokens, why? The market is fluctuating, we know that bitcoin is about to jump up, we don't know when, but it is giving it, however I am one of those who think that we can do these things very prudently and we can make smart moves when it happens It is about investment,for example,I would recommend leaving the toeksn fun,bitcoin removed,and wait for a rise in bitcoin, and see if it is useful or not to withdraw, remember that we are something like investors here and therefore you have to take those They teach so as not to lose.
It's a majority concern when we're about to buy tokens like FUN and we're not yet eager to use our bitcoins for it because of the fees that's we're seeing.

We're like in the middle of the potential bull run of bitcoin while we can't move as of now freely because the fees are stopping us and we're not willing to go on because it's kind of expensive or not that much expensive but we're not used to it.

Those that are waiting for the moment for Bitcoin to go and rise, just be patient and those that are holding FUN tokens. Just wait for the altcoin season too.

Speaking of Old G, it seems that PuckChamp has taken the entire roster. So coming from Old G, they're now Puckchamp. Will still wait for the official announcement.
It looks like they had enough of it and just decided to pay their way back into Div 2 this time though Ceb will be the offlaner and Aramis will be the soft support for the team.
It's possible that they've bought the slot or it's that the org of Puckchamp have contacted them and wanted them to play for them. It's either of the two actually.

But looking at the actual page of Puckchamp of liquipedia, it's still the old roster that has been there. And there's this note on the page of DPC WEU division 2 that says, this is what the editor of it found from the current DPC registration.
Note: Roster based on public announcement and DPC registration.


The old LGD squad is looking to return as well after they took the slot of YBB gaming, I don't trust their carry player as much though since he wasn't that great during his time in XG but I still hope they get at least top 4.


I think I've seen play lou before but because his team wasn't really popular back then, it wasn't noticeable. But this is a good thing that the crave for the international stage was with chalice, somnus and fy. They only need one more and that's Ame.

We might see some roster change just for them to give way for Ame then and he'll get out of retirement to go back in the pro scene. Who knows?  Roll Eyes

It's true that we should take our coins off exchanges but only if you are reasonably tech savvy and know how to protect your private keys. For others who are less able and are more used to online banking then pick a good one like coinbase to do it. Showing someone to buy a ledger wallet, setup the secret phrases, hide it (but make it restorable in a fire), learn how to withdraw etc.. I'm sure they rather just leave it in paypal and accept the higher fees
Nope, you don't need to be tech savvy for you to be able to keep your private keys. Just follow those tips that have been said like not storing your private keys on cloud storage or by simply online.

Don't save a record of it on your email or social media accounts. That's the weakest way of keeping your private keys. And you don't have to be too techie on it because by simply writing your private keys on a plain paper, that's it.

Now, the next part of it is how you're going to store that paper in your house. Well, you know your house or apartment better so keep it on an area where you're the only one who knows that it's there.

When you read about the success stories with meme coins it's hard not to take a punt and gamble a bit. The variety is a big draw as well, so many altcoins to choose from. I'd say it's mostly gamblers than pro investors, especially during this meme season
Yes.

They're mostly gamblers and that's how they're taking their bets on these meme coins and having that thought of being successful with these pump and dump markets.

We can also say that they're pro on this because if they've been doing it for a very long time, and they're profit from it. Then, that means that they're good at what they do.

Are there Old G fans here? Remember when they've been defaulted because there's no resolution and kitrak to play for them since the two played stand in in the Berlin major?

They're forfeited for their division 2 slot and has to go through with the qualifiers.

Old G disqualified from DPC WEU 2023 Tour 3 Closed Qualifiers
It's a hassle to go through more matches but it is what it is after what he said in that tweet. As much as I like the guys on Old G I think Ceb should've let that issue go instead of releasing that tweet which set the team back even further.

Also, Aster picked up Sumail from Nigma Galaxy which isn't surprising because during the major there were a few posts about their former midlaner Xwy getting unlisted from Team Aster via the dpc registration site.
We're seeing a lot of roster changes and teams are getting serious as we're about to see the end of these majors and the qualifiers and points counting for the The International 12 is at hand.

Good for Sumail that he's taken by Team Aster as he did really well. There could be some communication barrier between him and other teammates but it seems nothing at all as he's willing to adopt. I've remembered one incident before when matumbaman was kicked by either Team Secret or Team Liquid(old Nigma). The chinese teams were interested in taking him.

Speaking of Old G, it seems that PuckChamp has taken the entire roster. So coming from Old G, they're now Puckchamp. Will still wait for the official announcement.

Seleri and Tofu are really a good tandem, no offense to other pos 4 and 5 support tandems but them, they're noticeable and have brought the team very well.

Seleri has been a silent beast since Team Tickles and all it needs for him to get that Major title is for his team to get better and for the patch to favor them. They really do well on high-tempo heroes and Seleri knows this as the captain of GG. The patch also made these high-tempo heroes a lot more effective because of the map control those teleporting things give. Overall, GG played extremely well against a team that also uses the same strat thanks to their captain who knows how to play with heroes and maps in this patch.
I can't agree more.

Overall, GG adopting Quinn as their mid from major to major, all of them performed well. If there are some mistakes, honestly, I don't see any of it from them except when Quinn was flamed in the mid lane but he's still able to recover from those continuous kills on him thanks to his teammates.

  • use your money to benefit others rather than yourself
I guess there will be people that won't approve on this one including me. It's like we've been working hard to provide for ourselves and family. I see no problem helping others with our money but this isn't a forced action, this is just like a voluntary deed when you've got some spare.

But not an obligation to be done.

  • delay consumption
This is more like delayed gratification and I practice this. It's helpful to me to give me discipline on how to handle my money and I don't buy unnecessary things even if it's already giving me the chills that I want to.
1029  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is bitcoin a good option for a beginner in Cryptocurrency? on: May 09, 2023, 09:34:49 PM
Am a newbie I need more detailed clarification and explanation from senior colleagues here on the best Cryptocurrency to invest on whenever i have the funds and how to go about it.
If you want a clearer explanation as why people here mostly tell you to buy bitcoin and that is because while Bitcoin is highly volatile, let's say that altcoins are way more than Bitcoin's being volatile.

There's so much happening in the alts market and a beginner might be overwhelmed with that and while having Bitcoin, it's more of a relaxed way of investing on this market and from there, a newbie can learn a lot by just observing with his very first Bitcoin investment.
They’re both risky actually, but bitcoin is way more profitable and more secured investment compared to altcoins. That’s the reason why even long time crypto investors still chose bitcoin over a lot of altcoins. And for beginner investor like you, if you want to succeed with bitcoin, don’t invest for greed and expect short term profits, but focus more on long term hodling as that will promise huge amount of returns in the future.
And there might be people telling that the fees of bitcoin right now is high so choose altcoins. Well, just so they know that the fees in some alts are expensive as well as of the moment.

But these are just temporarily and won't be like that for most times. Although we're not guaranteeing that someone will make huge profits with bitcoin but it's like the gold standard for the crypto market.

And that's giving the idea why newbies should choose bitcoin as their starting investment upon entering the market.

But in GG, even if he goes aggressive, his support is always there on the right place to back him up. And it is working for them for quite some time now. Even on this new patch, they quite adopted very quickly and maintained their dominance in DOTA 2.
That and having an active squad hunting in different parts of the map is much needed during this patch since kills are more rewarding and their drafts are too good.

1031  Economy / Economics / Re: Have a Income? Invest in Crypto or Not? Let's think realistically on: May 08, 2023, 10:20:21 PM
In my opinion, the best thing when we invest is when we get income, the mistake of many people is that they invest by selling or getting into debt without having income so when there is a little price fluctuation, we immediately panic, if we have income, we will be calmer and not panic so we can focus on the target the profit we set.
That's not just the case, whether you invest with loaned money or not but you have come unprepared for that risk then you're doing the wrong thing. There are too many investors that are going with the wrong way as they think that it's something that they shouldn't worry about.


What I want to convey here from my experience is Be good at self-management and strategy. Don't be tempted by what we see. What we see is not necessarily easy when we do it. Classify your investment type. Don't mix it up. If one is destroyed then it cannot affect your other investments/businesses.

Well, are there any additional tips on trading and managing finances from the salary we get or experience similar to mine? Please share here. thank you..

This story is only limited to my experience. And it is not meant to be solicitation or patronizing.
Thanks for sharing this experience, this is what's wrong with today's generation. When people see others doing well in a particular investment, they're all diving and jumping in on it thinking that they should be better as well.

But little did they know is that there could be some other investments where their fate is coming and should be better for them. That idea of doing others investments is likely gonna work for them but in reality, it's not.

Another looking easy win for GG.

Well, there's still some 1 win from Team Liquid and from all of those matches that they've got, this is the only one win from them against the Gaimin Gladiators.

The rest, they're all losses and that means a lot to them and also for GG. We can say that they're the strongest team right now and hopefully they won't choke on the TI.

I feel the Vibes of Tundra last year on them. The only difference was they are very consistent when Quinn added on their roster. Quinn is carrying more the team compared to Dyrachyo because he always dominate the mid lane on the lane stage while still have a strong finish on late game.

So far he is the best mid laner that even Nisha is having a hard time to match him. I think they will not choke because they can easily adapt on the new patches. Maybe having an incomplete roster is the only way for them to choke assuming they will continue to play like this.
I wouldn't compare the role of Quinn and Drachyo but it's true that the impact of Quinn really is visible and can't be ignore when he's with the team.

They're winning major after a major and then is now near to securing a slot in the next The International. Team Liquid secures TI slot and GG is the 2nd of the dpc ranking so this will still make them secure the slot even if there will be another team that shall be in there.

Not that much points to cover those that are at the bottom so this means a lot for GG, whether they participate another major which will be the last one or the other DPC tour, that won't matter anymore as points will be lacking for most teams securing them that slot soon.
1034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: May 07, 2023, 08:16:46 PM
GG wins on Dota2 ESL Major. Liquid doesn’t have a chance to win game 4 to tie the score. I can’t believe that they let GG pick all the global presence hero like Wisp and Underlord while they doesn’t have one even a sustain heroes. They only have frost armor and that’s all. They can’t take down easily even the support of GG because of wisp sustainability.

Still Team Liquid do a nice job here from close to early elimination to grand finals. GG is just much better overall and very consistent. Quinn is very strong on this team. Supports works well with his aggressiveness.

Never heard of them.

Much better to direct your cousins to the casinos that you know than of those that you're not familiar with. They could be good as they are but then, I've seen those stories that ended up with a bad result for those casinos that are not common with the majority.

You know better than them because this could just be a shill to them and you'll never know the real intention of those that have directed them through these casinos.
I agree, why bother to deposit in an unfamiliar website when we have a lot of trusted site to play with, or maybe the OP just want to try a new one and maybe this site offers different promo and features that's why he is asking about it. But my main advice will be, just choose those who are familiar with so that you will not get worried that the site will run together with your assets
It's always like this, we see people and most of them are newbies depositing into casinos that they're not familiar and even when they tell their story. The majority of the replies from other forum members says that we're all not familiar with the casino they've landed on.

Actually, it was a good situation that his cousin told him about this so that they'll be redirected and they can have a better chance in reputable casinos and even in the ones that he promotes or someone he used to stay with.

Just for the sake of having trouble whenever he gets a huge win, hopefully he does that to a much more reputable and known casino.

It's an industry that will just keep on growing, the entirety of the online gambling industry, fiat and crypto, will just go as if it's an unstoppable train.

We've seen how it went coming from a no-pandemic era, to the time that the height of pandemic was seen. And with other economic crisis, still this industry has never been stopped.

Although it's not going to be as lovely as it is everyday but sure, it will keep on growing until we see a decline.

What happened with Talon in series against EG? They played like they wanted to lose and they drafted like they wanted to lose also. I do hope this series will have a deep investigation because it's not normal on a Major for team like Talon to simply forget how to play Dota 2.
They lack of discipline on those times, I'm really counting on them that they should be the winner of that match up but they just can't beat EG in 2 games.

Kind reminder that 23 Savage is the highest MMR player in all South Asia so I doubt this super talented team can forget how to play Dota 2 in a matter of hours.
He may have the highest MMR in the region but the game isn't about individual game but it's still a team play that determines the winner of the game.

Well, upsets like this usually happens as there can be some factors of pressure from the audience and even the experienced ones have their downfalls that happens. Anyway, it seems that Team Liquid is also going to take the 2nd map against Tundra Esports. The standing with this match is 1-0 in favor of Team Liquid.

If someone who's a professional player, there should be some contract that they're not allowed to gamble. They could be allowed to advertise or have a sponsor that's a bookie and have it as their icon somewhere on their jersey.

That's just about ethics of a professional player and they should know all about it. The thing is, we don't know if all of them are following that rule and just as Jameson.

The prohibition of them to get involved in gambling because that can affect their performances if they've got bets even if it's just a penny, it shouldn't be allowed.
