On the 5th map - Nuke, I thought that Team Falcons would be able to come to the lead that Team Vitality has.

That was an interesting ending for both teams, Team Falcons still did well but the title is for Team Vitality. Just after the IEM Melbourne, they're quick to take another championship.
It did look doable after they secured the remaining rounds at the end of the first half from down 1-7 to 5-7, but Vitality didn't slow down and continued racking up rounds after winning the pistol round in the second half.
Yeah, I've seen that moment and I thought that Team Falcons is going to take the lead. Team Vitality was good when they were the terrorist although they're also good with counter-terrorists. I'm just impressed with how they've played that map.

At least we'll see a new team winning the upcoming PGL Astana tournament since they probably withdrew again, just like the other top teams.
No Vitality there and as well as Team Falcons. So, that's right. We'll see another champion after this PGL Astana.

Who could they be? few days remaining for it to start.

Re: Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation in 2025?

There is no problem if the institutions are also here. We're all the same and we want to make profit from Bitcoin. If they're starting to notice how profitable investing on Bitcoin is, they're also not late.

And for the newbies and even the old time investors, we understand that when they are up for something, it shouldn't be ignored. They don't want to be late in the party and they see Bitcoin as an asset which is a great hedge against inflation.

That is a fact and everyone who hasn't realized it will be on the same position like the banks when they've mostly ignored Bitcoin when it was cheaper.

It's like poking with a stick to a bear - he may not notice you for a while, but when he is - be ware of what is going to happen.

The same applies to bigger players and BTC.
 Wink
Not really. We have to embrace that these big players are staying with us and we have to be open with that adoption because just like us, they're part of it.

These big players in the market will totally come with us together. And what we, the small fish on this huge ocean needs to do is to go wherever they go.

That's the easiest strategy that the others still don't realize to follow.

I'm riding my Vitality ticket all the way, and hopefully, they close it out before Team Falcons wakes up in the second half.
Your ride was a good one, Vitality won again. The map should have ended on the 4th on Mirage, but it didn't.

~snipped~
I think that victims who have been scammed was due to the hurry that the scammer does to them. They have to remember that if they've been rushed to do the transaction and checking, they have to look at it as a sign that there could be some red flags already.
Exactly! That part I bolded for emphasis is laced with salient message and I want to believe that genuine newbies on this forum and greenhorns to P2P (it doesn't matter if one is a veteran or high ranked here) should take note of that part.

What I do when I've an impatient merchant, whether on an exchange or on telegram group, is to slow down and spend more time running through the transaction I've with them. Trying to hurry me up activates my radar. I've saved myself from falling victim more than three times that way.
That's right, you have to do it slowly so that you can always review if you're doing it correctly. And if the other end is on a hurry, let them hurry on their own but you're not going to move as if they're predicting the entire transaction.

You just can't do what they like without verifying that everything has been done already accordingly. Most of the newbies that have this kind of merchant, they usually panic.

They're putting pressure so they are predicting that you should do it already but do not be dictated by them.

More and more restrictions and limits and all things to make you yourself harder to use your own money but banks use your money to make profit you get nothing of this and top on that you Pay them fees.
That's how the banks work. They use the deposited money by their customers so they can earn interest from it.

It's like they gamble with your money and you even pay the. Fees for that.
It's not that they gamble our money, but yes, if we want to withdraw money and it's not an associated ATM, we have to pay the fees.

Banks, imagine you have friend who is gambler you give him to hold money and you pay him fee to hold lol too.
They secure the money though but forget about the idea that they're gambling it. Because they earn interest from an assured way through loans.

Re: Isn’t it kind of killing the fun if we try too hard to control our emotions?

I would say that just keep things balance. Because when we're so emotional and we're not controlling it, worse things could happen to us and our money.

It's no longer a theory when we don't control our emotions. And for that reason, we have to make ourselves in the right state when we gamble.

Yes, we can have fun and have some little happiness but there should be still a limitation to that so that we won't be too much to ourselves and effects of it.

Shouldn't this topic belong to the Politics & Society and not Economics? If the tension increases for these two countries, there will surely be an economic impact for both of them.

But one thing that most of us notices when there are wars happening, the price of oil increases due to the usage of the vehicles and moving battle vehicles that they use for it.

And that's what will happen for the global finance, everyone might feel it especially their citizens first. For the crypto market, I don't know yet.

There are a lot of scammers in the P2P market, and that's why, whether you're the buyer or the seller, you have to confirm that everything goes well for the other party first.

But the burden is with the seller when most of the buyers are scammers, and they'll fake it that they've paid them already.
Yeah, I have friend being scam in the P2P market, so we really need to be very careful on who we dealing with. I mean we just need our common sense not to blindly trust anyone even if they say that they have send the money already we need to check our wallet first if indeed there is the transaction.
The atmosphere changes when someone inexperienced or quite nervous is on the actuality of the trade. And that's why they panic and they become a victim of these scammers in the P2P market.

So, always verify when someone is very active in the P2P market because the scammers aren't choosing their victims. As long as there is a potential victim to them, they'd scam them.
I think though that the exchanges should also scan everyone before making them a buyer in the market. Because there are really too good to be true offers and it really sounds like a scam so the exchange should flag that.
Well, there are some disclosures and also the self awareness that we should have that they're telling us. And as for experience, we already are aware of them and so, it's just about us and how we're going to deal with these scammers.

But the burden is with the seller when most of the buyers are scammers, and they'll fake it that they've paid them already.
That's why we shouldn't rely on SMS alerts to assume money has been sent. Opening one's banking app and verifying from there is the best way to go. One won't ever go wrong going that way. That's how I go about mine. However, most sellers are often in a hurry to conclude transactions and won't even verify all that. I've read here where a member said he was tricked by a buyer who didn't send complete cash. If one is careful to run through transactions, one should be able to identify any discrepancies in every transactions. Scammers don't have the luxury of patience and that's why they will always rush their victims through any transaction. To disarm them, slow down their rush/hastiness.
That's right. It won't cost a lot of time to verify it on the actual banking or wallet apps that we have. The time that we're going to spend on that is going to be better than having a potential scam because of our negligence and laziness.

I think that victims who have been scammed was due to the hurry that the scammer does to them. They have to remember that if they've been rushed to do the transaction and checking, they have to look at it as a sign that there could be some red flags already.

So, always verify when someone is very active in the P2P market because the scammers aren't choosing their victims. As long as there is a potential victim to them, they'd scam them.

You pointed out big problem with P2P market which is that there are many people trying to trick others. It is  good for both buyer and seller to be careful and make sure other person has done which he/she must do.
You also mentioned that it is mostly harder for sellers because some buyers will pretend they have paid when they have not. This means sellers need to double check that they have received money before they send anything.
It is also good idea to be careful of people who are very active in P2P market. Scammers mostly try to do many deals so they have more chances to trick someone. So if we are using P2P trading we needs to stay alert and check everything carefully to avoid getting scammed.
Yes, it's the responsibility of the sellers to check every transaction that they go through. Because if they're careless and just doing it based on the trust they're giving to the buyers, they're mostly going to get scammed again for a period of time.

That is the reason why we have to verify each transaction that is paid to us. This gives everyone more caution because it didn't happened just a few times but for so many times.

Those that are very active in the P2P markets, all you have to do is to verify every single time you have a transaction in that market.

Re: How Do We Encourage More Women To Embrace Cryptocurrency.

on 02/05/2025, 00:09:18 UTC

The best explanation to them is by telling them that cryptos are also real money in the sense of digital. While there is digital money that are coming from e-wallets nowadays and even e-banking.

Crypto is the same, but it's not the fiat money that we use to transfer from those platforms. Women that think crypto is a scam, they're not wrong because some projects are also scams but they are generalizing it which is wrong.

Trust me, if you're able to make some conversion and give that money to them from any altcoin that you own or bitcoin that has been sold, they'd easily believe.  Wink

Re: I'm already happy when my bankroll lasts longer...
by

on 01/05/2025, 21:33:35 UTC

That's what I’ve been thinking lately because it seems really hard to win in gambling, no matter what game we're playing. In the long run, we still lose. So, I think this is our fate, instead of aiming for ultimate happiness through winning, which seems almost impossible, what’s achievable now is just making our bankroll last longer than expected.

So how about you? Are you happy with that, or are you ambitious enough to aim for a big win, and maybe long-term success?
I would be happy if my bankroll lasted longer than expected. It becomes an achievement for me, too, and that's why.

I won't complain anymore if that's what happens to me because as long as I have enjoyed and my money lasts longer, that has become a goal for some other gamblers already.

While there are times that I am ambitious, who isn't? We want to win big and bigger as we see that the possibility is there.

Even bitcoin's adoption is still low, just imagine what bitcoin's price growth will be when the entire world accept bitcoin as an alternative means of payment and every institutional investors are accepting it, 1 million for a bitcoin will be easy.
I agree that it's still low, if it covers most of the population of the world then it will be reaching that price very easily soon. We're not in a hurry but we all knew that it's going to happen.

My future prediction is that, by 2040 we'll be seeing bitcoin catching up to gold's market cap, slowly but sure.
That's 15 years from now on. I think from that span, there can be a lot of things that can happen so rapidly. With the adoption that's happening with the governments and financial institutions.

It can even be lesser than that but it's a safe bet.

Finally I got 400 USDT back on my account with no issue.

Fortuneately, I avoided the fraud and I'm not going to continue the trading on that platform.
If you're able to get that amount and that's more than the amount you've deposited at first, then it means that you've scammed the scammer?

I completly agree with you that it doesn't look trustable and there is no information about the ownership who managing that platform.
Only my concern is no option to delete my account on that platform but there is a service suport chat. I will try to text to them and request to delete.
You don't have to delete your account there but the next problem that's probably boggling your mind is if you pass on KYC there.

Did you send your IDs for verification(kyc) before you're able to withdraw money you've requested?

Great job for collating the threads about the discussion of luck. But soon, we might see personal threads that are sharing how lucky they are because they don't know on which topic to post it.

And because they're so happy with what happened to them, they want to share how it went for them. With that kind of experience, a gambler that's been overjoyed by the results will tend to do that.

It's nothing new because IIRC, there were threads like that in the past as well that have been made on this section too.

They are real but there is so much happening into this world that it's not getting into the spotlight anymore. It might be too much to watch them at all times when tariff wars are what we're hearing all.

AFAIK, there's some convention that they're going to have but I have forgotten the date for it. More countries are joining them and let's see if they'll also going to retaliate with what Trump does.

He seems putting too much pressure against China with all the buzz that they're making so, BRICS is still there but it's not getting the attention.

Re: Who needs luck?

on 29/04/2025, 12:07:11 UTC

A lot of us say that if we want to win, we need luck. But is that really how it works?
I mean, luck isn’t something we can control or predict, it just comes when it wants, and sometimes, not at all.

So maybe it's time to stop relying on luck to win. Instead, focus on strategy, do your homework, and enjoy the game.
And if it’s a game where luck really decides everything (because of the house edge), then treat it for what it is, entertainment, not a money-making plan.
We're gamblers, and that's one of the most desired things that we need to have when we do this, and that's to have luck with our bets.

But we can try that, always, of what you say about focusing on strategy and doing analysis, because they're also necessary. So, you've done your homework and luck will come to you naturally if you've done all of those things to increase your chance of winning.

And, we're always telling everyone to gamble the way it is and to have fun and not to focus on it as a moneymaking way.

Just to mind you that the last 21 millionth supply of Bitcoin is going to be mined somewhere around 2140. And we're all dead by that time. I appreciate the calculation and all of the theories.

Thinking of someone should own just a few mBTCs is fine if we're all covered with this study. But not everyone is going to own Bitcoin and the mindset should be like this;

Accumulate as much as you can and let yourself be focused on that process before it's too late. The biggest companies are taking themselves busy on the accumulation while the individuals have been distracted and still doubtful about this financial technology shift.

I don't own that website. Scammer who is pretending to be senior crypto analyst is offering me to invest the Bitcoin USDT and use that platform to trade.
I have highlighted the part that it's a clear sign that you should talk to that person if they claim having that position.

There is no such as senior crypto analyst and that's just an acclaimed position that they're telling people to fool them. And if they insist and pushy for you to use their platform.

That's the other sign that you should just ignore and block them wholly because they are eager to scam you and any amount that gets into their platform is considered lost forever and you've been certified scammed by them.
