Title: 📖🎂 [Closed for New Entries] Cloudbet’s Bitcoin Blogiversary Competition 🎂 📖
Post by: Cloudbet on May 02, 2019, 01:13:58 PM

Today the Cloudbet Blog (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=0519-blog-birthday&utm_content=blog) turns one year old, and to celebrate our first blogiversary, we are running a competition to see which articles have captured your interest this year, and what you’d like to see us writing more about in the year ahead!

That’s right crypto fans, Cloudbet is back with another free-to-enter competition for our Bitcointalk and Twitter followers, and this one comes with a whopping 0.21 BTC (€1000) prize pool to split between 3 lucky winners!


Entering the competition is easy as losing money on shitcoins!  ;)

- Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=0519-blog-birthday&utm_content=blog) article from the past year?
- The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!


This could be anything you’d like to know more about; from the details of specific cryptocurrency networks, to guides on altcoin trading - nothing is off the cards!


If you prefer to enter via Twitter, that’s fine too! Simply tweet your entry @Cloudbet (https://twitter.com/Cloudbet) including the #CBBlogBday tag which will be used for tracking entries.

Entries close on Monday 13th May, and we’ll pick our 3 favourite entries as winners to announce the following day on Tuesday 14th May.

The three winners will each receive 0.07 BTC, and will have their article idea written up and published over the next few weeks by our team of experts at the Cloudbet blog - how’s that for content on demand?!  :D


General Rules:

- Maximum 3 entries per account.

We listened to all the community feedback after our last competition, so this time entries will be restricted to Bitcointalk and Twitter accounts that are at least 7 days old.

Without any doubt (for me) it's the "IPL cricket bitcoin betting strategy guide": https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/12633-ipl-cricket-bitcoin-betting-strategy-guide

There are several points that was made on that article which were helpful for the users before betting on the markets. For example the tip below for the Most Sixes market:
Quote
don’t simply follow the odds and assume the favourite will win: Look for the ‘power hitters’ in each side and also, consider backing the weaker of the two teams once you know they are taking second knock.


Quote

I am a cricket fan, a huge fan. Please have some article on Cricket World Cup 2019. I would like to see one like this IPL article.

PS: There were some suggestions I left in another post for Ronnie. Reviewing those will improve the site experience (I hope).

Cheers :-)

Hi Ronnie.

1. Where can I spend my bitcoin? (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/10930-where-can-i-spend-my-bitcoin). As cryptocurrency is getting more and more involved, I found this article quite interesting, because it was something different from "go to exchange, change crypto to fiat money, buy what ever you want". It showed where directly crypto can be used.

2. Continue discovering places where cryptocurrency can be spend without converting to fiat. Once I have found on this forum a review from a guy that visited Czech Republic and went to beer bar, where only currency is accepted was crypto. He had a chat with bar owner, spend equivalent of 5 euro on a glass of beer and learned how to use his mobile crypto wallet :D

Writing an article about such an experience (or review of technology in real life) will be gold to me (us, forum members).

1. Once of the best articles I've read - Cloudbet’s fiat money review contest winners (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/promotions/11170-cloudbets-fiat-money-review-contest-winners). Was funny to read most of the entries.

2. As a fan of Boxing and MMA, would like to see more article about it. It should be like every UFC event review, but once a month could be nice. As well as boxing. World Boxing Super Series (Ali Thropy) will start soon. CRUISERWEIGHT - only 8 matches, hope it wont be hard to make a short review on it.

Reserve for my future entry! I miss this kind of competition Cloudbet!  :)


1. My favorite blog from the past year is about the 160 BTC big winner at Cloudbet bitcoin slots (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/casino/8452-216-btc-big-winner-cloudbet-bitcoin-casino) - This is so amazing and a lucky spin to that player. I actually admire Cloudbet for hosting this kind of game and being too professional on handling the customer satisfaction and on this blog Cloudbet will teach to how to spin well.

2. I'm a DOTA2 player and I would like to hear about how to bet on Dota2 using cryptocurrency. There will be up coming league on May 28 - June 02 2019 the ESL One Birmingham 2019 so it would be a great time to have some meaningful blog about it.

Here's my entry.

1. For all the blogs ive read, this one really got my attention till now.
https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/12831-50-shades-of-grey-markets-buying-bitcoin-in-nigeria

I love how the author combines his knowledge with his sense of humor to come up with a very catchy title. Not just because we love the movie but the title really fits it. He tackles and explains everything clearly like the decentralized market transactions which they called "black market". I am also surprised with the fact that the Nigeria is the 7th place in trading which is added to my learnings.


2. Since i am not into sportsbetting and that is kinda normal to make a story about, I would like suggest to see a unique article which tackles the willingness of people to bet into cryptocurrency. This is i think the most interesting article to do. This article can help us to know whether crypto casinos are popular already or it will boom louder in the future. You can compare a group of people who are already into crypto world and those who have an idea about it but have no account.

Love the initiative.

1) My favourite post is from 2018 and is about the 'Wisdom of the Crowd' (WoC) and how it relates to betting. I proceeded to do some further reading on the topic and used it in reference to a theoretical analysis of standard deviation in a university exam paper. Pretty random :D

Here's the post: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/9822-what-is-wisdom-of-the-crowd

2) Perhaps something satirical? Possibly a shit-coin analysis but with a comedic twist. That would make for some very entertaining toilet reading ;D

https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/13040-bitcoin-betting-academy-managing-your-bankroll - i like betting, not too serious, but articles like this help, there are couple of them I liked, but if i had to pick one i guess it would be this one.

- The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!
an in-depth guide to betting on esport games and similar, that would grab the attention of a lot of people given the fact that esport is currently really popular. the article should also explain what esport actually is and how it compares to traditional sports.

My favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article from the past year is this one - (Biggest bitcoin casino winners of all time).

https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/casino/11297-biggest-bitcoin-casino-winners-of-all-time

Some players won eye watering amounts of money & it’s great to read other people winning large amounts. It gives me hope that maybe one day it could be me. It gives me motivation to keep playing/betting.



The crypto based article I’d like to see you guys do next is maybe an article showing how much stakes placed by players have changed over the years based on the price increase of bitcoin over time. Also maybe include the difference in stakes people bet with during bull run vs bear market.

Just saw my PM, I wasn’t going to enter because I never win on these type of things but fuck it, I’ll try one more time.

My favourite crypto based Cloudbet blog of the last year or so is the one from April detailing The best sites to earn Crypto
https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/12240-free-bitcoin-the-best-ways-to-earn-crypto

I think it’s very informative for noobs, people who are new to crypto etc. It’s expensive to buy bitcoin’s now so it’s nice you guys could teach noobs about how to earn small amounts of bitcoim.

I’m really into football as you can tell by my username. Currently mourning our 3-0 loss to Barcelona :(
For the next year maybe it would be cool if you guys did a player of the month blog maybe starting when the new season starts next year in August. Something like the best player in Europe for each month, tell us what they’ve done in that month, goals, assists, matches won & do a background write up on the players early life & their career so far etc. Could be interesting.

Very cool competition guys, really like it :-)

1) There are a lot of (very!) good and informative articles, especially the crypto-related articles, so it is very hard for me to choose a single one. But since you can only name one, I would say its "What is a Satoshi and how much is it worth?" (no, not because its the latest ;) ).
Why? Especially for newcomers to the crypto scene, it's hard to cope with all the concepts, from blockchain, altcoins up to bitcoin itself.
As soon as you are getting involved more with BTC and co. you inevitably stumble on mBTC, Satoshi etc., where it is very difficult to find easily understandable and well-written articles and posts about these concepts. Amongst all of these articles out there yours stand out: super explained, super illustrated and very easy to understand.

2) Just in time for your first birthday I would be interested in your personal review of the last year as well as a look behind your scenes:
- How did you come up with the idea to launch the site? What was your major driver?
- What were your biggest concerns at first, and what do you think are the biggest stumbling blocks to get where you are?
- How did you feel in the first months after the launch when you realized that the daily user numbers are increasing?
- What do you want to achieve with your side in the coming year? Do you plan any major reworks of the site?
- ...
I'm sure, these and similar questions interest a lot of your visitors, so it would be great if you could post something in this direction!

Wish you all the best for the comming year!

Seeing the blog is pretty much covered with info from the how tos to different betting strategies for a change  i would like to see some guide on how to trade, interpreting graphs, candle stick movements and everything involved in there. Am sure most of us just know the buy low and sell high and we call it trading :D .

Post by: PrimediceRegistry on May 02, 2019, 06:59:36 PM
- One of my favorite articles on CloudBTCet is the core of Bitcoin - an explanation of satoshi and its value (article: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/13419-what-is-a-satoshi-and-how-much-is-it-worth (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/13419-what-is-a-satoshi-and-how-much-is-it-worth))

I personally think the whole "Bitcoin 101" series is written very concisely and cleverly.
Everyone should give this series of articles a chance and take a look for themselves: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/category/bitcoin-101.

- I don't have a single article I'd like written in the future.

Instead, I'm looking for more often additions to the Bitcoin 101 series, which can introduce new users to the world of Bitcoin.

Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article from the past year?

One of the best articles, in my opinion, is this one Three lost bitcoin treasures (plus one happy ending) (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11773-three-lost-bitcoin-treasures-plus-one-happy-ending), why? Because it tells of real events that most users do not know and that could warn people about the concept "my coins my keys"

Fun and interesting facts.

I'd like to see more of these types of blog articles, yes, we know you're a betting site and people should read about betting but it's not how it works! Like on youtube, people watch videos without searching for them just because they were suggested by youtube itself, often on blogs users would be happy to read correlated things to what they like (outside of betting) and the curious fact is often what people want.
The good thing about this topic is that it is great and you can find many curious historical facts like bitcoin pizza, the theory about who Satoshi is, 4 million bitcoins lost, etc. The subject is not an important thing but the type of news is.

https://i.imgur.com/JZncZoO.png?1

This Article Three Lost Bitcoin Treasures (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11773-three-lost-bitcoin-treasures-plus-one-happy-ending), makes me realize how important to have more back-up with your wallet keys and of course to have someone knows your wallet details so when you're gone, your money will goes to someone that you love much. This is my favorite not because of the sudden death of the bitcoin hodler, but it made me realize not to be selfish with my family.

Cryptogambling is about having fun, so I wanted to see a more funny articles about cryptocurrency and about funny moments on the gambling sites while playing. This can be a great way to have fun reading online despite of your losses!

The article I'd like to see is more on what the long term future of Bitcoin is to experts in the field; would it be as a currency or more like a stock?  Do people in the Bitcoin world really see Bitcoin becoming a regularly used currency.

Thanks!

Morning all!

I've just gone through and added all the entries to the spreadsheet - thanks to everyone who has joined in so far!

Some really strong requests already, but I'm not going to mention any favourites yet in case it influences future entries  ;)

Don't forget we are ideally looking for crypto-related content suggestions, however we will be looking at all the entries and judging them on their own merit.

Keep 'em coming!  ;D

I recently receive a personal invitation by cloudbet on my bitcoin forum messages. Im glad i can join again on their competition. Well anyway, here's my entry.

1. My favorite article is the link below.
https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/12228-what-are-icos-and-what-happened-to-them

Why? Because even though i knew most of this stuff, its still an article worth sharing for most especially for newbies and for those people who are confused in ICO. This article really explains it enough that even newbies who dont know how this thing works will understand it after.

Here's my suggestions

1. An article discussing different unusual betting games like cock and spider fighting,

2. Mobile games future crypto currency involvement, and

3. Real bitcoin millionaire.

that's because I follow a punch of premium tipsters and I was sharing my results with them here in the forum till I decided to stop sharing due to lack of interaction
but yeah following tipsters is really lucrative and is not really time consuming , unless people started following random tipsters of course

I would love to see more math involved in the blogs  like posting some stats about certain events and some blogs about how variance can take a rule in sportsbetting and what bettors should expect
not really sure what I want but I really like anything that involves math and stats

Hello!
I saw the opportunity to join your competition, given the blog's anniversary. So this is my entry.

Username: Theuberpicture@gmail.com


1. My favorite article:

 https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11131-why-matter-matters-how-blockchain-will-bridge-the-gap-between-physical-and-digital

Vinay Gupta is a pretty fascinating character - and I gravitate toward the real "big picture" thinkers. So, this post got my tail wagging a little bit.

Vinay, as the post mentioned, can definitely be put in a box with Elon Musk. I  see a little bit of Steve Jobs also. These individuals have the ability to navigate very large scale/macro ideas, while not losing sight of the specific topic at hand. It's rare when someone, with such deep knowledge and discipline in Engineering and Science, can comfortably guide the listener as he outlines his larger scale vision for a better future.
Clearly Steve Jobs was a master of this.... An audience, that showed up to learn about the latest Macintosh release, leaves with the belief that Apple is changing the world.

Moreover, it's always interesting to me how these leaders are able to form a partnership with capitalism. They start with a sort of grand Utopian idea, and then leverage capital markets to carry out their mission. Musk was able to fund and develop a space bound rocket by identifying and solving an economic need - delivering supplies to the International Space Station.

I enjoyed that post. Good read.


2. For my suggestion :
I'd like to read more about how blockchain can solve real world problems. How blockchain can be adopted and integrated to modernize everyday transactions between people. Could it remove the current over-reliance on faith and trust in finance?

- For example, how the relationship between a municipality (the local school), that funds expansion through a bond issuance, and an individual investor, who wants to purchase a bond to generate income, would look if it was done via decentralized peer to peer confirmations on the blockchain? Could the blockchain ledger be introduced to replace banks in this example?

This is my favourite article: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/9846-bitcoin-is-dead because I love the notion that bitcoin cannot be defeated, and that it is a honeybadger, doesn't matter what you throw at it it'll keep coming back. And it's a great infographic as well. Finally, it is a great reminder that 'experts' are frequently wrong.

These are my 3 questions:
1) What proportion of all outstanding bitcoin have an exposed public key (due to a transaction being made from the address) and are therefore, in theory, vulnerable to an attack by a future quantum computer, and is this a problem?
2) If bitcoin becomes a global store of value, is it dangerous to have 1m owned be a single individual (Satoshi)? Consider the power an individual with $1trn would hold today. Should the community move to burn Satoshi's tokens?
3) Is bitcoin's simplicity, its lack of features and its resistance to change, a good thing? Are these features or bugs?

I really liked your article about how to find and bet on tipster picks. (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/13370-best-of-tipsters-how-to-use-tips-in-sports-betting) It helps the newer people to sports gambling who see some guy on twitter with "100% LOCKS 🔒 and 🔥 picks" and pay them just to end up losing money because they don't know any better.

I think it would be neat if you had some articles explaining some of the more niche/less popular sports you can bet on, such as darts, snooker or even Cricket. They can be a bit hard to learn when you first see them, but can be really fun to watch and bet on  :D

(I hope this post that was more betting oriented rather than crypto is okay)

CLOUDBET BLOGIVERSARY PARTY INVITATION ACCEPTED


IDEAS

Cloudbet has time and again shown how much of crypto believers they are, and to secure a bright crypto future we need to stand tall with them. I know for a fact that the the crypto ecosystem is vast and to make this worth while for everyone a blog which will act as a public lobby can be used as a play ground for everyone seeing it is not limited to gambling only. To have an immediate impact and avoid biasness I suggest having topics that talk about altcoins that seem to be making headlines, talk about brilliant crypto pioneers and  developers in the crypto niche, new emerging technologies like lightning network and it's impact e.t.c, or better yet for the sake of gambling introduce a tipster thread or betting challenges to make the blog more fun eg a $10 to $1000 challenge and keep those expert guides/match insights going, I personally love them :)

FAVORITE CLOUDBET BLOG ARTICLE

You asked what my favorite blog article is, well you know what this was easy for me to pick because I joined crypto with the hope of earning free crypto(free money) and I literally started my crypto journey from here back when faucets were high rewarding and popular.. it's for this reason I go with this article 👇👇👇 as it pretty much narrates my genesis of how I got to be glued to this digital world of crypto

Hello to all!

I do not want to single out any one article, they are all interesting!  :D
But I liked this one more: What is a Satoshi and how much is it worth? (Posted on 2019-04-25)

For all the time studying kryptomonet, I saw how people are confused in units of Bitcoin.

And I would like to see articles about coins that work on POS and LPOS algorithms.

Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article from the past year?

https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/10726-5-infamous-bitcoin-addresses

The Bitcoin Pizza story is hands down one of the most legendary moments in Bitcoin history and my absolute favorite piece of Bitcoin trivia.
It will go down in the Bitcoin history books for sure.

The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!

Crypto sponsorship of pro teams and athletes is gaining more and more traction every day and some of the biggest clubs and most popular athletes have already struck sponsorship deals for lots of money. Crypto businesses are vying for more exposure and what's a better way of promoting their businesses than entering the sports scene with its huge following all over the world.  I think it would be a good idea to write an article summarizing some of the top deals made so far as some pretty well-known players and clubs are involved and I reckon it would be a very interesting read for all crypto sportsbetting fans.

Hello!
I saw the opportunity to join your competition, given the blog's anniversary. So this is my entry.

Username: Theuberpicture@gmail.com


1. My favorite article:

 https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11131-why-matter-matters-how-blockchain-will-bridge-the-gap-between-physical-and-digital

Vinay Gupta is a pretty fascinating character - and I gravitate toward the real "big picture" thinkers. So, this post got my tail wagging a little bit.

Vinay, as the post mentioned, can definitely be put in a box with Elon Musk. I  see a little bit of Steve Jobs also. These individuals have the ability to navigate very large scale/macro ideas, while not losing sight of the specific topic at hand. It's rare when someone, with such deep knowledge and discipline in Engineering and Science, can comfortably guide the listener as he outlines his larger scale vision for a better future.
Clearly Steve Jobs was a master of this.... An audience, that showed up to learn about the latest Macintosh release, leaves with the belief that Apple is changing the world.

Moreover, it's always interesting to me how these leaders are able to form a partnership with capitalism. They start with a sort of grand Utopian idea, and then leverage capital markets to carry out their mission. Musk was able to fund and develop a space bound rocket by identifying and solving an economic need - delivering supplies to the International Space Station.

I enjoyed that post. Good read.


2. For my suggestion :
I'd like to read more about how blockchain can solve real world problems. How blockchain can be adopted and integrated to modernize everyday transactions between people. Could it remove the current over-reliance on faith and trust in finance?

- For example, how the relationship between a municipality (the local school), that funds expansion through a bond issuance, and an individual investor, who wants to purchase a bond to generate income, would look if it was done via decentralized peer to peer confirmations on the blockchain? Could the blockchain ledger be introduced to replace banks in this example?

I didn't see my entry in the Cloudbet spreadsheet, so just checking to make sure it counts for the competition! Thanks

Morning all!

Back in the office after the long weekend, so I've just updated the sheet with the entries since Friday. Thanks to everyone who's submitted entries since then!

Some amazing suggestions for future content so far, some that our blog team haven't even considered! One of my colleagues is already getting excited about writing on a couple of subjects in particular, but I'll keep those quiet until we announce the winners (plus he won't get to pick them all)  ;)

I've personally enjoyed seeing the suggestions about the applications of blockchain technology outside of the gambling world, but I don't think i'll be getting a vote  :P

Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for another competition Ronnie! :)

I have been reading your blog for a while now, and I think one of your best articles must be the "6 Common Betting Mistakes (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/10295-6-incredibly-common-sports-betting-mistakes)".
Even though Cloudbet is a gambling website, you still have the decency to help beginners out and let them know how easy it is to lose and that the odds are mostly in favor of the house.

I would like to see more about gambling "strategies" in your future articles -- something similar to the "Top 5 Betting Strategies For The NBA (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/10277-top-5-betting-strategies-for-the-nba)" and also -- how you can improve your win chance.

My favorite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article is the story of the creation and launch of your BTC-bookmaker office in October 2013, as well as the history of its development and improvement over the next 5 years (what problems you faced, what you achieved and what future plans you would have).

You have already done a huge number of reviews both on bets and on different cryptothematics, but I didn’t see the most important here - information about who should we thank for our conversation now and also I’d love to hear your opinion on this matter

Some Blog articles I'd like to see written in the future are more coverage of betting on GoT, I believe the market is quite unexplored and can bring a lot of new users to the site!

On the other note, I'd like to hear more about how the actual site (Cloudbet) became what we know today, and also some more articles similar to "Is There A Winning Blackjack Strategy? (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/casino/10866-winning-blackjack-strategy)" -- it goes very in-depth and shows that the author knows what they're writing about!

Cool contest Ronnie! Here's my three suggestion entries:

My favorites article, and runner up, are the following:

Grand prize: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11954-trade-this-real-world-assets-trading-on-the-blockchain 

Why my favorite article? Because it opens the discussion of where cryptos need to go, and offers some solution links, as well as being very well written, as all of your articles are!

Runner-up: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/13445-what-are-parlay-bets-and-how-to-place-them

Why my runner up article? Well, the obvious...I love parlays!


Three article ideas for my entries:

1) How is blockchain becoming cleaner and greener, with regard to the energy consumption of cryptomining, data centers, servers, etc.? Is Cloudbet focused on this? DM me for info on a new clean energy technology that could disrupt this aspect of blockchain. Think off-grid everything...mining, data centers, servers, etc.

2) Is it possible for Cloudbet to create parlays on crypto performance over set periods of time? For example, picking the trifecta of performers of one month, one week, one day, one year...or picking the top two to eight performers over set periods of time? Maybe someone is already doing this, not sure, but just a thought. 

3) Should there be concern with some blockchain promoting themselves as decentralized, but actually aren't, such as dPoS systems like EOS (sorry EOS supporters!)? Just an observation from watching cryptos for a few years now and seeing quite a bit of shady marketing on 'decentralization' in some areas.

@ Ronnie Cloudbet



Tether has always been a controversial item in the immutable ecosystem, I think this is mainly because of their proof of reserve methodology and it's inconsistency in reporting.
.
.
.
The value of USDT  is derived from the underlying asset backing it and it's redeemability through Tethers international wire transfer service. I believe those reports of Tether being backed by only  74% of Fiat reserves comes from their inability to account for Tethers that have been redeemed and not deleted. I recall there is no designated burn address for USDT, so we have no Idea as to what is backed and unbacked. Therefore I think their proof of reserve system needs to be updated to account for the redeemed Tethers so that users can differentiate backed and unbacked tokens.
.
.
.
Other than that, I think as a community, we need to judge Tether(the company) on their ability to honor token redemptions.

3rd entry:

I liked going through and reading the Bitcoin price updates (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/13120-btc-price-update) for the past few months.

Which makes me think:

Since Bitcoin's price has been skyrocketing recently, Cloudbet could get an article written on the subject of other crypto/altcoin past prices and how they went through peaks and valleys.
Similar to Bitcoin Is Dead (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/9846-bitcoin-is-dead), but with other coins.
I also think using graphics to illustrate this article gets users more interested in scrolling through the article and giving it more attention.
For example, using the same graphics but for altcoins:

Nice competition. Thanks Cloudbet.
My favourite article is https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/9846-bitcoin-is-dead
This article really showed me the way to know kinda what  bitcoin is and is becoming. It's not dead and it's getting stronger than ever. I also like the way how the topic is presented in the article. A perfect read.

My future article suggestions.
1) Manipulation of cryptocurrency valuation. How is it effecting everything. Inherent probability of manipulation in open markets especially new ones ?

2) A "Must do and Must never do" list of things for crypto-people. I think this doesn't need much explanation. Like sending 1 ETH for free 10 ETH giveaway from fake Vitalik😅

3) A "Global Currency" not controlled by any country. Is this Bitcoin or what.?

Article I liked the most - https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/previews/12702-who-will-sit-on-the-iron-throne-game-of-thrones-bitcoin-betting
I have not seen any other platforms where betting options are so much versatile. The article is spot on the GOT main theme and is not showing half picture or something. Greatly written too, it shows GOT level standards;-)

Suggestions: 1. How Trust works in Cryptocurrencies. Why trust matters in a modern society.? Trust on Age of network?, Trust on Code?, Trust on personals?

2. Dot com bubble and Cryptos.? Similarities and differences. It'll be great if there's a analogy for what's happening in a new field.

3. Why gaming and gambling could be the most suitable field of "internet-money". How big are these industries?.

The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!

Inspired by this article (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/casino/13589-how-to-convert-free-spins-into-real-money) , I have tried out many casinos out there and I have honestly found very little information about how to play some of these casino games the right way because the instructions are not clear enough for first timers. If am to be a winner like Leohand some tips and pointers in the blog section of how to play some of these slot games will be helpful.

- Another suggestion Will be to start from the bottom which is basic security , this is usually over looked but a guide from an experts standing point will be an eye opener to many on the best practice to protect our crypto assets and everything relating to this category. A problem shared is a problem solved, no more getting hacked!

Some ideas for a future article:
Since altcoins have started getting more and more attention and have risen in popularity and price recently, I think now is the perfect time to have a blog article covering the best/most trusted exchanges to purchase from as well as sell altcoins to.

Unlike other participants this my very 1st time to participate in Cloudbets Promotion. Hoping that I will win this competition even I'm new in this kind of competition. But of course, I know that there was much promotion that Cloudbet did here in bitcointalk. Anyway here's my entry.

- Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article from the past year?
Since I'm from the Philippines, this blog titled "How to bet with bitcoin and bitcoin cash in the Philippines" (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/10925-how-to-bet-with-bitcoin-and-bitcoin-cash-in-the-philippines) was one of my favorite blog article from the past year because this blog really helps a lot for those who want to get involved in crypto-gambling using bitcoins here in the Philippines.



- The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!

Since I'm more than 2 years using and betting on Cloudbet, I would like to see that they will write a new blog article about adding a new crypto-currency like Ethereum, XRP, LTC, and XLM in betting at Cloudbet because sometimes BTC and BCH blockchain having a hard time to confirm some of their transaction. This always happens when you're in a rush and excited to bet in Cloudbet. ;D Also when it comes in transaction fees bitcoin transaction is really expensive, unlike the other mentioned crypto-currency aside from fewer fees the transaction can easily be confirmed. Add additional information XRP and ETH are also easy to buy in the Philippines cause it is already listed in Coins.ph which is the major source of Pilipinos to buy cryptocurrency. Coins.ph was mentioned by Cloudbet in my favorite Cloudbet blog article; https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/10925-how-to-bet-with-bitcoin-and-bitcoin-cash-in-the-philippines .

To make it easy, I want to see Cloudbet using other alternative cryptocurrency to bet on their platform.

Happy anniversary Cloudbet Blog.

1. Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article from the past year?
Three lost bitcoin treasures (plus one happy ending) (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11773-three-lost-bitcoin-treasures-plus-one-happy-ending[hr)
This article reminds me of how easy it is to lose my bitcoin. Made me think about how can I make a safe transfer of my bitcoin to my loved ones if I suddenly pass away. I hate it if my hard earn bitcoins will go to waste just because I forgot where I placed the private keys or made a will.


2. The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!
I really like basketball and sports betting, so I would like to see more articles about sports betting. A good topic could be about maximizing winnings through parlay betting in sports betting.

Hi Ronnie,

I wanted to put my entry at the beginning of the competition but didn't find the time until now. City just lifted Premier League title and I managed to get 10 minutes on the laptop while watching the ceremony. This is my first and only entry but it will include 2 ideas for articles so maybe it should be considered as two entries. Anyway, I hope I am not breaking some rules and if you want feel free to separate it into two entries.

1. Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article from the past year?
My favorite cloudbet blog read was Three lost bitcoin treasures (plus one happy ending) (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11773-three-lost-bitcoin-treasures-plus-one-happy-ending) which also seams to be a crowd favorite by votes. I loved your contest to write fiat money review. That one really cracked me up and had multiple outstanding entries. Six Common Betting Mistakes was also a great entry but it came about 10 years too late for me. I managed to make all of them (and then some) in some point of my betting life. Fortunately I also learned something from all that mistakes  :P

2. The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!
If it has to be crypto related article I would like to see Cloudbet take on IEO (initial exchange offering). I believe they are in general very bad for crypto market and are only useful too put more power in hands of crypto exchanges. They don't have any advantage over ICO for anyone but the exchanges. This kind of centralization is very bad and I hope they die a quick and painful death so STO can come to fruition. Although, I may be missing something....I challenge you to prove me wrong or confirm my fears.

I would like to see Cloudbet write more articles about tennis. Since all major football leagues are ending soon and tennis season is in full swing this could be a right time to switch focus. We have an incoming Roland Garraos which looks like it could be the tournament to remember. We have all the usual suspects (Nadal, Djokovic), Federer (after 2 year pause) and some young lions (Thiem, Tsitipas) which are all legitimate candidates to be crowned champions. Nadal still probably has the edge since it is best of 3 sets but it hasn't be this close since he started his clay domination. This blog entry could also focus on tennis offer in crypto betting site and maybe used as a way to bring new customers to Cloudbet. I love betting on tennis handicaps (match and first set), under/over and tiebreak in the match lines but I didn't find a single crypto site offering all of that.

BR, Trofo

PS. Love Cloudbet competitions and I believe you are doing one hell of job promoting Cloudbet here on the forum. Keep it up and give us more funny competitions.

Today the Cloudbet Blog (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=0519-blog-birthday&utm_content=blog) turns one year old, and to celebrate our first blogiversary, we are running a competition to see which articles have captured your interest this year, and what you’d like to see us writing more about in the year ahead!

That’s right crypto fans, Cloudbet is back with another free-to-enter competition for our Bitcointalk and Twitter followers, and this one comes with a whopping 0.21 BTC (€1000) prize pool to split between 3 lucky winners!


Entering the competition is easy as losing money on shitcoins!  ;)

Simply post below with:

- Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=0519-blog-birthday&utm_content=blog) article from the past year?
- The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!


This could be anything you’d like to know more about; from the details of specific cryptocurrency networks, to guides on altcoin trading - nothing is off the cards!


If you prefer to enter via Twitter, that’s fine too! Simply tweet your entry @Cloudbet (https://twitter.com/Cloudbet) including the #CBBlogBday tag which will be used for tracking entries.

Entries close on Monday 13th May, and we’ll pick our 3 favourite entries as winners to announce the following day on Tuesday 14th May.

The three winners will each receive 0.07 BTC, and will have their article idea written up and published over the next few weeks by our team of experts at the Cloudbet blog - how’s that for content on demand?!  :D


General Rules:

- Maximum 3 entries per account.
- Entries should answer both questions.
- All accounts must be over 7 days old to participate (sorry newbies!)
- Keep it clean!  ;)

We listened to all the community feedback after our last competition, so this time entries will be restricted to Bitcointalk and Twitter accounts that are at least 7 days old. If you spot any accounts or entries that you are concerned about then please send us a DM with the information (rather than derailing the thread with accusations).

To see the full terms and conditions, visit the Cloudbet blog here (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/promotions/13527-invitation-come-celebrate-our-blogs-1st-birthday?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=0519-blog-birthday&utm_content=blog-blogiversary)

I have ideas.. I would love to see these as I'm uncertain about the same. :D
1. What is Tokenisation.? How disruptive is it? With examples like tokens for real gold, assets, items, virtually anything and how it transforms the access of the same through a global market.
    2. Sound money and it's primary aspects. What is money and it's features. Like liquidity, Inflationary/Deflationary, Demand/Supply, ease of use etc. I think this is a perspective which is really needed. And kinda how to use it for all people on earth.   3. What are dapps and non-custodial platforms?. How many Cryptocurrencies are developing betting/dex with non custodial features?. How custodial and non custodial system works with advtge/disadvntges. I think it's a tradeoff between security and ease of use with respective trusts involving.

https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/9520-what-is-a-bitcoin-fork
This article gave me a idea on what forks are especially as it was just when I entered this space. It really made me understand what bcash, bcd, bitcoin gold etc is. Such confusing and I guess it's bad for the space too.. I like how cloudbet is going. Its awesome you guys make articles on all topics in the space even if you're a betting and casino company.. nice...

This is my all-time favorite simply because it has helped me that much by now. A typical crypto user uses at least 20 crypto-related words per day. That show how much it affects a crypto enthusiast especially beginners.
My suggestions

# What are the things that bitcoin bring to world irrespective of its dollar value. What is a purely decentralised economy?.
#what immutability in bitcoin mean? Specifically why/how the code limits people for changing the "immutable content".
# A category wise index of articles in the blog will be great. Im not saying about "on the cloud" , "bitcoin 101" etc. Like " how-to's " and " what is " type of categories where a visitor can see all article index in a views. Likewise they can navigate from article to artilce from it with much ease than right now. I know this is not an article suggestion. But I thought this will be useful. My question What are betting dapps and its problems?

Good morning all!

After much deliberation, soul searching, and heated arguments over who used the last of the coffee, our content team have finally picked their top three favourites! (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/promotions/13527-invitation-come-celebrate-our-blogs-1st-birthday?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=0519-blog-birthday&utm_content=blog-blogiversary-results)  :D

Jokes aside this one really was tough to choose. We got a huge amount of really well thought out suggestions from both Bitcointalk and Twitter, and we want to reassure you that we’re not discarding the ones that didn’t make it to the top three. We promise we’ll get to work and try and answer all the other questions in the future. Our pick of winners are just the first ones.

The competition may be over, but our work goes on. And we want you along for the ride.

Now, without further ado, the winners (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/promotions/13527-invitation-come-celebrate-our-blogs-1st-birthday?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=0519-blog-birthday&utm_content=blog-blogiversary-results)!


The winners (0.07 BTC each!):

Wendigo - "Crypto sports sponsorship - the biggest deals"

@CryptoStatioN - "How are stablecoins stable? Why some of them sometimes lose their value if they are supposed to be stable? Why not just use bitcoin?"

@Fergielici0us - "What are atomic swaps? Can blockchain talk to each other?"


I'll be cracking the whip in the writers room and soon we should be publishing one of these articles weekly  ;)


As mentioned above this one was very nearly too close to call, so we also have a few runners up that just missed out on making the cut. I'll be contacting them soon to offer a choice of bonus on either our sportsbook or casino:

@mgulla7 - "If I die, how can my daughters inherit my cryptos?"

@danchamz - "What creates value for Cryptocurrencies? What factors are responsible for the variation in the prices of different crytpos."

chelsea93 - "Sound money and it's primary aspects. What is money and it's features. Like liquidity, Inflationary/Deflationary, Demand/Supply, ease of use etc."


There were also a couple of strong specific suggestions from very knowledgeable people, and we plan to reach out to those community members privately in the near future to discuss having them write on the subjects for us as paid guest writers, given their own insight into the subject matter:

mcplums2 - "Is bitcoin's simplicity, its lack of features and its resistance to change, a good thing? Are these features or bugs?"

iphro - "How small states can integrate their M2 economies through blockchain to escape the effects touted by World systems/Dependency theory."

CryptoSmith1 - "How is blockchain becoming cleaner and greener, with regard to the energy consumption of cryptomining, data centers, servers, etc.?"


A huge thanks to everyone that took part and submitted suggestions for the blog, and for your belief in crypto as part of a better future. You should all be proud. All of this - and us here at Cloudbet - wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.

We have already started planning next month's competition, so keep an eye on our Cloudbet thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333552.new#new) for details soon!

Have a great day!

The winners (0.07 BTC each!):

Wendigo - "Crypto sports sponsorship - the biggest deals"

@CryptoStatioN - "How are stablecoins stable? Why some of them sometimes lose their value if they are supposed to be stable? Why not just use bitcoin?"

@Fergielici0us - "What are atomic swaps? Can blockchain talk to each other?"


I'll be cracking the whip in the writers room and soon we should be publishing one of these articles weekly  ;)


As mentioned above this one was very nearly too close to call, so we also have a few runners up that just missed out on making the cut. I'll be contacting them soon to offer a choice of bonus on either our sportsbook or casino:

@mgulla7 - "If I die, how can my daughters inherit my cryptos?"

@danchamz - "What creates value for Cryptocurrencies? What factors are responsible for the variation in the prices of different crytpos."

chelsea93 - "Sound money and it's primary aspects. What is money and it's features. Like liquidity, Inflationary/Deflationary, Demand/Supply, ease of use etc."


There were also a couple of strong specific suggestions from very knowledgeable people, and we plan to reach out to those community members privately in the near future to discuss having them write on the subjects for us as paid guest writers, given their own insight into the subject matter:

mcplums2 - "Is bitcoin's simplicity, its lack of features and its resistance to change, a good thing? Are these features or bugs?"

iphro - "How small states can integrate their M2 economies through blockchain to escape the effects touted by World systems/Dependency theory."

CryptoSmith1 - "How is blockchain becoming cleaner and greener, with regard to the energy consumption of cryptomining, data centers, servers, etc.?"


A huge thanks to everyone that took part and submitted suggestions for the blog, and for your belief in crypto as part of a better future. You should all be proud. All of this - and us here at Cloudbet - wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.

We have already started planning next month's competition, so keep an eye on our Cloudbet thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333552.new#new) for details soon!

Have a great day!
