This is an inspiring story especially the tips you gave actually, I personally adhere to the one of betting with high stakes on live bets. I have always been good at placing a bet on live games but with small amount of money. Although I have left gambling and betting at the same time but I think I will do a checkup comeback. The features you mentioned about sportbets.io is somewhat amazing as it gives hints and easy and instant withdrawals. Thanks anyway. 
Let me inform you that sportsbet.io have fast withdrawals but NOT instant withdrawals because I have been playing there for more than 2 years and yes they send my withdrawals very fast but at times they do take like 10-15 mins for the withdrawals which cannot be categorized as instant. What I mean by instant withdrawals is what stake offers, you just click the button money is sent unless you have some issue with your account.

But I ado agree that he has great advice for newbies and even experienced gamblers and the profit he gained by csgo is just amazing. Sportsbet.io are decent and cover a lot of sports and everything but they do not have the best odds sometimes.
102  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun-Most trusted & coolest looking provably fair blackjack in Market on: July 27, 2020, 03:09:52 PM
I have seen their start here in the forum and for a time they ran sig campaign.
But sometimes, I noticed that this thread is locked (the thread title is blurry). I don't know why?
And yet, they are still here improving things for the betterment of their site.
This kind of site is the one you can keep in your list.
What makes this place unique and beautiful is the fact that instead of like other websites where they are offering 100 different games (stake for example got to 500+ games now) they are focusing on just one place. This allows them to focus on making that one game better and actually perfect it if they can, and I feel like they are already the best game out there in blackjack, it offers a lot better blackjack experience than any other place in the business.

Obviously they still need to improve in marketing and need to get a lot more customers, when you have just one place you have to focus on getting more players because 500+ games means easier to get users, however I am sure with time they will be capable of doing that as well, it will just take some marketing, money and time.
103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: US Presidential Election 2020 on: July 26, 2020, 08:48:58 PM
Electoral college may not be the perfect solution, but it is much better than those popular vote-based elections. It prevents the deep-blue states such as California and New York from stealing the election by allowing uncontrolled invasion of illegal immigrants.

Let's look at an example. In 1950, California had a population of 10.7 million. Back then, Oklahoma's population was 2.2 million. Since then, the population of California increased by almost 4 times, but that of Oklahoma increased by less than 2x. The reason is that California allowed a lot of illegal immigrants to stay. Now Do you want to give more power to California, just because they broke the law and invited the illegals? I am against that idea. And that's why I always say that electoral college-based system is much better when compared to any popular vote based election systems.
"Illegal immigrants" can't vote, they are illegally there, hell they practically can't even let anyone know they are there, they have to keep quite about it, in order to vote you have to register to vote, how can an illegal immigrant can register to vote if they are illegal?

Also by that same logic there are places like Florida and Texas that gets a ton of electoral college rights as well which they actually use for Republicans most of the time, hence why it is both good and bad for both parties and I think gives equal chances.

Finally popular vote is not the right way for sure, but electoral college is not the right way neither, both of them sucks. Ranking based should always be the choice, that way you get to see two candidates people want most, but also a third and a fourth one getting good amount of attention too which could help american democracy a lot if allowed. Two person for presidential election doesn't sound fair to me, there should be a lot more candidates if you ask me.
104  Economy / Economics / Re: Interesting perspective of Investors on: July 26, 2020, 03:39:08 PM
A decade ago was when bitcoins was just launched and the graph for any asset tends to rise much quicker in the initial years as compared to the later stages. I mean the growth we saw from 2009 to 2020 would always be bigger than what the growth might be from 2020 to 2030 in terms if percentage rise because the price almost grew around 10,000 times but you cannot expect the same growth rate in the next ten years....

But if you look at it from the other side, we will see that over these 10 years, bitcoin has become recognized by everyone. Can't this fact push the price up when the majority of the population wants to buy it, but its quantity will still be limited? But even in this case, it is difficult to wait for the growth of bitcoin in 10000 times, as it was before.
That's obvious because the growth in initial years cannot be replicated in the later years since the adoption curve tends to slow down and the amount of coins being held by individuals is not the same anymore so it takes collective efforts and huge demand for bitcoins to move to price higher. It was much easier earlier to manipulate the price but now whales are unable to do that which is good for the market but shows how vastly the bitcoins are spread that a few big guys cannot alter the market of their own.

Never going to make a comment like I won't sell until death or so but I am pretty sure whatever coins I am saving I won't sell them until either I need cash desperately or the price is at least 50k.
105  Economy / Economics / Re: What brings economy of a country down. on: July 26, 2020, 02:08:04 PM
Economy of some country has fall due to they channel their economy one side,what brings economy down is base on focusing on one particular thing not be diversified in different sectors, so when that particular product fails to trend in market the way it's before such country will be shortage of economy and the life of the people will be in danger base on things is moving wrongly to the country.
And the way a country can be free from falling of economy is to spread their economy or diversified economy so that when one of sector shutdown another will pick up.
That is not really how it works else the government officials would have already thought about it. Every country has its own specialty or a supply of something that keeps the trade market alive and its economy on the feet.

For example: Dubai has high supply of crude oil which boosts its economy, India has highest number of pharmaceutical companies and produces 60% of the world’s medicines and vaccines. Diversification works if your country has more than one thing to offer and that also has certain limitations. Economy is a much complicated subject than most of the people believe it to be.
106  Economy / Economics / Re: Business / private sector is dead on: July 26, 2020, 01:30:13 PM
Well first off what country are you even referring to? This is a global forum. Also, you're right, business is hurting all around there is no question about that.  My own career has come under great fire of late, people aren't able to transact like normal in large part.

However, you're money is not all going to go away in the stock market.  You're wrong, that's simply not going to happen.  With earnings reports for Quarter 2 continue to roll in we could see a massive drop in markets, but markets always come back.  If they dont? Well, then we've got the apocalypse.
I guess he is referring to the third world countries as those are the regions where the pandemic has affected the most to the economy. Stock of pretty much every company has taken a fall due to the pandemic situation. As the businesses are starting to resume slowly and getting back to normal, the stock prices should start rising again.

We will surely see an uptrend in all the well known stocks in the next few months. Let's just hope the pandemic doesn’t get even more worse than it already is, and no country has to face economic crisis as it takes minimum 2-3 years for a country to get back on its feet.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How possible is it to make a living trading cryptocurrencies alone? on: July 26, 2020, 08:32:11 AM
There are many full time traders in cryptocurrency market and forex market. It is possible. However to become a full time trader is not easy, it costs you a lot of time, money, trying and non-stop learning. Because every trader start with the same position and nobody can win the market when he starts. Most of new traders will give up because it's too hard to win the market.
That’s so true. You stop earning when you stop learning so you should always strive to learn even of you are well established if you want to keep the hold of the market. Start slow and then gain pace as it Is all about consistency when you are trading in a market that is highly volatile and full or risks. Daily trading is not an easy task and not everyone is able to cope up with the ups and downs of the market.

Can someone make it trading only altcoins?
It’s possible to make a living just by trading stocks, isn’t it? Then how is this any different? I agree that the market is highly volatile, but remember if you can lose big, you can always win big. And if you play safe i.e. small trades and quick profits, you can still make a living. But for that, you need to understand the market careful and make near to or accurate predictions.
108  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hire Crypto Trader on: July 26, 2020, 06:38:45 AM
I would need to understand how you trade, so what leverage, how many take-profit targets, frequency of signals etc

I wonder if it would not be better for you to take a trade course and execute your group
He probably comes under that category of admin who has the resources and reach among people but doesn’t have the skill set to execute the assigned task. So, in that case its quite fair that he is hiring crypto traders to look after the group.

Although, I agree with your point that the people cannot be left hanging if something goes wrong. So, for such scenario he must have a backup trader ready who can resume the work if such situation is to occur. Anyways,I support your view that it would be quite better if he took the trade course and handled the group himself.
109  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there any way to out of this insecurity? on: July 25, 2020, 08:28:19 PM
Over the past few years, I have been horrified by the way accounts of various exchanges and crypto-related websites and individuals have been hacked by hackers. Is there any way to out of this insecurity? I think cryptocurrency will lose popularity if it continues like this, share your ideas on what can be done to overcome this situation.
Theft happens everywhere. It is not just the crypto space that is being affected by it. Cash gets stolen from houses, shops and banks as well; credit cards information are hacked every day and even ATM card pins are hacked. There is nothing safe in this world. Just like every theft that happens around the world, crypto space is not different.

We should learn to live with this while exchanges and wallets keep their securities updated to ensure the safest experience for their users. So basically, insecurities occur in everything and I don’t think crypto currencies will lose popularity because of the same.
110  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there any limit or holding stable coins.....? Any risk of hodl the max coins? on: July 25, 2020, 07:28:30 PM
That has probably happened because something fishy must have been happening. I don’t think there’s a limit on holding stable coins or any other crypto coins for a matter of fact. It’s perfectly safe to hold a significant number or coins unless they are a result of something illegal or fraudulent activity. And I don’t think there’s anything in it for you if you just keep holding a lot of stable coins.

The name ‘stable coins’ because they are highly stable and nowhere near to being even a little volatile so no profit and no loss situation. If you wish to increase your portfolio, investing in various crypto assets and diversifying your capital is the key.
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it risky to invest in new crytpo coin/tokens? on: July 25, 2020, 04:02:43 PM
You want an example of a new promising altcoins? Do research on AVA. It's new and very promising, this project used ICO to raise money in 2020 and raised 42 Million dollars, incredible isn't it? Investors knew that what AVA have to offer crypto space will work straight outta box, utility matters, nothing comes close

Raising a hefty amount doesn’t really mean that a project will be successful in the long run. Many projects have previously raised money through ICO’s but have failed due to various reasons such as fraudulent activities, no technical assistance, failure to deliver a live working model etc. Although, I have done my research on the AVA Labs and I think that the project has potential as it offers a highly advanced platform for launching decentralized applications and new interoperable blockchains.

It has been discussed so many time that investing in crypto involve a lot of risky. Be it old or new coin or token. Do not invest what you can't afford to lose and when you invest, you can minimize your risk by doing research on the project and ask questions from experience community members if something seems to be unclear.
Haha, it sounds like a disclaimer “investment in crypto coins is subject to market risk, so do your research before investing in any coin”. And that’s true of course. Crypto market being highly volatile involves a lot of risk so one should only invest the amount he/she can spare and afford to lose just in case something goes wrong.
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin dominance falling, time to bag in some alts? altcoin party? on: July 24, 2020, 04:34:37 PM
There was an upward channel pattern which was being followed by the BTC dominance since past 2 years and it recently broke down below 65% and is currently down under EMA 100. Seeing the charts very carefully, I believe that some alts are definitely going to rally super hard and BTC dominance will fall down more in order to let the party continue.
Altcoins are much more volatile than bitcoin and are somehow connected to it. The prices of altcoins are on the rise because bitcoin was holding steady and is now showing slow growth. But what happens when the bitcoin price begins to dump? Altcoins will fall as well and with a pace much greater than bitcoins. At that moment, bitcoin will again gain dominance. That’s how the cycle works. But, seeing the current market, even I think that maybe its time to wrap some altcoins up and take home.

The fall of bitcoin dominance is indirectly telling us about the possible upcoming bull run in crypto space.
You are right. Altcoins are in verge of another stronger bullish trend. After recent bitcoin halving, we are all expecting another FOMO influenced bull run like what we had by 2017. But, due to covid19 pandemic and economic slow down of world markets, the bull run is getting delayed as per crypto expert's analysis. When vaccine for covid19 will be ready for public usage, we can expect bulls gets into action so bitcoin dominance will get impacted on that times heavily.
113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Bitcoin was hijacked and centralized on: July 24, 2020, 12:57:24 PM
Miners can merge, I don’t really see anything wrong with it. Even if they merge it still doesn’t stop the competition, there will still be that competition, because there are still other mining companies. Smaller companies of miners can decide to come together so that they will be able to get better rewards, it’s not bad. And moreover these days you can’t mine alone, it’s not like it used to be in the past when you can easily just buy a miner and stay at home and be mining with your computer, nah this time around you have to join a pool before you will be able to get rewards.

Even due to miners' consortium they may work together and may decide things like corporate but all will be possible until they face another competitor. I mean it is highly possible another big players to be joining bitcoin mining to compete against the current players. So, their unite will not work for them forever.
114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we need bitcoin? on: July 24, 2020, 10:07:28 AM
Well, do we need it? Because, I can see that people use it only as an investment or as a money laundering tool. Black markets rebornt after the creation of bitcoin. I tried to convince someone to use it, but you know what? I couldn't. Why? Well, honest people don't afraid the central authority, in addition with the dishonest ones. Those who want something that is illegal, cannot do that. So they use bitcoin.
If you ask me I would say what we don’t need in this world are the bad people, but it’s hard to get rid of the people, they will always exist in this life. Imagine that there were only good people in this world, do you think any of them would be on the dark web trading and exchanging trash? No, they wouldn’t. It’s only bad people that you’re going to find on the dark web.

You yourself wouldn’t be there, that’s if you’re not one of those weird people. And you saying that people only use bitcoin for investment and money laundering is wrong. There are lots of people who use it for just transactions. I know a friend of mine that works remotely, the company he works for is in UK and they send him payment using Bitcoin.

We definitely need bitcoin payments. But most people are still using it for speculative reasons but when bitcoin reaches a stable value then they will get back to using it for payment reasons and from that point they will realizing the real need of bitcoins. Only people who realize all the potential of bitcoins plan up for long term holding of bitcoins.
115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: building a crypto criminal database on: July 23, 2020, 08:31:17 PM
This company in South Korea is figuring out that once a cyber criminal, always a cyber criminal. They found that two separate big crypto crimes shared the same exchange account for onramping or offramping. Of course most of it was done with Bitcoin. Don't know how it will get better before getting worse.

https://thenews.asia/hyungoo-kim-tracking-cryptocurrency-cyber-crimes/
Cryptocurrency is not bad, since it was created it has made a lot of things easy. I know a few of my friends who whenever I want to send money to them it was always difficult without Bitcoin, I used to make use of SWIFT codes and other methods that banks has to offer and it was really stressful whenever I have to send money to them or them send to me. I had to go to the bank and things gets worse when there are crowd in the bank, I will have to wait to get the form and then sign all those paperwork. And then the transactions take some days.

But since we made up our minds to be using Bitcoin, it’s no longer hard duty, they will just send me the address on my WhatsApp and I will quickly copy and send the money to them, and pay lesser fees. Cryptocurrency is a good invention, just that criminals are now using it for fulfilling their criminal activities.
116  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading guides,books,articles whatever on: July 23, 2020, 04:32:16 PM
The book that I recommend is basically those of Richard Wyckoff and Jesse Livermore, the reason is simple, they do not focus on technical analysis, but rather on how they saw the market, much of their analysis teaches a lot, you can find and download their books by doing a simple google search.
I guess many people had experimented about approaching trading without the help of technical analysis. In recent times, one of my friend recommended a book of Jose Mosca which was Trading without Indicators: How to Trade any Market without using Indicators. Basically I am not interested in that kind of strategy for my trading because I do strongly believe that without technical analysis part in trading, I guess I could not have achieved what I have done so far in crypto trading.

For those, who want to experience something different but regardless of they are able to make profits or not, then they can go for this book to find out some basic skills on reading markets to predict market movements. It may be an interesting approach which requires some time to get practiced but my hectic schedule is not allowing me to try that.
117  Economy / Economics / Re: How long will it take banks to phase out physical cash completely? on: July 21, 2020, 11:08:42 PM
As we enter the digital realm due to the effects of COVID-19, the process of central banks phasing out physical cash from existence might take place soon. Before the outbreak, we've been accustomed in using credit/debit cards and contactless payments greatly eliminating the need for physical cash. Now that we're in a "COVID Era", things have accelerated quite a bit. Banks and governments are in talks of adopting CBDCs which could completely eliminate the need to pay for things with physical cash.

Now the real question is, how long will it take banks to start the transition from physical to digital cash (CBDC)? Do you think that physical cash will still be used right after governments adopt CBDCs in their entirety? Or will it take decades before every single person in the world stops transacting with physical cash, paving the way for a full-fledged cashless society? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Smiley
What exactly is your main reason that made you think that the banks has to phase out cash?
If Covid-19 is your reason, I don’t think that’s enough. Cash will always be there, whether you like it or not, and no one is forcing you to make use of it, it’s just your choice.

There are so many payment methods out there that people can use, it’s just your choice to choose what works for you. There is PayPal, and there are so many people who make use of it, we have Bitcoin and you can as well use it if that’s what you choose. It’s always your choice.
118  Economy / Economics / Re: The unfortunate event that is Quarantine. on: July 21, 2020, 10:39:11 PM
We can’t move all jobs remotely. There are people who work as cleaners, they can’t work remotely, because they can’t clean the office from their home. So not all jobs can be done online, that’s why we all need this situation to stop. People should just wear their masks and go back to their works. Companies/offices should have everything that’s required to keep their employees safe at this time in their office, by providing necessary information, and telling employees to maintain distance at work, and wash hands, and wear gloves and all that.

So, I must agree with you that it is really unfortunate times for all of us because of covid19 and it's quarantine periods. But, most countries started relaxing lockdown restrictions which helps people to get back into their normal life including getting back to job so that they could feed themselves. Some countries are announcing about public use of vaccine by the beginning of August month. When that will be happening in real life, I hope everything will get settled down.
Yes, companies are being able to move jobs online and let people work remotely, but how many have lost their jobs compared to those that are working remotely now? If you check there is a huge difference. And have you checked the type of jobs that can be done online? It’s mostly software engineering jobs that you will be finding online these days, majority of others can’t be moved online, you can’t be driving truck online right ? Lol. Lots of sectors such transportation, restaurants were closed during quarantine.

I guess we need to bear what ever inconveniences we are facing right now because everything may find an end when the vaccine for convid19 will be developed. I am feeling too hard to stay within home due to unnecessary stress and less job opportunities to earn with. Hopefully everything will get restored in near future.
119  Economy / Economics / Re: Did COVID-19 Bring Any Positive Sign? on: July 21, 2020, 10:09:04 PM
Positive sign that covid 19 bring is all about the environment and population. The evironment is now more beautiful because covid lessen the pollution. Over population, covif 19 also lessen the number of population even it hurts on the part of their families and loveones. But on the other sides covid 19 connects every family member and have bonding together.
In terms of environmental improvement, I think that’s something that we should try to maintain. We should stop messing up our environment, it’s really bad for us. I saw pictures when the lockdown started in so many countries how everywhere was clean; China air becoming clear due to industries that stopped work, and even in places like Venice where the waters got clean and all that.

It would be really good if we can find a way to maintain all these things, and stop doing things that will be hurting our planet earth. The government should look into this.
120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 21, 2020, 08:56:18 PM
We know because of the transaction fees at this moment why ethereum, XRP and eos is most commonly use of the crypto gambler when they are playing gambling because if they are using bitcoin the fess of withdrawing or sending is bigger than the altcoins so they are choosing alternative way to less that and that is good but Im still using bitcoin but sometimes only ethereum and Riple is my favorite right now.

Is there any specific sources where you get the info that ETH, XRP and EOS are the most used altcoin in gambling? Or it is just your own opinion because of its low transaction fee and fast transaction speed? There should be something like real researches on which coins are being used mostly in crypto gambling industry.
I think why he said those coins is because if you are into crypto gambling you must be aware that these are the most accepted coins in almost all the casinos and while a few casinos offer massive list of coins like fortunejack if I am not wrong, most of the casinos are limited to basic 4-5 coins which are BTC, LTC, ETH and XRP and now a days EOS is also being accepted because of its massive market cap I think.

I never understand the logic of betting with alt coins to be fair because it is ultimately going to be changed into bitcoins or fiat so doesn't make sense but maybe people feel lucky with certain alt coins and hence bet with it.
