Number 7's a little misleading, if you're a man, regardless of if you're the richest bloke in town or the town laughingstock, you'd only buy underwears WHEN YOU REALLY REALLY NEED IT, and I mean when the holes in the front couldn't cover your dingdong anymore lol. Kiddings aside, I've got a few strange indicators as well.

Jobs offering new and lucrative ways to attract people into their company. I've seen a lot of BPOs in the Philippines offer stupid "incentives" for getting hired in their company, some give gift baskets that you could easily buy for like 10 bucks outside, and Gift Checks for shopping as well as digital cash that you can spend. The more creative a company is when it comes to offering rewards and incentives to new hires, the more shitty the economy is going is the standard.

thats why i often heard these telemarketers move from one BPO company to another in less than a month just constantly receiving these gift baskets. i don't know if they were doing it but it looks easy to just attend the job interview, pass the exam, be hired the same day to receive the gift basket, and then be AWOL the next day because of attending another job interview.

but the mass layoffs also is just one indicator that is happening to even the most successful company.
1062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is exchange based tokens worth for hold? on: November 25, 2023, 07:48:16 PM
I don't think that they are worth holding. They are totally related to an exchange, and if something happens to it - the token will die too. This might happen even in calm times or during the bull run, you never know what's happening behind the doors.
All of exchanges coins aren’t bad, as like BNB is the backed of the number one crypto exchange Binance. So, it’s fundamentally strong coin, early investors got big profits if considering others exchanges coins. Still i think it can be worth investment, although recently a bad news coming so it’s started dumping but i think it’s a promising coin for the future. 
the exchange still remains a large monopolist, and this may mean that nothing threatens the exchange token in the near future. Quarterly token burns will do their job, we need to wait a little longer and see how the price reacts to this event.

BNB however is just not performing well this year. i was also holding some exchange tokens before the last bull market, these tokens are just going to drain your patience. your faith in holding these tokens relies on the exchange itself which they know who they want to make rich. OK exchange token did a significant move than BNB.

the advantage to big holders of these exchange tokens is that they are sharing revenue with them.

With this explanation, I think you have cleared my curiousity on lightning and light coin. I really appreciate your efforts

You're welcome mate, it's not unusual for someone not to know certain things, if you don't know, ask. That will help you understand better and also refresh the mind for the person being asked, LOL.

This is my first time hearing about Lightning coin, OP make me search about Lightning Bitcoin Coin, and it actually exist, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/lightning-bitcoin/, I don't know if that is the coin that OP is referring to, but I don't think those Lightning Bitcoin coin is in anyways related to the Bitcoin Lightning Network. The site is in chinese, https://lbtc.io/EN/about.html so

OP refers to $LIGHT according to the link he attached to this response. I've also explained a little about the confusion he experienced regarding Lightning (LIGHT) and its differences with the Lightning Network a.k.a LN.

@Samlucky O, If you feel that all your questions have been answered correctly, don't forget to lock the topic you created so it won't cause prolonged spam Smiley.

if it weren't for this post, everybody would probably still respond about LTC having LN.

LBTC seems a different network from BTC so i don't think it can affect the congestion in BTC. surprisingly the price of this LBTC was once $500 but it dive deep to $0.28. it must be a fork and everyone who got some free LBTC sold back in 2018.

just keeping my coins and altcoins til the time is right for the picking. this time i will not gonna miss the big event. for a few months majority i think will wait patiently for the prices to hit the moon.

the cycle is just as what they always do. i think traders will also just sell and then wait again for another 4 year cycle. this is what is going to be happening over and over but different obstacles from regulations and another kind of adoption per cycle..
1065  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something you don't have to forget on: November 24, 2023, 08:12:45 PM
At the beginning, when Bitcoin was too cheap and wasn't popular, investors weren't very serious with their wallets. Hence, they forgot about their wallet, and when they noticed the current position of Bitcoin, they woke up. But unfortunately, a few of them totally forgot about their wallet credentials. I have seen many cases where people can't remember the apps or wallet names where they stored their bitcoin. But time has changed now, and we are very careful with our wallet credentials. Because the Bitcoin price is too high now and is still growing. So we must take care of our wallets to avoid big losses that we can't afford right now.

as early as 2015 there were already scams and casinos and exchanges that also shut down all of a sudden and many of those early believers lost their coins. because the value is just not so big, they were just giving away coins.

i wasn't here it yet but i have read people were joining faucets which giveaway 5 BTC each time. if they only knew the price could go as high as $69K, they wouldn't be doing it. 1 BTC today is already one man's life savings.

my first impression was that the domain is a media broker. it's a team providing package services that include shilling! 

services like this seem like adoption has come. in the past, only the bounty managers were the ones making proposals for the project, and bounty hunters get to have a share of the bounties. but now it seems like these service provider is not sharing it with the bounty hunters.
1067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... on: November 24, 2023, 06:23:26 PM

i don't know if there are also gamblers who consistently make money but i think there are also gamblers who kept winning where about 70-80% of their bets have won. and it could mean that his loss can just be ignored and he makes money still.

they may not consistently win but they consistently make money there's the difference i guess that's what OP means.  meaning they could someday lose money but they always win it back and profit at the same time.

Doge is historical. ever heard of that netflix director who blew all the funds and then YOLO on doge?

here's his story where he invested all the money that's left which is $4M and after the bull run, he shorted and turned the $4M to $27M. that dogecoin millionaire is nothing compared to what this guy did.

In some moments you are wrong. For example, that parents will tolerate a full diaper for a child if hard times come. Children are the most important thing we have, and even if everything is five times worse, then good parents will give the last thing they have just to make their child feel good and comfortable. Any parent knows this, and everyone who has children agrees with me.

A sufficient indicator of the poor situation in the economy is the rise in prices. This has always been and will always be, and this is enough to understand everything.

what about this. parents send their kids to their grandparents in order for them to attend 2 jobs so they could meet ends. grandparents neglect the kid's diaper. they run around the house while wet poop dripping. Grin

another strange indicator is the crocodile farm index, these farms are shutting down during an economic crash for there are no orders for crocodile skins for bags and shoes. these farms let go of their crocs to the California rivers too.  

1070  Economy / Economics / Re: Usdt tether buying btc the USDT might decouple of real USD on: November 24, 2023, 04:32:29 PM

it's like USD backed by BTC. makes sense just as they backed USD with gold back in Brettonwoods. The US government has more than 200K BTC and they could buy more from coinbase after all Blackrock is already an investor in that company so they could back the USD with BTC.

that would be an interesting development, i have heard of this before i think from Raoul Pal who said BTC was created after the 2008 collapse. BTC is meant for this.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: November 24, 2023, 04:14:24 PM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.

Because of the difference on bankroll. Rich people have a huge bankroll that gives them freedom to increase bet or play more until they win huge amount while poor has only limited bankroll which they will stop immediately once they lose enough.

This is the reason why poor shouldn't play gambling because it was intended for source of entertainment not a way to escape poverty. Bankroll is very important on gambling to stay longer until you hit your streak to profit.

rich can bet huge amounts to win big unlike the less fortunate gamblers can just risk a few dollars. the rich think $500 is just a small amount just as the poor think $5 is a small amount. both of them may have the same outlook like enjoying the game just like what we always read treating gambling as entertainment but the rich entertain themselves more because of the big bankroll they have.

1072  Economy / Economics / strange indicators to know economy is bad on: November 23, 2023, 08:50:50 PM
we know the economy is bad when gas prices have already gone up and all the rest of the stuff we usually buy in the grocery store is up 15%. and because your salary is just what it was the last 2 years, your situation is just as bad as the rest of us. we are in a recession. one reason more economists wanna be think we are in a recession is because we hear it on the news too.

but here are indicators to confirm we really are in an economic downturn.

1. butter popcorn index - people go to movies regardless of how bad the movie is. they just go see movies to just get away from their problems. but when the economy is bad, just sit and watch netflix.
 
2. diaper rash - parents wouldn't mind if their kid's diapers are already full during an economic crisis and are not neglectful when it comes to the diaper turning yellow during an economic upturn.

3. plastic surgery index - plastic surgery index is generally down during rough times as women wouldn't mind how small their boobs are than when the economy is booming.  

4. lipstick index -  women wouldn't spend much on expensive lipsticks so sales are gonna be bad for lipsticks compared to the times when economy is great.

5. japanese haircut index - during a good economy, more people in japan will take care of themselves and get their looks neat and they're not doing this during bad times. women don't go to beauty parlors.

6. bike fatality index - during an economic crisis, people use bikes often or can't afford cars so more bike accidents happen.

7. men underwear index - men especially singles don't mind wearing underwear with a couple of holes in it, no one sees it anyway. men buy less underwear during economic downturns.

8. garbage index - less garbage because people buy less when the economy is bad and buy more when times are good so more garbage everywhere.

9. unclaimed body index - during a bad economy, dead people are not claimed in the morgue. horrible index to look at how bad the economy is.
i'm sure people take care of their family when they die. can't believe this is happening.

i'm sure there are some more, there is also a "beer index" where people prefer to just buy 6 packs and go drink at home rather than a bar.
a few months ago, i bought my kid a secondhand laptop rather than a new one because it's expensive, i think this is also an indicator. and i know he'd break it sooner.


1073  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We should start looking into Altcoins on: November 23, 2023, 07:32:52 PM

ETH probably is way more serious than other altcoins, this one has already ETF filed by Blackrock. it's more secure to invest in ETH than other altcoins that grow just cents every time BTC spikes.

SOL though is kind of good because it really skyrocket weeks ago, it would probably shoot up again when there is another BTC green candle by next month. in a way, most altcoins are dragged up when BTC is having a bull run.
1074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would You Crowdfund for a Gambler Who Has Gambled Irresponsibly? on: November 23, 2023, 06:15:37 PM
And what would you say to those who go ahead to donate to these gamblers out of a sense of empathy?
There are people that have been crowdfunded for other reasons like out of love from people who love them. This people are already rich, but you get to see lots of people who are struggling to survive still donate their hard earned money to these people on celebrations like their birthdays, I find it foolish. These people can crowdfund anybody and anyone, they will not find it difficult if a popular gambler they love who has gambled irresponsibly ask for help in the form of financial supporters.

too naive to still support the person right?  and you couldn't really trust the guy is he said this time that the funds generated from this crowdfund would be used right to what is intended.  he gambled away the money that was originally meant for something. there is no assurance he will not gamble again the money to chase the loss.

anyway, it's all up to him already. if someone still trusts him. then maybe he really is worth trusting. not me. i'm struggling myself.
1075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance’s $4B settlement the green light for spot Bitcoin ETFs? on: November 23, 2023, 04:53:32 PM
One crypto executive predicted five months ago that spot Bitcoin ETFs would only be approved after Binance lost ground on its market dominance. Binance’s $4.3-billion settlement with the United States was the final hurdle before the country’s securities regulator approves spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), many industry watchers claim.
The SEC might be more comfortable working with an American company than an exchange owned by another national. There is also the rivalry between American firms and their Chinese counterpart. Zhao Changpeng might claim that Binance don't have any connections with China but the US will never be comfortable doing business with anyone that has any tie with China.

I also suspect that the SEC will never approve spot Bitcoin ETF until it has put all crypto businesses under its control. This massive fine on Binance also serves as a threat and lesson to other firms for them to abide by all the draconian laws the government has put in place. Just as the FinCEN's proposed new regulation to criminalise Bitcoin mixers, I believe that this Binance drama is the pathway to the approval of Bitcoin ETF.

that might not mean approval it's only binance.us that the US has under control. but wouldn't Hong Kong (China) launch their own ETFs too, and use Binance.com as their defacto index?  both poles should be launching ETFs as it will be beneficial for all. no one should be left behind in all these developments.

they moved the date for the ETF decision to March 2024 so its hard to speculate when it will be approved. it looks like they wanted the ETF approval close to halving date.
1076  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1XBIT.COM ᐉ 7 BTC WB ᐉ Altcoin Betting ᐉ no KYC ᕗ Instant payouts on: November 23, 2023, 04:09:48 PM
So yeah, even if 1xbit decided to launch on this forum again under a different brand entirely, they will still be caught, because there will always be a link that associates both casinos.
It is fortunate that the forum has users who are adept at investigating. I would really appreciate that. For now we must not let our guard down because 1xbit casino comes a new face taking the trust of people on the forum so every new casino that comes like it or not will be suspected. Despite having strong evidence that they evade not being involved gradually their ugliness is revealed. Like the casino you have mentioned, maybe one of the real evidence.
~~~
Failed? I dont think that they had failed considering that they are still and running then it is safe to assume that they are still that continuing their scam service. It is really just that they didnt become that active
into this forum since they do know that it is really that pointless on trying out to make themselves that marketing here on this forum because their reputation into this place is already worst or known or simply being busted.
They spent a lot of money on this forum to conduct their marketing campaign but they did not get the expected results from conducting their campaign as their reputation on this forum was only going down. Because they are scamming their customers so much that the scam reports were being exposed in this forum, so they could not fix their reputation. And from this point of view I think 1xbit has failed to put their company in a strong position in this forum.

But it is also true that they are running their business using other tricks and scamming the gamblers in various ways. Hope gamblers will be aware of this forum and be careful about these dishonest gambling sites.
Yeah, for the fact that no scam casino or services come to this forum and survive for long makes this forum of the most credible forum out there, like I think I have said here multiple times, I stopped trusting reviews from Trustpilot, which happens to be one the major rating sites, but only trust reviews from this forum.

Baffles me how a well known scam casino like 1xbit managed to have a good rating score on trustpilot, so let's assume there was no forum like this, 1xbit will go on scamming people who unsuspectingly believe that they are legit due to their seemingly good reputation based on trustpilot.

Anyways, I also hope that more gamblers will discover this forum, so that we have a very huge gambling  community here.
The reason on why they are really that still continuing in terms of operation on which the scam that had been done or made is really just that been selective. We do know that if things turns out to be that minor then it would really be that easily get that be forgotten and the cycle continues on which they would really be making those kind of behavior on locking up users funds
and ending up on getting unresolved. Its true that what if this forum didnt exist on the first place? For sure tons would really be that get victimized due into those non fair ratings.

 the ones who are not in this forum are going to be an easy target for their scam. it's surprising they were not launching on other crypto forums when they are very aggressive in their marketing. they were even pretending to build their trust by sending back the coins they took.

and during the time when they were campaigning here, they were also buying accounts even the ones with negative trust. they will activate those accounts when they get aggressive again.
1077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this the End for BC.GAME? on: November 23, 2023, 03:08:11 PM
it could be that they are just stopping the promotion after all they are already well-known in the crypto community. what a casino needs is to keep its campaign in the forum instead of having promotions and rakeback.

the visibility of ads to the forum seems to have worked on major casinos like Stake, i think it is better to just follow what Stake is doing than doing those signup bonuses.

before the major exchanges asked KYC to their cuatomers, they were just asking KYC to those customers withdrawing large amounts. the adoption in Hongkong started late but i think this exchange will also asking KYC soon even the users with the tiniest amount of BTC.

it has a decent interface actually and just like the rest of the platform, they also have a mobile app for ease of use.
1079  Economy / Economics / Re: No Correlation Between Academic Success and Financial Success on: November 22, 2023, 09:10:41 PM
We have seen that it has been debated that there are more A students who work for C students or there are C students who earn more than A students. Personally I don't believe any of this premise. What I believe is that it doesn't matter whether you are an A student or have a high IQ. Rather it's about having the courage to venture into unchattered territories, including taking calculated risk and making the most of the opportunities that lead to high income. In our society today and in the past, the people who have demonstrated audacity and capitalized on privileged advantages to undertake risky yet lucrative business ideas are the ones who end up being of great influence and earn more. Do you agree?

While I think anyone is capable of achieving success without going through higher education, there are certainly some obstacles in business that become more evident the higher you move up the chain. There is also an element of backing that if I have two candidates applying for a job, one has some qualifications from a medium tier university and the other has nothing but basic tier school grades, then I could hazard a guess that the university candidate may have more perseverance at the very least. However at a low level it is a very tiny factor because I've seen some truly awful university graduates entering the business world without a clue how to operate, so you need to judge everyone individually.

it always boils down to experience. i would hire the two and see which of them last in the worse condition in the workplace and the job they would do. i bet the one who graduated from a medium tier university will quit after a day.

the ones who with silver spoons stick up their ass always quit because they think they deserve a position after just a few months. the ones who can endure and have the perseverance to win are the ones finding out their strength.

is the guy who won that $16,000 worth of Niara the guy who avoided his friends after winning?  i wouldn't be surprised. he hid because if he shared 100N, he'd be bashed, by his friends but by giving more than $500, a lot of his acquaintances would become friends asking the same amount. and then if he gives just about $200, they will complain about giving him only $200 while the other friend receives $500. the self-entitlement is just like saying to the winner he has no right to say no.
