1081  Economy / Speculation / Re: We entered a bear market earlier than expected on: April 18, 2021, 10:33:37 PM
This has been going on for ages here at the crypto community, it's not like this is the end of the world for us because we all are confident that we'd get more of this in the future, quite possibly along with ATHs as well. So don't FUD, rest your feet on something comfortable, probably crack open a cold one with the boys, because this bear market will not be the end of bitcoin. Neither will the future bear markets be its demise.
1082  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the best Sport to bet on ? on: April 18, 2021, 10:27:29 PM
The best sport to put your gamble on is the sport and the team that you know best. This requires you actively researching about your favorite game, your favorite team, and how they will fare against other teams at the same game. This may sound like a hefty task but believe me, this almost always give you greater chances at winning than just gambling on a game you know nothing about. Only upside on that being the fact that you won't feel as bad when you lose as when you have invested time learning it, but Ignorance is Bliss after all.
1083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experiment - Doubling small stake for big gains on: April 18, 2021, 10:17:28 PM
It's actually a fair technique to use when you have just enough for a single game, or when you have a spare balance on your account that you can afford to lose. That being said, this tactic is heavily reliant in your odds of winning in the first few games, and becomes more and more unforgiving the more games you win. So even if it all came from a spare balance in the first place, there is still some form of risk involved. And this risk compounds the more you win.
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos: Internal notifications, message inbox vs Email. on: April 17, 2021, 10:21:46 PM
Internal notifications in casinos should definitely be carried over to your email because it's not like you're going to check your gambling notifications everytime you login. Personally, I missed a lot of coupons, freebies, and sometimes just regular updates and news to the casino I am gambling on which I still would want to receive and learn more about, moreso when it comes to the TOS that most gambling sites don't even let their customers know right away.
1085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An obvious rigging of Sports. on: April 17, 2021, 10:15:37 PM
The behavior of the players are more than enough evidence to confirm that this is indeed a fixed game, there's no way a pro basketball player commits mistakes like that consistently throughout the game, and just how lame and limpy these players look, as if their enthusiasm for the game has died out all of a sudden, it's very much a fixed game, an obvious one at that, and I'm glad the committee handling this match called it off early, hopefully each team receives sanctions and penalties for such violation because this is a blatant disrespect to Basketball.
1086  Economy / Economics / Re: Why not "COVID" vaccine passports on a blockchain ID on: April 16, 2021, 10:49:12 PM
Because it will take more time and will incur more money. Plus technological barriers will make it so people will have an excuse not to be vaccinated, so although the paper COVID passport may seem primitive to some of us, It's simplicity and accessibility ensures that everyone can use its features without too much effort incurred on one side. Unlike digitizing the passport, where some of us still has a flip-phone instead of a smartphone in hand.
1087  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will Quantum computing affect Bitcoin? on: April 16, 2021, 10:46:10 PM
Miners and hackers will be the ones to benefit the most about the public release of Quantum Computers. Their theoretical power is enough to ensure that no GPUs will be needed anymore in mining. Thus reducing the chances of GPU Scalping as well, keeping the PC gaming industry alive. On the downside however, hackers getting a hold of quantum computers will make it incredibly easier for them to tap into virtually everyone's private addresses, so hacking and stealing bitcoins will be regular news to us.
1088  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen if Satoshi moves or sells his Bitcoin? on: April 16, 2021, 10:43:56 PM
If he does that, we'll know for sure that it was him. That is provided that the movement is massive and involves him moving thousands upon thousands of his collected bitcoins. On the upside, this will induce circulation since sleeping coins are reinstated back into the market to facilitate more transactions in the future. On the downside, this will mean that bitcoin will dump in value and may take time before it can recover from its former price.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You won today, but then you will lose often on: April 16, 2021, 10:40:05 PM
If you don't use your brain and practice self-control while gambling, all your wins today will just be funding for your next losses tomorrow. That's the truth. Everyone must be mindful of how much they spend on gambling, as well as their wins and losses. From there, you will have to make a plan that you will religiously follow to make your gambling experience fun and at the same time profitable.
1090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Love the bad news on: April 16, 2021, 12:02:42 AM
Totally get your point buddy. Always see an opportunity no matter how dire the situation is. Although that best applies to bitcoin, I don't think that ever applies to most coins in the market, especially those that don't have a solid following to begin with. This is why rugpulls are devastating to an investor. You're literally left with nothing to begin with and the guy who pulled a fast one on you is happy with the money he stole.
1091  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin are playing with the big boys and cleaning their energy footprint on: April 15, 2021, 11:36:14 PM
Bitcoin is surprisingly environmentally friendly, as opposed to what most of the people think. Individual Miners may definitely use their in-home internet which is then again derived from fossil fuel burning, but large mining rigs out there are using greener and more efficient ways to tap energy, like wind and solar energy for instance. This rally bitcoin is making may actually help onboard the industry into switching to renewable energy resources in the future.
1092  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe history repeat itself? Economic wise. on: April 15, 2021, 11:03:51 PM
History doesn't repeat itself, it's just different people committing the same mistakes our predecessors did in the past. Panic selling is nothing new to us, or to our guys in the past, especially during the great depression and the stock market crash, but then again, you have people out there that know what they were doing who you can rely on fixing the mess these people did for them. There will always be those guys because that's the nature of us humans. To commit mistakes and help other people pick themselves up and recover.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the biggest competitive eSports? Do you ever place eSport bets? on: April 15, 2021, 10:47:57 PM
DotA 2 Pioneered the concept of huge pricepools in eSports, dare I even say that it is due to them that eSports is a big thing right now. The huge focus they exert in the price pools and the integrity of each game is definitely something that you have to applaud Valve for. Because of them people saw potential in eSports and have been recognized as a bonafide sporting event in some countries.
1094  Economy / Economics / Re: Bernard Madoff dies in prison. A 20 year long Ponzi on: April 14, 2021, 10:10:37 PM
If enough people believes a lie, it becomes the truth. The same happened with the Ponzi scheme Madoff held. A lot of people had believed in his promise of profit and gains, mostly from the Jewish community as you have mentioned. The same people gathered more people due to altruistic tendencies, or maybe due to the promise of syndicated gains. At the end of the day, let's just be happy that it's finally over, and that until his dying breath he never saw the light of the day on the other side of his prison cell.
1095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: He said Bitcoin is a Scam: See What happened to Him on: April 14, 2021, 10:05:46 PM
I wouldn't waste my energy telling people what bitcoin is or isn't. Not that what you did was bad because it is actually good. I just don't like getting into fights especially over the internet when there are more things that can be done with the time wasted arguing with people. You may call me selfish but at the end of the day, you can't entrust your inner growth to other people, it is solely based off of you.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ibrahimovic under FIFA and UEFA investigation on: April 14, 2021, 10:02:56 PM
This could ruin his retirement. The guy is almost over with his career, so to be fined 100 million euros for conflict of interest is something that will hit him hard certainly. I hope he has backup plans, or things in store that will make the jury rethink their investigation. Otherwise Ibrahimovic is going to suffer a lot from this lost, especially club Milan.
1097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Major differences between investment and gambling. on: April 14, 2021, 09:59:58 PM
Some games offer 50/50 odds, actually most of them offer such. Investments however, come in all forms of odds of winning and losing. Investing is a process of trial and error, knowing which ones are the best to invest on and the techniques to use is something that you do not learn overnight, whilst of course in gambling, you don't have to learn that much, besides the rules of the game since the view is short term and doesn't apply to multiple scenarios most of the time.
1098  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin better than Fiat? on: April 13, 2021, 11:29:05 PM
Bitcoin shows great potential in revolutionizing the otherwise hopeless scenario of the fiat world. Capitalism taking over, big companies fighting over the control for people, unlivable wages and living conditions more dreadful than what's brewing in your sewage system, all of this is something that can be solved by a much more systematic currency that gives the purchasing power to the people, and not entirely to the corporations. Good thing bitcoin is just the perfect guy for the job.
1099  Economy / Economics / Re: Investment the way to economic stability on: April 13, 2021, 11:13:11 PM
Basically you mean to say that to secure your riches is to invest it. Well you could actually be right, especially if you're not that rich and are at the middle class, with which you will definitely need multiple ways to earn money besides your regular 9-5. But you're definitely correct. the best way to preserve the purchasing power of your riches is to invest it into something that doesn't depreciate very fast, either gold, oil, or bitcoin. Bitcoin stands out because among these aforementioned assets, it's the one that's easily reachable.
1100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you limit your gambling time? on: April 13, 2021, 11:08:32 PM
I think it is better to actually limit the number of games you play instead of the time you spend playing. I believe that would actually help you lessen your losses incurred, since you can impose strict regulations on yourself like you can only gamble for seven games, or like one guy I saw here who automatically stops gambling for that day after incurring three losses. In simple ways like that you can ensure that all the wins you get are secured and bagged, plus losses are also limited, if not prevented.
