1161  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat is a Digital currency without Value on: July 13, 2020, 02:23:33 PM
I think this post is misleading. I do believe in fiat currency and not really in crypto though cryptocurrency has also a good feature like anonymity and decentralization. However, having crypto still need to use the fiat currency to buy in and that fiat currency is from a centralized system. Before you can have a decentralized currency one may still going to undergone a lot of transaction fees or service fee from banks or whatsoever like remittances (some accepting payment for crypto).

Now, why I think this post is misleading. Well yes fiat currency has really no value just like what OP had stated. Its cheap materials could to make the fiat currency also is not the reason of its value. So how could a fiat currency getting its value? It is the economic state of every country on how much its worth. Of course USA had establish already where high rise building could be seen. This is one way how a country getting its value. It is the asset from structural to resources and income. The greater a country made an income the stronger its economy will be and so does its fiat currency like china.
1162  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do any casinos offer cryptocurrency staking? on: July 13, 2020, 02:11:20 PM
Well staking might be possible and I had seen it casino and other gambling activities. Yet, staking has set a limit. The limit that has been set will help the casino not to get losses in that old school staking bet. As we all know that staking without limit will help the user to win at his advantage and never will a casino allow this because casino is a business to earn and not to get more losses.

Anyway, I think also that it is not better to look at gambling as a means for living but instead it should be the fun and excitement when one will going to bet.
1163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 13, 2020, 02:03:34 PM
and tell them to have social distancing between the other. But it is better to suggest the people wear a mask without any exception still.

The social distancing plus masks plus good ventilation system (address the post above)  would be god way to cope the viral aerosol spreading  inside casino, but again only the top rated ones have enough room to  spread the distance between  the playing tables and slots.  However many casino are  trying to utilize the available space as much as possible.
As General Quarantine had been lifted and proceeded to Modified General quarantine where others had already open establishment for entertainment like here in our place but it is not a guarantee that virus willg going to stop its transmission. The virus has incredibly easy to transmit and is also an airborne diseases as what the scientist had been told.

Getting fun is good but of course health should not get compromised. This is why I think it is still need not to open establishment like this. It should start first how losses be recovered and not by gambling to which it could lead to more losses instead.
1164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chess on Sports/eSports betting on: July 13, 2020, 01:56:06 PM
For chess to become a prominent game among gamblers there must be a element added to chess such that the viewers have fun watching the game and not just bored spectators.

Non-sense idea. How come chess should add an element just to entertain the viewers and gamblers? The game system of chess is already known to all - playing in a silent environment. And to those who know chess, they enjoy that environment compare to what Esports have. And besides chess don't have regular events and that's the reason why only a few betting options available.

Totally different in the environment of the Esports industry.
I think adding more fun element means that adding more features like betting on the next move or something would bring the fun to the next level, while also offering odds on a draw. Not a complete non-sense idea if you ask me because the reason chess is played in isolation makes it a little bit boring indeed and you are right though that what can we do to make it interesting but that is what gambling platforms need to come up with and if me and you had that intelligence we would be having our own casino, no?

But yeah e-sports is a different scenario and much more fun while chess still needs more viewership and then maybe we can consider it being added for betting.
If that so, many gamblers will win in that way since it's easy to determine the moves if you're using some chess engine like stockfish which is one of the greatest engines that's being used by Grand Master for training. I guess blitz game is the right game mode of chess on sports betting, no one can use engines and it's a fast phased game which is very interesting to watch.

Chess already gained a lot of audiences right now and making its comeback on the sports scene. Every live battle is being discussed and always reaching thousands of views. There are many platforms talk about chess right now, I'm saying this because I played a lot of games, following a lot of pro-players and streamers, and noticed that chess is on the mainstream again. Those who are saying that chess doesn't have much viewership aren't aware of other streaming platforms, they just watch on YT or on TV.
Watching on live stream of chess plays is already a lot fun. I think there is no need to do some adding up elementa just to get into the next level. A mind games or sports does not make fun on the materials or platform they had played on but instead the fun is on how one can outsmart the other player using strategic moves letting the opponent getting caught by surprise. In short, chess is not about feature rather it is all about strategy and surprises.
1165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: same private key? on: July 11, 2020, 01:51:18 PM
Even slight chances having the same private key still it will give doubt to the users. Who knows that out of luck your holdings will be shared to the same wallet private key. This is somehow what we call a really2x bad luck out of the so many private keys you two had made the same. LOL, anyway as it was mention from other usera that it is bwing close to impossible. Well just hope that the system will not going to make any duplications regarding with private keys so as to protect holdings and should not be to become the most unfortunate btc user.
1166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should we invest in a bitcoin exchange? on: July 11, 2020, 09:07:33 AM
investing requires a thorough study. Yes one can invest in bitcoin exchange. However we know that when it comes cryptocurrency, it is relevant to high risk. High risk meaning high potential losses and it make worst due to its volatility. This is the main reason when one ask for invest usually you will get an answer from most of the users here  to do your own research and invest money you can afford to lose. Aside from that there are other users will going to tell you to invest in variety of crypto or by not putting your money in one basket.
1167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 1.1 BTC in 35 Days on Sportsbet.io on: July 11, 2020, 09:02:56 AM

A great few points you mentioned and I totally agree on the point that a game without stream is hard to predict and analyse and it is more like virtual soccer and simulated sports.

I was so good when tennis matches were being done normally because there is a certain nature like Roger Federer is expected to break serves less often than what a player like Nadal would do so I was good at predicting tennis but now that no proper tennis games are going on I can't make much bets although Thiem7 has been done and some great players play in that tournament including Dominic Thiem himself.
This is the reason why others became more excited to watch live games due to excitement and that is betting. Even before betting was already introduce because this is the way to show their support towards the team or player the love to win in the match.

This activity just being made more aggressive and it is already consider as gambling. It began to make more excitement over the period of time due to changes from betting style to betting opportunity giving fair bets and flexible terms.
1168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING on: July 11, 2020, 08:55:37 AM
60% is a very large number. Given that there is a big risk that people will violate safety rules. It is enough to see how many violations were in countries where quarantine was introduced.
According to the latest data, even ordinary rag masks do not save the virus, and in this kind of congestion there will be enough just a couple of carriers of the virus that can feel fine and not suspect anything.
assymptomatic of course there are many of this since the virus is not that really fatal but it could make other sickness to complicate like high blood and diabetes. This virus also dangerous to those individuals with low immune system. The older individuals are considered high risk because of their loe immune system.

However, corona virus made an impact to esports like mobile legend. More and more users playing this game and it is widely known globally I guess.
1169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 11, 2020, 08:49:26 AM
Depending on how crypto could be independent. Yes,.cryptocurrency may be useful in the future and it has feature also that are aiding a gambler in betting (being anonymous) at the same gambling will also become accessible anytime anywhere (you can bet even in your C.R while pooping). However third party has already watch the cryptocurrency because it began to become popular from its use to the users that are being scam and reported to authority to which cryptocurrency being tag as scam even though it is not. But because of the abuse cryptocurrency was being used as a medium of abuses.

For me if this happening will never change then cryptocurrency will never get the chance to fully utilized its potential use.
1170  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beware of fake YouTube giveaways on: July 10, 2020, 01:52:07 PM
And this is one of the catches of "Blue Snow" about fake giveaway. I am not surprised at the fact that there is something like it and it often happens, but if we understand it, all will not be deceived by them.

[Scam] Youtube Channel Fake Giveaway
Yes, this is more like common now because we are already aware that youtube has been also a medium for scamming or to decieve other. However, before the common incident happen like this, there are already users being scam. They were very unfortunate to get decieve by this kind of scam before.

We were just being lucky today that we can now avoid scammers for we have learn the lesson from others who get victimized. But still we should be aware that scammers also getting more and more strategy just to scam others.
1171  Other / Meta / Re: Paraphrasing, is it ok? on: July 10, 2020, 01:46:47 PM
Parapharsing is alright as long as the author of that phrase were being recognized or mention if not then it is still plagiarism taking ideas from others. In this case it is already considered as plagiarism because sentence by sentence clearly being copy intentionally.

This is a rare case and have not seen like this. Usually a post like this could not be hard to detect unless there is a keen observation being made. Well this is a good catch. This will lead others to investigate also other users that might doing this as well.
1172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience? on: July 10, 2020, 01:40:48 PM
Yes of course, there is no a better place than home. This means that it is also applicable to every venue of a sports.  Support is very important in every game. This is a way to motivate players and to get more strength on the people rhat are believing in them especially in basketball.

This is why when it comes to betting I do believe that when a strong team plays in their court then betting on them would be at high advantage. I had been into betting in NBA and most of the time I win because my bet always on the winning team or the strong team.
1173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life soundtrack for Gamblers? on: July 10, 2020, 01:35:26 PM

Yah, it really depends on the gambler's preference. Most of our casino's have the same tones always with jazzy beats. I don't know any person that owns a casino so I really cannot say why they prefer those kind of music. But we do know that jazzy music is not just used in casino's but also music in posh establishments. It's like jazzy music was used - perhaps, this is my opinion, it is used as a default template to be played to show "class" and "eliteness". I don't know about others but that's how I feel when I hear jazz and saxophone instrumentals.
Yes, this because music could be distractive to users. We had our own genre when it comes to music. One may going to like it while others may not. So to avoid any commotion regarding on this concern then casino had been played music like jazz. Usually there are no titles, no vocala or if there is then probably songs were not being launched to public but just for the Casino.

However, there are music actually and it has been probably had given time for it and usually it would be sung by a singer in live or a concert.
1174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: July 10, 2020, 01:25:36 PM

Not really,,, some offline casinos give a line of credit to their regular customers, either formally through electronic card which I have seen,,, or informally where the guy busts and asks if he can "borrow" a bit. Double owed or nothing. That is worse than crypto casinos which give you zero credit.
Yes, possibly the worst thing always happen in casino. Owing usually happen but of course it come also with collateral like car bikes or cellphone. This is how I always seen in the offline casino.

Preferrably online casino would be a better choice. Onlinen casino provide more fun and a better way of betting away from fraud near you in the offline casino.
1175  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it possible to live without banks? on: July 09, 2020, 03:00:07 PM
With the world's economy collapsing, people are looking for alternative safe-haven assets to use in times of turmoil. Interest in crypto has sparked a lot ever since the stock market went on a decline. If people decide to use crypto, precious metals, and physical cash, will it be possible to live a normal life without a bank?

In my case, I'd be willing to exit the banking system in order to have true sovereignty over my money. After all, that's what crypto is all about. If you could live your normal life without the need to ever interact with a bank (having a bank account to make transactions, etc), it'll be a blast. With the world shifting towards the online realm for e-commerce, virtual meetings, and more, it seems likely that people will be using decentralized money more thoroughly. There are still people using credit/debit cards, but that may change soon as Fiat becomes hyper-inflated.

What are your thoughts? Huh
Yes it very possible because the service of banks is not really needed in order for us to survive. It is the basic needs like shelter, clothing and food make us survive. Though banks especially now we are in pandemic is also neede for our comfort and fast transaction process. Though bitcoin may be use as an alternative but there is high risk of it to where one could make potential losses with bitcoin being a decentralized system.

This is why banks over bitcoin still banks has the advantage since I had just thought that banks ask us to pay transaction fee so as bitcoin when transferring bitcoin from one wallet to another wallet.
1176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any successful and relatively new casinos? on: July 09, 2020, 02:53:57 PM
I think yes and it will depend on the competitive package of that casino. Im not sure if roobet just release this year or maybe the year before that but they are definitely a new platform compared to other, we can see how users attracted to this casino because they always launching a very good promotional bonuses on their platform and even here on forum. If all casino can do that they can stay longer in the business.

Other casinos problem are lack of reputation or simply involved on some issues they are not accounted for ending up losing players on their platform.
Definitely you are right. New casino should take advantage foe now due to pandemic and by this getting reputation from the users will be an advantage. It would be good also to get ratings from them and to get also their comments and suggestion to get the idea on how to serve them better.

Aside from that, ads also is very effective in promoting new casino. I had seen few online casino had been into promotion and giving good bonuses are now stable and  establish with more users in their platform.
1177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Record Revenue for Blockchain Gaming Company During Pandemic on: July 09, 2020, 02:49:19 PM
Well yeah this time is really great to promote blockchain gaming company due to lockdown and stay at home rulings. And if promotion is successful then definitely a  record will going to follow just like what OP has been seeing to a certain gaming company mention above.

There are lot of things to do during the lockdown and this oandemic. Variety of activities will be going to apply
 So in this case a gaming system would also be fit in this times of lockdown. And if there are record revenue being.mention by OP pretty sure that more business now are in troubled especially that are still close for now and could not operate like entertainment and sports industry. And this is not good for them especially if this will take so long.
1178  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kudos to Bitcasino.io on: July 09, 2020, 02:42:42 PM
And I'm sure they know they'll get much more than that from me.  :-)
I likexthe way you said that they cab get much more from you. Actually they are just giving you time or effort for your account and gives you only a little motivation to continue using their platform. Every client is their interest for them also to earn.

However, I admit though that in other side Bitcasino had showed what a real value of a client could be. Attitude really matter. Yet, I could also think wha if the amount being hack was more than 2 or more btc, are they willing to make a refund or give free spins?

There could be scenario like this but not being publicized for a certain reason and that is to prevail dignity over platform to where gamers account could be hack wether it is the user's fault or the system itself.
1179  Economy / Economics / Re: COVID AND INDIAN ECONOMY on: July 08, 2020, 11:38:07 AM
At least they should take the precautions, such as wearing facial mask and keeping social distancing. But in my area, people are not doing so. Even those with active symptoms such as fever and coughing are roaming around. I understand that a developing country such as India can't afford to shut down the economy for months. But at last the police should make sure that everyone is taking necessary precautions to avoid the spread of the disease.
Just where country you are living? I had also the same observation here in our place. But I guess not all but there are few who were not doing this.

This pandemic is really hinders to what we should have done now. The blame should be on where this virus started. I do hope that they will going to pay what they had done around the globe.

Anyway, OP had made some solutions for their economic growth but the question is that the solution could be done? Aside from the solutions being made is not really the answer for me but OP had no place to decide for it is the leaders to make this done. So, OP wait until you become a leader to represent the many to decide for your country.
1180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING SITE INVESTMENT on: July 08, 2020, 10:57:17 AM
Seriously?

This platform is popular in the forum, they have are operating profitably so I don't think I'd agree with you on that.

OP is making an investment, and he is also profitable and some investors are even suggesting to invest on this site, it's not about a token or a project, it's a real investment where the profitability rate depends on the operation of the site.
Probably you are saying that OP has done it for advertisement. I slightly agree with you because there are other platform that are also accepting investment to continue their operation. Yet, in the investment before putting money to a gambling site, one should do a study first and opinions coming from experts knowledgeable to that certain gambling site.

But, if I were to ask there are few investment where you can put your money. Just do some research and invest where you can assess to have higher percentage rate to success and higher profits.
