121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Outside risk: similarities between gambling and trading? on: April 30, 2019, 06:10:49 PM
Gambling and trading may both have risks but atleast in trading you will have more chances on making profits because this is based on your skills and strategies.If you are a good trader,you will definitely gain profits in trading whatever the market price is.With gambling,i think its more risky because the chances of winning is very rare compared to losing.And this is based on pure luck so if you are not lucky that time you gamble,you will surely end up losing.
I disagree with you mate, There’s no better chances of making profit in trading. They both have same chances of losing and winning.  If you say there are good traders in trading, don’t forget there are also professional gamblers in gambling.

Professional gamblers believe in having good skills and strategies to play but still, they still lose the games most of the times, that’s what makes both games risky. I think trading and gambling is for those who can take risk, and I like the fact that they both give opportunity to the player to make money.

I just can't wait to see what type of reaction we will get, I mean there are couple of other people who are doing some sort of lambo lottery and I agree that they are not as famous as freebitcoin but they are getting absolutely no help at all and no interest neither.

I just hope that is because they are not known and we are known so we can actually get to see people jumping into this. I will be buying tickets with all my money in there and I know keeping it on wallet would help me get more interest yearly but I just feel like its still better to just try my luck, the winning amount is literally 200k!

I don't know if it will be allowed or if it would be too much but I may literally just ask for it on my account and than keep it for more interest Cheesy. 4% of 200k is 8 thousand dollars and that means about 666 dollars per month, that is literally twice the minimum wage here in my country Cheesy.
123  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: April 30, 2019, 09:45:44 AM
The intended purpose of the offsite system is primarily for investors to decrease their counterparty risk by holding part of their investment themselves. It was never intended as a roundabout way for investors to increase their risk beyond what is safe according to the Kelly criterion.

But as bustabit's bankroll continues to grow, I believe the offsite system is increasingly being (ab)used to do just that. At over 6,300 BTC, bustabit's bankroll is only rarely fully utilized, so investors' desire to gain a larger stake in it by leveraging is understandable. However, it is arguably unfair towards other investors and is also not in bustabit's best interest, which ideally wants a stable and highly utilized bankroll.

In the past I've already reduced the maximum leverage for new offsite investments a number of times to discourage overleveraging and today I am disabling the ability to make new offsite investments entirely. Existing offsite investments are unaffected. Investors with offsite investments can still add to or remove from their onsite bankroll without being forced to divest their offsite portion. It is also possible to lower your offsite investment without fully removing it.
That makes sense, after all why would the people who leverage their investment on a casino that literally prints money from how much it earns while others just stay there taking all the potential risks if there is any big win but not get the same amount during the big loses.

I fully agree with this decision and I feel like maybe even removing the existing ones could have worked as well, I mean 6300+ is more than enough for a long long time to cover many many losses and I think if you let it be the amount will grow by itself not by just more people investing more actually people profiting from their investments and organically increasing that amount too. I feel you can just let it be the regular invest/divest without any extra steps and still make it work for everyone involved.
124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto is so great on: April 30, 2019, 09:06:41 AM
Although Satoshi's true identity is still a mystery it can't be denied that many people who got into the blockchain boom in its earlier stages have benefited in some way, whether it be from learning about the technologies evolution, developing their own cryptocurrencies or profiting from having invested early and there's still plenty of room for development and innovation, so it'll definitely be exciting to see what lies ahead
Satoshi has given hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless, there are so many people with great ideas and concept that has been in this world without the hope of getting fund to develop their idea, but thanks to satoshi through his blockchain idea, these projects have seen the light of the day, they really owe satoshi a lot for this.

If not for scammer that has now spoil ICO, do you know how many students that have been sent back to school through their participation in bounty programs? Not to talk of the ease of now making payment easily by people who has been deprived of opportunities to make payment through paypal because of their strict condition.
125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Right desicion not to join on: April 30, 2019, 08:32:35 AM
and I'm not interested in joining the yobit campaign. yes. a few days ago I got information about the signature campaign on yobit. but with different rules. and I predict it will be risky. .finally. global moderator made a strong topic about the yobit campaign.my consideration is that yobit campaign rules are not normal.
I just dint get why Yobit chose to limit itself to bad ways when they have got the potential to really do great things, imagine how popular their names has been, almost everyone on this forum has heard of Yobit or done one or 2 transactions on Yobit that ended up in a bad way. Since they have the crowd’s attention, there is nothing left or hindering them from performing well.

If after seeing all these negative comments and reviews about themselves, they are still not working to change, then I would blame those who are paying attention to their service, they better avoid them now before it gets too late.
126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sweden on track to stop using cash by 2023 on: April 28, 2019, 05:00:24 PM
I have to say that Sweden is in the forefront of the world in this respect, and now because of Alipay, WeChat is in China. There are also many people who like mobile payments, they can do things without going out with cash. This is also very convenient.
In my country, virtually most people prefers to operate a cashless system to that of cash society and as the years goes by, cash s gradually becoming less used, now with the invention of cryptocurrency to make the whole cashless things easier, cash may soon become a thing that will be forgotten soon.

For this reason of more interest in cashless system, we have to believe in the future of cryptocurrency and whatever actions we presently in the system are performing now should be for the future, early adopters of cryptocurrency are the ones that will really get benefits out of the system, which we have to endeavor to be among them.
127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: April 27, 2019, 09:03:06 PM
I can't believe the type of player Durant became, we always knew he was a great player but his scoring is unparalleled in history. I have never seen anyone, even MJ and Kobe score that easily without even working, Kobe for example had to shoot over 5 guys sometimes and we joked about how he scored over people constantly instead of passing.

Durant is not like that, he just wants to score and does without any effort (at least it looks like that, I am sure there is effort involved). I really can't think of any other competition for warriors as long as they have Durant and he plays like he plays. Yeah rockets have harden and kudos to them but Durant would neutralize that easily and others could make up the difference. I keep thinking warriors could be beaten eventually but they always remind me why they are the best roster ever assembled.
128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2018-2019 on: April 27, 2019, 08:14:55 PM
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like there is only 2 games left and not three. I know that we have been underestimating these teams for the whole season but they managed to go this far but I feel like the final is already decided. Barcelona and Liverpool game will be really entertaining and I really don't know which one will win, both of these teams are inconsistent at best and anything could change any moment so I totally agree that it all depends which one of them is on their day and wouldn't bet on it.

Tottenham and Ajax will be super fun too, nobody expected to see neither of these teams on semi finals for sure but here they are so it will be super entertaining but I wouldn't bet on them neither. Yet the final will be a bit predictable, whoever wins from Barcelona Liverpool will destroy ajax/tottenham duo. I can't be the only one who thinks like that right?
129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The price of coins starts in green on: April 26, 2019, 08:28:03 PM
Q1 2019 showed great resistance to the long bear market and this trend has entered into the Q2 with most of the valuable coins showing gradual increase in price. Bitcoin has crossed the $5.6K and this caused most of the altcoins to green along with it. The time to buy more and wait for the imminent bull market is now.
Funny enough, reverse of it is what I am seeing here, the last time I took a peep at the price of bitcoin when it crossed to $5600, most altcoins did not follow in the uptrend, except some few ones that were at the top, I don’t think altcoins do follow the uptrend of Bitcoin always, sometime they do, sometimes they do not, I still don’t have an explanation for this yet.

All I know is that this is the time to buy more of Bitcoin as against altcoins, when BITCOIN goes on its bull run, I see a lot of altcoins dumping in price because many people will take advantage of the bull and swap their altcoins for it , making us have a big dump in altcoins.
130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why is Binance Coin a good choice to HOLD? on: April 26, 2019, 07:25:48 PM
not necessarily like that, where the binance blockchain will be different from ethereum blockchain. they must develop from the start, for their new blcokchain and their platform. all depends on how later the binance blockchain can be accepted by the new project market, which may be able to differ views regarding how to use it.
of course they will have a long time to develop their chain. this is a process, and the release of the binance chain will update the crypto market. I think that will make the price go up high. we'll see how it will develop after a swap for BNB coins.
I think Binance is gradually succeeding in getting what they desire, to get people to start swapping their holding for Binance, I really cannot be live that I have almost swapped all swapable coins to Binance because of the interesting way they have been developing.

I really love this project and I want to believe that I have not made the wrong choice in doing so, I see a bright future in all the projects that they have been establishing and I really see them competing with Ethereum with the new project they have embarked on to create their own chain too and with the awareness they already have, ethereum might be losing half of its community to Binance.
131  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Sparks Imminent Crypto Bull Stampede with 44% Gains in 2019 on: April 26, 2019, 05:26:40 PM
I think people got smarter about the news, people with money and fame tried to use the news places to make the movements they want and it was cheaper for them to manipulate the markets that way. Now people know this and that is why they are definitely trying to check the markets and the movements and not the news.

As you can see from the latest bull run we know that people realize what is the resistance levels and what is the support levels and how it could be used for our advantage in order to break them, as we learnt this it really helps us navigate the prices the way we want and we all want to increase the price, dropping the price only works out for the people who have short futures and now that we are capable of going up they are going to be less and less.
132  Economy / Economics / Re: How adoption will happen on: April 26, 2019, 04:11:58 PM
If you mean to say when the adoption of cryptocurrency would be then i guess it would start in the advanced countries like China, USA, Japan etc. These countries have the best of system in place to enable the use of cryptocurrencies as a currency for buying goods and paying for services.
These advance countries are what will really speed up the adoption rate but I am not that happy about the news that I am getting from the country I expected to wholeheartedly receive it because of their great technology, which is China, I even heard that they are planning to ban mining activities in China, I do not know the reason for this because they are the one that benefits more from the cryptocurrency.

I am sure that USA with time see the light in cryptocurrency and adopt it and probably encourage other advanced countries too to look into it and adopt this system.

This is so cool I remeber Men in Black again because of this post hehehe Thank you so much for making a lot of contest and giveaway your so genereous no doubt that stake will spread to the gambling community.


I revised this film many times in my childhood; I heard its cult sequel coming soon.
Now you need to follow in your footsteps and try to play this game on the site.
Yeah, men in black is coming for a second time and I think it won't be as good as the previous ones. Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth that played on Thor: Ragnorak together plays on the new one and they think that just because they have a chemistry together and just because they are good names now they could get away with it but I feel like no sequal can really come close to its original ones, same happened with Ghostbusters recently as well. People who make movies and then fail put the blame on other people like critics and online trolls bu in reality they never could face the fact that they actually made a horrible movie.

In any case if stake wanted to make a men in black promotion it should have been on the day the new movie coming up so it would be relevant as well.
134  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the economic growth of Bitcoin will show a positive impact in upcoming days on: April 26, 2019, 08:27:29 AM
Of course when superstars are involved in an ecosystem it will have a profound effect on the ecosystem itself, including the crypto currency industry, but we need to know to what extent these superstars are involved in the crypto industry, if the superstar is involved only in context only business is paid to advertise crypto, in my opinion the right is not effective enough to advance crypto economics, because crypto itself requires someone's involvement directly with crypto to be able to advance it.
I know that super stars are super rich but I believe that we need more of the local contents than the super stars, we cannot compared the population of super stars to the entire world, even if any superstar will decide to join in the cryptocurrency, it will only be for the sole purpose of investing shortly to make profit.

The major people we really need are the fans they are promoting the crypto too, the adoption we need more now that will also communicate the effectiveness of cryptocurrency to the government are the fans that they have, if they all adopt crypto, then we will gradually achieve the aim for which cryptocurrency was created by satoshi.
135  Economy / Speculation / Re: IS IT TIME TO BUY MORE BITCOIN? on: April 26, 2019, 07:42:23 AM
Observed price fall since last three days. Always its good to buy when the value is low. Don't think the value would again fall back to $4k. Hence buy now and start the trade and earn profits every day out of day trading. Feel to have a bitcoin at present to do a day trading.
 As long as the value of bitcoin is affordable, then it is an open opportunity to everyone to invest or buy this asset on which it has a huge potential in cryptocurrency. Hence, many investors resembled and keep this asset as it can give bountiful profits in return.
With all due respect I would disagree with your point mate, do you know that Bitcoin value was quite affordable for some rich investors when Bitcoin reached $19,000 in the last bull run, which most of them bought at that value, now that they followed your advice and bought at affordable price to them at that value, do you still blame them?

Even if bitcoin reaches $50,000, it will still be affordable for some investors but may be the wrong time then, I think it should not be about affordability but it should be about bottom price, I will only advise investors to invest anytime bitcoin price bottoms so that they don’t get into the market at the wrong time.
136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have experience betting in a spider fight? on: April 25, 2019, 06:25:40 PM
It is not possible to find those insects here where I live, so I have never seen people gambling on any spider fighting, I think this is something people do in warmer countries with richer wild animal wildlife.
How would you even pick a spider to gamble on?
It’s strange and I keep wondering how   anyone would pick a spider to gamble with among all the available things that they can use to gamble.  I think some animals should be left alone, I read on this this same forum weeks back how people gamble on insect so many times, then cocks and now it is spider. I think it all depends on country.

There are so many spiders in my country but there is no record of spider gambling or any other king of animal gambling. We cherish all animals and we treat them with all fairness, so it will be difficult to have such games here in my country, it may even be forbidden.
137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with your Parents on: April 25, 2019, 05:45:02 PM
Yes I gamble and play with my parents it is one of our family time.
We usually play cards when we gamble but sometimes we bet with other stuff like who would do the chores who would clean the house.
This type of gambling   can be very interesting, because everyone would be battling to win since no one likes to do house chores.  But I would rather try gambling with my friends than family because at the end some siblings will not stick to their own side of the deal and that can be discouraging.

It reminds me of my old friend who always gambled with his family, he told me it is always fun until someone looses. According to him, gambling with family should not be considered gambling, it can cause misunderstanding. I have never tried gambling with my family, and I hope to do that someday so that I can know how it feels.
You really have to try because it can be so interesting.  Like you mentioned some siblings not sticking by their side of the deal, I would say that it is not always true. That’s exactly what makes it an interesting game, with everyone trying hard to win. 

I enjoy to play with my family, playing games with my siblings has a way of bonding us together and it is usually a time everyone can express their feelings in my house. Gambling with family members is interesting but it’s better to be played among matured minds, underage should be exempted.
138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Capital on: April 25, 2019, 05:02:32 PM
You have almost listed all the ways of getting capital but you forget to mention give always from airdrops you can also play gambling games using you found realize from your give always which are giving to you by project developers during they early stage of they coin offering.
I think what you are referring to are giveaways(you've misspelled it) from aidrops but those are something that people don't care about anymore since most of the coins are not worthy at all. There still are lots of gambling websites that offer free giveaway in real money and those should definitely be one of your source for gambling capital since we are talking about free money
I think there is no point adding giveaways because   it’s really of no use and has become ineffective, since it has almost lost value; This is probably one of the reasons the OP chose not to include it to the list. 2 years ago was when airdrops were still kind of reasonable but it’s now outdated because it does not really pay that much again. Rather than airdrop, using money from increase in Bitcoin or from signature campaign would be better, since they both belong to the category of cash that comes in freely. I prefer money that comes in as gift to gamble all day.
139  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you disagree?? on: April 25, 2019, 04:08:52 PM
I remember before, and way back in 2017, the bull starts on September way up high in decemer 16. I think the market is quite too early now, but if the bull run will drive the financial assets of cryptocurrency as high as possible, we can start investing today since the market price for now seems not that big enough if we are going to consider the all time high soon.
I am not sure the bull RUN of today will really follow the pattern of 2017, if we look at the period the LAST bull RUN used calls for alarm, the bull really lived a short live then and that is the repercussion of it today, the short live of the last bull discouraged the investors from the market and they saw it as an unreliable coin for store value.

I want to personally believe that this pattern of slowly increasing is what bitcoin will follow till it gets ATH. From this pattern, many investors will get use to the increase along the line and will not be strange things for them that will prompt them into dumping the coin abruptly.
140  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you see cryptocurrency 10 years from now? on: April 25, 2019, 03:19:58 PM
From the past 10 years we have seen such great movement of adaptation.
So I think in the next 10 years we could use it as a regular payment method and we could pay anything with crypto currency.
That is the right thing to say, the adoption of digital payment using cryptocurrency will be on the rise but may not successfully displace fiat of its position, although the position fiat will occupy then will almost be as tiny as needle, because the attention of 60% of the whole world would have been diverted to cryptocurrency by then.

The awareness is so high that all the people that I have asked around me has heard about cryptocurrency, and especially bitcoin and it is not a strange thing to them, the next stage will just be how they can apply it to their financial system for us to get to the peak of adoption which will happen fast within that 10 years.
